Jury finds 2 men guilty of killing Ohio toddler
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A jury has determined that two men are guilty of killing a toddler and injuring another one during a shooting last fall in northwest Ohio.
The Blade newspaper of Toledo reports that 21-year-old Keshawn Jennings and 19-year-old Antwaine Jones were convicted today of aggravated murder and felonious assault among other charges.
Prosecutors during the trial contended the men were part of a gang. The state's attorneys said the pair fired into a Moody Manor apartment in Toledo last August after they mistakenly believed a rival gang member was inside. The bullets instead killed a 1-year-old girl and injured her sister.
Surveillance video presented as evidence during the trial showed the pair and another defendant going in and out of an apartment building within the complex just before the shooting.

I think people that are calling it just a love story are greatly downplaying what Yasu is trying to do and what actually happens in the arcs. It's only a love story in a very tenuous sense. What I see Yasu trying to accomplish, with her wide scale murder mystery, is she is trying to engage Battler on a once in a lifetime intellectual level. It's like instead of just playing a game of chess or discussing a mystery with him, he/she is putting him in a game of chess or in the mystery and letting him experience it for himself, while still giving him the ability to fairly challenge him/her.
Calling this just a love story is very, very weak. It's disregarding the whole set-up basically. And this is not even touching upon everything that led up to being able to orchestrate this, the stray feelings between other people involved, and all the reasons that things could not go as planned. I think this is a story of Yasu trying to accomplish something great, and it's a tragedy through the many factors that break down the Ushiromiya family.
I believe a good end for EP8 will be that Yasu's murder mystery is carried out successfully. In the end, no one actually kills anyone and Battler works together with the family and solves the epitaph. Yasu reveals self, everyone becomes happy.

Well if there are new characters this time Ryuukishi didn't want to foreshadow them.
I expect at least one or two new sprites. Hopefully we will finally see Asumu? Damn I'd be really disappointed if we will never get a full account of Asumu's story from her perspective. Of course I'd also like to see how she looked like...
I've been waiting for this to happen since... I think since EP5...
EDIT: as Keriaku said. This isn't just about a "love story". And as I said many times, you are mistaken if you think that Yasu's master plan was done with Battler in mind. EP7 in my opinion shows in many ways that Battler's return was actually the unexpected event that messed up the plan.

I remember Battler talking about that "higurashi no naku koro ni" novel he read, which apparently was a mystery novel of some sort. That apart I can't really remember anything on the top of my head.
@Renall: I'd be actually surprised if there hasn't been a novel, movie or something on those lines which depicted a murder that ended up being just an accident. I can however confirm the existence of a movie with a clear mystery plot with a detective, suspects and all, which in the end showed how the victim actually killed himself with the intention of framing one of his many enemies.
That's actually where I got the idea of the "gun tied to a rope tied to a weight".
And I even liked that twist. Maybe the movie didn't respect the "mystery rules" but it did respect the rules of realism and plausibility which many other stories of this kind tend to ignore.

Wouldn't this be the novel Battler says to have read?

I remember a detective novel that had the actual murder being a suicide and someone making it look like a murder to frame some one else. Regardless there was a culprit that intended to ruin someone's life, the only difference was that the killing would have taken some more time to accomplish and it would have been sanctioned by the government.
I can't really accept the idea that everything is being set up as murder mystery for Battler if he was never shown to be apt (at least in the earlier chapters) in the ways of mystery novels. A riddle maybe, as there have been continued moments of a character making Battler and everyone else for that mater, solve riddles however benign they have been.
e- I remember mentioning Higurashi but it was Lamda speaking with Bern and Bern threatened to spoil the ending for her.

"On that day, on Rokkenjima, what happened?"
Maybe there is a culprit and maybe there isn't.
I don't have any expectations for her anymore after episode 7 though. It's a shame really. I could make a pretty interesting character out of her if I were writing it.

There's _Trent's Last Case_, an early deconstruction of the mystery, in which the detective's reasoning is ultimately revealed to be completely wrong.
There's another book in which, after everything was out, one character remarked the detective had unmasked the conspiracy, had the detective reply, "There was no conspiracy. And I uncovered it by accident."
A Father Brown story had a death by natural causes be disguised to look like a crime so that the detective would be distracted from a planned robbery.

Here, it's not that a non-crime is set up to look like a crime, or even that a non-crime that could be mistaken for a crime is so mistaken. Instead we have a simple non-event (x people enter, ?????, those people are now dead/missing) which is only a crime because outside entities have posited and constructed the possibility that a crime did occur. The police of Ange's world don't seem to think there was a crime, yet there is a flourishing degree of speculation about it. And perhaps there's something to be said for that.
The problem is, the message "a mystery novel's interpretive structure cannot apply to a realistic crime" is... well... self-evident. Nobody's saying otherwise. Nobody ever was saying otherwise. So what conclusion are you trying to make us reach (if that were the solution), ryukishi?
There's a certain synchronicity to "in the absence of information we prefer to believe in rules and rhyme and reason even if we must sacrifice the fundamental humanity of our subject" as it essentially applies to both the fictional layer and the meta-fictional layer, but that really isn't where the series has been going. It's been presenting itself, if not as a mystery, then as something within that genre's sphere of interest. We have been taught to expect rules and structure even as we are taught to question them, but only within a proper framework. In a way, that's all a mystery is.
To lack not only a murder, not only a crime, but any semblance of criminality or guilt - even a suicide has a certain culprit guilt angle to it - just seems to be sacrificing the preceding work for a thematic conclusion that no one was ever really disputing. Of course we'd like it if everyone was innocent; that was why we cheered for Battler in ep2 in the face of impossible odds and a seemingly inevitable realization that he couldn't defend everyone forever. However, that's not what we expect, and if we were led to this expectation by the author, it isn't because he fooled us, but because he lied about the very premise of his work.

Well if that's the real point then I can make another example.
Where the night begins - 1991
There the basic known facts are that a girl killed herself due to the disclosure of an affair she had with the main character's father. The whole movie is constructed to question that thesis showing many different hints and witnesses claiming that that girl is in fact still alive.
The main character therefore makes several researches in order to find the truth, in order to find the proof that the girl didn't kill herself and lived with his father since then.
But guess what? In the end he finds out that the girl actually died. So everything that you were made to question until that point was real. But there's still a plot twist: the girl was killed by the main character'smother to "save the marriage".
Okay this is sort of the opposite of what I'm speculating about umineko, but it still proves the point that it isn't anything knew in narrative to make the reader distrust and question a generally accepted fact only to show up that it was all real. It works provided that you then show another completely unexpected plot twist.

