Another Man Sought In WJU Beating Death
September 5, 2013
WHEELING — Police on Wednesday were still searching for at least one more person in connection with the Saturday fight that led to the death of 21-year-old Wheeling Jesuit student Kevin Figaniak,......
if what I heard is true today about the beating it is no doubt murder. came from a pretty good source.

I dont recall reading much police bashing posts in former articles on this subject but maybe I missed. I think the police have done well in this case. They are human-some good and some bad. The bad need weeded out, but dont see too many good people lining up for this low paying job. Maybe there are not 3rd or 4th person involved. Maybe the survivor was embarrassed that his friend took such a beating with 2 on 2. Dont meant that to be mean, Im just saying that he is likely suffering survivors guilt. If there are others involved, I hope they are caught soon. Why are we making this about police I am sure they are eager to make another arrest.

Police have to have the worse job in the world. They have to deal with the worse of humanity and in less than desirable conditions, extremely low pay and their every move in under scrutiny. They put their lives on the line (yes, even for the loud mouth haters on this site) and help us protect our children. They are humans who can only do so much to protect our communities. The citizens need to step up and support them so they will want to come back to work and protect us another day. United we stand, divided we fall.

Backtracking over your ridiculous accusations about police officers being responsible for this attack? I was working at a hospital when 9/11 happened, btw. But your accusations reek of conspiracy theorist musings.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hefner, when there is an assault and someone dies it is called MURDER. I have never heard of anyone being charged with " assault that went terribly wrong".
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What a d bag. After papering the site with some of the dumbest comments this side of the wraith, now you are seeking any negative story about police.
Jumpvans? The only people dumb enough to take you seriously, incidently, also claim that 9/11 was an inside job.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
not a big fan of wheeling pd. have a lot of power hungry kids who were picked on in high school now carrying a gun. I have been around the country and have never seen a city with so many cops. it's like a police state and think this is why people are getting tried of them.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
@triton: One other note. I think good policemen should be the highrest paid of civil servants, but emphasis the "good". Generally speaking the WPD is a good outfit, though terribly overstaffed and terribly managed.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
@triton: With all due respect you're a little over the top when it comes to praising the WPD or any other PD as a group. Like the military one should respect the uniform and the authority of a police officer, but there are a lot of scoundrels who wear that uniform. A murder case which really this isn't; rather a case of assault that went terribly wrong, is generally speaking, the easiest to solve because the investigator works from the inside out, and unless it's a professional hit, there is generally plenty of evidence. These two guys may have even turned themselves in. There is still so much that is unknown about this case that I reserve my prognosis.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
When this incident occurred this site was loaded up with cop haters, from here and from other areas, who ridiculed WPD and boasted that they would never solve this crime, blah blah blah. But they have done a top rate job on this and have people in custody and more coming. Its a tragedy when something so cold as this happens and it shocks us to know that people are here who can harm us. Its nearly as bad to see that there are people who bark like mongrel dogs at the people who are here to protect us and to solve crimes when they occur. The Wheeling police have done a good job here, and the Chief has kept us informed. The cop haters and the negative barking dogs add nothing to this community other than the foul odor of hate. Wheeling is enduring and recovering from a terrible incident and we can take some comfort and pride that those who work for us, to protect and serve are doing that.

Picture of the bike attached, I'm going to leave it as original as I can, with bullhorned downbars, probably no brake (leisure bike, I do ride with a brake otherwise). I did as anyone would and checked out Sheldon's page on the topic but still looking for any suggests on the actual frame as a fixie.

It is finally getting warm enough here in Minnesota that the thought of drinking something cold doesnˇŻt completely send shivers up and down our pale bodies. My vitamix has been primarily used for pureed soups and warm sauces for the past 6 months and you know what? I think itˇŻs about time that we test out its ability to handle frozen solids.
Time for smoothies!!! And this Dark Sweet Cherry + Banana Smoothie was JUST what I needed to get completely in the mood for summer.
I actually discovered the concept of frozen dark sweet cherries because I have fallen in love with the Woodstock line of foods and want to try every product that they carry. They package and sell everything from bulk goods, canned foods, condiments, sauces, dry mixes, nut butters, and yes… frozen fruits and vegetables.
I really like buying this brand because all of their products are mostly non-GMO certified and all natural or organic. The company also has a strategic partnership with the American Farmland Trust where they invest a ton of resources to help preserve precious land for sustainable farming. This is exactly the kind of company that I like to endorse on this website and support in my own consumption because they are purpose-driven, the products are high-quality and clearly very beautiful, too!
These are unlike any other cherry you are used to and buying them whole and frozen is advantageous for a number of reasons!
First of all, cherries are pretty seasonal fruits so there is a limited window of time during the year when you can buy these dark red candies fresh at the grocery store. Even then, you still have to deal with the pit and the stem, resulting in stained fingers and occasionally an uncomfortable bite.
They other way that cherries are commonly bought is in a can. Ummmm no thanks! The canned version usually contains all sorts of dyes, preservatives and syrups that are absolutely NOT necessary in order for these to taste amazing. Solution: just buy them frozen and avoid all that other fuss!
My first use of these frozen, tart balls of flavor was in a smoothie with almond milk, frozen bananas and chia seeds. The creaminess of the almond milk and frozen bananas blend perfectly with the tartness of the cherries, giving this smoothie a well-rounded, delicate flavor with a little bit of crunchiness on the top from the chia seeds! All in all, it was like a mini trip to heaven.
What will you need? (makes 2 smoothies)
1 cup frozen, dark sweet cherries
1.5 cups frozen bananas
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp white chia seeds
How do you make it?
Using a high-quality blender, combine the cherries, bananas and almond milk and blend on a medium setting until everything is smooth and creamy.
Pour into a glass, top with some chia seeds and sip slowly on a nice sunny day. That's really it! No rocket science here, just some really beautiful colors and flavors happening.

It Happened 'That Night' - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins five months later, in the night. The girls are shown having an all night party. They discuss all that they did in the five months. They all then receive a message from A, telling them to show A their breasts. They all then try to cheer up Emily, who is visibly depressed due to all that has transpired in the past. Suddenly in the middle of the night, Aria wakes up Hanna and shows her that the front door is wide open. They then discover that Emily is gone. Spencer too confirms that she looked everywhere but couldn't find Emily. They then try calling Emily, who is shown standing near Alison's grave with a shovel in her hand. Turns out, Alison's coffin is empty. The girls then arrive at the grave and are as perplexed to see it empty. Emily meanwhile is visibly distraught. Spencer then discovers that somebody called Emily from Spencer's phone.
Which means somebody was in Spencer's house. They then get out of the graveyard after getting rid of the shovel. Later at home, Spencer and Emily mull over who could have done such a thing. Spencer then burns all of Emily's clothes. The girls then leave for Spencer's lake house. Later Spencer is informed by her mother that the empty grave has been discovered, and the place is crawling with reporters. She also tells them that the police haven't found any leads. Aria is relived that nobody saw them there the previous night. Spencer then concocts a story that, the girls were at the lake house from afternoon of the previous day, and that they went to be bed early. She tells the girls to give this story, if anyone asks. Later, Ezra and Aria flirt around, and decide to make Labor Day special. The two then begin making out passionately. Meanwhile, Hanna does some shopping with her mother.
Hanna's mother feels Garrett paid someone to dig up the grave. Spencer meanwhile receives a call from an unknown number, but lies to Hanna who is standing nearby about it. Spencer then tells Hanna how she is worried about last night, and the fact that somebody was in her house last night, and in the same room as the girls. Hanna then tells Spencer that she is seeing Dr. Sullivan again, but promises Spencer that she shall not reveal anything to the doctor, about the previous. Emily is meanwhile told by her mother that, there was a reporter at the door, asking about the disappearance of Ali's body. Emily's mother then also tries consoling her by telling her that, Emily will soon start feeling better and get over things. Hanna meanwhile is paying Mona a visit. At the hospital she asks Mona who is sitting blankly, what she had done for Mona to hate her so much.
Later when Hanna has left Mona is seen looking at her leave, from a gap in the door. Toby and Spencer in the meanwhile are busy getting frisky in Spencer's house. Toby then stops Spencer midway, as she is the one who wanted to wait and proceeds to put his clothes on. Just then Spencer again receives a call from the unknown number, but doesn't pick it up. Later at school, the girls see Lucas and call out to him, but he avoids them and walks away. Meanwhile, Emily looks at the girls from a distance. Aria meanwhile is shown entering the restroom, and getting into a booth. Outside she hears some noise and is alarmed. She then catches a glimpse, of a man outside. She then sees the legs of the man approach the booth, from under the door, and shrieks for help. Later, a visibly ruffled Aria tells Hanna and Spencer that she had a panic attack, and possibly saw A.
They assure her that Mona is in a straitjacket in a mental asylum. Aria fells Mona could just be putting up an act, but Spencer reassures her that Mona has gone crazy. Later at home Spencer once again receives a call from the unknown number, but doesn't pick it up. Aria's mother in the meanwhile assures Aria that she and her father aren't separating because of Aria's relationship with Ezra. They have a lot of other issues which they couldn't resolve; hence separation was the best bet. She also tells Aria that, she doesn't have too much of a problem with Ezra. Emily meanwhile meets up with Toby. He tells Emily that he hasn't talked to Jenna since she left town. Emily then tells Toby that she wants to talk to him about something. Spencer meanwhile walks into what looks like an abandoned resort in the dark of the night.
Just as she is walking in, she hears a rustle of leaves from behind and is alarmed, but keeps walking anyway. She then enters a room and puts on the light, and then switches on her laptop. Hanna meanwhile receives a call from the mental asylum telling her that Mona is making progress, and Hanna's visits might be helping. She is told to drop by the asylum later, and check on Mona. Spencer meanwhile picks up a call from the unknown number and says "I am listening". Aria's mother meanwhile tells her that, the police are here and want to talk to her. Spencer, Aria and Hanna are then questioned, and all the three confirm the fact that they were at Spencer's lake house, the night Alison's body disappeared. Later, Ezra, Aria and her mother go out for dinner.
Later, Hanna pays Mona a visit. She tells Mona who is blankly staring at the wall that, she has been visiting her for weeks. Mona then turns around and smiles, while looking at the wall behind Hanna. Spencer meanwhile visits Garrett in jail. It was he who was calling her from an unknown number. He tells her that he is innocent, and all the evidence against him is false. He tells her he doesn't know anything about Maya, but he says he might know who killed Alison. He then tells her that he needs a lawyer, and also tells her that she and her friends aren't safe. Spencer doesn't believe anything he is saying, and just when he is about to be taken away, he tells Spencer he knows who took the body.
Emily meanwhile sees a car parked outside her house which she seems to recognize, she then receives a message from an unknown number which says "I bet you remember me". The car then drives away. Later Emily meets the girls and tells them "I remembered something about that night". She then tells them about the car. She then shows them the text she received. Hanna then tells the girls it can't be Mona, as she has been visiting her at the hospital. Spencer then shows the girls, A's lair, which was the room she had visited earlier, in the abandoned resort. Hanna and Spencer then tell Emily that, when they came to the lair the morning after Ali's death, they found the room empty. The girls then conclude that there was someone else helping Mona.
Just then the girls hear Spencer's car alarm go off. Outside they find all the doors of the car open, and on the seats and the dashboard of the car are strewn photos of the girls, standing over Alison's grave. They all then receive a message from A, saying "I play with body parts, not dolls. Game on bitches". The episode ends at this point.

Our Ukraine to participate in next parliamentary elections
The Our Ukraine party will take part in the next elections to Ukraine's parliament – the Verkhovna Rada irrespective of the outcome of the presidential ballot.
Head of the presidential secretariat and head of the Our Ukraine's political council Vira Ulyanchenko said this on Channel 5 on Tuesday night.
When asked, whether the early parliamentary elections are probable before the summer of 2010, Ulyanchenko said: "As the party's council leader I would say the elections are necessary," she said.

Calling Campy mechanics....
I just got a new road bike for my gurl. It has a mix of Centaur and Veloce components. The gearing is a nine speed with a triple crank.
She is new to road cycling and having a zillion gear choices but is learning.
The problem is that the bike does not like to be ridden in the middle ring/largest rear cog combination. Because the chain stays are short, the chain line in that gear is poor. So, there is a lot of chain noise or, the chain will shift itself off the middle ring and onto the small ring unless she possitions the front derailuere so it is holding the chain on the middler ring (slight rub). The auto gear change is disconserting.
So, my question is can the Veloce bottom bracket chain line be adjusted to the left a little without having the BB face of the frame milled?

Psoriasis Treatment
Ointments and Creams
Medicines you rub on your skin, called topicals, are usually the first treatment for mild psoriasis. Petroleum jelly or thick creams can help when you use them after a bath or shower. But your doctor may also prescribe stronger products made with ingredients that reduce swelling and slow the growth of skin cells.
Covering Up Topical Meds
Don't try this unless your doctor tells you to. It's called occlusion, and sometimes it can make treatments that go on your skin work better. But your medicine may be too strong to cover, or the method could make side effects worse. If your doctor says OK: After you put the product on your skin, cover the area with plastic wrap, waterproof dressing, nylon fabric, or cotton socks.
Light Therapy (Phototherapy)
Shining ultraviolet rays onto your psoriasis can stop skin cells from growing too fast. But don't sunbathe or hop in a tanning bed. That might make your symptoms worse. A doctor will tell you the type and amount you need. This treatment is usually painless. It's done using a laser or light box. You may take medication with it. Just like getting sun, though, it could raise your risk of skin cancer.
Laser Therapy
In this treatment, a doctor targets psoriasis with a concentrated beam of light. Healthy skin around the area isn't harmed or exposed to as many UV rays as with other types. The plaques thin after a series of sessions over 4 to 5 weeks. Your symptoms might go away for a while. The process is painless for most people, though some say they get mild redness and blisters.
Pills and Liquids
If skin treatments don't work, your doctor may prescribe pills or liquids. You usually take these meds by mouth, but some come as a shot. They can help clear up your skin and prevent flares if you have moderate or severe psoriasis. Common choices are acitretin (Soriatane), apremilast (Otezla), cyclosporine (Apo-Cyclosporine, Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), and methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall).
Shots and IV Treatments
Strong medicines called biologics treat some types of moderate and severe psoriasis. They block specific parts of the immune system that seem to help fuel the disease. Some of these drugs are injections you can give yourself at home. Others have to go directly into a vein, and you take them at a doctor's office. Common ones are adalimumab (Humira), etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), secukinumab (Cosentyx), and ustekinumab (Stelara).
Treatment and Pregnancy
Are you pregnant, nursing, or planning to have a baby? Ask your doctor which treatments are safe. Drugs you take by mouth, biologics, and even some topicals could cause birth defects or pass into breast milk. Some UV therapy may be OK for moms-to-be. If your doctor says you can get it, wear sunscreen to avoid brown spots called melasma that often affect women during pregnancy.
Water Therapy
This can give you relief without a prescription. Add Epsom salts, Dead Sea salts, oil, or oatmeal to your bath. A 15-minute soak may soothe itchy skin and remove scales. Use a moisturizer afterward. Swimming in saltwater takes off dead skin, so it may help, too. So could a dip in a regular pool. Wash off the chlorine when you get out. It can bother your skin.
Ease Stress
Too much tension can trigger flares, so find ways to let it go. You might get some relief by talking to other people who have the disease. Ask your doctor if she knows of a local support group. Or visit an online community like TalkPsoriasis.org. Also, take a walk or get some other kind of exercise. It'll boost the level of "feel-good" chemicals in your body.
Complementary Treatments
Some people say complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) helps them feel better. These treatments include special diets, Chinese herbs, yoga, and meditation. But there hasn't been a lot of research into how well they work for psoriasis. Check with your doctor before you try one. Yoga and meditation are likely safe, but herbs and supplements could mess with your medications.

UNITED NATIONS — Chemical weapons were used repeatedly in the Syria conflict this year, not only in a well-documented Aug. 21 attack near Damascus but also in four other instances, including two subsequent attacks that targeted government soldiers, U.N. experts concluded in a report released Thursday.
The report, prepared by chemical-weapons specialists and doctors who traveled to Syria to conduct interviews and collect samples amid active fighting, is the most detailed and comprehensive independent assessment of facts and accusations surrounding the use of chemical weapons in the conflict.
The experts, led by Swedish professor Ake Sellstrom, examined seven suspected chemical-weapons attacks and said it lacked information to corroborate the accusations at two locations.
It was the first time the United Nations asserted as fact that chemical weapons had been used on multiple occasions in the fighting between the forces of President Bashar Assad and the insurgents seeking to topple him.

The report also indicated chemical-weapons use after world outrage over the Aug. 21 attack, which killed hundreds of civilians including children.
The inspectors' limited mandate barred them from identifying whether the government or opposition fighters were responsible for any of the attacks.
Thursday's report said evidence indicated chemical weapons were probably used in Khan al Assal outside Aleppo, Jobar in Damascus' eastern suburbs, Saraqueb near Idlib in the northwest, and Ashrafiah Sahnaya in the Damascus countryside. In two cases, it found "signatures of sarin."
The government and opposition accused each other of using chemical weapons at Khan al Assal and the report said none of the parties in Syria denied their use in the village.
In an initial report Sept. 16, Sellstrom's team concluded that evidence collected in the Ghouta near Damascus after an Aug. 21 attack provided "clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used." Graphic video footage showed dozens of people gasping for air and bodies lined up; the U.S. government said more than 1,400 people were killed.
The confirmed use of chemical weapons in Ghouta and the threat of possible U.S. military action, led to a U.S.-Russia agreement to destroy all Syria's chemical weapons by mid-2014.
The destruction process, which the United Nations is helping to oversee, has been proceeding for two months and is considered a conspicuous success in a conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people and left millions displaced.
The experts said they collected "credible information that corroborates the allegations that chemical weapons were used in Khan al Assal on March 19, 2013, against soldiers and civilians." The report said information from medical, military and health personnel corroborated the occurrence of rapid mass poisoning "by an organophosphorus compound."
But the inspectors said the release of chemical weapons at the site couldn't be independently verified because it lacked "primary information" on how the chemical agents were delivered and because environmental and medical samples weren't scientifically collected, preserved and analyzed.
The U.N. mission said it collected evidence "consistent with the probable use of chemical weapons in Jobar on Aug. 24, 2013, on a relatively small scale against soldiers." But it said it lacked information on the delivery system and the chain of custody for samples, and said therefore it could not "establish the link between the victims, the alleged event and the alleged site."
At Saraqueb, the inspectors said they collected evidence "that suggests that chemical weapons were used … on April 29, 2013, on a small scale, also against civilians." Again, they said they lacked information on the delivery system and the chain of custody for environmental samples.
The U.N. mission said it collected evidence "that suggests that chemical weapons were used in Ashrafiah Sahnaya on Aug. 25, 2013, on a small scale against soldiers." But it said it lacked primary information on delivery systems and said samples collected by the U.N. experts one week and one month after the suspected incident tested negative.

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of wannabe cartoonists who all got rejected by newspaper syndicates for being unable to draw or write funny gags day after day after day after day… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!
Nate Fakes.
With a name like that, he's pretty much got to be funny, right?
Fakes is the creator of "Break of Day," a syndicated, single-panel daily comic strip in the mode of "The Far Side" or "Bizarro." As are most successful newspaper comics, it is drawn in a style that is instantly recognizable and has a voice that is all Fake — I mean Fakes.
NATE FAKES audio excerpt: "Ever since I've had a box of Crayons, I've been drawing."
You can LISTEN to this interview with cartoonist NATE FAKES, creator of BREAK OF DAY, by clicking the audio player above!
Three-hundred and sixty-five days a year, Fakes has to come up with a fresh gag that will evoke a smile, a chuckle, a belly laugh or even a declaration of "That's what I'm talkin' about!"
I imagine there are days when it's easy, when inspiration comes from all around.
And then there are probably days when his job seems like the worst possible way to earn a living in the world. An impossible task with no daylight ahead.
Complicating the work of the single-panel cartoonist is the lack of ongoing characters or storyline; unlike Rat and Pig in "Pearls Before Swine," for example, Fakes can't unfold a story over the course of a week, can't demonstrate character development, or even stick with a single character.
Maybe that's why he's also broadening his palate with an in-development graphic novel for young people called "Don Giovanni."
Oh, and one more thing you should know about Nate Fakes: he's based right here in the NEW new media capitol of the world, St. Petersburg, Florida.

The Biggest Loser contestants will also get a blast from the past. Biggest Loser 5 winner Alison Vincent will be paying a surprise visit to this season's contestants.

But that's not all. There will also be a surprise twist in how this week's elimination will go down. The Biggest Loser airs on Tuesday, November 11 from 8 PM to 10 PM on NBC.

Tallahassee, Florida –
The Florida Department of Elder Affairs' SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) program is available to provide free help for Florida Medicare beneficiaries as they carefully evaluate their health care options during the Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare.
During the Annual Enrollment Period, which begins today and runs through December 31, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to make changes to their Medicare Prescription Drug or Medicare Advantage plans. SHINE encourages beneficiaries to review their benefits each year for a variety of reasons. Individuals often experience subtle changes in their health over the course of the year, and these changes may alter the kind of care they need. This could directly affect their need for more or less health insurance, the types of prescription drugs they require or their access to particular doctors or pharmacies. Health changes can also increase costs, which can be particularly critical for Medicare beneficiaries on fixed incomes.
"It's vitally important that beneficiaries choose the plan options that are best for them during the Annual Enrollment Period, and that's why SHINE counselors are here to help," said SHINE Director Anne Rogers. "Beneficiaries should carefully review whether their existing plan is changing and if that change still gives them the most for their money."
Doing this type of cost-benefit check is especially important this year for those interested in Medicare Advantage plans, because starting in 2011 beneficiaries will no longer have the option to switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another during open enrollment. Instead, a Medicare Advantage Annual Disenrollment Period – running from January 1-February 14, 2011 – will allow beneficiaries only to disenroll from a Medicare Advantage plan and enroll in Original Medicare.
"Statewide our volunteer counselors can help seniors compare plans to be sure their current coverage is still providing them with essential benefits and to assess whether coverage or benefit changes would lower their costs. SHINE volunteers can also evaluate a beneficiary's eligibility for prescription savings programs," said Rogers.
SHINE counselors provide free, unbiased one-on-one insurance counseling and community education regarding Medicare options and prescription drug assistance for elders, their family and caregivers. Beneficiaries are encouraged to act quickly to assure a smooth transition into the 2011 benefit year. To receive help from SHINE to review and enroll in a plan, individuals may visit designated SHINE counseling sites, attend enrollment events in local communities or contact SHINE's trained volunteer counselors at 1-800-96-ELDER (1-800-963-5337). For a listing of SHINE counseling sites and enrollment events, visit www.FloridaSHINE.org.
Beneficiaries should be careful not to give personal information to anyone showing up at their home uninvited or making unsolicited phone calls in order to sell Medicare-related products or services. Beneficiaries who believe they are a victim of fraud or identity theft should call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227; TTY: 1-877-486-2048). More information is available at www.stopmedicarefraud.gov.

I wanted to run a powershell script (in a Deployment Server job) that takes the computername as an argument. For whatever reason, I couldn't figure out how to modify the "common" method ( https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/run-powershell-scripts-through-deployment-server ) to accept an argument. A nice guy suggested that I use psexec ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553 ) with the interactive switch. IIRC, this worked, but since my DS box is running Windows 2008R2, a message pops up about a window in another session. When you kick off Powershell scripts using PSExec without the interactive switch, powershell will wait around for input (effectively hanging). That wasn't acceptable, so searched and found a workaround: http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/2007/10/02/using-powershell-and-psexec-to-invoke-expressions-on-remote-computers/ . This is what I came up with.
First, make sure that your powershell execution policy is set to enable scripts to be run on your DS. Type get-help about_execution_policies at the powershell prompt to learn more.
Also, make sure that you've run PSExec.exe once on your DS, so that you can accept the EULA, or use the PSExec switch to bypass this.
I created a CMD file that I run in a DS task that looks like:
