Opponents of NY gun law rally in Albany
Opponents of NY gun law rally in Albany
Feb. 28, 2013
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — National Rifle Association President David Keene told a rally of thousands of opponents of New York's new gun control law Thursday that his group will help them ensure that the Second Amendment rights passed down to them will be passed on to future generations.
"We've lost battles before. We will not lose the war," Keene said. He was cheered by the throng that filled the Albany park west of the Capitol, many arriving on buses from across the state and advocating repeal of one of the toughest gun-control laws in the U.S.
"New York has proven once again that it can top Washington in terms of the high-handedness of some of the people that hold its highest offices," Keene said. "I'm here to join you in protesting the fact that your governor is willing to sacrifice the constitution, your rights as citizens and the prerogatives of his legislature on the altar of his own ambition and on the ego of Michael Bloomberg of New York City."
The law enacted Jan. 15, pushed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, sets a seven-bullet limit on magazines, tightens the definition of illegal "assault weapons" and requires owners of formerly legal semi-automatic guns to register them.
"We will not comply," the crowd chanted. Several protesters said it is unconstitutional, violating their right to bear arms. They also chanted, "Cuomo's got to go."
Cuomo, noting he is a gun owner, told reporters in Brooklyn on Thursday that gun control is "long overdue" and "politically controversial," that it has broad support among New Yorkers and the 30 percent who are opposed feel strongly about it. He called it "a reasonable approach" to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. "And it bans high-capacity assault weapons, which can kill many, many people in a very short period of time. ... I'm proud of what we did. I believe it will literally save lives."
A recent Siena College poll showed strong support in the greater New York City area, with opposition in many upstate counties. Mayor Bloomberg is an advocate of gun control whose city has even tighter restrictions than the state law.
Two lines in the morning stretched through the underground concourse of Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, with a mass of demonstrators waiting to pass through checkpoints and metal detectors to enter the Capitol. Several held signs with slogans like, "Don't tread on me." Some signs depicted Cuomo as a fascist dictator.
Extra state troopers were on duty. They estimated the crowd at "5,000-plus," spokeswoman Kristin Lowman said. No incidents were reported.
The New York Rifle & Pistol Association, organizer of the rally, and other opponents have filed notice of their intent to sue in an attempt to overturn the law. At least 22 counties, whose clerks and sheriffs would be responsible for registration and enforcement, have passed resolutions calling for at least partial repeal.
Thomas Hranek, an engineer from Endicott and military veteran with two sons in the Army, said it's a significant issue because the Second Amendment "undergirds the rest of our freedoms." Cuomo had been doing well until forcing through this law, he said, adding that he could never get elected president now.
"These are the people that make up the backbone of this society. You're looking at solid, respectable citizens," Hranek said, nodding toward the demonstrators. Several said it will make criminals of law-abiding gun owners, who keep them for security as well as hunting, when authorities should be putting actual criminals in prison for years to curb crime and shootings.
Cuomo has said the new law "will limit gun violence through common sense, reasonable reforms that include addressing the risks posed by mentally ill people who have access to guns and banning high capacity magazines and lethal assault weapons." He advocated it after authorities say a troubled 20-year-old killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school using a semi-automatic rifle and large magazines illegal under New York's law.
While the Cuomo administration and legislators are discussing possible amendments, the only ones disclosed so far would clarify that exemptions for filmmakers firing blanks and for police will continue under the new law.

Pate A Choux Recipes
Mini Keema Burgers in Pate a Choux Buns
What happens when you combine a classic American dish with recipes from France and India? The correct answer is mini pâte à choux keema burgers. These are definitely out of the ordinary, but they are fun and taste great.
Using choux paste, I made standard cream puff shells which I used as the hamburger buns. I filled them with Indian-style, spicy ground beef mixed with diced potatoes, called "keema". To reinforce the idea that this dish is supposed to be a burger, I added a slice of Gruyère and lettuce.
I was very pleased with the presentation; it really looked like an upscale hamburger. The flavors were fabulously sharp and spicy. These special treats will take you around the world with every single bite.

Gougere Recipe (Savory Cream Puff Appetizers)
Gougères are savory choux pastry (pâte à choux salé in French) appetizers made with cheese. For this version, I made a light pastry dough with Parmesan and Triple Cream cheeses, baked them to form hollow puffed balls and filled them with pistachio pesto flavored cream cheese, mushrooms and red bell peppers.
We hosted a dinner party this evening and these cute little bites were perfect finger foods. Next time you host a cocktail party or buffet, you might want to prepare savory cream puffs. They can be prepared in advance and assembled at the last minute. Enjoy!

