Gresham father sentenced to 50 years in porn case involving daughters, 2 and 10
by Bend Weekly News Sources
PORTLAND, Ore. — A 35-year old Gresham man was sentenced today to 50 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to production of child pornography in U.S. District Court. Mark Allyn Hoffman was part of a ring of fathers throughout the country who were sexually abusing children in their care and sharing images and videos online, the FBI said. Some of the pornography portrayed Hoffman's then two- and ten-year-old daughters either nude or engaged in oral and/or sexual intercourse with their father.
Mark Allyn Hoffman will serve 50 years in federal prison
The federal investigation began in 2006 when an undercover online police officer, working with the North Caroline State Bureau of Investigation, received child pornography videos from Kenneth Rich, a Florida man. The videos depicted the sexual molestation of Rich's five year old daughter. After his arrest, Rich provided information that led agents down a long trail of fathers and guardians across the country who were sexually abusing minor female children in their care. The fathers were communicating with one another online and sending child pornography images and videos through the internet. Rich was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison after conviction on sexual exploitation of children and for distribution of child pornography.
Eventually, Douglass Bartlett of Pennsylvania, who was sentenced to serve 160 months in federal prison for his conviction on distribution of child pornography, provided information about Hoffman and his then two- and ten-year-old daughters. Bartlett described the images sent to him by Hoffman, which included pictures and videos of Hoffman's minor daughters either nude or engaged in oral and or sexual intercourse with Hoffman.
Search warrants were executed at Hoffman's residence on November 6, 2007 and February 12, 2008. Agents seized numerous images from disks and Hoffman's computer depicting all three of his minor children engaged in various sexual acts. A forensic exam of Hoffman's computer showed more than 6,000 child pornography images, 60 of the images were directly attributable to the three children identified during the search. Investigators found additional child pornography on CDs and removable media as well. Based on items seen in the background of the pictures, investigators were able to verify that some of the pictures were taken in Portland and some were taken in Clark County, Washington.

Residential Pest Control
Invading pests pose a variety of threats to your home and family. Some pests, like termites, carpenter ants, silverfish, and carpet beetles, can damage the home and its contents. Some roaches, moths and beetles can invade the kitchen and attack the food in the pantry. Other pests, like bedbugs, fleas, ticks and wasps, can be a threat to the comfort and health of your family and pets in the home. In order to meet your specific needs, we offer monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual programs and "as needed" calls.
We know how important it is to live in a safe and beautiful home and Pestop offers a variety of residential options for pest control. Pestop offers a personalized, consultative approach – we do it "your way" – focusing on "your needs" and "your priorities". We can do it the "Old Way", the "New Way" or the "Green Way". We can treat the exterior, interior or both. Our work is done with safety and the client's long term benefit in mind. All work is guaranteed and/or warranted – we'll retreat or give your money back!
Most pest problems cannot be solved with just one treatment. Insects that are in the egg or cocoon stages will not be affected by a single treatment. Ant colonies make an invisible odor trail when they invade a home. If the first ants are killed, more ants can follow the odor trail and find their way into the home. Our trained, professional team understands pest biology and habits and will incorporate appropriate cures in the design of your program. We will inspect your home, offer advice about any pest control problems, perform an initial treatment to rid your home of any existing pests, and design a customized, warranted maintenance program to keep your home pest free.
We address the following pests:
- Animal Trapping – Repairs and Exclusion
- Ants – Interior/Exterior/Yard
- Bed Bugs
- Bees – All Varieties – Remove and Repair
- Crickets
- Fleas and Ticks – Interior/Exterior/Yard
- Gnats

