The door slammed behind me as I stumbled in, shivering. In truth, it wasn't that cold, but the rain chilled me to the bone. I reached into my overcoat to retrieve my handkerchief in an attempt to dry my face off, only to find it was just as damp as me. Giving up on this exercise in futility, I decided to investigate my environs. This gave me great pause as I realized I had barged into this humble shack without permission completely on the assumption no one would live in such squalor. I feebly called out into the darkness, asking if anyone was home and apologized for my rude entry, explaining that the rain demanded it. I heard a slight rustle to my left when I saw a vaguely shiny-blue glint lower itself. Upon half a second of thought, I managed to place an item to the nebulous shape it made in the negative space that was the room I now inhabited.
It was a gun.
I told the owner of the shining revolver I meant no malice, and that he need not worry about me causing trouble any time soon. He simply laughed and said he wasn't in the least bit afraid of yours truly, and that my belated manners saved me from being set atop his mantle as a new trophy. I took this to be a joke and simmered down a little, taking my hand off my old .45 that was snugly concealed under my thick coat. The man plopped into a raggedy old chair opposite the door, and resumed what he had been doing prior to my barging in- light whittling. It looked as though he was carving out a small bear figurine from a smallish block of wood, but I didn't investigate too far into it.
"Not many folks come out this way, now'days…" the whittler said, more to himself than to me, "Can't say I don't enjoy that. See… See, we have this nice little community 'round here… We don't have no fights, no gamblin', no nothin'… It's too small a commune to have too much vice. Y'know what I'm getting at?"
For some reason or other, I was a little unsettled upon hearing this. Outside it appeared as though there were only one or two more wooden shacks nearby, but no more than that. To call that a commune seemed off, not to mention the amount of emphasis he put upon the word 'we.'
Something was up here.
"I'm not here to start no trouble, mister. I'm on a bit of a mission, and a long one at that… See, my brother got beat up awful bad a while back 'round these here woods. So bad he can't walk or talk no more… Real pity- he used to play baseball, don't you know. Mighty fine at it, too. Nowadays he's better off as a base than a basemen." Upon my uttering of this, every muscle of the whittler's seemed to tense visibly. I gathered I had found my first suspect.
"See, mister… I want to get back at those men in ways the police can't…" I continued, "In grand ways, ya dig? I want to get the man responsible for putting my brother in a chair and return the favor. Now then," and here I pulled my gun from its holster, "if you so happen to know something… Anything important to my cause, tell me. And I saw how you reacted when I told you about him so I know you know something. Don't tell me I'm wrong."
The man simply laughed as a dull, metallic noise rang through my head like I was a bell that had been rung. I had been hit from behind by some other, shadowy figure, and while I was unconscious I was dragged down to the basement to meet the commune the man had spoken of before. They all have broken legs and the trauma they experienced leaves most of them mute.
I now know what became of my brother. My greatest folly beyond coming to this Godforsaken shanty was not realizing my captor flinched in response to the word 'basemen,' as it was too close to 'basement' for his comfort. If anyone ever reads these memoirs I placed beneath these floorboards, please… Tell my family I'm sorry that I'm not coming home.

Prostate cancer is a serious issue for men, with one in six diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. However, it is especially important for African-American men, who have a one in five chance of being diagnosed, the highest incident rate for any group in the U.S.
Bone health critical issue for men with prostate cancer
A recent survey of 90 men showed that men with prostate cancer aren't thinking about a potentially serious health concern that nearly all patients with advanced disease will experience — bone problems.
"Prostate cancer is a health concern that all men should be aware of, including African-American men who are at higher risk for this disease," said Dr. Kris Gaston, urologist and clinical assistant professor of surgery/urology at the University of North Carolina. "I treat many of these men who are unaware of their risk of prostate cancer and are often diagnosed at later stages of the disease."
When an African-American man is diagnosed with prostate cancer, he often has a more advanced level of the disease. In fact, a study looking at how prostate cancer can spread to other parts of the body found that African-American men were more likely than Caucasian men to have widespread disease with pain in their bones and had lower physical activity status. These results may be because African-American men are less likely to get tested for prostate cancer.
However, there are ways for African-American men to protect themselves. It is important for men to look out for prostate cancer early by speaking with their physicians about the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Bone health is a critical, yet often underrecognized facet of prostate cancer.
In early stages of prostate cancer, a man may receive hormone therapy that can cause bone loss and weakening. When prostate cancer advances, the most common place for it to spread is to the bone.

Since Kenny Britt's injury i've been having trouble with my WR spots. My available options for 1 WR remaining this week are Robert Meachem, Deion Branch, or Michael Crabtree. My 2 other wide receivers i'm my starting lineup are Steve Smith(CAR) and Desean Jackson(Dez Bryant is on bye); Isaac Redmon is in my flexspot. I'm hesistant to start Robert Meachem becuase of Colston back into the lineup. I'm thinking of going with Crabtree but there are minor feet injuries that are plaguing him. Deion branch has been very quiet and may continue to be. Help! Any advice is much appreciated.
Also, on my TE issue, i picked up Jared Cook this week. I currently have Kellen Winslow in the starting up line. Should i keep him there or will Jared Cook continue to produce from Britt's absence and should i put him in the lineup?
Thank you

Philip who?
2:53pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – I did not even know the new foreign secretary's name until he was appointed.
Quarry danger
2:52pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – Last year, during a twomonth period of unusually warm weather, six people drowned in former quarry lakes across the UK.
Site issues
2:52pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – I note that a further Richmondshire District Council meeting to discuss the planning application for the housing development in Richmond on the site of the old workhouse at the corner of Cravengate and Victoria Road is to be held on July 29.
Unfair fines
2:52pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – If you thought your parking fine was unfair, you could be correct.
No more lycra
2:51pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – Enough is enough. While the Tour de France was a great day for an excuse to party, there was little choice with the road closures, and I wonder how different it would have been if the day had been pouring with rain?
Tour value?
2:50pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – Spending millions of pounds of public money on Le Tour was supposed to bring a great boost to the county.
Tour riposete
2:50pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – So Paul Lazenby says (D&S letters, July 11) that those who had the gall to object to and express our views on the Tour de France bike race are mealy-mouthed, are we?
County shame
2:50pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – As a Yorkshire woman presently exiled abroad you can imagine my pleasure at returning for a long-awaited holiday home this July. And, of course, the county lived up to all my expectations and was as beautiful and welcoming as ever.
Time for rethink
2:49pm Friday 25th July 2014
Sir, – How can the decision makers at County Hall maintain a "review after six months" policy when they must observe the day-by-day rapidly dying economy of Northallerton High Street? It is completely irresponsible to stick to principles when the blatant facts speak for themselves as a matter of great urgency.
Garden thanks
12:12pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – On behalf of the trustees of the Richmond Landscape Trust, I would like to thank all those who kindly opened their gardens for the recent Richmond Open Gardens.
Right, up to a point
12:11pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – While agreeing with the majority of Timothy Wood's comments on 'Forces Merger?' (D&S letters, July 11) there is one that I definitely disagree with him on, and that is that we would not need (even) one police and crime commissioner.
Add a cycle route
12:11pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – Surely now is an opportune time to include an integrated cycle path system in Northallerton's redevelopment masterplan. It should be possible to have a track from Brompton to the Lees Lane roundabout and a traverse from the new estate on Yafforth Road to the Forum.
Free advertising
12:10pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – I was sorry to see Joe Willis having a whinge (Dales Life, D&S, July 11) about TV coverage of the Tour de France. They may have got a few castles in the wrong place, but the commentary raved about the scenery, the enthusiasm of Yorkshire folk, the organisation of the whole affair including camping in the fields, promise of heather on the hills later in the year – in fact, we had a free five-hour advertisement for the joys of the Dales, watched worldwide. My friends in the US watched it twice, on two networks.
I value peace
12:10pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – I would like to address the letter written by Paul Lazenby (D&S, July 11), wherein he refers to a set of mealy-mouthed whingers.
One volunteer's tale
12:10pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – The Tour de France Grand Départ 2014 has gone now and those who were involved, either as spectators or part of the organisation will now be able to take stock of the impact of the cycle race and the interest that it generated.
A fantastic job
12:09pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – Let us not under-estimate the fantastic achievement of Welcome To Yorkshire (WTY) in bring the Tour de France to Yorkshire and showcasing the Dales and its stunning scenery to 190 countries around the world.
TdF memories
12:09pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – Now that the Tour of France has been and gone, the memory will last a lifetime and what a memorable occasion it turned out to be.
Supporting rail
12:08pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – In 2015, Scotland hopes to re-open the long-ripped-up Carlisle-Edinburgh railway.
Fracking impact
12:08pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – Was it deliberate irony or just a happy coincidence that your report on the honour for the wonderful hay meadows near Muker, in Swaledale (D&S, July 4) appeared on the same page as the piece about the Public Health England report?
Parking disaster
12:07pm Friday 18th July 2014
Sir, – In the late 1970s, Northallerton was a lively and thriving business community and retail premises were not easy to come by.
High stakes
3:30pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – Transparency is usually lacking where MPs from all parties are concerned. However, one can see straight through the reasons Messrs Brown and Darling are giving for backing the 'No' campaign for Scottish independence.
No secrecy
3:30pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – I read Mr Hoylake's letter (D&S, July 4) concerning a group put together to formulate ideas for the future of Thirsk Market Place and found myself agreeing with much he said.
Jobs lost
3:30pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – It is claimed the monstrous proposed development at Scotch Corner will create new jobs, but how many jobs will be lost in nearby high streets and market towns, which will inevitably suffer a loss of business?
Alternative job
3:29pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – On Saturday, I cycled to West Burton as a spectator of Le Tour in order to see the race as it sped down Bishopdale below Kidstones.
Forces merger?
3:29pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – The peleton had only just left Yorkshire when the press offices of the South, West and North Yorkshire Police began issuing statements proclaiming how well the three organisations had worked together to police this spectacular event and I have no doubt they have good cause to feel proud of their efforts.
Disappearing flag
3:28pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – Can someone out there please give me the real reason why the Union Jack on the Tour De France route at Grinton Moor was removed two days before the race, even though permission was given to create it.
Le Tour spirit
