Hey all,
It's been decades since I've played, but I recently fired up my old Mac to show my son one of Daddy's favorite childhood games. One of the things I used to do all the time was play the Infinity network maps, but solo. I can't for the life of me remember how I did that, though. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about?
When I do Gather Network Game, it seems to require at least one other person is present. Lacking other human opponents, though, there was some way to still explore the Network levels and fight aliens. It was a nice sandbox that didn't make you have to deal with the single-player campaign.

Motif analysis was done using all ubiquitin remnant peptides in a ubiquitin remnant motif antibody PTMScan® study. Cellular tryptic peptides from HCT116 cells. untreated or treated with MG132, were immunoprecipitated with ubiquitin remnant motif antibody K-ε-GG and analyzed by OrbiTrap MS. The study gave 599 non-redundant sites. The motif logo shows that the K-ε-GG antibody is a general motif antibody that recognizes the K-ε-GG motif and does not have other amino acid preferences.

Product Information
Cells are lysed in a urea-containing buffer, cellular proteins are digested by proteases, and the resulting peptides are purified by reversed-phase, solid-phase extraction. Peptides are then subjected to immunoaffinity purification using a PTMScan® Motif antibody conjugated to protein A agarose beads. Unbound peptides are removed through washing, and the captured PTM-containing peptides are eluted with dilute acid. Reversed-phase purification is performed on microtips to desalt and separate peptides from antibody prior to concentrating the enriched peptides for LC-MS/MS analysis. CST recommends the use of PTMScan® IAP Buffer #9993 included in the kit. A detailed protocol and Limited Use License allowing the use of the patented PTMScan® method is included with the kit.
Antibody beads supplied in IAP buffer containing 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
PTMScan® Technology employs a proprietary methodology from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) for peptide enrichment by immunoprecipitation using a specific bead-conjugated antibody in conjunction with liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for quantitative profiling of post-translational modification (PTM) sites in cellular proteins. These include phosphorylation (PhosphoScan®), ubiquitination (UbiScan®), acetylation (AcetylScan®), and methylation (MethylScan®), among others. PTMScan® Technology enables researchers to isolate, identify, and quantitate large numbers of post-translationally modified cellular peptides with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, providing a global overview of PTMs in cell and tissue samples without preconceived biases about where these modified sites occur (1). For more information on PTMScan® Proteomics Services, please visit www.cellsignal.com/common/content/content.jsp?id=ptmscan-services.
Ubiquitin is a conserved polypeptide unit that plays an important role in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Ubiquitin can be covalently linked to many cellular proteins by the ubiquitination process, which targets proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Three components are involved in the target protein-ubiquitin conjugation process. Ubiquitin is first activated by forming a thiolester complex with the activation component E1; the activated ubiquitin is subsequently transferred to the ubiquitin-carrier protein E2, then from E2 to ubiquitin ligase E3 for final delivery to the epsilon-NH2 of the target protein lysine residue (2-4). The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been implicated in a wide range of normal biological processes and in disease-related abnormalities. Several proteins such as IκB, p53, cdc25a and bcl-2 have been shown to be targets for the ubiquitin-proteasome process as part of regulation of cell cycle progression, differentiation, cell stress response, and apoptosis (5-8).
In this assay, the PTMScan® Ubiquitin Remnant Motif (K-ε-GG) Antibody Bead Conjugate, a proprietary ubiquitin branch ("K-ε-GG") antibody with specificity for a di-glycine tag that is the remnant of ubiqui- tin left on protein substrates after trypsin digestion, is used to enrich ubiquitinated peptides from trypsin digested cell samples. This enrichment is followed by LC-MS/MS analy- sis for quantitative profiles of hundreds to over a thousand non-redundant ubiquitinated sequences.

Nashville Season 1 Episode 2 recap
Guys, don't freak out.
It's FINE. It's the second episode, and that's the episode that gets made with an actual deadline and a production schedule and episode 3 breathing down its heels. Plus, episode 2 is all about laying enough pipe that we'll continue on the journey of these people. So okay, it wasn't spellbinding, and people say Exactly What They Mean. It can still improve, because the show has enough sense to do scenes of Tami – that is, Rayna - talking about important things in a marriage while getting ready for bed in a T-shirt.
But the title of this article is a line from one of Juliette's surprisingly resonant songs, and it's true. This show doesn't shine just yet, but there are moments where you know it could, right?
Let's start with what's most bothersome first. Little Miss Oh-I-don't-write, Miss My-Boyfriend's-the-genius…I just can't, here. Am I supposed to feel connected to her and her shyness? I don't, I can't. One thing the show has done really well, really fast, is to show us how important Watty White is, and the idea that she had the nerve to not take his offer to record their demo seriously really bugs me, by proxy. Someone who doesn't want it doesn't deserve it. Isn't that true? If it isn't, shouldn't it be?
I also think it's worth mentioning that Scarlett and her someday-love (because the show is laying it on a little thick, with the Rayna & Deacon = Scarlett & Gunnar) seem really, really naïve for what this town is supposed to be. In addition to the "everyone thinks they're together but they aren't" throughline, plus the "her boyfriend is an assh*le" element, I'm finding it's hard to like this girl. Am I wrong? If there's an opportunity, you take it before it goes away. If you're not the kind of person who wants to do that, get out of the way! Am I being too simplistic?
But a few of the characters on this show seem more naïve than I would have given them credit for. Deacon tops the list, of course, because he seems genuinely surprised that that pesky, chirpy Juliet won't stop chasing him, that she really does want to write songs, that she's better at it than he expected. I really want to like Deacon, because he loves our girl
Tami Rayna, and obviously she sees something in him, but he's coming off like a dolt, from the way he climbs into Juliette's little dinky car (I researched, and it's a vintage Chevy pickup, but it looked like it was made of Playmobil) without thinking of how that would look to everyone else – follow her in your own car, man! - to his temper tantrums at Rayna that not-secretly scream "I want youuuuu". Also, he screamed at her "If I want to fight like this, I have a damn girlfriend!" Um. You do? Who is she? Does she know about the other two women occupying your heart and mind right out in the open?
Maybe this is the way of things in Nashville, because Juliette is not being subtle, either. I don't totally buy yet that she is secretly a woman of substance but that's okay. I do buy that she's sick of her own Taylor Swift-ian image and wants more than what the 12-year-old-girl fanbase can provide for her. This is who I expect to see around Nashville, and the fact that yeah, she likes guys and sex but she's really focused on her career, on maturing musically, and maybe on the lack of real love in her life? Sure. I'll bite. The overwhelming sentiment coming off last week was "Hey, Hayden's not bad" and I think there's merit in that. Whether because it's not far off from who she is herself is a different story, but I understand Juliette. I don't understand why Deacon would accept the $50,000 guitar (what did he tell his "girlfriend"?) but I understand her.
Which leaves us with Rayna. Do I understand Rayna? Let's say "sometimes". I think she's a lot more full of sh*t than she lets on, and I think that's a good thing for an interesting show, but despite my jokes earlier in the recap, Tami Taylor she is not.
For example, people who hate their daddies don't keep on showing up at things. I know, her husband's running for mayor, but she could have cut bigger ties longer ago. I'm just saying. And then…if you were worried about protecting your marriage, well, would you go on tour with the man who was the love of your life? The one you were still "entangled" with when you met your husband?
Does Rayna love Teddy?
She kisses him and shows up to things and I get how you can love one person but hold a candle for another but I don't know, something between them feels awfully antiseptic, even before she runs out the door to sing a haunting song of love with Deacon. She seems…a little too willing to jeopardize her marriage. The scenes of exposition near the end of the episode give us backstory on why she and Deacon broke up in the first place, but still. She and Teddy are clinical, right? We also learn in the end that Teddy, too, has something to hide, and yeah, bring on the soap aspect, but...
I don't really want to save Rayna's marriage. I don't really want her with Deacon though, either. This might be a problem. I want them to sing haunting, gut-punch songs at each other and then regret it in silence, but that's not the same as wanting them together.

Due to his mysterious connection to the Three-Tails, Yūkimaru is able to at least partially control the Three-Tails. At first, Yūkimaru can only make an apparition of the beast appear, after taking some of Kabuto's pills. Later, after taking a larger dosage of the pills (combined with Guren's Crystal Release technique) he is able to make the beast fully appear, but couldn't control it. Later, when Guren is in danger of being harmed by the Three-Tailed Beast, he is able to halt it completely without Kabuto's pills. When Guren seemingly sacrificed her life to save him, Yūkimaru lost control of himself and used his powers to the fullest which enhanced the Three-Tails strength and rampage enabling it to break through the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier. This could mean that, like Naruto's jinchūriki forms, this ability is tied to his emotions.
Shizune concluded that due to the extensive toll this ability took on Yūkimaru's body, his lifespan was shortened, and he lost the ability altogether.
- Yamato referred to this skill as "the ability to synchronise with a tailed beast".

She was normal, happy, smart, beautiful and full of life until the day in February 2006 when she complained that her back hurt.
For two weeks, I thought it was normal adolescent complaining. After all, she had been lugging her middle-school backpack for almost five months. When I finally took her to her pediatrician, the doctor took back X-rays to make sure, then suggested I get her a new backpack.
About two weeks later, we were back again. This time, the doctor decided to run blood tests. The blood work came back normal except in one area, but the doctor was not too concerned and suggested we come back in a few weeks.
From February to April, I watched my sweet daughter deteriorate. She cried each morning before school. She cried when I took her shopping. She began to walk haltingly; she could not climb the stairs to our house.
Eventually, she could barely walk. It was spring break week and all she could do was lie on the couch. She could no longer dress herself, get out of bed by herself, lift her arms, use the bathroom by herself or do anything any normal 12-year-old could.
Finally, two months after her first back pains, she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called dermatomytosis. Her body had fought off a virus and then attacked its own muscles. It is so rare that most pediatricians will never see it in their practices. Yes, we were relieved it was not lupus, cancer or anything life-threatening. But tell this to a 12-year-old.
She had been through a painful trauma that was only just the beginning. The next trauma would teach her and me about life. It began in the form of a little white pill that would save her but change her. It was prednisone, a steroid. She was put on it the day she was diagnosed, and within a week she was walking better.
At the same time, she began to suffer the horrible side effects that no child should have to experience. My happy daughter became depressed, suffered from dark mood swings, grew dark hair, had sweaty palms and gained 20 pounds in a month.
Through it all, she barely missed a day in her gifted magnet middle school. Some of the students were very mean, asking her if she "ate balloons for lunch." Each day, she faced middle school with a courage I could not have mustered.
I would pick her up from school and watched her hobble to my car. I would sit and look at the other young girls, who looked normal and trim, angry at God for doing this to my sweet, beautiful daughter. I missed her laughter, her smile, her company at the mall.
Despite all this pain, she managed to get straight A's because she said it was the only thing she could do.
Slowly, my daughter began to get better. The steroids were reduced, the pain disappeared, her muscles began to function. She no longer needed help to get out of bed. I no longer had to put on her socks, shoes and clothes for her.
She learned how to cope with the insensitivity of other adolescents and became a more compassionate and stronger person. She intends to become a physician so that she can help others.
At 12 years old, she faced pain, trauma, depression, a major change in appearance and the meanness of others. What she got in return was compassion, beauty, intelligence, strength and a lesson about life.

Enjoy Chocolate Guilt Free this Fourth
June 29th, 2012
Nestlé advances child labor battle plan
An independent investigation into Nestlé's cocoa supply chain has found numerous child labor violations and kickstarted an ambitious plan to eventually eradicate forced labor and child labor in its production cycle.
The study was carried out by the Fair Labor Association with Nestlé's support.
"Our investigation of Nestlé's cocoa supply chain represents the first time a multinational chocolate producer has allowed its procurement system to be completely traced and assessed. For too long child labor in cocoa production has been everybody's problem and therefore nobody's responsibility," said FLA President Auret van Heerden.
It means Nestlé is the first chocolate-maker to comprehensively map its cocoa supply chain – and can work on identifying problems areas, training and educating workers and taking action against child labor violations.
The FLA investigation found violations of Nestlé's own supplier code, including excessive hours and unpaid workers. It also found 72 percent of injuries were from workers using machetes.
Read the FLA-Nestle report
But child labor remained the primary concern for the FLA which said there were systemic and cultural challenges to overcome in Ivory Coast.
Jose Lopez, Nestlé vice president of operations, told CNN: "There is no way, that long term, a company like ours can accept a situation like this. So it's a matter of how fast, how well, and how many people have to participate in getting these sorts of problems behind us.
"We are determined to make real impact and hopefully also to be used as a lighthouse to show others that it's just a matter of getting started."
He added: "My sense is that what we want to do here is to prove that it can happen. We will work with the World Cocoa Foundation and be in schools, we will work with International Cocoa Initiative and gather the cooperatives and put people there ... to give training on the farmers. We will work with the government on the action plan, we will work with the certifiers.
"It is true that what is new is purely an expression of the will to assemble everybody, to break down these silos and to get the action moving, instead of each one of us trying to give his own interpretation and his own answer."
The FLA recommended Nestlé tell every person in its supply chain about the company's code of practice which bans child labor, and make sure people are trained and expected to uphold the code.
The FLA also said Nestlé has developed a strategy to improve practices by its Ivorian workers, including producing an illustrated guide to the supplier code by October and, in the longer term, train key suppliers to try to create a workforce dedicated to protecting children.
Van Heerden said: "By inviting FLA to completely map and document its cocoa supply chain, consumers will have the complete picture they need to hold Nestlé, the largest food company in the world, accountable for where its cocoa comes from ...
"Now that its supply chain has been mapped, Nestlé will be held accountable for the kind of sustainable and comprehensive changes that ensure a future of responsibly-sourced, code-compliant cocoa."

Katy Perry has gone through many looks over the years, but there's nothing more popular than her costumes displayed within her "California Gurls" music video. There are many options from the video shoot to choose from, but who could go wrong with a cupcake bra? Here's all the necessities to recreate her infamous Candy Land inspired video.
Hair: You'll need a trip to the store for this outfit. You can't go wrong with this Electric Blue Wig.
Make-Up: To perfect Katy's look, the more glitter the better. After your basic foundation and blush it's all about the eyes. Try Maybelline Dream Mousse Eye Shadow in turquoise since it has a shimmer. If there isn't enough sparkle there for you pick up this metallic silver glitter from Sephora. The lightweight glitter is perfect for the face or body. Sephora recommends to "pat on the skin with a wet brush for a long-lasting effect." It's also perfect to add on top of lip gloss. You'll want a bright pink gloss to mirror Katy's in "California Gurls" so try Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss in pink pop to complete the look!
Clothes: The focal point of this costume is Katy's infamous cupcake bra. Lucky for you Etsy has the cupcakes already made for purchase. Just attach them to a tank like this from Forever 21 or this teal sports bra from Target and you're almost all set. Now you just need some glitter shorts to complete the look. Try these green glitter-weaved shorts from H&M and your favorite pair of sandals for the California girl final touch.

What is Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction) is a surgical procedure that replaces the central ligament of the knee with a new ligament graft.
The ligament graft can be an autograft in which a part of the patient's body such as a knee tendon or hamstring is used as the graft. Alternatively it could be an allograft in which the graft is from an external donor.
The patient is required to stick to a rehabilitation program of two to six months after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to successfully recover and resume full activities.

Building on the success of the path to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal, finding more effective strategies to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and including transgender individuals in ENDA and immigration reform were among the strategies discussed at the 2011 Netroots Nation Strategy Session.
The LGBT caucus and strategy session had over 80 attendees, says Mike Rogers, the director of the Netroots Nation LGBT Netroots Connect program. Rogers has brought more than 50 attendees to Netroots Nation 2011 as part of a LGBT pre-conference and scholarship program.
Dr. Jillian T. Weiss facilitated the 90-minute conference. Weiss is a professor of law at Ramapo College of New Jersey, and a management consultant on transgender diversity. Weiss is also well known across the LGBT movement and virtual community as a contributor at Bilerico.com and for her work pushing ENDA.
The goal of the strategy session was to "capitalize upon what worked and didn't work" in pushing for DADT and DOMA repeal, as well as "synthesizing momentum" around the introduction of ENDA and the United American Families Act, said Dr. Weiss.
The session was divided into two groups: Those who worked with policy and on the "inside" track and those who worked in media, blogging and the "outside" track. Chief among the frustrations: Finding an "optimum" narrative to win passage of ENDA.
"I can say what worked best on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'," said Freedom to Marry's New Media Director Michael Crawford, who co-facilitated one of the breakout sessions. "That was the personal narrative. I can say how we will win marriage, state by state, or a court strategy or even a DOMA repeal in Congress." But the movement "has yet to develop" a winning "narrative" on ENDA.
"And that's a shame because ENDA would effect 150 million people," added Weiss.
It's also important to keep ensure that our "media representatives are diverse" when buillding a narrative, added Pam's House Blend Editor Pam Spaulding.
Another chief concern: Transgender inclusion. "We obviously didn't have that in DADT because it was an 'LGB' issue but some of the organizations" were fearful around using trans case studies and spokespersons to push for ENDA, said Jos Truitt, the transgender activist and blogger at Feministing. Truitt and others said the need for trans inclusion was more imperative around ENDA, the United American Families Act and immigration reform.

Let's join Drowsy Monkey today for Mellow Yellow Monday.
These white daisies with the yellow centers were still blooming in the St. George's Episcopal/Anglican churchyard in Flushing Queens when I came upon them.
I caught that fly in the shot by pure chance.
*O.E.fleoge, from P.Gmc. *fleugjon (cf. O.S. fleiga, O.N. fluga, M.Du. vlieghe, Ger. Fliege "fly); lit. "the flying (insect)" (cf. O.E. fleogende "flying"), from same source as fly (v.1). Originally "any winged insect" (hence butterfly, etc.); long used by farmers and gardeners for any insect parasite. Slang adj. meaning "clever, alert, wide awake" first recorded 18c., perhaps from the notion of the insect being hard to catch (other theories, however, trace it to fledge or flash); 1990s use may be a revival or a reinvention. Fly on the wall "unseen observer" first recorded 1949. An O.E. word for "curtain" was fleonet "fly-net." Fly-swatter first attested 1917. Flypaper attested from 1851, though the item itself is said to have become commonly available in London in 1848. (*Online Etymology Dictionary)
Isn't it interesting what you can find out when you look up some ordinary thing, a fly in this case.

ESPN has made a significant move today by announcing that GolTV has sublicensed some of its U.S. TV rights of La Liga coverage to ESPN.
In March of this year, GolTV announced that it had renewed its rights to La Liga TV coverage in the United States for another three seasons. Now, GolTV has sub-licensed a portion of its La Liga TV coverage to ESPN in a move that compensates for ESPN losing its Champions League TV coverage for the next three years to Fox Soccer Channel.
What this means is that beginning next season, ESPN Deportes has the option to air up to 114 matches (although at this time is plans to show 95 regular-season games), while ESPN2 will present approximately 20 in windows that ESPN Deportes general manager Lino Garcia said "won't conflict with the network's schedule."
Further, ESPN Radio will air select games, while Deportes', mobile and online holdings will be able to air extensive footage.
GolTV and ESPN will alternate selections on week-to-week basis, choosing from six matches. "We will share the games with the top teams with our partner," said Garcia.
The deal raises ESPN Deportes game, as well as the profile and live lineup of broadband service, ESPN360.com, which will simulcast the matches that air linearly on its Spanish-language sister service and ESPN2.
The deal between GolTV and ESPN is a smart one for both parties. After recent cuts, GolTV will assuredly welcome ESPN's money to sublicense their U.S. TV rights to La Liga. Plus, GolTV may gain a lot more visibility in the marketplace by ESPN and GolTV working together in marketing campaigns. For ESPN, this helps fill a massive void left by the Champions League coverage it has lost. And it's at a better time than any now that Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo have moved to Real Madrid and the interest in La Liga this season will skyrocket.
The move is made even more interesting given that today is the deadline the Premier League has set in the United Kingdom for bids for Setanta's 46 2009-2010 games. It's quite possible ESPN may be making a move to try to acquire the packages that Setanta lost in the U.K. at the same time it has sewn up La Liga coverage in the United States.
The U.S. TV rights to the Premier League for 2010-2013 season, meanwhile, will be finalized this Fall. ESPN may be interested in trying to acquire those too to accentuate its coverage of soccer.

If, like me, your NFL team is out of the mix then forget about this weekend and Super Bowl Sunday. Instead, let's focus on a potential bright spot that could come our way Sunday -- especially for those of us who have been experiencing these insanely low temperatures and polar vortexes (whatever those are!) -- Groundhog Day!
Groundhog Day takes place every February 2 and legend has it that if it's cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it's sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and go back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. Clearly, that's not good for those of us eager to begin our respective golf seasons.
SPEAKING OF "GROUNDHOG DAY": See our gallery of Bill Murray playing golf
We're all pulling for a cloudy Sunday now, right?
Along with Groundhog Day itself, there's also a movie by the same name that came out in 1993, starring Bill Murray. In the movie, "Groundhog Day," each day is like a broken record -- the same thing happens day after day, again and again and again. It's a continuous loop.
That's loosely the basis for this week's, "A Quick Nine."
We asked our 216,000+ friends in PGA.com Facebook Nation (click here to join the masses) to tell us: If you had to play only one course, over and over, which would it be?
While reading, keep in mind that a few of the courses you see will certainly be recognizable because they're so famous, but there will also be several you may never have heard of before now. They couldn't be excluded because of the great answers.
You can see all the answers here. If you'd like to join the conversation, feel free to add your favorite course to the list.

The Secure Data Center (SDC) has been updated with the latest data submitted and is now open.
Note: The Value Added data has not been loaded into the SDC and is not reflected in building and district ratings.
In some cases, JVSDs are reporting OGT test results for students who are also attending a traditional district or community school. If the JVSD and the other LEA are both reporting the same results, the student is being double-counted for that particular subject. In some cases, this could result in an OGT passage rate that is higher (if the duplicate scores are passes), and in some cases in a passage rate that is lower. Less than 50 districts statewide are impacted to varying degrees. Districts can self-determine if they are impacted by using the reports for analysis in the SDC to drill down to the SSID level for the 10th and 11th grade measures of proficiency. Students being double-counted will have a count of "2" on this report.
A small number of students (less than 40 statewide) who were full-time open-enrolled into a JVSD sometime during their high school career may not be included correctly in the 5 year grad rate. These students are correct in the 4 year grad rate.
All other known issues are corrected. A list of the corrected issues will be provided in a future Newsflash. If you believe there is an issue that is not noted above, please work with your ITC to submit and EMIS HelpDesk ticket for research and response.
Please refer to the May 1st 2008 newsflash under EMIS Archives on the ODE website for more information on access to the SDC.
JVSDs and ESCs do not get Local Report Cards and do not have access to the SDC so they may ignore this e-mail.
It should be noted that individual cells in the Growth Measure Determinations section of the AYP Workbooks will automatically show Not Met for any subgroup meeting minimum group size criteria. This is simply the default case; it will continue until growth measure results are fully available and finalized after EMIS year-end processing is complete.

Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who — following 44 years of marriage — came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized and tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
Sample Discussion Guide Questions
The film addresses the personal relationship between Oliver and Hal, and references the larger historical and social context in which they grew up. In what ways does the larger context make the whole story more universal, in contrast to the intimate portrait of these two people?
After his mother died, Oliver faced an emotional situation. He had lost his mother, and had now lost his "old" father, as Hal began to live a new life. How did Oliver cope with the situation? How do you think you might cope with a similar situation?

Sandy Hook investigative report delayed
NEWTOWN -- The investigation report on the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre won't be available in June as expected, state officials confirmed Wednesday.
Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky said Wednesday the report may not be available until September or later, but declined to provide details on what elements still need to be completed.
"I can't be specific on that but the State Police are working hard on the case," he said. "It's more important for us to get it done right than fast."
Irving Pinsky, a lawyer who represents several families affected by the shootings, said he is concerned about the delay and about what information state officials may be trying to hold back from the public.
"It's as though they are feeding the conspiracy theorists more fodder," he said. "It's really sad that we can't get the information on this case that we have the right to."
He added that delays in releasing the report could complicate efforts of some families to file legal proceedings because of fast-approaching legal deadlines.
"It really depends on what information they are holding back," Pinsky said.
The report will concern the events of Dec. 14, when Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, in her bedroom before going to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 20 first-graders and six educators and then turned a gun on himself.
Sedensky rebuffed claims that the report is being delayed, noting that he told state legislators in January that "we are hoping for this summer, perhaps in June, but that's certainly subject to change."
A state police spokesman said the June deadline was "never etched in stone."
"There are many things that still have to come together," said Lt. J. Paul Vance. "We are leaving no stone unturned."
Vance added that the report will be ready, "when all the work is done, when we've covered every base and done everything we can."
He added that when the report is completed, police officials will sit down with the officials from the state's attorney's office and relatives of those slain to review the material before it is released to the public.
State police officials were criticized in March over reports that details of Adam Lanza's plans, including a large spreadsheet of mass shootings, were revealed in police-related seminars in New Orleans, Las Vegas and at Foxwoods in Connecticut.
Shortly after that, officials released the search warrant affidavits for the Lanza home in Sandy Hook, and two vehicles. It's the only investigative information that's been released to date in the Dec. 14 tragedy.

Centreville The Centreville High School PTSA is hosting the 2013 CVHS All-Night After-Graduation Party on June 18, 2013 at Dave & Busters. This is a drug- and alcohol-free party for the entire senior class of 555 students. The party has games, bowling, pool tables, food/drinks all evening, casino games, and lots of prizes. Money made this year also assists with planning for similar parties, which serve to keep kids safe on Graduation Night, for future graduating classes.
We have worked to raise money for this event since last September. We are having our biggest fundraiser this weekend: the annual Mulch Sale. We have sold more than 13,000 bags of mulch and we will deliver them to the community Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17. We now need the community to help deliver the mulch to our faithful customers.
Please go to cvhsptsa.org to sign up via sign-up genius, go to www.cvhsmulch.org, or go to the school website, http://www.fcps.edu/CentrevilleHS/.
The community has supported the purchasing of the mulch, but we are lacking volunteers to deliver the mulch. We have the same 20 or so adult volunteers all weekend. The more people that come out to help, the less each of us has to do. We need 20 more people on Friday night to start delivery using 9 trucks to haul mulch. We need at least 4-5 people per truck to unload. Helpers, 4-5 per car, follow the adults in the large delivery truck and unload the mulch to the customers' driveways. On Saturday afternoon we need 40 more helpers, and Sunday another 40. We are reaching out to local fraternity and sorority members, charitable groups, caring community members....anyone who enjoys helping others and eating delicious, free food for their efforts.
Students: Even if you are not a senior this year, this benefits your class. Money left over will go to the next class, so every student at CVHS will benefit from the hard work and dedication of the volunteers. If anyone knows of any corporate sponsors that may want to support this event, please contact us through our website above.
Thank you for your support,
2013 After Grad Committee Centreville High School PTSA

The Rabbit
The SAS, the Paras and the Police decide to go on a survival weekend together to see who comes out on top. After some basic exercises the trainer tells them that their next objective is to go down into the woods and catch a rabbit, returning with it ready to skin and cook.
Night falls.
First up - the SAS. They don infrared goggles, drop to the ground and crawl into the woods in formation. Absolute silence for 5
minutes,followed by the unmistakable muffled "phut-phut" of their
trademark silenced double-tap. They emerge with a large rabbit shot cleanly between the eyes.
"Excellent!" remarks the trainer.
Next up - the Para's. They finish their cans of lager, smear
themselves with camouflage cream, fix bayonets and charge down into the woods,screaming at the top of their lungs. For the next hour the woods ring with the sound of rifle and machine-gun fire, hand grenades, mortar bombs and blood curdling war cries. Eventually they emerge, carrying the charred remains of a rabbit.
"A bit messy, but you achieved the aim; well done", says the trainer.
Lastly, in go the coppers, walking slowly, hands behind backs
whistling Dixon of Dock Green. For the next few hours, the silence is
only broken by the occasional crackle of a walkie-talkie "Sierra Lima
Whisky Tango Fanta One, suspect headed straight for you..." etc. After what seems an eternity, they emerge escorting a squirrel in handcuffs.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" asks the incredulous
trainer.Take this squirrel back and get me a rabbit like I asked you
five hours ago! So back they go. Minutes pass. Minutes turn to hours, night drags on and night turns to day. The next morning, the trainer and the other teams are awakened by the police, still holding the handcuffed squirrel, now covered in bruises with one eye nearly shut.
"Are you taking the piss!!??" asks the now seriously irate trainer.
The police team leader nudges the squirrel, who squeaks:
"Alright, alright, I'm a fackin' rabbit!"
The louder we scream, the sweeter the sound.

EPPING — Next Level Church is announcing its fourth facility on Dec. 24 at the O'neil Cinemas in Epping.
Next Level Church is partnering with O'neil Cinemas to provide an environment for families to come and celebrate Christmas. The church is offering a 6 pm Christmas Eve experience that is sure to be fun for the whole family.
According to Lead Pastor Josh Gagnon, "We started Next Level Church with the belief that people didn't object to the message of Jesus, but rather to the way they had experienced church in the past as judgmental, boring, or hypocritical.
"We have found that we were right - when church is fun, casual, and shares Jesus in a way people can relate to, people love it!"
Next Level Church began four and a half years ago and now meets in four locations: Newington, NH; Portland, Maine; North Shore, Mass. and Epping, NH. At every location, there is a local pastor, live band, and kids environments, where people can experience the message of the Bible in a casual, inviting atmosphere no matter where they are in life.
In Epping and the surrounding communities, Next Level Church offers a relevant and engaging atmosphere where everyone is welcome and encouraged to "come as you are". The church believes that church should be fun, exciting, and most importantly, understandable, so that everyone can relate to it and have God make a difference in their life.
Pastor Gagnon says, "Next Level Church is church you will look forward to attending and will be proud to invite your friends to. Basically, it is the kind of church I wish I had been able to find, but never could, where we talk about things that really mattered in my life in plain, everyday language; and I felt comfortable being myself, both the good and the bad."
You can learn more about Next Level Church at www.nlc.tv.

I'm a bit late with this, but Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings issued this challenge:
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (and we need more of you to do this, otherwise it may end…), is to:
1) Read Brenda Joyce Jerome's post Who or What Do You Blame? on the Western Kentucky Genealogy blog. She asks these questions:
* Can you identify person or event that started you on this search for family information?
* Did you pick up researching where a relative had left off?
* Did your interest stem from your child's school project on genealogy?
* If you have been researching many years, it may be hard to pinpoint one reason for this journey.
2) Write your responses on your own blog, in a comment to this blog post, or in a note or comment on Facebook.
My youngest sister ("The Bairn") started me off on our Scottish family history trail – she had an interest in family history from her early teens, and she interviewed our parents and grandparents, made notes and drew out a chart on a huge piece of yellow card (I still have it with all its relevant pencil scribbles). Many years later when she was married with a small baby, I was working part-time and feeling pretty bored with life, so she handed me the files in an effort to give me something interesting to do. I had done similar research work in one of my first jobs, and was familiar with the way things worked, so thought I might be able to take the family history back a few generations, and after my first couple of days, I was totally hooked – although things had moved on a lot in the meantime. No longer did I have to wait with a pencil and pad for a man with white gloves to bring me the Original Document! Yes, I picked up on the research where she left off, and no, it wasn't to do with a child's school genealogy project, and although I have been researching for many, many years, I'll never NOT be able to pinpoint exactly how I started on this journey. Cheers, Bairn 🙂 I'm still having so much fun with Scottish genealogy, years later and it's thanks to you having the right idea for me at the right time! 🙂

MAKE Asks: is a weekly column where we ask you, our readers, for responses to maker-related questions. We hope the column sparks interesting conversation and is a way for us to get to know more about each other.
This week's question: Many of us are parts hoarders, and mostly with good reason: one never knows when something in the stash can come in handy. But what are parts or materials that you simply have an overabundance of? For other readers, what sort of projects would you use those parts for? Maybe in the comments thread we can get some match-making action going.
I have ten 4N32 Opto-Couplers that I don't see myself using anytime soon. I'd gladly trade or give them away if you can find a use for them. Hit me up in the comments if you're interested.
Post your responses in the comments section.
