Driver cited after hitting building in Plainfield
PLAINFIELD A Williamstown man who crashed his vehicle into a building in Plainfield village Saturday during the towns 100th anniversary celebration of its fire department has been cited by Vermont State Police.
State police say John Buskey, 36, was cited Tuesday on a charge of negligent operation and is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court in late October.
Witnesses said Buskey was driving very fast on Mill Street when he tried to turn left onto Main Street and hit the corner of an apartment building. His vehicle ended up hanging precariously off a bridge. Buskey was pulled out of the vehicle when it started tipping forward toward the Winooski River.
State police said Buskey did not suffer any known injuries in the crash and that no one was home in the apartment he hit.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.

I want to hear from YOU.
A couple weeks ago, I made a plea for surfers get in touch with me. I got some great feedback that will lead to some great upcoming sports sections.
Now, I want to hear from anyone that has any type of sports related story they think I should hear. I know there's got to be a ton of interesting athletes in St. Johns County, and I want to learn about them. I want you to let me know what I'm missing.
Send me an email, (firstname.lastname@example.com) or hit me up on Twitter (@CodyErbacher).
I know this weekend's game against the Broncos is important for the Jaguars. Yet, in my opinion, it's a free pass in a lot of ways. The ticket sales look great. But then again, how many of those people will be showing up to see Tim Tebow? We will see. I think what happens next is more telling.
Can the Jaguars continue interest without No. 15 in attendance? That will be the real question. If not, it will only serve to drive home the one thought that Jaguars' brass has tried to ignore. This guy could have been more than a football player. He could have been the savior.
Hey, sports are important to a lot of us here in this country, and that's great. But some guys involved are taking themselves too seriously. Exhibit A: George "Let Me Update My Resume" O'Leary. According to The Orlando Sentinel, the Central Florida coach was upset that "only" 34,373 fans showed up to watch the Knights play South Dakota. Maybe George thinks he actually kept the Notre Dame job. In truth, he should be thankful that so many people went out there to sweat through a truly awful matchup.
I came across a story from The Associated Press titled something along the lines of "What we learned from the NFL preseason." It taught me one very important thing -- that we don't need it. Not in any way, shape or form. I would rather attend every stop on the Justin Bieber concert tour than watch a full preseason game.
Players with guaranteed roster spots don't take it seriously, so why should fans be fleeced into paying good money and precious time for a product with little more flavor than a Zima.
Take a deep breath, Florida fans. There are plenty of reasons to worry about the season after Saturday's horrific win over Miami (Ohio). But that doesn't mean it's time to panic, either. If anything, perhaps it will wake the Gators up. It was pretty clear they didn't take that game seriously. How else can you explain not being able to snap the ball after months of practice? Time to move on. I will say this, however. The Gators' offense looks pretty inept. Other than a couple of speedy running backs, I can't find a weapon that scares me. I guess there's time for that as well.
There are a lot of guys in baseball trying their best to give the sport a black eye, but let's brush those aside for a minute. Yes, let's take a moment to salute the great Jim Thome, who hits home runs the old fashioned way: swinging hard and avoiding unauthorized trips to the pharmacy. He's been one of baseball's feel-good stories this year, belting 20 home runs for the Twins when it looked as if his career might be about finished. Instead, his two-dinger effort on Saturday moved him to ninth on the all-time list at 584. Know who he passed? Mark McGwire.
Usually, baseball fights are kind of dumb, with a little overdose of testosterone. However, Wednesday's brawl between the Marlins and the Nationals was to be expected. I don't know if there is currently a more clueless guy in baseball than Washington's Nyjer Morgan. He's already guilty of delivering two cheap shots at catchers this season, including one that seriously injured the Marlins' Brett Hayes on Tuesday. He also threw a baseball into the stands in Philadelphia last month because he was being heckled. What a wimp. Morgan is lucky the Marlins only threw behind him in the sixth inning. Next time it'll probably be at his head. Heck, Morgan is lucky his own team doesn't throw at him in batting practice. Baseball needs to shut down this clown for the rest of the season before he gets somebody (maybe himself) killed. Stuart Korfhage
If you like college football, and you live in Florida, this should be a pretty good year. All of the main teams (Florida, Miami, Florida State) enter this season with interesting storylines. For Florida, we all know the deal by now. Will John Brantley be able to replace Tim Tebow? At Florida State, Jimbo Fisher is finally getting his chance to coach after the team exiled legend Bobby Bowden. And Miami? The Hurricanes are trying to prove they belong among the elite. So what will happen?
Here's a memo to Tampa Bay Rays fans: When only 11,968 of you show up to watch arguably the best team is baseball, you lose all rights to complain when things don't go your way. When Carl Crawford leaves this offseason, don't start getting mad. Don't say things like "Management sells all our good players" or "Why can't we spend like the Yankees?" It's embarrassing. There's nothing more management can, or should, do to make you happy. That number in this pennant race is nothing short of pathetic. It makes the few real fans look bad. Show some support.
Of all the things for Jaguars fans to worry about for the upcoming season, I think Maurice Jones-Drew should be way down on the list. I think it's smart for coach Jack Del Rio to keep him out of preseason games if he has even the hint of injury. The guy knows the offense, and he's so explosive that you want him at his best when the real games begin. If the injury is as minor as we've been led to believe, I think Jones-Drew will be plenty sharp for the opener. And if he is seriously hurt, there's no sense worrying -- because the season will be completely lost. Stuart Korfhage
So we're not supposed to worry about the Jaguars? I'm confused. What should we think? I guess we could bank on last season, when the team was mediocre at best. Or perhaps we could look at what we've seen so far from this new group, which is nothing if not puzzling. I agree that it's just the preseason and we should give it some time, but having confidence in this team should not be a given. Fans, and critics alike, need to see something positive before the good feelings start to roll. Otherwise we're left with what we know, which frankly isn't a good thing.

Love in the Time of Cholera
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
García Márquez based Love in the Time of Cholera on his parents' love story. Read all about it in this short article, called "Serenade: How My Father Won My Mother," published in The New Yorker in 2001.
Cartagena, a city in northern Colombia on the Caribbean coast, serves as the inspiration for the setting of Love in the Time of Cholera. According to this article in the New York Times, a group of historians has been working to identify the real-life places behind the novel's fictional locales.
Gabriel García Márquez used to be BFFs with another famous Latin American author, Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa. Their friendship ended in 1976, when the two got in a fight over a woman. (Vargas Llosa's wife, to be more specific!) Read all the sordid details, and check out Gabo's black eye, in this New York Times article.

This was one of the most memorable weekends in a long time.
The Dallas Mavericks were able to knock off the Miami Heat in South Beach in order to take home the crown and stake their claim as NBA champions, and the entire world has their eyes firmly fixated on LeBron James.
After James said that he was "taking his talents" to South Beach and joining forces with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat, promising several championship seasons in a row, the forward had some interesting words in his post-game press conference following what has to be considered the most devastating loss in his professional career.
From Robert Littal of Black Sports Online:
"Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point."
It's really hard to blame James for saying the things that he did after dealing with a year of criticism, scrutiny and being in the public eye constantly, but it's clear that he could've done this in a much more productive fashion.
Despite all of the attention that the 2011 NBA Finals received, there were also a lot of people paying careful attention to the season six premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which took no time to introduce Kris Humphries as Kim Kardashian's new arm candy.
Now that the offseason is officially here for the NBA, there will be plenty of time to focus on Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashian family and how their personal lives play out.

We are using a windows CE 6.0 at work for our units and before we ship them we change the time zone, but somehow the time zone setting is getting changed to the default one after a while.
My co-worker suggested we change the default setting for the time zone in the registry. And of course they assigned the project to me (the guy who knows nothing about operating systems).
Does anyone have any idea how to do that?

I've got the latest WP installed and had the wp-useronline plugin working fine until the other day when I installed the copperminesc plugin.
Now, the useronline sometimes shows me "0 users online" (even if I'm visiting the page) and when I click on it, to take me to the actual users online page, it gives me the following message:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mnt/web_k/d38/s32/a0004tng/www/talk/wp-useronline.php on line 37
Line 37 is around this code:
// Check Members
if(isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash])) {
$memberonline = trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash]);
[THIS IS LINE 37 ON MY COMPUTER]$where = "WHERE username='$memberonline'";[ENDS HERE]
// Check Guests
} else {
$memberonline = 'Guest';
$where = "WHERE ip='".get_IP()."'";
But if I refresh the useronline page itself, after I get that message, then the first error code seems to disappear.
Does anyone know what's going on, or how I can fix this?

Symbol, or symbolon, is the word that was used in ancient Greece to indicate the two halves of a tablet or token that was usually divided by two different persons to affirm a commitment of hospitality. But through the evolution of the language and through time the word itself acquired many different meanings and connotations.
Symbols are essential elements to the process of communication and can be found in countless varieties through human existence and human knowledge. Many symbols are recognized internationally, but sometimes they are only understood inside of a context, culture or group mindset. For instance, the Cross became, for the Christians, the symbol of the sacrifice, death and redemption of mankind through the death of the Master Jesus. In this way, the symbol can be the element of connection between our immediate reality and a transcendental one (spiritual, cultural or religious context). The symbol is designed to be a representation of something without being a reproduction. A symbol is something that represents an idea, a process, or a physical entity. The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning.
The Star of David, also known as the shield or armor of King David, is star shaped by two equally superimposed triangles with their apices pointed upwards and downwards; forming a six pointed star. The symbol is also known as the Seal of Solomon.
In Hinduism, each angle represents one of the gods of the trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva - respectively the "creator", "the preservator" and "the destroyer".
The Star of David is the name given through esoteric tradition to an ancient Hindu symbol of Murugan. Murugan is also the name of the son of Lord Shiva who, according to multiple traditional stories, had six faces. In some traditions, Murugan is also called Lord Kartikeya, which means, the Son of the Six Pleiades. While it seems somewhat unreal the correlation between the two different traditional outlines, the symbol itself represents the absolute cosmic reality of the Divine.
This symbol therefore has its origins in the Shiva traditions of South India. The main purpose of this symbol is to connect the "above" and "below" through the ascension of a powerful energy of Kundalini-Shakti.

