Murder suspect arrested in downtown Spokane
Suspect's girlfriend arrested for rendering criminal assistance
SPOKANE, Wash. - Louis Hanson, the suspect in the Dec. 30 killing of Aaron Cummings at a home on North Wall, was arrested Wednesday night at a downtown Spokane apartment.
Getting to the bottom of this murder was made a lot more difficult because the women who saw the killing inside the home lied to detectives about who was responsible.
Investigators say last Sunday night Hanson walked into a home and, with numerous witnesses present, allegedly executed a gang-related hit on Cummings. Hanson reportedly asked Cummings if he was a member of a particular gang; he replied he was and that's when detectives said that Hanson shot Cummings in the stomach.Murder suspect and girlfriend arrested
"We believe this shooting was gang motivated and that was the reason for the shooting," Spokane Police Sergeant Mark Griffiths with Major Crimes said.
When police showed up the witnesses lied to officers, blaming the shooting on Salvador Rivera-Romero, who was then publicly identified as the murder suspect.
"We look at him as a suspect and determined that he was not in the area. Maybe not even in the country at the time and a follow up investigation determined that they lied to us, actually knew who the suspect was but were afraid of him so intentionally misled us," Griffiths said.
The women eventually conceded the alleged shooter was actually Hanson.
When detectives located the address where they believed Hanson to be hiding out, they went to the residence and attempted to search the apartment looking for Hanson. A woman who lived in the apartment, Amanda Tudesque, 22, told detectives, when she was shown a photo of Hanson, that she recognized him but he was not in the apartment.
After talking with other residents in the apartment building, detectives determined Hanson was in Tudesque's apartment. When officers went back to her apartment, she claimed no one was inside but her and her children and tried to prevent them entering her apartment, shoving an officer, telling police Hanson could become a threat to her children, police said.
Hanson eventually came out of the apartment, refused to comply with detectives' commands and was eventually restrained and arrested for second degree murder for Cummings' death.
Additionally, Amanda Tudesque, who as it turns out is Hanson's girlfriend, was charged with first degree rendering criminal assistance for harboring and concealing Hanson and attempting to prevent police from arresting him.
"She more than just lied to us. She actually physically interfered and tried to help to escape as he left the apartment so she was taken into custody that night too and arrested for rendering criminal assistance," Griffiths said.

With the advanced search form for individuals, you have more possibilities to refine your search with various selection menus. At the same time you can structure your information in the search fields.
In the blue field you find the link to the advanced search for individuals.
Fill out the search form, but start with just a few pieces of information and instead add more pieces if you get too many hits. If you want, you can use the menus to the left to narrow the search by time period, type of source, or/and places. You can select as much/little as you feel necessary.
If you want to run a search for several persons at the same time, for instance a parent couple, you must click on Add search form for additional person before you start to fill in the various search fields.
When you search for two or more individuals simultaneously, it is important that the number of hits is below 2000 for each of them. You will see a warning until you have narrowed the hits below 2000 persons. As you see from the illustration below, a search for jens in the church records will give far too many hits. Unfortunately, we have not yet translated the warning, it says: Your query resulted in ..... hits. You must narrow the result to 2000 hits.
Once we have added more information, the warning disappears. We can then continue with the additional individual. We want to find the wife of Jens Laurits Arup, called Diderikke. Her name might be spelled very differently, so we only write did*. As you see below, the warning is there immediately.
If we add that we are looking for a female individual with given name starting with did, the number of hits is quickly reduced to accepted level. Notice that the box for Next person only is checked. This is useful when you know that you are looking for two individuals that will be next to each other in the lists, for instance groom and bride in wedding lists, father and mother in lists of baptism and confirmation. Notice that the male will be listed before the female. In the baptisms and confirmation lists, the order will usually be child, father and mother.
The result list shows the records where Jens Arup and the woman with a given name starting with did are listed toghether and she is directly below him in the transcribed source. The information in the result list are from the main person, the name you started to search for, in this case Jens Arup.
By clicking on the names in the result list, you can see additional information on the person and the event itself. Here we see the married couple Jens Lauritz Arup and Dideriche Cappelen in the baptism of their son Ulrich Friderich v. Cappelen.

A significant ice storm is in progress across southeast Texas, much of Louisiana, northern Mississippi, and southern Arkansas this morning, as the latest onslaught from the memorable winter of 2010 - 2011 continues. Houston, Texas recorded 1/10" - 1/4" inch of ice so far from the storm, resulting in a crippling of that city's transportation system. Numerous crashes have closed many area roads, and flights at local airports have been largely halted. Snowfalls of 1 - 3 inches will occur today along the northern edge of the ice storm region, in a swath from northeast Texas to western Kentucky. The storm will move into New England on Saturday, but will not bring heavy snow. The next chance for heavy snow occurs next Wednesday and Thursday, when the GFS model is predicting the formation of a winter storm capable of dropping a foot of snow in the Appalachians and inland areas of New England. However, it is too early to put much faith in this forecast.

Revisiting the Chicago blizzard
This week's blizzard in Chicago dropped 20.2" of snow on the city, Chicago's third-greatest snowstorm on record. But the tremendous winds that accompanied the blizzard--gusting to 61 mph at O'Hare Airport, and 70 mph at the Lakefront--made the storm Chicago's worst-ever blizzard as far as impacts on travel. Another remarkable feature of the storm were the intense thunderstorms that developed. According to an excellent write-up on the storm posted by the Chicago National Weather Service office, the Blizzard of 2011 had 63 lightning strikes, and several reports of hail. The most extraordinary hourly observation I've ever seen in a U.S. winter storm came at 9:51pm on February 1 at Chicago's Midway Field: A heavy thunderstorm with lightning, heavy snow, small hail or ice pellets, freezing fog, blowing snow, visibility 300 feet, a wind gust of 56 mph, and a temperature of 21°F. Welcome to the Midwest! Thanks go to meteorologist Steve Gregory for pointing this observation out to me.
Figure 2. Snow amounts from the February 1 - 3 blizzard of 2011 peaked at over 2 feet along the shore of Lake Michigan between Chicago and Milwaukee. Strong northeasterly winds pulled moist air off of the Lake in this region, allowing the "lake effect" to enhance the blizzard's snows in this region.

