Forty Under 40
Alex Sugarman, the club's senior vice president of strategy and development, is already busily laying the groundwork for a coming wave of changes.
A key adviser to team owner Tom Ricketts, Sugarman recently played a lead role negotiating a broad partnership with Starwood Hotels and Resorts in which the Ricketts family and Starwood will co-develop a boutique hotel across the street from Wrigley Field. Sugarman is also a central figure in the club's emerging $300 million plan to renovate Wrigley Field and is helping shape the team's strategy for its future TV rights that will partially be in play following the 2014 season.
At once, Sugarman is a primary touch point in the Cubs' intersection with facility development, media rights, ticketing and analytics.
"All the big areas of change in the industry are converging on this franchise right now," Sugarman said. "It's a very exciting time for us."
As an associate with Galatioto Sports Partners, Sugarman advised the Ricketts family on the then-industry record $845 million purchase of the Cubs in 2009. He joined the club soon after the deal closed. He was promoted to his current role just last month.
"The dynamics of working with Sal [Galatioto, GSP president] and a club are completely different," Sugarman said. "But the Cubs have a terrific platform and a very unique opportunity in front of us."

Three Stratford teens arraigned in Bridgeport slaying
Updated 10:20 am, Friday, November 2, 2012
BRIDGEPORT -- A swelling crowd tried to push its way into a Golden Hill Street courtroom Thursday for the murder arraignment of three Stratford teens, only to be turned away by a line of judicial marshals, state and local police.
Hoping to avoid the melee in court Wednesday when two local men were arraigned for the same crime, Superior Court Judge Earl Richards barred the courtroom doors, allowing only the defendants' mother to squeeze through.
Forced out to the front steps of the courthouse, where more police were standing guard, several young men yelled curses at the front doors.
"There are too many young boys with guns in this city, that's the crime," said one woman, who refused to give her name. "Put that in your newspaper."
Khaliq Brown, 17, Joseph Humphrey, 16, and Jaquan Williams, 17, were the latest arrests in what people at the courthouse said is a growing gang problem in the city. Residents said the latest gang-related killing on Tuesday was triggered by a comment on Facebook.
The three teens, who were charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder, were ordered held in lieu of $1 million and their cases were continued to Nov. 13.
On Wednesday, a melee broke out in the courtroom as their companions, Roshawn Robinson, 20, and Kayne Minor, 18, were arraigned.
On Tuesday, 19-year-old Justin Nwalozie, a student at Harding High School, was gunned down at the intersection of Hallett and Shelton streets.
Police said Nwalozie was walking along the street with some friends shortly after 5 p.m. when shots rang out from a passing red sport-utility vehicle with tinted windows. As Nwalozie lay dying in the street from a gunshot wound in the back he was urged by detectives to name his killer.
"It was a red Durango, there were two guns," he gasped before passing out. He later died at Bridgeport Hospital.
A short time later police pulled over the suv on Central Avenue. Inside they found the five young defendants.
Police said they also found two handguns.
Police know that at least two of the young men in the SUV were shooting at the victim but haven't identified them at this time.

IMO, very few devices should attach at acpi, but autoconfiguration should use ACPI data, when it is available, for the "direct" configuration of devices that we would otherwise have to probe for.Was there ever a disagreement on that?
Well, one place where this might not work is for ACPI-accessible i2c busses! The acpi code might well be manipulating the bus without obeying any i2c_acquire_bus() locking mechanism implemented in the "native" pci-based drivers, with unpredictable results. (Consider the case where an acpitz might be using an i2c-connected sensor...)
I fail to see how the API that was just committed will not result in a #if NACPI > 0 block every time it is used.
Yeah, and that would be, ahem, ugly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Paul Goyette | PGP DSS Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | Customer Service | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee.com | | Network Engineer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at juniper.net | | Kernel Developer | | pgoyette at netbsd.org | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simon, all, Andrea Petz and I would like to volunteer to act as editors on e2r. We will work on the call but we would like to see the deadline for submissions a good period behind ICCHP (July 11-13) as we do hope to establish contacts there. Greetings Andrea&Klaus >>> Simon Harper <email@example.com> 23.05.2012 16:54 >>> Hi everyone, Today's topic involved a discussion regarding the interrelated topics of 'text customisation' and 'easy to read'. We decided that two seminars would be best, but 'easy to read' does not yet have editors. If 'easy to read' will be our 4th topic (predicated on volunteers for editor duties) then we wanted to interrelate the pre-calls and calls (as well as the seminars and the products thereof); however, if we cannot get editors then 'easy to read' will not occur and so mentioning it on the 'text customisation' pre-call will be confusing. It is my firm intention to get the 'text customisation' pre-call out next Wednesday after the call, and so we need to know if there are volunteers to take on the editorship of 'easy to read' so that we can cross link. If there are no volunteers then 'easy to read' will be shelved - until we have some - and the 'text customisation' pre-call can proceed without modification. In this case if you would like to volunteer as an editor (we would normal ask for 2 or 3) then please reply to the group before Tuesday 29th, so that we have a short amount of time to add some small clarification text to the 'text customisation' pre-call. Cheers -- Si. PS I check my email at 08:00 and 17:00 GMT. If you require a faster response please include the word 'fast' in the subject line. ======================= Simon Harper http://simon.harper.name/about/card/ University of Manchester (UK) Web Ergonomics Lab - Information Management Group http://wel.cs.manchester.ac.ukReceived on Thursday, 24 May 2012 07:56:23 UTC

So there's no need to have a stressful property care issue at home to worry about as well. But don't stress, your local North London team of expertly trained property care experts are available to provide you with professional damp proofing, wood rot and wood worm treatments.

Our North London branch of surveyors and technicians always endeavour to supply our local residents the highest quality local property care services, with the full backing of an entire nationwide company. The North London branch of Rentokil Property Care provides you with:
Barnet covers a group of hills on the northern edge of the London Basin and has two Grade I Listed buildings: the Church of St Jude, the parish church of Hampstead Garden Suburb. Church Farmhouse Museum on Greyhound Hill in Hendon is a grade II* listed 17th-century farmhouse. Friern Hospital was a large Victorian psychiatric hospital in Barnet, which has now been converted into modern flats. Harrow is an area of contrast, with high levels of affluence in spots such as Harrow-on-the-Hill, and Stanmore and levels of deprivation in areas like as Wealdstone.
Harrow is focusing regeneration on Wealdstone and South Harrow and many new 'key service workers'-type flats are springing up. There has been an increase in property redevelopment of existing Edwardian and 1920s to 1940s housing stock, which in turn is attracting new residents looking for a clean, safe, and relatively green environment to live in, close to central London.
Homes of any age, size or style can be at risk of damage from woodworm, rot and damp. These kinds of problems tend be more noticeable in older properties, such as Georgian, Victorian and early 20 Century buildings or those that have been repurposed or refurbished over time. Unfortunately, the damage that can be caused is not always immediately obvious.
"I have been with Rentokil for four years, having previously studied Building Surveying at university. I was an area surveyor for three years and was promoted to Branch Manager at the start of 2016. I always aim to provide the best level of service and advice to provide the best and most economic level of service to our customers."

We ensure that our North London team have the knowledge and expertise to resolve any property care issue you may have. Specialist technicians are on hand in and around North London to help keep your home free from woodworm, wood rot and damp. With over 60 years of experience in treating rising damp, fungal decay and wood-boring beetles, you can be sure that we wont let you down.

Originally posted on FOX Sports | Last updated 1/3/13
Want to know why Justin Upton still might get traded? Consider: - The Arizona Diamondbacks have a surplus of outfielders after signing Cody Ross to a three-year, $26 million free-agent contract. - At least three teams -- the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners and Atlanta Braves -- have expressed strong interest in Upton, according to major-league sources. - Jason Kubel, the other outfielder whom the D-backs could move, is under club control for only one more season, and carries less trade value than Upton. The Diamondbacks, though, continue to send mixed signals about their intentions. Some in the industry say that the club prefers to trade Kubel. Others, however, insist that the team wants to move Upton. The Mariners, in particular, are eager -- some say desperate -- to add a hitter. They have checked in on all of the big bats, from the Los Angeles Dodgers' Andre Ethier to the Miami Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, sources say. They also have had dialogue with Scott Boras, the representative for free-agent center fielder Michael Bourn, but seemingly would prefer to add a slugger. Upton is perhaps the Mariners' most realistic pursuit, according to one source with knowledge of the team's thinking. The Mariners have had "on-and-off" discussions with the D-Backs the entire offseason, sources said. Earlier this winter, the Diamondbacks did not consider the Mariners a match -- the M's are deep in young pitching, and that area also is one of the D-Backs' strengths. But the D-Backs, who since have traded right-hander Trevor Bauer, might be more receptive to a pitching-heavy return now. The problem: The Mariners are on Upton's four-team no-trade list -- and Upton, who is building a home in Arizona, is not inclined to approve a deal to Seattle, sources say. Upton, 25, is under contract for $38.5 million over the next three seasons. The Mariners could offer him an extension as an enticement to waive his no-trade rights, if the teams agreed upon a deal. Then again, Upton simply might prefer to go to Atlanta, where he could join his brother, center fielder B.J. Upton, or Texas, where he would join a club that has made three straight playoff appearances. Other teams, perhaps the New York Yankees, also could be interested. The Braves "made strong overtures" for Upton earlier in the offseason, one source said, but came away thinking that the Diamondbacks were not motivated to move him. The Rangers thought they were close to a trade for Upton at the winter meetings, but remain unwilling to meet the Diamondbacks' price of either shortstop Elvis Andrus or shortstop Jurickson Profar. The team, sources say, would prefer to structure a deal around third baseman Mike Olt. The D-backs still could keep both Kubel and Upton, playing them in right and left field, respectively. Ross then would play mostly in center, Gerardo Parra and Adam Eaton would be the extra outfielders and A.J. Pollock would return to the minors. Such an alignment would require the D-Backs to open the season with approximately a $95 million payroll, according to the Arizona Republic -- a jump from $74.2 million last Opening Day after the team's average attendance increased by less than 1,000, going from 25,992 in 2011 to 26,884 in '12. The other problem with keeping all of the outfielders is that general manager Kevin Towers is a huge proponent of Eaton's, and that many of the Diamondbacks' players believe that Parra deserves to play more. Upton, for his part, indicated Thursday that he is weary of being the subject of trade talk for the third time in two years. "Appreciate the support," Upton told fans in a tweet from an apparent tropical location. "This is the view from my hotel room. Going to enjoy it and not worry about this trade nonsense."

Network Analysis I: Introduction
- Ann McCranie, Indiana University
This course will lay the groundwork for social network analysis (SNA) from conceptual, statistical, empirical and computational foundations. We will draw on the rich multidisciplinary history that has shaped the field's development - incorporating perspectives from sociology, physics, mathematics, statistics, and public health.
SNA differs from other analytic perspectives in ways that require unique strategies for data collection, storage, descriptive and statistical analyses. The course will address each of these strategies by surveying a range of the most commonly used analytic techniques. We will demonstrate their empirical applications and computation using the R programming language.
We will discuss topics including data collection, network representation, summaries of networks including social balance, distance, density, and centrality, clustering, and an introduction to statistical models for large scale inference. While by no means exhaustive, this introduction will provide an overview of the fundamental tools available for SNA.
Software: All analyses in this course will be conducted in RStudio (using packages like igraph, statnet, gergm, and ergm packages), with basic prior experience with R required.
Fees: Consult the fee structure.
Tags: network analysis, social structures, sociogram, dyadic analysis, graph theory, social network diagram, actor interrelations

text: New River Mike If you already have the Thule rails installed and want the capability of carrying your canoe or kayak, please consider the #579 I have for sale. This system REQUIRES the Thule rails, which is why I'm selling it - my racks aren't the right size for this system. Here's the link to the item on the Thule website: http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?dept_id=10&sku=579xt The website states that the #579xt (illustrated) replaces the #579 I've got, which I purchased a little over a year ago. I'm guessing the difference is a ratcheting strap to replace the "friction-lock" version I have - but Thule could say for sure. I know mine has 2 straps, 4 gunwale stops, and 2 buckle protectors. It's still in the original box. I don't need mine any more as I've purchased a "Rail-N-Rack" system for my truck that doesn't accept the Thule system. I've only used two of the gunwale stops one time; the rest of it is absolutely unused. Email questions or make me a reasonable offer. We can work out delivery if you're local to the Kitsap peninsula or negotiate the shipping. UPS or USPS shipping would likely be in the $5.00 - 6.00 dollar range.

Building 20 km of roads a day not sustainable: NHAI chief
The UPA government's ambitious target to build 20 km of road a day will not fructify as the target is unsustainable, the head of National Highways Authority of India, the country's apex road building agency said Thursday.delhi Updated: Jan 17, 2013 20:51 IST
The UPA government's ambitious target to build 20 km of road a day will not fructify as the target is unsustainable, the head of National Highways Authority of India, the country's apex road building agency said Thursday.
"Building 20 km (of roads) a day target is not sustainable. There is no point in rushing up with projects where we do not have environment clearance; we do not have land acquisitions... We must deal with these projects in a way the private equity gets interested," NHAI chairman RP Singh said on the sidelines of a FICCI conference on highways.
Singh said the target is not sustainable on account of several reasons like delay in environment clearance and issues of land acquisition.
The NHAI chief's remarks come at a time when award of highway project during 2012-13 has hit rock bottom. The agency has so far managed to award a little over 800 km stretch as against the original target of 9,500 km. Poor response has now forced the government to scale down the target to 6,600 km. Developers have cited a host of reasons like lack of funds and unwillingness of banks to lend for not coming forward to bid for projects.
Kamal Nath, the then road minister, had in 2009 announced its ambitious target of building 35,000 km of highways in five years, which translates into constructing 20 km of roads in a day. So far, the target was never achieved and even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had expressed concern over it.
Raising equity was a major concern for awarding road projects of 10,000 kms a year, including 7,000 km of national highways. It requires Rs. 90,000 crore investment, of which one-third (Rs. 30,000 crore) should be private equity. "Can we really raise Rs. 30,000 crore equity," he wondered while stressing the need for making road projects lucrative.
Achieving up to 60% of the target would be meaningful if the government manages to maintain current rate, he said.

In order to gain muscles, your body definitely needs to lose all the excess fat. This happens mainly when you exert the body in some physical exercise. In recent years, health experts have come up with several solutions that are supposed to help you gain a lean masculine body. One of the options to go for is the peptides route.
The use of peptides involves stimulating the body to release the all important Growth Hormone (GH). This is normally done using the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) alongside Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP). A peptide which is a short protein made up at most 50 amino acids conjoined by covalent bonds is ideal for bodybuilding among other athletic activities.
Losing fat
The growth hormone has a molecule which is responsible for the burning up of body fat. This is why young people whose bodies are still releasing adequate GH tend to be leaner than their older counterparts. The HGH 176-191 if a fragment of the GH molecule and plays the critical role of burning up body fat. Obviously, this is one of the must-have peptides for every bodybuilder. This peptide is particularly effective at reducing fat around the abdomen.
The other peptide that works to help in the reduction of body fat is the CJC-1295 DAC peptide. It is responsible for helping increase the release of the growth hormone in the body. Given that normally as you grow older the growth hormone release goes down, your body gains immensely when you use this peptide which ensures that there is adequate HGH 176-191.
However, for the people whose main goal is to lose body fat, the use of GHRP-6, Ipamorelin, and GHRP-2 is not advisable. GHRP stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides. They enhance hunger and cortisol which will make your efforts to lose weight be counterproductive.
Gaining lean muscles
The IGF-1 peptide is an insulin-like factor which is primarily recognized as one of the most effective muscle building peptides. After using this factor, the growth hormone (GH) exhibits high characteristics of muscle building. There are several versions of IGF-1 and it is upon you to decide which one is the most ideal with your exercising schedules. When you use the IGF-1 LR3, you are likely to reach your bodybuilding goals faster and without a lot of stress. This fragment of the IGF-1 factor has a longer half-life hence making it stay in the body for many hours. As a result, you will have more stamina to exercise.
Insulin is vital if the GH is to perform its anabolic roles in an effective manner. In the fat loss process, insulin should be absent. This clearly creates a problem. However, it is easily solved when you use the GHRP and GHRH appropriately. The use of the peptides and the hormones normally require time so as to stimulate the body for the release of the GH. This leads to a need to have a spike of insulin after you have had the injection and not before you have it.

Release Information

Artist/Covers: Dalibor Talajic, Del Mundo

Continuing directly after the events of Issue #1, Dexter, Deborah and other members of the Miami Dade police are checking on the crime scene involving the murder of Arthur Bleek. After discovering Bleek's connection to the New Hope Foundation, Dexter and Deborah head to the location of the company to interrogate Steve Gonzalez.Upon arrival they are greeted by Gonzalez, and his mysterious bodyguard only known as Deveaux. Gonzalez flirts with Deborah to no avail, and when he is questioned about the murder of Bleek, he states he does not know anything about it. Deveaux states the last time they saw Bleek, he was at an evening challenge, which is a group session on the New Hope Foundation. Deveaux states Bleek leaved at 9:30 PM. Deborah asks if they know were did he go, Deveaux states outside. Deborah threatens him and states this is not funny, however Gonzalez states that Bleek literally lived on the street. Gonzalez proceeds to tell Dexter and Deborah about his program involving Mar Dorado and how the members return to Miami with enough funds to start a new life. New life with new hope, that's our motto, says Deveaux. Deborah and Dexter leave to continue wirh the investigation.
While discussing the case, Dexter states Gonzalez is a suspect while Deborah rapidly targets Deveaux as the main suspect, stating Gonzalez does not seem to have a motive for the murder. Deborah ordered Dexter to get back to the HQ to run a background check on Deveaux while she heads back to the crime scene.
Dexter discusses his findings with Deborah, he states Deveaux is a former Tonton Macoute. This just gives Deborah more credibility on her theory.They head to the New Hope Foundation to discuss about this with Gonzalez. Gonzalez states he knows that about Deveaux and that the point of his organization is to forget the troubled past of his members and rehabilitate them by giving them a second chance. While a patient named Billy is been taken care of, Gonzalez, Dexter and Deborah walk by, and presence the patient's trust on Gonzalez and on his organization's purpose. Still, Dexter's Dark Passenger felt something was not right with Gonzalez. Dexter and Deborah leave the building to continue the case. While discussing the case on the highway, Dexter starts to think his Dark Passenger might be wrong this time, when suddenly an unknown motorcycle driver approaches Deborah's vehicle and ignites it with a molotov-like explosive. Deborah and Dexter manage to get off the car before been engulfed on fire. Immediately Deborah points who the unknown biker might be. She states the Tonton Macoute use fire as a tool of fear, therefore the responsible of the attack is Deveaux.

Napoli forward Marek Hamsik has admitted that next weekend's game against Juventus is even more important after their 0-0 draw with Udinese.
The Partenopei dropped two points this evening against the Zebrette, and the Slovakian has conceded that the match on Friday with the Bianconeri is 'crucial' to their Scudetto ambitions.
"Udinese is always a difficult place," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We certainly put maximum effort into the game and only just missed getting a goal.
"The game with Juve will be very important. It is crucial for us to get a result."

What goes around comes around. Back when the wonderful laserdisc was just beginning to find its stride, and the serious movie buff could actually find most of the titles he or she was longing to see, the DVD came along and all but wiped out this entire format, this entire subculture. Now, at the dawn of 2008, it looks as if the war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD may be coming to a close. Will one or the other format catch on? Will the regular DVD become extinct? No one can say. But when it comes to movies I'd like to see, none of this matters. 2007 brought us some amazing DVDs and DVD box sets, and the following is my wish list for titles I'd like to see produced in 2008.
(Note: I deliberately left off titles that are already available on import DVDs, such as Satantango, Celine and Julie Go Boating, Man of the West, Johnny Guitar, Lost Highway, Napoleon, The Dead, the Jean Vigo collection, and many more.)
1. Othello: 3-Disc Special Edition
In 1992, Orson Welles' daughter Beatrice authorized a "restored" version of the film that played in theaters. But purists claimed that her film deviated from what her father originally intended, and so the Criterion Collection released a laserdisc edition of Welles' original cut, the one that played at Cannes in 1952. Beatrice apparently blocked this earlier version, and so now only the 1992 cut is on DVD (and out of print besides). My fantasy DVD would be a three-disc box set (from Criterion, of course), collecting both the 1952 and 1992 cuts, as well as Orson's impossible-to-find documentary Filming Othello (1978), which is the last of his completed films I have yet to see. (There are clips of it on the Criterion Othello laserdisc.) On a side note, of Welles' thirteen completed films, seven are available on U.S. DVDs and four others are available overseas. That leaves only Othello and Filming Othello. Let's get on it!

Stony Brook-based Applied DNA Sciences is invading Sweden.
The Scandinavian country has announced it will begin implementing Applied DNA's smartDNA technology in its countrywide police force in June following a successful pilot program by the Stockholm County Police.
The smartDNA system involves spraying criminals with an almost invisible mist containing unique plant DNA. That DNA can then be used to trace the criminal to the scene of the crime.
"A lot of times the robber is wearing a helmet or other clothing that they discard," said Anders Buren, detective superintendent of the Stockholm County Police. "When we find that clothing we can link it to the robbery and extract any human DNA left on it."
Buren said the Stockholm police currently have two outstanding cases where smartDNA was used and the robbers have not been found, although in one of the cases, a burka worn by the perpetrator has been recovered.
The deal with the Swedes isn't the largest for Applied DNA Sciences – the company is responsible for safeguarding about 26 percent of cash in transit in the United Kingdom – but it does represent a sizeable amount. A spokesman for the Stony Brook company could not specify how much the deal was actually worth.
Stockholm County has been using smartDNA for the past year. In that time, over 40 locations have installed smartDNA spray systems. Those institutions using the system advertise it, and crime has dropped off significantly.
"The largest gold retail chain in Scandinavia uses [smartDNA]," said Leif Svensson, CEO of Safe Solution AB, who worked with Applied DNA to develop the smartDNA product. "Before the system was implemented, there were 17 attacks at these stores. Since then, there have been two. It's just as much about crime prevention as linking criminals to crime scenes."
Svensson said smartDNA has so much love in Sweden that some insurance providers are offering reduction in insurance premiums for those robbery-prone businesses that implement the system.
Buren said all 21 counties in Sweden will begin training their police forces on the use of smartDNA starting in June, and several other countries may follow suit. Buren has fielded questions about the technology from representatives from Denmark, Norway, Finland and even Singapore.
Locally, several banks and pharmacies on Long Island have also installed the smartDNA system.

Shine's Joanna Douglas is at it again.
This isn't the first time Ms. Douglas has written an article indicating that she really wants to see racism where, in fact, there is none. (I'm thinking of the ridiculous piece she wrote in which she mislabeled Vogue's spread of a white model in varying shades of dark and light body makeup as "blackface" and said that "it could ... be considered racist". Yes, it could, if the person considering it had some sort of agenda, or weren't thinking too clearly.)
So Ms. Douglas, please stop. It's not always about racism. You can't judge everything through that lens.
Ms. Douglas said it best herself: "Vanity Fair may have been looking for the most promising batch of talent for their issue, but they should have been looking for a diverse group of women as well." The point is, she's missing the point. It's not a spread about a diverse group of women; it's a spread of the most promising batch of talent. If Vanity Fair doesn't think that there are any non-white actresses who deserve to be included in that group (and as some posters have pointed out, maybe there aren't any of the same caliber as those pictured on the cover), then it shouldn't change the criteria it is using just for the sake of including some.
People know when they're being included because of their talents and they know when they're being included because of their race. The latter isn't a positive thing. Expecting less of people because they're not white -- what George W. Bush, in a rare fit of eloquence (ok, his speechwriter wrote it), referred to as "the soft bigotry of low expectations" -- achieves inclusiveness in the short run, at the cost of high standards and to the detriment of those being patronized.
And once again, Ms. Douglas: please stop the race-baiting. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sometimes dark body makeup is just dark body makeup, and sometimes a bunch of upcoming stars who happen to be white is just a bunch of upcoming stars who happen to be white.

OK, I'd like to discuss one thing. I've taken out "The Alcoholic" from Al Swearengen's sheet a couple of times only to see it being added again. In my opinion Al doesn't really fit the trope. Sure, Al drinks, so does pretty much everybody in Deadwood for that matter, but he is never seen visibly intoxicated, nor is his drunkenness ever commented on or treated as a plot point, unlike with Calamity Jane or Steve the Drunk. Thus it should be left out here.

16 people arrested in federal drug case
Indictment details ring officials allege brought narcotics to Schenectady
Published 12:00 am, Wednesday, October 6, 2010
ALBANY -- A seven-month investigation that resulted in the arrests of 16 people has broken up a major narcotics operation that authorities allege brought cocaine and crack cocaine from downstate for distribution onto the streets of Schenectady.
The 29-count superseding indictment by a federal jury, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York in Albany, charges 14 Schenectady residents with conspiring to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine from August 2009 to March 2010, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office, which led the probe. The other defendants are from Fulton County and northern New Jersey.
Authorities said that during the investigation, Jamie Lee Toomer, 26, and Derrick Henderson, 44, both of Schenectady, had $42,900 in a vehicle on the state Thruway. Authorities allege the pair planned to use the cash to buy crack and powder cocaine.
In March, Toomer and Riccia Goody, 22, also of Schenectady, were in apartment 305 at 103 Kings Road in the city with about 750 grams of crack and 220 grams of cocaine, according to authorities.
Authorities said Jamar Green, 36, of Fort Lee, N.J., the ring's alleged downstate supplier, obtained drugs in New York City. Toomer and Henderson brought the drugs to Schenectady to be sold.
Additionally, Henderson took money from Schenectady downstate to pay for the drugs, authorities said.
Goody allegedly assisted Toomer in storing and distributing the narcotics while others peddled the drugs, according to authorities. The defendants also face charges related to conducting illegal business during telephone conversations. A half-dozen people are charged with distribution and/or possession with intent to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine, according to authorities.
Also arrested were Schenectady residents Joseph Toomer, 36; Victor Toomer, 25; Jeffrey McGough, Sr., 47; Jeffrey McGough, Jr., 28; Mario Williams, 31; Moises Olds, 19; Trinelle Frye, 27; Dennis Ryan, 39; Koshon Taylor, 23; Carlos Rodriguez, 53, and Alexis Bass, 25. Matthew Cuckoo, 26, of Gloversville, Fulton County, was arrested as well.
The Toomers are related, as are the McGoughes, according to the statement.
The maximum penalty for a conviction of conspiracy to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine or 50 grams of crack is life in prison and the maximum fine is $4 million. Eight of the defendants have prior drug felonies.
The task force included the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the State Police, the Schenectady Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Schenectady County district attorney's office, and the U.S. attorney's office.

In the May 7 letter addressed to Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo, Rio's state environment secretary, Carlos Francisco Portinho, asks for more funding for pollution control efforts and admits that at current investment rates, it will take more than a decade to significantly reduce the levels of pollution in Guanabara Bay, where the Olympic sailing events and rowing are to be held.
Brazilian authorities had pledged to cut by 80 percent the flow of pollution into the Bay by the 2016 Games through the expansion of the sewage network and the construction of River Treatment Units.
However In the letter, the Rio state environment secretary requested the Sports Ministry give the Rio State government $70 million to help build two new RTUs. He acknowledged that even if the funds were released and the treatment units built, they, along with two other existing units, 'would represent a reduction of over 50 percent of the pollution flowing into Guanabara Bay' — well below the promised reduction.
He said that given the 'urgency of the matter and its fundamental role in the event, it is of great importance that the funds be released in order to allow construction (on the two RTUs) to begin in the second half of 2014.'
In the letter, Portinho wrote that even if authorities were to tackle the bigger problem of a lack of basic sanitation by expanding the sewage network, it would prove are too little, too late for the Olympics.
'Even if the necessary resources to implement sanitation systems in the waterways mentioned were released . it would not be possible to plan and implement all the projects within a timeframe that would make a significant difference in the water quality in Guanabara Bay by the 2016 Olympics,' the letter stated.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that in April, the Rio de Janerio State government announced that it was cutting its 2016 Olympics budget for bay clean-up by 95 percent, reducing spending from over $1 billion to around $51 million. The projects will fund boats to collect trash and eco-barriers to stem the flow of debris and sludge streaming into the bay.

EU vows to support Egypt in transitional phase
Catherine Ashton met top Egyptian general and vowed to support its economy.
Cairo: An European delegation led by
EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton on Monday met top
Egyptian general running the nation and vowed to support its
economy amid the transitional phase in the country.
The EU delegation, during the meeting with Field
Marshal Mohammad Hussein Tantawi, the Head of the Supreme
Council of Armed Forces, underlined its determination to
support the Egyptian economy.
They also discussed local and regional developments.
An 18-day uprising against President Hosni Mubarak
that began on January 25 forced him to quit on February 11.
Egypt`s Prime Minister Essam Sharaf met Spanish
Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez and discussed promotion of
bilateral relations.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil el-Arabi, who met his
Spanish counterpart Trinidad Jimenez, told mediapersons that
developments in Egypt, the assistance from Spain and the
European Union (EU) were discussed.
Arabi said the visit will have a positive impact on
the future of Egyptian-Spanish relations.
Speaking at a joint press conference in the capital,
Jimenez said Spain was keen to improve relations with Egypt at
both bilateral and EU levels. She said Spain wants equal
strategic relations with Egypt.
Jimenez said her visit to Egypt was aimed at promoting
Spanish and European relations with Egypt, adding that her
talks in Egypt discussed boosting joint investments.
Spain and the EU back current changes in Egypt and in
the rest of the Arab world, Jimenez said.
Europe is keen to have new economic cooperation with
Egypt within the framework of the neighbourhood policy adopted
by the EU, the Spanish foreign minister said.
European partners like the European Investment Bank
and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development can
offer huge aid to Egypt and the Arab countries, Jimenez added.
Spain can meet the needs of the Egyptian government in
many field, especially the economic one, she said.
Spain is also ready to send experts to update
Egyptians on its experiment with transition to democracy and
organizing elections, she said.
She lauded the Arab League`s request to the UNSC to
impose a `no-fly` zone on Libya.
About her meetings with Arab League secretary general
Amr Moussa, former chief of the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) Mohammed Baradei and youths linked to the
`January 25 Revolution`, she said they were all proud of the
current changes in Egypt.
It is normal that any democratic process is marred by
some tensions but Spain is confident that Egypt will overcome
this stage because it has a powerful will to turn to
democratic track, she added.

This article leverages discoveries from the 2+ year old article "Migrating Java CAPS 5/6 Assets to Oracle SOA Suite 11g – HL7 JCD to Spring Component Migration", at http://blogs.czapski.id.au/2010/10/migrating-java-caps-56-assets-to-oracle-soa-suite-11g-hl7-jcd-to-spring-component-migration, and presents a different method of reusing "HL7 Transformer JCD" code in a SOA or OSB solution. This method uses SOA Suite for healthcare integration, slightly modified Java code for a "HL7 Transformer JCD" and WebLogic JMS. The Java CAPS part of the discussion is substantially the same, except the JCD code is wrapped in a SOA Suite for healthcare integration Callout, rather than being converted to a Spring Component embedded in a SOA Campsite. The "HL7 Adapter" part of the article is different in that SOA Suite for healthcare integration is used instead of the SOA Suite B2B HL7 functionality.
This article is of potential interest to these Sun/SeeBeyond customers who have an investment in moderate and large Java Collaboration Definition-based transformation and mapping rules, and who are looking for ways to reuse as much as possible of the Java code involved, when migrating to the Oracle SOA Suite or the Oracle Service Bus. The example developed in this article comes from the healthcare domain and uses the HL7 OTDs (Object Type Definitions). This is a deliberate choice because all but the most trivial HL7 transformations will involve hundreds of lines of Java code, therefore are a good candidates for migration. The adapter part of the HL7 solution is provided by the SOA Suite for healthcare integration. This makes the method domain-specific.
Discussion in this article addresses a subset of technologies available in the Java CAPS and in the SOA Suite for healthcare integration. Specifically, the Java Collaboration Definitions supported in Java CAPS 5.x and in Java CAPS 6/Repository, and the SOA Suite for healthcare integration (part of the SOA Suite 11g R1 PS5).
There is no discussion pertaining to JBI-based technologies or Java CAPS BPEL-based technologies. There is no discussion about other ways in which Java logic can be deployed as part of an Oracle SOA Suite solution.
The HL7 eWay and JCD based Java CAPS solution will be ported to the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration and Java-based environment. HL7 Adapters will be replaced with the HL7 endpoints provided by the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration infrastructure. What minimal routing is used will be provided by the Mediator component via JMS Queues. Transformation logic will be ported to the Java POJO (Plain Old Java Object) and will be embedded in the endpoint as a document callout.
This article walks through the process of "extracting" JCD source and related archives from Java CAPS, developing a stand-alone Java application which uses the JCD source, encapsulating JCD source in a SOA Suite for healthcare integration callout and finally reproducing Java CAPS HL7 solution functionality in an equivalent SOA Suite for healthcare integration solution.

A long time ago (about a year now), I wrote an article about my humongous crush on Niykee Heaton. Miraculously, she read the article and reached out to me and we started chatting and hit it off. I'd love to say that we're dating now but, alas, I'm still working on it.
The reason I bring this up, is because my good friend Rob saw what happened and immediately sent me a frantic text; "If you ever write about Hilary Duff, you need to mention my undying love for her!! She needs to see it!!!"
So, here we are. Hilary, I'd love for you to meet my friend Rob. He's a great guy and he's had a crush on you for an absurd amount of time. You're single and looking fantastic, so I don't see why not. I think I see some sparks flying already!
Oh, those might just be some fourth of July fireworks…

In 2183, human scientists uncovered a Prothean technological artifact on the planet of Eden Prime. While repelling an attack by Saren Arterius' geth allies, Commander Shepard's squad came into the artifact's proximity and set it off. The object, described as a beacon, sent the Commander jumbled sounds and images intended to warn of the imminent Reaper invasion. The beacon overloaded during the process and violently exploded.
While the vision it provided was dismissed by the Citadel Council as a highly subjective experience, since that time, the Council's Committee on Paleotechnology have analyzed the fragments of the beacon in an effort to understand how it communicated. What they found was not quite the "telepathic technology" that the Alliance marines described in their reports.
The beacon was equipped with a mass effect field generator to hold its subject immobile, a necessary step to minimize collateral damage during the rest of the process. The beacon then nearly instantaneously scanned the structure of its target's optic and auditory nerves as well as many parts of the brain responsible for memory. Once its expert system determined the proportions of these key features, the beacon stimulated them with pinpoint electromagnetic and other irradiative energy, using powerful programs to recreate any images or sound the beacon required. In principle, this was similar to the popular entertainment device known as a "simstim," but vastly more comprehensive--simstims direct the senses, not memory.
The Normandy's medical officer noted that the beacon delivered more information over the space of seconds than a simstim could do in hours, and managed to do so to a species whose physiology was completely unknown to its designers. To a paleotech, the fact that Commander Shepard needed assistance to decipher the message is a minor footnote compared to the Protheans' accomplishment-getting any of the message to Shepard at all.

In Response To: Re: A life in Foster Care~ How to Research? ()
Thank you Regina for your thoughtful response. I appreciate your feedback. I assumed so, but I thought I'd check. I'll just hope that some day soon his birth mom is able to get the support she needs and have visits with him when she's ready. Then he can be able to ask her directly.
much gratitude,

The project has made huge leaps towards these goals through the optimisation of hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines. The team made spectacular improvements to energy efficiency and engine power, and developed the components needed to make hydrogen-powered vehicles a reality. Furthermore, a hydrogenadapted calculation tool for series development has been made commercially available.
This was the first time that a research project was able to concentrate exclusively on the hydrogen combustion engine and thus the specific properties of hydrogen. Previous engine designs were intended for both petrol and hydrogen due to a lack of hydrogen-equipped filling stations. But facilities are now being put in place in Scandinavia, Germany, Japan and North America for hydrogen-only vehicles.READ MORE