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. – Bill Goldberg's first reaction upon entering his flood-damaged home in this popular Jersey Shore resort community was unprintable.
His second was that life as he knew it had just been turned upside down — along with his refrigerator, freezer, and kitchen and dining room furniture.
"Now it's a matter of figuring out whether I have anything left," he said Thursday, as he scraped a thick layer of mud from his home.
Similar scenes were playing out up and down the Jersey Shore and along New York's beachfront communities as residents were allowed back into their neighborhoods for the first time since Hurricane Sandy hit Monday night. Some were relieved to find only minor damage; others were wiped out.
"A lot of tears are being shed today," said Dennis Cucci, whose home near the ocean in Point Pleasant Beach sustained heavy damage. "It's absolutely mind-boggling.
"The worst part is the mental damage from not knowing what comes next," he said. "We're ready to start doing something, but what? What do you do first? When should you start doing it? Where can you put damaged stuff? When can you put it there? We're just waiting for someone to say something."
In the meantime, the shock from the storm was wearing off and the realization that this would be a long, sloppy slog was setting in.
"We're running out of clean clothes," Cucci said. "This is the last pair of dry shoes I have. It took the storm two days to wreck all this, and it's going to take well over a year to recover from it."
Barbara Montemarano drove with her husband Robert to see how their condo near the ocean in Point Pleasant Beach had fared. They dragged their waterlogged possessions to the curb, hoping to dry them in the first sustained sun the region had seen in three days.
"It's just sadness," she said. "It looks like a bomb went off here. There's almost nobody here; it looks like tumbleweeds are rolling down the street."
As for Goldberg, he said he had just completed a total renovation of his kitchen six months ago. The hardwood floors he had lovingly installed were now coated with slippery, smelly mud. A new dishwasher was trashed. A new refrigerator and heating unit were both wrecked.
Salt water was already starting to buckle the interior walls, leading Goldberg to fear he would have to gut the house down to the wooden frame and rebuild it from scratch.
"I don't see where I have much choice," he said.
About half of Point Pleasant Beach's famous mile-long boardwalk was either destroyed or seriously damaged by the storm. But a large central section of the boardwalk, lined with prime tourist attractions, including beachfront bars and restaurants, as well as custard stands and pizza joints, emerged unscathed. And most of the boardwalk's kiddie rides, the heart of the family-friendly appeal of Point Pleasant Beach, had already been dismantled for the winter before the storm hit, raising hopes of at least a semblance of summer tourism in 2013.
Martell's Tiki Bar, however, did not fare as well. The bar, which jutted out over the water on a pier, lost the section nearest the ocean. Also washed away was the bar's garish neon-orange plastic palm tree, a local landmark that could be seen from a mile away at night.
Public works crews were dealing with the aftermath of the storm much as they would a major snowstorm: Plow trucks and bulldozers plowed the sand to the curb, where front-end loaders picked it up and deposited it into huge dump trucks that carried it away. Crews were particularly busy removing sand from the intersection of Water Street and Ocean Avenue, whose names until recently invoked no irony.
While some residents were able to start assessing damage, others were still being kept away from their homes.
On Thursday afternoon, officials announced that residents of Brigantine Beach, Margate and Longport could go home. But Atlantic City and Ventnor, on the same barrier island as the others, remained under a mandatory evacuation.
About 400 people were sheltered Thursday at the high school and middle school in Pleasantville, on the mainline just in from Atlantic City.
Tracy Jones, 51, a casino cook and his wife, Konnie, 47, were anxious to get back into their Atlantic City apartment.
He said he'd seen one group of men claim to be a tree crew to get back to their homes.
"We're not essential personnel or lying about it," he said. "So we can't get on the island."
The Ocean County road department used rocks and concrete to fill in an inlet created by the storm to get to another barrier island north of Long Beach Island. The path — "I would not under any circumstances call it a road," said county spokesman Rich Peterson — has allowed gas utility workers to access the community and work with firefighters to shut off leaks.
As New Jersey residents faced the storm's wrath, others in coastal areas of New York did the same.
In Staten Island, teams of municipal building inspectors made initial sweeps of homes in the worst-hit areas, checking for structural integrity.
From South Beach to Midland Beach and other parts of the New York City borough, mounds of discarded belongings grew up to 6 feet high at many damaged homes. "Everything has to go, otherwise you start getting mold very fast," said Dianne Hague, who had two houses in Ocean Breeze destroyed.
A few U-haul trailers or vans could be seen in the neighborhoods, but most people could save little more than could fit in their cars.
On New York's Long Island, bulldozers scooped sand off streets and tow trucks hauled away destroyed cars while people tried to find a way to their homes to restart their lives.
Sodden couches, mattresses, soiled carpeting and furniture littered the front lawn of Frank Hladky's two-story home on a canal in the Long Island community of Island Park as he cleaned up Thursday. Strewn across a deck were utility-pole-size pylons and other debris from some unknown dock that the storm deposited there.
"Look at the devastation," said Hladky, a court officer in Nassau County Family Court, who added he's grateful that family members, who left before the storm hit, are safe.
Still the destruction was hard to process. "There's 40-foot boats, not their boats, parked in people's backyards," he said.
It left him recalling "that blank expression" on the faces of Hurricane Katrina's victims in New Orleans. "I know the feeling. The only thing I can do is just keep on moving, working, cleaning up just to keep my mind away from it."
Though Hladky reluctantly left during the storm, his neighbor Nora Kelleher, a retired NYPD detective, stayed with her 7-year-old son, Charlie.
But remembering the smoke from a brief fire sparked when her water heater was inundated and the way the tide raced in, she said she learned a lesson. The next time authorities say evacuate: "I'm leaving."
In Long Beach, City Manager Jack Schnirman said 500 portable toilets were being placed throughout the city of 35,000 people after 4-foot-high water soaked it in the storm. He said water would not likely be back on until early next week, though sewage might be working before then. He did not know when power would be restored.
As residents returned to assess damage, pick up others who want to leave or begin cleaning up, images of the storm's fury remained fresh.
Schnirman said three lingering images in his mind were of cars seemingly bobbing in the water, sections of the boardwalk landing several blocks away in a supermarket parking lot and a lifeguard shack floating out to sea.
Long Beach City Council President Len Torres said the city lost seven homes to a fire that started when a submerged car exploded and burned.
"We always knew this was a danger," he said of the unusual storm. "We just didn't think it would happen this way."

I joked in an earlier thread about trading flynn for desean jackson -- which realistically they'd never go for despite their horrible qb situation (then again, they do make crappy decisions at coordinator) -- but it got me thinking about another team with quarterback whoes, a knee jerk reputation for cuffing qb's based off of one off performances, and the pressure of expectiations to perform now; The Kansas City Chiefs.
These guys hate their qb situation so bad they cheered they're own guy being knocked out,
Our recieving situation is so bad we have Evan Moore on our team as an option to have a football thrown to him in the NFL,
imagine a rice,bowe combo on the corners for options to throw to. we'd probably have to peek at the idea of a real "veteran qb" type guy down the road but i have a good feeling about RW's health this year after making it through that first gauntlet. what do you guys think, do we do a trade like this?

Acer announced a pair of shiny new Ultrabooks at Computex and we were on hand to have a play with the new thin models.
To say that the new models were popular with the media attending the event would be an understatement, as it took us a good half hour to even get close to some of the products announced today.
The new Aspire S7 models come in 11.6 and 13.3-inches and the larger of the two sports a glass cover on the lid, whereas the smaller one has a simpler metal cover. Acer's big selling point of the two new models isn't the design, though - a vast improvement on earlier Ultrabooks from the company - but rather the touchscreen displays.
Conversationally the touchscreen seems more like a gimmick to us on a notebook, rather than something truly useful, although it was hard to get a good idea with regard to how well it would work, as Acer's staff weren't overly happy at letting anyone play with the new models.
At least we can't complain about the build quality, because Acer has really upped the game here with a solid feel to both models. Beyond the glass and metal screen backs, Acer has made what feels like two really well-built machines, especially compared to some of its previous high-end models.
The company was also tight-lipped about the hardware specifications as the Aspire S7 isn't launching for a few months yet and apparently it doesn't want to give away anything to the competition. What we do know is that we can expect an Ivy Bridge CPU in both models, with the 11.6-incher coming with USB 3.0, a micro HDMI port and a microSD card reader. The 13.3-inch model has a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a full-size SD card reader and a micro HDMI port.
However, this isn't all: Acer has thrown in Thunderbolt support in both models and this should make them more appealing for those looking for advanced connectivity option in an Ultrabook. We're not sure why you'd want to fold your screen flat against a table though, as Acer is touting the 180-degree screen hinge of the 13.3-incher as one of its selling points.
Staring at US$999 and going all the way to US$1,799 for the highest-end model, the Aspire S7 isn't going to be cheap, but Acer has at least raised both its quality and features bar a few notches, something the company has needed badly.

Disposing of E-waste
By Andrea Cannavina
Most law firms possess the various electronic tools typically used in any office: computers, copiers, all-in-one printers, monitors, laptops, cell phones, business telephones, perhaps even a flat-screen television in the conference or waiting room. Without these tools, it would be difficult to run a successful law practice.
However, once a piece of equipment becomes obsolete, is no longer needed, stops working, or is replaced, what happens to it?
If you are like most, you've never given it a thought and promptly discard your old electronics as you would any other office waste products—into the trash can or the office dumpster.
Turns out that is not such a good idea.
What Is E-waste?
E-waste—defined as any unwanted electronic or electric equipment—frequently contains lead, mercury, and other materials that are known to have hazardous environmental effects. The most common culprits are:
- Batteries: cadmium, copper, and (in older batteries) mercury
- Cell phones: antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc
- Computers and computer monitors: arsenic, cadmium, lead, PCBs
- Electronic devices: lead
- Fluorescent lamps: mercury
- Televisions: arsenic, cadmium, lead, PCBs
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has called electronic waste the fastest-growing municipal waste stream in the United States. The statistics are chilling. According to the EPA, some 29.9 million desktop computers and 12 million laptops were discarded in 2007. That's more than 114,000 computers discarded per day. In all, the United States generated some 3.01 million tons of e‐waste that year, and only 410,000 tons of this amount, or 13.6 percent, were recycled. The rest was trashed, ending up in landfills or incinerators.
Disposing of E-waste
So how can you safely dispose of your unwanted electronic equipment?
Before purchasing new hardware to replace older equipment, investigate whether any manufacturers offer discounts on new purchases if you turn in your old machine. If you have already bought your new equipment, don't despair. Larger electronic companies and retailers occasionally hold special events where you may deliver all unwanted e-products and electronics.
In addition to such corporate-sponsored programs, your municipality may offer its own recycling or disposal programs. Many offer drop-off centers. Research the Internet to find out what steps are necessary to prepare tech items for recycling or distribution in your area, and locate the nearest recycling center that will accept your equipment (try searching by ZIP code). Various types of equipment might need to be disposed of differently, so be sure to group your items as indicated.
The EPA website ( www.epa.gov) offers additional, detailed information, as well as a state-by-state list of waste management programs. Certain non-governmental websites also might prove helpful: The Telecommunications Industry Association ( www.ecyclingcentral.com/index.php) and the environmental services company Earth911 ( www.earth911.com) both offer guides for recycling programs across the United States.
If you don't have time to do the research and legwork, locate a local business that offers professional disposal services. They will happily pick up your e-waste for a small fee. It may even get you a tax deduction. There are also charitable organizations that can help. The Wireless Foundation ( http://wirelessfoundation.org), for example, oversees the Call to Protect program, which assists in disposing of cell phones and other wireless devices; all proceeds are donated to national organizations working to end family violence.
Of course, before donating anything, be certain that all information and files are removed. There are numerous programs to securely wipe the contents of any computer; one popular—and free—choice is Darik's Boot and Nuke ( www.dban.org).
Reducing E-waste
The number-one thing we can do besides responsibly disposing of our e-waste is to reduce consumption. One fewer item purchased, charged, and cared for is also one fewer item sent through the electronic waste stream. Here are some tips to reduce unnecessary consumption:
- Be frugal and don't impulse-buy your tech.
- Research all purchases from an eco-friendly standpoint as well as an economical one. Does the manufacturer use recyclable materials? Will the product fulfill multiple functions, allowing you to power up fewer devices?
- Power down your computer and printer each night, and unplug your chargers.
- Properly configure the electrical needs of your equipment. For a blog post explaining how to properly configure Windows-based machines for optimal electrical saving, see "Green Up Your Technology," www.rolandschorr.com/blogs/index.php/2009/11/23/green-up-your-technology?blog=5.
- Consider offering employees the option to telecommute one or two days per week. One day working remotely can yield a 20 percent savings on office expenses and electricity. The policy saves money, improves morale, and lowers consumption www.rolandschorr.com/blogs/index.php/2009/11/23/green-up-your-technology?blog=5.
It's Up to Us
We all must do our part to reduce the huge influx of hazardous e-waste entering the environment through landfills and incinerators. We can each do this by recycling, repurposing, and reducing the equipment we use each day—and by selecting more environmentally friendly devices going forward.
Andrea Cannavina is a virtual assistant helping attorneys and law firm administrators understand and configure a digital workflow to get more done with less—less resources, less time, and less stress. She may be reached at email@example.com or via her website, www.legaltypist.com.Copyright 2010

