When the Danbury Planning Commission first considered Belimo Air Controls' plans to build a manufacturing plant on Turner Road, a neighbor questioned the traffic impact.
announced in April it was expanding in Danbury, and the proposed site is a former Novo Nordisk manufacturing plant, long abandoned on Turner Road. For details on this business expansion in Danbury, which will double the plant size and double the work force, check this story.
The April 12 story announcing this new factory said, "The deal is contingent on the city approving a site plan for a new factory on Turner Road, which is off Saw Mill Road at I-84's Exit 1. The new factory will replace the dilapidated and abandoned former Novo Nordisk factory on Turner Road. The old Turner Road facility has been closed for more than 15 years.

"They will have no problem with the permits," said Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton. The city's approval process for manufacturing plants also puts this project at the "top of the pile" for other approvals.
John Coppola, chief financial officer with Belimo, said Belimo has been growing in Danbury for 24 years, and the company agreed to expand again in Danbury because of the high quality of its 250 employees. The city also agreed to give the company a tax deferral on the new factory for seven years.
"This is right in the sweet spot for what we want to do in Danbury," said Bruce Tuomala, economic development director. "We want to keep what we have and grow what we have."
The Planning Commission is now considering the company's site plan for building the factory. Coppola said Belimo's plan is to demolish the old factory this summer and start construction in the fall.

The following information was supplied by the Southold Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate guilt.
After two Mattituck women were arrested earlier this month on charges of stealing delivered packages off the porches of Aquebogue residents, Southold Town Police report on Sunday that stolen property has been returned to 33 more individuals from Laurel to Orient in Southold Town. This will most likely results in 33 counts of misdemeanor larceny charges, police said.
The investigation is still active and charges are pending, and a number of unclaimed items are still being held. If you feel you may have been a victim and are missing property, please contact Southold Town Police Det. Harned at 631-765-2974.

Wouldn't our town meetings be so boring if there wasn't anything to fight about? He's not making any promises but Branford resident Joe Brummer*, who is the Associate Executive Director of Community Mediation, Inc. in New Haven, is working towards the day where that may be a possibility.
Engaged in dialogues with the , and , Brummer is hoping to establish mediation training and services as a town-wide initiative–the first of its kind in Connecticut.
Since 2006, Brummer, who was to the Board of Directors of the National Association for Community Mediation, said he's been hoping to offer mediation services on a large scale for a town. "Wouldn't it be nice to come into a whole town and teach conflict management skills?" He commented. "Wouldn't it be a nice place live?"
This town effort was initiated by a chance meeting between Brummer and Branford Chief of Police, at a recent restorative justice conference at the University of New Haven.
Soon after their meeting, Brummer sat down with DeCarlo, Deputy Chief Tom Fowler and Community Mediation Executive Director Brenda Cavanaugh to see how the center's skills could be incorporated into the police department. A second meeting involved Second Selectman Francis Walsh who was interested in working with Brummer; a third meeting included Superintendent of schools, Hamlet Hernandez.
Brummer, through Community Mediation, Inc. in New Haven, has already begun work with the police department but is waiting for local grant funding to make this town-wide effort possible. Brummer estimates that the initiative will require $30,000 to $50,000 for a sustainable, three-year pilot.
So what exactly is mediation and when do you use it?
Brummer explained that mediation is a practice of allowing two disagreeing sides to work through their problems and come to some sort of solution. Though the New Haven-based organization, which is one of the oldest in the country boasts a high success rate, Brummer added, "Success doesn't necessarily mean agreement; it means you walk away understanding each other a little better."
Brummer continued, "Conflict is a guarantee. Whether or not you handle it adversarial or collaboratively is the key to whether or not you have pleasant meetings."
For town hall, Brummer is hoping to get employees trained in mediation skills so they can handle potential issues better. "When there is a conflict," said Brummer, "like taxes or , there is an answer immediately. That's what we are working towards here."
Additional services to the town would be Community Mediation's offering to take referred cases. Currently, Community Mediation has taken several referred cases from the Branford Police Department according to Brummer, though none have gone to mediation. All of these cases, shared Brummer, involve neighbor disputes. Community Mediation contacts both parties and offers services with an example of how mediation works; there is no obligation for parties to participate.
More recently, the Police Department and the town have enlisted Community Mediation trained volunteers to attend a neighborhood meeting between Indian Neck residents and the East Shore District Health Department regarding a dispute over an upcoming clamming event. The trained mediators will facilitie dialog for the meeting.
Branford Patch had a first-hand experience of how mediation works last week at Quinnipiac University where legal studies students mock-mediated a conflict between two parties as part of a final exam for Professor Jessica Hynes.
Mediation begins when two parties agree to the service voluntarily. A trained mediator explains that mediation is an opportunity for two people or groups to voice their sides of an issue–all meditations are confidential and nothing said during a mediation can be legally binding. The next phase is for each party to have uninterrupted time to share his or her side of the issue. A mediator then sets an agenda to find out what needs each party has and what problems are present.
"On the surface," said Brummer, "it seems like one big conflict but it never is. It's a series of small ones." Breaking down conflict, said Brummer, means just that. Mediation, said Brummer, "Is intended to get people past their positions and down to interests, which is mediation lingo for let's get to the root of this quicker."
Quicker is an important word when it comes to the added value of Branford enlisting mediation services across the board. Trained conflict management individuals, said Brummer, can evaluate a situation and know what to look for in less time. In the case of the Police Department, officers are often in the thick of conflict. A trained mediator can turn a 40-minute police visit into a 20-minute call, said Brummer. "That's a lot of wasted tax-payer dollars to go out for things that don't belong in a police officer's hands."
On a recent ride-along with Branford Police Officer Raashad Roach, Brummer witnessed the officer mediate between neighbors over a misunderstanding about newspaper delivery. Roach was able to get to the root of the matter for the two parties. "That's mediation," said Brummer.
The neighbor disputes that sometimes end up in breach of peace conflicts, disorderly conduct or minor assault will end up in the legal system if arrests occur. Those cases, ones that do not involve weapons, have a great chance of ending up in mediation through Community Mediation's partnership with the Court Support Service Division of New Haven GA 23 court. About 80 cases per month are referred from CSSD to the Community Mediation according to Brummer. If a mediation can be done, some cases are thrown out of court and/or charges and fines can be reduced.
When it comes to working with the school system, Brummer explained that 85 to 90 percent of juvenile cases–conflict between youths–revolve around social media and online bullying. "Since social networking started, this has been a growing issue," said Brummer. "There have been horrific events because of electronic bullying."
"In New Haven you get a lot of bullying and fights that are physical and when you get into Branford it doesn't mean there is less violence, it's more passive violence."
Brummer and Hernandez have talked about bringing mediation training to peer helper groups in Branford schools–something Brummer has done with more than four magnet schools in New Haven.
The global goal of bringing mediation to Branford can mean many things for all town services including the start of better relations where it may be needed and the strengthening of strong existing efforts. When it comes down to the core of it, Brummer is hoping that through his work with Branford, people will start to understand more about what mediation is. "I think people are skeptical. I don't think people realize there can be a really good outcome when you get through all the muck."
Starting Monday, May 16, Community Mediation will be offering online counseling services through a blog on Branford Patch. Read more about the and how your conflicts can be mediated.
Community Mediation offers services to all people in need. Businesses and organizations will pay around $250 for initial consultation and the first mediation. Meditations for general public are offered on a sliding fee scale and can costs between $5 and $75 per session. For more information, check out Community Mediation online.

