Topeka Police have a man behind bars, accused of holding up a person at gunpoint.
Police say a man told him he was approached just before 5:30 pm Wednesday in the 3100 block of SW 29th by a man who showed a gun and demanded money. The suspect got away with some cash. He left in what the victim described as a tan 1992 Buick four door.
Officers found a vehicle matching the description at Knollwood and Burlingame. They pulled over the driver, identified as Antonnio D. Gentry, and arrested him on charges of aggravated robbery, firearms and narcotics charges.
Topeka Police Officers and Detectives are still investigating the case.

Thread: What reasons do people fail FTO?
08-20-2004, 09:22 #1cam9mm Guest
What reasons do people fail FTO?
I guess a lot of potential officers fail when they are in Field Training. I think it would royally suck to have gone through the academy, graduated, and then thought you were good to go.
So, to all the FTO's out there, what are some of the reasons that your trainees have failed?
The selection process is so good and stringent, that I find this to be a very interesting question, because you obviously have someone to work with who is or should be a quality person with a lot of good characteristics.
I hesitate to ask the question, because it may have been asked previously, but there are new people to the board too, so I hope I'll get some replies, as I think this could be something candidates might be able to learn from, as well as be interesting.

I'd have to say that the great majority of people who do not make it thought their FTO process are individuals who either should not have been hired or graduated the academy in the first place. At least in my experience, it usually comes as no surprise. I have run into issues like the officer not having a solid basic understanding of the English language and having that effect their ability to communicate with people verbally during calls for service or even in writing legible offense reports. It was unbelievable that someone having those issues was able to skate though the academy without the staff realizing they did not need to go out on the street, even in a training capacity, but it happened. Not to be too critical of our academy staff they do a great job, but have quite a few folks they are responsible for. This is one of the many reasons to have a solid FTO process after the academy, it's all about checks and balances. I also feel they have their hands tied at times when it comes to terminating people of a certain ethnic background in the name of "diversityâ€. I'm all about giving people a fair shake, but if you just can't cut it then you need to go in my opinion, weather you speak Spanish, Mandarin Chinese or Italian I don't think concession that would not be allowed for everyone should be allowed for those few. We have also had a couple of officers who just didn't have the right personality for the position. Either not aggressive enough when warranted or just all out unsafe in situations. You must be able to take charge of any situation you find yourself in, however doing so without becoming overbearing is the key to successfully handling what you run into.

The majority of our trainees fail out for continued lack of officer safety awareness and problems with report writing. Lots of people can get hired and pass the acdemy, but the job really begins when you hit the streets. You have to be able to put together everything you've learned. After all the hiring processes and training, some people just aren't able to, so we hand them their walking papers. It's unfortunate, I'd like to have a crystal ball to weed those ones out and save my department money but I don't. You just have to make due and see if they can pass.
08-20-2004, 18:29 #4
During the last few hiring groups at the department I work for, we have had at least one person fail the FTO program. I'm not a FTO, but from what I have seen myself is that they have a hard time of multi-tasking. Or they have no sense of officer safety. Some have had a hard time doing one thing when they see other officers doing it one way, but then they get documented for doing something the wrong way.
My advise, when a FTO tells a PO to do something a certain way, do it their way. When they get to the next FTO, do it the way that they want it. Then once you are on the road by yourself, take everything you learned during the FTO program and do certain things the way you feel comfortable and feel safe.
As Flatfoot003 stated, a lot of people who don't make it through the program, probably shouldn't have made it through the academy or have been hired.
08-20-2004, 23:15 #5
This is interesting. I never really had a chance to be an FTO. I was promoted to sergeant before I got the chance. Then I had to deal with he aftermath of officers who made it through FTO who shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
One of the biggest complaint that I had as a supervisor was abysmal report writing. I mean awful.
It was pretty rare for anyone to fail out of FTO. There was one or two that failed before I was hired. I remember being stunned that one guy failed after I had been with the PD for a couple of years. Then again, taking over an hour on a simple accident is a bit much. We tried like hell to bring people along in FTO. Some guys just weren't cut out for that agency. For the most part they went on to other agencies and everything worked out fine there.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

When I was an FTO, I probably had about 15 to 20 rooks that I ran through the mill. I only had one get shitcanned during the process. He had numerous problems, but most of them would have gotten him fired at any job. He was frequently late, fell asleep often, couldn't remember simple information ( policy, procedure, law, etc.), and was so scared of someone resisting him, that he would automatically resort to deadly force every time in training scenarios when the "bad guy" would just advance on him. Nice guy, but he needed to be an accountant instead of the real-American-poh-lice.
08-21-2004, 05:05 #7
When I have trained people I find that the ones with the most diffuculty are the ones that think they know everything once they graduate from the academy. In the department I work for now I have only seen one person get canned from FTO and it wasn't for work performance there was none she never came to work after her first week of FTO. The reasons I would fail somebody from FTO are basically are officer safety everything else can be worked with hopefully.

FTO Failures
I will say that ususally it is problems with the trainee such as being too laid back, non assertive, can't pick up on how things are done in a resonable amt. of time, etc... which lead to serious problems for the trainee, but I am an example of someone who is the victim of a troubled FTO program. The first agency I worked for had some FTO's who were there (self admittedly) for the sole reason to intimidate, pressure, and belittle rookies until they broke. I had one of these guys and was scheduled to get another when I finally said to heck with this place. I still don't know why some of the officers at this dept. were so hateful and looked at rookies as pieces of shi$. Many of the better officers even talked about how rediculous it was. Moved on and am very happily employed by another PD for almost a year now. My experience here is like night and day with the first PD I worked for. I was talking with a friend from the first PD and he said they were finally going to revamp the FTO program after losing approximately 50% of the rookies from the last three classes. Apparantely it came to light how much city money these guys were wasting for the simple reason of being jerks. The academy was top notch, just had some bad apples spoiling the bunch for the FTO program."All that evil needs to succeed is good men who do nothing"

Lots of good stuff here. The biggest problem I have seen in the inability to apply what was learned in training to real world applications. I have seen several that know the statutes, policies and procedures, but cannnot put them all together and be able to make decisions on the street.
Like others have said, the ability to effectively communicate verbally or in writing, is a major problem with too many rookies. I see a lot of officers talk a good game at the station, but doing it on the streets is another story. I have seem more than my fair share of officers that cannot communicate the basic elements of a crime in a report, nor write it in a manner in which a prosecutor can understand what occurred.
The most entertaining and dangerous is the "gung-ho" rookie that thinks they know everything and they are going to save the world. Sometimes they like to initiate conflict and that is a big problem.
There are too many academy programs that fall short in training and are focused on teaching what is needed to pass the state exam. They in my opinion cheat the person going to the training due to not better preparing them for real world applications. They also turn this person out on the public, who will base their opinion on what that less than stellar officer does.
I applied to be an academy coordinator at a junior college and I was amazed that when I identified areas of training that needed to be further expanded, the program director/VP told me that it was not their job to do that, just prepare them for the state exam. I explained that we owed it to the cadets and the public to provide them the best trained officers that we could, rather than someone who was only taught what would be covered on an exam.
I also suggested that the college develop a program where the cadet would go through a 2 year program incorporating both an academic programs and academy training, where at the end, they would have an Associates Degree and the training courses they need to take the state exam. This way, we would know that they have had their basic reading, writing, and math skills at a college level and should be expected to write reports in a comprehensive manner. Also, I suggested that this would be a lead in program to a Bachelor's Degree, where they had agreements with local Universities to conduct upper level courses and could complete their requirements for a Bachelor degree either full or part time, depending on their work schedule.
I thought that this would be a leading program in the state and would provide departments excellent candidates and officers a great educational program. Nonetheless, I was told that they wanted to continue with their existing program and saw no reason to change. Nonetheless, since they were not interested in producing highly trained and educated officers, I wanted nothing to do with them.

Students of African Studies studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! African Studies textbooks – for example Civil Society and the Political Imagination in Africa: Critical Perspectives by [Jean Comaroff, John L. Comaroff], and Transition: An International Review 98: Ghana at 50 by [F. Abiola Irele, Tommie Shelby] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of African Studies is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of African Studies books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking African Studies classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Sports No Longer the Only Gays in the Village
posted by November 28 at 14:10 PMon
This is as hard for me to admit as it will be for many of you to believe but… I'm a snowboarder. Dude, really, don't laugh. I know it seems unlikely, considering my advanced age (34) and my taste in music (Sondheim, Gorme, Carr). But last fall I was ordered to attend three snowboarding classes at Snoqualmie Pass. Not only did I quickly learn to snowboard, I fell madly in love with thewhat the hell is it anyway? A sport? Maybe when Sean White does it. For me it's more of, oh I dunno, an activity?
I didn't wanna learnand that's putting it mildly.
My boyfriend and our son, both of whom skateboard, started snowboarding together two years ago. (My boyfriend lied about our son's age to get him into his a snowboarding class at the Pass.) Soon we were taking trips together, all three of us, to massive Canadian ski resorts near my boyfriend's parent's hilarious time-share/time-capsule condo. (It is always the early `70s at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.) On these trips, they would go off snowboarding while I sat around the lodge, drinking beer and reading. It was ideal, in my opinion, but my boyfriend insisted that I at least try to learn how snowboard. So that we could all do it together. You know, as a family.
So I learnedreluctantly. But I fell in love with it fast. So last year we went to Sunshine Village and Panorama in the Canadian Rockies; Silver Mountain in Idaho; Snoqualmie Pass (a dozen times), 49 Degrees North, Mount Baker in Washington. I bring to snowboarding the same reckless disregard for my safety that I've long brought to biking. Who knew that falling down a mountain could be so much damn fun?
Our first snowboarding trip this year was last weekend. We went to Crystal Mountainthat's my son and boyfriend in the picture above; that's Mount Rainier behind them. On Saturday we had tons of new snow and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Brilliant. On Sunday we had even more new snow, but with howling winds and near-blizzard conditions. Also brilliant.
But what we really liked about our visit to Crystal was discovering that, for what felt like the first time, we were not the only gays in the ski village. We haven't run into many other queers in the ski resorts we've visited. Yes, yes: there's some big annual gay ski thing/circuit party in Whistler. But we're not interested in segregating ourselves, nor do we resent having to share mountains with straight peoplelike our son. We've just wondered, you know, where the other homo skiers and snowboarders are. Winter sports, it seems, aren't big with queers. (Water sports on the other hand…)
So we were thrilled to discover a whole pack of hot, urban, snowboardin' dykes up on Crystal last weekend. Friday night our waitress gave off a slightly dykey air. On Saturday night we noticed a whole table of slightly dykey looking 18-25 year-old women.
We were right: They were all dykes. And they're all living and working on the mountain this season! And, man, can those girls drink! How did Crystal come to have a pack of resident dykes? Our waitress, we learned, worked at Crystal last year, and she was the loneliest lesbian in Washington State. This year talked a bunch of her snowboarding lesbian pals into applying for jobs, and she's no longer lonely.
So if you're a snowboarder too, head up to Crystal this year and say hello to Crystal's resident dykes. And tell `em I said hello too.
We're headed to Mt. Baker next. Who knows? Maybe we'll find some fags up on that mountain…

Then I decided to add the ezinearticles plugin and that created a problem with posting, saving drafts, etc. I deactivated it but still had the problem. I deactivated all my plugins and reactivated them one by one, testing each time. The only one other than the ezinearticles plugin that still caused problems was YARP. I deleted both and reinstalled YARP. It still causes problems. Please help because YARP is one of my most favorite plugins.

Since 1991, the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies (CSEEES) has promoted understanding of and engagement with East European and Eurasian countries. It has worked to enhance capacity to meet strategic U.S. needs through a variety of projects and activities: teacher training, public outreach, course development, instruction in area and language studies, conferences and workshops, and faculty and student exchanges. The Center draws upon a broad base of support with 30 core faculty members and nearly 30 associated faculty members who regularly teach courses and engage in research focused on Eastern Europe, Russia, or Eurasia. From 1991 to 2014, in consortium with Duke University's Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's CSEEES was recognized by the International Education Programs Service office of the U.S. Department of Education as one of sixteen National Resource Centers (NRC) in Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies.
The Center serves as a resource for faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students in diverse disciplines and promotes interdisciplinary knowledge. In addition to directly supporting teaching, research, and public outreach activities, the Center is home to the Russian, Eurasian and East European Concentration in Global Studies MA Program. The CSEEES regularly contributes to international understanding and scholarship by hosting distinguished scholars and administrators, and meeting with foreign delegations from our region of the world.
Student Support And Instruction
The newly created Russian, Eurasian and East European Concentration in Global Studies MA Program receives vital support from CSEEES activities. The MA degree stresses multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches to the study of Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia in an era of globalization and internationalization. Students work closely with the Director, Associate Director, and affiliated faculty members of the Center in constructing their programs. The MA degree is unique within the University, combining learning of Slavic or East European languages (Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian-Croatian) with a substantial number of courses that focus upon the Russian, Eurasian, and East European geo-cultural area. Graduates find employment in the U.S. military and government, national and international nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector, or choose to continue their education.
The Center works closely with the Department of History, the Department of Political Science, the Curriculum in Global Studies, the Carolina Institute of the Environment, and the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense, as well as other campus departments and programs to provide innovative learning experiences. The CSEEES Director leads a summer Burch Field Research Seminar program in Austria, Croatia, and Bosnia entitled, "International Organizations and the Balkans: Focus on the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe." In conjunction with the UNC Study Abroad Office, the CSEEES helped to develop study abroad opportunities such as the Jerome College of Prague, the UNC Summer in Moscow at the Russian State University of the Humanities (RGGU), and the Institute for the Environment Summer Field Program in Siberia. Other study abroad programs are available in Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.
Research Support
The CSEEES stimulates study and research on Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe by funding travel, providing course development grants, and underwriting small-scale projects for UNC faculty. For example, the Center co-sponsors the "Gender, War, and Culture" workshop series, "Russia and its Empires, East and West" seminars and Czech Studies workshop.
The CSEEES also supports interdisciplinary working groups on important topics such as Collective Violence and Conflict Resolution (CVCR). An interdisciplinary team from the CVCR working group was recently awarded a National Science Foundation grant for the study of political violence. CSEEES is working with the UNC Office of Research Development to develop a comprehensive, strategic research plan, which will include innovative working groups.
The Center also enables research by providing resources to the Davis Library for materials acquisition. The library's Slavic and East European Collection is one of the best in the nation, for it has over 800,000 print volumes. The André Savine collection was acquired in 2002 and contains unique materials on Russian émigré. The collection provides a unique opportunity for scholarship on revolutionary and post-revolutionary émigré culture and history, and documents from the Trans-Caspian Provisional Government (1918-1919).
To support an active, collaborative, scholarly community, the Center organizes conferences, workshops, and seminars to which both foreign and domestic scholars, diplomats, civic activists, and political leaders are invited as speakers on a variety of Slavic, Eurasian, and East European topics.
Community Support
Community outreach activities and teacher training are integral to the CSEEES mission. The Center collaborated with the Ukrainian Association of North Carolina to host "The Ukrainian Famine-Genocide: Reflections After 75 Years" Conference at the UNC FedEx Global Education Center. CSEEES collaborates with World View and North Carolina in the World to provide training and resources to North Carolina K-12 and community college instructors seeking to internationalize classrooms. As part of the Kyrgyz Connect project, CSEEES-affiliated visiting scholars from Kyrgyzstan met with students from Clayton Middle School's Global Connection class and helped link classrooms in North Carolina and Kyrgyzstan. In addition, the Center funds teacher scholarships for UNC's Program in the Humanities and Human Values seminars. CSEEES staff and affiliated faculty regularly provide timely and valuable information to local media outlets. We sponsor speakers, and musical and theatrical programming for the broader community. More than 700 individuals subscribe to Connections, our Center's quarterly publication, and over 550 individuals receive announcements on our Center's events listserv.
Diversity Statement
The MA Program understands that diversity is a critical element of Carolina's pursuit of academic excellence, and is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive community.
We strive to enhance U.S. national security and global competitiveness by promoting international service and awareness among a broader, more representative cross-section of the American citizenry.

After upgrading to WordPress 3.2 and BackWPup 2.0, I can no longer use this plugin for my multisite WordPress. Any good idea?
After upgrading to WordPress 3.2 and BackWPup 2.0, I can no longer use this plugin for my multisite WordPress. Any good idea?
I am getting the same thing.
My work around is in not using the zip output format - I changed it to Tar GZip and it seems to be working properly.
I can confirm that is was working fine with 1.7.8 and MultiSite 3.2. You only had to include all tables manually, instead of being selected by default. Just pick one blog where you configure BackWPUp and it backs up your whole install.
I'm going back to 1.7.8 for the time being
Yes everything worked fine in multisite until the BackWPup 2.0 I think I will need to go back as well
I habe the same error, WPMS 3.2 and BackWPup 2.0.
Problem is on private developer website only the 1.7.7. version can be downloaded, and this was broken, too.
Now restoring 1.7.8 from my backups :P
same here... :)
I already wrote the developer to maybe bring this functionality back - but only for main blog in multisite and for admins only. So this would make the most sense for me as all sub blogs are included in the main db tables.
-dave :)
Tiis would bee great!
I used it also in the main blog to backup all blogs.
yes, i bring it back after my holyday.... ;)
@daveshine good point, as the module backs up all of the multiple site when it backs the database it really should not be available to all the website in a MU setup allowing anyone to get all the database for all the websites, a definate privacy issue.
It should be in the super admin only and have no relation to the websites
Thank you Daniel! No problem just enjoy your holidays with your family!!!
Hi Daniel
I upgraded to 2.01 and the massage is still there with another that relates to the upgrade, I de activated they both went away, I re activated they both appeared
Multiseite Blogs not allowed!
The plugin generated 245 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice "headers already sent" messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
Got the "Multiseite ... " error first time when upgrading from 1.7.8 to 2.0 (on WP 3.2)
Still getting the error after upgrading to 2.0.2
Also from time to time get the message about unexpected output - just by me it is 244 characters, not 245
/Karl Erik Jessen
Copenhagen Denmark
Daniel will bring back Multisite to work after his holidays we just have to wait a few days/weeks for that...
Finally it works in 2.1.0, cheers!

If walking up hills is not your thing, take the easy way on the chair lift. For only 4 Euros return you can travel from the village at the bottom, across the river and up to the top of the hill. At the top there is a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the village. We had lunch there - schnitzel and chips and wurst and potato salad - and the food was good with reasonable prices. If you buy a single ticket, the walk down past the vineyards is pleasant.
Address: Altenahr
Directions: Follow the road opposite the railway station.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

For our third annual list, we sought to highlight literature that exposes readers to cultures and ways of life that may be different from their own...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasnt nearly as Wicked as we imagined.
Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

The Hunter 36 is a stunning cruiser. The updated window line gives this yacht a sleek feel, but the improvements don't end there. The hull design has been improved, featuring a wider beam further aft as well as a more profound bow hollow. The result of this hull design is a longer dynamic waterline, which means more speed.
The deck features a sleek, modern profile with large side windows allowing for increased interior light. The deck hatches are flush-mount, offering an enhanced look that complements the new profile. Lengthening the cockpit has allowed the Hunter 36 to have a cockpit that is a foot and a half longer than its predecessor. The cockpit of the Hunter 36 also features a fold-down swim platform that extends the already lengthy cockpit another three feet when folded down while the boat is docked or at anchor. Even with the fold-down swim platform, the Hunter 36 has a telescoping stainless steel swim ladder that can be easily accessed while the swim platform is up or down. This safety feature not only functions well, providing stable steps for re-boarding the boat, but also hides away, making for a prettier stern.
Extending the cockpit an additional eighteen inches allows for a larger and more airy master aft cabin that features more headroom, eliminating any feeling of claustrophobia. Overall, the interior has been enhanced with a richer look and feel. Enhancements start at the sole of the interior which features a hardwood flooring look that accentuates the true beauty of the Hunter 36's interior. Corian countertops are featured at the galley with complementing stainless steel fiddles that not only keep items from falling off the countertops in a seaway but also serve as excellent hand holds for personal stability when moving about below. the interior wood used for the bulkheads as well as cabinet doors has been rotated 90 degrees so that the wood grain runs horizontally instead of vertically. Not only does this add a crisp modern touch to the interior, it also gives the eye the impression of a larger interior space. The salon is offered in two styles, the traditional U-shaped design or a contemporary arrangement that allows guest to face one another while seating five comfortably. The table also doubles as an additional bunk area for 2 people when the table is lowered into the bunk position.
The Hunter 36 is also available in a performance-enhanced version that will feature a deep draft lead keel, upgraded winches, spinnaker gear including a retractable bow sprit, a 42" wheel,folding propeller,"flat top fat mainsail" for increased mainsail power, and the deletion of the swim platform to save weight and open the cockpit for a performance-enhanced feel.

Katherine Heigl: Actress, Mom… and Animal Rescuer
Heigl on Holly in "Life As We Know It"
Heigl got a lot of flack for criticizing the character she played in Knocked Up as "humorless and uptight" in an interview with Vanity Fair, but says all the roles she's played in the past 10 years have reflected some aspect of her personality. Most like her, she thinks, was Holly in Life as We Know It. Holly winds up sharing guardianship of a toddler with a seemingly incompatible dude (played by Josh Duhamel) when the girl's parents, their respective best friends, die in a car crash.
"She's the closest to who I am when I'm at my best," Heigl muses. "She was strong, independent, but had a lot of compassion and heart. She could be controlling and uptight when things got stressful, but she was honest about herself and able to change."
Would Heigl want her two daughters to follow in their parents' footsteps and pursue a career in acting or music? She's torn. "Both are tough industries to break into and can be full of rejection and criticism, but if they have passion for it like Josh and I do, I would never deny them taking their shot," she says. "I might try encouraging law school or med school first, though, and see if it takes!"
Heigl's favorite bonding time with her human and furry family is in the evening, stretched out on the sofa in the media room that was Heigl's dream for their Utah house, watching animated movies. "The dogs are sofa dogs, so they're all up in my grill," she laughs. "Part of me wishes I hadn't allowed that, but it's too late now. Everyone gets kissed and petted and loved."
Adjusting to Adoption
Heigl and Kelley were among more than 1,000 U.S. families who adopted children from South Korea in 2009. Just two years later, there were only 736 such adoptions -- and the number will continue to drop as South Korea phases out international adoptions.
Many other countries have also slowed adoptions to the United States. Now, many children adopted from overseas have medical needs, and even those who don't are at least toddler age, says Abbie Smith, LCSW, director of clinical social services at Holt International Children's Services. "Almost all the kids coming home now are at least 18 months, and that changes the whole ball game," she says. "They've left everything they know: the smells, the sounds, the food of their culture, all the people in their lives."

After a too-long hiatus from posting clips, I'm back at it and climbing to my rightful place. I found a new sexy brat, and she thinks you're an idiot too. I mean, your little dick could never handle all this wonderful woman goodness in front of you. Keep fucking your hand.
We like big cocks, and we cannot lie. We have zero desire for your little dick, and you know it. Yet here you are, showing it to us so we can laugh and point at it. Maybe you realize that, since you will never please a woman sexually, your only redeeming factor is your wallet. It's such a deep reality that you've come to be aroused by it – turned on by being told off. That's your job: to serve financially and to be the target of bratty bullying! Who wants to fuck that little button of yours? Not us, and not anyone else. So, you'd better stuff your pants with something bigger and of value: your fat, thick, throbbing wallet.

Simulating the Perception of Audio by Hearing-Impaired People
The development of advanced hearing prosthetic aids and cochlear implants allow many hearing-impaired people to receive audio signals. Consequently, it has been an interesting task to simulate the perception of audio with people who have severe hearing impairments or use electronic hearing aids. Results of the experiments in this domain performed with partially deaf and cochlear implanted patients are presented. Since some substantial simplifications were made for the sake of these experiments, future research is planned in order to find further methods for reliable simulation of impaired ear characteristics.

|"Skaar: Son of Hulk" #1 on sale this week
In last yearâs âWorld War Hulk,â the Hulk and a handful of survivors headed to Earth to gain revenge on those they felt responsible for the explosion, but what became of Sakaar after its king left? âPlanet Hulkâ and âWorld War Hulkâ scribe Greg Pak and artist Ron Garney answer that question and more this week when Marvel Comicsâ new ongoing series, âSkaar: Son of Hulkâ begins.
The idea for âSkaarâ came to Greg Pak early on in the planning stages of âPlanet Hulk.â âI realized we had an incredible opportunity to do something totally crazy,â the writer told CBR News. âWe knew that Caiera the Oldstrong, the Hulk's pregnant queen, would die at the end of âPlanet Hulkâ -- but who's to say that the nuclear blast that disintegrated her would be able to kill the half-Hulk child in her womb? I pitched the idea to Hulk editor Mark Paniccia and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, both of whom loved it, and Skaar was born.â
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #1
âSkaarâ #1 begins with the destruction of Sakaarâs Crown City, just before the Hulk leaves for Earth. âSkaarâs immediate goal is survival, which is no mean trick when youâre ripped from your mother's womb and thrown into the boiling waters of a radioactive sea,â Pak stated. âI won't say too much about how his goals develop for fear of spoilers, but a savage princess, a pack of Brood/Native hybrids, and a mysterious Earthman will play key roles as the plot thickens.â
Like the protagonist, the supporting cast of âSkaarâ is composed of new characters, âso new readers will have zero trouble jumping right on board,â Pak said. âBut the story's full of Easter eggs and nifty payoffs for fans of the characters we followed through âPlanet Hulkâ and âWorld War Hulkâ and the âWWH: Warboundâ mini. Every issue will reveal connections and relationships that will have special resonance for those who have followed those earlier stories.â
Pak has a number of obstacles and adversaries lined up to oppose Skaar, the most fearsome of them being Axeman Bone. âHeâs an Imperial general who's returned from the Fillian War riding a dragon at the head of a barbarian horde,â Pak said. âI know we're all supposed to hate this guy, but the more I write the Axeman, the more I love him. He's probably the best villain I've ever created. We're revealing his back story bit by bit, and by the end, we'll see how his insane worldview makes perfect sense -- from his twisted perspective. He's the hero of his own story, which makes him capable of almost anything and all the more terrifying as a villain.â
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #1
Skaarâs adventures are savage, epic and emotional tales, and Pak feels Ron Garneyâs art depicts those qualities in spades. âRon is giving this book everything he has -- the level of dynamic detail he's working into each and every panel is blowing my mind. And he totally gets Skaar,â Pak said. âAbout ten years ago, Ron did a run on âIncredible Hulkâ that I thought was amazing -- he really understood the insane savagery of the Hulk and managed to work an almost chilling strangeness into the Hulk's eyes. He's found that same eerie quality in Skaar, which increases the suspense of every moment immeasurably. Skaar starts this tale as an absolutely savage animal-- there's literally no telling just how he'll react to any given situation, and the wildness that Ron puts in his eyes brings that terrifying reality to life.â
Itâs Skaarâs primal qualities that Pak finds most compelling about the character. âHe's a savage man-child, born in fire, raised by monsters, and destined to conquer!â the writer said. âLike the Hulk, he's an immensely satisfying character to write and read about because he does what we all wish we could do when we're faced with stupidity and injustice -- he smashes (or sometimes slashes! But unlike his father, Skaar has none of the civilizing influences of a boyhood in suburban Dayton, Ohio. So he gives us a great chance to explore in a hugely high-stakes way just what the dark consequences of this kind of savage justice might be.â
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #1
On a ruined planet like Sakaar, justice is often in the eye of the beholder. âSkaar is a lion on the veldt, a wolf in the woods, a shark in the sea,â Pak remarked. âWhether you consider him to be a hero or a villain might depend on whether you're predator or prey yourself.â
Skaarâs ability to survive on Sakaar has been greatly enhanced by the superhuman physical traits he inherited from his father but itâs still unclear if his mother passed on any of her super abilities. âSkaar's mother, Caiera the Oldstrong, was one of the few members of her species to possess the Old Power, which allowed her to channel almost unlimited strength derived from the planet itself,â Pak stated. âWhether Skaar has inherited the Old Power himself may mean life or death for millions by the end of our story.â
The action in âSkaarâ sends the title character all over his post-apocalyptic home world. âWe begin in the shattered ruins of Crown City, but we'll end up exploring the most secret corners of Sakaar -- places only hinted at during the âPlanet Hulkâ saga, including the barbarian empire of Fillia, the fabled city of Okini, and that legendary locus of power known as Prophet's Rock,â Pak explained.
|"Skaar: Son of Hulk" #1 variant covers by Julie Bell and Carlo Pagulayan
âItâs also worth noting that the planet has become even more savage since the days of âPlanet Hulk.â The explosion that destroyed Crown City also wiped out any central authority and social order. Now the survivors fight for their lives against bandits, monsters, and madmen in the war-torn ruins and wastelands.â
âSkaar: Son of Hulkâ is the third installment in the trilogy Pak began with âPlanet Hulk,â and Pak and Garney have taken special care to make sure they give readers a truly âgrand finale.â âBelieve it or not, it's even more epic than âPlanet Hulk,ââ the writer promised. âAs a brand new character, Skaar will go through an even bigger emotional arc than the Hulk did during his time on Sakaar. And we'll have the chance to explore even more of the planet and its history, geography, religion, and destiny than ever before. One of the thrilling things about the story is that as a brand new character, literally anything can happen to Skaar. This is a phenomenally high-stakes story with insane twists and real, lasting, and deeply satisfying character development and change. So donât you dare miss it!â
Now discuss this story in CBR'âs Hulk forum.

Students at Yreka Adventist Christian School (YACS) want to say a big thank you to the citizens of Yreka for helping them with their canned food drive on Oct. 19 for the Yreka Food Bank. As part of their commitment to serve our community, YACS grades 5-8 students, staff and parent volunteers initiated a canned food drive to replenish food bank supplies for the holidays.
After passing out bags earlier in the week, five different groups picked up the bags on Friday, Oct. 19 from locations all over town, loaded them into cars and took them directly to the food bank. Due to the generosity of Yreka residents, the number of canned goods and non-perishables amounted to nearly 1,300 items.
Dorris Dickens, food bank director, expressed her gratitude for what the students had done for their community. "We thank God for your help," she stated. "This is the largest amount of food that's been brought in from a single organization, and we're serving new people nearly every day." The food bank exists to meet the needs of families and individuals in our community by providing emergency supplemental food on a monthly basis to 500-700 individuals. Together we are making a difference.
For more information on the school and its community service projects, call the office at 842-7071. To give or help with the food bank (located on Juvenile Lane behind the old hospital), call 841-4376.

Myth vs. Reality on Anti-Aging Vitamins
Vitamin E continued...
New laboratory studies suggest vitamin E helps inactivate free radicals, making them less likely to cause damage. Several other studies have shown applying vitamin E to the skin can reduce damage caused by sun exposure and limit the production of cancer-causing cells.
"For additional sun protection, individuals may consider taking vitamin E supplements," said Burke, in a release. "Supplementation with vitamin E in 400 milligrams a day has been noted to reduce photodamage, wrinkles and improve skin texture."
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the most common antioxidant found in the skin. It's also found in vegetables and citrus fruits. Like vitamin E, vitamin C is considered important in repairing free radicals and preventing them from becoming cancerous or accelerating the aging process.
Since vitamin C is most prevalent in the skin, the skin is the organ that suffers most from environmental stressors. Smoking, sun exposure, and pollution rob the nutrient from our bodies, says Burke.
"Even minimal UV exposure can decrease the vitamin C levels in the skin by 30 percent, while exposure from the ozone of city pollution can decrease the level by 55 percent," said Burke in a release.
Creating a skin cream that carries a useful dose of vitamin C is difficult because it reacts immediately when exposed to oxygen. Several clinical trials examining more stable, effective formulations are currently under way.

The Elite isn't the only villainous opponent the Man of Steel faces in SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE. Here is an official clip, courtesy of Warner Home Video, that features Superman battling the Atomic Skull.
In SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE, Superman's effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as "The Elite," appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy — putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel.
The all-new, PG-13 rated film is scripted by award-winning comics writer Joe Kelly and the story is adapted from his original 2001 DC Comics release, "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" The single-issue comic, Action Comics #775, was lauded by Wizard Magazine as the "Greatest Superman Story of All Time," and ranked the epic tale at No. 21 on its list of the "Top 100 Comics of the last 30 years."

Para-virtualization in Linux with Xen 3
The Xen virtualization system is is quickly becoming a standard feature of corporate Linux. We'll show you how to get started with the latest version of Xen.
The long-expected Xen version 3 was finally released late last year. Xen, which is sponsored by the University of Cambridge, England, has developed into one of the leading virtualization solutions for Linux. Global Linux players, including Novell, RedHat, HP, IBM, Intel, and AMD, have thrown their support to Xen. Thanks to its excellent performance and low cost, the Xen virtual machine monitor could be the catalyst we have all been waiting for to boost virtualization in Linux. Guest Control The recent evolution of virtual computing has centered on the problem of delivering a virtualized environment with minimal system overhead. So-called full virtualization involves mapping computer chips, such as the CPU or the keyboard controller, to software. Full virtualization makes the virtual machine independent of its physical underpinnings, and is thus very flexible, but the structure necessary to maintain full virtualization adds complexity that significantly affects performance.

AYODHYA, India (AP) - India's prime minister appealed for peace Thursday following Hindu-Muslim violence that has killed more than 700 people, and thousands of police and troops sealed off this tense northern city ahead of a disputed prayer ceremony.
Police detained 1,000 Hindu activists as they headed to Ayodhya, where Hindu nationalists vowed to pray Friday near the site of a razed 16th-century mosque despite a Supreme Court ban on the ceremony, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Hindu nationalists want to build a temple on the site of the destroyed mosque - a move strongly opposed by Muslims - and authorities fear Friday's ceremony will generate more violence.
"I take this opportunity to appeal to all the political and nonpolitical organizations across the country to cooperate with government ... to maintain peace and communal harmony," Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee told Parliament in New Delhi.
Despite Vajpayee's call for unity, Parliament adjourned in an uproar Thursday after an opposition lawmaker accused Vajpayee of advocating Hindu nationalism.

A tribute by Capt. Joe Earl
(an `Indefatigable` Boy)
Have you heard of Mrs Drysdale? - no reason why you should,
Unless you were a Vindi Boy recalling pretty good,
She's the smartly painted figurehead from your training ship,
Which started life in `93 down a launching slip.
Many thousand old boys have memories of her,
Men from Vindicatrix I'm sure will all concur,
Training there was tough, discipline a blast,
But the making of a seaman from boy to man at last.
They came, perhaps, from cities, a village or the plough,
And grew aboard the Vindi - with Drysdale on the bow,
Learning by the hard times, the hunger and the strife,
The hale and hearty culture and friends made there for life.
The lads were taught seafaring ways, `afore they went abroad,
Instilled in them the values, that helped them stand assured,
Eventually they sailed away, each with doughty crew,
Plying trade around the world where the `duster` flew.
They joined the ranks of steadfast men, who kept our commerce flowing,
Withstanding foe and stormy seas when the winds were blowing,
All for one and shipmates - when the devil knocks,
Stemming from their early days hard by Sharpness docks.
A kindred spirit bonds them, by sailing `neath the stars,
The sea their life and laughter when living under spars,
Boldly then, they stood the worst, in peace, or war convoys,
Nothing less would one expect - from Vindicatrix boys.

Every thing is under the control of the Almighty; The death of the prophet's grand son. was foretold. When Saitan was granted the wish the saliheen were promised much better life. Even now people like ibn Ziyards are ruling.That is why in Egypt, Iraq, and syria blood is spilling.
the buck stops at Yazid, had he not sent young blood Ibn Ziyad to Kufa as Governor, Karbala would not have happened. Ziyad left Husain no choice other than to fight…
Alhumdulillah, good informative lecture about the death of Hussayn (RA)

This paper presents a new concept for enhancing the seismic ductility and damping capacity of diagrid structural frames by using shear-link fuse devices and its seismic performance is assessed through nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. The architectural elegancy of the diagrid structure attributed to its triangular leaning member configuration and high structural redundancy make this system a desirable choice for tall building design. However, forming a stable energy dissipation mechanism in diagrid framing remains to be investigated to expand its use in regions with high seismicity. To address this issue, a diagrid framing design is proposed here which provides a competitive design option in highly seismic regions through its increased ductility and improved energy dissipation capacity provided by replaceable shear links interconnecting the diagonal members at their ends. The structural characteristics and seismic behavior (capacity, stiffness, energy dissipation, ductility) of the diagrid structural frame are demonstrated with a 21-story building diagrid frame subjected to nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. The findings from the nonlinear time history analysis verify that satisfactory seismic performance can be achieved by the proposed diagrid frame subjected to design basis earthquakes in California. In particular, one appealing feature of the proposed diagrid building is its reduced residual displacement after strong earthquakes.

I found that it was not easy to negotiate with drivers in Chennai. But, do persist and decide on the rate and destination before you get in. There are many to choose from, so if not happy, try the next one, they will surely give you a good price then.
As Chennai is so spread out, I did find it useful to hire a rickshaw and driver for a few hours to show me around and take me to specific sights.
- Budget Travel
Pre-paid taxi service
Do make use of the pre-paid taxi service at the airport. There are about three operators to choose from; I made use of the Government-approved operator.
A trip from the airport to Egmore only cost Ind Rs 250 (January 2008).
Kingfisher Airlines
Flying between Mumbai and Chennai with Kingfisher, was absolute joy. Departure from the domestic terminal in Mumbai was easy, as only two airlines operated from the specific terminal at that stage.
Staff members meet you as you enter the airport building and assist you all the way with friendliness.
The tariffs are very good, when I booked; the fare was about one third of competitors. Bookings can be made on the internet.
Also impressive is the in-flight entertainment – you can watch many different channels of live satellite TV.
I would recommend this airline anytime!
Air and rail
Chennai is an international airport connected by several international airlines while the domestic traffic is handled by Indian Airlines. There are regular flights to several cities around the world from the International Terminal. There are also daily flights to all important centres in India from the Domestic Terminal. There are two major railway stations in Chennai. Chennai Central is the bigger one and connects the city by broad gauge as also broad gauge trains to all major cities and towns of India. The Egmore station is the starting point for both meter gauge and broad gauge trains proceeding to destinations within the state as well as trains to neighbouring Kerala. Chennai is also accessible by road from any part of India.
Air: Kamaraj National and Anna International Airports are situated at Meenambakkam about 20 kms. from city. Can also be reached by suburban train services.
Rail: Chennai is connected by rail with all major towns and cities in India. Main Railway Stations: Central and Egmore. Central linking north and west and Egmore south.
Road: Chennai is connected by good network of roads with all important places in Tamil Nadu and other parts of India. You may rent a car with private cab owners. Pre-paid taxis and airport coaches are available at airports.
Chaotic Traffic
Driving in & around Chennai is chaotic. Everyone drives like mad guys with little respect for traffic order. Cars honking everywhere. It's better to sit down, relax and let the locals to drive you around. Beware of motorcyles & autos. And oh yeah, nobody wears helmet and nobody wears seat belts here. Most people drive with the windows open to get 'fresh' air from outside. Also, just close your eyes if you can't take it when the car overtakes and runs over kerbs or road dividers. It's perfectly normal.
* These are fun to ride in (a.k.a terrifying) and even more fun to see how many people you can fit into one. The price should be around 40-50 rupees (as of summer 2006), but at night the price will go up understandably. As a foreigner you'll get charged more. Don't try to pit rickshaw drivers against each other in a bidding war, it won't work, they stick together.
Street Names
Street names change. Frequently. Street signs are usually painted onto buildings at just below eye level, and I think are always yellow with black writing. Tamil and English are usually on the same sign; if not, check the other side of the street. Although the names won't match anything on your map, so it doesn't really matter…
The photo is the sign for a major road, whose name actually shows up on several maps. Many signs are located better than this one is, but most are not.
chennai airport
If you are expecting someone at chennai airport.no need to rush headlong into parking lots.they charge you and there is no shade.
i will suggest you an alternative.just outside the airport is the airport road with lots of shade due to trees and a small hillock overlooking the airport.
some local trains pass by so that you can while away your time in comfort.when your arrival comes you can see the plane taxiing in to the parking bay.in a few moments your loved ones can call u on your cell. ask them to wait at arrivals. drive down in your car and pick them up.
at no other airport i have this convenience. thats why i love chennai airport.
especially useful to people expecting their bosses by the incoming flight.
you can get a good view of takeoffs from this point too.
- Road Trip
gas station (petrol station/pump)
well travelling in chennai in an auto can be a nightmare.meter system does not exist even if the meters are there on autos.
you will be quoted a fixed price for moving from one point to another.most indians cant speak tamil except tamil indians.so language itself becomes a problem. but i was surprised to know how many auto drivers could understand and converse basic english and hindi.
in INR 700 you can hire the auto for an entire daymoving anywhere in the limits of chennai.
point to point travel will be quoted at a price.and once the autos know you are not a local person they have already made up their mind to fleece you.
befriend a local person and ask him to strike a deal with auto fellas and you will get some respite.
in the morning the first thing an early customer will experience is that the auto will go to a gas station for filling up petrol.
the gas stations in chennai are neat and clean as sen in the pic.
as the day gets busy they buzz with activity.
- Eco-Tourism
Autorickshaws (Ricks)
Be prepared to fix flat rates with autos before you go, and it shouldn't be the rate the driver quotes you first. (An Indian friend told me that for him to go a certain distance would be 50 rupees. Us together was 70. Me alone was originally quoted as 120.)
- Budget Travel
Road networks of Tamil Nadu Transport Corporation make it easy to access the tiniest village by comfortable and deluxe buses. Interstate buses operate at regular intervals from Chennai. Many private operators are available for domestic and interstate transportation.
Chennai is the headquarters of Southern Railway, a division of Indian Railway. The city is connected to other cities and towns of the state and the country. Chennai has a local electric train network to connect different points of the city. Trains operate from Egmore Junction to different parts of the state while interstate trains originate from Chennai Central Station.
Chennai has one of the four major international airports of India. Many major international airlines have regular direct flights to Chennai. Domestic airlines operate daily flights to all major cities of the country from the domestic terminal. Both air terminals are located at Meenambakkom. The city has representation of almost all airlines of the world.
Auto Rickshaw
As in most large cities throughout Asia, the streets of Chennai are filled with auto rickshaw taxis (known as tuk-tuks in Thailand). If you are just traveling short distances within the city, then this is probably your best option. You can go just about anywhere for between 20 to 80 ruppees (0.50 to 2 USD). You can flag one down almost anywhere, and the drivers are quite adept at weaving in and out of Chennai's congested streets. Just make sure that you negotiate the price beforehand, as they are keen to overcharge foreigners.
- Budget Travel
- Backpacking
Available for hire - 1 Plane in original condition
Flying into Chennai may not seem that unusual to everyone but alas India is India and to me it had it's own quirks.
Quirk number 1
The Air India planes are definitely not new. Infact they're still in original condition. The walls had that wallpaper like look on the interior. and the panelling was out of a bad 1970's set, so too the seating.
Sure it may have been fairly safe but alas there was no doubt the plane was mutton being dressed up at lamb.
Quirk 2
For a population of close to 1 billion they don't fly much. There was only one flight out of Vishakhapatnam to Chennai I knew of in the scheduling. And Vizag is a major centre. Go figure. Even with the rich poor divide I would have thought there'd be more flights. (apparently Vizag is getting a new airport which will boost flights etc)
Quirk 3
You can't just sit in the terminal are for a few hours before your flight. Even if you are to be a passenger. You can't even enter the terminal until 3 hours before your flight.
Having said this my suggestions are:
1. If you have a big gap between flying in and flying out then go shopping. Do not check into a hotel for just 6 hrs. It's just not worth it.
2. Check your luggage into the storage centre at the international airport over in the carpark. It costs only 50 rupee.
3. Know where you are going from the airport. If you say Spencer Centre then don't accept anything but the Spencer Centre.

Say What? Coping With Comments About Your Weight
How to deflect criticism and accept compliments
By Charlene Laino
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
It was the first time her mother had met her intended. The lights were low in the restaurant, music playing.
The waiter put down a basket of bread -- and her fiance pulled it beyond her arm's reach.
"My mother saw what a control freak he was," reports the now-50ish writer, who asked that her name not be revealed. "It took me longer to see it and break the engagement." (Incidentally, she weighed only 125 pounds, but her fiance had already made remarks about her little tummy.)
Whether they're wordless or spoken loud and clear, comments about weight and weight loss can sting -- even when they're given with the best intentions. Just about everyone who has struggled with weight has moments that stick in memory.
A few of the worst offenders we heard about:
