Missouri lawmakers are kicking off the state's annual budgeting process this week. The Senate Appropriations Committee will take public testimony on education and health care issues at a hearing Tuesday.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is scheduled to talk with representatives of General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. this week while also attending the North American International Auto Show.
The governor is starting his second term in office by traveling to Detroit to meet with the automobile manufacturers. The trip marks the fourth time Nixon has visited Detroit to meet with auto industry executives since he took office in January 2009.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has appointed a veteran executive of health care systems as director of the Department of Social Services. Alan Freeman is president and CEO of Grace Hill Health Centers, which operates five health care centers and a community health program in St. Louis.
Governor Jay Nixon is voicing opposition to House Republicans' plans to allow teachers in Missouri to carry guns in classrooms.
In a letter to the state's public school superintendents, Nixon says the proposal would put children at risk and take away the authority of local school districts to keep guns out of classrooms.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it is investigating a threat reported by Springfield police against Gov. Jay Nixon.
Governor Jay Nixon urged Missourians today to pause today to remember the victims of the school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's Tax Credit Review Commission has released its revised list of recommendations. Some of the original recommendations have been scaled back: The new list calls for shrinking the cap on Historic Preservation tax credits to $90 million a year, instead of $75 million, and reducing the cap on Low Income Housing to $135 million instead of $80 million. Former GOP Senator Chuck Gross co-chairs the commission.
Governor Jay Nixon spent $15.5 million on his re-election campaign and still has hundreds of thousands of dollars left over.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is in Afghanistan visiting members of the Missouri National Guard who won't be home for the holidays.
Democratic Governor Jay Nixon and Republican challenger Dave Spence both oppose a ballot measure that would give the governor greater power in picking Missouri's top judges.
A November ballot measure would change the seven-person panel that nominates judicial candidates to the governor. It would increase the number of citizens named to the panel by the governor to four instead of three, with the rest selected by an attorneys' association. It also would increase the number of judicial nominees the panel submits to the governor to four instead of three.

Your latest Polar reviews
Polar Cruise - The Realm of the Polar Bear
By: John Dawson, Derbyshire, UK
Walruses. Zodiac excursions on calm fjords under the snouts of glaciers. Being given free access to the bridge of the ship. The day in Longyearbyen was most interesting. The scenery was awesome. The knowledgeable members of the team on the ship. All sorts of subjects were covered. having the use of a small gym on the ship to try and run some of the food off.
While my wife's daughter fell about laughing at the thought of her getting into a Zodiac we experienced no trouble at all as reasonably fit 71 and 69 year olds.
Antarctic Basecamp Adventure
By: Rob Eagle, Somerset, UK
The company are highly experienced in providing polar cruises and the staff they selected for the organisation on the trip and for the multi-activities were of a very high standard.
The snowshoeing short hikes were excellent. Weather was variable but EVERY effort was made to get as much done at many different locations as possible - even a "landing" directly onto sea ice (which the company had never done before).
Most enjoyed - Antarctica! Snowshoeing with my wife in superb scenery. Whales.
Polar Cruise - Antarctica Classic
By: William Cross, North Shields, Tyne & Wear
Julio and his team (trip leaders) were exemplary - keen, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and driven to pass on their knowledge and love of Antarctica and its animal life to us. Antarctica is absolutely stunning - probably the most remarkable place on the planet! It felt like a privilege to see it. If you get the chance - GO!

Should I pull over for ambulances on a divided highway with two lanes in each direction?
October 11, 2004
Ambulance Etiquette: Divided highway, two lanes in each direction, pull over into shoulder and stop?
Of course I know to pull over on a two-lane road and let an ambulance pass. I do this if the lights are flashing, regardless of hearing a siren. But what if the ambulance has no siren on (only has the lights going) and is travelling at the speed limit on a divided highway with two lanes in each direction? Is it ok just to get into the right-hand lane and let the ambulance pass on the left? Seems more dangerous to have some people pull to the shoulder and then have to merge back into the road after a full stop.

If it's just the lights and not the siren, I'd think that as long as you give the ambulance a clear lane to pass, that should be okay.
If the siren is going, especially if the roads are crowded, then pulling over to the shoulder is a good idea. (Although, of course,
Safety First
. Always. If you can't get over, for whatever reason, then don't force the issue.)
The laws in your state (NH?) might cover this explicitly, but as a rule of thumb, that's what I've always followed.

I've been an EMT for 6 years, and have driven both ambulances and lifeguard trucks Code 3 on crowded roads, and really, it's almost always better if you pull over. If you're in the right lane on a 4 lane divided highway, it may look like the ambulance has plenty of room to get by you in the left lane, but (as was often the case on A1A in Florida, where I worked) there could easily be some spaced-out geriatric doing 20 under in the left lane totally oblivious to the approaching lights and siren, and the ambulance might need that extra room in the right lane to get by, or some kind of road debris, or a huge puddle, or any number of other hazards. The more room we were given by other motorists, the safer and smoother our trips were, always.

Just to be clear, if the ambulance is flying down the highway, lights and siren going, no doubt I pull off to the shoulder asap. I'm more curious about a situation where there is no siren and the ambulance is not speeding. Does the ambulance driver have a different expectation? I agree completely that to pull over is generally better.