I think there's a difference between having a plot twist in a common novel, as opposed to doing it in a detective novel, though. I do not think you can have plot twists in the latter, unless there were hints toward it - for example, the final chapter on the first volume of Zaregoto.

Well I don't even consider that a twist.
I could point out that from the 1998 perspective this whole story blatantly breaks the Dine rule about the necessity of a clearly identifiable corpse.
In fact one of the earlier opposition to the "explosion theory" back after EP4 was precisely that if the theory was true then there wouldn't be any crime scene to speculate about.
That's exactly this kind of "it must be a mystery novel" mentality that prevented some people to accept the blatant truth of the Rokkenjima accident.

I'm no kind of expert on mysteries, I would actually say that Umineko is the only thing even close to one I've read before.
But what's the problem with viewing the 2 days as a game. Literally, like engaging in a game of chess with someone, but more wide scale with everyone being involved and not necessarily aware of what's going on? Is this somehow a bad way for the situation to turn out? In the end, there never was any kind of intended crime, we as the readers only followed through with Battler's perspective who interpreted the situation this way, who multiple times comes to the conclusion they shouldn't have been worrying about a culprit or anything and trying to solve the epitaph anyways. If you reread the letters signed by Beatrice the Golden, this interpretation seems to fit perfectly.
To me personally, this seems like a fine premise, and it's all the more excellent that we've all been led along by Battler's personal conclusions through the whole series. I think this fits with Battler forgiving Beatrice when he realizes the truth, and that there doesn't need to be a culprit. If anything, the culprit is the emotional instability of the adults. The culprit is the emotions of greed, envy, and suspicion. For a complete story, I'm more than satisfied with this answer.

I don't think anyone has a problem viewing it as a chess game, but that people want a winning resolution. It being an accident, while you can guess it, feels like a compromise, not like a fierce game between a reader and writer. If it happens it doesn't actually feel like Ryukishi07 won or the readers won. It's just there. And I'd argue if you play a game without knowing what's going on you were never really playing to start with.
Us english speakers never had a good chance at solving the epitaph anyways.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt has been diagnosed with early onset dementia.
In a statement from Summitt released by the university on Tuesday the Hall of Fame coach says she plans to coach the Lady Vols during the 2011-12 season, but may have some "limitations." She said that she went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., in May.
The Knoxville News Sentinel first reported Summitt's condition.
The 59-year-old Summitt told the newspaper she plans to rely on medication and mental exercises to manage the progressive condition that could lead to Alzheimer's. She planned to meet with the Lady Volunteers on Tuesday afternoon to inform them of the diagnosis.
Summitt has coached 37 seasons at Tennessee and has 1,071 career victories and eight national championships.

That's the way Bryan Brant feels as he makes his way on horseback across most of the United States. Once confined to a wheelchair and told he would never walk again, he finds himself more vigorous now than when he was younger.
A Canadian, Brant traveled to the Northeast and visited New York and other areas, seeking to retrace his Mohawk Indian (Six Nations) ancestors. He spent the last winter in New York.
A grandfather several times removed was Chief Joseph Brant of the Six Nations.
He started his journey June 12, 2012, just south of St. Louis, Mo., in Illinois. He crossed Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Crossing the Ohio River, he sent through Kentucky and other points before passing through Gilmer Monday morning on his way down Hwy. 155.
His companions are his three horses and Pepper, an Australian Shepherd.
"She's probably walked 5,000 miles," Brant said.
Asked how he supports himself, Brant said "I had some savings. It doesn't take much for me—beef jerky, granola bars, oat meal, stuff like that. And the horses eat for free." At that moment, the horses were having a snack from grass along a fence row.
He camps out every night. "I couldn't stand of the thought of being out in the open every day, then being cooped up at night."
"I've been going backwards," said Brant, who is 41.
He served as a combat medic during the Gulf War, and came down with Gulf War disease. That's what confined him to a wheelchair. VA doctors told him there was nothing they could do, and that he could expect no improvement.
Brant treated himself with alternative medicine, and proved the doctors wrong.
"Actually, I think vaccinations may have caused the problem," he said. "As a medic, I gave vaccinations, but quit taking shots myself when I saw the effect they were having on others."
He said people have generally been kind to him as he travels.
While he was being interviewed for this article, Chris Morrison of Gilmer of Gilmer drove up and let him have his choice of three rope devices designed to keep saddles from slipping off horses.
Chris told Bryan, "someday I might try to do what you're doing."
Pepper is a very well-behaved and good-natured dog.
"She's probably safer than we (him and the horses) are," Brant said. "We are traveling along the roadside, and she'll be off in the woods exploring."
He said he had contemplated going down the entire East Coast from New York to Florida, but said he didn't because of Pepper.
"She likes the water too much. I'm afraid she'd get eaten by an alligator."
Brant has a Facebook page which he updates with pictures from his journey.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Blood Brothers (cont.)
Now, head to Lorimar Street, which is fairly nearby Union Drive East. You may be confused when you arrive near the area shown as your destination on the HUD, however. Seek out scaffolding and building materials outside of this large building and begin climbing up it. Then, use the lift at the top of the scaffold to head up many floors to the building's roof. Once on the roof, cross the building and head into the yellow dot as seen on your HUD.
Now, it's time to make your decision. You received phone calls from both brothers, worrying about the upcoming situation. Francis thinks you'll definitely kill Derrick, while the latter insists you protect him from his corrupt cop brother. The decision you make is up to you, but there are certain things you need to keep in mind. First of all, saving Derrick isn't going to net you anything (likely because it's the choice you want to make). Saving Francis will allow you to call off the cops every so often if you're in trouble (a benefit likely given because it's the choice you don't want to make). There's also a difference in an upcoming funeral-based mission (but nothing more than location, really). Make the choice you want, and then get off of the roof and begin driving away from the location for the mission to end. If you want to know what choice we made, you only need to see one of the screens below. But yes, we killed the crooked cop.

New Signing: Coves
Nettwerk Music Group is excited to announce the signing of UK-based duo Coves to its worldwide label and publishing rosters.
The highly buzzed about 60's infused, indie psych-rock duo released their debut EP Cast A Shadow and follow up single "Last Desire" in 2012, and quickly won the support of BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Nick Grimshaw and more, as well as attention from influential press outlets like NME, The Fly, Clash, Dazed & Confused and The Guardian, who featured Coves in its coveted "New Band Of The Day" column. They also peaked the interest of industry legend James Endeacott, who A&R'd The Strokes and signed The Libertines. Endeacott signed the band to a management deal with his current company, Oh Mercy Management. Coves caught Nettwerk's attention when they played to a ravenous crowd earlier this year at Latitude Festival.
Coves, comprised of singer Rebekah Wood and multi-instrumentalist John Rigard, will headline London's Electrwerkz on November 7 to celebrate the official release of "Beatings" (November 11 in UK; North American release date TBD), the first single from the band's forthcoming debut album. Mixed by Brendan Lynch (Primal Scream, Paul Weller), Clash Magazine says of the track, "With those driving, Spector-esque drums and that sweeping grandeur, theirs is a teenage melodrama fuelled by a passion for noise…swirling psychedelia with a visceral edge."
Coves In The Press:
"'Coves are catchy and cavernous, and in Nico-esque singer Rebekah Wood they have a cruel chanteuse crushing indie hearts with a mere sneer." – NME
"Presenting a sparkling set of silvery pop songs, Coves exude a similarly grizzled attitude to The Kills, bolstering their sassy spirit with tinges of 60s psychedelia…"- The Fly
"It's music that's as tense and urgent as it is brooding and pensive, with savage and sweet lyrics wound around shredded guitars." – Dazed & Confused
"Coves take that idea of the sweet and the savage, of girl-group sass doused in nihilism and noise, and run with it." – The Guardian
"They make 60s-flecked psych-indie, fuzzy and clogged with smoky guitars, but still with an accessible pop charm and a resolute quirkiness that resonates with anyone disillusioned by the Top 40." – The Line of Best Fit
"Magnificent slacker grittiness." - The Independent
"Coves psychedelic-tinged, layered, propulsive spin on rock and roll cast a spell too pronounced to be ignored…" - Loud & Quiet
"A thing of beauty. Pop tones matched by slivers of visceral noise." – Clash
"A shimmering concoction of psychedelic guitar riffs, dreamy yet confident vocals, and quirky beats reminiscent of bands such as Animal Collective or Braids." – Notion
Coves is the latest addition to Nettwerk's expanding label roster, which includes artists like Passenger, Family Of The Year, Ghost Beach, Ladytron, BOY, The Pack A.D. and Boy & Bear, as well as catalogue artists like fun., Old Crow Medicine Show and The Submarines. Stay tuned for more news from Coves.

The Blues have endured a rollercoaster season, and each of their last two victories have been followed by a defeat, while their recent home form has been a particular issue.
Rafa Benitez's men have suffered two consecutive losses in front of their hostile Stamford Bridge crowd, but they are still made clear 1/5 (1.20) favourites with Bet365 to collect all three points this time.
The visitors have improved significantly of late and have lost just twice in their last 11 Premier League games, but with the 5-1 FA Cup thrashing against this opposition still fresh in their minds, they are huge outsiders at 12/1 (13.00) to come away with a win.
Nigel Adkins' men have drawn three of their last four, and would be delighted with a point in West London, at odds of 11/2 (6.50).
Benitez will be frustrated that each time he records an impressive result to almost win over the fans, his side falter to a disappointing loss.
However, as the 4-0 win over Stoke demonstrated, when all of his creative players are on song, they are almost unstoppable.
Despite improving at the back recently, the Saints' 1-0 win over misfiring Aston Villa at the weekend was their first away clean sheet of the season, and they have come away from difficult trips to Arsenal, West Ham and Everton with defeats by at least a two-goal margin.
A similar result seems more than likely against Mata, Hazard and Co. at Stamford Bridge, so odds of 8/13 (1.62) for Chelsea to win with a one-goal handicap are surely too good to pass up.
It took a Southampton goal to wake the Blues up in the FA Cup clash at St Mary's, and they came from behind to win for the second time in three matches.
Considering the visitors have let a lead slip in three of their last four games, it is well worth having a wager on the Londoners winning from a losing position on Wednesday, at attractive 6/1 (7.00) odds.

CANDISC 2012 is history but the cycling memories linger on.
For those who have never ventured to North Dakota, a great way to experience the state, its scenic byways, and its friendly residents is via Cycling Around North Dakota In Sakakawea Country, or CANDISC, as it is commonly referred to.
My wife, Kathie, and I spent our vacation on CANDISC this past August. The blog is finally appearing due to a three month absence of blogging capabilities on the Pratt Tribune's website since I returned to Kansas following the ride. This will be my first of three blogs on the North Dakota experience.
We definitely knew we were in a different place when we awakened to a 53 degree morning in Linton, North Dakota after leaving the hot plains of Kansas behind on the previous day with its 100+ temperatures and lows in the mid 70s to low 80s.
CANDISC is as much a celebration of rural North Dakota as it is a cycling foray. It mirrors Biking Across Kansas in its length, although it's one day shorter, and likewise meanders through the byways and back roads of our far northern neighbor. One difference between Kansas and North Dakota this year, however, is that the rivers up north actually had water in them and the roadsides were mostly green.
If you draw a line straight north out of Pratt and then jump over a couple of meridians west, you will arrive at Garrison, North Dakota, the starting and ending point of the ride.
We were joined by 282 persons on this year's CANDISC, a much smaller number than a typical BAK crowd of 900. Of those 282 cyclists, 25 states were represented, as well as several Canadian provinces, including Winnipeg, Ontario, and Quebec.
The weather throughout the cycling journey was excellent, especially considering the summer we had in Kansas. The event had only one day that surpassed the 90 degree mark and most days had highs in the mid 80s, 70s, and even one day that the temperature never made it out of the 60s. The mornings were always cool, with readings in the 50s and 60s, which made for good sleeping weather.
CANDISC proved to be a well-supported ride, featuring "migrating" porta-potties every 10-20 miles (geese rode atop each one feature different male and female attire each day), which were carried on a trailer from stop to stop. All rest stops offered cold water for riders to hydrate. Pay as you go rest stops featured local baked goods, sports drinks, and pre-packaged energy and protein bars for sale. The best part of the ride came at the end of the day. In addition to showers available at local facilities, riders could opt for the Greater North Dakota Watershed: four private showers contained in a rolling shed with adjustable hot and cold water. To me, life doesn't get much better than that, after having taken numerous communal showers on Biking Across Kansas where the water either froze you or scalded your skin. Two rolling vehicles with bike racks on the back and plenty of seating inside offered an alternative transport to the next town for cyclists who ran out of steam. A bicycle mechanic from Minot also drove up and down the route each day looking for stranded cyclists needing a fix.
Besides the support from the CANDISC organization, the support from the local communities we stayed in each night was outstanding. Besides the local restaurants (which were at times few and far between in small communities along the way) each town offered an evening meal and departing breakfast to cyclists. These meals raised money for local community projects. Additionally, the evening meal in each town featured local entertainment. Cyclists had the option of visiting local swimming pools, museums, movie theaters, and other facilities in the process of discovering each town along the way.
One of the best welcomes CANDISC riders received was in Hebron, ND, where five high school students on foot and with golf carts met incoming cyclists and offered whatever assistance was needed. One young man helped me to carry our luggage, air up our mattress, and cart us to both showers and supper after we had set up our tent. The five students were members of the local high school's Close Up Group and accepted tips toward a planned trip to Washington, DC to observe a session or two of Congress and Senate and also meet with national political leaders.
One thing that makes this ride unique is that participants vote at the end of the ride on their favorites, including best overnight town, best rest stop item, best supper, and best breakfast. The winning towns or groups receive a donation from CANDISC that can be used to support local community projects and organizations. The awards for 2012 included the following: Best Host Community: Mott (population 732). Favorite Breakfast Meal: Hebron (population 754). Favorite Supper Meal: Hazen (population 2,417). Best Rest Stop: Gladstone (population 250) K-Cetts. Best Rest Stop Food Item: Boy Scout Troop 6.
What is CANDISC? It is slowing down to experience North Dakota and its scenic beauty, including prolific blooming sunflower fields and August wheat harvests. It is realizing that the state, like Kansas, is definitely not flat and that its people are friendly and courteous, even if the accent is a little different. It is a rolling journey filled with people from far flung places, each one etching a story in rubber tread upon the North Dakota asphalt.

The NCAA is only the latest organization to announce it's pulling scheduled events out of North Carolina over House Bill 2. But in a state where college athletics are particularly revered, some wonder if losing this year's NCAA championship events will convince state officials to reconsider the controversial state law, NBC News reports.
HB2 mandates that people in government buildings only use restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates. The state's Republican legislators and Gov. Pat McCrory fought hard for the law, but it's been criticized as discriminatory toward the LGBT community.
In the last 65 years, North Carolina has hosted more men's basketball tournament games than any other, and the NCAA's move could put more pressure on state lawmakers to repeal HB2 than ever before.
"I think [the NCAA's decision] is going to get a lot of people speaking about HB2 and realizing that nationwide revulsion against this law is not going away anytime soon," said University of Richmond professor Thad Williamson, who wrote "More Than a Game: Why North Carolina Basketball Means So Much to So Many."

Dragons vary in appearance and behavior from culture to culture. From vicious monsters to benevolent beings, dragons have been both feared and revered. Today, dragons are usually depicted as a reptile like creature with a body similar to an enormous lizard, having four legs, breathing fire, and in the example of the European dragon, having bat-like wings protruding from its back. The word "dragon", in of its self, has a long history, believed to have originated in the Proto-Indo-European "derkesthai", meaning "to see clearly" or "the one with the deadly glance." Later, itevolved into the Greek"drakon" meaning "serpent" or "giant sea fish". Making its way into Latin as "draconem", meaning "huge serpent" or "dragon" it finally became the English word we know today via Old French, some time in the early 13th century. Interestingly, the meaning of the word dragon, from the very beginning, was used to describe both the actual and the mythical. And this is only the etymology of the English word "dragon", not to mention the Chinese languages!
The dragon is associated with so much history and lore that we couldn't possibly scratch the surface here! Dragons have found their way into modern fantasy novels such as The Hobbit and more recently, the Harry Potter series. Whatever your reasons for liking dragons, be it the legends of heroes and the bravery associated with the conquest of them, as a good luck charm, protector or mentor, the Chinese zodiac sign, or perhaps you simply appreciate the dragon for its fearsome appearance, in any case, why not enhance your surrounding with this timeless creature? A steel dragon sculpture will surely create a mystical feeling in your garden, great room,or restaurant. Historically, cartographers used the Latin phrase "hic sunt dracones", meaning "the dragons are here", to denote dangerous or unexplored territories. Can you imagine a steel dragon sculpture on each side of your estate gate, keeping a watchful eye and inspiring the imagination of passerby's? Two feet tall, 20 feet tall? No problem! Our experienced artists can design and create a welded steel dragon sculpture to fit your specific needs, or you may provide a picture or sketch art for our artist to emulate.
Roman Warrior
The armor of ancient Rome gave their warriors a notable advantage over their barbarian enemies. Drawing on Greek and Etruscan design, the Romans later incorporated Celtic and Carthaginian inspired equipment as well. After donning their helmets, coats of mail, greaves (shin armor), shields (containing weighted darts), large broadswords, and a double throwable (a large dart with an iron point of nine ounces and a stock of five and one-half feet), they amassed a considerable amount of weight to carry. You can imagine the warriors of Rome were strong and equally intelligent, striking fear into any that opposed them.
A steel welded Roman Warrior sculpture may be just the accent or centerpiece you've been looking for! Our artist painstakingly create these works of art one weld at a time, the result is a unique, one of a kind masterpiece. The Roman Warrior sculpture will transport you to another time, a time when all was risked or nothing was gained, such was the life of a Roman warrior, poetic and equally brutal. If you want to make a statement or simply add the finishing touch to your Roman themed home, apartment, fair, event, or movie set, contact our staff today. Bring a little bit of Rome to your home!
The lion's name is derived from the Latin leo. Among the feline species, lions are the most social, living in prides, consisting of mostly females, cubs, and a few adult males. Lions tendto assume specific roles in the pride, lionesses do the majority of the hunting for their pride, being smaller and more agile than the males. Lions spend much of their time resting, remaining inactive for about 20 hours per day. Adult lions have no natural predat ors, most die from wounds inflicted by other lions.
The most distinctive feature of the male lion is its mane, giving it a larger appearance, enhancing its ability to intimidate other male lions, and animals competing for food, mainly the spotted hyena. With some males reaching 550 pounds, its no wonder they were revered as "the king of the jungle." Truth is, lions also inhabit savannas, grasslands, brush and forest. Up until about 10,000 years ago, lions were the most widespread large land mammals, aside from humans. Today, lions are rapidly approaching the endangered species list due to loss of habitat and conflict with humans.
The lion head is one of the most popular animal symbols in human culture, dating back as far as the Upper Paleolithic period. A cave painting of two lions mating, found in the Lascaux caves, is believed to be 15,000 years old, and a lion-headed ivory carving from Vogelherd cave in Germany has been dated to be about 32,000 years old! The lioness, being a fierce hunter, was chosen as the Egyptian war deities Bast, Mafdet, Menhit, Pakhet, Sekhmet, Tefnut, and the now famous Sphinx. In Ancient Greece and Rome, the lion was represented as the constellation and zodiac sign Leo. In biblical times, Daniel was delivered from the lion's den. "Singh" is an ancient Indian vedic name meaning "lion", today it is used as a surname by over 20 million Sikhs worldwide.
Lions maintain their popularity as characters in modern literature and film such as: Aslan in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Cowardly Lion in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Simba, in Disney's animated feature film The Lion King. From carvings and cave paintings, to national flags and modern film and literature, the symbol and lore of the lion is here to stay. Though feared for its history of attacking humans, ironically, it is us who draw inspiration from them, inspiring such traits as strength, nobility, and courage. Sales pitch.
Most "wild" horses today, such as the American Mustang, are actually feral horses descended from domesticated animals that escaped and adapted to life in the wild. The only true wild horse never to have been successfully domesticated is The Przewalski's Horse (also known as the Mongolian Wild Horse). It is said the domestication of the horse took place in central Asia prior to 3500 BC, and by 2000 BC was completely domesticated.
Horses are "warm-blooded" creatures, however in the context of equine terminology, the term is used to describe temperament, not body temperature. "Hot-bloods" are more sensitive and energetic, such as the Arabian and Thoroughbred breeds. Bred for agility and speed, they are more suitable for riding. The muscular and heavy "cold-bloods" (aka draft horses) are quieter and calmer, bred not only for strength, but also a patient temperament, qualities needed to pull a plow or a heavy carriage. Draft breeds include the Belgian and the Clydesdale, to name a few.
Up until recently, horses were considered unintelligent, due to thier herd mentality. In contrast, modern studies show that horses can perform cognitive tasks, have the ability to solve problems, and are capable of retaining knowledge. Not only do horses excel at simple learning, they are able to solve advanced cognitive challenges such as categorization and concept learning.The horse appeared in prehistoric cave paintings as far back as 16,000 years. A common theme in ancient Egyptian and Grecian art, simplistic rendering gradually evolved into highly detailed, anatomically correct Classical Greek and Roman works. Some of the more famous historic works of equine art include the Standard of Ur (circa 2500BC) and the Horses of Saint Mark.
The first archaeological evidence of horses used in warfare dating back to 4000 BC. Many cultures revolved around the horse, notably, the Mongols of Mongolia, the Huns, and the American Indians of the GreatPlains.Typically nomadic hunter gatherers, these cultures relied heavily on the horse for transportation, hunting, warfare and trading. Today horses are still valued in the workplace for mounted police, on cattle ranches , in search and rescue teams, and hippo therapy (therapeutic horseback riding). It is estimated 100 million horses, donkeys and mules are still used for agriculture andtransportation in less developed areas.
Pegasus is one of the best known equine based creatures in history. Known as "Friend of the Muses", Pegasus appears in ancient Greek pottery and paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance. The Renaissance period brought a resurgence of the horse in art (previously ushered out by the dominant religious themes), by painters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Andrea Mantegna. In recent times, artworks depicting famous contemporary horses, horse racing, historic cowboys, Native American traditions, and fox hunting continue in popularity. Horses have also been celebrated in such feature films as Born to Buck, The Apaloosa, or more recently, The Black Stallion, Seabiscuit, and Hidalgo.

Waliën family
Waliën (Walyen, Walijen), a Dutch Mennonite family found from the early 17th century until about 1830 among the members of the congregation of Winterswijk, where some of them served as deacons and where shortly after 1600 Mennonite meetings were held in the rear of the house of Hindrick Walien. Occasionally they are also found in the congregation at Almelo and elsewhere. There was a branch of this family at Amsterdam (Lamist church) ca. 1700-60; here too some Waliens were deacons. At Winterswijk they were textile merchants and manufacturers.
According to a family tradition the Waliens, who are found at Bocholt, Westphalia from the 10th century, were expelled from there in 1611 and then with other Mennonites moved to Winterswijk. According to another tradition, they received their family name from the old farm named Waljen near Winterswijk. Mennonite members of this family were also found ca. 1600 at Vreden in Westphalia.

Male Nurses Make More Money
Hospital patients are more likely than ever to see a male nurse at their bedside - and odds are he earns more than the female nurse down the hall. WSJ's Ben Casselman reports on The News Hub.

its kind of hard to explain.
Im making a resorce editor program. for now I can extract resources from any file knowing only which kind of folders the resoures are in (ex. "PNG" "UIFILE") I give the program order to extract this folder and it gets all the resources and extracts into folder. So far so good. Now when I have to replace a resource comes a problem: I know how I could replace resource in file but for these I need to know what type the resource is (ex "PNG" or "UIFILE") AND which id the resource is (686, 678). There comes the problem, even tho I know the resource ID I need to determine which type is it. I was thinking creating datatable for it: ex columns resname, id, reslocation and add rows for each resource extracted and when need to replace then read the table, but maybe there is better way of doing this.
I thought that maybe something like this would solve my problem: creating table, but im not familar with tables
ID ResName ResType ResLoc

1 587 BMP C:\users....
Hope you'll guys get the point, any help really appreciated

CPSIA Compliant
In the last few months there have been a lot of changes to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). The constant amendments to the law have left most consumers unclear about the improvements and the respective timelines that they should expect to see from companies like BabyLegs. For your benefit, we have created these FAQs, which we will continually update, to help you stay informed.
What is the Consumer Product Safety Act?
In response to the recent increase in reports of lead and toxins, as well as potential choking hazards of children's' toys, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in August of 2008. The law requires extensive third-party testing requirements on all items produced for children less than 12 years of age for lead, phthalates and choking hazards. It also requires permanent labeling of each item with a date and batch number.
To find out more please click here.
Are Babylegs products compliant with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regulations?
Yes. We have tested our product, and it meets all requirements put forth by the CPSIA. We have taken the CPSIA's new legal requirements very seriously and understand the impact this law has on both consumers and retailers. Please click here for our Certification of Compliance.
When will companies need to comply with this new law?
There are many different requirements for this law and therefore many different timelines. The CPSIA site provides a timetable, which you can view here.

Chocolate Truffle Tart with Vanilla Crème Brulee Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #20
Twenty pies! There are just a few more to go this week as we count down to a reader vote-off for the category winners in this Best Pie Bakeoff. Next week we'll show you our editorial picks for Special Mentions. And we all go home the richer for some fabulous new recipes.
Here's the next up in that list of new recipes: another chocolate truffle tart. (Did you see the chocolate bourbon version last weekend?) This one has a full round of one of our favorite flavorings: vanilla, as well as the best of both worlds for two of our favorite desserts. Read on for more of Mary's sweet creation.
Where is this recipe from? My blog: Alpineberry, but it was inspired by a photograph in "The Secrets of Baking" by Sherry Yard.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? My chocolate truffle tart with vanilla crème brulee is the best recipe because it combines the best of both worlds. I love crème brulee and I love chocolate tarts. Indecision inspired me to combine the two into one single dessert. I know it seems like a crazy concoction, but everyone agreed that it was delicious. The creamy custard with the crispy caramelized sugar combined with the rich chocolate truffle encased in a sweet sugar cookie crust is the ultimate indulgence.
I'm not very good at rolling out dough for pies or tarts. My rolled doughs usually end up looking more like Wisconsin than a nice circle. But this dough is easily pressed into the tartlet pans which is so much easier than rolling. And because heavy cream is used instead of water, very little gluten develops so the scraps can be worked several times without toughening. Sugar also helps keep the dough tender. You end up with a delicate and sweet crust much like a sugar cookie.
Chocolate Truffle Tart with Vanilla Crème Brulee
Ingredients for Crème Brulee
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
6 large egg yolks
Additional sugar to caramelize the tops
7 (4 3/4-inch x 3/4-inch) tartlet shells made with Sweet Almond Cookie Crust, prebaked (see recipe below)
1 recipe Chocolate Truffle Cake Batter (see recipe below)
Directions for crème brulee:
1. Preheat oven to 300F. Make sure you have a 9x13 inch baking pan and another baking pan large enough to hold the 9x13 inch pan.
2. Bring the cream, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla bean and scraped seeds to simmer in a large nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, cover pan with lid and let cream steep for 15 minutes.
3. Gently whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl.
4. Remove the vanilla bean and gently whisk the cream into the egg yolks. When the cream and egg yolks are incorporated, strain the mixture through a fine meshed strainer into a clean heatproof bowl.
5. Pour the mixture into the 9x13 inch baking pan and set it in the larger pan. Add enough hot water to the larger pan to come up halfway up the sides of the 9x13 inch pan. Cover loosely with foil (Take care not to let the foil touch the crème brulee.) Bake at 300F until crème brulee is set, about 40-45 minutes. Remove pan from water bath and set on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
6. Remove crème brulee from the freezer. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet pan. Run the edge of a paring knife dipped in hot water around the crème brulee. Flip the crème brulee out onto the parchment paper. (If you have trouble getting the crème brulee out of the pan, place the inverted pan on the parchment paper lined baking sheet pan, and warm the bottom of the pan with a warm towel or with a hair dryer. The heat will "loosen" the crème brulee.) Cut out seven circles using a 3 1/2- or 4-inch cookie cutter. Immediately place the circles back in the freezer until it's time to brulee the tops and assembly your tarts. You will have some crème brulee leftover.
Chocolate Truffle Cake Batter
(Yields enough cake batter to fill seven 4 3/4-inch x 3/4-inch tartlets shells)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour, sifted
Directions for cake batter:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. In a bowl set over a pan of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water), combine the chocolate and butter and stir occasionally until smooth and melted. Set aside.
3. In the bowl from a stand mixer heat the 4 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk and sugar, set over the same pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally to prevent curdling, until mixture is just warm to the touch.
4. Attach bowl to the stand mixer, and using the whisk attachment, beat on medium speed until just lemony yellow and doubled in volume.
5. Whisk the flour into the chocolate mixture. On low speed, add the chocolate mixture to the eggs all at once. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to mix until well combined, about 1 minute. At this point the cake batter can be refrigerated, tightly wrapped, for up to 5 days. Or you can use it right away.
Sweet Almond Cookie Crust
(Yields enough dough for seven 4 3/4-inch x 3/4-inch tartlets)
2 ounces ground blanched almonds
3 tablespoons superfine or granulated sugar
4 ounces (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 ounces (1 cup) all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions for dough and prebaking the crusts:
1. In a food processor, add the ground almonds and sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter cubes and pulse about 15 times or until no loose bits of almonds/sugar remain. Add the flour and salt and pulse about 15 times or until the butter is about the size of small peas.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk and the cream. Add it to the mixture in the food processor bowl and pulse until the ingredients are just barely incorporated, about 8 times.
3. Dump the mixture into a plastic Ziploc bag and flatten the dough. Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm enough to pat into the tartlet pans.
4. For seven 4 3/4-inch x 3/4-inch tartlets, divide the chilled dough into 7 equal portions. Press each piece of dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of each tartlet pan. Chill the tartlet shells in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
5. Preheat the oven to 425F. Bake for 5 minutes at 425F. If the dough starts to puff in places, prick it lightly with a fork or press down lightly with your fingertips. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F and continue baking for another 5-8 minutes or until it turns pale gold, feels set but is still soft to the touch. Cool tartlet shells (still in the pans) on a wire rack.
To assemble the tarts:
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Pour cake batter into the seven prebaked tartlet shells. It's okay to fill the shells all the way to the top. (You might have some batter left over.) Bake at 375F for 13-16 minutes until the filling is just set and slightly wobbly in the center. Allow tartlets to cool for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove the tartlet from the pans.
2. Remove the crème brulee circles from the freezer and place one circle on top of each tart. Sprinkle each circle with about 1 tsp sugar and caramelize the tops using a kitchen torch. Serve immediately.

|The wilderness of The Burren, County Clare. Bob's family history is somewhere out there.
Great post Jennifer! Very frustrating for you -and also Bob no doubt. I wonder if Irish research is particularly prone to this kind of "outside in" research given how many challenges it sets us to find the right family. I'm a big believer in the valuer of collateral lines -with the same caveats!ReplyDelete
A lot of time I get the same "gut" feeling, but I do not add them until
I feel comfortable that I can chisel it in stone.
Most of the time my gut feelings are accurate but I have to have the names and dates fit.
When I read this post I smiled because I have been 'Bob', and I wondered if you were following me around.
I completely understand his frustration since he's been searching for so many years, but I'd like to say to him when you find the truth about where the famous person actually fits into your family tree it's going to be so much more satisfying for you than jamming together things that just don't fit.
Hi Pauleen, and Hi Claudia, and Hi Charlotte,
Thank you to each one of you for your comments. I really appreciate hearing from you.
Pauleen, you certainly make a good point in saying that Irish research may be particularly prone to this kind of research given the challenges we face. I often thank my lucky stars that I don't have a surname such as 'Murphy' in any of my lines.
Claudia, I too believe in gut feelings and rejoice that they often take me in the right direction, but everything has to fit, as you say.
Charlotte, Thanks for being so honest, and bringing a smile to my face this morning. I think you make a really good point about how satisfying it is when we find the real connections for which we're searching.
Cheers to each one of you,
I confess, Jennifer, that I've been tempted to follow that same path--like when I (and a lot of other Booth descendants) hear that word-of-mouth story that we are related to John Wilkes Booth--until I realize how hopeless an attempt it would be to find the connection from the outside in, as you call it.
On the other hand, I sometimes feel hopeless about finding our Irish ancestors. They seem so anonymous going back before a certain point in time. Despite your comment about being lucky that your surnames aren't common, I once found a family name--Johanna Falvey of County Kerry--and thought I was lucky, too. What an unusual name! Until I did some research and found that at that time, Johanna as a given name was not that unusual...and that Falvey in County Kerry could be considered something akin to Smith in America!
Better to seek for those serendipitous finds like my two Tully parallel lines, both later producing the same priest's letter confirming the record of their ancestor's 1800s baptism. I only wish I could stumble upon more items like that!
Hi Jacqi,
Thank you for your comments; they are always appreciated. Congratulations on your great finds! You'll be making Bob jealous. :):)
Although I am relieved that I have no Murphys in my tree I do have lots of Magees, Kellys, O'Tooles, and Fitzpatricks, not to mention a couple of Malones.
Cheers to you,
Great post, Jennifer. I have met a lot of Bobs wanting to prove a connection to a famous Scot (Rob Roy, Flora MacDonald, Robert the Bruce) because "Grandad always said we were related". My own Grandmother claimed she was the great great granddaughter of Robert Moffat, the missionary. Yes we have the name Moffat in the family, but despite extensive research, there is no proof, and it seems unlikely. Perhaps someone jokingly told her about the connection when she was young, and she continued to believe it...ReplyDelete
Hi Jo,
Thanks for your comments; it's lovely to hear from you. I'm sure there are lots of Bobs out there. My Welsh born friend Bryan is on the opposite end of things; his father used to tell him they were related to horse thieves. Turns out he is distantly connected to the British Royal family. I think he'd rather be related to the horse thieves.
Cheers to you,

Preseason WBL Basketball Glance: Celina
With the high school basketball season just two weeks away, every day before the season starts we'll take a glance at a WBL squad.
The Evening Leader's Winter Sports Preview will be inserted in the newspaper on Tuesday, Nov. 29, featuring winter sports team pictures, schedules, rosters and previews from teams from St. Marys, Minster, New Bremen and New Knoxville.
Celina Bulldogs
Click to See a Celina team photo, roster, schedule and 2010-2011 leaders: http://www.scribd.com/doc/73026267/Celina-BBB-Flier
Lettermen Lost: 8
Returning Lettermen: 3
2010-2011 Record: 19-4, 8-1 WBL (champions), lost in district tourney to Van Wert
Key Players: Scott Moeder (5-10, G, Sr., 6.1 PPG, 4.8 APG, 1.1 RPG), Clayton Hoyng (6-0, G, Sr., 8.5 PPG, 2.2 APG, 1.8 RPG)
The Scoop: Celina begins the 2011-2012 boys basketball season searching for a core group to replace a group of eight seniors that led the Bulldogs to the regional tournament two seasons ago and a district appearance last season.
"Overall experience is a concern," seventh-year head coach Chris Bihn said. "We lost eight seniors who played. That is not easily replaced."
"We will need to work hard on rebounding and defending the paint," Bihn added
Where there is experience back is the guard position, where Scott Moeder and Clayton Hoyng received substantial minutes as juniors. Derek Waterman also earned a letter last season and will step into the rotation. "Our guard play should be a strength this year as we have three guards returning with experience," Bihn said.
"We will will be young this season, but we do have a core of experience. We will play hard and fast, hopefully be able to go deep on the bench," Bihn said.

January 2013 marks the beginning of an exciting journey for 12 adventurous students at the University of Delaware. In their Winter Study Abroad session, these students will embark on the University's first expedition to Cambodia and Vietnam. The goal of this 27-day program is to give students the opportunity to explore the rich wildlife and unique history of Cambodia and Vietnam, while at the same time fulfilling two Wildlife Conservation courses: Conservation of Southeast Asian Wildlife and People and Wildlife of Southeast Asia. The students will venture on this journey with an Art study abroad program fulfilling–Indigenous Arts of Southeast Asia and Documentary Photography–led by Jon Cox, assistant professor of art.
The students will be blogging about their experience throughout winter session.
"All of our [conservation] programs have a human component, and look at how humans impact conservation. South East Asia has a long history, dating back much farther than most areas of the world," says Jacob Bowman, associate professor of wildlife ecology, and one of the faculty members leading the study abroad session.
According to Bowman, these war-torn countries offer students an unusual view on culture and wildlife, as many of the region's mountainous areas have been mostly untouched by humans (other than guerillas) throughout the war, thereby preserving the habitats of the indigenous animals.
"There are still tigers, elephants, leopards and a lot of large mammals left in some of these remote areas, partially because for a long time it was dangerous for people to go into these areas," Bowman explains.
The program begins in Vietnam, where students visit ancient temples of Angkor Wat, journey through the Mekong River and the dated tunnels used in the Vietnam War. Next, in Cambodia, students will experience unique wildlife and learn first-hand about conservation issues. Students will study Cambodia's history and people by visiting various locations, including sacred temples and the historical killing fields, where large numbers of people were killed after the Cambodian Civil War. It is from this visit to the killing fields that Bowman expects students to be the most affected.
"When you go there and see a tower of skulls from all the people that have been killed, it's a powerful experience. Hopefully students walk away realizing how bad humans can be, and how we continue to not learn from our own historical mistakes."
A strong conservation issue to be examined is how overpopulated countries over-hunt their wildlife, and how these countries could benefit from developing an eco-friendly balance. Says Bowman, "Because it [Asia] has such a large population, it tends to overexploit its resources. There is almost no wildlife here because of the economic dilemma. People care about the wildlife, but their situation prevents them from conserving. They are just trying to feed their families and survive day to day."
While Bowman says the University supported his choice of studying in Cambodia and Vietnam, the group is still being careful in these areas. UD students will interact with students from The Royal University of Phnom Penh and will predominantly stay in hotels throughout the trip, as it is safer than camping.
Bowman, who along with Cox, has run numerous study abroad programs to Tanzania, Australia, and Antarctica, is very excited for this new trip, and for the students. "Being able to interact with the students in a way where you can get them thinking about things cognitively instead of just strict classroom assignments is very satisfying. If something happens, the group is small enough to talk about it." He relates a story that on one of his trips to Africa, he came face to face with a lion at night. "Stuff like that is hard to put into words, but particular things happen on every trip, and that is what builds impressions."
What Bowman really hopes each student walks away with is a new point of view. He hopes this journey will open their eyes about the challenges of conservation on an international arena, where they will witness a form of living very different from their own.
According to Carly Costello, a UD junior majoring in animal science and taking this in-demand program, "It's all about the first-hand experience. I'm excited to experience another culture; everyday things that we think are ordinary are so different to them, and vice versa."

Timed Divs HTML
This page specifies a subclass of HTML documents that is a time-aligned text format for audio-visual content. We call the format "timed divs within HTML" or TDHT. It is intended to be used only in a World Wide Web context i.e. everywhere that Web browser functionality is available. Use cases for the format are subtitles, captions, annotations and other time aligned text as listed at http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggText#Categories_of_Text_Codecs .
TDHT may be similar to W3C TimedText DFXP in many respects, but in comparison to DFXP it does not re-invent HTML, CSS and effects, but rather uses existing HTML, CSS and javascript for these. The purpose of DFXP is to create a web-independent exchange format for timed text, which is why it cannot directly be specified as a subpart of HTML.
TDHT in contrast is HTML with a minimum number of changes. TDHT is parsable by any HTML parser. It works with CSS and javascript. No new functionality has to be defined for TDHT.
File Extension
Files in this format are to be of text/x-tdht mime type.
Files in this format should have a file extension of .tdht .
The TDHT format restrictions from HTML
TDHT files are time-aligned text. This means there is a time association with blocks of text and there is time-based seeking functionality on those blocks of text.
Here is an example TDHT file for subtitles:
  <title>Desperate Housewives - Season 5, Episode 6</title>

Previously on...

We had an agreement to keep things casual.

Susan made her feelings clear.

So if I was with another woman, that wouldn't bother you? No, it wouldn't.

Right now, TDHT is based on HTML4.01, but it should also be possible to work on HTML5, which is still in flux.
The following restrictions to HTML4.01 are imposed on TDHT:
1. The body element
In HTML4.01, the body element is defined as follows:
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (%block;|SCRIPT)+ +(INS|DEL) -- document body --> <!ATTLIST BODY
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- onload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been loaded -- onunload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been removed -- >
In TDHT1.0 we restrict it to the following:
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (DIV|SCRIPT)+ -- document body --> <!ATTLIST BODY
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- onload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been loaded -- onunload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been removed -- >

It is among the most important decisions a university makes and is never taken lightly. Outside of academia, however, there is little shared understanding of tenure, its rigor and significance. For that reason, and because Gonzalez's appeal has generated a number of questions, the FAQ below may be helpful in understanding the tenure process at Iowa State.

April 13, 2012 — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) on Thursday signed into law a bill (HB 2036) that includes several abortion restrictions, including a ban on the procedure after 20 weeks of gestation in nearly all cases and other limits on abortion, Reuters reports (Schwartz, Reuters, 4/12). The law will take effect 90 days after the Legislature ends its session, which is expected to occur this month (Beard Rau, Arizona Republic, 4/12).
Under the law, the state will define gestational age as beginning on the first day of a woman's last menstrual cycle, rather than at fertilization, which occurs about two weeks later (Yarrow, Daily Beast, 4/12). Abortion after 20 weeks would be allowed if continuing the pregnancy would result in the woman's death or "create [a] serious risk substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function," which would be determined by a physician's "good faith clinical judgment" (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/11).
Medication Abortion Restrictions
While the 20-week ban has been the most widely debated provision, a section of the law restricting medication abortion likely will have the broadest effect on women seeking abortion care in Arizona, according to the Daily Beast (Daily Beast, 4/12). The legislation bans physicians from prescribing medication abortion drugs after seven weeks of gestation (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/11). Medication abortion, which typically is used within the first nine weeks of gestation, accounts for about 17% to 20% of all abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute. By comparison, about 1% of abortions are performed after 20 weeks.
The law also mandates that abortion providers have hospital privileges within 30 miles of where the procedure takes place. Women use medication abortion drugs in homes, as well as at in clinics, which might not be within 30 miles of a hospital, noted Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute. According to Nash, the medication abortion provision in the law is based on outdated protocols, which could confuse providers and prevent proper use of the drugs (Daily Beast, 4/12).
Other Provisions
The measure also increases the current state requirement that a woman receive an ultrasound one hour before an abortion to 24 hours. In addition, the state must create a website showing the various stages of fetal development and describing the risks of abortion, as well as contact information for adoption agencies (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/11).
Other provisions of the law stipulate that public school sex education classes prioritize birth and adoption, and that abortion clinics post signs warning against abortion coercion. It also mandates that women undergo counseling if they are seeking an abortion because of fetal abnormalities. If an abnormality would be fatal to the fetus, the counseling must include information about perinatal hospice care. The law also affirms existing abortion restrictions, such as notarized parental consent for minors seeking abortion care.
Jordan Goldberg of the Center for Reproductive Rights said the group is reviewing the legislation and considering a possible court challenge by abortion providers. Under the measure, the "women of Arizona can't access medical treatment that other women can," she said.
Nash said the law is a mishmash of elements from other states' bills, adding that much of the language seems to come from the group Americans United for Life. "The point is to make it so difficult to provide abortions that no one will do it," Nash said (Daily Beast, 4/12).

First some background.
Win2k server that was infected with the tk worm. I was able to remove the bot fairly easily, followed by speach no. 106 regarding the importance of virus protection and keeping your system patched.
What I have now after running netstat is a very large group of sequential ports (1024,1025,1026,1027.......etc) on the server connected to the ldap port on the same server.
Its making (estimate) a hundred or more connections to itself. Rebooting doesn't clear them.
It is running Exchange 2000, dns,dhcp and wins.
I have researched google, microsoft and any number of hack/crack sites looking for information on wether this is a bug or another symptom of a hacked system. I am tempted to err on the side of caution and recomend we rebuild his server, but I thought maybe someone here would have an idea or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

BURNABY, BC - Two rising stars on the Canadian soccer scene returned to Whitecaps FC training today following their run with Canada's U-23 Olympic team at the 2012 CONCACAF men's Olympic qualifying tournament in the United States. While Canada's attempt fell just short, there were plenty of positives to take away for 18-year-old Bryce Alderson and 19-year-old Russell Teibert, who demonstrated both maturity and consistency at the international level. Central midfielder Bryce Alderson played 90 minutes in Canada's opening draw against El Salvador, while Teibert started all four of the Canada's matches at left back, including the biggest upset of the tournament, a 2-0 victory over the United States.
Following training, Teibert spoke with the media:
