I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good!
The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese and cucumbers, my "cracker" replacement.
I liked the combination so much I decided to turn it into a lunch salad. It was delicious!
Here's what I did…
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- pinch of kosher salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup dried cherries (40g)
- 1 Cucumber cut in chunks
- 1 Can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 Mini Babybel Sharp Original cut into small chunks
Add the vinegars, oil, parsley, salt, pepper and cherries in a large bowl. Whisk everything together.
Add the cucumber, chickpeas and cheese. Toss to coat everything.
Eat! :)

So how do the new ones sound?
Well for one they are a bit too loud,not to the point of distortion but just too much,as for overall sound,well out of the 2 i have here's my findings!
Some girls sounds a bit washed out to be honest,very treble orientated and too loud,however the drums and bass are very brought up in the mix,very punchy actually but the high frequencies are a tad too much.
Is isn't unlistenable though,far from it just very bright.
To give you an idea when i hear this on my Se310's (which have a rolled off treble) It sounds like i'm hearing it through er4's!
So that gives you an idea,but as i said it isn't bad at all.
Ok next up is black and blue.
Ok this does sound fantastic,gotta be honest it's very clear indeed and is better than the virgin release!
Hot stuff which kicks off the album (which once again is a touch too loud) does however sound fantastic.
Bass and drums have incredible definition and mick's vocals are real dirty sounding,guitars crunch and the top end is superb,cymbals and high hats just fizz away with reckless abandon.
And the whole album is like this and most definitely the best of the 2 i own.
Thing is though i'm so torn between getting anymore of these or hunting down the other virgin ones i dont have.
I find the 94 ones to be very nice and dynamic sounding and quite warm which i do enjoy but the new ones sure do sound exciting if a tad brickwalled.
I dont really want both,i just wish i could decide.
Anyway thats what i think about them anyway.
Anyone else have any thoughts on these,the 94 remasters or indeed the original cbs discs.

Costa Mesa company lands body armor deal
Ceradyne Inc. has secured a $40 million government contract for military body armor, amid the looming threat of defense spending cuts under the federal sequester.
The Costa Mesa-based company, which specializes in ceramic products for the defense and other industries, closed a deal this month with the U.S. government to supply 242,000 body armor plates to Afghanistan's military over the next six months.
"The contracts were won on a competitive basis reflecting the strength of Ceradyne as a major body armor supplier to the military," said Marc King, president of Ceradyne Armor Systems.
The 46-year-old company, which operates as a subsidiary of 3M Co. following an acquisition last year by the office products giant, manufactures ceramic components for the industrial, automotive and energy markets. About 40 percent of Ceradyne's $500 million in annual revenue, however, comes from the defense industry.
Military contractors are facing uncertainty after Congress this month allowed across-the-board spending cuts to take effect. The sequester is expected to slash $85 billion from the federal budget this year and even more in coming years.
Half of the cuts will come from defense spending, but industry analyst Daniel Goure said it remains unclear what specific programs will be affected. "We have not really seen (the cuts) take effect. Everybody is still trying to figure out how much really has to be cut."
Goure, vice president of the Lexington Institute, a public-policy think tank in Arlington, Va., said maintenance work and some nonessential programs likely will be the first to go, but by next year most military contractors will notice the cuts. Some existing contracts may change timelines, orders could be reduced or payments may be delayed.
"It will cause some headaches this year and in some cases it will cause some companies to even crash," Goure said. "Next year and in the years following, I suspect you're going to see lots of companies and programs disappear."
Ceradyne may dodge the bullet, though, because the Department of Defense is using "whatever flexibility they have" to ensure that funding for war activities is not cut, said Todd Harrison, a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a nonprofit research organization in Washington, D.C. This year, the government has committed about $88 billion to the war in Afghanistan.
"DOD is moving money around within the budget to protect money for the operations in Afghanistan," he said.
Although Ceradyne is a relatively small player in the industry, it also benefits from being one of the only major U.S. suppliers of body armor, Goure noted.
"They may escape unscathed," he said. "It's likely to be doing less business in the future than it was at the height of the wars. But it's still a premier company in the space it occupies."
A longtime supplier to the military, Ceradyne suffered a misstep in November when the company recalled thousands of body armor plates due to a manufacturing defect.
Around that time, 3M announced a deal to acquire the company for about $850 million. Ceradyne, which is now a part of the 3M Energy and Advanced Materials Division within its industrial and transportation business, had been a longtime partner with 3M, which uses ceramic material to make orthodontic brackets.
At the time, executives with the two companies said the merger would open up opportunities in international markets for Ceradyne. In a statement following the recent body armor deal, Mark Colin, Ceradyne's president and general manager, said that promise is being fulfilled.
"The contract is the first step in driving growth through international applications for 3M and Ceradyne," he said.