One Response to Historic Property Giveaways – Brian Rodgers
· The Historic Landmarks Program in Austin has been a successful investment in the tax base. Landmarks have helped stabilize and preserve entire neighborhoods as well as individual elements of our City's history.
· The City Council has adopted a resolution that puts us on track for major improvements in the program and limits the financial outlay so that resources are focused where they are most needed.
· The success of the newly-structured program depends heavily on the participation of the school district as the largest collector of property taxes. Without AISD participation, the tools for historic preservation in Austin would be decimated.
· The partnership among the taxing jurisdictions has lasted nearly 40 years because the interests of all are served by common investments in preservation.

The gunman who opened fire in Virginia Tech's Norris Hall, killing 30 people before turning the gun on himself, was "one of our students," university President Charles Steger said Tuesday.The shooter was an Asian male who lived in a Virginia Tech dormitory, the president said, declining to provide further details.Steger added that he was still uncertain whether the gunman at Norris was the one who fatally shot two people in a dorm two hours earlier.However, the president said he didn't think a second gunman was on the loose.University police Chief Wendell Flinchum said Monday night police have a preliminary identification of one gunman, but they were not ready to release it. The university and police are still in the process of releasing the names of the 32 people killed in Monday's shootings.A doctor at a Blacksburg hospital described the injuries he saw Monday as "amazing" and the shooter as "brutal.""There wasn't a shooting victim that didn't have less than three bullet wounds in them," said Dr. Joseph Cacioppo of Montgomery Regional Hospital.Even among the less serious injuries, Cacioppo said, "we saw one patient that had a bullet wound to the wrist, one to the elbow and one to the thigh. We had another one with a bullet wound to the abdomen, one to the chest and one to the head."A law enforcement source close to the investigation said a .22-caliber handgun and a 9 mm handgun were recovered at the scene.
"I think the university has blood on their hands because of their lack of action after the first incident," said Billy Bason, 18, who lives on the seventh floor of the dorm.Student Maurice Hiller said he went to a 9 a.m. class two buildings away from the engineering building, and no warnings were coming over the outdoor public address system on campus at the time.Everett Good, junior, said of the lack of warning: "I'm trying to figure that out. Someone's head is definitely going to roll over that.""We were kept in the dark a lot about exactly what was going on," said Andrew Capers Thompson, a 22-year-old graduate student from Walhalla, S.C.
As Jews worldwide honored on Monday the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust, a 75-year-old survivor sacrificed his life to save his students in Monday's shooting at Virginia Tech College that left 32 dead and over two dozen wounded.Professor Liviu Librescu, 76, threw himself in front of the shooter, who had attempted to enter his classroom. The Israeli mechanics and engineering lecturer was shot to death, "but all the students lived - because of him," Virginia Tech student Asael Arad - also an Israeli - told Army Radio.Several of Librescu's other students sent e-mails to his wife, Marlena, telling of how he blocked the gunman's way and saved their lives, said the son, Joe.
**** UPDATE #3, 04/17/07: The shooter has now been identified as a South Korean national. ******** UPDATE #2: The shooter has now been identified as a Chinese national here on a student visa. Lovely. Yet another reason to stop letting in so many foreign students. ******** UPDATE: Shootings appear professional, says expert; VTU Alum on school's "Asian" Population; 2nd Amenment-Free Campus/VTU lobbied against students having guns on campus for personal protection ****Here's what we know about the murderer of at least 32 students and maimer of at least 28 more at Virginia Tech, today:* The murderer has been identified by law enforcement and media reports as "a young Asian male."* The Virginia Tech campus has a very large Muslim community, many of which are from Pakistan (per terrorism investigator Bill Warner).* Pakis are considered "Asian."
With a view to Monday's deadly shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, European newspapers are blaming the lack of gun control measures in the United States and implying that Charlton Heston is indirectly responsible for the scope of the killings.
Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking some women.Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression. They are examining Cho's computer for more evidence."He was very quiet, always by himself,"[...]"He was a loner," said Larry Hincker, a university spokesman, who added that investigators are having some difficulty unearthing information about him.[...] "There was some concern about him," [Professor Carolyn] Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."She said Cho was referred to the counseling service, but she said she did not know when, or what the outcome was.
The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to sources. They said Cho also died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on one of his arms.[...]A note believed to have been written by Cho was found in his dorm room that railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.
You probably already know this, but in James Fennimore Cooper's story "The Prairie," the settler Ishmael Bush, who is attempting to escape from civilization, sets out across the prairie with two key tools, a gun and an axe. Each has a symbolic meaning. The axe — which can either kill or provide shelter — stands for both creation and destruction. Given that the VT killer was an English major, might this be the likely meaning of the words on his arm? Just my two cents.
From what I understand, due to the high winds yesterday, no area hospitals (or the VA State Police) were flying helicopters. Thus, all of the wounded—even the most critical victims—had to be transported to hospitals via ambulance. On a normal day, the most critically injured could have been transported by air to Roanoke or even UVA Hospital in Charlottesville. With the helicopters grounded, UVA was no longer an option at all and Roanoke was a 20-30min drive, which left smaller, regional hospitals—less equipped to deal with very serious injuries—to handle most of the victims.
It's unfounded speculation like this I find incredibly offensive.

