Millions have received this experience; have you?
The Facts
This experience was received by the Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), the Samaritans (Acts 8:15-17), and the Gentiles (Acts 10:44-48), plainly indicating that it was meant for all people, regardless of race, creed, color, or station in life. The new birth, consisting of water and Spirit, was never set forth as being optional or unessential. "Ye must be born again" are the words of Jesus in John 3:7. Until a person is born of the Spirit, he cannot be called a "son" of God.
The Privilege
The Evidence
Speaking with other tongues has been connected with Spirit baptism since the beginning of the church age. On the birthday of the New Testament church, the Day of Pentecost after Christ's ascension, approximately 120 disciples of Christ were inundated by the Spirit of God and "began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:1-4). The household of an Italian centurion received the same spiritual experience, which the Jewish Christian onlookers readily identified, "for they heard them speak with tongues" (Acts 10:44-48). In Acts 19:1-6, a group of John the Baptist's disciples heard about the Holy Ghost from the apostle Paul; they too were filled with the Spirit, "and they spake with tongues."
We cannot adequately express with our own words the ecstasy experienced in the baptism of the Spirit. Only through unaccustomed words of heavenly coherence can we utter what our souls would express.
There are perhaps several other reasons why God chose speaking in tongues as the initial evidence of this spiritual baptism. It is an objective, external evidence that recipients and onlookers can both identify with certainty (Acts 10:46). It is a uniform evidence—all the disciples on Pentecost, all the household of Cornelius, and all the believers in Ephesus spoke in tongues. "So is everyone that is born of the Spirit" are the words of Jesus in His description of this spiritual new birth (John 3:8). Speaking in tongues also indicates the complete control of the Spirit over our human wills. The tongue is the most unruly member of the body (James 3:8), and its being tamed by God is evidence of His complete control.
Further evidence of the Spirit's abiding presence in our lives is the fruit of the Spirit, which Paul mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
The Promise
The obvious answer to these questions is no. The apostle Peter made it very plain in his message on the Day of Pentecost that the gift of the Holy Ghost is for everyone: "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2:39). (See Luke 11:13.) Our faith, obedience, and submission to the Lord Jesus and His gospel qualify us for this most joyous of all experiences. (See Acts 5:32; 11:15-17.) As Isaiah 12:3 states, "With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."
Seek Him today, for "he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters" (Isaiah 55:1). This means you!

Why does heating bread (cinnamon buns) in a microwave give it a rubbery texture, when a regular oven doesn't? What are the chemical or structural changes?
It is simply that the microwave heats primarily the water molecules, causing the bread to steam. A normal oven heats all of the molecules of the bread, and by the time the water is heavily steaming you will have pulled it out of the oven.
I am not entirely sure about this, but my theory is based on the way microwaves interact with water. Microwaves are resonant with the rotational frequency of water's dipole, and works by using frequencies that are not quite resonant so that instead of causing rotations some of the energy is lost to friction which increases the vibrational frequencies of the water, which is a synonym for saying that it adds heat, but it also increases the rotational frequency of the water. When the entire water molecule is forced to rotate, the many of the critical hydrogen bonds that give bread its structure are likely broken resulting in a collapsing of the bread and more different hydrogen bonds form that are more stable and thus more rubbery.

The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Michael Crabtree have agreed to a six-year contract after several months of difficult negotiations.
Team spokesman Bob Lange confirmed the deal in a text message to The Associated Press early Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed.
The former Texas Tech star is the only draft pick who had yet to sign.
Crabtree could provide the game-breaking wide receiver threat the 49ers have been lacking, assuming he can quickly learn the offense after missing all of training camp. The 10th pick overall, he also sat out offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence at the team's training facility.
The 22-year-old Crabtree and his agent, Eugene Parker, sat down with three top 49ers officials Tuesday in an attempt to work through his contract impasse. Crabtree had balked at a longstanding offer of approximately five years and $20 million with a reported $16 million guaranteed, instead seeking money comparable to higher draft picks.
Coach Mike Singletary acknowledged last month that the 49ers discussed changing their offer to Crabtree, and team president Jed York said in mid-September that the team hoped for a face-to-face meeting with Crabtree but hadn't heard back from his representatives.
That meeting finally happened Tuesday at an undisclosed spot in the Bay Area away from the team's Santa Clara headquarters. Crabtree and Parker were joined by York, vice president of football operations Paraag Marathe and general manager Scot McCloughan.
It's not common for a player to join such contract talks.
Singletary, whose team leads the NFC West and at 3-1 is off to its best start since 2002, said Monday he would welcome Crabtree whenever he shows up to join the team.
The 49ers must sign Crabtree by Nov. 17 for him to remain eligible to play this season. The team would have a seven-week window before the 2010 draft to trade Crabtree if he did not sign.
Crabtree caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season at Texas Tech. He finished his college career with 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 touchdowns.
49ers Agree To 6-year Deal With Crabtree

Scouts Gather at ESF for Merit Badge Day
More than 250 boys work toward 16 badges
This Saturday, April 2, the University Hill will be home to more than its usual mix of students. More than 250 boys between the ages of 11 and 17 will enter the campus of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) to get a crash course in various skills, with a helping hand from members of Alpha Phi Omega's Phi Chapter.
Between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., these boys, representing troops from the Longhouse Council of the Boy Scouts of America, headquartered in Syracuse, as well as scouts from across upstate New York, will take courses toward achieving 16 different merit badges, including Citizenship in the Nation, Computers, Engineering, Oceanography and Electronics. The SUNY-ESF paper facilities will be engaged to teach the rarer Pulp and Paper (Papermaking) merit badge program as well.
"This is the 12th consecutive year APO has hosted Merit Badge Day," said Chapter President Meredith Nackley. "Phi Chapter goes into the surrounding community on a daily basis to do service projects. Merit Badge Day has always been a great way for us to extend our hand to local youth. We invite them up to the Hill for a taste of college and to teach them the skills they might not otherwise have had the opportunity to learn."
Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed service fraternity. It is the single most representative undergraduate intercollegiate organization in the United States. For more than 80 years, it has set the standard for college campus-based volunterrism. Phi Chapter was chartered on the campuses of ESF and SU in 1931.

Objective: To derive and validate a clinical prediction rule that identifies patients after myocardial infarction who have preserved left ventricular systolic function.
Design: Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study, with a derivation set to generate a clinical prediction rule and a validation set to test the prediction rule.
Setting: Urban tertiary care hospital.
Patients: 314 consecutive patients admitted with myocardial infarction who had one or more of the following tests to determine left ventricular ejection fraction: transthoracic echocardiography, contrast left ventriculography, or radionuclide ventriculography.
Measurements: Left ventricular ejection fractions were determined by transthoracic echocardiography, contrast left ventriculography, and gated blood pool scan.
Results: Multivariate analysis of patients in the derivation set yielded the following rule: The left ventricular ejection fraction is predicted to be 40% or more in patients who have 1) an interpretable electrocardiogram, 2) no previous Q-wave myocardial infraction, 3) no history of congestive heart failure, and 4) an index myocardial infarction that is not a Q-wave anterior infarction. In the derivation and the validation sets, the positive predictive value of the prediction rule was more than 0.98.
Conclusions: A simple clinical prediction rule using easily obtained historical and electrocardiographic data reliably identifies a substantial percentage of patients after myocardial infarction (40% in our hospital) who are likely to have preserved left ventricular systolic function. If validated in other patient populations, application of this prediction rule in clinical practice could result in a substantial decrease in the cost of treating uncomplicated myocardial infarction.
A "yes" response to any of the four questions places a patient into the "unpredictable LVEF" category. Four consecutive "no" responses suggest that a patient has a LVEF of 40% or more. CHF = congestive heart failure; LBBB = left bundle branch block; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; and MI = myocardial infarction.
Positive predictive values (95% CIs) are given on the extreme right. Negative predictive values are provided even though patients not meeting criteria for LVEF of 40% or more are actually assigned the label "unpredictable LVEF," not "LVEF less than 40%" (using this definition, a negative predictive value is less meaningful). LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; PVN = predictive value negative; and PVP = predictive value positive. *Assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, contrast left ventriculography, or radionuclide ventriculography. † 95% CI for the positive or negative predictive value.

Large patio dining Table. Using on sun porch as main dining/buffet table, replacing 2 tables. Great product.
Easy to assemble. Very durable table that was easy to assemble and looks great.
Excellent Product. Roomy and flat and sturdy for holding drinks and snacks. Attractive and matches glider bought three years ago. Use both on covered porch. Leave out on porch in winter.
A straightforward table design design. Perfect for an outdoor seating area where people may have drinks, food, books or paperwork they don't want to lay on the ground. All weather, functional but unobtrusive design matches with almost any companion pieces.
Sturdy and attractive. I was looking for a small table to put next to a chair or lounge on my patio. This table just filled the bill! I can leave it out in any kind of summer weather except when a hurricane is anticipated and then it is lightweight and easy to transport to a safer place. It is easy to clean (just hose it off). I am delighted with it!
nice. I bought this to match the existing patio pieces I'v had for over 15 yrs. very durable , plus you can't go wrong with mesh wrought iron
Quality Construction. The fact that this table is compact, means it works in situations in which space is limited. At the same time it is large enough for two people to place their drinks on and a small snack dish. The open mesh metal construction means that it will not collection water when it rains and any spilled drink will drain off quickly. It has some very nice construction details, such as plastic slider tips on the legs that make it easy to move the table around, and permits it to be used indoors without scratching the finish on the floor. [...] Although I thought the price was a bit high initially, when I received the item and saw the well thought out design and the attention to construction details, I knew that this domestically produced product was worth every cent I paid. I expect many years of reliable service from this side table.
It was exactly as pictured. I love it! The table matches my patio sofa. I did not have to assemble it.
Neat Stuff. Looks great on my front porch.
Good size Table. Looks so nice with spring base wrought iron chairs..large enough to hold several items as well as flower pot.
RECTANGULAR WROUGHT IRON COFFEE TABLE. Good construction and attractive
I would buy this product again & again. It looks good, is easy to clean, and holds up well. We have had the chairs for 8 years and they look new.
short legged. one leg was too short by a considerable amount. manufacturer should have tighter control on that spec point.
Attractive and Useful. I bought my first Woodard table twenty years ago and still use it - it has with stood Ohio winters and has very little rust. I needed a larger table and so after searching found this one. The only disappointment I have is that the finish scratches too easily. I bumped it with the chair and both the table and chair removed paint.
Perfect for the spot. I use this cute table on our small porch as the center piece with 4 wicker chairs. Size-wise it will hold a small decoration plus individual snacks. It's very study and quite attractive. I'm pleased with my purchase. [...]
Practical and attractive. I like the fact that the table comes fully assembled - no spending an hour reading instructions and putting the table together. I bought the table because the glass inserts on both of my previous tables shattered when the table was upended by high winds. The only con is that my wrought iron umbrella stand won't fit under the table, so I'll need to get a smaller stand.

Re: FICO Score Breakdown (i.e., "Credit Mix")
tb_purchasesonline wrote:
Overall, I'm very satisfied w/ my FICO score (817 as of today).
Based on existing literature, I know how the FICO score breaks down (i.e., 35% Payment History, 30% Amounts Owed, 15% Length of Credit History, 10% New Credit, 10% Types of Credit or "Other").
My question is pertaining the 10% of "Credit Mix". Based on my most recent credit report, I score "Excellent" on all categories but only "Fair" on the credit mix.
From my perspective (and I think it's somewhat reflected in my high score), I have a good credit mix. That is, I have the following type of credit account:
- 2 mortgage accounts (mortgage and home equity) -- approximately 90% of my debt
- 2 installment accounts (car loans) -- approximately 9% of my debt
- 10 credit cards (only 1 card with a balance) -- approximately 1% of my debt
Based on the information above, is there anything obvious that "sticks out" as to why the "credit mix" is considered only "fair" (again, in contrast to all else being excellent)?
Thank you,
FICO does score each of the categories in the percentages you mentioned above.
However, from your description of the report you're referring to, it sounds like you may have a non-FICO score because reports you get from myFICO.com do not grade your "Credit Mix" on a "Excellent, Fair, etc" basis. Those grades are used in other scoring model reports such as Vantage scores - but their score category wieghts (e.g. 10% for Types of Credit) may be different from the FICO model.
To get an accurate idea of what your FICO really is, you might consider getting your EQ or TU report from this site.

'The rocking, shocking, new wave of horror!'
Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf – original title: Howling II: Stirba – Werewolf Bitch – is a 1985 horror film directed by Philippe Mora, as a sequel to the 1981 film The Howling. Although Gary Brandner, author of The Howling novels, co-wrote the screenplay, the Howling II film is largely unrelated to his Howling II novel from 1979, though – like the book – it does introduce Eastern European customs and Romani into its werewolf mythology.
On July 14, 2015, Howling II is being released on Blu-ray in the US by Scream Factory. Special features are:
Audio Commentary with Director Philippe Mora
Audio Commentary with Composer Steve Parsons and Editor Charles Bornstein.
Leading Man – An Interview with Actor Reb Brown
Queen of the Werewolves – An Interview with Actress Sybil Danning
A Monkey Phase – Interviews with Special Make-Up Effects Artists Steve Johnson and Scott Wheeler

Plot teaser:
Ben White (Reb Brown) attends the funeral of his sister, journalist Karen White, the heroine of the previous film. Ben meets both Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe), one of Karen's colleagues, and Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee), a mysterious interloper who tells him Karen was a werewolf. Providing videotaped evidence of the transformation – and turning up to destroy Karen as her undead body rises from the grave – Crosscoe convinces Ben and Jenny to accompany him to Transylvania to battle Stirba, an immortal werewolf queen. Along the way, the trio encounter Mariana (Marsha Hunt), another lusty werewolf siren, and her minion Erle (Ferdy Mayne).
Arriving in the Balkans, Ben and company wander through an ethnic folk festival, unaware that Stirba is off in her nearby castle already plotting their downfall. Stirba seems to have witchcraft powers as well as being a werewolf, for she intones the Wiccan chant Eko Eko Azarak. Eventually, the adventurers do battle with Stirba in an assault that involves disguised dwarves, mutilated priests, and supernatural parasites…
'Howling II is just stupid, inept and downright sleazy. Here, the special effects (including a dwarf whose eyes pop out, and a priest who has a flying monster protrude from his mouth) are all pretty lousy as are the wolf make-ups and transformations (to make matters worse, anyone playing a beast ridiculously overacts). Another thing that plagues the film is the awfully inappropriate score and an even worse new wave/punk tune that's played throughout.' George R. Reis, DVD Drive-In
'Howling II is… an experience. It's a failure on almost every conceivable angle, its only bright spots being Christopher Lee's performance and Babel's theme song. However, so great is its failure that it's hilariously watchable (like Troll 2). That said, I'd only recommend it to bad movie enthusiasts and people whoreally need to see all the werewolf movies.'

The Jets have dropped their third straight preseason game in a nearly identical fashion: Offense struggles, defense shines and the Jets have yet to hit pay dirt.
New York headlines will bash the Jets offense, as they never did get to score that ever-so-elusive touchdown, but there were still some positives to take from this game.
Here are the biggest winners and losers from Sunday's game.

Scalability and Synchronization in IEEE 1394-Based Content-Creation Networks
An integrated services infrastructure capable of providing house sync is now within reach, making use of IEEE 1394. The key to building a scalable, synchronous network is a full understanding and utilization of the IEEE p1394.1 bridging standard. Means for coping with some scalability requirements via split bridges, with physically separated portals and interconnection by an implementation-dependent or proprietary technology, are discussed. A method for distributing network time for synchronization in 1394 is presented, using 1394 networks' inherent cycle-time distribution. Finally, manufacturers are asked to seriously consider implementing IEEE 1394 interfaces in new designs which are compliant to the relevant specifications from IEEE, IEC, 1394ta and AES. This equipment must be able to communicate across bridges, and thus be bridge-aware according to IEEE p1394.1.

Skip to comments.Fox News poll: Obama's approval hits new low (38%)
Posted on 03/05/2014 3:01:18 PM PST by Red in Blue PA

Correct. Foxnews polls have always leaned liberal. Must be bad for Zer0.
Thank you!
The Putin worship on this website (by about 30 or 40 posters) is getting ridiculous.
According to a black congresswomen, in the black community thats 83 percent, ya see the 38 percent is whities rating
Won't go lower with 38% of the population consisting of parasites and feral Affies.
That's a poll of Russians, not Freepers. haha. Sorry if that was misleading. It's a week old.
Oh for God sakes. It ain't Putin worship and the 5 or 6 people pushing this asinine meme need to get over it.
It's mocking the hell out of our own inept government. Broken down, all the shirtless Vlad on a bear stuff is contrasting how pussified our leaders are by comparison. That's it. No one here thinks he's a savior. No one thinks he is Michael the Archangel in a fur hat.
Between the posts like yours and the newb troll vanities one would think you want us to site here silently and let Zero and his Pubbie enablers just do their thing.
>> Without the media supporting this clown, he would be at 2%.
The MSM is the Country's greatest threat.

I just wish we had a President who cared about his.
I object to somebody posting a propaganda "poll" from a Russia Today - Russian Public Opinion Center supporting a tyrant such as Putin.
I'll post that objection all day long.
Yet you think it means I want folks to sit here silently and let Obama and the RINOs do their thing.
Your comment is utterly stupid.

Its a FOX NEWS poll. Will be dismissed as biased by the lame ass media.
Actually, Fox News' job approval numbers typically fall right in line with the Real Clear Politics job approval average, which computes its numbers based on the most recent data from all major polling and media outlets.
Also, until now, Fox News was one of the last remaining media outlets to have never before shown Obama's job approval down in the 30s.
What is utterly stupid is some guy coming to the furthest right site on the freaking internet and telling people they are Putin lovers simply because he lacks the cognitive skills God gave Pissant.
Putin cares about his country because his country has become a tyrannical country and he is the countries tyrant.
Obama initially hated his country but as he molds this country into a tyranny he will like it.
Both Putin and Obama have a lot in common. They hate our Constitution.
but yet there is 400+ elected idiots in DC that seem to approve of him. After all, he's still in office.

I don't think it has anything to do with "Putin worship", but more to do with just how despicable of a human being Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama has been to this country and to the many tens of millions of Americans who embrace the Constitution and traditional conservative values. It is simply not possible to be too hard on that evil, diabolical, lawless, reckless, and destructive Marxist.
Good point. The Obamanation was languishing with low rating going into November of 2012, albeit not as low as today, but the Demonrats still came up with a 52-53% plurality. That is truly rabbit out of hat.
Speaking of Fox, where's Megan Kelly?
I really want to find a time machine so I can go 500 years into the future. I want to see the history books from this time period (*assuming anyone is alive to write them...not a given) And see just how they view the flaming magnesium levels of stupidity we live around.
4 years of Zero, a destruction of the economy. Countries around the world cast into chaos. Healthcare destroyed...
And gay pushing, abortion funding, military loathing, conservative despising Mitt frickin' Romney was the result of the collected right wing wisdom.
Gee...can't figure why God didn't answer THAT prayer.
All together now . . . . . RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do. They have no honor nor love of country.
There, fixed it!
The republicans should introduce legislation that's an exact copy of all the changes and delays obama has made on obamacare. See if the dumbass liberals and rinos would vote against it.
</I>Will the Republicans do anything in response?</I>Do you see any contempt charges for Lois Learner today? IMHO there won't be any - Boner being blackmailed just like Roberts.
Meaningless poll IMO other than to deflate the man boys ego a bit. He has lost 15% points, most from the Marxist wing of the party whom are mad that anyone right of center haven't been thrown in Gulags yet.
If he was up for re-election today he would still have that vote faced with the Republican alternative.
No way Red,
Though obammy has done squat for your basic American negro, they still support the poser nearly 100 percent or about 11 percent of the country.
What I'd really like to know is, who are these morons who approve (other than racist blacks?)
Will the Republicans do anything in response?
No. Not most of them anyway.
The only thing to do is hunker down, pray for the best and expect the worst.
Oh my gosh, I want one of those.
Are there some on Cafe Press?
I think you're headed to some fleeting fame with that one Joshua. That was a good one!
Don't confuse Putin's actions for power, as concern for the welfare of the citizenry of Russia.
That picture makes me sick. That an incompetent, unaccomplished, self aggrandizing bastard son of a communist should have the temerity to sit at the head of this nation and recline, with his knee up, full of hubris and "I got this", even in the midst of utter failure of every one of his "policies", is mind boggling in it's shamefulness.
Hail Caesar and Boy-King! Resplendent in power, together with your courtiers! Your sycophants and enablers and true believers and liars!. Your lies are the most excellent of lies! Hail! Hail! Very King Obama, who commands even the seas to recede! Hail Obama! Untroubled by the lesson of Canute!
Awesome thanks!!
Nonsense. It's March. He's got more important things to think about: like March Madness and picking his teams.
"Will the Republicans do anything in response?"
Of course not. They're too busy pushing homosexual "marriage", amnesty for illegal alien criminals, and fighting for universal background checks to prevent American citizens from exercising their Right to Bear Arms. When they get tired of that, they continue to do absolutely nothing about Obamacareless.
That ought to be a poster.
Thank you !

The daily flow of economic data offers little insight into the direction of the economy.
Most government statistics are preliminary releases, destined to be revised in coming months so are certain to provide a poor picture even to someone with clear context on their meaning. The stock markets are worse.
Trying to predict the turns of the economy through stock prices is like trying to assess climate change with your head in a freezer or hot oven.

As if developers and those who buy their houses don't have enough costs and difficulties on their plate what with RMA problems, increasingly prohibitive District Plans, interest rate increases, a shortage of skilled builders and Building Act uncertainties ... now Auckland City Council will be whacking developers in their fiefdom with a new compulsory 'Development Contribution' on top of the rates, Consent fees and compulsory 'Reserves Contributions' already levied.
This is simply another grab for money by another council hungry for it, and empowered by the Local Government Act and the RMA to grab it. Read the council's spin here.
Councillor Vern Walsh, chairman of the council's get-our-hand-in-their-pockets commissariat, says "under the current financial contributions system, developers [already] contribute about $17m a year towards open space. He says the proposed development contributions policy would increase this by about $5m per year, as developers will also be asked to contribute to growth costs for the city's stormwater network and community facilities." [Italics mine.]
There's no 'asking' involved here, despite what Commissar Walsh wants to call it, and the way some compliant media have reported it.

TOO often the only concern of researchers working with prisoners is how best to use their subjects, with little regard for the institution, or for the inmate as a person.
This article is an attempt to help researchers to understand the effects of prison and imprisonment on a prisoner's capacity to enter into a research contract, and to aid in establishing criteria that will permit experimentation in prisons. Several crucial issues that are prerequisites for participation as an experimental subject will be explored.
The Special Problem of Informed Consent in Prison
Informed consent for a research subject requires that the experimental subject have and understand the information about the experiment, understand if a risk exists, and be in a position to evaluate what is an acceptable degree of risk. Information about the experiment can be provided by the researcher, but a judgment about an acceptable degree of risk requires contact

Woman jailed on burglary chargeAugust 06,2014Woman jailed on burglary charges
A Rutland woman was jailed Tuesday on $25,000 bail, charged with breaking into a home on Wheelerville Road in Mendon and stealing several items including two cases of beer.
Lynn M. Campeau, 37, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of burglary and a misdemeanor count of unlawful mischief.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $25,000 for Campeau, who remained in the Rutland jail Tuesday evening.
Vermont State Police arrested Campeau after receiving a call Monday from a woman who said she gave the woman a ride to a home on the remote dirt road Sunday to grab items Campeau said shed left at her mothers home there.
The woman told police Campeau directed her to a home on the road and then told her that her mother had forgotten to give her a key so she had to climb through a basement window to get in, according to court records.
Campeau eventually came out with several bags, and as they were driving away Campeau allegedly began laughing and confessed to her friend that her mother didnt own a camp.
Campeaus friend, who police say was worried that she had been an unwitting accomplice, told police about the incident and troopers spoke with the Wheelerville homes owner, who reported minor damage to his locks and two cases of beer missing.
Police say they later recovered the beer from Campeaus refrigerator.MORE IN This Just In

International Paper ( IP), a global paper and packaging company, markets and manufactures paper with operations located across North America, Europe, Latin America, Russia, Asia and North Africa. It operates in five segments: industrial packaging, printing papers, and consumer packaging, distribution, and forest products. As of Dec. 31, 2010, IP operated 20 pulp, paper and packaging mills, 144 converting and packaging plants, 19 recycling plants and three bag facilities. Of the 15 analysts covering the stock, 73% recommend a buy, while 13% rate a hold. Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect the stock to gain an average 15.1% to $36.4 in the upcoming 12 months. For the first quarter of 2011, the company swung to a net income of $342 million, or 78 cents per share, as compared to a net loss of $162 million, or 38 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Net sales surged to $6.4 billion from $5.8 billion earlier, mainly led by strong performance in the company's global mill operations. In fact, the company's sales of corrugated box packaging soared significantly during the quarter. In early April, the company acquired a majority stake in India's largest paper producer -- Andhra Paper Mills. Looking ahead, the company believes that the focus on improving its distribution business would improve its earnings by $140 million annually. Thereby, to achieve the target, International Paper plans to incur net cash costs of $100 million over the next three years for greater cost of capital return. Meanwhile, the company expects the additional cost of $50 million incurred in the second quarter would reduce earnings per share by 11 cents. However, it forecasts a strong second quarter with robust cash flow and earnings. Prev 3 of 7 Next

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Health Center
Wrist Care: Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
If you spend a lot of time doing activities that involve forceful or repetitive hand or wrist movement or use of vibrating equipment, you have an increased risk for carpal tunnel syndrome. These activities can include driving, working with small instruments, knitting, or using a sander. You can reduce your risk—and any hand pain or weakness you may already have—by taking a few simple steps.
- Many health conditions and diseases make you more likely to get carpal tunnel symptoms. But if you exercise, stay at a healthy weight, control other health conditions such as arthritis and diabetes, and avoid smoking, you can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Arranging your activity and work space using ergonomic guidelines can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Office ergonomics focuses on how a workstation is set up, including the placement of your desk, computer monitor, paperwork, chair, and associated tools, such as a computer keyboard and mouse. The same ideas can help you arrange your position for other daily activities.
- Proper body mechanics are key to preventing carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Evaluate your daily routine for activities that increase your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Take frequent breaks from activities to rest, stretch, change positions, or alternate with another activity.

The degradation of chlorinated organic compounds, such as PCE (tetrachloroethene), TCE (trichloroethene) and 1,1,1-TCA (1,1,1-trichloroethane), was conducted using nanosized FePd bimetallic particles. In order to enhance the reactivity of ZVI (zero valent iron) nanoparticles, surface modification of ZVI nanoparticles was performed using Pd and CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose). The surface modification was found to form CMC-stabilized FePd bimetallic nanoparticles (CMC-FePd). The average TCE removal efficiency by the CMC-FePd was significantly increased by approximately 85% compared to employing conventional ZVI nanoparticles ( approximately 15%). This increase in the TCE removal efficiency was most likely due to the increased amount of atomic hydrogen produced by the formation of CMC-FePd. For PCE and 1,1,1-TCA, the removal efficiencies by CMC-FePd were approximately 80% and 56%, respectively. For all three chlorinated organic compounds, the amount of Cl(-) ions in the aqueous phase during the degradation increased with increasing reaction time. This result suggests that the main degradation mechanism of the chlorinated compounds by CMC-FePd was reductive dechlorination.

Elementary Particle Interactions
The interactions of particles responsible for their scattering and transformations (decays and reactions). Because of interactions, an isolated particle may decay into other particles. Two particles passing near each other may transform, perhaps into the same particles but with changed momenta (elastic scattering) or into other particles (inelastic scattering). Interactions fall into three groups: strong, electromagnetic, and weak. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, 7th ed)

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:09.
Courses taught by Yanni Loukissas
03448: The Mixed-Reality City (DES 0344800)
Seminar Workshop - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Thursday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 522
Yanni Loukissas
Course Description
The contemporary city is constituted by multiple overlapping, intermixing realities articulated across built form and imagined space, individual experience and collective memory, embodied sensation and digital mediation. Often, these multiple realities are invisible or illegible, with certain narratives dominating particular environments. However, realities always leave traces, to be excavated and reconstructed. The Mixed-Reality City is an exploratory research seminar and workshop in which students pursue studies of urbanism-in-the-making through means and methods emerging in the digital arts and humanities, including: data narrative, digital ethnography, adversarial design, and critical technical practice. The course focuses in equal parts on unpacking discourses and developing interpretative digital artifacts.
This year, the course will examine the mixed-reality of natural and artificial environments, principally in the Northeastern United States. Projects will focus on historical and contemporary controversies over troubled natural or wild places and phenomena by exploring their associations and effects within cities. The class will pursue questions about the co-construction of the "natural" and the "artificial" as well as feral presences in cities: places and phenomena once domesticated, now returned to nature. Moreover, we will examine the relationship between natures and networks. What happens to technology in the wild? Can technology itself become feral?
We will read authors, such as Bruno Latour, Kevin Lynch, Michel DeCerteau, Leo Marx, Donna Haraway and William Cronon, who explain the mixed-reality of cities in their own ways. We will also engage the work of artists and designers who make a practice out of intervening into controversies: Natalie Jeremijenko, Sara Wylie, Kelly Dobson, Leanne Allison, Jeremy Mendes, Phoebe Sengers, and Carl DiSalivo. The Mixed-Reality City is a highly participatory class. Students will be expected to actively contribute to discussions and project critiques. At the beginning of the term there will be a rapid series of exercises in writing, mapping, and precedent analysis. Towards the end of the term, students will focus on lengthy final projects to interpret and intervene in mixed wild and constructed places in cities.
The course is open to all graduate students at Harvard and associated institutions. While there are no prerequisites, students are expected to bring basic skills in digital media. The Mixed-Reality City is hosted by metaLAB (at) Harvard, a research unit of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, focused on experiments in the arts and humanities.
09130: Design Learning Workshop (ADV 0913000)
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Tuesday Thursday 12:00 - 1:30 Gund 522
Yanni Loukissas
Course Description
As part of a long-term initiative at the Graduate School of Design to develop new spaces for design learning, this course will explore nascent technological possibilities for project-based education. The Design Learning Workshop will examine both historical and contemporary examples of educational technologies and environments for design. Moreover, the workshop will serve as a setting in which to develop and evaluate new ways of positioning design—both materially and pedagogically—across disciplines. The course is open to graduate-level students from departments across the GSD and the entire university who have an interest in the future of design learning.
The course will have three main components. During the first phase of the course, students will examine histories and theories of design education with a particular emphasis on past pedagogical experiments. During the second phase of the course, students will disperse throughout the university to observe contemporary design education in a variety of disciplinary settings: not only in architecture, landscape, and urban design, but also in engineering, the humanities, the sciences, music, education, and others. During the final and most significant phase of the course, students will work in collaboration with selected other courses to prototype new design-centric learning technologies and environments. Over the course of the semester, the course will introduce students to observation-based research methods as well as technologies and strategies for collaborative design work.
The Design Learning Workshop will make use of a dedicated classroom space at the GSD with movable furniture and a toolkit of advanced technologies including large-scale networked displays, gesture-based control systems, high-end audio and video recording devices, and extensive staging equipment. The course is expected to produce exhibit-worthy prototypes of experimental design learning technologies and environments. Basic aptitude with a variety of creative software applications is expected. Fabrication and technology development skills are welcome, but not required.

Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning and Design
Independent Study - 0 credits
Jana Cephas, Yanni Loukissas, Erika Naginski, Krzysztof Wodiczko
Course Description
The Final Project will consist of a theoretical/position component, and of a practical/experimental component. The scope of each of the two components will be determined according to the student's preference, and considering the specific character of the project in consultation with the area coordinator and the advisor. In exceptional cases the final project may be solely based on (expanded in scope and ambition) a theoretical component. A theoretical, written component is required for all final projects. The final project is equivalent to 8 units of courseworkTheoretical/Position component-A written document presenting the original contribution to, and original argument for your artistic/design/research project defended within the context of current discourses in relevant disciplinary fields. The theoretical argument must present the original methodology of the project and position it in relation to:-Relevant present day artistic and design practices and their specific methodologies-Relevant theoretical and critical discourses (including your elaborations on relevant "pro" and "contra" positions)-The relevant historical tradition Practical/Experimental componentThis component involves an original artistic/design project conceived, developed and presented as a public presentation, exhibition, installation, performance, action, and intervention in a physical or/and electronic space. The public presentation is a crucial part of the final project and is required. The Final Project's printed presentation as publishable document (that contains the theoretical argument and a graphic and textual presentation of the practical/experimental component)is also required.

A 10-year-old girl is accused of sex crimes against three female friends.
The alleged incidents came to light in April after the father of one victim told Canfield police that he was concerned that his daughter had been sexually assaulted by the girl, according to a police report.
Detectives began investigating the claim, and on April 20 the 10-year-old girl was booked into the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center on pending charges of gross sexual imposition and multiple counts of rape.
She spent that weekend in juvenile detention.
Two of the victims are 11 years old and one is 10 years old, according to the report.
Specific information about the alleged incidents haven't been released, and Canfield Police Chief Chuck Colucci said the juvenile court magistrate issued a gag order on the case, preventing anyone involved from discussing its details.
Colucci said the case remains under investigation by his department.
IT AIN'T WHAT IT SEEMS!!!! A young priest while preparing for Mass, decided to use his I POD for Gospel notes..some one at mass reported him to the Bishop. He was accused....It ain't what is seems, was his reply....later he discussed how Jesus had a difficult time in selecting his 12 apostles, because he knew some would deny him.and lie.....be carefull who you choose as your friends. was his comment......
Typical response from the accused ones side.Why is this just now being reported when the girl was placed in juvenile facility over a month ago?
Did this girl come from a home with two mommies?

Riga Travel Guide: 1,861 reviews and 5,374 photos
This will be my first trip to Latvia, the first of the Baltic States i visited! Since a few days there is a new route from Frankfurt-Hahn direct to Riga with Ryanair. Return Tickets sold at the unbelivable price from 27 EUR including taxes! So i planed this trip only for a stay overnight because i havnt so much time in the outgoing year and November isnt the best time to visit Riga. Next time i stay a little bit longer there. Pictures will be comming soon here.

I'm now able to do polls. Please vote. You'll find the poll on the right. Vote and post your comments here. Thanks.
Category Archives: Mets Thoughts
Please check out this site.
My good friend Joe Janish, who operates Mets Today, has a new site on baseball instruction entitled On Baseball. If you have kids, or are a kid, this is something you should bookmark.
All the pertinent baseball categories are listed, from hitting to pitching to base running, and there will be tips from major league players and various features.
I hope you'll take a look.
Blog update ….
The World Series is over, so as promised I'll be doing some things to improve the blog. I want to make it more visually appealing and also adding more in the terms of content.
As you see, today I was able to post a poll, of which there will be more of in the future. I'm also working on doing more writing and have more standard items, things you can expect to see on a regular basis.
I got some static during the World Series about writing on the Yankees. I want you to know during the Hot Stove season there might be posts that don't always feature the Mets, but I will try to get a Met angle into the story.
There will also be an increase in links to other blogs, as well as links to other sites. Once a new feature is added I'll have a post directing you to it.
I saw the numbers and they are improving. Considering I'm not affiliated with a media vehicle they are actually pretty decent. But, they can be better, which is why I won't be complacent and try to improve as much as I can.
There is a core of followers to the blog, some from when I was working at that paper. Your input is always valuable. If you have suggestions and don't want to post them, feel free to email me at email@example.com.
Thank you very much for your continued support.
Taking a look at the Mets free agents
Delgado, who missed most of the season with a hip injury, expects to play next season, but won't be re-signed by the Mets. Schneider could return to Washington.
Ironically, Schneider is a veteran back-up catcher, something the Mets need, but they want one who could hit.
Both are Class B free agents, meaning should they be offered arbitration and decline, then sign with somebody else, the Mets would be rewarded a draft pick from the Sandwich Round, which is between the first and second rounds. It's a moot point, because they won't be offered arbitration in fear they accept.
First base next year will be Daniel Murphy and a right-handed bat they sign on the cheap. It could be Fernando Tatis, who is also a free agent.
In case you were wondering ….
The market for Matt Holliday will be expensive. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has reported the Cardinals are discussing a six-year, $96-million contract. If that's the club's starting point, you know it will only end up higher, especially with Scott Boras being his agent.
Holliday's deal will end up north of $100 million, which I think is too rich for the Mets' blood. That's a lot of money, which could improve other areas of the team. As important as adding Holliday would be, the Mets could upgrade their pitching and add a lesser bat, which in the big picture would improve their situation.

The remains of a dinosaur believed to be the largest creature to have existed may have been unearthed in Argentina, according to palaeontologists.
The fossilised thigh bones indicate the animal stood 20m (65ft) tall and was 40m long. The dinosaur would have weighed 77 tonnes – seven tonnes heavier than the previous record holder (the Argentinosaurus) and as heavy as 14 African elephants.
A local farm worker discovered the remains in the desert near La Flecha, about 250km (135 miles) west of Trelew, Patagonia.
Scientists believe the as yet unnamed creature is a new species of titanosaur – an enormous herbivore dating

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has put all athletic programs at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas on probation through 2014 for "violations involving ineligible players."
The penalty took effect Monday at the Lawrence school, said NAIA spokeswoman Kay Hawes. No other information was provided on the association's website, and Hawes said specific information on violations and penalties is available only from institutions themselves.
University spokesman Stephen Prue declined to comment immediately Wednesday, saying the school was drafting a statement.
In May, the school announced investigations by the university and the Department of Education into claims that two student-athletes had falsified ACT scores dating back to 2008. It was not immediately clear if the NAIA's action was related to those allegations.
The investigations resulted in "official action on the employees and students involved" and the discovery that three other students' transcripts were manipulated, the university said in a news release at the time. Two employees involved no longer work at Haskell, the release said, and some games were to be forfeited. The release also noted that changes had been made to the schools' database and admission process.
Nedra Darling, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which overseas Haskell, didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday seeking comment. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Education said the agency was looking into the matter and couldn't immediately comment.
According to the NAIA handbook, the use of ineligible students leads to the forfeiture of "all contests in which the ineligible student participated." Athletes also lose at least one season of eligibility.
Institutions placed on probation also must submit a written response detailing the corrective measures they plan to take. Future violations can lead to the suspension of programs, a move that would bar them from postseason play, the handbook says.
Haskell is part of the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference. The conference's commissioner, Al Waller, said he knew few details about what happened.
"They've had some issues in the past with eligibility problems, so I think that's one of the reasons the NAIA came down pretty hard on them," he said.
He noted that many Haskell students come from schools on American Indian reservations.
"I know they have a lot of trouble getting information on student-athletes for eligibility purposes," he said. "We try to work with them as much as we can. We know it's not an easy situation."

When Palo Duro Dons safety Devin Johnson leaped to intercept a pass at the 2-yard line with about 45 seconds to play, the Dons could take a breath of the playoffs.
Johnson's interception denied Plainview an opportunity to kick a field goal that would have put the Bulldogs in the playoffs by virtue of the District 3-4A tiebreaker rule.
Palo Duro will make its second consecutive trip to the playoffs thanks to a 27-18 in a wild game that entertained the 4,000 fans in Dick Bivins Stadium.
"Plainview fought hard the whole ballgame," said Palo Duro coach Steve Parr. "But it was do or die and the Dons didn't die."
Had Palo Duro won by less than seven points, Plainview would have been in the playoffs.
Plainview had the ball at the Palo Duro 24-yard line on a second down with a minute to play and trailed 27-18. Bulldog quarterback Danny Garcia looked for Lane Tyler down the sideline.
Johnson's interception ended a game that saw both teams play with the passion of a playoff berth on the line.
Plainview's Taber Minner, who finished the season with more than 2,300 yards, rushed for 197 yards on 33 carries.
