EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A Dallas trucker imprisoned for seven months in Mexico on accusations that he tried to smuggle assault rifle ammunition into the country broke down in tears Friday when he returned to the U.S., saying he had at times given up hope.
Jabin Bogan maintains he was on his way to Phoenix to deliver the ammunition in April when he took a wrong highway exit and accidentally crossed the border into Mexico. Despite his insistence it was an honest mistake, the 27-year-old was arrested and taken to a Mexican maximum security prison.
"Some days I gave up hope. Some days I felt like God was, to be honest in my heart, like God was laughing. Like he was just punishing me for no reason. I felt like just giving up," he said during a brief news conference in El Paso shortly after arriving back in the U.S.
Bogan tearfully thanked his supporters, and said that at times he felt like taking his own life or someone else's.
"I was the only black American person in the whole prison. God brought me through and I made it," he said.
Bogan was released from the Mexican prison last week but had been detained by immigration authorities until Friday. He was found guilty of possession of military ammunition and sentenced to three years, but the ruling was later commuted for time served and a fine.
He was arrested on April 17 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso. Bogan said he was headed to Phoenix when he got lost, and he told Mexican authorities that a law enforcement officer at the border had told him to continue driving across the international bridge.
Bogan said he attempted to turn back when he realized he had crossed into Mexico, but the layout of the traffic lanes prevented him from returning without first crossing into the truck inspection area in Juarez, where his truck was searched.
He said Friday that when he acknowledged to the agents he had ammunition, "they said, 'in this side of the country it's illegal to have bullets.' And that's when everything went upside down they took me in and never let me out."
During his trial, Mexican customs agents contradicted prosecutors' claim that Bogan had 268,000 bullets hidden under the floorboards of his 18-wheeler's trailer when he was arrested. Agents testified in June that Bogan was trying to make a U-turn back into the U.S. when they found the ammunition bundled on top of wooden pallets inside the trailer.
Bogan was arrested less than 100 feet from a giant billboard that reads, "no more weapons." The sign, unveiled by Mexican President Felipe Calderon two months before Bogan was caught, was made out of seized high-caliber rifles and ammunition.
Calderon has blamed lax U.S. gun laws for the flow of weapons into Mexico.
An appeal filed in August by Bogan's lawyer in Mexico, Emilio de la Rosa, reduced the charge from smuggling to possession of military ammunition. That allowed Bogan to be released after serving a portion of his sentence and paying a fine. He also was sentenced to supervised release, which he can do by mail.
The ammunition belonged to United Nations Ammunition. De la Rosa said the bullets would not be returned to the company.
A spokesman with the Mexican Attorney General did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Bogan's attorney, Carlos Spector, maintains that Bogan made an honest mistake. But he said his lawyers decided not to fight the case, in part because of the potential political implications.
"He (De la Rosa) knew the options were get him out in six or seven months or sink him with a 30-year-sentence. Asking for a not-guilty sentence was impossible because the Mexican government had to get something out of this," Spector said.

COOL•COTE® COOLWALL® Coating Systems represent a revolutionary concept in exterior wall coatings. Specially formulated to reflect the sun's heat, they can lower exterior wall surface temperatures by as much as 40 degrees when compared to traditional paints in many colors. Lower exterior temperatures mean lower interior temperatures. A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory showed that COOL•COTE® COOLWALL® can reduce a home's cooling costs by as much as 21.9%*!
*Percentage of cooling cost, peak cooling load, and surface temperature reductions will vary based on color chosen, geographical location, climate condition, and substrate type. Percentage of cooling cost savings are based on the DOE study which showed savings ranging from 4.2-21.9%. Percentage of peak cooling load reductions are based on models generated from the Roof Savings Calculator Beta Release v 0.92 Oak Ridge and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories when compared to a non-cool roof. In some climates, there may be a heating penalty.

Superior Industries announced the completed development and market release of a brand new conveyor belt scale. Designed to produce precision measurements, the new scale is available in two different models.
The WB model has an accuracy rating of 1.0 percent (+/- 0.5 percent). With independent weigh bridge brackets, it accommodates multiple belt widths and is designed for material handling up to 2,000 tph.
With an accuracy rating of 0.5 percent (+/- 0.25 percent), the HD model is built with a continuous weigh-bridge for increased accuracy and structural integrity. It is manufactured to manage up to 2,000 tph and higher.
The new belt scale is built with two, independent load cells. Superior said, because the two load-cell readings are displayed separately on the diagnostics screen, identifying malfunctions is made easier for the user.
In addition, Superior's belt scale packages are available with one of two integrator models, both built with easy to operate touch screen menus, diagnostic screens that show load cell outputs independently and recalls up to eight previous scale totals. An optional speed sensor easily mounts to most conveyor frames and adjusts to applicable belt widths.

The outlines of CPR procedures below are not meant to teach you everything in a time of crisis, but to be used as a refresher for a course on emergency first aid that includes infant and childhood CPR. The authors strongly recommend that anyone who cares for a child on a regular basis obtain such training. Courses are usually available through the Red Cross or a local hospital. Reading about the procedures cannot substitute for taking a course and practicing on a mannequin under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Further, these practices are constantly being researched and revised. Stay informed.
In addition to the usual mouth-to-mouth breathing, CPR can involve other procedures in special circumstances, such as giving CPR to a patient with a potential spinal-cord injury, mouth-to-nose breathing, mouth-to-nose-and-mouth breathing (as with an infant), and mouth-to-stoma breathing (a stoma is a surgically created opening in the body, such as a tracheostomy or laryngectomy). Only instruction and practice with an instructor in attendance will adequately prepare you to give CPR.
If your child loses consciousness, is not breathing, and /or loses his pulse, assess the situation quickly, call for emergency help, and initiate CPR in the manner described below that is appropriate to the child's age.
For an Infant Under One Year Old
Open the Airway
1. Hold your baby securely in the crook of your arm, face up.
2. Look to see if there is any foreign material in your baby's mouth. If you can see foreign material present, use your finger to remove it. Do not sweep your finger blindly through your baby's mouth.
3. Tip your baby's head back by pushing on his forehead. With your other hand, gently lift the bony part of the jaw (see Figure 3.2). This positioning opens the airway.
4. Check for a pulse on the brachial artery by placing the tips of your first two fingers on your infant's inner arm above the elbow. Check for breathing by putting your cheek close to your child's mouth to feel for a breath, and watch his chest to see if it is rising and falling as in normal breathing. If your child is not breathing on his own, take steps to restore breathing (see step 5). If your child has no pulse, initiate full CPR (go to step 9).
Restore Breathing
5. With your infant's airway open as described above, cover his nose and mouth with your mouth, and give two slow puffs of air, with just enough force to cause your baby's chest to rise and fall as in normal breathing (see Figure 3.3). Be gentle.

Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday denounced the Chechen brothers accused of planting the Boston Marathon bombs as "two twisted, perverted, cowardly knockoff jihadists," even as investigators scrambled to find out more about the suspects, one living and one dead.
Speaking at an outdoor service for slain Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, Biden explicitly connected the bombings and Collier's slaying to the U.S. war against terrorists worldwide. Preceded by a martial keen of bagpipes, Biden praised Collier as a "remarkable son (and) a remarkable brother," while his voice rose against those suspected of killing the 27-year-old officer.
"They know they can never defeat us," Biden said, adding that "it infuriates them that we refuse to bend, refuse to change, refuse to yield to fear."
Investigators believe Collier was gunned down in his police car around 10 p.m. Thursday by one of the two brothers three days after the marathon bombings.
Federal prosecutors have charged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with use of a weapon of mass destruction and destruction of private property with an explosive for the April 15 bombings in which three people died and more than 260 were injured. Both federal charges carry the potential for the death penalty or for life in prison.
Officials reported Wednesday that the 19-year-old Tsarnaev remains in fair condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he's being treated for multiple wounds incurred amid several gun battles with police.
Tsarnaev's 26-year-old brother Tamerlan died Friday after a late-night shootout in which, police say, some 200 bullets were fired and several explosive devices were thrown.
Additional state charges relating to Collier's death and the wounding of Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority police officer Richard Donohue could come soon.
"We have an active investigation," Stephanie Chelf Guyotte, spokeswoman for Middlesex County District Attorney Marian T. Ryan, said in a telephone interview Wednesday, "and we do expect to file charges."
Massachusetts does not allow for the death penalty, and the state last executed a convicted criminal in 1947. A short-lived effort to reinstate the penalty failed Tuesday in the state House of Representatives, though in a roundabout way that let lawmakers avoid a politically difficult up-or-down vote.
Across the Charles River, in downtown Boston, Tsarnaev also could theoretically face additional state murder charges for the three individuals killed in the April 15 bombings. For now, though, the Suffolk County district attorney who handles Boston cases is letting federal prosecutors take the lead.
"We have a team of prosecutors in place, if there is some change," Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said in an interview Wednesday, "but the district attorney believes that the federal statutes give federal authorities appropriate jurisdiction."
Through a multi-agency Joint Terrorism Task Force, investigators have been continuing to track the Tsarnaev brothers' footprints worldwide.
State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Wednesday that "some personnel . . . headed down" from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to the Russian province of Dagestan, a largely Muslim region about 1,200 miles away, to talk to the parents of the Tsarnaev brothers.
In Washington, other investigators trekked to a secure underground Capitol Hill facility late Wednesday to brief members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on the latest findings.
Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the House Select Intelligence Committee, said lawmakers were told that remote-control devices – the type used in toy cars – were used to detonate the bombs.
"The indication I got it was remote control," he said. "That says to me that you need some sort of sophistication to use that device to set off bombs."
The brothers appeared to live in very modest circumstances. They resided in a third-floor apartment in a shabby building in Cambridge, in a neighborhood dotted with upscale condominiums as well as auto repair and recycling facilities. Most of the windows in the apartment appeared blocked with cardboard, and a screen dangled from one window. Several neighbors said they believed the apartment was rent-subsidized.
The family and both brothers at one point received state public assistance, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services, said Wednesday. The brothers, though, have not been receiving benefits this year, spokesman Alec Loftus said, confirming a report in Wednesday's Boston Herald.
An attorney for Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, a Rhode Island native who reportedly met Tamerlan at a nightclub and converted to Islam for him, has said she worked up to 80 hours a week to provide for the family.
Both brothers drove late model Hondas, said Gilberto Junior, who owns a Somerville auto body shop just a block away from their apartment in Cambridge. Dzhokhar routinely recommended the shop to his friends who drove fancy cars, Junior said, but Dzhokhar was "just the passenger."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev purchased two fireworks-firing mortars, along with 48 pyrotechnic shells, from a New Hampshire store in February. The shells might have been enough to yield between a pound and a pound and a half of black powder, according to Phantom Fireworks vice president William Weimer. Weimer indicated it would have been easier to buy the larger quantities needed for bombs through a supply store.
"My assumption is that they probably experimented and decided they couldn't get enough, and went elsewhere for the powder," Weimer said in an interview from his company's Ohio headquarters.
Some stores, for instance, advertise online that they will sell up to 50 pounds of black powder at a time, for about $15 a pound.
The bombs apparently were triggered by a remote-controlled detonator, U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Wednesday. One of the anonymous officials told the AP that the detonator was "close-controlled" – meaning it had to be triggered within several blocks of the bombs. An FBI affidavit made public states that videotape shows on the suspects "manipulating" his cellphone shortly before the blasts.
The Boston street where both bombs had been planted along the marathon route opened Wednesday to the public for the first time since the April 15 explosions. As relieved residents strolled Boylston Street, businesses were beginning to reopen, many sporting "Boston Strong" signs in their front windows.
Public works crews were repairing brick sidewalks that had been damaged by the blast, and orange traffic cones were placed to cordon off the actual bomb sites, as crews laid fresh concrete over them. Several bouquets of flowers and rose petals were left at the scene.
Several businesses near the bombs sustained heavy damage and were still boarded up, including the Forum Restaurant, where surveillance footage taken from a doorway camera April 15 picked up the younger Tsarnaev walking away without the knapsack he had been carrying.
The Boston Public Library's main building, which sits along Boylston Street and had been closed since the explosions, also opened Wednesday and offered a free concert in the afternoon.
The library also waived its usual late fees.
Clark reported from Boston, Doyle from Washington. William Douglas of the Washington Bureau contributed.

