Latest trail victim calls McGill the real hero
SPOKANE, Wash - A woman whose attack last week helped Spokane Police catch a suspected killer says murder victim Sharlotte McGill is a hero, because she gave a description of her attacker in her last breaths.
Debbie Watkins was walking on the Centennial Trail near Mission Park last week when she was attacked by a man who punched her in the face and head. Josh Gahl was working nearby at Maplewood Gardens and saw the attack. He called 911, then chased the attacker. The attacker, later identified by police as 17-year old Avondre Graham, tried to escape by jumping into the river. Police arrested him and Watkins and Gahl identified him as the attacker.Latest trail victim calls McGill the real hero
Thursday, Spokane Police announced their belief that Graham is also responsible for two other attacks in the area, including an attack on a Gonzaga student August 30th and the murder of 55-year old Sharlotte McGill in May.
McGill's murder had stumped police for months. With no witnesses, the only thing they had to go on was McGill's dying words. She told police she was attacked by a "black man with a bad eye." Graham matches that description; he also lives in the same apartment complex where McGill lived before her death.
"Ultimately, the credit goes to Sharlotte." Watkins said Friday in her first on-camera interview since the attack. "She was able to give a description. That's why we're where we're at and the guy's caught."
Watkins still bears the black eye she received in the attack. She had six stitches in her head and a lot of bumps and bruises.
Friday, Watkins also got to meet the other hero in the case. She and Josh Gahl embraced and she thanked him for his brave actions.
"He's amazing," Watkins said. "I just said, 'I think you're my guardian angel and I'm grateful to you. I'm grateful you were at this place at this time.'"
Spokane Police echoed their support of Gahl's actions that helped them solve one of the most prolific murder cases in years.
"He doesn't know what she's been assaulted with specifically, yet he disregards his own safety to follow this person," said Major Craig Meidl. "Then he gives us the time we need to get there and take him into custody. He's a hero."
Graham is being held in juvenile detention but faces charges as an adult.

Signature Events
Each year, the MRF hosts a series of signature events designed to recognize heroes in the melanoma community, and to raise awareness and much needed funding for melanoma research, including:
Miles for Melanoma 5k Run/Walk at Universal Studios
With the support of Hillary Fogelson (three-time melanoma survivor and author of Pale Girl Speaks), many celebrities and more than 2,000 runners and walkers, this signature event has raised over a half million dollars for melanoma education and research in just two years.
Wings of Hope for Melanoma Galas
Wings of Hope for Melanoma galas are the MRF's premiere fundraising events. In 2012, galas were held in San Francisco, Denver, New York City and Washington, D.C, together raising over one million dollars for melanoma research. In 2013, we expanded to include Wings of Hope for Melanoma galas in Denver and Philadelphia.
Celebrity Golf Classic, Hosted by Kevin Nealon
After losing a dear friend to skin cancer, actor Kevin Nealon, of hit TV shows Saturday Night Live and Weeds, asked his celebrity friends to join our supporters for a round of golf to benefit the MRF. The event was so successful that it we're bringing it back for another year to support research!
The MRF also hosts many other special events, such as patient conferences/webinars and 5k runs and walks. Browse all of our upcoming events.

She was scared of speaking, and so she got buzzed to talk. She wrote papers tipsy, too. Her hands trembled in the flesh and blood spaces. Her finger tips went blue, pressed tightly against the things she had read and reread.
AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM as it is known by anyone who has ever used it, was much more than a communication tool.
Let's be nostalgic today!
"Are you sure you can handle it?" she questioned.
Maybe it's just me, but love just doesn't seem real unless the interactions are taking place somewhere that necessitates some actual human decency.
By the time we were in high school, the Internet wasn't new anymore. However, it was still growing extremely fast and our parents had absolutely no idea how to handle it.
3. What 9/11 is.
If you were a teenager in the early to mid 2000s then you already know that the main form of internet communication was AOL's instant messaging service, AIM.

The junior linebacker is second in the SEC in tackles and is on pace for his second straight 100-tackle season at Georgia, and many draft services see him as a potential early draft choice. So from family and friends to fans who see him on campus, he's already being hounded about his future.
"That's one thing people always want to know," Curran said. "They see you in that position and you're ranked high and having a good season, and they want to know."
Curran said Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno, teammates last season who were both selected in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft, set a nice template for how to handle things, and that's a path Curran plans to follow.
"Knowshon and Stafford, I watched them go through the same thing, and they did a good job handling it," Curran said. "Right now, I'm just focused on the season, honestly. It crosses my mind just like it would anybody else who was in the situation I'm in, but it's a good situation to be in and have to think about. But for the most part, I'm just focused on what got me here, which is working hard and finishing strong, because that's all I really feel like matters."

From rebel to Taiwan's first 'doctor without borders'
The China Post news staff Monday, March 21, 2011, 11:51 pm TWN
But that did not deter him. In a 2007 interview with the Taiwan Blue Magpie Culture & Education Development Association, Soong described his almost stubbornness to join MSF as a "pursuit of a dream that's similar to falling in love — once you start you are obsessed with it." He returned to Taiwan where he received two years of training in inpatient surgery. After that he went to Liverpool to study tropical medicine. In 2004, Soong was on an MSF mission to Liberia.
In the ten months he was stationed in the West African nation, Soong experienced the cruelty of war and what "extreme pressure resistance and adaptability" means. In the first two months in the nation he found himself working in a looted hospital so deprived of resources that he had to double as electrician to setup the power system.
Little did he know that the blackout hospital was in fact a luxury compared to what he would have to work with in times to come. On one occasion, he even operated in a 40 degree Celsius room without an anesthetist and respirator. He used only the most basic anesthetic on the patient for the three-hour surgery. Flies were hovering over the surgery apparatus, sensing the blood, and the patient began to regain consciousness at the end of the operation but before it ended. The nurses had to hold on to the struggling patient as Soong stitched the patient up.
Challenging working environments, however, are not the biggest and the most revealing trial for Soong. After returning to Taiwan in 2005, he joined another MSF mission to Yemen four years later, serving on the front line of a nation in civil war. It was in Yemen when he realized the tragedy of war and the human limitation.
"There was a time when government artillery hit a park full of playing children," Soong recalled in a 2010 interview with the Epoch Times. "Kids were sent in one by one, some were coughing blood, some had their guts blown open, the faces of some were not recognizable."
Soong tried hard to save the children and their mothers but many were lost. When he told the bad news to a deceased girl's father, he saw the emptiness and sadness in his eyes. "Who is worse? The dead or the living? Everyone loses," he said.
It was then he realized how limited his power to change the world or help others was. "I gradually realized that the purpose of giving yourself to others is not to change them. Panic in disasters is not easily changeable," Soong said in a Commonwealth Magazine interview. "What gives us the right to change other people's course of life? Then if all seems to be hopeless, do we still continue to serve and to give? My answer is yes, because only when we give to others can we realize how small we really are, and only then can we humbly face the difficulties in our lives."

Ferroelectric PbTiO3 nanostructures onto Si-based substrates with size and shape control

A bottom-up approach based on the use of a microemulsion-assisted chemical solution deposition method, previously developed for the fabrication of PbTiO3 nanostructures onto single crystal SrTiO3 substrates, is used here on polycrystalline Pt/Si-based substrates, aiming at their integration with the current microelectronics technology. This bottom-up approach not only does not produce any damage to the nanostructures, thus not affecting noticeably their ferroelectric properties, but also solves some of the problems associated to those approaches that use the microstructural instability of ultrathin films, where islands with different shapes and sizes (single or bimodal log-normal distributions) are obtained. In this case, normal (Gaussian) size distributions are obtained, with average lateral sizes of ~70 nm, weakly depending on the solution concentration. These results show that the growth process of the nanoparticles takes place independently from one another inside the isolated micelles of the precursor solution, whose shape and size distribution therefore control effectively those of the PbTiO3 nanostructures.

Girls region soccer
3A, Eustis 5, River Ridge 1: The Royal Knights' best season in school history ended Tuesday night with a tough loss at Eustis in the region finals.
"I'm very proud of them," coach Skip Glover said. "It's one of those deals — we weren't just happy to be here. We thought we had a chance. But not matter what, they're still my girls, and I'm proud of them."
Eustis came out firing against River Ridge (18-5-1). The Panthers scored early when a miscommunication on defense let Eustis chip the ball over the top and into the back of the net.
The Royal Knights pressed after that to try to even it up but fell into mistakes and fell behind more.
"We just got out of our rhythm a little bit," Glover said. "They took advantage of it."
River Ridge got its only goal late in the contest. Junior Sarah Olin set up senior Nicole Screnock, who pounded it into the net for her 20th goal of the season.
Region boys soccer
3A, Land O'Lakes 4, Fivay 0: Gators senior Nathan Dalton delivered one of the top performances in his career, scoring a hat trick and adding an assist to lift Land O'Lakes (17-2-2) past Fivay (14-9-5) in the region quarterfinals.
"He was fantastic for us," coach Mark Pearson said. "He really did everything we needed him to do."
His pass to Andy Garcia 15 minutes into the game set up Garcia's 25-yard strike from the right side of the box.
"We just got on a roll from there," Pearson said.
The Gators outshot Fivay 31-2 to cruise to the victory.
Dalton added two goals before scoring on what Pearson called a "fantastic strike" from 30 yards out to seal the game.
Boys basketball
Mitchell 69, Central 63: Jake Driscoll, one of Pasco County's top players, exploded for 23 points to lead the Mustangs. It was his best performance since returning earlier this month from an arm injury that cost him much of his senior season. Jordan Dong added 15 points for Mitchell, while Rudy Robinson had 23 for Central.
Ridgewood 58, River Ridge 41: The Rams pulled away in the fourth, outscoring River Ridge 18-6 to coast to their fifth win in a row. Adam Ibrahim led Ridgewood with 17 points. John Childs led the Royal Knights with 16.
HomeTeam Hotshots
Standout performances from Tuesday night
Nathan Dalton, Land O'Lakes: Senior scored a hat trick and assisted on the other goal in a 4-0 win over Fivay in the region quarterfinals.
Connor Spencer, Sunlake: Freshman scored two goals against Gulf, giving him three goals in his past two games.
Matt Campbell, Springstead: Scored twice in the Eagles' 3-1 win over Ridgeview, giving him 28 goals on the year.
Anna Poholek, Springstead: Standout sophomore set an Eagles' single-season record with 192 rebounds. She helped Springstead knock off Central 39-29 in the Class 6A, District 6 tournament.
By the numbers
5 Girls basketball players who scored in double figures in Gulf's 81-12 Class 5A, District 8 win over Hudson. Kadejah Huggins-Saunders led the way with 24 points
4 Sunlake boys players who had double-digit scoring nights in an 81-50 win over Fivay: Jonuel Martinez (20 points), Pedro Pabon (17), Brendan Huynh (13) and Chris Gerbino (12)
7 3-pointers made by Ridgewood in a convincing boys basketball win over River Ridge
9 Games since Rudy Robinson had scored 20-plus points before the Central senior dropped 23 on Mitchell
19 Scoring average of Jake Driscoll since his return from an arm injury. Mitchell is 2-1 in that span.
Standout performance? Milestone achievement? Coaches are asked to call 1-800-333-7505, ext. 8123 no later than 11 each night to ensure their team is included in our roundup of memorable performances.

Funny but a bad idea.
We shouldn't discriminate against any enthusiasts. Even if this means letting in a few idiots (aka members who start "SRT-4 Rules" threads). These members eventually get banned anyway.
But people come here to learn and have fun. You shouldn't have to be pre-knowledgeable about Subaru's or forums to be here.......it's a learning experience in itself!

Perhaps, the questions don't need to be technically oriented though, really just asking questions about proper etiquette perhaps... or anything really.

I think its a good idea. It could have really basic questions that could be found by doing a little reading on the site such as "Is it good to put a BOV or CAI on a WRX?". A quiz would just keep people out until they lurked for a while and really got an idea of what the sites about. I think alot of people just see clubwrx and click join without knowing anything about the site and then ask questions that have been covered 300 million times.
That could be a pretty cool idea...

Sor Singyu stops Banal, claims vacant WBO bantamweight crown
By Dennis Principe
Thailand's Pungluang Sor Singyu achieved what hundreds of Thai boxers failed to do on Philippine soil, and that is to win a bout. The 2nd-ranked Sor Singyu made the victory sweeter as he captured the vacant WBO bantamweight crown by stopping Filipino top contender AJ "Bazooka" Banal in the 9th round Saturday night at the MOA Arena in Pasay City.
The 24-year old Sor Singyu started slowly as Banal was able to connect some counter blows and body shots. An accidental clash of heads in the third round resulted in an ugly cut on Banal's right eyebrow that eventually served as Sor Singyu's target. Sor Singyu slowly gained momentum by relentlessly attacking Banal with combinations though he got caught with stiff jabs and uppercuts by a backpedalling Banal. In the 6th, Banal was winning the round with good uppercuts & 1-2 combinations but was later assessed a point for low blow. Sor Singyu's plodding style eventually paid off as he connects a strong right that nearly threw Banal off ring. Referee Tony Weeks however ruled it as a slip but Sor Singyu, sensing that Banal was in deep trouble, tried to go for the kill. Banal tried to fight back but the exchanges resulted in another fall with Weeks administering a mandatory count. A dazed Banal was able to stand up but Weeks waved off the fight at 1:45 of the 9th canto. At the time of stoppage, Judges Raul Caiz, Jr. and Levi Martinez had Sor Singyu ahead, 76-75 while Robert Hoyle saw Banal leading, 77-74.
The win improves Sor Singyu's record to 43-1, with 28 knockouts while Banal drops to 28-2-1 with 20 KOs. Banal was also Sor Singyu's 17th Filipino victim.

Tips for Post-LASIK Treatment and Recovery
At Joffe Custom LASIK, we are committed to providing safe and effective technology to every patient. Additionally, we want to educate our patients about LASIK, the process and our technology so they feel comfortable in taking the next step with Custom LASIK.
One of the wonderful things about LASIK is the relatively quick recovery time. Some general medical procedures or surgeries can take weeks, if not months, to recover. However, with LASIK, many patients can drive to work the next day after treatment.

Post-Treatment and Recovery
After the LASIK procedure, patients can see but images may appear slightly blurry and the eyes need to rest. Patients will need someone to drive them home and it is strongly recommended that they rest for the remainder of the day. However, the next morning many patients can see a dramatic difference in their vision, allowing them to return to natural daily activity like driving and work.
The process is different, and longer, for the PRK procedure. PRK is a slightly different procedure which has a more complex healing process. For more information about the PRK procedure and recovery process, please contact and we will be happy to explain in detail.
Our medical staffs are committed to your total LASIK experience – from first exam to after treatment. We monitor you after treatment to ensure you stay on a healthy and appropriate healing tract, all for no additional cost.
The Joffe vision team will schedule multiple post-treatment exams at our vision clinic. At these exams, our Optometrist will examine your vision and analyze different parts of your eye to confirm that there are absolutely no issues with your recovery.

Attorney remembered for integrity, tenacity
Bob Johnston showed great respect for the law in 1980 as a young prosecutor in Allegheny County, Westmoreland County Senior Judge Daniel Ackerman recalled.
Robert I. Johnston, 65, of Greensburg, died Saturday, April 27, 2013, after a five-year battle with cancer.
Ackerman said he and his law partner, Richard Galloway, were defending a homicide suspect when Mr. Johnston displayed professional integrity.
Under a recent change, a defendant's written confession could not be sent back with a jury.
"Here was Bob approaching us during deliberations saying he could not locate the defendant's written confession and admitting it must have mistakenly been sent back along with jurors," Ackerman said. "What impressed me was that Bob could have kept his mouth shut, no one would have known anything. But he gave up that advantage voluntarily because of his integrity and commitment to the rule of law."
Shortly after, Mr. Johnston joined the partners' practice in Westmoreland County.
"Bob was an excellent lawyer whose paramount concern was always to protect and advance the integrity of our profession," Westmoreland President Judge Gary Caruso said.
Mr. Johnston's calm demeanor and humility camouflaged his tenacious spirit, said his wife, Jacque. It took about three years before he got the 2010 diagnosis for pain in his foot and leg.
"He was diagnosed with lung cancer that metastasized into the bones of his left foot and leg," she said. "Bob fought it for as long as he could. ... He read everything he could on it and tried whatever he could to give him the best chance he had. We did yoga together four days a week for the last five years up until August, when he couldn't do it anymore."
A friend introduced them. Mr. Johnston was a Duquesne Law School graduate and she was a buyer for Kaufmann's department store. They married in 1977. "When he called for the first date, we talked for hours. He had a great ability to talk and listen to others. ... He was a great communicator, and I'll really miss that," she said.
One of Mr. Johnston's cases that gained national attention was his 1982 prosecution of Gary Kunish, a Vandergrift bar owner, for killing bartender Jacqueline Simpson. Her body was never found. But Mr. Johnston won a jury verdict of involuntary manslaughter.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by son Adam and his wife, April, and three grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held May 25 in St. Joseph's Chapel at Seton Hill College.

Music Freedom Day salutes Arab demonstrators
By Jason Rhodes
ZURICH (Reuters Life!) - Musicians in the Middle East will pay tribute to the Arab uprising and commemorate the death of an Egyptian musician during the Cairo demonstrations as part of this year's international Music Freedom Day on Thursday.
Music Freedom Day, the brainchild of Freemuse, an independent organization advocating freedom of expression for music makers worldwide, is bringing together artists in over 20 countries to highlight the plight of colleagues around the globe who suffer censorship, imprisonment and even death.
"It may not be difficult to silence the individual musician but you can't really silence their songs," Freemuse co-founder Ole Reitov told Reuters by phone. "We've seen with many of the songs or singers that have had problems that although they may put the musicians in prison, their songs somehow survive."
The event kicked off with concerts in Mumbai and Kabul and ends with a session in New York and special broadcasting programs in Canada after events in Egypt and Lebanon paying tribute to Egyptian musician Ahmed Basiouni, who died on the fourth day of demonstrations in Cairo earlier this year.
Freemuse was founded in the late 1990s to document censorship in music, raise awareness of the problem and offer support to the musicians and their families.
"Artists all over the world would speak up for all kinds of things but they never spoke out about their own conditions, so we would have writers speaking out on behalf of Salman Rushdie but you never heard Bono or Youssou N'Dour or anyone else talking about all the repression that took place with some of their colleagues," Reitov said from his office in Copenhagen.
While huge organizations like Amnesty International campaign on behalf of political prisoners, Freemuse, which has just six full-time and part-time staff and struggles for funding, remains the only international organization dedicated to campaigning against music censorship. Continued...

Pittsburgh's Mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, wrapped up Earth Week today announcing that ten city waste haulers will go green with the pilot-installation of diesel particulate filters, thanks to a partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and local clean air and water leaders.
The advanced emission reduction technology, funded by a $127,000 EPA grant and managed in part by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association (MARAMA), will reduce toxic particulate matter in each waste hauler by more than 85 percent.
"Through the use of bio-diesel fuel and now diesel particulate filters, we are aggressively reducing the city's carbon foot print," Mayor Ravenstahl said. "With these cutting-edge green technologies, we are improving the quality of life for the people of Pittsburgh."
Currently, bio-diesel makes up more than 30 percent of Pittsburgh's purchased diesel fuel.
A dynamic coalition led by the Mayor, the EPA, MARAMA and the Allegheny County Partnership to Reduce Diesel Pollution (headed by the Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP) and Clean Water Action (CWA) are collaborating to make our region cleaner and to educate citizens of the harmful effects of air pollution.
"Federal emissions standards have made brand new diesel vehicles cleaner than ever before, but we the reality is we still have older, dirtier vehicles on the road," said Ashley Deemer, CWA executive director. "With this technology, workers and residents will no longer be harmed by the black smoke billowing from waste hauler tailpipes."
Last May, the American Lung Association ranked Pittsburgh second to Los Angeles as the worst region for particulate pollution. This project will assist the region in reaching the EPA's fine particulate standards.
"Dangerous particulate emissions in diesel exhaust pose a serious health threat to local residents," said Rachel Filippini, GASP executive director. "Scores of medical studies show that microscopic particles and toxins in diesel exhaust are associated with cardiovascular death, lung cancer, and the triggering of asthma attacks -- especially in children, the elderly and people who live and work near buses, trucks and other diesel equipment."

I've read "The Pit and the Pendulum" three times and I still don't know the major and minor themes of the story. I was thinking about death and perserverance but what is the minor theme and what is the major?
If you can post a summary of that story on to here, then maybe I could help. I haven't read that story, so I have co clue about its major and minor themes.
.......The unnamed narrator laments that he is "sick unto death" after agents of the Spanish Inquisition in Toledo used torture while questioning him. When they unbind him, they allow him to sit while robed judges sentence him to death. Thereafter he cannot make out what they are saying; he can hear only a low hum while their lips move with "immoveable resolution."
.......In the apartment where he sits, the slight movement of the black draperies unnerves him, but seven burning candles hearten him, like rescuing angels, until nausea overcomes him as he realizes the hopelessness of his predicament. He begins to long for the "sweet rest there must be in the grave." Suddenly, the judges disappear, the candles go out, and darkness and stillness prevail.
.......He had passed out, he says. When he awakens, he remembers that tall figures had carried him down to a place of flatness, dampness, and madness. He is lying on his back in darkness, wondering where he is–in a dungeon to await public execution? On the very day of his trial, an execution had taken place. Rising, he feels around in all directions, perspiring heavily from fear, and looks for a single ray of light. But there is only the darkness. He recalls ghastly stories about the fates of Inquisition victims held in Toledo dungeons. Would he be starved to death–or worse? This much he could be sure of: Death awaited him. His hands find a wall. He wanders around the dungeon on its wet, slippery floor, feeling as he goes and calculating distances, to determine the size and layout of the place. After he stumbles and falls, he does not get up but instead falls asleep.
.......When he awakens, he finds bread and water next to him. He eats and drinks eagerly. Then he resumes walking and feeling, determining that the perimeter of his cell measures 50 yards. Such information holds no hope of benefiting him, but out of curiosity he continues to find out more. While walking around the cell, he again loses his footing on the slimy floor and falls, ending up at the edge of a circular pit. When he gropes at the edge, a loose rock tumbles into the chasm, sending back echoes after it strikes walls and splashes into water. A door opens and closes overhead, admitting light to the cell for a few seconds.
.......The narrator is now extremely anxious; even the sound of his own voice frightens him. He crawls back to a wall and remains there, fearing that there could be other pits in the dungeon. After several hours, he falls asleep again. Upon awakening, he again finds bread and water. Terribly thirsty, he gulps down the water. When he feels suddenly drowsy, he assumes the water contained a drug. He sleeps a long time. When he wakes up, a sulfurous light enables him to see his chamber–only about half as big as he thought. He attributes his error in calculating its size to unwittingly counting his steps twice. Also, contrary to his earlier conclusion that his cell had an irregular shape, he discovers that it is square. He also discovers that the walls are made of iron plates, not masonry. On the walls are frightful sights: "Figures of fiends in aspects of menace, with skeleton forms, and other more really fearful images. . . ." In the center of the floor is the pit–as it turns out, the only one in the cell.
.......As he observes his surroundings, the narrator is lying strapped to a board so that he can move only his head and his left arm, which he uses to eat food from a dish set next to him. Because the food is highly salted, he becomes very thirsty. But this time, there is no water provided to quench his thirst.
.......The ceiling of the cell is extremely high–between 30 and 40 feet. On it he sees a personified painting of Time. But instead of holding a scythe, as in the traditional depictions, Time is holding a pendulum like the ones on clocks. Something strange then happens: The pendulum begins to swing slowly. The narrator becomes frightened at first, but then loses interest in the sight and shifts his attention elsewhere–in particular to huge rats coming up from the pit, apparently after detecting the presence of the narrator through their keen sense of smell.
......."It required much effort and attention to scare them away," the narrator says.
.......He again looks up and notices that the pendulum is descending–and sweeping back and forth at a great speed. The bob of the pendulum is a crescent blade of gleaming steel. As the pendulum swings, it makes a hissing sound. For many hours–for many days–the pendulum descends, getting so close that the narrator can feel it fanning him and smell the odor of the steel. Suddenly, he becomes calm and accepts his fate.
.......Then he faints. When he opens his eyes, he has no idea how long he has been unconscious. However, the pendulum has descended no further. Raging hunger overcomes him, and he snatches up a morsel left by the rats. For a moment, he becomes hopeful.
.......Unfortunately, the pendulum resumes its descent. It is aimed at his heart. When it is three inches above him, he struggles violently. Then he has new hope: Would the pendulum cut the strap binding him? It was a single, continuous length of material enveloping him in all directions.
.......Meanwhile, rats are swarming around him, apparently waiting for his death. He wonders, "To what food have they been accustomed in the well?" They nip at his left hand, seeking the spicy residue of the food he had eaten. This activity gives him an idea, one that could save his life. He passes his fingers across the food dish to pick up oily food remnants and spices, then rubs his bindings with his fingers. A moment later, the rats are upon him–and soon nip and bite through the bindings. He is free!
.......After he slides off the board, the pendulum stops swinging, and, the narrator says, "I beheld it drawn up, by some invisible force, through the ceiling." Apparently, he concludes, someone has been watching him. Did he escape the pendulum only to be subjected to another form of torture?
.......At that moment, he notices that the sulfurous light in the cell is coming through a fissure running around the base of the walls. He also notices that the images on the wall are now staring at him with fiery demonic eyes and that the smell of hot metal has invaded the cell. It is the iron walls; they are heating up. To avoid the intense heat, he moves to the edge of the pit. Because of the glare from the hot ceiling, he is able to see to the bottom of the well. The sight "burned itself in upon my shuddering reason. Oh! for a voice to speak– oh! horror!–oh! any horror but this! With a shriek, I rushed from the margin, and buried my face in my hands–weeping bitterly."
.......As the heat in the cell increases, the walls begin to close in, apparently to force him into the pit, and burn his his back. At the edge of the pit, he looks away and waits for the end. Then he hears the blare of trumpets, the hum of voices, and the grating of the walls. They are moving back! Just as begins to fall into the pit, an arm reaches down and pulls him to safety. His rescuer is General Lasalle, of the French army. The French forces–enemies of the Inquisition–have invaded Toledo and taken control
The theme of this story would be the horror torture and being at the mercy of cruel people.

The claim comes after it said it had repeatedly asked the US to take action over abuses of prisoners by US soldiers at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.
Both US and British media have published several photographs showing alleged abuse by coalition soldiers.
The UK Ministry of Defence has said it is investigating the abuse claims.
The ICRC's director of operations Pierre Kraehenbuehl said "concerns and recommendations" had been made to British authorities.
However he declined to be specific about when or what issues were addressed because the ICRC report to British authorities has not been made public.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence later said the claims by the ICRC were contained in an interim report that dated back to before the British opened their own detention centre at Sheibah, south of Basra.
'Taken aback'
Mr Kraehenbuehl added that British forces were regularly in touch with the ICRC, and would take on board any concerns the committee may have.
"If they raise particular points, we would take action to meet their concerns and to meet our obligations under the Geneva Convention and international law," he said.
Officials from the Foreign Office and Downing Street were "taken aback" by the ICRC's statement, and were unable to "confirm, deny or respond", said BBC political correspondent Carole Walker.
The Conservatives on Saturday demanded that the government should reveal exactly when it became aware of the abuse claims.
Tory Shadow Defence Secretary Nicholas Soames said: "If, as it seems, the International Committee of the Red Cross raised the possibility of the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners with the British Government quite some time ago, then this must be a matter of gravest concern.
"Number 10, the Secretary of State for Defence and the Foreign Office must say whether or not these questions were indeed raised with them and what actions were subsequently taken".
Mr Soames demanded that the secretary of state for defence, Geoffrey Hoon, should make a full and detailed statement on this and other allegations about treatment of Iraq abuse to parliament on Monday.
The Daily Mirror, which published photos allegedly showing abuse by UK soldiers, revealed more details in Saturday's paper.
Questions have been raised over the authenticity of the photos.
But a soldier with links to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment - the third to talk to the newspaper - told of "appalling beatings" of prisoners.
During one incident, "Soldier C" told the Mirror, a corporal placed a sandbag over a suspect's face and poked his fingers in the victim's eyes until he screamed with pain.
US pressure
In the US, pressure is mounting on US Secretary of Defence Ronald Rumsfeld over his handling of the affair.
The Red Cross has been visiting Abu Ghraib every five or six weeks since last year.
The ICRC, which traditionally does not speak publicly about its prisoner visits, will not say exactly what problems were found at Abu Ghraib.
The most recent visit took place at the end of March.


text: THE FANTASY DISH By: David Kovsky, Pistonsforum.com Staff Writer Edition II (11-13-2006) Welcome back. Week three of the 2005-2006 NBA season is in queue and it's time to spread some fantasy know-how in the second edition of The Fantasy Dish. My life was pretty boring over the last 10 days, so there is not much to recap. The following is a list of 5 players to BUY and 5 players to SELL. If you want to compete for a fantasy title, you need to manage your portfolio. Before we dive in, I want to leave you with one quick piece of advice, resist the temptation to shake up the core of your team this early in the season. You drafted certain players for a reason and if they are slumping right now, it can get dicey. But, I implore you to stay the course for one more week before you start reevaluating your team's central theme. BUY: 1. Larry Hughes: People are getting very anxious about Larry Hughes' production right now. His numbers are down across the board and people are pointing to the LeBron James affect. Not so fast my friends. Hughes is learning a new system right now and it takes more than 6 games. Check out how his numbers steadily improved during his first year in Washington. Over his first 15 games he was averaging roughly 8 point per game. But, once he learned the system he finished out the season notching nearly 13 points per game for the Wiz. Now is a great time to get him on the cheap. 2. Luke Ridnour: Coming into this season Ridnour was a favorite sleeper in leagues across the plains of Fantasyland. He got drafted with people expecting an improvement on his 10.1 point and 5.9 dish average from last year. It hasn't materialized yet and many Ridnour owners are looking to cut their losses and hop on a Jose Calderon or Leandro Barbosa bandwagon. I think his numbers will go up, particularly seeing that Rashard Lewis did not miss much time with his shoulder injury. You should be able to easily pluck Ridnour from a short sighted GM. 3. Joel Przybilla: The Portland big man was supposed to be a steady work horse in the trenches for fantasy teams in search of rebounds and blocks. Przybilla has been a huge disappointment so far and has not produced double digits in points or rebounds yet. If that isn't discouraging enough, Theo Ratliff yanked down 14 boards in the Blazers' last game. In the short run, Ratliff might eat into Przybilla's minutes but in the long run, Ratliff's day has come and gone and it is Przybilla's job in the middle. So far the only bright spot in drafting Przybilla has been his 2.2 blocks per game. Trade for him if you can, his numbers can't get any worse and he stands to improve as the season progresses. 4. Desmond Mason: When Mason got traded to New Orleans everybody thought he would see a ton of burn and have some hugely inflated numbers on the woeful Hornets. So far, the Cowboy has averaged 7 points, 2.6 rebound and 0.4 dishes in 20.4 minutes of burn. By contrast, Bokie Nachbar, the starting SF, is averaging 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 dishes on 24.4 minutes of action. I promise that minute distribution won't last because Mason is a way better cager than Nachbar. If someone is getting impatient with Mason, take advantage of them. 5. Emeka Okafor: Last year's Rookie of the Year is struggling a bit right now and he is being pushed hard by newcomer, Sean May. There are even rumors swirling that Bernie Bickerstaff is not happy with Okafor's conditioning and that has led to his recent down turn in points and rebounds. Listen, Okafor is nasty. He was nasty last year, he will be nasty this year and he will definitely be nasty for years to come. If you can find someone dismayed by Okafor's play right now, and I bet that you can, go get him and just smile when he goes on another 15-20 game streak of double-doubles. SELL 1. Baron Davis: B-Diddy played 28 games last year and 18 games the year before. With 6 games already under his belt this season, in which he is averaging 17.2 points and 8.5 assists per game, he is ripe to be moved at peak value. If you wait much longer, you are assuming a serious injury risk. 2. Vince Carter: If you are treading softly around B-Diddy's fragile body, you better tiptoe around VC. One of two things will definitely happen to Vinsanity. Either he will get hurt or he will stop trying. Sell him now. 3. Marcus Camby: Marcus Camby is a monster fantasy stud. His rebounding and blocking acumen is a hard match for any other big man in the game. On top of boards (12.8) and blocks (3.2), Camby is averaging 15.8 points per contest—serious stud numbers. It is so hard to part with numbers like that, but at the same time, right now is when you can get some serious talent for him. Trade Camby for a "Magloire plus one" or "Okafor plus one" kind of deal. When he goes down with a hangnail you'll be thanking me. 4. Mehmet Okur: I love Okur. I loved him when he was a chubby little kid in Rick Carlisle's dog house and then again was he was a chubby older kid in Larry Brown's doghouse. And, today, I love him as a skinny stud that looks like he should still be fat on Jerry Sloan's injury-plagued Jazz. Okur is averaging 22.6 points and 10 rebounds per game but Boozer and Kirilenko are both sidelined with injuries. As they work their way back into the fold, expect Okur's numbers to go down. If you can move him now, you might be able to fetch more than your money's worth. 5. Larry Brown's Team: Until Larry Brown can settle on a starting lineup, stay away from his players. It's only been 2 weeks and Larry is already launching negative salvos at his starting PG, at Jerome James, and at the level of talent he was given to work with. I can't wait until he tells Peter Vescey that his dream is really to coach Kobe in Tinsel town. Pound-for-Pound is going to get run out of The Garden within 2 years. In the meantime, avoid his squad until he settles on a rotation. MAILBAG There were no questions this week. If you have any questions, please write to email@example.com.

OLYMPICS ROUNDUP: Focus in Sochi has turned from gloom to athletes, competition
SOCHI, Russia — All the gloom and grim talk leading to the Sochi Olympics at last gave way to more uplifting things.
IOC President Thomas Bach had said it's "time that it finally starts." And so it did Saturday — the first competition since the cauldron was lit.
In all, 98 gold medals will be awarded over the next 16 days, and five were settled on Day 2.
Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen became the oldest individual gold medalist at the Winter Olympics, winning the 10-kilometer sprint — his seventh career gold.
Cross-country skier Marit Bjoergen, also from Norway, captured the women's 15-kilometer skiathlon for her fourth Olympic title. And American snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg, his blonde hair flapping from his helmet, won the first gold medal of the games early Saturday by taking men's slopestyle.
BIATHLON: At age 40, Bjoerndalen became the oldest Winter Olympic gold medalist in an individual sport, bringing him within one gold of the all-time mark of eight held by Norwegian cross-country skiing great Bjorn Daehlie. He was followed by Dominik Landertinger of Austria and Jaroslav Soukup of Czech Republic.
"I am in super form," Bjoerndalen said. "I prepared well for this and I am feeling strong."
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: Bjoergen's gold was tempered by grief. The brother of teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen died "suddenly and unexpectedly" a day earlier, according to Norwegian Olympic officials. Bjoergen, joined by teammates, sobbed in an embrace after the race.
"We really did a good race for him today," Bjoergen said.
Bjoergen held off silver medalist Charlotte Kalla in the final straightaway to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds, successfully defending her title from Vancouver. Norway's Heidi Weng won the bronze.
"One gold was my goal, so now I can relax a little bit," Bjoergen said.
SNOWBOARDING: Kotsenburg won the first gold of the games. The 20-year-old from Idaho mastered a perilous course in Krasnaya Polyana in slopestyle's Olympic debut. He was king of a 12-man field and a slope that features a large nesting doll — a course Shaun White wanted no part of.
Kotsenburg wowed the judges with a daring, spinning maneuver in which he rotated 4? times. Staale Sandbech of Norway won the silver medal, and Mark McMorris of Canada took the bronze.
"I can't even describe the feeling," Kotsenburg said. "It's so cool."
SPEEDSKATING: Sven Kramer of the Netherlands set an Olympic record and defended his speedskating title in the men's 5,000 meters before his country's king, queen and prime minister.
Kramer has been bedeviled at the Olympics, notably in Vancouver when his coach pointed him to the wrong lane in the 10,000. But on this day he surged around the oval, winning in 6 minutes, 10.76 seconds and leading a Dutch sweep in which he was followed by Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma.
"That Sven was able to deliver despite such pressure, it leaves me speechless," King Willem-Alexander said.
ALPINE: Bode Miller of the U.S. and Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway emerged as favorites on a treacherous downhill course. Miller and Svindal finished 1-2 in the final downhill training run. Asked of his objectives Saturday, Miller said: "Um, not kill myself was primary."
HOCKEY: The U.S. won the opener of the Olympic women's hockey tournament, defeating Finland 3-1 behind Hilary Knight's goal 53 seconds into the game and Jesse Vetter's 14 saves. The Americans can reach the semifinals by beating Switzerland on Monday. Canada beat Switzerland 5-0.
BOBSLED: Just four months ago, Lauryn Williams thought about quitting bobsledding after her very first ride. But she stuck around, and another Olympic medal may be her reward.
Williams' improbable story grew Saturday when she was selected to push the USA-1 sled driven by Elana Meyers. That decision legitimizes her chance of becoming only the second person to win gold in two sports at the summer and winter games, after she helped the U.S. win the 4x100-meter relay at the London Games two years ago.
"I would have bet anybody any amount of money that no person could walk on this team as a rookie and make the team, let alone actually be in USA-1.," U.S. coach Todd Hays said. "But you look at Lauryn's resume and it tells you what type of athlete she is."
Lolo Jones, another track Olympian-turned-bobsledder, and the person who recruited Williams to sliding, will push the USA-3 sled. Jones, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Williams, of Rochester, Pa., are becoming the ninth and 10th Americans to compete in both the summer and winter Olympics.

'Bachelor,' 'Bachelorette' face discrimination lawsuit
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette came under fire Wednesday for its casting practices, as two black men filed a lawsuit accusing the ABC reality dating series of racial discrimination.
Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson filed suit in Nashville, arguing that the fact that a person of color has never been the central figure on either show over a combined 23 seasons amounts to a pattern of discrimination. The suit was filed against the network along with Warner Horizon Television, Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and the shows' creator, Michael Fleiss.
"The shows' complete lack of color is no accident," according to a copy of the lawsuit posted on the Deadline: Hollywood website. "These applicants were denied the same opportunity to become the next Bachelor or Bachelorette as white contestants not because they were unsuitable for the role or could not contribute to the shows' 'eclectic mix,' but solely because of the perceived risk that casting a Bachelor or Bachelorette who is a person of color would alienate the show's majority-white viewership."
Claybrooks and Johnson say they weren't given the same opportunity as white men to compete for the role of The Bachelor during a casting session in August, the Associated Press reported.
"I only wanted a fair shot at the part," Claybrooks said. "Looking back at how I was treated at the casting call last year, it was clear that that wasn't possible. I never even had a chance."
Both shows have been criticized for lacking diversity.
An ABC representative says the network doesn't comment on pending litigation and a Next employee referred a reporter to Warner Horizon, which issued a statement late Wednesday.
"This complaint is baseless and without merit. In fact, we have had various participants of color throughout the series' history, and the producers have been consistently — and publicly —vocal about seeking diverse candidates for both programs. As always, we continue to seek out participants of color for both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette," the statement says.

Hi Ladies,
I know the answer to my question is most likely "wait and see", but I thought I'd see if any of you had some other thoughts. I got a BFP yesterday at 11 DPO. I tested again this morning (on 3 tests ) and they were all positive and darker than yesterdays. But, I also started to have some light pink spotting/light bleeding. It is mostly when I wipe, but a little on my liner too.
Here's is a pic. From bottom to top: wondflo on 11 DPO, wondflo on 12 DPO, FRER on 11 DPO, FRER on 12 DPO, CBE on 12 DPO (I think this one has a lower sensitivity).
I have a doctor's appt today for a really bad sore throat and I'm gonna ask for a beta.
The uncertainty is not easy for me to handle.
I'm sorry that you're having some spotting and there isn't really anything that anyone here can tell you for certain. But I can say that spotting around the time of expected AF is pretty common during pregnancy. I had spotting with my first then and again a week later. I called the birth center I planned to use and the mw there simply told me that about 50% of women spot during pregnancy and only half of those will m/c. She told me to relax, rest, and wait b/c there was nothing to be done. It wasn't very helpful to hear at the time, but unfortunately she is right. You're already taking progesterone supplements to sustain the corpus luteum so if you're going to m/c it's likely due to a chromosomal abnormality instead of low progesterone. Darkening HPT's- strictly speaking- don't mean anything in terms of viability. However, anecdotally speaking, women will tell you that HPT's tend to lighten with an approaching m/c. There has been one study done that concluded the time it took for the test line to show was correlated to the level of hCG. So if your tests are turning positive quicker, that could be a good sign. Lastly, if your temps remain high through this time that is a very encouraging sign. Generally with a m/c- especially a chemical pregnancy- you will see falling temps, spotting, then possibly cramping. If the spotting does not increase to full red bleeding and you do not experience cramping with it and your temps remain high, then I'd say all these things together are good signs. Of course, the betas will also tell you if things are looking good. Keep us posted please!
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Thanks Jaimee! I wanted to temp this morning, but I woke up at 330 with insomnia, so I didn't temp. I will tomorrow though. And, I like to hear that 50% of pregnant women experience some spotting. I did with my first, but it was much different. it started on 7dpo and ended on 12 dpo. Only time will tell this time. I'm going to do my best to stay positive b/c right now I AM pregnant :)
Oh and on both the FRER and CBE today, the second line showed up right away, about the same time as the control. So, that sounds like a good sign.
I just noticed you're in Chicago! I'm down in Urbana! We're practically neighbors! I hope you can get a beta done today (since it's Saturday) and then get another on Monday or Tuesday to see what's happening.
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
I spotted for 12 days with cramping with my daughter. The doctor guessed I started spotting at about 6 days before my missed period and continued for 6 days after my missed period. The cramps were heavy enough that I was taking aspirin which I realized after I found out I was pregnant was probably adding to my spotting because it is a blood thinner, whoops!
I agree with Jaimee about getting a beta. That's how the doctor confirmed I was pregnant and not having a miscarriage, or ectopic which is what I thought it was. I got mine done at the ER on either Sat or Sun, I can't remember which it was, but then another on the next Monday at my clinic. Definitely put my mind at ease.
Good luck!!!!
Oh yeah, and my spotting was like a light period. If that helps.
Thanks BaileyB. Here's an update: I went to acupuncture and my acupuncturist did moxa and gave me a stick of moxa to do at home once a day to help with the spotting. The spotting is nearly gone. If it ends up on my liner it's golden colored. When I see it when I wipe, it's either really watery pink or is a little streaking of pink in creamy/EW CM. I think I wouldn't even notice it if I was scrutinizing.
I went to an internist (not my regular doc) and 1) I have strep throat and 2) he wouldn't do a beta and told me to just call my midwife on Monday. So, that was a little disappointing, but I think since the spotting is really, really light and I'm not cramping, there's probably no harm in waiting until Monday for a blood test. And, if things get worse, I'll just page my midwife tomorrow. In the meantime, I swung by Dollar Tree and bought all the HPTs they had in stock, so I'll be able to know if I'm at least still pregnant until Monday.
Thanks for your responses!
And Jaimee, I went to undergrad in Urbana - I'm actually wearing my Illinois hoodie right now. . Are you affiliated with U of I ? I miss the seeded sourdough baguettes from Strawberry Fields.
Cool about the moxa! My dh is faculty at UI... we just moved here this past August.
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Hope you enjoy it in Urbana. I see you also lived in Baltimore - I did my PhD at Johns Hopkins and lived in Charles village for 5 years. Small world
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Quick update - no more spotting today . TMI, but I actually saw clear/white CM, so that makes me feel way better. I did the moxa this morning and I think it must be helping, or at least not hurting. I took a wondflo and dollar tree test this AM and both were clearly positive, though not super dark nor did they show up super fast, but they both showed up well within the time frame. So, I'm going to not over-analyze that. I emailed my OB to see about a beta tomorrow. I'm having some nausea and cramps, but both could be from the antibiotics I'm taking. So, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic today. Fingers crossed that my betas will come back normal.
ETA: my temp was nice and high this morning (98.9), but could be from my not so great sleep and illness, though I didn't have a fever this morning. Just glad it didn't go down. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/SKJ2011
Thanks for reading.
Well, if you don't have a fever and aren't really feeling sick anymore then I'd say your chart if looking triphasic! But it certainly could be stress from the illness and/or sleep deprivation, too. Either way your chart looks good and I'm glad to hear that the spotting is gone! Yay!
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Yea, your chart looks great! Good luck!
Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I'm feeling much better today in general and I'm going to just try to relax and let life happen instead of trying to force things that I have not control over anyways. I think part of me is just so surprised that I'm pregnant that I don't quite believe it yet and keep expecting AF, kwim?
Another quick update. Temp was still way up this am - my chart looks triphasic to me. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/SKJ2011
Took another dollar store test and the second line started to show up at 30 seconds. No more spotting. So, I'm officially going to join the October DDC. Thanks for all your help!
It certainly does! Congrats! I'm very happy for you! Enjoy your DDC... I now that I have!

Reach out your hand and say, "Thank you." Do this today to a neighbor, a loved one and especially the people who daily safeguard our country, our neighborhood, our families and our homes.
I never thought the day would come when I would say, "We older people need to help the younger people!" Education on the foundations of consequences for your actions, responsibilities, what one nation under God represents. This is dearly needed in these days. We all should never forget the history of this great nation of people and our families' history.
Put down the cellphone, walk away from that computer. Take back our families, our neighborhoods, our evenings. Sit out in the yard with a neighbor and have a cup of coffee, touch base. Walk around town with family or friends.
Take time to share your blessings by helping someone. Regardless of another's beliefs or nationality, always remember, this is a nation of we the people.
Put technology aside. Say hi, thank you, here let me open that door for you; reach out a helping hand. Today.

: videos anyone?
technique videos
I hear so many people in all these threads say that whether it's itchies or product buildup or dandruff, from product being left in, many people struggle with this. And I struggle often times more from scrubbing too hard, or massing hair in directions that it doesn't like to go and then I have sore scalp. Roughing up the hair I think is not good either. I would love some experienced people to do some videos on HOW to scrub/massage the scalp and to see if they continue scrubbing while rinsing the conditioner out. Because for me, scalp health is more important and if we're leaving conditioner on, that's not good. I rinsed for three minutes and still feel like I left stuff in there. the other thing, do you all massage on top of your hair that's no your head or do you move to one side in order to get "inside the hair" and direction on the scalp? I Find my hair when wet is so plastered to my head, that I feel like I"m breaking hairs trying to get inside to my scalp and especially if I try and move around in there. Not a good situation because my hair is medium thickness (not density, the texture) and it's not very pliable when wet. I would love more info on this.

Bentonville, Ark. • Wal-Mart Stores CEO and President Mike Duke plans to step down Feb. 1. The company says Doug McMillon, head of international operations, will succeed him.
Duke, 63, who had been with Wal-Mart since 1995, had been at the helm since February 2009. Duke will stay on as chairman. McMillon, 47, marks the fifth CEO since Wal-Mart's founder Sam Walton, and all of them have been home-grown with years of experience before taking the helm.
McMillon was also elected to the company's board of directors, effective immediately.
McMillon, who succeeded Duke as head of the international business four years ago, is a 23-year company veteran. He started as a summer associate in a Wal-Mart distribution center in 1984 and then in 1990, he rejoined Wal-Mart at a Tulsa, Okla., store. He then moved up the executive ladder, working in a variety of merchandising jobs at the Wal-Mart U.S. division. Before he took over international operations, McMillon served as president and CEO of Sam's Club from 2006 to 2009.

Across the Sacramento River from the California state capital lies West Sacramento, a burgeoning, industrial city home to the Port of West Sacramento. The port is a large, if underused, inland seaway that serves as a hub for the international export of rice and materials such as cement and fertilizer.
During a Sept. 2, 2009, meeting of the West Sacramento City Council it was revealed that Spanish solar power development firm Otras Producciones de Energia Fotovoltaico (OPDE) had opened talks with the city about leasing 160 acres along the port's deep water channel on which to build a 24-megawatt photovoltaic solar power plant. The OPDE is one of the world's largest builders of solar power plants.
In an Aug. 20, 2009, letter to the city, Greg Brehm, director of distributed energy resources for OPDE's U.S. arm, proposed construction of a "single axis tracking solar power generation facility." Should the facility be built, Brehm wrote that in addition to powering 5,000 homes, it would have the environmental impact of taking more than 6,000 cars from the road and would sequester the same amount of carbon as would 8,000 acres of pine forest annually.
Brehm also noted that the 18-month project would create 50 full-time jobs during construction and 10 permanent positions once the facility becomes operational.
If built, the facility would be the largest photovoltaic plant in the nation. Photovoltaic solar power, as opposed to solar thermal, is what most imagine when thinking of solar power. Photovoltaic systems track the sun as it moves across the sky to collect solar radiation via solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. Solar thermal, meanwhile, relies on parabolic mirrors that reflect the sun's rays onto a boiler, which in turn generates steam to turn a turbine. Some solar thermal facilities direct the reflected rays onto oil-filled pipes instead of a boiler. The heated oil is pumped to heat engines, which convert the energy into electricity.

Its been a while, I know, thing is its been a period of change, no longer do work as a Information Architect at Eduserv, after a period of upheaval, the word came down and I moved to the project management team to look after the shortfall. I'm still there.
The jury is still out as to whether this is a good thing, PM'ing isn't something hard to me, and i do get to expand into scrum, as opposed to Prince2 methodologies, I'm not convinced that Prince2 works, in fact, I kind of have a sneaking suspicion that a methodology that focuses on the documentation, where the methodology is one of the (if not the) deliverable, is seriously flawed. Done right it can work for certain projects, done wrong, by the letter with too many 'controls' its all too easy for the methodology to get in the way.
Scrum may be interesting, so far its not been boring.
