KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A resolution to Ukraine's political turmoil remained elusive Wednesday as thousands of people continued rallying on Kiev's Independence Square and besieging key government buildings.
President Viktor Yanukovych was out of the country on an official trip to China and the government showed no signs of yielding. Law enforcement bodies have brought dozens of charges against demonstrators, and nine people remain in detention following Sunday's rally when several hundred thousand protested Yanukovych's decision to freeze ties with the European Union and use force against a handful of peaceful demonstrators last month.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, who survived a chaotic no-confidence vote in Parliament on Tuesday, urged the opposition to end its blockade of government buildings and warned the western regions of the country — where protest strikes were announced — that they may be left without federal funding.
"We must decide all this in a calm environment. Not in the streets, but in a responsible dialogue," Azarov told a Cabinet meeting.
Demonstrators have set up scores of tents on the square, the epicenter of protests against the Ukrainian government, and blocked several streets leading to it with tall barricades of wooden pallets and random material. Large piles of wood dot the square, fuel for fires that keep the demonstrators warm in the freezing temperatures.
"We are now defending ... 46 million people. Either they will defeat us, or we will defeat them," opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk told reporters.
Last month, Yanukovych's government abruptly halted preparations to sign a key political and economic agreement with the EU and focus on ties with Russia instead. Russia has used strong economic pressure to derail the deal, unwilling to lose this former part of its empire to the West.
Anger is also growing about the status of nine demonstrators who were beaten and arrested when riot police violently dispersed protesters outside the presidential administration building on Sunday. Officials have said the action was in response to provocations by the demonstrators, but supporters of the arrested say radical nationalists were responsible.
Six of those arrested are in intensive care and three others are in jail medical units, their relatives told a news conference on Wednesday and they complained the men have been denied adequate legal help.
"They didn't even allow us to send him a lawyer," said Yana Stepanova, the fiancée of Mykola Lazarovskyi, one of those in intensive care.
She said she had lost touch by telephone with him during the demonstration on Sunday, then heard from friends that riot police had routed the protesters.
Hours later, he called and "he said just two words, that he was in the hospital," she said.
Supporters of those arrested say state lawyers who had not met the defendants represented the arrested at court hearings and alleged that independent lawyers are being intimidated against taking any of the cases. The arrested face a possible seven years in prison if convicted of charges of organizing mass protests.
Nina Bolotova, whose husband Yuri was among those and beaten, sarcastically cast doubt on authorities' claim that the arrested were the organizers of the provocations.
"It's interesting to me that out of so many people, the law-enforcement agencies were able to detain the specific organizers," she said.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Kelly O'Dea, 33, says that despite his focus on fitness and dedication to health, he is not a believer in health insurance.
"I take phenomenal care of myself, eating, working out," said O'Dea. "I don't like squandering money on something I'm never going to use."
"We call these people the 'Young Invincibles,'" said Jon Ford, with St. Luke's Health Initiative in Phoenix, Arizona. "People who don't think they're going to get sick. People who don't think they need health insurance coverage."
Ford described the "Young Invincibles" as professionals between the ages of 26 and 34 who also maintain good health.
"The opinion going in is 'I don't need coverage,'" Ford said.
O'Dea said that when the Affordable Care Act goes into effect on January 1 he has no desire to enroll. In fact, he feels he is being forced into something against his will.
"It's a major infringement on our liberties, I feel," O'Dea said. "I don't feel right that I'm being forced to buy something."
But people like O'Dea will face a penalty on January 1 if they still choose to go without health insurance. How it works is those who choose not to buy insurance will face a $95 fine or one percent of their income. After the first year is up, the penalty increases to $325 or two percent of taxable income.
"The first year I'll have to figure out," said O'Dea. "the first year it seems the penalty is the more promising route."
O'Dea said that the only reason he might consider purchasing health insurance is to protect himself against an unexpected catastrophic event.
"If it has the catastrophic at a reasonable rate and it's not too burdensome with where you can't go," O'Dea said, "what you can't do, what you're covered for and what you're not covered for."
Also come January 1, it will be required to cover dependents. Parents who do not cover their children by the deadline would face a penalty for each uninsured child.

Thanks all for your input. This forum is such an asset!
You'll be glad to know I fixed the problem with your help.
First off I tried the cap from data to ground. This fixed the issue at 60% of the problem points. The rest required a combination approach, with one set (There are 6 sets of these led chains running independently) needing a bypass cap on the supply to the first board, caps on the data line on two of the other boards, and a resistor to stop reflections on one of those boards as well!
Wicked job

JERSEY SHORE -- One by one Ethan Sojka took wooden blocks out of a plastic box at Land of Oz Learning Center and started arranging them in a line. With each block he set on the ground, he would walk along them, one foot in front of the other, as though balancing on a tightrope.
Ethan is a 3-year-old boy dubbed with the title "Our Little Hero" at the Forked River learning center. Just two weeks ago, Ethan helped save the life of his neighbor.
While in his playroom in his Bayville home the morning of Jan. 3, Ethan heard someone calling for help. He told his father Jack Sojka, who couldn't hear the cry from anywhere but the playroom.
Jack Sojka ran outside where he found that his 67-year-old neighbor fell 20 feet from a ladder.
"He couldn't move. Any longer, he could've died," Jack Sojka said.
Police and emergency services arrived at the scene. Dale Cottrell was airlifted to Jersey Shore Medical Center for treatment of severe injuries that were sustained in the fall.
"The guy was freezing. He must have been on the ground for half an hour. It was so cold. Hypothermia was probably setting in already," Pat Sperber of the Bayville First Aid Squad said. "He's lucky to be alive. He took a really, really bad fall. Luckily (Ethan) heard somebody yelling."
Cottrell was on the ladder cutting the top piece of a tree when it began to sway, causing him to lose his balance, son Chris Cottrell said.
Chris Cottrell was at work at the time and received a phone call advising him to go home. He arrived approximately half an hour later.
There was happiness in his voice as Chris Cottrell said he was "thankful" that Ethan heard his father's cry for help.
"I guess he spends a lot of time in that picture window. He just happened to be there at the right time and heard him. The right place at the right time," Chris Cottrell said.
Dale Cottrell suffered a "laundry list" of injuries, Chris Cottrell said, including a dislocated elbow, two fractured ribs and nine different fractures in his back.
"He's doing a lot better now," he said.
After spending a week in the hospital, Dale Cottrell is now at a rehabilitation facility, where he'll be for two weeks.
Had Dale Cottrell fallen slightly to the left or right, he would have struck a tree stump or a fence post, Chris Cottrell said.
"He didn't hit his head. His legs are working fine. He's up and walking…He really got lucky," he said. "We're very happy that Ethan heard him. That was smart thinking on his part."
Jack Sojka was surprised yet proud that Ethan sought the help of an adult, but not quite sure how he knew to do so.
"It's just something he did. We never told him what to do in that type of situation," he said. "The cops told me he did a good job."
Ethan continued to run circles in the playroom in Land of Oz and gather wooden blocks, every now and then stopping to share a piece of his story.
Ethan said he wasn't scared by what happened and was "happy" to see his neighbor get help.
"He's always been very kind and concerned with all his friends," said Pamela DePasquale, Director of the Land of Oz, as Ethan played. She described Ethan as "aware" and "gentle."
"It didn't surprise us at all," she said.
The school does teach its young students to call 911 when there's trouble, she said.
"The next best thing is going to his father," she said.
But even with those school-taught lessons, it's "uncommon" for a child Ethan's age to act in such a situation, she said. Most would continue playing.
A photo of Ethan is pinned to the bulletin board at Land of Oz. With a grand smile, Ethan is holding a certificate that says, "Awesome!"
"He saved a man's life. It's a pretty big deal. He did a good job," DePasquale said.

Some students at a Texas high school pulled a Christmas tree prank on their teachers.
And they got them good!
The prank starts when the students ask their teachers to read a Christmas greeting next to a Christmas tree. However, someone is actually hiding in the tree. He suddenly moves, making the Christmas tree look alive and making the teachers jump.
The video was made by students in the school's advanced media course. The student in the tree's name is Rowdy Cayce.

A federal grant, totaling nearly $1 million, will help the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources improve Medicaid services in the state.
The $999,947 grant comes from the Department of Health and Human Services' Adult Medicaid Quality Grant Program, which helps states develop a system of data reporting and collection to evaluate the quality of health care provided to Medicaid recipients. This data allows states to evaluate how they can improve care for Medicaid beneficiaries.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., has championed Medicaid services for West Virginia. He said the state can use the money to further gather information that can help improve the quality of life for many West Virginians.
"Making sure that every American has access to quality, affordable health care is at the heart of the health reform law, and to realize that goal we must look at what can be done better," he said. "This grant gives West Virginia the opportunity to assess the care Medicaid enrollees are receiving and use that information to strengthen the quality of that care and the overall Medicaid program."
More than 438,000 West Virginians, or 23 percent of the population, are enrolled in the Medicaid program.
The Adult Medicaid Quality Grant program was created by the Affordable Care Act, which included provisions that invest in the development and reporting of quality of care measures and create incentives for providers who meet quality goals or show progress in improving patient outcomes.

- Awesome place!beaufortfoodiesDined on 9/12/2014Big wow. We go once a week and bring our out of town guests here for great martinis, great wine and artistically presented culinary offerings.Special Features:
- Local hot spotdlogs59VIPDined on 9/12/2014Fresh Local ingredients. My wife started with terrific Caesar salad and fell in live with the tomato pie but had mixed reviews for the shrimp small plate that she felt lacked seasoning. I had a large plate cioppino that had great flavor and ample seafood but could use some more local fish to balance the local shrimp and scallops. Based on our experience we would skip dessert.Special Features:
- Wonderful outstanding foodSusieQDined on 9/6/2014We visited Aqua Restaurant based on other reviews. We are so glad we chose them for our anniversary dinner. The food was wonderful and used local seafood and other local ingredients in the dishes. Each dish was brought out one at a time so it could be savored and enjoyed. The server did an excellent job of pacing the meal and providing guidance on our selections. There were many thoughtful touches through out the restaurant but clearly the best aspect is the excellent food. I would have expected to pay more for such a wonderful meal. We will definitely return for another visit in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DesigngirlDined on 9/5/2014Great place...really enjoyed the small plate selection. Food was wonderful:)Special Features:
- BobandBettyDined on 9/2/2014Possibly the best pork tenderloin I have every tasted! We love Aqua, unfortunately it seems, only for special occasions as it is too pricy for more regular dining. A couple of years back we were more frequent visitors during the off season when they had a BOGO program going on. Wish they would bring it back so that Aqua could be a more frequent part of our eating out budget.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding servicefoodieDined on 8/30/2014Not only is the food outstanding, but a little mix-up in the kitchen caused our waiter, manager and the chef to come out and apologize. They brought a huge dessert sampler on the house and the item I had ordered was removed from the bill.. I have never felt so appreciated as a customer! Not only have I told all the foodies I know, but this will go on social media...You absolutely must try this restaurant if you love well crafted exceptional food:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great little back alley gem!Brewski519Dined on 8/29/2014My wife and I have been here a half dozen times now and we order 4-6 small plates to share each time we go. We have NEVER been disappointed. They even sent us home with a small bottle of champagne after our Anniversary Dinner. If you go during the summer, make sure you sit out on the screened in porch with the ceiling fans! Great wine list and craft beer list (which scores points with me! ). I promise, you won't be disappointed with this little seaside village back alley gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Dining! We love this place!NeddaIDined on 8/22/2014Food was great! The service was exceptional. If you live in the Beaufort, NC area or are just a visitor, this is a must visit restaurant to add to your list. We were greeted when we walked through the door by someone who was genuinely thrilled to have us join them for dinner and from that point forward the service and the experience were amazing. The menu offers a variety of options, tapas, small plates and regular dinner size portions. All of the dishes have a wonderful twist to make them interesting and enticing - try the tomato pie or the fried green tomatoes served with habanero cheddar pimento cheese as a starter. Service was top notch. We remembered the server who had waited on us the first time and asked for her again. Delightful!Special Features:
- WHat A Great Little PlacejcalbiVIPDined on 8/22/2014We found Aqua thanks to the Open Table App. Took a vacation to Emerald Isle, NC and we were looking for something a little more unique to the area and was also kid friendly (2 eleven year old girls). Food was fantastic, loved the vibe of the lace, especially the outdoor space. Friday was wine lovers night which was 1/3 off all bottles (and the prices were reasonable to start!). We were never rushed and our server was engaging and quite personable. This will be a must on our next visit to the crystal coast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun Find in BeaufortLaurasTravelNotesDined on 8/21/2014Our family, including my father and mother (who was celebrating her 78th birthday) enjoyed our dinner at Aqua. We had not heard of this restaurant and I just made a reservation based on great reviews. (Thanks to Open Table - this was easy!) And, I'm happy to say, the restaurant lived up to its reputation! Each of us (6 total) ordered a different small plate in addition to a couple of appetizers and salads. Each dish was creative, seasonal, and presented beautifully. We all were extremely satisfied with our choices. And, to top off the celebration, we had birthday creme brulee -- delicious! Next time we are on the Crystal Coast - we will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Finer dining on the Crystal CoastMikeSVIPDined on 8/19/2014While not exactly haute cuisine, Aqua is certainly a good few notches above the typical restaurant at the North Carolina shore. Seven of us have been there the past two summers and have been quite happy to find a place that serves imaginative dishes in a friendly atmosphere. From the tapas menu, the tomato pie was a hit. So too was the watermelon salad, chuncks of pitless fruit covered by arugala, feta and pumpkin seeds with an ancho chili dressing for some kick. The swordfish, tuna and petit filet small plates were a hit as was the bouillabaise large plate. We were there on WineOrama night, a four wine tasting for $10, a real bargain for nice pours of two whites and two reds. If you find yourself in Beaufort, NC, or nearby, go to Aqua.
- AquaMD123Dined on 8/19/2014The hostess (owner?) was abrupt to the point of rudness; however, the staff was wonderful. Incredible meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent Dining ExperiencemangiarabeneDined on 8/16/2014We've dined at Aqua on several occasions when visiting the area and would highly recommend it. Food is outstanding, staff is knowledgeable and attentive. We had an unexpected change in the time we had reserved and found the staff extremely accommodating. It is a "must do" when we are at Beaufort.Special Features:
- A true diamondeatthefactsDined on 8/14/2014We (2) were given a comfortable booth fit for four. Hostess was social in an affable way. Small wait for waitress, who was great., only appeared when needed. She was never hovering and never AWOL. The tomato pie, which I'd never had before was a fabulous Southern treat. My girl had the "small plate" pork tenderloin and has never had pork so tender and it's accompaniment with pears was a true Master's touch. My tuna "small plate" was done perfectly. For dessert we selected a "large" creme' brulee which was perfect and comfortably enough for two. Thursday night and it was $5 martini night. Two martini's each and not even a tingle, these drinks would have been overpriced at $2. Next time I will just have coffee and a nip in the car.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite restaurant in Beaufort!WIgirlDined on 8/12/2014Every time I go to Beaufort for dinner or drinks I visit Aqua; there is no reason to try a different restaurant because the menu changes according to the seasons and I have never been let down by the food I have had. I always take my friends and family there and now it is one of their favorite restaurants too! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys food, wine, martinis, and a relaxing atmosphere with a kind and knowledgeable staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visit herefoodieDined on 8/9/2014This restaurant is a foodie's paradise. The flavors and presentation were perfect. My entree was point on, my husband's filet however was sent out well-done instead of the medium he requested. That was the only negative in the entire meal. Great attention by server! Will be back:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerTigermanDined on 8/9/2014Best meal that I've had on the Crystal Coast. We were early and our meal could have been rushed, but the waitress paced the service perfectly. We mixed salads with an appetizer and "small plates". Coupled with a creme brûlée that we couldn't finish, it was a great celebration feast! Did I mention, all the preparations were outstanding?Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/8/2014An absolutely impeccable experience. We split the small plates and had more than enough. Pomme frites were perfectly crispy, the tomato pie was delicious, and crab cake was wonderful. This will be our go-to from here out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- FoodieDined on 7/29/2014The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. The tuna was my favorite as well as the crab cakes. They accomodate people with special dietary needs which is great since one person in my party only eats gluten free. The creme brulee is huge so it is great for a big group or to take home for later. I love the screened in porch because the flies stay away! It is kid friendly and nicely hidden from the crowds.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not very cozy.HarbourlightsDined on 7/26/2014Waitress was too rushed. Had several servers after the initial order was taken by waitress. Very hurried waitress. Nice painted smile, but not very genuine. I will return after the Labor Day when dining isn't so hectic. Thanks to the restaurant for the wonderful birthday desert.Special Features:

We did a mix of, salad, tapas, and small plates (and some are not that small). The 1/3 off a bottle of wine on Friday is a nice offering. The petit filet was done perfectly. A Cesar Salad and petit filet is a great dinner. We will return.Special Features:

- bluedevilluvDined on 7/19/2014Had reservation but still had to wait an hour. Menu was limited and not tasty. staff not helpful or friendly
- GingerbearDined on 7/18/2014Aqua feels like a metropolitan restaurant in a tiny coastal town. Its outdoor porch feels like a restaurant in Ocracoke and inside feels like a hip bar in Manhattan. The servers are solicitous and attentive, but not intrusive. Try lots of small plates and share. That's our strategy and it has worked every time! We had a salad, 4 small plates, and 3 desserts and all were equally delicious. I sat facing the kitchen and saw a lot of petite filet mignon served; it is a house specialty. Go with friends, enjoy the wine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Evening Out with FriendsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014Had not dined at Aqua in a few yrs, but continue to hear good things and reviews. We made a reservation and received a friendly greeting from the hostess. Our server Lisa provided excellent service, very knowledgeable about the food and wine! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. All plates were beautifully presented, but a lacking in flavor. Over all a very nice experience but I wanted to be WOWED by the food! The petit beef filet was the only dish with WOW flavor. Prices were reasonable for the very good quality of the food. Likely to return next time I visit Beaufort!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This was so heflpul and easy! Do you have any articles on rehab?
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iopnhe and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Its really great to see Amplitude board tspros up and running with some fantastic stock to browse through and wet the appetite of the seasoned and wanna-be surfers (I am definitely the latter). Good luck team with the future and I am eagerly waiting in anticipation for the arrival of my bamboo T's so I can scrutinise and review them for everyone who doesn't know they need one yet can order one.

MySQL Server Performance Analysis and Tuning - Canberra
Wednesday, September 5, 2012 (All day)
Saxons @ Atlas Training Centre, Canberra ACT 2600
This module teaches you how to tune a MySQL server based on the needs of the application and the restrictions of the environment. As this is not a one-off job, we start from a sensible baseline configuration, then gather and analyse runtime information to further tune a server over time.
We look at the general and InnoDB specific server options and how they interact, log files (including the MariaDB enhancements for slow query logging), and reviewing and interpreting the statistical data available in the server. Of course there are graphical and command line tools for this, but we teach you how it all works so you can chose appropriate tools and use them to optimal advantage.
We also review which settings can be simply changed at runtime, and which require special procedures.
We use MariaDB 10.0 with XtraDB as our baseline for this module, so the information presented is similar to Percona Server 5.6, and a superset of stock (Oracle) MySQL 5.6
This course will be be taught by danblack in Canberra.

16 U.S. Code § 6206 - Cabin user fees
(a) In general
The Secretary shall establish the cabin user fee as the amount that is equal to 5 percent of the market value of the lot, as determined in accordance with section 6205 of this title, reflecting an adjustment to the typical market rate of return due to restrictions imposed by the permit, including—
(b) Fee for caretaker cabin
The base cabin user fee for a lot on which a caretaker cabin is located shall not be greater than the base cabin user fee charged for the authorized use of a similar typical lot in the tract.
(c) Annual cabin user fee in the event of determination not to reissue authorization
If the Secretary determines that an authorization should not be reissued at the end of a term, the Secretary shall—
(1) establish as the new base cabin user fee for the remaining term of the authorization the amount charged as the cabin user fee in the year that was 10 years before the year in which the authorization expires; and
(d) Annual cabin user fee in event of changed conditions
If a review of a decision to convert a lot to an alternative public use indicates that the continuation of the authorization for use and occupancy of the cabin by the cabin owner is warranted, and the decision is subsequently reversed, the Secretary may require the cabin owner to pay any portion of annual cabin user fees that were forgone as a result of the expectation of termination of use and occupancy of the cabin by the cabin owner.
(e) Termination of fee obligation in loss resulting from acts of God or catastrophic events
On a determination by the agency that, because of an act of God or a catastrophic event, a lot cannot be safely occupied and the authorization for the lot should accordingly be terminated, the fee obligation of the cabin owner shall terminate effective on the date of the occurrence of the act or event.

A D.C. firefighter, who has previously been arrested on gun and drug charges, has been arrested again.
Deonta Ramon Taylor was taken into custody Wednesday by D.C. Police and is now facing drug charges for the second time in less than a year.
In 2010, Taylor was arrested on a charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana as well as carrying a pistol without a license.
According to online court records, the marijuana charge was dismissed when prosecutors told the judge they were not ready to try the case.
Court records also show Taylor went to trial on the gun charge and was found not guilty.
But now the 26-year-old is in trouble again. He was arrested Wednesday on an outstanding warrant and will go before a judge Thursday on a new drug charge. The exact charge and the evidence against the firefighter could not be learned.
A source familiar with the process tells FOX 5 that Taylor has been on administrative leave for quite some time and had been scheduled for a disciplinary hearing when he was arrested.
D.C. Fire and EMS did not return FOX 5's calls seeking comment.
In February of 2010, D.C. Police say they found more than $3,000 in cash, marijuana and a loaded SIG Sauer .40-caliber handgun in Taylor's car after police say the firefighter ran a red light in southeast D.C.
But Taylor went to court and was found not guilty.

It's that time again :p
At 4 years old our Athlon 3000 systems are showing their age (and having to be rebuilt to fix the mistakes the manufacturer made!) so replacement time. Previously were using Stone until a dispute with an order, they've now lost a lot of business but their loss :rolleyes:
Looking at big brand machines now, preferably the stable image type hardware as we can't buy in big batches. Looking at HP dc7900s but they're not cheap - about 470 odd without monitor. Don't want Dell tbh and their equivalent spec is nearly 200 quid more than HP (this is comparing like for like via the website before special pricing)
Seems hardware has really shot up at the mo, spec needs to be good to last, no point buying low spec now that won't hack it in a few years time...
- Core2Duo 3GHz or above (E8400, 8500 etc)
- 2GB RAM minimum
- 80GB HD or higher
- DVD writer
- Mini tower case
Monitor to be added on later but usually LG now, seem to come in about £90ish for a 19" (non widescreen because of NetSupport :p )
Anyone bought any batches recently and doesn't mind saying what they got em for?

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - People who live in the Cleveland, Ohio community where three women were held captive are asking one another if they knew the suspects. It turns out one San Diego resident knows all three.
Flipping through memories from his high school yearbook in Cleveland, Joseph Rider is simply dumbfounded to think his closest childhood friends Ariel, Onil and Pedro Castro are accused in the kidnapping the entire nation is talking about.
"If this really happened the way it's coming down… we didn't know. No one knew, supposedly," Joseph said.
Joseph grew up on the west side of Cleveland across the street from the three brothers.
"They were never in trouble. I don't remember them ever being in trouble in school," he said.
Police say three women and a six-year-old girl were being held against their will inside Ariel Castro's home. Joseph says it's about a mile from where they grew up, and it's shocking because Ariel was the most normal brother out of the three.
"That would be the one in that family you'd least suspect of anything. He was the mellowest, the quietest," Joseph said.
On Ariel Castro's Facebook page, the 52-year-old suspect says he has five grandchildren and recently wrote "Miracles really do happen. God is good."
But Joseph says his childhood friends' life changed dramatically about a decade ago.
"It looks like (Ariel Castro) got divorced right before the first girl came missing," he said.
Joseph was living in Cleveland when all three women disappeared, and often bumped into the Castro brothers during the years they're accused of imprisoning the victims. Joseph even gave Ariel tickets to a rock concert.
"And now it's like, I guess he kept that hidden very good," Joseph said.
Joseph is still hoping there's some sort of mix-up, and says the Castros are innocent until proven guilty.
"Hopefully they were not involved, but if all three were involved, that really goes to show you that you can't sometimes judge people," he said.

A helicopter with a monsoon bucket has arrived on the scene of a scrub fire east of Whangarei.
The blaze, which has burned through about three hectares of bush near Pataua South, is thought to have been started by flares being set off into the scrub.
Fire Service spokesman Jaron Phillips told NZ Newswire the area was inaccessible.
The fire, which started about 10.30am on Sunday, has been fanned by moderate breezes in the area.
Mr Phillips says there is no risk to any property.

Man's Inhumanity to ManPosted by EarthMother, May 11 2009, 10:06 PM
Billy, in his customary illuminating fashion, brings up a phenomenon that I have long pondered, that being the ability, if not seeming determination, for people to direct unnecessary cruelty at others of their kind, whatever the criteria may be for determining that kind-ship.
Believe me, its not a behavior reserved for gay men! Women sit at café tables shaking their heads in disgust at Barbies inability to lose the baby weight no wonder her husband jumped at the chance to screw Tina when she threw herself at him. Black men call their women ho and black women call their men nigger and terms of denigration are casually accepted between siblings and friends, parents and children. Entire reality TV shows are comprised of watching ramped-up, skinny, hyena-people forcing the biggest losers to punish themselves with weekly humiliation until they either comply with acceptable weight standards (and, no, its NOT about their health, people) or get kicked off the show; groups of washed-up, semi-celebrities compete for Donald Trumps alternating abuse and approval by proving they can be the coldest bitches or most Machiavellian manipulators possible; Survivors are the ones who turn out to be not the ones who foster cooperation, teamwork and equal sharing of the problems they encounter, but rather the ones who can come up with the underhanded plan, the phony alliance, the way to cheat the odds. And we wonder why corruption rules our governments, our economy crumbles, and 50% of marriages end in divorce?
I recently read a fascinating article about a new movement afoot in New York Mad Pride, led by the members of the Icarus Project. These people have all been deemed mentally ill by the so-called normal society around them. Theyve been (over)medicated, electrocuted and institutionalized. But now, theyre fighting back. Now theyre reframing for themselves, and for those of us open enough to learn from their courageous example, the idea of schizophrenia and manic-depression, among others, as horrible illnesses (and the HIV/AIDS community talks about stigma!) and turning them into dangerous gifts, conditions that can be ecstatic, creative, productive and even spiritual. As the author of the article, Alissa Quart, spent some time with the Icarus group, she began to see that through all that these people had gone through, both from their actual conditions as well as the treatments theyd been subjected to, they have, as she said, taken their suffering and created from it as all-too-rare thing: a community.
Heres hoping that in this crazy world, these well-intentioned madmen and women find a way to hold onto their humanity towards each other more tenaciously than way too many of us have.

This gun was just pulled from the canal behind America's most famous haunted house. It could change everything we thought we knew about the grisly murders that took place there 38 years ago.
Photographed by Bill Pfeiffer | Licensed to Alpha Media Group 2012
The team of divers on the Coles Avenue bulkhead in Amityville, New York, just one block down from the most famous haunted house in America, quiets for a heartbeat.
"Please say again," recovery diver Bill Pfeiffer replies into the transmitter.
"We're gonna need an evidence bag," repeats geophysicist Kyle Kingman, from the motorboat, floating 70 feet out from the bulkhead in the empty canal. "We have a part of a pistol."
"It's definitely a pistol?" Pfeiffer asks.
It's January, and the upper-30s waterfront weather is chilly, but mild by the standards of Long Island winters. The sun is out, but most of the locals' boats have been put away for the season, and the canal, which runs behind a tidy row of large Colonial homes with private boathouses, feels deserted.
When the gun's discovery is announced, the team of a half-dozen or so recovery divers and underwater archaeologists breaks into a scene of restrained excitement.
It's then that Ryan Katzenbach—the man paying for everyone to be there—jumps onto the bulkhead. The 37-year-old filmmaker sports a patchy beard, a permanently flushed face, and a uniform of torn jeans and sports shades that makes him look like a cross between Dan Cortese and a Wayne's World extra. He had stepped away to take a phone call, and when he got back and saw the commotion—caused by the crew he brought here as part of the production of Shattered Hopes, his documentary on the Amityville murders—he knew instantly what they had found.
"Are you shitting me?!" he screams.

I love this dress!! This was my 2nd dress I tried on and absoltuely loved it!! Very lightweight (exactly what I wanted because we're having a beach wedding) and comfortable. It formed perfectly to my body. I didnt think I would like the sash that you can buy to go around your dress, but as soon as my consultant put it on I was in LOVE! I would recomment this dress! Very beautiful, my bridesmaids and moms cried when they seen me in this!! March 15, 2013
wonderfull I tried on about five dresses and was feeling a little let down until the consultant brought this one and I loved it. The dress feels great, it is so light weight but doesn't feel cheap.I am very happy with my purchase. March 5, 2013
Must Try on to Appreciate I knew what I wanted. I had my consultant (the poor thing) pull a ton of dresses and each one I swore was the one, I nixed. She grabbed this one and I did NOT like it but said okay I will try it. THANK GOD. I finally felt like the bride to be. I broke out in goosebumps and started crying. which I am so Not that girl. Its beautiful on. So flattering. So classic and elegant. After I took it off two other girls asked to try it on. Thats how you know its a great dress. January 30, 2013
IN LOVE never in a million years would i have picked this dress. I have viewed many online and this would be something i would overlook everytime. Thankfully my consultant pulled the dress. At first i was a little worried that it would be too plain, but with the right sash the dress pops. There is so much attention to detail on the back and with such an effortless style the sash really makes the dress elegant. January 7, 2013

I am ever the outsider here. This was the glummest vehicle in a age for me. What did I miss? And was the stupor the audience appeared to be in (I mean, no reactions whatsoever) the result of some profound involvement on its part? Upside? My companion had a long (perhaps much-needed) nap in exchange for the price of ticket.

This was a very touching, heartfelt and deeply moving play. the dialogue was true to life and I found myself deeply drawn into the life of this family. It was so real I felt I was brought into the inner circle of an actual family. I highly recommend this to all.

I think the disparity between the reader reviews is a result of what you expect from a show. If you expect Dramatic Action, with a capital D and a capital A, and if you expect literal naturalism you will hate this play. While the acting style is certainly naturalistic, the play itself operates far more on the level of metaphor than naturalism. If you take it on that level, it's a lovely and beautiful meditation on life and relationships and how fragile they can be. As for nimbleengine's "reality check" - stagegrade, a review aggregator, gives it a solid B+ - with very few outright negative reviews: http://www.stagegrade.com/productions/698

The acting in "A Small Fire" is superb! In an outstanding performance, the actors are transformed by the events in the plot. In a tremendous performance, the actors hold the audience in their internal conflict just long enough to transform each and every one of us. Mr. Birney's John Bridges is a brilliant performance and just this sort of experience. You are torn apart by the scene where he sits at the kitchen table, hugging is wife, and struggling to reach for his daughter. You can feel the intense guilt of schadenfreude, when he confesses he is enjoying smells intensely now that his wife has lost her ability to smell. Leaving the theater, I was reminded of Leonard Cohen's lyrics: "Forget your perfect offering, There is a crack, a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in." Let some light in your life. Go see "A Small Fire." You will never be so pleasantly surprised by laughter.

This is a must see play. Try to see it before the limited run is over. Yes, it has depressing qualities but it also has stunning portions of exuberance, laughter and connection to powerful loving feelings. It's just like life in a 90 minute microcosm. Don't be afraid of the comments that call it depressing. It embraces and explores life fully with pathos, humor, pain and trauma.
I went expected an uneven script by the writer but found that the acting performances, particularly by the husband Reed Birney swept me into someone's world when they find themselves becoming the lone caregiver. The review mentioned what I thought truly depicted the powerful acting Birney brought to the role; the wedding reception. What joy and what pathos came from that actor in his brief monologue. Throughout the play he carried such a tornado of quiet powerful expressive emotions that could explode at any moment. What depth he brought to the stage.
The play grabs you at a gut level and squeezes then soothes as it takes you through a personal trauma a somewhat dysfunctional family, experiences in a health trauma.
Spend 90 minutes of your time to see and feel a remarkable play. So little of theatre today grabs you on this level. The performances by the actors are worth triple the price of admission. Birney's performance is gold.

Interesting how polar these reader reviews are. I saw A SMALL FIRE in previews, knowing the basic premise. I'm a jaded old theater person and it takes a lot to engage me. My guest did not share my response, but I came home to my husband and weepingly told him about what I had been through watching the play. He sad "Wow, sounds like you experienced catharsis." I don't usually identify so strongly with characters, but I found this woman's journey terrifying. Hats off to Pawk and Birney for grounding us in this fable dressed in realism. Yes, I definitely experienced an emotional purging, which sure doesn't happen often at the theater. I left so grateful for health, my marriage, the ability to connect, work and thrive. I still feel its impact. And the phrase: you gotta live a little bit bigger than you think you can -- what a great anthem for 2011.

I saw this play in previews and was incredibly moved. The acting, direction, scenic, sound, and lighting design, and yes, the script, combined to form a tight and compelling whole. The wedding scene had me in tears by the end, and the play keeps returning to me again and again. It's a beautifully crafted piece of theater.
[SPOILER ALERT] The real gem at the heart of this piece is the relationship between Mr. & Mrs. Bridges. It is their story that resonates most, though the daughter subplot struggles to keep up with it, it just is not quite compelling enough. I did like the fact that there is no pat wrap-up to the tumultuous mother-daughter relationship, it just didn't seem as important to me to have that relationship patched up.
I loved this play and can't recommend it enough. Definitely the best thing I've seen in the past few weeks, and hopefully we will have more challenging, dangerous work like this, both from Mr. Bock and throughout 2011.

despite the skewed review above (and potential ticket buyers should know that this paper was the only one to give this trivial skit a good review--check out all the others) i am starting to believe that maybe there are no new good plays, or at least they don't get to the producers who matter. "a small MISfire" felt like someone trying to be surrealistic by cutting up a hallmark card. or something like that. it is really short, though, so that's one good thing.

One of the most depressing shows we have seen; however the last moments almost made up for it. Great acting all around but the script could use some tweaking.

I didn't know what this play was about for the longest time and then I suddenly found myself deeply, deeply moved. The performances are perfect, especially Ms. Pawk. It's a short play but made me look at how I was living my life in a way that made me step onto 42nd street eager to appreciate life anew.

Beautiful storytelling, perfectly acted by all. Don't miss this show.
— Joe, New York City
January 7th, 20119:19 pm
my two star rating isn't bad necessarily, it's just that there is too much aimless small talk that stalls the action and character description. and for a 90 minute play that means too little is said or exposed. when she visits the doctor all we get is a door she enters and exits and merely says "nothing can be done". if this was a more abstractly styled production or script that may be enough, but it's realistic enough that one expects at least one phone call further to the doctor or a scene with the doctor. i was pleased to see the big gentle construction worker is gay because it wasn't awkwardly wedged into the plot, plus he is adorable. i felt bad that i forgot this production so easily.

Michele Pawk and Reed Birney are always good. Here they are great. This can't happen without the material to support them. I've seen it twice and marveled at the work both time. (Knowing where the play was going enriched my second visit powerfully.)
— Jeffrey Sweet, New York
January 6th, 20116:55 pm
This play started of in a strange slow naturalism but soon began it's beautiful devastation. Many of the emotional moments land in the silences, having been set up in the scenes prior. The acting is wonderful and the characters are well-drawn, with the exception of the daughter who may have been underwritten. But the overall effect of the play was intensely powerful--a poetic rendering of loss of self and profound love. (I meant to give this five stars but ineptly got stuck with two and can't seem to alter it. ***** 5 stars!!!!)
— A. Palmer, New York, NY
January 5th, 20119:22 pm
Very little happens in this play, which has been miscast from top to bottom. A woman loses most of her senses and.....nothing. There is so little tension in the story and so little to care about that I found my mind wandering for most of the show's 80 minutes. Until, I guess, that final sexually adventurous scene. But still, what a drag. Maybe with a different cast and a smaller theater there would be something here.

January 5th, 20119:22 pm
i could not figure out what this writer was up to, nor could he i fear. what has happened to the art of storytelling? the young mr. bock--and i assume he is young because he is still learning--has substituted mood for craft, and ended up telling a murkily unmoving Lifetime movie about a woman who goes blind and deaf and the people who love her. but the acting is fantastic, especially the leading woman. unfortunately, the play gets unintended laughs and one feels embarrassed for the actors by the end.

Inside Wall Street: Chipotle may remain weak
The once high-flying operator of Mexican fast-casual restaurants continues to face stiff competitive pressure.
The bears, however, disagree. Buying shares of Chipotle now would be a hasty move and could leave you with "dead money" in the stock for some time. Some wary Chipotle watchers warn that increased competition from some hot rivals, particularly Taco Bell, a unit of YUM Brands (YUM), will continue to adversely impact same-store sales and restrain Chipotle's ability to raise prices.
Jim Yin, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ who tracks Chipotle, has just downgraded his recommendation on the stock to a "sell" from "hold," as he cut his 2012 earnings forecast by 9 cents a share, to $8.99. For 2013, the analyst is keeping his profit estimate of $9.56 a share, but cautions that the stock, which has plunged some 40% from its high of $442 in mid-April 2012, will continue to falter and fall.
The stock, which dropped to as low as $236 on Oct.23, 2012, is now trading at $291. But Yin is far from impressed. His 12-month price target for the stock is $250 a share. The major problem he sees is slowing sales and narrowing profit margins.
"We think operating margins will be pressured because of increasing competition from Taco Bell, as well as by higher food input costs in 2013," says Yin. He warns that Taco Bell is expanding its "Cantina Bell" menu offerings that directly compete with Chipotle's popular Mexican-style food specialties, including a new steak marinade, quesadillas, and fajitas.
The analyst believes that Taco Bell's wider menu offerings, aided by increased advertising volume to back them up, will make it difficult for Chipotle to raise prices, which would crimp operating margins. He expects same-store sales growth in 2013 will fall below Chipotle's historical average in the mid- and high-single digits because of the impact of the growing competition and a slow-growing U.S. economy.
Chipotle, which operates more than 1,300 fast-casual Mexican food restaurants in the U.S., Europe and Canada, is increasingly feeling the heat from rivals that have introduced higher quality foods even as they continue to imitate Chipotle's fast-casual restaurant concept.
The increasing concern is that many of Chipotle's customers may end up trading down to its rivals' lower-priced alternatives that could be more appetizing than its own offerings.
To counteract the onslaught of its rivals' initiatives, Chipotle is stepping up the opening of new stores, which analysts believe will drive the company's future growth. At the end of 2011, Chipotle had 1,230 restaurants. It increased that number to more than 1,300 this year.
Generally, new restaurants contribute a great deal to the company's revenue growth. However, that may not be enough of a strategy to prevent competitors from biting into Chipotle's turf.
Yin expects Chipotle's restaurant margins will drop to 27% in 2013, down from 28% in 2012, due in part to the elevated cost of food and other commodities. Operating margins are also expected to narrow, figures Yin, to 16.8% next year from 17.3% in 2012.
As huge as the $217 billion U.S restaurant industry market, it is extremely crowded -- and highly competitive. It continues to be dominated by the giants in the business, including McDonald's (MCD), Wendy's (WEN), Burger King (BKW), and Yum Brands.
The fast-casual restaurant sector in which Chipotle competes is characterized by convenient food that's focused on fresh and healthy ingredients, as well as made-to-order dishes priced at relatively lower costs.
Chipotle has distinguished itself from the rest of the crowd by offering high-quality food menus. But now that leading competitors, such as Taco Bell, have been elevating the quality of their food offerings -- and at lower prices, too -- Chipotle has started to lose complete control of its chosen turf.
As a result, "It seems investors have turned bearish on Chipotle amid concerns over slower growth in customer traffic and sales, owing to a weak economy and increased competition, specifically from Taco Bell," notes Andrew J. Cueter, analyst at investment research firm Value Line. And he also expects growth will likely slow in 2013 as sales gains are projected to be flat.
So it isn't surprising that several Chipotle's large institutional investors, including Fidelity Management, Capital World Investors, and Renaissance Technologies, have reduced their stakes in the company, as of their latest filings on Sept. 30, 2012.
