Balance rights of citizens to protest at Republican National Convention while keeping downtown safe
During a March 8, 2011, televised debate, Bob Buckhorn was asked how he would balance the rights of citizens to protest during the Republican National Convention with his responsibilities to keep downtown Tampa functioning and safe. He responded: "People who want to express themselves need to be given an opportunity. For me, it's a very fundamental premise: you break the law, you're going to jail. Absent that, you're entitled to say whatever you want to say within reason. But we will conduct ourselves accordingly. Our police department will conduct themselves accordingly. I want to make sure that when the entire world is watching Tampa, Fla. that we stand up and we are proud of this city and that we behave accordingly."
Police show overwhelming force but use cooperative approach
As a candidate, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn pledged that the city would support the First Amendment rights of protesters during the Republican National Convention.
"People who want to express themselves need to be given an opportunity," Buckhorn said during a televised debate sponsored by the Tampa Bay Times and Bay News 9 on March 8, 2011.
The question was, as mayor, how would he balance the rights of citizens to protest during the convention with his responsibilities to keep downtown Tampa functioning and safe?
"You break the law, you're going to jail," candidate Buckhorn said, foreshadowing a warning he would give again and again as mayor. "Absent that, you're entitled to say whatever you want to say within reason."
Planning for the convention was already well underway when Buckhorn made his promise. After taking office on April 1, 2011, Buckhorn and police consistently said their responsibility was to keep the city safe while protecting the ability of peaceful demonstrators to march.
Security inside the convention, which took place Aug. 27-30, 2012, at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, was controlled and paid for by the Secret Service. But federal officials also closed many streets in the southern part of downtown, including the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and the Platt and Brorein street bridges, and those closures shaped the city's security plan, too.
Like Charlotte, N.C., the host of the Democratic National Convention, Tampa received a $50 million federal grant to pay for security outside the convention. Tampa spent the federal money on personnel (including more than 3,500 officers on temporary duty from other Florida agencies), plus improved radios, surveillance cameras, body armor, summer-weight cotton uniforms, vehicles, bicycles and fences for some government buildings.
The city also established an Event Zone covering downtown, the University of Tampa's campus, Ybor City and the northern part of Harbour Island. Inside that zone, the city banned certain items that could be used as weapons. It also established an official parade route and a total of 7 acres of designated protest areas.
To facilitate protests, city officials took reservations for blocks of time on the parade route, in city parks and in the protest area, which included a stage and a microphone. They budgeted $115,000, which did not come from the federal security grant, to provide demonstrators with drinking water and access to about 600 portable toilets. They also worked with the Hillsborough County Health Department to bring in misting stations so protesters could cool off.
In training officers to work the convention, police and Hillsborough County sheriff's officials said they put particular emphasis on the need to protect the First Amendment rights of demonstrators and journalists.
Toward this end, police worked with the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida and put some tips from the ACLU on a map of downtown that the city handed out to protesters. Top police commanders and city attorneys met repeatedly with a lead organizer of a major protest. Police also received training on working with journalists from Mickey H. Osterreicher, the general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association.
Going into the convention, police estimated they might see 15,000 or more protesters.
Instead, with Tropical Storm Isaac threatening the bay area, the total number of protesters for the week was maybe 2,000, according to Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor.
Protests were peaceful, and police said they worked to defuse potential confrontation by finding out what protesters wanted, and, if it didn't hurt anyone, letting them do it.
On Aug. 27, for example, an unpermitted march led to a sit-down at the intersection of Tampa Street and Kennedy Boulevard.
In response, police brought up officers in riot gear, but kept those troops standing by so news photographers could take photos of demonstrators. Eventually, Tampa police Assistant Chief John Bennett knelt down on one knee and asked protesters to move to the sidewalk so he could open the street. Just as the skies opened in a drenching rainstorm, protesters left peacefully.
Similarly, authorities struck a deal with protesters who chained themselves together for several hours on the last day of the convention at the entrance to the TECO Big Bend Power Station: If officers freed them and they left peacefully, there would be no arrests.
At the end of the week, authorities had made just two RNC-related arrests -- one of a man who carried a machete onto the official parade route the day before the convention and one of a protester who refused to remove a bandana. (Masks were allowed on the parade route and in the designated protest areas, but not in other parts of the city's Event Zone.) Beyond some graffiti, there was no reported property damage. No officers were hurt, and police didn't use tear gas, pepper spray, batons or bean-bag projectiles in dealing with protesters.
Michael E. Pheneger, the president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, said he spent the week watching protests and that in every case but one, the demonstrations ended up going some place the city didn't anticipate.
Pheneger praised the city for having senior officials -- including Castor, Bennett and City Attorney James Shimberg Jr. -- on the scene of the protests, for making decisions that avoided confrontation, for training officers to be friendly and communicative, and generally for "being flexible under the circumstances."
Pheneger said demonstrators deserve credit, too, and that local officials got lucky.
"I don't know that anybody can complain that they were not allowed to get their message out," Pheneger said. "The police pretty much let them go the directions they wanted to go and facilitated it."
Even some protesters said the police surprised them -- in a good way. "I thank Tampa Bay for keeping a level head," said William G. Estrella, an Occupy Wall Street protester from New York, after the peaceful resolution to the sit-down at Tampa Street and Kennedy Boulevard.
But not everyone felt that security presence was proportional to the need.
With police on virtually every corner, downtown Tampa was safe. But the state and federal courthouses, the Fred B. Karl County Center, Old City Hall and main downtown library all closed for the convention. Heavy steel fences surrounded some of those buildings, with law enforcement officers or National Guard troops standing guard. Some restaurants closest to the heavy security complained they lost business the week of the convention.
And one protest leader contended that while protests were peaceful, "scare tactics were used by the mayor's office to prevent people from coming out."
In the months leading up to the convention, "they militarized the police force, and they geared up for war," said Jared Hamil, a leading organizer of the March on the RNC, which had expected 5,000 marchers but saw only a fraction of that number. Local officials turned Tampa into a "police state," he said, creating an atmosphere that was "the opposite of inviting."
Still, when asked whether protesters who were on the ground during the RNC had a chance to express themselves, Hamil said, "Yes," though he added that downtown Tampa looked like one big cage during the convention.
In an interview on Sept. 11, 2012, Buckhorn said he meant for the message to be clear and consistent that they were not going to tolerate criminal behavior, but he said officials distinguished between "those who were just coming to protest versus those who were coming to break the law."
"I wanted that message to get out to the entire world, that if you're coming here and you intend to break the law, we're going to be ready for you and we're going to deal with you, and we're not messing around" he said. "I'm not going to sacrifice this city and our police officers and put them at risk to a bunch of folks whose only cause was destruction."
As a candidate, Buckhorn said that during the Republican National Convention "people who want to express themselves need to be given an opportunity." Tampa's RNC security plan created inconvenience for downtown residents and businesses, but the city worked to create a safe, predictable environment for protests, to meet the physical needs of demonstrators and to work with protesters even when they marched onto streets that were not closed to traffic. As a result, demonstrators who came to Tampa for the RNC had the chance to express themselves. We rate this as a Promise Kept.

