Pushing Back the Online Fraud Wave with Multi-Factor Authentication
March 17, 2017
Since EMV chip technology began to take hold in the US, it has begun pushing fraudsters out of the point-of-sale channel and into the online channel.
Whether shoppers use their mobile device, a tablet or their PC to interact with merchants, the online channel is vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks, from card-not-present and application fraud, to account takeover, malware/crimeware and bots.
For merchants, the challenge is how to tighten security without hindering transactions and creating unnecessary friction for customers. With a shopping cart abandonment rate of 69% for the last 11 years running, according to the Baymard Institute, it's understandable why the thought of adding more friction to tighten security strikes fear in the hearts of retailers.
Fighting Fraud, Easing Friction
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the use of multiple factors to identify every transaction: something you know (a password for example), something you have (a secure token or the mobile device itself can serve in such a capacity) and something you are (such as a biometric fingerprint). A multi-factor authentication strategy layers these factors together for the highest degree of security.
To implement such a strategy requires advanced device intelligence and risk analysis tools that enable you to view customers more holistically and therefore make more confident transaction decisions. Such deep device intelligence has two main benefits:
- It provides a permanent way to identify each device interacting with your business
- It validates the trustworthiness of the device
MFA is designed to gather as much contextual information as possible from all parts of the interaction, whether that is the customer, the device or other authentication information. This offers the ability to make a fully informed choice in real time to accept, reject or review.
When merchants are better able to recognize and trust returning devices, they can then allow more customers to transact faster and with greater ease, while simultaneously preventing fraud and stopping potential cyberthreats. These technologies can, in fact, enhance the user experience by simplifying the shopping experience, reducing shopping cart abandonment rates and enabling merchants to introduce innovations like one-click buying, without the fear of increased risk.
The ability to dramatically reduce the risk of fraud while delivering an elegant online customer experience no longer has to be mutually exclusive. With confidence in each transaction, merchants can fully leverage the online channel to attract new business opportunities and compete more effectively.

Rand Paul Ratchets Up His Attacks on Donald Trump – Donald Trump Responds
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) ratcheted up his attacks on Donald Trump in an interview with Politico.
Politico reported:
Sen. Rand Paul on Saturday signaled plans to ratchet up his attacks against Donald Trump during the next Republican primary debate Sept. 16 – and Trump fired back on Twitter.
Paul, who came out of the gate swinging at Trump during the first debate in August, joked in a telephone interview with POLITICO on Saturday morning, that, if anything, he wasn't hard enough on the real estate mogul, who was already surging in national polls before the first debate and has retained his lead as other candidates have fallen…
…Paul repeatedly took jabs at Trump. The Kentucky senator contrasted former Texas Gov. Rick Perry's decision to drop out of the Republican primary Friday with Trump's prominence in the race.
"You have a long-term governor from a large conservative state leaving the field, and meanwhile, the media continues to reinforce a celebrity that really doesn't have qualifications for office and in fact would alarm me if he were in charge of our nuclear weapons," Paul said. "So, really, I think it's a serious versus the unserious. And there is a danger that if we continue to laud so much attention on basically someone whose level of discourse is that of junior high, I think there's a problem, there's a great risk for the country."
Donald Trump responded in typical Trump fashion.
I truly understood the appeal of Ron Paul, but his son, @RandPaul, didn't get the right gene.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 12, 2015
Kentucky is embarrassed by Paul.
Lightweight Senator @RandPaul should focus on trying to get elected in Kentucky— a great state which is embarrassed by him.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 12, 2015
Trump ended his attacks by asking CNN to remove Rand Paul from the main debate stage.
Too many people on stage for debate. @RandPaul at 11th, with 2% in @RealClearNews, shouldn't be allowed to participate.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 12, 2015

