SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – UCSB men's tennis dropped a hard-fought 4-3 decision to #36 San Diego State (10-4) in a marathon match that went on for almost five hours. With the score tied at 3-3, the match came down to court 5, where Sasha Gryaznov lost in three sets to SDSU's Juan Florez, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
The Gauchos and Aztecs back and forth battle began in doubles play, with the doubles point coming down to the last match at court 2, where Axel Bouillin and Benjamin Recknagel were locked in close match with SDSU's Siddiqui and Khachatryan. UCSB's pair saved two match points at 6-7 and was up 4-1 in the tiebreaker before SDSU closed the gap to 5-4. SDSU ended up winning the tie-breaker (7-5) and clinched the doubles point to lead the match 1-0.
UCSB received a win at the No. 1 position with Mbonisi Ndimande and Ziad Sultan's victory over Nicholas and Bertsch, 8-5 and lost at court 3, where Riminton and Seemann dropped their decision 8-2.
The Gauchos were able to split the singles matches, winning at courts 3, 6, and 4. At the No. 3 position, Benjamin Recknagel got UCSB on the board with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Nicholas. Andrew Riminton and Ziad Sultan added two more victories from courts 6 and 4, respectively, to give the Gauchos a 3-2 lead after a loss at court 2 by Axel Bouillin. Riminton recorded a win in straight sets to beat the Aztec's Khachatryan 6-3, 6-3 and Sultan won in three against Tawasi, 6-3, 6-7, 6-1.
Coach Marty Davis said he was "real pleased with Riminton's win" and added that Recknagel and Sultan "played very well."
The Gauchos battled hard in the remaining two matches at courts 1 and 5. At court 1, senior Mbonisi Ndimande lost the first set 3-6 against No. 71-ranked Derek Siddiqui but came back to win the second set 6-4. Ndimande hung tough with the nationally ranked player but ultimately lost 3-6 in the third set.
Coach Marty Davis said of SDSU's Siddiqui, "He's a tough player [who has] super good ball control…so it was a difficult match. Bo attempted to overpower him and obviously did for one set but couldn't for two sets."
At court 5, the game came down to the match between Sasha Gryaznov and Aztec's Juan Florez. Gryaznov started off the match with a 6-4 first set win but dropped the next set 4-6. Gryaznov was up 2-1 in the third set but Florez battled to win five straight games, sealing the 4-3 win for SDSU.
After the game, Coach Marty Davis said the match was "a painful one to lose" but "overall, this might be the best tennis we've played this season."
The Gauchos hope to carry their solid play into Monday's match when they take on visiting Utah at the Rec Cen Courts. Action is set to begin at 1:30 PM (PST).

The Spiritual Guide
You hear it from a friend of a friend that apparently there's this guy who's got the good stuff – the very best of the best of whiskies, rums, vodkas and other spirits that it's possible to find anywhere in the entire country. Apparently, his business is called 'The Spiritual Guide' and he's got a website where he does web shows and offers private tastings for small groups. You jump on the computer. The site looks schmick - very upmarket, classy, premium. You look through the products. What a fantastic selection, it's too hard to choose. You find the phone number, you call, the guy asks a few questions and makes a recommendation. You give him your credit card details. The bottle is due for delivery next Wednesday. .... The bottle arrives. You take it inside. You give it pride of place on the liquor shelf. You wonder when you should open it. Do you savour that first nip for a quiet session of introspection or do you invite your buddies around to partake in such a moment of indulgence. Either way, you know that when those first sweet drops hit your tongue, it's going to be heaven. Well of course, what else would one expect after being tailor matched by the experts from The Spiritual Guide.
This little scenario is trying to convey the special and premium nature of the service and products that The Spiritual Guide will offer.
Connoisseurs of any spirits category, especially whisky connoisseurs. Very broad age group from 25+. People who have the expendable income that are willing to fork out that bit extra because it's fancy or because they recognise quality product and service.
Must be schmick. Must look super-premium.
Black background.
Logo colours can incorporate anything. I am partial to gold (for a whisky theme: think golden whisky or gold leaf) or maybe even a multi-coloured design along the lines of stained glass windows (for more of a 'spiritual' theme: think church windows). Royal red or royal blue might go down alright as well.
I'm also partial to damask, and leaf and scroll, especially leaf and scroll done by engraver Steve Lindsay – search for some of his knife engraving designs.
There's a fair bit there to think about and I hope I've given you enough to play with. Don't try and incorporate all of my suggestions into one design. By all means, feel free to think outside the box and give me a design that you feel would better fit my description of this business.
At the end of the day, I'll be looking for a logo that is simple, elegant, classy and fits the feel for this business.
Best of luck!

Why are Bees and Wasps Worse in the Fall?
There is something peaceful and soothing about watching a busy bee gather nectar in the heat of summer. Buzzing amongst the beautiful posies, bees and wasps complete a Kodachrome picture of the season. But as time creeps through fall and ever-nearer to the cold winds of winter, bees and wasps become a much more ominous part of that lovely picture of nature. Why are bees and wasps worse during the fall season? What makes them aggressive and dangerous especially at this time of year? We will break down some of the reasons and help you to have a fall as lovely as your summer, without the threat of bees and wasps.

Customer Reviews of Ace Walco Pest Control
Good Company
On time
Great customer service and follow-up
Technician was extremely knowledgeable
My tech name was John Torres very helpful tech very nice person i appreciate everything you done to help me with my problem i hope if i ever need you guys again you send John or someone as good as he was thanks again i appreciate your help.
Tony is an excellent pest control operator. He is always pleasant and upbeat when he comes to the library. He always tells us to let him know if we have any issues. We really like having him as our bug man
I have been a customer of ACE WALCO for many years. I use their spring treatment program which has been very successful in providing much needed protection to my home, since we are located in a very rural wooded section of Sussex County. I have always found the customer representatives to be very professional and attentive to my needs and concerns. Their technicians are very courteous and knowledgeable of their profession and attend to their duties in a very efficient manner.
Recently a friend called me on a late Friday afternoon. She was in a panic as she had found many bees in her house and was fearful that a family member might be stung. She told me that she called one company and they told her that they could not help her until Monday! This was not acceptable. I connected her with Kim at ACE WALCO who made sure this emergency situation got the highest priority. That afternoon, Kurt, in my opinion their top technician, despite having a very busy and hectic day, was at her home taking care of the situation. My friend was so thankful for ACE WALCO, that she will be using them from now on. Thank you ACE WALCO for a job well done!
After killing several bees in my family room for two days, it was apparent we had a problem that was now escalating by the minute. I called a company on a Friday morning and I was told they could not get to me for 72 hours. I began to think at the rate I was seeing and killing these bees, we would all be dead by then. I called a friend for advice whom immediately told me about a wonderful company that he had been using for 20 yrs. He was kind enough to give Ace Walco a call for me to see if his service man was available to help me. I then contacted the office and was greeted by a lovely girl named Kim who assured me all would be ok. She would be sending a gentleman named Kurt out to me within a few hours. Kurt came within two hours of the call! He was fabulous and quickly identified the bee as a yellow jacket. I then showed him to a closet where I heard a crackling noise. He went outside and immediately found their entry way. As we began to remove items from the closet shelves, we came across a six inch long crack.Kurt commented that was it! They were in! We witnessed yellow jackets emerging like the front line of an army! Well Kurt went into action with his spray. After drilling four holes into the wall and treating with poison, he taped them up and gave me further instructions to do after the treatment procedure. He then checked the basement foundation and the entire outer structure of my home. He was was very professional offering much information and advice. I will definitely call this company again to set up annual spraying, Thank you Ace Walko and Kurt for coming so quickly!
We have been dealing with Ace Walco over 40 years and have never been disappointed.
One call and they are there the same day. Fast, reliable, and pleasant service.
You will not be disappointed
Superior service and responsiveness!
I recently had set aside a weekend to clean out my garage. Upon beginning my work, I was stung moving a rolled up carpet, and was afraid there was a nest inside. I called multiple different exterminators on a Saturday morning, and only Ace Walco was able to help me that day.
Within an hour of my call, John was at my house, and confirmed there was a nest. He not only treated the nest, but he devised a way to get the carpet out of the garage, so I could continue my project.
I'm incredibly grateful for his quick and thorough assistance, which saved me from losing the whole weekend to get the chore done!!
For the past three years we have been using the services of Ace Walco to protect our home from rodents and all other unwanted pests. Our technician Tony does an incredible job of keeping our home pest free.
When we have had an occasional pest invade our home in between our scheduled 3 visits a year. One phone call to Ace Walco and Tony is at our home ftaking care of the issue and making us feel more comfortable.
We highly recommend Ace Walco and more than that we highly recommend Tony. He's the best.
I called yesterday as I notice that there was an insect issue in my apartment. Everyone at Ace Walco was so nice & professional. They had someone come out right away (the same day) for an estimate and was even able to schedule a treatment appointment for the next day (which was Friday of Memorial Day Weekend!!!) to take care of the problem. Gaye, James & Andre thank you so much - I never had an issue like this and appreciate your help, knowledge and assistance. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of an exterminator!
Tony is the consummate professional. Punctual, personable, and knowlegable. Would highly recommend.
On 4/19/18 your service technician, Walter Borda, serviced our termite baiting system. In all the years we have been with AceWalco this is the first time all 13 baiting stations were thoroughly checked. Walter took the time to inspect each station and made the necessary replacements to each one. Thank you Walter for your complete and courteous service check.
I found this company while doing a google search and I clicked to call them. Actually got a real person first go! I ended up speaking with John the owner and he walked me through the process. Now I'm pest free and ready for my Easter guests. Thanks John and Ace Walco for taking care of these pests I've been dealing with all winter.
Called the office and the secretary was very pleasant and professional. I received a free estimate the next day by Walter. He explained everything thoroughly and was very professional and pleasant. Would recommend this company to everyone who needs this type of service..
Found some mice in my home. Devon from Ace Walco came out to check out my problem. Devon is by far the most helpful and understanding person I have had the pleasure of meeting, as far as pest people. He had patience in listening to my concerns and explained every step that would be taken. Thanks Devon, wish there were more people like that out there.
We have been using Ace Walco for many years, and have experienced nothing but THE BEST SERVICE! I know that when I call Ace Walco and speak to ELizabeth, that everything will be taken care of quickly and properly.
We're very happy with Tony's service. He's also kind, courteous and thorough, and answers any questions we have about his work.
Ace Walcott is the best service customer oriented co. Response to any of my questions is above reproach. All my problems were satisfied with delay. Natasha diligently addressed all my concerns @
Walked into my kitchen in the middle of the night and saw a mouse or something. Fussed around with traps for a couple weeks then realized I needed pro help. Thanks Sasha at Ace for helping me get rid of them!
They have come every time I've called. I have had numerous problems and two techs weren't taking care of it so I called and lou said he would send his top guy and he sure did. Walter borda came out and took extensive time to show me why I was having certain issues and worked diligently to
Make sure every detail was paid attention to and did things the other techs hadn't done the times before He is super friendly and hard working. I wish he didn't live so far away because he is amazing. Great job Walter you're the best by far
Does anyone else have Miguel Rodriguez work on their building? Gads, is he nice. So accommodating. He knows my tenants and asks if he should come and spray their apts today? Smiling, friendly and does a good job.

I had carpenter bees and called Ace Walco. They sent out Dean to exterminate them. He identified that they were in the eve's.He climbed a ladder all around the house and sprayed all the eves. It was a big job but, no more bees. Great job Dean.
This is a note of appreciation to John and Ace Walco for their super service for many years. Extremely professional,knowledgeable and courteous they are a wonderful service in our area to be utilized.
Had a bunch of flying ant things flying around my house, I tried fixing it myself with fly paper, when they didn't go away I called several pest control companies and found out they were carpenter ants and they could damage my home. Thankfully I found these guys. Thanks Ace!
When your taking care of an elderly parent who lives far away, its good to know that you can count on ace walco. I set up the appointment, they went to my mothers home and took care of the problem. Thanks again.
I called this company in a panic a couple of days ago because I had ants coming into my house. Some had wings! A real person answered the phone. She gave me some good advice over the phone with no pressure to book a visit. But I went ahead because my problem was freaking me out. The technician named Javier came promptly this morning. He was thorough and he explained everything.He was knowledgeable and calm. Now I am so relieved. Price for the service was under other estimates I'd been given.
they did a great job and were very friendly and treated my home as if it were there own.
Our service tech, Dean, was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely thorough, took so much time to explain everything to me, and was extremely pleasant. The fact that AceWalco employs people like Dean will make me refer the company to all of my friends and family! Thanks for such great service.
Natasha did an inspection today.....and she is the most pleasant, knowledgable and helpful person I could have had for this job. She put my mind at ease since I have not had an inspection since Ace Walco did it many years ago. I would recommend your company to anyone who needs this service. It was a most complete inspection by a most delightful person.
To whom it may concern,
This is to inform you that I am getting exceptional service from Mr. Assalam. He never cuts corner and goes above and beyon his call of duty to better serve customers. He is exceptionally good. People like him are asset to the firm.
Excellent overall experience with Ace Walco commencing with Devon, the representative who performed a thorough inspection, followed by Kim, who answered my questions and scheduled a convenient and timely appointment and finally Hector, the technician who promptly eradicated the hornet problem. Every member of the Ace Walco team was knowledgeable, patient, considerate and a consummate professional! Pricing was fair and the ValPak coupon was accepted without a problem. I purchased the TriPak Program and believe it to be very cost effective. Kudos and my sincere appreciation for a job well done!!!
Devastation sets in when you have a house for years only to be told you have termites. Ace Walco came highly recommended and all I can say is Thank God that episode is over.
my neighbor recommended acewalco to me.i am sooo glad i took her advice.the little critters are gone.thanks for a great job!
had problems with flying ants, went on the internet, found an exterminating company and a FRIEND FOR LIFE. SUPER JOB, WALTER... KUDOS TO WALTER!
I was devastated when I found out we had bed bugs, but Devon was my savior for helping me through the process like an expert. He walked me through each step with patience and understanding of the position I was in. I contacted several other pest control companies and all were pushing chemical this, chemical that. But Devon showed me there was another option--the heat treatment. It was new to me, but he explained it well and now I am bed bug free and not ashamed to go out any more. Thanks guys for all your help!
This crew is one of the nicest most respectful Exterminators I've ever come across. They are the best,i wish there were more like them around :)
Bill was our technician, I was very satisfied with his work, he was very knowledgeable, professional and took good care of my house. I highly recommend Ace Walco specially Bill he did an excellent Job
Thank You :)
Walter inspected my home and did a great job. We moved into a home that had been vacant for a few months. He did a thorough inspection and his recommendations cured our problem in a short amount of time.
Thank Ace Walco .. your office manager...staff and especially John for coming to my aid as quickly as he did. I was infested with bugs and John calmed me down and he became my hero. I am now bug free.
Thanks Ace Walco and especially John for taking the fear away when I saw some bugs. I called your office and the managar sent you, very very happy now!
Our exterminator Miguel is very polite, consistence, always on time, gets the job done always. He is a very good employee, you are very lucky to have him. Thank you! Paola =)
We have Miguel as our service rep. and are very satisfied with his work performance. He is very intuitive and very knowledgable.
Miguel is a employee of your company, is very nice, reliable and good worker! Good job!!!
We realized for the first time in 5 years since living here that there was an issue with mice. We placed a call and a rep not only was at our house with an estimate the next day-but was able to start step 1 in an effort to take care of the problem on HIS visit. I signed up immediately for his Tri Pak plan which covered for many issues (such as ants, bees, carpenter ants, any bug or rodent really) for $500.00 LESS than those other companies you see value pak coupons for!! My mother recommended them highly and now I would. Thank You Ace Walco!!!!
We've been a customer of Ace Walco for over 10 years and have been very happy with the quality of service we've received. The technicians are on time, efficient and always happy to answer questions. They are very accommodating when we have 'bug emergencies' and take care of them quickly.
I highly recommend Ace Walco! We called them after seeing termites and they were here within a day. The customer service on the phone was wonderful and the technician that came to the house was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and polite.
I would absolutely use them again.
We called three companies for estimates. Ace Walco was the most reasonable and we were very pleased with the service and knowledge.
They are very professional and took very good care of us.
I would highly recommend Ace Walco to anyone and we will definitely be using them again!

Much as the festivities are designed to honor and welcome alumni, they are most effective in building spirit and unity for the student body, with a broader effect that trickles into the community.
I was probably about 4 years old when the concept of homecoming came into my head. I was aware that there would be a parade, and I was excited about running to pick up candy thrown from the floats. Then as now, the parade is one of three that Moab enjoys each year, and while my little brain could understand what a Christmas parade and a rodeo parade was, I didn't understand what homecoming meant. Would a homecoming parade march past my house instead of down Main Street?
When I was little Moab had an exceptionally communicative mayor who would drive around the neighborhoods with a loudspeaker on his station wagon, announcing things he thought the folks should know about. Just like the ice cream truck on a hot summer day, you could hear Harold Jacobs coming from a half-mile away, blaring out news of community meetings and other civic events. He would slowly cruise up and down the back streets of town, slung back in his seat with one hand on the wheel and the other on the mike. We also had a regular noon whistle, which of course blew when something caught on fire.
During the late '60s people's Cold War fears were dwindling, but there were still concerns that global unease and national racial tensions could turn into full-blown tempests. I suspect those sirens and microphones were part of an underlying emergency awareness plan.
The plate glass window with views of the La Sal Mountains in our living room shook on a regular basis from sonic booms caused by overflying military jets and missile tests. My school had yellow signs affixed to it that said "Fall Out Shelter." Just like the term "homecoming," I was unfamiliar with the meaning of Fall Out Shelter, or its associated radiation symbol, perhaps because global worries had eased by the time I was going to Helen M. Knight Elementary School, which had been built a decade earlier. As students we had fire drills, but we didn't have air raid drills. I never went into the caverns below the school rooms of HMK, but I knew they were there because it sounded hollow below our classrooms.
HMK was replaced by a beautiful new building a few years ago, and traditions such as homecoming are still enjoyed and celebrated here and across the nation. But few towns have daily sirens or mayors who drive around telling residents what's happening. Twenty-four hour news is delivered in innumerable ways, and emergency updates such as Amber Alerts and flash floods are amazingly delivered into the palm of your hand via cell phone at any time of the day or night. Global anxiety is ebbing and flowing, and there is talk of what to do in far away places. Tensions could turn into tempests. We feel it here, this homecoming week, even without loud speakers and sirens.

Twelve years ago, Warwick firefighter Chris Librizzi and his family started a charity golf tournament. Librizzi's son, Zachary, had been diagnosed with Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes and there was a strong desire to do something positive for the cause. The tournament was born, and it has raised more than $900,000 since then.
This year, the cause will hit the ice.
Librizzi approached Warwick police officer Al Marano about rekindling an old hockey rivalry between the fire department and the police department. Marano and the police department jumped on board immediately, and the Mayor's Cup Hockey Game quickly became a reality.
Hockey teams from the fire and police departments will square off at Thayer Arena on Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. Proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"We really wanted to do something else in addition to the golf tournament," Librizzi said. "I approached Al Marano and he thought it was a great idea. Three months later, here we are."
Roughly 500 tickets have already been sold. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased by calling Librizzi at (401) 623-9611. They will also be available at the door, though it can't be guaranteed that tickets will be available.
Organizers are hoping for a sell-out.
"We're really looking to pack the place and have a great atmosphere," Librizzi said.
There's a hockey history for the police and fire departments. Teams used to play each other in an annual game – not for charity – in front of sell-out crowds. Fifteen years ago, the game was discontinued after a fight.
All parties involved guarantee that there won't be any problems as the rivalry is renewed.
"It'll be an intense, physical game, but this is a brotherhood between the fire and police departments and we're here for a good cause," Librizzi said. "Nobody's going to be dropping the gloves."
What will still remain is good hockey.
Thirty-five Warwick firefighters have high-level hockey experience, including Chris Winnes, who played parts of three seasons in the NHL, and Matt Anthony, who played in the ECHL. The police department has 18 or 20, including John Curley, another former ECHL player.
The fire department annually fields a team for a tournament in Cape Cod, and that team will be together again for the Mayor's Cup. The police department was a little short of a full roster so it recruited a few Rhode Island State Troopers.
Combined, there's a lot of hockey experience – and plenty of desire.
"Somebody said to us, 'If the police don't have enough, why don't you guys just give them one of your lines?'" Librizzi said. "We said, 'No way.' It's for charity, but it's a full-fledged game. It'll be a lot of fun."
And the action on the ice won't be the only attraction. There will be face-painting, a chuck-a-puck game, a tee-shirt toss, raffles and a sports memorabilia silent auction. Firefighter John Halloran, a member of the popular local band Those Guys, will sing the national anthem.
"I think it's going to be a blast," Librizzi said.
A host of volunteers will lend a helping hand, and Librizzi praised local businesses that have pledged their support with raffle items. Mayor Scott Avedisian is expected to attend, along with the police and fire chiefs and several other dignitaries.
Librizzi is hoping to raise at least $2,500.
"That's my goal, but I'd be thrilled if we could get more than that," he said.
And he envisions this year's game as just the beginning. The plan is to play again next year, with the police department choosing a charity.
"We'll go back and forth like that," Librizzi said. "Hopefully, when I retire, it's still going."
The golf tournament is certainly going strong, and there's no reason to think the hockey game won't follow suit. The good cause is a perfect fit – and the rivalry lives on.
"We're going to win," Librizzi said. "I'm very confident that the fire department is going to come away with it."

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan has announced HUD will speed federal disaster assistance to the state of New York and provide support to homeowners and low-income renters forced from their homes due to Hurricane Sandy.
Earlier this week, President Obama issued a disaster declaration for Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Richmond, Suffolk and Queens counties. His declaration allows HUD to offer foreclosure relief and other assistance to certain families living in these counties.
"Families who may have been forced from their homes need to know that help is available to begin the rebuilding process," Donovan said. "Whether it's foreclosure relief for families with FHA-insured loans or helping these counties to recover, HUD stands ready to help in any way we can."
HUD is:
•Offering the state of New York and other entitlement communities the ability to re-allocate existing federal resources toward disaster relief - HUD's community development block grant and HOME programs give the state and communities the flexibility to redirect millions of dollars to address critical needs, including housing and services for disaster victims. HUD is currently contacting state and local officials to explore opportunities to use the department's CDBG and HOME programs in order to expedite the repair and replacement of damaged housing;
•Granting immediate foreclosure relief - HUD granted a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and forbearance on foreclosures of Federal Housing Administration-insured home mortgages;
•Making mortgage insurance available - HUD's Section 203(h) program provides FHA insurance to disaster victims who have lost their homes and are facing the daunting task of rebuilding or buying another home. Borrowers from participating FHA-approved lenders are eligible for 100 percent financing, including closing costs;
•Making insurance available for both mortgages and home rehabilitation - HUD's Section 203(k) loan program enables those who have lost their homes to finance the purchase or refinance of a house along with its repair through a single mortgage. It also allows homeowners who have damaged houses to finance the rehabilitation of their existing single-family home; and
•Offering Section 108 loan guarantee assistance - HUD will offer state and local governments federally guaranteed loans for housing rehabilitation, economic development and repair of public infrastructure.
•Information on housing providers and HUD programs - The department will share information with FEMA and the state on housing providers that may have available units in the impacted counties. This includes public housing agencies and multi-family owners. The department will also connect FEMA and the state to subject matter experts to provide information on HUD programs and providers.
Read about these and other HUD programs designed to assist disaster victims.
HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the need for quality affordable rental homes: utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; and transform the way HUD does business. More information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet at www.hud.gov and http://espanol.hud.gov.

At 9:18 p.m. on Aug. 3, the San Francisco Police Department received a call from a man reporting that his brother was being held hostage in his own home. After three hours of trying to reach the victims, SWAT teams burst into the house.
Once inside, they found a husband and wife in their mid-thirties with their two small children, spending a quiet evening at home.
"There was no merit to any kidnapping or actual hostage situation," said Sgt. Michael Andraychak, a public information officer for the San Francisco Police.
The SFPD had been the victim of "swatting": placing prank phone calls to police to lure them to mobilize SWAT teams to respond to fake hostage situations.
Swatting has spread throughout the United States and Canada in recent months.
"Once you catch a swatter or a group that is committing these crimes, they are usually responsible for multiple swatting incidents," said Kevin Kolbye, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas office, which headed the first federal swatting case in 2007. Kolbye has been piecing together what appeared to be isolated swatting cases around the country since 2004.
In the past, offenders have solicited private information about their intended victims from phone companies and slipped the victims' numbers into the caller ID of the 911 emergency system -- a method called spoofing.
But according to Kolbye, it doesn't take an experienced hacker to trigger a fake hostage situation and mobilize SWAT teams.
"It's not like it's a hard crime," he said. "It just takes somebody who has a little bit of savvy about computers and telephone systems."
Recent swatting incidents may be copycats of earlier crimes, Kolbye said, instigated by past offenders who brag about their methods on blogs.
"I think you find a lot of copycat violations," Kolbye said. "Same as you find when a highly publicized serial killer is around, you find a lot of copycatting. So when crimes receive national attention, you find people who are intrigued with this type of crime and they emulate it."
Swatting perpetrators tend to be males between in their 20s and 30s -- social misfits who mobilize SWAT teams for nothing more than "bragging rights," Kolbye said.
Swatting in Canada and the U.S.
In Canada, local media report that SWAT teams were prank called to family homes in North Toronto and British Columbia last month.
In Florida, the Hialeah Police Department received a teletype on Aug. 2 with information that a shooter, armed with an AR-15 rifle, was holding a victim hostage in a local home. Public information officer Det. Eddy Rodriguez said that after five hours of evacuating surrounding buildings and attempting contact with victims inside the home, the SWAT team broached the house. Nobody was home.
Forty members of the Bergen County Police Department SWAT team burst into the home of cyber expert Perry Aftab in Wyckoff, N.J., on July 23, responding to a caller who reported that he had already killed four people and taken several others hostage. When SWAT members entered the home fighting tear gas from four bombs they thrown through the windows, they were greeted only by a cat.
"I'm not laughing," said Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin Fox, who was in lead command of the SWAT team.
Fox said that swatting drains local law enforcement of their already scarce resources and poses a danger to innocent victims who may accidentally get hurt.
"You've got police officers running around with high powered weapons acting under belief of a potential threat against them," he said. "What's if there's an accident? What if somebody innocently comes out of their house because of the hoax and it's perceived by officers of scene as someone else? After the fact, we would have to sort out that whole tragic situation which now has been elevated to another level."
All three recent U.S. swatting incidents are federal offenses that are under investigation. Perpetrators could face charges of conspiracy and fraud, which carry maximum penalties of five and 20 years in prison respectively.
"Each time they call, they leave an investigative trail: a piece of evidence," Kolbye said. "It's just a matter of time for us to continue to put all the pieces together and come knocking on their door."

Just started reading it today.
Really liking it so far (from the first 4 chapters), and I'm gonna keep following the releases.
Really like the characters and the
Does also remind me quite a bit of One Piece.
Hoping to see it last some time, as I do like the premise and art style.

The manga is Interesting so far. Dont know what they will do with the story but so far the short adventures are Great! Never wached/Read One Piece though seen pictures around and its similar.

The reason that OP and Fairy Tail art style are similar was because. Hiro Mashima and One Piece's Oda both work as assistants under another mangaka, I can't remeber who, but he in turn used to be Akira Toriyama's assistant. Which explains similar styles. And someone already noted that Hiro also helped out Oda with OP back in it's early chapters. But to be fair, both artists come to their own around the sames time as RAVE and OP both serialize around the same time except OP turns out to be a world-wide mega-hit and is breaking records left and right while RAVE is only a very popular series that really didn't make it over beyond Asian boarder......
There really isn't a main storyline YET, so far concept is simple, It is a story about a Socerors' Guild, and that is what you do in a guild; you hang around with other members, look for a posted job, goes and do the jobs, than collects you money. I personally think this is one the the charm of the series.
Besides there isn't even a villian in the series yet with exeception of the Darkness Guild that Ersa was working on.
SayanMk's spoiler is mis-leading, so far Jiikurein and Ulteia are only revealed as part of the Soceror's Council that hadles all inter-guild affairs. In fact, the council was going to punish Fairy Tail guild for their careless-mistakes but Jiikurein put in good words for them that stating that while FT is a wild bunch, they are also a group with many talented sorcerors in the first chapter.

Currently up to chapter 25, and I have to say I like it. Good characters and story, though it's not really plot driven but it's still enjoyable. Natsu is hilarious, I like his relationship with Erza's best.
However, I just couldn't let these out of my head:
- Natsu - Luffy
- Gray - Zorro
- Loki - Sanji
- Lucy - Nami
- Erza/ the black haired girl - Robin
- Happy - Chopper
- etc,
I mean, when I see Natsu and his attitude, basically I saw Luffy.......
Awesome series nonetheless though.

Erza Scarlet sounds better :P
and Mashima first spelled it as "Erza". (when Mirajane writes her name with the magic pen)
So it's anyone's guess which is the correct spelling since even the mangaka can't be consistent.

Persistenceprevious next
Also: Perseverence, Steadfastness, Tenacity
Persistence means continuing to work toward a goal even when it takes a long time or things get tough. Without persistence, obstacles stop us; with persistence we learn from our failures – we work with them and use them as stepping stones instead of barriers. Persistence allows us to succeed where otherwise we might fail, because much of what matters in life requires sustained efforts and repeated attempts. The greater the accomplishment we seek, the more likely this is to be true.
Persistence in the service of a higher goal calls out many other virtues in us, because in order to persist we have to push ourselves beyond what is comfortable.

Hot code loading
From Openmoko
To change a running system
Start erlang as a node on your host
This is my /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80zhone. As you can see the erlang node's got a name "-name firstname.lastname@example.com" (a running erlang virtual machine is called an erlang node). And it's got a cookie "-setcookie SFEWRG34AFDSGAFG35235". This is all that's needed on the neo.
#!/bin/sh -e #zhone > /tmp/zhone.log 2>&1 & /home/root/cean/start.sh -setcookie SFEWRG34AFDSGAFG35235 -name email@example.com -noshell -pa /home/root/trunk -s main start > debug.txt renice -3 $! exit 0
Every erlang node in your network should have a unique name, and a common cookie. Start an erlang node on your host PC with a unique name and the common cookie:
erl -setcookie SFEWRG34AFDSGAFG35235 -name 'email@example.com'
From your host erlang console try
The response should be 'pong' if you have a successful connection - if not, the response is 'pang'
Then try the shell command
The response should be a list of all known nodes in your network.
HotLoad the code
To carry out Hot Code Loading start a an erlang node on your host and from this erlang shell type
net_adm:ping('firstname.lastname@example.com'). nl(your_modulename).
Substitute your_modulename with the name of the module you want to load into the virtual machine on your neo. The response should be 'abcast' if sucessful. If not the response is 'error'.
The ping command is only necessary the first time to let your host node find your neo node. Don't forget to copy the compiled erlang file to your neo, hot code loading does not copy your beam file to the file system.

DARTMOUTH, Mass. - The MIT men's cross country team earned a sixth-place finish among 37 teams at the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational Saturday. Hemagiri Arumugam was the top overall finisher for the Cardinal and Grey, who totaled 145 points, fourth-best among Division III squads.
Arumugam completed the five-mile course in 25:05, good for seventh overall. Dan Harper was the next best finisher for the Engineers, 30 seconds behind Arumugam, in 30th place. The next three Tech harriers crossed the finish line within three seconds of each other. Jacob Young was the first of that group, coming in 35th at 25:45. Ben Mattocks (25:47) and Bill Phipps (25:48) were next across in 38th and 39th respectively.
Keene State took home the team title with 68 points, easily outscoring second-place Stonehill (96). Glarius Rop (24:05) of American International College was the top overall finisher by almost 35 seconds.

President George Bush recent signed a bill for harder sentencing on phishing/Identity theft.
Phishing is nicely described by McCullagh (the author) in his article, "For lawmakers, identity theft a kettle of phish."
Full Article:The latest innovation in identity fraud typically begins with an unexpected e-mail message from a financial institution proclaiming something like: "Your account information needs to be updated due to inactive members, frauds and spoof reports."
Anyone who clicks on the included hyperlink and types in their personal details is unwittingly connecting not to their own bank, but to a scam artist engaged in the sport of "phishing" for illegally obtained credit card numbers, bank account information, and Social Security numbers.
For lawmakers, identity theft a kettle of phish
That would be nice if this will detour online criminals, however it seems unlikely because criminals will work smarter and find loopholes in the system.

i Cartographic ontology and the ecosophic object.
In Chaosmosis Guattari develops a complex theory of interactions between individuals, groups and pre-personal machinic elements of subjectivation. Here he abandons any notion of a traditional personological account in favour of a radically decentred metamodelisation of the unconscious, where "beneath the diversity of beings […] there is a plane of machinic interfaces" (CH, p.58). Here subjectivity produces itself and is always collective because "the unconscious is above all a social agencement, the collective force of latent utterances. Only secondarily can those utterances be divided into what belongs to you or me." (MR, p.257). Subjectivity then is an emergent property, arising from interactions between four ontological functors (machinic phylums, material fluxes, existential territories, and incorporeal universes of value, containing components which are both virtual and actual, discursive and non-discursive). These distinct ontological domains are traversed and interfaced by entities termed collective assemblages of enunciation, collective in that they "exceed the problematic of the individuated subject", and enunciative in the sense of a process of semiotization (rather than representation or signification reducible to a single subject who enunciates).
Bruno Bosteels has noted that because the schizoanalytic practice of mapping transversal linkages between functors is not one of representation, it acquires an entirely praxical dimension as "a process of autopoiesis rather than mimesis" developing "openings onto the virtual and onto creative processuality." (CH, p.31). In other words it is an absolutely creative act itself. This develops a characteristic from the earlier work, the blurring of the boundary between action and interpretation. If as Guattari claims it is "the map that, somehow, engenders the territory" what of the position of the cartographer themselves? When he returns to discuss the practice at La Borde in Chaosmosis, it is explicit that now "only the network of nuclei of partial enunciation […] could arguably hold the title of institutional analyser […] the psychotherapist […] is only a link in this complex apparatus." (CH, p.71). This erasure of the analyst but the continuation of the analysis, a mapping without a cartographer so to speak, demonstrates the absolutely immanent nature of the ontology Guattari is proposing. By no longer privileging the analyst within the institution or political movement Guattari appears to better conserve the notion of subject groups as genuinely autopoietic. But this also raises a serious question as to the role of the agent, now that the task of creating the conditions for the production of subject groups has shifted into the pre-personal domain of collective assemblages.
Guattari's political concerns also become increasingly transversalised, into a new articulation he terms ecosophy: a transversally linked series of mental, social, and environmental problematics. Here virtual ecology is just as important as the ecology of the actual, the ecology of art forms as significant as the ecology of life forms. In the face of integrated world capitalism, and the threat posed in every ecological register by the technological transformations this has brought with it, (most importantly the serial type of mass media subjectivity) only a praxis which traverses the actual and virtual, the mental, the social and the environmental, will be sufficient to meet the challenge. As posed in Chaosmosis the chief ecological problem is an investment of human desire in production for its own sake. The issue then is how to "change mentalities, [to] reinvent social practices that would give back to humanity […] a sense of responsibility" requiring in turn "a refoundation of political praxis" (CH, pp.119-20). This praxis is to be focussed upon the deconstruction of the market in favour of centring all economic activities on the production of subjectivity.
The role of the group within the new problematic is set out in The Three Ecologies (1989). Guattari is interested in the development of the group desire, acting in opposition to more personological forms of social subjectivation. Instead of a social ecology revolving around the self or the family (key elements of the kind of mass mediatised identity cultivated by integrated world capitalism) we need to encourage "auto-referential subject-groups, which open onto the socius and the cosmos" (3Es, p.39). Such subject groups are formed by collective assemblages of enunciation rather than what Guattari describes as "mechanisms of empty repetition" (3Es, p.40). Guattari identifies two key movements in capitalist subjectivation: on the one hand an ever increasing split between the serial subjectivity of workers, an underclass, and the elite subjectivity of the executive classes. On the other a kind of reterritorialisation of the family to recode old workerist identities with new middle-class ones. To counter these forces social ecology must move into a post-media age, facilitated by the takeover of mass media outlets by subject groups, replacing the homogenous processes of capitalist subjectivation with newly singular, productive, responsible ones. Guattari's concern here is "to institute, in particular, new systems of valorisation" (3Es, p42) rather than a fully worked through model of a new society. Such systems of valorisation would work to inculcate a politics of dissensus, rather than totalisation, a "multifaceted movement" principally concerned with "heterogenesis, […] processes of continual resingularisation" (3Es, pp.44-5).
ii. Transversality: intersubjective relation or intrasubjective self-differentiation?
If in his early work Guattari appeared to accord a privileged role to the analyst, his later conception erases this in favour of an immanent ontology ultimately determined by the activities of machinic pre-personal entities, the collective assemblages of enunciation. In so doing the later work can be identified as being more closely in line with that of his collaborator, Gilles Deleuze. Such systems have drawn criticism of late for conferring on the actor a kind of paralysis, perhaps even erasing the decisive subject altogether. Though Guattari himself is clearly deeply concerned with subjectivation, in the final analysis whilst subject groups are active, they are entirely dependent on pre-personal processes of formation. As he puts it
"it is less by way of voluntary decision than by induction of an unconscious collective assemblage that the psychotic is led to take the initiative, to accept responsibility" (CH, p.70 emphasis my own).
Further, once ontologised and immanentised, Guattari's processural theory of assemblages begins to present a problem for transversality's status as a properly relational operator. Relation might be considered to require that between terms there exist a degree of tension, the condition of real alterity itself, the otherness of this term in relation to that. In Sartre's system, due to his need to maintain the original posit of absolute subjective freedom, this tension is extremely high, and relation (between for-itselves at least) is cautious or even threatening, giving rise to positive characteristics only under the most exceptional of circumstances (i.e.: the group-in-fusion). From a Deleuzean point of view Sartre's alterity is "totally compromised by an-all-too empirical acceptance of the other" or of the other as genuinely other. In Guattari's later system alterity is set at an extremely low tension, given the lack of real autonomy for any of the components in the system (either human individuals or pre-personal machinic assemblages). Guattari does not conceal this, instead explicitly foregrounding the linkage connecting subject to object, focussing on the excluded middle, rather than the specificity of either term in themselves. Transversality allows this foregrounding and much more than merely that. In Chaosmosis it enables Guattari to think the existence of mutant virtual entities, described as
"half-object half-subject [with] neither inside nor outside […] becomings - understood as nuclei of differentiation [which] agglomerate in the same transversal flash the subject and object, the self and the other" (CH, pp.92-3).
At the level of these virtual machines transversality ushers us into a Deleuzean universe wherein relation is a term for the self-differentiation of reality itself. The ontologisation of transversality destroys the very idea of relation between discrete, specific, and autonomous items which are properly other to each other and must be understood precisely as a becoming other not a relation between others, an intra-subjective self-differentiation rather than an inter-subjective operator.

Southmont memories
My father remembers that Southmont had a blacksmith's shop at one time. It was just south of where the post office is now. The blacksmith's name was Frank Tysinger. Dad doesn't recall too many other details, but my imagination is picturing horses getting shoed, a wagon wheel getting fixed and possibly a door hinge being fabricated by hand. Could be that it was a very busy place for many years.

Brent crude oil hit an 11-week high of almost $113 per barrel on Wednesday after the U.S. Congress approved a deal to avert a fiscal crisis, while promising data from top energy consumer China also supported prices.
Continue Reading Below
The United States averted economic calamity when lawmakers approved a deal preventing huge tax hikes and spending cuts that would have pushed the world's largest economy off the ``fiscal cliff'' into recession.
The deal boosted investors' appetite for riskier assets and depressed the dollar against major currencies. A weaker greenback makes dollar-denominated oil more affordable for holders of other currencies.
Brent rose $1.79 to a high of $112.90, its highest since Oct. 19, before easing back to trade around $112.70 by 1430 GMT. Brent averaged more than $111.65 per barrel last year, the highest annual average on record, after geopolitical threats to production offset worries about flagging oil demand. U.S. crude rose $2.05 to a high of $93.87 a barrel, its highest since Sept. 21.
"The U.S. fiscal deal has been very positive for markets, which can now look forward to a better year ahead,'' said Eugen Weinberg, global head of commodities research at Germany's Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
"A combination of U.S. monetary stimulus and Chinese growth should be very positive for commodities in 2013.''
Oil found support from robust Chinese data pointing to a recovery in the world's second-largest economy and second-biggest oil consumer.
China's official manufacturing purchasing managers' index held steady in December at 50.6, adding to evidence that its economy was picking up in the last three months of 2012 after slowing for seven straight quarters. Middle East tensions are likely to help support oil. Iran is carrying out naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz, showcasing its military capability in the shipping route through which 40 percent of the world's sea-borne oil exports pass.
The Islamic Republic has threatened to block Hormuz if it comes under military attack over its disputed nuclear programme. The United States has said it would not tolerate any obstruction of commercial traffic through the strait. But analysts say some oil market fundamentals are bearish.
Oil demand is falling in many parts of the industrialised world, including the United States, and in Europe, the debt crisis is dampening economic activity and energy use.
Purchasing managers' surveys showed on Wednesday a slowdown in euro zone factory activity deepened in December as new orders tumbled, suggesting the economy may have slipped further into recession in the last quarter of 2012. The oil market is well supplied and global inventory levels are high. U.S. oil production, in particular, is increasing more quickly than oil demand is rising in the industrialised world, and the market is being balanced by Middle East producers.
"The firmness of Brent in 2013 will depend very much on the supply policies of Saudi Arabia as it battles the crude oil supply push from the United States,'' Olivier Jakob, Swiss-based energy market consultant, said.
"To defend $100 Brent, Saudi Arabia will have to reduce its crude oil exports to sufficiently offset the new oil coming out of Iraq and of the United States.''

The November 10, 1975 wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is long remembered by residents along the shores of Lake Superior. Visitors to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum learn of the circumstances surrounding the ship's loss and that of her 29 man crew.
A new exhibit, "Edmund Fitzgerald: Snapshots in Time," highlights the years that the Fitzgerald traveled the Great Lakes.
In coordination with the new exhibit, a special event will detail one individual's unique quest to honor the lost crew and keep their memory alive.
Regarding the new exhibit, Shipwreck Museum Executive Director Bruce Lynn observed, "we have a substantial collection of Edmund Fitzgerald images in our archives and we liked the idea of putting them into an exhibit. These photos were all taken by amateur photographers and the vast majority are being seen by the public for the first time."
In addition to the collection of images, a highly detailed 12' long model of the Fitzgerald draws interest and comment. The model is constructed of over 18,000 Lego pieces and took nine years to build.
Historian and High School teacher John R. Beck started the project as a way to educate his students about Great Lakes' shipping history. Ultimately, he and his students studied the ship and saw their research and work as a tribute to the sailors that perished on the Edmund Fitzgerald. Beck's program will highlight his research on the ship, the interest his model has generated and the enduring story of the vessel's untimely loss on Lake Superior.
The program, History and Commemorations for the Edmund Fitzgerald, will take place at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum on Friday, July 19 at 7 p.m.
The exhibit will remain open through October 31.
There is a fee to attend the program. Please call (906) 635-1742, or visit Shipwreckmuseum.com, for more information.
