Care & Cleaning of Antique Jewelry
Open Backed Jewelry
Jewelry which is open backed (usually made after 1840) can often be cleaned using a mild jewelry cleaner or even a window cleaning product that is based on ammonia and water. Often water alone is sufficient. A light rub with a soft, lint free cloth or a very soft old toothbrush used dry or in combination with these liquids can remove dirt and grease. However, opals, pearls, turquoise, and other soft and porous gems should never be cleaned in this manner. When in doubt please consult your local jeweler. We do not recommend ultrasonic cleaners for any antique jewelry.
General Wear
Do not rub hard or use harsh fabrics as these can mar the surface of stones. Over time even wearing jewelry while sleeping can affect the surface of the stones. Be cautious about leaving jewelry in areas where the temperature is too extreme in either direction or is in direct sunlight for any period of time.
Jewelry should be stored in cotton or soft cloth and care should be taken that pieces do not knock against other pieces of jewelry. Storage in dry humid-free areas are best. Do not store at length in closed, air tight plastic bags or boxes. With a modicum of care, the jewelry you adore can last many more lifetimes to come.
Care & Cleaning for Georgian & Earlier Jewelry (Circa 1840 - prior)
Closed Backed Jewelry
Any jewelry which is closed back most likely has set stones which are foiled on the reverse. This is a metal coating that allows the stone to reflect more light. No closed back jewelry should ever be placed in water or left on the hands while washing or engaging in any other activity where water may come in contact with the stones. Any tiny gap between the mount and the stone can let in moisture and the foiling can be spoiled and change color. Be careful wearing jewelry in heavy rain as well.
Never clean any early jewelry (those with closed backs) with water or any other liquid. Use only the softest toothbrush to very gently brush away dust or old dirt. You may also use a very soft, lint free cloth to clean the surface of stones and gold and silver. Silver cloths for silver mounted jewelry or gold and silver treated cloths are fine as well to use for metal areas. Eyeglass cloths are ideal for removing light grease and dirt.
If repairs are needed, make sure the person(s) you choose has a good deal of experience with antique jewelry before entrusting pieces to their care. Don't be afraid to ask questions about their level of confidence with antique jewelry. Often, the older the piece of jewelry the more expertise is required to restore or repair the item.
If you need a consult about a piece of jewelry which you own, please don't hesitate to contact us. We work in tandem with several expert jewelers; however, please be aware that the jewelry would be sent to us to expedite its restoration. We regret but we are unable to make recommendations for jewelers in your local area. Your understanding in this regard is appreciated.

GPL Guardians Publish Guide to Not Getting Sued
The Software Freedom Law Center — champions of all things Open Source — has become a legend within the Open Source community over the past year through the nearly a dozen lawsuits filed on behalf of the developers of BusyBox against a laundry list of companies that refused to comply with the GPL. Now, they're taking the fight out of the courtroom and into the boardroom with a new guide aimed at educating managers about the requirements inherent in using Open Source software. Co-written by SFLC team members Bradley Kuhn, Aaron Williamson, and Karen Sandler, the guide offers advice for executives on the obligatiosn imposed by the GPL, as well as practices companies can put in place to prevent violations in the first place.
The guide is available from the SFLC's website as HTML, PDF, and Postscript, and is freely available for (verbatim) copying. (It is presumably also available under the CC-BY-NC-ND-2.0 license indicated at the bottom of every page on the SFLC site.) Most of all, companies should remember the number one piece of GPL-compliance advice: If the SFLC calls, listen.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Well i am not so into all this liceces, but from what i know GPL is not much different then commercial licecne?
This is not confirmed info but rather a plot keep that in mind when reading further ... and don't flame me :)
I read that when selling PHP MySQL software one has to buy MySQL licence in order to sell his software legal, i am curious if that is true?
If it is, then about 90% of developers are selling their software illegal.
On the other hand there is a note that one do not have to accept this licence because he did not signed it, but i guess if tou do not accept it then you cannot use the software.
Hmmm, whos gone crazy here?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The convergence theories and the geographic concentration in the Portuguese manufactured industry. Another approach
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present a further contribution to the analysis of absolute convergence, associated with the neoclassical theory, of the manufactured industry productivity at regional level and for the period from 1995 to 1999 (1)(Martinho, 2011a). This paper pretends, also, to analyze the importance which the natural advantages and local resources are in the manufacturing industry location, in relation with the "spillovers" effects and industrial policies. To this, we estimate the Rybczynski equation matrix for the various manufacturing industries in Portugal, at regional level (NUTS II) and for the period 1995 to 1999 (2)(Martinho, 2011b).

