Okla. Considers Using Vet Drug To Execute Inmate
Oklahoma is moving forward with plans to execute a prisoner despite a shortage of a drug used in lethal injections that has forced some states to temporarily halt executions.
A hearing in federal court Friday will look at the implications of adopting a different drug, one used to euthanize animals, that has never been tested on people.
Corrections officials in Oklahoma tried to find a dose of sodium thiopental to carry out the state's next execution. When they couldn't get it, they changed their protocol to allow the use of pentobarbital instead. The question before the federal court is whether substituting the new drug violates an inmate's Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment.

Cruel And Unusual Punishment?
Jerry Massie, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, says it does not.
"We believe that ... would meet all the constitutional requirements to carry out the execution," Massie said. "We do not believe it would be cruel and unusual punishment."
Most states use a three-drug cocktail to carry out lethal injections: The first drug, the one that isn't available, is an anesthetic that renders a person unconscious; the second drug is a paralytic; and the third stops the heart.
States outline exactly how the lethal injection process will take place, and some legal experts say officials can't just change the procedure at will.
"The state is basically experimenting on the execution of a human being using a drug that's never been used before, and this is really a first," said Deborah Denno, a law professor at Fordham University in New York.

She says the court will look at many issues involving pentobarbital, which is used to euthanize animals. There are questions about the proper dose for people, and, Denno says, if the first drug in the cocktail does not work properly, it would be a violation of an inmate's rights.
"There's consensus among experts, pro-death-penalty and anti-death-penalty experts alike, that if this drug [the anesthesia] is not effective ... the injection of the other two drugs would constitute cruel and unusual punishment because the inmate would be aware of the pain and suffering," she said.
Drug Shortage
John David Duty is set to be executed Dec. 16 in Oklahoma. While in prison, he strangled his cell mate.
In court briefs filed on his behalf, attorneys argue that pentobarbital is unsafe and is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. They say there have been numerous problems in executions across the country even with the drug that has been tested. Defense lawyers also say the new drug is not an ultra-short-acting barbiturate, as the law requires.
Two states, Ohio and Washington, now use a single-drug protocol in executions, which means prisoners get a massive dose of sodium thiopental. Others are trying to figure out what to do while the drug shortage continues.
"Some states have announced that they have an adequate supply of sodium thiopental," said Megan McCracken, Eighth Amendment counsel at the Death Penalty Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley. "Other states have had trouble obtaining the drug and have either turned to other states to get it or, as we've learned recently, have had to seek it from a foreign source, from another country."
Arizona officials carried out an execution in October with a dose they obtained from the United Kingdom. In California and Kentucky, executions are on hold because their doses expired. Tennessee officials recently obtained the drug but wouldn't say where they got it.
The company that makes sodium thiopental, Hospira, has said it can't produce the drug this year, but it could be available early next year. In the meantime, legal experts suggest the Oklahoma proposal of using another more widely available anesthetic could set a new standard for lethal injection.

A Victorian man who blew himself up during a stand-off with police was wearing a bomb vest but did not intentionally trigger it, a court has heard.
Glenn Sanders, 48, was killed and two police officers were seriously injured in the massive blast which destroyed the man's Derrinallum house in the early hours of Saturday April 12.
The Victorian Coroners Court heard Sanders confronted Special Operations Group (SOG) police about an hour after they arrived at his property in an armoured van on the Friday night.
Sanders was wearing a "vest bra containing explosives" and he was also known to have other bombs on the property.
"He approached police inside the armoured van, and complied with an order to stay 25 metres away," counsel assisting the coroner Jessica Wilby said on Wednesday.
"He did not comply with an order to remove his clothes ... lifting up his shirt to show a det cord.
"He told police that he was going to blow himself up, but that he did not want to harm police."
Some hours later there was an explosion in the house, injuring the SOG officers.
"(This) appeared to surprise Mr Sanders, moving his shoulders up and this has exploded his vest," Ms Wilby said.
A coroners court hearing must be held within 28 days of a death involving police.
A further briefing document will be provided to Coroner John Olle by September 6, and a decision will then be made on whether to hold an inquest into the death.

IRVING, Texas (AP) The Dallas Cowboys have hired Rich Bisaccia as special teams coach three weeks after he joined the Auburn staff in a similar capacity.
New Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Friday that Bisaccia had ``an offer that he felt he could not turn down'' after the Tigers hired him to coach running backs and special teams on Jan. 3. The Cowboys reported their hiring on the team's website.
Bisaccia was special teams coach at Tampa Bay from 2002-10 and worked alongside new Dallas defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.
Bisaccia spent the past two seasons as special teams coach in San Diego. He replaces Joe DeCamillis, who went to Chicago as assistant head coach in charge of special teams.

There has been two that have attempted... no success as of yet.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Ok, thanks.
Land of the free?
Hello everyone! I'm new to the hobby/RC world but my brother is steadily getting me interested. I've raced his slash 4x4 and competed with his Axial crawler and now there's this bite mark on my *** that is itching really bad!
I have a question within the topic of this thread though. Recently I helped my brother design, paint, and assemble a new body for his slash. It's a stock replacement body but it's painted to resemble a Stockton Police cruiser (my brother is a former police officer from there). It has an LED light bar with blue and red on the front and amber on the back. There are 2 momentary switches that came with the kit and they work fine. But he wants to use his transmitter to toggle the lights on and off as well as change the pattern of the flashes. He followed what the OP did in this thread with only 1 difference. While the OP used 2 SPDT switches my brother used 1 DPDT switch. My brother isnt a noob when it comes to wiring and electronics either. His job in the Navy was to maintain IFF on our military planes, and hes confident in his wiring on this project. We know that the switches and wiring are good because he used a servo to test. the servo moved its full sweep in both directions with the switches flipped respectively but when its connected to the lights it won't work. The momentary switches still operate the lights normally, but the switches on the transmitter don't
Any guidance in getting this to work before tomorrow's race would be appreciated very much.
Before tomorrow might not happen... it all depends on parts availability and your budget.
The Rx always has power when the ESC is on or the BEC is on.... depending on your set up.
To turn anything off or on with a remote will require a Rx operated switch... it is not possible to do this by simply plugging in LED's or fans into a controlled channel of the Rx.
Here is an example of what you need to control your LED's:
******* Receiver Controlled Switch PRODUCT ID: LUM-ONF
There is also more complex systems... where you have back-up lights and turn signals, but I have since deleted the links for those systems as they are way to expensive for the "wow" factor to overcome.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
If he wants to control each set of lights individually, yes. He will need a Rx switch (and channel) for each set.
If he just wants all the lights to turn on with one switch, I believe the Rx switch will handle the current load.
There is another part (PRODUCT ID: M_Fswitch) that I just found today... it (if I understand correctly) will turn on multiple items, starting with one and ending with another... cycling through what you have hooked up to it. But with this switch, you cannot change the order items turn on without changing the order of the items are hooked to this device.
Sorry I cannot provide links to these items... against forum rules.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I wish it were really mine... lol
I wouldn't have to wait for RC parts.
Glad to read you got it working!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
would this work for the TQi? does it enable something extra on the TQ because I am trying to work out four wheel steering and jolynsbass tried replacing a switch with a potentiometer but it didn't work(I am thinking that this modification enables something extra because zacflyer on youtube did this modification and used a potentiometer and it worked but we are still unaware of if he replaced a switch or did something else.) check out my thread. there is a link to the video.
here is the link http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...rating-a-servo
Would what work??
Opening up channels or the receiver switch?
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I think he wants to know if doing the special trick to open up extra channels will somehow make channel three able to give fully proportional control if you hook up a potentiometer.
Two Rusty VXLs, M2Ks 18/83 - Tag! You're it!
That looks pretty challenging
The answer to "opening up channels in a TQi" was answered 10 posts before yours.
Please take the time to read a thread before posting repeated questions.
If you want to know if something will work in a TQi, you will get better responses starting a separate thread than to post in a thread about the TQ LINK radios.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Hey daniel do you know how wantasummit put the LCD screen on the Tx.cause I did your mod and I want to be able to see what I'm doing in the menu
I think that LCD screen is not connected to the Traxxas radio directly, is something else he added... Wish he shared with us the "how to" or a video to show us how it works...

ok but then how did he connect it???
or add it so it would show settings on it.
PM him and ask... Don't think that works until I see some kind of proof it does...
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
ok sounds good i will thx anyway
I think Traxxas now make one with an LCD screen, it's got something to do with an iPhone maybe?
Thank you Danielhr77 and everyone else who contributed to this epic thread. I just did this mod and installed the Traxxas radio in my Mad Torque. The extra channel is being used for rear steering and working great. Thanks again!
Stampede Max Destruction & Stampede 4X4 X2!
What Transmitters can this mod work on . i have 27 mhz and i want to get new 2.4ghz transmitter and 2ch is cheaper but i don't want to buy 2 ch and not be able to mod it to 4ch . i want 4 channels steering, gas/brake, reverse/forward/ remote start
please reply!
I have personally done this to quite a few 2238's and one 2239. I was able to get all of them to open up... but, there are some that have not been able to get their 2238's to open up. I do not know if it was because they were not performing the steps correctly or if the radio simply was not able to open up. This process is not possible with the new TQi or AM models.
I am not sure you will be able to get remote start working with only a half channel... I would make sure of that before you get too far into the project. -- Channels 4 and 5 are only half channels... meaning they do not have full throw. They on go from center to one side, not from side to side.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
^^ Now I'm just waiting for my ROSS module and Lipo to get shipped so I can have remote start on my Revo!
ok stumbled across this thread this morning to see if the new 4 ch radio will work for my winch , turns out the 2 ch one i have now will work for it i just need to add the switch and wires ! thanks guys
I'm glad it helped...
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Well id like to thank all of you. Lol i thought i was going to have to upgrade my radio gear. But i followed yall ideas. My transmitter was only reading 2 channels. But i grounded the vcc to the other one and Walla its reading all 5. Going to radio shack now I'll be able to run my winch. I use this receiver on my scx10.
Sent from my C5155
So after reading all 6 pages of this thread. which BTW daniel its GREATLY appreciated. so i did NOT want to keep this secret from u guys.
SO i tried allll the steps to UNLOCK my 5 channels,
i came across this.
my reciever was OFF and not even in the same room... ALL can be done from the TX
I grouded my VCC for 5 even 10 seconds... nothing.
i even turned it on and off with it grounded.
i came across this
i went into the *setup menu* and was going threw the *channels* 1 blink, 2 blink, 1 blink*
I then put VCC to ground and let go *maybe a second of being placed together*
i then got a SOLID GREEN light.
so i FLIPPED threw the channels again and BAM
5 channels
My serial number starts with A2242
Please let me know if any of you guys who had this FAIL try this step and let me know thanks
I want to add a toggle switch to my tq setup to remotely switch on lights. I purchased this simple small on/off switch from radio shack.
Question is, if I want to use channel 3 how would I wire this up? I know the middle peg goes to ground and I know where to solder the ground to on the transmitter. Where would I solder the outter wire to? Would it be here?
-Slash 4x4 MT 2000kv
-Slash 4x4 MT 2100kv
I think you need an on/on switch to operate channel 3 with 2 positions... on/off/on for 3 positions.
RSW DWN to ground for one direction
RSW UP to ground for the other direction
It looks like you have TSW UP circled in the picture, which would be channel 4.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
By the way, anyone care to tell me what rsw, tsw, ect stand for or mean?
-Slash 4x4 MT 2000kv
-Slash 4x4 MT 2100kv
RSW could be for reverse switch...
TSW could be for T lock switch...
"So then, as long as I hook up one wire ro ground amd the other to the point I circled above, I should then be able to use channel 4 to toggle lights correct?"
Correct, as long as you also have a receiver controlled switch.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Can this be done to the tqi 2 channel i opened mine up and it has the ports for the extra channel i have heard
People talk about doing it but want to be sure before i try. I have the parts from my burnt out tq 5 channel from my summit. Lete know either way
It has been tried a few times with the TQi with no success.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
It's software locked "so far"...