Dr. Marsh's research interests focus on subcellular structure. He is currently involved in projects concerning the identification and characterization of nuclear matrix proteins, cell surface lectins, and the protein cross-linking enzyme transglutaminase.
Physarum Transglutaminase and its Substrates
Physarum polycephalum is a lower eukaryote that can grow as plasmodia containing multiple nuclei. Chemical damage of the plasmodia activates a Ca2+-dependent transglutaminase that catalyzes cross-linking of proteins in nuclei and cytoplasm by acyl group transfer between glutamine side chains and the e-amino group of lysine residues. Extraction of the plasmodia with SDS leaves filamentous envelopes filled with residual, ghost nuclei (Figure 1) that are protease sensitive and nuclease resistant. Protein cross-linking may block the spread of damage throughout plasmodia and prevent loss of cytoplasm.
We have identified the transglutaminase as a 101 kDa monomeric protein with half-maximal cross-linking activity at 0.7mM Ca2+. The transglutaminase is also an ATPase and GTPase with apparent Km values of 15 mM ATP and 30 mM GTP. Whereas Ca2+ is a positive effector for the cross-linking reaction, it is an inhibitor for the ATPase and GTPase activities. Conversely, purine nucleoside di- and triphosphates are negative effectors for the cross-linking activity.
The Physarum transglutaminase appears analogous to human tissue transglutaminase which is found in all organs and believed to have roles in apoptosis, α-adrenergic signal transduction, and possibly degenerative brain diseases such as Huntington's. However, few specifics are known about its functions in man. To better understand its role in the model organism Physarum we are characterizing cross-linking target proteins. LAV1-2, a plasmodium specific 40-kDa protein with four EF-hand calcium-binding motifs, is the preferred in situ cytoplasmic acyl donor. In vitro cross-linking with purified transglutaminase and proteins fractionated by DEAE chromatography indicates that LAV1-2 is conjugated to a small set of acyl acceptor proteins.
Figure 1: Ghost Plasmodia at Three Stages of the Cell Cycle
Antibodies raised against cross-linked ghost structures have been used to select target protein clones from a cDNA library. These antibodies lightly label cytoplasm of plasmodia but strongly decorate nucleoplasm in a punctate pattern (Figure 2). On immunoblots the antibodies strongly bind seven nuclear and two cytoplasmic proteins. Among the interesting target proteins are Nuclear Ghost Protein 1 (NGP1, comprised of a central domain with two RNP1-type RNA recognition motifs, flanked by N-terminal lysine and glutamate-rich regions predicted to form helical and coiled coil structures. At the C-terminus is a glycine-rich domain with GGRGGF repeats similar to many hnRNP proteins. The 61.1-kDa NGP2 contains a single RNP1 motif and possible CCHC zinc finger flanked at the N-terminus by 20 repeats with consensus ESGWGE(S/G)0-2GDK(E/EK/KE). NGP3 is a member of the UPF24 family of proteins predicted from ORFs in eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes but which are of unknown function.

PHOENIX (AP) — Jodi Arias testified Monday in her Arizona death penalty case that she chose to take the witness stand, despite knowing that prosecutors would chip away at her numerous lies to police and her efforts to cover her tracks to avoid being caught in the killing of her lover.
"Were you forced to testify?" defense attorney Kirk Nurmi asked Arias.
"No," she said.
"When you chose to testify, did you so do with the idea that the lies you told would be called into question?" Nurmi prodded.
"Yes," Arias said.
Arias, 32, is charged in the June 2008 killing of her lover in his suburban Phoenix home. She says it was self-defense, but police say she planned the attack on Travis Alexander in a jealous rage. Arias initially told authorities she had nothing to do with Alexander's death, then blamed it on masked intruders before settling on self-defense.
She is set to resume testimony on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez concluded his cross-examination of Arias last week after hammering her repeatedly over her lies and efforts to create an alibi immediately after she killed Alexander. She acknowledged that she dumped the gun in the desert, got rid of her bloody clothes, tried to clean the scene at Alexander's home and even left the victim a voicemail on his mobile phone within hours of killing him and dragging his body into the shower. She said she was too scared and ashamed to tell the truth.
Arias' attorney on Monday worked again to portray the victim as a sexual deviant who coerced Arias to fulfill his fantasies only to please him, replaying a recording of Arias and Alexander having phone sex.
"He had more sexual partners than I've had," Arias said.
However, text messages shown to jurors and recordings played in court during Arias' cross-examination appeared to indicate that she not only enjoyed some of the sexual encounters, but instigated them.
"It made me feel good to know he was enjoying himself," she said Monday.
Prosecutors are working to prove the attack on Alexander was a premeditated killing that deserves a first-degree murder conviction in order to secure a chance at the death penalty.
"Did you go to Mr. Alexander's home on June 4 with the intent on killing him?" Nurmi asked Arias on Monday.
"No, I didn't," she said. "That was never a thought."
Arias' grandparents had reported a .25 caliber handgun stolen from their Northern California home about a week before the killing — the same caliber used to shoot Alexander — but Arias says she never knew her grandfather had the weapon. Authorities believe she brought it with her, though she has testified she shot Alexander with his own gun as he chased her into his closet after body-slamming her and threatening to kill her.
"He was trying to kill me so I was defending myself," she said.
Alexander had also been stabbed and slashed 27 times and had his throat slit. His body was found by friends about five days later.
Arias has testified that in the months leading up to his death, Alexander had grown physically abusive and beat her on numerous occasions. However, no witnesses have testified and jurors have heard nothing to indicate that Alexander had ever shown violent behavior, and there has been no proof given that he owned a gun.
Arias told authorities repeatedly after her arrest that he didn't own a gun. That story changed after several years in jail when she admitted to the killing.
Arias has been on the witness stand for nearly two weeks. Once she concludes her testimony, jurors can pose questions to Arias via written notes provided to the judge, something allowed in Arizona criminal cases.

