My kids love this part because the mama, who has just spent 34 pages yelling, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" is now pictured -- har, har -- jumping for joy on her own mattress.
I can relate -- to the words. Thank goodness, said the mama! Thank goodness, my monkeys are in bed. Thank goodness, another bedtime routine is over.
I adore my kids. It's their bedtime I hate.
Okay, "hate" is a strong word, but the nightly tuck-in is surely overrated: The endless routine of it, the 5,948th reading of Goodnight Moon, the procrastinations, the miles to go before I sleep. Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush. And goodnight to the old lady whispering, Okaythat'sitnomoregettingoutofbedIsaidgotosleep!
Moms are served a lot of mush about bedtime. It's supposed to be this golden time together, with your cherub so darling in footed pj's, sweet toothpasty breath bestowing a sleepy good-night kiss. Yes, it's delicious. But the magical moment doesn't come until the tail end of the interminable saga.
At 7 p.m. my heart sinks. For the next 60 to 90 minutes, I'm bathing, pj finding, toothbrushing, book reading, etc. Times four, since I have four closely spaced children.
On a good night, I finish my rounds merely exhausted. On a typical night, I'm exhausted and responding to one child or another's complaint about thirst, wet pants, lost blankies, or bad dreams. Or to what appear to be miscellaneous creative stall tactics. ("I lost count of the sheep. What comes after 49?" Or "I wanted to tell you that you have beautiful eyelashes, Mommy.")
The upside to ten years spent doing this is that I have become something of an efficiency expert on the subject. Bedtime can be sweet and cuddly -- and over in under an hour.
Start earlier than you'd think
I usually get the ball rolling at 7 p.m. Don't wait for the official "bedtime" if your goal is those golden minutes -- or even hours -- to yourself at day's end.
Actually, the bedtime routine kicks off long before first yawn -- about 12 hours before. Kids are like windup toys -- they start each day with a set number of revolutions. And that energy must be expended before their bodies are sufficiently wound down for the night. Woe to the mother who hasn't provided enough opportunities for running, jumping, and wriggling. Rainy day? Too-long nap? It happens. But by evening they'll be more likely to keep going and going.
On those days, try to resist the marathon-video solution, and keep them busy -- whether it's building a fort out of blankets, cooking with you, a treasure hunt -- as long as their bodies are moving and their minds are engaged.
Make it like pudding
That is, sweetly wholesome, rich in consistency, a little wobbly. The components of your nightly routine should be calming (think reading, not pre-bed gymnastics). They should make your child feel good (think a warm bath, a back scratch, a glass of milk). The particulars, however, matter less than that they follow a predictable order. When kids know what's coming next, it helps them feel more secure -- and therefore act more agreeable. There's less protesting about getting into their pj's before they can have a bedtime snack if that's how they do it every night.
This makes life easier for you, too, obviously. But leave a little wiggle room by cutting some parts short (the bath) while making others longer (an extra book or song) -- the wobbly part of the pudding. Just too pooped? Let it go. Skip the bath if nobody's dirty and read six books if you're having an especially pleasant snuggle. Keep your eye on the prize: sleep!
Be the leader, not the follower
Let bedtime flow willy-nilly, and that cup of water you kindly fetch one time becomes a standing order. One evening you help your baby say night-night to her teddy bears. The next, it's good night to all the rest of her stuffed animals. A week later, you're bidding more bye-byes than the matriarch of a seven-generation clan at a reunion.
Sanity check: If your nightly routine is so long and exacting that you'd have to write it down for a babysitter, it's time to pare back. Choose the parts your child likes best, and every night or two cut out another bit. It helps to casually announce the evening's "menu" at the start: "Okay! Time for bath, then pj's, then Mommy will tuck you in and read you a story." If your child wants something added back, stand firm. A complicated bedtime is like any bad habit: Just as it was started, so with perseverance can it be stopped.
Choose lullabies with care
I'm no Alicia Keys, but each of my kids wound up with a signature "song" sung only for them at tuck-in. It's just a little mommy-time ditty -- short, sweet, calming, and pleasant to sing. With Henry, it was "Home on the Range." Eleanor favored "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." How I went awry with my youngest, though, I'm not sure.
One night when Page was sick, I sang a medley of every Christmas carol and Barney tune I could think of, including a long, slow folk song called "The Water Is Wide." That was three years ago. "The Water Is Wide" has been requested almost every night since. I could almost ignore the fact that it's a rather cheerless song about love that "grows old and waxes cold" if it weren't also so slow and long that my patience waxes cold, too. And, yes, she protests if I skip any of the verses or try to speed up the dirgelike tempo. Set the mood with bedtime stories
It wasn't until I became a mother that I realized how many children's books end with a bedtime scene. Brilliant! Everyone from Harold and his purple crayon to the Hush Little Baby bunny drifts off to sleep on the last page, making these books sublime choices after 7 p.m. Not-so-good: titles that involve finding hidden duckies or have cliffhanger chapter endings. The idea is to wind 'em down, not rev 'em up.
Also, pick books whose number of sentences per page match your child's age -- one for a 1-year-old, two for a 2-year-old, and so on. (No scientist or reading specialist came up with this formula, just me.) And negotiate the number of books you'll read at the start: One long one? Two shorts? Resist the whines for "Just one more?"
Watch the clock
I've never been a stickler for scheduling in other areas of parenting, but by bedtime I'm happy to be alarm-clock prompt. My goal: a puffy chair and an empty lap by 8:05 p.m. It doesn't always happen, but I always try.
Just as I know that by 7 we run the bathwater, I expect that by 7:30 we're toweling off. (We bathe in multiples around here, and the older they get, the more pj-donning and book reading they do themselves.) Forge through all that threatens to knock you off schedule -- the errant tantrum, the ill-timed phone call, a sibling squall. Fight your own mind-numbing fatigue urging you to let the kids crash on their own just this once. Tomorrow they'll expect it to be the new routine, and it will take them twice as long to settle. Onward!
Not least, it's a terrific feeling to look at the clock at 8:05 and know that, although I broke my diet again today and still haven't done laundry, at least I've met one goal: They're asleep!
Thank goodness, said the mama. Now I can...do all those things I didn't get around to doing when my little monkeys were awake!

This Week in Track & Field
Two events are on tap this weekend for the UCSB track programs, with the Mt. SAC Relays taking place the entire weekend at Mt. San Antonio College, and the Azusa Pacific Invitational taking place on Friday, April 18 at Cougar Athletic Stadium on the East Campus of Azusa Pacific University. Most of the team will be competing at the Azusa Pacific Invitational this Friday, a meet that will include teams from all around the country. The meet begins at 9 a.m. with the steeplechase, and will run until about 6 p.m. in the evening. The Mt. SAC Relays is one of the largest and most famous meets on the west coast, and UCSB athletes are on the entry list for Thursday and Friday evening. Thursday's entries are Chris Ashley and Tim Aukshunas in the 10,000m at 9:45 p.m., and Julian DeRubira in the 5000m at 8:25 p.m. Friday's entries are Salim Benmohamed in the 800m at 5:25 p.m., Danielle Domenichelli in the 1500m at 6:04 p.m. and the 5000m at 8:55 p.m., and Bethany Nickless in the steeplechase at 7:05 p.m. Those entries are subject to change, but that's the way they stand as of Wednesday evening.
On The Horizon
With the season winding down and the Conference Championships looming, the Gauchos again will enter two competitive meets in the upcoming weekend of April 25-26. Some members of the team will be travelling up north to Eugene for the Oregon Relays, hosted by the University of Oregon. The rest of the team will head down to San Diego for the Triton Invitational, hosted by UC San Diego. Both meets feature enough teams and athletes to warrant two full days of competition. Information on these two meets will come soon.
We'll Let Them Do the Chasing
One of the biggest strengths for this season's team is the steeplechase, in which the Gauchos have been winning races all season long. Last week marked the return of Bethany Nickless to the circuit, and she won easily at the Big West Challenge Cup meet with a time of 10:44.21. Michael Powers ensured a sweep at the Challenge Cup by winning the men's steeple at 9:11.17. Additionally, Dillon Brook ran well enough to take second in the men's race at 9:28.16. A similar result occurred earlier in the season, when Powers and Brook went 1-2 in the steeple at the All-Cal Challenge. With two Regional-qualifiers in Nickless and Powers, the Gauchos have to be considered among the favorites in this event leading into the Conference Championships.
On the Verge
Christina Nowak and Jane Doolittle have each jumped 5'7" this season, highlighted by a 1-2 finish at the Challenge Cup last week. Nowak's clearance over 5'7" matched a personal best, and Doolittle's clearance over the same bar was just shy of a personal best. Both athletes are creeping up on the Regional-qualifying mark, which is 1.75m. Nowak is currently at 1.70m, and Doolittle is at 1.73m. Both of them had three good looks at a 1.75m crossbar last week at the Challenge Cup, which is important since their attempts were in a competitive setting. With a little more than a month to go until Regionals, the high jumpers will be looking to go big every weekend to secure those spots in the field.
Only Two Laps to Go
Salim Benmohamed continued his solid first season with the Gauchos by running a 1:52.83 in the 800m last week at the Challenge Cup, the second-fastest 800m time for the men this season. Benmohamed was only inches away from winning the race, as he finished neck-and-neck with UC Irvine's Tim Murphy. Benmohamed's personal best coming into this season was 1:53.08, which he set at the College of the Canyons last year. He came close to bettering that time at the Cal-Nevada meet two weeks ago, where he ran a 1:53.54. Another collegiate career best was set in the 800m by Sarah Roth last week, who ran a 2:16.3 (hand-timed) to take third place. Her mark is the first Conference-qualifier in the 800m for the women.
Hayes the Man
A pair of respectable finishes from Jayson Hayes has catapulted him into the mix as Conference draws near. After hovering around 2:00 in the 800m and 4:00 in the 1500m in every race this season, Hayes dropped four seconds in each race at the Challenge Cup meet. He ran a 1:56.85 in the 800m, and a 3:56.29 in the 1500, both personal bests in his first season of collegiate competition. His 1500m time meets the Conference mark as well, ensuring him a spot in the field in his freshman year of eligibility.

Welcome back to Elevator Pitch, where we put top tech investors under the microscope. And speaking of microscopes: This week's guest is Dr. Beth Seidenberg, who heads up life sciences investing at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
A physician who trained at Johns Hopkins and the National Institutes of Health, Seidenberg joined Kleiner Perkins in 2005 after a stint as chief medical officer of biotech giant Amgen. She's since founded or incubated five startups within Kleiner's walls.
Yet Seidenberg is one of a shrinking number of venture capitalists who invest in biotech; many firms have fled the business for less risky fields like software. And after a recent shake-up of Kleiner's ranks, Seidenberg is part of a shrinking cadre of partners entrusted to make early stage bets at the fabled firm — which has encountered questions of late over failed bets on cleantech and exclusion from hot deals like Facebook.
We asked Seidenberg why she's still bullish on biotech — and on Kleiner's future.
Q: How'd you get into this racket?
A: After 15-plus years in operating roles at biotech and pharmaceutical companies, I decided to focus my energy on building companies rather than building products. I was introduced to (Kleiner co-founder) Brook Byers by the venture capitalist Pitch Johnson, who was on the board of Amgen. Brook and I hit it off, and I decided to try my hand as an investor.
When I first joined the firm, I was still mulling whether I was better suited to being a VC or a CEO. After a year of getting my sea legs on the investing side, though, I found that I was having more fun than I'd ever had.
Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?
A: I'm looking for big ideas to disrupt the delivery of health care. KPCB is looking for people who are focused on what's possible, people who dream big and drive change.
The millennial generation is frustrated and disenchanted with the current delivery of health care. We're looking for entrepreneurs who will apply the best tools, smart business models and inventive design to drive the transformation of the U.S. health care system.
Q: What's the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?
A: Over-promising and under-delivering. Entrepreneurs need to find the right balance between dreaming the dream and being realistic about what they can deliver within a specific time frame. Then do what they do best: Set up a plan and do more than anyone believed was possible.
Q: What's the next big thing going to be?
A: Digital tools that will change the face of health care delivery and information sharing. Disruption in the U.S. health care system is underway with the debut of the Affordable Care Act. Digital tools we take for granted in other businesses and in our personal lives will permeate the health care market.
The trouble with the government's health insurance sign-up process over the past few weeks has underlined how much Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are needed to improve the system — entrepreneurs who won't be encumbered by legacy systems and thinking. Improving information flow to deliver better health care at lower cost is a national imperative. Startups that address the need to connect doctors and nurses to patients and services are of great interest.
And given KPCB's deep expertise in both life sciences and IT industries, we believe we are uniquely positioned to partner with entrepreneurs who are pursuing disruptive ideas in digital health. (Note: Kleiner has notched five biotech IPOs this year alone, and another portfolio company was bought by drug giant Abbott for $400 million.)
Q: Does it frustrate you to see VCs putting less and less money into biotech and medical devices?
A: I'm optimistic that the tide will turn. With the market embracing biotech and diagnostic IPOs, optimism is returning. Innovation in health care remains important to both investors and patients. We continue to search actively for new investment opportunities throughout the life sciences sector.
Q: There's a lot of talk in the valley right now about the memo Kleiner recently sent to investors, which said you and just four other managing directors will be in charge of all early stage investments. Why is it important for the firm to focus its resources like that?
A: My perspective is that change is good, and that the best venture firms are constantly evolving to meet the needs of their entrepreneurs. The focus of our venture funds at KPCB is primarily on Series A investments, which require a lot of company building in partnership with entrepreneurs.
We believe a smaller team will be more nimble and allow us to be even more responsive to entrepreneurs and their needs.