Other Brand Names containing Heparin
Data is temporarily not available
Drug Interactions:
a. Drugs Enhancing Heparin Effect:
Oral anticoagulants: Heparin sodium may prolong the one-stage prothrombin time. Therefore, when heparin sodium is given with dicumarol or warfarin sodium, a period of at least 5 hours after the last intravenous dose or 24 hours after the last subcutaneous dose should elapse before blood is drawn if a valid prothrombin time is to be obtained.
Platelet inhibitors: Drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid, dextran, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, indomethacin, dipyridamole, hydroxychloroquine and others that interfere with platelet-aggregation reactions (the main hemostatic defense of heparinized patients) may induce bleeding and should be used with caution in patients receiving heparin sodium.
The anticoagulant effect of heparin is enhanced by concurrent treatment with antithrombin III (human) in patients with hereditary antithrombin III deficiency. Thus in order to avoid bleeding, reduced dosage of heparin is recommended during treatment with antithrombin III (human).
b. Drugs Decreasing Heparin Effect:
Digitalis, tetracyclines, nicotine, or antihistamines may partially counteract the anticoagulant action of heparin sodium. Heparin Sodium Injection should not be mixed with doxorubicin, droperidol, ciprofloxacin, or mitoxantrone, since it has been reported that these drugs are incompatible with heparin and a precipitate may form.
Drug/ Laboratory Tests Interactions
Hyperaminotransferasemia: Significant elevations of aminotransferase (SGOT [S-AST] and SGPT [S-ALT]) levels have occurred in a high percentage of patients (and healthy subjects) who have received heparin sodium. Since aminotransferase determinations are important in the differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction, liver disease and pulmonary emboli, rises that might be caused by drugs (heparin sodium) should be interpreted with caution.
Heparin sodium should not be used in patients:

A songbird is silenced ... by murder.
With her soulful voice and delicate beauty, Starr Hendrix seemed destined to live up to her name and hit it big as a jazz singer. But her career ended before it began, and Mali's father offered Starr a second chance by giving her top billing as singer for his popular jazz band's latest show. Mali isn't surprised when Starr doesn't show — but everyone is shocked when the troubled woman is found savagely murdered....
The prime suspect is a low-life pimp with a grudge against Starr. But then the pimp stops a bullet — and everyone suspects Starr's devastated father of exacting his own revenge. Mali vows to use her experience as a former cop to find the real killer. Her search will take her in and out of the "three B's" of Harlem: the beauty shops, barbershops, and the bars. But it will also lead Mali directly into the path of a killer — one who, if not stopped, will almost surely strike again....
From the Paperback edition.

Read an Excerpt
Dad could have taken the limo home as he sometimes does after a gig but since I was with him, he wanted to walk. And since he was so angry, he needed to talk.
The air at 4 a.m. held a close, almost sweet smell, not like the salty mist that had bathed us yesterday when we'd leaned over the port-side railing of the QE2. I usually noticed this sweet fragrance after a heavy downpour but it had not rained, at least not since we'd returned to New York.
Late yesterday afternoon we'd stepped from the gangway of a jazz cruise and Dad, after jamming on board and at the Newport Jazz Festival for the last seven days, had grabbed a few hours sleep, then showered, dressed, and left for his regular gig at the Club Harlem.
Music is my father's life but I don't want it to be the death of him. He's in his sixties and I see small nicks of fatigue cutting into the smoothness of his dark handsome face. Lines that weren't there yesterday seemed to have incubated overnight around the edge of his smile. I once suggested (and only once) that he try to slow down, and he huffed and puffed and nearly blew me through the wall.
"Slow down? Hell no. Lionel Hampton's old as water and still moving. Cecil Payne's still blowing baritone and Max Roach's still on the skins. Give me a break, Mali!"
Which I did. And said nothing when he left for the gig, but an hour later, I showed up at the club just to keep an eye on him. At the first hint of exhaustion, I had intended to drag him off stage, even if he killed me when we got home, but he and his guys sailed through both sets, smiled through the applause, and afterward moved easily through the crowd.
"Good show, Anderson," someone called. "You keepin' it real."
"Thanks, man."
"Glad you guys are back, Jeffrey. Now we can hear what jazz is all about."
Dad smiled at this, genuinely pleased. I followed in his wake as he pushed his bass toward the door. Outside the club, the lights lining the canopy dimmed and then went out, bathing the corner of Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street in a mottled gray.
The crowd, reluctant to give up the night, hung tight, looking for other places to greet the dawn. There was more handshaking. And some questions.
"Your man Hendrix was a no-show. So was his daughter. What's up with that? Too much QE2?"
"Tired, I guess," my father replied. "Ozzie went to cop some zee's and probably overslept. You know how that is."
His voice was steady but I watched the knot of annoyance taking shape in his lower jaw and I stepped up quickly.
"It was a great trip." I smiled. "Now Dad's gonna lay low for a few days."
"I hear what you sayin'. Gotta git your moves back. Check you on the weekend and hopefully your piano man, too."
Dad smiled wider, a genial, professional, crowd-pleasing beam, but inside, I knew he was steaming.
Ozzie Hendrix, whom Dad had known for nearly forty years, through the blues, bop, and jazz scenes, was the pianist. He and Dad had crisscrossed at cabarets in the Village, studio sessions, Fifty-second Street clubs, one-night stands, and every after-hours joint that had room for a combo. A few years ago, they hooked up seriously when Dad put the ensemble together for the club. Ozzie had amazing technical skill and his fingers on the keys transported a listener to the very soul and center of his music. Dad with his bass set the rhythm and kept the pace, but it was Ozzie with his artistry, his virtuoso technique, who usually brought the crowd to its feet.
We turned off Malcolm X Boulevard and into the quiet of 133rd Street, heading toward Powell Boulevard. We walked slow. Dad talked fast. I tried not to interrupt, preferring to concentrate instead on the delicate 4 a.m. stillness and the wheel of his bass as it rolled over the sidewalk's pebbly surface. At the corner, the silence was fractured by a riff leaping from a passing car radio, muted somewhat because the driver had no one to impress. A transient interruption that instantly faded. Then from behind a fence somewhere came the long, low howl of a dog.
"...When puppy cry, somebody die," Mom used to say, falling into the Charleston-Bajan cadence of her grandmother. My mom died years ago and so had my sister, Benin. After the initial shock and loneliness of losing someone you really love, you learn to listen in the silence and somehow they come back. They come back. Right now I missed Mom more than ever. She could've calmed Dad with a smile.
When I tuned in again, his anger had risen above everything.
"Never again, dammit! That's the last time I do anybody a favor. Don't care how tight we are. Give 'em a break and get screwed every damn time. And his daughter was supposed to be there tonight. The featured singer. Damn picture plastered on every poster in every store window in Harlem. And not only didn't she show but neither did he. And not a word. Least they coulda done was get on the drum. This way, the rest of us woulda known what we had to do!"
I breathed deeply and offered no comment as we turned into 139th Street, between Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard and Frederick Douglass Boulevard. Strivers Row, as folks called it. A block of three- and four-story neo-Italianate and Colonial revival rowhouses adorned with wrought-iron balconies and French windows that were now closed against the humid night air and, hopefully, the sound of Dad's anger.
We walked past 221, home of Vertner Tandy, the African-American architect who designed St. Phillips Episcopal Church and Madame C. J. Walker's mansion in Irvington-On-Hudson. I counted the doors until we passed number 228, where Fletcher Henderson, the bandleader, once lived. While living here he was able to walk to his gigs at the jazz clubs just as Dad does now when he doesn't feel like calling for the limo.
Exhaustion hit me like a brick. Suddenly, seven days of tapping my foot to the beat of Aretha, Lou Rawls, Branford Marsalis, and Ruth Brown, and lounging in deck chairs until my skin was fried two shades past midnight, and each night wrapped in Tad's arms and rolling to his private and indescribable rhythm, and then rising to jog around the deck with him in a 5 a.m. fog, all had finally caught up with me. My eyelids felt like a sandpit. I was ready to tell Dad but he was still swimming in a current of anger.
"The last thing Ozzie said when we left the ship was 'See you tonight. Starr'll be there. I really appreciate what you doin' for her.' And neither one of 'em bothered to show. What the hell is that about? At this stage of the game, I damn sure don't need no half-steppers!"
I knew how Dad felt. If he was able to drag himself out of the house, then everyone else should've done it also. Or at least call. Luckily, a jazz pianist from Brooklyn was in the audience and was more than happy to sit in. And he was damn good. I listened and wondered how a musician -- who had never played or practiced with a particular group -- could simply walk on, take a seat, and blend so seamlessly with the rhythm, strike the notes as cleanly as if he'd gigged with the band for years.
I heard the ringing above Ruffin's bark as I put the key in the door.
"Maybe it's Alvin," I said. "You know we promised to call as soon as we got back."
"Or could be Ozzie," Dad said as he propped his bass against the sofa and rushed to the phone before the machine kicked in. "If it is, he better have a damn good--"
A second later, I watched the annoyance drain away and his face change to blank surprise. His hand shook violently and he tried twice before finally hitting the speakerphone button.
Ozzie's voice cracked through the silence like an electric charge. "Bad news, man. Bad, bad. Starr's dead. My baby's been murdered."
It didn't take long to get over to Starr's place, a four-story apartment building on 122nd Street overlooking the grassy knoll of Marcus Garvey Park. Her apartment was on the second floor and at first, we were not allowed in the building.
The area had been secured and homicide detectives, crime scene technicians, and a photographer were present, as well as several uniforms trying to control the crowd milling around and adding to the confusion.
One homicide detective with the improbable name of Holmes moved through the lobby toward the door and recognized me from my time on the force. My tenure had been brief but memorable, like one of those meteors that appear out of nowhere, cause tremendous upheaval, and then exit into another orbit. Except that I hadn't exited altogether, as the mayor, the commissioner, and the precinct's captain had wished. I was still here, alive and well and still mad as hell.
"Your boy's upstairs," Holmes whispered, nodding his head toward the steps. He saw my hard stare and quickly understood that I was not acquainted with any forty-two-year-old "boys."
He also knew my history; knew I'd gotten fired for punching out a racist cop and that I'd sued the NYPD for wrongful dismissal. In the process, some rocks had been overturned at the precinct and more than one secret had been exposed to the light of day. Drug dealing, murder, and bribery headed the list. I had blown a hole in the setup and nearly brought down the entire precinct. When the smoke cleared, the cop I had punched was dead but my lawsuit continued. Now, to prevent me from testifying and bringing up all that unpleasant stuff, I was being offered an out-of-court settlement. Reinstatement at the rank of detective sergeant and immediate retirement on ninety percent disability. How could I refuse?
I was in the final stage of negotiations and I assumed Holmes did not want me running back to my attorney for a bonus. I stared at him and he promptly corrected himself. "I mean your ... your guy, your friend is upstairs."
I did not reply and so to make further amends, he cupped his hand to his mouth, leaned on the banister and called, "Yo, Honeywell! Got a minute? Somebody's down here!" Then he clamped his jaw as if he were nursing a toothache and strode out toward the crime scene van.
Dad and I exchanged a look. Tad Honeywell. Tad was here. I couldn't believe it. We had been exhausted when we left the ship and he was going home to crawl under the covers. Then again, that's also what I'd planned to do, but Dad's gig had somehow gotten in the way.
I heard Tad's voice at the top of the stairs but on the way down, the medical examiner intercepted him and he turned and retraced his steps.
Up on the landing, a neighbor's door eased open and Ozzie, moving like a shadow, walked downstairs toward us. He and Dad were about the same age but whereas Dad was tall and thin, Ozzie had the hard, ageless physique of George Foreman. His sharp features now seemed melted in grief and his clean-shaven head glistened with sweat under the fluorescent hall light. He moved slowly, measuring each step like a man newly blind, fearful of stumbling into something unknown.
"I don't want to go too far," he whispered as Dad took his arm and we walked outside. Up close, I saw that his skin had lost the sun-deck, cruise-bronzed coloring and an ashen tinge had broken through.
"I don't want to go too far," he whispered again. "Don't want to leave her like that. She..."
We guided him across the street to a bench near the park. He held his head and we listened to his halting breath in the silence. Finally, he looked up and stared across the street. He gazed at the small crowd, the crime scene van, and the squad cars with their rotating lights disturbing the gray morning.
"You know, Jeffrey, I shoulda brought her on the trip. Just had her pack a bag and come on with us. This woulda never happened if she hadda been with me..."
"How did it happen?" I whispered. "Was it a break-in? Was she robbed?"
He hunched his shoulder and shook his head at an angle, as if a weight held it to one side. "Can't tell if anything's missing. Didn't have time to look. I went to use the key she gave me, but the door was unlocked, closed but unlocked. Something was behind the door when I pushed. It was her, laid out, throat cut ear to ear."
He drew a deep breath and seemed to stop breathing for a second before he continued.
"She shoulda came with me. But no. Said she had to be here. Had some business she had to take care of. And look what happened. Look at what happened."
Look at what happened ... He closed his eyes and repeated this slowly, as if in the repetition he might uncover some mistake, some error of the eye that would self-correct -- she'd only been sleeping after all and eventually would awaken and make things whole again.
"I called her, soon as we cleared the deck," he continued. "No answer. Machine didn't kick in and I thought she mighta been in the shower or something. So I came straight here. Knew we didn't have much time and I wanted her to be ready for this gig. Especially for this gig. And I found her layin' there. Don't know how long she been dead. God, if I'd only been here. If I'd only..."
I glanced over his shoulder and caught my father's eye. His expression seemed to say, "Don't ask any more questions. Not now. He's not up to it."
I nodded and pointed toward the building, then left them and walked across the street. I eased around the crowd again, smaller now that most of the onlookers, disappointed that the body was not forthcoming, had wandered back to the double- and triple-locked security of their own homes. Some of the cruisers had also dispersed, leaving two cars to flash on the remaining spectators clustered in tight whispering knots.
Tad stood in the doorway of the building, talking in a low voice to one of the identifying technicians. I waited until the tech disappeared inside again before I signaled. Tad's face, when he approached, was like stone. His mouth was a fine, thin line and his eyes, usually pools so calm and deep I wanted to dive into them, were now narrowed and focused like a laser on this latest circumstance.

Mali is a great detective and when her fathers friend daughter is murder she steps in to investigate. This book keeps you in suspence and before it's over although wrong everyone to you will be a suspect.
Never before have I enjoyed such fiction. A mind holding attraction. Vivid descriptions, details sharp and direct. However, simply fabulous is the 'Black History' in Harlem NY information used to entertain as well as educate. The four book series is a must read.....

In this paper, the physical mechanism governing the optical modulation in a p-i-n-diode-embedded photonic crystal (PC) silicon Mach-Zehnder interferometer modulator is examined. Optical simulations have been performed to study how the slow group velocity of the photonic crystal waveguides enables a significant reduction of device size. The theoretical speed limitation in a PC-based silicon modulator is also explored. The 2-D semiconductor device simulator MEDICI has been employed to analyze the transient behavior of the p-i-n-diode-embedded silicon modulator. Electrical simulations have revealed a significant improvement in modulation speed upon the enhancement of current density in a downscaled PC device. High-speed optical modulation at 1 Gmiddots-1 has been experimentally demonstrated. The performance degradation in optical modulation at the low-frequency operation region attributed to the thermooptic effect is identified and discussed. Simulations have also revealed that the modulation speed of our device can be improved up to 10 GHz by further reducing the device dimensions with little penalty of the increased optical loss.

hello everyone,
this could be a bit of a stupid question. I want to add pagination to my blog, however I'm not talking about individual post pagination, but about when main page shows certain number of post there is pagination for other sets of blog post. so far i mostly found pagination instructions for posts themselves but i want to add it to places like archive and main index.

In November, 2015 three FCP board members toured the Jalapa Valley.
They met with Project FE student6s, looked at the entire El Traqpiche water ststytem and inspected possible future projects.
Inside Boulder News – Volunteer of the Year, Greg Bowles.
A video about Nuevo-Amancer, a possible future project for Boulder, Jalapa Friendship City Projects.
For 2015, FCP was awarded another matching grant of $25,000 from the Benito & Frances C. Gaguine Foundation of Juneau, Alaska. This means your donation is automatically doubled. We are very grateful for the continuing support from the Gaguines and from you.
Of equal importance the community of El Trapiche has received a global grant from the Boulder Valley Rotary Chapter and Rotary International. This grant will advance the work on the water system. These funds will pay for materials necessary to lay the main water line into the village. Special thanks to Charley Mallon of Rotary for shepherding the grant process. Members of the Boulder Valley Rotary Club & the FCP Board will visit Nicaragua in November of this year to see this work in progress and to assess next steps.
This year's Fundraiser will finance the design and professional labor associated with the construction of the main water line, installation of a water meter and the completion of the water system by bringing water into each home.
Mission Statement
We build cooperative projects between Boulder and Jalapa that bring clean water to rural communities, empower women to improve the health of their families and foster educational and leadership opportunities for youth.

International Master Mackenize Molner continues GM Dzindzichashvili's series on the Pirc Defense this weekend, and Mac has "gone over to the dark side"! That's right, he's advocating black's perspective with his contributions, and he has his own ten plus years of experience to back him up! Molner starts off by displaying black's most basic ideas against the Classical Variation. Enjoy his clear explanations of black's plans, and take notes for your own repertoire! | Watch video
Part 3 of GM Kaidanov's latest video series on the Alapin continues today with more great examples of IQP attacking potential! He provides several examples from the games of GM Vajda, and points out many of the common tactical patterns that exist from the common middlegame structure that arises from the Alapin. He also reviews many of the sideline approaches for black. | Watch video
David's recommended theories for how to get the most out of your "self evaluations" and studies continues today! IM Pruess provides slightly more advanced examples when compared to his first installment, and focuses on the key points of how to draw conclusions from your post mortem reviews, how to start recognizing patterns in your mistakes, and where to go from there! | Watch video
After missing a complicated tactical shot from his opponent right out of the opening, IM Danny Rensch finds himself relying on accurate calculation and the "hope" of a better dynamic future for his pieces! If this kingside pawns can get rolling, and the Bishop Pair gets trolling, look out! Does he find enough to justify his early miscalculations? Watch and find out... | Watch video
GM Shankland reviews a game from recent tournament play against a fellow Chess.com Contributor. The game highlights many key positional factors in the dynamic "Hanging Pawn" structures that tend to occur in the Nimzo/Queen's Indian variations. Particularly, Shanky talks about multiple key exchanges, as well as the good and the bad decisions made in those moments by both he and his opponent. | Watch video
Though part 3 premieres more than a few weeks after the previous video, the game reviewed and variation covered could not be more topical! Just a few days after GM Dzindzichashvili recommended 5...Qb6 as "his" line, GM Wang Hao employed it and beat GM Nakamura at the Biel Chess Festival! Roman reviews the lines in more detail from the perspective of players at the highest level of chess... | Watch video
All good things must come to an end. Sadly, perhaps mostly for GM Dejan Bojkov, his coverage of the great Akiba Rubinstein must also have a stopping point. We reach that mark this weekend. No collection of "Dr Rubi's greatest hits" would be complete without a look into his Rook Ending play. It was because of Rubinstein that the term "all rook endings are drawn" came about. As we observe in this video lecture however, he was as creative with his winning plans as he was stubborn in his defense! | Watch video
Today GM Sam Shankland gives his recommendations for black in the main line Meran Variation (6.Qc2) of the Semi Slav. He focuses on black's e5-pawn break, the "dos and don'ts" of that idea, when it works out to a draw, and when black can achieve some real fighting chances. He provides example games of his own, as well as from other Top Level GMs. | Watch video
Grandmaster Khachiyan moved into the last round of the 2012 Western States Open in a massive tie for first place. Where did that leave him? In a must win situation! Realizing his opponent was likely fatigued from the previous game, Melik decided the best strategy would be to "mix it up" with tactics and tricks. When his opponent shows great resourcefulness, Melik must show good Rook Endgame technique to put the game away... | Watch video
FM Liu concludes this month's Amazing Games series with a two part video reviewing one of Carl Schlecter's greatest achievements! At the early turn of the 20th century, few could grind down an opponent with the positional style displayed in this game, and few games since could be considered as beautiful as this win in the Stonewall Dutch. Take Elliot's advice and practice the critical position against the computer before watching part 2! | Watch video

Research will focus on nitrogen utilization optimization in soybean
Research will focus on drought tolerance and nitrogen utilization optimization in corn and soybean.Syngenta entered into an eight-year research collaboration with Anhui Rice Research Institute (ARRI) of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences in China. The collaboration will center on conducting laboratory and field tests of novel gene functions and will focus on drought tolerance and nitrogen utilization optimization in key crops such as corn and soybean.The base crop for the program will be rice, a well-characterized crop regarding genetic, molecular, and agronomic information. Its genome is closely related to those of major crops such as corn. The relatively short growing cycle of rice will also allow more testing to be completed in a shorter time frame, explains Syngenta."This collaboration will accelerate our research and increase our efficiency and competitiveness," says Xun Wang, head of Syngenta Biotechnology China. "ARRI has strong expertise and experience in genetics, breeding and field experiments."In 2007, Syngenta entered into a five-year research collaboration with the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing on the development of novel agronomic traits for key crops such as corn, soybean, wheat, sugar beet, and sugar cane.The company, with employees in more than 90 countries committed to sustainable agriculture, says that all these transactions are a part of its efforts to work closely with Chinese academics.

I live behind a locked door,
And no one has the key.
It has been years, maybe more
Since someone talked to me.
The solitude was nice at first,
The quiet let me think.
But soon it took a turn for worse
Now all I do is blink.
So be careful, my dear friends,
When you wish for privacy.
Count to 5 when patience bends
Or you'll end up just like me.
Wish for Privacy by ScarletDevil1503Watch

This is amazing!
I can kind of relate to this...
I can kind of relate to this...
i love solitude ^_^ ... but i guess i never really understood what it meat to be alone
what did you use to write this?
waw... I hope you will find the key.
I love your poems! They mean so much and go so deep. They actually mean something not like some that people write, that don't make any sense!! I LOVE YOUR WORK KEEP IT UP!! AND ILL KEEP COMING BACK!!
Wow, this poem hits my heart like a punch to the chest. At this moment, this poem was something I needed. Thank you.
I can relate
Scary idea.
very beautiful poem i love quiet solitude at times, but ill also always love the noise of the annoying people that surround me
Very nicely done poem, good rhythm and rhyme, and with an appealing theme as well. Though personally, I would love complete and lasting solitude. I plan on living as a hermit as soon as I can.
I like this poetry..straight from heart. very well written.
Wow! I just felt like you wrote this for me. I want solitude right now and I'm getting more and more alone. I guess I have to break my shell.
Keeping balance between the two (solitude and socializing) is a difficult but necessary thing in life. Thanks for reading.
I know how you feel. I haven't talked to anyone in 3 months. Almost all of my friends quit trying to invite me to events.
last night I went out with my friends and I was still miserable... I don't know if I'm in a depression. I take photos, I don't like them. I draaw something, I hate it...
The theme reminds me Opeth's "Hours of Wealth", one of my favorite songs.
Good message. Thanks for posting.
Love it. Really awesome...
This is beautiful~ :}
Nobody is an island.
This really is nice. It reminds me of my wishes for privacy. You just want to be left alone, and you do. But then it's for too long and you wish for that noise again.
Hits home.
Oooh I love this <3
This is cool!
Its all about ballance I guess.Not being constantly alone but having a privacy sometimes is also important.
But what, if one has been alone for so long, that he doesnt really know, if they want a company?

A sluggish-looking Sporting KC bounced back in the second half to beat Toronto FC at home in Saturday MLS action.Freddy Hall carried on from a CONCACAF Champions League nod to usurp the starting goalkeeper role from Milos Kocic in MLS play against Sporting Kansas City. It backfired. The Bermudian gave up a soft late goal to let SKC seal a comeback win over Toronto FC in LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Saturday.
The opening goal arrived via route one soccer. Richard Eckersley dumped the ball forward and second-year defender Lawrence Olum kept Ryan Johnson onside. Johnson had ample time to trap, aim and finish.
The equalizer came from a set piece. Graham Zusi dumped a cross into the box, and the TFC defense cleared. At the top of the box, Paulo Nagamura attempted a one-time volley which hit the grass and looped over goalkeeper Freddy Hall.
With the clock ticking toward full time, Kansas City completed the comeback. After dinking the ball around the field in a smooth team move, Chance Meyers stood the ball up for former Barcelona youth midfielder Oriol Rosell to prod towards goal. Hall spilled what looked like an easy catch into his own net, and SKC claimed three points.

Symmetries in constraint problems present an opportunity for reducing search. This paper presents Lightweight Dynamic Symmetry Breaking, an automatic symmetry breaking method that is efficient enough to be used as a default, since it never yields a major slowdown while often giving major performance improvements. This is achieved by automatically exploiting certain kinds of symmetry that are common, can be compactly represented, easily and efficiently processed, automatically detected, and lead to large reductions in search. Moreover, the method is easy to implement and integrate in any constraint system. Experimental results show the method is competitive with the best symmetry breaking methods without risking poor performance.

Abstract"Several current and upcoming space-based telescope and laser beam director designs, such as the Next-Generation Space Telescope and the Space-Based Laser, call for large aperture optical components, often tens of meters in diameter. Using conventionalmirror/director technologies, the cost and weight of these systems would be prohibitive. In addition, conventional materials, such as glass, offer insufficient stiffness and their performance is affected by vibration and thermal service conditions. Amethod of fabricating mirrors/directors by infiltrating coal-based carbon foam with sol-gel glass compositions is proposed. The coal-based foam can be tailored with regard to stiffness, thermal expansion, and graded in density and pore structure throughits thickness to provide localized stiffness and thermal expansion control while maintaining an overall weight-efficient structure. The sol-gel derived glass provides the optical surface - in a form amenable to foam infiltration by common resin transfermolding practice. Both materials are very inexpensive (cents per pound) and, together, offer broad design flexibility. Polishability to obtain optical quality surfaces and thermomechanical performance in simulated space service conditions will beconsidered in the proposed effort. Carbon, when graphitic and highly ordered as in fiber or deposited film forms, can exhibit unmatched stiffness and thermal stability (e.g., near-zero thermal expa

I just made these with my daughter. They are a very good buttery cookie. I used all margarine and I added baking soda equal to the amount of salt to the recipe. Will definitely make again. A very colorful cookie.
Very, very good! Even though I used all margarine (instead of 1/2 butter), these still tasted a lot like shortbread. The texture is soft, slightly chewy (not cake-like). I found it easier to make balls by hand & then flatten with a fork. I think these would be a nice addition to my Christmas trays!
These are nice cookies, and they aren't as rich as I'd expected, but I'm not sure I love them. Maybe it's just me, but the flavor seemed a little off somehow... Everyone else really liked them though, and I promise I'll still be eating them, so four stars! I should also note that I got a full 5 dozen cookies, and that 13 minutes was perfect for cooking them.

Israeli officials on Tuesday lashed out at the EU over new guidelines barring its 28 member states from funding projects in Jewish settlements, including annexed east Jerusalem.
The guidelines were adopted by the European Commission on June 28 and will affect all EU grants, prizes and funding from 2014 onwards, with no further funding available to Israeli entities beyond the 1967 Green Line, officials said.
They will be formally published on Friday.
The move infuriated Israel, with a high-ranking official describing it as an "attack" on the Jewish state.
"When it comes to disputed territories, the Europeans prefer to attack a small country like Israel instead of taking on more powerful states, because they're afraid of retaliation," he said.
Israel, he said, had only been informed about the move "at the last moment."
The guidelines require a clear distinction be made in all signed agreements between Israel and the territories it occupied in the 1967 Middle East war -- including the Golan Heights as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank including east Jerusalem.
"These are guidelines on the eligibility of Israeli entities and their activity in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967 for grants, prizes and financial instruments funded by the EU from 2014 onwards," EU spokesman David Kriss told AFP.
"It makes a distinction between Israel and the entities in the West Bank, east Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights," he said.
The aspect which has most angered Israel is the "territorial eligibility" clause which means that from 2014, only territories within the 1967 will be considered eligible for any EU funding.
"This is the first time such an official, explicit directive has been published by the European Union bodies," a senior Israeli official told Haaretz newspaper, describing the move as an "earthquake" with both practical and political significance.
"Until today there were understandings and quiet agreements that the EU does not work beyond the Green Line; now this has become a formal, binding policy.
"From now on, if the Israeli government wants to sign agreements with the European Union or one of its member states, it will have to recognise in writing that the West Bank settlements are not part of Israel," he said.
Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin told the paper that Israel would not sign any agreements containing such a clause.
"We are not ready to sign on this clause in our agreements with the European Union," he said, suggesting it could halt Israel-EU cooperation in many fields and "cause severe damage to Israel."
"It's a very worrying initiative launched at a bad time, because it only reinforces the Palestinians' refusal to restart negotiations," he later told army radio.
Direct peace talks have been on hold for nearly three years, with the Palestinians refusing to return to the table without a freeze on settlement activity and Israel's acceptance of the 1967 lines as the basis for final status negotiations.
Israel says it wants talks, but without any such "preconditions."
The news from Brussels emerged as US Secretary of State John Kerry was due in Jordan for his sixth visit to the region in as many months as he pushes for a resumption of talks.
Danny Dayan, a spokesman for the Yesha Settler Council, which represents Israelis living in the West Bank, described the move as "one-sided and discriminatory."
He said it meant Europe had "effectively decided to abandon any involvement it had in the Middle East peace process."
"By aligning itself with the most extreme Palestinian demands... the EU can no longer be perceived as a neutral or objective," he added.
But senior Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi welcomed the move.
"The EU has moved to ... concrete steps which constitute a qualitative shift that will have a positive impact on the chances of peace," she said.

Focusing on the Present
The number of veterans using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies to manage life after combat has increased significantly in the past decade. An increase in the availability of these therapies in general, as well support from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has helped increase access to these treatments, giving vets a toolbox of new coping skills for post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries.

Self-criticism, rumination, and thought suppression are frequently associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Bennett & Wells, 2010), as is depression (Krupnick et al., 2008). There is evidence that self-compassion is negatively associated with self-criticism, rumination, thought suppression, anxiety, and depression, and positively associated with healthy psychological functioning, including life satisfaction and social connectedness (Neff, Rude, & Kirkpatrick, 2007). A small body of literature has assessed the role of self-compassion in PTSD.... More

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) represent a genuine breakthrough in healing. Just a decade ago, most research showed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to be an incurable condition (Benedek, Friedman, Zatzick, & Ursano, 2009).