CSIT 2012 Conference Reflections
I've just returned from CSIT2012 conference, which gave me an extra booster shot of CS advocacy energy. Here were the highlights and lowlights for me.
The highlights (or things that energized me):
- One workshop I attended was the Exploring Computer Science - Teaching with Inquiry. I have used pieces of this curriculum with my MS tech teaching, but was excited to see how many have adopted at HS as an entre into AP CS. Their initial goal was to increase diversity of students participating in CS edu in LA schools. They have achieved 40% enrollment of girls! They are now offering support to other districts. I spoke to several educators who have implemented and seen a dramatic increase in CS participation.
- The other workshop I chose to attend was the Beauty and Joy of Computing, just cause I liked the name. I am so glad I did. Dr. Dan Garcia of UC Berkeley is practically on fire with his enthusiasm for computer science. He also showed us some really cool mods to Scratch: BYOB (downloadable that adds procedures, temp variables and recursion) and SNAP! (online version which will work on tablets!).
- The visit to the UC Irvine Bren School of ICS was really awesome. They had several demonstrations for us to see professor & student work in action. My fav was Circuit Bending (aka Toy Hacking), a project to create a workshop format for kids to learn about electronics by taking apt toys and reconfiguring them. Also Andre van deer Hoek demonstrated Calico, a system they designed to help CS students better understand the software design process. I also loved that he came running after our bus, so he could say goodbye and give us UC Irvine packages, in a real demonstration of the importance of K-12 educators to post-secondary education.
- The Opening Keynote by Baker Franke and Cameron Wilson about CS Advocacy was also very powerful and helped give me a personal boost. It's also where I got the image from.
- I learned more about the Computer Science Collaboration Project from Karen Peterson & Vicky Raya, both of whom I had met at a FabFem booth at the National Science & Engineering Festival. Does that make CS a small world?
- I loved how many CS Unplugged activities were included in different sessions.
- It was great to meet other awesome and inspiring CS educators and advocates, including Alfred Thompson (who really does wear that hat everywhere), Kathleen Weaver (also a Syster) & Patrice Gans (also a Montessori tech teacher) among many others.
The lowlights (or things that frustrated me):
- It was a really small conference and I felt by and large, one that was preaching to the choir. Now I know it is important to reinvigorate the choir, but what other venues are there to show this level of energy and commitment to CS with those who don't yet understand? Maybe there could be special invitations and incentives for administrators, edtech folks and even parents.
- I felt my own presentation, CS Education Advocacy: Lessons from Hogwarts went okay, but I was nervous and definitely stumbled over some of the content. On the plus side, I connected with another concerned CS parent and a K-8 Montessori tech teacher. No pain, no gain!
- There seemed to be an overwhelming number of HS teachers, mostly teaching AP CS and not enough K-8 teachers helping prep for this course. As someone said, for all the other AP courses, students have had plenty of experience with the subject area throughout their educational experience, but for CS there often isn't any prep and students have to dive right into the deep end.
- I was happy to find that CSTA is putting some focus on K-8 CS education, but if I'm only finding out about it at this conference, how on earth will other educators find out about it?
- No Internet access (or outrageously expensive internet access). Seems kind of crucial for a tech-based conference.

Reminders meets Alfred [Update 2.1]
Assuming you are a PowerPack user, simply download the extension on this page and double click it. This will bring up Alfred's preferences and automatically setup the extension. The syntax is described inside and at the moment let you specify one of your list of activities in which you want to add your tasks. You can add a due date and even a bunch of words as note, always via Alfred.
The main syntax for this extension is the following:
• add activityBody (notes within brackets) @ dueDate alertHour # listName
Here below you will find attached a few input examples, assuming "add" as the Alfred keyword to recall the script:
• add buy milk (chocolate one) @ 28/7/12 6:00pm # Todo
• add buy Alfred license (PowerPack) tomorrow 9:30 # Todo
• add buy MacBook Pro Retina (if I could…) # Me
• add remember to call mom today
As you can see you have always to insert the main body of tasks but you are free to add all others parameters or leave your todo simple. Notes and dueDate are optional as the ListName, which, in case it's missing, will be automatic replaced by your default list in Reminders (simply the first entry of your list). The alertHour will be setted only if there is a specified dueDate.
More info about the Reminders extension syntax can be found on the attached text file.
Update 1.1 [July 29th 2012] : this new release adds alerts only for those reminders with due date. Tasks with only body details will be added as simple todo.
Update 1.2 [July 30th 2012] :
released an "european" version of Reminders ext; here you can add dueDate with DD/MM/YYYY format. It's the link in the middle with the big EU logo on it.
Update 1.3 [August 2nd 2012] : there is now only one release with automatic region formar detection for dueDate. I've also added alertHour parameter, which give you the possibility to add a specific time for alert in 12h (adding am/pm) or 24h format
Update 1.4 [August 3rd 2012] : added in alertHour parameter, two new keyword to quickly set the reminder for today or tomorrow
Update 1.4.1 [December 3rd 2012] : now you can insert the alertHour with both colon or dot separator (23:15 as 23.15)
Update 1.4.2 [January 16th 2013]: fixed a bug where ending a task with "today/tomorrow" keyword, bring them also in the body of your activity.
Update 2.0 [March 17th 2013]: finally it's here! the new Alfred 2.0 is publicly available…so here you can find the new workflow for this new BIG release. Enjoy it :)
Update 2.1 [March 23th 2013]: fixed a bug where an Alfred query as "add call mom tomorrow" will result with a popup error. You can now also add the date without typing the year (it'll use the current year)

Football, at its best, is a beautiful cabroncete
By Eric Beard, writing from Barcelona
When 90 minutes were up and the whistle blew for extra time, time, for a moment, seemed suspended. Perhaps it was exhaustion, frustration, unbelievable pressure, or just two things wonderfully canceling one another out, but every player on the pitch in Valencia for the Copa del Rey had a moment of pure "what more can I do?". Maybe it was Xavi finding a few inches time and time again only to find that Mourinho's defensive shape was absolutely perfect. Maybe it was Pepe's glorious header off the post or Dani Alves' near-perfect performance making Mesut Ozil seem nothing more than malignant on the wing. Maybe it was Messi after being kicked by Xabi Alonso or Ronaldo not getting a few calls because of his reputation or Pedro seeing he was marginally offside moments after erupting into ecstasy. Every player will tell you that they cherished those minutes against their rivals, but at the same time those minutes were filled with the highest degree of irritation. But is all this angst, all this trepidation, simply football at its highest form?

Issue 43
7 March 2012
In the autumn the Deputy Prime Minister announced Ł50million for the Summer Schools Programme for disadvantaged pupils. The programme will take place during the 2012 summer holidays. It is open to all secondary schools and aims to help disadvantaged pupils - those registered for Free School Meals and those who have been looked after in public care continuously for six months - make a successful transition from primary to secondary school.
Ł500 will be allocated per disadvantaged pupil for a two-week summer school. We have calculated each school's indicative funding amount based on current year 7 FSM and looked after children figures. When you opt-in, you will be able to tell us the actual number of disadvantaged pupils you expect to attend.
To opt-in to the programme you will need to complete a short online form. The deadline for opting-in is 5pm on Monday 30 April 2012.
For a link to the form and more information on the Summer Schools Programme, please visit the Department for Education website.

No More Low-Confidence Days

Focus on the Inner You5 points
Compete in your personal Olympics. Confidence comes from measurable successes, says Stacy Berman, a certified personal trainer in New York City. So instead of doing the same old thing in the gym, find challenges that matter to you. How quickly can you walk from your house to your daughter's preschool? How many laps around the park can you run with your dog? Time yourself on day one, then again after two weeks of practice to gauge your progress. When you reach your preset goal, reward yourself with a manicure and pedicure.5 points
Learn to love alone time. If you need the constant buzz of other people to feel confident, take some time to appreciate the joy of solitude -- try dining solo at a sushi bar, taking a five-mile walk alone, or dedicating a Sunday afternoon to shutting off your cell phone and going for a drive. "Use the time to reflect on your accomplishments and what you value and love about yourself," says Ursiny. Think of it as a chance to recall your own "best of me" moments, unencumbered by outsiders or demands on your time.5 points
Own your look. Throw away those pictures of Reese's and Halle's hair, forget what your mom said about your needing to look "more professional," and don't let your friends talk you into a crazy color you'll later regret. Instead, find a stylist who'll work with you to create your personal style. You'll project confidence by knowing exactly who you are.

Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Back Together and Dating: 'You Can't Help Who You Date,' She Says
on May 08, 2013 12:54 PM EDT
Selena Gomez opened up about her on and off relationship with Justin Bieber, admitting in an interview with InStyle that she could not help herself from falling in love with the 19-year-old singer.
Gomez spoke to the publication before her most recent reunion with Bieber and the photos posted online proving that they have rekindled their romance. The 20-year-old Spring Breakers star said it can be difficult having a high-profile celebrity relationship and talked even about marriage.
"I'm from Texas, so I should be married with children already," she said with a smile. "I'm in love with love and totally believe in marriage, but that's not even on my radar right now. I am not putting energy into dating."
Gomez said dating the Canadian superstar was "crazy and very intense," but breaking up was even harder.
"It's uncomfortable that everywhere I go, people know," she said. "I don't like that. But Justin and I never really focused on the attention. You can't help who you date. So I wouldn't swear off that or say that's what I want again. I don't know. I'm a kid, and a breakup is normal.
"I have to go through the emotions and feel it out," she added.
When asked what she looks for in a partner, the first thing she said she looks for is honesty. The attribute is especially important in the fast pace, celebrity lifestyle "because of the distance imposed when working-you are separated so often."
"You have to be super-honest and open," the former Disney star said. "That is key."

Oakland Athletics : The Drumbeat
All about the Oakland A's
Monthly Archive for April, 2007
A rare tweak from Fosse
Hard-nosed catchers are the epitome of ballplayers and one of the best of that old-time breed, Ray Fosse, knows his baseball as well as anybody. Still, it's sometimes frustrating to listen to the veteran A's announcer because he won't say anything negative — Fosse subscribes to the say-nothing-controversial ballplayer's code made famous by a fictional […] [Read More]
Bloody good fun?
Does the whole was-it-really-blood-or-not saga with Curt Schilling make you any more intrigued to see the A's face him at Fenway Park on Tuesday? [Read More]
Piazza party
Mike Piazza is hitting .253 with just 6 RBIs in the first month of the season. Has he been a disappointment? Or are you willing to give Piazza more time before making a judgment? [Read More]
The grass is sometime$ greener
Here's a quick comparison of this year's A's hitting compared to some predecessors, guys the A's had in their system. Obviously there's no way the A's could have kept all, or even half. Still, you wonder about some front-office choices. The A's look good in the outfield (if healthy). Every other position, offensively, is a […] [Read More]
Rain on A's hit parade
Do the A's have enough offense to reach the playoffs? If not, what do they need to do get more pop in the lineup? [Read More]
The Achin' A's
The DL is pretty much full. Plus Buck, Swisher and Kielty are banged up. And it's not even May yet. It looks like it's another year of "The Adventures of the A's and Their Friend, Mr. Disabled List." What's the problem? How can a bunch of young supposedly healthy athletes have so many "owies" year […] [Read More]
Melhuse demoted to Sacramento
Surprise move — the A's activated Dan Johnson and optioned little-used catcher Adam Melhuse to Sacramento. Johnson is expected to be in the lineup tonight at first. That means DH Mike Piazza becomes the backup catcher. That's a little risky — Piazza doesn't have much of an arm and hasn't played his old position all […] [Read More]
Just how bad is the A's hitting? Real bad.
If Nick Swisher and Travis Buck can't play tonight, the A's offense will have only one hitter better than their very worst regular player of last year. This is how bad the A's hitting has been this year. Swisher and Buck are having nice seasons. Milton Bradley is having an off-season, but he's still an […] [Read More]
Enough offense?
The A's have won 11 of 20 games even though they're hitting .233, 28th out of the 30 big-league teams. How long can they keep winning with such minimal offense — and at what point would they need to consider trading some of their pitching for some offense? [Read More]
Swisher doesn't believe injury is severe
From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser Fast one from the A's post-game clubhouse: Nick Swisher said the left hamstring strain he incurred in the first inning isn't that bad. "I'm walking around, I'm fine," he said. "There's no wheelchair." He confirmed he did also roll his right ankle, too, when he put on the brakes […] [Read More]

Well folks, it's been a while since I've added to the blog, and ironically I find myself on Christmas morning finally chasing down a little "bugger" that was causing me considerable grief yesterday afternoon. So Merry Christmas, and here are a couple of tips that may save you some time when you are trying to debug event receivers in SharePoint 2010.
The first issue that remains troublesome, even with Visual Studio 2010, is debugging the activation of your feature. For example, in my case I have a feature and it contains an event receiver. For my particular scenario I wanted to bind my event receiver to a specific list, so I had an event receiver for my feature and in the activation callout I did the binding. Of course, when there are problems in there, how do we debug that? VS 2010 just tries to push out the solution, deploy it, activate it, and activate features. Well I found the simplest way to do that is to use our new friend PowerShell. I let VS 2010 do it's thing, and then I open up a PowerShell window. In PowerShell, I use the Enable-SPFeature cmdlet to go ahead and activate my feature. Before I execute that cmdlet, in VS 2010 I use the Tools...Attach to Process menu to select the PowerShell window I have open. Then when I execute the PowerShell command VS will hit the breakpoint in my Feature Activated event and I can step through my code. Not completely straightforward, but once you get the pattern down it proves to be quite useful.
The second issue that was really driving me crazy was debugging the event receiver itself. In SharePoint 2007 I would just attach to the w3wp.exe process for my web application and I was good to go - I'd hit my breakpoint and debug away. In SharePoint 2010 I was having no such luck. I was trying all sorts of things but could not get my debugger to step through the code. What was also strange is that the data my app would write to the event log was completely out of whack with my latest compiled version of the event receiver - it was from a build I had already changed some time ago. Two age old tricks finally gave me the clues I needed to solve this puzzle: 1) adding a System.Debugger.Break(); as the first line in my code and 2) rebooting the machine. The next time my receiver fired, the Debugger.Break() line forces one of those dialogs we've all seen before to appear - the one that says you've hit an unhandled exception, what do you want to use to debug it? When that dialog comes up, it also says which process the problem occurred. Well, it turns out that code is now running in the OWSTIMER.EXE process, no longer the w3wp.exe. Aha! I hate it when that happens. That not only explains why I couldn't hit my break points, it also explains why the event log data my code was writing seemed dated; it was, there was an old version of my assembly in memory with owstimer.
So, I removed Debugger.Break() statement from my code, and now my process works like this:
I'm actually adding the net stop and net start commands as post-build steps to my solution, so it will all work seamlessly moving forward. Hope this helps you if you get stranded in this same scenario.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you very much for the stop and start sptimerv4 suggestion.
It allowed me to finally debug my EventReceiver
Not sure why your blog describes debugging a feature event receiver as being so cumbersome. Might be because SharePoint 2010 was still in beta when you wrote this article. Now with the RTM of SharePoint 2010 debugging the event receiver of a feature has become as become as easy as simply having Visual Studio 2010 attach to the SPUCWorkerProcess.exe process via Debug -> Attach to Process and activating the feature through Site Actions -> Site Settings.
Thanks, dude!
You've just saved me a lot of time.
How do you do this in a non-dev box?
I've created an event receiver. I log using ULS logger on 'ItemAdded' event handler. Works fantastic in DEV environment. I can see all the logs.
In PROD, I don't see the logs. What could be wrong?
Here you can find some useful VS 2010 extensions that may help debugging event receivers as well. For example menu items and deployment steps to restart OWSTIMER and to attach debugger to OWSTIMER.
Hope it helps.
Unfortunately, there is a lot about what Steve has written which I don't really understand. The first part appears to suggest you can debug a feature receiver by attaching to SharePoint Management Shell and executing Enable-SPFeature to hit a break point in the Feature Activated event. But the second part suggests it actually requires a different approach: "Compile, Deploy, net stop sptimerv4, net start sptimerv4, run my code and hit my breakpoint" – presumably via the F5 key in VS2010. Neither of these approaches worked for me. And I don't really get what the net stop and start commands are for.
In order to operate under the Farm account I've tried to devise a method for debugging a feature receiver using SharePoint Management Shell, rather Visual Studio 2010, to install, deploy, activate and trigger break points in the feature receiver; but only with limited success. When trying to repeat the build, run, test sequence, on second and subsequent times around problems occur when attempting to reactivate the feature via Enable-SPFeature.
For example:
- break occurs in assembly, but source code not found when WS2010 is opened,
- or source code opens in WS2010 automatically, but is an earlier version,
- An error occurs: "Failed to load receiver assembly …etc" even though gacutil.exe –l "solution" shows assembly is actually present in the GAC.
Usually the only way out it to reboot the server – so here's hoping someone can come up with a more rigorous and foolproof method than mine below…
1. Using Visual Studio 2010, build solution then Package to obtain new solution.dll and solution.wsp
… Feature receiver code contains System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() statements
2. Then using SharePoint Management Shell to install, deploy and activate/deactivate the feature:
• Install:
Add-SPSolution –LiteralPath "path\solution.wsp"
… installs solution in SharePoint 2010
• Deploy:
Install-SPSolution –Identity solution.wsp –GACDeployment
…tasklist /m solution.dll - shows it is attached to OWSTIMER.EXE
… gacutil.exe –l "solution" - shows solution.dll is in GAC
• IIS: Iisreset /noforce
• Activate:
Enable-SPFeature "featurename" –URL "url"
… breaks SharePoint Management Shell at System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() in FeatureActivated()
… VS2010 Debug > Terminate-All to stop debugging and close SharePoint Management Shell window- sometimes have to use Task Manager to terminate the shell process
• Deactivate:
Disable-SPFeature "featurename" –URL "url"
… breaks SharePoint Management Shell at System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() in FeatureDeactivating()
Thx, for me that helps, the breakpoints didn`t work at all, but after searchitn around a lot and getting mad about this i handled it by writing everything i need to know into txt files, and with net stop and start the canges will be updated.
Thanks , It helped me when I was trying to debug but was not successing. Service start and stop worked correctly.

been one day since Franklin Buckner walked his son to the front doors of the
Richmond County Sheriff's Office. Buckner's son, Ceon Ulmer was wanted in
connection with a shooting last week in the Augusta Manor apartments in South
Augusta; leaving one man injured. Buckner called Sheriff Richard Roundtree at his home
early Monday morning, telling him his son wanted to turn himself in.
been a lot going on in the Sheriff's department," Buckner said. "I didn't know if I could trust
anyone else with my son. I wanted to make sure my son got there without anybody
trying to hurt my son, so that's why I called Mr. Roundtree."
is the second time this year someone has called the Sheriff's Office with information
leading to the arrest of a violent suspect; the first from an anonymous citizen
who knew a witness to the murder of a man at a South Augusta night club. Edward Yancey, 21, was shot a killed in the parking lot of Club Fiesco on Peach
Orchard Road after a New Year's Eve party. The witness led investigators to
more witnesses, ending in the arrest of Deontre Hubert, 18, who's being
charged with murder.
tips are the building blocks of a new relationship the Sheriff's Office wants with
the public.
want to break down those walls," Sheriff Roundtree said. "We want to regain their trust, if there was a
distrust, and let them know that we're going to be here to serve you."
Roundtree says he wants to become more accessible to the public, hoping more
people will follow suit when it comes to community policing.

serve this community. We want you to be able to call us when you're in need or
you need advice or you need help. That's what we're here for."
And that's what Buckner looks for in law enforcement.
Among his son's charges is aggravated assault. And even though he says he's
upset his son is in jail, he believes he did the right thing.

Category Archives: Trade Rumors
Teams calling the Oilers about Hemsky?
Hemsky, again
It wouldn't be a trade deadline without banter about Ales Hemsky's availability. A year ago the rumors were put to bed when Hemsky signed a two-year, $10 million extension. Now his name is surfacing, although almost it seems out of habit in media commentary as opposed to actual signs that the Oilers are shopping him.
Could Whitney be a good fit on D for B's?
Chiarelli told CSNNE.com last weekend that he's looking for a defenseman as well as a winger to enhance Boston's roster, and a puck-moving left shot blueliner would be at the top of the list. In a perfect world the defenseman would also serve as the power play quarterback that Tomas Kaberle never was two years ago for Boston on its way to the Stanley Cup.
The perfect name at the top of Boston's list would be Swiss defenseman Mark Streit, who is entering the final month of his walk year with the New York Islanders as an offensive defenseman. Those within the Isles organization have sent out of the smoke signals that they're hoping to sign Streit to a contract extension, and they sit only a couple of points out of a playoff spot. Streit has five goals and 16 points along with a minus-14 for the Bruins this season, and six of fellow defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky's nine points this season have been on the power play.
Here's the latest on the Jarome Iginla trade front:
-Calgary GM Jay Feaster is asking for goaltender Malcolm Subban to be part of any package from Boston. Boston GM Peter Chiarelli flatly refuses to include Subban in any package.
Are the Leafs interested in Kipper?
Don't confuse interest with current trade talks or offers. Toronto would like to add a vet goalie. IF Kipper is avail, calls will be made.

Canucks must move Luongo and close the book on this never ending saga.
What the Canucks do have is one too many No. 1 goalies. They will spend the lead-up to April 3 trying to finally close on the long-anticipated Roberto Luongo trade.
It's time to shut the book on a saga that has drifted on way too long. If they can't pull the trigger on a Luongo-for-a-centre deal, consider it a failure for an organization that will have one of its best assets sitting on the bench for every playoff game.
Source: B's target other forwards besides Iginla
Because of all those factors and Iginla's popularity in Calgary, its believed Feaster is seeking two prospects and a first-round pick for a player that's set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. A source indicated to CSNNE.com that the Flames are enamored with Bruins 2012 first-round pick Malcolm Subban as an heir apparent to the aging Miikka Kiprusoff in Calgary.
Given that the Bruins were discussing Alex Khokhlachev with the Dallas Stars in exchange for Morrow, a package of Subban, Khokhlachev and a first-round pick is likely in the neighborhood of what Feaster is seeking for Iginla. That's too rich for Boston's blood for a rental that will play roughly 10 regular season games plus a playoff run, even if Iginla is a veteran superstar hungering for a Cup that could be exactly what the Bruins are looking for.
Oilers can get as much as a second round pick for Nikolai Khabibulin, former GM says.
The Sportsnet panel of Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean, both NHL insiders, weighed in on the Edmonton Oilers possibly trading 40-year-old goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who has a gaudy .927 save percentage in 2013.
"The big guy, obviously, that stands out is Khabibulin," Kypreos said, when assessing Oilers' trade prospects. "You don't want to miss the playoffs and have Khabibulin at the end of the year."
Briere to the Habs for a draft pick
Dreger on TSN radio: Briere to Montreal for a draft pick could happen if Briere is healthy & willing to waive his NTC. #Flyers #Canadiens

Hold on, Pens aren't done dealing
Surely, the Pittsburgh Penguins are done shopping.
Maybe not.
It was certainly assumed by many that the acquisition of winger Brenden Morrow would rule the Pittsburgh Penguins out of the Jarome Iginla bidding.
Not so, a source told ESPN.com Monday.
Players that the Flames could try to pry out of Boston for Iginla
What kind of package it takes to land Iginla remains to be seen, but with longtime backstop Miikka Kiprusoff nearing the end, the Flames would certainly have keen interest in the B's top goalie prospect, Malcolm Subban. Other trade bait could include forwards Alexander Khokhlachev and Ryan Spooner, and defensemen Matt Bartkowski, Torey Krug and David Warsofsky.
Danny Briere, Joy Bouwmeester, Ryan Whitney, Jordan Leopold and more
- With Matt Greene (back) and Willie Mitchell (knee), not returning anytime soon, the Kings are looking for a third-pairing defensive defenceman. The Sabres' unrestricted free agent Robyn Regehr, who played for Darryl Sutter in Calgary, would be ideal. He'd probably cost them a second-round pick. Buffalo also has unrestricted free-agent Jordan Leopold. Leopold and Regehr were partners on the 2004 Stanley Cup finalist Calgary roster. I suppose Sutter might like Calgary's Cory Sarich, too, but he has another year left on his contract. Calgary GM Jay Feaster sent a Fax to every team saying Sarich is available.
Anton Babchuk and Cory Sarich are available
Just told Flames GM Jay Feaster sent an email to 29 GMs informing Anton Babchuk and Cory Sarich are available. Both have NTCs.

Bruins continue to look for help
Bruins need help
Even before the Bruins lost two regulars — Chris Kelly (broken foot) and Adam McQuaid (shoulder injury) — for the rest of the regular season, they were looking for help.
Bruce Garrioch lists tons of players available in the West.
NHL trade deadline primer: Western Conference
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS: Since GM Scott Howson was fired, the Jackets have gone on a pretty good run. President John Davidson has said publicly nobody is off limits, but they've remained in the hunt. Names available include D Adrian Aucoin, C Derek Brassard and C Vinny Prospal.
DALLAS STARS: There is a lot of heat on GM Joe Nieuwendyk. He hasn't made a good trade since he took over and any move he makes now is pivotal. Lots of teams are interested in C Derek Roy, RW Jaromir Jagr, C Ray Whitney and LW Brendan Morrow. Are the Stars ready to throw in the towel? Could be it for Nieuwendyk.
DETROIT RED WINGS: The Wings would have been upset to see Perry re-sign with the Ducks. They were prepared to make a big pitch in July. They have depth, but the Wings need to get a star. That's not going to happen at this deadline because they aren't just one player away from a Cup run.
EDMONTON OILERS: GM Steve Tambellini has a decision to make: Does he buy or sell? The Oilers have a shot at the playoffs, but can they stay there? None of the young players are available so no need for teams to ask. D Ryan Whitney is available and so is C Sam Gagner, who could fetch help.
Morrow traded to the Penguins
The Penguins and Dallas Stars have a trade in place that would see veteran forward Brenden Morrow headed to Pittsburgh in exchange for a package that would include defenceman Joe Morrow, according to sources.
The deal, however, hinges on Brenden Morrow waiving his no trade clause.
Are Salo, Brewer and Malone available?
Contrary to what many want to think or believe, I don't see Marty St. Louis asking to be moved. He has two more years on his contract after this season, even if the Lightning are in the middle of a transitional phase for the franchise. And I have to believe he will retire as a member of the franchise he has been with for a decade and has a job in this organization for life should he want it.
Perhaps Ryan Malone would be somebody teams take a look at, but his left shoulder injury might prevent that from happening. Maybe veteran defenseman Sami Salo, who signed a two-year deal, but he was brought in for experience, something the blue line would be lacking next season if he was to be moved. Salo also has a modified no movement clause.
Pens, Bruins, Hawks and Kings on Iginla's list
As the April 3 NHL trade deadline approaches, speculation continues to swirl around Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla.
Will the Stars shop Eriksson as well as Jagr, Morrow, Roy and Nystrom?
The question isn't whether perpetual bubble team Dallas will make rentals Jaromir Jagr (who leads the team in scoring), Brenden Morrow, Derek Roy and Eric Nystrom available, the question is whether the Stars will begin a meaningful overhaul by dangling Loui Eriksson?
Because if they do, the Rangers would be mighty interested.
A look at the NHL's East heading into the trade deadline
GM Peter Chiarelli likes to get ahead of the pack, but that has proven difficult this year. The Bruins have cap room and Chiarelli wants to bring in an impact forward to help the power play. He'll go after either Dallas winger Brenden Morrow or Calgary captain Jarome Iginla. It will be costly, though.
What the Leafs, Caps and Jets teams could do at the Trade Deadline
Toronto Maple Leafs: The Leafs are in the market for a center and possibly a defensemen. It's possible they won't have to add on defense if Jake Gardiner proves he can stick around this time and make a difference. But the Leafs definitely are thin at center and could use help there, especially if they want to get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2004. One name being floated in Toronto is Mike Ribeiro, but it's not clear what the Washington Capitals want to do with him. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Republican Senate candidate Wil Cardon is challenging GOP rival Jeff Flake to join him in an "Arizona First Pledge" to discourage outside groups and political action committees from interfering in the state's primary campaign.
"A U.S. Senate seat is rarely open in Arizona," Cardon wrote Flake in a letter dated Friday. "We owe it to the voters of our great state to ensure this is a fair, honest and issues-based race. I am proposing to you today to uphold the Arizona First Pledge and ask you to fight with me against the use of outside groups. This is about the next generation, Jeff, and I hope you will join me in this pledge for a better Arizona."
Cardon operatives hand-delivered a copy of Cardon's letter to Flake campaign headquarters on Friday. Andrew Wilder, a Flake spokesman, declined to comment on Cardon's offer. (Wilder responded on Monday. See the update below.)
Cardon's letter suggests that he got the idea from a similar pact made between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren, the two combatants in Massachusetts' high-profile Senate race this year. Central to Cardon's pledge is a proposed joint "public call to all outside groups and PACs that are considering interfering in our race to stop now." Cardon, a wealthy Mesa investor and businessman, also wants both candidates to agree to pay a penalty of 50 percent of the cost of an outside group's advertising to the charity of his opponent's choice.
"Together we can take a step to rid Arizona of the influence of destructive, outside political influences and the negativity as we have all seen in recent races," Cardon wrote.
Cardon's letter doesn't mention any outside groups by name, but the Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative national organization, strongly supports Flake, a six-term congressman, and is known to spend money to influence Republican primary elections.
Katie Martin, a Cardon campaign spokeswoman, said the pledge isn't aimed at any specific group and would apply equally to any independent Super PACs, including locally based ones, that would back Cardon. "I have zero knowledge of any Super PAC in regards to the Cardon campaign," she said. "If there is such a group out there, Wil Cardon will stand by his Arizona First Pledge."
Martin continued: "Wil Cardon wants this to be an issue based campaign and not a campaign polluted by outside special interest groups and Super PACs. Arizona voters deserve to have a fair and equal opportunity to vote for their next U.S. senator based on the issues. The only way to ensure this race is fair and balanced is for Congressman Flake to join Wil Cardon in his public call against these groups and to join Wil's pledge to put Arizona first."
Three other candidates are contending for the Republican Senate nomination: former Youngtown Mayor Bryan Hackbarth, conservative radio host Clair "Van" Van Steenwyk and "tea party" activist John Lyon.
Wilder e-mailed this response on Monday morning: "First, Wil Cardon needs to stop illegally funding his campaign before making pledges, but second, we will urge no outside spending as soon as he stops trying to buy this race with his inheritance." Regarding the funding, Wilder is referring to a complaint that was filed against Cardon with the Federal Election Commission in January. The Cardon campaign maintains the complaint is frivolous and politically motivated and that Cardon did nothing wrong.
Martin of the Cardon campaign responds to Wilder's response:
"Congressman Jeff Flake once again shows what a career politician he has become. This election should be about what the people of Arizona want and not about a bunch of Congressman Flake's D.C. big money cronies. These are the same D.C. cronies that have landed Congressman Flake with a FEC complaint for suspected illegal foul play with regards to their coordination in bundling money to the Congressman's U.S. Senate campaign. Link to complaint: http://tiny.cc/3kgtcw
"Congressman Jeff Flake's continued refusal to sign this pledge again shows how out of touch he is with Arizona. Whether it's his support of amnesty, cap and trade legislation, taxpayer perks or his D.C. insider status, it's crystal clear that he doesn't understand the problems Arizonans face and is willing to sell their vote to the highest bidder. Arizonans still want to know will Congressman Flake do what is right and join Wil Cardon in taking the Arizona First Pledge."