"Remember remember the fifth of November."
Every year my friends have an extravagant Halloween party. For the last 2 years it has been in an old Victorian terrace house who lends itself well to dressing up for our fright night.
This year, Halloween fell on the Cup weekend in Australia. Lots of people like to take the Monday off and head away for a 4 day weekend to enjoy the beginning of Spring. With this in mind, the party was moved to the following weekend which happened to be Bonfire Night.
What is Bonfire Night? If you are British, you know what I'm talking about, if you are Australian, some of you would know, but if you are neither of those you probably have no idea.
It's also known as Guy Fawkes' Day. And if you know the story of Guy Fawkes' demise, you will see how a combined Halloween/Bonfire Night celebration is a good match! It certainly has some religious overtones due to the Gunpowder Plot's goals and during the 1800's the celebrations were a riot of violent class-based confrontations, but these days it is an enjoyable family event. More recently, V for Vendetta used the Guy Fawkes theme (a movie I love so much I almost named my daughter Evey after the main character).
As a child, we attended Bonfire Night. I remember fireworks, sausages and a scarecrow (Guy Fawkes) on top of an enormous bonfire. I didn't really understand the context of the effigy at the time, but as I made a marzipan and chocolate bonfire with Guy Fawkes on top for the Halloween, I found myself struggling to explain the tradition to my son without sounding crazy!!
"Hey mum, we are gonna burn that Fawkes guy because he is a bad man".
"Uhmmm….yes. No. Burning bad people is not a good thing to do. We are going to burn this one as a silly game because it's not a real man."
"But why?"
"Would you like to lick the beaters?"
Uhmm, yeah.
So, back to the party. The dress-ups are usually very imaginative. If you come to the party together, your dress-ups need to be a set (imagine the challenge when you are a family of four attending this party!!). Hiring a costume is a no no. Dressing up as a generic vampire or witch is a no no. Telling other people what you are dressing up as before the party is a no no. I know I'm making this party sound like it's full of Halloween snobbery, but really, it is the only time of year we dress up so we go all out!
Some people attending the party: Paulie Bleaker and Juno (funnily, within 5 minutes, 2 couples arrived in the EXACT SAME dress-ups), Ramona Flowers (our host), Monkey Magic gang (Tripitaka was kept traditional and played by a girl….a sweet little 17 month old), The Wizard of Oz companions (our family), Wolverine, Babydoll (from Sucker Punch) and Tetsuo (from Akira)
The next day I was already thinking about what next year's costumes would be…..

Despite Origin's less-than-stellar reputation amongst gamers, you've got to give EA credit for attempting to entice new members into its fold. Origin has a decent library, and every now and then they offer a game – often a classic title – for free as a show of good faith.
The latest such offering is Theme Hospital. For those not in the know, the game is one of many in a varied line of management simulation titles created by defunct developer Bullfrog in the '90s. It requires efficiency and micromanagement, it has a lot of twisted humour and it's considered a requisite on any retro gamer's résumé.
To obtain it, make sure you have the Origin client installed, then head on over to this page. It's only available for a limited time (curiously left unspecified), so get it while you can.
Old-time players may be interested in using the CorsixTH Engine. It features a lot of bug-fixes and gameplay tweaks and offers some fresh new challenges. Graphics are untouched though, so don't expect it to be an HD upgrade or anything.

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol which is derived from a fat source. It does not behave like a 'real alcohol' like ethanol and is not drying to the skin. Fatty alcohols are derived from coconut oil. Cetyl alcohol is made by heating coconut oil with a strong base like Sodium hydroxide (Lye). This process is the same process used to make soap (saponification). The differences between cetyl, stearyl and cetostearyl alcohol Cetyl and Stearyl alcohol are very little. Stearyl alcohol is a slightly longer version of cetyl alcohol having two additional carbons (Cetyl has 16 carbons while Stearyl has 18). Cetostearyl alcohol is simply a combination of cetyl and stearyl alcohol.
Cetyl alcohol, also known as 1-hexadecanol and palmityl alcohol, is a solid organic compound and a member of the alcohol class of compounds. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. It belongs to the group of fatty alcohols.
Cosmetic Uses: Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as a surfactant in shampoos, or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in the manufacture of skin creams and lotions.
It is a very effective thickener that helps form extremely stable emulsions in water-in-oil (full moisturizer) and oil-in-water (oil-free lotion) preparations.
May be used in conjunction with emulsifying wax.

Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments (SALE) - 2008 progress report
Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments (SALE)
2008 Progress Report
The SCAR Scientific Research Program (SRP) on Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments (SALE) made significant advances on several fronts in 2008. SALE promotes, facilitates and champions international cooperation to better understand subglacial aquatic environments in Antarctica. In addition, SALE promotes and advances all aspects of environmental stewardship in research and exploration of these unique settings. SALE is a recognized IPY program under the auspices of the SALE-UNified International Team for Exploration and Discovery (SALE-UNITED) program. The SALE website contains details on all facets of the Program (http://scarsale.tamu.edu/). SALE produces an email digest mailing that circulates weekly highlights of subglacial lake research and related topics to more than 150 scientists world-wide.
SALE facilitates partnerships and cooperation. Members of SALE are funded through their national programmes to conduct the science of SALE. SALE funding from SCAR allows for the convening of a yearly meeting. As such, the achievements of SALE are produced by a cohort of national efforts. Knowledge of subglacial aquatic environments has reached a level where major proposals are now being submitted for funding by individual national programs beyond remote surveys. These proposed research projects, if funded, will sample subglacial systems in compliance with current environmental protocols. Data obtained from these projects will provide the basis for future research and discovery. The following highlights two recent proposals (one funded and one pending) and updates that status of drilling activities at Vostok Station:
1. Subglacial Lake Ellsworth: In Dec 2008, UK-NERC awarded funding for the direct access, measurement and sampling of Subglacial Lake Ellsworth. This

"Homeless" DU hockey team picked third in its final season in the WCHA; Air Force top pick in AHA
Because of next Tuesday's presidential debate at Magness Arena, DU has evacuated its Murray Armstrong Hockey Complex (locker room, lounge, etc.) and is practicing at Joy Burns Arena on the Pioneers' campus and using the Avalanche facility at Family Sports Center in Centennial.
The Secret Service owns Magness Arena right now, and will continue to do so until after the Pioneers' Oct. 6 exhibition game against British Columbia at the Pepsi Center.
Meanwhile, the rebuilding Pioneers were picked to finish third by the media in the final year of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association as we know it.
DU must fill HUGE holes at forward because of the early departures of Drew Shore (Panthers), Jason Zucker (Wild) and Beau Bennett (Penguins) but are still thought of highly because of fabulous goaltending. Junior Sam Brittain and sophomore Juho (Jussi) Olkinuora are two of four goalies to receive preseason all-WCHA votes, with Brittain obtaining 7.5 and Olkinuora three.
Not surprisingly, the Air Force Falcons are again considered the class of Atlantic Hockey.
The polls:
1. Minnesota (24 first place votes) … 11.92 poll average
2. North Dakota (1) … 10.76
3. Denver … 9.92

I had mentioned to some friends that I got him to drink from the bottle a couple of times along the way around the 2-month period which went pretty smoothly. But suddenly at around 3 months, he seemed to just decide that he didn't like it. I started to blame myself saying I should have used the bottle more regularly with him. But the child health nurse said it probably would have made little difference – sometimes babies just decide at some point they don't like something even if they were okay with it all along before.
Part of me felt pleased to know that little Nate was so loyal to me as his source of food and comfort. But the urgency to get him used to the bottle became more pressing as I was soon returning to work part-time on a flexi-hour basis and needed to pop into the office for meetings a couple of hours a week. So began the parent versus baby battle of bottle.
We tried all sorts of tricks, holding him in nursing position (he hated that), sitting in his rocker, sitting in our lap… but all the time he just kept fighting the bottle – turning his head away, pushing the nipple out with his tongue, and just wailing at the top of his lungs, letting the milk just dribble everywhere. We would then do all we can to soothe him – hubby was especially good at the funny faces that would immediately turn the wails into smiles… but then when he tries to smile or laugh, the milk would just dribble down the side of his mouth even more. We wasted a lot of milk during these sessions… I felt so sayang watching my liquid gold which I worked hard to pump out spilling everywhere.
I almost felt like giving up. But hubs was a real champion with his 'never say die' attitude. This was one battle baby was NOT going to win. Finally after numerous sessions we made some progress forward. Either Nathan got the hang of it or we hit the right technique or both together… we succeeded in getting some milk into his little tummy via the bottle although it took ages to get down barely an ounce.
But today was a tremendous success, although the milk always has to be the PRECISE correct temperature and the little prince must be held in a particular position… in the end, SUCCESS!
Battle of the Bottle: winner – PARENTS!

As Christians we too lose faith…rather misplace it. It is human and very flesh to misplace it. The problem is, we don't want to speak to that truth! Ohhhh nooooo, Christians can't lose faith! That is a sacrilege! The truth is, there are people in the Bible who lost faith. David had been anointed and chosen by GOD and still had issues with faith! Stop thinking that your flesh is above it and let us STOP teaching those on their Christ walk that it is wrong! We all go through moments in our lives that I like to refer to as "our own hells".
As long as we are breathing we will be tempted, tested, tried, and detested! We all hurt, cry, wonder why, and feel as though our prayers fall on GOD's deaf ear. The thing is, GOD doesn't have a deaf ear! Every single thing that we go through is to make us better, stronger, better able to witness to others! Please know that your faith is not lost, just a little misplaced. We cannot linger in our sorrow. Sorrow is not fertile soil for joy. We must pull and push through this tug of war that life is. It isn't easy, but it is very necessary.

When you are pregnant and right after the baby is born, everyone and their brother is giving you advice or telling you how your life is about to change. The best advice that Moo and I received however, came to us via our internist. He said:
Remember, she came to live with you, not the other way around.
I think of this advice on a daily basis. I think people put way too much emphasis on their children and I don't think it does the kids any good. Now, I am doing the stay at home mom thing but beside being good for everyone involved, it's the result of a financial decision too.
If you live for your children, what will you do in 18-20 years? Can you go cold turkey? Can you let them go?

