Frank Pepe's Pizza, which has been famous in New Haven since 1925, plans to open a location in the Elmwood section of West Hartford.
On the agenda for the Nov. 27 West Hartford Town Council meeting is an application for Pepe's Pizza to open in Elmwood Plaza 1126-1148 New Britain Ave. and use 3,200 square feet of the existing Puppy Center.
West Hartford Director of Community Development Rob Rowlson told the West Hartford Patch that Puppy Center will still use part of its current location.
The West Hartford Pepe's location would have 72 seats and require 24 parking spaces, according to the letter the applicant's attorney sent to members of the council on Nov. 19.
Pepe's currently has two locations in New Haven and one each in Fairfield, Manchester, Mohegan Sun, Danbury and Yonkers, New York.

I've had the experience of making some reasoned, unemotive statements about immigration and seeing them used by some bonehead as part of his justification for throwing bricks through the windows of Somalis in Porirua. If that can beget that, then it's well within the bounds of possibility that an overt call for violence will trigger something much worse.
And that is, without doubt, a police matter.
It's a long shot, but if we took Greg Stanton's 8 Stages of Genocide table...
Mr Lhaws would rate a Stage 3, having actually thrown around words like 'rats', 'parasites' and 'vermin' to dehumanise certain people.
The organised violence Rex refers to would be about Stage 3.5. I wouldn't rate it entirely Stage 4 because that implies state-sanctioned militias with rifles, whereas Rex was likely talking more about privately-organised loons with improvised weapons, like during the Cronulla riots in 2005.
Gio: M'kay… I'm pretty sure that those black people living in Montgomery, Alabama in 1956 who boycotted their city's public transit system (and incidentally financially crippled it – who'd have thunk all those po' blacks who wouldn't sit at the back of the bus also make up the majority of its paying custom) would have a grim smile or two for that characterisation. And, yes, I make precisely no apologies for declining to patronise companies that engage in racist, homophobic or sexist practices, explaining why to anyone who cares to listen, and encouraging others to do the same.
I think the point is, you have to be a purchaser of the good or service to have actual power via boycott. If you don't, you have what can at best be described as moral power. Giovanni's point that people who have lots of money to spend have a lot more actual power over the advertisers in the SST isn't invalidated by the Montgomery bus boycott.

And that's not totally unreasonable, as far as it goes. But, IIRC, Toyota pulled their advertising from Holmes in the wake of cheeky darky-gate. Perhaps I need to know a better class of motorist, but I don't know anyone who turns over their car every year; but at any given moment there are a lot of people who are mulling over a new car as their next big ticket purchase and Toyota is part of a crowded, and extremely competitive, marketplace. Alienating potential customers in the face of a considerable backlash doesn't strike me as bringing the smart.
FletcherB, in reply to
I'm sure that for low/medium priced items that are purchased frequently (bread/bus tickets/beer, etc.) a boycott would have to affect actual sales to have an effect... but for high-medium and big-ticket items that are only purchased once every few years or decade like white-ware, TV's and cars.... just talking about it affecting a future purchase decision is enough... they'll react whether you were actually considering a purchase or not, They wont wait for a measurable drop in sales, and they wont evaluate the size of the wallet of the person writing in to tell them of their concerns...

Can't believe the SST got rid of Steve Braunias and kept Laws. No doubt about which one has the talent.
Jacqui Dunn, in reply to

I can understand where Braunias is coming from, but one thing that's occurred to me is that while there is such a focus on Mr Laws, he is getting that very thing that any tantrum and insult thrower wants more than anything else - attention .
My suspicion is that Michael Laws is terrified of being the invisible man. He's done parliament - no going back there - he's been mayor - not any more - he's on the radio and he has a column. These last two things can disappear. He must be very afraid that when he's had the mic turned off on him, and the paper decides he's expendable, that there won't be anything else for him to do.
From the classy journalism file, Caroline Meng-Yee called to task by Jonathan Marshall. Positively postmodern, career-obituary style.
A senior newspaper reporter who secured the first interview with murder victim Sophie Elliott's family has been condemned for attending a fancy dress birthday party as the dead student.
Meng-Yee, who recently quit as the Herald on Sunday's assistant editor after three years, closely followed the 22-year-old's high-profile murder.
Meng-Yee did not respond to Sunday Star-Times inquiries but in 2009 she spoke to Metro about her work. The article said when Meng-Yee arrived at the newspaper she claimed her aim was to "lower the bar".
Craig Ranapia, in reply to

Sure - but the thing about Laws is that he also calculatingly targets people he thinks can't or won't fight back -- solo mothers, beneficiaries, rape victims, "black slugs", we all know the roll call. It's trolling, pure and simple. And while "don't feed the troll" is a very sound principle, there are times where trolls and their enablers need to be told loud, clear and repeatedly that their dog won't hunt. You don't effect culture change quickly or painlessly, but it's worth playing the long game.
Sacha, in reply to

Priceless cutting satire, that article. Good on Brauniuas and the Southland Times for broadcasting the real not-so hidden Lhaws:
"What d'you reckon, listeners," I said to my audience on Radio Live today, "should we track them down and kill them so that free speech can survive?" Adolf, of Invercargill, said: "Ja! I have a pitchfork!"
Hermann, of Hamilton, said: "Nein! Forget the bloggers. Let's get the looters, especially the ones afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome. We must not let them breed."
Sacha, in reply to
It's trolling, pure and simple.
It's bullying, impure and simple - and taking away his megaphone is a fair and reasonable response just like removing someone's baseball bat is. No one should have to put up with constant denigration and violence whether verbal or physical, and it's not that good for the bully's soul either.
On that Brian Edwards thread, Lhaws' ex-fling Jacqueline Sperling gives her reasons for persisting:
[I] did not ask for the publicity that came from knowing Laws. I did not ask him to go public with our relationship in order to boost his radio show's ratings, nor did he ask my permission to do that. Since he chose to do that though, i will continue to speak out regarding what an awful person he is – for the sole purpose of hindering his efforts to ever get back into National Politics.
I will continue to speak out about him, because i never want to see him in a position to be making decisions that affect New Zealanders. I would do the same to anyone who is full of as much hate, anger, and poison,as Michael Laws is, who is aspiring to be elected to a public position.

Yes, all that. Mix that bullying up with his terror at being ignored (invisible) and you've got someone totally driven to even greater lengths. And then, it's as if our utter contempt = huge energizers for him. He gets off on it. It feeds his ego.

There isn't a Laws column online today. Does anyone have a copy of the newspaper? Or is the boycott too effective?
Hilary Stace, in reply to
Email Twitter
There is a laws column today but I didn't read it. What is worth reading, and I can't find it online, is an excellent response by Arie Smith-Voorkamp's lawyer, Simon Buckingham, which includes useful much useful information. His mention of 'rescuing' light fittings due to be dumped, changes the perspective. It's in the A section, and there are also some letters on the editorial page (including my angry complaint to the editor which wasn't intended for publication). (Disclaimer: I didn't buy the SST but I'm getting it free for four weeks as a potential subscriber)
Russell Brown, in reply to
Yes, there's a Laws column, although they've bumped it out of the lead spot with a guest column from a Canterbury school principal.
Laws' column is a confused rant about paedophiles.

Yes. Although I can see how a campaign aimed at tarnishing the image of those advertisers might have a wee bit of purchase, as it were. For instance one could run a blog advertising who's buying ad space on the page of the SST where Laws' column appears, as well as keeping a tally of his ghastliest opinions (ie all of them). But I'd still much rather use Laws' intemperances to argue that broadcasting and press standards need to be strenghtened, so they protect everyone and not just consumers.
Steve Parks, in reply to
and can only say that I think Laws is enjoying all this immensely.
Hmm, I not so sure, in regards to this particular matter. In his responses, on Edwards' blog and to Dan Satherly's 3 News piece for example, he seems pretty peeved.
Have you tried the one next to Astoria?
Yeah that's the one he and Kyle are referring to. It's called Magnetix, and does stock ODT and Press.
Heather Gaye, in reply to

Saw it & my immediate thought was he'd been given a "Paedophiles=bad" homework assignment because it wouldn't cause any controversy.
Islander, in reply to
You may be right Heather - but the giver of the assignment may be wrong. The only paedophile I've ever knowingly encountered was an extremely hard-working old man who came from a Scandanavian country, and who didnt speak very good English. When he shifted in with his relations, the man of the house went all round the neighbourhood visiting houses that homed little boys, warning them that his uncle had a history of cuddling & kissing kids. What he didnt mention at the time was that his uncle had a mental age of about 7...
And what I vividly remember as a young adolescent was how he used to sit down in the road and cry after boys used to run away and throw things from a 'safe' distance at him.
Paedophiles of the kind we are more aware of are vicious exploiters of children, but there are the innocents (I use that word in its original meaning) and they will have their defenders-

I finally got a chance to see Media7. I think you were entirely right to call Kemenys out for his evasiveness and to insist that, at least, he read the opinions opposite his own editorial. Unfortunately, I was left with the opinion that, as awkward as he was, he wasn't concerned enough to change his approach in any meaningful way. As he said, plenty of people write in saying that Lhaws is the sane one.
Sacha said:

I see it as simply as this which is why I'm interested in the complaints. Surely he's transgressed, surely? If the Press Council at least don't find that, I'd worry about the content of the standards. More likely though, the punishment will be inadequate.
Heather Gaye, in reply to

Yup, I totally understand where you're coming from, but I didn't think we could really attribute Lawhs with the maturity of thought required to consider the complexities of unwanted sexual preferences in any sympathetic terms. His views offend me, but having him up for not offering a more nuanced or compassionate opinion in this instance feels tantamount to kicking a kid with a learning disability.
Sacha, in reply to

Hence my preference for other forms of action now, while the wet bus ticket is slowly prepared by industry regulators. Lovingly moistened, if you will, while balking at the taste.
Combining forms of activism brought results with Henry, though that included prompt coordinated action (and some political and diplomatic complaint). I suspect we've already wasted too much time talking about it rather than doing it this time anyway.
And meanhwhile, my life has been completed.
I feature in a Braunias column.
The pinnacle! Well done Russell - and Steve Braunias!

Administrative history
The origins of Burns, Philp and Company Limited can be traced to the partnership between James Burns and Robert Philp formed in 1876. The company was incorporated in Sydney on 21 April 1883 with Burns and Philp as joint Managing Directors until Philp resigned from the Board in 1892. By the end of the 1880s the company had branches in Townsville, Normanton, Burketown, Thursday Island, Cairns, Charters Towers, Sydney, Brisbane and London. By this date the interests of the company included merchandising, shipping with its own vessels, and as an agent for the Australasian United Steam Navigation Company (AUSN), and insurance, with the establishment of the North Queensland Insurance Company as a subsidiary in 1886. In 1886 Burns and Philp agreed to run a mail steamer from Thursday Island to Port Moresby where a branch was established in 1890. In 1889 the company diversified into plantation ownership with the formation of the Australasian New Hebrides Company which purchased about 80,000 acres of land in the New Hebrides. In the late 19th century and early 20th century the company extended its area of interest from Melanesia to the Central Pacific, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. In 1908 a branch was established in Java at Samarang and in 1915 a branch in Wellington. Burns Philp Company of San Francisco Inc was set up in June 1917. To consolidate its interests in acquiring plantations, the company formed subsidiary companies to run and manage plantations. Hall Sound Co was formed in 1900, the Solomon Island Development Co in 1908, Shortland Island Plantations Ltd in 1910, Choiseul Plantations Ltd in 1911, New Britain Plantations Ltd and New Ireland Plantations Ltd were established in 1930, and Kulon Plantations Ltd and New Hanover Plantations Ltd in 1931. The company set up subsidiaries to control geographic areas of operations, the largest being Burns Philp (South Sea) Company Limited which was incorporated in March 1920. In 1946 two other major subsidiaries were established, Burns Philp (New Hebrides) Ltd, and Burns Philp (New Guinea) Ltd. Burns Philp (Norfolk Island) Ltd was set up in 1973. In the 1930s the company moved into urban retailing and established the company Penneys Ltd which was sold to Coles in 1956. From the 1960s the company's shipping activities declined following the Commonwealth Government's decision to withdraw the shipping subsidy. The company moved into the manufacture of food and beverages, photographic and electrical goods, vehicle sales and rental, distribution of home building materials, hardware, liquor wholesaling and provision of financial investment and trustee services. Takeovers have included A J Chown Holdings Limited (1973); Yencken Glass Industries Limited (1973); Ira Berk Limited (1976); Sun Electric Consolidated Limited (1976); Mauri Bros & Thomson Limited (1982); and Nock & Kirby Holdings Ltd (1983). The company was delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange in December 2006 having been acquired by Rank Group Australia Pty Limited.

From the Great Depression to a great restoration: project adds new life to historic Overmyer murals
It started with a pumpkin that looked flat and not quite the right color. It ends with a Cinderella-like transformation, returning this pumpkin and four special artworks at Kansas State University to their original glory.
The restoration of K-State's historic David Hicks Overmyer murals in the Reading Room at Hale Library was recently completed. Overmyer was a noted regional artist who painted the murals in 1934 through a grant from the Works Progress Administration, or WPA, a Depression-era program. The murals depict the university's four colleges at the time, all of which were very much in keeping with K-State's land-grant mission: "Agriculture"; "Mechanics," for engineering and industry; "Arts"; and "Home," for home economics.
Age, water damage and other issues had left the murals in need of special care. The pumpkin in "Agriculture" especially stood out, according to Roberta Johnson, director of financial services and facilities for the K-State Libraries. She noticed that its color seemed inconsistent with the other colors in the painting and that it had no dimension, compared to other parts of the murals.
Because of the murals' historical significance, Lori Goetsch, dean of K-State Libraries, knew something had to be done.
"They are a piece of heritage: the heritage of Depression-era art and what they represent about K-State's history and about the history of the land-grant university," she said.
The Friends of the K-State Libraries agreed to pay for the bulk of the restoration cost. "I have such extreme appreciation for this group," Goetsch said. "They have taken this on financially as a multiyear project, and we would not be where we are today without the Friends."
Staff at K-State's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art recommended contacting Mary Schafer, assistant paintings conservator at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., about doing the restoration.
Schafer and her crew have worked on the murals for two weeks at a time for the last four years. She's used her vacation time from the museum for the project.
"Mary's been a great partner with us," Goetsch said. "She's done a wonderful job, and she's taught us a lot about the murals and the process of restoring them."
The painstaking work included analyzing the damage and cleaning to remove varnish and nonoriginal paint -- applied during a previous touch-up of "Agriculture" and "Arts" -- as well as toning some paint loss.
Schafer said the scale of the project was one of her biggest challenges. She's used to working on paintings on canvas, not works on a long plaster wall that she had to use scaffolding to reach.
The murals were touched up in 1996 but the paint used for the job wasn't right, leaving the pumpkin and other parts of the mural not quite as Overmyer had originally painted them. Using solvents provided by the K-State chemistry department, Schafer and her team removed the offending paint while being careful not to harm the original oil paint.
"The next conservator who treats these works will be able to remove the paint we used with a solvent that has very little effect on oil paint," she said. "I hope that these murals won't have to be touched for another 30 or more years."
Water damage has been a recurring problem with the murals. Just when Schafer was nearly finished with the project, a pipe burst at the library earlier this year and caused water damage to one of the murals. But Goetsch has taken steps to give them more protection. Thanks to federal stimulus funds, the entire library is getting a new roof. K-State's Division of Facilities also built a water diversion system over the murals.
"They really fabricated it to look like it's always been here and did a beautiful job," Goetsch said.
Schafer said the project has revealed some of Overmyer's painting techniques and uncovered some details that not many people notice when viewing the murals from the ground.
"The original paint has become more transparent over time, making some of the grid lines Overmyer used to create his painting more visible," she said. "They tell you a little bit about how he started painting the murals. He used the grid to transfer a composition from a sketch to the wall. In this way he was able to go from something small to something much larger."
Schafer made other discoveries about the mural by getting up close: the grid lines were drawn with black charcoal; they're most noticeable in "Arts"; and Overmyer added charcoal lines as detail on top of the paint, such as on the female's dress in "Home."
While Schafer doesn't favor one mural over the other -- "I treat these murals not as my work, but as Overmyer's," she said -- she does have some favorite parts, including the pumpkin in "Agriculture."
"That pumpkin was once covered with a very flat bright orange paint that shouldn't be there. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to remove it and see the original paint. We now see Overmyer's work -- and the pumpkin has much more dimension," she said. "My other favorite parts include some of the faces, the flowers and the very art deco styles in the murals."
The murals -- and the Reading Room, which is in the first part of the library built in 1927 -- are great favorites with K-State alumni and students, Goetsch said.
"Our students today call it the Harry Potter room. They think it sort of looks like the big dining hall in the Harry Potter movies," she said. "It's traditionally a quiet study area.

Rocket Man's use of the adjective "execrable" below with respect to the previously anonymous Swedish Foreign Minister–the foreign minister of the country that couldn't choose sides between Hitler and Churchill, right?–reminds me that on the list of those whose disapproval of President Bush's speech must encourage us to think highly of it, I should have added the truly, deeply execrable Kofi Annan.

>Bowel protruding into a hernia can become entrapped, causing an obstruction or damage to the bowel. Surgical repair is usually recommended for hernias.
>During an ascent, a trapped segment of bowel containing gas will expand; it could rupture and compromise its blood supply. For this reason, individuals should not dive with an unrepaired hernia.
>In a hiatal hernia, part of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through the diaphragm's esophageal opening. Two main types of hernia are distinguishable, since they have different implications for fitness to dive.
>In a sliding hiatal hernia, the upper portion of the stomach slides upward in the space occupied by the esophagus. This hernia, found in a large percentage of North American adults, can cause gastroesophageal reflux, but it often has no symptoms. A paraesophageal hernia is a protrusion of the stomach through a separate opening of the diaphragm.
>Significant gastroesophageal reflux should be treated before diving, but a sliding hiatal hernia does not by itself contraindicate diving. Part of the stomach can become trapped within a paraesophageal hiatal hernia, and, during ascent, could rupture. Thus, paraesophageal hiatal hernia is considered a contraindication to diving.
>A few who have had surgical repair of their hiatal hernia (e.g., fundoplication) can suffer from gas-bloat syndrome, which is associated with gaseous distension of the stomach. This is believed to occur due to one's inability to expel swallowed air by belching. During an ascent, this distension can also lead to gastric rupture. The symptom usually resolves within a few weeks. If the distension persists, however, diving is not advised.

Simon Amselem, country manager for Walt Disney Spain and Portugal, said: "Launching a Disney-branded SVOD movie library service in Spain is a logical next step in our distribution strategy, complementing our existing agreements with other linear and non-linear broadcasters and platforms."

After clobbering its rivals in qualifying rounds, the U.S. men's gymnastics team crumpled in Monday's finals with an error-laden performance that erased any shot at a medal.
The Americans arrived in London full of optimism. They were considered contenders for the bronze medal, behind powerhouses China and Japan. On Saturday, they shocked the field with a first-place performance in the qualifiers, raising hopes for their first Olympic title since 1984.
Then they fell to earth, hard.
U.S. & World
Sam Mikulak lost his balance and touched the ground on his floor routine. Danell Leyva, who came in first overall in the qualification round, slipped from the pommel horse. John Orozco, the U.S. champion, fell from the horse and blew his landing on the vault, ending up on his backside instead of his feet.
They finished fifth.
"It didn't go as planned today," Orozco told the Associate Press. "I can't help but feel personally responsible because I did five events — I did the most out of everyone — and I botched on two of them. It hurts."
Meanwhile, China, which claimed gold at Beijing and Sydney, did it again by a massive margin. Japan took silver after officials initially placed the team in fourth, and Great Britain won bronze.
The home team was initially announced as silver medalists, to the delight of the crowd that roared with approval, but its placement was revised after Japan filed an inquiry over Kohei Uchimua's pommel horse score. Judges reviewed the request for a few minutes and then announced adjusted scores, bumping Japan up to second, Great Britain down to third and Ukraine off the medal podium to fourth place. Though the crowd booed the results, bronze was still a remarkable win for the British team, which hadn't won a men's gymnastics medal in a century.

Very good! Next time I'll try with breasts instead, as my family prefers them.
Jun 20, 2016
I followed the recipe exactly and it was only okay. I marinated the chicken in the refrigerator for two days, so I expected it to be very flavorful but it wasn't nearly salty or lemony enough.
Jun 24, 2015
We used a cut up chicken for this recipe. I only added one onion (Vidalia) because it looked like enough and I think it was. Prepare one day and grill the next. This would be an easy recipe for a workday meal. This is a nice summer recipe.
Aug 18, 2014
I really enjoyed this. I added 1Tab. of Italian seasoning and marinated it overnight. It added a little extra omph! Will use this many times.
May 22, 2014
We had this for dinner tonight on the grill. Delish. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and would definitely make again. I threw everything into a plastic bag and marinated over night. No basting required and still moist and delish. We did use the direct method and only for 7 minutes on each side.
May 21, 2014
This recipe is better than the version we have used forever. Thanks! 95% of our grilling, we do a ton of it, is over indirect coals. Place the thighs and legs away from the coals, skin side up, cover with lid with the vents wide open. In 50-55 min you have great juicy chicken. Do not turn, peek or baste during the cooking time. Marinating overnight is a plus. With this amount of oil your chicken skin will look and taste almost like fried chicken. Reheat marinade and baste at the table for a wonderful finishing touch.

I use this same recipe for Cornish hens, it's excellent.
Aug 13, 2013
Very tasty! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinated overnight.
Jul 18, 2013
This came out moist and pleasant. I'm not sure that the marinade added as much flavor as I would have liked, but it was good.
Jul 14, 2013
This recipe was a hit in our house! I am so glad we tried it. I had my sister pick something for us to make for dinner and was kind of leery of the lemon chicken because normally I'm not a lemon fan but this surprised me and I loved it! We started it on the grill and had to finish it in the oven due to flare ups but it still turned out great! When we put it in the oven we dumped the remaining marinade on top and it was awesome! I made the recipe as listed except I didn't have quite the 2/3 cup of lemon juice. I used the juice of 4 fresh squeezed lemons. A great recipe that will make your family wanting more! We didn't have a piece leftover!

CALERA, OK - Yesterday we reported on a brave 12-year-old Bryan County girl who was home alone when she shot an intruder that broke into her house. She's been the talk of Texoma the past 24 hours, and today Steven Powell sat down with her to hear the story in her own words.
"He opened the screen door and started pounded on the door. So I didn't answer it. And I called my mom. She said to go get the gun and hide in the closet."
Kendra St. Clair says she stayed in the closet until she thought the coast was clear. So she went to check the back door.
And he was standing there trying to open it. So I got really scared and I called 911."
She went back to the closet. That's when she heard the man in the house.
"When I was back there on the phone with 911, I heard the bathroom light turn on that was leading to the closet. And when I saw the door handle turn, I shot him. I guess it went through the door, went through him, and went through the wall."
St. Clair thanks her mom for teaching her how to keep her calm and protect herself.
"And her telling me that has made me happy that she kind of helped me through that."
She says after the gun shot the next few minutes were one big blur. Kendra says it was the first time she'd ever fired a gun.
Her mom, Debra St. Clair, says she's thankful for the phone calls and support they've received from friends and family.
"I think God was definitely looking down on us yesterday and taking care of my girl."
She says she's still upset, realizing it could have ended differently.
"I thank God that Kendra was able to take care of her business the way she did. I don't know if I was in that position that I'd have been able to do the things that she's done."
And Kendra's phone has been blowing up with calls.
"One of my friends told me that she couldn't do that, and I'm an inspiration to her and everybody in Calera."
But while it's been an emotional day for both, Kendra says her mom hasn't stopped hugging her.
"I think she's making an even bigger deal of this than I am."
The suspect, 32 year old Stacey Jones, was released from a Plano hospital today and is being held in a Collin County Jail until he can be transported back to Bryan County. Officials say he faces a felony first degree burglary charge and up to 20 years in prison.

