The Russian Defense Ministry have released a video that they say proves the Su-24 Russian jet did not enter Turkish airspace.
While Turkey maintains that they shot down the plane due to it entering their airspace for 17 seconds, the Kremlin say that flight data contradicts their claims.
Sputniknews.com reports:
But flight data released by Russian Ministry of Defense shows that the Su-24s never entered Turkey, and were attacked while performing legitimate maneuvers over Syria.
On Tuesday, Turkish F-16s shot down a Russian Su-24M Fencer bomber. One of the pilots has been confirmed dead by Russian authorities, shot by rebel ground units after ejecting.
Russian President Vladimir Putin described the incident as a "stab in the back, carried out against us by accomplices of terrorists."

A GULF War hero has been kicked out of the Army while on sick leave – and told that he owes £8,000 in wages.
Corporal Darren Clemie completed two tours of duty in Iraq as well as in Bosnia, Kosovo and Northern Ireland during a distinguished 17-year career.
But the Birmingham-based member of the Yorkshire Regiment was signed off sick in 2005 after he and colleagues were accused of gun smuggling and drug possession while in Basra.
The dad-of-two was acquitted in 2007 but seven soldiers were jailed for smuggling arms back to their base in Germany.
Cpl Clemie, 36, remained on sick leave and on full pay after the trial as he battled alcoholism and a marriage breakdown. But in February the Army stopped paying him without warning – and told him he had been discharged in a phone call.
Cpl Clemie said: "I wanted to stay in the military and only found out about the discharge when I wasn't paid. I was told on the phone that the Army had discharged me.
"But as far as I am concerned I have not been discharged. There has been no discharge certificate and absolutely no contact with the military.
"The Army is now saying that I owe it £8,024 and claim to have tried to stop paying me three times in 2008. I have instructed lawyers because I want to stay in the Army and this is unfair dismissal."
He added: "I was cleared of any involvement in the arms and drugs case. But I believe the Army thinks I am a bad penny, it has just washed its hands of me. I have been left to rot without and care or support.
"The Army just wants me to disappear.
"I need to find work now, but people put my name through the internet and find out that I was accused in this case. Everybody just assumes that I was involved because of all the press coverage at the time, but nobody reported that I was cleared.''
Cpl Clemie was mentioned in despatches for gallantry in September 2005. He helped avert disaster in Basra when his squad came under fire one evening near to an area called 'Cigar Island' in the north-west of the city.
The brave Midland soldier moved forward with a colleague and used night vision to find that the firing was coming from men wearing Iraqi police body armour.
He quickly called a ceasefire and informed the patrol that they were exchanging fire with friendly forces.
Cpl Clemie was also praised by Major Montheim MBE soon after receiving the award. The major, second in command of the battalion at the time, said: "He is an intelligent, loyal and a self-motivated man who has given 13 years of outstanding service to the British Army.
"The loss of a man of such intelligence, experience and quality will be a blow to the Regiment and the Army."
But after being contacted by the Sunday Mercury about the case the Ministry of Defence launched an investigation – and put the £8,000 repayment claim on hold.
A spokeswoman said: "We are looking into this matter and no action will be taken to recover any possible overpayment while this investigation is taking place."

That quote has nothing to do with this post. I just thought it was funny and wanted to share a laugh. So if you don't have a sense of humor, I hope it made you smile at the very least.
With that being said...
If you've only got one day to explore the Big Apple and want to see all of the tourist attractions, call me Genie because
Your wish is my command.
I have put together (and personally tested) an itinerary that will allow you to hit most of the city's iconic spots in under 12 hours. Just remember to wear comfortable walking shoes–we New Yorkers walk a lot! Okay, ready to get started??
1. Brooklyn Bridge
Who wouldn't want to begin the day with some amazing architecture and a stunning skyline? Walk half of the Brooklyn Bridge to see an incredible view of NYC and the Statue of Liberty (look to your left when facing Manhattan).
2. Wall Street Bull
Head toward the Financial District and go fondle some balls! Yes, you read that right. Many people claim "it's good luck" to rub the balls of the famous Wall Street Bull, although it's probably just a bunch of bullcrap. (Don't bother waiting on that horrendous line for a photo, just cut in from the side to cop a feel and get out.) On your way out, stop by the New York Stock Exchange.
3. One World Trade
As you make your way toward the Freedom Tower and 9/11 Memorial, you can pass by Trinity Church, where Alexander Hamilton is buried. When you reach the World Trade Center, take a moment to commemorate all those lost in front of the fountains. If you see a white rose near someone's name, it's signifying a remembrance for that individual's birthday. On a side note, I am not a big fan of museums, but I highly recommend the 9/11 Museum for another time. It is probably my favorite museum I've ever visited. (Thanks Barnett!)
4. Oculus
Right next to the Freedom Tower (the sixth tallest building in the world), you will notice a white "skeleton," or "dove with clipped wings." Go inside! This is one of my favorite buildings in the city because of its structure and design. It's also part of the Westfield Mall, so if you want to get some shopping done, you're in luck. See for yourself!
5. Washington Square Park
Hop on the subway to Washington Square Park, or if it's a nice day, enjoy the 30 minute stroll through SoHo. The massive arch honoring George Washington is situated right on Fifth Ave–where the city divided into the East and West sides. Located near NYU, you will probably see a lot of young artists gathered in the park.
Optional: The Strand Bookstore, home to 18 miles of books, is located between here and the next stop. If you choose to visit, Union Square Park is also only two blocks away!
6. Flatiron Building
This triangular building has been featured in several movies (e.g., HQ of the Daily Bugle in Spiderman) and stands tall before Madison Square Park, where the first Shake Shack was born.
7. Empire State Building
Many people choose to visit the top of the ESB, but since you've got me to guide you, you won't have to worry about wasting any time in that horrendous line! If you're dying to snap a pic from the top of a skyscraper, go to Top of the Rock instead, where there are unobstructed views of Central Park. Or for a much cheaper option, 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar has free entry, and you'll have the Empire State Building in the background of your photos!
8. Grand Central Station
Another iconic NYC location, this transportation hub is almost always bustling. When you're inside the main concourse goggling at the celestial mural, look up toward one of the corners, and you'll notice a single black brick. This was the original color before it was painted that algae green! Curious to know more? Read about the ceiling's history here.
9. Times Square
Did you know it costs 7.1 million dollars per year to power all 55 of the LED displays in Times Square? Chew on that. That's almost 20,000 dollars every day.
The lights shine so bright at night that you can easily direct yourself toward the madness from several blocks away, without the need of a GPS. Although locals will steer clear of this place at all costs, I realize that this is one of the top spots on your list if you've never been before. There's no way to escape the crowd... unless you're driving through at 1am. To avoid the chaos...DON'T GO ON NEW YEARS EVE!
Want to capture the lights and pandemonium in all its glory? Snap a photo (and a sick time-lapse!) at the top of the Red Stairs.
10. Rockefeller Center
In the wintertime, this place is a madhouse chock full of tourists. If you do happen to be visiting during Christmastime, you will ultimately understand how it feels to be packed like a sardine. However, it is still a sight to see the massive Christmas tree standing tall before 30 Rock. The plaza gets transformed into an (overcrowded) ice rink and the Macy's Holiday Light Show will be on display across the way, and below it, their prominent window displays.
11. Radio City Music Hall
This historic entertainment venue has seen music artists of all genres, hosted shows such as America's Got Talent, and is home to the Radio City Rockettes. They offer tours where you can learn about the history of the building, discover Art Deco masterpieces, and meet a Rockette. Though I've never taken the tour, I have been inside the building a few times, and the Great Stage is surely fascinating–it measures a whole city block wide.
Congratulations! You made it through about a fifth of New York City. Vast, no? In Central Park alone you could spend a whole day getting lost.
The Big Apple has countless neighborhoods to explore, tours to take, shows to see, museums to visit, food to taste...the options are endless. Are you hungry for more?

traditional braces
At Samuelson Orthodontics, we let you decide what type of braces would suit you best. Some of our patients like to "show off their smile" with the metal victory series bracket from 3M Unitek. Today's braces are more comfortable and more effective than they were in the past, meaning they usually don't have to stay on as long as older braces did. This traditional type of bracket is made of high-grade stainless steel. Our patients comfort and choice is one of our main concerns.

Logickeyboard's custom keyboard for Apple Final Cut Pro is based on the original Ultra Thin Apple Pro keyboard. It offers plug-and-play setup with any USB-equipped Mac computer. It has a good feel, and the stylish, modern appearance of the "New Apple Look".
The difference between my regular keyboard, and this custom keyboard is what it does for my editing speed in FCP.
In addition to writing reviews, I also have a production company that makes TV shows, so I am able to test products in a real world environment. Since I only switched over to MAC a couple of years ago, I find that having the FCP shortcut keys labeled on the keyboard makes myFCP editing a lot simpler and faster.
A nice side effect of this keyboard is that I am actually beginning to memorize the FCP key commands. Another added benefit is that it is slim enough to fit into the pull out keyboard tray under my editing desk, rather than having to live on top of the desk like my regular Mac wireless keyboard.
Mac will allow you to use more than one keyboard at a time. Since the Logickeyboard for FCP features all the regular letter, number, and symbol labeling found on my conventional keyboard, I can use either one, or both if I choose. I use the conventional keyboard for reviews, and my new Logickeyboard for editing.
The Logickeyboard is actually a real Apple Pro extended keyboard, it just has all of the icons for selecting tools, navigating, and editing on color-coded key caps. This week I found that it made sorting P2 clips in Log and Transfer a much easier process. Having the in and out, and the forward and backward keys color-coded made the pre-editing of my 75 clips go much faster. I am still learning FCP, and between the tutorials at www.lynda.com and my new FCP logickeyboard, I'm making good progress.
Logickeyboard has also introduced their Advanced line of keyboards. The Pro and advanced lines both use the same keyboard, but instead of the color being molded into the keys, the Advanced keys use a paint guaranteed to outlast the keyboard. It's basically the same thing, and saves you $45.
They also have released a keyboard for use with Final Cut Studio Color, which you can see on their website.
MSRP: FCP Pro Line $159.00
FCP Advanced Line $114
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The system used to test this product is a MacPro dual Quad core 3Ghz computer with 12GB of RAM, an AJA Hle card, 10 Seagate 450GB SAS drives in an AIC case , controlled by an Atto R380 SAS controller, a Gateway 24" computer monitor, and a 17" TV Logic HD monitor for video output.

Android App Development: The Genymotion Emulator
Android's standard emulator (the emulator that you download from Google's website) is notoriously messy. The startup is slow, and even after startup, the emulator's response can be painfully sluggish. You may test Android code on a real device connected via USB to your computer. The performance on a real device (even on an older Android device) is much snappier than on the standard emulator.
If you don't like the standard emulator, and you don't want to attach devices to your development computer, you have a third choice. At Genymotion.com, you can download an alternative to the standard Android emulator. The alternative is available for Windows, Macintosh, and 64-bit Debian-based systems.
Genymotion's emulator is must faster and has more features than the standard emulator. If there's a downside to the Genymotion emulator, it's the cost. Genymotion's product is free for personal use, but costs from 100 to 300 Euros for commercial use.
If you develop apps only for personal use, or if you have money to spend on a commercial venture, then Genymotion's emulator is definitely worth considering.
And that does it! You're ready to run your first Android app. Go for it!

(Q)SAR assessments of potentially mutagenic impurities: A regulatory perspective on the utility of expert knowledge and data submission
(Quantitative) structure activity relationship [(Q)SAR] modeling is the primary tool used to evaluate the mutagenic potential associated with drug impurities. General recommendations regarding the use of (Q)SAR in regulatory decision making have recently been provided in the ICH M7 guideline. Although (Q)SAR alone is capable of achieving reasonable sensitivity and specificity, reliance on a simple positive or negative prediction can be problematic. The key to improving (Q)SAR performance is to integrate supporting information, also referred to as expert knowledge, into the final conclusion. In the regulatory context, expert knowledge is intended to (1) maximize confidence in a (Q)SAR prediction, (2) provide rationale to supersede a positive or negative (Q)SAR prediction, or (3) provide a basis for assessing mutagenicity in absence of a (Q)SAR prediction. Expert knowledge is subjective and is associated with great variability in regards to content and quality. However, it is still a critical component of impurity evaluations and its utility is acknowledged in the ICH M7 guideline.
The current paper discusses the use of expert knowledge to support regulatory decision making, describes case studies, and provides recommendations for reporting data from (Q)SAR evaluations.

LC recommended I start pumping a bottle a day and get LO used to taking a bottle aleady. She's 17 days old. This far, BF has been going well. My let down is quick and the only thing about BF that bothers me is the baby frequently chokes on my breastmilk, probably because she is getting so much. It doesn't always happen at the beginning of a feeding, sometimes it happens in the middle...so I try to burp mid-way.
Anyone experience an oversupply once they started pumping?
I started pumping once a day to help with engorgement. I would get so engorged it was uncomfortable and painful. My baby is now 5 weeks old and I don't think it has created an oversupply. I pump about an hour after her first morning feeding and what I pump I freeze. At times, I also pump later in the day and let my husband feed her the bottle. He loves it.
Good Luck!
I think it's possible to create a slight oversupply is you're pumping really frequently. I had to use a nipple shield because of a poor latch and I pumped after every feeding to help my supply and to supplement LO with. After a few weeks, I began to have issues with LO choking on my letdown.
After I stopped supplementing and weaned off of the shield, my supply regulated.
If you're only pumping once a day and then giving it to her then you'd probably be ok as long as you don't pump for long after the milk stops coming out. Pumping in addition to regulat feedings though can definitely cause over supply. You'd be telling your body that you need more milk for LO then what you're producing. I'd worry about doing that with a quick let-down because it'd probably make it worse (b/c of the fullness).
I would worry a little bit about the potential for nipple confusion this early on though.
It did for me.
I already had a healthy supply. Pumping that early (and pumping both breasts instead of one since she only ate one a feeding) created HUGE oversupply issues.
Just watch for signs and stop if you see its causing an issue.
Sort of this. I pumped 1X a day midmorning to start getting a freezer stash to have in the house. I have oversupply issues, but I'd pump using a manual pump both sides when DD only eats from one. When I was pumping DD would definitely get too much, sputter, choke, etc. So I stopped and things are slowly getting better. Though who knows if it is regulating b/c of DD's age, she's better able to handle it, or that I dropped pumping.

Garcia report into Fifa's bidding process that awarded World Cups to Russia and Qatar is leaked
A top-secret report into the discredited bidding process for the next two World Cups has been dramatically leaked after German newspaper Bild started publishing extracts from the potentially-explosive document.
The so-called 'Garcia report', the 430-page findings of one of the biggest investigations ever carried out within sport, began to appear online and it did not make good reading for 2022 hosts Qatar.
According to one extract, the conduct of those seeking to bring football's biggest tournament to the tiny but mega-rich Gulf state "served to undermine the integrity of the bidding process".
That finding of the report, which was written in 2014 by former United States attorney Michael J Garcia, Fifa's then chief investigator, appeared to contrast with a summary that was published in November of that year by the governing body's head judge, Hans Joachim Eckert.
Garcia and Eckert both cited the role played in Qatar's bid by the Aspire Academy, the country's high-tech sports facility.
The Garcia report concluded: "At a minimum, the targeting of Aspire-related resources to curry favour with executive committee members created the appearance of impropriety. Those actions served to undermine the integrity of the bidding process."
However, the Eckert summary found: "The potentially problematic facts and circumstances identified by the report regarding the Qatar 2022 bid were, all in all, not suited to compromise the integrity of the Fifa World Cup 2018/2022 bidding process as a whole."
Garcia resigned in protest at Eckert's summary of his report, which he claimed contained "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts".
The small number of other people familiar with the document insisted at the time that Garcia had not uncovered enough evidence for Russia or Qatar to be stripped of the next two World Cups.
Bild also claimed last night that Garcia found that three members of the Fifa executive committee which voted for Qatar had, prior to the December 2010 ballot, been flown to a party in Rio on a private jet provided by the Qatari Football Association.
He was also said to have found that the daughter of one ExCo member had £1.6 million deposited in her bank account in the months after the vote, as exclusively revealed by the Daily Telegraph.
And it said the husband of one of disgraced former Fifa president Sepp Blatter's closest aides was found to have been handed a contract in Qatar for his construction company.
The reporter who obtained a copy of the report nevertheless said it did not provide concrete proof the 2018 and 2022 tournaments had been bought.

However, he cited the role it had played in the suspensions and criminal action against many of the world's most senior football officials.
Fifa had refused to publish the full report while those criminal investigations were ongoing, a process that has already taken several years and is expected to last several more.

I owe a debt of gratitude to the conradjohnson CA200 control amplifier and a saxophone. In a single moment they crystallized in my mind a conclusion that I arrived at during last year's Class D amp survey. There I opined (as did some of my colleagues) that the sonic picture created in the treble range by Class D amps seemed less than complete, lacking in harmonic complexity and dynamic energy.
The sax in question is featured in the title song of Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen [Cypress] Rather than reproducing the instrument with its plaintive sound intact, the Class D digital amps made it sound, well…odd. Still a sax, yes, but one that had morphed into something synthesized, one-dimensional, and airless. As luck would have it I decided to bounce these impressions off the then recently delivered CA200 control amplifier. This 185Wpc, zero-feedback design, with a bipolar transistor output stage, reintegrated the sax and all its gritty emotion into the larger spatial environment where it was recorded. Throughout the Class D survey, the CA200 control amplifier stood in as one of the most revealing sounding boards I could have asked for.
Following this experience I chatted up conrad-johnson vice-president Lew Johnson for details about the CA200. He emphasized that the CA200 is not an integrated amplifier per se, because that implies the presence of a linestage preamplifier and there is no linestage in the CA200. The audio circuit comprises a single voltage gainstage, followed by a high-current buffer/output stage. "It's exactly the same circuit found in the Premier 350, scaled down to roughly one-half scale (185 watts per channel), as dictated by the compact chassis size," Johnson said. "This circuit uses our autolinear gain circuit that is designed for zero distortion (theoretical) with zero feedback—and in fact, as is the case with the Premier 350 amp, there is no loop feedback in the CA200." Finally, the bipolar transistor output stage achieves a high damping factor without loop feedback.
In essence, the CA200 is a highgain amplifier harnessed to a steppedattenuator level control and inputselector switches. As Johnson would be the first to point out, less circuitry and the elimination of a set of interconnects give amplifiers of this ilk an advantage, but only if other elements have been equally well-executed. Certainly, parts-quality is first-rate: Vishay metal-foil resistors (including all elements of the discrete stepped-attenuator level control), CJD polystyrene capacitors, and the same input and output connectors found on CJ's flagship products.
The sonic character of the CA200 is marked by a golden sweetness and a hint of tube-like warmth that are best appreciated with acoustic instruments and voices. A great example is Mark O'Connor's tasteful fiddle accompaniment of James Taylor's vocal during "Hard Times Come Again No More" [Appalachian Journey, Sony]. There's a red richness to the midrange of both of these instruments—a bit of darkness, but also high transparency. I could hear the CA200's slightly forgiving character on transient cues, but also a closedfisted authority in the lower octaves that is equal parts timbral realism and pitch extension and control—traits that often fail to be realized at the same time in many one-box amplifiers. The CJ's dynamic reserves are considerable, but it's at its most expressive with complex harmonic interplay—the kind of challenges that the disparate voices of a symphony orchestra routinely provide. Even on a well-worn recording like Bryn Terfel's "Il Mio Cuore Va" [Sings Favourites, DG], the brass and wind sections were no longer a blur of activity on a fuzzy soundstage; they expressed varying degrees of dynamics and loudness, smoothly layered into the overall orchestral image. Although it reproduces studio-mounted pop with élan, the CA200 somehow sounds as if it's slumming a bit—as if these compressed and contrived creations hardly present a meaningful challenge. Like the best amplifiers, the CJ is profoundly quiet, which lets it express gossamer-fine microdynamics, allowing even Evgeny Kissin's most delicate touch on the Steinway to contrast with a note sounded a hare's breath less pianissimo [The Lark, RCA].
Don't think for a minute that the CA200 turns up its nose at rock, however. It might have been to finishing school, but the CA200 will play dirty. Just crank up the volume on Lucinda Williams' searing "Changed the Locks" and hear the sweat and drive of the churning rhythm section and scorching Telecaster bearing down on Williams' push-me/pull-me tale of the love obsessed. As with classical material, spatial details prevail and Williams' vocal is a few feet more distant, back in the rhythm section mix. While an amp like the Plinius 9200 is almost down her throat, presenting her voice with gravelly roughness, the CA200 reproduces the same vocal with finer grit. Which is more correct? Hard to say, except that the 9200 probably captures more of the raw, inyour- face emotion of the performance.

Each custom woodworking plan and entertainment center plan is in PDF format. What you see in the sketches and photos is what you will achieve, with, of course, some of your own adaptations, modifications, decorative choices and your own personal touch.
The photos at the bottom of the page were provided by people like you who have built their projects from my plans.
PROCESSING NOTES: No matter how easy I have tried to make following these media center plans and constructing them, if you find it overwhelming to attempt the project or operate the basic tools necessary for completion, get help. Contact your local supplier to see if sheet goods can be ripped to fit your car trunk. The possibility of ordering all the parts ready for assembly is also available. Most importantly, when you set off to build your project, help is only an email message away.
Order now, get your project done and have your project posted on this page for all the world to see!
Parts kits can also be made available.
So why build your own furniture? Because it is an investment in you! Let's do some you-win math.
If you are prepared to go out and spend a few grand on a furniture piece or set, use your time and money to invest in your own skills and products built by your hands? It takes time, but it is not difficult to build your own custom furniture with a set of good woodworking plans.
Example Entertainment Center: $25 for plans + $750 for materials + $1200 for good quality tools = $1975. Less than a few grand! Of course you don't have to buy brand new tools; search the sale lists online (i.e. Craigslist, Freecycle.org, etc.) in your area. You are sure to find some good deals on power tools and even materials! (A good set of tools includes a table saw, miter saw, nail gun and compressor and four piece cordless tool set.)
Now that you have the tools, you can build anything you want whenever you want at a fraction of the cost. Install molding, update your window casings and trimwork, build a custom closet, some laundry room shelves or whatever! Not to mention, now you can start making gifts for friends and family or building a small business. The opportunities are set by your imagination.
YouTube has plenty of videos to help with tips, tricks, techniques and knowledge about working with power tools and building your own furniture.

The return of Marvel's strongest Avengers gave the box office a much-needed shot in the arm this weekend, helping Hollywood rebound from a moribund October.
Running away with first place is Thor: Ragnarok (read our review), the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film brought in a whopping $121 million in its first three days domestically, capitalizing on the waves of positive buzz and lack of any competition. This is far and away the largest debut for any solo Thor movie, and the seventh-highest start for the franchise all-time. Ragnarok is Marvel's third $100+ million start of 2017 (following Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming), making this the first time in history a single production studio has released three films to open with $100 million or more in one year.
Thanks to a week head-start in international markets, Ragnarok has blown by the $400 million mark worldwide, already turning a profit for Marvel. This is great news for the studio, since Thor and Hulk shouldn't stay on top of the charts for much longer. We're only a couple of weeks away from the premiere of Justice League, which will surely take away much business from the MCU. Thanks to the word-of-mouth and popularity of its featured superheroes, Ragnarok should easily stay on top for next week, but its legs may get cut out once we reach the middle of the month.
Coming in second is A Bad Moms Christmas, which was the hastily-made sequel to last year's comedy hit, Bad Moms. The movie grossed $17 million during its opening weekend, which is slightly less than what its predecessor made in its first three days ($23.8 million). The reasoning for this is most likely twofold. Going head-to-head against a Marvel movie is a commercial death wish, even with Bad Moms trying to position itself as a counter-programming option. Also, the reviews were less than stellar, which definitely didn't help its prospects. Bad Moms Christmas couldn't break out of its niche, and it probably won't be able to turn things around as its run continues.
Falling to third is last week's champ, Jigsaw, with $6.7 million in its second weekend. The horror sequel dropped 59.7 percent from its opening numbers, which isn't a big surprise considering Halloween has now passed and the film itself was widely panned by critics. The Saw property isn't as prominent as it once was, and obviously could not contend with the God of Thunder. To date, Jigsaw has earned $28.8 million in the States and has turned a minor profit thanks to its cost-effective production budget, but it likely will not go down as one of the biggest Saw films.
In fourth is Boo 2! A Madea Halloween, which earned $4.6 million. The comedy is now up to $42.9 million domestically.
Rounding out the top five is Geostorm. The disaster movie (and disastrous box office bomb) made $3 million in its third weekend, raising its Stateside total to $28.7 million.
The #6 film is Happy Death Day, making $2.8 million to increase its domestic haul to $52.9 million.
Coming in seventh is Thank You For Your Service. The war drama grossed $2.2 million in its second weekend and now stands at $7.3 million domestically.
Blade Runner 2049 comes in eighth with $2.2 million. Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed sci-fi sequel has now made $85.4 million domestically.
In ninth is Only the Brave with $1.9 million. The drama has now made $15.2 million domestically.
Capping off the top 10 is Jackie Chan's action vehicle, The Foreigner with $1.5 million. Its domestic total currently stands at $31.9 million.
[NOTE: These are only weekend box office estimates -- based on Friday and Saturday ticket sales coupled with adjusted expectations for Sunday. Official weekend box office results will be released on Monday, November 6 -- at which time we'll update this post with any changes.]

Ellon United saved their poorest display of the season so far for the visit of Dufftown to The Meadows last weekend.
Dufftown won most of the individual battles all over the pitch and left with a 3-0 win.
They created more attempts on goal and their shoot on sight policy compared with United's shot-shy approach helped to keep them on the front foot.
It took some good early saves by Morgan Cook to keep the game all square at 0-0 at the interval and ironically when the game was evenly balanced in the second period two horrible United errors presented the gift of goals to give Dufftown a further lift.
Two fine saves from Morgan Cook and a last ditch tackle by Jason Thornton midway through the opening period saw the sides go in goalless at the interval despite Dufftown's overall superiority as United were unable to keep any form of meaningful possession or to pose any goal threat.
United showed much more determination after the break but still lacked penetration and a willingness to test keeper McIntosh.
The home team made their first change on the hour mark with James Bain replacing Callum Tremaine.
With the game now evenly poised United committed suicide five minutes later when Stuart Massie uncharacteristically squared the ball straight into the path of Dufftown's Rodrigues giving the former Lossiemouth player a clear run in on goal.
The United midfielder almost made amends when he cut the back from the byeline to James Bain but the striker's first time effort went wide. United made a second change with Fraser Gill coming on for Kevin Anderson.
With all still to play for United gifted the visitors their second goal.
This time the experienced Chris Craib was the unlikely culprit presenting Rodrigues with his second on a plate.
The home side could make no breakthrough and when they were unable to clear their lines in the 90th minute substitute Taylor was there to take advantage.

Sony Pictures releases the first US trailer for Resident Evil: Vendetta, the upcoming CG film starring Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
While some Resident Evil fans may still be busy exploring the creepy Baker family plantation in Resident Evil 7, others have already played through the game and are anxious to see what's next for the franchises. Besides a slew of Resident Evil 7 DLC Capcom has in store, Resident Evil fans also have a brand new CG film to look forward to in the form of Resident Evil: Vendetta, which has just received its first US trailer.
The first US trailer for Resident Evil: Vendetta doesn't have any new footage, but it comes with a couple of new details about the film's release outside of Japan. The Japanese version of Resident Evil: Vendetta is set to release on May 27th, but the US version has a vaguer "summer 2017" release window. We also now know that the US version of Resident Evil: Vendetta will have a limited run in theaters to coincide with its home media release.
US fans excited to see Resident Evil: Vendetta may be disappointed to learn that the film isn't necessarily releasing in the US on the same day as Japanese audiences get to see it, but perhaps the chance to see it on the big screen will make up for the possible delay. While they wait for a more specific release date for the CG film, fans can check out the US version of the Resident Evil: Vendetta trailer below.
[embed width="800" height="450"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myTsKx3SJv0[/embed]
Starring Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers, Resident Evil: Vendetta is said to be inspired by the first game in the series. True to its inspiration, Resident Evil: Vendetta will feature a creepy mansion not unlike the one seen in the original Resident Evil game. However, it also caters to the franchise's over-the-top action side, with motorcycle chases, massive explosions, and ridiculous action sequences that may make the characters feel more like superheroes than real people.
Even with what basically amounts to superhuman power at their disposal, the villain in Resident Evil: Vendetta looks to be giving Leon, Chris, and Rebecca a run for their money. Known as Glenn Arias, this "death merchant" has developed a new strain of virus called the Trigger Virus, which allows him to create more intelligent bioweapons, and he plans on unleashing it on New York City.
It remains to be seen how Leon, Chris, and Rebecca will put a stop to Arias' diabolical plans, but fans will find out this summer if they are able to defeat him. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if Resident Evil: Vendetta has any connections to the franchise's overall lore besides the returning characters, and if it bridges the narrative gap between Resident Evil 6 and 7.
Resident Evil: Vendetta releases this summer.

Yeah, it's a thing, at least according to the World Naked Gardening Day official website. Established fifteen years ago, WNGD (for short) is celebrated on the first Saturday of every May. Why, you ask? It's a pretty wonderful concept: to move towards a healthier acceptance of our bodies that isn't always in a sexualized context and to recognize that we are, in fact, animals, deeply connected to the natural world. It also strikes me as a wonderful and playful way to enjoy Beltane, get in touch with nature, and our natural cycles…even if you don't want to actually garden in the nude.
It's about shedding our fear of naked bodies, tuning into our corporeal needs, and celebrating this divine season of fertility and new beginnings. Some people dance around May poles. Others hunt for dyed eggs, gifts from a magical bunny. Others garden naked. Personally, I'm kind of a fan of all three and any other spring celebration that asks us to go outside and find joy in this new season. Spring reminds us to be playful, silly, casting off our heavy winter thoughts and turning to the more immediate pleasures of this passionate season.
Full disclosure, however: I have a lovely patio garden and am nowhere near a place where I could plant seeds in the nude without the threat of photos ending up on the internet! Still, I love the concept of shedding our cool-weather skins, letting our bodies be kissed by the sun, and getting a little dirty. So if you're like me—not ready to give your neighbors an eyeful, but want to celebrate the essence of this day—here are five simple ways to honor the spirit of Naked Gardening Day without the threat of itchy plant matter getting into your tender bits.
Garden without gloves. Sure, there are times when you need your heavy duty gloves to pull weeds and turn soil. But then there comes the seed planting, which is actually easier to do with your gloves off. I love the feel of fat fava and thorny beet seeds in my hands as I bury them in the soil. My direct connection to the earth and the seeds that will later become delicious produce remind me that each intention, soul seed, and thought I plant now will eventually bear fruit. It's tangible proof that magic is real.
Garden barefoot. Again, there are times when shoes come in handy, especially when you're doing the heavy duty work of prepping your garden. But then there are the times where it is lovely to go barefoot in newly turned soil as you plant your tender shoots and young plants. The technical hippy metaphysical term for walking barefoot is called earthing. Literally putting your bare soles on the earth grounds, relaxes, and maybe even boosts your immunity. Let your toes wriggle in soft soil and your heels sink into the compost-enriched dirt under your feet. There's no better way to reconnect with nature.
Simply spend time in nature…in as few clothes as possible. Don't tell me you don't love the sun's first warm kiss of spring on your back. Don't tell me you've never been tempted to skinny dip or sunbath nude—or that you've never done either. If you're in a position where naked isn't comfortable or possible, just get as naked as you can—think short shorts, bikini-tops or even a bathing suit. Trust me. You will love the way the sun caresses your skin and how the breeze tickles your bare arms and legs. Just don't forget the SPF—as a desert woman, I know all about wearing protection so I can enjoy the great outdoors without the sunburn souvenir!
Make a conscious effort to feel comfortable in your own skin. Even if you can't get naked or wear a filmy dress and ribbons in your hair as you dance around a May pole, take this day to simply love your body and all that it does for you. Garden. Go for a nature walk. Do yoga. Forget about your perceived flaws and take your cues from nature—after all, the butterfly doesn't compare itself to the dragonfly or the ladybug. It merely goes about its business. Take this day to marvel at what a beautiful animal you are.
Relish the sensuality of gardening. It doesn't matter if you're coated in sunscreen, jeans and a t-shirt, or merely a daisy crown and a smile, gardening is sexy work. We get to strip things down to basics—planting seeds, getting dirty, relying on sunlight, water and hard work to produce nourishment. Gardening is a sensory experience, from feeling the soil and seeds in your hands, to hearing the birds sing and the bees buzz around with their enthusiastic pollination duties. We get sweaty. We relax. We forget to check the clock and instead rely on the passing clouds and shifting sun to let us know a full day has passed among our plants. We remember our powerful connection to the earth and our profound capacity to live in harmony with it.
So here's to spring. Here's to honoring our powerful connection to nature. Here's to enjoying our bodies. Happy gardening!

Let go and be lighter
There are problems in my life that are bigger than what I can fix alone. I don't like that one bit but I am learning to accept it. What more can be said than that? I am also trying to remember that when I am sure I have run out of resources both within myself and around me I am always wrong. It isn't worth staying in bed, it isn't worth being angry, and it most certainly isn't about feeling failure. It's about finding what you need, to do what needs to be done. I'm learning to take a long hard look at such seeming insurmountable problems, maybe said problem isn't worth trying to solve at all. Maybe it's just time to let it go and move on to something you can work out.
I just imagined I was a fisherman who struggled for hours to land the perfect catch. But it slipped away just as I was dragging it into the boat. A flash of anxiety and frustration seemed certain to leave me ill-tempered for the rest of the evening. But the water was so clear in that in an equally brief moment I watched that perfect fish swim away as light from a late day sun glittered off the water and the clouds started turning purple. I paused, and was in that moment awed by the fish, and then the landscape. My arms were tired, my back sore but my head was clear.

Gaining a Year, Losing a Friend
I turned 35 a few days ago. I wasn't looking forward to it, mainly because those multiples of 5 (30, 35, 40) make me squirm. But when the day finally came, I barely thought about it as I was consumed with something else entirely. On March 5th, 2018, our family lost a loyal friend.
- - - - -
"But we're out of dog food. We need to buy more... don't we?" My 7-year-old looked at me hopefully, desperately trying to hold back his tears. His little lip quivered as he tried to wrap his mind around what I had just told him and his brother.
No, we won't need more dog food because Rocky, our goofy, sweet, adorable black Lab went to the great dog park in the sky.
- - - - -
His nails clicked across the floor, excited and yet wary. His anxious pacing alternated with his wagging tail. His ears perked up at every new sound.
He was soon out of breath, panting and wheezing from the walk from the parking lot to the exam room at the vet. He laid down, taking the weight off of his tumor-ridden leg. His sweet liquid brown eyes stared at us adoringly.
- - - - -.
My mind is trying to imagine what life will be like without our furry first child. We snuggle him and rub his ears and his belly and give him kisses. We say our goodbyes. I can't stop crying and briefly contemplate taking him home and forgetting the whole thing. But I know his suffering outweighs my sadness. It's time. I'm not at all ready, but it's time.
- - - - -
They don't tell you what it will feel like. Sure, they give you a rundown of what will physically happen and how long it will take and what they do afterwards. But they don't tell you how to keep your heart from breaking. How you replay it in your mind over and over and desperately hope that the whispered words of love and comfort were understood. They can't warn you how it will feel to come home to a silent house: no more snores at the foot of the bed, no more back-to-back-to-back sneezes, no more wagging tail knocking things over. They can't fill the holes in the hearts of two little boys who still ask if he will come back and if they will see him again and why he had to go.
- - - - -
Our dog died on my birthday. But the gift of his loyalty and love will last in our hearts always. Rest in peace, Rocky. You were the bestest boy we could have ever asked for. I miss you.

4 Game-Changing Collaboration Tools Your Team Needs Now
Collaboration can make any business better. Recently I saw a jarring statistic that out of 140,000 corporate executives surveyed, 86% believe a lack of collaboration was responsible for workplace failures
Beyond just performance, collaboration fosters teamwork and enhances employee morale.
Here are seven technologies that we employ at Betach to drive business collaboration.
1. Video conferencing
Video conferencing has become a go-to collaboration technology for many reasons. At Betach we appreciate that we are no longer limited to boardrooms and large meeting venues. Thanks for Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams, our reach and accessibility have been greatly expanded. Because it allows us to express nearly all facets of communication, from tone of voice to facial cues, video conferencing is often our collaborative tool of choice. Sometimes an old fashioned phone call doesn't properly express the camaraderie and empathy we want our customers to feel. Besides increasing productivity and fostering stronger, connected relationships, video collaboration can also help businesses reduce travel costs.
2. Interactive white boards
Widely used in academia, interactive whiteboard technology has been adopted by the business world as a critical collaboration and productivity tool. Interactive whiteboards, like the brand-new Microsoft Surface Hub 2, boost communication, make document annotation easier and more effective, and enable a greater range of data sharing and inter-connectivity that includes Office 365 integration with mobile capabilities. Touch-screens eliminate the need for a mouse or pointer, making them even more collaborative.
3. Artificial Intelligence tools
More and more businesses are using artificial intelligence to make their operations faster and more efficient, but the same technology can improve collaboration among workers. Microsoft Teams bots, for example, utilize machine learning for coworkers to exchange kudos, deliver reports, share data, and train managers to provide helpful feedback. A bot can analyze collective experience to help eliminate repeated mistakes, accelerate learning, better leverage unknown skills, and automatically connect people with other colleagues, research, solutions, and sources of knowledge.
4. Enterprise Networking Tools
It's amazing watching the adoption journey of Microsoft Teams among organizations and how it is quickly becoming a mission critical tool. For me, it's mission critical because of the collaboration and teamwork that's occurring inside, and the data that is being stored is quickly becoming the heartbeat of many organizations and their project teams.
Yammer empowers every person in your company with an open space to connect, share and work out loud. Seamless document sharing, video embedding, and third-party app connectors makes it easy to share an executive message, article, or product update and see tallies of views and likes.
Driving new opportunities
The old saying "two heads are better than one" certainly holds up in the digital-driven age. Technology is driving collaboration in ways we could not have imagined a decade ago. Tools we rely on today will likely get even better in the future-;and they're sure to be joined by some entirely new contenders to create unprecedented opportunity for businesses of all sizes.
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com /(403) 984-2473 to find out how Office 365 collaboration tools can help your organization.

On the Economy
For decades Delaware has been seen as the number one most business friendly state in the nation. However, recent legislative and court decisions have caused Delaware to lose that standing, and with it, hundreds of jobs for Delawareans (1). Not only did these businesses provide needed jobs, but they also helped share the tax burden on the state, increasing our overall state revenue. Decreasing the regulations related to starting and maintaining a business will help make Delaware more attractive again to businesses. I also want to work with the unions to ensure that regulation reform is favorable to the workers of Delaware.
Government over-spending directly affects the taxpayer, so Delaware residents deserve better budget management. As a former small business owner, I have experience in managing a budget and making payroll. A balanced budget for Delaware is possible while lessening the tax burden on Delaware residents. Proposed increases in taxes will damage our economy and make Delaware less attractive to new and expanding businesses. I am a strong proponent for fiscally responsible tax reform that puts Delaware residents and our economy first.

[Expendable] The Mechanics of Guilt and Innocence
April 04, 2006, 01:00:12 PM »
"Expendable" was a Ronnies enty last year that I am finally getting around to
Here's the PDF
over at 1km1t
the Ronnies thread
In the latest drafts of the game, I have answered a number of the questions Ron had in the thread above, and fixed some minor mechanical stuff to make it more clear. My largest problem remains with the Guilt, Innocence and Repenetant mechanics.
A quick summary of the current basic rules: Two players roll against one another with a pool of dice. Each finds their highest die. The number of the opponent's dice higher than that is the number of injuries they take.
rolls that are ties cause injury to BOTH parties. These injuries stick and cannot be removed with Fallout.
After a roll, either player can use a skill point to "Increase the Stakes", shifting the damage to his equipment, the local environment, or bystanders (the process is called "Fallout"). They may then reroll with a penalty. Damaged Equipment may be useless or less useful now (out of power, out of bullets, irreprably damaged, shorted out, intermittently functional, etc.), a damaged Environment places the Fallout in a pool that is used by the gamemaster in various ways, damaged Bystanders cause a loss of Innocence or Repentance.
Ok, now, here's the problem I face: the role of Guilt/Innocence/Repetance in all this.
Guilt and Innocence are binary on/off switches. You can go from the latter to the former, but not back. Repententance is something you earn through Acts of Innocence (as defined by the players before play begins. I will include a sample list in the final book).
Guilt is supposed to provide both a large bonus and a large penalty. The penalty is supposed to be that the character is an injury magnet. The bonus is supposed to be a greater ability to resist or divest oneself of damage. How this actually functions has not been worked out. I am concerned that this is basically negating both the penalty and the bonus, so why bother? However, Guilt does have one concretized benefit: the Guilty always have one bonus die to roll against Innocents. I am considering making this the only benefit they recieve, but it does seem pretty skimpy.
Guilt should
: Make you badass. Be useful. Be dangerous.
Repentance can be spent for...stuff. Haven't quite figured out what that is, but for the moment, I'm allowing it to be spent for Ties. A Tie causes an injury to both the individuals involved in a roll, and it cannot be regulated elsewhere with Fallout, but I'm not certain this is a thematically appropriate benefit. Originally, it could be expended to ignore injuries.
Repentance should
: Be less useful than Guilt, at first; become more useful as you gain more.
Innocence is supposed to be something you should strive to keep the whole game if you have it, because hanging on to it should be rare. The game should force you to make choices about staying Innocent or becoming Guilty in order to survive. I have nothing that makes those two things click together.
Innocence should
: Be less useful than Guilt. Provide a benefit no one else can get.
And that's where I'm at right now. Thoughts, suggestions, useless sniggering?

Scenario design, or more jargon-y, Situation, is what you need to concentrate on now.
You need to be answering the question, "What do the characters do?"
Once you have a solid concept for that, then all sorts of feedback will occur in your brain and the answers to those questions will seem obvious.
Best, Ron

Unlike a number of my other abortive designs, I've known that from the get-go: the characters get dropped off in various super-lethal hot zones full of environmental and biological hazards and attempt to survive long enough to complete their mission while quite probably shooting at each other. There's a number of "color" pieces in the current write-up that are all about what is expected to happen in the game; the movies "Alien" and "Aliens" are primers for the game regarding "what kind of things the characters do", along with a couple of inspiring episodes of "Star Trek: the Next Generation" whose names I don't know.

Ron...you bastard...
See, despite knowing what my game was about, Ron made me go back and look at it again, and look at my mechanics in light of that. He even made me think about changing the Guilt/Innocence thing into a purely social relationship mechanic, and thinking about that made me weep and bang my head against the desk for a bit (because it was a good idea that just didn't work, leaving me stuck again), but despite the agony, something productive arose out of all this. This is why one should always think about whatever design advice this man gives you. This is also why he is a bastard.
So, what's do the characters do and how do (or DO?) these mechanics specifically help implement that?
You can see what they are supposed to do above, and you can see what I wanted the mechanics to do above that. I threw them together into the blender as advised and realized how I could make Guilt and Innocence breed intra-party conflict while making the Guilty both tough and the universe's punching bags.
Here's what I came up with:
Guilt has returned to its design roots and is now tracked as a seperate variable. Guilty and Repentant characters both retain Guilt, only the Innocent are free of it. It starts at either 1 or 0, and it goes up but never goes down.
Each point of Guilt you earn (from performing an Act of Guilt) gives Repentant and Innocent characters an extra die they can add to any rolls against you. The Guilty cannot use another character's pool of Guilt against them.
The Repentant can only use a number of their opponent's Guilt dice equal to the amount of Repentance (earned by performing Acts of Innocence) they have.
The Innocent can use all the Guilt another character has.
Additionally, the Guilty are able to shift all injuries into Fallout when they Increase the Stakes, as long as they have skill points left to do it.
Repentant characters are also able to do this when they Increase the Stakes, but may only shift as many points of injury to Fallout as they have of Repentance.
Innocent characters cannot shift any points to Fallout, though they may still Increase the Stakes.
I'm not sure if I am entirely happy with the mechanics for Innocents -- I worry they might too swiftly end up tenderized -- but I have a workable dynamic right now, and it should be playtested before I try to tweak it any further based on what I think might happen rather than what does actually happen in a game.
I am now moving on to concretizing the rules for Equipment (and attendant the Technology resource I had to add to cover that -- thank you InSpectres!) and Environment. However, I do want to ask before I do that: does anyone have any questions about the above rules, or see any absolute glaring errors I happen to have missed in the implementation?

Here's an observation: the rules you just laid out for Guilt, Repentance and Innocence leave the Innocent at a disadvantage, as you mention. The Innocent get chewed up. Guilt is a quick way to get power, but it's only powerful in the short term. The most powerful position, then, is Repentance. The Repentant are realistic. They've crossed over the line in the past, and they know they can cross again, but they choose not to, right now.
So, before you do something to fix Innocence, you might want to consider: do the rules as they now stand make a statement that you'd agree with?

Yep. What you're saying is all intentionally there.
And if you're seeing what I wanted the mechanics present, then I'm in a good spot. Excellent.
Also note, there is more to this than just the mechanics. There are social/personal level player-things that may come into play as well. That is, someone may choose to try to maintain Innocence regardless of the mechanical benefits just over the corner over there. That, to me, is a Big Fucking Deal player-statement.
I should mention, however, a piece of the puzzle that is not apparent from the above, but which makes a big difference in what you do in play: as before, recrossing the line -- that is, a die-hard Repentant comitting an Act of Guilt -- is mechanically a Big Deal, with capitalized letters and everything. Doing so erases all the Repentance you have earned and gives others more Guilt to use against you. Remember, Guilt never goes away. What all that means is
low Repentance characters are actually worse-off than Innocents
I fully expect some people may try and game the system on that line between Repentant and Guilty, and I have no problem with that. But I also expect that once you're more than a few points in -- moral issues aside -- dropping all that Repentance just to do something you feel is necessary becomes a much harder choice. When that choice comes up and someone says, "Screw it. I shoot the fucker in the head" or "Crap, I can't survive this! I...I call for Fallout on those Bystanders."
That should be a "holy crap" moment at the table.
Like I said, I'm in a good place with them right now if you're seeing what's in my head regarding play when I show the mechanics to you. Thanks for the feedback, John!
Just so no one gets confused, and as a general statement (
as a specific response to you, John): what I am saying with the mechanics is not what I personally believe about morality or how I think the universe at large actually works or should work regarding these issues, and whether I agree with the statement being made by them is besides the point. I'm using the mechanics to set up specific sorts of scenarios and situations between particular sorts of people; the mechanics are there to make things interesting, not to represent any quantative measure of reality or cause-effect. They are flash-points for creating and enabling meaningful conflict.
My notes above do not make this option clear. I have said the Innocent can not move injuries into Fallout; I should make note that they CAN TOO, at least they can with Bystanders (which may include other players). They just become one of the Guilty by doing so. It's a choice.

Officially, London Mayor Boris Johnson is in Israel on a trade mission to boost business and technology partnerships. But he's also having a ton of fun.
"Both London and Tel Aviv share the values of innovation and tolerance, and it is no surprise that so many tech startups choose Tel Aviv as their home. We look forward to working together to enhance both of our tech communities," Johnson said.

The London mayor was accompanied by 15 London tech firm representatives on his three-day tour here, and got to ring the opening bell at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

He scooted around the streets of Tel Aviv on an Inu, a foldable two-wheeled electric and battery-operated scooter made by Haifa company Green Ride. Watch him in this video by Ayelet Noff, head of Blonde 2.0 public-relations firm.
Johnson joined Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai for a bike ride – on the city's rentable Tel-O-Fun bikes — along Rothschild Boulevard, the city's most famous startup thoroughfare.
Actually, a photographer trying to capture the moment ended up creating the moment when he tripped and fell just as Johnson and Huldai were passing by. Caught on video, Johnson can be heard asking Huldai if the photographer was okay.
Johnson definitely played here but also took matters seriously.
He said a trade embargo on Israel would be "completely crazy" and noted that only "corduroy-jacketed, snaggletoothed, lefty academics" in the UK support such a notion.
"London is the natural tech partner for Israeli firms looking to expand," Johnson declared. "With access to a world-class talent pool and a booming digital economy, it is no surprise that Israeli tech companies are making London their home and choosing the London Stock Exchange as their international market for expansion."
Johnson met with former president Shimon Peres and with current President Reuven Rivlin, laid a wreath at Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem and also planned to visit Ramallah before heading back to London.

This isn't Johnson's first visit to Tel Aviv. In his last visit around 10 years ago, he recalls how he ended up dancing on tables, according to an article in the British newspaper, The Guardian, on Monday.
"It was such a riotous occasion," he said. "That I am afraid we ended up dancing on the tables and singing karaoke and generally misbehaving… but I can say whatever took place that evening was entirely kosher."

The Department of Taxation's Criminal Investigations Division is
comprised of sworn police officers and support staff who enforce the criminal
provisions of Ohio tax laws.
The Criminal Investigations Division came into existence in 1971,
when it was organized primarily to combat cigarette smuggling and organized
efforts to skirt Ohio's tax laws. Since that time, the Division has grown
in size and responsibility. The Criminal Investigations Division now
enforces many of the taxes administered by the Department, including cigarette
and other tobacco products taxes, motor fuel tax, income tax, employer
withholding taxes and the sales and use tax.
In 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014 and again in 2017, the Criminal
Investigations Division achieved accreditation from the Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc. (CALEA). In 2008, the
Division attained flagship status and was recognized as among the top one-third
of accredited agencies in the United States. The most recent award,
Accreditation with Excellence, was received in July 2017.
The Criminal Investigations Division has been certified by the
Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board since 2016.
The Criminal Investigations Division is the only revenue-type
division in the world to achieve this distinction. The accreditation means
the Division has met stringent guidelines related to policies and procedures
governing the operation of a law-enforcement agency. While the Criminal
Investigations Division is a support branch of the Department of Taxation, it
also generates revenue for State government.
Since 2012, the Criminal Investigations Division's efforts brought
in over $57
million dollars. This is revenue that
would have been uncollected, unreported, or under-reported if not for our