For today's baking I decided to try a recipe I haven't done before for Italian chocolate and nut biscotti. These contain no butter so have less than 75 calories per biscotti. I have added an additional dark chocolate twist to this which will result in a slightly less sweet biscuit. If you prefer the more traditional style biscotti drop the cocoa from the recipe below. This should make about 15-20 biscuits that will keep for up to 4 weeks in an airtight container.
125g sifted plain flour
25g cocoa powder
75g golden caster sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
1 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
25g hazelnuts, almonds or pecans
25g plain chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 200C (gas mark 6)
Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl and mix.
Make a well in the bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Use a folk to form a sticky dough. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead into a ball. Roll into a 25cm (10in) log shape.
Put onto a non stick baking sheet, flatten the top slightly then bake for 20-25 minutes until a cracked crust has formed.
Lower the oven temp to 150C (gas mark 2). Gently transfer the biscotti log onto a chopping board and slice diagonally at 1cm intervals.
Arrange the slices on the baking tray and put back in the oven for 15 minutes or until dough is dry. Cool completely before dunking and enjoying!

Private lives of public women: Photos of sex workers (minus the sex) in South Korea
Sealing Cheng, Sexualities January/February 2013 vol. 16 no. 1-2 30-42
We mostly learn about women in prostitution through representation by non-sex-workers: activists, policy-makers, journalists, and academics. What comes through are often hypersexualized and essentialized images of sex workers as either victims or agents. This dichotomy not only essentializes their lives but also undermines women as partners for engagement.
Against this background, what could be learned from photographs taken by women in prostitution of their everyday lives? How do they supplement or challenge existing discourses of prostitution? What do the photographers and viewers get out of such an endeavor? And finally, what do the quotidian aspects of life have to do with research on sex work and sexuality in general?
These are some of the questions this essay raises through the author's experience of organizing an exhibition of photographs taken by women in a South Korean red-light district in 2009. The project took place at a time when these women's lives were undergoing dramatic change at the intersection of neoliberal development and anti-trafficking projects, materialized in the demolition of the red-light district and increasing criminalization of prostitution in South Korea. Between October 2009 and April 2010, 40 of these photographs went on a traveling exhibition "Our Lives, Our Space: Views of Women in a Red-Light District" on the east coast of the USA. This article discusses some of the impact that the exhibition has had on its viewers and the photographers. It concludes by suggesting how a study of prostitution "minus the sex" could point to new avenues of sexuality studies.

Baring Inequality: Revisiting the Legalization Debate Through the Lens of Strippers' Rights
Alemzadeh, Sheerine, Baring Inequality: Revisiting the Legalization Debate Through the Lens of Strippers' Rights(February 8, 2013). Michigan Journal of Gender & Law, Vol. 19, p. 339, 2013. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2213979
This paper uses the strip club as a fresh site from which to examine the feminist legal debate over the legalization of prostitution. In tracking doctrinal and social trends ofstrip clubs as a long legalized commercial sex industry, I will interrogate the argument that legalization of prostitution will lead to greater regulation, and in turn, increased protection for people in the commercial sex trade.
This paper will demonstrate that in the context of stripping, legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of "employment" providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers' vulnerability to employer abuses.
In using strip clubs as a case study, this article cautions advocates for the legalization of prostitution in the feminist legal community against presupposing that legalization ofprostitution will produce regulations that improve working conditions for those involved in the commercial sex trade. Rather, such regulations would have to be preceded by a radical shift in social understandings about the worth of women and the contingencies that lead women to work in the commercial sex industry.
Regulating sex work in the EU: prostitute women and the new spaces of exclusion
Scoular, Jane, Hubbard, Phil and Matthews, Roger, Regulating Sex Work in the EU: Prostitute Women and theNew Spaces of Exclusion (2008). Gender, Place & Culture, Vol. 15, No. 2, pp. 137-152, 2008. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1709328
Contemporary prostitution policy within the European Union has coalesced around the view that femaleprostitution is rarely voluntary, and often a consequence of sex trafficking. Responding, different nation-states have, however, adopted antithetical legal positions based on prohibition (Sweden), abolition (UK) or legalisation (Netherlands). Despite the apparently sharp differences between these positions, in this article we argue that there is now a shared preoccupation with repressing spaces of street prostitution. Noting the forms of exploitation that nonetheless adhere to many spaces of off-street work, we conclude that the state and law may intervene in sex work markets with the intention of tackling gendered injustice, but are perpetuating geographies of exception and abandonment.
This paper is the outcome of the research project:

Loose Women or Lost Women? The Re-emergence of the Myth of White Slavery in Contemporary Discourses of Trafficking in Women
Doezema, Hoe (2000): Loose Women or Lost Women? The Re-emergence of the Myth of White Slavery in Contemporary Discourses of Trafficking in Women, in: Gender Issues, Volume 18, Number 1, pp. 23-50(28).
This article compares current concerns about "trafficking in women" with turn of the century discourses about "white slavery." It traces the emergence of narratives on "white slavery" and their re-emergence in the moral panics and boundary crises of contemporary discourses on "trafficking in women." Drawing on historical analysis and contemporary representations of sex worker migration, the paper argues that the narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the "trafficking in women" discourse are a modern version of the myth of "white slavery." These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women's autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant "Other" as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of "trafficking in women"/"white slavery" is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of "loose women." Through the denial of migrant sex workers' agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights.

Here's how I make them.
Ham And Cheese Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls
Equipment needed
- 24 oz mashed potatoes (I used 1 tray Simply Potatoes mashed potatoes)
- 6 oz deli ham, sliced thick at deli, then diced
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, cubed
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup Italian panko bread crumbs
- vegetable oil for frying
Pour some oil into the Copper Chef pot. It needs to be a little taller then the potato balls you make.
Turn the stovetop to high to heat the oil.
Place a scoop of potatoes in your hand. Flatten it, rest the ham and cheese in the center. Fold up the edges then roll to smooth all seams. Continue until all of the potatoes have been used.
Create an assembly line with the prep bowls, one for flour, one for egg and one for panko.
Place each potato ball into the flour, then the egg, then the panko.
Using tongs, place potato balls into the Copper Chef until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes each.
When removing, place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Use the tongs to remove the potato balls if you don't have the basket in the pot.
Serve immediately as is or with favorite sauce.

State of the Game gives us insight to new content
After a series of server crashes, concurrent maintenance sessions, currency exploits, and all the other demons that come with a new MMO release, or in this case Open Beta, Neverwinter is offering its players a carrot at the end of the stick.
In a recent "State of the Game," written by Neverwinter's Lead Producer, Andy Velasquez, we find a detailed overview of everything that's been going on in the world of the developers
Anyone currently playing Neverwinter will be nothing short of excited to hear some of the things that the team has been forging for the world we adventure in. Some of the mouth watering morsels include new companions, mounts, zones, mechanics, and Paragon Paths. Companions and mounts don't add too much to the content of the game, but seeing them release new ones so soon into the beta is very exciting, not to mention that this isn't the first time they've added new mounts since the Open Beta started.
The Paragon Paths and zones however, should be huge additions to the game. It is unclear if the zones are for max level players, or what kind of content they will contain, but new zones are always a good thing. Paragon Paths are something much needed in Neverwinter as it stands, due to the fact that many players feel locked into a specific version of their class, all the while knowing that there will be other "specializations" coming soon. Personally, I can find it very frustrating to learn a "spec" of a class, only to change it once more become available, so it is enlightening to see that these major features of the class system are on their way.
The article also explains, in a very vague way, that we will be getting a new class when this content patch is launched. Velasquez specifically writes "I can't share the details about the new class just yet, but as a hint, it's going to be a "ranged" one." After equipping my speculation cap, I can't help but feel certain we are going to get a "ranger" or "archer/hunter" archetype class. There was very loud, clear, and specific demand for the class type after the Open Beta went live, when players realized that this classic character type was not available. While that is pure speculation, one cannot help but feel that there's no other direction they could go with a "ranged" class choice other than Ranger at this particular time.
Finally, the big news, "Right now, we're putting the final touches on some new end game content: Gauntlgrym. It will be our first raid-sized, competitive PvP/PvE experience, and our current goal is to release it to OBT within a few weeks."
There has been talk around the web that the PvP aspect of this will be a 20v20 battleground, but this has yet to be confirmed by the developers. One curious aspect of this quote is the insinuation that the Gauntlgrym PvE will be competitive in some way. Technically, it could be referring to things like leader boards that keep track of how many bosses are down, or how fast the instance is cleared, however, it is fun to consider some actual competitive PvE content, where players compete to achieve PvE style goals. That's enough guessing for me though, so throw own your thinking caps and take to the forums with curiosity, and consider what might be coming to your neighborhood Neverwinter MMO.

PLYMOUTH – Amanda Luzetsky said Monday she believes her brother, Scott Luzetsky, was leaving Bonnie's Bar when gunfire erupted just before 2 a.m. Sunday.
Her brother made it outside, where he was fatally shot trying to escape. Another victim, Stephen Hollman, was found critically injured on the bar's floor with a gunshot wound to his head.
State police at Wyoming said the alleged gunman, William Allabaugh, 25, chased after another patron, Mark Ktytor, who removed his own weapon from a holster and fired, striking Allabaugh twice in the abdomen. He told investigators he fired four shots at Allabaugh.
Ktytor, 35, of Plymouth, has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, state police said. He is not expected to be charged.
"My brother was a harmless soul," Amanda Luzetsky said. "He was just an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire on his way home."
Scene of chaos
A criminal complaint filed against Allabaugh charging him in the deadly shooting describes a scene of chaos inside and outside Bonnie's Bar on East Main Street.
Bar patrons told investigators that Allabaugh, of 430 E. Main St., Plymouth, arrived at the tavern with his brother, Jared Allabaugh, and Kevin Farrell on Saturday night.
Sometime around 8 p.m., a patron complained about William Allabaugh making racial slurs. A bartender advised Allabaugh to stop or he would be thrown out.
Several hours later, patrons again complained about Allabaugh carrying a gun.
The bar manager, Bob Wallace, asked Allabaugh if he had a gun.
Allabaugh became upset, and yelled he did not have any weapons.
Seconds later, the bartender allegedly observed Allabaugh raising his arm and heard a "pop" before seeing Hollman fall to the floor.
Allabaugh ran outside and patrons heard multiple shots, the complaint says.
Ktytor told investigators he arrived at the bar with his girlfriend and a friend at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Ktytor was talking to Wallace when he heard a "pop" and patrons yelling someone had been shot.
Ktytor went outside as Wallace was saying, "There's the shooter," pointing at Allabaugh standing in the middle of East Main Street, the complaint says.
Allabaugh allegedly fired more rounds forcing Ktytor and others to take cover behind parked vehicles. Allabaugh began walking back to the bar as Ktytor and Wallace walked away hiding behind cars along the street.
Ktytor told investigators he removed his gun and fired four rounds when Allabaugh allegedly aimed the gun at him, according to the complaint.
Police found a bloody Allabaugh lying face up in a parking lot near the bar.
An autopsy Monday by forensic pathologist Dr. Gary Ross revealed Luzetsky, 39, died from multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.
Hollman, 29, of East Main Street, Plymouth, remained in critical condition Monday at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. Allabaugh is also listed in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley.
Sister returned Monday
Amanda Luzetsky returned to Bonnie's Bar on Monday writing several memorial messages on the sidewalk next to the tavern.
"He wasn't involved in any of the violence or the shooting," Amanda Luzetsky said. "He was trying to leave when the trouble started and he got caught up in the mix."
State police charged Allabaugh, who was recently discharged from the U.S. Air Force, with criminal homicide and criminal attempt to commit homicide. He underwent surgery Monday and is expected to be arraigned on the charges at a later date.
"I hope he survives and he rots in a cell for the rest of his life knowing what he did to our family," Amanda Luzetsky said. "My brother was walking home, he was a harmless soul."
Two women who were smoking cigarettes on the front porch of Ktytor's Vine Street home and refused to identify themselves said neither they nor Ktytor would comment for this story.
State police said they found a .380-caliber pistol Allabaugh allegedly used in the shooting. The gun was loaded with hollow point bullets, the complaint says.

