Insanity defense to be used in death caseMay 02,2014Insanity defense to
be used in death case
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont woman charged along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher intends to use an insanity defense at her upcoming trial.
The Caledonian Record reported that Patricia Prues lawyer said his client has a lengthy history of mental disease, with extensive treatment before and after she was held without bail in the case.
The 35-year-old Prue and her husband, 32-year-old Allen Prue, face kidnapping and first-degree murder charges in the March 2012 death of Melissa Jenkins.
Prosecutors also are planning to offer testimony on Patricia Prues mental state.

old world. Get busy and get by. Sorry, but that is all there is.
The decision of the government in Cyprus to simply take money out of people's bank accounts there sent shock waves around the world. People far removed from that small island nation had to wonder: "Can this happen here?"
The economic repercussions of having people feel that their money is not safe in banks can be catastrophic. Banks are not just warehouses where money can be stored. They are crucial institutions for gathering individually modest amounts of money from millions of people and transferring that money to strangers whom those people would not directly entrust it to.
Multi-billion dollar corporations, whose economies...

Because there is so much detailed information about the Hargrave family available online already, I am keeping this page fairly simple.
Much research has been done on the earliest links to the Hargrave families of America. I have not personally spent time researching the English records, but have seen this part of the lineage published many times. I will only outline the basics here:
- Nicholas Hargrave, ????-1534, of Warley or Wakefield in Yorkshire, England
- Richard Hargrave, 15??-1557
- Richard Hargrave, 15??-1583, sometimes called "Richard II"
- Richard Hargrave III, c1575 - 1636
5. Richard Hargrave, Sr. (c1616 - 1686/87)
This Richard Hargrave is designated as "Senior" because he was the first emigrant to the colonies. He was christened in All Saints Parish, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England on 21 JUL 1616.
Richard Hargrave set sail from England to America aboard the Bonaventure on 2 JAN 1634/35. He stated that he was 20 years of age. This has led some compilations of the family history to show Richard's birth year as 1614, but it seems unlikely he would have been christened at 2 years of age.
Richard married Sarah, surname unknown.
On 21 NOV 1686 Richard Hargrave wrote his will in Norfolk County, VA and it began probate on 17 JAN 1686/87.
The children of Richard and Sarah Hargrave were:
- Richard Hargrave, Jr. - see the next section
- Benjamin Hargrave -
- Margaret Hargrave - married Samuel ROBERTS.
- Ann Hargrave - married Arthur MOSELEY.
6. Richard Hargrave, Jr. (1645 - 1704)
Richard Hargrave, Jr. was born in 1645 in Norfolk County, VA. He married Pembroke Pead, widow of Thomas Hardin and daughter of John Pead and Judith Bray.
Richard Hargrave wrote his will in Surry County, VA on 19 MAY 1704. It was proven in court on 4 JUL 1704.
The children of Richard and Pembroke Hargrave were:
- Judith Hargrave - married James LOWERY.
- Bray Hargrave - see the next section.
- Lemuel Hargrave - married Elizabeth CORNWELL.
7. Bray Hargrave (1670 - 1728)
Bray Hargrave was born in 1670 and was qualified for militia service in 1687. He was listed as a taxpayer in Norfolk County in 1688 and married to Mary HODGE, daughter of John HODGE and Margaret PHILLIPS, by 1690.
No will has been found for Bray Hargrave. His estate was probated on 17 APR 1728. Some researchers show that Mary Hodge Hargrave lived until 1769.
The children of Bray and Mary Hargrave were:
- Augustine Hunnicutt Hargrave - see the next section.
- Samuel Hargrave - married Martha CHEADLE.
- Lemuel Hargrave -
- Benjamin Hargrave - married Lucy.
8. Augustine Hunnicutt Hargrave, (c1705 - 1763)
Augustine Hargrave was born about 1705 in Lawnes Creek Parish, Surry County, VA. He married to Mary, thought to have been a LANE.
Augustine Hargrave wrote a will that began probate on 21 JUN 1763. I do not have the date of the writing of the will.
The children of Augustine and Mary Hargrave were:
- William Lane Hargrave - married Sarah.
- Hartwell Hargrave - see the next section.
- Augustine Hargrave, Jr. -
- Thomas Hargrave - married Letitia LANE.
- Hardy Hargrave -
- Katherine Hargrave -
- Keziah Hargrave -
- ?Olive Hargrave? -
9. Hartwell Hargrave, (1730 - 1796)
Hartwell Hargrave was born in 1730 in Surry County, VA. He was a Quaker, a member of the Blackwater Monthly Meeting.
Hartwell Hargrave married Miriam BAILEY around 12 month, 18 day, 1755 in Surry County, VA. Miriam Bailey was the daughter of Benjamin Bailey.
In 1767 Hartwell Hargrave was granted a certificate excusing him from military service as Quakers did not believe in violence, nor the support of violence. The Quaker faith also opposed slavery and during 1782 many members of the Blackwater Meeting began freeing their slaves. Hartwell Hargrave had freed one slave in 1776, and 3 more in 1782.
On 10 SEP 1794 Hartwell Hargrave wrote his will. Miriam Hargrave had died before this time. The will was probated on 28 APR 1796 in Surry County, VA.
The children of Hartwell and Miriam (Bailey) Hargrave were:
- Sarah Hargrave - see the next section.
- Herman Hargrave
- James Hargrave
- Milly Hargrave
10. Sarah Hargrave, (1767 - 1856)
Sarah Hargrave was born in 1767 in Surry County, VA. Sarah married to Robert E. Elliston, Jr. in VA sometime during the American Revolution. Though her parents were Quakers, there is no record of Sarah's marriage or expulsion from the faith recorded in the existing minutes.
For details about the family of Robert and Sarah (Hargrave) Elliston, please see the ELLISTON/ELLISON Family page.

CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa City police officer pulled over a speeding
SUV - then helped the driver and his passenger deliver a baby.
When Officer Kevin Wolfe stopped the
vehicle Sunday night, the driver jumped out and yelled, "Sir, we're
delivering a baby right here, right now!"
Wolfe tells Cedar Rapids TV station
KCRG that by the time he reached the passenger door of the SUV, the baby's head
and arms were already out. He assisted in the final stages of the delivery and
wrapped the child in a blanket before escorting the family to a hospital.
The episode was captured by Wolfe's
dashboard camera.
Police spokeswoman Vicki Lalla says Wolfe didn't issue a speeding ticket and so did not take down
the parents' names.

Grocery Unions At Stop & Shop Take Obamacare's Leap of Faith
by Administrator
Some 40,000 workers at more than 250 New England supermarkets approved new collective bargaining agreements this month in an uneasy embrace by their union of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, also known as Obamacare.
The contracts between the regional Stop & Shop grocery chain and five separate locals of the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) union were ratified in rank-and-file votes held March 10—but only after tortured contract talks that centered on the impact of Obamacare on low-income shelf stockers, check-out clerks and other part-time workers, UFCW leaders say.
In the end, despite what the union sees as favorable provisions on wages and most other issues, the new contracts will eliminate existing health insurance coverage for thousands of Stop & Shop part-timers.
When the union enthusiastically backed President Barack Obama's health insurance reform proposals back in 2009-2010, "this is not what we bargained for," says Don Clifford, president of UFCW Local 1459 in Springfield, Mass.

what about the hours for part time employees many of the management play hide and seek game by cutting down hours …new immigrants have the problem of getting part time jobs…and in the hours they get they are squeezed to the ultimate level of hardships..and Management doesn't care .What the employee must do? like for me since last 4 months I just clock less than 60 hours!!!!!!!Even though I am hired for a particular area the management uses me like a ping pong ball?

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Here is my
promised review for you homes
Raw, February 20, 2006
In Ring-Chris Jericho
Jericho comes out talks crap about how he got screwed three times in a row during the summer of 2005, you know same old Y2J! Then Cena comes along and talks to Jericho telling him he didn't get screwed he just sux. Well all true and good segment to kick off Raw!
Match 1-Big Show/Kane vs. 3MW
Good way to start the Action with the tag team champs defending their titles against worthy opponents and they prove to be worthy as they beat Kane after a moon sault and then they well are new champs, their title reign will end in a month or two, tops!
Another Money in the Bank match at Mania will be a match not to use the restroom during, I am tuning into that match and can't wait to see who the participants are!
Match 2-Ashley vs. Victoria
I don't like diva matches but if you don't have them then a show is not complete, I would rather see a bra & panties match but nice win for Victoria after, I guess, a good match and a devastating Widows Peak!
I dislike Eugene very much and favor Bishoff any day. I loved that 5 on 1 match last week and I only hope Eugene gets a fair match (Sarcasm)
Match 3-Eugene vs. Ken
Not that interesting of a match but I liked how Spirit Squad beat Eugene again! I love you!
Interview-Shelton Benjamin
Nice to see Shelton getting an Intercontinental championship match and even an interview before. Man Benjamin is getting some props for his athletic matches and gets a chance! Nice interview, stupid Maria!
Classroom-Matt Striker
Wow know I know half my friends are backstabbers, people who talk behind your back everyday of the week? Man I am going to start cutting my wrist! J/k
Match 4-Masters vs. Benjamin
Probably one of the most hyped matches and if it were finished via submission or pin fall I would have been happy, maybe they will finish the rivalry at Mania with the contract and the title on the hook? Also nice to see the King of Harts, Owen Hart being inducted!
Match 5-Austin/Michaels vs. Triple H/Kurt Angle
Huge match as it was the most hyped and people from, my school were even talking about it, and okay that was sarcasm. But there wasn't a dull moment as all the heel lumberjacks interfered all throughout and a very impressive ending with nobody winning, I like matches like that because it hypes it up even more!
Overall 8/10-nice Raw looking forward to all the MITB II participants and I cannot wait for SNME to see SCSA vs. HHH that will definitely be a good match and I like that stipulation!

