Article: Cortico-medullary continuity in bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation mimicking osteochondroma on imaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), or Nora's lesion, is an unusual surface-based lesion of bone found most commonly in the hands and feet. In the original description of the lesion and in all publications that followed, one of the key imaging characteristics used to define this entity was the lack of cortico-medullary continuity with the underlying bone. The authors present 4 unique cases of pathologically proven BPOP in which cortico-medullary continuity with the underlying bone was demonstrated on imaging. It is believed that florid reactive periostitis, BPOP and turret osteochondroma may reflect points along the same continuum with trauma the likely inciting event. The authors suggest that, given this continuum, it may be possible to have BPOP lesions demonstrating overlapping imaging features with osteochondroma. If this is the case, strict adherence to the standard imaging criterion of lack of continuity between the lesion and the underlying bone may lead to misdiagnosis of these unusual cases of BPOP as osteochondromas.Skeletal Radiology 10/2007; 36(9):829-34.

Article: Florid reactive periostitis and bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation: pre-biopsy imaging evolution, treatment and outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To report on the imaging evolution of florid reactive periostitis (FRP) and bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) of the phalanges of the hands from prospective diagnosis to operation and on postsurgical outcome. Three patients (2 female, 1 male; age range 11-34 years) presented with a swollen digit of the hand. Following presumptive radiographic diagnosis of FRP, they were closely observed both clinically and radiographically until operation. All three patients had radiographs of the involved digit, and one patient had an MR imaging examination. The interval between presumptive diagnosis and operation ranged from 2 to 8 months. Following operation, the patients have been clinically followed for 9-13 months (mean 10 months). In each of the patients, maturing of periosteal reaction without bone destruction was observed within 1-2 weeks of the presumptive diagnosis of FRP. Periosteal reaction was initially minimal in relation to the extent of soft tissue swelling and subsequently became more florid. In one patient, the lesion ossified, became adherent to the phalanx, and had an "osteochondromatous" appearance. In another patient, periosteal reaction was seen on both sides of the phalanx with an intact phalanx. In the sole patient who had MR imaging, edema was seen in the phalanx distal to the symptomatic site and the metacarpal proximal to the symptomatic site. Close clinical and radiographic correlation permits an accurate pre-biopsy diagnosis of FRP. The first follow-up radiograph taken within 2 weeks usually provides re-assurance of the accuracy of the diagnosis. FRP may progress to BPOP. Arbitrary antibiotic treatment can be avoided, and a planned surgical approach can be adopted.Skeletal Radiology 05/2001; 30(4):192-8. DOI:10.1007/s002560100343 · 1.51 Impact Factor
Article: Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation and Periosteal Chondroma: A Comparative Report and Review of the Literature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation and periosteal chondroma are rare, benign, bony lesions that may present in the hand. Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation was first reported in the literature by Nora in 1983, and periosteal chondroma was first reported by Lichtenstein in 1952. This report provides a unique side-by-side comparison of these lesions, illustrating each with a clinical vignette. This report, coupled with a thorough review of the literature, serves to demonstrate that the history and physical exam characteristics, as well as the radiographic and gross appearances, are insufficient to differentiate between the two lesions. Histopathologic examination is required to confirm the diagnosis.The Journal Of Hand Surgery 07/2007; 32(6):893-8. DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2007.04.004 · 1.67 Impact Factor

