SB 270 To Abolish the Death Penalty (Brown)
Testimony of Rev. Sala W.J. Nolan Gonzales
Minister for Criminal Justice and Human Rights, the United Church of Christ
February 14, 2012

Chairman Mark Wagoner and members of the Judiciary Committee, I thank you for the opportunity to speak before you.
I am here on behalf of the United Church of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination well over 5,000 churches in the United States. Our denomination has its national headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. After long and careful thought, the United Church of Christ has taken the position to oppose the death penalty. We first formalized this position in 1969, and we have reaffirmed it many times in the years since. We urge you to abolish execution in Ohio.
In 2005, our General Synod passed a resolution calling for the common good as a foundational ideal in the United States. We believe that a just and good society balances individualism with the needs of the community, and that over the past quarter century, our country has lost this ethical balance. We believe that our Christian faith speaks directly to public morality and the ways a nation should bring justice and compassion into its civic life. We believe that God's unconditional love connects us to our responsibility as citizens outside the church. We are called to do justice as a public expression of our love for God and for all those God has created. We believe that the God of love is also the God of justice.
The United States is a nation that proclaims ideals of liberty and justice for all. We recognize that our public institutions have not always manifested these ideals. But while we have often challenged historical injustice in our nation's institutions, our church has never compromised our commitment to the public good and the role of government in protecting the public welfare. We recognize that our nation's founding ideas require ongoing attention, so that all people can thrive.
With that said, our denomination stands firmly against the death penalty. We simply believe that murder is wrong. It violates the commandment not to kill. If the murder is committed by the state or by an individual, it does not change this truth.
In this belief, we join the governments of nearly all countries in the world, the National Council of Churches and virtually all established religious traditions, and all national and nternational organizations established to protect human rights.
We all believe that capital punishment is wrong.
We do not believe that people who murder should be set free. There are many ways to protect the public, and to impose harsh penalties that do not involve the commission of yet another murder. We uphold these alternatives, and support laws that protect our citizens and ensure the common good.
Through a democratic and formal process, our denomination has raised these specific issues regarding capital punishment:
First, people who are poor or people of color are overrepresented on death row. Those who study capital punishment tell us that people are more likely to receive death sentences if they are poor, and if they are Black, Hispanic, or Native American.
Furthermore, people of color who commit crimes against white people are far more likely to be executed than people of any color who commit crimes against Black people. The application of capital punishment is discriminatory. It discriminates based on skin color and economic condition.
Second, death penalty sentences are often wrongly applied. In 2000, Columbia University researchers found that 68% of more than 5,000 death penalty convictions imposed since 1976 were overturned for serious errors. These errors usually involved
incompetent counsel, police misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct, or judicial error. A significant number of people are sentenced to death based on failures or misconduct within the justice system.
Third, several hundreds of cases have been commuted based on DNA evidence indicating that the person convicted did not commit the crime. Among the people we execute, some are innocent. We know that this is true.
Fourth, the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime. This has been found in virtually every study examining deterrence and capital punishment, for decades.
Fifth, and very materially, death penalty cases are extraordinarily expensive in dollars and time and effort for everyone involved.
Sixth, there are clear alternatives, including life in prison without the possibility of parole.
So in very practical, common-sense terms, we think it is reasonable to oppose the death penalty. It is not fair, it is misapplied, it is fallible, it does not deter, excessive costs are borne by everyone, and there are reasonable alternatives.
But that is not why we oppose the death penalty. We believe it is wrong.
We believe that to support the common good, we must act from our highest ethical and moral capacity. Execution violates this standard.
As a minister, I am in prisons at least once each week. I talk with prisoners regularly about their circumstances, their guilt, their shame, their hopes. I have yet to meet one person who would wish to be incarcerated. All of them suffer. In my experience, they are clear that they have committed crimes and must pay for what they have done.
I am a spiritual director to many people on death row throughout the country. I have helped to prepare five for execution. I have been present at the times of their deaths. I know that they suffered. I also know that the families and loved ones of their victims suffered. Their own children suffered. The prison guards suffered. Those administering drugs suffered. The cost of execution weighs heavily, simply because it is the taking of a human life. It is a tremendous burden on all of us who are left behind.
I support the testimony of Terry Collins, who worked in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) for 33 years, and who provided thoughtful and insightful leadership in his capacity as Director. I have seen the results of his efforts, and have a profound respect for his work. I commend him for what he has done for everyone involved – prisoners, guards, administrators, victims of crime. I agree with him that the death penalty should be abolished in Ohio, for the most basic reasons of fairness, decency in administration, and humane care for those in our charge.
We know that this issue calls forward strong emotions, especially among those who have lost loved ones to crime. I want to acknowledge the deeply personal nature of capital punishment, and the need for people on all sides of this issue to be heard.
I affirm my personal commitment and the commitment of my denomination to address the needs of victims of crime, and the suffering of people left behind. We hear them and we embrace them. We do not believe that execution brings closure or satisfaction any more than it can bring back those who were murdered. Knowing this, we remain deeply convinced of our responsibility to bring healing to this pain.
Thank you for bringing this subject forward, and for listening. It is an important thing to do, and we respect your effort.

The New Zealand dollar dropped almost half a US cent and the NZX suspended trading after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake rocked Wellington, almost a month after the capital city was locked down by a 6.9 magnitude quake.
The kiwi fell to 80.57 US cents at 2.45pm in Wellington from 80.98 cents and the trade-weighted index was 75.70 from 76.04. The two-year swap rate fell 6 basis points to 3.445.
The Wellington-based stock exchange operator halted trading in all markets as a result of the quake but reopened at 3:45pm.
The 6.2 magnitude quake was 10 kilometres south-east of Seddon and 8km deep, and was followed by a 5.7 magnitude temblor 5km south-east of Seddon and 8km deep, according to GNS Science's Geonet website.
"There's always the unknown factor when you hear earthquake news," said Alex Hill, head of dealing at HiFX in Auckland. "Markets will fear the worst initially until you start to get some visuals coming through."
The kiwi may recover toward the end of the day assuming no reports of major damage or further shakes.
Portions of Wellington was shut down for a day in July when a 6.9 magnitude quake hit the Cook Strait, damaging 35 buildings and claiming part of the CentrePort wharf.