3:25pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – Now that it's all over, I wondered if all those who wrote to the D&S complaining about the inconvenience of the Tour de France coming to a road near them might realise what a set of mealymouthed whingers they sounded, especially when compared to how others entered into the spirit of a such a great sporting event taking place in our region?
Tour de Force
3:25pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – Many thanks to everyone who help make the Tour de France a huge success.
Le Tour triumph
3:24pm Friday 11th July 2014
Sir, – What a wonderful day it was! After all the months of reports and rumours – and it is difficult to know which were which – about roads being closed and potential long hikes/rides to reach the route, about heavy handed TdF sponsors/organisers' reps forbidding anything on the route that didn't come within their remit and possibly removing it, however innocent, about road repairs that may or may not be finished and then, in the week leading up to the Grand Depart, about a very nasty weather front that looked set to blight the whole weekend, come the day it was all magnificent – even the weather.
Food festival thanks
11:35am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – So many lovely people came to the third Homegrown Food Festival in Northallerton on Sunday and had a truly fantastic day out.
Thirsk trees process
11:35am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – The recent controversy in Thirsk concerning the destruction of the trees in the Market Place continues to rumble on. Shortly after the incident Cllr Gareth Dadd set up a so-called stakeholder/community group to examine possible options for the future of the pedestrian area next to the Clock Tower.
Birds walk memory
11:35am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Looking at the striking photo of a redshank taken by an Askrigg reader (D&S, June 27) brought back many memories of bird life.
Oldest line
11:34am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – I refer to your article (D&S, June 27) about the 130th anniversary of the funicular railway at Saltburn and your statement that it is thought to be the oldest funicular railway working in the UK today.
Attractive town hope
11:34am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, - Darlington has always been an attractive market town, praised many years ago in John Horsley's poem for its church spires and some green fields.
Town fuel prices
11:34am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Regarding JM Binns' letter (D&S, June 20) on the price of fuel in Northallerton, I agree completely with his views.
Cycle assault
11:33am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – On June 7 my wife, grandaughter and myself were on our way towards Deighton and we came across a group of cyclists. After two attempts to overtake them, one of them placed his bike in front of our car causing us to stop. He then came round to my side so I opened the window and he punched me in the face causing my nose to bleed and the onset of chest pains which was later found to be a heart attack.
Think first cyclists
11:33am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Looking at the Roadwise advert in last week's Le Tour supplement about cyclists I couldn't help thinking there should be one which reads "Think Motorist".
Event is left behind
11:32am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Driving through Swaledale yellow bicycles and buntings adorn every village. It's obvious anticipation of the forthcoming Tour de France is generating great excitement.
Wrong about vet
11:32am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Malcolm Rainforth (D&S, June 27) objected to Gary Verity suggesting some who do not like the Tour de France might be whingers.
No home winner
11:31am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – I live in the village of Great Ayton where there is a planning application pending for the construction of 113 houses on productive farm land. There is overwhelming opposition to this development within the village and both the parish and district councils have unanimously rejected the proposals.
Ideas for parking
11:31am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – To clarify a couple of points in your item about High Street parking charges in Northallerton (D&S, June 27): the reference to 429 people employed by members of Northallerton Retail & Business Forum relates to those employed by just six of our number – the actual figure is much higher. Secondly, there was a reference to charges of 80p an hour following an initial free 30 minutes. This is not the case and is a misconception commonly held.
Deserted streets
11:31am Friday 4th July 2014
Sir, – Whilst I am always against further government interference in our lives, I never thought that the new parking regulations in Northallerton would make that much difference. People could still use the car park at Tesco and there was adequate parking space available in the Hambleton car parks, so what was to change?
Bicycle outline
12:01pm Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – Your report of a recent Hawes and High Abbotside Parish Council meeting (D&S, June 2) referred to the land owner of Stags Fell refusing permission for the positioning of a bicycle outline on Stags Fell in relation to the Tour de France.
Parish's apology
12:00pm Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – On behalf of Hawes & High Abbotside Parish Council I wish to apologise to Richard Johnson, owner of Stags Fell over which the road to the Buttertubs Pass runs.
Darlington's covered market
11:58am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – We totally agree with Councillor Bill Stenson regarding Darlington's covered market.
Tour de France small price to pay for putting Yorkshire on map
11:56am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – I feel terribly sorry for your correspondent, N Taylor of Northallerton who seems to have such a negative view of life and especially the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in Yorkshire.
No pipe dream
11:55am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – So Gary Verity thinks those of us that don't like his pipe dream (bike race) are whingers. Well here is a whinge to put in your pipe and smoke.
Barn that Rocks for charity
11:51am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – I organise the annual Barn that Rocks charity concert near Patrick Brompton. I am very upset by the allegations in a letter last week which are both unfounded and mostly untrue.
Charity music night
11:49am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – I was sorry Mr Lewis of Bedale did not enjoy his night at the Barn Rock (D&S letters, June 20), but perhaps his expectations were a little high.
Cycling club still active to carry on aims of its founder
11:46am Friday 27th June 2014
Sir, – I really enjoyed Nicholas Rhea's grand tour of England as a 16-year-old cyclist (D&S Times, June 20).

Watch: the worst things that have happened to me at Cannes
Maurice Lévy, the chief executive of Publicis Groupe, Michael Roth, the chief executive of Interpublic, and Rémi Babinet, the chairman of BETC, tell Campaign about their worst Cannes experiences.
Losing, swimming in your underpants, being "stuck" with "boring" journalists and partying in the "gutter bar" until 3am, are just some of the worst things about Cannes Lions, according to adland figures in the video above.
Lévy explains that the worst thing that happens to him every year is that he is stuck in meetings and not able to enjoy the beach, while Roth says the time his visit to the "gutter bar" made it into the press was the lowest point.

I should add that 1875 was the year of the worst locust plague to hit the West. Little did residents know that this represented the peak and locusts swarms would diminish to nothing over the next few decades. Melvin watched the news and knew when the swarm was predicted to hit his area of Kansas. He instructed his daughter Allie to wrap their morning glory vines with a sheet. When the locusts had passed through, this was the only greenery left.
That fall they moved to Michigan.
I got the 1899 date from Melvin's obituary--it is when Melvin moved off his MI farm.

You're in for another powerful dispaly of God's changing power as you join Host Evangelist Wayne and this weeks Featured Guest Pastor Mike and Valerie Ortiz.
Micheal Ortiz : Grew up in ELA on the north side over in City Terrace and Boyle Heights. At the age of 19, he called out to God to remove him from the neighborhood and the life style of drug and alcohol addiction. Sensing death was knocking at the door of my life through either drugs or violence and never being in a gang but being around those that were. So within 3 months he moved from the neighborhood into a quiet peaceful area in South Montebello. Shortly after, he met my wife Valerie who at the time witnessed to me about being born again, that year was 1982
Valerie Ortiz : I was saved at a young age of 16, at the time I knew there was more to life then just partying and going out to night clubs, at age 12 I was already drinking and at age 14 going to night clubs so by the time I was 16 I was pretty tired, I remember telling God there has to be more to life then this, my girlfriends sister at the time invited me to Calvary Chapel in Downey, I was raised in Norwalk in a very nice area at the time, had everything I wanted, but still knew I needed something...never did drugs but drank quite a bit. so my girlfriends sister took me with her to Calvary Chapel and the 2nd time I went with her I went up to the altar and received the Lord

Cristo - "A (des)ilusão do tempo"/Christ - "The (dis)illusion of time"
in Christianity
"Uma ilusão. A distinção entre passado, presente e futuro não passa de uma firme e persistente ilusão." (Albert Einstein). A noção em senso comum de tempo é inerente ao ser humano, visto que todos somos, em princípio, capazes de reconhecer e ordenar a ocorrência dos eventos percebidos pelos nossos sentidos. Contudo a ciência evidenciou várias vezes que nossos sentidos e percepções são mestres em nos enganar. A exemplo, todos certamente já afirmaram, de forma a mais natural: "o tempo corre", "este ano passou depressa" ou mesmo "esta aula não acaba". Uma definição científica mais precisa faz-se certamente necessária, e com ela ver-se-á, entre outros, que o tempo, em sua acepção científica, não flui. O tempo simplesmente é. Wikipédia
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest , and arise from the dead , and Christ shall give thee light . Look therefore carefully how ye walk , not as unwise but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord . Ephesians 5:14-17
The common sense notion of time is inherent in human beings , because we are all , in principle, able to recognize and order the occurrence of events perceived by our senses. However science showed several times that our senses and perceptions are masters at deceiving us. Like all certainly have said , in the most natural way: "time flies ", " this year passed quickly " or even " this class is not over."A scientific definition more precise it is certainly necessary, and it will be seen, among others, that time in its scientific sense, does not flow. Time just is. Source: Wikipedia

Prolific A-League striker Shane Smeltz finally opened his account for the 2012-13 season but in-form All Whites teammate Jeremy Brockie deservedly salvaged a point for the Wellington Phoenix as an entertaining clash with Perth Glory ended in a 1-1 stalemate at nib Stadium last night.
Smeltz, named in the starting line-up for just the second time this season due to injury, international duty and a rushed trip to New Zealand last week for personal reasons, was fairly anonymous until he chose his moment perfectly just after the hour mark when he controlled a nod on by Billy Mehmet and swept the ball past Andrew Durante and a motionless Mark Paston.
Glory coach Ian Ferguson opted to employ Mehmet and Smeltz in the starting line-up for the first time although he stuck to his philosophy of not playing the duo up front in tandem, preferring Mehmet for the out-and-out striker's role.
There have been suggestions Smeltz might have been out of favour with the boss but the Scotsman's fist pump as the goal nestled in the net indicated relations, if strained, are likely to be on the improve.
The competition's all-time leading scorer's 61st career goal could have been a demoralising blow for the Phoenix but Brockie, who had drifted out of the eighth round clash after being prominent in the first half, produced a classy finish in the 72nd minute to allow the New Zealanders to provisionally hold on to seventh spot.
Brockie, a focal point of the Phoenix attack, controlled a through ball nicely, outpaced Lucas Pantelis and then coolly slotted the ball past advancing goalkeeper Danny Vukovic to record his fifth goal in four games.
Neither side had a clear cut opportunity after the Kiwis got on the score sheet to bank all three points although Glory defender Josh Risdon was unlucky not to open the scoring in the 54th minute with his maiden A-League goal when a long range right foot shot beat Paston only to cannon off the post.
Although they produced the first scoreless opening half of the day's tripleheader, there was plenty of enterprise from both sides as inclement weather cleared just before kick-off.
The Phoenix had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the ninth minute but Louis Fenton could only make soft contact with a superb cross swung on from the right by Brockie and Vukovic smothered with ease.
Smeltz and Mehmet illustrated the danger they posed long before the 31-year-old's goal when they combined to almost ease the anxiety of fans concerned by last weekend's shock 1-0 home loss to the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Mehmet jinked past two defenders on the edge of the box and unleashed a decent strike that Paston parried to Smeltz who could only head wide.
The All Whites goalkeeper then made the save of the match in the 22nd minute when his legs deflected a goal-bound glancing header by Travis Dodd.
Brockie's equaliser made amends for a couple of opportunities in the first which were squandered when his touch and finishing deserted him when in potentially scoring positions.
He volleyed a Tony Lochhead cross wide in the 16th minute and five minutes before the interval, with time on his side, he trapped a cross inside the box but his attempt to curl the ball into the right hand corner flew wide.
Former Phoenix midfielder Nick Ward might also have done better with a couple of half chances and despite an industrious shift he was replaced on the hour by Chris Harold as Ian Ferguson tried to exploit the visitors by injecting pace from his bench.
Instead it was the wily veteran Smeltz, playing just his third game of the campaign, who delivered the deadlock breaker 60 seconds later.
While Brockie gained the plaudits, Paul Ifill typically supplied teasing crosses from the right hand flank and also did some great defensive work to track back when the Glory swept downfield.
He looked to pick up a leg injury when clearing one of the Glory's nine corners but battled on until he was replaced by Belgian import Stein Huysegems in the 84th minute.
While the clash was willing rather than spiteful, referee Strebre Delovski still booked five players.
Vince Lia, Ben Sigmund and Andrew Durante picked up yellows for cynical challenges while Liam Miller and Glory captain Jacob Burns were cautioned in the second half - Burns' fifth card of the season means he will miss Friday's visit to the Melbourne Victory.
After playing four of their last five games away the Phoenix will be happy to return home and host the Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday.
Perth Glory 1 (Shane Smeltz 61) Wellington Phoenix 1 (Jeremy Brockie 72) Halftime: 0-0