This illusion artwork has challenged my perception and logical thinking. It is not surprising why this Terrace illusion has become the most popular illusion artwork of Davids.
About The Terrace
This incredible artwork was David's first attempt to create a primitive image with non-photographic elements. The illusion of 3D depth in the artwork is fantastic. If you look carefully at the terrace, you will see that it is not physically possible in the real world. You can see that this image was created with a lot of hard work and the design of the terrace is interesting to look at. The terrace was created using computer software and photography. The artist used digital cameras set to 640 x 480 dpi and a computer that had dual processors and a GB of RAM. The image is a homage to one of illusion's great artists: Sandro Del Prete, and his wonderful drawing The Folding Chessboard.
About the Author
David MacDonald does not consider himself an artist, although by the age of eight, he was already taking photographs and starting to use a darkroom. He studied in a liberal school that combined heavy emphasis on the arts, disciplines of advanced mathematics and engineering drawing. He was able to develop diverse abilities which came together naturally in professional photography. He is an Englishman living in Belgium, married to a Viennese and they have two multilingual sons.
David works as a movie camera man and his role is to give life and atmosphere to a director's vision. He is now in his 48th year of working with film. He is an expert when it comes to interpretative role and the ability to add more dimension of visual interest and mood. Much of his work relies on playing with the light. He has had the good fortune to travel to both developed and remote places of the world because of his work.
He initially discovered a photo editing software that was bundled with a scanner and started to play with it. He was soon exploring other graphics applications. This has now become his passion equaled only by his lifetime passion for Asian and Oriental inspired cooking. His main interest is the creation of photo-realistic Escher like illusions, combining photography and computer generated imagery. A number of these are published in illusion books and can be found on the Web.
Thank you David MacDonald for allowing us to post and share your brilliant artwork. If you wish to see more of his artworks, you can go and visit his website.

"Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World" by Bruce Schneier
Got it at an ITEC show a few months back, wondering if anyone else has read it? if so, what do you think?
Read them.
Whats the book about?
lol I see you in CCNA Semester 1 also.
Its not software piracy. Im just making multiple off site backups.
I've read it a few months ago. It gives a good overview of the issues surrounding network security, going further than just the technical aspects.
If you are new to the world of network security, it's a very good starter book.
"To estimate the time it takes to do a task, estimate the time you think it should take, multiply by two, and change the unit of measure to the next highest unit. Thus we allocate two days for a one-hour task." -- Westheimer's Rule
i had to read it for my network security class, and didn't care for it. it really didn't offer any insight or solutions, just "you better secure your network or else!." the author was one of the designers of the blowfish algorithem, and a few parts about encryption were interesting, but nothing you couldn't find in a encryption text book.
U suk at teh intuhnet1!!1!1one
Book is cool. It tells you about network security like BrainStop said earlier.
If you want to read it. GO 4 IT!
Enjoy book!
I am half waay thru the book right now and like it. It gives good Insight to Crypto and some other things. Kind of Opinionated, but take it with grain of salt.
good so far!
You can tell lot about a person by how they handle these 3 things: Rainy Days, Lost Luggage, and Tangled Christmas tree lights
Nice book. I just started reading it, but it really opened my eyes to how unsecured many systems are.
This is an excellent book to have management read if you want to further convince them of the importance of budgeting for a more comprehensive, multi-layered security approach. I like it, but I immediately passed onto my boss. I'm my experience, most non-technical decision makers usually say, "well, we spent all that money on a firewall, isn't that enough?"
Eye opening book. Very good.

ASU Turns Pitching Duel Into Rout With 12-run Ninth Beating NMSU 15-0
May 31, 2003
TEMPE, Ariz. (www.TheSunDevils.com) -- Arizona State starting pitcher Beau Vaughan threw 6 1/3 shutout innings and the Sun Devils scored 12 runs in the top of the ninth inning to turn a pitcher's duel into a rout as the Sun Devils defeated the No. 3 seed New Mexico State Aggies 15-0 Saturday afternoon in NCAA Baseball action at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
The Sun Devils led 1-0 after two innings and then forged ahead with two runs in the seventh before blowing open the game with a 12-run ninth inning. The Sun Devils improved to 52-12 overall and advance to the regional final Sunday afternoon to face the winner of the UNLV/New Mexico State game.
ASU's scored the first run of the game on a two-out double down the left field line by senior third baseman Dennis Wyrick. The single tally stood as the only run of the game until the seventh inning when junior center fielder Andre Ethier plated two more runs with a two-out single to extend the lead to 3-0. The Devils sent 18 runners to the plate and every player scored at least one run in the 12-run ninth inning to seal the victory.
Vaughan, a senior transfer from New Orleans, was stellar in NCAA Tournament debut. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed only four hits and struck out eight in six and one-third innings to improve to 10-5 on the year. The ASU bullpen of Robbie McClellan (0.2 IP, 1 K), Bryce Karlter (0.2 IP), Ryan Schroyer (0.1 IP, 1 K) and Carlos Arguello (1.0 IP, 2 K) combined with Vaughan for ASU's 10th shutout of the season. The five Sun Devil pitchers combined to limit the Aggies to a season-low four hits. NMSU entered the regional ranked third in the NCAA in scoring (10.0 runs per game) and eighth in batting (.332).
NMSU starter Dustin Cameron had a better outing than the outcome would have it, giving up three hits and three runs in six and two-thirds innings. Cameron struck out three, but battled control problems with six walks and two hit batters. Cameron was saddled with the loss to fall to 8-5 on the year.
Although limited to only two hits through the first six innings, ASU exploded for nine hits and 14 runs in its last three at-bats. Junior designated hitter Jeremy West (Las Vegas) extended his career-long hitting streak to 20 games going 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored. Ethier went 1-for-4 with a big two-run single to extend his hitting streak to 19 games.
Sophomore All-American shortstop went hitless in his first four at-bats, but recorded a pair of hits, including his 34th double of the year in the 12-run ninth inning. Pedroia notched his 40th multi-hit game of the year and now has 117 hits on the year to rank tied for fifth in ASU single-season history (Oddibe McDowell, 117, 1984).
Game Notes:
The Sun Devils extended their NCAA record consecutive games scoring streak to 497 games... junior Mike Guerrero did not start, but went 1-for-1 with three RBI in two plate appearances... West (20 games) and Ethier (19 games) both extended their career-high hitting streaks... ASU is now 26-2 all-time against New Mexico State and a perfect 26-0 in the state of Arizona... making their 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, ASU improved to 126-51 all-time in postseason play... sophomore catcher Tuffy Gosewisch was 1-for-1 in five official plate appearances with two walks, a hit-by-pitch and a sacrifice fly... Gosewisch has at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games.
Ethier and West Extend Hitting Streak:
Andre Ethier and Jeremy West each extended their career-high hitting streaks in the 15-0 win over New Mexico State. West went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored to extend his streak to 20 games. Ethier went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored to extend his streak to 19 games. Here is a look at how the duo have fared during their respective streaks:
Jeremy West (20 games): .475, 38-for-80, 22 runs, 36 RBI, 4 2B, 8 HR.
Andre Ethier (19 games): .446, 37-for-83, 27 runs, 29 RBI, 3 2B, 3 3B, 7 HR.
Lighting Up The Scoreboard:
ASU has scored 10 or more runs in 34 games (including four straight) this season for a 10.27 runs per game average... ASU has also recorded double-digits in hits in 49 of 64 games... ASU's 12-run ninth inning tied for a season high for runs in an inning and marked the fourth time the Devils have scored 10 or more runs in a single frame this year... during the 12-run ninth inning ASU recorded seven hits and sent a season-high 18 batters to the plate.
Vaughan Wins No. 10, Records 100th Strikeout of 2003:
Behind Beau Vaughan's 6.1 shutout innings to earn his 10th win of the year and the combined effort of four relievers, ASU recorded its 10th shutout of the year. Vaughan leads the team with 10 wins and is second in the Pac-10 with 105 strikeouts. He now has recorded eight or more strikeouts in five games this year.
Great Pitching Leads To 10th Shutout:
Vaughan, McClellan, Kartler, Schroyer and Arguello combined for ASU's 10th shutout of the year. The 10 shutouts are the most by an ASU squad since recording 11 in 1976. The previous most by a Pat Murphy coached squad six in 1999. The Devils had recorded only six shutouts combined between 2000, 2001 and 2002. With nine more innings of shutout baseball, ASU lowered its Pac-10 leading ERA to 3.21, marking the second lowest during the aluminum bat era (1974-P) and the lowest since ASU joined the Pac-10 in 1979.
Pedroia Notches 40th Multi-Hit Game:
Sophomore Dustin Pedroia went hitless in his first four at-bats, but the All-American shortstop recorded two hits in the 12-run ninth inning to notch his 40th multi-hit game of the year. Pedroia has been hitless in only four games in 2003 (hits in 60 of 64 games) and enters Sunday's regional championship game hitting .419 (117-for-279). His 117 hits are ranked tied for fifth in ASU single-season history, now just 12 hits off the ASU and Pac-10 record of 129 hits (Paul Lo Duca, 129, 1993). Pedroia has now started all 122 games of his ASU career and is now 15-for-31 (.484) in six career NCAA Tournament games. The slick-fielding shortstop has also not made an error in the last 22 games.

There may only be two candidates, but plans for a debate moderated by Donald Trump are "moving full steam ahead," the organizers said Friday.
Only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum accepted the invitation from conservative media group Newsmax to attend the Dec. 27 forum in Iowa, broadcast on Ion Television.
Some other candidates, in declining, cited the possibility that Trump might make a third-party run for president, an option Trump said Friday he's not prepared to give up.
Asked by Fox Business Network's Don Imus on Friday whether he might back out of his role managing the Q&A, Trump said: "I'll have to see."

Phoenix College President, Dr. Anna Solley
(PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 6, 2012) ̶ Phoenix College president Dr. Anna Solley has been honored by the Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine Council with the 2012 Visionary Award. The award, presented as part of the organization's 2012 Women & Young Women of Distinction Awards, recognizes Solley for her ability to be innovative and make her vision a positive reality in the community.
The Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine Council honored three Women of Distinction and three Young Women of Distinction at an awards luncheon on Dec. 1, 2012, at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. The ceremony marked the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts and recognized Girl Scouts alumni and current Girl Scouts who are making notable contributions to the community.
"To be recognized by an organization that has roots within my childhood and one that is led by outstanding leaders such as Girl Scouts USA CEO Anna Maria Chavez is especially meaningful to me," said Solley.
A leader in higher education for more than 36 years, Solley has served as president of Phoenix College, the flagship of the Maricopa Community Colleges, since 2005. During her tenure, she has led the college to create a "one-stop" enrollment center to serve students in a single location built to optimize a collaborative approach, and undertook an initiative to increase the number of minority students pursuing math and science degrees. She also has been instrumental in the creation of the Raul H. Castro Institute at Phoenix College, a "do tank" that focuses on issues impacting Arizona's Latino community. In addition, she has provided executive leadership for fundraising that has resulted in the awarding of many scholarships to students at PC and has also provided executive leadership for successful accreditation efforts, capital campaigns and construction/remodeling projects. Solley has a passion for education and willingly serves as a mentor to employees and students.
"Championing student success, empowering others, enabling change, and promoting diversity are my passions," said Solley. "These values constitute my destiny and my legacy-to pave the way for others to assure their success in school, at work, and in life."
Solley is a contributor to both the Maricopa District and to many local and national organizations. She currently serves on the American Association of Community Colleges 21st Century Initiative Implementation Team for Community College/K-12 Collaboration for College Readiness, Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education, Arizona Women's Employment and Education (AWEE) Board as secretary, Arizona State University Downtown Business Advisory Council, International Consortium for Educational and Economic Development Board, National Community College Hispanic Council (NCCHC) as Past-President, Raul H. Castro Institute Advisory Committee, and St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center Community Advisory Board. In addition, she serves as a consultant-evaluator for the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association and is a member of the Institutional Actions Council. Solley is the Founding Board President of the National Association of Community College Teacher Education Programs, an affiliate council of the American Association of Community Colleges.
Solley says that being a Girl Scout has served her well later in life.
"As a Girl Scout, I learned to be very community-minded and had a sense of being a better leader," she said. "I remain inspired by the Girl Scout values of courage, confidence and character which are critical to our future."
Along with Solley, other 2012 Women of Distinction honorees are Darlene Newsom, chief executive officer of UMOM New Day Centers, who received the Courage award, and Jackie Norton, president and CEO of the Rodel Foundation, who received the Leadership award.
The three 2012 Young Women of Distinction are Mariah Neal, Paradise Valley High School, Visionary Award; Catherine Ayotte, Basis High School, Courage Award; and Emily Nugent, Highland High School, Leadership Award.
Girl Scouts also awarded three Promise Awards to Retired Maricopa Superior Court Judge Barbara Mundell; Eddie Basha, founder of Bashas' family of stores; and PANDA – People Acting Now Discovering Answers.
The Maricopa Community Colleges comprise ten colleges and two skill centers. Each college is individually accredited, yet part of a larger system — the Maricopa County Community College District.

I heard that DVD X COPY the dvd backup programme that the company is getting sued for breaching copyright laws aswell as many over dvd backup programme providers.I have a dvd burner and my question is if i went out and brought DVD X COPY now would it be much point?.
I know DVD X COPY can get around encrypted copy protected dvds but if the DVD X COPY providers get sued can the RIAA tigten copy protection and make the programme usless or is it still likely that DVD X COPY will still be able to get around copy protection even in the future long after the providers have been sued?.I asked this question in a computer shop where they were selling this programme and the man said hes not quite sure if it will still be able to in the future but
DVD X COPY 'taps' into the copy protection and gets around it.
So what do u guys think will DVD X COPY still be able to copy dvds in the future long after the company has been sued?.

USC remains the leader for junior DB Desmond Cain of Delray Beach, FL. The Gamecocks are his only offer thus far and he's also getting interest from Miami, Michigan State, Indiana, Central Florida, North Carolina and Nebraska.
Cain visited USC for the Black Magic camp. "I liked everything about it," Cain said. "It is so well-organized and they know what they're doing. I love the coaching staff."
Cain said he's not heard from his Gamecock recruiter Grady Brown in a while but that does not concern him. "No sir, not really because when I went up there for camp coach Grady really showed an interest. I think I should be alright," he said adding that he thinks the Gamecocks would take a commitment if he were ready to make one. Right now he does not have a timetable to make that final decision. Cain said he plans to call Brown Wednesday to reconnect with him.
His only visit this season so far was to Central Florida where he saw the Knights host USC. Cain does not have any other visits planned but wants to return to Columbia next summer.
Cain plays cornerback and has two interceptions this season, but he's also playing a lot of receiver.

Charlie and Casey are joined by CC for an all new adventure in Netflix land! This week, "The Colony" starring Bill Paxton and Laurence Fishburne!
Steve Watson's book "Before I Go to Sleep", a tale of a woman who's suffering from a injury that has left her without the power to save new memories for two decades, has been in the big screen adaptation bucket for a while now without much action. But today my friends, oh today we have news that Nicole Kidman is in talks to take on the lead role in the film. So I guess that's still not much momentum there. In talks could be she went out to dinner, got drunk and said something like "Hey! I want to play the lead in a movie that sounds a lot like 'Memento' but isn't 'Memento'".
The short film "Archetype", which tells the story of a robot that begins to think on it's own, has been picked up by "Chronicle" producer John Davis with plans to turn it into a feature film. No word on when the movie will start filming but I'm hoping they turn it into "Short Circuit 3". I've been waiting almost 25 years for that movie to happen.
I've never seen "The Day of the Triffids" and to be honest I thought it was a Star Trek episode until now but it looks like Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures has picked up the rights to remake the 1962 film. The movie focuses on a couple left with the power of sight after a meteorite shower hits the earth, leaving the population blind and giant plants growing everywhere. "The Trouble With Tribbles"! That's the Star Trek episode I'm thinking of.
Bill Paxton has joined Laurence Fishburne in the cast of "The Colony". The film follows a group of survivors trying to fend off a gang of cannibals after the second ice age hits. How do they cook the meat if it's the ice age? God I hope they answer that question in the movie. That's all I want to know. I'll walk out of the theater once they tell me.
How did two of the most brotastic of catchphrase artists in action-comedies come together to make a stark, seriously grim horror film? Surely Bill Paxton and Matthew McConaughey must have took one look at each other and decided the cumulative power of their screen presences would culminate in either an all night rager complete with windsurfing through the desert or a finely crafted, well acted, audacious flick.
Typically, I try to avoid movies starring Matthew McConaughey, which is probably why I waited until just a few months ago to watch "Frailty." I must admit, I'm sorry I waited so long.

