LANSING, MI -- The state Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit filed against Michigan's 2010 statewide smoking ban by a tavern owner.
The suit by Boyd Cottrell, who owns Sporty O'Toole's (Warren), had charged that the state's smoking ban is unconstitutional. The court's three-judge panel did not address this question. Rather, in a one-page memorandum, the court said the plaintiff's standing in the case had vanished because Sporty O'Toole's has gone out of business and Cottrell has not re-entered the tavern market.
Michigan's statewide smoking ban was approved by lawmakers in 2009 and took effect in May 2010.
According to local news sources, that year the Macomb County Health Department twice cited and fined Sporty O'Toole's for failing to enforce the ban. Cottrelle paid the first fine but refused the pay the second and filed his lawsuit instead. | SEE STORY
Cottrell's attorney, Theodore S. Andris, said he will continue to pursue the matter, but had not yet decided what avenues to take next.
The dismissal of Cottrelle's case comes approximately two weeks after the Michigan Dept. of Community Health released a study claiming that smoking bans have not significantly harmed bars in the state -- despite frequent reports to the contrary by operators and tavern owners. | SEE STORY

Due West, S.C. - The Brevard College women's basketball team fought hard on the road on Saturday afternoon, but ultimately fell to Erskine College, 80-71.
For the season, Brevard falls to 0-3 while Erskine improves to 1-0.
The Tornados had trouble controlling the ball in the first couple minutes of the game, falling behind 9-2 due to the full-court man-to-man pressure employed by the Flying Fleet. A layup by Amanda Whitaker finally stopped the Erskine run, but a three-pointer by the Flying Fleet's Audrey Timmerman and layup by Neci Allen forced a Brevard timeout with the score in Erskine's favor, 14-4. Erskine built a 25-8 lead behind the shooting of Timmerman and Lauren Brendle and the defensive play of Porsha Morgan.
Brevard started to connect halfway through the first half as Amber Roberts hit a three and Whitaker converted a layup to cut the lead by half at 25-13, forcing an Erskine timeout. Out of the timeout, Brevard continued their run as a short jumper by Lindsay Brendle, another Whitaker layup, and an offensive rebound and layup by Paige Bridgers got the Tornados back within six. Erskine built up a small lead again due to free throws, before an offense rebound and layup by Samantha Winn at the end of the first half cut the lead to 12, at 37-25.
Brevard shot 34% in the first half compared to Erskine's 35%, but turnovers proved to be the Tornados downfall as they coughed the ball up 16 times in the first 20 minutes to the Flying Fleet's nine. Brevard was led offensively by Winn with eight points and five rebounds. Erskine's Allen led all scorers at the half in recording a double-double with a game-high 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Timmerman came out on fire in the second half, hitting four three-pointers in the first six minutes to help the Flying Fleet build a 53-37 lead, before a short jumper in the corner by Samantha Winn could end her run. The Tornados brought the game back within single digits as Holli Flippo hit a pair of free throws to put the game at 55-46. However, another Timmerman three and a pair of Lauren Brendle free throws put Erskine back up by 12 with eight minutes remaining. Brevard would bring the game back within single digits with a minute left in the half due to Kelly Hudler's steal and layup, but a layup by Erskine's Elizabeth Tatum would seal the game as Erskine closed out the victory 80-71.
For the game, the Tornados were led by Winn with 16 points and nine boards. Whitaker and Hudler were both in double figures as well with 15 and 13 respectively. Erskine was led by Audrey Timmerman with 29 points due to her strong second half. Allen joined her in double figures with 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
The Tornados head home to the friendly confines of Boshamer Gymnasium as they take on Virginia Intermont College on Tuesday, November 25, with a tip-off time of 6 p.m. Erskine is also on the road on the 25th as they take on Pfeiffer University with a start time of 5:30 p.m.

As the thread title states I'm looking at ways/how to increase my VO2 max.
My understanding is it's best done by training at a heart rate of 85% or more, can anyone verify this or back it up?
And my other question is how long(time wise) and how often should one train at this high percentage to improve?


text: I was wondering if anyone had any good information on spring bear hunting in the Wilson/Trask units? My buddy and I drew the tag as our second choice. I am new to hunting bears, always wanted to get serious about hunting them and now I am finally getting to. Just would love some good advice on how to hunt and find these bruins? Also I want to take it with my bow but it doesn't matter if I get it with a rifle. Thanks

Sacha G wrote:So what do you think?
nathan wrote:Sacha G wrote:So what do you think?
If your simply soliciting opinion then I would reply that this type of question and all similar questions such as, 'could a Buddha be Swedish', etc. are properly viewed in light of the Buddha's arrow metaphor wherein someone struck by an arrow refuses to have it pulled out before first ascertaining what sort of arrow it is, where it was made, what it was made from, who sent it and so on. To be honest, any truly satisfactory potential answers to such questions, even this one specifically, can only be had by realizing the fruit of arahatta for oneself, in the interim the best practice is to set these kinds of concerns aside.
Sacha G wrote:Hi
The question "Does the arhat survive after death" seems at first a legitimate question. The Buddha, as many may know, didn't anwer simply yes or no but pointed to the fact that the arhat is not even found in the present, so how could he survived or be annihilated. Ultimately that is true.
If now I say: "will you come to my dinner tomorrow?" and you would answer "since I'm not found even in the present, how could I come to your dinner", you would understand that I'm not very satisfied.
In the same way, the arhat is annihilated after death, when one speaks according to the convention of the world seems a good way of saying. In the same way that you say "he left the room", meaning "the five aggregates of X left the room", you might say "the arhat got annihilated at death" meaning "the 5 aggregates were annihilated" (apart from form, which stays some time, I agree).
I kind of feel there's a mixing of plans (ultimate and conventional) which troubles me.
Of course the Buddha had specific reasons to answer as he did, but to me, it is less clear than generally agreed.
Hope this was not too confused.
So what do you think?
At Savatthi. Then the Venerable Ananda approached the Blessed One,
paid homage to him, sat down to one side, and said to him: "Venerable sir,
it is said, 'cessation, cessation.' Through the cessation of what things is
cessation spoken of?" "Form, etc, consciousness, Ananda, is impermanent,
conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, to vanishing, to
fading away, to cessation. Through its cessation, cessation is spoken of.

When an Arhat dies, he/she enters into a Parinibbana, a blissful unconditioned state of total Unbinding. It could best be described as the final freedom and liberation from the cycle of Samsara; an awe-inspiring liberation of cosmic awareness not subject to birth and death.
It's hard to describe. Even the great Blessed One himself, The Buddha, didn't go into much detail because the scope of parinibbana escapes worldly language.
(Source: "Parinibbana Sutra: Total Unbinding", Access to Insight)
Nibbana remains not Vinnana by Ven. Ajahn Sujato wrote:When passages such as the 'anidassana vinnana' or the 'pabhassara citta' are invoked to lend support for the notion that Nibbana is an eternal cosmic awareness that survives the death of an arahant, the first question we should ask is, 'Do these phrases actually refer clearly to the state of an arahant after death?' If they don't, they are irrelevant to the problem. We all agree that an arahant is conscious before their death.
Arguments for the 'eternal-consciousness Nibbana' almost invariably tend to slip from talking about the citta or vinnana in this life to the state after death. It is a subtle sleight of hand, which pivots on the ambiguity of the term Nibbana, and is hidden by the conceptual fog that mere mention of the term evokes. Read the Wikipedia article for a good example of how this works.
Nibbana is an enigma, elusive, threatening, uncompromising. It will never be tamed, no matter how hard we try to pretend that it's something like something. It's not. It's nothing like anything.
coreycook950 wrote:..So I say "awe-inspiring liberation of awareness"....
I say "Not subject to birth & death" because an Arhat, after death, is no longer subject to any more birth and death.
Do you see why I say this?

Picky eater
My five-year old is very picky eater. She prefer processed foods which I know is not good for her. Even if I force her to eat healthy foods, she still don't like it, and worst, she won't eat at all. In the end, she wins. I don't want her to go for a day with empty stomach. Will this just pass and for how long will she be like this?
18th January 2014 07:33 AM #2
Dear Leslie,
It's difficult isn't it. I can highly recommend this article by Dr Sears: 17 Tips for Pleasing the Picky Eater which includes tips like: having a grazing plate (that they can come and go to throughout the day), cut vegetables into interesting shapes with a cookie cutter and involve your child in planning and cooking meals (with careful supervision!).
I hope you will also find this gentle parenting article on helping a picky eater (from Little Hearts Parenting) helpful and reassuring.
This will pass but it is hard to say when. One day you will look back and see it was just a phase I hope these tips help you and your daughter in the meantime.
Best wishes,

That tips are great. We will try that and hopefully she will like it. I learned that foods also play a great part in thier behavior and I am very concerned about it. Thank you so much.
20th January 2014 06:25 AM #4
You are very welcome Leslie. I really hope that some of these ideas work for your family.
Yes you are right - a child's diet is key in keeping their behaviour on track. A healthy breakfast which enables energy to slowly be released in your child's body throughout the morning is really important. Try to allow your daughter access to as much fresh fruit and vegetables as she wants. Eating wholegrain foods also help to keep a child's sugar levels more constant and so help with consistent behaviour.
Do let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,