I am going to develop a new GUI for an existing C++ application. The application works on Windows and Linux, and the communication with GUI is through client/server.
What are the pros and cons between Eclipse RCP and Qt?
I am going to develop a new GUI for an existing C++ application. The application works on Windows and Linux, and the communication with GUI is through client/server.
What are the pros and cons between Eclipse RCP and Qt?
Some pros of Qt:
Some cons of Qt:
Some pros of Eclipse RCP:
Some cons of Eclipse RCP:
Both their distribution licenses (LGPL/GPL/commercial for Qt, EPL for Eclipse) are flexible enough for most uses, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I am not a lawyer, so I may be mistaken about that.
And of course, other factors like the experience of the developers, their technical skills, the size of the team, concrete requirements, etc, should be taken into account.
BTW, I have much experience in Eclipse RCP but only theoretical knowledge on Qt, so I may be biased/mistaken in my statements.
Now that Qt has an LGPL license I would choose Qt any day of the week over Eclipse RCP.
I have used both to create fairly complex applications.
Since you can use eclipse to develop c++, I am assuming that we are comparing mostly swt/jface vs Qt, and not the eclipse development environment itself.
Some things I have noticed having used both:
1) Qt has better documentation and samples
Other than some half-baked examples on the web, I could find little useful eclipse documentation.
2) Qt has a lot more 'professional' users
There are many professional companies out there using Qt as their UI framework. Given it's three platform support (Windows, Linux, Mac), it is very flexible, and has a lot of backing.
3) Qt tends to be more complete and mature -
Using Eclipse I noticed that quite often the controls, and packages that were available were only partially done, and not quite complete. They were typically developed for someone's use, and only coded as far as that. Qt's controls were almost always a complete design.
4) Styling.
Both Qt and Eclipse render using local platform libraries, so your UI will 'look' like other UIs on the platform you are running on (i.e. Linux vs Windows). However, Qt also provides fairly sophisticated styling functionality that allows you to easily alter the look of any control, and gives you much more control over the look of your application.
With the new declarative language (Qt 4.7.*) you are approaching WPF level of control which is really amazing.
5) UI Designer:
Qt has a much richer Designer that allows you to layout your form, and do basic testing without having to compile any code. The designer also gives you the capability to add interactions between the controls on your form. Ex. Click this button - disable this option
Eclipse also has a form designer, although my experience with it is limited. I did try to use it a couple of times with very limited success. Finally I coded every form by hand through code. That is painful.
6) Interfacing with existing source code
If you don't have this problem, then you are very lucky. Because Qt is c++ based it integrates seamlessly with legacy C and C++ code. Integrating Java and C is not easy.
7) Drawing Libraries
I tried coding some hand-drawn shapes using the swt libraries and was forced to bypass large parts of the swt drawing library, because of the cludge that was in there. Using Qt to do something similar was no trouble at all.
8) Tree and List Models
Eclipse does provide some nice out of the box functionality for propagated data into trees, and lists and things. It is almost as good in Qt, although a little trickier to set up.
9) Application Layout
Eclipse provides some nice functionality to manage 'view's (dock panels), and 'perspectives' (workflows) that if you decide to use them makes life nice and easy. Qt requires you to do this yourself. Qt does have dock panel functionality, but when building a rich application you have to set this up yourself.
Extra Note:
Qt has also provided some extra libraries to support things like xml, etc... So this helps bridge the gap a little between c++ and java for things like this.


text: We arrived late after a very long journey to the edge of Erg Chebbi. Ali and his excellent staff could not have been more welcoming. We felt like extended family. An excellent dinner was waiting in the garden and music was played. We had tea near the beautiful pool as we planned our 4x4 excursion for the following morning and also received more information about our planned overnight adventure to the berber tent camp in the dunes. Mohammed was a fantastic guide the following morning and we highly recommend taking the excursion to see flamingos, the black desert and even a stop for tea with a nomad. We then returned to the guest house for lunch and to prepare for our overnight. If you are at all worried about doing an overnight camp into the dunes, this is the place you'll want to do it with. Ali made sure we were comfortable and even stayed with us until we were securely up on our camels and ready for the 90 minute ride to the dunes to catch sunset. the whole experience was definitely an adventure - this is a true tent camp with limited amenities - but it's an experience we won't forget. Dinner was great and sunrise over the dunes made it very much worth it. We returned the next morning for a shower and breakfast before saying goodbye to Ali and his beautiful twin boys! We highly recommend this guesthouse as part of a great Moroccan holiday.

ABOUT THE COLORED CONVENTIONSFrom 1830 until well after the Civil War, free and fugitive Blacks came together in state and national political "Colored Conventions." Before the war, they strategized about how to achieve educational, labor and legal justice at a moment when Black rights were constricting nationally and locally. And after the war, they continued to convene to discuss local, national and international possibilities, problems and challenges.
The delegates to these meetings included the most well-known, if mostly male, writers, organizers, church leaders, newspaper editors, and entrepreneurs in the canon of early African-American leadership—and many whose names and histories have long been forgotten. All that is left of this phenomenal effort are the minutes. Even these materials are rare and can only be accessed through out-of-print volumes.
This project seeks to not only learn about the lives of these male delegates, the places where they met and the social networks that they created but to also account for the crucial work done by Black women in the broader social networks that made these conventions possible.
ColoredConventions.org endeavors to transform teaching and learning about this historic collective organizing effort—and about the many leaders and places involved in it—bringing them to digital life for a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students and researchers across disciplines, for high school teachers, and for community members interested in the history of church, educational and entrepreneurial engagement.

