This case file has now been labeled a hoax, as the photo was from a 1980's film known as Xtro.
"Skinwalker" scene starts at 08:14 in the above video.
Original news story still archived below.
By Kim Vallez, KRQE News
CUBA, N.M. (KRQE) – Is a strange alien-looking creature prowling in northern New Mexico?
A Facebook picture circulating Thursday has a lot of people up there worried. The post was shared thousands of times within a few hours and had a lot of people uttering the word skinwalker, a well-known legend in Indian country.
The picture shows an unexplained being lurking on the side of a road.
The person who posted it claimed it was taken near Lybrook and Counselor, which is near the Jicarilla reservation.
The story claims that a geologist was working in an oil field in the area and saw something odd and decided to take a heat signature of it. The next day, the geologist suddenly quit.
The story spread like wildfire with people on social media saying, "seriously freaking out," "yikes … I'm driving through there tomorrow," and "skinwalker!"
Skinwalker refers to a Native American legend which was brought to life by author Tony Hillerman.
According to the legend, a skinwalker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal and walks on all fours.
There are stories of countless encounters, but few will speak of them, too scared they will be targeted again.
Many people who posted and shared the picture Thursday said they found their posts and comments disappear. People who emailed it to others said they were unable to retrieve it.
But everyone can rest easy. It didn't take long for the picture and story to be debunked.
It apparently comes from a 1980s science fiction move "Xtro," where a creepy being is born, then goes on the prowl and is spotted by a couple driving along the road.
It's unclear how the story was connected to Lybrook or Counselor, or that so-called geologist. Perhaps it was just someone having a little fun, but it shows the power of social media and legends.
The New Mexican who posted the image Thursday has since taken it down, saying she shared it because others had. She says she has no information about its origin.

The trees in the backround aren't from Mexico no wonder they would take a picture from a movie and post it on a website claiming it was real (my point is they aren't very smart).

The investigation into a double homicide in Carrol, New York continues, as the DA's office prepares for trial.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for August 5th, at which time a trial date could be scheduled in Chautauqua county court.
Back in April, sixty-six year old Gordon Skinner and his fifty-nine year old wife, Joyce, were found dead in their Carrol, New York home.
Frewsburg firefighters were called to that home to fight a structure fire, and found the bodies.
Four Elmira men have been charged in the murder.
Thirty-four year old David Coggins and twenty-one year old Joshua McCormick are charged with 1st degree murder.
They could be looking at a mandatory life sentence if convicted.
Because of their age, eighteen year olds Ricky Knickerbocker and Steven Todd are charged with 2nd degree murder.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A number of goals are set for Wisconsin to fight obesity by 2020, and state officials want the public's input.
The state Department of Health Services will take written comments until July 18 on a plan that calls for decreasing the percentage of obese adults from 27 percent to 24 percent.
The plan also includes lowering the percentage of overweight or obese high school students from 23 percent to 21 percent, and increasing the number of adults who consume fruits at least twice a day.

Even in this configuration the numbers are astonishing. The boosted 1GZ churns out 650 ps, thanks in part to the custom engine management system made up of two HKS F-Con V Pro ECUs and a set of Neko AF700 oxygen sensors. Nagata has big plans for this engine and work has already began in the development of custom engine internals to allow the 1GZ to rev up to 7,000 rpm (1,000 rpm up from stock) and take significantly more boost. The target was set at over 800 ps, not a very precise number but with hardware like this it wouldn't be surprising if the final figure reached the magical 1,000ps benchmark.
This Supra was built to be a comfortable yet fast road car and there will no doubt be a few high-speed trials to see if it can beat the 341km/h that the V35 GT-R project achieved at the German Autobahn in 2005.
The V-12 Supra project was also undertaken to take the Supra model aesthetically to a new level. As a final goodbye to the JZA80, Top Secret designed and built a complete widebody kit called "Final Evolution." The 600,000 Yen kit has already captured the imagination of many Supra owners and Top Secret is overwhelmed with orders from both Japan and overseas. The kit was designed with a very angular feel, much like modern-day Lexus models and concept cars. The factory headlight clusters were binned and replaced with original Top Secret projector-type items, completely altering the front-end look. A long-snout front bumper with a large central opening joins the lights together with the aggressively flared arches to create a totally bespoke look. A vented bonnet helps extract air from the engine bay or, in this case, the V-mounted intercooler and oil coolers. The angular-design is carried on to the side via the deep skirts and is joined with the flared overfenders.
Also part of the kit is the rear bumper, which completes the Top Secret conversion with an abundance of air outlets to keep the radiator happy. The main radiator air intakes are located near the B-pillars where the small side window used to reside. A Carbon rear wing joins the Ganador mirrors to complement the "Final Evolution" JZA80 look.Shot with Bridgestone RE-01R rubber, Volk Racing GT-F 19-inch wheels were painted with gold highlights to match the Top Secret color scheme. Making it hard to miss is a huge GReddy 8-pot brake kit up front and 4-pot kit at the back with matching gold calipers and center bells. The V-12 Supra has been lowered thanks to a set of Top Secret Aragosta adjustable suspension.
Keeping with the idea behind this project, the interior hasn't been stripped out but dressed up to make it a comfortable place to be. A Pioneer double-DIN HDD navigation unit and full speaker system takes care of the entertainment, while occupants are cosseted in lightweight, carbon-shell leather Bride bucket seats. Other toys include the new-generation HKS EVC boost controller and Defi Super Sports Cluster dash unit - both integrated seamlessly into the dashboard. Opening the glovebox you'll find two HKS F-Con V Pro computers and AF-700 lambda displays, while the Top Secret steering wheel and gear knob finish things off.
We're eager to see how this V-12 Supra project develops and if Smoky can turn it into his fastest road project ever. With Smoky's track record it is only a matter of time before that happens.

