Is it the Department of Law Enforcement at Southern Oregon College, the Department of Criminology at Southern Oregon State College, or the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Southern Oregon University? It depends on when and who you are asking.
The Early Years: Years of Development, Change, and Growth
The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice traces its roots back to winter or spring term1966 when former university dean, Vaughn Bornet wrote a justification and proposal for a Law Enforcement Program. This program was presented and accepted a few days later in Salem, Oregon.That fall term when a former FBI agent taught the first classes in the program, Southern Oregon College (SOC) was one of only 40 universities across the nation offering courses in specifically related to criminal justice.Thus, the department�s existence predates the explosion of criminal justice type programs across the United States in the late sixties and early seventies. In 1967 the �Law Enforcement Program� became the �Department of Law Enforcement.� From 1966 through 1970 the faculty reflected a rich blend of professional expertise including a former corrections officer, a local lawyer who later became a judge, a former San Jose Police Sergeant, a Medford police officer, and a former probation and parole officer.
1970-1994: Years of Expansion and Stability. (AKA: Six degrees of Berkeley)
In 1970, the Department hired Ivan Polk. Dr. Polk graduated with a B.A. in Criminology from UC Berkeley, earned his law degree from Lewis and Clark University in Portland, and served as a Multnomah County Sheriff�s deputy and sergeant. Dr. Polk taught many of the law classes, the investigations class, and chaired the department for 17 of his 24 year tenure.
In 1972 Joel (�Jay�) Summerhays, a former Berkeley police officer (who later earned his D. Crim. at UC Berkeley) was hired to teach the policing classes. Alumni of that era remember Dr. Summerhays� seminars on Classic Crimes and Jack the Ripper as well as his proclivity from teaching from the back of the room.
In 1973, James Brady joined the faculty.Dr, Brady, a former San Francisco area probation officer who completed his D. Crim. at UC Berkeley in 1974, washired to teach corrections classes.

With so many Berkeley criminologists on staff, it is no wonder that the department changed its name from the Department of Law Enforcement to the Department of Criminology in 1974. In 1975 the college followed suit, changing its name from Southern Oregon College to Southern Oregon State College (although President Natalie Sicuro began calling it �Southern� during his first academic year, 1980).
In 1976 the final member of the �Berkeley four� joined the department. Dr. Vernon Hubka, a former teaching fellow at Miles College and assistant professor at Florida State University was hired as the generalist--teaching theory and law. Dr. Hubka had earned his law degree from the University of Colorado in 1967 and his D. Crim. at UC Berkeley in 1975 and thus, was often referred to by students as �Dr. Dr.�
While other faculty members came and left during this time (Agnes McCarty and Dave Griswold, for example) SOSC criminology students in the seventies, eighties, and early nineties most remember the Department of Criminology as�Polk, Summerhays, Brady and Hubka.�
Dr. Vernon Hubka, Agnes McCartney, Dr. Jay Summerhays, Dr. Ivan Polk
Although the number of majors in the seventies and eighties was not recorded, the yearbook for 1979 reported that there were approximately 220 criminology majors enrolled at SOSC and �criminology graduates from SOSC have superior chances in getting job placements anywhere in Oregon.� Indeed, SOSC criminology grads from that time are currently employed as police chiefs, judges, corrections officers, lawyers, heads of departments of corrections, juvenile probation and parole officers, and even SOU professors of criminology and criminal justice and chemistry.

1994-Present: Many Changes and New Endeavors
In 1994, a former Berkeley, California peace officer, Dr. Vic Sims, was hired to fill the position vacated by the retirement of Dr. Polk. The following year, former Josephine County deputy district attorney and 1982 SOSC criminology graduate, Dr. Lore Rutz-Burri, was hired to fill the position vacated by Dr. Summerhays� retirement. (Jay continued to teach part-time until 1998). In 1998 Lee Ayers, a former San Diego peace officer and Texas school teacher, was hired in a joint position in criminology and Extended Campus Programs. She completed her Ph.D. and became a full faculty member in the department in 2001.In 1999 Dr. Brady fully retired.In 2001, Marny Rivera was hired to fill the vacancy which would be created by Vern Hubka�s retirement in Fall, 2001.She received her Ph.D. Crim. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania that year and had a joint appointment with the department and Extended Campus Programs serving as the distance learning coordinator.
Drs. Sims, Rutz-Burri, Ayers, and Rivera comprised the core faculty in the department from 2000 through 2007.Indeed, all four have served as chair of the department at various times from 1996-2007.In 2005, Dr. Thomas Owens (Ph.D, Organizational Development, University of Oregon) joined the Department of Criminal Justice (name changed in 2004) at Southern Oregon University (name changed in 2000)after a career in private industry and an investigator with the United States Investigative Services.In Fall 2006 Eric Mellgren, a 35 year police veteran and member of both the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Police Futurists International, joined our faculty and brought with him a wealth of expertise not only in leadership and law enforcement, but also in comparative criminal justice.
Importantly, the department has been aided by several full time, temporary faculty including a SOSC graduate and former Ashland Police Officer and deputy district attorney, a former legal aid attorney, and another former deputy district attorney who, in addition to teaching, was a news anchor for television channel ten, KTVL, a CBS affiliate. Additionally, the department has been enhanced by an outstanding group of adjunct faculty from many criminal justice professions, including an Oregon State Police criminal investigator, many police officers, many deputy district attorneys, a defense attorney, private attorneys, several probation and parole officers, corrections officers, and highly esteemed former Medford police chief (Ray Shipley) and Ashland police chiefs (Brown and Fleuter).
In his earlier history of the department, Dr. Sims identified the final phase from 1994 through the present as a period of maturity in which the �number of majors has increased each year without exception,� the faculty and criminology majors �have become increasingly visible at the annual Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and American Society of Criminology conferences,� the department has established a chapter of the Alpha Phi Sigma national criminal justice honor society, and the department has �staged an elaborate distance education program
In addition to the distance education program which started as EdNet in 1997-1998 and has developed a full-blown online degree completion program, the department has sponsored various simulation exercises.For example, since 2001 the department has worked with criminal justice agencies to put on a yearly �Lock-In� designed to simulate various enforcement skills, Lock In, a Mock Assessment Center designed to simulate hiring in criminal justice agencies (Spring 2005 and 2006), a CT: CSI Day in Fall, 2006 simulating communications response to terrorism attacks in the Rogue Valley, and finally �CSI Day: Ashland� designed to simulate collection and processing of forensic evidence (Spring 2006 and 2007).Students have also had the opportunity to tour correctional facilities.In 1997 and 1998, for example, students in the Woman and Crime Seminar toured the Oregon Women�s Prison, and since 2000, students have toured Pelican Bay State Prison each year. Finally, continuing to involve an increasing number of students in the ACJS conference, starting Fall 2006, faculty have also brought students to the Economic Crime Institute in Washington D.C.
On a less academic note, on May 20, 2006 the department hosted a 1930s gangster themed Murder Mysteryfundraising event for alumni and the wider campus community.The deparmtent raised money toward the refurbishing of the �designated crim rooms� Taylor 28/31 and Taylor 29/30.In fall 2006 the department received a 10,000 dollar grant from the Swigert Foundation for the room remodels which are expected to be completed in Summer 2007.
Although the department has been housed in Taylor Hall for its entire existence, in 1998 the faculty moved their offices from their longstanding location in the basement of Taylor Hall to its second floor.Curriculum changes include a movement away from requiring courses outside the major (such as psychology, political science, sociology and economics as was seen in the 1970s and 1980s), the establishment of a required practicum internship (sometime in the 1980s), the transition from three credit classes to four credit classes in 2000, and the abandonment in 2005 of the three elective tracks (law enforcement, corrections, law) to a system of electives which include any non-required criminology and criminal justice classes and select communications, political science, business, and psychology classes.
In 2005, Dr. Sims wrote in A Brief History. �This brief history found that during the first 39 years of its existence the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice employed about 17 fulltime professors and graduated more than 1,000 majors.During the 2004-2005 school year the Department recorded 316 majors, a record high for the Department. The Department�s brief history and all other evidence point to a bright, healthy, and successful future for the Department of criminology and Criminal Justice at Southern Oregon University.�
Drs. Polk, Brady, and Hubka have been enjoying their retirements from the department and university, but it is with sadness that this author reports the death of Dr. Summerhays in 1998 and the very recent and sudden passing of Dr. Sims in April 2007.
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Lore Rutz-Burri
Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Southern Oregon University

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
An open letter from the Uncyclopedia administrators to the viewing public:
- Dear Readers,
Today, January 5th, 2010, is the 5th anniversary of Uncyclopedia. It's hard to believe that it's been 1,826 long days since this site first began broadcasting its pirate signal and hacking into the Internet.
We wanted to thank everyone. Thanks to you admins, for being cool and sexy and awesome and also for writing this letter. Thanks to you regular users, who write the articles that some people actually think are tolerable, for some reason. Thanks to you IPs, who sometimes don't even vandalize featured articles, maybe. And most of all, thanks to you silent viewers, who browse quietly, reading our content as you boost our hitcount and allow yourselves to be bombarded with waveDafterRwaveIofNsubliminalKmessaging,CwhichOpaysKforEthe site. To everyone reading, thank you for somehow managing to tolerate this place.
Which brings us to the main part of this letter.
We're so sorry. Oh God, we are. We know we're the worst. And we try to fix it! Really! Well, try is kind of a strong word. It's more of a passive hope with no desire to put forth any actual effort. It's the thought that counts, right?
The point is, we didn't mean for it to turn out this way. We had all these great ideas about parodying Wikipedia and writing satire and being funny. The road to comedy hell is paved with good intentions, I suppose. But come on. Mr winkler is GAY? Fisher Price? I maed a yuky doody? Dan Kwon? Euroipods??? Even we don't know what the fuck we're doing. And we're sorry. Really, really, really sorry. We're sorry we even started this thing up. Honestly, what were we thinking? Letting people try to be funny on the internet? People on the internet aren't funny! If they were funny they would be funny in real life, and have no reason to be on the internet! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
It would be easy, perhaps, to blame the founder of Uncyclopedia, Chronarion, for what the site has become. So, we will blame the founder of Uncyclopedia, Chronarion, for what the site has become. Fuck you Chronarion. This is all your fault. A website for user-generated content that parodies Wikipedia...what a joke. And not a funny joke, either. This is Uncyclopedia, after all.
Anyways, to everyone too dumb to find a better website to waste all their free time on, we're terribly sorry, and thanks for viewing Uncyclopedia.
- The Admins
On that note, we direct you to the things that embarrass us the least.

Kamal from Kokata writes: For my non-professional home computer, which processor will be convenient: Double Core or Single Core ?
Hi, Kamal. Thanks for the great question.
I think that the question these days isn't really "single core or dual core", but "dual core or quad core." I recently upgraded my cell phone from a single core Samsung Captivate to a dual-core Sony Xperia Ion, and let me tell you… the speed difference on Angry Birds is amazing.
So this question… like so many where computers are concerned… is "What will you be using your computer for?" If you basically use your e-mail for banking, chat, homework, maybe the occasional YouTube video, then a single-core processor is fine. And you can get them at bargain-basement prices (if you can find them) because retailers are trying to get rid of them. If you're a casual gamer, like to stream HD Netflix movies, then you'll probably want to go with a dual-core processor. If you're a hardcore gamer or you edit HD movies and don't want to wait a week for them to render, or you run architectural software or something like that, you might think about breaking down and getting a quad-core processor.
Here's a way to think of the difference in speeds. Have you ever been at the bank or the theater with a long line and only one cashier or teller open? Things drag merrily along at a snail's pace as you creep toward your destination. Then suddenly, miraculously, they open a second window. How much does that speed the line up? Then, they open a third and fourth window, which allows them to break the existing line in two, and process two people at a time from each of the lines. NOW how fast does the line move?
AMD tried introducing a tri-core processor for a while, but benchmark testing proved it to be not appreciably faster than the dual-core. The reason? It was still feeding from one line of data. With an odd number of cores, you lose the ability to sub-divide the line of data.
I hope that this helps.

"Neither you nor your people knew it before this time." Therefore, the prophet does not know secret knowledge, but he reveals knowledge revealed to him through secret knowledge. "He is the Knower of the Unseen, and does not divulge His Unseen to anyone" (Surat al-Jinn, 26) One cannot attain secret knowledge when one desires it. Not when one wants to have it. "except a Messenger with whom He is well pleased, and then He posts sentinels before him and behind him." (Surat al-Jinn, 27) Allah says He will also give them secret knowledge. I bestow knowledge, and they tell you. Not in the sense of what they regard as secret knowledge. Knowledge about secret knowledge is transmitted to you. "Allah has not given you access to the Unseen." You cannot know about secret knowledge, Allah says. "But Allah chooses those of His Messengers whom He wills." (Surat al-'Imran, 179)He reveals secret knowledge to them.2012-04-26 15:23:58

USC marks 400th anniversary of King James Bible
The University of South Carolina is marking the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, the most widely reprinted English-language Bible in history, with an exhibit that showcases some of its most treasured and historic materials.
"Four Hundred Years of the King James Bible" is on display in the Hollings Special Collections Library through late August.
The exhibit tells the story of the Bible's translation into the English language beginning with protestant reformers John Wycliffe and William Tyndale and continuing through the 16th-century, when other English translations emerged from the Puritan faith and the Catholic Church.
It also charts the impact of the King James Bible in America and explores its influence on literature, politics and culture.
The King James Bible "has had greater influence on literature and public discourse in the English-speaking world than any other translation," said Dr. Carl Evans, a USC religious studies professor.
All the items on display in the new exhibit come from the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
Highlights of the exhibit include:
a folio printing of the King James Bible dated 1611;
leaves from the Coverdale Bible, 1535, the first complete Bible in English;
a Geneva Bible, the major Puritan translation, dated 1595, donated to the South Carolina College library by Governor John Drayton;
a 1608 Bible believed to have been brought to America by one of the Pilgrim Fathers;
a first edition of the Rheims New Testament, the major Catholic translation, from 1582;
the 1685 edition of John Eliot's Indian Bible; and
a copy of the first American printing of the King James Bible (Philadelphia,1782).

Olbermann named Coulter "Worst Person," asking "why she has not been banned" from MSNBC; Boortz awarded third
Video ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
On MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann named Ann Coulter "Worst Person in the World" for suggesting in a column that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a closeted lesbian. During the segment, Olbermann also awarded Neal Boortz third place for falsely stating that most workers on minimum wage are teenagers and for calling adult minimum-wage workers "pathetic" and "worthless."
Loading the player reg...
On the August 4 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann handed right-wing pundit Ann Coulter his nightly "Worst Person in the World" award for suggesting in her August 2 nationally syndicated column that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) is a closeted lesbian. As Media Matters for America noted, Coulter wrote "I'd say that's about even money" on Sen. Clinton "[c]oming out of the closet" in 2008. Olbermann reminded viewers of Coulter's recent similar remarks, calling former Vice President Al Gore a "total fag" and arguing that her theory that former President Bill Clinton "show[s] some level of latent homosexuality" is "not even surprising," as Media Matters has noted.
Olbermann commented: "[W]hy she has not been banned from this network, I do not know." Media Matters has similarly asked, "What would Coulter have to say for the networks to stop promoting her?" and started a petition urging the media to stop providing Coulter and her ilk a platform to launch their venomous attacks.
Olbermann also honored nationally syndicated radio host Neal Boortz with third place in the "Worst Person in the World" segment for falsely stating, as Media Matters noted, that most workers on minimum wage are teenagers and for calling adult minimum-wage workers "pathetic" and "worthless."
From the August 4 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
OLBERMANN: And that's ahead, but first, time for Countdown's latest list of nominees for "Worst Person in the World."
The bronze to the poor man's Michael Savage. Neal Boortz, trotted out that stock defense that the economy is doing well because a majority of those making minimum wage are teenagers. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics -- George W. Bush, president -- says he's a little off on that. Seventy-five percent making minimum wage are adults. Boortz still has an answer for them. Quote, "How incompetent, how ignorant, how worthless is an adult that can't earn more than the minimum wage? You have to be really, really, really be a pretty pathetic human being to not be able to earn more than the human wage," unquote. So, Boortz, you're making minimum wage?
The silver, the BBC and the producers of its new comedy series Time Trumpet. It includes a sketch called "The Terrorism Awards," which features [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair being assassinated, a plane being crashed into the houses of Parliament and a Hamas bombing in Tel Aviv. Politicians from both parties there are asking for a cancellation or at least a dialing down of the terrorism "ha has."
But tonight's winner, Coultergeist! Having already used a homosexual slur to describe Al Gore and to suggest Bill Clinton is gay, why she has not been banned from this network, I do not know. Her new column is question-and-answer format. "Question: Does Hillary Clinton have a good chance in 2008?" Coulter's answer: "Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? I'd say that's about even money." So it's slightly lower, then, than the odds that you've never seen another adult naked and you're a 45-year-old virgin with an Adam's apple? Coultergeist, today's "Worst Person in the World."

Through the Grapevine: The incredible woman behind Bodegas Montecillo
Published 12:00 am, Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Many women have had to face insurmountable challenges to achieve their dreams. Spanish winemaker María Martínez-Sierra is one.
Martínez-Sierra has been making wines at Bodegas Montecillo, the third-oldest winery in Rioja, Spain, for more than 30 years. She became a winemaker in a male-dominated industry in Spain when it was fairly unheard of, and her mother did not approve.
"My parents came from families of some privilege and status in Spain. My mother never understood why any woman would want to work in an industry 'full of drunkenness.' She did not understand that winemaking is an art," Montecillo says in press materials.
Food & Drink Channel
But support from her father and her husband helped her become one of the most reputable Spanish woman winemakers.
Martínez-Sierra has traveled to the United States every year since 1998 to keep up with the industry, and that included a recent stop in San Antonio.
It doesn't take long in her presence to understand that Martínez-Sierra is a strong, talented woman. She endured estrangement from her mother for 12 years. She has survived the death of her third child and, more recently, her husband. She's also a two-time breast cancer survivor.
Martínez-Sierra is a remarkable woman who works for a pretty remarkable winery; Bodegas Montecillo was founded in 1874 and is one of the few wineries that still makes its own barrels at a private cooperage on the estate. She has vision for her wines and shows restraint by creating well-balanced, approachable wines.
Bodegas Montecillo produces Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva in the Rioja Alta district of the Rioja D.O.Ca.(Denominación de Origen Calificada, or Qualified Denomination of Origin). The winery uses 100 percent tempranillo grapes for its Rioja reds. In 2008, it started producing a white wine — the 2009 Albariño (100 percent) called Montecillo "Verdemar" — in the Rías Baixas D.O., located in Galicia in the northwest of Spain.
"When the (wine producer Osborne) family asked me what kind of what white wine would you like to make, I said, 'I want to make an albariño, a nice albariño.' In my opinion, this white wine is very interesting because it's complex, it's nice, it's citric, but it's exotic," Martínez-Sierra said during her visit.
The wine is only 12 percent alcohol, which she says is important.
"Nowadays, that trend is so powerful in wines that I imagine a lot of young people experimenting with wine, they are going to get drunk with the first glass or a couple of glasses. And then the fun is over," she says.
"I try to make wines very rich, concentrated, fruity-oriented. Having a very good touch of oak, no more than that in the reds. In the whites, I like them clean, fresh, fruity and moderate in alcohol."
Montecillo wines are available at H-E-B stores and retail for $25 for the Gran Reserva, $12 for Crianza, $18 for Reserva and $14 for Verdemar Albariño. A couple of the wines are served at area restaurants — Montecillo Gran Reserva at Ruth's Chris and Montecillo Crianza at Maggiano's.

nothing the service is bad,and the attitude of the boss is extremely terrible. I don't ever want to live in this hostel again!!!
We had already check out after we had seen the rooms. It was very poor and it was totally not what we had expected. The description of the room according the webpage was not correct. This is a serious problem. The reality is that they are selling lair. Please do not advertise this kind of hostel anymore. The room was not clean (bathroom too), too small (3 meters by 2 meters) for a triple bedrooms, no warm water, no pillows (!), etc.
Thank you!! I enjoyed my staying in Muffin!! A quiet, clean and very comfortable hostel! Had a very nice backyard area to relax in; volleyball, football, swimming pool, etc.etc. Danke!!
A hostel in a great location, with free parking. Double bedrooms are OK. Just ask for the towels!
Not all the services that we supposed to have, were'nt available

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team put a bit of a Halloween scare into the visiting No. 1 Tampa Spartans, but the visitors recovered enough to sneak away from the Marion Bowman Activities Center with a 3-1 (25-17, 25-20, 14-25, 26-24) win in SSC action on Saturday afternoon.
With the Spartans trying to recover from a loss to Eckerd last night, the day looked to be dominated by Tampa (25-1, 12-1 SSC) after the first two sets. Saint Leo (12-12, 4-6 SSC) had a different idea in the third set when they dominated their opponents. Claiming the 25-14 win, the Lions hit a blistering .440 and held UT to just .100 on the attack.
In set four the Lions posted as much as an 8-3 advantage before the visitors responded to take a 23-20 lead. One last rally knotted the game at 24 and forced Tampa into a timeout, but the Spartans would claim the last two points to secure the match.
Danielle Bletso showed her senior stature with a game-high 13 kills and a .321 attack average. Jaclyn Mailoto earned 34 set-assists and 10 digs.
Eva Dupay, Jessica Yingling and Danielle Selkridge led the Spartan charge, totaling 28 kills. Selkridge posted five blocks at the net while Dupay amassed four.
The Lions will now turn their attention to a road contest with Eckerd College as the Lions will travel to St. Petersburg on Tuesday night. The match is set to get underway at 7 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on Lions Volleyball, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

What is a pregnancy test tweak? - Tweakers use various photo programs to analyze your HPT (home pregnancy test) to see if we can pull out a faint pink line for an early BFP!!
So if any of you have a test you would like to have tweaked, post it here and we would be happy to give you a tweak! Most of the time our tweaks are very accurate however remember that we tweak for fun and are not doctors :)
Typical Tweaking "Rules":
Please take your pictures within 10 minutes to prevent drying to help with accurate tweaking.
I do not tweak blue dye tests. They are notorious for false positives and are too unreliable. Please follow up any line on blue dye with pink and I will be happy to tweak it.
Photo Tips: Upload your photos to your Baby Center photos and then cut and paste them in this thread OR upload them to Photobucket (free) and copy the HTML code on this thread!!
Also tweakers please do not invert test as it gives false hope.

SanDisk has announced that the iNAND Ultra line of products will be the first of its embedded flash memory products to move to 19nm manufacturing technology.
Shrinking the size of electronic circuitry allows equipment makers to develop products with larger storage capacities, providing consumers the ability to enjoy more content on smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. A nanometer measures one-billionth of a meter, meaning that 19nm circuit lines are so small that about 3,000 of them could fit across the width of a human hair.
iNAND Ultra solutions are used by leading mobile device makers around the world. The e.MMC (standards-based embedded mobile interface) devices built on SanDisk's 19nm technology will use the company's two-bit per cell technology-SanDisk's 10th generation of multi-level cell products. Sleeker, slim form factor product designs are also enabled by SanDisk's innovative packaging technology that provides up to 64GB of storage capacity in a package just 11.5x13mm in size. Advanced packaging techniques allow SanDisk to offer certain capacities in packages as thin as 1mm.
iNAND Ultra products are optimized for current and future generations of mobile operating systems such as Google Android and Windows Mobile.
The new products feature up to 20 megabyte per second (MB/sec) sequential write and up to 80MB/sec sequential read performance for faster file transfers. In addition, SanDisk works closely with major OEMs and chipset vendors to ensure the tight integration required between the host device and embedded flash memory.
SanDisk's iNAND Ultra products will initially be available in 8GB to 64GB capacities with samples expected to be available to customers in the first quarter of 2012. Volume production is expected in the second quarter.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — A police dog and quick access to video footage led to the arrest of an armed robbery suspect Sunday in Marysville.
Police were called to the 8000 block of State Avenue after a report of a holdup at a convenience store shortly after midnight.
The clerk told police that a customer asked for a pack of cigarettes and pointed a small handgun at him when his back was turned.
He told police that the gun was pointed "right at his face with the suspect's trigger finger on the trigger," court papers said.
The clerk emptied the till and handed over the money to a man with a scruffy beard who wore light blue basketball shorts and a dark hooded sweatshirt.
A witness said he saw the suspect running eastbound on 80th Street.
An Everett police dog was used to track the suspect.
The trail led police through a mobile home park and over a fence.
The dog led officers to the 8300 block of 53rd Drive NE where a man and woman were hanging out in a garage.
When the officer asked if either of them had seen anyone running by, the woman said no and the man made no comment.
The dog went south a short distance and then returned to the garage.
The man agreed to talk to the officer in the front yard.
As they were chatting, another officer arrived with a photo taken from the convenience store surveillance camera. The photo matched the man who had been in the garage.
When police showed the photo to the woman from the garage, "her eyes got very large and she had a blank look on her face," court papers said.
The convenience store clerk was driven to the scene and identified the suspect as the man who robbed the store.
The suspect then led police into a room where they retrieved blue shorts believed to be worn in the robbery. He also led police to a parking lot where they found the weapon.
The suspect, 26, was arrested for investigation of robbery and possession of a stolen firearm. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail.

Tommy Trash kicks off Ministry of Sound's new compilation series
Listen to Tommy Trash on iHeartRadio
Fans always want to know what influences their favorite artists. To help answer that question, the Ministry of Sound is coming out with a new compilation series called "Inspired." To kick off the series, Tommy Trash is releasing the first compilation.
"Inspired" asks artsts to tell their story through music and what has inspired them along the way. For his "Inspired" compilation, Tommy explains, "Most of the tracks on the first disc were from around 2001-2007, which was a real time of discovery for me … There were some producers that I had to include on there too - Stuart Price, Deadmau5, Eric Prydz and Booka Shade to name a few."
Tommy is also including three exclusives, including a bootleg of Cascade vs. The End. The track lists are to be released soon, and the compilation will be released on March 16th.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Ashpy P. Lowrimore Auditorium at Francis Marion University was dedicated during a ceremony on Friday, July 18.
Over the summer, the auditorium in the Cauthen Educational Media Center was completely renovated and outfitted with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, due to a $500,000 gift in Lowrimore's honor from an anonymous donor.
Lowrimore, who died in 2001, was an outstanding Florence leader who distinguished himself through his banking career, civic involvement, and commitment to his community and FMU. A regional president of BB&T, he was chairman of FMU's Capital Campaign Steering Committee at the time of his death.
The 201-seat auditorium serves as a classroom during the day, and is also used for symposiums, forums, lectures, movies and other events. The auditorium contains new carpet, seats, paint and lights. The stage was redone into two stages: a presentation stage and a smaller teaching stage.
The auditorium has three wall-mounted cameras to record or broadcast live events. There is a large projection screen that can be lowered and raised at the push of a button. The new equipment also includes a TV, DVD player, stereo, speakers with surround sound, and wireless microphones.
All of the audio-visual equipment can be operated from a control room at the back of the auditorium. Another set of controls is located on a stage wall, and a third set is on a special teaching podium.
The podium has a built-in touch screen, on which professors can make notations using a stylus. Presenters can also hook up a laptop computer or use the podium's overhead projector to present information on the large projection screen.
Outside the auditorium is a new student lounge area with new flooring, furniture and vending machines.
A portion of the $500,000 gift also went toward construction of a fountain in the center mall area of campus. The 25-ft. diameter fountain has 40 jets spraying water eight feet high. Sidewalks around the fountain have been reworked and lighting and landscaping have been added.

I'm lookinf for some help with My Donation Page
I've added a paypal button in a form but as you can see there's loads of space betwwn the heading and the paragrapgh ( this is our donation centre ) and also the amount of donation and button should be side by side and I can't figure out how to fix these two issues.
many thanks in advance if you can help me with this
Do you have it fixed width for iPhone? Because I can't zoom so I can't see
not sure, can anyone take a look on normal screen?
I just took a gander at it. I can see why you want it fixed.
I don't think you've provided enough info to get the answer you desire. As I looked at the page source, I saw that there were multiple style sheets linked to this one page alone, also with some styles inside the head tag.
Can you either post some CSS code you believe is associated with this page or tell us which stylesheet is associated with this page content?
Also, I think your page's markup is very hard to follow.
yes I'm getting very confused with it as there is php and many other php pages involved. I havn't been able to get the donation centre working yet ( I've posted for help on it in the php section but I think I'm asking too much and no one has replied ) but as far as the style goes I've posted here.
Perhaps I can direct you to the tutorial I'm trying to follow as it gives all the the markup and css there. I have Placed all the css though in my style.css so It shouldn't really have any others linked to. I'm trying to get rid of the space between the heading that says: " This is our Donation Center…" and the paypal button and also the paypal button and the amount to donate should be side by side.The tutorual I'm following is http://tutorialzine.com/2010/05/donation-center-php-mysql-paypal-api/
The hidden inputs are surrounded by
 tags and peppered with
 tags.
That extends the vertical height.
Eliminate both to reduce the amount of vertical space being used.
hm, it's strange because looking into my code in the html input screen i cannot see any
 or
 tage. Here is my code:

Asalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatulaah!

This is our Donation Center...
  <form action="[insert_php] echo $payPalURL[/insert_php]" method="post" class="payPalForm">
 <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Donation" />  <input type="hidden" name="business" value="[insert_php] echo $myPayPalEmail[/insert_php]"/>  <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="[insert_php] echo $url.'http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/ipn.php'[/insert_php]" />  <input type="hidden" name="return" value="[insert_php] echo $url.'http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/thankyou.php'[insert_php]" />  <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" />  <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="cbt" value="Go Back To The Site" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />  <select name="amount"> <option value="50">$50</option> <option value="20">$20</option> <option value="10" selected="selected">$10</option> <option value="5">$5</option> <option value="2">$2</option> <option value="1">$1</option> </select> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donate_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest" />  <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" />
 </form>

Does your markup validate? (validator.w3.org)
It looks like there may be an unclosed div tag in there.
Also, you forgot to enclose your markup inside code tags in your last post, so it would appear like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link href="mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen, projection, tv">
<title>My Page</title>
Two things. First...
When posting code in a message, please surround that code with [noparse]
[/noparse] tags:
[noparse]
[/noparse] tags:
[noparse]
paste your code here
Without these tags, code posted in a message loses its formatting and some characters in the proportionally spaced font are hard to spot.
Using [noparse]
Without these tags, code posted in a message loses its formatting and some characters in the proportionally spaced font are hard to spot.
Using [noparse]
[/noparse] tags makes code much easier for us to read and potentially saves vertical space in the message.
If it is not convenient to type the [noparse]
[/noparse] tags, then try this instead:
At the bottom right of the message box is an orange button that says "Go Advanced".
Click that button.
The one row of command buttons in the "Quick Reply" box will be replaced with three rows of buttons.
The # symbol near the right end of the middle row inserts the [noparse]
[/noparse] tags for you.The php symbol at the very right end inserts [noparse]
[/noparse] tags.
In all cases, the generic [noparse]
[/noparse] tags are far more helpful than none at all.
To see what we see, please use an ordinary browser and internet connection to access your web page. Right-click in the browser window and select "View Source" (or whatever command your browser uses). You will see the stray tags that I mentioned.
Looking at your code as isolated files instead of looking at it as a combined file (like a user sees it) gives an incomplete picture of how your site is being presented to the world.
I suggest accessing the site via a "real world" URL instead of through the eyes of your development environment to get a picture of how it is working for users (and how we see it ).
Does that make sense?
PS: SOME of the
 tags have been removed, but even more
 tags remain in their place. There are a bunch of active
 tag pairs around commented lines throughout the page (note the commented line just above the form in this screen shot). These contribute to the height of the page.
Many thanks for your time and patience and I will make sure to add code via the code tags next time. The annoying thing is that as I am using wordpress the
 and  tags are autmatically being added for some reason and although I can see this code via the source code I have no idea how to access this shown code otherwise. Using the html editor does not show them up. It's very annoying!!!
Anyway I've been playing around with it for days and managed to figure out that it is best to use the .php file for the donation centre ( and not use the wordpress html editor ) and everything works out fine. I have come across this issue of added
 and
 tags before and even come across it where it was not correctly closing
 tags. I opened a post via the wordpress forum but there was no answer.
Again thanks for your help and I hope you like my finished Donation Centre
I'm now off to post my result in the php section and hope it benefits someone struggling with php like myself.
Looks like you have this wild page well under control now
Thanks very much for the feedback!

Hi ,
I'm testing to get monowall up and running on a plain PC, with some memory card. Ideally, I'd use a
CF to IDE converter, and plug it in on the primary IDE port.
Problem is, such converters are not easily found around here, and are relatively expensive. Easily
3x the price of some USB card reader. But putting the image on a flash card on a USB card reader,
doesn't boot, as the filesystem cannot be mounted, and the config file not be read. I suppose the
boot code does not expect the root partition to be found behind an USB device.
My question:
- Is this to be expected with the latest stable image (1.23)?
- Is there a workaround? Maybe in an upcoming release?

Carboplatin (Paraplatin®)
Pronounced: car-boe-PLATT-in
Classification: Platinum Chemotherapies
About Carboplatin (Paraplatin®)
Carboplatin is a heavy metal compound that inhibits synthesis of RNA, DNA, and protein in cells. All of these compounds are vital for cells to divide and grow. By preventing them from dividing, the medication can stop the cancer from growing.
How to Take Carboplatin
Carboplatin is given by intravenous (IV, into a vein) injection. The schedule and dosage is based on the person's size and the cancer type being treated. It can be given alone, or with other drugs.
Carboplatin can interact with certain medications including some antibiotics, diuretics and blood thinners. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take.
You or anyone you live with should avoid having live (oral polio, measles, rotovirus, yellow fever) or live-attenuated vaccines while receiving this medication.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of carboplatin. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
- Washing hands, both yours and your visitors, is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick (i.e.: those who have a cold, fever or cough or live with someone with these symptoms).
- When working in your yard, wear protective clothing including long pants and gloves.
- Do not handle pet waste.
- Keep all cuts or scratches clean.
- Shower or bath daily and perform frequent mouth care.
- Do not cut cuticles or ingrown nails. You may wear nail polish, but not fake nails.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before scheduling dental appointments or procedures.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before you, or someone you live with, has any vaccinations.
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
- Do not use a razor (an electric razor is fine).
- Avoid contact sports and activities that can result in injury or bleeding.
- Do not take aspirin (salicylic acid), non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Motrin®, Aleve®, Advil®, etc. as these can all increase the risk of bleeding. Unless your healthcare team tells you otherwise, you may take acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not floss or use toothpicks and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to brush your teeth.
Decrease in Appetite
Nutrition is an important part of your care. Cancer treatment can affect your appetite and, in some cases, the side effects of treatment can make eating difficult. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services at your treatment center to help with food choices.
- Try to eat five or six small meals or snacks throughout the day, instead of 3 larger meals.
- If you are not eating enough, nutritional supplements may help.
- You may experience a metallic taste or find that food has no taste at all. You may dislike foods or beverages that you liked before receiving cancer treatment. These symptoms can last for several months or longer after treatment ends.
- Avoid any food that you think smells or tastes bad. If red meat is a problem, eat chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products and fish without a strong smell. Sometimes cold food has less of an odor.
Allergic Reactions
In some cases, patients can have an allergic reaction to this medication. Signs of a reaction can include: rash, itching, hives, flushing, and/or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. If you notice any changes in how you feel during the infusion, let your nurse know immediately. The infusion will be slowed or stopped if this occurs. Depending on the severity of your reaction, you may still be able to receive the medication with a pre-medication to prevent a reaction, or if the medication is given at a slower rate.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Loss or Thinning of Scalp and Body Hair (Alopecia)
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
Peripheral Neuropathy (Numbness or Tingling in the Hands and/or Feet)
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the medication. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the medication is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to adjust the doses of your medication.
Mouth Sores
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
- Brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush or cotton swab twice a day.
- Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol. A baking soda and/or salt warm water mouth rinse (2 level teaspoons of baking soda or 1 level teaspoon salt in an eight ounce glass of warm water) is recommended 4 times daily.
- If your mouth becomes dry, eat moist foods, drink plenty of fluids (6-8 glasses), and suck on sugarless hard candy.
- Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco, drinking alcoholic beverages and citrus juices.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Liver Toxicity
This medication can cause liver toxicity, which your doctor may monitor for using blood tests called liver function tests. If you develop elevations in your liver function tests, your healthcare provider may need to lower your dose or stop the medication. Notify your healthcare provider if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, your urine appears dark or brown or pain in your abdomen, as these can be signs of liver toxicity.
Nail Changes
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. They may develop ridges or markings on them. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. If any nails fall off, clean the nail bed well with soap and water and cover with a bandaid.
Secondary Malignancies
There is a very low risk of developing another type of cancer due to treatment with this medication, which can occur many years after treatment.
Electrolyte Changes
Carboplatin can cause changes in the levels of certain electrolytes in your blood, including sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Your healthcare team will monitor your electrolyte levels throughout treatment.
Kidney Problems
Carboplatin can impact your kidney function. Your healthcare team will monitor your kidney function throughout treatment. Intravenous fluids are given with the chemotherapy to flush your kidneys and increase your urine output. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of uncaffienated fluids a day. Call your doctor or nurse if you do not urinate for more than 12 hours.
Other Side Effects
In rare cases, this medication can cause temporary changes to hearing and vision. Contact your care team if you notice ringing in your ears, decrease in hearing, or changes in your vision.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

The Bookmans location in Mesa has the larger CD stock of the two Bookmans stores in the Valley, but it's not just the size that makes the Mesa location stand out — it's the selection. Of the thousands of used CDs that find their way onto Bookmans' shelves every year, about 30 percent are things you won't be able to buy new at say, Best Buy or Target — such as soundtracks for '80s movies like Less Than Zero, early Modest Mouse CDs on indie labels, and obscure reggae box set collections. The other 70 percent of Bookmans' CDs are Top 40, rock, and indie albums selling for a fraction of the price they'd cost new. There's also plenty of local music in stock — CDs by Jimmy Eat World, Gin Blossoms, What Laura Says, Kongos, and many more Valley rockers line the shelves, at prices as low as $5 a CD. Best of all, you don't need to drop a wad of cash to walk out with a stack of music — Bookmans' trade rates are extremely fair.
Four Peaks Amethyst Mine holds the distinction of being both the last commercial amethyst mine in North America and one of the most inaccessible. Surrounded by the Tonto National Forest, this mine sits on the southernmost peak of Four Peaks in the rugged Mazatzal Mountains, at an elevation of 7,200 feet. There are only two ways to get there: by helicopter or a two-hour drive with an all-terrain vehicle to a place 5,000 feet up called "The Saddle," followed by a 41/2-mile, two-hour hike across all four peaks. Because of its high, remote location, the amethyst mine can be worked only by hand.
Miner Mike Blank makes the hike once a month, a trek that mine owner Kurt Cavano describes as "calf-burning" but which Blank says "isn't so bad. I'm pretty used to it." Until she got pregnant late last year, Blank's wife used to make the hike with him. They would dig rocks out of the mountainside with picks and chisels for two to three weeks, accumulating layers of dirt under their fingernails and in the cracks on their hands. (The Blanks' baby girl, whom they named Amethyst Jewel, was born this past spring.)
There's no running water at the mine. There's nothing outside except a small wooden, white tool shed and an outhouse. "But you don't want to use the outhouse," Blank says with a wry smile. "It's pretty scary in there."
Blank camps on the mountainside at night or sleeps inside the mine, where it's generally about 10 degrees cooler. The mine entrance looks like a cave in the side of the peak, and the main area is only about 18 foot by 6 foot. But after more than 12 years of digging the same vein, the mine itself extends more than 90 feet underground. There's an emergency exit tunnel about 15 feet long dug through the middle of the mine's west wall, its entrance marked by a couple two-by-fours nailed into a makeshift doorframe. "So we don't get stuck like those poor guys in Chile," Blank says. The only light comes from three dusty mining lamps hanging from cables in the upper corners of the cave, powered by the generator outside. On the sides of the mine, thick veins of tiny purple amethyst crystals sparkle in the light.
Four Peaks Amethyst Mine was discovered in 1925 by Jim McDaniels, who reportedly thought it was a letdown because he was looking for gold. Commercial amethyst mining didn't begin there until 1942. The current owners, East Coast businessman Cavano and his London-based partner, Jim MacLachtan, purchased the mine in 1997. A couple thousand pounds of ore are shipped out every year via a helicopter, which also shuttles supplies in every month. The stones mined here are diverse, ranging from pale pink, translucent crystals to deep purple gems with red hues, like the amethyst found in the Ural Mountains of Siberia (which does not mine its amethyst). Gems are tumbled and cleaned in Scottsdale, sent to Thailand for cutting, and shipped back to Arizona, where they're set in rings, necklaces, and bracelets at Sami Fine Jewelry in Fountain Hills. Some of the mine history and gems are on display nearby at the River of Time Museum at 12901 East La Montana.
Twice a year, Sami Fine Jewelry and Cavano give a handful of helicopter tours of the mine (480-837-8168, www.fourpeaksmining.com). The next tours are scheduled for October 15 and 16.
For Sami Fine vice president Stephenie Bjorkman, getting first pick of high-quality gems from Four Peaks Amethyst Mine is only part of the fun. "It is the only commercially run amethyst mine in the United States," she says. "And it is right here in our very own backyard."To see more photos of the amethyst mine, visit www.phoenixnewtimes.com/bestof2011.
The Western Ranchman is supplied with freshly hatched baby chicks on a weekly basis. Warning: Once you see how cute they are, you'll be jumping on the urban chicken bandwagon faster than you can say "farm-fresh eggs." Luckily, the North Phoenix feed-and-tack has everything you will need to begin your journey into the world of backyard chickens. The family-owned and -operated business has been doing this since 1966 — way before chickens became the must-have pet of aging hipsters.
Underground wine cellars are typically reserved for the ultra-wealthy with custom homes. Thankfully, Sun Devil Liquors makes their cellar and pub available to one and all to come and access one of the best wine selections (craft beers, too!) in the Valley. Sun Devil already has a crazy-great liquor store on ground level. Descend the stairs in the back of the store to the cellar and peruse dust-covered bottles old and new, sidle up to the bar and enjoy one of the featured wines or brews, or take a bottle back to the lounge. This subterranean hang reeks of old-school sophisticated alcohol enjoyment.
In 1900, cries of "There be gold in them hills!" could be heard ringing through the streets of downtown Phoenix. But these miners were not referring to the Superstitions and legends of lost Dutchmen. These were claims for mining rights on South Mountain. Today, most of the mines have been filled and covered, but several holes are still visible and accessible (though, for the record, we do not recommend you try to access them). The primary mine on the mountain was the Max Delta in the San Juan Valley, and it still can be seen from San Juan Road. Some clever online research can uncover hikes to a couple other mine entrances that have remained intact since Phoenix incorporated the park in 1924. Good luck!
Anybody who's ever tried to dig deep in Phoenix soil knows about caliche — hard deposits of calcium carbonate that take countless whacks with a shovel to break up and dig out. But for those who seriously want to break some ground (and turn that caliche to dust), nothing does the trick like a jackhammer. And there's no place like A to Z Equipment Rental and Sales to pick up a monstrous, vibrating machine that breaks through 60 pounds of damn near anything and sounds like a Gatlin gun. A to Z's electric "demolition hammers" range from 20-pound models to 60-pound beasts that require two-wheel haulers. Rental rates vary, so you'll have to contact A to Z for an exact price, but shattering layers of concrete and asphalt like a demolition warrior is just about priceless.

More than $287 million is sitting, just waiting for some property insurance policyholders in the state. All they have to do is claim their Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. tax credits, Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said Monday, but time is running out on some of that money.
The money comes from fees that property insurance policyholders across the state have paid from 2008 to 2012 to cover Citizens' debt. Citizens, the state's insurer of last resort, borrowed close to $1 billion to pay Hurricane Katrina claims. Citizens assessed fees on insurers, who passed them along to their policyholders. Under state law, however, policyholders can get a dollar-for-dollar credit on that assessment, but policyholders have a limited time to file for the rebate.
For those who failed to claim the 2008 rebate on their state tax returns, Dec. 31 is the deadline to get the money. Policyholders paid $100.2 million for the 2008 assessment, but have claimed only $48.1 million of the total, Donelon said. If policyholders don't claim their 2008 rebate by Dec. 31, $52.1 million will go back into the state's general fund.
"It's a simple process for policyholders to access this money," Donelon said.
Policyholders can claim the credit on their state income each year, he said.
They can also fill out a short form — Louisiana Department of Revenue forms R-540INS for individuals and R-620INS for businesses — and attach their insurance declaration page to it, then mail both to the state's Revenue Department. The declaration page from their insurer shows the assessment was included in the insurance premium. Policyholders can also claim their Citizens rebate online at http://www.revenue.louisiana.gov/fileonline.
To do so, a policyholder must register as a user, then follow the links to the Revenue Department's application. Policyholders have the option of getting the rebate by check, direct deposit or on a pre-loaded debit card.
The Citizens assessments are currently a little less than 4 percent of the policyholder's annual premium, or around $54 on average for homeowners.
People or businesses that have more than one piece of property should file only one claim form for each tax year, said Kent LaPlace, Revenue's director of customer service. Filing multiple forms will only slow down their rebates.
The state Legislature made the Citizens assessment refundable during a period of unprecedented surpluses, Donelon said. Those surpluses were generated by "the mother of all stimulus packages," the rebuilding efforts following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which included cash from property and flood insurance coverage and federal aid.
But policyholders have, for the most part, failed to claim the rebates, Donelon said. From 2008 to 2012, insurance companies collected $470.8 million from policyholders, he said. So far, policyholders have claimed only $183.6 million of that amount. Money that isn't claimed goes back into the state's general fund.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets within or on the surface of an ovary. Women have two ovaries — each about the size and shape of an almond — located on each side of the uterus. Eggs (ova) develop and mature in the ovaries and are released in monthly cycles during your childbearing years.
Many women have ovarian cysts at some time during their lives. Most ovarian cysts present little or no discomfort and are harmless. The majority of ovarian cysts disappear without treatment within a few months.
However, ovarian cysts — especially those that have ruptured — sometimes produce serious symptoms. The best ways to protect your health are to know the symptoms that may signal a more significant problem and to schedule regular pelvic examinations.
Most cysts don't cause any symptoms and go away on their own. A large ovarian cyst can cause abdominal discomfort. If a large cyst presses on your bladder, you may feel the need to urinate more frequently because bladder capacity is reduced.
The signs and symptoms of ovarian cysts, if present, may include:
Seek immediate medical attention if you have:
These signs and symptoms — or those of shock, such as cold, clammy skin; rapid breathing; and lightheadedness or weakness — indicate an emergency and mean that you need to see a doctor right away.
Most ovarian cysts develop as a result of the normal function of your menstrual cycle. These are known as functional cysts. Other types of cysts are much less common.
Your ovaries normally grow cyst-like structures called follicles each month. Follicles produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone and release an egg when you ovulate. Sometimes a normal monthly follicle keeps growing. When that happens, it is known as a functional cyst. There are two types of functional cysts:
Corpus luteum cyst. When a follicle releases its egg, the ruptured follicle begins producing large quantities of estrogen and progesterone for conception. This follicle is now called the corpus luteum. Sometimes, however, the escape opening of the egg seals off and fluid accumulates inside the follicle, causing the corpus luteum to expand into a cyst.
The fertility drug clomiphene (Clomid, Serophene), which is used to induce ovulation, increases the risk of a corpus luteum cyst developing after ovulation. These cysts don't prevent or threaten a resulting pregnancy.
Functional cysts are usually harmless, rarely cause pain, and often disappear on their own within two or three menstrual cycles.
Some types of cysts are not related to the normal function of your menstrual cycle. These cysts include:
Dermoid cysts and cystadenomas can become large, causing the ovary to move out of its usual position in the pelvis. This increases the chance of painful twisting of your ovary, called ovarian torsion.
Some women develop less common types of cysts that may not produce symptoms, but that a doctor may find during a pelvic exam. Cystic ovarian masses that develop after menopause may be cancerous (malignant). That's why it's important to have regular pelvic exams.
Infrequent complications associated with ovarian cysts include:
Your first appointment will likely be with either your primary care provider or a doctor who specializes in conditions that affect women (gynecologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and it can be difficult to remember everything you want to discuss, it's a good idea to prepare in advance of your appointment.
Some basic questions to ask include:
Make sure that you understand completely everything that your doctor tells you. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor to repeat information or to ask follow-up questions for clarification.
Some potential questions your doctor might ask include:
A cyst on your ovary may be found during a pelvic exam. If a cyst is suspected, doctors often advise further testing to determine its type and whether you need treatment.
Typically, doctors address several questions to determine a diagnosis and to aid in management decisions:
To identify the type of cyst, your doctor may perform the following tests or procedures:
Treatment depends on your age, the type and size of your cyst, and your symptoms. Your doctor may suggest:
Surgery. Your doctor may suggest removal of a cyst if it is large, doesn't look like a functional cyst, is growing, or persists through two or three menstrual cycles. Cysts that cause pain or other symptoms may be removed.
Some cysts can be removed without removing the ovary in a procedure known as an ovarian cystectomy. In some circumstances, your doctor may suggest removing the affected ovary and leaving the other intact in a procedure known as oophorectomy.
If a cystic mass is cancerous, however, your doctor will likely advise a total hysterectomy plus removing both ovaries and the fallopian tubes, as well as your uterus. Your doctor is also likely to recommend surgery when a cystic mass develops on the ovaries after menopause.
Although there's no definite way to prevent the growth of ovarian cysts, regular pelvic examinations are a way to help ensure that changes in your ovaries are diagnosed as early as possible. In addition, be alert to changes in your monthly cycle, including symptoms that may accompany menstruation that aren't typical for you or that persist over more than a few cycles. Talk with your doctor about any changes that concern you.

Surrogate Search
Hi, my husband and I want to take advantage of the the changes in Qlds recent law changes regarding surrogacy.
We joined a few sites, but it seems that so far, all we have met is scammers, which is heartbreaking.
We have advertised our willingess to donate sperm reciprically and indicated we have no issue helping in the future if the sperm recipient wants siblings. We have stated we would be happy to either be in contact or not, depending on the Mothers choice..
The only stipulation we have placed is that the surrogate must be Australian as we cannot afford to travel overseas. We have no issues with ethnicity.
We have done all the things we can think of to open the door for a child.. so far, all we have is hope.
Does anyone know of anything else we could try??
Thank you,
Kate & James

Hi Kate and James
Firstly welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties in locating a suitable (and legitimate!) surrogate.
Part of the problem I would imagine is that this legislative change is relatively new. Because of longstanding legal issues surrounding surrogacy in Australia, it is quite likely not the first option that would come to the mind of a woman considering assisting others to conceive - egg donation being a more common event in Australia.
I am loathe to suggest sites or platforms as I have no knowledge of their authenticity. I wish there was more I could say to you than, it may take time... but I feel this is perhaps the most honest answer I can give at this point. As awareness rises, you may find that so too do the numbers of women appearing on relevant sites who are willing to help.
One thought I have though within this forum is, can any of our American members help? Surrogacy has been legal in your nation far longer than ours. While obviously Kate and James aren't looking to actually negotiate in America, can any of you suggest how they might go about locating a willing birth mother?
Kate and James, I wish you the very best of luck. I am going to make contact with a few people I know who may have suggestions and will post back here anything of value I can turn up.
Until then, best of luck!

Hi Kate and James
I have just had a thought. Have you considered advertising in Brisbane's Child? Here in Sydney, Sydney's Child always has classified ads lodged by couples searching for egg donors. Advertising for a surrogate may be an option. If Brisbane's child haven't already thought of this, maybe it's time to suggest it! You may have already tried this, but if not here is a link to their website: Brisbane's Child Website
Would love to hear how you're going and hope you are making progress.

I'm doing a project for school about surrogate mothers, i have searched this question everywhere and can't seem to find an answer. So what would happen if a surrogate mother was carrying a baby, and the baby unexpectedly didn't make it?

Hello. Me being a new guy to the site also... and a HAPPY owner of the AWUS036H. And been using the KDE version... dont think theres any optimal version unless your looking for some special features? Its my first touch to the linux operating system so I cant speak with any experience. But I think its that way?
So you wish to crack wep keys? Theres good simple tutorial of it at aircrack-ng site. I managed to get the wep keys of 4 of my neighbours networks by the help of those tutorials in under an hour. It was rediculously easy even there was no wireless clients in those networks present and not very smart neighbours had wep keys like 54123 and 1234567890123.
Next course of action I think will be to try cracking some WPA protected networks.

text: After the struggle that Robert Downey Jr. faced getting his life in order after so many years addicted to drugs, I think everyone was hoping his two kids would not suffer the same fate. Yesterday afternoon, Robert's son Indio was arrested in Hollywood and charged with coke possession. Police officers witnessed the passenger of a vehicle smoking something in a pipe. When the police officers searched the occupants they found coke on Indio and arrested him. His father spent years watching his career nosedive as he battled drugs and he could have gone the same route as a lot of other actors who get caught up in drugs and are rarely heard from again except when they get arrested. Their careers are relegated to seeing them in something on cable from when they were half decent. Indio will be 21 in September.

Mr. Frazer gives to all four Tsimshian clans the names of animals.
See the authorities cited by Frazer in Totemism and Exogamy.
For rabbits he uses Frazer's axle grease, and kills borers with knife.
He wanted to keep three o'clock, the hour of Frazer's lecture, from coming.
In Mr. Frazer's theory these magic-men finally develop into both kings or chiefs and man-gods.
It was plain that he was known as a belligerent, a supporter of Professor Frazer.
Mr. Frazer clearly means that when man was no longer primitive, he conceived the gods to be mortal like himself.
It's an insult to Frazer to have a horse-faced guy listen to him.
"Old Greek 's going to take notes and make a report to the faculty about what Frazer says," reflected Carl.
Sir,—Give me leave to recommend the bearer, Mr. Frazer, to your notice and regard.