On Thursday, the league declared former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor eligible for the supplemental draft, but with the caveat that he must serve a five-game suspension should he sign with an NFL team. Pryor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, originally backed the decision imposed by commissioner Roger Goodell.
On Friday, Pryor's lawyer, David Cornwell, appearing on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike, sounded like someone who had plans to -- you guessed it -- appeal Goodell's decision.
"[Goodell] indicated that we have the right to appeal within three days after Terrelle signs an NFL contract, and given some of the developments both in reaching the decision and comments out of the [NFL Players Association] regarding the decision, I think it's likely that we will file an appeal, and give the Players Association an opportunity to make it's objections to this on the record," Cornwell said, according wire reports.
This assumes, of course, that Pryor will be drafted on August 22. Surely, someone in Pryor's camp must have those assurances because the timing of Cornwall's announcement could scare off potential suitors (and who knows, it still might).
The bigger issue is (and we seem to be saying this all the time) Goodell's role in all this. As CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman wrote Thursday, the league would like to discipline NFL players who run afoul of NCAA rules, and the decision to suspend Pryor for five games was Goodell's way of circumventing the current guidelines that prevent that.
"What Roger Goodell did in suspending Pryor is get the NCAA's back. The NFL and NCAA both feel that players are breaking rules on the college level thinking they can use the NFL as an escape hatch. The NFL wants to stop that mentality. What Goodell did was also send a message to the union. If you won't work with us on this, then I'll use the commissioner power to make the decisions myself."
PFT's Mike Florio echoes many of the sentiments Freeman laid out: "If the NFLPA lets this one slide, then the NFL will try in the future to take similar action when a former college player who has gotten himself in trouble with the NCAA wants to play pro football."
Not surprisingly, the players are concerned, too. "I know players are concerned about the message this sends," said Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, a member of the players' executive committee. "Granted, making this 'deal' was an individual decision made by a player with counsel from his agent and lawyer. They have every right to make whatever deal they want for his personal future. That being said, the general concern now is how far into Pandora's box this may go."
And that's the problem.
Next up: seeing which teams are impressed enough with Pryor's workout to draft him. The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot writes that the Browns will be on hand for Pryor's Saturday pro day. Also worth mentioning: in June, the Browns were already doing their due dliigence on Pryor. We think it's safe to say that they like him. Just at what cost?

Pryor's lawyer plans to appeal 5-game suspension
People are going to be racists no matter who the president is so that is really irrelevant. However, these two yuong men, one who served jail time for fighting dogs and the other who helped get his coach fired, knowingly broke tons of NCAA rules and made a mockery of the system. I think that is good enough reason to want these guys to fail.

Pryor's lawyer plans to appeal 5-game suspension
Everyone keeps saying that this is Goodell making a power play by either showing his backing of the NCAA or that he can make his own rules for suspending and punishing players in the NFL. To some degree I can see that, but as soon as I heard the report I thought of it a different way.
Look at it from Pryor's side, the league wasn't going to let him be in the supplemental draft because he didn't fit their rules for being eligible. What if he is the one that offered up the 5 game suspension as a bribe so to speak to let him in. Say "since I wouldn't have been able to play the first 5 games in college I'll take the same time off in the pros and start my season at the same point."
I don't see how this sets any precedent for Goodell. What other player is going to get in trouble in college and not leave until the supplemental draft rather than the full draft? Had Pryor waited until next year there would have been no suspension at all.

Pryor's lawyer plans to appeal 5-game suspension
My opinion wasn't a legal analysis, it was more of a commentary on Mr. Goodell's actions, admittedly carried over from his punitive actions last year. I agree with everything you say in your post. The practical problem I see, though, is while I completely agree with you in that the NFL treats the NCAA as a farm system, the fact is that it isn't a farm system; if it were, the players would be paid. Notwithstanding that, I'm not neccesarily against the concept of punishing athletes such as this when and if they make it to the NFL. However, I think the punishment should be consistent with current NFL punishiments; a current player would need to violate the banned substance policy to get a punishment as harsh as Pryor received: in this case, 5/16ths of his salary. Don't get me wrong, the guy is still going to make a ton of money and I'm not losing any tears for him, but the punishment is simply inconsistent with the NFL's policy. That's the reason why I feel Mr. Goodell is acting with the wrong motive.
I agree that there is an inherent problem with the NCAA's system of the punishment of deeds done by others falls on those who remain behind. I'm not sure how that can be resolved. As you say, simplyfying the rule book would absolutely be a great start. I also agree that clearly defining penalties for infractions would be a tremendous step in the right direction, and I doubt it would that difficult to create.

