Essentially we have one stationary GPS that assumes the first point it reads is the point it is at and all other data it receives has error in it. It calculates this error and sends it over to the "rover" so that it may calculate what the error is and subtract it from its own coordinates.
You keep mentioning differential GPS but I don't know how that would work, is it significantly different than what I am trying to do?
Don't you need a surveyed point for the GPS to compare with to do differential?

Countdown to Stone Crab Season opener
Well, it's official: our favorite fall activity is now just one week away. We're talking, of course, about Stone Crab Season– officially open on October 15th — that beautiful time of year when experts and novices alike can take to the waters to search for the beautiful (and sustainable!) crabs whose tender, sweet claw meat is considered one of the great delicacies of the Florida Keys. This year's opening week will also include a Claw Eating Contest, so interested parties are encouraged to start their training now (crab cakes for breakfast, anyone?) Registration for the contest can be completed at: http://www.keysfisheries.com/events/
Mark your calendars, the countdown has begun!

Designers of ladies lingerie today is made not only to feel comfortable but to look beautiful too. There are many kinds of exclusive lingerie which vary in their style, colour and function. Everyday ladies lingerie tends to be pretty but unadorned and very practical, so that women can go about their day feeling comfortable and supported.
For larger busts, underwired and minimizing bras, such as the range from Panache, are a very popular choice. And for smaller busts, you can buy lingerie with wire free options that are available. Cotton and lace briefs, such as Playtex's range, are great for everyday use as well and there are a huge range of styles to choose from, including bikini shape, thongs, boy shorts and French briefs. These types of bras and briefs tend to be in simple block colours such as white, nude and black and fit nicely under casual clothing.
Buying lingerie online can be a great way of treating yourself; there are a vast array of shapes and styles to choose from, so whatever your body shape, you can buy luxury lingerie to suit your figure. Lingerie nightwear can make you feel really special, even if you're wearing it underneath a casual outfit.
A silky slip or lacy bra can make all the difference. Fantasie do a beautiful selection of lingerie online which suits both smaller and fuller figured women. Of course, you don't have to choose between practicality and beauty; Berlei offer some very delicate looking bras, which offer great support yet still look glamorous.
There are no products matching the selection.

Two concerts last week by mid-career artists who are still looking into life's persistent questions: Brian Crabtree, Marjorie Morgan, and dancers at the Dance Complex, and David Dorfman Dance at Salem State College.
For "Squint," Crabtree and Morgan alternated pieces, 13 of them, some no longer than a minute or two, but the program hung together in style and tone. Maybe they were showing separate chapters of some larger forms they'd been working on and talking about together.
Crabtree offered a dance in four parts, for himself and one, two, or three women, mostly accompanied by the crazy-quilt recordings of North Adams duo the Books. Sharing a soft, sculptural movement language, they danced apart and together, gently touching and maneuvering around one another. At one point I thought Yenkuei Chang and Joelle Garfi might have been creatures in his dream. With Audra Carabetta, he seemed erotically involved.
Marjorie Morgan's pieces were more varied, more adventurous, but also interconnected. Morgan has been exploring the voice for a while now, sometimes incorporating singing with dancing. For this performance she composed and sang a duet in French ("Chanter Une Lettre") with Jessica Newman; then, with Newman and Allison Ball, she used what may have been the same song in a semi-canonic dance piece (Danser Une Lettre), along with some wildly assorted other musical bits.
Morgan seems fond of working around the edges of specificity. Three tiny solos were about not doing the obvious. Jim Banta caterpillared once across the space without ever standing up. Crabtree shrugged across, hands in pockets, not responding to a recorded salsa rhythm by Kaia. And Morgan mimed a bubblegum-chewing karaoke show-off who didn't sing.
Morgan opened the program with a sort of chant in a made-up vocabulary of expressive syllables. In this and all the vocal selections, she used an ordinary, unassertive singing style, as if she were doing it for her own pleasure and didn't care whether the audience understood the words. Come to think of it, that's the way everyone danced, too.
David Dorfman's Disavowal seemed just the opposite — overwhelmingly verbal, eager to communicate, accuse, uplift, change us in some way. The sprawling hour-long piece for his eight dancers encompassed a big chunk of think material about race and consciousness raising, love, learning, disagreement, play, and authority, all strewn among blocks of recuperative dancing.
Dorfman began the piece walking through the aisles, introducing the dancers with embarrassingly intimate character portraits, possibly real, possibly made up. As he exposed them, the dancers stripped to their underwear and went up on stage. Even before that, they'd proffered strands of wool to each entering audience member, color-coding us for future participation and making personal contact at the same time.
Against an intermittent background of wheeling, soaring dance-class combinations, each dancer had a solo interlude exposing his or her anxieties. They brooded about their attitudes toward their skin color. They paired off into duets featuring the depersonalized lifting and carrying moves of contact improvisation. They argued with one another, talking, screaming; they worked themselves up into tantrums, then reassembled into relative harmony again.

Cybercrimes and data breaches – the new normal?
As the former Assistant Director of Intelligence for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Ray Boisvert is uniquely qualified to help businesses and governments identify risks and create cybersecurity safeguards. His advice? "A new approach that uses analytics to understand the behavioral aspects of hackers is absolutely necessary," he says.
Boisvert is quick to note he isn't a technical specialist. "I'm a threat specialist,'' he says. With experience operating in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and exchanging intelligence and benchmark threat matrices with security and intelligence agencies from around the world, he sees cyberattacks as the emerging fifth dimension of the 21st century's battlefield – one that will become increasingly important.
What he finds frustrating is that businesses often think that hackers are motivated solely by greed. Motives are as diverse as human beings, and recent evidence suggests political motives are just as critical.
"Disrupting a business is an opportunity to disrupt our Western way of life,'' Boisvert says, noting that Russian hackers are believed to go after credit card data not only for the money, but also to fight back at Western sanctions imposed on Russia because of events in Ukraine.
The corporate world (the financial sector being a notable exception) tends to view cybersecurity as a low-tier problem. "Something to delegate,'' he notes. "There is definitely some hubris and self-denial.''
Rather than pouring millions of dollars into bigger and better firewalls and more anti-virus software, Boisvert sees cybersecurity as a task for analytics that can help organizations tease out the proverbial signal from the massive internet "noise" around serious threats. The challenge is to identify the right threat vector related to the most valued elements an organization holds dear. The organization will only be successful if it has technology to quickly digest huge streams of data, in real time, so that it may begin to see patterns that can thwart further fraud.

Stay home.
No, not you. Not unless you happen to be one of the thousand of government workers who've been told to sleep late tomorrow by their employer. Yes, the shutdown looks to begin after midnight tonight. And if you expect either side to back down between now and then, when the government's new fiscal year begins, then maybe you should stay home too.
Is it any wonder, then, that investors were in a selling mood today? The Dow Jones Industrials fell 0.8% to 15,129.67, while theS&P 500dropped 0.6% to 1,681.55.
A government shutdown, on its own shouldn't be a big deal, notes Citi Private Bank's Steven Wieting. There have been 17 shutdowns since 1976, and only one three occurred during a recession. Combine it with the debt ceiling, however, and the risk could be much larger. Wieting explains:
The proximity of a potential shutdown to the parallel matter of the Federal debt limit, might conceivably make the situation more dangerous. By late October, the U.S. Treasury is expected to exhaust all flexibility to pay its obligations. In the absence of an accord then, the U.S. would be in uncharted territory. A very late passage of a debt ceiling increase in mid-2011 resulted in severe turmoil, and a 19% correction in U.S. share prices in the period both before and after that event.
The 2011 experience has likely reduced the "shock value" of another self-imposed brush with disaster for the U.S. sovereign. The U.S. is on the cusp of stabilizing its federal debt/GDP ratio as the 12-month deficit has fallen to 4.0% of GDP – close to the nominal GDP growth rate. With an average duration of 5 years, the U.S. weighted borrowing cost is less than 1.5%.
Like seeing a horror movie a second time around, we see markets "recoiling" far less as the end game of all this is simply a debt ceiling increase for the 81st time since World War II. But paramount to a benign outcome is an actual deal, and we have yet to see how close to the brink the two sides will choose to go.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods' Frederick Cannon and team ponder the impact of a government shutdown will have on stocks and bonds:
Two trends are evident: first, bond yields tend to fall during these periods even with the threat of default overhanging the market (we also look at the California budget situation and find the same trend); second, financial stocks have tended to be more volatile than the overall stock market. In this note we also review the betas of the financial stock subsectors since year-end 2011 and note that the betas have fallen significantly. This suggests that financial stocks will be less susceptible to relative underperformance if the budget impasse sends the market down.
The uncertainty over the budget-battle didn't stop some investors form placing their bets on teh outcome. Medical-device makers, for instance, rallied on hopes that a tax on their products would be negotiated out of existence. Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), for instance, gained 2.4% t0 $376.27, making it the biggest gainer in S&P 500, while St. Jude Medical (STJ) rose 2.4% to $53.64.
Lost amid the noise: the start of earnings season, which is scheduled to begin on Oct. 8–if we continue to use Alcoa (AA) as the symbolic starting gun despite it being booted from the Dow. Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker offers his thoughts:

S. 2188: National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012
On March 12, S. 2188, the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012," was introduced by U.S. Senators Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Joe Manchin (D-W.V.). A nearly identical bill, H.R. 822, passed the House of Representatives on Nov. 16, 2011, by a vote of 272-154.
This bill would allow any person with a valid state-issued concealed firearm permit to carry a concealed handgun in any other state that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms for lawful purposes. A state's laws governing where concealed handguns may be carried would apply within its borders.
Right-to-carry laws recognize the right to carry firearms for protection against criminals, and this bill seeks to protect that right when a person travels outside his or her state of residence. The Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, although it indicated that this right could be restricted in "sensitive places." It is also well established that Congress has the power to protect constitutional rights from state infringement, and to protect the right of citizens to travel without undue burdens imposed by states.
Today, 48 states issue carry permits, Vermont allows carrying without a permit, and three other states also allow carrying without a permit, but issue permits for the purpose of permit reciprocity with other states. Only Illinois completely prohibits carrying firearms outside one's home or business for self-defense.
While carry permit laws are well established in America, permit reciprocity is less so. Only a quarter of the states recognize other states' permits unconditionally, and over half the states do not recognize other states' permits, or do so only if certain conditions are met.
Most of the 48 carry permit states have fair and reasonable permit issuance policies, and in those states such laws have worked as intended. Confounding the predictions of these laws' opponents, Americans with carry permits are more law-abiding than the general public. For example, in Florida, the state that has issued the most permits, only 0.008% of 2.1 million permits have been revoked because of firearm crimes by permit holders.
Self-defense is a fundamental right. The U.S. constitution, the constitutions of 44 states, common law, and the laws of all states recognize the right to use arms in self-defense. RTC laws respect the right to self-defense by allowing individuals to carry firearms for protection. S. 2188 would strengthen this fundamental right.

Here's the best idea I've seen in a long time:
There are similar petitions for a bunch of other states, but Texas has more signatures than all the others combined. I'm not Texan, but I signed. The funny thing is, Texas, uniquely, is legally allowed to secede with no say-so from anybody outside Texas. That was one of the conditions Congress agreed to when it took Texas in. Texas controls 36 House seats. Let them take Oklahoma with them, and that's 41 House and 4 Senate seats.
The best thing is, they would immediately declare war.

Make cupcakes that are the peanuttiest! Peanut butter is in the cake and frosting; crunchy peanuts top all.
Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting can be substituted for the chocolate frosting.
Using an ice cream scoop is an easy way to fill muffin cups. Use one that measures out slightly less than 1/4 cup batter.
If you don't want to chop peanuts, look for a chopped nuts mix in the baking section of the supermarket. The package size is usually 1/2 cup and contains a mix of nuts including peanuts.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Health Minister Susan Sullivan said today it will take between five and seven years before midwives will be able to practice within the public health system in the province.
That's after she released the report "Implementing Midwifery in Newfoundland and Labrador" which is meant to help guide the establishment of midwifery in Newfoundland and Labrador.
"Establishing midwifery is a long-term investment because it takes policy changes, time and effort to integrate practitioners and a period of time to have sufficient midwives to have an impact on the provision of maternity care," Sullivan said.
"We will continue to work with the provincial midwifery body as they form their professional college and provide submissions for the development of regulations."
Mary Hodge of the Association of Midwives of Newfoundland and Labrador said she's disappointed it will take so long, but welcomes the fact there is some movement toward licensing the profession.
"There are midwives in Alberta and other places waiting to come home to practice," she said.
Liberal health critic Christopher Mitchelmore said he's disappointed at the slow turnaround in the public system especially since there are midwives already practising in the Labrador Grenfell Health region.
"There are midwives that have been practising and delivering babies and dealing with the pre-and post-natal care as well as delivering and there has been a lot of success on the Great Northern Peninsula and to see it is going to take so much time to implement in the health authority, this is just taking away choice," said Mitchelmore, who represents Straits- White Bay North.
"For those who can afford care, those are the only ones that will be able to avail of such a service so it's a backwards step."
The report states the first step in the process will be to develop regulations concerning the private practice of the profession under the Health Professions Act.
A news release notes the provincial government will also be appointing an implementation co-ordinator and an advisory committee to help inform the process of regulating midwives in the province. The report is available at: http://www.health.gov.nl.ca/health/publications/Midwifery_Report_2014.pdf
"The report examined the potential of regulating midwifery as a means of providing quality health care for childbearing women and their families in our province," Sullivan said.
"We are pleased with what we have learned, and we will be working with the Newfoundland and Labrador Council of Health Professionals and the Association of Midwives of Newfoundland and Labrador to establish a transitional College of Midwives.
"Properly regulating this practice will protect mothers and their infants, and ensure that midwives have the appropriate training and qualifications and provide important recognition of this professional group."

How much more tax payer money will this desperate attempt by GM to gain acceptance take? Obviously, the American consumer doesn't trust the government to build anything with quailty as evident in Ford's increased market share over Chevy.
In the short term, I just don't see how Ford will be able to compete with Gooberment Motors. By proping up a failing company, the government is harming Ford in thier attempt to run thier business like an American company should!
I don't trust the goobs to be divested of Gooberment Motors by 2012 as they have been trying to tell everyone. Tax payers have bought into saving the UAW an organization that worked very hard to get Obama elected. We will have ownership until a new administration says, "enough is enough".
GM Offers Refund to Car Buyers to Win Them Back
MILWAUKEE – Looking to regain consumers' trust, General Motors Co. said Thursday new car buyers will be able to return their vehicles within two months of purchase for a full refund, part of a long-awaited new marketing campaign for the biggest American automaker.
The effort will begin next week, seeking to make connections again with American consumers who may be leery of the company since it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this year. Chairman Edward Whitacre Jr. will appear in the initial burst of ads, telling consumers in a folksy, Texan accent he too had doubts about GM when he joined on this summer. But he likes the cars he found, and consumers should too.
The company's bid to win back customers is a last-ditch effort to survive. GM received $50 billion in government aid to keep operating earlier this year and it has to pay that back to continue operating. To do that, it must sell cars.
And to make those sales, GM has to change how consumers view it in the marketplace. That starts with showing GM's cars are better than competitors, said GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, who delayed retirement to head GM's marketing efforts. He said there is a "monumental chasm" between the public's perception of GM's vehicles and the autos in its current lineup, and the "May the Best Car Win" effort aims to change that.
The company stands behind its cars now and can offer full money-back guarantees, he told reporters on a conference call Thursday. As recently as three years ago, GM would have been faced with a huge risk if it made such an offer, but the company's slate of models is strong and can take on any competitors, especially foreign-made cars, he said.
"We really are in a position today where we can look anybody in the eye and say 'we are as good as or better than everybody else,'" Lutz said.
To prove that, GM is putting its four remaining brands —Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC— directly against foreign competitors, focusing on quality, performance, fuel economy and design. The Chevrolet Equinox will be featured in advertisements directly compared to the Honda CRV, and Cadillacs will target German luxury vehicles, Lutz said.
Whitacre's appearance in the ads will be short-lived as GM shifts focus to its brands, away from the corporation, Lutz said. Individual campaigns for the brands will share common elements but the GM logo and the words GM will not appear, he said. Instead, the brands will be the true focus, since consumers' perception of GM is affected by the company's bankruptcy filing this year.
"We are emancipating the brands and trotting them out in the open," Lutz said.
GM will allow customers who purchase a new vehicle starting next Monday through Nov. 30 to return it, no questions asked, for a full refund within 31 to 60 days from the date of purchase. The vehicles must not have more than 4,000 miles on them and the drivers must be current on their payments. Cars will also be under GM's 100,000-mile five-year powertrain warranty.
The offer applies to brands such as Chevrolet, GMAC, Buick and Cadillac. The Pontiac brand, which GM is phasing out, is not eligible. Leased vehicles are also ineligible.

some time ago I wrote simple game which looks like arkanoid. And everything would be fine if not one BIG problem: on nVidia graphic cards my game is rendering everything what i want, but on Radeon you can't see anything else than black background. I dont use any special instructions for shaders or opengl. I use simple VBO + VAO + shader GLSL(#verison 120).
Sample shader:
#version 120 uniform mat4 modelViewProjectionMatrix; in vec3 in_Position; void main(void) { gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0; gl_Position=vec4(in_Position.xy*2,0,1); }
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? What should I check to know where is difference between using opengl+shader in nVidia and in Radeon? Can it be the problem of shaders? (all are in defaultData of game, some can look stragne because of shader-merging system, but it works fine).
Oh and: I dont get any Opengl/Shader compile errors what is so strange too.

An abdominal x-ray is an imaging test to look at organs and structures in the belly area. Organs include the spleen, stomach, and intestines.
When the test is done to look at the bladder and kidney structures, it is called a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) x-ray.
Abdominal film; X-ray - abdomen; Flat plate; KUB x-ray
The test is done in a hospital radiology department. Or it may done in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You lie on your back on the x-ray table. The x-ray machine is positioned over your abdominal area. You hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the picture will not be blurry. You may be asked to change position to the side or to stand up for additional pictures.
Before having the x-ray, tell the health care provider the following:
You wear a hospital gown during the x-ray procedure. You must remove all jewelry. You must sign an informed consent form.
There is no discomfort. The x-rays are taken as you lie on your back, side, and while standing.
The x-ray will show normal structures for a person your age.
Abnormal findings include:
The test may be performed for:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. Women should tell the health care provider if they are, or may be, pregnant.
The test is not usually recommended for pregnant women. The ovaries and uterus cannot be shielded during the abdominal x-ray because of their location.
Men should have a lead shield placed over the testes to protect against the radiation.

Fight Code Rhinos Final Live Results
- Written by Rian Scalia
Fight Code wraps up their Rhinos heavyweight tournament series today in Geneva, Switzerland. Competitors have won their way into the final and four of them remain. The four: Vitali Akhramenko, Freddy Kemayo, Pacome Assi and Yuksel Ayaydin will battle it out in a one night tournament to determine the winner of the Fight Code Rhinos Tournament. Also on the card, two rematches form the last Fight Code event take place. Armen Petrosyan and Yuri Bessmurtny rematch, as well as Abdallah Mabel and Xu Yan.
You can watch the event live for free on www.livefightcode.tv. All you have to do is sign up.
Fight Code Rhinos Semi-Final #1:
Vitali Akhramenko def. Pacome Assi by Unanimous Decision. Very close fight. Akhramenko dominated the first round but Assi came back in rounds 2 and 3 and there could be a case made for him winning. Akhramenko's conditioning in this fight was very bad. Assi has improved immensely over the course of the year.
Fight Code Rhinos Semi-Final #2:
Freddy Kemayo def. Yuksel Ayaydin by Unanimous Decision. Great fight, non-stop action throughout. Pretty close and could've gone to an extra round.
Yoann Kongolo def. Hicham Zentari by TKO (Body Kick) in Round 2. Zentari had a granite chin but Kongolo got around that and finished him to the body. Kongolo is a beast.
Fight Code Dragons Final 8:
Yuri Bessmertny def. Armen Petrosyan by KO (Right Hook). Armen came out strong and looked like he hurt Bessmertny. Armen came at Yuri with full on offense and Yuri landed a counter hook, knocking him down. Armen got up and went at Yuri again, this time Yuri landed a vicious right hook. Armen got up but the referee waved off the fight.
Fight Code Dragons Final 8:
Abdallah Mabel def. Xu Yan by Unanimous Decision. Commentator is making a fuss about the decision just because Xu Yan was better in the third round and disregards anything that happened in the two rounds before.
Fight Code Rhinos Final:
Vitali Akhramenko def. Freddy Kemayo by decision. He wins $80 000 US.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
It seems like Duke Upshaw has been playing football at Baldwyn forever. Unfortunately for the rest of Class 2A, the athlete and defensive back has three more years to play.
Baldwyn coach Michael Gray wanted to use Upshaw – one of the Bearcats' basketball stars as well – in quarterback formations last season, but injuries kept blocking that effort.
That plan is back on the table for this season.
"Everywhere I go, 'How's Duke doing?'" Gray said.
Upshaw won't sneak up on anyone as a sophomore. Teams are already scheming around him. Despite the fact he missed five games last season, his name is out there and will grow, Gray says, as much as he allows it to.
"If he takes care of his end of the deal, he's going to have a fun three years," Gray said. "It's a matter of us as a coaching staff and him as a player to polish it all up over the next three years."
Opposing coaches aren't the only ones paying attention, but don't expect the reserved Upshaw to blast too much out on Twitter. Ole Miss and Memphis are two early inquirers.
Upshaw accepted a rare freshman invite to the U.S. Army Combine in January. Less than 4 percent of the invitees were freshmen.
He led the Bearcats in rushing as an eighth grader, had 3.4 tackles per game and averaged nearly 35 yards per kick return. A knee injury played a role last season, but he still had four interceptions and was named a second team All-America by MaxPreps.
Upshaw averaged 14 points per game for the Class 2A state championship basketball team.
"Ithink he needs to be a little more fundamentally sound. When he went out to the combine, one of the main things was his technique and fundamentals," Gray said. "Hopefully that's going to come. The skill level is there."

- Too slippery and oily!
March 17, 2013
Saw this at the Homedepot store and was amazed by how plush and soft it felt. When the product came, it certainly did not feel as soft. It also made my feet feel oily after walking on it and made the carpet slippery. After a couple days of use, i would start to see shedding. I even went back to Homedepot to check out the display rug and it seemed totally different. The displayed rug had no flaws and seemed to be evenly cut and felt softer. I don't know if i got a defective rug or not but i am returning it!Cons slippery and oily, sheds, not very plush, cold rug

Jane Orie to be released Sunday from prisonFebruary 6, 2014 11:33 PM
Former state Sen. Jane Orie will be released from prison on Sunday after serving her minimum sentence.
It is likely that Orie will walk out of the State Correctional Institutiton at Cambridge Springs in Crawford County around midmorning, after completing necessary paperwork and "packing out" her cell, said Amy Boyland, a spokeswoman for the prison.
Orie, 52, was told she would be released after a hearing in November before two members of the state parole board.
Their reasons included her "positive institutional behavior," the "positive recommendation made by the Department of Corrections" and her "demonstrated motivation for success."
Orie started serving her time June 6, 2012, after being sentenced to 21/2 to 10 years in prison by Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning of Allegheny County. Orie was convicted of 14 felony counts during a second trial on charges she used her legislative staff to campaign for her sister, Joan Orie Melvin, for a seat on the state Supreme Court.
Her first trial ended in a mistrial when prosecutors accused Orie of tampering with documents submitted as evidence in the case.
In the second trial, Orie was found guilty of theft of services and conspiracy, as well as forgery and tampering with evidence.
Because Judge Manning set the top end of Orie's sentence at 10 years, she will remain on parole that entire time.
Sherry Tate, a spokeswoman with the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, said Orie will be required to report to the district duty agent within 25 hours of her release from prison. She then will be required to meet with her specific parole officer to set up a case management plan a short time later.
Among standard conditions of parole, Ms. Tate said, Orie will have to be drug free, pay her supervision fees and make her appointments when scheduled.
"She just needs to comply with her conditions of parole and report to her agent, and she'll be all right," Ms. Tate said.
Because Orie's crimes did not involve violence, she was eligible for a reduced sentence under the Recidivism Risk Reduction Incentive -- dropping her minimum time to 221/2 months.
An appeal of her conviction remains undecided at the state Superior Court. The original notice of appeal was filed in September 2012, and the first brief by Orie was filed on April 22. The court heard oral argument on Dec. 11, and nothing has happened yet on the case.

See ya in the field. HPW http://www.sagaciouskennel.com/
Well my trip is complete, I just got stopped by the US Border checkpoint outside of Blythe and was asked if I was a migrant farm worker
Are you serious? I showed the agent my 20 dollar manicure and asked if these look like the hands of a migrant farm worker, guess he didn't like my attitude so they searched my car and ran my license, I am probably on some sort of watch list
I knew I should have bought an RTF hat
You do NOT have to cross the border to hit a border patrol check point. I think we hit half a dozen going & 3 or 4 coming back. Stupidest crap I've ever seen.

Relations with Azerbaijan
NATO and Azerbaijan actively cooperate on democratic, institutional and defence reforms, and have developed practical cooperation in many other areas. Azerbaijan's Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) lays out the programme of cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO.
Azerbaijan is seeking to achieve Euro-Atlantic standards and to draw closer to Euro-Atlantic institutions. Consequently, support to security sector reform and democratic institution building are key elements of NATO-Azerbaijan cooperation.
Another important area of cooperation is the country's support for NATO-led operations. Azerbaijan currently contributes troops to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. In the past, it also actively supported the operation in Kosovo.
Framework for cooperation
Cooperative activities, reform plans and political dialogue processes are detailed in Azerbaijan's Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP), which is jointly agreed for a two-year period. Key areas of cooperation include good governance and democratic control of the defence and security sector, defence planning and budgeting and the reorganization of the armed forces structure using NATO standards. Beyond supporting reform, another key objective of NATO's cooperation with Azerbaijan is to develop the ability of the country's forces to work together with forces from NATO countries.
Azerbaijan also cooperates with NATO and Partner countries in a wide range of other areas through the Partnership for Peace (PfP), the Planning and Review Process (PARP) and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC).
Key areas of cooperation
Security cooperation
Thanks to regular participation in PfP activities, Azerbaijan has been able to contribute actively to Euro-Atlantic security by supporting NATO-led peace-support operations.
From 1999 to 2008, troops from Azerbaijan were part of the NATO-led operation in Kosovo (KFOR).
Azerbaijan actively supports the ISAF operation in Afghanistan since 2002, where it has gradually increased its forces to about 95 personnel. An infantry company, deminers, medical assistant and staff officers from Azerbaijan are serving alongside NATO forces, as part of a Turkish contingent, in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Azerbaijan also contributes to the NATO-ANA (Afghan National Army) Trust Fund.
Azerbaijan has declared a number of units available for PfP activities, on a case by case basis. These include infantry units, combat support and combat service support units and two medium transport helicopters. The Internal Troops, in cooperation with NATO, are also developing a police support unit to be made available for NATO-led operations.
Azerbaijan contributes to the fight against terrorism through its participation in the Partnership Action Plan on Terrorism (PAP-T). This includes sharing intelligence and analysis with NATO, and cooperating with the Allies on enhancing national counter-terrorist training capabilities and improving border and infrastructure security. Information exchange through NATO's terrorist threat intelligence unit is being developed. Azerbaijan is also working to establish an international Anti-Terrorism Training Centre at the Academy of the Ministry of National Security.
Azerbaijan aims to improve maritime security and its capabilities to reduce illegal activities in the Caspian Sea in cooperation with some NATO member countries and some regional Partner countries. NATO nations also support efforts to improve border security.
NATO has no direct role in negotiations aimed at resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which are being conducted in the framework of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group. However, NATO takes an interest in this process and encourages all sides to continue their efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Peaceful resolution of conflicts is a core value of NATO, and is one of the core commitments that all Partner countries commit to when joining the Partnership for Peace (PfP).
Defence and security sector cooperation
Defence and security sector reforms are crucial to the development of Azerbaijan and its goal of achieving Euro-Atlantic standards as well as its increasing Euro-Atlantic cooperation. This is an area in which NATO and individual Allies have considerable expertise which Azerbaijan can draw upon. A key priority is working to strengthen democratic and civilian control over the armed forces. NATO is also supportive of the wider democratic and institutional reform process underway in Azerbaijan.
With NATO advice, Azerbaijan has developed strategic documents on defence and security, which will support and provide guidance during the conduct of the Strategic Defence Review. Consultations are also underway on the necessary steps for improving other areas of defence planning and budgeting.
NATO and individual Allies continue to assist Azerbaijan in developing selected units so they are interoperable with those of the Allies. Azerbaijan's participation in the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP), since 1997, has been instrumental in the development of the Peacekeeping Battalion and a detachment of two helicopters is now supporting the development of the Mobile Battalion , which would potentially be available for the full spectrum of NATO operations.
Consultations are ongoing on Azerbaijan's military education structures and methods, since the Ministry of Defence is interested in adapting these to meet NATO standards. Within and alongside the PARP process, NATO and Azerbaijan are cooperating on reorganizing units in accordance with NATO standards and on improving the command and control capabilities of each of the armed services and improving logistics.
NATO and Azerbaijan continue to cooperate on the demilitarisation of unexploded ordnance. In 1991, a major explosion at a former Soviet munitions facility in the Agstafa region spread unexploded ordnance over a large area. With technical and financial support from NATO, more than 5.68 million square meters of the contaminated area was cleared, on both the surface and in the subsurface. In addition to this, some 640 000 pieces of unexploded ordnance were cleared. The five-and-a-half-year Trust Fund project was completed in June 2011.
A further project of this kind was launched in 2012 to clear unexploded ordnance from a former Soviet live firing range in the Jeyranchel region. The project will focus on clearing a 19 square kilometre section of the area over a 28-month period. Much like the previous Trust Fund project, NAMSA is directing the project, with Azerbaijani National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) working on the ground as the executing agency.
Civil emergency planning
In cooperation with NATO and through participation in activities organised by NATO's Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC), Azerbaijan is developing its national civil emergency and disaster-management capabilities. Azerbaijan's special search-and-rescue platoon has participated in several exercises organised by the EADRCC. In addition, Civil Emergency Planning experts from NATO and NATO nations are providing advice to the Azerbaijani Ministry of Emergency Situations on a number of issues, including organisational issues, and CBRN defence. Azerbaijan is developing two units (search and rescue and CBRN) to be on high readiness and ready to be deployed on disaster relief operations.
Science and environment
Under the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, Azerbaijan has received grant awards for about 30 cooperative projects and has had leading roles in 87 activities, with even more joining various cooperative activities as participants and key speakers.
Projects include collaboration on improving trans-boundary water quality, protecting drinking water supply from terrorism, identifying the earthquake vulnerability of segments of two important pipelines running through Azerbaijan, and mitigating the effects of earthquakes in the Caucasus region by improving seismic hazard and risk.
In addition, Azeri and international experts participated in an SPS training course entitled "Crisis Management National Capacity Building: an Essential Element in the Fight against Terrorism" in June 2009 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan also participated in the Virtual Silk Highway project, which aims to increase internet access for academic and research communities in countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia through a satellite-based network.
NATO has also supported the conversion of stocks of mélange – a highly toxic and corrosive rocket fuel oxidizer, formerly used by Warsaw Pact Countries – into a harmless chemical. In response to a request from Azerbaijan for assistance, NATO sent a transportable conversion plant, which was officially inaugurated in July 2006. This project was successfully concluded in 2008.
Public information
Another key area of cooperation is to improve access to information and increasing public awareness of NATO and the benefits of NATO-Azerbaijan cooperation.
Since 2003, NATO has been co-sponsoring a summer school in Baku. Programmes developed year on year, leading to the establishment of the NATO International School in Azerbaijan (NISA) in 2005. Seminar topics have included transatlantic energy security, regional security and financial security issues. NISA continues to be an active and productive forum on international security issues for students from Azerbaijan and beyond, organizing NATO-related conferences and workshops twice a year. The Diplomatic Academy of Azerbaijan (ADA) is also very active in promoting cooperation with NATO.
Visits to NATO Headquarters of opinion formers from Azerbaijan take place on an annual basis.
In every partner country an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Azerbaijan is the embassy of Romania.

Saw the standard Kirk, Spock and exclusive Screaming TWOK Kirk at TRU today along with the classic phaser. Not sure who all comes in this 1st wave but its nice to see Trek toys in stores again.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
I wonder how they got back into Toys R Us?
TRU used to carry odds-and-ends stuff like James Bond figures, Billy the Kid, Movie Monsters like Borris Karloff and Christopher Lee in their old costumes. Amongst those were the Art Asylum Star Trek lines (after the very early 90's when Playmates had rows of pegs for their initial launch of TNG figures).
Trek became less and less fashionable, especially as Star Wars accelerated as a brand.
But it's interesting when today, lines like Indiana Jones couldn't get a foothold, plus we're in a bad economy, yet Star Trek is returning to TRU???
I know the movie is coming, but that's still a few months away and an entirely different toy company from Diamond (Playmates Toys once again).
I am thinking of starting to collect the newer star trek figures...are they worth it? Do they have good articulation?
From ArtAsylum/Diamond?
I like them. They're very detailed. I would like ball joint articulation in the hips with ankle articulation, too. But it's mostly good.
I get:
TOS Movies
TNG Movies
from these collections.
As to the newest Playmates stuff? No one's seen it yet that I know of. I think we'll have to wait a few more weeks until Toy Fair.
Ok, i was thinking of ordering a figure or two from startrek.com...is that a good place to order from...do they do good business or is there a better site to go to or even maybe a cheaper website that i can order from that also has cheap shipping?
I'm sorry, I don't know. All my Star Trek orders have been almost exclusively with NewForceComics.com. The owner, Rick, is a fan and all-around cool guy whom I've met at Comic Con and conversed with on ArtAsylum's old Trek fan forums. I've been very satisfied doing business with him and would not hesitate to recommend NewForceComics.
They average about $12 a figure ($24 for 2-packs) and might be a little higher for exclusives, but offer discounts for bent cards they post as "openers." Shipping is pretty standard with most companies I've dealt with. They use UPS or FedEx, and those rates are set by those companies.
I don't think I've been on StarTrek.com for a long time. I'll have to check out what's being offered.
If you want older figures, you also might have to go on eBay (for Enterprise figures, or early TOS or TNG waves for example).
I went on to toyrocket.com and bought the new art asylum geordi laforge figure from TNG. So i cant wait to get my first star trek figures in years. And if i like what i see when i get it then ill buy more...so far i like what i see from the sites that i have been on...so im sure ill like it when i get it. I really want picard,worf,riker,data and nemesis figures too. I havent been this excited about star trek in so long...
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Star Trek figures are now entered into Collection Station if anyone collected those. You can find them under 5" Action Figures in the "TMNT (1988-1997)" toyline. Just select "Star Trek" under the Assortment attribute to narrow the field.
Rogue Squadron-19 Golds, Battle For Naboo-18 Platinums, Rogue Leader-15 Golds/15 Aces, Rebel Strike-19 Single Golds/19 Single Aces
James Boba Fettfield & Lord Malakite's Video Game Collection
I collected the Nemesis ones. Picard and Data were in stores like Tower Records (before they went out of business) and I bought 2 sets. Riker and Troi were a 2-pack and I got them from NewForce. Unfortunately, I would have liked to have been able to purchase a 2nd Riker by himself, but I don't think I got to (or I have an extra Deanna Troi). I bought Worf from NewForce, and as he was sold separately, I think I bought 3 - for Nemesis and to go with my DS9 figures (one with each Dax). The Nemesis figures will be set up facing off with Shinzon and the Reman Viceroy - however, I have an extra Viceroy to fight Riker one-on-one, as I liked that moment in the movie amongst others.
I don't own Beverly or Geordi and I'll have to look into that.
My extra Picard and Data were to be set up fighting the Borg figures that AA made some years ago and I was able to buy in Target. (There's a Klingon, Cardassian, and Hirogen Borg).
However, AA made a Data with a half-flesh face and Picard in his Captain's vest. They are really tempting for me - especially if I can purchase them without having to buy any other figures that I don't need. I love First Contact, and I am also fond of Insurrection and I think it gets a bad rap with fans for really no good reason.
So get this, I buy the friggin' TOS Spock from TRU, and the left elbow is 100% fused, not like "some paint got on there" or "a little of the seam melted", the complete hinge design is solidly part of the receiver element, there's no seam line at all! I'm gonna take him back when I can find one with a working arm, assuming they made one with a working arm. One thing I had forgotten about this line though is that the hips aren't universal-jointed, so the legs are kinda limited. But the figure has it working in other departments.
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.

Novelist Fuentes to speak, Oct. 18
Posted October 10, 2007; 04:34 p.m.
Carlos Fuentes, one of the most eminent writers in the Spanish-speaking world, will present a lecture on Mexico's history at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, in McCosh 10.
Fuentes' lecture, "A Panoramic View of the History of Mexico," will survey the country's history from Indian civilizations to the present day, addressing formative cultural and political events.
Fuentes' works include "Where the Air Is Clear," "The Death of Artemio Cruz," "A Change of Skin" and "Terra Nostra." Noted for innovative narrative techniques, Fuentes' novels situate his characters in historical moments, such as the Mexican Revolution, to explore universal themes including the formation of national character and personal identity. He has received many literary honors including the Cervantes Prize, considered the most prestigious award for Spanish-language literature.
In addition to his literary career, Fuentes has held posts in the Mexican government as director of international cultural relations and as ambassador to France. He also has taught at Princeton, Harvard and Brown universities and the University of Cambridge.
Fuentes' talk, which is designated as a Spencer Trask Lecture, is part of the University Public Lectures Series.

Did anyone else order Stratos or the JLU Gotham Criminals from Mattycollector.com yesterday?
I only got the JLU figs but they arrived today even though I only paid for UPS ground. Very impressive and even though they're shipped out from Ontario, they didn't lygag in processing the orders like HTS does.
Target has the SW Mighty Muggs at the register end cap now. I grabbed one Snowtrooper, left a second one and two Shockies.
Last night before closing I picked up the 3 Cantina aliens legacy figures at TRU Van Nuys. There was one more Trinto Duaba, but no Luke, Han, Ben, or Jawa. I was surprised to see them so late in the day. They also had the Clone Wars series of marbles for 3.99. These could be fun for kids to actually play with, but expensive just to have and not that impressive. Kinda of look like a gumball machine toy.

|Doors Open
|Live Music by Christopher Paul Stelling
|Film Begins
|Reception in Courtyard
Roof and Courtyard
232 Third St. at 3rd Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11215
F/G to Carroll St. or R to Union
A darkly humorous glimpse into the everyday goings-on in a typical American nursing home, poignantly capturing the realities of growing old. Supported by the Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund.
Filmmakers Brian Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. After the Q and A there is a reception with complimentary beverages.
The Patron Saints (Brian Cassidy, Melanie Shatzky | USA | 72 min.)
After achieving success at the Rotterdam and Toronto film festivals, Rooftop is thrilled to be presenting this hauntingly unconventional and darkly humorous documentary. At once deftly lyrical and disarmingly realistic, The Patron Saints was shot over the course of several years, depicting the harsh and often bizarre reality of old age and conveying a palpable sense of the inescapable onslaught of time.
The Patron Saints is a film about confinement; the residents are forever in a state of stasis, physically confined to their wheelchairs and beds, mentally confined within their ever-deteriorating brains. Any fleeting glimpse of the outside world acquires a strange poignancy by virtue of its otherness, referring to a reality completely estranged from the residents. Yet while the film presents a visceral mediation on mental deterioration and old age, it maintains a poetic sensibility throughout, affording its child-like subjects tenderness and allowing the absurd humor of the situation to percolate.
The Patron Saints find its narrator in the nursing home's youngest resident, Jim, who although is paralyzed from the waist down, remains mentally lucid. From this unique position Jim is able to lead us through the sterile corridors of the home and into the stories of the other residents. Rather than attempt to make any larger statement about the state of elderly care, the film concentrates on the daily minutiae of life in this home: the indistinguishable slop in the cafeteria, the earnest entertainers who come and visit now and again, the individual psychoses and disillusions of the patients which are so ingrained in daily reality they feel like part of the furniture. The Patron Saints places this institution at the center of the film's reality and constructs a tapestry of experience to convey the inescapability of old age and ultimately death which pervades both the home and life itself.

Christopher Paul Stelling
"Stelling's blend of raw folk is flavored with a Southern blues soul. He sings stories of love, death, religion, and salvation, but never sounds like he's preaching. If there's one thing you could say about Stelling, it's that conviction floods his veins, giving spark to his heartfelt performance on each of the album's 10 tracks. Intimate doesn't quite scratch the surface of his openness, his willingness to expose so much in such an eloquent yet emotionally intense manner. Pushing himself to the limits of his range or picking his guitar strings like he's fighting back the devil, Stelling proves to be a truly great songwriter and performer with his embodiment of an old American spirit and classic realism." - Mixtape Muse

The use and exchange of electronic data and documents to support international trade transaction processes, otherwise known as Paperless Trade, is an important means of facilitating trade and one of the keys to reducing trade costs and enabling developing economies to more effectively use of trade as an engine of growth and sustainable development.
This brief describes how TraceVerified has emerged to address the peculiar challenges of the aquaculture sector in Viet Nam, and aims to share relevant insights into implementing an electronic traceability system for policymakers in other countries.
This Brief introduces India's experience in implementing GrapeNet, an IT-enabled traceability system for the grape sector in India. The Brief describes how GrapeNet has emerged to address challenges of the sector in the country, approaches taken in its implementation and its major functions and services. The Brief also highlights the benefits and major success factors in the process of implementing
GrapeNet and concludes by outlining the further development of similar traceability systems for other agricultural products.
This issue of the Trade Insights series provides analysis of the recently released United Nations Regional Commissions (UNRC) Global Trade Facilitation (TF) and Paperless Trade Implementation Survey 2015 for 44 economies and 5 sub-regions across the Asia-Pacific. The survey provides data on the implementation of 38 TF measures, including but not limited to those featured in the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (WTO TFA).
Myanmar is emerging from decades of military rule, central planning and economic isolation as it implements political and economic reforms and, as a result, faces fewer international sanctions. The country has great potential for rapid development due to its vast natural resources, abundant labour force and geostrategic location. Capitalizing on these assets to achieve its goal requires well-implemented regulatory and institutional reform.
This "Policy Guidance Manual on Wastewater Management With a Special Emphasis on Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DEWATS)" has been developed based on experience of the policy makers and in consultations with relevant stakeholders at country and regional level and was shared in its signal version to the regional workshop on Wastewater Management and Sanitation on 2-3 April 2015.
The analysis followed two previous studies carried out between 2012 and 2014 covering North, Central, and South-East Asia, for a total of 25 countries across the continent.
China has grown to become an economic powerhouse and engine of global demand. However, China's projected GDP growth rates are now anticipated to remain below 7% per annum over the next five years. This issue of Trade Insights examines how the 'new normal' of lower economic growth in China will impact on the prospects for trade in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
This brief reviews the evolution of customs reform in China that has led to E-Port, and aims to share relevant insights into the Chinese Single Window experience for policymakers in other countries.