The following is quoted, in part, from text found at DANFS Online while the last few paragraphs are original.
USS Putnam (DD-757) was the second ship in the U.S. Navy named in honor of Charles Flint Putnam, the first being the Clemson class Destroyer, DD-287. The flush-decked, "short-hulled" Allen M. Sumner Class, all-purpose destroyer, was laid down on 11 July 1943 by the Bethlehem Steel Companys Shipbuilding Division at San Francisco, California; christened by Mrs. Doana Putnam Wheeler and launched on 26 March 1944; and commissioned on 12 October 1944 with Commander Frederick V.H. Hilles in command.
When commissioned, the warship displaced 2,200 tons; was 3766" in length; had a beam of 41; drew 158" of water; could make 34 knots at speed; was manned by 336 officers and men; and was armed with six 5-inch guns, eleven 40-mm antiaircraft guns, ten 21-inch torpedo tubes, six depth charge projectors and depth charge tracks.
Following shakedown off the Pacific coast, USS Putnam sailed beneath the Golden Gate Bridge on 30 December 1944 to take her place with the Pacific Fleet. Arriving at Pearl Harbor on 2 January 1945, the destroyer prepared for her first offensive operation, and got underway on 29 January for the Marianas, screening the transports carrying the 4th and 5th Divisions of Marines.
Pausing briefly at Eniwetok, Saipan, and Tinian, the warship steamed from Guam on 17 February in convoy enroute to Iwo Jima. As she arrived off Iwo Jima on D-Day (19 February), the complexities of amphibious warfare engulfed her. Gunfire support ships lying off-shore kept a thunderous rain of destruction pouring on the island.
USS Putnam inched in dangerously close to the beach to blast shore installations in support of the invading Marines and illuminated Japanese troop concentrations at night with star shells. On the 23rd of February, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal and a high-ranking Navy-Marine Corps party, after observing the initial phases of the landing, embarked in USS Putnam for transportation to Guam. Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was on hand at Guam to meet the Secretary of the Navy and his party upon arrival.
USS Putnam departed Guam on 12 March and escorted logistics ships to Leyte in the Philippine Islands...arriving there five days later. She stood out of San Pedro Bay, Philippine Islands, on 27 March, and escorted a transport group to Okinawa. Arriving Easter Sunday, the destroyer immediately took up AntiAirWarfare (AAW) screening duties. After escorting a convoy to Ulithi, USS Putnam returned to Okinawa and was assigned a gunfire support station southwest of the island on 16 April 1945.
Later assigned to a hazardous radar picket station, USS Putnam vectored Navy fighters against the inbound Kamikazes. She remained unscathed only because an unidentified American pilot heroically crashed into a Kamikaze on 16 June just seconds before the Japanese suicide plane would have crashed into the destroyer.
Soon after sundown on 16 June 1945, a torpedo dropped from a low-flying Japanese plane struck USS Twiggs (DD-591) to port and exploded her Number Two Magazine. USS Putnam quickly closed the stricken ship. Exploding ammunition made rescue operations hazardous, but of 188 USS Twiggs survivors snatched from the sea, USS Putnam accounted for 114 of them.
Retiring from a subdued Okinawa on 1 July 1945, USS Putnam joined Task Force (TF) 38 and assisted in screening the carriers that were attacking Japanese shipping in the East China Sea...through 8 August.
With the "cease hostilities" order of 15 August, the occupation of the Japanese home islands became the immediate concern, and through the first week of September, USS Putnam served as a guide and rescue destroyer for Tokyo-bound transport planes. She left her station, some 100 miles north of Okinawa, on 13 September, to serve in the escort for USS New Jersey (BB-62) as she steamed for Wakayama, on the central island of Honshu.
USS Putnam stood into Tokyo Bay on 17 September, where she rode out a howling typhoon. She then transited back to Wakayama on 25 September, thence to Okinawa on 1 October, and then back to Wakayama. Steaming via Eniwetok on 5 December, the destroyer touched at Pearl Harbor on 10 December for fuel, proceeded east, and dropped her hook off San Diego on 22 December 1945. She was safely home from the war.
USS Putnam received three battle stars for her World War II service in the Pacific theatre of operations.
Standing out of San Diego on 3 January 1946, USS Putnam steamed to the New York Naval Shipyard, in Brooklyn, for availability. She subsequently operated out of Newport, Rhode Island, until the beginning of 1947, when she made Pensacola, Florida, her base. In late April 1947, USS Putnam called at Norfolk, Virginia, to be readied for a peacetime cruise to European waters.
After departing Norfolk, the USS Putnam's ports of call included: Toulon (France, where the French Fleet had been destroyed to prevent it falling into the hands of the Axis powers), Sicily (or a similar island off the Italian "boot," Naples (which was still heavily damaged from W.W.II), Trieste, Venice and Taranto (at the bottom of the boot). Liberties in Trieste and in Venice were the highlights of the cruise.
USS Putnam was one of three destroyers assigned during the period from 19 through 25 April 1948 to the United Nations mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, to attempt to maintain peace between Arab and Israeli forces. When the truce temporarily broke down, USS Putnam stood into Haifa on 23 July to evacuate the United Nations team from that port. She was thus the first U.S. Navy ship to fly the United Nations flag.
After a brief period of decommissioned reserve status with the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, USS Putnam reactivated in October of 1950. A Mediterranean cruise took her away from Norfolk from October of 1951 through 4 June of 1952. Local operations and overhaul were followed by refresher training in the Caribbean from 21 May through 10 July of 1953. USS Putnam departed Norfolk on 25 September and transited the Suez Canal on 15 October, arriving at Yokosuka, Japan, on 10 November. She operated in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea through 11 March 1954. Departing Midway Island on 17 March, she touched at Pearl Harbor on 21 March, called at various United States ports on the west coast, then transited the Panama Canal and arrived at Norfolk, Virginia, on 1 May 1954...thus completing a circumnavigation of the globe.
Exercise "LantFlex 1-55" commenced a round of training cruises and deployments which took USS Putnam from the east coast to the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Sea. Her 1955 and 1956 Mediterranean deployments were followed by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) exercises in the North Atlantic Ocean during the latter part of 1957. A September 1958 Mediterranean deployment was followed by an overhaul at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
The summer of 1959 found USS Putnam participating in the first Operation "Inland Seas"...during which she steamed in all five of the Great Lakes.
Between 1960 and 1969, the destroyer made nine annual deployments to the Mediterranean, interspersed with northern European operations, coast-wise trips, and visits to the Caribbean.
In June of 1962, she entered the New York Naval Shipyard for a Fleet Rehabilitation And Modernization (FRAM) Mark II conversion, which was completed in March of 1963.
Into 1970, she continued active in the best traditions of the Destroyer Force, providing an American presence during her many deployments with the U.S. Sixth Fleet, and always exercising and refining her multifaceted capabilities in Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW), AntiAirWarfare (AAW), surface gunnery, shore bombardment, and the multitudinous assignments that have traditionally been the lot of the all-purpose Destroyer.
After a short repair availability in Baltimore in mid-1970, USS Putnam was reassigned to New Orleans, Louisiana where she finished out her days performing the duties of a Reserve Trainer.
Finally, USS Putnam (DD-757) was decommissioned for the last time, was stricken from the Navy List on 6 August 1973, and subsequently scrapped.

How to Organize Your Holiday Decorations
In a pared-down palette, Ali's prints look chic, not chaotic. "I like an eclectic look that's easy to live with," she says. The key: Stick to a few calm colors (here, mushroom and cream), and vary the designs' scale.
Next to a light-filled window, an antique chair — bought at a sidewalk sale for $30 — transforms this nook into a cozy reading spot. "We want to take advantage of every part of our small house and not waste any corner," Ali says.