Eye on Boise: Opposing Idaho education reform views heard by joint committee
Sun., Oct. 6, 2013
BOISE – A joint legislative committee tasked with looking at whether Idaho should keep three controversial – and temporary – teacher contract laws that lawmakers enacted this year got mixed messages when it met last week.
The Idaho Education Association requested that two of the three laws be allowed to expire: SB 1040a, allowing teachers' pay and contract days to be reduced from one year to the next at a school district's option, and SB 1147a, limiting contracts between school districts and teachers unions to one year only. They asked for some modifications to the third bill, HB 261, which governs teacher layoffs.
In contrast, the Idaho School Boards Association and the Idaho School Administrators Association requested that the "sunset," or expiration clause, be removed from all three bills, making them permanent. All the laws re-enact some provisions from the voter-repealed Students Come First reform laws, which rolled back teacher contract rights.
Paul Stark, general counsel for the IEA, said SB 1040a has been "abused," and a dozen Pocatello teachers have seen their contract days cut without the requirements of the law even being followed. "We don't believe that that's how we should treat teachers," he told the lawmakers. "Let us work on this, and we can find a better solution that fits everybody's needs."
But Anne Ritter, chair of the Meridian School Board and ISBA president, asked the lawmakers to drop the sunsets from all three bills, and also re-enact another controversial Students Come First provision allowing school districts to unilaterally impose contract terms if they haven't reached contract agreements with teachers by a mid-June deadline. She said her district, the state's largest, still hasn't reached an agreement with its teachers and is facing a financial crunch that has forced teacher layoffs and large cuts in the number of school days.
"Districts have all made difficult decisions during these challenging financial times," she told the Legislature's K-12 Educational System Interim Committee. "We need the Legislature to revisit the contract laws to make it possible for school boards to plan appropriately and balance their budgets. … The financial condition of school districts around the state is really at risk."
Senate Education Chairman John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, said he's concerned that Idaho school districts' financial situation, and an increasing reliance on short-term supplemental tax levies, has made it difficult to evaluate data on how well the three temporary laws are working. "I don't think that that's a good environment to use to set policy," he said. Goedde suggested considering another one-year extension to allow more examination of the three laws' effects.
The joint legislative committee meets again in November and may meet in December as well; it's due to report back to lawmakers, who convene their session in January.
New reforms pricey
State school Superintendent Tom Luna has not only endorsed "every one" of the 20 recommendations of an education stakeholders task force appointed by Gov. Butch Otter, he's built his budget request for public schools for next year to match them, including a request for a 5.9 percent, $77 million increase in state general funds. "Taken together, they will fundamentally transform our education system in Idaho for the better," Luna said. "They're all important."
Luna said his budget reflects the first year of phasing the changes in over five to six years; similar increases likely would be needed each year.
Meanwhile, the Legislature's joint budget committee heard a presentation on the fiscal impacts of the reform proposals. "If the recommendations were implemented today, it's a range of $346 million to $406 million," legislative budget analyst Paul Headlee told the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee at its interim meeting in Pocatello. That would mean an increase in Idaho's public school budget of between 26.5 and 31.1 percent, Headlee calculated.
Remembering Cenarrusa
More than 600 people filled St. John's Cathedral in downtown Boise on Friday to remember former longtime Idaho Secretary of State Pete Cenarrusa, who died last Sunday at the age of 95. In a rare honor, Cenarrusa's closed casket lay in state in the Capitol rotunda on Thursday. He was Idaho's longest-serving elected official and, prior to becoming secretary of state, he served nine terms in the Idaho House including three as speaker. He was a prominent Idaho sheep rancher as well as a Basque-American leader known around the world.

Today let's focus on teaching kids a Bible miracle from the book of Acts. God miraculously prophesies through Paul of safety for all from a coming shipwreck. (Acts 27:1-42)
Paul is accused by the Jewish leaders of wrong. In a Roman court Paul has appealed his case to Caesar and as a result is being taken under armed guard by ship to Rome. Along the way when they were battered by a terrible storm and all hope is lost, Paul gives one and then another prophecy of shipwreck and safety for all aboard.
Ask the children?
What was the second warning that Paul gave?
"No one had eaten for a long time. Finally, Paul called the crew together and said, 'Men, you should have listened to me in the first place and not left Crete. You would have avoided all this damage and loss. 22 But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down.'" (Acts 27:21, 22)
Who told Paul this prophecy?
"'For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, 24 and he said, 'Don't be afraid, Paul, for you will surely stand trial before Caesar! What's more, God in his goodness has granted safety to everyone sailing with you.''" (Acts 27:23, 24)
Did the prophecy come true?
"Then he (the captain) ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land. 44 The others held on to planks or debris from the broken ship.[g] So everyone escaped safely to shore." (Acts 27:43, 44)
When God says something is going to happen we can trust Him. Even if that means that all 276 on board will be saved, even those who can't swim.
Ask your kids if there are any promises of God are hard for them to trust? For example, "I will never lead or forsake you", "Go will supply all your needs". Ask them what is the next thing they need to do to trust God? Pray for their faith to step out and trust God.
Feel free to share your own stories below in the comments section.
If you like what you read about ways to teach children the Bible, check out the children's book, Hooked on the Book, on this website. It is great for parents and kids because it provides the Big Story of God's miraculous plan for His children in all 66 books in the Bible. CHECK OUT A FREE SAMPLE OF CHAPTER ONE BELOW.

So I have been a bad blogger and fallen off the face of the earth for a while, in part just because of the holidays, but also because I just don't seem to manage my time well enough to allow myself to sit down and with myself, to just be and to collect my thoughts, let alone to sit down and write. Which is something that I really want to start to work on, as I need to try and carve out time to do just that, instead of incessantly distracting myself from the time I get up until the time that I go to bed. I think that this is something that I want to try to focus on doing this year (I know that it is pretty late to be coming up with a New Years resolution, but when it comes to that thing who says you have to be on time)
My personal blog, that provides a uniquely North West view on the world around me, so sit back and enjoy.

