The rest of the world might never understand the violence Velupillai Prabhakaran stood for, but its imprint on Sri Lanka is wide and deep. For 26 years, the elusive leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had waged war with the government to win an independent homeland, or eelam, for the island's Tamil minority. The struggle claimed more than 70,000 lives--including, on May 18, Prabhakaran's. The government says he was killed, along with 17 of his trusted lieutenants, while fleeing an army ambush.
Prabhakaran, 54, was born to a middle-class family on the Jaffna Peninsula. Incensed by discrimination against Tamils and radicalized by a militant grade-school teacher, Prabhakaran founded the LTTE in 1976, a year after a group he headed claimed responsibility for killing Jaffna's mayor. By 1983 the guerrilla movement--which pioneered suicide bombings and the recruitment of child soldiers--escalated the fighting into a civil war.
At the height of his power earlier this decade, Prabhakaran led a de facto government that controlled vast swaths of territory and boasted its own systems of taxes, roads and courts. As the army closed in, he allegedly used thousands of Tamil civilians as human shields. By the final days, just 250 LTTE members remained. They died too, along with the dream of eelam.

PRINCETON — A Missouri man has been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 2 felony of auto theft.
Wendell M. Bankers, 22, of St. Louis, Mo., entered his guilty plea on Nov. 8 before Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich. Bankers was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay court costs and possible restitution.
Bankers was represented in court by Bureau County Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecuting the case was Bureau County State's Attorney Patrick Herrmann.
On Aug. 27, a Ladd citizen reported suspicious behavior of two individuals to the Ladd Police Department. The citizen reported the two individuals were attempting to solicit funds to obtain gas money for the completion of a trip. The vehicle which the two individuals were using had a broken window and no license plates. When the vehicle was determined to be stolen from the Quad Cities earlier that morning, both individuals were placed under arrest. The key to the stolen vehicle was found in Bankers' pocket. It was also determined the clothing of the defendant contained pieces of glass which appeared to be from the broken vehicle window.
Bankers was previously convicted of auto theft and placed on probation in 2008 in Missouri.

WASHINGTON (Jan. 10, 2013)—Have you ever wanted to ask a question of the man who discovered the remains of the Titanic or the primatologist who pioneered field research on wild chimpanzees?
Robert Ballard and Jane Goodall — along with National Geographic explorers in the field on every continent — will take questions from the public in a live Google+ Hangout from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (ET) this Sunday, Jan. 13, marking the 125th anniversary of the National Geographic Society. People around the world are invited to submit questions for the explorers or to videotape themselves asking a question for use in the Hangout.
Exploration is the National Geographic Society's passion and the focus of the January issue of National Geographic magazine. Sunday's Hangout will be a conversation about the new age of exploration. The event will be the first in a series of monthly National Geographic-Google+ Hangouts with explorers leading innovative field research across the globe.
Sunday's event will use Google's innovative multi-participant, live video-chat platform. The public can submit questions by:
- Uploading a video question to YouTube with #NatGeo125
- Posting a question on Google+ or Twitter with #NatGeo125
- Commenting on the National Geographic News Watch blog
- Leaving a comment on this Facebook post
The Hangout can be viewed on the National Geographic Google+ page or on YouTube.com/NatGeo.
Since its first expedition in 1890 to map the Mount St. Elias region in Alaska, National Geographic has led the way in exploration of the planet — and in harnessing new technologies to bring the stories of exploration to its readers and viewers.
Robert Ballard is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence who is most famous for his discovery of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Ballard has pioneered the use of robotics to explore ancient shipwrecks and natural wonders of the sea.
Jane Goodall received her first grant from the National Geographic Society in 1961 and went on to lead a 50-year field study of wild chimpanzees. Her research revealed that, like humans, chimps make tools to procure food and they engage in violence against each other.
Other explorers participating in Sunday's Hangout are:
- Kyler Abernathy, National Geographic Crittercam team member, participating from Antarctica
- Kenny Broad, environmental anthropologist, Florida
- Albert Lin, research scientist/engineer, California
- Krithi Karanth, conservation biologist, India
- Paula Kahumbu, wildlife conservationist, Kenya
- Sebastian Cruz, biologist, Ecuador
- Boyd Matson, National Geographic radio host, serving as Hangout moderator from National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C.
A "new age of exploration" will be celebrated Society-wide throughout 2013, including the National Geographic Channels, website, books, magazines, video and live events. The yearlong initiative has been made possible through a 125th anniversary partnership with Rolex. Leading brand of the Swiss watch industry, Rolex has accompanied many of humanity's greatest feats as men and women have broken long-standing records, defied the elements and explored the globe's most forbidding frontiers.

A Victorian Rowhouse in Toronto
Designer Meredith Heron's Toronto is a mix of color, pattern and texture. The calm, neutral walls and floors balance out the wilder fabric, furniture and rugs, so while the house is full of pattern and movement, it still manages to be comfortable and cozy.
More designer touches: The bedroom is colorful and full of bold accent pieces but thanks to the deep blue wall color, the overall impression is soothing. The assorted picture frames in the dining room add interest through contrasting shapes and tones to a large wall expanse - it's a look that could be reproduced on a budget using secondhand or IKEA frames.

It's the dream of any parent whose child is diagnosed with autism: The symptoms will fade away over time.
What keeps the dream alive is that in rare cases it comes true. Several studies over the years have documented cases in which children have improved so much that they no longer meet the criteria for diagnosis or require extra support in school.
Those children have long presented a puzzle to researchers. What distinguishes them from people for whom autism is a lifelong condition? And what distinguishes them from people with typical early childhood development?
Deborah Fein, a psychologist at the University of Connecticut, is beginning to answer those questions. In a study published this week in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, her team recruited 34 people who had been diagnosed with autism early in life but now appear to be functioning normally.

Unused Images
I have noticed some images being proposed for deletion because they are unused. I have been going through the category and deleting all the duplicate images (also frequent lately), but leaving the unused ones because they are in the Anybody part of the tasks page, so I have always though that Special:UnusedImages exists so that users can add them to pages, not just propose them for deletion (unless vandalism or something like that). Is there any official (unwritten) policy on this, or does anyone else have any thoughts? Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 09:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- The ones I want deleted the most are the old low-quality images that have been replaced with newer higher-quality images but without using the "Upload a new version" link. I can give you a list of them if you think old low-quality images should be deleted.--spaceeinstein 18:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I have been deleting them too! For example, yesterday I deleted
Image:FlashCD.jpg, and changed all the pages that used it, so now they use Image:Toni.jpg. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I have been deleting them too! For example, yesterday I deleted
- Like
Image:Coquette1.JPGand Image:Coquette2.JPGhave been replaced by Image:Coquette (GTA4) (front).jpg and Image:Coquette (GTA4) (rear).jpg, Image:LCPDCruiser1.JPGby Image:Police Cruiser (GTA4) (front).jpg, Image:ForkliftGTAIV.JPGby Image:Forklift (GTA4) (front).jpg, and so on. Those are what I mean, too.--spaceeinstein 23:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- Like
OK, they have been deleted, now I know why you proposed
Image:Coquette1.JPG for deletion (and probably others that you have said are "unused"). I think in future you just have to be more careful with the proposal reason, and actually include a link to the better quality image (that is replacing it). Thanks! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:50, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll be more descriptive next time.--spaceeinstein 00:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Me too.
I have 1 idea for tonight and no ideas I want to go with for Monday. All the ideas I have are either taken or not a good fit...
... so I'm glad we have until Sunday to figure it out.
by e_galston » Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:05 pmi have a really good pick for monday's pick...
by HNutz » Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:13 am
Daisy Johnson, Eden Fesi, Garabed Bashur, Adam Brashear, Julia Carpenter, Navid Hashim
(Quake, Manifold, Black Box, Blue Marvel, Madame Web, Arabian Knight)
[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand
Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. "Quake" is more of a junior Nick Fury than "Nick Fury Jr." She worked with him and a handful of heroes during Fury's Secret War and quickly moved up the ranks of SHIELD. Aside from Fury & Black Widow, she's the only known agent with Level 10 clearance. She was one of Fury's "Secret Warriors" when Fury went underground and was even an Avenger for a little while.
Like Fury & Tony Stark, she's been the leader of SHIELD. Like Stark, she's had to erase some of her own memories. Like Fury, she's no longer in charge of SHIELD. In "Secret Avengers", she's been "indefinitely suspended" over her handling of a specific situation (attempted assassination of a foreign power). She knows something big's coming. But she's not going to let a suspension stop her.
Which is where our story begins....
Her first stop once she's on the run? Eden Fesi, a.k.a Manifold. He's an Avenger and, more importantly, he's a teleporter with unlimited potential. They were Secret Warriors together, she looked after him when he fell into a coma and, in turn, he helped her during that memory erasing ordeal.
From there, their next stop is India to pick up her next recruit, a technopath called Black Box. Maimed by Sabretooth, Bashur was believed deceased until his recent encounters with Deadpool. He's been on both sides of the law and never too far from SHIELD observers/bagmen. They need him as tech support for Johnson and to help contact their next recruit... Blue Marvel!
Blue Marvel has been around the Marvel Universe since the 60's, but was forced into retirement and now focuses mainly on his research. Johnson wants to recruit him, not only for the power that he brings to the table (even if he only participates in the occasional mission), not only for the use of his secret underwater base in the Mariana Trench but also for assistance with the next recruit, the psychic who initially warned former Director Johnson of the impending doom... Madame Web!
Julia Carpenter "inherited" the precognative abilities of the former Madame Web upon her death. Even though she's now blind, she still has her Spider-Woman powers and can handle herself in a fight. She foresaw an upcoming crisis and, knowing that Spider-Man wasn't the one to go to for this problem, she contacted the person she saw in her visions. She's been contacting the director for months now, helping Johnson understand the threat that's on the horizon and giving her time to plan.
While Carpenter has limited knowledge of the future, she had no idea Johnson's next step was to recruit the Arabian Knight. When SHIELD compromised, Johnson has had to look outside for help. Hashim has a uniform made from an unravelled magic carpet that allows him to fly, a magic sword and a great deal of military knowledge. And he surprisingly gets along well with Johnson's next recruit....

First Pick: Daisy Johnson
Ties: Manifold was a Secret Warrior with Johnson
"I'm Afraid of Americans": Black Box (Born in India)
Rookie of the Decade: Blue Marvel (First Appearance: November 2008)
Mind Over Matter: Madame Web (precognative)

First Pick - Nightwing
Ties - Green Arrow (Ollie)
Non-American - Union Jack
Rookie of 2008 - Stonewall
Mental case - Justice (telekinesis)
Fairytale - Puck (Midsummer Nights Dream)
by BubbaKanoosh » Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:40 amI have a pick for Mondays, which I was going to use for the rookie but was created before 2003...doh
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sat Nov 09, 2013 10:24 am
Green Arrow II: Served with Batman in the JLA
Robin V Damian Wayne Rookie 2006
Sandman powers of precognition
Pied Piper
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sat Nov 09, 2013 10:27 amQuestion about Mondays pick, does the name have to be exactly like the historical figures name or just part of their name? Example could Abe Sapien be used with Abraham Lincoln?
by BubbaKanoosh » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:16 am
That works for me...
Abe is short for Abraham, like Rich is short for Richard.
by HNutz » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:29 am
I would assume that one name would be sufficient... as long as it's not a particularly common name these days. Probably couldn't get away with Richard Grayson for Richard Nixon or Oliver Queen for Oliver North, but Abe Sapien for Abraham Lincoln is different. Or so I'd imagine...
by pastajoe » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:42 amI was thinking it meant that you match on the historical last name, like Hannibal Lector, Wilson Fisk, or Franklin Richards. Otherwise it seems too easy. And it wasn't my entry.
by BubbaKanoosh » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:44 amQuestion regarding Monday: What if I have a historical figure whose last name is the same as a characters first name. Does that work?
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:18 pmOk I just took a random DC Comics characters real name and googled it to see if it matched with any real people and surprisingly it did. So I have my pick for Monday now and am pretty confident no one else will pick him.

Two from this catalogue of hilarities, I think, could be added to our year's list:
(1) "Hypercritical/hypercrite" strikes me as a good eggcorn, and as a substitute for "hypocritical/hypocrite" it's as common as fruit flies (many of the hits, of course, are the English word "hypercritical" meaning "extra critical").
(2) Search engine scans for "female/women's/woman's interwishing/s" turns up a few examples that look like they might be genuine.

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
I love interwishing. Here's a variation: inner wishing:
Political forum: "My inner wishing is telling me this is bad news and we are going to face the consequences of this big time…. Take this from an old woman whose batting average on inner wishing holds more home runs then strikes."
Fanfic: "Breaking through some bushes, and thinking about his trip to the mountain Willow stops, pulls out a map he has been chartering through the years of traveling and plots a shortcut that would have saved him days if he had only listened to his inner wishing when he began his travel to the mountain."
Of course the past-tense verb form is inner-wished, not intuited:
Fanfic review: "Enough, at least, that I started to cry after the village elders scene – because I kind of inner-wished Itachi had done exactly as Danzo said and carried out his mission to the T, other men be damned..and then I felt like a Bad Person"
Also: into wishing:
Answer forum: "If you have to question yourself on that than the odds are he is, go with a woman's into wishing."
Forum: "Along with (my gift) meaning my into wishing, which runs in the family."
I agree that hypercritical and interwishing are great, Kem. Hypocritical was asking for it; who can ignore the illusory critic hidden in there? Inner wishings and into wishing are even better, cutos to larrybob.
I thought there'd be some explicit love for ovary action. That one strikes me as a new classic on the the level of a nominal egg. It's like a late 19th c. psychological diagnosis: you're having a hysterical ovary action.
Here's some evidence for the surprisingly common jet eye mind trick. Mojo hand, monkey paw and jet eye.
The best jet eye mind trick the GOP every performed, was getting blue collar republicans to be very passionate about the financial well being of millionaires.
Ok, call me crazy, But this happend alot when i was in my r/s. and would leave me wondering or a feeling that some jet eye mind trick was just pulled on me.. you know the feeling when something just does not sit right.
a hysterical ovary action
Now that you explain it, I get it. Didn't think about the old ovary/hysterics link.

I agree, Tocayo. I reported the ovary action on Facebook and got some: the women in my family took note that I had picked a moment when I was alone, several thousand miles from the nearest of them. It is a dangerous one, but very, very beautiful.

Fitness Equipment Maintenance
Whether you work in, run, or own a gym for public use, or whether you use a home gym, you will have two reasons for wanting to keep your fitness equipment in tip top shape. The first is for safety and efficiency. Your gym equipment needs to work properly and you want to avoid accidents and injuries to yourself or the people using the equipment.
This R60 has got three pre-set programmes that are alterable. An inbuilt fitness test evaluates your heart rate recovery to keep your workout on track. The permanent magnetic servo can be modified; also the R60 is compacted and folds effortlessly. Modifiable, built in foot rests can be found on the front cover. The weight of the rotating mass is 8kg; the drag control is positioned on the handgrips. The machine's unique heart rate controlled operation ensures maximum benefits from every workout. At last, its frame is especially durable and steady, for the reason that it is designed with 2 rails as opposed to a single rail. This characteristic helps in steering clear of the racking and also twisting frequent on fitness machine's made by other firms.
Treadmills offer seamless cardiovascular benefits. You can monitor and control your heartbeats and enjoy a rigorous workout to enhance physical strength. You can easily gain aerobic heart rate and still increase it for additional benefits. The entire process is monitored through various input means and you can count on modern treadmills for accuracy and perfect synchronization as per your individual requirements. This type of balanced workout reduces the risk of high blood pressure with lower triglyceride levels and cholesterol.
Write down your workout plan or save it in your phone to keep yourself on track. Know how to meet your weight training objectives. Some people want to increase muscle mass in specific areas while others just want to achieve overall toning. Know which lifts address your target areas. Also, remember that smaller weights and more repetitions are good for toning while larger weights and fewer repetitions are better for bulking up.
Balance training is helpful, but you can't rush it. Your physical trainer will help you discover which exercises will work with you to improve your balance, which ones you should avoid and most importantly which ones are beyond your current fitness level and are therefore dangerous.

August is a bitter-sweet month.
August is a bitter-sweet month.
It's a time when summer winds down and most families are done with vacations, summer rec programs are finished and weekends become less jam-packed.
It also signifies a new beginning–of the school year.
In four short days, students at the public school in Sleepy Eye will begin another school year. The following week, students at St. Mary's and St. John's will return for another year.
There's plenty of stress that surrounds back to school–from the anxiety kids might be feeling, to the strain the season puts on your wallet (who knew school supplies could be so pricey?!)
Each year that I take my kids school shopping for supplies, it seems like the list–and expense–has grown. When I was a kid, every August was marked by a trip to the store for folders and pencils, perhaps with a few boxes of tissues thrown in. Years later, when I bought school supplies for our son, the list had broadened, but it was still modest, largely consisting of products that my son would directly use. However, this school year when I was required to buy post-it notes, a 20 pack of pens, 4 large boxes of Kleenex to share in the classroom and a host of other office supplies that didn't seem related to the educational experience of my children, I bristled.
A reason for the expanded list of supplies is that parents are increasingly being called upon to make up for cuts in educational funding. When the economy takes a downturn, education is usually one of the first things cut. Schools are being asked to do more with less. Federal and state budgets are being balanced on the backs of parents and students.
This past May, Gov. Mark Dayton signed an education budget bill that boosts funding for public schools over the next two years.
The $15.7 billion bill is the biggest piece of the state budget. It increases education spending by $485 million over current levels.
A key issue that was tackled in the legislative session was the issue of school levy inequities. Legislators made strides to help districts at the bottom end of the referendum game. Legislation was passed to get everyone to at least $300 per pupil seeking school board levy authority to accomplish this.
"There are approximately 10 percent of school districts in the state that don't have an operating referendum, Sleepy Eye being one of those districts" said Dr. Tom Melcher, the school finance director at the Minnesota Department of Education. "For those districts, this law allows school boards to pass a resolution that would allow them to raise $300 per pupil of revenue as if they had gone to the voters and passed a $300 per pupil referendum."
Senator Chuck Wiger, who chaired the Education Finance Division and authored the E12 senate bill, said the $300 per pupil unit was written with rural districts like Sleepy Eye in mind.
"Everyone should have the same right of access to educational opportunities throughout the state regardless of zip code," Wiger said. "It just wasn't fair that some of the districts were coming up short, particularly in rural Minnesota."
Last Thursday the District 84 Board of Education approved a resolution authorizing a new board approved referendum authority that would allow them to raise revenue as if they had gone to the voters and passed a $300 per pupil referendum.
What will this mean for tax payers?
In a future edition of the Herald-Dispatch look for an in-depth story outlining exactly what this referendum authority means and how it will look to tax payers.
In the meantime, enjoy your first day back to school!

'Adrift in Macao' is a bellyful of laughs
When the director is Bradford Blake and the musical is a parody of some venerated show business form, you know you're in for a good time. And that's precisely what you'll have watching his new production of "Adrift in Macao" at New Milford's TheatreWorks.
The musical is a song-and-dance takeoff on a memorable chapter of American film history: the Hollywood film noir hits of the 1940s and 1950s.
If you're an enthusiast of movies like "Casablanca," "Double Indemnity" or "The Maltese Falcon," it's a cinch you'll go for a show that satirizes them in a big way. And the fact that "Adrift" is awash in silly, often sophomoric and seemingly endless riffs on the oldies only adds to the enjoyment.
The one-act musical is the brainchild of Christopher Durang (book) and Peter Melnick (music). The former is a playwright with a reputation for outrageous and zany scripts like "Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge," "Beyond Therapy" and "The Idiots Karamazov." The latter, the grandson of Richard Rodgers, was responsible for 26 film scores.
"Adrift" involves characters who find themselves in China for reasons that remain mysterious. They are all waiting for something, though none of them knows exactly what it is. They include your expected film noir standards: Laureena, a seductive blonde who is a nightclub singer; Rick Shaw, a cynical night-club owner (with apologies to Humphrey Bogart), Mitch, a hard-bitten American on the lam from the police after being framed for murder by a shady villain, Mr. McGuffin.
Then there's Corinna, Rick's current nightclub chanteuse, who -- habituating the Orient -- naturally has a thing for opium. Finally, there's Tempura, a Chinese person, so named because he has been "battered by life." He's as full of the puns and quips, often in less than acceptable taste, as any other character in the musical.
But the thing about "Adrift" that grabs you is that its humor is never sophisticated, nor do you expect it to be. Durang's dialogue doesn't hold a candle to Stephen Sondheim's. If it did, something would be dreadfully wrong. You're just carried on the wave of its never-ending mindlessness as if underneath its quirky exterior it had a symphonic underbelly of its own enjoyable kind. A golem with a heart of gold.
More InformationIf you go:
"Adrift in Macao" runs through March 23 at New Milford's TheatreWorks, 5 Brookside Ave., New Milford.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee on March 10 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $28 for reserved seating and may be purchased by calling the box office at 860-350-6863 or online at www.theatreworks.us.
Blake has assembled an accomplished cast to do the Durang/Melnick bidding. Jonathan Ross plays Rick, the casino owner with an eye for the ladies; Tom Denihan is Mitch, the hard-bitten expatriated Yank on the trail of the stranger who framed him; and Shannon-Courtney Denihan plays Laureena, the beautiful blonde seductress who can show the best of them how to slink around in a black gown.
Vicki J. Sosbe is Corinna, the equally alluring casino singer who, in a trade-off to keep the gods scratching their heads, finally exchanges opium for tranquilizers when putting all her problems behind her.
Tom Libonate, as Tempura, injects some of the most hilarious moments of the show into the mix, while Blake's direction has all performers putting their best feet forward.

MASON, Ohio—One of the biggest drug dealers in the Cincinnati area was led into court this week. He looked more like the president of the math club—skinny, pale, bespectacled, dressed in a blue buttoned-down shirt and khakis, and just 17 years old.
Three weeks before he was supposed to start his senior year in high school, Tyler Pagenstecher pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges in juvenile court after being arrested and accused of playing a major role in a ring that sold as much as $20,000 worth of high-grade marijuana a month to fellow students in and around this well-to-do suburb.
"He is his own little czar over this high school scenario," said John Burke, commander of the Warren County Drug Task Force, adding that he has never seen a more successful teenage drug dealer in his jurisdiction.
At his sentencing Sept. 18, Pagenstecher could be ordered held until he turns 21.
While some neighbors and fellow students at Mason High School were shocked at the arrest, saying Pagenstecher seemed like an ordinary, easygoing kid who liked skateboarding, riding bikes and hanging out, 17-year-old friend Leslie Philpot said she and plenty of others knew he smoked pot and suspected he sold it, too.
"Anyone he was friends with knew," she said. "He never came out and said, 'I sell drugs' but he would say things where you know what he was talking about it. He'd be like, 'I don't have a real job. I don't need one. I have plenty of money.' Then he'd wink and you would know."
Pagenstecher (PEG-ehn-steck-er) took orders from adults who led the drug ring but was in charge of six teenage lieutenants who helped sell the pot, authorities said.
They, too, were arrested, as were seven adults, ages 20 to 58, who allegedly grew the weed under artificial lights in a furniture warehouse and two suburban homes.
The task force seized more than 600 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $3 million, or $5,000 a pound. Investigators also found $6,000 in cash in Pagenstecher's bedroom.
Pagenstecher and his family denied requests for comment, as did his lawyer.
Most of his customers attended Mason High and Kings High, two highly ranked public schools some 20 miles outside Cincinnati with lots of high-achieving, college-bound students from neighborhoods filled with doctors, lawyers and white-collar employees of Procter & Gamble and other major corporations.
Burke said Pagenstecher had been dealing drugs since at least 15 and managed to stay under authorities' radar for a long time by not selling pot at school, but largely out of his home, a two-story, white-brick house on a spacious corner lot where he lived with his single mother and 20-year-old brother.
Investigators said they found no evidence Daffney Pagenstecher, a school bus driver, knew what her son was up to.
By all accounts, he didn't throw a lot of money around. He had no fancy car, no fancy clothes, just normal teenage stuff like video games, Burke said. But the task force eventually got wind of what he was doing from informants and other sources last year, and undercover officers bought drugs from him twice, the officer said.
"Whenever you have someone in high school selling this kind of volume, it's going to attract attention sooner or later," Burke said.
Courtney Reeves, a high school teacher who grew up down the street, said she did notice a lot of cars coming and going from his house but figured he had a lot of friends.
"He honestly was your average high school student," Philpot said. "At least everyone thought he was your average high school student."
She said she wasn't surprised Pagenstecher was able to do so much business at Mason. "Any party you go to, you walk in and you're handed a beer and offered to hit a joint," she said. "It's everywhere—football players, basketball players, straight-A students, cheerleaders."
With his arrest, Pagenstecher achieved a sort of celebrity among classmates, Philpot said: "There's some people who are like, 'Tyler's a god. He's amazing for pulling that off for so long.'"
She said Pagenstecher is incredibly smart and always got A's and B's but never talked about whether he wanted to go to college.
Prosecutor David Fornshell said it is clear that Pagenstecher is highly intelligent, and he hopes the young man goes straight.
"At the end of the day, that's what I want to see," he said. "Getting him straight so he can use his intelligence for the betterment of society rather than trafficking drugs to our young people."

I've written a bunch of posts in the past on serotonin, the serotonin theory of depression (and why it's probably wrong), and some stuff on current antidepressant treatments. And I even talked before a little bit about the serotonin theory vs the BDNF theory. But I've never really COVERED what the BDNF theory IS and how it works. And then I saw this paper, and here's my opportunity!
But I have to warn you, this is a LOTTA paper. But it's ok, the point is good. ONWARD.
Schmidt and Duman. "Peripheral BDNF Produces Antidepressant-Like Effects in Cellular and Behavioral Models" Neuropsychopharmacology, 2010.
So what IS BDNF? And what's it got to do with depression? Let's take it from the top. BDNF stands for Brain Derived Neurotropihc Factor, and is part of cascade of proteins, produced in the brain, that promotes neuron growth and stops neurons from dying. It doesn't act alone, of course, but it's a highly useful little dude.
Here we might pause and say "neuron growth?! Wut?!" I don't know about you all, but when Sci was raised in her little public school system, she was told that we were born with all the neurons we would ever have, and that we would produce no more. But now we know that that isn't true. In fact, you produce new neurons throughout your lifetime, in two major areas of the brain, the subventricular zone and the subgranular zone. The subgranular zone is what we are concerned with right now. This is a region of the hippocampus (an area of the brain associated with learning, memory, and depression), and is found roughly here:
On the left is a human brain, on the right is a rat brain, and you can see how the hippocampus (in blue) is positioned in both species.
I'm sure you all knew that the hippocampus is associated with learning and memory, but it is ALSO associated with depression. Or, more specifically, with antidepressants. We used to think that antidepressants worked because they increased the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. But there was a disconnect between the way the drugs were supposed to work and the onset of the actual antidepressant effects. Traditional antidepressants like Prozac produce peak serotonin levels in the brain in within about 6-8 hours. But the antidepressant effects take longer. WAY longer, up to several weeks. So if the increases in serotonin themselves weren't causing the antidepressant effects, what was?
Well, it turns out that, if you treat an animal with a drug like Prozac for a few weeks, long enough to get a clinical effect in humans, you also get neurogenesis in the hippocampus, along with increases in BDNF. So the idea is that, somehow, antidepressants increase BDNF, which helps to increase neurogenesis, and this produces antidepressant effects.
There are other studies to support this. For example, stress and increases in the stress hormone corticosterone will cause DECREASES in BDNF, and decreases in neurogenesis, and stress itself is associated with the development of major depressive disorder. Not only that, but PEOPLE with depression actually show lower levels of BDNF in their blood than people without.
So with information that BDNF promotes neurogenesis, and stress causes low BDNF, and is associated with depressive behaviors...well, what does BDNF itself do? Scientists have tried putting BDNF directly into the hippocampus of rodents, and gotten increases in neurogenesis and antidepressant effects. But most patients wouldn't really want people all putting drugs directly into their hippocampus. So this study aimed to see if they could get antidepressant effects of BDNF, just giving it in the periphery of the body rather than the brain. Even though it's "brain derived" BDNF is in fact found all over the body, so maybe treatment there could produce effects.
But BDNF has a REALLY short activity period. REALLY short. Giving it as an injection or a pill every day wasn't going to work. So they used a nifty little gadget called an osmotic minipump. You pump these little pumps, filled with drug mixture or saline, under an animal's skin, and it'll just hang out there, with very little pain or irritation to the animal, for as long as you need. In this case, they treated the animals for two weeks with BDNF. The two week treatment is important, because antidepressant effects with normal antidepressants like Prozac normally require THREE weeks. If you can get effects in two weeks (or less than that!) it'd be better than what we have now. In this case, while they looked for the final studies at the end of two weeks, they ran behavioral tests after the FIRST week, to see if the antidepressant effect could come on that quickly.
So they treated the mice, and put them through their paces.
Up here you can see the first set of behavioral tests. The one on the far left is the forced swim test, where you look at what scientists like to call measures of "coping". Basically, you lower a mouse into a bowl of water where its feet can touch the ground. Mice are good swimmers and for a few minutes it will scrabble valiantly against the walls and swim around, trying to find a way out. When it realizes there IS no way out, the animal will stop swimming and float. We call the swimming 'active coping' and the floating 'passive coping'. We know that antidepressants decrease passive coping (floating) and increase active coping (swimming and climbing), and scientists usually take this as a sign of antidepressant activity. The forced swim test is a VERY common screen for antidepressant drugs. You can see in the graph on the far left that the animals who got either saline or the lowest dose of BDNF floated for between 250-300 seconds, while the animals that were being treated with the two highest doses floated a lot less.
The middle graph shows similar effects in a test for antidepressant activity called novelty induced hypophagia (NIH). This test, and the one on the far right (Chronic mild stress, which I'll get to in a minute) are important because they measure the effects of CHRONIC antidepressant treatment, while the forced swim test usually measures the effects of a single injection (though it can also work for chronic treatment as we saw here).
Anyway, NIH test tests to see how long it takes an animal to approach a tasty food in a novel environment. Antidepressants make them approach it faster. Think of it like this: every day, you come home from work or school or whatevs and I give you a tasty cake. You get cake every day, and pretty soon, you come home from work every day being like "WHERE IS MY CAKE!!?!?!" Then, on the last day, I throw you out in the middle of the ocean on a life raft, with the cake. Presumably you'd be a bit more worried about being on a raft in the middle of the ocean, and it would take a little while to get to your cake. With mice, it's just like that, only with something mice find tasty, like peanut butter chips or Froot Loops. You can see that the mice take a lot longer to approach the tasty food in the novel environment, and treatment with the higher doses of BDNF actually decreases how long they take, which is interpreted as both antidepressant and an antianxiety response.
Finally, on the far right up there we have chronic mild stress. This involves treating the animals for a while with...chronic mild stress. This varies so the animals don't get too used to it, but involves some mixture of chilly rooms, strobe lights, rock and roll music, rocking the animals back and forth, and other little things designed to discomfit the animals. After chronic mild stress animals show signs of depression, like drinking less tasty sugary drink when given the opportunity. You can see there that treatment with BDNF made them drink more sugar water after stress than when they didn't get treated (though they still didn't do as well as unstressed animals).
This figure shows the effects of chronic BDNF (I think they picked the middle dose as the best one) on measures of anxiety. Both the elevated plus maze and the open field test work in the same way. Mice like the dark and nice covered tight corners. Light and open spaces stress them out. So how much they will go in to a lighted area or an open area is a measure of anxiety. You can see that BDNF helped with anxiety in the elevated plus maze, but didn't show any difference in the open field. The authors say maybe this is because the open field is less stressful, but it's hard to tell. These tests are VERY sensitive, and honestly it could have been anything.
So ALL these graphs put together basically show that chronic BDNF treatment produces antidepressant-like (we always have to say antidepressant-like until we've seen it in a human) effects. And the cool thing is that they saw these effects after only a WEEK of treatment, rather than the usual THREE WEEKS required for most antidepressants.
And behavioral tests are fine, but what about neurogenesis? After all, antidepressants produce neurogenesis, right?
Well, so does this:
These graphs show increases in neurogenesis and survival. You can see that while the drug treatment had no effect on neurogenesis (it didn't help produce MORE neurons), it DID have an effect on survival. Normally, there is turnover of produced neurons, with some of them dying off. Giving BDNF prevented that, so allowed more neurons to stay around. So while it's not producing neurogenesis, it has a similar effect (though I think it could possibly have produced neurogenesis itself if maybe they had given it longer).
Other experiments they did in this study confirmed that BDNF was working through specific cellular machinery specific to BDNF, and not through other ways (this included differences in cellular machinery with names like pCREB and ERK), but the finding is clear, giving BDNF produced antidepressant effects in stressed mice, and helped neurogenesis by increasing cell survival. This means that drugs which target BDNF, rather than the antidepressants we have now which target serotonin, could be used to maybe combat depression (though whether this is specific to stressed individuals, who can say). Not only that, it may also means that we can use blood levels of BDNF to measure depression in people (though I am personally not to sure about this, there have been mixed findings on this one).
Now, I would like to point out that none of this PROVES that low levels of BDNF cause depression. In fact, decreasing BDNF artificially in animals doesn't itself cause changes in the depressive behaviors I described above (though it makes them more susceptible to stress). So the reality may be that low levels of BDNF and decreases in neurogenesis may be only part of the problem, or may be a symptom rather than the problem itself. But just because it's not the cause, doesn't mean we can't use advances in the study of BDNF to try and find new treatments. And now that we know that BDNF itself can be administered and have antidepressant effects in animals, perhaps we can use that knowledge to make new drugs which target BDNF, producing better antidepressant effects than what we have now. Sure, BDNF right now can't be taken as a pill, but you'd be amazed at the stuff we can come up with.

Quarterbacks make the sun rise in the National Football League -- at least over our nation's capital.
The Washington Post reported Monday that the playoff-bound Redskins are "seriously considering" a contract extension for coach Mike Shanahan this offseason, according to multiple people with knowledge of the team's planning.
Shanahan, who's 21-27 in three seasons with the Redskins, has gone from hot seat to throne in Washington during Robert Griffin III's rookie campaign.
In 2010, Shanahan signed a five-year contract that expires after the 2014 season. One source with knowledge of the matter told The Post the Redskins are deciding whether to negotiate an extension this offseason or next, when Shanahan, 60, would be entering the final year of his current deal.
That source, speaking anonymously, believes the Redskins likely will push the matter this winter, but "not until after the season."
Shanahan and his son, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, have shown considerable creativity and flexibility altering their offensive approach to fit RG3's gifts. The Redskins shifted midstream to a pistol attack that stymied defenses and triggered seven consecutive wins en route to a 10-6 record and the team's first NFC East title since 1999.
The turnaround has captured the imagination of Washington's fans and forced the league to think differently about the quarterback position. The Redskins don't want to see this feeling slip away.

President Milliken hosts annual Student Leaders DinnerPresident Milliken hosts annual Student Leaders Dinner
University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken and his wife, Nana Smith, hosted the seventh annual Student Leaders Dinner on Oct. 10, 2010. More than 130 students from the university's four campuses joined Milliken and other NU faculty and staff for dinner and conversation.
"One of the best parts of my job as president is getting to interact with our students – the future leaders of Nebraska," Milliken said. "These students have shown exceptional leadership and scholastic abilities during their college careers, and I know they have bright futures ahead of them."
Student leaders were identified by their respective campuses. Those attending the dinner included undergraduate and graduate students, student government representatives, scholarship winners, leaders of campus organizations focused on diversity, and many others. Students came from a wide range of academic interests, including medicine, education, journalism, engineering, law, business and nursing.

Don't know if anybody watched the Broncos V Raiders game but at half time had a snippet from the above interview. Was different to see Wilson answering questions about how he really feels regarding being drafted after 5 other QB's & being Rookie of the Year. Maybe he has hinted this way before but I've only seen him answering those sort of questions by putting the team & winning first.
Steve's Tweet on NFL.com "I flew to Seattle to interview Russell Wilson on Wed. This guy is The Real Deal !! You'll see it on Game Day Morning- Sunday"
Don't know what channel its on as I don't live in the States but there you are.

Charged with selecting a memorial for the site of the terrorist attacks in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, a jury must choose between two finalists from among 5,000 anonymous submissions. One finalist, the Void, a black granite rectangle 12 stories high, is considered too dark by some. The other finalist, the Garden, with a pavilion, two perpendicular canals, trees in orchard-like rows and a high white wall, seems just right—until the designer's name is revealed. Then all hell breaks loose.
Amy Waldman's first novel, The Submission, charts the layers of that hell in a searing tale about racial profiling following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Waldman, whose short fiction has appeared in The Atlantic, The Boston Review and other publications, was a co-chief of the South Asia bureau of The New York Times and knows her territory well. Her depiction of Muslim life, customs, places, rituals and shrines in the United States and in countries like India and Bangladesh is impeccable. Waldman also has a sharp eye for contemporary attitudes of hypocrisy and moral lassitude, which emerge during the numerous arguments, debates and moments of soul-searching that make up much of the plot.
This is a book driven by its theme: a society not held together by principle will break apart. Characters, action and even setting are secondary to the ideas Waldman espouses. That is not necessarily a flaw, but it does make the reading slow.
Among the major players are Claire Burwell and Paul Rubin. Claire, whose husband was one of the victims on 9/11, is among the jurors, as is Paul, a retired banker. Initially, they believe a garden would speak to mankind's need for healing, and they convince the others to go along.
But the Garden, or at least the concept of a garden, does not heal. It causes chaos, hatred, destruction and death—not because there is anything wrong with the design but because the designer, Mo (Mohammed) Khan, is a Muslim.
As people learn Mo's identity, they try to change the rules of the competition to eliminate his entry. Some question whether the garden is even the clear winner. Some say the public, not the jury, should have picked the winner. The governor conveniently decides that she alone should have the final word.
Most of the story is concerned with reactions to Mo's ethnicity as opposed to his winning design. Even though he was born and raised in the United States and is not a practicing Muslim, his religious orientation upsets nearly everyone—from the jurors to the media to the families of the victims to the average citizen who reads about the process in the newspapers to members of the New York Muslim community.
Only Asma Anwar, an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh who lost her husband at the World Trade Center, speaks for Mo, for the right thing and for the God of Islam. Eloquently and in broken English, she brings the audience to tears during a town hall meeting. For her courage, she pays a price, yet she never loses her faith. "He [God] would not abandon her if she did not abandon Him," she says. But God seems to do just that as the story tragically unfolds.
Several people, including Mo's family, advise him to withdraw his design and submit to the pressure of anti-Muslim sentiment. If he does bow out, will the other finalist, the Void, automatically become the winner? As one of the jurors puts it, there was no joy on 9/11, so its memorial should be a kind of created destruction, visceral, angry, dark, raw—just (ironically) as the atmosphere surrounding Mo and his ethnicity is emotional and angry.
In another of the book's many ironies, a brother of one of the victims asks whatever happened to right and wrong. Significantly, no one answers him. But since his idea of right and wrong is based on his anger over the loss of his brother, his question—situation ethics at its finest—is just another example of the difficulties found in a world where, to paraphrase Hamlet, nothing is inherently good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Ultimately, this true-to-life but fictional account is chilling not because the book calls to mind the circumstances surrounding 9/11 but because those circumstances, with their mindless prejudice against all things Muslim, continue. As Waldman brings back the era's poisonous atmosphere, she shows readers that the poison has not abated. In fact, it has mushroomed.

PINHEIRO-MACHADO, Rosana. 'The confucian ethic and the spirit of capitalism': narratives on morals, harmony, and savings in the condemnation of conspicuous consumption among chinese immigrants overseas.Translated byLetícia Maria Costa da Nóbrega Cesarino. Horiz.antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0104-7183.
From a reflection on market and consumption changes in contemporary China, this article discusses the Chinese diaspora's role in rediscovering "traditional" values, especially those related to notions of harmony, hard work and savings, based on the religious and philosophic Confucian heritage. If, on one hand, we observe today deep consumerism among the young generations living in China, on the other hand, the denial of conspicuous consumption appears as a distinctive feature among Chinese immigrants living in Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), where they work as importers and distributors of goods made in China. Due to these characteristics, I outline a comparison with the Calvinist ethic as analyzed by Max Weber, drawing approaches and differences between Protestantism and Confucianism regarding conspicuous spending, work ethic and wealth accumulation.
Keywords : China; Chinese diaspora; Confucianism; consumption.

Topological phases, quite generally, are
difficult to come by. They either occur under rather extreme conditions (e.g.
the quantum Hall liquids, which require high sample purity, strong magnetic
fields and low temperatures) or demand fine tuning of system parameters, as in
the majority of known topological insulators. Many perfectly sensible
topological phases, such as the Weyl semimetals and topological
superconductors, remain experimentally undiscovered. In this talk I will
introduce a system in which a key dynamical parameter adjusts itself in
response to the changing external conditions so that the ground state naturally
favors the topological phase. The system consists of a quantum wire formed of
individual magnetic atoms placed on the surface of an ordinary s-wave
superconductor. It realizes the Kitaev paradigm of topological
superconductivity when the wavevector characterizing the emergent spin helix
dynamically self-tunes to support the topological phase.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Leah Bogsted broke a 4-4 game with a two-out double to centerfield scoring Kerry Dixon as MIT walked off with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Regis College in non-conference play at Briggs Field on Saturday. Bogsted went three-for-four with three RBI, and also picked up the win while striking out four in two strong innings of relief.
The Engineers (5-19) broke out of the box first with three runs in the initial frame. Lily Keung walked and stole second, before Chelsea Ostrander delivered an RBI double to left center. Jessica Oleinik followed with a single up the middle and advanced to second on the throw as Ostrander moved to third. After Dixon walked to load the bases, Holly Jeffrey reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Ostrander. Regis starter Kristen Tavares struck out the next hitter, but Bogsted drilled a single to left, scoring Dixon, before the Pride hurler finally put out the fire.
However, the Cardinal and Gray was back for more in the fourth padding the lead when Bogsted came through again with a two-out single to center that scored Jeffrey, who also singled and advanced on a groundout.
After a scoreless fourth frame, the Pride (9-10) exploded for four runs in the next two innings to tie the contest. In the fifth, Tavares singled to short and Hope Benjamin followed with a hit to left center, sending Tavares to third. Tavares scored on a wild pitch as Benjamin advanced to second. The latter scored when Rachel Cavella doubled up the middle.
Holding a 4-2 lead after five, MIT surrendered two unearned runs in the sixth. With Bogsted taking the ball from Oleinik, Erin Johnson reached on an error, before Ashley Paolini doubled to center. Bogsted got the next two hitters on a strikeout and popup, but Benjamin followed with a single that scored Paolini and Johnson.
The Engineers threatened in their half of the frame but couldn't score after Lara Kostun led off with a double to right center. Tavares retired the next three hitters.
Bogsted responded, getting the side in order on two strikeouts and a foul out in the seventh.
With the score knotted at four, Dixon singled down the left field line with one out in bottom of the frame. Jeffrey's short dribbler to the catcher resulted in a hit as Dixon advanced to second. She then moved to third on McCartney's fielder's choice. McCartney advanced to second on a passed ball, before Bogsted delivered the decisive blow.
Ostrander and Jeffrey each went 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored for the Engineers. Dixon went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Benjamin led the Pride with two RBI, while going 2-for-3 with a run scored, while co-captain Cortney Coles went 2-for-2.

Btc Panda - peer to peer crowdfunding platform
Hello Every one
I just Found this btc panda which can be use to fund any project
this btc panda is a new kind of crowdfunding platform
To Be able to Get Help one must provide Help First.
The amount he can Get Help is the total of his/her provided Help Plus the 1% Daily increase of the provided help.
BTC Panda is the brainchild of a handful of people wanting to free themselves up and the rest of the world from being financial ponies of the Mercantile World. Little did they know that same goal is to be achieved by the rest of us. This group of people shared their expertise and BTC Panda was made. They envisioned a future of a community where people helps each other all thru and in BTC. They believe The Bitcoin Technology will bring forth equality.
Equipped with an IT Expert, Marketing Guru and Bitcoin Enthusiasts, these group of people created the Platform, the compensation plan and the rules
Crowdfunding is the heart of the community, the mind is the Bitcoin Technology. If you are familiar with Kickstarter, that is crowndfunding.
Crowdfunding is the common core of banks and the likes. In simpler terms, it is the pooling of financial assets of a certain number of people and equally giving each contributor a rightful share on that financial asset pool depending heavily on his/her contribution be it expertise or funds. That is why BTC Panda created a compensation plan. To reward those with few funds but with bigger dreams and action plans.

The maximum number of BTC you can contribute as a beginner is upto 15 BTCs only. The same will be locked with the first 15 days and can only be withdrawn on the 16th day onwards. The lock down for 15 days is needed for the algorithm to match your Provided Help to those who are Getting Help.
Pins are needed before you can make any kind of transaction within the community. As you notice, with a certain amount of BTC, before you will be given a chance to receive 1% daily, you will need to purchase Pins and the same contribution is reserved for the communitys expenses. So prior to rewarding anyone, all the factors to consider to run the platform smoothly has been taken care of.