- Shared this giveaway on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/hannahmommy#!/hannahmommy?v=wall&story_fbid=125128447512359&ref=mf
I know that eating at least 6 fruits and vegetables is really important. But a lot of days I see that this daily requirement isn't quite fulfilled for myself or my family. One of the best ways to make up for this lack is through a green drink. Depending upon the brand and method of manufacturing, these drinks can be fabulous for you. But there are drawbacks for me. For one, the taste leaves a lot to be desired. For the most part, the drinks taste like grass. Grass doesn't have the best flavor on the planet! I actually have several green drink containers hanging around my house that I have never finished because I didn't feel like buckling down and drinking them because of the taste. Another drawback, as I mentioned, is the method of manufacturing the green drink. If all the nutrients are destroyed in the manufacturing process because of heat, you end up with little or no nutrition. Another concern is the quality of the food before the process even begins. Are there heavy fertilizers in the soil it grew in?I believe I've found the perfect answer to all of my concerns in Tropical Traditions Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens Drink! For starters, the taste is great! I ordered the berry flavor (they also have mint flavor) and it tastes like a fruit drink! I can put it in my fruit smoothies and it tastes super good! I can drink it plain without holding my nose to get it down, which is what I used to do with any green drink I might have tried.
It is also the highest quality blend of greens and whole food that provide a wonderful addition to my diet. It contains:
2600 mg of certified organic flax per serving, which is very rich in Omega 3 in the most absorbable, cold-processed form!
Concentrate of Ionic Trace minerals in a form that my body recognizes and absorbs!
Spirulina, which is the highest form of protein in any natural food!
Chlorella, which has an incredibly wide array of vitamins and minerals, which occur naturally!
Apple Fiber Pectin, a superb form of fiber, which is great for my digestive health.
A proprietary enzyme blend, which helps my body break down the foods I take into my body so I won't have to use my own anabolic enzymes used for my critical life functions and which I only have so many for that purpose, so I don't want to waste them on digesting my food if I can help it.
It also contains: lecithin and licorice root extract, both great for immune system, nerve and adrenal gland function.
I am very very excited about this find and I hope that you will visit Tropical Traditions and read more about their Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens!
Of course you may purchase this and it will be well worth the price of $44.00.

John Wall has longed for the opportunity he received Sunday night, though likely not in the way he got it.
Wall scored the game's final six points after teammate Bradley Beal left the court with sprained ankle, leading the Washington Wizards to a 90-87 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I've proven myself in college," Wall said. "I just have to keep proving myself. I like the ball at the end of games. On those types of plays, you want to be the hero, you want to have the pressure. Sometimes, you're going to succeed. Sometimes, you're going to fail. As long as you have confidence and believe in your ability, you're going to be all right."
Beal went down with 2:08 left in the fourth quarter. After being attended to by a trainer, Beal was carried off the court and through the tunnel by two teammates, keeping weight completely off both his legs. Beal later said he didn't consider the injury serious and watched the game's conclusion from the training room.
Wall scored the next four points to give the Wizards an 88-87 lead, blocked Evan Turner's shot with 53 seconds left and added a jumper with 4.4 seconds left.
Wall finished with 16 points and six assists as the Wizards snapped a two-game losing streak and avoided their longest skid in the last month.
"I'm sure there probably was a burst of thought of, 'Somebody's got to step up now,'" Wittman said of Wall. "He wants to win as bad as anybody. When he's not playing the way he's capable of, he gets frustrated a little bit. But I thought the last couple games, he's calmed down and fought through."
Dorell Wright scored 15 points to lead the 76ers, who have lost eight of their last nine.
After the game, Beal, using crutches, passed Philadelphia coach Doug Collins' news conference. Earlier in the media session, Collins referred to Beal as 'Jeremy.'
"Just one second," Collins told reporters before addressing Beal. "Hey, Jeremy. I mean Bradley. Bradley. I hope you're OK, man. Sorry. OK? You're a hell of a player, man."
Collins turned back to the reporters.
"There is a Jeremy Beal, isn't there?" Collins said. "That has to be. If not, that's his new nickname. No, I shouldn't be making fun at this period of time. We should all pray for that young kid. . He's a tremendous player."
Beal said an X-ray revealed no serious damage and that the next significant test of his ankle would come Monday morning.
"I honestly thought it was more serious than what it was, because at first, I really couldn't move my foot," Beal said. "I couldn't really feel it. I guess that's just what happens when you're in shock, and your mind's just going all over the place."
Philadelphia held Washington scoreless from 7:56 left in the fourth until 2:34 remained. Between Nene's baskets, the 76ers went on an 11-0 run to take an 85-82 lead.
Martell Webster, who converted a four-point play on the Wizards' first possession of the game, also scored 16 points. Emeka Okafor had 12 points and 16 rebounds.
Beal added 14 points and Nene had 15 points and nine rebounds in his return after missing Washington's last two games due to a sore right shoulder.
Spencer Hawes had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Evan Turner added 11 points and 10 rebounds for the 76ers. Jrue Holiday had 14 points and six assists and Thaddeus Young also scored 14 points
A.J. Price (bruised right thigh) also returned after missing Washington's last game. He scored two points on 1-of-7 shooting in 17 minutes.
For the second straight game, Royal Ivey replaced injured Nick Young (left ankle sprain) in the starting lineup and finished with four points and four rebounds in 24 minutes.
NOTES: Collins, the No. 1 pick in the 1973 NBA Draft, addressed the pressure faced by top picks, including Wall (2010). "As the years have gone on, it's even harder," Collins said. "When I got drafted, I got a phone call. 'You're drafted.' Everything is so much more magnified. There's so many more people writing. There's so many more people talking. There's so many more people comparing. Any time you add all that to the mix, it adds to that. Also, these guys come in — nobody had ever seen me play other than maybe the Olympics — we know all about these guys now even in eighth grades and freshmen in high school, so there is no unknown factor." ... Collins said he's trying to coax his players to be more vocal and cited a recent Los Angeles Clippers game. "I said, 'I watched the tape and Chris Paul took his mouthpiece out 1,022 times,'" Collins said. "Obviously, I was just making that up. But it was like constantly that he was taking it out to talk. He's blowing up every one of your plays. ... It's almost like it puts another man out on the floor."

A device implanted in the eye to take over for damaged retinas -- encoding what it "sees" into data the brain can read -- restored near-normal vision to blind mice, researchers found.
With the use of a two-part device with an encoder and a transducer, retinal nerve cells fired off the correct signal 88% of the time on average when presented with scenes like faces and people walking, reported Sheila Nirenberg, PhD, and Chethan Pandarinath, PhD, both of Cornell University in New York City, online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
By comparison, that proportion reached only 17% with a current generation prosthesis that boosts stimulation of surviving retinal cells without coding it into normal retinal output, the group reported.
Diseases like macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa progressively destroy the photoreceptor cells that provide input to the retina but leave its output capability largely intact. It's estimated that more than 20 million people worldwide are blind or at risk of blindness due to retinal degenerative diseases.
Prostheses take the place of the photoreceptors to capture light with a camera and convert it to signals that trigger the ganglion cells, which then transmit the visual information to the brain.
Current devices, though, haven't been able to restore vision to much more than spots of light and high-contrast edges, the researchers noted.
Improving the resolution of the sensors without addressing how the stimuli reaches the brain won't really fix the problem, Nirenberg and Pandarinath suggested.
"When images enter the retina, they are transformed via retinal processing into patterns of action potentials," they explained. "The patterns are in a code the brain can read, a code the brain is expecting."
Their device added an encoder into the standard prosthesis setup to mimic those patterns.
In a mouse model of retinal degeneration, the signals produced matched those of a healthy mouse retina much more closely than those produced by a standard, non-encoded prosthesis.
Reconstruction of the recorded ganglion cell responses showed that the picture was recognizable with much less degradation than the fuzzy, low-contrast image conveyed by the standard prosthesis.
Mice with the encoding device implanted were able to track images with their eye, whereas those with a standard device were not.
"Although increasing resolution also improves performance, there is an inherent ceiling on the quality of image this can produce; adding the code breaks through this barrier," the authors explained.
Clinical trials have already shown that current generation devices can be delivered without ill effects and can provide a measure of sight to blind individuals with degenerative retinas.
"Although it is likely that there will be many hurdles to overcome to bring this technology to patients, the major ones ... have already been addressed, substantially increasing the probability of success," the researchers concluded.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and by Cornell's Institute for Computational Biomedicine.
The researchers reported having a patent application filed through Cornell University.

Trying To Understand: Facebook's Lawsuit Against Power.com Makes No Sense
from the help-me-out-here... dept
This is a pretty weak response from Facebook. Basically, it looks like Facebook trying to exert undue control over what other websites and services can do, and it's not clear that it has any real legal basis for doing so. It's a shame that a company like Facebook is becoming a legal bully at such a young age. I would have expected better. In the end, though, if Facebook keeps up actions like this, it will only hasten the shift to other social networks that don't try to limit what their users can do. Facebook might want to take a lesson from the eventual flop of Friendster after that social network was accused of being too controlling.

Norwich Peregrine Chicks are Named
Norwich's celebrity peregrine falcon chicks, which flew for the first time this week, have been named.
The names were announced on Radio Norfolk, following hundreds of suggestions submitted by the public; the female is called Bobber and the male Grant.
A third chick, which failed to survive, was also named, Valiant, in response to demand from viewers online who watched on a live webcam the youngster's struggles to develop.
The juveniles are the first to hatch and fledge from the nesting platform installed by the Hawk and Owl Trust on the spire of Norwich Cathedral in 2011.
They are now flying vigorously around the cathedral, still being fed by the adult pair, and can often be observed from the Trust's watchpoint in the cathedral close, open daily from 10 till 5.
Soon their parents will start teaching them how to hunt. It is likely the youngsters will stay with the adults around the cathedral until the winter and maybe even into next year.
The webcam on the peregrine platform will continue till the end of June.
The watch point at the Cathedral will continue to run until Sunday 24 June. Visitors are then welcome to visit the Fusion screen at Norwich Forum to see footage from this year's peregrine breeding season from Monday 25 June through to Saturday 30 June. There will also be a lunchtime talk about the Cathedral Peregrines project at 12.30 on Thursday 28 June and activities for children at the Forum on Saturday 30 June.
Check out our Urban Peregrine Project page for more information and videos: click here. For a 2-minute video of the ringing from BBC Look East click here.

Please Note | If you are planning to visit the Cathedral there is no parking at the Cathedral itself. The nearest public car park is Bishopgate or try the airport park and ride.
This project is being supported by: Archant, ContiTech UK, iCode Systems, Lady Hind Trust, LVAS-Imas Ltd, M A Partners,Opticron, SIMM Conveyor Services Ltd, Syngenta, WildSounds, WiSpire by FreeClix, Cley Spy, Hawke Optics, Viking Optical Ltd, Swallowtail Print, and in memory of the late Mr Ray Rogers of Norwich.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Interpol said Tuesday it is making the war against cyber crime a main priority this year as online fraud crosses borders and increases in scope.
Khoo Boon Hui, president of the global police network, told a conference of 49 European member states that cyber crime is becoming more transnational. He pointed to a study published in March by the London Metropolitan University that found 80 percent of online crime is connected to cross-border organized gangs.
"Organized crime is now able to recruit members from countries without diplomatic ties to commit crimes overseas operating from temporary safe bases in third countries equipped with the latest technology," he said.
Hui said Malaysian police last month arrested more than 200 cyber criminals from China and Taiwan who operated online scams through two syndicates under the instructions of a common Taiwanese boss.
By using temporary safe bases around the far East, the online scammers netted billions of dollars via football and gambling websites along with credit card and bank fraud schemes, he said. He said hackers even penetrated the Interpol website this year.
Hui said cyber crime costs Europe about 750 billion euros, or more than $977 billion, a year. Israel alone deals with more than 1,000 Web attacks a minute, he said.To help train police worldwide in online law enforcement, Hui said Interpol will open a cyber crime and digital security complex in Singapore in 2014.
This week's conference also addressed other issues including international terrorism, the drug trade, and human trafficking.

All things revealed
The ongoing litigation in the Beaumont Independent School District trustee race is not about a racial divide, and it's not black or white — it's quite simply a legal strategy to maintain the status quo and maintain the trustees in their current seats. In the words of BISD hired gun Melody Chappell in her application to the DOJ voted on by the Board of Trustees seeking approval for the most recently drawn 7-0 map, the attorney wrote, "It is not expected that the redistricting changes will affect the electoral influence of racial minority groups.
But that all changed when it became clear trustees Terry Williams, Zenobia Bush, and Woodrow Reece would lose their seats because of their own failure to file by the March 1 deadline set by the same trustees when calling for a May 11 election. Now the board is spending thousands of dollars in legal fees to fight the implementation of the very map they had chosen just weeks ago.
The board majority fought tooth and nail to overcome the will of the voters, who had chosen to go with a board made up of five single-member districts with two at-large representatives (5-2). The board majority wanted seven single-member districts. And not just any seven districts — these seven districts, which further protect the incumbent majority.
This is the map they wanted. All they're doing is protecting the seats of these three trustees. It is at minimum the spirit of the law that tax dollars be spent only for the district as a whole. Many lawyers were consulted and all agree that BISD to this point is probably within the law - but not within the spirit of the law. The only people that benefit from litigation are Reece, Williams and Bush, but certainly not the taxpayers footing the bill. What we ask and many of our readers have asked is this: Why are these trustees fighting so hard to maintain positions on a dysfunctional board, seats they'll have an opportunity to win back at a later date? We believe that this particular majority has abused its power with favoritism and corruption to a point of desperation and cover-up. They're scared of what we might find after they leave.
It is no secret that the first order of business for the three that have been deemed legally entitled to be on the ballot along with a new majority will be to order a forensic audit of the financial dealings of the district, to include bond expenditures. Should this legal maneuvering succeed and BISD is able to maintain status quo, every parent with children in BISD should demand TEA appoint a conservator and a new board that can serve for a maximum of two years.
If current trustees are found to have served honorably for the past decade, they'll certainly win their seats back given the cozy districts that have been created for them. But should we discover they have not acted honorably — and we WILL learn the truth — the very Department of Justice that has up to this point protected the status quo will likely spring into action and deliver to the voters of Beaumont the justice they have thus far been denied.

Melges 32 Fleet Ready For Fierce Competition In Key West
15 January 2012
Key West, Fla. - In the famous words of biographer Walter Isaacson referencing Steve Jobs' early tenure at Apple Computers — the Melges 32 fleet is ready to 'turn on, boot up and jack in' to Key West 2012. Nineteen teams, originating from six nations — United States, Japan, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Italy, and Austria — have registered and confirmed participation in Key West, anxiously awaiting the careful and articulate direction of PRO Peter 'Luigi' Reggio.
Let the truth be told, there are no slouches in this fleet. Glancing from the top, to the bottom of the scratch sheet, the Melges 32 has once more delivered a great collection of super star-studded teams that possess the will power and ability to win one of sailing's most coveted titles.
2011 Melges 32 Gold Cup Champion Steve Howe on Warpath, with tactician Morgan Larson is definitely among the teams most favored to win. After placing second overall last year in Key West, Howe is back and determined to conquer all, especially since World Champion William Douglass' Goombay Smash is not present to defend his title. John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti and tactician, three-time Melges 24 World Champion helmsman Lorenzo Bressani will forever be a favorite. Kilroy's phenomenal performance last March at the Miami Championship and runner-up position at Worlds, secured his stature as one of the fleet's greatest challengers. Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino with tactician Gabriele Benussi is expected to fair equally well.
"Key West is one of my favorite events. For ten years, Mascalzone Latino has taken part in this event. It's our first time racing in Key West in the Melges 32, without a doubt it will be more competitive than ever," says Onorato."For us, it is the first of many events on the USA Sailing Series that will best prepare us for the World Championship, hosted by the New York Yacht Club taking place in Newport, R.I. in September."
Others teams that complete the ring of contention include Chris Larson calling tactics aboard Joel Ronning's Catapult, Benjamin Schwartz's Pisces with America's Cup legend Ed Baird serving as tactician, and Morgan Reeser calling tactics on Geoff Pierini's Shakedown.
Needless to say it will be an extremely exciting week in Key West where forecasted conditions look to be amazing on Monday and Tuesday, then plateauing for the remainder of the week.
To appropriately kick off the new year, the IM32CA would like to welcome several new fleet additions include Bermuda's Alec Cutler on Hedgehog, Makoto Uematsu on Esmeralda, Roberto Tomasini Grinover on Robertissma 1 and Keisuke Suzuki on Swing.
Coming in loud and clear from the racecourse, the International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA) will be bringing the latest and greatest racing updates via the Official Class Blog.
Be sure to stay close to the class website as each night, daily race reports will be posted and photo galleries will be made available.

The German bishops' conference defended a decree that said Catholics who stop paying a church membership tax cannot receive sacraments. "There must be consequences for people who distance themselves from the church by a public act," said Archbishop Robert Zöllitsch of Freiburg, the conference president. "Clearly, someone withdrawing from the church can no longer take advantage of the system like someone who remains a member," he said on Sept. 24. According to the decree, Catholics who legally separate from the church can no longer receive the sacraments of penance, holy Communion, confirmation or anointing of the sick, except when facing death, or exercise any church function, including belonging to parish councils or acting as godparents. Marriages would be allowed only with a bishop's consent, and unrepentant Catholics would be denied church funerals.
Introduced in the 19th century, the membership tax, about 8 percent of personal income, brings the German church about $6 billion annually, making it one of the world's wealthiest.

Police to launch two bike safety programs
The Alameda police are kicking off two ongoing bicycle safety programs on Dec. 1.
Officers will reward middle and high school kids who are riding independently and show safe cycling skills with a "Tucker's Token" for a free ice cream cone at Tucker's Ice Cream on Park Street.
When an on-duty traffic officer spots a minor following the rules of the road, such as wearing a helmet, stopping at stop signs and red lights and using hand signals before turning, the officer will present the kid with a wooden token. Fifty tokens will be distributed each month for a year.
Along with the police, BikeAlameda is behind the program, which is sponsored by Greer Family Mortuary, Alameda Bicycle and Tucker's Ice Cream.
The police are also launching a "bicycle traffic school." The school will be available for cyclists who have received a moving citation, allowing them an option to attend a two-hour bicycle safety class instead of paying a traffic fine.
Instructors with the East Bay Bicycle Coalition will offer the class once each month. While the cyclist still must pay a $50 fee for the class, the amount is less than what the cyclist would pay for a moving violation, according to program organizers.
Classes will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month at the Alameda Fire Department Conference Center, 431 Stardust Place, Building 522 at Alameda Point.
The class is also open to all teens and adults for free if they have not been cited for a violation.
For information call Robert Prinz at the East Bay Bicycle Coalition at 510-845-7433 ext. 2, or email email@example.com.
Firefighters extinguish fire on Eagle Avenue
A Saturday kitchen fire in the 2300 block of Eagle Avenue caused about $1,000 in damage before it was contained, Alameda firefighters said. No one was hurt.
Talk on reforming state initiative process
Michael Salerno, a law professor at Hastings law school at the University of California, will speak at 7 p.m. Nov. 29 on "California's Initiative and Referendum Process: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" at the College of Alameda.
The free talk, which will include a discussion session, will review the possibility of reforming California's 102-year-old initiative and referendum process.
The League of Women Voters of Alameda and the College of Alameda are co-sponsoring the event, which will take place in Building F on the campus at 555 Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway.
For information, call local league President Kate Quick at 510-610-4042 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Information is also available at http://alameda.ca.lwvnet.org/Public_Events.html.
Food bank needs turkeys, hams for holidays
The Alameda Food Bank is issuing a call to the community for 1,000 turkeys and hams as well as the fixings to be distributed this holiday season to the families it serves.
Each November and December, the Food Bank distributes turkeys, hams and bags of special holiday food items to its clients, relying upon the generosity of local residents and businesses for their donations.
The Food Bank is also seeking boxed stuffed mix, canned black olives, canned gravy, cake mix, corn bread muffin mix, instant potatoes, canned yams and condensed milk.
Donations can be dropped off any time during normal Food Bank hours. Businesses or groups making large donations can contact the Food Bank to arrange to have those donations picked up. The Food Bank office is at 1900 Thau Way in Alameda, near Constitution and Atlantic avenues.
Holiday season hours to drop off donations are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; and the second and third Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The Food Bank will be closed Nov. 24-26, Dec. 24-26 and Dec. 31-Jan. 2.
Monetary contributions can be made at the Food Bank during business hours or can be mailed to P.O. Box 2167, Alameda, CA 94501.
To make an online donation, go to the Food Bank's website at http://www.alamedafoodbank.org/contribution.html.

Samuel Porter Jones
(October 16, 1847 - October 15, 1906)
Samuel Porter Jones was one of the most celebrated revivalists of his day, at the close of the 19th century. Famous for his wry wit and masterful story-telling, he is credited as a principal influence on Will Rogers. Jones is particularly connected with the history of The Union Gospel Tabernacle, later named Ryman Auditorium. Riverboat captain, Thomas Green Ryman, was converted after hearing Jones on May 10, 1885 at a meeting which he and friends attended with the intention of heckling the preacher. According to the legend, Ryman decided on that day to build a tabernacle in which to hold revival meetings in Nashville, Tennessee (the building was home to the Grand Ole Opry for many years), and he soon approached Jones with the idea.
Early Life
Sam Jones was born on October 16, 1847 in Oak Bowery, Alabama, the son of lawyer and real estate entrepreneur John Jones and homemaker Queenie Jones, the grandson of Methodist preacher Samuel Gamble Jones, and nephew of four additional Methodist ministers. In 1857, when Sam was ten years old, the family moved to Cartersville, Georgia, where John Jones' parents had made their home. Jones ended up living there for most of his life. Sam had hoped to attend college, but he purportedly suffered from an unspecified medical condition (his eyes or his stomach, depending on circumstance) and began drinking heavily. Eventually, despite his Methodist heritage which included seven Methodist ministers, Jones decided to become a lawyer. He was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1868. At the age of twenty-one, Sam trekked to Kentucky to claim his bride to be, Laura McElwain (whom he had befriended during the Civil War). Though his reputation as a drunkard had preceded him to Kentucky, and Laura's father refused to attend the wedding, Laura's mother convinced her to keep her promise to Sam Jones—the two were wed and became lifetime companions.
Sam Jones did not stay a lawyer for long and, in spite of his hopes that marriage would save him from himself, he continued to drink heavily and destroyed his career. By 1872 Jones was stoking furnaces and driving freight wagons for a living. The death of his infant daughter sobered him for a time, before he fell off the wagon yet again. Then, in 1872, Jones was called to his father's deathbed where his father pleaded with him to quit drinking—Sam promised he would. A week later Samuel P. Jones walked down the aisle of his grandfather's church, made his confession to God, and became a Christian.
Sam Jones was known for preaching hard against sin and hypocrisy. He preached once at a Church dedication in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in the middle of the service he stopped his message and asked the congregation how much they paid the Pastor. They were unwilling to tell him, but when the appallingly low sum was finally revealed, the congregation was so embarrassed that the next day he was given a substantial raise.
On October 15, 1906, Jones was returning home from a revival in Oklahoma City on the Rock Island Train. While the train was stopped in Perry, Arkansas, Sam suddenly collapsed and died. It is estimated that over 30,000 people came to view him as he lay in state in the rotunda of the Capital in Atlanta. Rev. Samuel P. Jones is now buried at Oak Hill cemetery in Cartersville, Georgia, where a stone monument marks the grave of Sam and his wife Laura.
At the time of Jones' death, the sanctuary of what was then named Cartersville Methodist Episcopal Church was in the process of being completed. After a unanimous vote, the congregation officially changed the name of the church to Sam Jones Memorial Methodist Church (now known as Sam Jones Memorial United Methodist Church), which is still in existence today.
Evangelistic Career
Jones was accepted by the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and began his ministry with the Van Wert circuit, a group of five churches spread over four counties. Before long his talent for preaching had him doing revivals in large cities before thousands of attendees. He was asked to speak not only for religious organizations but for the likes of state legislatures and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Death Pedals - local punks spit out noise-rock'n'roll like Hot Snakes' London cousins.
Unfortunately, due to work commitments, Big Naturals have had to pull out of this show.
However, their place on the bill has been replaced by MxLx, which is Matt, from BEAK> and Team Brick's new project:
Week Monday!
Ahhh man
I can't make any of these shows. Sounds absolutely great though - Fox is such an amazing drummer.

Thank you for summarizing.
2. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000M_Miller12345 May 30, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to OC92135)
As the original topic starter in the related thead, I wanted to thank the following people:
OC92135 for his summary above!
Chris Campbell, who forwarded the request to the installer team. Even though they declined to make the change, Chris' efforts were professional and thoughtful and the type of response all of us greatly appreciate.
Oldperl & Pat Willener, for the wrapper workaround posts.
Mrs. Clift & AcroNot, for keeping the prior thread active and a special extra thanks to AcroNot for his detailed explanation (with screenshots) of the best and easiest fix for this issue.
Finally, MAD PROPS to NOTBEBE, who discovered the most elegant, simple, and best solution for Win2K users. For me, it worked flawlessly.
Thank you again,
Mark Miller
3. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000andyross63 Jun 14, 2012 2:45 PM (in response to OC92135)
I found a possible issue with this Win2K fix. I used it on the latest 11.2 release (it sounds like the 11.3 has more issues.) Flash itself works fine, but this morning, I got an error that FlashUtil(blahblah) had that SetDLLDirectoryW error. Looking in the event viewer, I found the file name. It's in \winnt\system32\macromed\flash. There may be 2 versions if you have the IE and other versions installed. I guess it's part of the updater and was trying to run, even through I told the installer I do not want automatic checking. Presumably it runs, see's it's not supposed to run, then ends?
Anyways, I did the same hexedit fix. I'll see if that fixes the issue, or I'll have to roll back to the last 11.x that worked properly as-is.
I did look through the obivous RUN entries in the registry, but don't see where it's set to run. Since it was working fine for the past week or two, it's running off of some scheduler or I wold have had the issue on the next reboot.
4. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000OC92135 Jul 19, 2012 5:46 AM (in response to andyross63)
I apologize that I might not be able to reply to all enquiries. I only use Windows 2000 on 1 machine and have not been on that machine lately. I'll probably stick with Adobe Flash 220.127.116.11 for awhile.
The post above by andyross63 implies that after using the hexedit hack to successfully install Flash 11.x on Windows 2000, you should try to ensure that Flash auto-update features are completely disabled. Otherwise, an auto-update may try to download and run a newer installer which is not compatible with Windows 2000. Hopefully, if that happens it would be non-destructive, or you could roll back by rerunning the hacked installer that was working for you.
Many people are much more knowledgeable than me. I just tried to repost what worked for me in easy-to-understand language.
5. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000andyross63 Jul 19, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to OC92135)
Actually what happens is that the auto-upate itself has the same issue as the Flash installer. I haven't found where to disable it yet. Every other Friday, it keeps asking to update.
6. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000pwillener Jul 19, 2012 5:59 PM (in response to andyross63)
I suggest that you disable the auto-updater; not in the registry, but in the Task Scheduler.
7. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000andyross63 Jul 20, 2012 3:07 PM (in response to pwillener)
There's nothing in my Task Scheduler.
8. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000pwillener Jul 20, 2012 7:57 PM (in response to andyross63)
Really - then how does it get to run?
Another way would be to disable the service.
9. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000pwillener Jul 20, 2012 8:00 PM (in response to andyross63)
Ah - what is your Flash Player version? If it is a version before 11.2, you should disable it from http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
10. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000andyross63 Jul 23, 2012 2:45 PM (in response to pwillener)
I tried that and unchecked the option. I'll see if it works, but it probably won't trigger until next Friday. I am using 11.2.something.
11. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000bblackh1 Jul 24, 2012 9:23 PM (in response to OC92135)
If you are having trouble, you can always revert back to 10.3.183.11
which installs correctly on Windows 2000 even though that version
has security risks. The 10.1.102.64 listed version is giving an installer error
now that says, "This is an outdated version of Flash, and we are directing
you back to the Adobe website and will not install the version we are
recommending for Windows 2000 and there is nothing to find for Windows
2000 when you go to that webpage." So I just installed 10.3.183.11 and
it worked fine with no installer error messages.
12. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000pwillener Jul 24, 2012 10:53 PM (in response to bblackh1)
The latest patched version of 10.3 is 10.3.183.20; you can download the installer from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
13. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000bblackh1 Jul 24, 2012 11:18 PM (in response to pwillener)
Problem is that the installer fails on any version newer than 10.3.183.11
when you try to install on Windows 2000. Not sure why.
14. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000pwillener Jul 25, 2012 2:27 AM (in response to bblackh1)
How does it fail?
15. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000MaxedSEO Sep 6, 2012 10:56 AM (in response to OC92135)
ADDED HOURS LATER = The Uninstaller will not finction.. Suggestions? I treid a regedt for the two items...and nothing.. Does one have to use the hex on the uninstaller maybe? Heck, I'll give that a try.
Greetings all and I hope "someone" can help..
Also? to Mark Miller..
Finally, MAD PROPS to NOTBEBE, who discovered the most elegant, simple, and best solution for Win2K users. For me, it worked flawlessly.
Where is this one please?
First thanks to > OC92135 for the hack..
I was on 10.x version of Flash...and all worked fine
BUT? I have Win2kServer and it installed Using Firefox 12.0 <the last one that works etc> But now FF us freezing when Adobe
Did the 11.x.x235 one, but?
Uninstaller from CCleaner says Set DLL Directy W etc...can't be found.. Did regedit search as thought I would have to change it back..
So, what I want to do first is to Uninstall FF 12 but I can't even download it from www.oldapps.com now w/out freezin..
How may I get the danged FLASH out of my system? <smile>
Thanks in advance,
16. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000bblackh1 Sep 6, 2012 2:37 PM (in response to MaxedSEO)
You should be able to disable the offending flash version
in the Tools->Add Ons->Plugins of Firefox. Then you can
uninstall and reinstall flash without problems.
17. Re: Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000trodas Oct 30, 2012 11:25 AM (in response to bblackh1)
I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 184.108.40.206, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 188.8.131.52, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange
(could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

Thank you for your uploads I was able to download from depositfiles. I tried to copy the Flash files C:\WINNT\Macromed\Flash and C:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash but didn't worked I have installed Netscape Navigator and Firefox 3.6 I couldn't run Flash setup because of kernel32.dll error. Can you help me, where should I copy these 2 files? Thank you.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Fourth-liners Mike Brown and Raffi Torres scored second-period goals to spark a San Jose comeback and lead the Sharks to a 7-2 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Kings and a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.
Justin Braun, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton also scored for the Sharks, who overcame a two-goal deficit after the first period of a playoff game for just the third time in 26 tries in franchise history. Antti Niemi made 24 saves.
Jake Muzzin and Trevor Lewis scored first-period goals before Jonathan Quick allowed seven goals in the final two periods. Los Angeles heads home for Game 3 on Tuesday looking to get back into this series.
The Kings can take comfort in the fact that the home team has won 18 of the previous 19 games between these teams, including nine in the playoffs. But Los Angeles will need to break that spell to have a chance to win this series as the Sharks have home-ice advantage a year after losing Game 7 in the second round at Los Angeles last year.
The Kings appeared poised to do just that when they scored twice in the first period and appeared to be getting a bounce-back performance from Quick, who was pulled after allowing five goals in two periods of a 6-3 loss in Game 1 on Thursday.
Quick gave up just 10 goals in seven games to the Sharks last post-season but surpassed that total in less than 4 1/2 periods in the rematch.
The Sharks seized momentum from the opening shift of the second period thanks to some big hits and aggressive forechecking from Thornton and Brent Burns.
Coach Todd McLellan then juggled his lines, moving Tomas Hertl to the top line with Thornton and dropping Pavelski to third-line centre, giving the Sharks depth the Kings couldn't match.
It was the often overlooked fourth-liners who got the comeback started. Known for their ability to deliver hard hits and get into fights, the line of Andrew Desjardins, Torres and Brown has set the tone for the Sharks this series.
Brown pushed Slava Voynov into Quick early in Game 1 and Torres added a goal in that contest. They came through even more in Game 2 with Brown scoring his first career playoff goal on a quick shot from the slot after a turnover by Kyle Clifford to get the Sharks on the board early in the second.
Midway through the period, Desjardins dropped a perfect pass to Torres, who beat Quick up high for the equalizer. Torres missed the final six games of last year's series for a hit to the head of Jarret Stoll but has made his impact felt so far in the rematch.
The Sharks took the lead late in the period when Braun beat Quick with a shot from the point through a screen by Tommy Wingels.
Marleau, Pavelski and Couture turned it into a blowout with goals off odd-man rushes in the third before Thornton scored a power-play goal to match a San Jose playoff record with seven goals in a game.

The fire caused an estimated $500,000 in damage.
A five-alarm fire destroyed a Civil War-era building Monday morning in Williamsport, displacing the building's residents and erasing more than a century of history. The fire, which caused an estimated $500,000 in damage, was caused by a mechanical failure in an oil-burning furnace. More than 20 fire companies responded to the 7:18 a.m. call. No one was injured in the blaze. The building sat on the historic town square in Williamsport and was the location of Wolfe's on the Square, a liquor and convenience store that operated in the town for decades.

About Immortal
Of all the Norwegian black metal bands, Immortal has, arguably, stuck the closest to the mystical, occult-inspired vision of the scene: the bandmembers kept the evil-Kiss makeup throughout the band's existence, rarely experimented outside of the traditional guitars-drums-bass instrumental configuration, and never revealed their real names. Brothers in pseudonyms only, vocalist/bassist Abbath Doom Occulta and guitarist Demonaz Doom Occulta formed Immortal in Bergen, Norway, in 1990. Abbath was originally a member of Old Funeral, a death metal garage band that also included Varg Vikernes, who would later gain notoriety not only with his own project, Burzum, but for murdering Mayhem guitarist Euronymous; Demonaz had split from fellow Bergen scenesters Amputation. (Notably, Immortal always willfully separated itself from Mayhem's oft-felonious black metal "inner circle" scene in Oslo, and downplayed its relationships with its members.) Inspired by the robust Norwegian forests and bitter cold climate, Abbath and Demonaz conceived the fictional, demon-and-battle-filled realm Blashyrkh, a foundation upon which all of Immortal's lyrical journeys would rest.
The duo recruited drummer Armagedda and, briefly, second guitarist Jorn Inge Tunsberg, who left the fold after Immortal cranked out two demos, Suffocate and Northern Upins Death. Preferring to remain a three-piece, the band recorded the Unholy Forces of Evil/The Cold Winds of Funeral Frost 7" for the French label Listenable Records in 1991, which eventually led to Immortal's contract with another French imprint, Osmose Records. Their debut full-length, Diabolical Full Moon Mysticism, was released in 1992 (distributed in North America by JL America); a more atmospheric, slower-tempo release than the majority of Immortal's contemporaries. When Abbath and Demonaz began incorporating more blast beats in their songwriting, Armagedda quit, forcing Abbath to perform all drum tracks on Immortal's two highly influential albums, 1993's Pure Holocaust and 1995's Battles in the North. However, drummer Grim was pictured on the Pure Holocaust album cover, and would perform on Immortal's first full-fledged European tour in 1993, prior to being fired (he would go on to play drums for Gorgoroth and Borknagar, eventually committing suicide in 1999). Mayhem skinsman Hellhammer temporarily filled the drum seat for the band's live commitments and the home video Masters of Nebular Frost, until Horgh could be permanently added to the lineup.
It was after the 1997 album Blizzard Beasts was released that Immortal would be dealt its most serious blow. With an acute case of tendonitis in his arms, Demonaz could no longer play guitar with the speed and intensity Immortal required, and was forced to leave the band, although he remained the group's lyricist. Abbath switched from bass to guitar, and the group filled its bass slot with Aeturnus four-stringer Ares strictly for touring duties. Demonaz's absence left the band's songwriting burden purely on Abbath, who began penning more progressive, dynamic, and epic pieces. Abbath would perform all instruments except drums on 1999's highly acclaimed At the Heart of Winter full-length, which marked the beginning of the band's relationship with producer Peter Tagtgren (singer/guitarist for Hypocrisy), who recorded Winter and its two follow-up albums at his soon-to-be-legendary Abyss Studios. Bassist Iscariah was then permanently added to the lineup, which put out Damned in Black in 2000, and led to Immortal's first full-fledged North American tour with fellow Norwegians Satyricon. In 2001, the band, looking for better U.S distribution for its albums, severed its longtime relationship with Osmose and signed to Nuclear Blast Records, which released Sons of Northern Darkness in 2002. ~ John Serba