Tropical Cyclone Yasi the second most damaging storm in Australia's history
Tropical Cyclone Yasi has dissipated, but the damage totals from the storm make it Australia's second most expensive tropical cyclone of all-time, according to Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. The storm's $3.5 billion price tag is second only to Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin on Christmas Day 1974, doing $3.6 billion in damage (2011 dollars.) Yasi roared inland over Queensland, Australia at 12:30am local time on Thursday as a strengthening Category 4 storm with 155 mph winds and a 930 mb central pressure. The cyclone missed the most populous cities on the coast, Cairns and Townsville, but damaged up to 90% of the buildings in the small towns near where the eye passed--Tully, Mission Beach, and Cardwell. A storm surge of 5.4 meters (17.7 feet) was observed at Cardwell, and there was substantial surge damage at the coast. Fortunately, the storm surge hit near low tide, resulting in a storm tide--the height of the water above land--of about 4.5 meters, more than 2 meters below what would have occurred had Yasi hit at high tide. Yasi moved quickly enough across Queensland after landfall so that major flooding was limited to just three locations near the coast. Yasi's central pressure of 930 mb at landfall made the storm the most intense recorded in Queensland since at least 1918, and possibly since 1899. In 1918, there were two cyclones (at Mackay and Innisfail) with measured pressures in the upper 920s/low 930s, but it is quite plausible that the minimum central pressures were lower than that. The 1899 (Mahina/Bathurst Bay) cyclone had a measured pressure (ship near shore) of 914 mb.
Figure 3. The tide gauge at Carwell, Australia during passage of Tropical Cyclone Yasi recorded a 5.4 meter (17.7') storm surge (red line). Since the surge came near low tide, the storm tide--the height of the surge above mean water--was only 4.5 meters (blue line). The storm tide would have been more than 2 meters higher had Yasi hit at high tide, and the damage from coastal flooding would have been huge. The green line shows the expected water levels at Cardwell due to the tide. Image credit: Queensland government.

How to use Java applets in modern browsers
Finding out how to embed a Java applet in current major browsers is quite a task. Lots of pages still suggest using the
<applet> tag and describe how to use the
mayscript attribute to allow communication between Java and JavaScript. Other pages recommend using this mysterious
mayscript attribute even in
<embed> and
<object> tags. I think there is a lot of voodoo out there, attributes which sound important but are not necessary at all...
So I started studying this stuff by myself. My goal was embedding a Java applet on a page which must work in Internet Explorer 7+, Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. The applet must receive an applet parameter and must communicate with JavaScript in both directions.

The United States has long struggled with how to manage Iran's nuclear ambitions. Any U.S. military option in Iran is likely to be dynamic, depending on its objectives.
A military plan to disable Iran's hardened and dispersed nuclear facilities is likely to be a prolonged and arduous operation. This would not be a precision strike launched by a few airplanes in a flashing moment. An intervention to seriously degrade Iran's nuclear infrastructure would have to feature not just airpower but deployment of intelligence assets and Special Operations Forces. The initial series of strikes would likely be followed by more attacks, given the facilities and plants that escaped destruction in the first few rounds. In essence, for at least a week or so, the United States would be at war in a volatile region.
Ultimately, the success of a military strike would not be contingent on the sophistication of U.S. arms or the precision of U.S. weaponry. The most valuable asset would be intelligence. To say the least, an attack on Iran would not be a surprise to Iran's clerical leaders. For over a decade, U.S. and Israeli officials have insisted that all the options are on the table and have hinted at bombing campaigns to come. The Iranian leaders must have taken all these threats into account and engaged in activities to ensure the survival of the bulk of their nuclear installations, should the United States redeem its pledge that all options are on the table.

Earlier this year I came across a very interesting study on Dr Yoni Freedhoff's blog Weighty Matters. Yoni described a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health which suggests that the amount of commercial television (e.g. television with advertisements) that children watch before the age of 6 is associated with increased body weight 5 years down the road, even after adjustment for other important variables including physical activity, socio-economic status and mother's BMI. In contrast, watching non-commercial television (DVD's or TV programs without commercials) showed no association with body weight. The data was self-reported, but nonetheless these are pretty interesting findings, and suggest that television commercials are likely an important mechanism linking screen time with obesity risk....

Regular readers of Obesity Panacea will know that I am a huge fan of active transportation, which entails commuting via active means (e.g. walking, cycling, or taking public transit rather than driving). But when I talk with my friends about the many health and societal benefits of active commuting by bicycle, they almost always bring up the fact that they value their lives too much to risk cycling on busy city streets. This is obviously not a trivial concern – here in Ottawa there were three cycling deaths in a three day period in August, and another tragic death occurred earlier this week (although in at least 2 of those accidents, it may have been cyclist errors which resulted in the accidents)....