WASHINGTON — A small team of soldiers will go into Libya in the coming weeks to begin preparations for a larger U.S. mission to train Libyan troops in Bulgaria, a senior Army official said Wednesday.
According to the official, fewer than a dozen soldiers will go to Tripoli but that number could grow as the group begins selecting the Libyan troops who will receive U.S. training. About 500 soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division will train 5,000 to 8,000 Libyan forces in basic combat skills as part of a larger international effort to improve security in the North African nation.
The training was announced late last year, but sending a team into Libya was not. The team initially will be working with the Libyans to determine the scope and details of the training.
The official said that as time goes on and the effort to select the Libyan troops expands, some additional soldiers could go to Tripoli to provide security for the team.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter by name.
Officials are waiting on final approval for the team to go to Tripoli. And the training will not begin until Libya approves the funding needed for the mission. That approval could happen sometime next month.
There are ongoing concerns about the rise of a number of militias in Libya, as the nation's weak government struggles to take control in the aftermath of the ouster and death of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

UT Dallas Asked to Vote on Best Landmark for '3D Dallas' Project
Geosciences Team Plans to Develop Animated 3D Model to be Displayed at Earth Day Dallas
Feb. 12, 2013
Dr. Georgia Fotopoulos and her graduate students are asking for the UT Dallas community's input on a new project called "3D Dallas," which aims to raise awareness of the interactions between natural and urban, or "built," environments.
UT Dallas geosciences graduate students Dimitrios Bolkas (left) and Graham Mills will use terrestrial laser scanning equipment to produce a 3D computer model of a Dallas landmark.
Fotopoulos' research group from the Department of Geosciences will use terrestrial laser scanning equipment to take detailed measurements of one of five Dallas architectural landmarks, and will then use that information to create a 3D computer model. Once complete, the animated, three-dimensional rendering will be displayed at Earth Day Dallas, April 20-21 in Fair Park.
UT Dallas faculty, staff and students are encouraged to vote for their favorite Dallas landmark (see survey question): the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the Perot Museum, the Granada Theater, Mockingbird Station, or Cotton Bowl Stadium.
Graduate student Graham Mills, foreground, prepares terrestrial laser scanning equipment for a test run in a geosciences lab at UT Dallas while fellow grad student Dimitrios Bolkas adjusts the target object to be scanned.
"We want to raise awareness about how our infrastructure is aging, and some of the challenges we face in prioritizing where to invest limited resources," said Fotopoulos, an associate professor of geosciences who is a geomatics engineer by training. "Creating 3D models of structures is one technique engineers use to help determine a priority list.
"This project also is about getting young people excited about science and engineering, showing them that the type of work scientists and engineers do can be fun, and you can give back to your community."
The project is funded by a grant from the Texas Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which solicited project proposals to help mark its centennial anniversary.
In her research as a geodesist, Fotopoulos is focused on measuring and mapping the surface of the Earth, including the gravity field. In addition to traditional surveying techniques, she also incorporates technologies such as global navigation satellite systems and satellite data to study the surface of the Earth and how it changes over time.
"Because I'm an engineer, I'm also interested in infrastructure such as buildings and bridges, and how they change over time as well," Fotopoulos said. "Projects such as 3D Dallas can help raise awareness of how urban, built areas like Dallas interact with the natural environment."

To date we have people coming from 27 states to the Charlotte Paranormal Investigators Convention. We are offering a Student/Group Discount ticket for the weekend. The link for the $100 week ticket will be at the base of this message. It is your chance to hang with your favorite Paranormal Stars for SyFy, A&E and a host of other networks.
As a result, Paranormal Societies have pop up all over the country. These groups can play an important roll in helping to calm families fears of paranormal activity.
Often these groups are called to homes where children are having nightmares. In many cases, the fears can be put to rest. Example; a number of older homes have wiring grouped together. This can cause high EMF fields that result in people having jittery feelings, headaches and a host of other problems. There are other factors that can often be found.... and then there is the rare occasion that this can not be dispelled. We invite you to join us and learn more!

When the 99% explainable cases fail to produce results with the LGHS investigation team, the remaining 1% begin to document and analyze the data collected at the investigation site to try to determine the possible cause".
Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango technology investigators for the TAPS Team on SyFy's Ghost Hunters will conduct a Q&A both Sat. & Sun. concerning the tech aspects of investigations.
Carmen Reed in which the movie "A HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT" is based

Neighbor Against AIDS (NAA)
NAA started 10 years ago with private sector - where SKF is one of them, joined forces with the publicly-owned companies (Para-statal) to implement HIV and AIDS workplace programme. The primary objective of the initiative is to mitigate the spread of the disease and offer support to those infected and affected.
During the first three years after its inception in 2002, the programme focused on HIV/AIDS awareness building among employees and their families. The activity scope gradually broadened to support local communities, through for instance, a feeding programme for forty families in the slums near the SKF office.
A medical camp was recently established at the Mukuru Promotion Centre, where 410 people from the slums turned up for treatment of general illnesses. More serious cases detected were immediately referred to the hospitals.
The Nairobi Women's Hospital was also invited to conduct a breast cancer awareness day at the camp. Many voluntary doctors, nurses and pharmacists as well as various pharmaceutical companies donated both time and money, which has made the event successful and rewarding.
Other medical camps were also held by the NAA partners in other areas such as the Lunga Lunga Slums, reaching out to 1,000 local residents.
SKF Kenya is also a member of the Swedish Workplace HIV/Aids Programme (SWHAP).

Modify the stats class created in the previous assignment to allow it to store and analyze data sets of different sizes. it should now have an array that holds 100 double values instead of 12. An instance variable numElt will keep track of how many elements in the atrray are being used by a particular instance of the class. All of the Stats class functions should be revised to work with numElt elements instead of 12.
Can someone please guide me as to what exactly i need to do. im kinda confused.
public class Stats { // records array field created to store twelve values private double [] records = new double [12]; // method to set values in array public void setValue(int rainfall, double actValue ) { records[rainfall] = actValue; } public void processRainfallStats() { System.out.printf("The total rainfall for the year is %.2f\n\n", getTotal()); System.out.printf("The average rainfall for the year is %.2f\n\n", getAverage()); System.out.printf("The least rainfall for the year is %.2f\n\n", getSmallest()); System.out.printf("The most rainfall for the year is %.2f\n\n", getLargest()); } // method to calculate total public double getTotal() { double total = 0; for (double tot : records) {total += tot;} return total; } // method to calculate average rainfall in records array public double getAverage() { double average; int total = 0; for (double avg: records) {total += avg;} average = total / records.length; return average; } // method to find largest index value in records array public double getLargest() { double largest = records[0]; // assuming that records[0] is the largest for (double Lag : records) { if (Lag > largest) {largest = Lag;} } return largest; } // method to find smallest index value in records array public double getSmallest() { double smallest = records[0]; // assuming that records[0] is the smallest for (double small: records) { if (small < smallest) {smallest = small;} } return smallest; } }
package leedanielassignment4; import java.util.Scanner; public class StatsTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); // new object of Stats class created Stats myStats = new Stats(); int rainfall; double actValue; // new array of months to be store months String [] months = new String[] {"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August", "September","October","November","December"}; for (int i = 0; i < months.length; i++) { // print method used to set value to month System.out.printf("Please eneter the amount of rainfall for %s:\n ", months[i]); rainfall = i; actValue = input.nextDouble(); if(actValue < 0) {actValue = 0;} // object calling method in class to initiate values myStats.setValue(rainfall, actValue); } // object calls method of stats class to print info myStats.processRainfallStats(); }

Nina Dobrev and Jimmy Fallon went head-to-head in a giant game of Beer Pong on Tuesday's episode of "The Tonight Show."
But first, the "Vampire Diaries" star told Fallon about her horrible experience in Bali. She got bitten by a monkey and the animal damaged a nerve in her arm.
"Now, I have no feeling in my thumb I can move it, obviously, but I have no feeling in it," Dobrev said. "You could caress my thumb, and I'd have no idea that you were."
Finally, the pair faced off in an bouncy beer pong brawl that go pretty heated. Watch the video above.

For some reason, lots of people hate wind farms—I think they're rather pretty!—but NIMBY is a powerful, powerful force. So why not stick 'em far in the breezy sea? Trans-Elect wants to do just that, with Google cash.
The Atlantic Wind Connection is a proposed network of hundreds of at-sea wind farms stretching from New Jersey to Virginia, all linked together, generating as much juice as ten filthy coal plants. Wiring that energy from sea to shore won't be easy, but Google's already putting up dough, along with two other backers.
Trans-Elect says it'll start building the first part of the $5 billion network—from Delaware to Atlantic City—in 2013, with the rest following in 2016. It's never wise to expect anything from those estimates, as a project of this scope is just begging for delays, but the potential is enormous—incentivizing wind power developers to hook their turbines into Trans-Elect's pipe could go a long way to turning the way we charge up in the right direction.
