101: Pilot
A dedicated FBI agent, Don Eppes (Morrow) couldn't be more different from his younger brother, Charlie Eppes (Krumholtz), a brilliant mathematician who yearns to impress his older brother. The two brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases from very distinctive perspectives. As a seasoned investigator, Don deals in hard facts and evidence whereas Charlie, a math professor at a California university, functions in a world of mathematical probability and equations.
102: Uncertainty Principle
When Don and his team attempt to catch a pair of repeat bank robbers in Los Angeles, Charlie devises an equation using probability and statistical analysis to pinpoint the location of their next robbery. Although his prediction for the next robbery is correct, his mathematical model turns out to be useless when the robber's true motives are revealed. His frustration growing, Charlie's desire to continue to help the FBI falters when a stake-out goes bad, leaving one agent dead and his brother, Don, with a gunshot wound.
103: Vector
When people start mysteriously dying in Los Angeles, Don and his FBI team are called in by the Public Health Service to determine if it is an act of bio-terrorism. Using Charlie's knowledge of the mathematics of diseases, they attempt to track the virus not only to stop it, but to find the point of origin in order to determine who is responsible and why -- only to be surprised by the motive of the suspect. Meanwhile, Don is surprised to learn that Charlie has been keeping a secret from him.
104: Structural Corruption
After an engineering student at CalSci is found dead from an apparent suicide, Charlie convinces Don to launch an investigation after he reads the student's thesis that asserted that the architecturally magnificent Cole Center in Los Angeles is structurally unstable. Although reluctant at first, Don and his FBI agents discover that the student's findings were correct and uncover a dangerous and surprising conspiracy. Meanwhile, Alan prepares for a first date and convinces Don and Terry to join them, hoping they might rekindle their old romance
105: Prime Suspect
When a 5-year-old girl is kidnapped from her birthday party, Don and Terry lead the investigation but must rely on Charlie's help, as the girl's father, Ethan, is also a mathematician. Charlie realizes the kidnapper's motive when Ethan reveals that he is close to solving Riemann's Hypothesis, a difficult math problem. If solved, the solution could not only earn him with $1 million but could break the code for Internet security, unlocking the world's biggest financial secret. Neil Patrick Harris ("Doogie Howser, M.D.") guest stars at Ethan Burdick.
106: Sabotage
While consulting with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) at the scene of the wreck, Don learns that this tragedy is one of a series of recreated accidents involving railroad negligence. As is the pattern with the previous train wrecks, an undecipherable numerical code is left at the site, which Don recruits Charlie to solve. By breaking the code, Charlie is able to establish that this accident was a recreation of a deadly wreck that left only one survivor several years ago. Don's investigation leads him and his team to a dangerous standoff with their suspect, who has surprising ties to the railway system.
107: Counterfeit Reality
Charlie is called in to use his mathematical expertise to pinpoint the location of the counterfeiters by analyzing the dispersion of the bogus money. In addition, he also discovers a surprising connection to the disappearance of a local artist. Meanwhile, Charlie realizes how little he knows about his brother when he meets someone from Don's romantic past.
108: Identity Crisis
When a recent murder bears a strong resemblance to a murder case he closed a year ago, Don questions whether he sent the wrong man to jail. As a favor to Don, Charlie examines the old case and finds flaws in the fingerprint and eyewitness systems that put their reliability into question.
109: Sniper Zero
Pressed for time to find the sniper, Don calls in a senior Sniper Instructor from Quantico (guest star Lou Diamond Phillips) to assist on the case, causing Charlie to feel insecure about his role as special consultant to the FBI. Feeling animosity towards Agent Edgerton at first, Charlie learns from him that human behavior could make his mathematical equations useless. Instead Edgerton encourages Charlie to get inside the head of the killer.
110: Dirty Bomb
Don and his team are called when it is discovered that a truck driver and his big rig carrying radioactive material have been hijacked and are now missing. They are pressed for time to find the truck when the hijackers threaten to detonate a dirty bomb in an undisclosed location in Los Angeles if they don't receive $20 million in 12 hours.
111: Sacrifice
After an independent computer researcher with a contract with the Defense Department is found murdered, Don and his team are called in to find out who is responsible. After Don recruits Charlie to decode the murder victim's cryptic computer data, Charlie uncovers he was working on a secret and potentially damaging project, forcing Charlie to question the impact of his own life's work.
112: Noisy Edge
Don and Agent Quimby of the NTSB investigate eyewitness accounts of a mysterious unidentified object flying dangerously close to downtown Los Angeles that has raised concern of a terrorist attack. After Charlie is recruited to help with the investigation, it is discovered that the flying object is part of a new technology that could revolutionize air travel. But the investigation takes a turn when they learn that the lead engineer is found murdered. Gloria Reuben ("ER") guest stars as Agent Erica Weston from the National Transportation Safety Board.
113: Man Hunt
As Don investigates the prison bus crash, Charlie uses of probability analysis to conclude that the bus crash was not an accident, but part of a conspiracy to free a dangerous killer. Now, Don and Charlie must discover the killer's lethal agenda and stop him before he is able to carry it out.

Dorchester County Council approved spending about $247,000 from the County Stormwater Fee Fund Balance to buy a half-acre parcel in the Trotters Ridge subdivision from Tom and Evyonne Thurman.
Council made the decision during a special called meeting Monday, June 30. Council voted 4-1-2 on a motion made by Councilman David Chinnis and seconded by Councilman George Bailey. Councilmen Jay Byars, Chinnis, Larry Hargett, and Chairman Bill Hearn voted in favor, Councilwoman Carroll Duncan voting against, and Councilmen George Bailey and Willie Davis abstained from the vote.
The motion calls for the county to purchase the property for the sum of $247,000 the appraised value of the property together with usual and customary closing costs. It also included a caveat that the deal is contingent on the Thurmans executing at closing a release and covenant not to sue Dorchester County.
The decision, say councilmembers, was not an easy one to make; however, it seemed to be the most expedient and least expensive way to handle a situation the present county council has inherited. The problem, which goes back a number of years, is chronic flooding in the Trotters Ridge neighborhood, located off Butternut Road adjacent to the Pine Forest subdivision.
Periodically, whenever the area experiences a heavy rain, several properties along Trotters Club Way flood. Over the years the county has made some improvements in the area, most notably to the sewer system to help prevent sewage overflow that sometimes occurred during flooding events.
The Thurmans property, which is located at the base of a cul-de-sac, backs up to Rumphs Hill Creek, which runs between the Trotters Ridge and Pine Forest subdivisions. That property has experienced the most significant flooding problems, said county officials.
To conduct a study of Rumphs Hill Creek itself would cost at least half a million dollars and the county might or might not be able to address problems due to a variety of regulatory, jurisdictional, and other such issues, Hearn said. However, by purchasing the Thurman property, the county can directly address some of the drainage problems in the area by making some improvements to the property.
County Administrator Jason Ward said the plan is to remove the house from the property and return the property to a more natural state that will go a long way in alleviating the drainage issues.
With the topography the way it is, water wants to be there, so we want to return the property to a state where it can handle that, he said.
The county expects to close on the property within the next 30-60 days, said County Attorney John Frampton.
Council also voted to grant a contract to Susan Davis to serve as Delinquent Tax Collector for the county for the month of July.
Davis, who retired effective June 30, will continue in the position on this temporary contract until council can finish the appointment process, which is already underway. Council is currently reviewing applications for the position.

What PHP Developers Can Build

Here are 4 of the many other fantastic functions that PHP developers can execute:

Server-side scripting in web development is a technique which employs scripts on a web server to allow the server to produce a customized response for each user's request to the website. The following things are required to perform this function: the PHP parser, a web server and a web browser. The web server must run with a connected PHP installation. Developers can also use a web browser to access the PHP program output which will allow the

How Windows Web Hosting Can Help You Save Time And Money
There are two types of servers available nowadays, Windows and Linux. Most people choose to go with a Windows server over Linux. This is because it works perfectly with a large number of websites and supports various programming languages such as silver light, asp.net, SQL, etc. There is no hard and fast rule about using Windows hosting if you are on a Windows desktop, but if you do, the compatibility of the application is second to none. After all, you are using a Microsoft product on a Microsoft machine right? This is perhaps why Windows web hosting is considered one of the top choices.
There are quite a few advantages of choosing Windows hosting for your small business. Even if you're a new owner, Windows hosting makes the most sense since it is quite affordable.
But there are a number of unscrupulous service providers out there who are willing to cut corners in order to offer lower prices and get one up on their competition. Even though you may be tempted by these lower prices, you shouldn't go in for these offers since they are only going to end up costing you significantly in terms of
Tips In Choosing a Hosting Provider
If you are among those businesses with various needs such as analytics, marketing, finance, fundraising and relationship management, online marketing, and more, it is such an advantage to opt for web hosting. Now, the next order of business is to choose a company that offers reliable hosting. For hosting services, non-profit organizations have a few key points to consider.
In your search for a company that will provide these hosting services, you need to look for a partner that specializes in the different hosting software. Your chosen partner should give you the control to choose whether you wish to upgrade to a new version or not. Should you choose to upgrade, your partner company should provide you an opportunity to test in a sandbox before fully committing to an upgrade.
It would also be advantageous for your organization to choose a company that uses some of the best third-party software for your hosting. A good host will allow system users to drag and drop files between a local system and a remote system. Additionally, if you want to streamline the workflow of your staff, your host should be able to help set up custom shared folders
Why Having an App for Your Business Is As Important As Having a Website
How many times a day do you check your phone, use apps, or send a message? According to Time Magazine, Americans check their cell phones on average 8 billion times per day! In advertising, this would be considered an incredible amount of exposure. What if your business could get that kind of exposure? It can, if you have an app for your business.
Apps for business are the latest trend and are perhaps even more important than having a website. In today's America, clients want to get services from businesses anywhere and anytime they want. What better way to offer services than from an app? Clients need only to wake their phones from sleep and touch an app to do anything from hiring an electrician to booking tickets to a show. It is a two step process.
With a website, clients must wake their phones from sleep, open a browser, search for a web address, navigate to a contact form, and then they can contact an electrician or book tickets to a show. This does not mean that websites are not important. On the contrary, many people go to their computers to hire services as well.

For about a week Sgt. Michael Sarkkinen made special plans to see his family.
Sarkkinen, a Summerville resident, enlisted in the National Guard when he was 17. He is now a 27-year-old married father of two. For over a year he has been in serving in Afghanistan and has not seen his family since he left.
Sarkkinen's unit returned home May 14 but he was unable to return home because he had injured his foot while overseas and got delayed for medical clearance. He struggled to schedule a flight home to come to his 5-year-old son Anthony's kindergarten graduation at Beech Hill Elementary, held on May 23.
Sarkkinen got his mother-in-law, Antoinette Ponton, involved and made a plan to come home and surprise his family at Beech Hill.
For the past year, Ponton said, things have been hard on Michael's family – his wife and high school sweetheart Ashley, son Anthony and 3-year-old daughter Emily. This is his second tour – he first left for Iraq for a year when Anthony was two weeks old.
Ponton stays very close to her daughter and grandchildren.
"I visit them every day," she said. "We spend a lot of time with them. I think it's been harder on Anthony – for a little boy with his dad gone."
Planning the surprise visit started falling into place when Ponton's other daughter, Autumn Ponton, drove to Columbia to pick up Sarkkinen while Anthony went on to participate in his kindergarten graduation. After the festivities his mom, sister and grandmother joined Anthony in his classroom to snack on treats and interact with his classmates. His teacher Haley Cabaniss worked with front office personnel and school administrators to make sure Sarkkinen's visit was kept a secret.
"They are going to be shocked," Ponton said as she waited on her son-in-law to arrive that morning.
At 10:30 a.m. Sarkkinen made it to Beech Hill. Everyone in Anthony's class was asked to close their eyes – including his mom Ashley. When she opened them she saw her husband standing before with a bouquet of red roses. Anthony rushed across the room to meet his dad. The family grouped together for teary-eyed hugs.
Ashley Sarkkinen was very surprised by the visit. "I had no idea he was coming home," she said, adding the past year has been tough on the family. "We moved into a new house and stuff while he was gone."
Michael Sarkkinen said he was excited to finally have some family time.
"It's great to be back home," he said.

Something consumers have to be thankful for: low-cost dinner
Something consumers have to be thankful for: low-cost dinner
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away? I almost did until of course, I spent a good hour of my evening going back and forth with family about what time the big "to-do" should be. One of my favorite parts of this all-American holiday is helping plan the menu. Of course, it will include the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. But, this year, we're hoping to add a few new things to the menu. Let's hope the addition of homemade macaroni and cheese will appease the increasing number of little ones we have running around.
Thanksgiving traditionally reminds me how thankful I am to have a great family that still is dedicated to production agriculture year after year. But, this year, I'm also thankful for something else, and I hope you are, too: an affordable meal. The American Farm Bureau annually publishes an estimated cost of a 10-person Thanksgiving meal. The meal includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and beverages of coffee and milk. They also note that the shopping list includes enough for plenty of left-overs. You can view the below graphic to visually see what the cost is this year and what it was in the past.
The meal increased a modest 1.3 percent with a total ringing up to be $43.47 (last year it was $42.01). That equates to about $4.35 per plate. One gallon of whole milk, an item on the shopping list, posted an increase in cost of $0.38 cents this year compared to last. Cream, used for cooking and whipping cream, increased in cost by $0.15. But what is most telling to me is the line on the graph that adjusts for inflation. You'll notice that it is nearly flat since 1990 — which tells me that the cost of food, has barely increased. Certainly, what is likely even more important is the track record American farmers have in producing not only low-cost, but high-quality, and safe food.
As a parting comment, be sure to look back at this traditional thanksgiving menu and look for ways you can incorporate a little more dairy into your meal. Maybe try a herb and butter rub for the turkey breast to add some flavor and juiciness. Or, try my favorite triple-dairy mashed potatoes by adding butter, some cream cheese, and sour cream while beating the spuds. I was also reminded of the opportunity to make that great pistachio green jello dish that includes cottage cheese. And, please don't forget the cream in your coffee after battling to stay awake from all the tryptophan in the turkey!
Do you have a favorite family Thanksgiving recipe? We would love to hear about it!

6 Simple Pleasures Life Will Not Let You Have
#6. A Barista Who Leaves the Right Amount of Room for Milk
If you're anything like me, you get coffee at Starbucks all the time and hate yourself for it. It's charred and overpriced, and yet I still fork over my cash under a dubious belief that getting coffee elsewhere would somehow be inferior. Even more unforgivable, I don't even need to go to Starbucks because I never order specialty drinks like a tall mocha chai frappuccino or whatever those dudes who flip through the geriatric hipster CDs on the counter do while they wait for their $4.98 concoctions. I just get a tall coffee. Starbucks calls it a "pike," but I don't because somehow in the back of my sheepy little mind I'm asserting my individuality.
And each and every time I place my order, the cashier does the same thing. First she shouts "Tall pike" over her shoulder with an unstated reprimand for my deficient nomenclature. And then she turns to me with a helpful smile and asks, "Do you want room for milk?"
For the life of me, I have no idea why because in 10 years no barista has ever left me sufficient room for milk. I clearly say "Yes," and suddenly I'm pouring out an inch of steaming hot tar moments later. If the question is rhetorical and ultimately frustrating, why not make it better? "Would you care for a screaming orgasm with your beverage?" "Should I set fire to the Bon Iver CD that's playing?" "May all the baristas form a sexual human centipede for your enjoyment while you nibble on a cake pop?"
Like this, but without the dude or the surgical torture. Plus candy.
And I know I'm not the only one because all my abused Starbucks brethren circle round the tiny Formica garbage hole sprinkling nutmeg and discharging liquids like the stars of some caffeinated bukkake film.
#5. Toast That Tastes as Good as It Does in a Diner
When people aren't handy around the kitchen, they always say the same thing: "For the love of God, Gladstone, put your pants on!" Oh, wait, that's what Christina H. says when I pop over to show her "my new column." What I meant to write is people who can't cook usually say something like "I can barely make toast!" And while I get the concept, I always think it's a weird expression because it's surprisingly hard to make toast as well as they do in diners. I'm actually a decent cook, and I've never done it.
There must be some secret because even when you get toast at the crappiest greasy spoons, it's still almost always fantastic. Two slices of industrial-issue white bread, browned and dripping with salty butter. You can own bread, a toaster and butter, but somehow, when you make it for yourself, it's never as good.
That's all I really have on this one. Sorry, I just like diner toast. And sexually harassing Christina. Moving on.
#4. A Food Service Vendor Who Actually Only Applies "A Little" of a Condiment
I know there are people who love mustard and ketchup and mayonnaise or anything that's spreadable and bad for you.
Not what I meant. Get your head out of the gutter.
And I like mustard, ketchup and mayo, too, but in moderate amounts. That's not a problem when I'm the chef, but there seems to be no such thing as "a little" in the food service industry.
I'm undeterred, and I keep trying with hot dog vendors and sandwich shop employees. "A liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit," I say, scrunching up my face and holding my thumb and forefinger millimeters apart. But these employees seem to be trained that less is more (not just in personal hygiene, but also in condiment distribution). If I say I want a little mustard and you squirt a line of yellow gold across the dog and then another line back in the other direction, what would you do if I said I wanted a lot? And I think the answer is nothing different. Perhaps there's just something so fun about oozing condiments that nothing will stand in the way of the food service employee's embrace of culinary squirt art.
"I have a vision!"

A Lackawanna man and a South Buffalo woman were arrested on drug charges early Sunday after police found the drugs during a traffic stop.
James Botkins, 34, of South Drive, Lackawanna, and Meghann Reedy, 33, of Whitehall Avenue, South Buffalo, were arrested at 1:10 a.m. after police stopped their vehicle in the Kaisertown area, police said.
Police said they saw Botkins tucking something in between the front seat and center console when they approached the car. An investigation revealed a "crack rock," three wax bags containing drug residue and other drug paraphernalia, police said.
Both Botkins and Reedy were arrested on narcotics possession charges.

Meg Pier is a brilliant writer who travels the world... Her blog shares her travels, insights, philosophy and those she meets. She is a phenomenal writer and photographer and I highly recommend subscribing to her blog. I live vicariously through her. Here is a post from http://www.viewfromthepier.com/. Your comments and feedback are always welcome. Thank you Meg!
Lynn Pirozzoli, 55, is proprietor of the Black Horse Inn, an historic estate circa 1850 located in the rolling hills of Northern Virginia's horse country. An equestrian from an early age, Lynn credits her love of the outdoors as the impetus for an initial career as one of the country's first environmental scientists. Seeking to make change from the inside out, she pursued a career in the mining industry, where she designed and implemented ground-breaking programs in land reclamation. Her success led to the White House and a policy-making position with the Environmental Protection Agency. Returning to a corporate role, Lynn literally struck gold, a piece of good fortune that later enabled her to undertake a reclamation project of a more personal sort, transforming a run-down property into her dream home and a destination for those seeking a peaceful country respite.
That leap took courage—which Lynn has in abundance. From crossing miners' picket lines to proposing a position for herself with the Department of the Interior—not to mention surviving a fire that consumed nearly two-thirds of her body–Lynn has dared to live a life of intention. Along the way, she married the proverbial "boy next door" when in her late forties, and today she shares their labor of love, the Black Horse Inn, with couples seeking the perfect setting for their vows. Lynn reminded me that life is short and we need to make time to honor our dreams and all that we consider important. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lynn.
Meg: I understand you have been a life-long equestrian. Tell me about how that passion began.
Lynn: The riding that I did as a youth served as the foundation for riding throughout my life. Wherever I was, I always rode horses. They have been a huge part of my life. They are my love; they provide me with a respite from the stress and strain of everyday life. To quote Winston Churchill, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
I was born and raised in Connecticut, with much influence from my Grandmother, who survived the Depression and my parents who gave me a strong work ethic. When I was 12 years old I started my first business, where I would clean houses after school. Many of the homes that I cleaned were nearby, but there were many that required "taxi" service by my mother in her Cadillac. My clients always had a good laugh when "the maid" would arrive in a Cadillac! Eventually I saved enough money to invest in the stock market. At age 12, I asked my father what might be a safe investment for my hard-earned money. He told me to invest in utilities, and I did, reaping the rewards of a safe, but steadily growing industry. I learned much about investing and finance from my father. With the profit, I was able to put the money toward my riding and my education, which gave me a terrific sense of responsibility.
My sisters and I started riding lessons at an early age. I was just seven years old. As we progressed and became more proficient riders, we asked my father if we could purchase our own horses and keep them on our property. After much pleading for many months, my very wise father gave us conditional consent, based on an economic analysis and yearly plan. This was the most important lesson that I ever learned in my entire career and I am forever grateful that my father taught us this very valuable lesson at an early age.
My sister and I had to develop a plan that would take into consideration all of the expenses of building a barn, fencing pastures and expenses for the feeding and care of the horses. He required that we meet with at least three contractors for bids on the barn. At ages 7 and 10 we interviewed contractors for the job, developing a blueprint for the facility and a plan to board horses for profit which would cover the costs of caring for our horses. We had to work on a presentation, which we performed in front of my mother and father. After careful consideration, we were finally granted approval, with the conditions that we were completely and totally responsible for the care and upkeep of the horses and the stables year-round.
Of course, the barn did not have running water, so that meant hauling water to the horses before school each morning and evening, even in the dead of winter! If our grades went below a "B" we would relinquish our right to own horses and keep them on property. My sister and I divided chores and made it work. We learned such valuable lessons from this, and if you think about it, some of the most important business dealings are based on the same requirements: gathering information, assembling it to appeal to the audience and presenting it in a favorable fashion. As a matter of fact, I am still presenting things in the same manner today. If you learn this lesson early on in life, it certainly can reap rewards that you never dreamed of throughout your life.
Meg: I believe you were an engineer in your first career—what prompted you to undertake that profession?
Lynn: I went to college at Colorado State University to get a degree in environmental science. My great love for the outdoors led me to a profession that would protect the environment. At that time, there were very few universities that offered curriculum–much less a degree–in environmental science. Colorado State University allowed me to put together a self-designed major and I graduated in 1978 with a degree in environmental science, with a strong background in range management and reclamation. I was one of the first environmental scientists in the nation!

Nov. 23, 1923 – March 12, 2013
Charles E. Walker Jr., 89, a decorated World War II veteran and crew member of the famous "Ghost Plane" that was shot down over Belgium in November 1944, died Tuesday in his Williamsville home after a battle with leukemia. He was 89.
Born and raised in Newton, Mass., Mr. Walker enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1942 and was stationed at the Royal Air Force base in Bassingborne, England. From there, he flew 35 missions over Europe in a B-17 Flying Fortress and was on the crew of the "Ghost Plane."
Mr. Walker earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal along with other military awards. He later attended the 50th anniversary of the 8th Air Force in England in 1992 with other members of the 91st Bomb Group.
Mr. Walker married Mary Magdalene Rott of Buffalo in 1952.
After living in Stoughton, Mass., the couple moved to Williamsville in 1956, and with the help of his father-in-law, Mr. Walker built the home where they lived until the time of his death.
Mr. Walker worked as a carpenter, furniture and kitchen salesman and as an inspector for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Nicknamed "Paparazzi" for his picture-taking and email hobby, he enjoyed researching family genealogy with his brothers, James and Robert, who died in 2010. The brothers traced the Walker lineage back 13 generations to the year 1592, family members said.
Mr. Walker also enjoyed many other hobbies, including camping, fishing, golfing, gardening and playing horseshoes. He was a fan of the Boston Red Sox.
A parishioner of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Harris Hill, Mr. Walker also was a member of the Holy Name Society; PTA; Toastmasters; Post 1200, Veterans of Foreign Wars; and the 91st Bomb Group Memorial Association.
Besides his wife and brother James, Mr. Walker is survived by three sons, Charles E. III, John L. and Philip J.; a daughter, MaryBeth Hoffarth; and two sisters, Barbara and Polly.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. Saturday in Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, 8500 Main St., Harris Hill.

The NRA's Dangerous Theology
Tuesday was the 84th birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I don't know about you, but I miss his words, so I offer a few. King said "people often hate each other because they fear each other, they fear each other because they don't know each other, they don't know each other because they cannot communicate, they cannot communicate because they are separated." I would add to his words: 'and in that separation they seek guns.' As an evangelical Christian, I'm going to make this theological.
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, said this as his response to the massacre of children at Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, Conn.: "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
That statement is at the heart of the problem of gun violence in America today — not just because it is factually flawed, which of course it is, but also because it is morally mistaken, theologically dangerous, and religiously repugnant.

Late last year, a hacker claimed to have circumvented the copy
protection scheme used to protect HD DVD and Blu-ray content. Just over two
weeks after the news broke, the online pirate community is seeing the fruits of
hacker labor with the first release of a full HD DVD available for download.
The first HD DVD movie released is Serenity,
which weighs in at 19.6 GB. The file reportedly is available in EVO format and
is playable with PC-based players such as PowerDVD at full 1080p resolution.
Other HD DVD movies have quickly followed with the release
of Pitch Black at 21.37 GB, The Chronicles of Riddick at 24.94 GB and Batman
Begins at 24.76 GB. All HD DVD movies released thus far appear to retain all
aspects of the original discs, including various audio options and special
While PowerDVD is the software of choice to play the pirated
releases, PowerDVD's developer, Cyberlink, has publically
stated that it believes that its software is secure and is not a part of
the exploit in extracting the title keys used to decrypt HD DVDs.
quote: and to download a 19GB file?! How long will that take? A week maybe if you get like a constant 1mb/s connection rate and your machine needs to be on 24/7!
quote: If a user has a small size monitor then won't be able to see it in true HD form
quote: What if I download it and it does not work!
quote: No, but if I buy it and it does not work, at least I get to change it or get a refund.
quote: If HD DVD movies cost around $20bucks or so. I'll rather buy it than download it.
quote: I tend to agree - the only reason I would want to pirate this in the first place would be to stick it to the pro-DRM MPAA.

"Jessica looked pretty and very happy," says an eyewitness.
Adds a friend: "She's so excited to be a mom. She can't wait to meet her little girl."

America's Cup Team Feared Capsizing
Rough Conditions, New Boat Design Worried Crewmates of Racer Killed in Accident
SAN FRANCISCO—In the days before a participant in this summer's America's Cup yacht race died here Thursday in a training exercise, his teammates expressed serious concerns about the competition's safety, given harsh sailing conditions and a new design that made boats faster but less stable.
Andrew "Bart" Simpson, a 36-year-old two-time Olympic medalist, died after his team's boat capsized, sending all 11 sailors into the water. Nathan Outteridge, the helmsman for Artemis Racing, Mr. Simpson's team, said in an interview last week that he believed it was "pretty likely" a boat would capsize or crash during the competition, given the stiff winds and precarious boats. Artemis sailing director and tactician Iain Percy put the chances of such an accident at 75%.
A spokeswoman for Artemis declined to elaborate on those comments Friday.
Race organizers for the first time this year enacted new safety rules requiring sailors to wear crash helmets during practice and competition. Sailors also were required to carry oxygen canisters and sharp knives in case they became trapped beneath boat netting.
The fatal accident Thursday came during a practice session for the race. Artemis, a Swedish team, was performing a tricky maneuver called a bear-away, in which a boat turns away from the wind. Mr. Simpson, who won gold at the 2008 Olympics and a silver at the 2012 Games, was "trapped under some of the solid sections of the yacht," said Iain Murray, the Cup regatta director.
Mr. Simpson was submerged as long as 10 minutes, authorities said. The team said doctors failed to revive him while in rescue boats and later onshore. The other 10 sailors escaped major injury. "Our prayers are with Andrew Simpson's family, his wife and kids, and also the rest of my teammates," said Paul Cayard, CEO of the Artemis team.
Both Cup officials and the San Francisco Police Department said they are investigating the capsizing. When asked at a news conference Friday about any changes to the summer race, including the possibility of cancellation, Stephen Barclay, the America's Cup Event Authority chief executive, said: "Nothing is off the table. We need to know what happened."
The four-team, monthslong competition is scheduled to begin July 7, with three teams initially competing to determine who faces defending champion Oracle ORCL -0.81 % Team USA in the September finals.
Mr. Simpson is the second sailor to die in training for the America's Cup in the race's modern history. No deaths have been recorded during the actual race in the modern era.
Thursday's incident marks the second time a boat has capsized during practice for the 2013 race while attempting a bear-away. The Oracle team's boat capsized in a practice session in San Francisco in October. The crew escaped without injury.
The America's Cup, established in 1851 as a competition between British and American sailors, is the most prestigious and intensely fought competition in sailing. The race is typically held every three or four years, and the winning team is allowed to set rules and select the venue of the next competition. The Oracle team is owned by Larry Ellison, the billionaire chief executive of Oracle Corp.
With Mr. Ellison as their financier, Cup organizers have said their decisions to bring the race to San Francisco Bay for the first time and to make the boats faster were made to change the perception that their sport was boring and confusing. "The past America's Cups have been like watching paint dry, when the boats were very slow and miles offshore," Jimmy Spithill, skipper for the Oracle team, said in an interview last month.
Through a spokeswoman Friday, Mr. Spithill said: "The boats are fast, and everything happens in a split second. There is real risk involved. The boats can crash hard, and unfortunately we've seen that can result in tragedy—we lost a good friend."
A spokeswoman for Mr. Ellison declined to comment.
This year's course runs close to the city's jagged shoreline and islands. During the summer, winds typically kick up at about 1 p.m., blowing east at often more than 25 knots, or 29 miles per hour. Sailors also sometimes contend with a tricky current.
When the Artemis boat capsized Thursday, the winds were 18 to 20 knots. There was no tough current; the water was flat, Cup officials said.
America's Cup boats traditionally have been monohulled with a keel—a big underwater fin that counterbalances against the wind. This year,race organizers mandated that the boats be 72-foot-long AC 72 catamarans. These have two hulls, spaced widely apart and connected by a raftlike structure—and no large keel. The design makes them considerably lighter and faster. In interviews, sailors likened the new boats to race cars with no brakes and two modes: idle or full speed.
"You feel like you're on the edge," Mr. Percy, the Artemis tactician who was also Mr. Simpson's Olympic-medal-winning teammate, said last week. "It's got incredibly light steering."
Because the ships are so wide and fast, mistakes tend to result in the boats capsizing by flipping over the front nearly instantly, sailors said. During that October practice run, the Oracle team's upturned boat ended up drifting from the San Francisco Bay under the Golden Gate Bridge and four miles into the open Pacific Ocean before the team could get it under control. The Oracle team, like Artemis on Thursday, had failed to pull off the tricky bear-away move, said Mr. Spithill, the Oracle team skipper. Mr. Percy said the danger is that if the boat isn't moving fast enough while executing the move, the boat's bow nosedives into the water.
No one was injured in that accident. But the scare did remind sailors why, for the first time in Cup history, they are required to wear crash helmets, which provide protection if they are thrown off one end of the ship and encounter the ship's masts and hull on the way down.
Members of both Oracle and Artemis teams said in interviews before Thursday's accident that they practiced for catastrophes by simulating capsizes. The Oracle team got survival lessons from Navy divers. Artemis said its sailors practiced getting thrown into the water underneath a net, while their teammates jostled them around.
Another challenge for America's Cup teams is that crew size is now 11, down from 17 in 2010. The idea, said Cup spokesman Tim Jeffery last month, was to "emphasize the athleticism of the sailors."

Lois Ann Firestone remembered
To the editor:
A dear friend and historian, Lois A. Firestone, died Dec. 26, 2012. Lois was noted for her enjoyment of researching and preserving local history. She served as editor for the Quaker Heritage and Yesteryears (produced by the Salem News), both weekly papers, working with Dale Shaffer and Dick Wootten. While Lois' writings appeared in newsprint, the society realized the need to make these articles available in a more permanent booklet form. With her cooperation, the writings were gathered, reviewed and edited.
The result has been the publication of two editions: Selected Historical Articles of Lois Firestone (2006) and A Salute to Black History (2010). In her first edition she wrote the following acknowledgement: "Poring over these stories summons up images of people, places and events and they bring back the enjoyment I experienced in interviews, sifting through photographs, old diaries and journals in researching these minute pieces of area history."
We plan to continue publishing more of her writings in booklet form. On her last email to the society, she wrote, "My really warm regards to you, and thank you for the respect you've shown for my writing; it's quite rewarding to me." Lois A. We will miss her encouragement and friendship and we express our sympathy to her three children and four grandchildren.
Salem Historical Society,
Union reacts to announcement
To the editor:
I am writing to the residential and business customers of the Youngstown and surrounding areas in light of the recent announcement that the United States Postal Service will be going down to five day delivery of letter mail and the consolidation of mail processing plants. Five day delivery would delay the timely processing and delivery of the mail.
Locally, Youngstown, Ohio Area Local 443 of The American Postal Workers Union has been notified that on or around Feb. 23 of this year, all of our collection and cancellation mail will be taken out of the Youngstown facility and will be processed in Cleveland, Ohio. The union was also notified that in about a year, the Youngstown plant will be closed.
Instead of letting postal workers process the first class business mail, the mail is being contracted out to presort houses to do the work that the employees of the Youngstown plant have always done in the past. Once our collection mail goes to Cleveland to be processed, it could be weeks before the mail is processed. This is a disservice to both residential and business customers. The post office is on a downward spiral to destruction, and the road to privatization is in the near future.
The American Postal Workers Union President Cliff Guffey has issued the following statement:
"The APWU condemns the Postal Service's decision to eliminate Saturday mail delivery, which will only deepen the agency's congressionally-manufactured financial crisis.
"The USPS has already begun slashing mail service by closing 13,000 post offices or drastically reducing hours of operation, shutting hundreds of mail processing facilities, and downgrading standards for mail delivery to America's homes and businesses. The effects are being felt in cities and towns across the country. USPS executives cannot save the Postal Service by tearing it apart. These across-the-board cutbacks will weaken the nation's mail system and put it on a path to privatization. Congress has the power to restore the USPS to financial stability. To do so, it must repeal provisions of the 2006 law that created the Postal Service's financial crisis.
"The agency's crisis is a direct result of an unsustainable congressional mandate that was imposed on the Postal Service by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA). The federal law forces the Postal Service to pre-fund healthcare benefits for future retirees and to do so in a 1 0-year period. No other entity - public or private - bears this burden. Since the PAEA took effect in 2007, the Postal Service has been required to pre-pay approximately $5.5 billion per year. Yet the same law prohibits the Postal Service from raising postage rates to cover the cost. The USPS has a vital mission - to bind the nation together by providing efficient, inexpensive service to every part of the country. The Postal Service should be seeking ways to expand its offerings to the American people so that it can remain relevant in the digital age."
Most of the blame results from a Congress that will not act to correct the problems that are facing the United States Postal Service. They just want to watch the post office self-destruct and then maybe, just maybe they might move and do something. Congress made this mess, Congress can fix it!
I am urging each and every customer of the United States Postal Service to contact your legislators; either by phone or mail to voice your concerns and help us save America's postal service.

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a slowly progressing disease with poor clinical outcome. Recent evidence suggests that epigenetic alterations such as aberrant CpG methylation may play a role in MM genesis but so far have not been studied in a global comprehensive manner.
Methods: We evaluated the genome wide DNA methylation of CD138+ plasma cells from 29 patients with MM and 4 normal controls by using the HELP (HpaII tiny fragment enriched ligation mediated PCR) assay.
Results: This high resolution array based assay analyzed 25,626 HpaII amplifiable fragments corresponding to 14,214 gene promoters and revealed widespread methylation changes in MM that were not restricted to CpG islands. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of MM samples formed two groups based on DNA methylation profiles. Group 1 had more epigenetic similarity with the normal controls and was characterized by predominantly aberrantly hypo-methylated loci when compared to controls. On the other hand, group 2 was more epigenetically different from controls and was characterized by both aberrantly hyper and hypo methylated loci. Various novel genes were universally hypomethylated in myeloma (Zap70, ERBB3, KLF3) and the NFkappaB, TGFbeta and PI3K pathways were the dominant functional pathways targeted by hypomethylation (Ingenuity pathway analysis). Most importantly, the DNA methylation profiles were able to distinguish clusters with differing prognosis. Samples in Group 2 had worse prognostic features and were more likely to have non-IgG isotype involvement (p=0.0006), a plasma cell labeling index ≥0.3 (p=0.018) and complex cytogenetic abnormalities on FISH (p=0.000007). We furthermore observed a significantly lower Hb (mean Hb group 2=10.3, Mean Hb group 1= 12.2, p=0.0023) and a higher beta2 microglobulin level (mean group 1=2.91, mean group 2= 6.55, p=0.030) in Group 2 samples.
Conclusions: Global methylation profiling shows widespread aberrant marks in MM with hypomethylation as the predominant change in myeloma plasma cells. DNA methylation analysis indentifies 2 distinct clusters of MM samples with differing prognosis and reveals novel epigenetic targets in different prognostic groups of myeloma.

Bill O'Brien says he doesn't follow the recruiting rankings.
"Somebody came running into the office [Wednesday] morning and said, 'Hey, we're the fourth ranked team in the Big Ten in recruiting.' Who cares? Who is one, two and three? I don't know," the Penn State coach said at his signing day press conference last week.
"At the end of the day, that has nothing to do with how I look at a student-athlete. I look at a prospective student athlete with our staff and I say, 'Look, this is what we need, okay? So how does this guy fit what we need? What does he do well? What are his weaknesses? How is he going to fit in with our locker room? How is he going to do in class his freshman year? How is he going to do working in the community for us, because he's going to have to do a lot of that? How does he fit?'"

Quarterback Christian Hackenberg is considered as one of the gems of the Penn State recruiting class of 2013.
Just how successful O'Brien's approach of putting intangibles right up there with 40-yard dash times, bench press marks and athletic indexes will be put to the task in the next few years. Analysts from across the country and in the Nittany Lions' own backyard gave the program's 2013 NCAA-hampered recruiting class good reviews in light of everything but still acknowledged that it wasn't one without question marks.
"I thought they did outstanding. I gave them a B-plus for results and an A-plus for effort," said Tom Lemming, publisher of the Prep Football Report and contributor to a number of national recruiting websites.
"Just on its own, it's a solid class, but, when you factor in the restrictions, where they finished was pretty impressive," said ESPN recruiting analyst Craig Haubert said, whose site gave Penn State its highest rating, 24th in the country.
Fact Box
Penn State recruiting class of 2013
Total number of players: 17
Strengths: Quarterback, defensive end, numbers in the secondary
Deficiencies: Running back, offensive tackle, projected playmakers in the secondary
The gems: QB Christian Hackenberg, TE Adam Breneman, DE Garrett Sickels, G Brendan Mahon, LB Zayd Issah
The impact players: Sickels, QB Tyler Ferguson, CB Jordan Smith
The sleepers: T Andrew Nelson, DT Parker Cothren, CB-S Neiko Robinson, WR DaeSean Hamilton
The ones that got away: T Dorian Johnson (Pitt), CB Ross Douglas (Michigan), QB Jake Waters (Kansas State), DT Greg Webb
Best job of recruiting: Larry Johnson was the lead recruiter for about half the class; Ted Roof brought in three recruits from the Deep South
Most intriguing background: RB Richy Anderson's father was an outstanding running back at Penn State and had a great career as an NFL fullback. G Tanner Hartman's father was a standout lineman at Virginia Tech. Hamilton's high school coach also coached PSU all-time receiving leader Deon Butler. Breneman started an organization to raise money to fight ALS. Smith sat out his entire senior year but worked out with Troy Vincent and the father of former Lion CB Stephon Morris.
Where the class ranks nationally: Rivals.com - 40. Scout.com - 45. 247Sports - 26. ESPN - 24. Prep Football Report 34. PrepStar - Final ranking not yet announced, but estimated between 20 and 30.
Next Signing Day: Feb. 5, 2014
There was one aspect in particular, though, that Haubert and a lot of the experts agreed was a must need O'Brien and his staff managed to fill.
"It looks like there's some leadership in this class," Ryan Snyder of BlueWhite Illustrated said. "That could be huge, absolutely huge three or four years from now when Penn State is transitioning out of the sanctions. I think that's something we'll see a couple of years from now, that not only was [this class] talented and that it had some underrated talent, but that we had a handful of guys that were leaders - that could be what we really end up looking at from this class."
More than a third of the 17-member class - five early enrollees and 12 traditional signees - were on board before the sanctions hit and stuck with the Lions despite all the negative publicity the program was taking during the summer.
"[Christian] Hackenberg, [Adam] Breneman, [Garrett] Sickels, [Brendan] Mahon, [Andrew] Nelson, [Brandon] Bell, [Neiko] Robinson and [Curtis] Cothran really stuck together. I think you see the resolve with some of these kids and how quickly they were able to grow up, and I think that's going to pay off in the long run," Sean Fitz of Lions247.com said.
Hackenberg and Breneman are the head of the class, two players that any coach in the country would have wanted.
"I think they've been one of the big stories of the recruiting season, to have the sanctions they had and to go our and grab the No. 1 quarterback in the country and the No. 1 tight end," Nittany Nation's Josh Moyer said.
Hackenberg, one of two quarterbacks brought in along with junior college sophomore-to-be Tyler Ferguson, improved in the eyes of scouts in his senior year. Breneman, who already is on campus, saw his stock drop slightly because he missed all of his senior year with a knee injury. However, those who saw how well he moved and caught the ball beforehand weren't deterred from ranking the Cedar Cliff High School product very high.
"He's a tight end playing wideout who can create after the catch with exceptional speed along the lines of an Aaron Hernandez," Lemming said.
The Lions also landed to U.S. Army All-American Game lineman from New Jersey. Sickels, a defensive end, had an early offer from Alabama. Mahon, a powerful guard, was versatile enough to move to center for that game.
"Sickels is really strong coming off the edge. I think that's one thing you're going to see when he gets up there, becoming the sack guy. He's a very high motor kid, and you can never go wrong with that," Greg Pickel of FightOnState.com said. "Mahon is a bigger kid that will get even bigger. The thing that stands out about him is his hands and his foot quickness. I don't think it will take him as long as it might take some other guys to develop into a Big Ten offensive lineman."
Although not as highly rated as the big four, versatile Central Dauphin linebacker Zayd Issah also almost got universal praise from the analysts.
"I really like him a lot. I think he has big-time potential. I put him as a four-star player," Lemming said.
"I think that kid's going to be an impact player," Pickel added.
However, beyond those five players is where the questions begin.
"It's a class headlined by Christian Hackenberg and Adam Breneman. Both are elite 50 prospects. Those are the kind of guys that get you rankings," SuperPrep magazine publisher Allen Wallace said. "Unfortunately, a lot of the other signees are two- and three-star guys. O'Brien's really going to have to hope that some of these guys can be developed because there's not a lot of star-power here."
Where the Penn State coaches went against most of the reporters was in the secondary. While they shored up the position with four defensive backs - Robinson, Maryland's Jordan Smith, Georgia's Kasey Gaines and New Jersey's Anthony Smith - few other colleges went after any of those players hard.
"They still need help at defensive back. The guys they got are good players, but they're not game-changers. They're not guys that can step in and play right away," Snyder said.
Penn State did have one of the best in the country at that position, but Ohio's Ross Douglas changed to Michigan when the sanctions came down. The Lions also lost out on four-star-or-better prospects like offensive tackle Dorian Johnson, defensive tackle Greg Webb, wide receivers Will Fuller and Tyler Boyd and running back David Williams, all of which they either had committed or led for at one time.
"Obviously, there were some misses," Fitz said. "Dorian Johnson, Tyler Boyd and David Williams could have filled major voids going forward."
The Lions also came close but not cigar for the top junior college quarterback prospect in the country, Jake Waters. They scrambled at the last minute to get Ferguson, who comes in with just a year of college under his belt and competing against rising-sophomore Steve Bench, in all likelihood, for the starting quarterback role this year.
"I think Waters really could have come in and pushed Bench, not that Ferguson won't. But, at this point, Bench, it's definitely his job to lose," Yoder said.
Of course, almost every one of those two- and three-star recruits had at least one analyst high on them. Lemming called Robinson "an outstanding talent." Haubert liked Gaines for his headiness and ability to be a star player on a high school team filled with big-time recruits - including the No. 1 prospect in the country - although his top other offer came from Harvard. Wallace felt Bell, the New Jersey linebacker, might be better than advertised.
"He's a rugged, smart kid. He sheds blocks well, plays physical. He has a good reputation as a person in general. He's a productive player," Wallace said. "He's not overly fast, which probably held down his evaluation."
Wallace also liked Virginia wideout recruit DaeSean Hamilton, as did Pickel.
"He has a very good burst of speed, and he's very good catching the ball," Pickel said. "Opposing coaches said he never drops the football. That bodes well in O'Brien's offense."
In addition to the bigger names in the class, PrepStars magazine in California had players like Bell, Robinson, Hershey offensive lineman Andrew Nelson and Maryland running back Richy Anderson on its all-region teams.
"They got a lot of all-region guys that will be performers for them," said Jeff Duva, publisher of PrepStars magazine.
Haubert echoed Duva's thoughts on Nelson and Anderson.
"Andrew Nelson didn't finish in our top 300, but he's a really solid four-star. He's tough. He's got to get in the weight room and put on more size, but I think he's really got a chance to be an excellent offensive lineman," Haubert said. "Richy Anderson has good bloodlines [his father played at Penn State and nearly a decade in the NFL], and he can help you in a multitude of ways. In the future, numbers are going to be the big issue. Anytime you can get guys to fill multiple roles, they're huge."
Jordan Smith is another major sleeper. He sat out his senior year of scholastic competition after transferring high schools, but he spent that time working out with Troy Vincent and Roman Morris - father of Lion cornerback Stephon Morris - before enrolling in January.
"He has a lot of raw ability," Yoder said.
The Lions went far to the south not only for Robinson and Gaines but to get in on Alabama defensive lineman Parker Cothren. Not long after, he was named first-team all-state and had Auburn and Tennessee trying to get him to change his mind.
"Penn State and Purdue saw the growth potential, saw the motor he had and how he fit the system they are trying to work with," Fitz said. "When you are fending off teams from the SEC and can still get them to sign on the dotted line, it's a big deal."
Fitz also likes Cothran, comparing him in some ways to current Lion defensive end pass rushing stud Deion Barnes.
Penn State identified Cothran, Robinson, Nelson, Bell and Issah early, something Snyder found important.
"Linebacker, they got Issah, and he was one of their top guys, and Brandon Bell was one of their top guys. At defensive end, Curtis Cothran and Garrett Sickels were both in their top three," Snyder said. "As far as accomplishing what they needed to, it wasn't a perfect A, but it was definitely above average."
Sometimes, the system and getting the right fit is more important than rankings, Duva said.
"They got some really highly regarded players as well as some mid-tier guys, but they recruited really well to their needs, and that most important in any recruiting class," Duva said. "Sometimes the five-star guys are overhyped."
O'Brien stressed that he's looking for smart, tough, versatile players with high character.
"In terms of that, it was mission accomplished," Yoder said.

The Skyhawks� second half was much better than their first.
In the second, West Chester only scored 3� times as many goals as the Fort Lewis College women�s lacrosse team; in the first half, it was an unlucky 13.
The Golden Rams outscored the Skyhawks 13-1 in the first half, then 7-2 in the second half to beat FLC 20-3 on Thursday in West Chester, Pa.
�They are a very good team. It was a privilege that we got to play them,� said third-year FLC head coach Kelsey MacDonald in a news release to The Durango Herald. �It�s one of those games where you�re going up against a team that�s been together since they were young, most of them being from West Chester.�
West Chester dominated the Skyhawks in nearly every statistical category, in addition to the one that mattered most.
Hanna Cowan and Erin Eckert each scored three goals to lead the Golden Rams, while Brook Wineland, Marissa DiCecco and Ellie Carpenter each scored one for FLC. Ally Kvidera and Jessica Norby tallied the Skyhawks� two assists.
�I thought the game � aside from the score � overall was a great game for us,� MacDonald said. �We learned a lot from the other team. We did make some mistakes in our transition, in our midfield especially. But we did come up with some big stops on defense. When we did get the ball in the attacking end, we were able to pass the ball and move, and that had been something that we�d been working on.�
FLC (3-2, 2-1 Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association) will play Millersville at 11 a.m. Saturday in Millersville, Pa.
