Johns Hopkins History
Over a century ago, the Quaker merchant Johns Hopkins did more than provide in his will for the construction of a university, a hospital and a medical school. He provided a vision of a unique university-based health center, one with a vital mission: to create a learning, training and caring environment where the quest for new knowledge would continuously yield more effective and compassionate care for all. Today, after a century of progress that even its founder could not have envisioned, the quest for new knowledge leading to better health care remains the defining mission of Johns Hopkins Medicine. The original faculty of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, including such pioneers of modern medicine as William H. Welch, William S. Halsted, William Osler and Howard A. Kelly, created a revolutionary new medical curriculum that integrated a rigorous program of basic science education with intensive clinical mentoring. With the opening of The Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889, followed four years later by the School of Medicine, these founding physicians ushered in a new era in medical education marked by rigid entrance requirements for students, a vastly upgraded curriculum with emphasis on the scientific method, the incorporation of bedside teaching and laboratory research as part of the instruction, and integration of the School of Medicine with the Hospital through joint appointments.
Hopkins' Firsts
William S. Halsted, M.D., performs an operation in Hopkins' first operating room with the aid of handpicked star residents. Johns Hopkins, counted many "firsts" among its achievements during its early years: the first major medical school in the United States to admit women; pioneer in the use of rubber gloves during surgery; and the first to conceptualize renal dialysis.
Other accomplishments include the discovery of vitamin D, the identification of the three types of polio virus, development of CPR and the first "blue baby" operation, which opened the way to modern heart surgery. Hopkins also was the birthplace of many specialties, including neurosurgery, urology, endocrinology and pediatrics. The William H. Welch Medical Library, which is located on Hopkins' 44-acre campus in Baltimore, Maryland, is one of the largest medical libraries in the country. The library houses the medical literature in all fields of teaching, patient care and research represented at Johns Hopkins, and contains more than 370,000 bound volumes and an extensive audiovisual collection. Hopkins' historic domed administration building, named for John Shaw Billings, the physician administrator who was the intellectual architect of the original Hospital, stands as a familiar image of Johns Hopkins Medicine. It is a symbol of the many people working daily to provide the best possible care to patients, to train tomorrow's physicians and to challenge the frontiers of science through research.
Department of Surgery History
William S. Halsted, M.D. When The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened, a young surgeon from New York, William S. Halsted, M.D., was chosen as the first Surgeon-in-Chief, Halsted laid the foundation for surgical training as we now know it in the United States. In an address on the "Training of the Surgeon" presented at Yale in 1904, Halsted said,
"We need a system and we will surely have it - which will produce not only surgeons, but surgeons of the highest type, who will stimulate the finest youths of their country to study surgery, and to devote their energies and their lives to raising the standards of surgical science."
Halsted founded a residency training program that dramatically changed the way in which surgeons were trained. Before Halsted, surgical training was a haphazard series of preceptorships without a definite end. Halsted believed that surgical training should be accomplished in a set period of time, have a progressive increase in responsibility and operative experience, and have a final period of independent activity. These important principles have been maintained at Johns Hopkins despite recent pressures to eliminate independent activity. Today, the following departments and their respective surgeons-in-chief comprise the Section of Surgical Sciences which is under the direction of Richard Schulick, M.D.

Disappointing. Very dry. Won't make it again.
Two-Step Fresh Peach Pound Cake
Photo: Hector Sanchez; Stylist: Buffy Hargett
Turn out a high-rise cake with a moist, tender crumb by layering the ingredients in the bowl in the order specified. Don't have a stand mixer with a 4-qt. bowl and paddle attachment? Prep the batter in the traditional way.
Yield: Makes 10 to 12 servings
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups sugar
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup peach schnapps
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups diced fresh peaches
- 1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place flour, sugar, butter, milk, peach schnapps, eggs, and vanilla (in that order) in 4-qt. bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Beat at low speed 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in peaches. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch (16-cup) tube pan.
- 2. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool completely (about 1 hour).

It's interesting to see the grain silo components. I used to volunteer with a straw bale construction company, and they frequently built round or octagonal houses using pre-fab silo roofs. It's interesting to see how other people are using these cheap, sturdy building systems.
Did anyone else think most of the Edwardian bathrooms were AWFUL?
LOVE the grain silo house. Gorgeous proportions. perfect materials and siting, and a fun contrast between shapes. Beautifully executed and to me it has some Robert Venturi spirit in it.
Is it just me, or is that Hamptons Showhouse at the end of the line on the train to Dullsville? YAWN! The photos from years past were so much more creative, invigorating, and inviting.
Whoa, I almost had an anxiety attack when I saw that bathroom. mollybb, I completely agree.
My parents are the same age as Gladstone, and I'm hoping they are as adventurous and uncomplicated in what they seek when they build their next house--and as committed as he is to excellent design. Beautiful place, congratulaltions!

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley said that the Baltimore Ravens wouldn't win a Super Bowl "in this lifetime." Partially because Woodley felt the Ravens could never get past their division rival the Steelers, who have played in 3 Super Bowls in the past decade.
"I don't take it back at all," Woodley said when asked by Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "As a player on any team, you're never going to say your rival is going to win the Super Bowl. That's knocking you out of the tournament that year. Somebody on their team pretty sure would say that as well. That's the nature of what it is. A lot of people don't understand. They're going to take it the way they want to take it."
Woodley's Steelers didn't even make the playoffs and have a chance to stop the Ravens. And really Lamarr Woodley said this before the "not gonna happen in this lifetime part."
"No, not at all because they have to go through one team — that's the Pittsburgh Steelers in that AFC championship. So in order for them to get to the Super Bowl, they have to beat us, and we're not gonna let that happen once we get that close."
But the Ravens did have to go through Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. So it isn't like they waltzed in.

So, there is an outside possibility that mass tablet deployment may happen here at some point, so I want to start getting my head around it properly.
Things that I'd want to look at:
1. Internet connectivity
2. Onsite proxying
Potentially, it'd be about 600 devices connected around the school. We already have a Ruckus wireless system in place, which we would upgrade and scale up (we have 13 APs across the site on a 1000 series controller). I'd want to at least double that, possibly triple.
We have a 100Mbit internet connection via our LEA which goes via SWGfL. I'd not want to stay with them to be honest. Yes, they work out quite cheap for us at the moment, but they lack flexibility. We also run a TMG proxy onsite, but this is soon going to be no use to us.
So, we would need to replace/scale our net connection, and provide adequate filtering/proxying for it.
How large a connection would people recommend for 600 devices that are more than likely going to nearly always be in use? And for filtering?

