Bribery Case Linked To Ex-NM Gov. Bill Richardson Back In Court
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A retired New Mexico district judge is accused of telling a potential judicial candidate she would need to make payments to a Democratic political activist, if she wanted a seat on the bench, money, that would then be funneled to former Gov. Bill Richardson, according to a report from prosecutors.
The judge, Michael Murphy, is at the center of one of a string of investigations into alleged pay-to-play activities with ties to Richardson, whose 2008 nomination to a Cabinet post in President Barack Obama's administration was scuttled by a federal probe of state investment activities.
It was one of a string of investigations into alleged pay-to-play activities with ties to Richardson, whose 2008 nomination to a Cabinet post in President Barack Obama's administration was scuttled by a federal probe of state investment activities.
It was the only case that resulted in criminal charges. And after two years, it appears to have collapsed into a plea bargain that will reduce four felony charges to a single misdemeanor count of conduct unbecoming a public official.
The agreement would end a high-profile case that shocked the judiciary two years ago when prosecutors implied the bribes were part of a long-running practice under which Murphy and other judges worked with southern New Mexico Democratic activist Edgar Lopez to choose new judges for the district.
Richardson has called the accusations "outrageous and defamatory." Lopez called them "absurd." Murphy was suspended from the bench, and then retired, but has always maintained his innocence.
Special Prosecutor Matt Chandler, an ally of Gov. Susana Martinez and a rising star in GOP, promised the indictment was just the beginning of an aggressive investigation.
Attorneys in the case have declined comment on a change-of-plea hearing scheduled Thursday afternoon on the charges pending against Murphy. But documents filed with the court show prosecutors and the defense have agreed to have a new charge filed against Murphy — this one a misdemeanor count of misconduct by a public official.
A motion filed after the plea hearing was set says Murphy agrees not to contest the misdemeanor charge "contingent upon the state agreeing to certain conditions."
The allegations date to 2007, when potential judicial candidate Beverly Singleman said she sought advice from state District Judge James Martin on how to get her name on the list for appointment to a vacancy on the bench. During a lunch with Martin and Murphy, Singleman said that Murphy told her she needed to make weekly contributions to Lopez, who funneled the money to then-Gov. Richardson.
Singleman reported the conversation. Martinez was Dona Ana County district attorney at the time and running to replace Richardson when she appointed Chandler, district attorney for Curry and Roosevelt counties, as special prosecutor to investigate the case.
Richardson was not running for re-election because of term limits, but Martinez campaigned hard on cleaning up corruption in state government and made Richardson the poster child for everything that was wrong in New Mexico.

Mathematics and Computer Science
Mathematics is the language of the sciences and the analytical tool of many disciplines. In its own right, mathematics is one of the finest inventions of civilization, demanding both creativity and rigor. Its inherent beauty, its search for pattern, and its ability to provide a language through which the natural world can be described are examples of its power.
The mission of the Mathematics and Computer Science department is to provide an opportunity for all students to gain computational dexterity, to understand the value of mathematics as a human and social endeavor, and to develop the power of mathematical reasoning, while promoting the rigorous reasoning skills that allow students to investigate the interplay between the abstract and the concrete. The mission of the department with respect to computer science is to provide basic instruction in end-user skills for all students and in-depth instruction in theory and applications for computer science majors.
The department has two majors: mathematics and computer science. The mathematics major offers the choice between a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree. The computer science major offers a choice between a degree with a theoretical concentration and a degree with a concentration in computer information systems.
The department, in conjunction with the VWU Education Department, offers four-year programs which meet the Virginia DOE competencies for teacher certification at the middle school and secondary levels.
Major(s): Mathematics, Computer Science
Minor(s): Mathematics, Computer Science

Every l33t haX0r has a favorite means of destruction, a signature style of infection that sets them apart from the other nub hackers. Most signatures are meant to fly under the radar and are rarely known until it's too late. But, for some of the l33ts, hacking isn't meant to be directly malicious. For some, it's just a hobby to pass the time and infecting a system doesn't mean destroying it, it just means getting through a challenging firewall and planting your flag!
Sure, Trojans and Malewarez are by definition malicious, but how can you, HOW CAN YOU call these plushies malicious? A trophy for the hax0r with a heart that doesn't want to hurt anyone, that just wants to love her Trojan virus like any loving parent would. Or, snuggle up with their Malware, play with it, wear it like squishy glasses while they show it how to internetz like a real pro without hurting anyone? Sometimes, a computer virus just needs a hug and a forever home.

UED6074, New August 1980
Missouri CourthousesContact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://explorer.naco.org/.
In 1847 the Oregon County Court ordered a 20-foot-square, hewn-log courthouse of two stories to be built in Thomasville, the first county seat of Oregon County. John R. Woodside served as superintendent. The two-story building, erected on the square, cost about $140. Specifications recorded in the county record are reprinted in Lewis A. W. Simpson's book, Oregon County's Three Flags, and a drawing illustrated the description.
When the county seat moved to Alton, the court ordered the old courthouse sold in February 1860. It brought $105.
The court appropriated a total of $4,550 for a courthouse to be built in Alton on the square. G. W. Reed (or Read) contracted the building and when the building was completed in August 1861 he received $75 to cover additional finishing.
In October 1863 this courthouse was burned in a Civil War incident. At the conclusion of the war the court occupied temporary quarters in Alton. After considering building a new courthouse, the court decided to rebuild on the old foundation instead. In November 1870 the court ordered W. Huphers to draft a plan to suit the old foundation, so the designs were probably similar.
The court appropriated $8,000 for the rebuilding in February 1871 and appointed Samuel W. Greer, a commissioner, to draw the plan and superintend the building. The court accepted Greer's plan and ordered him to advertise for bids. The commissioners gave the contract to J. F. Kidwell for $5,795 in June 1871.
Construction apparently was underway in October 1871 after the foundation had been cleaned out. Since Figure 1 is an undated photograph, it may be the 1861 or 1871 building. If it is the 1861 courthouse, the 1871 rebuilding may have used the segmental arches.
Figure 1Oregon County Courthouse, uncertain date. (From: Oregon County's Three Flags, 1971)
In March 1903 a grand jury recommended improvements, which a local paper noted were badly needed. In July 1903 the court asked contractors for bids on improvements, which included a 22-foot addition, new roof and three fireproof vaults. W. E. Wadsworth submitted the lowest bid and filed bond. By April 1904 the work, which cost about $5,100 was nearly completed. The old building was raised 13 inches and both old and new enclosed with a mansard roof, which created a third story (Figure 2).
Figure 2Oregon County Courthouse, after 1903 remodeling. (From: Oregon County's Three Flags, 1971)
The windows with segmental arches in Figure 2 indicate a change from the horizontal frames seen in Figure 1. The 13-inch addition in height mentioned in a contemporary account is evident when comparing roof lines in the two illustrations.
The building of 1861, rebuilt in 1871 and enlarged with a 22-foot extension in 1903-04, was razed in October 1939 as preparations for the present courthouse began.
Because government funds were available in the 1930s, Oregon County took steps to build a new courthouse by authorizing bonds amounting to $25,000 in January 1939. A Work Projects Administration grant for almost $75,000 brought the total to about $100,000.
The court secured plans from Earl Hawkins, a Springfield architect, for a three-story building with offices on the first floor and the sides of the second. The courtroom occupied the center of the second and third stories. On the sides of the third story were the jail and a local lodge.
Oregon County citizens preferred using local stone, but Ironton red granite was finally chosen since it cost less than quarrying native Oregon County stone. The court received the building from the W. P. A. in February 1942 (Figure 3).

It all began with a group of very committed friends, Wednesday's Moms. My best friend, Olivia Newton-John, and I had shared the joys of motherhood together. We conceived our girls within weeks of one another, and they were born six weeks apart. Like us, Chloe and Colette had a very unique bond. They were glued at the hip.
On Wednesdays, we would meet in special places with a group of friends and their kids. The William O. Douglas Outdoor Classroom is a beautiful park, filled with old-growth redwood trees and a duck pond with coots and mallards. It was the perfect place. It captured our children's attention and inspired us moms to protect them and the environment. We sensed then that the fragile ecosystems that supported all life – air, food, and water – were becoming tainted with chemicals. Nature herself was beckoning, "Protect me."
As mothers, we were sensitive to this calamity. We knew we had to defend our children. And we had to speak out against the use of pesticides and other chemicals that were invading our environment. Yet, in many ways, we felt helpless.
When Colette was born, I was a television journalist. I had been working as a reporter for The Home Show, an ABC network daytime talk program, a predecessor to programs like The View, where topical subjects became a platform for discussion. I was fortunate to obtain an interview with Meryl Streep, whom I had gotten to know as a member of an organization she co-founded with Wendy Rockefeller, called Mothers and Others for Pesticide Limits.
Meryl had graced the cover of Time to defend the rights of children whose food supply – mainly apples – had become tainted with Alar (daminozide). This agricultural spray, a pesticide, was causing worldwide concern. Meryl had testified before Congress, demanding its removal. The controversy became the centerpiece for the Children's Environmental Health movement. It gave birth to the need for greater science and investigation in terms of children's vulnerabilities.
Meryl's determination to awaken others to the misuse of pesticides gave me an opportunity to take a stand. I rallied many of my influential friends in the entertainment community to support the passage of an all-inclusive environmental measure, California's Big Green initiative.
To get national attention and raise awareness in support of this initiative – which would provide clean air, water, and food in California, as well as what I believed would be a template or model for other state initiatives – I produced an ABC television variety special called An Evening with Friends for the Environment. It starred Meryl Streep, Olivia Newton-John, Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, Cher, Lilly Tomlin, and Robin Williams.
Then all of my work as an advocate became distilled in what I call an "infinitesimal moment of disbelief" the day I learned Colette had cancer.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
If I based belief on the bible I would not believe. Wheels I know you've read enough of my posts to know that I do not get my belief from the bible. The bible is why I was atheist for 7 years. I believe in Intelligent Design. The authors of the bible, though presumably wrong, thought up Intelligent Design before the bible was written, so it is possible to believe in God w/o the bible. Many tribes believed in a Higher Power and many still do. It is the attributes assigned to that Power that I do not subscribe to.It is possible that Jesus was real. In the chance that is true I will not dishonor him. IMO, we are all God's children.You people need to stop telling lies about me. Atheistic attitudes. My belief comes from the belief that intelligence was necessary to have such a world as we do. NOT FROM THE BIBLE.

BBC America has given us a first look at its upcoming drama "Copper."
The teaser shows the series' main protagonist, Det. Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones) shooting someone, pummeling a prisoner with brass knuckles, sitting in bed with what appears to be a hooker, and getting reprimanded by his boss.
Obviously this copper ain't no saint.
But Corcoran, an Irish-American cop working the mean streets of New York City's Five Points neighborhood in 1864, has an ax to grind: He's searching for the baddies who kidnapped his wife and killed his daughter. The Civil War vet quickly learns that it's hard to keep your moral compass pointed true in a city full of corruption, violence and class and racial conflict.
Sure, as a colleague pointed out, "Copper's" revenge story is nothing new, but the trailer indicates it's going to find its own distinct plot lines. It was on my summer must-see list, and the trailer just makes me more impatient for the debut.
Besides, BBC America couldn't have asked for a better team behind-the-scenes for its first non-import original series. Co-creator Tom Fontana gave us some of the most praised TV dramas of all time, including "Oz," "Homicide: Life on the Streets" and "St. Elsewhere." Will Rokos, the other co-creator, had a hand in the film "Monster's Ball" and the excellent cop drama "Southland." They serve as exec producers along with Oscar winner Barry Levinson ("Good Morning Vietnam," "Rain Man"), Cineflix Media Co-CEO Glen Salzman and Cineflix Studios President Christina Wayne (executive in charge of "Mad Men").
Besides Weston-Jones, who appeared in "MI-5" and looks dam imposing (not to mention sexy) as Cocoran in this clip, the cast includes "Run Lola Run" star Franka Potente as Eva Heissen, a madam; Kyle Schmid of Syfy's "Being Human" as Robert Morehouse, an aristocrat and friend of Cocoran's; Anastasia Griffith ("Damages") as Elizabeth Haverford; Ato Essandoh ("Damages") as Dr. Matthew Freeman, an African-American who secretly assists Corcoran, and Kevin Ryan as Det. Francis Maguire, Corcoran's partner. (For more casting, check out this previous post.)
The 10-episode "Copper" premieres at 8 p.m. Aug. 19 on BBC America. Learn more about the show at BBC America's newly launched "Copper" site.

SME Education Foundation to Offer Two Additional Scholarships to Ohio Engineering Students
Additional funding doubles support for the Mazak Manufacturing Technology Scholarship
(DEARBORN, Mich.) — Mazak Corp. is doubling its support for one of the SME Education Foundation's scholarships, the Mazak Manufacturing Technology Scholarship. This scholarship program will now provide four, full tuition scholarships for the next two academic years, 2014-15 and 2015-16.

Fiscal Cliff: How Might it Affect the Car Business?
On the eve of 2013 Congress has yet to resolve the "fiscal cliff" tax stalemate and the effect on the auto industry could be significant, according to a recent survey.
As car makers look forward to a year in which they expect pent-up demand to drive sales growth, failure to reach a deal on taxes today could kill demand. The prospect of higher taxes could cause ripples through much of the auto business from new-car dealerships and used-car lots to maintenance garages and car washes.
The findings come from Swapalease.com, a Cincinnati, Ohio, company that matches people who want to get out of their car leases with shoppers looking for short-term lease agreements. Swapalease surveyed more than 2,500 drivers across the U.S., who answered questions on how the fiscal cliff might affect them and their approach to personal transportation.
Here are some interesting numbers from the Swapalease.com report:
If no deal is reached and taxes rise significantly, how much would you look to downsize your monthly car payment:
56.4% of respondents said $100 or more per month
20.8% of respondents said $200 or more per month
26.2% of respondents said they would consider getting rid of their vehicle and payment altogether without replacing it with another one.
If the Fiscal Cliff forces the economy to worsen, which vehicle maintenance items might you skip occasionally or do less frequently to save money:
17.3% said oil changes
18.4% said tire replacements
11.4% said engine work
78.4% said regular car washes
If the Fiscal Cliff forces the economy to worsen, would you be more or less likely to replace your car with a hybrid to save money:
26.4% said less likely
39.9% said more likely
33.7% said they wouldn't get a hybrid no matter the economic conditions
If taxes rise significantly in 2013, which auto upgrades would be low priority when shopping for a car:
58.8% said navigation systems
35.2% said GAP protection (insurance)
39.7% said technology features
4.5% said safety features
28.1% said vehicle performance features

Think fast: What's the first thing you do in the morning? If you're like many people, you reach for your mobile phone or tablet to review emails, check in with friends or play your latest game obsession. And these days, you can find an app for just about anything whether it's to help simplify your life, educate your kids or provide a little down time and fun for yourself. To help you get the most out of your mobile phones and tablets, I reached out to a few mom groups -- North Shore Mamas, Dear Milo, NY Moms World, Mocha Moms and MBA Moms to find out their favorite, go-to apps for kids and adults alike. Here's a round-up of moms' must-have apps. -- Compiled by Jennifer Berger
Free; Compatible with iPhone and iPad
"The Pinterest App definitely has me addicted. It's the perfect app for organizing my entire life in every category from recipes, to how I want to redecorate my home, new clothes to buy, toys for my son -- I could go on and on and on! It keeps me occupied for hours. Come take a look @SusanUrsoKing."
-Susan Urso King, Massapequa, mother of one
Starfall ABCs
$2.99; Compatible with iPhone and iPad

-Mimi Chi, of Port Washington, a mother of two
Baby Monitor
$4.99; Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
"What I love about this app is that you leave your phone on in the room where the baby is sleeping and it acts like a baby monitor. You program another phone number into the app (for example, your home phone number) so when the baby wakes up and makes noise, the other phone receives a text or it rings. You can also set the sensitivity level for when it will call the other number."
-Tiffany Macartney, of East Northport, a mother of two boys
The Weather Channel
Free; Compatible with iPhone, iPad and Android

Stacy's Bootcamp
$1.99; Compatible with iPhone, iPod and IPod Touch
"A working mom with twin girls under 1 equals a busy life and it can be hard to find time to work out. That's when I turn to Stacy's Bootcamp app to get my workouts in. So, while the babies are napping, I can pull up one of her basic workouts to keep me in shape. Also, when I'm traveling with my job, I love being able to have a program to follow that keeps me in shape while I'm away. The exercise library explains every workout move in detail, so I know I'm doing the exercise correctly."
- Jacqueline Hetherington, of Manhattan, a mother of twins
$.99; Compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android
"One of my favorite apps is Cardbank. It manages all of your store reward cards, gym membership cards, library cards, and so on. This way you can get rid of all the small cards you carried on your key chain!"
- Stephanie, of Smithtown, a mother of 2-year-old twins
Chase Mobile
Free; Compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android
"The app from Chase bank lets you take a photo of a check with the phone and it makes the deposit from the photo. That is just insanely cool. It's like we are living a futuristic sci-fi novel from the 80's, right?"
-Vera Mendizabal, of Huntington, mother of two boys
Cookie Doodle
$.99; Compatible with iPhone and iPad

-Melissa Kessler, of Plainview, mother of two boys
MMSCL Library
Free; Compatible with iPhone and iPad
"That's easy, the one for our Mastic-Moriches-Shirley Community Library. They offer lots of free programs and you can reserve spots for them online. All you need is a library card number. Very convenient when you work as much as I do and spend more time on the pocket PC than the home PC."
-Patricia Hayward, North Babylon
Key Ring Reward Cards
Free; Compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android
"I would say one is my Key Ring app. I don't have my key rings on me all the time and they can just scan it from my phone."
-Michelle Amisano, of East Northport, mother of two boys
Free; Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry
"Great for working moms to stay organized with their bills."
-Angie E. Morris, of New York City
Walk 97.5

-Kimberly Thomas, Valley Stream, mother of two
Pandora Radio
Free; Compatible with iPhone, iPad and Android
"I use the Pandora internet radio app every night to help my son fall asleep. You can create any playlist you want by clicking on "new station" and entering the genre or artist you want.

It's become the way my husband and I communicate about important school events or parties -- I can invite him to see my calendar on his phone, too!"

Extended maintenance of Ruby 1.9.3 ended on February 23, 2015. Read more
This class implements a pretty printing algorithm. It finds line breaks and nice indentations for grouped structure.
By default, the class assumes that primitive elements are strings and each byte in the strings have single column in width. But it can be used for other situations by giving suitable arguments for some methods:
newline object and space generation block for ::new
optional width argument for #text
There are several candidate uses:
text formatting using proportional fonts
multibyte characters which has columns different to number of bytes
non-string formatting
Box based formatting?
Other (better) model/algorithm?
Christian Lindig, Strictly Pretty, March 2000, www.st.cs.uni-sb.de/~lindig/papers/#pretty
Philip Wadler, A prettier printer, March 1998, homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/language-design.html#prettier
Tanaka Akira <firstname.lastname@example.com>
This is a convenience method which is same as follows:
begin q = PrettyPrint.new(output, maxwidth, newline, &genspace) ... q.flush output end
# File prettyprint.rb, line 41 def PrettyPrint.format(output='', maxwidth=79, newline="\n", genspace=lambda {|n| ' ' * n}) q = PrettyPrint.new(output, maxwidth, newline, &genspace) yield q q.flush output end
Creates a buffer for pretty printing.
output is an output target. If it is not specified, ''
is assumed. It should have a << method which accepts the first
obj of #text, the first argument
sep of #breakable, the first
newline of ::new, and the result of a given
block for ::new.
maxwidth specifies maximum line length. If it is not
specified, 79 is assumed. However actual outputs may overflow
maxwidth if long non-breakable texts are provided.
newline is used for line breaks. "n" is used if it is not
The block is used to generate spaces. {|width| ' ' * width} is used if it is not given.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 78 def initialize(output='', maxwidth=79, newline="\n", &genspace) @output = output @maxwidth = maxwidth @newline = newline @genspace = genspace || lambda {|n| ' ' * n} @output_width = 0 @buffer_width = 0 @buffer = [] root_group = Group.new(0) @group_stack = [root_group] @group_queue = GroupQueue.new(root_group) @indent = 0 end
This is similar to ::format but the result has no breaks.
newline and
genspace are
The invocation of
breakable in the block doesn't break a
line and is treated as just an invocation of
# File prettyprint.rb, line 55 def PrettyPrint.singleline_format(output='', maxwidth=nil, newline=nil, genspace=nil) q = SingleLine.new(output) yield q output end
Breaks the buffer into lines that are shorter than maxwidth
# File prettyprint.rb, line 124 def break_outmost_groups while @maxwidth < @output_width + @buffer_width return unless group = @group_queue.deq until group.breakables.empty? data = @buffer.shift @output_width = data.output(@output, @output_width) @buffer_width -= data.width end while !@buffer.empty? && Text === @buffer.first text = @buffer.shift @output_width = text.output(@output, @output_width) @buffer_width -= text.width end end end
This says "you can break a line here if necessary", and a
width-column text
sep is inserted if a line is
not broken at the point.
sep is not specified, " " is used.
width is not specified,
sep.length is used.
You will have to specify this when
sep is a multibyte
character, for example.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 188 def breakable(sep=' ', width=sep.length) group = @group_stack.last if group.break? flush @output << @newline @output << @genspace.call(@indent) @output_width = @indent @buffer_width = 0 else @buffer << Breakable.new(sep, width, self) @buffer_width += width break_outmost_groups end end
Returns the group most recently added to the stack.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 97 def current_group @group_stack.last end
This is similar to breakable except the decision to break or not is determined individually.
Two fill_breakable under a group may cause 4 results: (break,break), (break,non-break), (non-break,break), (non-break,non-break). This is different to breakable because two breakable under a group may cause 2 results: (break,break), (non-break,non-break).
The text sep+ is inserted if a line is not broken at this point.
sep is not specified, " " is used.
width is not specified,
sep.length is used.
You will have to specify this when
sep is a multibyte
character, for example.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 176 def fill_breakable(sep=' ', width=sep.length) group { breakable sep, width } end
first? is a predicate to test the call is a first call to first? with current group.
It is useful to format comma separated values as:
q.group(1, '[', ']') { xxx.each {|yyy| unless q.first? q.text ',' q.breakable end ... pretty printing yyy ... } }
first? is obsoleted in 1.8.2.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 118 def first? warn "PrettyPrint#first? is obsoleted at 1.8.2." current_group.first? end
outputs buffered data.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 251 def flush @buffer.each {|data| @output_width = data.output(@output, @output_width) } @buffer.clear @buffer_width = 0 end
Groups line break hints added in the block. The line break hints are all to be used or not.
indent is specified, the method call is regarded as nested
by nest(indent) { … }.
open_obj is specified,
text open_obj,
open_width is called before grouping. If
close_obj is
text close_obj, close_width is called after
# File prettyprint.rb, line 213 def group(indent=0, open_obj='', close_obj='', open_width=open_obj.length, close_width=close_obj.length) text open_obj, open_width group_sub { nest(indent) { yield } } text close_obj, close_width end
# File prettyprint.rb, line 223 def group_sub group = Group.new(@group_stack.last.depth + 1) @group_stack.push group @group_queue.enq group begin yield ensure @group_stack.pop if group.breakables.empty? @group_queue.delete group end end end
Increases left margin after newline with
indent for line
breaks added in the block.
# File prettyprint.rb, line 240 def nest(indent) @indent += indent begin yield ensure @indent -= indent end end
This adds
obj as a text of
width columns in
width is not specified, obj.length is used.

If you go to your health care provider and say, "I think I have a food allergy," your health care provider has to consider other possibilities that may cause symptoms and could be confused with food allergy, such as food intolerance.
To find out the difference between food allergy and food intolerance, your provider will go through a list of possible causes for your symptoms. This is called a differential diagnosis. This type of diagnosis helps confirm that you do indeed have a food allergy rather than a food intolerance or other illness.
One possibility is the contamination of foods with microorganisms, such as bacteria, and their products, such as toxins. Contaminated meat sometimes mimics a food allergy when it is really a type of food poisoning.
There are substances, such as histamine present in certain foods, that cause a reaction like an allergic reaction. For example, histamine can reach high levels in cheese, some wines, and certain kinds of fish such as tuna and mackerel. In fish, histamine is believed to come from contamination by bacteria, particularly in fish that are not refrigerated properly. If you eat one of these foods with a high level of histamine, you could have a reaction that strongly resembles an allergic reaction to food. This reaction is called histamine toxicity, and (technically) could also be considered a type of food poisoning.
Another cause of food intolerance confused with a food allergy is lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency. This common food intolerance affects at least one out of ten people. Lactase is an enzyme that is in the lining of the gut. Lactase breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and most milk products. There is not enough lactase in the gut to digest lactose. Lactose, instead, is used by bacteria to form gas which causes bloating, abdominal pain, and sometimes diarrhea. There are tests your health care provider can use to find out whether your body can digest lactose.
A compound that is frequently tied to adverse reactions and often confused with food allergy is monosodium glutamate (MSG. MSG is a flavor enhancer, and, when consumed in large amounts, can cause flushing, sensations of warmth, headache, facial pressure, chest pain, or feelings of detachment in some people. These transient reactions occur rapidly after eating large amounts of food to which MSG has been added. Yellow dye number 5 may rarely cause hives.
Sulfites can occur naturally in foods or are added to enhance crispness or prevent mold growth. Sulfites in high concentrations sometimes pose problems for people with severe asthma. Such reactions led the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban sulfites as spray-on preservatives in fresh fruits and vegetables. But they are still used in some foods and are made naturally during the fermentation of wine, for example. Fortunately, sulfite allergy is very rare.
Gluten intolerance is associated with the disease called gluten-sensitive enteropathy or celiac disease. It happens if your immune system responds abnormally to gluten, which is a part of wheat and some other grains.
Some people may have a food intolerance that has a psychological trigger. In selected cases, a careful psychiatric evaluation may identify an unpleasant event in that person's life, often during childhood, tied to eating a particular food. The eating of that food years later, even as an adult, is associated with a rush of unpleasant sensations that can resemble an allergic reaction to food.
There are several other conditions, including ulcers and cancers of the GI tract, that cause some of the same symptoms as food allergy. These problems include vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping abdominal pain made worse by eating.

Attorney General Baker Announces Execution Date for Jack E. Alderman
Georgia Attorney General Thurbert E. Baker offers the following information in the case against Jack E. Alderman, who is currently scheduled to be executed during the execution window starting at noon on October 19, 2007 and ending at noon on October 26, 2007.
Scheduled Execution
On October 3, 2007, the
Alderman's Crimes
Alderman and his wife, the victim, lived together at the Chatham City Apartments in Garden City,
Through her employment with the City of
Alderman had met John Arthur Brown when both Alderman and Brown were employed in the Vehicle Maintenance Department of the City of
On Thursday, September 19, 1974 Brown testified that Alderman called Brown, requesting him to come to the Piggly-Wiggly Supermarket. (T. 751). During this visit, Brown testified that Alderman asked Brown to kill the victim, and offered Brown one half of the insurance proceeds Alderman would receive upon the victim's death. (T. 752). Brown, claiming not to take Alderman seriously, accepted the proposition. (T. 752).
Brown subsequently explained to the police, and testified, that the reason Alderman wished to murder the victim was to receive insurance proceeds from the victim's death and to prevent the victim from seeking a divorce and a favorable financial settlement from Alderman. (T. 752, 839, 840, 926, 1162-1165).
Later in the day on Thursday, Brown borrowed Alderman's motorcycle, and was involved in an accident while riding with Sally Wiess. (T. 753-754, 1104-1105, 1216). Brown subsequently repaired the motorcycle, and returned it to Alderman on Thursday evening. (T. 754-755, 841, 1216). Despite his anger about the damage to the motorcycle, Brown testified that Alderman still requested Brown's help in murdering the victim. (T. 755, 846). Brown then asked the victim to take him home to Bloomingdale, and testified that Alderman was later angry with Brown for not having killed the victim on this trip. (T. 757).
On Saturday, September 21, 1974, Brown testified that Alderman called him and requested Brown to come to Alderman's apartment. (T. 757, 863). Upon Brown's arrival at the apartment at approximately 5:30 or 6:00 p.m., Alderman handed Brown a wrench, and instructed Brown to go into the bedroom and hit the victim. (T. 758, 867-868). Alderman then simulated Brown leaving the apartment, went into the bedroom with the victim, and later returned, pretending that Brown had returned to the apartment. (T. 759, 871). Alderman and Brown then began playing records on the stereo, and Alderman went and woke up the victim to have her clean up after Alderman's dog in the dining room. (T. 759, 873). After Brown did not attack the victim while she was cleaning up the carpet, Alderman became angry and threatened Brown. (T. 760, 877).
Brown subsequently struck the victim on the back of the head with the wrench. The victim cried out for Brown not to strike her again and ran into the living room. (T. 760-761, 890-891). Alderman then tackled the victim in the living room and held his hands over the victim's nose and mouth in an attempt to suffocate her. (T. 761-762, 893-894). Brown also attempted to strangle the victim. (T. 762, 894-895). When the victim became unconscious, Brown testified that he told Alderman the victim was dead, but Alderman stated he wanted to make sure. (T. 762-763, 895).
Alderman and Brown then carried the victim into the bathroom, and placed her in the bathtub. (T. 763, 896-898). As Alderman started to run water into the bathtub, Brown returned to the living room and dining room to clean up the blood from the carpeting. (T. 763-764, 898). Alderman then joined Brown, and attempted to clean the carpet with rug shampoo. (T. 763, 898-899). After this, both men both changed clothes. (T. 764-765, 899-900).
Both men then went into the bathroom and Brown pulled aside the shower curtain to see the victim lying face up in the tub, with water covering her body. (T. 765). Alderman and Brown then left the apartment, going first to the Piggly-Wiggly Supermarket at approximately 6:00 to 6:30 p.m., where Alderman borrowed $100, and then going to two
At approximately 10:00 p.m., Alderman and Brown returned to Alderman's apartment, where they removed the victim's body from the bathtub and wrapped it in a green quilt. (T. 769, 910-911). Both men then placed the victim's body in the trunk of Alderman's 1974 Pontiac LeMans. (T. 769-770, 911, 1342). Brown, driving the car, then followed Alderman on the Alderman's motorcycle to Rincon and Dasher's Creek. (T. 771, 912). Once at the creek, both men removed the victim's body from the trunk of the car, and placed it in the driver's seat of the car. (T. 771, 914, 916). Leaving the engine and the lights on, and the car transmission in drive, at Alderman's direction, Brown then reached into the window of the car, released the emergency brake and sent the car into the creek. (T. 772, 914-917). After the car did not go all the way into the creek, Alderman directed Brown to open the car door and let the victim's body fall halfway out of the car. (T. 772, 918). According to Brown, the purpose of all these actions was to make the victim's death look like an accident. (T. 920).
After removing the green quilt and the rubber trunk mat from the car, both men then left the scene on Alderman's motorcycle, with Brown driving the vehicle. (T. 772-774, 921-922). On their way to dispose of the quilt and mat at a dump off of Highway 21, Brown testified that they passed a car on
Ronnie Cowart testified that he passed over Dasher's Creek on his way to Rincon at approximately 10:05 p.m. on September 21, 1974, and saw nothing in the creek. (T. 508-509). Cowart, whose house is one half mile from the creek, then testified that at approximately 10:15 p.m. that evening he heard a car and a motorcycle pass on
Randy Hodges and Terry Callahan were returning home via Baker Hill Road and Highway 131 at approximately 11:00 p.m. on the evening of September 21, 1974. (T. 524, 542). While on Baker Hill Road, the men met a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction, with a light colored object flapping in the wind as it went by. (T. 525, 542-44). After the men turned onto Highway 131 and approached Dasher's Creek, they noticed a car in the creek. (T. 528, 544). Hodges jumped out, saw that there was a woman in the car, and noticed that the car lights and interior fan were still on and that the car transmission was in neutral. (T. 529, 545). The victim's body was laying half out of the car, face up in the water. (T. 529). Hodges noticed blood stains on the car seat. (T. 531). At the same time, Callahan went to Lamar Rahn's house to call for help. (T. 531, 545). Both men noticed motorcycle tracks approximately 25 to 30 feet from the car, and also saw signs of a motorcycle kickstand. (T. 532, 546-547). Carol Riner Jones also arrived at Dasher's Creek at approximately 11:00 p.m. on the evening of September 21, 1974. (T. 556). She also noticed that the car was in neutral, and that the car's air conditioning lights were still on. (T. 557).
Effingham County Sheriff Lloyd Fulcher was summoned to the Dasher's Creek scene. (T. 560-561). Sheriff Fulcher found the victim's car in the water adjacent to the bridge, with the car lights and air conditioning fan on. (T. 561). There was no apparent physical damage to the car.
Garden City Police Officer J. D. Crosby, at the request of Sheriff Fulcher, went to Alderman's apartment at approximately 12:00 to 12:15 a.m. on September 22, 1974. (T. 591). The apartment was locked.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent H. H. Keadle went to the
Further investigation led Agent Keadle to John Brown, who eventually gave a statement incriminating both himself and Alderman. (T. 623-625, 952-953). Agent Keadle's investigation also confirmed that there were blood stains on the driver's seat in Alderman's car, that the car gear shift had been in neutral and that the lights were left on in the car. (T. 636-637). No extreme dents or damaged parts were evident anywhere on the car. (T. 638). Agent Keadle also observed the motorcycle marks at the scene where the car had been found. (T. 639). Agent Keadle recovered a stained portion of a green rug, which had been removed from Alderman's apartment by the victim's mother, as well as Alderman's motorcycle helmet. (T. 620, 608-609, 639).
Alderman's father, Jack Alderman, Sr., removed a crescent wrench from Alderman's apartment on September 30, 1974, and turned it over to Chief Curtis Thompson of the Garden City Police Department. (T. 599-602). Chief Thompson was also responsible for transporting Brown back to Garden City from Statesboro, during which Brown made a number of incriminating statements. (T. 604, 948-951).
Forensic Serologist Elizabeth Quarles, of the Georgia State Crime Laboratory, examined the blood found on Alderman's clothes. (T. 651, 655). The blood, type A, subtype M, was consistent with the victim's blood. (T. 653, 656-657). An examination of the victim's automobile revealed one palm print and four fingerprints, which were stipulated to be Alderman's. (T. 627). Brown's fingerprints were not found on the car. (T. 645).
Dr. Charles Sullenger, performed the autopsy upon the victim. (T. 674). Dr. Sullenger discovered a laceration wound on the back of the victim's head, which was inflicted by a relatively blunt instrument. (T. 678, 683). Dr. Sullenger also observed liquid in the victim's lungs, which he determined had entered the lungs while the victim was still breathing. (T. 687-689). The doctor found no evidence of any abnormalities in the victim's heart, no scratches on the victim's forearms and no evidence of strangulation. (T. 688, 706).
According to Dr. Sullenger, the victim died as a result of asphyxia due to drowning. (T. 690). The doctor also concluded that the blow to the victim's head did not occur as the result of a car accident, and that there was not enough blood present in the car to even establish that the blow to the head had occurred in the car. (T. 706, 726). Dr. Sullenger testified that it appeared the victim had been hit on the head somewhere else, then placed into the car and then driven into the creek. (T. 729). Dr. Sandra Conradi, a Forensic Pathologist employed by the
Alderman testified on his own behalf, denying completely the story told by Brown. (T. 1215-1216, 1309, 1346, 1344). Instead, Alderman testified that after an argument, both he and the victim left the apartment separately on the evening of Saturday, September 21, 1974. (T. 1273, 1275, 1332, 1334).
Alderman testified he took a bus to
As the victim had not returned to the apartment, Alderman testified that he decided to go Rincon to see the victim at her grandmother's. (T. 1284-1286, 1335). Alderman testified that while on his way to Rincon on his motorcycle, he observed his car off the bridge at Dasher's Creek. (T. 1286, 1321, 1290). Alderman stopped his motorcycle, and went down to the partially submerged car where he saw the victim. (T. 1290-1291). The car tail lights and interior lights were on, and the car door was open with the victim hanging out of the car, her face submerged in the water. (T. 1290-1292, 1336).
Alderman stated he squatted down and picked the victim's head out of the water, placing it in his lap. (T. 1292, 1336). Hearing a noise, Alderman testified he suddenly became fearful, and fled the scene. (T. 1294-95). Forgetting that he had found his wife's body, Alderman stated he then drove to
The testimony of Dr. Herbert Smith was presented at trial to confirm that Alderman had been in such shock from finding his wife's body that he left the scene and forgot about the victim's death. (T. 1035-1052). Additionally, the testimony of a number of other witnesses was presented to corroborate portions of Alderman's testimony. (T. 880-885, 1061-1067, 1090-1096, 1100-1108, 1115-1126). A number of character witnesses were also presented on behalf of Alderman. (T. 885-888, 1068-1090, 1126-1161).
Finally, the testimony of Andrew J. Ryan, III, the Assistant District Attorney who prosecuted Alderman at the first trial, was presented. (T. 1024-1034). Mr. Ryan testified that no promise of any benefit was made to John Brown in order to obtain Brown's testimony. (T. 1031-1033). As Brown himself had pointed out, not only was there no deal for his testimony, but Brown was subsequently found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. (T. 933-936).

Ok so I went to the LC yesterday afternoon, and the overall takeaway seemed to be that this is just the way things are and they aren't likely to get better.
She told me to do block feedings to reduce my supply and suggested lecithin as a supplement in case my ducts are getting clogged. We practiced latching a little, but I couldn't feel much difference between the good latch with her and my normal bad latches. She said the letdown pain I have in breast A while I feed the baby on breast B is inevitable and can't be helped. She said that when my supply is more regulated, then I wouldn't have so much achiness and sensitivity in the breast between feedings, and the letdown pain and perhaps overactive letdown will get better too. I have a hard time believing that because my breast is achy and sensitive even when it's just been drained, but I'm not sure how much of that is nipple pain. I was hoping for some kind of immediate relief, and failing that, hope, and I don't think I got that.
The LC also described what is necessary to cut milk from my diet, and I hate that idea. I don't think things are bad enough to require those desperate measures now. The baby only sometimes fusses at the breast, but doesn't fuss all day and isn't colicky.
I asked about nipple shields and she said they wouldn't help. I'd like to try them, but like you said, they shouldn't be used without guidance and support, and I don't feel I have that.
Sometimes I do have the tip of the nipple turn white. Not every time. And sometimes there's a crease in the part of the nipple where the side of the baby's mouth was, as if he's flattened it.
I guess my next question is how will I know when I should stop the block feeding and when my supply is not too much, not too little, but just right?

Ravens hope to make the most of 12 picks in draft
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens intend to turn quantity into quality in the NFL draft.
After whirlwind offseason in which the reigning Super Bowl champions lost several key contributors via retirement, trade and free agency, general manager Ozzie Newsome hopes to fill out the roster this week by making the most of 12 draft picks — including four compensatory selections and a sixth-rounder obtained from San Francisco for Anquan Boldin.
The compensatory picks, rewarded for players who defected as free agents, are all in the fourth round or later and cannot be traded.
But Newsome can do whatever he likes with the other eight selections, including the final pick in the opening round.
The Ravens need help on the back end of the defense after losing safeties Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard.

Question - to get the mineral-port bonus, do you just have to hold the two territories, or do you have to connect them? Because connecting them would make more sense, as the idea is that you're getting the goods to the port, but there are many, many possible routes in which you could connect them.
edbeard wrote:I'm not sure if you guys are on the same page.
This is my interpretation
1. Oaktown was wondering if players needed to 'connect' the ports to their Minerals by holding rail stations that make a line from Port to Mineral
2. cairswk thought he was talking about making the ports connect to each other?
I could be way off base but that's what I think you guys were talking about.
Either way, I don't like either of these ideas. 1. would be very difficult to do XML wise unless you specified the path. 2. is outside the realm of a 'rail' map
edbeard wrote:so you need to hold that direct path to get the bonus? In a couple places, it is possible to hold both the M and P territories AND connect them, but not via a direct path. Are you intending these NOT to count for a bonus?
I don't think you would be able to since the XML would probably be horrendous in a couple cases.
edbeard wrote:I think you're misunderstanding me.
I was asking if you needed specific routes (which you have provided) because in some cases, you can connect the mineral and port without taking those paths which you have specified. But, I'm guessing you will write these paths onto a legend so there is no confusion.
cairnswk wrote:Fellow Aussie Tieryn has offered to do the xml for this map, and it's OK by me.
Thanks Tieryn.
cairnswk wrote:Version 9
Some chages here:
1. taken the sleepers off the rails to re-do them
2. Increased the height to allow some more legend room and moved that around
3. INcluded all stops on long distacen trains
4. clarified port pairs a bit further
5. dulled the states bonuses
6. adding the QR to the top of northern sstations in QR...does this work for the colour-blind?

All connecting? (Just balance wise this blows my connections spreadsheet all out of proportion for ports... but it's do-able)
Adjacent Connecting? Balance wise I'd prefer this
No Connections at all? This is also perfectly acceptable for my feel of the game just by writing out all of the connections... I've done it so far as is, I'll re-check the bonus calculations tomorrow.
Can you give me a decision by tomorrow cairns? It would mean I can push ahead on the codeside.
Also, territory from WA - SA, I've not heard of Loongana, but Eucla would be the town I'd pick as being there (it's on the border of SA/WA pretty much) not sure if the rail goes there, tho I'd suspect it did... could you check up on this?
that r roughly my calc, but don't fix you on the calculated bonus he!Tieryn wrote:

Tieryn wrote:That's wrong now anyway as it uses ports as attacking each other, which isn't really -rail- Australia anyway heh... so I'll re-do it with new numbers soon.
What I was mainly looking at was the "calculated" which territory should be more and how that maps to what is... but I suspect that will change with ports gone.

Of course, mine is only one flavor of colorblindness, but the colors I have the worst time distinguishing are QRail and TasRail. Fortunately the two colors don't intersect, and the bonuses are so different that it's evident which is which, so it's not really an issue. If VicRail was a bit darker that'd set it apart a bit for me, but it's alright as is.
Overall I'd say these colors are fine for me to play with as is.

HONOLULU (AP) — Dozens of Native Hawaiian speakers expressed anger and mistrust with the federal government Monday during the first of a series of meetings that could lead to the group being recognized similarly to an American Indian tribe.
Interior Department officials hosted the public hearing, prompted by a push to include the ethnic group among the more than 560 tribes that hold such status, with federal considerations on issues from land management to social services.
The discussion didn't cover potential benefits of federal recognition for Hawaiians, as department officials said it was premature to discuss specifics. The main purpose of the hearing Monday, they said, was to listen to Native Hawaiians about whether they want to pursue an official relationship.
"I'm hearing a lot of 'No's' so far," said Sam Hirsch, an Interior Department spokesman.
About 140 speakers opposed the move, with many saying it would be a barrier to their goal of returning the Hawaiian Islands to the indigenous community that ruled before Hawaii became the nation's 50th state.
"We do not need you here. This is our country," said Ao Pohaku Ku, of the Spiritual Nation of Ku Hui Ea Council of Sovereigns.
The emotional hearing at the Hawaii Capitol was punctuated by outbursts from those shouting that representatives from the Department of the Interior weren't welcome.
For more than a decade, former U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka pushed in Congress for federal recognition. And many Native Hawaiians have urged for such status, to protect locally established school and land rights.
Colette Machado, chairwoman of Hawaii's Office of Hawaiian Affairs, spoke to "strongly urge the federal government move forward with a process" of recognition. But, she said while detractors shouted over her, "I also urge that it be a pathway that is open to us, but that the decision of when and how to walk down that path is left to our people."
Other speakers, however, voiced suspicion and called for autonomy.
"We're not subservient," said Leona Kalima, who has challenged the state over Native Hawaiian land rights. "We're not stupid anymore. We cannot trust."
Federal officials said after the meeting the feedback was important. They encouraged more participation through written comments and attendance at hearings over the next two weeks.
"We want the broadest possible public input," Hirsch said. "This is just the start of a long and extensive public input process."

TM Wave Propagation in Optical Nanostructures with a Third-Order Nonlinear Response: Modeling and Validation with COMSOLA. Kildishev[1], E. E. Narimanov[1]

An enhanced method is used for analysis of third-order nonlinearities in optical nanostructures with scalar TM (H-field) frequency domain formulation. After embedding it in COMSOL Multiphysics it is shown to produce fast and accurate results without superfluous vector E-field formalism. A standard TM representation based on cubic non-linear susceptibility χ(3) results in an intractable implicit equation, but our technique alleviates this problem. In addition to a universal approach, simpler, more efficient solutions are proposed for media with χ(3) having solely either the real part (lossless Kerr-type medium) or the imaginary part (non-linear absorbing medium).