An ex-police officer who admitted to stealing and selling police-issued guns to fund a drug habit is sentenced to more than 15 years behind bars.
Nicholas Mina, who served with the New York City Police Department for more than three years, pleaded guilty last month to several charges, including grand larceny, criminal sale of a firearm and conspiracy.
Prosecutors said Mina stole guns from lockers at the 9th Precinct station house in the East Village before his arrest in July.
In his guilty plea, Mina said he sold the guns to a drug dealer to help pay for a painkiller addiction.
The NYPD's Firearms Investigation Unit monitored those sales, tracing them back to Mina.
Two other men, Ivan Chavez and Marcos Echevarria, pleaded guilty in September to buying the guns and reselling them on the black market.
Two other suspects are awaiting trial for their alleged roles in the trafficking scheme.
Mina will face five years of supervision once he's released.

DEAR MARGO: My niece had always loved dolls as a little girl. I adore my niece, and a few years ago, when she was 8 or 9, I gave her two handmade dolls for her birthday.
I put a lot of time, energy, money and love into those dolls. A few weeks ago, her mother called to tell me they were having a garage sale, and that "Marilyn" had outgrown the dolls and they were going in the sale. My S-I-L (my niece's mother) thought I might want the dolls back.
Although I was a little (OK, a lot) hurt that my niece didn't value the dolls enough to keep them, I was, nevertheless, grateful that I was given the opportunity to get them back instead of having them sold to strangers.
However, when I went to pick up the dolls, I was told that since they'd easily bring $20 apiece in the garage sale, I should pay fair market value. (I paid at least $100 just for materials, but that isn't the point.)
I forked over the $40 to get the dolls back, but I can't get over this resentment. Please help me make sense of this. I don't like this feeling I'm left with. — Raggedy Aunt
DEAR RAG: Two words come to mind: chintzy and insensitive. The mother, if not the kid, was kinda dense to ignore your feelings and the fact that the dolls were a labor of love. To nickel and dime a relative is pretty cheap, and I hope she got a lot for the extra 40 bucks she made.
One thing she lost was the good feeling between you, and should she notice the relationship is not what it once was, I would be open with her as to the reason. — Margo, disenchantedly

The first load of school supplies, collected by Farmington PTOs for children of Sandy Hook Elementary School, was packed and is on its way to Newtown Wednesday afternoon. A drive was quickly pulled together just two days before to help the students, displaced by the devastating school shooting, settle into a vacant middle school in Monroe where the students will return to school.
The drive was organized by East Farms parent Amanda Sirica and PTO president Carri Roux.
According to PTO leaders, there has been a great response from the Farmington schools. A commercial van was packed to the top with more than 60 boxes of new school supplies and Sirica and her husband Rob are transporting the items.
The PTOs will continue to collect supplies through Thursday at noon, with plans to make a second trip to Newtown Friday morning. Because some items were very popular and others not as much so, the PTOs are suggesting anyone who would like to help donate gift cards so teachers and staff from Newtown can fill in the gaps of what they need.
Collection boxes are available at each school and at the Farmington Town Hall.

