A Maryland man says he's discovered lost photos of President Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession in New York City in 1865.
The Washington Post reports that Paul Taylor, a retired federal government accountant, found the photos believed to show Lincoln's catafalque moving past Grace Episcopal Church on Broadway on an Archives Flickr photo-sharing website.
"I was just struck by the scene," Taylor told the newspaper. "That is not your normal scene in front of church. There's just people everywhere: the streets, the sidewalks, the roof. They're in the trees. This is not your normal Sunday."
The series of photos by famed Civil War photographer Mathew Brady show a crowd waiting for, and then apparently to be paying homage before, a horse-drawn hearse. The photos were taken April 24 or 25, 1865, just days after Lincoln's assassination, The Post reported.
The photos appear to have been taken from an upper window of Brady's studio, which was across the street from the church. Taylor said he matched the church in the photographs to Grace Episcopal and e-mailed his findings to the Archives on March 3.
"I'm looking at it, and that was it," he told The Post. "I had it."
Experts at the Archives told the newspaper that while Taylor's theory sounds good, there may be other explanations and there is no way to prove it decisively.
"It's a big deal," said Richard Sloan, an expert on the Lincoln funeral ceremonies. "What makes it even a bigger deal is to be able to study the people. Even though you can't see faces that well, just studying the people tells a story."
A half-million people lined the procession route in New York, which was part of a two-week funeral tour that included stops in over a dozen major cities.

Desert Storm fighter pilot Russell Handy, an Edgewood native back inthe United States less than a week, spent much of his day Friday going to school -- four times, to be exact.
Handy wanted to thank hisHarford County pen pals -- most of whom he'd never met before -- forwriting to him regularly during his seven months in the Persian Gulf.
"I really feel like people who wrote letters fought the war with us," Handy said, explaining why he visited the schools so soon after returning to his post at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

CBS Chief Speaks Out on Charlie Sheen
"I have a high level of concern," says CBS chief Nina Tassler. "How could we not?"
Earlier this week, CBS and Warner Bros. TV quietly let the media know they're concerned about Charlie Sheen's off-screen antics, leaking out the story that they've tried to shut down Two and a Half Men so Sheen could get help. Today, their discomfort went public as CBS chief Nina Tassler publicly admitted she's worried about the matter. "I have a high level of concern. How could we not? The man is a father; he has a family," Tassler said during a session with journalists at the Eye's portion of the semiannual TV Critics Association press tour. But Tassler also indicated she didn't have the power to simply order Sheen to shape up. "You can't look at it simplistically. Charlie is a professional," she said. "He comes to work. He does his job very well ... On a personal level, I'm very concerned. On a professional level ... the show's a hit." Producer Warner Bros. is technically Sheen's employer (not CBS), and Tassler said she has "tremendous faith" in how the studio is "managing this." No response yet from Sheen's camp.

The meltdown in the Chernobyl reactor probably began with a fire in the huge graphite blocks widely used in Soviet reactors but avoided in the United States as safety hazards, American nuclear experts believe.
The Chernobyl meltdown appears to have been significantly different from the one seven years ago at the Three Mile Island reactor outside Harrisburg, Pa., according to Robert Jefferson, a consultant to the U.S. nuclear industry. At Three Mile Island, a loss of coolant caused uranium fuel rods to overheat and melt. But at Chernobyl, graphite probably ignited, said Jefferson, who recently retired from the Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque.

Being someone who spent their formative years firmly entrenched in 80's culture, I spend a great amount of time watching music videos and movies about break-dancing. This led me to believe, for most of my early and teen years, that I could overcome any obstacle simply by luring it onto a dance floor. This led to several unfortunate knocks to my self confidence later on in life. I have now learned that there is not one damn thing that I can defeat by dancing, unless it is someone else's lack of something hilariously unfortunate at which to laugh. Spinning on my head will not convince the land developer not to destroy the teen center. And there is absolutely no way, and I mean no way, that you can defend a lady's honor by moonwalking. I really wish that last one would have been made part of my sixth grade curriculum. That would have saved a lot of blood loss.
There is no real point to today's post. I am busy dealing with post vacation blues along with a litany of other issues. None of these problems can be dealt with by dancing either…unless drinking is involved, but I think that in that case the drinking would be more beneficial than the actual dancing. Oh well, back to work. I got a major project on my desk that I'm going to try firing a few well placed groin thrusts and a "running man" at before I give up and just put a spreadsheet together. Real life sucks.

When you fly to Toronto, only Porter lands you in the heart of all the action. This top tourist destination is famous for its diversity, arts, culture, international dining and a mixture of historical and modern architecture.
The modern façade of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) gives way to halls and galleries filled with historical artifacts and art throughout the centuries. The ROM houses a wide variety of art and natural history collections as well as world-touring temporary collections.
Kids will love the replica indoor bat cave, diggable dinosaur fossils and other hands-on history exhibits. The ROM's paintings and decorative arts from Asia, Europe, and the Americas entice art lovers of all ages.
Just a short ride north of downtown Toronto, you'll feel like royalty roaming the halls, courtyard, and gardens of Casa Loma. This early 20th-century castle is a kingdom within itself with 98 rooms, decorated suites, and underground tunnels. Casa Loma also acts as an event space with starlit summer Toronto Concert Orchestra performances in the castle's Glass Pavilion.
Another essential landmark takes you even closer to the stars. On a clear day from the lookouts at Toronto's iconic CN Tower, you can see all the way to Niagara Falls. The view isn't the only thing that will keep you entertained. The CN Tower also includes the revolving 360 Restaurant. Enjoy seasonal fine dining and an award-winning wine selection from 1,151feet above the city.
Make sure you don't spend your entire stay indoors. Torontonians know how to do summer, and the city heats up with countless cultural festivals, food festivals, and a steadily growing collection of weekend-long music festivals covering every genre.
For great weekend getaways, Toronto's best blue flag beaches are just a short ferry ride away. Soak up some sun at The Toronto Islands with 5 km of bike paths, an amusement park, tons of swimming spots, and picnic areas all across the islands. It's an easy day trip and a perfect place for spotting incredible views of the skyline.
That world famous Canadian friendliness keeps the city warm in the winter months. There's no shortage of things to do and see, whatever the weather. Embrace the holiday spirit at the Distillery District's holiday market.

Toronto's Distillery District is home to the largest and best-preserved Victorian industrial architecture in North America. Centred on the Gooderham and Worts Distillery (established in 1832), which was the largest distillery in the world in its prime, the area expanded to include venues for arts, culture, food, and entertainment in the early 2000s.
Today, this pedestrian-only district is a prime spot for some of the city's best patios. Whether you're in search of a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends, the Distillery District delivers. International cuisine, chocolate makers, wine bars, oyster bars, brewpubs, and speciality coffee shops are scattered throughout the area.
With Victorian buildings, cobblestone streets, and contemporary sculptures spread throughout the area, the Distillery District remains a perfect example of Toronto's balance of both historical and modern. This district is packed with tons of performing arts theatres, art retailers, and galleries.
Case Goods Warehouse is a must-visit space and essential to the preservation of the area's beautiful architecture. It's part of a not-for-profit organization, the Artscape Project, which works to restore and protect historical sites around Toronto. Case Goods Warehouse highlights the importance of these historical buildings by using them as art spaces which encourage visitors to explore and interact with the spaces.
For an even more adventurous way to explore this area, try a lantern-lit haunted walk through the district. With its long history, The Distillery District is said to be one of Toronto's most haunted neighbourhoods.
The annual holiday market transforms this already gorgeous historical district into a winter wonderland. Bright lights hang over patios and cobblestone sidewalks while a towering evergreen tree illuminates the centre square. The whole family will love the holiday market's sweet and toasty treats, handmade goods, and horse-drawn carriages.

The Spider Ship Proteus Spotted in New York
The strange, spider-legged catamaran called Proteus just came to New York after visiting San Francisco earlier this year.
Here's something new about Proteus I didn't know before:
The spindly catamaran is so efficient that it can travel 5,000 miles — farther than across the Atlantic — on one load of diesel fuel.

It's not that hard to imagine you could find a port to refuel at in the atlantic is it andrew?
Of course it can travel across the atlantic on one load of fuel. Is it supposed to refuel half way there?
It is very efficient compared to fuel consumption of a sea-going vessel.
Yeah, not so impressive when you learn that a "Tank" is 2,000 gallons of diesel. That's only 2.5 miles per gallon.

A part-time football coach currently jailed on charges of allegedly molesting two brothers has been accused of molesting four more victims, prosecutors announced today.
Leon Watson, 24, is awaiting arraignment on new charges of rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, false imprisonment, and other charges for allegedlymolesting three more children and one mentally disabled adult.
Watson, of the 2400 block of West Diamond Street, was arrested on Nov. 10 after authorities received a tip about his alleged activities.
At that time, two brothers, aged 8 and 9, whom Watson had reportedly developed a relationship with, had recently moved to the home, prosecutors said.
Watson was re-arrested Monday night on charges of molesting three more minor boys who played football for Watson's neighborhood team, the "Little Vicks," as well as an "intellectually disabled adult male."
Prosecutors say these three boys also frequently slept over at Watson's house, where he sexually assaulted them.
Watson was a part-time football coach for the Rhawnhurst Raiders from August to October of this year, in addition to coaching the "Little Vicks."
The DA's office think there may be more victims and is encouraging parents or children who played with the Rhawnhurst Raiders or Little Vicks to come forward and call 911 or contact the Special Victim's Unit at 215-685-3251.

Fall Clean-Up of Your Pumpkin Patch
The best time to replenish your garden soil, is in the fall. The biggest difference between amending your soil in the Fall vs. Spring, is you can add raw and un-decomposed materials in the fall. Over the long winter, these materials break down and mix into your soil, ready to feed new plants in the spring.
As soon as you've harvested your pumpkins, add ample amounts of leaves, compost and raw manure. Use whatever manure you can get your hands on: cow, horse, chicken. Work these supplements into your garden soil. A tiller works best, to mix materials into the soil. You can usually work materials deeper into the soil, with a shovel. By spring planting time these nutrient rich materials will have de-composed, and are ready to feed your hungry young pumpkin plants.
It is very important to check your soil pH.The ideal pumpkin plant soil pH range is 5.5 - 7.5. Over time, it may need to be adjusted. More on soil pH.

In East Sandwich, a town in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Titcomb's Bookshop and Momo's Food Emporium are cleverly teaming up to start a "Food & Book" series. As the Cape Cod Times reports:
The first gathering is Jan. 25. Momo's Food Emporium on Route 6A in East Sandwich will cook recipes from Richard Morais' debut novel, "The Hundred-Foot Journey" (Scribner Book Company, $15). The book, rich in detail and well-researched anecdotes, is about a boy from India with lowly beginnings who ends up taking on some of France's greatest chefs.
"We're going to mimic the opening night meal described in the book," says Neila Neary, owner of Momo's.
The evening will feature passed hors d'oeuvres. Neary says attendees will have a chance to socialize, collect recipes and learn a bit about how spices are used in Indian cooking. Momo's four chefs will also prepare Indian dishes to sell in the specialty shop's takeout case.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Dr. Robert Agrella, retired president of Santa Rosa Junior College, will assume new powers in an effort to rescue the 85,000-student City College of San Francisco from losing its accreditation, according to an announcement from the California Community College's Chancellor's Office.
Dr. Agrella received a special appointment to the community college's board of trustees last October, a move spearheaded by the California Board of Governors. His appointment, which followed a decades-long career leading the Santa Rosa Junior College District, was among the efforts to address 14 areas that the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges said required rapid turnaround to retain accreditation.
The college only addressed two of those 14 concerns, according to the commission, spurring the decision to end its accreditation on July 14 of next year.
Yet that action is not yet final, with the college still having the opportunity to request additional review and appeal a subsequent decision. The chancellor announced that Dr. Agrella will have new powers to control operations at the college, with the hope of correcting those issues before July of next year.
"As chancellor of the largest system of higher education in the nation, I cannot sit by and allow this institution, which serves 85,000 students, to close. After consulting with San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, I have determined that the best course of action to try to rescue City College is to appoint a special trustee with extraordinary powers to help right the institution and position it for long term success," said Chancellor Brice Harris, in an announcement.

SSIS Madness
SSIS can be the wild west. Each developer doing things their own way. Errors are often overlooked and then when one happens no one knows why or how to fix it. Logging is often not sufficiently enabled. This causes maintenance headaches (especially with Excel, but that is a rabbit trail which dives steeply into the lowest reaches of Hell itself!). What I am going to present with this post is how to log, compile and disseminate error information and not have your package just fail with no idea why.
Create Function GetErrors(@ExecutionID varchar(50))Returns varchar(8000) AsBegin Declare @Result varchar(8000) Select @Result = Coalesce(@Result, '') + '>>' + message + Char(10) + Char(13) From sysdtslog90 Where event = 'OnError' And executionid = @ExecutionID Order By id Return @resultEnd
Public Sub Main() Dim Result As String = "System Variables:" & vbCrLf For Each Item As Variable In Dts.Variables If Item.Name <> "ErrorMessageText" Then If Not Item.Value Is Nothing Then Result &= Item.Name & " = " & Item.Value.ToString() & vbCrLf Else Result &= Item.Name & " = Nothing" & vbCrLf End If End If Next Result &= vbCrLf & "Error Mesages:" & vbCrLf & _ Dts.Variables("ErrorMessageText").Value.ToString() Dts.Variables("ErrorMessageText").Value = Result Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.SuccessEnd Sub

I apologize for the long pause in posting. I have been extremely busy with my Masters program. I took my finals on Monday for this semester, so I finally have some free time!! I've prepared a wrap-up to the Performance Framework series. It describes some sample testing sets that should get you thinking about how to go about tweaking performance and picking the best method to use to accomplish a goal.

The opportunities afforded to students at St. Thomas Law include unique internships and externships. The Pax Romana internship at the United Nations is one such opportunity. This full-time, single semester assignment provides law students with placements at national missions to the United Nations in New York.
Third-year law student Anastasia Latman spent the summer in New York for what she described as the experience of a lifetime.
Anastasia was assigned to the Permanent Mission of Honduras in the role of advisor. She attended meetings and compiled analytical reports on what she observed. The first official meeting that she attended centered around small arms trafficking and its affect on South American countries. She also covered issues such as disabilities and women's rights.
She emphasized how her perspective of global concerns changed during her time at the UN. "I had the opportunity to listen to and understand the concerns and views of other nations and it became clear to me that I was living in a bubble," stated Anastasia. "It was really an eye-opening experience with international relations, legal issues and human rights issues."
Upon graduation from St. Thomas Law, Anastasia plans to become a prosecutor and said that the internship paved the way in helping her understand the major human rights violations that are happening globally, and how the international community is trying to solve these issues through the law. She came out with an enhanced understanding of international laws and legal systems and was able to formulate ideas as to how she can work on these legal issues locally and hopefully someday make a difference on an international level.
This fall, Anastasia will return to the UN during the General Assembly at the invitation of the Permanent Mission of Honduras. Additionally, two St. Thomas Law students will be assigned to the Holy See in New York with the likelihood of meeting the Pope himself.

So what do we believe?
A detailed answer to this question is always tricky, because of the breadth of the Christian Church and Christian theology. Neither are we helped when ecumenical projects such as this are sometimes accused of 'dumbing down' to some lowest common denominator. Sometimes, in order to achieve the unity which is Christ's call and command we have to accept and live with an element of difference between us.
Having said that, there are certain core beliefs that are integral to the Christian faith.
We believe in the one true and living God – the God of Abraham – who is revealed to us and known to us in the three Persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; who is eternal and everlasting; the beginning and end of all things.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." [Revelation 22:13]
We believe that the universe, our world and we are created by God and that God is - and always has been - active in His creation.
Oh! And to get a debate going, we believe that science has not disproved the existence of God but has merely shown us ever more of the wonder of God's ongoing creativity over billions of years; from the majesty and perfect balance of the cosmos to the wonderful intricacy of our human DNA.
We believe that God has revealed himself to his creation in the life and work of his Son, Jesus Christ; who is, in the words of John's Gospel, "the Word made flesh;" and, as Jesus himself once said to his followers when he was asked to 'show them the father': "I and the Father are one... Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."
We believe in the reality of sin in our world; that the human tendancy toward selfishness and greed has despoiled the beauty of God's creation and that as sin entered the world, the relationship between God and humankind – creator and creation – was broken.
Although the first century Jewish understanding of sin and sacrifice is sometimes hard for us to comprehend fully, we also believe that, as Jesus died on the cross, his death was sacrificial; that he took the punishment for all human sin, for all time; so that humankind might be reconciled to God; made "at one" with God.
This is the heart of Christian doctrine of Atonement.
In the words of John the Baptist "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world". [John 1:29]
We believe in the presence and the power of God the Holy Spirit – at work in the world from the beginning of time; bringing the church to birth at Pentecost; and still at work in the world today, inspiring and empowering the work and witness of the whole Church.
We believe that the Bible, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, are God's written word to us; that in them the truth of God is revealed; that God has spoken and still speaks through them; and that they remain authoritative and trustworthy in matters of human life and conduct.
"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." [2 Timothy 3:16]
We believe in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ in the first Easter, as the first in a much greater resurrection that leads to the promise of eternal life and the fulfilment of God's kingdom.
"If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised then our preaching is in vain and our faith is futile". [1 Corinthians 15:13 – 14]
There are many other things that could be said about Christian belief and doctrine; but, as ever, they are open to debate and discussion; and space prevents us continuing here.
But we do look forward to opportunities to meet up with people from a wide spectrum of Christian faith - and from other faiths - and to have those discussions and to grow in faith and respect for one another. To borrow words from the Apostle Paul; "growing and building one another up in love." [Ephesians 4: 16].

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I thought the best way to start is by using this thread.
I'm a student of political sciences in germany...
I wrote these about 8 years ago. I want to create a new set based on creating new industries that
are very low risk, like electric car...
I look forward to our discussions. I have many questions to ask and views to consider.
I just signed up. I'm looking to forward to stimulating discussions.
Kind Regards,
My name is Michael, and I'm actually going to university for political science, so I'm all for debating and such. Politically I guess I'd consider...

Acquisition Covered by NPR Radio, ReadyMade, Collector's Weekly, Print magazine, WNYC Radio, Printeresting, Treehugger.com, Others
Posted 03.11.11 by MICA communications
It's amazing to me the interest these students have in letterpress, in learning this craft and keeping it alive. We are really pleased that the collection will be kept together to be studied and used by a new generation.
owner of Globe Poster
BALTIMORE--MICA announces its intent to acquire approximately 75 percent of the historic Globe Poster Company working collection of wood type, images and illustrations employed for letterpress printing. MICA will use items in the collection as academic and research resources while preserving the legacy of these historic assets. After the acquisition is complete, young artists and designers will have the opportunity to learn first-hand traditional printing practices even as they explore contemporary methods in the digital age.
Globe Poster, historically one of the nation's largest showcard companies, has been telling the story of R&B and all forms of American music and entertainment through bright and iconic posters since 1929. Globe began by printing posters for vaudeville acts, movie theaters, burlesque houses and carnivals, and became known for its work with R&B and soul performers-including James Brown, Ike and Tina Turner and Solomon Burke-and later hip-hop acts. Big, bold, fat type, DayGlo colors and distinctive lettering were hallmarks of the Globe style. The company's unrivaled archive includes letterpress wood type, printing cuts and original posters. Globe's sturdy wood type and metal and wood cuts have survived decades of use, outliving the hands that created them and many of the musicians they popularized. The print shop closed its doors in late 2010.

"Globe is a national treasure and a unique part of Baltimore's cultural history. MICA is thrilled to be able to bring this extraordinary collection onto its campus and allow its legacy to live on through the eyes and hands of the many artists, designers and scholars who will benefit from its continuing to serve as an active, working press," MICA Provost Raymond Allen said. "The integration of Globe will distinguish MICA among its peers nationally and make Baltimore a special destination for those with a special interest in hand letterpress work."
Highlights of MICA's acquisition include:
- A significant portion of Globe's substantial wood type collection, which includes more than 350 drawers of full sets of type-including condensed, bold, regular, italic and circus fonts-enough to keep four compositors setting posters at a time in Globe's heyday.
- Approximately 5,000 letterpress "cuts"-the illustrations, lettering and photo images used to create the posters, including many hand-carved blocks. The cuts show the range of Globe's poster clients, from R&B and hip-hop acts, both famous and long-forgotten to carnivals, circuses, drag races and burlesque.
Original posters showing Globe's craftsmanship and long history, from the magician Blackstone to the early days of hip hop to Frank Zappa's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- The materials will be utilized by several graduate and undergraduate departments within the College, including the printmaking, graphic design and illustration fields. Students will be able to study the historical significance of this collection through active artmaking and utilization of the type and cuts, and the posters, original photographs and ephemera will be housed as a research facility.
Globe owners Bob and Frank Cicero had hoped to keep the collection in Baltimore. "My father would be pleased Globe is staying here," Bob Cicero said. "It's part of this city's heritage and shows Baltimore's contributions to music and entertainment." Bob and Frank had worked with their father, Joseph Sr., and brother, Joe, since they acquired the shop from its previous owner in 1975.
Bob Cicero will teach a course in the graphic design graduate program in the fall at MICA, using the same wood type, tools and images that once filled his print shop. "It's amazing to me the interest these students have in letterpress, in learning this craft and keeping it alive. I'm excited to see what they will create with our type and cuts," he said. "We are really pleased that the collection will be kept together to be studied and used by a new generation."

Practice how you play
Do you sometimes notice that going to the practice range only makes you more tired and frustrated than your previous round or practice session?
If you do, you are certainly not alone. Many golfers step on the practice tee and develop a "machine gunners" routine and mentality. They hit a shot and are raking in another ball before the shot even lands. If this describes your methods, you are not really practicing, just exercising, and may be better off visiting the treadmill or fitness bike.
Golf on the course and golf on the practice tee can be two completely different games. While practicing, a player tends to use the conscious mind more. He lets his thoughts guide the swing. On the course, we need to use the subconscious. We should focus more on the target, more on the feel of the swing, more on the shape of the shot. Using the subconscious is the same as employing good habits, those we should be creating on the practice tee!
To create better habits for the golf course, you should start practicing the way you would play on the course. A shot on the golf course should start with a visualization and alignment and address routine. As on the course, the routine should always be directed towards a target. As well as visualization, it is also helpful to use your imagination when practicing. Go to an area on the range where you have good angles to flags, trees, undulations and other visual targets common on most ranges. From that point, try to imagine yourself on a particular hole or situation on the golf course. Choose the shot you want to hit, then trust it!
Make your practice fun. You should change targets and clubs frequently to keep your practice interesting and helpful. On the course, we will normally hit a tee shot, an approach from the fairway, and then a pitch, chip, or putt. We should therefore alternate which shots we practice on the range, hitting a few balls with a tee-shot club, a few balls with an approach iron or fairway wood, and a few short game shots. You may want to spend the most time on the shots you use the most or shots that have been costing you shots on the course.
Lastly, to reduce frustration and fatigue, try to keep yourself as relaxed and positive as possible. If you start getting tired, stop and rest. Go to the water cooler, work on your putting, or come back later. The quickest way to develop bad habits and cause injury is to overwork your swing.
Give your game purpose on the practice tee and, as always, for more ideas on practice and swing technique, visit your local PGA. Professional.

Jailed for thefts and causing damage to cell
A MAN claimed in court he turned to theft to get travel cash desperately needed to get him home urgently after learning his mother had been killed in a car crash and other members of his family in Newcastle had been injured. But the story was a lie..
David Francis (29) admitted a series of thefts in the town which occurred on December 18. These included snatching £330 from a taxi, Wick Sheriff Court was told. Francis also pleaded guilty to causing damage at Wick police station and abusive behaviour there.
Francis, whose home address then was given as 44 Stockfield Avenue, Newcastle, told the court about the car crash at an earlier appearance at the court but before he was remanded, he quickly admitted he had made it all up.
When he appeared for sentence, yesterday, Fiona MacDonald said that Francis had travelled from Shetland to Orkney after losing jobs, then onto Caithness where he committed the offences. The solicitor said that the theft of the taxi takings had been "a cry for help".
She added that the accused had "lost control of himself" in the police cell where he had defecated on blankets. Specialist cleaners had to brought in, to put the cell back in order.
Sheriff Andrew Berry described the fabricated story Francis had given to the court, as "truly shocking" and jailed him for four months, backdated to his remand. The court heard that he would be living in Bishop Auckland, after his release.

1 High Incline Bench Press
Sets: 2-4 Reps: Work up to your 5RM
Set an adjustable bench to a 60-degree incline and lie down on it. Grab the bar with an overhand, shoulder-width grip and lift it off the rack, arching your back. Lower the bar to the upper part of your chest, tucking your elbows near your sides as it comes down. Once the bar touches your chest, push your feet hard into the floor and press the weight up. Perform several low-rep warm-up sets to slowly work up to your five-rep max (5RM), the heaviest weight you can lift for five perfect repetitions. Once you've found your 5RM, perform two to four sets with that weight or a load that's a little lighter.
2 Romanian Deadlift
Sets: 3 Reps: 12-15, 8-12, 6
Hold a barbell in front of your thighs with a shoulder-width grip. Bend your hips and then your knees while maintaining the natural arch in your lower back, and lower your torso until you feel the arch in your lower back is about to be lost. Keep the bar pulled close to your body at all times.
3 Dumbbell Row
Sets: 3 Reps: 12-15, 8-12, 6
Hold a dumbbell in one hand and rest your opposite hand and knee on a bench for support. Allow the arm holding the weight to hang straight down. Keeping your lower back flat, row the weight to the side of your chest.
4 Walking Lunge
Sets: 3 Reps: 12-15, 8-12, 6
Step forward with one leg and lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Your shin and thigh should form a 90-degree angle. Your back leg should be bent so that your knee hovers about two inches from the floor. Push off from your front leg and step forward with your other leg.
5 Situp
Sets: As many as needed Reps: 70 total
Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent 90 degrees. Interlace your fingers and cup the back of your head. Sit up all the way. Perform 70 total reps, doing as many sets as you need to (and resting as needed in between) until you hit that number.
6 Sprint
Sets: 8-10 Reps: 30 seconds on/20 seconds off
Get on a treadmill or go to a track and sprint at the fastest pace you can maintain for 30 seconds and then rest 20 seconds. That's one set. Repeat for eight to 10 sprints. (not shown)

Will the third time be the charm for Oregon officials who hope to extend council terms from two years to four?
A city charter amendment that would do just that headlines an array of local issues on local ballots, including numerous local levy renewals, some taxes that are either replacements or new, and charter amendments in other communities.
Oregon council members now are up for re-election every two years. The proposed amendment would established staggered four-year terms, with three and four seats up for election in alternating odd-numbered years.
READ MORE: The Blade 2012 Voters Guide
City voters rejected the idea in 1990 and in 2002. If they change their minds, the top three vote-getters in next year's municipal election would receive four-year terms, while the next four would be seated for two years and be eligible to seek four-year terms in 2015.
A proposed charter amendment in Rossford would grant City Council the authority to waive the bond requirement for city officials and employees who handle public funds.
The city pays for the bonds, but those covered by them are excluded from Rossford's general liability insurance, which would apply if council opted not to require a bond.
In Waterville, amendments are proposed to several sections of the charter that establish residency requirements for the mayor and council and set their compensation.
Compensation will simply be "fixed by ordinance or resolution" rather than be at least a minimum established by the Ohio Public Employees' Retirement System, and council members would be allowed to reduce their own pay during the current term. Any pay increases would not take effect during a current term of office.
The amendments also would establish a city Civil Service Commission and allow carry-over balances to be considered in municipal budgeting.
Police levies are on the ballot in Lake Township and Millbury, which contracts with Lake for its police service.
The 1-mill levy proposed in Millbury would cover about $20,000 of the $62,000 the village pays Lake Township annually for police service and cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $30.63 per year.
Lake's request is to replace an 1.4-mill tax that dates to 1982, with three decades of rollbacks and inflation having eroded its effective rate to just 0.4 mill. If approved, the replacement would cost about $42.88 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home, up from $12.94 now.
One mill equals $1 of tax for each $1,000 of property valuation.
Also in Wood County, Grand Rapids Township has placed a 2.35-mill, 20-year bond levy on the ballot to pay for a new fire station, while Perrysburg Township has requested a 4-mill, continuing tax for fire and emergency medical services. The Grand Rapids Township tax bill would be $71.97 per year, while Perrysburg Township's would be $122.50.
Fire operations expenses are the purpose of a 1.5-mill levy that Monclova Township has proposed to replace and increase by 0.8 mill. The net impact on the owner of a $100,000 home would be to boost the fire-levy bill from about $40.01 to $70.44 annually.
Berkey voters have been asked to replace an 0.75-mill operating levy with a five-year, 3-mill tax that would increase that standard homeowner's bill from $22.95 to $91.88. The village also has chosen not to renew its 0.75-mill capital-improvement levy.
In Sylvania and Sylvania Township, the Sylvania Area Joint Recreation District has proposed a new, 0.4-mill levy that would generate $578,875 in annual revenue for its operations and cost the owner of a $100,000 house $12.25 in annual tax.
A new five-year, half-mill parks and recreation levy in the Fulton County village of Metamora, meanwhile, would cost $15.31 for the owner of a $100,000 home there if approved.
Levy renewals are highlighted by a 2-mill, five-year fire-service tax in Washington Township. Renewal means that the assessment basis for the levy does not change, and thus bills would remain the same.
In Ottawa County, Elmore officials have requested renewals of a 3-mill operating levy for five years and a 2.5-mill streets levy for three years. Genoa has a five-year renewal of 1.3 mlils for Veterans' Memorial Park operations on its ballot, while Benton Township's ballot includes a five-year, 0.5-mill levy renewal for cemetery maintenance and operations.

Hi everyone.
I'm Emilia, an 18 y/o transgirl from Germany. I'm still going to School, and i spend most my spare time either gaming or watching some Anime.
But at times i feel the Urge to write some stories. This feeling often comes up whenever i listen to music and imagine sceneries and events happening with that music fitting. I rarely get to start writing though and most times if i do, it is just some pulsive "Let's write a story" without big of a concept. That mostly ends in me writing a few pages and then running out of fuel, abandoning the stories.
I kinda want to change that now though. I've started collecting some ideas and started writing a script. I don't have that clear of an idea yet, but i really want to finish this one for real.
That's actually why i signed up on here. I believe that if i can share my progress and communicate with fellow writers who may are in similar situations, i can motivate myself a lot more to finish something.
That's kinda all there is i want to say, if you've got any questions about me, feel free to ask them :)
Thanks for reading~

Temporary workers are a major issue for safety regulations. Today's post is shared from probulica.org
A version of this story was produced by Univision and will air tonight at 6:30 p.m.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – This was it, he told his brother Jojo. He would finally be able to pay his mother back for the fender bender, buy some new shoes and, if things went well, maybe even start a life with his fiancee who was living in Atlanta.
After getting his high school diploma, completing federal job training and sending out dozens of applications, Day Davis, 21, got a job. It was through a temp agency and didn't pay very much, but he would be working at the Bacardi bottling plant, making the best-selling rum in the world.
Davis called his mother to tell her the good news and ask if she could pick him up so he could buy the required steel-toe boots, white shirt and khaki pants and get to the factory for a 15-minute orientation before his 3 p.m. shift.
Word spread quickly through the family. "Me and my brother was like, 'Don't mess up now, you got to do good, don't mess up,' " said his younger sister, Nia.
It was a humid 90 degrees as Davis walked into Bacardi's Warehouse No. 7 to the rattle of glass bottles,...