"What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child."
~George Bernard Shaw
7 Tips to Prepare Students for Writing During Test TakingTwo years ago, I went into one of our WriteSteps schools to proctor in a 4th grade classroom that was taking the Michigan state assessment. During the writing portion, the students had thirty minutes to compare and contrast pollution on land vs. pollution in the ocean. Although this prompt was different than anything we had done in the past, I felt confident that the students would still do well with all of the writing we had done that year. The teachers and I had worked hard at training the kids to always plan their writing before they wrote. We saw this helped create more focused and organized pieces of writing.
What I saw next was shocking! Out of a class of 28 kids, I saw about 4 kids plan their writing! What happened?!? Did our teaching go out the window because students were under time constraints? Or, was it because they hadn't internalized the need to plan their writing?
These seven tips will be helpful for preparing your students to stay focused and on task while writing.
- Teach students what kinds of plans go with what kinds of writing. For example, we wouldn't want students to use a beginning, middle, and end plan when they are asked to compare and contrast.
- If you use a graphic organizer worksheet, teach students how to quickly recreate it.
- If there's a difficult word in the prompt, teach them to replace it with a word that they think is similar.
- When students encounter an unknown name in a passage (e.g., Rodriquez) have them replace it with any name that they know (e.g., Robert).
- Tell your students to relax. Their brain needs to be in a relaxed state to do its best work. Encourage them to do their BEST and not to give up!
- Make sure your students know it is ok to ask questions when they don't understand the directions.
- Not all kids are developmentally ready to write for 30-40 minutes. Start out the beginning of the year with short intervals of timed, yet specific, prompted assignments. Slowly increase the time to build stamina.
eWriteSteps EngagersDon't forget! For a limited time, eWriteSteps Engagers™ are available to 2nd and 5th grade teachers with an active eWriteSteps subscription at the special introductory rate of $40 per teacher. The second semester lessons (Units 3a-6) will be available for use through June 30, 2015.

Authors: Frank Dodd Tony Smith Jr
Clusters of Palladium atoms (also clusters of atoms of Nickel and similar elements) have two basic structures: Icosahedral and Cuboctahedral 1 - Icosahedon <-> Cuboctahedron Jitterbug Transformation. 2 - Palladium clusters with absorbed Deuterium (PdDx) have two states: Icosahedral with Tetrahedral absorption sites Cuboctahedral with Octahedral absorption sites. 3 - Tetrahedral Symmetric Condensation (TSC) in PdDx produces Fusion. 4 - Icosahedra TSC Fusion Triggers Jitterbug to Cuboctahedra. 5 - Cuboctahedra Jitterbug back to Icosahedra and reload TSC sites. 6 - Repeat the Cycle. Version 2 adds a mechanical analogy with M1911 type semiauto Colt 10 mm Delta Elite. Version 3 adds Ni and H to the title and reorganizes to add details about cluster structure for TSC fusion. Version 4 adds a proposal for experimental test using 1.5 nm Pd clusters such as have been synthesized by Sandia/UNM. Version 5 revises (and hopefully clarifies) the graphic description of TSC Jitterbug fusion cyclic process. Version 6 adds revised TSC 8Be* decay model by Takahashi and experimental Zeolite results by Parchamazad. Version 7 adds Table of Contents and details of use of Zeolite in TSC-JItterbug Fusion of Deuterium-Loaded Palladium NanoClusters. Version 8 adds design for TSC-Jitterbug Zeolite Pd-D fusion heat engine. Version 9 discusses using D2O Heavy Water for heat extraction from Zeolite and using D2O steam to get useful energy. Version 10 (vA) adds material including conversion of fusion energy to zeolite capacitor electrical energy. Version 11 (vB) adds experimental details for fusion energy utilization by Zeolite-D20 steam and by Zeolite-Templated Carbon capacitor. Version 12 (vC) adds overview of energy sources and Schwinger Coherent Electron process for transferring fusion energy to Zeolite heat. Version 13 (vD) adds a 5-page introductory preface / preamble to the paper. Version 14 (vE) describes an alternative TSC geometry.

Image by Fiver13 via FlickrOne summer, about three years ago, my wife's brother, his wife, and a couple they knew with their son and daughter, came up to stay at our place for their vacation. The parents, all in their 60's, and the kids, son 30's, daughter 20's, were all fundies. On the first full day, the women tuned into one of those Christian TV stations, and for the next two hours watched Nazi rally type praise and sermons, during which time I thought I'd lose my mind, even though I couldn't make out the words, only the emotional intensity that came out loud like that of an attacking mob coming at you. They were totally involved.