Convention security plan proposed, would set limits on protests
The Republican National Convention could draw up to 15,000 protesters to Tampa from Aug. 27-30, and the city's plan for those demonstrations has been a concern to civil libertarians since before Bob Buckhorn was elected.
At a debate sponsored by the Tampa Bay Times and Bay News 9, Buckhorn was asked how he would balance the rights of citizens to protest during the convention with his responsibilities as mayor to keep downtown Tampa functioning and safe.
"People who want to express themselves need to be given an opportunity," Buckhorn replied "For me, it's a very fundamental premise: you break the law, you're going to jail. Absent that, you're entitled to say whatever you want to say within reason."
On March 28, 2012, Buckhorn's administration unveiled a set of proposed protest rules for the convention that reveal more of the city's thinking about how to strike this balance.
Here's the essence of the plan: Facilitate protests in a controlled area near the convention site. Allow parades and rallies in other parts of downtown, too, but require organizers to get permits and set a one-hour time limit. Enact temporary rules to ramp up security in and around downtown.
Buckhorn wants to create the protest zone near the Tampa Bay Times Forum, the site of the convention, though the exact location of the zone has not been identified yet. It would be open 24 hours a day, probably would be fenced, and protesters would be screened to make sure they don't have weapons. But it could also have water, portable toilets and access to a stage and microphone.
And while protesters couldn't camp out there, they could stay and demonstrate as long as they pleased.
Outside the protest zone, which the city is calling a "public viewing area," it would be a different story.
The city would allow groups of more than 50 to march only on an official parade route and rally only at city parks. And to do so, they would need a city permit. Finally, no parade or rally outside the protest zone could last longer than 60 minutes.
The city also is looking at creating a "Clean Zone" covering downtown, Ybor City, the Channel District, parts of some nearby neighborhoods, plus Harbour Island and Davis Islands. Inside that zone, a variety of items that could be used as weapons would be banned.
Buckhorn said police are training intensely to be ready for trouble without over-reacting.
"It's a high-wire act," he said. "Will we do everything right? Probably not, but it won't be because we haven't trained and practiced and because we don't go at this with the best of intentions."
Buckhorn said during the campaign that "people who want to express themselves need to be given an opportunity." His proposals for doing that are written into an ordinance that's scheduled to go to the Tampa City Council for the first of two votes on April 5. A lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union attorney said the ACLU will address the proposed rules then. There also will be more public discussion on this as the convention approaches and more planning and preparation. Finally, the most important proof of what happens on this promise will take place on the ground in late August.
If ever anything was In the Works, this is it.

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
I don't really have a sweet tooth, but I get crazy-excited when I see macarons. Apparently I'm not alone, because when NYX Cosmetics sent us its new collection of Macaron Lippies, along with a sleeve of matching macarons, everyone in the office FREAKED OUT.
Considering the shared excitement, I simply couldn't do this post alone. And we're due for another xoV/xoJ beauty crossover experiment, right? So I knocked on my neighbor Olivia's desk and we tested six of the 12 funky-colored macaron lippies, which are about double what you'd pay for a good macaron in a fancy New York patisserie. (They're $6 each, in case you're not up on bougie macaron prices.)
Olivia's Picks
What colors did you try? "Coconut (white), Violet (royal purple), and Blue Velvet (electric blue)."
Tell me your favorite/least favorite. "My favorite was def the purple. It just looked like something I'd actually wear in real life, but if I was looking for a little more punch. Least would be the white because I looked a little TOO intense."
Where would you wear these colors? "I'd never wear the white--it made my lower lip look way too big. But maybe I'd wear it at a Halloween party. It reminds me of a snow princess look. The purple reminded me of living my dream of one day being Katy Perry, and I'd actually wear it to go see Katy Perry--like, to actually meet her. The blue shade reminded me of a sea creature from Planet SWAG. I'd wear it to the beach so I could match the ocean."
What color did you love most on me? "BLACK, beautiful baby goth doll. LOVE."
My Picks
Colors I tried: Rose (lavender pink), Lavender, and Chambord (black)."
Favorites/least favorites: I was surprised at how much I disliked the Rose, because I wear a lot of other rose-colored lip products. It was too light and it made my teeth look yellow. Not cute. Another surprise was that I LOVED the black! I think it complements my smoky eye.
Wearability: I'd never wear the pink or lavender out. They're really pretty colors, but they just don't suit my personality and style (too Gaga meets Nicki Minaj for moi). I'd definitely rock the black for Halloween. Wearing it made me feel really fierce and intimidating.
Color I loved on Olivia: Blue! Not only does it looks great with her skin tone, it also complements her personality--vibrant and fun
In case you were wondering, the formula is flavorless and mostly odorless. The lipsticks are pretty pigmented, but I suggest layering the color over a lip primer or balm for a smooth application.
Time to talk! Which one would you wear? Does anyone like the white? And what's your favorite macaron flavor?

A past winner of the Mary Lou Williams Piano Competition, Helen Sung knows her way around eighty-eight keys, and after five well-received albums, this NYC residing, Houston, Texas native is bringing her talents to the Concord Music label.
The Concord debut Anthem For A New Day is set for release January 28, and it's already safe to call it the best way to get acquainted with her exceptional talents. For this date, she put together a crack sextet with Seamus Blake (saxes), Ingrid Jensen (trumpet) Reuben Rogers (bass), Obed Calvaire (drums) and Samuel Torres (percussion). John Ellis, Regina Carter and Paquito D'Rivera lend their skills for a handful of tracks.
Those are reasons enough to make Anthem an entry point to her catalog, but it's also the multiplicity she invests in this album, whether it's mainstream, modern or fusion jazz; acoustic piano or Fender Rhodes. They're all tied together by the exuberance of her keyboard attack, done with grace, not overly done dramatics.
The range also expands to choice of songs: this album is full of creative adaptations of old tunes like "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" and "Epistrophy." All the same, she shows imagination in her own songs. That begins with the starting track, "Brother Thelonious."
"Brother Thelonious" had its origins in a song Sung was commissioned to pen as a theme song for a Belgian ale named just that. Like a good brew, this tune is frothy, complex and is pleasing for those with sophisticated palates. Blake and Rogers get their licks in but its Sung who lets go and shreds starting just before three-minute mark.
That's why we just had to give you a taste test via the exclusive stream above. A great way to begin Anthem For A New Day, and it doesn't let up from there.

'Spider-Man' Musical's Arbitration Hearing to Begin Next Week
Former director Julie Taymor's claim states that she's owed more than $500,000 in royalties.
The troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will open its next chapter of trouble with the arbitration hearing for ousted director Julie Taymor beginning next week.
The Stage Directors and Choreographers Society has filed an arbitration claim against the producers of the musical, claiming the former director is owed more than $500,000 in royalties, according to the New York Times.

The arbitrator, George Nicolau, will explore several issues, including the producers' contractual obligation to pay royalties to Taymor and their grounds for dismissing her.
Taymore was let go of in due to artistic differences following poor reviews and several injuries involving the cast. The show finally premiered in June, and Taymore attended the opening night.

According to the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, Taymor has yet to receive royalties since the show began preview performances last Nov. 28. Failure to pay royalties violates both the union's collective bargaining agreement and Taymor's individual contract, the union said.
Taymor has rarely spoken out on her firing, but did briefy speak about the pressure of the job at a Los Angeles' Theatre Communications conference.
STORY: 'Spider-Man' Director Julie Taymor Out; New Creative Team Hired
"It's incredibly difficult to be under a shot-glass and a microscope like that," Taymor said.
She also criticized the use of focus groups to finalize artistic decisions, pointing out that she aims to appeal to a wide variety of theatergoers and testing on select audiences limits her scope. "There's always something people don't like," she said.

Community Health Center Expands, Announces New Medical Director
Eastern Kentucky University's Bluegrass Community Health Center has expanded its presence in Lexington with a recently completed building project, and named Lexington physician Dr. Steve Wrightson as its new medical director.
The Bluegrass Community Health Center, originally established by EKU in 2001 as a migrant farm worker health center, is a licensed primary health care center, providing preventive and primary health care for residents of eight central Kentucky counties: Fayette, Madison, Clark, Scott, Bourbon, Woodford, Jessamine and Garrard.
Through its two locations in Lexington – 1306 Versailles Road, Suite 120, and 151 N. Eagle Creek Drive, Suite 220 – the Center offers a variety of clinic services: well-child and well-adult exams, sick visits for adults and children, chronic illness management, school and sports physicals, immunizations, women's health and family planning, minor procedures, counseling, case management and referral services and language support.
The recently completed expansion project at the North Eagle Creek Drive location doubled the amount of space available, allowing for an additional medical provider to be assigned to the site. This doubles the capacity of the clinic to provide for patients.
Currently, the Center staff includes three physicians, a nurse practitioner, four nurses, three social workers, case managers and other professionals. In addition, approximately 50 EKU students assist each year in providing services while gaining valuable practical experience.
Wrightson, a practicing physician for more than 20 years who joined the BCHC staff on Aug. 23, has also been an assistant professor in the University of Kentucky College of Medicine's Department of Family and Community Medicine since 2006, and served as Residency Program Director for the department three of those years.
The Center lists more than 70 community partners, including government agencies, health care organizations, specialty providers, hospitals, schools, and organizations serving special populations.
For more information about Center services, call 859-259-2635 or, toll-free, 1-877-527-2583, or visit bchc.eku.edu.

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!
Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, and Families,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!
My name is Amy Henderson and I will be your child's Art Teacher. I am really excited to have your child in my class this year. For those returning students, I look forward to another outstanding year.
I graduated from Holy Family University with a Major in Art Therapy, and later received my Masters degree in Education. This is my seventh year as a teacher, and I look forward to a successful and productive school year. Throughout the year, we will be learning much about art, the materials, history, appreciation, the elements of art, and the principles of design. I am planning activities to develop the creative skills and interests of students, as well as trips throughout the year. I hope to make this academic year educational and fun-filled for the students. The year will culminate in an Art Show to present the amazing work the students complete. I hope all of you will be able to join us in celebrating the hard work and talent of your children.
Art Class Information/Requirements:
Pencil & Eraser – required for every class.
Sketch Book/Art Journal – each student may bring a sketch book or art journal: the best I have found is at Wal-Mart ($3.84), Target, Deals, craft stores, and many other stores carry them, as well. Copybooks are acceptable.
Old Shirt/Art Apron – in order to protect the uniform, you may want to send your child with and old shirt or apron: students may store these in the art classroom.
Homework – will be assigned every class, each student is required to write the homework assignment in the school agenda book.
Class work – a class work grade is given every class, and includes participation and effort.
Projects – are done in class, unless otherwise announced.
Tests/Quizzes – will be announced and included in the homework section of the School Agenda book, as well as included on the teacher website.
Please refer to my teacher website for information on projects, homework, and to keep updated on the happenings in art class. If you would like to discuss your child's performance or any other aspects of art class, feel free to contact me to schedule a meeting.
Yours Sincerely,
Ms. Amy Henderson

A 27-year-old Joliet man was sentenced to more than four years in prison today after pleading guilty to taking part in a racially-motivated attack on an African-American man on New Year's Day.
Jerry L. Bryant, on parole for retail theft, had also allegedly struck a Joliet police officer with a trash can during the Jan. 1 assault at a Marathon gas station, 324 S. Larkin Ave., in Joliet.
He pled guilty today to aggravated battery and a hate crime and was sentenced to 57 months in prison, according to a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney.
Bryant, who according to court documents was unemployed, has two prior convictions for aggravated battery of a peace officer, according to online prison records.

You've just endured the worst two months in the past 58 years for U.S. financial markets. I'm sure you knew things were bad, but let me give you some hard facts to back up what you're feeling right now:
Of the 30 worst trading days since 1950, a full nine of them (30%) occurred this past September and October. That 9% drop we saw in early October was the second-worst trading day since the early part of the last century.
Yet despite the turmoil, you're still reading about stocks that interest you, and hopefully investing more money in the best of the bunch. You do so not out of some perverse masochistic impulse, but because it makes sense. You know that when stocks go on sale, it's time to cash in on those market panic coupons and go shopping.
We've seen this before … almost
The only year that comes close to rivaling the precipitous drops in recent memory was 1987. That year stakes its claim to five of the worst trading days since 1950, including the so-called Black Monday crash of October 1987, which erased more than 20% from the S&P. But even that drop turned out to be a blip, albeit an incredibly large one, on an otherwise tremendous nearly two-decade bull market run for stocks.
Will we look back on September and October 2008 as another bump on the long road to prosperity? I won't make a market prediction for the next year, or even two years, but valuations have improved considerably in recent months, and there are some successful long-term investors who share that sentiment.
Don't be afraid of value
Marty Whitman, legendary value investor and manager of the Third Avenue Value Fund, had this to say about current opportunities: "Safe and cheap [investing] on a long-term basis seems to be about as attractive at it was in the 1970s." He's also been snapping up shares of prominent companies whose valuations had been crushed, such as Sears Holdings
John Hussman, value investor and self-proclaimed "perma-bear," thinks current valuations are attractive. Hussman's Strategic Growth Fund has achieved cumulative growth of 116% since its inception in July 2000, versus a 25% loss for the S&P. Hussman was able to more than double the value of his fund largely by avoiding market exposure.
Now, for the first time in more than five years, Hussman believes current valuations are blatantly attractive. He recently noted that "relative to the 30-year Treasury yields, the S&P 500 is priced to deliver the highest excess return since the early 1980s." Remember, the early 1980s marked the beginning of the greatest wealth creation in our nation's history.
Don't be afraid of volatility
Even though valuations are much more attractive now than they were this time last year, financial markets will remain volatile in the coming months. But if you have the discipline and willingness to search for companies that are unjustifiably cheap, I believe you will reap handsome rewards five to 10 years from now.
So how do you keep your wits about you and invest in long-term winners? As a research analyst with our small-cap Motley Fool Hidden Gems service, I look for companies that possess
- Strong balance sheets
- Wide moats
- Room to grow
Here's why:
Strong balance sheets
Much of the hysteria in the market these days centers on the lack of access to capital. Companies that can internally fund their growth, or have enough cash to withstand a severe recession, should be at the top of your list. I recently added children's retailer Gymboree to our watch list. The company has absolutely no debt and plenty of cash on its balance sheet. It may not grow earnings at 20% for the next two or three years, as it has in the past. But it has a strong enough financial position to ride out a slow economy.
Wide moats
Companies with wide moats offer products or services that are extraordinarily difficult for a competitor or start-up to emulate. For example, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway
Room to grow
Though emerging markets have been pummeled this year, some well-run companies will undoubtedly benefit as countries like Brazil, Russia, India, and China continue to advance. Foreign-based companies should certainly play a role in any diversified portfolio. But there are also a number of U.S.-based firms that also have strong footprints in these growth regions.
Invest like it's 1987
Due to present fear-induced valuations, investors who demand these three must-haves from their investments stand an excellent chance of generating healthy returns over the long haul.
Unfortunately, discipline is perhaps the most difficult quality to develop on the road to becoming a great investor. As much as our brains draw on empirical data and the lessons of great investors, our emotions grab at headlines, euphoria, and -- more recently -- panic selling, when making decisions.
At Hidden Gems, we will never profess expertise at calling market bottoms or tops. In fact, we're skeptical of any who do. But we do know that proven investors with a demonstrated aptitude for consistently beating the market are shouting that stocks are cheap right now.
We plan to listen to them, and to continue investing in companies that possess the aforementioned qualities. Such companies will lead the market higher when the inevitable turnaround comes -- just as they did when small caps leapt 23% after the roller coaster of 1987. You should try us out free for 30 days, and have a look at the small caps we believe the market is grossly undervaluing at the moment.

Public Health officials are looking for a 24-year-old North County man who has a contagious case of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Agustin Zeferino has been consulted and treated by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department in the past but he has discontinued treatment and his location is unknown, prompting the county to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Without proper treatment, his condition poses a serious health risk to people who come into close contact with him, health officer Dr. Charity Thoman said in a statement.
"With appropriate treatment, tuberculosis can be cured," she said. The disease is spread through the air from person to person.
"Without treatment, it is often fatal and poses a public health threat due to airborne transmission," she said. "This is particularly due for drug-resistant cases. If Mr. Zeferino is contagious and he is out in our community, it is a public health emergency."
If anyone knows his location, Public Health asks them to call law enforcement at 9-1-1.
Tuberculosis is one of the many communicable diseases that the Public Health Department monitors and investigates in Santa Barbara County.

In mid-April a northern white rhinoceros named "Sudan" was placed under 24-hour armed guard at Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Sudan is one of a kind – literally. He is the only remaining male of his subspecies, which now includes just six animals. If he dies without first mating with one of two females he shares a pen with, the northern white rhino will disappear from the planet.

Yemen militants cut off soldier's fingers
Gunmen in south Yemen, where troops are hunting down militants linked to Al-Qaeda, abducted a soldier and cut off three of his fingers, the defence ministry's website said on Tuesday.
The site, 26sep.net, named the soldier as Mohammed al-Jaradi, and said he was abducted late on Monday in Daleh, the capital of the province of the same name, and taken him to a village.
Jaradi was later found in the village with three fingers on one hand missing.
The ministry said the authorities were trying to prevent the militants from regrouping in Daleh, after they were ousted by the military from neighbouring Abyan province where they had controlled several areas for a year.
It also said the police headquarters in Daleh was shelled on Tuesday by unidentified assailants. Courts there closed several days ago because of the number of armed attacks, it said.
Taking advantage of a central government weakened by an Arab Spring-inspired uprising last year, Al-Qaeda-linked militants overran most of Abyan.
But on May 12, the military launched an all-out offensive to recapture the province and have made significant advances.

I have heard rumor of pancreas transplants in [a major United States city]. My information is that such transplants are a cure for diabetes. Please advise.
Pancreas transplants have been used for many years as therapy for Type 1 diabetes. It's not a cure, since putting a piece of someone else's pancreas into a person with diabetes doesn't do anything about the autoimmune process that caused the diabetes in the first place.
The surgery is extremely complex, and the therapy that's needed to prevent the body from attacking and destroying the transplant is even more complicated. Many times, a hospital has tried one or two pancreas transplants, but I would strongly advise anyone interested in learning more about this procedure to contact one of the few medical centers that have a long track record, with publications that discuss their success (and failure) rate.
For more information, see Islet Transplantation from the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami, Florida.

In VB6, how do I recreate the same functionality as the Pico Recorder where if the ADC24 is accidentally disconnected WHILE streaming, it has the ability to realise that the connection has dropped out and it will resume when the device is plugged back in?
If I have opened the unit and started streaming in VB6, if the connection is then momentarily lost and regained, this hangs the program.
I have error trapped the Streaming function and was going to use this to allow the user to reconnect, but the problem is I cant use HRDLOpenUnit, it returns a 0 as it sees an open connection already. If I try HRDLClose before hand I don't know the new handle of the new connection that has been established, so I cant send the HRDLclose handle parameter.
I noticed that in the PicoRecorder - when its streaming you can pull the USB cable and a error message windows appears asking to reconnect the device. if you reconnect you get a progress indicator and it starts streaming again.
However your VB6 sample code does something very similar to my project, ie if you are streaming data and you pull the USB, it hangs the program - you cant close the Unit or stop, or even shut the program down to restart it - you have to use task manager to shut it down and reopen it.
So, how did you do it in the PicoRecorder?

Devil's Pizzeria
I wasn't expecting Devil's Pizzeria, the new pizza place on Ninth St (742 Ninth St) to fill the large and much-loved shoes of Pizza Palace. Unfortunately, it also didn't fill shoes of the generic but edible I Love Manhattan Pizza that Devil's replaced. I am always rooting for new local businesses, so I am really hoping that my experience (and my friend's, in a separate trip) is not representative. Please, if someone else wants to risk trying it in the coming weeks, after they've gotten a chance to get things together, let us know in the comments if it's gotten better. As it is though, I am not sure how it will last a month.
First, the single slices looked so inedible that my friend and I ordered a whole pie. I have never seen pizza that didn't look good to me. Then, the sauce tasted like tomato paste with a bit of oregano and the crust was tasteless and seemed frozen.
I'd love to be wrong about this, or to find that it was just an opening-week problem! Let us know what you think.
Update: I finally went back to Devil's, after hearing mixed reviews (from commenters that it was not bad or even delicious, and from a friend that she actually threw up after eating there). My opinion is somewhere in the middle–I do think the pizza I had (pepperoni this time) was significantly more edible than when I first tried it, but it was still pretty disappointing. The cheese seemed cheap (you know when you can see the separate shreds of cheese on frozen pizzas? Yeah, like that) and everything else about my slice was just mediocre.

Great Dry Sack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This lightweight dry sack is great and holds a lot of gear and keeps it really dry. I packed a weeks worth of clothes in the 35L and some other gear for a trip to Costa Rica and I had some room to spare. Keeps all your gear dry in that humid climate and when you are not needing it it packs down super small to not take up that much room. If you are looking for a great lightweight option check this one out.
Great Ultralight Dry Sack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are very lightweight and due to that they are not the most durable nor are they the most waterproof. That is not the point of ultralight gear so that being said I love these for what they are. If you are looking for an ultralight dry stuff sack look no further.
Not all that waterproof
The bag seemed to be airtight but not very waterproof. Used it to protect our camera bag while hiking in the rain. After a few hours of camping, we opened it up to check on our camera and the whole inside of the OR dry sack was moist. Our camera bag was moist as well. The camera did not suffer any damage, thankfully, but we lost confidence that it would keep our items dry.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got the 2.5 litre size. I mostly put gear that I need to stay dry, in case of a downpour or leak in my pack cover. So far, it's done the job well. The clip is easy enough to handle with one hand. Also convenient size if you are at a campsite and need to bring a few things with you, but don't want to bring your entire bag/pannier.
Ultra Light
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Lighter than my other dry bags so durability is a concern but after the first river trip they seem to be up to the task.
Thank you Moe!

Keep Yo' Stuff Dry
I have both the 5L and the 20L on this and have used both of them with no leaks or anything like that. These are not the thick dry sacks that can be fully submerged in water, but are the lighter weight material, but still have fully taped seems. An added bonus is that these dry sacks float pretty well when some air is left in them when you roll it closed.
Thank you Patrick!

20 L Dry Sack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The 20 L is awesome. I love this size, I have several dry sacks. What I love about this one is that it fits perfectly into my small day bag and I can use it as a liner. It is almost the same size as my day bag and it keeps everything dry. If you want to size it down to a smaller size just roll down the top.
Works great!
Thank you Ryan!

I got 10L and I'm super stoked on the size it came to be and I intend on using it often!
Thanks Mitchell!

Works as billed.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I knew we'd be backpacking in the rain. I also knew I wasn't always going to be carrying my gear as we had hired porters for our trek. So it was imperative to have a way to keep my clothes dry. We trekked. It rained (and snowed). And my clothes stayed dry thanks to this bag.
Thanks Dave!
Quality bag!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My bag is 2.5 liters. It held my one long underwear, short wool underwear, a pair of gloves, long sleeve light wool shirt and my one extra pair of wool socks. Fantastic bag for me. I backpacked from Milan to Sarche Italy in rain and wet brush for 116 miles over a week long period. It kept my clothes dry. What more could I ask. Light/compact/dry : Quality. Now get this bag, smile and have a fantastic time :)
So Very Dry
None of my gear got wet on a recent rainy sailing trip. This is the sort of gear that you should always have on hand. When you need it, it's priceless. highly recommend for any outdoor gear arsenal.
Best UL Dry-sac sold
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I really like the bag compared to the sea-to-summit ultra sil bags. This feels better made, the top closure is a smoother material that will seal better, and the polyester is more slippery then the Sea-to-Summit making stuffing a sleeping bag easier. OR also has a fantastic warranty. None of these ultra light bags are ever totally waterproof, but I will update this review again once I get it in the rain. I don't anticipate any issues. The 10L weighed in at 1.4oz.
Alexander - thank you for the great review on the UL stuff sack! Not many folks take the time to review something so "simple," but as you write above, there are some great details that the OR sack has that others don't.
OR Rep
Wooo! If you can't tell I'm a bit of an OR fanboy :)
Great deal
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this bag a few times and it has held up well. I left it on the ground in a downpour and everything inside stayed completely dry. The bag is very light, so the exterior isn't as robust as a that of a heavier bag would be, but that's a sacrifice you make since this one is lightweight and not expensive. Great product.
The bag is tougher than expected. On my last trip, I accidentally left a metal fork in the bottom and piled stuff in on top of it in preparation for a bear hang. Even though the prongs pressed hard against the bag overnight, it didn't tear. Not saying you should try it, but it may be good to know.
Great to hear, Jackson. Thanks for taking the time to review!

Ultra-light is right!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Over the years I seem to have accumulated a number of down garments stuffed in their own sack pocket or stuff sack.Keeping all these pieces together can get to be chore.An ultralight dry sack is the perfect ticket.
Great lightweight waterproof
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Outdoor Research makes awesome dry bags and dry sacks. The stitching and seams are great. This particular model is lightweight and won't take a ton of abuse being tossed and drug. If you need a more durable bag or sack that will see the outside of your bags etc, get one of the non-ultralight sacks or even the "durable" dry bag or sac. I use this for ensuring my down bag stays dry in case of emergency.
LIght and Dry
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These dry sacks really are phenomenal. I use them as stuff sacks for my sleeping bag. The taped seems and waterproof fabric give me a little extra security on ski mountaineering trips while the taped seems and waterproof fabric allow me to compress the contents and seal it up as small as most compression sacs without all the extraneous straps and fabric of a traditional compression sack. It is definitely a piece that is a little fragile as most ultralight gear is but if used mostly within you pack it lasts and will remain unscathed!
Dry Sack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The Dry Sack kept our gear as dry as any dry bag I've had, but by the end of the week long trip on the Main Salmon there were little holes worn in it. I can't afford to buy a new bag every trip. My old bags have lasted 20 yrs or more.
This is the ultralight version. It works best with a bit of protection. I use this model inside my pack where it doesn't get a lot of abrasion etc. Due to it's low weight, I put my sleeping bag in this and put it at the bottom of my bag. I also own other Outdoor Research models including the "Durable Dry Sack" and some OR Dry Bags. They are more durable. the "Durable Dry Sack" has been tossed dragged and used outside of my pack. I keep my food in it and tie it in trees at nights... no holes, no wear and tear.

Procedural Text: Computer Coding Directions
Lesson 6 of 10
Objective: SWBAT describe steps in technical procedures in text.
Big Idea: How do procedural text help us in the real world ? As students explore what makes a computer so efficient, they begin to connect the computer's coding directions to procedural text formatting.
Introduction to Coding
Our district participates in a technology awareness activity called "Hour of Code". I see this as an opportunity to apply procedural text. The Computer Science activities involve coding, which is a symbolic language that the computer or robots use to interpret and transform into action steps, much like procedural text to humans. Also, students are introduced to another vocabulary word: Algorithm. Algorithm is a series of instructions on how to accomplish a task. So, there is definitely a procedural text that exists for computers and robots.
To begin, we discussed the two activities that we will incorporate into our lesson today:
- My Robotic Friend: This activity involves students writing a set of symbolic directions on how to stack cups into a chosen pattern. One student acts as a robot that will follow the set of directions the other team mates create. So, this student, who is the robot, is sent away while the team creates the procedural symbols.
- Binary Coding Activity: Students work with partners. One student creates a code using the guide and another student decodes the message.
Both of these activities promote understanding of how things connect in a procedural text because students must follow step by step directions created by students who must create clear directions for others to follow in order to obtain the desired results.
Students read the Directions for Activities with their collaborative group. They discuss the components that are effective in communicating the tasks involved in this activity. Students share their findings of this text analysis with the class. Our discussion revealed that the basic components of procedural text: materials needed, step by step directions, diagrams and pictures to model examples are incorporated in the text.
Resources (3)
Resources (3)
Teaming Together
Students work in teams of four to six for the My Robotic Friend Group Activity or partners for the Binary Code Partnering Activity. Each team is assigned one of the activities mentioned in the introduction. As students work in their teams, they focused on the accuracy of their directions that must be written in another language. It is a symbolic language for computers. I noticed that students were very engaged because they have to be precise with their step by step directions in order to guide the other team member to the desired results.
Resources (2)
Reflect on Learning
At the conclusion of this activity, students rated their performance on the rubric. They shared that it was very difficult to write accurate directions for a computer. We discussed further why it is harder to write directions for computers or robots. I suggested that humans can interpret procedural text with errors and self-correct. However, computers and robots follow algorithms the way the programmer writes them. They do not interpret whether it makes sense or not. Therefore, you must be exact when writing procedural text in technology. During a Student Presentation, one student tries to explain this process .
To meet the rigorous demands of Common Core, I try to integrate technology into lessons whenever I can. This was a great activity in understanding computer programming. The 21st century is very technologically advanced, however; not many students are aware of the programming involved behind the scenes.

ISOBOOT is automatically used if a linux ISO file is not contiguous and the ISO file is larger than the \_ISO\CONTIG.ISO file and if the filename of the linux ISO is recognised by the isoboot.g4b batch file code!
ISOBOOT is also used if the E2B USB drive is write-protected or E2B is booted from a CD/DVD, because ISOBOOT does not modify the contents of the boot drive.
isoboot.g4b is a grub4dos batch file that attempts to boot from a linux ISO by using linux 'cheat codes' which specify the name of the ISO file, so that linux can find and access the files inside the ISO file. This is similar to the 'old' standard way of booting ISOs (as used by YUMI, SARDU, PenDriveLinux, XBoot, etc.).
As these cheat codes change from distro to distro and even from version to version, it may not always work.
ISOBOOT is a 'final attempt' to try to boot a linux ISO before E2B gives up!
If only the ISO was contiguous, E2B would probably be able to boot it just fine!
If you are experienced with these cheat codes and grub4dos, you can make your own version of isoboot.g4b:
1. Copy the \_ISO\e2b\grub\isoboot.g4b file to the \_ISO folder
2. Edit the \_ISO\isoboot.g4b file using NotePad (it will now always be used instead of the E2B version)
e.g. an ISO file with 'mint' in it's filename will run the code under the :.isomint label.
You can edit the lines under the :.isomint label and change the kernel parameters
if exist seed && echo kernel %kernel% %seed% boot=casper iso-scan/filename=%ISOSCAN% -- > (md)0x220+1
echo initrd %initrd% >> (md)0x220+1
goto :ISOBOOT
To suppress the pause when isoboot runs, use (v1.78+)
set NOSUG=1
set redir=> nul
in your \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file.
- NOSUG will also prevent QRUN.g4b file extension suggestions from being displayed as well as the pause during isoboot.
- redir suppresses most E2B informational (non-essential) messages in E2B.

Geno Auriemma and Muffet McGraw, the two biggest coaching superstars in the game, will always remain center stage when Notre Dame and UConn play.
"It's a great rivalry," Geno says.
And, unfortunately for anyone but TMZ, perhaps, whatever is left of their personal relationship dangles in the public eye to be picked on and evaluated. This is more about human nature than basketball.
If what happens on Saturday was a boxing match, the pre-bout hype would be accepted as a part of doing business. I am certain ESPN2, which will televise the game, is more than happy that the Geno-Muffet thing rests almost continuously on the front burner.
Well, just so you know, on Thursday, told that some of his players hadn't been shy about admitting their dislike for the Irish, Auriemma did his best to temper the mood.
"I think hate is a strong word," Auriemma said. "I don't advocate it. What I think is, that [emotion] is a sign of respect for Notre Dame. Why would you hate [in a competitive sense] someone who wasn't any good that you can easily beat by 100 points?
"The fact some of them [the players] said that tells me they have a lot of respect for Notre Dame and they understand that if they are not careful we may go up there and get our butts beat. I like that way of thinking."
Also, sticking to the script he's read from forever, Auriemma reinforced that this game, no matter how important the public perceives it, is no more than a regular-season game that will neither enhance or hamper the title aspirations of either team.
"There is a big difference between playing in the Final Four and playing in a regular-season game in December," Auriemma said. "I've always said a December game does not decide whether you will have a chance win a national championship.
"I don't think I need to say anything or do anything to motivate my players. You don't want to harp on what's happened in the past [in the rivalry]. Players aren't stupid; they know what has happened. And teams change. … And I don't think the Notre Dame kids need any special motivation [from last year's title game]. We wouldn't need it if they were playing in Connecticut [on Saturday]. I don't think I need to work very hard to get my players fired up and I don't think Muffet needs to say much either."

Miraculously Versatile, I Tell Ya...
Monday, April 26, 2010
This scrapbooking kit is amazing! I'm thrilled with how lovely these pages turned out, but the "whack yourself in the head, why didn't I think of that" thing about this kit is that you can customize it to your photos. See those gorgeous hot pink accents? Look how perfectly they suit my photos of my adorable ladies from Creative University, sportin' their awesome Create U apparel. Well... hold onto your hat... the accents in the kit are white and you can color them with ink or chalk, any color that suits your layout! Woo hoo, that is the best idea evah! And to make it even better, the chipboard is printed with resist ink, so the printed design stays white, even after you've added color. There's one more layout to make in the kit, and I'm thinking of using a deep yellow to match my photos taken in the fall. Hmmm... or maybe a terra-cotta... oh the possibilities!
The right page is interactive. The photos lift up to reveal more photos and journaling.
Both pages, side by side.
I love clustered embellishments. A big POW of eye candy, without overwhelming the page.
Want to get the Miracle kit and feel all giddy about it too? CLICK HERE for details. Hurry, it's while supplies last and they won't last long!

Once in a while, I take pictures of my food. What, you don't do that? Sometimes I just think my plate looks pretty, but sometimes I'll photograph everything I eat in a day or even a few days, just to keep myself honest about what goes into my body. It makes me more thoughtful before I eat, since I know I'm keeping track, and let's face it, healthy food is just prettier than junk food.
Breakfast: Scrambled egg with mushrooms and onions.
Lunch: Pizza slice with mushrooms and ham, green salad.
Dinner: Thai chicken coconut soup.

Mini Album part 3, Paper Ruffles
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Remember my leopard print nails? I was shooting this video at the time, and even though they look a little odd with the lovely, traditional look of this mini album, there was no way I was going to take off that nail polish!
I've been meaning to create a video with the ruffle technique for a long time, so I'm happy to finally incorporate it into this series. You can use these ruffles just about any project, here's a card with a double ruffle.
Heart 2 Heart Challenge
Saturday, April 10, 2010
If you're a fan of Close to My Heart products, you'll love the new blog, Heart 2 Heart Challenges. This week, a color challenge featuring Sweet Leaf, Sunflower and Cocoa. I haven't created anything "just for fun" in quite a while, so this was a perfect opportunity for me to get my fingers inky and have fun just playing with my stamps! I've been meaning to use this darling set, "Smiles" and I wanted to play up that doodle-y look, so I used a very wet waterbrush to give a handmade, sketchy look to the image. I also wanted to keep the color combo soft, so along with the three challenge colors, I added a lighter shade of brown (Bamboo) and yellow (buttercup).

New York Gov. Mario Cuomo sharply criticized the Reagan administration's budget and tax reform programs Sunday, saying they place an ''unfair'' burden on the poor and middle class.
Speaking to a convention of county officials near Orlando, Cuomo said he believed reducing the federal deficit and reforming the federal tax system are both ''absolute necessities.''

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Lightly butter the paper.
Prepare the streusel: Pulse the butter, sugar, peanuts, orange zest and vanilla in a food processor just until the nuts are coarsely chopped.
Make the cake: Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a separate bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape down the bowl and finish mixing by hand (do not overmix).
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with half of the streusel and dollop with half of the jam. Spread the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel and top with the remaining jam. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cake cool completely, then lift out the cake by the parchment paper and cut into squares.