In the Democratic Debate in Brooklyn last night, Israel and the fate of the Palestinians became the subject of a feisty showdown between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
In this wedge issue, I support Israel for logical reasons. Israel is the bulwark nation in the fight against Islam(ism) and the gates of western civilization begins in Jerusalem. Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East that has freedom of belief, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech; where Bahai's, Christians, Druze, Jews, Muslims, atheists, gays, women, and other minorities have refuge and are equally protected under the law and where over a million Arab Israelis live better off than their counterparts across the Arab World. Science and secularism are things that are cherished in Israel but do not exist in Gaza and the West Bank and can never be implemented in territories governed by sharia.
So I can't tell you how perturbed by Bernie Sanders ignorance and naiveté about the dynamics at play in this regional conflict between Zionism vs. Islam.
In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, Sanders arguably made the most defamatory factual error when he called Israel's actions during the 2014 war in Gaza "disproportionate," and inaccurately said that more than 10,000 innocent people were killed when, in fact, 2,100 Gazans were killed in the Gaza war, half of which were terrorist and the other half civilians women and children used by Hamas as human shields or other Gazans who ignored Israeli military's warnings to evacuate battlegrounds.
How does Sanders think he can wave his magic wand and bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians when Iran and Israel's Arab neighbors:
-Refuse to normalize relations with Israel
-Transfer arms to Palestinians to use in their attacks on Israel
-Radicalize Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
-Use Palestinians as pawns in a proxy war against Israel.
-Refuse to normalize relations with Israel
-Transfer arms to Palestinians to use in their attacks on Israel
-Radicalize Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
-Use Palestinians as pawns in a proxy war against Israel.
How is Sanders going to get Hamas, the democratically elected leaders of Gaza, (which have openly declared in their charter that they wish to Israel and kill Jews everywhere) to negotiate a peace deal with Israel?
I'm sorry to inform all of the BernieBros and other vocal Sanders supporters who've aligned themselves with the #FreePalestine and the #BDS (Boycott Divest and Sanction Israel) campaigns. Free Palestine is a code word for death to Israel and the focus on the BDS campaign (which hurts the economy of the West Bank so dependent on trade with Israel) and the complete ignoring of sharia violence and jihadi terrorism across the Muslim World that breeds anti-Semitism, makes it's obvious Sanders is wrong both intellectually and morally even if his intentions are well-meaning.
Most Americans, democrat and republican, sympathetize with Israel. Numbers wise there are more Zionists in the United States than in Israel or any other country in the world. So even if a fraction of Judenrat Jews betray Israel and surrender to the will of Marxist Islamists, we have plenty of Christian Zionists, Log Cabin Zionists, Neocon Zionists and the up-and-coming Ex-Muslim Zionists, (East) Indian Zionists, New Atheist Zionists and Stonewall Zionists to not only make up for the loss but actually grow America's unshakeable commitment with the State of Israel.
There can and should be peace between Israel and her Arab neighbors. I believe Hillary Clinton's pragmatic approach is more realistic and viable. This is yet another reason why #ImWithHer.

The Power of Awareness ( Audio Book )
The Power of Awareness – Neville Goddard / Chapter One
|The book contains 27 chapters , Total length 1hrs 45 mins
Neville Goddard
The Power of Awareness
"The Power of Awareness" shows us how to use our minds to fulfill our wishes. It is like teaching someone how to make their dreams come true! In it Neville, uncovers the mystery in attaining your deepest desires. A step by step process, where by you receive the tools necessary to manifest your intentions. A book to refer to, always, as you must practice this wisdom daily and do your "internal" work. It's not a magic bullet, there are none. Yet the more you re-read, you have the keys to unfold your magnificent life.
Chapter 1
THE "LIGHT" is consciousness. Consciousness is one, manifesting in legions of forms or levels of consciousness. There is no one that is not all that is, for consciousness, though expressed in an infinite series of levels, is not divisional. There is no real separation or gap in consciousness. I AM cannot be divided. I may conceive myself to be a rich man, a poor man, a beggar man or a thief, but the center of my being remains the same regardless of the concept I hold of myself. At the center of manifestation there is only one I AM manifesting in legions of forms or concepts of itself and "I am that I am."
I AM is the self-definition of the absolute, the foundation on which everything rests. I AM is the first cause-substance. I AM is the self-definition of God.
I AM hath sent me unto you.
Be still and know that I AM God.
I AM is a feeling of permanent awareness. The very center of consciousness is the feeling of I AM. I may forget who I am, where I am, what I am, but I cannot forget that I AM. The awareness of being remains, regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where, and what I am.
I AM is that which, amid unnumbered forms, is ever the same. This great discovery of cause reveals that, good or bad, man is actually the arbiter of his own fate, and that it is his concept of himself that determines the world in which he lives [and his concept of himself is his reactions to life]. In other words, if you are experiencing ill health, knowing the truth about cause, you cannot attribute the illness to anything other than to the particular arrangement of the basic cause-substance, an arrangement which [was produced by your reactions to life, and] is defined by your concept "I am unwell." This is why you are told "Let the weak man say, 'I am strong'" (Joel 3:10), for by his assumption, the cause-substance—I AM—is rearranged and must, therefore, manifest that which its rearrangement affirms. This principle governs every aspect of your life, be it social, financial, intellectual, or spiritual.
I AM is that reality to which, whatever happens, we must turn for an explanation of the phenomena of life. It is I AM's concept of itself that determines the form and scenery of its existence. Everything depends upon its attitude towards itself; that which it will not affirm as true of itself cannot awaken in its world. That is, your concept of yourself, such as "I am strong," "I am secure," "I am loved," determines the world in which you live. In other words, when you say, "I am a man, I am a father, I am an American," you are not defining different I AM's; you are defining different concepts or arrangements of the one cause-substance—the one I AM. Even in the phenomena of nature, if the tree were articulate it would say, "I am a tree, an apple tree, a fruitful tree."
When you know that consciousness is the one and only reality—conceiving itself to be something good, bad, or indifferent, and becoming that which it conceived itself to be—you are free from the tyranny of second causes, free from the belief that there are causes outside of your own mind that can affect your life.
In the state of consciousness of the individual is found the explanation of the phenomena of life. If man's concept of himself were different, everything in his world would be different. His concept of himself being what it is, everything in his world must be as it is.
Thus it is abundantly clear that there is only one I AM and you are that I AM. And while I AM is infinite, you, by your concept of yourself, are displaying only a limited aspect of the infinite I AM.
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!
Chapter 2
IT is only by a change of consciousness, by actually changing your concept of yourself, that you can "build more stately mansions"—the manifestations of higher and higher concepts. (By manifesting is meant experiencing the results of these concepts in your world.) It is of vital importance to understand clearly just what consciousness is.
The reason lies in the fact that consciousness is the one and only reality, it is the first and only cause-substance of the phenomena of life. Nothing has existence for man save through the consciousness he has of it. Therefore, it is to consciousness you must turn; for it is the only foundation on which the phenomena of life can be explained.
If we accept the idea of a first cause, it would follow that the evolution of that cause could never result in anything foreign to itself. That is, if the first cause-substance is light, all its evolutions, fruits, and manifestations would remain light. The first cause-substance being consciousness, all its evolutions, fruits, and phenomena must remain consciousness. All that could be observed would be a higher or lower form or variation of the same thing. In other words, if your consciousness is the only reality, it must also be the only substance. Consequently, what appears to you as circumstances, conditions, and even material objects are really only the products of your own consciousness. Nature, then, as a thing or a complex of things external to your mind, must be rejected. You and your environment cannot be regarded as existing separately. You and your world are one.
Therefore, you must turn from the objective appearance of things to the subjective center of things, your consciousness, if you truly desire to know the cause of the phenomena of life, and how to use this knowledge to realize your fondest dreams. In the midst of the apparent contradictions, antagonisms, and contrasts of your life, there is only one principle at work, only your consciousness operating. Difference does not consist in variety of substance, but in variety of arrangement of the same cause-substance, your consciousness.
The world moves with motiveless necessity. By this is meant that it has no motive of its own, but is under the necessity of manifesting your concept, the arrangement of your mind, and your mind is always arranged in the image of all you believe and consent to as true. The rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief are not different minds, but different arrangements of the same mind, in the same sense that a piece of steel when magnetized differs not in substance from its demagnetized state but in the arrangement and order of its molecules. A single electron revolving in a specified orbit constitutes the unit of magnetism. When a piece of steel or anything else is demagnetized, the revolving electrons have not stopped. Therefore, the magnetism has not gone out of existence. There is only a rearrangement of the particles, so that they produce no outside or perceptible effect. When particles are arranged at random, mixed up in all directions, the substance is said to be demagnetized; but when particles are marshaled in ranks so that a number of them face in one direction, the substance is a magnet. Magnetism is not generated; it is displayed. Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind—that is, by your concept of yourself [and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true. What you consent to can only be discovered by an uncritical observation of your reactions to life. Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically; and where you live psychologically, determines how you live here in the outer visible world]. The importance of this in your daily life should be immediately apparent.
The basic nature of the primal cause is consciousness. Therefore, the ultimate substance of all things is consciousness.

Microsoft's corporate vice-president for Skype, Mark Gillett, has expressed his desire to bring the Skype video-calling service to the PlayStation 4 console.
During the Xbox One reveal event in May Microsoft demonstrated how Skype would be integrated with their new Xbox One console and it appeared to be a unique feature however Skype want their video-call platform to be as open as possible by being available on as many devices as possible.
Speaking to the BBC Gillett said:
"We've worked with Sony for a long time. Skype ships today on the PlayStation Portable amongst other cross-platform devices that we deliver to, and for the last few years we've also been shipping versions of Skype that run on Sony TVs. "We're obviously not party to their pre-release [PlayStation] hardware road map [but] we're committed to cross-platform."
Amazingly, if the Skype app were to come to PS4 it would make history for being the first time users of two mainstream home consoles (the Xbox One and PS4) could directly communicate with one another!
In 2011 Microsoft purchased Skype for $8.5 billion.

Email re dress code:
Inappropriate dress includes thin strap tank shirts that intentionally show bra straps, and or too much arm pit. No mid drifts, or other intentional revealing apparel.
mid rift, which is already reported, is obviously related. Here I for one get the picture of pants and top drifting away from each other in the midsection.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Nice variant David. I thought the eggcorn discussed previously was "mid drift", but you're right, it was reported as "mid rift."...
Midrift instead of midriff (common in the wild) by calamityjane01 Contribute! 1 2006-10-05 12:16:51 by Peter Forster
Jorkel, you may have been thinking of this post, which is from the old Database comments section:
# 665 Commentary by Lara Hopkins , 2005/09/27 at 3:48 am
"Mid-drift top" for "midriff top".
I spotted this on a mailing list just now. Maybe the speaker is imagining the hem to be progressively drifting upwards on the torso. "Midriff" in isolation is more or less obsolete nowadays.
Google confirms nearly 6000 examples, including a number of dress code handbooks:
"Thongs, "baggy" pants, mid-drift tops, "spaghetti strap tops", etc. are not considered safe for school"
"please forgo any mid-drift tops, tennis shoes, torn jeans, etc."
#3 NO halter, tank or mid-drift tops."
"Matching bra or mid-drift tops are available, but are VERY small. "
For some reason, I can't get the quotation formatting to work correctly. Those last two citations are part of Lara's original post.
I do like David's addition of plate tectonic imagery to the mix.
Though we often talk here on the forum about not making a big deal about eggcorns as mistakes, I am just a bit concerned that one of the examples above is from a school district here in Northern California. Official school websites need to lead by example, and should employ a pretty high standard of proofreading.

Schools no doubt should lead by example, but the mood is subjunctive or optative rather than indicative. I have, documented, an impromptu mission statement uttered at a PTA meeting by the principal of a public school in the US:
"The purpose of the aim of our goal is to learn each student to think for theirself."
Independence of thought regarding grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., is no doubt encompassed within this noble objective.

Despite a contentious redistricting that Queens' Democratic legislators found to be a transparent power grab by Republicans to control the state Senate, Queens Democratic senators ended up holding onto their districts by large margins in the 2012 elections.
Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria), whose district was originally redrawn to put his house in Sen. Jose Peralta's (D-East Elmhurst) territory, ended up defeating Republican challenger Aurelio Arcabascio with 86 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results from NY 1.
Both Gianaris, who was elected in 2010 after serving in the state Assembly for 10 years, and Arcabascio, who works at North Shore-LIJ, made job creation and better health care for the district crucial components of their campaigns. The senator also focused on gun control and environmental protection while Arcabascio touted creating an urban enterprise zone in Maspeth.
Gianaris had criticized the new lines as gerrymandering that divided neighborhoods and an attempt to hold onto power by forcing Democrats to run against each other. He did not face a primary race.
In northeast Queens, Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), handily defeated Republican Joseph Concannon, a retired NYPD officer, with a 73 percent lead, according to NY 1. Avella ran against hydrofracking and political corruption, but Concannon, whose campaign promises included a smaller government and a crackdown on crime, accused Avella of not doing enough.
Former Republican Sen. Frank Padavan, who Avella unseated in 2010, thought of running a rematch before Concannon stepped up to the plate. Concannon referred to the the 38-year legislator often in his campaign.
Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Whitestone), who has been in office since 1999, won another two years and ended up trouncing Republican lawyer J.D. Kim by 74 percent according to NY 1, even though her house and some perceived Democratic strongholds had been drawn out of the district. Stavisky's campaign focused on education and immigrant opportunity, while Kim's campaign centered on less regulation for small businesses and improving the economy.
Stavisky had defeated Oakland Gardens lawyer John Messer in a bitter primary race this September.
Peralta and Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-St. Albans) did not face opponents in their re-election bids this year. City Councilman James Sanders (D-Laurelton), who won the primary election against incumbent Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica) in September, did not face an opponent in the general election and will join the Senate at the beginning of next year.

Since this is an online marketing blog I thought I'd share some data I recently came across that confirms the trend of Internet marketing becoming more important within the overall marketing mix. The results are from a report published by MarketingSherpa.com based on surveys of 826 IT marketers and 196 IT professionals conducted in April and May of this year. In the first graph search engine optimization (SEO) is considered the 2nd most effective lead generation tactic. While Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising is # 7, ahead of such stalwarts as trade shows, direct mail and print advertising.
In the second chart marketing budgets are seen to reflect these results. While print, TV, and radio advertising along with trade shows have the largest percentage of respondents reporting reductions in budgets, PPC, SEO and Webinars are getting the largest increases.
Yes I know, not everything marketing does is about lead generation. But with management increasingly focused on ROI and improving revenues, lead generation must certainly be a high priority for marketing.

