I'd like to second this request - we require this to support an upcoming specification that mandates the support of PATCH requests.
Is there a workaround until this is added?
What about org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate and org.springframework.http.HttpMethod ?
Do these files fit in that scope or should we open another issue?
I updated the title to be more descriptive (was: "Add RequestMethod.PATCH"). I think this ticket is fine. We'll add sub-tasks if necessary.
I've created HTTPCLIENT-1191 in the issue tracker of Apache HttpClient. You can vote and put a watch on it.
This is now resolved. In terms of client support, Apache HttpComponents HttpClient 4.2 or higher is required. The JDK HttpURLConnection does not support this method.

Full Metal Alchemist Characters
The "Fullmetal Alchemist" characters take viewers on a journey to a fictional 20th Century world created by Hiromu Arakawa. In the "Fullmetal Alchemist" paradigm, alchemy is the most sophisticated form of science. During the story the namesake "Fullmetal Alchemist" character, Edward, seeks the infamous Philosopher's Stone, which is said to grant power to the alchemist who possesses it.
Edward Elric. Edward is given the codename Fullmetal Alchemist due to his artificial metal limbs, which resulted from an alchemy accident. The elder of the two Elri brothers, Edward is a gifted alchemist and the youngest State Alchemist in history.
Alphonse Elric. Alphonse's "Fullmetal Alchemy" character has a tragic past, the result of which is that his soul gets transferred in a suit of armor when an accident takes place during a forbidden alchemy ritual attempt to bring the boys' mother back from the dead. Al helps Edward search for the Philosopher's Stone.
Winry Rockbell. Winry is the Elric brothers' oldest friend. She is a talented mechanic who helped attach Edward's artificial limbs after the brothers' fateful accident.
Pinako Rockbell. Pinako is Winry's grandmother and auto-mail (artificial metal limbs) expert. She watches over Edward and Alphonse after the loss of their parents.
Scar. Scar is another talented alchemist with a beef against State Alchemists. This is due to historic violence toward his people by the State to force them to embrace alchemy and abandon their traditional ways. Scar has vowed to kill State Alchemists and believes his cause is righteous.
The Homunculi. Homunculi are mysterious beings that represent lust, greed, envy, gluttony, wrath, pride and sloth. Some of the homunculi take the form of other "Fullmetal Alchemist" characters, or are represented by existing characters at times.
Roy Mustang. Roy Mustang has complex ties to many of the "Fullmetal Alchemist" characters. As a soldier, he was forced to carry out violence against Scar's people, Ishibalans, and executed Winry's parents for their involvement in the conflict. He knew Edward and Alphonse's father and believes Edward's power is his ticket to power.
Riza Hawkeye. Riza Hawkeye is Roy Mustang's aide and advisor. She specializes in firearms, particularly pistols.
Maes Hughes. Hughes is a Leiutenant Colonel and close friend to Roy Mustang. Maes is a family man who always keeps his wife and daughter in mind.
Alex Louis Armstrong. This "Fullmetal Alchemist" character is large and muscular and is another State Alchemist. Despite his imposing appearance, he dislikes violence and often has emotional outbursts and breakdowns from either joy or sadness.

Back in 2004, this is what President Bush said about states passing laws that recognize same-sex couples through domestic partnerships or civil unions:
"I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so," Bush said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC. Bush acknowledged that his position put him at odds with the Republican platform, which opposes civil unions.
"I view the definition of marriage different from legal arrangements that enable people to have rights," said Bush, who has pressed for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. "States ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others."
Fast forward to the present day:
President Bush threatened Tuesday to veto the D.C. budget bill unless it barred the District from using federal funds to register domestic partnerships.
In a memo to Congress, Bush said he opposed House efforts to strike that longstanding stipulation.
"Under federal law, legal marriage is the union between a man and a woman," the memo says. "Federal tax dollars are not used to extend employment benefits to domestic partners of federal employees and D.C. should not enjoy an exception to this rule."
Of course, since the DC government funds its domestic partner registry from city tax revenue, this amendment is beside the point. So why would the president threaten such a veto on a DC appropriations bill?
Simple: to stir up some support from those who can't stand the idea of gay couples being able to do things like visit each other in the hospital when one partner is sick, or leave each other property without the will being challenged. These are the people for whom this issue isn't about the "sanctity of marriage," no matter how often they repeat that phrase; it's about the sanctity of having someone to mistreat.
Is Bush one of them? No one knows what he really thinks, as his stated position seems to shift with the political wind. All that's clear is that when public opinion's against him, the president can be trusted to turn to good old-fashioned bigotry to drum up some support.

* Teachers' to acquire Goals Soccer for about $115 million
* Deal comes about 3 months after Teachers' initial offer
* Goals' board to advise shareholders to back Teachers' bid
By Euan Rocha
TORONTO, July 20 (Reuters) - Goals Soccer Centres Plc
, which runs 5-a-side football centres across the United
Kingdom, agreed to accept a 73.1 million pound ($115 million)
buyout offer from one of Canada's largest pension funds on
The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan -- better known simply as
Teachers' -- said on Friday that Goals' board of directors had
agreed to unanimously recommend its all cash offer to the
company's shareholders.
Teachers' will pay 144 pence per share for Goals, according
to a statement from the British company. The offer represents a
premium of 6.7 percent to Goals' Thursday closing price.
The agreement comes slightly more than three months after
Goals said Teachers' had approached it with a preliminary bid.
Earlier this month, Goals also confirmed that private equity
firm Patron Capital had expressed an interest in acquiring the
At the time, Goals said it remained in talks with Teachers'.
The pension fund was given until July 23 to come in with a firm
bid, after completing its due diligence process.
The pension fund, which is acquiring the company through its
private equity arm Teachers' Private Capital (TPC), said the
deal requires, among other things, the backing of shareholders,
holding at least 75 percent of the company's shares.
Goals owns and operates 43 outdoor five-a-side football
centres in the United Kingdom and one in the United States. Each
centre houses several pitches that are made of synthetic grass
and are typically floodlit. The company has about 800 employees
and reported revenue of about $47.8 million last year.
"We believe that this will be a win-win for investors,
employees and the thousands of players who enjoy using Goals'
facilities," said TPC's European head Jo Taylor in a statement.
With roughly C$117 billion ($114 billion) in net assets,
Teachers' is the largest single-profession pension plan in
It invests and administers the pensions of about 300,000
active and retired teachers in Ontario, Canada's most populous
TPC manages a global portfolio valued at about C$12 billion.
Teachers' private equity investments over the last two decades
have achieved an average annualized return of close to 20
Teachers' and Canadian peers like Canada Pension Plan
Investment Board (CPPIB), and Caisse de depot et placement have
been among the world's most active dealmakers in recent years,
making major bets both in Canada and overseas. The investments
have focused largely around real estate, natural resources and
infrastructure projects.
"We are excited at the growth plans for the future," said
TPC's Taylor. "Our aim is to cement Goals' position as the UK's
premier five-a-side operator and help the business to achieve
its full potential."


text: One fine day in the summer, I visited the cheese festival in Bra, Piedmont. Bra is the birthplace of the slow food movement and so the event was heavily attended. I could hardly get near the cheese for a clear shot! The symbolism of cheese defaults to that of milk and even the Bra festival programme is clear - milk in all its shapes! I thought about associations of course. I was a foreign guest and so I was the Big Cheese. I was treated well, so I didn't get cheesed off. The shape of cheese is all important and manufacturers spend quite some time on deciding what shape their product should be. Unlike milk, its solidity means it cannot be sprinkled and it is seldom white. But it does retain the symbolic essential of milk - immortality. Plenty of dream books offer profit and gain as the meaning of eating cheese as a dream symbol. This derives from the work of Artemidorus, a 2nd century Greek diviner and interpreter of dreams, who was quite specific about using context for dream interpretation. Eating cheese in a dream may have quite different meanings depending on the nature of the dream and its connections with the dreamer. Eating half a kilo of cheese before bedtime is likely to ensure that you have dreams that night!

Cochineal is a natural coloring that provides a characteristic pink, red or purple hue while demonstrating excellent heat and light stability. Hues vary depending on the preparation method of the cochineal extract. Using water or alcohol, manufacturers extract carmine acid. Carminic acid is orange in low pH and violet in high pH. The color shift results from pH affecting the phenolic groups on the carminic acid molecule.

EA Sports—the biggest developer of sports video games—every year puts different athletes on the covers of its basketball, football, hockey, and golf games. And for years, gamers have referred to those cover athletes getting injured as the "Madden Curse," named after the Madden football series. But I think It's time to re-evaluate that label and broaden it to include all of EA Sports's games.
For over twenty years now, cover athletes appearing on EA Sports titles have either had disappointing seasons, or, worse, catastrophic, season-ending injuries. Some of these incidents not only affected their particular teams, but also went on to cause an uproar for the entire sport. Whether it was an elite quarterback near the end of his career, or a world number one golfer, the Curse reaches all sports. Here are some of the most memorable and painful disasters that prove it.
For the NHL 2004 cover, EA turned its attention to Dany Heatley. Heatley was a former Calder Trophy winner as NHL rookie of the year, and he led Canada to gold medals at the the world hockey championship and World Cup of Hockey in 2004. The Atlanta Thrasher was an emerging NHL superstar finishing ninth in overall league scoring.
But his stunning rise to become a superstar came screaming to halt as quickly as it had started when he pleaded guilty to four charges of vehicular homicide later that season. He was also charged with second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for condition, and failure to maintain a lane and speeding. All this lead to the death of teammate and friend Dan Snyder. After the accident, EA went on to release new covers of the game that included hockey star Joe Sakic instead.
'Madden NFL 2009'
Legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre was the cover athlete for Madden NFL 09. He had just announced his retirement from the NFL and was being honored on the cover of the new football sim. While Favre wouldn't go on to have any severe injury the next season there was significant drama surrounding his cover appearance.
Favre decided to rejoin the league and request a trade to the New York Jets about five days before Madden NFL 09 was officially released. The cover of the game, impossible to change at that late hour, went out featuring Favre in his Green Bay uniform, although the trade had occurred. Instead of reissuing the packaging of the game, EA made available a free alternate cover of Favre in the Jets uniform so players would be satisfied. Favre would go on to have a fine season until the end where suffered a shoulder injury that would plague him for the rest of his career.
EA featured the great hockey star Mario Lemieux on the cover for NHL 2002. Lemieux has recently come of out retirement, joining the Pittsburgh Penguins once again. Although he showed some of the greatness he was known for earlier in his career, after his cover appearance he was never quite the same.
When the 2001-02 season came around, Pittsburgh was way over the salary cap and traded away most of their team. Not only were the Penguins a disappointing team, but Lemieux was suffering the restrictions of his age. He only played in a few games that year because of injuries that would affect him for the next few seasons. The Penguins would suffer a few more years of being irrelevant until they landed the number 1 2005 draft pick, Sidney Crosby.
Adrian Peterson has had a career like few of his contemporaries. After tearing his ACL and MCL in 2011, he had an MVP year. While his 2013 season wasn't as impressive it was still solid and EA decided to make him the cover athlete of Madden NFL 25. But personal issues arose that kept him out of football the entire year after his cover appearance.
On September 12, Peterson was indicted on child abuse charges for the way he disciplined his son. He was deactivated for one game, but then reinstalled three days later. That was short lived as Peterson was then suspended from the commissioners' office and he would not play another game in the 2014 season. While he has been cleared to play in the 2015 season, it will be interesting to see if he will stay with the Minnesota Vikings or whether the year ofF from football will affect his game.
University of Alabama running back Shaun Alexander was the cover athlete for NCAA Football 2001. While he went forward to have a fantastic career with the Seattle Seahawks, winning the NFL MVP award in 2005, the University of Alabama football program went to the gutter.
Alabama began their 2000 season ranked as no. 3 in the nation in many polls, but What ended up happening was nothing short of a catastrophe. The Crimson Tide wound up 3-8 the following season and news broke that their coach, Mike DuBose, was having an affair with his secretary. It was years before the Crimson Tide was in championship form once again. That change would come when coach Nick Saban joined the team and led them to glory.
NHL Superstar Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks was selected as the cover athlete for NHL 2010. His career was skyrocketing with a huge new contract and career-high in points. After the cover he scored the overtime winner giving the Chicago Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup Championship in 49 years. But although life was grand on the ice, his life outside the game was a bit of a problem.
In August 2009, Kane and his cousin James were arrested in Buffalo. Kane had been apprehended around 5 am after allegedly punching a cab driver when he claimed to not have proper change for their trip fare. Kane was charged with second-degree robbery, fourth-degree criminal mischief, and theft of services. While it didn't affect his fantastic 2009-10 season, it remains the lone blip on his all-star career.
'Rory McIlroy'S PGA Tour'
This year it was time to rejuvenate EA Sports's annual golf title. Tiger Woods had been on a downwards slope for years following the public discovery of his infidelity, while Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, has recent championship wins to his name, having won the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, and Open Championship in the last five years. So EA Sports decided to change the title of their golf sim to Rory McIlroy's PGA Tour.
Well, now Rory McIlroy has a new golf game named after him, but he can't actually compete. Just two weeks before the Open Championship, McIlroy announced that he had suffered a "total rupture of left ATFL and associated joint capsule damage" while playing soccer. The week his new game launched he couldn't appear in one of the most important tournaments of the year.
With all this evidence, only one question remains: who will fall victim to the EA Sports Cover Curse next?

Tightening of mortgage rules announced Thursday by the federal government could impact Calgary's active residential real estate market which continues to see sales activity pick up.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is changing mortgage rules to make it harder for people with limited means to buy homes or borrow on ones they already have. The changes to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. rules announced by Flaherty will cut the maximum term of insured mortgages to 25 years from the current 30 years and will end insurance for homes which cost more than $1 million. The changes will also limit refinancing loans to 80 per cent of the value of a home, from the current 85 per cent.
The changes could price some people out of the housing market, said Ann-Marie Lurie, senior economist with the Calgary Real Estate Board.
"So you would expect to see some of that sales demand cool," she said. "We've had really strong sales demand this year. So even if it's cooling, it's not going to be a total reversal of what we've seen. It will impact demand as you're pricing some people out of the market.
"Another thing you'll see is what people can afford will also change. We can expect this to have some sort of dampening impact on price growth as well. The single-family market has been fairly tight and prices have actually been increasing a little higher than expectations. This will actually bring it more in line for what we did expect originally for the year."
According to the CREB, so far this year the average MLS sale price for a single-family home in Calgary is $479,713, up 1.77 per cent from the same period last year while sales of 7,986 have increased by 18.95 per cent. So far this month until June 20, single-family sales of 1,075 have increased by 18.0 per cent from last year with the average sale price up 2.57 per cent to $489,416.
Year-to-date there have been 11,021 MLS sales in the city, up 16.35 per cent from last year, and the average sale price has increased by 2.51 per cent to $428,521.
So far this month until June 20, total MLS residential sales in the city are 1,471, up 14.39 per cent from the same period last year, and the average sale price has jumped by 3.91 per cent to $440,385.
The mortgage changes will have a "minimal" impact on the Calgary housing market, said Todd Hirsch, senior economist with ATB Financial.
"But it will be directed at that segment that the Bank of Canada is most worried about and that is probably first-time homebuyers who might be tempted to get in over their heads with too much mortgage debt," said Hirsch. "So I don't expect it to have a big, big negative impact but it will affect those buyers who perhaps have to wait a little bit longer to cobble together some down payment."
In Calgary, the impact of the mortgage rules could be that people wanting to buy a home might look at a lower price point or they will increase their down payment to access a higher price point, said Ben Brunnen, chief economist with the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
"We're fortunate to be in a position of growth and when changes that reduce access to financing come into play you want to be in a place where the growth is happening as opposed to an area of decline," he said.
"In Alberta right now, we're also seeing relatively high confidence for consumers and relatively strong spending. So when we see those things, we need to make sure that consumers don't over-leverage themselves in the event the economy declines globally."
According to the Canadian Bankers Association, the number of Alberta mortgages in arrears by three or more months has fallen to its lowest level since 2009.
In April, the province had 3,418 arrears or 0.65 per cent of all mortgages.
The latest federal moves are part of a string of initiatives undertaken recently by the federal government to slow the accumulation of debt by Canadian households, which reached a record 152 per cent of income in the fourth quarter of last year.
Flaherty said the changes are aimed at promoting stability in the financial system as a whole.
"We are continually monitoring the housing market," he said.
He said his measures are especially aimed at cooling the condo market is places such as Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
Thursday's announcement marks the fourth time Ottawa has tightened mortgage rules since 2008.
Recently, the Bank of Canada estimated that the number of households in arrears could almost triple to 1.3 per cent if the unemployment rate were to rise by three per cent, about the same as occurred in the 2008-09 slump.
In a statement, Wayne Moen, president of the Canadian Real Estate Association, said the government announcement is a "measured response to the government's often stated concern about household debt levels and the housing market."
He said the resale housing market in the country makes a significant contribution to the economy, adding an estimated $20 billion in spinoff spending and over 165,000 jobs in 2012.
Moen said the national housing market remains balanced.
"The impact of measures like those announced (Thursday) must be closely monitored to ensure they have the anticipated impact and don't create a spillover effect and slow the economy," said Moen. "For these reasons, going forward, we would urge the government to consider the impact of further interventions in the market carefully."
Craig Alexander, senior vice-president and chief economist with TD Economics, said the federal government's move is a "prudent decision to address the increasing risks from consumer debt growth."
"The actions support our long standing view that the current 10-15 per cent overvaluation in Canadian real estate will be unwound over the next couple of years. It also suggests that personal debt growth should slow to a low single digit pace over the coming year," he said.

Baylor Hosts Philosophy Homecoming LectureOct. 20, 2009
Follow us on Twitter: @BaylorUMediaCom
Dr. Robert Baird, professor and master teacher of philosophy at Baylor University, will present "Philosophy's Lesson: Reasoned Commitment in the Face of Uncertainty" at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, in Room 105 of Morrison Hall on the Baylor campus.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is the Baylor Department of Philosophy's fourth annual Homecoming lecture. A reception will follow Baird's lecture.
Baird will speak about evaluating differing views on controversial issues. He will examine how the study of philosophy involves weighing evidence, committing to one side of an argument and identifying new evidence that defends the alternative view.
"I hope students understand through this lecture the role that philosophy can play in our lives," Baird said. "Philosophy is the most practical of all disciplines because it deals with values, and there is nothing more important in our lives than values."
Baird earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Baylor and his doctorate from Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
Baird joined the Baylor faculty in 1968 and became chair of the Philosophy Department in 1987. He serves as the University Ombudperson for Faculty.
In 1994, Baird was named a Piper Professor in Texas for scholarly and academic achievement by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation. In 2005, he received the Cornelia Marschall Smith Professor of the Year award, an annual award presented to a Baylor faculty member who makes an outstanding contribution to the learning environment.
Morrison Hall is located on the northwest intersection of South Fifth Street and Speight Avenue.

Here we have our first immediate example of the hypocrisy of Comey and Lynch's actions.
As Written By Allen B. West:
Right now, China is conducting live fire naval exercises in the East China Sea. Before the end of the month, China and Russia will be conducting a joint naval exercise in the South China Sea. And this comes after an international court ruled against China's incursion into that body of water where a large portion of sea commerce transits.
But it's not just about what China is doing in the Pacific Rim; it's what they're doing right here.
As reported by CNN, A long-time FBI employee with top secret security clearance faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to being an agent of the Chinese government.
Kun Shan Chun, also known as Joey Chun, was arrested by the FBI in March after an undercover operation, and appeared in a New York court on Monday.
The 46-year old confessed to providing "sensitive" FBI information to an individual with connections to the Chinese government on a number of occasions, the Justice Department said in a statement.
Originally born in China, Chun was a naturalized U.S. citizen who had been an employee of the FBI for 19 years.
According to the complaint, Chun tried to recruit an undercover agent to provide him with confidential information, which he said could be exchanged for cash if it was sent to his associates in China.
Chun pleaded guilty to one charge of acting in the United States as an agent of China without providing notice to the Attorney General.
According to the Justice Department, in 2011 Chun met with a Chinese official during an overseas trip who asked him about his work with the FBI. Chun discussed sensitive information with the official, including telling him the identity of an FBI special agent.
After that meeting, the official repeatedly asked Chun for information about the FBI's internal workings, resulting in Chun transmitting several pieces of sensitive information.
In 2013, Chun sent the official a copy of the FBI organizational chart, with personnel names removed, and in 2015, he sent the same official in China photos of documents detailing surveillance technologies used by the FBI."
My first thought is that FBI Director James Comey is not having a good past month. My second thought is that we must be much more aware of Chinese infiltration into our security apparatus. We're well aware of the Chinese support of cyber warfare activities within our borders. And to this point, we have not taken the Chinese to task over their acts of espionage, actually, "soft" war. It's long past the time for reckoning that China is a threat, not the Chinese people per se, but certainly the government.
"Kun Shan Chun violated our nation's trust by exploiting his official U.S. Government position to provide restricted and sensitive FBI information to the Chinese government," Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin said. Local media reported a statement by Chun's defense attorney Jonathan Marvinny, in which he said his client regretted his actions. "The truth is that Mr Chun loves the United States and never intended to cause it any harm," he said."
However, let's ask a greater question: is having an insecure private server that conducted the United States' classified business any different from what Chun did? Does FBI Director Comey believe Chun was "careless" in …….

Collins John - Chasing the Lady!
With the Marlon King transfer still nestling in the realms of uncertainty, it would seem that Collins John, who was supposedly part of the King deal, will still be going to Watford regardless.
In fact Adrian Boothroyd, the Watford manager, has revealed how, in the past, he`d already tried to sign the striker but was snubbed. It appears that Boothroyd is hoping to end a year long wait by finally bringing Collins John to Vicarage Road regardless of the king situation.
This is what he had to say,
'I tried to get him a year ago last January and he turned us down."
'When somebody does that, it's like a woman saying no to you. It just makes you even more determined to get them."
'It's been agreed whatever happens with Marlon. He's a massive talent with great physique; he's exceptionally quick with a great goal scoring record."
'Hopefully he'll come here and the environment that we've got will help him thrive.'
I for one wish he was to get a chance at Fulham under Hodgson as I believe he has the ability to be our next big star!

Finnish MPs for Sanctions in Magnitsky Case
Pia Kauma, submitted a written question to the government on the question of sanctions against Russian officials involved in the murder of the Russian lawyer, Sergey Magnitsky. So far, the United States and the Netherlands have imposed visa bans on the officials. Moreover, the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have urged member states to freeze the assets of the officials involved and impose international visa bans. In his response, the Finnish Foreign Minister, Erkki Tuomioja, stated that the case of Sergey Magnitsky had come to symbolise the problems with human rights and the rule of law in Russia, including the conditions in pretrial detention, impunity of those responsible for crimes, length of trials, and corruption. Mr Tuomioja called for a swift and thorough investigation into the case and for those responsible for Mr Magnitsky's death to be punished. In the question of possible sanctions against the officials involved in Mr Magnitsky's death, Mr Tuomioja said decisions should be made jointly in the EU's Foreign Affairs Council. Meanwhile, Helsingin Sanomat reported that the Finnish fur trader, Saga Furs, may have received funds that were embezzled by the Russian officials involved in Mr Magnitsky's death. Finnish police was now considering whether to launch an investigation into possible money laundering. A Moldovan company transferred USD 199,500 to Saga Furs in February 2008. Hermitage's founder, William Browder, noted that the Moldovan company was a shell, and that the reason indicated for the money transfer was "purchase of carpet fibers." Saga Furs strongly refuted claims that the company would have been involved in money laundering. Sergey Magnitsky was a lawyer at the Moscow law firm, Firestone Duncan. He helped Hermitage Capital Management, once Russia's largest foreign portfolio investor, reveal the biggest tax fraud in the country's history. After testifying about the involvement of Russian police officials in the theft of Russian state funds, he was illegally arrested in November 2008 and imprisoned by those very same officials in order to silence him. Mr Magnitsky died on 16 November 2009 in a Russian prison awaiting trial. Hermitage's founder, William Browder, has vowed not to rest before those responsible are brought to justice.A group of leading members of the Finnish Parliament, spearheaded by the National Coalition Party's MP,

for instance. However, it is impossible for students (or teachers, except those
with sysadmin permissions) to download programs in the lab. As a math teacher
keenly interested in using technology (my Statistics class meets in the computer
lab daily--some days it's a pain, but we do use computers a lot), I worked
with the technology director to insure that a "manageable" number of
mathematical software packages (those for which we have full or limited site
licenses) are available on school computers. It still takes time, and doesn't
work perfectly (we still can't seem get two major software programs accessible
from our Mac lab).
I have two "workarounds" that I have used over and over:
1. Use fairly common software in uncommon ways. Spreadsheets, for example, are
fairly common--and they have a lot of mathematical power. There are many
great ways to use spreadsheets, either for demonstration to the class or for
student work. NCTM's latest "On-Line" (electronic journal) had a great
article on using sliders, for instance.
2. Make sure your computer folks have fairly current versions of web browsers
and plugins, including Java, Acrobat Reader, Flash, and either QuickTime or
WindowsMedia. Many (even most?) of the MathTools available from this site run
on Java.

2 lbs. skinless Polish Kielbasa or smoked sausage
3 lbs. 'A' size red creamer potatoes
1/3 cup Frank Davis Seafood Boil
4 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 medium white onions, sliced into rings
4 large bell peppers, sliced into strips
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1tsp. Frank Davis Sprinkling Spice
Touch of red pepper flakes
12 French bread pistolettes
First off, take a deep 10-quart stockpot and bring to a boil enough water to cover both the sausages and the creamer potatoes. Then when the water is at a rolling boil, stir in and fully dissolve the third cup of seafood boil. When the stock is completely flavored, drop in the sausages and the potatoes, bring the stock back to a boil, and then turn it down to a gentle simmer.
At this point, with the lid firmly in placed on the pot, let the taters and sausage links poach for approximately 20 minutes or until they each become skin-popping tender. This is also the time when you preheat the oven to 450 degrees.In the meantime, take a heavy, 12-inch, high-sided, anodized or stainless steel skillet, melt down the butter and the olive oil over a medium low heat, and drop in the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. When they've been tossed together well, cover the skillet for about 5 minutes and let the veggies 'sweat.' Then stir the mixture occasionally until both the peppers and the onions become tender and begin to brown. Then sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, sprinkling spice, and a touch of red pepper flakes.
At this point, remove the sausage links and the potatoes from the stockpot and place them-evenly distributed-into a large roasting pan. Then remove the veggies from the skillet and evenly place them over the links and potatoes. When all of the ingredients are uniformly combined, slide the roasting pan into the oven on the top-center rack-uncovered!-and bake the preparation for at least 30 minutes (or until the onions and sausage turn all toasty).
Finally, when it's time to eat, serve the links, the potatoes, the onions, and the bell peppers in the well of a heated soup bowl, nestled next to a couple of hot, crispy, French pistolettes, which have been liberally slathered with melted sweet cream butter.
As the commercial usta say, 'Betcha can't eat just one (helping)!'
The 'A' size creamer potatoes are the smallest little red potatoes most supermarkets carry. Just about all those that are offered to the home shopper are 'B' size, which are about the size of golf balls. 'A' size is roughly the size of ping-pong balls.
Skinless smoked sausage (or skinless Polish Kielbasa) generally is more tender (less chewy) than regular smoked sausage with the casing. For quality purposes alone, I heartily recommend you try to find the skinless variety when making this dish. Locally, Winn-Dixie supermarkets package it as their own WD-Brand and keep it in the cooler cases near the breakfast sausages.
Whatever you do, strive to maintain the integrity of the onions and bell peppers. In other words, do not cook them down to a 'mushy mess.' If you find that you have ultra tender bell peppers, skip the sweating step and go right to pan-browning them. You want to keep them crispy and crunchy at all cost.

Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was recorded urging his players to injure opponents on the eve of January's NFC Divisional Game with the San Francisco 49ers.
In the three-minute, 33-second clip posted on YouTube, Williams apparently asks players to target quarterback Alex Smith, wide receiver Michael Crabtree and running back Frank Gore.
Filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who was working on a documentary about the Saints, told Yahoo! Sports that Williams indicated during the speech that he would pay big money to anyone who could hit quarterback Smith in the chin.
"We don't f– apologize for how are going to play," Williams said, according to the video. "We hope we picked the right person who won't apologize for competing the way we have to compete."
"We've got a lot of guys at the top," Williams said later. "Kill the head and the body will die. Kill the head and the body will die."
"We have to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank Gore's head. We want him running sideways, we want him running sideways," Williams said, apparently referring to Smith.
"Little 32 (wide receiver Kendall Hunter), we want to knock the (crap) out of him," Williams said. "He has no idea what he's in for."
Then, according to Pamphilon, Williams then said "We hit Smith right there," and pointed to his chin. Moments later Williams apparently added: "Remember me, I got the first one" and rubbed his fingers together indicating a cash payment, Pamphilon said.
"Every single one of you before you get off the pile, affect the head," Williams said.
The Saints went on to lose 36-32 to the Niners. Williams has been suspended indefinitely under charges he paid players to for each injury they caused while with the Saints from 2009-2011. He is now with the Rams.
The National Football League also suspended head coach Sean Payton for the season, general manager Mickey Loomis for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six games. All three are appealing their suspensions.
The Saints were also fined $500,000 and docked second-round draft pick in 2012 and 2013.

Serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw was convicted on 18 charges, including multiple first and second degree rape counts, on December 10. When the verdict was read after 45 hours of jury deliberation, Holtzclaw bawled. His tears were supposed to stir empathy since he was learning on his 29th birthday that he'll likely spend the remainder of his life in prison. However, his tears bring relief for his victims as well as those who were unsure if he'd ever be penalized for his egregious, monstrous actions.
Holtzclaw, a former Oklahoma City Police Officer, used the power of his position to assault, and then silence, a Black girl and 12 Black women. From December 2013 to June 2014, Holtzclaw was tasked with serving and protecting a northeastern Oklahoma City community. Instead, he preyed on impoverished Black women with criminal records. In Holtzclaw's mind, these vulnerable women wouldn't report him or be believed because of their alleged past crimes.
Assistant District Attorney Gayland Geiger argued as much during Holtzclaw's trial. Seeing the victims as just "a bunch of drug-addicted lying convicted felons living on the East Side who got warrants, and they don't even keep the same cell phone number, and they don't have jobs, and they walk around in high-crime areas, and they're out on the streets at 2 a.m." was what Holtzclaw used to silence his victims.
One victim, identified as S.H., testified that she didn't come forward because she was afraid. Holtzclaw befriended her on Facebook after assaulting her the first time. "I didn't think that no one would believe me," S.H. said. "I feel like all police will work together and I was scared."
Other victims offered similar testimonies.
A victim, identified as C.R., was assaulted in March 2014. In her testimony, she said she didn't come forward because she "didn't think anything would be done."
"I mean, it was nobody there but just me and him, so to me I just took it as my word against his, so I just blew it off — as best as I could just walked away from it," C.R. said.
A., 17, was Holtzclaw's youngest victim. He assaulted her on her mother's porch. A. didn't contact authorities because she didn't know who would police a member of their own police force.
After Holtzclaw assaulted Janie Loggins, 57, a woman not from the area he patrolled, she brought forth allegations against him. Twelve other victims came forward after Holtzclaw's department began investigating his crimes. He was charged with 36 counts, but was convicted of 18. Now, he's facing 236 years in prison for his vile acts.
Extending empathy to a monster, like Holtzclaw, is unreasonable when there are 13 Black women whose lives are irrevocably changed. Furthermore, Holtzclaw cried because he was caught and convicted, not because he's remorseful. He'd still be raping women if victims hadn't found the courage to come forward.
Daniel Holtzclaw and his legal team have spent 16 months disparaging the characters of his victims. After he was arrested in August 2014, Holtzclaw's sisters began selling "Free the Claw" t-shirts to raise money for his legal fees. His family also issued a statement accusing the victims of offering fabricated stories to further their own personal agendas. Even during the trial, Holtzclaw's attorney, Scott Adams, attempted to vilify the accusers, by highlighting their criminal records and saying their testimony was unreliable. He placed the victims' character on trial.
"The witnesses that you saw in this courtroom don't care about the truth," Adams said. "For them it's about whatever's going on in the moment. Whatever it is to further their agenda."
Writer Danielle Campoamor notes that Holtzclaw's reaction pales in comparison to what his victims experienced during the assaults and in the subsequent trial.
"It was as if justice was forcing him, against his will, to adhere to the truth, and the panic and helplessness he felt in that moment is nothing but a taste of what he put his victims through," Campoamor wrote.
Rejoicing in Holtzclaw's tears isn't a cruel act. He's a rapist who preyed on Black women he thought society had discarded and would never believe. Even with an all-white jury and a vigorous defense team, the criminal justice system finally issued a conviction for a monster. A guilty verdict tells poor, Black women that their bodies matter too.

Best place to exchange currency in Bangkok
Best place to exchange currency in Bangkok
Where's the best place to buy Baht in Bangkok.
Last time I was in Thailand about 4 years ago, the exchange booth at Don Muang Airport was commission free and seemed to have reasonable rate (especially compared to buying baht in NZ anyway!)
What are the exchange booths in the new airport like? Are they a rip-off? Do they charge fees? Would I be better off finding a money changer in town, or perhaps going to a bank?
Any recommendations?

Work & Health
Biographical details
Philip Bohle's research concentrates on occupational health. The research stream on working hours and health has contributed substantially to knowledge of structural relationships between working hours, social and organisational support, work-related control, work-life conflict and health. Related research focussed on the psychometric refinement of diurnal type measures.
Professor Bohle's second stream of research on precarious employment, principally conducted in collaboration with Professor Michael Quinlan, has yielded well-cited literature reviews, empirical studies and theoretical contributions on the mechanisms through which precarious employment affects health and safety. A further stream of research on workforce ageing has examined individual and organisational variables affecting the work attitudes, workforce participation, and health and safety of older workers. Related projects have evaluated and refined measures of ?work ability' and tested the efficacy of work ability interventions for improving the health and retention of older workers.
The final stream concerns the impact of traumatic workplace death on the families of victims and the support provided to them by institutional bodies and other organisations. Since 2001, this research has attracted over $7.8million in grant funding from the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (Canada). Professor Bohle has also been awarded substantial research funding from various institutions and other organisations during this time.
Professor Bohle has worked at The University of Queensland, Griffith University and The University of New South Wales, where he was Head of the School of Industrial Relations and Organisational Behaviour (2000-2003) and Director of the Industrial Relations Research Centre (2000-2001). He has held visiting appointments at The University of Sheffield, The University of Wales Swansea, The University of Connecticut, The University of Oldenburg, Maastricht University and the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

Shortly after Apple unveiled the iPad on January 27th, reports began circulating that the "iPad" trademark was actually registered to Fujitsu, a company out of Tokyo who released a mobile device by the same name in 2002. Fujitsu's iPad, in case you're wondering, ran a mobile OS from Microsoft, came with a 3.5 inch color touch screen, and included support for VoIP calls.
In the wake of Apple's iPad, Fujitsu stated that it properly owned the iPad trademark and that they would consult with their legal team in order determine what steps to take next.
Fujitsu had initially applied for the iPad trademark way back in 2003 though it was subsequently abandoned in early 2009. Fujitsu then attempted to revive the trademark in June of 2009, but not before Apple stepped in and applied for an international trademark for the "iPad" moniker. Following that, Apple filed a series of requests in opposition to Fujitsu's recently revived trademark application.
And just when it appeared that we'd have another legal showdown on our hands comes news via Patently Apple that Apple acquired the iPad trademark from Fujitsu for an undisclosed sum on March 17th.

(UPDATE: A MyBankingDirect spokesperson confirms rate history of its money market account.)
There is no doubt that savings rates are extremely depressed because of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, which aims to use low interest rates to spur economic growth. Despite the low returns, saving is still imperative, but finding a bank that maintains competitives rates is difficult.
The national average for savings rates fell more than 30 percent, from 0.49% APY to 0.34% APY, since the beginning of 2011, according to bank data tracked by MyBankTracker.
Some of the biggest names in online banking, including ING Direct, Ally Bank and American Express Bank, were consistent with their attractive rates, until the the central bank drove rates down. Also, new online banks have jumped into the picture.
Picking the top savings rates is usually the go-to strategy for savers, but some banks have made drastic rate cuts. Savers who are constantly in search of the top savings rates wind up having to switch banks constantly. It becomes a major inconvenience — to the point where it may be wiser and less tedious to find a bank that can keep rates competitive rather than jumping from bank to bank for the best rates.
Currently, most savings accounts struggle to keep interest rates at 1.00% APY. Here are the banks that offer savings or money market accounts above this key level, and how long they've stayed there:
Incredible Bank
Incredible Bank introduced its money market account in May 2011 with a 1.15% APY on balances of $100,000 and under. The rate has fluctuated, but didn't dip below the 1.00% APY until July 2012. It has returned to 1.05% APY, but this rate applies to balances up to $250,000.
Incredible Bank is the Internet division of River Valley Bank.
UFB Direct
UFB Direct's money market account launched in June at 1.15% APY and the online bank has already boosted the rate to 1.30% APY. The account is just two-months old and the rate may change at any time but a UFB Direct spokesperson said that the bank plans to keep the rate steady for some time.
The online bank also has a savings account which held a 1.30% APY from the time the bank launched in August 2011 to January 2012 (roughly seven months). It's been at 0.80% APY since.
UFB Direct is an online banking unit of BofI Federal Bank, formerly named Bank of Internet USA, one of the oldest online banks in the country.
CIT Bank
CIT Bank offers a savings account that has tiered rates depending on the account balance. On balances of $25,000 and up, depositors earn 1.05% APY (0.90% APY on balances below $25,000). This account launched in late March 2012 but the 1.05% APY was available only for the last two months.
CIT Bank launched in October 2011 and initially offered certificates of deposit before unveiling its savings account.
Barclays Bank
The young online bank from Barclays is currently touting a savings account with a 1.00% APY with no tiered rates or other miscellaneous criteria to earn this rate. The rate has stayed the same since the online bank launched in March 2012.
TIAA Direct
TIAA Direct has been in the spotlight this year for offering a savings account and money market account with a 1.25% APY. The online bank of fund giant TIAA-CREF was quietly introduced in February 2012. Currently, the bank is not accepting any new customers as it just ended its pilot phase.
Existing customers are still earning 1.25% APY but it is unclear when TIAA Direct will start accepting new customers.
MyBankingDirect's money market account currently pays 1.05% APY on balances of $5,000 and more. When the account was first introduced in 2005, it carried a 3.75% APY. According to a MyBankingDirect spokesperson, the rate has not fallen below 1% APY in more that two years.
MyBankingDirect is an online banking division of New York Community Bank.
The rate bait
It's not surprising that some of the top savings rates are found at new online banks, which are known for offering extraordinary rates to attract new customers and deposits. Also, because they lack the costs of maintaining a physical presence, online banks can continue to support outstanding rates.
But, as online banks like American Express Bank and Discover Bank have done, savings rates are likely to drop as the banks establish a footing in the market.
Finding a bank that has a track record of maintaining good rates could lead to fewer worries that your bank will slash rates and reduce your savings potential.

July 3, 2007—The survival of a subspecies may be riding on these monkeys' backs.
The largest known troop of gray-shanked douc langurs (above left)—among the world's most endangered primates, has been discovered in central Vietnam. (See Vietnam map.)
About a thousand of these tree-dwelling, tangerine-tinted animals, first identified in 1997, are thought to exist. Some live in captivity, such as the douc pictured above (right).
Until the recent expedition, led by a team of WWF and Conservation International scientists, only one other population with more than a hundred individuals had been recorded.
Since the team began the survey in 2005, they have counted at least 116 monkeys—and they estimate about 180 make up the newfound population.
But the scientists have surveyed just a small section of Quang Nam Province—meaning it's possible more endangered monkeys lurk in these forests.
"To put it into a human perspective, this discovery is like finding a new country with over one billion people in it," Ben Rawson, a Conservation International wildlife biologist, said in a statement.
"We now have a much greater opportunity to overcome the very serious threats faced by this species and prevent its disappearance from our planet."
—Christine Dell'Amore

To send a message that the BlackBerry is back, RIM ran an ad during Sunday's Super Bowl game in the U.S. suggesting that there's so much the new phones could do, it'd be easier to list the outlandish things that they can't. The Canadian company is also in the process of changing its name to BlackBerry to emphasize that brand.
Some analysts have questioned RIM's decision to release a touch-only version first considering that its most loyal users love the physical keyboard for typing.
Heins said the full touch screen was more complicated and they needed to focus on releasing that first. He has also acknowledged that RIM failed to quickly adapt to the emerging "bring your own device" trend, in which employees bring their personal touch-screen iPhones or Android devices to work instead of relying on BlackBerrys issued by their employers
Heins said the company wants to participate in that trend by releasing a touch version first.
Heins also addressed possible interest other companies might have in RIM should BlackBerry 10 prove successful and whether the Canadian government might block a foreign takeover.
"The recognition for BlackBerry 10 and what we built is pretty high. We got good reviews," he said. "That moves you into the middle of the radar screen so I expect some activity around it but we'll look at it one by one. We'll assess it and we'll make decisions with the board on what make sense."
Heins recently chatted with top Canadian government ministers, including the industry minister, at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"These guys are reasonable, rational people. At the end of the day it's about employment, it's about economic health, it's about Canada playing a major role," Heins said. "If the right logic and rational applies I don't think they will just block it for their own sake. They could have done it with Nortel and the patents."
Several months ago RIM's decline evoked memories of Nortel, a former Canadian tech giant, which declared bankruptcy in 2009 and was picked over for its patents.

Rally Time
EVERYBODY GO FISHING!!" yells junior pitcher Matt Harrell. It's the bottom of
the ninth inning and we are currently down one measly run to Texas A&M-Corpus
Christi. The crowd is yelling and so is our dugout. We have bases loaded with
one out and things are looking good. (photo at right courtesy of The Pan
Hold up. Let's rewind and show you why baseball can be so poetic.
Today is Tuesday, April 30, 2013, and we have a doubleheader with
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, one of our non-conference rivals. I hit the field
around noon to start our pre-game usual.
First game starts at 3 p.m, and unfortunately, due to some bad
luck, we drop the first game. Even though we probably should have taken that
one, there is just one thing on everyone's mind, "We do not want to get swept
today, especially by these guys." So it's safe to say everyone is hungry for a
Next game starts around 6:15 p.m.
Today, because we are in the middle of conference weekends, we
are using all of our pitchers in what you would call a "Johhny whole staff" in
order to get everyone some work. We jump to an early lead of 7-0, but Corpus
starts to claw their way back through the innings and pretty soon we're down
Eighth inning rolls around and our leadoff hitter Derek Hagy
scorches one into the right center gap! As he's flying around second everyone is
screaming and Coach is waving him to third. Derek trucks on and slides in head
first to third base, everyone is jumping around yelling. The fans are going
crazy in the stands screaming for their home team, but wait…the umpire calls him
out on a play that might have been debatable. Everyone's hearts drop, it's
quiet. Coaches start to scream and so do the fans. The play stands and the game
proceeds. UTPA continues to go down in order. Matt Harrell takes care of
business in the top of the ninth and we head into the bottom of the ninth.
Score still stands 8-7. Everyone gets up on the top step, and
soon the cry for "rally caps" can be heard all over the dugout. A backwards cap
is the fashion we will go with this time as opposed to my favorite, the "shark
fin". Alberto Morales steps in to lead off the inning. Right out of the gate,
Morales gets plunked with a pitch to give us a runner at first. One sac bunt,
one pinch-runner and one error later, we have runners at first and third with
one out.
"LET'S GOOOO BROOOONCS, LET'S GO!" can be heard from the stands
and all around the stadium. We are alive with a burning desire to break some
hearts tonight.
Four pitches and one walk later, we now have bases loaded with
one out. "FISHING, EVERYBODY GO FISHING!" yells Harrell.
Allow me to explain. What he is talking about is a rally
superstition. What you do is act like you have a fishing pole in your hands and
cast it into the water (the pitcher's mound to be exact). As the pitcher
delivers the pitch you yank your fishing rod as if you caught something and
depending on which bait you choose, will cause the result of the next pitch.
According to Harrell, "There are all kinds of baits. You have wild pitch baits,
home run baits, and even just base hit baits." I can't quite remember which bait
I'm using, but I'm definitely feeling like I can catch a good-sized marlin at
this point.
As everyone yanks their imaginary fishing rods on each pitch, the
baseball gods don't seem to like our bait and our hitter strikes out. Everyone
sinks for a moment, but we are undeterred. We still have bases loaded and two
outs, and our leadoff hitter Derek Hagy back up at the plate.
Derek works the count to 2-2. The pitcher comes set and
delivers…. Passed ball! Lee Rios scores from third and everyone is going nuts!
The stadium is alive with energy and you can feel it pulsate as if you are at an
AC/DC concert. Something I know a few of my teammates would enjoy.
I'm yelling at the top of my lungs, and soon my voice becomes
raspy, but that doesn't stop me from screaming.
Tie game, 8-8. Derek eventually draws a walk and once again we
have bases loaded and two outs. In steps Riley Goulding, hitless in the game,
but still working on a 14-game hit streak.
It's funny how baseball always gives people a chance for
redemption and sets the table for some of the best stories. It never seems to
Everyone baits up their line and casts away into the lake of
Edinburg Stadium. The count reaches 1-1. The pitch is delivered and Riley jumps
all over it and pulls it down the line, in almost what seemed like slow motion.
I can see the third baseman lay out, full extension, as if he has a bead on the
ball. The ball is headed right towards his glove, but at the last moment he
doesn't have enough wingspan to reel it in. A run scores and the Broncs win!
Needless to say, everyone went wild at this point and the rest is history.
It's moments like this that make me love baseball. These types of
stories will be remembered forever and will be told over and over again.
Baseball has the ability to take any player on the field and turn them into a
hero in a matter of seconds in all kinds of ways that you can't even imagine. I
myself have been presented with such opportunities. It always reminds me why
baseball is such a beautiful game.
Baseball truly is poetic.
So until next time here's a quote I found amusing the other day.
"The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow,
life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed." –Eminem

Fighting the Good Fight: The Story of the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, 1865-1977
The Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church played an important role in the Civil Rights movement-it was the backbone of the Montgomery bus boycott, which served as a model for other grassroots demonstrations and which also propelled Martin Luther King, Jr. into the national spotlight.Roberson chronicles five generations in the life of this congregation. He uses it as a lens through which to explore how the church functioned as a formative social, cultural, and political institution within a racially fractured and continually shifting cultural and civil landscape. Roberson highlights some of the prominent figures associated with the church, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as some of the less prominent figures--for example the many women whose organizational efforts sustained the church.

The day after he expelled two Lakeside Middle students, Columbia County Juvenile Court Judge Doug Flanagan spoke to Evans Middle School pupils about the possible criminal consequences of their actions.
"I put people in jail every week," Flanagan told eighth-graders in the school gym Thursday. "I'm not mean, but I have to do my job."
Though the five Lakeside Middle pupils calling themselves the Charlie Rape Gang thus far have avoided a trip to the Regional Youth Detention Center for their assaults on classmates, including knocking some down and dry-humping them, many others are not so lucky.
"A lot of people think when you go to YDC you don't have to go to school, but you do," Flanagan said. "And the cafeteria food is even worse than in school."
On Wednesday, Flanagan expelled two 13-year-old members of the "rape gang" and sent the remaining three, one 13-year-old and two 12-year-olds, back to the school. However, all the boys still must face a school system hearing officer, who has the authority to expel them.
Each boy is charged with simple battery.
Flanagan explained to the Evans Middle pupils that simple battery constitutes unwanted touching, such as shoving. Had the boys touched their classmates "private parts," then they likely would have faced sexual battery charges.
" 'I'm sorry' and 'I didn't mean to do it' is fine in elementary school," but not in middle and high schools, Flanagan said.
Thursday's speech is one of many Flanagan regularly delivers to middle school pupils in the area. He hopes to give more such talks in coming months to convince pupils to avoid actions that might land them in his courtroom.
"Your only job here is to get good grades and keep out of trouble," he said.
