Police were involved in a low speed pursuit for about four block Friday morning on North Federal Boulevard. According to a police report, Laluni Wood, 22, of Riverton was cited for DWUI with a Child Passenger and Failure to Yield. Officers followed Wood's vehicle for about four blocks at a speed around 10 mph. When she stopped for a stop light, officers ran to her vehicle and turned off the ignition. The woman appeared to be under the influence of something other than alcohol and told officers she was unaware that there was a child in the vehicle.
Police responded to a property damage vehicle crash at 10:57 Friday at First and Main streets. A 16-year-old youth from Arapahoe was cited for Following Too Closely and Failure to Maintain Insurance after his 2001 model Ford F-250 pickup rear-ended a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. There were no injuries and no road blockage.
At 11:30 Friday morning, police responded to the 300 block of South Federal for an injured dog in the roadway. The dog was thought to have a broken back and was transported to a veterinarian.
A break-in was reported at the First Assembly of God church in the 700 block of East Adams at 12:15 p.m. where a window was found pried open. Nothing appeared to be missing.
A 38-year-old female and a 33-year-old male apparently got into an alcohol-induced argument in the 200 block of South Federal at 2:30 p.m. Friday. The altercation was only verbal and police separated the two and sent them on their separate ways.
Police and Emergency Medical Services personnel were dispatched to the 800 block of East Adams for two 18-year-old males who were having seizures after apparently overdosing on a drug. The two were taken to Riverton Memorial Hospital. Police are investigating.
A woman and a man were observed allegedly shoplifting $10 in shampoo from Walmart at 4:20 p.m. Friday. The two left the store via the Tire and Lube area, entered a white pickup and left. Police are reviewing surveillance video to identify the suspects.
At 8 p.m. Friday, police and Riverton firefighters were called to the 800 block of North 16th East where fire alarms had gone off in a residence. Upon arrival, police found the house full of smoke. The homeowner, however, reported he had burned fish sticks under his oven's broiler. The resulting smoke triggered the alarm. The house was aired out.
Police responded "hot" to a call at 11:15 p.m. Friday night where a woman was reportedly stabbing herself. Police first responded to the 300 block of South Federal before being advised the call was dispatched incorrectly. The incident was occurring in the 1300 block of South Federal. Upon arrival, police found a smashed door and a woman laying face down on the kitchen floor, screaming and thrashing around. The woman had not been stabbed. Following an investigation, police learned the woman had grabbed a butter knife and pretended to stab herself with the non-sharp end of the knife. Alcohol was involved. The woman was charged with Property Destruction for the $200 in damages to the door and for Simple Assault.
Police responded at 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning to the 400 block of East Monroe where a fight was reported. The altercation was a verbal one between two brothers, aged 24 and 33. Police separated them.
A male subject wearing a dark baseball style cap and sweatshirt and driving a dark colored SUV is not welcome at the Riverton Ace Hardware store. Employees noticed the man wandering around the store and upon checking the aisles, found open packages with contents missing. Taken was a $24 value spray nozzle and a $30 value pressure washer nozzle. Police are studying surveillance video in an attempt to identify the suspect.
A female employee of a Riverton business called police Saturday at 3 p.m. to report that her former boyfriend was harassing her with frequent telephone calls. Police called the ex-boyfriend and told him to knock it off. Apparently, he heeded the advice.
A 22-year-old man who claimed he had been assaulted at the Beaver Creek Housing Area south of Riverton became belligerent with staff at Riverton Memorial Hospital resulting in police being called to the hospital. The man, however, left before police arrived shouting that he was going to the Lander Hospital instead.
Charges are pending against a 29-year-old woman who allegedly assaulted her 48-year-old mother in the middle of the 1200 block of East Main at 7:50 p.m. Saturday night. When police arrived, the younger woman sped away in a maroon colored passenger car. The mother reported she and her daughter began arguing in the vehicle at which time the daughter stopped the vehicle, they both got out, and began fighting. In an attempt to flee, the mother slipped on a patch of ice and landed hard, causing pain in her hip area. She was taken to Riverton Memorial Hospital for the hip injury. Police said the daughter is facing charges when she is located.
At nearly the same time, police were called to the 300 block of East Madison where a pregnant woman was reported assaulted outside her home by her boyfriend. The man allegedly confronted her outside, allegedly tried to choke her with her blouse squeezed around her neck and slammed her repeatedly into the vehicle. The man then fled. The woman's obvious injuries were photographed. The RPD will file its report with the Fremont County and Prosecuting Attorney's Office as an assault against a pregnant woman is a felony offense. The case remains under investigation.
At 9:10 p.m. Saturday, police recieved a call from the College Hill Apartments of people slashing tires and breaking windows out of a parked Ford Explorer. The reporting party, however, waited 30 minutes before calling police. By then the suspects were long gone. The incident remains under investigation.
Police were called on Saturday night for a number of vehicle vandalism calls. Apparently someone was breaking side mirrors off of vehicles parked on South Third East and on the 300 block of East Main. About five ice sculptures from the Wild West Winter Carnival ice block carving contest were also destroyed.
Following a traffic stop at 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a 16-year-old male was cited for not having a drivers license and for possession of a controlled substance. The entire report was not yet available.
Police responded to a motel in the 600 block of West Main Street after a 14-year-old girl appeared in the motel lobby holding her head and crying that her mother had assaulted her. Upon arrival, police discovered the girl had also been drinking and had a blood alcohol content of 0.14 percent. Anyone with a 0.08 percent BAC is considered intoxicated. Upon further investigation, police discovered the teen's mother had also been drinking and her BAC was 0.18. Additionally, police said the room where the two had been staying had been trashed with broken beer bottles, a broken mirror, a damaged heater cover, and a bathroom sink broken. Police discovered empty medical bottles in the bathroom and a police report said the woman had a white crusty substance in her nostrils. Arrested was 34-year-old Agnes Bell, aka Agnes Addison, who was charged with Child Endangering, Simple Assault-Domestic Violence and Property Damage. The teen was cited for Minor Under the Influence.
Just after 9 a.m. on Sunday, a patrolling officer noticed additional vandalisms to vehicles parked in the 400 and 600 block of East Main, although a report had not been finalized on exactly what the damage was.
The owner of a gray Ford f-150 pickup truck reported at 1 p.m. Sunday from Walmart that someone had sprayed a soft drink on the window of his truck.
Police responded at 2:50 p.m. Sunday to a report of a weapons offense in the 2300 block of East Park at Smith Road. The reporting party said four teenaged boys were shooting traffic signs in the area and that one of the youths was hanging out of a vehicle's window with a weapon. Responding officers found a black Jeep Cherokee matching the suspect vehicle description parked at the hockey rink off of Smith Road. When officers arrived on the scene, one of the boys pointed the weapon at at an officer, but then dropped it. The weapon was an airsoft gun. Two of the 15-year-old boys were cited for "Throwing Missiles or stones" and another 15-year-old was cited for interference when he attempted to flee from officers. The parents of the four youths were contacted and they had to drive to the scene and collect their respective child.
Only one Super Bowl-related call occurred Sunday, and that was at 8:20 p.m. in the 900 block of East Sunset where a 16-year-old female got into a fight with her sister, and then her 32-year-old mother while they were watching the big game. The 16-year-old allegedly slapped her sister and then started pulling her mother's hair, according to the police report. The mother and daughter ended up in a wrestling match on the floor. The girl was transported to the Fremont County Girls Group Home in Lander.

text: I have been wanting to post something about learning to love yourself for several days, but I haven't been able to come up with anything that was less than 10,000 words (kidding!) I hope it's ok to post this here. WISH is about being healthy, and part of being healthy is to have a good relationship with yourself. Princess Vija's post about releasing stress is a GREAT way to help us deal with situations that may trigger overeating, but it is also a great way to release some negative energy from our lives. That's just as important in the scheme of life as good nutrition and physical exercise. I applaud you, Princess Vija! In reading some posts on this board, I get the feeling that some of us might not have the most self-loving thoughts. I know I used to be very guilty of not loving myself and it was a very depressing way to live. I've changed how I feel about myself over the last few years through various self-help books, websites, and exercises. Anyway, I saw this on another site that I visit and I thought it summed up what I was wanting to post here, but couldn't find the right way to phrase it. This is part of a response that someone wrote in a discussion about the movie Shallow Hal (and how Hal ended up seeing the beauty in everyone, regardless of their physical appearance) "As far as being loved and cared for by others...hmmm. I feel better just loving others. If I wait for someone to tell me they love me, or to give me approval, and I rely on that for my happiness, I have little control over when those fleeting moments come, and then they inevitably go. If I just love and trust the whole universe, that feels good all the time. That is the wisdom of the late Lester Levenson, who came to this realization himself after reviewing his life when he was at rock bottom. He took a mental inventory of his past relationships, and realized that he felt best when he was loving, and often felt insecure being loved. I am finding that to be very true for myself as well. Now, I'm recovering the loving in me more and more." All of you are a great inspiration to me. I have found so much friendship and support on this board. When I read messages written by people who I think of as witty, charming, friendly, kind, gracious, funny, encouraging, wonderful, beautiful, etc. and I see that this person doesn't view themself the way I see them, it makes me sad. We're all wonderful, worthy, precious people. It's time to start treating ourselves that way all the time instead of waiting until we reach a certain weight or age or some other milestone. Sorry for the sappy message. It's just a shame to me to see some lovely people put themselves down. If you could see yourselves through my eyes, you'd know what a treasure you are!

Conway makes his debut in the No. 20 Ed Carpenter Racing/Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka Chevrolet on next Sunday.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Mike Conway has been working hard in the off-season to prepare for this weekend's Verizon IndyCar Series season opener in the streets of St. Petersburg, the 110-lap Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
Conway, a former street race winner at Long Beach and Detroit, makes his debut in the No. 20 Ed Carpenter Racing/Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka Chevrolet in Sunday's (March 30) main event at the 1.8-mile, 14-turn street circuit located near the St. Petersburg harbor.
"I'm anxious to get on the streets at St. Petersburg," said Conway, who'll drive 12 street/road races this year for Ed Carpenter Racing. "My new relationship with ECR has been very good this winter and we are excited to get on the race track and compete hard against the strong field. I haven't had the best luck at St. Pete in the races after qualifying well. So I would love to get the No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka Chevy up into a contending spot this Sunday."
Conway joined the ECR squad last November after team owner and driver Ed Carpenter announced he would only drive in the six oval races in the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series.
"We have been pleased with our progress so far in the winter testing with Mike," said Carpenter. "Mike is a proven race winner and we feel we can give him the tools to put the No. 20 ECR/Fuzzy's Vodka in victory lane this year. Having Mike in our car at the street and road races gives ECR a chance to win at every event in 2014."
Carpenter, the 2013 Indy 500 pole winner, is the only current IndyCar Series driver to come through the oval track ranks of sprint car and midget racing. The remainder of the 2014 field began their racing careers in karting and road racing, similar to Conway's background.
"We felt it was best for the team and our partners to have Mike drive the road and street races," said Carpenter, a two-time IndyCar Series winner. "While I was improving each year at the road/street races, this current series field is so strong that we believed Mike could give the ECR team the best showing in 2014. We are anxious to see Mike in action with our team at St. Petersburg this weekend."
In the winter, Conway has been active testing his ECR IndyCar as well as other sports cars in Europe. He is the test driver for Toyota in the LMP1 car and will race in selected WEC events.
"I was really pleased I was able to test the IndyCar several days in the winter," said Conway. "That is the first time I got in a full winter testing schedule in an IndyCar. Plus I was very busy in Europe too with testing. It's always great to get as much 'seat time' in a racing car as possible."
Mike is hoping the valuable testing time will pay off when he hits the streets of St. Petersburg this Friday morning (10 am EDT) practice session. Sunday's feature will be telecast on ABC-TV beginning at 3 p.m. EDT.
"We have a learned a lot with the No. 20 car this winter," Conway admitted. "I'm still in the learning mode with the crew and the engineering staff. But, overall, it's been a good off-season. I really appreciate how hard the team has worked with me in testing and preparing for 2014."
Conway knows a single-car team might not have the resources of the big multi-car organizations such as Penske, Ganassi and Andretti, but he believes his ECR squad can compete at the front of the field.
"The first two races are street events (St. Petersburg and Long Beach) and I enjoy driving at those circuits," said Conway. "I would like to come out of the winter testing with a strong performance and I think we have a good chance with this operation. This team has won races before and I think we can do it this year too."
There is no doubt that the ECR/Fuzzy's Vodka team is prepared for Sunday.

Hey everybody,
I don't mean to open up a crazy debate over this, but this is truly a question that I am seeking an answer for. You see, I do freelance graphic and web design on the side, and I am considering officially registering an LLC with New York State (where I live) to make the business official. To make a long story short, I was thinking about how other job markets run; engineers need to pass a final exam to be considered 'professional' as do teachers, lawyers etc. Is there a similar qualification to be considered professional to design and build websites? Or is it just a matter of having a registered business and having the ablility to do the work?
Looking back, the demands of web design has greatly changed in the past years. Most websites ten years ago were static html with some javascript and maybe CSS. Nowadays it appears that most clients want a CMS with custom features so that they can update the content themselves. This obviously goes to the server-side back-end which used to be for web developers. At the same time the web keeps expanding; a single person can't be expected to master every possible aspect of the web experience, especially with newer technologies constantly being rolled out. Just because I know the front end design the best (photoshop, html, css) and know enough to run a decent backend, does that make me any less 'professional' than someone that has a proficiency in both? Or is the everyday web designer's job description keep expanding as these new technologies roll out?
I'm just curious to where people draw the lines and such, and what other companies look for when hiring a person to design their corporate website.
Thanks in advance,Rick
What I consider a professional designer is one who can regularly do what I want or need. If they can't their not good enough so their not professionals. That simple for me.
Hi Rick. Welcome to the forums.
The web design industry is basically unregulated, meaning that there isn't much way to distinguish between someone who's competent and someone who's a hack—apart from viewing their work. That's bad in some ways, but good in others.
a single person can't be expected to master every possible aspect of the web experience, especially with newer technologies constantly being rolled out.
Indeed. You can't be all things to all people. It's often recommended that you specialize in something you're good at. It's perfectly viable to be a front end designer who uses jQuery and a CMS to deliver what clients need. Then, of course, you can always team up with other people (like developers) on individual projects where needed. It's good to know people in a range of areas like this so that you can liaise with them when required.
I suppose it does boil down to being able to do what the client wants – end of story. But for me something seems missing out of this equation. Obviously there are best web practices that professionals should know, but even that's not standardized by the people building web technologies! Can anyone say HTML5 and CSS3?
As Ralph said, focusing in one area doesn't make you less professional than the next.You only need to be able to provide a service to people that they're willing to pay for to be a professional.
That being said, if you are always learning and keeping on top of new technologies you'll be able to offer your clients a better service.You should know what HTML5 and CSS3 offer because they can save you time and the client money.
I think that web designer is the one who understands the audience and translates the usability in the design.
Html and CSS are the basics which every web designer needs to be aware of.A professional web designer is one who keeps his targeted audience in mind while designing .After all you are not designing for yourself.A webdesigner is aware of the latest technologies and tools available to design. Nowdays many designers make use of CMS.But how to optimize content is another major concern For designers.A professional webdesigner has a lot of expertize in his field.Starting From Design layout,Look,Content and what will appeal the users a webdesigner has to see a lot of factors so that his design stands out among others.
Being a "professional" web designer only has a proportional amount to do with the ability to code or produce nice designs (I'd say around 50%). I think the mainstay is the way the professional deals with challenges, clients and opportunities. Someone who is unprofessional will promise more than they can give, thus creating "shoddy work" and also make silly mistakes which can prove costly to a client.
A professional however knows exactly what all their strengths and weaknesses are, and plays to their strengths whilst their weaknesses are covered by either other people helping them, or by using tools which help them achieve it. A professional is always honest and straight down the line and communicates issues early.
Obviously being a kick ass coder and an awesome designer can help too!
I suppose it does boil down to being able to do what the client wants
this is a dangerous and exploitative way of thinking. It also leads to some serious cases of "project scope creep"
Professional simply means you "make a living" at it. As sad as that seems I have seen people ( in any filed) with amazing skills who just can't land $$$ and people who will even ADMIT they have little or no knowledge of stuff and still have a steady income from the respective field which requires said sills.
Sometimes its also better for everyone, that you to specialize at what you are good at. As you said you can't be top notch at everything. If you do GRAPHIC DESIGN for the then specialize GRAPHIC DESIGN so that becomes the PREMIUM service you offer. Keep in mind there is also a market of mediocrity. That is a client that wants to paya certain amount and that's it! In which case eign a jack of all trades may get you more work but not more acclaim or money.
OT:I find it an odd pattern that it is (visual) designers who most often suffer from this lack of "professional confidence". A guy who learns PHP and CODES forms all day for a living has no issue telling a client he's a PHP and (maybe) security guy and that he is not expert at Photoshop or, more importantly, aesthetics 'so the site might look a little plain and w/o frills' and charging premium rates for his knowledge and expertise. But even the most advanced graphic designers who are new to code ( but can code functionally) feel totally ashamed that they can do a DESIGN for a page but are not "Eric Meyer" when it come code. Why is this?

Leland [aka Lee] & Stella Rice moved north to Keystone, [Keith Co.] NE area during the Kinkaid Act to claim land for their newly started family.
Leland Burton Rice was one of the children that came west with them. Here is was that Leland met and married another Perkins county resident - Stella Alena Wilson on August 6, 1895. It was just few months after their marriage that Stella's father, Joseph Wilson took ill and died on February 28, 1896. In May of 1896, on the 4th day of the month Elizabeth Pernesa Rice was born (my grandmother), being named after both mothers. She came to be known as Pernesa.
Leland and his wife Stella moved to Arthur county just north of Ogallala, close to the town of Keystone, where he worked for a rancher in the area, 3 more children were born to the couple there in Keith County, their daughter Elsie and sons Albert and Raymond.
Leland than moved his family back to the homestead farm of his parents, probably to help with the farm since his mother died in the 1900 and Leland father was getting up in years. I found a news article in Keith County News paper, under the Keystone news which stated that Leland was quitting his job with the rancher and going back to Perkins county to take over his father's farm and with him he would be taking a sizable herd of cattle that he had built up while working there in the sandhills.
It was there the 5th child of the couple was born Clare Leland Rice. It is unknown why the couple did not stay longer possibly with the death of his father, in 1906, he moved back to the sandhills where he settled and raised his family. This is where Pernesa met and married Edwin Lewis Matthews and they had 7 children, one being Mary Jean my mother.

Its that time of year again when the leaves turn orange and red and brow and they start to fall in the sky like little angels making the floor and forest look bright and colourful. Autumn is such a great time of year for take photos if you are a professional photographer, especially if you like to print your photos on to some wonderful looking canvas printing masterpieces as the great modern day printers can print such amazing colours and they can replicate that stunning autumn look.
The great thing about Autumn
The really great thing about autumn is that its not to cold for you to go out and capture some great photos. yes its not as warm as it was in the summer but then again its no where near as cold as it will be when winter hits home. If you love taking photos then you will love taking pictures at this time of the year as there is so many photo opportunity to be had and if you take lots of pictures then you could chose a couple to decorate your home with. Or if your looking to do a family photo shoot then you could pick your time. Autumn and then choose the location, ideally somewhere there is lots of tress so you can capture the beautiful leaves in the background, or foreground depending on where you are.
Setting the scene for some amazing looking canvas printing photos.
Here is a great example of what you can achieve from an autumn style picture. If you plan well and set the scene then you can end up with results like the above picture. One other thing to remember when taking photos for the purpose of canvas printing is that you should try to leave yourself some background at the sides of your photo. This helps when it comes to the editing stage later on, it helps if you are framing the photos you took from that beautiful day in some photo frames or indeed if you are transferring your pictures on to canvas prints then its better if you leave that extra background for the stretching and framing stage so that the professional canvas print maker can wrap your photo around the frame without loosing any important parts around the stretcher bars frame, for example you wouldn't want any important people being wrapped half way around the frame. Its good to plan how and where you take your photos, it can make all the difference and you will be so happy and so amazed with the results.
Have you taken any Autumn photo lately, post your ideas and picture here. i would love to see them.

Today show stars Matt Lauer and Al Roker are at war with co-host Katie Couric after NBC offered to pay her $25 million a year to stop her from leaving, The National Enquirer can reveal.
Sources say that network execs put up the whopping salary — which would amount to $100 million over the course of four years — so that Katie didn't jump ship to CBS Evening News to take over from Dan Rather.
Katie, 48, is already America's highest-paid TV journalist — she has a $65 million four-and-a-half year contract that is earning her a cool $14.4 million annually until 2006.
But the incredible new deal discussed at high-level secret negotiations reached the ears of co-workers… and drove them crazy! Particularly upset were Lauer, 47, who earns $8 million a year, and Roker, 51, who nets $2 million.
After Katie was spotted meeting with CBS boss Leslie Moonves this summer, she was expected to announce her decision to move before the end of the year.
According to a show source, execs agreed they should keep her at any cost because her departure could mean plummeting ratings for other NBC shows that follow Today. There were also worries that Good Morning America could overtake Today in the number one ratings spot if Katie left.
To read the rest of this article, pick up this week's issue of The National Enquirer.

Odelia Ott Rabel
Odelias 100th Birthday Celebration, March 15, 2009
Odelia Josephine Ott Rabel was born March 15, 1909 in String Prairie, Texas to Emil J. Ott Sr. and Mary Waneck Ott. She was born in the farm house Emil Ott built with no labor cost. He and his buddies drank $800 of whiskey building the house. Not many doors or windows were square. Odelia was the oldest of three children. She had one brother, Emil (Bill) Ott Jr. and one sister, Agatha Ott Frerich.
Odelia attended school at St. Marys until it was destroyed by fire. She then went to public school where the String Prairie Community Center is today. It was a one room school. There was a big rivalry between upper country and lower country students. Upper country was all the students that lived south towards the Caldwell County line. Lower country students were those who lived north towards Rosanky. Many scraps occurred between the two groups. Odelias son would attend the same one room school house for five years until it closed in 1957.
Education was not the primary goal of the German people of that era. Odelia completed six grades but always desired to have more. She wanted to be a nurse, but farm work was long and hard. She took care of her grandparents when they became old at their home which is where Bill and Valera Wilhelm live today.
On Nov. 15, 1932 Odelia married Henry Rabel, the son of Greenpond Joe and Anna Rabel. They were raised about one mile apart. On their wedding day the wind blew very hard and there was sand on bowls of peaches that were served.
Henry and Odelia purchased their farm where she now lives from her father. They raised cotton, corn, and a few cattle. Odelia also raised chickens for meat and eggs. Mules and horses were used to plow and gather crops. A garden was an important source of food for the family. Some of the crops which did not last on the Rabel farm were peanuts and caster beans. Corn was topped above the ear to make fodder, which had to be tied by hand and put in shocks to dry. It was excellent filler for cattle, but very hard work. Cotton was either picked or pulled by hand with the boll left intact then placed in a pick sack.
Church played a big role in Henry and Odelias lives. The Ott and Rabel families were involved in putting up the nativity scene at Christmas. Henry would cut seven cedar trees that were perfectly shaped. Odelia took care of church linens. She served as chairman of the D.E.F. fund drive for several years. She participated in many Council of Catholic Women meetings and served on the Deanery board. Odelia also taught C.C.D.
Because of her love of learning, Henry and Odelia were involved with county agents and the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. She was a member of the Home Demonstration Club and participated in many events. She also encouraged her son to join the 4-H club, and have swine as his project. Being a typical teenager, record books and deadlines were pushed to the last minute. One year changes needed to be made in Carrolls swine project book. A meeting was arranged with the county agent to finish the record book. Lightning caused the lights to go out in the courthouse and the record book was finished with a flashlight. It would bring joy to the Rabel family as it won one of six National 4-H Swine Awards and a college scholarship in 1962. Six years later her son would be the first one in the family to receive his degree from Texas A&M University. Odelia is also proud of her two grandsons, Carroll Jr, and Terrell who also graduated from Texas A&M.
Henry and Odelia were married for 61 years. Henry suffered a stroke in 1992 and was cared for by Odelia and her family until his death in 1994. Odelia broke her pelvis in 1999.
Odelias son Carroll Sr. married Mary Seline Bransom on his birthday in Jan. 29, 1972. She has two grandsons, Carroll Jr. (Bubba) who married Amy Wilhelm, a St. Edwards graduate and Terrell who married Debbie Cantu an Texas A&M graduate. Terrell and Debbie have three children Barrett, Carina and Carlie.

Jerusalem (Nov. 4)
The spokesman for the four African presidents visiting Israel on a fact-finding mission for Middle East peace suggested last night that the group prepare immediately practical proposals for a dialogue between Israel and Egypt. President Leopold Senghor of Senegal said on a special radio interview that he may return to Israel for a second visit after he and his colleagues visit Cairo. They leave for the Egyptian capital today ending a three-day visit to Israel.
Senghor said that he personally has always felt an affinity for Israel because of the spiritual parallels between her ideas of freedom and those of the African nation. He compared Zionism to the African liberation movements.
Presidents Yakubu Gowan of Nigeria, Ahmadou Ahidjo of Cameroon, and Joseph Mobutu of Zaire (formerly Congo Kinshasa), and Senghor represent the Organization of African Unity, a group that has consistently gone on record in favor of resolutions supporting Egypt and calling for Israel's withdrawal. They were selected out of the OAU's Committee of Ten Presidents to make the fact-finding journey to Jerusalem and Cairo and will report back to the full committee at a meeting in Dakar Nov. 10. It was Egypt, a member state of the OAU, that first asked that body to do something about the Middle East conflict.
Nevertheless, Senghor's remarks last night, and his assurances when the group arrived in Israel on Tuesday that they were open-minded, indicated that the African heads of state seriously want to help a Mideast settlement. Although the Egyptians, by virtue of their position as an African nation have been more active in presenting their case than Israel, the Israeli position has been stated at length in personal letters sent by Premier Golda Meir to the Committee of Ten.
Israel relies further on its generous record of assistance to African nations. Since 1960 an annual average of 300 Israeli experts have been going to various African countries on a wide variety of economic and development projects to which Israeli know-how can be applied. Thousands of Africans have come to Israel for training. Mobutu, who holds the rank of general, earned his paratrooper wings at an Israeli Army base several years ago.
Gowan has not forgotten Israel's expression of sympathy for the former breakaway province of Biafra in the recent civil war and was reminded of it last night in a telegram sent him by the Knesset's Free Center faction protesting Nigerian "genocide." But Israeli officials do not believe this will affect his attitude. They are more concerned that the Egyptians, who will have the "last word" on this visit, may prove a more tempting suitor both politically and in the splendor of lavish Arab hospitality in Cairo.
Observers here said Israel would be satisfied if the four presidents recommend that Egypt and Israel get together to discuss how to implement the Security Council's Resolution 242 in all of its parts. President Senghor's remarks last night indicated that this would probably be the outcome of their mission.

The first update takes advantage of this optimization (in AfterTriggerSaveEvent function): > /* > * If this is an UPDATE of a PK table or FK table that does not change > * the PK or FK respectively, we can skip queuing the event: there is > * no need to fire the trigger. > */ The second UPDATE, however, falls into this exception later in that function: > /* > * If this is an UPDATE of a PK table or FK table that does not change > * the PK or FK respectively, we can skip queuing the event: there is > * no need to fire the trigger. > */ > ... > /* > * Update on FK table > * > * There is one exception when updating FK tables: if the > * updated row was inserted by our own transaction and the > * FK is deferred, we still need to fire the trigger.

So on the second UPDATE, the foreign-key trigger is fired, and the trigger locks the tuple in table b. That's not ideal, of course, but I don't see any easy way to fix that. Perhaps we could add some extra checks there, like whether any INSERT-triggers have actually been queued. But it would just narrow the issue, I don't see a way to completely eliminate it. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

US does not fear China, says Obama
President Barack Obama insisted that the United States does not fear China, even as he announced a new security agreement with Australia which is widely seen as a response to China's growing assertiveness.
President Barack Obama insisted that the United States does not fear China, even as he announced a new security agreement with Australia which is widely seen as a response to China's growing assertiveness.
The agreement, announced during a joint news conference with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, will expand the US military presence in Australia, positioning more US equipment there, and increasing American access to bases.
About 250 US Marines with begin a rotation in northern Australia starting next year, with a full force of 2,500 military personnel staffing up over the next few years.
"This rotational deployment is significant because what it allows us to do is to not only build capacity and co-operation between our two countries, but it also allows us to meet the demands of a lot of partners in the region that want to feel that they're getting the training, they're getting the exercises, and that we have the presence that's necessary to maintain the security architecture in the region," Mr Obama said.
While the president sidestepped questions about whether the security agreement was aimed at containing China, he said the US would keep sending a clear message that China needs to accept the responsibilities that come with being a world power.
"It's important for them to play by the rules of the road," he said.
And he insisted that the US is not fearful of China's rise. "I think the notion that we fear China is mistaken. The notion that we're looking to exclude China is mistaken," he said.
The US and smaller Asian nations have grown increasingly concerned about China claiming dominion over vast areas of the Pacific which the US considers international waters, and reigniting old territorial disputes, including confrontations over the South China Sea.
China's defence spending has increased threefold since the 1990s to about 160 billion US dollars (£100.8 billion) last year, and its military has recently tested a new stealth jet fighter and launched its first aircraft carrier.
Meanwhile, China expressed concerns about the US plan to deploy Marines in northern Australia, with Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin saying it was worth discussing whether it was in line with the common interests of the international community.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"

Citing Conveniently Disappearing Witness and Other Curious Factors, Skeptics Are Quick to Question Official Account
"Last time, they found an easy scapegoat in Muslim extremists. This time, it's drunken vandals. Because who's going to believe a drunken vandal when he slurringly protests his innocence?"
The toppled tower, left, identifies the section of steel beam from the WTC, right.
FEVERISHLY SCOURING THE OFFICIAL RECORD, PACIFIC BEACH - To hear San Diego fire engineer Jeff Kaimer tell it, the silver tower forming part of the 9.11 memorial outside the Grand Avenue fire station was most likely toppled by several strong young men, possibly inebriated after a night on the town. But, counters 9.11.12 Truth founder Ken Kenneth, "according to Kaimer himself, the only actual witness to the event was a mysterious blonde. This blonde somehow escaped by Kaimer and another firefighter when they sought to detain her. Nobody else saw the blonde, or anybody else, for that matter. And is it just a coincidence that the man who designed the memorial isn't even in the state today? Fishing in Alaska, my foot."
"Look at the pattern of so-called 'dings,'" says Kenneth, pausing a local news segment covering the tragedy. "They're saying that the toppled tower struck the tower next to it as it fell, but if that's true, why doesn't the second tower show any signs of damage? If anything, it should be more dinged, not less, because the falling tower provided the ding-force via its momentum. Further, the automotive clear coat applied to each tower should have been more than strong enough to withstand a ding-strike of such small magnitude. Never mind the fact that the tower would have to have been spinning on its y axis like a top for that edge to strike the other tower they way they're saying it did."
"We don't have all the answers - yet," continued Kenneth. "But we do know this much: there's more here than meets the eye. You haven't heard the last from us. I only hope there's a way to get at the security videotape before they edit it to fit their version of the facts."

COE Earns Top 50 Ranking in U.S. News & World Report Online Graduate Report
Georgia Southern University College of Education earned a top 50 ranking in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report "Best Online Graduate Education Programs" released January 8. "We're pleased to be in the top tier, said COE Dean Thomas R. Koballa, Jr., Ph.D. "The College of Education continues its commitment to offer high-quality online graduate programs and expand the options available to best serve our students," he said.
"Our online classes meet high standards for excellence," Koballa continued. "We have a committed faculty trained to teach distance learners, and students from across the region and state know they will be engaged in a rigorous graduate program that furthers their career as an educator in many professional settings," he said. The U.S. News rankings are compiled annually and take into account such factors as student engagement, which includes retention and graduation rates; admissions selectivity; peer reputation; faculty credentials and training; and student services and technology. The rankings included 238 public and private institutions offering online education programs.
"The rankings are a good place to start your search for an online graduate education program," Koballa said, "but we also encourage students to contact our Graduate Academic Services Center where they can speak with trained advisors, faculty and peers about our online programs."
The methodology used for this year's rankings changed significantly from the previous two years' rankings U.S. News said in releasing the new data. Program ratings by peer institutions were added this year and improved data collection allowed additional emphasis on student engagement.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew admits he could be facing the sack even if he guides his struggling team to Premier League safety.
Newcastle's fate remains undecided going into the final two games of the season and Pardew concedes there is uncertainty over his future after his side failed to build on last year's fifth-place finish.
Even a victory at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, which will all but guarantee their top flight survival, might not be enough to extend his two-and-a-half year reign on Tyneside.
Pardew is set for end-of-season talks with the club's multi-millionaire owner Mike Ashley, which he admits will be 'uncomfortable' for both men after nine months of under-achievement.
The 51-year-old will meet Ashley in the days following the final match of the season at home to Arsenal on May 19, as the dust settles on a troubled campaign.
Pardew, just seven months into an eight-year contract, said: "I'll sit down with Mike as soon as we know where we are, and what division we're in.
"It'll be uncomfortable for us both, because we've both underachieved. Him as an owner and me as a manager.
"We need to find out what the reasons are and then it's for Mike, hopefully with me, to decide how to go forward. We've underachieved as the club, so the point is we all take responsibility.
"That ultimate decision is not mine, so we could get the points we need and Mike could decide he needs to move to another manager, though I'd like to think that he won't.
"We know we've got an uncomfortable conversation regarding the form this year, the underachievement that's been mentioned.
"It's about making sure we go forward and put right some of the things that were wrong this year."
Newcastle must address their wretched away form to help take them beyond the 40-point safety mark in their bid to avoid relegation.
They have won just once on the road this season, a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa in January and Pardew said: "We have to put our away form right. We have to improve on that record on Sunday, because it's out last chance this season.
"There have been games when we should have got better results. For whatever reason we didn't see it over the line.
"We got ourselves in good situations in games where we should have got points. That's a concern. That's cost us this pressure we're under now."
Pardew and company will come up against Loic Remy, QPR's France forward who was on the verge of a move to St James' Park in January before a last-minute change of heart, triggered by the personal terms on offer at Loftus Road, which exceeded those Newcastle were willing to offer.
The 26-year-old has scored five in 12 appearances for Harry Redknapp's side and Pardew added: "We were disappointed how that ended when we missed out on him, if I'm honest.
"We made that clear to his agent and to the player that we were upset about the way it was done. They maintain it was done in an honest and honourable way, and I have to believe that."
QPR are without a win in their last seven and have just four victories to their name all season, with their relegation confirmed two weeks ago
And boss Harry Redknapp admits he will look to strengthen discipline in an effort to get a grip of his own fractured dressing room.
"Next year lots of things have to change here - the whole discipline of the club," he said.
"I've pussy-footed around with some of them because they are here and you need to get the best out of them.
"I want players who want to be here, work hard and train hard - the others, just don't bother. In terms of discipline - it has got to change. Some of them think they can do what they want when they want."

Senator Nozzolio Secures $50,000 For Village Of Red Creek
Red Creek – Continuing his aggressive efforts to support the needs of our villages, New York State Senator Michael F. Nozzolio (R-Fayette) today announced that he has secured a $50,000 State grant for the Village of Red Creek. The funding will assist with the purchase of a new multi-purpose vehicle that will be used for a variety of needs in the Village.
"This state funding will allow the Village of Red Creek to continue to provide important services for their residents," said Senator Nozzolio. "This vehicle will be used for plowing and salting the roads during major snow storms in the winter and will be used year round to improve the safety of Red Creek's roads. It was a pleasure to secure this State grant to support the Village of Red Creek and their residents."
The new truck will have a plow and sander that will be used to remove snow and keep the Village's streets clear. The truck will also be used for various duties during the warmer months, including street maintenance.
Village of Red Creek Mayor Debra Letson said, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Senator Nozzolio for this great surprise, which will help purchase a new truck for the Village. Red Creek is a very small rural community with a dwindling tax base and; each year it gets more difficult to provide services for the Village residents. We have needed to update our work truck for some time and this money will enable us to do it sooner. We have a great opportunity to revitalize and all the help we get is greatly appreciated."
"I would like to thank Andy Sharpe of the Water Department and Susan Saylor, Village Clerk Treasurer, for their combined efforts to make this event happen," continued Letson. "It is good to see people believe in a cause, set their goal, and work hard to achieve it."
Highway Superintendent Andy Sharpe said, "This is wonderful news and I greatly appreciate Senator Nozzolio's hard work in securing this important funding. The Highway Department has been in desperate need of financial assistance to upgrade our equipment and we could not have done it without Senator Nozzolio's assistance. We appreciate the Senator's continued support on our behalf."

To the Adirondack Journal:
The Board of Trustees of the First United Methodist Church of Warrensburg would like to set the record straight regarding Warren County's use of the church as a mealsite and the problems described in the Journal's recent article "Warrensburg mealsite may move to Countryside Home." The mention of the county leaving the site for reasons other than financial comes as a complete surprise to Roy Ross, president of the Trustees.
For many years, the church and the county have had a friendly relationship and have worked together to address any problems that have come up.
While the county has been using the facility, the church has added a bathroom to the lower level where the dining room is and installed a chair lift to the lower level, both at no cost to the county. Unfortunately, the high usage of the chair lift to the dining room burned out the motor so it can no longer be used. The repair of the chair lift is on the Trustees' priority list waiting to be addressed.
Like any other organization in this economy, the church struggles to pay their bills on time. While the county pays 50 percent of the heating bill, 45 percent of the electric bill, and 50 percent of the plowing bill, these bills are paid on time up front each month by the church. The church then waits anywhere from 45 to 90 days for the county to reimburse the church for their share.
Under the contract with the church, the county is responsible for cleaning their area of the kitchen, the dining room, the storage areas, and the stairs down to the dining area. This is the area in which the mold was found. The outdated equipment in this area was installed by and belongs to the county.
While the mealsite has been housed in the Methodist church, the facility has passed every inspection by the Department of Health, according to Roy Ross, chair of the church board of trustees.
The church gladly hosts the mealsite and considers it part of their outreach to the community. Other outreach programs include hosting the Boy Scouts and the high school baccalaureate service.
Ross has stated the church will gladly continue to house the mealsite for the county. The location of the First United Methodist Church allows several participants in the meal program to walk to the facility.

text: I'm travelling to Nwe York at the end of this month on business and plan to (a) take my camera and (b) bolt on a couple of days to see some of the city and make some photographs. I have reservations, however, regarding the number of x-ray machines my kit will pass during the trip. It therefore makes sense to me to buy film in NY and, if possible, to have it developed before I leave. To that end, can anyone, please, recommend: (a) suitable outlets for black & white film; and (b) competent film processors who would, by preference, process by hand rather than by machine. If it helps, I'll be staying at the Hudson Hotel (uptown I believe - though that doesn't mean a lot to me right now). Appreciate any suggestions LP

Here's a flashback from the 1980s of that upbeat young fella Ed Grimley, a character played by Martin Short on both SCTV and Saturday Night Live. This excerpt is not just a Thanksgiving skit, but also a takeoff of Rear Window, starring Ed Asner as the murderous neighbor. ("You're a dead man,Grimley!" Oh, Mr. Grant!)

Passengers rage as child defecates in plane seat
The etiquette of mainland Chinese travellers has again come under fire after a family allegedly allowed their child to defecate on the seat of a Delta Airlines flight from Beijing to Detroit.
Flight attendants and fellow passengers tried to have the child moved to the aircraft toilet, but both parents and grandparents who were accompanying the child were insistent, leaving the flight attendant no choice but to drop the subject, it was reported.
The child's parents spread newspaper on the airline seat and encouraged the child to relieve himself there, according to the Daily Mail.
The resulting odour quickly filled the cabin, sending disgusted passengers into a fury.
Chinese social network Weibo lit up after hearing the story, and condemned the family for disgracing their nation.
It's not the first time an incident like this has occurred; earlier this year a child was photographed passing motion on a domestic flight in China, and another was allowed to defecate in a train carriage in Hong Kong.
One woman allowed her son to answer nature's call at a restaurant table in Hong Kong, in a bottle she usually carried around for such purposes.
The woman's actions outraged residents of Hong Kong, to which she responded in an online forum as 'discrimination'.
Questionable etiquette has long been a cause of consternation amongst Hong Kongers, who routinely complain about the unrefined social habits of their 'nouveau-riche" mainland counterparts.
Asian media often reports on outrageous Chinese conduct overseas, which ranges from bad behaviour on planes such as refusing to switch off mobile phones, to disruptive, drunken passengers.
While any nationality can behave badly overseas, it's not nearly in the numbers reported for their Chinese counterparts.
Last year, a horrified Chinese tourist discovered scribbled Chinese language graffiti on a bas-relief in a 3500-year-old temple in Luxor, Egypt reading, "Ding Jinhao was here."
The blogger who discovered the graffiti deplored the behaviour of his countrymen abroad. "I'm so embarrassed I want to hide myself, " he said.
China has moved to educate its people on travel etiquette, with the National Tourism Administration issuing guidelines to the world's leading tourists urging them to refrain from littering, spitting or pushing in queues.
Hong Kong's Post magazine recently reported on a school of etiquette opening in Beijing, modelled along the lines of Swiss finishing schools, that will offer "exclusive clientele lessons in being classy".

text: I've noticed that the CMP is offering some M1 Carbine receivers. I'm thinking of building one up (or having Fulton Armory do it) for a shooter, and I see that CMP is offering some Plainfield and Universal receivers. Here's my question: are these receivers the same as the GI ones? I know that Universal had some non-spec stuff on theirs, but I don't know about the receivers, and I know almost nothing about the Plainfield carbines. Any help would be appreciated.

ASPIRING political leaders have forever sought to prove their credentials thus - challenging incumbent governments, offering policy alternatives, engaging in the contest of ideas. Once upon a time, that notion also included bipartisanship in the national interest.
But, as Barry Jones, the erstwhile federal minister, lamented last week, serious debate on ideological issues is being usurped by a managerial approach to politics. Political parties obsessed with polling and focus groups, and politics played as blood sport, with its attendant tribalism and biffo, are undermining the quality of public discourse and encouraging the view, according to Mr Jones, that ''there is no point in raising serious issues months or years before an election''.
Such caution would seem to sum up the playbook of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, whose relentless negativity is a source of much criticism, and who has so far offered little detail about his alternative vision for Australia. Certainly, we know Mr Abbott's broad thrust: he promises to abolish Labor's carbon and mining taxes, and remodel the national broadband rollout. He says he will spend big on infrastructure while bolstering the armed services and winnowing government. He assures us he will do a better job combating climate change and says he can still deliver personal income and company tax cuts, as well as a paid parental leave scheme. Needless to say, the details have been thin.
There may be practical political reasons why politicians refuse to reveal early and in depth the policies they plan to implement if elected. They may want to present themselves as a small target. They may fear their opponents might steal their ideas. They may know that some of their policies may be unpopular, even if in the national interest. They might not want to draw attention away from their opponent, especially when their rival is in all manner of strife. Or they may not have detailed policies, or fear that the policies they do have won't withstand scrutiny.
A combination of these factors appears to be behind Mr Abbott's reluctance, so far, to spell out the detail of what he intends doing in the highly likely event that he becomes prime minister at the next election. He is not alone in his reluctance to tell us his plans in advance of an election campaign. This coyness is now a bipartisan political commonplace, not confined to Australia. In the United States, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney stands accused of the same fault.
Whatever the perceived political benefits of such a tactic, a refusal to enunciate detailed plans for the government of the country leads, in our view, to bad politics and bad policy. It reveals a cynical view of the Australian public, and underestimates their ability to make an informed judgment on what is best for them and what is best for the country.
The timing of Mr Jones' observations is doubly apt, with Federal Parliament set to resume after its winter break and expected to consider the report of three eminent Australians on a preferred policy for the treatment of asylum seekers, an issue that has bitterly divided the polity. Mr Abbott refused to engage in that process when his involvement could have helped provide a breakthrough on an issue that has called for statesmanship.
More generally, Mr Abbott's unwillingness to outline a vision for this nation beyond platitudes and a broad brush indicates a lack of faith in the good sense of voters. There are other issues at stake here, beyond mere political advantage. There are issues of leadership, on one hand, and, on the other, the public's right to know. Mr Abbott's hesitation is doubly curious. He is unchallenged as Opposition Leader, came within a whisker of victory in the 2010 election, and has what appears to be an unassailable lead over Labor. What has he got to lose?
...And another thing
THE Games of the XXX Olympiad are fast drawing to a close and with it London's turn in the sun. How brilliantly did one of the world's most stunning cities shine! Sadly, what seems to have been eclipsed by the near-constant bleating and whining over the course of 17 days of competition has been the brilliance of each and every competitor who wore the green and gold for Australia. Yes, gold medals are fabulous and for Olympians, striving for perfection and drilled relentlessly through years of training, must surely be like ''winning the lottery, but working for it'', as Ian Thorpe so aptly suggests. Nevertheless, The Sunday Age dips its lid to all who have made the Olympic grade and competed in the spirit of true sportsmanship, irrespective of their placing. Theirs has been a mighty effort. And though it may sound a tad corny, we reckon they are all winners.
