Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) woodpeckers were hot in San Francisco back in the day, back when they were getting attention from former City Lights Luminary and craigslist founder Craig Newmark, and the SFWeekly.
Here's a female spotted back in aught-nine at the "Blair Witchy" Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve on University of California land above UCSF. Maybe she was the life partner of the male Craig used to see in his backyard located lower down the hill? Could have been.
Work it, GF!

Love your polka dots, little Flicker.
Now if you want to say that now-famous nonlawyer Ivory Madison was trained as an attorney, well, that would be O.K., I s'pose, but you can't allege, as some have, recently, that she's a "trained attorney."
No, no, no, no, no.*
Cause, you see, that goes too far.
OTOH, you can say that certain people thought IM was an attorney, for good reason, actually, and acted accordingly.
You could say that.
Imagine you're a high school football player who went to a Catholic church to confess to sexual contact with a 15-year-old only to find out that the priest you thought you were talking to was actually Ashton Kutcher punking you. Would your mouthpiece start saying how evidence of your privileged communication should be thrown out of court because Ashton is a "trained priest?"
I doubt it.
But there are other good arguments to make, right?
Having said that, there's nothing out there to suggest that Ivory acted improperly in the case at hand.
Did she "struggle" with the issues? Perhaps, but so have others before her…
Let's hope this is the final Ivory Madison is not an attorney post you'll have to read.
Oh, so it turns out Ivory Madison a merely a "law school graduate."
NTTAWWT. Not at all.
But when you hold yourself out as a "nonpracticing lawyer," well, that can create confusion, non?

I think I'll file this one under alpha female self-puffery, and that will that be that.
All right, GASNM.

This is just my WAG.*
Oh, Meet London Breed, courtesy of the Western Edition.
And Meet London Breed, through her own words, courtesy of the Twitter.
Now, let's let Lee Hubbard of the Oakland Post Online take over:
"Among those reportedly interested in the District 5 seat are Julian Davis, president of the board of Booker T. Washington Community Service Center; Gabriel Haaland, political director of SEIU Local 1021; Phil Ginsburg, Recreation and Park Department Director; and Michael O'Connor, the co-owner of the Independent Music Hall. Breed, who directs the African American Cultural Center on Fulton Street, has expressed interest in the position. She has a large segment of the Black activist community behind her, pushing Mayor Lee to appoint her as supervisor. "London is a woman who is definitely qualified to sit in that seat," said Bridgette LeBlanc, with Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA). 'She is a native San Franciscan who was raised and works in the community. She is a leader who is electable, and she can build bridges.'"
OMG, it's LB with the POTUS!
Here are the reasons:
1. She is the choice of Willie Brown.
2. She is the choice of Willie Brown. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but why should Chinatown power broker Rose Pak have any say in D5, which, historically, anyway, is/was, along with D10, an "African-American district?"
3. She is the choice of Willie Brown and she has waaaaaaaaay less baggage than recent mayoral appointee Mohammed Nuru. I mean, how could she have as many closet skeletons as he? So, he makes the cut and she doesn't – would that make sense?
4. She is the choice of Willie Brown and as a matter of fact, about four years ago, Willie the Sorting Hat actually tried to place London into the Assembly(!), or into the Tri-Wizard Tournament or somewhere. That seemed a stretch at the time, but appointing LB as Supe doesn't seem a stretch at all right here and right now.
5. She is a 2008 "graduate" of Emerge California, which encourages women to run for elective office. And when I say "encourages," I mean pressures. (Signing up for Emerge** is kind of like saying that you plan on running for office (or higher office) sooner rather than later.) Anyway, the questions Mayor Ed Lee's people would have for London concern her commitment for becoming and maintaining her position as Supervisor, right? So, London, if not now, when?
6. She is the Worst Case Scenario for San Francisco's progressives, IMO. She would be a train wreck for them, actually. So as far as Ed Lee's political faction is concerned, picking anybody else would be an unnecessary risk.
7. She is the choice of the Internet, más o menos.
Those are the reasons – the strongest are #1 and #6.
So, if I know my Ed Lee, London Breed will be the appointee.
Bank on it.
As that Omar Khalif guy recently said:
"Ed Lee is going to pull a G. Newsom n D5 appointment. Keep yo eye on my sister."
*Which means I've figured this out on my own, unlike say, a year and a half ago when I got a phone call telling me the game plan about how Mark Farrell was going to win in District 2, which he did.
**And pay your money, but, srsly, it's a pretty sweet deal, if you're a woman planning on running for office soon, and if you're not a Repub or a Green, and if you're fortunate enough to get picked.

Molly was adopted in January of 2006. She quickly adapted to the ways of a shop cat. She enjoyed the attention and liked the freedom to roam around the shop, and most importantly keep a watchful eye on the front door.
On day in late March, Peter was getting ready to head home from a Sunday of work. Easter was around the corner so the second busy season was rolling in. As always he left food out for Molly and whistled for her. She did not appear, which sometimes did happen. She had probably made herself nice and cozy somewhere and did not want to be disturbed. She was after all a princess. It wasn't until the Monday afternoon, that Peter realized Molly might in fact have wandered off. He asked neighbors if they had seen her, but no one had. It wasn't until he whistled outside that he heard a faint meow. He then realized the sound was coming from between the building of 634 Hudson Street, and the building next door. He called the fire department that came and told him that unfortunately there was nothing they could do. They suggested coaxing her out with some open cans of food, but other than that, they were at a loss.
Within days "Molly the Cat" became headline news. Irene was on a trip to Moscow and heard about her shop cat on CNN! Everyone from Animal Care and Control to Pet Psychics were lending a hand hoping to rescue Molly.
It was 12 days later, on a Friday night at 11:00pm that she was finally freed. Kevin Clifford and Mike Pastore were Molly's rescuers. Kevin had been working on the water tunnels and kindly donated his time, and Mike came from Animal Care and Control. She had managed to get lodged up high by the ceiling of the shop about 15 feet from the front of the building. One can only assume that she survived on rodents. She was frazzled, and overwhelmed by the media and paparazzi that were eagerly waiting outside the shop. Her rescue was even announced at a home Met game!! For the next few days Molly appeared on Regis and Kelly, Good Day New York and was featured in most NY papers, including The Villager.
April 14th 2011 will mark 5 years since Molly's rescue. She is back safely inside the shop and knows not to go near the split between the buildings!! She enjoys napping and is back to keeping a watchful eye on things around Hudson Street. Ironically, after all the hysteria she caused, Molly prefers the "low key" lifestyle, often hiding when visited by people who come to see her from all over the world!

Thanks for the tips. I do plan to do some highpoints of some sort, whether they be prominence-based, range-based, or state-based. But seeing new interesting places is the priority.
I will study the maps more. Speaking of, I really need to order some Forest Service maps, and potentially, Trails Illustrated maps in order to plan better. Any other maps anybody can suggest would be helpful.

If you need to learn how to read lips -- for example, if you experienced a sudden loss of hearing -- you can seek out in-person training in lipreading or you may turn to commercial lipreading software. Here's an overview of some of the more popular lipreading programs:

Sensimetrics produces the program Seeing and Hearing Speech. The company promotes its software as suitable for either professional instruction, or independent self-study. To help people learn to read lips, the software provides three different learning environments: with and without sound or visual cues. Learners are also taught how to identify which words are being stressed in speech. The program organizes speech into four categories: vowels, consonants, stress, and everyday communication. To further enhance learning, users can control the speed of the speech on the screen. Since lipreading can be challenging in background noise, users can train themselves to understand speech in a variety of background noises, such as traffic. When they feel ready, learners can test themselves, and store their test results.

Hearing Visions is another lipreading software company. Their product is "I See What You Say." The description on their website says the product will help people learn to read lips when either phrases or words are spoken. Different environments are offered for learning. The site has photos depicting challenging situations in which a person's lips are in hard-to-read position, such as biting the lips or not opening the lips much. On YouTube, the company is HearingVisions1, and offers a sample video.

A doctor and researcher in Australia, Dr. Mary Allen, developed her own program. Dr. Allen had done a thesis on lipreading with the aid of computers. As a result of her research, she developed a software program for self-instruction. She states that this software was tested on 38 late-deafened adults to gauge its effectiveness. In addition, she also offers a video of an actual lipreading competition. Her other products include a package of 33 photo cards depicting the sounds of speech like vowels and consonants and a poster of all the photo cards.

Lipreader is a program available from the United Kingdom through the company David Smith Software. The software uses a graduated approach, starting with letters and sounds and advancing to full sentences. Users can control the speed of the speech. The program demonstrates mouthshapes for vowels and consonants and also has a fingerspelling-only mode for users to learn the British sign language alphabet for these same vowels and consonants. Additional learning modules include asking questions and answers, full passages, and a comparison mode for learning the differences between very similar mouthshapes. (Can you tell the difference between "d" and "z" through lipreading alone?) To make learning more fun, the program also has puzzles and allows users to add their own words, sentences, and passages. The program's creator, David Smith, has Meniere's disease, which can cause hearing loss.

Speechreading Laboratory, Inc. produces the program Read My Lips. The creator is Robert L. Russell, Ph.D. Instead of letters, the program begins with words before advancing to sentences and phrases. There is no sound because the creators believe that withholding sound will force students to learn better; instead, people try to guess what is said before the program gives the answer via a caption. Learners get practice trying to understand almost 40 people of all ages, including men with mustaches (it is very challenging to lipread someone with a mustache). The program covers lipreading in various settings such as eating at the breakfast table.

Older Adults vs Younger Adults

How effective is learning to read lips using software? It may depend on the age of the lipreading student. Researchers at Washington University sought to verify that lipreading ability apparently declines with age. They evaluated the lipreading ability of 43 young adults (average age about 20) and 38 older people (average age 76 years). Study participants had to watch, without sound, a female speaker saying sentences. Then they had to select (from a list) a sentence they thought the speaker was saying. In addition, they had to select words to fill in blanks in the sentences. The results showed that younger adults had much better lipreading scores. For instance, younger adults correctly lipread between 11 and 72% of the time, compared to between 1 and 56% of the time for older adults. Natural vs. Taught Lipreading examines whether lipreading is something that is natural, or if it is a skill that can be taught.

Animation &Books &Commentary 30 Dec 2005 07:53 am
And my #1 bit of animation inspiration from the past year is an oldie but goodie:
Twenty-six years ago, at the third animation festival in Ottawa, I was struck between the eyes by Yuri Norstein's brilliant masterwork, Tale of Tales. I had to own it, and it took me about two years to locate a 16mm print (this was before the ease of vhs tapes and certainly long before dvd's.) I watched that film again and again and again. When I was able to get a vhs copy, I got one, with subtitles translating the dialogue I'd already understood on an emotional level. Now that the dvd is available I have one of them.
(Note: the vhs tape had all of Norstein's work on one tape. Now Tale of Tales is on one dvd Masters of Russian Animation: vol 2, and all of his other films are on vol 3.)
It took a couple of months for me to learn about Clare Kitson's book, Yuri Norstein and Tale of Tales: An Animator's Journey. Now I have that, and I've just started reading. With my reading, I'm watching this genius of an animator's films again.
I have had a love affair with this film and other work by Mr. Norstein, and I have pulled so much inspiration from it that I can't begin to articulate it. He's a brilliant artist of a film maker, and I recommend his films to anyone interested in animation.
Admittedly, it's an acquired taste, but it's the real thing. The story is not told in a linear way, and some of the film is purposefully slow. Be patient; watch it again. The animation is brilliant, the design is exquisite, the story is complex and emotional and sophisticated. John Hubley's work led to Mr. Norstein, and the tree bore fruit.
I can't wait to see how the next apple will fall.

Thanks so much for this link. I never knew there was a book about Norstein. He is my absolute favorite. I saw a tiny clip of his film "the overcoat" on a documentary on PBS called "The face of Russia" When that clip played I nearly fell out of my chair. It was less then a minute long but it was so beautiful I never forgot it.
Then years later, one of my teachers (Howard Beckerman) showed us the whole VHS tape and announced that Norstein was coming to visit SVA. He animated right in front of us and using a translator told us about his life, how he works, ect. It was amazing.

Buying classic diesel cars is not something most people first think of regarding classics. Gasoline cars are usually the first vehicle that comes to mind, but, believe it or not, there are classic diesel cars out there with good reputations. Some of the stalwart car makers have produced some superbly reliable classics over the years.
Now owned and made by Ford, the Jaguar is probably one of the more prominent names in the history of car making. Jaguar XJ series is well known as a classic car, which attracts middle income to the rich and famous. Jaguar X series have not diminished in price over the years, either. Even an old diesel car will cost you well into the thousands in terms of money.
The Swedish company has been renowned for reliability for many years. Their technology and safety are second to none, and Volvo have set the standard for many other car makers. Volvo diesels are still readily available, although most will be in manual transmission. There will be auto-diesels available, but they are pretty thin on the ground.
Another benchmark company when it comes to car production. Mercedes has an excellent reputation for classic and stylish cars. Their diesel and turbo diesel models are a force to be reckoned with. And again, like Jaguar, a Mercedes will still set you back a few thousand if you are looking for a reliable classic diesel car.
Everyone recognizes Volkswagens because of their clearly defined shape, style and badge. Many Volkswagens have become classics over the years, and owing to their extreme reliability, their reputation has never faltered. Buying a classic diesel Passat would get you a great return for your money, but always beware of cars with extremely high mileage.

Zaisan memorial was erected by the Russian's to commemorate those killed in the second world war between Russia and Germany and Mongolia and Japan and the ensuing peace between these countries. And the unknown soliers who died during other various wars.
Many Mongolians do not know about the war in Europe and have little understanding of the importance of remembrance day for westerners. The monument is visited regularly throughout the year by worshipping Mongolians and foreigners. The monument is a popular day out during public holidays and the summer months.
The view from the top can be pretty breath taking on a clear day and the sky at night can be quite magical. The Memorial stands on a hill overlooking the city and consists of a circular mosaic depicting the armistice between the four countries. The outer skin and the statue are made from high quality Russian concrete, at the foot of the hill there is a very large statue of Buddha popular with worshippers and visitors to the country. There are approximately 187 steps to the top of the monument, which may not seem too great but it's steeper than it looks, so take some electrolytes with you!

Researchers in the UK have discovered a gene which may stop HIV spreading after it enters the body.
A study by King's College London found the gene MX2 could be a new target for effective, less toxic treatments to combat the virus.
The scientists described the findings as "extremely exciting" but campaigners said that while it was promising work, much more research was needed to develop treatments.
Figures show that hundreds of cases of HIV continue to be diagnosed each year in Scotland.
Health Protection Scotland said 349 cases were diagnosed in 2012, and 177 so far this year.
More than 4,500 HIV-infected patients are thought to live in Scotland, but concerns remain that many people with the virus remain undiagnosed. While improved treatments have dramatically improved long-term survival, the search has continued to find drugs with fewer side-effects.
The latest study, published in the journal Nature, is the first to identify a role for the human MX2 gene in inhibiting the spread of HIV.
Researchers said the gene could be used in treatments which "mobilised" the body's natural defences against the virus. The scientists, led by Dr Caroline Goujon and Professor Mike Malim at the department of infectious diseases, carried out experiments on human cells in the lab, introducing the virus to two different sets of cells and observing the effects.
In one group of cells, the MX2 gene was expressed or "switched on", while in the other set it was not, or "silenced", to stop it working. The scientists saw that in the cells where MX2 was silenced, the virus replicated and spread. But in the cells where the MX2 gene was switched on, the virus was not able to replicate and new viruses were not produced.
Professor Malim said: "This is an extremely exciting finding which advances our understanding of how HIV virus interacts with the immune system and opens up opportunities to develop new therapies to treat the disease. Until now, we knew very little about the MX2 gene, but now we recognise both its potent anti-viral function and a key point of vulnerability in the lifecycle of HIV."
Prof Malim said developing drugs to stimulate the body's natural defences was a very important approach because they would be triggering a natural process and therefore would not have the problem of drug resistance.
"There are two possible routes – it may be possible to develop either a molecule that mimics the role of MX2 or a drug which activates the gene's natural capabilities," he said.
"Although people with HIV are living longer, healthier lives with the virus thanks to current, effective treatments, they can often be toxic for the body and drug resistance can become an issue with long-term use.
"It is important to continue to find new ways of mobilising the body's natural defence systems and this gene appears to be a key player in establishing viral control in people with HIV."
Jason Warriner, clinical director at the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "Gene therapy is a promising new avenue that might one day help people manage HIV without daily medication. However, it's still very early days.
"Fortunately, existing treatments are already very good."

Power Struggle – Understanding SA's nuclear and renewable energy options
To encourage a broad understanding of comparisons between nuclear and renewable energy generation options, it is important to review the basics.
The key difference between nuclear power and renewable energy options is that nuclear uses highly concentrated energy, the release of which must be extremely carefully managed. Renewable energy, on the other hand, is dispersed and requires infrastructure to collect. This has led to a widespread perception that renewable energy is insufficient to support industrialised society, regardless of the actual extent of the resource potential, which far exceeds what humans could use. A study of the availability of solar and wind resources in South Africa by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) shows how the country could supply double its current electricity use from wind and solar power.
A difference that receives a lot of attention is that renewable resources are variable, with availability at any particular time depending on the weather, while a nuclear power plant is 'inflexible', being designed to run continuously.
System value
To understand the relative merits of generation options for grid-based supply one needs to consider the system value of the power supply. A key aspect of the system value of a new power plant is the extent to which it fills 'gaps' in the existing supply system, such as those that arise from peaks in demand – relatively short periods when total system use is highest. Since there are losses in electricity transmission (at least 10% within the South African system), plant location close to demand is also a factor in system value. In a system dominated by heavily polluting coal-fired plants, there is also system value, or national benefit, in reducing the negative impacts of the electricity supply system.
The South African electricity system already includes a large amount of pumped-storage capacity, which was developed as a way of using 'baseload supply' (continuous generation by large-scale nuclear or coal-fired plant) when it is surplus to system requirements. The subsequent hydropower generation can be scheduled to meet peak demand.
Optimal use of freely-available but variable solar and wind resources requires an electricity system that includes flexible generation and/or storage capacity to ensure supply meets demand. Research by the CSIR uses meteorological data of resource availability over a three-year period to model an electricity system with the same load profile (scale and timing of demand highs and lows) as today, but double the output, in which 75% of supply is from variable renewable resources with a broad geographical spread. The flexible generation providing the balance can be supplied from various sources –natural gas being the usual fall-back – that could be made up of concentrated solar power with thermal storage and OCGT burning biogas.
One characteristic of wind and solar PV technologies is that they can be deployed quickly, often within a year, and at any scale, while nuclear project lead times are upwards of eight years at best.
The cost of electricity generation depends not only on the costs of plant construction, maintenance and operation, including fuel where applicable, but also the project financing arrangements, including the terms of the power purchase agreement with the system operator, which may include local content and other requirements. The cheapest electricity on offer in South Africa is from solar PV and wind plant (costs vary somewhat as resources vary by location) and the second-cheapest is on offer from proposed independent coal-fired plant (when externalised costs such as pollution are ignored).
The cost of new nuclear power in SA remains speculative, but even accepting the industry's own assumptions for costs levelised over a long plant life, they are expected to be almost double the cost of using the best renewable resources.
Environmental impacts
All electricity supply options involve some environmental impacts, even when best practice in materials handling and recycling is followed. Impacts are not borne equally by all of society – some are more systemic than technology-specific, such as from steel production, and some are quite subjective, such as visual impact.
Using controlled nuclear reactions involves a risk that even the most sophisticated control and back-up mechanisms may fail, either as a result of human error, as was the case at Chernobyl, or due to extreme natural events, as was the case with Fukushima. There are safety issues with nuclear power that have no parallel in renewables. The impacts of the increase in radiation from routine nuclear operations are highly contested, as is the cumulative extent of routine emissions and unintended releases (incidents, rather than accidents).
When the whole nuclear fuel cycle (not just the power plant) is considered, nuclear compares favourably only with fossil fuels in most environmental and worker health and safety assessments. Wind and solar at large scale are more spread out and conspicuous than uranium mines, fuel fabrication facilities, power plants and radioactive waste facilities, but the cumulative ecological impacts are more manageable and without calamitous accident risk. The life-cycle carbon footprint of wind and solar PV is considerably less than that of nuclear power (less than half in good resource conditions), while that of concentrated solar power looks similar to nuclear, though it is an immature technology.
Employment potential
In practice, employment impacts within the energy sector are a product of several factors, including project or programme design and the rate of return on capital required by investors, but particularly the degree of localisation of associated manufacturing, which is in part a product of the scale of national commitment to deployment of a particular technology.
Global trends show positive employment impacts of increasing the share of renewable energy in electricity supply, even when most projects are undertaken by the private sector.
The nuclear industry is promising a high level of localisation, largely conditional on procurement of multiple units, as well as trickle-down benefits from highly-skilled jobs, but does not offer the opportunities of decentralised development. Embedded solar PV generation – feeding into the distribution grid from rooftops – will create even more jobs than utility-scale deployment and avoided transmission losses will somewhat off-set the higher cost. The greatest employment potential is in the sustainable use of biomass, but this may be better applied to liquid fuel production.
The small units of renewable energy technologies make them most amenable to social ownership, such as through cooperatives, while the partial use of land can provide revenue in the most impoverished areas. Probably the greatest benefit of choosing renewable energy for grid-based supply would be in the knock-on benefits of developing local industries producing technologies with declining costs that can also be applied to extending access to electricity to the three million South African households that currently have none.

Selectmen extend licenses in Holliston
Selectmen last week extended the food and alcohol licenses for Casey's Crossing, 81 Railroad St., saying the owner had met with town officials and resolved building and fire code concerns.
Selectmen also extended the used car sales license for Holliston Auto Village, 75 Central St., but only through March 31. Town Administrator Paul LeBeau said the car dealership has complied with an order to stop parking vehicles in a municipal parking lot.
The owner and the town are now trying to come to an agreement that will allow the business to park a limited number of vehicles along the edge of town property, LeBeau said.

UC Berkeley doctor sued over patient's death
Updated 4:56 pm, Saturday, June 30, 2012
A former UC Berkeley doctor charged with sexually assaulting patients has been named in a civil suit filed by the parents of an alumnus who say he committed suicide in Southern California because he had been molested by the physician.
Elgin Stafford, 23, who attended UC Berkeley before attending graduate school at the University of Southern California, was found floating in the Dominguez Channel in Carson (Los Angeles County) on March 29.
The cause of his death hasn't been determined, but his family said in a suit filed Friday in Alameda County Superior Court that Stafford had killed himself as a result of being "repeatedly sexually violated and abused" by Dr. Robert Kevess while being treated for diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease in 2010.

Kevess subjected Stafford to both physical and "psychologically intimate examinations" and "spent a great deal of time continuously exploring decedent's family history, romantic and sexual relationships, self-esteem and body issues and on and on," the suit said. "Kevess expertly utilized the transference phenomenon to convince decedent that he could trust him."
Kevess used that trust to sexually assault him, under the guise that what was being done were "normal procedures," said the suit, which seeks unspecified damages and names Kevess and the UC regents as defendants.
Kevess' attorney, Robert Beles said, "Any of the alleged conduct against Dr. Kevess in relation to this young man in no way proximately caused any of his psychological problems or in any way caused his death. We have great sympathy for the Stafford family."
A UC spokesman declined to comment Saturday.
Stafford's mother, Annie Stafford, said Saturday, "He took advantage of my son. He needs to be brought to justice."
She said her son was a "gentle giant" who couldn't cope with what had happened to him. "He was ashamed, and this thing ate him up."
She said her son had a panic attack March 20 and ran out of the house.
Kevess has pleaded not guilty to 19 felony charges alleging that he sexually assaulted six male patients since 2006. The alleged victims weren't identified, and Beles said he believed Stafford wasn't among them. Beles said some of the incidents giving rise to the criminal charge involved activity between consenting adults.
Kevess resigned last year from the university, where he had served as a primary care physician since 1989. He has accepted an interim suspension of his medical license, Beles said.

Ryan Dungey grabs second overall and Brett Metcalfe takes fifth in the first event of the season
Photographer: Jake Klingensmith
SACRAMENTO, CA – Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki showed off the dominance of their riders and the Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z450 in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship season opener at the 43rd Annual Rockstar Energy Hangtown National. Ryan Dungey rode strong all day, scoring the win in the first moto and backing that up with a solid second-place podium finish in the second. Teammate Brett Metcalfe had a solid day as well, with two fifth-place finishes in his first race since an injury sidelined him in March.
Dungey and his RM-Z were strong from the get go, with two solid practices that gave him the eighth gate pick for moto one. A great start put Dungey near the front, just behind teammate Metcalfe. He worked his Suzuki into second in lap two and made a charge for the lead, which he was able to grab in lap six. Dungey powered his RM-Z450 across the finish for the first 450 moto win of the year. In moto two, Dungey had another strong start, which put him in second place, and he was able to pass for the lead in lap six. Dungey fell back to second in lap eight and battled for the lead for the remaining laps but was unable to make the pass and finished second. His one-two moto finishes gave him a second-place overall for the day. Dungey is tied for the lead in the season points going into next weekend's event in Texas.
"Overall, our day was really good,†said Dungey. "We had a good, strong setup on my Suzuki from practice and my Rockstar Makita Suzuki team made just a few adjustments, which made it even better for the two motos. I got good starts today, which was very helpful. I was able to get out in front and pull away for the win in the first moto, which was a good start to the season. I wasn't able to get the job done in the second moto and ended up in second for the moto and second on the day. It's a really good solid start for the season. There's a lot of motos and a lot of racing. We'll keep moving forward and building from here and we'll be good.â€Â
Teammate Metcalfe had a great first day back on his RM-Z and started by scoring the seventh fastest lap in practice. In moto one, The Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider blasted his Suzuki out of the gate and into the front. Metcalfe ran in second for the first two laps before falling back and finishing fifth. Metcalfe had a solid start in moto two and rode strong to move from tenth to eventually cross the line with another fifth-place finish. His five-five moto finishes gave him fifth overall for the day.
Photographer: Jake Klingensmith
"It was really awesome today,†said Metcalfe. "It's good to be back with my Rockstar Makita Suzuki team after being out injured for a while. My Yoshimura-equipped RM-Z was unreal this weekend. It is good to be back racing and I really like the outdoors, so that's a plus for me. I wanted to get a good start to the season and I'm really happy with this five-five and fifth overall finish. Coming away, we got a good load of information and learned a lot that will help give me a little more speed out there by making me more comfortable, and then I'll be able to be more aggressive. I'm really looking forward to the next round in Texas so I can build on this result.â€Â
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki team's next event is the second round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday, May 28th, at the Rockstar Energy Freestone National in Wortham, TX.

Big, dense, and soft, that's just what I need in a buffer brush.
And it's local! You can get this beautiful XL Buffer Brush from EllanaMinerals.com. They deliver within 1-2 days for a shipping fee of Php50.00 within Metro Manila. I got this for Php750.00 plus Php50.00 that's Php800!
Not bad at all for the quality. It's extremely soft, I have to confirm if it's made of synthetic or natural bristles.
If you remember that certain MAC and Becca brushes go for almost Php2000.00 this turns out to be an extremely good deal. I like that it's short but fat and tightly put together. It would be good if you kept this with a brush guard so it doesn't lose its dome shape.
I love how super soft it feels and I certainly got more value than I expected from Ellana's catalog photo online. I got this for applying my personal supply of loose mineral Perfect blend foundation. This all-over face brush will also work nicely with finishing powders, blushes, bronzers, dry highlighters. It's a chubby and cute one and it's by Ellana Minerals. 🙂 I want to save up for the flat top baby kabuki brush which would be good for applying cream base foundations and buffing that out to a clean finish.

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, today made the following statement on the recent rocket attacks against Israel by Hamas. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"The rocket attacks launched against Israel by Hamas in the past two days are a devastating reminder of the threats posed to Israel in its own backyard, and why close U.S.-Israel security cooperation and assistance is critical.
"Many of these rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. While the Administration had proposed cutting funding for the Iron Dome this year, Congress stepped in to restore the funding for this vital defense system. We remain firmly in Israel's corner against the number of threats it faces from extremists and their state-sponsors, and will continue to support a wide range of security assistance to our friend and ally.
"Congress remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of Israel and Israelis. We will continue to ensure that Israel has the ability to protect its citizens against these assaults by violent extremists."

Hello, i started playing (again) half life 1
I never got through mister gonarch, I had this time when he goes underneath a cave and you will slide up to a pit and leave you there.
somehow I couldnt get past through that, did I do something wrong in the first place? also, how can I go back another level if I want to go back into the time when the portal was just about to be opened?
sorry if this is not posted in the right section.

Google Places has greatly expanded the categories for enterprises outside the US by adding over a 1,000 new ones. This was announced by Jade Wang, a business community manager with Google.
The search engine giant had been working for some time to widen the available categories globally based on merchant feedback. They have now added these categories to the Places dashboard. The categories are translated to every language Google supports.
Previously, such a diverse number of categories were available only to the US businesses. For instance, if a businessperson planning a trip to France searches from the US, they will probably be using English, seeing the categories of French businesses in English. However, businesses in France are likely to set French while using Places. This means the system has to translate and associate the right category. This can soon become very complicated.
This is the first step of many that Google intends to take to improve Places for businesses internationally.Google Places International Adds Over 1,000 New Categories!,

Eleanor and Park are teenagers from two wildly different backgrounds. Eleanor is trying to cope with a difficult home situation, while Park struggles with his biracial identity. Enemies at first, they slowly bond over a shared seat on the bus and a passion for comic books and mix tapes (it's 1986). What starts out as a tentative friendship quickly turns into love, and they face a series of challenges that threaten to break them apart.
Ginny Blackstone is a shy seventeen-year-old about to enter her senior year of high school when she receives a packet of envelopes from her "Runaway Aunt Peg," an artist who disappeared from her New York apartment in search of adventures abroad. The envelopes are numbered, and Ginny has to complete the task included in each letter before moving on to the next. The first letter brings her to London, where she meets Richard, her aunt's best friend who works for the world famous Harrod's, and Keith, a former bad-boy turned aspiring playwright. The letters lead her across Europe
If you are looking for a story of love at first sight then you need to read these two books, together. Allyson and Willem meet and have one amazingly glorious day and night in Paris. In the morning Willem is gone. Where is he? Has he just run off, has something happened? In a regular story you would get the answers right away but not here. Allyson makes her way home and goes off to college as expected but none of it matters she doesn't care about school and she keeps wondering what happened to Willem.
In the wake of tragic lovers Marc Antony and Cleopatra's deaths, their twins Selene and Alexander kneel before the new emperor Octavian. In the foreign land of Rome, the siblings learn to navigate the treacherous diplomacies behind the all-too-wide smiles and honeyed lies. As Cleopatra's children, they represent a significant claim to power…when they're together. As new love and opportunities arise to pull Alexander away from Selene, this brave young woman defies tradition and endures stinging rebukes to escape from the decadent trappings of Rome.
Amber lives on a bus with her Mom, who drinks too much, and her very loyal dog Bobby Big Boy. She's homeless and a self-proclaimed freak, but that doesn't deter her unyielding optimism. She finds hope everywhere and along the way she lifts up those around her—from the old folks she visits at the nursing home to her autistic math genius best friend. Life's tragedies keep coming at her and Amber struggles to keep her title as the Princess of Hope. If you're feeling a little grumpy, read this because it'll most likely cheer you up or at least make you smile.
If your name is Katherine, then there's a good chance that Colin will find you attractive. If your name is Katherine and you've dated Colin Singleton, then you've probably dumped him. Colin--a prodigy, but not a genius--has just been dumped by his nineteenth Katherine, so he and his best friend Hassan go on a road trip, but find themselves stuck in a small town in Tennessee. It is there that Colin begins working on a mathematical formula that will predict the outcome of any relationship. If you like math, read this book.
Fourteen-year-old June loves medieval history, Mozart, and fine art. She's not a typical teenager and she doesn't have many friends. Her closest friend is her Uncle Finn. To her, he's the only person who fully understands her. When Finn dies of AIDS, she feels lost and broken. Her mother is keeping secrets about Finn and her sister is mean to her for reasons June doesn't understand. It's also 1987, a time when the disease came with a stigma. Then June strikes up a secret friendship with a man who knew Finn well and perhaps knew him better than anyone else.
Hazel and Augustus share a sense of humor, sarcasm, wit, love, and cancer. And once Hazel shares her favorite book, Augustus shares that too. Both read the novel multiple times, finding it comforting and frustrating—it ends mid-sentence. They love it most because the main character has cancer, but it's not a cancer book, just like Green's novel isn't a cancer book.
Clay Jensen mysteriously receives a package of cassette tapes that contain recordings by Hannah Baker—a girl who recently committed suicide. The tapes outline the thirteen reasons, or people, who drove her to kill herself. Clay is baffled to be on this "list" because he had a crush on Hannah and thought he was always nice to her. As Clay listens to the cassette tapes, he slowly learns how big events and even small events had lead to Hannah's final act and how a seemingly perfect and beautiful girl was struggling underneath her smile.
Delaney Maxwell fell into a semi-frozen lake and was dead for eleven minutes before her best friend Dexter could save her. In those eleven minutes her life was changed forever. She wakes up from a coma six days later with seemingly nothing wrong—but she has a strange new "ability." And this new ability has attracted a new friend, Troy Varga, who knows a thing or two about death. Now her parents think she could be a murderer, her doctors think she's gone crazy, and Dexter, well, he's finally seeing that their friendship could be something more.

Campus at a Glance
Main Campus spans approximately 366 acres on which resides: 26 Residential Facilities 63 Academic and Administration Buildings
Veterans Affairs (VA) Campus has 31 acres with 10 Academic and Administration Buildings.
Overview of Emergency Preparedness
Important information, including emergency preparedness procedures and general safety information, is available to the campus community on the following website:
Please visit this website to familiarize yourself with important preparedness and safety related information. The time to review this information is not during an emergency event. Emergency events can occur at anytime. How well ETSU responds is directly related to how well the university is prepared!
Emergency Notification System
Whenever an emergency poses a direct threat to the campus community, ETSU will activate emergency notification systems to communicate quickly with the entire campus. The system includes an outdoor warning siren system with four large speakers strategically placed on the main campus and on the Veterans Administration Campus; an emergency text messaging service called GoldAlert; an alert message on the ETSU homepage; and public address systems in select university buildings.
To sign up for ETSU's emergency text messaging service, please go to the following website GOLDALERT Emergency Text Messaging and click on the "Register Now" button. You will need to register using your ETSU username and password, and then complete the required information. Your information will never be used for anything other than emergency communication purposes. Family and friends' contact information can be added to your account as well. You will be able to add up to 3 e-mail addresses as well as 3 cell phone numbers.
The emergency notification systems will be used to identify emergencies and provide specific instructions regarding the safety of the campus community. For example, the outdoor siren system, GoldAlert emergency text messaging, email messaging and the homepage alert would be used in the event of a tornado threat to the campus. The sirens are equipped with both siren/tone and voice command capabilities. When the system is activated, a siren/tone will be transmitted, followed by voice instructions.

Automated External Defibrillators (AED's)
In March 2007, East Tennessee State University completed the initial phase of a multiple year program to purchase and place 34 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) throughout the main and outlying campuses to reduce the response time to cardiac arrest victims. Since the initial program, additional AED's have been purchased to continue to assist in response time. This initial phase of the AED program focused on the facilities with the highest occupancy rates. If there is an AED located in a building, there will be an identification sticker on the outside of doors coming into the building. The AED locations are shown on the following link http://healthsafety.etsu.edu/docs/general/AED.pdf .
An AED is a computerized medical device that can be used to treat a victim of cardiac arrest. The AED evaluates a cardiac arrest victim's heart rhythm, determines if shock is needed and delivers an electric shock through the chest wall to the heart. Audible and/or visual prompts guide the user through the process. If an AED is taking from the cabinet, an alarm is sounded and you must have someone call 911.
An AED operator must know how to recognize the signs of sudden cardiac arrest, when to activate the EMS system and how to perform CPR. ETSU have provided classes to over 200 employees. Classes are normally presented during each semester. If you are interested in attending a future AED class or have questions regarding our AED program, please contact Health and Safety @ 9-6028.
Fire Safety
Familiarize yourself with your building's fire and life safety equipment and participate in fire drills:
- Know where the nearest fire alarm pull station is located.
- Know where your nearest building exit is located.
- Know where the nearest fire extinguisher is located.
In the event of a fire, pull the nearest pull station and call Public Safety:
- Evacuate immediately.
- Shutdown hazardous operations as quickly as possible.
- Notify others on your way out.
- Help those needing assistance.
- Use stairways only - do not use elevators.
- Report to the designated assembly area for your building. Please refer to your building's emergency procedures posted inside the main entrances to your building (Example of Posted Emergency Procedures) .
- Do not re-enter the building unless directed by emergency response officials.
Fire Extinguisher Use
What is the first thing you should do if you discover a fire?
You should pull the nearest fire alarm pull station, alert people near you and call 911.
If you are comfortable with the idea of using a fire extinguisher, then you should attempt to put out the fire.
Make sure the fire is confined to a small area and is not spreading.
Be sure you have an unobstructed escape route to which the fire will not spread.
- Pull the pin
- Aim at the base of the fire
- Squeeze the trigger
- Sweep back and forth
Fire Extinguisher Training
The Environmental Health & Safety Office provides hands on training utilizing an Intelligent Training System. Call EH&S (439-6028) for more information on how to participate.
Hazardous Material ReleaseEvacuate
- Leave spill area immediately
- Remove personnel from danger of spill
- Alert other building occupants
- Block area to unnecessary personnel
- Use doors to contain vapors
- Shutdown ventilation systems where possible
- Use hood to exhaust vapors
- Public Safety by dialing 911 or 9-4480
- Facilities Management at 9-7900
- Environmental Health and Safety at 9-6028
Bomb Threat
- Ask caller the following questions:
- When will it explode?
- Where/what type of device?
- What does it look like?
- What is your name?
- Note caller's voice/sounds.
- Notify Public Safety at 911 or 9-4480.
- Notify Public Safety of any unusual items in your area - do not touch them
Tornado SafetyDuring a Tornado Warning:
- Move to a basement, or first floor interior hallway, or restroom or other enclosed small area
- Get under sturdy furniture.
- Stay away from windows.
- If caught outside, crouch in a nearby ditch or close to the ground.
Workplace Violence
- If a person's behavior becomes inappropriate or violent, leave the area if possible and notify Public Safety at 911.
- If you feel you are in imminent danger, dial 911.
- Trust your instincts. Try to create physical space between you and any threatening person and try to keep the situation from escalating.
Active Shooter
An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically through the use of firearms.Active Shooter-How to Respond - 3 Choices
- Evacuate
- Have an escape route and plan in mind
- Leave your belongings behind
- Keep your hands visible
- Hide in an area out of the shooter's view
- Block entry to your hiding place and lock/barricade the door using whatever is available (desk, filing cabinet, etc.). DO NOT stand near the barricaded door
- Keep still and silence your cell phone
Active Shooter Notification
- Call 911 from a campus phone and report the incident. Provide as much detail as possible about the situation and the physical description of the assailant/shooter
- Provide location of incident:
- building name
- floor level
- room number
- Provide your name and phone number
- Give a description of the weapon
- Report number of potential injuries
In the event of an emergency on or near our campuses, a mass notification may be sent out instructing the campus community to "Shelter In Place". For example, these instructions may be given if a train derailment (involving hazardous chemicals) occurs near our campuses. "Shelter In Place" means people need to take refuge IN the building they are in. If you are outside or in your vehicle on campus, during such an alert, please go into the nearest building. Close any open windows and turn off any nearby air conditioning units. Remain in place until officials or a mass notification is sent giving the "All Clear" message.
Campus Evacuation
Most emergencies do not require complete evacuation of the entire campus. However, when a campus evacuation is ordered by the ETSU mass notification system, all persons are to immediately evacuate the campus by foot in the direction opposite of the crisis area. Specific directions and routes will be communicated by the mass notification system. DO NOT get into vehicles, as vehicles in mass numbers have proven to be an ineffective means to evacuate campus in a timely manner. Vehicle transportation will need to be reserved for those with significant mobility impairments as well as keeping the roadways clear for emergency response vehicles.
Campus Emergency Procedures
All ETSU buildings have emergency procedures and evacuation information posted. Please familiarize yourself with your building's emergency procedures. The emergency procedures are posted in the hallways at main building entrances. The following is an example:Building Emergency Procedures (.PDF)
Continuity of Operations Planning
Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is a systematic interdisciplinary approach to planning for how departments and the university as a whole will continue critical operations and business during and after a disaster. Such planning is a crucial part of the larger integrated ETSU Emergency Preparedness Plan, which focuses on response and recovery.
The "business" of the university is framed by its mission of teaching, research, and public service. The university's ability to accomplish its mission is vulnerable to a major emergency which results in a significant loss of vital resources such as power, buildings, equipment, infrastructure, technology, or personnel. Peer institutions nationally have indentified continuity planning as a major area of focus and development. Collaborative department-based continuity planning identifies needs that are either unique to individual departments or shared by multiple departments or the entire university. The process of identifying critical functions and taking steps to sustain those functions enhances the resilience of the university by enabling it to maintain or to quickly resume mission-critical activities when faced with a significant loss of essential resources and services.
In summary, continuity planning benefits the university establishing priorities and procedures to sustain and restore operations at both the departmental and university level in response to an emergency. As part of the university's Emergency Preparedness Plan, the Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) office has developed a continuity of operations planning program for university departments and units.
ETSU Emergency Preparedness
Remember, emergency events can occur at anytime.
How well ETSU responds is directly related to how well the university is prepared!
Please do your part in making ETSU a safe campus. Please familiarize yourself with important preparedness and safety related information. This information is available to the campus community by going to the following website:

The AFL-CIO is launching a statewide radio ad campaign in opposition to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed creation of a sixth state pension tier, calling it a "rollback of middle class retirement security."
"Since the economic recession began, middle class New Yorkers have suffered," said AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento. "Wage freezes, layoffs, and givebacks have been all too common. Now, the retirement security of workers is threatened by an ill-conceived Tier 6 proposal."
"Make no mistake, this is not just about public employees. This is about all workers and the security provided by defined-benefit pensions. Government should set an example for what we aspire to be, not what we fear we may become. Far too many have already learned the hard way that a 401(k) is not enough."
Interestingly, the ad, which will hit the airwaves tomorrow, doesn't single out the governor, despite the fact that Tier 6 is his brainchild. Just last night, for example, Cuomo emailed supporters seeking support of his pension reform plan, noting: "Pension costs are growing at an unsustainable rate, projected to increase 185% from 2009 to 2015."
The governor insists his plan is fair, and has repeatedly stressed that no current employees – only new hires, also known in unionspeak as "the unborn" – will be impacted by the creation of a new pension tier. The unions, led by the AFL-CIO and supported by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, beg to differ, insisting that the creation of a defined benefit plan will put the entire fund at risk.
A number of unions are now running campaigns against Cuomo's budget proposals. (The pension reform plan is indeed contained in his budget, which makes it more difficult for lawmakers to reject). But, like the AFL-CIO, they're so far avoiding going nuclear on the uber-popular – and powerful – governor himself.
As long as he's got more than $14 million in the bank and the business-backed Committee to Save New York on his side, an expensive ad war of the sort we used to see during budget battles, is unlikely.
Here's the script of the AFL-CIO ad:
What's happening to the middle class? Income for average families is down. Jobs are scarce. Opportunities working people thought they could count on no longer exist. For many New Yorkers, times are tough. And they could get even tougher.
Because some politicians are putting the retirement security of hard-working New Yorkers on the chopping block. But going after the pensions of firefighters, teachers, nurses, school bus drivers, police officers – the people we all depend on – is the wrong way to go. It's time to rebuild the middle class, not attack what's left of it.
Working New Yorkers have been the backbone of our success for generations. When they suffer, we all pay the price. Call Albany at 1-877-255-9417. Tell them to fight for the middle class and STOP the attack on our pensions.
ANNCR: Paid for by New York State AFL-CIO, Mario Cilento, President.
UPDATE: Committee to Save New York spokesman Mike McKeon sent this statement:
"It is always unfortunate, but never surprising, that Albany special interests resort to scare tactics that are absolutely false in order to protect the status quo."
"The truth is not even one teacher, firefighter, police officer or any worker on the job today would be impacted by proposed pension reform. Their pensions are totally protected. It is also true that if we don't reform this broken system, there may be fewer jobs in the future as costs skyrocket by more than 180 percent in the next few years."
"This is a problem we can and must fix now. We support Governor Cuomo's reform agenda as a critical component to making New York affordable for our residents and businesses."

TR;DL: Platform for building custom Express + Handlebars + Mongoose + Passport + Bootstrap sites quickly.
A server-side node module that utilizes popular NPM modules and a set of simple file layout conventions to make putting together an efficient, new, custom site easy and efficient.
PlatformJS qualifies as "opinionated" software. The primary purpose of the platform is to allow tie together existing, high-quality libraries into a new site very quickly; it is quite difficult to serve this purpose effectively without making presumptions about which libraries to use.
The basic server is with no content or custom configuration isn't very interesting, however to get a minimal server going:
In a file
var platformjs = require("platformjs-core");
var platform = new platformjs.Platform;
Then start the server with:
$ node server.js
If you visit http://localhost:8080, you should then get a message
Cannot GET /. This is correct behavior as the site has no content.
All content, customization, and plug-ins are read in from the subdirectories of a special
extensions subdirectory. Within that directory, there are conventions for content -- such as the
public directory being used to directly server static content:
index.html with some HTML content
public directory within the extension
Note: if a
public/favicon.ico file is located, it will automatically be special-cased to use the express favicon middleware for efficiency.
protected/ sub-directory can be used similiarly to the
public/ sub-directory, except for generated files. For example, a file named
protected/user/dashboard.hb.html represents a Handlebars template that is automatically routed as a rendered template to
Templates currently use a version of Handlebars with a few simple extensions.
Templates should end with an
.hb.html extensions.
The built in extensions to the Handlebars include:
{{#markdown}}{{/markdown}} can be used to include markdown within the page.
{{#context}}{{/context}} text within this block is treated as JSON which is merged into the template context. This is useful to "locally" define variables in the template without modifying the code. This can be useful for generating tables of data or other repeated elements.
All files in the
partials directory with a
.hb.html are considered Handlebars partials.
For example, if there is a file
partials/base-stylesheets.hb.html, it will can be inserted into another template via:
{{> base-stylesheets }}
Note: The current implementation does not support nested sub-directories within this sub-directory.
In order to control the precedent of settings that overlap between extensions, each extension is given a priority.

A French doctor has described how a million-to-one chance led him to catch a baby who had fallen 24 metres (80ft) from a Paris balcony before bouncing off a cafe awning into his arms.
Philippe Bensignor was hailed a hero for saving the 15-month-old child, who had been left alone with his four-year-old sister while their parents reportedly "popped out" for some shopping.
The boy was playing on the balcony of the seventh floor apartment when he fell through the railings, but escaped miraculously without a single scratch.
Bensignor, 58, a GP, said it was pure luck he was passing while out walking with his seven-year-old son Raphaël, last week.
"It was a reflex action. I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to stop the fall of a baby weighing a dozen kilos but I caught him in my arms ... like a rugby ball," he said in an interview with Le Parisien.
"He barely cried but I talked to him gently to calm him down. He ended up going to sleep in my arms before the ambulance arrived."
Bensignor said it was thanks to Raphaël that he saved the falling child.
"We were walking and Raphaël was talking to me ... then he looked up and said: 'Papa, have you seen the children on the balcony up there?' There was no panic in his voice, just astonishment."
He said he looked up just as the baby fell.
The doctor, who once worked in the casualty department of a hospital in the Congo, said he'd been told the baby had suffered no consequences of his ordeal.
"He was playing in his room when I called the hospital," he said.
The toddler's parents have been charged with causing injury through neglect and face a fine or prison sentence if convicted.
Philippe Bensignor insisted he is no hero. "There's one chance in several dozen millions that someone was passing under the balcony when the baby fell.
"It just so happened to be me. I reacted as anyone else in my position would have done. As I say, it's luck ..."

Guilty verdict in shooting
Updated 12:28 am, Thursday, March 17, 2011
SCHENECTADY-- A jury deliberated over two days before finding a Rotterdam man of guilty of felony assault for shooting his niece's boyfriend in 2009, according to the prosecutor.
Assistant District Attorney Amy Monahan said Wednesday night that the defendant Brian Simmons faces a maximum of 25 years for the felony conviction when he is sentenced on May 11.
In December 2009, Simmons, 53, shot Joel Winkler at close range in the armpit after Winkler came over to Simmons' Rotterdam home get his girlfriend who is Simmons' niece.
The defense had argued during the trial before Visiting Schenectady County Court Judge Polly Hoye that Simmons was defending his wife when he shot Winkler, 25. The woman had tried to prevent her niece from leaving the Rotterdam home and an altercation erupted among the group before Simmons grabbed his shotgun and fired.
Monahan said "we're pleased with the verdict", but the victim will have lasting injuries from the shooting.

There are some extraordinary biblical scholars teaching, researching, and writing in the field of scripture studies. A few of the best known are Raymond Brown, S.S., Jospeh Fitzmeyer, and Roland Murphy, co-editors of the tome The New Jerome Biblical Commentary and past presidents of the Catholic Biblical Association and the Society of Biblical Literature. Raymond Brown also wrote a well-respected Introduction to the New Testament. Both are go-to references for homilists and students of the Bible.
A look at the editors and contributors of the two most commonly used Bibles in Catholic and mainline Protestant churches, the New American and the New Revised Standard Version, call to mind some other well-esteemed scholars, among them: Donald Senior, Mary Ann Getty, Carroll Stuhlmueller, John J. Collins, Dianne Bergant, John Collins, Pheme Perkins, and Bruce Metzger to name a few.