I don't want VIck and Pryor to fail because I am racist.. I want Pryor to pay the price for trying to buck the system meant to keep his character issues in check..
I want Vick to fail because I love my dogs.... Do you think I'd be calling you a racist if you wanted Casey Anthony to drink a fifth of vodka and dare her to drive?? Nope. I don't by the "it was how we grew up crap" He grew up with a full ride to college, a massive pro contract, and undoubtedly all the promotion and support he wanted in school. Plenty of people grew up poor and impovershed. hell I lived in a mobile home with a big hole in front of the stove.. Doesn't mean it's an excuse for me to grow up, get rich, and get popped manufacturing meth...

Pryor's lawyer plans to appeal 5-game suspension
This is a question of character. Terelle Pryor only became "ineligible" to play in college sometime after he decided he was going to skip the next year because of his suspension and other things with "The Ohio State" football team. So my guess is that he was in pro money mode drinking the 1st round Kool Aid Rosenhaus was pushing to him and school was no longer a priority.. Personally if he had a free ride to an education and couldn't provide enough self motivation to pursue it.. but rather made the "assumption" that he could go pro through the supplenmental draft that's his bad..
BOTTOM LINE- He broke the rules and thought he was too smart to serve the suspension.. In the end he got got... I agree with the decision- The NCAA is the premier breeding ground for NFL Talent... these prospects should know that their character is watched. This wasn't because Terelle was selling memorbilia, it was because he tried to beat the system... lucky he was allowed into the supplemental draft at all..

Comments about 'Jimmer Fredette, Sacramento Kings reportedly close to a buyout agreement'
- Oldest first

The much anticipated match-up of Jimmer and Lillard never really happened. Jimmer's Senior year Lillard broke his foot and was out of the line-up in BYU's 72-66 win at Weber State. Other than that they played head-to-head twice. Lillard's Freshman year Lillard had 2 points in 23 minutes of play while Fredette had 18 points with a few more minutes (which was Jimmer's Sophomore year), and Lillard's Sophomore he scored 23 points and Jimmer (Junior year)scored 23 points as well. I wouldn't call that dominating head-to-head unless you really want to count Lillard's Freshman year. If that makes you feel like you can justify Jimmer ahead of Lillard, sure go ahead and do it. A Rookie-of-the-Year trophy, NBA All-Star selection, and the overwhelming consensus of NBA players and scouts suggest otherwise, but the yokels at the DesNews Sports Staff might agree with you.

OK if that is the game you want to play, Jimmer won several NPOY awards. How many did Lillard win?
Look, I'm happy for Lillards (and Miller's) accomplishments in the NBA. He deserves them and I have stated as such. I am just defending Fredette against the trolls who ignorantly say he doesn't belong in the NBA.

I was just calling you out for the "dominating Lillard head-to-head". That was total nonsense. Lillard didn't get as much national attention as he played in a smaller school and conference. I am not sure he wouldn't have won NPOY if he was focused on that. If he stuck around for his senior year, I think he would have been one of the favorites to win it. Did you know he skipped his senior year as he was a lock for a high pick in the NBA draft? I bet many Cougar fans and DesNews Sports Reporters don't know that.
Jimmer is a great shooter, but as Gene Hackman once said, "there is more to the game than shooting, there's fundamentals and defense." This is why all the NBA scouts knew Lillard would be a better player. He was talented in all areas.
Hey, I think Jimmer is a neat person. He's an inspiration to church basketball hogs everywhere. I hope he gets another shot to prove himself. I just don't see him having a starting role in the NBA. I wish him nothing but the best.

Everybody knows he can score. That was never the debate. The fact is, teams want a point guard who can run an offense and create opportunities for other players. Nobody has a need for a one-dimensional PG, who is also a liability on D.

The Backwards Life of Sam Klemke
(YouTube link)
Sam Klemke videotaped himself every year for 35 years, clips of which are presented backwards, so you can watch him watch him grow (or shrink, rather) into a 20-year-old wearing bell bottoms and platform shoes. The sound quality does fade in the earlier clips. I found this fascinating, since he is close to my age. -via reddit

IRA-accused suffered heart attack in custody court told.
THE trial date of a Derry man accused of offences relating to murder bids on security force members has been postponed after he suffered a heart attack in custody, a court has been told.
Christopher O'Kane (42), of Woodland Avenue in the city was due to stand trial next month on a total of 17 Provisional IRA-related offences, including an attempt to murder a senior RUC officer more than two decades ago. Barrister Andrew Moriaty, defending handed into court a report from a consultant cardiologist into O'Kane's current medical condtition. He

Campaigner to speak at 'Craigavon Two event
THE mother of an English man jailed under joint enterprise laws spoke on Thursday night August 6th 2015 at an event organised by supporters of two men wrongly convicted of killing RUC/PSNI constable Stephen Carroll.
Jan Cunliffe traveled from England to Belfast to speak at the annual event organised by Justice for the Craigavon Two. Her son Jordan was given a life sentence after he was convicted under joint enterprise laws of murdering a man in Wigan in 2007. Ms Cunliffe is a member of the campaign group Jengba – Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association – and her story inspired award-wining filmmaker Jimmy McGovern to make the acclaimed film Common,
Free DD McLaughlin – End British Internment by Remand
FREE DD McLaughlin who has been held on remand for 19 months charged with murder.
In several court appearances the RUC/PSNI, MI5 and the Public Prosecution Service (PPS), have told the court they have no evidence but are hoping to get some at some stage. The silence of all the politicans on this travesty and mockery of justice is speaking volumes about their attitude to the abuse of human and civil rights.

The families of Elizabeth McDonald and Gerard McGleenan (murdered at their homes in Keady, County Armagh, on 16 August 1976) thank everyone who has supported them by coming to the Coroner's Court.
Elizabeth was aged 38, a former nurse, the mother of three young boys and and a loving wife to Malachi. She was killed at their home, the "Step Inn" in Keady.
Gerard was aged 22, a keen GAA player, the son of Patrick (RIP) and Maureen and a young man with everything to live for. He died as he left his home directly opposite the "Step Inn".
Twenty-five people were also injured in the explosion, some seriously, while others were profoundly and permanently psychology scarred.
RUC Special Branch officers knew about the bomb plans ten days before the explosion. The HET report makes it absolutely clear that the RUC could have prevented the bombing.
Special Branch knew a car had been stolen by the UDA on the Shankill Road in Belfast (taken from a police officer).
The local RUC divisional commander ordered surveillance on another police officer's farm in South Armagh – the home of James Mitchell, an RUC reservist. This was where the bomb was moved into the stolen car.
Another police officer, John Weir, scouted the original bomb route across the border into the Republic.
The gang were aware they were being watched, yet inexplicably they did not flee the scene, but merely changed their target from south of the border to the "Step Inn" in Keady – a cross-community bar with no paramilitary or political links.
After the bombing, Special Branch failed to give any of this information to investigating officers and, as a result, no-one involved was arrested or brought before the courts although their identities were known.
The families were never informed that the police could have prevented the bombings. Nor were they informed until recently that RUC Special Branch officers knew the identity of all those involved.
The HET has called the RUC's handling of the case "catastrophic".
The McGleenan and McDonald families trust the Coroner will do his best to assist them in their quest for truth. Both families hope the two governments and the political parties will reach agreement on a truth recovery process which all families deserve and which society needs.

RUC/PSNI forced into U-turn are now to probe activities of shadowy MRF
"Any 'fair-minded' person can see that these people firing were from a 'renegade unit' within the British army" – Patrica McVeigh.
RUC/PSNI is to investigate the activities of a shadowy British army unit operating in the North of Ireland in the 1970s – despite earlier ruling out action against former soldiers.
The RUC/PSNI had ruled out an investigation into the actions of members of the Military Reaction Force (MRF) despite alleged admissions of criminality by soldiers during a television documentary. During the Panorrama programme ex-members claimed they "took the war to the IRA" in the early years of the Troubles. Some soldiers from the controversial unit, which apparently disbanded after 14 months, told journalist John Ware about their involvement in the MRF, including shooting dead several unarmed civilians. Director of Public Prosecutions Barbra McGrory, took the unprecedented step of asking police to investigate the contents of the documentary. However, the families of two unarmed civilians murdered by the undercover unit were told there would be no investigation after Chief Constable Drew Harris said there was no evidence of any crime. Solicitor Padraig O Muirigh, who represents the families of Pat McVeigh (44) and Daniel Rooney (18) said at the time they planned to apply for a judicial review into the decision. Mr O Muirigh, had voiced concerns that no investigative steps had been taken and no effort made to trace or question the former soldiers who had participated in the documentary.
However, as they were preparing to launch a High Court challenge to force the police to investigate the contents of the programme, the RUC/PSNI confirmed they would now investigate the army unit. The Public Prosecution Service confirmed in writing this week that they had been given assurances by the RUC/PSNI that a full investigation would now commence and steps taken to identify the soldiers. Senior RUC/PSNI officer Detective Chief Inspector Brian Hanna has been appointed to take on the case and draw up an "investigative strategy". "I am now satisfied with these steps and I will keep the matter under review", Mr McGrory said in a letter informing the families this week. Patricia McVeigh's father Pat, who was one of those murdered by an MRF patrol, welcomed the development. "We hope Brian Hanna will do a good and thorough job in investigating these men. We would also request a meeting with Mr Hanna and the new chief constable as soon as possible. "We were fobbed of for six months as indeed was the DPP Barbra McGrory. "Any 'fair-minded' person can see these people firing were from a 'renegade unit' within the British army". Mr O Muirigh said the new investigation must look at the entire 40-man unit and not just isolated incidents. "What we don't want is for this investigation to be placed into the hands of the Historical Enquiries Team (HET). We've been told a senior investigating officer has been appointed and that's to be welcomed," he said. "It is also important that the families meet with the senior investigating officer and the incoming Chief Constable George Hamilton at the soonest opportunity for reassurance that a thorough investigation will now be carried out. "We will be calling for this investigation to look at the entire unit and not just those who took part in the Panorama programme.

Ombudsman launches legal action against the Chief Constable Matt (the maggot) Baggott and the RUC/PSNI
Watchdog says police 'have stalled' investigations into deaths
THE RUC/PSNI is facing legal action from the Police Ombudsman, which accuses it of refusing to provide information about more than 60 deaths. The BBC understands that the Ombudsman has been trying to find out if police acted on information it was given prior to a dissident republican bomb attack. Weeks later, Constable Peadar Heffron was seriously injured in a car bombing. Michael Maguire has served notice on the RUC/PSNI over its alleged failure to provide his investigators with material and said his inquiries had been stalled. The ombudsman's office's judicial reveiw will seek to compel the RUC/PSNI to provide the ombudsman with information. Dr Maguire said: "We cannot have a situation where a public body, and particularly the police, can decide whether or not it will cooperate with a criminal or misconduct investigation, particularly where legislation requires them to do so." The ombudsman handles complaints about the conduct of officers and has undertaken a series of hard-hitting investigations that found serious faults, although in many other cases exonerating detectives. Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) chief constable Sir Hugh Orde, who formerly headed the RUC/PSNI, has called for a similar regulatory system to be introduced across the UK. Dr Maguire, pictured below said despite repeated requests over past months, the RUC/PSNI has on more than 100 occasions either refused to provide information to his office or has said it must first explain and jusify why the material is wanted.
He said: "The police have taken the view that they will decide whether or not to provide us with information and in many cases have now decided not to." He said the legal action was unusual and unfortunate but necessary, adding: "The many thousands of people who make complaints to us every year do so on the basis that we have access to all the police information we need to independently investigate their complaint. "That principle is enshined in law and accepted across the community. Investigation by negotiation is not acceptable." An RUC/PSNI spokesman said the organisation has a legal responsibility for the care and management of all information which must be taken extremely seriously. "At the same time the PSNI also recognises the statutory responsibility to provide information to the Police Ombudsman, enabling exercise of his functions and legal responsibilities. "Police are currently seeking to agree a solution with PONI around these complicated, and sometimes unfortunately competing, legal issues. "We will continue to furfil our legal obligations with the primary consideration being that of protecting life in accordance with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human rights The ." Steps to protect life taken by the police in public fora like inquests have included the ommission of the Northern Ireland Secretary, which might identify some witnesses (informers) deemed to be at risk. The police spokesman said: "Until we can get a resolution, PSNI beleives that it has resonded aporopriately to each request, giving careful consideration on a case by case basis, to ensure that the respective legal requirements are met. "PSNI will continue to work with PONI to seek an agreement over our respective obligations and ensure we both have a shared understanding of the legal framework." In September the ombudsman signed an agreement with chief constable Matt (the maggot) Baggott covering how requests are made and related procedures. The ombudsman's office said: "However, investigations into the circumstances surronding more than 60 deaths/murders – both those from the past and more recently – have now been stalled by an RUC/PSNI refusal to provide certain material." A spokeswomen for the Policing Board said: "Police cooperation and provision of information to the institutions with legislative responsibility for delevering independent oversight and accountability of the PSNI is critical. "The appilcation for leave for a judicial reveiw by the Police Ombudsman is very significant and a matter of great concern. Board members will discuss this with the chief constable at its meeting this week." Chief Constable Matt (the maggot) Baggott also anounced yesterday that he was stepping down earlily. He was due to retire at the end of August, but his departure has been brought forward. Mr Baggott was due to retire at the end of August but now will be leaving at the end of this month.

THE McDEVITT FAMILY SUPPORT THE DAY OF ACTION, DUBLIN, JUNE 14TH
"My brother Eamon was shot dead by the Royal Marine Commandos on 18th August 1971. He was the first person to be murdered in Strabane."
"Eamon was 28-years-old. He was deaf and mute, but he was a happy man. Eamon had friends; he could communicate; he enjoyed having a laugh. Eamon was well known and loved in the community. A few days after he was murdered Eamon's friends from St Joseph's school in Dublin held a silent demonstratio against the actions of the British Army. They marched to the British Embassy and delivered a letter in protest of what happened to Eamon. The British Army shot and killed my brother. They branded him a gun man. This is despite the numerous eye witnesses who could testify that this was lies. We have never given up on justice and tried to pursure our case in Europe. For 8 years we engaged with the Historical Enquiries Team (HET) and received some draft reports that regurgitated the lies of the Army at the time. We were waiting on a final report when the HET were suspended. Now they want the RUC/PSNI to investigate the past. The British Government is playing a waiting game. It has been 43 years since Eamon was murdered. I have lost two sisters and a brother since then. How long will they keep us waiting? They throw you a few crumbs to try and keep you happy, but never the full truth and justice. The McDevitt family want an apology for what happened to Eamon. We want them to say they are sorry and they were wrong for what they did."

NI Retired Police Officers Association (NIRPOA)'S Judicial Review against OPONI in 'Good Samaritan' case rejected by court.
Judge Seamus Treacy has rejected the judicial review being brought by the NIRPOA against the Police Ombudsman in the 'Good Samaritan' case.
The NIRPO rejected the findings of the OPONI report, published last July, that found that the RUC failed in their duty to advice the local community or its leaders of possible IRA activities in the area, they failed in their responsibility to uphold Mr Dalton's right to life under Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights, and they failed to properly investigate the death of Mr Dalton and Mrs Lewis. Gerard Curran also died as a result of his injuries a few months later.
This action was brought out of time, with no good reason being provided by the NIRPOA for the delay. Justice Treacy also strongly criticized the NIRPOA for initiation the action without informing the Dalton family, who had to learn about it through the press. This caused unnecessary trauma to the Dalton family.

R.I.P Peter McBride Murdered in cold blood by the British Army on this day 4th September 1992.
Remember Peter McBride today. On 4 September 1992, the unarmed, 18-year-old father of two young daughters was shot dead by two Scots Guardsmen in the New Lodge area of Belfast. Guardsmen Mark Wright and James Fisher stopped, searched and questioned McBride; and then, as he was walking away, Wright and Fisher shot him dead from a range of 70 yards, hitting him twice in the back.
The two soldiers were taken to Girdwood Army Barracks, where the RUC were denied access to them for at least 10 hours. But the next day, Wright and Fisher were charged with murder.
In February 1995, Wright and Fisher were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. At their trial, the two claimed that they shot at McBride because they believed he was "carrying a coffee-jar bomb." However, Lord Chief Justice Kelly concluded that Wright and Fisher had plenty of time to determine what McBride was carrying, if anything, when they searched him. Moreover, in his ruling, Kelly wrote that the two guardsmen had "lied about critical elements of their version of events…and deliberately chose to put forward a version which they both knew to be untrue."
Still, Wright and Fisher each served only six years of their life-term sentences! In September 1998, just two days before the sixth anniversary of McBride's murder, the two were released and permitted to resume serving in the british army, where they both received promotions!
In 2003, Wright was discharged from the army for medical reasons following a shooting injury to his wrist that he sustained in Iraq, but Fisher remains as a soldier serving in the British army

Concrete producers might be interested to learn how other segments of the construction industry are fairing in these uncertain economic times. In October, the editors of PROSALES magazine, a Hanley Wood publication which focuses on the lumber supply industry, surveyed their readers on how they were surviving the credit crunch.
PROSALES reported most lumber dealers say the credit crisis hasn't hurt them much, partly because they borrow from banks sparingly. Dealers that are feeling heat from their banks often said it's because of their customers' trouble getting and paying construction loans.

NTSB doesn't find evidence of fire before truck slammed into bus in Calif.
RED BLUFF, Calif. — Federal investigators said on Sunday that they haven't found physical evidence confirming a witness' claim that a FedEx truck was on fire before it slammed into a bus carrying high school students, killing 10 people in northern California.
National Transportation Safety Board member Mark Rosekind said investigators are not ruling out a pre-impact fire, but a fire expert did not find evidence of flames as the truck crossed a median, sideswiped a Nissan Altima and crashed into the bus.
"This is all preliminary and factual information," Rosekind said at a news conference. "We are not ruling anything out."
The bus was carrying 44 southern California high school students to a free campus tour of Humboldt State University. Many were hoping to become the first in their families to attend college. Five students, three adult chaperones and both drivers died, and dozens were injured in the collision on Thursday in Orland, a small city about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
Bonnie Duran, who drove the Altima and survived with minor injuries, told investigators and reporters on Saturday that she had seen flames emerging from the lower rear of the truck's cab as it approached her car. The bus was gutted, and the truck was a mangled mess when an explosion sent flames towering and black smoke billowing, making it difficult for investigators to track the source of the fire.

Any thoughts on how we can make sure that the last name field has two or more letters (without doing each letter individually as a separate check, as above). Other thoughts on how to validate last names more effectively would be helpful as well.

GermanyxReader - Don't Expect AnythingYou could feel the heat radiating off your cheeks, as you tried to keep up with the beat of the song that you were listening to. Your breath came out in short, heavy pants, but you still pushed yourself, tried to keep on going.
Because, if you didn't, you knew-
"[Name]! Don't slack! Keep on going!"
Yes. THAT would happen.
You turned around to see your German boyfriend jogging right behind you.
W-wait...wasn't he JUST in front of me? And why is he JOGGING, yet...faster than me?
Not being able to form coherent sentences, you just nodded.
"Just one more lap." He called, as he ran past, ignoring the baleful glares that you sent him behind his back.
Your eyes trailed him, following him across the track, until he came to a stop. Grabbing the nearest bottle of water, he drunk some and then poured some on to his face. The hair that he meticulously kept slicked back was falling on his face now, and you gritted your teeth.
Glancing quickly behind you, you noticed Kiku prodding Feliciano t

Gilbert scoffed, interrupting his younger brother. "When we say talk, we don't mean "Oh, hey [Name], nice weather, isn't it?" We mean actually talk!"
"Vee~" Feliciano decided now would be a good time to step in and help his confused friend. "What he means is that you should speak to her like you speak to us!"
Ludwig was even more confused than before. "But, what do you mean just-"
"You can't speak to her about your DVD collection, though. Heck, that'd probably put her off..."
"Bruder!" was all that Ludwig could exclaim.
"Well, if she is your friend, and we are your friends, then just talk to her like you talk to us!" Feliciano continued. Both Ludwig and Gilbert paused to turn around and listen to the Italian. "And if bella [Name] feels the same way that you do for her, you'll both become good friends, no?"

"It's for a good cause, after all." He replied politely, as he shook her hand.
"Oh, that's right!" She exclaimed, all of a sudden. "We did meet at a pet store, so I wanted to ask...do you have any pets?"
He nodded, in reply. "Three dogs."
"Three dogs?" Her eyes seemed to light up with joy. "What are their names?"
"Uh...Blackie, Berlitz a-and Aster." He looked away from her, all of a sudden, hoping that she had not noticed his slight stutter. He had many topics in mind, on what she could talk about polite chatter and such, but...his dogs? He was absolutely unprepared for that!

"...Ja."He replied, after a pause. "But...are you sure that this will work?"
Gilbert laughed. "Oh, don'tcha worry, West! Feliciano and I spent ages on this list! It's foolproof!" Ludwig bit back his comment about how this list was made by people whom he could consider 'fools' just in time.
Involuntarily clearing his throat, he looked at the list that he was holding. His brother's messy handwriting was scrawled all over a page, and there seemed to be...doodles made by Feliciano all around the edge of the paper.

Ludwig looked at the list in his hand. What would it mean to "look good", anyway? Would it involve him wearing what he usually left aside for special occasions, or-
"Ciao, Ludwig!" He heard an all-too familiar voice, making him jump. Slowly turning towards the doorway of his bedroom, he was met with the sight of a hyper-active Italian.
NOT a good thing.
"Gilbert sent me to help you with the next thing on your list!" He chirped. Ludwig felt his headache coming back, stronger than ever.

Ludwig winced, but he still remained silent. "The quieter I am, the less interruptions there will be, and the quicker this will be over," he thought. Yet, when the tailor jabbed him with yet another pin, he felt his anger slipping all the more.