Surprised? Not really. But certainly grateful.
That was Geneva defensive lineman Frank Boenzi's reaction to last week's scholarship offer from Northern Illinois football coaches. Boenzi accepted on Friday, notifying NIU assistant coach P.J. Fleck, a Kaneland product, and later received a congratulatory call from coach Jerry Kill. Both Kill and Fleck met with Boenzi and his family at Boenzi's home the night before.
Boenzi's gratitude stems largely from his academic circumstances. A 6-foot-3, 295-pound tackle, Boenzi has physically looked the part of a Division I football player since joining Geneva's varsity as an underclassman, but eligibility hurdles complicated his recruitment.
"I have put in a lot more effort and I have matured since freshman year," Boenzi said. "I would say I'm more thankful the NIU coaches believe in me and are giving me a chance. That's really all I need is some coach to say, 'Hey, I believe in this kid,' and they're willing to do that."
Boenzi holds out hope he can pass the NCAA Clearinghouse and be eligible next year as a freshman but acknowledges it is likely that he might have to pay his way his first year at NIU to bolster his academic standing. If that is the case, he will be able to lift weights and have limited contact with the team, but not practice or play his first year on campus.
Considering many true freshmen sit out their first year of college football anyway, and that it would allow Boenzi a smoother transition to his college schoolwork, that scenario might be a relatively minor setback.
Geneva football coach Rob Wicinski said Boenzi's growth – as a player and a student – was "exponential" as a senior. Boenzi is known to play with plenty of emotion, and Wicinski said that can work in Boenzi's favor as his career moves forward.
"He's extremely competitive," said Wicinski, a former NIU football player himself. "I think that's what really makes him a pretty decent football player. He just seems to keep rising to whatever challenge shows up. The better the offensive line [going against him], the better he plays."
Boenzi was co-defensive MVP of the Western Sun Conference as a senior after piling up 73 tackles, five sacks and two fumble recoveries.
He will become the second Geneva product on NIU's defense. Pat Schiller is a redshirt sophomore linebacker for the Huskies, who are preparing for the International Bowl after a 7-5 regular season.
"He's been a big advocate in this whole process, kind of talking to coaches for me," Boenzi said of Schiller. "I'd tell him to put in a good word for me and he'd say he'd go to coaches and say, 'He's a good player, a good kid,' and put in that good word for me."
Kill is an intense coach known for the occasional verbal tirade if players are not meeting his expectations. Boenzi said people he consulted about his recruitment thought that style of discipline could do him good.
"They said I need someone like that, someone who's going to keep me motivated and kick me in the butt if I'm not doing the right thing," Boenzi said. "It's definitely going to be a challenge, but anywhere you go, it's going to be a challenge."
Boenzi attended a pair of NIU home games this season. If the NIU option did not pan out, junior college was a possibility; Boenzi said he is not concerned about what other Division I suitors might have become more serious if his academic picture continues to brighten.
"That's all it was, a maybe, just maybes," Boenzi said. "No one really showed what NIU showed. No one was calling me every week, no one was seeing how things were going, no one was offering to help. Why would I want to go play for someone who doesn't care to call and see how things were going?"
National signing day for college football is Feb. 3, 2010.

Relive some of the greatest moments of 2010…
What's weird about this picture?
Now that you're stuck in that strange limbo between the long-winded end of work and the extended head rush of Christmas and New Year, you've got time, you need to kill it.
So what better excuse needed to go through some of the greatest moments of the last year? Devour time by revisiting some of these:
Footballer's who wouldn't visit prostitutes.
The greatest World Cup 2010 pictures.
In loving memory of Ashley and Cheryl.
Footballers who should really be in bands, PART ONE, and PART TWO.
Again, you are very welcome.

(Naim first ever DAC)
Naim DAC is coming out this Sept. Prototype is currently demoing around shops in the UK. It has some interesting features like asychronic for all digital inputs whether it is USB, optical, BNC, coaxial. It uses memory buffering and also has 10 clock boards inside to remove jitter (one for each sampling frequency). In addition, it even can do what Wadia iTransport can do with ipod*, i.e. go direct into ipod's harddisk bypassing ipod's internal DAC! Thus making this a very handy device. For output it has RCA and DIN (Naim doesn't like XLR). You could upgrade performance further by adding a power supply as is the norm in Naim products. Price wise is just under £2000.
*Sound from using ipod will not be as good as from CD transport though according to Naim. The prototype DAC failed to work with ipod that day so we did not get to hear it unfortunately.
In term of sound, from my brief listening to the demo session (condition not perfect, limited by amps/speaker setup), it is better than CDX2 which lacks depth in soundstage. Also it is more detail, better quality of sound and has better beat than HDX (their new harddisk player). However HDX seems a bit more coherent though (not certain though due to non idea setup).
It would be very interesting if one could properly compare the Naim DAC to Stello DA220mkII (or similar product) and Linn Majik DS using quality headphone amp setup. This way one will be able to tell which is best and by how much.

Flaw detector's software simplifies defect sizing
GE Inspection Technologies' ultrasonic USM 35 flaw detector uses operating software designed to streamline defect sizing in line with API 5UI recommendations for oilfield tubulars.
Using the detector, the operator locates the crack, adjusts the gain to 80 percent amplitude, presses the USM freeze key, and then starts to move the prove to produce an envelope curve. The application software then measures and remembers each amplitude peak and carries out the necessary time of flight calculations for each measurement to provide code-compliant flaw sizing.
Suitable for inspections tasks from flaw detection to corrosion measurement, the detector has two spin and set rotary knobs for setting gain and function values. Direct-access front panel keys are used to select the required dB step width, freeze the displayed A-scan, switch the A-scan to full screen size, and transfer live screen images to an external screen or video projector via a standard VGA output. Instructions are provided in several languages, including most common European languages.
The detector features two independent, color-coded gates with a threshold of 10 percent to 80 percent of screen height that allows two events to be identified and monitored simultaneously. Amplitude for each gate, sound path, or sound path difference can be displayed prominently in the A-scan corner. A high-contrast color display facility also enhances clarity when using angle beam probes in weld inspection. A patented, color-coded leg display allows the signal color to change with sound beam reflection from the workpiece surface. The color display also facilitates highlighting registration curves in DAC and DGS evaluation, filing reference scans, or displaying echo dynamics, because the color can be changed to suit personal preference or ambient light conditions.
High-power lithium ion batteries support the compact detector's portability. They allow at least 10 hours' continuous use and can be recharged while still in the detector. A carrying handle enables positioning the instrument on almost any surface.

On a conference call in October, Steve Wynn, chief executive officer of Wynn Resorts, noted that government decisions do affect how companies pay out dividends, but that an increase in the dividend tax could actually decrease government revenue. He explains, "The dividend policy of companies is very often affected by the tax policies of the government. When the taxes on the dividends are too high, then companies don't distribute, the shareholders don't get the dividends and Uncle Sam doesn't get the tax."
On Monday, Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) declared its first special dividend since 1977, while Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) decided to pay its fourth quarter dividend on December 27, instead of January 2. "Wal-Mart's board recognized that there are complex fiscal and federal tax rate issues that may not be resolved in the next few weeks," Randy Hargrove, a spokesman for the company, explained in an e-mailed statement, according to Bloomberg.
Investors still looking for an income stream of dividends, may want to consider technology names. The tech sector now accounts for more dividends than any other S&P 500 group. Technology stocks paid 5.6 percent of the total dividends in the United States five years ago, but now account for 13.2 percent of all U.S. dividends. Major tech giants such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) have all increased their dividends this year.

Greek plazein "to drive away," plessein "to beat, strike;" Old English flocan "to strike, beat;" Gothic flokan "to bewail;" German fluchen, Old Frisian floka "to curse").
The Latin word also is the source of Old Irish plag (genitive plaige) "plague, pestilence," German Plage, Dutch plaage. Meaning "epidemic that causes many deaths" is from 1540s; specifically in reference to bubonic plague from c.1600. Modern spelling follows French, which had plague from 15c.

plague (plāg)
A highly infectious, usually fatal, epidemic disease, especially bubonic plague.
A highly contagious disease, such as bubonic plague, that spreads quickly throughout a population and causes widespread sickness and death.
Note: The term is also used to refer to widespread outbreaks of many kinds, such as a "plague of locusts."
a "stroke" of affliction, or disease. Sent as a divine chastisement (Num. 11:33; 14:37; 16:46-49; 2 Sam. 24:21). Painful afflictions or diseases, (Lev. 13:3, 5, 30; 1 Kings 8:37), or severe calamity (Mark 5:29; Luke 7:21), or the judgment of God, so called (Ex. 9:14). Plagues of Egypt were ten in number. (1.) The river Nile was turned into blood, and the fish died, and the river stank, so that the Egyptians loathed to drink of the river (Ex. 7:14-25). (2.) The plague of frogs (Ex. 8:1-15). (3.) The plague of lice (Heb. kinnim, properly gnats or mosquitoes; comp. Ps. 78:45; 105:31), "out of the dust of the land" (Ex. 8:16-19). (4.) The plague of flies (Heb. arob, rendered by the LXX. dog-fly), Ex. 8:21-24. (5.) The murrain (Ex.9:1-7), or epidemic pestilence which carried off vast numbers of cattle in the field. Warning was given of its coming. (6.) The sixth plague, of "boils and blains," like the third, was sent without warning (Ex.9:8-12). It is called (Deut. 28:27) "the botch of Egypt," A.V.; but in R.V., "the boil of Egypt." "The magicians could not stand before Moses" because of it. (7.) The plague of hail, with fire and thunder (Ex. 9:13-33). Warning was given of its coming. (Comp. Ps. 18:13; 105:32, 33). (8.) The plague of locusts, which covered the whole face of the earth, so that the land was darkened with them (Ex. 10:12-15). The Hebrew name of this insect, _arbeh_, points to the "multitudinous" character of this visitation. Warning was given before this plague came. (9.) After a short interval the plague of darkness succeeded that of the locusts; and it came without any special warning (Ex. 10:21-29). The darkness covered "all the land of Egypt" to such an extent that "they saw not one another." It did not, however, extend to the land of Goshen. (10.) The last and most fearful of these plagues was the death of the first-born of man and of beast (Ex. 11:4, 5; 12:29,30). The exact time of the visitation was announced, "about midnight", which would add to the horror of the infliction. Its extent also is specified, from the first-born of the king to the first-born of the humblest slave, and all the first-born of beasts. But from this plague the Hebrews were completely exempted. The Lord "put a difference" between them and the Egyptians. (See PASSOVER.)

Two observations provide motivation for this seminar. First, voluntary and information-based approaches to environmental management are becoming increasingly common. Environmental managers should thus be familiar with the approaches, along with their advantages and limitations. Second, students, advocates, and managers are often searching for ways outside of formal regulatory contexts to promote more pro-environmental behavior. There exists a sizable academic literature on the subject, but rarely is it covered in courses on environmental management. Readings span economics, psychology, and political science. Class occasionally has a lecture format, but for the most part, we have structured discussion, rotating responsibility for presentation and critique.

Yes and no... i've seen a lot of heat treatments done from many people... both in large quantity and in smaller. This is not always the case. I think you would be surprised to see the attention to detail and lack of time-lag that can occur in places doing more than just a knife or two at a time. I know i was surprised when i first saw some of the more talented people do larger quantity heat treatments with the same kind of attention to detail that people doing one or two at a time can do.
Also, the 60-61 range you see from Japan often is not necessarily a function of this... i would wager (based on what i have seen and the people i have talked to here), that this rockwell hardness is more about what they think will be best for the knife than a function of their ability to do more complex heat treatments (which many of them actually do, even though we dont see or talk about it here).
At the same time, there are also large factories that do things more in the way you might be thinking, but even then, they can still use very complex processes. I know the first time i went to seki (where factory production is more common), i was shocked to see that they can incorporate cryo treatments in a very quick time with no trouble. Some companies even use machines that do the entire process of annealing, heat treating, cryo, and quenching.

2014 Physician Assistant Take Lessons Essay
"If you could earn a living doing what you love most, what would it be and how would it change the world?"
The most thing I love to do, and will be doing is becoming a Physician Assistant. This means, I am interested in helping human individuals better themselves in their lives.
As a Physician Assistant; you are working in any area as far as a clinic, emergency room, in-home care, etc. My area will be in the emergency room due to the fact, everyday there are different scenarios on what you will get medical wise. Individuals come to clinics, hospitals, emergency rooms to get the help they need medically, and I want to be the individual who can provide the care.
There is a way I can make a change where all individuals, and families can receive any medical care that is needed. This is going towards medical insurance and/or no medical insurance. There will be a way to still receive the care needed. This change will need consistent research (they always say; "When there is a will, There is always a way").

CdM performs holiday musical for veterans
Students from Corona del Mar Middle School took their show on the road Thursday, putting on a holiday variety show for veterans at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Long Beach.
"These kids have a real giving attitude with their talents," said Navy veteran Craig Weigle, 58.
The students entertained with skits, songs, dance and poetry readings. During the show, the veterans enjoyed a feast donated by local restaurants -- French's Bakery, Champagne's Deli and Shirley's Bagels. Afterward, they were presented with gifts donated and wrapped by students and parents.
About 30 students from the middle school attended the annual performance, which has been organized by the PTA for about 30 years, said the school's principal, Guy Olguin. Members of the school's madrigal choir also performed.
"The students really step up amazingly," Olguin said. "They feed the veterans if they need, they talk to veterans who might not be able to talk back to them."
The school's Associated Student Body put on a short skit about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, complete with props and the deer's namesake song. A duo of girls danced along to "All I Want for Christmas Is You," followed by solo performances of "Santa Baby" and other holiday favorites.
For Vietnam veteran Harry Crandy, a short conversation with uniformed cheerleaders Lulu Eisenberg and Jade Cegielski was a much-needed lift during a difficult time of the year.
"My wife of 38 years passed away in June," Crandy told the girls, "so this Christmas is going to be a hard one."
Crandy shared stories from Vietnam with the girls, in vague detail, as they listened closely. They asked him if his time abroad was scary; he replied with a solemn nod. He asked them about their cheer team. After the girls left, Crandy said conversations like those are a reprieve for him.
"They lift me up," Crandy said. "Having youth around you just makes you feel good."

Kremlin Vodka firstly reminds us of a beautifully packaged gift, one to be taken out, admired and placed back into her box but, not before chilling and sliding her creamy and dreamy liquid down your throat and then the burst of delightful pepper for kick! One second to None! Just ask The Russian parliament to whom it is supplied. I shall give her a well-rounded 5 stars!

This is the smoothest vodka I've ever taste . Your truly, KIP-NICE. 2015.
4th December 2015
Make sure you mix it right, its smooth but still has a heavy vodka presence, meaning its not to be hidden like say ciroc or beluga, where you could mix a drink that you can hardly recognize as alcoholic.......goes well with everything too, like fruit juices or sodas, some other vodkas fail to do...

One day after Symantec uncovered an alleged privacy breach, Facebook released four new features to its security suite, unrelated to the discovery.
These four additions aim to boost protective measures against scams, spam, clickjacking and malicious cross-site scripting. The new features also include a new partnership with a website-vetting company and login approvals. Here's what you need to know about Facebook's latest fight against malware.
Facebook Partners With "Web of Trust"
Web of Trust (WOT) is a free safe-surfing tool that tells you which websites you can trust based on crowd-sourced ratings supplied by other WOT community members.
While Facebook already has a system that automatically scans links to determine whether the sites are spammy or contain malware, Facebook's partnership with WOT will provide your account with an extra line of defense.
If you happen to click on a link that may contain spam or malware, a pop-up will appear that explains that the link you're trying to visit could be dangerous. You then have the option to proceed or return to the previous page.
Since WOT is a crowd-sourced application, its effectiveness depends on the number of people rating the safety of various websites. Facebook anticipates that getting its members to submit questionable sites to the list will help to "massively increase" WOT's coverage and security reach.
Updated Clickjacking Precautions
Since spammers tend to take advantage of browser vulnerabilities, they often try to trick users into clicking on bad links--also known as clickjacking. Spammers do this by overlaying the link with something enticing, such as a phony offer.
One such clickjacking worm that spread through Facebook's "Like" feature last year and affected hundreds of thousands of users had a message that said, "LOL This girl gets OWNED after a POLICE OFFICER reads her STATUS MESSAGE."
Facebook has now built a clickjacking defense into its "Like" button to alert you if Facebook thinks you're being tricked. When Facebook detects something suspicious, you'll be asked to confirm your "Like" before Facebook posts the action to your profile and your friends' News Feeds.
If you have already clicked on a link to add something to the "Likes and Interests" section of your profile, you can always edit the field by clicking "Edit My Profile" and selecting "Likes and Interests" from the menu on the left.
Self "Cross-Site Scripting" (XSS) Protection
Another way spammers take advantage of browser weakness: by asking users to copy and paste malicious code into their address bar. This causes the browser to take actions on the malware's behalf, including posting status updates with phony links and sending spam messages to friends.
You've probably seen Facebook friends post apologies more than once to their profile for unknowingly posting spam on friends' walls and warning others not to click it.
Now, when Facebook's systems detect that you have posted malicious code into your address bar, Facebook will display a popup confirming that you meant to do this, and will provide information on why it's a bad idea.
Advanced Login Approvals
Facebook's new "Login Approvals" function is now available to everyone. The feature is optional--but recommended for all Facebook users--and uses two-factor authentication. That means, if you choose to use it, whenever you log in to Facebook from a new device, you'll be required to also enter a code they send to your mobile phone via text message.
If Facebook sees a login attempt from a device that you haven't saved, you'll be notified the next time you log in. If you don't recognize the login, you can then change your password.

Henry Clay CongressmanIn 1810 Clay was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and served (1811–14) as speaker. As spokesman of Western expansionist interests and leader of the "war hawks," Clay stirred up enthusiasm for war with Great Britain and helped bring on the War of 1812. He resigned (1814) from Congress to aid in the peace negotiations leading to the Treaty of Ghent. He again served (1815–21) in the House, again was speaker (1815–20), and began to formulate his "American system," a national program that ultimately included federal aid for internal improvements and tariff protection of American industries. In 1821, Clay, to pacify sectional interests, pushed the Missouri Compromise through the House. In the House for the last time (1823–25), he once more became (1823) speaker, and he did much to augment the powers of that office. In this session he secured the western extension of the National Road and, against much opposition, eloquently carried through the Tariff of 1824. Sections in this article:

Shattered Walla mourns Merv Neagle after truck crash
HE came from Dimboola, made his name at Essendon and didn't set foot in Walla until he was 30.
He married a Walla girl, played cricket and tennis for Walla, drove trucks and, after a nomadic coaching career, finally took the reins of the Walla Hoppers as senior coach this year.
The footy club and the town joined his family and the wider footy world in mourning
Neagle, who was killed in a truck accident near Griffith yesterday, aged 54.
Tributes poured in for the former Essendon player, who played more than 200 games in the then VFL for the Bombers, and the Sydney Swans.
Walla Football Club president Garry Mickan led the chorus, saying he had lost a friend first and coach second.
"Every Sunday we would talk," Mr Mickan said last night.
"He would come out to the farm and sometimes it was a pain in the backside, but it made us close.
"You can't always say that about a president and coach.
"I think Merv had friendships like that with a lot of the people from Walla.
"He was respected as Merv Neagle the person and not Merv Neagle the former Essendon champion.
"The town is hurting."
Neagle put his hand up to coach Walla late last year.
He then quickly set about lifting the Hume league's most successful club off the bottom of the ladder.
With the help of a handful of recruits from his days in the Northern Territory, including former Richmond player Relton Roberts, he took the Hoppers to the brink of finals action before tragically losing his life yesterday.
But Mr Mickan said Neagle was about more than the wins and losses columns.
"Merv was a larrikin, but a lovable larrikin," he said.
"He could come down hard as a coach and then have a joke.
"I think that's one of the reasons people liked him."
Neagle's youngest sons, Matthew and Jaxon, play in the Hoppers' fourths and, true to form, were on the training track last night with their mates around them.
While Mr Mickan said the passing had traumatised the 700-strong community, there was never any thought of Walla forfeiting its final-round match against Lockhart tomorrow.
"I spoke to Donna (wife) and she made it pretty clear that Merv would have wanted us to play," he said.
"That's the way he was.
"He loved his family, his footy and the town and has made a remarkable impact in the time he was with us."
Neagle, who coached Merbein, Sale, North Albury, Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes, Balranald, St Mary's and Mount Barker before joining Walla, was no slouch with the cricket bat, either.
He donned the whites for the first time in the Brocklesby and District association in the late 1980s when free of training commitments with the Sydney Swans.
Former Walla publican and cricketer Danny Milne, who had stayed in touch with Neagle since moving to the Riverina, said Neagle didn't have to be asked twice to play.
"After a couple of weeks, you would have thought Merv had lived in Walla all of his life," Mr Milne said.
"He was just one of the boys.
"He loved his cricket ... and didn't mind a few beers after a game.
"In a lot of ways he was what country sport is all about."
Neagle drove trucks for Hehir's Transport and the Rand-based business was devastated to lose the "good bloke and great employee".
Managing director Ross Hehir said Neagle's love of a chat made him a popular figure among farmers while he was carting grain around the district.
"He got caught at a farm one night and the bloke rang up and thanked us very much," Mr Hehir said.
"He just said what a great bloke Merv was, and he didn't even follow Australian rules, but that was the sort of bloke Merv was.
"That's the way Merv left people."
Police investigators believe Neagle lost control of the fully laden grain truck in a series of S-bends on the Kidman Way near the village of Tharbogang.
The truck rolled and came to rest in a nearby orchard.
Neagle died at the scene.
Neagle is survived by his wife, Donna, and six children, Stacey, Jay, Jydon, Nathan, Matthew and Jaxon.

Astros get it together, beat Braves
Associated Press
Last updated April 10, 2012
After the Houston Astros had four errors in an Opening Day loss, manager Brad Mills stressed the importance of cleaning up their play.
Since then the Astros haven't had had error and have been taking advantage of their opponents miscues.
Travis Buck drove in two runs, Justin Maxwell homered in his Houston debut and the Astros rebounded from an early deficit thanks to sloppy defensive play by the Atlanta Braves in an 8-3 win on Monday night.
''We talked about opening day and us giving the Rockies extra outs,'' Mills said. ''It's nice to see us (not make errors).''
The loss drops Atlanta to 0-4 for the first time since losing 10 straight to open the 1988 season. The Astros are 3-1 after finishing last season with baseball's worst record.
Houston trailed 3-0 in the third before a trio of errors by the Braves, with two from third baseman Juan Francisco, led to three unearned runs and tied the game.
''It's great to see our guys realize they can come back,'' Mills said. ''We were able to string some hits together and score some runs. What a confidence booster for this game to be able to get back into like that.''
Astros starter J.A. Happ drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the fourth inning that made it 4-3. Pinch-hitter J.D. Martinez and Jose Altuve drove in a run each in the sixth to stretch the lead to 6-3.
After starting 0-5 last season and losing eight in a row to start the 2010 season, the Astros are pretty excited about their start, which is their best since 2006.
''We'd like to keep going and build off of it and try to build some momentum if we can,'' Happ said.
Happ (1-0) allowed six hits and three runs with five strikeouts in six innings for the win.
Braves starter Brandon Beachy (0-1) allowed four hits and four runs (one earned) in five innings.
Maxwell, acquired from the Yankees on Sunday, hit a two-run homer as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. He didn't have much time to get acquainted with his new team after arriving Monday afternoon. He said the hardest part was learning everyone's name, but not all the Astros got his right.
''Somebody called me Jason, but I'll forgive them,'' he said with a laugh.
Francisco, who the Braves acquired from Cincinnati on April 1, had three of Atlanta's errors starting in place of Chipper Jones, who is on the disabled list.
''That's not me. I don't throw like that,'' Francisco said in Spanish. ''The first one I felt got away from me, and the second I threw it down for some reason.''
The Astros got four hits and drove in two runs in the sixth inning off Livan Hernandez, who signed with the Braves after he was released by the Astros in spring training.
Houston relievers Wesley Wright, Fernando Rodriguez and David Carpenter combined to allow one hit in three scoreless innings.
Rookie Marwin Gonzalez, who had three hits and scored three runs, doubled in the fourth before Happ helped his cause with his run-scoring single to right field that gave Houston a 4-3 lead.
Beachy walked Jordan Schafer with two outs in the third before Altuve reached on a fielding error by Francisco. A second error by Francisco on the same play, this time on the throw to third, allowed Schafer to advance to third.
"It was big,'' Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the errors. ''We were playing good baseball up to that point, and all of a sudden we mishandled some of the plays back there, and we weren't real pretty after that as a team.''
Buck followed with a two-RBI double to get Houston within 3-2. He reached third on the play after an error by Tyler Pastornicky.
Lee tied it 3-3 with single to center field which scored Buck. Beachy finally got out of the inning when Brian Bogusevic grounded out.
Martin Prado doubled in the third and scored on a single by Brian McCann to push Atlanta's lead to 3-0.
Happ got on track after McCann's RBI, retiring the next 11 in a row, striking out five. He didn't allow another base runner until Matt Diaz walked with two outs in the sixth, but Francisco lined out to end the inning.
Freddie Freeman singled with one out in the second before Matt Diaz grounded into a force out that left Freeman out at second. The Braves then hit three consecutive singles, with the last two by Pastornicky and Beachy driving in runs, to give Atlanta a 2-0 lead.
NOTES: The Astros optioned LHP Fernando Abad to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday to make room on the roster for Maxwell. ... Former Astros star Craig Biggio helped Houston honor Jones, who said he will retire at the end of this season, before the game. Biggio presented Jones with a cowboy hat as footage of his many memorable games against the Astros played on the video screen. Jones is on the disabled list after surgery March 26 to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, but expects to be activated on Tuesday.

Reverential Dole Coverage;
Sam Tells Dole to Go Left
Four items today: 2) In fact, far from biased to the left, Carlson thinks the media are "reverential" to Bob Dole.
After John Sununu raised the Freedom Forum poll showing 89 of Washington
reporters voted for Clinton and just 7 percent for George Bush, this
exchange ensued with Time magazine's Margaret Carlson. (From the July 3
Crossfire, as transcribed by MRC intern Jonathan Stuart): On CNBC's Cal Thomas show on Saturday (July 13), host Cal Thomas asked Margaret Carlson about Bob Dole's liberal bias exchange with Katie Couric. Carlson insisted "That was a pretty dark exchange with Katie Couric." So doesn't that view in itself show bias? No, Carlson told Thomas, maintaining that "the media is almost reverential towards Bob Dole. We actually are very kind to Bob Dole."
Here's how ABC reporter John Cochran concluded his Friday (July 12) World
News Tonight story on Dole's week:
From Sunday's (July 14) This Week with David Brinkley on ABC: An excellent example of how Dole can get some of that "reverential" treatment, but Donaldson advising Dole to move left should be reason enough for him to move right if he wants to win. -- Brent Baker |

I got started on the retainer for tee #13 yesterday. Set the first 3 timbers in place. Got some help from some young players who were just putting on hole #12. Asked them to carry the 6x6's up the hill for me, which they kindly agreed to. Later at home I pre-cut and drilled the remaining timbers so they are ready to haul up there and set in place with just a little digging. Anyone up to helping out later this week - Friday, Saturday or Sunday? A couple hours time and it should be pretty well done. will need some wheelbarrow or bucket work to fill under the concrete after the timbers are set.
Tee #13
Page Title Module
Here's a link with a nice picture of what hole 13 at Corbin Park now looks like thanks to Jack Wardian, myself, Brian Johnston, his friend Bobby, and a group of disc golfers who helped lug the 6x6s up the hill to the tee. We still need to do a bit of work up there some other time but the erosion under the teebox looks a lot better. We moved about 10 wheelbarrow loads of fill around it too. I hope everyone can appreciate the improvements there and will work their hardest to decrease the amount of erosion up there.

every agents today are rogue, I wanna get revenge, I was betrayed by teammate, I've abandoned by my agency... blahblahblah.
and they seems unable to deal with it without shooting everyone else in the head while making a total mess.
Conviction was good but it was a real step backwards for the series in my opinion, they tried to make the franchise more "casual gamer friendly" with Double Agent and didn't succeed then they THINK they got it right with Conviction but honestly the second they strafed away from the Chaos Theory type gameplay they really made the series something it wasn't meant to be. Just another generic TPS. Go back to the old days where making too much sound sent the whole room of enemies run at you, where you had to time a kill perfectly not to raise suspicion, where light was the enemy in a never ending battle. That's what the true fans want, not another run n' gun COD clone. I have the most respect for Ubisoft compared to other game publishers/developers that are just money hungry like Activision and EA who make things just for the masses and forget about the people who brought their product to the light in the first place. Please don't become that Ubisoft.
Oh and also bring back spies Vs. Mercs kthxbye.
Well if they add more options in the gameplay like leathal and non-leathal weapons and melee(CQC/knife) and dragging/carrying bodies it certainly would bring up for the old ways.
Maybe they can make it both for MP the Conviction way and Spy Vs. Mercs?I like both as each plays uniqely.
I really don't know if I really like that what she says. It sounds like they won't make a lot out of the Stealth Gameplay again. So the suggestions we made which are getting into very deep Stealth features, deeper then in SCCT seems not to be the focus of SCR which is a shame in my opinion. We can expect to have a maximum of depth like SCCT has. But I am not really sure if they will achieve even this...
Oh god, this. Its ridiculous how many agents go rogue in these types of stories since A. there are extensive screening procedures to ensure only the most mentally tough and resilient individuals make it to these jobs, and B. the agents would know what they're getting into when they signed up, so getting mad at the agency/government is just re+arded.
But I can definitely see them going with Codenameeric's plot. It is really one of those "root themes" that was established in SAR, but they never really got around to exploring. And on top of that, that "going rogue" plot would allow them to go full-on action movie yet again, which happens to be exactly what Raymond says they're doing in the article.
Skepticism meter: rising...
edit: dunno why that r word for mentally deficient is censored...
OhMG, people, calm down... None of the Splinter Cells wasn't meant to be 100% pure stealth except Chaos Theory (and it is the main reason, that SCCT is sometimes little boring... I am not crazy, I love it the most just like you, guys... just saying...). Look at first SC. There are very similar moments like in SCC, where you are supposed to rise from shadow and fight like a man... with GUN! And only some really hardcore players play those moments also 100% stealth. So this ISN'T the problem. Problem is a huge LACK of options in SCC... No KILL/KO option, no drag boddies, no saving, no minigames, like picking, hacking, no opportunity objectives, minor paths and shortcuts, etc., etc... It is ONLY about giving options... Many of us trying whole nights pass through SCC missions 100% stealth like in good old days, but it is very hard and little boring. So imagine SCC with those options abou which we are talking about months... and be patient, what they will show... It isn't necessary to remove super-panther elements, M&E, LKP, those color ****s filters, etc... But Just give to players an oppurtunity to SWITCH it off and use stealth. Some casual kiddies players can still play it absolutely like a shooter (they can also play like that old SC's) and who is crazy can try it little different, with glance...

Perhaps Jade was talking about a new coop system?
I mean the development time for SC6 is huge, Maybe they are working on a new smart AI system for a second character working with Sam ingame which gives the player an option to play coop or single. It can give the game a new direction.. As for me, they never explored that properly.. but think of it, no more lone-wolf missions :/
and then because Sam is aging, they will change him with this new agent in the next Splinter Cell games. (the idea of these just occured in my mind while reading the forum but I personally don't want this to happen anytime soon...Sam is the legend and always will be!)
Guys, let's think about this. She said "root themes". Theme (necessarily) =/= gameplay ya know?
Theme- the subject of a discourse, discussion, piece of writing, or artistic composition,
-a distinct, recurring, and unifying quality or idea
Quality or IDEA, I think it's more on that line, but I can't seem to think of an idea that bonds all of the games together.

dLife - Inhaled Insulin
Inhaled Insulin: The Facts
In early 2006, Exubera became the first inhaled insulin product cleared for U.S. sale – marking what was arguably the biggest advance in insulin therapy since the drug was first administered to a patient in 1922. A powdered insulin administered through the mouth via an inhaler, Exubera was approved for use in type 1 and type 2 adult patients (i.e., over 18) who take insulin for use at mealtime. But Exubera faced an uphill battle winning widespread physician and consumer adoption, and in October of 2007, manufacturer Pfizer announced that it would pull the product from its portfolio.
Other Products in the Inhaled Insulin Pipeline
There are several other inhaled insulin products and inhaler systems in various stages of product development and/or clinical trials:
Eli Lilly and Co. in partnership with Alkermes, Inc. is developing the the AIR® Inhaled Insulin System (AIR® Insulin System). It is currently in stage 3 of clinicial development and is being studied as treatment for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Kos Pharmaceuticals Inc. – Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) is continuing its inhaled insulin study.
MannKind Corp. – Technosphere Delivery System will be submitting final approval in 2008 for the new inhaled Supra-Rapid Acting insulin. It will be for mealtime insulin delivery for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is expected to be a first in a new class of medications.

Being a healthy eater requires you to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating actually is. Being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it about studying labels and counting calories.
Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate eating, consisting of healthy meals at least three times per day. Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group.
Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway. You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.
A healthy eater is a good problem solver. Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and their eating with sound judgement and making wise decisions. Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies.
When someone is unable to take control of their eating, they are also likely to get out of control with other aspects of life as well. They could end up spending too much, talking too much, even going to bed later and later.
You should always remember that restricting food in any way is always a bad thing. Healthy eating is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle. If you've thought about making your life better, healthy eating is just the place to start. You'll make life easier for yourself, those around you, and even your family.

Glenfiddich Debuts New Global Ad Campaign
October 9, 2013William Grant & Sons is backing its Glenfiddich single malt Scotch whisky with a new global ad campaign, launching in the U.S. today. Running under the tagline "Family run since 1887," the push emphasizes Glenfiddich's independent status with a reference to the year William Grant founded the distillery. It's part of a "broader integrated campaign that will continue to evolve throughout the next three years," the company said.
Glenfiddich's new ads, created by London's Leagas Delaney, will be accompanied in the U.S. market by a multi-year program in collaboration with The Cambridge Institute for Family Enterprise that celebrates enduring family-owned companies. Under the program, titled "Independent Pioneers," selected independent companies will have their names engraved on a barrel of new-make spirit that will be aged at the Glenfiddich distillery for 50 years, with plans to release the resulting whisky in 2064 to future generations of their owning families.

What others says about us
I am a seasoned triathlete, personal trainer, and lifting enthusiast who started training at CrossFit High Performance / Florida Weightlifting Academy in December 2014 with the intent of learning the Olympic lifts for speed and force production to transfer to my sport. I chose CFHP because of the coaches and the phenomenal weightlifting facility, which is second to none in the Central Florida area when it comes to Olympic lifting. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience thus far. Adrian and Tyrone are both highly experienced Olympic lifting coaches who are very dedicated to the success of all of their athletes. I walked into the gym for the first time with no prior Olympic lifting experience and am already feeling the benefits in my swimming and cycling. Thanks, guys! -Kim Giramma NASM CPT TRX L1 Trainer
I started going to CFHP a few years ago, back when it was based out of Timber Creek high school. I can't even describe how nervous I was the first time I went, but it quickly became my favorite hobby. The environment was so supportive and nonjudgmental to everyone who walked through the door no matter what their fitness level was. I was able to set goals for myself and achieve them all while my body became stronger than I ever thought it could be. The workouts made me push myself, and when I didn't think I could possibly go any further there was someone by my side telling me that I could, and in fact I did. It didn't matter what the exercise was, the coaches at CFHP have taught me that the only thing that limits me is my own mind. CFHP is not just a gym, it's a place of comradery and family. It is the healthiest addiction I have ever had and I am not afraid to admit it.
Before joining Crossfit High Performance I did a lot of research into crossfit facilities Orlando. I wanted a knowledgable coaching staff, a friendly and safe atmosphere and most of all Crossfit Kids. Having two active young girls I knew they would love to workout and they do. I feel like part of a family when my I walk in the door. The coaches know us by name and they take an interest in our advancement. Our fellow athletes are fantastic always friendly and ready to cheer you on. This is not LA Fitness where you are just another member. There is a strong positive energy in the facility. I regretted my move to Orlando UNTIL I joined Crossfit High Performance. It has become my home away from home and my therapy office on a hard day. Both of my girls weight lift competitively and my oldest daughter has even competed in a crossfit competition. You cannot teach the type of confidence that my children have formed. We are a healthy and strong family.

Actor-filmmaker Dev Anand passed away on Saturday night following a cardiac arrest in London, imprinting his footprints in the entertainment world forever…
Known for his evergreen aura, Dharam Dev Anand has perhaps being the most prolific and versatile member of the Bollywood fraternity. Treating age just like any other figure, Dev saab's contribution to the industry will be remembered forever. Movies like Guide and Gambler have been such huge blockbusters that the actor was given sobriquets like 'Raju guide' and 'the great gambler'. He was also honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2002. The actor apparently liked to be on his own. He believed that an artiste has to isolate himself so that he can focus on his work. Sticking to his ideology, the actor preferred leading a simple life and never ruled out the possibility of falling in love again. Trudging through quite an interesting and long journey, from his first movie Hum Ek Hain (1946) to the last one Chargesheet (2011), this legend and his enthusiasm to work and live life to the fullest, will be missed. B-town mourns the death of this talented actor and so do the great number of fans who have grown up watching this expressive performer's movies. Jewel Thief, Heera Panna, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Johnny Mera Naam and Asli-Naqli – have been some of the actor's best projects. He may be no more but his youthfulness is sure to inspire many actors in the future.

Assad also suggests that the conflict will continue to drag out.
So this thing will drag out, and it will, alas, take public opinion time to catch up with the reality.
Europe might burn down its pampered class of bureaucrats and drag out its coats of arms.
"People who have a lot of money can drag out legal proceedings for a very long time," Barrett said.
As I spoke I bent down into the hole to drag out what felt like a vase, but all beaten in and flattened.
He lived a couple of miles off, and he had chosen a four-wheeler to drag out the time.
The heavily guarded express continued to drag out yellow gold by the hundredweight.
And you believe that I am destined to drag out my life here?
At length, by great exertion, he raised the bough sufficiently off the crushed limb to enable him to drag out the sufferer.
They are fond of live "squabs," which they drag out of their nests at pleasure.
mid-15c., from Old Norse draga, or a dialectal variant of Old English dragan "to draw," both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *dragan "to draw, pull," from PIE root *dhragh- "to draw, drag on the ground" (cf. Sanskrit dhrajati "pulls, slides in," Russian drogi "wagon;" but not considered to be directly the source of Latin trahere).
Meaning "to take a puff" (of a cigarette, etc.) is from 1914. Related: Dragged; dragging. Drag-out "violent fight" is from c.1859. To drag (one's) feet (1946, in figurative sense) supposedly is from logging, from a lazy way to use a two-man saw.
c.1300, "dragnet," perhaps from a Scandinavian source (cf. Swedish dragg "grapnel") or from Old English dræge "dragnet," related to dragan "to draw" (see drag (v.)).
Sense of "annoying, boring person or thing" is 1813, perhaps from the notion of something that must be dragged as an impediment. Sense of "women's clothing worn by a man" is said to be 1870 theater slang, from the sensation of long skirts trailing on the floor (another guess is Yiddish trogn "to wear," from German tragen); drag queen is from 1941.
Drag racing (1947), is said to be from thieves' slang drag "automobile" (1935), perhaps ultimately from slang sense of "wagon, buggy" (1755), because a horse would drag it. By 1851 this was transferred to "street," as in the phrase main drag (which some propose as the source of the racing sense).
In addition to the time trials there are a number of "drag races" between two or more cars. They are run, not for record, but to satisfy the desire of most Americans to see who can get from here to there in the fastest time. ["Popular Mechanics," January 1947]
drag A force acting on a moving body, opposite in direction to the movement of the body, caused by the interaction of the body and the medium it moves through. The strength of drag usually depends on the velocity of the body. ◇ Drag caused by buildup of pressure in front of the moving body and a decrease in pressure behind the body is called pressure drag. It is an important factor in the design of aerodynamically efficient shapes for cars and airplanes. ◇ Drag caused by the viscosity of the medium as the molecules along the body's surface move through it is called skin drag or skin friction. It is an important factor in the design of efficient surface materials for cars, airplanes, boat hulls, skis, and swimsuits. Compare lift. See Note at aerodynamics. |
