Colin Farrell once a suspect: Colin Farrell Suspect
Published: June 19, 2015
Colin Farrell once a suspect: Colin Farrell Suspect, The 39-year-old actor was taken into custody when he was in Sydney, Australia, in his late teens. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he began to question himself when he took a look at the image of the suspect.
The star relived the situation during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with Jimmy and Colin's True Detective co-star Vince Vaughn pretending they were policemen questioning him about what happened.
"How long ago was it, I want to see if the statute of limitations in it…?" Colin joked.
"The case was a guy in a nightclub was… I don't know [the name of the club]… FOR GOD'S SAKE it was a long time ago and I was drunk. I saw a photo-fit of the guy that actually did the crime and it looked remarkably like me and for a second I – because I had had a blackout that night – I wondered, could I have done such a thing? They had bushy eyebrows, a mole on his face, spoke even in 2D with an Irish accent."
Jimmy and Vince then had to guess if the incident was real or had been made up by Colin. Both were sure he was being honest, which he was, with Vince immediately concerned about the situation.
"I'm a little nervous to push too hard because we might have a guy who got away with murder here," he said. "I wanna play a fun game but… I've got a feeling that this really happened to him and I'm afraid. I'm a little afraid of Colin Farrell."
The Irish actor then admitted he was being truthful and had been through the situation. Although it was a long time ago, he can still remember the mounting panic he felt when he first saw the suspect's image, as it was his double.
"They showed me a photo-fit, a pencil sketch of the guy that had attempted to murder, this other gentleman – had beat him up and left him in his own apartment, set the apartment on fire and split, thereby leaving him to burn to death – and it was me. They went, 'What do you think about that picture?' And I went, 'I think I'm in trouble,'" he recalled. "It was terrifying, I was there for about six hours and then thankfully a friend of mine had kept a journal of that particular night and that particular time we were at a party the other side of town doing ecstasy…"

The solution, which contains the nickel free from other metals, is heated, and a solution of sodic hydrate added in slight excess.
sodic nitrate, if used upon soil late in the season, may overcome a difficulty that has been recently noticed.
As sodic acetate and acetic acid did not interfere, it became desirable to make some experiments on the finishing point.
sodic nitrate subcutaneously applied to frogs kills them, in doses of ·026 grm.
That is to say, the stoneware becomes coated with a thin layer or glaze of sodic silicate or soda-glass.
It is prepared by dropping a strong solution of antimony trichloride into a saturated solution of sodic phosphate.
In presence of potassic or sodic chlorate, the blue colour immediately vanishes.
It is now cooled, some hydrochloric acid again added, and the mixture neutralised with sodic carbonate.
The addition of sodic bicarbonate prevents the otherwise inevitable reduction of the silver salt.
sodic phosphate gives a crystalline precipitate of solanine phosphate, if added to a solution of solanine sulphate.

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2017 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.
Description :
Updated polkit packages that fix one security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System
(CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is
available from the CVE link in the References section.
PolicyKit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations.
A race condition was found in the way the PolicyKit pkcheck utility
checked process authorization when the process was specified by its
process ID via the --process option. A local user could use this flaw
to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations and escalate their
privileges. (CVE-2013-4288)
Note: Applications that invoke pkcheck with the --process option need
to be modified to use the pid,pid-start-time,uid argument for that
option, to allow pkcheck to check process authorization correctly.
Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security
Team for reporting this issue.
All polkit users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect.

Sheer awesomeness: this week at Nvidia's Nvision tradeshow, Mythbusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman used a massive 2100 barrel paint gun turret to create a pixel art rendition of the Mona Lisa in under 275 milliseconds. The thesis of the experiment was absurd — something about how only an Nvidia GPU can handle the raw processing power required to generate 45 square pixels of pixel art — but we're still impressed. And we're not the other ones: our inside NERF sources are whispering to us that they are already looking into harnessing the technology to create a Japan-only successor to the Oozinator.

or if this is a stonewall tactic?!?
Case manager understood my frustration and was willing to offer 10% off from Coprporate and will be calling the dearlership to broker something. Reasonable is probably out of the question at this point.
I emailed and will be calling an independent BMW shop regarding the following that did my brakes/oil change when I first purchased for a quote.
Question: Has anyone ever dealt with their independent BMW reapir shop in this type of circumstance given the scope of work entailed? Would they have ability to change the trans+software or is this something the dealership can only do?
Thank God for my E500.