Health bills fail to block illegals from coverage
Health bills fail to block illegals from coverage - Washington Times
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants could receive health care coverage from their employers under the bills winding their way through Congress, despite President Obama's explicit pledge that illegal immigrants would not benefit.
The House bill mandates, and the Senate bill strongly encourages, businesses to extend health care coverage to all employees. But the bills do not have exemptions to screen out illegal immigrants, who usually obtain jobs by using false identities and are indistinguishable from legal workers.
A rough estimate by the Center for Immigration Studies suggests that the practical effect of the mandates would be that about 1 million illegal immigrants could obtain health insurance coverage through their employers.
Democrats who wrote the House bill said that employer coverage for illegal immigrants is not intentional, but rather the outcome of people breaking the law.
"It's possible an employee could deceive an employer with a fraudulent document, just as under current law, to gain employment, just as it's possible for all sorts of criminal activity to occur, and why we have law enforcement," said Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, who wrote the final House bill.
Republicans said that loopholes in the bill could allow coverage to just about any illegal immigrant who wants to cheat the system.
"This is a complete cover-all-the-gaps federal health insurance for illegals, whether it be under Medicaid, the refundable tax credit or whether it be under their employers who would not be able to verify their employers unless we fix E-Verify," said Rep. Steve King of Iowa, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee.
How to deal with immigrants, both legal and illegal, remains one of the thorniest issues in the health care debate. In his address to a joint session of Congress in September, Mr. Obama specifically challenged Republicans who said his plans would extend coverage to illegal immigrants.
"This, too, is false -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," Mr. Obama said.
That statement elicited an outburst of "You lie" from Rep. Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican.
Most of the focus has been on whether the bills in the House and Senate go far enough to screen out illegal immigrants applying for public benefits. The Senate bill is generally considered to have stronger provisions than the House version to exclude participation by illegal immigrants.
The employer mandate could play a major role in coverage for illegal immigrants, but the effect has not been widely understood.
Steven A. Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, said about 6.5 million illegal immigrants work in the United States, though nearly half do so off the books and wouldn't be counted for purposes of employer-sponsored health insurance.
Of those who work on the books, about 2.3 million already have insurance through their employers. That leaves at least 1 million who would need insurance and could obtain it from an employer under the proposed mandates.
"It's definitely significant," Mr. Camarota said.
Democrats said their bill doesn't change eligibility for benefits for illegal immigrants but it does change laws on who must provide insurance. Any employer with a payroll higher than $500,000 would be required to provide insurance for employees.
The House bill offers tax credits for two years to help small businesses provide insurance, including businesses that hire illegal immigrants.
But Mr. Elshami said businesses are already prohibited from hiring of illegal immigrants.
The Senate bill is more complex. It would urge companies to provide insurance, then penalize them for each employee who applies for credits for the health care exchange.
Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said the bill includes a screening process to keep illegal immigrants from getting credits in the health care exchange. But even illegal immigrants would be counted in the penalty against employers, so companies would be paying for having hired them.
"In this scenario, an employer would have to provide a responsibility payment for an undocumented worker. But that undocumented worker wouldn't be getting coverage through the exchange," Mr. Manley said.
Robert Rector, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, called the debate "an absolute charade" because Mr. Obama and Democratic leaders have signaled their intent to try to pass a bill legalizing illegal immigrants next year.
Once their legal status is secured, Congress would have to decide their eligibility for public benefits. Democrats have been pushing for broad inclusion, and their health care proposals give equal treatment to legal immigrants and citizens.
Republicans say the government should do more to push for a legal work force in the first place.
"If it was not bad enough that illegal immigrants take jobs that rightfully belong to citizens and legal immigrants, now they will get health care benefits that should go to Americans," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. "If they were not in the country, we wouldn't have to worry about emergency room or health insurance costs at all. And Americans would have these jobs."
A Congressional Research Service report notes that the House Democrats' bill does not expressly prohibit illegal immigrants from getting health insurance and, in fact, would mandate that they obtain insurance if they meet the "substantial presence test."
That test calculates U.S. residency based on the number of days per year a person is in the country.
You say who cares? I do. What's to stop anyone from anywhere in the world to come over and get their free health care? All paid for by the US taxpayer. So you believe that it's no big deal for the rest of the world to come here and get free health care?
The problem is that illegal immigrants usually work very low paid jobs because Americans don't want to pay a high premium for goods and services. Business owners at the same time make a lot of money from those people. I think that the problem needs to be addressed by preventing illegal immigrants to come but also by seriously punishing business owners who hire them.
What needs to happen is the abolition of NAFTA.
Free trade has devastated the impoverished Mexican poor and actually caused a higher rate of migration. Maquilaora factories pay dirt cheap wages and the land that belonged to local peasantry has been sold to American corporations. Now without traditional homeland and with only the worst wages available to them, they are pushing into the United States with greater frequency. And that is partly our own fault for exploiting them.
But it's ok for the US to send billions of billions of dollars A DAY to rebuild some ****ed up country half of the US has never even heard of but you don't want to spend one ******* cent for the citizens of the US for health care??? That's ****ed up!

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A survey finds that Illinois leads the nation in the amount "green" building space it has.
The U.S. Green Building Council announced its top states Tuesday for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — or LEED.
Illinois certified 171 projects representing 29 million square feet in 2013 — or 2.3 square feet per resident.
The Green Building Council says LEED buildings use sustainable building design. They use less energy and water, saving money and reducing carbon emissions.
Top LEED projects certified in Illinois in 2013 included the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie; a 57-story tower at 300 North LaSalle Street in Chicago; the Caterpillar Visitors Center in Peoria; Lincoln Hall at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and Springfield's Workforce Careers Center at Lincoln Land Community College.

Meridian, Miss. The mother of a local violent crime victim is making a plea to the public. Irma Jean Laniear's son was killed during a carjacking last month in Meridian. The murder happened June 21st in the 1800 block of 21st Court.
Courtney Laniear was in a truck with his cousin when they were both shot and carjacked. When the culprits left the scene, Courtney - who suffered a fatal wound - was still inside the vehicle. About an hour later he was found dead inside the abandoned truck at a different location.
It's now a month after the crime, and Irma Laniear says she can't start the healing process because her son has still not been laid to rest.
"They killed my son, and paralyzed my nephew," she said. "It has been so hard for me to get the money to try to bury my son."
That's why Laniear says she felt that she had no other choice but to make a desperate plea to the public for help in laying her son to rest.
According to Laniear, her 24-year-old son was not the target in the carjacking which resulted in his death. Still grieving, she says her family feels in despair because they do not have the money needed to bury Courtney.
"My people are helping, but we still need more help. It hurts me so bad knowing that he's laying over there in the funeral home," said Laniear. "He's been laying over there a month now, and it hurts me so bad. I can't eat. I can't hardly sleep; I turn at night. It hurts me so bad!"
Reflecting on recent violent crimes within the city, such as the one which claimed the life of her son, Laniear is also making another plea to the public.
"They need to just stop what they're doing, and try to love each other," she said. "Stop all of this killing. Put them guns down!"
With hopes that another person does not have to face what she's facing, Laniear says any assistance that can be offered to help lay her son to rest will be greatly appreciated.
"All I need is for someone to just help me; help me bury my baby. Help put my baby to rest. That's all I want them to do. Please help me," she said.
On July 30th a friend of the Laniear family is planning to sponsor a fish fry to raise money. At this time, further arrangements regarding that fundraiser have not yet been set. Meanwhile, Berry and Gardner Funeral Home in Meridian is currently set to handle the burial arrangements.

