FOP Lodge No. 169 Fundraiser
January 17, 2013
MACOMB, IL -- The annual fundraiser for Western Illinois University Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 169 is underway. Donations collected will help the WIU FOP to supply bike helmets to McDonough County elementary school students, as well as to provide support for a host of local organizations and events.
In 2012, the FOP distributed helmets to every first grader in McDonough County school districts. In addition, the WIU FOP assisted various McDonough County organizations including Special Olympics; Good Hope and Colchester Little Leagues; McDonough County Girls Softball; PRIME; Samaritan Well; Western Illinois Regional Council Project Santa; Macomb Kiwanis; St. Jude; and St. Baldrick's; and awarded book scholarships for McDonough County high school graduates attending Western. In addition, the WIU and Macomb Police FOPs are continuing to renovate Camp Chic-A-Gama at Spring Lake to serve area youth activities, and the WIU FOP sponsors a local Cub Scout pack. Since 1997, the WIU FOP has provided more than $120,000 to support area organizations.
"We greatly appreciate our supporters' generosity throughout the years. We are mailing our fundraising requests again this year, rather than interrupting the evenings of our generous contributors with phone calls," said Tom Moore, FOP No. 169 secretary/treasurer. "We know that people are often asked to pledge for many different organizations; we hope that the citizens of McDonough County will consider donating to our fund drive so we can continue to assist the many worthy organizations and young people in our region."
For further information contact the WIU FOP No. 169 at (309) 836-2267 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. To make a donation, send a check, payable to WIU FOP No. 169, to P.O. Box 233, Macomb, IL 61455, or donations may be dropped off at the WIU Office of Public Safety (Mowbray Hall).

I don't blame the bicyclists for not stopping to help. It would be heroic to stop, but getting away and calling 911 is all that is morally required. Do you disagree? I would not even stop long enough to figure out who was the one that needed help. Now, if the bicyclists casually observed the scene and moved on, that would be wrong.
There's also now an answer to the question I had: Why was the victim naked? The attacker, Rudy Eugene "pulls Poppo from the shade, strips off his pants and pummels him. He hunches over Poppo and appears to lie on top of him."
And here's an article about Poppo, whose sister thought he'd died years ago.
"I tried to reach him, and I just thought he killed himself," she said. "We really thought he was no longer on this Earth."So here was this poor, lost man. Before the attack, the word "faceless" could have been used figuratively to describe him. Now, having literally lost his face, he is famous. His face, in old photographs, is on the front page of the newspapers. What strange paradoxes. Lying in the street, with no one to care about him, he was suddenly "pull[ed]... from the shade" and into the bright light. He suffered a horrible attack, but before the attack, no one cared about him or gave him any thought at all. Now, everyone cares intensely about him. We want to know how he came to be lying there that day, how he suffered, whether he can be saved. The doctors and the nurses will lavish medical care upon him.
He lost nearly 80% of his face on Saturday when Rudy Eugene, 31, chomped away at his nose, eyes and face. He also lost one eye when it was gouged out, police said.The beard was not eaten. The crazed cannibal maintained possession of the sane person's distaste for hair? Perhaps when Poppo wandered the streets, that beard marked him as a homeless man, and outsider. And then the beard preserved a part of his face.
"He had his face eaten down to his goatee," said Sgt. Armando Aguilar, president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police. "The forehead was just bone. No nose, no mouth."
Antoinette remembered her sibling as "a very intelligent boy."Stuyvesant isn't a private school, so it's hard to make sense of what the sister said. Maybe just that the place was exclusive. You have to do well on a difficult test to get in.
"My mother always sent him to private schools, and I really don't understand what happened," Antoinette said....
He was remembered as a "nice guy" by his fellow classmates at Stuyvesant High School, a prestigious city school from which he graduated in 1964.
"The sad reality is there are many brilliant people who become schizophrenic and end up on the streets," said a Stuyvesant classmate, Felix Freshwater, who became a pioneering plastic surgeon in Miami.Very sad. I hope it's some consolation to the poor man that, after all these years, people do care about him. Here are some more details about medical treatment. The injuries are not life threatening, but the human mouth is full of germs, so the worst danger is infection:
Now 65, Poppo used to sleep on a cardboard box across the street from the crime scene, often listening to a small radio, a homeless man named Andrew told the Daily News.
"He didn't mess with anyone, and he seemed like a very educated man," Andrew said.
[R]ebuilding of Poppo's face would happen in stages after doctors try to keep his wounds clean, salvage viable tissue and determine a plan for skin grafts. Protecting his remaining eye and maintaining an airway are priorities.They have a man who hasn't coped with ordinary life, but he had his survival-level life on the streets for 30 years. In that, he's not much like the chimpanzee victim, abruptly thrown from ordinary life into abnormal life.
To keep the wounds clean, doctors use grafts of the patient's skin, cadaver skin or synthetic skin to cover the exposed bone or cartilage, said Dr. Blane Shatkin, a plastic surgeon and director of the wound healing center at Memorial Hospital Pembroke in South Florida....
"You would not just take this guy to the OR for a face transplant — you really have to go in a staged fashion. You save what you can and use what you have available first, don't burn any bridges and move forward slowly," Shatkin said. "And you have to see what he wants."
Psychological care is important to the recovery, and patients need to participate in the decision-making process, said Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He performed a facial transplant on a Connecticut woman who was mauled by a friend's pet chimpanzee in 2009.
"I think the patient has to be able to cope with the injury and the trauma and needs to figure out what has happened. It often takes them weeks to understand what has happened," Pomahac said.

