A line from National Lampoon's Animal House came to my mind first thing:
"You can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up... you trusted us!"
I mean really - how could this guy possibly have expected them do drop something as useful* as a DNA fingerprint?
* useful in this context means "everyone is a suspect which makes my job easier as a cop"
I think what the parent is actually saying, in slightly more diplomatic terms is "if everyone has their DNA on file, then I don't have to get off my fat donut eating arse cheeks and do any actual detective work, I can just click a few buttons and send someone directly to jail - or two people with identical DNA, who really cares"
He could have spotted the lie just as soon as they promised him the samples would be removed. Almost everybody on
On the bright side there is an increasing consensus that DNA evidence is a lot less useful than CSI: would have us believe.
It makes sense, really - it takes quite a while and a fairly large sample to sequence someone's genome with proper error checking, so the crime labs generally don't bother. Instead, they focus on a few areas of chromosomes called loci, and pick sections of non-coding DNA called short tandem repeats. US labs will normally look at 13 loci, UK labs 10. Many experts have testified in a court of law, under oath, that a match of nine loci is 'tantamount to unique identification'.
Studies have been done on small sections of some DNA databases, comparing every profile with every other profile, and found this to simply be false. In Arizona 65 493 profiles were made available - 122 pairs matched at nine loci, 20 at ten, 1 at eleven and 1 more at twelve. In Illinois 220 000 were checked, and 903 pairs matched at nine or more loci, and in Maryland 30 000 were checked, providing 32 matching pairs.
Add to this the problem that eyelashes, skin fragments etc can be carried on the wind, or from a random frottage, and we have some important cases being 'solved' with what amounts to deeply circumstantial evidence. With any luck this fascination with DNA being used as the be all and end all, the assayer of truth, will end as soon as possible.
PS: most of that informative stuff about loci and short tandem repeats was pretty much lifted from New Scientist #2742, dated 9 January 2010. IANAGeneticist, and would feel a small pang of guilt without adding this disclaimer.
On the not so bright side, this won't stop the police from turning your life upside down if you happen to be unlucky enough to match someone else in their database - and I speculate that much of what you describe is not terribly well known to the lay person, which would mean that without a hell of a good alibi it could still be enough to get you convicted.
On the bright side there is an increasing consensus that DNA evidence is a lot less useful than CSI: would have us believe.
No, that isn't the bright side, and you misunderstand the meaning of "useful" as far as DNA databasing is concerned. As long as the jury believes all that CSI stuff, DNA evidence is just as useful as everyone thinks for getting a conviction, getting the case closed, and making the police's detection statistics look good. The DNA evidence might not be so useful for getting the right person convicted, but that doesn't appear in anybody's performance indicators so that doesn't matter to anybody. Except to the poor sucker put away for a crime they didn't commit, but they're a convict now and nobody cares what they think.

You say all this as if the police walk into a crime scene having absolutely no clue who the perpetrator could possibly be, taking some DNA samples, running it through the computer, then arresting the resultant match and passing it on to the courts. In reality the list of suspects is going to be considerably narrowed by old-fashioned police work: finding witnesses, finding out the victim's history, looking for motive, etc.
In other words, fat lot of good it's going to do you to claim, "But there's a 0.1% chance that DNA isn't mine!" when you've been spotted leaving the crime scene by a witness, were seen having an argument with the victim a couple days prior, he owed you money, etc. Not to mention that if you go to find those other, say, 30 DNA matches, you find out that 21 of them live hundreds of miles away, 3 of them are in nursing homes, 1 is a kid, 2 are already in prison and have been for years...
taking some DNA samples, running it through the computer, then arresting the resultant match and passing it on to the courts.
Yet that's the ONLY reason for such a database to exist.
Police are allowed to participate in a ruse to gain the trust of a suspect.
Make no mistake. You were a suspect in a murder case, until cleared. In a police investigation, everyone is a potential suspect. As such, be careful what you volunteer, because until proven otherwise, you are a suspect and can be lied to.
Make no mistake. You were a suspect in a murder case, until cleared.
I was? Who did I allegedly kill?
That was exactly the kind of thing I thought!
Unfortunately the police, with the help of politicians, have thrown away any respect I may have once had for them. If the police came to my house, doing door to door enquiries, then I would not talk to them at all, and I most definitely would not invite them into my home.
The police have become servants of themselves, through the target systems that exist to gauge their performance. They do not respect the communities they police any more, and I think most police would actually laugh at you if you told them they are pubic servants.
At this point, if you are nasty fucking pig or a pig apologist, you set the box below to troll, overrated, offtopic, flamebait, or redundant.
and I think most police would actually laugh at you if you told them they are pubic servants.
I think everyone would laugh at you if you told them that
Sorry, it's just the state hookers who are the pubic servants![1]
Whilst joking, here's a good 'un:
Why do the police always go round in groups of 3?
One to read anything that could be useful, one to write down anything that could be useful, and one to keep an eye on the two dangerous subversives!
[1] Idea for software, probably patentable, but I am going to release it here into the public domain: spell checkers should flag words that are spelt correctly, but that could still be a typo of another valid word. Ma
Just replace "don't talk to the police" [youtube.com] with "don't provide DNA/etc voluntarily to the police." You don't gain anything by talking to the police nor providing genetic evidence without a proper warrant. Different reasons same good advice.
Something bugs me whenever someone brings up "don't talk to the police" as a general rule. (Before I go on, let me say that I'm a libertarian and, while I find that the majority of police officers are good and honorable people, no police force is worthy of blind trust and it is every citizen's duty to keep governmental power to a pragmatic minimum.) The OP said that he volunteered the DNA during a murder investigation. Perhaps the victim was someone close to him, and he had an interest in helping the investigation along as much as possible, perhaps even by volunteering evidence so as to eliminate himself as a suspect so the police could move on sooner. How does one balance an altruistic need to volunteer information to the police against the general "don't talk to the police" principle of avoiding self-incrimination?
It doesn't really matter whether the majority of police officers are "good and honorable people" (which is probably doubtful anyway since it's a profession that attracts bullies disproportionately). What does matter is that it's their job to get you. That's right, they're out to get you. Any law professor will tell you that they are allowed to lie to you at any time, and do a couple of other things to you, just to catch you for something, preferably for the crime they're investigating. They have no incentive whatsoever to make sure they get the right guy, their only job is to get someone convicted.
Take for example this case. A guy was found stabbed in a cupboard. They had no clue who might have done it. Finally, it was decided that he actually stabbed himself and then put himself in a cupboard. You have to wonder, why did the police go around collecting DNA samples in the first place if there was no foreign DNA on the crime scene to begin with. Clearly, either DNA was collected from random people in the hope of getting them convicted for any other crime, or the final conclusion that the guy stabbed himself is another lie to make their crime solving statistics look good after months of fruitless investigation.
By the way, while the individual likelihood of being misidentified through your DNA markers as a match for one given piece of evidence is very small, your chance "matching" some completely random piece of evidence among the millions they got lying around is actually getting higher with increasing database size. So if your DNA is on file, and is routinely compared to every new piece of evidence that comes in, an individual's chance of being framed by the birthday paradox is higher than one might think.
It doesn't matter for a different reason: if the majority are decent and honest, why do they close ranks and defend the corrupt minority? They're not being part of the solution, they're part of the problem.
He may have been naive when he did that, but if UK police force is not up to his expectations with that regard, the blame is still with the police, and that's where things should be fixed.
If you don't trust policemen in your country, same logic applies. Why do you give guns (and the discretion to use lethal force) to people who aren't trusted with much more mundane things?
They still have a lot more power over you than a typical citizens, guns or not.
By the way, the fact that NZ policement don't carry guns normally doesn't mean that they cannot, in general. Then, of course, there are the "non-lethal" Tasers, and the good old fashioned batons.
Also, is it really much better if they can only use crippling (and only accidentally lethal) force against you?
I would think you would have more to fear from your barber and a possible black market in DNA traces, for investigative misdirection. Who else might become suspect, doctors, are hospitals removing all samples or are they being put on file as well. Even public transport might be considered an unsafe DNA dispersal risk location.
If you're not in the database then you won't need to fear a planted sample either. Not being in the database reduces your risk both from false positive and from planted sample
And possibly also a number, just in case they need to call you back if they have to move your appointment for whatever reason.
So you need to at least give first name.
Then make them happy. Tell them you're Tony Blair.
Well, presumably the police having your DNA *on file* increases the likelihood that you'll be hauled in by them for other things, should there be a spurious match (say). And regardless, if they're keeping personal information they promised not to keep then that's a serious moral issue regardless of the practical consequences - can people trust the police at their word? Should they?
Its funny. Im a Brit living abroad in a former soviet Country for the last two years, and the more I see the more I realise how big our illusion of freedom is in the UK.
We have more Security Cameras than anyone. Our government wants to record every website, email and text number used. We are profiled beyond compare.. Even our internet private is monitored..
You have more chance of being free elsewhere.
Watch and learn [youtube.com].
This doesn't apply in the UK. If you don't tell the police a mitigating piece of evidence you cannot use it in court later.
Our American readers need to know that the UK does not have the same Miranda rights as in the US, when you are being arrested.
Specifically, a number of years ago the warnings were changed. Note the difference carefully, and see if you can see how clamming up until a lawyer gets there, might be directly harmful to your freedom.
"You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evi
However (and I speak as a recent ex-policeman from the UK), the key is "MAY harm your defence". If you can give good reason in court as to why you didn't disclose it ("I needed to speak to my solicitor first", "I didn't want my wife to find out about my affair", "I was being threatened by the bad guy") the court will take this into account and allow the evidence (or at least give due consideration to your reasoning). I will not automatically exclude the evidence (note the full stop and the word may). Of course this won't apply where you don't have a good reason (i.e. it was to cover your tracks) or if someone is harmed or a further crime committted (you don't give the info giving your acomplice time to kill the hostage and bury the body).
This doesn't apply in the UK.
Yes, it does. Even in the UK, you have the right to remain silent.
Yes, it does. Even in the UK, you have the right to remain silent.
But unlike in the US it is not a defense and is normally interpreted by officers as an admittance of guilt. Not mentioning something is just as dangerous as mentioning something in court, unless you've got an alibi if you don't mention something at the moment it'll be disregarded later, basically if you don't say you were somewhere they'll decide where you were and unless you've got an alibi in court your where THEY decide.
In my dealings
But unlike in the US it is not a defense and is normally interpreted by officers as an admittance of guilt.
In any country, the cops are going to arrest you if they feel like it, and they'll invent any pretext they care to. Your right to remain silent isn't a way to protect yourself from the arrest, it's a way to protect yourself from a conviction in court. You can not help yourself by volunteering information to the police.
That is not the case. The wording of the caution is that if you do not mention anything when questioned that you later use in your defence, that may prejudice your defence.
That is to say: a prosecuting barrister is, these days, within their rights to sneer and imply to the jury that what you've said in that regard was clearly made up after the fact.
You said: Ignore the advice in this video. It is accurate for the US legal system, not the UK legal system.
and then you said: when asked state politely but firmly that you can not answer any questions regarding your arrest or enter an interview room until you have spoken to a professional legal representative.
Which is exactly the same advice given in the video I linked to. The key point is that you can not benefit from volunteering information to the police.
Seriously, do not ever again help the police. Sure, follow their instructions when within the law. But helping the police does not help YOU at all and might seriously endanger yourself. If the samples were contaminated or mixed up, you could have found yourself in jail.
Watch the presentations by Professor James Duane of Stanford University:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=NL&v=i8z7NC5sgik [youtube.com]
The tragic part is that the policy have expanded their powers so much that not answering any questions is the safer course.
That is a laughably simplistic question.
It would be much more like:
LEO: "Have you seen this little girl?"
You: "No".
LEO: "Where were you around this and that time?"
You: "Alone, here in the house."
LEO: "Can anybody confirm that?"
Do you see what I mean? What looks like a simple question, could actually turn into an unpleasant conversation of which your lawyer would tell you to stop explaining yourself.
It's a good question. There are several ways of looking at it. For example:
The "missing little Girl" is your daughter. The Police are knocking on your neighbour's doors. You now have to face the fact that some of your neighbours might be finding it hard to offer the Police complete support - at least partly because the Police have previously acted in ways which reduced the public's confidence in the Police.
How do you feel ? Who do you blame ?
I would much prefer to live in a society where "Policing by Consen
It's a good question. There are several ways of looking at it/p>
There's still another way of looking at it. You don't have to talk to the police to be helpful. You could instead just help your neighbors directly.
If you talk to the police without consul, during an investigation you have waived your rights and demonstrated to the police that you are an idiot, not honest or friendly. They are not your friends. The do not have to tell you the truth. When asked to waive my rights by an officer of the law I respectfully tell them that I am unable to waive them without the advice of an attorney. That pisses them off and they usually start threatening warrants and other harassment.
"With respect for your position sir, I respectfully decline any more communication without an attorney present, and understand you have a job to do, please proceed with what you have to do. Am I under arrest or are you detaining me? If so please provide consul. If not have a nice day!"
If you talk to the police without consul, during an investigation you have waived your rights and demonstrated to the police that you are an idiot, not honest or friendly.
Bullshit. You just make it harder for them to do their job. Sure there are cops who are crooks, or just jerks, but if you presume that they all are then you are no better than your make-believe stereotypical policeman. Have a think about which dark corner of society would benefit if everyone starts being hostile towards the police.
We had a policeman knock on our door a while back. There was a grassfire a few km down the road and a car vaguely fitting the description of our car parked in our driveway was seen leaving the scene. By the time he knocked on our door I assumed he had already put his hand on the bonnet etc to see if had been driven recently, and he even told us that our car didn't really match the description after all. We chatted for a while and he left. If i'd had behaved like a prick like you suggest what would it have gained me?
I can only begin to guess at what a horrible job it must be most of the time. You'd see the worst of people every day. You'd have to knock on doors at 3am and tell parents that they have one less living child. Every time you pull someone over you know that there is a slim chance that someone's going to pull a shotgun on you. And if you make it hard for them to do their job then the only people left doing the job are the ones who don't take your sort of shit lightly.
Hopefully if you ever need the assistance of the police, you won't run into one that you've pissed off along the way.
Bullshit. You just make it harder for them to do their job.
The only time the police have an easy job is in a police state.
If you're not a criminal, victim or witness then you have no reason to talk to the police about a crime, and if you are a criminal then you have no reason to talk to the police without a lawyer. So there are very, very few cases where talking to the police is actually beneficial, and many where it's going to get you in a world of hurt... even police themselves will admit that.
Remember, these are the people who recently shot an innocent guy in the head eight times for 'suspicion of looking a bit muslim' and walked away with no consequences. Britain is rapidly approaching a police state if it isn't already there, which is precisely why I left a couple of years ago.
You've got a couple of weird points and I'd like to reply since you normally have very good posts.
I can only begin to guess at what a horrible job it must be most of the time.
Well, they like their job. What a strange thing to assume they hate their job, and you feel like offering them some relief of their horrible job.
And if you make it hard for them to do their job then the only people left doing the job are the ones who don't take your sort of shit lightly.
Are you sure you're making it harder? He already touched the hood. He still wants to talk to you for some reason you don't know. What is your reason for talking to the officer?
He already touched the hood. He still wants to talk to you for some reason you don't know.
EXACTLY my thoughts. Either the cop was fishing or he was time-wasting. That story really does nothing to bolster his argument. It's like saying, "I walked by a snake once and it didn't bite me, so clearly there is no need to worry about snake bites."
I think that some judgement is necessary. The UK police are driven entirely by targets (rather than the interest of the community) which means that they are desperate for arrests. If you are arrested for something then being a reasonable person, 'helping them out', 'making it easier for yourself' etc. (e.g. answering questions or making statements in the absence of legal counsel) is a way of them shoring up their case against you without some pesky lawyer stopping you from incriminating yourself.
Have a think about which dark corner of society would benefit if everyone starts being hostile towards the police.
I didn't say to be hostile. Be extra, extra polite but don't waive your rights. Don't answer questions, don't authorize searches, don't listen to their threats, ask if you are under arrest or are being detained.
Respond with "Good day Officer" or "Officer unfortunately I am unable to assist you further without my counsel, thank you for understanding."
"Hopefully if you ever need the assistance of the police, you won't run into one that you've pissed off along the way."
You make it sound like they are doing this out of some sor
Unfortunately the Police are under no obligation to remove the DNA from the database until your 100th birthday I've read through the regulations they work under. In the appendix there are form letters for the chief constable to tell you that your dna can not be removed, there is no example of a letter saying it can.
In the UK the police retain records of everyone even if you have never been arrested or charged with anything it is enough to be associated with someone with a criminal record for this to be recorded on your record. I believe they refer to these as non arrestable offenses. I say your record but its the polices record of you. Over time the Police are not forced to share what they have on you with other agencies but everything is kept on record for their use and they do have the option of clearing your record once you reach the age of 100.
Of course your Dna will not only identify you but close matches may suggest a brother or a son or other close relative may be worth investigating. There is no political will from either of the main parties to curb the current legislation they have both contributed to it. So you either live with it or leave and hope that there is no worldwide database created in your lifetime.
Rule number one where ever you are don't get involved with the Police if you can possibly avoid it.

The second link spells it out for you using big letters and crayon, yes you are on record and for all practical meanings of for the rest of your life.
The European Court of Human Rights
In December 2008, in the case of S. and Marper v. the UK, the Grand Chamber of European Court of Human Rights reached a unanimous judgment that the blanket retention of innocent people's DNA and fingerprints by the UK Government contravenes Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the right to privacy).
At the time of writing, the Government has yet to implement a response to the judgment. Its initial proposals to retain DNA records from innocent people for 6 or 12 years, depending on the offence for which they were arrested, were widely criticised. They have been replaced with an alternative 6 year retention time for innocent adults (3 years for under-16s), in the Crime and Security Bill 2009/10. However, both opposition parties regard these proposals as unacceptable.. The Government has also made a welcome proposal to destroy the original DNA samples (biological samples), which are currently stored by the commercial laboratories which analyse them, and which contain unlimited genetic information which is not needed for identification purposes.
I guess that this judgment may change things but currently there is no change and it will remain that way until compelled to change. note the opposition fighting against the change it can be viewed as because the proposals are still draconian or more cynically to block any change in the current status quo.
Unless legislation does go through and so far it hasn't then any plea to the chief constable to get the dna record removed due to exceptional circumstances will fall on deaf ears because after all being innocent of any crime is hardly exceptional in that database.
the police, the government, the powers that be in the UK have proven themselves time and time again to be completely untrustworthy.
Equally unfortunate is the British propensity to grit their teeth and bear it, (because they love to complain about something) rather than do something constructive to change their situation while they still can.
How the hell could it "help with a murder investigation" to provide them with a sample of your DNA?
Presuming you are innocent, you are simply opening yourself up to a false positive match, either now or in sometime in the future.
You have everything to lose, and nothing whatsoever to gain.
In the case of a degraded DNA sample, it's possible to have the statical odds of you being a match for a sample in the range of 100,000 to 1. That doesn't seem so bad unless you consider that there might be 1,000,000 records on file. Statistically that's 10 database hits, and if you are the lucky one cold hit, combined with the apparent belief that juries find scientific evidence infallible, you could easily be convicted. It *has* happened before that the only evidence that links a suspect to a crime is a cold database hit.
Just don't give them a sample without a court order, ever.
How the hell could it "help with a murder investigation" to provide them with a sample of your DNA?
If it happened in your home and your DNA is contaminating the crime scene. They have multiple samples of DNA and would like to eliminate some. I wouldn't want to trust the police with my DNA either, but if my wife was murdered in our bed (while I had an airtight alibi), it'd be a hard problem but I'd want a lawyer first.
I don't believe the blame can be (entirely) placed on the Labour Government, I did not trust the police before Labour came to power. There are numerous examples of the police abusing their powers under previous governments.
This [wikipedia.org] is what killed my trust in the English police: an old-Etonian Earl and ITN (Britain's independent TV news agency) condemning the disproportionate actions of the police against women and children.
I don't trust New Labour to prevent atrocities like this, but this particular one took place under the Conservatives. And it wasn't [wikipedia.org] an isolated incident.
Back on topic, I believe "UK police" here really means "English and Welsh police": I *believe* one of the few things the Scottish "polis" get right is that th
Pity - Monty Python would have had a field day with this.
In 2008 I invited two policemen into my home and voluntarily gave them a DNA and fingerprint sample to help with a murder investigation, as they'd promised it would only be used for that investigation. I was never under any suspicion...
Of course you were under suspicion - they just didn't have enough evidence to get a warrant to force you to give up your DNA so they bamboozled you into doing it voluntarily. Of course they kept it on file, they were suspicous enough of you to request a DNA sample thus you are under permanent suspicion for the rest of your life and probably a ways beyond.
What you did was the equivalent of getting pulled over by a cop and when he looks in your car window and doesn't see anything to justify a search , instead of letting you go on your way, he asks you if he can go ahead and search your car anyway and you said yes.
C'mon, this is the UK police we're talking about: nowadays they're driven by targets that come from the politicians and directly influence their bonuses and career prospects.
Targets have been set by the highest level of government to collect and keep as many DNA samples as possible for the DNA Database, so Bonuses and Promotions are at stake here. They don't give a damn about the citizens they are supposed to serve except as means to reach their targets, so they would tell you whatever you wanted to hear to get another point on their DNA samples target.
Count yourself lucky though: people's lifes have been ruined when they got "Cautions" (an admission of guilt, which requires no court involvement and goes into the Criminal Record) for being drunken and rowdy or for (lightly) discipling their own kids.
I've lived in 3 European countries by now and this is the only one where I don't trust the police (which is kinda sad since I'm from Portugal, a country where people look up to the UK as a better place)
Not that I blame the lowly copper: at the core of the current rot are the power hungry politicians and money driven high-level officers.
I guess that people are getting what they deserve around here: the British electorate keeps voting on the same two sets of visibly lying, deceitfull, sleazy and two-faced politicians (or not voting at all) - these guys are so exceptionally untrustworthy (at least compared with Dutch and Portuguese politicians) that they are caught cheating and lying so often it's not fun anymore.
TFA: "Me:
And he wonders why the police want to keep tabs on him?
The headline is incorrect: it's not UK police, it's English Police who hold onto DNA. DNA samples, and profiles, are routinely destroyed at the end of the relevant enquiry in Scotland, which is a quite distinct legal jurisdiction from England.

Bill of Lading
Bill of Lading :
Bill of Adventure
- law
A written certificate used if goods are shipped under the name of a merchant, shipmaster or shipowner. It certi¬fies that the property and risk in the goods belong to a per¬son other than the shipper and that the shipper is accountable to that other person for only the proceeds.
Bill of Credit
- law
A written statement, commonly used by business travelers, given by one individual or legal entity to another, to authorize the recipient to receive or collect money from a foreign correspondent, such as a bank in the recipient's country - letter of credit
Bill of Exchange
- banking
An unconditional order in writing, signed by a per¬son (drawer) such as a buyer, and addressed to another person (drawee), typically a bank, ordering the drawee to pay a stated sum of money to yet another person (payee), often a seller, on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time. The most common versions of a bill of exchange are.....
wherein the drawer instructs the drawee to pay a certain amount to a named person, usually in payment for the transfer of goods or services.
Sight Drafts
are payable when presented.
Time Drafts
(also called usance drafts) are payable at a future fixed (specific) date or determinable (30, 60, 90 days etc.) date. Time drafts are used as a financing tool (as with Documents against Acceptance, D/A terms) to give the buyer time to pay for his purchase.
Promissory Note
wherein the issuer promises to pay a certain amount.
Bill of Health
– general
A certificate issued by port or customs authori¬ties attesting to the health of the crew and passengers of a vessel or airplane upon arrival or departure from the port.
Clean Bill of Health
is issued by authorities when no contagious disease(s) has been found.
Suspected Bill of Health
is issued when no conta¬gious disease(s) has been found, but authorities fear that one may develop.

Bill of Lading
- shipping
A document issued by a carrier to a shipper, signed by the captain, agent or owner of a vessel, furnishing written evidence regarding receipt of the goods (cargo), the condi¬tions on which transportation is made (contract of carriage) and the engagement to deliver goods at the prescribed port of destination to the lawful holder of the bill of lading.
A bill of lading is therefore both a receipt for merchan¬dise and a contract to deliver it as freight. There are a number of different types of bills of lading.

Analysis of Attitude towards Online and Print Publications: A Case Study among University Students
Users enjoy and like both online and print news papers. But it is believed that it is necessary to adopt various modern techniques so as to identify the interests of the young college going population. Factors influencing attitude towards usage of print and online publication have been studied by several researchers. In this modern age, people are provided with a wide range of traditional and digital channels. Currently online news sites have greatly satisfied the expectations of the readers, and there has been a decrease in the circulation of print news papers. This study examines the consumer choice of print and online media with respect to demographics and preference of format. The study adopted a primary quantitative data collection approach wherein a paper based survey of 150 college post graduate students was carried out. Overall these results, acknowledged that the print edition has been the prevailing choice when compared to the print edition in terms of readership and preference and generates more profit to the advertising field.

Hey Guys,
I know there are a lot of threads out there like this, but I'm having a hard time deciding between the claytor diamond tarp and the Hennesy hex(I'd be getting the cheaper polyester hex).
I don't camp in the winter, so I honestly don't think I need a super heavy duty tarp, but I've been using a walmart blue tarp, so anything I get is probably going to be lighter than what I"m used to. They're both about the same price, so i'm honestly not sure which one would be "better".
What's your guys opinion?

Fiber Optics Installed
Pages: 1
We were having verizon come out to hook up that fiber optic stuff?hubby thinks it?ll be better than the dsl we have now. So being the good little housewife, I am sitting home waiting for the guy to show up. They give you a window of 5 hours?so I had to find some way to entertain myself while waiting for this guy. I opted for playing on cam on the internet. So as time went by and I weeded thru many idiots, I finally found a good friend I had played with before. He was always incredible with the things he said to me, getting me wet before I ever touched myself. So we were playing, talking, & my toys were out, when I heard a knock on the front door. Of course, the guy would come now. I went to the door, answered it, and let this (unexpectedly) hot guy in. He was in a uniform of sorts, white shirt, izod type, with the verizon emblem on his chest, and the fabric of the shirt stretched over his chest muscles, showing a pierced nipple, which peaked my interest even further. I led him downstairs where the phone hook up was, and asked if he needed me there?he said no, so I told him I?d be upstairs if he needed anything to just call. I then went back to the computer to resume playing. I was in the throes of a rockin orgasm, toy n pussy, legs spread and propped up on the desk, back arched, nipples exposed, and squirting all over the place, when I heard a noise. I turned my head sharply and saw the verizon guy standing there, watching me. I was like a deer in the headlights?not knowing what to do, so I just stared him down. It became a battle of wills?staring at each other, when he broke eye contact, and kind of shuffled his feet, looking down at his shoes. He apologized, and said he didn?t know, the door was open so he just came up. While he was trying to explain, I lowered my legs, and covered my bare breasts. I told him it was fine, and asked what he needed. As I looked at him, I couldn?t help but notice this huge bulge in his tight khakis. He saw what I was looking at and blushed a little. I asked him, how long he was standing there, and his face got really red. I knew then he must?ve been standing there almost the entire time I was masturbating. I looked up at him, and smiled?then decided, what the hell, I?m gonna enjoy this, and asked him if he enjoyed watching. He kind of stuttered a little, then said he did. I figured it might be more fun to perform in person than on cam so I asked him to sit on the extra chair beside the desk. He did as I asked, and continued watching me, as I pulled my breasts back out, and hiked my skirt back up where I had it, showing him a still wet, glistening, pussy. I was feeling pretty smug right about then, as I played with my nipples and fingered myself, watching him get more and more uncomfortable in his tight pants, as I got closer to cumming. I thought, I?ll just finish this, cum once really hard, and then make him get back to work?I?m in control here. As I came, and my body was shaking, juices squirting all over the chair, I had my eyes closed, and wasn?t watching him. I wasn?t aware of anything except my orgasm, until I felt a feathery light touch on my pussy lips. My eyes flew open, and he was on his knees between my thighs, lapping up all that wetness still on me, licking first gently, then sucking on the lips, and my clit. With this happening on the heels of an orgasm, it immediately started building toward another. I knew in my brain I should stop this, but when he inserted a finger, I lost all control, when he inserted two, I lost the ability to think. I was bucking against his face, grabbing his head and smashing it into me, moaning loudly, when he wrapped his arms around my thighs holding me in place, and continued his heavenly assault on my throbbing pussy. All rational thought left me, all I could do was ride this wave of pleasure. He continued fingering me, and licking, and sucking til I came again, then blew softly on me, trying to cool me down. This only excited me more. I slid off the chair to my knees facing him, and looked him directly in the eyes before taking his sexy goateed face in my hands and kissing him. He responded by sucking my bottom lip and I almost fell backward. His arms held me close as I reeled. When he stopped kissing me, I was a bit dazed, but I knew what I wanted?that huge cock in my mouth, NOW. I stood up and pulled him up with me, and began unfastening his pants. He made an audible sigh when I released his cock from the tight confines it had been held in. I went back to my knees, pulling his pants down with one hand, and massaging his cock with the other, until I had them around his ankles. I then got to take a good look at this beautiful cock for the first time, and couldn?t wait another second to get it in my mouth. I began sucking him like I was starved for him, deep throating his shaft, licking the length of it, down to his balls, licking and gently sucking each of them, and back up the silky length again. His legs were beginning to shake as he moaned softly while I kept sucking as if my life depended on it. Suddenly he leaned back, freeing his cock from my mouth, and pulled me up by my arms. He kissed me again, one of those knee buckling kisses, kicked off his pants, and began to walk me back ward toward my bed. We kept kissing as we made our way, and only stopped as he pushed me onto the bed. My skirt was around my waist, my shirt was laying open, exposing my nipples, which just now seemed to get his attention. He leaned down and gently rubbed one with the pad of his thumb, causing it to get rock hard, then he did the same to the other one. He apparently liked how responsive they were and began sucking them in earnest, first one then the other, causing me to get wet all over again. He trailed kisses down the front of me, then rolled me over, and lifted my shirt to keep his burning trail of kisses going?from the small of my back up to my neck. I was so caught up in this, I didn?t even realize he had removed my shirt. He then pulled me to my knees, and reached between my thighs, lightly trailing his fingers back and forth over my slit, causing me to moan, and push against his fingers?.wanting nothing more than them deep inside me. He seemed to know what I was thinking, and plunged two fingers deep inside me, moving them around, til he felt what he sought. He hit that spot and I began to gush those warm juices all over his hand. He let me calm down for all of 10 seconds before he thrust his long, hard cock inside me. All the way to the balls, then stopped, grabbed my hips, and pulled out to the head, before slamming back into me. He repeated this hard, ball-slapping fucking until I thought I was going to explode. The room was spinning, my senses on overload, the world as I knew it right then stopped, when he shot a huge load of his hot cum deep inside me. I swear I felt this to the very core of my being. We stayed perfectly still, save for our heavy, labored breathing for a few minutes when he pulled back, removing his still hot, and oh so wet, cock from me. This left me feeling an emptiness I wasn?t aware you could feel. He stood up, pulled me up to him, and kissed me softly, then asked if he could come back tomorrow, since he never did get the fiber optics installed completely. I couldn?t, in my right mind, say no..so I just nodded. He got dressed, kissed me again, then began to walk down the stairs, when he turned around, flashed a devilish grin, and said, ?by the way, Deb, I?m Kevin. See you tomorrow.?

The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) latest Pacific Economic Monitor has trimmed the 2013 economic growth forecast for the Pacific region to 5.0% on the back of lower-than-expected government capital spending in Timor-Leste, slower gold production in Solomon Islands, and lower growth prospects in Kiribati and Nauru.
ADB's previous regional growth forecast for 2013 was 5.2%, following an expansion of 7.6% in 2012.
"The slight downgrade in the growth forecast reflects largely short-term challenges faced by a few Pacific economies," said Xianbin Yao, Director General of ADB's Pacific Department. "Despite the slight slowdown, a brighter outlook for the global economy is expected to spill over and likely raise the Pacific region's growth to 5.5% in 2014."
The first quarter of 2013 has seen the region's exports to Australia, a key market, hit by lower international commodity prices. The value of exports fell by over 27% year-on-year, with gold and petroleum exports from Papua New Guinea (PNG) down by 32% over the same period. Pacific exports to New Zealand also fell by over 17% in the quarter.
In PNG―the largest developing economy in the Pacific―persistently lower prices for its commodity exports could make it difficult for the government to continue the stimulus measures it has adopted to counter the adverse impact of a slowdown in construction as the liquefied natural gas pipeline work is completed. This poses a downside risk to ADB's unchanged 2013 growth forecast for the country.
Lower international oil prices and a decrease in government spending are also weighing on the near-term growth prospects of Timor-Leste, another major resource exporter in the region.
There are signs that Fiji's economy may be picking up as government infrastructure development moves ahead, and consumption and investment show signs of improving. However, ADB is holding its growth forecast steady at 2.0%, pending new data.
Infrastructure damage from Cyclone Evan in December 2012 weighed on tourism early in 2013, with visitors to Fiji and Samoa declining. There have been recent signs of a recovery, however, and other tourism destinations in the Pacific are also seeing improvements, with a rise in Australian visitors to Vanuatu and robust tourism growth in the Cook Islands.
The latest Pacific Economic Monitor includes four articles exploring the Pacific's changing external economic ties. One article discusses the emergence of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the People's Republic of China, and India as increasingly important trading partners for South Pacific economies. A second article provides a new trade cost indicator for Pacific economies and compares it to other existing indicators. A contribution from the East-West Center of the University of Hawai'i considers the prospects of North Pacific economies upon conclusion of their compacts of free association with the US and highlights the need to reduce aid dependency in these countries. A contribution from the Crawford School of Public Policy examines the Caribbean's experiences with regional cooperation and integration for possible lessons for the Pacific.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The welcome sound of a baseball hitting a catcher's glove was particularly loud when Andrew Miller took the mound on Thursday morning.
Teammates glanced over, surprised to see somebody throwing with such force in an unofficial workout nine days before pitchers and catchers officially report for spring training. Miller threw one of his final pitches so hard that the ball sailed over the head of catcher Dan Butler and may have bruised the chain-link fence behind him.
Miller walked off the mound with a smile showing through his bushy beard.
"Guess I'm feeling pretty good," he said.
It took seven months to get there. Miller broke a bone in his left foot July 6 in Anaheim, Calif., when he came off the mound to back up a play at the plate. One innocuous movement ended his season.
The fracture required surgery and left the 28-year-old Miller a spectator as the Red Sox went on to win the World Series. When his teammates spilled out of the dugout to celebrate series-clinching victories, Miller was the tall, lonesome figure hobbling after them.
"I didn't have much choice, but it was tough not to be able to compete," Miller said. "But I feel great now. Everything is fine."
Miller arrived here on Monday and has no throwing restrictions. He has tested his foot with agility drills and some running and felt no pain.
"The last thing I really need to do is field my position again," he said. "There will be plenty of chances to do that [in spring training]. I'm confident everything will fine."
Miller was enjoying the best season of his career prior to the injury. In 37 appearances, he struck out 48 over 30⅔ innings, walked 17, and allowed only 25 hits. Miller was unexpectedly more effective against righthanded batters than lefthanders but established himself as a viable late-inning reliever.
His loss led to the Red Sox calling up rookie Drake Britton then trading for Matt Thornton. Eventually, Craig Breslow emerged as the team's primary lefthander out of the bullpen. With Miller back, the Red Sox have enviable depth.
The only other concern for Miller is his salary for the coming season. Miller filed for arbitration at $2.15 million with the Red Sox countering at $1.55 million. The sides have yet to reach an agreement and have a hearing scheduled for Feb. 18.
Miller does not believe a hearing will be needed.
"Compared to most of the others, we're not that far apart," he said.
The Red Sox have traditionally avoided arbitration. Their last hearing was in 2002, when they triumphed against righthander Rolando Arrojo.
The Red Sox will use Breslow and closer Koji Uehara cautiously in spring training after their extra work in October. That could give Miller the opportunity to pitch late in games and hone his rusty skills.
"It's fun to be pitching again," he said. "This is one spring training I was really looking forward to."
Two of the practice fields behind JetBlue Park were loaded with players on Thursday and the bullpen was busy.
More than a dozen players on the spring training roster are already in camp. Along with Miller, the group included Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Jon Lester, Will Middlebrooks, and Daniel Nava.
Bradley arrived in late December just after his honeymoon. Bogaerts will wear No. 2 this season after being issued No. 72 last season. New outfielder Grady Sizemore was given No. 38.
Blake Swihart, a 21-year-old catching prospect, is in camp along with Butler, Alex Hassan, Rubby De La Rosa, and Alex Wilson.
Wilson threw in the bullpen, but not at full force. He had surgery on Oct. 26 in Cleveland to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb and was cleared to throw two weeks ago.
The surgery included the removal of a small bone and insertion of a screw to stabilize the ligament. Wilson dealt with the injury all of last season, finally succumbing to the disabled list in July.Peter Abraham can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @PeteAbe.

Was an attack last April on an electric power station near San Jose, Calif., the work of vandals or something far more dangerous — domestic terrorism or a trial run by an individual or organization bent on damaging the nation's electric grid?
The Wall Street Journal, picking up from an earlier report by Foreign Policy magazine, explores that question Wednesday in a long account about what happened at PG&E Corp.'s Metcalf transmission substation — an event that has received relatively little attention until now.
The top of the Journal's story grabs your attention:
"The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables.
"Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night.
"To avoid a blackout, electric-grid officials rerouted power around the site and asked power plants in Silicon Valley to produce more electricity. But it took utility workers 27 days to make repairs and bring the substation back to life."
According to Foreign Policy, which was less definitive about whether the attack was the work of more than one person, at least 100 rounds were fired from at least one high-powered rifle.
No one has been arrested in connection with the attack.
An FBI spokesman, without going into details, tells the Journal that the agency does not believe a terrorist organization was responsible.
But, as Foreign Policy reported, a former PG&E vice president for transmission operations said at a conference last November that "these were not amateurs taking potshots."
"My personal view is that this was a dress rehearsal" for future attacks, added Mark Johnson, the former PG&E executive, according to Foreign Policy.
The Journal quotes Jon Wellinghoff — chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time of the attack — as saying it was "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" in the U.S.
Whether it was or wasn't an act of terrorism, the Journal says that "as word of the attack spread through the utility industry, some companies moved swiftly to review their security efforts. 'We're looking at things differently now,' said Michele Campanella, an FBI veteran who is director of security for Consolidated Edison Inc. in New York. For example, she said, Con Ed changed the angles of some of its 1,200 security cameras 'so we don't have any blind spots.' "
AT&T has offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the damage done to its cables near the substation.
Meanwhile, there's another mysterious detail to report. According to the San Jose Mercury News, about 3:00 one morning a month after the attack, "a man dressed in all black was spotted ... in a field next to the property, setting off a large search by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. ... Sheriff's deputies searched the area but did not locate the man."
Later today, All Things Considered hopes to speak with Journal reporter Rebecca Smith. We'll add the audio from that conversation after it is broadcast. Click here to find an NPR station that broadcasts or streams the show.
Update at 1:50 p.m. ET: Attackers Appeared To Know What They Were Doing:
The attack "seems to have been the work of people who knew what they were doing," the Journal's Rebecca Smith just told NPR's Audie Cornish. The evidence, Smith said, indicates that the sniper or snipers "methodically" shot at equipment that would disable the substation if damaged — but also would not explode. Then, "one minute before police arrived, they faded into the night."
Regarding the FBI's view about who's responsible, "we don't know why the FBI feels it was not a terrorist attack," she added.
As we said earlier, the conversation with Smith is due on today's broadcast of All Things Considered.
California power provider PG&E described it as an act of vandals in a press release. But the incident, detailed in today's Wall Street Journal, sounds far worse than simple vandalism. In April of last year, in the middle of the night, sniper fire erupted outside a Northern California substation. Seventeen transformers were disabled, transformers that carry power to Silicon Valley. Residents were none the wiser because power was rerouted. But the attackers escaped and no one has been arrested.
It wasn't until months later that news began to slip out in energy industry briefings and congressional hearings, like this one with California Congressman Henry Waxman.
REP. HENRY WAXMAN: And my understating is that this was a sophisticated attack, using military-style weapons. And real damage was done and the consequences could have been far worse.
CORNISH: The Wall Street Journal reports today that the incident has raised real concerns about the vulnerability of the nation's power grid. And reporter Rebecca Smith joins us now. Welcome to the program.
REBECCA SMITH: Thank you.
CORNISH: So what more can you tell us about how this attack unfolded? From the details you include in your reporting, it doesn't necessarily sound like it was an amateur operation.
SMITH: No, it seems to have been the work of people who knew what they were doing. They used sharpshooter-like precision to hit certain pieces of electrical equipment inside the substation. They very methodically shot more than a hundred rounds into pieces of equipment in a certain way that showed that they had some knowledge of what the consequence would be.
In other words, if a person just went in and began randomly shooting up the substation, the result would be massive explosions and fires. In this case, they targeted equipment that they knew could be disabled without causing fires or explosions. It took them nearly 20 minutes, and one minute before police arrived, they faded into the night.
CORNISH: Now, the FBI is investigating this incident and they've said it was not a terrorist attack. What is known about who was behind this?
SMITH: We don't know who was behind it and we don't know why the FBI feels that it was not a terrorist attack. I mean, I think that until they have suspects in custody and are able to question them about the motivation, it's hard to know why this attack was launched.
CORNISH: Now, in your story, you talk with the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, John Wellinghoff. He's made this physical security of the grid something of a cause. Talk a little bit about his concerns.
SMITH: Well, Mr. Wellinghoff has chaired a federal agency - it's not very well known to most people - called the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. And it is responsible for the bulk power system in the United States, in other words, the big movement of electricity on transmission lines. He already felt that we were not doing enough to protect the electric grid and then this attack happened, which really alarmed him.
So in the subsequent months, he tried to get traction on this issue, going around to various high levels of different federal agencies to try to get someone to act on it. And he decided, after leaving Washington and after concluding that nothing had happened, that he needed to speak out about this incident.
CORNISH: At the same time, in this case, there was no blackout. PG&E rerouted power. How vulnerable is the grid really to physical attacks like this? It seems like there wasn't much consequence here.
SMITH: In this case, they hit one substation, but they did it at a time of year when there isn't much demand for electricity. It happened, after all, in the middle of the night in April. So had this attack happened on a summer afternoon, the situation might have been very different. There might actually have been a blackout. This is just one little substation.
The problem is that if someone in an orchestrated effort were to hit multiple more important substations, the result could be widespread blackouts and no one seems to really disagree with this. So there's a basic vulnerability.
CORNISH: Rebecca Smith, is part of the reason this hasn't been getting very much attention because the industry has been quite focused on cyber attacks?
SMITH: I think that's part of it. Certainly the industry's been very worried about cyber attacks and millions and millions of dollars has been spent. In addition, we have federal standards now for cyber security. We have nothing equivalent on the physical side. I think the Metcalf substation attack is really a wakeup call that says, hey, maybe we need to pay more attention to physical security and maybe we need to have federal standards.
In order to get this, though, we would need to give a federal agency authority to create these standards and we don't even have that right now. We're not talking about protections that are needed for every substation in America - that would be thousands. We're talking about a couple dozen, three dozen, four dozen, a very small number, and it's certainly within our ability to create these protections and to do it now.
CORNISH: Rebecca Smith, she's a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. Thank you so much for speaking with us.
SMITH: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Spring is here and when cows begin grazing the lush spring growth, grass tetany, also called grass staggers, wheat pasture poisoning and hypomagnesia can start showing up. Grass tetany is a nutritional disorder resulting from inadequate blood levels of magnesium. Conditions which increase the risk of grass tetany are lush green forage, prolonged cloudy weather, older cows in early lactation that are heavy milkers and soils that are low in magnesium and calcium and high in nitrogen and available potassium. The older cows in early lactation are more prone to grass tetany, since cattle become less efficient at mobilizing body stores of magnesium as they mature.
Further complicating the situation, cattle have a limited ability to store magnesium in the body, since magnesium is rapidly excreted through milk, urine and feces. Clinical signs usually begin with incoordination, salivation, nervousness, staggering, convulsions and death
Prevention is the best treatment; providing supplemental magnesium after the development of a problem will usually not correct the problem. To prevent grass tetany, dry cows should consume 10 grams of magnesium per day, while cows nursing calves should consume 20-25 grams of magnesium daily.
To provide this level in the body, a commercial mineral mix containing at least 10 percent magnesium is recommended. High Magnesium mineral programs should be included in your cowherd management program beginning in late March or early April as the lush spring forage growth starts. So acceptable levels will be achieved in the body to prevent problems later in spring.
For producers who want to mix their own High Magnesium Mineral: a mixture of 30% magnesium oxide, 30% trace mineralized salt, 30% dicalcium phosphate and 10% dried molasses fed free choice will achieve the recommended levels of magnesium. Incorporating legumes into pastures or feeding hay that contains red clover or alfalfa will also help minimize grass tetany problems, sinces legumes contain about twice as much magnesium as grasses.

Sometimes people write compound sentences which have two statements in one sentence.
For example I like you and you like me. I would like you to write a function called
BREAK_COMP that will accept a sentence and if the the sentence is a compound sentence
return a list containing a list for each statement. If the sentence is not a compound sentence
return a list of the sentence within a list.
You can assume the following:
1. AND is the only word that can create compound sentences.
2. Any time that AND is used it is a compound sentence.
3. A compound sentence can only have 1 AND in it.
If I type in (BREAK_COMP '(I like you))it will output ((I LIKE YOU))
You cannot use any String class functions like myString.substring(x, y).
Any help would be appreciated.

The Jewish Community Center of Bayonne's Indoor Soccer Junior Division soared into action as the Knights and Wizards squared off in their 2013 season opener. The Knights bolted out to a 2-0 lead as Steven Pereira nailed two goals off assists from Joyce Gabrael and Christopher Ballance. While the Knights' offense lit up the scoreboard, Andrew Sprague, Harsh Easwar, Giovanni Russo, and Da'mien Taylor played rock-solid defense in the early going.
Taking the court for the first time, no one was sure how the Wizards would react to their less than impressive start but the Wizards answered all those questions in the final 15 minutes. The first big step in righting the ship was to insert Michael Egan in at goaltender with the iron-willed Matt Miceli standing guard at the sweeper position. The second step was the teaming of T.J. Wolf, Danny Reyes, and Nate Cintron to fuel the offensive ranks.
In a matter of minutes, the Wizards' Danny Reyes and T.J. Wolf knotted the bout at 2-all as Wolf assisted Reyes on goal number one, followed by Wolf blasting a penalty shot. Both teams battled down the stretch but in the end, the Wizards fought back for a 3-2 victory as T.J. Wolf nailed his second goal with just 20 seconds remaining.

To preface this review, I aim in addition to relate it's history to the casual viewer and put in context the climate to which this film was received. After the success of John Carpenter's "Halloween" followed by Sean S. Cunningham's "Friday the 13th", there was a huge increase in holiday based slasher films based on their profitability. In the 1980's, this trend in horror gave rise to one of the most infamous horror films of all time: "Silent Night, Deadly Night". (more…)

This fun new Christmas musical from Sheila Wilson tells the traditional Biblical Nativity story, while mixing in vocabulary and jokes that children (and maybe their IT specialists) will enjoy. A 'satnav' system, mobile phones and an internet connection would really have helped our cast, but never mind – there's a special star in the sky, a stable in reserve, and the Wise Men have already got their gifts. The message of the Nativity remains one of peace and hope, and joy in abundance! This book contains the music for the Piano, Vocals, Guitar (chord symbols), optional instruments and solos. For Key Stages 1 and 2.

Yankees fall to Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings
- Article by: DAVID GINSBURG
- Associated Press
- May 21, 2013 - 10:31 PM
BALTIMORE - The New York Yankees got a solid performance from starter Phil Hughes, Travis Hafner drove in a pair of runs and the bullpen permitted only three hits over the final four innings.
Throw in the fact that New York scored first, and the formula seemed perfect for a victory.
Not this time.
Nate McLouth led off the bottom of the 10th with a home run off Vidal Nuno, and the Baltimore Orioles snapped a six-game skid with a 3-2 victory Tuesday night.
Former Yankee Chris Dickerson hit two solo homers and Baltimore pitchers retired 21 of the final 22 New York batters.
"I think our guys swung the bats well," said Vernon Wells, who doubled in a run. "The numbers just didn't show up for us."
New York led 1-0 in the first inning but lost for the first time when scoring first. The Yankees came in with a 19-0 record in that situation.
"We have to do a better job of adding on when we do score runs early," Wells said.
McLouth hit a 1-1 pitch from Nuno (1-1) into the bleachers in right-center to give the Orioles their first win since May 12.
"It was supposed to be a cutter away," the left-hander said. "It felt a little bit off and he took advantage of it. One pitch and it cost us the game. Got to forget about it and get ready to pitch tomorrow."
Wells said of Nuno: "I think if you ask him he'd love to be in that situation. I think everybody does. You make a mistake and that's what hitters are supposed to do, make you pay for those mistakes. And he did."
Jim Johnson (2-4), who blew three save opportunities during the six-game skid, got three straight outs in the 10th. He wasn't as much interested in personal gratification as helping his team get a victory.
"It was good to get out there," he said, "but nothing that happened today was about me."
It was more about Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez, who pitched seven solid innings, and Dickerson, who connected off Hughes in the third and fifth innings — the first two-homer game of his career.
Hughes allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. Coming off a horrid start against Seattle in which the right-hander yielded seven runs and got only two outs, Hughes kept the Orioles in check — except for Dickerson.
"He's a good fastball hitter. I got into situations where I had to throw him a fastball," Hughes said. "Two pitches right over the plate a little bit, and he did what he's trying to do. Overall, though, I felt like it was pretty good."
Gonzalez gave up two runs and five hits over seven innings, striking out five and walking none. The right-hander came off the disabled list before the game following an 18-day absence with a blister on his right thumb.
"Gonzalez threw a great game," Wells said. "He was effective."
New York got a first-inning run when Brett Gardner doubled and scored on a two-out single by Hafner. Dickerson tied it with a drive to right-center on a 3-2 pitch.
The Yankees quickly moved back in front. Wells led off the fourth with a double and Hafner followed with an RBI single.
Dickerson's second homer of the game, leading off the fifth, made it 2-all.
Gonzalez retired 11 straight batters before David Adams singled with two outs in the seventh. Lance Nix followed with a liner that right fielder Nick Markakis snagged with a dive.
NOTES: RHP Hiroki Kuroda will start for New York on Wednesday night in the finale of the three-game series. The Orioles will start Jason Hammel, who is 0-2 with a 7.79 ERA in three home starts. ... Yankees manager Joe Girardi said SS Derek Jeter (left ankle) "is not really doing anything yet" and LHP Andy Pettitte (strained trapezius muscle) has not starting throwing. ... Orioles C Matt Wieters turned 27 on Tuesday. ... To clear a roster spot for Gonzalez, the Orioles optioned RHP Jair Jurrjens to Triple-A Norfolk. Jurrjens started one game for Baltimore, receiving a no-decision Saturday against Tampa Bay.