Rolfe D. Mandel
2010 Kirk Bryan Award
Presented to Rolfe D. Mandel
Citation by Alan H. Simmons and E. Arthur Bettis
The 2010 Geological Society of America Kirk Bryan Award is presented to Dr. Rolfe D. Mandel, Executive Director of the Odyssey Geoarchaeological Research Program and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Kansas. The award is for his 2008 paper Buried Paleoindian-age landscapes in stream valleys of the central plains, USA, published in Geomorphology. The paper is a masterful merging of stratigraphic, geomorphological and archaeological data across the Central Plains that addresses long-standing questions in fluvial geomorphology and stratigraphy, landscape development and cultural history. Rolfe presents results from more than two decades of his interdisciplinary research in the region, focusing on two tasks; (1) a field-based quantitative evaluation of fluvial response to environmental change across the Pleistocene/ Holocene boundary and (2) analysis of how geological processes have filtered the archaeological record of the region's earliest inhabitants.
In his usual fashion, Rolfe accomplishes these tasks through exhaustive field work that supports systematic hypotheses testing. As one support letter put it "The shear numbers of sites studied in detail and the area over which they are found are actually quite staggering." Rolfe goes far beyond previous work in the Central Plains by systematically investigating the stratigraphic record of valleys through the drainage hierarchy. The result is a comprehensive picture of how the region's entire fluvial system behaved during a period of major environmental change. He uses alluvial and soil stratigraphic studies supported by a robust radiocarbon chronology to thoroughly demonstrate that response of the fluvial system to climate and vegetation changes varied systematically through the drainage hierarchy.
The second major accomplishment of the paper is resolution of a long-standing archaeological debate about the region's first inhabitants. He applies his extensive stratigraphic data set to addressing reasons for the apparent paucity of Central Plains Paleoindian sites, while surrounding parts of the Great Plains and eastern Rockies are rich in these sites. Rolfe tackles this complex issue with an attention to pedologic, stratigraphic and paleoenvironmental data coupled with a detailed knowledge of regional archaeological manifestations. He demonstrates that the lack of Paleoindian sites is likely more apparent than real, concluding that geological filters control site visibility and preservation, rather than of an actual lack of human occupation. The sheer number of study sites, their wide geographic distribution and a very robust chronology provide unequivocal support for Rolfe's conclusions. Not content to merely demonstrate why sites appear to be so rare, he also provides realistic targets for future investigations to further his pioneering work on the peopling of the Central Plains. As Jim Knox, one of the numerous supporters of Rolfe's nomination, put it, this is simply a "great influential paper."
This detailed and comprehensive single-authored paper epitomizes the type of regional interdisciplinary research that Kirk Bryan pioneered and promoted; extensive field study with attention to detail followed by careful analysis of relevant data that leads to thoughtful conclusions. Like the namesake of this award, Rolfe's influence and experience are wide-ranging. He has made significant geomophological, geoarchaeological and archaeological contributions in areas as diverse as the Central Plains, the Big Bend region of southwest Texas, the Ohio River Valley, Jordan, and the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Many of the more than 30 supporters of Rolfe's nomination for this award commented on their respect for his professionalism, commitment to mentoring, unselfish collaboration and contributions to Quaternary Science. Dr. Reid Ferring put it best: "In this very real way I believe that (Rolfe) mirrors the standards established by the namesake for this award." We should all be proud to recognize Rolfe, our friend and colleague, with this, the 2010 GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division Kirk Bryan Award.
2010 Kirk Bryan Award — Response by Rolfe D. Mandel
Thank you, Alan and Art, for your kind words, and for nominating my article for the 2010 Kirk Bryan Award. I also thank my friends and colleagues who supported the nomination. I feel honored that the QG&G Kirk Bryan Award Committee selected me for such recognition, and I am truly humbled to be in the company of the previous awardees, many of whom are my heroes. This brings me to a strange coincidence. The day before I received notification of this award I began a lecture in my geoarchaeology class with the following confession: "Kirk Bryan is one of my heroes." Blank stares were on most faces. One student cautiously asked if Kirk Bryan had been on the TV show "American Idol." It was obvious that virtually none of the students knew of whom I was talking about, much less why I considered him worthy of admiration. They did not know that Kirk Bryan played a role in my career, and even influenced the composition of the paper that is receiving recognition this evening.
During the early 1970s, while I was an undergraduate geography student at the University of Texas, my mentor and close friend, Curt Sorenson, introduced me to Kirk Bryan's work. One of the assigned readings in Curt's soil class was a 1943 American Journal of Science article by Bryan and Claude Albritton entitled "Soil phenomena as evidence of climate changes." Their study area was in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, a place close to my heart, and I found the idea of using soils as proxies for Quaternary climate change a fascinating concept. Bryan's work, as well as Peter Birkeland's remarkable book, Soils and Geomorphology, got me excited about soil stratigraphy and influenced my graduate research and subsequent focus on soils as components of Quaternary landscape evolution. In 1996 I literally followed in Kirk Bryan's footsteps when I reinvestigated the type locality of the Calamity Creek Formation in the Big Bend region of Texas. Unlike me, Bryan and Albritton did not have the luxury of radiocarbon dating and stable carbon isotope analysis, yet their chronology and reconstruction of late-Quaternary climate change, inferred entirely from the morphology and physical properties of buried soils, were remarkably accurate. This is a humbling lesson for all of us.
Kirk Bryan spent most of his career working with archaeologists, especially those who focused on the Paleoindian record. I have done the same thing. Bryan died in Cody, Wyoming, while visiting the Horner archaeological site. It is good to know he passed away doing what he enjoyed in life: looking at soils and archaeological landscapes. I can only hope that when I take my last breath I am looking at a buried alluvial soil somewhere in the Central Great Plains.
In the course of my career many friends and colleagues have been a source of enthusiasm and support. I thank my "dirt brothers," Art Bettis and Ed Hajic, and fellow geoarchaeolgists Paul Goldberg, Vance Holliday, Reid Ferring, and Julie Stein. It has been a privilege to work with some world-class archaeologists, including Alan Simmons, Mark Lynott, Jack Hofman, Alston Thoms, Neal Lopinot, Joe Saunders, and Bob Mallouf, to name a few. I am especially grateful to Millard Brent, who in 1971 took me under his wing and pointed me in the right direction, and to my mentors, Curt Sorenson and Wakefield Dort, for their guidance, patience and friendship. Also, thanks goes to Joe and Ruth Cramer, who established an endowment that supports much of my research at the University of Kansas. Last, but certainly not least, I am grateful to my wife, Sharon, and my son, Daniel, for enduring my frequent departures to places often far from home. Their tolerance and encouragement, and the support of my friends and colleagues, have been my inspiration. Once again thanks to all of you for the recognition that now links my name to my hero, Kirk Bryan.


description: Johnny Rooks usually prefer vulnerable chicks as a meal, but one ambitious group targets prey much larger than themselves.

title: Johnny Rooks Stalk Fur Seal Pup

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
It’s the height of summer on the Falkland Islands, and a group of feathered pirates takes wing…
Their quest? Satisfying their hunger by any and all means available…which means terrorizing their neighbors.
But just who is this masked bandit? He’s none other than the striated caracara, also known as Johnny Rook.
Despite their sometimes unsavory reputation, Johnny Rook is among the most intelligent of the bird species—they’re fearless, daring, and famously curious. They’re also one of the rarest—they exist only on the Falkland Islands and a few other small islands off the coast of South America. The population is thought to be less than 2500.
Johnny Rooks will eat just about anything but chicks are a favorite. They share these islands with the world’s largest breeding population of endangered black-browed albatross…and this season’s brood has arrived. This little guy doesn’t stand a chance.
Young gangs of Johnny Rooks are even bolder…going after prey much larger than themselves. This Johnny Rook is resolute, using his long talons to dig into the fur seal pup’s back. He will not give up.
The whole gang appears…wanting a piece of the action. But the pup’s cries don’t go unheeded, and mother comes to the rescue.
Their plot foiled, the birds take to the wing again and wait for the next opportunity.

Israeli soldier posts disturbing Instagram photo of child in crosshairs of his rifle
Update, 19 February
Israeli soldier Mor Ostrovski subsequently deleted his Instragram account after the global attention his image received. However we have now posted screen captures of his account below showing the main account page and the sniper photo in its original context.
Original Post
This disturbing image shows the back of the head of a child or young man as seen in the crosshairs of a rifle. The photo was posted on the personal Instagram account of Mor Ostrovski, a 20-year old Israeli soldier in a sniper unit.
The context – particularly the character of the buildings seen in the background of the image – strongly suggests the child could be Palestinian.
There are no other images to suggest that the photographer actually fired at the person in the image in this case. The image is simply tasteless and dehumanizing. It embodies the idea that Palestinian children are targets.
It reminded me of a chilling account another Israeli soldier gave to the group Breaking the Silence about how Israeli soldiers in Nablus in 2006-2007 would deliberately fire at children, sometimes using live ammunition and sometimes rubber-coated steel bullets:
Where do you aim? Do you choose some kid at random?
Yes. Choose someone, aim at his body.
Center of mass.
10 meters' range at the center of mass?
I remember one time we put a kid down. We didn't kill him but someone hit the kid in the chest and he fell and probably lost consciousness, or at least, it was pretty close. About 10 meters.
Although this and other accounts documented by Breaking the Silence amount to war crimes, no judicial investigations have taken place to bring those responsible to justice.
Recently, Benjamin Doherty pointed out how the Israeli army has wittingly and unwittingly used Instagram and other social media to promote itself. These images,which Doherty calls "war sporno" use "male and female bodies to eroticize the military, to displace violence against Palestinians, to encourage Western publics to identify with Israeli soldiers."
Ostrovski's account includes other images of himself and his weapons:
The photo at the top of this post, of a child in the gunsights of an Israeli sniper, published on the Instragram account of Israeli soldier Mor Ostrovski, went viral on the Internet and in global media after The Electronic Intifada exposed it. Now the Israeli army has been forced to respond.
Israel's Ynet reported:
The IDF's Spokesperson's Unit said that "this is a severe incident which doesn't accord with the IDF's spirit and values. The issue was brought to the attention of the soldier's commanding officers, will be examined and properly handled."
It was one of two recent incidents of Israeli soldiers posting abusive images on social media, the website said.
The statement by the army cannot be taken as an indication of real accountability or concern – the fact is that Israeli soldiers are almost never properly investigated or punished for harming Palestinians, let alone for such photos.
The army's concern should, however, be seen as a sign of embarrassment that such photos harm its attempts to conceal the brutal and dehumanizing nature inherent in Israeli occupation and colonial rule over Palestinians and to deceptively market the "IDF" as "the most moral army in the world."
Update, 19 February: Images of Mor Ostrovski's now deleted Instagram account
Following the global publicity his photo received, Ostrovski deleted his Instagram account. These screenshots were taken before he deleted the account.

Rev. Eric Lynk and his wife, Rev. Margaret Collins, credit their dog, Gizmo, with saving their lives last week by awakening them as smoke poured through their house in Hunter River.
©Guardian photo by Brian McInnis
At nighttime, Gizmo, a six-year-old Labrador retriever mix, usually keeps to himself downstairs at his home in Hunter River.
Upstairs sleep his masters, Rev. Margaret Collins, priest-in-charge of St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Crapaud, and Rev. Eric Lynk of Winsloe United Church.
During yet another nasty storm on Tuesday, April 1, Gizmo went against his consistent nature of staying put on the first floor while the couple, who adopted him one year ago from the P.E.I. Humane Society, slept peacefully one floor above.
On this particular occasion, Gizmo made his way up the stairs, stood in the doorway of the master bedroom, and rattled his dog tags by shaking his head.
His apparent intention to awaken Collins and Lynk was successful. Gizmo then whimpered when the two of them woke up.
"I think he realized that somehow this was not the way things are normally,'' says Collins.
"I don't know that he has ever awakened us in the middle of the night.''
The couple soon discovered that the cause of the dog's distress was thick smoke billowing throughout the house.
At around 3:30 a.m., Collins had added a couple of logs to the woodstove that provides supplementary heat to the house.
Thirty minutes later, Gizmo was bolting to the rescue.
The couple would later learn that ice had capped the opening to the chimney.
"When we got downstairs, we couldn't see each other in the smoke,'' says Collins.
She is certain Gizmo saved her life and that of her husband. Collins believes the pair would have been overcome by smoke if not for the dog's jingling alarm (the smoke did not set off any smoke detectors in the house).
Collins says her sister sized up the situation best. First, Collins and Lynk gave Gizmo a new lease on life adopting him from a shelter, and now the pet has returned the favour.
"We bought him a new box of treats when we finally could get out (from the storm),'' says Collins.
She says dogs are always more than simply companions.
"You feel,'' she observes, "that this is somehow a deeper connection.''
After putting out the fire in the woodstove, the couple opened all the doors and windows to air out the house as the storm raged outside.
They were not plowed out until the following morning.
Extensive smoke and soot damage was caused to the house and its contents.
Still, the ordeal has provided cause for plenty of blessings, not least of all, of course, the couple being saved.
"People have been wonderful . . . just the emotional support of our congregations,'' says Collins.
"People have been here and had us to their houses. It's really wonderful to have people like this in your lives.''

LONG BEACH (CNS)- Four people were transported to hospitals, three in unknown condition and one with minor injuries, after a black Toyota 4 Runner rolled over and one person was ejected on the Ocean Boulevard on-ramp to the Long Beach (710) Freeway early this morning, a Long Beach firefighter said.
The accident was reported at 1:55 a.m., said firefighter Matt Dobberpuhl.
"There were five people inside the car. One person was ejected and two self-extricated, but two were trapped inside," Dobberpuhl said.
Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the two people who were trapped. They were transported to hospitals, along with the person who was ejected, he said.
One of the people who got out on their own later complained about pain and was also transported to a hospital, Dobberpuhl said.

Is he a sad and deluded man with little control over his actions, or a manipulative extortionist responsible for a carefully calculated crime?
This is the question facing District Court Judge Peter Zahra as he sentences Sydney's so-called "hoax collar bomber" Paul Douglas Peters.
Peters' crime, carried out 15 months ago in the leafy, lower north shore suburb of Mosman, is one of the more bizarre and brazen in Sydney's recent history.
Wearing a bright, rainbow-coloured balaclava, the then 50-year-old walked into the $12 million home of 18-year-old schoolgirl Madeleine Pulver and tied a black metal box around her neck with a bike chain.
Attached was an extortion note claiming that the box contained sophisticated plastic explosives, and threatening Ms Pulver and her family with a "tragically avoidable explosion" if they failed to send "funds" to a supplied email address.
It took 10 hours for police to be certain that the bomb was a fake, by which time Ms Pulver had been badly traumatised and others sent into a state of near-hysteria.
State and federal police launched a major investigation, which led them within days to Louisville, Kentucky, where Peters was arrested on August 15.
After initially denying any involvement with the crime, Peters pleaded guilty to aggravated break-and-enter and detaining for advantage in March this year, much to the relief of his teenage victim and her parents, Bill and Belinda Pulver.
It emerged that Peters had become obsessed with a science fiction book he was writing – a dystopic novel that included the kidnapping of a young girl by a black-hearted protagonist.
During three recent sentencing hearings, Peters' lawyers argued that, affected by bi-polar disorder, alcoholism and depression brought on by the loss of his job and his marriage, he had committed the crime under the delusion that he was the central character in his novel.
But the prosecution painted a very different picture.
Crown Prosecutor Margaret Cunneen SC, said Peters had been angry at losing his wealth and status and had decided to "get it all back in one go".
She said Peters had come to Sydney from his home in Kentucky intending to extort money from the beneficiary of a large trust fund – the James M. Cox trust.
He had abandoned this target when he stumbled across a prominent Sydney businessman who lived on the same battle-axe block as the Pulvers.
According to the Crown, it was a simple mistake that led Peters to the Pulvers' door – he had mistaken the Pulvers' house for that of his intended target.
Sentencing Judge Peter Zahra has indicated a degree of scepticism towards Peters' claims of delusion, telling the court in one hearing that he believed the crime was calculated and carried out with precision.
Today, he will rule on whether Peters' August 2011 extortion attempt was the bizarre act of a sick man – in which case he may avoid further jail time completely – or a calculated attack by an angry individual, a finding that would see him locked up for a very long time.

Oh that Khloé Kardashian Odom … she's such a tease!
The younger sister of Kim Kardashian snapped and posted a pic of her niece North West on Instagram, and while we can't see her cute little face, we can see that the baby of Kim and Kanye West is decked out in a striped onesie and had a blanket nearby.
(And hello there, gigantic diamond watch. Yowza.)

Mines' Department of Mining Engineering receives $100,000 from Mintec
GOLDEN, Colo., Jan. 26, 2010 – Colorado School of Mines received a $100,000 contribution from Mintec, Inc., a global software and service provider for the mining industry. The company's support for Mines' Department of Mining Engineering will make a real difference for students and faculty.
"We are very thankful for Mintec's support that will enable us to upgrade our computer-aided mine design laboratory and provide a hands-on design experience for Colorado School of Mines students," said Kadri Dagdelen, mining engineering department head.
The department's computer laboratory upgrade is planned for construction in June; a long-anticipated addition to its home, Brown Hall, is now under construction on campus. The current laboratory accommodates up to about 40 students at computer stations equipped with mining engineering-related software packages, including Mintec's own MineSight®.
With this gift from Mintec, not only will the Department of Mining Engineering see upgrades to its computers and software, but also improvements to other lab equipment including podiums, projectors and projection screens. "The new lab will accommodate nearly twice as many students as the current facility, with vastly improved computer technology and a layout more conductive to live and web-based instruction," said Dagdelen.
In addition to its recent commitment, Mintec invests in Mines students with annual scholarship support for future industry leaders. Mintec Chairman Fred Banfield, a 1964 Mines alumnus, said, "We are extremely pleased to support the school with this donation. CSM has been an innovator in the training of mining engineers for decades, and the computer lab is just another way in which the department excels in the education of mining engineering."
Mintec is a global software and service provider for the mining industry. The company's pioneering software system, MineSight®, serves more than 300 sites and 3,500 users. Since 1970, Mintec has grown to 160 employees staffing headquarters in Tucson, Ariz., and eight regional offices on five continents. For more information, visit www.minesight.com.

The presentation will offer a range of views and observations about the unique challenges facing the biotech startup where the core science emanates from the university. Our panelists—representing the point of view of the executive, the university and the venture capital investor—will comment on the tensions and competing objectives faced by the company as it seeks to secure appropriate licensing terms for the commercialization of the IP and investment terms for the foundation to fund the company's growth.
Questions that will be addressed include:
• What are the main parameters that influence UCSF's OTM in licensing out core IP?
• How much latitude does the company have in navigating between OTM's objectives and the objectives of the venture capital investor?
• What are the showstoppers in company organization from the investor's standpoint?
These and other mission-critical issues will be addressed as our panel discusses investor insights, company requirements and university concerns across this challenging landscape.

Arian Foster has a whopping 2.80 points against the Jags. And my other players are playing like shit.
In a game where the score was 43-37, Rashad Jennings had an absolutely amazing, -1 yards. He would of had a better fantasy game if he had been injured. Thank god I didn't start him.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
I forgot to pick up another defense. Lol.....
Don't worry, you'll still beat me. Which is really sad.

I can't catch a fucking break. Going to lose by 10+ with a 33 point receiver and my opponent still hasn't played every player.
Think I can hold a ~15 point lead with Marshall and the Bears defense against a rookie backup quarterback still to go for my opponent? I don't! Matt Ryan picked a bad week to shit the bed. Probably cost me a playoff spot in my other league since I ended up with him in both.
Oh and I just read Gronk broke his arm. Surgery, out a couple weeks. I'm so screwed.

I've had good luck with Pick-ups Picked up a WR that got me 22 points Maybe I won't finish last after all
But of course I didn't play Michael Turner. That would have been stupid....
Draynay, you lucky SOB. Santana Moss needed ONE POINT to beat you. That's it. No touches. None. Zero. Nada.
Dammit Tusken.... Why couldn't you beat Skars!!! If I could make the playoffs after being 2-5 at one point would be awesome.

Last week of the season. Three people locked in, two people locked out. Seven people fighting for the last five spots. The good news for me is there is a very slim chance I will have to play Arlee again who has thrashed me in both our meetings thanks to big weeks from the Giants. I have the inside track to make the playoffs in two of my three leagues and a decent chance of making it in my third. So I could either make it in all three leagues or actually miss the playoffs in all three leagues. One of them is all but a total lock to make it. I'm the highest scoring team in the league, yet somehow 8-5. If I was to lose this week and score 180 fewer points that a 7-6 guy below me I could be bumped out. Essentially impossible sure, but still a very, very small chance of it happening.

Man I think if I would have actually played this year and not keep forgeting to log on I would be doing better /facepalm

Future talks about his son & diaper duty
Listen to Future on iHeartRadio | Listen to Ciara on iHeartRadio
New daddy Future is beaming about his first son.
The rapper spoke to reporters during the Bacardi Rum and Vice Celebrate Cuban Independence Day in NYC where he was scheduled to perform and was admittedly missing his little guy.
"She's feeling great,"said Future of his wife-to-be Ciara. "She's with our son right now [in L.A.]," the rapper-producer added. "I just texted her when I got off the airplane, and I'm going to get on the phone with her to see how everything is going."
"I want him to be better than me," Future said of his second child. (The rapper has an 11-year-old son with model Jessica Smith.) "I would encourage him in anything he wants to do," Future said. "I want to be behind him, of course."
Before any mentoring takes place, Future will have to tackle another role first: Diaper duty. The rapper also admitted he plans to get his hands dirty. "You have to say you did it," he said. "I'll make sure I change a few diapers—a hands-on Dad!"
Ciara has been crying tears of joy ever since she left the hospital with her little guy. She took to Twitter to express her abundance of happiness:
As I Leave The Hospital, I Cry Uncontrollable Happy Tears:)..I'm Now Responsible 4 Being The Best Mom I Can Be...(cont)

Manhas resigns, commissioners call for Cogan's resignation
Three of four Multnomah County commissioners are calling for Chair Jeff Cogan's resignation. During Thursday's board meeting, they will consider a resolution that states Cogan's inappropriate intimate relationship with Health Department employee Sonia Manhas has diminished his ability to lead and has damaged the credibility of the county.
Click here to read the resolution: View Document
On Wednesday, Manhas submitted a letter of resignation to the county's human resources department.
Click here to read the letter: View Document.
The letter shows Manhas will remain on paid sick leave until Aug. 30 with a doctor's permission and leave the county with a neutral professional recommendation.
*Image courtesy of KATU News
In an e-mail to Multnomah County employees, Manhas said she has been wanting to share her side of "this very complicated, very public story."
Here's an excerpt from the e-mail:
"I am deeply, deeply apologetic for the harm, disruption, and distraction that my actions have caused to the good work that Multnomah County employees, particularly that Health Department employees, take on every day as public servants. This work to improve the lives of our most vulnerable neighbors is so important, and it is incredibly painful to accept that I have interrupted and discredited any of your efforts toward the Health Department's mission."
She also criticized the media for reporting inaccuracies about her work.

On Tuesday, during an interview with KGW-TV, Cogan renewed his apologies to the public, the county, his family and friends. He defended Manhas' working with the county and again said his influence was not a factor in Manhas' recent promotion within the Health Department.
Cogan, during his television interview, and Manhas, in her e-mail, both apologized for any harm that has been done to hinder the progress of the county's "good work."
Cogan said he supports an outside conduct and ethics review to determine if county resources were used in connection to the affair.

Mines hosts public geobiology symposium
GOLDEN, Colo., June 2, 2008 – Colorado School of Mines will host "The Energetics of Life," a public, one-day symposium focused on geobiology on June 20 as part the 2008 International Geobiology Course.
The symposium begins at 8 a.m. in Coolbaugh Hall, Room 209, 1012 14th St., on the Mines campus. A light breakfast, snacks and lunch will be provided. A post-event reception will be held in the Mines Geology Museum, 1310 Maple St.
"'The Energetics of Life' will cover microbial life and survival techniques. To live in an extreme environment – such as the boiling hot water of Yellowstone Hot Springs, a volcanic rock on the bottom of the ocean or life that is wedged into pore space hundreds of meters below the ocean floor – a microbe must make remarkable adaptations and invent mechanisms to survive and thrive in unusual and harsh settings," said John Spear, Mines assistant professor of environmental science and engineering.
The symposium is sponsored by the Agouron Institute, Colorado School of Mines and the National Science Foundation.
Founded in 1874, Colorado School of Mines was established to serve the needs of the local mining industry. Today, the School has an international reputation for excellence in both engineering education and the applied sciences with special expertise in the development and stewardship of the Earth's resources.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Playmaker247, Jan 14, 2013.
This is exactly what we've been looking for!
It wont let me post the link
I like him but is has some major problems. He takes bad angles in coverage, he ia looking more for the big hit than to make the right play. Also not a square up solid tackler, more of a lay the shoulder hit tackler.
Angles and tackling can be coached so I would be fine with him depending on who else Is tjere when we pick. But he isn't my favorite safety in this draft.
Word is Dallas really likes Reid and Vcarro.
I think we take either OL or S in the first round. Warmack/Cooper (OG) or Vaccaro/Elam (S). These are are most immediate needs.
This guy is a player, but I kind of think he's overrated. Sorry, that must sound snobbish.
He seems like he's at his best near the LOS--kind of like Roy Williams.
His ball skills also don't seem special.
Love how he hits and he has great passion.
But it'd take a 1st round pick...so no thanks.
The kid out of South Carolina may be a better fit for the Tampa 2.
I agree with what you said about Elam. But I think Vcarro, Reid, Williams, Thomas, and Rambo are the best safties for kiffin defense.
Reid in the second works for me.
Jefferson, Williams or Rambo would be great fits for this defense. Jefferson has the instincts to really be a great safety I also love how he supports the run. Love Williams leadership and passion and Rambo is just a ball hawk. Cant go wrong with any of these guys
Reid in the 2nd round...
Really impressed with the tape of TJ McDonald against Stanford. Kiffin had him playing all over the field and performing just about every assignment you could ask out of a safety. A wake up call for those who believe in these flat 2 dimensional caricatures of what a safety does in his defense. People need to stop clinging to these elementary school concepts with both hands.
I don't really understand the Reid love. I have watched a little bit of him and have not been impressed. He looks like he has been exposed now that he isn't surrounded by NFL talent in that defensive secondary.
It's funny that the OP is sold on Elam after watching a highlight video. Come one guys, of corse he is going to look good in all his highlights.
Reid was asked to play more in the box and play more man coverage this year due to all the nfl talent in the secondary leaving. Of course he isn't going to look as good without claiborne, Peterson, or honeybager, but who would.
Reid is best when he can sit back in zone and watch the play develop. That is kust what kiffin wants from his safeties. When we had Ryan I didn't want anything to do with Red but now he fits the scheme.
Inside info? All I care about is getting the best covering safety, violent hits dont win, covering does.
Yes kind of, I have a family member that is very close to the nfl and nfl scouts
But I'm sure Dallas is high on other players as well
S Josh Evans, Florida (6-1, 200, 4.54) -- When discussing Florida safety prospects in this draft, most conversations will be dominated by the hard-hitting Matt Elam. However, Evans deserves to be mentioned in the same breath. A rangy, physical player, he led the Gators in tackles this past season with 83 stops, adding three interceptions and six passes defended. Evans is aggressive near the line of scrimmage and surprisingly does a nice job working through traffic, but he needs to improve his consistency in space, often taking streaky angles and gaining poor positioning in coverage. While Elam is the more well-known safety from Gainesville, Evans matches his toughness and energy and isn't far behind him in regards to his NFL future.
I would be shocked if we went OL or S instead of DL in Round 1.
I don't understand how there isn't more love for Rambo. The guy is a perfect FS to compliment Church in a cover 2 type of scheme.
He might not be as good a tackler as guys like Vaccaro or Reid, but I don't think there is a better ball hawk type available this year.
^this has had 16 interceptions in his career.
But he was suspended for 1st game in the '11 season for possession of a marijuana joint and 4 games to start this past season for failing a drug test. Claims he ate brownies that he didn't know were laced with marijuana. Of course this will probably drop his stock a little and if he has that all behind him, he'd be a great day 2 pick up.
Yeah. Rambo could be a really nice fit, if Church is healthy. Tackling is a huge factor in this scheme though. But it's not like he's a terrible tackler.

BC Takes SAC Home OpenerDecember 1, 2012
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados downed the Mars Hill College Lions 79-74 in their South Atlantic Conference home opener in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday evening.
BC took a 38-36 advantage on a Micheala Watkins layup with 2:08 remaining in the first half, and led for the duration of the contest.
The Tornados led by as many as 14 in the second half before an 11-2 run by the Lions cut the BC lead to two points with 4:45 remaining.
Alyssa Cutshaw responded with a three to push the BC lead out to five at 73-68. While Mars Hill didn't go quietly, the Tornados were able to hold on for win.
Watkins tied her career high with 10 steals to go along with 15 points for the double-double. Watkins also recorded 10 steals against St. Andrews on November 20, 2010.
The BC defense forced the Lions into 22 turnovers in the game, which the Tornados converted into 12 points.
The two teams went back and forth in the first half, but the Tornados were able to separate themselves to take a 43-38 lead into the break.
Tuccoa Brackett scored a game-high 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor, providing a scoring spark off the bench for BC. Brackett was also active on the defensive end for the Tornados, blocking five shots and recording a steal.
Brevard is on the road as they visit the Young Harris Mountain Lions at the YHC Basketball Arena on Sunday, December 2nd at p.m.

Wade Hayes again 'cancer free' & working on new album
Listen to Wade Hayes on iHeartRadio
Wade Hayes says he's healthy and working on a new album. The country star, who has battled colon cancer twice over the past three years, tells Billboard.com the first song he wrote for the disc is based on his latest recovery.
The singer explains that Go Live Your Life is what his oncologist said to him after receiving his test results, which showed he was "clear and cancer free." Hayes says that message of experiencing and enjoying life is what he's trying to convey in his music, and how he's trying to live each day, because "you never know what's waiting around the corner."
Hayes adds that it's "painfully obvious" to him that God is "the reason" for his survival, because his diagnosis "was dire." And he says now that he's "made it through two bouts of cancer," he wants to "show people it can be done." But while Wade gives the credit to God he also did his part, with diet and lifestyle changes and working with his doctor.
Hayes is also supporting the efforts of the pharmaceutical company Genentech in raising awareness about colon cancer and the importance of early detection, which significantly improves a person's chances for recovery.

This year I am going to be making some changes for the better for DG.
1. I've been persuaded by the marketing department at Smoothwall that the DG
website needs a lick of paint and some proper management and a content
management system. The form of this change is not yet decided so I'll keep
you posted as the plan matures. Package maintainers: the URLs to download
are likely to change but I will give plenty of notice before that happens.
2. Submissions for DG such as bug fixes or feature additions take FAR TOO
LONG to get added to DG, if ever. The reason is that it gets done by a
Smoothwall developer when there is time, which is never. (I delegate all DG
development and have done for a long time now). So instead I'd like to make
DG more open and take on an integration manager from the DG users community.
They would have read/write on the revision control repository (which we may
change to git instead of svn) and eventually ability to make new releases.
They will be responsible for maintaining quality and vetting submissions.
Sorry this is an unpaid job. One of the distribution package maintainers
would be a likely candidate or perhaps one of the other contributors. They
will also handle issues such as copyright and licensing; DG2 is GPLv2 so
they need to check the status of submissions to ensure no license clashes.
And all the other usual integration manage jobs. This is really good
news! I wish I had thought of it sooner. Do not volunteer - yet. I will
announce when I am ready to find one later this year.
3. There is a huge backlog of features/bug fixes/etc which have been
submitted by people including Smoothwall developers which has not made it to
release. We will be getting round to that before we hand over to an
integration manager from the DG users community.
The swirling rumours of a DG3 are I am afraid wishful thinking at this
point. DG3 is no more. Despite talking about it for years and even a
closed-source alpha existing. DG2 will be continued to have features and
bug fixes for the foreseeable future. All the development work on on DG3
(which was 100% done by Smoothwall employed developers) has been moved in to
a different Smoothwall project as part of their commercial product.
Guardian will be taking separate commercial and Open Source paths.
I am sorry I am unable to regularly read the DG mailing list. I simply don't have the
Finally, I.d like to thank you all for your on-going support and