A band of brothers
at Franklin Pierce
Jaymie Harrington works hard to promote a family atmosphere within the men's hockey program at Franklin Pierce University. The Ravens' fifth-year coach has it easy this season.
His Franklin Pierce roster features a trio of Dunn brothers, seniors Pat and Sean , along with their younger brother James, a freshman goaltender.
This season marks the first time — and likely the last — that the siblings from Quincy have skated together on the same team.
"You don't see this very often and it's a special feeling as a coach to be part of this," said Harrington. "I look back to myself and my brother, and we were always one year apart from playing together. I look at the three Dunn boys and it's really something special."
Pat, 23, has started four games in goal for the Ravens, who are off to a 3-2 start after a 3-1 nonconference victory over State University of New York Canton on Saturday. He is 13 months older than Sean, a senior forward who picked up his first assist of the season in Sunday's victory.
Both brothers attended Archbishop Williams High School for three years, then spent two seasons at New Hampton School, where they repeated their junior season.
After attending Utica College for two years, the brothers transferred to Franklin Pierce. This year James, who earned a spot on the roster as a walk-on, joined his two brothers. To add to the family affair, their sister, Siobhan, is a sophomore at the school.
"It's pretty special to be pulling on the same jersey every day," said Pat Dunn, who was named Northeast-10 Conference Goaltender of the Week after turning away 64 of 66 shots during two games, including his first career shutout. "This is the first time all three of us have been on the same team. It's pretty awesome."
Harrington was glad to have the Dunns transfer to Franklin Pierce from Utica, where they received sporadic playing time. He had spent considerable time recruiting the brothers when they were at New Hampton.
"We recruited both of them, but you can't win every battle," said Harrington. "Then they expressed a desire to transfer, so it was great to get them on board. It's better late than never. They both bring so much to the team."
Pat started five games for the Ravens last season, compiling an 0-4-1 record with a 4.27 goals against average. After working with a goalie coach over the summer, the 5-10, 185-pound senior has a 2-2 record with a 2.25 GAA.
"I worked hard over the summer and it helps when you have a brother who is a forward who can shoot on you all summer," said Pat. "My defense is playing pretty well in front of me, and I'm excited about the rest of the season."
Sean played in all 16 games for the Ravens last year, registering four goals with five assists, and Harrington expects the 5-9, 160-pound senior to be a major contributor this season.
"Sean is top six forward for us and he will always be up toward our top two lines," said Harrington.
"Sean has certainly had an impact on our program, although I don't know that his stats tell the whole story. The best is yet to come with Sean."
One reason the two older brothers transferred to Franklin Pierce is because of the Quincy connection on the team.
Six players hail from the city, including junior defenseman Kyle Craig (Quincy High), junior forward Ted Walsh (Quincy High), and freshman forward Brendan Glynn (North Quincy High). Glynn netted his first collegiate goal in Saturday's win when he buried a rebound on an assist from Stephen White, a 6-4, 205-pound freshman defender from Plymouth.
The local connections don't end there.
Whitman's Anthony Chighisola, who returned to the ice last weekend after missing his senior season due to injury, scored his first goal since Dec. 11, 2010, in the Ravens' 3-1 loss to SUNY on Friday night.
Dino Federico (Canton) is also expected to be a key part of the Franklin Pierce offense. The senior has yet to score this season, but was second on the team in points (15) last year with six goals and nine assists.
McDavitt coaches Tufts to national title
A stick salute is in order for Walpole native Tina McDavitt , who guided the Tufts University field hockey squad to the Division 3 national championship on Sunday afternoon. The 2-1 victory over Montclair State in Geneva, N.Y., capped a 19-2 season.
In nine years at the helm, McDavitt is 105-36 overall, leading the Jumbos to five straight NCAA tourney appearances, the national championship game in 2008, and the national semis in 2009.
A standout for Penny Calf at Walpole High, winning state titles with the Porkers in 1994 and 1995, she was a four-year starter at Boston University, captaining the 1999 squad that was unbeaten in the America East.
"We've been to the 'final four' before," said McDavitt. "Losing in double overtime [in 2008] was devastating and in 2009, I had my appendix out, and wasn't there. . . . Every game we had to really earn it and we did."
Here and there
The Franklin Pierce women's basketball team is off to a strong start (2-1), thanks to the stellar play of freshman Kara Charette of Fairhaven. The 6-foot center was named the Northeast-10 Rookie of the Week after scoring 21 points and grabbing nine rebounds in her collegiate debut, an 81-54 win over Nyack. She added 22 points in a 69-54 triumph over the University of the Sciences and delivered 16 points, eight rebounds, a block, and a steal in a 63-60 loss to Merrimack. She is shooting 60 percent from the field and averaging 19.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. . . . The Duxbury Interfaith Council and Duxbury Gridiron Club are sponsoring a food drive during the Thanksgiving game between undefeated Duxbury (10-0) and Marshfield. Fans are asked to bring nonperishable food items to the game, which kicks off at 10 a.m. in Duxbury. . . . Four scholar-athletes from the Weymouth Club have signed national letters of intent: Canton's Jill Rooney (Northwestern), the top-ranked junior female tennis player in New England; Hingham's Emma Alderman (UConn), ranked in the top five in New England; from the Weymouth Club Waves swim team, Abington High senior Colleen O'Neil is headed to Louisiana State University, while backstroker Julie Coen (Notre Dame Academy) of Marshfield will attend Florida Institute of Technology. O'Neil emerged on the national scene last January at the junior national championships, where she turned in a stellar time of 2:01.38 in the 200-yard individual medley and became the first Weymouth Waves member to qualify for the Olympic trials.John R.

The Los Angeles Kings had no issues with their defensive effort last time out. It was the offense that needs to find some improvement.
The Kings, though, still take a four-game point streak on the road with them Saturday night as they visit the Pacific Division-rival Anaheim Ducks.
Los Angeles has gone 2-0-2 in its past four games following two regulation defeats to begin its Stanley Cup defense. Both losses, though, were by a 2-1 score and the Kings have been held to two goals or fewer in all four of their setbacks this season.
Seeking a third straight win, the Kings instead lost a shootout to Nashville on Thursday despite holding the Predators to just 14 shots in the game, 11 through regulation.
After the teams combined for just two goals through overtime -- both in the first period -- they exploded for seven in the shootout. However, Los Angeles' Simon Gagne was stopped in the eighth round and Sergei Kostitsyn followed by snapping a shot by Jonathan Quick.
Dustin Brown scored Los Angeles' regulation goal and Quick settled down after allowing a goal 58 seconds into the game with 13 saves.
"Every point's important," said Brown. "You can look at it two ways; we got one point and obviously you want to get that second one in a shootout, but I think if we limit our chances against, like we did tonight, it's a good thing for us. We've just got to build on that and find the dirty areas on the offensive side of the game."
The Kings are set to play their next five on the road and eight of their next nine will be played outside of Los Angeles. The first stop is against a Ducks team that the Kings beat in five of the six meetings last season, with two of those victories coming in a shootout.
The Ducks also carry a points streak into this meeting, having gone 2-0-1 in their last three. They were in action on Friday night, handing the Minnesota Wild a 3-1 road defeat.
Kyle Palmieri had two goals on his 22nd birthday, including the go-ahead tally early in the third. Bobby Ryan assisted on both goals and notched an insurance tally on the power play with 1:34 to play.
Linemate Teemu Selanne assisted on all three goals as well to help Palmieri celebrate his birthday in style.
"I was excited to play with Bobby and Teemu," Palmieri said. "We were fortunate to get some scoring opportunities. This is the first time I've scored two goals on my birthday."
Rookie goaltender Viktor Fasth made his second career start and stopped 26 shots to earn the victory, which improved Anaheim to 4-1-1 on the season.
"The guys played really good in front of me," Fasth remarked. "We played with discipline tonight. That's what won the game for us."

