At 1:50pm on July 2, 2014, we heard a bang and a scream in the garage. Aunt Lorene was washing dishes at the kitchen sink. She saw Max run out of the garage door and shouted, "Max is on fire!" Nat ran out the back door to the porch and I ran down the back hall. Markus opened the door and I saw Max walking with his shirt and hair in flames into the house. I patted some flames out as he walked down the back hall and Lorene threw a bowl of water on him in the kitchen. He went to the kitchen sink where we ran his hands under water. His face and most of his hair was singed. The whole time, he kept saying, "I'm sorry, Mom & Dad. I was just making a firework. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm going to be fine."
He took his clothes off in the kitchen and we put him in our bathtub under cold water. He said an explosion went off and He was blinded by the light and stumbled around, then ran into the house.
While he was in the tub, Markus and I gave him a priesthood blessing. I carried him to the van and we rushed him to the AF hospital.
I carried him into the ER and they showed me the bed to lay him in. The doctors gave him morphine and then a sleeping gas. Even after he was out, he kept trying to sit up. It was so painful to see. They put in a breathing tube and 2 IVs.
They moved him to another room and told us they would life flight him to the Burn Center at U of U. The flight team arrived and said they needed to wash him before transporting him so they didn't bring chemicals into the Burn Center. We told them that we had already washed Max off in the bath. Gratefully, they didn't wash him again.
They moved him to the stretcher, wheeled him to the helicopter, and flew him to U of U. Nat and I drove straight there.
[Max being life-flighted to U of U Burn Center]
He was in the ER when we arrived since there were no rooms in the Burn Center, then they moved him to the Burn Center. His eyes were swollen shut. Once he was in the Burn Center, Nat and I were sent to the waiting room while they debrided him. While Nat and I waited, a head nurse came out and introduced himself. He told us that this is a critical illness, and we needed to know that Max could die. Since he had 3rd degree burns on 40% of his body, he would be in the hospital for 2-3 months and might not make it. When he left, I prayed: "Father, we need Thee every hour, and we need Thee this hour. Spare our son. Sweet Jesus, have mercy. Father, we believe. Help thou our unbelief. Let our son live. But if not, we will still believe."
Two hours later, Dr. L came in and sat down. She said that Max had 3rd degree burns on 30% of his body, and 2nd degree burns on 10%, but those could become 3rd degree burns. She described the long hard process of recovery. She reported a central line that had been put in because the IVs had failed. She said it was an emergency procedure to keep fluids flowing to him.
Dr. L. described escharotomy, a procedure of releasing pressure in areas where the blood flow is restricted by the burnt skin. The loss of blood flow can result in dead tissue. In Max's case, his hands had really high pressure. The nurse said that if we didn't do escharotomy right away, he could lose fingers (or worse). She said the pressure in the eyes was so great he could go blind. Natalie stated very clearly that we wanted to be as minimally invasive as possible. Dr. L. said we could wait another 30 minutes to decide.
One of the goals of the first night is to reduce the liquid intake from 1000 ml/hr to 190 ml/hr. In order to reduce the liquid, they need to see enough urine coming out. Miracle #1: He totally started urinating and met the goal of going down to 190!
An hour later, the head of the Burn Center, Dr. M., came to talk to us with Dr. L. He spoke about his 30 years of experience in burn care. He said he is a man of faith, and that he believes in a balance of allopathic and homeopathic care. He was open to us using natural products in Max's treatment. We agreed to give Max 1 more hour to see if the pressure had gone down in his arms and hands. We kept slathering natural solutions on him, Dr. M. did the test, and his numbers were all within acceptable range. The escharotomy that Dr. L. was planning on doing just hours earlier was evaded!
We are expecting miraculous results!
Miracle Log:
- None of the other kids were home at the time of the accident
- We DID have a full team of helpers at home (Nat, Andy, Lorene, Heidi, Markus)
- Lorene was at the kitchen window to see him, and had a bowl of water
- Able to use natural solutions in Silver cream and on face
- Urine output – fluid down every hour since midnight – 190 ml/hr by 7
- Eye pressure came back to normal (low 20s) – keep his vision and no incisions!
- Significant reduction in swelling of his face and neck.