I recently came across a very interesting study published in Circulation in 2001. In it, authors Darren McGuire and colleagues perform the 30-year follow-up on a group of 5 men who had taken part in the Dallas Bed Rest and Training Study (DBRTS). The DBRTS took place in 1966, when all 5 men were healthy 20 year-olds. They were assessed extensively at 3 different time points: baseline, following 3 months of bed rest, and following 8 weeks of physical training. In 1996 these same 5 men were assessed for a fourth time, allowing the researchers to compare the influence of 3 weeks of bed rest and 30 years of aging on markers of fitness.... Read more »

By now, readers of Obesity Panacea have hopefully learned that excess weight is not directly predictive of health risk, and that excess fat mass is not in itself unhealthy. Recall that approximately 30% of individuals who are classified as obese by their body weight turn out to be metabolically healthy, and in fact seem not to get much metabolic benefit (or may even get worse) when they lose weight. Also consider that individuals who have NO fat tissue (e.g. lipodystrophy) have extremely elevated metabolic risk factors, meanwhile others who can apparently indefinitely grow more fat mass (multiple symmetric lipomatosis - think Michelin man) have metabolic profiles we'd all like to have.

Most people know that consuming too much fat, and especially saturated fat, is bad for your health. That's why there has been a concerted push for several decades to get people to reduce the amount of saturated fat that they consume, and to replace it with complex carbohydrates. Now unfortunately people often misinterpret that to mean that fat is evil, but carbs are ok. This is problematic since consuming too many simple carbs is also likely to increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease - exactly what we are trying to prevent in the first place. So this raises the important question - in order to minimize the risk of heart disease, is it better to reduce the intake of saturated fat, or the intake of simple carbs? An interesting new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examines this issue and while it doesn't provide a definitive answer, it suggests that refined carbs are pretty bad indeed....

Regular readers know that that Peter and I do a semi-regular podcast on obesity-related issues. This week, I have a discussion with psychology researcher (and fellow ScienceBlogger) Jason Goldman. For the uninitiated, self-report data refers to information that people provide themselves - questionnaires and interviews are very common examples. This is in contrast to direct measurement, which is exactly what it sounds like - researchers measuring your height and weight themselves, etc. The podcast was inspired by a recent conversation where I bemoaned a press release which failed to acknowledge the limitations of self-report data, which I felt could lead to misleading conclusions....

One of the most interesting things about exercise is that it results in important health improvements even in the absence of weight loss. For example, just a single session of exercise can result in improved insulin sensitivity, increased levels of HDL cholesterol (aka the "good" cholesterol) and reductions in plasma triglyceride levels - all tremendously important markers of disease risk. In addition to these metabolic changes, new research by our friend and former labmate Lance Davidson suggests once-again that exercise can also prevent the accumulation of abdominal fat, independent of changes in overall body fat percentage....

In June of last year, I discussed the results of a large epidemiological study in women that showed that women with larger breasts have an increased risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
As soon as Travis and I read this study, we knew we had to do a follow-up study of our own to see if this finding was simply spurious or if there was actually something to large breasts that indicated health risk - beyond that explained by obesity per se.
The project that Travis and I began over a year ago has culminated in both a hot-off-the-press publication in the journal Obesity, as well as my presentation at this year's Obesity Society meeting in Washington D.C.
In the study, we used body composition data acquired through MRI on about 100 premenopausal women to directly quantify breast size. By using MRI data we significantly improved the methodology used by the authors of the original study on breast size and diabetes risk, who relied on over 20 year recall of cup size as their key measure.
First, we sought to examine if breast tissue volume was associated with any cardiometabolic risk factors, such as glucose tolerance (a known antecedent to type 2 diabetes) and various blood lipids. Since the original authors found an association between cup size and diabetes risk, we expected to find an association between breast volume and cardiometabolic risk factors.
What did we actually find? Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...... Read more »

Last week ParticipACTION and the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) released recommendations for updated Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. The previous guidelines were released between 1998 and 2002, and although they were based on the best research available at the time, from what I understand there simply wasn't a tremendous amount of evidence to draw on in some situations. Since then there have been a number of advances in physical activity research, allowing for the creation of updated, and increasingly evidence-based guidelines. ... Read more »

Way too much, according to a recent study by Johnson and colleagues, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Personally, I love salty foods. While I have never been too fond of sweet things (chocolate, candy, etc.), just a few years ago I could have easily gone through a bag of chips or pretzels in one sitting. Just writing about that crunchy/salty goodness makes my mouth water.
However, since hypertension runs in my family, I have recently made a concerted effort to limit my sodium intake - largely by cutting out my intake or salty snacks. This process was made that much easier by living with a partner who is doing PhD research on the effects of salt intake on blood pressure, among other things. She got on my butt to limit my salt intake, while I got on hers to limit her intake of sugar - as diabetes runs in her family.
Regarding dietary sodium limits, it is suggested that adults stay under 1500 mg per day, and should never exceed the upper limit of 2300 mg/day.

Given that I have put myself out of commission due to a musculoskeletal injury I acquired over the weekend, I thought a discussion of joint injuries and such would be most appropriate in my Robaxocet induced state.Just last week Travis discussed the issue of injuries associated with exercise among obese individuals. In that post, based on recent evidence, Travis concluded:"...in overweight and obese individuals, exercise (in the form of walking) has little or no association with injury or illness."
However, there still remains the issue of various musculo-skeletal problems which appear to happen at a high rate among those individuals carrying excess weight, independent of their activity level.Knee and hip osteoarthritis, for example, are quite commonly listed as a frequent medical consequence of obesity. A new study from our neck of the woods (Ontario, Canada) sought to determine the effect of weight status on the age at which individuals elected to have knee or hip replacement surgery.

I love simple physical activity interventions. We all know that physical activity is a good thing, and yet it can be really difficult for people to increase their physical activity levels, especially over the long-term. So it's exciting whenever any intervention is shown to be effective, but even more so when it is simple. And an intervention that is both simple and inexpensive is pure gold. I wrote about one such intervention a few weeks ago, when I described a British study that showed that simply painting lines on a school-yard playground resulted in a dramatic increase in physical activity levels during recess. The intervention was simple, it was inexpensive and extremely easy to implement, and yet it had an impressive positive impact. What more could you ask for?
Earlier this week I came across a similarly simple intervention published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, this time focused on adults. In this new study, Megan Grimstvedt and colleagues placed signs near the elevators of 4 university buildings in San Antonio. The sign said simply "Walking up stairs burns almost 5 times as many calories as riding an elevator" and included an arrow directing people to the nearest staircase, as well as a cartoon of the school mascot walking up a flight of stairs. Two of the buildings had very visible staircases, while two of the buildings had staircases that were relatively hidden. The buildings with hidden staircases had an additional sign on the staircase door to tell people that the stairs were accessible (e.g. no fire alarm would sound). The researchers then positioned themselves in "inconspicuous" locations for 2 hours per day, Monday-Thursday, and tallied the number of people using the staircase and elevator.

Just before moving to our new home here on Scienceblogs, I asked our readers for ideas on what types of content they would like to see here on Obesity Panacea. One topic that came up several times was the issue of injuries. I'm not sure why we haven't discussed injuries in the past (aside from the fact that it's not the focus of our research), but it was a great idea, and I've come across a study on the topic that I think will be of real interest.
The study is titled "The influence of exercise and BMI on injuries and illnesses in overweight and obese individuals: a randomized control trial" and was performed by Carol Janney and John Jakicic at the University of Pittsburgh. Participants in the study included overweight and obese individuals taking part in one of two exercise studies - one focused weight loss and the other on weight maintenance. The exercise component of the two studies were similar, with participants walking at a brisk pace 5 days/week (the major difference between the two studies is that one included caloric restriction to induce weight loss, while the other simply emphasized healthy eating patterns). Every 6 months, participants reported any injuries or illnesses that impacted their ability to exercise.

In the past few years several prominent researchers have argued for the adoption of taxes on junk food as a means of reducing their consumption. Often, as in a recent editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine, the argument is made that money collected through the tax could then be used to subsidize healthier foods. This is an idea that I've found very appealing - we make the bad foods more expensive, the good foods less expensive, and people will probably shift at least some of their purchases to those healthier options. But a very interesting new study by Leonard Epstein and colleagues suggests that things might not be so simple.... Read more »

Over the next few months, Peter and I will be re-posting some of our favourite posts from our Obesity Panacea archives. The following article was originally posted on December 2, 2009.
Image by Mike Baird.
There is a surprising amount of controversy about the ability of physical activity to prevent the development of obesity. Sure, obese individuals tend to perform less physical activity than their lean counterparts, but that doesn't prove causation. And almost every week it seems that there is a news story reporting that the obesity epidemic is caused by diet. Period. If you believe these articles, physical activity plays a minor role, if any role at all. Some have even (erroneously) suggested that physical activity increases the risk of weight gain (for a thorough debunking of a recent TIME article on this subject, click here).
One of the problems of trying to untangle the role of physical activity in the development of obesity is that most studies use indirect measures of physical activity, like self-report questionnaires. Not surprisingly, there is a lot of error when people are reporting a socially-desirable behaviour like physical activity, as they tend to err on the positive side. And questionnaires also often give several fixed options, for example "Are you normally active for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes per day?". If you are active for 20 minutes per day, would you pick 15 or 30? Either way, it introduces a lot of error, which makes it very difficult to determine the specific role that your current physical activity levels play in the development of obesity down the road.

That's right - contrary to what many religiously believe, it is the inability to grow more fat during times of energy surpluss, rather than the excess of fat which appears to directly contribute to the metabolic consequence often associated with obesity.
A recent article in the New Scientist shines some light on this issue;
Obesity kills, everyone knows that. But is it possible that we've been looking at the problem in the wrong way? It seems getting fatter may be part of your body's defense against the worst effects of unhealthy eating, rather than their direct cause.
While the article goes on to discuss some interesting new research, I feel the author misses an opportunity to really challenge the overwhelming dogma that too much fat, per se, is the cause of metabolic consequence of obesity. From my experience, it is much easier to get the point across by investigating the obvious anomalies or outliers to the often thought direct relationship between excess adiposity and disease....

In most developed nations, kids get far less physical activity than they did just a few generations ago. Given the strong links between physical inactivity and health risk (and given that we're now seeing "adult" diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes in children and teenagers), this has become a very real public health concern. Unfortunately, when it comes to increasing childhood physical activity levels, people often want to reinvent the wheel. For example, many people are enthralled with the Nintendo Wii as a means of increasing childhood physical activity - even though it is expensive, and the evidence supporting it is weak at best. At the same time, evidence continues to accumulate in support of simple, inexpensive interventions for increasing childhood physical activity. Today I'd like to briefly look at one of the simplest possible ways of increasing childhood physical activity levels - painting lines on a schoolyard playground.... Read more »

The current recommendations from major health organizations stipulate that if an individual has a BMI in the obese range (30 kg/m2), they should be counseled to lose at least 5-10% of their body weight. This advice appears to make some sense given that increasing body weight is generally associated with heightened risk of various diseases, and that reduction of body weight usually improves levels of risk factors for disease (e.g blood pressure, triglycerides, etc). However, the literature has been much more complicated in terms of the effect of weight loss on risk of early mortality.
Adding to that literature is a recent study by Ingram and Mussolino published ahead of print last week in The International Journal of Obesity. In essence this recent study showed that weight loss of 15% or more was associated with an increased risk of death from all causes among overweight men and among overweight and obese women.