Bullets and Brains
When it comes to gun violence, people usually try to pinpoint the root cause. Is it mental illness? Is it easy access to firearms? Many people are left wanting answers after any sort of particular tragedy. But when it's a situation involving guns and ammo, people wonder who's to blame. And these are just some of the ideas that will be touched upon in Jeffrey W. Swanson's lecture "The Truth About Gun Violence and Mental Illness."
Swanson, who is currently a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University School of Medicine, will give this lecture twice: once at the Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education (1001 Stanford NE) tomorrow, and also in Santa Fe at the Center for Contemporary Arts Cinematheque (1050 Old Pecos Trail) on Wednesday, Feb. 26. The lecture starts at 6pm on both days and is free and open to the public. However, due to limited seating, registration is recommended. In this informative talk, folks will gain better insight into ongoing trends and research, which will give a better understanding over whether incidents involving gun violence can be predicted or prevented.

Helping people and the planet thrive
• Minister of Culture, Dr. Luis Peirano highlighted the national value of this powerful alliance
Lima, July, 13th, 2013. "Today, more than ever, it is obvious that poverty and environmental degradation go hand in hand, as two faces of one reality which we need to address together", stated WWF Peru's Director Patricia León Melgar, minutes before joining Care Peru's Director Milo Stanojevich, to formalize the collaboration agreement between both organizations.
This promising alliance was sealed in an event held on July 12th in Lima, although in practical terms the partnership has already been conducting some of the most groundbreaking experiences in terms of sustainable development nationwide.
Whether through promoting reforestation and best agricultural practices with coffee growers in the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary, or fostering the first successful experiences on payment for hydrological services between private companies, the government and farmers in the Jequetepeque river basin, WWF and CARE have pioneered in promoting a healthy ecosystems - healthy livelihoods approach, in the face of climate change.
As acknowledged by Steven Chapman, Chief Conservation Officer from WWF US, both organizations add up to almost 100 years of experience, and under this context, the offices in Peru prioritized the need to formalize this joint vision as a compass for ongoing and future initiatives.
In this regard, the Ministry of Culture, Dr. Luis Peirano highlighted the importance of this commitment. "I want to stress the value of this union, since, as President Humala recently stated: going on our own might be fast and easy, but going together we might get further", he said.
The presence of Minister Peirano was also the opportunity for both organizations to strengthen relations with the government towards an increasingly coordinated work in benefit of the most vulnerable peoples in Peru, under a framework of environmental sustainability.
At the end of the event a joint vision was shared with the audience, aiming towards landscapes in which marine and terrestrial ecosystems are thriving and the people who depend on them have better lives, as natural resources are managed for both current and future generations.

The change of the seasons is particularly inspiring for the chef and avid cook. Spring is here and as the weather warms, the days get longer and new harvests hit the markets. The change of available ingredients helps trigger creativity - I always look forward to cooking with globe artichokes, beetroot and broad beans, for example. Favourite recipes can be revisited and tweaked, fresh dishes appear from the imagination and there's a sense of rejuvenation.
At any time of year, choosing seasonal ingredients produced locally is important whenever possible. Vegetables are much tastier at their peak. Always choose fresh produce carefully. Fruits and vegetables should feel heavy for their size, be relatively blemish-free and bought as close to the time you plan to cook them as conveniently possible. Paying attention to these smaller details can make the difference between a good meal and a sublime experience.
Each of these recipes for side dishes has spring vegetables as its hero. Asparagus, fennel and peas in mint condition and bursting with flavour take the meal to the next level.
Asparagus stir-fry
We serve this with steak but asparagus is a great garnish for chicken, pork, fish or on its own with rice or noodles.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large knob ginger, peeled and finely sliced or grated
2 long red chillies, sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/2 medium Spanish onion, sliced
20 asparagus spears, stalks snapped off
1 tbsp kecap manis
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1/3 cup chicken stock
Heat vegetable oil in a wok on high until shimmering. Add ginger, chilli, garlic and onion and toss for a minute or two. Add asparagus, toss then add remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil and stir until asparagus is just cooked and sauce has reduced to a glaze.
Serves 4 as a side
Fennel and anchovy gratin
You can cook this gratin in a large oven-proof dish and place on the table as a ''serve yourself'' side. A rocket salad and boiled potatoes make good additions.
50g butter
2 medium brown onions, finely sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
6 sprigs lemon thyme
Salt and pepper
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and finely sliced
300ml chicken stock
60g bread crumbs
45g anchovies, chopped
Pre-heat oven to 180C. Melt butter in saucepan and add onion, garlic and thyme. Season and cook until soft. Remove thyme stalks. Add fennel to onions and stir to combine. Place in four oven-proof gratin dishes. Pour over chicken stock. Mix bread crumbs with anchovies in a small bowl and spread on top of fennel. Bake for 30 minutes to 40 minutes or until breadcrumbs are crisp and golden and fennel is soft. Serve with fish.
Serves 4
Pea and sage custard with quail
The crisp, salty bacon is the perfect contrast for the sweet and creamy pea custard.
150ml milk
10 large fresh sage leaves, torn
2 garlic cloves, peeled and flattened
200g fresh peas
375ml cream
Salt and pepper
4 eggs
4 jumbo quail, cut in half
4 rashers bacon, trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Pre-heat oven to 160C. Grease eight large friand moulds well. Place milk, sage and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, remove from heat and cover with a lid. Stand for 10 minutes. Place peas in a cylindrical container suitable for a stick blender. Bring cream to the boil and simmer for two minutes to reduce slightly. Pour over peas with strained milk and blend with a stick blender until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper. Pass through a coarse strainer.
Lightly beat eggs and add to cream mixture. Re-strain and pour into moulds. Place in a baking tray and fill the tray with warm water to two-thirds up the sides. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until just set. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before carefully turning out. Grill or pan-fry quail on both sides for four to five minutes, keep warm. Fry bacon in a non-stick pan until crispy. Add walnuts and toss to warm through. Serve quail with custards and garnish with bacon and walnuts.
Serves 8 as an entree

Frescura Earns National Honor
GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T freshman punter Dominic Frescura didn't do too bad for a player who just arrived to A&T.
Frescura (6-2, 190, South Pasadena, Calif.) punted nine times for a single-game school record 424 yards to help the Aggies upset No. 21 Appalachian State 24-21 Saturday night at Kidd Brewer Stadium. For his efforts, Frescura was named The Sports Network National Special Teams Player of the Week. Frescura also picked up MEAC Rookie of the Week honors from the conference, while senior D'Vonte Grant (5-10, 208, Charlotte) picked MEAC Defensive Player of the Week accolades.
Frescura pinned the Mountaineers inside their own 20-yard line five times on Saturday. Four of his punts forced the Mountaineers to start their drive inside their own 5. The Aggies signed Frescura after their initial target at punter decided to attend another school. Broadway said he and his coaching staff unturned every stone until they found the California native during the heat of training camp.
Grant also made team history on Saturday. Grant returned a second-quarter interception 57 yards for a touchdown that gave A&T a 21-6 halftime lead. The pick 6 was the third of Grant's career, tying a school record set by Curtis Deloatch, who played at A&T from 2001-03. Grant also made eight tackles, broke up a pass and had a tackle for loss.
The Aggies (1-0) return to Greensboro to play their home opener Saturday, Sept. 14 at 6 p.m., versus the Elon Phoenix. For tickets call (336) 334-7749.