A Client-Server System (CSS) can be fragmentally defined as a Server-Based Game System (SBGS), a Server-Supported Game System (SSGS) or a hybrid of the two, all of which can be defined as the combination of a Central Server, Client Terminals and all Interface Elements that function collectively for the purpose of linking the client terminal with the Central Server to perform a myriad of functions related to gaming, which may include, but are not limited to:
(a) Downloading of Game Logic to the Client Terminals; (b) Central Server Random Number Generation; (c) Thin Client Gaming Configurations.
The communication network may be totally contained within a single venue (LAN) or over a wide area network (WAN) whereby a server in one location supports client terminals in multiple sites.
30.1 Server-Based Game System (SBGS) Defined SBGS is the combination of a server and client terminals in which the entire or integral portion of game content resides on the server. This system works collectively in a fashion in which the client terminal will not be capable of functioning when disconnected from the system.
30.2 Server-Supported Game System (SSGS) Defined SSGS is the combination of a server and client terminal(s) which together allow the transfer of the entire control program and game content to the client terminal(s) for the purpose of downloading control programs and other software resources to the client terminal on an intermittent basis. The client terminals connected to the system are capable of operating independently from the system once the downloading process has been completed. This configuration encompasses cases where the system may take control of peripheral devices or associated equipment typically considered part of a conventional client terminal such as a bill validator or a printer. In a System Supported Game, game outcome is determined by the client terminals connected to the system and not by the system itself. The client terminal is capable of functioning if disconnected from the system.
30.3 Communication Protocol. Each component of a CSS must function as indicated by the communication protocol implemented. All protocols must use communication techniques that have proper error detection and/or recovery mechanisms, which are designed to prevent tempering. Information related, game outcome, financial transactions, and game recall information must be encrypted by a means approved by the Commission.
30.4 Loss of Communication For a Server-Based Game System (SBGS), a client must be rendered unplayable if communication from the server or system portion of the client terminal is lost. If a game is in progress either the client terminal must have the capability to complete the game including accurate accounts of all records of the game or a mechanism must be provided to recover to the point of the game when communication was lost.
Alternatively, in a multi-player environment, a loss of communication can result in aborting the game and refunding player's wagers.
In the case of Client Terminals that have lost communication with the server, the CSS must provide a means, such as a hand pay, for patrons to cash out credits indicated on the Server-based client terminal at the time communication was lost.
30.5 System Security In the event the CSS Server is utilized in conjunction with other networks; all communication, including Remote Access, must pass through at least one approved application-level firewall and must not have a facility that allows for an alternate network path. If an alternate network path exists for redundancy purposes, it must also pass through at least one application-level firewall.
30.6 Firewall Audit Logs The firewall application must maintain an audit log of the following information and must disable all communication and generate an error event if the audit log becomes full:
(a) All changes to configuration of the firewall; (b) All successful and unsuccessful connection attempts through the firewall; and (c) The source and destination IP Addresses, Port Numbers and MAC Addresses.
30.7 Remote Access Remote Access is defined as any access to the system outside of the 'Trusted' Network. Remote Access, where permitted, shall authenticate all computer systems based on the authorized settings of the CSS or firewall application that establishes a connection with the CSS. The security of Remote Access will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, in conjunction with the current technology and approval from the Commission. The following are additional requirements:
(a) No unauthorized remote user administration functionality (adding users, changing permissions, etc.); (b) No unauthorized access to any database other than information retrieval using existing functions; and (c) No unauthorized access to the operating system.
30.8 Remote Access Auditing The CSS Server must maintain an activity log either automatically or have the ability to manually enter the logs depicting all Remote Access information that includes:
(a) The Log on Name; (b) Time and date the connection was made; (c) Duration of connection; and (d) Activity while logged in, including the specific areas accessed and changes that were made.
30.9 Wide Area Network Communication Wide Area Network (WAN) communication within the CSS is permitted provided that the following criteria is met:
(a) The communication over the WAN are secured from intrusion, interference and eavesdropping via techniques such as use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), encryption, authentication etc; and (b) Only functions documented in the communication protocol are used over the WAN. The protocol shall be provided to a third party testing laboratory and the commission for evaluation. The protocol documentation may be in multiple parts e.g. delivery mechanism and message formats, etc.
30.10 CSS Server Requirements This section covers the elements common to the "back of the house" operations of a CSS. The Game Server(s) may be located locally, within a single facility or may be remotely located outside of the facility such as over a Wide Area Network (WAN). In the case where a CSS Server also performs tasks as required by other systems, (i.e. On-Line Monitoring and Control System, Ticket Validation System, etc) those portions would have to be evaluated against the appropriate Arkansas regulation.
30.11 Multiple Servers A CSS may in fact be a collection of servers for load balancing, redundancy or functionality reasons. For example, there might be two or more game servers, a finance server, monitoring server, download server, etc. The system as a whole, which may be a collection of such servers, must meet the full requirements of this specification but not necessarily each server.
30.12 Operation and Server Security For a Server-Based Game System and hybrid systems as applicable, the Game Server shall generate and transmit to the Client Terminals; control, configuration and information data, depending upon the actual implementation. Examples include: credit movement, random numbers, game result components (e.g. balls, cards or reel stop positions), actual game results or updates to the credit meter for winning games.
For a System-Supported Game System and hybrid systems as applicable, the Game Server will not participate in the game determination process i.e. the primary functions will be that of downloading control programs and other software resources, or providing command and control instruction that may change the configuration of the software already loaded on the client terminal, on an intermittent basis.
30.13 Intrusion Protection All servers shall have sufficient physical/logical intrusion protection against unauthorized access.
30.14 Configuration Access Requirements The CSS interface element setup/configuration menu(s) must not be available unless using an authorized access method that is secure.
30.15 Server Programming There shall be no means available for an Operator to conduct programming on the server in any configuration (e.g. the Operator should not be able to perform SQL statements to modify the database). However, it is acceptable for a Network Administrator to perform authorized network infrastructure maintenance with the sufficient access rights that would include the use of SQL statements that were already resident on the system.
30.16 Virus Protection It is recommended all servers and client devices should have adequate virus protection.
30.17 Copy Protection Copy protection to prevent unauthorized proliferation or modification of software, for servers or clients, may be implemented provided that the method of copy protection is fully documented and provided to a third party independent test laboratory and the commission, who will verify that the protection works as described.
30.18 System Failure The CSS shall be designed to protect the integrity of pertinent data in the event of a failure. Audit logs, system databases, and any other pertinent data must be stored using reasonable protection methods. If hard disk drives are used as storage media, data integrity must be assured in the event of a disk failure. Acceptable methods include, but are not limited to, multiple hard drives in an acceptable RAID configuration, or mirroring data over two or more hard drives. The method used must also provide open support for backups and restoration. Backup scheme implementation must occur at least once every day, although all methods will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the commission.
30.19 Recovery Requirements In the event of a catastrophic failure where the CSS cannot be restarted in any other way, it shall be possible to reload the database from the last viable backup point. This must fully recover the contents of that backup and shall consist of at least the Significant events, Auditing information and Specific site information such as game configuration, security accounts, etc.
30.20 Self Monitoring The CSS must implement self-monitoring of all critical Interface Elements (e.g. Central hosts, network devices, firewalls, links to third parties, etc.) and shall have the ability to effectively notify the system administrator of the condition, provided the condition is not catastrophic.
The CSS shall be able to perform this operation with a frequency of at least once in every 24-hour period. The implementation of self-monitoring schemes will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the commission and the test laboratory. Additionally, all critical interface elements will be reviewed on a case per case basis and may require further action by the system depending upon the severity of the failure.
30.21 CSS Software Verification Each integral component of the CSS must have a method to be verified via a "third-party" verification procedure.
The Client Terminal and/or the applicable Server Side critical Game components shall provide the ability to conduct an independent integrity check of the control programs, from a third-party outside source. The verification program used for the integrity check may be embedded within the game software or have an interface port that is used to authenticate the media with the verification program.
The third-party verification process must not include any process or security software provided by the gaming manufacturer.
30.22 Verification of Devices That Cannot Be Interrogated Program devices that cannot be interrogated, such as Smart cards, may be used provided they are able to be verified by the following methodology:
(a) A challenge is sent by the peer device, such as a hashing seed, to which the device must respond with a checksum of its entire program space using the challenge value. (b) The challenge mechanism and means of loading the software into the device is verified by an independent testing laboratory and approved by the Commission.
30.23 Server Recall Requirements The Server that supports a Server-Based Game must be able to provide the following game history information. In the case of a hybrid system it is allowable for this information to be stored either on the server or at the client terminal as long as all information is accounted for.
(a) A complete play history for at least the last ten (1) games for each client station connected to the Server-Based game. The last play information shall provide all information required to fully reconstruct the last ten (10) plays. (b) All Values shall be displayed including the initial credits available, credits bet, credits won, and credits paid. If a progressive was awarded it is sufficient to indicate the progressive was awarded and not display the value. (c) Play history shall include the final game outcome including all player choices and any bonus features offered, the results of Double-Up (if applicable) and reflect position dependent events if the outcome results in an award. (d) Play history shall reflect bonus features in their entirety. If a bonus round lasts for x number of events each with separate outcomes, each of the x number of events shall be displayed with its corresponding outcome. For games that may have infinite free games there shall be a minimum of fifty (50) games recallable in the play history. (e) If the play history is stored on the Server the capability to initiate game recall must be available at the client for recall information specifically associated with the particular client station initiating the game recall. (f) The capacity to initiate game recall for any and all clients that make up the Server-Based Gaming System must be available from the system or server portion of the SBGS. The requirement to display game recall applies to all game programs currently installed on the server portion of the Server-Based Game. If the system is hybrid then the game results shall be available from the server for all clients that make up the SBGS in report form as long as play history details as stated are available on the client terminal. (g) A complete transaction history for transactions with a cashless wagering system to include the most recent and the previous thirty-four transactions prior to the most recent transaction for each client station that incremented any of the cashless in-or out meters. The capability to initiate transaction history must be available at the client terminal for the transaction history specifically associated with the particular client terminated initiating the history information request.
30.24 Download Data Library The Download Data Library refers to the formal storage of all approved data files that may be downloaded to Client Terminals including control and game software, peripheral firmware, configuration data, etc.
30.25 Update of Download Data Library Where applicable, the CSS Download Data Library shall only be written to, with secure access that is controlled by the commission, in which case the manufacturer and/or operator will be able to access the Download Data Library, provided that this access does not permit adding or deleting Download Data Files; or the Download Data Library shall only be written to using a method that is acceptable by an independent test laboratory and the commission.
30.26 Download Data Library Audit Log Any changes that are made to the Download Data Library, including the addition, changing or deletion of Game Programs, must be stored in an un-alterable audit log, which shall include:
(a) Time and Date of the access and/or event; (b) Log In Name and Download Data Files added, changed, or deleted.
30.27 Download Activity Audit Log Any record of activity between the Server and the Client that involves the downloading of program logic, the adjustment of client settings/configurations, or the activation of previously downloaded program logic, must be stored in an unalterable audit log. This log shall include the Client Terminal(s) which the Game Program was downloaded to and, if applicable, the program it replaced. In addition the log shall include the Client Terminal(s) which the Game Program was activated on, the program it replaced and Changes to the Client Terminal configuration settings/configurations and what the changes were.
30.28 Download of Client Terminal Data Files and Control Programs This will outline the requirements of the CSS when downloading software, games and other configuration data to Client Terminals, if the Server provides the functionality of downloading control programs and other software resources, whether for a Server-Based Game System, a System Supported Game System or a hybrid system.
30.29 Authentication of Control Programs The CSS shall authenticate all critical files including, but not limited to, executables, data, and other files, which may affect the game outcome or the compliant operation of the CSS during the following:
(a) Any processor reset; (power-up, soft reset) (b) The first time the files are loaded for use. (even if only partially loaded)
The CSS shall employ an industry standard secure hashing algorithm (e.g. MD-5 or SHA-1).
In the event of failed authentication the player terminal should immediately enter an Error Condition with the appropriate audio and visual indicator. This Error shall require operator intervention.
The CSS shall display specific error information and shall not clear until either the file authenticates properly, following the operator intervention, or the medium is replaced or corrected, and the memory is cleared (if applicable), the component is restarted, and all files authenticate correctly.
30.30 Control Program These minimum technical regulations shall be met, where applicable, when downloading/activating control programs from the CSS Server to the Client Terminal.
(a) The Client Terminal and/or the CSS Server must have a method to monitor and report to the MCS all external door access during a foreground program download and/or activation process. If the CSS does not have the ability to monitor the door access during the foreground program download and/or activation process, an independent test laboratory's report shall indicate as such so that Internal Controls can be developed to ensure the security of the Client Terminal's security, primarily with regard to the cash compartments, where applicable. (b) Below are the methods to store the current game data that is pertinent to the individual Client Terminal when updating the Control Program in an SSGS configuration; i. Where applicable, the Game Data is uploaded and security stored on the CSS Server and is maintained for a minimum of 24-hours and archived after that time; or is maintained in log or script file. If this method is used, the process in downloading the new Control Program to the Client Terminal must ensure that all critical areas of memory are overwritten by a default value; or ii. The Game data is maintained at the client terminal; or iii. If the CSS is not capable of meeting the above regulation, Regulatory Control may be required on the CSS Server for new Client Terminal Control Program downloads. In addition, the alternate methods used will be reviewed by an independent test laboratory and the commission on a case-by-case basis.
(a) The Client Terminal and/or the CSS Server must have a method to monitor and report to the MCS all external door access during a foreground program download and/or activation process. If the CSS does not have the ability to monitor the door access during the foreground program download and/or activation process, an independent test laboratory's report shall indicate as such so that Internal Controls can be developed to ensure the security of the Client Terminal's security, primarily with regard to the cash compartments, where applicable.
(b) Below are the methods to store the current game data that is pertinent to the individual Client Terminal when updating the Control Program in an SSGS configuration;
i. Where applicable, the Game Data is uploaded and security stored on the CSS Server and is maintained for a minimum of 24-hours and archived after that time; or is maintained in log or script file. If this method is used, the process in downloading the new Control Program to the Client Terminal must ensure that all critical areas of memory are overwritten by a default value; or ii. The Game data is maintained at the client terminal; or iii. If the CSS is not capable of meeting the above regulation, Regulatory Control may be required on the CSS Server for new Client Terminal Control Program downloads. In addition, the alternate methods used will be reviewed by an independent test laboratory and the commission on a case-by-case basis.
30.31 Control of Client Terminal Configurations Client Terminals used in a CSS environment that have alterable configurations that require Regulatory Control, as outlined within Arkansas EGS regulations, may be waived provided that the rules within this section are met.
30.32 Paytable/Denomination Configuration Changes Client Terminal Control Programs that offer multiple paytables and/or denominations that can be configured via the CSS Server will not require Regulatory Control to change the paytable selected, provided the following rules be met.
(a) All paytables that are available meet the theoretical payback percentage and odds requirements as stated in Arkansas EGS regulations. (b) The client terminal and/or CSS Server maintains the Amounts Bet and Amounts Won meters within Critical Memory for each of the paytables that are available. (c) The Client Terminal maintains the Master Accounting meters in dollars and cents or the lowest denomination available for the local currency. (d) The game is in an Idle State when the update occurs. (e) The change will not cause inaccurate crediting or payment (i.e., games using coin hoppers and coin acceptors with a fixed denomination).
30.33 Client Terminal Critical Memory Clear The process of clearing memory on the Client Terminals via the CSS must utilize a secure method that would require Regulatory Control. For systems that do not comply with this rule, the commission must approve the method used.
30.34 Random Number Generator A CSS may be utilized for the generation of Random Values, which are subsequently communicated to the Client Terminal's Control Program that is required for the determination of game outcomes. The CSS Server generation of Random Values shall not include the generation of finite pools of game outcomes. In the event the CSS has the ability to download Random Values to the Client Terminal, the Random Number Generator shall function in accordance with the Randomness Requirements as outlined in the Arkansas EGS regulation.
Systems utilizing finite pools of game outcomes (i.e. Electronic Pull-Tab Systems) shall dispense upon request from a Client Terminal an Electronic Ticket or Game Outcome. All finite games must be played without replacement. Once dispensed such ticket or outcome must not be reused until the Game Set is replenished.
The system shall utilize randomizing procedures in the creation of the Game Sets for Electronic Tickets or Game Outcomes. The randomizing procedure shall be in accordance with the RNG requirements stated in the Arkansas EGS regulation with the exception of mechanical based RNG games.
30.35 CSS Client Terminal This terminal is used by the player to place wagers, play the game(s) on offer and win prizes (when applicable). The Player Terminal may receive game play information from the Game Server, in the case of System Based Game System (SBGS) or make it own determination in the case of a System Supported Game System (SSGS), and then displays the information to the player. Game play and other functionality may be separated in parts, where some components may be generated within or outside the Player Terminal (e.g., Player Terminals that function with a system). A client terminal shall be robust enough to resist forced illegal entry unless such entry causes an error condition, and which does not affect the subsequent play or any other play, prize or aspect of the game.
30.36 Software Activation Prior to execution of updated software, the Client Terminal must be in an Idle State for a time fame determined by the Commission and the software is successfully authenticated, as defined within Arkansas regulation.

George and the Jobs Report
By Bruce Nussbaum
All eyes will be on George W. Bush on the evening of Sept. 2, as he gives his acceptance speech to the Republican Convention in New York. But however skillfully written and however adept the delivery, its impact will be influenced by an event few are paying much attention to -- yet. On the morning of Sept. 3, about 12 hours after Bush says goodnight on TV to GOP delegates and the nation, the federal government will release the August employment report.
Anything under 100,000 new jobs created could hurt Bush and undermine his convention message of being the best Presidential choice to bring safety and prosperity to all Americans. Anything over 200,000 will likely help bolster Bush's claim for four more years.
The August jobs numbers are critical because they'll follow a surprisingly weak July report. In that month, only 32,000 jobs were created, a fraction of what economic and political pundits were expecting. Just as bad, the June numbers were ratcheted down as well.
A weak result for August may make it impossible for Bush to avoid being the first President since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in jobs during his tenure. This is political dynamite that could reverberate in a number of tight races in battleground states, with Ohio and Pennsylvania perhaps the most important.
Another measure of jobs, the Household Survey, did show a big pickup in jobs in July -- 629,000. But even Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has said publicly that this gauge isn't a very good measure of employment. The payroll report is much better, he has told Congress.
Most analysts are expecting strong results for August -- close to 200,000 new jobs created (see BW Online, 9/1/04, "A Late Summer Lift for Jobs?"). So if the payroll number comes out weak and Republican supporters trot out the Household Survey numbers, don't believe it. The stock and bond markets certainly won't. And voters may not either.
Nussbaum is editorial page editor for BusinessWeek in New York

Deficit Elimination, Economic Performance and Social Progress in Canada in the 1990s
In: The Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress 2001: The Longest Decade: Canada in the 1990s
In this chapter, Don Drummond makes the case that with large deficits there was little room for the Bank of Canada to reduce interest rates to stimulate the economy and generate revenues. It was imperative that the deficit be eliminated. Tax rates were already high so the government had no choice but to cut program spending. Drummond recognizes that the cuts caused hardship for some Canadians, but feels that the suffering was relatively limited and temporary in nature. Drummond argues that the elimination of the deficit has reduced risk premia and allowed the Bank of Canada to bring interest rates down.

Latest statistics show three assaults per hour in 2012
(Picture: RT/AFP/Scott Olson)
May 9, 2013
The Pentagon admitted this week upon the completion of a soon-to-be released Defense Department study that sexual assaults within the United States military are on the rise.
The full results of the survey will not be unveiled until later this week, but the Pentagon has already disclosed one particularly startling statistic: within the ranks of the military, the number of service members who say they've been sexually assaulted during the last year amounts to roughly 26,000.
By comparison, 19,300 service members answered similarly in a 2010 study, suggesting the number of attacks has increased by one- third in just two years' time.
"Sexual assault is a persistent problem and there is more work to be done," the Pentagon acknowledged in a statement obtained by USA Today.
Members of both Congress and the President Barack Obama White House responded already this week with outrage over the alarming trend. Lawmakers from the left and right have expressed their disappointment in the findings, and only hours after the results were published Pres. Obama spoke of the issue during a conversation with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
"I've directly spoken to Secretary Hagel already today and indicated to him that we not only have to step up our game but exponentially go after it," Obama said during a Tuesday presser.
One day earlier, Hagel called Air Force Secretary Michael Donley to voice his dismay over another report that has ravaged the Pentagon's reputation as of late: over the weekend, Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski of the Air Force's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office was arrested for allegedly groping a woman in a suburban Washington, DC parking lot. According to a spokesperson with the Pentagon, Hagel called Donley on Monday to "express outrage and disgust," and insisted the matter be dealt with "swiftly and decisively."
"The American people, including our service members, should expect a culture of absolutely no tolerance for this deplorable behavior that violates not only the law, but basic principles of respect, honor, and dignity in our society and its military," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said Tuesday. "Secretary Hagel is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of behavior in America's armed forces and will take action to see this through."
So far this week, though, Hagel has had to weigh in twice in regards to the Pentagon's snowballing sexual abuse problem. Following the release of the shocking numbers determined in this week's Defense Department study, Hagel issued a new statement to declare "Sexual assault is a crime that is incompatible with military service and has no place in this department."
"It is an affront to the American values we defend, and it is a stain on our honor," added Hagel. "DoD needs to be a national leader in combating sexual assault and we will establish an environment of dignity and respect, where sexual assault is not tolerated, condoned or ignored."
Commenting on the accusations that Lt. Col. Krusinski drunkenly groped a woman in Northern Virginia over the weekend, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) said, "This arrest speaks volumes about the status and effectiveness of the Department of Defense's efforts to address the plague of sexual assaults in the military."
The Pentagon has determined that the rate of female victims victimized in sexual assaults went from roughly 1-in-26 to 1-in-16 between the 2010 study and the most recent report. The actual number of incidents could be far greater, though, as other studies have suggested that accurate data in terms of Defense Department rapes is hard to get a hold of. Although 26,000 service members say they were sexually assaulted in 2012, the Pentagon officially counted only 3,374 formal allegations.

2. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
There is probably a VAT that is pushing up the sell price. No VAT in the U.S.
3. wendygarett (unregistered)
Of course is vat lol... Cost 809 in Europe but 790 in Australia...
4. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)

5. wendygarett (unregistered)

6. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Different VAT %? I don't know if Australia has a VAT, though. If no VAT in Australia, then other factors would drive the sell price.
7. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
But in 10 months, Apple will be releasing the iP6. Sure you could pass up a bright, shiny, new iP6 for a 6 month old Z?
8. wendygarett (unregistered)

17. pyradark (Posts: 877; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)

19. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
So much ignorance in one comment. Post updated, its $644. I happen to live in a very rainy country (its raining right now as im typing), so water resistance is a good feature
14. Ameliahunter (Posts: 26; Member since: 15 Jan 2013)
It's also available at Amazon for 649 Euros... I think it's a nice phone, and maybe I'll even buy it, but I want a Galaxy Note, too... Mmm, can't decide!!!
16. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
you have the same dilemma as me, but plz don't compare this beauty with Gnote2.
every aspect is almost the same with Sony edging in some aspects like camera and water and dust proof certification.
so you see i made my decision. this is much much better and much more classy than note2.
20. aayupanday (Posts: 580; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
That is a much better price point as compared to the others before.....
23. Rexperia (Posts: 134; Member since: 28 Sep 2012)
This is 5" full HD display, so i think the price is quite reasonable, considering the spec and also everything inside and outside..

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
After Shootings, Coast Guard Closed Down D.C. Area Recruiting Stations
The Coast Guard has also made sure all of their recruiters around the country are aware of the incident and are on alert, Carr said. "Nobody comes into a Coast Guard recruiting station without an appointment, this is just normal policy," he added. Carr was checking to see if the offices had re-opened today.
All of the incidents -- two at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, one at the Pentagon, one at a U.S. Marine recruiting center and one at the U.S. Coast Guard recruiting center -- have a few things in common. They all take place in the middle of the night and seem to target military installations but not people.
As NPR reported, an FBI official speaking with reporters late last week seemed at times to be speaking directly to the shooter.
"We'd like to know what this grievance is and what we can do to try help resolve it," said John Perren, head of FBI's Washington field office. "We're willing to listen to him and hear his side of the story."
Investigators have a rough psychological profile of the individual. They say he is most likely (but not definitely) male, and could be a current or former service member who suffered a setback such as a divorce or a job loss, NPR reported.

Optus announced today the Optus D1 satellite, the first of the latest generation of Optus' D-series satellites, has been selected to provide a critical communications link between the United States Antarctic facility at McMurdo Sound and Optus Satellite facility in Sydney, Australia.
Paul Sheridan, Head of Optus Satellite, said "Optus has been leading the way in satellite-based communication services for over 20 years. We are delighted the state-of-the-art Optus D1 satellite has been selected to be used as part of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) network."
NPOESS will use polar-orbiting satellites to observe Earth from space. The satellites will collect and disseminate data on Earth's weather, atmosphere, oceans, land, and near-space environment. The polar orbiting satellites are able to monitor the entire planet and will bring improved data and imagery that will allow better weather forecasts, severe-weather monitoring and detection of climate change.
The raw data collected by the NPOESS satellites is then modelled at the U.S. based weather data centres and distributed to a global user population which includes bodies such as bureaus of meteorology.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) manages and funds the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP), which coordinates all U.S. research on the southernmost continent. McMurdo is one of three year-round stations NSF maintains in Antarctica, the others being Amundsen-Scott, at the geographic South Pole, and Palmer, on the Antarctic Peninsula. The National Science Foundation and NPOESS are jointly collaborating on the development of McMurdo as one of the NPOESS weather downlink stations and intend to share the satellite service provided by Optus.
Optus has been working closely with Raytheon Company in the provision of the SafetyNet™ system which is a network linking 15 satellite antennas to the weather data centres. Data collected by the NPOESS satellites is capable of being downloaded to any of the receptor sites installed at key locations around the globe. Each of the sites, with the exception of McMurdo Station, is connected via a fibre cable network to the system data centres. The data collected in McMurdo will be transferred via the Optus D1 satellite to the fibre network in Sydney, Australia.
"We believe the D1 satellite coverage will make a real difference to the McMurdo Sound facility. Optus Satellite will be delivering a unique communications solution to meet our customers' specific requirements. It also further cements our position as the premium supplier of satellite services in our chosen markets," said Mr. Sheridan.
The NSF Black Island satellite earth station facility, located 20 km distant from McMurdo on a desolate, wind-swept island, will establish the link with Optus D1. In addition to supporting NPOESS data transmissions, NSF will more than triple its current data communications capability for the USAP, a significant benefit to the science research program, as well as to the health and safety of more than a thousand people.
Optus successfully launched the first of the D-series satellites, Optus D1, on an Arianespace launcher from French Guiana, South America in October 2006.
The Optus D2 satellite is planned to be launched in October 2007 by Arianespace from French Guiana and a third satellite, Optus D3, is planned to be delivered in 2009.
The Optus D series satellites are constructed by Orbital Sciences Corporation of the United States.

Gonzalez is a double winner at Gladstone
The Mustang senior is tough in the distances
Milwaukie senior distance standout Sasha Gonzalez made a strong showing in her first competition of the season, breezing to first place in both the 1,500 meters (5:24) and 3,000 meters (11:43.8) in a March 20 meet with Banks and defending Class 4A state champion Gladstone, at Gladstone.
Gonzalez time in the 3,000 ranks her among the top athletes in the state in Class 5A in that event.
Its her senior year and Sasha has really dedicated herself to doing well, said Milwaukie coach Barrie Malcolm. Shes been one of the hardest workers on the team.
Gonzalez was Milwaukies only winner, both because of the high level of competition and because the Mustangs were missing one of their top athletes. Senior Alexis Noren, who excels in the high jump, long jump and triple jump, was away on a field trip.
Because of the cool, breezy and showery weather, the marks werent that great. But the Mustangs did have some good early-season competitive performances.
Senior Mackenzie West, competing in the high hurdles for the first time ever, placed second, with an effort of 19.5, in that event. And Milwaukie junior Roo Cachero, competing in the low hurdles for the first time, placed third in that event, with a 58.5 clocking.
Junior Kayler Hammond had a good day, earning runner-up honors in the shot put (32-5) and placing third in the discus (96-4).
Senior Kendall Gronvold finished runner-up in two events, the 800 (2:55) and 3,000 (13:37).
Competing in a strong field, senior Cordaja Ware placed third in the 100 (13.4), and junior Becky Ponnay placed third in the 400 (1:07.0).
Coach Malcolm says hes got a good turnout this spring, with 43 girls signed up to compete in track. He says his Mustangs are hopeful that they can finish with a winning record in Northwest Oregon Conference dual meets.
Malcolm added, We have a handful of girls who could place high [at district], and we have the potential to be a better big-meet team than a dual-meet team.
The Mustangs begin NWOC competition next Wednesday, when they travel to St. Helens to take on the Lions.
Malcolm this spring replaces Mike Petersen as Milwaukie girls coach. Hes been a coach in Milwaukies track program for 34 years and was the girls head coach 20 years ago.
Malcolm says he sees Wilsonville and Liberty as the favorites in the NWOC in girls track and field this spring.

The short answer would be that you can carry a 13" knife while you are fishing or hunting, provided you have a valid hunting or fishing license. "Camping or recreational use" are not listed as exemptions in the statute but the reality is that if you are out in the middle of the woods with your pup tent you are unlikely to encounter any law enforcement officers.
Connecticut General Statute 29-38 deals with Weapons In Vehicles. It says in part:Sec. 29-38. Weapons in vehicles. (a) Any person who knowingly has, in any vehicle owned, operated or occupied by such person, any weapon, ... ...and the presence of any such weapon... ...in any vehicle shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section by the owner, operator and each occupant thereof. The word "weapon", as used in this section, means any... ...any dirk knife or switch knife, any knife having an automatic spring release device by which a blade is released from the handle, having a blade of over one and one-half inches in length, any stiletto, any knife the edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or over in length... ...or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument.
Subsection (b) reads in part:The provisions of this section shall not apply to: ...(F) any person holding a valid hunting, fishing or trapping license issued pursuant to chapter 490 or any salt water fisherman while having such knife in a vehicle for lawful hunting, fishing or trapping activities...
The other statute of importance to you would be Sec. 53-206. Carrying of dangerous weapons prohibited. It deals with carry weapons on your person and contains language similar to that i section 29-38.
Theses statutes contain some exemptions from the prohibition of carrying otherwise illegal knives around in your car, however, there is no generalized exemption that would allow you to carry one at all times. Common sense tells you that if you lock up your knife in your trunk, tell no one it's there, never give the Police permission to search it, and commit no other crime, your chances of being caught are next to zero. However, you have to decide for yourself whether it's worth the risk.

We were satisfied with the Studio. It is located very close to the Promenade des Anglais. The host was very kind and helpful.
The location for me was perfect as very easy reachable by public transport from the airport and really only a 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The handling of the keys was absolutely on time - I did not had to wait one single second. Everything was superclean and the bathroom is totally new with a nice shower and a hairdryer.
Personnally speking, I found it a bit too functional - a bit too sober... there was no decoration like e.g. a little picture on the wall or anything.
And I would not recommend it for two people as it has just a sofa (no real bed) and for 2 people I consider it to be too small. Besides, you are sleeping directly next to the fridge that I had to switch off at night to be able to sleep.
You better bring earplugs with you, as the walls seem to be very thin and as there is another apartment right next to yours, you will hear EVERYTHING from your neighbours (in my case I was waking up every night by hearing them having sex and talking until 3 o clock at night).
It was ok for a short stay but I would recommend it more to younger people who just need a place to sleep. I would not have really liked to stay inside (e.g. in case of bad weather).
In my case, I was very unlucky, as I was arriving 3 days later and leaving 1 day earlier as originally booked because of a strike of the french air traffic controllers and I was informing Salvatore directly about this problem. Of course it was absolutely neither his fault nor problem, but I would have considered it to be nice to be reimbursed for at least 1 or 2 nights of the 4 ones I could not use the apartment.
WIMDU does not want to be involved into problems like that. They recommended me to deal about this directly with the owner. As soon as the booking is done and payed, they don't care anymore.
So next time, subjectively speaking, I think I will get back to booking a hotel in oldschool manner but objectively, everything was ok with the apartment.
We had the best stay at Salvatore's flat. It was small but had absolutely everthing it needed. Very close to the beach, clean towels and linnen and the room was clean and everything was fine! I would recommend this place to all wanting to go to Nice.
My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment for 12 nights. The host was very nice and helpful, and the apartment was cleaned really well for our stay. The apartment is nicely designed/decorated and the bathroom is really good too. Overall the apartment has everything you could need, with a laundromat just outside the front door of the building and a small grocery store in the same street. There is a bigger supermarket about 5 minutes away. The beach and boulevard are also just a 5 minute walk from the apartment and the train station is a nice 20 minute walk, but with the great bus connections you could be there in like 5-10 minutes.
I really recommend people, especially couples, to choose this great apartment when staying in Nice. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it and are very satisfied.
the first nice location u can walk to beach with in 5 mins that is the great part to me
me and my wife we almost spent time on the beach in nice of course u can
go old town it's little fat away but i only went to old town 1time only
if u stay in nice , i think u dont wanna do any thing just wanna lay down on the
beach So here is the best way in nice
The host is service-minded, reliable and flexible. The apartment was small though fulfilled all the basic requirements, incl. a reasonably comfortable bed, basic kitchen and a surprisingly nice bathroom and toilet. Though the furniture is mainly IKEA quality (or lack thereof) it is a good place to spend a weekend in walking distance from the promenade (5 min), place Massena (15 min) and the old city (18 min). It's even got a Blue Bikes (Velobleue) station right next to the entrance. Even though the street outside is heavily trafficed, the windows blocked most of the noise and we had a lovely time in Nice. I can recommend a stay at Blvd Grosso for any young couple on a low budget trip to Nice.

MONROE Authorities are investigating the fire that extensively damaged the interior of a grocery store on the city s east side.
A Monroe police officer on patrol reported the blaze at the Monroe Food Center, 1104 East Fourth St., about 9:20 a.m. after seeing smoke coming from the building. The store s owner discovered fire inside at about the same time and, with his wife, safely fled the otherwise unoccupied store.
The fire is being investigated by the Monroe County Fire Investigation Unit. A damage estimate was not available.

Marmalade is a kind of fruit preserve prepared by boiling the juice and peel of a citrus fruit together with sugar and water. The Seville orange found in Spain is the original fruit from which the condiment was made initially. This particular type of orange contains a higher quantity of pectin which helps it to set properly. The peel has a distinct bitter after taste which has become the characteristic of every recipe.
It can also be made from lime, lemon, tangerines, grapefruits or sweet oranges. It can also be prepared by combining two or more of the fruits together. The Californian variety makes use of the sweet variety of orange which does not have the bitter taste associated with it. The English distinguish marmalades from jam or jelly by using only citrus fruits for preparing it. A recipe of the condiment in other parts of the world particularly Europe can also refer to any kind of fruit preservative. All fruit preserves are labeled as 'marmaleda' in Spain while it is specifically the quince marmalade which is known as 'marmaleda' in Portugal.
It is considered to be a breakfast condiment and is usually eaten on toast. Only the citrus fruit preserves which are pulpy in nature are sold under the specific name in the countries belonging to the European Union.
History of the Marmalade Recipe
The recipe had been passed onto the Romans from the Greeks who knew the art of preserving quinces by cooking them with honey until the condiment turned into a semi solid mass. Recipes of quinces and lemon appear in the book of ceremonies written during the times of the Byzantine Emperor, Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos.
The French recipe for both clear preserves as well as the pulpy went by the name of cotignac. The 17th century British, however, referred only to the citrus fruit preserves as marmalade.
Ingredients and the Traditional Marmalade Recipe
The traditional recipe is made with Seville oranges and requires both the bitter variety of oranges as well as the lemons. Sugar and water are the only other ingredients required for making the condiment which can be stored in airtight jars and consumed slowly over a period of time.
The fruits are scrubbed along with their skins and placed in a preserving pan initially although it is a good idea to simmer the fruits with a tougher rind for some time before adding sugar. The entire concoction of sugar, water and fruit is allowed to simmer slowly until it starts boiling. The next part of poaching the fruit takes almost three hours where the pan is covered completely with a double foil and allowed to simmer at a gentle pace. It is then removed from the flame and cooled before the oranges and lemons are cut and scooped out with the flesh and pips all going into the pan containing the fruit juice and sugar which is again heated for a few hours. The entire process spills over to the next day when the contents are filtered with the aid of a nylon sieve and orange peels added to it in the form of thin strips. The marmalade is then stored into jars and allowed to set for some time before it can be consumed. Using fruit pectin helps to reduce the cooking time considerably.
Storing Marmalades
- A dry, clear day is ideal for making the condiment according to the traditional recipe.
- Making small batches of marmalade at a time helps to prevent scorching.
- Safe Canning procedures need to be implemented in order to give the condiment a long shelf life.
- The unopened jars need to be stored in a cool and dry place until they are opened and kept refrigerated thereafter.
- A mold like growth on the preserve indicates that the condiment is unfit for consumption.
Recipes Using Marmalades
It is a fruit preserve and is usually eaten on toast or scones. There are a number of recipes which make use of the condiment in order to add flavor to the dish. Some of the most popular recipes which use marmalade as ingredients are:-
- Stuffed Acorn Squash- It is mixed with the cranberry filling for the acorn.
- Bread Pudding- Applied on the bread pieces before baking.
- Crepes- Used to flavor the thin syrup that is poured over the crepes.
- Beef Brisket- Used as a topping or garnishing.
- Irish Tea Brack- Added to the fruit mixture before baking.
Nutritive Value of Marmalades
The fruit preserve is high in calcium, iron and vitamins particularly vitamin C. There are no saturated fats or cholesterol contained in it with the sodium content being quite low as well. However, the amount of sugar in marmalade is very high and it needs to be consumed in moderation in order to keep healthy.
- 'Marmalade boy' is a well known Japanese television series.

The Real War
Walt Whitman said, "The real war will never get in the books." The critic and writer Paul Fussell feels that the same sanitizing of history that went on after the 1860s has erased the national memory of what World War II was really like.
November 1989 | Volume 40, Issue 7
Your division, as we have noted, went into the line on November 16, near St.-Dié.
The Germans set fire to St.-Dié, angering us very, very much. Just after we attacked, there was an outpouring of priests and nuns from St.-Dié, soliciting help for the people who'd lost everything in this fire the Germans had set.
After the war I found out something very interesting, which has had a lot to do with my sense that more is going on in the Army than you think is going on. Just before the attack I was assigned to a house between the lines, calling down mortar fire on the Germans who'd been silhouetted by the fire they'd laid. I got an order from battalion to send out a patrol with an NCO and three or four men to see how deep the river was between our positions and the Germans. So I sent out my best sergeant and three or four of the six or eight men I had with me, and they went out for a couple of hours and reported that the river was nine inches deep and was very easy to cross without bridging equipment.
I sent the news back to battalion. The attack took place the next morning, and it was not terribly successful. They did achieve their mission, but with many casualties. After the war I was in a German town and I found this sergeant and we drank some beer together and he said, "You know, I want to ask you something. You know that night you sent us out, do you really think we went down to that river?"
And I said, "Yes, I did. I really did."
He said, "But of course we didn't. When we went out of the house we were scared to death. We went down from the house about fifty yards, we lay in the grass for about two hours, we all agreed on the story about the river."
I said, "Okay, thanks for telling me." That happens much more often, I think, than most people are aware.
November and December 1944 were bad enough, the weather getting worse there in the mountains. Then, in the third week in January, according to the reports, your outfit was hit by what looked like a panzer division.
We saw no tanks, but we saw a lot of troops. I think they were SS. They were very young and angry and National Socialist. That attack actually took place about five hundred yards to my right in a snowstorm. I wasn't aware of it at all. I had been warned that an attack was very likely, and I was looking out of my slit with my field glasses, and indeed I was seeing troops on the hill far away, German troops in line, moving from left to right, which I reported. The response was, "Well, they're too far away for us to do anything about it; keep us informed."
Those German troops were going through our line on my right, but I was utterly unaware of it. I heard a lot of firing to the rear, but you know, you always hear firing in all directions. And you're not certain where the rear is. It might be your right flank, which might bend back to another adjoining battalion. The line was never given on a map to a platoon leader. The company commander probably doesn't exactly know where it is.
Still, I would have numerous bright ideas. The Germans would carouse in a house within easy range, right in front of us. And I said to my company commander, "Look, may I get a bazooka and get out there some night and give them a big surprise? We'll send a shell right through the wall; we'll kill some of them." And the guy said, "No, you'll just stir them up—it will make things worse. If we sit here quietly, we'll be relieved in three or four days and we won't have any more casualties, and some new people will come up and deal with the situation." That's the sort of thing you get.
So you don't have much patience with explanations of wartime behavior that depend upon ideology and cause.
If you've been in combat more than ten minutes, you know that it is about survival, and it's about killing in order to survive, and one forgets the presumed ideological motives when one is performing these operations. You're captured by combat, and the only way to get out of the capture is to reduce the threat to your own personal safety, which is to kill the enemy. That's what you're doing in combat.
You did stir up the Germans at some point. When were you wounded?
The first day I was wounded was the first day I was on the line. When I was wandering around innocently and I hadn't yet heard of the 88-millimeter self-propelled gun, a fragment hit me on the elbow. It wasn't bad enough to require much treatment, but it happened. The second time was also a self-propelled gun; it looked like a tank. It hit a tree above me. I was lying on top of a bunker with another officer and my platoon sergeant, both of whom were killed by the same shell. And I was hit in the thigh and in the back.
That was the day of the attack of the 7th Army, ending ultimately in the crossing of the Rhine, but by that time I was in the hospital, and I stayed there until the war was over.
And since then you've been working up to this book.

An unidentified sex predator linked to two prior attacks in Mayfair seems to be expanding his territory and growing more violent, a Philadelphia police investigator said on Friday in the aftermath of a third brutal assault within 33 days.
During a news conference at the police department's Special Victims Unit, Capt. John Darby reported that a 20-year-old woman was badly beaten and sexually assaulted last Wednesday night behind Our Lady of Ransom Parish in Castor Gardens after a man grabbed her from the 6700 block of Roosevelt Blvd. Police believe that the attacker was the same man who assaulted two other women in their 20s in Mayfair on April 25 and May 17, based on similarities in the three cases, although detectives haven't ruled out the possibility of multiple offenders.
"We have identified a pattern, a series of incidents in the Mayfair and Oxford Circle [sic] sections of the city in the Northeast," Darby said. "This is a series of assaults on young women, late at night or [in the] early morning hours. … There is enough similarity in these cases certainly to cause us alarm. We want to bring to the attention of the public the fact that these incidents are occurring."
In each case, the attacker wore a black sweatshirt, using the hood to hide his features from potential witnesses and even from his victims, who have been unable to provide investigators with specific descriptions. In each case, he approached victims from behind. In two of the incidents, he used an unknown object to threaten the victims. In all cases, he issued verbal threats, too.
"That's consistent in each of the cases. There are threats to kill or harm the victim if they fail to cooperate," said Darby, who further characterized the attacker as "extremely aggressive."
"He's an extremely violent character. In two of the cases, the victims were able to quickly get away from him. … We just don't know where these attacks would lead if there wasn't some intervention by the victim or someone else on those particular cases," Darby said.
The first assault occurred on Friday, April 25, at about 11:45 p.m. The 23-year-old victim was walking along the 3300 block of Tyson Ave. toward a friend's house when a man approached her from behind, placed a sharp object to her throat and threatened to harm her if she did not cooperate with him. The man directed her to a rear driveway of the 3300 Disston St., where he sexually assaulted her, then fled.
A second attack occurred on Saturday, May 17, at about 12:50 a.m. The 29-year-old victim was walking home from a convenience store when she cut through a rear driveway for the 3200 block of Wellington St. Video of the incident released by police shows the man pursuing the unsuspecting victim past several private surveillance cameras and motion-sensor flood lights until he finally approaches her from behind and grabs her by the neck, pushing her out of the frame.
"The video was pretty compelling and shows the level of violence. This guy just goes at her almost immediately, pushes her behind the properties and there is an attempted sexual assault," Darby said.
According to an initial police report, the woman screamed for help and struggled to escape as the man placed an object to her neck and attempted to remove her clothing. The commotion drew the attention of a neighbor, who chased the fleeing attacker as far as Rowland Avenue.
The physical violence reached another level in the May 28 incident, which occurred at about 10:30 p.m. along busy Roosevelt Boulevard. The victim, 20, had just exited SEPTA's Route 20 bus at Longshore Avenue and was walking to meet a male friend who was a couple of blocks away, Darby said.
"A male approaches her, tackles her to the ground, pulls her behind one of the buildings at Our Lady of Ransom Church and physically and sexually assaults her," Darby said.
As the woman struggled, the attacker "strikes her several times in the face, causing a laceration that required suturing," the captain added. "Later on, hospital treatment had to be sought."
There is no composite sketch of the man because the attacker hid his face in all three cases. His race is unknown, although victims have described him as either white or black with light skin color. He is about 6 feet tall with broad shoulders and a medium build, Darby said. He has worn a dark hooded sweatshirt in all three cases. In two cases, he wore dark sweatpants. In the latest case, he wore shorts, Darby said. Police are unaware of any distinguishing marks or tattoos on the attacker.
Police advise women to avoid walking alone at night and ask for the public's help in keeping their neighborhoods secure. Women should walk in groups or have someone drive them to their destinations. They should carry cell phones and be ready to call 911 immediately if something seems suspicious. Neighbors can remain on the lookout for suspicious people walking around or loitering in an area as if looking for a victim.
"We need the community to step up and say, 'We're not going to allow this to happen,' " Darby said.
To view surveillance video of the May 17 attack, visit the Philadelphia Police channel on YouTube.com. Call the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251, 3263 or 3264 to report information. Ask for Officer Lichtenhahn or Lt. McFadden. ••

Anneka xx |
Hi, do you mean sickle hocks? Its a little hard to tell with his feathers, and because he's not stood square. But I do know, correct hind leg structure when viewed from the side is a line that extends from the point of the buttocks down to the point of the hock and runs parallel to the cannon bone, ending slightly behind the heel. Sickle-hocked horses have too much angle or set to their hocks. The horse's leg stands under the hip from the hock down due to the excessive angle of the hock. I've heard that horses with this condition tend to be outstanding athletes for brief periods before they become unsound. I've been trying to find you some pics, I'll keep looking. :wink: |
thank you meggymoo, just wondering thought even with his feather does it look like he has sickle hocks? this is the only problem which im doubting for when he goes into the show ring, and yes he is a good athlete (like a really good do'er) thank you for looking for pictures any would be greatful. Anneka xx |
This is only pic I could find. The straight line on the right is how his buttock, to point of hock and along the cannon bone should run. http://www.horseforum.com/userpix/728_back101_2.jpg Its really hard to tell with that pic. Have you got any of him stood more square? Dont let it put you off showing, if he has it will only be slight. :wink: |
thank you so much i think i understand alot more now, by any chance do you show? just wondering as your fromt he UK? ive got a show with my coloured on monday which should be fun, its in Doncaster! 2hours away. Anneka xx |