Game Changers
10 pioneering cars that revolutionized the automotive art.
Like the overused example of sliced bread having revolutionized the food industry, there will always be certain products that write a new chapter in their respective history books, or at least that rewrite an existing chapter. This applies to the auto industry as well, with landmark vehicles coming along every few years to keep things fresh and interesting. Practically every automotive trend or technology can ultimately be traced back to a single pioneering vehicle. In recognition of this, we have compiled a list of 10 of our favorite game changers from the past 25 years. Selected for various reasons, these examples range from quirky econoboxes to lustworthy supercars.
For decades now, BMW has been lauded for its ability to create sport sedans and sport coupes. They combine the fun of a sports car with the comfort and convenience of a luxury tourer. No model typified this better than the original M3, which hit the pavement in 1987. It was BMW Motorsports' take on the popular 3-Series coupe, which was heavily modified in-house and featured a wide-body design and a screaming 192-horsepower 4-cylinder race engine with four individual throttle bodies — a technology practically unheard of in production cars, even today — for maximum response and power. The M3 paved the way for all sport coupes to follow.
Compare: BMW M3 vs. Audi S5 vs. Lexus IS F
1988 Honda Civic CRX Si
The 1988-to-1991 CRX Si was an amazing car, a driver's delight. But that's not why it's on this list. The CRX Si started the import tuner movement. This little 1-ton titan and its 1.6-liter 108-horsepower engine oozed simplicity and entertainment, inspiring countless gearheads to park their muscle cars and see what they could muster out of tiny 4-bangers instead. Now, years later, it's nearly impossible to find a Honda — let alone a CRX — that hasn't been "customized."
Compare: Honda Civic vs. Ford Focus vs. Toyota Corolla
1990 Lexus LS 400
While Honda was rethinking the supercar with its NSX, Toyota was busy doing the same for the luxury car with its flagship LS 400, the first vehicle produced by its all-new Lexus division. Developed from the ground up and intended to prove that Japan could top the best vehicles Europe could muster, the 1990 LS 400 shocked the world by actually pulling it off in many significant aspects. The resulting car was a quiet, refined, reliable and economical sedan packing a 250-horsepower V8 engine and more standard gadgets than the competition could hope to offer.

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata
The classic British roadster was simultaneously cherished and despised by vintage-car enthusiasts. Those tiny, lightweight drop-tops were a hoot to drive, but a nightmare to own — so much so that the entire category fell into obscurity in the 1980s. When Mazda claimed it was possible to re-create the roadster's good aspects and avoid the bad, the response was skeptical excitement. The resulting 1990 Miata, with its $14,000 price tag and responsive 115-horsepower engine, blew away even the most optimistic predictions. It was immediately adored by car lovers and commuters alike. It has since become the best-selling sports car in history.

1991 Ford Explorer
The next time you're on the road, take a look at the vehicles in front of, beside and behind you. See anything in common? Well, the reason they're all SUVs is largely because of the 1991 Ford Explorer. While it was far from the first sport-ute on the market, it was the first to invade suburbia in a big way, deliberately catering to soccer moms and salarymen instead of rugged off-roaders. Although it could still handle things quite well when the going got rough, the Explorer was truly the first sport family vehicle.
Must-See on MSN
Another steaming pile of rubbage perfumed over to smell something like intelligent journalism. The Ford Explorer over the Jeep Cherokee? Where is the the Grandfather of man vans, the Dodge Caravan? It was Lee Iacocca that put the first and still finest minivans on the road. Those vehicles are game changers!!! The Honda CRX Si as the start of tuners? I believe Carrol Shelby started the tuner market with his 1700 lbs of fury called the GLH in 1984!!! It set the bar for 4 banger performance and truly started the revolution!!!

Both Briggs and Hess were issued appearance tickets returnable in Village of Stamford Justice Court on Dec. 17.
The Delaware County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a fatal motor vehicle accident on Saturday on New York state Route 10 in the Town of Walton located near what is locally known as Ice House turn.

The vehicle's engine compartment then caught fire.

Bank Closing Information – March 19, 2010
These links contain useful information for the customers and vendors of these closed banks.
American National Bank, Parma, OH
Seven banks failed last night.
Lets go to the closing numbers on gold and silver:
RG sent this note to the CFTC:
Subject: Fw: Price Plunge orchestrated from the dumping of 6,000 sell orders
Inquiring with my broker as to what initiated today's almost instantaneous $20 plunge in the price of Gold, he said that one of the Bullion Banks had reputably dumped 6000 sell orders onto the Comex!..
If correct, this is an enormous single sell order and difficult to see as for any other purpose than manipulation in order to lower prices!.. After all there is no way any seller could hope to maximize his price by selling in such a manner!..
I can't help but feel this is something to do with the fact that there's some 50,000 April call and put options due to expire a week today, within the $1,100-$1,150 strike range,.. With contracts equating to the equivalent of circa 160 tonnes of gold at stake, there is a serious interest from a major short or two in seeing the price down below $1,100!..
What a circus the Futures Market has become,.. Please, please, please will the CFTC get a grip of this, as it's inevitable outing sometime in the future will make liable fools of all those who were in the knowledge but did nothing to arrest the irregular,..
Any individual stopped out or panicked to sell from today's orchestrated price plunge has been robbed in the same way as a woman mugged of her purse by a crack addict,.. The only difference is that when caught the crack addict must contemplate the error of his ways from a prison cell, whilst a banker does it from the confines of his New York Mansion!..
Yours faithfully,..
Richard Guthrie
The open interest on the gold comex rose by 2590 contracts to 499,239. The silver comex OI also advanced rising by 1043 to 114,132.
It seems whenever the OI rises close to 500,000, the trigger is set for the raid. The increase of in the money options certainly caused our banking cartel into action
and supplying the massive paper comex gold short.
The COT report was released after the market closed and it was quite revealing:
The gold COT report showed:
*The larges specs reduced longs by 1,803 contracts and increased shorts by 6,045.
*The commercials decreased longs by 3,127 contracts and decreased shorts by 12,619.
*The small specs decreased longs by 671 contracts and increased shorts by 973.
notes: as of last Tuesday, the longs decided to rest a bit and not enter the fray. For some unknown reason, the commercials
decided to decrease some of their long holdings by 3127 contracts and they certainly covered quite a few shorts to the tune of 12,619
the small specs are out of business at the comex.
OK lets see silver:

There were 79 delivery notices issued in the MAR silver contract. The total delivery notices for the month in silver stand at 3,893 or 19.5 Mozs. Bank of Nova Scotia issued 65 and stopped 25, while JPM issued 10 and stopped 39.
There were 76 delivery notices issued in the MAR gold contract. The MAR gold contract total for the month is 584 notices or 58,400 ozs. Bank of Nova Scotia issued 15 and stopped 54, while JPM issued 28 and stopped none.
in silver, the open OI declined by 2 contracts to stand at 329 contracts.
Note 5: thus in silver, the amount of silver left to be served equals 329 x 5000 oz equals 1.645 million oz.
Note 6: the total number of oz of silver standing for the march delivery season is: 1.645 million + 4.6 million (Feb options exercised for silver, delivery in March) + 19.5 million = 25.75 million oz
a little more than Thursday.
and now what is left in gold?
The open interest in the MAR gold contract remained at 86 contracts,
Note 7: the number of oz left to served in gold stands at 8600 oz. Add this to the 58,400 and we get 67,000 or 2.16 tonnes. This amount also increased from yesterday.
Summary: the number of oz of gold and silver metal standing are increasing. The number of oz of gold and silver leaving the dealer inventories are surprisingly small for this time of the delivery
month in silver. Somebody is very interested in obtaining physical metals in a hurry.
Lets go to other economic stories of the day:
This news hit the wires early and caused some concern with equity holders:
Unemployment soars in U.S. metropolitan areas WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - Unemployment rates in 363 U.S. metropolitan areas rose in January, and 346 areas reported year-on-year declines in their number of jobs, the Labor Department said on Friday.
Nearly 200 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10 percent in January, showing that unemployment problems persist at the local level.
California has been especially hard hit during the recession that began in late 2007, and the Labor Department data showed the state's jobs situation continues to deteriorate, with an overall unemployment rate of 12.5 percent in January.
The three areas with the highest jobless rates in the country, all above 20 percent, were all located in California, the most populous U.S. state.
The Riverside and San Bernardino area of Southern California, along with Detroit-Warren-Livonia in Michigan had the highest unemployment rates for areas with populations of 1 million or more. While Detroit has been hurt by fluctuations in the automobile industry, Southern California has suffered mostly from the bursting of the housing bubble.
The sprawling California metropolis by the ocean formed by Los Angeles, Long Beach and Santa Ana, meanwhile, lost the most jobs over the year, at 248,600...
Late in the day, the following shook the street pretty hard:

The inability of the eurozone to put together a viable package after a month of talks has dismayed markets, which thought the terms of a deal had already been agreed. Yields on 10-year Greek bonds spiked 17 basis points yesterday to 6.26pc. The euro fell two cents against the dollar to below $1.36. "The facade of unity among eurozone members hardly held for more than a day," said Beat Siegenthaler from UBS.
Greek Premier George Papandreou told the European Parliament that his country was running out of patience. It is in effect already subject to the full rigours of an IMF-style austerity plan but without enjoying any of the benefits. He said the savings from cost-cutting measures were vanishing into the pockets of bond-holders through higher interest rates.
We have the worst of the IMF and none of the advantages. This is where
"I prefer a European solution as part of the eurozone, to show the world that
"Papandreou is playing poker," said Silvio Peruzzi from RBS. The defiant tone leaves no doubt that this escalating game of brinkmanship has turned deadly serious. If Mr Papandreou is bluffing, his bluff is likely to be called since a German-led bloc of states is also warming to the IMF be the best way after all to maintain EMU discipline.

The Fed was not happy with this court result
Federal Reserve Must Disclose Bank Bailout Records
........March 19 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve Board must disclose documents identifying financial firms that might have collapsed without the largest ever U.S. government bailout, a federal appeals court said.The U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled today that the Fed must release records of the unprecedented $2 trillion U.S. loan program launched primarily after the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The ruling upholds a decision of a lower-court judge, who in August ordered that the information be released.The Fed had argued that it could withhold the information under an exemption that allows federal agencies to refuse disclosure of "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential."
The U.S. Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, "sets forth no basis for the exemption the Board asks us to read into it," U.S. Circuit Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs wrote in the opinion. "If the Board believes such an exemption would better serve the national interest, it should ask Congress to amend the statute."The opinion may not be the final word in the bid for the documents, which was launched by Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, with a November 2008 lawsuit. The Fed may seek a rehearing or appeal to the full appeals court and eventually petition the U.S. Supreme Court…http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a2rzjENZQV5k-END-
The King report has come out with news that the Fed is increasing its balance sheet. The numbers usually increase at expiration of options week.
The Fed;'s balance sheet has now expanded to 2.29 trillion dollars and all the excess is buying the garbage from the banks. The Fed is also using taxpayer money and paying interest to
the banks for this worthless paper. The Fed issues freshly minted dollar bills to our friendly bankers, who use this money in the corrupted trades whether it is in derivatives or the futures market/
One thing I can assure you: they are not lending as the Fed's excess reserves climbs above 1.3 trillion dollars. From the King report:
From The King Report…
Since July, we have noted monthly that Bennie Mae tends to contract the Fed balance sheet except during expiration week. Then Ben pours in the juice during expiration week.
There has been little movement in the Fed balance sheet over the past three weeks. But for the week ended on Wednesday, Bennie Mae poured $25.536B into the system on the monetization of $37.268B of MBS. The Fed sold $1.523B of agency debt. The Fed balance sheet is now a record $2.29 trillion. http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/Current/
It cannot be a coincidence that for every expiration week since the June expiration, Ben has poured huge amounts of credit into the system. This is a blatant attempt to juice stocks higher.
Commercial Paper declined $22.4B last week. Companies do not yet see a lasting economic rebound.
One reason for the lack of institutional participation in the stock market is confusion over the US economy now and its outlook for the second half of 2010.
Rail traffic is doing better than 2009 but is greatly below 2008 levels. Autos sales jumped in March; but home sales have retreated and foreclosures are set to increase significantly.
Fannie as Bearish as MBA on Production Forecast
The first two months of the year have been weak in terms of loan applications and a new forecast from Fannie Mae suggests that 2010 will result in just $1.32 trillion in residential loans being funded this year.
If Fannie's forecast becomes reality, that means loan volume will be down 31% this year compared to 2009. Fannie's forecast is slightly more bearish than a recent one issued by the Mortgage Bankers Association that sees production coming in at $1.33 trillion this year.
Mark Hanson: I still don't think investors and the media have grasped the variety of consequences that a near 50% YoY drop in mortgage volume in 2010 will bring. Just think about all the lost jobs and income or how many times 'mortgage banking revenue' has driven bank earnings. Mortgage loan volume dropping by 50% YoY can't be what the 'normalized earnings' crowd has plugged into their models..
This came late in the day, Latvia Government collapses. I can assure you that Swedish banks are very concerned as they have the greatest number of loans to the Baltic nations.

Here is a commentary by Bill Holter on the Repo 105 rule which is making headlines throughout the world:
The "West" killed itself with fraud.
http://www.observer.com/2010/wall-street/repo-men%E2%80%99s-new-lehman-shrugTo all; the above link interviews former Lehman Bros. employees regarding their use of rule "105". Was rule 105 legal? Maybe. Was it ethical in the way it was used? No. Is it still being used now? I would lay 1,000/1 odds it is! Europe is currently looking into many derivative transactions by U.S. investment banking firms and the first criminal action is ongoing in Italy. Anyone who believes the U.S. Dollar will act as a safe haven while U.S. financial institutions are being lined up, shot at from all directions and executed needs to have their head examined! Once this growing pile of crap gains some momentum there will be no stopping it from engulfing the credibility of the entire Western financial system led of course by the U.S. and U.K..
This will end up casting a shadow on the supposed "politically stable and free markets" the U.S. is (was) so proud of. As criminal actions and civil suits are filed the rest of the world will back away from doing business with firms like Lehman (now dead) and Goldman, JP Morgan etc. (currently in the crosshairs). BUT... in the end this will not be about individual firms, it will be about the Dollar and Treasuries. The biggest "export" from the U.S. to the rest of the world has for years been "safe" Dollars and Treasuries, the shadow of fraudulent accounting will put an end to this "export".
Get ready for a drastic change in the U.S. standard of living because foreigners will not only halt their purchases of U.S. debt but they will turn sellers. No more "real goods" for "fake paper". The days of "something for nothing" are coming to a halt and the U.S. no longer has the industrial or manufacturing capacity to trade "something for something". Again Main St. will suffer for Wall Steet/Washington's greed, fraudulence and outright theft. You must protect yourself as no one else will. Have a nice weekend, Bill H.
And this report on how Lehman executives feel about the repo 105 rule and the damage it is having througout the world: (they are laughing at it):
Former Lehman Executives 'Giggle' at 'Nonprofessionals' Who Think Losing Billions of Dollars Is a Big Deal
3/17/10 at 10:58 AM
How do you think former Lehman Brothers executives felt about the recently released report on the firm's failure that reveals, among other things, the firm used a weird accounting practice known as "Repo 105" to move $50 billion of toxic mortgage assets off its books in order to make its balance sheet look healthier? Embarrassed? Regretful? Are they thinking to themselves Wow, in retrospect, that does look pretty bad. What were we thinking? Not really, no. This morning's Post reports that former CEO Richard Fuld feels "vindicated" by the report, since Repo 105 is not illegal, but merely kind of skeazy. Others apparently feel the same way: "I'm like, whatever," a former managing director of Lehman London tells the Observer. "When I read this, I giggle a little bit, because $50 billion is a drop in the ocean."
The "yappers" who are shocked by it, he said, are merely unsophisticated "nonprofessionals" who are just looking for someone to point the finger at for the near-collapse of the financial system. But as amusing as it is, it's also kind of sad, really, said another executive, that people are just so stupid. They're like a bunch of animals. Like wild, ignorant bulls, starved into rage, stupidly crashing around and driving their horns into things just because they don't know what else to do.
"They just want to be mad and don't know what they're talking about and want to be outraged." After an interview, that executive sent a follow-up email comparing the widespread furor over Lehman Brothers to the groupthink that sent America into Iraq after Sept. 11.
Only a few people are smart enough to understand *the truth* of the matter, which is that ultimately bankers are smarter and better than everyone else, always have been always will be. Not that it's fun to have this knowledge! Quite frankly, it is a terrible burden, because no matter how much you say it and how true it is, no one wants to believe you.
Here is another state with budgetary shortfalls The state is Mississippi:
Gov. Barbour trims another $40.6M from FY 2010 budget
Posted: Mar 17, 2010 2:13 PM Updated: Mar 17, 2010 2:31 PM
JACKSON, MS (WLOX) – Governor Haley Barbour has ordered another $40.6 million in budget cuts for the current fiscal year after the state revenue estimating committee lowered its projection for Fiscal Year 2010. This reduction brings the total amount of cuts this year to $499.1 million.
Wednesday's budget cuts mean nearly every state government account, except those exempt by statute, have been cut by almost 9.5 percent.
Among those cut were the budgets for the Governor's Mansion and Governor's Office. But a news release from Barbour pointed out "the Legislature's budget has not been reduced, as it has exempted itself from being subjected to budget cuts."
"I must reiterate that this deficit, coupled with continued lower revenues, means we must take a serious look at how Mississippi government is structured," Governor Barbour said. "Real changes will be necessary if we are to continue providing essential services to our citizens while prudently spending our reserve funds and achieving a balanced budget."
Governor Barbour asked lawmakers to give agency heads the authority to be flexible with the additional cuts. The Senate quickly agreed, but the House did not.
More cuts loom as state faces $295m in red ink
MassHealth, other services blamed for drain on coffers
Massachusetts is potentially facing a new budget gap of up to $295 million this year, a grim forecast that state officials said could spell yet another round of painful cuts before the fiscal year ends in June.
Patrick administration officials blamed the gap on rising demand for the joint state and federal health care program for low-income residents known as MassHealth, increasing demand for homeless shelters, and on below-projected revenue from state fees and federal aid.
Massachusetts, like other states, has grappled with more than two years of declining revenue as a result of the global economic downturn, which prompted Governor Deval Patrick to make midyear budget cuts four times last fiscal year and once already this year, in October.
Jay Gonzalez, secretary of administration and finance, said that officials were monitoring the situation and that the gap could ultimately be as low as $195 million.
He said officials would decide in the next few weeks how to find savings, with the potential for further cuts and additional withdrawals from the state's dwindling reserve fund.

My car is a march 2003, DE78215, and I have successfully replaced the original TCU, which would be the same as your one now, with the facelift Bluetooth version TCU.
I did not try Bluetooth with my pre-facelift (original MMI). One of the first things I replaced in my car was the MMI with the facelift one.....more colours, better graphics and faster processing.
So, if your inclined, it can all be done.
If you need help with the diagrams just let me know and I will help as much as I can.
The ringtone is much better in the car too with the Bluetooth set up by the way......
Hi Ace,
Thanks very much for the reply, thats great news!
I will take the panel off and see which pins in the connector are occupied so i know which diagram i should be looking at!
I understand I will need a bluetooth antenna fitted under the arm rest that is wired directly to the new TCU, is that correct? does the TCU need any coding itself? or is it pretty much plug and play? (with the exception of the MMI coding of course).
One last thing! im sure you have covered this before so I apologise in advance!, exactly what software and interface are you using to code the MMI? I may have looked it up before and it was pretty expensive, can the same coding be done with NCS expert?
Thanks again!

Anatomy of murder (original 2010; edition 2010)
by Imogen Robertson
Work details
Anatomy of Murder by Imogen Robertson (2010)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
If you haven't yet discovered Imogen Robertson and her amateur sleuths Harriet Westerman and Gabriel Crowther, the perfect time is now. Anatomy of Murder is the second installment of this series which takes place in 1780's England. Harriet is the wife of a ship's captain who, after years of sailing beside her husband, is now a stay-at-home mom. Once again enlisting the help of the anti-social anatomist Crowther, Harriet has been sought out by a government official to explain the death of a man found floating in the Thames. This investigation will take them into the world of Opera in search of just what this death has to do with the Franco-American Treaty and how, exactly, Captain Westerman is involved. You can read the first book, Instruments of Darkness, now. Then, adventures continue, exposing the secret past of Gabriel Crowther, in the October release of Island of Bones.
(This review was originally written for Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore)
First Line: Captain Westerman was in his cabin reading the letter from his wife for the fourth time when he heard the officer of the morning watch ring Six Bells.
It's 1781, and Harriet Westerman finds herself in London. Her husband, a ship's captain, has been very seriously injured while capturing a French vessel, and Harriet needs to be near him during his recuperation.
She and the reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther have become famous (or infamous) as amateur detectives for solving the mysteries of Thornleigh Hall, which occurred in the first book of the series, Instruments of Darkness. The British government requests their skills as detectives in investigating the death of a man whose body was pulled from the Thames. Harriet's presence at her husband's bedside is doing him no good. Since the doctor tells her to occupy her time in some other fashion-- and because "requests" from the government can seldom be ignored-- the team of Crowther and Westerman find themselves unraveling a plot filled with spies and betrayal.
Once again author Imogen Robertson immerses the reader in the England of the late eighteenth century. The setting, the time period, and the plot are all engrossing, but as with any high calibre mystery, the characters are what lift everything to a more lofty, enjoyable plane. We meet Harriet's husband, Harriet can now be seen as an anxious wife, and the hermit-like Gabriel Crowther is slowly becoming used to Harriet, her family, and just dealing with the general populace. (When you've avoided the public for years, it can take a while to get reacquainted.) Robertson's characters are anything but static and one-dimensional; things happen to them, they grow, and they change. Put this interesting cast in the middle of a genuinely puzzling investigation, and you experience a little bit of mystery reading nirvana.
If you're a fan of historical mysteries, strong characters, intriguing plots, and a rich, almost Dickensian setting, I'd advise you to read Imogen Robertson's Crowther and Westerman series.
The purchase of this book was a lucky accident. It caught my eye at the book store and I have a new series to love.
Harriet Westerman is the wife of a Commander of the Royal Navy during the time of the American Revolution and a lucky capture of a French vessel has set them up comfortably. A bad piece of luck, however, her husband was struck in the head and has not been able to regain his memories. While he is recuperating in an asylum, Harriett and her children are staying in the house of a very young Lady Susan, orphan and a continuing story from the first episode of the series.
Harriet's comrade-in-arms is Gabriel Crowther, a man with a mysterious past which included a passion for autopsies and dissection, very handy in murder investigations.
Another character, Jocaste Bligh, is a poor, illiterate woman who reads Tarot cards for a living. She is following a different investigation that ends up meshing with the first. Hopefully, she will return in more stories as she was equally as interesting.
The two murder investigations alternate in shorter and shorter chapters as the action gets more and more intense. It made for a riveting read.
The second in the Westerman and Crowther series in which the intrepid, and somewhat eccentric, duo are set to solving murders and revealing a spy-ring at work in late 18th Century England.
I loved the description on the back of the book that said CSI for Georgian England. It was so true, that although there was a lack of technology or sophisticated science, the amateur sleuths in this series are able to uncover many facts and clues to solve a mystery. Add onto that the historical fiction setting and you have a great premise for a novel with lively characters and a well formed plot. I certainly can't wait to read other books in this series!

Pogo Breakaway Headphone Jack: MagSafe Your Music
August 22nd, 2013
A few months ago we featured the Neo-Plug, a mobile device charger with a two-piece magnetic tip similar to Apple's MagSafe. Designer Jon Patterson recently showed us a similar concept but for a headphone jack. He calls it the Pogo. I call it a headphone saver.
Like many of us, Jon was tired of having his headphone cable snag or break when he accidentally pulls it. When he left his job at Nooka, Jon spent his time developing the Pogo. Now he's ready to show off his prototypes. Like the Neo-Plug, Pogo is split into two parts. Each part has a neodymium magnet that securely connects the halves and four Pogo pins that bridge the connection.
All wired connections should be like this. Jon is looking for partners that can help him mass produce the Pogo. If you're interested, you can contact him here.

I've been powering my 5050 SMD 300 LED 5 meter strip from dealextreme.com with my home made arduino powered device.
I just noticed there are a bit of color differences with the red lights. First I thought it was the LEDs, but after having a closer look it looks like its groups of 3 and 3 LEDs are different. Could that mean that the resistors are of poor quality?
The LED strip is rated for 12v, but after measuring it looks like my linear wallwart is supplying 12.4v in this configuration. Could the additional 0.4v wear the resistors or the LEDs. Bear in mind these are cheap chinese LED strips, which means the parts are most likely not overrated for durability.

- "Rick is working towards something... He's building a life for all of us, including you if you'd back the fuck off. That's big. That's special. And I won't do anything to jeopardize that... No matter how many genitals you sever."
- —Eugene to Negan, expressing his loyalty to Rick.[src]
Eugene Porter is a character first encountered in Issue 53 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead and is a science teacher. Eugene often appears sloppy and depressed.[1] He was traveling with Abraham Ford and Rosita Espinosa for a very long time during the apocalypse, lying to them, saying he knew what caused the undead outbreak, leading them towards Washington, D.C. where they bump into Rick's group and they once again move their way to Washington, D.C. where they find more survivors. Despite everything Eugene has done, he has become extremely useful to Rick's group, expressing a brutal loyalty towards his fellow companions.
Location Unknown
Before the outbreak, Eugene was a high-school science teacher. Like many survivors, he was unprepared for the harsh realities the zombie apocalypse brought, and believed he lacked the skills or experiences necessary to survive.
As a teacher, he realized his skills were his intelligence, and he combined this with his self-belief in his ability to lie well. He utilized his advanced general knowledge to survive, and at some unknown point, he cut his hair and fashioned it into a mullet. When asked why he did so, he reasoned that it took attention off of his intelligence.
Here We Remain
Details of Eugene prior to meeting Rick Grimes's group are, like his two companions, mostly unknown. Eugene encountered Abraham around the same time as Rosita. He proceeded to press a lie that he was one of ten scientists employed by the United States government who worked on a project to weaponize the human genome when the "plague" hit the world, and that he knew the "classified" origins of the zombie apocalypse.
Eugene acknowledged Abraham's physical prowess and time in the Army, and successfully convinced him, while Abraham was in a state of despair over his family's death, to travel to Washington, D.C. He eventually convinced Rosita and other unknown members of their survivor group with Abraham at his backing. Eugene motivated his group to undertake the "mission" through stating that that there were surviving government and military personnel who needed his supposed knowledge of the origins of the epidemic, and who could also provide them all safe shelter.
Eugene used an old radio as a prop to maintain his facade, and emphasized he had upper-level contact with "heads of state" in D.C. until a generator on their signal boosters severed long-range radio frequency. He used his facade as a military scientist and the knowledge he carried as the reason to press the group to head to Washington, thus securing his safety in a larger group of survivors.
Abraham soon took up the role of his protector, and Eugene reassured any doubts Abraham had with displays of knowledge, such as fixing Abraham's headache with a rub to the side of his head and making a compass with needle and silk. Abraham went to great lengths to protect Eugene, and became so convinced that the mission to Washington surpassed all else that he killed three other members of their group when they tried to run away with food and supplies on the way to Washington, as Abraham revealed to Rick.
Eugene, Abraham, and Rosita were the only survivors of their travelling group by the time they made it to Hershel's Farm and came across Rick and his survivors. After being confronted, Eugene told the survivors that he knew what caused the plague, but, refused to disclose any information to anyone, including Abraham and Rosita, as it was classified for surviving government officials in Washington, D.C. Eugene also debunked their observation of his less-than-convincing appearance, stating that he wore a mullet haircut because it would help trick any hostile threats into thinking he knows nothing important.
The story prompted Rick's group to hostility and caused unease and doubt, but, Abraham ultimately convinced the majority of Rick's group of Eugene's credibility and their mission.
What We Become
Eugene continues to travel with the group during this volume.
Fear The Hunters
Eugene survives the skirmish with The Hunters during this volume.
Life Among Them
After being confronted by an increasingly suspicious Rick, Eugene reveals the truth; he's not a scientist and lied just to be protected by stronger survivors. Before anything else can happen, a stranger appears and invites them to a safe-zone in the outskirts of the capital.
After the survivors arrive, leader Douglas Monroe tells Rick that he plans to make Eugene a community planner. While not much is seen about how he's adapting to the living in the Safe-Zone, Eugene seems to be getting along well. He just doesn't seem to like the proximity of sharing a house with the survivors.
Too Far Gone
Eugene continues to live in the safe-zone during this volume.
No Way Out
Eugene isn't seen much, until Issue 83 and Issue 84 hiding with Nicholas and Gabriel in Gabriel's church when the zombie horde invades the Safe-Zone. While Rick and Michonne are fighting with all their strength to protect Denise (who tries to save Carl's life), Eugene and many others are able to see it. It may have inspired him and many others to come over their fears, Eugene joins the citizens in fighting off the group of zombies. Oddly enough, he shows confidence that they could beat the zombies, believing that it was all simple math and reasoned that he wanted to be remembered for this day in helping clear the horde. Eugene survived the attack and was able to help kill some of the zombies and prevent others from dying.
We Find Ourselves
Once the Herd was held off, Eugene found Rosita wanting to move into his home to seek shelter and comfort. Eugene had been living alone, and Rosita confided in him that he was her only friend in the community. Though Eugene tried to enter a relationship with Rosita, she repeatedly denied him, saying she didn't feel for him that way, though he still persisted. When Abraham visited Eugene during Rick's trip to the Hilltop Colony, Eugene insulted Abraham for leaving Rosita, and boasted that she preferred living and being with him. Rosita eventually came out when Abraham left and scolded Eugene for telling Abraham so, reassuring Eugene that they were not together.
A Larger World
Sometime during this volume, Eugene scavengers a nearby gun store,and starts to research how to make bullets.
Something To Fear
Eugene later told Rick that he might have found a solution to the rising depletion of the Safe Zone's available ammunition, as he researched a nearby gun-store with the supplies to recycle spent bullet casings. While Rick made the trip to the Hilltop Colony, Eugene took the initiative to tell Abraham of his plan. He convinced Abraham to make the trip with him the morning of Rick's arrival.
However, Eugene was unaware of the Saviors' planned retaliation attack for the deaths of three of their group by the hands of Michonne and Andrea, as Rick wished to wait until morning to tell them of the new threat. While the two conversed, the topic eventually led to Rosita and Eugene admits that although he's tried to enter in a relationship with her several times, he doesn't believe Rosita will ever look at him like the way she did to Abraham. He is consoled by Abraham, saying that he just needs to be less weird and tells Eugene that he simply wishes for Rosita to be happy like he is with Holly and "if it's with you, great." Abraham is then abruptly and suddenly killed from a crossbow through the back of his head. Eugene grabs Abraham's assault rifle, but, is threatened by Abraham's killer, Dwight, who dismisses him as "bait". Eugene was later tied him up and taken hostage when the Saviors attempted to enter the Safe-Zone. When Rick refused and before gunfire erupted, Eugene bit Dwight's crotch and significantly wounded him long enough for the Safe-Zone defenders to kill at least a dozen of the Savior's group. When they retreated, Eugene was rescued by Rick and Andrea, though he expressed remorse when he saw Abraham's body.
When Eugene returned and news of Abraham's death reached her, Rosita broke down in grief and confided in Eugene about her past, revealing her practice of pleasuring men in the group they were once a part of in order to survive. She stated that when Abraham came, though she expected him to be like the other men, he wasn't and she soon fell in love with him. She also told Eugene that she believed, even though he ended up having lied the entire time, that Abraham would have protected him regardless, like he protected her. The two comforted each other in their shared mourning for their friend, and Eugene was later seen at the funeral with Rosita, comforting her in their grief.
After Rick leads a caravan out of the Alexandria Safe Zone to return to the Hilltop Colony, Eugene is shown mourning at Abraham's graveside.
After Rick and the group return to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, Eugene approaches Rick and reveals to him what he Abraham were doing outside the Safe-Zone before the first Savior attack. Eugene also tells Rick that he is reasonably comfortable in being able to make bullets and offers to attempt to construct bullets for the group to fight off The Saviors. Rick tells Eugene his idea is admirable, but, it is not what he has planned for dealing with the Saviors and tells the community they will be trading with The Saviors. Despite Rick telling him otherwise, Eugene is still seen scouting several buildings within the area with both Rosita and Holly, trying to locate a building nearby that had the equipment needed to create ammunition. Later, while going through one building, Eugene discovers that it has everything they need, earning him some praise from Rosita.
What Comes After
Eugene starts to make bullets in a nearby factory in this volume.
March To War
Eugene continues to make bullets for the survivors during this volume.
All Out War - Part One
After forming an alliance with The Kingdom, Rick goes to Eugene and asks about the ammo production. Curious, Eugene inquires as to why and Rick tells him about the plan to attack The Saviors with the help of several other communities. Despite initially wanting his bullets to "kill the monsters who killed Abraham and Glenn", Eugene is seen to have had second thoughts and claims that he wasn't aware that the bullets he made would be used to kill people. Eugene later changes his stance, recognizing that in order for them to be safe they have to kill those who threaten them. Close to the beginning of the war, Eugene informs Rick that they have several more cases of ammunition that were made ahead of schedule; Rick thanks him and his team on the hard work they've done in helping to curb the war in their favor. Eugene is working with his group inside their ammunition foundry when Negan's forces attack Alexandria.
All Out War - Part Two
After the initial bombardment, one of the workers named John decides to go outside and urinate. Eugene tells him to stay inside (in case a herd arrives soon), but, the former refuses and Eugene eventually relents. His fears are confirmed when several zombies overpower John and kill him. Eugene moves to close the door, but, there are too many zombies, and they are forced to flee. As they make it outside the foundry, Eugene hears someone bark out an order to kill the zombies. It is revealed to be Negan who was leading The Saviors back to Sanctuary. Negan is confused as to why Eugene and the others are outside the walls and captures them.
Eugene is taken away from the others, and Negan arrives, flanked by Dwight and Carson. He informs Eugene that he knows what he was doing and demands that he make ammunition for the Saviors. Eugene refuses and says that Rick has a vision for the future and offhandedly insults Negan. Negan issues an ultimatum: either Eugene complies or he will do one of two things: iron Eugene's face or castrate him as well as killing several of the captured Alexandrians. Eugene firmly refuses to betray Rick and defiantly says that he will never comply, "no matter how many genitals you sever." Negan then leaves Eugene to think over his options.
A few hours later, Dwight visits Eugene in his cell. Dwight informs him that he is here to get him out, saying he thinks he can do so. However, Eugene does not believe Dwight wants to save him or his friends, saying he didn't save Holly, so why would he bother saving him and his friends from capture. Dwight tells Eugene that there was no chance to do so and Eugene retorts back by saying that Dwight is only playing both sides until there is a clear winner and if he was to get free, he would kill Dwight from behind just like he did to Abraham. Dwight shrugs this off, telling Eugene that he is not a good man, or that he regrets anything he has done, rather that he just wanted to get the chance to reassure Eugene before he scares himself to death and tells him that if he ever got the chance, he would kill Negan on the spot. However, their conversation is overheard by another Savior named Carson. Dwight tries to bluff his way out, but, Carson tells him he heard the whole conversion. However, much to Eugene and Dwight's surprise, Carson tells them he wants to help take Negan down to get a chance to see his brother at the Hilltop, Harlan Carson, again.
A few hours after Negan, Dwight, and the majority of The Savior forces leave to attack Hilltop, Eugene is seen still sitting in his prison cell at The Sanctuary. However, a few seconds later, Carson unlocks Eugene's cell door and rescues him. They quickly head towards the room where his ammo team is being held captive and Carson and Eugene free them too. Much to their surprises, two Saviors, Mark and his Girlfriend Amber, sneak up behind them. However, instead of trying to kill Eugene, Carson, and the others, they decide to accompany them on leaving The Sanctuary, Eugene and the rest managing to commandeer a van and escape.
After managing to get away from The Sanctuary's confines, Eugene, Carson, and the other escapees manage to drive back to Alexandria. However, when they get there, they find the area completely pitch black and need to switch the headlights on in order to see. When they do so, they find a large group of zombies heading towards the van and a Savior sniper on a nearby roof, who spots them instantly. Carson tries to drive away, but, the van gets stuck in between a large group of zombies. Everyone starts to panic as the zombies start to close-in around the van and The Savior sniper, Donnie, opens fire on the van. Eugene tells everyone to stop panicking and if everyone does exactly what he says, they will get out of the situation alive.
Eugene props a small hammer up against the van's steering wheel and triggers the horn, causing the undead to swarm around the front of the van and simultaneously causing Donnie to lose his target. This allows Eugene, Carson, and the rest of the group to escape the van and climb up to Donnie's position. Eugene catches him off-guard and manages to knock Donnie off the building's ledge and to the floor below, killing him instantly. Eugene then confesses to Carson that he has never killed a man before and he feels terrible in doing so. However, Carson reassures him and tells Eugene that Donnie was an animal and would have killed them if they didn't kill him first. Eugene relaxes after hearing this and proclaims that they will rest on the rooftop until sunrise, heading to Hilltop afterwards.
A New Beginning
Eugene was working on the Alexandria Herd Patrol. He devised a plan with a horn that drove the roamers away so others teammates could continue their mission. Eugene comes to tell Rick how his plan worked and that none of the people were in any serious trouble. Rick says that's great but tells Eugene that he isn't to go on Herd Patrol again. Eugene says that he's not sure if people will be able map the herd's next path, and that it's essential to show someone how to do it on the field. Rick says that Eugene is too valuable to the community and that they can not risk losing him. Eugene understands and asks how the mill is doing. Rick says that it's running smoothly and that its first loaf of bread has been finished. Rick says that Eugene's design is working great and asks if Eugene would like to do an inspection with him tomorrow. Eugene says sure but states it wasn't his design and that he just read a book. Rick tells him not to diminish what he's done for the community by preserving their technological achievements and shortening the road back a great deal. Rick leaves Eugene to go back to his house and bids him farewell until the day after.
The next day, Rick and Eugene are walking towards the mill when Rick asks if his relationship with Rosita is okay. Eugene says that he thinks it is. Rick questions what he meant and Eugene says that he's not sure if Rosita really wants to be with him and that he may make his fear of her leaving him a reality. Rick says that maybe he shouldn't do that. Olivia is inside the mill, getting ready to take a new batch of bread out of the furnace soon. Rick says that he never realized how much he missed the smell of fresh bread. Eugene tells Rick that things are going well enough to start gearing towards ramping up production and when Alexandria has a surplus, they can start trading with other communities. Rick tells Eugene and Olivia that he doesn't think they realize how valuable the mill is to the community. He says that if things keep progressing they way they are now, bread could be more valuable than bullets soon. Olivia says that she's felt that way for a while and is glad that the world is catching up to her. Eugene tells Rick that they should be getting over to the factory
Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Eugene has killed:
Rosita Espinosa
- "Rosita, please. Just forget him, okay? He never cared for you... Not like you did for him... Not like I do."
- —Eugene expressing his care for Rosita.[src]
Eugene initially traveled with Abraham and Rosita under the guise of being an important scientist, when all along he was only seeking their protection and company. He would often spy on them having sex, to which Rosita was the first to acknowledge. As time passed and the trio traveled along with Rick's group, Eugene would go onto remain relatively close to Abraham and Rosita. Even after being exposed as a liar, Eugene would go onto confide in Rosita. This was further evidenced after Abraham and Rosita's breakup when she offered to cook him dinner. It is speculated that because Eugene and Abraham were close, Rosita may be trying to make Abraham jealous. This is teased at when Eugene told Abraham that Rosita was happier with him; after Abraham leaves, Rosita confronts Eugene and denies that they are in a relationship. While on a scouting trip with Abraham, Eugene once again stands his ground regarding Rosita and Abraham tells him that if he can make her as happy as he is without her, then Eugene should go for it. Whether or not Eugene truly holds feelings for her or was bravely trying to make Abraham jealous as a friend to her, has yet to be revealed. In the events leading up to and during the funeral held for Abraham, Eugene and Rosita are shown to truly have developed a special bond that may go above any normal relationship. It can be considered that Eugene and Rosita are one in the same, as they both used their personality traits to survive, particularly on Abraham. After the two year time skip, they are shown to have started a relationship, but it is heavily strained, with Rosita barely talking to Eugene and him fearful that things would end.
Abraham Ford
- "I want her to be happy without me. Like I am without her. I just want things to be... right. Do you understand? If she can be happy with you... great. And then... I just don't--"
- —Abraham's last words to Eugene.[src]
Abraham and Rosita met up with Eugene under the guise of him being an important scientist, which turned out to be a lie and that he just wanted their protection and company. He would often spy on them having sex, to which Rosita was the first to acknowledge. As time passed and the trio traveled along with Rick's group, Eugene would go onto remain relatively close to Abraham and Rosita. Even after being exposed as a liar, Eugene would go onto confide in Rosita. This was further evidenced after Abraham and Rosita's breakup when she offered to cook him dinner. It is apparent that Eugene has feelings for Rosita, and as Abraham comes by to check on them, he would tell him that they were fine and she's doing a lot better with him than she was with him. He could be just messing with Abraham, but, it could be that he truly believes he is in a relationship with Rosita, even though she tells they aren't together. During the scout, they once again speak of this and in Abraham's dying words he tells Eugene that if he can make her happy then he should do it. Eugene Porter was in fact the last person to see and speak to Abraham before his death and has visited his graveside, possibly in an attempt to find closure for ridiculing him over cheating on Rosita.
Rick Grimes
During the introduction of Abraham's group to Rick and his, Eugene had been under his guise as an important scientist on his way to Washington, something Rick took seriously. However, when Rick took Eugene's radio to take a look at it himself, Eugene became defensive and during a brief struggle it was revealed that the radio had no power running to it. Rick, along with the others, would treat Eugene as a worthless tag along for some time. This revelation would go on to mark the slow, but, persistent transformation in Eugene's character from a worthless liar to a now intricate member of the group. Most notably, Eugene told Rick that he can produce ammunition for firearms if given the right tools, something that Rick entrusts him to keep secret from the others as continues with the venture. Later, when Eugene is captured by Negan, he expresses his faith in Rick Grimes, believing that Rick is creating a better life for everyone.
Gabriel Stokes
- "I believe your beliefs are absurd."
- —Eugene to Gabriel whilst discussing religion.[src]
Gabriel and Eugene seemed to have a stable friendship. While looking for Dale, the two debated with one another about the existence of God. Once the Alexandria Safe-Zone was overrun, Eugene and Nicholas begged Gabriel to let them inside the church to hide. Hesitating at first, but, not wanting to cause more deaths by locking people outside, like Gabriel had before the group met him, he let both Eugene and Nicholas inside.
- "I get free... I'm going to take you out from behind. You'll never see it coming. You'll go out like Abraham did... Only I'm thinking there won't be as many people out there who give a damn."
- —Eugene threatening Dwight.[src]
Dwight and Eugene share a poor relationship. Eugene bitterly hates Dwight for killing Abraham and shows this by savagely biting Dwight in the groin after his capture. He later expresses his desire to kill all the Saviors, including Dwight. After his capture in #122, he shows no fear in the face of Dwight and continues to threaten him, and calls him out on simply playing both sides.
- Robert Kirkman answered the question whether naming characters the same name, Billy, Chris, Jim, Eugene, Eric, and Bruce was an oversight, "It's not oversight at all. It's completely unrealistic for a group of people to meet at random and never encounter the same names."[2]
- Eugene is a good liar, as revealed by himself.
- Robert Kirkman stated in Letter Hacks that Eugene is a very complex and conflicted character, and more of his character will be explored in the upcoming issues.

|Environmental Technology Verification, Dust Suppression Products, North American Salt Company's DustGard (33 pp, 350 KB) (EPA/600/R-05/127) January 2006
Verification Statement (4 pp, 44 KB)
Dust suppressant products used to control particulate emissions from unpaved roads are among the technologies evaluated by the Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT) Verification Center, part of EPA's Environmental Technology Verification Program. The critical performance factor for dust suppressant verification is the dust control efficiency (CE). CE was evaluated in terms of total particulate, particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers (µm) in aerodynamic diameter, and particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter.
North American Salt Company submitted the DustGard dust suppressant to the APCT center for testing. The test and quality assurance plan, prepared in accordance with the Generic Verification Protocol, addressed the site-specific issues associated with these one-year verification tests. The one-year testing was conducted at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, during October 2002, May 2003, and October 2003.
This verification report summarizes the results. The verified CE is based on all tests at each site, as specified in the test and quality assurance plan. Test conditions were measured and documented.
