Raspberry Pi Availability Improved
Ramped up Raspberry Pi production should now meet demand.
Demand for the new Raspberry Pi devices has been such that, until now, orders have been limited to one per customer. However, according to a recent announcement, 4,000 Raspberry Pi units are being made every day, and you can now buy as many Raspberry Pis as you want.
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. The product website calls it "a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games." It also plays high-definition video. Model A (US$ 25) has been redesigned to have 256MB RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet. Model B (US$ 35) has 256MB RAM, two USB ports and an Ethernet port.
Orders can be placed through RS Components. According to Element14's website, the company is now taking volume orders for Raspberry Pi Model B, with an expected delivery time of five weeks. Those wishing to purchase 10 or more Raspberry Pi units should email for more information.

Allen — A small band of protesters stood next to state Highway 1 outside of Allen on Tuesday morning, carrying handmade signs with slogans like "Can't drink oil!"
The picketers were protesting at a construction site for the Keystone XL Pipeline, a 1,179-mile project linking Canada and Nebraska. The Alberta, Canada-based company TransCanada is building the $5.3 billion pipeline, which is designed to ship crude oil from Canadian tar sands to refineries on the Gulf Coast and in the Midwest.
When it is completed, the pipeline would carry up to 830,000 barrels of oil each day.
The southern section of the project — the 485-mile Keystone Gulf extension — stretches from the pipeline hub in Cushing to Texas.
Supporters of the project say it would create approximately 16,000 jobs — 9,000 construction jobs and 7,000 manufacturing positions — and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.
But not everyone agrees that construction of the pipeline should move forward.
Oklahoma City resident Gregory Dickson, who joined the protest near Allen, said he was worried about the pipeline's possible impact on the environment. He also dismissed claims that the pipeline would help boost the economy.

Editor's Note: This article has been amended to better reflect Atlantic Power's debt position.
At the end of May, utility stocks were rapidly sold off following a multi-month rally as investors took profits and sought more cyclical opportunities in a rising market.
But, after this pullback, could now be the time to buy?
The majority of the utility sector still looks overvalued, as investors have been chasing valuations higher during the past few months and years in the hunt for yield. However, it appears that there are still some undervalued companies in the market.
The search
Basically I am looking for a company that is trading for less than the value of its assets and that is profitable, well-capitalized and has a low level of debt. So, based on that brief, I have four screening criteria:
- Price-to-book ratio - ideally below one, but no more than two times
- Current ratio - equal to or greater than 1.5
- Debt-to-equity ratio - ideally below one but this is flexible; ideally interest costs should be covered at least twice by gross income
- Some earnings - the company must have generated some EPS growth during the past five years
- Dividend - the company must offer a dividend
Company one
Company number one is Companhia Paranaense de Energia (ADR) (COPEL), which is engaged in the distribution and sale of electricity in the state of Paran, Brazil. The company currently appears undervalued with a P/B ratio of 0.8 and a P/E ratio of 8.1.
COPEL has a current ratio of 1.8 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 18%. Over the last five years, the company has generated EPS growth of 2.5%, around 0.5% a year, and this slow rate of growth is one of the reasons behind the company's low valuation.
That said, COPEL is expected to grow EPS 17% this year and generate a return on equity of 10%, relatively high for its sector considering the company's 10-largest peers have an average ROE of between 7% and 9%.
COPEL's dividend yield is 3.4%, although last year's payout of $0.52 per share is covered just under four times by EPS.
Overall, COPEL looks cheap due to its low price-to-book ratio, low price-to-earnings ratio, strong return on equity and strong balance sheet. Additionally, with a dividend cover of nearly four times, there is plenty of scope for COPEL to raise its dividend payout.
Company two
Company number two is NRG Energy . NRG operates within the US, acquiring, developing and managing power stations and related infrastructure. NRG is currently on offer with a P/B ratio of 0.8 and a P/E ratio of around 12.2.
NRG has a current ratio of 1.5 and a debt-to-equity level of 160%, higher than I would like; however, the company is able to cover its interest costs 2.8 times from gross profit.
NRG has achieved EPS growth of 4.3% during the past five years and like COPEL, this slow growth and low yield of 1.9% are the reasons for the company's low valuation.
Unfortunately, NRG has underperformed during the past few years, but it could be in the process of changing its fortunes.
Renewable energy could be the next great investment and NRG is well positioned to take advantage of this. NRG is the nation's largest developer of solar power, with a growing portfolio of large solar plants and installations at sports stadiums, commercial buildings and homes.
In addition, the company is targeting the electric-vehicle market by developing a network of 'home-and-away' charging stations for battery-powered vehicles within Texas.
Overall, NRG is well positioned to take advantage of the renewable energy revolution and is currently trading below the value of its assets.
Company three
Stock number three is highly speculative but the reward could justify the risk. Atlantic Power has not had a good year so far; to date, the stock has fallen around 59% after the company slashed its dividend by 60%.
Although, there could be an opportunity here as even after its 60% cut, the company still offers a dividend yield of around 8%. Furthermore, after the dividend cut, the company is easily able to afford its payout from operating cash flow with room to spare.
Moreover, Atlantic Power is trading at a P/B ratio of 0.8, and during the first quarter of 2013 the company produced its first positive free cash flow since 2009.
So far this year Atlantic Power has not performed well, but the company still offers a good dividend yield that is well covered.
So overall, these three utilities are cheap for a reason but they also offer value with high potential returns and their strong financial position lessens any speculation.

PLATTSBURGH — Former area high school baseball standouts Brian Mehan and Joey Painter were teammates on the Plattsburgh State team.
Tonight at Lefty Wilson Field, the ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Painter as part of "Brian Mehan Be The Match Day."
The Cardinals will host SUNY Canton at 7 p.m. in their final game of the 2013 season in honor of Mehan, who lost his battle with cancer five years ago.
The event was held for the first time last year and Painter helped Plattsburgh coach Kris Doorey with organizing it.
"Joey and Brian were teammates here at Plattsburgh State," Doorey said. "They were friends and Joey was greatly affected by Brian's passing. It's almost like Brian is looking out for Joey."
Painter played his high school baseball at AuSable Valley Central School, while Mehan attended Plattsburgh High School.
Ironically, Painter joined the Be The Match Registry, which donates bone marrow to a needy patient. And Painter became a perfect match for someone.
"Joey became a perfect match for a man in his 40's, who has two kids," Doorey said. "He saved the man's life.
"Last year, Joey helped me organize the event and now this happens. It's a great story."
Prior to the game tonight, members of the Plattsburgh baseball team will be in the Angell College Center Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. hosting a Be The Match Drive.
Members of the Plattsburgh State Student/Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will host a similar drive at Wilson Field from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Joining the Be The Match Registry to easy to do and pain free. Volunteers simply need to swab the inside of a person's cheek for 30 seconds. On average, one of every 540 members of the Be The Match Registry in the United States will go on to donate bone marrow to a patient.

How to Make a Referral
Talking to the Student about a Referral (for routine or urgent referrals)
- Talk to the student promptly and in private when neither of you is rushed. Avoid interruptions.
- State the reasons for your concern gently and honestly while avoiding assumptions.
- Listen carefully and be nonjudgmental. Imagine how you would feel to be in the student's shoes.
- Instill hopefulness and positive attitudes in resolving the problem. Assure the student of availability of resources and of people who want to help. Restate your concern and suggest the Counseling Center; explain that you don't have the expertise to help with all of their problems.
- Maintain clear interpersonal boundaries as appropriate to your professional relationship with the student.
- Reassure the student that it is normal to use counseling and that no problems are too big or too small for a visit to the counseling service.
- Encourage them to come for a one or two session consultation to discuss the situation.
- Let them know that counseling is free of charge and confidential.
- (except in emergencies). Even if the student refuses a referral, they may decide to follow up on it at a later time. Do not let this decision have a negative effect on his/her relationship with you.
- In some cases you may want to inform the Dean of Students of your concerns. This can be done via the Students of Concern Referral Form.
Remember that counseling is a personal choice.

Nebraska lawmakers gave final approval Thursday to a measure that would let doctors provide prescription antibiotics to sexual partners of patients who are diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Lawmakers voted 37-9 to allow doctors to provide medicine to treat some sexually transmitted diseases without giving a medical examination to the patient's partner. The doctor must prescribe the medicine to a named person.
Sen. Sara Howard of Omaha, the bill's sponsor, says this kind of treatment is only for people who are unable or unwilling to visit the doctor. She says she introduced the bill to help reduce high rates of sexually transmitted diseases in her district and in the state.
Partner treatment for sexually transmitted diseases is allowed in 32 states.

They held signs calling McDonough a "racist bigot," and some in Spanish, called for the passage of a bill that would grant in-state tuition rates to some illegal immigrants, and chanted "Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Pat McDonough has got to go."
The event was designed to bring negative attention to McDonough's recent comments about violence near the Inner Harbor, which he attributed to "" and the delegate's opposition to the illegal immigrant tuition bill.
Andrew Castro, a local organizer with the Baltimore Chapter of the ANSWER Coalition, called the delegate's "Speak English" campaign "completely xenophobic."
"We feel Pat McDonough is a racist bigot that manipulates facts to demonize, criminalize black and Latino youth, and he's had a very long history of demonizing undocumented Latinos here in Maryland," Castro said.
The ANSWER Coalition supports the tuition bill and has criticized McDonough for his involvement in an effort to place the issue on the ballot in November.
The group set up outside on Reisterstown Road near the studio hoping that McDonough would see them as he arrived for his 8 p.m. show. One protestor said she thought she saw him pull into the parking lot and run right into the station.
But the sighting didn't happen.
McDonough was finishing up a week of vacation in South Carolina. His radio program was a repeat from earlier in the year.
Reached by phone, McDonough said his opponents were the ones using "hate speech."
"They're nothing but a left-wing group that likes to throw around hate speech to demonize people who are doing their jobs," McDonough said during the phone interview Saturday night.
McDonough shrugged off accustions that he's a racist.
"The idea of me being a racist is ridiculous," McDonough said. "The things I am doing would not even qualify me for membership in the Klan."

Y-12: fogbank produced in Spring 2008
A federal spokesman at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant today said the Oak Ridge facility successfully produced fogbank -- a classified material used in Trident warheads -- as early as the spring of 2008. It's the first time the National Nuclear Security Administration has publicly stated when Y-12 accomplished that production task, which has been blamed for lengthy delays in the nuclear weapon's life-extension program.
The government's production of refurbished W76 warheads has attracted new scrutiny and controversy following a story last week in the Los Angeles Times, which said the Navy had not yet received a single refurbished warhead (despite a February announcement by NNSA), and strongly critical comments by the Project On Government Oversight.
Much of the blame for the long-delayed W76 life-extension program has been placed on technical problems at the Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge -- especially problems in re-producing fogbank after a long absence in production.
A GAO report released in March detailed many of the problems encountered with the W76 program and blasted the NNSA's management of the fogbank production issue.
There have been strong implications by some reports that fogbank continues to be a holdup in the W76 life-extension work, but Y-12 officials have maintained that the Oak Ridge plant -- with help from other labs, etc. -- overcame that issue and continues to produce the material successfully at the Purification Facility.
In a statement released today, NNSA spokesman Steven Wyatt reiterated that Y-12 shipped its first production unit (FPU) for the W76-1 Life Extension Program in August 2008 -- as previously reported.
Asked specifically when Y-12 first successfully produced fogbank, Wyatt said, "The fogbank material for the FPU was produced in Spring 2008."
If that's the case, it raises additional questions about what is causing the holdup in delivery of the W76 warheads to the military.

Using a bounty hunter is good but I prefer to use the Droideka that you can unlock in the challenge modes. Using the droideka equipped with self destruct is more effective than a bounty hunter. The droideka moves faster than any other character in the game so making a loop is real easy. Pull up next to a shiny metal object and press self destruct you will respawn quickly allowing you to roll through and collect the studs and roll on to the next shiny metal object. The bounty hunters are overrated.
First use character that can drive the land speeder, after that drive the land speeder and press the triangle button, and change to 3-CPO and self destruction it using by pressing the circle button, after that 3-CPO drive the land speeder (need self destruction and active that Extras).
Gamorrean Gaurds are weak with dark characters. They don't attack. Plus they won't attack if your there kind. So in some places there are Gamorrean Gaurds, so choose a dark character or a Gamorrean Guard and let them come close and then attack.
The character and vehicle bonuses are all too easy if you know what you're doing. First off, you shouldn't have been spending money on buying any character in the store, since you unlock (for free) one character type (Imperial, Bounty Hunter, Midget Character) when you complete all the stories. Secondly, you need to save up $900,000 and buy the Power Block Invulnerability. You can unlock that crucial block by locating it in Free Mode in Episode 4 Chapter 5. Once you leave the trash compactor, open the first "locked" door you find (it's a second trash compactor room). Investigate that room for your much needed cheat block. Now you have the right tools (i.e., invulnerability), you can stick to using a bounty hunter and simply lob Thermal Detonators to blow up masses of enemies as well as the shiny metal objects that leave the $10,000 purple stud in the stages . These objects regenerate, so you basically "run a loop" blowing up the objects you destroyed and coming back to them later.
First you have to purchase and unlock ALL the Bounty Hunters (Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, Greedo, IG-88, and 4-LOM) then after that you have unlocked the Bounty Hunter Mini-game.
To unlock Episodes 5 and 6, finish Episode IV, Chapter 1.

What are your current work responsibilities?
Oversee and regulate all aspects of the $12 billion insurance industry in the State of Utah. Regulation includes, but is not limited to, financial solvency, licensing, criminal and administrative prosecution, legislation and rules as well as government agency management. Pursuant to the McCarran-Ferguson Act, regulation of the insurance industry is the exclusive jurisdiction of the states.
What are the most rewarding aspects of your job?
The opportunity to make a difference and serve the public. Holding insurers accountable to their contracts, providing reliable and unbiased information and testimony to the Legislature to promote enactment of good law that protects consumers and promotes a competitive insurance marketplace gives me great satisfaction. I also enjoy the quality-of-life aspect of generous benefits and paid time off.
Were there certain experiences at MSU Law that helped you prepare for or obtain your current position?
Dr. Johnson's Contracts classes, Dean Lawrence's Constitutional Law classes, Professor Kault's Administrative Law class and Judge McKeague's Federal Law class provided an exceptional foundation for success in my legal career. My participation with the Jessup Moot Court Team, Journal of International Law (now International Law Review) and Canadian Summer Law Placement are also highlights.
What would you consider to be the strengths of the Law College?
MSU Law provides virtually limitless opportunities to become involved, participate, and learn about any aspect of law. I am convinced that MSU Law provided opportunities I could not get at other law schools.
Is there any additional insight you would like to share?
Immerse yourself to the greatest extent possible in all that MSU Law offers, both academically and socially. Watch your debt and keep an open mind because there are infinite opportunities for attorneys outside of law firm, billable hour centric, legal careers. Make life-long friendships.

NORMAN — On the first day Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso thought it was better to go with Michelle Gascoigne over Keilani Ricketts against Arkansas' bats, the Sooners beat the Razorbacks by five runs.
A day later Gasso had the same thought. OU prevailed by 13 runs.
How does one beat the Sooners? Well, the first order of business has to be getting Ricketts out of the circle or getting to her in it, but lot of good it did the Razorbacks.
That's the takeaway from Marita Hynes Field, site of the Norman Regional, where OU blasted Arkansas 14-1 Sunday.
Ricketts is the nation's best pitcher but she wasn't very good this past weekend after blanking Marist Friday.
Sunday, she gave up a single and double to the first two hitters she faced before walking the bases loaded only to escape unscathed.
She hit a batter in the second inning and walked two more in the third before dialing up a two-ball, no-strike count on Andrea Sullivan, the moment she departed and Gascoigne relieved.
It didn't matter.
Though Ricketts was more dominant against the Big 12, Gascoigne's 0.91 earned run average over the length of the regular season was better than Ricketts' 1.10.
If Gascoigne has long been OU's other pitcher, she has come of age in 2013, nailing down career-high wins (17), innings pitched (123 1/3) and the nation's second-best ERA.
"It's really exciting to know that you've got somebody like Michelle coming into a game who's fearless and you can put her into any situation," Gasso said.
But that's only a part of why OU is so hard to beat. There's more.
To be sure, Arkansas hurt itself Sunday. The Sooners' five-run third inning was made possible by Amanda Geile dropping what should have been the third out in right field. Two batters later, Lauren Chamberlain hit a tape-measure three-run home run over left-center field.

Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
Man rescued from Niagara River
A middle-aged man was treated for back and shoulder injuries after he fell about 9 feet in the Niagara gorge and ended up in the lower Niagara River near the Rainbow Bridge.
Niagara Parks Police Insp. Paul Forcier said police were called at around 3 p.m. Sunday after someone reported seeing a man in the river near the falls.
A police officer was on board a 16-foot boat provided by the Maid of the Mist to respond to the call.
When the officer arrived, Forcier said the man was waist-deep in the water.
"They were able to get him out there and walked back to the Maid of the Mist dock. The boat was used as a precaution," he said.
Paramedics and firefighters responded to the Maid of the Mist dock where he was examined.
Forcier said the man climbed down the gorge at a spot not used by the public. At one point, Forcier said the man fell about 10 feet before making his way to the river's edge.
"We're not sure why he went into the water, but it seems the man has some mental health issues which can be attributed to some of his actions," he said.
Paramedics took the man to Greater Niagara General Hospital where he was treated.
• THEFT: Niagara County Sheriff's deputies were called to a River Road address on Saturday where a resident reported that sometime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. someone took a motorcycle he had placed for sale at the end of his driveway.

• DWI: Michael D. Zwetsch, 22, 254 72nd St., Niagara Falls, was charged with DWI and speeding about 2:30 a.m. Friday, according to Niagara County Sheriff's deputies. The '02 Mazda Zwetsch was driving was clocked driving 61 mph in a 45 mph zone on River Road. After being pulled over, deputies said he appeared intoxicated and failed field sobriety tests. At one point he told the deputy, "It's my birthday and I drank more than I wanted to." A chemical test determined his blood alcohol content to be 0.12 percent.

I've just brought a 2009 a3 black edition, what is the best way to go about getting a spare key cut/programmed etc?
Ideally I want to avoid the dealers due to their ridiculous prices!!
I messed around with my key a few weeks ago having the car for only 4 days and it immobalised my car got it towed to audi, my key became deffective or something like that and i didnt have a spare. It cost me £249 for a new key and for it to be reprogrammed. Just an idea of how much audi charge lol. This was 3 days ago.
'He who dares wins'
You can get a suitable key off ebay and program the transponder to lock/unlock but not start.
You may be able to find a specialist independent who has the equipment to unlock the 'secret code' and therefore produce another key for you but you are looking at £130 - £150 minimum.
The only people I'd trust with key information is Audi themselves ..
Looks like I'll be going to Audi!
Depends where your located as I know of someone local to me
I'm based in Bedworth, just outside Coventry...
Where is your guy located?
google theres a few good locksmiths out there
some can even come to your car if you lost the key
and cut reprogram there and then at less cost than audi
my pay uses them he sells cars and always sells with 2 keys
he says they do there job well
he had his key box nicked last year 34 sets of keys went.
1 day and they were all sorted.
Thank you for this.
Saved me a few quid!
I recently bought a 8L with only 1 key, I got hold of a 2nd hand key for free, bought a blank blade off ebay which offered cutting by picture for 5 quid, bought a replacement chip off ebay for 6 quid and will get it programmed eventually for 30 tops but for the time being at least it will unlock my car should my good key get stuck inside (again).
Not sure for newer Audi's but I can buy a complete brand new key for 40 off ebay then have it coded, still a bucket load cheaper than Audi.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info.
I contacted a local locksmith who wants £200 and said even he would have to go through Audi!
I'll have a look on ebay for a blank and cut for now..

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The auricle in humans is almost rudimentary and generally immobile and lies close to the side of the head. It is composed of a thin plate of yellow fibrocartilage covered by a tight-fitting skin. The external ear cartilage is molded into shape and has well-defined hollows, furrows, and ridges that form an irregular shallow funnel. The deepest depression in the auricle, called the concha, leads to the external auditory canal or meatus. The one portion of the auricle that has no cartilage is the lobule-the fleshy lower part of the auricle. The auricle has several small basic muscles that connect it to the skull and scalp. Generally nonfunctional in human beings, they are capable of limited movement in some people

(1) "If Democrats don't start thinking about how they're going to respond to this, they're idiots."(2) "Democrats ought to figure out now what they think about Iran. [...] The chances of this coming up as an issue this year are strong enough that it would be foolish not to be prepared to deal with it."
Redouble efforts to stop nuclear weapons development in Iran and North Korea.
What Should Be Done Now: An Alternative Diplomatic and Military StrategyTo achieve any deal the U.S. government must settle on a course of action. A five-year global moratorium on all new enrichment and reprocessing, as called for by Mohammed ElBaradei, is the key. Will require international cooperation in assembling both a bundle of carrots and an arsenal of sticks.U.S., the EU3, Russia, and the IAEA need to present Iran with a bargain, packaged as an offer Iran cannot refuse.It would offer cover for Iran to comply with an international obligation without explicitly yielding to American or EU3 demands. The doable deal: EU3 delivery of important economic benefits under the terms of an agreement. Iran is eagerly seeking trade and investment. No U.S. objection to the supply of spare parts for U.S.-origin aircraft and negotiations with Iran about its entrance into the WTO. Credible assurances by the U.S. not to attack Iran to change its regime by force – if Iran ceases all work on its reprocessing and enrichment facilities that could support a nuclear weapons program. Slow-rolling of fuel delivery by Russia until Iran agrees to comply with the five-year moratorium. A combined Russian-EU guarantee to give Iran the opportunity to buy additional civilian nuclear reactors. A promise by Russia to provide an internationally-guaranteed supply of fuel for these reactors and removal of spent fuel at bargain prices. Carrots are not enough: Iran should be concerned that it has no realistic possibility of making its enrichment and reprocessing facilities operational.Accordingly, Iran should understand the existential threat of a military response under some conditions.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
We implore those rushing to speculate and spread gossip about recent grand jury indictments to stop and take a deep breath.
The multicounty grand jury hearing testimony in Oklahoma City this week has handed down two indictments. They won't be opened until 2 p.m. Monday. A lot of hurtful and damaging statements can be passed around coffee shops and posted anonymously on Internet forums between now and then.
The truth is you, your friends and neighbors don't know who has been indicted. And you know what people say about assuming …
No matter whose names are announced, the fact remains the procedure is following the judicial process we as Oklahomans and Americans have adopted and accepted in this country. The mayor has told a state newspaper he knows his name is on one of the indictments. There are two indictments. An indictment is a charge, not a conviction.
The characterization of this entire grand jury process as a witchhunt is a slap to the men and women who voluntarily served on that grand jury. And the oft loudly vocalized notion that all Mayor Nathan Bates' public woes are somehow the behind-the-scenes work of some evil shadow government hell-bent to destroy his political career for some fuzzy reason is simply ludicrous.
Bates' acquisition of an economic development grant from a program the city helps fund was the focus of the grand jury session. Oklahoma State University said Bates received the money because he is a student with an idea and that the money was not from the city's funds. Bates, who appeared with a public defender and testified before the grand jury this week, responded Thursday to the issuance of the sealed indictments this way:
"I'm sorry Stillwater, this term in office has been surrounded by malicious scandal from vested interests who care little for our actual city. We have wasted more time and money trying to 'create' issues that I'm guilty of rather than fixing real problems. I hope that all of Stillwater is able to recognize the ingrained corruption and will rebel against this outright attack on our political system."
Outright attack on our political system? That's a pretty broad brush with which to paint the OSBI agents who investigated this ordeal, the district attorney whose commitment to our judicial system is to uphold the law, the grand jurors who left their homes to sit in a courtroom day after day and hear from witnesses they've never seen before.
We will know Monday exactly who has been indicted - and who has not. And until a time someone is convicted they will remain innocent, as seen through the eyes of our legal system. Until a time someone is acquitted they will be a defendant once those indictments are unsealed.
It's time our community stopped pointing fingers and making accusations. It's time we show our legal system the respect it deserves. And it's time Mr. Mayor, that you stop blaming everyone but yourself for your troubles that have brought a glaring spotlight to a tremendous city you were elected – twice – to represent.

Michigan's 45,000 acres of potato plants are being closely monitored. Farmers and scientists are watching for the fungus known as "Potato Late Blight". It destroys the potato plant, spreading by seeds and even air.
MSU scientist Willie Kirk says Michigan farmers spend $4 million a year to fight the disease. But if left unchecked, Kirk says the fungus could destroy the entire U.S. potato crop.
Potato Late Blight was responsible for the Irish potato famine of 1845.

Unified Basketball falls under the Project Unify program, which looks to keep students with intellectual disabilities active through sports and is endorsed by the Rhode Island Interscholastic League and the Rhode Island Department of Education.
WEST WARWICK ŌĆō West Warwick and Coventry police once again proved their commitment to keeping the area drug-free last week, concluding a four-month investigation with the arrests of four individuals and the execution of a pair of search warrants; delivery, possession with intent, and manufacture of marijuana are the charges brought on the individuals at the center of the arrest.
COVENTRY ŌĆö According to CoventryŌĆÖs NECAP numbers, most of the districtŌĆÖs schools are above the state average, with a few exceptions.

Angela Stanley raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society; owns Coventry boutique
COVENTRYŌĆöEveryday, Angela Stanley, of Coventry, interacts with children in her boutique. To date, it hasnŌĆÖt touched her personally, but through her store and her friends she has seen young lives affected by blood cancers like leukemia.
COVENTRY ŌĆö Carpentry students at Coventry High School took what they learned in the classroom and constructed a giant gazebo, which ultimately benefited the Tomorrow Fund.
Carpentry teacher, Scott Leavitt explained that this was the sixth year his junior and senior students had built a structure to raise money for the organization.
He said it all began one day when a woman approached him in the carpentry shop at school.

COVENTRY ŌĆö Last year, school was postponed five days due to Tropical Storm Irene, but this year however, the sun was shining as students awaited their buses early yesterday morning.
As students filed into school, some veterans of the process, and others new to the scene, administrators greeted them with smiles.
Aside from some minor glitches with the busing, school went smoothly for the Coventry school district.
Assistant Principal at Coventry High School, Brooke Macomber explained that ŌĆ£this was the smoothest opening IŌĆÖve seen at this school in years.ŌĆØ
COVENTRY ŌĆö Two students from USA Karate were able to use what they learned during their training to remain calm and collected as each of them saved a life just days apart.
Sean Lambert, 10, is in his second year of training at the karate school in Coventry and currently holds the rank of purple belt.
He never thought what he learned during those two years would help save his fatherŌĆÖs life.
On the way home from a family vacation in Pennsylvania, Sean said the gas tank on the vehicle began falling out.

Boston Globe's Bruins beat writer Fluto Shinzawa must be inspired by HBO's 24/7, because he is bringing the fans the real dirty details of what goes on in the Bruins dressing room: "After practice, the Bruins were howling when an unnamed player's intestinal issues made the bathroom, three dressing rooms, and hallway uncomfortable places. We'll spare the poor fellow's identity, but his teammates were not pleased. Assistant equipment manager Matt Falconer had to spray the area with disinfectant to spare its inhabitants. "Uncle," gasped an overwhelmed Michael Ryder, walking away from the crime scene."
Marc Savard has been cleared to skate and amp up workouts.
Do the Bruins have their opening night roster set or will they make some more moves to free up space to sign Phil Kessel?
No takers for Patrick Eaves.
Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and son Charlie Jacobs spoke to the media this morning and discussed several issues involving the team.