Now, at 28 and not even an Associates degree, I'm what you might call "slow" when it comes to college (I'm getting my act together though).But 14 years as a lit major?
But 14 years as a lit major?
Q Columbine, Amish school shooting, now this, and a whole host of other gun issues brought into schools — that's not including guns on the streets and in many urban areas and rural areas. Does there need to be some more restrictions? Does there need to be gun control in this country?
Gun control works quite well actually. The law-abiding citizens who may want guns have a tough time getting them. When it comes to criminals, the laws are (as they always are for those who set to break them) meaningless and useless.
First, perpetrators have a long history of frustration and failure and a diminished ability to cope with life's disappointments.Second, they externalize blame, frequently complaining that others didn't give them a chance. Sometimes they argue that their ethnic or racial group or gender isn't getting the breaks that others are.Third, these killers generally lack emotional support from friends or family. You've read the "he always seemed to be something of a loner" quote? It has a grounding in reality.Fourth, they generally suffer a precipitating event they view as catastrophic. This is most often some sort of major disappointment: the loss of a job or the breakup of a relationship.Fifth, they need access to a weapon powerful enough to satisfy their need for revenge.
If they had anything like we had here in GA, it was a wind no helicopter would be able to fly in.
Fifth, they need access to a weapon powerful enough to satisfy their need for revenge.
Also, one of the doc's said that even the "merely" wounded had at least three gunshot wounds.

The Obama administration last week brokered what looked like a promising deal to end the political crisis in Honduras. Sadly, this week it already is fraying. The de facto leaders of Honduras are foot-dragging, prompting President Manuel Zelaya, whom they ousted in a civilian-military coup four months ago, to issue an ultimatum from his refuge in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital.
Both sides need to stand down and focus on restoring democracy before the country's Nov. 29 presidential election. The Obama administration, meanwhile, must hold firm to its principles and quit backing away from its stated belief that Zelaya should be allowed to serve out the remaining three months of his term.

Before I get into the particulars of the , I'd like to first say thank you to Andy Sheehan, the president of the club. He's been the leader of the club for more than 30 years. We need to thank him before we discuss any issues.
Now onto the saga of the . ... No one seems to know what's going on – not the board, the trustees of the club, the neighbors, or members of the club. Right there is the problem – a lack of communication.
Had the leaders of the club told the fledgling membership of the dire financial problems, maybe there wouldn't have been an invite-only meeting on Tuesday at the to discuss the future of the club.
Paul Kilgariff, the club's longtime attorney, came to answer questions, of which there were many. He looked tired, somewhat beaten down by the closure of the club, but he also continually rebuffed any suggestions to keep the club going. It seemed like he felt the leadership of the club had already decided they had done all they could to save the club.
Kilgariff said the club recently lost $16,000 in a four-month span from November through February. He also pointed to this past St. Patrick's Day's event, at which, after the band was paid, et al, Kilgariff said it would've made better financial sense to remain closed that night because of such a small attendance.
Yet members young and old believe very little has been done to keep the club going.
Member Kathleen Adams (one of the few members on Tuesday night who didn't have gray hair) presented the most recent bulletin for the club that made no mention of the dire financial straits of the club. It listed there was a business meeting for the club, but failed to mention if they didn't raise enough money soon, the club would have to close.
The club, and specifically Sheehan, has rejected many people and groups through the years who wanted to rent out the space. Richard Archer, president of the Knights and Ladies of St. Finbarr Cork Club, said Sheehan said "no" to him three years ago when the Cork Club wanted to rent the club on Park Street.
State Rep. Ed Coppinger, D-West Roxbury, organized the meeting, and can tell you plenty of stories about residents being told no repeatedly when they inquired about coming into or renting the club. On Tuesday night, Coppinger, who I've never seen or heard flustered before (the guy has four daughters!), was just that – agitated. With frustration in his voice, Coppinger asked Kilgariff why no one had been notified of the club's problems. To be honest, Kilgariff danced around in a very lawyer-like way throughout the meeting.
By all accounts, it sounds as if Sheehan has an iron will and influences the trustees and the board – so much so, in fact, that several members didn't know they voted a couple of weeks ago to sell the club's building. Coppinger has confirmed with several members they were unaware of what they voted on. Sheehan is also supposedly the only person who has keys to the club - the only person. Sheehan did not attend the Tuesday meeting.
As it stands now, the club has given back its liquor and entertainment licenses, but those aren't the seven-day licenses that are greatly coveted in the city. I have a feeling that Coppinger and West Roxbury District Councilor Matt O'Malley will be able to get those licenses returned to the club, as they have said they could if the club lives on.
Kilgariff said the club needs about $100,000 in renovations for a new fire alarm system, roof repairs and other jobs.
Many club members were at the Tuesday meeting and said they would happily work on fundraisers to raise the money needed and to keep the club going. One member said a recent fundraiser garnered $43,000 in one night – a simple fundraiser run by another Irish club. Heck, if they can do it, so can the Irish Social Club of Boston.
Club member Patrick Casey also asked a line of rapid-fire questions that have been on everyone's mind, which Kilgariff answered:
- The liquor of the club was sold for $3,000 to Martin Bligh of the Corrib.
- The pictures on the walls of the club are still in the building and have not been removed.
- As of March, the club's treasury had $26,000. The club has a mortgage of $35,000.
- The club is not working with a realtor to sell the building.
The money is a lot, but everyone tells me that the Irish community can come together and raise the funds to keep the club going and prosper. I don't doubt it. I've seen many Parkway fundraisers and I'm always impressed how the West Roxbury community comes together. This time, we're not drawing on just West Roxbury. We're talking about the whole Irish community within the area. If we can't raise the funds to keep the Irish Social Club of Boston going, then it doesn't deserve to keep on living.
There's also already good news: On Tuesday night, the club also had a generous donation of $5,000 offered by Jim Calvey, secretary of the Cork Club. Previously, .
Another ray of light shone through the clouds as board members agreed to allow a fundraiser to raise the necessary funds to hopefully keep the club going, said Coppinger on Friday.
All the members want is the chance to save their club from closing. After more than 65+ years of the club being in Boston, the Irish community deserves the chance to save their own club.

Great all around touring SUP. Super initial and secondary stability..great glide as well. This is not a stretched out surfboard; it has much better glide and is smooth in all kinds of water. Best deal in the category also.
- Stable Fast Light

Comments about BOARDWORKS Raven 12'6" Stand Up Paddleboard:
Awesome board! Super light and easy to maneuver yet very stable. This is the perfect board for my location(upstate NY) as there really is nowhere to surf but theres tons of flat water paddling. This SUP is an amazing looking board with the wood inlay and graphics. There are definitely imperfections which I think are cool looking as they gave it that handmade look. These displacement hulls are the way to go for flat water and the extra room allows my 2 year old son to ride on the front. Super cool board and sport. I'm hooked.

July 31, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas forward Dexter Pittman says he's staying in school and will not make himself eligible for the NBA draft.
Pittman, who is 6-foot-10 and about 300 pounds, averaged 10.1 points and 5.5 rebounds last season as a junior. Those numbers jumped to 15.4 points and 10.4 rebounds in five games in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, raising questions about whether he would leave early.
Pittman said Wednesday he considered following rules that would have let him put his name in the draft to allow him to work out with NBA teams and still return to college. But Pittman says he decided against that option, leaving the NBA for the future.

Damn, I wish I'd thought of this before! I'm going to start looking at people's emblems now! Saw a swastika earlier but missed the player's GT. I actually think that a lot of kids don't realise what it signifies. Lets face it, if you're ignorant (which, sadly a **** load of people are - or they are just too young to know), it just means something to do with Germany and the Second World War.
Anyway, I'm going to enjoy this...
well work is drawing to a close.
this thread has turned into a pile of rubish speaking nothing to the OP.
see everyone one on the internets.
Ok I agree with punishing people for cheatng. but i dont agree with getting punish for emblems, Sexual who cares, Swastikas dont complain if jews put david stars all over why swastikas are offencive. then both are equaly wrong.

|Ferrofluids belonging to the series NixFe1 xFe2O4 were synthesised by two different procedures—one by standard co-precipitation techniques, the other by co-precipitation for synthesis of particles and dispersion aided by high-energy ball milling with a view to understand the effect of strain and size anisotropy on the magneto-optical properties of ferrofluids. The birefringence measurements were carried out using a standard ellipsometer. The birefringence signal obtained for chemically synthesised samples was satisfactorily fitted to the standard second Langevin function. The ball-milled ferrofluids showed a deviation and their birefringence was enhanced by an order. This large enhancement in the birefringence value cannot be attributed to the increase in grain size of the samples, considering that the grain sizes of sample synthesised by both modes are comparable; instead, it can be attributed to the lattice strain-induced shape anisotropy(oblation) arising from the high-energy ball-milling process. Thus magnetic-optical (MO) signals can be tuned by ball-milling process, which can find potential applications.
|Superparamagnetic nanocomposites based on Y-Fe2O3 and sulphonated polystyrene were synthesised by ion-exchange process and the structural characterisation has been carried out using X-ray diffraction technique. Doping of cobalt in to the Y-Fe2O3 lattice was effected in situ and the doping was varied in the atomic percentage range 1–10. The optical absorption studies show a band gap of 2.84 eV, which is blue shifted by 0.64 eV when compared to the reported values for the bulk samples (2.2 eV). This is explained on the basis of weak quantum confinement. Further size reduction can result in a strong confinement, which can yield transparent magnetic nanocomposites because of further blue shifting. The band gap gets red shifted further with the addition of cobalt in the lattice and this red shift increases with the increase in doping. The observed red shift can be attributed to the strain in the lattice caused by the anisotropy induced by the addition of cobalt. Thus, tuning of bandgap and blue shifting is aided by weak exciton confinement and further red shifting of the bandgap is assisted by cobalt doping.
|Ferrofluids belonging to the series, Ni x Fe1-x Fe2O4 and Zn x Fe1-x Fe2O4, were synthesized using cold co-precipitation. Liquid films of these ferrofluids were prepared by encapsulating the ferrofluids in between two optically smooth and ultrasonically cleaned glass plates. Magnetic field induced laser transmission through these ferrofluid films has been investigated. Magnetic field values can be calibrated in terms of output laser power in the low field region in which the variation is linear. This set up can be used as a cheap optical gaussmeter in the low field regime. Using the same set-up, the saturation magnetization of the sample used can also be calculated with a sample that is pre-characterized. Hence both magnetization of the sample, as well as applied magnetic field can be sensed and calculated with a precalibrated sample.
|Department of Physics, Cochin University of Science & Technology
|Fine magnetic particles (size≅100 Å) belonging to the series ZnxFe1−xFe2O4 were synthesized by cold co-precipitation methods and their structural properties were evaluated using X-ray diffraction. Magnetization studies have been carried out using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) showing near-zero loss loop characteristics. Ferrofluids were then prepared employing these fine magnetic powders using oleic acid as surfactant and kerosene as carrier liquid by modifying the usually reported synthesis technique in order to induce anisotropy and enhance the magneto-optical signals. Liquid thin films of these fluids were prepared and field-induced laser transmission through these films was studied. The transmitted light intensity decreases at the centre with applied magnetic field in a linear fashion when subjected to low magnetic fields and saturate at higher fields. This is in accordance with the saturation in cluster formation. The pattern exhibited by these films in the presence of different magnetic fields was observed with the help of a CCD camera and was recorded photographically.

A high-risk Canadian sex offender who had disappeared and then crossed into the U.S. at Blaine has been located in Seattle.
Canadian authorities had been looking for Michael Sean Stanley since before his crossing Oct. 7. Stanley is a U.S. citizen but has a long history of sexual offenses against women and children in Canada, according to Associated Press reports. He has been imprisoned in that country before and had recently cut off his ankle-monitoring bracelet, according to news reports.
Seattle police, working with U.S. Marshals, found him in downtown Seattle Thursday, Oct. 17, according to the police department's online blotter.
Because Canadian authorities have declined to extradite him and with no information that he's committed any crimes in the U.S., local police can't arrest him.
Seattle police have ordered him to register as a sex offender, as required by law. If he fails to do so, he is subject to arrest.

Former Gov. Strickland will not seek re-election
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is not seeking to challenge Republican incumbent John Kasich in the 2014 gubernatorial election.
Strickland –– who held the office from 2007 to 2011 –– issued a statement on Monday through the Ohio Democratic Party that dispelled rumors of his potential candidacy, calling it a " very difficult" decision to not seek re-election.
In the statement, Strickland reflected fondly upon his time as Ohio's 68th governor –– thanking his wife, executive staff, cabinet and President Barack Obama.
"With the help of President Obama, who provided the funds necessary to keep Ohio and all of America from slipping into another Great Depression, we were able to preserve the social safety net, make important investments in education, and position Ohio's economy for the recovery that started in February 2010," Strickland said in the statement.
Strickland served as co-chair for President Obama's re-election campaign, introducing both the President and Vice President Joe Biden at their respective stops in Athens this fall.
Though the presidential campaign is finished, Strickland said he and his wife would still be instruments for progressive politics in the state.
"Frances and I will continue to be politically active private citizens. We will continue to stand with working men and women to build a stronger Ohio —and to defeat anti-worker and anti-middle class legislation that may arise," he said.

---- — Police, lifeguards and United States Coast Guards officials responded to a report of a missing person on Good Harbor Beach Sunday around 3:30 p.m.
A police report indicates that a 51-year-old man from Canterbury Road in Newton was reported missing after four hours, walking off around 11 a.m.
The beach was cleared of all swimmers by lifeguards using their bullhorns and police using their all terrain vehicle sirens; Salt Island was also cleared of beachgoers as police officers waded out to the island.
After a U.S. Coast Guard and Gloucester police boat search began, a lifeguard was spotted escorting the man down the beach.
According to police, the man apologized for wasting everyone's time, but as the beach patron returned, he was greeted with a standing ovation and applause from other patrons, the report states.
"The lifeguard did a great job with all who were in the water, clearing out thousands of people swimming is not an easy task," the report reads.
Police arrested a Washington Street man Saturday just after 1 p.m. after police received a report about a possible domestic disturbance on that thoroughfare.
According to police, the person who reported the incident was waiting outside of Ed's Mini Mart, and was afraid to go back into the Washington Street apartment of Samuel Parsons, 35. A two-year-old child was also in the apartment, police said.
When the reporting party arrived at Parsons' apartment, he began throwing items at her, and a piece of wood hit her right calf, according to police.
Parsons told police the woman reporting the incident was the one responsible for the items strewn throughout the apartment. But police then arrested and charged Parsons with domestic assault and battery.
A road rage incident on Saturday around 7 a.m. resulted in the arrest of a Washington Street woman.
Police were sent to the Dunkin Donuts on Washington Street after Taylor Geden, 23, nearly struck a pedestrian, according to the police report. Police then stopped Geden by Tally's Corner at the foot of Washington Street.
Geden denied anything about the incident and left, but police were then notified that Geden had a suspended license.
Police caught up with Geden on Derby Street and asked for her license. The report indicates that Geden got out of her car, continued walking, and eventually tired to hit the police officer.
She was arrested and criminal complaints are being sought for operating a motor vehicle after suspension, resisting arrest and failure to stop for a police officer.
A Rockport man will be facing charges of drunken driving and other complaints after an incident n which police initially stopped him for driving 92 miles per hour on northbound Route 128 northbound Sunday, just before 2 a.m. near Exit 12.
According to police, Daniel Bates, 23 of South Street, was stopped on a speeding charge, and officers detected what they said was a strong smell of alcohol. Bates failed a number of field sobriety tests; he also had a blood-alcohol concentration of .14, police said, nearly double the legal limit of .08.
Bates was charged with speeding, a marked lane violation, driving under the influence of alcohol and was issued a civil citation for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

Dubourdieu on 2008 bordeaux
Denis Dubourdieu, Bordeaux academic and wine producer who has done so much to imrove the quality of white bordeaux, was in London this week to oversee a tasting of a wide range of dry whites from his native region, on which I will be reporting. I took advantage of his presence to ask the question that is still far from resolved: what is vintage 2008 like in Bordeaux? He takes six minutes to answer in considerably more detail than Hubert de Bouard had time to here .

America is dependent on our coal because it is abundant; it is affordable; and it is critical to our energy security to protect all Americans from the hostile and unstable governments from which much of our Country's energy is currently imported.
Today, low cost electricity is the staple of life for all Americans, and fifty-two percent (52%) of this electricity is generated from coal. Further, coal-fired electricity is, by far, the lowest cost - - about one-fourth (1/4) to one-third (1/3) of the cost of natural gas-fired electricity. Moreover, the Energy Information Agency states that electricity consumption in America will rise forty-one percent (41%) between now and 2030. It is projected that, over the next twenty years (20) or so, coal must be counted on to generate fifty-seven percent (57%) of America's electricity, which cannot be replaced by any other form of generation - - not natural gas, nuclear, or water, and certainly not renewables.
Presently, our industry is under fierce attack and faces tremendous challenges from multiple fronts. In fact, despite America's tremendous need for coal, certain politicians and even some American companies are misleading the public and attempting to steer the American people away from the use of coal for their own individual benefits. But, these groups fail to describe the certain destruction that we will see as a result of their efforts to eliminate coal use in America. Indeed, coal is essential to the lives of millions of working Americans and for those on fixed incomes who depend on low cost electricity for the maintenance of their jobs and living standards. Without question, the elimination of coal will further destroy the competitiveness of American products in the global marketplace. Clearly, America is at a critical crossroads.
In spite of the many challenges facing today's coal industry, Murray Energy Corporation has become one of the most reliable and efficient coal producers in America. Our first priority is the safety of our miners. And, only after we have ensured their safety will we focus on the remaining aspects of our business.
With constant focus on miner safety and mining excellence, Murray Energy Corporation and its subsidiary companies provides a safe, low cost, high quality product to its electric utility and industry customers domestically and abroad. Once delivered, our product is transformed into low cost electricity that is utilized to provide affordable and dependable power to hospitals, schools, American businesses, cities, and to the homes of millions of Americans.
America's energy independence and America's future are dependent on the utilization of our Nation's most abundant fuel source… COAL….

New home found for Sophie Lancaster Foundation
3:47pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News
THE Sophie Lancaster Foundation has moved to a new home in Haslingden town centre.
The charity, set up after Sophie's murder in Bacup in 2007, faced a period of uncertainty after it was announced its old home, the Agapao Impact Centre in Bury Road, was to be controversially sold off by its owners.
But the group's spokesman Kate Conboy-Greenwood confirmed it has moved into a new ground-floor office in Deardengate this week.
She said: "It's been a difficult time for us as Sylvia (Sophie's mum) has already spoken about. We needed security as we're always booked up and busy.
"We'll be fully up and running soon. At the moment we're just waiting for some deliveries and the internet and phones to be connected."
She added that the charity had been overwhlemed by the support shown by pupils on a recent visit to Mount Carmel High School in Accrington.
She said: "We sold 100 S.O.P.H.I.E. wristbands in 10 minutes, which is unheard of."
The Agapao site has been on the market with estate agency Trevor Dawson since November, but details of the property only went live on its website yesterday.
Haslingden MP Graham Jones raised the building's plight in Parliament in December after residents voiced concerns at a public meeting.

Most sawflies (Symphyta) are plant feeders and many species are pest insects in agriculture or forestry. Every year the larvae of diprionids (conifer or pine sawflies) defoliate large areas of conifer forests in Europe, Asia and North America. The most important effect of pine sawfly defoliation is reduced growth of the trees. In some areas chemical insecticides are used to reduce populations and damage. The general biology and distribution of these species are usually well known, whereas the chemical ecology of sawflies is less known, with exception of the family Diprionidae.
Within this project we attempt to characterize pheromones of different sawfly species, and so far emphasis has been on diprionid species. We also investigate the possibility to use pheromones for monitoring and control of sawflies. Until now the following diprionid species have been studied within the project: Diprion jingyuanensis, D. pini, D. similis, Gilpinia frutetorum, G. pallida, G. socia, Macrodiprion nemoralis, Microdiprion pallipes, Neodiprion dailingensis, N. sertifer. Preliminary investigations have also been done on the birch sawfly, Arge pullata (Argidae) and on Cephalcia species (Pamphiliidae).

As you undergo clinical breast exams, it's important to remember you know your body better than any doctor. If you've heard any of the following comments from your doctor, consider seeking a second opinion -- or another physician."You're too young to have breast cancer."
According to the American Cancer Society, about 75 percent of women who get breast cancer are age fifty or older. But it's estimated that 9,000 American women, aged forty and younger, will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. "And by and large, younger women have more aggressive tumors," says Susan Miesfeldt, M.D., director of the Cancer Genetics Clinic at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, in Charlottesville.
Doctors recommend that all women begin breast self-exams at age twenty. "It's a way to become familiar with what's normal for your breast tissue," says Miesfeldt.
In 1998, the American Cancer Society (ACS) revised its guidelines and made forty the age when women should begin having annual mammograms. "Before, we were recommending mammography every one to two years in the forties," says Joann Schellenbach, an ACS spokesperson. But recent Swedish studies found a 30 percent decrease in breast-cancer deaths on average when women in their forties have annual mammograms.
Not true. Hereditary breast cancer is the exception, not the rule. It accounts for only about 10 percent of cases. In the other 90 percent, cells become cancerous spontaneously with no known cause.
A good doctor will carefully review your family history to find out if you might have inherited a genetic mutation that indicates a higher risk. The biggest clue: numerous close relatives who had the disease, especially at young ages. "People concentrate on mothers and sisters, but it's important to look at the whole family," says Miesfeldt. "Breast cancer can be passed down from the father's side."
You're still at risk. However, the risk would be even higher if your mother had developed the disease when she was younger. Here's why: When a woman inherits a mutation in the breast-cancer gene, most doctors agree that the disease will probably emerge before menopause (if she develops it -- and not all do). That's why, if your mother had early breast cancer, you have twice the average risk of developing it.
If your mother gets breast cancer after menopause, the chance that her disease has a genetic component is reduced. Still, in a small percentage of cases, postmenopausal breast cancers do have genetic roots. So, even if your mother's late-onset breast cancer is the only known case in your family, your own risk of developing the disease is 1.4 times higher than average.
The bottom line: Tell your doctor about family members with breast and other cancers -- no matter when the disease was diagnosed. She may recommend having a baseline mammogram in your twenties or thirties, with follow-up tests every year.
It's not that simple. This blood test raises difficult questions about everything from family relationships to employment discrimination and insurance coverage.
"It's absolutely essential to have genetic counseling before deciding to undergo testing," says Claudine Isaacs, M.D., medical director of the Cancer Assessment and Risk Evaluation Program at Georgetown University's Lombardi Cancer Center, in Washington, D.C. "What's appropriate is for the doctor to say, 'There may be a hereditary component to the cancer in your family, and I would suggest that you get genetic counseling to consider testing.'"
Prior to testing, the counselor takes a detailed family history, assesses your genetic risk and helps plan your response to results. If the genetic mutation is discovered, some patients choose to screen more vigilantly; others opt to surgically remove healthy breasts in a controversial procedure called prophylactic mastectomy. Studies are currently under way to determine whether taking the drug tamoxifen can decrease breast-cancer risk in carriers of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.
"Unlike other medical tests, genetic testing doesn't just affect the individual," says Isaacs. "If a woman tests positive, it affects her sisters and even her cousins."
In fact, high-risk families should have a group discussion about testing. "The best person to test first is the family member most likely to have the gene mutation -- the one who developed breast cancer at an early age," recommends Isaacs. If the relative with cancer doesn't have the mutation, getting healthy family members tested probably does not make sense. She may have an as-yet-unknown mutation that can't be tested, so the result may be a false negative. If she does have a known mutation, "then when her healthy sister gets a negative test result, it's far more likely that that's a true negative," explains Isaacs.
When your doctor prescribes a mammogram, get information on mammography centers he recommends. "The more barriers a doctor can remove for the patient-cost, location or even providing the phone number-the easier it is for the patient to comply with his instructions," says Coscarelli. And, if your mammography center has a good working relationship with your doctor, you may get the advantage of a "team" approach to care.
The 1992 Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) states that all mammography facilities in the United States must be certified by the Food and Drug Administration. To get certification, a center must produce films that are clear enough to reveal even small cancers, have X-ray equipment that uses a low level of radiation and employ radiologists who read a minimum of 480 mammograms a year and continue required courses in the field.
"These are stringent requirements," says Judy Destouet, M.D., a member of the American College of Radiology's Breast Task Force. "No other test in radiology requires that kind of monitoring."
In finding a center on your own, also ask whether it offers cutting-edge diagnostic tools. For example, core needle biopsy, introduced in the early nineties, allows a surgeon or radiologist to retrieve a tissue sample that a pathologist can screen for cancerous cells. The procedure can be done (with your doctor's permission) as soon as a mammogram reveals the lump. Not only will you avoid the more invasive traditional biopsy surgery, you bypass the anxiety-ridden week or longer you might have spent waiting to get that procedure scheduled and done.
This is no time for blame. Preliminary results of a recent large-scale study conducted in China found that women who were taught to do self-exams were more likely to get lumps checked out. But those who were diagnosed with cancer survived no longer than women who had cancer but had not done self-exams.
However, finding tumors early is linked to survival. And, in the absence of a test that detects precancerous cells (as the Pap test does for cervical cancer), mammography is the best method of early detection.
"By the time you can feel a tumor, it's about two centimeters in diameter and it may have been there for as long as eight to ten years," says Susan M. Love, M.D., adjunct professor of surgery at UCLA School of Medicine and author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (Addison-Wesley, 1995).
Statistics aside, however, she advocates knowing your own breast tissue. "If you do feel something abnormal," Love says, "see a doctor and get it checked out."
Most lumps are not cancer, according to the ACS. But your doctor should be able to pinpoint exactly what it is. Cysts, fibroadenomas, pseudolumps and even premenstrual lumpiness are a few possible explanations. Make sure the appropriate tests are done to confirm a diagnosis. If there's any doubt, ask for a biopsy.
When your doctor is vague, or if his diagnosis leaves you dissatisfied, seek another opinion. Don't be reluctant to press the issue: The number-one cause of medical malpractice suits in this country is the delayed diagnosis of breast cancer, according to the ACS.
This comment may seem harmless, but "when a woman's waiting for the results of her biopsy, she's in incredible distress," says Coscarelli. She cites a recent case in which a woman's doctor was on an airplane when her test results came in: "The woman had been instructed to call the pathologist for her results on Friday. But by six o'clock, she hadn't been able to reach anyone and she was devastated at the prospect of worrying all weekend." She contacted Coscarelli, who was able to relay a message to the doctor when his plane landed; the patient got her results that evening.
To avoid communication glitches, Coscarelli advises asking specific questions in advance: If I have the test today, when will you get the results? If you're not available, who else can give me the results? Should I call your office or make an appointment? Can we plan a telephone call at a specific time? Keep in mind that test results may be delayed for legitimate medical reasons. "Sometimes the pathologist needs a little more time," Coscarelli notes.
"When a doctor says that, you're in the wrong place," says Theodore Tyberg, M.D., clinical associate professor of medicine at Cornell University Medical College, in New York City, and co-author of Hospital Smarts. "It's a real no-no, especially for breast cancer or any other life-threatening illness."
Don't be intimidated. A good doctor will expect -- and even encourage -- you to seek another opinion. A second opinion can be deeply empowering for patients. When it confirms your original diagnosis, you'll begin your treatment feeling confident. And, if it turns up new information, you and your doctor will gain insight into your case.
However, your doctors may well disagree on treatment options. This is especially common when you consult doctors from different specialities, such as a radiologist, breast surgeon, pathologist and oncologist. You may end up with an overwhelming amount of information, but you don't need to digest it alone. Insist that the various doctors handling your case discuss your treatment. This type of team approach helps patients get the best possible care.
"A good doctor will welcome informed questions from well-read patients," says Barbara F. Sharf, Ph.D., professor of medical humanities at Texas A and M University, in College Station. "But there are still doctors who say patients should not have access to the kind of medical information found on the Internet." Remember that books can become outdated quickly, and Web sites may be inaccurate. Look for information that is timely and sources that are reputable.
Keep in mind: If you're obsessively triple-checking every word your doctor utters, maybe you should look for a physician who inspires a greater level of trust.

WareLogging, a DNS forwarder for NAT firewalls:
:Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.
<Brennen> Working pretty well for me on a small office network right now, and dnsmasq.conf is commented with most of the docs you'll need to get it up and running. The only gotcha so far has been that I was having it rely on resolv.conf for upstream nameservers, which is apparently subject to periodic overwrites on most modern Linux systems. There's a spot in dnsmasq.conf where you can specify servers directly:
# Add other name servers here, with domain specs if they are for # non-public domains. server=188.8.131.52 server=126.96.36.199
I don't actually know if it's using both of these values, but the manpage kind of gives the impression that it is.

The Meridian Star
One West Lauderdale school student is still in the hospital with a leg injury that school officials said will require more attention but otherwise those who were involved in the school bus versus car crash Monday afternoon are home.
"The student, an eighth grade girl, is recovering but she does need more attention on her injury," said Ed Mosley, assistant superintendent of the Lauderdale County School District. "It is not a serious injury just something they want to evaluate further. Everyone else was treated Monday and released."
Mosley said 11 of the 15 students were treated for injuries.
Mississippi Highway Patrol officials said at about 3:50 p.m. a Ford Fusion collided with the bus near Highway 19 North and Rocky Ridge Road. The impact of the car sliding underneath the side of the bus was enough to tip the bus over onto its side. MHP officials said the students were able to get out of the bus through the rear emergency door.
MHP officials said the two passengers in the car, who are teachers with the Philadelphia Public School District, had to be extracted from the vehicle. They were taken to Meridian hospitals with what officials said were non-life threatening injuries.
"The first thing we try to determine is how many are injured and how seriously," Mosley said. "These students and children are our most precious resource."
The MHP is still investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of the crash.

A "not-so-new" (but great) leadership resource
Posted on 30. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
Leadership is an interesting thing, isn't it. Some of us are born with a natural "know-how." Others of us have to work really hard at it. All of us get stuck at certain places. As people who oversee ministries, we need it, need to know how to grow it and how to cultivate it. All of us know what our limitations are as a leader. I know mine. At times I'm embarrassed by mine. It's good to know that this isn't the end of the story, there's plenty of time to develop and plenty of time to grow.
So, there's a book out there that I want to point you towards. It's called "Lead the Way God Made You." I'll be honest, it really spoke to where I am right now as a leader in many different ways.… Read the rest

Product Review: Live it Out
Posted on 30. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
So a few weeks ago, we took 70 kids and leaders to summer camp. There were 400 kids there overall and I had been hired by the camp to be the Camp Pastor at one of the three weeks of camp. They had chosen reThink's Live it Out curriculum in a box to use as a camp theme and curriculum. We use both 252 Basics and My First Look every Sunday, so I was pretty familiar with the material. However, I wanted to give a review of my experience using the material supplied. Please note though that I didn't go out and select this product and I wasn't in charge of determining what we used and what we didn't. As the Camp Pastor, I was given the DVD of video elements as well as the small group materials that had been selected for small group breakouts.… Read the rest

Video Review: What's in the Bible Disc Two
Posted on 28. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
Okay, I just finished watching disc two. Honestly, I intended to watch the review a month ago, but finding an hour to watch it and write my assessment has been harder than I'd have imagined. In case you didn't read earlier, I wrote a review of disc one here.
I'm still impressed with the content. Several times I laugh out loud due to the witty and cleaver lines but it's been well put together and it is certainly a fantastic way to be exposed to the Bible. Disc two covers the remainder of Genesis and and all of Exodus. What I love so much about WITB is that it's not just an overview of key Bible stories, but key concepts are being introduced.… Read the rest

Father's Day Video
Posted on 27. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
Not sure if you've seen this yet. Usually I see this on the blogs or on twitter, but actually found this from the facebook feed of someone I recently married who isn't really that plugged into church. So, I'm assuming that this video has gone somewhat viral. I have been a little out of touch though, so if "everyone" was talking about this last week and I just didn't see it, I'm sorry for passing it along. I've cracked up at this many times now. Enjoy!

App of the week: Settlers of Catan on iPhone/iPad
Posted on 27. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
I'm a huge fan of the game, "The Settlers of Catan." Over a year ago Wired Magazine wrote an article about this game called Monopoly Killer that describes how this game and others like it are redefining the board game genre. I've been playing Settlers for 6-8 years and I LOVE it. So, I just found out this week that there is an iPhone app where you can play multi-player or just against the computer. I don't get to play very often, so this app is great for scratching the itch.
I'll be honest, it's a little hard to play on the little screen that is my iPhone. However, I think the experience would be considerably different on the iPad. So, if you have an iPad and you'd like to check out a very unique but fun game, pick up the Catan app.… Read the rest

Book Review: Read with Me Bible for Toddlers
Posted on 23. Jun, 2010 by Kenny.
I recently got a new Bible for my son Titus. I've been a fan of the Read with Me Bible for years, so I decided to try out the version for toddlers. Holy Cow, I love it!
So since Titus was about 6-8 months old, we've been reading to him from "The Beginners Bible." Titus probably didn't actually engage in the process of reading his Bible until he was about 18 months or so (before then he was more interested in tearing pages out). However, I think I was becoming bored with reading from this Bible. The illustrations are cute, but really on the simple side of things where the books he was really getting into were a little more complex.… Read the rest
