About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather

A major spring snowstorm dumped heavy snow in excess of six inches over a wide swath of the Upper Midwest this week, adding to a snowpack that is already near or in excess of record levels over Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This is bad news for residents in flood-prone areas of the Upper Midwest, as the new storm added more than half an inch of melted rainfall equivalent to the record wet snowpack. When all that snow melts in April, we can expect major and possibly record flooding for North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and the Upper Mississippi River north of St. Louis, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Their March Spring Flood Outlook released last week warned: A large swath of the North Central United States is at risk of moderate to major flooding this spring. Heavy late summer and autumn precipitation have left soils saturated and streams running high before the winter freeze-up. National Weather Service models show this year's snowpack contains a water content ranked among the highest of the last 60 years, which is similar to the past two years. This threat area extends from northeastern Montana through Wisconsin and along the Mississippi River south to St. Louis. For the third consecutive year, forecasters predict major flooding along the Red River of the North, which forms the state line between eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. Other areas of the Midwest primed for major flooding include Devils Lake in North Dakota, the Milk River in Northeastern Montana, the James and Big Sioux Rivers in South Dakota, the Minnesota River, and the Mississippi River from its headwaters near St. Paul, Minnesota, downstream to St. Louis.

Figure 2. NOAA's latest significant river flood outlook shows that spring flooding is already occurring over South Dakota and on the Mississippi River near its junction with the Ohio River, but is not yet widespread across the Upper Midwest.
There is a huge amount of snow on the ground in North Dakota along the tributaries of the Red River, thanks to fall precipitation that was 150% - 300% of normal, and winter snows that have dumped up to 400% more precipitation than usual. If one were to melt this snow, it would amount to 4 - 6 inches of rain. If heavy rains occur at the same time that the snow melts, there is the potential for the greatest flood in history to affect the cities of Fargo and Grand Forks, the largest and third largest cities in North Dakota. NWS is giving a 35% chance that Fargo will see its greatest flood in history this spring, up from the 20% chance they gave in their February spring flood outlook.
The situation is similar in Minnesota, which has received about double its normal precipitation over the past 3 to 4 months, resulting in the 5th snowiest winter on record in Minneapolis. Snow depths are in excess of 20 inches over wide swaths of of the state, and this snow has a very high water content equivalent to 4 - 6 inches of rain. NWS is giving a 95% chance that the Mississippi River at St. Paul will exceed major flood stage this spring.
In South Dakota, heavy snows this winter have also left a snowpack with a high water content over the northeast corner of the state. The NWS is predicting a 25% chance that the the James River at Huron, SD will reach its highest flood height in history, and a 50% chance for the Big Sioux River at Brookings, SD.

When will all this flooding occur?
The latest guidance from the GFS model predicts winter-like conditions will persist over the Upper Midwest for the next week, with no major storms for the region through early next week. Late next week, there is the potential for a snowstorm that could bring an additional 0.5 - 1" of melted equivalent snow, though this is very uncertain at this point. The first chance of a major thaw will not occur until Sunday, April 3. This will give some time for the current pulse of flood waters generated during last week's warm spell over South Dakota and southern Minnesota to move downstream, and makes the peak of this year's spring flood unlikely to occur until at least the second week of April. Looking back at past great floods in the Upper Midwest, the record 2009 Red River flood peaked on March 28 in Fargo. The great 1997 Red River flood that devastated Grand Forks, causing $3.5 billion in damage, crested on April 18. St. Paul's greatest flood in history crested on April 19, 1965. I expect this year's peak flood will most likely arrive during the 3rd week of April.
Mostly offshore winds expected over Japan for the next week
Radioactive plumes emitted from Japan's troubled Fukushima nuclear power plant will mostly head eastwards out to sea over the next week, thanks to high pressure that will dominate Japan's weather. Latest trajectory plots using NOAA's HYSPLIT model do not show air from the Fukushima plant heading towards Tokyo over the next four days.

Once upon a time, a journalist never gave up a confidential source. When someone comes forward, anonymously, to inform the public, it's better to risk time incarcerated than give them up. This ethical responsibility was also a practical and professional necessity. If you promise anonymity, you're obliged to deliver. If you can't keep your word, who will trust you in the future? Sources go elsewhere and stories pass you by.
It started as a street protest against President Bashar al-Assad. Ordinary citizens took out their smart phones to record the demonstrations that quickly spread. Four years and 220,000 dead later, the Syrian civil war is still raging, although the numbers of 'citizen' and professional journalists on hand to document it is woefully small.
The U.K. prides itself on its commitment to free expression, but the latest revelations of surveillance of journalists and calls by Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, to ban secure messaging belie the country's drift toward a more restrictive environment for the press. The revelations further underscore the threat surveillance by Western democracies poses to journalism, a threat that prompted the Committee to Protect Journalists' Right to Report in the Digital Age campaign.

New York, May 13, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for an immediate investigation into the death of French freelance photojournalist Camille Lepage, 26, in the Central African Republic. In a statement issued today, the French government said that French troops had discovered Lepage's body in a vehicle driven by fighters of the anti-Balaka Christian militia, according to news reports.
Statements | UK
New York, February 19, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists is concerned by today's ruling by the U.K. High Court that said David Miranda was lawfully detained under antiterrorism legislation at Heathrow airport last summer.
Each year, members of the Global Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations gather to discuss threats to journalists around the world and plan action. Usually, we focus on frontline countries where journalists face life and death issues. But as our annual meeting took place in London this year, we couldn't help but notice the emerging threats to press freedom in the United Kingdom, which range from pressure applied to the Guardian in response to its reporting on the Snowden leaks to the royal charter that seeks to impose ethical standards on the print media in the aftermath of the phone hacking scandal.

