Public Art at the Gaertner Performing Arts Center
The James and Nancy Gaertner Performing Arts Center (GPAC) is a diverse performing arts facility that houses three state-of-the-art performance venues, multiple rehearsal studios and faculty/staff offices. However, it is also a gallery--both inside and out--for the visuals arts. On, around and inside the GPAC, the walls and open spaces showcase the work of internationally known artists and sculptors.
Putting the Art in the James and Nancy Gaertner Performing Arts Center
The marriage of Art and Architecture elevates Sam Houston State University's new, 100,000 square foot James and Nancy Gaertner Performing Arts Center to a rare space on campus. WHR Architects, along with a University art committee, chose Art + Artisans, a Texas art consulting firm, to help commission the art for the space.
Eight major works comprise the heart of the original collection. Most prominent is a 16-foot wood and steel installation, "Around the Flower Wall" by internationally known sculptor James Surls, a University Alumnus and former art professor.
Work by photographer Joe Aker, glass artists Kathleen Ash and Jason Lawson, renowned SHSU former professor emeritus of art Charles Pebworth, kinetic sculptor Tim Prentice and sculptor Hoss Haley are all represented within the facility. On permanent loan is another major sculpture by Texas artist Jesus Moroles.

Six-Year-Old Sends Piggybank Savings to Former NY Giant Brandon Jacobs
By Liz RafteryNew York Giants fan Joseph Armento was dismayed to learn that the team did not retain running back Brandon Jacobs this offseason – so the 6-year-old decided to take matters into his own hands.
Joseph sent a letter to Jacobs and enclosed the savings from his personal piggybank (totaling $3.36) in an effort to help the athlete, who signed with the San Francisco 49ers in March, return to New York.
"When he asked me why you were going to SF I explained that the Giants did not have enough money to keep you," Joseph's mother, Julie, wrote to Jacobs. "Joseph is just learning to read/write so I will help you by translating his letter."
Her son's note reads: "Dear Brandon Jacobs, So you could go to the Giants, here is my money. Love, Joe."
Jacobs, 29, was so touched by the letter that he posted it to his Twitter account and says he plans to take Joseph on a special outing the next time he's in New York.
"I almost cried, I am still trying to hold it in," Jacobs Tweeted after receiving the letter. "I may have to pay him a surprise visit."
"Here's what I am thinking for the kid," he added two days later. "I have a 5 year old, I will go and pick Joe up at his home in jersey and take him and my son 2 chucky cheese."
Until Jacobs makes it back to the East Coast, though, he says he'll use Joseph's note as inspiration as he gets acclimated to his new team and city.
"Little Joe just gave me so much confidence, I feel this season is gonna be a great one," Jacobs Tweeted Thursday. "FYI I am contacting him tomorrow to make some plans."

Brandon Jacobs Treats 6-Year-Old Donor to Bounce House Outing
By Alison Schwartz
When 6-year-old New York Giants fan Joseph Armento sent running back Brandon Jacobs his money – $3.36 – in an effort to keep him on the team earlier this month, the NFL star vowed to pay him back.
Jacobs made good on that promise Wednesday with something worth much more than the contents of the Armento's piggybank.
The running back, 29, who signed with the San Francisco 49ers in March, took the young fan and his 4-year-old brother Nick on the ultimate thank-you outing to the Jump On It bounce house gym in Boonton, N.J, Wednesday.
"He told me he really wanted to get out there with the kids," their mother, Julie Armento, told The Sacramento Bee. Added Armento, who sent Jacobs the letter with the contents of Joe's piggy bank: "It was amazing."
In town this week after his move to the Bay Area, the NFL star rented out the space for the Armento kids and his 5-year-old son, Brayden, for an afternoon on the inflatable slides.
"It was just us in the whole place, and we were just going room to room – just bouncing and flipping all over the place, hitting each other with balls, sweating, our shirts filthy," Jacobs said. "We were just dirty, stinky boys, you know?"
He added on Twitter: "I had so much fun with them."
But that's not all Joe got for his sweet gesture. Jacobs also gave him a signed Giants football helmet with the words "thanks for being a fan." And because he ultimately became a 49er, Jacobs gave the young fan back his $3.36 investment and then some – $5 – because "he had some interest in there just for being a good kid."
"I'm at a point in my career when people have stopped believing in me and not believing I can still play," he added to The Bee. "Joe believes in me, gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of want-to."
"I'm ready to go," he continued. "I can't wait until the season starts."

In 1998 Victoria was named Assistant News Director/Reporter for the Myrtle Beach bureau and in 1999 became News Director.
Georgetown police are investigating a home invasion and armed robbery that happened around 11:00 am Monday on Church Street.
Two men, one armed with a gun and the other armed with a box cutter, showed up at a woman's door and forced their way in when she opened it.
She said they demanded money.
The woman told police she refused their demands, the men forced her into a bedroom and cut her on her back until she told them where the money was.
Only vague descriptions of the men were provided because they were wearing black hoodies and masks.
The woman was treated at a hospital and released.
If you have any information on this case, contact the Georgetown Police Department at 843-545-4300 or call the TIP line at 843-545-4400.

Webinar: How Banks Manage Reference Data with MongoDB
Tuesday March 19th 7:00am PDT / 10:00am EDT / 2:00pm UTC
(We suggest registering at least 30 minutes before the start of the webinar.)
Managing and distributing reference data globally has always been a challenge for financial institutions. Managing and maintaining database schemas while integrating and replicating that data across geographies is costly and time consuming. MongoDB's native replication capabilities and partitioned architecture make it simple to distribute and synchronize data efficiently across the globe. MongoDB's dynamic schema dramatically reduces database maintenance for schema migrations – data structure changes can be applied with no down time, and with no impact to existing applications.

Don Cherry credits Mike Milbury for Alex Ovechkin's turnaround
By Allan Muir
Don Cherry's critics are going to have a field day with this one.
Asked about the remarkable turnaround of Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, the bombastic TV star offered up a unique take.
"Mike Milbury, I think, deserves a lot of credit here," Cherry said on Toronto's Fan 590 radio station. "He's not getting it. He'd come on and he ripped Ovechkin – he should be ashamed of himself, boom boom boom, and called him every name – and that's when Ovechkin changed.
"And if you people have noticed – and I haven't said it on Hockey Night in Canada, I might yet – have you noticed after a game, he just gives it a [fist] pump?" Cherry asked. "Have you noticed that? Have you noticed he's got nice short hair, he doesn't look like a wild man anymore? Adam Oates has got to him and said look, get off this celebrity thing. And what happened was, he was more of a celebrity than he was a hockey player. He forgot.
"And you know, when I went to the Bruins, that's the same thing happened to me — I got there, they had gold chains on and all that stuff, and they were celebrities there, they forgot to play hockey. They loved the life, they loved the travel, the only thing that got to them, they didn't like the hockey. And you know, that's what made Bobby Orr great, and I'll tell you why: he had no businesses, he did nothing, all he wanted was to play hockey. And that's the name of the game and Ovechkin's right there now. He's playing hockey instead of being a big-time celebrity."

Clubland king Chris Paciello ain't exactly a Mafia don. But it sure seemed he was headed that way.
Mob ties? Fine. Cheesy tunes ... criminal.
Chris Paciello, the dangerous darling of the SoBe nightlife set, has a reputation for fisticuffs. And mob ties.
Jimmy Sabatino, self-described child of the Mafia, displayed a prodigious talent for confidence games even as a teenager. If he hadn't threatened to kill President Clinton, he'd probably be scamming today.

I haven't seen the Showboat Majestic's opening production of its 90th season (that's right, the boat has been entertaining audiences for nine decades!), but Babes in Hollywood is another show that's light and entertaining. It's a revue of tunes made famous by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney back in the 1930s and '40s when they were happy-go-lucky adolescent stars. I did see the four-member cast do a number at last Monday's LCT Awards event, and they have fine voices and a sense of style. I suspect this show will be popular with the grey-haired audience that frequents the Showboat, but I bet people of any age will have a good time watching. Box office: 513-241-6550.
If you want something a tad more profound, try Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's production of The Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare's most difficult plays. It's officially categorized as a comedy because it has humorous and romantic elements. But the central story about a potentially fatal argument between a moneylender and a businessman is anything but amusing. CSC's artistic director Brian Isaac Phillips takes on the role of the rapacious moneylender who has faced anti-Semitic discrimination for his entire life. Is Shylock a villain or a victim? Shakespeare gives him aspects of each, and CSC's production does not tilt in either direction. You get to decide, and it won't be easy. Review here. Box office: 513-381-2273, x1.
There's a new theater downtown, just a few doors north of Cincinnati Shakespeare's venue. They're calling themselves Speakeasy Theatre, and they're performing in a storefront space at 815 Race Street. Their inaugural production is Paul Baerman's The Whistler. The show, directed by Tim Waldrip, is set in 1965 in an unnamed Southern city where a lot a racist attitudes are out in the open. The Andy Griffith Show is in its fifth season, and the guy who whistles that show's theme (played here by local professional actor Michael G. Bath) is living off the royalties of his work. But life gets more complicated when he meets an African-American trumpet player (Tony Davis is taking on the role) who shares his passion for music. The show just opened on Thursday and I haven't seen it, but it's always good to give a new theater a try. The Whistler will be onstage through June 10. Box office: 513-861-7469.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
During several of the years I spent at CityBeat as arts and entertainment editor, I sat just a few feet away from Kathy Y. Wilson. She was an indisputable force of nature: When she arrived in the office, the otherwise quiet room full of writers exploded with her raucous laughter, challenging dialogue and outspoken presence.
I had the singular privilege of editing her "Your Negro Tour Guide" column for quite a bit of that time, giving me a regular dose of her wit and profound insights about an aspect of American life that some readers loved and others hated. No one was take-it-or-leave-it about Kathy and what she had to say in her writing.
If you're looking for an unusual but gripping theatrical production this weekend, you should head straight to UC's College-Conservatory of Music for The Threepenny Opera. Don't think that this is some stuffy old piece from 1928, although that's when the
show with a script by Bertoldt Brecht and music by Kurt Weill was first
performed. It was radical and challenging, mocking the establishment
and paying no heed to social structures. This musical theater production, staged by CCM Opera Chair Robin Guarino, feels lethal and threatening. You'll recognize a tune or two ("Mack the Knife" is the show's familiar tune), and if you've seen Cabaret or Urinetown, you'll recognize how this piece influenced those works. Guarino's production, with a big cast and an
imaginative set (designed by Tony Award winner John Arnone), captures
the vitality and spirit of the original work. I doubt we'll see another
production of this one very soon, so here's your chance to catch a bit
of theater history — and be both entertained and provoked. Definitely worth seeing. Through March 10. Box office: 513-556-4183.
If you haven't yet seen Know Theatre's production of When the Rain Stops Falling, that's another one you should have in your sights. Andrew Bovell's dense, imaginative script is a compelling story of multiple, intersecting generations of two families. (Review here.) The taut, engaging 100-minute production,
staged by Cincinnati Shakespeare's Brian Phillips, features several of that company's best actors, as well as several other local standouts. One of the best productions from Know Theatre in several seasons. It's onstage through March 16. Tickets: 513-300-5669.
I haven't seen it (alas, my schedule just doesn't have room for everything), but Legally Blonde: The Musical at NKU has received props from the League of Cincinnati Theatres as an entertaining production. It's the story of Elle Woods, spurned by her fiancé, off to Harvard Law School in pursuit of him, only to discover that she's got the smarts to be more than just a girlfriend. Not profound, but surefire entertainment. Through Sunday. Tickets: 859-572-5464
There's a lot of good theater around right now. Lots of people are telling me they've enjoyed Durango at the Playhouse (which closes on Sunday), and everyone who sees Know Theater's Reefer Madness: The Musical seems to come away laughing.
But if there's one show that's a must-see right now, I'd point you to The Seafarer at Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati.
Thanks to spot-on casting of the four actors who bring Kim Rosenstock's new play Tigers Be Still to life at the Cincinnati Playhouse, the show about people dealing with depression is charming, funny, optimistic and even heart-warming. It's about a young woman with a recently earned degree in art therapy; she's been down in the dumps about finding work, but not as much as her mom who's gained weight and her sister who's been dumped by her fiancé. She's starting a new job thanks to her mom's long-ago boyfriend, now a middle school principal. He has issues of his own — from a slacker son to anxiety about a tiger that's escaped from the local zoo. Sound zany? Well, it is — as well as entertaining. The League of Cincinnati Theatres singled out this production's sound design by Vincent Olivieri for an award. One panelist wrote, "On a very small stage, scenes took place in a school gym, drugstore, office, closet, outdoors and in the living spaces of two houses. Except for the main set, capturing the essence of these scenes was limited to a couple of props and pieces of furniture — and the sound!" Through April 15. Box office: 513-421-3888.
There's a final performance on Saturday afternoon of Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale, presented by The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati. The world premiere musical by composer Janet Vogt and writer Mark Friedman has received an award from the league of Cincinnati Theatres for its scenic design by David Centers. Tickets: 513-569-8080, x13. His design for the show was described by LCT judges as "simple and very well executed in a style that was great for the play." In addition to the show's signature tower, the set also boasts a forest that "wasn't too dank, dark and dismal, but instead had personality." (Centers, a veteran local designer and a graduate of the School for Creative and Performing Arts, received an LCT Award in the same category earlier this year for his work Disney's My Son Pinocchio Jr.) Tickets: 513-569-8080, x13.
On Wednesday I attended the Cirque du Soleil production of Dralion at the Bank of Kentucky Arena, adjacent to Northern Kentucky University. It's another extravaganza of strength and showmanship, athleticism and artistry. This struck me as a somewhat more compact show than I've seen in the past: The talent is just as great, but the concept — connections between East and West — is pretty vaporous. But there are three wonderful clowns, and several of the performances do things that make you say, "How can a human body do that?" Balancing on one hand, flying through the air on a hoop, skipping rope in a human pyramid — it's amazing stuff. It's being presented through Sunday: Lots of available seats on opening night, so I'm guessing you can still find tickets for all performances. Through Sunday. Tickets: 800-745-3000
Two excellent productions wrap up this weekend. The Cincinnati Playhouse's unique staging of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical Merrily We Roll Along, which uses actors who also play musical instruments has its final performances on Saturday. I gave the production a Critic's Pick; Merrily is only infrequently staged, so this is a chance not to be missed. Box office: 513-421-3888. Ensemble Theatre concludes the run of Time Stands Still, a fine drama with a great ensemble cast directed by Michael Evan Haney. Final performance is on Sunday. This tale of burned-out journalists and last gasps at relationships by Donald Margulies, a Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist, also earned a Critic's Pick. Box office: 513-421-3555.
Know Theatre's production of the recent off-Broadway and Broadway Rock musical hit, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, opens on Saturday. (It's onstage through May 12.) Word has it that tickets are already selling fast. Box office: 513-300-5669. This weekend is also the opening for Cincinnati Shakespeare's production of The Grapes of Wrath, which runs through April 29. Box office: 513-381-2273, x1.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
Last weekend at the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville, I saw a piece about five tone-deaf sisters who nonetheless made their mark on the vaudeville circuit: Dan O'Brien's The Cherry Sisters Revisited. More than once I heard the play compared to Steven Temperley's Souvenir, the show about oddball singer Florence Foster Jenkins who aspired to an operatic recital career in the 1930s and 1940s despite a singular lack of singing skills. Ensemble Theatre produced that show for Cincinnati audiences in 2007, and actress Neva Rae Powers earned major accolades for singing wretchedly (think how hard it is for a good singer to sound awful) and won a Cincinnati Entertainment Award in the process.
Lyle Benjamin has been on and off a lot of local stages with his company Queen City Off-Broadway. He's been dormant for a few seasons, but he's back with a slightly new name — it's now called Queen City Theater — and a couple of mid-summer productions using the black box theater at the new School for Creative and Performing Arts (108 West Central Pkwy., Over-the-Rhine) as his venue. Tonight is the opening performance of The Amish Project by Jessica Dickey.
It's a good weekend for local theater, with two confirmed choices and a fascinating new production with a lot of potential. Both shows that opened a week ago — End Days at Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati and Gee's Bend at Cincinnati Playhouse — have been recommended by the Acclaims judging panel that considered them, and both have received nominations for performers and other aspects.

I also find the concept of honor to be nonsensical, particularly within the confines of a feudal society. The issue is of course that in such a society all authority is derived from the high lords themselves and ultimately the king. This means that each lord can have their own honor code and be accountable to no one, except the king should said king have sufficient power to subdue them. In other words, there is no code of conduct except might makes right. While there's nothing inherently foolish about relying on a honor code to govern one's actions, to expect others to operate according to one's own code invites disaster. And limiting your actions by an arbitrary set of prescribed conditions gives undue advantage to your adversaries.
Now I know people are going say Ned has a fundamental moral code which governs his actions and makes him more noble than many of character we see in the series. However, lets not forget when we first meet Ned he is beheading a terrified man who has just witnessed the reemergence of 8,000 year old ice demons. Sure he's warden of the north and cutting off people's heads is part of his duty but no one forced him to be warden of the north. When Myran Trant is beating Sansa in obedience to the king, no one really suggests that duty sufficiently justified those actions. Once Ned is willing to except killing is acceptable that waging war over family disputes is acceptable where exactly is the honor? Once Ned immerses himself in the world of high lords playing the game of thrones, how can it possibly be reasonable for him to hold to his honor while unleashing war on the realm. For example, Ned states that the difference between himself and a Lannister is that he does not murder children. But is that necessarily noble? How many children die for the sake Tommen, Joffrey and Marcella? Ned could easily have lost the lives of his own children and ultimately does lose a son, a wife, his own life and his home. And for what? Righteousness, honor? No, because Stannis happened to be born before Renly. Could there be anything more arbitrary, more ridiculous to lose everything you hold dear over?
Ned Stark, in a fashion which he appears to be singular to him even among the Starks, repeatedly refuses to learn the lesson that honor is a imaginary concept. There are only two logical reason for Ned to behave in this manner. 1) For the purposes of the plot or 2) Ned is stupid, meaning he lacks the ability to predict the actions and motivations of his potential allies and adversaries. Without breaking the fourth wall, there is no other conclusion to draw than Ned Stark is simply, not smart.
"Hauser contrasts the dilemmas faced by hypothetical individuals called Ned and Oscar. Ned is standing by the railway track. Unlike Denise, who could divert the trolley onto a siding, Ned's switch diverts it onto a side loop which joins the main track again just before the five people. Simply switching the points doesn't help: the trolley will plough into the five anyway when the diversion rejoins the main track. However, as it happens, there is an extremely fat man on the diversionary track who is heavy enough to stop the trolley. Should Ned change the points and divert the train? Most people's intuition is that he should not. But what is the difference between Ned's dilemma, and Denise's? Presumably people are intuitively applying Kant's principle. Denise diverts the trolley from ploughing into the five people, and the unfortunate casualty on the siding is 'collateral damage', to use the charmingly Rumsfeldian phrase. He is not being used by Denise to save the others. Ned is actually using the fat man to stop the trolley, and most people (perhaps unthinkingly), along with Kant (thinking it out in great detail), see this as a crucial difference."

Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus v. Edifier E3350
Two 2.1 speaker systems sound it out
Review With most computers bulging at the seams with music and video files, the days of making do with even a cheap set of active stereo speakers, let alone laptop offerings, are truly dead and buried. A decent 2.1 active speaker system will not only pay dividends when it comes to playing your music but can also provide bowel trembling bass when playing games or watching video.
PC palpitator: Altec Lansing's Expressionist Plus FX3021
Recently, Edifier and Altec Lansing simultaneously released new 2.1 speaker sets that are in head-on competition. Both consist of a meaty downward firing subwoofer and a couple of satellites. Both have clearly spent some time and effort on styling as well as performance. And both are yours for under eighty quid.
Edifier describes the E3350 subwoofer as looking like an, ahem, 'exotic pyramid'. Yes, quite. Fourth Dynasty envy aside the E3350 continues the restrained and minimalist styling we have come to expect from Edifier, of late. Even though everything is made of plastic, it's a high-quality plastic with blemish-free matt black surfaces. Some rather nice design touches include the diffuse red halo LED that surrounds the touch sensitive on/off switch on top of the subwoofer and the satellites' cloth speaker covers.
Altec has gone for an altogether more curvaceous and organic design theme with its Expressionist Plus. This works well on the lovely gloss black subwoofer but the satellites look just little on the cheap side when placed alongside it, and this isn't helped by the over-designed speaker grilles and satin finish metal stands. Although the latter do, at least, allow you to change the angle of the speaker units themselves.
In short the Altec satellites look a little too much like PC speakers while the Edifier's look like small hi-fi speakers and we know which look we prefer.
Hi-Fi choice? Edifier's E3350
Edifier has also thought rather harder than Altec about the best way to connect up a 2.1 speaker. The E3350's satellite tether cable branches from the subwoofer to each speaker allowing for a great degree of flexibility. Altec's approach is to connect one speaker to the sub and then use a separate cable to connect the two satellites together. The farthest apart you can separate the two Altec speakers is 150cm, while the Edifier's can manage twice that distance.
Take 2.1 speakers into the shower?
I was looking for some speakers at the end of last year. Due to space issues I had to discount mount of the 2.1 offerings (plus they all look bloody strange nowadays, esp the subs). In the end I went for some Bose Companion 2. Only 2 desktop speakers, but with enough thudding ability to keep me happy. I've had a Bose Wave Radio/CD for ages, so knew Bose's previous for getting a lot of sound out of not a lot of box(es).
Electricity consumption?
Neither manufacturer gives any power consumption figure for standby or typical operating.conditions nor makes any claim for electrical efficiency. Both devices are externally powered which is often a sign that electricity use is not well managed. ..
That's the problem with writing an article so that the important details are in the middle rather than at the start or the end.
The driver dimensions are detailed on page 3.
Thats the problem with not reading the whole article and them basing your comments on assumptions.
@ Allan 1
No, those are not driver dimensions on page 2. They are the dimensions of their enclosures.
That's the problem with not knowing anything about speakers and them basing your comments on assumptions.

Judge ignores plea bargain, gives Whidbey Marine who choked wife max sentence
By JESSIE STENSLAND
Whidbey News Times Assistant editor
June 30, 2010 · Updated 8:49 AM
An Island County Superior Court judge deviated from a plea-bargained sentence to give a former Marine convicted of assaulting his wife the longest term possible, though it only amounted to an extra two months in prison.
Judge Alan Hancock sentenced 24-year-old Hayron Garcialemus of Oak Harbor to one year and eight months in prison at the end of a June 18 hearing. Garcialemus pleaded guilty May 24 to second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, assault in the second degree by strangulation, harassment, tampering with a witness and two counts of violation of a no-contact order.
Under a plea agreement, the prosecution and defense recommended that the judge sentence Garcialemus to a year and a half in prison. But the victim, who flew all the way from California to be at the sentencing, asked Hancock to give her husband the maximum sentence.
"My heart goes out to you for what you've endured the past few months and years," Hancock said to the woman. He called the assault "extremely serious" and followed her wishes.
Before he was sentenced, Garcialemus said he was "deeply regretful" for what he had done.
"I may have lost my military career, but I still hope to make something good and decent of myself," he said.
In her comments and victim impact statement, Garcialemus' wife described the years of abuse and isolation she endured. She said he threatened to kill her or have her deported if she tried to leave him.
"I feel you need to understand that this crime was not a one-time thing; it was part of many years of physical and emotional abuse and manipulation I have gone through at the hands of my husband," she wrote. "Years of being on the receiving end of his anger and violence."
The woman finally called the police in May of 2009 after Garcialemus had pinned her down and strangled her. She also told police that he had pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger just 10 feet away. She wrote that she was so scared she checked to see if she had been shot.
The original case against Garcialemus was dismissed after the vicim moved to California. She claimed he had told her to move there with their children so she couldn't testify against him.
But then detectives discovered that Garcialemus had been violating court orders barring him from contacting the woman. After detectives talked to her, she decided to cooperate with the prosecution.
Garcialemus' attorney, Jon Ostlund of Anacortes, said that Garcialemus' three tours in Iraq, seven years of service in the Marines and a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, should be taken into consideration at sentencing. He pointed out that a Navy therapist and an expert in post-traumatic disorder diagnosed his client with PTSD.
"Although PTSD and alcohol abuse are significant factors in the abuse and domestic violence suffered by Hayron's wife, he accepts and understands that it is not an excuse for his actions," the attorney wrote.
Garcialemus was a Marine sergeant with VAQ-129 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
A forensic evaluation from Western State Hospital, however, did not support the insanity defense based on PTSD. The report states that Garcialemus didn't report any direct involvement in combat and he didn't present any symptoms during two interviews with the doctor. Also, the woman claimed the abuse began before Garcialemus was deployed.
"The court is highly skeptical of the PTSD defense," Hancock said, adding that Garcialemus' claim "almost trivializes the actual incidents of PTSD that servicemen and women suffer."

bought it and love it. i get alot of mixed comments on it. some people just dont like the wood i guess. love it and it looks great in my car.
This is a nice wheel. The wood is not poly covered, just stained. And it's a solid piece. Some forum guys worry that manual steering is too much strain on the wood, but I've had no issues. It's solid.

"Mustard's Last Stand" is a mystery/romance/little-man-against-corporate-big-guys theatrical comedy that made me feel I was on an out-of-control merry-go-round.
For example, in the first third of the book I met a fired security officer seeking a redneck shoplifter; a burned-out screenwriter home to rescue his environmentalist brother; four pregnant women trying to refurbish a pizza parlor into a rescue home; a shrimpy money-hungry entrepreneur; a con man posing as a preacher; and various other miscreants and misfits, all converging on Hancock, Idaho.
My only thought was, "How is Ms. McIntosh going to bring all of this together as a believable story?" More amazing still is the sleight of hand she employs to pull it off.
The story is set in the tiny North Idaho town of Hancock, which is in danger of becoming a yuppy back-to-nature paradise when entrepreneur Naismith proposes opening a hunting safari for rich hunters. The town's denizens are evenly divided between welcoming the proposed income coming to their depressed little town and openly defiant of a big-game business that some say amounts to shooting fish in a barrel and will destroy the environment.
Kathy McIntosh shows an edginess in her writing in creating wackos who are sympathetic characters by reining them in just shy of repulsive — a great balancing act that keeps you trying to decide if you like this guy or not.
It's definitely a fun read, and she plans more books featuring this oddball cast. That's a good thing because, looking back, none of the relationships in the book got settled, so we have their resolutions to look forward to.
My Rating: Go for it. You'll get a kick out of reading it.

Now that Lee and Hill have committed... Does everyone feel like the dominos will begin to fall again on the 2013 class? I think the Hill pick up is huge because people down here in the south hate the B1G...
Will the dominos begin to fall?
Definitely think some of the dominos will CONTINUE (they've already begun with Lee and Hill) to fall (ala Adrian Baker on Friday), as spots are QUICKLY becoming limited. However, I do not expect anything more than 2-3 commits in the near future (i.e., week-to-two-weeks).
Just me, personally.
I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the last five spots go...
Finley (OL)
Gibson (WR)
Foster (WR)
Bell (S)
then, for the last spot, either Mizzell (if we can get him), Green (if the staff wants him), Tyquan Lewis, or another lineman.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.

Are energy hogs robbing you blind? There's only one way to hunt the scavengers down— conduct an audit of your facilities. Many utilities may be willing to do that for you. However, if you prefer to do the hunting yourself, the following are a few areas to review, according to the Food Service Technology Center (FSTC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Food preparation accounts for 35 percent of energy usage.
• Do you have a start-up, shutdown schedule for kitchen equipment or is it on all the time? This is an easy one—if it's not needed, shut it down.
• Are your range tops clean and in good repair and are pilot lights operating correctly?
• Are doors on ovens and steamers properly aligned and are gaskets in good repair so heat and steam do not escape?
HVAC accounts for 28 percentage of energy usage.
• Are thermostats programmed to provide comfortable ambient temperatures for guests and employees? The EPA suggests air conditioning settings of 76°F for occupied cooling and 85°F for unoccupied areas. For heating, the recommendation is 68°F and 55°F, respectively. Where feasible, turn thermostats off when your business is closed.
• When appliances are off, are the exhaust and make-up systems also off? Are your appliances placed completely under exhaust hoods? Are your exhaust hood grease filters clean and in good repair? If not, the cost could be far more than energy—it's a fire hazard.
• Are patio space heaters and misters turned off when the area is unoccupied? Are rooftop exhaust fans clean? Are any belts loose or broken?
Sanitation accounts for 18 percent of energy usage.
• Are faucets in good order or are there leaks? Washers cost less than a dollar, but just one faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year. Better yet, install a low-flow aerator and reduce water use by 80 percent. You'll also save on the energy used to heat all of that water.
• Is your dish room equipped with low-flow, pre-rinse spray valves? If not, the cost is about $50 and you can expect savings of about $1,000 a year in water, sewer and energy costs if it's used about three hours a day.
• After dish washing, your washrooms use the most significant amount of water. A running toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons per day—6,000 gallons in a month.
Lighting accounts for 13 percent of energy usage.
• Are you using compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) in the back of the house wherever possible? They last 10 times longer than incandescent and reduce energy use by 75 percent
• Are you using in dining areas dimmable LED lighting that provides the utmost in both light quality and energy efficiency? You'll pay for the change in about a year, but the LED lamps will save more energy even than CFLs and last approximately 50,000 hours—five times longer than even a CFL.
• Are you using in storage rooms motion-sensor lighting that goes on when people enter and turns off when they leave?
Refrigeration accounts for 6 percent of energy usage.
• Are the doors properly aligned on reach-in coolers? Are gaskets in good shape and solidly connected to the doors? Are the doors closed when not in use? If not, you're letting cold air escape. As the cooler works harder to maintain it set temperature you're headed for a breakdown.
• The above measures are also applicable to walk-ins. Specific to walk-ins, do they have strip curtains and automatic door closers?
• Are condensers and evaporator coils dirty, trashy or frozen? You'll be surprised at what you find back there and cleaning them will save money and increase the life of the coolers.
These are just a few areas to get you started. For more detailed information and a checklist to help you conduct your own energy audit, visit the Food Service Technology Center. For many of these areas, it's all about cleaning and maintenance. You'd never expect your car to run at peak efficiency without an oil change and tune-up. The same is true in your foodservice operation.
And, like your car, it requires constant vigilance. The toilet that's working fine today may be running constantly tomorrow. Refrigeration equipment that was top-of-the-line five years ago may develop problems and start using huge amounts of energy. Fortunately, there are options for managing this critical part of your operation.

The main active ingredient in PriMeric is curcumin the yellow substance in the turmeric spice. Curcumin has a long history of medicinal use in India and China, and in recent years has become a focus of medical research because of its remarkable effects on inflammation, viruses, protein handling, and on free-radical damage to the body.
LifeLinks PriMeric formula includes two bioavailability enhancers quercetin and piperine which not only dramatically increase curcumins otherwise poor absorption but also slow its metabolic conversion to inactive substances, giving it a much longer opportunity to act.
Four medical conditions for which curcumin seems to hold especially exciting prospects are:
Studies of curcumin have also reported beneficial effects on the following medical conditions:
The recommended dose for this supplement is 3 capsules per day (1000 mg/day of curcumin). Lower doses may be beneficial for general well-being, but higher doses are used in clinical trials for patients with specific ailments, such as cancer.
Considering the wide range of beneficial actions of this supplement and its well-established safety, it ranks as one of the supplement worlds smartest choices.
The main active ingredient in PriMeric is curcumin the yellow substance in the turmeric spice. Curcumin has a long history of medicinal use in India and China,1 and in recent years has become a focus of medical research because of its remarkable effects on such processes as tissue damage by free radicals, inflammation, viral replication, and protein handling.
Curcumin normally is absorbed poorly from the human digestive tract. Less than 1% of the curcumin one consumes actually makes it into the bloodstream, and the liver rapidly destroys most of this. To eliminate this problem, LifeLink formulated PriMeric with two bioavailability enhancers quercetin and piperine which not only dramatically increase the absorption but also slow the metabolic conversion of curcumin to inactive substances, giving it a much longer opportunity to act.
In the U.S. and some other industrialized countries, government agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have adopted censorship as a method for intensifying their control over the supplement industry and its customers. Thus, FDA regulations prohibit us from telling you that any of our products are effective as medical treatments, even if they are, in fact, effective.
Accordingly, we will limit our discussion of PriMeric to a brief summary of recent curcumin research, and let you draw your own conclusions about what medical conditions it may be effective in treating.
Since 1970, when curcumin first attracted the interest of scientific medical researchers, studies of curcumin have reported suppressive effects for the following medical conditions:
Anyone suffering from any of these ailments will probably find encouragement in the fact that medical research has identified curcumin as a possible aid. We want to single out four other medical conditions for which curcumin seems to hold especially exciting prospects:
Curcumin has shown pronounced anti-Alzheimers effects in animal studies16,17 and is being tested in human clinical trials.16 Its ability to disassemble the brain plaques (amyloid protein) that characterize Alzheimers Disease15,17 has led researchers to say that it has the potential both to prevent the condition14,15,17 and to reverse it.15,17
Although the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease differ from those of Alzheimers Disease, the causes are thought to have much in common. Both diseases involve the formation of protein plaques in the brain,18 the trapping of metal atoms in the plaques,19 the production of destructive free radicals by the metal atoms,19 and the formation of protein pores in the membranes of nerve cells.18
In view of this similarity between the two diseases, and considering that curcumin has shown anti-Alzheimers effects, it is not surprising that it has also shown neuroprotective effects in biochemical models and in a rat model of Parkinsons.20,21,22,23
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is usually caused by a faulty protein in cells of respiratory and digestive tissues. The protein, called CFTR, is normally made inside cells and then transported and installed in the outer cell membranes, where it regulates the movement of salt molecules in and out of the cells. The defective CFTR proteins produced by most cystic fibrosis patients are quickly destroyed by scavenger mechanisms, leaving cells without the ability to regulate the movement of salt. The resulting disruption causes secretions in these tissues to become too viscous.
In 2004 it was announced by researchers at Yale University that mice with cystic fibrosis symptoms caused by faulty CFTR proteins could be successfully treated with curcumin, taken orally.24 One might have expected this report to have been quickly followed by clinical trials to test the concept in humans, with results within a few months. But those who know how the medical world actually behaves nowadays will not be surprised to learn that nothing of the sort took place instead, many research groups tried to test the concept in tissue culture. Some obtained positive results, some negative, turning a simple question into a contentious issue.25 The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation did fund a clinical trial, but as of April 2006, two years after the Yale groups published report, the trial has yet to progress beyond basic safety studies; the question of efficacy has not been addressed.26
Some cystic fibrosis patients, however, were unwilling to wait years and years for the medical world to get its act together. They immediately began trying curcumin treatments on their own. The results varied from excellent to poor.27 Since many of these self-experiments used curcumin without bioavailability enhancers, and none of them seem to have used both piperine and quercetin as enhancers, it is possible that curcumins low bioavailability index may account for the variable results.
Recent scientific studies provide evidence that turmeric can inhibit the activation of Epstein-Barr Virus a herpes-family virus thought to be a cause or contributor to many diseases, such as Burkitts lymphoma, infectious mononucleosis, Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and numerous cancers and lymphomas.28
Are curcumin supplements effective for treating or preventing Alzheimers or Parkinsons Diseases, Cystic Fibrosis, or the other ailments mentioned in this article? We arent allowed to tell you, so you should take a look at some of the references cited here, and then decide for yourself.

Thermite reference in 1951 movie "The thing from another world"
var VideoID = "7917"; var Width = 585; var Height = 370;
Here is an old Hollywood reference to thermite from back in the early '50s. This is a clip from the 1951 movie "The thing from another world" or more commonly known as "The Thing." The story begins as an Air Force crew (with a lone newsman (Douglas Spencer) tagging along) is ordered to fly up to a remote base in the North Pole to investigate reports of a mysterious aircraft crash. Led by Captain Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), the crew is greeted by a chilling Artic air, which serves as an omen of "things" to come. After examining the information available, head scientist Dr. Carrington (Robert Carthwaite) surmise that this craft it is not of this world and with the help of the good Captain decide to lead an expedition out to the crash site. Upon arriving at the crash site, their assumptions prove to be correct. The saucer now lies under tons of ice. Captain Hendry orders his crew to plant thermite bombs around the circumference of the ship to help melt away the ice.

But the real story isn't the obvious moronic drivel concocted by this yellow-journalistic rag of disinformation, it is the collection of well-informed comments left on their site…. 147 so far, the overwhelming majority of which are critical of the official conspiracy theory and also of this collection of nonsense that tries to pass itself off as news.

270 degrees weakens steel: Call for action
Architects and engineers take notice. In lieu of the following video testimony I call on the experts to find a more suitable material than steel in the manufacture of major household appliances such as stoves and furnaces. I have warned my wife about the issue and she has agreed to be very careful when using our existing stove not to exceed the 270-degree weakening point, the result of which could make pizza take a very long time to cook. I call upon the experts in metallurgy in the 911-truth community to please expedite plans immediately for an alternative material to use in the production of these household appliances. I am not too familiar with the weakening points of other metals and so I make my plea for help from the experts. I am no expert on steel properties as such but I will offer my services in manufacturing tools for prototype and production when the time comes. We owe it to the world to help keep them safe from these obviously dangerous items. I for one feel fortunate that our stove hasn't already melted all over the kitchen and will immediately alert the manufacturer to make them aware of the obvious design flaw.

Energized by the strong uptake of smartphones and tablet PCs, Taiwan's number two contract chip-maker UMC has spent US$110 million in Singapore to spearhead the company's R&D and manufacturing for advanced specialty process technologies.
Shares in Taiwan closed slightly higher Wednesday as investors locked in gains they posted earlier in the session before U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before Congress, dealers said.
Shares of Hermes Microvision Inc., one of Taiwan's leading semiconductor inspection tool and equipment suppliers, extended their gains Wednesday morning as they played catch-up with shares of Largan Precision Co., dealers said.
Taiwan's jobless rate fell 0.1 percentage points in April from a month earlier to 4.07 percent, the lowest level since July 2008 when unemployment stood at 4.06 percent, the government said Wednesday.
The U.S. dollar rose against the New Taiwan dollar Wednesday, gaining NT$0.018 to close at NT$29.960, as the greenback recouped early losses on the back of local central bank intervention, dealers said.
The production value of Taiwan's petrochemical sector for the first quarter of this year fell about 8 percent from a year earlier as a result of falling product prices on weaker global demand, according to a government report released yesterday.
Bayer Material Science, a unit of the Bayer Group, said Taiwan's well-established electronics industry has provided much inspiration that the polymer company needs to develop materials that enhance the efficiency of consumer electronics.
French engineering company Schneider Electronic SA expressed optimism Wednesday about the outlook for Taiwan's data center sector thanks to rising demand for cloud computing-based applications.

Jacobsen Syndrome
Jacobsen syndrome is a rare chromosome disorder that affects multiple aspects of physical and mental development.
Jacobsen syndrome is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, some degree of mental impairment, and certain types of birth defects, especially of the heart. Other common medical complications include recurrent infections, decreased platelet count, failure to thrive, and slow growth. The syndrome derives its name from a Danish physician, Dr. Petra Jacobsen, who first described an affected child in 1973. It is also known as 11q deletion syndrome or partial 11q monosomy syndrome because a specific region of one copy of chromosome 11 is missing and thus an affected person has one out of a possible two copies of the genes in that region. It is the loss of these genes that leads to the multiple problems found in Jacobsen syndrome.
Genetic profile
The loss of genetic material from a specific segment of chromosome 11q, which at least includes the critical region at band 11q24.1, leads to the manifestations of Jacobsen syndrome. There are several ways in which this portion of chromosome 11 can be deleted. In at least two-thirds of Jacobsen syndrome cases there is a partial chromosome 11q deletion (a terminal deletion) that begins at band q23 and extends through the end of the chromosome. The remainder of cases are attributed to the loss of this chromosome 11q genetic material due a deletion within, but not including, the end of the chromosome (an interstitial deletion), or due to a chromosome rearrangement such as an unbalanced chromosome translocation or a ring chromosome.
Most deletions and chromosome rearrangements responsible for Jacobsen syndrome are not familial; they are the result of a new or de novo genetic change that occurred only in the gamete (the egg or sperm) contributed by the mother or father of that individual. Less often, the origin of chromosome deletion or rearrangement is familial. In a minority of cases a parent of an affected child has a folate-sensitive fragile site at chromosome band 11q23.3 that can cause chromosomal breakage and subsequent deletion of chromosome 11q when inherited. Also, there are children who have inherited an unbalanced chromosome translocation from a parent who is a balanced translocation carrier.

SWAT Teamed Called out in Midland
By: Stephanie Sobic
Updated: September 12, 2010
Midland Police were dealing with a situation of their own, early this morning.
At around 4am, MPD responded to a family violence call at a residence on North Garfield. There, they learned that Trey Loyd Bailey, allegedly chocked and assaulted a female.
According to reports, Bailey started to choke the female victim, but she managed to escape. Both Bailey and the victim left the residence only to return later and that's when Bailey assaulted her. The victim fled again and went to the hospital. At that time, Bailey showed police he had a gun and that's when the swat team was called out and they ended up filling the residence with tear gas.
Bailey surrendered and was arrested for assault of a family member.

Flash update: Shoshanna Sale
We checked out the Shoshanna sale this morning right when it opened at 10 - who can resist those flattering one-shoulder dresses?? - and it was madness! Tomorrow is the last day, and we'd recommend getting there early, taking a late lunch or leaving work early to beat the post-work rush.
Stock items were $70 or $100, and samples are $50—but huge! In the past we were able to get our hands on a few 2s and 4s but they were practically nonexistent today. There were plenty of swimsuits, but try-ons weren't allowed, so we deemed it too risky for our wallets.
Not sure how many good samples will be left tomorrow (only nice one we saw was stained)…as we sadly left empty-handed this morning, despite digging around for an hour. Good luck and let us know if you find anything awesome!
If any of us go tomorrow we'll post an update.
