Symantec Endpoint Protection will not install
I have been attempting to install the corporate edition of Symantec Endpoint Protection and keep getting the message it was interupted and it wont install. I have used the troubleshooter and rolled to Vista but it still will not install. It starts and the it rolls itself back and says try to repeat instalation. This version is for windows Vista, both the 32 bit and 64 bit system. Any help would be appreciated.

Honorbound,Did you try to run the SEP installer in "windows vista compatiblity mode".On the following link you can find more information on how to run in the windows vista compatiblity mode.http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/Does this resolve your issue?Kind RegardsDFTIM me

I have tried both the service pack 1 and 2 vista as well as vista and it continues to say it was interupted during the install process. This is version 11.0.1 symantenc enpoint for home use. This program will install on an untouched service pack 1 of vista as it has been installed on another computer with this system, just windows 7 it will not install. Something seems to be interuping the install process.

Symantec is working on Windows 7 compatibility for their System Endpoint Protection product. The version you are using is definitely not working on Windows 7 RC. The latest version mentioned in the Symantec forums is 11.0.4202.More information is available at http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/windows-7-rcRay

Honorbound,I found some users who successfull could install SEP on windows 7 beta(Build7000) and windows 7 RC1 (build 7100).With the following procedure. Before you start try to download the latest version of SEP from symantec. 1. Run LUSETUP.EXE from the SEP client folder 2. Click Yes to install LiveUpdate (this might be hidden by another window) 3. <wait while LU installs> 4. Click OK (this too might be hidden by another window) 5. REBOOT THE COMPUTER 6. Logon again 7. Double click setup.exe from the SEP client folder 8. Walk through the install wizard 9. Let it run LiveUpdate (if you chose to, or used Typical) 10. RebootDoes this resolves your problem?Kind RegardsDFTIM me

Hello Honorbound,I have experienced the same issue with Symantec Endpoint, the only workaround I have found that is successfull is to install it on Windows Vista and do an upgrade installation of Windows 7. Im not sure of the specifics to how this works but it does. Hope this helps.-Scott

I tested SEP 11.0.4 with windows vista and it was working normal but I could not upgrade to windows 7 unless to remove SEP firstly.So try to use SEP 11.0.5 as Symantec Endpoint 11.0.5 is now supporting windows 7http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009072315130848http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009072315265848

Hi, I had the same of installing SEP 11.0.5 corporate edition. As mentioned by you, I installed LUSETUP.EXE first and then ran the SETUP.EXE. It worked fine this time. I did not even boot in between. Thank you very much for your instructions.
March 11th, 2010 8:50pm
Hello all, I've tried to installl the LUSETUP.EXE first and have gotten no luck at all. It will go to the motion of installing, and then it will "roll back" and then I get this message... "The wizard was interrupted before Symantec Endpoint Protection could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." then after I try reinstalling it again i get this... "Symantec Endpoint Protection has detected that there are pending system changes that require a reboot. Please reboot the system and rerun the installation." What gives?
April 1st, 2010 11:01pm
This is a known issue. This from Symantec. The PendingFileRenameOperations registry value can be backed up and deleted. Symantec Endpoint Protection can then be installed, and the PendingFileRenameOperations value replaced in order to facilitate installing Symantec Endpoint Protection without affecting the operating system or 3rd party applications negatively. This method will leave several temporary installation files in the logged in user's temp directory that would normally be deleted after a reboot. Open the Windows Registry editor (regedit.exe) browse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager Verify the following Reg Multi String value PendingFileRenameOperations exists under this key. Note: If you do not find the PendingFileRenameOperations value in the location above, this error message can be generated if there are pending changes in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations Right-click on the SessionManager registry key that contains the PendingFileRenameOperations value and choose Export Provide a file name and location for the exported registry key and click Save Delete the PendingFileRenameOperations value from the registry If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired exists, right-click on the RebootRequired registry key and choose Export. Provide a different file name than in step 4 for the exported registry key and click Save Delete RebootRequired sub-key Install Symantec Endpoint Protection normally Before rebooting, double-click on the .reg files created in Step 4 and 7 to merge the previous PendingFileRenameOperations value and RebootRequired sub-key.

Is there an easy way to save the audio portion of a dishnet recording from the Hopper to a flash drive as an MP3 so I can listen to it in my car? The only thing I can think of would be to playback the program, then feed the RCA output into another device that records. I'm trying to find something easier.

That's the only way I know to do it. Not sure about the audio channels, but Dish encrypts their recordings and they can only be played back by using the receiver.

By Holly Pierlot guest opinion
I was interested to see Malcolm Murray's introduction of "morality" into the public abortion debate here on P.E.I. (June 25th). Let's talk about it then.
Morality, philosophically and theologically, is not about someone being 'good' or 'bad.' These are childish categories of moral thinking, and we rightfully move past such narrow confines as we mature. But this does not mean we abandon a moral code. Instead, it should prompt us to look deeper.
Morality is about fostering our full development and perfection as human beings and persons, both here and hereafter. Morality is about those decisions and actions that help or harm this full human growth in either ourselves or in others. What is 'good for us' is the core of the moral decision-making process. As persons, it is also about facilitating healthy interpersonal relationships, and about what is good for our relationships with each other.
The pro-choice position attempts to look at the 'good for us' in an urgent way – based on the crisis or circumstances of the moment - instead of its life-long impact on the whole person. Also, pro-choice thought bases the entire abortion argument on the 'good-for-only-me' reductionist concerns of the woman alone, and ignores an essential issue – the reality of another human being in the womb.
Once that child has been brought into existence by the choice or actions of the woman and the man - no matter how planned or how spontaneous, how free or how coerced - then that child is a created human being (yes, created, because that child could not have existed spontaneously).
The child is a separate human being though, with its own scientifically proven distinct-DNA. Regardless of the stage of human maturity, or the level of independence or dependence upon another, or its habitat inside or outside of the womb, this human child is then entitled to its inviolable human rights. The only rights that can stand universally, with any real meaning, are those that derive from what it means to be human, not from a legal statement. Abortion takes away this basic human right-to-live which was not owed to the child before her existence, but only after she is created. It is here that abortion is immoral.
And yet, it is not just the presence of the child alone that determines the moral value of abortion. For a woman to engage in an act that promises such personal health risks contributes to its immorality. Unlike Mr. Murray's skiing analogy, to intentionally choose that which brings serious and unnecessary harm to oneself has the same moral significance as seeking to bring harm to anyone else. Every human person has a right and duty to be treated with great care, even if that person is oneself.
Many women, however, are not aware of what awaits them following an abortion, mostly because they are promised a quick fix and a ten-minute minor procedure. It has been well established that many women, once they have the full knowledge of the reality of abortion and it's negative consequences, will not choose this level of self-harm. This points to the importance of a full and prior disclosure of abortion's risks disseminated by the medical profession and of women making an "informed" decision.
Lastly, morality involves not just the individual good of the self or of the other, but also the good of the relationship between the two. Whereas the world can and does recognize that love between two people is an ultimately important human good, abortion instead completely severs this relationship.
In fact, abortion is about the direct ending of one person's life to promote the singular interests of another. It is the opposite of love, in the extreme.
The problem of reaching agreement upon what is good for us appears to come with our society's moral relativism. But it's not rocket science. There is a solid consensus that the three areas of morality (the self, the other and the relationship between the two), with their respective goods (survival, health and love), are universally accepted goods, and are the foundation of many declarations and charters of rights and freedoms and moral codes.
Morality is ultimately about respect - respect for the dignity of who I am as a person, and respect for who the other person is, and respect for the beauty of our relationship with each other. Respect treats self and others as precious, and seeks to bring about what is 'best' for one's human fulfillment and perfection, both here and hereafter.
When we assess if abortion is good for the woman, good for the child, and good for their relationship, we can see that abortion fails to pass the test of morality on all counts.

New sidewalks have been installed along Ridge Road in Homewood and they still walk and run in the street.
They block traffic, as they do in other areas, why spend the money?
Also sidewalks should be level, check those out.
I know someone will say, but it government money, but what they should know is government has no money, it's your money.
Check it out, just be careful.

A big job refocused on top priorities
January 15, 2014
We're glad the village of Saranac Lake finally hired a code enforcement officer to replace Tom Worthington, who we thought did a pretty good job. We congratulate Mathew W....
Why would a newspaper not be in favor of activist code enforcement? If this paper had been more active about what has been going on in this town for the several decades that the building code has been in effect, perhaps more attention and pressure would have been brought to bear on the spineless town officials who worry more about losing votes that the safety of their constituents. Code enforcement in Saranac Lake has been a joke for 20 years. ADE has done little to expose the culprits, both landlords and politicians.

KALAMAZOO, MI – When a lot of jobs are lost, everyone notices, economist Brian Long says.
But we don't notice slow growth – jobs created one, two or 10 at a time, he said.
So although the economy of greater Kalamazoo and Southwest Michigan is growing, there have been no big increases to point out during the last few months, said Long, who is director of Supply Chain Management Research at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids.
"All we can really say is once again the slow grow cumulatively has amounted to a general recovery from the recession, but the recovery has been so slow that you have to look at this year versus last year to say, 'Gee, maybe we really are better off,'" said Long, who surveys industrial purchasing managers during the last two weeks of each month and creates indexes based on their responses.
A year ago, the unemployment rate in the Kalamazoo metropolitan area was 1 to 1.5 percent higher than now, he said. "But, again, there hasn't been the mass rush of hiring," he said.
"There haven't been announcements of 2,000 new jobs coming to Kalamazoo," he said. "It's been very much a one-by-one and two-by-two and 10-by-10 job increase."
Using the data he collects, Long produces a monthly report for the National Association of Purchasing Management.
His Index of New Orders for the last two weeks of July, which represents business improvement, eased to +18, down from +23 in late June. For that index, he asks purchasing managers if orders were up, down or unchanged from the previous month.
His Production Index, which asks purchasing managers is they expect production to ramp up, was +25, down from +30 in late June. Long's Index of Purchases, which asks purchasing managers if their level of purchasing activity is it up, held steady at +19, as did his Employment Index, which remains at +15. To create that index, he asks if companies expect to increase, decrease or maintain staffing levels.
He said a good example of the type of slow growth that has gone relatively unnoticed in the area during the last 20 years is what has happened at the State Farm insurance company location in Portage. It acquired a large old Sam's Club site at 5538 Portage Road in 1998 and initially had fewer than 200 workers.
"But as time went on they put on an addition and added more people," Long said. "Before you know it, you have an office of 600 people."
The office has become a regional insurance claims center and consolidated a few hundred jobs from various offices in Michigan and Indiana. It had about 700 workers in 2012.
He said no one made a big splash about that because the growth happened incrementally.

Alice available for adoption in Federal Way | Pet of the Week
Alice loves to play, hunt and pounce on anything that moves. She was captured as a kitten with her feral mom and siblings. She is interactive with toys and loves canned food.
Alice took a while to socialize, so she does not love to be petted a lot or held, (she still gets skittish when you reach for her). But she does love to chat with you, play with feather toys and laser lights. Alice gets along well with other cats once she gets to know them, which doesn't take long. She is curious and funny. Small children may frighten her.
Alice, who is about 8 months old, needs a home where she can be herself and an owner who understands that she is never going to be a lap kitty. She is spayed, up to date with vaccines and micro-chipped.

Americans for Safe Access-Nevada County meeting today in Grass Valley
December 14, 2012
Americans for Safe Access-Nevada County will host a meeting 6-8 p.m. today at the Nevada County Contractors Association at 149 Crown Pointe Court (off Crown Pointe Circle), according to a news release.
ASA-NC is a supporter of the medical marijuana movement and is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that challenges the legality of the county's Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance.
Proposition 215, which allows patients with a valid doctor's recommendation marijuana access and the patient's doctors to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use, was passed by the voters of California and, by law, cannot be changed or amended without another statewide vote, the release states.
Attorney Jeff Lake will be a guest speaker at the meeting, providing some news regarding the cultivation ordinance. According to the release, the meeting will decide the course of action that ASA-NC will pursue during the coming season. For that reason, this meeting is open to members only, although prospective members can join at the door, the release states.
One of the issues involves the regulation of cannabis cultivation, as state law limits the number of plants to six when they have a valid California doctor's recommendation.
"The county's ordinance oversteps their legal authority to regulate the size of a patient's cannabis garden," said ASA-NC Chair Patricia Smith.
Nevada County's ordinance has replaced plant counts with square footage restrictions that ASA-NC claims are inadequate.
The case is scheduled to be heard in late May by Superior Court Judge Sean Dowling.

FREELAND, MI — A husband and wife displaced after a fire on Nov. 21 are thankful that they were not home at the time and that their dog, Jack, was found safe, though they expect a long struggle before things are normal again.
After being alerted about the blaze, the Craig and Krystal Ruppert returned home and watched their house burn as Tittabawassee Township firefighters hosed down the flames.
The couple and others searched for Jack, their beagle mix that escaped the blaze, reluctantly giving up after searching late into the night.
The family was reunited with the dog hours later.
"We are so incredibly happy and overjoyed to share the news, Jack was found on our porch this morning by our landlord!! We are on our way to see him now!!!!!!!" Krystal Ruppert posted on her Facebook page on Thursday, Nov. 22.
An online donation site has been established to help the couple in the aftermath of the fire.
"We have not done a list of specific items, because, we need everything," Ruppert said. Some of the loss will be covered by renter's insurance, Ruppert said, but the couple does not know how long that will take and needs help getting through the coming months.
The Rupperts will be at Freeland Elementary School on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 29 and 30, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. to accept donations.
"Please continue to keep us in your thoughts, it going to be a long struggle back.... Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts," she wrote in a Facebook post.
They were able to salvage some pictures and her grandfather's military coat, preserved in a case. The photo album from the couple's September 2011 wedding made it out safe and dry.
Ruppert also praised the fire department for placing her wedding dress under a protective tarp, though she has not been able to see if was damaged or not.
"The fire departments need to be praised for all the work they did," Ruppert said. She thanked officer Brian Berg, who reported the fire and kicked in the door to free the dog.
She thanked everyone searching for the couple's lost dog late into the night and thanked the people eager to help out following the house fire.
"The community's response and willingness to help has been overwhelming and my husband and I cannot help but feel blessed by the generosity shown by everyone," Ruppert said.
Firefighters initially said a wood stove could be the origin of the fire, but the official cause has not been released.
The couple is staying at a hotel and at a relative's home until they decide what to do next.
But despite the loss on the day before Thanksgiving, Rupert said the family is happy to be safe.
"Please have a happy and safe Thanksgiving," Ruppert wrote after the fire. "Hold your loved ones close and be thankful for what you have, you never know when it could all disappear."

What the heck, Dumars?
June 25, 2009 - Steve Murch
Maybe Joe Dumars isn't the genius everyone thought he was. OK, most people didn't think that, but he continues to be baffling. After the season he said he plans on competing for titles all the time, but not with what has transpired in the last year.
First he fires his coach after falling short of the NBA finals, then gives the reins to a man with ZERO coaching experience. Then makes the dumbest trade by losing the heart of the team for an expiring contract. Then he drafts a guy who is at least a year away from really contributing, if ever.
Pistons fans better face the reality. After barely making the playoffs this year, they won't be close next year unless they sign some key free agents. If the hope is to get LeBron James after next season, then Dumars is going about it wrong. Why would he want to come to a team that is struggling and doesn't have a good supporting cast?
There are some pieces, but not enough to make a serious run without a big improvement in talent.

BAHRAIN: WestPoint Home completes purchase of mills from Manama Textiles
MANAMA: US bedding firm WestPoint Home has completed its purchase of mills in Askar from Manama Textiles; TradeArabia reported here on December 23.
WestPoint Home CEO Joe Pennacchio described the Bahrain facility as a fully vertical operation with state-of-the-art equipment capable of producing a full range of bedding products.
Manama Textiles will operate through its Sitra facility, targeting the denim market.
According to agreement, three Manama Textile plants are going to be sold that deal in production of bedsheets.
This sale is direct reaction of Bahrain's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the US. Both the companies have agreed on price and agreement will be signed soon. Plants, which are going to be sold are all located in Askar.
End product of all these plants is bedsheets and Westpoint has strong market base than Manama textiles. Due to FTA, Westpoint will be able to export the products to US without paying duties.
Manama Textiles plans to reinvest sales proceeds for the expansion of its denim market.
The Bahrain company shifts its focus to denim textiles. The sale is a direct result of Bahrain's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the US, which enables company to export to the US without paying tariffs.
Manama Textiles chief operating officer Mehtab Ahmed Malik said that the two companies have agreed on a price. The plants being sold are all located in Askar and include one including two spinning mills producing 1,300 metric tonnes of yarn a month, another with a weaving mill producing three million metres of fabric and a third with a dyeing, printing, cutting and sewing facilities able to produce three million metres a month.
The end product of all three plants is bedsheets, which Mr Malik says that Westpoint Home has a competitive advantage in.
The company exports denim to Europe, Turkey and Bangladesh. It is used for some of the world's top brands including Levi's, Next and Gap.

KENT, Ohio -- The offensive line was a big question mark for Kent State going into the season. After the opening 17-10 victory over Liberty, head coach Paul Haynes can breath easier.
With two potential starters sidelined on a five-man unit that needed to rebuilt after last season, the Flashes still amassed 167 yards rushing, with over 50 more lost to penalties.
Freshman Reno Reda moved over from his backup tackle position to guard and started in place of senior Pat McShane (knee). McShane's normal backup, Jim Katusha, also missed the game with a concussion. McShane, one of two returning 2012 starters along with senior center Phil Huff, remains "day to day" according to Haynes, as does the sophomore, Katusha.
But the effort delivered against Liberty is at least a first step toward a season-long goal.
"We have got to win the rushing battle against everyone we play,'' Haynes said during his weekly coaches session with the media.
Well done: Haynes said he was pleased with the rushing performance delivered by junior tailback Trayion Durham (92 yards) and backup Anthony Meray (38 yards) in a game where speedster Dri Archer was hurt and limited to just three plays.
Haynes said Archer is like McShane and Katusha, 'day to day' but he has already had a long talk with Durham.
"If we can pound it and be effective,'' Haynes began. "Trayion is a great back, and we have to make sure we continue to feed him."
Lean and mean: If Kent's senior defensive tackle Roosevelt Nix looks a bit leaner than last season, it's because he has slimmed down.
"I've lost 25 pounds since the end of last season,'' he said. "I could play with it, but I just feel better now. I was 270 for the bowl game, I'm right at 250 now.''
The bigger thing, Nix said, is he is healthy as nagging hand, toe and foot injuries are all behind him. The only challenge is dealing with leg cramps during games in high heat and humidity.
"It doesn't matter what I weigh,'' said Nix, who missed the final defensive stand vs. Liberty due to leg cramps. "I've always had cramps like that going back to high school.''
The big ones: The past two years, Bowling Green and Kent have had two of the better defenses in the Mid-American Conference. But last season, in particular, you would not know that by the score (31-24, Kent) or the scoring plays.
Big plays ruled as six of the seven touchdowns scored in the game covered 27 yards or more and four of them covered 72 yards or more, and all from the line of scrimmage.
Haynes, a former defensive coordinator, said many times players, "get caught up in making plays." He said sometimes the game is made more difficult that it needs be with stunts and play-calls and matching wits with the offense.
"It still comes down to tackling, and keeping leverage,'' he said. "And those are things they've been doing since they started playing football.''

LENOX, MA-In the wake of a shareholder lawsuit alleging that the board of directors of Silicon Prion allowed a board member to keep his seat and attend regular meetings 37 months after he died, both chairman Harry Owens and president Wallace Rutherford,
According to local news reports, Charles Dawson had been a member of the Silicon Prion board since the company's IPO in 1954 and had attended board meetings until August of this year, despite the fact that he died in July of I995. Seemingly,
"Obviously, I regret not noticing that Chuck had been dead for the past three years," said ex-chairman Owens at a press conference called to announce his resignation. "But in my defense, I'd must point out that Chuck was an awfully quiet guy, so the fact that he just sat there in a corner not saying anything at all those meetings never raised any red flags with the other board members. Even when he was young, Chuck liked to pay it pretty close to the vest. To be honest, most of us thought he was napping."
Although comatose directors have long been a fact of life in American board rooms, the Silicon Prion incident marks the first time that a medically dead director was allowed to participate in corporate gatherings at a major American firm. But now that the scandal has come to light, numerous observers expect many more of these oversights to be unearthed. "We have compiled a list of I39 U.S. firms suspected of including at least one deceased board member," says Tom Ford, editor of The Catatonia Report, a
Speaking without attribution, several directors on prestigious boards sympathized with the plight of Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Owens. "Even when you're 99 percent sure that one of your fellow board members is actually dead, it's hard to work up the gumption to ask him if he's still breathing," says a typically beleaguered director. "I mean, what are you supposed to do? Poke him? Take his pulse? Kick him in the shins?"
"There's one guy on our board who I was sure was dead since 1992," says another director. "Even though he'd been attending our meetings for the past 25 years, he hadn't said anything since Gerald Ford was in office. So one day I leaned over and whispered, 'Hey, Bob, are you dead yet?' Imagine my embarrassment when his eyes flickered open and he said, 'No, but if you guys don't stop talking about the new FASB disclosure rules, I will be soon.' "
Sentient, alert board members confused by the protocol in such situations are advised to consult a new book called, Out Like a Light: A History of Comatose Boards of Directors, recently published by a Washington-based shareholder activist group called the National Association for the Detection of Corporate Cadavers. The book includes an entire chapter outlining the etiquette to be followed in situations where a board member strongly suspects that a director has bought the farm.
"Quarterly fire drills during board meetings is one way to root out the obviously deceased," the book explains, "but in an alarmingly large number of cases, directors who are snoozing will simply sleep through the drill. Just to be on the safe side, overturning a large vat of scalding hot coffee in the board member's lap is an effective mechanism for distinguishing the dead from the living. Obviously, when the director is still alive, this can lead to personal damage lawsuits, but the judgments in these suits tend to be much smaller than those that would result from lawsuits accusing directors of neglecting their duties to shareholders."
Joe Queenan is a regular contributor on business issues, corporate culture, and financial follies to Barron's and The Wall Street Journal.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A federal judge in Birmingham today declared a mistrial after a jury could not come to a verdict after deliberating more than four days in the trial of a Tennessee man charged in a federal drug probe of marijuana shipments from Texas to Alabama.
Some of the shipments were then transported to Tennessee for resale there, according to court documents.
U.S. District Court Judge David Proctor declared the mistrial after jurors could not reach a verdict in the case of Christopher Lee Tuttle.
"I guess the jury would not unanimously accept the government's theory of the case," said Joy Smith Kimbrough, the Nashville attorney who represented Tuttle.
Kimbrough said Tuttle maintains his innocence.
Peggy Sanford, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Birmingham, said prosecutors aren't giving up on prosecuting Tuttle. "We are disappointed that the jury could not reach a verdict, but in the interest of justice, we intend to try Mr. Tuttle again," she said.
The trial began with jury selection March 6. The jury began deliberations on Monday and through the week had asked several questions. On Thursday the judge had urged jurors with an Allen charge - or dynamite charge - to reach a verdict.
Tuttle, also known as "Red," was arrested in April 2012 in Nashville after an investigation by Drug Enforcement Agents in Austin, Texas, Birmingham, and Nashville.
Agents confiscated $1.3 million in cash at two locations, much of it hidden inside a military ammunition can hidden inside an abandoned car on property owned by Tuttle's father in the Nashville area. Also seized were 22 guns and 200 pounds of marijuana.
Tuttle was indicted in federal court in Birmingham for conspiracy to possess 1,000 kilos or more of marijuana _ prosecutors said it was shipments totaling 2,220 pounds _ and seven counts of the use of a communications facility, a cell phone, to carry out the conspiracy.
Besides Tuttle, seven others from the Bessemer area and Nashville were also indicted on federal charges in connection with the investigation. Another six, including Tuttle's father and step-mother, were arrested on charges in Tennessee as a result of the investigation.
According to federal court documents a Birmingham area group shipped marijuana from Texas to Birmingham. Some of the marijuana was then shipped to Tennessee for re-sale there.
Cleto Romero Medina, Biato Jaramillo-Romero, Alveido Estrada-Diaz, and Reyna Patino-Espinoza, all of who had been living in the Birmingham area, were arrested April 23, 2012 in connection with the investigation.
Medina was identified in a court affidavit as the cell leader for the Bessemer-based cell of the organization and "oversees all aspects of the organization's activities in Alabama."
Medina testified at Tuttle's trial.
The organization obtains marijuana in Texas and transports it by bus to Bessemer, according to the affidavit. "The marijuana is placed in multiple suit cases and placed in the cargo hold of the bus," the affidavit states.
Part of the marijuana was transported to Tennessee for distribution while a portion was kept in Bessemer for distribution locally, according to the affidavit.
The arrests in Alabama and Tennessee last year came after DEA agents got information that Medina was expecting a shipment of 270 pounds of marijuana from the supplier in Texas.
Agents tracked the movements of Medina, his half-brother, Jaramillo, of Brighton, and three men who drove in from Tennessee.
Tennessee State Troopers stopped two vehicles carrying three men from Tennessee and found 115 pounds of marijuana in a suitcase in one of the vehicles. Medina and Estrada were arrested when they stopped at a rest stop in Alabama about 10 miles south of the Tennessee state line.
Sentencing hearings for Medina and four other men indicted along with Tuttle on federal charges in Birmingham are now set for April 11. One man remains a fugitive. Reyna Patino-Espinoza was sentenced to time served in February on a firearms charge stemming from the investigation.

Additive methods of color production
Mixing of the additive primary colors to produce other colors of the spectrum.
Additive primary colors
Red, blue, and green, which mixed in certain combinations produces the other colors of the spectrum and when all mixed together shows white light.
Angle of Refraction
The angle of change in direction that the light wave makes when it undergoes refraction.
Angular magnification
The magnifying power of a magnifying glass, expressed as the ratios of the angular sizes of an object, normally and through the instrument.
Anisotropic material
Materials such as quartz and ice where the characteristics of it are different depending on which way the light rays travel.
Astronomical telescope
A telescope where the final image is inverted, which is usually used by astronomers.
Bragg´s Law
Describes the relationship between the wavelength traveling through a grating and the spacing within the crystal that serves for diffraction.
Center of curvature (C)
The point on the optics axis that corresponds to the center of the sphere at which the mirror forms a section.
Chief (radial) ray
A ray that travels through the center of curvature along the mirror?s surface and is reflected back along its original.
Chromatic aberration
White light is dispersed because of different indexes of refraction within a lens.
Compound microscope
An instrument composed of two convex lenses that combine to increase magnification.
Part of the composition of the retina; it is cone-shaped. It is more used for intense light that the brain will translate into colors.
Critical angle
The angle of incidence which produces a 90 degree angle of refraction; the light ray does not enter the second medium but travels along the surface between the two mediums.
Crystalline lens
A converging or convex lens inside the eye, located behind the iris and composed of microscopic glassy fibers.
A property that some birefrigent materials exhibit, where one polarized beam of light is absorbed more than the other, and the light that leaves the crystal is plane polarized, or polarized in one direction.
Diffraction gratings
A series of parallel, very fine, closely placed slits on a panal that often gives rise to an iridescent effect (i.e. CDs).
When light enters a material that has different indexes of refraction and is separated (e.g. prism).
Extraordinary ray
When a material exhibits birefringence, there are two beams of light polarized. The extraordinary ray is the beam that is refracted when passing through the crystal.
Far Point
The greatest distance at which the normal eye can see objects clearly, and is taken to be infinity.
Farsightedness (hyperopia)
A disease/condition of the eye where it is unable to see things that are close to it. The physics behind it is that the image is being focused not exactly on the retina, but behind it.
Fiber optics
A new field of optics where transparent fibers are used to transmit light across distances.
Focal Ray
A ray that appears to travel through the focal point and reflects back in a path parallel to the optic axis.
Huygen´s Principle
Every point on a light wave can be considered as a source of secondary waves and the line or surface tangent to all these secondary waves defines a new position of the wave front.
When two waves interact and effect each other depending on their wavelengths, places of interaction, and other factors.
Irregular (diffuse) reflection
Reflection that occurs when the reflecting surface is rough; reflected light rays are not parallel even if the rays are at the same angle of incidence.
Isotropic material
Materials such as glass where the characteristics are the same no matter which way the light rays travel.
Lateral magnification
The ratio of an object?s image?s height compared to the object?s actual height.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Crystals that are melted and flow like liquid but still have the orderly composition that light needs in polarization; often used in calculators and digital watches.
Magnifying glass
A single convex lens that inflates the size of an object to allow it to be seen more clearly.
Mie Scattering
Dust, water droplets, and particles of the lower region of the atmosphere cause this kind of scattering, which takes place when the particles that spread the emitted substance emission are bigger than the emitted wavelengths themselves. It is not as wavelength dependent as Rayleigh's scattering. Mie scattering makes clouds look white.
Near Point
The position closest to the eye at which objects can be seen clearly and depends on the extent the lens can be deformed by accommodation.
Nearsightedness (myopia)
A disease/condition of the eye where it is unable to see things that are at a distance. The physics behind it is that the image is being focused not exactly on the retina, but in front of it.
Newton´s rings
A technique that is used to check the smoothness and equilibrium of lenses through an interference where irregularities in the lens cause distortions.
Nonselective Scattering
This kind of scattering occurs in the lower regions of the atmosphere, but unlike Mie scattering, its intensity is not dependant on wavelength. Nonselective scattering is a major cause of haze.
Optical activity
The ability of a material to polarize light and then change its direction (i.e. the transparent material used to make 3-D glasses).
Ordinary ray
When a material exhibits birefringence, there are two beams of light polarized. The ordinary ray is the beam that passes through the crystal without being deflected.
Parallel ray
A ray that travels parallel to the optic axis and is reflected through the focal point.
Partially polarized light
The light rays are going in a general direction but not altogether oriented.
Polarization by refraction
When light is refracted continuously off a stack of glass plates, instead of only one, and thus polarization increases so that the intensity of the light goes up as well.
Polarizing angle (Brewster angle)
When light hits a surface such as glass, it is usually partially reflected and partially refracted depending on the angle of incidence. This causes the light ray to become either polorized, partially polarized, or unpolarized. If the angle of incidence is exactly 90 degrees, this results in complete polarization of the beam and is known as the Brewster angle.
Radial Ray
A ray that travels through the center of the sphere and is reflected back along the path it came.
Radial Ray
A ray that travels through the center of the sphere and is reflected back along the path it came.
A line drawn perpendicular to a series of wave fronts and pointing in the direction that the wave is going.
Rayleigh criterion
An accepted condition of resolution that states that if two images have coinciding diffraction maximum and minimum patterns, they are said to be resolved.
Rayleigh scattering
The equation that shows the relationship between scattering and the wavelengths of the light rays; the bigger the wavelength, the less the scattering.
Real image
An image that is formed when light rays are reflected by a spherical mirror from the object to the eye; light actually radiates from such images (e.g. movie screen).
Reflecting telescope
A telescope that uses a single large, concave, parabolic mirror. Because of its parabolic nature, the mirror does not have spherical or chromatic aberration and only one surface needs to be prepared and polished.
Reflection grating
When light is transmitted through an extraordinarily fine diffraction grating that is also photosensitive and causes a colorful iridescent effect.
Refracting telescope
A refracting telescope works similarly to a compound microscope and also magnifies objects. It uses convex lenses and the phenomenon of refraction. It too has an objective and an eyepiece. To attain the greatest magnification, the focal length of the objective should be maximized and that of the eyepiece should be minimized. Two types of refracting telescopes are astronomical and terrestrial telescopes.
Regular (specular) reflection
Reflection that occurs when the reflecting surface is smooth; reflected light is parallel if the rays are at the same angle of incidence.
1) Separating something into its basic components (white light into colors). 2) The specific detail that an image can be tuned to; the clearness of an image.
Resolving power
The minimum distance that a lens needs between two points so that the images can be resolved.
An area that is photo-sensitive within the eye, whose surface is in contact with light rays. In back of this surface runs many optic nerves that send signals to the brain.
Part of the composition of the retina; it is rod-shaped, hence the name. It is more sensitive to light and can help one to see when the surrounding is dim (twilight vision).
Light may be absorbed and re-radiated from the particles of the medium that it travels through (i.e. air), which is the reason why the sky is blue.
Snell´s Law
A law that shows the relationship between angles of incidence and angles of refraction for a light wave.
Spherical aberration
The effect that the greater distance between the incident and the axis results in a greater distance between the mirrored ray and focal point.
Spherical mirror equation
An equation that relates the distances that a ray travels and the focal point.
Subtractive method of color production
Color is perceived by a method known as subtraction, where the color seen is the color not reflected by the pigment.
Subtractive primary pigments
Cyan, magenta, and yellow, which are the complementary colors of the additive primary colors and combine together to form black.
Terrestrial telescope
A telescope where the final image is right-side up, which is more useful for those viewing objects on Earth.
Total internal reflection
The condition in refraction where light does not pass through the surface but is internally reflected; the angle that the light is refracted is greater than the critical angle.
Transmission axis (polarization direction)
When certain birefrigent materials are used, such as polymers, the molecules can orient themselves into chains. The transmission axis is perpendicular to this chain.
Transmission grating
When light is transmitted through a diffraction grating, often caused by an extremely fine wire grating.
Virtual image
An image that is formed when the light rays are reflected by a planar mirror from the object to the eye, so that the object actually appears to be behind the mirror; light does not actual radiate from such images.

El apartamento está genial, y a un paseo de 10 minutos del centro. Tiene todos los detalles para que tu estancia alli sea perfecta. La anfitriona es todo lo amable que puede ser.
Dear Liz, we enjoyed our stay in your beautiful apartment in Edinburgh a lot and would gladly recommend it everybody. Many thanks for sharing the apartment for visitors!
Liz was an excellent host - she made sure we received all necessary information upfront, she even texted us on the day of the trip to make sure we had her contact number. The apartment was excellent - clean, welcoming, comfortable. The parking was a bonus and Liz even provided us with a parking permit. I would certainly recommend this host and the apartment to my friends and will try to return to Edinburgh and Hopetoun Apartment soon.
It was great!!! I love Edimburgh!!
The apartment is a comfortable place and CLEAR... with all that you can need for your holidays... good location!
The owner (elizabeth) was rvery friendly... and she gave us all the facilities... i would like to say her... thank you...
Hopetoun Apartment in Edinburgh is a great stay. Elizabeth is friendly, kind and helpful. This apartment is good value for money, ideally located, clean and modern.
The perfekt apartment to rent in Edinburgh close to everything and you got all you need in the apartment. We were two couples and it was perfect for four people and we had an rental car that we could park in the private parking. We will stay here again when we come back to edinburgh.
A cosy place, in a quiet area. It is sufficently equiped and very well furnished. Above all it was very clean and tidy.
It is located about 15 minutes walk to the city center. Closer you can find supermarkets, but also plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants.
Liz was very helpful from our first e-mail exchange and even more caring when we met her. She made sure we get all necessary information needed concerning the apartment but also gave us hints about the area around. She is a very nice person but also disceet.
I would definetly stay again.

A boat carrying a group of Jewish pro-Palestinian activists has set sail for Gaza with the aim of breaking Israel's naval blockade.
The boat, named "Irene", left a port in Cyprus on Sunday morning.
It has been organised by Jews for Justice for Palestinians and the umbrella organisation European Jews for a Just Peace.
More than 40 activists had been expected to join the passage; however JfJP said there were ten passengers and crew on board, from Britain, Germany and the US.
The cargo includes fishing nets, musical instruments and textbooks.
JjJP spokesman Richard Kuper described the boat as "a symbolic act of protest" and "a message of solidarity to Palestinians and Israelis who seek peace and justice."
In May, activists on board the Mavi Marmara flotilla were found to be carrying weapons including knives.
However Mr Kuper, who is not on board, said the mission was non-violent and that "multicoloured peace flags" would be flown.
He said: "We aim to reach Gaza, but our activists will not engage in any physical confrontation and will therefore not present the Israelis with any reason or excuse to use physical force."
Organisers had originally intended for the ship to set sail in July but the plan was delayed by an £18,000 funding shortfall.

Parmele, 27, was one of the backups to Maurice Jones-Drew during the 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars season and saw the most playing time of his career when Jones-Drew was lost for the season to injury.
For the season, Parmele ran 40 times for 143 yards. On Nov. 18, in an overtime loss to the Houston Texans, Parmele gained a career-high 80 yards, adding three pass receptions. He gained 45 yards the following week against Tennessee before suffering a season-ending groin injury.
Parmele played collegiately at Toledo and was a sixth-round pick in the 2008 draft by the Miami Dolphins.
In his NFL career, Parmele has gained 187 yards on 47 carries. He has also caught seven passes for 60 yards.
The 5-foot-11, 225-pound back is also a special teams veteran, returning 43 kicks for 1,078 yards. He has made 19 tackles, forcing two fumbles.
nflspinzone.com: At this point in time, Parmele is a fringe-roster player, so he would have to prove to be healthy in training camp. He would also have to prove to the Seahawks that he can be effective, so it's definitely a good thing that he can play on special teams and return kicks. The Seahawks lack of depth at the running back position is the thing that plays in Parmele's favor the most, and he is also able to handle lead-blocking duties.

Boy Scouts from Troop 1969 traveled to the Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., from Oct. 26-28. The scouts camped at nearby Lake Frederick, which is located in the West Point Reservation.
Cadets guided the Scouts on a walking tour of the academy's buildings and grounds, including Trophy Point, Battle Monument and the Great Chain placed across the Hudson River by George Washington.
The scouts then viewed a ceremonial military parade on the Plain, a vast field which has been continuously occupied by an Army garrison since 1778.
Highlighting the day, they watched a Division 1 football game as the Army Black Knights took on Ball State. Troop 1969 meets at the Stanton Reformed Church in Stanton.

Lecture series looks into the life of George Gershwin
American music icon George Gershwin dabbled in a bit of everything.
From recording piano rolls in Tin Pan Alley, to playing piano as an accompanist in Vaudeville and Broadway and onto the pop charts as a song writer, the legendary composer also branched onto the classical music stage and into the opera before his death at age 37 in 1937.
Hes considered one of the most influential forces of American music. Countless singers and musicians have recorded his tunes from Louis Armstrong to Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra to Billie Holliday, Miles Davis, Fred Astaire and even Barbara Streisand and Sting.
People have been hearing these tunes all their lives, and loving it, lecturer Norm Hollingshead noted. People just love it because the music is so irresistible. My lecture about Gershwin is basically his life story, using those musical excerpts.
Think George Gershwin, Behind the Music, at the Kitsap Regional Library. Hollingshead presents his series on the composer divided into three self-contained sections: The Early Years through Rhapsody in Blue March 2; The King of Broadway March 30 and Porgy and Bess Hollywood and Tragic Early Death, April 6.
All sessions are free and begin at 2:15 p.m. at the Sylvan Way branch of the Kitsap Regional Library, 1301 Sylvan Way in Bremerton.
Info: Call series organizer Margaret at (360) 377-0973 or the library at (360) 405-9100.

GRAND RAPIDS - On Tuesday, Kent Career Technical Center will receive high school accreditation in aircraft electronics, allowing students to earn certification that can lead to a job upon graduation, or a leg up on college.
The Tech Center program is the first high school-only course in the country to earn accreditation from the National Center for Aerospace & Transportation Technologies (NCATT), according to a press release.
Avionics students will demonstrate their skills for aviation industry officials and local employers on hand. The event is scheduled for 12:30 p.m at the Kent Career Tech Center's hangar at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
"Students in this program get a real jump-start on their aviation careers," said William Trampler, supervisor of field service engineering at L-3 Avionics Systems in Grand Rapids. With AET Certification (aircraft electronics technician), they are prepared to enter the workforce and college. Their options are unlimited."
"They can easily get into military aviation or further their education at aviation colleges or trade schools."
Besides L3 Avionics, Northern Air, Duncan Air, Mayday Aviation, Amway Corporation and the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce are expected to be represented at the presentation. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff will also be in attendance.
Avionics students are scheduled to install a dashboard of navigation equipment and install tail lights on real aircraft. Industry officials say these types of advanced technical skills are in high demand.
The aircraft maintenance technology and aircraft electronics technology courses are open to juniors and seniors.
The Kent Career Technical Center, 1655 East Beltline Ave.NE, is holding an open house on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.

BENNINGTON, Vt. – A North Adams, Mass., man suspected of driving the car of an elderly woman found slain in her home has been arrested in Vermont and is expected to be extradited back to Massachusetts within seven days.
Forty-one-year-old David A. Delratez appeared in court in Bennington Friday on a fugitive from justice charge.
A police affidavit says he is wanted on a probation violation in Massachusetts for a prior assault.
A car registered to 84-year-old Ellen DePaoli was found Thursday afternoon in Bennington.
DePaoli was found dead in her home at about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
An autopsy determined that the woman's death was a homicide, but authorities have not released a cause of death. The Bennington Banner reported that police say Delratez is a "person of interest" in an investigation.

Voters of nearly every school district in Hunterdon County voted against the budgets today in a resounding rejection of spending plans already squeezed by the struggling economy and state funding cuts.
Budgets in only five of the county's 28 districts were approved. In West Amwell, the budget passed by a mere two votes; in Tewksbury, it squeaked ahead by just one.
Today's election came on the heels of Gov. Chris Christie slashing state funding to schools, and districts responded by cutting jobs and programs. Still, in many towns, taxes were going up. A battle between Christie and the teachers' union drew even more attention to the vote.
• Morris County
• Essex County
• Somerset County
• Union County
• Middlesex County
• Hunterdon County
Nolan said he wouldn't do anything differently. "I think the board and administration prepared a very fair budget," he said. "While it's disappointing at the same time, we go back to work tomorrow morning."
The district held six public meetings on the budget and Nolan guessed 90 percent of the residents who voted "no" didn't know the amount of work that went into it. He wasn't sure where further cuts would be made.
This afternoon at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Whitehouse Station — a Readington Township polling place — resident Dick Thompson said he felt more strongly compelled to vote this year, for both political and economic reasons.
"Given what's going on in our country and in this state, I think people need to get involved," said Thompson.
In his war of words with the teachers union, Christie urged New Jerseyans to vote down budgets in districts where teachers did not agree to a wage freeze. Teachers in only one Hunterdon district — Hunterdon Central Regional High School — had agreed to the freeze.
Mike Levy, a teacher in Bernards Township, voted for Central's budget, but not because of the wage freeze, which he said he opposes.
"I'm just supporting education," Levy said.
Readington resident Bob Paulson, who has two children in the district, voted against the budget because he thinks administrators should be laid off before teachers and custodians.
"We can cut some of the administration before we do anything else," Paulson said. With 63 proposed staff cuts, Readington proposed eliminating more positions than any other Hunterdon district.

Young volleyball team splits first few games
When the Vashon varsity volleyball team began the season, they weren't sure what to expect. Many of last year's varsity players graduated, and the Nisqually League is now expanded, meaning tougher competition.
The team got off to a good start, however, as the girls began their season on the second day of school, Sept. 5, with a strong 3-1 win at Eatonville.
The next night at home, although the games were close, Vashon lost the match to Bellevue Christian. Vashon had another strong 3-1 win the next week at home against Highline, followed two nights later by a loss at home to Cascade Christian.
The next week, an away match at Chimacum brought a 3-2 victory for the Pirates.
Vashon's most recent match, at Seattle Christian last Wendesday, was neck-to-neck throughout but ended with a 2-3 loss after a tie-breaking fifth game.
On Monday after press deadline Vashon, with a record of 3-3, played at Life Christian. Today's they will play Charles Wright.
The JV volleyball team has won two matches, and has had several close games, showing marked improvement as the season progresses.
— Jill Mulvihill is the mother of a Vashon volleyball player.

There's really nothing worse than being an NHL restricted free agent at this time of year. Players who lack arbitration rights also lack negotiating leverage, which means you almost always have to take whatever the team wants to give you.
Why? Well, for one, an offer sheet may as well be a unicorn or UFO with as often as they are seen in the NHL, and in some cases, the RFAs aren't eligible for an offer sheet. Ryan Johansen of the Columbus Blue Jackets is offer-sheet eligible, but the team has enough cap room to match anything another team could give him, and the Jackets would match anything, so rival teams aren't going to waste their time by driving up the cost of future RFAs and ruining relationships with other executives.
For other RFAs who lack enough service time, like Reilly Smith and Torey Krug of the Boston Bruins and Danny DeKeyser of the Detroit Red Wings, they can't receive offer sheets.
Another thing holding up deals is players waiting to see what comparable players receive before signing their own deals.
At the end of the day, no one on this list is receiving an offer sheet, so just put it out of your mind.
What will these 10 RFAs receive from their teams? For many of them, it will be bridge contracts, which is just a public-relations term to define contracts that the player almost has to sign because he has nowhere else to go. Some negotiations will leak into the start of training camp next month, while others have the potential to drag into the regular season.
When will these players sign? What sort of cap hit and term can they expect?
This slideshow will examine those questions and hopefully help you get through the dog days of August.

Bankside is dominated nowadays by the awesome Tate Modern. Originally designed as an oil-fired power station by Giles Gilbert Scott, this austere, brick-built "cathedral of power" was converted into a splendid modern art gallery in 2000. The best way to enter is down the ramp from the west so that you get the full effect of the stupendously large turbine hall. It's easy enough to find your way around the galleries, with levels 3 and 5 displaying the permanent collection, level 4 used for fee-paying special exhibitions, and level 7 home to a café with a great view over the Thames. Along with the free guided tours and multimedia guides, various apps are available (Tate has free wi-fi).
Works are grouped thematically. Although the displays change every year or so, you're still pretty much guaranteed to see works by Monet and Bonnard, Cubist pioneers Picasso and Braque, Surrealists such as Dalí, abstract artists like Mondrian, Bridget Riley and Pollock, and Pop supremos Warhol and Lichtenstein. And such is the space here that several artists get whole rooms to themselves, among them Joseph Beuys, with his shamanistic wax and furs, and Mark Rothko, whose abstract "Seagram Murals", originally destined for a posh restaurant in New York, have their own shrine-like room in the heart of the collection.

Sugarplum was found abandoned in Troutdale and brought in so that she would be safe from street life. "Our little flower needs a wonderful new home. She was injured but has healed nicely. With a little TLC and love she will thrive and her adopter will have a wonderful new friend to cuddle up with. She is super cuddly." Sugarplum also doesn't mind one bit being picked up and held especially if you shower her with kisses. The CAT staff describes her as being "...mellow, loves attention but doesn't beg for it, and is a bit independent." Would you keep Sugarplum safe? Meet her at CAT's Sherwood shelter: 14175 SW Galbreath Drive / 503-925-8903 / catadoptionteam.org / CAT's Sherwood Shelter hours are: Monday—Friday, 11 am- 7 pm and Saturday—Sunday, 10 am- 6 pm.
Take CAT's Meet your Match quiz to see if Sugarplum is your feline match!
