In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Suicide Bombing
Islam (Submission) condemns suicide as much as it condemns oppression and aggression against others. While the Muslims (Submitters) are commanded to stand for their rights and defend themselves, their properties and their freedom they are told to first resort to peace advocate tolerance and disregard the ignorant. The following verses from the Quran show how the Quran describes suicide, such an important issue in our life that was made the center of the conflict in the Middle East lately.
[2:195] You shall spend in the cause of GOD; do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction. You shall be charitable; GOD loves the charitable.
[4:29] O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly - only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.
[4:30] Anyone who commits these transgressions, maliciously and deliberately, we will condemn him to Hell. This is easy for GOD to do.
Suicide bombing by young uninformed Muslim youths has been carried out almost routinely as a mean of revenge in the Middle East conflict. It is mainly done to avenge their oppression, occupation and loss of freedom they have been experiencing all their life. It is carried out by the youth who lost all the hope to a peaceful settlement as they witnessed their families, loved ones, neighbors, and the innocent bystanders die or tortured at the hand of a merciless occupying force. Despite these intolerable situation no permission can be found in Islam to avenge by suicide bombing or by targeting the innocent civilians. These young desperate Muslim youth have been taught what is NOT in the Quran, and what was never promised by God in the Holy book.
As the verses quoted above show, suicide in any form is condemned by God, no excuse given under any circumstances. The Quran does not promise Heaven (Paradise) to those who commit suicide but rather warn of condemnation to Hell. The promise of paradise or of virgin wives in Heaven for those suicide bombers and those who kill the innocent civilians has no basis in Islam and cannot be found anywhere in the Quran. These fabrications taught to these poor desperate Muslim youths originated probably from the man made books of Hadiths and Sunna that were condemned by God and by the prophet Muhammad himself who told his followers to follow ONLY the Quran.
Suicide is a state of disbelief and loss of faith that is condemned by God throughout the Quran. In the Quran, God commands the believers never to despair or lose hope and instead work for a brighter future.
[12:87] ....................... None despairs of GOD's grace except the disbelieving people.
We do understand the dire situation in which these youth live and we do have the full sympathy to their suffering and oppression , but we cannot agree with breaking God's commandment. Oppression is not a reason to break God's law, on the contrary oppression is a good reason to hold tight to these commandments and to show the world the true and peaceful face of Islam (Submission). If we break God's law we move ourselves away from His mercy and lose His support. We should know that it is by following God's law in the Quran we will gain dignity and sovereignty on our land while achieving peace, tolerance and love to the whole world around us. We have to believe that two wrongs will not make one right. Now after thousands of wrongs carried out by both sides in the conflict, no right emerged and will never emerge. Unless we go back to God's commandments in the scriptures, the Torah, Gospel and/or the Quran, there will be no success and no victory for any group. . All the scriptures call on the people to live in peace and harmony and to advocate tolerance. Victory as far as God is concerned is achieved by the guarantee of freedom and justice for all and not by the domination of one group or nation above another..
Quran urges the followers of Islam (Submission) to resort to peace first and whenever possible but they may fight the oppressors if peaceful means failed. Fighting does not include killing the innocent civilians and the least expecting people as this reflects the meanest kind of character and does not reflect the spirit and/or teachings of Islam (Submission.) These suicide bombers can contribute more and better for the society if they direct their efforts into teaching the world about their cause and work with their neighbors to strengthen their stand against oppression, or be a part of the peaceful solution of the problem they have been facing instead of being a reason for its failure.
The blame can be equally thrown at the oppressors who gave these youths no chance or HOPE to live in dignity and freedom. The world has to speak up against the oppression and occupation of the land and life of these people as well. No where in any divine or human law is a place for a group of people to live at the expense of oppressing others or occupying their homes, land, and life. Peace can only be achieved when mutual respect of human life and properties are achieved.
We should make every effort to educate our young and youth of the Quranic commandments and it is as important for the free world to make every effort to stop this aggression and oppression against a whole nation under occupation that find no exit from this desperate situation except by death or dying.
[8:61] If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[7:199] You shall resort to pardon, advocate tolerance, and disregard the ignorant.
[16:90] GOD advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.
[49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.

The latest releases of Synopsys' industry gold-standard signoff solutions, the PrimeTime® ADV advanced timing analysis and StarRC Ultra™ parasitic extraction tools, are now available. The latest 2013.12 releases deliver faster performance and physically aware innovations that enable digital IC designers to cut their timing closure cycle by more than half.
Efficient utilization of a customer's evolving compute farm environment is a key focus in the development of signoff capabilities. New architectural advancements in both the StarRC and PrimeTime core engines enable multi-core scalability of 12X with 16 cores, a common configuration in compute farms today. With these developments, PrimeTime ADV is able to process up to 60 million paths per hour on 16 cores, over 3X faster than claims from other solutions and with half the compute resources.
In addition, StarRC Ultra's simultaneous multi-corner extraction (SMC) technology allows IC designers to extract parasitics across multiple process and temperature corners in a single run. This eliminates redundant data processing and achieves up to 3X faster runtime while maintaining signoff accuracy. The combination of SMC with greater multi-core scalability allows designers to speed the effort to get to timing analysis while improving compute farm efficiency.
In the 2013.12 release, PrimeTime ADV's widely deployed signoff-driven ECO guidance benefits from a 2X speed up, as well as advanced physically aware links with Synopsys' IC Compiler physical implementation solution to handle complex multi-voltage, low power designs. Physically aware ECO technology delivers high quality of results by deploying routing and density-aware fixing techniques for the most challenging timing violations. In addition, it seamlessly works with PrimeTime's HyperScale technology, the next-generation hierarchical timing analysis, to provide up to a 10X productivity boost in timing closure.
"Designers need to continually push for increased productivity on a tight schedule, and they look for high-quality support from their EDA partners to help achieve these goals," said Robert Hoogenstryd, senior director of marketing for design analysis and signoff at Synopsys. "The latest releases of PrimeTime ADV and StarRC Ultra mark another milestone in Synopsys' signoff leadership, empowering our customers with optimal performance and providing innovative solutions to make design teams more productive."
Customers can download PrimeTime ADV and StarRC Ultra versions 2013.12 from the Synopsys website using their SolvNet® account or contact their Synopsys sales or applications consultant representatives to download the new versions.

The Johns Hopkins Children's Center — originally founded as the Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children — celebrated its centenary earlier this month.
Its endowment originated from the largesse of Harriet Lane, who during the mid-19th century was considered one of Washington's most glamorous women and hostesses.
Harriet Rebecca Lane — she later dropped her middle name — was born in 1830 in Mercersburg, Pa., the daughter of Elliott Tole Lane and Jane Ann Buchanan Lane, and raised in Franklin County, Pa.
Her mother was the sister of James Buchanan, who would become the 15th president of the United States in 1857.
In 1839, her mother died, which was followed two years later by the death of her father. While her three siblings went to other homes, Lane requested that Buchanan, a bachelor, become her guardian.
She spent her early years at Wheatleigh, Buchanan's estate near Lancaster, Pa., and after his election to the Senate, she went to Washington with him and attended the Academy of the Visitation Convent in Georgetown.
In 1854, she traveled to London when Buchanan was minister to the Court of St. James, and after he was elected president, she followed him to the White House.
"Although but 21 years of age when she entered the White House, she filled the duties of the position with the ease, grace and dignity of a matron of greater years, winning at once the admiration and love of all that met her," observed The Sun at her death in 1903.
"Few American ladies have been associated with more notable events than Mrs. Johnston, or met with more distinguished men and women," reported the newspaper, which described her as a "tall, handsome woman with dark wavy hair. She had fair skin with a deep rose-coloring and a veracity of expression that constituted her greatest charm."
She was married in 1866 to Henry Elliott Johnston, a Baltimore banker, and within 18 years, she lost her husband and two sons, James Buchanan Johnston and Henry Elliott Johnston.
So great was her grief that she "lived in retirement for some years" afterward, reported The Sun.
At Old St. Paul's Church at Charles and Saratoga streets, she commemorated the loss of her two sons in a memorial window on the "northern side of the edifice," reported the newspaper. She also founded Church Home, on North Broadway, in memory of her sons, which was a free ward for children.
"Her heart was big, and she showed the greatest anxiety and desire to aid those less fortunate than herself. It was related of her that her charities were far-reaching and lavish," said the newspaper.
A woman of substantial wealth, at her death she left bequests totaling $500,000 to numerous educational and religious organizations, and her art collection went to the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington. She also endowed three $90,000 scholarships at the Johns Hopkins University and gave $100,000 for the establishment of what became the Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children.
Her will stipulated that the home was to be for white children only, "without respect to creed, nationality or residence with a preference for boys and for children living in Maryland," reported The Sun in a 1906 article.
In 1909, contracts were granted to the Noel Construction Co. to build what The Sun at the time called the "Harriet Lane Memorial Home for Crippled Children," a five-story brick structure that had been designed by architects Wyatt & Nolting, and rose on Jefferson Street on the campus of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
At its dedication on Nov. 20, 1912, it was pointed out that Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children was unique in the United States because it was "connected with a large medical school" that is an "acknowledged leader in the country."
The Sun said it was the "last word in construction and it will help wonderfully lighten the burdens of those for whom it was erected."
Until the old building was closed in 1972, it had been the setting for many pioneering advances in care for children. It was demolished two years later.
She was 73 when she died at Narragansett Pier, R.I., and was buried in Green Mount Cemetery, where her grave is marked by a Celtic cross.
"This distinguished woman grew old gracefully and possessed charms of manner, the ease of conversation and glow of brilliancy in the sunset days of her notable life," reported The Sun.
As stipulated in her will, flowers were to be placed on her grave each year on her birthday, May 9.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Last week, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas condemned the abduction of three Israeli youths by terrorist elements and suggested that his forces were aiding the Jewish state in its search for the captives.
That statement sparked fury among a Palestinian public that has since voiced its strong support for kidnapping.
Now, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah (pictured) says that Abbas was misinterpreted, and that his government is, in fact, not helping Israel to find Eyal Yifrah (19), Gilad Shaar (16) and Naftali Frenkel (16).
The Palestinian Authority continues its security coordination with Israel, Hamdallah told the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency, but stressed that this does not constitute cooperation in the abduction case.
"We do not accept that our security services will work for the occupation," insisted Hamdallah. "Our security services are for our sons, and most of them are ex-prisoners [ie. jailed terrorists] who are patriotic… we do not give information regarding our residents to the occupation."
Hamdallah has appealed the international community to condemn Israel's military operation aimed at finding and rescuing the captive Jewish youths.

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
Embracing Technology Makes Our Hobby More Fun - Hoof Beats
Editor's Letter
Here we are midway through 2014, nearly two decades into the 21st century, and we've yet to have George Jetson's flying car materialize. I would hazard a guess that most of us are pretty thankful for that and that we can actually drive our own vehicles (the whole connected car thing kind of ruins the driving experience, if you ask any real car enthusiast). Though we all enjoy a nice drive in our Mustangs, no matter the model year, engine size, or number of pedals at our feet, there has been some great 21st century technology that us automotive types should embrace if you haven't already.
Take the lowly cell phone for instance. At the turn of the century, the typical cell phone was narrow and tall and roughly an inch or more thick. It made phone calls from the road or job site possible without stopping for a phone booth in some unknown neighborhood; but that's all it did. Today we have cell phones that are "smart" and can do so much more, yet are barely 3⁄8-inch thick. I recently upgraded from a Blackberry "smart" phone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 "smarter" phone (as I call it). I can easily call up applications to look for parts stores, find out torque specs, or even register for a car show online—all from my new phone. Dawn and I were recently out of town on the opening weekend for the new Need for Speed movie. Not only was I able to find the nearest theater with show times, but I bought our tickets on my Fandango app, saving us time in line.
There have been numerous advancements in computers throughout the first 14 years of this new century as well. I'm a bit of a PC geek myself, building my own machines versus store bought, so I follow the industry closely. From Intel Pentium IIIs and 100GB hard drives to today, where we have multi-core processors, solid state hard drives with no moving parts and 10 times the storage space. We went from a single "graphics card" to now where we often have multiple GPUs in one PC rendering full 3D graphics. Of course we can't ignore the trend to portable computing and touch interface. Tablets are everywhere now. Dawn and I just picked up a Microsoft Surface as our first tablet and I'm having a blast with it, reading my magazine subscriptions on Zinio, catching up on my favorite TV shows with Netflix, and much more.
Of course all of these devices wouldn't be as helpful to us without a robust Internet to connect to that is so full of data, images, and video that you could almost get lost in it all. Today's Internet is a far cry from the DARPA/ARPANET days (Google it if you're interested!) and today there are tens of thousands of websites devoted to just about any hobby or interest you can imagine, including our much loved Mustangs. Mustang Monthly's old website was one of them. A site where you could find all of the magazine's past content (features, tech, and so on) along with forums for user-to-user interaction, up to date event listings, and more.
We've now launched a new site, www.mustang-360.com, which will encompass Source Interlink Media's four Mustang/Ford brands under one site. This new site is live now and offers daily content from Mustang Monthly, as well as our three sister magazines. One of the advantages of such a site is the immediacy of posting event listings. Starting with this issue all event listings will be published on the new site versus the Coming Events column here in the magazine. So instead of worrying about getting an event listing in to us three months in advance for print publishing (and we get many that we can't publish due to production timelines), we can actually post it immediately on our new site!
The most recent trend for Internet usage with phones and tablets (and of course desktop PCs) is social media. The social media movement is a strong one and there are multiple ways to engage and be engaged with friends, family, and customers. Mustang Monthly's Facebook page is currently over one million "likes," but we also have a presence through all of the major social media outlets including Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram, so be sure to look us up and follow/bookmark/like/pin, etc.
Don't be afraid of the technology! Smart phones, tablets, and social media are all great ways to engage with fellow Mustang fanatics, manufacturers, parts resellers, and of course us! Post photos to Instagram from a car show you're attending, pin those wheels you want for your Mustang on your Pinterest board, tweet your feelings about the 2015 Mustang, or simply post a video "walk around" on YouTube of your Mustang for everyone to watch. Once you get into it, there's a whole other world waiting for you. So check out our new site and our social media outlets and say "hello."

Heliport Permitting
As a general rule, it is unlawful to operate a heliport in the State of California without a State Heliport Permit. State Heliport Permit requirements are promulgated in the California Public Utilities Code (PUC), Section 21001 et seq., otherwise known as the State Aeronautics Act, and the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 21, Sections 3525-3560, Airports and Heliports. Note that unless specified in the law otherwise, Airport = Heliport (PUC 21013 says that aircraft use airports. Helicopters meet the PUC 21012 definition of aircraft so heliports are just airports for helicopters. CCR 3525 specifically states the term "airport" shall apply equally to heliports unless specified for "airports only" or "heliports only".). This page is intended to provide permitting guidelines, exemptions, and the procedures necessary to obtain and maintain a State Heliport Permit for a heliport in California.

The first ad, "dad's voice" airs tonight (25 July) on ITV during Coronation Street and focuses on McDonald's support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provide accommodation near hospitals that allow parents to stay close to their sick kids.
The 60-second spot was created by Leo Burnett London, which has also created print, digital PR and social media executions as part of the campaign, which coincides with fast food giant's 40th anniversary since launching in the UK.
The work was written by Jon Fox, art directed by Rik Brown and directed by Joshua Neale through Smuggler.
Alistair Macrow, McDonald's UK's senior vice president and chief marketing officer said: "'Here's to what matters' marks a significant step change – not in what we do, but in how we talk about what we do.
"Our customers don't always think about why we do things … like giving out children's books in Happy Meals or sourcing our ingredients from British and Irish farmers.
"So we're going to bring together all these individual actions into a joined-up campaign to help people understand the bigger picture – what McDonald's is all about and show the difference that we make to people's lives."
This campaign was first published on Campaignlive.co.uk

Gas tax needed for Highway 14
Gov. Mark Dayton on Monday voiced his opposition to raising the state's gas tax. People won't stand for it, he said.
The people of Minnesota don't like taxes, but they are smart enough to understand that taxes are necessary to get needed projects done. And in this part of the state, we need to get the Highway 14 four-lane expansion project done from Mankato to New Ulm.
Rep. Frank Hornstein, chair of the House Transportation Finance Committee, has been promoting a "Corridors of Commerce" bill that would raise the state's gas tax to help pay for projects like Highway 14. Gov. Dayton's announcement Monday that he opposes a gas tax increase is a serious blow to that bill. It has pushed back work on the House's Omnibus Transportation Bill, which we hope will include more Highway 14 funding.
Like it or not, the gasoline tax is the major source of transportation funding Minnesota has. It's true that it becomes less productive as more fuel efficient cars take to the roads, and people cut back on their driving. But what is the alternative? There has been talk of a mileage tax, levying a tax on Minnesota motorists for the miles they drive each year, but no one has a good plan for figuring how to calculate that.
If you are tired of Highway 14 getting pushed to the back of the line time and again, write, phone or e-mail Gov. Dayton and let him know. His contact information can be found under the Political Directory on this page.

Travelling great distances to improve lives of rural Solomon Islands communities
|Map courtesy of Wikipedia through a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.
Taking development to the outlying provinces of Solomon Islands is not an easy ride. I found this out when going on a site visit to the Rural Development Program (RDP) at the country's far western province of Choiseul.
At the Northwest region of Choiseul province where the island faces open waters that span to the Micronesian archipelago of the Pacific lies a village called Polo. The Polo community has a primary school that was established in 1957 when Solomon Islands was still a British Protectorate, prior to independence in 1978. Since its inception, the Polo school never had a permanent classroom building until two years ago when through the RDP participatory process, the community identified the school as their main need.

John has posed one of the key questions Mitt Romney must answer in formulating his debate strategy: Should he come across with the unapologetic conservatism that will fire up the base, or should he play to the middle?
Most polls show that Romney is doing fine with the base — as well or better than Obama is doing with his. But under the best case scenario for Romney, turnout probably will be roughly even as between Republicans and Democrats. Victory thus depends on winning among independents.
And independents are there for the taking. According to a recent Politico/GW poll, more than 60 percent of independents disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy and spending — two of the very top-tier issues in the campaign.
Accordingly, Romney should focus on closing the deal with independents. Naturally, though, he should not attempt this through statements that will hurt him with the conservative base.
Romney has, I believe, a clear path to wooing independents without alienating his base. Independents want to make sure that Romney has plans and programs to help improve the economy that (1) are realistic, (2) are not the same old Republican ideas "that got us into this mess in the first place," (3) are fair to the middle class, and (4) are fair to seniors.
Thus, Romney can go a long way towards winning over independents if he (1) provides a level of confidence that, contrary to Bill Clinton's assertions, his numbers add up, (2) differentiates his program from the policies of President Bush, (3) shows that his tax plan won't increase taxes on the middle class, and (4) makes the point that he won't change Medicare for those over 55 or preclude younger Americans from opting for Medicare.
That's a lot to do, and not all of it will be easy, especially since Romney will want to be on the attack a good deal of the time.
But the important point is that none of what Romney needs to do to win over independents is inconsistent with keeping the base fired up.

text: Dear Beowulf list, I'm sure that this is a dumb question, but I am a relative newbie... I'm trying to get RMI working on my Scyld system. I'm using the ProActive libraries (http://www-sop.inria.fr/sloop/javall/), which make the whole RMI thing much easier. The problem is, when I try to create an RMI node on a slave in the RMI registry, it only puts a node on the master, not on the slave i.e. ./startNode.sh rmi://.1/1 puts a JVM on the master node (-1), rather than on node 1. Alternatively, I can bpsh to the node in question: bpsh .1 (fullpath)/startNode.sh rmi://.1/1 This initially mounts a node, but then I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. Any ideas? Thanks!

Although Android tablets have yet to take off in the manners that Apple iPads have, it's still nice to see that we as consumers have options in this market. If you refuse to be a part of Apple's pandemonium, perhaps you will enjoy the latest Android tablet from Acer, the Iconia Tab A510.
We previously reviewed the Iconia Tab A500 and found it to pack quite a value, so we hope to be as impressed with Acer's first tablet with a Quad Core Tegra 3 processor, meaning the device should run fast, fast, fast. The upgraded processor can enhance up to "2.6 times the performance" and "three times the graphics performance compared to previous generation processors," according to a statement by Acer. The Iconia Tab A510 will also contain the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich so you can enjoy the newest operation system until Google releases Jelly Bean and Key Lime Pie, the next editions of scrumptiously-named Android.
The screen size, however, remains at its trusty, portable 10.1-inch screen. Its 1280 x 800 resolution features 720p high definition visuals and can play 1080p videos, all while blasting Dolby Digital sound. The tablet will also have a five megapixel main camera and a single-megapixel front facing shooter for video chats or self portraits. Lastly, it will come with 32 GB of internal memory and 1 GB of RAM, and its upgraded battery is capable of running on approximately 12 hours of video playback. You can also increase the memory size through a Micro SD card reader that will support an extra 32 GB of content.
"The new Acer Iconia Tab A510 will exceed the expectations of customers who are ready to embrace using their tablets for more fun, entertainment and a first-rate mobile gaming experience," said Paul Tayar, director of product marketing for connected devices, Acer America.
Tayar also notes that this new model of the Iconia Tab aims to be more productivity-inducing, with great apps like Polaris Office 3.5 and Evernote pre-installed to help you get things done.
"Its comprehensive suite of productivity apps … will enable them to remain productive and connected on-the-go," he said. Other pre-installed applications include Netflix, Kindle, and Google Music. The tablet can support HDMI to VGA conversions so you can connect it to a projector to use for office presentations or home entertainment.
Sounds like a good deal? Customers in the United States and Canada and pre-order the Acer Iconia A510 today at online retailers for $450 and get a selection of silver or black casing. While there are no words yet on when the tablet will ship, the special edition models will celebrate and sponsor the upcoming 2012 Olympic games in London by featuring the five Olympic rings on the back of the tablet.
If you're not in a hurry, no problem. Digital Trends will keep you posted with our hands on review of the unit as soon as it arrives.

I don't normally just link out to other articles, but a couple of things in this morning's Times caught my eye, and I thought they were worth sharing–the first is a tasting panel on bourbons, and the second, a feature on Tiki drinks.
First up, the tasting panel–Times reporters Eric Asimov and Florence Fabricant; Pete Wells, editor of the Dining section; and Ethan R. Kelley, the spirit sommelier at the Brandy Library in TriBeCa review several bourbons. Asimov usually follows up on his blog when he runs these sorts of panels; if/when he does so, I'll update this post. Meanwhile, there's an interactive feature complementing the article.
The Tiki piece features Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and his passion for tropical drinks. Again, the Times offers an interactive companion piece–this time, a brief slide show narrated by the Bum himself. You'll also find some tasty recipes for your imbibing pleasure.
Overall, a fun way to start the morning, I think you'll agree.

HARRISBURG - Authorities have made one arrest and are seeking a second suspect and possibly a third in the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in southeastern South Dakota's Lincoln County.
Twenty-year-old Elizeo Kalimba, of Sioux Falls, made his first court appearance Tuesday on rape and child pornography charges. His bond was set at $25,000 cash. He will enter a plea later.
The sheriff's office is seeking the public's help in finding 19-year-old Obadiah Loyira, who is wanted on the same charges. He is believed to be in the Sioux Falls area. He is not considered a threat to the public.
The rape is alleged to have happened Jan. 15 at Loyira's home in Harrisburg. Authorities allege Loyira took pictures on his cellphone. They are investigating whether a third person was involved.
If you have any information as to Loyira's whereabouts, you are asked to call the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department at 605-764-5651, Crime Stoppers 367-7007 or toll free 1-877-367-7007. You can also contact your local law enforcement agency.

With risks from Europe far from resolved, oil prices sitting at very high levels, and China's hot economy cooling off, everyone remains concerned about the pace of global economic growth.
Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, was on Bloomberg TV this morning discussing the issue.
"What would be the global growth driver?" asked Bloomberg's David Tweed. "Would it be China?"
O'Neill, the economist who coined the BRICs acronym, and who often discusses growth countries, offered a surprising answer.
Here's his full response:
"The forgotten one. I think the U.S. is going to continue to surprise for the next couple of courses. There's a couple of big structural things. The U.S. has got the same aspects of the de-levering problem in other places but there's two big structural positives linked to the view I have on oil.
The shale gas thing is a big story and I think it's helping quite a lot of industry think a lot more positively about the U.S. than has been the case possibly in a generation. People point at DOW chemical and have actually publicly stated this and you see evidence of this partly why job growth is picking up, it's not for more normal reasons it's a bit of a new phenomenon for the U.S.
And then in addition, I think the housing market is turning in the U.S.. I think that the U.S. has got some legs at least for the next couple of quarters. Big picture there's all sorts of issues but I think the U.S. might continue to positively surprise."

This article is for our sponsors at CodeProject. These articles are intended to provide you with information on products and services that we consider useful and of value to developers
We've received a lot of feedback from the BlackBerry® developer community around how changes in device screen resolution impacts app development. What causes further grief is the late notice of these screen resolutions — i.e. surprise, we have an awesome new device with screen resolution A x B! Which usually has the following response <homer>Doh!</homer>
Well, this time around, we're going to get ahead of the curve (no pun intended) and let you know what's coming so that you can plan in advance, and we'll share what we're doing to make your lives easier.
We gave out BlackBerry® 10 Dev Alpha testing devices on the BlackBerry Jam World Tour so that developers could start building their applications and test on hardware that has the same sensors and screen as what is coming with the first BlackBerry 10 smartphone. As everyone knows by now, the screen resolution on the Dev Alpha device is 1280 x 768. Let's just go on record and confirm that this will be the screen resolution shipped with the first BlackBerry 10 full touch device.
Thorsten Heins has also gone on record letting everyone know that full touch isn't going to be the only BlackBerry device that we produce. We are also continuing with our iconic keyboard for users like me who love typing on a physical keyboard. This new physical keyboard device will have a screen resolution of 720 x 720.
Now you may be thinking, great, you're letting me know what the screen resolution is ahead of time, but what are you doing about making my life easier going forward?
We've listened, we've learned, and we are now telling you that moving forward new smartphones will be standardizing on the following screen resolutions which will allow you to design your applications to fit two main form factors:
I'm pretty sure that I know what most of you are thinking: What about the first BlackBerry 10 full touch device? Why is it a different screen resolution? This first BlackBerry 10 device has been in the works for quite some time now with lots of supply chain management and manufacturing tooling to bring it to launch. So it's pretty much a sealed deal.
This initial 1280 x 768 resolution difference from future devices typically affects those developers that are building a custom full screen UI, such as a game, for the first BlackBerry 10 device. If you are in this camp, you have a couple of options depending on your business needs:
The fact that we are standardizing on two main screen resolutions going forward has been largely influenced by you, our community of developers. We are committed to making the BlackBerry platform the absolute best – and easiest – application platform for you develop on in order to innovate and grow your business.
Our frameworks are also taking these different form factors into account so that if you are using core Cascades™ controls and layouts, the UI framework will adjust the control sizing and layout as much as possible for you.
We'll be continuing to add features and functionality into the application frameworks which will help you easily manage the differences between screen sizes in your application. We'll also be updating the User Experience Guidelines to provide layout and interaction considerations when building applications for the different form factors, so stay tuned!

NEW Bird Atlas Mapstore
Now freely available online - over 3,500 maps showing the distribution, range change and abundance for over 500 bird species that have been recorded in Britain and Ireland during the atlases spanning 1968 to 2011. Bird Atlas Mapstore hosts all those extra maps that we couldn't fit into the books!
Bird Atlas 2007–11
Bird Atlas 2007–11 is one of the most ambitious volunteer projects ever undertaken, to map birds in both winter and the breeding season from every inch of Britain and Ireland. Bird Atlas was a partnership between BTO, BirdWatch Ireland and the Scottish Ornithologists' Club.
The fieldwork is now complete and we are keen to make the most of the data collected. The BTO aims to go 'Beyond the Maps' to investigate the changes highlighted by Bird Atlas.
Discover how the data are being used now for direct conservation work in the UK, and read about BirdWatch Ireland's work.
Key findings
For nearly all of the 300 species covered by the Atlas, changes have taken place, be they range contractions, expansions, location shifts or subtle changes in abundance
- Over the last 40 years the British breeding ranges of 37% of species have contracted, whereas 38% have expanded to new areas. In Ireland, 47% have contracted and 18% expanded
- 13 species, including Cuckoo, Swallow and Bullfinch, have increased in Ireland and northen Britain but decreased in lowland Britain
If we don't act now it may be too late for some species. Ring Ouzel, Snipe and Whinchat are all showing significant declines.
The UK breeding distribution for Short-eared Owl has almost halved in the last 40 years
Severe declines for breeding waders such as Redshank and Curlew
Why are woodland birds like Hawfinch, Wood Warbler and Willow Tit are amongst the 20 species showing the greatest range contractions in Britain?
Next steps
With your support we are starting an ambitious two year programme of scientific research (using data from Bird Atlas 2007–11) called Beyond the Maps that will be used by us, and other organisations, to answer the pressing conservation questions of the next decade. Read an update on the work here.
"We need to analyse the huge amounts of data we collected for the Bird Atlas so we can make robust evidence-based recommendations to help bird species which appear to be declining in numbers, like the Bullfinch, Short-eared Owl and Redshank" .

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — The long-expected decline in the stock market may now be underway.
Monday's drop makes it five days in a row for the venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.42% The market's tumble from its recent peak is a bit over 4%.

It is true that the Dow's down days are far from a record. So is the percentage drop-off.
However, it comes after a nervous start to the new year, which follows a rather impressive gain in 2013. It also follows a number of warnings many market followers have issued since the end of last September.
That's when investors first started to get really nervous. The main issue at that time was what to make of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and its guidance for future actions.
Then there was the question of Fed leadership. At that time, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's successor was not yet known, and everyone knows that the stock market hates uncertainty.
Speaking of which, the long-running squabble inside the Beltway was another source of angst on the Street of Dreams. However, the market soon adjusted and pressed onward and upward.
By the end of November, however, more edginess appeared.
Small investors started to ask whether it was time to sell. They were becoming aware of the magnitude of last year's gains — not to mention the fact that the Dow more than doubled from its low point in March 2009 at a time when the overall economy grew barely 10%.
Even though the market was becoming increasingly overvalued by most traditional measures, a plethora of buyers kept pushing stocks ever higher until it became obvious that many players were ready to take some money off the table.
Who knew that they would take the table as well?
The main culprits in today's decline are concerns over domestic earnings and a slowing in the economies of several major developing countries, China being the prime example.
As for earnings, so far this season, disappointments seem to be outpacing positive surprises. And the Fed has begun to cut back its easy money policy by reducing its purchases of bonds, thus causing interest rates to rise.
Although cheered by savers and retirees, higher interest rates are anathema to housing, which has already begun to soften. They also make stocks less attractive, especially when combined with slower earnings growth.
Although they've outpaced economic growth for several years, earnings have gone about as far as they can go without help from the economy. And if December's weak employment report is any guide, this help may not be available for a while.
As for fiscal policy, the government's budget deficit continues to shrink, both in absolute terms as well as in relative terms. And we just learned that the debt ceiling will have to be dealt with earlier than expected.
The good news is that, despite the selloff, stocks are still near their record highs.
The bad news is that there has been no correction of at least 10% since October 2011.
After all, stocks need a correction every once in a while to give new money a chance to get on the bandwagon. At least that's what your broker will tell you.

Round 1 Tiebreaks: A few surprises, and one appealThe third day of the FIDE World Cup in Tromsø is over and all the results of the first round are in. After two days 36 matches out of 64 had been decided. The remaining 28 matches continued with playoffs. By Anastasia Karlovich All the tiebreak games The latest videos Results and pairings According to the regulations of the World Cup tiebreaks two rapid games are played at a rate of 25 minutes for each player with an increment of 10 seconds per move. If the score is still tied two accelerated rapid games are played with a time control of 10 min + 10 sec. If the score is still deadlocked two blitz games are then played at 5 min + 3 sec. Finally, if a winner has still not been determined a sudden death Armageddon game takes place with 5 minutes for White and 4 minutes for Black with a 2 sec increment after move 60. In that game Black has draw odds (i.e. he wins if the game is drawn). 15 players were eliminated after two rapid games. In general, the favorites won their matches: Peter Svidler, Michael Adams, Alexander Morozevich, Dmitry Andreikin, Anton Korobov, Jobava Baadur and Alexei Dreev all went through to the next round.
Georgian GM Jobava Baadur won against Ukrainian GM Martyn Kravtsiv with a 2-0 score. At the same time a few of the rating favorites were unexpectedly knocked out of the World Cup at this stage.
Norwegian player GM Hammer defeated Armenian GM Sergei Movsesian (pictured above) in the first game of the playoff and drew the second game, thus eliminating his more experienced opponent from the FIDE World Cup. Brazilian GM Alexander Fier defeated an opponent more than one hundred points higher rated, Polish GM Radoslaw Wojtaszek.
Women's World Champion Anna Ushenina lost the first rapid game but could have upset Peter Svidler in the second. She missed her chance and the Russian player won the match. 13 rapid matches finished drawn so 26 players continued their battles at the 10 min + 10 sec time control. Gata Kamsky, Alexei Shirov, Teimour Radjabov, Ruben Felgaer, Rafael Leitao, Eltaj Safarli, Viktor Bologan, Yuriy Kryvoruchko and Alexandr Shimanov were successful at that stage.
Not an easy match for Gata Kamsky, who only managed to win the fifth game against Chinese IM Lou Yiping.
Hou Yifan and Alexei Shirov exchanged victories in rapid and continued their match. The Latvian player proved to be stronger at the 10 min + 10 sec time control. Despite the final outcome, the former Women's World Champion showed great play in the event.
After two draws in the classical games Azeri GM Teimour Radjabov struggled against GM Jorge Cori (Peru) in rapid – each won a game. The spectators were waiting for an exciting continuation at the 10 min+10 sec time control. Surprisingly, Cori didn't appear in time for the first game. One second after the start of the round, Teimour Radjabov stopped the clock, signed the score sheet and left the playing hall, while Jorge Cori was running to the playing hall. Using the advantage of the white pieces the Azeri player didn't have any problem drawing the second game. After the end of the match GM Cori from Peru made an appeal. The decision of the Appeals Committee has been published here on the official website.
00-00 on the clock and Jorge Cori is not in the playing hall
A little less than 2 minutes later Cori came to the playing hall and tried to explain what had happened.
An unfortunate day for Russian GM Alexander Riazantsev, who lost against Argentinian GM Ruben Felgaer. Four matches remained to be decided in blitz. Two Russian GMs Zvjaginsev and Alekseev were defeated by Polish GM Swiercz and Indian GM Adhiban respectively, while players on the two remaining boards reached Armageddon games. Many participants of the tournament and spectators came to watch the matches Tomashevsky versus Ramirez and Melkumyan versus Granda Zuniga in the playing hall. Playing White Evgeny Tomashevsky defeated his opponent and Granda Zuniga, who played with Black and just needed to make a draw to advance, also managed to win. The second round of the FIDE World Cup starts at 3 p.m. local time on 14th of August. 64 participants will continue playing but as before only half of them will advance to the next stage.
Round 1 - Game 2: Judit Polgar, Andrey Volokitin and Ian Nepomniachtchi are knocked outJust as in the first day, there were plenty of fireworks on the second day in the FIDE World Cup in Tromsø. Thirteen players won their matches with a 2-0 score (except Alexander Moiseenko, whose opponent could not come to Tromsø). While some victories with impressive results could be expected from top players such as Aronian, Kramnik, Grischuk, Nakamura and Dominguez, there were also a few 2-0 results produced by players with rating lower than their opponents. Russian GM Daniil Dubov managed to outplay experienced and higher rated Ukrainian GM Sergey Fedorchuk. American GM Ray Robson didn't leave any chances for Ukrainian GM Andrey Volokitin by winning 2-0. One of the most surprising results for those, who compare the ratings of opponents, happened in the Nepomniachtchi-Wei match. The youngest participant of the event, Chinese GM Yi Wei (nominee of FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov), defeated Russian GM Ian Nepomniachtchi 1.5-0.5. The participants of the upcoming Women's World Championship match Hou Yifan and Anna Ushenina are doing well so far. Anna Ushenina defeated Peter Svidler in his favorite Grunfeld and Hou Yifan drew the second game against Alexei Shirov. The reigning Women's World Champion and former one will proceed in the playoff stage tomorrow. The strongest female player in the history of chess, Judit Polgar, lost out on a number of winning chances, drew against Cuban GM Isan Reynaldo Ortiz and lost the match. 28 matches were not decided after two games in classical control and 56 players will continue to fight at 3 p.m. local time on August 13.

A coffee table does a lot of work. It needs to hold books, magazines, drinks, food — even games on game night. You might want to put your feet up on it, or the kids might need a place for coloring. Plus it's usually smack dab in the middle of the room, where you can't miss it — so make sure it's a good one. Sculptural wood coffee tables tell their own story and can add a natural element and warmth to a room with multiple upholstered pieces.
Coffee tables come in thousands of different shapes and sizes, as do living areas. When making your purchase you need to find the size and shape that will best match your room whilst still looking and functioning how you require. Some people consider the look of a coffee table their number one priority and may prefer a very large coffee table for maximum visual impact. Others prefer to maximize the amount of floor space available for other uses. As a general guideline it is preferable to have a minimum of two feet around each side of the coffee table and it should be reachable, without standing, from each of the seating areas.
If you don't want the coffee table to be the focus of the room, choose one with a glass top and a finish that blends with others in the room, as in this example. This will keep the eye interested in all the items in the room, not just one layer of the design. Metal bases with glass tops are another good choice to keep rooms feeling open. They're also great when you have a special rug and don't want to block views of it. Keep your glass cleaner handy, though, as there is no way around fingerprints. Keep in mind that with most glass tops — if they are not inset — you'll see a green tint on the sides. You can order a speciality glass that doesn't have this tint, but it's more expensive.
Sealers and, of course, coasters can help protect the surface from water damage. Sometimes a coffee table that isn't the standard height or width is exactly what a room needs. In this instance a very low coffee table creates a crisp horizontal plane in the foreground, offsetting the long horizontal line of the credenza in the background. A higher table would have blocked the view of the credenza and competed with it; the varying heights add interest.

Lia Halloran's work blurs the boundaries of photography and become self-portraits and drawings as well as records of performances. Light is used to form the drawing line while Halloran skateboards at night through different venues. The resulting images are each a trajectory of the artist's movements over time. The photographs pair urban environments with lines of light which behave as physical objects or break apart into flurries of abstraction.
The images also have ghost-like connotations, showing action with no trace of a figure and leaving an after-image of where but not of whom. They become memory as well as exaggerations of architecture combined with landscape. The light pollution of the Los Angeles night sky is often heightened by the long exposure time of the camera.

The biggest offseason news of the high school football landscape. Legendary head coach Rudy Hubbard is stepping away from the sidelines. The man who spent the past 4 years restoring class and honor to the Rickards football program submitted a letter of resignation this week.
He went (12-25) on Tallahassee's southside but his impact on the Raiders football team can't be restricted to just wins and losses. Those around the school say Hubbard helped restore honor, class and strength to the program.
Coach Hubbard will obviously be more remembered for his College National Championship days (1978 & '79) with Florida A&M, but the pride, dignity and strength he helped instill at Rickards despite only winning 12 games in 4 seasons will not be forgotten.
Coach Hubbard will remain on staff at the high school but a search for his replacement will begin immediately.
Here's the press release from the Rickards High School Athletic Department:
"James S. Rickards High School dolefully accepted the resignation of legendary Coach Rudy Hubbard on Thursday, January 12, 2012. During his four year tenure, Coach Hubbard has led the Raiders Football team with honor and pride.
His accomplishments include bringing discipline, sportsmanship, and an improved team academic performance to the program as paramount life skills. He has also had several players recruited into Division I (FBS) and Division I (FCS), and Division II programs.
Coach Hubbard has also led the Raiders to three straight Nick Menacof-Rod Pigott BBFOA Sportsmanship Awards, as well as being a pivotal contributor to the 2009-10 FHSAA Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup All-Sports Award presented to the school.
His steadfast leadership and stalwart commitment has been a cornerstone of his tenure at James S. Rickards High School. His presence in our school and within the community has been truly noteworthy, as he reached out and compassionately touched many lives. There is no doubt that the next leader of our program will have major shoes to fill."

If a water level of 3.00 metres above NAP is anticipated for Rotterdam the Storm Surge Barrier in the New Waterway has to be closed. In these circumstances the Storm Surge Barrier computer - the Command and Support System (Dutch acronym BOS) instructs the Control System (BES) to shut the barrier. The BES implements the BOS's commands.
In the event of a storm tide, the docks are filled with water, so that the hollow gates start to float and can be turned into the New Waterway. Once the gates meet, the cavities are filled with water and the gates sink to the bottom, thus sealing off the 360 metre-wide opening. After the high water has passed the gates are pumped out and the structure begins to float again. Once it is certain that the next high water will not be another abnormally high one, the two gates are returned to their docks.
When the New Waterway is sealed off it is no longer possible for shipping to pass. The storm-surge barrier will only be closed in extremely bad weather – in probability once every ten years. A test closure will probably be conducted once a year in order to check the equipment. This will be done when there is little shipping. With the rise in sea levels the storm-surge barrier will need to close more frequently in 50 years time, namely once every five years.