My name is Emily Beth, and I'm your resident health-nut conspirator. I'm a 20 year-young vegan, who is absolutely obsessed with the food industry, the food they distribute, and how our body utilizes that food. This is the tumblr where you will learn about whats good and whats bad. I'm also going to spread awareness about the evil reality that is the FDA. I am on a personal crusade to save the world by helping people make better choices.
Mac and cheese might just be the "ultimate kid's food" for children around the world, but if you're anything like me, you'll still be eating it until you're old and wrinkly. Because it is a kid's food, you already know off the bat that it CAN'T be good for you. Cheese, pasta, milk — all the ingredients needed to win you fat-ass of the year award! Not to mention the powdered cheese that comes in the box comes from cows that are treated with nasty shit like hormones, antibiotics, and painfully milked-dry cows. YUCK! I don't know about you guys, but I'm not into putting that filth into my body. However, there is a wonderful solution.
Annie's is an all-natural brand thats based out of a family-owned farm in Connecticut. All of their products are either all-natural or organic. Even though you can find their products in whole foods and health-conscious super markets all over the country, they're NOT an evil food corporation (just take a look at their website — they even give you a video-tour of their farm, and the names and twitters of the people who run their company! How lovely!)
Annie's is my favorite brand. Everything they make is delicious and wholesome. But back to the topic of mac and cheese, Annie's Shells & Real Aged Chedder is FANTASTIC! Take a look the product description:
"Annie's Cheddar Mac (as we call it!) is our answer to all those chemically orange colored cheeses out there. We've taken our original Shells & White Cheddar and added a little color to it, naturally! Our totally natural cheese is colored with a plant extract called annatto. Annatto has been used in tropical American cultures for generations to color foods such as butter, cheese and mustard. The annatto tree grows 20 to 30 feet in height and when its seeds are stirred in water, they produce orange annatto dye, also called achiote, to color foods. Annie's Cheddar Macaroni and cheese is a great alternative for kids who need to have that "orange" cheese on their macaroni. Good Source of Protein Good Source of Calcium Good Source of Vitamin A Good Source of Thiamin (Vit. B1) Good Source of Folic Acid Yeast Free 0g Trans Fat Vegetarian"
I think its safe to say that "carbs" are everyone's favorite part of a meal; Breads, pastas, rice, and even desserts! Its a simple enough statement, yeah? But lets not forget, we live in the 21st century, and there are very few things that are simple these days — including our super markets and variety of foods!
Walk down the bread isle of your super market, and you'll see a thousand options:
And the list goes on and on. But what does it all mean? Which breads are actually good for you? Which breads are MARKETED to be good for you, but really aren't? Which breads are just loafs of health-problems city? Well, I'm going to break it down for you.
White vs Wheat vs Whole Grain
THEORY: Make something look awesome, and people will want it.
This same theory is directly applied to white bread:
You start out with a grain of whole wheat. Then, in a LAB, they refine the grain by literally taking out all of the good and beneficial parts of the grain — this leaves you with refined white flour. Next, they bleach the refined flour using chemical bleaching agents which contain chlorine, and then dry it in kilns at high temperature to kill any beneficial remains. Not over yet though. Next, they add gluten, which is directly linked to causing inflammation and worsening health problems. But don't worry — the gluten is what gives it that fluffy, mouth-watering texture.
This, my friends, is what white bread is. Just like the photo shopped model, white bread is designed in a lab to have a texture and (lack of) taste that will make us drool. It is an empty, bleached, refined, and unnatural product that will make your tummy bloat and your hips and ass explode. If you're into that kind of thing, then I mean, continue eating your white bread. But if you're trying to make smarter choices, you should now see that
(This process is also how they achieve all white products. And remember, refined flour is used in almost all sweets.)
The lesser of two evils, we have whole wheat. Lets start off with a nice, big, disappointing fact: whole wheat and white bread have the same impact on blood sugar (which is NOT a good impact). Eating two slices of whole wheat bread effects your body and blood sugar the same way one snickers bar would. It raises your blood sugar, which isn't good if you're diabetic.
So then whats good about whole wheat, and what exactly is it? Wheat is a kind of grain, and whole wheat is when every part of the wheat is used: the bran, endosperm, and germ. These three components of all grains are GOOD for you! The bran supplies antioxidants, B vitamins, trace minerals, and dietary fiber. The endosperm is the inner part of the grain with most of the proteins and carbohydrates and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Lastly, the germ is rich in B vitamins, vitamin E, trace minerals, antioxidants and essential fats.
So whole wheat bread definitely has some benefits to it! At least more than white bread! But this bread is no saint either. In addition to having a high sugar index, wheat is also ADDICTING! Wheat is an opiate that doesn't make us feel high — it makes us feel HUNGRY! This is the effect exerted by gliadin, the protein in wheat that was inadvertently altered by geneticists in the 1970s. The whole wheat we praise is genetically altered in a lab to be an appetite stimulant. So, whole wheat is a healthier bread that stimulates your appetite and in turn will make you fatter. And before we decide if wheat is "good or bad," let me just throw one more fun fact out there: because wheat is an opiate, people get withdrawals from it, just like with "real" drugs. Try not eating products with wheat in it for one day — you go nuts. Trust me, I've tried it.
SO, whole wheat: yay or nay? It has fiber and nutrients, but its an appetite stimulant and addictive. I can't tell you what to think, but I can give you the facts. Whether you want to consume whole wheat products is up to you. Personally, I believe if you can deal with withdrawals and control your appetite, you'll be okay.
So, now that you know the facts, you can make the right decision, or at least a HEALTHIER decision when choosing bread :)

Cant deal w your fucking victim complex stop being such a child, no ones going to be soft on you. They sure as hell werent on me. You fucking complain about laundry and small ass shit
People always care about me in a way that's only relevant if it helps them. I'm romanticized so people can feel good about having a relationship with me. People don't seem to actually listen to what I say, They kind of believe what they want. They mold me into a person that makes them happier with who I am. Do not objectify me.
-"You use me. You treat me more like an object than a person. You ignore parts of me and focus on the ones that you likes and want to use to make you feel happy."
You don't care about me more than it helps you.
Sick of it.
guys are allowed to be controlling and mean and scary and stuff so w hy ca n t iiii? I wanna be the "man" I don't wanna be fucked in da butt omg though like every porn gif is showcasing the girl, not the guy and that's one of the biggest reasons i care about control so much like ugH i dont want to be the meat
I'm not sure what to do about it though. I want to hurt him the way he hurt me. I want his friends to stop pitying him and instead hate him. I was so good to him, I didn't even care about anyone else. He fucking flirted with a GUY behind my back. Now is he lying to me, or to the guy? Did he honestly want to make the excuse that I didn't give him enough attention and he needed it elsewhere? Is he really going to say that I didn't devote my entire heart and soul to him? I gave him so much and was planning on so much more. I had such sweet plans. Everything is ruined. I'm so fixated on the fact that he talked to that guy. A lot. It makes me want to vomit every time I think about it, although I only did once yesterday. In the fucking shower. He lied to me when I only wanted him. I can't believe he's such a hypocrite. I can't believe anything anymore. He lied to me so much and I feel so stupid for falling into the trap again. Just like how Josh had feelings for Gabby. Jacob didn't want to go to prom with me. He was so called "in love" with me, but wanted merely to go to get lucky. I worked so hard on being able to o with him, I did so much for him. Maybe all his friends are taking his side right now because most of them are shitty people anyway. No one is worried about me at all. I'm the bad guy, once again. It was stupid to talk about it on my blog though, unnecessary and gives people a reason to think I'm even worse than I am. I didn't feel anything when I cut myself. Surprising, because it has been a while. I don't know why I'm holding on anymore, my excuse to hold on was always so I could experience college. But it seems like I'll only be hurting there as well. He didn't even know if he loved me. He "remembered the date" I told him and shit, but he didn't even love me then. He lied. He said it because he didn't know what to do. I always thought the look on his face was one of glee, but it was just one of panic. And he told people about it. That moment was so special to me but… Did he ever even love me? Or did he just want to fuck me? Because in the very beginning, he said he didn't care about that. He fucking lied about everything.
"I love you but this is too much"
My life summed up. Brady. Noble. Megan. Lina. Johndell. JOSH. Jacob…

Tour Versace's Decadent Mansion Before It Goes Up For Auction
- Entertainment
Subtle was not a word the late Gianni Versace was familiar with. The upscale designer's Miami Beach mansion is an ode to glamour and opulence just as his namesake clothing line continues to be. Now, the 23,000 square foot home is set to auction on September 17 -- with the minimum bid starting at 25 million dollars.
Even though the Versace family hasn't owned the property since 2000, real estate auctioneers involved hope the fashion mogul's name will add value to the already luxurious spread.
The sprawling South Beach mansion comes with:
-10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms
- A swimming pool with inlaid 24-karat gold tiles
- Gold-plated bathroom fixtures
- Gold Medusa heads statues at the gated entrance
- Panoramic ocean views
- Mosaic flooring
- Open air courtyard
- Custom frescos and murals made exclusively for Versace himself
The museum-like qualities are opened for tours though -- those joining the auction for 1116 Ocean Drive must sign a confidentiality agreement and prove they have the funds.

Brighton is a town in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada, approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi) east of Toronto and 100 km (62 mi) west of Kingston. It is intersected by both Highway 401 and the former Highway 2. It is on the West end of the Bay of Quinte on the entrance of the Murray Canal.
Brighton was primarily an agricultural community, specializing in the farming of apples and production of new apple types. However, in recent years, many of the original orchards in the area have been partially removed, to make way for the steadily growing population, and more profitable agricultural produce, such as: wheat, corn and soybeans. In late September, Brighton is host to Applefest, its largest yearly festival.
The Municipality of Brighton (an amalgamation of the former Town of Brighton and Brighton Township) is home to approximately 10,200 inhabitants, with a higher than average percentage of those retired. This is normal, as the quiet, clean and friendly atmosphere of many smaller towns near lake Ontario tend to draw the elderly as popular places for retirement living.
Many small hamlets surround the town, including Codrington, Carman, Hilton, Spring Valley and Smithfield. Presqu'ile Provincial Park, just south of the town, is one of Brighton's most popular attractions. The park is noted for birdwatching and other nature-oriented activities.

The Politics of Hate
It's the most rabid opponents of the First Amendment's separation of church and state who argue that freedom of religion isn't the same thing as freedom from religion. We can't be "protected" from exposure to religion in everyday life and it's not the government's job to keep religion lock up in churches and temples and mosques.
Which is interesting, because these same people fight for laws to free us from religions they disapprove of. It was, after all, Republicans who fought to keep Wiccan chaplains out of the armed forces, for example. And let's not even get started on protecting Americans from the evils of atheism. When the argument is made that there is no freedom from religion, what's really meant is that government can't protect you from exposure to Christianity — every other religion is fair game.
This is the case with Oklahoma's "Save Our State" amendment, which is meant to protect that state from the evils of sharia law. Of course, saving Oklahoma from the dangers of sharia is completely unnecessary — not only is the state in no danger of falling to Muslim fundamentalist authoritarianism, but religious-based law is already unconstitutional. as threats go, this is about as close to nonexistent as you can get without involving unicorns and fairies.
But of course, the purpose of the amendment to the state's constitution has nothing at all to do with any actual threat, it was merely a referendum on Islam itself, meant to both promote bigotry and use that bigotry to bring people to the polls. It's not about solving a problem, but of creating the appearance of one, while at the same time encouraging people to let hate and fear inform their decisions. Saudi Arabia has Muslims, Oklahoma has Muslims, therefore Oklahoma is in danger of becoming Saudi Arabia. Be terrified — and don't forget to keep hating those Muslims.
It's at this point that I very nearly wrote, "Luckily, this is all unconstitutional." Except luck has nothing to do with it. It's unconstitutional by design. Freedom of religion means freedom of religion and, if you don't like a certain religion, tough luck. The words the right practically worship — "freedom" and "liberty" — are words that actually mean something. And the plain fact is that passing laws to fight a religion aren't the definitions of those words. It's the opposite of the definitions of those words.
So a federal judge blocked the amendment. Before you start yelling "states' rights!" and "tenth amendment!" I remind you that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. If you want to write something crazy into your states constitution, that's all very cute and adorable. But if it's contrary to the US Constitution, you're wasting your time. You don't get to do that.
Religious organizations agree. When states are allowed to pick and choose which religions they approve of, then you have states engaging in the "establishment of religion." They're only doing it subtractively — rule out religions until there's only one left, but pass no law specifically establishing that state religion.
But the main purpose was to cash in on the rightwing "ground zero mosque" hysteria before that fad faded into the background. Get people freaked out about Muslims taking over, then get people to go to the polls to vote against it. It wasn't sharia that was being attacked, it was Islam.
"The BJC's brief argues that the Oklahoma amendment violates the Establishment Clause for two separate and distinct reasons," reports Baptists Today of the Baptist Joint Committee, who've written a "friend of the court" brief supporting the judge's decision. "First, 'the amendment's purpose plainly is to disapprove of the Islamic tradition.' Secondly, 'the amendment's dual specific references to Shari law — and to no other religious tradition — have the unambiguous effect of communicating official disapproval of Islam.'"
How is this good for America? How is encouraging Americans to hate and fear other Americans helpful to the nation? And this is the GOP's modus operandi — whether it's gays or atheists or Wiccans or Muslims. Those Americans over there — they're the problem. Eliminating them from public discourse will solve everything. Let's pass us some laws.
And they call themselves patriots.

American will count on Moldoveanu to anchor things up front
About this series: Not wanting to duplicate the Patriot League team-by-team previews we wrote for the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, we came up with the idea of taking a look at each team through a different lens. We utilized the old SWOT analysis concept. Not familiar with SWOT? It stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
In this context, we tried to examine what are each teams strengths and weaknesses, who might get opportunities or what opportunities there may be for team success and what are the biggest threats to the team's success in the 2010-11 season.
First up, American University
CONFERENCE RECORD: 7-7 (4th -tie)
2009-10 FINISH: Lost in Patriot League semifinals.
COACH: Jeff Jones (Virginia '82)
RECORD AT AU: 160-141 (10 years)
CAREER RECORD: 306-245 (17 years)
STRENGTHS: Vlad Moldoveanu: A 6-9 senior,Moldoveanu (18.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg) became eligible at the end of the first semester last season after sitting out a year following his transfer from George Mason. When he took the floor the Eagles became a completely different team.
In the 22 games he played, Moldoveanu scored a total of 399 points. The only Eagle to score more all season was 6-8 junior Stephen Lumpkins, who finished with 403. Lumpkins, who was eligible from the start, played in 9 more games and tallied 213 minutes more playing time.
Lumpkins (13 ppg, 8.5 rpg) actually benefitted greatly from Moldoveanu's presence. His scoring average went up nearly a point per game in conference play.
"When Vlad became eligible, Lump got some more room down there," says Jones.
The starting frontcourt: Moldoveanu's ability to step out and shoot the three and Lumpkins power game on the block offer as good a starting 4 and 5 combination as there is in the league.
The team's leading rebounder, Lumpkins ranked second on the boards in the league. His 48 blocked shots were the second most for a season in school history.
Junior Riley Grafft (5.6 ppg, 3.6 rpg) started 16 games last season. A skinny 6-11, Grafft is more a stretch-the-floor shooter than back to the basket post player. He should be better with a year of experience and a little added strength and maturity
Coach Jeff Jones: Jones is one of the league's winningest coaches. Only Fran O'Halon, who has won 213 games at Lafayette has more Ws in league play. O'Hanlon, who has coached in the league 15 years, has won 99 conference games. Jones has won 82 in 10 seasons and his 82-44 league record is easily the top winning percentage in the Patriot League.
WEAKNESSES: The point. Two now-sophomores, Daniel Munoz and Blake Jolivette, and senior Steve Luptak each tried to fill the shoes of four-year starter Derrick Mercer. Neither did enough to make Jones anoint them the starter prior to the start of fall drills.
The 6-1 Munoz (4.6 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 2.3 apg) started 20 games a year ago. The 5-11 Jolivette (4.1 ppg, 1.6 rpg) started 10. And Luptak (3.0 ppg, 1.5 rpg), who stands 6-3m started 7 games, with his minutes picking up late in the season.
"Nobody did anything last year to make us think they won the job going into the season," Jones says.
A 5-10 freshman, Wayne Simon, who was an Illinois all-state selection out of St. Joseph's High School in Westchester, Ill. has the best ball skills of the bunch, says Jones. Jones even goes so far as to suggest Simon might have been the Eagles starter at the one if he'd been in school last year.
Jones has even hinted he might play at times without a true point on the floor, opting to just toss out the best five players on the roster.
OPPORTUNITIES: Two transfers will inject some athleticism to Jones' rotation when they become eligible. Troy Brewer (2.1 ppg, 0.9 rpg in 2008-2009 at Georgia), a 6-5 guard. will be eligible from the start of the season.
Brewer saw limited playing time in two seasons at Georgia. As a senior at Montrose Christian High School in nearby Gaithersburg, Md., Brewer was MVP of the 2007 Capital Classic all-star get together, where he also won the three-point shooting contest.
"Troy is very athletic for the Patriot League level. He really brings something different to our rotation," Jones says. "He has the ability to knock down the three-pointer and is working to get better putting the ball on the floor."
Brewer also possesses a long wing span, says Jones, and all the tools needed to become an excellent defender if he develops that mindset.
The other SEC refugee joining the Eagles is Charles Hinkle, a 6-5 junior guard (1.4 ppg, 0.5 rpg 2008-2009 at Vanderbilt) is a 22-year-old junior will add maturity to the AU roster when he becomes eligible at the end of first semester.
Hinkle spent a season prepping at Hebron Academy in Maine after graduating from Los Alamitos High School in California. He also took a redshirt as a freshman at Vandy after breaking an ankle.
Big and strong, with a solid mid-range jumper, Hinkle has the versatility to exploit matchups, Jones says. He can post up most wings and is too quick for most forwards.
If Hinkle and Brewer make even half the impact Moldoveanu did, American will be a tough matchup for a lot of people.
Combined with 6-3 senior wing Nick Hendra (10 ppg, 5.2 rpg), Brewer and Hinkle will give Jones a lot of weapons on the wing.
THREATS: Vlad's weakness exposed?: Late last season some teams opted to put smaller defenders on Moldoveanu with some success.
Against Bucknell he went 1 for 7, finishing with 2 points. He mustered only 2 points against Lehigh in the tournament semis, making 1 of just 4 shots he managed to get off. Moldoveanu was 2-for-13 against Navy in the first round of the Patriot tournament and Holy Cross held him to a 2 for 9 night in the second half of the league schedule.
Moldoveanu will need to improve his post game to exploit the size advantage he has when teams opt to take away his perimeter game with quicker defenders.
Depth is another issue. The Eagles could probably put together the most athletic five in the league, but behind those five there are question marks. A relatively weak bench leaves the Eagles particularly vulnerable
And then there is the question of how quickly the transfers can brush off the rust of their season spent sitting to satisfy NCAA transfer rules.
If they readjust as quickly as Moldoveanu did last season, that won't be a problem. But players in similar situations have been known to struggle.

Re: Measuring joules/watts?

Cool. So, measure the volts and amps coming out of the panel, because W = V*A. Makes sense.
Being an electronics NOOB, can anybody recommend some Arduino-friendly parts / circuit diagrams for the ammeter portion?

Measuring joules/watts?
on: March 01, 2011, 01:15:35 am
I would like to do a little project with a solar panel, something to measure the actual watts coming out of the thing, and an Arduino to integrate the panel's output over time.
However, I haven't any idea of how I would build a circuit to measure the actual amount of power the panel is producing. Is there an off-the-shelf component that will measure that for me? Or measure some related value(s) through which I can calculate the watts?
Any pointers to circuit diagrams, wikipedia pages, or anything to help me get going would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Grumpy_Mike. The AD537 looks like a good option. The datasheet even includes a helpful two-wire schematic with frequency-to-voltage conversion on the receiving end! Looks like that, plus some experimenting, calibration, and a bit of software will do the job.

Re: Advice for sensors with LONG leads?
on: February 23, 2011, 05:37:10 pm
Well, the sensors I happen to have on hand (well, at home) are Phidgets sensors; I don't know specifically what part numbers they are. But, they come with an easy-disconnect connector, giving access to the sensor board's raw analog +/-/ground lines. I was planning on plugging these straight into the Arduino's analog inputs. I'm certainly willing to buy something else if it's affordable and is in some way just the thing for the job. Basically, I'm open to anything that will help me just get the job done.
I would, ideally, like as few wires as possible running over that 70 foot span. I would DEFINITELY like to avoid the complexities of separate power et cetera for the remote location.
Given that I haven't the slightest idea how to do voltage/frequency conversion but am willing to learn, can somebody point me towards specific parts, schematics, tutorials, or whatever that can at least get me started down the right road of research? At the moment, I know little enough that I feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark. Thanks!

Advice for sensors with LONG leads?
on: February 23, 2011, 04:51:22 pm
The project I'm working on needs to monitor temperature in two places. One, at the location of the Arduino. Two, about 70 feet (20+ meters) away.
Can I just solder reeeeealy long lead wires onto that temperature sensor, or will goofy electronics effects I know nothing about come into play to mess me up? And if long lead wires aren't going to work, what should I do?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Re: Automatic Fan Control: advice needed
on: February 22, 2011, 05:48:22 pm
Thank you. That helps.
I do not plan on varying the fan speed. No PWM, just on/off. I know I'll be using a standard 120mm PC case fan or CPU fan (whatever I can find that's QUIET and inexpensive), something that moves about 70 CFM, and while most of those support variable speed use these days I don't see why I'd really need that. Worst case, that'll be a version 2.0 improvement I can make.
Looks like SparkFun makes an "Ardumoto motor driver shield" that is what I need to switch the fan on/off while powering it separately. Here's a new block diagram:

Automatic Fan Control: advice needed
on: February 22, 2011, 02:43:25 pm
This is my first post here, so please be gentle. :)
So I'm building a solar furnace up on my roof to help heat my house in the winter. Basically, one of these:
Except not made of pop cans, and running the full 60 foot length of my roof's ridge line. Whatever.
Here is a high-level block diagram of what I'm thinking:
The idea is pretty obvious: I want Arduino to monitor the indoor house temperature and the temperature inside the solar box, so it can turn the fan on automatically when it makes sense to do so. Basically, turn on when there's enough of a temperature difference for it to be worth running the system.
In the end I want to mount all this permanently. I'll fashion a housing to mount the display, control buttons, and Arduino board behind a nice wall panel. I am BRAND NEW to the whole world of Arduino (last time I dabbled in hardware, everybody was still building their own HC11 boards, and that level of electronics was beyond me), so don't assume that I know anything. Here are my issues and questions. Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
1. What should my approach to power be? Since it's going to be mounted inside the wall, obviously I want to run the whole thing off of house current. Does an Arduino kit come with an appropriate wall wart or something else I can hack to permanently join it to my house current? (I told you I'm brand new at this.) Can I power the fan _through_ the Arduino somehow, or will I need to supply the fan with its own 12V supply that the Arduino merely switches on and off?
2. Sensors. The indoor temperature should be easy, right? It seems like there are plenty of samples and tutorials for temperature measurement using Arduino, all of which have the sensor itself positioned very close to the board, and that's the same situation for me. Measuring the temperature inside the solar box, however, is another matter. That's up on the roof, and the way this thing is going to be mounted in practice, the ideal location for measuring the box temperature (that is, at the output end), is roughly 70 feet (20+ meters) away from the Arduino. Will the normal methods of hooking up a thermistor to an Arduino work at that kind of distance, or will the cumulative resistance of the sensor wire itself become a problem? Less optimally, but likely still acceptable, I could measure the temperature at the closer end of the solar box, which would only be about 10 feet (3 meters) away from the Arduino. So, is there a way I can get reliable temperature readings from 70 feet away, or should I give up and measure at the near end of the box?
3. Control buttons. Is there anything weird I need to know or plan for about hooking up buttons (momentary contact switches)? Do we de-bounce buttons in hardware or software these days?
4. Status display. It seems that the Arduino crowd is pretty fond of the HD44780 style character displays, which is just fine for my purposes. Besides the display itself, what other parts will I need to hook it up?
5. What Arduino should I use? It seems there are quite a number of models out there; what models are going to have enough inputs to deal with two buttons and two sensors, and outputs to control the display and the fan? Or is this a non-issue?
6. What else should I have asked about? Since I'm brand new to all of this, there's probably something all you experienced folks know I should be worrying about, but I'm still too clueless to ask. Help a brother out, yeah?
Thanks in advance!

(AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have lost twice to revitalized St. Louis since the Blues hired coach Ken Hitchcock, but two visits to Joe Louis Arena this week could slow the Blues' surge.
The Red Wings look to win their 11th straight home game when they host St. Louis on Tuesday night.
Detroit has played nine of its last 12 away from home, and after Tuesday will return to the road for four of five. The Red Wings (22-12-1) will therefore look to take advantage of a brief stop at home.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Trial Begins for $240k Bank Robbery in 1993

David Friedman, a/k/a Silly Billy, is the city'sand possibly the country'smost famous children's birthday party clown. Silly Billy has often been featured in fluffy articles, but there are things about his family's past that are not fluffy at all. In the mid 1980s, the Friedmans of Great Neck, Long Island, were caught up in a sex scandal of epic proportions. The case was widely publicized at the time, but a new documentary, Capturing the Friedmans(opening May 30), offers a more intimate portrait of this tragic clana Franny and Zooey-esque collection of neurotic but gentle eccentrics, at once brilliant and doomed.
Silly Billy belongs to the category of not very nice clowns who scold and screech at children at their birthday parties. Still, he stops short of being mean or scary. In fact, Silly Billy is such a schlemiel that he makes tiny children feel superiorand perhaps even a little sadistic. He does the same magic trick over and over, wrong every time, until the four-year-olds are shrieking with contempt; then he does it right, all the while cracking jokes that only the parents get. Everybody loves him; moms recommend him to their friends. David's younger brother Seth was a well-known advocate of underground publishing during the 1990s, putting out the exhaustive media-watchdog zine review Fact Sheet Five.
And there was the late paterfamilias, Arnold Friedman. A Coney Island-raised Caspar Milquetoast with shapeless clothes and major myopia, he was nonetheless a vortex for the energies of other people, most of them young. During the '40s and '50s, he was a talented Latin-music pianist and mambo bandleader who played venues like Roseland. After he married and had three boys, he became a teacher in Queens. At Bayside High School, he was known for his radio-TV-film course. Former students would speechify at class reunions about how Mr. Friedman turned their lives aroundweaned them from teenage anomie, pointed them to careers in media.
(Photo: Magnolia Pictures)
But Arnold had a secret life that the police eventually pounced on and used to destroy the family. That is the subject of Andrew Jarecki's award-winning Capturing the Friedmans. For New York's most famous clown, the release of the documentary is both cathartic and terrifying.
Arnold Friedman was a pedophile. According to forensic psychiatric reports developed as his case unfolded, he harbored sexual urges for boys ages eight and upward. He managed to keep these proclivities secret until late 1987, when police raided the Friedman home based on evidence obtained in a three-year-long postal sting operation. In 1984, Arnold had ordered a kiddie porn magazine from the Netherlands that the feds intercepted at JFK. A postal inspector then pretended to be a fellow pedophile, writing letter after letter cajoling Arnold to put something in the mail.
After he finally did and the house was searched, the feds told Nassau County police that Arnold was giving computer lessons at home. Worried that he was photographing and molesting his grade school students, detectives seized class rosters and started interviewing. Within weeks, according to police reports, several little boys were accusing Arnold of priming them for sex by showing them dirty computer games, then raping and terrorizing them for months, even years. Jesse Friedman, the youngest of Arnold's three sons and his classroom assistant, was also implicated. Both were arrested on charges of child molestation. Capturing the Friedmans shows the family members convulsed by their discovery of Arnold's pedophilia and their powerlessness before the rage of the cops and communityeven as they at first staunchly proclaim Arnold's and Jesse's innocence.
Because I knew the family and have written extensively about cultural hysteria over child sex abuse in schools, I appear in the film as a talking head and was hired to consult on it. I also told director Jarecki about the family's home movies, some of which he ended up using in his documentary. Amazingly, the Friedmans' shock, shame, internecine warfare, and indignationlike their childhood skits and cheerful family holidaysare captured on videotape, which David recorded for many months, up to and including his father's and brother's convictions.
I first heard from Jesse and Arnold in 1989, shortly after they were sent to prison. Back then, I got a lot of mail from inmates claiming they'd been falsely convicted. The Friedmans wanted me to look into their case, but I demurred. I was put off by Arnold, who told me in a quavering, stop-start voice over a prison pay phone: "Since childhood I've been tortured by this problem. You have to remember, those magazines used to be perfectly legal. I was trying so hard to control my urges. To not touch a child. My therapist told me to go to Times Square and buy porn. To sublimate with. He called it a prescription." And there was also the matter of Arnold's and Jesse's confessionsJesse had even repeated his on Geraldo.

What is a central venous line?
Why do I need a central line?
Are there any alternatives to a central line?
How is it put in?
What are the risks of central lines?
Keeping the line clean
Publication Information
A central line is a long fine catheter with an opening (sometimes multiple openings) at each end used to deliver fluids and drugs. Your doctor has suggested that you (or your relative) have a central venous catheter inserted (also known as 'central line', 'long line', 'CVC' or PICC). The term 'central line will be used from this point on.
A central line is a long fine catheter with an opening (sometimes multiple openings) at each end used to deliver fluids and drugs. The central line is inserted through the skin into a large vein that feeds into a larger vein sitting above the heart, so that the tip of the catheter sits close to the heart. There are several veins that are suitable for access, and the line may be inserted above or below the collarbone, on the side of your neck, in your groin or at the front of the elbow. The actual skin entry site depends on which vein is used. The line that is inserted at the elbow is called a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter), and the lines that enter the shoulder or neck are called Central Venous Lines.
When the line is not in use, a plastic cap and a clamp to prevent leaking of blood close any part of the line that sits outside the body. The central line is tied in place with sutures (stitches) and can be left in position for a few weeks. A PICC will sometimes be secured with a "Stat lock" device (ie without stitches), and can be left in position for several weeks to months as long as it does not become infected.
Central lines are used to give fluids, blood products, chemotherapy and other drugs (such as antibiotics) directly into the bloodstream. Many of these drugs and fluids are not suitable to be given through smaller veins in the hand and forearm because they are very irritating to the lining of the veins, and would soon cause small veins to form blood clots and stop working. Central lines can sometimes be used to take repeated blood samples, thus reducing the number of repeated needle stabs in your arm.
Most fluids and drugs (such as antibiotics) can be given through a smaller intravenous line into small veins of the hand or forearm, but these lines do not generally last long, and will need to be changed every 2 or 3 days. Some drugs and fluids (such as liquid food in the form of TPN 'total parenteral nutrition') can only be given through a central line.
A doctor or a nurse specialist puts in the central line. They will explain the procedure to you, and will usually also attach a heart monitor to you while they put in the line. Sometimes you may be given sedation so that you are drowsy and relaxed during the procedure.
These are generally the things that happen during the line insertion:
A PICC is also inserted in a sterile fashion.
The injection of local anaesthetic is usually the part of the procedure that causes the most discomfort. Once the needle or cannula is sitting in the vein the remainder of the procedure is not painful. Some minor bleeding may be seen at the insertion site on the first day.
A chest X-Ray is taken to see where the tip of the line is sitting in the vein.
As with most procedures there is a small risk of complications.
Accidental puncture of the artery that may cause bleeding. About 1 in 20 patients might have a nick in the artery, but this usually heals by itself as long as the blood clots normally. This is why your blood count and blood clotting are tested before the line is inserted.
Prevention of infection is an important consideration. For this reason touching to central line is discouraged and anyone who does must wash their hands first. The skin exit site must be kept clean and dry. A transparent dressing is generally used over the exit site and is changed regularly (every three to four days or as needed). Each end of the line needs to be flushed regularly to prevent the line becoming blocked, and sometimes an injection of heparin is given into the line to prevent blood clots causing a blockage.
It is recommended that you take showers rather than baths, because the line and skin exit site are not submerged in water.

Save Rep. Sean Duffy!
Rep. Sean Duffy is so, so very brave. Though he may be trying as hard as he can to remove from the Internet or cast doubts upon what he said in that one town hall video which shows him lamenting the loathsomely meager salary $174K congressional on which he supports his family and vacation house, we know that that's he wants to keep a brave and noble front.
It's nice to see that the people of his district aren't fooled and are coming to his rescue…

Why is marijuana illegal?
Marijuana WHY is it illegal?
Some say "It's a gateway drug to hard drugs because when people buy this drug off dealers they are exposed to hard drugs" If this were the reasoning legalizing marijuana would mean people wouldn't need to go to dealers who may hook them on hard drugs so we'd be "closing the gate" between soft and hard drugs.
Some say "Marijuana can kill you if you smoke it." So far there appear to be 0 recorded deaths from any kind of overdose.
Some say "Marijuana can give you mad cow disease" So far not only does it not do that but its showing to have MANY positive medical affects including but not limited to fighting cancer.
Some say "the legal costs to taxpayers to keep marijuana illegal are beyond staggering" So far this is absolutely correct.
Our debate is to determine exactly what justifies the significant societal costs of marijuana being illegal on any level at all.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 12 2013: Marijuana was made illegal due to the prohibition era of the early 20th century.
It remained illegal so as to generate a base for the government to funnel money into; different sectors of itself/law enforcement.
Its pretty much a "stubborn law" that is being held on to so tight, due to the taxable $$$ the (ie.) DEA generates in combating its illegality.
The counter balance will be its medicinal & recreational uses. However the "ace in the hole" sorta speak (for its revival) will be the taxable monies (generated)* in sales v.s. (lost) in loosing its "enforcment" generated taxes (ie. DEA) ~?~
I believe that the scales are already tipping... we just have to wait a while, as bureaucracy's a bitch.
Check out my other convo on Cannabis v.s. SSRI's in depression, anxioty, etc...
*No matter how you look at it the Cultivation, Production, Distribution (transportation), and Sales, are all taxable instances in the legal sale of Cannabis. The whole cycle is intrinsically a money maker.