Magnetic Stimulation Improves Parkinson's Symptoms
Tuesday June 17, 2014
Daniel M. Keller, PhD
Medscape - In what researchers describe as the first randomized trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using an H-coil in Parkinson's disease (PD) added on to drug therapy, active stimulation was superior to sham stimulation.
Results suggest improvements in timed tests of motor function, activities of daily living, and quality of life by using active stimulation. Earlier studies with other transcranial magnetic stimulation coils in PD have yielded mixed results, the authors note.
More traditional circular or figure-8 coils produce small and superficial areas of stimulation reaching a depth of 2 to 3 cm. In contrast, the H-coil design results in 3-dimensional summation of magnetic fields, giving a wider area of stimulation and penetrating 5 to 7 cm deep.
Mario Fichera, MD, from the Institute of Experimental Neurology and the neurology department of the Scientific Institute Hospital San Raffaele in Milan, Italy, presented study results here at the 24th Meeting of the European Neurological Society (ENS).
Cortical Dysfunction
Dr. Fichera explained that in PD, besides dysfunction in deep brain structures (including the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra), there is also cortical dysfunction, specifically in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the M1 motor cortex area.
He said rTMS can have long-lasting effects, with frequencies greater than 5 Hz being excitatory and those less than 1 Hz being inhibitory.
The study was double-blind, randomized, and placebo (sham stimulation) controlled. The 2 targets of stimulation were M1 contralateral to the more affected side and the prefrontal (PF) cortex bilaterally.
Participants were younger than age 80 years and had moderate PD so that they were still able to walk (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 to 4). They had been receiving stable antiparkinsonian and antidepressive therapy for at least 2 months before study entry and had no other major comorbidity.
Treatment consisted of rTMS given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Stimulation of M1 was at 90% of the resting motor threshold at 10 Hz for 840 pulses. PF stimulation occurred at 100% of the resting motor threshold at 10 Hz for 840 pulses.
The 60 patients were randomly assigned equally into 3 groups. Group 1 received M1 real and PF real stimulation (M1/PF). Group 2 received M1 real and PF sham (M1/sham). Group 3 received placebo treatments (sham/sham). The groups did not significantly differ in age (mean age, 60.4 to 64.2 years), sex distribution (more men than women), disease duration (6 to 8 years), levodopa equivalent daily doses (0.6 to 0.7 g), Hoehn and Yahr stage (stage 2), or disease characteristics.
The primary outcome measures were safety and clinical improvement off drug after the last treatment session vs baseline (T0), expressed as percentage reduction on the Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS OFF) part III. Besides the 3 groups, analysis included a merged group consisting of the M1/PF and M1/sham groups combined.
"We showed that the efficacy of the stimulation was better than the sham stimulation," Dr. Fichera told the audience. Both the M1/PF and the M1/sham groups improved significantly compared with the sham group, and there was no significant difference between these 2 active stimulation groups.
Table. Efficacy of rTMS in Reduction of PD Motor Symptoms
|Study Group
|End vs T0 (% Reduction on MDS-UPDRS OFF)
|P Value vs Sham
|Merged (M1/PF + M1/sham)
|27 ± 16
|29 ± 15
|26 ± 17
|15 ± 17
Dr. Fichera said the merged stimulation group also showed significant improvement on UPDRS part III OFF lateralized subscores for the worse (P = .042) and better (P = .012) sides as well as for tremor over the sham group (P = .011).
There were also improvements on the worse side on the timed tests for hand tapping (P = .041), foot tapping (P = .012), and the 9-hole peg test (P = .003).
Safety was excellent. No serious adverse events or study dropouts occurred, and no adverse effects developed in the placebo group. One patient each experienced activation of ipsilateral peripheral nerve VII during stimulation, requiring a reduction in stimulation intensity of 2% to 3%. Headache in 1 patient at the end of an rTMS session resolved with acetaminophen.
A thoracic symptom occurred once during stimulation and 1 patient had dizziness lasting less than 30 minutes at the end of a session. Two patients in the M1/PF group and 1 in the M1/sham group experienced dyskinesias after the final rTMS session.
Dr. Fichera said other beneficial effects were significant improvements in quality of life, as assessed at the final visit in the merged (P = .014), M1/PF (P = .023), and M1/sham (P = .046) groups vs the sham control. In addition, 1 patient in the M1/PF group had an improvement in blood pressure control, and another in the same group reported an improvement in erectile function.
He advised that a phase 3 trial should be conducted to validate the efficacy seen in this trial and to gauge the duration of the effects.
Empirical Evidence
Session chair Josep Valls-Solé, MD, PhD, a neurologist and neurophysiologist at the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, Spain, commented to Medscape Medical News, "Evidence-based medicine has not reached yet noninvasive brain stimulation in a way that we are certain. You can say the same with several drugs. But empirically, this works. Now we have to test it with evidence-based medicine."
He noted that the new H-coil is not widely available, so there are not many published or ongoing studies. He praised Dr. Fichera and his group for doing this study and showing that the coil may have efficacy in some PD outcomes, and he added, possibly in some other disorders.
"I think that we have to promote a bit this kind of treatment that is noninvasive and nonpharmacological—so, some hope that we are escaping from toxicity from drugs," Dr. Valls-Solé advised.
He said it is still early and therefore it is unknown what the differences are in the effects of the H-coil compared with other ones. One advantage may be that the H-coil does not heat up. "It perhaps brings up the possibility of sham better than other coils," he suggested.
But the overall cost of this kind of treatment for the personnel to apply it repeatedly and for the equipment itself may limit its availability.
In addition, evidence is only starting to accumulate on its efficacy and the durability of the effect. Retreatment on a regular basis will probably be needed, but Dr. Valls-Solé said that, nonetheless, patients may feel better for a "couple of weeks" after being treated.
The study did not receive any commercial support. Dr. Fichera and Dr. Valls-Solé have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

The Green Belt Movement is a non-governmental organization based in Nairobi, Kenya. Launched in 1977 by Wangari Maathai, it allowed her to invest in two of her favorite concerns: the struggle of Kenyan women, especially in rural areas; and the progressive degradation of the environment.
The Green Belt Movement gets rural women to develop nurseries using seeds gathered in local forests (particularly indigenous trees such as fig, baobab, blue gum, acacia). Trees subsequently planted would ensure a supply of fire wood, would protect water sources and crops, and reduce deforestation and desertification. The movement's goal is to reforest and restore natural habitat.
The Green Belt Movement was the start of one of the most successful environmental programs in Africa. In the first 15 years of the program, over 12 million trees were planted, a thousand nurseries were set up, over 90,000 women recruited, and had an annual budget of US$5 million. By 2000 they had organized the planting of over 30 million trees.

Max 6.1 Crashing with Windows 8
I recently purchased Max 6.1. Anytime I try to open a patch that was created on a different computer, Windows crashes and I get a blue screen with the obnoxious emoticon. I tried updating to Windows 8.1, but it didn't help. I've been through the forum and tried to disable different applications on startup, but that didn't help.
Have you tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Max?
Yes, I'm running a 64-bit right now but I've tried both.
I was wondering if anyone has any extra knowledge about this? I'm still having issues with it. Today, I tried just creating a new patcher in the 64-bit and it crashed Windows. I've since switched to the 32-bit. I'm no longer having issues trying to create a new patcher, but I still can't open any previously created patch.
Wow, that's dramatic for an app to crash Windows. It might be driver related…Max using a driver. LIke your video or audio driver. Do you have current drivers for video and audio and do they fully function?
When windows crashes with the blue screen, it usually has diagnostic information at the bottom of the screen. I recommend you write that down. Also, when Windows reboot, there will be more diagnostics available. In the windows tray is the action center. Expand Maintenance. View Reliability History. You should see red problems on the right column (current day). Click on the day. At the bottom will now be diagnostic info. Look at it to see if you can discern what is crashing. Also doubleclick on the line of the crash itself and lots more diagnostics will appear. Sometimes in this detail you can see what caused the crash. It might list Max as the EXE but in another place will list what Max was using that actually caused the crash.
More ideas http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2013/041513-windows8-crash-268274.html
i am experiencing this, too. but only on windows 8.1 (i have another computer with win7 where no problems occur) . drivers are up to date
btw, 32 and 64 bit max do crash here… so hopefully there can be a solution.
I think, for now, I've fixed it. I had heard that it could be issues with my video driver, but it wasn't which left me perplexed. Under diablodale's suggestion, I checked my audio driver. I think that was the problem. I had been receiving an error since I updated to Windows 8.1 regarding my Dolby Audio Driver. It seems to be working for the time being. I'm using a Lenovo laptop and apparently this was a common issue with the 8.1 update. My recommendation would be to check your drivers.
yes, after using a nvidia beta driver it works… cool
thought so. now after another crash i cant start it up anymore. i get a message telling me a kernel mode debugger has been detected. what the heck is that??? i have no such thing…
No idea, but now my computer is crashing with certain patches. Maybe because it's large? Maybe because I'm pulling it off of dropbox? Maybe because it was created in a previous version?

Turkey strikes back at Syria after mortar kills five
Reuters, apologists for murder and terrorism: change your title, it was a suicide attack that killed innocent Syrians, do not try to disguise it.
Why Reuters keep calling them activists, they are terrorists, this was an act of terrorism.
I thought Assad would have had Aleppo well under control by now- looks like he may not be winning the mother of all battles then.
@ mcanterel
I don't favor either the Syrian regime or the rebels. There are significant elements of oppression on both sides. I support the best interest of the Syrian people. Assad continues to drag Syria into further bloodshed and destruction. His foolishness is beyond comprehension. Supposedly the Syrian army is one of the strongest in the region yet they can't even secure their own country. And this will continue to get worse. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Assad must be insane. He had many opportunities to allow for reform in his country and he blew it. Now he's taken his country past the point of no return. Assad must do something different and bold. He must reach out to the international community with real government reforms and request help to secure Syria. Otherwise the county will be one big pool of blood and ruble. Eventually Assad will be in the pool of blood too.
Settle down. The article said that the number of people killed was REPORTED by activists. It did not refer to the terrorists/rebels/freedom fighters/murderers as activists.
So when they blow our Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq, and when they blow innocent people in Tel Aviv, we call them terrorists. But when they blow themselves up among Syrians, they are activists!!
I wonder, though, how mucg Qatar has been paying Reuters and these journalists to come up with such garbage.
It's hard to understand who is fighting who in this war. But, in the end the syrian people are the ones that will continue to suffer and die. It seems to me that assad has no choice but to flee. His days are numbered, what follows is anyone's guess.
No one is immune against such attacks, and it has been proven in the past.
Just clean up the scum, help Assad now.
Assad and his followers are Scumbags and i would never defend them, BUT lets be fair about this. Turkey is helping the rebels with a safe zone (as well as refugees too, but still). Risk like this should be expected. I can easily see Syrian soilder chasing rebels/NSA over the border, Sweating and exhuasted, deploying a motar, Firing, and accidently missing. I really don't want to jump on Syria's case (about this incident) until i can see a map with border, the rebels position and how close they were to the town (providing it was even close).
Hey Slammy, you know any extra info on this?
@openviews, I wish Assad would do that too (quickest way to end bloodshed).
Sounds like the Syrian rebels have a new weapon. Rather than shoot at the government, shoot at Turkey and Turkey will shoot at the government. That actually is way smarter.
@ mcanterel
A suicide mortar attack!? Really? They have mortars that fire people now? Surprised I've never heard of this before, what's your source?
Not really AlkalineState- if an Assad truck has a backfiring exhaust near that border then the Turkish army will know all about it from their equipment- they have excellent identification and tracking of artillery rounds etc-most modern armies have such equipment- used for counterbattery fire ( Assad may have skimped on this more modern equipment).
Turkey strikes back at Syria after mortar kills five
Well here we go. Possibly the spark that started a much bigger fire in the middle East caldron.
Dear Mr. Assad:
Please say hello to Sadam and Col. Qudaffi when you meet them again~Ciao.
Another Gleiwitz incident in making.
The Turkish citizens killed by the mortar rounds were a woman and her children. Almost certainly the work of a jihadist. That tactic has its shortcomings.
Seems pretty likely that the group that would benefit from Turkey going in to Syria is the group who sent the mortar into Turkey.
There is the problem for Turkey: the guys they support are likely lobbing mortars at them. (Maybe Turkey could learn something from America's early support of Al Queda against the Russians.)
Turkey's support for insurgents in Syria appears about as stupid as it gets. How to turn your friends into enemies, and right next door! Add Iraq and Iran to the enemy list. I'm going to be surprised if this Erdogan move doesn't come back to bite him bad. Seems at least as bad a George Bush, Jr.
Well folks, we all know where this is headed, don't we?
This is another great example of Obama's leadership and keeping us out of wars that the NeoCons would have had us in a year ago.
Why would people assume that the mortar was fired by Syrian Government forces without investigating? Given the foreign hands in Syria, it could have been any of 8 or 9 foreign countries.
We send the FBI all over the globe these days. Why not send them to Syria? Everything happening in that country smells fishy.
Syria attacks Turkey, Turkey attacks Syria, NATO convenes and defends Turkey, Russia comes online to support Assad, China sees the Western influence as too much and rattles sabres in N. Korea, China Sea and Afghanistan, US commits to Turkey and Israel troops and weapons, Iran/China do the same for Syria,Lebanon and any other hostile/anti-Western nations, Egypt can't survive without taking sides so they go to the Arab side and take N.Africa with them, rioting and fighting break out all across Europe when a cartoon of Mohammed is dragged out of a 5 year old trash bin a used to re-inflame the Muslim masses, Iran uses this as an excuse to Jihad the West/Europe calling their suppression of the Muslim riots and the beginning of the Holy War they so desperately need/want and attacks Israel in support of Syria/Muslims, Russia joins when retaliatory strikes occur, Iran invades Turkey, we bomb Iran, China supports anyone that isn't American, and now we have the story of how it ends.
79 days until the Mayans are proved correct.
Send the FBI??? What ground and why? We can even geth them to the scence of the crime in Libya
Any Americans killed yet

