Customs staff sacked in race probeAugust 18, 2010
Seven Revenue and Customs staff have been sacked for racially abusing non-nationals who claimed child benefit, it has been revealed.
All nine were based at an HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) contact centre in Belfast. It is understood they were accused of tampering with computer records, which meant a number of people from ethnic minority backgrounds living in various parts of the UK were paid less money than they were entitled to. All have now been fully imbursed. The resignations and sackings of the nine men followed an internal investigation into allegations of racially-motivated conduct going back to the second half of last year. It is understood the nine men were suspended once the investigation started, but two quit immediately.

Our Coin Buyers Purchase:
We regularly purchase US coins, foreign coins, paper money and bullion material from coin collectors across the country. We buy rare coin collections of all types and sizes, and offer free appraisals on all collections our buyers examine for purchase.
Being professional coin dealers, our staff works hard to make the strongest offer possible on every coin collection we evaluate. Unlike other coin dealers, we do not "cherry pick" collections - our buyers are interested in the most common and mundane coins, as well as the rarest and most esoteric pieces.
If you're considering selling your coin collection, bullion or paper money, or are interested in learning more about how selling to American Rarities can benefit you, please contact us.
As coin dealers, we are constantly looking to buy from coin collectors to meet our clients' rare coin needs. To facilitate this, we provide free appraisals for all rare coin collections we inspect for potential purchase. We are interested in all coins with extra collectible or bullion value - US and world, ancient and modern, common or rare. Our expert buyers are ready to view your collection and make you an immediate, no-obligation offer.
The first step of getting an appraisal and offer on your rare coins is to provide us with information about your collection. It's as easy as emailing us pictures or an inventory list of your coins (partial lists are fine), or just telling us what you have over the phone. One of our expert coin buyers will follow up with you about any questions we may have or further information we need. He will then price your collection, using all available resources to ensure an accurate appraisal.
Once the appraisal is completed, we can determine the best way to arrange the purchase of your collection. This involves either a personal meeting with one of our rare coin buyers, or shipping your coins in to us for sale. In either case, you are guaranteed the highest value possible for your rare coin collection.
In many cases, our rare coin dealers can come to you. Our buyers regularly travel throughout the country attending coin shows, as well as appraising and purchasing collections from private coin collectors just like you. The collection does not need to be organized or presented in any particular manner - we will examine every coin, album or set in turn, in whatever order they may be in. Once our evaluation is complete, we will make you an offer for your coins on the spot. Immediate payment is standard.
It is not always possible to visit everyone who has coins to sell. Some collections are too small to warrant a visit, or in other cases the travel expense is prohibitive.
To address this issue, American Rarities offers a fully insured mail-in service. You can ship your coins directly to our office, fully insured, and our buyers will appraise your material. Immediate payment is customary, and if you decide not to sell, we will return your collection at our expense.
American Rarities also buys gold and silver bullion, US paper currency, fine watches and jewelry, old US stamp collections, and much more.
We are collectors at heart, and appreciate more than just rare coins. If you, or a collector you know, have other collectibles you wish to sell, please advise us as to the nature of your collection. We will get back to you with detailed information you need to understand the true value of your collectible treasures.
If you are ready to sell your rare coin collection, or have questions that need answers, then assistance is just a click or phone call away. To send us an email, simply fill out this form to tell us a little about what you have. You can also reach us, toll free, at 1-800-622-5680.

VIDEO: Coach Meyer Tuesday Press Conference
COLUMBUS, Ohio– The 15 practice days that make up the 2014 Ohio State University football spring drills start Tuesday, March 4 and will extend through the LiFE Sports Spring Game, presented by Nationwide, on April 12. The Buckeyes will practice on these days:
A total of 93 individuals are on Ohio State's spring roster, which includes 39 returning lettermen from last season's 12-2 team that played in the Big Ten championship game and the Discover Orange Bowl. A total of 12 starters off the 2013 team's offense (five) and defense (seven) return. (Note: the updated spring roster will be available online Tuesday.)
Returning starters from an offense that set a Big Ten record for most rushing yards (4,321), ranked fifth nationally in rushing (308.6 yards per game) and shattered school records for points scored (637), touchdowns (87) and touchdown passes (38) are senior quarterback Braxton Miller, senior tight end Jeff Heuerman, senior receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer, and junior tackle Taylor Decker.
The seven returnees on defense include everyone who started along the front line – senior Michael Bennett, juniors Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington and sophomore Joey Bosa – plus linebackers Curtis Grant, a senior, and junior Joshua Perry (who shared starts with nickel back/safety Tyvis Powell), and senior cornerback Doran Grant.
Sophomore punter Cameron Johnston, who led the Big Ten in punting with a 44.0 average, also returns.
A new foundation
The Buckeyes have powered for 7,228 rushing yards – a 278.0 yards per game average – and 82 rushing touchdowns in two seasons under Urban Meyer, a rush total that only seven schools can top. The foundation of this success has been an offensive line that is now void of four upperclassmen – all of whom have the potential to make an NFL roster – and their 135 combined starts. It's time to restock up front.
Junior Taylor Decker started all 14 games at right tackle last year and is the new leader of the pack. He'll move to left tackle this spring. Sophomore Pat Elflein, who played well in three quarters vs. Michigan and in a start against Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game, is tested and proven at one guard position. Jacoby Boren and Darryl Baldwin have some game experience the last two seasons at center and tackle, respectively. Nine additional scholarship linemen will be vying for playing time, including Antonio Underwood, who is returning after missing the 2013 season, Kyle Dodson, Billy Price and Joel Hale, who has moved to the offensive line from the defensive line.
Expect spirited competition everywhere
Position battles will be spirited and fervent at running back, receiver and at quarterback. Braxton Miller isn't likely to take a snap this spring because of his Feb. 21 surgery, which means untested young quarterbacks Cardale Jones, a third-year sophomore who was on the field for 39 plays in three games last year, and red-shirt freshman J.T. Barrett will have plenty of opportunities to perform in the competition for the No. 2 position. Early enrollee and true freshman Stephen Collieris the third scholarship quarterback on the roster.
Sophomore Ezekiel Elliott's 30 carries (for 262 yards and an 8.7 per carry average) were the most last year of any returning running back, a testament to his skill, savvy and practice habits, but he'll be challenged hard by a slew of veterans for this open position. Rod Smith is a fifth-year senior who has gained 448 yards with a 5.4 per carry average and is a solid 6-3 and 231 pounds. A couple of third-year sophomores will also be mixing it up at the position: Bri'onte Dunn and Warren Ball.
And speedster Dontre Wilson, a running back who also played H-back last year and averaged 13.2 yards with every touch of the football, is bound to be bigger, better and stronger in his second season. He averaged 8.1 yards off 31 carries, 15.0 yards off 22 receptions and 24.9 yards on kickoff returns plus scored three times as a freshman.
Seniors Devin Smith and Evan Spencer return as starting wide receivers with 22 and 15 starts, respectively, but expect the juice to be loose with this position group that doesn't have a starter – yet – according to receivers coach Zach Smith and is loaded with talented players eager to play and who either red-shirted (Michael Thomas, Corey Smith and Jalin Marshall), sat out (Jeff Greene) or were in high school (WR Johnny Dixon and H-B Curtis Samuel) last season.
Smith has speed and experience – 88 receptions for 1,572 yards and 18 touchdowns – on his resume and Spencer, although he won't play this spring, has consistently been lauded for his downfield blocking and football awareness. He has 37 career catches and four touchdowns.
Ohio State boasts two outstanding, veteran tight ends in senior Jeff Heuerman (22 starts; 35 receptions for 585 yards and five touchdowns) and fourth-year junior Nick Vannett. Both are in the 6-6, 250-pound range.
A foundation to build upon
Defensive coordinator Luke Fickellhas a couple new assistants on his side of the ball to work with and a line that will anchor the defense. Every lineman returns from a 2013 unit that registered a combined 53 tackles for loss, including 31 quarterback sacks.
Tackle Michael Bennett (11.5 TFLs and 7.0 sacks) is the only senior among this group and he is a force on and off the field. First-team all-Big Ten junior end Noah Spence (14.5 and 8.0, respectively) is a 12-game starter and junior Adolphus Washington (4.0 and 2.0, respectively) is a formidable performer at 6-4 and 295 pounds. Physical sophomore Joey Bosa(13.5 and 7.5, respectively) was a freshman All-American during a 2013 season in which he started 10 games.
Senior Steve Miller, juniors Tommy Schutt, Jamal Marcus and Chris Carter and sophomore Michael Hill, who is coming back after having mid-season surgery, have all played well and had their moments in back-up rolls. Schutt and Marcus have each started games in the past.
Just three LB/DB starters return
Linebacker and the defensive backfield areas each lost an All-American performer to early application into the NFL Draft: Ryan Shazier and Bradley Roby. Both standouts and their incredible playmaking abilities will be missed on a defense that is focused on improving significantly upon last season's numbers.
Senior Curtis Grant is the man in the middle at linebacker and is coming off his most productive season with 12 starts, 52 tackles, including four tackles-for-loss, and a pair of pass break-ups. Joshua Perry, fourth on the team with 64 tackles last year, has significant experience – 10 starts – at outside linebacker and the junior continued to improve as the season progressed. Junior Camren Williamsand sophomore Tre Johnson also had game action, with Williams in on 10 tackles in a start at Illinois.
Linebacker is a position where true freshmen will have to contribute this fall, according to Meyer. Four linebackers are in this year's recruiting class, including the nation's No. 1 middle linebacker and an early enrollee, Raekwon McMillan.
The secondary will feature a talented senior and 15-game starter in cornerback Doran Grant, and a quartet of young players eager for more time. Grant was second on the team last season with three interceptions and 10 pass break-ups, and he was also a top five tackler with 58 stops, including 43 solos.
Junior Armani Reeves, who started the first two games of the season and the Discover Orange Bowl in place of Roby, played plenty in between and is the only other cornerback with game experience, now that Cam Burrows, who played in 12 games last season but mostly on special teams, has moved to safety. Reeves had seven pass break-ups and an interception last season, in addition to 26 tackles.
Sophomores Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bellare poised to make noise at safety this year. Powell played 732 snaps from scrimmage last season and started five times while playing as the team's nickel back. He made 48 tackles plus the game-deciding play against Michigan: intercepting a two-point conversion attempt with seconds left to play. Bell was an outstanding special teamer last season who managed a modest 70 snaps on defense through the first 13 games. And then he started against Clemson in the Discover Orange Bowl and performed well: registering seven solo tackles and an end zone interception while in for 78 plays from scrimmage.
Burrows, who played 124 snaps on defense as a freshman cornerback last season, will vie for playing time at safety along with fourth-year junior Ron Tanner, considered among the best tacklers on the team. Tanner had his first significant action on defense last season – 56 snaps – and had an interception against Buffalo.
Special teamers
Cameron Johnston had an outstanding freshman season punting, leading the Big Ten in average but also leading the nation in percentage of punts downed inside the 20 (31 of 49; 63 pct.). He returns, as does Bryce Haynes, who has shared long-snapping duties the past two seasons. A battle for Drew Basil's kicking responsibilities will take place among third-year walk-on senior Kyle Clinton and freshman Sean Nuernberger.
News and Notes …
New on the sidelines Coach Urban Meyer's staff will feature two new assistant coaches: Chris Ash is the team's co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach and Larry Johnsonis assistant head coach and defensive line coach. Ash spent the past year at Arkansas and the previous three years at Wisconsin. Johnson has coached collegiately for the past 18 years at Penn State.
And some additional additions to the program:
Limited and/or out this Spring
Braxton Miller's shoulder surgery Feb. 21 will limit what he will do from a physical standpoint this spring. Evan Spencer, injured in the Orange Bowl game against Clemson, will not compete in spring drills as he continues to rehabilitate from his lower leg surgery in January. Two others – junior OL Chase Farris and junior LB Devan Bogard – will also be held out of spring drills while continuing to recover from surgery last fall. Expected to practice, albeit with some limitations, is red-shirt freshmen WR James Clark. Linebacker Mike Mitchell is no longer practicing with the team. Ben St. John, a walk-on offensive lineman who has been with the program four years, has elected not to compete as a fifth-year senior because of a shoulder issue.
Seniors and juniors and sophomores and …
Ohio State's spring roster includes 93 student-athletes. The breakdown by class includes 20 seniors (seven fifth-year seniors and 13 true seniors), 28 juniors, 24 sophomores and 21 freshmen (14 red-shirt freshmen and seven true freshmen).
Some notable position changes have been made for the start of spring drills. Joel Hale, a veteran of 29 games along the defensive line and a true senior, will practice with the offensive linemen. Sophomore Cam Burrows, who lettered with 306 plays last season including 124 snaps as a cornerback, has been moved to safety. And Chase Farris has moved back to offensive line, where he played in 2012 but converted to defensive line last season when Tommy Schuttwas injured in the preseason.
The early arrivers
Seven prospects from the 2014 recruiting class (of 23) are now Ohio State student-athletes, having enrolled in January for the start of the spring academic semester. The newest Buckeyes are:
The early trend
The seven new Buckeyes continue a trend of high school seniors electing to graduate early/complete requirements to graduate and enroll at Ohio State for a winter or spring academic session. Ohio State has a total of 22 players on its roster who have left high school early. Those players, in addition to the class of 2014 enrollees, include:
2013: CB Eli Apple, QB J.T. Barrett, CB Cam Burrows, DL Tyquan Lewis and DL Tracy Sprinkle;
2012: OL Jacoby Boren, OL Taylor Decker, RB Bri'onte Dunn, QB Cardale Jones, LB Joshua Perry, DB Tyvis Powell and WR Michael Thomas; and
2011: OL Joel Hale, TE Jeff Heuerman, QB Braxton Miller.
Coming this Fall…
125th season
The 2014 season will be the 125th season of football for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State first fielded a football squad in 1890. The program has had only 24 head coaches and it has become one of the top programs in the nation with a No. 5 ranking in victories (849) and with seven national championships, 34 Big Ten Conference championships, 43 bowl game appearances, 78 consensus All-Americans, 36 Academic All-Americans, 20 National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholar-Athletes, 24 National Football Foundation & College Hall of Famers, 71 first-round NFL Draft picks and 10 Pro Football Hall of Famers.
More seats and lights in Ohio Stadium
An $8.9 million project ongoing at Ohio Stadium will add approximately 2,600 seats with the construction of two seating areas that extend above the south stands' stadium tunnels. The project, which will be completed in August 2014, will include a new players' tunnel and it will also add rows of permanent MUSCO sports lighting atop the stadium's east wall and above the press box. Upon completion, the south stands will hold just over 17,300 students (an additional 9,000 students will continue to have seats in the north end of the stadium).
The Big Ten Conference
Maryland and Rutgers are now members of the Big Ten Conference and a new East/West divisional format replaces the Legends and Leaders divisions. New division alignments will feature Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers in the East Division and Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin in the West Division. Each school will play the other six schools in its division plus two teams from the other division in 2014 and 2015 before moving to nine-game conference slates in 2016.
Some next games "west" notes
The Big Ten schedules are set through the 2019 season. A few notes: Ohio State won't play Wisconsin in Ohio Stadium until the 2019 season. Ohio State plays Iowa and Purdue only once in the next six years with each game on the road, so Iowa and Purdue won't play in Columbus until at least 2020. Nebraska and Ohio State will play four consecutive years beginning in 2016. Ohio State's next scheduled games (through 2019) against Big Ten Conference West division foes are:
Illinois – 2014, *2015 & 2017
Iowa – *2017
Minnesota – *2014, 2015 & 2018
Nebraska – 2016, *2017, 2018 & *2019
Northwestern – 2016 & *2019
Purdue – *2018
Wisconsin – *2016 & 2019
*Away game
Another view of Big Ten schedules
Ohio State's eight-game Big Ten Conference schedules for 2014 and 2015, and its nine-game Big Ten schedules for 2016 through 2019, are as follows:
12-game bowl lineup
Big Ten teams will be part of the largest post-season bowl lineup in conference history with 12 bowl-game opportunities for the 2014-15 bowl season.

The star wears a pair of jeans we thought we'd left in the past
Spread/X17 Online
We can think of lots of reasons Mila Kunis might want to revisit 2001. After all, that was the heyday of That '70s Show, where she met her current love, Ashton Kutcher.
But just because we can understand her desire to relive that year doesn't mean we can endorse a return to the über-popular, super-low rise jeans that every girl in the U.S.A. was wearing at that time.
RELATED: Vote on whether these stars' polarizing styles are fab or fails!
Famous for popularizing the terms "whale tail" (that would be a visible thong) and "muffin top" (the bane of every non-Mila Kunis-sized girl's existence), the jeans burned white hot, then disappeared from existence.
But Kunis apparently dug hers out of the back of her closet, and it's giving us major flashbacks. From the clear view of her abdominals and hipbones to the preview of her teal underpants to the cropped tee, we might as well be in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring.
Tell us: What do you think of Kunis's super-low riders? Think this style should come back?
–Alex Apatoff

Why did my grandparents leave Wilno, and why did they settle in Worcester? Despite all the research I've done over the past 12 years, I don't have satisfying answers to these basic questions. I never will. The only people who could have spoken from the heart about their life experiences, beliefs, aspirations, and motivations were my grandparents themselves, and it is decades too late to ask them.
When I began tracking their emigration from Russian Poland to the United States, locating their names on passenger lists was challenge enough. Not impossible, thanks to Soundex codes and National Archives microfilms. My cousin/genealogy mentor John had already found the manifests for our shared grandparents, Aleksandr and Stefania Prokopowicz. Hours spent at the Worcester Public Library (which had the Boston passenger lists on microfilm) and more hours at an LDS Family History Center in Oxford, Maine, successfully turned up the documents for my paternal grandparents, Julian Prokopowicz and Anna Blaszko.
"Chain migration." "A better life." In Polish, emigracja za chlebem—literally, "emigration for bread." These facile phrases sum up the how and why of the "second great wave" that carried millions of immigrants across the world to American shores between 1870 and 1920. About 2 million Poles, most from the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires, immigrated to the United States between 1890 and 1920 (or, perhaps more accurately, between 1897 and 1913). The Polish "wave" crested in 1913 with the arrival of nearly 175,000 immigrants, my two grandmothers among them.
Seeking context
I have scanned images of passenger ships and ports to illustrate my grandparents' immigration experiences. The manifests provide the basic details: ship names, dates and ports of departure and arrival, some personal data recorded in various columns, and even the names of apparent travel companions (my conjecture, based on their having the same birthplaces and/or destinations). But I want to give my grandparents' experiences the context they deserve and give substance to those two well-worn phrases, "chain migration" and "a better life."
To that end, I have also located passenger lists for my grandparents' known relatives, as well as for friends who may have some still-to-be-revealed family connection. I mull my grandparents' personal motivations for leaving their parents and (some) siblings behind in their quest for whatever "a better life" meant to them. This has me analyzing fragments of family stories and cobbling them together with facts gleaned from my ongoing (and admittedly inadequate) study of their era in Russian Poland and the early-20th-century United States. The fact remains that I will never uncover their inner drives, though I may better understand their circumstances.
Links in the migration chain
The experiences of my maternal grandparents, Aleksandr and Stefania Prokopowicz, are intertwined simply because they had been married for more than a decade before they emigrated. Sometimes in-laws traveled together. Sometimes aunts or uncles shepherded youngsters to parents already in America. Chain migration introduces these families to the story: the Ruscik, Baniukiewicz, and Nowicki surnames are prominent.
My paternal grandparents may be treated separately, since they were both single young adults when they set out for America. Julian Prokopowicz was 19, and Anna Blaszko, 20. One thing they had in common was that they both left their parents and all their siblings behind, and never saw them again. To me, this seems like an unspeakably heart-wrenching reality. To my knowledge, Julian had not even a cousin in the United States. His closest relationships in his newfound home in Massachusetts were with the Linga family, who had been friends and neighbors in Kiwance. Anna was a link in a migration chain initiated by the Kulikowski family of Jatowty, who were her maternal cousins. Some of her paternal Blaszko cousins also immigrated, but settled in Pennsylvania, and I have no evidence that they maintained any close connection in this country.
A migration chain is somewhat like a set of Russian nesting dolls—each character reveals the next. With nesting dolls, however, the number is finite. With chain migration, each character reveals another, who reveals another, who reveals another, who reveals another. Someday when I run out of ancestors to research, I would like to determine exactly who the first person was to leave Szczuczyn for America. But even if I accomplish that, I will still never really know why.

Its really nice to read your thoughts on this. My great-grandmother, grandmother and grandfather all left Vilna, Poland in the 1900s to come to Boston. My father never talked much about this, and I've always wondered the same things.ReplyDelete

Man Jit Singh has been hired by Sony Pictures Entertainment to head its home entertainment division, replacing longtime chief David Bishop, whose contract was not renewed by the studio.
Singh, whose appointment as president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment was effective Monday, previously served as chief executive of Multi Screen Media Pvt. Ltd., the operating company that manages Sony Pictures Television's TV networks in India.
The move is the latest executive change at the film and television studio after a poor stretch at the box office last year that included high-profile flops "White House Down" and "After Earth." More recently, the studio has scored hits with "Captain Phillips" and "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2."
Bishop had led Sony Pictures' home entertainment division since 2006, steering the group through a rough stretch as consumers' viewing habits changed radically with the rise of video-on-demand services.
The studio, owned by Japanese electronics giant Sony Corp., said in December that it would not renew Bishop's contract, which expires in March.
Singh had overseen Sony Pictures Television's networks business in India since 2009. He was previously chairman of the board of directors of Multi Screen Media.
"As the ways in which consumers experience our content continue to change and multiply, our organization and its strategy for delivering content must evolve to meet the demands of the market," Singh said in a statement.
Last year was a tough one for Sony Pictures, which is headed by Chairman Michael Lynton and Co-Chairman Amy Pascal. In addition to the disappointing performance of some of its films, Sony Pictures was hammered throughout 2013 by activist shareholder Daniel Loeb, whose hedge fund Third Point owns about 7% of Sony.
In his call for Sony to make an initial public offering of as much as 20% of its entertainment arm, Loeb criticized the division — which includes the studio, Sony/ATV Music Publishing and Sony Music Entertainment — for being "poorly managed."
Sony rejected Loeb's proposal in August but said at an investors conference in November that it was implementing $250 million in budget cuts. The company also hired consulting firm Bain & Co. to identify at least $100 million more that could be saved.
The studio posted an operating loss of $181 million for its fiscal second quarter, which ended Sept. 30.
Sony Pictures said in a statement that Singh would "continue the studio's focus on reducing overhead costs."
"Man Jit is a savvy global executive with a long track record of success at Sony Pictures, having built our Indian TV channels into high-performance, high-margin businesses," said Lynton, who also heads Sony's entertainment arm. "I am confident in his vision for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and his ability to provide strong leadership for the division as the marketplace continues to evolve."
Sony Pictures — which includes Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics and other entities — has shaken up its executive ranks in recent months. In September, the company fired Marc Weinstock, then its head of domestic and international marketing. Steve Elzer, senior vice president of media relations, was let go in December.
The studio also has brought on two key executives. In August, Sony partnered with former Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman Tom Rothman to restart its TriStar Productions banner. And in December, the studio named "Moneyball" and "Captain Phillips" producer Michael De Luca head of production for its Columbia Pictures unit.

Actress Penelope Cruz and her husband, Javier Bardem, are expecting their second child, according to a report.
The "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" star is pregnant and due to give birth later this year, according to the New York Post.
Representatives for the couple had yet to comment on the news as WENN went to press.
If the reports are true, Cruz and her model sister, Monica, will be pregnant at the same time. Last month, Monica Cruz announced she was expecting her first child via an anonymous sperm donor.
Penelope Cruz wed Oscar winner Bardem in 2010. Their firstborn, son Leonardo, turned 2 on January 22.


text: The collapse of Solyndra, noted below, is the pathetic environmental story of the week, if you leave aside the story out a few days ago that global warming will make mental illness worse (hey!, maybe that explains Al Gore?). The ridiculous environmental story of the week concerns "EcoKat," the enviro-mascot that someone at Kansas State University thought was a good idea. (Maybe it's just a Halloween costume stunt. If so, I'll fall for it.) I never thought things could get any more ridiculous than Captain Planet. I still have my Captain Planet lunchbox and thermos, which make for great props when explaining Hollywood's endless superficiality about all things green. But at least Captain Planet was a cartoon–a little kids' show, unlike EcoKat, which was meant for college students. Actually, come to think of it . . .

Analog Video Capture
Before we begin, I must offer my apologies. Writing a thorough
Capture guide is nigh impossible due to the large amount of devices
that are available on the market. All we can provide here is an
overview. There is a more
detailed guide at Doom9.org which will help you with certain kinds
of capture devices.
The way Digital Video editing has been done in the past was to take a video capture card, hook up your VCR or LD player to it, and then capture clips to your hard drive. This is still a very viable method (and indeed the only good option open to you if you don't have DVDs).
A Video Capture card will usually have a video-in connector - either Composite video (the yellow plug with one prong that usually comes in a set of 3 along with a left and right audio connector) or S-Video (usually a black cable where the plug has four or six pins coming out of it). There are some with Component but if you have a card that does Component you don't need to be reading this guide.
Most video capture cards will work with a program called VirtualDub and similarly VirtualDubMod which is contained in the AMVapp. This program has a built-in capture function that works better than anything else out there. It does everything you could want, and generally faster than any other program. However some newer capture cards (like the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeons) do not come with a Video For Windows driver and so VirtualDub cannot capture from them unless you use a wrapper which works in Windows 2000 (and NOT Windows XP). Instructions for getting this wrapper to work can be found at this page on VirtualDub's site. The DV500 comes with a Premiere Capture Plugin, and thus it also does not work with VirtualDub.
Install VirtualDub and then run it and select Capture AVI from the filemenu. If it comes up and says there is no capture device, most likely your capture card is not supported. If you would like to experiment, check the documentation sections at VirtualDub's homepage.
When you go to capture your video, change the color format to be YUV, YUY2, UYVY or something similar if the option is available. This will give you better compression later. Then select a video compressor. I recommend selecting Huffyuv as it compresses fairly fast if you have a good computer and it is lossless. However, your hard drive may have trouble capturing at bitrates that high.
Then select your capture resolution. First try 720x480 or 704x480 if it is available. If you try capturing with these and you get dropped frames, try lowering your resolution to 360x480 or 352x480 if you can. This will maintain all the vertical resolution and scanlines and simply drop half your horizontal resolution.
If you start to get dropped frames, make sure that "preview" is off, and you are either capturing with Overlay or blind since this will save CPU cycles. Also, obviously close all other programs and make sure you aren't doing anything else. Capturing video is very processor intensive. It's also recommended to have a lot of free space handy on whatever drive you're capturing too, as well as defragmenting the drive. Defragmentation can give HUGE speed increases (in the neighborhood of 3x speed increase) when it comes to working with large files.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Twenty-two vehicles earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest safety award for 2014, Top Safety Pick+, thanks to a high level of protection in crashes and the availability of front crash prevention technology to avoid many collisions in the first place. An additional 17 earn Top Safety Pick by meeting the crashworthiness criteria alone.
IIHS is using new criteria for the awards this year. Top Safety Pick requires good performance in the Institute's moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests and, for the first time, good or acceptable performance in the small overlap front test introduced in 2012. The same level of performance in those tests, along with at least a basic rating for front crash prevention, is required for the higher accolade, Top Safety Pick+.
"We've made it more difficult for manufacturers this year," says IIHS President Adrian Lund. "Following a gradual phase-in, the small overlap crash is now part of our basic battery of tests, and good or acceptable performance should be part of every vehicle's safety credentials. We also felt it was time to offer extra recognition to manufacturers that are offering a proven crash avoidance technology."
IIHS has been awarding Top Safety Pick since the 2006 model year and has tightened criteria twice before this year. Top Safety Pick+ was introduced last year to reward automakers that achieved good or acceptable performance in the small overlap test, in which 25 percent of a vehicle's front end on the driver's side strikes a rigid barrier at 40 mph. The test replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole.
With the small overlap test now incorporated into the basic Top Safety Pick criteria, IIHS is using the Top Safety Pick+ designation to reward manufacturers that provide the next level of safety. This year, that means vehicles that not only protect their occupants in a crash but also have systems that can prevent or mitigate front-to-rear crashes. Front crash prevention, which includes both warning systems and automatic braking, is intended to help inattentive drivers avoid rear-ending a stopped or slower-moving vehicle in front of them.
IIHS began rating front crash prevention systems earlier this year after research by its affiliate, the Highway Loss Data Institute, showed that forward collision warning and automatic braking systems are reducing crashes. Vehicles can earn basic, advanced or superior ratings for systems offered as standard or optional equipment. A vehicle with a forward collision warning system that meets performance criteria set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration automatically qualifies for a basic rating. Additional points are awarded for autobrake, based on performance in IIHS track tests at 12 mph and 25 mph.
Front crash prevention systems have been spreading quickly through the vehicle fleet. As a result, there are more 2014 Top Safety Pick+ winners than regular Top Safety Pick winners.
"Consumers who want both crash prevention technology and the latest in occupant protection have a fair number of vehicles to choose from," Lund says. "We hope manufacturers will continue to incorporate front crash prevention, developing more robust systems and adding them to more trim levels or, better yet, making them standard equipment."
The front crash prevention features of the Top Safety Pick+ winners run the gamut from basic warning systems, such as those offered on the Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and Honda's four winners, to Subaru's EyeSight warning and autobrake system. EyeSight avoids a collision in tests at both 12 mph and 25 mph and is available on the Forester, Legacy and Outback.
Most of the Top Safety Pick+ winners qualify for the award only when equipped with optional front crash prevention systems. When those vehicles aren't equipped with the features, they still meet the regular Top Safety Pick criteria. The Volvo S60, S80 and XC60 and the Honda Civic hybrid earn Top Safety Pick+ on the basis of standard equipment.
The 2014 Top Safety Pick+ winners include eight models that didn't earn the award in 2013. Among them are fully redesigned models, including the Acura MDX and RLX, Infiniti Q50, Mazda 3 and Toyota Highlander. Among Top Safety Pick winners, the Chevrolet Spark minicar is a new model.
Some winners that did not undergo a full redesign were modified to improve small overlap performance. This includes the popular Toyota Camry, which now qualifies for Top Safety Pick. The 2012-13 Camry models were rated poor for protection in a small overlap front crash, but the 2014 model earns an acceptable rating. The Toyota Prius and the Mazda CX-5 also were tweaked and now earn Top Safety Pick+. Changes to these vehicles and some others were made after the 2014 model year started. See the list of winners for manufacture dates.
The Volvo S80, a large luxury car, is new to the Top Safety Pick+ list because it hadn't been previously tested for small overlap performance. However, it has had the same basic design since 2007, so its good small overlap result applies to earlier models as well.
Honda/Acura has the most winners of any automaker, with six models earning Top Safety Pick+ and two earning Top Safety Pick.
With the changes to the criteria, the number of Top Safety Pick+ and Top Safety Pick winners falls from a combined 130 at the time of the initial announcement of 2013 winners to 39 for 2014. Vehicles that have fallen off the list have less than acceptable ratings for small overlap protection or they haven't been tested yet. All models that made it to the 2013 winners' circle continue to offer a high level of protection in four main crash types — moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear.

Midsize moderately priced cars
Midsize luxury/near-luxury cars
Large luxury cars

Except for the Volvo S60, S80 and XC60 and the hybrid version of the Honda Civic 4-door, vehicles listed under Top Safety Pick+ qualify for that award only when equipped with optional front crash prevention. Front crash prevention isn't available on nonhybrid versions of the Civic.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Nationally-ranked No. 13 Babson College ended MIT's seven-game winning streak with a 16-10 decision in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's lacrosse contest on Tuesday. Erica Little paced the Engineers (10-4, 3-2 NEWMAC) with five goals while Kaitlyn Pettengill notched five goals for the Beavers (11-2, 5-0 NEWMAC).
Casey Flynn put MIT on the board first with an unassisted strike after 3:40 elapsed. Pettengill registered the equalizer 15 seconds later, but back-to-back goals from Little gave the Cardinal and Gray a 3-1 edge at the 23:34 mark. Babson responded with five unanswered goals to capture the lead as three straight markers by Anna Collins ignited the spurt. A solo effort by Kelly Duncan narrowed the gap to two (6-4), however free-position shots from Lindsay Bucci and Pettengill maintained the small cushion. Little posted her third goal of the frame, making the score 8-5 in favor of the Beavers at the break.
The visitors quickly doubled their margin during the first 7:24 of the second stanza. Little and Katie Kauffman found the back of the net, bringing MIT within four (11-7). This was as close as it would get as Babson mounted a 5-1 run, capped by three consecutive goals from Pettengill, for a comfortable 16-8 advantage with 6:10 left to play. Blasts by Stephanie Brenman and Flynn wrapped up the scoring for the Engineers.
Brenman posted a team-high five draw controls as Alex Wright earned four of her own. Molly McCartin collected 13 saves and four groundballs for the Cardinal and Gray.
Anna Collins tallied four goals, one assist, four draw controls and two caused turnovers for the Beavers. Lindsay Bucci recorded a hat-trick as Bridget McCurdy totaled two goals and two caused turnovers. Trisha Babson posted six draw controls while Ellen McCurdy and Kate Nichols each notched three groundballs. In net, Sarah Macary recorded nine saves and three groundballs.
Next up for MIT will be a home game against the University of Redlands on Thursday, April 23. Babson will host NEWMAC foe Wheaton College in its season finale on Saturday, April 25.

Somehow I cannot help but think of the six million dollar man tv series I grew up watching when I think of the word or rather the metal titanium. Anyhow what sparked my interest was when I came across a Phiten Store in Marina Square. In fact I had passed it by a few times in the past and even looked in once, however I was skeptical that the products even worked. I mean how many copper bracelets or magnetic bracelets shops claimed more or less the same benefits of circulation and pain relieve just by using their products. But what got my attention this time, was that they their products were now being sold in Changi Hospital!
So far I experienced two very interesting demonstrations at their store to show that their products actually work. During the first demonstration I actually felt the slight change in the tension of the muscles. However in the second demonstration which was different then the first, I couldn't quite tell if it was working the way it should as it involved lifting two big and filled bottles of water by the handle. ( think it has to do with the fact that I am used to lifting heavy weights)
Anyhow I decided to give their necklace a try since it looked rather cool and sportive. I have noticed that I am much calmer then I otherwise would be after wearing it for more than 24hours. Also waking up from the bed seems more effortless than before, perhaps due to the increase in circulation. You might say that it is all psychological, but hey! You can always try the products out yourself to see if they work.
Their products were originally designed for use as a medical aid, helping to improve the flow of blood in coma patients and others suffering from immobility. The research and development has spanned over twenty years, and until recently, only the wealthy could afford them. Finally, however, the price has come down and now their products have become a standard and are a great alternative for those who do not like constantly taking pills for relieving body aches and pains.
I got this interesting article off another site not related in anyway to Phiten…..
An Explanation of Titanium
Titanium (atomic number: 22; element symbol: Ti )
Titanium was discovered by a German chemist in 1791 and named 1795 for the Greek mythical characters known as Titans. They were giants who pre-dated and gave birth to the Greek gods. Titanium is a sliver-white colored metal which is resistant to rust, heat, and seawater, and are hypoallergenic It is often used for medical tools and technical tools in various fields. The living body conducts electric currents throughout itself, related to the nervous and muscular systems. Disturbances in the body's electric current can generate various maladies. In our everyday lives, we are constantly exposed to various electromagnetic waves, which can harm the body. Titanium, with its strong ionization tendency, promotes better electrical through the body and helps counteract the negative electromagnetic waves in our environment. The results include improved metabolism and the reduction of muscle stiffness and pain. Athletes and medical specialists both have begun recommending the curative properties titanium recently.
The special characteristics of Titanium
Titanium possesses such extraordinary qualities such as the following:
1. it is lightweight
2. it is sturdy
3. it will not rust
4. it does not produce allergic reactions in the human body
Because of these highly –regarded characteristics, Titanium is now used in everything from everyday products such as eyeglass frames, golf clubs, watches, cameras, to such highly advanced products as medical equipment, as well as parts used in the space aeronautics industry.
Titanium has recently begun to garner further interest as sports professionals and athletes, from high school soccer players to runners in the international marathon, in baseball league to golf PGA, have been wearing titanium necklaces, titanium bracelets and titanium coated-tape around their necks, wrists and arms. Many who wear these titanium bio jewelleries have reported that there is a miraculous beneficial effect of improving blood circulation and reducing muscles stress. This has cause an increasing trend of wearing titanium bio jewelleries in sports. In fact, it is an essential accessory for many professional players of major league sports clubs and sports associations now. Titanium has been proven to be so popular in sports that television shows have been broadcast special features stories around this new phenomenon. The New York Times has also reported this new phenomenon under the heading "Is Your Bat Speed a Bit Off? Try a Titanium Necklace " in June 22, 2005.
How Titanium affects the Body, and its Benefits.
Electricity is constantly flowing throughout the human body. Muscles respond sensitively to minute amounts of this electric current. Human cells are composed of atomic nuclei as well as electronic nuclei. Electronic nuclei emit positive and negative charges that delicate balance each other. In order words, it is probably not an overstatement to say that our bodies are controlled by electricity. However, if for some reasons the positive and negative charges in our cells are upset and the delicate balance them are disrupted, the electric currents in our bodies become uneven and unbalance. This results in such aches and illnesses as stiff shoulders, lower back pain, headaches, dizziness, ringing tone in the ears, diarrhea, constipation, and severe ocular pain.
According to Eastern Oriental medicine, every organ, whether it is the brain, heart, liver or kidney, maintains its own electromagnetic field. When the dedicate balance of these fields are upset the flow of "ki" or life energy, is disrupted, leading to illness.
Today, we live our everyday lives surrounded by all kinds of household electrical appliances. Whenever these appliances are operated using electricity, they invariably produce electromagnetic waves. These waves always disrupt our biological electrical currents and damage our physical health. However, a life without electrical appliances and equipment is now no longer feasible. Therefore, in order to live healthier lives, we must help balance and repair the disruptions to our biological electrical currents. To put it more simply, we need to bring in electricity from outside of our bodies-this idea is the crux of all medical treatments using electricity or magnetism.
Electrons or cluster of electrons that produce electrical charges are called ions. Many methods of medical treatment use the effects of ions, or ionization. For example, ultrasound and irradiation using low frequency waves are often employed in the treating of muscles pain, or in the rehabilitation of patients with partial paralysis. These treatments take advantage of the fact that when the body is exposed to electrical current of electrical waves, it becomes heated. The increased warmth encourages a more vigorous flow of blood throughout the body, simulating sympathetic nerves and causing the capillaries and vessels to expand. This in turn improves metabolism, and encourages cells to expel toxic wastes more easily. Furthermore, appropriate warmth helps to relieve pain and bring about relaxation. Other beneficial effects include the loosening of muscles, the alleviation of pain and spasms, and the increased alkalinity of such bodily fluids as blood and lymph node fluids.
The disruption of biological electrical currents can also be corrected by using metals. Metals by nature emit positive and negative (minus) charges, and it is the degree to which these charges are emitted that determines their ionization strength. Ionizing propensities differ from metal to metal, it has been generally recognized that aluminum possesses the strongest such effect, followed by zinc, iron, nickel, tin, lead, copper, mercury, white gold and gold. However, until recently, it has been discovered that Titanium is believed to have an even higher ionizing effect than any of these metals.
Titanium is thus extremely effective in correcting the disruptions in a person's biological electrical currents, thereby eliminating any unpleasant and painful symptoms. The excellent results derives from wearing a titanium bracelets are due to the fact that titanium emits electrical currents that are beneficial in correcting and balancing a person's disrupted biological electrical currents.

Finizio issues first executive orders
New London - Saying he has the right to allocate city resources in the most productive way possible, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio issued executive orders Tuesday instructing city police on how to deal with illegal immigrants and marijuana use on private property.
During his first full day in office after being sworn in Monday, Finizio said he was following through on campaign promises when he issued five orders, including at least three that he admitted may be considered controversial.
"I promised we would have progressive government in New London," Finizio said in a telephone interview. "There may be some controversy, but it's done - I did it - and we're moving forward."
The three most controversial are:
• Ordering city police not to pursue charges involving possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia if the violation occurs on private property and the landowner has not made a complaint or requested police assistance.
• Ordering that no disciplinary action be taken against city employees who test positive for marijuana during random testing, except for those involved in safety-related occupations.
• Ordering police not to inquire into a person's immigration status or to take measures against a suspected illegal alien or refugee unless a possible violation of federal immigration law is being investigated.
City Council President Michael Passero said he was aware the orders had been in the works but was surprised to read about them in the press before receiving his own copy.
"I'd like to think that in the hubbub of a new administration, this was just an oversight," Passero said in an interview Tuesday.
During Tuesday's City Council meeting, Councilor Adam Sprecace attempted to add an item to the agenda to discucss the orders, but his motion failed. He said he wanted the law director's office to draft an ordinance, which the council would review at the next meeting, that would have identified the "policy of the City of New London to enforce all laws of the state and the State of Connecticut."
Sprecace, who also was aware the orders from Finizio were coming, said there may be language that addresses his concerns but he has yet to see the documentation. "I just want to make sure all laws will be enforced,'' he said after the meeting. "I have a problem if we're asking police officers to look the other way."
Finizio said he gave a heads-up to city councilors and the city departments affected by the measures but admitted he never shared the final verbiage with councilors before filing the orders Tuesday with the city clerk's office. He promised to provide an advance copy of executive orders to councilors in the future.
Martin Olsen, New London's ceremonial mayor before Finizio took the reins as the city's first "strong" mayor in 90 years, said he was concerned that his successor was attempting to override a drug policy the City Council had previously approved. "I worry about the example that's being set for kids regarding marijuana use," he said.
Finizio, however, said the executive orders were not meant to override state or local laws and that they do not indicate that the city is condoning drug violations. He said that possession of less than one-half ounce of marijuana is treated as an infraction under state law, similar to a parking ticket, and that he didn't think a city worker deserved to be reprimanded for such a minor violation.
Finizio earlier had told a member of The Day's editorial department that he would prefer marijuana to be legalized. "Consenting adults should have a certain zone of privacy, a right to live as they choose," he said.
As for the issue regarding immigrants, Finizio said he promised such an order during the campaign. He added that he is considering starting a dialogue with the City Council to enact an ordinance similar to New Haven's identification-card program intended to elicit more cooperation with police during criminal investigations.
According to Finizio's executive order, "Officers of the New London Police Department shall not independently undertake to approach, interview, interrogate, detain or arrest any suspected illegal alien or refugee when a potential violation of the federal immigration law is not the principal issue."
Under other Finizio orders, police are prohibited from using profiling techniques to pull over potential criminals, and the first Sunday before Memorial Day is now New London Neighbor Day, to be celebrated in front of City Hall.

Degree: BS Wildlife Year: 1998Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Title: Graduate Student Business: Michigan State University, Deptartment of Fisheries and Wildlife City, State: East Lansing, MI Web Address: http://www.msu.edu/
I recently returned to school in the fall of 2006 to pursue a MS and PhD in Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University with a specialization in Human Dimensions and Gender, Justice and Environmental Change. Currently I am working on a research project with my adviser regarding stormwater management issues in the Greater Lansing area, particularly focusing on multiple stakeholder use and collaboration in meeting Phase II NPDES permits for urbanized areas. We are also looking at the possibilities for alternative stormwater management practices such as rain gardens, bioretention ponds and constructed wetlands as part of an interdisciplinary project that integrates natural, social and engineering sciences.
Previously I worked at the National Wildlife Federation's regional office, the Great Lakes Natural Resource Center, in Ann Arbor, MI as the Population & Environment Outreach Coordinator. In this position I was responsible for regional coalition building and program outreach and advocacy, along with special projects that focus on population, wildlife, and water management. In addition, I also served as the project leader for the Great Lakes Women's Environmental Network, which promotes leadership development and activism among women in the region by providing capacity building and leadership development trainings. This position offered me a multitude of opportunities to increase my knowledge on environmental policy and the opportunity to experience lobbying on Capitol Hill in to Washington, D.C.
After graduation I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala working in three project areas: environmental education, community based ecotourism, and solid waste management.During my two and half years in Guatemala, I collaborated with elementary school teachers to design and implement an integrated environmental education curriculum for grades 3-6 with support from CARE International. I also worked with small communities, the local government, and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in assessing the potential for ecotourism in the area and promoting the region through brochures and exhibitions. My experience as a Peace Corps volunteer was extremely valuable in many ways, and not a day goes by that I am not thankful for the time that I spent there.
In my spare time I serve on the Board of Directors of Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice and volunteer as a mentor to high school students in Southwest Detroit (a primarily Hispanic area). I also manage a small educational scholarship fund in Purulha, Baja Verapaz, Guatemala where I served as a Peace Corps volunteer. With the help of donations from family and friends we have been able to send 3 students to school for 2 years straight!
