Civilian Deaths Up Tensions In Afghanistan
NATO said it accidentally killed three children in an artillery strike in eastern Afghanistan. It said NATO forces fired the rounds after insurgents attacked its patrol in Gayan district of Paktika province and one of the rounds hit a house, killing three children and injuring seven civilians.
In a separate incident, foreign and Afghan forces killed a man and his two children and during a raid near Kabul, police and witnesses said. Angry men gathered at the victims' house in the Utkheil area east of the capital, where the three bodies were displayed inside a mud-walled compound. The man's wife was wounded in the operation, said Yahya Khan, a cousin.
In another sign of the sensitivity over civilian deaths, NATO issued an unusual statement warning that the Taliban planned to make a false claim about the killings of civilians in the south.
The latest deaths deepened strains between the Afghan government -- under pressure from an increasingly irate public - and foreign forces in the country who are accused of killing dozens of civilians only in the past few weeks.
Afghan officials accuse foreign forces of killing up to 90 civilians during an Aug. 22 operation in the country's west. The U.S. denies the accusation, saying its troops and Afghan commandos killed 25 militants and five civilians in the operation.
The raid in the eastern outskirts of Kabul was conducted by U.S. troops backed by Afghan intelligence agents, said police officer Qubaidullah, who like many Afghans goes by one name. He said the raid killed a man and two of his children and wounded his wife.
The raid left the house with broken windows and bullet holes in the walls. Three other men, all the victims' cousins, were detained during the operation but later released, Khan said.
U.S. coalition spokesman 1st Lt. Nathan Perry said no American troops took part in the operation. NATO-led forces said they had no information about the raid and could not confirm their troops participated either.
Separately, NATO said it was anticipating a Taliban claim of further civilian casualties in the south. In a statement late Sunday, NATO said it had received information from "a reliable source" that insurgents planned to falsely claim international military forces killed up to 70 civilians in Sangin district in southern Helmand province.
The military alliance also said its forces had helped more than 20 wounded civilians who approached two of its bases in Helmand province.
NATO said the civilians were wounded in two separate incidents involving insurgents.
"Insurgents ransacked three compounds and killed three women and an unspecified number of children," in Helmand's Sarevan Qaleh village, NATO said in a statement, quoting one of those wounded. "He then reported that the insurgents had shot him in both kneecaps before fleeing," it said.
The claims could not be independently verified and have not been reported by Afghan authorities.
NATO said it condemns the "use of the plight of innocent civilians for propaganda gain by insurgents."
The warning of a possible civilian casualty claim came hours after the separate U.S.-led coalition command said its troops killed more than 220 insurgents in a week of fighting in the same province. The coalition did not say where the militants were killed.
It was unclear whether the two reports were related.
The issue of civilian deaths is a particularly sensitive topic in Afghanistan following the Aug. 22 bombing of the village of Azizabad in Herat province by the U.S.-led coalition. An Afghan government commission said 90 civilians were killed, a finding backed by a preliminary U.N. report.
The U.S. military has said 25 militants and five civilians were killed, and that it is investigating the incident.
The U.S. has long said insurgents use false civilian death claims as a propaganda tool to undermine support for international forces and the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Claims of civilian deaths can be tricky. Relatives of Afghan victims are given condolence payments by the government and the international military forces, providing an incentive to make false claims.
But Karzai has castigated Western military commanders over civilian deaths resulting from their raids. The Taliban and other insurgents use the deaths as leverage to turn Afghans away from the government, he says.
The top NATO spokesman in Afghanistan, Brig. Gen. Richard Blanchette, said Saturday that the U.S.-led coalition, Afghan government and United Nations would jointly investigate the Aug. 22 raid.

Wednesday's CNET Update won't cut you off:
Instagram and Twitter aren't playing nice, and it's annoying users. As the two services compete in the photo-sharing space, Instagram stopped supporting a key Twitter feature that helps display media inside a tweet. The casual user won't notice anything different on the Twitter website. But on Twitter's mobile app, you will notice that Instagram photos are no longer properly formatted to fit.
Why would Instagram spoil the appearance of photos shared on Twitter? Because Facebook-owned Instagram is growing its website and wants you to stay on its app. It's all about money.
Also in today's tech rundown:
- iPhone 5S already? Possible photos of the next iPhone are posted online.
- Netflix signs an unprecedented movie deal with Disney.
- Amazon launched a kid service for the Kindle called FreeTime Unlimited.
- Sonos app upgrade adds music streaming feature for iOS devices.
- Google's Street View is coming to the Wii U in January.

MIAMI -- A Chicago Bears fullback faces charges after he allegedly refused to cooperate with officers when a car he was riding in crashed, Miami Beach police reported.
Evan Rodriguez, 24, was arrested early Thursday. According to jail records, he was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer at 5:32 a.m. He was released several hours later on $1,500 bail.
URLACHER'S NEXT STOP: Eight possible new teams
Police provided the following account in an arrest report:
Rodriguez was riding with another man when they got into a crash around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. An officer asked Rodriguez for his identification for the crash report, and Rodriguez reportedly responded, "For what, I don't need this, I'm an NFL player. I don't need all that media stuff."
Rodriguez eventually handed over his ID but then walked away several minutes later without it. An officer told the driver to call Rodriguez and have him return to the crash scene, and Rodriguez came back.
DUPER IN TROUBLE: Cops say ex-Dolphin WR beat his son
After returning, Rodriguez approached the officer administering a roadside sobriety test to the driver, police said. Rodriguez was told several times to wait on a sidewalk.
Rodriguez reportedly said, "I'm hard-headed like that, and I don't have to listen."
Rodriguez eventually went to the sidewalk but then stepped in front of a police car and began yelling to the driver, "Hey, man, you don't have to do that."
Officers told Rodriguez that he was interfering with a police investigation and would be subject to arrest. Rodriguez went back to the side, complaining that he had been knocked out in the crash, and the officers didn't do anything.
An officer reminded Rodriguez that he had refused medical attention.
Rodriguez reportedly continued to yell at officers and the driver, who stopped participating in the sobriety test to respond to Rodriguez.
Police said Rodriguez began drawing a crowd, endangering officers and passersby.
The arresting officer reported that Rodriguez had slurred speech, blood-shot, watery eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.
An attorney for Rodriguez wasn't listed on police or jail records.
The Chicago Bears said in a statement that team officials are aware of the arrest.
"We are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the situation," the statement said.
A fourth-round draft pick out of Temple University, where he was a tight end, Rodriguez played in 12 games for the Bears in his rookie season last year, starting in five of them.
He began his career at West Virginia, While there, he had a felony assault charge reduced to a misdemeanor disturbance and trespassing charge after an alleged physical altercation with a female residence hall adviser. After transferring to Temple in 2008, he was arrested for disorderly conduct in April 2009, and in 2010 sat out a game for breaking an unspecified team rule.

Eugene Christensen makes one mean bowl of homemade ice cream — creamy and rich, cold and sweet.
"I love ice cream," he said. "We eat it all year round."
Christensen seldom buys ice cream from the store. He ritually makes his recipe twice a week.
"There is no comparison," he said. "I like the flavor a lot better."
Christensen's ice cream is 65 years in the making. He learned it from his parents, Rachel and Bill Christensen.
"Mom would do the mixing and Dad would do the freezing," he said. "Back in the old days we would sit on the bucket while the adults cranked it."
Christensen ice cream has always brought his family together. His children and grand children always seem to show up whenever he makes it.
Sometimes they eat an entire container in one evening.
It is a staple at birthday parties, family events, and he is usually asked to bring it to social events at Eastmoor Methodist church.
Christensen prepares his recipe by taste and feel. He has made it so many times he knows it by heart.

Investor Rights Clinic Client Eligibility Standard
Click here for the Eligibility Questionnaire
The Investor Rights Clinic (formerly the Securities Arbitration Clinic) of John Jay Legal Services, Inc. (JJLS), a not-for-profit organization operating at Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University School of Law (Pace), provides assistance to small investors in arbitrations or mediations who are unable to obtain legal representation because of the small amount of their claims. Law students, under the supervision of a faculty member, represent customers in handling their disputes with broker-dealers. JJLS and Pace are educational institutions and have no affiliation with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
JJLS has the following eligibility guidelines:
- Your household's annual income should not exceed $100,000.
- Your claim should not exceed $100,000.
- You should not have any major assets (e.g., vacation homes, other non-retirement investments) except your home, your car, and the investments that led to the losses in dispute.
- You should be a resident of New York State now or have been a resident of New York State when the disputed transactions occurred.
In certain circumstances, JJLS will make an exception and consider representing investors who do not meet all of the criteria listed above. If you have not already contacted other attorneys or a lawyer referral service, we may ask you to do so.
If you believe that you meet JJLS's guidelines and you wish to consider student representation of your claim, please complete the attached questionnaire and send it to the Pace Investor Rights Clinic at John Jay Legal Services, Inc. If it appears that your case may be suitable for student representation, a law student will call you to learn more about your case, and to arrange an interview at the Law School. After that meeting, if both you and the Clinic agree that the Clinic may appropriately represent you in this matter, you and the Clinic will enter into an agreement authorizing the Clinic to represent you. If, based on the questionnaire, your matter does not appear suitable for the Clinic, you will be notified promptly by letter. General information about the securities arbitration process is available on FINRA's website at finra.org/ArbitrationMediation/index.htm.
Investors are responsible for all costs, other than legal fees, incurred in an arbitration and/or mediation, such as filing and hearing fees. The client must pay these fees directly to the forum at the prescribed times. Upon demonstration of hardship, the Clinic may be able to assist in defraying costs. The Clinic does not charge legal fees for its services. Preference will be given to senior citizens.
The Clinic lacks the resources to accept every eligible case. A decision not to take your case is not a decision about the merits of your particular matter.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. PEG, +0.77% said Tuesday costs associated with superstorm Sandy and a subsequent Nor'easter totaled $250 million to $300 million. Sandy left 1.7 million of its electric customers wihtout power, "and caused severe damage to our transmission and distribution system," the company said. The power firm said it expects at least 85% of the costs to be deferred or capitalized for future distribution or transmission recovery. The Newark, N.J.-based electricity producer said it continues to expect operating earnings for 2012 of $2.25 to $2.50 a share. Wall Street analysts expect the company to earn $2.39 a share, according to a survey by FactSet.

Diligently playing CYA?
Certainly appears that many agencies were aware that international trafficking was ongoing...
Press Release ATF September 21, 2010
"United States Attorney's Office, ATF, and ICE Announce Results of Major International Firearms Trafficking Investigation
Orlando, Florida — United States Attorney A. Brian Albritton, Virginia O'Brien, Special Agent in Charge of central and northern Florida Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operations, and Susan McCormick, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations, Tampa Field Office announce the initial results of Operation Castaway, an intensive and wideranging Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) firearms trafficking investigation conducted by ATF, ICE, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, and the Miami-Dade Police Department. ATF describes Operation Castaway as the most significant firearms trafficking investigation in Central Florida history.
According to court documents, a group of defendants connected to Hugh Crumpler, III, were involved in a major international gun trafficking operation. Crumpler has trafficked, for several years, more than 1000 firearms to various groups and defendants who have exported these weapons all over Central and South America and to Puerto Rico. The defendants trafficked in Glock semi-automatic handguns, Fabrique Nationale Herstal 5.7x28mm semi-automatic handguns ("FN pistols"), and AR-15 styled short-barreled rifles, among other firearms. The FN pistols in particular are weapons of choice for drug trafficking organizations and paramilitary groups. Easily concealed and capable of firing a rifle round of ammunition that can penetrate law enforcement body armor, the pistols are referred to by cartel members in Mexico, South America, Central America, and Puerto Rico as "matapolicias" or "cop killers." AR-15-styled rifles are popular among the same criminal groups.
Firearms like those involved in this investigation are often smuggled through Honduras and other Central and South American countries before being used in violent crimes in Mexico and other countries in the region. A number of the firearms trafficked by the defendants in Operation Castaway have been linked to violent crimes around the world. Several firearms trafficked by Crumpler and Ramon Lopez, Jr. were used in crimes associated with the Torres Sabana Drug Trafficking Organization, a notorious and violent drug trafficking organization in Puerto Rico. Another firearm, a Glock pistol, was recovered in Medellin, Colombia, South America, after being used to commit a homicide. Yet another firearm was found in the possession of a hitman for Oficina de Envigado, an organization described by the Department of Treasury as "a violent Medellin-based organized crime group that engages in large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering activities in Colombia."
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell sentenced several of the Operation Castaway defendants. Hugh Crumpler, III (age 63, of Palm Bay) was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for dealing firearms without a license and unlawfully possessing short barreled rifles; Ramon Lopez, Jr. (age 29, of Kissimmee) was sentenced to 74 months in federal prison for dealing firearms without a license and unlawfully possessing short barreled rifles; Carlos Humberto Guillen-Rivera (age 29, of Honduras) was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison for conspiring to possess and illegally possessing short barreled rifles; Cesar Augusto Guillen-Rivera (age 31, of Honduras) was sentenced to 65 months in federal prison for conspiring to possess and illegally possessing short barreled rifles; Erlin Javier Guillen-Rivera (age 25, of Honduras) was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for conspiring to possess and illegally possessing short barreled rifles; and Hector Saenz (age 38, of Honduras) was sentenced to 46 months for conspiracy.
Operation Castaway defendant Jesus Puentes pleaded guilty on August 31, 2010 to conspiring to possess and illegally possessing short barreled rifles and will be sentenced on November 18, 2010. Defendant Jorge Acosta has pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess and illegally possessing short barreled rifles. Acosta will be sentenced at a future date.
Two additional defendants, Antonia Ruiz-Varela and Manuel Dejesus Carrasco-Ruiz, are still at large and have yet to be arrested by authorities. Any information about their whereabouts should be forwarded to ATF.
"Eliminating this type of organization and taking its high-level weaponry off the streets will increase safety not only for our citizens but for people abroad. I commend the work of the federal agents in bringing this group down, as well as the contributions of our local partner agencies," said U.S. Attorney Albritton.
"ATF investigates unlicensed firearm dealers across the country, this one unlicensed individual revealed a firearms trafficking ring so far reaching it funneled hundreds of firearms to criminal markets both domestic and international," said Virginia O'Brien, Special Agent in Charge of central and northern Florida ATF operations.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge in Tampa Susan McCormick said, "Gun and drug trafficking fuels violence by criminal organizations and threatens the security of the people along our borders and throughout the country. ICE special agents will continue working jointly with our law enforcement partners to utilize our expertise in import and export enforcement in order to keep our citizens safe and secure."
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys J. Bishop Ravenel and E. Jackson Boggs. Operation Castaway remains an ongoing investigation."
Certainly appears that BATF knew who they were looking for the day after the previous press release and I sure hope there's an internal internet solution to spreading this information because various internet search engines reveal few links to just these two men…
ATF News Release September 22, 2010
"ORLANDO, Fla. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Tampa Field Division is seeking the public's assistance in locating two fugitives who are wanted for federal firearms trafficking violations. Both subjects are considered armed and dangerous and may have fled the country.
ATF has obtained federal arrest warrants for Antonio Ruiz-Varela, (DOB: 12/01/1987); and Manuel Dejesus Carrasco-Ruiz, (DOB: 07/03/1969), both Hispanic males.
Ruiz-Varela and Carrasco-Ruiz are wanted in connection with an investigation of a violent international firearms trafficking organization in central Florida. The organization trafficked a variety of firearms including semi-automatic handguns and AR-15 style short-barreled rifles. Several of the firearms have been found in the hands of violent criminal elements within Puerto Rico and throughout Central and South America.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Ruiz-Varela and Carrasco-Ruiz should contact ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS."
Another Letter of Destiny via Gus Bilirakis?
With both of these sets of releases one can map the various paths between drugs, guns, and cash movements:
ATF Field Releases 2009
ATF Field Releases 2010
Don't forget to search for current suspect home based cities for Project Gunrunner, Gunwalker and Fast & Furious as well. Pop Houston in for both years, then scan the stimulus links below
More links to agencies from the Stimulus, imagine how these interact…
Must research more, because this is just the tip of this second iceberg or the base to another wobbling house of cards.

This is something the people of Milton and Trimble County need to think about. First off, I hope the Tornado Victims Benefit Concert on Saturday, March 31, was a great success. There were several victims in Trimble County that lost everything they own and others that needed help. I wish them the very best.
New EPA regulations proposed for limiting carbon pollution, soot, toxic mercury and other pollutants coming from coal-fired power plants are long overdue and can result in better health for our citizens, create jobs and counter climate change.
Trimble County Emergency Management would like to thank the following for their help and support during the recent tornado that hit our county.
Trimble County Emergency Search Unit, Milton Fire and Rescue, Bedford Fire and Rescue, Trimble County Sheriff's Dept., Ky State Police, Trimble County EMS, Ky Fish and Wildlife, American Red Cross, Shelby Energy, KU, Trimble County Road Dept., Rita Davis, Paul Whitman, Shelby County EMA, and anyone and everyone who helped in any way.
On March 2, 2012, Milton Fire & Rescue Station No. 2 in Milton Kentucky was hit by an EF-3 tornado. We lost the Station, a 1983 Spartan Fire Engine, a mobile fish fry trailer, some gear, radios and pagers, and some other items that were stored at this station. Our Fire Department is an all-volunteer department that relies on donations only since we are not a taxing department.
Please take up the voice of Kentucky citizens to defeat another tax increase.
House Bill 368 is working through the Legislature. This bill will enable cities across the state to charge an additional three percent tax on restaurant sales. This is a fifty percent tax increase on restaurant meals. This is a sneak attack to raise taxes on every citizen in the Commonwealth.
These taxes will just be passed on to the citizens, and make every restaurant meal more expensive.
Spring is just around the corner and it is time to clean up the Bedford Cemetery.
All citizens and members of the community are reminded that it is the time of the year when the Bedford Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department is asking for your help with yearly subscriptions. These subscriptions are used to fund the department with utilities, training, fuel, equipment, maintenance of building and equipment, and other needs to serve the community in the Bedford Fire District.
The Trimble County fair dates this year are June 18-23, 2012.
Our theme this year is " Help Us Support Our Troops and Honor our Veterans."
We have the same Carnival as last year. There will be rides to fit anyone's taste. Fun for the whole family is our goal and we hope to see everyone this year.
Local booths and exhibits at the 4-H building. The pageants, talent show and musical entertainment will delight young and old alike.
Society has always been interested in police work and finds the issue of crime a fascinating topic. Television programming has included shows about crime and police work from every angle and context throughout its history.
My name is James Gividen. I am a resident at Signature HealthCare of Trimble County, and I've been here for 14 months.
I am responding to an ad that was placed on the back page of the Trimble Banner (Dec. 14, 2011) that said our Signature nursing home is not a good place.
I want to say that it is a good place. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to be in a nursing home. The nursing staff is excellent. The kitchen staff is excellent. The place is very clean.

Stop Receipts From Printing When CA/AT/NS Button Pressed On XE-A203 Cash Register
We have a Sharp XE-A203 cash register in the shop and haven't really ever spent the time to configure it all the way. We were pretty amazed when we downloaded the XE-A203 manual and skimmed over it to see what the capabilities of the XE-A203 device were. You can program the XE-A203 cash register to do all sorts of stuff including employee data, department data, etc. There is even a power save mode on this cash register. We rarely deal in cash so we are always clicking a single button to open the register and put receipts or checks underneath the inside cash drawer. The problem with that though is every single time the drawer was opened a receipt was printed thus wasting paper. Below is information about how to configure the XE-A203 cash register to not print a receipt every time the CA/AT/NS button is pressed.

CUPERTINO — Monta Vista High School was cleared of danger Thursday after graffiti threatening a bomb attack on a teacher prompted that school's closure as well as the shutdown of nearby Lincoln Elementary School while officers and bomb-sniffing dogs swept the campus, authorities said.
The Sheriff's Office was alerted about 6:40 a.m. to the threat, which came by way of San Jose police's discovery of graffiti at Lynbrook High School that claimed there was a bomb at Monta Vista. The graffiti threatened a Monta Vista teacher by name.
The teacher was in the protective custody of sheriff's deputies when the campus was declared safe just after 11 a.m. Sheriff's Lt. Rick Sung said deputies will be on hand when students return to campus Friday.
"We want people to feel safe at school," Sung said.
Sung said investigators are looking at a handful of leads in the threat. He declined to comment on students' claims that the teacher in question had been threatened earlier in the week.
He added that the protection afforded to the teacher is rare but was done because the threat singled out a particular person.
"It was very specific in nature, and something we have to take seriously and respond to right away," Sung said.
Sung also declined to comment on a photo circulated among students that purportedly shows the threatening graffiti. Students who provided the image to the Mercury News said it was from nearby Kennedy Middle School, suggesting the bomb threat was spray-painted in two locations.
In the image, the vandal claims to have planted a bomb at Monta Vista and threatened to kill the teacher.
Jeremy Nishihara, spokesman for the Cupertino Union School District, confirmed that graffiti was discovered at the junior high campus Thursday morning and that the Sheriff's Office was alerted but would not speak to its content. It has since been painted over.
Bomb technicians and bomb-sniffing dogs were summoned to the Monta Vista campus around 7 a.m., the same time Monta Vista Principal April Scott sent out an alert to students and parents announcing that school would be closed for the day.
Three bomb-sniffing dogs — including one from Stanford University — conducted a classroom-by-classroom sweep of the school. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted.
Classes at the adjacent Lincoln Elementary were also canceled. Streets surrounding McClellan Road were opened at 11:10 a.m.
Celine Mol, a 16-year-old junior at Monta Vista, said she was driving to school when she noticed bicyclists and other cars heading in the opposite direction.
"They were saying go back, there's no school," Celine said.
Donovan Phua, also a 16-year-old junior, said he awoke to a litany of Facebook messages addressing the school closure, and soon got an automated message detailing the bomb threat.
Donovan said he and his classmates are taking the day in stride, though at the academically competitive school, it's with mixed opinions.
"Some are saying they have more time to study, others are wondering how they're going to pick up their homework," he said.
Similar past incidents have shown that such threats are typically hoaxes, but the Sheriff's Office said it must treat each instance as legitimate. While Monta Vista and Lynbrook are both in the Fremont Union High School District, students say any rivalry between the two schools is not strong enough to give additional context for this morning's threat, which came in the midst of preparation for the semester's final exams.
"Everyone thinks it's a joke or prank," Donovan said. "I sure hope it's a prank."

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN- Starring... the f*cker formerly known as Josh Harnett
Year - 2006
(I'll try not to spoil the plot) Due to a case of mistaken identity, Harnett's characters finds himself in the middle of a war between two rival mob bosses who live one in front of the other (so to say). Things get sour from there...
This is a really good movie, with a witty script, a more than decent story, and an excellent cast (Bruce Wilis, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Lucy Liu...). It has only one big flaw. The main character is played by Josh Harnett, who is as expressive as my fist can be. That guy can't act.
Other than that, this movie is F-U-N. Not a classic, but really entertaining, and one of the few (good) noir movies done lately.
Go watch it NOW!
Ah yes, I was waiting for a review on this. Im'a go get it right now.

DURHAM — So, who's the face of the University of New Hampshire hockey team's defense?
Is it Trevor van Riemsdyk, the offensively-gifted sophomore with the surname recognition, who parlayed a strong season into a spot on the All-Hockey East first team?
Is it Brett Pesce, the poised, 18-year-old freshman who's being mentioned as a potential second-round pick in the NHL Entry Draft in June?
Or is it old warhorses Connor Hardowa and Brett Kostolansky, who have just two goals between them this year but have been invaluable in their own end and in the locker room?
Take your pick. Whoever it is, the Wildcats wouldn't mind seeing their defense step up and score a big goal or two when they take on Denver in the first round of the NCAA tournament Friday night (8) at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.
Collectively, UNH defensemen have scored 22 goals and put up 82 points this season. But in their last two weekends of action, a loss and tie against Maine that cost the 'Cats home-ice for the playoffs, and a best-of-three loss at Providence in the Hockey East quarterfinals, they've scored just twice.
"I don't think any major changes need to take place," said Hardowa. "Just tweaking and stuff. We want to get back to where we were."
Van Riemsdyk (7-24-31) is the Wildcats' second-leading scorer after forward Kevin Goumas. After putting up 4-15-19 totals as an impact freshman he's enjoyed a breakout second season, drawing attention when he has the puck and quarterbacking a decent power play (19.2 percent).
"He's got talents that I haven't seen in a lot of players I've played with," said junior Eric Knodel, his defensive partner. "Most of the time, my shots are wide open because everyone's worried about him."
"He's a sophomore that plays like a senior," said UNH coach Dick Umile.
Knodel has chipped in 10 goals and 20 points, after managing 3-9-12 as a sophomore. His two goals against Maine earlier this month are the only ones from the blueline that his team has scored in seven games this month.
"I don't think I've ever had that many goals or the same amount of assists," he said.
Pesce, meanwhile, is the blueliner who might have the brightest future of all. At 6-foot-3 and 188 pounds, he has the size to control things in his own end; his offensive development is what NHL teams are watching. He was ranked No. 36 among draft-eligible North American skaters in Central Scouting's mid-term rankings.
The question for UNH on Friday — and maybe even throughout the weekend — is how important production from the blueline is, and at what potential cost. The Pioneers (20-13-5) come in as the third-highest scoring team in Division I, at 3.39 goals a game, so defensive breakdowns would seem a recipe for disaster.
"We need to control odd-man rushes," said Umile. "If you give up odd-man rushes, you're asking for trouble."
Plenty of eyes will be on sophomore goalie Casey DeSmith (2.24 goals-against average, .924 save percentage), who's playing in his first NCAA tournament and his second game against Denver. Back on Thanksgiving weekend, he gave up three goals on eight shots in the first nine minutes, getting replaced by Jeff Wyer, who ultimately backstopped the 'Cats to a 6-4 win.
"I think he's anxious to prove he's as good a goalie as there is in the tournament," said Umile.
Fortunes have rarely rested solely on defense at UNH (19-11-7), which enters the NCAAs ranked 12th in the country in offense (3.16 goals). The 'Cats think they can skate with anyone; they'd love to get some bonus points from the back line.
"We don't want to get too caught up in trying to stop another team," said Hardowa. "We want them to try to stop us."

Novation Bass Station II Synthesiser
• Analog synth: brand new version of the classic Bass Station
• Two distinct analog filters: A brand new "Acid" filter joins the "Classic" original Bass Station filter
• Bass Station II ships with 64 factory patches and a further 64 user slots. Patch dump enables you to archive and swap sounds
• Pattern-based Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator
• Analog synth layout includes dedicated controls for all major parameters
• Two Oscillators plus an additional Sub Oscillator
• Analog effects section: Bass Station II includes fully analog distortion and filter-modulation effects and a separate filter overdrive to add an aggressive, crunchy sound-quality
• Flexible modulation featuring 2 Envelopes and 2 LFOs
• MIDI I/O and USB connectivity
• Players 'synth-action' keyboard with aftertouch
Bass Station II is an analog mono-synth with a talent for bass, but a sound-engine that is versatile enough to kick out sharp leads and crisp arpeggios. It brings the best elements of the original Bass Station into a brand new design with re-worked modulation, effects, filters and more; like the Bass Station, but much much bigger.
The signal path is pure analog – including the effects section. The hardware has been laid out in modules with dedicated pots, switches, sliders and buttons for all major parameters. Critically, you can store and recall patches on Bass Station II. It comes with 64 killer factory presets, space for 64 of your own sounds on the hardware, and you can store more on your computer.
The key-mechanism consists of 25 full sized keys that are velocity sensitive with assignable aftertouch. It has been developed as a 'synth-action' keyboard, where each key is individually sprung so it is light to the touch and highly responsive to the synth engine. Bass Station II is a fully class compliant MIDI device with MIDI I/O on 5 pin din ports – for connecting to other MIDI outboard – and can interface with your computer over USB.
The Synth Engine: A Brief Overview
Oscillators: Bass Station II is built on three analog oscillators and a noise generator. There are two fully independent oscillators plus a sub oscillator (which is the critical component in creating rich, analog bass sounds). Oscillators One and Two are switchable between sine, sawtooth, square and variable pulse width, and Oscillator Three – the sub osc – can be set to one or two octaves below Oscillator One. It can be square, sine or narrow pulse width, delivering the characteristically 'fat' bass tone.
Filters: You can select between two discrete filters – 'Acid' or 'Classic' – each with a built in overdrive for pushing filter tones from dry, to warm, to nasty! The 'Classic' Bass Station filter can be switched between low pass, high pass and band pass at 12 or 24dB slopes. The 'Acid' filter is based on a diode ladder filter design that delivers a characteristically 303-esque sound that is designed to squelch!
Effects: Bass Station II has two effects (not including the filter overdrive). Analog distortion drives circuit components to add new frequencies to the sound. Bass Station II's Distortion function can add gentle warmth, filthy granularity and anything in between. The second effect is 'Osc Filter Mod' which creates a distinctive FM-type sound by using Oscillator Two to modulate the filter frequency. This is very good at crunchy, sound-mulching effects that substantially fatten up bass and lead patches.
Modulation: There are two envelope generators and two low frequency oscillators (LFOs). The first envelope is an ADSR amp envelope and the second is a mod envelope that can be used to modulate filter frequency, oscillator pitch and osc pulse width. LFO One is dedicated to pitch modulation whereas LFO Two is used to modulate osc pulse width and filter frequency. Although it looks like there are four LFO waveforms, the 'LFO Slew' function can be used freely to sculpt LFOs into smoother wave-shapes.
Arpeggiator and step sequencer: Bass Station II's Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer are killer performance and production tools. The Arp can be directed to run through 32 different rhythmic patterns in different directions with a switchable octave range. The fun really starts when you engage the Step Sequencer. Up to four sequences can be played in – with legato and rests – and assigned to any one of the 32 rhythmic patterns. As well as getting ideas down quickly and programming performance sequences, this is a brilliant way to preview patches while you are editing them.

text: Monday, September 12, 2011 Using Powder-free Gloves Reduces Allergic Sensitization in Health Care Workers The most effective public health strategy to prevent health care workers from developing an allergic sensitization to latex gloves is to stop using powdered latex gloves, say researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Researchers studied more than 800 health care workers at Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin over a 4.5 year period. They tested the amount of latex allergen in the air ducts of the employees' primary work areas before and after both institutions switched to powder-free gloves. The results show a significant correlation between high levels of airborne allergen and health care workers with a latex allergy or sensitivity. Specifically, researchers determined that there was a 16-fold reduction in the rate of latex sensitization among the study participants. Among the health care workers who were sensitized to latex at the beginning of the study, 25% lost that sensitivity and are no longer considered sensitized to latex. Whether these workers will re-develop latex sensitization if exposed to latex in the future is unknown, say the researchers. Comments This is very usefull information for us to prevent from allergis.

The school walls were decorated in colorful wallpaper and parents pushed their strollers up and down the aisles for a series of seminars and workshops and to hear from dozens of speakers on raising and caring for their newborn.
Sponsored by Bright Horizons, Stokke, Wee Babe and the YMCA, the festival provided demos on baby wearing, post-pregnancy Pilates, and even a mini rock-and-roll show from Little Rock-its by Frolic!
"We don't want this to tell parents how to raise their kids, but it is more educational and providing information about services and for questions parents have," said BabyFEST co-producer Jessica Morrow-Glorieux. "This brings the best people we know to these new parents."
Morrow-Glorieux and Town Square chairperson Susan Anderson worked towards putting the first BabyFest together for several months, and were both elated to finally watch their hard work come to fruition.
"We're providing a forum and empowering people with this information," Anderson said.
Stokke, a company offering dozens of products for new parents, provided a look at some of their newest designs, such as strollers, highchairs and baby carriers.
"It's been great to actually demonstrate to people," said Cathleen Barker, Stokke's Northeast account manager. "The great part about this showing is we've had a lot of pregnant mothers coming in and that's fantastic since we offer so many different products for babies."

Back from your fury vacation already? It sure was fun seeing all those numbers pop up all over the place every time you hit Cleave or Whirlwind wasn't it?
But maybe you're not ready to tank again quite yet.
Maybe you're still craving more, I'm sure you're itching to introduce yourself to other living, breathing digital people who'll soon be left on the ground in little pieces in your aftermath.
So let's take a look at the life of an Arms PvP warrior and take an extended break. Don't worry, your raid will be there when you return.
While there are some variations in the spec based on preference, THIS is the basic spec that you'll use. A few of the variations comes from whether or not you prefer to have Improved Hamstring in arms or Blood Craze in fury but other than that, they all play basically the same.
To compete without getting completely blown up in arenas, you're going to want to gather together enough PvP gear to hit the 1k resilience mark while keeping your other stats as high as possible. Remember, just like with Fury, it's not about stacking one stat or the other but about keeping a balanced mix. You'll want that armor pen and the strength to be as high as possible with the crit rating taking a backseat.
There's a shift in mentality to take into consideration too. With fury, the goal was to have as high sustained DPS as possible. In a PvP setting, burst is the way to go. Now what I mean by burst isn't necessarily crit. In PvP, as your victims try hilariously to run away from you, you don't have constant uptime to smash in their face. So you have to capitalize the brief moments you DO have to do as much of the face smashing as possible.
There are a couple of ways to achieve this goal.
The main one is something that you control in which you try to line up as many attacks as possible. You can try to keep Rend applied on your targets before you try to burn them down as this will save you a precious GCD while their in range. You can wait half a second for your Overpower to light up again before hitting them with Overpower and Mortal Strike in quick succession for a nice two hit combo. You can even line up a big one the next time you see your Improved Hamstring (if you took it) proc on an enemy by hitting them with an Overpower/Mortal Strike and following that up with a Bladestorm while they're still stationary. By the time the storm ends, your Overpower will most likely be ready again with Mortal Strike following shortly after. That makes for a pretty hefty amount of damage that most classes won't live through without some immediate assistance.
Keep in mind too that in an arena, the name of the game is team play. Learn to rely on your partner and be someone that your partner can rely on. Don't go chasing an enemy halfway across the map while they nuke your partner to glass and don't be afraid to call for assistance catching an enemy or CCing a healer before you unleash your combo.
The more you and your partner or partners work together and trust each other, the more of a leg up that you'll have on your unorganized opposition.
Now go take another week off from tanking and see how the face smashing side of life lives.

I am fortunate enough to have a best friend who's been in my life since I was five. Our mothers went to nursing school together, we attended the same small neighborhood church and went to the same school from Kindergarten through high school graduation, and were in each other's weddings. She knows me better than anyone else on the planet and vice versa. The kind of soul mates who can abbreviate an entire explanation using a single word or name from the past. But she lives 90 minutes away. So, every six months we meet in the middle for dinner to celebrate our respective birthdays. Just the two of us...no husbands, no kids, no interruptions...just two best friends laughing about the good times, crying about the tough ones, and swapping secrets. No matter how broke we are or how busy we get, we make this night happen twice a year. When I know I've got that on my calendar, I can get through just about anything!"

I see my son part-time so I prioritize, especially when he is around. He is older now, so I let him know ahead of time if he needs to make plans while I am working or at an important function. I spend quality time with him every other Sunday when I make a nice breakfast and/or dinner. He is quiet, but I make sure to engage him in conversation for at least twenty minutes to keep up with his life, and let him know how important he is to me. I de-stress with music I enjoy, seeing live bands play out, laughing with friends, dancing around the house, a hot bath once in a while, incense, candles, meditation, yoga, etc.by phoenixmama on 4th March 20112173Vote!

Have you ever felt like someone just pressed the Fast-forward button on your day and before you know it its ten o'clock and time for bed, yet I feel like I accomplished nothing. I love to organize and with working Part Time outside of the home and FULL-TIME at home with my business, 2 children and my wonderful Husband, I really rely on a schedule and many time management tips to keep my sanity (ok, so some of you think I am already insane, I won't argue with that) but at least I am organized. I found online scheduling software that i can sync with my husband, all of my employees across the country all on one calendar.

Attorney General Madigan: FDA Must Regulate E-cigarettes, Ban Sales to Minors
Attorney General Lisa Madigan today urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and to regulate ingredients and advertising of the popular and highly addictive products.
In a letter to the FDA, Madigan joined with 39 other attorneys general to call on the agency to take all available measures to regulate e-cigarettes as "tobacco products" under the Tobacco Control Act. E-cigarettes, an increasingly popular product among youth and adults, are battery-operated products that heat liquid nicotine, turning it into a vapor that is inhaled by the user.
Unlike traditional tobacco products, there are no federal age restrictions that would prevent children from obtaining e-cigarettes. Madigan and her counterparts urged the FDA to act to protect teens and children from becoming addicted to nicotine, citing a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey that showed the percentages of youth who have tried or currently use e-cigarettes roughly doubled from 2011 to 2012. The survey estimated that in 2012 nearly 1.8 million middle and high school students had tried e-cigarettes.
"It's widely known that most adult smokers start smoking at an early age, in part because manufacturers and advertisers have historically targeted young consumers with flashy marketing campaigns and deceptive health claims," Madigan said. "We're seeing the same tactics at work in the e-cigarette industry. The FDA needs to put a stop to this before more teens take up this dangerous habit."
The Attorneys General letter stated that e-cigarette manufacturers are using celebrity endorsements, television advertising, cartoons, attractive packaging and cheap prices to encourage youth consumption of these dangerous products. Additionally, some marketing has included claims that these products do not contain the same level of toxins and carcinogens found in traditional cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. These claims imply that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative to smoking, when in fact nicotine is highly addictive, the health effects of e-cigarettes have not been adequately studied, and the ingredients are not regulated and may still contain carcinogens. The lack of regulation puts the public at risk because users of e-cigarettes are inhaling unknown chemicals with unknown effects.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, nicotine is highly addictive and has immediate bio-chemical effects on the brain and body at any dosage, and is toxic in high doses. The lack of regulation of e-cigarettes puts youth at risk of developing a lifelong addiction to a potentially dangerous product that could also act as a gateway to using other tobacco products.
Madigan and her counterparts across the country have fought for years to protect people from the dangers of tobacco products. In 1998, the attorneys general of 52 states and territories signed a landmark agreement with the country's four largest tobacco companies to recover billions of dollars in costs associated with smoking-related illnesses and restrict cigarette advertising to prevent youth smoking.

CRESTVIEW � Bob Sikes Elementary School's Rockin' Robots Lego team will return to a statewide competition for the second straight year.
CRESTVIEW � Bob Sikes Elementary School's Rockin' Robots Lego team will return to a statewide competition for the second straight year.
The nine-student team will travel to Orlando to compete against 47 teams in the First Lego League state championship on March 3. The league aims to help students learn about science and technology by working as a team while constructing Lego robots and programming them to accomplish certain tasks.
"This is a huge accomplishment for our team," Coach Ulaunda Nunn, who teaches writing, social studies and science, said. "We are really proud of them.�
Many of last year's members have graduated to middle school, said Nunn, who shares coaching duties with Dottie Holland, a math and science teacher.
"Out of the nine students we have in the program, only three are returning from last year," she said, noting current members� swift achievement.
Programming the �brain�
One of last year�s returning students, fifth-grader Lauren Clark, 10, said she anticipates next month�s competition.
"I feel good about this competition," Lauren said. "This year I am doing the programming."
Each Lego robot, which the students design, is operated by a small computer device � called the "brain" or "brick� � that gives direction. Students program the brain on a laptop computer.
"This has been a really interesting thing for me, because I have never programmed anything before," Lauren said. "It�s really cool to see (the robot) go all by itself without using any force on it."
Neither students nor coaches may assist their robot while it�s set on the track. To do so would result in a loss of points.
"The competition can last from eight to 10 hours and they have to be well behaved, focused and stay on task," Nunn said. "They can't run around and play."
Assisting seniors
In this year�s �Senior Solutions�-themed robotic competition, each team's robot must successfully complete tasks that senior citizens deal with daily. For example, a robot must select the correct colored tablet using a sensor. This task mimics how seniors must select medication from a medicine cabinet. Teams must perform as many robotic tasks as they can within two-and-a-half minutes.
In addition, each team will work with senior citizens to identify a problem facing seniors and present a solution for it.
The Rockin' Robots interviewed a number of local seniors and decided to create a user-friendly website for senior citizens interested in volunteering or mentoring at local schools. This website would help seniors find the type of volunteer work they want to do at the nearest school, Nunn said. The team received help from Deborah Buchanan, who designed the school's website.
The league�s top five teams have a chance to compete nationally, Holland said.
Holland put the team�s accomplishment in perspective.
"There are 503 teams in the state of Florida and these guys (the Rockin� Robots) are one of 48 that are going to state," Holland said. "They are the only elementary team from this area going."
Three schools on Okaloosa County�s north end, including Davidson and Shoal River middle schools, have Lego league teams.
Both schools were also represented at the regional tournament, which took place Feb. 2 in Panama City.
Bob Sikes� after-school program � available to the school�s fourth- and fifth-graders � attracts plenty of interest, but achievement determines a team member�s role, group leaders said.
"We normally start out with 35 kids and we have to get it down to 10 or less, which can be heartbreaking," Nunn said.

Dust storms scour Iraq. Freak floods wreak havoc in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Rising sea levels erode Egypt's coast. Tuvulu and the Seychelles may disappear altogether as hey submerge into the ocean.
Sand storm
A comprehensive vulnerability index suggests you move to Scandinavia, Ireland or Iceland as slightly safer places. The teeming plains of Asia are at greater risk in the next 30 years. Ten of the 16 most vulnerable countries are in Asia where high populations, low lying land and potential water shortages will plague more than other places and people.
High Asia is dominated by many steep, dramatic mountain ranges that run through parts of Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, India, China, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries.
The region is home to more than 50,000 glaciers that are vital water lifelines to Asia's largest rivers, including the Yellow, Yangtze, Mekong, Indus and Ganges. Roughly two billion people depend on these rivers for their water and food supply. What happens when all this changes with the climate?
The Climate Change Vulnerability Index was produced by Maplecroft, a British risk analysis firm. It crunched data in October 2010 from more than 40 different studies, and looked at a range of risk factors including a nation's exposure to climate-related disasters; its population density, poverty and dependence on agriculture; and its government's and infrastructure's ability to adapt to climate change.
Bangladesh comes top of the "extremely vulnerable" category because of its large population, extreme rural poverty and high risk of flooding. Bangladesh is a low lying delta land on the edge of the Indian Ocean.
India is second because of its billion-plus inhabitants. It relies on Himalayan water sources that may dry up.
African nations judged at extreme risk are Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Malawi. This is primarily based on their poverty level and relatively primitive farming techniques.
Tuvalu and Kiribati are two of the places on earth that are most vulnerable to the affects of global warming. The threat of sea level rise may bring complete disaster to the 10,000 Tuvaluans residing on nine extremely low-lying coral atolls (Maximum height of 15 feet). Though these small nations may disappear, their only saving grace is their low populations.
Unfortunately, many people who live in High Asia and along the river basins (such as the heavily populated Indus valley) fed by the region's glaciers already experience malnutrition and food insecurity, insufficient access to clean water and sanitation, and other issues that will be exacerbated by climate change and population growth. The challenge is to incorporate climate change into their existing development efforts so that quality of life continues to improve in the developing world.
Although the world's glaciers have slowly been retreating since 1850 — the end of what climate scientists refer to as the Little Ice Age — those in High Asia have not melted as quickly, mostly due to the glaciers location in elevations higher and colder than many other glacier systems.
The Battelle report (Changing Glaciers and Hydrology in Asia: Addressing Vulnerability to Glacier Melt Impacts) states that many Himalayan glaciers are retreating, especially at the lower elevations, but that no region-wide evidence supports the claim that they're retreating faster than any other location in the world. The report also recommends that scientists collaborate internationally to gather more information to show the glaciers' overall ice balance on a regional scale.
Retreating glaciers can also heighten existing water worries. In the Indus River Basin, for example, glacier melt accounts for about 30 percent of the river's water supply. Retreating glaciers would lessen the river's overall flow, but that impact would likely be more dramatic as the region's population growth increases the demand for water. The Indus River Basin is already home to more than 200 million people, and the region's high fertility rates mean its population will continue to grow rapidly. As a result, the region's per capita water availability will decline steeply. The issue is compounded by the large amount of irrigated land there.
Human health also stands to be affected by climate change in High Asia. Less available water could mean higher pollution levels and increased difficulty obtaining clean water and sanitation "for hundreds of millions in these watersheds," reads the report. Diarrhea and other diseases linked to biological and chemical contamination are likely, the report notes.

Clinton tops potential '16 GOP rivals in crucial Ohio
Hillary Clinton is leading potential Republican challengers in the key state of Ohio in 2016 matchups, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
The former Secretary of State, said assistant poll director Peter Brown, "is almost everyone's favorite candidate. She squeaks past U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and easily defeats each of the other Republicans she is matched against and has a solidly positive favorability rating. Obviously there is a long way to go until 2016, but at this point the political problems the president is encountering are not rubbing off on her."
Clinton even tops Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 47-40 percent. She also is ahead of others: By 46-42 over Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., by 48-37 over former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and 46-37 over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Clinton is viewed favorably by 52 percent of Ohio voters, and does particularly well among women. Her lead among women ranges from 20 to 24 percentage points.

The VMRL exporting is excellent, but I'm having some troubles...
1) I only get one vmrl file names ".wrl" in my Project64 directory. As I understand it, TR64 should be writing a new one with a number for a name every fifteenth of a second or so.
2) The surface normals of the VMRL files are reversed. It a trivial problem to fix, but annoying nonetheless.
3) Finally, 3ds Max has trouble importing some of the files. Unfortunatly, I can't remember the error exactly, but it's something like "Can't load parameter ??." where ?? is a number (I remember 4 and 16 for two of the files).
Thanks for the plugin and any help resolving these issues!
P.S. Is there a utility that will dump 3d models fro Game Cube?

For the first time in 550 years, Christianity inside Turkey is growing in numbers and influence. But its recent growth comes at a high price: since February 2006, radicalized Muslims have killed five Christiansthe kind of cold-blooded martyrdom not seen in decades.
Modern-day Turkey's 73 million citizens, 98 percent of whom are Muslims, are experiencing social and political upheaval. The country is attempting to improve its economic and human-rights record in order to join the European Union. Turkey's relations with the United States are strained as an ally in the war in Iraq, and because of Congress's aborted effort to pass the Armenian genocide resolution. Also, Turkey's border disputes with Greece over land around the Aegean Sea, as well as violent skirmishes with Kurdish rebels on its southern border, keep this nation's formidable military on highest alert.
This is the context in which a handful of Islamic radicals targeted Christians as "enemies of the state" because of their association with Western groups and their alleged support of Kurdish rebels. The five killed within the last two years were:
Andrea Santoro, a Catholic priest killed in February 2006. A 16-year-old youth shot Santoro as he was praying in the Santa Maria Church in Trabzon, Turkey.
Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor. In January 2007, a teenager gunned down Dink, who had been convicted of "insulting Turkishness" two years prior.
The three Malatya martyrs: Necati Aydin, a Turkish pastor; Tilmann Geske, a missions worker from Germany; and Ugur Yuksel, a new Christian convert from Islam. In April 2007, young radicals feigning curiosity about Christianity killed the three men by slitting their throats at a Christian ...1