Sushi, saki, slopes...oh yes it's Japan! The name that says it all, this experience will take you from the city to the mountains and back again. The only operator combining a tour and a ski adventure in one, this should definitely be high on your must-do list! In a land where ancient and modern collide, experience why this traveller hotspot is now more on the map than ever before. Relax in a traditional Onsen, explore the Tsukiji Fish Markets in Tokyo & eat teppanyaki until your heart is content. Ride a bullet train, visit Harajuku and even give a real Robot restaurant a go! Oh, and spend some time at one of Japan's premier ski resorts carving pow in between. Let's go!
Konnichiwa travellers! And welcome to the land of the rising sun. Famed for it's good times in both summer and winter...this is one trip you won't be forgetting fast. City, snow - the name says it all. Let's do this. Get settled into your sweet Osakan digs (we're talking hotel overnights and the best place to settle into your time here) before joining forces with your Trip Manager & travel squad for an inaugural bout of exploring. Sake in Osaka, anyone?
Universal Studios, Osaka Castle, iconic Dōtonbori - today is yours to take on Osaka as your heart desires. Osaka is located on the island of Honshu, and this melthing pot of activities day and night will keep you on your toes. Ask your Trip Manager for some ideas on what to do today while you're here. History lovers could experience a slice of history at the 16th-century Osaka Castle, one of the city's best known landmarks. Those keen for a little slice of Shinto could experience Sumiyoshi-taisha, one of the country's oldest Shinto shrines. If you haven't worn yourself out by the evening we'll hit the streets for some traditional Japanese PATI (that's Japanese for partying, folks) in the form of karaoke. Because when in Japan, of course!
Osaka Tuck into a hefty breakfast this morning - you're going to need the fuel for a full day of sensory pleasures in Kyoto. Kyoto We jump on the coach and relax on our way to the blissful sights of Kyoto. Temples, gardens, shrines & world famous geisha girls will colour the day before you head off to the Shirakawa area to toy with local delights like seaweed, sushi and sashimi. Kyoto will be buzzing by night - there's no rest for the wicked!
Rise and shine revellers! No matter how many Asahis you enjoyed last night, you're going to want to get up and kick on with the Kyoto adventures. We start the day with a guided tour of Kyoto for an in-depth look at the city, or make tracks on your own and see where Kyoto's breeze takes you. Today we visit a Sake Making Museum to learn about the country's notoriously strong national drop. Yes, this amazing country is the gift that just keeps on giving. So what's up next? How's about checking out the Fushimi Inari Shrine. Approx 233 metres above sea level, the journey to the shrine begins at the base of the mountain.
Kyoto Good morning grasshoppers. Today we take on the wonderfully wacky city of Tokyo and we can't wait to take on the capital like the explorers we are. For those that have a need for speed, you'll take a ride on one of the world famous bullet trains for eye wateringly fast speeds. Tokyo With 3 nights here, you'll be whipping around the metro and debating the best tempura haunts in no time. After checking-in to our hotel it's time to get started on a city tour to see the famous sights, and the excitement will no doubt be pumping. Arigatōgozaimashita!
If you fell in love with Tokyo yesterday, chances are you only caught a glimpse of the full glitter of this city. So today will take things to a whole new love struck level. Those in need of a break could indulge in the traditional Japanese hot spring experience of Onsen. You could also slurp soba noodles on a street corner, uncover the world of Anime with a trip to Akihabara, or head to Ginza for incredible shopping: authentic kimonos - hello!!
You have one more full day to take in all that is Tokyo. The weekend is when this city really comes alive, with the Harajuku district of Shibuya always proving a pinnacle of the Japan experience. Those interested in the upbeat could venture to the future with an evening at the Robot Restaurant - as you do!
Heading out on a high note, this morning you'll take a guided tour of the world famous Tsukiji Fish Markets, considered a must-do in this part of the world, so have your camera ready! After a wander and plenty of gawking, there's your chance for a culinary crash course in the art of sushi, because there's nothing like picking up some new skills as you travel, right? Did you know it takes nearly 10 years to become a sushi master? So these guys and girls really know what they're doing. After lunch we say goodbye to Tokyo and head to Hakuba for some slope side fun on some of the best mountains in the world. Hakuba Back on the bullet train, it's hello Hakuba. Widely recognised as one of the world's best spots for skiing, this cute mountain village is stunning to say the least. 9 Resorts. 135 Lifts. Over 200 Runs. Yes! This is a snow lovers paradise. Nestled in the Northern Japan Alps, Hakuba is one of the country's premium resports, with some of the greatest conditions for those lovers of pow. Host to the 1998 Winter Olympic games, the conditions are second to none and soon to be yours.
Hakuba Rise early and get right into it, we're here and we're going to do it right. Let us paint a picture...Every season, 12-14 metres of dry powdery snow sprinkles itself across the mountain ranges of Japan's Hakuba. Whether you're an avid boarder or little more than an amateur snowman builder, this world famous snow resort area will see you smitten. With packages for lessons for those learning the ropes, to mountain guiding for those with a few skills keen to expand their horizons, everyone is well taken care of. By night, jump in the hot tub or a sauna and soak those weary bodies...finished up with some delicious Katsu curry, miso, donburi...whatever your heart desires. Tomorrow is another day and we bet you can't wait to get out there.
We have two more full days in snow town and a 3 day included ski pass in hand - now there's a reason to bounce out of bed in this chilly weather! Gliding down the side of a mountain not really your thing? Perhaps relax in an Onsen, grab a book and sit by an open fire in a local cafe while practicing your Japanese. Or maybe a karaoke slash saki session is more your kettle of koi carp.
The clock is officially ticking on our time together in these incredible lands of Japan. If you're all powdered out you could soak in the Kurashita no Yu hot springs or roam the Hakuba Art Museum - there are plenty of sights and culture if the mountains aren't begging your name.
There may be more tears than snowflakes this morning as we hug it out with our Contiki pals and say our final goodbyes. Or should we say, Sayōnara? After breakfast head back to Tokyo if you've booked our optional transfer or stay put on the slopes if you haven't quite had enough.

Banquet Tables.
By Ebenezer Baldwin Bowles
Posted on Wednesday, October 8, 2014
from rural Washington County, Arkansas
Two hours after noon. Though the seeds are plentiful, the birds aren't feeding at their banquet rocks outside my study windows. They shall alight soon, the birds: the hungry cardinals, chickadees, turtle doves, sparrows, jays, wrens, and other species I'm too droopy to identify.
What if, I wonder… What if one sunny autumn afternoon the birds never arrived to dine? What if the butterflies didn't float from the heavens to sip sweet nectar from the marigold, the dianthus, the lantana, and the daisy? What if these flying creatures never returned?
Alarms sound throughout the chattering world. The most strident contend we as a human race are destroying the ability of Earth to sustain life as we know it. Could be. There's a price to pay for rampant consumption of finite resources, unbridled population growth, and the ceaseless quest for material possessions. How much the ultimate levy?
I enjoy my birds, enjoy watching them land upon the stout limestones of the patio to eat their millets and sunflower seeds. I call them mine, these birds, though I know they belong to no one.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Natalie Coughlin broke the oldest American swimming record Friday, winning the 200-meter backstroke in 2 minutes, 8.53 seconds in the U.S. national championships.
Coughlin narrowly beat Betsy Mitchell's 1986 time of 2:08.60 for the record and her fifth win of the meet. Coughlin is the first person since 1978 to win five events at one national championships, a feat last accomplished by Tracy Caulkins.

