Conventional Internet security suites are great for standalone PCs, but try protecting a larger business network and you'll have to deal with real users who do unpredictable things, such as changing important settings. Sophos claims that its new Sophos Security Suite Small Business Edition 2 is just the tool to bring them into line.
The process begins by installing a management console on a central PC, which then enables you to set up the standard antivirus and firewall settings for everyone to use. You could make sure everyone has a scheduled virus scan that runs at lunchtime or overnight, say. And the firewall provides various interesting instruction detection options, such as the ability to block processes if their memory is modified by another app.
The sheer configurability of each package means the setup process can take a while. It's worth the effort though, because you'll be able to automatically install the firewall and antivirus tool across the network. You can then enforce your standard settings in a couple of clicks, ensuring everyone's running at the security level you need.
It's the inclusion of PureMessage that's the real corporate plus point here, offering spam blocking for Exchange 2000/2003 or IIS (SMTP) gateways. Exchange message stores may be accessed as emails are viewed, and newsgroup postings are checked for infected attachments.
The core spam blocking functionality doesn't offer the configurability you get with other suites, but it's accurate, and perfect for large networks. At £303 for five users, Sophos Security is significantly more expensive than the regular desktop suites. Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007, say, can be run on three PCs, and provides basic network management for only £40.
The price falls as you add more licences, though, with a 50-user, five-year deal costing only £23 per seat. And Sophos does a much better job of enforcing your security standards than PC-cillin. If you need Exchange spam blocking as well, then Sophos Security Suite would be our first choice. Mike Williams

President Obama's Tax-Hike Hypocrisy
In Brief:
President Obama proposed a $1.8 trillion tax increase on hardworking families.
House Republicans proposed revenue-neutral tax reform to create jobs.
President Obama invents phony statistics to mask his tax-hike hypocrisy.
The President claims the House Republican budget hands out "massive tax cuts to households making more than $1 million a year." But that's simply not true.
This budget calls for revenue-neutral tax reform that both broadens the tax base and lowers tax rates for all Americans. Under our budget, the tax code would raise the same amount of revenue as we're taking in today, but in fairer, simpler, more competitive way.
The President and his allies say there's no way we can lower rates without making the middle class pay more. But the tax code is littered with special preferences, exclusions and deductions that add up to more than $1 trillion per year—or over $10 trillion over a decade. Upper-income households are much more likely to use these preferences. [1]
For instance, the top 1 percent of taxpayers reap about three times as much benefit from tax preferences (excluding refundable credits) as the middle class.[2] So this budget calls for tax reform that would curb or eliminate these special preferences.
The majority of non-corporate small businesses pay taxes under the individual-income-tax system. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, over 60 percent of non-corporate businesses have profits in excess of $1 million.[3]
Small businesses generate 60 to 80 percent of net new jobs annually and employ about half of all private-sector employees, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA).[4]
So raising the individual-income-tax rate hurts successful small businesses that are the engines of job creation in our economy.
It's also worth pointing out that only the President's budget calls for more revenue. In fact, his budget would raise taxes by $1.8 trillion over the next ten years.
It's more than possible to reform the tax code without hurting middle-class families. In fact, tax reform is one of the best ways to get our economy growing again—if only the President would cooperate.

Snow in Colorado in July, Really?
As we've been cooking in the summer heat, how cool is this? It snowed yesterday
at Loveland Ski Area - CBS Denver reported they received a dusting
of snow on Thursday. Loveland is just 70 days from beginning snow making operations. They typically go head to head with Arapahoe Basin on which ski area
will be the first to open in Colorado. We certainly had our share of snow
earlier this spring in Fort Collins. Remember shoveling on May Day?

High court won't hear case of banned prayers at military school
Tuesday, April 27, 2004
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court said Monday it will not consider reinstating mealtime prayers at a state-funded military college, turning aside an appeal from officials who wanted to preserve the tradition.
Justice Antonin Scalia blasted his colleagues for refusing to hear the case, arguing that it raised important church-state and other questions. Leaving those issues unresolved is unfair to Virginia Military Institute, Scalia wrote in a dissent joined by fellow conservative Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.
A lower federal court had found VMI's mealtime prayers violate the Constitution, and the high court's action means that ruling will stand.
VMI, part of the state university system in Virginia, lost a previous Supreme Court battle over its all-male admissions policy. The high court forced VMI to admit women in 1996, as Scalia noted dryly in his dissent Monday.
VMI's nightly prayers were recited by a student chaplain after cadets marched into the mess hall.
The prayers, one for each night of the week except Saturday, mentioned God but not Jesus or other religious figures. All the prayers concluded with the phrase, "Now, O God, we receive this food and share this meal together with thanksgiving. Amen."
The case arose when two cadets asked the school to change the prayer ceremony, and sued when VMI refused. The American Civil Liberties Union represented the students.
"As we've said all along, a state institution may not endorse particular religious beliefs, and that constitutional principle has been clearly established for a long time," said Rebecca Glenberg, legal director for the Virginia ACLU. "The Supreme Court apparently has recognized that that principle applies to VMI just as it does to any other state institution."
VMI's students were not required to recite the daily prayer, or even to listen to it, lawyers for the school had argued in asking the Supreme Court to intervene. Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore also argued that the ruling against VMI threatens prayers at other institutions, including the Pentagon and the Naval Academy.
The high court's "inaction on this issue creates a tear in the fabric of our country," Kilgore said in a statement Monday.
"It is disheartening that while American soldiers are fighting for our liberties in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, our young men and women training to be soldiers and leaders at VMI are prevented from praying for their safety as a body," he said.
Scalia did not go as far in his dissent Monday, but said that prayer at a military college is more likely to be constitutional than prayer at a nonmilitary one, "since group prayer before military mess is more traditional than group prayer at ordinary state colleges."
In his reply to Scalia, Justice John Paul Stevens said although the case raised important issues, it has significant procedural and other problems.
It takes the votes of four justices to agree to hear an appeal. The back-and-forth among the justice released Monday shows that, at most, Scalia and Rehnquist collected just one additional vote to hear the case.
The justices in the court's ideological middle, Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy, did not reveal why they did not want to hear the case.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that VMI's suppertime prayers violated the principle of separation of church and state. In its ruling last year, a three-judge panel of appeals judges pointed to VMI's military culture of "obedience and conformity."
"In this context, VMI's cadets are plainly coerced into participating in a religious exercise," the appeals judges wrote.
The full Richmond-based appeals court later divided 6-6 over whether to reconsider the panel's ruling. The tie vote meant the panel's ruling stood.
The Supreme Court is already considering a major case about religion in schools. The justices are expected to rule by summer on whether the current wording of the Pledge of Allegiance, with its reference to "one nation under God" is constitutional in public schools.
The case is Bunting v. Mellen, 03-863.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California state Sen. Leland Yee has been released from custody and his lawyer says the Democrat from San Francisco plans to plead not guilty to corruption and gun charges.
Yee left the federal courthouse in San Francisco shortly before 7 p.m. Wednesday after spending most of the day locked up after his early morning arrest. Yee declined to comment.
Yee's lawyer, Paul DeMeester, declined to discuss the charges against the senator in detail, saying the 137-page criminal complaint will take time to read and fully grasp the criminal case. But DeMeester says the senator plan to plead not guilty to six charge of public corruption and one count of conspiring to sell guns without a license.
DeMeester said the day's goal was to get his client freed on bond. Beyond that, he declined further comment.

Chancellor Brogan, Chair McDevitt release details of New Florida Initiative to transform economy
Initiative includes accountability tools to track progress
on graduates, research grants, other measures of success
TAMPA – Chancellor Frank T. Brogan and Board of Governors Chair Sheila M. McDevitt today released details of the New Florida Initiative, a strategic plan to use the resources of the State University System to transform the Florida economy.
Governor Charlie Crist today endorsed the New Florida Initiative and announced that his 2010-11 budget included $100 million in new recurring funding, the first step in this long-term economic plan. Governor Crist offered his support in remarks to the Board of Governors during its meeting at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
A backgrounder on the New Florida Initiative is attached. It is also available on the Board of Governors" Web site at www.flbog.edu/new_florida.
Brogan said the New Florida Initiative"s long-term investment in the state universities would slingshot Florida out of the recession and jumpstart the job-rich knowledge economy.
"Our economy is in transition," Brogan said, "and this creates an opportunity for rapid advancement if we act decisively and invest wisely. We need to push for the right kind of change, a transition from an economy based solely on tourism, agriculture and growth to an economy that includes a new sector based on knowledge and innovation."
Brogan said the New Florida Initiative included an array of powerful Web-based accountability tools available to the public. "We want the citizens of our state to use these clear, understandable accountability measures to track our progress toward important goals," Brogan said. "We want the people of Florida to have confidence in their investment in the future."
McDevitt said the New Florida Initiative provides the talent needed for competition in research and innovation. "With the New Florida Initiative, we are prepared to generate thousands of additional graduates, the kind of horsepower our state needs to power its new bioscience and innovation future," McDevitt said. "And we are prepared as well to expand our research efforts to create new breakthroughs in medicine and science. With wise and sustained investment in our universities, in science, technology, engineering and medicine, the citizens of Florida can guide our state economy into a new era rich in opportunity and prosperity."
The Board of Governors is the constitutional body created by voters in 2002 to guide the State University System of Florida.

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — Macedonia's conservative coalition won most of the local elections in the country with outside observers approving the process, but the opposition party's leader objected, declaring the elections "were not free and fair."
Electoral Commission information from 98 percent of the votes shows the coalition "For a better Macedonia," led by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski's VMRO-DPMNE party, won 43 of the country's 81 communities in the first round of elections Sunday. The party notably won the election in the capital, Skopje, and is favored to win 12 runoffs on Sunday.
Outside election monitors said the elections were "efficiently administered" but were also critical of some aspects.
Gruevski proclaimed victory early Monday, adding that Macedonia had organized "free, fair and democratic elections that brought victory to all citizens and Macedonia", which will help the country to strengthen its case for European Union membership.
But Social Democrat leader Branko Crvenkovski, head of the left-wing opposition and a former president of Macedonia, said the elections "were not free and fair. Until all irregularities are cleared we have all options open, including not to participate in the rerun."
The Social Democrats won five municipalities and are considered favorites to win another two in the runoffs. Members of the country's Roma, Serbian and Turkish communities each won a municipal election.
In a joint report, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe approved of the administration of the elections, saying they were "highly competitive" but stopped short of total approval of the process.
"Although the campaign was active, partisan media coverage and a blurring of state and party activities did not always provide a level playing field for candidates to contest the elections. Inter-ethnic tensions overshadowed the campaign. Election day was calm, although some procedural irregularities were observed," the report said.
These "procedural irregularities" included dozens of cases described as "family voting" — with one family member openly guiding others as to which candidate to vote for, and voters seen taking photos of their ballots with cell phones — possibly to offer proof to people to whom they'd promised to vote a certain way.
The report also noted that "although the media ... provided extensive campaign coverage in the news, the public broadcaster and several private broadcasters displayed bias in favor of the governing coalition."
The Social Democrats had joined the elections at the last moment. They had boycotted the Parliament for more than two months but ended the boycott earlier this month after talks brokered by the European Parliament and the EU Commission. EU enlargement commissioner Stefan Fuele had said the opposition's participation in the local elections is crucial for Macedonia's EU candidacy.
Voter turnout was 67.61 percent, among the highest since Macedonia proclaimed its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.

Supreme Court Takes Pass on Union-Organizing Case
Concludes It Made Mistake in Agreeing to Hear Case on Long-Used Organizing Tool
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a closely watched case involving union organizing, after concluding it had erred in agreeing to hear the case in the first place.
The court last month heard oral arguments to consider a tactic labor unions have used for decades: agreements in which an employer pledges to remain neutral with respect to a union's effort to organize its workers. The employer also may provide employee lists or other assistance. In exchange, a union may agree to refrain from picketing or criticizing...

MIAMI (AP) — The head of Miami-Dade County's Crime Stoppers program avoided jail time Thursday after a judge found him in contempt of court for refusing to divulge details about an anonymous tip, some of it on a piece of paper he ate rather than turn over at a previous hearing.
Instead, Circuit Judge Victoria Brennan put Richard Masten, the program's executive director, on probation and ordered that he complete a memo about the law governing disclosure of anonymous tips as well as the importance of obeying court orders.
Afterward, Masten said he had been ready to go to jail for up to six months rather than hand over information sought by a defense attorney in a cocaine possession case. More than a dozen police officers from several South Florida departments packed the courtroom as a show of support.
"I'll do it again," he said. "We're going to protect Crime Stoppers tips. We're not going to give it up."
Masten said that in more than 20 years, the Crime Stoppers program has helped solve some 34,000 crimes in the Miami area. His case gained national attention for the paper-eating incident, which was captured on video. There are similar Crime Stoppers programs nationwide.
Brennan had given Masten a Thursday deadline to provide information about the tip, although the identity of the tipster was not being sought. The judge said anonymous tips are routinely turned over to defense lawyers in criminal cases, although Masten insisted that was not the case with Crime Stoppers tips.
Still, the judge said Masten — who was a police chief for 35 years before taking his current job — appeared to be "ignorant" about the rules of evidence. She was more concerned, however, about his defiance of her order.
"There's nothing honorable, ever, in violating a court order," the judge said. "It would undermine the integrity of the entire system."
Masten's probation will end once he completes the memo and it is approved by Brennan, said his attorney Ed O'Donnell.
The defense attorney in the cocaine case, Jean Michel D'Escoubet, said he believes his client had a constitutional right to obtain the Crime Stoppers tip information. He said he may be able to obtain what he seeks from the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office but raised concerns about the ability of Crime Stoppers to shield its tips from evidence rules.
"Crime Stoppers is not above the law. They don't have some special privilege," D'Escoubet said. "My client needs to have all the evidence against her, and this is being withheld from her."
As he wiped fingerprint ink from his fingers, Masten said he is the first Crime Stoppers official in the country to be found in criminal contempt for protecting a tip.
"We're going to have to weather these attempts by defense attorneys to dig out what we have," he said.

Google has a ball in every court. The king of search is always attempting to stretch its reach, marking its territory in every corner of the worldwide Web that it possibly can. And while this has inarguably made it a major contender in all things digital, Google has naturally earned itself a few rivals along the way.
And the Mountain View giant has no intentions of playing nice. Google's ready to use every weapon in its arsenal against the competition, and it won't stop until it's established itself all over the Web, and the world. As powerful as Google is though, we have to wonder: Is it spreading itself a little too thin? But if anyone can, while retaining profit and prestige, it's certainly Google.
Here's a look at three of its biggest competitors, the moves it's making to crack open hardened battle lines and establish a foothold on every mountain, and our best guesses as to whether it will succeed.

I wrote this for iEatGrass.com and am reposting here to spread all of the vegany love! If you don't read iEatGrass, you should, because it's fucking amazing.
History was made last night! Vegans, health freaks and foodies alike gathered around the TV to watch the first ever all vegan cooking show to make it to mainstream television—How to Live to 100 featuring celeb raw vegan chef Jason Wrobel.
Food Network aired the show on the Cooking Channel at 8 pm EST. The series focuses on incorporating super foods into your diet. I personally am stoked about the show because it is marketing itself not to vegans (you can already be assured we're watching) but to omnivores. It portrays veganism in a way that doesn't get much airtime—by focusing on what you CAN eat, instead of what you can't. Instead of being aggressive or off putting with an intimidating super vegany title like "Be Vegan to Live Longer, You Idiot," (which I think was the working title) the show draws in those omni-eyeballs with the simple promise of superior health. Because who doesn't want to live until they're old and looney?
This mindset is how I suggest those new to veganism approach the lifestyle: focus on all the amazing, nutrient rich foods that you should be adding to your diet, and you won't miss the animal products. Well, you won't miss them as much—I know the switch can be hard at first.
I think the first show was a success. Wrobel was captivating, energetic, and way quirky. He was basically VERY EXCITED the WHOLE SHOW. And why wouldn't he be? Vegan dudes in general just tend to get me all excited since I never meet them in real life. Side note: Check out Wrobel's super smoking siggo, Whitney Lauritsen, aka Eco Vegan Girl. Actually I couldn't find it confirmed anywhere that they are partners but I follow both of them on Instagram and they're inseparable. So either they're in love or just like taking adorable pics together morning noon and night, all day, er' day…hm. Can you two make some vegan babies already? Plant-based power couple!
Eye candy aside, dayuummm did Wrobel's recipes look delish. And you can find all of them here, on the Cooking Channel website. Cilantro lime pesto pasta? Chocolate avocado pudding? Zucchini-pumpkin seed fritters? Yes, Yes and Yes!
Thanks J-Wro! I am already excited for next Sunday night. Who else watched? What did you think? Did you miss it? Get a little taste here.

Meg Cabot to Release Middle Grade, Adult 'Princess Diaries' Spinoffs (Exclusive)
Five years ago, Meg Cabot published the final volume in her beloved young adult series, "The Princess Diaries." In a note to fans on her website, Ms. Cabot said that after 16 books, she needed a break from writing about the awkward geek-turned-princess Mia Thermopolis.
"I know she needs a rest, and so do I," she wrote.
Everyone's rested up, apparently. Next summer, to mark the 15th anniversary of "The Princess Diaries," Ms. Cabot will release two new novels featuring Princess Mia, one aimed at middle grade readers and one for adults. In the adult novel, Mia is older and engaged to be married. Mia's wedding plans are interrupted by a scheming usurper who attempts to force Mia's father from the throne.
The middle grade novel will center on a new character, Olivia Grace, a middle school girl from New Jersey who discovers that she's Princess Mia's long lost half-sister, and a royal descendent of the kingdom of Genovia. Like Mia, Olivia chronicles her transformation from civilian to princess in her journal. Ms. Cabot, who studied fine arts as an undergraduate at Indiana University, will illustrate the middle-grade book herself. Feiwel and Friends, an imprint of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, will release the first middle grade "Princess Diaries" novel next summer. A sequel is planned for the following year.
Ms. Cabot began working on "The Princess Diaries" spinoffs when she was in France last fall, on a yearlong sabbatical from writing that clearly didn't stick. Since she had sworn off writing, she started sketching horses and other animals to amuse herself. Then, she saw a few news stories about Prince Albert of Monaco and the children he's had out of wedlock, and imagined a scenario where Mia's biracial half-sister, Olivia, is discovered. She decided to incorporate the drawings into Olivia's notebook.
The idea for the adult novel came from repeated requests from fans, who often wrote to Ms. Cabot and asked if Mia could have a royal wedding to rival Prince William and Duchess Kate's nuptials. William Morrow plans to publish it next summer.
Ms. Cabot, 47, says she was hesitant at first to return to "The Princess Diaries." The series – which follows awkward ninth grader Mia Thermopolis as she struggles through princess finishing school – stretched to 10 novels and sold more than five million copies in the U.S. Ms. Cabot wrote several spin-off books, including advice and manners books. The series was adapted into a 2001 movie and a sequel, starring Anne Hathaway as Mia. "I wasn't sure how people would feel, because I had ended it," she said.
She decided there was room for more. "A lot of the readers who grew up with "The Princess Diaries" YA books are having kids of their own, and some are librarians or teachers, so the adult book is perfect for them," she says.
With a new middle grade series, the original YA books and an adult novel, there will soon be a "Princess Diaries" book for nearly every age group, except for toddlers and elementary school readers.
Ms. Cabot says she's not planning to write any spin-offs for readers younger than eight, but added, "I would never say never."

1,900 pills found at Thomasville home; man arrested
A man was arrested after nearly 1,900 prescription pills were found at a home on Wednesday, Thomasville police said.
James Lonnie Ward, 65, was charged following a search at 706 Edgewood Ave. off West Holly Hill Road.
Investigators found a total of 1,899 pills, including 1,220 Oxycodone pills and 679 Xanax pills. A "large" amount of money also was found, police said.
Two vehicles were seized since more than $20,000 in taxes were owed due to the illegal substances, police said.
Ward was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver controlled substances. He is being held under a $10,000 secured bond.

The Grand Cherokee remains mostly unchanged for 2013. A new trim level, the Trailhawk is now available, catering to drivers who intend to take their Grand Cherokees off-road on a regular basis. Featuring trick suspension, the Trailhawk maintains the Grand Cherokee as the premiere off-road luxury SUV.
Competitive comparison
True, proven off-road prowess; luxurious interior; powerful engine lineup; high-performance SRT variant
Special features for 2013
The Grand Cherokee has proven itself the premiere luxury SUV for 20 years. The newest Grand Cherokee builds on that tradition by offering civilized highway driving as well as the equipment to make a credible show off-road. The base Laredo 2-wheel drive starts at just under $28,000 and comes very well-equipped. The top-of-the-line SRT8's all-wheel-drive on-road performance rivals that of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, but for half the price.
Carried over with minimal changes, the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV with off-road capabilities and a towing capacity in excess of 7,000 lbs. Engine-transmission combinations consist of a 3.6-liter V6 (290 hp/260 lb-ft of torque) with a 5-speed automatic, 5.7-liter V8 (360 hp/390 lb-ft of torque) with a 6-speed automatic, and the SRT8 trim that is 6.4-liter V8 (470 hp/465 lb-ft of torque) paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. RWD and 4WD drivetrains yield fuel mileage within an EPA estimated range of 12 mpg city to 23 mpg highway, depending on engine selection. Features include 20-inch wheels, bi-xenon HID headlamps, rear seat entertainment system, 19-speaker sound system, steering-wheel mounted controls, leather interior, navigation, heated steering-wheel, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and trailer sway control. The Grand Cherokee is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — It's somewhat amazing to a mere mortal sports writer that Bruins 2009 sixth-round draft pick Tyler Randell can even lift his arms, let alone compete at the team's development camp.
The Kitchener Rangers forward, who was among the group on the ice today as the fifth annual development camp got underway at Ristuccia Arena, recorded 21 fighting majors last season in the Ontario Hockey League.
"They were pretty spaced out. One game I had two fights in the game, which is pretty rough," he explained after an hour-long on ice session. "It gets rough on the hands after a while. But it's your job. You've got to do what you've got to do and you do what it takes to get to the next level. By the end of the year, your hands heal up and you're good to go."
For good measure, Randell used his hands for other things than fighting. he also scored 20 goals and recorded 32 points in 68 regular-season games. But those 160 penalty minutes really stand out on his stats line.
A few of those minutes came from fights with guys currently in development camp with Randell, namely Jared Knight and Anthony Camara. The fight with Knight was as much playful as it was rugged.
"It was 8-2 and I didn't really realize it was him and gave him a crosscheck to the face, I think," explained Knight as he dressed next to Randell in the Bruins' dressing room and explained that the two are still buddies. "He didn't like it so he dropped his gloves, I dropped my gloves and it wasn't a very long fight. But …"
When you fight as often as Randell, you're bound to run into a few people you know along the way.
"You can be great friends or you can hate each other, you can still do the same job on the ice," he explained.
Randell named Nathan Horton, Milan Lucic and Shawn Thornton as players he models his game on. Like those Bruins stars, Randell wants to strike a balance between production and pugilism.
"I definitely want to take on the power forward role – not just fight and stick up for my teammates but also take pucks to the net and try to create for my teammates," said Randell.
This fall, the 20-year-0ld Randell hopes to earn a spot at least with the Providence (AHL) farm club rather than get returned to junior hockey. He might have to fight his way to a job, which shouldn't be a problem considering his past.

Here in Chicago, sports talk has become consumed by snide disdain for star point guard Derrick Rose as he remains on the bench during the playoffs while the Bulls hobble on after an impressive if battering series against the Brooklyn Nets. Now that they're playing LeBron James and the Heat, I hear Bulls fans making openly hostile comments about Rose remaining on the injured list despite being "cleared to play."
My favorite overheard joke is that the Bulls are going to erect another statue outside the United Center, this one of Rose peering from the end of the bench in a suit.
Still I feel as though it's my duty to step in and offer some rational thinking on the matter. Here are three reasons the Bulls should not bring Rose back for the playoffs, even after an awesome Game 1 they stole from the Heat:
1) The Bulls are not going to win the championship this year. Ostensibly, the reason to have a franchise player like Rose is to bring a championship to your franchise. The Bulls have three impressive pieces in place: Rose, the relentless Joakim Noah, and coach Tom "Looks Like He Should Own a Steakhouse on Michigan Avenue Called 'Thibs'" Thibodeau.
The majority of the rest of the team is migraine list of terrible contracts and half-pieces that will never get them over the hump of Miami. No matter how exciting that Game 1 victory was—and I was rooting enthusiastically for the Bulls, as I will throughout—you are delusional if you think they can actually win that series. If the Bulls were up 100-62 in Game 4 on the verge of a sweep, I'd still put my money on LeBron to pull that series out of his ass. Bringing Rose back in a fit of delusion that he could somehow take over the series while Noah's feet are aching, Deng's recovering from the superflu, Carlos Boozer is playing Carlos Boozer defense, and Kirk Hinrich's calf is split in half would be the apex of basketball magical thinking.
2) Who says Rose will be anything close to 2010 form? You're talking about throwing a guy back on the court who hasn't played a real game for a year. This season the Bulls have learned how to play without him, for better or worse. Reintroducing him to the lineup in February might have worked, but plugging him back into the rotation on the fly could actually work against whatever weird offensive rhythm the Bulls have managed over the course of a season where they stayed in the hunt. Guys coming back from severe injuries have plenty of 3 for 15 games with 6 turnovers in their systems before they work out the rust. For Rose to have all of those rust games in high stakes playoff situations just seems cruel. You can hear sports radio collectively saying, "Hey, Derrick, why'd you play so shitty? We blame you for this loss."
3) Rose is going to get injured again, and it's just a matter of how soon. Playoff basketball is brutal. It moves faster, the defense is harder, the refs let more bruising contact go without a whistle. Recall that before his season-ending knee injury last year, Rose had a whole slew of health problems, from his back to his thigh. For Rose to be effective, he needs to go hard to the basket. What happens when he tears a calf muscle or snaps an ankle or shreds a meniscus? Then everyone's saying, "Why the hell did you risk playing him?"
Bottom line, theirs massively more downside in this situation. You're banking your franchise player on some improbable notion that a guy who hasn't played for a year can lead your team to the most improbable upset ever and spark the most improbable championship run in NBA history. It makes zero sense, and Bulls fans should probably—here's an idea—shut up and quit shit-mouthing the best thing to happen to their franchise since Michael Jordan.


text: Towering Palestinian from Peachtree - The Province July 23, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Marc Weber Whitecaps' 6-foot-5 centre back Omar Jarun talks about all things concrete The Province's Marc Weber sat down with the Vancouver Whitecaps' towering centre back Omar Jarun and asked him, among other things, why the heck he's not playing American football and how he got so darn big. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound defender from Peachtree, Ga., is in his first year with the Whitecaps after going to the USL-1 final with the Atlanta Silverbacks in 2006-07. Q: Your whole career you were a forward. You were picked as a forward for the MLS Combine in 2006 and then switched to centre back in Atlanta. How tough has that transition been? A: There's a lot more responsibility. Up front I'd like to take some chances and at the back you can't do that. It's frustrating sometimes when you've got to kick long balls a lot, but it's my third year and I like the transition. I just kind of use my athletic ability. Keep learning every day and cut down the mistakes. Q: You're a pretty big guy for a soccer player. Did you play football in high school? A: I was pretty good at football. I was a kicker. Some colleges wanted me to do trials, but I passed on it. [Kicking] was boring and my team sucked in high school. They wanted me to walk on at Georgia, Alabama and Auburn, but I just said no. I didn't want to put much thought into it. Q: Do you follow college football or the NFL closely? A: Oh yeah, I watch a lot of football. Dallas [Cowboys], the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs. I'm a huge Cowboys fan. I've got a T.O. and Romo jersey. Q: Back to the pitch. Do you miss the thrill of scoring goals? A: Big time. That's what really kept me playing soccer rather than kicking a football. That glory of scoring a goal, winning a game. Q: I guess you're hoping to get a few off corners? A: Yeah, we haven't got anything off those. Me and Nashy and Justin [cornerkick takers Martin Nash and Justin Moose], we can work on those a little more. We should be getting four or five of those a year. Q: Last year you suited up for Palestine in 2010 World Cup qualifying -- you were born in Kuwait, but your dad is Palestinian. Describe that experience. A: I was definitely proud to be playing for an Arabic team and obviously playing at an international level. I just wish it was set up better and there wasn't so much nonsense going on politically and with wars. They play with a lot of heart. The local kids have nothing. You see a different meaning behind the game because they don't play for fun or for money. You see a lot of character and it feels great to play with that stuff. It makes you love the game even more. Q: Any future plans with them? A: They've got a tournament (the West Asian Football Federation Championship) Aug. 7-15, but me being there is still on standby (the Whitecaps have games). But any time they call I'll play hard for them. Q: Your dad, B.J., owns a big concrete company in Georgia that you work at in the offseason. Are you doing the heavy lifting or working behind a desk? A: I started out with the hard labour when I was 16 and I've worked my way up to an office job. He gets me involved in all the aspects because he wants me to take over the company. That's why I want to play the highest level possible now because I've got to start working soon. My dad wants to retire when he's 55. It's a big gift having a job sorted for you. Q: Is that how you got so big? Hauling bags of cement around? A: No. My family is really small as well, it's funny. I get a lot of grief about that -- my mom with the milkman and all that stuff. It's just one of those things. © The Vancouver Province 2008 Previous Next

In an all new interview with Essence.com, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Peter Thomas, beau of Cynthia Bailey, is speaking out on doing the show, what he thinks of the other housewives and of course Phaedra and her "clean" comment.
Peter, 50, opens up about his life and why he proposed to Cynthia, 43, despite her reservations about marriage. When it comes to Phaedra, Peter simply believes "she's an idiot" when it comes to the comments she makes. Excerpts from Peter's interview below –
ESSENCE.com: We don't know that much about you. Do tell.
THOMAS: I'm Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-raised, lived in Miami, had seven or eight nightclubs in South Beach for the past 20 years. I'm a New York, Miami dude, and I lived in London for a while. I get around, and Atlanta's new to me. My parents live here.
ESSENCE.com: Cynthia hasn't been shy about her reservations towards marriage. What did you think of that?
THOMAS: I've heard about Cynthia Bailey for the last 21 years of my life. You know Russell Simmons proposed to her, she turned him down. Jayson Williams made a public half-time announcement on TV, she took the ring and gave it back. People that I know, even exes, talk so well about her. She's an independent person and I love that about her. She likes to know that she has her own and I understand why because of her mom. I respect women who are like Cynthia because I'm not one of those guys who think men are superior to women. I used to date Nia Long and she was making like $800,000 a movie, and I was cool with it.
ESSENCE.com: What did you really think of Phaedra's comments about wanting a "clean" man?
THOMAS: Phaedra is like 36, 37 years old and word around town is she's dated a couple of rappers she represented, so when she says "clean" she probably means someone that doesn't have baggage so she doesn't have to deal with mothers from previous relationships. My point to her was I'm a grown man and I have five kids, and there's really nothing wrong with it. I would understand if she was like 22 and getting married but as old as she is saying that… the only reason Apollo is "clean" is because he's been incarcerated for the last six years. She's an idiot. That's how I really feel about the statements that come out of her mouth.
ESSENCE.com: How do you feel about the other castmates?
THOMAS: I don't really know them enough. I've been around Sheree a few times and she's always cordial. NeNe, she's loud. I could be around NeNe, she could definitely be my homegirl. Kandi's a really nice person, and Kim's just crazy.
In other Atlanta news, Phaedra Parks gave a recent interview to a local GA news station – wjbf.com, during which she disucussed being a new mom and also touches on her portrayal on the Bravo hit show.
"Its very exciting, I don't have anything to compare it to since it is my first child, but I adore my son. He's wonderful, he's really a sweet baby," says Phaedra while also revealing that she had a high risk pregnancy and 3 days of labor.
When it comes to her "portrayal" on the show, Phaedra adds that "at the end of the day, it's reality tv and so reality tv is about drama it's about suspense." Phaedra's video interview is below –

Christmas For OUR Troops would like to send a Christmas box of goodies to your loved one or friend who is serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. If you or your service member lives or is from West Texas as defined below by our founder, Scott Davis:
Growing up I always thought of West Texas as being basically the Permian Basin. When we got involved in trying to support OUR Troops it became obvious West Texans have a huge heart and that West Texas covers a whole lot more country than I ever imagined. When I look at a map it is clear to me that West Texas covers the area from Bangor, Maine to Honolulu, Hawaii and from Anchorage, Alaska to Key West, Florida. The troops that protect OUR freedom do not ask if we are from Andrews, Monahans, McCamey, Odessa or Midland they only care that we are Americans. I guess another way to put it is that we are not hyphenated West Texas-Americans we are Americans and we support ALL OUR Troops!!!
You may request a box by sending us the service members name and APO address by using the online form at "APO Addresses" navigation button on the left side of this page. You may also mail or fax a name and address to the address or fax number below. If you want to e-mail a name and address the instructions can be found by clicking on the navigation button "Contact Us".

Tracy, CA
Milton Miller Birkhahn
February 17, 1927 - July 10, 2014
Together Again
Milton Miller Birkhahn was born in Pope County, Arkansas on February 17, 1927 to parents Otto Louis Christophe Birkhahn and Margaret Miller Birkhahn. He passed away after a short illness on July 10, 2014. His family moved to Ft. Bragg, California in 1936 and two years later settled in Tracy. Milt lived in Tracy, attending New Jerusalem elementary and Tracy High. He married Janice Isbell in March of 1949 and they lived on Durham Ferry Road for 55 years prior to moving to Stockton. Milt worked for various farms in the Vernalis area before being hired as an Operating Engineer for Pacific Coast Aggregate where he worked for over 35 years until his retirement. He thoroughly enjoyed his monthly lunches with the OE retirees talking over 'old times'. Milt was a quiet man who enjoyed his family and friends. He and Janice lived a good life together raising their three daughters in the country.
He is survived by his daughters, Michelle and her husband Gary Nelson of Clovis, Joan and her husband Perry Detmering of Stockton and Julie Adams of Stockton; grandchildren, Alicia Nelson, Erik and Ashley Nelson of Clovis, Jennifer, Stephanie and Kaylie Detmering, and Levi Adams, all of Stockton. He also leaves behind great grandsons Joey and Eddie and son Paul Teranishi. He is survived by his sister Mildred Crittenden and her husband, Dale of Fresno, brother-in-law Don Isbell of Reno and his dear friend Diane, sister-in law Marlene Herbst of Pismo Beach and her husband Gary.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Janice, his
parents, Otto and Margaret Birkhahn and his in-laws, Lorin and Rena Isbell.
The family are deeply thankful for the help of his caregivers, Martha and Teresa who helped dad maintain his independence these past ten months since mom's death and enabled him to live in his own home and keep to his 'routine'! Thank you Teresa for your weekend bike rides to the flea market with dad. He did love to search for treasures.
Services will be held at Cherokee Memorial Park (Evergreen Chapel) in Lodi, CA on Friday, July 18, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Our family asks that those wishing to remember dad donate to their favorite charity.

hi again, ok just got back from the pediatrician (now daughter is 4 mo old) and she is gaining well...she is currently 12 lbs 11 oz! yeah!!
ok, so answer the Qs above:
-I am suspicious about the difference in weights as you pointed out...they WERE different scales--one for a walk in clinic which I think is not as realiable, and one from a breastfeeding clinic that is more relaiable since they weigh babies all the time. so the most recent weights are the accurate ones. she is always naked for the weigh-ins
-there is a breastfeeding doctor here in toronto ontario...infact there are two clinics that I know of that have BF doctors. here is a link to the website for the clinic I went to:
for anyone in the area, you should keep this info handy...they are awsome!!! they also have lactation nurses there and there is one who is really knowledgeable and helpful!
-I was nursing q2hrs and not really on cue--I would nurse on a pattern before she got fussy. however now I nurse her about q3hrs. if I try sooner she actually cries and doesnt want to nurse. or she will nurse but only a snack and then will be off her "routine". she is a baby that likes routine I can tell now.
-I do think nursing at night may have helped but then it may have decreased her desire to nurse during the daytime. I think part of it was a bad scale at that walk in center and maybe growth spurts! sometimes ya never know!!
thanks for the input! what a journey this BF is!! hehe

greetings to this wonderful community!
when i was a child i spoke as a child, but wanted to read the greeks in greek;
now i am old and the time is come.
so here i am, armed with Pharr (how come greek texts are always written in minuscule fonts?)
thick reading glasses and a double strength magnifier,
learning an ancient language
all with the help of this amazing technologically enabled virtual community.
can you beat it??
i've been ghosting around the Pharr forum and you people defy adjectives re your generosity of time etc.
so i've registered, really, to say thanks;
but i can foresee wanting to beg for help, so a couple of queries:
a)how come some messages have greek characters, some roman with [/][[etc. ans some just ##=//etc.
b) how do i enter greek characters if i want to post a message
c) how come i can't change my user name in the user control panel
thanks again, and especially to those who keep it running and looking so good, for this site.
p.s. tried a couple of texts, don't know if it's my character or what, but i love Pharr's arcane way of doing things!

Welfare drug test foes: Bill is likely unconstitutionalBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 22. 2013 10:10PM
Civil libertarians, lawyers for the Welfare Department and the Attorney General's Office lined up Tuesday against a proposal for mandatory drug testing of some applicants for welfare benefits.
House Bill 121, filed by state Rep. Donald LeBrun would require a drug test for new applicants for TANF. An applicant failing the test would be disqualified from the benefit for a year, but could be restored after six months provided treatment yielded a clean drug test.
LeBrun, R-Nashua, said the state is playing the role of a drug dealer when it gives money to people who need the cash to pay for their addictions.
"Sometimes the truth can be harsh," Lebrun said. "We hope no one will notice but we have swept this problem under the rug long enough; now is the time to rectify it."
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice opposed the measure at Tuesday's public hearing, arguing that it would likely be subject to constitutional challenges.
Rice said the Attorney General's Office would likely find itself defending the measure against suits claiming violation of constitutional protections against warrantless searches. She told the committee that government drug tests pass muster only in cases of "individualized suspicion" of criminal activity, cases of railway employees involved in a crash or people applying for high-level jobs involving drug interdiction.
"If you choose to go down this road, you will be choosing lots of litigation," said Rice, who also warned that the lack of appeal provisions in the bill could mean the state faces suits claiming violation of applicants' rights to due process guaranteed by the Constitution.
Another attorney, Sarah Mattson of New Hampshire Legal Assistance, called the proposal a "very high-cost, very low-return idea." Mattson said the testing would cost more than the savings that result from people testing positive.
A fiscal note from the Department of Health and Human Services said it would cost as much as $239,000 to reimburse testing costs for clients who test negative, while savings would be about $50,000 to $219,000 from denials - based on estimates of a failure rate of 2.6 percent to 8.8 percent as experienced in other states.
"There is very little evidence that drug use is prevalent among TANF recipients," Mattson said. "There is a persistent and vicious myth that people who are receiving welfare are engaging in drug use at higher percentages than people in the general population and that is simply not borne out."
Laws requiring TANF drug screening in Florida and Michican have been challenged successfully at the trial court level by the American Civil Liberties Union. However, an appeal in Florida is still pending, and an appeal in Michigan resulted in a tie vote in a case before the full bench of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Devon Chafee, executive director of the New Hampshire ACLU, warned the committee that it may plunge the state into a situation where it will "waste taxpayers dollars" defending itself in similar cases if the bill is enacted.
Chafee warned that the bill as written raises other civil liberties issues.
"The drug-testing scheme may reveal highly personal health information, such as certain health conditions, pregnancy and genetic predisposition (to disease)," she said. "It leaves protections to (DHHS) rule-making; therefore the protections are unclear."
The bill was also opposed by Matt Simon of Goffstown, a legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project, who warned that because marijuana can be detected weeks after use, people may instead use liquor or other more harmful drugs that disappear from the system within a couple of days.
One witness other than LeBrun spoke in favor of the bill at the hearing Tuesday.
Dee Shorter, who said she used to work as a caseworker in the Concord welfare office, said after almost 10 years on the front lines seeing what TANF families do with the finances, she is "very much for the bill."
Shorter warned the committee, though, that recipients disqualified from some welfare programs sometimes turn around and find a way to qualify for disability benefits.
"They will find a loophole; that's what they do," she said.

Review of Auburn Town Hall functions finishedBy MELISSA PROULX
Union Leader Correspondent
February 19. 2018 10:56PM
AUBURN — A review of the Town Hall functions finished this month and had about two dozen recommendations to further improve operations.
The report was concluded in February and was meant to evaluate the town hall staff operations. Former Keene city planner John MacLean of Municipal Resources, Inc. in Meredith conducted the assessment.
"The intent of the report is to present the concerns of the management and administrative team, while also incorporating the findings of the MRI professional staff in such a way as to best identify opportunities for improvement," MacLean wrote in the report.
A similar assessment has also been done of the Auburn Police and Fire departments.
MacLean said overall, the assessment was positive. He said that everyone he spoke to were "engaging, professional and committed to the Town".
"Indeed, the community is well served," he wrote.
MacLean looked at the town's policies and met with all the department heads for the town.
In the report, MacLean offered 21 recommendations, including:
• Having the Town Administrator meet bi-weekly with other administrative staff to keep them in the loop about anything going on with the Board of Selectmen. This would also give them the opportunity to share any concerns they might as well as celebrate any employee milestones a particular department might have.
• Periodically reviewing the town's "Classification and Compensation System" to make ensure it corresponds with market conditions and make any changes to job descriptions and/or responsibilities needed.
• Changing the Tax Collector/Treasurer to an appointed position rather than elected to ensure the candidate has the proper qualifications and experience for the role.
• Either creating new benchmarks for the road agent, upgrading the role to a Director of Public Works position or creating a new Buildings and Grounds function to look over parks, recreational areas and cemeteries.
• Allowing for online tax bill payments, which would decrease the number of phone calls and walk-in traffic to Town Hall, as well as cut back on the time the Deputy Clerk spends helping the Tax Collector.
Selectmen said they were happy with the findings and that it will serve as a good roadmap of where to go in the future.

Tom is not our friend anymore. Neither is MAGIC CYCLOPS, ElectroBOOBIES, Larry TEE or Mr. Pacman.
We just canceled our Myspace profile. Or at least, initialized the proceedings. We are scheduled to receive an email shortly containing instructions we must follow to complete the cancellation. Thank you.
We don't even use Myspace anymore, really. It was cool two years ago when we promoted parties. It helped get the word out and we could "monitor the scene." Now that we have a real job *cough cough,* it sits as an internet artifact to a life we once led, a vestigial ligament, and a catch basin for the odd acquaintance who decides to send us a message through it, arriving with the charm of a telegram.
But mainly it's a way for crappy bands and stupid people we've never heard of to market themselves to us. Which we were relatively okay with, we just set it so we don't get notifications anymore. But then Myspace got creepy.
Our little brother and sister are on it. It got sold to Murdoch and the renovations began. Currently, the homepage is swathed in X-men. We hate X-men. And recent reports that schools are using Myspace to spy on their students, and even punish them for things said and done there have made us furious. Raging. Party's over, kids.
We refuse to support this system, even as a passive "friendship" node.
Goodbye, Myspace. You are a loser.

|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Ibritumomab and tositumomab are available for intravenous (IV) use. They are administered only under the supervision of a doctor.
Ibritumomab and tositumomab deliver radiation directly to lymphoma cells using monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are substances produced in a lab that bind to cancer cells wherever they are in the body. Radiation is attached to a monoclonal antibody. The monoclonal antibody recognizes specific proteins that are found on the surface of some lymphoma cells. The monoclonal antibody locks onto the protein (like a key in a lock) and causes the cell to die. The radiation attached to the antibody also kills lymphoma cells that are nearby.
Ibritumomab is used with another monoclonal antibody medicine called rituximab. Tositumomab is used by itself.
Ibritumomab and tositumomab are used to treat nonaggressive, low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that has relapsed or not responded to other treatments such as chemotherapy.
Ibritumomab and tositumomab are effective treatments for nonaggressive, low-grade NHL that has relapsed or not responded to other treatment.
Warnings about serious side effects of ibritumomab (Zevalin) have been issued by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Some of these side effects have been fatal. These side effects include trouble breathing; closing of the throat; swollen lips, tongue, or face; heart problems; and severe skin reactions. If you develop any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Ibritumomab and tositumomab may cause birth defects. Do not receive this therapy if you are pregnant or if you wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking these medicines.
Serious side effects of ibritumomab and tositumomab may include:
Less serious side effects may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Before you receive treatment, your doctor will make sure you are healthy enough to take ibritumomab or tositumomab. People who have had more than 25% of their bone marrow replaced or been treated with radiation should not have this monoclonal antibody therapy.
You will be watched closely after treatment. This includes imaging scans with a gamma camera to make sure the lymphoma is targeted and the rest of your body receives safe doses of radiation. Your blood will also be checked each week with a complete blood count (CBC) test for at least 10 weeks after treatment to look for blood disorders.
You will have a radioactive chemical in your body for several days after treatment. So limit your exposure to other people—especially to children and pregnant women—for at least 1 week. Use a method of birth control for 12 months after treatment because of possible effects on your reproductive organs. Do not breast-feed after receiving treatment. Dispose of bodily wastes, such as urine, properly because they have traces of radiation.
Ibritumomab and tositumomab have only been approved for use by adults. There is no specific information about the use of ibritumomab and tositumomab in children.

Your Turn, NH: A competitive shooter reflects on calls for gun control
At the risk of being labeled a gun nut, I am offering my opinion on gun control after the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. I belonged to the NRA for most of my 25 years in the military because I was an active competitor in military and civilian pistol and rifle matches. To compete in sanctioned matches, you had to belong.
During those years, the NRA had a legitimate purpose, promoting competition and shooter education. Once Wayne Lapierre took over, the NRA became a group of surly people pushing a new agenda. I cancelled my NRA membership and reluctantly gave up competition. I'd burned through thousands of rounds punching holes in paper targets, and I still maintain my shooting skills privately.
Competitive pistol shooting requires at least three different weapons: a high-power hardball gun, a wadcutter gun (usually both .45 caliber) and at least one small-bore (.22 cal.) pistol. Prudent competitors had backup weapons in case of a malfunction during a match. That's a requirement of at least three, but probably five pistols. Competitive rifle was a bit easier, since you could get by with one high-power (30-06, 308, etc.), and one small-bore rifle, as long as you only shot iron-sight matches. You would need double that number if you were firing in scoped matches.
I've been an avid hunter since I was 12, and I have hunted large and small game here and abroad. Hunting a variety of animals requires at least one high-power rifle, one shotgun and one small-bore rifle. Then add many hunters who hunt with a pistol. Don't forget trap and skeet shooters.
Now, how are you going to reconcile these purely sporting uses with the nutjobs who want to limit everyone to two guns? Hunters or target shooters know that won't work; do the math!
I concede that assault rifles have no functional role in the private sector, and I believe they should be well-regulated. Taxing them would be one partial solution, but placing stricter controls on them, like those already in place for fully automatic weapons, would help immeasurably. Taxing gun owners who use their weapons for sporting use? Why don't we tax drunk drivers while we're at it?
Registering guns has historically led to subsequent confiscation in many "civilized" countries. Many politicians in this country fear an armed populace because the masses may someday rise up and overthrow our corrupt system. Armed guards in schools? OK, then the crazy shooters will find another forum: churches, malls, arenas, etc. will all be fair game. Armed guards everywhere? Holy Police State, Batman! We can't do that; this is America!
It's time for gun reform, but it needs to be approached in a sensible and fair manner. Are you listening, New Hampshire U.S. senators and representatives? And we absolutely don't need guns in the State House or on college campuses.

Bill that would allow local tribes to exercise their own law enforcement powers moves to Senate
Hartford — A bill authorizing the state's top public safety official to negotiate agreements establishing the authority of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal police departments won overwhelming support late Tuesday in the House of Representatives, which passed the measure 132-3.
House Bill 6373 now moves on to the Senate.
Under the proposal, the commissioner of the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, a post currently held by Reuben Bradford, would enter into separate agreements with each of the tribes, subject to the chief state's attorney's approval. It's expected that such agreements would empower tribal police officers to arrest non-Indians on reservation lands, including Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun, owned, respectively, by the Mashantuckets and the Mohegans.
Currently, tribal police may only detain non-Indian suspects for arrest by state police and prosecution in state court. Tribal police are authorized to arrest tribal members who are prosecuted in tribal court.
State and tribal police have had concurrent jurisdiction on the Mashantucket and Mohegan reservations since the 1990s.
The bill would also grant the public safety commissioner and the chief state's attorney joint authority to revoke the agreements, and specifies that members of the tribal police departments would have to undergo certification training by the Police Officer Standards and Training Council.
The legislature's Public Safety and Security Committee unanimously approved the bill in March, weeks after conducting a public hearing that elicited little opposition. The Government Administration and Elections Committee also approved the measure.
State Rep. Stephen Dargan, D-West Haven, the public safety committee's co-chairman, said that once a tribal department's officers were POST-certified, the department would function as any municipal police department in the state does.
State Rep. Tim Bowles, D-Preston, asked whether the tribal police departments' jurisdiction would extend to state or local roads adjacent to tribal lands.
"I don't think they want to branch off any more than the property that they have unless there is a major accident where they have a mutual response to it," Dargan said. "It wouldn't be more than any of our other communities now."
The Mashantuckets' department, preparing for a greater role in policing the tribe's reservation, including Foxwoods, has added more than a dozen officers in the last year, most with decades of experience working for municipal police departments. Tribal Police Chief William Dittman has said all department members will soon be POST-certified.
All members of the Mohegans' police force are also expected to have the certification.
The legislation grew out of talks between Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration and the tribes. Both parties agreed to cut costs by reducing the state police presence at the casinos as tribal police became better trained.
A review of the bill by the state Office of Fiscal Analysis found that in each of the last four fiscal years, the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection incurred more costs related to law enforcement at the casinos than it received in reimbursements from the tribes.
Total costs incurred exceeded tribal reimbursement by $1.2 million in fiscal 2011 and by nearly $2.3 million in fiscal 2012, the office reported.
Editor's note: This version corrects the committee that state Rep. Dargan co-chairs.

BitFenix Spectre Pro Fan Review
Today OCC is once again taking a look at products from the renowned BitFenix. BitFenix is well known for its innovative and attractive case designs; the last time we saw something from BitFenix was in the form of the Raider mid-tower gaming chassis. Today we're changing directions a bit and taking a look at a few BitFenix Spectre Pro and Spectre Pro LED case fans.
Since BitFenix's entire design focus is on state-of-the-art hardware it comes as no surprise that these fans are something out of the ordinary. These are follow-ups to the original BitFenix Spectre fans and are outfitted with quite a few more features. Between the dual frame construction, reinforced fan blades, and high pressure/airflow design they certainly sound like a good upgrade for your case. Let's dig into the packaging and find out just what we've got in store today!
Closer Look:
Opening up the packing box I found a 230mm Spectre Pro LED fan, a 140mm Spectre Pro fan, and a 120mm Spectre Pro LED fan. Each is packaged quite similarly with the front of each box clearly showing the size, color, and type of fan. There won't be any surprise when you pull them out of the packaging. The sides of the packaging have very large text with the model names – there's no mixing up which ones have LEDs and which ones do not. The backside of each box has a list of features and specs, all of which are spelled out on the Features and Specifications page.
Now that we have the fans out of their boxes we can take a look at what they come riding along with! BitFenix has included standard case fan screws, rubber vibration-isolating mounting pegs, rubber washers to minimize vibration, and a 12 volt to 7-volt adapter to slow the fans down should you find them too loud at full speed. The two Spectre Pro LED fans have an additional accessory: an extension cable to allow toggling of the LEDs on and off with selected BitFenix cases and accessories. Do note that the 12 volt to 7-volt adapters are a bit of a "dangerous" addition if I may call them that. They use the 12 volt rail for the positive input power and your power supply's 5-volt rail as the "ground." Normally this won't cause any issues on a modern power supply as long as you have a decent load on the 5-volt rail. However, if you do not pull more power from the 5-volt rail than these fans back-feed into it, many power supplies will either behave erratically or shut down to protect themselves. I would have rather seen a resistor-based setup to slow the fans down instead of this somewhat non-specification "hack job." However, most people won't have any issues with this unless they're running an almost purely fan-based load on their PSU…and I'm pretty sure most of us like to at least run our computer off of our PSU as well.
Closer Look: 120mm BitFenix Spectre Pro LED
Pulling the 120mm BitFenix Spectre Pro LED out of its box reveals its dual frame construction. To be perfectly honest this construction feels slightly more flimsy than a single-piece frame but at the same time it looks absolutely amazing and shouldn't pose any issues once installed. The red frame outlined with smoked grey mounting points really highlight the overall construction and quality in this fan. There is a 2-pin plug hanging off of the fan that is jumpered out of the box; this is the 2-pin plug that allows the toggling of the red LEDs on the fan itself. The fan connector itself is a standard 3-pin plug with power, ground, and fan RPM output. Spinning the fan up with a spare PSU reveals its true colors: blood red lighting backed by a smoked grey frame. The lights aren't going to blind you but they do add a nice red tinge to anything near them. I'm a huge fan of red lighting with dark accents and I must say this fan looks awesome!
Closer Look: 140mm BitFenix Spectre Pro
The 140mm BitFenix Spectre Pro looks nearly identical to its smaller 120mm sibling except for the size and color. Gone are the smoked grey fan blades, red motor frame, and smoked grey outside frame. They are replaced with pure black plastic that is completely opaque. The same construction quality is seen with this version. The wiring is identical with the exception of the 2-pin LED plug; obviously this is not needed on a fan without LED lights on it.
Closer Look: 230mm BitFenix Spectre Pro LED
Unlike its two smaller brethren the 230mm BitFenix Spectre Pro LED has a massive two part frame that looks nothing like I've ever seen before on a case fan. The edges remind me of a chain-drive motorcycle or something straight off of a Gears of War chain saw gun. While it is quite different, I do like the way it looks with the red motor frame and smoked grey fan blades and frame. This fan is quite bulky, however, and I worry that it may not be all that easy to install in anything but BitFenix cases. This is a common issue with larger fans, but hopefully I can figure out a way to get it into my test case! The lighting on this fan is similar to its smaller 120mm bother – muted but very red.
All lined up together these fans look great together! It's time to move on and see how well they perform in various configurations in the Cooler Master HAF XM. This case was chosen because it should be able to hold the three fans we're looking at today in addition to all of its stock fans with very little effort.

Jerzyk and del Corral Break Records in Lanzarote
Fleet-footed Agnieszka Jerzyk and Victor del Corral set new course records on the challenging (but spectacular) IRONMAN 70.3 Lanzarote course.
by Volker Boch
IRONMAN events on the Canary Islands are always won by strong bikers. Spaniard Victor del Corral might be renowned for his running prowess, but he didn't wait for the final discipline to nail down the victory—and set a new course record. Poland's Agnieszka Jerzyk did wait for the run to take the lead in the women's race, also setting a record.
Another big day in Lanzarote for del Corral
Lanzarote seems to be a comfortable race venue for Victor del Corral Morales. In 2012 he became only the second Spaniard (after Eneko Llanos) to win the oldest IRONMAN in Europe. Like he did two weeks ago in Pays d'Aix, del Corral had an incredible run, adding to his race-fastest bike split to take the title. He also broke Ivan Rana's course record with his 4:06:42 winning time.
Russian Olympic distance specialist Alexander Bryukhankov forced the pace in the swim, leading a group of seven out of the water in 22:23. It wasn't until the 9.5 km climb at Tabayesco that del Corral started his show. Great Britain's Will Clarke had been leading the race from T1 on, and was almost three minutes ahead of del Corral at the bottom of the tough climb. By the top, though, the lead was down to 10 seconds. A little later del Corral passed Clarke and would never look back. Clarke took the silver medal thanks to a solid run ahead of Domenico Passuello from Italy.
Another Olympian takes a 70.3 title
Holly Lawrence from Great Britain was the first women out of the water in 24:03 minutes, followed by defending champion Danne Boterenbrood (NED) and Germany's Katja Konschak. Jerzyk, who raced at last year's summer Olympics in London, and the British co-favorite, Susie Hignett, lost only a few seconds in the swim, but the Belgian duo of Tine Deckers and Sophie de Groote, along with former ITU world champion Samantha Warriner (NZL), came out of the water almost three-minutes behind. Boterenbrood attacked for the lead at the bottom of the Tabayesco climb. Jerzyk, Hignett and Lawrence followed behind, but on the uphill section, Deckers made up a lot of ground. By T2, Boterenbrood was still in the lead, but Deckers was in the runner-up position ahead of Hignett and Jerzyk. (Only 90 seconds separated first through fourth.) Jerzyk started like a short-distance athlete and kept the pace up until the finish line. The 25-year-old almost sprinted to the victory in her debut pro race on the IRONMAN 70.3 series in 1:22:42., breaking the previous course record (4:39:48).

University of Utah engineers who built wireless networks that see through walls now are aiming the technology at a new goal: noninvasively measuring the breathing of surgery patients, adults with sleep apnea and babies at risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Study authors estimates it will be five years until such a product is on the market. They say a network of wireless transceivers around a bed can measure breathing rates and alert someone if breathing stops without any tubes or wires connected to the patient.
In addition to other possible uses, the study authors want to conduct research with doctors to test the method as an infant-breathing monitor, and, if it proves useful, develop it as a medical device that would need federal approval. It may be useful for adults with sleep apnea.
The Study: Using Wireless Transceivers to Detect Breathing
Because of efforts to patent the new use of the wireless breathing-detection technology – which has been named BreathTaking – Neal Patwari posted his study on the online scientific preprint website ArXiv before submitting it to a journal for formal publication.
Patwari conducted the study with Wilson; Sai Ananthanarayanan, a postdoctoral electrical engineer; Sneha Kasera, an associate professor of computer science; and Dwayne Westenskow, a professor of anesthesiology and research professor of bioengineering. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation.
In a new study, Patwari showed a network of 20 wireless transceivers placed around a hospital bed could reliably detect breathing and estimate breathing rate to within two-fifths of a breath per minute based on 30 seconds of data.
This is different than using wireless transmitters to relay measurements from conventional breathing monitors. The motion of the chest and abdomen during breathing impedes the wireless radio signals crisscrossing a bedridden patient, who in the study was Patwari himself. Each of the 20 transceivers or "nodes" can transmit and receive to the other 19, meaning there can be up to 380 measurements (20 times 19) of radio signal strength within a short period of time (the transceivers transmit one after the other).
The study was conducted
