Valpo to Face Notre Dame in Madison for Round One of NCAA Tournament
Sunday, November 28, 2004Valparaiso University's First Round NCAA Tournament opponent is a familiar one, as the Crusaders will battle Notre Dame on Friday evening at 5 p.m. in Madison, Wis.
The Crusaders earned the Mid-Continent Conference's automatic bid after winning the league's tournament, sweeping Oral Roberts in the championship. Valpo defeated Notre Dame in five games back on September 7 to snap a 17-match losing skid to the Fighting Irish. The match, played in South Bend, saw the Crusaders rally from a game down for a 26-30, 30-24, 30-26, 24-30, 15-12 triumph.
Valpo (29-4, 14-0 Mid-Con) has won nine straight matches entering the NCAA Tournament, and 23 of their last 24 overall.
Notre Dame (20-8, 9-1 BIG EAST) earned the automatic bid out of the BIG EAST after winning the league tournament, sweeping Pittsburgh in the title match.
In the other first round match held on Friday in Madison, 14th-seeded Wisconsin (19-9, 13-7 Big Ten) will face Loyola (Ill.) (22-8, 10-4 Horizon) at 7 p.m. The two first round winners will meet on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Memorial Service for Dr. Jay ThomasOct 12, 2012, 1:00 PM
Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center (2014 Cedar Street) - Forest Grove
Pacific invites community members and friends to a service for the professor emeritus who passed away last month.
Dr. Jay Thomas, professor emeritus from the School of Professional Psychology, died Monday, Sept. 24, surrounded by his closest family.
Pacific University will host a memorial service at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, in his honor. The service will be in the Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center, with refreshments to follow on the patio. All are welcome.
Dr. Thomas spent more than 13 years as a member of the Pacific University family. Receiving his bachelor's degree from Portland State, and his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Akron in Ohio, he was a dedicated teacher who helped found Pacific's master's degree in counseling. He mentored students and led student teams in a variety of community service activities.
He served as assistant dean of Pacific's School of Professional Psychology and director of the school's counseling program. He was named the 2010 Distinguished University Professor, one of Pacific's highest honors. That year he also was appointed to the executive committee of the American Board of Professional Psychology, where he served as secretary.
Dr. Thomas retired last year and received professor emeritus status in Spring 2012.
His contributions to Pacific, his commitment to students and his expertise and friendship as a colleague will be greatly missed.

Dennis Bergeron disovered his first Where's George bill at the Woburn Post Office on April 3, 2003 when the clerk behind the counter handed over his change. She pointed out that it was a "Where's George" bill, and he could check out where it has been online.
After that, Bergeron, of Burlington, was hooked on tracking other bills and fascinated with their nationwide travels.
Bergeron uses wheresgeorge.com to track the bills. The site allows users to record various currency and mark them with an address before spending them.
"The hope is that, as the bills make their rounds, people will go to the website and record where they came across them," wrote The Wall Street Jounral. "Those who registered the bills, and anyone who records a find, are notified by email of each new entry, and can see the entire trail by visiting the site."
Bergeron has tracked bills for nearly 10 years, and has entered 23,447 individual bills varying from $1 up to $100. Of those, 1,835 have been '"hit" (meaning entered by another user) and 220 of them have been entered more than once.
"I have found 68 'wilds,'" said Bergeron, "which are bills that someone else has entered into the database and either stamped or written the website on. My bills have been entered in 47 states, the only hold outs are Alaska, Nebraska and South Dakota. They have also been entered in 12 other countries."
The site also allows users to search for bills by their denomination, series number, the serial number and the zip code from the location of the bill.
"You can also leave a message, usually stating where you found the bill or what condition it is in," said Bergeron. "From there, you can do one of three things, 1. Stamp the bill with a premade stamp. Most users buy them from www.stamp-connection.com, 2. Write the website on the bill with a pen or pencil, or 3. Leave it blank also known as a 'Stealth' bill. The mantra of Where's George is 'EMS' for Enter, Mark and Spend. Once you spend it, you hope someone sees the stamp and is curious enough to goto the site and reenter the bill."
Bergeron marveled at how far some bills have traveled.
"Some bills get hits within the first week of me spending them," he said. "And some take 2-5 years, and others just don't get re-entered."

Best Free Windows 64-bit Software
Here are the top freeware picks for 64-bit Windows in their various categories. This list will continue to grow as we add new categories and new products. Go to the page index for the category you are interested in or read more about 64-bit Windows by following the links in the related articles. Normally the products will a review in the corresponding freeware categories so I will provide an excerpt from that review. Other comments will usually relate to 64-bit compatibility and operation.
The primary goal of this article is to find the best native 64-bit applications ( ) in each category. Where there is no 64-bit application in a category there will usually be a link to a review of 32-bit applications that includes some which are compatible with 64-bit Windows ( ). These 32-bit applications will usually run slower (due to emulation of the 32-bit environment) but are either the best in their class or have features that will be particularly useful to many 64-bit Windows users.
Although we do mention Windows XP Pro 64, all testing has been under 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, 7 or 8.

I only posted that fragbook because it explains various problems with discs and fragmentation very well in terms that more or less anybody can understand. Specific manuals tend to use too much specific terminology that hardly anybody not involved with them understands! :)
Since I started using SSD's, file and disc fragmentation on those machines have dropped off my list altogether, although they were once a fairly high priority for me at least. I just try to do the best I can with what I have, just a hobby now, I don't even need most of it anyway! :)
Thanks for the interesting input!

Obviously 'one size fits all' cannot be applied to PC use. To an extent this is more complex than the 'Travelling Salesmen' problem as it is intangible. NP Hard / NP Complete problems at least have boundaries that we can state. Not computable in non-polynomial time being the most obvious. As computer scientists we work to address these issues and take our thinking forward. It isn't helped by people coming into the field that don't even know the fastest way to perform a sort, sigh...
Offers on the best way...Ordinary quick sort doesn't get you any points.

Well, I'm not a computer scientist as such, just a fairly experienced engineer, and the last sorting algorithm I had anything much to do with was library sort ( it's an insertion sort, fairly new, and invented in 2005 I believe). New ways to sort are still being invented. I really don't know enough about the alternatives or applications thereof to make any sensible comment, I am most certainly not on the cutting edge of forward thinking here, and I don't know the fastest way to sort per se either, so it looks like I am not going to get any points this time! :)

The MTBF may have improved but it doesn't change the fact that the drive will die. I can live with a two minute boot time safe in the knowledge that the machine will boot. If I really want a fast boot I go into Ubuntu :)

So we have turned full circle (once again).
You seem to be saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
by rikmayell (not verified) on 7. February 2010 - 6:23 (43033)
Well I wouldn't quite say full circle :)
Defragmenting the hard drive(s) will have an impact on performance, especially after a hefty dose of maintenance, such as installing a Service Pack. Improving file layout can also make a big difference, this requires knowledge of the files you use most and where best to move them to. This isn't rocket science you just have to put in a bit of hard work ;)
Although not highly regarded, the Microsoft disk defragmentation tool deals with the Boot Plan generated by ReadyBoot (sic.) MyDefrag is the only freeware tool that does that. So, if you don't use MyDefrag, don't disable the Windows tool.

We don't really give points here, but if we did you would get quite a few. You've been kind enough to stop by and read and further you've taken time to join in by posting. Finally what you don't say in your post says more than what you do. A rare gift in life indeed...
Thanks for your post.
Finally, if anyone does want the low down on the fastest sorting algorithm, contact me and I'll send it to you :)

PS. I have it running on several systems, Linux ( several distros), XP, and 7. Works great, no problems at all as yet. I am of course hoping that because it is in very active development that it gets even better, and am going to contribute if I can.
Would be a good idea for anybody else who wants a really good explorer alternative on 7 to contribute as well if they can.
I have no other connection with the project, I just think it's very good.

I still have no download for a 64 bit Windows binary.
Rik Mayell - Category Editor
by Anonymous on 10. February 2010 - 9:17 (43247)
That is very odd indeed. I know you don't normally allow direct download links, but I can't think of anything else in this case, remove TEST to use the link.
I have had no trouble with any of these downloads.
You can also reach the download page at Sourceforge by clicking on the "Download" link in the header of the first link page I posted.
Sourceforge can be rather difficult to navigate in some cases, but I don't understand what is happening here.
The only other thing I can think of is to search "Double Commander" on Google etc. this will also bring up various links. like this one: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Double-Commander.shtml ( I have not tried this download myself ).
Most sites carrying it and linking to it are in German.
by rikmayell (not verified) on 10. February 2010 - 14:23 (43274)
Okay, thanks to all of those that have pointed me in the right direction, I got the download in the end.
I haven't had chance to try "Double Commander" out fully but one immediate 'no, no', is that the folder names appear in bold when it is launched. No doubt someone will post a tip telling me how to change this. That though rather misses the point. When first started the application should use the system defaults, Sergio UI for Vista and later. If I decide to use a different font, make it bold, purple, or whatever then that is my choice. Well respected guidelines for User Interface elements in Windows have been around for years. Why are people still not following them?
When these fundamental issues have been addressed and a final stable release produced I will take another look.

rikmayell your WRONG about superantispy (SAS) it does so work with windows x64 = 64 bit ,Im running windows 7 ultimate x64 right now, and it works great.Maybe next time you should EXACTLY test a program before misleading people!
Moderator's Comment: While you are etitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to throw wild accusations at others on this site. Be nice or begone.
Please be respectful for the person, who has taken pains to prepare the wonderful article, so that people get help. There is nothing written in the article which is misleading.
It clearly says "The 64 bit version of SAS is currently undergoing beta testing. It is unclear if there will be a free version."
I don't know how do you take it as misleading. If you have to say a thing, you can say it in a nice way, even if you differ from his point of view.
by MidnightCowboy on 12. February 2010 - 13:52 (43438)
Rik is correct. It is still a pre-release as of version 4.90 dated 10th February, not yet fully functional and not recommended for use on machines except for testing and feedback purposes.
by rikmayell (not verified) on 12. February 2010 - 17:27 (43443)
Just read the article? It clearly states that 32 SAS works under Windows 7 / Vista 64, indeed it is top pick.
The 64 bit version of SAS has been under development for many months without a sign yet of a release date for the finished product. As, when, and if, a free 64 bit version of SAS is released it will be reviewed here.

Since Windows 7 64-bit does not seem to be quite ready for prime time, I wonder if it would not be helpful for many of us to be informed when new information is added to this page.
For instance something such as this appearing at the bottom:
"Better still, get XXX's latest Win.7 64-bit free software information delivered daily via your RSS feeder or alternatively, have the RSS feed sent as email direct to your in-box."
Any other thoughts?

We are currently reviewing the way the site works and making a large number of changes behind the scenes. The sort of 'notification' system you suggest is being actively considered. Personally, I concur with you, this has to be the way to go.
All I can say at present is watch this space.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the limitation in using Avira on 64 bit. See
which says:
* protection of AntiVir services is not activated;
* detection of active rootkits is not activated.
(due to lack of API from Microsoft)
The lack of rootkit protection seems a big limitation so I wonder if MS Security Essentials should not be the top choice. I may be biased but the only virus problem I've ever seen was a rootkit (due to AVG free not having rootkit protection).

I am using IrfanView and Adobe Digital Negativ (.dng) aand i just noticed that dng is not supported within Windows 7 x64. Or on the other hand, Adobe Dng does not support x64, which is a shame actually.
Now there seem to be free 64bit codecs for dng available from 3rd party providers (http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/). Has anyone tried one of those yet and is able to give a recommendation?
Great Thanx, mike

IrfanView does support .dng within Win7 x64. (it was just a bit tricky for me to find that)
Still there is a codec from Adobe(currently in beta/rc status) that adds windows explorer / gallery preview for .dng, which is currently not available for x64-systems. (That's the shame.) As i mentioned above there are alternatives.
So if someone tried any of these, please share your experience here.
A nice one to all, mike

First- I apologize if this has been covered- I didn't really want to read through numerous pages about this excellent article to see if it has been touched upon.
My comment is for 2 reasons- 1 is that it may prevent newbies from pulling their hair out, and the other is to show that MS does NOT THINK when they put out a SW app.
The file I am writing in regards to is 'SyncToy'. On their page- they have two download options. 1 that has an 'x64' ending, and one that has an 'x86' ending. WTF? I understand the naming convention- but wouldn't that confuse the hell out of some people that did not know what the numbers denoted??
Just had to mention the silliness.

Yes I can understand how that might confuse some people and will add something near the start of the article highlighting the difference. Thanks for bringing up a valuable point.

Kudos to the driver for not getting distracted and crashing! :eek: :lalala: :car: :boom:
Just need to work on their choice of music.
Nice but close to jail bait. You should see the real women down here.
No safety belts, but plenty of peroxide in use. Overall style was tacky, the ambients weren't worth preserving the road noise instead of overdubbing that bad music back in at full audio fidelity...good lawd, I'm turning into Gordon Ramsey.
When I saw all the heels go up I thought it was 'Bama girls:bolt:
When the driver jerked her head toward the camera abruptly to join in the dance, I was expecting the next scene to show the van swerving followed by screams and crash sounds, followed by sirens and a public service announcement about the importance of safety belts and the dangers of distracting the driver. :attention:

Hughes is 1 of my top 3 fav fighters.
I don't see him making 155 .. ever.
He's a big strong WW, and walks around at 190pounds (?). I just think the 35pound cut is WAY to much, and if he did make it...he'd be very zapped for the fight.
I can;t imagine how hard it would be for Matt to cut to 155, hes a strong 170 so he would have to cut muscle mass.
i would hate 2 see him at 155 it would be terible!

Oh God no, Hughes matches up terribly with Silva. He would never get anywhere near close enough for him to shoot and Silva would KO his ass in a second from the clinch. Hughes is just too small and too short for Silva. Silva would keep his ass at bay with his reach advantage and pepper him with shots. He'd also own the clinch (which is where Hughes gets most of his take downs). It would look like Silva/Franklin 1 except more brutal since Hughes is 5 or 6 inches shorter than Franklin -- easier for Silva to target his head with those knees. Even if Hughes did get on top, he doesn't have the best track record against BJJ black belts. Anderson would sub, sweep, or get back on his feet pretty quickly IMO.
No, Hughes best chance in the UFC is at WW.
He says he's got 2 or 3 fights left in him. I don't see it. Whether its at 155, 170, or 185. The only match up I'd like to see him in at 155 would be against Sherk, but that would just be a fight between two oversized lightweights that should be at 170 anyway. Hughes was awesome in his prime, but he didn't even look like the same fighter against GSP last time. I think GSP will beat Serra, then Hughes will fight Serra. If he's the same Hughes that showed up against GSP, that fight could go either way. But win or loose, I think he's done after that.
The Yankees never sent Mickey Mantle back to the minor leagues just because he wasn't going to get anymore triple crowns or be the league leading home run hitter and the UFC isn't going to send Hughes to the minors either.
WEC has a couple of good guys toward the top but overall they are the minor leagues. Hughes would retire first. No consideration given whatsoever.

BJ Penn is the first fighter to hold titles at LW and WW, then he fights GSP and is LW, WW, and MW.
The BJ beats Lyoto at lhw.
BJ has 4 belts in the UFC.
All Athletic commisions turn down a fight between BJ and the UFC HW champ of the time, and BJ once again walks away to go fight in Japan.
*I've been drinking.
you know what tho, Penn could win all those fights. I really don't see Penn staying at lw for very long, by this time next year i don't think he'll be around in the lw division.
lets say he beats Joe Daddy in january
lets also say he beats Sean Sherk in may
and than who, maybe a showdown with Roger Huerta.
hell after his fight with Sherk he could move on.
If they get Gomi, maybe he'll stay to fight him at lw too.
cutting to 155 he can't do and won't.
if it were possible atthis point in his career, he'd be taking on a division that is quicker, and when your getting older like hughes, the first thing that goes and becomes apparent when your getting older, is your quickness. He also would have to deal with Penn, whose better to fight at 155 and would beat Hughes.
I said this before, Hughes said he has 2 or 3 fights left in him.
If its 2 fights, than a fight with Serra and a fight with Penn are his 2 must fights.
If Hughes thinks he can fight a little longer, and moves to Middleweight, a move results in Hughes getting a fight and if he wins, likely faces the champion imo, not staying i think he'd deserve it however i'm sure he wouldn't have to win 3 fights at mw to get a title shot.
This is what i want to see. He fights Serra when Serra loses. He wins he moves to mw, fights whoever in a number 1 contender fight. If he keeps winning he could retire on top however, if he loses a mw fight, than he could always drop and fight BJ Penn at 170, for his last fight, win or lose i'd see him retiring than.
I think its too little, too late for hughes. I mean the only reason it would be good for him is if he did cut weight and fought penn for the rubber match. Other than that hughes already said he only has a fight or 2 left in him. If he were to fight 4 to 6 more times, then I would say yes, cut weight. hughes would lose some of his frekish strength but I believe he would be in the top 3 lw with penn and sherk. But if he only has 1 or 2 fights left, then he should stay at ww and try to fight serra.
Hughes won't be going to WEC. the guys got like 1-3 fights left in him, he's not gonna spend them in the WEC. and Silva's way too good off of his back for hughes to beat him. filho(or philo if you're sundance) is a different story, though. after the sonnen fight, i think i'd pick hughes against him. only thing i really care about hughes doing before he retires is another fight with BJ and a showdown with Serra and at this point i don't see hughes really doing any other fights other than those.

Hi all,
I know that many of you have expressed the desire to participate in the PNP 5000 but you are in need of a receiving rescue or shelter. I have not kept track of the posts individually but if you look through the PNP 5000 board, or the discussion we began several weeks ago under General Discussions, 5000 Animal Transport Week, you will see some offers to receive listed. It is YOUR responsiblity to check out those who are offering to receive and up to you to approve them. I am simply pointing out these two places to look.
Pilots, please look at the board to see where you can help, there are several requests waiting to be filled.
Rescues and Shelters, please spread the work and get more groups involved!
Thanks to all for working so hard towards this goal!!

For The Herald Bulletin
PENDLETON, Ind. —
Through the wind and rain, the Anderson Indians brought home their first title in the 57th Annual Pendleton Track Invitational Thursday night at Pendleton Heights High School.
Not quite a week removed from a second place finish at the Madison County meet, the Indians used a big night from Jalin Beard to outscore Mt.Vernon 151.5-141. Beard, who did not run Friday at the County meet, scored wins in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, the long jump and led off Anderson's win in the 4X100 relay to account for forty points.
"Jalin was out of track and field last year," Anderson coach Cary House said. "He's a phenomenal athlete and was the difference in the meet tonight."
The Indians dominated the shorter sprint races, taking home the 100 and 200 meter dash blue ribbons, a second in the 400 (Samaj White), a third in the 110 hurdles (Jaylen Pierce) and a 1st place in the 4X100 (Beard, Marc Andrews, Dorian Wilson, Pierce).
"I knew we were going to get better every week we run," House said. "It was a shame that last week was our first meet, the county is such a big meet. We still have lots of room for improvement." The Indians were presented with the Invitational trophy and immediately took off on a loud victory lap around the track.
"We're thrilled. It's a nice rebound from Friday," said House. "Every time you can come out and represent your school well, it's a bonus. That's what we're here for, to represent our school the best we can and I thought we did tonight."
Host Pendleton came home third with 119 points, a solid night for a young team running at home for the first time. "As young as our team is, we run nothing but freshmen and sophomores in the sprint events," Arabian coach Ryan Potter said. "Running at home was a little bit of a wake up call for them. Their friends are here, their families are here, it's (running at home) a little bit of a distraction."
Pendleton scored victories in the shot put and discus with Skyler Prol along with a high jump title for Sean Brady. The Arabians had runnerup finishes in the 800 meter run (Colby Knecht), 1600 meter run (Brandon Smith), 3200 meter run (Eli Young), high jump (TJ Hicks), pole vault (Mark McCallister) and long jump (Sean Brady).
"I can't complain, we had a really good night," said Potter. "We competed well. We have some things to work on and we can move forward with it."
Yorktown came home fourth with 71 points, Lapel finished fifth with 59.5 points, Liberty Christian was sixth with 33 and Frankton was seventh with 32 points. Lapel's Dalton Busch scored third place finishes in the 100 and 400, Bailey Partington was third in the 800 and the 4X100 relay team also finished third.
Frankton's Bobby Brown placed second in the 110 meter and 300 meter hurdles to go along with a fifth place in the high jump. Liberty Christian's Austin Castor finished third in the 300 meter hurdles, while Franklin Nunn had a fourth in the 400 dash and fifth in the 100 dash.

We ... call on African governments to make the most of the upcoming review conference... The review conference comes at a critical time in the development of the ICC. ... [T]he court faces important challenges to implementing its mandate successfully, includ[ing] challenges in conducting court operations, such as obtaining adequate support ... [and] external attacks on the institution... The review conference offers an exceptional occasion for African governments to help advance the global fight against impunity by restating their commitment to justice for the victims of grave crimes and offering views on the development of international criminal justice and the ICC.
The majority of the ICC caseload has come from Africa, causing tense relations with the governments in the region. The ICC on Wednesday sent a delegation [JURIST report] from the Office of the Prosecutor [official website] to Guinea to further investigate the killing of more than 150 pro-democracy protesters in Conakry in September 2009. In March, ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] submitted [JURIST report] to ICC judges the names of 20 senior political and business leaders who "bear the gravest responsibility" for the deadly violence perpetrated after Kenya's 2007 presidential election [JURIST news archive]. In March 2009, the ICC issued an arrest warrant [JURIST report] for Sudanese head of state Omar al-Bashir [ICC materials, PDF; JURIST news archive], charging him with seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, but declining to charge him with genocide. The warrant was rejected [BBC report] by Bashir, and strongly denounced [Reuters report] by the chairman of the African Union (AU) [official website], Muammar al-Gaddafi [BBC profile]. Gaddafi described the warrant as a form of terrorism and raised the possibility of the withdrawal of African member states in protest.
The Court would ... have to step beyond the proper role of the Judiciary, for Virginia does not satisfy ... standing to sue. The Commonwealth asserts it has standing to vindicate a sovereign interest in its new statute purporting to exempt Virginians from any federal requirement to purchase health insurance. A state cannot, however, manufacture its own standing to challenge a federal law by the simple expedient of passing a statute purporting to nullify it. ... Virginia itself neither has sustained a direct and concrete injury, nor is in immediate danger of such an injury. In seeking to speak on behalf of unnamed citizens, Virginia brings into a judicial setting arguments that failed in the legislative arena, where a proponent need not show immediate and concrete harm.
The Virginia General Assembly [official website] passed the ban on a federal mandate in March. The Virginia Health Care Freedom Act was the first of its kind [WP report] passed by any state, and says that no individual shall be held liable if they refuse to sign up for health care. Earlier this month, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) [association website], a small business lobby group, joined a lawsuit [complaint, PDF; JURIST report] challenging the health care reform law. The NFIB joined 20 states in a suit that began in March when a complaint seeking injunction and declaratory relief was filed [JURIST reports] in the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida [official website]. Among the allegations in the suit are violations of Article I and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution [text], committed by levying a tax without regard to census data, property, or profession, and for invading the the sovereignty of the states. The plaintiffs also assert that the law should not be upheld under the Commerce Clause. Also in May, the US Department of Justice [official website] filed [JURIST report] a response [brief text] to a lawsuit [complaint, PDF] challenging the health care law filed in March by the Thomas More Law Center [advocacy website] on the same day President Barack Obama signed the bill into law [JURIST report].
The charges against Saeed had been filed under the Pakistani Anti-Terrorism Act [text] and were related to speeches Saeed gave while visiting Faisalabad last year. It is claimed that he discussed [Times of India report] the significance of Jihad and asked for funding for his charity Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), which is believed to be a front for the LeT. Saeed's lawyer successfully argued that JuD was not a banned group. In September, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik announced that his government would indict seven suspects [JURIST report] for their role in the attacks, also requesting further evidence from India that Saeed was involved in planning the attacks. Mumbai has suffered a number of terrorist attacks allegedly linked to the LeT in recent years, leading the government to consider controversial terrorism laws and to institute special courts [JURIST reports] to try suspects.
The Thai government's response to the recent conflict in Bangkok has been criticized by international human rights organizations. Last week, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] expressed concern [JURIST report] about the treatment of anti-government protesters detained during the Bangkok demonstrations. The organization chided the Thai government for enacting a "draconian" emergency decree giving Thai security forces broad power to arrest individuals without formal charges and hold them in secret detention. The decree, which lacks judicial oversight, also prevents detainees from having access to legal counsel or family members. Earlier this month, a Thai court sentenced 27 protesters to six months in prison for violating the emergency decree. Under the strict security law [JURIST report] adopted in anticipation of the protests, the red shirts initially faced up to a year in prison, but their confessions allowed the district court to commute their sentences [AFP report]. During their protests, the red shirts demanded that Prime Minster Vejjajiva Abhisit resign and called for new elections. The Thai government implemented a curfew [JURIST report] in Bangkok and other areas of the country last week in response to violence that erupted when the leader of the red shirts announced an end to the protests. The curfew remains in effect as the government tries to maintain order.
the Administration is of the view that the proposed amendment meets the concerns raised by the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The proposed amendment will ... ensure that the implementation of the repeal is consistent with standards of military readiness, effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting and retention. [S]uch an approach recognizes the critical need to allow our military and their families the full opportunity to inform and shape the implementation process.
In March, Gates announced changes to the enforcement [JURIST report] of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy to make it more difficult to expel openly gay service members from the military. Also in March, Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) introduced the Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2010 to the Senate [official websites]. The repeal of the controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has been an important issue for President Barack Obama since he took office, and its inclusion in the State of Union Address [JURIST report] reaffirmed it as a top priority for the administration. In January, legal advisers for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen [official profile], suggested that he delay any internal efforts [JURIST report] to repeal the policy until 2011.
The international community is supporting actions taken against piracy. Yemen's Ministry of Defense announced last week that a Yemeni court sentenced six Somali pirates to death [JURIST report] and six additional pirates to 10-year jail sentences for the hijacking of a Yemeni oil tanker in April 2009. Earlier this month, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) [office website] announced that the island nation of Seychelles will create a UN-supported center [JURIST report] to prosecute suspected pirates. This will be the second such court established for the prosecution of pirates, following only Kenya. Last month, the UN Security Council approved a resolution [JURIST report] calling on member states to criminalize piracy under their domestic laws and urging Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official website] to consider an international tribunal for prosecuting piracy. The Security Council resolution came the same week the UN announced that a trust fund established to combat piracy will be funding five projects [UN News Centre report] aimed at piracy committed in the waters around Somalia.
Last week, Khodorkovsky ended a two-day hunger strike [JURIST report] after a spokesperson for Medvedev indicated that Medvedev was familiar with a complaint Khodorkovsky made regarding the three-month extension of his detention. Also last week, Khodorkovsky sent an open letter to Russia's Supreme Court [official website, in Russian] contending that Russian courts are ignoring recent changes in the law that allow people charged with economic crimes to be released on bail pending the outcome of their trials. Khodorkovsky indicated the goal of his hunger strike had been achieved [press release], and that his intention was to change the judicial system going forward and not his current situation. Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev [defense website] are currently serving eight-year prison sentences after being convicted [JURIST report] in 2005 on fraud and tax evasion charges stemming from an attempt to embezzle and strip their Yukos [JURIST news archive] oil company of valuable assets. They are now charged with embezzling [JURIST report] USD $25 billion worth of oil produced by Yukos. The men have pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to the current charges, and face up to 20 additional years in prison if convicted.
By allowing Judge Garzon to be charged and suspended for carrying out his judicial duty to interpret the law as requiring the investigation of credible complaints of over 100,000 disappearances and executions, Spain is violating its positive legal duties arising from both domestic and international law to protect and enforce rights that are core to the implementation and enforcement of all human rights. ... The paramount duty of states to ensure and allow effective investigations of disappearances and executions has been defined by international instruments and interpreted and confirmed by national and international tribunals. ... Disappearances and executions remain in widespread use by states across the economic spectrum as a brutally effective means of neutralizing suspected opponents with absolute impunity. In the struggle between law and realpolitik, Judge Garzon has been a singular advocate for the proper universal enforcement of human rights and therefore one of the world's most effective opponents of impunity. The charges against him have effectively silenced him and will indubitably have a chilling effect on other judges called to make unpopular decisions regarding allegations of serious criminal wrongdoing by former state agents.
Last week, the judiciary oversight committee of the CGPJ approved a request [JURIST report] by Garzon to work with the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website]. The ICC confirmed earlier this month [press release] that they had asked Garzon to work for them as a consultant for a period of seven months in order to improve their investigative methods. The CGPJ granted Garzon's request for leave indicating there was no legal reason preventing him from working as a consultant with the ICC. Thousands gathered [JURIST report] in cities across Spain last month in support of Garzon, chanting slogans and displaying flags of the pre-war Republican government ousted by Franco. Garzon is widely known for using universal jurisdiction extensively in the past to bring several high-profile rights cases, including those against Osama bin Laden and former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet [JURIST news archives].
Earlier this month, Wako published [JURIST report] the country's draft constitution [text, PDF], which proposes more balance of power in the government. President Mwai Kibaki [official profile], Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka have all supported the proposed constitution [Daily Nation report] and have urged citizens to approve it in the public referendum. Despite the government leaders' widespread calls for cooperation and support, the proposed constitution still faces criticism, particularly from Kenyan religious figures who oppose [Daily Nation report] the draft's position on abortion, marriage, and divorce. The president's Cabinet members have encouraged the religious leaders to support the draft constitution and then pursue their goals through the political process [AP report] after the constitution is ratified. The draft includes several significant checks on presidential authority, including a requirement that presidential appointees face parliamentary confirmation and the removal of presidential appointment of judges. Members of Parliament receiving Cabinet positions will also have to relinquish their legislative seats. The changes are intended to reduce the widespread injustice throughout the country, and specifically address issues that led to violence following the 2007 presidential elections [JURIST news archive] where tens of thousands of protesters took to Kenya's streets accusing Kibaki of election fraud after early opinion polls suggested rival Odinga was in the lead.

Belk celebrates 125th anniversary
- Last Updated on 09:57 AM 06/03/13
- BY Danielle Vaughn
Some 125 years ago, William Henry Belk opened his first store in Monroe, N.C. On Wednesday morning, dozens came out to help Belk celebrate its 125th anniversary in the Hupps Mill Plaza Shopping Center in South Boston.
The event kicked off with a V.I.P. breakfast for special guests and dignitaries.
Following the breakfast, Store Manager Shane Markham greeted the crowd waiting outside the store and introduced the Rev. Jack Stewart who gave the invocation for the event.
"Today is the day when, in 1888, William Henry Belk opened his first store in Monroe, N.C. The store here in downtown South Boston originally opened as one of the first Leggett stores back in the late 1920s. The Leggett stores were privately owned but were always assisted in operations by Belk in Charlotte, N.C," Markham told the crowd.
The store at Hupps Mill opened in 1986 and became a Belk Store in the mid-1990s, Markham continued.
"Mr. Robert A. Leggett was the first store manager here, and he had a famous quote as he addressed his salespeople prior to opening the South Boston location: 'The most important thing in the store is to be nice to people, not just sell them merchandise. If you're nice to people, people will be nice to you. I'm not your boss. The customer is your boss,'" Markham said. "Belk's tradition of customer service is still rooted in Mr. Leggett's belief."
Markham said Belk Inc. and Belk of South Boston are both very proud of their rich heritage.
"Even though some of the industry that was once here has disappeared, our store continues to be a shopping destination because of its friendly service, convenience and a merchandise selection that otherwise would be available in larger cities," Markham said. "But most importantly, it is successful because of you. This is what today's celebration is all about. It's our customers and community that allow us to thrive. On behalf of my entire staff, we are here to say thank you."
Guests were serenaded by a vocal performance by Tammy Jones who sang "God Bless The USA" and Jakob Markham who played the guitar.
Halifax County Chamber of Commerce President Nancy Pool and Halifax Mayor Dick Moore addressed the crowd.
Pool has been with the chamber for 33 years and she and the chamber have always been huge supporters of Belk, according to Markham.
Pool explained how much Belk means to the community.
"I hope you all will break out your dollars or credit cards and enjoy what they have to offer in the store. But I want you also to think about shopping in Halifax County. It is so important. I don't know that folks think about how important it is. It puts in money, and it drives the economy. These folks employ folks. Of the sales tax that we spend, one cent of that sales tax comes back to the community. So we need to remember to shop here and shop Halifax County first. Shane, Belk, his employees are great assets to our community, and we are truly blessed to have a great store, a store that believes in the community, that gives back to the community. And the chamber of commerce is so pleased to count them in our family of businesses. The chamber is successful because of businesses just like them," Pool said.
Mayor Moore who also spoke Wednesday morning is a former employee of both Leggett and Belk Stores and worked in the buying office as a merchandise manager.
As town mayor he has supported public health an safety, promoted non-profit organizations in the community and championed efforts for the revitalization of downtown Halifax, Markham said as he welcomed Moore to the podium.
"We really don't know how lucky we are in the community to have a store like Belk. Belk is one of the finest retailer operations anywhere in the south. I understand they now have 303 stores," Moore said.
"Belk and Leggett have always been community-oriented. They always wanted to be part of the community. They encourage the employees to be part of the community. We are so fortunate to have a longtime store here. Look around here. A lot of the major retailers recently have not made it in the retail business. I with Mrs. Pool ask you to please support Halifax County."
Three employees were recognized for their dedication to Belk during the celebration including Mary Williams, who has worked at Belk for almost 25 years, Kathy Wood, who has worked for Belk almost 30 years, and Betty Davis, who has been employed with Belk 33 years.
Following the festivities, store employees, dressed in blue, waved blue pom poms and cheered ushering the crowd into the store for refreshments, gift cards and shopping.

Tajh Boyd said earlier this week that he's keeping his options open in regard to declaring for the NFL Draft.
Dabo Swinney says he, Boyd and the Tigers have more pressing concerns this week as they prepare for N.C. State. But after practice on Wednesday, Swinney offered his general guideline in advising players who are considering making an early jump to the NFL.
"I don't think any of them should leave unless they're a first -rounder," Swinney said. "I've been doing this too long, and I've had too many guys sit in my office when they realize that a million dollars isn't a million dollars.
"When you pay your taxes and buy a car and pay your agent, you'd better go to work. Unless you're a legitimate first rounder, you'd better come back."
With the end of the season approaching, Boyd is getting little mention from draft analysts as a high-pick projection in the 2013 draft.
Earlier this week he was named as one of 15 'players to watch' for the Walter Camp Award as national collegiate player of the year. There are eight other quarterbacks on the list.
One website - NFLDraftScout.com - lists 43 quarterbacks without mentioning the Clemson junior.
The Bleacher Report projects that just three quarterbacks will be taken in the first round - Southern Cal's Matt Barkey, West Virginia's Geno Smith, and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson. Tennessee's Tyler Bray, Georgia's Aaron Murray, and Oklahoma's Landry Jones are tabbed as second-round choices, with Florida State's EJ Manuel and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib going in the third round, along with N.C. State's Mike Glennon.
"Personally, I'd be surprised, very surprised, if he's not back here," Swinney said. "But that's not something we're really focusing on. There's a time and a place for that. Right now it's just about trying to finish the season."

Meadville Tribune
Emergency officials representing municipalities along French Creek in Crawford County are monitoring the creek this afternoon as large ice chunks with the potential to create ice dams and flooding have broken loose and are headed south.
A significant ice dam that contributed to some flooding in Cambridge Springs this morning broke apart early this afternoon, sending chunks south toward Saegertown and Meadville, according to Crawford County Office of Emergency Services Director Alan Clark. It is likely that those chunks will melt sufficiently and that the creek is wide enough that ice dams will not form, but word was put out to emergency officials in municipalities along the creek to monitor conditions.

Better ways to spend $350,000
The town of Cary wants feedback on a bridge proposal on Harrison Avenue between Chatham Street and Chapel Hill Road. Here is mine: Don't do it. Don't waste $350,000 studying this proposal.
If Cary is so intent on making a nice downtown area for residents, then take the money and spend it on a huge curb-appeal project and fix up the entrance to the town along Chapel Hill Road. The majority of homes need new roofs, painting and trash removal.
Why waste more than a quarter of a million dollars on a study when it could be better spent actually helping the residents of the town? The homes that surround our downtown area are old and need some curb appeal. A lot of the people who reside in them are longtime residents who don't have the financial means to maintain them, so let's help them and spend the money on something tangible that will make a huge difference.
I'd rather see my tax money spent on this type of project than a study of whether we need a bridge. If we need a bridge on Harrison, then won't we need one on Maynard Road and Chatham Street too?

There are just some things you should not do when debating politics.
"As a moderator, I thought this was an even debate, but I think you do not raise new issues in a final speech. That's just an understanding," said Richard Vatz, a Towson University professor and conservative politics blogger.
He was referencing State Sen. Nancy Jacobs (R-Cecil and Harford) who lobbed an attack at incumbent Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger in her closing arguments at a debate hosted by the Springdale Community Association Monday evening at Warren Elementary School. Ruppersberger was not given the chance to respond to her allegations.
After a series of questions regarding taxes, national security and the Affordable Care Act—to name a few—Jacobs attacked her opponent for a measure he supported during his time as County Executive.
Watch the videos for yourself and tell us who had the stronger closing argument. Stay with Patch as we provide a recap of Monday's debate Tuesday afternoon.
CORRECTION: This article has been updated to reflect the true nature of the moderator's comments regarding the candidates' closing remarks.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Good for you. When I quit I think they said that after 10 to 12 years your lungs have completely cleared. I know that biochemists say that cells are replaced about every 7 years, so we are new men. Good for another 10,000 miles. Warren
haven't lost all my balls (yet), Doc...I AM down to 5 though
Oh I have done that before, earn my points on hawaiigasprices.com at like 1am or so. Lol. I totally missed it those two times, though. I was several hours out (6-8 hrs) before I realized I missed them.
I wasn't going to be able to keep the consecutive days up much longer. I've been working so much lately that I forget to log prices until the last minute. It was bound to happen. Oh well. One million points soon and I get a new car.
I did use one due to hospitalization recently, and I think they told me one more time. Still awaiting a reply on my private message to them. Thanks for the response. I'm more looking forward to my 1 million mark coming up very soon.
Hi. Doc, good to hear from you. last month my son, Bobby, and I competed in the Senior Olympics in nearby Pasadena. He's only 70, so had somewhat stiffer competition, But we both came away with some 1st and 2nd place awards in events, of running long jump & throwing of the javelin, discus & softball. It's good fun and I've entered them over the years in various cities where I've been at the time. As for fun, we did another small boat trip in Alaska last year , & may visit Hawaii soon to meet & visit with our family from Japan.
Good morning Doc. Have a happy Thursday.
Ck this out doc.... https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t1.0-9/10500315_652146118199941_8348184505863691812_n.jpg

By GREG MENGELT
Jeff/GRC's long road back to Thursday's Little League 11-12-year-old state semifinals began with a big four-inning 12-2 win over Evansville Golfmoor on Monday.
After a tournament-opening loss to South Bend Waggoner, Jeff needs two more wins to reach the single-elimination portion of the tournament following Monday's victory. The Jeffersonville All-Stars face Elwood — a 6-4 winner over Waggoner on Monday — at 5:30 p.m. today at Fort Wayne's Time Corners Little League. The winner will then meet either Hagertown or Valparaiso with a spot in Thursday's semifinal-round on the line.
"We've got a very good mental makeup," Jeff manager Chuck Latham said. "Maybe it was the travel [to the tournament] — I'm not sure why — but we weren't sharp mentally [in Saturday's loss]. We let a few errors get us down."
Monday was a different story. Jeff came out and scored nine runs on six hits and never gave Golfmoor a chance.
"Our philosophy is as long as we have a strike [left], we have a chance. We like our chances of playing Thursday," Latham said.
Drew Taylor got Jeff going in the top of the first inning with a one-out single. Following singles by Luke Stock and Jack Ellis, two fielder's choice, two walks and a hit batter, Taylor gave Jeff a 9-0 first-inning lead with a grand slam.
"[The first inning] really set an unbelievable tone," Latham said. "It made the rest of the game a little easier for us and we never took our foot off the gas.
"What we really emphasized the last two days is confidence at the plate and they really came out and hit the baseball. They came out swinging and put a lot of balls in play."
After a scoreless second inning kept the score at 9-2, a Brady Latham RBI was followed by a Taylor two-RBI single to make it 12-2 and force the 10-run rule.
Taylor went 3-for-3 with six RBIs and he scored twice.
"Drew came into the game as our second-leading hitter, but we hadn't felt that he'd had a breakout game," Latham said. "He's on another level as a hitter. He's just a man-child at times. That home run was a blast and his other hits were line drives that were hit sharply, too."
Taylor was also the winning pitcher, giving up two runs on four hits in three innings.
"Drew was absolutely terrific," Latham said. "He got ahead of all of their hitters and Golfmoor is a terrific team. It was surprising to be playing them in an elimination game this early and they were a little tighter than we were."
Ethan English, who is expected to be the starting against Elwood today, pitched the fourth inning and struck out two of the three batters he faced in a perfect frame.
Brady Latham and Jack Ellis each scored twice and knocked in a pair of runs.
"The top of our order is a confident bunch right now," Latham said.
The bottom four batters in the Jeff order, including its subs, had six hits and scored five runs. Turon Mitchell scored twice. Seven different Jeff players had a hit and 10 scored at least one run.
"I thought our bench played terrific," Latham said. "Noah Hernandez played great defensively and Dylan Robinson came in and caught and did a terrific job."
After Saturday's 12-3 win over Terre Haute North, New Albany manager Josh Biven said he expected to play North again in this evening's single-elimination Little League 9-10 baseball state semifinal.
Auburn had a different idea.
With North's No. 1 pitcher — Matt Gauer — back at the hotel apparently with the flu, Auburn took advantage and beat the Terre Haute All-Stars 6-5.
New Albany overpowered Auburn 10-0 in four innings on Friday in the second round of the winners bracket.
"We're set up pretty well," Biven said. "We beat them in a quick 10-0 game, but they hit our top two pitchers pretty hard. We just made some nice plays behind them. If we come out and play our game, I think we're the better team."
Unbeaten Bedford will face Highland in this evening's other semifinal.

Tamper-Resistant Prescription Pads/Paper
Due to federal law, the use of tamper-resistant prescription pads/paper is required for all written prescriptions for outpatient drugs, including those for OTC drugs or products, for Medicaid clients.
The following prescriptions are required to be executed on tamper-resistant prescription pads/paper:
Written prescriptions for outpatient drugs, including controlled and uncontrolled substances and OTC drugs or products, whenever Medicaid could pay for any portion of the cost of the prescription (including when Medicaid is the secondary payer).
Written prescriptions for outpatient drugs given to Medicaid recipients from an outpatient hospital or independent medical clinic, outpatient psychiatric clinic, outpatient drug and alcohol clinic or psychiatric partial hospitalization clinic, or other situations in which the Medicaid recipient would take the written prescription to an outpatient pharmacy to be filled.
The following prescriptions or situations are exempt from this requirement:
Prescriptions transmitted by telephone, by fax or electronically as an e-prescription directly to the pharmacy by the prescriber or prescriber's staff who is authorized to act on the prescriber's behalf.
Prescriptions paid for by a managed care entity.
When a prescriber administers or provides the drug directly (such as samples) to the patient.
Written prescriptions prepared in an institutional setting where the prescriber writes the order into the medical record and then the order is given by medical staff directly to the pharmacy, such that the patient never has the opportunity to handle the written order.
Prescriptions written for any medical item, service or equipment that is not considered an outpatient drug.
The law (8.800.11.D) specifies three different characteristics that must be incorporated into the prescription pads/paper and each state has been charged with defining the specific features required by that state in order to comply with the federal requirement.
