Former OSU running back Herschel Sims pleads not guilty to forgery
BY KELLY HINES World Sports Writer
Friday, June 22, 2012
6/22/12 at 6:18 AM
Former Oklahoma State running back Herschel Sims pleaded not guilty Thursday to two felony counts of second-degree forgery in connection with another football player's claim that $700 was stolen from his bank account.
Sims, who was dismissed from the Cowboy football team three weeks ago for a violation of team rules and is no longer enrolled at OSU, appeared in Payne County District Court on Thursday afternoon.
The case will resume July 11. Sims was charged June 5 with second-degree forgery, which is punishable by imprisonment for up to seven years for each count.
Sims is accused of forging a bank withdrawal slip with the account number of OSU linebacker Jeremiah Tshimanga, first for $500 and then for $200, according to court documents.
On May 18, Tshimanga reported to campus police that his identification card was stolen, taken to Stillwater National Bank on April 27 and used to withdraw money from his account twice, according to an incident report.
Tshimanga was shown snapshots of the suspect and identified him as Sims, according to a police affidavit. The police report states that Tshimanga said he confronted the suspect and asked for the money back, and the suspect confessed but has failed to repay him.
According to the affidavit, an officer questioned Sims on May 30 and he admitted to using Tshimanga's ID to withdraw money from his account and forging his signature on the withdrawal slips.
Steve Warren, Sims' coach at Abilene (Texas) High School, said last month that Sims told him: "I made the mistake of getting the money myself, coach. I should have let him do it and I didn't. But we had an agreement that I was going to borrow that money from him and pay him back."
As a freshman, Sims played in the final nine games last season, rushing for 242 yards and two touchdowns. He is the only five-star recruit to play for the Cowboys immediately after high school.

Lady Gaga somehow more famous than before
(the other night at my house)
8yo daughter: Is "Lady Gaga" her real name?
Me: No, I think it's Stefanie.
8yo: Stefanie Gaga?
Anyway, Stefanie Gaga now has 10 million Twitter followers and marked the occasion with a tweet : http://twitpic.com/4xtnac - "10MillionMonsters! I'm speechless, we did it! Its an illness how I love you. Leaving London smiling."
Stefanie Gaga is also the first person to reach 1 billion YouTube views and ten million Facebook fans. She's now launching new songs through the game Farmville.
If I didn't know better, I would say she almost enjoys all the attention.
There are reports, however, that deep below the ocean's surface there is a small subspecies of crustacean - it feeds on trace minerals - that is not all that familiar with her work. She will not stop, won't REST!, until that situation is remedied.

School Nurse Reveals the Chilling Details From CT Shooting: The Moment She Saw the Killer and How Long She Hid in a Closet
Sally Cox has been the school nurse at Sandy Hook Elementary for fifteen years. Last Friday began as any other– with the pledge of allegiance, followed by a locking of the outer doors at 9:15.
But roughly 15 minutes later, before the normal stream of children had time to come in with the usual coughs and ailments, Cox said she heard a rough "popping."
"My first thought was, was this something with the heating– something– or did something fall?" she remembered shakily.
But she had a sort of sense of impending doom when the secretary called her name, remembering the fear in her voice.
That "popping" had likely been the gunman shooting his way into the school, and he was headed straight for the nurse's office.
Cox related what happened next:
Sally Cox: …The popping kept going off. And I just dove underneath my computer desk. The back of the desk has a small opening for, like, wires to come out. And I just peeked. I could see his feet and his legs from the knees down. And he– his feet were facing in my direction. And I just froze with fear. And then he just– it was just seconds and then he turned around and I could hear him walk out. I heard the door close and then I just heard popping starting all over again. And then the secretary, she was down behind my desk and we pulled the phone off the desk and she called 911.
[Interviewer] Scott Pelley: And she said what?
Sally Cox: She said– I– she said, "We have a shoo– please send help right away. We have a shooter in the building." And then we just wanted to get out of there. And then we just ran into my big supply closet… We pulled that door closed. So we were behind two locked doors. And we could just hear the popping continue. And we heard screams. There's nothing we could do. You know? It was just a helpless, horrible feeling. You know? And just like a nightmare that– couldn't believe that– you know, you just think it's a bad dream. After some time, I think it was about 11:15, so we had been in that closet for about an hour and a half, I opened the door and I peeked out, 'cause my office has a lot of windows and looks into the courtyard. And I just saw what looked like maybe SWAT people but I didn't know, you know, who they were. I didn't know if there were other shooters. And it wasn't until 1:15 when I– somebody was jiggling the door. And– but nobody called out. So I decided to be brave enough and open that door into the office and a lot of state police officers were there at that point. And they were very surprised to see me. [Emphasis added]
Cox had been in the office roughly four hours by the time she left. When she was escorted from the building, officers told her to shut her eyes to spare her the sight of the students and teachers she once cared for.
Here is video from CBS' special report, which also includes interviews with those close to the Lanza family, a student in Lanza's English class, and an expert in school shootings:

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 2:43pmWhat a tragedy this is. It's an insult that the political powers will use this to further their agenda, as Obama is already ramping up to now. You know, if you were to search the home of Oprah or Michael Moore, you would no doubt find spoons, forks, and all kinds of eating paraphernalia, but that doesn't make them fat, it's their own behavior.
You can't idiot proof the world, but you can take away everyone's freedom trying.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 5:36pmSo…….I read that the mother knew this kid was nuts, and warned the babysitter 15 years ago…when he was ten years old…but at twenty, she looked the other way, this nut bag had access to weapons and she or no one else ever noticed ?????? Good grief, just look at the photo of this turd….you tell me he does not look nuts…..was his mom an NEA liberal, or what ? Don't judge ….correct……
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 6:08pmSome kind of Nurse ! She hid while the little kids were being slaughtered – I would hate to experience her coming Nightmares as she relives her Cowardice !
Posted on December 18, 2012 at 12:27amIt's unfortunate that no one, not even a clergy from the prayer vigil the other night said the words that are responsible for this tragedy. It's called "SIN" people, we live in a sinful world, a world filled with evil. Yes there are some good people but they are sinners as well, and until we all realize that the only answer for sin is in a "Savior" and we repent of our sin and except the price that was paid for on the Cross, this world is lost. I was really astonished to not here one pastor invoke the name of Jesus Christ, sin, repentance, humility, seeking God, turning from our wicked ways, where are these pastors preaching, what are they preaching that is a better question. What this young man did was horrific, but he was totally devoid of righteousness and filled with sin. Everyone talks about the mother and her love for her guns and the sport of it, but did she believe in God, did she attend church, was the young man grounded in faith, obviously not. It's not the "guns" people that do the killing, they are but an instrument of the evil behind the weapon. Until we face the fact of evil in our world and the obvious choice to repent of that evil nothing will change, nothing. Someone said, the Devil came to Newtown Friday, well the Devil came to everytown today and tomorrow.Mary711

