Inteligence Fusion Centers
October 9, 2009
Most people aren't aware of Fusion Centers, but the people who are, are wondering what they are and what they do! Are they part of the local, state, federal government, military? Do they collect information on militias, illegal aliens, big businesses who are doing illegal things, you, me? And who pays for them, communities, state, federal government, military? Are they privately owned? A lot of questions, but not many answers in the public media.
- Part of domestic surveillance system that incorporates private contractors, federal government, military, and local law enforcement
- Originally organized by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice
- Provide federal authorities with access to local databases and legally protected information concerning law-abiding citizens
- Often function with military liaisons and integrate with National Guard
- Often at undisclosed locations listing only post office boxes as physical addresses
- As of July 2009, approximately 72 fusion centers exist nationwide
The map data is believed to be current as of December 2010.

"Fusion center" is a generic term for entities which are designed to integrate federal intelligence efforts with the state and local authorities. As of July 2009, there are 72 fusion centers around the country and one in nearly every state. These entities work under the auspices of local law enforcement, often integrating with the state's police force, Department of Justice, or Office of Emergency Management. The fusion center integrates law enforcement intelligence activities throughout the jurisdiction, providing federal authorities access to local information and databases, while simultaneously allowing federal agencies to disseminate intelligence materials to local authorities. There are often federal representatives present in local fusion centers, either from civilian or military sources. The Department of Homeland Security lists 36 active field representatives as of July 2009 and a number of fusion centers are integrated with their state's National Guard through "liaison officers".
This combination of collection and dissemination creates a unique situation where larger federal agencies are able to simultaneously influence local law enforcement activities while gaining access to substantial amounts of private information on American citizens. An article from Time magazine in early 2009 notes that:
"New Mexico's All Source Intelligence Center, housed in an old National Guard building, has access to 240 state, regional and federal agencies and their databases, including agricultural and parks agencies, according to Peter Simonson, executive director of the state's ACLU chapter. Establishing what kinds of information is being processed by fusion centers can be difficult, Simonson says, since they do not store the records, or even collect them, but simply mine them through digital gateways. Records are accessed, not retained as they would be in specific case or investigative files. Simonson says the New Mexico chapter of the ACLU has filed several open records requests seeking to find out what kind of information is being reviewed, but has been stymied by the lack of a "material product."
The article also lists current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano as being instrumental in the formation of one of the first state fusion centers. The American Civil Liberties Union has published several reports which are highly critical of fusion centers, equating their operations with the formation of a domestic spy force. One of their reports states that:
If the federal government announced it was creating a new domestic intelligence agency made up of over 800,000 operatives dispersed throughout every American city and town, filing reports on even the most common everyday behaviors, Americans would revolt. Yet this is exactly what the Bush administration is trying to do with its little-noticed National Strategy for Information Sharing, which establishes state, local and regional "fusion centers" as a primary mechanism for the collection and dissemination of domestic intelligence.
The report goes on to note that a 2008 Los Angeles Police Department order required officers to collect information on the seemingly mundane, everyday behaviors of American citizen. "LAPD Special Order #11, dated March 5, 2008, states that it is the policy of the LAPD to 'gather, record, and analyze information of a criminal or non-criminal nature, that could indicate activity or intentions related to either foreign or domestic terrorism,' and includes a list of 65 behaviors LAPD officers 'shall' report." Some of the suspicious behaviors include taking notes, drawing diagrams and using binoculars.
Other fusion centers are listed in the report as having massive amounts of data on ordinary law-abiding citizens. The report states that:
"In addition to access to FBI and even CIA records, fusion centers often have subscriptions with private data brokers such as Accurint, ChoicePoint, Lexis-Nexus, and LocatePlus, a database containing cellphone numbers and unpublished telephone records. According to the article, fusion centers have access to millions of "suspicious activity reports" sent to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, as well as hundreds of thousands of identity theft reports kept by the Federal Trade Commission."
"Pennsylvania buys credit reports and uses face-recognition software to examine driver's license photos, while analysts in Rhode Island have access to car-rental databases. In Maryland, authorities rely on a little-known data broker called Entersect, which claims it maintains 12 billion records about 98 percent of Americans … Massachusetts … taps a private system called ClaimSearch that includes a "nationwide database that provides information on insurance claims, including vehicles, casualty claims and property claims."
There have also been a number of incidents involving fusion centers infiltrating protest groups. One example of this is the Washington Joint Analytical Center's infiltration of the Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, an antiwar group. John J. Towery, a Fort Lewis civilian contractor who worked for the Army's Fort Lewis Force Protection Unit, posed as an anarchist and was fed information on the group by the WJAC. A document released March 5, 2009 by Wikileaks.org demonstrates that Army Fusion Cells, which are organized by Force Protection Units, are part of a domestic police intelligence operation which is designed to work with local law enforcement to, among other things, "identify and prevent disruptive actions by private protestors".
The National Intelligence Strategy of 2009 argues for increasing this policy information sharing and eliminating the barriers between classified military intelligence and civilian law enforcement. In September 2009, Federal Computer Week reported that the Department of Defense will begin sharing some classified information with local law enforcement.