Captain's ReportPremier 235 SunSation FS with Yamaha 115-hpBy Captain John B. WenzPontoon boats seem to be evolving quickly, far beyond their traditional image. Premier Marine has been in the business of building pontoon boats since 1992, so they know this to be true. Built to LastThe folks at Premier build their boats to last. Experience has taught them an awful lot about boat building. Details like solid aluminum keels and multi-chamber tubes maintain the boat's strength and integrity. Transoms are reinforced to prevent racking, and they heat-shrink all of the electrical connections to keep them dry. If you're serious about pleasing your customers, those are the things you need to do. The 235 SunSation features 16" crossmember spacing and 25" tubes. One area that Premier takes pride in is the construction of their seats. The individual units are rotocast, which means that they're built using no wood. Granted, there are an increasing number of mid-priced pontoon boats being built this way. However, Premier's hinges make this product so special. They're a welded aluminum device which functions better than anything I've seen so far. The seat top lifts and then tilts down, out of the way, so it stays open while you stow or retrieve your gear. Gone are the days of little jury-rigged hooks and lanyards that you find around so many boats. They also include lots of little details which are both useful and attractive like stainless steel cleats, polished corner castings and flush-mounted docking lights. This stuff not only looks good, but it's functional and it adds value. And the list of standard features doesn't stop there. Carpeting, courtesy lights, an 11 foot bimini top and color-matched canvas are all part of the factory equipment list. Premier's 235 SunSation FS LTD is 23' on deck and 23'4" overall. She's 8'6" wide and carries a party of 14 for a capacity of 3025 pounds. The 3-tube version can safely handle an outboard of up to 225 horsepower. The LayoutThere are two distinct seating areas on this boat, fore and aft. The forward seating area features two luxurious reclining swivel chairs, along with bench seating port and starboard with storage underneath. The starboard side is a chaise lounge. Gates are forward and on the port side. The fiberglass console is to starboard, and it also includes access under for storage. Standard controls and instrumentation include a speedometer, tachometer, voltage indicator, horn, and a trim gauge. Navigation lights, horn, and other accessories are operated by a functional switch panel. The steering wheel tilts for comfort, and a bucket helm chair will make sure the skipper is comfortable all day. If you'd like to bring some music along, go right ahead- a Sony CD stereo with four speakers will make sure that the right music will always be on. Just aft and opposite the steering console is an L-shaped settee. Like the forward seats, it offers plenty of storage underneath. A removable table is situated so that your guests can sit around it, on the aft settee. A trashcan holder is under the lounger, and a little door gives you convenient access. Back aft you'll find a sundeck. It lifts to reveal a changing room- popular with those who want to swim, but don't want to sit around in a swimsuit all day. To starboard is a gate leading to a permanent swim ladder. And the 235 has a towing arch over the motor, so tell the kids to bring along the water toys. Our TestFor our test, the 235 we used was powered by Yamaha's 115 horsepower four-stroke outboard. This compact, lightweight in-line 4-cylinder design is quiet, clean-burning and fuel efficient – with power to spare. Double overhead cam 16 valve configuration and electronic multipoint fuel injection offer the latest in outboard motor engineering. The Composite Intake Manifold is tuned to increase air flow resulting in a more powerful hole shot and increased acceleration. The air silencer box reduces intake air noise while the surge tank reduces air turbulence for smoother operation. And the Yamaha 115, like all their four-strokes, is protected by their Ultimate Corrosion Protection System which includes the ACP-221 Paint Process providing a 5-layer barrier against corrosion. The Yamaha 115 put us up on plane in 4.5 seconds and we reached 25 miles an hour in 10.7 seconds. Our top speed was 27.4 mph at 5400 rpm. We determined our best fuel economy to be at 3000 rpm where we observed a fuel burn rate of 5.8 gallons per hour netting 3.56 miles per gallon. The Yamaha 115 ran like a Swiss watch. It was smooth with a pleasant sound, and it accelerated smoothly and quickly from bottom to top. The 235 SunSation from Premier is a classy touring boat that will help your family create memories this season and for years to come.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Premier 235 SunSation FS (2008-) is 26.7 mph (43 kph), burning 8.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 30.66 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Premier 235 SunSation FS (2008-) is 11.9 mph (19.2 kph), and the boat gets 5.02 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.13 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 149 miles (239.79 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 115-hp Yamaha Four-Stroke.

