Brand: Ranger
- Product Details
This ink is the result of the fusion of pigment and dye, and the result has unique qualities.
Designed by Tim Holtz, reactive to water, ideal to combine and work with our usual distress inks.
This new range of Oxide colours is opaque and very covering, , it imitates the rusty effect once water is applied and combines to perfection the palette of colours distress.
The more water you apply to it, the greater the rust effect and the more the dye gets blurred. In the dark colours the rust effect is stronger.
You may use them with stamps, brushes, stencils or you may apply them directly onto a surface. Its consistence makes it possible to even stamp over dark colours.
They're easily blurred and mixed, although you can get some help with a aplicador.
The effect is matt, chalk style once dry (if no water has been applied to get the rust effect).

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's basketball team got things going in the second half against visiting Johnson & Wales in their 2009-10 season opener at the Tripp Athletic Center Tuesday evening.
The Corsairs used a 17-5 run at the outset of the second half to take the lead, outscored the Wildcats, 41-10 in the first 12 minutes and 46 seconds after intermission and cruised to a 105-77 victory in their 2009-10 season opener.
Senior guard Jeff Macchi (Franklin, MA/Franklin HS) and junior forward Brandon Stephens (Dorchester, MA/Newton North HS) traded layups with JWU's sophomore guard Tavarius Roberson (Orlando, FL/Orlando Jones HS) as the second half began before a jumper by sophomore point guard Paul Rose (Boston, MA/North Cambridge Catholic HS/Massachusetts Bay CC) and a pair of layups by Macchi broke a 51-all tie and gave UMD the lead for good. Junior guard Justin Adams (Providence, RI/Feinstein HS) hit a three-pointer, but a senior forward Matt Walker (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS) hit a layup that ignited a 7-0 run that allowed UMass Dartmouth to take command. A jumper by sophomore guard Alex Klepadlo (Bernardston, MA/Pioneer Valley HS) pushed the lead to 11 points at 70-59, and the Corsairs scored the next 18 points to seize an 88-59 advantage with 7:14 remaining.
Macchi's three-pointer and a pair of layups by sophomore center Lance Greene (Dorchester, MA/Charlestown HS/Western Texas JC) gave UMD an early 22-13 lead, but the Wildcats fought back, using treys by Adams and freshman guard Kelley Davis (Paterson, NJ/Manchester Regional HS) to cut the lead to three. Roberson's layup tied the game at 45-45 with 1:51 left in the first half, and layups by junior guard Lewis Ferreras (Providence, RI/CCRI) and senior center Paul Nicholson (Halifax, NC/Weldon HS) sent JWU into the halftime break with a 49-47 advantage.
"We played poorly in the first half," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Brian Baptiste. "At the same time, they shot extremely well in the first half, and we didn't change things as far as strategy went, but we were able to put on more pressure in the second half. We might have been a little nervous, or it might have been some first game jitters."
JWU made 59.5 per cent of their shots from the field in the first half, but the Corsairs held them to 31.3 per cent in the second half, and Greene came off the bench in his first game at UMD for a double double with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
"Even though we were smaller last year, we tried to get the ball inside," said Baptiste. "I don't think we can succeed being a totally perimeter-oriented team. Now, with Lance, we have an inside post presence."
Macchi and Walker each scored 19 points to lead the Corsairs, while Stephens added 16 and Rose had 15. Sophomore guard Lamonte Thomas (Providence, RI/The Met. School) led JWU with 17 points; Davis added 14 and Adams had 11. UMD out rebounded the Wildcats, 42-33, and shot 59.5 per cent from the field in the second half and 57.5 per cent for the game.
Prior to the game, Bob Duarte presented Baptiste and Assistant Coach Len Desautels with plaques honoring their achievements as UMass Dartmouth coaches. Baptiste won the 500th game of his career last spring, and Desautels was honored for having won more than 300 games as an assistant coach.
The Corsairs improved to 1-0 with the victory, while the Wildcats dropped to 0-2 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host the University of New England in the second game of the Hampton Inn Classic Friday night. Johnson & Wales will travel to the Illinois Wesleyan Invitational Tournament this weekend.

Photo Assumption: Kate & Albert
Time to play a Royal Olympic edition of Photo Assumption...
There were two royal weddings last year - one was young and exuberant, the other was, literally, weepy and depressing.
Here are Catherine of William and Albert of Monaco at synchronised swimming today. Kate, of course, would never betray all those years of royal practice and training by dry heaving in his face while he's leaning over to, I dunno, impart his wisdom. But her smile...seems more frozen on her face than ever..
Please let him not be looking down my shirt.
Please make him stop talking soon.
Please will he lean back when I have to turn around to acknowledge him because I don't want to smell his breath.
Do I think Kate has seen this video? Please. Of course she has. She probably watched it with Her Majesty and the corgis throwing back a shot of gin every time he looks at Charlene with irritation at her tears, or has to catch himself looking up at the sky in exasperation, or when he winks at someone off camera (my favourite).
PS. Kate was also at boxing today cheering on Nicola Adams - huzzah!

Nausea is the feeling of having an urge to vomit. It is often called being sick to your stomach.
Vomiting or throwing up is forcing the contents of the stomach up through the esophagus and out of the mouth.
Alternative Names
Emesis; Vomiting; Stomach upset; Upset stomach
Common Causes
- Food allergies
- Infections of the stomach or bowels, such as the "stomach flu" or food poisoning
- Leaking of stomach contents (food or liquid) upwards (also called gastroesophageal reflux or GERD)
- Medications or medical treatments, such as cancer chemotherapy or radiation treatment
- Migraine headaches
- Morning sickness during pregnancy
- Seasickness or motion sickness
- Severe pain, such as with kidney stones
Nausea and vomiting may also be early warning signs of more serious medical problems, such as:
- Appendicitis
- Blockage in the intestines
- Cancer or a tumor
- Ingesting a drug or poison, especially by children
- Ulcers in the lining of the stomach or small intestine
Home Care
Once you and your doctor find the cause, you will want to know how to treat your nausea or vomiting. You may be asked to take medicine, change your diet, or try other things to make you feel better.
It is very important to keep enough fluids in your body. Try drinking frequent, small amounts of clear liquids.
If you have morning sickness during pregnancy, ask your doctor about the many possible treatments.
The following may help treat motion sickness:
- Lying down
- Over-the-counter antihistamines (such as Dramamine)
- Scopolamine prescription skin patches (such as Transderm Scop) are useful for extended trips, such as an ocean voyage. Place the patch 4 – 12 hours before setting sail. Scopolamine is effective but may produce dry mouth, blurred vision, and some drowsiness. Scopolamine is for adults only. It should NOT be given to children.
Call your healthcare provider if
Call 911 or go to an emergency room if:
- You think vomiting is from poisoning
- You notice blood or dark, coffee-colored material in the vomit
Call a healthcare provider right away or seek medical care if you or another person has:
Been vomiting for longer than 24 hours
Been unable to keep any fluids down for 12 hours or more
Headache or stiff neck
Not urinated for 8 or more hours
Severe stomach or belly pain
Vomited three or more times in 1 day
Signs of dehydration include:
- Crying without tears
- Dry mouth
- Increased thirst
- Eyes that appear sunken
- Skin changes — for example, if you touch or squeeze the skin, it doesn't bounce back the way it usually does
- Urinating less often or having dark yellow urine
What to expect at your healthcare provider's office
Your healthcare provider will perform a physical examination, and will look for signs of dehydration.
Your healthcare provider will ask questions about your symptoms, such as:
- When did the vomiting begin? How long has it lasted? How often does it occur?
- Does it occur after you eat, or on an empty stomach?
- What other symptoms are present — abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea, or headaches?
- Are you vomiting blood?
- Are you vomiting anything that looks like coffee grounds?
- Are you vomiting undigested food?
- When was the last time you urinated?
Other questions you may be asked include:
- Have you been losing weight?
- Have you been traveling? Where?
- What medications do you take?
- Did other people who ate at the same place as you have the same symptoms?
- Are you pregnant or could you be pregnant?
These diagnostic tests may be performed:
- Blood tests (such as CBC with differential, blood electrolyte levels, and liver function tests)
- Urinalysis
- X-rays of the abdomen
Depending on the cause and how much extra fluids you need, you may have to stay in the hospital or clinic for a period of time. You may need fluids given through your veins (intravenous or IV).

Alice Cooper Delivers One-of-a-Kind Commencement Speech
Most graduation ceremonies feature some boring person droning on as everyone checks their watches and wonders when they can leave. But what if your commencement speaker was Alice Cooper?
On Saturday, 600 grads from the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles were treated to witty oratory from the shock-rocker, who also received an honorary doctorate from the school.
Since it's his second such award, he quipped, "One more of these and I can write prescriptions."
And what kind of wisdom did he impart on the musicians?
After more than 40 years in the business, had a lot of insights to share, starting with, "First of all, the fact that I am here as your keynote speaker raises a lot of red flags. It show's an obvious lack of judgment on your part."
He also told the graduates that mediocrity is their greatest enemy, so if they're going to be in the industry, be fearless.
"If you succeed, you become a genius," he said. "If you fail, you become an idiot. You can always start again."
Cooper also dropped a few very famous names, including this anecdote about the King of Rock and Roll himself:
Elvis said to me, 'Hey, man, yer that cat with the makeup and the snakes. That's cool, man. I dig that' … So there I was with a loaded snub nose Smith and Wesson 38 aimed at Elvis Presley. The little devil on my shoulder said, 'Kill him.' The angel the other shoulder said, 'No, just wound him …'
We bet that's a speech during which no one ever checked the time.
When he isn't warping young minds, Cooper is prepping for the May 22 release of his concert DVD, 'The Strange Case of Alice Cooper,' and in June, he'll perform at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.

National liberation movement
From Conservapedia
(Redirected from National movement)
National Liberation Movement is a Marxist-Leninist doctrinaire tenet to justify subversion by any means, including violence, legitimate "capitalist" or "bourgeois" regimes. The terms national revolutionary movement or national liberation struggle are also used interchangeably. The doctrine was articulated by V.I. Lenin in 1916:
|The social revolution cannot come about except in the form of an epoch of proletarian civil war against the bourgeoisie in the advanced countries combined with a whole series of democratic and revolutionary movements, including movements for national liberation, in the undeveloped, backward and oppressed nations.[1]
Once the Bolsheviks were in power in Russia however, any attempt on the part of the subjugated peoples to break away from the Socialist Union of nations was considered counter-revolutionary activity.[2]

Industrial Design for Water Filtration "Bike"
Our company is developing a product that would provide marginalized communities in our country immediate and affordable access to electricity and potable water.
Currently, we have a working prototype. It takes the form of an actual bike connected to two "boxes". We need a mechanical engineer and an industrial designer to make our prototype more ergonomic. Together, the challenge is to make it more portable, cost-effective in terms of the materials used, and efficient.
A technical drawing, 3D model, and some solidwork may be necessary deliverables in this project.
I could send you photos and metrics of the prototype we have now. We could likewise talk about further design specifications should you be interested in joining us in solving our company's current challenge.

Investors had every reason not to trust the market after last year's Facebook fiasco—a high-profile initial public offering gone bad on multiple levels.
Yet a year later, the stock market continues to rocket higher and the IPO climate is on balance better as well.
Facebook itself? Well, that's another matter.
But of all the negativity surrounding the company, it's highly publicized market flop seems to be exhibiting few contagion effects.
(Watch: What's Next For Apple and Facebook?)
"It definitely made some investors shy away from the market," said Dave Rovelli, managing director of U.S. trading at Canaccord Genuity. "But they have no place else to put their money, and that's why they're trickling back in now."

WWII Plane Crash: Texas Plane Crash Kills Man Taking Flight to Celebrate 41st Wedding Anniversary
A vintage WWII plane has crashed on Wednesday, resulting in the tragic death of two men.
The pilot and a paying passenger, who was celebrating his 41st wedding anniversary, died when the WWII 9-51 Mustang crashed in Galveston Bay, Texas, according to AP.
The pilot has been named as 51-year-old Keith Hibbet.
John Stephen Busby, 66, has been named as the passenger who was killed in the crash. He was visiting from the United Kingdom.
Busby and his wife traveled to Texas to celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary. He had paid nearly $2,000 for the fatal flight in the vintage Mustang.
The plane reportedly went down in water about 4 feet deep.
The plane was operated by the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston and the pilot was not in contact with air traffic controllers at the time of the crash, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford.
The P-51 Mustang was built in 1944. The museum's website states: "The P-51 is regarded by many as the most effective fighter aircraft produced during World War II. Known for its maneuverability, speed and range, the P-51 quickly made an impact over the skies of Germany by providing essential fighter escort to American bombers along their entire route.
"The LSFM P-51 Mustang is painted in the markings of Galveston Gal, an aircraft assigned to the 359th Fighter Group flown by Galveston native Ray Lancaster. This P-51 was converted to a two-seat, dual control TF-51 while serving in the El Salvadoran Air Force in the 1960s."
The cause of the crash has not been determined yet and FAA authorities are still investigating the tragic accident.

Intestin-ol combines the essential oils of thyme, clove, and oregano (standardized to contain thymol, eugenol, and carvacrol, respectfully) all in one potent softgel. These oils cause cellular and metabolic damage to Candida albicans, which ultimately leads to the cells death. Studies also show essential oils from thyme, clove, and oregano interfere with the starting phases of Candida biofilm production as well as with mature biofilms and support a healthy microflora balance.

My Secret Wreath Hanging Method
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
I'm not a fan of big fan of bows, but I do like pretty ribbon or in this case fabric. I could hang our wreath on a wreath hanger, but the location of the door knocker makes it difficult and the wreath flops back & forth. So what I do is this. Que the Mission Impossible music...
Taking the fabric or ribbon that has been cut to the length needed, I hang the wreath using thumb tacks like these.
This is a view of the very top of the door (which is made of wood). The number of tacks I use varies depending on the weight of the wreath. By the way, this wreath is heavy. I used seven tacks total. After the tacks are in place, I cut off the excess fabric if there is any so that from the inside of the door you do not see the ribbon.
As if ya'll aren't completely sick of seeing my front door...I used this same method a couple of years ago using jute upholstery webbing and still receive questions about it.
If you like to hang wreaths on your windows, this trick works on windows as well. However, it might require wooden windows.
Hopefully this answers the question. So are you all decorated for Christmas or like me and waiting until the mood strikes?
20 comments:
Yes! That is my method for hanging our wreaths, too! I love that fabric you used Rene. So pretty. It looks like it has a lovely sheen or a little shimmer to it. I've only put out one decoration so far. Hopefully this weekend I'll get it all done although I am aiming for more "simple" this year.ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea! I can't use those wreath angers or my door won't close! I jut may have to do this. By the way, your front door is lovely.ReplyDelete
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a great way to hang your wreath -- I would have never thought to do it this way! We have our tree up at this point and I am just enjoying being crafty during the days and making things to add to our decor collection! :-)ReplyDelete
Rene I first need to make a pinecone wreath! Love the ribbon/ or fabric hanging! I do have other wreaths though I am in a DIY mood!ReplyDelete
2012 Artists Series & Giveaway
So 007 like on the wreath hanging! Thanks for sharing. Love the wide ribbon too.ReplyDelete
I use the same little trick! I LOVE your pinecone wreath. I'm like you, still waiting for the mood to strike. Not one single decoration out yet!ReplyDelete
I used to think I didn't like bows because I was terrible at making them, but actually I just like the look of less is more...big wide ribbon and a gorgeous wreath...who needs a bow? Your front door always looks beautiful...and your window boxes too!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tutorial! I have been meaning to put up our holiday wreath, but every wreath hanger I've tried so far this season doesn't fit over our door! (The door won't close with the wreath hanger on it.) Your fabric wreath hanger seems like a good solution!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 29, 2012 at 9:35 AM
I love the jute upholstery webbing ; how clever! I might give that a try.ReplyDelete
Love the wreath and thanks for the tip on how to hang it.ReplyDelete
Leeann x
And this is why I read blogs - bloggers have the most genius tricks up their sleeves!!!!ReplyDelete
I love how wide your ribbon on your wreath is. So simple and pretty!ReplyDelete
I use the thumbtack method for hanging ribbon on my interior doors and clipping Christmas cards to them. 3 ribbons with cards fit nicely on each door and the thumbtacks pop right out at the end of the holiday season.
Trop jolie! If I actually had a front door, I would do the same!ReplyDelete
I love the green door...and it looks great with the pine cones. I have done it like that also but I just stapled it in..!!ReplyDelete
Love the look of the wide simple sash. I too am going for simplicity this year--hoping I can stick with it! Your pine cone wreath is just beautiful!ReplyDelete
How should I hang the fabric on a metal screen door? You used pins on the top of your wood door but I don't have that option. Any ideas?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 27, 2013 at 9:19 AM
This is such a great idea! I used "invisible" fishing line as my wreath already has a certain look and I wanted to conserve it... I tied it to a single nail that I hammered to the inside, above the door frame. Also, I live on a busy block in the city where there are potential wreath robbers. This method provides a bit of wreath security too... Thanx!! LilaReplyDelete
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your questions will be answered here or you can email me at email@example.com

Me and my partner, the English Rock musician Kev Moore, went in Sommer 2008 for a 6 week trip through Portugal in our Boomobile (The Box), starting from Turre, Spain (Almeria). It has been a rich and wonderful experience, full of magic moments, for me as a human being and as an artist. I present here some of the sketches I have done on the road. Please contact me if you want to see the whole series (about 150 sketches) I hope you will enjoy and feel the same enchantment as we did for this wonderful country which is Portugal!
Miki, a long short story... Miki is a professional French artist, born in the Pyrenees, Her works have been sold and published worldwide.

