ISLAMABAD (AP) — One of the deadliest militant groups in Afghanistan, the Haqqani network, has developed a sophisticated, "mafia"-style financing operation that relies on extortion, kidnapping, smuggling and ties to legitimate businesses, according to a new report by a U.S.-based think tank.
The report by the Combating Terrorism Center in West Point, N.Y., suggests the system has become so lucrative that maintaining it could be as much of a goal for the group as driving foreign forces out of Afghanistan. That could complicate U.S. efforts to negotiate an end to the war since much of the network's cash flow is dependent on instability and lawlessness bred by the conflict.
"Life at war has become lucrative — even if highly risky — while an end to the fighting would almost certainly produce a decline in wealth and power," said the report, which was released Tuesday and was based on archival records, documents captured in Afghanistan and interviews with Western, Afghan and Pakistani officials, as well as locals in areas where the Haqqani network operates.
The U.S. has identified the Haqqani network, allied with al-Qaida and the Taliban, as one of its most potent enemies in Afghanistan, partly because of its record of carrying out high-profile attacks on the capital Kabul. The leaders of the group are based in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area, having fled there from their homeland in eastern Afghanistan following the U.S.-led invasion in 2001.
The U.S. has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan prevent Haqqani fighters from using North Waziristan as a base to attack troops in Afghanistan, but Islamabad has refused, saying it is stretched too thin fighting domestic militants. Most analysts believe Pakistan is reluctant to target a group with which it has strong historical ties and could be a useful ally in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.
The diplomat nominated to be Washington's next ambassador to Pakistan, Richard Olson, said during a Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday that getting Islamabad to crack down on the Haqqani network would be his "most urgent" responsibility.
The group's founder, Jalaluddin Haqqani, began developing his financial support network in earnest decades ago following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. During the decade-long war, he was largely reliant on money, weapons and supplies provided by Pakistani intelligence, which received billions of dollars from the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
Foreign assistance dropped sharply after the Soviets withdrew in 1989, prompting Haqqani to search for new sources of funding, including Arab donors in the Gulf and proceeds from protecting drug traffickers and extorting businessmen in eastern Afghanistan and areas across the border in Pakistan, said the think tank report.
Haqqani's ability to earn money from drug trafficking and other smuggling activities increased after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in 1996 and named him minister of tribal and border affairs.
Following the fall of the Taliban in 2001 and relocation to Pakistan, the group continued its outreach to Arab donors, with senior leaders making regular trips to the Gulf, and deepened involvement in illegal activities by broadening the types of businesses it extorted and kidnapping local businessmen and their relatives, said the report.
"Local sources ... say it is virtually impossible to conduct business in Haqqani areas of operations unless the network approves and profits off that business in some way," said the report.
The most lucrative target for extortion is NATO and other foreign-funded construction projects in Afghanistan and Pakistan, said the report. Although it is impossible to pinpoint a precise figure the group earns, multiple sources say extortion has become the network's largest source of income. But this type of predation risks turning locals against the group.
The network's reliance on illicit sources of financing reportedly increased after Haqqani had a stroke in 2005 and handed over responsibility for day-to-day operations to his son, Sirajuddin. The son is credited by some analysts with expanding into the smuggling of minerals and timber, said the report. The group is also believed to be deeply involved into importing chemicals needed to process opium into heroin, it said.
The Haqqani network also maintains a portfolio of legal business interests, although leaders appear to disguise their ownership through front men and companies, said the report. The group is believed to own real estate from Kabul to Dubai and to run transport and trucking firms, construction companies and import-export operations — some of which appear to exist mainly to launder illicit profits.
The report suggested that targeting the group's financial infrastructure could be a key way to hamper the network.
"In partnership with the ongoing tactical campaign, a stepped-up U.S. effort to identify and disrupt Haqqani business activities and logistical supply lines, modeled on previous successful campaigns against other transnational crime networks around the globe, could significantly degrade the network's capacity to cause trouble," said the report.

Sport in Guyra
Fishing in one of Guyra's numerous and beautiful streams is a great way to relax and get back to nature. You might land a big trout, too! If you're looking for more active pursuits, you're within easy reach of a number of scenic national parks, where rock climbing, kayaking horseriding and bushwalking are just some of your options.
About Guyra
Guyra is a peaceful, elevated village in the Armidale area on the New England Tablelands, where snow is not unusual in winter. In the 19th century, dairy farming was a major economic activity here, but these days, other produce, such as potatoes and tomatoes, are staple crops. The Guyra Lamb and Potato Festival takes place every year in January to celebrate local produce.
Grab your binoculars and go birdwatching at Mother of Ducks Lagoon, a wetlands reserve that attracts nature and bird lovers from all over the world. Go bushwalking and enjoy the serenity of Wollomombi Falls, Guy Fawkes River National Park, Ebor Falls and Cathedral Rock National Park.
A small selection of accommodation is available in town, or base yourself further afield in the Armidale area, where you'll find an abundance of hotels, motels, B&Bs and caravan parks. This area of Country NSW is very popular with those who love adventure, with Oxley Wild Rivers National Park in the vicinity. If food and wine is your prime field of interest, you'll find plenty to satisfy your cravings.

Richard Stearman: Jody has left a legacy at Wolves
Wolves defender Richard Stearman today declared Jody Craddock left a lasting legacy at Molineux for players like him to follow.
Stearman played many games alongside Craddock – including the 2008-09 Championship title success and in the Premier League – and he credits him with 'moulding' younger defenders such as himself and Danny Batth.
"Jody was a model professional both on and off the pitch; a complete gentleman and when he asked me to be involved in his testimonial I was delighted to do so," said Stearman.
"He moulded a lot of us who were here when he was here – myself, and Danny Batth among others, he had a massive influence on not only the way we tried to play the game but as people as well.
"And that was on and off the pitch because the way he conducted himself showed an excellent example.
"To play as high as he did throughout his career into his mid-30s and in the Premier League was a great tribute to him, and the year he retired he could have played as well in my opinion.
"He was still that fit and what a great career he had and it's great that we could celebrate it with him."
Stearman ranks Craddock as among the best defenders he has played with and saluted his bravery.
"He's certainly right up there with the best I've played with - not just for what he did on the pitch but off it as well," he said.
"He was a pleasure to play with.
"He didn't mind putting his head where it hurts and that typified his sort of game.
"He was never scared and he was a joy to play with him – he was a very good defender.
"Seeing all the fans and the turnout was a great testament to Jody and the legacy that he left on the team and the club.
"It's incredible with the amount of people who were there for a Bank Holiday after the season's finished.
"To experience what he's been through, we were delighted to play a part in hopefully raising a lot of money for his charity.
"It's a great cause and I was very proud to see as many people turn out as they did."

Family mystery: How did ccbreland's ancestor's body end up by the railroad tracks?
Washington provider ccbreland has an MLS degree and a paralegal certificate. She specializes in offline record searches—wills and probate, deeds, guardianship, and land records—with a focus on Washington, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Her memberships include the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and the National Genealogical Society.
How did you get started doing genealogy research?
My mother introduced me to historical fiction by way of Dawn's Early Light, the first book in the Williamsburg series by Elswyth Thane, when I was 13. They all had family tree charts, which I found fascinating.
When I was just out of high school (almost 40 years ago!) my paternal grandfather died, and my father brought home a stack of papers – scribbled family trees, typed family stories, newspaper clippings, and a church letter of transfer dated 1817. I was hooked, immediately.
The first vital record I sent for was my maternal grandmother's death record. She died when my mother was 5 months old, and my mother never knew her cause of death.
Way back then most of my research was done by mail, requesting vital records, ordering census records from the National Archives, and corresponding with libraries. When I was in college in Florida, I took every chance I could to drive to Michigan in order to visit cemeteries, research in courthouses, and interview older relatives.
How have you developed your research skills?
Nothing develops skill more than experience – the more I research, the more I learn. I value all the online educational opportunities that are online now, and I keep up with genealogy news by way of social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Whenever I hear of a new website or record collection, I go check it out.
Do you have a genealogy superpower?
If so, what is it? After all these years of researching, I've developed an "instinct" for knowing when I've found the person/family I'm looking for. I've honed my skills in using indirect or negative (rather than direct) evidence to link names, dates and relationships. And I'm always questioning my conclusions: "How do I KNOW that?"
Describe a challenging research problem you're proud of having solved.
I've helped two clients prove their descent from a Revolutionary War ancestor so that they could join the DAR, and I've introduced several distant cousins to our common heritage, giving them the benefit of my years of research.
Just this week I proved a case of 19th century identity theft, the first time I've found concrete evidence that a client's ancestor actually assumed someone else's identity!
Tell us a favorite story about one of your ancestors.
My favorite story is a real mystery – my great great grandmother was bedridden at the age of 53, and could hardly make it from her bed to the bathroom. One night she went missing, and her husband and son searched the house. The next morning she was found, dead of a skull fracture, next to the railroad tracks half a mile away. The inquest decided that she committed suicide, even though her stockings (she wasn't wearing shoes) were not soiled, and there was no blood found on any of the trains passing by that night. Oh, for a time machine!
What's the most unique record source that you access for research?
I love looking at records that are not online or on microfilm. I had the opportunity to examine the Washington State Archives collection of Professional Licensing Complaints against doctors, chiropractors, nurses, dentists and barbers in Washington State. They were a fascinating picture of the charges (trumped-up or real) against people in these professions decades ago.
What's the one must-visit repository visitors doing research in your area?
The Puget Sound Regional Archives (on the campus of Bellevue College) has extensive records from King, Kitsap and Pierce counties, including registers of voters, property records, birth and death registers, medical registers, and wills and probate. I've looked at paperwork committing people to local insane asylums, and I had the opportunity to examine the Last Will and Testament of Arthur Denny, who was instrumental in helping Seattle grow in the 1890's.
What tools do you use to create the reports/images that you provide to clients?
I love Irfanview for saving and manipulating images. In my report-writing I generally use Word and Excel, and I also use Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use Cloud storage extensively (SkyDrive, DropBox and My Cubby) to store and share client files. My genealogy software is Legacy Family Tree, and I love the free webinars they provide!
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to break through a brick wall?
I have found (over and over again) that it helps if you leave it alone for a while. Go work on something else, and in several months you can come back to it and look at it with new eyes, and perhaps some additional experience or education. There are new collections coming online regularly now, and perhaps something has surfaced that will help solve your problem!
What hobbies do you pursue when you're not at the archives doing research?
I keep up with my kids on Facebook, and I'm currently organizing my years of genealogy and scanning lots of paperwork to keep on the computer. My husband and I are downsizing in preparation for moving to a smaller house. And I love to read – especially genealogical or historical mysteries!
Anything else you'd like to share?
I'll be doing research for the rest of my life – there is ALWAYS something more to find!
Just this week I proved a case of 19th century identity theft, the first time I've found concrete evidence that a client's ancestor actually assumed someone else's identity!