As with all the entries in the ongoing budget-priced Extended Versions series, the 2007 Alice Cooper edition is comprised of tracks that have been previously issued. In fact, most of these tracks can be pinpointed to 1995's Classicks (which in turn was comprised of tracks from Alice's 1989 tour in support of Trash). So, what you get here is a "best-of" set list for the most part -- during arguably Alice's most straight-ahead "heavy metal-esque" period. Featured are standard run-throughs of such classics as "I'm Eighteen," "Under My Wheels," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Welcome to My Nightmare," and, of course, a set-closing rendition of "School's Out." But also included are late-'80s stabs at mainstream rock like the hit single "Poison," as well as "Bed of Nails" and "House of Fire" (the latter of which saw Joan Jett get a co-songwriting credit). For an affordable taster of live '80s-era Alice, Extended Versions should certainly satisfy. Greg Prato, Rovi

so... i have some serious feminist objections to this book and YET... i really enjoyed the series. there is some really great, creative mythology here, but you do have to wade through some distasteful prostitution/sexual slavery/bdsm sex as well. oh, and some really florid prose. read at your own risk. :)
Kushiel's Dart. First in the Kushiel's Legacy series.
J.R.Ward - The Black Dagger Brotherhood. Dark Lover is the first in the dark, sexy series of vampire warriors.
Who would have thought the KC library would be recommending some racy reading. I like it.

A nice gift item especially if you have someone who is interested in making films or videos,
I expected this to be light weight, and it was cheaper than ******. I got this for my Dad for Father's Day, as a photographer he carries a camera everywhere he goes. It only makes sense that he'd have a coffee mug that looks like a lens and would fool people into thinking that he drinks his beverages from one of them. LOL
It's a gift for a amateur photography friend. They love it!
Perfect gift for father in law who is a photographer.
It holds 12 ounces just enough for the travel to work and the looks are fantastic almost looks like a camera lens. Have to look at the name on cap to be sure
I purchased this mug as a gift for my girlfriend who is a huge photography person. She absolutely loved it. It works very well and keeps drinks hot for a long time! It is pretty simple to use and very sturdy.

About Us
The Global Center for Security Cooperation (GCSC) centralizes the management oversight of International Education providers and allows asset visibility for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and associated organizations.
The Global Center for Security Cooperation organizes and manages a consortium of the Defense Department's International Partner Education providers in order to coordinate, integrate and deconflict their efforts, to enhance OSD policy dissemination, and to increase awareness of DoD partner nation education and training resources, consistent with OSD priorities.
The GCSC was formalized on October 6, 2006 as an OSD entity under the Executive Agency of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), and formally opened as an operating entity with a staff of four personnel on 1 October 2007. The Center was established in response to DoD's challenge to develop more efficient means for OSD policy dissemination and provide greater awareness of DoD international education and training providers. The GCSC is an OSD tenant activity located at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) with NPS providing administrative and base operations support.
The Global Center supports and coordinates the activities of 23 members of the Global Center consortium. The GCSC maintains a Common Operating Picture for these institutes by providing a consolidated events calendar, course descriptions, reporting functions, and databases of Subject Matter Experts and lessons learned & best practices. All of these functions are available through a password-protected internet site, using the Regional International Outreach (RIO) system.

By M. S. BEDINGER, F. J. PEARSON, JR., J. E. REED, R. T. SNIEGOCKI, and C. G. STONE
The 47 hot springs of Hot Springs National Park, Ark., issue from the plunging crestline of a large overturned anticline, along the southern margin of the Ouachita anticlinorium, in the Zigzag Mountains. Rocks in the vicinity of the hot springs range in age from Ordovician to Mississippian. The rockscherts, novaculites, sandstones, and shalesare well indurated, folded, faulted, and jointed. The springs emerge from the Hot Springs Sandstone Member of the Stanley Shale near the anticlinal axis, between the traces of two thrust faults that are parallel to the axis of the anticline.
The combined flow of the hot springs ranges from 750,000 to 950,000 gallons per day (3.29x10-2 to 4.16x10-2 cubic meters per second). The flow of the springs is highest in the winter and spring and is lowest in the summer and fall. The temperature of the combined hot-springs waters is about 62 degrees Celsius.
The radioactivity and chemical composition of the hot-water springs are similar to that of the cold-water springs and wells in the area. The dissolved-solids concentrations of the waters in the area generally range from 175 to 200 milligrams per liter. The main differences in the quality of the hot water, compared with nearby cold ground waters, are the higher temperatures and the higher silica concentrations of the hot springs. Cold waters in the area generally range from 15.0 to 26.8 degrees Celsius. The silica concentrations of cold ground waters range from 2.6 to 13.0 milligrams per liter, whereas the silica concentration of the hot springs is about 42 milligrams per liter. The high silica concentration of the hot springs is due to the increased solubility of silica in hot water. The silica concentration of the hot springs indicates that the maximum temperature reached by the hot-springs water is no more than a few degrees higher than the temperature at which the springs emerge.
The tritium and carbon-14 analyses of the water indicate that the water is a mixture of a very small amount of water less than 20 years old and a preponderance of water about 4,400 years old. The deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations of the hot-springs waters are not significantly different from those of the cold ground waters.
The presence of radium and radon in the hot-springs waters has been established by analyses. Recent (1973) analysis showed the radium concentration to be 2.1 picocuries (10-12 curies) per liter. Analyses made in 1953 of the radon gas, a radioactive decay product of radium, ranged from 0.14 to 30.5 nanocuries (10-9 curies) per liter.
Mathematical models were employed to test various conceptual models of the hot-springs flow system. The geochemical data, flow measurements, and geologic structure of the region support the concept that virtually all the hot-springs water is of local, meteoric origin. Recharge to the hot-springs artesian-flow system is by infiltration of rainfall in the outcrop areas of the Bigfork Chert and the Arkansas Novaculite. The water moves slowly to depth where it is heated by contact with rocks of high temperature. Highly permeable zones, related to jointing or faulting, collect the heated water in the aquifer and provide avenues for the water to travel rapidly to the surface.