- This event has passed.
INN Labs: Office Hours for Technology Assistance
December 7, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
An event every week that begins at 2:00pm on Friday, repeating indefinitely
We're a small team juggling a lot of projects. There's not always much time to answer questions (particularly those not directly related to the products we build and support) or to give thoughtful feedback on projects that people bring to us.
But we want to be accessible, approachable and create an opportunity for INN members (and members of the journalism and tech community at large) to ask us about any tech-related issues they may have or to get feedback on their projects.
We also frequently hear from designers and developers at member organizations that it's hard to get feedback on the work they do because they're often the only person at their organization who does the sort of work they do.
So we want to set aside some dedicated time every week to answer questions, talk through ideas and have an open design/code review.
We hold our open office hours every friday from 2-3 p.m. ET.
Anyone can sign up for a 20-minute block to meet with our entire team and get feedback on tech-related issues you might be facing (new project ideas, critique of works in progress, general tech/strategy/design questions, etc.). We know that sometimes 20 minutes will not be enough, so you can sign up for a longer block of time if you clear it with us in advance.
INN members will get priority but, if space is available, we'll open the signups to outside organizations/individuals. If we're already booked, you can put yourself on the waitlist and we'll let you know if a spot becomes available. If there are open slots in the schedule we'll plan to do a design or code review for one of our projects so you can see how we handle this sort of feedback and hopefully take some ideas back to your organization.
Since we're a remote team, these will be Zoom.us video calls. The persistent link for this call is right here. We used Google Hangouts until July 2016.
Video calls are sometimes a pain, particularly if you're on a slow internet connection. When you join the call, try to be on time for your scheduled slot and be on a fast enough connection so we don't have to spend too much time troubleshooting technical issues.
If you know you might have connectivity issues, it is also possible to join a video call by phone: call the number here, then enter the meeting ID.
The default for these video calls will be public because we think sharing ideas in the open helps everyone learn and improve but if you want to keep the conversation just between us, indicate that on the signup sheet and we'll boot people out and make the call invite-only when your time slot comes around.
The format for these is really determined by the type of questions or issues you have. To make the most of our time together you might want to prepare a list of questions or email us some background information, links to your website/project, git repos, etc. ahead of time so we can take a look and be better prepared to help you out.
If you have any questions or suggestions for us on how to make these office hours work best for you and your organization, email us anytime: firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is a particular honor to be nominated to serve as president of the Parapsychological Association, because it is so exciting right now to be a parapsychologist. While we have grown as a discipline we have been almost invisible to the mainstream largely because we have searched for order and meaning where most scientists would not assume it to exist. It is to our credit that we have found order, and are finding more all the time. But there have also grown up around us some subtle barriers that we might not know exist if we hadn't pressed against them. Now we are pressing against them more.
Lately we are carrying our findings more to the arena of mainstream science. The subtle boundaries of academic apartheid we find in the process arise tacitly for most scientists -- our findings seem surprising and dubious. But for a few, our expulsion from the workshop of science has a religious zeal. We are pushing against these barriers. Some physicists among us are raising basic theoretical issues about how physical nature is put together. Some psychologists are carrying better data into widely read venues, while others (I try to be one) are offering ways to understand how "paranormal" processes fit right in with "normal" ones. Some of our physicians are taking evidence about the physical power of intentionality into major medical centers, while biologists and neurobiologists are carrying parapsychological findings into their disciplines and showing that extrasomatic processes must be taken into account. This is also true of our philosophers and anthropologists and historians and psychotherapists who are carrying parapsychological findings and perspectives into their disciplines. And beyond science, but surely circling back to it, we are putting forth more evidence that our phenomena are not only real, they can be applied (a recent report shows that real remuneration can come from the use of psi effects applied to the stock market). We are a small group but we are getting more uppity, less intimidated, noisier. We need to join the larger workshop of science, and they need us and our phenomena as well, whether they know it or not, or like it or not. As we push these boundaries, we could all feel rather separate. We need the PA to remind us that we are together and share a common mission – to enrich mainstream science with our work. There will be dangers in getting more attention. With attention comes scrutiny, some of it unfair. We will have to work together to achieve the best responses we can. We must also responsibly inform the non-scientific public about our findings, and dispel misunderstanding about them. Another danger may arise from our practical success, if that continues. What kind of a world will it be if psi can be reliably applied? What ethical issues arise? We must begin to think about that, because for the time being few others are going to. I would be pleased to try to help lead these efforts for a time.
Register with the Parapsychological Association website to participate in the discussion, or sign in if you already have an account.
The Parapsychological Association is an international professional organization of scientists and scholars engaged in the study of psi (or 'psychic') experiences, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychic healing, and precognition. The primary objective of the PA is to achieve a scientific understanding of these experiences.
First established in 1957, the PA has been an affiliated organization of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1969. The PA is a non-profit, non-adjudicating organization that endorses no ideologies or beliefs other than the value of rigorous scientific and scholarly inquiry.

On Wednesday the family of Chris Benoit's wife Nancy brought down the civil litigation hammer, filing a wrongful-death lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Newnan, Georgia, over the June 2007 murders by Chris of Nancy and their son Daniel (which were followed by Chris's suicide).
But as was speculated in this space on Tuesday [Second anniversary of Benoit tragedy slams shut another door on reform], the target of the suit by Nancy's parents, Maureen and Paul Toffoloni, is not World Wrestling Entertainment. Rather, it is Dr. Phil Astin, Chris's personal physician, who already has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after the Drug Enforcement Administration busted him for wildly overprescribing drugs to his patients.
(Prosecutors told the sentencing judge that two Astin patients other than the Benoits had died as a result of the doctor's prescription abuses. One of these patients was Mike "Johnny Grunge" Dunham. The other was believed to be Sherry "Sensational Sherri" Russell.)
The Toffolonis' complaint introduces a new element to the Benoit mystery in its inclusion of three co-defendants, who are referred to as "Distributor X," "Distributor Y," and "Distributor Z." According to the complainants, the identities of these defendants are currently unknown to them, except to the extent that they are "for profit entities doing business in the State of Georgia" and are "manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and/or retail sellers of certain anabolic androgenic steroids, narcotic drugs, and/or controlled substances."
Dr. Astin himself is accused of being a proximate cause of the Benoits' deaths because of his negligent medical care and treatment of Chris, which began in June 2000. During that period, the complaint says, Astin's actions put Chris "under the influence of CNS [central nervous system] depressants, opioids and anabolic androgenic steroids," which impaired him mentally and triggered his homicidal-suicidal rampage across a weekend at the family's home outside Fayetteville.
Both individually and on behalf of Nancy and Daniel's estates, Maureen and Paul Toffoloni seek a jury trial and recovery of damages for "the full value of the lives of each decedent"; "final expenses, including funeral expenses"; and "compensatory damages for the fear, shock, mental and emotional trauma, and extreme pain and suffering endured by Nancy E. Benoit and Daniel Benoit prior to their deaths." The plaintiffs also ask for punitive damages flowing from the defendants' "willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression, [with an assumption of] conscious indifference to consequences."
At least three motivations could underly the decision by the family and their attorney, Richard P. Decker, to structure a three-fourths-unnamed defense group. One may be the struggle to locate a culpable party with deep pockets. The only hope of recovering monetary damages from the broken and imprisoned Astin himself would almost certainly be through his malpractice insurer. The Toffolonis may be betting on discovery and new evidence generated by a trial to identify the Atlanta area non-licensed pharmaceutical sources of what we already know, through the Fayette County sheriff's criminal investigation and through the DEA's case against Astin, was Chris Benoit's astounding personal inventory of drugs.
The second motivation may be the need, for civil wrongful-death purposes, to establish something that was missing from the Astin prosecution: counts involving steroids and human growth hormone (not just painkillers and antidepressants). The network for those substances reaches beyond the doctor himself to the netherworld of online and other black-market dealers, and might involve recreational drugs as well.
A third motivation may well be grounded in pure principle -- in a simple determination by the Toffolonis to use the civil legal system to expose as much as they possibly can about the circumstances that led to the horrific loss of their loved ones.
"We are not money-hungry people and that is not what this is about for us," Nancy's sister, Sandra Toffoloni, told me last year. "We have lost everything. Everything. I firmly believe there is responsibility to be taken, not just by Christopher."

text: Picturing Contemplation News Home 05.15.14 By: Mark Tarnacki The cover image on John Kenney's new book is a recently rediscovered 400-year-old painting by the Italian master Caravaggio that shows Saint Augustine studying what appears to be a Scriptural text, and then writing. For Kenney, a religious studies professor, former dean, eminent Augustine scholar and now the author of three books, the painting perfectly conveys "what Augustine is all about" as a Christian contemplative and mystic. "This is where you want to judge a book by its cover" says Kenney, who feels he scored something of a coup managing to be the first author to use the Caravaggio Augustine image for a book since the painting's re-emergence into public awareness a few years ago. He and his wife, Ann, went to view the painting personally at an exhibit in Ottawa in 2011, and Kenney decided it would make the ideal cover for Contemplation and Classical Christianity: A Study in Augustine, which was published by Oxford University Press and released in the U.S. in January 2014. He suggested it to his publisher and went about securing proper permissions. "Augustine understands contemplation to be rooted in Scriptural meditation, as shown in the painting. That's where it begins, and then it can advance from there and it returns there, so that it's always a dialogue with God through Scripture that may take the soul to a deeper relationship with the Divine, which is what contemplation is about," he says. But frequently, and he thinks very often misleadingly, modern readers of Augustine's mystical experiences in the famous Confessions will apply modern categories of interpretation of such experiences. These are categories which, in the context of an Augustine discussion, Kenney sees as thin and overly psychological or concerned unduly with paranormal or mystical ecstasies as a path to self-understanding. They thereby missing the Christian core of what Augustine truly experienced and wanted his readers to know about: that is, touching or glimpsing God's wisdom as an unmerited gift through the grace of Christ, in spite of the weight of our sins. "What I've been trying to do is put the Augustine back in Augustine," says Kenney, "to put the Christian content back into these remarkable moments that he's trying to describe, such as, for instance, in his famous Vision at Ostia with his mother, Saint Monica." Asserting and fleshing out such distinctions was an aim of Kenney's second book from 2004, The Mysticism of Saint Augustine: Rereading the Confessions. He says that title was even a bit ironic since "I'm actually trying to move away from that type of thinking," that is, of Augustine as a "mystic," at least as moderns might understand the term. He describes his latest book as "a prequel, as they say in Hollywood" to Book Two, covering material Augustine wrote before he wrote the Confessions, the main subject of Book Two. His recently published book examines closely what the "unguarded Augustine" was writing in the months between his initial conversion experience and his baptism, as he was coming to understand and define Christian contemplation. The new book tries to understand "this larger concept which the ancients called contemplation," going back to "the earliest stuff, the early letters, trying to understand as Augustine moves his thinking forward and see how this concept of contemplation changes from his first understanding of Christianity," he says. Kenney's first book, Mystical Monotheism: a Study in Ancient Platonic Theology, begun as his doctoral dissertation at Brown University and first published for a scholarly audience in the early 1990s, was reissued in 2010 by a more popular press that caters to a small but devoted following of readers whose interest is in more generally "spiritual" titles. Kenney's second and third books on Augustine relate directly to his early scholarly interest in Platonism as that school of philosophy, chiefly as expressed by the pagan thinker Plotinus, was a great influence on Augustine's views about mystical experience and contemplation. Plotinus, Kenney says, felt humans retained a sort of "umbilical cord to the divine," with at least some spark of that divine remaining in each person. But Augustine, knowing too well the depths of his own fallen state, as experienced in his pre-conversion life of libertine debauchery, was less optimistic about human prospects of accessing Divine Wisdom, no matter how deep or practiced one's inward-gazing contemplation might be, at least without the intervening aid of Grace through Christ. Kenney's books, he says, are "in part designed to push back against the modern, highly individual way of thinking of religion, which is not what's going on in Augustine." "What is important is recapturing the conceptual context of Augustine's thinking, and that requires a lot of work about Platonism," he says. For ancient pagans and Gnostics contemplation was about "recovering the divine without you – you are divine and your deepest self is connected to higher levels of reality." But Augustine's contemplation was something else: "One thing that comes through clearly in these early texts examined in my new book is that Augustine really understands contemplation to be rooted, in the end, in community; he understands it to be rooted in Scripture, in the communal and sacramental life of the Church, because that's what's going to allow the soul to overcome the weight of its sin that has prevented greater insights for him." Augustine, Kenney says, understands the whole project of contemplation as "rejoining the communion of saints who are engaged in an ongoing and eternal contemplation of God." It's Kenney's hope that all of his books might help a modern individual understand the Confessions better, which is important "because it's one of the ultimate classics of the Christian tradition." "My books are interlocking parts of a common project of trying to understand," he says. - Mark Tarnacki

Young, hip and... thoughtful? Meet evolve beauty eco smart skincare
There's been a shift in the beauty landscape in recent years with the widespread greening (and greenwashing) of the industry. Virtually all brands have jumped aboard the organic/natural beauty bandwagon, but how many have truly embraced the idea that it's good business to be a good business?
Innocent and Method both work to the hum of this mantra, but, by and large, there are a select few in beauty who do as well. And so many that do are niche players. Neal's Yard Remedies, nude, InLight or Saaf, among others, are all brilliant, holistic brands I readily use... but they're just left of center on price point and youth appeal for consumption by the beautiful-but-broke up-and-comers who simply can't pony up that sort of dosh but still want a quality product. Simply put, so much design-led, good organic beauty has been pricey to this point. There's been a gap where this accessible, cool, ethical beauty market should be, and it's swiftly starting to close with the help of brands like evolve beauty, the latest addition to the ethical skincare scene. The market needs an asos.com equivalent in the ethical beauty realm. We have the NET-A-PORTERS (and we quite like them) but there is room for more!
Recently, I spoke to evolve brand founder Laura Rudoe to figure out just what exactly is this eco smart beauty thing, and why the world needs yet another range of skincare and here's what I have to report back...
evolve, Rudoe's new eco smart organic beauty brand, began with her eternal search for the right beauty product. Growing up, Rudoe says she had quite acneic skin and it was only after years and years of homeopathy, good nutrition and significantly simplifying her skincare routine (using gentler brands like REN) that her skin started to look like it was on the mend, leaving the harsh products of yesteryear far behind. However, it wasn't until post-MBA that ex-consultant Rudoe truly honed her interest in ethical business and returned to the working world a changed woman as one of the original brains behind nude skincare.
With the help of fellow HBS alumnus Brian Meehan, she consulted for Whole Foods (owners of Fresh and Wild) by day while moonlighting with Meehan to create and launch nude. Rudoe recognised a gap in the skincare market for glamorous organic brands and speedily wrote the business plan. With financial backing and endless resources, Rudoe began her ethical business career in a fledgling entrepreneur's dream role as Director of Operations and Product Development at nude, learning first hand how to set up a company and becoming an expert on ethical beauty. By 2007 (and the launch of nude) she amicably parted ways with the brand, found herself working for an ethical venture capital firm and started the business plan for evolve (while concurrently brainstorming an idea to write a book on ethical businesses, which eventually became Good Ventures, the ethical product development company behind evolve... does this woman sleep!?).
What is evolve beauty eco smart skincare?
It's a range of twelve skin, hair and body products with squeaky clean wrap sheets. No nasties here. From formulation to the factory floor and in your door. Packaged in cool, pastel 100 per cent recycled milk bottles, these certified organic products are priced for the masses with an attention to detail that's usually reserved for high-end department store products. The ingredients are certified organic and food-based and the bottles are beautiful enough to display on your bathroom shelf with pride (very Scandinavian-minimalist looking, I must say), the ingredients are good for you (and the bunnies they don't test on) and the brand is doing its best to make both the beauty-scape and environment better.
Rudoe says she wants the brand to help everyone live a little better with high-quality yet accessible organic beauty products that can help us all make little changes. After all, those efforts add up to a sea change in collective behaviour if enough people do it. Welcome to the the world of ethical beauty, where brands practice what they preach... really.
I personally have yet to trial the products but I am in awe of all good female entrepreneurs (and she is one of them) and am also truly intrigued by beauty brands that are evolving (no pun intended) in this direction. Follow this space for full product reviews in the coming weeks.
What is eco smart skincare?
Good question. Since it's a phrase unfamiliar to me until now, I did a bit of research and the loose definition I can cobble together is that eco smart skincare is a phrase that can be applied to products that are healthier and possibly greener with less environmental impact that help you live a bit better while also not compromising on quality simply to make bigger profit margins.
In a sentence, eco smart skincare is skincare that's environmentally friendly and human-friendly, generally speaking.
Personally, I believe the most environmentally thing one can do is simply use less of everything, but within the realm of reality, where we do have to use products everyday, evolve beauty is attempting to give you a smarter choice in what you buy and use to make your beauty consumption just that much better. And they're not sacrificing your product ingredients, brand integrity or the environment to increase margins. It's about making a good product and understanding there's a balance between making money and creating a valuable brand.
Peek inside the evolve beauty founder's bathroom cabinet:
She uses as little on her complexion as possible. Keep it simple, especially if you have sensitive skin. Laura swears by her Clarisonic, with or without evolve's daily detox cleanser ('it works well with water too.'). Her simplified skincare routine includes cleansing after wearing makeup only, now with evolve's gentle cleansing melt. She uses a hand-blended facial oil now and again (she used a mix of wheatgerm and rosa mosqueta on her face and stretchmarks during pregnancy), and confesses to moisturising less-than regularly.
Hot products from the range
Gentle Cleansing Melt (£ 9.99 for 100ml)
Soap-free, fragrance-free and moisturising, this product is 100 per cent natural and contains only five ingredients. With warm water, it emulsifies and rinses clean away without the need for a muslin cloth. It was created because while Rudoe loved cleansing balms she loathed muslin cloths.
Mega Omega Moisture Cream (£ 10.99 for 200ml)
This body lotion uses organic Peruvian sacha Inchi Oil, the richest known source of Omega 3, 6, and 9, with Almond Peptides and Shea Butter to moisturise and soften.
evolve is available at evolvebeauty.co.uk, Content Beauty/Wellbeing, Lovelula.com and in stores at John Lewis and Planet Organic this month.

Rich, I have been trying to discover why a router GbE interface costs more than an L2/L3 data switch GbE interface does. The answer I got was the router does a lot of route processing on the card in order to do the line speed routing of each packet. I was told that a router requires much more processing per packet than an L2/L3 switch does. Is this true? If it is, then the current high costs of OC rate router cards for routers would not apply if an OC rate was applied to 10GbE. By the way rich, who is going to pay for the non-telephony standard support systems, applifiers, regenerators, etc. that would have to be developed for a non-OC rate long distance version of 10GbE. Better yet, how many people would it take to support a single optical path that spaned the globe that could not be managed globally?

IOWA CITY — The fans came. They saw. They kicked butt.
But Michigan State came, too. They saw the fans. And they kicked butt.
Unfortunately for the Iowa Hawkeyes, only one of those entities played on the court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena last night. And as loud and spirited as the fans were, they didn't make a single shot. Michigan State, however, did.
The No. 9 Spartans brutalized Iowa with a lightning-quick offensive array and strangled the Hawkeyes into one shot per possession for most of the first half. The second half wasn't much better for Iowa — despite a season-high 13,640 fans — in a 71-56 Michigan State victory.
"For me, I don't know where you all were sitting, but there was just like a green blur going past me at a very high rate of speed," Iowa Coach Todd Lickliter said. "We told our guys and you can show them on tape but I don't think that you can really understand the speed that they play at in the full court, and then by time we realized it, we were in trouble."
Iowa (12-9 overall, 2-6 Big Ten) struggled to compete with Michigan State's speed and size advantage at both ends of the court. Iowa conceded its offense to one shot to ensure its defense could get back and defend in transition. In reality, it didn't work.
Iowa didn't secure its second offensive rebound until only 4 minutes, 40 seconds remained in the first half. Overall Iowa was outrebounded 23-9 in the first half and hit just 40 percent of its shots from the field. Michigan State, meanwhile, sank 50 percent.
"You just had to take the best shot you could," Lickliter said. "You have to have good enough judgment as a player to know you're not going to get a rebound. It's futile to try to take the ball away from somebody — the court's too big to do that. Now you're behind the play and your teammates are in trouble and a couple of times we stayed back there like …
"Once you've made an effort, you need to turn and get back and get your defense set."
Iowa did a better job in the second half, but lost the rebound battle, 35-28. It was the first half, though, that established the game's tempo in Michigan State's favor.
"I think because we were so caught up in trying to get back and it's tough to go get the rebounds because once you miss it, you're behind and you put your whole team in a tough spot," Iowa guard Matt Gatens said. "You just have to pick and choose our spots."
Iowa struggled to keep up with Michigan State guard Kalin Lucas, who led all scorers with 24 points. Lucas was 9 of 13 from the field and had four assists.
"He can go get a good shot," Lickliter said. "There's guys who can get shots, but he can get a good shot about anytime he wants. It makes it tough."
Sophomore guard Jake Kelly drew the assignment of guarding Lucas. Kelly often guards the opponent's top ballhandler, but facing Lucas was more difficult that usual.
"He's a great player. One of the quickest guards I've ever played against," Kelly said. "I think his decision making has been a huge improvement this year. He picks his spots on when he wants to score and when he wants to push it."
"I think Jake Kelly is a terrific one-on-one defender," Lickliter said. "Terrific, and he had his hands full with Lucas. And anybody would, in my opinion."
Offensively, Iowa couldn't get into a groove early in either half. Iowa didn't notch its first point until it was down 8-0 with 15:53 left in the first half. Iowa was outscored 15-3 to start the second half and that essentially ended the game.
One bright spot for Iowa was the play of Jarryd Cole, who hit all five shots from the field for 10 points. He also pulled down eight rebounds in 26 minutes. Cole had two thunderous dunks that helped propel the crowd.
"I try to be in a spot where I could make myself a force. I just credit (my teammates) for finding me in open spots," Cole said.
Iowa dispersed more than 3,200 free tickets to students in a promotion. That led to a vibrant environment, just not the result Iowa had wanted.

Liberty News
Grads, families attend Baccalaureate Service
|The Rev. Jerry Thorpe, a member of Liberty's Board of Trustees, is Pastor Emeritus at Temple Baptist Church in Odessa, Texas.
Members of Liberty University's 2009 graduating class and their families filled the Thomas Road Baptist Church sanctuary on Friday night for the 36th Baccalaureate.
Dr. Harold Willmington, dean of Liberty's Willmington School of the Bible, opened the service with an invocation. After the prayer, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. welcomed those in attendance and explained the Baccalaureate's significance.
"The ultimate purpose of Liberty University is for its graduates to know Christ and make Him known," he said. "That is why this is the most important of all the commencement ceremonies here at Liberty."
During the service, Provost Boyd Rist, along with Falwell and Vice Chancellor Ronald Godwin, presented an honorary doctorate of humanities to the service's speaker, the Rev. Jerry Thorpe. Duke Westover, a lifetime supporter of Jerry Falwell Ministries, also received an honorary doctorate for his years of service in ministry.
Moments later, Thorpe took the podium, delivering a message of encouragement to the 2009 graduates. Thorpe, Pastor Emeritus of Temple Baptist Church in Odessa, Texas and Liberty Board of Trustees member, addressed the importance of overcoming life's challenges. Using the biblical accounts of Gideon, Moses and the Apostle Paul, the speaker noted the three men conquered overwhelming odds through their abundant faith in God.
"I'm not challenging you tonight to go forth tomorrow and make Liberty University proud," he said. "But I am challenging you to go from this great school and make Jesus Christ proud."
The service closed with music from the Sounds of Liberty, the singing of the Alma Mater and a prayer of benediction by Dr. Ergun Caner, Dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.

Larry Duncan, 56, and Randy Shepherd, 48, of North Bend, Washington were just one couple out of hundreds applying for marriage licenses in King County, Washington this week, after voters approved gay marriage in November's election. But one particular photo of Duncan and Shepherd, captured by photographer Meryl Schenker, tugged at the hearts of social media users and gay rights supporters.
Sporting thick beards and flannel shirts, Duncan and Shepherd presented an unlikely portrait of gay marriage equality in the United States. They were the kind of stereotype-challenging couple Schenker was looking for.
Schenker's caption read:
One month after Washington State voters approved the state's marriage equality law in Ref. 74, same-sex couples get marriage licenses for the first time on December 6th, 2012. At around 1:30am, Larry Duncan, 56, left, and Randy Shepherd, 48, from North Bend, Wash. got their marriage license. The two plan to wed on December 9th, the first day it is possible for them to wed in Washington State. They have been together for 11 years.
Duncan and Shepherd's photo has received nearly 15,000 shares on Facebook.
"I've been at this for 22 years and have never had a photo go viral," Schenker told the Washington Post.

E-Mag Electronic Ignition of Azle, Texas, had plenty of new goodies at their Sun 'n Fun booth this year. The prototype of the new six-cylinder electronic magneto was on display, along with software that allows the pilot to precisely set the E-Mag ignition timing parameters while in flight. "It's a highly evolved platform at this point" says E-Mag's Brad Dement. "And we're making this software available to the manufacturers of other engine monitors to use in their systems."
Indeed, with more E-Mag models coming on-line, and with the addition of magneto control software, the engine efficiency bar has been raised once again. "In addition to all of the normal benefits you get from electronic ignition," says Dement, "you can precisely adjust the ignition timing in flight to find that 'sweet spot' for your particular engine. With the price of gas what it is, the E-mag is a great tool to keep costs down."
Many pilots have shied away from electronic ignition systems in the past because of an understandable concern about these systems' dependency on aircraft power. E-Mag has a solution. "The P-Mag has a built-in alternator whose sole job is to power the mag in the event of aircraft electrical failure. With two P-Mags, the pilot has triple redundancy where electronic ignition power is concerned," Dement says.
With the one moving part of the E-Mag line being the center shaft, the system is much simpler and less prone to mechanical issues than the traditional mechanical mags of the past. And, unlike its predecessors, these mags require no periodic maintenance. "And we're anticipating starting the certification process once the six-cylinder unit is in production" Dement says.
Experimental types can enjoy the benefits of E-Mag right now. The E-Mag lists for $895, and the P-Mag is $1395. Further information is available at E-Mag.

Woodson tosses 5 TDs, loses interception-free streak as UK cruises
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- After throwing 325 consecutive passes without an interception, Andre Woodson was due to have one end up in the wrong hands.
The Kentucky quarterback's record-setting streak ended Saturday against Florida Atlantic, though little else went wrong for Woodson and the 14th-ranked Wildcats in a 45-17 victory.
He threw a career-high five TDs and would have had a sixth TD, but his toss to fullback John Conner was picked off by Tavious Polo as the two players battled for the ball near the goal line. It was the seventh interception of the year for the freshman cornerback, who came into the game as the national leader.
"It was a foolish throw," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said. "He threw off his back foot. We won't have to have everybody talking about (the streak) anymore. He can start another one."
Woodson, who set the NCAA mark last week against Arkansas by surpassing Trent Dilfer's major college record of 271 straight passes without an interception, said he was honored to be part of history but never was much interested in the record.
"It hasn't fazed me one bit," Woodson said.
It didn't look like it Saturday either, as he connected on 26 of 33 passes for a season-high 301 yards in just over three quarters.
The emerging Heisman Trophy contender pushed the streak past 300 in the Wildcats' opening drive, which ended with a 14-yard strike that Dicky Lyons Jr. cradled from his knees in the back of the end zone. Lyons later scored from 22 yards out.
"He's proven to everyone in the nation that he is what he's expected to be, and I think he's only going to keep improving," Lyons said.
After the Owls answered with a field goal, Woodson struck again. This time he connected with Steve Johnson for a 27-yard TD.
By the time the first half was finished, Kentucky (5-0) was up 28-10, all from Woodson's TD passes. The final one of the half was a perfectly placed 34-yarder between two defenders to Keenan Burton, who dived into the end zone, his arm outstretched with the ball.
With the catch, Burton became the third Kentucky player in history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards. Afterward, all of Burton's attention was focused on his lobbying campaign to get his quarterback voted as the nation's top player.
"I'm going to put so much pressure on him that he has to win the Heisman," Burton said. "Andre just continues to amaze me and amaze everybody."
Florida Atlantic (3-2) came into the game ranked second nationally in turnover margin, with nine more gains than losses. Although Polo was the team's turnover star, Woodson didn't shy away from him, throwing his way numerous time, starting with the first pass.
Kentucky chipped away at the Owls' turnover margin, recovering a fumble and grabbing interceptions by Braxton Kelley and Micah Johnson, the latter returned 16 yards for the Wildcats' final score.
"They definitely look like an SEC defense," Florida Atlantic quarterback Rusty Smith said. "They were big and they were strong and they were fast."
Florida Atlantic is coached by Kentucky alumnus Howard Schnellenberger, who is credited with resurrecting programs at Miami and Louisville. Schnellenberger tried some trickery, including reverses and a hook and lateral play that resulted in 17 yards.
Schnellenberger also heaped praised on Woodson.
"He is the most careful quarterback that I have been around," he said. "He has worked an awfully long time with those receivers to know where they are going to be when they do certain things."
The Owls did reach the end zone twice, in the second quarter on a 20-yard pass from Smith to Cortez Gent, and in the fourth on a 1-yard plunge from Charles Pierre set up by a long kickoff return.
In the end, however, Florida Atlantic couldn't keep up with the Wildcats' speed. Kentucky running back Rafael Little had 20 carries for 112 yards, and Burton led all receivers with 100 yards.
Kentucky faces a short week of practices before heading to South Carolina Thursday to face Steve Spurrier, who the Wildcats have never beaten. Other SEC titans follow, LSU and defending national champion Florida.
"We've positioned ourselves to have an opportunity to do some pretty exciting things," Brooks said.

Rodney Butler wins another term as Mashantucket Pequot tribal chairman
Mashantucket — Rodney Butler, widely acknowledged as the face of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, won a fourth consecutive three-year term on the tribal council Sunday as well as a second straight term as council chairman.
Butler and two other incumbents up for re-election to the council — Steven Thomas, the treasurer, and Crystal Whipple — were returned to office in voting among tribal members at an annual meeting on the tribe's reservation. Butler was then re-elected chairman in a separate vote of tribal members.
The seven-member council governs the tribe, whose fortunes are directly tied to those of its Foxwoods Resort Casino, including MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Butler, Thomas and Whipple were first elected together in 2009 in the wake of news that the tribe was about to default on more than $2 billion of debt incurred in growing Foxwoods.
"It has been a challenging three years for everyone in the region and beyond, and we are no different here at Mashantucket," Butler said in a statement the tribe issued following Sunday's meeting. "Councilor Whipple, Treasurer Thomas and I took office during a time of great political and financial unrest for our tribe. Over the course of that time, we have focused on rebuilding trust and unity within our community, and subsequently with our employees and surrounding community.
"Today's overwhelming show of support for the three of us speaks volumes to what we have been able to accomplish as a tribe …"
In addition to the incumbents, tribal members Scott Barton, John A. Colebut and Cynthia Sebastian-Welch sought election. The tribe provided no details of the voting, including vote totals or the number of tribal members who participated.
Roughly half the tribe's more than 900 members are adults and therefore eligible to vote.
Fatima Dames, the tribal council's vice chairwoman, challenged Butler in the voting for chairman, according to tribal members.
Butler, in the statement, said "it has been a tremendous privilege for me to be the chairman during such a crucial time."
Thomas, his brother Michael Thomas, a former council chairman; and a third tribal member were identified by sources earlier this year as targets of an FBI investigation of tribal finances. Steven Thomas is no longer a target of the investigation, sources said last month.
"To get elected the first time was great, but to get re-elected is wonderful," Steven Thomas said in the tribe's statement. "It speaks to the job you've done."
Said Whipple: "I'd like to thank the tribal community for their continued support, and I look forward to serving this community in the years to come."
The councilors' new terms will begin in January.

After riding a delta wing (Carafino) for 7 years I upgraded last year to a high aspect wing shaped foil http://jc-kiteboards.fr/news/category/matos/kite-foil and had to practically re-learn the sport. This new SPOTZ foil needs to be ridden a little faster to get going and is much less stable especially when doing turns. I can't imagine anyone having fun learining with this wing shape.
The main advantages are higher pointing (which was pretty good on the Carafino), superior glide, and huge top end speed. The Carafino could never exceed 15 knots on GPS whereas the SPOTZ can exceed 25 knots and top speed really depends on how brave you are.
I am not into racing so I am now selling this foil (anyone interested?) and will eventually purchase something more user friendly I can use in waves.