about the author
Are you an employer or an HR manager taking care of your employees' health?
Call us to get a free consult regarding corporate health insurance
What are the options?
Travel insurance Ukraine's market has to offer is a voluntary type of insurance. That's why policies vary significantly depending on the extent of coverage. The basic services covered by travel insurance policy are the emergency medical expenses and expenses for medical transportation.
Travel insurance policies also differ based on the purpose of travel, its duration and number of destination points.
There are single-time policies covering the specific time period for visiting one country or the annual ones which cover the limited duration of one trip without imposing the limit on the number of trips during the year. The broadest coverage is provided by the multi – policies which cover unlimited number of trips and sometimes even unlimited number of days within one trip.
How to make the right choice?
Always inquire which medical services are covered by the insurance policy and whether or not assistance is operating in the country of your destination.«First of all, make sure to read the policy and the program overview with paying special attention to the deductible amount and the specific limits for various occasions. Exclusions from the coverage should also be looked into to avoid unpleasant surprises. For instance, dermatitis caused by insect bites, allergies, sunburns or jet skiing. Beware of this fact if you are planning fun summer vacation.
Always inquire which medical services are covered by the insurance policy and whether or not assistance is operating in the country of your destination.
What are the additional options?
Travel insurance Ukraine's market can boast frequently stipulates the opportunity to pay for additional coverage. For instance, you can extend your travel policy for the casualty insurance (death, injury or disability). In this case you are entitled to receive the fixed sum of indemnification in case of the insured event. Besides, the option for covering dangerous sports is also quite popular among the travelers. Of course, you will need to pay from 40 % to 300 % more depending on the kind of sports, but it is worth it if you prefer extreme leisure.
How much?
The cost of Ukraine's travel insurance depends on the territory, term of the policy, limit of liability, age of the Insured, their profession and sports preferences. It's possible to cut the cost by 1/3 by adding the deductible amount to the policy terms and conditions. However it is not reasonable if you actually expect your travel insurance to work.
Cheap insurance would cover only certain emergency cases while the one that costs over UAH 1,000 would ensure that you'll be indemnified for all kinds of hospital and emergency care as well as dental care or even acute exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Isle Royale National Park (Michigan)
This was my first canoe camping adventure. I did this with one friend and there were no kids along. I think Isle Royale would be a great paddle for when a child is 12 or older. And especially if there are a couple of families together.
I paddled with a friend from college, several years after college. I met my friend, Gus, when we were freshman on the Wilderness Program which took place one month before college started and was designed for the freshmen. It was three weeks of backpacking in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. (They also had a three week program of canoeing in the Boundary Waters of Canada — but I selected the backpacking trip then.) Gus and I were tent and cooking partners for the final five days of the trip and we have been friends ever since. He also had years of Boy Scout experience and some canoeing at Boy Scout camp experience. So what better way to visit a friend than plan to meet at a vacation destination and have a little adventure. I had never canoe camped, but I was a pretty competent canoeist and kayaker and I had camped quite a bit. So I proposed a vacation to my friend who lives in the Midwest as a nice way to visit and vacation.
I chose Isle Royale over Boundary Waters Canoe Area because there are just so many entry points in the Boundary Waters that it would take a lot more research to figure out where to go than in Isle Royale. Of course if you go with an outfitter that is no problem at all. But I was outfitting and planning my own trip.
You are going to need this Trails Illustrated Isle Royal Map and the book: Isle Royale National Park: Foot Trails and Water Routes.
There are several ways to get to Isle Royale and none of them is cheap. You can take a ferry from Grand Portage, Minnesota. You can take a ferry from Copper Harbor, Michigan or Houghton, Michigan. You can take a seaplane from Laurium, Michigan. Or if you have a private boat, you can sail it to different harbors. We took the ferry from Grand Portage, Minnesota. One thing about the ferry from Grand Portage, it circumnavigates the island, so you can get on or off at different locations. I think it is the only ferry that does this circumnavigation.
This trip took place back when you could take several pieces of luggage on an airplane for free. So between the two of us we were able to take most of what we needed on the airplane. Now-a-days there would be a problem because they allow less luggage and you would need to ship your backpacking stove to your destination, because even without gas in the stove, they are not going to let you carry a stove on the plane which has ever had gas in it. You might have to ship other of your gear rather than take it on an airplane. I would have liked to take my paddle, but didn't because of airplane luggage considerations.
We both flew into Duluth, MN, where we rented a car and provisioned. In Duluth, we bought contractor bags to put inside of our backpacks and duffel bags. We bought a gallon container of white gas for my stove, filled a couple of fuel bottles and left the rest in the car. At the end of the trip, I emptied the remaining fuel back into the gallon container and gave it to whomever would take it at the end of the ferry ride. We bought whatever food we needed that we hadn't already packed at home.
I had a couple of dry bags which I kept things I really wanted to keep dry, like my sleeping bag and food. I took my neoprene socks, but I might have taken my wetsuit except my friend didn't have one, so I just didn't take it. I did take my paddling jacket – which is sort of a waterproof windproof jacket I would wear over my long john top or t-shirt, depending on the weather.
There are a bunch of wonderful state parks along the drive between Duluth, MN and Grand Portage, MN and we stopped at couple on the drive north. We spent the night in a motel in Grand Marais, Minnesota, where we rented a canoe from an outfitter. We packed everything in the canoe the night before our ferry ride at the motel, just to make sure it fit and then took it all out so we could get the canoe back on the car and the bags into our motel room for the night.
There are lots of different routes you can take in and around Isle Royale. They have a maximum number of people at each campsite, so you have to check with the park service to see how they are reserving those. They did not allow people to use wheeled canoe carts on the island for portages and I see it is still not allowed. We didn't have one, but I think it is crazy that they pretty much make the back country inaccessible for anyone except the young and strong. Our route required a minimum of portaging, but if I went back, I would do a different route. I would do a route that went from one inland lake to another inland lake. Lake Superior is too cold to consider getting wet in (EVER), but my understanding is that the inland lakes can get pretty warm and you can swim in them.
I would not consider the route we took unless you have good weather and you are competent paddlers. And I would not do our route with children because of the danger of overturning in places where we were in open water. There were a couple of iffy places of open water paddling and we were lucky and had good weather so we were able to do them. It would have been much safer to have two or three boats to do the route we took, but alas we only had two people in one boat.
There is an hour time difference between Minnesota and Michigan. You need to know this if you are leaving from Minnesota on the ferry. Once you hit Isle Royale you are in Michigan and a different time zone. Of course this is only important when you are considering returning ferry schedules.
To see the map of Isle Royale National Park, go to the park website and look on the bottom left for "View Park Map". On that map you can see everything very clearly.
Day 1: Our route was as follows: We took the ferry from Grand Portage, MN to Windingo on the south of Isle Royale. Then we continued on the ferry until we got to McCargoe Cove. We left the ferry at McCargoe Cove and began our trip. The ferry goes all the way into McCargoe Cove. We got off the ferry and by then it was afternoon and we set up our campsite in McCargoe Cove. Then since we had never paddled together we paddled for awhile in McCargoe Cove, with just ourselves in the canoe.
Day 2: We started out on our second day to do our most difficult paddle. It was the open water between the mouth of McCargoe Cove and Pickerel Cove. It is the coldness of the water and the potential for disaster in open water with this route I do not recommend for families. It was a very scary paddle, due to waves and wind and cold water. We stayed along the coast for this paddle, about 60-100 feet from shore. After a couple of hours we were at Pickerel Cove and decided to stay the night and set up camp.
We decided rather than canoe fully loaded to Belle Island, we would stay at Pickerel Cove. There was one short portage to Pickerel Cove. We took out all of our camping gear, set up camp and then set out to do a day paddle and explore in an empty canoe Amygdaloid Channel and Island. There is also open water between Pickerel Cove and the west end of Amygdaloid Island, but with an empty canoe, it was much less dangerous and stressful.
Day 3: The third day we set off and canoed from Pickerel Cove Campsite along Pickerel Cove to Lane Cove. Again that is not a very long paddle. We set up an early camp and decided to do some hiking. We hiked inland to see Mt. Franklin and Mt. Ojibway. We got a good view at the fire tower at Mount Ojibway.
Day 4: Day four started off with a short paddle and then a short portage into Stockley Bay. Then on to Five Fingers Bay and a short portage to Duncan Bay. We didn't plan on having long paddles every day. Because neither of us had ever been canoe camping, we decided to just do short paddles and we could hike or do additional paddling without equipment. We stayed at Duncan Narrows campsite. Duncan Narrows is the most eastern campsite recommended for canoes. Had we been in sea kayaks, we could have gone on east to Blake Point. They don't recommend that canoes go around the point and due to that there is a lot of portaging.
Day 5: We left Duncan Narrows and backtracked toward where the portage point Duncan Bay to Tobin Harbor began. The only really bad portage of the whole trip was this portage. I think it is Tobin Harbor where the seaplanes land and I enjoyed watching the seaplanes take off and land in Tobin Harbor. After the portage from Hell, we had one more portage to get to the next inlet, a short portage to Rock Harbor.
I thought I would make a comment about the equipment we had. We rented the canoe from a regular outfitter in Grand Marais. People in the Midwest who do a lot of lake paddling are used to portaging (carrying the boat). Boats came outfitted with portage pads, these are a padded piece to fit onto the thwart to sit on your shoulders while you carry a canoe. But the canoe was already outfitted with canoe carry thwarts. Canoe carry thwarts are thwarts which have a carved thwart to facilitate portaging. And I could not move the adjustable portage pads close together enough to fit on my shoulders. The problem is they should have put the portage pads on a standard thwart, and not a canoe carry thwart, where placement becomes a problem. I was not able to move the moveable portage pads close enough together to fit on my shoulders. So I either had to completely remove the canoe pads and carry with the wood on my shoulders, or Gus had to carry it because his shoulders were bigger and could accommodate the portage pads. So if you are renting, this is something to figure out before you arrive at Isle Royale. The portage from Duncan Bay to Tobin Harbor is pretty extreme. Here is the list of portages. That portage is 8/10ths of a mile and extremely steep. You couldn't do it with a canoe dolly even if you had one and they allowed it.
Rock Harbor is the big built up area of Isle Royale, but at the time you could not camp there for more than one day. We needed to camp at Rock Harbor the day before we took the ferry out of Rock Harbor, so we paddled past Rock Harbor to the next campground, which is Three Mile campground. By the time we got to Rock Harbor and paddled past it we had really poor weather. It was very cold (this was July) and the rain would not let up. We ended up staying in a shelter at Three Mile, which we had reserved in Windingo. All of the shelters were occupied with people when we got there, so we just asked to see people's permits, since we had a permit for a shelter. We found the shelter for which people had no permit and stayed there. We invited the interlopers to stay with us, but they decided they would rather stay in their tent. We were glad to be in shelter (which are screened) because it was just so wet outside. And there were so many mosquitoes.
At one point in our paddle it was raining so hard, we had to stop on the side of the island, get a tarp out and stay under the tarp with our boat while we waited for the rain to get lighter. You don't want to be paddling in the thunder and lightning, that is another reason why we pulled over.
Day 6: We paddled back to Rock Harbor for the last night before our ferry ride. But it was so cold and rainy, that I didn't feel like hiking around Rock Harbor. If the weather was nicer, I would have considered a paddle (without equipment) across the bay to some of the outer islands on the Rock Harbor side of Isle Royale. But with the fog and rain and cool temperatures, we didn't do that.
Day 7: It actually cleared up for a ferry ride back to Grand Portage. Since we continued to circumnavigate Isle Royale (clockwise), we got to see the rest of the island from the ferry. The last stop is Windigo before heading over to Grand Portage, MN.
Yes there were lots of mosquitoes. I had gloves to wear at night, long sleeve shirts and a mosquito net for my head. After cooking dinner we usually sat in the tent to avoid the mosquitoes. Some of the campsites had screened in shelters; they were the best. They had an open front covered with screening, but you could still see out.
I had full rain gear, Gortex jacket and rain pants. Even with all of that it was hard to stay dry in a driven rain and bone-chilling weather. I brought quite a bit of cold weather gear, but I think I could have used more.
One of the nice things about wilderness canoeing verses backpacking, is you can bring a little more stuff. I brought song books, a small pillow, a backpacker shower. We met hikers, and stayed one night with a couple who was sailing around Isle Royale in a catamaran. Now they had a little more luxury than we did in our canoe.
There is a luxury hotel at Rock Harbor and you can stay as long as want if you can afford the nightly charge. The rest of us who are camping can only stay one night at Rock Harbor. And for us that was the night before we left, as the ferry check-in was 7:00 am, to go back to Minnesota and our rental car.
I remember reading that Isle Royale is one of the least visited National Parks in the US. I'm sure that is a combination of only being open in the summer and the remoteness and expense of getting there. It is not like you can drive into the park for a day or two.

