American Secretary-of-State Colin Powell's decision to describe the conflict in Darfur as a "genocide" [1] is set to damage prospects for peace in the Sudan. This is for several reasons. This action will damage Sudan's faith in the Bush Administration as an honest broker in securing peace in Sudan, either in southern Sudan or Darfur itself. For Washington to chose to put electoral expediency – diverting media attention away from the Iraq fiasco and pandering to anti-Sudanese and anti-Arab pressure group politics – before the truth of the situation in Darfur will dramatically undermine its reputation.
The American declaration on genocide jars with other, more trusted, positions on the issue. Mr Jean-Hervé Bradol, head of Médecins Sans Frontières, for example, has stated that the use of the term genocide is "inappropriate". Mr Bradol said: "Our teams have not seen evidence of the deliberate intention to kill people of a specific group." [2] Mr Bradol's observations echoed those made in April 2004 by Dr Mercedes Taty, the deputy emergency director of Médecins Sans Frontières. Dr Taty worked with 12 expatriate doctors and 300 Sudanese nationals in field hospitals set up in the towns of Mornay, El Genina and Zalinge in Darfur. Asked about claims of genocide, her answer was blunt: "I don't think that we should be using the word 'genocide' to describe this conflict. Not at all. This can be a semantic discussion, but nevertheless, there is no systematic target – targeting one ethnic group or another one. It doesn't mean either that the situation in Sudan isn't extremely serious by itself." Dr Taty also questioned claims of "ethnic cleansing". [3]
Washington's hypocrisy is all too obvious.
The Bush Administration's previous commitment to ending the long-running civil war in southern Sudan is now also being called into question. It had been assumed that the Sudan policy of the Bush White House differed from the Clinton Administration's active efforts to militarily and politically destabilise Khartoum. Former President Jimmy Carter, for example, has clearly criticised American obstruction throughout the 1990s of attempts to peacefully resolve the Sudanese civil war:
"The people in Sudan want to resolve the conflict. The biggest obstacle is US government policy. The US is committed to overthrowing the government in Khartoum. Any sort of peace effort is aborted, basically by policies of the United States…Instead of working for peace in Sudan, the US government has basically promoted a continuation of the war." [4]
Choosing to work for peace rather than war the Bush White House tested the Sudanese government's commitment to ending the war in the south and found Khartoum as good as its word. From 2002 onwards Washington's constructive engagement in Sudan saw the unfolding of a remarkably successful peace process, one that has resulted in unprecedented steps towards a comprehensive peace agreement.
It would appear that having realised that Washington would not be able to reap the electoral benefits of being seen to have brought peace to southern Sudan, because the final peace agreement may not be signed until after the election – and in any instance the Darfur crisis has reduced whatever political advantage there may have been in having secured a solitary foreign policy success – the Bush Administration is now choosing to play up the Darfur crisis in an attempt to divert media coverage of the continuing and deepening Iraq crisis.
In so doing Washington has caused considerable suspicion as to ulterior motives. It has not gone unnoticed, for example, that the genocide declaration has echoed one of the ways in which the Clinton White House obstructed peace in the 1990s which was by interfering with peace talks between the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and Khartoum. As one example, the Clinton Administration chose to impose comprehensive economic sanctions on Sudan in November 1997 just as the government and rebels had started a key round of peace talks in Nairobi. Doubtlessly bolstered by this American signal, SPLA leader John Garang, commenting on these talks in Nairobi, stated that "We intended not to reach an agreement with the [Sudanese government]. This is what we did and we succeeded in it because we did not reach an agreement." Secretary Powell's decision to describe events in Darfur as "genocide" starkly mirrors the Clinton White House's timing on imposing economic sanctions. The Government and the two Darfur rebel groups are in the midst of crucial peace negotiations in Nigeria, attempting to resolve the world's most serious humanitarian crisis. These talks, brokered by the African Union, are aimed at resolving the 18-month old conflict in Darfur. Agence France Presse has described how the rebel groups have backtracked on earlier promises made to the Nigerian president, the African Union and the UN "to push forward with negotiations". [5] Coming as it did in the midst of these talks, Powell's comments have made the rebels even more intransigent. [6]
In a further attempt to boost continuing media coverage of Darfur Washington has also sought UN sanctions to interfere with Sudanese oil exports. Given that the issue of wealth-sharing – specifically of oil revenues – between north and southern Sudan has been so pivotal to the delicate Sudanese peace process, American attempts to cut away the only real way open to the Sudanese people of developing themselves and building on peace in Sudan clearly demonstrates crass misjudgement in yet another foreign policy issue by the Bush Administration. [7]
In putting American votes before Sudanese peace, in both western and southern Sudan, Washington is playing a very dangerous game indeed.

John Kerry says that President Obama offered him the secretary of state job a week before Susan Rice publicly pulled out of the running for the job.
"He called me, actually a week before Susan got out of the thing," Kerry tells the Boston Globe. "He called me and said, 'You're my choice. I want you to do this.' He asked me to keep it quiet. I did. I sat on it."
At the time, Rice pulling out of the running for the top State Department job suggested that the position had simply fallen to Kerry, who had been in a neck-and-neck competition for the job. Now it seems that the White House allowed Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, to publicly save face by publicly withdrawing from a job that was never going to be offered to her in the first place.
Rice had come under fire for misleading the American public about what really happened in the terror attack against Americans on September 11 in Benghazi, Libya.

Underground Railroad Reenactment During Field Trip Enrages Parents
A Connecticut school is facing backlash from parents following a controversial school trip that took place last year.
James and Sandra Baker, parents of a student at Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy, said that their daughter was forced to participate in an uncomfortable presentation about slavery.
Testifying at a Hartford Board of Education hearing on Tuesday night–as the Hartford Court reported–the Bakers said that during the "Underground Railroad Reenactment" activity on their then-7th-grader's class field trip, students were called the "N-word." They also said that the children had to pretend to be "picking cotton, like a real slave," hold their heads down and "not make eye contact with the white masters."
The Bakers said that the reenactment was incredibly traumatizing for the child, who is black. They've been fighting the school's decision to participate in the program ever since, according to Hartford's WFSB.
The field trip took place at Nature's Classroom, a 40-year-old residential environmental education program.
Sandra Baker testified that reenactment was so realistic that, at some points, her daughter "did not know if the leaders were joking," and said she was particularly troubled because, "as an African American parent, I carefully consider how my children receive messages about racial identity." According to WFSB, the Bakers had previously filed complaints with Connecticut's Department of Education, Commission on Human Rights, and Office for Civil Rights.
The Baker family isn't the first to express concern about Nature's Clasroom. In 2008, a Nature's Classroom field trip sparked a similar debate in western Massachusetts when Jefferson Street School fifth graders participated in the Underground Railroad activity, according to Teaching Tolerance, a magazine published by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Parents of Jefferson student Maya Saakvitne, who is also black, were upset that white facilitators played the role of "masters" and "bounty hunters." At the time, Gwen Agna, principal of Jefferson Street School, told Tolerance that "at least 50 percent of graduating 6th graders cite their Nature's Classroom trip, specifically the Underground Railroad activity, as one of their favorite school experiences."
Nature's Classroom is a longstanding program that has received several educational awards for its programs.
John Santos, the Executive Director of Nature's Classroom, told The Huffington Post that, while he regrets that the Baker's child had such a negative experience, "we are not in the business of creating harm, physically or emotionally but the legitimacy of the activity needs to be judged by individual participants at all grade levels." He also pointed out that the Underground Railroad activity is just one of over 500 programs available; the school chose to participate in it.

Russian Cyber Expert: Hackers Could Shut Down Power In Most Of The World In A Decade
From: Reuters
Uncontrolled security threats on the Internet could return much of the planet to an era without electricity or automated transportation, top U.S. and Russian experts said on Thursday.
Former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden warned that the United States had yet to resolve basic questions about how to police the Internet, let alone how to defend critical infrastructure such as electric generation plants.
And if recently discovered and government-sponsored intrusion software proliferates in the same way that viruses have in the past, "somewhere in 2020, maybe 2040, we'll get back to a romantic time – no power, no cars, no trains," said Eugene Kaspersky, chief executive officer of Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab, the largest privately held security vendor.
The back-to-back presentations at a Washington conference painted the starkest picture to date about the severity of the cybersecurity problem.
The past two years have seen an escalation of such warnings, especially about what U.S. officials have termed an unprecedented theft of trade secrets and, more lately, mounting threats to infrastructure.
At the same time, Congress failed last month to pass legislation aimed at protecting vital facilities, which Hayden bemoaned, and Kaspersky earlier this year detected extremely sophisticated surveillance programs that infiltrated personal computers and energy facilities in the Middle East.
If previous viruses were like bicycles, Kaspersky said, then the Stuxnet worm that damaged uranium enrichment centrifuges at the Natanz plant in Iran two years ago would be a plane, and the latest programs, dubbed Flame and Gauss, would be "space shuttles."
Researchers are still dissecting those heavily encrypted viruses. Kaspersky and others say they are related to Stuxnet, which officials have privately admitted was designed by U.S. and Israel intelligence forces.
But Kaspersky said Stuxnet, Flame and Gauss would become templates.
Although Stuxnet infected thousands of machines in friendly nations, it was written by cautious "professionals" who minimized collateral damage, Kaspersky said at the Billington Cybersecurity Summit at the National Press Club. The knock-off versions by others will be much less discriminating, he added.
To show how quickly computer attacks can proliferate, Kaspersky said an electronic assault that disabled thousands of computers at Saudi Arabia's Aramco in mid-August had followed a separate infection reported by an Iranian oil company a few months ago.
Mounting a defense against nation-sponsored attacks will be extraordinarily difficult, Kaspersky said, as it requires new operating systems designed to manage equipment at crucial facilities. He said stopping criminals and terrorists who will adopt the same techniques would take strong international cooperation and deeper monitoring of the Internet, which many oppose on privacy grounds.
"We need to upgrade our understanding that the world is different," Kaspersky said. "We need to pay more attention to the critical information technology security issues."
Yet Kaspersky and Hayden said international treaties or even nonbinding agreements were nowhere in sight.
What is more, Hayden said, both the divided U.S. Congress and even different agencies within the executive branch have failed to reach a consensus on fundamental concepts, in part because the issues are still so new.
A Senate bill backed by President Barack Obama would have set voluntary cybersecurity standards for critical plants and allowed for greater information-sharing between intelligence agencies and private companies. But the bill encountered opposition from both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which objected to additional regulation, and the American Civil Liberties Union, which was worried about privacy issues.
The White House is now developing an executive order that would not go so far, but it still wants more powerful laws.
Even inside the administration, Hayden said, the Defense Department has defined cyberspace as a warfare domain that it must "dominate," while the Department of Homeland Security has publicly disagreed.
A core problem is that the same communications networks are used both for military operations and civilian transactions, which are protected from unreasonable searches.
While most Americans would welcome a local police officer shining a light at a shrub in their yard after seeing something suspicious, almost no one would feel the same way about questionable Internet activity.
The National Security Agency has the most advanced capabilities for cyberattacks and defense in the world, Hayden said.
"It is awesome," he said. "But nobody there has the authorization to defend you," because the NSA is generally barred from domestic eavesdropping.
As governments and companies recognize that they have all been hacked and focus more on limiting the damage from breaches, Hayden called for more extensive debate from civilians on how the United States should treat the Internet.
"You and I have not yet given our government guidance about what we want it to do," he said.

2020 Honda Insight Changes
The big change for today's Honda Insight is it deserting the cool liftback appearance and relocating to the Honda Civic platform with Honda Accord styling hints.

2020 Honda Insight Interior
Inside, the tidy and conservative styling continues for the Insight. In short supply of the economy gauge, there's little to advise you this can be a state-of-the-art amazed vehicle.

Such as the exterior , we anticipate the essential interior design to bring to the 2020 Honda Insight without the changes.

If this holds true, it can come basic with 16-inch wheels, LED headlights, a 5-inch speakers screen, Bluetooth, a USB port, keyless ignition, fabric upholstery, and more.

Together, these systems press 151 hp and 197 pound-feet of torque to the leading wheels without the aid of a transmission. While this powertrain won't do much in relation to efficiency, it offers as much as 55 miles per gallon city, 49 highway, and 52 integrated.
The new-generation Honda Insight got the IIHS'leading honors as a Top Safety Pick+ because of its high-level crash tests and basic automated emergency situation braking. Other basic security devices on today's Insight includes lane-keep help, traffic indication acknowledgment, and automated headlights. We anticipate the security features and scores to keep the exact same on the 2020 Insight.
2020 Honda Insight Price and Release Date
There's no main release date for the 2020 Honda Insight , however we anticipate a summertime 2019 launching if it follows the present model's schedule.
Without the changes in the works, we anticipate the 2020 Honda Insight's MSRP to keep close to the 2019 model's rate variety of $23,725 to $28,985 (location charges consisted of).