Not on the menu, but any burger they show on the menu can be "petite sized". I never could eat a whole one of their burgers but the petite one is just right. Any problem is you can't state how to cook it, it will be well done.
This is your typical chain restaurant offering burgers and related food. The service is good, but nothing you'll remember a few weeks later. The same can be said for the food.
I liked this place we went for lunch had the original with pickle. The fries are good and the ranch dressing she brought with it was good too! We don't do this often so it was a real treat this day and the portion was perfect I had throwing out food and I don't like stuffing myself so it was...
Our waitress Nayeli seemed to sense we were traveling and wanted quick service as she gave it to us. the burger was great so were the shorty onion rings. We got there when it opened and it started getting crowded but servers seemed to be moving. I would go back again if ever in the area.
service was almost nonexistent. i almost left before i got seated. i was totally ignored for a few minutes before i was noticed and seated. food was lousy along with table service. will not go back.
Prior to eating at a Red Robin I had only heard how amazing it is so I went in with high hopes, the hostess was just okay, she didn't really seem enthused about anything or to be very concerned with providing a high level of customer service. The "play zone" is just a corner with some over sized games stuffed...
Normally I don't review chains such as Red Robin because they are so well established and usually have such a loyal following that a review is kind of redundant. However, our usually fantastic experience at the Red Robin in Avondale was worthy of a review because of the terrible service. The girl on the front door who was there to...
I usually sit in the bar area when I go. I love their burgers and the service there is always awesome!
Service was excellent, food priced right and very good, bottomless fries with sandwiches. Little noisy but there was a party of 30 having a birthday bash so that was to be expected. Overall good experience, though.
I've enjoyed this Red Robin for about 8 years. They always have good service and good food. I did get a surprise today. I ordered my favorite vegiburger without looking at the menu. When it was served it appeared to be a different pattie had grilled onions and zuccini on it. I took the zuccini off and tried it anyway....

Apparently Fox News and their guests have fallen for the ultimate Father's Day prank created by alleged angry "feminists."
Over at the website 4chan, a little Father's Day prank was created via a fake social media campaign. With the hashtag "#EndFathersDay," the campaign was created around the idea that angry feminists were fighting back. Over at Fox News on Father's Day Sunday, co-host of Fox & Friends Tucker Carlson was outraged by the "event," and spoke with Susan Patton, an anti-feminist author who recently released a book on the subject.
Patton: They're not just interested in ending Father's Day, they're interested in ending men...That's really what they want.
Carlson: When you crush men, you hurt women!
Patton: For these ridiculous, antagonistic women to say it's a celebration of male oppression...No, it's a harmless creation of the greeting card industry, the aftershave industry, the tie manufacturers.
Patton continued her rant, this time painting a brush over all alleged feminists stating that they probably "don't even have men in their lives."
"We're talking about a group of antagonistic feminists, who, first, don't even have men in their lives probably...It just one more thing, one more micro-aggression for them to latch onto and get crazy over. This is absolutely absurd. Nobody's talking about Mother's Day."
While Carlson noted that idea started as tongue in cheek, but was gaining momentum with feminists online and could cause some serious problems. No word on whether Fox News will be promoting a taking point on the "War on Father's Day."

She simply was trying to catch the school bus to Guinta Middle School on Nov. 16.
However, 13-year-old Andrea Bower's dash across Bloomingdale Avenue during rush-hour traffic ended her life too soon.
The teen was struck by a Ford SUV and dragged 20 feet. She later died at Tampa General Hospital.
It's tragedies such as this that is prompting the Florida Highway Patrol to urge increased vigilance on behalf of drivers and pedestrians during the coming year.
In the past year, the FHP has investigated 331 traffic crashes involving pedestrians in a seven-county area. Of that number, 43 were fatal.
Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties had the highest number of pedestrian fatalities this year in the seven-county area. There were 12 in Hillsborough, 11 in Pinellas and 12 in Pasco County.
According to the highway patrol, 87 percent of those accidents occurred at night or in low-light conditions. When walking at night, the FHP urges pedestrians to wear bright colors and carry a flashlight or wear reflectors.
Another two-thirds of the fatalities occurred because the pedestrians did not obey Florida traffic laws by using pedestrian crosswalks, sidewalks and other roadway features designed for pedestrians.
When sidewalks are not available, the highway patrol says pedestrians should walk facing on-coming traffic and understand that, especially in low-light conditions drivers, may not see or expect pedestrian traffic. For a full review of Florida's pedestrian traffic laws see this website.
More Facts:
- On average, a pedestrian is killed every two hours and injured every eight minutes in traffic crashes in the United States.
- In 2010, 4,280 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents in the U.S, that's up 4 percent from 2009.
- The state of Florida had the second highest number of pedestrian fatalities in 2010.
- In 2010, pedestrian deaths accounted for 13 percent of all traffic fatalities.
- Hillsborough County's per capita pedestrian crash fatality rate of 3.24 fatalities per 100,000 persons is somewhat greater than the state average of 2.94 per 100,000 persons.
- Over the past five years, on average, 36 pedestrians per year have died in pedestrian crashes countywide. Nearly 175 pedestrians per year have sustained incapacitating injury and an additional 315 pedestrians per year have sustained less severe injuries.
- Florida Department of Transportation District 7 has invested substantially in pedestrian safety. From 2008-10, the Highway Safety Program invested $2 million in countdown pedestrian signals and the Safe Routes to School program invested more than $3.5 million in solar‐powered speed feedback signs, school flashers, and sidewalks.

Posted by admin on Sep 25, 2011 in Feature Slider - Front Page | 0 comments
On the beach I watched an old man. His spirit looked white , a kind of a shape around his body like a light. He pulled his car right up to the waters edge. He got out and took his clothes off. His shirt then his trousers. He left them in a bundle by his car. He looked up into the sky. His body was stooped. He had spindly arms. He put his hands on his waist. The sea was liquid. He was past time itself in age. It was an age that showed on his movements and his wheezing when I walked near him by the shore. He walked slowly into the sea. He walked and left his clothes and car behind. He looked like he was never coming back. The ocean took him with ease. Sparrows in a flock flew low over the water close to him. In the distance a trawler was heading out deep into the Atlantic followed by gulls. Their sounds filled the shoreline. The old man splashed water on his legs and chest. He was tempering his soul and spirit with each baptism of salty ocean water. He moved underneath and only his frail white back was visible. He dived like a human whale into himself and the ocean together. Into the womb of the world. Filling his eyes with water and all the memories of that day. I walked as close as a I could to see him float and merge with the water. A dog ran by me. He was gold with dark eyes and stopped to look up at me. I petted him. He felt soft and alive. I put my hands in the water. It was quite cool. The old man went further out. I looked at his clothes like a skin that had been shed. They looked like a man had be emptied of them they way they sat all lonely on the beach. I looked out again and he was gone. I was worried but just within the reach of my eyesight I could make out his sad white figure dipping in and out of view. This white soul emanating around his movements. He was so calm. There was no wind. The light seemed endless for once. I reached into my pocket and took out a coin. It was gold in color. I threw it and it was swallowed up. I made a wish within. I spoke to my thoughts and asked of them to show me a road out of here. There were footprints all over the beach. Tracks of man. Tracks of the shadows of bodies. Traces of a journey left in time. Unwashed but impermanent. I followed a set of small footprints. They stopped after a mile and just disappeared. I could no longer see the old swimmer. Old man time diving into the abyss. I wonder did his eyes see to the bottom. And when he came home and dried his soul by the fire. Was he thoughtless and beautiful in grace at home in the dark. Was he unburdened by God. Or were his hands loosely clasped in a divine request. All he has seen the extraordinary life of an ordinary man. The swim out to eternity on this beach. I wished to follow him and see with his tired eyes all the ocean that is hidden for us. And as darkness fell and I walked out of this landscape darkness fell and the veil opened. I felt the spirits of this land drawn outward from the thoughts of men the yearnings and longing of the quietening heart. I remain transfixed. But something moved out of my own heart and fled into the sombre evening valleys of Eire.

Do you Believe in GOD? Why? Why NOT? Why is there the word "GOD"? Who is HE for you? What is his relation to you? Is God just a socio-cultural concept? What makes him a God to you? Why do different CULTURES HAVE GOD in their list of WORDS even though there is diversity?
How should an intelligent man deal with the word GOD?
Topics: Existence of God
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 5 2011: God is a title. Which God do I worship? Who is my God? The Creator. He is one. He is not a mysterious trinity. He has a personal name. He is love. He is a real being, not a concept. He is approachable. He is abundant in loving kindness. He gives wisdom and discernment to those asking for it. He is patient and kind. He is the Hearer of Prayer.
He has given us two books to learn about him. One is creation, the other the holy scriptures.
During the thousands of years of mankind's history, man's search for God has led down many pathways. The result has been the enormous diversity of religious expression found throughout - from the endless variety of Hinduism to the monotheism of Judaism, Islam, and Christendom and the Oriental philosophies of Shinto, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. In other vast regions, mankind has turned to animism, magic, spiritism, and shamanism. Has this search for God been successful? Can you see unity among religious people? Is there a group of people on the earth today who live in peace because they have found THE God, the Creator? Do they in turn try to share their knowledge with others worldwide? Are they working tirelessly to reach people of all nations with the good news of God's kingdom, like God's son did 2,000 years ago? Are they willing to die for their beliefs?
Regardless of your religious background, it behoofs each one of us to search for the true God. Love is the identifying mark of every true Christian.
Who is God.....a god can be anyone or anything........Who is the true God......that is a different question altogether.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Pretty Good Jokes
He says to them: "Doesn't the heat bother you?"
Ole replies, "Vell, ya know, ve're from nordern Minnesooota, da land of snow an ice, an ve're yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know."
The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat even more. When he returns to the room of the two guys from Minnesota , the devil finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer.
The devil is astonished and exclaims, "Everyone down here is in abject misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves?"
Sven replies, "Vell, ya know, ve don't git too much varm veather up dere at da Falls, so ve've yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da veather's dis nice."
The devil is absolutely furious. He can hardly see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives. The devil decides to turn all the heat off in Hell. The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero.
The devil smiles and heads for the room with Ole and Sven. He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, and happy as can be.
The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?"
They both look at the devil in surprise and say, "Vell, don't ya know, if hell iss froze over, dat must mean da Vikings von da Super Bowl."

I once ran a very successful level 19 twink guild. I had a lot of "childish" members who acted the way many of you have described, but I would always put a stop to that. Every sunday, we would have designated fishers, and everyone else in the guild would play bodyguard. Mainly, thier job was to clear the mobs, and scare away any horde. As a rule, I tried to convince them not to gank any hordies, because that would bring a lot of negative attention to us. This method went on for a few weeks, until one sunday, a group of horde twinks showed up where we fished. We shared the area (ZG island and the opposite coastline near Nessingwary). I told my guildies to just leave them in peace, only fish from their holes if they fish from ours.
All was peaceful for about 30 minutes when suddenly 12 horde came and spawn camped us for the remaining hour. From that day on, I made sure we were as bloodthirsty and horrible as the horde. You CAN play it polite, do the right thing. You CAN care about other peoples enjoyment of the game. You CAN offer someone a fair oppurtunity at a contest, but if you do all that, you'll get stepped on and rolled over because of it.
P.S I contacted the horde twinks who we left alone (trial account FTW) and he apparently had nothing to do with the campers. They jsut came from ZG and thought it would be fun to waste the next few hours of thier life killing people who cant fight back. So it didnt even have anything to do with winning the fishing contest. (Especially since the ZG island is slow with respawned fish pools, making it a good place to fish if you are jsut after the twink items, not winning).

Eight million dollars in changes are coming to Central Community College in Hastings.
But some students like things just the way they are.
CCC's Board of Governors has approved a bid to renovate the Hastings Campus.
Specifically, the 70–year–old cafeteria once used as a Navy mess hall.
A growing number of on–campus students has prompted the refurbishing.
C–C–C says new walls, plumbing and heating systems will also be installed.
Renovations will occur on the Hall Building and the Campus Center.
The cafeteria design is aimed at serving students faster...
Some say that's not an issue.
"I like the cafeteria," freshman Gator Schott said. "I don't know what everybody else's opinion is but honestly, I think it's a good setup."
"That's not the message I get from the majority of students and the students that I've talked to," Campus President Bill Hitesman said.
Remodeling begins this February and is expected to be done in July 2015.

If Aloe Blacc decides to crack open a cold one this summer to toast to his success, he'll be able to do so with a bottle of beer whose label he designed himself.
Aloe is one of the artists participating in Beck's Beer's Live Beyond Labels series, which commissions musicians to design original artwork that is then displayed on the labels of Beck's beer bottles. This year's series will start July 1, and in addition to Aloe, "Safe and Sound" duo Capital Cities has also created label artwork.

George Zimmerman's wife out on bail after perjury charge
Orlando, Fla., United States (4E) – The wife of the shooter of the Florida unarmed teen made bail Tuesday afternoon after being arrested for lying court during her husband's bond hearing.
Prosecutors had Shellie Zimmerman arrested for perjury in connection with false testimony she gave in the April 20 bond hearing for her husband George Zimmerman.
She was released after posting a $1,000 bond.
George Zimmerman, 28, has admitted to shooting and killing unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin as the 17-year-old walked home from a nearby store.
During her husband's bond hearing, prosecutors asked Shellie Zimmerman, 25, if she and her husband had any money.
Under oath, Shellie Zimmerman answered, "Uhmm, not, not that I'm aware of."
The amount of money the couple had was relevant because judges set the amount of bail based on the ability of the person to pay to avoid a bond that is either too low or too high for that individual.
A low bond means a person might become a flight risk if they can afford to forfeit that money while a too-high bail can make it impossible for that individual to be released on bond.
Prosecutors listened to recorded conversations between the Zimmermans while George Zimmerman was in jail prior to his bond hearing.
The tapes revealed that the Zimmermans discussed in detail the amount of money that his website had brought in and that both were aware of how much money it had raised. In addition, the Zimmermans spoke in code as they discussed transferring cash from the PayPal account linked to the website to his credit union, which she was authorized to access, as well as transferring money out of his account into her credit union account, as well as into her sister's bank account.
Prosecutors examined the PayPal account and discovered that George Zimmerman's website had raised $135,000 before his bond hearing and more than $200,000 total before it was shut down. The couple had access to all that money.
Moreover, prosecutors charge that the Zimmermans made sure each of the cash transfers they made was below the $10,000 amount that automatically generates the requirement for the bank to comply with federal laws aimed at fighting money laundering.
So Shellie Zimmerman might face federal charges as well as perjury charges.
The jailhouse tapes also revealed the existence of a second passport for George Zimmerman that the couple did not disclose to authorities.
At the time that the court ordered Zimmerman to surrender his passport, he surrendered only his original passport that was expiring within a few months. However, the tapes revealed the couple talking about his second passport, which was in a safety deposit box and does not expire until 2014.
The court ordered Zimmerman to surrender his passport to reduce the risk that he would be a flight risk. His mother is from Peru and many of his relatives still live there.

By Aidan Clay
NEW DELHI, INDIA -- The following urgent message from Obaid S. Christ, an Afghan Christian living in New Delhi, arrived in my inbox two weeks ago:
Screen capture taken from a video of four militants preparing to behead Afghan Christian, Abdul Latif
The calls continued throughout the day. "They were very angry and saying that they will hit me by knife and kill me," the exile, who changed his name after fleeing Afghanistan in 2007 when an Islamic court issued an arrest warrant for his conversion, told me in reference to the third call he received late that night.
Threats against Afghan converts to Christianity should not be taken lightly. Conversion is viewed as a serious crime in Afghanistan and Christians are frequently targeted by both the government and extremists. Earlier this year, a video was released of the beheading of an Afghan man, Abdul Latif, by four Islamist militants near Herat. The militants, who claim to be the Taliban, read a passage from the Hadiths before executing the victim: "Mohammad (peace be upon him) says, 'Whoever changes his religion should be executed.'"
Neither are Afghan Christians safe outside their homeland. In September, an Afghan convert was scalded with boiling water and acid at a refugee processing center in Norway. "If you do not return to Islam, we will kill you," his attackers reportedly told him.
For Obaid, the menacing calls were not the first time he felt threatened since arriving in India. "Our community is a persecuted and rejected community," he told me last April. "We left behind all our belongings in Afghanistan just to save our lives by leaving Afghanistan. Here in India, we are receiving no legal and physical protection from the UNHCR Office or Indian government. We are harassed, attacked, insulted and persecuted by Indian Muslims and Afghan Muslim refugees in this city."
The persecution of Afghan Christian refugees is sometimes ignored by the very agencies that are mandated to protect them. Aman Ali and his family fled Afghanistan in June 2010 following a television broadcast showing footage of Afghans being baptized. Though Aman's conversion was already known in his community, the broadcast stirred animosity towards Christians which led to nationwide protests and the arrests of several converts.

Aman immediately applied for refugee status with the United Nations High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR) upon arrival in New Delhi, but was rejected and told that he failed to meet the criteria set forth in Article 6B of the UNHCR Statute which states that in order to receive refugee status, one must have a "well-founded fear of persecution by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinion." It was clear to Aman that the UNHCR did not consider his conversion as a legitimate threat to his life.
Ratimullah from Mazar-i-Sharif fled at the same time as Aman and for the same reasons. Like Aman, Ratimullah's application for refugee status was also rejected along with seven other applicants. The applicants have spent months in hiding, fearful that if caught by the Indian police they will be deported back to Afghanistan. "I cannot return to my country because I will be arrested and executed by the Afghan government," Ratimullah wrote in an appeal to the UNHCR. "A definite death is waiting for me in my homeland."
Afghan Christian refugees in India are not alone. Similar requests have been denied by the UNHCR in other countries as well, including Britain. The Guardian reported an Afghan Christian asylum seeker, Ahmed Faizi, as saying, "If the Taliban don't execute me for being a Christian, my family will," just before his deportation last April.
"They will kill me for being Christian," Ali Hussani, another deportee, said. "There are only Muslims there."
Their predictions are ringing true amidst
renewed threats by the Taliban to purge
Christians - both foreign and national - from
the country. A statement posted on an official
website on October 18 warned that "special
plans" have been made to "destroy all
(Christian) centers one by one." A translation
of the notice declares:
"Under the name of this shameful and corrupt democracy, there are all kinds of pagans entering into our country. Thousands of Christian missionaries have also entered our country under the name and cover of aid societies and NGOs (organizations). They are busy with their activities (evangelizing) and have the support of foreign and Afghan forces, claiming that they are giving humanitarian and social help to people.
"According to our reports, these Christian evangelists and social organizations are directly inviting Afghans to Christianity. These infidels, enemies of Islam under the name of corrupt democracy and their lords, need to know that the Afghan Islamic Emirate is seriously taking your activities into consideration. The Afghan Islamic Emirate will take practical measures and has already made special plans to destroy all [their] centers one by one; the centers where plans are made that destroy the holy religion of Islam and Afghan culture."
The warning should not be ignored, Obaid told me. "The centers' activities are being observed, Afghan converts are identified, and it is planned to destroy the centers. This is serious!" Some foreigners in the country, however, have heard similar declarations in the past and view the threat as merely Taliban propaganda.
Hundreds of Afghan Christians, like Obaid, remain on the run from religious-based persecution that targets them at home and abroad. "In the modern world, where we have NATO, the UN, human rights commissions, and governments which claim they fight for democracy and give protection for those who are persecuted, I cannot find a place in this world where I am protected," Obaid lamented.

We are both in our early 50's and this was our third caribbean cruise. We decided to try Celebrity after two cruises with Holland America. We got a great deal (January) and great airfare (from Canada), so the price was excellent. We are not big on adding extras, so we did not opt for a lot of excursions or specialty dining. That being said, my husband enjoyed his soda card, and we did opt for double reef snorkelling in Cozumel and Stingray swim in Cayman islands, both under $50 per person per excursion. We LOVED our excursions! We did try the Lawn Club Grill when we were offered a 20% discount on the first night. It was really nice -- although it was almost empty -- we enjoyed our meal there.
After all was said and done, we were underwhelmed by Celebrity and we were left with the definite feeling that we would return to Holland America the next time we cruise. The Silhouette is a beautiful ship and we loved many spaces that we explored. Loved the gym. Loved the entertainment. We were very open to trying different bars, lounges, library spaces, etc. All really nice. However, the feeling we were left with was that the staff were overworked and there were many times we felt we were "barked at" for simple questions. We are not high maintenance guests by any stretch, and we are very friendly to everyone, including staff. However there were too many occasions when we felt the staff were just not friendly at all, in fact, they were downright rude to us. Not something we EVER experienced on Holland America. I have to add that Holland America food overall is far superior... just saying.
It's difficult to give a perfect score to a cruise line that has a completely dysfunctional website for months (Fall, 2013). That was such a frustrating introduction to Celebrity. And icing on the cake -- when we returned home from our cruise, we had an envelope in our mailbox from Celebrity with our.... luggage tags!! Unbelievable. So overall, we enjoyed our cruise but we will return to Holland America next time.

Library News for 2007
The experiment during exam week to enter the Marco Center via the hallway and not through the Library was a great success. The noise level was significantly lowered. Students were asked their opinion on this change. In response to an electronic survey conducted in the last two weeks by the Library, 86% of the respondents thought that the entrance should continue to be outside the Library! Let's all keep working towards making the Library a quiet spot for study.

Very much so. This blog constantly gains notes and follows on a steady - yet slowing - rate. I've always loved this fandom from day one because it's a fandom which, for now, only has had its 'canon' material viewed once (particularly from form to form). I say "for now" because those who take the PSAT receive a booklet back with their scores in I believe December. I've never taken the test before this year, and from what I'm told it'll not only contain the answers to the questions and whether or how to get them correct, but also the questions themselves and the materials they refer to! Once those apart of the 'Herd' (as I like to call us) receive this, we'll not only be able to refresh memories of the obvious inside jokes (cows, potatoes, translators, ect.) but we can also create jokes from some of the not-as-catchy questions (which no one will suggest to this blog… yet). Another plus will be that we can share these questions with others who took a different form or didn't take the test at all, only to possibly GROW the fandom!
So, to conclude, I don't believe the little baby PSAT fandom is dying. It's only on a hiatus until December comes with answer books.

Selecting an agent is an important decision in the house-selling process, so we spoke to the experts to get their advice on how you can find the perfect agent and what you can expect them to deliver.
As real estate dynamo John McGrath tells it in his book, The Ultimate Guide to Real Estate, people don't give their best friends the keys to their house, but they give them to their real estate agent. If you're selling your home, working with an agent you trust is the most important piece of the puzzle and if you're buying, a reliable agent can ease the stress of finding the home of your dreams.
"At its most extreme, a good agent is the difference between a memorable experience that sets you up for life, and a nightmare that creates no end of stress financial or otherwise," says Lou Rendina, managing director of Rendina Real Estate in Melbourne.
In his book, McGrath goes as far as putting a price on the difference between a good and bad agent. He writes: "The difference between an unskilled agent and a very good agent could easily amount to a 25 to 30 percent difference on the sale price [and] could easily amount to an extra $40,000 or more in your pocket."
Like a lot of things, the most effective way to find the best agent for your needs is to do your homework. "Word of mouth is often the best place to start," advises Rendina. "Ask friends and family for their recommendations. Everyone has an experience of real estate agents, so listen, ask questions and trust your instincts."
Most agents suggest you draw up a shortlist of three agents and watching them in action at auctions and inspections to see how they will treat potential buyers of your home. Then interview them for a closer assessment of their skills and to determine whether you have good rapport with them.
"You need to be comfortable with your agent you are a team," explains Alex Schiavo, director of Kay & Burton Albert Park, the agent charged with selling the property renovated by Dale and Sophie on The Block. "If you have an agent that you like and understands you, that's the start of a good relationship."
For your money, you should expect the full spectrum of agent services: advising you on presentation and assisting with tradespeople and stylists if required, determining the best method of selling the property, devising the right marketing mix and ensuring the photographs used present the property in the best possible light. "Having superior images is more important than anything else, including ad copy." says Schiavo.
When it comes to buying, most house hunters regard agents with suspicion but you can use their expertise to your advantage to find the home of your dreams. Spend time getting to know the most active agents in your area and they will call you first when the right property for you comes onto the market.
Schiavo says a good agent makes the experience of buying a home less daunting. "Buyers are busy going to open houses and can't always make it during inspection times. We should bend over backwards and make it easy for them with private inspections where possible," he says.

Kinetic Energy among a set of Point Charges
by Danneskjöld
Tags: coulombs, electricpotential, joules, newtonmetwers, volts
|Share this thread:
Feb15-10, 02:59 PM
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A set of point charges is held in place at the vertices of an
equilateral triangle of side 10.0 cm, as shown in the figure (a) .
Find the maximum amount of total kinetic energy that will be
produced when the charges are released from rest in the
frictionless void of outer space.
2. Relevant equations
Unsure, but believe this one is paramount:
V = k*(q/r)
3. The attempt at a solution
I'm using the formula V = k(q1)/r1 and the example in my textbook on page 590,
which is for only 2 point charges within an isosceles triangle, simply adds the
V1 + V2 to get Vtotal, so I assumed (probably incorrectly) that I could use
this method with 3 charges within an equilateral triangle and simply added the
V1 + V2 + V3 = 809.1 N*m/C. However, they want the answer in joules,
so what if I was even correct in my method, what should be done to my
answer in order to convert it to joules? Are N*m/C = Volts? Wouldn't that
mean I would need to then multiply by the same charges I just multiplied by?
And would I use each individual charge added together, or... what do I do with
these Coulombs?

APHA Action Board Implementation PlanResolution #200031 Submitted September 19, 2002
Summary The Action Board "Health Information on the Internet Work Group" has prepared an implementation plan, described below, for Resolution #200031: Criteria for Assessing the Quality of Health Information on the Internet (Attachment 1). The resolution was rated among the top five resolutions in 2000 by the APHA Governing Council. The implementation plan is built on the premise that APHA should take a leadership role in promoting quality standards for health information on the Internet. Not satisfied with merely creating the plan, the Work Group took steps to implement key parts of it. To educate APHA members on this important issue, member Karyn Pomerantz submitted a session abstract which was accepted for the 2002 meeting entitled "Providing Health Information to the Public". The session (#3145.0) will occur on Monday at 12:30pm in the Technology Center. The Work Group wrote an article entitled "Evaluating Health Information Websites" (Attachment 2) intended for placement on the APHA website and wide distribution to APHA partners (see Stakeholder list below). The article identifies several Web-based tutorial programs in English and Spanish that should be helpful to seekers of health information. The editor of the Nation's Health has agreed to publish an article about the topic and the Work Group's report in an upcoming issue, hopefully the November issue. The Work Group also encourages APHA to join with other stakeholders to advocate quality standards for health information provided on the Internet.

Attachment 2
Evaluating Health Information Web Sites*Health information is one of the most popular topics on the Internet. People search for answers to many health questions, including "Why don't I feel well?" "What are these symptoms?" "Which treatment is the best and safest for me?" "How can I stay healthy and eat right?" "How do I lose this weight?"
Reading different points of view of the Internet can help us form questions to ask our health care providers and lead us to new solutions. However, we all need to make sure the information we use to make decisions about our health-and our family's health-is reliable. For example, we need to make sure the information does not advise us to try harmful medicines or follow unhealthy diets. The problem is, anyone can post health information on the Internet. There are ways to protect yourself and increase your chances of finding reliable information. You can look for organizations you trust that sponsor Web sites. You can look at more than one Web site and read different points of view.
Here are some easy, basic questions to ask yourself. Use them to help you decide if the Web site is one you can rely on for accurate and useful information.
*This article is intended to be a drop-in for newsletters, fliers, Web sites, or other communication materials. It can also be the basis for developing more extensive guidance for Internet information seekers. The article was developed by the APHA Action Board Work Group on "Criteria for Assessing the Quality of Health Information on the Internet." The listing of Web sites does not imply endorsement of any particular Web site by the American Public Health Association.
A Quick Checklist: What To Look For

Learn to Read: One Syllable at a Time
- Monday, August 06, 2012
"Cat! You just read the word cat all by yourself! Great job, I am so . . . proud of you!" would likely be something you would hear coming from my mouth. For struggling readers, you just can't underestimate the power of praise; it is a crucial element of your child's success.
Suffix Families
So now that we have learned to read our first word, let's see what other words we can learn. Without adding any other cards yet, begin talking about which words rhyme with cat; bat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, and sat all rhyme with cat, but why?
Say a few of these words together: cat/rat; cat/hat; cat/mat. Each word has the same -at sound at the end, doesn't it? Refer back to your "cat" word card. Point to the C and make the letter sound, and then point to the -at and make this suffix sound.
Let's see what happens when we take away the C card, and put the B card in its place. What sound does the letter B make? What happens when we put that B sound in front of the -at sound? What word do you think this makes? "B-at, b-at, b-at," you say, faster and faster together until your child's eyes light up and it clicks: "This is the word bat!"
You might find that you are now able to go through all of the -at word possibilities and your child reads straight through them, or you might struggle through each one. My biggest suggestion would be to relax and keep this as much of a game as possible. It will click one day, and sooner than later if your child enjoys what he is working on. One other word of advice would be to practice these cards daily for at least an entire week. Don't be surprised if your child breezed right through the words on Day 1, only to be back at the beginning of the learning process the next day.
To keep the fun in this activity for the full week, vary your teaching methods. One day you could look for -at words around your home, and upon finding them, sound them out together and then see if you can determine which letters build the word, based on their sounds.
Another option would be to draw pictures of the -at words on paper, with two of the three letters written beside each picture. Your child will need to sound out the name of the object in the picture in order to discover which letter is missing in the word.
These are simple activities that one might feel are too simple to be effective, but when carried out slowly with lots of excitement and enthusiasm on the parent's part, children are put at ease and are in a better position to learn. At the end of the week, have fun writing your -at words on sticky notes, and then race to see how quickly your child can read a word (written on a sticky note) and place it on the correct item. Speedy reading!

It's Saturday and another day of NBA action is officially in the history books. Tonight we had seven games around the league plus more news to cover so without further ado, here's your March. 9. 2013 NBA recap!
- Onto the first game of the night, where we have the Brooklyn Nets against the Atlanta Hawks. Prior to tonight's game, the Hawks had an eight game home winning streak. That however was smashed as the Nets defeated the Hawks, 93-80. Brook Lopez and Audrey Blatche led the Nets with 18 points each, while Deron Williams contributed with 17. Al Horford led the Hawks with 15 points but that wasn't enough. Tim Bontemps of The New York Post recaps the game here.
- We take a break as we get some news from the New York Knicks camp. As some of you were previously aware, Carmelo Anthony is out with a knee injury. The Knicks will be more shorthanded on the road now, as Amar'e Stoudemire is out for six weeks with a right knee debridement. Matt Shelter of Buckets Over Broadway has the scoop here.
- That news brings us to the game of the night. The Knicks against the Utah Jazz. This is a prominent game for many reasons. First, New York is without Anthony and Stoudemire and second, if the Jazz loss, which they did, they will tie the Lakers for the 8th seed in the playoffs. As said before, the Knicks defeated the Jazz 113-84, as J.R. Smith dropped 24 points, six rebounds and three assists. Steve Novak also contributed with 20 points, two assists and one steal. Alec Burks led the Jazz with 14 points, one assist and one steal, but that wasn't enough. Mark Herrmann of NewsDay reviews the game win here.
- The next game of the night was in Washington, where the Wizards took on the Bobcats for the most entertaining game ever in NBA history. The lowly Wizards defeated the modest Bobcats 104-87 as Trevor Ariza led the Wizards, scoring a season-high double-double 26 points and 10 rebounds. Martell Webster contributed with 20 points, while Nene added 19. Kemba Walker scored 29 points, but it wasn't enough. This is the third meeting against both teams, as they met Nov. 13 and 24th, with the Bobcats winning both games, but it seems the Wizards finally defeated those Cats. Edward Shuler JR. of Roberto Gato reviews the Bobcats' loss here. Bobcats and Wizards will play against one another for the fourth and last time this season on the 18th.
- Next up, we have the Hornets against the Grizzlies. Mike Conley led the Grizzlies with 22 points, eight assists and four rebounds as the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets 96-85. Anthony Davis led the Hornets with 20 points but they were still unable to win. Clay Bailey of The Associated Press reviews the game here.
- Following that game, we have the Denver Nuggets against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves, still injury-ridden, couldn't defeat the Wolves as the Nuggets smacked them with a final score, 111-88. Ty Lawson led the Nugget with 32 points, while Corey Brewer added 13. Mickaël Gelabale led the Wolves with 19 points, four rebounds and three assists. Ben Beecken of Dunking With Wolves recaps the Wolves loss here.
- The next game was the Houston Rockets against the Phoenix Suns. This game came down to the wire, however the Suns escaped with the win, defeating the Rockets 107-105 as Jared Dudley scored 22 points off the bench. James Harden had a spectacular night, scoring 38 points, but it was too little too late for the Rockets. Matthew Wu of Sun-N-Gun recaps the game here.
- Last but not least, we have the Golden State Warriors taking on ex-warrior, Monta Ellis and the Milwaukee Bucks. Brandon Jennings led the Bucks to victory, scoring a double-double 31 points, 10 assists and three rebounds. Ellis added 26 points, while J.J. Redick contributed with 16 points of the bench. Klay Thompson and Carl Landry led the Warriors with 18 points each but that didn't get them far. Marcus Thompson II of The Mercury Newsrecaps the game here.