The unique challenges of praying in public
Praying in public? Jesus discourages it (Matthew 6:5) but clergy are called upon to do it all the time.
Most often, this happens in the worship services of the faith communities we serve and in the homes and hospital rooms of our members. More than a duty, it's a privilege to share these intimate moments with people at milestone events in their lives — birth, illness, marriage, anniversaries and birthdays, retirement and death. It's part of our job, such as preaching or offering pastoral care.
But there's another form of public prayer that we're also called upon to offer — perhaps more frequently in a capital city — that differs from the public prayers in our congregations. It's the opportunity to pray for the opening of civic meetings and events, including the state Legislature.
The opening prayer in our nation's capital dates back to Sept. 7, 1774, when the Rev. Jacob Duche, an Episcopal rector from Philadelphia, offered a prayer to open the Continental Congress. One of the first acts of the newly formed House of Representatives was to elect an official chaplain. The current House chaplain is the Rev. Patrick J. Conroy, S.J., a Northwest native and the first Jesuit to hold the post.
Public prayer in the civic arena is different from public prayer within a faith community. The distinction is an important one in a nation that has as one of its founding principles a deep commitment to the First Amendment, which states that, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Debates have raged since those words were written over how to interpret them. As always, the devil is in the details. What constitutes an appropriate public prayer in a country that is committed to both freedom for religious expression and freedom from religious coercion?
The question became more than academic when I was invited to offer the opening prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives last month.
The guidelines offered to guest chaplains begin with a reminder that the House comprises members from many different faith traditions (Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Buddhist, Muslim, and "other" to name a few). They further state that the length of the prayer should not exceed 150 words.
It must be entirely in English, "free from personal political views or partisan politics, sectarian controversies, and from any intimations pertaining to foreign or domestic policy." I was asked to submit my prayer a week in advance for inclusion in the Congressional Record.
But the guidelines never stipulate what one actually says in the prayer. Conroy offered helpful advice in this regard that underlines the difference between praying for one's faith community and praying for Congress. When we pray with our congregation, we are fulfilling our role as pastor by assisting people to express their faith in words that are sometimes unique to our denomination.
We are appropriately exercising our constitutional right of free expression.
However, when we pray in the civic realm, we are functioning as chaplain. The difference between a chaplain and a pastor is that a chaplain willingly suspends his or her right to free expression in order to enable others from many different religious expressions to be able to join in the prayer.
It is an act of civic restraint on behalf of a greater good. While some may question its validity, it seems to me a necessary virtue in a religiously pluralistic nation.
In the end, this is how I chose to use my 150 words:
"Holy One,
"We know you in an infinite variety of ways. By whatever name we call you, you are the One in whom we live and move and have our being.
"We ask your blessing upon the members of this House as they carry on the business of our nation at this critical time in our history.
"Give them courage in the face of immense challenges, a spirit of cooperation despite their differences, and trust in your divine guidance as they work together for the common good.
"When the path ahead is unclear, remind them that throughout the ages, your prophets and holy ones have shown us what is good; that you require nothing more of us — and nothing less — than to do justice, to have compassion for one another, and to walk humbly with you, the beginning and the end of all things.

Tiger Woods Wants Fans, Opponents To Get Caught In His Web
June 16, 2009: Tiger Woods, already considered the man with the most weapons on the golf course, will add another to his arsenal as he prepares to defend his U.S. Open title this week: an enhanced Web site. TigerWoods.com, Woods' official Web site, and MLB Advanced Media, the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball, have signed a multi-year agreement under which MLBAM will work with Woods' staff to host, manage and operate the site, including responsibility for backend functionality, digital encoding and online customer service and support.

Monday morning, running on fumes
The motorcross jamboree held on Saturday night under the Rogers Centre dome forced an evacuation of the hotel rooms and restaurants overlooking the stadium. Isn't this yet another argument for turning the former SkyDome into a baseball-only venue?
So long to all of our spring mancrushes
Jason Lane and Brad Emaus - the Mantle and Maris of Dunedin in 2009 - both got their walking papers and will make their way to the Jays' minor league camp for reassignment. Also taking the walk of shame is Dirk Hayhurst, whose sterling 13-to-0 strikeout-to-walk ratio in eight Spring innings was not enough to make up for the massive number of earned runs - one - that he gave up in those appearances.
Let's talk about Alex Rios to the Giants again, shall we?
Bleacher Report ponders who got the better of last spring's non-trade of Alex Rios to the Giants, although they weigh out the relative benefits of the swap with Matt Cain as the pitcher coming back to the Jays instead of Tim Lincecum. And while we have a certain roto-league weakness for Cain, we think we can speak for the majority of the Jays' fanbase when we say "thank god that trade never happened."
And while we smugly dump on starting pitchers we don't have...
Let us ponder the fact that Ricky Romero has become the front-runner for the fourth spot in the rotation, and that Dustin McGowan's return to good health may be delayed long enough that he'll have grey in his lambchops by the time he pitches again. Crap.
It's a blogger roundtable!
Mopup Duty has a Blue Jays Bloggers Roundtable of Death, featuring the best and brightest of the northern baseball blogosphere. There are some interesting thoughts in there, and the quality of the commenting is much improved by the fact that we didn't interject our weak-ass third-person piety into the mix. At least not this time.
The Ack will return once he is done parting the waters
For those of you who missed the inimitable weekend stylings of the Ack, know that he will be back just as soon as he turns back the Red River flood waters. No, seriously: he really spent the weekend helping to sandbag and secure the safety of his neighbours, and for that, he deserves our praise and adulation.
It's funny, though, that when the Ack takes a weekend off, people get up in arms, but we could blow off an entire week and no one would care. Suffice to say, we're not walking down any stairwells in front of the Ack any time soon...we saw Showgirls, and we're not about to make the same mistake as Cristal Connors.

Oh, Whitney
Really, I think she was simply a vessel for God to work through, and what's better, she sang about Love. As Generation X and Y, through her music we learned about what Romantic Love felt like before we had experienced it
[Helese TALKS!] I just needed time, guys. This one, Even now, as I look at Whitney Houston videos, I realize that my favorite songs were the ones that weren't the But... I A Really, I'm I Whitney also had a breathtaking, perfect smile...
I took so long to jump on the bandwagon and write about one of my
childhood and teenage musical idols.
like the death of Michael, really felt like a sort of personal loss, and
I was pissed off at how these people are going to be remembered going
out, like some druggie, as if the vulture-like industry didn't have
anything to do with their deaths.
ones that I feel everyone went crazy about, at least they weren't the
ones that necessarily made her anymore famous, like "My Love is Your
Love" (if you listen to the words, you will understand the kind of love
that I'm striving for in my life) and "Why Does It Hurt So Bad" (because
damnit! It really fucking does.)
I also see ads for movies played before the video, just like any other
YouTube clip, and I think about how sick it is that so many people will
profit from the loss of this great human being. I believe she was great
just because she was sincere, not because she could sing. She was
"stank" as we call it in my social circle, and that's a compliment: it's
an inner strength combined with a little soul, and a knowing that you
won't take shit off of anybody, at least not for long.
even have had to stop several times while writing this and just sob,
not just shed a few tears, but one of those heaving cries that comes
from your gut. Whitney even said in her song "My Love is Your Love," If I should die this very day, don't cry/cause on Earth we wasn't meant to stay. Wow,
the implications of that lyric are more important now than ever. And
it's strange that, dealing with some things in my own life, everyday
feels like a kind of Judgement Day for me. So I listen to that song over
and over again just feeling like she's talking to me.
recurrent theme over the last few days for me has been "gifts,"
probably because Whitney had such a great one and literally sacrificed
her life to share it with the world. I thank her for that, because I
just wanted to be able to sing a little bit, just an ounce of
how she was able to, and I could tell it came so effortlessly to her.
Anyone who sings, or admires a person because of their talent that they
too possess can probably relate. We want to hone our skill to the point
where we make it look easy. It was scary how good she was though. It
gave me chills.
I think she was simply a vessel for God to work through, and what's
better, she sang about Love. As Generation X and Y, through her music we
learned about what Romantic Love felt like before we had experienced
it, and we knew God had to be the most generous God, because look what
gifted souls he had blessed us with?
not here to idolize this woman, but how do you express such pain about
the loss of someone whom you've never met? How do you do that without
adding to the pressure that is part of what made them break? Is this
just a trick of the media? Why does it hurt so bad?
don't have any answers. I just know that it does hurt. And years after
we lost Michael, I STILL get pissed off at all the drama and controversy
of how he died, I still have Michael music video marathons, and think
about what could have been. But then, selfish as I can be, I'm also
grateful that I even got to experience him through his music, and that
gorgeous smile.

I just needed time, guys. This one,

7 dead, 14 wounded in Ghazni's Deh Yak battle
7 dead, 14 wounded in Ghazni's Deh Yak battle
GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): Heavily armed Taliban insurgents stormed security posts in Deh Yak district of southern Ghazni province last night and the ensuing clash left seven dead and 14 wounded on both sides, police said Friday.
It was the third such attack from the resurgent Taliban in Rabat area of the district in less than a month, causing casualties to security forces in each attack.
Ghazni police chief Brig. Gen. Mohammad Zaman told Pajhwok Afghan News on Friday that a large number of militants attacked security posts in the area late last night.
He said six Taliban and one policeman were killed and 10 Taliban and four policemen were wounded in the firefight.
Local residents confirmed the hours-long clash, saying both the sides used heavy and light weapons.
Noor Rahman, one of the residents, said: "Many police suffered casualties after the Taliban came closer to the posts, in the morning more police arrived and they removed the dead and wounded."
The Taliban claimed inflicting heavy casualties on government forces in Rabat where a base of the forces was attacked.
Their spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said 24 security personnel had been killed and their three armored vehicles and one pick up vehicle destroyed in the assault.
The Taliban have previously attacked security posts in the same area twice before the last night attack in about one month.
Separately, three suspected Taliban were killed in a blast caused by their own explosives in Khashk area of Ghazni City, the provincial capital, last night.
The provincial police chief, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Zaman, said the rebels were emplacing an improvised explosive device on the highway in Khashk area when it went off, causing the casualties.

An Arizona-based private developer has made a significant dent in the list of vacant, foreclosed homes in Warren and Eastpointe, buying them at a county tax sale, renovating and selling them.
On the other side of Dequindre, Hazel Park is tweaking its ongoing battle against deteriorating homes.
It's deploying auxiliary police volunteers to look for vagrants, squatters and hazards.
We wish Hazel Park could somehow attract the success of the communities next door.
The success story in Macomb County is the result of a $5 million investment by real estate developer Dean Graziosi. His company, Buy Right, bought 300 homes at county tax sales, rehabilitated all but a few and sold them at an overall profit.
Macomb County Treasurer Ted Wahby praised the process as well as the result. In previous years, investors looking for tax sale bargains cherry-picked, bidding for the homes with the greatest resale value at the least cost and ignoring the most dilapidated structures. But Buy Right bought a package, good and bad, and made a profit in rehabbing all.
Wahby said such a package deal 'makes all the communities whole' as property taxes increase. Buy Right's local representative said tax revenues in Warren increased by more than $600,000 following purchase and rehabilitation.
The bulk purchase idea has caught on: An investment group the following year bought all 670 homes up for auction in Macomb County. It remains to be seen if the group will follow through as well as Buy Right.
In Hazel Park, the auxiliaries have started checking the more than 400 vacant homes in the city. The program was devised by Police Officer Brian Strick, coordinator of the auxiliary police.
Strick and City Manager Ed Klobucher hope the program will clearly identify the vacant homes, ensure they're not causing a problem, secured and not vandalized.
The Macomb County program was feasible because the homes were bought for well under market price.
In effect, they'd already been packaged by the county after owners were unable to pay property taxes on them. Without some kind of low-cost acquisition or subsidy, it's impossible to make such a program profitable. Hazel Park had some experience with subsidized redevelopment half a century ago: Its first urban renewal program replaced dilapidated homes with new, larger ones.
But we nevertheless have praise for Officer Strick and City Manager Klobucher, doing the best they can with scant resources, and for Buy Right, for investing in a program that has made two cities and the company look very good.

Clumsy Stamford bank robber pleads guilty
STAMFORD -- Jesse Lee Dinius, 27, of 39 Oak St., Stamford, the hapless bank robber and Fairfield University graduate originally from a wealthy Boston suburb, pleaded guilty Wednesday to robbing a bank last October and trying to rob another one the following month.
Dinius pleaded guilty at state Superior Court in Stamford to second-degree robbery and attempted second-degree robbery and, in exchange, he accepted an eight-year prison sentence, followed by five years of probation. At the time of the robberies, Dinius told police he needed money because he had been laid off a few months before and was scrounging to pay for groceries and bills.
His attorney, Joseph Colarusso, said Dinius, who had worked in the advertising industry before being laid off, is remorseful and ashamed for his family and friends.
"It's a just resolution to the case," Colarusso said. "It's very sad that a young man with such promise got himself in this situation in a desperate time and resorted to some very uncharacteristic behavior."
Authorities say Dinius tried to rob at least three banks in fall 2009, succeeding only once. His first attempt foreshadowed a short-lived and inauspicious stint as a bank robber.
In September 2009, police said Dinius walked into a bank on Glenbrook Road with his roommate's BB gun. According to a voluntary statement Dinius gave to police after his arrest, he decided he did not want to rob the bank. Before he left, however, the gun fell from his pants and onto the ground. Police said he apologized and fled the bank.
A month later, Dinius followed through. He robbed a Hope Street bank in October 2009, stealing $2,850 and using the money to pay bills, he said in a voluntary statement after his arrest.
After that robbery, surveillance camera images of Dinius were given to local banks. In November, employees at KeyBank on Bedford Street told police Dinius had visited the branch and asked about job opportunities, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The next day, the Stamford Police Department sent officers to stake out the bank, thinking Dinius was casing the branch for a possible robbery. Investigators spotted Dinius outside the bank and arrested him, finding him with a demand note and plastic bag that was fashioned into a mask.
Charges in the September robbery attempt were dropped as part of Dinius' plea deal, as well as identity theft charges from 2007.
Unable to post a $225,000 bond, Dinius has been incarcerated at the Bridgeport Correctional Facility, where he will stay until his Sept. 20 sentencing.

FIRST-PERSON: Why I am not signing the 'Evangelical Manifesto'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--On May 7, a much-anticipated document, "An Evangelical Manifesto," was officially revealed to the public. The organizers' press release declared the Manifesto to be a "three-year effort ... to reclaim the definition of what it means to be an Evangelical -- a term that, in recent years, has often been used politically, culturally, socially -- and even as a marketing demographic."
The Manifesto's "Steering Committee" included among others: Timothy George, dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; Os Guinness, co-founder, The Trinity Forum; Richard Mouw, president, Fuller Theological Seminary; and David Neff, vice president and editor in chief, Christianity Today.
I saw the Manifesto for the first time that same Wednesday afternoon when I stepped off a plane in Washington, D.C. I have done my best to read it carefully in the days that have followed.
Subtitled "A Declaration of Evangelical Identity and Public Commitment," the Manifesto declares that "the deepest purpose of the Manifesto is a serious call to reform -- an urgent challenge to reaffirm Evangelical identity, to reform Evangelical behavior, to reposition Evangelicals in public life, and so rededicate ourselves to the high calling of being Evangelical followers of Jesus Christ."
All of these purposes are laudable goals. Let me say at the outset that I am in full agreement with at least 90 percent of what An Evangelical Manifesto has to say. I certainly agree that Evangelicals "should be defined theologically, and not politically, socially, or culturally."
So why am I not going to sign An Evangelical Manifesto? As usual, the devil is in the details. As I grow more mature in years I am more and more aware of just how wise Billy Graham's policy is of never signing statements you haven't written yourself.
Hopefully, one is clear and concise when stating one's own beliefs. We have all heard the old saying that a camel is a horse designed by a committee. Once you commence authorship by committee, the verbal horse soon morphs into the written form of a camel.
What are my problems with the statement? Let us begin with a basic, foundational theological question. The Manifesto affirms that "Evangelicals are Christians who define themselves, their faith, and their lives according to the Good News of Jesus of Nazareth." That is surely true, but it is also hopefully true of all the many followers of Jesus who would never call themselves, or desire to be called, Evangelicals.
The Manifesto then enunciates several beliefs that Evangelicals "have prized above all" and that they "consider to be at the heart of the message of Jesus and therefore foundational for us." The Manifesto then asserts that "the only ground for our acceptance by God is what Jesus Christ did on the cross and what he is now doing through his risen life, whereby he exposed and reversed the course of human sin and violence, bore the penalty for our sins, credited us with his righteousness, redeemed us from the power of evil, reconciled us to God, and empowers us with his life 'from above.'"
When I read that statement I say, "Amen." Then I ask myself, "Why 'foundational for us' instead of ending with 'foundational'? And why 'our acceptance' rather than 'the only ground for acceptance by God'?"
Could this be an attempt to qualify the most basic of all evangelical foundational beliefs, Jesus' assertion that "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6)? I could not help but notice that when the Manifesto quoted this verse several paragraphs earlier in the document, the drafters omitted the last half of the verse: "no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Why?
Is this just verbal imprecision, or is it something more? I know the majority of the drafters and the original signees, and I know that they are "exclusivists" -- people who believe that for all men everywhere there is only salvation in personal faith in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16). However, I know at least one original signee to be a non-exclusivist. The question must be asked, and asked clearly and directly -- does An Evangelical Manifesto believe that salvation for all men everywhere is through personal faith in Jesus and only Jesus?
Further, can someone believe something other than "exclusivism" concerning salvation and still be an evangelical? This evangelical's answer to that question is, and always will be, "No!"
When the Manifesto turns to calls for reform of evangelical behavior, I certainly find much with which to agree. I have made many very similar criticisms of evangelicals over the years. In fact, I have said that given the burgeoning growth of evangelicalism in America over the past 40 years, that at this point, we must acknowledge that we have been influenced by society as much, or more, than we have influenced it. Indeed, instead of being the salt and light we have been commanded to be (Matthew 5:13-16), too often we have been salted and lit by the society around us.
I certainly agree with the critique of the rampant consumerism and materialism which provide kindling and fuel for the "prosperity" gospel, which in truth is not only not evangelical, but a false gospel.
However, if the Manifesto can take time to denounce "consumerism" by name, why can't it take time to specify the sins of premarital and extramarital sex? When evangelicals, who proclaim the sanctity of marriage, have the same rate of divorce as the general society, they have indeed shamed the Gospel they proclaim with their lips, but deny with their libidos.
Are these sexual sins considered too politically incorrect to criticize? Are they considered too much about "personal morality"? We know, and should acknowledge, that the landscape of our society is littered with the sexual revolution's victims -- evangelicals among them -- young and old, adult and child, male and female.
Lastly, the Manifesto turns to finding "a new understanding of our place in public life." I agree, and have said publicly many times, that as Christians and evangelicals we should never be "completely equated with any party, partisan ideology, economic system, class, tribe, or national identity." I have often said that our ultimate allegiance is to God, never any candidate or political party.
However, the Manifesto acknowledges and lauds the impact and influence of prominent evangelical political reformers such as William Wilberforce and movements such as "the abolition of slavery and women's suffrage." The question must be asked, "How did Wilberforce end the slave trade?" He was a Member of Parliament, and he used the political process to end the slave trade.
Just so, the abolitionists used the political process to end slavery. If the mid-19th-century Democratic Party tried to be pro-choice on slavery while the abolitionists, President Lincoln, and the Republicans were adamantly anti-slavery, did the slavery issue become a partisan issue? If so, whose fault was that, the pro-slavery and pro-choice party or the anti-slavery party?
If these men and groups had stayed above the fray, beyond the reach of the rough and tumble political process, their goals would have been reached, if ever reached completely, over a much longer time frame and after much additional suffering by those being victimized by societal evil.
Also, given the central thrust of the Manifesto, I was quite startled to read that "In our scales, spiritual, moral, and social power are as important as political power...." I must disagree, and wholeheartedly so. I can't believe that this is what the Manifesto's authors intended to say, but it is what they said. Spiritual power is, and always will be, more important than political power, however noble its motives and causes.
There is an additional statement in this section of the Manifesto that cries out for clarification. In the midst of an eloquent plea for freedom of conscience and religious liberty, the Manifesto declares that "we have no desire to coerce anyone or to impose on anyone beliefs and behavior that we have not persuaded them to adopt freely...."
In documents of this kind, proponents have a particular responsibility not to be misunderstood. At best, this statement betrays a startling lack of clarity and specificity. Once again, is this just verbal imprecision?
As an evangelical Christian I am also a citizen who has an obligation to be salt and light in society and a right to expect the divinely ordained civil magistrate (the government) to punish those who do evil (Romans 13:1-7). Consequently, it is my duty as a Christian to work to persuade my fellow citizens to enact laws which will coerce the behavior of those who are victimizing and brutalizing others against their will. I do want to support the government coercing the behavior of slaveholders, of pedophiles, of rapists and of murderers. I am not content to allow pedophiles and rapists to continue their bestial behavior until I have "persuaded them" to stop.
I don't think the Manifesto intends to say this, but I can assure you that secularist adversaries in our society will pounce on this statement's lack of clarity to assert that some evangelicals have renounced any legislation of morality.
The Manifesto also calls upon evangelicals to champion a civil public square rather than a naked (secularist) or a sacred (government acknowledgment of the majority faith) public square. This is very similar to my call for "principled pluralism" in "The Divided States of America?" In that book I argued for a public square that maximally accommodates and welcomes all religious persuasions, as well as no religious persuasion, to say whatever they choose to say. I argue in that book that the government should be an umpire in the public square, making certain that everyone has the right to speak, without the majority intimidating and silencing minority views.
In such a model the government is not to be a sponsor, coach or cheerleader for a particular religious or political viewpoint -- nor is it to be a censor or suppressor of any religious or political viewpoint.
Finally, I cannot help but ask one last question: When the Manifesto calls for evangelicals to engage and "work with all who share these ideals and care for the common good," are they unaware of the pervasive extent to which this is already occurring, and has been occurring for many years?
For example, I have had the privilege of working with extremely broad coalitions across religious and political lines for various pieces of legislation such as: the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (1993); the International Religious Freedom Act (1998); the Prison Rape Elimination Act (2003); the North Korean Human Rights Act (2004); as well as various child pornography enforcement policies. Currently pending legislation where evangelicals are involved in extremely broad religious and political coalitions include: the Workplace Religious Freedom Act (H.R. 1431); the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Act (H.R. 3887); and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (S. 625), also known as "The Kennedy-Cornyn Bill."
An Evangelical Manifesto is an eloquent document with substantial things to say -- most of which I affirm. However, given the concerns outlined above, I have to say, regrettably, I cannot sign this document.

The UK's Channel 4 last week televised a remarkable experiment, screened over two evenings. The channel had funded, for the first time, detailed scientific research on the effects on the brain of the drug MDMA, better known as Ecstasy. A selection of volunteers, including some well-known people, had been given an 83mg dose of the drug (or a placebo) before spending an hour and a half having their brain function analysed in an MRI scanner.
The study aimed to look at which areas of the brain were affected by the drug, and how. In particular, those behind the study, including the well known Professor David Nutt, wanted to look at possible clinical uses for MDMA, including as a treatment for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Ecstasy first became popular in the US during the 1980s, and rapidly spread around the world, primarily as a club drug. It induces a sense of happiness, well-being, and increases people's ability to empathise with and care about other people. It's an intensely social experience, and is far better than alcohol at creating a bond between people. It was banned in the US (for no good reason that's ever been articulated), and then around the world – after all, global drug policy has been decided by the US for many decades.
In the UK, a well-orchestrated campaign was rolled out in the media to frighten the public into supporting a clampdown on the drug. The death of Leah Betts after taking her first pill on her 18th birthday, in 1995, created a perfect opportunity for the tabloid press to generate a moral panic. Betts' autopsy later revealed that she'd died of water intoxication, a surprisingly common condition caused by drinking too much water and washing the sodium out of one's system; but of course, the tabloids and politicians didn't retract their earlier version of events. Ecstasy was falsely established in the mass imagination as a "killer drug".
The reasons for the demonisation of relatively safe drugs such as Ecstasy are many and complex. No doubt, the alcohol industry fears the emergence of competitors and lobbies behind the scenes to ensure that alcohol remains the only government approved method of twisting reality. Our politicians too are generally ignorant on the drugs issue – or if they're not, they're all too aware of how they will be attacked in the press if they come out in favour of decriminalisation. But ultimately, as noted above, these decisions are made in Washington rather than London. American puritanism and control-freakery is global policy, until the day the UN finds the collective strength to say no to America.
The police also enjoy the extra powers that come from drug prohibition. I often see police with sniffer dogs pulling people out of London club queues; and you have to wonder who in the police or political hierarchy sees it as a priority to stop people dancing on Ecstasy in private venues. It gives some justification to the current police cuts, if there really are no higher priorities for policing a large city on a Friday night. Most clubbers know how to get past drug searches, so the small amounts retrieved by police and club security can only represent a tiny proportion of the total; the fact is, sniffer dogs provide easy arrests for the police, which can look good when aggregated into national crime statistics. The Home Secretary can brandish increased numbers of arrests and incarcerations, without having to make clear that no additional serious crimes have been dealt with.
In the 80s and 90s, high quality Ecstasy was easy to find, generally in pill form. Then, an EU ban on a precursor chemical made true MDMA scarce. Pills were still sold in clubs, but often containing other drugs, such as caffeine, BZP and later, mephedrone (which then in 2009 became hugely popular in its own right). True Ecstasy was hard to find. And then over the past couple of years for some reason (I'm told alternative manufacturing processes were developed), pure MDMA has burst back onto the scene. These days, MDMA is more usually sold as pure crystals than pills – probably because pills are now more distrusted after years of fakes being sold, and MDMA crystals are easy to test by taste and appearance.
Almost 30 years after Ecstasy appeared on the scene, it is more ubiquitous than ever, and being sampled by a whole new generation, either as a club drug or a bonding experience to be shared among friends at home; which highlights (yet again) the complete failure of drug prohibition. Countless millions of pounds have been spent, countless thousands of young clubbers and festival-goers harassed by police, and many thousands arrested and criminalised, pointlessly.
The Channel 4 experiment included tests on pills seized at the Glastonbury music festival. A third of pills contained no MDMA at all, while many of the remainder were adulterated with other substances. Many prohibitionists hold up this kind of study to prove the dangers of substances like MDMA; but on the contrary, this merely demonstrates the danger of prohibition. The ban on so many drugs like MDMA has simply pushed people to try increasing amounts of untried, untested substances – a recent study reported around one new recreational substance appearing on the market every week. Tabloids regularly run scare stories about new drugs, many so ill-informed and laughable that they're reminiscent of the hilarious spoof drug "Cake", invented by the British comedy show Brass Eye.
And it's not as if MDMA is a dangerous substance. It has been sampled by tens of millions of people over three decades, many of them long-term users, and recorded deaths attributed to Ecstasy are so low as to be statistically insignificant. For example, in 2010, between five and 18 Ecstasy-related deaths were recorded, depending which statistics you use; and in most of these, Ecstasy was cited as a contributory factor, rather than the sole cause. Annual estimated Ecstasy use in the UK varies between half to one million. On this basis, eating salty or fatty food carries a far greater health risk than taking Ecstasy.
And even if the drug were more dangerous than it seems to be, why should people not have the right to use it? Banning everything more dangerous than Ecstasy would see an end to legal swimming, driving, eating most foods and without a doubt alcohol and tobacco. The global panic attack that has led to the banning of dozens of safe substances (as well as a few more dangerous ones) bears no sane explanation. Popular drugs are banned without thought, before scientists can get a chance to research them. The government realises that if publicly funded research gave Ecstasy the all-clear, to maintain the ban would appear ludicrous. So almost no funds go into researching substances – while the government hypocritically continues to label them as dangerous.
Many observers noticed years ago that the War on Drugs had been lost. Many ex-Presidents and police chiefs call for it to end, but only after retiring from office; the moron consensus doesn't allow senior officials to tell the truth about drugs policy.
If you're still in doubt, perhaps you should try MDMA for yourself – you'll find it at the Silk Road marketplace, or perhaps via a young friend or relative. You'll find yourself wondering why a substance far safer than alcohol, that makes people more caring and loving towards each other, is treated by the authorities as a threat to society.

It took an undetected -- for two years -- bug that could allow hackers to monitor much of the encrypted traffic on the Web to convince major players in the tech industry to help fund the OpenSSL open source project.
Discovery of the Heartbleed bug, caused by an inadvertent programming error, earlier this month led to panic among vendors and users upon learning it could allow hackers to steal critical data from exposed systems.
The open source project that created and maintains the widely used tool used to encrypt Web communications has long suffered from a lack of funding. In a recent blog post, OpenSSL Software Foundation President Steve Marquess said the project has typically been funded by "$2,000 a year in outright donations" and some hourly consulting fees.
Clearly, software widely used around the world to secure Internet communications needs more support than that -- and major tech players have finally agreed to help out this and other widely-used open source projects.
Computerworld offers a Tip of the Hat to Jon Brodkin of Ars Technica for an incisive look at how only a potential disaster could convince top tech executives to finally help with some key open source efforts. His story looks at how a lack of funding could have helped create the problem, and how the open-source community plans to use the new source of monies.
As Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin told Brodkin in his story Tech giants, chastened by Heartbleed, finally agree to fund OpenSSL, "In retrospect, everything is obvious."

Coming off an appearance in the FCS Quarterfinals, Wofford was picked third with 215 points, including two first-place votes. Chattanooga was slotted fourth (180), while Furman, under first-year head coach Bruce Fowler, was tabbed fifth (143).
Jason Swepson takes over at Elon (116) as the Phoenix were picked sixth in preseason balloting. Samford (92) came in seventh place, while Western Carolina (56) and The Citadel (45) rounded out the poll.

Rice on Research
I am a Business Professor about to launch a blog. My blog will focus on social media measurement and metrics (market research stuff). To be specific, my blog will be a forum and discussion on methods to determine the effectiveness of new social media (Twitter, Facebook, Blogging etc). At my blog, other academics, business people and students will be able to read my thoughts on social media measurement and contribute their own ideas.
As indicated above, the target audience are other academics, business people and students. In fact, anyone who is interested in social media may find something of interest in my blog.
I have changed the requirements somewhat. Previously, I wanted a whole header designed -- but now I just want to focus on a LOGO that says 'Rice on Research'. I want the logo to have a trendy, clean and uncluttered look. I like simple and stylish design with an elegant font.
In terms of logos that I like, the new Kraft logo seems quite simple and elegant. You can see that here: http://popsop.com/wp-content/upload…s_logo.gif.
I do not want anyone to copy that logo, but I think it expresses my design aesthetic - simple, elegant and flowing. Also, if possible, it would be great if the logo had a design element that expressed measurement - a chart, tape measure etc.
I would like the file in the following formats: High Res .JPG, .EPS and .PSD
I will provide lots of guidance/feedback. It is in my Professor's nature to provide constructive comments :=). I will also show the logos to my marketing class to get their feedback.