TOPEKA, Kan. - About 30 inmates at the Topeka Correctional Facility are part of the women's running club, which trains for 5K events that raise money for the community.
Suzanne MacDonald and Carol Hill are volunteers at the facility and came up with the idea of a running club. MacDonald said when they proposed the idea, the facility was very supportive. "We talked with the women and they were real excited," said MacDonald. "We decided we'd start off by training for a couple months to get ready for the 5K race."
The first 5K they prepared for was the 2007 Race Against Breast Cancer. About 35 women signed up and paid the registration fee to run the facility's version of the community race within facility fences. The race was held simultaneously with the community 5K.
Inmate and running club member, Pam Simmons, said the women were enthusiastic about the race and donation opportunities. "After we did that, we decided we enjoyed getting in shape," said Simmons. "We enjoyed getting together and doing this."
The club began running Saturday and Sunday mornings for one hour. In April they participated in a race for the Topeka Battered Women's Shelter, and in July they ran for the Helping Hands Humane Society.
Simmons said the running club decided to do at least three races a year, one of which will be the Race Against Breast Cancer.
As the running club has grown, women have donated running shoes to MacDonald and other volunteers to be used by the women at the facility during the weekend runs. Anyone interested in donating an old pair of running shoes should not send them to the facility. You can e-mail email@example.com to find out how you can make a donation.
Women at the facility are now preparing for the 2008 Race Against Breast Cancer. More than 90 women have registered to run, raising $2,100. Inmates who cannot or do not want to run are able to volunteer to help with the race day events.
The Race Against Breast Cancer in Topeka is held Saturday, October 4.
Also as part of the running club, a guest speaker visits the women once a month to talk about health matters. They've heard from a nutritionist and former Olympic runner, Jim Ryun.
The women say this gives them a chance to feel a part of the community again, and they're happy to do their part and learn to live a healthier lifestyle at the same time.
"We're really trying to fit back into the community," said Simmons. "It's the volunteers who make all the difference because they bring the community to us and they take us back out there as our representatives."

Difference between revisions of "Harar"
Revision as of 18:34, 20 July 2006
Harar is an ancient city in eastern Ethiopia. Harar (sometimes spelled Harrar or Harer) is has a population of abot 75,000.
For centuries, Harar has been a major commercial center, linked by the trade routes with the rest of Ethiopia, the entire Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and, through its ports, the outside world. One of the major attractions of Harar is a manssion once housed the French's renowned poet Arthur Rimbaud. The manssion is now converted to a museum.
Harar Jugol has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006 in recognition of its cultural heritage. It is considered the fourth holiest city of Islam with 82 mosques, three of which date from the 10th century, and 102 shrines.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Stephanie Mbia has risked his relationship with the club's fans by tweeting ex-player Joey Barton asking him if he could swap places with him at Marseille.
Barton was sent out on-loan to the French side after receiving a 12-game ban from the FA for fighting with Sergio Aguero on the last day of last season and has publicly admitted that he doesn't want to return to Loftus Road.
The Cameroon midfielder has a year of Championship football ahead of him with QPR after the club were relegated last season after a goalless draw with Reading and the midfield-man has made it clear that he doesn't want to play in the second-tier of English football.
Mbia signed for QPR from Marseille last summer and the deal saw Barton go the other way on a season-long loan.
The midfield-man cost QPR £5million and currently earns around £50k-a-week and has been a first-team regular for the West London side since joining, but his recent tweets may put his first-team place in jeopardy.
Below you can see the tweets that took place between the two players.
Stephane Mbia: "@JoeyBarton Do you want rechange your seat with me?"
Joey Barton: "@StephaneMbia How do I answer this politically? Er...Nope!
"If you go down with a team you should stay and help them up mate. They need to stick together an help them back."
After the originally tweets, Mbia then removed his first tweet asking Barton for the switch and later on in the same day he tweeted the following admitting that the tweet wasn't a joke, but he was forced to remove it by the club.
He tweeted: "No it was not a joke. I deleted the tweet under pressure. I want to speak to #qpr but they don't want to."
He then followed that tweet up by asking Barton for the switch again.
"So Seriously @Joey7Barton do you want to rechange your seat with me?"

Day 11: M. Scott Peck
Each day of Lent (minus Sundays) we'll bring you words of wisdom from spiritual guides.
11. M. Scott Peck: Communal confession
Community requires the confession of brokenness. But how remarkable it is that in our culture brokenness must be "confessed." We think of confession as an act that should be carried out in secret, in the darkness of the confessional, with the guarantee of professional priestly or psychiatric confidentiality. Yet the reality is that every human being is broken and vulnerable.
How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others. But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness. (The Different Drum [1], Touchstone)
Peck is a psychiatrist and the author of The Road Less Travelled [2] (Simon and Schuster).

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) Perhaps the following story can be filed under the "huh?" file, but nevertheless, it is real and not a figment of anyone's imagination.
It appears as if the most illustrious and mysterious woman we have ever known has made it to one of the most desirable and sought-after lists.
She comes in at number 69 on "Maxim's Hot 100 List" and it's "Manti Te'o's Fake Girlfriend".
Forget about Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Rihanna rounding out the top three, respectively; the iconic magazine that appeals to those who love to look at beautiful women scantily clad, features "Manti Te'o's Fake Girlfriend" as a black bikini floating figment of air surrounded by waves and a beach in the background.
The profile description under the photo says, "After Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend hoax of 2012, we think it might be nice to have an invisible girl of our own to love. Why not? She's got a ton of great qualities, including looking awesome in a bikini. "
We think we will stop right here.

Originally Aired / Published: January 3rd, 2013
The third live-action "Star Trek" series premiered on this date in 1993, and was the first such series not set on a starship named "Enterprise."
With the success of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," another "Star Trek" spin-off was planned. Instead of being placed on a starship like the previous series and movies, this would be set aboard a space station with an all new cast and crew.
This became "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," which premiered 20 years ago on January 3rd, 1993. Like "The Next Generation," this was a syndicated series that aired on a variety of affiliate networks.
The series starred Avery Brooks as Commander (later Captain) Benjamin Sisko and also included such talent as Rene Auberjonois, Nana Visitor and Terry Farrell. Colm Meaney, who played the recurring character Chief Miles O'Brien on "The Next Generation" was brought over as a regular.
Some Star Trek fans praise "Deep Space Nine" for its darker tone and arc-based storytelling, while others disliked the grimmer take on the typically sanguine "Star Trek" universe and felt it continued its war-based storyline from later seasons too long. Other Trekkers and Trekkies were simply glad to have a new series in their franchise.
"Deep Space Nine" lasted seven seasons, and was followed by "Star Trek: Voyager," and later "Star Trek: Enterprise." The complete series has been released on DVD, and is currently available on various streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video.

Submission + - Blue Origin Rocket Test Flight Fails (discovery.com)
astroengine writes: "An experimental suborbital space vehicle developed by Blue Origin, a space startup founded by Amazon.com chief Jeff Bezos, was lost during a test flight last week. During the secretive flight, the vehicle reached an altitude of 45,000 feet and attained a velocity of Mach 1.2. Soon after, things went horribly wrong. "A flight instability drove an angle of attack that triggered our range safety system to terminate thrust on the vehicle," said an upbeat Bezos in Friday's statement."

The practical part of preparing your child for ski school — having proper equipment and how to layer, for example — is only one aspect of it. Equally important (if not more so) is emotional preparedness, which will help the child get the most out of his or her lesson, plus provide the foundation for a long-term interest in skiing or snowboarding.
At Aspen/Snowmass, this less-tangible side of learning to ski or snowboard is at the heart of every lesson. Pros use the CAT model (which has cognitive, affective, and physical components) to help their students achieve. And the "affective" piece of the equation — the emotional aspect — "almost supersedes all other things," says Alex Kendrick, Buttermilk Children's Coordinator for the ski schools.
"If a child is a very strong skier but they're afraid or don't feel included, it doesn't matter what they physically can do," says Kendrick. "We want to make sure they're comfortable before anything else. We're teaching people here — I call them little humans — and everyone comes to us with different needs and different experiences."
Here are some questions to consider when enrolling your children in ski school, along with Kendrick's tips to help them have a positive experience that can translate into a long-term affinity for the sport:
How can I, as a parent, help prepare my child emotionally for a ski or snowboard lesson?
Ask your child what they'd like to do, what their goals are (the way you ask the questions will depend on the child's age). Ask what they're excited about and what they're concerned about. Understanding what the child's expectations are can help mold the parents' expectations.
Especially with kids who are tentative and may not want to go, it's important to have this conversation. Tell them that this is an opportunity to learn a lot, to make new friends, or to have an instructor who can show them all the cool stuff on the mountain. Sometimes, it's just about taking the time to introduce them to their instructor and talk to them about what they're going to be doing that day, and who they're going to be with.
What about at the end of the day, especially the first day? What should I talk to my child about to make sure the remainder of the lesson goes well?
As a parent, we want to ask our kids, "What did you learn today?" But typically a child will not know how to answer that; they'll say, "Nothing."
A good set of questions starts with, "Did you have fun?" To find out what they learned, you have to be more creative. Ask them what the best part of the day was, and what would they have changed if they could. If they say they wished they could go faster, maybe they need a higher-level lesson. But if they say they were scared or had trouble getting down the slope, maybe it's worth talking to the instructor about whether they're in too advanced of a class.
What can I do at the end of the lesson to best prepare us for skiing or snowboarding together as a family?
We strongly recommend that the parents talk to the children's instructor at the end of the lesson. Ask what runs are appropriate for the family to ski together. Ask what skills they've worked on throughout the lesson. Then, allow your child to shine and to show off the skills he or she learned in ski school. Let them lead you down the run.
We also talk a lot about safety, so let the child tell the parents about the safety tips he or she learned as well.
Some additional tips for getting ready:
- If you have a child who is tentative or has never experienced snowsports before, there are plenty of online opportunities to get them prepared visually before leaving home. Look at the website of the resort you're going to; show them trail maps and photos. If they can start to see some of things they're going to experience online, then when they arrive it won't all be so brand-new looking.
- Talk to your kids about what the experience is going to be like. In order to set them up for success, sometimes kids need to know in advance what it will be like to get that emotional reinforcement.
- If possible, come out to the mountain the day before the lesson starts. This gives children the opportunity to see where they're going to be, to see the instructors dressed in red uniforms, and to get a feel for what they're going to be doing. For a child, information is power; it can assuage a lot of fears.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's Steve Spurrier has received a one-year contract extension and a raise that will pay the coach $4 million annually.
With the raise, Spurrier becomes one of the top 10 highest-paid college football coaches in the country.
Spurrier's nine assistant coaches also received raises that put their combined compensation at $3.3 million, up from the $2.7 the group earned this past season.
All assistants were given new two-year contract agreements except for defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward, who received a three-year deal. Also earning a raise was quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus, whose salary was frozen for a year after his arrest for urinating in public. Mangus' salary increased $100,000 to $275,000.
Ward will be the highest-paid assistant at $750,000, a $100,000 raise. The biggest boost came for offensive line coach Shawn Elliott, who saw his compensation rise from $305,000 to $430,000 next fall.
Spurrier thanked Pastides, Tanner and the board for the new contracts and raises.
''We all hope to coach here many more years and we still have some goals that have not been accomplished yet,'' he said.
Spurrier led the Gamecocks to a third-straight 11-2 season. Before he arrived in 2004, South Carolina had only one 10-win season in history.
''It was a fun year. I tell you what, our players found a way to win all these games,'' Spurrier said. ''We didn't clobber a lot of people. These guys know how to play in the fourth quarter.''
Tanner said he talked with Spurrier about the new deals shortly after South Carolina's 31-17 victory over Clemson on Nov. 30 - the Gamecocks' record-setting fifth straight over their rivals.
Spurrier was most concerned about making sure his assistants were adequately compensated, Tanner said.
The coach talked about raises on his call-in show Wednesday night, saying Tanner ''has done a super job of (saying), `Hey, what's right and how can we aligned in the SEC competitive wise with coaches salaries?' The president and from what I am hearing the Board of Trustees think that keeps us where we should be.''
It would also mean be the first time in Spurrier's nine seasons the assistants he finished one season with all returned for the next one.
Tanner, the two-time national championship baseball coach turned head administrator, said it was his thought to add the clause about Spurrier remaining with the school after he leaves as football coach. Spurrier told Tanner he has enjoyed living in Columbia and planned to stay when his time on the field was finished.
The post-football position is based on Spurrier maintaining a residence in town and either Pastides or Tanner remaining in their current positions.
Tanner stressed the special assistant spot was not an exit strategy for Spurrier, who'll be 73 should he stay for the length of the deal.
''Age is just a number,'' Tanner said.
Right now, leaving the field seems as far from Spurrier's mind as possible. Spurrier has said he didn't plan on coaching into his 80s like Florida State's Bobby Bowden and the late Joe Paterno at Penn State, and the Capital One Bowl victory over Wisconsin was his 300th game as a college coach. Still, the school's all-time wins leader said he's excited about the success the team has had the past few years and anxious to see what else they can achieve.
''If you continue doing what you did in your 50s, then the age factor doesn't kick in,'' Spurrier said on his radio show. ''It doesn't kick in until you don't know what you are doing. Hopefully, I still know what is happening out there.''

declines. India's stock market continue to reel from yesterday's economic data, which showed India's economy growing at a 5% clip, the slowest in 10 years. The Sensex lost 1.5% this week, the largest weekly loss since September.
The iPath MSCI India Index (INP) exchange-traded note has dropped 0.2% today to $60.52, while the iShares MSCI India Index (INDA) exchange-traded fund has advanced 0.2%.
MakeMyTrip (MMYT), the Indian travel agency, has dropped 1.05% to $14.10 this morning after reporting disappointing earnings, which prompted Oppenheimer's Manish Hemrajani to cut his earnings per share target for the stock. He writes:
December-quarter results were impacted by capacity constraints in India's domestic air market…MMYT managed to grow transaction volumes by 16%…However, net Air margins declined 120bps to an all time low of 5.3%.
Revenue, however should be fine, and Hemrajani kept the stock rated an outperform with a $20 price target.

I need some help with a mod rewrite.
I have a web application up and running on a subdomain (http://foo.bar.com)
I want to be able to access this application from a directory on the root domain. (http://www.bar.com/foo).
I see how you can do the reverse of this, but I can't get it to work. I don't want to redirect it, I want the site (http://foo.bar.com) to be accessible through both domains.
How can I get this done with mod_rewrite?
You will have to redirect it, just use what is called a transparent redirect, the user never has to know that the url was redirected server side.
Just drop the [R] or [R=...] from the redirect line.

Never stayed in casper but I sure anywhere would be "pro hunter", It's Wyoming, not California
I drew and elk tag (cow) area 19 and a goat tag area 31. I am thinking of staying in the casper area instead of bringing out a travel trailer. any good "pro Hunter" hotels or cabins to rent. Has any one heard of Rivers edge RV resort?
Never stayed in casper but I sure anywhere would be "pro hunter", It's Wyoming, not California
-NRA Life Member
I stayed in a lodge type motel on the east edge of town. Awesome place and would stay there again in a second.
We stayed in the cheapest we could find. A motel 6. We were only there long enough to get a little sleep every night.
heck i live in casper and never heard of that resort.
Wapitibob i believe you stayed at the c'mon inn thats a nice place
anyplace here will be pro hunter just pick a price range
i drew a 19 bull tag this year for the third year in a row good luck
That's the one...
I keep forgetting that once i leave Ca. That lots of folks are pro hunters. We drew goats and muleys last year and that was my visit to Wy. I must say i loved it! I will check out your suggestion. Rfurman24 is right just a place to rest my head and wash some
Blood off my hands. I hope. I spoke to a gentleman at kompac meats. Is he a good butcher??
I used Hy-Country last year on antelope & he done a good job. He had a very clean facility.
"Only two people have died for You and I, The American Soldier died for Our Freedom & Jesus Christ Died for Our Souls!" I thank GOD for them! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

We stayed in the Motel 6 last year and did not have any problems. We hunted all day and didn't return till after dark. This year I booked a suit equipped with a full kitchen for my antelope hunt in September. There was a great sports bar across the street that served great food at a decent price and was never over crowded.
Ive heard Kompac is a good butcher biut he is really limited on space and fills up fast. I personally have used dans meat for years even when they have a wait they will take my animals when i show up and i like how they package the meat.
That bar across the street from motel 6 was called sidelines, recently changed owners and became a country western bar havent heard any reviews on food but it is alot slower than sidelines was.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Reggie Bush will be active for today's game with the Cardinals.
That's the decision based on work during a 45-minute pregame workout, done under the vigilant eye of coach Joe Philbin, general manager Jeff Ireland and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman.
Bush looked a bit tentative early in the workout session but he got much better as the work continued and certainly good enough to earn a spot on the active roster today.
More to come including the live blog which will start in the comments section.
The Dolphins inactive is out and it confirms what I've reported. Bush is active. He will start.
The inactives are Pat Devlin, Marlon Moore, Austin Spitler, Will Yeatman, Tony McDaniel, and Rishard Matthews. Darnell Dockett is not active for Arizona, suggesting the Dolphins should be able to run the ball today.

Contract Positions
Contract positions, according to Monster.com, make up 32 percent of the IT job postings, down from 35 percent in 2010, which Monster.com attributed to "minor improvements in the economy and [IT] industry." Although it's a small change, it's one that's been felt. "[VARs] were really focused on consultants. And, if they worked out, [they could] look at bringing them on full-time," Bier said. "But, if you take that mentality of 'I'm gonna try them before I buy them,' a lot of the viable candidates are going to say they already have full-time positions they're exploring."
That means contractors are in a unique position. "The advice I can give for the contract job seeker," Bier said, "is to make sure that it's something … you can put on your resume -- communication, migration to the new Cisco unified communication system. If you're doing something short term, let it be something for these emerging technologies." And, because contracting lends itself to gaining new skills quickly, it becomes important that candidates keep their info current. "Keep your information on LinkedIn updated," Bier stressed.

But in double battles, not a good move if your teammate is weak to water. answered May 9, 2012 by Nascarfan73 Surf if generally regarded as the better move because of its accuracy. commented May 10, 2012 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Surf Man. Surf has tons of power, plus high PP and a killer HM move. Not to mention it looks cooler. Only thing is that if you are playing G4, dont forget to delete it when you transfer your pokemon or they wont let you do it. I had to delete Surf off my surfing Pikachu level 100 (You get it in Battle Revolution, not a hack) and now I feel sad :( answered May 12, 2012 by starmarx39 Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Surf - Ok, surf is helpful outside of the battle and also the strongest HM of the game, It I would say has Exceptional Power and can be useful during parts of the game So Surf wouldn't be a bad choice if it is what you chose. Hydro Pump - Hydro Pump is awesome and much stronger than Surf it would be an awesome Choice during a Gym/Pkmn Trainer Battle but if you want a good ouside and In battle move It shouldn't be Hydro Pump. Hydro Pump Though is a great battle Move. As You can See Either would be a great choice :D For Battle: Hydro Pump Outside & In- Battle: Surf **Hope I helped :)** answered May 9, 2012 by Overload Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Surf: Pros: 100 Accuracy, 95 power. Can take you around the Region. Hits multiple foes. Max 24 PP. Plenty of Pokemon can learn it. Cons: Hits allies, which can be bad if they are weak to water. Can't be deleted easily. Hydro Pump: Pros: 120 Power, being Baws during Rain. 80 Accuracy, which is decent. Cons: Max PP of 8. Only available to Water types, Staryu learns it at level 60. Go with surf for dat Power. answered May 11, 2012 by Ninja Don't you mean Hydro Pump for that power?? commented May 12, 2012 by 5th of November Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Surf is a good move hence it's an Hm,and that it connects well. POWER:95 ACCURACY:100 CATEGORY:Special Although Hydropump has pretty decent power,the same with most powerful moves,it has lower accuracy. POWER:120 ACCURACY:80 CATEGORY:Special Using this,I'd say use surf. Hope this helps. :D answered May 9, 2012 by kingdomhearts Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Use surf! I don't wanna copy anyone else's answer so i'll add on that remember Surf is an HM move! You can go across water + it has 100 accuracy! answered May 9, 2012 by Gʟɪɢᴜʀʀ Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Surf It's a pretty strong move but as Nascarfan said your teammate might have a disadvantage. It is also very useful in the game as you can travel through water with it. Hydro Pump A powerful water type attack most water types learn this move. It's accuracy is 85% so there is a chance it might miss but you could use items to increase it's accuracy. (Forgot the name) Summary Surf is a decent move with 100% acc and 95 power, but Hydro pump is a stronger move and can probably take out most pokemon. But it has low acc, if you want to take a risk and go for a strong move pick Hydro pump if you want to stay safe and make sure you don't miss pick surf. Hope this helped =) answered May 11, 2012 by Pok£Maniac edited May 12, 2012 by Pok£Maniac Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Surf: (Gen 1-5) 95 power (Gen 6) 90 power 100% accuracy Special attack Hydro Pump: (Gen 1-5) 120 power (Gen 6) 110 power 80% accuracy Special attack Also surf hits every Pokemon on the battle field which has it's ups and downs! Personally I would go with scald 80 power 100% accuracy and 30% chance to burn but it depends on if you like power or accuracy, I like hydro pump but surf is better Hope I helped answered Aug 29, 2014 by pikaplanet Please log in or register to add a comment.

Well, it's that time of year again. The swingset in the backyard sits alone. The bikes and scooters have been tossed in the garage. The trashy $15 blow-up pool has been discarded.
And it's not just the "stuff" that sits there like a boat that's run aground. Trips to the park, the zoo, even the flea market - mothballed until spring.
Discontent, meet winter.
I've never been a fan of the cold weather. I'm more a surf n' sandals type of fella, much more at home in the heat than the chill. As a kid, I preferred baseball in the backyard over ice skating. As an adult, things like skiing only interested me in the "sitting in the lodge drinking and flirting" kind of way, but even with that, I never once went on a ski trip. And now, as a parent of two little kids, winter is similar in scope to a prison sentence.
But I've found a cure to what ails me. It's not a perfect solution, but whatever works, you know?
I am a Target Zombie.
You will find me wandering the aisles of my local Target. And also my non-local Targets. Any Target will do. I'll be there with my son. Or my son and daughter. Or my son and daughter and wife. Any combination thereof. We will hit the $1 bin. The toy aisle. We will meander aimlessly. We will pass the time.
You may ask yourself, "What the hell is wrong with this guy?" And it's a valid question. But I have found Target to be the perfect place to while away a winter's day. Why? I'll tell you why …
1) That dollar bin when you first walk in the store. Glowsticks. Mickey Mouse and superhero books. Foam swords. Just a grab bag of useless junk. And it's all a dollar. A dollar! My son will spend an hour flitting about the dollar bin section, and the whole time, I'm like … "You can pick one thing," and he's all excited, and I just bought myself an hour of checking Rotoworld and Twitter on my phone. All for a buck.
2) Better baseball card selection than Walmart. I can spend a good 20 minutes there.
3) Walmart in general is too depressing. People - present company included - go to Walmart because they actually need things. Nobody goes to Target out of need. It's just a fun little jaunt.
4) Toys R Us? Please. No dollar bins there.
5) The mall? Not enough for the kids.
6) Tremendous amount of hot moms. There. I said it. There are more hot moms per square foot at Target than any other place on Earth. And while I'm happily married to a hot mom myself, I'm also not dead. We all do it check out the merchandise. Don't judge.
7) The sale racks. I'll take a gander at the clothes. Always great off-season deals. Just bought a pair of shorts for $7.99. Totally psyched.
8) Almost never a line at checkout. Not sure what mathematical formula they've got going on there, but there's almost always a good ratio of cashiers to customers. Because nothing is more aggravating than waiting on line for a half-hour to buy a glowstick for $1.07.
9) Some of the moms are really, really hot. Total babes. People get dressed up to go to Target. It's like flying on a jet plane in the 1950s. Classed up joint.
And finally, because there has to be 10 reasons ...
10) I find the red motif invigorating.
It's going to be a long winter, huh?

Absolut Pulls Controversial Advertisement
Swedish vodka maker, Absolut has pulled a controversial advertisement that showed a map of the United States and Mexico as they were before the Mexican American War. The advertisement read "In An Absolut World."
A spokesperson for Absolut said that the ad wasn't meant to stir up anti-American sentiment.
"In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues," a spokeswoman wrote on Absolut's Web site.
"Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal," she wrote.

WESTERN Zone selector Tim Cox is adamant the side can go all the way and win the NSW Country Championship final after the squad progressed through the southern pool on the weekend.
Led by Parkes' Pat Rosser, Western beat Riverina and Southern on the opening two days of the carnival before facing off against Illawarra on Sunday.
The clash was a rematch of last season's final, which Illawarra won, but on this occasion it was the Western boys that got the job done.
Western's progression to the final was vindication for the selection policies employed by Cox, Greg Griffith (Bathurst) and Neil Hamilton (Parkes) who made eight changes to the squad that made last year's final.
"I'm not sure if Western has ever made the final two consecutive years before but regardless of that it is a great effort," Cox said.
"We picked a side that was in form, had played some good cricket at Premier League level and in council games and they did a great job.
"Batting first in each game obviously helped because the boys were able to get decent totals on the board and then make the most of the pitches as they started to deteriorate.
"We had some youth in the squad and they didn't let us down. Liam Gough from Orange took the new ball and he finished one wicket from tying the carnival record.
"The boys have now put themselves well and truly in the frame for the NSW Country squad as well, which is a top achievement for any cricketer."
Western will now face the winner of the northern pool, with Newcastle, Central Coast and Central North to do battle this weekend for the right to the other spot in the final.
Based on past performances, Newcastle will start warm favourites to win that division.
That scenario would set up a mouth-watering contest with Western, who upset the perennially strong Novocastrians last season on the way to the final.
"In the same way we were determined against Illawarra, I would imagine Newcastle are keen to get another crack at us," Cox said.
"I'd favour Newcastle to go through out of that group but if there's a danger it is probably Central Coast as they have some good players in their squad as well."
At this stage, regardless of who Western meets in the final, it is set to be played at Orange's Wade Park.
"Last year we had to travel to Wollongong for the final and we did some lobbying after that and put forward a case that if we made another final in the near future that we get to host it," Cox said.
"It's a credit to the Western Zone officials for putting forward that case and to Wade Park for getting a beautiful complex together that is capable of hosting such a game."

Polymer Patches May Enable Effective DNA Vaccines 83
Zothecula writes "Taking a two-month-old in for vaccination shots and watching them get stuck with six needles in rapid succession can be painful for child and parent alike. If the work of an MIT team of researchers pans out, those needles may be thing of the past thanks to a new dissolvable polymer film that allows the vaccination needle to be replaced with a patch. This development will not only make vaccinations less harrowing, but also allow for developing and delivering vaccines for diseases too dangerous for conventional techniques." The patch was designed with delivering DNA-based vaccines in mind. Thus far efforts to use DNA to generate more robust and safe vaccines has failed thanks to the immune system destroying them; the polymer film embeds itself in your skin and slowly dissolves, protecting the DNA in the process.

Release Notes: Much expansion of integrated Web services for telephony, and introduction of telephony network eventing to allow remote clients to receive Bayonne events serialized as XML over HTTP. The ability to exchange Bayonne documents and audio over the integrated Web server. Support for new and special proxy mode authentication calling in the SIP driver.
Release Notes: This release completes the Bayonne XMLRPC service and adds a Unix local socket XMLRPC transport (for those not wishing to expose Bayonne internal API access over a network) and more user identity and destination dialing enhancements.
Release Notes: Support for using Bayonne to operate as a "public" Internet telephony portal or SIP proxy, including the ability for arbitrary outside parties to call Bayonne hosted URI destinations, forwarding and redirecting of calls, and support for virtual "named hosting" of dialing plans.
Release Notes: Dynamic runtime reloading of configuration keys and driver settings is now supported. New simplified dialplan rules for fast hash-based lookup of dialed destinations through dialed.conf. New did/callerid handling rules.
Release Notes: The introduction of integrated Bayonne XMLRPC services to manage and remotely control Bayonne. The introduction of PBX style call session management in the Bayonne architecture.
Release Notes: Zeroconf networking support was added through a new zeroconf plugin that talks to avahi over dbus and publishes Bayonne2 network resources (such as Bayonne SIP and Bayonne web services). Support for sending SNMP traps from the server and through scripting languages was integrated.
Release Notes: Code cleanup was done and new baseline libraries are used for future development: ccrtp >= 1.5.0, Common C++ >= 1.5.0, and ccscript3 >= 1.1.0.
Release Notes: Lots of minor enhancements were made in SIP operation, including the ability to specify answering mode attributes in registry and extension properties. Delayed answering and unbilling call rejection is supported, as well as extended 3g/ims answering handshakes, along with improvements in sdp negotiation and support for sdp codec attributes. Improvements have been made to silent filled audio in rtp (Bayonne normally defaults to supression of silent RTP packets to reduce network traffic).
Release Notes: Related hold and transfer/transfer recall of bridged calls on SIP extensions are now supported. Some improvement was done in call setup. Bridge based call detail reporting was introduced alongside segment reporting. Call connect modes were added for prepaid calling as well as for normal calling.
Release Notes: Server audio and scripting can be placed on hold and resumed under control of extension. Hold/resume has been integrated into webservices and monitor. Call bridges now generate separate billing records. Smarter use of reconnect through re-invite in peg legged SIP calling. Direct support for SIP gateways, both those registered through Bayonne and those associated with an external service provider.

I searched and didn't find any reference to this story here, which sort of surprises me. I'd have thought Cyburbians would be all over a topic like this.
First few paragraphs:
FLINT, Mich. Dozens of proposals have been floated over the years to slow this citys endless decline. Now another idea is gaining support: speed it up.
Instead of waiting for houses to become abandoned and then pulling them down, local leaders are talking about demolishing entire blocks and even whole neighborhoods.
The population would be condensed into a few viable areas. So would stores and services. A city built to manufacture cars would be returned in large measure to the forest primeval.

Roy Hodgson is insistent that Wayne Rooney be chosen in England's Euro 2012 squad, despite receiving a three-match ban that means he'll miss the group stage of the tournament.
The England striker was sent off for kicking-out during England's final qualifier for next summer's European Championships and has been handed an extended ban meaning he'll miss all three group games in Poland and Ukraine.
The ban has sparked debate as whether Rooney, who would only be eligible for the knock-out phase of the competition if selected, should occupy one of the 23 players in Fabio Capello's squad.
"I'm surprised it's even a debate," Hodgson said.
"The discussion over whether he should go for me shouldn't even be raised.
"I think England will get through the qualifying stages and are always capable of winning one of these tournaments and the last thing you want to do is leave a player of Wayne Rooney's caliber at home because you'll never know when you'll need him.
"You might need him in the final to win it for you.
"Should he go? No question. Should the FA do everything they can to reduce the ban? No question."
Hodgson has been long tipped as a replacement to Fabio Capello following next summer's tournament, but is currently working wonders with West Bromwich Albion after a difficult spell with Liverpool, Rooney's opponents this weekend.
"Players of Wayne Rooney's caliber don't come up everyday so there's no doubt he'll be very, very sorely missed," Hodgson added.
"For me he's a player that's in the top, top echelons and I'm rather hoping they'll be an appeal and I'm rather hoping that the ban will be reduced. "
Apart from being a intrinsic part of England's attack, Rooney performances, particularly during the past two years, means he's considered in many quarters to be one of finest players in Europe, and Hodgson feels the absence of the 25-year-old next summer is a great loss for lovers of the game.
"I think it's a tragedy that for those of us that love football and are looking forward to the European Championships where we want to see the best players playing," the Baggies boss continued.
"They are going to be deprived of one of Europe's best players, certainly one of England's best players if not England's best player being unable to play all through the qualifying rounds.
"I find that very sad."