Poland Prime Minister Suspends Any Effort To Ratify ACTA; May Kill ACTA In The EU
from the don't-piss-of-the-net dept
Tusk's backtracking could spell the end of ACTA for the entire European Union. If Poland or any other EU member state, or the European Parliament itself, fails to ratify the document, it becomes null and void across the union. As it stands, there are already five member countries that have not even signed ACTA.
"I share the opinions of those who from the beginning said that consultations were not complete," Tusk said, according to a report in Wirtualna Polska. The 54-year-old prime minister added that a Polish rejection of ACTA is now on the table, and admitted that he had previously approached the agreement from a "20th century" perspective, due to his age.

Oh my goodness, this is one of my earliest blog posts. No wonder there are "zero" comments-- I removed my original photos, because they were just terrible!
I remade this recipe, and revised it a bit, and I'm working on a new blog post. If you stumble across this one, please trust me when I say this is super fast to make, and really good! I think kids will even like it.
Still, this recipe was unanimously given four out of five stars by everyone. Just so you know-- five stars isn't given out very easily. I cook for a tough audience, but they are worth the effort.

About Feng Mengbo 冯梦波
Feng Mengbo is a self-described "video game artist" who uses new media and technology to explore Chinese iconography and history. He began his career with a suite of paintings, "Game Over: Long March" (1993), that depicts the adventures of a fictional Red Army character in a series of "game snapshots" reminiscent of Nintendo's Super Mario (the title is a reference to the famed military retreat that precipitated Mao's rise to power). Feng more recently took this interest to a logical extreme, creating the interactive game Long March: Restart in 2008 using the same main character. Controlled by visitors, the soldier travels along an 80-by-20-foot digital scroll, projected on a gallery wall. Despite his rejection of the label, Feng's visual and conceptual concerns align him closely with the Political Pop of Wang Guangyi and others.

5-hydroxytryptophan is a natural supplement that has been available as a
pill over the counter since 1995. It is sold by a number of vitamin companies,
usually in a dosage of 50 mg. Tryptophan, an amino acid found in our food
converts into 5-HTP which in turn converts into serotonin. Serotonin is an
important brain chemical involved in mood, behavior, appetite, and sleep.
Studies published over the past three decades show that 5-HTP can be helpful
in conditions that normally require prescription medicines such as Prozac,
Xanax, sleeping pills, and diet drugs. But how safe is 5-HTP?
Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., one of the world's foremost experts on natural
supplements, and author of the newly published 5-HTP: Nature's Serotonin
Solution (Avery, 1998, $10.95) believes 5-HTP holds a great deal of promise.
"5-HTP helps control appetite, improve mood, and reduce anxiety. However,
consumers must be cautious. Few long-term studies are available to determine
5-HTP's safety. Until we learn more about this interesting supplement, I
recommend consumers to not continuously use 5-HTP longer than three months
without a break." Sahelian also recommends physician supervision.
In his clinical practice Dr. Sahelian has observed that side effects with
5-THP can include nausea, daytime sleepiness, and nightmares.
For more information, see Dr. Sahelian's web site for the latest updates at www.raysahelian.com

Watching land swaps in Idaho and the West
For Western Pacific Timber and its then-President and CEO Tim Blixseth, the spring of 2006 promised big business. The company had recently purchased 39,371 acres in the Clearwater National Forest in the Upper Lochsa, on the Idaho-Montana border. The Lewis and Clark trail winds through here, and the rivers and woods are home to threatened steelhead, bull trout and Canada lynx. Foresters and conservationists had wanted to consolidate ownership of the checker-boarded territory for years, and Blixseth knew it.
So he gathered a handful of Forest Service managers in a corner office of Western Pacific's Boise high-rise and offered to exchange the Upper Lochsa for part of the Payette National Forest around McCall, a popular Idaho ski town.
Blixseth had reason to be optimistic. In the early 1990s, he and his partners threatened development and ultimately traded 101,000 private acres north of Yellowstone National Park for $25 million and 47,000 public acres of prime Montana timberland. Blixseth made tens of millions of dollars from subsequent timber and land sales and used a portion to build the Yellowstone Club, an exclusive resort that he later lost in a divorce.
But the climate for such swaps has changed since the early days. In the '80s and '90s, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management lost money and crucial habitat in major land exchanges that favored private parties. Agencies are required to ensure that transactions 'serve the public interest,' with the new land's value at least equal to that of the land exchanged. But the statutes are ambiguous, and speculators can make huge profits from swaps; Tom Chapman, a notorious Colorado developer, made millions this way. Increased scrutiny from both the government and the public over the last decade has forced the feds to get better at vetting deals, and it's pushed those who initiate them to come up with more favorable proposals.
Now, six years later, Western Pacific is still slogging through the federal review process. Payette managers rejected its initial proposal, saying it didn't serve the public interest, and the company's had a hard time convincing people that it's a good idea to trade locally cherished hunting and fishing grounds for land elsewhere in the state. A final decision is expected in November but will probably be delayed. The era of easy land exchanges appears to be over.
'There's concern about giving up public lands because they're so important,' says Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. 'The public doesn't want to give up any part of the national forest even if there's strong acreage to gain.'
Large businesses or private landowners initiate most swaps to improve access, acquire property leased from the government, or simply consolidate holdings. Exchanges can be conducted through the local office of the relevant federal land agency, or through legislation. Administrative swaps are subject to the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires officials to review environmental impacts and allow public input. The legislative route rarely circumvents those hoops and doesn't necessarily speed up deals. Proponents draft a bill, find a congressional sponsor and hope for a favorable vote in D.C. But exchanges can be controversial, and politicians are often reluctant to sign on.
Swaps started getting stickier in 2000, when the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress' nonpartisan research arm, released a fiercely critical report. It discovered that although the Forest Service was getting more acres than it gave away, those acres were worth about half as much as the land exchanged. The BLM also traded for less valuable private parcels, and sometimes ignored the findings of its chief appraiser. In three 1998 exchanges, the agency acquired land in Nevada that was overvalued by $8.8 million. The GAO even found one private party who acquired federal lands and quickly sold them for two and six times more than their government-assessed value. The GAO concluded sternly, 'Congress may wish to consider directing both agencies to discontinue their land exchange programs.'
'For the most part, I think people were less aware that these deals were happening,' says Janine Blaeloch, founder and director of the Western Lands Project, a nonprofit that watchdogs land exchanges. The agencies 'treated these as real estate transactions, and even though they were supposed to follow NEPA, (private parties) were able to take advantage because nobody really paid attention to them.'

Should Maine's Forest Rangers Be Armed? The Task Force Continues its Review
Should Maine Forest Rangers be armed?
That was a topic of discussion that got a lot of attention from lawmakers in Augusta earlier this year, and the task force currently reviewing all of Maine's Natural Resources Law Enforcement continues its work to have a final list of recommendations ready for Governor LePage in November.
Public Safety Commissioner, and task force Chair, John Morris says there are still a few more meetings for the task force ahead, but sentiment being expressed by the committee is largely in favor of arming Maine's Forest Rangers.
"There's some people who feel that the Rangers are in harms way at times and others who feel that they are not,so,we're still working towards a conclusion on whether or not rangers should be armed," states Morris. "The vote that was taken yesterday by the committee had a majority of people indicating that Rangers should be armed based on a number of caveats."
Some of the questions that still remain according to Morris is whether or not all of the Rangers should be armed, or just some, and how will the equipment and training be paid for.
Commissioner Morris says the committee is also tasked with reviewing all branches of Natural Resources Law Enforcement in Maine which includes Rangers, Marine Patrol and Game Wardens, to determine if there are any redundancies of mission.
Depending on the recommendations of the task force Governor LePage may be able to act on them independently, or they may require legislative action, especially considering the need for appropriations to support equipment and firearms training.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A Gaza health official says a Palestinian man was electrocuted after being struck by a power cable snapped loose by ferocious winter winds, while a rare snowstorm paralyzed traffic in Jerusalem, its suburbs and the nearby West Bank.
Ashraf al-Kidra says the 24-year-old died late Wednesday in the accident, which left four others injured. While heavy rains have subsided, wind gusts continue to wreak havoc with the territory's electrical supply, and power has been cut off this week for up to 14 hours a day.
On Thursday, several inches of snow piled up in Jerusalem, its environs and the West Bank for the first time in five years, shuttering schools and crippling transportation.

For growers who want it all — productivity, versatility, performance and power — Case IH is extending its Puma line of tractors with four new models.
"These new models are built on a shorter wheelbase, making them the perfect multi-purpose workhorse," says Ron Morishita, Case IH marketing manager for Puma tractors. "From handling livestock and hay chores to fieldwork and spraying for row crops, this machine offers all-around utility. It's like having a new, hard working hired man that can do most any job — and do it quickly — while saving you money."
Four new, short wheelbase models will join the current Puma lineup:
- Puma 115 with 95 PTO HP;
- Puma 125 with 105 PTO HP;
- Puma 140 with 120 PTO HP;
- Puma 155 with 135 PTO HP.
All models come equipped with a proven Case IH 6.75L (411 cu. in.) Tier 3-compliant engine that offers plenty of power, growing 30 or more horsepower for tough pulling applications. "Power Boost allows the operator to move through tough crop conditions or steep inclines without losing speed or productivity," Morishita adds.
"The two-setting constant engine speed provides constant engine rpm and PTO speed regardless of load variation — giving you more control over managing your power and fuel usage."
The standard, Power Shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears is proven by years of durability in the field. It features the Auto-Shift system for both field and road that is standard on the new Puma models. "Auto-Shift provides automatic shifting based on load, which increases productivity and fuel economy," says Morishita. "In addition, a 10×5 creeper gear option offers the right speed to match your job."
An optional 19×6 EconoGear Full PowerShift transmission with creeper gears will save fuel when transporting long distances, running at a lower engine rpm at the same top speed of 25 mph. The 19×6 Full PowerShift transmission provides a 19th High-Speed Gear option, allowing the operator to run up to 31 mph, saving time when transporting long distances.
"Some customers want all the speed they can get, because they need to cover a lot of ground quickly," Morishita explains. "Others would rather save fuel by reducing engine rpm. With this machine, both options are available."
The new Puma models also have a convenient switch that provides maximum joystick versatility to operate the electro-hydraulic rear remote or the mid-mount valves. "Normally the joystick is used to operate the loader," says Morishita. "This enables you to use it with the loader, as well as anything else you want to hook up to the front or rear hydraulics."
To save time, forward and reverse shuttling can be reached from the steering wheel, without clutching or shifting. "There's a little lever on the left side of the steering wheel that acts like an automatic transmission. You flip it up and the tractor goes forward, down for reverse. So if you're using a loader all day, hauling manure or hay, you can save a lot of time," Morishita says.
Another new option, Turn Assist steering, also comes in handy for close loader work. Turn Assist accelerates the turning action while minimizing operator effort. It allows full left- or right-hand turn by moving the steering wheel just 10 degrees, and works at speeds of up to 6 mph.
The SurroundVision cab has 67 square feet of glass, for excellent visibility for all applications. "It's the latest evolution of proven cab technology employed in the highly successful Case IH Maxxum, long-wheel base Puma and Magnum tractors," Morishita notes. In addition, it has an optional high-visibility window in the roof, so the operator can see the loader in the raised position.
For improved visibility to the row, the new Puma models also feature a narrow front hood design, and the steering console is narrower compared to other Case IH tractor cabs. "Meanwhile, the optional Smart Suspension suspended axle provides a more comfortable ride, as well as 18 percent better traction efficiency.
"Puma tractors provide outstanding weight-to-horsepower ratios for excellent fuel economy," Morishita says, "along with unmatched versatility. A wide range of loader attachments is available, including bale probes, pallet forks, manure forks, bale and silage grapples, as well as 65 other attachments. It's the perfect tractor if you've got crops and livestock — and you're looking for a multi-purpose machine that increases your productivity and improves your bottom line."
