Assessments of the presidential elections started before the final results have been published. Governmental layers, part of non-governmental organizations and observing missions were making statements on TV that the elections were fair and transparent.

Have a Carrier 4 ton geotherm 2 speed , Isolated refrigeration circuits variable speed ICm fan motor closed loop dual pump package model # 50ybvo48. I have had 3 compressor failures in barely 5 yrs . I have searched all over and I can not find any information regarding other people having these failures.I have had a leak in the ground loop and it had to be filled at least 1 time a yr sometimes twice, and contractor finally admitted it leaked and fixed it this fall when he installed 2nd new compressor. that compressor was in 5 months and ran maybe 3 months before it failed. The first compressor failed within the first 45 days. Both circuits have had 1 compressor replacement so it is not common to 1 circuit. They are going to replace the unit but they say that the engineer who looked at it after 2nd compressor was installed and nobody else knows why it failed. I am really concerned that it was not units fault but was a bad installation and that the same person is putting the new one in without any changes.
Am I just a worry wart or does any think that the ductwork or the loop could cause these kind of problems. There is a lot more information I can provide , I have had other problems too and it always seemed to happen at same time of year during late Januaury Thanks.
Sorry about the long post Thanks

Salvete omnes,
Just a few more excerpts from Pliny that I'd like your comments/opinions on:
in iis vero quos arcessita mors aufert, hic insanabilis dolor est, quod creduntur potuisse diu vivere 1.9
certainly in those whom are borne away by voluntary death, this pain is insatiable, for they are believed to have been able to live longer
nam plerumque morbi quoque per successiones quasdam ut alia traduntur 1.12
for generally diseases are delivered through certain successions to others Not sure where the "ut" fits in here though.
Cogito quo amico, quo viro caream 1.12
I think I am deprived of that friend, that man
I took the "caream" as a subjunctive here, although I'm sure it could be translated as fut ind actuve and "I shall be deprived". I would have thought though, that an infinitive would have been used here as it's indirect speech.
Decessit superstitibus suis, florente re publica, quae illi omnibus suis carior erat
He departed with his family surviving him, the Republic flourishing.....
I know what is being said in the remainder of the sentence, but I can't figure out how it is being said.

This week on Valley Edition we talk about the controversy over the labeling of genetically modified foods, which will be on the November ballot as Proposition 37. We hear arguments on both sides of the issue. We also talk about the current heat wave and what is has to do with global warming, and learn more about a series of events from the Fresno County Library connected to the book Farewell to Manzanar.
Segment 1: Prop 37 Sparks Debate Over GMO Foods
Controversy has erupted over what foods could be labeled as "natural" under California's Proposition 37, which would require the labeling of genetically engineered foods. California's Proposition 37 would require foods containing genetically modified ingredients to be labeled. But a part of the initiative regarding what foods can be labeled "natural" has sparked controversy. On this segment of Valley Edition, we hear a report from Kathleen Masterson, and talk with people on opposite sides of the Prop 37 debate. Our guests include Stacey Malcon, media director for the Yes on 37 campaign, who supports the labeling requirements, and Karri Hammerstrom, president of the group California Women for Agriculture and a stone fruit farmer from Fresno County, who opposes the ballot measure.
Segment 2: Heat Wave & Global Warming
July was the hottest month on record in the US, and here in Central California August temperatures are near records. On this segment of Valley Edition, we talk about the heat wave and human caused climate change with Fresno State and Fresno City College instructor Sean Boyd, and Professor Noah Diffenbaugh from Stanford University's School of Earth Sciences and Woods Institute for the Environment.
Segment 3: Farewell to Manzanar
The Fresno County Public Library is sponsoring a series of events around the book Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, as part of the California Reads series. The events focus on an important part of local and national history, the forced internment of Japanese-Americans, many of whom lived in Central California, during World War II. The events include an exhibit of photos by Ansel Adams, a discussion with the author, and more. Roberta Barton from the Fresno County Public Library joins us to talk about the events.

Connie Passalacqua Hayman (Marlena De Lacroix): A hoot and a delight for thirty years of GH. Does anyone remember her shattering performance as Carrie Marler's dual personalities in the Doug Marland-written years of GUIDING LIGHT?
Lynn Liccardo: Seeing her name of the final list reminded me that I've always wondered how Doug Marland's story for Carrie Todd Marler would have played out had GUIDING LIGHT producer, Allan Potter, not fired Elliot.
Nelson Aspen: She first came on to my radar as "Carrie" on GL. No one ever suspected she was the murderer of "Diane Ballard" which was a credit not only to the brilliant writing at the time, but her dynamic acting ability and chemistry with Jerry ver Dorn. Of course, now to me she is a guilty pleasure on GH and a treasured piece of that show's history.
Roger Newcomb: I loved GUIDING LIGHT in the '80s and her Carrie was a character I wish had stuck around longer. Anjelica was delicious on DAYS, and her Tracy on GH, well, is one of the most entertaining characters ever, thanks to Elliot.
Wally Kurth: (worked with Elliot on GH) What can I say about my mother-lover? Yeah, whether she's playing my love interest on DAYS or my overbearing mom on GH, Jane is one of those rare talents that brings out the best in you. Acting is a joint effort, despite the handful of narcissistic exceptions that seem to do just fine acting alone, so working with Jane just makes you a better actor. She has become a dear friend over years and still imparts words of wisdom that I apply to both my art and life. Daytime TV is better because of her.
Kin Shriner: (worked with Elliot on GH) Tough as nails but a great movie partner.
Robert Newman: (worked with Elliot on GL) Jane was one of the first to take me under her wing and generously teach me what 3-camera acting was all about. Watching her work was like taking a master class. Working with her (yes, we even had a bedroom scene once) was a gift. She taught me so much about both sides of the camera. She continues to be a great force in daytime.

Skip the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon; it always sounds as if the train runs along side the Canyon, but it doesn't. Drive yourself tto the Canyon and walk around and take the busses from place to place.
redwood forest (is that what it is called? The giant trees?) are a must see, really.
If you get to NYC and want to take a sightseeing boat ride, do not take the Circle Line. The ride is expensive, long and the narration is often so bad it can make you want to throw yourself overboard. A better alternative is offered at South Street Seaport. It's cheaper, shorter and will let you get great shots of everything you might want to photograph. You might also want to consider Governor's Island. It's not always open to visitors so you need to check. The ferry from the Battery is free and there are forts dating from the War of 1812 and the American Civil War as well as other interesting sites and spectacular views of lower Manhattan.
It seems like seeing Area 51 instead of Roswell could be a very good idea.
Area 51 is a government site and is not open to the public. It is in the middle of nowhere, NV. They highly discourage visitors IYKWIM. If you want to do a local trip, visit Roswell for the day and then go back to Las Vegas.
Note that anywhere south in the US is going to be getting hot in June. TX, NM, NV and AZ especially unless you plan on sticking to the northern parts of the states. Trains and busses won't be much of an option for seeing them unfortunately. In the SW we heavily rely on our autos because the public transit really is nill.I drove across Texas once. It took an entire day driving to get from one side to the other. :/ Avoid that drive if at all possible.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is pleased to announce Jess Brown's MS Thesis Defense: "Assessment of Similarity in Chemically Complex Samples."
Date: Thursday, July 10, 2014
Time: 11:00am
Location: Engineering Building 202L (CEE Conference Room)
Adviser: Dr. James Pankow
This work compares the complex flavor profiles of flavored tobacco and candy/Kool-Aid in order to determine if "candy-flavored tobacco" is a valid designation. The difficulty of recognizing similarities and differences in samples increases with chemical complexity; it is a common problem encountered in environmental samples. The second part of this work therefore employed hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to facilitate pattern recognition in data generated from air sample measurements taken in the Missouri Ozarks region. HCA provided the opportunity to assess meteorological impacts on the chemistry of secondary organic aerosol precursors.

Reviews forBBQ & Ranch Chicken Pizza
My Review
Average Rating
"My family loves this and I do this as a last minute meal. I keep the ingredients on hand at all time. I usually make 2 pizzas since everyone loves it so much!"
"My husband's favorite food is pizza and although I normally make the wholw shabang ie homemade dough, homemade sauce, etc, I like to try out these quick and simple ideas. My husband also loved ranch and I knew he would be happy with this one. We enjoyed it very much and you can certainly add more things to your liking such as mushrooms, onion, black olives, artichokes, etc."
"My only reccomendation is be mindful of how much ranch."
"I added fresh cilantro and green onion to the sauce and black beans on top. Was absolutely delicious!"
"I added red onion to this and its delicious. Very good."
"I was surprised at how much rolling was necessary to stretch the crescent roll dough to fit a true 15x10 pan. Other than that, I thought the flavor was great. Not too spicy for my little one, but flavorful enough that the whole family enjoyed it."

Jealousy and other things
I'm jealous of my fellow bloggers who get to go to the IfHI conference in April. It sounds like a blast. I'd really love to get to meet them in person. But, I've got too many trips planned this year already. I really can't spend the money on this one. Besides, hubby probably couldn't get behind it. It's all still quackery to him. Maybe I can go some other year.
The shoulder is feeling better. I've been to the acupuncturist twice. I am sleeping well, and there is basically no more pain. In fact, it was really difficult for me to keep myself off the golf course this weekend. I really wanted to play in the worst way. (And believe me, I play in the worst way!) So, I dutifully did my recumbent bike and treadmill routine to get a little sweating done. I'm going to have to do some concentrated strength building around the rotator in order to get my shoulder into golfing shape.
There's not much to report food-wise. I'm still doing my daily struggle with portion control. Sometimes I think I'm my own worst enemy. Except for the occasional taste of wheat, I'm avoiding the avoids pretty consistently. Portion control…. I think I've said that numerous times before this.
Spring has hit the Northwest. It was 62 today and supposed to be 65 tomorrow. The cherry trees and forsythia are all in full bloom. Not much rain here. But there is lots of pollen! A-choo!
Eat well. Be well.

Remembering 13 Unsung Heroes of Photojournalism
Posted by David Walker on Wednesday February 29, 2012 | Photojournalism
Posted by David Walker on Wednesday February 29, 2012 | Photojournalism
News stories of the deaths in Syria of American reporter Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik totaled in the thousands last week. That was followed by hundreds of stories yesterday about the rescue of British photographer Paul Conroy, who was injured in the same attack in Homs, Syria that killed Ochlik and Colvin.
Lost in much of the coverage about Conroy's rescue was the fact that 35 activists helped Conroy reach safety in Lebanon, and 13 of them died during the rescue mission. AP reported those deaths, which occurred when government troops attacked the activists.
Meanwhile, the death last Friday of Anas al-Tarsha, a young Syrian videographer and the fourth journalist to die in Homs within a week, was virtually unreported by the news media, except in Spain. The Committee to Protect Journalists, NPPA, Lightstalkers, and a few others also mentioned his death. The death of the fourth journalist, Syrian video blogger Rami al-Sayed, also received much less coverage last week than the deaths of Ochlik and Colvin.
In other words, Western journalists get into trouble, and it's big news. Local journalists and fixers and others who get injured or killed along side them are too often relegated to the footnotes.
Of course, hundreds of Syrians have died and thousands more have been injured in Homs, where government troops have been shelling rebels and unarmed civilians alike for three weeks in order to keep the unpopular Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in power.
But a disproportionate amount of Western media attention and outrage seems reserved for its own journalists, and it raises (again) the uncomfortable questions about the risks that Western journalists impose not only on themselves, but the locals who aid them. (The issue arose last spring, when a driver for four New York Times journalists went missing after they were detained at a checkpoint in Libya. It wasn't until November that The New York Times quietly acknowledged the driver's death.)
This isn't to say that the deaths of Colvin, Ochlik or any other journalists are anything but a tragedy, regardless of their nationality. Nor is it to suggest selfishness or callousness on the part of individual journalists for whom drivers, fixers, or anyone else risks life and limb. (Conroy's wife has told The Western Morning News that the photographer "is obviously very concerned for all the people who lost their lives in helping them out. It's a real burden on him to know that so many people died.")
What makes the issue so complicated is that journalists endanger themselves and others for good, defensible reasons. By bearing witness to the savagery committed by al-Assad, journalists are trying to help the Syrian people. And they are making a difference. The images and reports have turned the international community (with the glaring exceptions of China and Russia) against al-Assad, and put pressure on him to allow the Red Cross and Red Crescent in to help evacuate the dead and wounded.
That's why al-Assad is targeting journalists with intent to kill them, while Syrian citizens are risking their lives to help those same journalists. The Syrians who died in the rescue of Paul Conroy undertook the mission voluntarily. But their deaths shouldn't be his burden to bear alone, because they might have died for any journalist in Conroy's predicament. To recognize and honor them for their sacrifice is to elevate and honor not only them, but all who put themselves at risk anywhere in the world to make the work of journalists possible.

If you are traveling on the Oak Ridge Turnpike during the month of October and see little white crosses on the front lawn of St. Mary's Church, you may wonder what they represent.
If you are traveling on the Oak Ridge Turnpike during the month of October and see little white crosses on the front lawn of St. Mary's Church, you may wonder what they represent. The Respect for Life Ministry and Knights of Columbus of St. Mary's Church have collaborated to host the traveling display, Crosses for the Unborn.
The Knox County Chapter of Tennessee Right to Life provides these crosses to reflect "Lives Lost and Hearts Wounded." Each cross memorializes 30 unborn children. Although precise numbers are unavailable, with data released
by the Tennessee Department of Health, it is estimated that more than 3,000 abortions take place in the Knox County/East Tennessee region each year.
The Crosses for the Unborn display began in April 1992 when a church in Knoxville erected a similar display on their lawn. The local organization of Tennessee Right to Life then assembled materials and volunteers to create the memorial, and it has since been in various church lawns in the East Tennessee area and even at the University of Tennessee.
The display is meant to raise awareness of the enormous loss of lives locally and the tragedy that abortion is for mothers. It is also used as an outreach to those who are facing an untimely pregnancy or who need help healing from a past abortion by including the phone number for the 24 hour hotline for the Pregnancy Help Center.
Dedicated volunteers move the display each month. There have been notes, flowers and other items left at the crosses over the years. One note left with a small bouquet of flowers from a grieving mother particularly stands out:
"To my darling baby —
I think about you every day. I'm so sorry. Please
Forgive me and try to understand. I was so alone and afraid.
You are with my Jesus. He will hold you for me and I will too
some day.
Love, Mommy
P.S. I love U."
Churches of various denominations have hosted the display through the years. During 2011, the Crosses for the Unborn were at the following churches: Sevier Heights Baptist, Valley Grove Baptist, Covenant Ministry Center, Holy Ghost Catholic, Freedom House Church of God, Seventh Day Christian Assembly, New Covenant Fellowship, St. Therese Catholic in Clinton, the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, Circle Assembly of God, Beaver Dam Baptist, Grassy Valley Baptist, Wallace Memorial Baptist, West View Wesleyan and Calvary Baptist in Alcoa.

CBS Contest Highlights Husker TV Schedule
Lincoln - Live national television appearances on CBS, ESPN2, the Big Ten Network and the Pac-12 Network highlight a loaded schedule for the Nebraska women's basketball team in 2012-13.
The Huskers announced their full schedule with game times and national TV appearances on Thursday, Sept. 27, and NU's appearance on CBS highlights the list of 10 to 12 nationally televised games for the Big Red during the regular season. All of Nebraska's potential games in the Big Ten Tournament will also be televised by BTN leading up to the championship game on ESPN2.
Nebraska will take on Purdue in a rematch of the Big Ten Conference championship game on Saturday, Jan. 5, live at 1 p.m. (central) in a CBS nationally televised game. The game is believed to be Nebraska's first-ever women's basketball on CBS, and its first on any of the original three major national networks (CBS, ABC, NBC). It will also be the only Big Ten Conference women's basketball game on CBS this season.
"Obviously we are excited about the opportunity to play on CBS as part of the Big Ten's television package," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "Last year, we played a total of five overtimes in two games with Purdue, so hopefully we'll keep it exciting for the fans."
The matchup with the Boilermakers will be the first and only meeting in history between the two schools at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers defeated Purdue 93-89 in triple overtime in West Lafayette, Ind., on Feb. 2, 2012 in the first-ever meeting between the schools. Little more than a month later, Purdue defeated Nebraska 74-70 in double overtime in the Big Ten Championship Game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on March 4.
Both teams have been ranked in the top 25 in the previous meetings, and both could be ranked again when preseason polls come out this season.
Nebraska's matchup with Purdue will be the Huskers' third nationally televised game of the season. NU will make its first-ever appearance on the Pac-12 Network on Friday, Nov. 23, at 4 p.m. (central), when the Huskers take on USC at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. USC won 18 games and finished third in the Pac-12 a year ago, while finishing the season No. 41 among nearly 350 teams in the RPI.
The Huskers will face defending ACC Tournament champion Maryland at the Devaney Center on BTN as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. The Terrapins advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight last season and return the nucleus of a team that won 31 games in 2011-12. Maryland will likely be a preseason top-10 team in 2012-13.
Nebraska's matchup with Maryland will be the first of as many as nine Husker games set to appear on BTN, which reaches 90 million homes. The Huskers will make their second BTN appearance in their conference road opener at Indiana (Thursday, Jan. 10, 5:30 p.m.). Nebraska will also appear in road BTN contests at Minnesota (Sunday, Jan. 20, 5 p.m.), Ohio State (Thursday, Jan. 31, 7:30 p.m.) and Iowa (Monday, Feb. 11, 6:30 or 7:30 p.m.).
BTN is also scheduled to make two trips to Lincoln for Big Ten contests in the Huskers' final season at the Devaney Center. Nebraska will face Ohio State (Thursday, Feb. 14, 8 p.m.) and Iowa (Sunday, Feb. 24, 2 p.m.) on BTN.
Nebraska may also appear on BTN on Feb. 28 at Wisconsin or on Senior Night at the Devaney Center against defending Big Ten regular-season champion Penn State on Sunday, March 3. BTN will announce the television decisions on those games later in the Big Ten Conference season.
"The Big Ten Network is providing our program with outstanding national exposure," Yori said. "We're especially happy that BTN is going to give our fans at least four opportunities to watch us when we are away from the Devaney Center."
In addition to the national TV exposure provided by CBS, BTN and the Pac-12 Network, the Huskers will take on Penn State on ESPN2 at University Park, Pa., on Sunday, Jan. 13, at 1 p.m. (central). The Nittany Lions return four starters from a team that advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen last season. Nebraska's game with Penn State is one of six games involving Big Ten teams to be televised during the regular season on ESPN2.
All of Nebraska's non-nationally televised Big Ten Conference games will be streamed live to the internet for subscribers of BTN.com. The Huskers' non-conference games with Temple (Nov. 11), Sam Houston State (Nov. 20) and Oral Roberts (Dec. 20) will also be streamed live for BTN.com subscribers. Additional non-conference games could be added to Nebraska's BTN.com schedule, and other video stream information will be announced at a later date.
Nebraska returns four starters, including national player-of-the-year candidates Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore, from a team that went 24-9 overall and 10-6 in the Big Ten. The Huskers earned a trip to the 2012 NCAA Tournament to culminate one of the best seasons in school history.
Season tickets for Nebraska women's basketball are on sale now at Huskers.com or by calling the Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-8-BIG-RED.

My grandmother got me a GC to a local butcher. Sounds weird, right? But she knows that they have awesome cuts of meat that I won't buy because they're too expensive (I shop there for our meat every other week, but only buy the basics - roasts and such, forgoing the steaks because of the price). So she got me a GC for it and the look on my face was because I was so excited.So I was able to get a couple steak and a ham. Now my mouth is watering over the ham and I can't make it for a few more days!
... Merry Christmas to me! I'm getting drugs!
Why people hate gift cards...This year I got one with no value written on it and it's for a shop that's over 100 miles away.
My father is blind and can't shop anymore, so he gets gift cards. I love them. In addition, I got other gift cards from other people, so I'm sitting on $100 in gift cards this week.

What about a site like giftcards.com and swap it for something else? There should also be a phone number to the store on the back (or online) that you can call and check the balance. plasticjungle.com has a section that helps you check card balances.

The Right One
I'd like to settle down and get married, but I see so many of my friends getting married and then divorced after a few years. I don't want this to happen to me. What advice do you have?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
The first step is to make a list of all of the qualities you think are important in a future spouse. Traits that define a decent, honest, caring human should be "givens." You absolutely need to trust and respect the person. A good way to measure this is to ask: Do I want my children to grown up to be like him/her?
Now look at the other qualities on your list. How vital are they? In the long term, things like looks and hobbies are much less important. The big thing to look for is life goals that are compatible with yours. Rabbi Nachum Braverman writes that Jewish wisdom defines marriage as "the commitment a man and a woman make to become one and to pursue together common life goals."
Couples may argue over a stray toothpaste cap, the style of a new couch or whose turn it is to get up with the baby, but no matter how heated these run-ins become, they should never destroy a marriage. Remember this rule of thumb: a marriage that is threatened by where to spend a vacation is a marriage that lacks the bond of common life goals.
Marriages dissolve when two lives are pointed in different directions. Conflicts over the color of a new kitchen can generally be resolved, but conflicts in direction often cannot. Couples rarely break up over clashes in taste, but they do break up over whether to give priority to career or family, over whether or not to have children, over the education of their children and over which religion. These are life goal issues. They are issues every individual needs to carefully consider before inviting someone else to share his or her life. Two people who don't know where they are going should never commit to getting there together.
Once all this is in place – this person has good character, you trust and respect them, and you share common life goals – the "final ingredient" is physical attraction. This does not means Hollywood-style fireworks, but rather a general sense that this person has pleasant physical features. The stronger attraction will grow as it is mixed with the emotional bond that is deepened over time.

Smile, and discreetly change the subject.
Whenever I'm flattered, like someone says :
Aaron, you are so handsome. I'm sure you could date any woman if you want. (ok this is just an instance. Don't upset. )
Basically, I don't know what to say. At this kinds of moment, I wanna tell him or her something with a wit. But I just don't say anything and I don't want it to be looked as rude.
Smile, and discreetly change the subject.
Just say thanks to them!!!(be polite!I think they won't say the same thing when they meet you next time)
Why not reply something like "Well, flattering will get you nowhere!".
reklov, thank you so much for reply. I was hoping that kind of expression. but..Originally Posted by reklov
What does that even mean? -_-;;;
"Flattery will get you nowhere" is the usual version. It means: "It doesn't matter how much you flatter, it won't help you get what you want from me." It's a way of gently accusing someone of trying to use flattery to make you do something for them. Of course, it's not really an accusation; it's usually said with a
Oh, that's very useful expression!! Thanks a lot!!Originally Posted by rewboss
Try:Originally Posted by Aaron
Flattery will get you no where, but DO continue OR
Oh well, what can I say, seems it just in my hormones OR
"Handsome" is my middle name OR indeed, as I normally say:
Trust me sunshine, I may be good-looking, but whenever YOU are around me, I'll ALWAYS stand second
Much depends of course on whether a) the flatterer is male or female b) you would prefer the flatterer to be male or female.
Very smooth agent 007.Originally Posted by j4mes_bond25

A Raynham man is dead and a Norton man is facing vehicular homicide charges after a two-car crash just before midnight on Friday.
According to Mansfield police, witnesses said they saw Nicholas G. Salvo, 23, of Norton, run a red light at a high rate of speed just as the Raynham man's car was making a legal, left-hand turn onto Norfolk Street where it intersects Route 140.
The 63-year-old victim was transported to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where he was declared dead.
Salvo is charged with motor vehicle homicide while under the influence of an intoxicating substance, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to stop at a red light and marked lanes violation.
Police so far have not indicated whether they suspect Salvo was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Salvo was not seriously injured and was transported from Rhode Island Hospital to police headquarters, where bail was set at $10,000 pending arraignment Monday in Attleboro District Court, police said.
A Mansfield police dispatcher said all information related to the crash is being posted on the department's Facebook page. Updates, she said, will also become available via the department's Twitter account.
Police had not yet identified the Raynham victim as of Saturday night. There were no officers with knowledge of the case available for comment Saturday.
The incident is being investigated by the Massachusetts State Police Accident Reconstruction Team and the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, with the assistance of Mansfield police.

SPRINGFIELD - Both candidates seeking the Republican nomination to be Illinois treasurer say they want to help right the state's financial ship - one bringing years of legislative experience to the job, the other promoting his technical expertise as a certified public accountant.
Former House Republican leader Tom Cross and DuPage County Auditor Bob Grogan are jockeying to be the GOP candidate for a post being vacated by incumbent Dan Rutherford at a time when Illinois finds itself in a continuing financial mess. Each is pledging to use the post as a catalyst for change, though the treasurer's role in state budget affairs is limited and recent office holders have used the position as more of a stepping stone to higher office.
Cross brings a number of advantages to the race, including wider name recognition due to his years in Springfield and in party leadership, not to mention having raised more than six times as much cash as Grogan.
Yet possibly complicating the Oswego Republican's bid is his decision in November to vote for legalizing same-sex marriage in Illinois. He was one of only three House Republicans to do so, and the vote held considerable risk as he was appealing to Republican primary voters who tend to be socially conservative.
"I think people are going to say, 'I may not like it,' but he's trying to fix the state, he's trying to fix the budget, he's been aggressive on (pension reform), and I like what he's been doing on financial issues," Cross said in an interview.
While Grogan says he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, he has not made an issue of Cross' vote on the campaign trail, noting same-sex marriage is "not related to the duties or the operations of the treasurer's office." He has focused on promoting his experience tracking county finances and operations, arguing that it makes him the best qualified candidate to run the treasurer's office efficiently.
Illinois' treasurer is tasked with investing more than $15 billion in taxpayer dollars, helping Illinois citizens manage finances and keeping track of unclaimed property. The office also manages college savings programs for Illinoisans. Those programs have landed previous officeholders in hot water, as both Rutherford, a Republican now running for governor, and his predecessor, Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, were criticized for the way they ran the Bright Start program, which lost close to $150 million in recent years.
Cross, 55, stepped down from his House leadership post in August when announcing his bid for treasurer. He had held the post for a decade, and has served in the Legislature since 1993. The former prosecutor has made fiscal reforms, pension reform and budget cutting a focus of his legislative career. In an Associated Press campaign questionnaire, he pledged to battle against government fraud, establish an "integrity unit" for the office and institute quarterly audits of the college savings program.
He says his gay marriage support comes from a longstanding belief in protecting individual freedoms. He acknowledged encountering blowback from some primary voters, but says he hopes his record will help them look past it. If he wins the primary, the vote could help him win broader support against a Democrat in the general election at a time when increasing numbers of Illinoisans support same-sex marriage.
Gloria Campos, the Republican Party chairwoman in southern Jackson County, agreed that Cross' vote could have an impact in some swaths of the state. But at this point, she said, the issue is not being raised much.
"One time I have heard a remark. That's about it," she said.
Grogan, 45, is a CPA from Downers Grove and has served as Du Page's auditor since 2008. He told the AP that speeding up the turnaround time in returning unclaimed property was one example of how he'd make the treasurer's office more efficient. He says he'd use the office as a "bully pulpit to help drive reforms away from (Illinois') fiscally irresponsible past."
The winner of the March 18 primary will face Democratic State Sen. Mike Frerichs of Champaign in the November general election.

|Yemen's President in Unexpected Aden Trip amid Clashes
|[An Nahar] Yemeni President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi was paying a surprise visit to Aden on Sunday as witnesses said festivities raged between police and protesting southern separatists amid calls for civil disobedience.
Hadi was in Aden on an "inspection visit", his first since becoming president in February 2012, and would meet local officials and military leaders, the state news agency Saba reported.
A security official in Aden told Agence La Belle France Presse that Hadi was visiting to "closely check the situation in Aden following the unrest".
Protests have intensified in south Yemen since the killing of five people in festivities between police and pro-independence demonstrations on Thursday, when the deeply divided country marked a year since the ouster of strongman President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
Witnesses said hardliners from the Southern Movement on Sunday clashed with security forces in the southeastern city of Mukalla after they blocked roads with burning tyres and rocks.
"The army is using live ammunition against protesters," said Nasser Baqazquz, an activist from the separatist group.
In Aden itself, protesters blocked roads in the neighborhoods of Mansura, Sheikh Osman and Dar Saad, witnesses said, but no festivities were reported.
Two protesters and a policeman died when festivities erupted in the south, including Aden, on Saturday, security officials and medics said.
Also on Saturday, in the city of Sayun in the eastern province of Hadramawt, protesters trying to enforce a program of civil disobedience set a northern Yemen merchant on fire, leaving him in a critical condition, witnesses said. The man is in intensive care, a medical source told AFP.
The protesters also Saturday attacked shops in Mukalla owned by northerners, and burnt down two offices belonging to the Islamist Al-Islah (Reform) Party, which backs Hadi, witnesses said.
The party issued a statement protesting the attacks on its southern offices and urged its members to "exercise restraint."

A YouTuber made me do it! Except I can't remember which one. One with pretty lips.
A month or two ago a YouTuber mentioned one of her favourite lip glosses ever is Chanel's Brilliant Extreme in Giggle. With a name like Giggle, I had to order one (I think Debenhams had 10% off), and I generally have faith that even though I was buying blind, Chanel comes up with the goods.
So it arrives and it looks lovely, as Chanel does, but rather serious. Not very giggly:
What do I mean by that? Look at it. This is a serious lip gloss colour. No shimmer, no sparkles, not perky. It's sort of a mauve-brown that could definitely look quite nude on my pigmented lips, not sure about paler girls. My usual Chanel lip gloss collection is all about the pretty sparkle which they get so right…
On the wand – it still looks pretty serious to me, and a bit brown. Urgh brown lip gloss.
You know when you're growing up and you think certain things are chic? Mine was brown lipstick and lip gloss. We all wore it for our final year photos at High School. There's a hideous photo of me somewhere in burgundy brown lipstick, looking like I've been eating nothing but SMASH potato for the last year.
But I digress….
Swatch! We are till look serious but now it looks more mauve to me.
I generally find non shimmer lip glosses somewhat dull on my lips, and where the gloss is a pricey one, I feel like it could easily be duped by something from No. 17 or something.
So then I put it on the lips and the first thing I think is…livery. It reminds me of a fine slither of liver and I hate liver so much.
But then it settles, and it looks a bit purple, then more rose, then purple again, then it settles into a nude-brown-mauve very pretty and relatively pigmented elegant shine. My point is, despite my above moaning, I actually like it. A lot!
It's actually quite an unusual nude gloss because of the brown and purple tone in it – or perhaps it's my natural lip tone (which is quite pigmented) bringing it out. Either way, I like. I'll wear this when I have to fire someone.
I think I paid about £16 for this (can't really remember) but it's around that ballpark so not cheap.
Would you buy Chanel Giggle Lipgloss? What is your favourite Chanel Lip Gloss?

I don't think this has to be a dealbreaker. If carbon nanotubes are used, their natural structural
Actually, I believe it was an essay or an editorial. It was published in "Wireless World", a British electronics magazine. AFAIK, Clarke patented the geostationary orbit, but his patent expired before anyone had the capacity to put a satellite there.
Arthur Clarke had asked him to do the calculations for a book he was currently writing
The book was "Fountains of Paradise", where a space elevator was built in an island located south of
So you mean that we would really be saying, "That's no moon it's a space station"?I don't even have the heart to calculate 1x; the cable would weigh as much as a moon.
[ Snip ignorance about a space elevator... ]
Young grasshopper, time for research, try Wikipedia's article on space elevators [wikipedia.org] for a starting point. The external links (at the bottom) are good for advanced research.
Short answer: There is nothing, as far as we can tell, which makes a space elevator impossible. Current limiting technology appears to be the size and strength of carbon nanotubes we can create.
It's 60 miles to the beginning of space, and approximately 20,000 miles to geosynchronous orbit. The anchor for the space elevator needs to be at 3x geosynchronous orbit or approximately 60,000 miles out. They had that number right, but your comment emphasizes the Herculean nature of the task.
As cool as this idea is, there are some problems (especially for the lower altitudes). Some of the problems are more serious than others:
Wind shear: winds at various altitudes can differ widely. Both the cable and anything climbing it will be affected.
Resonance: a cable will tend to vibrate; it will be necessary to dampen the vibration. Usually this is done with strategically placed weights. With an object climbing the cable, however, the resonance will be constantly changing.
No Adspace: There will be no place to put banner ads, so the thing will never be profitable [slashdot.org].
Environmentally Harmful: birds could run into it and die. Doesn't anyone consider birds?
Again with the birds! Birds will fly into just about anything over 5 feet tall - it's called "natural selection".
(I wish I was purely kidding!)
I can't help but think about all the political hurdles that'll delay the space elevator more than any technical setbacks. And then I get to thinking about how slow and unromantic a space elevator ascent would be compared to the exciting phallic-rocket launch. Still, the space elevator is about the only way to eventually get launch costs below a dollar per pound; chemical rockets are too energy-wasteful to ever reach that point.
Or does it mean that it was fairly windy, snowing abit and it totalling a couple of centimeters on the ground and people who had watched to many catastroph-movies lately bandied about in Libraries burning books and being faintly surprised about how little warmth it produced?
Wow, I wasn't expecting my blog post to get
BTW, the height of the building our robot climbed is 290 feet, not 260. Not a huge difference, but I wanted to correct the error in the original
After seeing more than a half-dozen comments on my blog post right after being slashdotted tonight, I got real motivated to get the pictures up ASAP. You can now see pictures of the day at http://www.liftport.com/gallery/MITdemo_2004Nov [liftport.com]
#include <materials_dont_exist.h>
Or, slightly more verbosely, we can't build a space elevator because we can't construct a strong enough "ribbon". Carbon nanotubes are theoretically strong enough, but nobody has yet reported a macroscopic piece of material made from them that has the required tensile strength. While there is a lot of nanotube research going on, there's no guarantee that the right materials will be available soon. There's no guarantee that such materials will ever be available.
Don't get me wrong, I sincerely hope that the space elevator can be built. But until I can hold, in my hand, the requisite bit of unobtanium with enough tensile strength, I'll stifle my excitement.
So, it has a energy-storage and a climbing-mechanism, none of which can climb to space, even with improvements. Instead both components will need to be made fundamentally different.
Most serious designs I've seen use energy from an external source, because if you are carrying your own energy on the climber, then you use most of your power to lift the energy-storage. (sorta like rockets are mostly lifting rocket-fuel) Ideas include powerful lasers shining on the thing from below, being converted to electricity by efficient photocells. (cells tuned to a single frequency like laser can be more efficient than full-spectrum cells) The laser will get weaker as the climber gains heigth, but so will gravity and thus the required energy.
For the actual climbing a non-contact method would be preferable, perhaps something involving magnetism. (essentially a vertical maglev) The trick is to manage that without making the ribbon itself much heavier. (and thus more expensive)
The intelligence of any discussion diminishes with the square of the number of participants. -- Adam Walinsky

Washington, D.C. -- With three days before the formal unveiling, more than 1,200 federal employees have already registered their interest online in the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Candidate Development Program, and over 11,000 individuals have visited the program's website for additional information. Online registration for e-mail updates is located at http://apps.opm.gov/fedcdp, or through a link at OPM's USAJOBS website at www.usajobs.gov.
On November 15, federal employees and the general public will be able to formally register their interest online in OPM's highly anticipated preparatory program for future government executives.
The Senior Executive Service Federal Candidate Development Program (FED CDP), says OPM Director Kay Coles James, will be a productive vehicle in preparing the next generation of federal executives, while expanding outreach efforts to a more diverse pool of qualified individuals.
As expected, the inaugural class of the program has generated strong interest. Since its unveiling last week, more than 11,000 individuals have visited OPM's websites (http://apps.opm.gov/fedcdp) or www.usajobs.gov for information on the program, with more than 1,200 potential candidates registering online for e-mail updates.
Specific information about the FED CDP can be obtained at www.opm.gov/ses/fedcdp.
"The Senior Executive Service Federal Candidate Development Program will be the springboard for many of the government's future executives and leaders," said James. "I challenge every organization or stakeholder group interested in the future strength, qualifications and diversity of the Senior Executive Service to communicate news of this program to their membership immediately. The comprehensive structure of the FED CDP will further develop the leadership skills and attributes that candidates must demonstrate prior to their acceptance into the program. At the program's conclusion, graduates will be ready to make an immediate impact on the smooth and efficient operation of programs across government. Agency managers must prepare now to incorporate these qualified graduates as they refine agency succession and human capital plans to meet future needs."
The FED CDP is open to current federal employees and the general public who want to pursue an ambitious career path and can demonstrate one year of previous supervisory experience at the GS-14 level or above, or comparable non-federal supervisory experience.
OPM's immensely popular USAJOBS website (www.usajobs.gov) contains a link for job seekers to obtain information about the FED CDP. The link is an additional feature to the site, which each day advertises approximately 17,000 federal job openings.
The Senior Executive Service (SES) is the federal government's top cadre of managers. Its members manage many of the nation's most important programs in national security and defense; science and technology; agriculture and the environment, intelligence and information technology; and many other critical areas.
Participants in the FED CDP will be challenged by a gauntlet of formal training, competitive, real-life programs and mentoring relationships. Before graduating from the 14-month program, class members will demonstrate their leadership skills and agility as they are immersed in actual programs, requiring a demonstration of their problem-solving, team-building and people skills.

I am going to quote the whole post because it's important to see that the OP doesn't answer his own question: there are no reasons, just a lot of emotion. This is what bothers me about Barack supporters in general.
Robyn66 Donating Member (165 posts)
Why I am supporting Obama- in case anyone cares ;)
I just finished watching the movie Bobby again. It always makes me cry at the end. Not because its a particularly great movie, I really didnt care about the back stories that belonged to the characters, but because of the footage of Bobby Kennedy throughout the film that shows him campaigning for president in 1968. And what he meant to the people of this country.
I was two years old in 1968 so I had no idea of what a year that was. I also come from a REPUBLICAN family. I grew up in one of those families where you voted like your parents did and Daddy let you know who the right people were to vote for thank you very much.
The Democrats are just no good. I would hear my Mother and Grandfather say. My Dad was working three jobs at the time in the mid 70s when I started to question things, and there was never ever a good thing said about a Kennedy in my house, and GOD help you if you tried to argue the fact. I dont remember debate or discussion-just the truths in the house I grew up in:
Protesters were just drug addicts with nothing important to say-but they hated America and if they didnt like this country they should get the hell out.
The people who went to Canada to avoid the draft should be brought back and shot for being deserters.
We vote Republican because we Vote Republican. Those Damn Democrats want to put everyone on welfare and tax us to death.
Oh and by the way, the Kennedys are no good.
So, I lived my life believing the Kennedys were no good and I voted for Regan in the first election I was old enough to vote in and I voted for Daddy Bush like I was supposed to. My mother told me that George wasnt really pro life and she was sure Barbara was pro-choice so I shouldnt worry about abortion rights and I wasnt going to have sex until I was married anyway so why worry about it.? I was in college by the time we had that conversation and had an anxious moment at the Family Planning clinic before I got on the Pill.
Slowly but surely I came to my senses. This really pissed off my parents but by then I was married with kids of my own so I could just hang up the phone. But I never got over my dislike of the Kennedys
I did have reasons that developed over time. I dont think some of them did right by some of the women in their lives, but I had no idea about who they were as politicians.
So when I tell you all this, its because I have only just started learning about what the Kennedys stood for over the past couple of years. I really never paid attention to anything Bobby Kennedy did or said until saw Bobby and I was moved and touched to my heart at what he said and the ideals he embodied. And now I am reading about him and looking for news clips of his speeches because I just want to hear it all. I can only imagine that must have been somewhat what it was like when he was out in the world in his time.
Our country was in a desperate crisis in 1968 just as it is now, and people pinned all of their hopes on there even being a future on Bobby Kennedy.
Can you compare Barak Obama to Bobby Kennedy? In most ways I dont think you can. I think that Bobby Kennedy was a once in a lifetime politician with a once in a life time vision.
But I do think that we are in a similar circumstance, if not a more dire one than 1968. We not only have a war without end but we have assaults on the constitution and now a congress who seems to be too timid to act as we have directed them.
One thing is for sure, Barak Obama must win in November. We are in a desperate place now that the people of 1968 were in. We need Barak Obama to win. We need him for the Environment, Womens Rights and to regain respect in the world.
I am willing to look past FISA because I trust him. Frankly, I dont care what he has to do to get elected as long as he gets elected. I have faith that he is going to correct a lot of these aberrations once he is president.
I have never been lucky enough to see Barak speak in person but I hope to some day. But even watching him on TV giving a speech grips me and makes me feel that if we can only hang on we will be ok. I believe him and I believe in him and I have never felt that way about a politician and I have never given money to a political campaign until now.
I am not normally a starry eyed Believer I am actually pretty cynical and believe and expect the worst from people because in my experience in life its a fair bet that is what you will get. But Barak is different.
So in spite of his human flaws I will do anything I can to get him elected.
He may not be Bobby Kennedy but I feel in my heart he is our generations Bobby Kennedy.

text: I am considering litespeed for its DDOS abilities but am having trouble finding a lot of details. I read the recent article about how litespeed was used to stop a DDOS attack (http://blog.litespeedtech.com/articles/category/anti-ddos/) and wanted some more information on one sentence: "LiteSpeed is able to detect the IPs (bot) that abuse servers and drop all the connections from detected bots" So how exactly does it do that? I've read the FAQs regarding setting up DDOS here: http://www.litespeedtech.com/how-tos.html#qa_dos I'm guessing that once you've set the things like the max_request_url_length then any IP address that exceeds that is considered a bot. Is that right? And how about the per client settings? If something exceeds the "static requests per second" limit does that get banned too? Basically I guess what I'm looking for is a better explanation or how IP addresses get banned and unbanned. Any insight would be much appreciated.

ROCKFORD (AP) — The city of Rockford ended 2012 with 14 homicides — the lowest total in eight years.
The Rockford Register Star (http://bit.ly/WXmmiK ) reports the total is a drop from the 20 homicides the city has averaged in recent years.
Police say arrests have been made in eight of 2012's 14 homicides. They also say eight of the year's homicide victims were shot to death, three were beaten, one was stabbed, one died in a car crash and a premature-born infant was found to have cocaine in its system.
Police say they don't know why the number of homicides fell in 2012.