there is a prophet among us, by the name of sashako, who forsee the lack of credit in Greek, I could be wrong though. But only god knows why I was a helper in his project in the year of 2004. OPS. I couldn't be more than wrong. wishful thinking and seeing. IT'S GEEK NOT GREEK, PROOF: NOBODY IS AS BLIND AS I CAN BE, SOMETIMES.
it seems to me, there are no good man nor bad man by nature's lofty design but man and woman. More to it, in my copy of the bible, 'to sin' simply is 'to be born as a man alone'. Does that algorithm translates to the understanding that twins are always good from the very beginning? Where did I get the impression that 'Thomas' in Yiddish means twin.
'Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.' So Einstein once wrote to explain his personal creed:"A religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt of the significance of those super-personal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation.' His was not a life of prayer and worship. Yet he lived by a deep faith - a faith not capable of rational foundation - that there are laws of Nature to be discovered. His lifelong pursuit was to discover them. His realism and his optimism are illuminated by his remark: 'Subtle is the Lord, but malicious He is not.' ('Raffiniert ist der Herrgott aber boshaft ist er nicht.') When asked by a colleague what he meant by that, he replied: 'Nature hides her secret because of her loftiness, but not by means of ruse' (Die Natur verbirgt ihr Geheimnis durch die Erhabenheit ihres Wesens, aber nicht durch List.')
Here's a casethat US court stripped a Chinese national, Dow's research leader the title 'Scientist' and labeled him 'a trade-secret theft' instead.
"According to court documents, from January 2003 until February 2008, Huang was
employed as a research scientist at Dow, a leading international agricultural company based in Indianapolis that provides agrochemical and biotechnology products. In 2005, Huang became a research leader for Dow in strain development related to unique, proprietary organic insecticides marketed worldwide. As a Dow employee, Huang signed an agreement that outlined his obligations in handling confidential information, including trade secrets, and prohibited him from disclosing any confidential information without Dow's consent. Dow employed several layers of security to preserve and maintain confidentiality and to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of its trade
Huang admitted that during his employment at Dow, he misappropriated several Dow trade secrets. According to plea documents, from 2007 to 2010, Huang transferred and delivered the stolen Dow trade secrets to individuals in Germany and the PRC. With the assistance of these individuals, Huang used the stolen materials to conduct unauthorized research with the intent to benefit foreign universities that were instrumentalities of the PRC government. Huang also admitted that he pursued steps to develop and produce the misappropriated Dow trade
secrets in the PRC, including identifying manufacturing facilities in the PRC that would allow him to compete directly with Dow in the established organic pesticide market.
According to court documents, after Huang left Dow, he was hired in March 2008 by Cargill, an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial
products and services. Huang worked as a biotechnologist for Cargill until July 2009 and signed a confidentiality agreement promising never to disclose any trade secrets or other confidential information of Cargill. Huang admitted that during his employment with Cargill, he stole one of
the company's trade secrets – a key component in the manufacture of a new food product, which he later disseminated to another person, specifically a student at Hunan Normal University in the PRC.
According to the plea agreement, the aggregated loss from Huang's criminal conduct exceeds $7 million but is less than $20 million.
"Mr. Huang used his insider status at two of America's largest agricultural companies to steal valuable trade secrets for use in his native China," said Assistant Attorney General Breuer.
"We cannot allow U.S. citizens or foreign nationals to hand sensitive business information over to competitors in other countries, and we will continue our vigorous criminal enforcement of economic espionage and trade secret laws. These crimes present a danger to the U.S. economy
and jeopardize our nation's leadership in innovation."
"In the expectation or hope of grace, we do evil on an installment basis; we are always aware of the necessary compensatory forms of remorse and penance. If we believe in grace, we also believe in immortality; in short, we believe. we sin not from despair but in the expectation of a saving grace." How about that? I haven't thought of it, that way. Maybe, it's about time to sin a little again? I wonder...

Vint. Handwoven Guatemalan Huipil from Quiche
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $100.00
- Item Not Available
Vintage Handwoven Guatemala Mayan Huipil from Chichicastenagno. It is is a important highland market town in the region known as Quiche. The indigenous population of the area are known as Quiche where they have their own distinct language.
The weaving was done by the women on a back strap loom. The colorful flowers, symbols the figures all have a special meaning that is unique to there region and culture.
A Huipil is a hand loomed, woven and embroidered blouse or top that the indigenous women wear. It made from usually 3 long pieces put together. ( the pieces are limited by the size of the back strap looms they use. That is why they need to use more that one piece). A hole is made for the head. Frequently there head hole is decorated with the sign of the Sun or other. The edges are finished by some type trim. Sometimes it is sewn up on the sides with room left for the armhole but more traditionally it is left open on the sides like a poncho but then worn wrapped around and tucked into their skirts held in place by long hand woven belts.This one has a bit more fading than some of the other I have posted. However the pictures make the fading look more severe than it really is.
The art of the traditional weaving is past down from mother to daughter. Each region and village has their own distinct design and colors. Unfortunately more of the traditional weaving and other cultural ways are being influence and replaced by modernization of the U.S.A. & Europe.
This Huipil is about 25 to 30 to years old. It does show some very modest signs of wear. However the fabric is study and the weave is strong. It is brilliant & detailed. I purchased this and many other similar huipils from the family that made them.
I encourage you to invest in piece of Mayan culture and history while such treasures are available. Many people will buy these to hang on a wall rather than to wear. Here are some measurements: Width is 32.5" Length on the front side is 29" the bottom is uneven. The neck hole is 5 1/2" . . But there is a 3" slit with a snap that opens up the neck hole. The arm hole is 4 1/4" but that can be expanded by undoing the seam.
You will find my selection not only interesting & fun to browse through but very affordable too.
Please email me if you have any questions. I am always eager to assist .

It's Showtime Lyon: Tyrone Spong vs igor Mihaljevic Preview
- Written by Rian Scalia
In the co-main event of the evening, one of the stars of kickboxing, Tyrone Spong, takes on Croatian Igor Mihaljevic.
Spong is coming off of a loss to Alistair Overeem in the K-1 World Grand Prix last year while Mihaljevic is coming off of a dreadful loss to Catalin Morosanu. Spong has slowly moved up to heavyweight over the years until 2010 where he put on size fast. Spong says he has taken the time off between now and his last fight to put on size the right way and adjust his body to the change. Mihaljevic is a journeyman who mostly fights in Croatia.
I'll just start by saying this. Mihaljevic has no chance. If you've seen his fight against Catalin Morosanu, you can see why. (I don't recommend watching it, it's just dreadful to watch.) He's sloppy, has bad defense and reacts really badly to getting hit in the face. It's basically a squash match for Spong, who looks to get his 2011 started on a winning note.
Don't expect this to last very long. Mihaljevic is a pudgy Croatian journeyman who is being brought in to get smashed. There's not much else to say other than Spong will finish him in the first round.

Darkness to Light's annual Circle of Light Gala is one of the most anticipated black tie events of the season, and this year's Parisian-themed fete did not disappoint. Flickering luminaries lined the blockaded street leading to the Memminger Auditorium, where partygoers mingled under tents over craft cocktails.
Partygoers stepped out in their chicest formalwear, furs, boas, and tailored coats, but the fall chill made for a short cocktail hour. Theatre Marvelosa frolicked and pranced about the guests as they made their way inside, adding a colorful touch to the party.
After checking their coats, those who attended made their way to the main dining room. The auditorium had been decked out with chandeliers, elaborate table settings, and a plethora of candles, and a freestanding stage was positioned in the center of the room.
Guests found their seats as a performer with Aloft Circus Acts took to the stage, performing elaborate acrobatic feats on a chair suspended from the ceiling. Amidst the oohs and aahs, one guest was overheard to mutter, "I think she works out..." The entertainment was not over, however, and soon another performer treated the audience to some amazing feats executed from fabric suspended from the ceiling.
Then partygoers were officially welcomed and treated to a delicious three-course meal from one of Charleston's finest chefs and live auction, after which Darkness to Light President Jolie Logan and Board Chair Suzanne Hardie presented champion figure skater Scott Hamilton with the 2012 Voice of Courage Award.
Then partygoers collected their coats and headed out into the brisk evening air, most of them eagerly heading for the official after party.
Circle of Light is the annual gala for Darkness to Light, an organization that works to end childhood sexual abuse through prevention, awareness, and education. Darkness to Light (D2L) asserts that if sexual abuse can be prevented, it can be stopped, and the non-profit works to help adults recognize the signs of abuse and react responsibly.

You're right. He was on that night. His accuracy has improved and his pocket presence. I'm not aware of a better WR tandem than Jarvis Landry & OBJ. We will see. I have my reasons to be positive. It's a tough schedule.

in case anybody's forgot? The Cardinal today is a Triple-A Crimson Tide franchise, Luck was the franchise, now Shaw's gotta do it emulating 'Bama with defense and running game.
What else is Stanford "an example of everything that is good about college football?" Condi as provost back in the day - yeah, I might agree with that. Jai Miller might not, though - he signed with Stanford out of high school in Alabama, 10 years later, after playing major league baseball, he's a 28-year-old walk-on free safety with the Crimson Tide. That's something good about college football, as is the ex-Marine linebacker playing this year at Middle Tennessee State.
I agree that both stories you mentioned are fantastic examples of the good that comes from college football. My point was merely that it is nice to see a school with high academic standards competing at the highest levels of college football...A feat many feel isn't possible anymore. I respect their recent success. But hey, if winning is all that matters knock your socks off just be careful what you wish for. I'd prefer that college football not resemble the NFL.
interesting that the above claims to have picked USC over UGA when UGA hadn't even offered.

Now the question is whether the rebuilt OL will be able to run the ball enough to set up the play-action game we have made a living from for several years now. There seems to be a pretty strong correlation between returning OL starts and successful seasons, and we don't have all that many coming back. We will see what happens.

Campus History
Originally established in 1996, Columbia College-Christian County first began as an extension of the Marshfield campus. It became an addition to the college's extended campuses in 2000 and today continues to serve civilian and military adult learners in Christian, Greene, Stone and Taney counties.
Columbia College-Springfield is part of the college's extended network of more than 35 Nationwide Campuses across the country, including 18 on military bases.
Degree programs at the extended campuses vary. However, no matter which degree you pursue or which campus you attend, degree programs meet the same accreditation standards as degree programs from the main campus in Columbia, MO, as well as meet requirements set by the respective state education departments.Columbia College was founded in 1851 in Columbia, MO, as Christian Female College, the first women's college west of the Mississippi River to be chartered by state legislature. In 1970, the college was renamed Columbia College when it opened its doors to men and women. In 1973, the college began educating adult learners. Today, the college serves nearly 25,000 students nationwide each year.

I went to the 10th annual Erlang conference on thursday and had a great time, as usual.
My favourite talk was about the Dialyzer (Discrepancy Analyzer). This program analyzes regular Erlang object-code to find discrepancies that suggest programming errors. The analysis seems very much like what CMUCL does: infer type information from the way variables are used, propagate it around, then warn about any contradictions. Very impressive that it runs on unmodified object code, appears to really find bugs, and has managed to consume a 1.1 million line Erlang program without exploding. These guys have done an exceptional job of designing their tool to actually appeal to working Erlang programmers. (So far it hasn't found as many bugs as I'd expected, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad.)
I also saw a really amazing demo of Virtutech's Simics product, which is only related to Erlang in that one of the HiPE guys has joined them. It's much like Bochs or QEMU but it emulates a wide range of machines: x86, AMD64, SunFire/sparc, Alpha, and so on. It has some extra-fancy features like the ability to run the machine in simulated time, so that when the kernel enters the idle-loop it "fast forwards" to the next event. Really amazing, but unfortunately it isn't free software and I gather it's priced only for large corporations.
And of course free beer at the post-conference ErLounge didn't go astray. Hurray for the Erlang companies who sponsored the event :-)
I'm currently implementing a protocol based on XML Schema and SOAP. As good as it was to spend five-odd years in blissful ignorance of XML, now I do wish that I'd started using it before XML-bashing became passé.

A court filing says charges have been dropped against Kevin Curtis who was accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker and Judge Sadie Holland. Breaking news updates below …
8:38 p.m.Members of the National Guard are currently crawling under and through culverts along Veterans Boulevard and into Canal Street in Tupelo searching for something. It's near Dutschke's neighborhood near home.
6:12 p.m.: By Patsy R. Brumfield/ NEMS Daily Journal – OXFORD – Kevin Curtis thanks his family, Jesus and his fans for their love and support as he faced federal prosecution this week accused of sending poison-laden letters to President Obama and others.
"It was divine intervention when this blue-eyed angel came to my cell," said the 45-year-old Elvis tribute artist looking at his attorney, Christi R. McCoy, at his side during a late-afternoon news conference.
About that time, federal prosecutors dismissed all charges against Curtis as they turned their attentions elsewhere to try to solve the crime.
Law enforcement agents, the FBI, hazardous materials investigators and others converged on the Tupelo home of J. Everett Dutschke by early afternoon with question for him about a long-running feud with Curtis.
Dutschke continued to insist that he had nothing to do with the letter scheme, which featured a brief message signed "I am KC and I approved this message," a signature way Kevin Curtis ended internet posts.
McCoy and co-counsel Hal Neilson expressed appreciation to prosecutors for their willingness to admit, after three days of court hearings and nearly a week of Curtis in custody, that they had the wrong man.
"I knew last Thursday when I met him that Kevin had not done this," McCoy told a crowd of reporters at the federal courthouse in Oxford.
No public comment has come yet from the U.S. Attorney's Office, which handled Curtis' prosecution.
Come back for more details or read Wednesday's Daily Journal.
5:26 p.m.: Lori Nail Basham, a local attorney who has represented Dutschke in previous criminal charges said that Dutschke is "cooperating fully" with the FBI as they conduct a search at his Tupelo residence.
Basham tells Daily Journal's Sarah Robinson she was "confused" as to how someone could mention Dutschke's name and "end up with the FBI" searching his residence. She confirmed that Dutschke and Curtis are acquaintances and said she believed they have been for 3 or 4 years.
She is unaware of whether or not the two have had any previous altercations.
Basham said she has not yet seen the search warrant, but hopes that it will shed more light on the investigation and the probable cause on which the search warrant was based.
5:15 p.m.: Laura Curtis, Kevin Curtis' former wife, tells Daily Journal reporter Sarah Robinson the family is "thrilled" that Kevin is being released. She said that she had not spoken with Kevin Curtis as of 4:45 p.m. Tuesday and she did not know any details about his release. His ex-wife did speak with him Monday evening and said that Kevin Curtis was completely unaware of the media coverage around his case and was surprised to hear that his case had made national news.
5:14 p.m. – : From the news conference in Oxford. More to come …
Kevin Curtis' attorney Christi R. McCoy just spoke in Oxford and said that all federal charges have been dropped against Curtis.
"This has been a long week with a lot of things happening,' McCoy said. "It has been long for us all but nothing to compare to what Kevin has been through."
McCoy said it was her understanding federal officials were searching J. Everett Dutschke's home in Tupelo. Federal officials have made no comment confirming or denying Dutschke's involvement in the case and no charges have been filed.
"I do want to say that (Kevin Curtis) was treated well by federal authorities nothing but professionalism," McCoy said. "They went where the evidence led and then they went were the true evidence was."
Kevin Curtis made a statement thanking his attorney, his family and supporters.
"I would like to thank all my friends and family for their love and support and most of all I would like to thank Jesus Christ," he said.
More soon.
4:59 p.m.: It appears Kevin Curtis will take part in the news conference. Updates from Patsy Brumfield after the news conference.
4:46 p.m.: All federal charges dropped against Kevin Curtis, his attorney Hal Neilson says. More soon.
4 p.m. From Patsy R. Brumfield in Oxford …
OXFORD – Kevin Curtis' attorney Christi R. McCoy said a few minutes ago that her client wants to attend a 5 p.m. news conference with her and counsel Hal Neilson, but she's advised against it.
"But who knows," she said in a drive-by interview with media in front of the Oxford federal courthouse about 3:50 p.m.
McCoy and Neilson are set to speak with reporters about the government's apparently failed case against Curtis, whom they arrested last Wednesday on charges he mailed poison-laden letters to President Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.
Throughout, Curtis maintained he did not do that, and FBI investigators failed to turn up any direct link between him and the letters.
Curtis, 45, of Corinth was released from custody late this morning and was taken to family members, who drove him away toward Lee County.
McCoy said she's unaware of any events unfolding in Tupelo surrounding the FBI investigation into J. Everett Dutschke but added that whoever framed her client "was diabolical."
Dutschke, a martial arts instructor who had difficulties with Curtis, insists he did not send the letters.
Come back for news from the 5 p.m. interviews.
3:30 p.m.: Everett Dutschke said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that the FBI was at his home Tuesday for a search related to the mailing of the poisoned letters to Obama, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker and a Mississippi judge. Dutschke said his house was also searched last week.
Dutschke has maintained his innocence and says he doesn't know anything about the ingredients for ricin. He said agents asked him questions about suspect Paul Kevin Curtis but also asked him if he would take a lie detector test and whether he had ever bought castor beans, which can be used to make the potent poison.
"I'm a patriotic American. I don't have any grudges against anybody. I did not send the letters," Dutschke said.
2 p.m.: Daily Journal's JB Clark reports several law enforcement units around the Dutschke home now. That includes the 47th Civil Support Team. That team is Mississippi's full time response team for emergencies or terrorist events that involve weapons of mass destruction or toxic industrial chemicals.
1:39 p.m.: At, 1:39 p.m. FBI search team moved in with Tupelo, Lee County and Capitol Police authorities at the J. Everett Dutschke home at Canal Street in Tupelo. About 10 law enforcement vehicles are in the area. Dutschke came out of his Tupelo home a few minutes before and told reporters the FBI is at his house and has been questioning him. Dutschke once again said he has nothing to do with the ricin-letter plot.
1:15 p.m.: J. Everett Dutschke came out of his Tupelo home a few minutes ago and told reporters the FBI is at his house and has been questioning him. Dutschke once again said he has nothing to do with the ricin-letter plot.
Kevin Curtis' attorney Christi McCoy suggested yesterday in court prosecutors take a look at Dutschke, with whom she claims in 2010 Curtis had a heated email correspondence, so much so that Curtis' parents warned Dutschke to back off.
12:05 p.m. OXFORD — Federal marshals have confirmed that Kevin Curtis has been released from custody. More as this story continues to develop.
Conditions of his release were not immediately available, but a late-afternoon news conference with Curtis' attorneys and federal authorities may provide answers.
His lawyer Christi McCoy, who has been pushing for the charges to be dropped, said in a text message to The Associated Press Tuesday that she could only confirm that her client has been released.
"I can tell you he is with his family," McCoy said
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Paul Bresson told The Associated Press, "This remains an ongoing investigation."

OXFORD – Kevin Curtis' case will be delayed and additional news will be presented later today, his defense counsel announced to reporters in the Oxford courtroom.
Questions remain about whether his case will go to a grand jury or if bail will be set. Both sides will speak to reporters at 5 p.m. CDT about the case.
Today is the third for a federal court hearing to consider what to do with Curtis' case and whether he gets bail. He's been held in the Lafayette County Detention Center since his arrest Wednesday.
Curtis, 45 of Corinth was arrested by federal authorities on accusations he mailed threatening letters laden with the deadly poison ricin to President Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.
This hearing began Friday, presided over by Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander.
Defense counsel Christi R. McCoy of Oxford on Monday continued to press FBI investigator Brandon Grant to tell the court what direct links and direct evidence he had to show Curtis was responsible.
Grant said he did not have any, although he expected evidence from a far-flung investigation into the allegations.
Over the weekend, investigators scoured Curtis' home, his vehicle and his ex-wife's home and reportedly failed to discover any incriminating evidence, McCoy said late Sunday.
Prosecutors for the hearing are assistant U.S. attorneys Chad Lamar and John Marshall Alexander.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A parallel brain is more expressive then an unparallel one
Assume that we have deduced a state S and there are two possible choices S1 and S2 to go from there how to zip them together?
One idea is to assume S1 outputs z1 and S2 outputs z2 and just combine these outputs e.g.
(zip-1 (z1 z2) (subshell S1 z1) (subshell S2 z2))Here we create z1 and z2 on an outer stack, then run S1, it produces a value into z1 that are deduced on an inner stack. Then it will keep z1 and revert back to the initial state but store a continuation that are reinstated at back-tracking. This will be able to mimic generator behavior through back tracking. It is safe code because the interface is clear and has a potential performance bottleneck in that we need to reinstall the state of S1 and S2 at back tracking.
The other idea is to consider the stack as a DAG and use two branches of the stack describing the deduction S1 and then deduction S2. First S1 is done, then S2. and the state will be done on-top of each other but the action will be stored in branches e.g. a storage of a variable pointer and a value. But at backtracking, then we will just first backtrack S2 and by doing this not touch the other stack branch. Then we will backtrack S1 and not do the undos on the S2 stack branch. If there are a variable touched in both S1 and S2, with backtracking touching it only in S1 or only in S1 unpredictable things can happen. So this method is faster but can produce strange bugs.
Again parallel generation of sequences can be simulated using this trick.
In all, zip patterns call's for a more delicate stack engine then the common stack implementation one need to manage a forest of DAG's that should support continuation style of separation and storage. linked structures are attractive here due to it's simplicity in these situations, on the other hand the speed of allocations from a stack represented by an array is also attractive. Maybe a combination.

A SOUL stood on the bank of the River of Life, and it had to cross it.
And first it found a reed, and it tried to cross with it. But the reed ran into its hand at the top in fine splinters and bent when it leaned on it. Then the soul found a staff and it tried to cross with it: and the sharp end ran into the ground, and the soul tried to draw it, but it could not; and it stood in the water by its staff.
Then it got out and found a broad thick log, and it said, "With this I will cross." And it went down into the water. But the log was too buoyant, it floated, and almost drew the soul from its feet.
And the soul stood on the bank and cried: "Oh, River of Life! How am I to cross; I have tried all rods and they have failed me!"
And the River answered, "Cross me alone."
And the soul went down into the water, and it crossed.

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to
her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a
conversation with your fellow passenger."
... The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total
stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
" Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no GOD, or no
Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.
"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a
question first.
A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass.
Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but
a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks
about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified
to discuss why there is no GOD, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after
death, when you don't know ****?"
And then she went back to reading her book.

Binge drinkers are most likely found on college campuses, where many students consider a big game or fraternity party an excuse to drink all weekend.
Besides having trouble with school and relationships, teenagers taking drugs may display emotional extremes with irritability, anger and changes in sleep patterns.
Too many young people are participating in a dangerous practice called binge drinking, or drinking to intoxication. It's defined as having 5 or more drinks in a row for men; for women, it's 4-plus drinks in a row.
A common ingredient in many cough and cold remedies has become a popular substance to abuse by teenagers searching for a cheap, easy high.
Talking with your child about drugs, alcohol and tobacco is tough. But you can't afford to ignore these topics. Children learn about these substances and feel pressure to use them at a very young age.
Many young people take prescription drugs because they believe they are safer than street drugs, but they can be just as dangerous if taken improperly.

With cost of machine needles going up, I wondered if anyone had used the needles made by Organ? They seem to be less expensive than the Schmetz that I have been using. Any other brands you like, please list.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
With cost of machine needles going up, I wondered if anyone had used the needles made by Organ? They seem to be less expensive than the Schmetz that I have been using. Any other brands you like, please list.
Lizzy in La.
I use only Organ needles in my embroidery machine. I use Singer and Schmetz in my regular machines usually only because some came with them or I need a specific one that I can run to Hancocks and pick up.
Organ is my favorite brand.
I have used them and I am happy with them. The only problem is that they are not as readily available as Schmetz.
I only purchase my Schmetz when on sale or I can use coupons.
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." -Confucius
My two straight stitch only machines came with organ needles and recommend using them. You can get deals on them and don't seem pricey to me. Sewingpartsonline.com have them and sewclassic and All brands, I'm sure there are others. I use Schmetz sometimes, because I have them. Considering everything else needles are very cheap. I use size 14 or 16 for machine quilting. I use a new needle when I start quilting, if the previous needle is still sharp and no burs I use it for piecing.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I use the Organ Titanium topstitch coated needles. They stay sharp for months and the topstitch has less thread breaking.
Got fabric?
It's all I use. I buy them buy the bulk on ebay and they are very reasonable.
Ditto - Organ is the ONLY needle I use. I have a friend who runs a quilting supply business from her home, so I buy from her in bulk.
Peckish aka Peggi
There is a yahoo group that buys in bulk and the group orders when there is enough orders to fill from the members. I am a member and no problems at all in my orders. It's called Needlecoop.
Got fabric?
You might also want to check with your sewing machine shop. I have a Bernina and while they suggest using the Organ needles for embroidery, I asked about regular sewing. I was told if you were straight stitching it was fine but something about them is just a little different (can't really remmber but was thinking a little longer) and that it wasn't suggested to use them in a stitch that goes back and forth - like a zig zag. I just remember something in the back of my brain so have shied away from them except when embroidering. If you can afford it get the Schmetz from Joanns when they have their 50% off notions - I got lucky and stocked up when they had that and then an additional 20% off. Am set for at least the next year

Mike Hesson is safe as coach for now, but the test capitulations in South Africa could have far-reaching consequences for the make-up of New Zealand's future tours.
Hesson's men were crushed by innings defeats in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth by the Proteas, the No1-ranked test team, and while New Zealand Cricket's director of cricket John Buchanan said a change of coach wasn't the answer, he admitted the team's reputation had been harmed and they could play fewer tests in future.
The International Cricket Council's Future Tours programme has outlined touring activity for the major test-playing nations until 2020. New Zealand are to play two or three tests for all tours but it would be no surprise to see them lose a test as a result of the embarrassing recent run of results.
Few countries will see a test against New Zealand - ranked 8th ahead of only Bangladesh - as a major drawcard.
"Certainly, performances such as this and what we have experienced in recent times are not going to enhance our reputation as a test-playing nation, that's for sure," Buchanan said.
"Any major changes to be made to [the Future Tours programme] requires a vote at the ICC and I would suspect that's not going to change too much but I would suspect our capacity to play longer test series or longer tours, in other words more games, is somewhat impacted."
Of Hesson, who is contracted until the end of the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Buchanan said: "He's a young coach, he's learning, and one of the things that I think we do need to establish as quickly as we can is to put some stability in and around the Black Caps, whether that be on the field, or off the field with support staff.
"We can't just keep changing things because we don't get the results we want."

DRC: UN Humanitarian Chief calls on the international community not to forget the Congolese people
9 August, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
The UN Humanitarian Chief, Valerie Amos, called today for more support for Congolese communities affected by conflict and displacement, at the end of a four-day mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda.
In Eastern DRC's North Kivu Province, nearly a quarter of a million people have been displaced by conflict since April this year. Another 57,000 people have fled to neighbouring Rwanda and Uganda since the beginning of 2012.
"While it is clear that there are competing humanitarian demands around the world, we must not forget the people of the DRC," said Ms. Amos, who is UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs. "They are in the midst of one of the most complex humanitarian crises in the world and deserve our continued support."
Yesterday, Ms. Amos visited displaced communities in Kibati and Kanyaruchinya, outside Goma, the capital of North Kivu. She saw for herself how years of violence have affected hundreds of thousands of people in the region. In recent weeks, some 30,000 people have fled clashes between the Congolese army (FARDC) and armed groups, and have sought refuge in the area.
"I spoke with families who have had to leave their homes without any belongings, and are now forced to live in terrible conditions. Some of them, including children and the elderly, have been forced to sleep out in the rain," she said. "For many, this is not the first time that they have been displaced. All of them hope to see an end to the fighting. They want to return home."
Ongoing fighting in North Kivu has led to mass displacement of people to neighbouring regions and countries as well. In Rwanda, the Humanitarian Chief visited Kigeme camp, which hosts about 11,500 Congolese refugees. Humanitarian organizations report that some 32,000 people have fled to South Kivu in the past three months alone.
"The events of the past months have marked a setback in our collective effort to break the cycle of violence. The humanitarian community continues to deliver assistance where security permits, but there are thousands of people in need beyond our reach due to ongoing insecurity and poor roads," said Ms. Amos.
Insufficient funding, insecurity and poor infrastructure are severely hampering relief efforts in North Kivu. Although the humanitarian crisis is the most acute in the Kivus, other parts of the vast Central African country continue to face major challenges including food insecurity, malnutrition and a cholera epidemic.
The humanitarian community has appealed for US$791 million to carry out urgent assistance across the country this year. So far, less than 50 per cent of the required funding has been received.
"I would like to appeal to our international partners on behalf of the displaced and host communities I saw," said Ms. Amos. "The DRC needs continued attention. The UN and its partners are committed to helping those affected. This requires continued financial support."

2008 PC version of GTA IV uses SecuROM
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 11:33 AM MDT | By Neil
Last week we posted an image of the back of the PC version of GTA IV's box which Rockstar had supplied to a retailer in the UK. One piece of text on the back of the box reads "Initial activation requires internet connection". The following day, we received an email from Rockstar asking us to remove it, with no reason cited. We reluctantly complied, yet if you visit Tesco's website you'll see that they are still displaying the image.
Today the company revealed that the game will use SecuROM Digital Rights Management software. More interestingly though, they also deployed a lengthy Q&A document which attempts to convert everyone to wonderful ways of this magical software. One little gem from the article:
"SecuROM offers a diverse toolset to publishers to help safeguard their IP and interests. Vocal 'board posters' seem to be most down on the SecuROM feature that limits the number of installations. But this SecuROM functionality is really nothing different than what iTunes has used for years now."The disc-based version of the game can be installed on an unlimited number of computers at a time, while buyers from services like Steam or Direct2Drive will only be able to install on a maxmium of 5 machines simultaneously. All versions of the game must be activated once per machine before play, and the company says that it has a contingency plan for users who don't have an internet connection - visit a website.
In addition to SecuROM, the game will also fill your drive with 16GB of game and other data including versions of Adobe Flash, Internet Explorer, DirectX, Games for Windows LIVE and the Microsoft .net framework.

Second year of President's Lecture Series begins Oct. 23
Posted October 21, 2002; 03:51 p.m.
year of President's Lecture Series begins Oct. 23 The lecture series started by President Shirley M. Tilghman last year to bring together faculty members from different disciplines will continue this year with three more lectures, the first of which takes place at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 23.
The President's Lecture Series grew out of meetings Tilghman had with faculty shortly after she was named president in 2001. She asked for suggestions for new programs, and faculty responded with the idea for a forum where they could come together and learn about the work other faculty members are doing in a variety of fields.
These lectures are planned for the 2002-03 academic year:
- On Wednesday, Oct. 23, Anthony Grafton, the Henry Putnam University Professor of History and chair of the Council of the Humanities, will speak on "Technica Curiosa: Technology and Magic in Early Modern Europe." He will discuss how scholars and philosophers began to take an interest in technology and will argue that a temporary union between magic and engineering, which took place in the 15th and 16th centuries, had much to do with this change - and with the rise of what came to be called the "new" or "mechanical philosophy" of the 17th century.
- On Wednesday, Dec. 11, Carol Armstrong, the Doris Stevens Professor in Women's Studies and professor of art and archaeology, will present a talk concerning Manet and Ce4zanne, the "heroics" of modernism and a feminist alternative to the canonical accounts of their art.
- On Wednesday, March 5, Vincent Poor, professor of electrical engineering, will address the recent revolution in wireless communications that has led to a host of applications involving "anytime, anywhere" connectivity for the communication of voice, text and other media. He will explore the social, political and economic issues that are emerging with the new technology as they did with broadcast radio and the Internet in the 20th century.
All lectures will begin at 4:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. The Oct. 23 address by Grafton will take place in 101 Friend Center; the locations of the other two will be announced.
The events will be Webcast live by WebMedia.

I have to say this was a horrible second season and extremley boring one at that. Only reason I finished watching it was so I could get it over with. I loved the first season and thought it was really good for an older anime. I feelt season 1 had more comedy in it and a great plot and well develop characters, while season 2 was just lacking in every way. The characters pretty much did the same thing over and over. There was no real plot to this at all, the little plot there was was so tiny and boring that it didn't make it worth watching. This was almost torture to watch, that's just how... See full review
This anime started out in a pretty confusing way with 2 brothers coming to live together with their 3 rd and oldest brother after beeing separated for 10 years they also hade a sister which you will find out about later on. Well anyway From here on things seems to be heading in a interesting way with these giant monster like creatures coming out peoples bodys. However as the anime drags on the story turns out to not really be that great and it lacks alot of action in it as there is almost none. I thought at first that maybe it was worth another shoot after dropping the anime after just a few episodes... See full review
If you like really nice art super powerfull Espers and an intruinging plot this is for you. Dont bother careing about that it's a so call spin off cuse I hated the original just watched a few episodes of it couldnt stand it. You could say that this is a stand alone anime and not a spin off you do not have to watch the 55+ episodes of the original to understand this anime in fact dont just watch this instead. This is about a world in which people with the power of ESP are seen as monsters but are still constantly beeing used by normal ppl none ESP users are known as normals. With out spoiling it for you... See full review
This was an incredible anime with alot of romance and action and mystery mixed in to one. This anime might not seem like anything at first but keep watching, because this was one of the most epic story's I have ever seen in an anime. It will keep you guessing untill the very end and the romance and magic mixed together in this way was truly amazing. I liked the art work and the way the story keeps suprising you. I hade read it's description many times before actually watching it and the way they describe the anime isn't really fair to how good it actually turned out to be it hits my top 10 anime for...

Jackie Lomax
Jackie Lomax was born in Wallasey on Merseyside in 1944 and grew up blessed with an earthy, soulful R&B voice, and great songwriting skills. He was a contemporary of The Beatles on the vibrant Liverpool scene of the early 1960s, first in Dee & the Dynamites, but principally as the distinctive face and voice of the R&B group, The Undertakers. Like The Beatles, The Undertakers cut their teeth in Hamburg, Germany, and in 1964, after signing to Pye Records, they scored a minor UK hit with 'Just A Little Bit'.
Jackie was once managed by Brian Epstein, and he originally signed to Apple as a songwriter. His sole album for the label, Is This What You Want?, was produced by George Harrison and contains all original material save for Jackie's powerhouse version of George's 'Sour Milk Sea'. Guest musicians include Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton. After Apple, Jackie joined the groups Heavy Jelly (one of three bands using that name) and Badger, as well as releasing solo albums on Warners and Capitol. Jackie lives in Ojai, California and continues to perform live and record.

Hey there.
I'm looking for a man with humor and geekiness. He knows who he is and what he wants, can articulate that, and isn't afraid to be silly. Life is too short to spend it living by other's rules or expectations, ya know? I'm not looking for someone to make me whole or rescue me rather, someone to complement me. I'm a whole person all by myself, but it would be nice to share that life with the right person.
At first pass, I'm a goofy geek. I'm also a kind yet passionate person, and tend to see the humor in everything. Don't mistake that for shallow water though I run very deep. I write, and am currently editing my first book. I love animals, especially my cats. I enjoy the outdoors, particularly Northern Arizona, and dream of moving to Flagstaff some day.
I also have a strong fondness for books, good films, coffee and dark chocolate, but not necessarily in that order. I am plus-sized, and have been so for most of my life. I worship at the altar of Trader Joe's, I try to buy locally, and love going to farmer's markets on a weekend morning. Have I mentioned I'm a morning person?
I'm a geek mom, and am raising my geek son in the ways of geekdom. He's 13 now, and so much fun. We enjoy attending local activities and various cons together. I'm a fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars, and absolutely adore Doctor Who.