Although there are endless touted benefits to ad extensions, here is a look why they may not be all they're cracked up to be, with 11 detailed reasons.
OK, "hate" is a strong word. If I were appropriately British, I'd probably soften this to "Why Ad Extensions Are Sometimes Found Wanting." Being Canadian, all I can do right now is say, "Sorry, I got you to click even though I feel toward ad extensions an emotion a mere 10 percent short of hatred."
Like a "Get Rich With Real Estate Seminar"
Like those seminars that tell you how to spend all your time buying undervalued homes and flipping them or renting them out, there are endless touted benefits to ad extensions, and there is an eerie consensus as to how awesome they are.
Back in the day, people had the time or inclination to track down a Google scientist or outside heat-map expert to talk about elements of the search engine user experience. Now, it seems, we're reduced to shifty statements like my friend Melissa Mackey's point six: "One really cool thing about sitelinks is that most searchers can't tell the difference between PPC sitelinks and organic sitelinks." Really?
I've been guilty of similar myself, undoubtedly.
Evolution in SERP Layouts…Fueled by Big Data
I understand, in part, why ad extensions emerged. It's a slightly different line of reasoning from why multifaceted search results pages replaced the ol' 10 blue links, but it runs in parallel. On the organic side, 10 blue links wasn't only boring, it didn't respond well to the fact that users might be searching for different information classes. If the intent suggests they're probably searching for news, a video, or an article by a trusted author, juggle the results to put the right information classes on the page, in a visually interesting layout.
For now, the ad space does only a mediocre job of sorting intent into commercial intent classes. But we are witnessing some major attempts to do just that, such as the ascent of Product Listing Ads (PLAs).
Extensions related to local businesses, too, offer a powerful way for Google and advertisers to work together to serve up more appropriate page content in light of a user's probable intent. And when it comes to click-to-call extensions, Google has created a powerful tool to help us better attribute call-generated leads.
Ad extension innovation is facilitated by Big Data. The genius of today's SERP page layouts is partly in the ability of the search engines to learn conclusively about user preferences for different ways of displaying relevant listings by testing new ideas against a massive global user base. This has led to what feels like a rapid series of innovations in the SERP space. The search engines may actually be throttling their pace of innovation, just so our innately conservative heads won't explode.
Despite the iterative goodness, as a general trend, it feels like the motivation behind extensions is twofold: (a) benefitting Google and advertisers alike via a Putin-like pretext for expanding our borders, i.e. grabbing more screen real estate in relation to less lucrative organic search click-throughs; (b) giving deserving businesses various means to stand out from the pack.
Great! But is it possible that there is ever a dark side to something that makes an unholy alliance of major stakeholders more money in the short term? Let's see.

A series of polyurethane (PU)/monmorillonite (MMT) or nylon 66/MMT nanocomposite were prepared by melt-compounding method to take a close look at the MMT dispersion in the nanocomposite depending on the polymer matrix and the compatibilizer content. Cloisite 30B, the brand name, was selected as MMT, because surface was covered with methyl tallow bis-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium group and the reduced surface hydrophilicityity rendered MMT dispersed better in polymer matrix compared to bare MMT. MMT dispersion, due to the difference in hydrophilicity and the fondness of similar hydrophilicity, was better in nylon than PU. Maximum stress and tensile modulus could be increased by the control of MMT content for both nylon and PU, and the compatibilizer, when added at the same MMT content, also could increase the tensile properties of both nylon and PU. It was found from this investigation that the good dispersion of MMT in polymer matrix can improve the mechanical properties of nanocomposite.

It is also one of the most incredible and wonderful ways to bond with your baby.
The lyrics are included, as this is not designed to be a solitary exercise, but one to strengthen the tie between parents and baby.