Newton's sincere advice
Newton's sincere advice
Three people
The next day, boss think three room need 25 enough only, ask little younger brother return 5 yuan give to 3 guests, who knows the little younger brother is greedy, only return each person 1 yuan, has taken 2 yuan stealthily, is equal to each of those three guests and spend 9 yuan respectively in this case by oneself, on
It was three people that spent 27 yuan altogether, in addition, the little younger brother pockets 2 yuan without sharing with anyone else, is 29 yuan altogether. But they pay 30 yuan altogether originally, have 1 yuan?
Point out the right way:
How could
Benefit intelligence enlightened views:
"Complicatedness in imagination of question. " Over several hundred years, Newton's sincere advice on everybody's lips of people. But in actual life, people are repeating this mistake constantly. Let " reed sea " There are many ones that swallowed up courage. Life is various, but really simple. Under many circumstances, seeing the question simply can help us and push over a lot of horizontally in the barrier on of succeeding on the road instead.
The chaining of case:
There is a pool capital entertainment company, build a large-scale amusement park, lie in the east of the flourishing city, with a very high standard, it is one of the largest comprehensive amusement parks of city. Construction of it take, for more than 5 years, cost 1 a hundred million yuan, cover an area of 20 hectares, it is an amusement center suitable for all ages.
This amusement park is a theme to travel in the park. All in the garden, fix up to recreational facilities to all embody a concentrated expression of one or several particular themes from the environment. In the theme park, consist of square, child's world, sea floor world, the future world in the centre. People retreat in the ancient times before several thousand years for a moment, come into the future world in imagination again for a moment; Sit in beacon Taizhong of the Great Wall of China for a moment, come under mysterious Pyramid of Egypt again for a moment; Roam on the broad sea floor world for a moment, soar in the space faraway for a moment. No matter where visitors go, always have a kind of sense on the spot in person.
But the designers have met the enormous difficult problem: Facility so many, range so heavy, road of garden how about design reasonable, easier to accept by visitor? Have engaged a lot of famous design companies including national architectural design to study the total institute to design in the amusement park, the result can't be satisfactory. Each professional personage is thinking: How on earth do I design? Day passes by day by day, there is no progress at all in the design work of the road, the passage of time makes people distressed endlessly. The company determines to call for bid to the society, give ample rewards to 300,000 and ask the scheme of the road. 30 days passed by, the design plan of participation like the snowflake comes, the persons who evaluate always shake the head helplessly, from hopeful to extremely disappointed again and again.
This day, the evaluation committee receives a letter. This letter has not provided the design drawing with complicated structure, but write very short, several very fewer lines: "Uncle's auntie of amusement park, I am a little girl 10 years old, like going to the amusement park to play. Papa and Mama said you were collecting the road scheme of the amusement park, I had asked Papa and Mama knew that wanted to repair the roads to let everybody go to each interesting place originally. The uncle in the amusement park auntie do not only repair the roads, draft on planting, let everybody walk at will, pass several month, see people oneself how to get to, where 's grass step on flat, repair according to that route. People will all select the convenient for walking way to go. "
This amusement park has built every road in the amusement park finally according to the child's words, attract nearly 20 million visitors every year. People walk on these distances, commend the design of way well, abundant

Roberts staying in Florida; Panthers GM says almost no chance for Leafs trade Demise of deal frees up Toronto to sign Mike Peca
[MET Edition]
Toronto Star - Toronto, Ont.
Abstract (Document Summary)
[Gary Roberts] asked for the trade to Toronto to be closer to his 16- year-old daughter, Jordan, who attends a local boarding school. Roberts and Jordan's mother, Tammy, divorced when Roberts was playing for the Leafs and Tammy has since moved back to Calgary. Roberts is remarried and has an infant son.
[Mike Keenan] originally said he would try to accommodate Roberts, but sources said he was concerned that giving in to Roberts would set a dangerous precedent. After all, Roberts negotiated a two-year deal last summer worth $2.25 million (all figures U.S.) a season that included a no-trade clause. He was also instrumental in helping to get a two-year deal with the Panthers for former Leaf and good friend Joe Nieuwendyk.

York Man Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 08, 2013
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that on April 8, 2013, Matthew David Siebrass, 27, of York, was sentenced to 10 years and one month (121 months) for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in the Lincoln and York areas between March 2011 and November 2011. Siebrass was also ordered to forfeit $1,837 in cash to the United States. Following the prison term, Siebrass will serve five years on supervised release.
Information provided to law enforcement indicated that Siebrass was responsible for the distribution of at least 500 grams (approximately 18 ounces) of methamphetamine during that time frame. In June 2011, Siebrass was stopped by a Nebraska State Patrol trooper for speeding on Interstate 80 on his way back to York. Prior to the stop, Siebrass was seen leaving a Lincoln residence suspected to be involved in the distribution of drugs. Siebrass was found to be in possession of approximately 1 ¾ ounces of methamphetamine, which Siebrass said he had obtained at the Lincoln residence. A search at that residence on the following day resulted in the finding of an additional ¼ ounce of methamphetamine. In September 2011, Siebrass was stopped by Lincoln Police officers after leaving the same Lincoln residence. A small amount of methamphetamine was found in his possession, along with $1,837 in cash.
The matter was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force, which includes officers of the Lincoln Police Department, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department, and by the Nebraska State Patrol.

I was sitting in the pews, feeling alone, yet surrounded by several hundred people. My life, up until that moment, was filled with pain and disappointment. I tried to do everything in my own strength, but found myself broken a little more each day.
But on this particular night I was given an invitation to surrender my heart and life to Jesus. I remember tears streaming down my face, my heart beating wildly, and I ran. I ran to the altar. I sobbed like a child, and I surrendered.
To read the rest, head on over to Unraveling Grace.

I just came across the Technology Tuesday writing meme and thought I'd share some of the tech-know-how I use on this web site.
If you've read any of my family pages, you may have noticed that I use a pseudo Register Style for the formatting. I call it pseudo Register Style because it doesn't include every style element in the NEHGS Register style. For more information on this style, visit the American Ancestors site.
Mainly, I follow the Register style when formatting names and child lists. When writing a family sketch, I put the first instance of the person's name in bold, small caps. I also use this format for their spouses. If you're using WordPress (a hosted install), you can format your family information like this, too!
You want the name to look like—Christoph Hacker. Here's how you would do it in the HTML code using the style option of the  element:
Christoph Hacker
Using  will apply the style to only the text between  and .
Childrens' names in the child list are also formatted in small caps, but not bold, and in a smaller font size. Here's how it looks—Johan Adam Hacker. And here's how you'd write it in HTML.
Johan Adam Hacker
The child lists are formatted using lower case Roman numerals and a smaller font size. If grandchildren are included in the list, their list is formatted with regular numerals, and their names are in italics. In a family sketch it looks like this.
- Andrew Hoover was born 25 Jan 1775 in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and died 20 Apr 1821 in German Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.9Andrew married Frances McClure on 14 Sep 1800 in Fayette County. She was born 20 Feb 1779 and died 16 Feb 1850. She was buried with her husband in the Harrison Graveyard. Andrew and Frances had children:
- Abraham4 Hoover was born 18 Nov 1801 and died 2 Sep 1807.
- Rebecca Hoover was born 6 Jun 1802 and died 26 Apr 1864. She married Nathaniel Darrall
To create this using CSS and HTML, you would apply the style information to the
 (ordered lists), as follows:

Andrew Hoover was born 25 Jan 1775 in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and died 20 Apr 1821 in German Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.9Andrew married Frances McClure on 14 Sep 1800 in Fayette County. She was born 20 Feb 1779 and died 16 Feb 1850. She was buried with her husband in the Harrison Graveyard. Andrew and Frances had five children:

Abraham4 Hoover was born 18 Nov 1801 and died 2 Sep 1807.

Rebecca Hoover was born 6 Jun 1802 and died 26 Apr 1864. She married Nathaniel Darrall

The children's
 uses the lower case roman numerals to number each
 (list item) and the grandchildren's
 uses the regular decimal to number each
. As you can see, you can also include the name formats within the list using the  just like above.
So, where, you ask, would I put all this CSS and HTML stuff? In WordPress, there are two tabs for the content box—Visual and HTML. The Visual shows you your post as if you're writing it in a text editor like Microsoft Word. The HTML tab shows what the text and it's formatting in HTML. It might look scary at first if you've never seen HTML. But you'll soon become accustomed to it.
That seems like a lot of HTML to type for each name and/or list, right? Right. You can simplify it by defining each format in your style.css file. Then you only need to add the format name to the class option in the  and
 elements, as follows:
Christoph Hacker

Andrew Hoover

Abraham Hoover

for the name and list formats. The code to put in your style.css file would look like this.
.name {
font-variant: small-caps;
font-weight: bold;
.child-name {
font-variant: small-caps;

Creating sockets may require more thought. Creation of, or binding to, Unix-domain sockets, for example, require a non-NULL rootvp against which to resolve the pathname of the socket. ANd I _think_ that rootvp is acquired via a process pointer, but I haven't looked carefully since before scheduler activations and lwps. All quite doable, but could be made rather cleaner with little effort.

Rescue SA deployed to DRC for plane crash scene
2010-06-24 15:00
A South African rescue team today left for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to help retrieve the remains of the victims of an airplane crash.
The plane, carrying the board of Australian mining firm Sundance Resources, crashed into a dense jungle in the DRC on Saturday.
"Rescue SA received an official request for assistance at the remote site of the tragic plane crash," Rescue SA director Ryan Noach said in a statement. "Rescue SA is the only fully trained and equipped rescue team in Africa capable of immediate deployment to major disasters."
According to reports, the bodies of the dead occupants cannot be retrieved due to the twisted wreckage of the aircraft.
The Rescue SA Team will arrive in Brazzaville, in the neighbouring Republic of the Congo, later this evening. The team of five includes search and rescue technicians as well as an expert in mortuary science. They have taken with them 250kg of specialised equipment to help extract the bodies.
The team expects to begin work first thing tomorrow morning.

Subscribers to chaos theory often refer to the butterfly effect when describing the potentially huge impacts that come from seemingly small variations in the status quo. The analogy suggests that the flapping of a distant butterfly's wings could create a hurricane weeks later.
Now, I'm not saying I expect gale force winds to come out of the current debate on global tax reform. But it is a good time to take a step back to think about how many of the tax reforms currently being debated around the world could have an operational impact on multinational corporations.
As of our last tally, the United States, Japan, China and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which counts fourteen major countries around the world among its membership, have all introduced, or are said to be planning, corporate tax reform initiatives this year. Ranging in scope from top line tax rate overhauls to more elaborate, globally harmonized transfer pricing rules, the new proposals make one thing abundantly clear: tax professionals are about to enter a period of profound uncertainty about global tax.
Much of the press coverage of these issues focuses on the headline numbers, like a possible reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% in the U.S., for example. But what has been less publicized is the fact that, in the U.S., these changes are meant to be revenue neutral. To achieve that, we're also likely see corporate tax deductions and breaks taken away, leaving the bottom line on the U.S. government's tax cut more or less unscathed. If you read between the lines, that means that a tax rate reduction will come with a lot of other changes, creating a ripple effect through the entire tax code.
But the bigger issue for many big businesses – particularly multinationals – will not be whether the final tax rate is a few percentage points higher or lower. It will be the path they need to take to get there. The process of accommodating any of the changes we mentioned above will be laborious and complicated. Not to mention that any significant corporate tax rate change is going to have an impact on forecasting, planning and financial reporting, and could even change the value of tax assets.
These kinds of changes will also send ripple-effects throughout a corporate tax department. If, for example, the corporate tax rate in the U.S. were reduced to 25%, most people would expect a switch to flip overnight and, suddenly, the new tax rates would take effect. But it doesn't always work that way. Historically, tax rates haven't just changed in a vacuum. A major change like the one being discussed is typically implemented over a period of time. There are not a lot of precedents to work with, so no one really knows exactly how that phase-in will occur. And even once that schedule comes out, the guidance on how to apply those changes within the corporate tax department could come quite a ways behind it.
There are many historical reference points for changes to the corporate tax code, but few have been as sweeping and as global as what we're seeing right now. Some of the bigger issues we know our clients are already thinking about include:
The announcement of a reform is really just the first step. The lag-time between the passing of the law and the publication of the guidance from the IRS can be painful for tax professionals. It leaves them in a sort of limbo where they know they will have to make changes, but don't know exactly what those changes will need to be. It's anyone's guess how long this could take, especially given the uncertainly on IRS functions and the recent government shutdown.
State and local governments will also need to accommodate the changes in their budgets as a trickledown effect of some of the provisions required to reach a revenue neutral change. We saw this happen not too long ago with new mandates for bonus depreciation, which resulted in some states following federal guidance, some rejecting the changes outright and others creating a hybrid approach. And at the end of all of this, corporate tax departments will bear the burden of sorting through all of the federal and state positions on any change to incorporate them into their workflows.
These changes, and other like them, will carry significant impacts and risk for both corporations and the government as we navigate this new territory and make our best assumptions as to how this will play out for both parties. Now, more than ever, tax professionals need to keep a close eye on regulatory changes, continue to communicate closely with their CFOs and work with their accounting firms to make sure they are ready to take action as changes get implemented.

Geum rivale is Water avens.
There are various forms of it, G.r. snowflake is obviously white and G.r. Leonard's Var. is a double red. G.r. Lemon Drop is a nice pale yellow. Dead easy in damp soil. Need to assiduously dead head or the can seed around and the seed heads do cling to clothes rather badly.
04 Sep 2014 15:08
Many thanks Berghill - the one I've seen online is a reddish flower,must be the wild variety? I thought it looked nice but was concerned it might be thuggish since its close relative Wood Avens is invasive. I hear they hybridise readily too.
04 Sep 2014 16:37
If you keep it dead headed then they are not root invasive like some things. They will seed around and yes they are promiscuous, so there are lots of new named things around. Many of them not much different from each other.
04 Sep 2014 17:11
Did I send you some of those seeds Fishy, ?they are here.
They are called Geum rivale.
I have seeds for Miscanthus sinensis, (silvef grass)has anyone grown these for around the pond any info please?

I was going to buy some Geum Rivale seeds Lyn yes Or at least was thinking about it.
05 Sep 2014 00:40

Vincent Perronet (1693-1785)
Vincent Perronet was born in London, the son of a Swiss surgeon. He was educated at Queen's College Oxford and after ordination served a curacy at Sundridge in Kent before being appointed Vicar of Shoreham in 1728.
Perronet was introduced to John Wesley in 1744 and soon became one of the closest associates and advisors of the Wesley brothers. He attended the Conference of 1747 and his influence as an elder statesman of the evangelical movement, is reflected in the fact that he was sometimes referred to as the Archbishop of Methodism.
His sons Edward (1721-92) and Charles (1723-76) both served as Methodist itinerant preachers but broke away in later life. Edward Perronet wrote the hymn 'All Hail the Power of Jesu's Name'.

Ron Paul, Fargo And A Super TuesdayMaking PicturesMarch 7th, 2012
Yesterday was a super Super Tuesday here in Fargo, North Dakota. Before I get ahead of myself, I should note that former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum won the most votes in North Dakota's statewide Republican caucuses. I've had the opportunity to photograph Mr. Santorum and Mitt Romney in recent weeks. I was thrilled when I learned that presidential hopeful Ron Paul planned a stop in Fargo during an area-caucus event. I photographed Mr. Paul at least once years ago for the local newspaper during a visit to North Dakota State University.
Politicians interest me. People interest me. How people respond and react to elected leaders, especially those on the national level, really interests me. I respect any process that brings people together to discuss similar and dissimilar views.
A couple of notes on my approach to photographing Super Tuesday. I brought one camera body, two lenses [24mm and 85mm] and one strobe. I wanted to be mobile and keep things simple. I also went into the event with an intention of being more relaxed about image making. My purpose was to convey an overall sense of the gathering. I wandered around far more than I normally would and spent time chatting with lots of people. The outing was satisfying and even entertaining.
Enjoy the photos and thanks for stopping by. – Ann
P.S. If Newt Gingrich visits Fargo, I would happily photograph his event as well.

I think that both are equally important. One of the things we should do to prevent this from happening is make sure we don't have corrupt, dishonest people in positions of responsibility for preventing it. Of course, that will probably require another Presidential election.
It sounds to me like you want to whitewash this administration's incompetence and impropriety.

The Cure
CRAAB! educates, advocates and celebrates women's health and the struggle to understand breast cancer
By Brianna Snyder/Women@Work
Joan Sheehan was diagnosed with breast cancer 25 years ago, when she was 46 years old. She had to have a mastectomy, and because she'd also been diagnosed with lymphedema — a condition that causes swelling from fluid retention — reconstruction surgery would've been too challenging; Sheehan worried the lymphedema might be exacerbated by the procedure.
"I was an elementary-school teacher at the time," says Sheehan, now 71. "If anything can get your mind off of things, it's third grade."
But while many would have put off thinking actively about the disease they just conquered, Sheehan took a different approach. Today, she is a founding member and president of Capital Region Action Against Breast Cancer! (CRAAB!), a nonprofit organization that promotes education and advocacy for women's health and provides support services for women dealing with cancer.
"If someone is newly diagnosed, we go to their home and tell them what resources are out there to help them make decisions and we try to help them know what questions to ask," Sheehan says. "If they have no one to go with them (to the doctor), we go as a scribe. We're there to write everything down so that they don't forget anything. And so they're not alone."
CRAAB! also facilitates fitness and wellness classes for breast-cancer prevention. Sheehan says exercise is vital to staving off cancer.
"We're big on showing that exercise is one of the main things you can do to decrease risk of breast cancer," Sheehan says. To make more exercise options available to women, CRAAB! hires certified instructors in various disciplines, including yoga in three different locations in the region, Pilates and NIA ("which is a more rigorous routine," Sheehan says, involving aerobic moves, dance steps and tai chi). The group also sponsors exercise programs that open up the lymphatic system for people who have lymphedema, which helps reduce swelling, says Sheehan. And then in April, CRAAB! starts its walking program at the Crossings park in Colonie.
CRAAB! was launched in 1997 by women who'd suffered with cancer, either as patients or caregivers, and by women interested in women's health. Two of the driving forces behind CRAAB! were Dr. Patricia Brown, who died from breast cancer in 2004, and Dr. Bonnie Spanier, who still serves on the board today. Both were professors of biology, though Dr. Spanier taught women's studies as well. They were the ones who really pushed CRAAB! into existence, says Sheehan.
Sheehan initially got involved as a facilitator of a lymphedema support group in the Capital Region. "I saw that this was something big, that it was going in a direction I wanted to go in." She'd been working in fundamentally the same way CRAAB! works now, employing in her lymphedema group "the three main facets of what I wanted to do: education, support and advocacy."
While CRAAB! is firmly established in the community, Sheehan says it's still a struggle to let people know about the organization's services. "That's very hard to do," Sheehan says.
"It's a lot of word of mouth — people letting you know what's out there."
Which is a big reason why being chosen by the Women's Business Council of Albany as 2012's "Adopted Nonprofit Program" is a big deal for CRAAB!. "Being chosen this year by the Women's Business Council has given us a big platform to let people know who we are and what we do," Sheehan says. (The Council has selected one nonprofit every year since 2002 to "adopt," providing its members opportunities to volunteer and helping the adopted organization spread awareness about what it is and what it does.)
Currently, CRAAB! consults with just shy of 40 women a year, a number Sheehan hopes to increase. And that shouldn't be too difficult, considering the breadth of services CRAAB! provides. It hosts workshops for women preparing for chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, alternative-therapy support groups and even provides life coaches available for support and counseling. CRAAB! also offers any woman who calls packets of literature on health, statistics and other resources, including instructions on how to read reports from an oncologist or pathologist.
"Hopefully, we're able to allay some of their fears and let them know that they do have time to make an informed decision," Sheehan says. "It's a terrible thing to be diagnosed when you're healthy. … All of a sudden, now you're not healthy. You start to feel like, 'How does that happen if I feel fine? How can this be?' It really helps to have someone with you. It can be a tough time."

Why the crab, you ask?
According to CRAAB.org, the acronym for the community center fits not only the organization's name but also its spirit. In Latin, "cancer" means "crab" (and if you were born between June 22 and July 22, your astrological sign is Cancer, represented by a crab). The site goes on to quote the Greek physician Hippocrates, who "first compared the swollen blood vessels radiating from some breast tumors to the limbs of a crab."
The crab is also a good representative of the group's mission, the site continues. "In its natural habitat, a crab is a fast, resilient decapod crustacean that springs to action, moves in multiple directions, and is sensitive to its surroundings. Like a crab, our CRAAB! members and volunteers move quickly and in several directions to respond to the many issues that relate to breast cancer."
Tips For Staying Cancer-Free
Stay Active: Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
Stay Clean: "Take a real good look at the products you use on your face and on your body," Sheehan says. "There are many chemicals in the things that we use as makeup or as body lotions that contain what are called xenoestrogens acting like estrogen in the body." (Studies show too much estrogen can cause cancer.)
Stay Informed: Sheehan says to avoid BPA and other toxins from plastic bottles. Check the labels at the bottom of your bottles — not all of them can be used more than once; many need to be recycled when you're finished with them.

Memory has its own mysteries. Some things are clearly remembered, even if not particularly relevant. Others are shrouded in fog, so dense we cannot reach them, no matter how hard we try. I do not know when my love for Port blossomed, and perhaps never will, unless the passing of years fills that gap with a false memory. That is, at least, how we start to remember so many things as we age.
I know that like so many of the best things in life, it was an acquired taste. Oh, but what a taste! Oh, but what a smell! If Champagne with its elegance and bubbly seduction, is the queen of spirits, then Port wine is the king. At least, I always looked upon Port as belonging to the nobility of spirits. It has a full-bodied noticeable presence, a strong character that can sometimes be austere; other times mellow and others, still extremely seductive. And all of this combined with supreme statesman-like elegance.
I love it in every inflection, and pleasure can be found even when least expected. Have you ever eaten roasted pork with port wine sauce and dried plums? Surely you should, but please do not expect to find a vintage sauce (Ruby Port does the trick). And have you ever tried "drunk pears"? Well, if not, that is another divine pleasure you are missing out on. And what about a nice dry White Port with tonic? I bet it beats gin & tonic by far. And who said LBVs are "lesser" Vintages? Just try a nice one, unfiltered and not stabilized before bottling, and confirm its ability to age beautifully (by the way, I am delightfully sipping 2005 Quinta do Noval LBV as I am writing this post).
Oh, but I do love a good old Vintage! How could I not? But, even so, there are two other Port categories which I both love and admire. The first is 20 Year Old Tawny Ports, because keeping them balanced and fresh requires a true master blender, which is something that cannot be taught in books. It is pure artistry.
The other is aged single vintage tawnies known as Colheita. To understand why, let me take you on a small tour around the Douro and the making of Port. Douro is one of the hardest places in this world to grow grapes. With precipitous slopes descending to the river, vineyards have been built on steep terraces carved into the hillsides. This involves a huge stone-breaking effort, for the land is hard and mainly made out of schist. The climate is harsh, with low temperatures in the winter and three months during summer of high temperatures of 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.
Most importantly, due to terrace width and steep inclinations, the machinations of the industrial revolution cannot operate in Douro. And the entire vintage is handled by men and women alike under harsh vintage conditions. The grapes are then, as has been done for centuries, mostly foot trodden in granite "lagares". As you can imagine, this is a very labor intensive process. And it does not end there. The wine is then carried downriver to Vila Nova de Gaia, (on the south bank of the Douro River, facing Porto), where it is stored in the famous Port lodges. In the old days, the path was done by boat, and the barrels were loaded and unloaded by hand.
By now, you must be thinking that up to this point, I am not making any sense, since this is a common process to almost all Port wine. The thing is, imagine going to all these lengths to produce Port wine and then picking your best wine and aging it for decades in wood, instead of transferring it to bottles after 2-3 years to make Vintage Port. You will not be able to sell it quickly, and you will lose 2 to 3% of the wine per year in the first years through evaporation, and then keep losing at a smaller and slower rate afterwards, year after year after year. And now imagine leaving it there until your grandchildren are of age, or the grandchildren of your grandchildren, without knowing if the wine is going to make it so far, to make matters worse.
I believe that, at the same time the angels take their share of the wine, what is concentrated is not only the flavor but also the pain, the joy, the passion and life of all those who produced the wine and tended to it ever
since. And this is what you end up relishing when you taste such a wine. It is not even wine anymore, it is a piece of history in liquid, an homage to humanity produced by thousands of hands over the years. I have had the privilege of tasting a few of these wines. In fairness to them and to all those who produced them, I will name the two that always come to my mind, Andresen Colheita 1910 and Niepoort VV.
May you also experience a similar pleasure, and share the collective history of my people.