All KU faculty and staff will be asked to submit recommendations to a chancellor's committee looking to trim KU's bureaucracy.
A chancellor's committee that wants to cut Kansas University administrative fat is seeking a little input. A letter will be mailed to all KU faculty and staff asking how KU can be made more efficient and what parts of the bureaucracy need to go.
The Campuswide Task Force on Administration and Re-engineering may mail out the letters next week, said task force chair Stephen Schroeder.
The letter will ask faculty and staff to make recommendations on administrative savings, streamlining the administration and restructuring it and "re-engineering any and all university processes."
Schroeder said he would like written responses -- no more than two pages in length -- returned to the committee in 10 days to two weeks after the letters are received.
In addition to written comments, people may send suggestions via electronic mail to Schroeder at Schroeder

Today was such an awesome day! It certainly wasn't a waste of time at all! I actually went to two Lord's table meetings today. The first was in district 9 of the church in London. We had our regular meeting this morning, and it was so full of life, life, life, and we were all being encouraged to just eat, eat, eat!
Then the second meeting was in Greenwich, for the first Lord's table in district 11 of the church in London! Praaaaise the Lord! Many saints came together for this new beginning from all across London and nearby cities. It was glorious! Maybe you can tell I am a little excited :) But it was just awesome!

text: Psychiatry is a broken institution. The "biopsychosocial" model of mental illness mentioned further down the page here exemplifies the many problems within psychiatry. Psychiatry has a leadership problem. Psychiatry has a lack of credible research problem. Psychiatry has an attitude problem. Psychiatry is so mired down in residual psychological ideas of what causes mental illness, that its just not worth trying to salvage. Psychiatry is NOT WORTH trying to salvage. Its the equivalent of a ship thats still afloat, but has torpedo holes shot all thru it and its just a matter of time before it goes down on its own. The real answer to the problems discussed on this NG is to formally merge psychiatry into Neurology. Dr. Fuller Torrey advocates this very idea. I personally agree with him, although I had come to this very same conclusion on my own years before I ever read about Dr. Torrey's opinions. All of the severe forms of mental illness need to be formally reclassified as Neurological disorders of the brain and formally removed from the category of psychiatric/psychological disorders. Then Neurology must take over the job previously done by psychiatry. Neurology should also take over the administration of all psychiatric hospitals in the USA. Neurologists should be running these hospitals, not psychiatrists. Psychiatry has never done a good job at accurately diagnosing and treating severe forms of mental illness....and it never will. We must force psychiatry OUT, replacing it with a hard science oriented branch of medicine focused on the brain and the CNS. And the ONLY branch of medicine that fits that bill is Neurology. Eric Basic course in logic 101: Psychiatry is bullshit...psychiatrists are full of shit

The Effigy Mounds at Devils Lake were built around 800 to 1100 AD by Native Americans referred to as the Effigy Mound Builders. No one, not even modern Native Americans have any direct knowledge of these people. At one time many people believed that these were burial mounds while research has shown that most seem to have ceremonial significance and were not used for burials. It's also suggested that they were built at the center of burial grounds. Any or all of these ideas are probably true in some cases.
At the turn of the 20th century Sauk County had innumerable mound sites. But it did not take long before most were destroyed when settlers started building homes and farming the land. It is sad to say that most of those early farmers considered sites to be a nuisance and spent much hard work plowing them under. (One of the reasons it's hard to determine their exact purpose.) Today there are few in existence, and there are still people who place no value in protecting them. Here in our part of Wisconsin, Man Mound (Designated as a National Landmark in 2016) north of Baraboo is now protected by a small park and there are also a few large mounds near Wisconsin Dells. In Sauk County the largest cluster of existing mounds are at Devil's Lake.
In the park itself many of the mounds were damaged and destroyed by the building of motels, cabins and the like as Devil's Lake became a popular tourism destination. The mounds that survived were between buildings and on property lines and were luckily left largely undisturbed. Over time an interest in the mounds began really take hold and in the 1920's mapping and study of the mounds began in earnest. As interest increased preservation began to become a priority. By that point, time and man had eroded the mounds almost beyond recognition so that only through survey records and historic examples, the mounds could be rebuilt to what is believed to be closest to their original appearance. These rebuilt mounds are what you see today.
Today the Mounds of Devil's Lake receive visitors from time to time who hold them sacred and who find solace near them. We were told of a story by park staff that several years ago two Native American women drove down from Minnesota to worship at the effigy mounds. They were appalled to see children playing on the mounds and told the park staffer how sacred the mounds were to them. In reply it was explained how the mounds had been rebuilt and that although Native Americans hold them sacred, most visitors to the park today know little about them. We hope this will not always be true.
Today the mounds are at Devil's Lake State Park are covered in native grasses to protect them from further erosion and from people walking on them. Even this has been controversial, and you'll often see paths where people walk over the mounds regardless.
We urge you to learn more about the mounds and the native history of the park. Please tread lightly and be respectful of the mounds and their place in our history. To learn more visit the Nature Center on the North Shore of the park. We think you will be amazed by the human and geological history of Devil's Lake.

The partnership is based on the conviction that, "A strong and prosperous America starts with local leadership." And it hopes to provide local officials with information and resources that can be used to advance the goals of climate preparedness, energy security, infrastructure renewal and economic prosperity.
RC4A asks local officials to commit to:
* Urge state and federal leaders to support local resilience initiatives and to take meaningful
steps to build resilience and security throughout the nation;
* Commit to building community resilience through your own local actions; and
* Commit to sharing solutions, success stories, and annual progress with other local governments
through the Resilient Communities for America online platform.
If you are interested in this issue, you can visit the website at www.resilientamerica.org. Free resources are available there, including a "Climate Extremes Communication Guidebook," climate adaptation resources and solar resources. In the meantime, we continue to recommend you contact the New Jersey Resiliency Network to take advantage of existing and New Jersey based resources for building resiliency in your municipality http://www.njresiliency.com
Very truly yours,
William G. Dressel, Jr.
Executive Director