Rotarian Bob Boyer isn't a spring chicken, but he can hold his own during Tuesday's regular Rockford Rotary jokeoff against Neil Blakeslee. On Tuesday, July 30, Boyer offered a joke with a lesson on the value of maturity.
An old German shepherd was chasing leaves and suddenly realized he had wandered too deep in the woods and was lost. As he walked through the woods trying to find his way home, he realized he was being stalked by a mountain lion. Coming across a pile of bones, he settled down and began gnawing the bones. As the young mountain lion approached, the dog said, "Mmmm, this was one delicious mountain lion. I wonder if there are any more around?"
The mountain lion froze, then carefully retreated into the woods. "Wow, that was a close one," the dog thought. "That mountain lion almost got me."
A squirrel up in the trees had observed the whole thing. He decided he could use the information to trade with the mountain lion for protection. He scampered off into the woods and found the mountain lion and told him how he had been tricked.
Furious at being fooled, the mountain lion told the squirrel to get on his back and they would go back to the German shepherd.
Once again the old dog saw the mountain lion, and squirrel, approaching. He pretended he hadn't seen them and, as they approached he said, "Where could that squirrel have gotten off to? I sent him out an hour ago to bring me another mountain lion."
The lesson of the tale is, don't mess with old dogs and a quick wit will get you farther than youth and inexperience.
Neil Blakeslee rose to the challenge, offering his own joke for the club's consideration.
A man went into his dentist's office in a terrible hurry. "Doc," he said, "I don't have time for any anesthesia. I have two buddies out in the car and a nine a.m. tee time at the best golf course in the area.
"It's already 8:30 and I have to get out of here fast and don't have time to let pain medicine kick in," he said. "Pull the tooth without anything for the pain and I'll be out of here in time for my game."
The dentist thought to himself, "What a brave man to have me pull his tooth out without any anesthesia or pain medicine. He asked the man, "Which tooth needs to be pulled?"
The man turned to his wife and said, "Honey, open your mouth and show the dentist."

Feb 29, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorFast and furious.
That describes the action planned for Saturday and Sunday at the Wyoming State Chariot Race Championships on the Paradise Valley race track north of Riverton.
Racing starts at noon both days. Ticket prices are $4 for adults, and children 12 and younger are free.
In a chariot race, the driver sits behind two horses and races down a 440-yard track against another team.
"It's just a rush of the race and the challenge of the horses," owner and driver John Williams of Dubois said. "When you enjoy horses, it's great fun." This is the first time in five years Riverton has hosted the final Wyoming race of the season. "The horses enjoy the challenge going against each other," Williams said. "The rush of going down the track like that is a kick." Riverton usually has at least one chariot race per season, but this year coordinator Brigitte Kuegeler put in for the state race.
"You have to have a love for horse racing," Kuegeler said. "It's also neat because you get to have the Calcutta, where you get to bet on your favorite team."
The first day has 10 races on the program. On day two the teams will be matched based on how they did the first day.
"Most of the teams are running from 22 to 24 seconds," Williams said. This season the racers have been to Gillette, Glendo, Torrington, Rock Springs, Dubois (twice) and Saratoga.
"It's very competitive," Williams said. "All of us are running real close together this year. There will be good races."
Williams said the race in Riverton is one of the best ones of the season.
"I think that it's the best place to have it," Williams said. "We have the best community support. Brigitte does a great job of getting everything together. That is usually where we get the best crowds.
There will be a food available. Kuegeler stressed the event is a good place to bring a family.

No. 7,364,132 entitled SANITARY DIAPHRAGM VALVE, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/568,425, filed on May 10, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,394,417 entitled SANITARY DIAPHRAGM VALVE, which claims priority from provisional application Ser. No. 60/192,785, filed on Mar. 28, 2000 entitled SANITARY DIAPHRAGM VALVE.
The present invention relates to radial diaphragm valves. More particularly, the invention is directed to a sanitary diaphragm valve that includes a dome shaped diaphragm and a bowl shaped valve cavity with various other features that provide a diaphragm valve that is easier to clean, has an extended cycle life, higher flow rates and that can operate at higher pressures.
Various fields such as, for example, biotechnology, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, food processing, and medical, require fluid handling systems that are clean and sterile while at the same time having increased cycle life and operating pressure. A very important consideration is ease with which the fluid handling components can be cleaned. The ease with which a system can be cleaned depends on, among other things, minimal dead volumes and entrapment areas. The fluid handling system must also use components that are inert to the fluid. Such systems often use valves as flow control devices, and diaphragm valves in particular are often used.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,134 (the "'134 patent" hereinafter), the entire disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by reference, describes a diaphragm valve design that is particularly well suited for these various sanitary applications. The present invention is directed to various improvements and additional features in the design of the '134 patent valve to enhance its cleanability and operating performance including, among other things, its operating pressure characteristic and cycle life. Still further the present invention is directed to increasing the flow rate.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing objectives, and in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a sanitary diaphragm valve is provided that includes a dome shaped diaphragm having a central boss that can be connected to or driven by a valve actuator, an outer peripheral region, and a relatively thin web portion that connects the boss to the outer peripheral region. In one embodiment, the web portion is arcuate or dome shaped. The thinner web portion permits the diaphragm to have an extended cycle life and to enable the valve to operate at higher fluid pressures. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the thin web may be defined by multiple curved surfaces. In one embodiment, the multiple curved surfaces are realized in the form of two surfaces with different radiuses of curvature.
In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, a valve body is provided that includes a bowl shaped valve cavity. This valve cavity includes an outer contour to permit more thorough cleaning and to eliminate entrapment areas. In a preferred embodiment, the valve cavity outer contour is realized in the form of a substantially vertical edge joined to the cavity by a smooth transition such as a radius, for example.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the actuator housing provides support surfaces for the diaphragm that reduces stress on the diaphragm particularly at higher operating pressures.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a deep bowl cavity design is used with a diaphragm that seals radially outside one of the valve ports. This concept greatly improves flow rates and also permits the port to open to the valve cavity off-axis to eliminate a right angle elbow inlet. Still a further aspect of the invention is a diaphragm stem that is undercut to provide a surface area that in response to back pressure urges the valve diaphragm to a closed position. This feature also may be used to realize a check valve.
These and other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of the preferred embodiments in view of the accompanying drawings.
The invention may take physical form in certain parts and arrangements of parts, preferred embodiments and a method of which will be described in detail in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and wherein:
With reference to
Although a number of alternative embodiments or examples are presented herein, such examples are not intended to be and should not be construed as being an exhaustive list. Many different electrical, mechanical and materials variations to the described embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, whether explicitly stated herein or not, and such variations may be made without departing from the teachings and scope of the invention. Furthermore, the invention includes a number of different aspects, each of which may be used separately or in combination with any one or more of the other aspects of the invention.
The actuator B in this embodiment is an air operated actuator, however, a valve in accordance with the present invention can be actuated in any manner convenient to the designer, including electromechanical actuation, hydraulic, pneumatic, manual and so forth. Therefore, the operational details of the actuator B are not essential to the present invention, except that in accordance with one aspect of the invention, the actuator stem C includes a diaphragm support structure as will be described herein below in greater detail. For purposes of the present description, it is sufficient to understand that the actuator stem C moves axially (vertically in the view of
The basic valve assembly 10 further includes the valve body F having a valve chamber or cavity K formed therein as described in the '134 patent. The diaphragm E is used to seal this cavity K. An inlet fluid passage L opens to the valve cavity K at the inlet port G. An outlet fluid passage M opens to the valve cavity K at an outlet port N. Suitable fittings P can be used to provide fluid tight connections of the valve to upstream and downstream fluid conduits or other flow control devices (not shown).
With reference to
With reference to
The central boss 12 extends from a central diaphragm body portion 22. A conical tip 24 is formed at an end of the central diaphragm body 22 that is opposite the boss 12. The conical tip 24 is circumscribed by an annular seal surface 26. The conical tip 24 improves the flow rate of fluid through the valve. Other geometric profiles of the tip 24 may be used. For example, a frusto-conical tip may be used, as may a cone shape with a rounded or radius tip. The particular profile selected will depend on the valve design and flow characteristics desired.
The peripheral edge 14 is provided in this exemplary embodiment by a circumferential rim 28. The rim 28 is joined to the central body 22 by the continuous dome shaped web 16. As illustrated in
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the web 16 has a non-uniform thickness 34 along its radial extent between the central body 22 and the rim 28. Alternatively, the web may have a substantially uniform thickness between the central body 22 and the rim 28. The web 16 is preferably but not necessarily thinnest in its central region 36 and gradually thickens to the areas where the web 16 joins the central portion 22 and the rim 28. By this structure, the web 16 is very flexible but avoids stress concentrations that could tend to weaken over many operating cycles.
The varying thickness of the web 16 is achieved in the embodiment of
The upper surface 30 of the web 16 is joined to the rim 28 by a radius 46 or other smoothly blended transition. The inner concave surface 32 is joined to the central body 22 by a radius transition 48 or other smoothly blended transition. The inner surface 32 is also joined to the rim 28 by a radius 50 or other smooth transition or blend. In this embodiment it will be noted that the radius 48 forms or transitions from a surface 48 a that extends radially outward from the central body towards the rim 28.
An advantage of the dome shaped diaphragm design is that the web 16 is not subjected to high tensile stress in the radial direction when the diaphragm is flexed to the closed position as illustrated in
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the rim 28 is designed to have a width "w" to height "h" ratio of about two to one. This exemplary ratio helps assure that the rim 28 is not too thick because some materials will tend to cold flow, particularly polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). However, in applications where cold flow is not a significant concern or for different size diaphragms or where other materials are used for the diaphragm, the rim 28 can be formed with different ratios.
The diaphragm E may be made of any suitable material that is compatible with the fluid passing through the valve. Examples include PTFE and TFM, the latter being a modified version of PTFE. However, the diaphragm E can be made from any flexible material including but not limited to elastomers such as EPDM, Buna™, Viton™ and so forth and polymers such as, for example, HOSTAFLON® TF™, HOSTAFLON® TFM™, Teflon NXT™, to name a few examples.
With reference to
As noted herein before, a significant advantage of the diaphragm E is the use of the thin web 16. The thin web 16 substantially increases the flexibility of the diaphragm E. This increased flexibility allows the actuator C (
The actuator housing D also includes a peripheral flat clamping portion 58 that cooperates with an opposed peripheral flat or near flat clamping portion 60 of the valve body F. The rim 28 is sandwiched and compressed between the actuator housing flat 58 and the valve body flat 60 to thus clamp the diaphragm E in the valve assembly. As shown in
In some valve designs, the actuator housing D will not always be adjacent the diaphragm upper surface 30, but rather some other structural member of the valve or actuator (such as a bonnet for example) will serve the purpose of clamping the diaphragm into the assembly 10. In such cases, this structural member can be modified to include an extension or other portion that overlays and supports the diaphragm E outer surface.
The convex diaphragm support portion 54 initially engages and supports the diaphragm outer surface 30, particularly when the valve is open (as viewed in
Thus, the contour of the support surface 52 illustrated in the drawings is intended to be exemplary in nature. This contour should be designed to support as much of the outer surface 30 area of the diaphragm as possible, especially when the diaphragm is under high internal pressure force.
The actuator tip J can also be used to provide a diaphragm support surface. As illustrated in
As indicated on
As noted herein before, the valve body F is formed with the bowl shaped contour 68 to define part of the valve chamber K. As illustrated in
In addition to forming a flush or slightly overlapped alignment between the edge 76 and the inner edge 74 of the diaphragm rim 28, the rim 28 is joined to the diaphragm web portion 36 by a radius or other smooth transition 50 that terminates at a surface 74 that is preferably, but not necessarily, substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis R of the diaphragm. Similarly, the valve cavity edge 76 is preferably formed by a radius or other smooth transition 80 that terminates at one end at a surface 78 that is preferably, but not necessarily, substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis R of the diaphragm and/or the flow axis through the outlet port N. The transition 80 at an opposite end transitions into the bowl shaped contour curvilinear surface 68 that defines part of the valve chamber. This arrangement significantly improves the cleanability of the valve.
With reference to
The valve illustrated in
In the embodiments of
With reference to
The diaphragm E as shown is somewhat modified from the earlier embodiments described herein (and which will be explained in greater detail below), but the deep bowl concept may be used with any suitable diaphragm design. Furthermore, the invention may be realized for metal or plastic valves, including metal or plastic valve bodies and/or diaphragms. In accordance with the deep bowl aspect of the invention, the valve body F has a generally curvilinear valve cavity surface 302 therein that forms a valve cavity 308 that is sealed by the overlaying diaphragm E. Preferably but not necessarily the surface 302 is curvilinear and in the illustrated embodiment is spherical. Other geometric configurations may be used as required for a particular valve application, however, the spherical geometry is relatively easy to machine and provides a cavity profile that achieves the higher flow rate desired while maintaining excellent cleanability. In the exemplary embodiment of
When the cavity surface 302 is substantially hemispherical there is no need for the transition portion 80 and more specifically the edge wall portion 78 that was described herein with reference to
The deep bowl concept may be realized with other cavity 308 geometric configurations besides a hemisphere. For example, the surface 302 may be defined by a parabolic or elliptical function. The surface 302 may also include a spherical or other curved portion and one or more cylindrical portions. The deep bowl concept therefore contemplates in more general terms any one or more of the following characteristics, namely, 1) a bowl depth dimension Z (
The first port H opens to the valve cavity 308 near the bottom of the cavity opposite the valve actuator D. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the diaphragm tip G has a diameter that is greater than the port H and seals in an area 310 of the bowl surface 302 that is substantially radially outside or spaced from the port H (see
By having the tip G seal radially outside the first port H and in combination with the deep bowl design, when the diaphragm E is pulled away by the actuator stem C to open the valve, a substantially larger flow cross-sectional area opens to the port H. For example, a 2:1 ratio can be achieved between the cross-sectional flow area within the cavity 308 and the cross-sectional flow area of the flow bore 312. In other words, as compared to a shallow bowl design, the same amount of linear stroke of the actuator D presents a substantially larger cross-sectional flow area to the fluid from the first port H. The smaller diameter spherical design of the cavity 308 achieves a substantial non-linearly increasing cross-sectional flow area as the tip G is withdrawn from the port H to open the valve. A further enhancement for improving flow through the valve is to optimize the location of the valve stem tip G relative to the outlet port I. In other words, when the valve is in the open position, the stem tip G may be designed so as to deflect or assist in directing the flow from the first port H to the second port I. If the stem tip G is positioned too high relative to the port I flow path, turbulence may occur, and if the tip G is too low relative to the port I flow may be unnecessarily restricted. Preferably, the port I will be positioned as close to the port H as possible while allowing sufficient area for the tip G to seal substantially radially spaced from the port H. Also, in many cases it will be desirable to make the entry angle of the port I as shallow as possible.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, by providing the seal area radially outside the port H, the port H need not be centered exactly on a diametric line of the cavity 308. In other words, in a typical radial diaphragm valve, the port sealed by the diaphragm stem G is centered on an axis that is collinear with the translation axis of the stem G. This arises from the fact that the stem must seal at the port. In the present invention, however, more options are available for positioning the port H within the cavity surface 311 that lies between the port H and the seal area 310. For example, in
In accordance with an additional aspect of the invention, the diaphragm stem G includes a radial undercut portion 316 (see
In the embodiment of
With continued reference to
When the first port H is machined on any axis X other than the center bottom of the bowl (along axis Y), the port H will have a non-circular geometry, such as an ellipse, for example.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention illustrated in
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the various improvements and aspects of the present invention may be used individually or in various combinations with each other as required for a particular valve application.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon a reading and understanding of this specification. It is intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Brief Synopsis
In the past year, Information Operations (IO) has matured from an early emphasis on the protection of critical infrastructures and against electronic espionage and is now more focused on content and on interagency information-sharing. The value of information--all information, not only secret information--and the value of global monitoring in all languages, 24/7, has been clearly established by the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI). This monograph defines and discusses three IO elements: Strategic Communication (the message); Open Source Intelligence (the reality); and, Joint Information Operations Centers (the technology). It concludes with a strategic overview of the various conceptual and technical elements required to meet modern IO needs, and provides a requirements statement that could be tailored to the needs of any Combatant Commander, service, or agency.

Home > Events and News > Research In the News > The Importance of the Individual Mandate: Evidence from Massachusetts
Massachusetts 2006 health law's requirement, that most residents buy coverage or pay a tax penalty, has been pivotal to the law's success, according to an article by co-authored by Amitabh Chandra, a faculty affiliate of Harvard's Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston. Writing in the January 12, 2011 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, Chandra, Jonathan Gruber (MIT), and Robin McKnight (Wellesley) compare the health of those who signed up state-subsidized health insurance before and after the state law requiring everyone to have health insurance or pay a fine took effect in 2007. They found that enrollees who signed up for the insurance "before the mandate went into effect were nearly 4 years older, were almost 50% more likely to be chronically ill, and had about 45% higher health care costs than those who signed up once the program was fully effective." This, in turn, suggests that the so-called "individual mandate" will play an important role in the implementation of federal health-care reform efforts, particularly because the federal program does not subsidize insurance as heavily as the state program.

There haven't been many occasions in Eric Deslauriers's seven seasons with the Montreal Alouettes when he's been the centre of media attention.
One was in July 2011 when he was on the receiving end of Anthony Calvillo's CFL-record 395th career TD pass — a catch at the back of the end zone that needed a video review to confirm he stayed in bounds.
Another came last week when Deslauriers hauled in a dramatic 57-yard desperation toss from rookie Tanner Marsh with a second remaining against the B.C. Lions. The catch set up Sean Whyte's 15-yard field goal on the final play for a stunning 39-38 victory.
"It's definitely my biggest catch and biggest game of my career," the 32-year-old Deslauriers said Tuesday.
It capped a night in which he set career highs in catches (four) and receiving yards (101). On Tuesday, the native of Gatineau, Que. , was named the CFL's Canadian player of the week.
Deslauriers doesn't get many chances to shine. When he gets in a game it's usually as the wide-side receiver, a spot quarterbacks shun because it means throwing all the way across the field.
But with a rash of injuries Deslauriers was playing closer to the middle in the spot usually held by Jamel Richardson, one of Calvillo's favourite targets.
And with Calvillo out with a concussion, Montreal had to use its backup quarterbacks — the ones Deslauriers works most with in practice. Josh Neiswander started before being replaced by Marsh in the first half.
"Me and Marsh play a lot of practice roster, so we know each other pretty well," said Deslauriers. "We've been a good hook-up since camp."
Or, as coach Jim Popp put it: "A backup is not going to be afraid to throw it to the starters and he'll be even less afraid to throw it to the guys he warms up with all the time."
Calvillo remains a question mark for the Alouettes' game Tuesday in Toronto. Popp said if the 41-year-old doesn't resume practising by Friday, he will likely sit out a second straight week.
If Calvillo doesn't play, Marsh will almost certainly make his first CFL start.
The 23-year-old Texan has been the talk of the town since coming off the bench to pull out the win over B.C. He completed only 14-of-32 passes with four interceptions and also fumbled twice.
But he also ran nine times for 71 yards and finished with 329 passing yards, averaging 23.5 yards per completion. Veteran Arland Bruce had seven catches for 167 yards.
"He really took it on his shoulders and got the job done," Deslauriers said of Marsh. "I know it wasn't pretty.
"I know you can't win on Hail Marys every freaking game, but it feels great. We really needed that. And hopefully it can get a fire going underneath us for the rest of the season."
The pass that stood out was the last-gasp toss to Deslauriers that helped Montreal (3-5) win for only the second time in a six-game span.
"I knew I was getting the ball on that play," said Deslauriers. "The O-line was good enough to protect for about 25 seconds and Marsh threw it up about 80 yards.
"I turned into a photographer. I was just looking at it. It was such a pretty ball."
Marsh was looking for Deslauriers.
"We moved everyone to the boundary," said Marsh. "We crossed them up.
"He was one-on-one and I threw it. He made an amazing catch. He's a freak of an athlete. If he's one-on-one, I'm throwing to him all the time. He's got that deceptive speed. He's got those lanky legs and the next thing you know he's passing people."
Popp thought he had a 1,000-yard receiver when he drafted Deslauriers seventh overall in 2006 from Eastern Michigan University. But after a promising rookie campaign, Deslauriers has been mainly a second-tier player.
Deslauriers has had injury troubles and then there always seems to be another player ahead of him on the depth chart.
Over seven seasons, he has only 71 catches for 1,015 yards and three touchdowns.
He doesn't expect that one big game and one huge catch to suddenly make him a featured receiver, however.
"I'm 32 and I'm feeling 25 and hopefully I can produce a little more, but the reality is that, as a professional, you have to learn to play your role," he said. "I can't get too high or too low.
"That's just the reality of playing the professional game."
The Alouettes are on a 12-day break between games, followed by consecutive meetings with the first-place Argonauts in a five-day span.Report Typo/Error

To Whom it may concern: WATCH THE SHOW GEAR
Searching for the truth behind the stories of the headlines of the day requires a 24/7/365 commitment. Others think that it is I who should be committed!
Regardless of opinions all American's have one and I feel it best left to you the listener to be the judge.
"PARANOIA IS PATRIOTIC" and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise!
In a world of 20 second sound bytes, 24 hour news cycles, and the need to make a profit we need to take much deeper looks into every facet of society. When we forget the past, we should be damned for repeating it! Our founding forefathers were called "Patriots" only AFTER defeating Brittish Rule! Untill victory, they were labeled CRIMINALS!
Society has created "Franken-Food", "Sky-Net", and "Cyborgs" along with a people destined to be ruled by them! A decade ago most laughed about The Council on Foreign Relations, P.N.A.C., and The Bilderberg's. Now they regret being so far behind the conversation when it comes to what is happening in the headlines.
We are now at war with GLOBALISIM, ENVIROMENTALISM, CORPORATISIM, AND SOCIALISM.
The Union Of North America might just be an election away!
There is life on Mars, corruption in politics, and a hidden agenda by the "Main-Stream Media Industrial Complex"! With you in fear in the dark and uninformed, Corporations & Lobbyists continue the plunder of our own memories replacing them with uncertainty and anxiety.
Having a voice is more important NOW than ever! While I have a show, YOU have a voice!
Let that voice be heard, let them know that you know what they are up to and are mad as hell about it!
Only once everyone knows the truth can we fight and win!
Call NOW and let your voice carry across this great nation of ours!

