MONTGOMERY — A lobbyist who pleaded guilty to conspiracy said Monday that a casino developer was willing to pay millions for legislators' votes to reopen his closed gambling house, and the lobbyist relayed the offers to two state senators.
MONTGOMERY — A lobbyist who pleaded guilty to conspiracy said Monday that a casino developer was willing to pay millions for legislators' votes to reopen his closed gambling house, and the lobbyist relayed the offers to two state senators.
Country Crossing lobbyist Jennifer Pouncy started crying several times during her full day of testimony in Alabama's gambling corruption trial.
"I knew it was wrong and illegal," Pouncy told jurors.
Pouncy spent most of the day talking about her efforts to get two defendants — Jim Preuitt of Talladega and Larry Means of Attalla — to vote for pro-gambling legislation while they were serving in the state Senate in 2010.
She said she relayed offers to both. But she said, "Ronnie (Gilley) was the lead person making the commitment."
She said both senators ended up voting for the pro-gambling legislation after not supporting it initially, but Preuitt's attorney argued that his client never engaged in a bribe.
"You never had an expressed agreement with Jim Preuitt for him to do anything in the Legislature?" Ron Wise asked.
"No sir, I did not," Pouncy said.
The casino lobbyist also acknowledged that some of the testimony she gave Monday varied from what she said during the original trial last summer.
"I made a mistake," she said.
Gilley and other gambling interests were pushing a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at protecting electronic bingo games from a state crackdown that forced Gilley's Country Crossing to close in January 2010.
Gambling interests tried to get the Senate to begin debate on the bill on March 3, 2010, but fell three votes short. Preuitt voted against considering the bill and Means did not vote.
She said Gilley became desperate to get his casino reopened, and her boss, Country Crossing lobbyist Jarrod Massey, told her to offer Preuitt $2 million in campaign contributions, which were to come from Gilley.
She said Preuitt voted against the bill because teacher lobbyist Paul Hubbert was supporting it and he thought Hubbert was putting up $2 million to help Preuitt's opponent in the 2010 legislative elections.
Pouncy, 35, said she met with the 76-year-old senator in his Statehouse office to make the offer.
"When I went to offer the $2 million, it was to get his vote," she testified.
Asked by prosecutor Edward Kang what Preuitt did, she said, "He didn't say anything. He just looked at me and changed the subject," she said.
She said another defendant, Country Crossing spokesman Jay Walker, met privately with Preuitt on March 23, 2010, to try to get his vote by offering campaign help, including free polling and a concert by country music entertainers. She said Walker told her after the meeting that, "Senator Preuitt didn't commit to anything."
After meeting Walker, she said Preuitt asked her, "If this bill does not pass the House, will the commitment still stand?" Pouncy said she checked with Massey and told Preuitt the commitment would stand.
"He said, 'OK, we'll talk later,"' she testified.
On March 30, 2010, he told her that he had decided to support the bill and then walked in to the Senate chamber, where he helped it pass, she said.
The FBI disclosed its investigation of gambling corruption two days later and the bill died in the House. Gilley and Massey later pleaded guilty and are helping the prosecution.
Pouncy testified that Means told her on March 24, 2010, that he faced a tough opponent. "He asked me to find out if I could get $100,000 from my group," she said.
"It was my understanding he wanted the $100,000 in exchange for his vote," she said.
She said she checked with Massey, and Massey said their group would provide it. She relayed the message to the 64-year-old senator, who then voted yes.
Defense attorneys contend the two senators changed their minds because the gambling legislation was rewritten extensively between the two votes and that they did nothing illegal.
Preuitt dropped his re-election campaign after coming under investigation, and Means was defeated. Neither got the campaign contributions that Pouncy described, she testified.
Gilley's casino reopened in July 2011 with new operators, a new type of electronic gambling machine and a new name, Center Stage.

Let me share with you one of the best-kept secrets about the Garden City Santa Claus – the man who has been portraying Santa since 1978, when he first donned the Santa suit as a senior in high school while working at McDonald's.
Although I cannot reveal his true identity, he does hail from Warwick and is now celebrating 25 years of being Santa Claus in Garden City Center.
Once Santa agreed to the role in high school, he spent time at a special workshop that covered make up, movements and everything else that went along with the red suit. After spending just one afternoon in a toy store, he was confident that he was ready.
Since then, the Warwick resident was hooked. After his first appearance, he did many visits to family and friends' houses unannounced, only to be asked, "Who are you?" To tell you who he is would spoil the magic he brings to so many, in Garden City and throughout Rhode Island.
"Year after year, I did more and more visits to schools, hospitals, nursing homes and anyone else who needed to be cheered up or help find that special feeling that comes once a year," said Santa.
Throughout this time, he would hear stories – some happy, some sad, some good, some bad – and knew he could do more.
He settled down in the early 1980s and received the nicest red suit as an early Christmas present from Mrs. Claus, his wife.