Ontario law
says you have to pull over and drive cautiously if the lights are on (siren doesn't matter), so you'll find all the drivers here do (In fact, most stop, even when it's not necessary). Same thing for police vehicles.
DUMB FACT: It's illegal to stop behind an ambulance that's taking on a stretcher if you're in a no stopping zone in Ontario. You are required, by law, to keep moving if it is in any way at all possible.
If there's no lights, the ambulance gets treated as a regular vehicle. If it were actually an emergency, the ambulance driver would remember damn fast to turn on the lights and siren. If it's not an emergency, who cares?
Of course, Ontario has some pretty
stupid laws
that look good on paper but don't work out in real life (and that stupid law was made just a short while ago).

Err, what's wrong with the yield to the bus law, exactly? I've seen buses have to sit and wait for minutes because nobody is willing to be the person that lets the bus in front of them. With the yield law, you're not obligated to do so.

Honestly, ambulances rarely if ever break the speed limit - it just seems so because everyone else is slowing down and they are making a lot of noise. If they have their lights on, you can assume they're trying to get somewhere in a hurry.
Pull over to the shoulder if it's safe to do so - it's pretty well the law, and it's the right thing to do, too. If you don't do the expected thing, it's darn hard for the ambulance driver to predict *what* you're going to do, and that's not something she needs to be worrying about right then.

Interstate-type highway (i.e., limited-access, only way off and on is by ramps): move to right lane and continue travelling.
"Highway" which is just a road with a higher speed limit, but still has intersections: pull on to shoulder and stop.
This is what I do, which is not necessarily the correct answer.

>Err, what's wrong with the yield to the bus law, exactly?
Well, here we go:
In light traffic, the bus can easily escape the bus bay. So, in that case, no need for a law.
In heavy traffic, holding up traffic for the bus causes the lights behind you to end up with cars piling inside the intersection that were expecting to continue through. Now you've (temporarialy) blocked traffic in another direction, and perhaps, worse yet, there's a bus in that direction that needs to go, meaning the lights behind there have the same condition. This all leads to chaos.
If it's taking a long time for the bus to merge, that's because there's no room in traffic for it to do so safely. Making a law forcing drivers to slam their brakes in heavy traffic does no good deed for road safety, and furthermore, causes already terrible traffic to become rotten, further worsening the bus' time schedule.
I expect this law will be repealed after a short test time, just like the law requiring drivers to switch lanes to ensure they were at least 1 lane away from a stopped police car at all times possible. Considering Ontario is home to North America's busiest highway (The 401 has over
cars travelling on it per day), that law was stifling traffic. Bad traffic leads to more accidents, and blammo... the policeman has worse things to worry about than handing out another pointless 40 km/h over ticket (the 401 is famous for it's unreasonable speed limit -- in fact, it is so low, a ticket was once handed out by an officer to someone doing the speed limit for, in fact,
doing the speed limit
. You just can't win).
Well, that's just my take on it. Of course, Ontario is all about ensuring traffic is worse to increase the appearance of safety (for example: Littering Ontario with red light cameras, rather than adjusting the timing of lights to provide more "all red" intersection time, and letting a policeman make the right decision).
Really, people here know how to drive without having to make new laws to change their habits. If something is happening (busses unable to get out of their bays) it's not because of other drivers, it's because of poor design.

For ambulances, my approach is to make sure that I give clear indication to the driver that I'm going to get out of the way. Usually on a divided highway that would mean slowing down, using the brake lights and turn signal to indicate my intentions to the the ambulance driver and everyone else. Then moving at least all the way over to the edge of the pavement and slowly on to the shoulder if that's going to help at all. I try not to make any sudden moves unless there's some reason to, so there's not often time to come to a full stop before the ambulance is past. So anyway, I think the important thing about the etiquette in this situation (and in driving in general) is to be aware of how you're perceived by the other people on the road.
people here know how to drive without having to make new laws to change their habits.
I find that people from Toronto have habits well-adapted to driving in Toronto, but many of them drive like total idiots when they find themselves in the unfamiliar situation of a two-lane highway with not much traffic. Speeding up to tailgate anyone who passes them is the offence (against decency) that I see most often. Usually I'm the one passing, but last night I was going slow, following at a good distance (10 secs) behind another car. This was late in the evening, far enough north of the city that there wasn't much traffic. Three times, I slowed down a bit in an appropriate place to let faster traffic past (in the same fashion, though with much less urgency, as I would for an ambulance.) Three times, the car that passed me stuck right on the bumper of the car ahead, eventually made it past, then was in turn tailgated for a few minutes until the car I'd been following eventually lost interest in chasing them.
But yeah, it seems like the things that make the most difference are those that are least susceptible to legislative solutions.

Good article.
...creating new content to hide negative material is fair play.
That's reassuring, as, in my experience, that's too often been the necessary strategy.
Also cited in the article is Ripoff Report and its founder, Ed Magedson, who parades his site under the banner of free speech. Under current law, as I understand it (and I'm not a lawyer), Ripoff Report is not legally responsible for false information.
Critics of the Ripoff Report say Magedson actually fuels suppression efforts because he refuses to take down false complaints on his site.
This can be a nightmare for those unfairly attacked. As the article suggests, small businesses and those without web marketing expertise are particularly vulnerable.
In addition to Google results, Google search suggestions are also a problem for businesses and individuals affected.
Reviews on Google Place Pages are also entering into the mix. Here are several current threads in WebmasterWorld about malicious reviews on Google Maps, where it's perhaps less easy to bury a negative page, because a Place Page is a Place Page.

ScienceShot: Men Talk Like 'Valley Girls,' Too
4 December 2013 1:15 pm
You can talk like a "Valley girl," too? That could be a statement, but if you paid attention to the question mark in the sentence, then the pitch of your voice rose as you read it. The style of talking has been called "Valley girl speak"—linguists know it as "speaking with a high rising terminal," or "uptalk." But it's not just for females, according to a new study being presented Thursday at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America. Researchers examined the speech patterns of two dozen college-aged males and females who had grown up in southern California, as each individual gave directions or described scenes from a sitcom. Both males and females used uptalk, they found, although females used the speech pattern more often. When recordings of the students' voices were analyzed, the scientists also discovered that they could distinguish instances of uptalk from true questions—the rise in pitch began earlier in the sentence when a question was being asked. The findings add weight to the concept that uptalk isn't associated with personality or confidence—or the "Valley girl" stereotype alone—but is a true regional dialect.
For a story on another unusual speech pattern, check out our 2011 piece on "vocal fry," our most popular story of all time.

Peter Dreier: The Radical Dissent of Helen Keller
The bronze statue of Helen Keller that sits in the U.S. Capitol shows the blind girl standing at a water pump. It depicts the moment in 1887 when her teacher, Anne Sullivan, spelled "W-A-T-E-R" into one of her 7-year-old pupil's hands while water streamed into the other. This was Keller's awakening, when she made the connection between the word Sullivan spelled and the tangible substance splashing from the pump, whispering "wah-wah,"—her way of saying "water." This scene, made famous in the play and film "The Miracle Worker," has long defined Keller in the public mind as a symbol of courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
Less well known (but no less inspiring) is the fact that Keller, who was born in 1880 and died in 1968, was a lifelong radical who participated in the great movements for social justice of her time. In her investigations into the causes of blindness, she discovered that poor people were more likely than the rich to be blind, and soon connected the mistreatment of the blind to the oppression of workers, women, and other groups, leading her to embrace socialism, feminism, and pacifism....
Women's Suffrage, Civil Rights, and War
Keller was part of wide circle of reformers and radicals who participated in a variety of overlapping causes. She was a strong advocate for women's rights and women's suffrage, writing in 1916: "Women have discovered that they cannot rely on men's chivalry to give them justice." She supported birth control and praised its leading advocate, Margaret Sanger, with whom she had many mutual friends. Keller argued that capitalists wanted workers to have large families to supply cheap labor to factories but forced poor children to live in miserable conditions. "Only by taking the responsibility of birth control into their own hands," Keller said, "can [women] roll back the awful tide of misery that is sweeping over them and their children."...

Ms Gregory, TROWBRIDGE"This is a delicious meal but from personal preference would prefer croquette potatoes rather than boiled ones which tend to be a bit hard at times."

Kid Chocolate
Article Free PassKid Chocolate, original name Sergio Eligio Sardiñias-Montalbo, byname Cuban Bon Bon (born Jan. 6, 1910, Cerro, Cuba—died Aug. 8, 1988, Havana), Cuban professional boxer, world junior lightweight (130 pounds) champion from 1931 to 1933.
Kid Chocolate officially turned professional in 1927 after winning all 100 of his recorded amateur bouts in Cuba, 86 by knockout; however, some boxing historians question these numbers and consider 22 wins without a loss a more likely amateur record. After establishing a name for himself in New York City, Chocolate lost a 15-round decision (a fight whose outcome is determined by the judges' scoring) in a world featherweight (126 pounds) title bout against American Battling Battalino (Christopher Battaglia) on Dec. 12, 1930. Chocolate became the world junior lightweight (also known as super featherweight) champion by knocking out Russian-born American Benny Bass in the seventh round on July 15, 1931, and he held that title until Dec. 26, 1933, when he was knocked out in the seventh round by American Frankie Klick. Meanwhile, Chocolate lost a title shot against the world lightweight (135 pounds) champion, American Tony Canzoneri, on Nov. 24, 1933, when he was knocked out in the second round. Although Chocolate was recognized in New York as the "world" featherweight champion following his 12th-round knockout of American Lew Feldman on Oct. 13, 1932, it was a disputed title. Chocolate fought his last five bouts in Havana before retiring in 1938—having contested about 150 professional fights, with only 10 losses. He then opened a gym in Havana and chose to remain in Cuba after Fidel Castro took control of the government in 1959. In 1991 the Kid Chocolate Boxing Hall was opened in Havana for the Pan American Sports Games. Kid Chocolate was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1994.

Cocktails on the Fly
I feel remiss, as I don't know that I've done anything yet to promote one of the Web's most engaging cocktail resources and one of the most creative and talented bartenders I've ever met.
If you haven't yet seen it, I urge you to visit Cocktails on the Fly, the ongoing set of cocktail tutorials featuring the incandescent Alberta Straub. Alberta is a local cocktail celebrity and certainly one of the most visible and influential bartenders in SF over the last five or so years. Before she left her pulpit at the Orbit Room (many people still don't realize that she's gone—I get asked all the time if she's still there), she influenced many with her witty, seasonal, utterly original and always delicious concoctions. In fact, it was my regular visits to Alberta through the early years of this decade that showed me what a cocktail could be.
With Cocktails on the Fly, Alberta's created dozens of great internet tutorials, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to become a better mixer or is seeking enhanced cocktail knowledge.

Do you always wish you could get more reading done? Here's a simple guide to help you make a dent in that big pile of books you've been meaning to read.
I want to teach you a system for rapidly reading business books. It's something that has helped me a lot over the course of my career. I learned the basics from my great mentor and friend, Dr. Tom Hill, and have made my own modifications. By following this system, I am able to read 100 business books per year and keep current on many of the best thinkers' ideas and approaches.
Like most people, time is a constant challenge for me. I have young children, an active social life, and a regular workout schedule, in addition to the time I need to spend on the road building a business that is growing every year. Toss in broader family obligations and a commitment to my church, and it is very difficult for me to find time to read. You probably feel the same way. Here is the key secret: Almost every business book can be read completely--and with strong comprehension--in less than one hour as long as you have a system.
A couple of guidelines:
Here's the system:
I use a simple one page sheet for capturing a book's general premise and key points. You can customize it and make it more valuable to you. My book review template can be downloaded here. So, without further delay, here is how you actually read a business book in an hour or less:
1. Read the front and back of the book jacket as well as the introduction.
2. Skip the acknowledgements and foreword.
3. Read the table of contents looking for "hooks" that you want to make certain to catch. These are the key points that build on the ideas that intrigued you when you read the book jacket.
4. Read the first and last paragraphs of every chapter.
5. Skim the chapters for call-out boxes, story/case-study boxes, and diagrams. Read those.
6. Read the sections of the book inside of the chapters whose headers are relevant to the hooks you identified earlier when you were looking at the table of contents.
7. Read the chapter summaries, if there are any.
8. Write your notes as listed on the form.
This is the speed course for getting a business book done in an hour and actually taking something of value away from it. There are some books that I re-read every year. There are many books I put on the shelf, and when I need something from that book, I just pull out the form I filled out and take what I need from it.
As I am starting to read more digital books, I have also started using Evernote for capturing notes which I tag as "Book Reviews."
Periodicals, blogs, white papers, and other formats are great materials for keeping you current on trends and data-points in the market. However, a book provides a deeper dive into an overall set of ideas and their implications. Don't cut out books from your mental diet because they take too long. Instead, get a faster system.

I am using FlashDevelop. I need to "import" images in my project. How do I do that? I mean, I know how to use the "Loader" class, and as long as the whole project (compiled swf + images) is in one folder on my HDD everything works fine. But when it comes to uploading the game (on AG, for example), I am only asked for the swf directory, and there's no way to attach the "external resources" I need. (as far as I have seen, at least) So, should I just embed everything in the swf? But then it would become way heavy, and I see most of the games actually DO have a loading screen, wich would not be there if the resouces were already completely loaded with the swf (I think) Or should I upload the files I need on my own website and refer to them through an url? So, can anyone tell me how do I include images (and sounds etc) in my project and use them and how to upload the whole thing on AG?

I embed images in Actionscript like this:
[Embed(source="assets/pic.png")] private var picClass:Class;
Then you can make a new bitmap object using that picture with:
public var picBMP:Bitmap = new picClass();

On Thursday, the US and Vietnam start cleaning up dioxin from Agent Orange. This reconciliation, 37 years after the war, may set a precedent in the ethics of dealing with the aftereffects of war.
AP Photo/file
For the first time since the end of the Vietnam War, the United States will start to clean up the herbicide Agent Orange used to defoliate forests during that guerrilla conflict.
The cleanup, which begins Thursday at the former US military base of Da Nang, is a step forward in the ethics of modern warfare. It sets a precedent for how former foes can reconcile by taking responsibility for a war's aftereffects on health and the environment.
It also points to the need for the US to make sure it doesn't leave any ecodisasters in Iraq and Afghanistan – such as open burn pits – when leaving the military bases in those war zones.
In Vietnam, the US plans to spend $49 million to clean up several "hot spots" where the chemical dioxin in Agent Orange remains a health hazard by seeping into soils and watersheds. Between 1962 and 1971, the American military dumped about 20 million gallons of herbicides on jungles and mangroves to expose communist fighters. The area exposed is estimated to be the size of Massachusetts. In the initial cleanup, millions of tons of soil will be removed to get rid of the toxin. Private donors are being sought to help pay for what may eventually be a $450 million price tag for helping Vietnam end the problem.
The US effort is the result of steady reconciliation with Vietnam since 1996 when the two countries began formal ties. They are now fast removing many irritants, such as their long dispute over the harmful legacy of Agent Orange.

More than 5,000 people are cut off by landslides as more heavy rain and floods are forecast in southwestern Japan, where the death toll from torrential downpours has risen to 24.
Landslides and fallen trees have cut roads and water supplies in the region since late Saturday, where unprecedented rainfall has fallen since Wednesday.
Television footage showed troops loading relief material such as food, water and medical supplies into military helicopters to send them to mountainous areas in Yame, Fukuoka prefecture in northern Kyushu island, on Sunday.
Local authorities were separately dispatching rescue helicopters to take patients and elderly villagers to hospital from the isolated area, where at least one person was killed, officials said.
"We will continue sending emergency ration to people there as it is still unknown when we can secure access to the area," said Kayo Shinohara, a spokeswoman for Yame City government.
"We are trying to do our best to remove rubble as soon as possible," the spokesperson told the AFP news agency by phone.
Rescue operations resumed early on Sunday in other affected areas in Kyushu, where at least eight people were still missing after a total of 29 people were confirmed dead in the landslides or floods, officials said.
Public broadcaster NHK showed rescuers continuing their search, using heavy machinery to remove uprooted trees, boulders and debris, while residents were scooping mud out of houses with shovels.
Some 3,600 people remained ordered or advised to leave their homes in southwest Japan, NHK said, after local authorities lifted similar advice to some 400,000 others by Sunday morning.
More rain forecast
The weather eased somewhat on Sunday bringing temporary relief, but the Japan Meteorological Agency warned of more heavy rain, landslides and floods on the main southern island of Kyushu.
"A peak of heavy rain in northern Kyushu has passed, but there is fear that driving rain with thunder may hit northern Kyushu as warm and humid air is flowing to the rain front," the agency said.
"Please be vigilant of damage from landslides and floods as part of the ground has already softened and water is still overflowing from rivers because of record rainfalls," it said.
Rainfall of up to 81.7cm has been recorded in Aso, situated at the foot of a volcano, where at least 18 were killed and four others were still missing.
Television footage showed torrents of muddy, debris-strewn water and flooded houses following what officials described as "unprecedented" downpours from a seasonal rain front.
Heavy rainfall was also monitored in Kyoto, some 500km east of the affected areas in Kyushu, on Sunday, flooding more than 20 houses, news reports said.
About 20 people were temporarily trapped in the city as muddy stream broke a river bank following rainfall of nine centimetres per hour, but they were later rescued safely, the reports added.

Comments about OKI MB480 Multi-Function (120V) Printer: I like having the larger input paper tray. I am printing 400 copies of newsletters that are 14 pages long. I printed out the first one last week and it took about 3 1/2 hours to print. The speed was better printing each page separately and then turning the paper over to print the other side. However, doing that caused several paper jams. I am trying to figure out how to print the double-sided so it will print faster and being able to use the duplex feature that was what convinced me to buy this printer.

Profile: Shrien Dewani
A honeymoon trip to South Africa which led to the death of Anni Dewani eventually saw her husband accused of plotting her murder.
Shrien Dewani, a businessman from Bristol, was married to Mrs Dewani only weeks before she was shot and killed in a taxi.
The taxi driver, Zola Tongo, said in court he was offered 15,000 rand (£1,400) by Mr Dewani to kill Anni. He was jailed for 18 years.
Now authorities in the country want to question Mr Dewani about the allegation.
After he met his future wife, the businessman returned to Bristol to run the family's healthcare firm.
Mr Dewani, a Hindu, was described by a family friend as a "very intelligent boy" who was "generous and down to earth".
He was educated privately at the exclusive Bristol Grammar School, which is located near the University of Bristol.
The school boasts 500 years of history and comes with a price tag of more than £11,000 per year.
'Totally false'Mr Dewani later attended the University of Manchester where he read economics and qualified as an accountant.
After university he took up a job with Deloittes in London when he met his future wife through mutual friends.
The pair dated for 18 months, in which time Mr Dewani returned to Bristol to run the family firm, PSP Healthcare.
He and Anni got engaged, and then married in an "extravagant" ceremony in India before 200 guests.
And the wedding led to their honeymoon in South Africa just a few weeks later.
During the trip the pair were kidnapped at gunpoint in Gugulethu, a township near Cape Town. Mr Dewani was released unharmed but his wife was shot and killed.
Mr Dewani's brother, Preyen, said accusations that Shrien Dewani was involved in the murder were "totally false".
He blamed "people seeking to divert this matter away from security in South Africa".
The toll of the months since his wife death, though, was beginning to show and, following his arrest in the UK on suspicion of his wife's murder, Mr Dewani began to suffer from acute stress disorder.
He was told to leave the Priory after threatening to punch a member of staff and was transferred to the Cygnet Hospital in Kewstoke.
Later he was detained at Fromeside Clinic in Bristol under the Mental Health Act and remained there while extradition proceedings continued.

Well, I think that SEOmoz should first concentrate on giving more comprehensive link reports. I find that the seomajestic reports are far superior, as was yahoo site explorer.
there was another link analysis tool (I think based in the Ukraine or Belarus) that had something of a pretty good metric for approximating the "value" of a link. I don't think it dealt with web spam per se, but I do think it was a pretty good first step in determining whether a link might be worth chasing.
But really, one's own judgement would be the best "anti spam" tool, wouldn't it? I mean, it's sort of like jazz; if you gotta' ask someone what spam is, then you will never get it, right?
A good business idea though, as a lot of people will be willing to do it in a desperate try to get the lost traffic back (Panda, Penguin, or whatever else).
good point.

I work for the company that built the underlying Auto Haptic feature. The feature is designed to make sure users have control over the Auto Haptic feature so they can only turn it on for apps they want, but it looks like the capability has been eliminated in some carrier's (not all of them) updates to Jelly Bean.
We've gone ahead and put a simple widget to solve this problem. It doesn't have the richness of settings, but does allow you to turn Auto Haptics on and off (once you download the widget, you need to reboot for it to start to work).
Please go to Google Play and search for "Auto Haptic Widget", or go to this link:
I hope it solves your problem in the interim. We've notified Samsung and we expect they will be working with the carriers to provide a handset update that restores the correct user settings soon, but in the meantime this should ensure the feature doesn't cause you any more trouble.
You can reach us at Immersion through the GooglePlay support.

I worked at Broadview Networks
Pros – The training and the benefits are great.
Management is hands on and halpful.
Cons – The company wide quota system expects reps in small markets to hit the same numbers as NYC or Philadelphia. Very unlikely.
Advice to Senior Management – Weight the commissions more evenly with the markets the reps are selling in. I worked NYC, and I worked in Syracuse. Glaring diiference in the size, number of prospects, type of business. I think this issue is known behind the scenes, but would have to be presented carefully.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Premiers Support Renewal of Labour Market Agreements
Provincial and territorial Labour Market Ministers met recently on behalf of Canada's Premiers to discuss skills training and the renewal of Labour Market Agreements that are set to expire across Canada in April 2014.

The Ministers have also announced release of a report entitled, Building Skills Together, detailing the critical importance of skills and training, the success of current programming under Labour Market Agreements and their concerns about the federal proposal to replace these agreements with the Canada Job Grant.

Roy Oswalt replaces Moreland on the 25-man roster, and the club still must make a 40-man roster move prior to Friday's game.
Moreland sustained the injury trying to beat out a double play ball in Tuesday's 7-3 win in San Diego. With Moreland out, the Rangers will handle first base by committee with Mike Napoli, Michael Young and Brandon Snyder all capable of playing the position.
"It happens," Moreland said. "It's obviously not what I wanted to happen, but I've got to treat it, get better and get back on the field."
Moreland joins some banged-up teammates on the DL, including Derek Holland, Alexi Ogando, Neftali Feliz and Koji Uehara.
Moreland, 26, is hitting .272 with 10 homers and 25 RBIs. He batted just .231 in April, but hit the ball much better in May to bring his average up.

HIV-related stigma and discrimination are as old as the epidemic itself. In every country and in every social setting since the disease was first identified, individuals who are or are assumed to be HIV-positive have been subjected to a variety of negative reactions, including physical and verbal abuse; loss of homes and employment; rejection by family members, spouses and friends; and violations of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms. Many people are affected by compounded stigma, where HIV-related stigma combines with stigma toward excluded or marginalized groups such as homosexual men, sex workers and injecting drug users.
PAHO supports countries in reducing stigma and discrimination related to HIV through advocacy, strategic planning, technical assistance, resource mobilization and other means. In addition, PAHO promotes the development of a stigma-free environment in health services and motivates the health sector to play a leading role in the fight against stigma and discrimination.

Re: Princess: The Hopeful
To Save the World
The man is gone, and the corpse wont last much longer. Fire consumes it eagerly, leaving only ash behind. The lighter is there too, tarnished silver thats been dropped in the ashes. If she fishes it out shell find several intricate designs traced across it, mostly ornamental. Carved into the bottom is something else:
When Kim returns to her parents they will be frantic with worry, but welcome her home. The crowd loses sight of her too, and it becomes merely talk and rumor amongst the neighborhood. For now, things are quiet.
((And thats your prelude! Youll have to wait for everyone else to finish theirs, but it shouldnt take too long.))
I Need a Hero
They do flee. They hesitate for a second, but theyre simple thugs, not very smart. The light show isnt what they were prepared for, and neither are willing to get killed for an extra wallet. So the one that had attacked Erin begins to sprint in the opposite direction, while the one shed hurt earlier scrambles to his feet, stumbling off into the dark.
The boy leaning against the car is staring after them, his mother still unmoving. Shes unconscious, breathing at least, but not in good shape. With more time to focus Erin can notice that shes seen him before, somewhere at school. He lunges off the car, reaches out his hands to grasp at the girl. What are you doing? His voice is thick with anger and pain, Theyre getting away! Do something! Shoot them!
In Sleep He Sang to Me
Moriarty takes one step, and then hes gone, into the swirling chaos. The monster looms overhead, several more bullets tearing small holes in it even as Shirley moves below it. When she strikes it the thing wobbles, letting out a cry as it begins to go crashing to the floor. People move out of the way in a great hurry, and Shirley probably will want to do that too.
Tiles crack when the weight of it hit the floor, and it seems momentarily stunned. Long enough that she could deliver some sort of blow to it, hopefully a final one.
Do it now, Watson!

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - The number of gonorrhea cases in Maine has more than quadrupled in the past four years, concerning public health officials.
The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention says there were 441 reported cases of the sexually transmitted disease as of Dec. 14 this year, up from 98 reported cases in 2008.
More than half of those cases are in people in their 20s.
Dr. Stephen Sears, state epidemiologist, tells The Portland Press Herald the trend is "concerning," but mirrors national figures. He says the exact reason for the rise is a mystery.
He says the state needs to launch a public education campaign.
Sears says the Maine CDC will review this year's cases in the coming weeks to look for patterns among various racial, gender and age groups.

Malaysian military says missing jet changed course
How can a jet disappear? In the ocean, it's not hard
Tisk, tisk. Damn disgruntled individual. Hopefully they can track who did it. *(@life is good) btw its wouldn't make sense. Read it aloud. :)
I laugh at all the lip service coming from all the liberal mouths on this page. If you really cared you wouldn't be complaining. You would change the laws and you would offer help to the ones afflicted. Way to go social media for allowing ignorant people comment rather then help.
I just did 43 months on this, and it's saddens me that it took 5 DUI's they should make it the first one. It saved my life going to prison. Still they do not offer any help for alcohol while in there. The Chemical Dependency program they have is not given to DUI Offenders, they are placed on low priority. Not enough is being done to help in minimizing the DUI epidemic. Stiffer laws need to be enacted but also they need to help those who feel hopeless. Unless they want them to fail. You cannot put someone is so much debt and take away there ability to find employment, housing, food and expect them to get well. It's just not probable. Think about it, find solutions, don't compound the problems.
All the comments on this page have been directed towards me. I did in fact read each and every one of them. First and for most I apologize to any persons whose lives have been affected by the carelessness of drunk driving. It took me a long time to realize I had a problem with alcohol. I strongly believe that getting the 43 month sentence that I received was no doubt a life saver. I am so very fortunate that I never harmed anyone physically in all of my insanity. I was not a violent drunk, nor was I an angry person. I was very negligent in the fact that I got behind a motor vehicle when I was under the influence. The repercussions of what could have happened never concerned me because when I was drinking I seemed to always be the exception. I thank God everyday that I never had to go through the guilt of killing someone due to my carelessness. I completely understand the anger and hate behind DUI offenders. That sad part about my case is that little do people know there is not a lot of help for alcohol offenders once incarcerated. Drug offenders are given D.O.S.A & Sex Offenders are given S.O.S.A which are both alternative sentencing guidelines to make there sentences more minimal. Alcohol or DUI offenders are placed on back burners and not required any sort of help once imprisoned. Currently I am $51,000.00 dollars in debt due to all my DUI'S and a felon. Life has given me a lot to appreciate but also a lot of recourse to the things I took for granite prior to my arrest in 2010.It is my mission to give a better understanding to those who were in my shoes. Stuck, Lost, Hopeless, In fear of everyday obstacles and to allow them to see that life is better without the use of alcohol. There are so many things to channel your energy into. You can live a life that gives back rather than takes away. Being a productive member of society and not being overwhelmed with how far down the tunnel you have gone does not mean you can't stop and change the way you've been living. I can go on forever about the endless possibilities but I will leave it at this, DUI laws need to be stiffer, but also the justice system needs to help offer treatment services to those who are troubled rather that throwing them into facilities where they are to sit idle with no optimism of ever making it upon release back to society. This Kitsap article has led to much pain in my life, and the fact that it still exists is a true testimony to the damage press can have on someone's life.-Michael Patrick Hoyle- The used to be 25 yr old who got the DUI
"Our office had no choice but to decline criminal charges based on the lack of jurisdiction."
That is pretty sad when they can't find the evidence of something right under their own nose. Yet they can prosecute people with little or no evidence in other cases. Just because they are a peace officer does not mean they should be treated any different. Being fired from their current job was the proper action taken.
Michael Patrick Hoyle
I have been through the Bremerton Municipal Courts and have had Judge Doctor sentence me and help me move forward with my life. He had always delegated fairly when it comes to me personally. I think Judge Doctor should stay in his current position. And I agree with his statement that. "I don't think the public wants the judge outside the courtroom." Some of us agree with that. He is magistrate charged with the administration of justice. Let him do his job the way he sees fit. And until then I say let it be.

Written on: 13/11/2004 by Harriet Klausner (18660 reviews written)
London Bridges
James Patterson
Little, Brown, Nov 2004, $27.95, 391 pp.
In Salvador, Brazil, the Wolf abducts Colonel Geoffrey the "Weasel" Shafer; while hanging upside down, Weasel learns that the Wolf has a job for him. US Army soldiers evacuate the 315 residents of Sunrise Valley, Nevada. As the Wolf watched his plan in Sunrise Valley succeed via remote in Bel Air, a plane drops a daisy cutter bomb on the town, leaving parched earth behind.
DC based FBI Agent Alex Cross on vacation visits his young son in Seattle before going to San Francisco to see his girlfriend Jamilla Hughes. FBI Agents Jean Matthews and John Thompson interrupt Alex's romantic interlude to inform him that FBI Director Burns needs him to attend to an emergency in Nevada. Weasel's photo near the Nevada destruction and a homicide shocks Alex. He senses THE BIG BAD WOLF is back. Soon threats to do to London, New York and other megalopolises what happened to Sunrise Valley arrive. Alex knows he must cross swords with Weasel and believes ultimately the Wolf.
The sequel to the BIG BAD WOLF is a terrific suspense thriller that showcases why James Patterson is one of the best the genre offers. The storyline grips the audience from the moment the Wolf captures the amoral Weasel and never lets up until the climatic confrontation between Alex and the Wolf. Though the action is non-stop so that the audience never fully catches our breath, the tale is much stronger than the usual terrorist-antiterrorist contest because key players such as Alex (obviously), the two prime villains, and a host of secondary cast members seem so real that the deadly caper feels authentic. James Patterson is on his top game with the tenth Cross thriller.

why? So they can hold your money for 4 months as a "pre-order" and then deny anyone who refuses to participate in the absurd preorder process a copy of the game when it actually does ship?
No thanks!
I'll wait for a Blizzard ship date thanks. Then I'll walk into a BestBuy on release date and pick up a collector's edition. Just like I do for every game, because BestBuy wants to sell me things, and GameStop wants to abuse my money.

Re: Long-term, real world reviews for Galaxy Victory phone?
I've had one for 7 months now. I just rooted it because performance was taking a hit. I'm not a gamer and don't load lots of apps but it was slowing down. I rooted it and have the stock ROM.(won't know how to replace that!) I installed Link2SD and just got tethering working as well and finally added a program called BOOSTERS PLUS BATTERYSAVER PRO from Google play.($) All those apps require root priv, of course. It now seems to run like the day I got it so I am happy. I, too, am a VM customer and do have 4G in my area so I'm lucky in that respect. It's a good mid phone for the price and you can NOT activate a phone not bought through VM..have to buy it from them and it's on sale for 149 right now. You're right about the camera and speakers but music does sound good through the headphones and the Bluetooth headphones I use work well. Battery life is decent, mine last about 12-14 hours and most of that time I'm on WiFi.(80%) I use about 300-500 meg of data on average per month and talk maybe 50-75 minutes. I have good service in my area, check your coverage map there to be sure what you have and don't have. I'm an It guy who uses VPN and RDP occasionally with the phone. Do the normal apps like twitter and FB often too.

Re: Long-term, real world reviews for Galaxy Victory phone?
Are we 100% certain regarding activating a VM phone not acquired at VM retailer? I find conflicting information. Most sources online state that as long as the phone is compatible with their service and has been released by the owner (in the case of a used phone), it can be reactivated on a different VM account. In the case of a new phone from a non-VM retail seller, the same seems to be effectively true - the phone is "released" and available to be activated. I'm just trying to drill down on this and separate myth from fact.
Thank you for your thoughts! - 01-22-2014, 02:11 PM #4

Re: Long-term, real world reviews for Galaxy Victory phone?
I have owned my Galaxy Victory for over 4 months now, and it has just been awesome. Virgin Mobile has a contract with Sprint for the use of their 4G LTE network. Because of this, there are no data charges. However, 3G WILL charge you for any data usage. It's great if you don't have internet connection at home and want or need a good connection. You can use apps like EasyTether or PdaNet to tether your phone's data to your computer. The paid version for PdaNet is FoxFi Key for a one-time fee of $7.95 and is very simple to use. Otherwise, this phone has great storage space (1.72GB usable out of 2GB) for all of your apps. But don't use it constantly because you can wear down your battery, even with it plugged in to your computer. I wish the wifi hotspot was able to be used but VM or Samsung blocked it somehow. If you're not aware already, Samsung likes to edit their ROMs. As a result, apps cannot be moved to the SD card like most other Androids to save space. That is the only drawback but you should not need to do this because of the available space. If you buy a brand new phone as opposed to a refurbished or used one, the battery life is excellent. But you MUST let it die before charging it for the first 2-3 times or the battery will degrade quite a bit. Another tip would be to only charge from a very low level (<15%) to get the most out of your battery after that. It may take several hours for the battery to charge the first few times, but that's expected so charge it overnight. As far as signal reception, you definitely want to check the coverage map for 4G LTE. We live in a city that has it all over, but we're pretty much on the edge of the 4G LTE coverage. Away from cities, as with all other VM phones, coverage is limited to some interstates pretty much. Again, you'll have to check the coverage map for that if you travel. Performance is excellent as long as its internal storage isn't loaded with less than 200-300MB left. The more apps you have, the longer the start-up and shut down time. But a 1.2GHz dual-core processor helps to make for a great phone all around.
Re: Long-term, real world reviews for Galaxy Victory phone?
You can use tether app for hotspot and link2sd for expanding the space for apps, assuming you have a sd card.
There is also a root app make the phone run at 1.5mhz. My runs runs as good as the day I bought it now, that was 8 months ago. - 02-22-2014, 05:56 PM #11

A Hammond attorney has confessed to committing a string of bank robberies in Mississippi and Alabama and faces federal and state charges, according to the Louisiana State Police.
State police detectives on Wednesday developed information that led to the identification of Scott Eason Meece, 31, a private-practice lawyer living in Hammond. Eason owned two vehicles similar to those used by a man leaving the scene of the out-of-state robberies, authorities said.
Coordinating with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the New Orleans office of the FBI, Louisiana State Police detectives on Thursday located Meece driving a maroon-colored Nissan near his home in Hammond. Troopers from Troop L assisted in stopping Meece on Intestate 12 in Tangipahoa Parish and Meese agreed to be interviewed at a State Police office in Hammond, where "he eventually confessed to the bank robberies," a press release said. The investigation is ongoing.