Posted on December 18, 2012 at 1:13amWeird times.
Socialistslayer, I thought the same thing about the nurse. But then I remembered that a scene needs to be secure for first responders to even come in. Behind two locked doors, she couldn't tell what was going on much. When things got quiet, she might have helped a little, but this was not what a school nurse handles. This is more for an EMT or Paramedic. Nurses are good at whatever they have experience doing. A school nurse for 15 years, doesn't have know how to handle this. Nurses should be trained for all sorts of events, or have EMTs.
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 2:17pmI am confused by the statement " there was nothing we could do" . How about taking out your gun and shooting this POS. Has anybody noticed that the very 1st thing the survivors do after one of these nightmares is to run straight into the arms of a man or woman who is holding a gun ?

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 3:03pmEven if you don't have a gun, cowering in the corner? Give me a break … with a handgun it is very difficult to hit a moving target even if youa re a pretty decent shot which 99% of people (including cops) are not. Studies have shown police shoot-outs happen at less than 7 yards and the cops miss 80% of the time.
You and a fwe others attack the guy and save the kids…. maybe a few people get shot, better than 20 kids…. American have become a bunch of cowards.

Problem solvers work with what is and what can be done not wishful thinking. 0.5% of people are going to be a dangerous problem sometime in their life. It is not possible to find them all and prevent them from injuring others. Thinking you can is wishful thinking. Reality making schools weapon free zones are having an effect of being a nut magnet. The genie is out of the bottle. The response time for a school is what 20 min? And they announce their coming with lights and sirens blazing. Mostly they show up to do forensics. Limit access and be ready to meet deadly force (bad people) with advantaged deadly force. Look to countries that have dealt with extreme violence in public places.
The school principal heroically through her life at the killer. She would have changed the out come drastically had she been allowed the tools, training and protected site to control a limited entry zone with a clear kill zone and the will to in force it. Wishing all guns would just go away and we can find all crazies and stop them preemptively is not reality. Learn from it. Deal with it! -

The nurse who was looking through the hole in her desk, could have waited until he turned around, seen that he had a weapon, and if she was armed, could have ended it then.-
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 1:51pmDon't tell me than more gun control is the answer. If two or more in the front part of the school would have been armed, this would have been a lot less of a tragedy.

Kip Kinkles (Springfield, Oregon) parents did the same thing by throwing gasoline on a fire with the exact same results. If my kids showed behavior problems the last thing I would do is allow them access to weapons!

Thank God…someone gets it!
ok…lets play it all out in our heads for a moment…the shooter kid at about 9:40 comes into the school ans starts shooting people….QUESTION: what was the FIRST call made after all that started?? How about…911….! Why 911 someone may ask? BECAUSE IT WAS TO GET SOMEONE TO THE SCHOOL AS QUICLY AS POSSIBLE….WITH A GUN!
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 1:13pmIf Obama really believes that guns are the problem he should demand that his security unit be unarmed as well. After all guns don't protect people correct?

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 12:10pmAfter Columbine – I have a nephew who had a friend that was there and lived – I told most everyone thatl I talked with that there should be a volunteer 'cadre' of fully screened and qualified parents from each school that would be assigned to patrols of 2-3 each day (wearing high vis vests) on a rotating basis. They wouldn't necessarily need to be off duty police, just screened, qualified and available.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:41amOnce again, a mentally disturbed person has used weapons to express their mental state. Don't blame the weapon; blame the persons who know he was disturbed. Mother was aware he had problems and was getting worse and yet she had these weapons in the house and apparently they were not secured. And going one step further, if a school staff person had been armed it could have prevented the carnage. What did the school do when the shooter allegedly tried a day or two before to enter the school? Was it reported? Did police follow up on the report? Clearly there was no further precautions taken if this was the case. What ever the investigation turns up it will NOT be the weapons fault though the Democrats will attempt to restrict their use in the future.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 12:34pmIt may not be Politically Correct to blame a School Teacher who taught Elementary School for the murder of 20 Children,…But she also taught her violent mentally ill deranged child to be a Weapon Marksman at his many trips with her to a gun range and NOT locking up those guns with a Gun safe and Gun Locks…but that is exactly what we should do…… if we actually want to learn from this tragic lesson…….Instead I fear we will blame everybody else including the Gun.
Guns don't kill people…in this case a stupid teacher who taught a mentally ill person to be a marksman did…..
..tell me….If you lived with a mentally deranged person (who liked to burn himself)….would you lock up your guns….?….Or….would you teach him to be a marksman and give him full access to those weapons…. -
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 1:05pmAll we know about the mother is that she knew her son had Aspergers. That isn't a mental illness and doesn't result in mass shooting violence. So stop judging her because we just don't know enough.
I always wanted a gun to target shoot but never purchased one because I have a son with a mental illness and I didn't think it wise to have one around the house. So if this mother knew he was mentally ill then she should not have had the guns available to him.
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 1:10pm@Birdbanbob
Not to split hairs, but this demonic freak is not a marksman, he is a murderer. What he did, did not require skill, it required nothing but evil intent. He point blank range shoot little innocent children. All he needed to know how to do, was load and pull the trigger, it took no skill.
Not sure I can word this right, but had he gone down town, and did an attack on the police station, against armed opponents, and killed 20 of them, them folks could call him a trained marksman.
Marksman is a positive in my book. I train for competition, including shooting the nationals at Camp Perry, Ohio. I do dry fire drills until it hurts. If someone calls me a marksman, it is a honor.
Do not honor this piece of filth with such a word. Tiger Woods is a "Golf Champion". If a thug stole a golf club, and beat his neighbor to death with it, we would not call him a Golf Champion.
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:36amWhat a horrible tragedy! Maybe schools should be talking to Front Sight. They have been offering free training for teachers, administrators and school faculty to teach them how to use a gun in defense of the kids in this kind of situation. More gun laws or taking away guns from law abiding people will not stop insane people from doing insane acts! Remember what Timothy McVey did with fertilizer and fuel in a rental truck or the guy in China that stabbed to death over 30 people!

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:32amQuite right, nothing she could do (without a weapon). I would wager that if teachers were allowed to carry concealed weapons this would have ended much quicker and with less loss of life.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:29amI believe every school principle and vice principal should have a concealed carry permit, be armed and trained for such terrible event. If just one person was able to defend these children we would most likely have no where near the number of dead children. God bless these children's souls and their parents. The most horrible event the mind can imagine happening. May the shooter rot in Hell for eternity.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:21amWe ought to insist, IF government-run, tax-funded welfare schools exist at all (and they should not), that all teachers carry as a condition of their employment and licensing. If they cannot protect the children who are there because the state forces them to be, they must be safe.
If any teachers have the idiotic notion that guns are evil, that they, as the purest of the pure, cannot touch one, then let them open their own schools and attract parents as stupid as they.
Mr. O'bama, will there ever BE any Jobs?
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 12:48pmRight on!! If everyone in our school systems had concealed weapons permits and were proficient in using their weapons, these shootings would all but cease. Don't ban guns, get them into the hands of law abiding citizens like teachers, etc. and watch this insanity drop to zero.
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:09amYou know honestly…..why can't we leave these people alone and let them mourn and heal in dignity and privacy? Do we really need an hour by hour analysis by "experts" from our entertainment-as-news 24-hour newcycle? Do we really need an army of news crews camped in that town interviewing anyone with even a remote association to the horrible events of last week?

Isn't it insulting and nauseating enough that our news and entertainment networks set the images of this appalling tragedy to the "appropriate" music for our voyeuristic consumption and pleasure? Haven't we as a society cheapened this enough for the families and the town?
Leave these people alone and let them get on with their mourning and their healing…enough already.-
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:18amThey can't let this crisis go to waste. The public must be beaten down with it. Suffocated by it. Drowned in it. There is money to be made by the networks and the fascists hacks in Washington want to pass regulation and enforce their stranglehold on the populace. This is their opportunity and they don't care who they have to exploit to use it.
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:24amIt won't work.
Obamamama himself will be flapin his hatch over the airways about this.
This is news and you can't stop it. 24 hours a day for 6 months. -
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:55amCAVALLO…just switch them off, don't click on the link or change the channel they'll learn the lesson. It's time we became humans beings again instead of the Roman mob our handlers have conditioned us into being.
Honestly…when I saw images of this vile and senseless act set to music the blood rushed to my head..I'd had enough. Some clown at a TV network (and I'm putting Fox in there too) feels that "sad and mournful" music should accompany these images like a soundtrack to a movie or TV series. How effing detached from reality and human dignity can these people be? I've been praying for these babies and for the troubled mind who took their lives every night since this happened. This is what they deserve…not armies of news crews and cameras and microphones shoved in their faces and images of their horrible loss set to music for mine and your entertainment. effing enough already!

If given the choice, most of these students would not have been in that school to be mowed down because if given a voucher, they would be paying a home school teacher or going to a private school. . -
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:00amThe Blaze seems to be getting just as bad as the Alphabet networks in milking this tragedy for every angle and possible heart wrenching interview. Done repeatedly. The networks seem almost in ecstatic glee over being able to run with this football all the way through the new year, dramatizing, analyzing, exploiting, and sensationalizing. I can promise that TV movie rights are being sought, and scripts hastily already being scribbled (all with Bobo the wonder marxist as great savior and healer and champion of children). I don't for one instance buy that any of these "journalists" give a crap about the kids, just what they can squeeze out of the situation pretending like they do.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:44amYes! Last night I turned on FOXNews and on the screen was an on-going list of the murdered, with a sad song playing in the background (I turned the channel). While I am saddened for those who lost their lives, I have to agree with you CAVALLO. ALL media outlets are and will be using this tragedy for their own benefit. It's just sick. They and this admin. do not give a fig for the dead. They just see this as a means to promote themselves and their agenda. Sick Basss-turds!
Posted on December 17, 2012 at 12:02pmAgreed CAVALLO.

Willie 2012/06/25 05:37:25No+10I can only speak for my (50 year old) self. There's a big difference between noticing that someone is attractive and being attracted to them. There are some teenaged girls who look awfully mature, and who are attractive. Do I notice? You bet. I'm not dead. Am I attracted to them? No sir. Beneath that mature looking exterior, I know, beats the heart of a child.

YesYes; our bodies maybe more mature, but our spirits are still youngLol.
When I was about 30, I was certainly attracted to a couple of 18 and 19 yr olds.
When they matured over the next year or two, they began to notice me.
Nothing to concern over however, life works itself out lol ;)
As a kid, I had one gf 4 days olderthan me and another 5 or 6 yrs youngerLol!
Big Deal! They were the 2 nicest relationships I ever had - nothing ever went on at all between us - not even kissing ... pretty innocent back then lol

This can't be true of all men, of course, which is why I said "sometimes".
I am young enough (21) to be attracted to some teenage girls (say 15 and up) without feeling like a DOM or a creeper. - Harold 2012/06/26 14:32:12
- David William 2012/06/26 07:39:16Yes+1Physically yes, and emotionally only if they're young adults. You have to understand that if a man was ever 16 once(which they were, as was everyone), they probably liked other 16 year old girls at the time. So when your 21 does that attraction magically vanish? No it doesn't, and it never does. You will ALWAYS know what you find attractive, and age has nothing to do with it. But so long as it remains thoughts, it's none of your business and it's not wrong. When older men act towards younger women, bringing potential harm, both physical and emotional into the mix... that's when it becomes everyone's business.. because that man failed to control his impulses well enough and acted in a selfish manner.
- specGlass 2012/06/26 07:04:37Yesdefinitely Yes if there is a similarity in taste and charisma of mind..being attracted to a teenager is like walking through a tunnel of happiness where everything that is inspired is purely extracted from the feeling of the heart

When you get older, you'll realize that terminologies in life are merely just Situated ;)
If you enter a road from one direction, and then enter it from another, you will hardly recognize it.
Yet it's the exact same road of 5 mins earlierLol! -
Virtually all relationships are Perspective-based.
They act muchlike Einsteins's Law of Relativity.
In spirit, on the other hand, all things are eternal - the spiritual truth is unchangeable.
People's ages are changeable - yet an older person still feels young inside, because the spirit is young and, of itself, unchangeable!
When you are 30, you will still see some 20 yr olds as attractive.
When you get there, you will find outLol!

No such animalROFL!!!
The spirit is Eternal - it is Forever Young ROFL ROFL rofl!!!!
It is the vitality and rejuvenation factor ;) -
I don't think everyone has a young spirit. Maybe some people have mature young spirits-- perhaps?

A smaller Hibiki 12 for Japan & Europe
Post by Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub.
From this spring, Suntory will be seeking to further push the global presence of its flagship premium blended whisky "Hibiki 12". It will come with a slightly different label, and will also be available in a slightly smaller size (500ml). After its debut at home on April 2nd, it will be rolled out in the UK and France, where it should be available towards the end of May.
Hibiki was created in 1989 to mark Suntory's 90th anniversary. Twenty years later, in 2009, the company decided to introduce a 12-year old version to the European market, with the aim of building a global brand. A couple of months later, Suntory also started selling their 12yo in Japan. It has picked up numerous awards since and its popularity - both at home and abroad - keeps growing, witness last year's 20% increase in total sales.
The introduction of a smaller sized bottle is an attempt to expand Hibiki's fan base. Suntory is hoping it will encourage people who haven't tried it yet to pick up a bottle for themselves whilst also making it a bit more appealing – economically, that is – as a potential gift.

CD/LP/Track Review
Bonobos Convergence: Who's Chuck Fimp? (2006)
I know what you are thinking. Who are the bonobos and why are they converging? I wondered too. A little bit of research informed me that the bonobo is considered the most "human-like of the chimpanzees. They share many of our hand gestures and facial expressions, and will even walk upright when they want to. Scientists postulate that the bonobos can feel and show sympathy, kindness, altruism and many more human emotions and traits. Unlike their chimp cousins, the bonobos are extremely non-violent creatures. It turns out that the secret to the bonobos' peaceful life is abundant and indiscriminate sex. In fact, sex, lots of sex, is the main activity when bonobos "converge.
Bonobos Convergence, a band named after the exhausted and satisfied bonobos, is a power trio featuring keyboardist Pete Orenstein, percussionist Frank Registrato and guitarist Vaylor Trucks. They play music that is challenging, yet full of monkey business. Their sound is also free of the pretension you might expect from such highly skilled musicians these days.
Who's Chuck Fimp? is one of those rare CDs that delivers both on monster chops and popular appeal. As a general rule, I don't often get the opportunity to listen to music that I think should be registering on the pop charts. But this is one of the happy exceptions. The album is full of jazz-fusion, blues, jam band energy, engaging lyrics and absorbing hooks. Some tunes on this album should be receiving widespread radio airplay.
If anything, since we don't hear it all that often in modern music, the trio's dominant sound is the organ. Because of this, at times BC is very much a modern jam band version of early Grand Funk. Orenstein's singing even sounds like a "cooler version of Mark Farner. If that wasn't weird enough, Registrato's vocals sound like Yes' Jon Anderson, without the reverb! In fact, you would have been hard-pressed to convince me that he is not Jon Anderson on the opening "Whimsical Fantasy.
Each has a very expressive voice. But when the two vocalists harmonize, their sound is quite distinctive. It doesn't hurt that they both write engaging lyrics as well. The third member of the band, Vaylor Trucks, does no lead vocalizing, but he kills on guitar. Whether playing a laidback acoustic or burning like an electric mother a la Tommy Bolin, Trucks is a driving force throughout.
The best tunes are not the candidates for pop stardom. "Former Future is a diabolical call to get up and dance. "Wonder is an Allmanesque fusillade that features a few tips of the hat to Deep Purple. These two particular jams are much too exhilarating for today's radio programmers.
Who's Chuck Fimp?, one of the best albums of 2006, is evidence of what can be accomplished by terrific, imaginative musicians utilizing the tools of their influences. In the end, this is a unique sound presented in a creative and fun way. I consider myself to be one "chucky limp" to have heard this album.
Track Listing: Whimsical Fantasy; Flag for Utopia; Home on Derange; MASH; Former Future; Today; Wonder; Or; Freaker�s Jam; Freakin� Ordinary.
Personnel: Pete Orenstein: organ, keyboards, JR, vocals; Frank Registrato: drums, percussion, vocals; Vaylor Trucks: guitar, midi guitar, bass.

Article Free Passsuperfluidity, the frictionless flow and other exotic behaviour observed in liquid helium at temperatures near absolute zero (−273.15 °C, or −459.67 °F), and (less widely used) similar frictionless behaviour of electrons in a superconducting solid. In each case the unusual behaviour arises from quantum mechanical effects.
The stable isotopes of helium are helium-3 (or 3He), with two protons and one neutron, and helium-4 (or 4He), with two protons and two neutrons. 4He forms the bulk of naturally occurring helium, but the lighter isotope 3He has been formed, since about 1950, in experimentally useful quantities by the decay of tritium produced in nuclear reactors.
Both helium isotopes remain liquid at low pressures down to absolute zero, and both display the property of superfluidity, though the onset occurs at very different temperatures in the two cases. Superfluidity (in the form of frictionless flow through narrow capillaries) was discovered in 4He below 2.17 K (− 290.98 °C, or − 455.76 °F) in 1938, simultaneously by Soviet physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa and by Canadian physicists John F. Allen and A.D. Misener. (The transition to the superfluid phase is called the lambda-transition.) The light isotope 3He shows no traces of superfluidity or any other anomalous behaviour down to a temperature of 2.65 K (− 270.5 °C, or − 454.9 °F), but in 1972 American physicists Douglas D. Osheroff, Robert C. Richardson, and David M. Lee found that below this temperature the liquid has three different anomalous phases, called A, B, and A1, each of which displays many of the same exotic phenomena as superfluid 4He, though often in somewhat less spectacular form. Thus, these phases are collectively known as superfluid 3He.
Behaviour of superfluid phases
The most spectacular signature of the transition of liquid 4He into the superfluid phase is the sudden onset of the ability to flow without apparent friction through capillaries so small that any ordinary liquid (including 4He itself above the lambda transition) would be clamped by its viscosity; thus, a vessel that was "helium-tight" in the so-called normal phase (i.e., above the lambda temperature) might suddenly spring leaks below it. Related phenomena observed in the superfluid phase include the ability to sustain persistent currents in a ring-shaped container; the phenomenon of film creep, in which the liquid flows without apparent friction up and over the side of a bucket containing it; and a thermal conductivity that is millions of times its value in the normal phase and greater than that of the best metallic conductors. Another property is less spectacular but is extremely significant for an understanding of the superfluid phase: if the liquid is cooled through the lambda transition in a bucket that is slowly rotating, then, as the temperature decreases toward absolute zero, the liquid appears gradually to come to rest with respect to the laboratory even though the bucket continues to rotate. This nonrotation effect is completely reversible; the apparent velocity of rotation depends only on the temperature and not on the history of the system. Most of these phenomena also have been observed in the superfluid phase of liquid 3He, though in somewhat less spectacular form.
It is thought that there is a close connection between the phenomena of superfluidity and superconductivity; indeed, from a phenomenological point of view superconductivity is simply superfluidity occurring in an electrically charged system. Thus, the frictionless flow of superfluid 4He through narrow capillaries parallels the frictionless carrying of electric current by the electrons in a superconductor, and the ability of helium to sustain circulating mass currents in a ring-shaped container is closely analogous to the persistence of electric currents in a superconducting ring. Less obviously, it turns out that the nonrotation effect is the exact analogue of the Meissner effect in superconductors. Many other characteristic features of superconductivity, such as the existence of vortices and the Josephson effect, have been observed in the superfluid phases of both 4He and 3He.

Public interest in council's Monday night closed session
By Stephanie Johns
Staff Writer
The Madison City Council spent three hours in closed session Monday night discussing personnel, came back into the room long enough to resume the special called session and adjourned without discussing or voting on personnel.
During the closed session the council requested that former City Manager Charles Young speak with them. He was gone from the meeting room for approximately 10 minutes.
About a dozen people – city employees and members of the public – waited to hear the results of the closed session but left without learning what was said.
The council's work session Monday afternoon included reviewing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) documents that City Planner Bryce Jaeck had prepared.
Jaeck said he had received no comments from the public and no comments passed on through council members.
He asked the Georgia Department of Transportation for and received an extension on their deadline, which is March 31, 2013.
He noted that Morgan County Planning and Zoning Director Chuck Jarrell continues to work on the county's ADA plan.
Councilman Michael Naples asked about the city's Title VI compliance officer. Title VI pertains to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Jaeck replied that selecting a compliance officer is "a whole other animal." The compliance officer would be responsible for handling Title VI equality complaints. He noted that if a city did not have 20,000 people in its community, they could follow the Georgia Department of Transportation's Title VI rules.
"For us, it's more adopt a few documents, tweak a few contracts, and name a person to handle any Title VI equality complaints," he said.
Naples said it would not hurt to have a compliance officer and that it would be wise to select someone.
Mayor Bruce Gilbert asked the council what they thought about naming Jaeck their compliance officer or would they rather have the city manager name a person as he sees fit.
City Attorney Joe Reitman recommended the latter option.
Reitman then updated council regarding the Dangerous Dog Ordinance and said that he and Animal Control Officer Cindy Wiemann had been "fine tuning" the language and have clarified or strengthened state law.
"After a couple of months of working on it, I'm happy with it as presented," said Wiemann.
Reitman said the council will vote on the ordinance the second Monday in November.
Gilbert advised council members to take the ordinance and read over it.
The work session adjourned and the special called session began.
City Manager David Nunn recommended that council members approve a GMA lease/purchase agreement for a rear loader sanitation truck. The 2012 F-750 truck will cost them more than $106,000 in a five-year lease/purchase agreement.
Nunn said they have used the GMA program "many times in the past" and that it has "worked well" in their budget. He said they should get more than 10 years out of this truck.
Councilman Joe DiLetto said that the rate of interest was "not too bad."
The council unanimously approved Nunn's request to have the mayor sign the lease/purchase agreement.
As to the Georgia Power AMI Water Meter Reading pilot project for 300 meters, Nunn explained that there would be no cost to the city to have Georgia Power read water meters for a period of six months.
The city already has purchased the retro fit devices and the contractor will install those for the city, so there is a labor savings there as well.
He said that Georgia Power will concentrate on areas and subdivisions with no gas meters because gas meters would require them to set up separate accounts.
He noted that the pilot project will not only benefit the city, it gives Georgia Power and HD Supply, the company providing the equipment, the chance to prove out a couple of things on the billing side.
DiLetto noted that part of the process involves determining software problems. Nunn responded that Georgia Power has been trying out these meters at their test site for some time.
Councilman Whitey Hunt asked if the city was going to go behind and read meters, too. Nunn responded that they could.
Gilbert asked about spot checks and Nunn replied that they will do "whatever is necessary."
Nunn recommended the council approve the proposal and the council unanimously did so.
Councilmen then unanimously appointed Michelle Watkins as Pension Committee Secretary.
Madison resident Laura Butler then reminded those present that there will be a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Banquet at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Morgan County High School cafeteria.

Are You Serious Jessica Biel?
By ANTOINETTE BUENO
October 28, 2011
There are those starlets, the Hailee Steinfelds and Blake Livelys of the world if you will, who actually can pull off outrageous-looking high-fashion gowns.
...and then there's Jessica Biel.
Jessica showed up at the Fashion Group International's 28th Annual Night of Stars party last night in this ridiculously pouf-sleeved Giambattista Valli dress.
Is that tissue paper wrap on her shoulders, or are those toilet seat covers?
Jessica, Jessica -- When are you going to accept that you're just way too vanilla for a dress like this?
We ALL know who brought Boring Back to JT.

IdeaStorm can help take your idea and turn it into reality.
Over 19,065 ideas submitted. 741,213+ votes. 98,018+ comments. 537+ ideas implemented.
- Polycarbonate (the kind of plastic found in the Nokia Lumia mobile series)
- Carbon fiber back for optimized cooling and durability, complete with an ALIENWARE logo - it's part of the back, not a separate part
- Soft touch edges for comfortable gaming
- Durable buttons
- 2x shoulder buttons
- Sliding joysticks, like the ones on Nintendo 3DS, but with a harder material with soft touch to prevent dents
- The joysticks are placed at the same level as the front panel to prevent damage when transported
- The joysticks can be pressed and function like menu buttons
- The four buttons surrounding each stick are ergonomic and follow a similar layout like the grey buttons of the Game Cube controller. Since you have buttons and joysticks on each side, it doesn't matter if you're a "leftie"
- Unique cooling technology with extremely small and quiet fans coupled with heatsinks integrated in the carbon fibre
- The two fans and outtakes are stationed on the back of the unit, on both sides on the middle to let the user hold the pad vertically or horizontally without the outtake becoming blocked
This will make the Razer Project Fiona feel like a clunky and outdated unit. Although the ALEINWARE P51 is a bit thicker than regular pads, it's not heavy because of the polycarbonate.
The docking includes a dedicated CPU, GPU and RAM in addition to a HDD/SSD that works with the pad to enable gaming on your monitor or TV screen in FullHD or higher! The docking station also charges the pad. You can also play the games on your TV via the docking station while using your pad as a controller. Xbox 360 controllers can be connected to the unit (up to four in addition to the pad). If you're not using the pad, it can be paired with the docking unit for more power. The pad will then take care of the OS tasks while the docking station will be dedicated to gaming.
- 10.1 2560x1440 (16:9) multi-touch OLED display with superb colour reproduction
- SSD up to 512GB
- intel i7 processor
- nVIDIA GPU - unspecified, but able to run modern games at 720p
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
- Bluetooth 3.0
- micro SD slot
- USB 3.0 x 1
- micro USB x 1
- preprietary docking solution
- 2MP web camera - stationed on the right side of the front panel
- Windows 8 with an ALIENWARE skin and optimization for max performance
ALIENWARE P51 docking unit:
- intel i7 quad core Ivy Bridge
- nVIDIA GTX 660 with GDDR5
- 8GB RAM at 1600MHz
- preprietary docking solution
This is a bold take on the pad segment, but if it's done right it will most likely become a new standard. Dedicated for gaming while being portable and sleek enough for everyday usage, the product aims at a wide audience.
PARTNERS TO LOWER THE COST - some additional content will come on a SD card:
- nVIDIA - let them have desktop images, skins and a direct link to their website for updaing of drivers and info etc.
- EA Origin - have their service pre-installed - some demos pre-installed
- Steam - have their service pre-installed
- OnLIVE and/ or Gaikai - have a shortcut to their service pre-installed
- Have demos of games from publishers such as EA, Perfect World, Blizzard, Ubisoft and more installed or zipped on the SSD or microSD card

All valid points, Tricki :)
The docking is optional though, and not needed. What DELL should do, is to implement a program where one can override the game and map buttons to your desire. There are already programs for PC for that :) A controller for a portable unit is not optimal as it makes the unit less portable.

Combining Desktop and Tablet is a good idea, but with extra CPU, RAM... it would double the cost and most people have already a desktop or notebook at home.

Visit the AHIP Coverage Blog for posts on Health Savings Accounts and Consumer-Directed Plans
Health savings accounts (HSAs) and the high-deductible health plans that are paired with them are an increasingly popular choice for individuals, families and employers. This coverage option provides individuals with a comprehensive health insurance plan, while also giving them the opportunity to save tax-deferred funds for qualified medical expenses, such as doctor visits and prescription drugs.
HSA plans provide quality health care coverage and are meeting the needs of patients of different ages, health statuses and socioeconomic backgrounds. They particularly play a vital role in providing health care to millions of Americans who might otherwise be uninsured. In the initial years following the authorization of HSA plans, a report found that 27% of those buying HSA health plans in the individual market previously did not have health insurance. Most HSA plans include "first-dollar" coverage for preventive services. As a result, individuals have access to routine physicals, medical screening tests, immunizations, and well-baby care without having to pay out-of-pocket costs.
All HSA health plans have limits on total out-of-pocket costs, which protect individuals and families against catastrophic health care expenses that may occur. These limits are regulated by law, but many HSA plans sold in the market today typically have much lower limits than the law provides. Many other characteristics of HSA health plans help ensure financial security for individuals and families. Unlike some health care-based accounts, HSA funds roll over from year-to-year, and if individuals leave their employer-sponsored health coverage, they are able to take the account with them to continue paying for health care costs.
HSA health plans became available to consumers in 2004, and their popularity has grown swiftly. More than 13.5 million Americans now choose an HSA health plan for their health care needs.
More than 13.5 million Americans are covered by Health Savings Account (HSA)-eligible insurance plans, a more than 18 percent increase since last year, according to a new census released today by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP). The census also found that the vast majority of HSA plans provide patients with important decision-support tools to help them make more informed health care decisions.
This brief report highlights research and statistics on the market for account-based health plans.
An annual census by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) of U.S. health insurance carriers shows that the number of people covered by health savings account/high-deductible health plans (HSA/HDHPs) totaled 11.4 million in January 2011.

A comprehensive study of financial activity in health savings accounts (HSAs). Data collected from three large banks contain detailed account information of more than 1.2 million HSA accounts open as of December 31, 2009.
For this follow-up study, the responding banks used a geo-coding technique to estimate the income characteristics of those HSA accountholders, which allows analysis of account balances, inflows and outflows by income range.
Washington, - Eight million Americans are covered by Health Savings Account (HSA)-eligible insurance plans, an increase of more than 31 percent since last year, a new census released today by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) finds. Health Savings Accounts were authorized starting in January 2004.
The Health Savings Alliance is a non-partisan, educational and grassroots initiative of America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP). The Alliance is working to urge Congress to strengthen HSAs and HSA health plans, which continue to help protect families from the rising costs of health care.

With a spot open on the Senators' blueline due to the injury to Jared Cowen, Patrick Wierioch is making a case to play in Ottawa once NHL play resumes.
He seems to have recovered from a career-threatening throat injury sustained last season by scoring seven goals and registering 10 points in 18 games for the Baby Sens. Wiercioch also leads Binghamton in plus minus with a plus 14 rating. Keep an eye on the 22-year old rearguard as he may be worthy of a reserve roster spot.

SALT LAKE CITY — No one knows why Adam Lanza committed mass murder at a Connecticut elementary school late last week.
But for at least one Idaho mother, news of the gunshot slaying of 20 children and six faculty members stirred her deepest fears about her own 13-year-old son.
"Every time I hear about a mass shooting, I think about my son. And I wonder if someday, I'll be that mom," Liz Long wrote in a blog post titled "I am Adam Lanza's Mother."
The blog post went viral over the weekend, landed the former BYU student on national television and helped frame a debate about mental health in America, part of a conversation that also includes gun control as a nation mourns the deaths of 20 children and the six deceased adults who loved and taught them.
Liz Long said it is unclear what's wrong with her son, who she called "Michael" in the blog post.
"Autism spectrum, ADHD, oppositional defiant or intermediate explosive disorder have all been tossed around at various meetings with probation officers and social workers and counselors and teachers and school administrators. He's been on a slew of anti-psychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans. Nothing seems to work."
And the mother frets aloud about not having any good choices for his care.
Mental health professionals in Utah Monday empathized with Long's family. But were uncomfortable drawing any conclusions about what drove Lanza to shoot and kill his mother, the elementary schoolchildren and six faculty members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Friday morning
While some national reports have speculated about the possible role of mental illness, a marriage therapist who met with Adam Lanza's parents told Associated Press on Monday that the couple's son had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
The syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder "that begins very early in life and seems to be, by in large, a stable or lifelong trait," said Dr. William McMahon, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Utah School of Medicine.
But that diagnosis does not explain why someone would commit an act of mass violence. In fact, there is no research-based data that links autism spectrum disorder to committing violence against others or one's self, McMahon said.
"Children with ASDs, of which Asperger's is one condition, are unlikely to initiate any aggression," McMahon said.
People with the disorder can become frustrated over their inability to communicate effectively and may resort to physical aggression, but people with ASDs are far more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators, McMahon said. The same holds true for people with mental illness, he said.
Investigators do not yet have a full accounting of the shooter's personal and health history so it is difficult to speculate what led to Friday's events, he said.
"We need to understand this young man's story and we may never know because he's dead and so is his mother," McMahon said.
Dawn Armstrong, assistant director of Valley Mental Health's Carmen B. Pingree Center for Children with Autism, said news accounts of the Lanza home life suggest the shooter's mother, Nancy Lanza, "had a lot on her plate, a lot she was trying to take care of on her own."
While most parents are compassionate and want the best for their children, they cannot replicate the staffing ratios and structure of therapeutic programs at home, Armstrong said.
As children with ASD come into adolescence and age into young adulthood, deficits in social skills and peer relationships can become more problematic.

Is say everyone start acting like Java.
C'mon. Wasn't there just a "I-hate-Java" thread last week...? I personally find these threads a lot more annoying than anything JR posts. My guess is that when anyone from PR sees these types of threads, all they do is shake their heads and move on. If you want something done, then PM somebody...but these sort of threads are going to mostly draw ire from your fellow posters and look more like an attempt to grab attention rather than to make this place a better place to talk about the Bucs.....and if the dude jerks off every time he gets a response, then you have just re-filled his spank bank.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
I miss the old days when guys would flame out on the TBBBB and then the mod would step in and smack them down. It was great to watch, truly enjoyable. Today the thread just gets deleted, it's very boring.
"C'mon. Wasn't there just a "I-hate-Java" thread last week...? I personally find these threads a lot more annoying than anything JR posts."Dude, you used to act the same way. I will say that you've come around and turned into a decent poster. But you've got to expect some of the weaker members of the herd to occasionally crack under the pressure. Like Speedy here, who just hung out a huge 'Java Owns Me' banner.
Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.

Hi everyone,
I've been playing Command and Conquer 3 with the Tiberian Essence mod, but I know that's not the problem, because it happens on vanilla TW too.
However, Tiberian Essence comes bundled with new maps (Frozen River, Dueling Islands, Dueling Islands Classic, and Tiberian Wasteland).
On the Official EA Maps (like Small Town USA, Barstow Badlands, Tournament Arena, etc.) the games periodically slows down, until it becomes hardly playable. However, on the Tiberian Essence Maps, the game runs smoothly, and never slows down.
It seems that something is wrong the the EA Maps that causes my computer to slowdown. If anyone has any insight it'd be greatly appreciated.
By the way, here are my specs (which should be easily able to play this on ultra high)
intel Core i7 360QM (Quad core with hyper threading, essentially 8 functioning cores)
nVidia GeFORCE 630M 1GB
Windows 7 64-bit OS
8 GB of RAM

Malware Patrol is a free, automated and user contributed system that verifies URLs for the presence of Viruses, Trojans, Worms or any other software considered Malware. Lists containing these malicious addresses are available in several formats to help protect Internet users.
What we do?
Your use of this web site constitutes agreement to our Terms and Conditions. If you want to use any data available here in a commercial product or service, please contact us for licensing information.
Why use a block list of URLs?
People frequently ask: "We have a firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware, IDS/IPS, etc - Why do we need a block list of URLs in our proxy or router?"
That is a great question. First of all, it is certainly very important to have multiple trusted sources of intelligence and protection when it comes to Internet security. No single vendor can protect you from all current security threats.
Fraudsters are moving from attacks where spam messages include links to malware or the binaries themselves to more advanced threats. These include the usage of exploit kits that, as the name suggests, try to exploit various vulnerabilities in the victim's machine to download malware. Links to exploit kits can be distributed on spam messages but were also found lately on legitimate hacked web sites.
Attackers are also heavily using "downloaders". It's only intent is to download another binary that happens to be a malware.
The usage of our block lists is very important because we collect and track URLs that point to malware, including the ones used by exploit kits and downloaders. It is common to find malware that is unknown by most, if not all, anti-virus vendors. This results in low detection rates and greater chances of user infections.
So, why take chances when you can have extra protection? Waste no more time and start protecting your network with the data provided by the Malware Patrol. Click here to find all the block lists available.

Rocket Engines Our rocket engines are built to customer specifications. Below is a selection of engines that illustrate some of our capabilities. Click on any engine class to learn more. (listed by order of thrust)
Click here to visit the XR-4K14 media gallery
The 4K14 is one of XCOR's most recent engine designs, and was built specifically for the Rocket Racing League's first X-Racer. The rocket engine is sized for 1,500 lbf, which is the best compromise between acceleration and endurance for the airframe used with this engine.
XCOR's proprietary fuel pump used with this engine demonstrates the ability to pump from an unpressurized tank. The unpressurized wing tanks hold fuel, which improves performance significantly compared to an all pressure-fed system. Most rocket pumps require relatively high tank pressures (60-100 psi) to force the propellant into the pump. However, this piston pump is able to draw propellant with a much lower inlet pressure so no fuel tank pressurization is required.
The 4K14 engine uses a regulated helium pressurization system for the LOX tank that is very similar to the one on the EZ-Rocket.

Karima Burns commands the room with her poem "The Power of Hope" |
Graceland is known for creating lasting, homegrown events. Traditions like the Wednesday Night Movie, New Years in November, Final Fling, and House Meeting were started long ago; though they may change here and there, these are traditions that endure to help define the Graceland Experience.
And with three years of success under its belt, the Campus Ministries event "Hope Speeches" is emerging as one of those promising traditions.
Hope Speeches was begun three years ago by Campus Ministries Interns Zach '08 and Katie '09 Harmon-McLaughlin. Inspired by the TED Speeches the Hope Speeches are an annual event, held at The Coliseum where Graceland students and staff give 5-10 minute speeches devoted to the concept of hope.
Speakers are asked to address hope as it relates to their life and their unique interests. The event is typically peppered by musical performances, poetry reading and other artistic expressions.
This year's event was coordinated by Campus Ministries Intern Christy Pratt '11. Pratt's vision for the event was something everyone could connect to, with a diversity of speakers and themes.
"I wanted people with ideas to have an opportunity to share their thoughts. I wanted people that were really genuine and passionate and would be worth listening to," said Pratt.
Pratt also made a point to covering all aspects of hope—its inspirational and beautiful sides, as well as its darker sides.

Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Abraham-White speaks about improving the world around her. |
"Hope is interesting because not all hope is pretty. It's good to have both sides of it. It's nice to have those really inspiring speeches, but we don't always get hope from being fluffy. We get hope from suffering sometimes. I think that that's beautiful, to have all aspects of that, to have that range," said Pratt.
This year's event took place March 28th. Students filed into the newly renovated Coliseum to hear from a variety of performers. The night began with an address from Pratt, then launched quickly into its assortment of speakers, beginning with next year's Speaker of the Senate Antonia Davidson '14. Jazzmyn Bigsby '12, followed, speaking powerfully about her experience with domestic violence. Campus Minister Matt Frizzel took the stage next, followed by a performance where students from the audience rose and spoke about unity. Later, Liz Deegan '12 used film to express herself, while Trent Ranney '12 spoke about his work with Outreach International and Karima Burns '14 gave a chilling reading of her poem, "The Power of Hope". Graceland Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Abraham-White followed, despite a small head-cold, speaking about the importance of improving your community and Daniel Vogelsang '13 concluded, telling about his experiences studying abroad in Argentina. The night finished with a musical performance of "We Are the World".
Overall, Pratt was overjoyed about the night's success.
"This year's Hope Speeches were about being active in your community and in your world. They were about making change, on a small or big scale, and knowing that you, yourself can make that change," said Pratt. "I hope that people walked away feeling that and feeling passionate and inspired to go and do something about it."

Earth-observing environmental satellite images

Over 120 million years ago, a single mass of granite punched through Earth's crust and intruded into the heart of the Namib Desert in what is now northern Namibia. Today, Brandberg Massif towers over the arid desert below. The locals call it Dâures—the burning mountain. The granite core of this now-dormant volcano is a remnant of a long period of tumultuous volcanic and geologic activity on Earth during which the southern supercontinent of Gondwana was splitting apart. This 2002 Landsat 7 image also captured an older and more-eroded granite intrusion in the southwest. Along the Ugab River at the upper left, cracks line the brown face of an ancient plain of rock transformed into gneiss by heat, pressure, and time.