How do you know when it's time for them to go? End-of-life care for pets
Vet giving workshop on how to make those tough decisions for your best friend
Anyone who has owned a pet reaching old age, or going through a life-threatening illness, knows there are hard choices involved.
There are treatments available, but at some point you may have to decide whether to continue the care, or if the animal is suffering too much.
To help with those decisions, Dr. Peter Foley, assistant professor in small animal internal medicine from the Atlantic Veterinary College is giving a public workshop on Thursday, March 9.
"Commonly I see my clients struggling with the decision when is euthanasia right for their animal, and how are they going to know when it's time to euthanize," Dr. Foley told Angela Walker on CBC Mainstreet. "So because of that, a lot of struggling, a lot of anxiety, a lot of concern goes into those decisions."
Quality of life
The decision is often about quality of life for the pet, Foley said.
"Is the animal enjoying its life, or has life become a burden for the animal? And knowing whether there are any palliative options that can provide good quality of life, or have we really exhausted all options for that animal," he said.
It's also best when the vet and the client work together.
"What the veterinarian brings is a knowledge of what's happening in the animal's body and what the prognosis is. So the veterinarian is in a position to say how the animal is likely to be feeling, how this disease is going to progress, what the next changes are going to be," said Foley.
Owner knows their pet
"The client brings much more of an understanding of what that individual animal is like, what that animal loves to do, what makes the animal happy and gives life meaning for it, and they're better able to tell whether this animal has had enough."
There are lots of ways vets can make the last days for a pet easier, from palliative chemotherapy for cancer sufferers, to various pain control measures to drugs that help them keep their appetite.
'Tough choices'
"That's a source of anxiety and guilt for the client as well, because they have to balance their finances," said Foley. "They have lots of priorities in their life, they have to make some tough choices over whether just because an option is available, is it a good use of their money, is it something that is valuable to that animal to pursue that."
Dr. Foley is leaving lots of time in the workshop for questions from pet owners. It's happening Thursday, March 9 at 7 p.m. in Lecture Theatre A at the Atlantic Veterinary College.

Heather is Taking Off in which I bragged about her and her book to be published in the fall.
Things are moving along. Heather now has an official cover (see image to the left).
It is now listed on Chapters-Indigo, Amazon Canada, and Amazon USA where it is available for preorder with a projected date of October 01.
Apparently, in the fullness of time, there will also be an audio version
Following is the publisher's blurb.
A stunning and lyrical debut novel
Vincent Appleton smiles at his daughters, raises a gun, and blows off his head. For the Appleton sisters, life had unravelled many times before. This time it explodes.
Eight-year-old Hariet, known to all as Ari, is dispatched to Cape Breton and her Aunt Mary, who is purported to eat little girls. But Mary and her partner, Nia, offer an unexpected refuge to Ari and her steadfast companion, Jasper, an imaginary seahorse.
Yet the respite does not last, and Ari is torn from her aunts and forced back to her twisted mother and fractured sisters. Her new stepfather, Len, and his family offer hope, but as Ari grows to adore them, she's severed violently from them too, when her mother moves in with the brutal Dick Irwin.

We were disturbed to read the complaint filed last week by four adult performers against LA Direct Models and Derek Hay. While we can not speak to the validity of any specifics of the complaint, we can say that wage theft, illegal fee schedules, retaliatory booking practices, abuse of 'no' lists and requiring or forcing anyone to perform sex acts are an anathema to the legal adult entertainment industry. No adult worker should be subjected to such requirements or conditions.
The complaint further alleges that adult performers working for LA Direct were pressured into working as escorts. We strongly believe in, and have been supportive of, the decriminalization of consensual sex work. Pressuring, forcing or otherwise coercing someone into sex work is unethical, reprehensible and rightfully illegal.
Sex work is real work, and sex workers deserve the same professionalism, respect, honesty and consent as any other worker. Regardless of the outcome of this complaint, Free Speech Coalition will continue to fight aggressively for the rights of all sex workers.

January 17, 2015Recruiting, Basketball, HighSchoolTrent A. Brinkley
By: Trent A. Brinkley January 17, 2015. Louisville, KY. (Analyzed Sports)
JaMarco Haskins's Conquest to Glory
Colonial Forge HS Senior SG (6-4 190lbs) JaMarco Haskins, is coming off a Double-Double Performance, (19 points 10 rebounds 4 assists), in a 91-48 win over Massaponax HS Friday Night. He took a few minutes to do an exclusive interview with me following the game Friday Night. Below is the transcript of that interview.
Analyzed Sports: How did you get interested in playing basketball?
JaMarco Haskins: I honestly don't know how I got interested in playing basketball but I started playing it when I was five years old.
Analyzed Sports: You play for Coach Jason John. What is it like to play for him?
JaMarco Haskins: Playing for him has probably been one of the best decisions I've made. Not only does he teach me on the court but off the court he does too. He's always on my butt either when I do something wrong or gets in trouble. He stays on me because he knows how good of a player and person I can be.
Analyzed Sports: Your team is currently 14-1 in your senior season, what are some of the keys to success for this team?
JaMarco Haskins: Our keys to success so far have been our play of defense, us executing in the half court on offense, out rebounding teams, and how well we play together. We all have each other's back and the bond we have is what I think makes us so close.
Analyzed Sports: What style of offense do you run at Colonial Forge HS?
JaMarco Haskins: We run a 3 around 2 and motion type offense. But our coaches tell us to get the ball inside to our center Winston Burgess because, there's no one in the state that can guard him and I honestly believe that.
Analyzed Sports: You play along side seniors: TJ Flood, Isiah Williams, Eric Washington, and Winston Burgess; what is like to be one of the senior leaders on this team?
JaMarco Haskins: Playing along them has been pretty good so far. We're are all close and most of us grew up in middle school together besides Winston. We just have a bond that no one can break.
Analyzed Sports: You play the SG and SF/Wing position for Colonial Forge, what are the differences in those two positions?
JaMarco Haskins: Well yes, I played SG in AAU with Boo Williams and I think that's the position I'll most likely play in college. I think the main difference in the positions is rebounding, and that's what separates me from most two guards is how well I rebound and pass the ball.
Analyzed Sports: What colleges are looking to recruit you for next year?
JaMarco Haskins: Their are colleges recruiting me at all three levels, but as of now I'm just going to keep my options open and at the end of the season, see where my recruitment is at.
Analyzed Sports: Who is a player that you style your game after?
JaMarco Haskins: My favorite player is Kevin Durant, so I try to style it after him somewhat. But my dad has told me before that I have a game like Paul Pierce.
Analyzed Sports: If you could pick 4 current or past College and Pro players to be on your pick-up team, who would you pick and why?
JaMarco Haskins: It would have be Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, and Steve Adams. 4 out of the 5 OKC starters because I like the way they play together and the chemistry they have with one another
Analyzed Sports: Who is your favorite basketball coach of all-time?
JaMarco Haskins: My favorite basketball coach of all time probably would have to be Coach Pittman (AAU coach when I was younger) and Coach Verdell ( Played with him 6th-10th grade) they both taught a whole lot in my basketball careers, off the court too. Coach Verdell was like a second father to me.
Analyzed Sports: Do you have a motivational quote that you look up to?
JaMarco Haskins: Probably "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard" because I know God blessed me with a talent in basketball but I know if I don't work hard and just settle to be good, anyone can out work me any day.
Analyzed Sports: What does basketball mean to you?
JaMarco Haskins: Basketball means a lot to me, it's like when I'm not in school or hanging out with family or friends, I'm working on my game or doing something involving basketball. The passion, love, and desire I have for the game is just unbelievable.

While IT departments are hired to keep the technical side of a business up and running, employees don't always use them as such. In fact, many IT workers are greeted with ridiculous requests or strange questions not suited for these computer geniuses.
"Can you help me fix my toilet?" and "How do I clean cat hair out of my computer fan?" were just some of the bizarre – but real – requests reportedly made to IT department help desks according to a survey by staffing firm Robert Half Technology. [Read related article: Pros and Cons of an IT Managed Service Provider for a SMB]
The chief information officers who were surveyed noted a number of unusual and strange calls for help that have come through their department. Here are the 10 we found to be the funniest:
1. "How do I remove a sesame seed from the keyboard?"

2. "I need help drilling holes in the wall."

10. "My computer won't turn on or off." (The computer was unplugged.)

"Beyond their entertainment value, these unusual requests demonstrate the strong customer service skills necessary to work in the help desk and technical support fields," said John Reed, executive vice president of Robert Half Technology. "The best IT professionals are composed and empathetic – and, of course, have a good sense of humor."
The study was based on surveys of 1,400 CIOs from companies across the United States with at least 100 employees.

Selected poems from 'Blue Sister, River Vilija' under the lens of Socialist Realism.
Socialist realism is an approach to literature that focuses on social issues and that portrays a ray of hope flickers from the debris of despondency .It promotes nationalism,patriotism, the equality of women as well as the beauty of the life ordinary people. It condemns scorn for labor,which it values. Socialist Realism, an approach to literature was developed by Russian communist critics and party ideologues around 1930.It is an offshoot of Marxism. In the previous editions we hand seen the works of Salomeja Neris via the lens of New and Marxist critical approach. We had also analyzed some works from a feminist angle.
Before the storm
Around 1940 those countries in Europe, which foresaw Nazi Germany's expansionist policy, were apprehensive of its lust for annexing neighboring countries out of its ill will of unfairly amassing fortune. To forewarn and to forearm her fellow countrymen that the Nazis could take Lithuania off guard Salomeja in her poem "Before The Storm" had sensitized them of the specter of war looming large and threatening to explode at any time. In her prophetic poem she hinted the anxiety and fear of those who foresaw the impending danger.
Using horror provoking figurative speeches that summon to mind the possible catastrophe was the literary style she employed to use. And as such she did manage to vividly paint facts on the ground. For the sake of clarity some figurative expressions from the poem are spotlighted below.
Devilish, ghosts, white desperate, storm, blackens the sea and the giant's great jaw.
Also see, tightly, heavily and silently. Notice also the verbs too are in the same wavelength strike, clenched, tensed, cries, breaks, caught .
Here she metaphorically refers her countrymen by seagulls contrasting them with soldiers of the belligerent nation.
The word images and expressions in the poem that reveal the then anxieties of Lithuania's citizens, who sensed the blow the war has in store for them are:
In expectation one's nerves are tensed, seagulls with cries cross the sky's expanse, what will become of us when the rain breaks. Ship caught out of sea by chance, show merchants or commuters caught.
Stones have hearts of stone
Marxists and Socialists fight injustices of every making. Their aim as Gorky puts it is to render this world a suitable home for mankind. And as such they hold there is no room for appeasing the aggression a powerful and belligerent nation launches on the relatively weak yet peaceful one. Appeasing aggression is no less than perpetrating it. The poem Stones have hearts of stone epitomizes the wrath and revulsion of a poet to such 'crime by inaction' on the part of the international community. It was out of this feeling why Salomeja in her satiric poem 'Stones have hearts of stone' condemned the moral petrifaction of those nations that turned a blind eye when Nazi Germany flexing its military muscle was crushing and annexing neighboring countries.
The metaphoric expression 'Stone' she adopted to associate it with those who had the heart to tolerate aggression reveals how indignant she turned over the international community that could have rescued helpless countries like Lithuania from Nazi's obsession of expansion but preferred abstinence.
Let us scrutinize some of the images used to such effect. Boulder means a small rounded mass of rock. At the first line of the first stanza of this poem Salomeja used Boulder to convey the eccentricity and hardheartedness of those who appeased aggression. 'Boulder split apart and let me in' shows Lithuania was in dire need of a salivation. In this poem the persona signifies Lithuania. Boulder and stone from the same semantic set are repetitively used eleven times to draw prominence and attention by way of emphasis. This poem satirizes moral petrifaction such as appeasing aggression. The title itself hammers home the same message.
The repitition of Stones are stones-they all have hearts of stone twice in her poem shows it was via this figurative expression Salomeja gave a vent to her wrath over the moral petrifaction of the international community. She also portrayed the helpless position Lithuania postured on the eve of the war. The following figurative speeches throw additional light on this fact.
The storm will chill me to the bone (2 times)
In this extract storm stands for the unprovoked aggression while chill me means annihilate me. The extract below suggests Lithuania at that time was fast approaching its destruction.
Crane-like, towards Autumn fly my days
Clamoring, away from me they fly
Days, my days, like wheat you once stood high
But today an empty field am I
It is not the birch that bends me but woe
Even if Lithuania at that time sought for assistance her plea felled on deaf ear till Soviet embraced her. It is this tragedy Salomeja portrayed in her poem
Stones are deaf though to another woe
Like a beggar I will go, with shoulder stooped
Yet I stand before you, bending low
See also the monologue below shows Lithuania's helplessness and hence melancholic mood.
'Who will understand Autumnal me-'
The figurative speech autumnal me also shows the deplorable situation of the persona (Lithuania).The extract all have hearts of stone shows the persona is condemning the international community.
At this juncture it is important to draw attention to Salomeja's poem 'Mother where are you?' Salomeja shows Soviet rendered a helping hand to Lithuania, when Lithuania was in dire need of one. According to Marxism the oppressed shouldn't fight with the oppressed of another nation, rather avoiding narrow nationalism, they should close ranks to foil aggression.
Trees along the roadways marvel
What can all this mean?
Bright as bonfires, crimson neckties
On children gleam
And the eyes of children glitter
With-unheard -of glee,
Soviet Lithuania
This days greets joyfully.
Child of war
Posterity should sustain the valor and heroic deeds the preceding generation demonstrated in foiling aggression and ensuring freedom and the territorial integrity of a motherland. Socialist Realists also hold the same view. Salomeja in this poem depicts the obligation of succeeding generations to take into account the shuddering fact that even children not fortunate enough to play their share as their age mates in the other parts of the world did march to the battlefield and fought tooth and nail to defend their country. Succeeding generationsborn after the reversal of aggression, and after peace and freedom reigned supreme may have no inkling to the price the generation prior to them paid bathing in the river of blood to spare their country the ill effects of colonization.
The poem 'Child Of War' shows the rifle that served in spelling death to aggressors should be kept as a heritage and exhibited to succeeding generations born under a luckier star. The metaphor Salomeja here used to describe children who march to war is little eagles.
O child of war, preserve your weapons
For future days let it stay,
For they will come and ask their question
What was the world like in our day?
This poem also exposes the debased nature of Nazi Germany, who was inured to the shameful act of fighting with a nation that has no alternative than sending the fledgling and feeble alike to war. Nazi Germany was doing that out of the ill will of subjugating others and plundering (looting) their resources. The extract below exemplifies how hard the war the combatant children faced was.
For them, born under stars more lucky,
It will be hard to understand
How hard the sky have exploded
While battle raged on sea and land?
How, flowing black with blood, could rivers
Rocks bridges bombs had battered down.
They'll never see it-as you never
Saw sunshine in the world around.
Preserve your weapon, little eagle
Of many battles it will tell
Of days ferocious and heroic
For grandsons to remember well.
Brother Falcons
This poem by Salomeja aims at emboldening her fellow countrymen to get up, stand up and reverse aggression. In short it provokes a sense of patriotism in line with Socialist Realism. It as well pledges an all out support for patriots. Moreover it hints patriots are scarifying themselves defiant of aggression. It is to be recalled that Lithuania was occupied by Nazi Germany from1940 to 1945.In brother falcons the technique Salomeja brought into play is to use different metaphors borrowed from nature and to ironically convey the encroachment upon Lithuania by aggressors via the infestation of Lithuania by poisonous and prickly weeds. Autumn here is used as a symbol of war. Observe figurative expression autumn has donned its golden Armour. Such thing occurs when the sun is distant or covered with cloud. The extract autumn with heather stride further strengthens the symbol as heather has the denotative meaning of an outlaw, which could suggest an aggression. The metaphoric expressions, she employed to show the invasion of Luthania by Nazi Germany, is manifest in the following extracts Autumn, wolves, burdocks (Weeds), align winds from the west.
It is necessary here to appreciate how Salomeja with picturesque imageries superbly contrasted patriots with enemies. Special appreciation goes to the figures of association she created relating Oak trees(shades) and falcons(prey birds) with marchers grown-ups and young children respectively. Once more notice that the two metaphors are borrowed from the flora of Lithuania.
Autumn has donned its golden armor, Autumn with heater stride, Align winds from the west are blowing, Align winds from the west are raging, Enemies plunder the earth I cherish, Cranes fill the sky with strident clamor, Burdock flourish, My path by wolves was trodden
This poem, as a drumbeat, summons and emboldens youngsters and combatants to salvage their country and rescue their countrymen.
Where are you brother falcons
Where are you hero braves?
Don army coats! Make haste
And tighten the belt at your waist
To indicate that the society will stand by the sides of marchers dispersed in every which direction to defend their country, the persona pledges her support and indicates she never falters from thinking about them.
Brothers my brother falcons
Oak-trees, my forest Oak-trees
Forked are your roads like branches
Sister will seek her brothers.
Blue Sister, River Vilija
One of the principles of Socialist Realism pertaining to patriotism is if one faces defeat or a tie in a battlefield one has to admit the temporary defeat and brace up for future confrontation assessing factors responsible for the failure.
We battled hard and long-bloodstained
We come back from the field.
In water pure our wounds we'll bath
And with green silk we'll bandage them.
In 'Blue Sister, River Vilija' apart imparting the motto of patriotism, Salomeja had capitalized a love for the motherland and freedom comes next to none. She stressed even the instinct for ensuring or sustaining life comes nowhere near maintaining freedom. River is usually taken as a symbol for the movement of people of a given nation,
in this poem Salomeja had metaphorically used three major rivers in Lithuania namely,
Vilnele, Vilija and Nieman, as a means of getting across her message to the people via a word of mouth.
Vilnele, run to Vilija!
And, Vilija, to Nieman's shore!
Convey this message: 'We love life
But love our country even more—
Blue Sister, River Vilija
Make haste, make haste to Niemen's shore!
Convey this message: ' We love life
But freedom we love even more'
Saluting heroes and lauding patriotism is also among the principles of Socialist Realism.
See the following verses are coded to this end.
And, should you ask the stones what sort
Of men we are, they will with one breath
Shall say how valiantly we fought
Our foes whose eyes were closed by death.
Salomeja rendered this poem aesthetic effect using inversion, repetition and enumeration. Such superb aesthetic effect, grabbing attention, helps to ram home the message, people of a nation should put as their top most agenda ensuring freedom and the sovereignty of the nation.
The Nazi Tanks will Never pass
True to the principles of Socialist Realism here Salomeja underlines the need to defend in unison the sovereignty of one's country and pass down to posterity a country, as the one bequeathed from forefathers, whose sovereignty is unblemished by the dark spot of colonization. This is a typical poem that promotes patriotism. Salomeja pened this poem to embolden her countrymen to palisade their country with their bones and bar every advance of Nazi Germany.
Like one man,stand all our soldiers
Like a warrior iron clad
– –
All alert we stand and listen
All the steppe our keen eyes sweep
On the roads appears a dust- cloud
May be, tanks towards us creep
Fire, we clasp ignition-bottles
Hand-grenades lie near at hand
Far behind us stretch the steppe lands
Quite, spreads our native land.
In our hands, the hands of soldiers,
Lies the fate of mother earth,
All our grandfathers bequeathed us,
Kept for us until our birth.
On its guard we stand this morning
Heady smell the earth emits
Nazi Thanks will not break past us
They will be blown to bits.
Sing my heart
It is not the intent of Critical Realism to consciously transform the people. It affords victims of injustice the luxury of self-pity that swings a room for pessimism. But Socialist Realism accesses the past and present and conjures up in the mind of the victimized a rosy future that strikes shoots via bitter struggle. It is in line with the set objective of Socialist Realists 'Sing my heart 'stresses inexorable fight and hopefulness. See the underlined words in the poem reveal the intention of the poet– a call for inexorable fight and hopefulness.
– –
Sing, my heart, sing without pause,
Of life, and the sun, and the sky,
Of the warm caress, of the sandy path,
And of clouds adrift on high.
Sing with abandon, sing without care,
Sing as your heart demands;
Learn from the swallow dipping in the air'
From the little leaves clapping their hands.
And among your paeons, sing a lament
For your country, widowed by war,
Enwrapped in mourning veils of smoke,
And weeping upon the shore.
May the song you sing arrest the moan
Of the steppe, where the wild wind runs;
May the song on the lips of marching men
Silence the roar of the guns.
May the flames devouring innocent homes
Be quenched in a flood of tears,
As in your dry, your tearless eye,
The light of wrath appears.
– – –
Sing, remembering your dreams–
For their dear sakes you must-
If once you pause, your dreams will fall
And be trampled in the dust.
Though the devastating nature of the blow a war deals a country locked in an unprovoked aggression is unquestionable, it is mothers that usually got smote by profound grief, and mourn their children on top of their husbands to say nothing about their brothers and fellow countrymen. The grief becomes all the more entrenched, especially if young children, probably who just stopped breastfeeding, (fledgling), turn victims of blatant aggression.
It is this tragic scenario she witnessed in her time Salomeja painted with darker hues in her poem Starsfall. Her poems 'What would mother have said?' and 'Mother where are you?' are in the same wavelength
The technique the poet here used is a monologue between a mother and a child. The unfamiliar thing here is the response the dead child gives to his mother's question. The child assures his mother others in their footsteps taking their rifles will defend Lithuania.
Star fall
The star keep falling, ever falling,
Cold autumn stars pour from the skies.
And mournful, hoary-haired a mother cries.
"Where is my son?" she weeps, bent
The dead, like little boys, feel cold.
Her living glance, the sky reflecting,
Scans the dead eyes with grief untold.
She finds his eyes, his brow she kisses:
"Arise my son attend to me!"
She beats and sorrows like a seagull
"Who, who will set our country free?"
"Let tempest rage and rave and rave around us,
Autumn its bloody harvest reap.
I will arise, my darling Mother
And set our native country free!"
Let us turn our attention to indegenious poems
An indigenous poem under the lens of Marxist Criticism
Yekeremt Magedoch ( Splinters of wood of winter)
Below is given the paraphrased version of the poem 'Yekeremt Magedoch' by Debebe Seifu taken from his book.
"Like a damp twig, fighting with water, annihilating water, conceiving fire, we delivered fire. A fire, chocked and blinded by smoke we thus afforded peasants have boiled wheat and the working class a warm soup. Thus if we managed to illumine the hovels of the poor with a dimly flickering light let history then chant our songs and posterity commemorate the twists and turns we experienced and the dreary life we lead for the sake of the oppressed."

The progressive members of a society, on the behalf of the oppressed pay selfless sacrifices on the altar of liberation. Gutted down to ashes by fire, splinters (fire woods) serve to cook the foods people eat. Sometimes the splinters get soaked, may be by rain. First the fire has to strike out the water before the splinters glow red. But in the mean time the cooks get chocked and blinded by the smoke, which forces them to continuously blink as well .It is with a brilliant metaphor creating analogy between the progressive members of a society, who sacrifices themselves to liberate the oppressed, with the gutting down of a firewood (splinters) to ashes serving a source of energy for cooking and illumining the dark. Debebe Seifu in his poem 'Yekremt Magedoch' demonstrated literature could be unleashed in supporting the oppressed class and exposing the exploitation of the majority in line with Marxist Criticism. He has managed to show boiled wheat and a warm soup are humble foods. Debebe in this poem shows the income of the peasant and the working class is so meager that it can't afford them even to have these humble foods. He thus exposed the expropriation of peasants and the proletariat by their expropriators. He further showed the progressive members of a society should inexorably fight to see to the catering of bare necessities to peasants and the proletariat. It as well is in line with Socialist Realist's theory of Klassovost.
A hero who did what every one dreams
to make the best of one's self
The hero lived short, yet enormous
Showing what it means to be living
Shining out the flame of his heart
Reveling the power of love
Enjoying miracles of faith
The hero died, buried in hearts
To make more heroes, to wake sprits
The hero died to live longer.
The zigzag in line construction she used on the first stanza shows the persona lived alacritous to the dictates of his wish.///
The End