The UFC has booked a fight for the third time.
After two previous bookings fell apart, UFC officials today announced a middleweight fight between veterans Jorge Rivera (19-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) and Alessio Sakara (15-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC).
It'll take place at a currently unannounced UFC 133 event expected for August.
The event could take place at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Aug. 6, though officials haven't confirmed any details. The event is expected to air on pay-per-view.
The Rivera-Sakara fight was slated for UFC 118, but Rivera was forced off the card with a broken arm. Then a UFC 122 matchup was scratched when flu-like symptoms forced Sakara off the card.
Rivera looks to rebound from a February loss to contender Michael Bisping. Rivera, who was slowed by an accidental low blow, waged a trash-talking campaign ahead of the UFC 127 co-headliner but ultimately suffered a second-round TKO defeat. Prior to the loss, he entered title contention with four victories in five UFC fights. Three of the victories (over Kendall Grove, Rob Kimmons and Nate Quarry) came via knockout.
Sakara, meanwhile, saw a recent three-fight win streak come to an end with a unanimous-decision loss to late replacement Chris Weidman at UFC on Versus 3. Prior to the defeat, the Italian striker strung together consecutive wins over Joe Vedepo, Thales Leites and James Irvin.
For the latest on UFC 133, stay to tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

HOWARD, Wis. — Mitt Romney bristled at a question Monday about his Mormon faith as it relates to an issue of race before returning to the issue of his beliefs.
Romney engaged in two separate exchanges at a town hall event here — one tense, the other empathetic — that shed light on arguably one of the most poorly understood elements of the former Massachusetts governor's personal biography.
The first exchange occurred when Bret Hatch, a 28-year-old supporter of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, haltingly attempted to quote a passage from Mormon scripture which dealt with race, before being prodded by Romney to ask an actual question.
"I'm sorry, we're just not going to have a discussion about religion in my view, but if you have a question, I'll be happy to answer your question," Romney said.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"I guess my question is — do you believe it's a sin for a white man to marry and procreate with a black?" Hatch asked.
"No. Next question," Romney responded tersely, turning his back to Hatch and looking for another raised hand.
Romney is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly referred to as the Mormon or LDS church. His family is steeped in the history of the LDS church, and Romney has long been involved in church affairs, including serving as a missionary in France as a young man.
On the stump, however, Romney rarely discusses his faith or his religion, preferring to stay focused on matters of policy and the economy. The largest single exception to this rule was a speech Romney gave in December of 2007, in which the former Massachusetts governor strongly defended his belief in what he called the "faith of my fathers" and praised America's core beliefs in the importance of religious tolerance.
When Romney's religion has become a political topic this election cycle, it has rarely been to his benefit. Most notably, in October, an evangelical pastor from Dallas labeled Mormonism a "cult" during a speech in Washington D.C. — leading to countless stories and questions about what Romney truly believed, effectively jarring the candidate off of his core message for days.
With that in mind, it might have seemed unlikely for Romney to pivot back toward discussing his faith after the initial question.Video: Wisconsin, Maryland, D.C. cast primary votes (on this page)
But a few minutes after the first exchange, in response to a question about whether or not Romney is out of touch with average voters, Romney returned to the issue of his faith, telling his audience that his time as a local LDS ward leader and then stake-president in Massachusetts allowed him to work hands-on with regular folks who needed help:
I've had an unusual experience. This gentleman wanted to talk about the doctrines of my religion. I'll talk about the practices of my faith. I had the occasion in my church to be asked to be the pastor, if you will, of a congregation," Romney said. "I've served in that kind of role for about 10 years. And that gave me the occasion to work with people on a very personal basis that were dealing with unemployment, with marital difficulties, with health difficulties of their own and with their kids."
Most Americans, by the way, are carrying a burden of some kind. We don't see it, we see someone on the street, they smile and say 'Hello,' but behind them they are carrying a bag of rocks. It may be their own health difficulties. It may be concern about a job, it may be inability to pay for the home or the college they were hoping to pay for for a child. But people have burdens in this country, and when you get a chance to know people on a very personal basis, whether you're serving as a pastor or as a counselor or in other kinds of roles, you understand that every kind of person you see is facing some challenges. And one of the reasons I'm running for president of the United States is I want to help people, I want to lighten those burdens.
Romney also used the experience of his wife, Ann, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, to further make a connection with his audience.
"My good wife, I mean, you see her, she's beautiful, she's energetic, articulate, but you know, she has MS, and she also had to fight breast cancer. And I watched her as a person with great strength and capacity," Romney said. "You don't always see the things that are happening in people's lives, and yet, she wants to help people, and to reach out to those that are facing some difficulty."

On December 3, 2007, Brenda Jeanne Wyche, Managing Editor of The Black Star News, Harlem Business News, and CEO of Winning Strategies & Associates, LLC, launched the Money Maker Club for Start Ups and Emerging Small Business. The initiative of the program is to help put a jumpstart on stagnant businesses and help people who are interested in starting their own business as well as entrepreneurs who want their existing businesses to grow.
"We are inviting everyone who is starting a new business or trying to develop and grow an existing small business to come together and learn how to actually make money with your business by systematically following the steps that lead us to the money. We are going to begin by writing our own business plan. I already have experts in place to help us.
"Write Your Own Business Plan -- Taking It To The Bank' is first in a series of workshops that the Money Makers Club will be presenting. This will be a FREE full-day interactive workshop where everyone who participates will write their own business plan outline with the help of business expert and former bank VP, Mark Davis, Greg Jones, VP of USA Closers Inc. www.usaclosers.com , and author of the best selling e-book, 'Guerrilla Credit Guide, (How To Jumpstart Your Cash Flow And Rapidly Turn Your Passion Into a Cash Explosion),' and his new book, 'Winning the Credit Game,' Joe Nunziata http://www.jnunziata.com , author of "Spiritual Selling," whom I call, 'Mr. Amazing.' Joe will change your life before you even leave the shop -- that man is like raging fire. Another incredible instructor, Andrew Morrison, CEO of Small Business Camp, who teaches how to start and/or grow your own business in 90 days http://www.90dayplan.com/index.htm and author of "21 Questions That Can Build Your Business in 90 Days," will be with us, Networking guru, Phil Andrews http://www.powernetworkingseries.com will be our moderator. Phil has an amazing knack for connecting people with valuable business relationships that often develop into lasting friendships. At the end of this workshop, everyone who participates will leave with a winning business plan outline and get to meet our esteemed instructors. We're working on refreshments for the event and some other goodies," stated Wyche.
"Milton (ALLIMADI, PUBLISHER OF BLACK STAR NEWS AND HARLEM BUSINESS NEWS) and I are on a relentless mission for empowerment of hard working people who are struggling to even feed their families or keep a roof over their heads. There is no such thing as middle class in this day and age. You're either rich or you're poor. Happily, nowadays, you can combine a good plan with a bit of talent, strong perseverance, savvy and a little luck (short formula), and create a whole new life for yourself. But success is not for the lazy. It takes a lot of work, planning, determination and discipline, positive people around you, and KNOCK, KNOCK, you have to 'recognize opportunity when it knocks and grab it by the horns (I got that last one from The Donald)," Wyche continued.
"I will share the truth about making money and business plans exposed," stated Greg Jones who also contributed a seven part business series to The Black Star News entitled, "Capital Insight."
The workshop will take place at the Brooklyn Public Library, Bedford Branch, located at 496 Franklin Avenue, off Fulton Street Brooklyn, New York. "It's a really nice, light, airy and pleasant place. I'm very excited about this and I look forward to meeting lots of cool people with a passion and a dream and the will to succeed."
"The Winning Strategies & Associates' Money Maker Series is a valuable resource that can significantly impact the attendees' bottom line and day to day business operations in a very positive way," says PR professional, Phil Andrews.
Participants are strongly advised to bring pertinent information about your business, as you will need it to help you complete your business plan outline. "The Money Makers' Club Business Plan Workshop is for everyone who wants to win and have fun doing it," Wyche concluded.

Stem Cell scientists in Australia have found that patients suffering from hearing problems which began during infancy and childhood could benefit from a transplant of stem cells from their nose. The research, published today in Stem Cells, reveals that mucosa-derived stem cells can help preserve hearing function during the early-onset of sensorineural hearing loss.
Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by the loss of sensory cells or neurons in the cochlea, the sensory organ of the inner ear responsible for hearing. The condition can have genetic causes, often arising during infancy and childhood, hindering cognitive development and leading to speech and language problems.
"One of the challenges in tackling this condition is that the regenerative ability of the human cochlea is severely limited", said lead author Dr. Sharon Oleskevich from the Hearing Research Group at The University of New South Wales. "It has been proposed that the transplantation of cells from other parts of the body could treat, prevent or even reverse hearing loss. The transplanted cells have the potential to repair tissue by replacing damaged cells and enhancing the survival of existing cells, preventing the condition from developing further."
To investigate the effects of this treatment, nasal stem cells were injected into the cochlea of mice displaying symptoms of hearing loss. Mice were chosen for this treatment as they display a similar decline in hearing function following infancy.
"The authors have used an interesting type of adult stem cell, related to mesenchymal stem cells, to reduce the extent of hearing loss. Since the cells did not integrate into the cochlea, it is likely that the effects from the adult stem cells were due to the release of factors to preserve function of the endogenous stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are known to provide factors to keep many types of cells healthy and functioning," said Jan Nolta, Associate Editor of Stem Cells.
Patient hearing levels were examined using the auditory brainstem response assay, which determines the lowest sound level to which the brain responds, known as the hearing threshold.
The mice which received the transplanted cells were compared to mice who had not received the treatment a month later, revealing that the hearing threshold level in stem cell-transplanted mice was significantly lower.
"The results demonstrate a significant effect of nasal stem cell transplantations for sensorineural hearing loss," concluded Oleskevich. "These cells can be obtained easily from the nasal cavity making this transplantation a potential treatment for other human conditions including Parkinson's disease and cardiac infarction."

Nassau girls basketball preview 2011-12
Reigning Long Island champion Baldwin is the favorite in Class AA. Seniors Alex Hampton (point guard) and Janae DeGraff (center) are returning starters for the Bruins and senior guards Amber Harrison and Ayanna Hudson will also play big roles. Sophomore Mariyah Butler will be an important new comer to Tom Catapano's squad, which is aiming for its third straight county title.
Massapequa returns 10 players including four starters. Juniors Morgan Roessler and Danielle Doherty are joined by sophomore Lauren VanBuren and senior Nicole Scicutella. The Chiefs will have competition in Conference I from Farmingdale, Freeport and Uniondale.
Farmingdale has three starters returning on an athletic, physical, defense-first squad. Seniors Colleen Reynolds, Kim Kolodny and Kaitlin Gaghan and junior guards Alexis Panariello and Nadine Hadnagy are joined by eight new players.
The top competition for Baldwin in Conference II is MacArthur. Senior forward Vanessa Wyckoff and juniors Jena Cozza (guard) and Courtney Noakes (forward) are returning starters for the Generals.
Uniondale lost only one player to graduation and has juniors Jayda Hyatt and Aliyah McDonald among the returning players.
Mepham and Elmont will battle it out once again in Conference III along with Herricks, which moves in from AA-II last year.
Mepham senior guard Kristen O'Brien is coming off ACL surgery last year and is approaching her 1,000th career point. Junior Nicole Castaldo will be on the inside of the Pirates all-guard lineup.
Seniors Goldie Harrison, Bria Fisher and Kyla Ridley and junior Cassandra Chery are returning starters for Elmont.
The competition will be fierce in the top-heavy Class A.
Senior point guard and three-sport star Amanda Johansen leads a North Shore squad with high expectations. Junior Erin Sheerin and freshman Alex Cantwell will also run the point in the 'System' and seniors Bridget Lincoln and Nicole Scuderi will supply offense on the wings for the Vikings' offense which has yet to stride from three-point range.
Defending Long Island champion Garden City returns eight of its top nine players -- that's the good news. The bad news for the Trojans is the one player not returning is three sport superstar Barbara Sullivan, Newsday's 2010 Nassau Player of the Year. Garden City's four returning starters are Christina Mangels on the inside, sharpshooter Kim Ryan on the wing, guard Jess Stein and forward Katie Trimmer.
Manhasset has been a pleasant surprise this season, already earning a big win over Garden City. Senior guard Halle Majorana, a Maryland-commit in lacrosse, and freshman Jacqueline Albanese look to have the Indians poised to challenge Lynbrook in A-III.
Brooke Gerstman leads county semifinalist Lynbrook. The senior point guard has already notched her 1,000th career point this year and is arguably the best public-school player in Nassau. Junior Danielle Amaya is going to be the second option on the Owls' offense which lost center Jen Fay in a transfer to Nazareth.
New Hyde Park had senior point guard Kristen Korzeinski transfer in from Holy Trinity and she has been pouring in the points thus far, scoring no less than 28 in her five games played. Senior forward Victoria Lofaro and freshman Laila Chadli will also contribute for the Gladiators.
Senior guard Tara Basile helps lead Wantagh who has a matchup advantage at center with 6-3 freshman Alex Parlato.
Sewanhaka is off to a good start and could be the favorite in A-II with junior Rachel Wisniewski and senior Celine Jolicoeur.
County finalist Division lost its top seven players to graduation. Susan Ballantyne leads the Blue Dragons, who are off to a roller coaster start with wins over Uniondale and Class B-champion Cold Spring Harbor and losses to Wantagh and Seaford.
South Side is a balanced squad which could challenge for a playoff spot out of A-I.
Cold Spring Harbor returns all major contributors from last year's county Class B championship team. Seniors Gabbie Doria and Kelly Gubitosi provide the inside presence with juniors Kelly Vassallo and Katie Durand on the wings for the Seahawks.
Senior center Jill Flecker and junior guard Samantha Burden are the top returnees for Carle Place.
Olivia McCracken is off to a great start for Wheatley.
Friends Academy and East Rockaway are the lone Class C schools in Nassau. The Quakers are led by sisters Rose and Margot Mangiarotti and Kristina Kim. Shannan Pujol will help guide the Rocks.

"Here is a lovely message that I have just received from Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie...
Hi David and Sharon hope you are both well, as you know we are in South America now and today we have a day off, which we do not get very often as normally our days off means a travel day to the next city. But what can I say about the South American people!!! They are fantastic and definitely the biggest partying crowd I have seen since the last time I was here six years ago.
We started in Argentina after a 15 hour stint on the plane that drained all the band and crew of the energy that they had left, we just chilled out for the rest of the day and got ourselves ready for the gig the next day. The crowd went berserk when we came on and they did not stop dancing until we came off, it was definitely an emotional moment.
I would like to say that on behalf of the band Argentina you guys rock until the break the break of dawn and that is literally as well. Also the promoters in BA were fantastic and I would love to say a big thank you to those guys and all at the Faena hotel thank you so much for making our stay a FANTASTIC one. Swiftly moving on to the gig we played really well considering the jet lag thing and I think honestly that we will be back next year for more gigs in BA.
On to the lovely Sao Paolo, well this gig was fantastic again considering the time we have taken to get back. We played really well and the people here also are so warm and welcoming. We got on stage and even though acoustically I did not have the best sounding gig. It was one of our best performances. We went through the songs and tried to keep it on a high and entertaining. The crowd rocked and I am positive they loved it.
We had another gig day yesterday in Rio and my goodness these guys took the roof off. Fantastic crowd here in Rio and the gig went well. We played through the songs cosmic girl seven days 2001 which incidentally we have reworked a bit is a more rocky than normal. The chorus we play is definitely funky with the backing vocalists doing there chic cheer stylee on it. Poor Hazel one of our backing vocalists has had a cold for the past week and had to struggle through the gigs so they have been running on 90% power for the past two gigs. But Rio seemed to see them come through fantastically last night!!!!!!
Oh and getting back to the songs we played you give me something, deeper underground, don't give hate a chance, canned heat, revolution and some more stuff also.
Matt played a fantastic solo last night in dynamite, and rob as always rips it to pieces. Sola, Paul and myself we just grooving like there is no tomorrow. But all in all the shows here have been really really good.
Like I said we have a day off today and everybody seems to be physically exhausted from the exertions of the gigs. But hey its only rock and roll and we love it!!!!!!!!!!
See you all very very soon we love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"and I think honestly that we will be back next year for more gigs in BA"
¡¡Por favor que asàsea!!

Social Startup FirstJob Aims at Entry-Level Career Seekers
I remember my first job after college. I made a little more than nine dollars an hour, pouring nonfat lattes and cleaning up spills.
For me, that was fine. But for Eyal Grayevsky, a business adminstration graduate of CU Boulder, along with others coming out of school with tens of thousands in debt, that may not be the case.
Like so many other graduates, Grayevsky had a tough time finding relevant work after school, despite his professional degree. And most of the positions he kept finding after visiting resources like Monster.com and CareerBuilder were for positions far out of reach, tailored for people much further along in their careers. There were occasional gems — entry-level positions he'd go for — but surfacing them amid all the rest was annoying and time-consuming.
"I didn't know where to start," Grayevsky said. "For people like me, there's no one central place to go." So, instead of searching until he found the perfect job site, he created it.
It's called FirstJob, a fairly simple portal for twentysomethings looking for entry-level work that's actually relevant to their chosen career path. The site is something of an amalgam of familiar social destinations: FirstJob connects to LinkedIn and Facebook and pulls your data from those sites, automatically creating a profile for first-time users. From there, you're able to ask for things similar to what LinkedIn offers — asking a friend to "vouch" for one of your skills is tantamount to a LinkedIn "endorsement," or more generally a Facebook "Like."
What Grayevsky and his small team of engineers pride themselves on, however, is their data. FirstJob crawls the Web in search of open APIs from other job portals, collecting all of the relevant postings and filtering out other types, like high-experience positions or service-level and retail jobs. The result, in theory, is a finer-tuned database of pertinent postings for first-time seekers.
The connections to social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn matter. Job searches carried out on FirstJob take into account your existing network of connections, and give more visibility to job openings where you may already know two or three people working at the company. So, if I type in "designer" into the search field, I may see some open slots over at Microsoft first, where I know four or five Facebook friends who happen to work there. Ideally, you leverage your personal connections for a better chance at scoring the job.
You'll note that that whole scenario is imperfect. I, like many others, have accepted Facebook and LinkedIn requests from scores of people whom I consider relatively "weak ties," folks I may have come across in my professional or personal life at some point. They're certainly not all people who would vouch for me were I to apply for a job, or even folks I'd necessarily feel comfortable asking about a possible job opening.
But Grayevsky's point remains: If you can find those basic connections in the first place, it's a better lead than you'd have on, say, a Monster or Craigslist.
It's worrisome to think that at some point Facebook or LinkedIn could cut FirstJob off from API access. After all, helping people find jobs is part of LinkedIn's very purpose, and Facebook has signaled in the past that it, too, intends to dabble in the job-hunting space. And neither company is afraid of snipping access to potential competitors.
Grayevsky doesn't seem concerned. "I don't foresee us getting cut off, but it's not a major feature we're relying on, and it's not the end of the world if we do get cut off," he said.
The team hopes to add additional social features, like Q&A sections for specific career-related topics. But for now they're focused on expanding the company's presence by hiring paid "ambassadors" to represent FirstJob at career fairs on college campuses around the country. The site opens widely on Monday, with updates in the weeks to come.

Let me welcome both of you to the show this morning to talk
About what I consider a very, very important topic of the Harlem Renaissance
But before we get into that
[Verse 1: Immortal Technique]
Harlem once was red line district rated
Designated ghetto like the yellow star of David
And you wonder why people don't own their homes
Cause the racist bank wouldn't fucking mortgage a loan
Until after the invasion of gentrification
Eminent domain intimidation
That's not negotiation, and it's frustrating to look at
Every day, like watching a porno, on 56k
Biohazard labs instead of storerooms
Whats next motherfucker, projects as dorm rooms
You ain't fooling nobody in this community duke
With your little fake Manhattanville community group
Ivy League, real estate firms are corrupt
They lay siege to your castle like the Moors in Europe
They treat street vendors like criminal riffraff
While politicians get the corporate kickback
Harlem Renaissance, a revolution betrayed
Modern day slaves, thinkin' that the ghetto is saved
Till they start deporting people off the property
Ethnically cleansing the hood, economically
They wanna kill the real Harlem Renaissance
Tryna put the Virgin Mary through an early menopause
The savior is a metaphor for how we set it off
Guerrilla war against the rezoning predators
[Verse 2: Immortal Technique]
When I speak about Harlem I speak to the world
The little Afghan boy and the Bosnian girl
The African of Sudan, the people of Kurdistan
The third world American, indigenous man
Palestinians, Washington Heights Dominicans
Displaced New Orleans citizens
Beach front Brazilian favelas that you livin' in
The hood is prime real estate, they want back in again
I didn't write this to talk shit, I say it because
Some of ya'll forgot what the Harlem Renaissance was
We had revolution, music, and artisans
But the movement was still fucked up like Parkinson's
Cause while we were giving birth to the culture we love
Prejudice kept our own people outta the club
Only colored celebrities in the party
And left us a legacy of false superiority
W.E.B. Du Bois versus Marcus Garvey
And we ended up, selling out to everybody
The Dutch Schultz and John Gotti's
Banksters, modern day gangsters
Immobile army
They wanna move us all out the NYC
Like they did to the Jews
With the Alhambra Decree
So support your own businesses and do the knowledge
Cause the real Harlem Renaissance is economic
When they were saying it is the renaissance of Harlem
They didn't mean that we had stake in that
They meant to say that they could make money out of us
They are coming in with all kinds of prejudices
In Brooklyn they're doing the same thing
In Queens they're doing the same thing
The Bronx, there's hardly any place which is affordable
I mean those people are putting up condominiums which start from a million dollars
How many people in this community make that kind of money
How many people HAVE that kind of money
People of Harlem, they are the natural allies of the oppressed people of the world
Whether the struggle is in Panama, in Africa, Cuba
We spend money with the wrong people
We are looking for love with people
Who don't love us
What's wrong with loving each other and making sure we are protected
Immortal Technique talks about the gentrification of Harlem and some of the history of the city. Immortal Technique used to live in Harlem.

How To Use The Biggest Covert Persuasion Technique To Attract Women
This blog post is about this somewhat mysterious technique called Fractionation. It was invented by the Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) guru John Grinder and expanded into what it is today by Derek Rake. What's interesting about this technique is that it was said to be the "hidden pattern" that masters use in order to boost their seduction abilities.
A few of these "forbidden patterns" such as the October Man Sequence (Google it) and the Death Pattern are based on fractionation. Derek Rake himself experimented and created a specialized version known as the Fractionation Formula.
Fractionation is a subset of the bigger group of persuasion and hypnosis techniques, and has similar structure with common NLP tactics. First spread by gurus in the seduction underground, the tactic created a stir when first exposed to the outside world (primarily through Neil Strauss and his New York Times bestseller, The Game). Since then, there has been a mad scramble to find out what this technique is all about.
The legend has it that a master practitioner of this technique would be able to seduce any woman super quickly – sometimes in the manner of 15 minutes or even less. This is astoundingly powerful, and when compared to other seduction methods which would take many months to work, this is a major breakthrough in seduction knowledge.
The Controversy: Why Fractionation Was A "Banned" Pattern
A few years back, the usage of fractionation was limited and well guarded – simply because it was seen as a technique which could "harm" women (emotionally at least). Now that the knowledge is public, there exists a danger where this technique could potentially be misused by irresponsible people. That's why the definitive resource on the technique, the Fractionation Formula, is limited in circulation.
If you're a woman and you're here because you're wondering why you seemed to have fallen head over heels in love with a man (despite only knowing him for a short time), it could be that you have been "Fractionation-ized". See this email screen capture below (taken from http://www.fractionationformula.com) –
Emails like this made Derek Rake restrict the availability of the Formula!
How You Can (Best) Use Fractionation To Seduce Women (Effortlessly!)
In summary, Fractionation Seduction is the usage of psychology and persuasion techniques in rapport building with women. What makes it different from other types of seduction techniques is that fractionation works in a more "covert" way – it uses subconscious signals that "hacks" into a woman's mind and places attraction "triggers" inside her.
Imagine meeting a girl that you instantly get attracted to – you know, the one with big, brown eyes, cute face and an hourglass figure. Usually she might seem out of your league, but with fractionation seduction you'll have a shot.
You'll get closer to her, maintain a steady eye contact, and then ask her the time (in a deep voice). Your words are hypnotic, and your body language is attractive. You then deliver fractionation seduction lines… and you see her warming up to you, laughing with you and eventually ask YOU for your phone number.
The tactic is simply powerful once you see how it works by exploiting the psychology of girls. Enter your email in the next page in order to find out a simple way to use this technique:-

>GREAT OFFSHORE LIMITED: Weathering cyclical waves
Great Offshore (GOL) is one of the largest offshore logistics companies incIndia with operational track record of over 25 years. It is operating in allcsegments of offshore oil field services with a diversified fleet of 47 vessels.
The company has demonstrated its competance in new ventures such ascmarine engineering and construction projects.
■ Capacity addition to drive earnings growth
The company has acquired 6 vessels (5 OSV and 1 jack-up rig) in FY10 at an outlay of INR5bn. GOL has 2 vessels (1 Jack-up and 1 MSV) on order and has plans to modernise fleet to tap the requirements of growing deep water exploration market.
■ Under exploited domestic E&P industry
Growing energy demand and high energy import dependency (~80%) along with unexplored domestic market, makes strong case for growth in offshore industry. Significant growth potential in domestic E&P is expected as only 44% of sedimentary basins initiated exploration with low drilling density. The overall drilling density in offshore is 1.09 compared to exploration activities
in shallow water with density of 54.2.
■ Favourable macro scenario
The strong supply side fundamentals with concerns on additional supply and growing energy requirement, particularly in emerging countries, are raising concerns on energy security. 'Peak oil' and 'decline in spare capacity of OPEC' are expected to remain the key drivers for exploration activities.
At CMP of INR433, the stock is trading at 9.1xFY11 and 6.5xFY12 earnings of INR47 and INR66, respectively. We have valued the company on an earnings multiple of 8.5xFY12, which is 35% discount to four year average P/E. We initiate coverage with BUY recommendation and a target price of INR565, representing an upside of 30% from current levels.

The Savior's Touch
1. A woman in the multitude that came to hear Christ speak,
Pressed forward close and reaching Him, fell humbly at His feet.
With faith to heal her weakened frame, she stretched forth her hand;
And touched the hem of Him, who though a God, stood now as man.
2. A boy stood with the Nephites at the city temple walls.
He watched with hanging eyes the Savior speaking to them all.
Then Jesus called the children to come forward one by one;
The boy wept as Christ touched his head and blessed him with His love.
3. A young man heard a missionary tell of Jesus Christ,
And felt a burning in his heart that told him it was right.
He asked the man to be baptized and come into the fold.
The light of Christ shone in his face, the Savior touched his soul.
The Savior's touch can turn the earthen stones to bread.
The Savior's touch can raise the living from the dead.
The Savior touched with faith and love the hearts of you and me.
So we in turn could touch the lives of ev'ryone we see.

Malloy warns residents: Prepare for worst flooding in 70 years and widespread, long-lasting power outages (interactive map, videos, photos)
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy did not mince words during a press conference Sunday night on the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy.
"This is the largest threat to human life this state has experienced in anyone's lifetime," he said. "This is not a joke. This is a real warning of possible death by drowning."
Malloy expressed concern over the duration of the storm and the extraordinary lunar high tides. He said residents should expect the storm to last 36 hours, and affect four high tide cycles.
The worst of those high tides, expected late tonight, combined with the storm surge, could produce water as high as 11 feet, Malloy said, leading to "unprecedented flooding."
Also, sustained winds are expected to be 40 to 60 miles per hour, with gusts up to 80 mph.
"The last time we saw anything like this was never," he said.
The governor ordered all nonessential state employees to remain home Monday, and the Judicial Branch closed its operations until Tuesday.
Sandy has already affected the Nov. 6 election, with Malloy extending the voter registration deadline until 8 p.m. Thursday.
Malloy even took the rare step of a conference call with representatives from all but two towns on Connecticut's shore, to transmit the urgency of the situation.
See outages for United Illuminating customers here. CL&P customers can check for outages here.
"We did something extraordinary today," he said. "We did it because I did not believe people were taking it seriously."
"We're looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people," said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
As Hurricane Sandy trekked north from the Caribbean -- where it left nearly five dozen dead -- to meet two other powerful winter storms, experts said it didn't matter how strong the storm was when it hit land: The rare hybrid storm that follows will cause havoc over 800 miles, from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
Malloy on Saturday declared a state of emergency for Connecticut, "due to the severe weather conditions predicted to affect the state."
The declaration provides Malloy with emergency powers that include the authority to modify or suspend any state law, regulation or requirement.
The governor apprised President Barack Obama of the situation during a phone call earlier Sunday. The president, Malloy said, was aware of the emergency declaration.
By Sunday night, Obama had approved Malloy's request to declare a pre-landfall emergency in Connecticut, which allows the state to request federal funding and other assistance in advance of Hurricane Sandy's impact on the state.
"I would like to thank President Obama for understanding the necessity of declaring an emergency in our state in advance of the storm," Malloy said. "As each forecast has come in, it's become more and more clear that this storm will have a major impact in Connecticut. We cannot wait until after it hits to begin the process of seeking emergency assistance."
In New Haven, Mayor John DeStefano Jr. announced a state of emergency during a press conference Sunday at the Emergency Operations Center at 200 Orange St.
"Tomorrow night, midnight, we expect to be 10 feet over high tide. Now, as a frame of reference, (Tropical Storm) Irene was 5 to 6 feet over.
Read information released by New Haven officials on how to prepare for the storm here, and read more on Hurricane Sandy here. Also, see an updated slideshow on Sandy.
"Our vulnerability, therefore, is going to be flooding and downed power lines and loss of power as a result. We'll expect to see this around Union Station, Route 34, Middletown Avenue, Quinnipiac Avenue, City Point, Morris Cove, Fair Haven, Long Wharf and parts of Blake Street."
Late Saturday afternoon, East Haven and Fairfield had ordered mandatory evacuations of flood-prone areas for Sunday. Evacuations in East Haven were scheduled to begin at 8 a.m., while Fairfield's began at noon.
East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. said East Haven High School, at 35 Wheelbarrow Lane, will be serve as a shelter for residents and their pets. The shelter opened at noon Sunday.
"Residents who relocate and take advantage of the shelter should remember to bring toiletries, bedding and important documents, including identification, with them," Maturo said in a written statement.
Old Saybrook officials Saturday declared a state of emergency and were urging residents to voluntarily evacuate from homes south of Route 1 starting at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The town's shelter at Old Saybrook Senior High School, at 1111 Boston Post Road, opened at 5 p.m., town officials said.
Branford joined other Shoreline towns in ordering mandatory evacuations for all coastal areas and offshore islands, including areas along the Branford River and anywhere homeowners experienced flooding during Tropical Storm Irene.
Residents were required to evacuate no later than 8 p.m. Sunday.
Shelters opened beginning at 4 p.m. at Branford High School, 185 E. Main St. and Mary T. Murphy School, at 14 Brushy Plain Road, for those with pets.
On Sunday evening, New Haven firefighters were going door to door, urging residents of the City Point area to evacuate before 8 a.m. today.
Frank Torres, a City Point resident for 30 years, was boarding up the windows of his South Water Street home in preparation for the storm. His grandson, Angelo Ramirez, said although he's "not that concerned," they would heed warnings.
"He would leave if he has to," Ramirez said of his grandfather.
Next to Torres, Gregory Devlin and his mother, Jennifer Polino, couldn't agree about what to do.
Devlin was boarding up his own windows, but said he's not leaving.
"I'm not going nowhere," he said.
His mother, however, thought otherwise.
"We're both going," Polino said. "I've got a thick-blooded Irishman over here."
Down the road, 80-year-old Janet Clayton, who has lived in the same South Water Street home since 1962, said she's "not going anywhere."
She's seen the area flood before, and she's not impressed by the talk of a full moon high tide and a possible 8-foot rise in the sea level.
"Fireman says it's gonna be eight foot. It's not gonna be eight foot," she said. "The cats are safe. That's what I care about."
Bill Nishti, who lives a few houses away on Howard Avenue, also said he plans to stay.
"We've been here since Hurricane Gloria," he said. "We've been through a lot of storms."
New Haven Fire Lt. Steve Estep said forcing folks to leave their homes would be up to the police, but if it came to a matter of life and death, they would do what they had to.
"If the situation arises and we have to come and rescue Ms. Clayton, we're going to do it," he said.
Register reporters Mike Bellmore, Luther Turmelle and Randall Beach, and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jude Law has refused to see his newborn daughter Sophia until a DNA reports
Aspiring actress Samantha Burke just gave birth to baby Sophia on Tuesday (Sept. 22) after a brief romance with Jude earlier this year while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in New York.
Law had publicly vowed to "be a fully supportive part of the child's life," but new claims say he is not planning to see baby Sophia until he has DNA evidence:
"Jude is still very cautious about Sam and Sophia. Until he is 100 per cent certain she is his daughter he is only communicating through lawyers," a source says. "If he is the father he will meet his obligations to the child. He's hoping for an early chance to establish that he is genuinely her dad."
Ok that child is so his!

The US Department of Defense is promoting the positive aspects of free and open-source software for use in sensitive and un-restricted government IT projects.
The department has highlighted six benefits to tackle what it called "misconceptions and misinterpretations" of the existing laws, policies, and regulations. The current rules were written in May 2003.
The DoD claimed that lingering issues have "hampered effective DoD use and development of OSS [open source software]," said the department's document, released Tuesday.
The department highlighted the confusion that surrounds open-source licenses and encouraged people to take the time to learn about the different licenses.
Specifically, it corrected the notion that use of open-source in software projects or modification of code would mean the government is then obliged to distribute its own code, that "OSS should not be integrated or modified for use in classified or other sensitive DoD systems."
"Many open-source licenses permit the user to modify OSS for internal use without being obligated to distribute source code to the public," the DoD wrote.
It points out that the GPL requires distribution of corresponding source code to the recipient of the software if the modified code is released.
DOD deputy chief information officer David Wennergren, who wrote the document, said: "For this reason, it is important to understand both the specifics of the open-source license in question and how the Department intends to use and distribute any DOD-modified OSS."
Like the rest of the US government and the private sector in general, the DoD has been a large user of open source. The White House, meanwhile, has also flown the flag for open-source in government.
Wennergren said DoD agencies must still conduct market search when procuring property or services, so they can't rule-out closed-source or proprietary software out of hand.
But he noted: "There are positive aspects of OSS that should be considered when conducting market research on software for DoD use."
Those positive aspects are practical and financial. On the former these center on the openness of the code, which means a continuous and broad peer review of the code, the unrestricted ability to modify the source code, rapid prototyping, reduced reliance on a single developer or vendor, and the fact that licenses do not limited access to use of the software.
On price, Wennergren pointed to the fact products build using open-source code do not use an expensive per-seat licensing model and that the open nature of the code means the maintenance load is spread, potentially reducing lower total cost of ownership. ®

Final burst of stormy weather topples trees onto Franklin homes
Early radar indicates microburst brought winds up to 60 mph
A final burst of stormy weather triggered by Sandy left a trail of serious damage in Franklin.
At least two trees toppled onto buildings Tuesday night after wind and rain picked up about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. The trees landed on the roofs of houses near Webster Lake.
"We actually went into a central room in our house and got down low," said resident Mark Henderson. "We thought it was a tornado from the sounds and the things hitting the house."
One home on Lakeshore Drive fell off its foundation, and a family on Webster Drive was home when a tree landed on their house.
Residents say many of the homes are seasonal cottages and were empty when the winds came through. No one was inside 174 Lakeshore Drive when two large pine trees fell, crushing the home.
No one was injured. Many residents whose homes were spared said they were relieved to have avoided damage.
"It was a huge relief -- tears coming down, the whole nine yards -- and now it's still there," said Deb Hines, who owns a cottage by the lake. "It's been in my family for 57 years. and there's a lot of memories there."
The National Weather Service says early radar indicates the wind came from a microburst moving northwest from Massachusetts through New Hampshire.
Latest weather images shared on u local:
Meteorologists say winds were likely around 60 mph, and may turn out to be stronger.
Fallen branches and downed power lines closed a section of Lakeshore Drive to vehicles Tuesday morning.

I've just done my first 'proper' mix after a few months of practicing and what-not.
I've had some criticism saying some parts are bad, and I agree with them, but then some people say that it's not a 'mix' because I'm just changing from song to song...
Now here's the problem, do people want an hour long mix which is basically a mash-up with two decks playing the whole time?! I thought the art of djing was to keep it simple and let it flow, with some mash-ups and effects thrown in here and there?
I'm just a bit upset that I've tried so hard but seemingly failed... I obviously aim to have a mix that's full of 'mash-ups' but it would have to be so scripted that it wouldn't really feel right?
When you play gigs at clubs etc do you prepare your mix beforehand, sort out your cue points, what you're going to press where and when? Or do you prepare a playlist of around 100 songs or something and just mix in what feels right? This is what I don't understand, if you're 'freestyling' how the hell can you do a good enough mix? You won't know what songs go together, how long their breakdowns are etc will you?
I wasn't going to post the mix for fear of being slaughtered but here it is;
I guess I should write my own kinda 'review' on it...
The intro is good, I like it, the problem was transitioning OUT of 'The Tempest', it was basically impossible, so I just waited until it ended and played 'I'm not Alone'. It sounds awful, I know, but for some reason I wanted to keep The Tempest as the intro song...
The next two transitions are equally awful and too abrupt.
When 'Follow The Light' transitions into 'Remember' I think it works very well, then I had another problem as 'Remember' is at a weird bpm, something like 177.69 so it was hard to mix anything into it, 'Come Back' works okay, I don't think it's amazing but it's not bad.
'Come Back' > 'Hurt Less' I really really like, they drop at the same time and go together well.
I'm not going to talk about every transition, but basically my problem throughout was choosing songs that don't mix together very well and kinda 'forcing' them on eachother.
I like the part at the end (Just Be> Beautiful Lies> Need to feel loved).
I guess I should also ask, am I good enough to play in a small club? I think I am, but I'd have to prepare the mix beforehand...