Regular readers of Obesity Panacea will know that I am a huge fan of active transportation (e.g. walking or cycling to work, rather than commuting by vehicle). I just can't say enough good things about it. It often takes about the same amount of time as commuting by vehicle, plus it ensures that you're getting at least some physical activity on even the busiest days. Even just taking transit instead of driving yourself increases your chances of meeting the daily physical activity guidelines, since transit trips almost always involve some walking on either end of the trip (for more info on the transit/physical activity link, click here)....

If you go to your physician's office and inquire about your weight status, he or she will measure your height and weight to derive your BMI (weight in kg divided by height in m squared). Then they will compare your BMI to that of established criteria to decide whether you are underweight (30 kg/m2) . Often times, this measure alone determines whether or not you receive lifestyle treatment. But how useful is this measure anyways? What does it tell you about your health? And finally, how helpful is it to measure when assessing the effect of a lifestyle (diet/exercise) intervention?
For quite some time I have been meaning to discuss some of the issues of solely relying on BMI as a measure of obesity and health, and a nice nudge from our friend ERV was just the motivation I needed to finally get to work.

Here are a few pics taken by training partner Jordan Stoune. Marks were thrown by her dad, Bill Stoune - my go-to training partner these days.
Here is Gypsum, the Foster pup who came with 10 sibngs and his mom 4 days after wardens darted and noose-poled her, to my home as a foster. Gypsum's mom was in quarantine at the animal shelter and she whelped 11 pups on day 2 of quarantine. Most dogs that I've had, I got at 7 weeks of age or later. Gypsum's been at my home since he was 2 days old.
One weekend when I was at a trial, my wife, who promised that everyone would leave, advised the dog that got returned had a new last name: "Atkinson".
Since then he's rode along on a few training sessions.
He doesn't know he's not a lab.

Family: Aceraceae, Maple view all from this family
Description Medium to large sized tree. Crown irregularly ovoid with ascending curved shoots. Bark pale grey, smooth; darker and cracked into slightly long raised plates with age. Leaves deciduous, arranged opposite on twig. Typically 5–10 cm. (2-4 in.) long and wide with 3-5 palmate lobes and serrated margin. When 5 lobes present, three at the terminal end are larger than the two near the base. Upper side of leaf light green; underside whitish. Leaf stalks usually red, up to 10 cm. (4 in.) long. Brilliant red in autumn. Twigs reddish, shiny with small lenticels. Dwarf shoots on many branches. Buds blunt, greenish to reddish in color, with loose scales. Lateral buds slightly stalked, forming in fall and winter; often visible from a distance due to their reddish tint. Flowers unisexual, male and female flowers appear in separate clusters, sometimes bisexual. Staminate flowers contain between 4 and 12 stamens, often with 8. Fruit 15 to 25 mm. (.5 to .75 in.) long double samara with divergent wings at an angle of 50 to 60 degrees on long slender stems, light brown to reddish.
Dimensions Height: 18-27 m. (60-90 ft.)
Diameter: 0.8 m. (2 1/2 ft.).
Habitat Watersides (fresh), Swamps (fresh & salt).
Range Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Southeast, Great Lakes, New England, Eastern Canada, Plains, Texas.
Discussion Used as a shade tree for landscapes. Used commercially on a small scale for maple syrup production as well as for its medium to high quality lumber.
Comments This is one of the first maples to turn color in the fall. Not all red maples have brilliant red foliage, especially those grown from seed. Red maples from the North are extremely cold-hardy, and those from southern areas are very heat-resistant. Upland and lowland types will not tolerate eachothers' habitats. All plants show chlorosis in high pH and cannot stand dry heat. Wilt, leaf hoppers and leaf scorch are problems. Growth rate is medium to fast. Although one of the "soft" maples, red maple is not as prone to storm damage as some of the other, more brittle species.
Exposure Preference Shade to partial sun.
Native Distribution Newfoundland. to s. Ontario, s. to Florida & e. Texas
Site Preference Moist soils along stream banks; moist to drier woodlands
Soil Preference Moist, slightly acidic soils.
Wildlife Value This a preferred species for browsing deer and moose.

Beginning cold blinds with my almost 1 year old BLM and was wondering if there are anything, pointers or tips to make this transition go smoothly? Any certain way to start out that makes it easiest for the dog? And most importantly, is there anything that should absolutely be avoided?
We have done everything to prepare him for this as far as FF, Force to Pile, T work, Pattern blinds (out to 250 yards) and some lining drills like wagon wheel, multiple marks (double marks, no triples yet).
I did two test runs with him at 40 yards and he nailed them but I pretty much expected that, they were easy, but still true cold blinds. Trying to get this down pat before the heat comes in the next couple of months and training will be limited.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Only five ingredients are needed (and one of them is hot water!) in this super-simple skillet Hamburger Helper® dinner mix family favorite.
The fat content of ground beef depends on the cut of meat it came from. Regular ground beef—made from less-expensive cuts—contains up to 30 percent fat. Moderately priced ground chuck contains just enough fat to give it flavor and make it juicy. The leanest (around 5 percent fat) is the most expensive and is made from round and sirloin cuts.
Of course you can use French-fried onions instead of the seasoned croutons!

Better all around player?
No lol.
Better offensive weapon? Without question. Better passer? No. Better rebounder? No. Better defender? Push.
The only thing that Jordan really does better than LeBron offensively is he had a jumpshot. A jumpshot that he didn't develop until later in his career. He can shoot the three better than LeBron. He has a better post game if you want to call his patented fade away his post game. LeBron doesn't have any of that yet.
But I'll officially know that you're crazy if you say that Jordan can get to the basket better than LeBron. That's a push more than likely. But I don't think there's a player (Shaq is the only one if any) in league history that can stop LeBron from getting to the basket at will. He's just too physical.

A place for Skippers and Crew to "Meetup" and share a safe, enjoyable day on the water while practicing sailing skills and learning more about boats, sailing and the sea.
If you have taken a small boat sailing or basic keel-boat class and would like to get some experience actually working a sailboat on the Bay, then this Meetup group is for you. Don't be offended by being called a Newbie, sharing our love of sailing is what we enjoy most.
Our hope is to provide a place to organize real "sailing" events. Not happy hour meetups at the bar to talk about sailing, or hikes, or picnics, or other such events (unless they are related to real "on-the-water" sailing events.
Also, I need to address a common misconception about this and other Meetup groups. When you sign up for an event, you must be serious about attending. You may not sign up as "something that you might like to do" and then decide at the last minute that you would rather do something else. With other Meetup groups this might be totally acceptable. But here if you take a spot, that someone else would have gladly filled, and don't show up, you have deprived someone else of the opportunity to enjoy a day on the Bay - so you will be removed from the group (even if you have paid for the event).
Oh, and if you act creepy, or make other members uncomfortable, you are out, period. No appeal. If you feel that someone is acting inappropriately, please let me (or Meetup) know.
The small donations towards expenses that you make do not come close to paying the substantial costs involves in operating and maintaining the boats, but they certainly help and they make doing what we do possible. If you bail on an event at the last minute please do not expect a refund, unless we are able to fill your seat.
Always answer the contact information questions when you sign up or you will not be considered and we cannot confirm your reservation.
Lastly, please keep coming back to the site to check and see if you have been selected to attend. If you have been selected you will receive further information on who, what, when and where. But if you have not been selected, you will not be contacted at all. It would be great if we could do this, but it is everything that we can do just to organize the event and keep the attendees informed. Thank you for your understanding on this one.
Be assured that the Captains that participate in this Meetup Group are Licensed by the United States Coast Guard which involves extensive training and many years of experience. The boats are well maintained and equipped and we all carry commercial insurance. This is very different than all the other sailing Meetup Groups who do not have licensed Captains, nor the proper insurance (although many of these people do describe themselves as "Captains"). We put an emphasis on safety here, but we do want you to have an enjoyable time as well. So, please do understand that we will ask you to wear a life jacket (they are brand new and comfortable), but do come ready to have a great time. Thank you.
Let's go sailing and have some fun.

It's valid at the 1-hour photo location only (you can order at the warehouse or on line, but must pick up at the 1-hour photo).
There is no limit.
I have a bunch I need to have printed, too.

Dr. Williams is changing the way we understand and treat mental disorders. She is developing a precision mental health model for understanding mental disorders as disruptions within brain circuits that govern emotional and cognitive functions. This model guides the translation of research into more precise diagnoses and treatment choices that are tailored to each person. The model also hands our patients clarity about their individual experience of mental disorder.
After first graduating Dr. Williams worked with patients experiencing serious mental disorders and who had been hospitalized for many years. This experience transformed the trajectory of her career. She went on to complete her PhD in 1996 with a British Council scholarship for study at Oxford University.
At Stanford Dr. Williams develops precision mental health as a Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She founded the Williams' Panlab for Precision Mental Health and Translational Neuroscience. She also leads department-wide initiatives in precision mental health as Associate Chair of Research Strategy and as the Chair of a research incubator that harnesses the activities of major labs focused on clinical translational neuroscience. She has a joint position at the Palo Alto VA Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center where she is Director of education and dissemination, focused on post-traumatic stress.
Dr. Williams first came to Stanford as a visiting Professor in 2011. At that time she was leading a multi-site international study to identify brain biomarkers for depression and antidepressant response. She was thrilled to join the Stanford faculty in 2013. Prior to this time she was foundation Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry at the Sydney Medical School and Director of the interdisciplinary Sydney Brain Dynamics Center for 12 years.

A few things from Sunday that I'd like to mention: Seeoui and Lookman Fonjaengchonburi received their awards for Channel 7 2012 Fight of the Year. Channel 7 Fighter of the Year went to Kataphet Sor Suradej, the current Channel 7 112lbs champion.
Obviously the big show this week is on Tuesday at Lumpini Stadium with some huge match-ups. Thong Puid9d vs. Phetmorakot Wor Sungprapai in the main event is at 122lbs. Thong has had a solid run as of late, in addition to just having been around for a long time and staying quite consistent. Superlek and Mondam are two of Muay Thai's most dynamic young fighters, and yet they're still top fighters. They're rematching from November 2, which saw Superlek win at 116lbs. At 112 lbs is another big fight between Wanchana and Fahsithong. Wanchana was able to get a big victory over Wanchai in December, to rebound from a stoppage loss to Ruangsak Sitniwat in November. Wanchana has been gradually moving up in weight so this should be interesting to see how he does at 112.

The $100 Million Revenue Club: Art.Com
(Editor's note: This story is part of a series of profiles that examines venture-backed companies with at least $100 million in revenue, an oft-mentioned threshold used by investment bankers to determine whether a company is IPO ready. Check out our previous posts on ExactTarget, Bravo Health, Freightquote.com, mBlox and ServiceSource. )
Art.com Inc. would appear to be doing well.
After all, the Emeryville, Calif., online seller of art and decor items has generated more than $100 million in annual revenue for the past four years, including $140 million in 2009.
Yet its new chief executive, Geoffroy Martin, and the company's venture backers, Polaris Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital, believe Art.com could be much bigger. The reason? Martin estimates that more than $20 billion is spent annually in the United States on art-related items, such as posters, prints, photographs, reproductions, decorations and frames.
"The biggest opportunity is to break the barrier in people's mind and make them realize that there is a destination online for everything about art – that there is a significant selection online that doesn't exist offline," said Martin, who was elevated from chief operating officer after five years with the company, replacing founder Michael Heinstein, who became chairman.
In an effort to make more people aware of the company, Art.com is turning to social networks, as well as something it's done very little of in the past: advertising.
The company, which was started in 1998 as Allposters.com and became Art.com Inc. after acquiring a competitor of the same name in 2005, has served some 10 million customers in 120 countries. Many, said Martin, have come through the paid search on Google and other search engines. Anyone searching for art on the Internet, whether it's Van Gogh or something more obscure, is likely to come across a link for Art.com or Allposters.com.
Now the company has launched an app on Facebook, and Martin said it is starting to "see traction" from the move. It also started last year to do some online advertising, which is likely to increase. Advertising in traditional media like print, radio and TV is still being discussed, Martin said. "We are a little low on awareness," he said. "We need to put more of our story out there."
Alan Spoon, a general partner with Polaris Venture Partners who sits on Art.com's board, made this point clear in a recent company release, calling Art.com "the best e-commerce company that you've never heard of." In an interview, Spoon said the company is doing "very, very well. It's the established leader and is growing nicely internationally. It's got an incredible selection and provides value and convenience. It's just not as top-of-mind as other e-commerce companies. It's had countless satisfied customers. We just want them to share that with others."
Aside from trying to generate more business in the U.S., Art.com also has been building its business abroad. It has in recent years added localized Web sites for Japan and a host of European countries, including the U.K., Spain, Germany and Sweden. The company, which already sees a third of its revenue come from outside the U.S., is looking to add six or seven additional localized Web sites in 2010, at least one of which will be in Central America or South America.
In adding these localized sites, it is often necessary for the company to set up distribution centers as well. The company, which has been profitable since inception, utilizes its own capital to fund these additions – there will be no need to tap Polaris, Benchmark or other investors for additional capital. The last time the company raised money was in 2005, when Benchmark led a $30 million round, according to Dow Jones Venture Source. It is the only funding the company has taken.
One thing Art.com will not be doing is getting into the business of selling high-end art. The company offers products that are priced from a few dollars to several thousand dollars. Someone wanting a print of Van Gogh's "Starry Night," for instance, could look at more than 20 options on Art.com's site. That being said, the company is starting to sell art by emerging artists.
"They've got a whole bunch of growth ahead of them both in geographic and mindshare," Spoon said. "People are buying more things online every year, whether it's shoes, books or art for walls. E-commerce is taking a growing share."

Full story here- http://www.rivertowns.net/event/article/id/234516/Brenton Enos, had more than 200 bluegill over his possession limit at his residence. This was on top of the meat taken from the six illegally harvested turkeys.
The Trempealeau County Circuit Court judge agreed and on Jan. 22 accepted the no contest pleas from Enos, 63, of Eleva, to the charges of possessing 76 percent or more over the legal limit of fish and for possession of untagged turkeys.
Enos was fined about $1,000 for the violations. One firearm was confiscated along with the fish and turkeys. Also, the court revoked Enos' hunting, fishing and trapping privileges for three years.
Does the punishment fit the crime in this case?
Since he was in my stomping grounds, I might be biased thinking it should have been more severe.

The regionQueue example demonstrates how a distributed
queue could be implemented using GemFire's distributed caching API.
The example is located in the GemFire installation under
There are three components to the region queue example. The
RegionQueue class implements
a queue whose contents is stored in a GemFire
ServerQueue class
provides remote access to a
RegionQueue via GemFire's
cache server. The
ClientQueue class remotely
accesses a
ServerQueue and can be configured to
automatically fail over to a backup
ServerQueue to
provide high availability. A discussion of the design and
implementation of distributed region queues can be found here.
In every shell used to run this example application, configure your environment according to the instructions provided in examples/EnvSetup.html. This example uses three shells.
Once your environment is set, change to the
examples/dist/regionQueue directory in each shell to run the
application. You may wish to configure the example to run with
non-default connection properties (to use a unique mcast-port, for
example). To do this, start
regionQueue.ServerQueue and
regionQueue.ClientQueue with the
-Dgemfire.mcast-port= option, as shown for each of the invocations using unique multicast ports.
ServerQueue class has a
main method
that creates a
ServerQueue whose contents are hosted on a
given port.
$ java regionQueue.ServerQueue ** Missing queue name usage: java regionQueue.ServerQueue name capacity port name Name of distributed queue capacity Maximum number of elements in the queue port Port on which clients connect Hosts a Server Queue
Executing the following command line creates a
myqueue with a capacity of 10 elements hosted on
port 12345.
$ java regionQueue.ServerQueue myqueue 10 12345
If you need to use a unique multicast port,
execute the command using the
-Dgemfire option:
$ java -Dgemfire.mcast-port=10412 regionQueue.ServerQueue myqueue 10 12345
The program will remain active, serving requests from clients,
until the
ENTER key is pressed.
ClientQueue class has a
main method
that creates a
ClientQueue that accesses a
ServerQueue that runs on a given host and port.
$ java regionQueue.ClientQueue ** Missing queue name usage: java regionQueue.ClientQueue name (host:port)+ name Name of distributed queue host:port Host and port of server queue Creates a client queue and allows the user to interact with it
Executing the following command line creates a
myqueue whose server is running on port 12345 of
the localhost.
$ java regionQueue.ClientQueue myqueue localhost:12345
If you used a unique multicast port for the server queue, you need to use the same port for the client queue:
$ java -Dgemfire.mcast-port=10412 regionQueue.ClientQueue myqueue localhost:12345
ClientQueue program prompts the user to enter a
command that manipulates the remote
myqueue> help Available commands are: offer string [timeout] Adds an element to the queue timeout Seconds to wait for room in queue put string Waits until an element can be added to the queue poll [timeout] Removes an available element from the queue timeout Seconds to wait for element take Waits for an element queue to be available before removing it. peek Returns the element at the head of queue, but doesn't remove it. toArray Prints the entire contents of the queue size Prints the size of the queue isEmpty Prints whether or not the queue is empty remaining Prints number of empty elements in the queu exit Exits this program
High availability of distributed region queues can be demonstrated
by starting two
ServerQueues and a
ClientQueue that communicates with both.
In one shell:
$ java regionQueue.ServerQueue myqueue 10 12345
In another shell:
$ java regionQueue.ServerQueue myqueue 10 12346
In a third shell:
$ java regionQueue.ClientQueue myqueue localhost:12345 localhost:12346
If the first
ServerQueue exits or is killed after the
client populates the queue, the queue's elements will be fetched from the
Follow these steps to stop the GemFire locator and close the example sessions:
enter in each server session.
exit in the client session.
exit in each of them.

Giants Fall Short of 4-Game Sweep in SD; Lose 10-1

Not exactly the game a team wants to end the first half on. The Giants (43-51) lose their last game before the All Star break to the Padres (42-54) in San Diego, 10-1. Barry Zito (L, 4-7) and the bullpen could not hold back the San Diego lineup allowing all 10 runs before the end of the 5th. Zito would allow three home runs in a start that just last two plus innings. The first one was a solo s...

Discover The CTU Experience
Business and technology faculty here at CTU have watched news reports involving Research in Motion (RIM) closely for lessons to share on leadership, management and innovation. As part of a two-part op ed series, we asked Dr. Emad Rahim and Dr. Myles Vogel to share their personal reactions to what caused RIM's decline. Part two in the series, this is Myles' response.
This is the first post in CTU's Global Security Series in which Dr. Morag will offer background and analysis on issues related to U.S. national security and homeland security. Dr. Morag will post weekly, addressing each country or topic in a series of posts over several weeks before moving on to the next country or topic.
The recent Egyptian presidential elections have led to the victory of the country's first Muslim Brotherhood (MB) candidate, Muhammad Mursi. Despite the media's efforts to trumpet the "profound change" in Egypt, it is far from clear what the election of Mursi really means for Egypt and the rest of the world.
As part of a two-part op ed series, we asked the University Dean of Business and Management, Dr. Emad Rahim, and the University Dean of IT, Computer Science and Engineering, Dr. Myles Vogel, to share their personal reactions to what caused RIM's decline. Part one in the series, this is Emad's response.
If you want to speak like a computer expert, it helps to do your research on computers, Internet trends, and the latest technological advances. To start learning the technical jargon, here's a list of ten terms that you should know.
Attempting to fix your computer is stressful enough, so scrambling around to find backup discs and paperwork only makes it worse. You can improve the situation, however, by assembling the right tools and materials before you start the repairs.
What is all this hype over cloud computing? Is it really something new under the sun? As one who has witnessed the last forty years of computing technology, I say yes and no.
The recent press coverage of the "Flame" computer virus, which computer security experts have purportedly been aware of since 2010, underscores changes that have been occurring in intelligence-gathering and warfare.
If you have ever been to a hospital and received an itemized bill, you've probably questioned many of the charges.
Sometimes our computers act so bizarrely that we can no longer deny that some kind of malware, or malicious software, has caught us off guard. Downloading an antivirus program and using the Internet carefully are great ways to protect your computer, but cluttering your system with unnecessary and even dangerous files and programs is inevitable.

Whats your favourite movie of the classic trilogy??
Mines is Empire Strikes Back, yep thats the best!!
Whats your favourite movie of the classic trilogy??
Mines is Empire Strikes Back, yep thats the best!!
As always...........L
I concur. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is the best of them. Why?
Best planet: Hoth
Best vehicle: Snowspeeder
Best costume: Luke's Bespin fatigues
Best Vader lines
Best lighting in a scene: Carbon freezing chamber
Best Yoda lines
Can't top that!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I'll pick ESB, because of the humour the tragedy and the Hoth battle sequence. Plus it had the least objectionable SE additions IMHO.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I like them all and I like them all for different reasons
We meet the characters
We see what its like on a cra**y sandy planet
Some very good scenes on Bespin
Characters sound believeable
The Bounty Hunters cometh.
"I am your father"
We see jabba The Hutt
Final duel between Luke and Vader
Emperor kinking saome *****
Seeing other planets at the end
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
Empire Strikes Back gets my vote.
Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis
I gotta go with the original. It set the tone for everything to follow.
The Empire Strikes Back
B-CJ: What about the lighting in the Vader/Luke lightsaber duel? Just as good IMHO!
When I was a kid, ROTJ was my favorite, but as I got older, ESB became my favorite. However, by the time the SEs came out, ANH was my favorite and I had finally sorted out the order:
- ANH is my favorite, I love it the most for what it is.
- ESB is IMO the best, it's just damned good at what it's showing you.
- ROTJ will always hold a special place in my heart for some great scenes, but for me, it's a lot harder to ignore its failings now adays.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
ROTJ was the greatest movie ever to me when I was a kid. Now I understand I liked it mainly for it's production values. Which were the best of the OT. But now that TPM is the prettiest of the movies, I have a hard time finding a lot of good to say about ROTJ.
I'll always love Star Wars, because it started it all, and it is totally self contained. You don't ever have to watch another SW movie before or after it and you still feel satisfied.
However, ESB is still my favorite. It's nearly flawless, the dialog is great and the characters act more human than in any other SW film. I think about all my favorite Star Wars quotes and scenes and I realize that they all came from ESB.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