He would ask different agencies and call on friends for donations, and make appearances with the stipulation they would make a donation of what was needed to grant the wish of the child or family. Bikes, dolls, games, footballs, skateboards, guitars – you name it, he got it delivered, with a lot of help from his secret Santa specialists.
As the word got out more and more, requests continued to come in, and he would do as much as possible to help.
There was, for example, a family of eight who had fallen on hard times. He said, "Just get me the children's wishes on a list," and the night before Christmas, he delivered all the presents on the list and gifts for the parents as well.
"One year in Cranston, a request came for help for the families who were caught right before the holiday by flood waters. The 12 families needed help, and they got it and more," said Santa. It did not matter whom, what or where – Santa was there.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, sundaes – it did not matter if he could help them reach their goal. At times, if they fell a little short, he would reach into his pocket and make up the difference if he could. He not only portrays Santa; he is Santa in so many ways, as he continues to provide smiles, joy, the magic of Christmas and assistance to the community.
When Santa started his family, things got very tricky around the holidays. Yet his two young daughters and his wife, Mrs. Claus, would attend parties, functions and family gatherings that this man would be at, and they would visit and have their pictures taken with him.
"This went on for years," said Santa. "And my children always questioned, 'How come dad never comes to these parties?' Mrs. Claus would say, 'Your dad is working and works very hard to provide for all of us.'"
This ruse went on for 11 years, explained Santa.
When the call came his way that Garden City needed his services, he answered. He has visited there for the last 25 years, seeing old and new friends.
"The greatest location and people you would ever want to be associated with are at Garden City Center," said Santa. "There are a great deal of nice changes going on there, [including] new stores and not to mention my new cabin.
"Speaking of changes, parents who brought their children to visit are now grandparents. The children are now parents. Somebody is getting old," Santa added with a chuckle.
As his children got older, they would join he and his wife as elves to make his appearances very special and full of love and laughter. Throughout the years, he has arrived at many locations throughout the state by boat, fire truck, helicopter, motorcycles, limo and horse-drawn wagon, as in his most recent arrival in Garden City this past Nov. 30.
"Charities are a big part of my life," said Santa. "Thousands of dollars have been raised for the Santa Fund, ALS, American Cancer Society, Make-A-Wish, Hospice of RI, A Wish Come True, RI Food Bank and many others. Thousands of toys have been delivered to the needy, and many a cookie has been eaten after the delivery."
So the question still remains: Who is this man from Warwick? The answer is simple. He is your husband, father, brother, son, brother-in-law, friend, the guy next door or down the street, uncle, son-in-law, coach and boss. He is the magic of Christmas, and continues to share the magic with children of all ages.
Yes, our readers, there is a Santa Claus.

Slax author's Blog (RSS)
Questionnaire results
After getting over 1250 responses to the Questionnaire published month ago, I should be able to make some conclusions. I'll describe them here.
1. Slax language translations
More than 65% of users prefer to use Slax in English only. Some users reported they voted for non-english support only because of their need to use non-US keyboard layout, which seems reasonable. So as a conclusion, taking into consideration the fact that creating and distributing 40 language mutations is a headache, I've decided that if there is a new Slax release, it will support non-US keyboard layouts, but will not provide localized translations - those should be available only as modules.
2. Slax base - keeping Slackware?
Almost 84% of all respondents do not care if Slax is based on Slackware. This means that I can do practically anything when selecting the base for Slax. To be honest I didn't decide yet if I want to switch. The problem with Slackware is that there is no way to get extra software easily. I am considering Debian and Gentoo at the moment.
3. Slax size
Only 5% of users prefer Slax to keep <200MB size. And 63% of users can accept size over 500MB. So I think targetting to ~500MB or ~700MB (to fit a regular CD) may be the best decision. I think 700MB is not such a deal nowadays. If I can put more data on file, it will mean less work for me optimizing the size.
4. Graphical desktop
Only 4% of Slax users prefer console-only OS, so graphical desktop will remain included. Only 10% of users would appreciate Gnome3. The rest of users is divided almost equally to three groups, one requesting very lightweight desktop like OpenBox, another one liking KDE, and third one appreciating desktop like XFCE. This basically mean that whatever I do, I'll piss of most users :) and it also means I can do whatever I like :) I did not decide yet. So I think that I'll select something lightweight which looks like KDE :)
5. Slax Architecture
Keeping Slax in several architectures is lots of work. I suggested a solution in one of the previous blog posts, I was thinking about the possibility to include both 32bit and 64bit kernels (appropriate kernel would load automatically) while providing only 32bit userspace binaries. This looks to me like the easiest way to make Slax working on all x86 architectures without any drawbacks. So for now I like this idea.
6. Applications in Slax and Download Format
Those questions were mostly informative for me, so I could see what's most important for users.
7. Modules
Modules are core of Slax. Only 17% of users do not care about modules, other users need them, either to create their own stuff or to (at least) download stuff built by others. I think the number would decrease if Slax was built on, say, Debian, since people could apt-get instead of downloading modules from the repository. In all cases, I see I have to keep the modularity.
User comments
I'm using default EN version of slax. When I need to use bulgarian layout just typing this command:
setxkbmap -layout us,bg,bg -variant ,phonetic,bds -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
Only KDE preventing this to take effect, but there is another layout manager
I would strongly recommending rebasing on Debian (maybe Unstable, because then you can get up-to-date packages and work on stabilising it yourself, or use Stable but try to get Slax released based on Stable ASAP after Stable is released, Stable usually uses packages which are rather old by the time it's released). However, people want up-to-date front-end applications, you could adopt Ubuntu's Snap system for this (which I think is the only long-term solution to the rolling release vs cadence release conundrum), but it's not really ready yet and maybe a simpler system would be to try and make regular, but stable, releases and perhaps provide newer front-end applications as backports to older releases (but as an optional repository) but you (with the community) would need to test these backports first to make sure they work well with an older back-end system.
Anyway, I imagine that this will be a lot of work, so I don't envy you for it, but a Debian-based distribution which runs fully off USB sticks (and CDs) would be absolutely awesome.
As an Ubuntu user, I personally think that it would be even more awesome if you simply made an Ubuntu flavour which ran off USB sticks with persistent changes (so that if you installed an application onto the USB stick it would remain), which I don't think the LiveCD image currently does? And you'll want to do your optimization to cut down the image size. Then you could try to get official flavour status and get on their website, but just basing on Debian would work great too.
Any cinnamon fans around?
It is both eye catching and yet lightweight.
> Slax Architecture
You can try to create dual architecture image, which contains one side with 32bit kernel and apps, and another side with 64bit kernel and apps.
That's made in ArchLinux install image.
And I recommend Arch Linux, because it gets packages up-to-date, pretty stable even if it Rolling Release, have fast package manager (pacman) and don't require much resources.
I loved SLAX. The zip image was a blessing. I`m so fed up with fighting with other distro iso. They sometimes work, sometimes not.
I only wished there would be more modules of common software and drivers. With the modules everything worked great. With the debian apt-get it rarely ended with just entering one line of command. And you needed to know what to enter so installing software always began with searching the web for the right command. And usually the command listed is for a different version and will not work for your. Its chaos. I like the modules.
And the system was really fast. Like just working instead of loading and configuring.
So i`d say keep it the way it is and add more modules!!
As much as I like .deb, apt-get might not fit well into the slax' modules picture. Think dependencies and lib point-point-versions.
Flatpak, as a done-right alternative to Ubuntus snappy, could be a good way for up-to-date software over a nice, configurable slack base.
I don't need a lot of programs as long as you can what you want. I like Mate over Gnome. I need it to support wireless, bluetooth and printer. And as long it stay under 300Mb
Hi Tomas, I'm glad you're looking to revive slax.
What do you think about Appimage for the modules? Instead of creating a specific modules framework for slax just point to the appimages repository and all users can contribute or make an slax specific with apps proven to work in slax http://appimage.org/
Debian stores its package database in /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status, so for every module it would be needed concatenate these files from modules. Gentoo based Slax could be quite interesting.
Make method slax modules this type:
salix-slapt-get script must do
*- automatic download txz and repair dependencies
*- convert to *.sb modules
graphical front end have to >
*- use slackware mirrors around the world
Installation will be on harddisk as main system in RAM
(Sorry for offtopic). Is it possible to upgrade linux kernel in SLAX 7.0.8? Now the version of kernel is 3.8.2 and I need to install kernel 3.10.102 or later. I successfully compiled and installed linux kernel 4.6.4, but SLAX didn't start with it. My questions - is it possible to upgrade linux kernel in SLAX, and how to do it? Thank you.
@Maxim SLAX is very good, and it is simple to update kenel.I have updated kernel 3.8.2 to 4.1.22. You can update it with linux-live as follwing.
1.compile kernel 4.1.22 with .config(kernel 3.8.2)
2.make initramfs with script initramfs_create
3.replace initramfs with new initramfs in ISO.
Good luck to you!
Another Question: can overlayfs replace AUFS in SLAX? In my opinion, overlayfs is smaller and simpler than AUFS.Maybe we should try it?
@boslad Thank you. There were 5 stages:
1. to compile kernel 4.1.27 with "make O=/usr/src/linux-4.1.27 oldconfig" (using .config from kernel-devel 3.8.2) and "make O=/usr/src/linux-4.1.27"
2. to copy new kernel vmlinuz in /boot (or to rename bzimage in vmlinuz and to copy vmlinuz in /boot)
3. to start initramfs_create (I had an error there - "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file", but initramfs was created in /tmp)
4. to boot other linux system, to copy new vmlinuz in /slax/boot and to start bootinst.sh
5. to start SLAX. SLAX bootes with errors and stops. There are some errors (not all):
Setting dynamic RAM compression using ZRAM
sh: can't open '/sys/block/zram0/disksize': No such file or directory
mkswap: can't open '/dev/zram0': No such file or directory
swapon: can't open '/dev/zram0': No such file or directory
Looking for slax data in /slax
Then SLAX tries to add 01-core.sb and stops. Something wrong.
@Maxim Sorry, I should have rememberd to remind you to modify the file initramfs_create.You know the kernel tree in 3.8.2 is different form 4.1.X. You can modify it as following:
line 71: copy_including_deps /$LMK/kernel/mm # needed by zram
line 72: copy_including_deps /$LMK/kernel/drivers/block/zram
@boslad I just modified line 71 & line 72 but the errors were still the same. For example:
setting up union using AUFS 3
mount : mounting aufs on /memory/union failed: No such device
Adding bundles to union
mount: can't setup loop device: No space left on device
mount: mounting aufs on /memory/union failed: Invalid argument
1. is possible to add esperanto version?
meybe tatoeba help this and other language.
translate to rare language meybe will be a good idea to popularity distro
2. where i can add translation web page?
Came by to check for updates and filled out the questionnaire. If you haven't tried Slackware 14.2, you may want to download/install before you make a decision on Slackware being too out-of-date for the average user. Pat and the rest of the Slackware crew have done an excellent job keeping it up-to-date, especially if you're used to stock Debian or CentOS installs.
I would think that the long-term stability of Slackware's base, combined with automated SlackBuilds, would make maintenance a little easier on keeping a derivative distro up and going, but then again I don't manage custom distros for general public consumption. I/my company does use Slackware as a base for custom embedded distros, and we chose it for the aforementioned reasons.
I personally like the small size of Slax, even though I usually use it on memory sticks rather than mini-CDs nowadays.
Could you please add a WHDD in modules?
@ Константин Назаров
"They have slackware support already so it should be doable."
Just down load the slackware.tgz
Then open a terminal where you save the tgz
tgz2sb whdd-2.1-i486-1rzk.tgz whdd-2.1-i486-1rzk.sb
Wait until it's done and don't close the terminal prematurely.
The most powerful part of Slax is it's modular configurability. That allows it to be small.
If you are going to go 500 - 700MB, I have 300 distros to choose from and I won't choose Slax because at that size I can just use Debian, Genoo, Arch or one of their derivatives.
If you can keep it small (<200MB) it is still the best of only 10.
Helou Tomáši,
už jsem tu dlouho nebyl, ale ta angličtina mě vždy odradí. Nemohl bys těch pár řádků napsat také v češtině? Doufám, že umíš česky! :-) Pokud né, tak si to budeš muset přeložit. Jenže strojový překlad není to pravé ořechové.
Možná když nechceš psát česky, tak bys třeba mohl Slovensky. Nebo nějakým českomoravským nářečím. Pěkné by to bylo třeba Hanácky. Toš, co? Babička byla z Hané dělala perfektní hanácké koláče, které se mohli jíst i druhý den. Byly pak dokonce vláčnější, jelikož uvnitř byl tvaroh.
Jinak to je velmi pěkný prográmek.
I keep waiting for the new update because KDE plasma is really terrible :( It is very unstable, always changes an elements that cause total destructon of my nerves. But in other lines this distro is perfect! Thank you, Tomas!
Hello everyone my name is ale and I am new in slax .
I bluethoot an external device I connected it to the computer using the " lsusb " command is visible
I downloaded with a control terminal " slax activate bluez " but I have no way to interact with the software ..
I do not see icon
I would like to connect my bluethoot headset to listen to music
thanks and congratulations for the work
KaOS can change your view about Plasma 5.
Hello Tomas, First of all, Thanks a lot for this fantastic linux.
1. Can we download modules as ftp? Currently it is manual work for selection so takes long time to download modules what I want.
2. If you are in making next version Slax, would you please support 32bit UEFI booting because many win 8 tablet with baytrail process cannot use or so difficult to use linux.
Please help me and them to use linux as Slax.
SLAX is my go to live distribution, because it is based on Slackware, where I feel at home. Slackware is special for its up to date vanilla packages (instead of broken ancient ones with non-trustworthy patches), while adhering strictly to the KISS and no-BS principle (which also means avoiding participating in the holy war of free software licenses, so useful stuff like cdrtools is still available instead of broken replacements).
Another plus is CLI-only option and the very easy customization. It's also small enough to be booted using PXE, where size still matters (TFTP is not that fast and every unneeded MB adds to the boot time).
LXQT is a good option for a light kde-like desktop environment, and Arch a good system to start.
Can you provide checksum for the slax iso files or some other way to verify it?
Overall, Slax is very good. I'm having a good time with it. I just have 2 small problems:
1) I really need to have a choice at boot time for VESA video mode ()like Slax 6 had), for my ancient Dell C840 laptop.
2) Support for printing through the network to my Canon MG2520 printer, which is attached to my wife's machine
I don't really expect that anything much can be done about my printer issue, but, VESA video at startup should be fairly easy for someone who knows how to package an operating system :)
Thank You !!!
I started to use slax from slax 6
I've read your announcement, I'd like to have some opinions
1. Slax language translations :
I agree with you, IT community prefers using English to their native language.
2. Slax base - keeping Slackware? :
I think you have got right reason to switch to Debian or Ubuntu ect ... I personally prefer Slackware and hate these apt-get. I just need to plug the module into the file system and it runs well. It's the way of Slackware and Slax, we know what we do clearly, there isn't any place for bloating or oversize system
3. Slax size:
Yeah, it's great when it's small, it will become a normal and less attractive distro when it grows up, there are too many oversized live linux distro out there, I hope that you don't really want to joint them. like drowning in the sea
7. Modules
I think we shouldn't use apt-get style it look silly

It'd be great if you added checksum files for each download
Thank you for registering me on your website. As you ask me to send you a feedback message I have the great pleasure in informing you that I have been using Slax for over a year and I find it a best system. It has many wonderful KDE features all built in a very small system that can be used with all necessary modules in less than 1 GB. My old Dell PC and Asus Laptop are limited in space so Slax is a wonderful companion. I congratulate for doing an excellent work in devising the modules and making them available for free. I think all operating systems should be small and under 300mb. They should enable users to select and install their own software according to their profession and recreational use.
The last version of SLAX I tried was 6.1.2 and it worked on the computers that booted it. Recently, I found your newest version 7.0.8 and tried it on 2 laptops (older one runs Windows Vista, newer one runs Windows 7). It hanged on both -- just a mouse-pointer on a black screen (after the turning-gear graphic). Pressing the power button made the line of text come back on screen for shutdown. Just above the forced shutdown text was this from the boot-up:
Setting default ALSA mixer settings
amixer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libasound.so.2: cannot read file data: Input / output error
Any idea what happened?
Never mind. After testing earlier versions, which all worked, I re-downloaded this latest version and it worked without error. Must've been a download glitch (which I always thought was impossible) or a CD-burn glitch (I always verify so that should be impossible).
If you abandon Slackware, I will not use Slax. I will absolutely not use systemd.
If you use Debian or Gentoo, make sure you rename your project so distrowatch can call Slax dead.
slpkg (slackbuilds.org) is a VERY easy way to install software on Slackware. If it were straightforward for a developer to use that, and build a Slax module, then I would build the modules for, and support all the software I use.
Maybe some modules will be default for Slax (openbox, spacefm, geany, claws-mail, keepassx, btrfs, ecryptfs), making it easier for you to develop the rest of Slax.
I'm very glad to use slax, but I want some development instruments such as ruby, ror, sublime and etc. Solving it problem is assembly my own module from slackware package. Any ideas will be avaliabilities to execute programms directly after extracting from archive? Deb-based slax is very good idea, but will be slax so faster as now?
PS. KDE 4.10 is forever but it's imho
Guilherme Mendes the problem with AppImage is that you can't add a repository to update automatically from (yet). As a Snappy advocate I'm much more open to using Flatpak than to using AppImage.
Maxim Kurnosenko no, not Arch. You may find it stable because you know how to fix things when things break, but it's just not possible to get the same stability (read: doesn't break leaving newbies clueless as to what to do to fix their system) without cadence testing. Better to have some sort of stable core (any non-rolling distribution) and then have a format that allows applications to update on top of that, bundling its own dependencies if necessary - like Snappy or Flatpak.
Maybe new SLAX will be modern and effective operating system. But what's about this SLAX, I mean 7.0.8? It's really dead? :( I like this OS and I think (and hope) I'm not alone. The sad truth is in fact that core of SLAX is not so new as we want to see. That's why I propose to reanimate it and start with it's kernel's update.
So, my question is: maybe someone knows how to update kernel in SLAX (please, explain how to do it!) or want to upload compiled files from "boot" directory with kernel 4?
I really love slax because of its small size and usb portable. I use it for many years from slax 6 to slax 7. However, I met more and more problems during change of hardware including wireless mouse not responding, no display for TV... Some problems was solved on a specific version with another problem found. As a normal user I am, it is hardly to rely on Slax for productivity application.
I'm dancing with joy because my favourite linux distro is going to be updated. I can't express how glad I'm to see its newer look. When I switched from windows to linux, Slax was the first distro I met with. After that, I met others too but Slax was the best for me. #Lightweight #Faster #Every essential package #Such a good Graphics #portable #The installation and management of the packages are very feasiable.
But, all other distros had updates (the latest required packages).
Now, I can't just wait more to see the new slax.
I'm really exited. My favourite linux distro is being update. Fast....Fast.....Fast... I wanna see smart slax with new tools.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding the size target that cd size target is so pase'! And old. And irrelevant so on ... Who will use today, anno 2017, cd and dvd units to read real cd for linux live sessions when we can use usb flash pendisk which is much more speedy and with generous size!? Size can be a concern only for server bandwidth usage today of the hosting solution used by slax distro not the target medium of live slax iso.
I think that the target for slax physical environment storage should be usb flash with as much loaded in memory for fast execution not the old cd/dvd mediums. Persistence should be easy achieved using more that one partition on usb flash, one for initial system, read-only, and another distinct partition for user documents and slax modules. With cheap usb flash pendisk a simple 1gb/7gb partition schema can be a good solution
Good morning .
I found "Slax" recently and I like it very much , except that I couldn't find a way how to install it onto my HDD , anyone keen to help me with that problem , please ?
Many thanks in advance :)

When news of Contador's positive for clenbuterol initially broke, I expressed my surprise and dismay, and also incredulity that the Spaniard would dope with clen during the Tour de France. I accepted that there could be validity to his claim of food contamination, but refrained from suggesting a second possible scenario, the introduction of clenbuterol into his body via a contaminated transfusion. I stick by my initial statement that clenbuterol is a horrible drug and one that you would never use during the Tour - but I want to reiterate that I accept it's absolutely plausible that an athlete would dope with clen while not racing in hopes of slimming down to unnatural levels before a major competition - though in that case clen is only one of several substances that would have to be combined in a veritable weight-loss cocktail (thyroid hormone being one, and perhaps a sleep-aid like Stilnox being another).
I still don't believe that Contador doped with clenbuterol during the Tour de France, and I hope that he can answer the five questions we previously identified here, and explain satisfactorily how the drug entered his body. Unfortunately, that seems less-likely now with this allegation coming from an unnamed source close to the Astana team, as reported by VeloNation:
"Belgian magazine Humo has published claims from an individual with the Astana team, who alleges that Alberto Contador used Clenbuterol after the Criterium du Dauphiné as part of a weight-loss treatment. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claims that the Spaniard had blood extracted between that race and the Tour when, crucially, traces of the banned product were still in his system.
"He had a transfusion performance after the Dauphiné Libéré [Criterium du Dauphiné], and the blood still contained a little bit of clenbuterol from a just-finished slimming treatment," Humo reported the insider as saying.
"In the Dauphiné Libéré, Contador was still a little overweight. Ordinary people do not see that, but there was still a pound or two to shed. Clenbuterol is used to get rid of the last kilos while, at the same time, to ensure that you do not lose muscle mass - or, in the best case, even gain a little extra muscle mass."
He described how the technique works, saying that the substance is used in combination with another
"You have to use it in combination with T3 [Triiodothyronine]. This is a thyroid hormone that helps in the digestion of fats. Then you have more rapid effect with a smaller dose of Clen. And the smaller the dose, the smaller the chance that you get caught."
Contador finished second overall in the Dauphiné, but appeared to be below his usual strength there. He was beaten by an impressive Janez Brajkovic (Team RadioShack), who finished 1'41 ahead at the end of the event. Contador was only sixth behind Brajkovic in the time trial and was unable to drop his rival on the crucial stage to Alpe d'Huez, although he won the sprint to the line..."
And as an aside, in the same report the anonymous source claimed that doping via transfusions continues as before, much like Bernhard Kohl alleged, when he said it was not possible to win the Tour de France if doping was still endemic. VeloNation continues:
"The biological passport is being used as a deterrent to prevent riders from doping. While it has made it more difficult to beat the system, the Astana source told the magazine that some riders continue to manipulate things at a lesser level.
"Of course," he said, when asked if transfusions continue. "But it's in small doses of 150cc. Previously, riders during the Tour used two, three big bags of blood, from 400 to 500 cc. Now they cannot afford to, because of the biological passport and the sudden fluctuations in blood levels that occur."
Sigh. I love this sport, I really do, and I'm sorry for my role in perpetuating the doping problem, but darn, if it's proven that Contador doped (and by proven, I mean there's a CAS ruling that closes the door on any appeals), then maybe that will be the nail in the coffin that will get me out of this trance and help me see the world through lenses other than a cyclist's Oakleys.

Probably not too many people notice the plaque just to the left, inside the door of the Costa Mesa Donald Dungan library.
It reads: "This Orange County Branch Library is dedicated to the memory of Judge Donald Dungan, an avid reader and a dedicated activist in the incorporation of Costa Mesa, who throughout the years volunteered his time and personal skills to enrich the lives of those around him. It is our desire that this facility will forever stand as a memorial to an outstanding individual and friend."
While the city celebrates its 60th anniversary of incorporation this year, it is good to remember some of those who helped make it happen.
We finally have the dates that the Donald Dungan Library will be closed for roof repair: April 1 (this is not an April Fool's joke) to July 5. Of course, you will be able to return any books you have checked out from this library to any of the other Orange County Public Library branches, including Mesa Verde, Costa Mesa Technical, Fountain Valley, Irvine's three libraries, Tustin and more.
However, if you wish to apply for a passport, you will not be able to do that at any other library in the OCPL system. Therefore, you might consider applying before the library closes April 1. Remember, monies earned from this service and the Friends passport photo service help to support our Costa Mesa libraries.
But for now, there is still a lot going on at this library for you and your children to enjoy.
Look for a book sale to be held at the Donald Dungan Library toward the end of March.
At 2 p.m. every Thursday (the next two are Feb. 28 and March 7) there is a bilingual storytime geared toward preschoolers and elementary school-aged children. This free storytime is conducted in both English and Spanish. After the 20-minute storytime, children have time to play together. Children and their caregivers are encouraged to attend.
Toddler Storytime will meet at 11 a.m. Feb. 25 and March 4 for stories, songs, crafts, coloring sheets and "toy-time."
The Costa Mesa Mystery Book Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 to discuss J.A. Jance's book, "Sentenced to Die."
The Costa Mesa Book Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. March 4 and will discuss "The Old Curiosity Shop" by Charles Dickens. For more information, call the library at (949) 646-8845 and ask for Samantha.
At the Mesa Verde Library
The book discussion group hosted by the Friends of the Costa Mesa Libraries will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 25. This month's book selection is "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The group meets in the Friends bookstore behind the library.
During the month of March, special books on St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Passover and Ireland will be for sale in the display case just inside the door. These are a small sampling of books from the bookstore, which is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
Preschool Storytime and Crafts meets at 11 a.m. every Tuesday for children ages 3 to 5.
All ages of children are invited to Lego Afternoon, at 3:30 p.m. Wednesdays. Everyone gets a chance to show off their building skills. The library provides the Legos, and all Lego creations will be displayed in the library for a week.
Sign up for e-reader, e-book and tablet instruction and learn how to download free e-books from the OCPL website. Receive basic instruction on using iPads, Kindles, and other e-reader or tablet devices.
Classes are at 9:15 a.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. There is also a class at 2:15 p.m. that is by appointment only. Call (714) 546-5274 to make an appointment.
Users of iPads will need to know their iTunes usernames and passwords to download apps. Other tablet users will need to know their device's app store username and password as well. Kindle users will need to know their Amazon account username and password.
The Friends of the Costa Mesa Libraries is looking for a few good men — or women — to fill positions on committees. Call Bob Ooten at (714) 545-9613 for details.
MARY ELLEN GODDARD produces this column on behalf of the Friends of Costa Mesa Libraries, the Costa Mesa Library Foundation and the three Costa Mesa branches of the Orange County Public Libraries.

in the result screen with a number after the name, e.g. Bowling (62). This indicates
that the name Bowling is in our database and that 62 people with that surname (or
a derivative) have already ordered a DNA sample tested. It is possible that not
all 62 Bowlings have been added yet to our Recent Ancestral Origins (RAO) Database
as we may be awaiting the analysis from the Lab for some of them.
A link will be provided for you to order a genetic test below the result screen.
If the surname you desire is not located in our database, you will receive a message
entitled "Name not found," and a form will be provided below the message to enable
you to order a test kit for that surname.
Posting and updating to our database is instant. After you have registered your
surname, you can search again to find the name in the updated database. Happy relative

Actor Ryan Gosling has written an open letter urging officials in his native Canada to improve conditions for caged breeding pigs.
The star has teamed up with the Farm Sanctuary and Humane Society International/Canada to highlight the plight of female animals that are often kept in metal cages during pregnancy.
Gosling has heaped praise on officials at Canada's National Farm Animal Care Council, which oversees codes of practice and care for farm animals in the country, for their work improving conditions, but he wants to see more being done to help the pigs.
In a piece for Canada's Globe and Mail, he writes, "Currently, mother pigs are kept in these cages called 'gestation crates' for four months while pregnant, moved to another cage to give birth, re-impregnated and put back into a gestation crate for the cycle to repeat. It adds up to years of immobilization and millions of smart, inquisitive animals relegated to iron maidens.
"The process has been criticized by veterinarians, animal protection advocates, consumers and even major food retailers as inhumane and unnecessary. While NFACC's progress is important and laudable, there is a major loophole in the code that I hope will be closed.
"As written, the draft still allows the pork industry to lock pigs in gestation crates for up to five weeks at a time. Over a pig's short life, which is just four years long, this amounts to about nine months of solitary confinement in a cage so small she can't even turn her own body around."

The Wellcome Trust
Bethesda, Md., Mon., Oct. 8, 2012 — African scientists will conduct genomic research on kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, tuberculosis and African sleeping sickness through inaugural grants of the Human Heredity and Health in Africa Consortium (H3Africa). The grants were announced by the two funding organizations, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Wellcome Trust, a global charity based in London. The organizations also awarded grants for the development of an African bioinformatics network and two pilot biorepositories, which are banks that maintain biospecimens for future scientific investigation.
The U.S. and British organizations are working together on the H3Africa project, which aims to improve the health of Africans through the study of genomics and environmental determinants of common diseases. The H3Africa initiative will help develop expertise among African scientists, foster increased collaboration among African investigators, enhance the infrastructure for genomics research in Africa, and contribute to the training of the next generation of African researchers in the use of contemporary genomic approaches in the study of important health problems.
"H3Africa aims to transform the way science is conducted in Africa, by creating a sustainable research infrastructure and catalyzing the use of advanced genomic technologies to improve our understanding of a variety of diseases," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "This is particularly relevant because Africa is the original cradle of all humanity, and in this era of expanded global travel and communication, it is becoming increasingly clear that we must think beyond our borders when it comes to understanding human biology and improving health."
NIH has committed $25 million of grant support over five years, contingent on the availability of funds, and Wellcome Trust has committed almost $13 million over five years. More than half of NIH's fiscal year 2013 contribution to H3Africa comes from the NIH Common Fund, a program created to support multi-disciplinary programs across NIH. H3Africa is also supported by several institutes and centers at NIH, including the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the NIH Office of AIDS Research, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and NIH's Fogarty International Center.
"With support from these H3Africa grants, the African scientific community will be empowered to make key breakthroughs on a set of important diseases," said Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI director. "These grants will facilitate creation of the necessary infrastructure and research capacity to conduct cutting edge science in African institutions. The genomic and clinical resources generated by H3Africa investigators will facilitate studies of the environmental, cultural and genetic determinants of diseases that are important to Africans and other human populations." NHGRI administers H3Africa on behalf of NIH.
Sir Mark Walport, director of the Wellcome Trust, said, "If we are to help tackle the growing burden of disease in Africa, it is important that we build capacity within the continent for African researchers and their institutions in order to understand the genetic and environmental causes of illness. The geographical breadth of participating institutions shows that H3Africa is about doing just this, enabling the scientists themselves to drive forward the African research agenda."
"H3Africa is certain to have profound and lasting effects on the landscape of genomics research in Africa," said Charles N. Rotimi, Ph.D., director of the trans-NIH Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health. "This program will enable African researchers to study African populations, to solve African problems and to train the next generation of African scientists."
The inaugural H3Africa projects were announced at a meeting of the principal investigators, representing 22 African countries, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The only inmate convicted of murder following the 1971 Attica prison uprising has died in Canada, where he had made a name as a civil rights and peace activist.
The body of John Boncore, 61, was found March 13 in his home on the Adams Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia, Barb McLintock of the Coroners Service of British Columbia said Monday.
He reportedly had fallen earlier nearby, she said, but the cause of death has yet to be released because the investigation is ongoing.
"There is nothing to suggest foul play," she said.
Boncore, a Mohawk Indian who was born in Buffalo, was known as John B. Hill at Attica when inmates took control of the maximum-security prison in rural western New York. Thirty-two inmates and 11 civilian employees died during the five-day siege, including 10 hostages and 29 inmates who died when state troopers stormed the prison's D Yard on Sept. 13, 1971.
In 1975, a state Supreme Court jury in Buffalo convicted Boncore of murder in the beating death of Corrections Officer William Quinn. He was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison.
Boncore, who had denied attacking Quinn with a two-by-four as alleged, was pardoned in 1976 by then-Gov. Hugh Carey, who also pardoned seven other inmates convicted of crimes during the riot and dismissed pending disciplinary actions against 20 law enforcement officers.
Following his release from prison, Boncore became active in several causes and eventually moved to Canada, Sharon Fischer, an activist and legal assistant from the City of Tonawanda, outside Buffalo, told The Buffalo News.
Boncore was arrested on a charge of obstructing a peace officer in March 2009 in Calgary, Alberta, after trying to make a "citizen's arrest" of former President George W. Bush for alleged war crimes. A provincial court judge granted him a conditional discharge a year later, the Calgary Sun reported at the time.

The Holocaust and Genocide Educator Awards

Political science is the systematic study of governmental and political structures, processes, and policies. This study uses institutional, quantitative, and philosophical approaches. The field is highly diverse, ranging across political theory, comparative government, international relations, American government, public policy, and research methods. Political scientists concentrate on public opinion and voting, organized political behavior, governmental institutions, studies of single countries, comparisons across countries and relations among countries. The field addresses both normative and empirical concerns.

Waitlist Policy for the Political Science Department
Students are strongly encouraged to use the waitlist for any closed Political Science course. Students should register on the waitlist according to their preferred section AND attend the first class. Overrides will be issued automatically, in waitlist order (unless a professor asks for a different process in a particular course) up to the first day of class by the department as space becomes available. Students are notified by e-mail and given three days to use the override; the seat may go to an alternate student on the waitlist if the override is allowed to expire. Students should remember that for cross-listed courses, their waitlist position as seen on Wolverine Access is relative to the unit under which they are enrolled. Unused overrides may result in the student being removed from the waitlist completely. No overrides will be issued automatically after the first day of classes. Students (waitlisted or not) must attend the first class and obtain an override from the instructor or GSI.