For Immediate Release
Jackie Yodashkin
Communications Director, Freedom to Marry
Former President Jimmy Carter Supports the Freedom to Marry
Joins Clinton, Gore, and Growing List of High-Profile Political Leaders
NEW YORK - In his newest book, NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter, former President Jimmy Carter discusses his evolution in favor of gay people's freedom to marry and affirmed in an interview with the Huffington Post that he supports the freedom to marry, stating "I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies." Carter served as the 39th president of the United States, founded the Carter Center, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and is also a Sunday School teacher.
"President Carter's support for the freedom to marry is a real-life example of practicing what you preach. He has been married for over 65 years and cherishes marriage – and the Golden Rule he has taught in Sunday School for decades says we should treat others as we want to be treated," said Evan Wolfson, founder and President of Freedom to Marry, the campaign to win marriage nationwide. "President Carter understands that the love and commitment of marriage matters to gay and lesbian couples and their loved ones, just as to non-gay couples like Rosalynn and him, and that the law should respect us all. Ending marriage discrimination helps families, while hurting no one, and that's why the President, like so many Americans, has opened his heart and changed his mind to join the majority for marriage.''
President Carter joins a swelling number of high-profile political leaders in evolving to support the freedom to marry, including his Democratic successor in the White House, Bill Clinton, and fellow Nobel laureate, Al Gore. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released earlier this month shows that nationwide support for the freedom to marry continues to surge, including significant increases among African Americans, Independents, Republicans, southerners, and blue-collar workers. The poll confirms that the freedom to marry is already solidly supported by Democratic, Hispanic, and Catholic voters, and that in every region of the country, including the South, support for the freedom to marry is either equal to or greater than opposition.
Recently, twenty-two Democratic Senators, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, two state attorneys general, more than half a dozen co-chairs of President Obama's reelection campaign, the chair of this year's national Democratic Convention, and other prominent Democratic officials have all publicly endorsed Freedom to Marry's call to add a freedom to marry plank to the 2012 Democratic Party Platform. Freedom to Marry is urging other Americans to join them on its Democrats: Say I Do online petition, launched in February.
Independent media has become the last firewall against government and corporate lies. Yet, with frightening regularity, independent media sources are losing funding, closing down or being blacked out by Google and Facebook. Never before has independent media been more endangered. If you believe in Common Dreams, if you believe in people-powered independent media, please support our critical Winter campaign now and help us fight—with truths—against the lies that would smother our democracy. Please help keep Common Dreams alive and growing.
Freedom to Marry is the gay and non-gay partnership working to win marriage equality nationwide. Headed by Evan Wolfson, one of America's leading civil rights advocates and lawyers, Freedom to Marry brings new resources and a renewed context of urgency and opportunity to this social justice movement.

Mercury Usage: Mercury Nitrate was used to soften the thicker and coarser fur (guard hair) from a rabbit or hare. This was to make the finished felt hood as soft and fine as possible, before it was made into a hat for the obvious reason that it would be of a higher quality and price.
Mercury Poisoning: Mercury is acutely hazardous
as a vapor and in the form of its water-soluble salts, which corrode
membranes of the body. Chronic mercury poisoning, which occurs when small
amounts of the metal or its fat-soluble salts, particularly methyl
mercury, are repeatedly ingested over long periods of time, causes loss of memory,
irreversible brain, liver, and kidney damage. paralysis, mental
derangement and eventually death. In the United States it was referred to as
the Danbury shakes. Because of increasing water
pollution, significant quantities of mercury have been found in some
species of fish, which has aroused concern regarding uncontrolled
discharge of the metal into the environment. See these sites for more information:

Or the other explanation: Almost proverbial is the ten-gallon hat worn by Americans in the "Old West," particularly so in Texas. Its description is taken to refer to its enormous size, which would conform with all the other Texan superlatives. The implication, of course, is that the hat was so large that it could be filled with ten gallons of liquid. This is an error due to a linguistic "mix-up." In this case the gallon is not the unit of capacity, but the Spanish 'galon' for "braid." The hat is not Texan at all but stems from Mexico. When Spaniards occupied the country, they wore sombreros because the wide brims protected their faces from the burning sun. Spaniards' love of beauty made them embellish this utilitarian brim with braid. The more of it they used the happier they were. Some men thus wore a hat with ten different braids. Very accurately and without exaggeration, it was a 'ten galon hat'. When the Americans adopted the Spanish head covering, they acquired its Spanish name as well. Continuing to call it a ten gal(l)on hat, the Spanish ('galon') braid was soon misunderstand and mistaken for the liquid measure. This created the ten-gallon hat. source"Websters World Encyclopedia 1999"

Long division
Date: 6/16/96 at 15:30:49 From: chainsaw Subject: Long division I hate math. Please help me with this: 65423543 / 123654 + 1111 - 31235 Thanks a lot. Chainsaw
Date: 6/17/96 at 11:43:11 From: Doctor Dave Subject: Re: Long division Dear Chainsaw, If you stick with it until you get past all this long division and other arithmetic stuff you will get to the real MATH. That's when it gets fun. But learn the long divison now - it pays off in the long run. As for your problem, it is one of "order of operation": A/(B+C+D). Add all the stuff in the denominator first, then divide. 65423543 / (123654+1111 + 31235) = 65423543 / 93530 = 699.4926 If this problem had been in the form (a+b+c)/d you would add all the stuff in the numerator first and then divide. -Doctor Dave, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

A scientist at the Beijing Institute of Computing Technology (ICT) has described the future of its Godson microprocessor.
According to the report, in EE Times, Wei-wu Hu outlined a series of chips in the Godson family including a server processor.
The report says that there will be several more microprocessors built on a 65 nanometre process to be released this year, and the ICT intends to migrate the process straight to 28 nanometres in the next generation.
Godson's high end part – based on MIPS technology – has eight cores, a clock speed of up to 1GHz and eats up 40 watts, said EE Times. It is being built by ST Microelectronics and is 300 square millimetres. The chip is called the 464V and includes 200 instructions to emulate X86 CPUs.
Large Chinese manufacturer Dawning will use a 16 core Godson 3C to create a system capable of delivering petaflops.