As I've gotten older, I've found myself needing to give more intentional thought toward keeping my brain sharp and active. Far too often, I find myself scrolling through Facebook reading different posts and getting caught up in celebrity gossip and senseless stories.
However, when I saw this picture, I was totally caught off guard! The image below has been circulating The Internet for weeks now and still, people are talking about it. With a plot-twist of an answer, the brain teaser is capturing everyone's attention.
At first, the puzzle seems simple enough. Clearly, there is a mathematical component to the problem. You would think that the equation would have a simple solution, however, it's not that simple. Just give it a whirl yourself!
The first problem is both easy and silly; three ducks equals 30. So, basic math tells us 30 divided by 3 is 10. Therefore, one duck is worth 10, creating 10 + 10 + 10 = 30. Simple enough!
Continuing on, one duck plus two horses equals 20. If we know that one duck is 10, that leaves a remainder of 10 and two horses. 10 divided by 2 is 5. Therefore, one horse is 5, allowing the problem to be 10 + 5 + 5 = 20.
The third equation is a little more complex with one horse plus two cows equalling 9. This is the first wrench in the wheel of equations because not only does this math not give an even solution, but it's also not written out the same way as the others.
You see, in the third equation, there are five animals! The other equations have only three. That makes things a little more difficult. So, let's take a look at this again, shall we?
This is what we know: one horse is equal to 5. That means we know 5 + four cows = 9. 9 - 5 is 4, and 4 divided by 2 is 1. Therefore, one cow equals 1. The equation is:
5 + (2 x 1) + (2 x 1) = 9
Now, in the final equation, there is one last curveball. The last equation of the brain teaser is one horse times one duck minus one cow. Let's go ahead and replace the animals with the numbers they represent; keeping in mind the order of operations we all learned in seventh-grade math, you would perform the multiplication part of the equation before the subtraction:
(5 x 10) - 1 = 49.
Did you get 49?! I didn't get the correct answer the first time around and that was so confusing! At first, I got 17, and then, after knowing what the correct answer was, I gave it another shot! Finally, I got it! Let us know if you got the answer and share it with your friends to stump them!

We simply looked in the Urban Dictionary for a word that accurately placed value to the artist and their hard work.
A fundi is a master of his or her craft. the name seemed suitable for the growing business. We are constantly looking for more Fundi's making classic contemporary interior products.

Well the downside is that all DWEs leading up to that 4.5-week RNIOBC phase 1 course are largely "unstructured." Some might say "wasted." No PQS material is covered, no book sign-offs are allowed. Since Ensigns need to complete DCOIC before attending RNIOBC, that means a new ENS 1835 may go a year before even starting his or her 3I1 Intel PQS. So the first 12+ months of that 36 month clock to earn one's Intel PQS is usually just lost time.
does this mean that Reserve intel no longer has the option to train in the AC Intel Niobc?

Artist's description:
While living in Tallinn, Estonia I became a bit obsessed with the main local souvenir the Matryoshka. On visiting Russia I found a society with great diversity. I painted a large number of different Matryoshkas showing all types of things I noticed in St Petersburg.
It has now been a few years since moving from Northern Europe but I still get asked to paint Matryoshkas. I have painted 'Kitsch out kitsched as the topic is funny.
At the moment I am re painting a few of them as they all sold too quickly. They look great in a group of two or three.
I post Matryoshkas on their stretcher frames. So you can hang them without needing to get them framed.
Materials used:

Hi everyone! Every Saturday I volunteer at Almost Home Foundation, which is an animal rescue organization that springs about-to-be-euthanized dogs from high kill shelters, puts them in temporary foster homes, and matches them with permanent families. On Saturdays, the dogs are brought to Petsmart stores so that people can meet them in person. My volunteer job is to "handle" one of the dogs, introduce him to people, tell them background information on the dog, and hopefully find him a home! Generally I have a different dog each week. I thought that I would start a new feature on this blog, where I will tell yot u about one of the dogs I met who needs a home. Maybe this way I can help a few dogs and families come together!
This week I was in charge of "Bermuda." (The Almost Home people give the dogs pretty random names, but of course new owners can change the names!)
Bermuda needed a little while to warm up to me. She is clearly not sure about new people. I just sat down on the floor and gave her space, and extended my hand out to her to sniff every once in a while. Soon she was letting me pet her, and then she sat on my lap! By the end of the afternoon, Bermuda was curled up on my lap sleeping, and even occasionally looking up to lick my face!
She still sort of snarled at new people who tried to pet her though... but you just have to be willing to spend twenty minutes or so letting her get to know and trust you!
The thing is, Bermuda has been to the adoption show at Petsmart twice now, and nobody has expressed interest in her. Maybe her shyness puts people off. All I know is, she's an adorable little doggy, housetrained, good with other dogs, good at walking on a leash, etc, who would be a great addition to someone's family!
Bermuda's foster father says he'd like her to find a home without small children... not because she'd hurt a child, but because she is so little and shy, rambunctious and unpredictable kids might be a little too much for her. She'd be perfect for an adult or older kid who wants a lap dog!
If you're interested in meeting Bermuda, check out the Almost Home website for information, or call them at (630) 582-3738.
I really hope Bermuda finds a home!

Perl Scripting in Shared Web Hosting
Perl is available with all the shared web hosting plans that we offer and you are able to execute any .pl file which you upload within your account with the File Manager of the Control Panel or an FTP program. The aforementioned will enable you to create a site with all of the options that you'd like your visitors to have, but PHP fails to provide. You can execute a script either manually or automatically with a cron job. Our packages come with numerous Perl modules which you can employ and you will see a full list in your web hosting account as well as the path which you should include in your scripts, in order to be able to access these modules. If you would like to execute a Perl/CGI script with a cron job but your plan does not offer this feature, you'll be able to include as many cron jobs as you need from the Add Upgrades/Services link on the left-hand side of your website hosting Control Panel.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to use any kind of Perl-based app, including CGI scripts, with any of the semi-dedicated plans that we supply as Perl is supported on our servers. You can make any .pl file executable by setting the correct UNIX permissions for it in the Hepsia Control Panel or through any FTP client and based on the actual script, it can be executed manually as a result of some action your client performs on the site, or automatically via a cron job which you can set up in your account. If you choose to use a script which you've found online and it needs certain modules to be present on the server, you're able to reap the benefits of our vast library which features more than 3000 modules. In this way, you can rest assured that any kind of Perl application that you create or find on the web will work perfectly on our end.

Education is at a critical juncture in many nations around the world. It is vital for student learning, workforce development, and economic prosperity. For example, research in Turkey has found that raising the compulsory education requirement from five to eight years increased the percentage of women having eight years of school by 11 percentage points, and had a variety of positive social consequences.
Yet despite the emergence of digital learning, most countries still design their educational systems for agrarian and industrial eras, not the 21st century. This creates major problems for young people who enter the labor force as well as teachers and parents who want children to compete effectively in the global economy.
In this paper, Darrell West examines how mobile devices with cellular connectivity improve learning and engage students and teachers. Wireless technology and mobile devices:
- Provide new content and facilitate information access wherever a student is located
- Enable, empower, and engage learning in ways that transform the environment for students inside and outside school
- Allow students to connect, communicate, collaborate, and create using rich digital resources, preparing them to adapt to quickly evolving new technologies
- Incorporate real-time assessment of student performance
- Catalyze student development in areas of critical-thinking and collaborative learning, giving students a competitive edge

Listen to this article
The shares of Livedoor, under investigation for alleged market manipulation, were temporarily suspended as a newspaper reported that the Japanese internet company had falsified its 2004 earnings.
In a statement sent to the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday, Livedoor said: "We will make utmost efforts to investigate the fact and will report as soon as we conclude." Trading in the shares was resumed at the start of the afternoon session.
The article in the Yomiuri Shimbun, citing unnamed people, claimed that the company "window-dressed" its account by transferring profits from three affiliates to cover a Y1bn deficit.
The company, already under investigation for suspected market manipulation, was last quoted at Y596, down 14.4 per cent at its lowest daily limit on Tuesday. The plunge in Livedoor's share price reduced the company's market capitalisation by Y105bn.
Late on Monday, Japanese prosecutors and officials from the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission raided Livedoor's offices and the homes of three executives, removing documents and computers in their search for evidence that the group had deliberately misled investors.
The investigation into Livedoor sparked the Tokyo stock market's biggest one-day fall in nine months on Tuesday as concerns grew over allegations that the internet company's top executives may have been directly involved in market manipulation.
On Tuesday the benchmark Nikkei 225 Average fell 2.84 per cent to 15,805.95, its biggest one-day percentage drop since last April. The Tokyo Stock Exchange's Mothers section for start-up companies fell nearly 12 per cent.
Takafumi Horie, Livedoor president, told reporters early on Tuesday that the internet services group was co-operating with investigators and would conduct an internal investigation into the suspicions by the Tokyo District Court's Public Prosecutors Office of illegal activity.
However, the authorities have obtained e-mails to back up allegations that Livedoor deliberately provided misleading information to boost the share price of a subsidiary, leading Japanese newspapers reported on Tuesday.
The prosecutors suspect Mr Horie and two of his deputies gave orders to an internet advertising subsidiary, Livedoor Marketing, to announce the acquisition of a publishing company, even though the publisher was already controlled by Livedoor, Japanese media reported. The allegation is that the false information was intended to boost the share price of Livedoor Marketing, the reports said.
The spreading of such false information in an attempt to boost share prices is a violation of the Securities and Exchange Law and could lead to a fine of up to Y50m ($430,000) or imprisonment of up to five years.
Although the investigation has only just started, the prosecutor's office has a track record of acting only where it has substantial evidence.
"The prosecutor's office is timid when it comes to white collar crime because it has a huge economic impact," says Hiroshi Kamano, a Tokyo lawyer.
The investigation into a high-profile company and its young president, who was revered by many as a model for young Japanese entrepreneurs, has had an impact well beyond the stock market.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was put on the defensive, with Shizuka Kamei, an outspoken member of the Lower House who ran against Mr Horie in last autumn's election, criticising the Japanese leader for choosing the internet entrepreneur as a candidate in his district.

Major makeover for forgotten corner of Panmure Major makeover for forgotten corner of Panmure
A forgotten and neglected historic corner of Panmure is getting a major makeover as part of one of Auckland's biggest transport projects.
Work is underway on upgrading and revitalising Van Damme's Lagoon and reserve as part of Auckland Transport's Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI). Watercare is also carrying out a stormwater pipe upgrade.
Just off Mt Wellington Highway, Van Damme's Lagoon has been through a number of changes in its history.
From the 1870s, the lagoon provided water for steam engines and boilers for the Ireland brothers' tannery, which processed 90 per cent of the Auckland province's leather. Mr Van Damme bought the property in the 1930s, transforming it with landscaping, planting and stocking the ponds with goldfish and carp.
It was later used as a rubbish dump by a company that bought the land, until the local council bought it in 1975 and restored it to a nature reserve. In recent years the water quality has declined and it is difficult to access.
Auckland Transport will improve the stormwater quality and environment while providing an enhanced reserve for the community to enjoy. It will be close to the new AMETI road linking Mt Wellington Highway and Morrin Rd.
Two new carparks will be built to increase access to the lagoon. New and wider pedestrian paths will also be created.
As part of Watercare's pipe bridge upgrade, new timber stairs on the north-eastern side and a new timber boardwalk will be constructed.
The reserve is closed to the public while the work is underway.
Auckland Transport's Project Director, AMETI, Peter King, says the upgrade will have huge environmental and community benefits.
"By working together with Auckland Council and Watercare, we're taking a holistic approach. With a large transport project like this, it is crucial to look at the overall picture to provide the community with an attractive reserve to enjoy as well as providing better transport choices."
Other Van Damme's Lagoon enhancements include:
- a new grassed open space (with amenities)
- weed removal and wetland planting to enhance water quality
- removal of sediment from the lagoon
- construction of a new maintenance access track
- construction of a new deck that will overlook the lagoon
- replacement of existing steps
Work is expected to be completed by mid-2014.
About the AMETI transport projects
The $1.5 billion Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) is a group of transport projects for the south east (Panmure, Mt Wellington, Pakuranga, Howick and Botany).
The aim is to give people in the area better transport choices by improving public transport, walking and cycling facilities and reducing traffic congestion. Other major aims are to create jobs by unlocking the economic potential of the area, improve transport for freight and business traffic and to promote good urban design.
AMETI Phase One: New road linking Mt Wellington Highway and Morrin Rd, Panmure Station upgrade, Van Damme's Lagoon improvements, walking and cycling paths, busway bridge and two bridge replacements.
AMETI Phase Two: Panmure to Pakuranga – new intersection to replace Panmure roundabout, busway from Panmure Station to Pakuranga town centre, walking and cycle paths, Reeves Rd flyover in Pakuranga.
Future Developments: Sylvia Park bus interchange and route improvements, busway extended to Botany along the centre of Ti Rakau Dr, East-West link improvements, extension of new AMETI Rd to Merton Rd.