Some first-time voters in Dubuque faced a challenge Tuesday night when trying to cast their ballots.
At Dubuque's ninth and tenth precincts' polling place at Westminster Presbyterian Church, hundreds of students came out to cast a vote for the first time in their lives. The two precincts encompass the city's three major colleges: University of Dubuque, Loras College and Clarke University.
21-year-old Delaney Ludwig, a senior at Loras College, did not get to vote.
"I'm a little upset," she said. "I know that it's, you know, my fault that I waited until last minute to register and everything like that and especially with it so hard out of state."
She, like many Dubuque students, is from out of state and also tried registering to vote on Election Day.
According to Iowa code, students in her situation must present to election officials a valid photo ID such as a driver's license plus proof of residency, which could be a formally addressed piece of mail such as a bank statement or utility bill.
"I had two payroll stubs...and then a letter that someone sent me with my address here for the school mailbox," Ludwig said, describing what she brought to the polling site on Tuesday. "I thought out of those three things, something would have to work to prove that I was living here at Loras, or in Dubuque as a Loras student."
Those pieces of mail, however, were not valid. The stubs had her Illinois address and the letter's address was handwritten. Ludwig said all the mail she had was no more official than that.
"I explained that we don't get any utility bills and stuff, since it's Loras-owned apartments and we live on campus," Ludwig said, "so we wouldn't have any access, especially the day of."
Iowa code allows, instead of a piece of mail, a voter registered in the same precinct to vouch for the registrant, saying he or she does, indeed, live in that precinct. Ludwig, however, couldn't find such a person at short notice.
Dubuque County auditor Denise Dolan said the proof of residency requirements end up disenfranchising some students.
"If they're in a dorm, they're not having utilities. Their cell phones are probably still paid for by their folks and going to their home address and that kind of stuff, so it's really hard for them to come up with that second piece of identification," she said. "I've encouraged other students that I've talked to, to take this on to the Legislature and say, 'You're disenfranchising us and, you know, there needs to be some accommodation for students who live in the dorms.'"
Ludwig and others like her should have been able to cast a provisional ballot, Dolan said. Those weren't counted Tuesday night but will be reviewed on Friday at 10 a.m. People who cast provisional ballots have until then to provide proof of voter eligibility to the county auditor's office. That's on the fourth floor of the Dubuque County Courthouse.
On Tuesday night, election officials at the tenth precinct said they were swamped with voters all day, many of whom were students.
A group of Republican poll watchers camped out at the polling site to ensure students like Ludwig used proper ID. A group of Democratic poll watchers were there, too, to help fight any unnecessary barriers to voting.
Between its more than 30 precincts, Dubuque County had approximately 150 provisional ballots.
There's no way of knowing just how many students left without casting any vote at all.

Fatal Accident in Clay County
Date of News Release: 06/09/2008
(Manchester, KY) - On June 8, 2008, at 2:20 PM EDT Kentucky State Police Post 11 in London was notified of a traffic accident with injuries 6 miles East of Manchester on the Hal Rogers Parkway.
When Trooper Jeff Senters arrived he found three injured victims. The preliminary investigation shows that a 1998 Ford Windstar van, operated by Christopher E. Burke, 33 years of age of Prestonsburg, KY, was eastbound on the parkway 6 miles East of Manchester. Mr. Burke lost control of his van and ran off the shoulder of the road and struck a guardrail. He then attempted to regain control of his vehicle and skidded back into the path of a 2003 Chevy Tracker traveling west, operated by Kaitlin Miller. Ms. Miller, 20 years of age of Medina, NY, attempted to avoid the van, but struck it in the right side causing both vehicles to spin coming to rest in the roadway. Both drivers as well as Frances James, 20 years of age of Bolton, MA, a passenger in the Tracker, were airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. Mr. Burke was pronounced dead by the Fayette County Coroners office at 8:29 PM. The accident is under investigation by Tpr. Jeff Senters and Tpr. Steve Smallwood. They were assisted at the scene by Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement, the Manchester Police Department, the Clay County Sheriff's Department, Manchester and Big Creek Fire Departments and the Clay County Ambulance Service.

With motorcycle accidents on the raise, some being fatal and some leaving riders with serious injuries have brought a new non-profit organization to the Hub City to help raise awareness and money for those impacted by motorcycle accident.
The Fallen Riders Memorial Fund that helps families that are impacted by the loss of a loved one in motorcycle accident. The origins of the charity are in Ohio, and Lubbock with the first city in the state of Texas that organization has rooted its chapter.
On Sunday, the group held a biker appreciation day to introduce their mission to the community. "When a motorcyclist is killed in Lubbock, we serve 9 counties, we will be able to step up and help their families" says Chelsea Holloway who is a representative of the organization.
To help boost awareness, Mayor Tom Martin will sign a proclamation declaring the month of May as Motorcycle Safety and Awareness month in Lubbock.

text: WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama holds his first meeting with a privacy and civil liberties board Friday as part of his response to revelations about secret government surveillance programs. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board is a little-known federal oversight organization. Obama says the board will play a key role in addressing the public's concerns about the government's sweeping collection of phone and Internet records. Obama is also considering declassifying more details about the data-mining. He has tasked the director of national intelligence with reviewing a secret federal intelligence court's opinions and filings relevant to the programs to determine whether additional information can be made public. The government already has lifted some of secrecy surrounding the programs following disclosures about their existence by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.