Hotmail has evolved into something better compared to before, as time goes by. It made a huge improvement, and a lot of people are getting hooked to this site. Currently, hotmail is known to be as Windows Live Hotmail since it comes under a live product web site. Visiting or logging into the page of Hotmail, you need to go to mail.live.com because even if you enter Hotmail, you will still find yourself on the same page. Basically, it is all about user preference. Hotmail is being operated by Microsoft that is a free-based email service. When it was launched, it was one of the first and unique of its kind. When it comes to hotmail login, there are a series of steps that you have to go through:
• A sign up page will be the first one that will welcome you. It is a page for new accounts to sign up, and where an existing user can log in too. If you happen to be a loyal Hotmail user and have been enjoying their services ever since, then you got to have the privilege to receive a free 5GB space which is also equipped with improvised security and spam filters. The log in page contains an extremely simple interface, so it is easy and fast to load.
• The Windows Live Hotmail page will just open up, and you will find that there are two sections present. The left side is intended for new users to sign up, while the right is for old members of Hotmail to log in. They just simply want to ask for your email ID together with your password.
• Once you have entered your email ID and your password, the site will provide you an option whether you want them to remember your ID and password or not. If you want to save yourself from all the hassles, then you might want to check the "remember me on this computer" box. The system will then generate a cookie that will keep your email address as well as you password whenever you open the log in page. However, the system will only remember the user if they utilize the same browser.
• After signing Hotmail in with the correct email ID and password, you can now view all of your emails, as well as sending mails too. Just in case that you have given out wrong information like an incorrect email ID or password, a screen message will pop out and inform you. Being considered as one of the many free email providers, the popularity and benefits it provides turned to be the center of attraction for most people. In addition, it also became an element of success. With the easy navigation on its page, there is no more need of using a mouse because all you need to have is a keyboard. Hotmail has proved to be noteworthy turning point in the entire history of Internet, as well as e-communication. There is nothing more to ask for when it comes to this extremely amazing site.
Although Msn hotmail is undoubtedly a free email service that is packaged with top security features, there are users who have experienced problems with Msn Hotmail login function. Although some problems associated with this function are of do-it-yourself nature, others might require you to seek the services of an expert if you have no computer knowhow. Msn hotmail login is specially designed in a secure manner and is hence very ideal for public accessed computers. In addition, a single Msn hotmail login enables you access free, unlimited wonderful services like skydive, office sync, custom news, entertainment, custom weather alerts and custom news.
Common Causes of Msn Hotmail Login Problems
Your login problem when using an Msn hotmail account may be due to a firewall. Some firewalls may block access to your Msn hotmail account. This problem is even worsened when you are using more than one firewall.
Hacking and Theft
If another user has hacked your account, it might be suspended from use until you verify it. Equally, if another user guesses or accesses your password and Id, he can modify your password to prevent you from accessing your account.
Wrong User Id or Password
It may sound trivial but if you have so many email accounts, you may confuse the login details. Also, some users are fond of setting long passwords that are not memorable. In addition, some browsers may save your passwords for easy automated access. However, you should update the password when you change it. And before you lay your blame on your Msn hotmail login function, you should ensure that you are using the right login information that you provided as you were signing up for your account, or the one you modified afterwards.
Ways of Fixing the Problems
Lower the Security Level
If the Msn hotmail login problems are caused by your firewall, it is recommendable you alter its security functions. In this regard, you can either include Msn hotmail in the acceptable list or even alter the level of security of your firewall. Equally, you may stop the firewall. However, lowering the security level of your browser or stopping it altogether is not highly recommendable because it compromises the overall security of your PC.
Clear Cookies and Cache Files

The history of Hotmail, launched by Jack Smith in addition to Sabeer Bhatia, was released in the fourth of july (Usa independence day) 1996 and also supplied totally free email accounts that may be utilized through any kind of personal computer, around the globe, as long as it got an active connection to the internet. Hotmail was most likely the very first to provide this type of service. FYI, the significance of the release day was basically "freedom" through ISP based e-mail service. In the end of the coming year, Hotmail got 8.5 million end users and has been purchased by Microsof company (December 1997) for the huge sum of $400 million. This simply means each one of the creators, ideally walked away along with $200 million each – not really a pretty bad total for just one and a half years of work. They always remember the History of Hotmail.
The brand of the service has been selected because it included the letters HTML, the language by which almost all webpages are usually created and also to stress upon this the first spelling was basically "HoTMaiL".
The Hotmail brand name was very strong.
It has a special high quality and a exceptional remember value.
Following the purchase from Microsoft company, the service was basically re-named MSN Hotmail and experienced numerous modifications in the logo.
In the past, Microsoft company had made a decision to remove the "Hotmail" brand name and call the service Windows Live Mail however this confused customers and the strategy was rapidly dropped. Such was the "power" of Hotmail brand name – catchy and memorable. The world wide web based e mail service is currently referred to as Windows Live Hotmail and now we hope for a stop to additional alterations and modifications.

Military officials say they're moving forward with a plan that will consolidate U.S. cyberspace training into a new center of excellence at Fort Gordon in east Georgia.
The Army's chief of staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, has approved the plan, which officials describe as one of the most significant reorganizations in American intelligence.
The newspaper reports that the Army plans to create a Cyber Center of Excellence at Fort Gordon that will "unify and modernize" all cyber-related training efforts, including those that teach how to use electronic-warfare technology to track electromagnetic activity worldwide.
Ray Harp, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, said Army Secretary John McHugh is expected to approve the measure soon.

Lav Diaz, at 55 a semi-legendary veteran of the Asian avant-garde, believes in space and time. Space for his stories to breathe; time for them to grow and develop. The Filipino filmmaker's features clock in at a barely programmable five, six, eight hours. His latest, Norte, the End of History, is a relative tiddler at 250 minutes. No wonder western distributors, previously Diaz-shy, have seized it.
Four hours contain three interconnected tales inspired by Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Fabian (Sid Lucero), a law school dropout turned anarchist, murders a moneylender and her daughter. Penurious family man Joaquin (Archie Alemania) is wrongly jailed. His wife (Angeli Bayani) is forced on to the streets as a vegetable cart vendor.
Each male character has moments to dazzle: the anarchist with his speeches, the injustice victim with his vaultings into the otherworldly (dream sequences, a "levitation"). But there are longueurs along the way. The convict's story sparks to life mainly in adversity (a brief, electrifying interplay with a brutal prison kingpin). And the "Raskolnikov" hero vanishes for long chunks, awkwardly re-engaging with us when he returns. Masterpiece? Not for me. Masterly elements, for sure. Spurts of vivid violence and dialectical debate. And some lapidary landscapes given visionary Lebensraum; though let's avoid world-domination language or we'll be up all night debating the leash-room we should allow ambitious ideologues and/or overambitious auteurs.

When the Money Runs Out: The End of Western Affluence, by Stephen King, Yale University Press, RRP£20/RRP$30
Academic debates over the right policy response are one of the few abundant commodities during an economic crisis. Just as in the 1930s and 1970s, the financial crisis that began in the late 2000s has divided economists into two camps. The neo-Keynesian troops have relentlessly attacked the eurozone and UK governments for pursuing overly contractionary fiscal policies. The "austerians" attack Barack Obama, US president, for his supposedly excessive largesse. Central banks, too – above all, the US Federal Reserve – have to deal with their own critics, who claim that ultra-loose monetary policy and overstretched balance sheets are not helping the recovery and are in fact planting the seeds of the next crisis.
What if, however, these debates were based on a false premise? This question is at the heart of When The Money Runs Out, a lively and provocative essay by Stephen King, HSBC chief economist and a regular contributor to the Financial Times. King notes how "the protagonists on both sides believe in much the same thing, namely that the appropriate macroeconomic policies will ultimately deliver a return to the growth rates of old". He poses the question: "What if both sides suffer from an 'optimism bias'?"
King is not alone in his belief that the recession is more than a cyclical downturn. He is of the same view as Robert Gordon, the American economist who has argued that long-term growth in the US will fall to half the rate registered between 1860 and 2007 – or even below that. In his epamphlet, The Great Stagnation, Tyler Cowen contended that the US economy has already picked the low-hanging fruits that drove growth and now faces a plateau.
Little by way of new evidence is presented to support King's uberpessimism. That is not the aim of his book. Rather, he intends to warn policy makers that there are risks from failing to face the ugly truth behind slow growth. Western societies may become fractured by three "schisms": between the rich and the poor; the young and the elderly; and creditors and debtors. Economic dystopia will lead to a political crisis. "When the money runs out, there is only disappointment. And from disappointment comes hardship, tragedy and anger," he writes.
The author calls on politicians to offer a new narrative of the crisis. This is the book's most convincing message. Whether or not one shares King's view, few will argue that western leaders have done enough to tell voters just how uncertain the outlook is. This reluctance is ultimately self-defeating: it may appease the electorate for a while but leads eventually to disappointment. The rise of anti-establishment parties in Europe – from the UK Independence party to Italy's Five Star Movement – is a product of this bonfire of illusions.
King is also right in his belief that policy makers have fallen short in actions as much as in words. The most glaring example is the inability of eurozone leaders to move towards the greater integration needed to make the currency union work.
Less convincing is his criticism of what policy makers are actually doing and, in particular, of the unorthodox monetary policies pursued by central banks. In the UK, quantitative easing has failed to spur a robust recovery but the outlook would have been worse without it. As for the US and Japan, in spite of recent market volatility there are tentative signs that the unprecedented opening of the monetary taps is helping to lift real output.
King is also unfair in blaming QE for creating winners and losers, which he writes "was never supposed to be part of a central bank's remit". This view ignores the fact that conventional interest rate policy has very different effects for borrowers and savers.
The book aims to describe "the end of western affluence". Yet, given the scale of the problem, the solutions it offers are excessively conventional. The author would like countries with flexible exchange rates to commit to long-term austerity through "circuit breakers" – a process that would automatically cut fiscal deficits when output grows, not when it contracts.
King also calls for a change in the mandate of central banks so that they target nominal income growth rather than inflation. However, it is hard to see how either solution could work if western economies are stuck in stagnation.
The truth is that we have no idea of how to steer economies without the lubricant of growth. King is right to put the question on the table. But it is telling that even he, who has thought long and hard about it, fails to find a convincing way of managing decline. It gives a sense of the magnitude of the challenge that would face western leaders were their governments really to run out of money.

Wake Forest Picks Up Ninth Straight Sweep of NC State
Oct. 6, 2007 RALEIGH, N.C. - Junior Natalie Mullikin recorded 20 kills, and Wake Forest held NC State to just nine points in the third game as the Demon Deacon swept the Wolfpack Saturday evening at Reynolds Coliseum. Wake took down State 30-26, 30-23, 30-9. The Deacons snap their two-match losing streak and move to 7-9 overall and 4-3 in the ACC. The Wolfpack fall to 3-14 overall and 0-7 in conference play. Mullikin led Wake to its 18th-straight defeat of NC State. The Lebanon, Ind. native finished the night with 20 kills and just one error in 28 attempts for a .679 hitting percentage. Mullikin also added a pair of aces and three blocks for the Deacs. Freshman setter Kelsey Jones posted her fourth straight double-double and the fifth in her last six matches. Jones dished out 38 assists and tallied 10 digs. Freshman libero Megan Thornberry led Wake Forest with 15 digs, while sophomore Abby Miller had nine. Freshman Kristen White fell just short of a double-double with 10 kills and eight digs. White, however, had five blocks including one block solo. Freshman Lauren McIntyre led the Deacs in blocking, finishing with seven. Junior Ashley Homitz chipped in three block assists for Wake. The Deacons never trailed in game one, but the Wolfpack kept it close throughout. Wake Forest's largest lead was five at 7-2. NC State pulled to within one late, 26-25, but Wake scored four of the final five points for the 30-26 win. Mullikin had 10 of her 20 kills in game one, hitting .769 with no errors in 13 attempts. Jones dished out 16 assists, and Thornberry had eight digs in the contest.
State took its only leads of the night early in game two, but it was all Wake Forest after that. Trailing 7-6, the Deacons scored four straight to take a 10-7 lead they would not relinquish. Wake pushed its margin to eight, 21-13, before NC State managed to cut the deficit in half, 22-18. The Deacs maintained the four-point lead, 24-20, and then doubled up the Wolfpack the rest of the way for the 30-23 win. Mullikin recorded six kills and two blocks in game two, while Jones tallied 11 assists. The Deacons rolled in game three, jumping out to a 10-2 lead and never looking back. Wake Forest took the final seven points of the contest to come away with the 30-9 win. Wake hit .414 as a team in game three, finishing with 14 kills and two errors in 29 attempts. The Deacs had just one other error, a service error, in the contest. The sweep was Wake Forest's ninth straight over NC State. The Deacons have garnered sweeps in 14 of the teams' last 18 meetings. The last time the Wolfpack took a game from the Deacs was in 2002. Wake Forest returns to action on Tuesday at home against ACC leader and No. 13-ranked Duke. The Blue Devils swept the Deacons earlier this season in Durham. Tuesday's match is slated to start at 7 p.m. at Reynolds Gymnasium. |

PARIS (AP) — An armed man who took hostages Tuesday morning at a school complex just south of Paris used a "fake firearm," according to a top official.
All hostages — who included children — were released unhurt and the suspect is now in police custody.
Most hostages were freed fairly quickly, police said, though one parent was held for several hours.
The drama began as parents dropped their children off at the complex, which was being used as a summer camp.
Patrick Dallennes, a top official in the Val-de-Marne region, said: "It wasn't a firearm he used but a fake one with gas cartridges ... without the capacity to kill."
He added: "It's made to scare... but it's not very dangerous. It was a replica and at first it was hard to tell that it was fake."
A police official close to the inquiry, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing police policy, confirmed that the gun was a "self-defense weapon that cannot kill."
The official said police believed that the 31-year-old suspect who lived near the school carried out the act as a sort of "suicide attempt," hoping police would shoot him dead in a stand-off.
Police earlier said that the alleged hostage-taker was incoherent in his talks with the elite Raid police force, but the official said that the suspect was later examined by a doctor while in custody, and his psychological state was deemed stable enough for him to be questioned.
The drama began early in the day as parents dropped their children off at the complex, which includes nursery and elementary schools, in the town of Vitry-sur-Seine, a commuter town with residents from a variety of socio-economic classes. French schools are closed for the summer, but still run activities.
Shortly after releasing the last hostage, the man walked out, said Pierre Dartout, the prefect of the Val-de-Marne region. Teams from the Raid police force had been negotiating with him and took him into custody unhurt.
Little was known about the hostage-taker, but a judicial official said he had no police record. The official also spoke on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
In late June, a man took four employees of a bank hostage in Toulouse. Authorities at the time said he appeared to be mentally ill and ranted disjointedly about religious motives.
Toulouse is the southern French city that was terrorized by a gunman in March whom police say claimed links to al-Qaida and killed three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers. The suspected perpetrator, Mohamed Merah, was killed after a long standoff with the Raid police.
Associated Press writers Masha MacPherson, Milos Krivokapic, Cecile Brisson and Angela Charlton contributed to this report.

In Hollywood, celebrities dress up all the time, and gossip mags are often comparing the relative fashion sense of this actor or that. But in the world of comic books and sci-fi/fantasy, fashion celebrities not only wear spectacular outfits — they also make them.
Airing Tuesdays, Syfy's "Heroes of Cosplay" (originally announced as "Cosworld") dives into the subculture of fans who handcraft costumes based on their favorite characters from sci-fi movies, video games, anime and more. And at conventions around the nation and the world, they walk their creations onstage to win glory and cash prizes.
Filmed in part at MegaCon in Orlando, Fla. — a convention famed for its costuming excellence — "Heroes of Cosplay" follows several cosplay enthusiasts as they put it all on the line in design, manufacture and showmanship.
They include:
Yaya Han – An acknowledged expert in cosplay, the Atlanta-based Han also often serves as a judge at contests.
Riki LeCotey – A native of rural Canada who moved the U.S. to follow her passions, she works as a special effects technician on sci-fi films. In her free time, she founded Cosplay for a Cause, which raised money for victims of the Japanese tsunami.
Monika Lee – Also from Atlanta, the Georgia Institute of Technology student has competed in cosplay since she was 13, earning many accolades.
Victoria Schmidt – The co-founder of the geek fashion-and-style blog settostunning.com, she began cosplay in high school. Among her peak experiences is being Princess Leia on LucasFilm's "Star Wars" float in the 2007 Rose Parade.
Jesse Lagers – A native of Portland, Ore., where he works as a software systems administrator, he hopes his cosplay fame will help him launch a company creating costumes and props. This drives his quest for authenticity and realism in costumes.
Jessica Merizan and Holly Conrad – These theater-trained Southern Californians founded a costume fabrication shop, cosplay community and new-media entertainment company. Conrad is the also the granddaughter of Dorse Lanpher, a special effects animator for Disney and others.

Baker5/30/12 3:20pmFiled to: cougarsPromRantshutterstocktweet94EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThe New York Times and the Huffington Post (and the Daily Mail, for good measure, although the Daily Mail piggybacks onto every fake trend story so they don't count) are all aflutter about high school girls who brought younger boys with them to prom this year. "Call it young cougars, a game of confidence or just female empowerment, but the unthinkable during my high school years is now happening all around me and other mothers of my acquaintance," a mother wrote in the Times after her 17-year-old daughter's decided to take a fifteen-year-old to the event. "Some of these young women are not just taking younger boys to prom, but are also in serious relationships with them," the Huffington Post reports. Golly gee, you don't say! And leave it to the Daily Mail to exclaim that "a new legion of young 'cougars' is emerging."AdvertisementLook, it's derogatory enough to call any woman a cougar, but, to our knowledge (and Urban Dictionary's), these publications aren't even using the term correctly! "Cougar" is supposed to connote a middle-aged women, not just any woman who's dating a younger guy.Also, dating someone a year or two younger is hardly a trend, even on a slow news day. When the Huffington Post explains that "Bringing a date from a lower grade level to prom is a ritual almost as old as the dance itself," they naturally only mean if you're a dude, but that's not the case for most girls I know — especially those who attended smallish high schools, where both genders regularly brought younger dates to prom because there were seriously slim pickins by the time senior year rolled around.AdvertisementLet's let go of the term "cougar" once and for all. And no: leopard, cheetah, or any variation thereof is not an acceptable substitute.Teenage Cougars?

Application Specific Paths for DLL Loading
Configuring workstations to handle shared DLLs is difficult. In many organizations, the PATH environment becomes a point of contention between project teams. Configuring a PATH specific to your application can solve the problems associated with using a common search PATH, and eliminate many configuration errors in your application as well. This article first describes the current methods of application configuration and the problems associated with them. Finally, the specific details of adding an application specific path in the registry are described. The solution is compatible with both NT and '95.
As many of you already know, and as the Visual C++ documentation illustrates, the operating system will use the following algorithm for locating a DLL. (Load Visual C++ help on LoadLibrary()).
- The directory where the executable module for the current process is located.
- The current directory.
- The Windows system directory. The GetSystemDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory.
- The Windows directory. The GetWindowsDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory.
- The directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
Application 1 | Application 2 |
C:\Program Files\ONE\ONE.exe | C:\Program Files\TWO\TWO.exe |
C:\Program Files\Common\COMMON.DLL | C:\Program Files\Common\COMMON.DLL |
There are several ways to configure the machine using the above search algorithm.
1) Put all applications into a single directory
Hmm, one big directory. Sounds great until you need to remove one application, and can't figure out which files to delete. While your at it, why not just make one big .EXE file?
2) Modify the current directory
Faced with the above problems, many programs were configured to be started with the current directory pointing to the DLL. This is easily set in the short-cut which starts the application. While this gives each program control of the DLLs that it loads, it also has several side effects:
- Any documents written will be written to the DLL location.
- File Open dialogs start out in the DLL location.
- Programmatically changing the current directory may cause future DLL loads to fail.
- It's difficult to control current directory if one program invokes another.
3) Put common files into the Windows or System directory
Many applications store DLLs in the Windows or System directory. This creates a maintenance problem, particularly if the system files need to be replaced. Many organizations have begun locking down the Windows and System directories, in an effort to reduce maintenance costs.
4) Modify the PATH environment variable
Certainly the most straight forward approach is to have C:\Program Files\Common added to the path. This was how things were done in the Win 3.1 days. There are several problems:
- If the workstation includes several applications, the PATH becomes incredibly long.
- The order in which directories appear on the path becomes important.
- The system spends a great deal of time searching directories that are never used by the application.
- The program cannot determine which location is used to load a DLL.
- Installation programs require re-boots for the path changes to take effect.
Finally, Application Specific Paths!
Microsoft has offered a solution to all these problems. Each application can now store it own path the registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
The use the application path, set a key for your application, using ONE.EXE from the example above:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...\CurrentVersion\App Paths\ONE.exe
Set the (Default) value to the full path of your executable, for example:
C:\Program Files\ONE\ONE.exe
Add a sub-key named Path, set it's value to the full path of the DLL, for example:
C:\Program Files\Common
With an App Path registry entry, the system will load DLLs in the following order.
- The directories listed in the App Path registry key
- The directory where the executable module for the current process is located.
- The current directory.
- The Windows system directory. The GetSystemDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory.
- The Windows directory. The GetWindowsDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory.
- The directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
Run REGEDIT to see examples of other applications, and how they setup their App Path keys.

Denton: Oladipo Makes 38th Start of Season
By John Denton
March 19, 2014
PHOENIX – A nagging knee injury to veteran Jameer Nelson put Orlando Magic rookie Victor Oladipo in a spot to start Wednesday night against one of the most productive backcourts in the NBA.
Oladipo made his 38th start of the season on Wednesday – and his third start at point guard – because Nelson reinjured a troublesome left knee injury in Tuesday's loss to Golden State.
While Oladipo's adaptation to the point guard position is still very much a work in progress on the offensive end, the Magic have been happy with his play defensively. He came into Wednesday night's game ranked 19th in the NBA and second among NBA rookies in steals with 1.55 per game. He's picked up the defensive rotations well and he's done a solid job of staying in front of his opponent.
``(Defense) is one part of his game that we thought would translate pretty seamlessly his ability to guard multiple positions,'' Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. ``He's done a pretty good job of that. He'll continue to be disciplined throughout the course of (this season) and that's his challenge, whether it's not fouling the shooters, not reaching in at times when he's showing good defensive presence. That's just a part of growing in the league and being disciplined on every play.''
Quite possibly, no backcourt in the NBA could test Oladipo's defensive aptitude more than Phoenix's Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe. With Dragic (20.4 ppg. and 6.0 apg.) and Bledsoe (17.4 ppg. and 5.8 apg.) both having stellar seasons, they are trying to become the first teammates to average at least 18 points and 6 assists since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in 1991-92.
As for Nelson, he said that his knee has been bothering him for some time and he aggravated it again on Tuesday night. Nelson had four points, seven assists and four rebounds in 23 minutes on Tuesday.
``I just have to be smart about it and listen to my body and listen to my training staff,'' Nelson said.
FORMER TEAMMATES NOW COACHING PEERS: Neither Jeff Hornacek nor Vaughn ever talked much about coaching in the NBA during their playing days together with the Utah Jazz. But at the same time, it wasn't necessarily a shock to either of them that the other ultimately became a coach considering their heady nature on the court during their playing days.
Hornacek, 50, played for Utah from 1994-00 at the end of his career. He played alongside of Vaughn, 39, from 1997-2000 under former head coach Jerry Sloan. Vaughn remembers the way that the older Hornacek mentored him early in his career and he said it's easy to see how he's evolved into the leading candidate to win the Coach of the Year award.
``I never knew if he would coach at this league, but I could have seen him coaching his kids,'' Vaughn said with a laugh. ``He coached me as a rookie and a second-year player. He's a very smart guy and he liked being around smart guys like himself. He could challenge you, he was competitive and he could shoot the basketball. He's put his (Suns) guys to have success; he understood the game when we were together in Utah.''
Hornacek said that even though Vaughn spent much of his time in Utah backing up Hall of Famer John Stockton, he was the epitome of the clichéd ``coach on the floor.'' Hornacek said that he always marveled at how Vaughn could relate to every teammate in the locker room.
``Jacque was a smart player. When he came into Utah, he was a point guard who could direct traffic because he saw things that would happen,'' Hornacek said. ``He was a great guy to have on the team. He was a smart player and that's translated to his coaching. His team is young and Jacque has them playing the right way.''
AFFLALO'S INDIFFERENCE: In his quest to constantly improve his game, few players on the Magic study more game video than veteran guard Arron Afflalo. Afflalo will watch footage of himself, of upcoming opponents and of legendary players such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to pick up tips.
But outside of that, Afflalo isn't a huge sports fan and hardly ever keeps up with college or professional sports outside of the Magic. For example, he was asked if he had plans to fill out a bracket in anticipation of the NCAA Tournament and Afflalo grimaced and shook his head. In fact, he had little to no knowledge of the kind of season that his alma mater, UCLA, had during the regular season.
``I'm not a bracket guy and I haven't filled out one,'' Afflalo said chuckling. ``It's sad, but I haven't watched the tournament since I left. I did watch UCLA the following year with Russell (Westbrook) and Kevin (Love) because I had a few teammates on there. But I haven't watched college basketball since.
``I didn't even really know that UCLA was doing well this year,'' said Afflalo of the Pac-12 champion Bruins. ``Supposedly they are doing well this year. I'm always a (UCLA) family member, so to speak. But I just don't catch many of the games.''

Hi Everyone - quick hello from Iceland - just planing my first trip to Africa for later in the year Anyone here from Iceland or indeed more importantly anyone here from Iceland that has hunted in Africa Thanks Stephen
gday Stephen welcome to ah and I hope you enjoy the site Iceland must be a fascinating place to live what do you hunt way up there on top of the world ? im sure you will love hunting in Africa mate, what are your target species?
Hi Bluey as follows Birds - Geese - Puffin - Shag - Ducks - Mammals - Reindeer - Seal - Arctic Fox - Rabbits - the last two are vermin - Rabbits are escaped / released pets which are causing the usual damage. Minkie Whale if you boat is big enough
Hi Bob South Africa for my first trip - what to hunt - problem is I can only get there in Nov / Dec - Pref Nov - that curse of having to have a job to support the hunting - Really just after cull animals - perhaps when I have been properly bitten with Africa I will enjoy trophies however I have never raised a rifle to trophy Stag when back in the UK. To be honest hunting camp meat would be brilliant ! + 1 Baboon. So will see - just got the gun permits sorted here - so next step is to organise hunting
Sounds like fun let me know if you decide to do a trophy hunt at just about cull prices maybe I can hook you up. Please post some pics of your hunts in Iceland we would love to see what its like. I'm about to go to google to see what a Minkie Whale looks like don't know that I've ever seen one. Bob
Welcome to AH. If you have the gun permits worked out, the hard part is completed. Good luck planning.
Thanks unfortunately only the Gun Permits for Iceland being recently arrived - safety exam - doc certification etc etc etc Can fly via Frankfurt therefore easy peasy to Africa ,
Welcome to AH. Do people come from out of the country to hunt in Iceland? Are there hunting outfitters or do you have to have a friend like you to hunt with?
Glad they have decided to let you play with firearms in Iceland. There is a thread here on how to get those Frankfurt Permits within the new processes for us non EU folks. Pretty straight forward. Check through some of the offers listed here and contact some of those folks. There are some good outfitters to choose from.
do you mean that you can actually shoot a seal in Iceland , im on my way ... in Australia its up to 250.000 dollar fine and weve got em coming out of our ears mate . at any time during the day or night if l look out the over the side l will see a dozen or more furbags just swimming along beside the boat . and when I start the winches that number will double and by the time the net surfaces it will double again .any fish or part of poking through a mesh will be torn to pieces beforr I can land the cod end . this happens every dsay im at see . the numbers are way out of control so do think you could send us some of your government law makers
Yes they do the same here that is why they allow them to be shot though you can shoot them on land as well if you cannot be bothered to get in a boat ! Have not shot one yet however on the list - Two of them are currently sharing my new jacket
Hi Wheels they do usually Russians and Europeans for the goose hunting - however you can come here and shoot a reindeer - you have to get a tag - they run a system similar to the USA however you have a PH with you included in the cost of the Tag - Birds in general just go shoot - lots of "public " land though I have personally perhaps 4000 ha to shoot over just via farmers and friends and I have only started sorting land for hunting on. will PM you in a couple of days with some outfitters here though I have no idea what they charge or indeed nor can I rate their quality - but so far from the few hunters I have spoken with who use them I have heard nothing but good
Hello Odinsraven, I have wanted to visit Iceland since seeing it on TV during the "Fisher vs Spassky" days. It seems to be a beautiful country. In visiting it would be a shame not to get any hunting in though. (maybe a goose or two) Don't worry about looking up outfitters for me just yet.(I appreciate your offer though) There are a number of hunts I want to take first. Maybe in a few years. I like your moniker. I always thought Odin had two ravens though. Glad to have you on AH and happy hunting in RSA!

Basically, it's about as long as a regular two-door coupe on sale today, but it's a good bit narrower, and much lower even at its highest point.Take a look at the R18 in the pits and how small it is compared to the mechanics working on the car.Moreover, most cars are shaped like boxes. Most of their dimensions is taken up by, well, the car itself. The Audi R18 and the other LMP1 cars cut out just about everything but the little turret where the driver sits and the fenders covering the wheels. The rest of the car is pancaked down into as little space as possible.AdvertisementThese LMP1 racers are even smaller than their small dimensions suggest.For some reason Audi hasn't published any pictures of their R18 next to any other car, but it is identical in dimensions to its corporate cousin, the Porsche 919. Porsche put out these pictures comparing the 919 to their new 911 racecar.Don't worry about the perspective here — the 911 just about dwarfs the prototype 919.Below you can see the real difference in height. Much of what makes these LMP1 cars as tall as they are is just the roof scoop air intake. The height of the cockpit's roof is even lower.You can imagine how much a regular sedan would tower over a 2014 LMP1 car at your local hardware store, let alone how a current SUV would lord over it. You couldn't fit a 2014 LMP1 car in the back of an F-350, but you might be tempted.AdvertisementAdvertisementPlease do not try and put any LMP1 cars in the back of any pickups. Audi would get mad at me.Photo Credits: Audi, PorscheReply118 repliesLeave a reply

• Idaho continues toward elimination of EPA suction dredging regulations On March 13, the Idaho House State Affairs Committee held another hearing on whether or not to eliminate Environmental Protection Agency authority in the state. Following the hearing, which included the testimony of numerous suction gold dredge miners, no opposing testimony and 76 supporters who signed their names in support, the committee passed House Bill 473. The bill declares EPA authority would be "null and void and of no force and effect in this state." The bill now heads to the full Idaho House of Representatives for debate and a possible vote. • EPA makes preemptive strike against Alaska mine The EPA announced they have initiated a Clean Water Act review process in an attempt to prevent the Pebble Limited Partnership from developing the Pebble Project, a mining project valued in the billions of dollars in southern Alaska. The EPA is taking this step even though no Plan of Operations has been submitted. • Proposed Mines Act permit fees The British Columbia (Canada) Ministry of Energy and Mines is proposing charging Mines Act permit fees for all mines in the province. The proposed fees are as follows: $2,000 for small-scale placer and mineral/coal exploration disturbing less than 1 hectare $4,000 for medium-scale placer and mineral/coal exploration disturbing less than 3 hectares $6,000 for large-scale placer and mineral/coal exploration disturbing 3 hectares or more $4,000 for sand and gravel operations $5,000 for custom mills $6,000 for rock and industrial mineral quarries $40,000 for all operations requiring a review under Section 9 of the Mines Act $300,000 for large-scale major mines, expansions, and permit amendments $100,000 for major mines, expansions and permit amendments $10,000 for minor permit amendments to major mines Unfortunately, the notice from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines states that comments would only be accepted through March 31, 2014—leaving little or no time to notify ICMJ readers. However, we posted this information to our website at www.icmj.com on March 16 in an effort to notify those miners who might wish to send in comments.