Event Details
Come join the Yale University Map Department, the RRAD SIG (Risk Reduction and Adaptation for Disasters Student Interest Group), and MapBox on April 12 for two workshops looking at open source tools in GIS.
The Yale University Map Department and School of Forestry invite you to day of open source mapping with MapBox. On April 12, we'll be holding two workshops looking at open source tools in GIS and OpenStreetMap. We'll look at free and open source tools like TileMill and QGIS in the morning session. The afternoon will be dedicated to OpenStreetMap, a free, user-driven map of the world.
Lunch will be provided, and we'll end the day with happy hour beers at the Cask Republic.
Join us for one session, or join us all day!
Workshop 1: A New Open Source Toolstack
15-20 people
This workshop will review the latest in open source mapping technologies: Tilemill, QGIS, PostGIS, Shapely/Fiona. As a free alternatives to ESRI's ArcGIS tools, these programs are constantly evolving, have a increased capacity for dealing with diverse types of data, and producing more customized visualizations. The workshop will cover importing common data types into each program, introduce a few processing methods, cover advanced styling methods in TileMill, and finish with a web-deployed MapBox map.
## Agenda:
1. Overview of a new toolstack
2. Examples using vector and raster data
3. Workshop hour
Required: completion of Advanced GIS workshop with Stacey Maples or GIS Vector or Raster with Dana Tomlin. Please bring a laptop with QGIS, Tilemill already installed on your computer. PostGIS and Python libraries Shapely & Fiona are not required but recommended to follow along.
See this resource page for what you need to install prior to the workshop: http://inkwell.github.com/#b4e48f0169cd9b5900f2.
Lunch: 12:00 - 1:30pm
Workshop 2: Using and Contributing to OpenStreetMap: Beyond just a base map
15-20 people
OpenStreetMap is a free, user driven base map of the world and the future for baseline geographic data. This workshop will focus on going beyond using OpenStreetMap as a base map and will look at the primary ways to contribute to and use geographic data from OSM. We'll look at use in disaster risk reduction activities and disaster response, along with covering methods for extracting data for use in external analyses. Participants will learn how to be active users and contributors to OpenStreetMap.
## Agenda:
1. What is OpenStreetMap and how can it be useful?
2. Tools to Contribute: JOSM and iD
3. Workshop + Mapping Party
No experience with GIS required. Please bring a laptop with JOSM installed and a two-button mouse. OpenStreetmap username will be required to use JOSM, iD, and contribute to OSM.
Happy Hour!
Join us to celebrate post-workshop drinks and kick off the Global Health and Innovation Conference at the Cask Republic. MapBox will get the first round.

Money market report for week ended June 17
ECB Monetary Operations
On Monday, June 13, the ECB announced its weekly MRO. The auction was conducted on Tuesday, June 14, and attracted bids from euro area eligible counterparties of €135.58 billion, €33.14 billion higher than the amount bid for in the previous week. The bid amount was allotted in full at a fixed rate equivalent to the prevailing main refinancing rate of 1.25 per cent, in accordance with current ECB policy
On June 14, the ECB conducted a Special Term Refinancing Operation (STRO) with a maturity of 28 days. This attracted bids of €69.40 billion, which were allotted in full at a fixed rate equivalent to the prevailing main refinancing rate of 1.25 per cent, also in accordance with the current ECB policy.
Also, on the same day, the ECB conducted an auction for a seven-day fixed-term deposit intended to absorb €75 billion. This operation is designed to sterilise the effect of purchases made under the Securities Markets Programme that were settled but had not yet matured by the previous Friday, June 10. The auction was carried out at a variable rate, with euro area eligible counterparties allowed to place up to two bids at a maximum rate of 1.25 per cent. It attracted bids amounting to €76.71 billion, with the ECB allotting €75 billion or 97.70 per cent of the total amount bid for. The marginal rate on the auction was set at 1.25 per cent, with the weighted average rate at 1.20 per cent.
On Tuesday, June 14, being the last day of the reserve deposit maintenance period, the ECB conducted an overnight Fine-tuning Liquidity Absorbing Operation at a variable rate, with counterparties allowed to place up to two bids at a maximum rate of 1.25 per cent. The operation attracted bids of €35.16 billion, with the ECB accepting €29.62 billion or 84.24 per cent of the total amount bid for. The marginal rate on the operation was set at 1.05 per cent, while the weighted average rate was 1.04 per cent.
On Wednesday, June 15, the ECB conducted a seven-day US dollar funding operation through collateralised lending in conjunction with the US Federal Reserve. This operation was carried out at a fixed rate of 1.10 per cent and, once more, no bids were placed by euro area eligible counterparties.
Domestic Treasury Bill Market
In the domestic primary market for Treasury Bills, the Treasury invited tenders for 91-day and 182-day bills maturing on September 16, and December 16, 2011 respectively. Bids of €14.82 million were submitted for the 91-day bills, with the Treasury accepting €5.0 million, while bids of €11.0 million were submitted for the 182-day bills, with the Treasury declining all bids. Since €9.63 million worth of bills matured during the week, the outstanding balance of Treasury Bills decreased by €4.63 million, to stand at €344.53 million.
The yield from the 91-day bill auction was 1.130 per cent, i.e. 2.7 basis points lower than that on bills with a similar tenor issued on June 10, 2011, representing a bid price of 99.7152 per 100 nominal.
During the week under review, there was no trading on the Malta Stock Exchange.

The Of Fire EP is Kill Memory Crash's first release for Ghostly International since 2005's American Automatic. On Of Fire, gone are the ambient, cinematic touches and stop-start dynamics that characterized their last record; in their place are tighter synthesizers, sharper serrated percussion, and a terrifyingly direct focus that speaks of the Chicago industrial duo's new found vigor.Of Fire has a right-up-in-your ears immediacy that packs a serious low-end punch. "Hell on Wheels"'s locomotive bass stutters a foundation for a cathedral of fuzz-toned guitar stabs and effected vocals. "Slug Song," meanwhile, combines distorted screams and buzzsaw synthesizers into a chugging disco banger from Hell. Ghostly Swim's "Hit + Run" begins with a fiendishly syncopated bassline, but quickly detonates in a hail of swooping electronic noise and disaffected vocals.Kill Memory Crash have discovered the power of individual sounds, broadening their strokes and sharpened their edges until the tracks gleam like fresh-polished steel.

Windy & Carl
The duo returned to their songwriting project in early 2005, first paying tribute to a recently departed dog (Dedications to Flea, a limited-edition release on the Brainwashed label) before releasing a dreamy, ambitious effort entitled The Dream House. Kranky also packaged the albums together, and the label later released Windy & Carl's fourth Kranky-affiliated effort, Songs for the Broken Hearted, in 2008. During the time leading up to and directly following Songs for the Broken Hearted, the group experienced a surge of new listenership, sparked in part by successful Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox repeatedly referencing in interviews how influential Windy & Carl's early recordings were to him. This piqued the curiosity of new fans and earned the record a broader audience and critical acclaim, with more media coverage than usual for the duo. They returned in 2012 with We Will Always Be, a full-length of collaborations based on intimate solo recordings by Hultgren, initially gifted to Weber as a Valentine's Day present. ~ Jason Ankeny

Well, Christmas is over.
Have you gotten your after-Christmas "thumping" yet?
Don't know what a Christmas thumping is? A thumping is what you get when you foolishly buy something for your spouse that they don't truly want. The thumping itself can take many forms of retribution.
I've never had to give Cindy a thumping. Cindy is the queen of gift giving in our house, except maybe when it comes to clothes for tween and teen girls. Take me, for instance.
I always love quotes and one-liners. Don't you?
The following is a column written by Mackville native Leon Keeling. He served as news editor of The Harrodsburg Herald in Mercer County for 34 years.

Do your part in making Washington Co. healthier. A recent report stated that 33 percent of Washington County citizens are obese. Of this number, 21 percent are children. Be willing to set a good example for your children and grandchildren.
To the Editor,
Wow! That's the best way to describe the tremendous job the road crew did cleaning up Mayes Creek road recently. The roadside had become badly overgrown with underbrush and tree crowding. It had overtaken much of the space that once allowed cars to pull off the road.
Well, hello there Washington County. It's nice to meet you.