Would you mind introducing yourself and telling us what instruments you play?
My name is Ben McMaster and I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist. I write what I think you could classify as alternative/pop/rock songs. That's a lot of slashes!
Artist discography.
"That Was Close EP". Available now on iTunes,
Napster and other online retailers, is just now
getting radio airplay. My next aim is to have an official launch.
How long have you been a solo artist?
Too long. About 5 years.
Do you work with other musicians or are you purely a solo artist?
I work with whoever wants to work with me. I am not against the idea of starting a band.
Who are the musicians in your (live and/or recording) band?
I was working with a guitarist for about a year and a half and we parted ways before I started work on "That Was Close EP". I needed a tighter sound. I worked with a piano player, a cellist, a violinist/viola player and a drummer. My engineer and I played the bass and guitar parts. All vocals are mine.
What made you decide to be a solo artist and not want to be in a band?
As I said, I have no objection to being in a band. I think you need the right people before you go for the right sound. I just haven't met the right people yet.
Did you always want to be in a band when you were growing up?
I wanted to be everything.
What music did you listen to while growing up?
Whatever my mum liked. It wasn't until I left high school that I truly developed my own taste. The Beatles were the first band that helped me discover the power of modern music. U2 and Radiohead have sustained that.
How long have you played your instruments?
Five years.
What was your first guitar?
A small acoustic. I remember buying a new one because it was too small for my mutant fingers.
What is your current equipment?
Just myself and an acoustic for gigs. If I have other people playing, I might play a semi-acoustic.
Are you self taught or did you have lessons?
If you had an unlimited equipment budget what would be on your shopping list?
That would unleash a power too great and terrible to imagine.
Do you use the same equipment live as you do when in a studio?
I use whatever I can get my hands on. In any situation.
Do you record at a purpose built studio or do you record at home with portable digital equipment or pc/mac with audio software?
I record outside home.
Any new recordings planned?
Planned, no. In my head, yes.
Do you try to capture your 'live' sound on recordings or do you think that the 'live' sound and recorded sound should be different experiences for your fans?
I think it's a balance. When playing things live, there needs to be less analysis of the music, more about the experience, I think.
Do you have any favourite tracks on your album?
I still like "That Was Close" as a slow-building rock song, but "Lies In Wait" has a kind of centre of gravity to it.
Do you write songs/tracks only about personal experiences?
Which countries would be at the top of your list to tour?
Ooh, good question. Probably all of Europe, all of the UK, USA, Canada, Japan...who knows!
Whoever likes my music. That's a good answer.
Do you find song writing easy or difficult?
I find it to be the most natural thing in the world. Of all aspects of music, it's probably the thing I enjoy the most. And my source of inspiration could be anything. These days, I've taken to a "let's see what happens" approach in which a melody will come and that will be one part and then I wait for another part of the song. Lyrical content is usually free-flowing. I don't apply subject matter to song until after it's written. Then I may tweak words.
Is there anyone who you would like to collaborate with on writing songs or performing?
What, famous people? Sure. Bono, Neil Finn, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Thom Yorke. Ever heard of a band called Augie March? The best band in Australia. I'd love to write lyrics with their lead singer, Glenn Richards.
Who are your favourite song writers?
I think I just mentioned them. I'm quite impressed with a couple of other modern artists, such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Muse, The Killers, The Panics, Hoosiers, Coldplay, Feist.
How do you promote your music and get your music to new fans?
Any means possible. Gigs are not a very financially viable option for me at the moment. I have been doing internet promotion for a long time, as well as simply meeting new people and putting them onto my music. I'm good at that.
Do you use any websites like 'Reverbnation' or 'Soundclick'?
I'm with both of those, but I don't use them often.
There are a couple of others like them that I have found useful: Number One Music, Worldsings, iSound, Amie Street. Even standard ones like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. Especially YouTube.
Do you think the internet overall is a good or bad thing for new artists?
Overall, good. I think internet radio is probably the best of it.
Do you think such sites are good for independent and unsigned artists?
They can be. It depends on what the artist does with them. The problem, I find, is that consumers are so quick to change social networking sites that the artist becomes confused and has to start over again, which can cost time and money. The best thing for an unsigned act is to become signed.
Would you sign with a major record company?
If the deal's right, yes.
What would you call your style of music?
As mentioned before, Alternative/Pop/Rock.
How do you relax?
I don't.
What's your best/worst experience at a gig?
One venue in Footscray, Melbourne, called "The Nic" had me on. I had a band, but it was not a very focussed band. And the venue operators were horrible to us. That was the worst it got. But at the same gig, just when it looked like nobody would show, about thirty of my friends turned up. That was a good thing.
Do you get nervous before a gig- how do you calm down?
I don't get nervous any more. I make sure I'm in a constructive state of mind. It's not as hard as you think. I think it's like anything; practice makes perfect.
What is your day job if you have one?
Would you like to be a full time working musician or are you happy with things as they are?
I would like to be a full-time working musician.
Has your music been used on any film soundtracks?
Not yet, no, but that could be a possibility.
Is there anything you'd like to add?
I would just like to add that I am very grateful for this opportunity to be interviewed and I look forward to sharing it with fans of my music very soon. God bless and peace out!

Residents in Worksop are being urged to donate blood to keep stocks healthy through the autumn months.
NHS Blood and Transplant says the need for blood is constant in September as children head back to school and people return to work.
Blood use within the NHS has reduced as a result of improvements in clinical and surgical practices. However hospitals and patients still rely on more than 7,000 people attending a donation session every day across England and North Wales.
Holly Mason, lead donor relations manager for NHS Blood and Transplant, said: "We need to maintain healthy blood stocks all year round to make sure patients get the blood they need whenever they need it."
"Some of our donors might have recently been abroad to somewhere that means they need to take a short break from donating."
"So whether you've donated before or are thinking about giving blood for the first time, check out if your foreign holiday has affected whether you can donate now."
"If you can donate, please book an appointment to give blood and save lives. You never know when you or your loved one may need a life saving transfusion."
It is important that vital blood stocks are maintained at all times, as red blood cells have a shelf life of just 35 days and platelets have a shelf life of only seven days. NHS Blood and Transplant needs to collect enough blood in the right quantities to meet patient needs and regular donors are crucial in enabling them to do so.
Blood is always required to treat patients for a range of reasons. It is used in accidents and emergencies but also during surgery and treatment for cancer and blood disorders, like sickle cell anaemia.
To find out if your summer holiday has affected whether you can donate now, visit www.my.blood.co.uk/KnowledgeBase/Travel.
You can register as a donor, find out when a session is upcoming up in your area and book an appointment to donate at www.blood.co.uk.
There is an upcoming session at The Crossing Church & Centre on Newcastle Street on Wednesday 24th September between 12.15-15.00 and 16.30-19.15.
Anyone aged between 17-65, weighing more than 50 kg and in general good health could potentially start saving lives by becoming a blood donor.

World Peace Game
May 7th, 2011 by Zachary
Here is an amazing talk given by John Hunter about how he teaches 4th graders to solve problems. Here is the description of the talk from the TED website:
John Hunter puts all the problems of the world on a 4'x5′ plywood board — and lets his 4th-graders solve them. At TED2011, he explains how his World Peace Game engages schoolkids, and why the complex lessons it teaches — spontaneous, and always surprising — go further than classroom lectures can.

Posted by Ion Saliu on November 16, 2000.
In Reply to: Test Ion Saliu Roulette-System posted by Lutz on November 16, 2000.
: Hallo,
: some times ago I posted a message to this forum regarding the roulette system of Ion
: Saliu.
: My first impressions were very good, and I have thought to have found the holy grail.
: Unfortunately after testing on real spins the tests have shown that the roulette system in this form
: is not a consisting winning gambling system.
: I am very disapointed - but the truth has to be published.
: Mr. Saliu don't accept my test - it seems that he is too much identified with his "creation".
: He has never published a test over longtime by himself.
: It is a pitty.......
: Lutz
First of all, you broke a legally binding document. Not long ago, you wanted more roulette, especially roulette strategies from me because you have a friend who is a programmer. You and your friend wanted to add features to my strategy. Meanwhile, you signed a document stating that you would not show my roulette gambling system to anybody. I expressed my anger at you, and you did not take it well. Today, in an email, I asked you to destroy any forms of my strategy - in writing or on your computer. As soon as I receive the written confirmation, I will send your money back. But you will not be off the hook. You will have no right to present my strategy to anybody. We live in two separate jurisdictions, but the arm of the law is long.
As of your tests, they have no validity whatsoever. You mix different tables: You mix parallel events with sequential events. I am not sure you understand this fact at all: You play at one table at a time! If you play at more tables, you keep track of the spins separately, and apply the strategy separately. Even under those flawed circumstances, you have NOT shown any evidence of a loss! You have no evidence of a loss! You are in this situation. Yes, there is a probability for "Heads" to come out 100 times in a row. There are some that will be willing to wait a lifetime for that event to occur in order to prove something. Besides, I honestly describe in my systems the 1 in 1000 losing situations.
You have the right to express your opinion. The way you just did it does not conflict with the law. That will always be the case as long as you do not offer any detail on my systems. I don't think I need to mention that you are not allowed to use the systems any longer. Of course, they are so bad that you already discarded of them!
I'm learning a good lesson. Indeed, in other cases, some were able to force my hand by sending me cash. They certainly realized I was a man of integrity. You followed the same path. Prior to your order, you simply "bugged" me with a sequence of irritating gambling questions. I stopped responding to your emails, actually I blocked your emails. Then, out of the blue, I received your cash. From now on, cash or not cash, the envelopes will be disregarded if I so decided. The cash will surely end up in a trash bin at the post office. I think I did it before. To whom it may concern: Never, ever send cash. It may well end up as trash.

Don't panic, holdups with Kaman, Collison and Terry are not signs of trouble
The Mavericks are hopeful that one of their transactions will be officially completed this afternoon, probably the sign and trade of Ian Mahinmi to Indiana for Darren Collison and Dahntay Jones.
The NBA is expected to give its blessing to the deal in a conference call and the deal will be done.
As for Chris Kaman, who has agreed to a one-year, $8-million contract, that deal probably won't be finalized until Friday morning.
In regard to outgoing players, Jason Terry still hasn't signed with Boston, but that deal has been agreed upon. Apparently, the only holdup is whether the Mavericks can figure out a way to sign-and-trade Terry rather than simply losing him in free agency for nothing.
It might be a way to get Terry a few more dollars, and it might net the Mavericks a second-round draft pick or something like that for the future.
Either way, it won't stop the departure of Terry. He's a Celtic. It's just a matter of how that deal gets completed.
The Mavericks have not been able to comment on their incoming players because the deals are not official.

Whether you're a pod racer, a pilot for the Rebel Alliance, royalty or just a vanilla Jedi Knight, one thing is for certain: if you plan on departing from the Star Tours terminal at Disney's Hollywood Studios beginning May 20, 2011, you are going to need proper documentation and that means your very own Official Galactic Passport.
By visiting StarToursPassport.com, you can apply for — and instantly download — your very own custom Official Galactic Passport (* some assembly required). Connecting to your FaceBook account, simply select your role in the Star Wars universe, select a FB photo (or upload your own), fill out the form with your vitals and you're ready to travel to Hoth, Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant, Kashyyyk and even the Death Star.

Welcome to Thunderstone (Murungul Gurubung) Aboriginal Cultural and Land Management Services' (TACLMS) website.
Murungul meaning "thunder" and Gurubung meaning "stone" in Ngunawal language.
Thunderstone (Murungul Gurubung) has been established to accurately reflect the past, present (and future) culture of the Ngunawal people. As with many other Aboriginal cultures, the Ngunawal people have passed down traditional knowledge from generation to generation through word of mouth and Dreamtime stories. Through this website, the Ngunawal people hope to educate the wider community about the rich history and cultural practices of the Ngunawal people, as well as impart the importance of preserving and protecting this culture from being lost or destroyed. We all can play a part in ensuring that Ngunawal culture exists for future generations.
I would like to be able to do some things now that in the long term will be of benefit to the younger generation of Aboriginal people that hopefully will follow in my footsteps and carry on the culture that I hold so dear. I can only hope that my small contribution can make it just a little easier for them to achieve their goals
- Ngunawal elder Don Bell (snr) (deceased).

Vlatko Stefanovski and Miroslav Tadic
MA Recordings
World (Balkan/Flamenco/Jazz/Blues Instrumental)
I first read about this album in "Audio" magazine, where it was touted as one of the finest recordings of acoustic guitar the reviewer had ever heard.
The album was recorded direct to two-track digital (96k on custom built equipment) in a Macedonian memorial in the town of Krushevo, and features two of the most skilled and versatile guitarists from the region, Vlatko Stefanovski and Miroslav Tadic.
The songs use the region's folk music as a starting point for exploration and conversation between the two guitarists, employing odd (to western ears) time signatures and scales, sometimes rendered at blinding speed but never sacrificing feeling.
If you like the John McLaughlin/Paco De Lucia sessions, you owe it to yourself to try this one out.
(Samples are available at the MA Recordings website. There are also several videos (in the usual places) of their live performances).

Wilton's Hendry breaks scoreless deadlock to defeat Darien field hockey
Updated 10:23 pm, Wednesday, September 19, 2012
WILTON -- Two titans of FCIAC field hockey engaged in another tightly-contested battle Wednesday afternoon at Wilton High School. With Wilton's Lizette Roman-Johnston and Darien's Danica Hornick putting on a clinic in goaltending for their teams, many scoring opportunities came and went over the first 43 minutes with neither team able to light the scoreboard.
Suddenly, with 16:47 remaining, the Warriors finally created the break they needed during a scramble in front of the Darien cage. Wilton's Madison Hendry took a shot and was stopped by Hornick, but she collected her own rebound and likely would have scored had it not been for a Darien defender illegally batting the ball out of the air.
Hendry was awarded a penalty shot, which she converted with a hard shot to the bottom right corner of the Darien cage for a 1-0 win.
"I've done a lot of corners before, and I knew that even if I missed this goal my team would be there for me," Hendry said. "I was very relaxed and just did what I had to do. I've practiced that shot for a while."
With time winding down, Darien began to assert itself on Wilton's side of the field, but Roman-Johnston made some difficult saves to rob some of Darien's biggest offensive threats, including Erika Osherow, Claire Culliton and Hollis Perticone.
Latest Sports Video
"This is kind of proof that it wasn't a fluke last time," Roman-Johnston said, referring to Wilton's upset of Darien in last year's state tournament. "We have a lot of experience with this type of game. We knew that we had to stay strong the entire game."
But Roman-Johnston, who stopped all 13 of Darien's shots, wasn't the only goalie to come up with some clutch saves, as Hornick stopped six of Wilton's seven shots. Hornick's save of the night came with time running out in the first half, as she reacted quickly to stick out her right leg for a kick save, robbing Wilton's Joanne Nazareth.
"It's a great rivalry and I think both teams have nothing but the most of respect for each other and it was a great battle today," Darien coach Mo Minicus said. "(Wilton) won the 50-50 battle, and we had some beautiful opportunities but we just didn't execute."
Wednesday was the second straight time Wilton bested Darien by a single goal, having also picked up a 3-2 victory in sudden death overtime during last year's Class M tournament en route to being crowned state champs. Hendry did not play in last year's state tournament clash due to an injury.
Wilton got the win in spite of Darien getting off more shots (13-7). Both teams were awarded seven penalty corners.
The Wave and Warriors entered play with a combined record of 4-0 and had outscored their opposition by a combined score of 21-0. As fellow FCIAC powerhouses, both teams know they may not have seen the last of each other.
"My dream since like sixth grade to beat Darien has finally come true. It feels amazing to be able to do it with this great team I have," Hendry said. "This is definitely going to give us a lot of confidence going into the next game and states and FCIACs, and it's just up from here."
"I told the girls this is just a fun game. All it is is bragging rights at this point. It's early on in the season, so this is no reflection on what's going to happen at the end of the season," Minicus said. "In a way, losing shows our weaknesses. It's very humbling and I think it'll be a great lesson for the girls."
Wilton 1, Darien 0
Records: Darien (2-1); Wilton (3-0).
Goals: W--Madison Hendry. Goalies: D--Danica Hornick (6 saves); W--Lizette Roman-Johnston (13). Shots: D--13; W--7.
