Man gets 18 years for killing wifeNovember 10,2012Man gets 18 years
for killing wife
ST. JOHNSBURY A 51-year-old Vermont man is going to prison for 18 years for killing his wife in the parking lot of a St. Johnsbury mall after she threatened to leave him.
Benjamin Berwick, of Lyndon, pleaded guilty in July to second-degree murder in the December 2009 stabbing death of his estranged wife Anna outside the Green Mountain Mall.
WCAX-TV reported that at Fridays sentencing hearing in St. Johnsbury, Anna Berwicks relatives called Benjamin Berwick a monster and an evil man. They said they did not believe the sentence was harsh enough.
Benjamin Berwick was taken into custody shortly after his wifes killing.
He was suffering from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The lipid transfer protein (LTP), Pru p 3, has been identified as the major allergen present in peach, and its sequence obtained by direct amino acid sequencing has been previously reported. However, several sequences, obtained from c-DNA and available in databases, show differences among them and from the originally proposed structure. In this paper, we report the fast and unambiguous determination of the structure of Pru p 3 protein, extracted from three different varieties of peach, by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), both coupled to single stage (quadrupole) or advanced (FT-HRMS) analyzers. The structure was identical to one of the cDNA-derived sequences and different in two positions from the previously reported structure obtained by amino acid sequencing. Moreover, the exclusive localization of the protein in the outer part of the fruits was assessed by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI MSI). The results reported here demonstrate the full potential of mass spectrometry for rapidly obtaining high quality structural data of relevant food proteins. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Product Description
From the Inside Flap
Many, many adults name this book as their favorite Little Golden Book. Generations of kids have interacted with lovable, furry old Grover as he begs the reader not to turn the page--for fear of a monster at the end of the book. "Oh, I am so embarrassed," he says on the last page . . . for, of course, the monster is Grover himself! This all-time favorite is now available as a Big Little Golden Book--perfect for lap-time reading.
About the Author
Jon Stone was the first head writer for Sesame Street and was one of the show's principal directors and producers for over 24 years.

This is the only book I remember my dad reading to me - EVER. (Probably because I asked for it a million times!!) He would act the parts out and change his voice and I would roll on the floor with laughter. When it came to Grover's antics, my dad would pretend that the pages really *were* stuck together. He'd grunt and groan and s-l-o-w-l-y turn the pages.
I read it to my kids - my children and students alike - in the same manner. And you know what? Everyone rolls on the floor giggling. Everyone has a good time.
I highly recommend this one - it is a great story about the wacky ways we devise to avoid what we think we fear. BUT, it is also a great way to build memories that will last forever with your children.
Basically, I'm a college student who was so profoundly touched by this work of book that I must stress its greatness to those generations that look up to me so dearly (yes, all of them). Essentially, the repeated reading of this book at an early age for me created a lens through which all other works of suspense were viewed and interpreted. Needless to say, Hitchcock never did it for me, and waiting for twists at the end of "The Twilight Zone" was like waiting for crust at the end of a piece of pizza.
No, not a single work of suspense could top this one. Told in the most ominous second person, protagonist Grover implores the reader not to turn the pages, for there is, as the title may suggest, a flesh eating virus hidden within the pages of the book itself. Just kidding, there's actually a monster at the end of the book, and if you wish to ignore the age-old adage that "curiousity killed the cat," then you just might find this out for yourself. (I, on Grover's recommendation, did not in fact turn the pages for several months after starting the book, until my mommy assured me that it was okay. Needless to say, I trust my own mother over a Muppet.)
At the risk of giving away any scant fragment of the ending, I must cease my review here. But be forewarned, the trip to the end of the book will be a thrilling one.Read more ›
That was a long time ago, and I now have the pleasure of passing on this story to kids myself. If you've read it, you know how fun it is. If you haven't, here's the gist of it:
1-There's a monster at the end of the book (just like the title says!).
2-Loveable Grover wants NOTHING to do with that monster.
3-So he pleads, begs, and implores the reader not to turn the page so that they don't get to the end of the book (with its monster!).
4-Which of course, it being a book, the reader does.
5-Grover then tries all kinds of ways of stopping the reader from turning the pages, but again, it being a book, the reader does.
6-It ends with a surprise ending is a ton of fun for kids.
Two things makes this book so much fun. First, the book really lends itself to being read with funny voices, loud exclamations, and all kinds of fun effects that kids love (like another reviewer said, pretending the pages are stuck, or to heavy to life, is a great favorite). Second, and I think most importantly, the book lets kids disobey a direct order. They get to act "bad" by turning the page. On one level, turning pages against someone begging you in fear not to isn't too nice. But the fact that this is a book gives kids free license to do so- in fact, they're meant to! So no matter how much you beg or plead, kids just REALLY want to turn to the next page! The funny tone, the great pictures, the suspense, all reinforce that this really is a fun book.Read more ›
I liked this book because it was by Sesame Street and it was funny. I think that a lot of little kids would like to read this book because it was surprising who the monster was really at the end of the book. And it showed you not to be afraid of all monsters and all monsters are not really that bad. I also liked this book because it was short and just about any little kid would enjoy it and they could read it too. I recommend this book for any kid. It is very enjoyable.

My 14 year old daughter and 12 year old daughter have both expressed a desire to not return to their father's house for visitation. My 14 year old expressed this to him to which her father stated he would contact his lawyer if she was not at his house on the specified custody day.
Family Law Attorney
In the State of Missouri, judges have the ultimate discretion. The statues state that children have a say when they get older, usually around 14. If your daughters' have expressed a strong preference, when you file your Motion to Modity the Judge will appoint a Guardian ad Litem. Your daughters will have to express their preference to the Guardian ad Litem.
Child Custody Lawyer
Custodial preference of a child is one of the factors that a court considers in awarding parenting time (viisitation), but not the only factor. The Court would want to know what is going on at the father's home, and why the kids do not want to return. The what and the why would be very important, on the final outcome. Probably time to visit with your attorney.

Film crew from Washington brings undersea world to Raceland
Published: Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 11:15 p.m.
RACELAND When Claudette Pitre opened her bed and breakfast in Raceland, she figured shed be meeting people from all over the world. Some of them might even be famous.
Pitre got a taste of fame when she played host to Alexandra Cousteau, granddaughter of famed explorer and ecologist Jacques Cousteau and Cousteaus film crew when they were in the area recently.
I got a call about three days before their arrival from Washington, D.C., Pitre said. They asked me if I could accommodate seven people for one night. I said yes. Then they said it was Alexandra Cousteau. I felt very honored.
Cousteau was in Louisiana as part of her Blue Legacy project, a five-continent, 100-day journey to tell the story of our water planet to the world, to inspire people to take action on critical water issues in meaningful ways and to help shape societys dialogue to include water as one of the defining issues of our century, according to the groups Web site.
Cousteaus interest in the Mississippi River focuses on the low-oxygen dead zones in the Gulf at the mouth of the river.
The group had been busy filming a blessing of the fleet during the day, and when they got to Pitres, they just kept right on working.
They arrived around 10:30 p.m. Saturday night, and it was like they were in a great rush, Pitre said. They had two cars full of equipment. And they all kind of tumbled out of the car into my kitchen, followed by 20 bags of luggage. You couldnt even walk in the kitchen; the floor was completely covered.
And immediately they had their cameras out, their computers, battery packs, to look at the footage of the blessing of the fleet. They were editing and getting on the Internet, planning for the next day.
There was one notable exception to the hustle and bustle, however.
They sent Alexandra straight to bed, Pitre said. I wouldnt say they treated her like a queen, but she was definitely the princess.
And as quickly as they arrived, they were gone.
It all happened so fast, Pitre said. Ive got all these people, and theyre running around doing all this stuff, and the next thing you know, boom, theyre up early in the morning and gone.
Pitre said the group appreciated all the Cajun hospitality.
They said that I gave them something a hotel could never give, she said. A real home, a real kitchen, a real person. They said that for one night, I was their mother, and I was there for them, whatever they needed.

Sept. 11, 2009
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- For the third time in two weeks, the Colorado State volleyball team has handed a previously undefeated opponent its first loss of the season, adding the Marshall Thundering Herd to a list that already included Georgia Southern and Ohio State.
The Rams, playing in the first match of the 2009 Carolina Classic hosted by the University of North Carolina at the Dean E. Smith Center, used a double-double performance by junior outside hitter Jacque Davisson, to hand Marshall, who opened the season 7-0, its first loss of the 2009 campaign. The Rams returned to the win column, bouncing back from a loss at Duke on Wednesday, and improving to 5-3 with two matches left on the weekend slate.
After a closely contested first set, and a 10-point blowout in set 2, the Rams closed out the victory in thrilling fashion with a 28-26 victory in the final set. Trailing by as many as six points, 18-12, and all but dead with the Rams leading 24-21 and match-point on the line, Marshall came back to tie the set at 24, and took a 25-24 lead before the Rams tied it again on a kill by junior outside hitter Danielle Minch.
Davisson, who played exceptionally well for the Rams, recorded a kill to give the Rams a 26-25 advantage, but the Thundering Herd evened the game at 26. A key block by true freshman Dana Cranston and redshirt freshman Brieon Paige on Marshall's Kristin Marcus, gave the Rams a 27-26 advantage and sent senior libero Katelin Batten back to serve match point. Batten's serve proved to be the final serve of the match, as MU's Emily Sullivan couldn't convert on an attack opportunity, giving the Rams the 28-26 victory and a 3-0 sweep.
Batten set the tone early on for CSU, serving the Rams to a 4-0 lead to start the first set, but it was Davisson who sparked the Rams offensively, leading to the CSU victory.
"Jacque led the way for us in this match," said Head Coach Tom Hilbert following the victory. "She played outstanding volleyball today; it was one of her best."
Davisson posted a double-double with 11 kills and 11 digs to lead the Rams, along with Minch who recorded a match-high 13 kills to lead the Rams for the seventh time in eight matches this season. Davisson hit .333 in the match.
Senior middle blocker Tessa Nelson added nine kills and three blocks, while Paige, who was playing in just her third career match after breaking into the Rams' lineup for the first time last week, recorded six kills on .462 hitting to go along with two blocks.
Cranston was held to just two kills, but added a match-high four total blocks to help the Rams to the big win. Cranston also added 10 digs, joining Davisson (11) and Batten (22) in double figures, and three assists. Sophomore setter Evan Sanders recorded 32 assists, her seventh consecutive match with at least 30 assists.
The Rams resume play at the Carolina Classic tomorrow, taking on the Tennessee Lady Volunteers at 11 a.m. MT, before squaring off with the Tar Heels on their home court at 5:30 p.m. MT.
The game will be broadcast live in Fort Collins on KCSU (90.5 FM). Streaming audio is also available via All-Access subscription on CSURams.com. Live statistics can also be found on CSURams.com by clicking on the "Gametracker" icon from the volleyball schedule/results page.

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables a wide range of application scenarios with potentially critical actuating and sensing tasks, e.g., in the e-health domain. For communication at the application layer, resource-constrained devices are expected to employ the constrained application protocol (CoAP) that is currently being standardized at the Internet Engineering Task Force. To protect the transmission of sensitive information, secure CoAP mandates the use of datagram transport layer security (DTLS) as the underlying security protocol for authenticated and confidential communication. DTLS, however, was originally designed for comparably powerful devices that are interconnected via reliable, high-bandwidth links. In this paper, we present Lithe-an integration of DTLS and CoAP for the IoT. With Lithe, we additionally propose a novel DTLS header compression scheme that aims to significantly reduce the energy consumption by leveraging the 6LoWPAN standard. Most importantly, our proposed DTLS header compression scheme does not compromise the end-to-end security properties provided by DTLS. Simultaneously, it considerably reduces the number of transmitted bytes while maintaining DTLS standard compliance. We evaluate our approach based on a DTLS implementation for the Contiki operating system. Our evaluation results show significant gains in terms of packet size, energy consumption, processing time, and network-wide response times when compressed DTLS is enabled.

All Rise...
Judge Brett Cullum finds this film has only two out of three when it comes to sexy, stylish, and smart.
The Charge
Me love you long time…
The Case
Strapped is about a hustler performing endless tricks in a maze-like apartment complex. It's supposed to be a journey of self-discovery, an Alice in Wonderland where a hooker finds himself going down several various holes in order to find himself. It's sexy, but oh so tedious, and it feels like an endless parade of gay stereotypes and clichés. We have the somewhat chubby dark haired hustler (new comer Ben Bonenfant) and his interchangeable stash of johns. There's a shy inexperienced Russian soldier, an obnoxious coke head, the homophobic on-the-down-low married guy, a hairy older muscle man, and a hopeless romantic to name just a few. We see most of them in various states of undress, and they all have tedious monologues indicating how empty they feel or how wise they are. The whole thing is well filmed and has a nice look to it, it's just too bad the story is so thin and played out. In the script they give a nod to My Own Private Idaho, and that just made me wish I was watching that far better film. The saving grace is that everybody is pretty, and they all look good partially clothed.
TLA Releasing gives us yet another strong disc featuring a pretty transfer and some nice extras. The widescreen film looks great, and that showcases the best parts of Strapped. Flesh tones are spot on, reds pop, and black levels are just fine. There are two choices for the soundtrack including a full surround treatment as well as simple stereo. Extras include an interview with the lead actor, a short film that inspired the feature which is labeled a screen test, and a couple of music videos. In all honesty the film would have worked better as a short or music video rather than a feature length film.
Strapped is a pretty cheap date by hooker standards. There's not much story here, but it does have a certain come hither style that diehard gay cinema fans might be fooled by. Certainly an attractive cast photographed naked and in enough light is enough to get a gay audience. The bad thing is that it could all be so much more, but settles for being pretty instead of clever. The DVD has enough extras to make things seem deeper than they are. TLA always seems to do a good job even when the product they are peddling is B-grade.
The Verdict
Guilty of looking good without any smarts, Strapped is sexy but

Kansas Uses Sex Toy Auction To Help Close Budget Gap
CREDIT: Shutterstock
They may be squeezing school budgets and undermining public services, but Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's (R) trickle-down tax cuts are at least bringing joy to one unlikely group: people looking to spice up their sex lives.
After seizing inventory from a chain of adult novelty shops that had not paid state taxes, the state set up an auction to allow the owner to pay back his debts. The proceeds from auctioning off hundreds of pornographic videos alongside vibrating underwear, bondage tape, handcuffs, paddles, and thousands of other adult items will go to the Kansas Department of Revenue and any other creditors from the stores the state shut down in July. The department returned the items to the owner on the condition that he auction off the seized property in order to pay his debts.
The man who owned the five Bang stores had failed to pay the state nearly $164,000 in taxes, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Kansas' projected budget shortfall between now and 2016 is well over $200 million.
Brownback created that budget hole by slashing the state's tax rates repeatedly since winning the job in 2010. Under his leadership, he pledged that Kansas would be a "real, live experiment" with conservative small-government economic policies, and promised the experiment would produce job growth. His tax cuts were targeted primarily to the wealthy and to businesses. Brownback's push went further than national-level Republican anti-tax politicians are able to go: he eliminated all taxes on income reported through a small business entity rather than through regular wages.
In addition to criticizing the top-heavy nature of Brownback's tax cuts, opponents warned at the time that the governor's policies would put large holes in Kansas' already-stretched budget. Now that the tax cuts have had time to kick in, that warning is proving prescient.
For just one three-month period this spring, the state collected $334 million less than it had anticipated. The state's budget officials expect a further $245 million shortfall from the 2017, 2018, and 2019 fiscal years.
Even prior to Brownback's tax cuts, the state was underfunding its school system so severely that the Kansas Supreme Court found its education budget unconstitutional. The cuts have made that difficult problem impossible to solve, and the best response that Kansas legislators have been able to find to the court's demands is a budget scheme that "[takes] from Peter to pay Paul," in the words of one of the lawyers who brought the school funding case.
If his policies had produced the boom times he promised, maybe these budget restraints wouldn't be inflicting such pain. But instead of unleashing growth in Kansas, the state's economy is floundering. Poverty is rising in the state. After 20 years of keeping pace with the national economy, Kansas has now fallen behind the national average for economic growth. Kansas officials say that personal income growth will lag the national income growth rate this year and again in 2015. The state even lost its AA+ credit rating on government debts from Standard & Poors in August after the agency decided the fiscal situation required a downgrade.
With Brownback's government auctioning sex toys to try to keep its budget holes from gaping any wider, it might be tempting to charge the conservative Christian governor with hypocrisy. Brownback's political career is built as much on social conservatism as fiscal conservatism, and his fellow Republicans in the state House of Representatives have voted twice in recent years to impose restrictions on exactly the kinds of adult businesses that fell prey to tax seizures earlier this summer.
But since it is illegal to destroy seized property, auction arrangements like this are standard operating procedure for tax cases that can't be resolved more simply, Department of Revenue spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said in an interview.
"This is a business that is able to operate legally in Kansas that was not paying its taxes, and when we have gone through a whole series of [collection] attempts that have failed" such as tax liens and banking levies, Koranda explained, shutting a company down is the last resort. "We're handling this just like we have other seizures."