For the new model year, Moto Guzzi is bringing three variations of its V7 line to the United States with includes the 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer, and 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Special. Based around the Italian company's revised 750cc 90° longitudinally mounted v-twin motor, all three models also sport a cardan-shaft drive and double-cradle "Tonti" frame, for that classic Guzzi retro look.
The three Moto Guzzi V7 models should be popular with riders who are looking for a throw-back aesthetic, with a bit more modern engineering. That being said, Moto Guzzi has struggled for traction in the US market, due in part to an inadequate supply/support chain, but also because of some confusing marketing and segment placement.
While the Piaggio Group subsidiary struggles to find its identity, we think the company should further explore bikes like the V7, which provides a unique alternative to the standard modern-bike fare, and creates a bit of distance between Moto Guzzi and the rest of the Piaggio Group line-up.

Four years from now, it will be illegal to manufacture a car without a rearview camera. The new regulation is to meant to prevent back-over accidents from hurting small children and seniors, so who could be against that? Apparently not one person, because the New York Times story on this regulation features not one dissenting voice. No one who could say, "Gee, this will definitely add to the cost of new vehicles, making them less affordable and attainable for middle-class families." No one who could say, "This sounds like a nice idea, but must it be mandated by government?" Not even anyone to point out, "Hey, 85 PERCENT OF NEW CARS ALREADY HAVE THIS SO WHY ARE YOU WRITING A LAW?"
Rear cameras already are standard or optional equipment on 85 percent of model year 2014 vehicles, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That compares with only 5 percent of vehicles available with rear cameras in 2005.
Backup cameras have become more common since then, as consumers have started to demand the technology and more vehicles have been sold with big navigation screens that can easily display the video feed from a backup camera.
Some automakers have raced to adopt the feature. Honda says that with the launch of the 2015 Honda Fit, its entire U.S. lineup will come standard with backup cameras.
A rearview camera would have become routinely standard within in a couple years, but the American people can't be trusted with things that are "optional."
Why allow the market to speak when you can force people to comply with your will?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued new regulations today requiring all vehicles weighing under 10,000 pounds to be equipped with rear visibility cameras by May 2018. The new rule is designed to protect pedestrians from vehicles backing up into them, though it has up until now faced numerous delays.
Though carmakers like Honda and Toyota have already begun to outfit their cars with backup cameras, the regulations will apply to all cars, buses, and trucks for the 2019 model year.
I used a quick Google search of the sort the New York Times is incapable to turn up a Mercatus writer addressing the unintended consequences of such a regulation when it was delayed in 2013. It's a rule made for the rich, he says:
Not surprisingly, low income families spend less on private risk mitigation than high income families do. Similarly, those who live in lower income areas tend to face higher mortality risks from a whole host of factors (e.g. accidents, homicide, cancer), when compared to those who live in wealthier neighborhoods. People with higher incomes tend to demand more risk reduction, just as they demand more of other goods or services. Therefore, spending money to reduce very low probability risks, like the risk of being backed over by a car in reverse, is more in line with preferences of the wealthy, since the wealthy will demand more risk reduction of this sort than the poor will.
Such a rule may also result in unintended consequences. Just as using seat belts has been shown to lead to people driving faster, relying on a rearview camera when driving in reverse may lead to people being less careful about backing up. For example, someone could be running outside of the camera's view, and only come into view just as he or she is hit by the car. Relying on cameras entirely may increase the risk of some people getting hit.
The rule, which originally would have gone into effect this year, was delayed four times partly because of administration concerns about the price problem. Of course, now that they've imposed it, it is henceforth evil to wonder whether it is wise. Why do you hate children and old people?

Lea Michele looked as glowing as the award itself at this year's Golden Globes. The actress's skin was natural and dewy on the red carpet—the perfect compliment to her tousled hair and sequined dress. Celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis purposefully created a goddess-like beauty look to compliment Lea's white gown. The actress's subtle brown smoky eye and pretty pink gloss all came together with her gleaming skin to create a look that would get anyone out of a winter makeup rut.
Grab a bronzer and some shimmery brown shadows and channel your own Greek goddess to recreate the Glee star's look.

19 May 2014
This is an announcement of a possible offer falling under Rule 2.4 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"). It does not represent a firm intention to make an offer under Rule 2.7 of the Code. Accordingly, there can be no certainty that any offer will ultimately be made.
In response to enquiries from market participants, Pfizer would like to confirm the following in respect of its announcement of 18 May 2014 which set out its final proposal to AstraZeneca (the "Final Proposal Announcement").
In the Final Proposal Announcement, Pfizer announced a possible offer comprising, for each AstraZeneca share, 1.747 shares in the combined entity and 2,476 pence in cash, representing an indicative value of £55.001. Pfizer stated that this proposal is final and cannot be increased except in limited circumstances specified in the Final Proposal Announcement. In addition, Pfizer stated that it will not make a hostile offer and will only announce a firm offer with the recommendation of the AstraZeneca board.
The effect of Pfizer's Final Proposal Announcement under the Takeover Code is that Pfizer will not be permitted to announce a firm offer unless such offer is on terms no higher than those set out in the Final Proposal Announcement (save as set out below) and such offer is recommended by AstraZeneca's board. Pfizer must, by 5.00 p.m. on 26 May 2014 or such later date as the Panel may agree at AstraZeneca's request, announce such a recommended firm offer or make a statement that it does not intend to make an offer for AstraZeneca. If Pfizer states that it does not intend to make an offer, Pfizer will be subject to the restrictions in Rule 2.8 and Note 2 on Rule 2.5 of the Code.
Pursuant to the Code, Pfizer will only be entitled to increase the final proposal in the following limited circumstances:
- If Pfizer's share price and/or the dollar/pound exchange rate changes such that the indicative value of Pfizer's final proposal would be less than £55.00 at the time of any firm offer announcement, then Pfizer has reserved the right to add further cash or Pfizer shares to its proposal in order to restore the indicative value of its offer to £55.00 (but no higher).
- Also, Pfizer has reserved the right to increase its proposal if, prior to the announcement of a firm offer by Pfizer, a third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for AstraZeneca pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Code which, at the date Pfizer announces a firm offer for AstraZeneca, is valued at a price which is higher than the then indicative value of Pfizer's final proposal.
- If AstraZeneca ultimately decides to recommend Pfizer's final proposal and Pfizer announces a recommended offer on the terms set out in the Final Proposal Announcement, then Pfizer has reserved the right subsequently to increase its offer at any time. However, it is important to note that such right may be exercised only after Pfizer has obtained a recommendation from the AstraZeneca board of the terms set out in the Final Proposal Announcement and announced a recommended firm offer on this basis.
Pfizer has also made statements in the Final Proposal Announcement which reserve Pfizer's right to introduce other forms of consideration, vary the mix of consideration and reduce its proposal in certain circumstances.
A copy of this announcement will be available on Pfizer's website at www.pfizerupdate.com.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc and Merrill Lynch International, subsidiaries of Bank of America Corporation, are acting exclusively for Pfizer in connection with the possible offer and for no one else and will not be responsible to anyone other than Pfizer for providing the protections afforded to their clients or for providing advice in relation to this announcement or any matters referred to herein.
Guggenheim Securities, LLC ("Guggenheim Securities"), which is regulated as a broker-dealer by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in the United States, is acting as a financial adviser to Pfizer in relation to the possible offer and no-one else in connection with this announcement or the possible offer referred to herein, and will not be responsible to any person other than Pfizer for providing the protections afforded to customers or clients of Guggenheim Securities nor for providing any advice in relation to the possible offer or any matters referred to herein.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ("J.P. Morgan"), together with its affiliate J.P. Morgan Limited (which conducts its U.K. investment banking business as J.P. Morgan Cazenove and which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom), is acting exclusively for Pfizer in connection with the possible offer and for no one else, and is not, and will not be, responsible to anyone other than Pfizer for providing the protections afforded to clients of J.P. Morgan or its affiliates, or for providing advice in relation to the possible offer or any other matters referred to in this announcement.
Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code")
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.
Disclosures are therefore required in the shares of Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
Forward-Looking Statements
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Pfizer and the combined businesses of AstraZeneca and Pfizer and certain plans and objectives of Pfizer with respect thereto, including the expected benefits of a potential combination as well as whether a potential combination will be pursued. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use future dates or words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aim", "continue", "will", "may", "would", "could" or "should" or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. There are several factors which could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that a possible offer will not be pursued or will be pursued on different terms and conditions, failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or any required financing or to satisfy any of the other conditions to a possible combination, adverse effects on the market price of Pfizer's common stock and on Pfizer's operating results because of a failure to complete the possible combination, failure to realise the expected benefits of the possible combination, negative effects of this announcement or the consummation of the possible combination on the market price of Pfizer's common stock, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, general economic and business conditions that affect the combined companies following a possible combination, changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax laws, regulations, rates and policies, future business combinations or disposals and competitive developments. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by Pfizer in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environment, future developments and other factors it believes appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause Pfizer's plans with respect to AstraZeneca, actual results, performance or achievements, industry results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this announcement are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement. Pfizer assumes no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law. A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in Pfizer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2013 and in its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, the contents of which are not incorporated by reference into, nor do they form part of, this announcement.
Additional U.S.-Related Information
This document is provided for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Pfizer or AstraZeneca. Subject to future developments, Pfizer may file a registration statement and/or tender offer documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with a possible combination. Pfizer and AstraZeneca shareholders should read those filings, and any other filings made by Pfizer with the SEC in connection with a possible combination, as they will contain important information. Those documents, if and when filed, as well as Pfizer's other public filings with the SEC, may be obtained without charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and at Pfizer's website at www.pfizer.com.
1 This indicative value of £55.00 was based on Pfizer's closing share price of $29.12 and an exchange rate of $1.00 : £0.5944 on 16 May 2014.

Chinese Language Immersion Sports Camp runs through July 25 at UH ManoaUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Center for Chinese Studies
The UH Manoa Confucius Institute is hosting 21 motivated middle and high school students, ages 12-17, with little or no experience in Chinese, to participate in a three-week residential program.
The 2009 Confucius Institute/STARTALK Chinese Language Immersion Sports Camp opened on July 6 and runs through July 25. It is funded by $150,000 from four U.S. government agencies, and $17,000 from the People's Republic of China's Office of Chinese Language Council International.
The visiting students, half of whom are from Hawaii and the rest from the U.S. mainland, are living in Frear Hall as they acquire basic communication skills in Chinese. For physical activity, they will receive instruction in table tennis and martial arts, under the tutelage of championship-level instructors from the People's Republic of China.
On their last day of camp, they will stage performances to entertain and demonstrate their skills in Mandarin Chinese and of the Chinese culture.
In the same program, 22 Chinese language teachers from across the U.S. are attending training that focuses on innovative, meaningful activities for students, including technology-driven ones. The teacher-training institute began on July 2.
This highly successful sports camp is in its third year.

It's Official: Taylor Lautner & Lily Collins Broke Up, Says Insider!
We've long suspected it, but a new report confirms Lily Collins and her 'Abduction' co-star, Taylor Lautner, called it quits! What do YOU think happened?
Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins fell for each other during the Abduction shoot last year, but the handsome pair have officially called it quits, reports US Weekly.
"It was a clean break that Taylor initiated," the source said.
According to the insider, Taylor, 19, broke things off with the 22-year-old actress and model one week before the premiere of their movie in Los Angeles, which was Sept. 15. "At the Abduction party, it was awkward. They barely said a word to one another."
Although we suspected Taylor and Lily had split after not seeing them out together and his super friendly gestures to his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift, Taylor has been nothing but kind and polite toward Lily in recent interviews. He's dished about their "steamy" sex scenes and said she was a joy to work with — ultimately, he seems to be quite the gentleman.
Nevertheless, we can't help but wonder what caused the split. Do you think Taylor missed Taylor Swift? Does he want to focus on his career? Sound off below!

Dear Commissioner Christensen:
I am writing in response to Nebraska's request to amend its State accountability plan under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Following our discussions with your staff, the approved changes are now included in an amended State accountability plan that Nebraska submitted to the Department on February 15, 2007, which we will post on the Department's website. A summary of the approved amendments is enclosed with this letter. As you know, any further requests to amend the Nebraska accountability plan must be submitted to the Department for review and approval as required by section 1111(f)(2) of Title I.
Please also be aware that approval of Nebraska's accountability plan for Title I, including the amendments approved above, does not indicate that the plan complies with Federal civil rights requirements, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
I am confident that Nebraska will continue to hold schools and school districts accountable for the achievement of all students. I wish you well in your school improvement efforts. If you need any additional assistance in implementing the standards, assessments and accountability provisions of NCLB, please do not hesitate to contact Abigail Potts (email@example.com) or Zollie Stevenson (email@example.com).

Calculation of adequate yearly progress (AYP) (Element 3.1)
Revision: When making adequate yearly progress determinations, including calculating Safe Harbor, Nebraska will average the Statewide writing assessment results for current year and the previous year to determine whether the State, district, school, or subgroup met the target for the other academic indicator at the elementary and middle school levels.

Some dishes we had during our stay in SG, crab noodles, nasi beriani and 'famous' kaya toast. The crab noodle was ordered by D, I was attracted by the colours and the 'eye-like' dots on the shells. In my opinion, food in the food courts are getting more expensive than before. A plate of nasi beriani with stingray, sambal kangkong and tempeh costed me S$7, it will be around S$4 at hawker centers.
As for the kaya toast, it comes with various set meals. A typical set includes 2 kaya toasts, 2 soft-boiled eggs and a cup of coffee of your choice. I do not understand why this 'brand' is so famous, it tasted like kaya toast offered by any other coffee shops. I myself like kaya toast very much, just can't see any special elements in this brand.

Crowder's softball team was swept in a doubleheader with Jefferson College on Monday, 8-4, 5-4, but bounced back with a 4-1 victory in the first game of the Bucco Classic in El Dorado, Kan., on Saturday.
HILLSBORO, Mo. — Crowder's softball team was swept in a doubleheader with Jefferson College on Monday, 8-4, 5-4, but bounced back with a 4-1 victory in the first game of the Bucco Classic in El Dorado, Kan., on Saturday.
The Crowder Lady 'Riders dropped the first game 8-4 after the Lady Vikings scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to stretch their 3-2 lead to 7-2. That would be all the insurance they would need to pin down the victory as starting pitcher Megan Gurski kept Crowder at bay until allowing two runs in the seventh.
Gurski threw all seven innings and allowed four runs on eight hits with eight strikeouts and three walks.
Crowder out hit the Lady Vikings 8-6, but Gurski's big day at the plate was the difference as she collected two hits and four RBIs.
Madison Barnes started on the hill for the Lady 'Riders and allowed three runs on two hits with five walks and two strikeouts in two innings. Walks continued to be a bugaboo as the game wore on as reliever Ashton Worth handed out six free passes and allowed five runs — four earned — with one strikeout in four innings.
Jessica Neely had two hits and scored twice, while Payton Appleberry also had two hits in the game. Shelby Stuck, Carson Forge, Shyanne Nichols and Alexis Navarro each had hits in the game, while Forge drove in two RBIs.
Crowder trailed 4-3 in the nightcap before scratching a run together in the top of the seventh, only to watch the Lady Vikings answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the seventh to win in walk-off fashion, 5-4.
After tossing a big game in the opener, Gurski returned to the mound in game two, but the Lady 'Riders fared much better as they touched her for four runs on eight hits. Gurski walked six and struck out five, but still managed to earn the victory.
Tonyan, on the other hand, went 6 1/3 strong innings on the hill before Gurski popped a walk-off homer to end it. Tonyan scattered nine hits and gave up five runs — four earned — with no walks and one strikeout.
Forge had another solid game at the plate for Crowder as she went 2 for 4 with a double and a solo home run. Nichols also had two hits, including a double, and RBI, while Kala Crisp, Morgan Coleman, Stuck and Neely had hits and Stuck drove in two runs.
Crowder (25-11, 8-2 region) defeated Garden City 4-1 in the opener of the Bucco Classic on Saturday. No stats were available for this game at press time. The Lady 'Riders are back in action at the tournament today.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
S-Direct Gear
S-Direct Gear technology improves gear component alignment within the reel itself. By reducing any movement of critical parts within the reel, Shimano has eliminated microscopic amounts of handle play that existed in previous models. The result is an incredible solid feeling that maximizes the power and energy transfer when fishing.
Incredible Smoothness: The addition of MICROMODULE gear technology to Stella provides an incredible breakthrough in gear design and alignment that delivers a new level smoothness without sacrificing strength or durability. The reduced vibration and enhanced smoothness result in greater sensitivity transmitted from your rod, line and lure to your hand.
Total Protection: The concept of COREPROTECT is simple... to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection; the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.

For more information about the Rating System we operate see the Rating System FAQ, which uses the European Go Federation (EGF) rating system.
Many British tournaments are run on the McMahon system, which tries to pair players of equal strength. This relies on players entering the tournament at a realistic grade so that fair games between players can be achieved. Many European tournaments are also run on the McMahon system, so again we would like to ensure that our players perform satisfactorily in European events. Consequently the aim of our ratings policy is:
It is recognised that not all players are able to play in every tournament and some players' published ratings may lag excessively behind their actual playing strength. To address this issue, our policy regarding which games count towards rating points is as follows:
The policy is:
We encourage on-line players to enter over-the-board tournaments. In order to establish a relation between on-line server grades and our strengths we will be setting up a system to collect information from players who play in tournaments as well as on-line. Until a meaningful correlation between server and our grades is established, the following guide will apply for an on-line player entering one of our tournaments for the very first time or after a long absence:
We monitor the progress of our members' ratings and awards official dan certificates when specified targets have been reached. Official dan certificates are never revoked, even if a player's rating subsequently falls.
British Go Association dan certificates since November 2003 have been awarded based on our ratings, which are in turn based on the European ratings. You will be awarded an X dan certificate when:
In addition:
Players with official dan certificates are entitled to enter tournaments at that grade, but are encouraged to enter them at a grade equal to the strength listed on the current version of our ratings page, rounded to the nearest whole number. Anyone wanting to enter tournaments outside the range from their official certificate grade to their rounded strength should seek approval from Council before doing so.
We respect grades assigned by foreign Go organisations to those resident abroad.
In the first instance tournament directors are encouraged to be proactive in ensuring that their players are entering at realistic grades. The results of all our tournament are scrutinised and submitted to the EGF by our ratings official. If anomalous entry grades are present in the results, submission of games to the EGF rating system may be delayed and the following procedure adopted:
It is very much hoped that players' entry grades are essentially self managed, and much information is provided to help players determine their entry grades. However, if any player wishes to complain about the published rating of either themselves or another player on our rating list then the following procedure must be adopted:
In order to accommodate the varied ratings strategies in Europe, we calibrated our strengths against the whole of the European database of players. This was achieved by means of a least squares fit (linear regression) of player's ratings versus grade. As at April 2010 this gave the formula
This means that a nominal shodan (rating 2100) had a strength of 1.7d rather than 1.0d. It is for this reason that rating resets in the dan grades had to be very carefully controlled.
This was abandoned early in 2017.
We continue to monitor the rating/grades relationship to identify any action on our calibration procedure that may be required in the future.

There is an open source project going on to generate numbers from a random source. The process is made by using a CCD chip to capture some digital data, since the CCD responds to lighting there is a source generating random values of iluminance, which is then processed by some algorithms, generating unpredictable numbers. Could be really useful in the future of cryptography.

Looking to get more out of your bike?
Have you already installed a aftermarket motorcycle exhaust on your bike, only to find that the gain in power just made you want more? Well, the next steps are located here at Motosport. First off, why not replace your air filter with a high-flow unit? They're serviceable, which means you can clean and oil them yourself rather than throwing them away like the stock units, plus a whole lot more air can pass through them which, coupled with a nice free-flowing exhaust, can give you a noticeable improvement in power. Oh, and there's a healthy increase in sound, too. The industry leader in air filters is undeniably K&N, who makes filters for just about everything you can think of. BMC has upped their game with a BMC Race Air Filter, which they claim flows 25% more air than their regular filters, and they're available for a good selection of bikes. They're easy to install, easy to maintain and well worth the investment!
So you've done the filter, what now?
If you'd like to get that last bit of power possible out of your bike without resorting to taking the motor apart, it's time to take a look at the fuel injection and ignition controlled by your ECU, which is your bike's computer. In our 'Fuel Management ' section, we have a range of piggyback ECUs that plug in-line with your stock computer, the result being that you can now change your fuel map to eke that last bit of power out of your bike, dial it in for race gas, optimize it for the current weather conditions, and much more. With the Dynojet Power Commander 5 as well as the Bazzaz Z-FI system, that's only the beginning. An impressive array of add-ons let you upgrade your bike to include Traction Control, Quick Shifters and even an Auto-Tune system that automatically tunes your bike's fueling for optimum performance. Even if you don't pick up any extras, the ease of use that these systems have is legendary, even allowing you to try out different maps from the company that made your exhaust or even just your buddy down the street that has the same bike, by just uploading the map to the ECU via a USB cable. These systems are not for the faint of heart, not just to install but to actually tune it, so do a little research before you buy one. However, once you have it, you'll never need to change a chip again. Whenever you get an upgrade, even if you build an all-out race motor, you'll be able to dial it in perfectly.

Man arrested, accused of vandalizing Maria Sachs sign
Man arrested, accused of vandalizing Maria Sachs sign
BOCA RATON, Fla. —
A man got so angry that he punched, then ripped apart two political signs, police in Boca Raton said Friday.
A Boca Raton police officer said in his arrest report that he was at a gas station at about 2 a.m. Thursday when he saw a man "walk up to a (Sen. Maria Sachs) campaign sign on the northwest corner of Yamato Road and NW 2nd Ave and start punching it."
LIVESTREAM ALERT: Election Night Coverage On WPBF.com, Mobile
As the officer drove Charles Mitchell to book him at the police station, the officer saw another political sign that was "destroyed in what appeared to be the same manner" as the Sachs sign.
Mitchell was arrested on the one charge, but denied vandalizing the other sign.

The Police Science and Forensics Unit within the United Kingdom's Home Office has demonstrated success in using DNA to solve
property crimes. Many of the Unit's findings indicate that property offenders do branch into other crime, including violent
crime. In fact, findings from the U.K. indicate that a well-established DNA database can quadruple detection rates in some
crimes, and nearly triple detection rates in domestic burglaries.
Serious offenders are often caught because they are picked up later for a relatively minor offense. For example, in 2001,
British police arrested a shoplifter and took a DNA sample, which matched crime scene samples taken from a 1988 rape and indecent
assault carried out on two minors. The offender pleaded guilty to the 1988 offenses and was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.
In a typical month, DNA matches will link suspects to 2,500 property, motor vehicle and drugs crimes; 15 murders; and 45 rape
cases. More than 5 percent of the U.K. population is represented in the Home Office DNA Database, which contains profiles
for arrestees and convicted persons and spans both serious and nonviolent offenses.

Scripture: 2Corinthians 4:10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. (NIV)
Observation: Here is the purpose of our physical bodies. They are to reveal the life of Jesus. As we die to our desires, we become alive to His desires and our body becomes an avenue to express His life rather than ours. Many times it is the difficult things we experience that get the attention of others. They too experience difficulties and they respond in anger, frustration, etc. When we face the same troubles and respond differently, they become aware that we have a something different in our life.
Application: The life of Jesus will be seen in me as I respond in the same way He would respond to the circumstances surrounding me. If I depend on myself, I will fail. But if I follow His lead, He will help me succeed. It is not what happens to be, but how I follow Him in responding to what happens to me.
Prayer: Lord, it is obvious to me that I need you! Speak to me, as only You know how, and direct my responses today. Amen
