CONCORD -- State police have arrested a Pittsfield woman and a Barnstead man Saturday, charged with taking a handgun that a Concord District Court security officer misplaced while she was using a bathroom.
According to New Hampshire State Police, officers from Troop D responded to Concord District Court at 1:30 p.m. Friday to investigate a report that a court security officer had a sidearm that was unaccounted for.
Court Security Officer Julie Bickford reported that her sidearm was missing from her holster, and that she believed that she might have misplaced the gun while using a bathroom. The courthouse was searched by troopers, a K-9 team, and court security personnel, but the weapon was not located.
State police reviewed Concord District Court security tapes and identified a female, Courtney Rojek, 24, of Pittsfield, seen exiting the women's bathroom with a handgun in her hand within minutes of Bickford exiting the women's bathroom.
Police said Rojek was seen placing the semi-automatic handgun on a table in the vestibule just outside the bathroom, and motioning a male subject over to her, identified by police as Jacob Noury, 33, of Barnstead.
On video, state police say Noury was seen handling the handgun and then placing it in Rojek's waistband. Rojek and Noury are then seen exiting the court and leaving in a vehicle.
Arrest warrants were initiated for Rojek and Noury for Class A felony charges of theft of lost or mislaid property and Class b felony charges for possession of a firearm in a district or superior court facility.
State police, along with Chichester police, located both Rojek and Noury at a tattoo parlor owned by Noury on Route 4 in Chichester Saturday evening. Both were taken into custody without incident.
A search warrant was requested and granted for Noury's residence in Barnstead. A search was conducted and the missing sidearm, a Glock 40mm semi-automatic pistol, was located inside the residence, according to police.
Noury and Rojek were held on $10,000 cash bail at the Merrimack County Jail. They are due to be arraigned Monday, in Concord District Court.

Brazilian trade mission to visit Dubai, Jeddah
Dubai, January 30, 2013
A delegation that includes 30 Brazilian companies will take part in the 5th Brazilian Trade Mission to the UAE, which will run from February 20 to 21 at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel – Dubai.
Trade activities between the two countries continue to expand, with Brazilian exports to the UAE increasing by 13.3 per cent from over $2.16 billion in 2011 to more than $2.45 billion in 2012, according to figures from the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil).
A hosted buyer's programme for interested importers and trading companies from the Middle East is one of the highlights of the Trade Mission, which is organized by Apex-Brasil and the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade under the patronage of the Brazilian Ambassador to the UAE.
A business meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will also be organized on February 18 as part of the Trade Mission.
The event on February 20 is strictly for UAE companies, while the event on the 21st is for regional hosted buyers from Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and Iraq.
Apex-Brasil is also organising seminars on "Venture Capital & Private Equity" at the Jumeirah Tower Hotels in Dubai and at the Intercontinental Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The seminars are supported by the Brazilian Ministries of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade and of External Relations, National Confederation of Industry and Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce.
Mauricio Borges, president of Apex-Brasil, said: "The enthusiastic response that we have received from the UAE and Brazilian companies for the Trade Mission manifests the lucrative prospects that have now emerged in light of the growing trade activities between the two countries." – TradeArabia News Service

Ever wonder how much prices have increased over the last 70-something years? Looking through our archives, Locksmith Ledger contributor Tom Gillespie came upon a pricing guide from a San Francisco, Calif., locksmith shop in 1938.
The heading is "Schedule of Minimum Prices to be Charged for Locksmith Work in San Francisco and on the Peninsula." Here are some excerpts.
- The most expensive service listed was Repairing Rixson Hinges, $10.
- A customer paid 20 cents for a duplicate key, with discounts for ordering quantities of 12 or more at the same time.
- A trunk key made by number cost 50 cents.
- Fitting keys for a Letter box or cabinet lock keys was 50-75 cents.
- Fitting keys for a Best lock was $1, while fitting keys for a Schlage pin tumbler cylinder was $1.50.
- Master keying of cylinders ocst 50 cents, or $1 for grand master keying.
- Changing a safe combination was $3.50.
- Automobile keys made by code were 50 cents for single-bit or 75 cents for double-bit.
- The minimum service charge for outside work was $1, with a $2.50 additional charge for night or weekend calls.
It appears that this list of minimum prices applied to all members of the Federated Locksmiths of San Francisco and Peninsula, as adopted Feb. 3, 1938.

ECU team awarded funding for cancer research
Tuesday, 03 February 2009
Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in young Australians, and a team of researchers at ECU is undertaking new research to prevent secondary tumours caused by melanomas.
The project, led by Associate Professor Melanie Ziman, has been funded through a $70,000 research grant from the Cancer Council of WA.
Professor Ziman's team have recently developed a blood test to detect when melanoma cells migrate into the blood stream.
The blood test has the potential to save thousands of lives through early detection.
The current research will determine what makes melanoma cells circulating in the blood switch to dangerous metastatic cells which can cause secondary tumours.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Colt's new data-center architecture is designed to allow operators more flexibility in managing power and cooling, without having to do extensive remodelling, the company said Monday.
The architecture, called Ftec, should be of particular interest to data-center operators,which aren't seeing the growth they expected and are paying for unused capacity.
Ftec allows power densities to be dynamically adjusted while still keeping the data center cool and without necessarily having to shut down servers while doing these readjustments, according to the company.
The project to develop Ftec started about 18 months ago when Colt customers -- operators and enterprises -- began asking Colt if it was possible to increase or decrease the power density and change the related cooling demands in their data centers, according to Guy Ruddock, vice president of design delivery and operations at Colt Data Centre Services.
To make that possible, Colt has developed three technologies: spaceflex, powerflex and coolflex.
Colt started by addressing cooling, which is the key to adjusting most of the parameters in a data center.
"If you want more power in one area, adding that is one thing but you have to get the heat out," said Ruddock.
The result is coolflex, which can use a number of different cooling methods -- including fresh air only, direct-expansion (DX) only, indirect, mixed mode or chilled water -- to meet changing demands, according to Colt.
For example, should the compute power required remain lower than expected, the cooling can be dynamically altered to match that and run more efficiently, resulting in operational savings.
Powerflex makes it possible to build a data center with a 500 watt per square meter power density, which can be scaled as needed to 1,000, 1,500 or even 3,000 watt per square meter, and then go back down again, while spaceflex lets users change and mix the densities within the data center, according to Ruddock.
"[These technologies] open up a whole new vista of flexibility in data centers. Not only do they allow you to buy a data center at a minimum spec, but you can also change your mind and adjust as you go," said Ruddock.
To make all this possible, Colt has worked with ABB-owned Newave Energy International to allow more uninterruptible power supply blocks into an already running system. The company is working with other vendors, which it won't name at this point, according to Ruddock.
Colt also worked with climate control specialist Eaton-Williams to build a backplane for the scalable cooling, and there is a new under-floor design that allows the air flow to be segmented, Ruddock said.
The full Ftec data center will start shipping during the first quarter next year. To take advantage of all the parts, it has to be a new one. CIOs can also pick and choose which components they want to implement.
Building a data center that can scale to the highest power densities will add about 20 percent to the overall cost, according to Ruddock.
The new architecture builds on Colt's existing modular data center, which the company has been building during the last three and a half years.
The modularity was originally a concept for Colt to build its own data centers faster, at a lower cost and in a way that could be replicated across Europe, which makes it easier to operate the data center, according to Ruddock. It then evolved into something that Colt also offered others that wanted to build their own modular data centers, he said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Boston Red Sox: 5 Key Sox Vets You Likely Won't See on the 2013 Roster
By Chris Kolb ,
The 2012 season was an exercise in futility for the Red Sox, as they failed miserably to form a cohesive unit from the beginning of the season and subsequently carried out a year-long grudge match between the coaching staff and the players that resulted in one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
After the infighting and turmoil in Boston came to a head through the summer, the Red Sox miraculously found a way to shed a significant amount of salary with their trade of Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Punto to the Dodgers, essentially pressing a reset button financially with their roster in the process.
The youth movement and the results that followed shortly after the trade were predictably horrendous, with the key veterans still remaining on the team were unable to keep the club afloat while Triple-A call ups failed to produce much in the way of offense as the season came to a close.
All of that has led to a mass amount of speculation as to how the 2013 Red Sox will look when they take the field next spring, with fans of the team everywhere engaging each other in debate on who Boston might sign in free agency or acquire via trade.
Given that the discussion surrounding potential signings or trade candidates is thoroughly saturated as of right now, a look at a group of key veteran players that won't be taking the field in a Red Sox uniform when spring training commences seems to be in order, as knowing who's likely to be playing elsewhere makes projecting the signings/trades to fill each position opening that much easier.
So with that in mind, here are five players that I think will be donning another team's colors in the near future.
Much like Adrian Beltre before him, Cody Ross turned out to be an excellent single-season free agent signing by the Red Sox, using the Green Monster to his advantage more often than not and providing offense for Boston when no one else seemed to be capable.
Ross had an very nice season statistically speaking for the Red Sox last year, with a slash line of .267/.326/.481 to go along with 22 home runs and 81 runs batted in.
His home/road splits leave much to be desired though, as Ross was not able to carry his propensity for big hits with him when the Red Sox left the confines of Fenway Park. Ross's batting average, doubles, home runs and runs batted in all dropped off on the road, making it difficult for Boston to invest significant money in him this offseason.
Although the Red Sox and Ross's representation engaged somewhat in talks to keep him around over the next year or two during the team's exclusive signing window, nothing of merit was accomplished, and it's since come out that the two sides were never really close to reaching an agreement.
Ross has remained steadfast in his belief that he should receive a deal that falls close to three years, $25 million, and he'll test the waters of free agency to see if a team in need of an outfielder with right-handed pop is willing to give him what he wants in a contract.
Anything is possible, but given the Red Sox's reluctance to go that far in any contract with Ross, it's unlikely at this point that he'll back with the club next season.
Easily one of the most eccentric players ever to wear a Red Sox cap, Vicente Padilla had a reasonably decent season coming out of the bullpen in the eighth inning to get the game to the closer in the ninth.
He wasn't the most effective setup man by any means, but more often than not, Padilla was a reliable option for Boston late in games; something that most of the other bullpen arms were incapable of.
Padilla's statistics are not flashy or overly impressive, with a 4.50 ERA, 51 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.480, but he did seem to get the job done when he needed to.
His performance isn't likely to earn him anything major when it comes to longevity or salary, especially in light of his previous issues with other teams, but there's little doubt in my mind that there will be at least one team that will offer him a nice payday at some point this offseason.
Whether that team ends up being the Red Sox is anyone's best guess at this point, but the odds are not good considering the direction that Boston is trying to travel right now.
Regardless of how poorly he's performed over the past few seasons, Daisuke Matsuzaka will always be remembered (at least in my eyes) for the role he played in 2007, helping the Red Sox take home the World Series trophy in his first year with Boston.
Coming over from Japan, Matsuzaka was one of the most highly anticipated signings in recent history, and while the overall length of his original deal was not exactly put together in the most team-friendly way, financially speaking, the job he did in the World Series to hold off Colorado was outstanding.
That said, there will be no tears shed in his departure, as most every fan I've ever spoken to is fed up beyond belief with Matsuzaka's ever-present habit of trying to nibble around the edges of the plate instead of going after hitters with power over guile.
Matsuzaka's most likely destination at this point—if he stays in the MLB—seems to be a West Coast team with a pitcher-friendly ballpark where he'll have a bit more leeway if he misses with his pitches. He could potentially make a return to Japan as well, as he'd almost certainly have a hero's welcome waiting for him, given the rock star status he enjoys in his home country.
With fan sentiment clearly against him, it seems that Matsuzaka will have to be content finishing off his MLB career in a different locale, as the Red Sox seem to have no desire at this point to bring him back for another season.
Aceves is somewhat of a guess when it comes to whether he'll be with the Red Sox next year, as a trade would almost certainly be required for him to end up playing in a different locale next season.
Still, I am of the opinion that the Red Sox will be listening with the intent to move him this offseason, after putting up with countless tantrums and public displays of detrimental conduct towards the club in 2012.
A trade may or may not come to fruition, given Aceves's propensity for going off the deep end with no apparent reason to do so, but there is no doubting his ability on the mound. His versatility is almost unmatched around the league right now, as he can slot in as a starter and come out of the bullpen in a variety of roles.
Aceves spent the majority of last season as the Red Sox closer, finishing the year with an ERA of 5.36 and 25 saves. Those stats don't exactly jump off the page, but given the way the rest of team performed last season, Aceves wasn't the problem when it comes to Boston's win-loss record in 2012.
Players like that aren't easy to find, so the Red Sox may decide to hang onto Aceves rather than deal him away, but if they're able to include him into a trade that brings back a top level player or talent to help at several positions, it would be hard to not pull the trigger.
It's hard to imagine a Red Sox team taking the field next spring without Jacoby Ellsbury leading off, but his contractual status makes him a prime candidate for a trade this offseason.
Ellsbury is slated to hit free agency at the end of next year, and with the infamous Scott Boras pulling the strings as his agent, it's doubtful that he'll sign an extension before he sees what he might be able to pull in on the open market.
I recently discussed the necessity of dealing Ellsbury now, in an attempt to maximize the return Boston gets back in return for his services, as opposed to waiting and having him leave via free agency after next season with nothing to show for him other than a compensatory draft pick. How much they get back in a trade depends on which team the Red Sox choose to do business with and what kind of package Boston puts together around Ellsbury in the deal.
At this point, the Red Sox seem to not be interested in that strategy, preferring instead to hold steady with Ellsbury and hope they can put together an extension offer that entices him to stay put. In the end though, I'd be surprised if they don't send Ellsbury elsewhere prior to the start of the 2013 campaign.

Tell your friends about Southbank Centre classical music events.
Come on a musical journey with of the most profound and moving composers, taking in great symphonies, songs and talks on the way.
This season, Southbank Centre has a wealth of opportunities for you to develop your own personal journey with Mahler; the composer who expanded the Romantic orchestra to breaking point and whose inventive approach often blurred the distinction between symphonies and songs.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra, one of Southbank Centre's four Resident Orchestras, celebrates the anniversary of both the composer's birth and death with an exploration of his great works.
Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski explains the immersive appeal of the composer: 'Talking about Mahler is like about one's love for Shakespeare or Pushkin... one could not live without Mahler. My with him started at the age of 15 when a recording of Mahler's Fifth Symphony my father's record collection. When I heard it, I knew I wanted to become a conductor.'
Leading conductor Lorin Maazel also his gaze towards Mahler with another Southbank Centre's Resident Orchestras, the Philharmonia Orchestra, investigating the intimate relationship between song and the composer's symphonies.
Concerts in this London Philharmonic Orchestra series run from September 2010 to May 2011
Vladimir Jurowski conducts a programme of Wagner, Mahler and Liszt on Friday 21 January 2011
A complete Mahler symphony cycle with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Lorin Maazel, from April to October 2011

Join ConceptArt.Org.
Its' free and it takes less than 1 minute!
Need help with coloring and blending this.. It looks like everything is smudgy and blurry.
I dont even know what to do at this point, any tips or suggestions? How do I add texture? Those are jeans and the shoes are leather. Im just really lost at this point, any help will greatly be appreciated.
Heres the reference photo
Please any help is greatly appreciated..
Honestly you seem to be jumping way ahead of your own skills, nor are you following the ref very closely when it comes to the values.
You should be practicing construction, form, values and anatomy and other fundamentals (along with having a solid underdrawing), trying to create jean textures is for much later. I mean props for actually having a ref, it's more than what most people do, but practicing with say, apples and other simpler objects would be better: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...inting-In-PS-2
Though, you get less blurry if you work with 100% opacity and with a sharp brush in large enough size. Also having larger contrasts between your values will create sharper edges.

Color? Texture?
What about the head and the hands? Will you still draw these?
"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
Brushes with low opacity are always going to give you a blurry, 'dirty' look. Used as a principle drawing tool, I mean -- towards the end of a drawing, a few low-opacity touches can be very useful.
I don't usually draw at 100% opacity, but more like 70-80%. Working with high opacity brushes, make sure you get in the habit of using the ALT key to quickly eyedropper a color from the canvas. You need to change color a lot when you use strong brushes.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
If it's practice, then you should focus on the *method* - the process of making pictures and the technical parts of it. Yet you have jumped to painting before you had even a half of structural drawing done, and started with the foreground leaving the background blank. That's not process, that's random doodling. "I'll just slap out random crap" is not a good idea for practice.

I understand that. I dont have a process, and Im trying to find one. But how about some tips to help me improve? I agree with you 100% but thats not what I asked help for. I was not focused on finishing this what so ever, Im new with the tablet and im studying andrew loomis's books as someone requested I should. But ill keep what you said in consideration. Im putting away the tablet, and work solely in my sketchbook to focus on structure and the fundamentals. Thanks!
The tip to focus on the method, and not to jump into detail or painting before you've got more general task solved wasn't enough of a tip to help you improve?..

Verdun, hope you enjoy your breakfast - should guard against any congestion ..... anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome PinkQ I retired in November (we'd just been Ofsteded too) - Retirement is lovely - you can noodle all day with gardening friends, and go for walks with your camera and plan trips to see snowdrops with gardening friends, and ........... oh it's lovely
If you have any trouble acclimatising yourself to it we'll all help, won't we folks?
Good morning Panda and KEF

Haircut in the city centre planned for later in the day - anyone want anything from the market? I'll have to be able to bring it home on the bus .....
Will the veg plot be ready to use when you take it over or does it need a bit of work?
I think your moving date is fine - as long as you can get into that greenhouse straight away.
In that situation I'd start tomatoes and courgettes/squashes off just before you move, so they can go into the greenhouse when you get there, and get your potatoes chitted so they're ready to plant when you arrive.
Most other things can be sown directly into the soil - they'll not suffer any setback from planting out and will soon catch up with things that are started off early - I'm a great believer in direct sowing if you have the space in the veg plot.
Big Mick, sadly I think the problem is lack of sufficient sunlight in your current home. One hour of direct sunlight per day, particularly the low UV levels we get in the UK, is nothing like enough for a sunlover like a Yucca - it needs bright sunlight for most of the day.
I think in your situation I'd give the yucca to someone who has a south facing conservatory and see if they can revive it - and treat myself to a Philodendron, which will be much happier with the low light levels.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Fg, shame the government don't have magic wands ............. or on the other hand, would we trust them with power like what you have got?
Lawn sand will help deal with the moss - the advantage of using something like Evergreen Complete is that it will fertilise the grass at the same time, so that as the moss dies off the grass will cover the bare patches - two birds with one stone

Entry #6
Piano Driven Chill Jazz Album
11/14/12 by ProudAardvark
Hi everyone, as many of you know I'm a jazz/classical composer who got my start writing right here on Newgrounds. I have an album out now on iTunes, and thought some of you might be interested. I'd certainly appreciate your support!
Several of the tracks here got their start on this site (Dirty Martini was my entry to a piano and drum contest a few years back for example). All of them are piano driven in one way or another; but there's some jazz/electronic/classical crossover stuff at work too. At any rate, here's the link: Winter Moods on iTunes.
Would love to hear your comments on it; even if its just an angry rant about how the genre should really be post-industrial-neo-classical-squid-polka or something.
Also, I'm taking requests for my next album. Current ideas are 1) electronic 2) tracks from movies I've worked on over the last few years or 3) a concept album of fantasy/rpg music. You make the call.
Thanks Newgrounds!

The craziest, most violent and baddest "Bad Girl's Club" member of them all is under serious fire for doing what she does best -- poppin' off and puttin' some fool on his ass!
Tanisha Thomas is being sued by a guy who claims she bashed him in the face with a beer mug during an eye-bangin' smackdown at a Hollywood nightclub back in November. According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Kenneth Corrales claims he was just hangin' out when Thomas acted "in a manner not conducive to normal society" and caused a "deep laceration" to his forehead with a beer mug.
The entire brawl was caught on tape by the "Bad Girls Cub" camera crew, promoted, and featured in an episode -- in which a medic can be seen pressing a bandage against the guy's forehead. After the fight, Thomas was arrested, booked and locked up for a few days.
Corrales is suing Thomas and Bunim-Murray, the company that produces the show, for an unspecified amount of cash. Calls to their reps have not yet been returned.
With a name like "TANISHA" her parents never gave her a chance I know that feeling and 1st
That is stupid, I saw the video and she did not hit the guy. The fight was caused by some stupid girls who were desperate to get on camera and a fight broke out and Tanisha was trying to get some of her girls out of there. She was not trying to fight.
I am almost embarrassed to say I saw that show (not the whole season, the one in reference) and she didnt have anythign to do with the fight at all. She ripped one of her girls out of the fight. She was just the "big black girl" they assumed did it. I can't believe after watching the episode the guy is still suing her! Now keep in mind, she was trash to the fullest and has probably done something like this before but this dude is in the wrong, and being a sissy for getting in the middle of a bar brawl. Too bad if she woulda kept her mouth shut instead of yelling and carrying on it could have been resolved.
Well what do you expect? They glorify these worthless trashbags and seem to send out the messages it's okay to be a stupid loud-mouthed pig. I mean I guess it's okay in the sense it gives me some funny creatures to laugh at.
i seen that episode i thought the outcome was she didnt do anything thats why the charges got drop....that guy is stupid i hope he just makes an ass out of himself... tanisha was ghetto and annoying but come on this ass was all up in the mix if he didnt want a beer mug thrown at him he should of got the hell out of the way,,,,
i saw that episode, she was like the ONE girl NOT involved in that fight. that's messed up. Hope the film gets her off-it really seemed like they only arrested her bc she was the black one, so she must have done something. Can't believe cops really stereotype like that! I was thinking that SHE is the one who should have sued for unlawful arrest!
Some White people are still so racist!! When can we move on from this..I am sometimes ashamed of my people.
Black people have been through so much and we still continue to make it hard for them..like Obama said we need to CHANGE I can't wait til Obama is president..I believe he is the one to UNIFY us. (this girl may have been loud..but she is not the one thats wrong here)
Why do young woman speak or any one speak with this ghetto accent? And it has nothing to do with being black, white, spanish, asian,..etc. Will they talk like this when they are 50, 60 or 90? They all seen to have bad attitudes and she had the biggest mouth out of all. Maybe she should have shut up and gone home if she had a bad feeling about her night out. Bunch of losers, very sad.
This woman is an overblown, big-mouthed, bully! She desperately needs someone to kick her fat butt.
I seen the episode and TANISHA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GLASS BEING THROWN AT THAT IDIOT....apparently the rest of you who cannot not get that through your THICK STUPID heads are you all from the same planet as this idiot who is trying to sue someone who had nothing to do with his skull being bashed in...I wonder if he was damaged before or after that glas was bashed to his BIG head......geeez!
Stupid TMZ
Who is Tansha Thomas? Really I have no clue? If someone could tell me I would appreciate it? A lot of the people that are apparently famous for going to clubs I don't have one clue who they are.
I you guys or the judge, attorneys whatever, go back and watch the episode, Naveen did the smashing...all she did was try to pull Naveen out of the rumble. I don't know why people have to always assume the black girl did it. But the episode itself says it all. Yes I've seen all of that season more than once and yes tanisha does pop off all of the time, but the only person she actually hit was that nasty-a** sorry excuse for a mother jenna. I will go to court and testify on her behalf for that.
Okay people, i want you all to go back and watch the episode with an open eye and you can witness it for yourself. That's why tanisha was so upset at naveen and the hanna....she knew and even said in the episode that it wasn't her and she was a product of unfair racism. I'm telling you folks, watch the episode.

We just can't stay away from the hospital.
Posted Jan 01 2010 12:00am
I hope the holidays were great for all of you. We had a pretty good Christmas week. It was busy... we had three separate celebrations and by the end of it all the kids were beginning to act like entitled little punks so we've been working on gratitude this week. It seems to be helping.
We also had a visit at the Bone Marrow Transplant office right smack in the middle of the week, which only intensified the chaos of the holidays. We spent a few hours talking with the transplant doctor about the process, the options and what we can expect. Phil will be doing another cycle or two of chemo and could have his stem cells pulled as early as next week, depending on what his numbers look like. We both liked the doctor; he was very thorough and it was nice to have a clearer picture of how things are supposed to go down.
Speaking of things going down, I was at the top of our steps on Wednesday and slipped, falling allllll the way to the hardwoods at the bottom. My lower back was in excruciating pain and there was obvious concern about how the baby was doing so Phil took me to the ER while my friend Lindsay watched the kids. It turns out that, if you want to be seen right away in the ER, tell them you're 23 weeks pregnant and fell down a flight of stairs. They rushed me back, brought in the ultrasound gurus and checked us both out. Besides a fractured tailbone, everything looked good and we were discharged about two hours after arriving. So I've been trying to rest and take it easy for the last couple of days which isn't too difficult to do since I can't move. Phil took the week off and has been manning the children as best as one person can. My mom calls us Sick and Sicker, and that's just about right. It's currently up for debate who's who.
We had intentions of watching the ball drop on TV last night from the comfort of our respective couches but got all caught up in Stupid Human Tricks on The Late Show and accidentally rang in the new year watching some guy try to blow bubbles with his mouth using baby shampoo. When we turned back to Times Square it was 12:03. We are easily distracted, and even more easily amused.
So that's the holiday update. 2010 is going to have rough patches, so I can't say I'm all excited about it at this point, but there will be some bright spots as well and those will hopefully be enough to carry us through the challenges.
I hope you are all feeling well and staying hydrated today. You crazy party animals you.

The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed forward Nathan Gerbe to a three-year, $4.3 million deal with an average cap hit of $1.43 million per season.
Gerbe would have become a restricted free agent on Friday.
The 23-year-old just completed his first full season with the Sabres and posted 16 goals and 15 assists in 64 games.
He was a fifth-round pick of the Sabres in the 2005 draft.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

What is the reaction of the newspapers in your town? The Wall Street Journal had a front page article and USA today had a nice piece. However, each had a tinge of "is NASA still necessary?" to it.
I do think it a PR problem that we still haven't seen any high resolution images. I suspect many people who lack detailed knowledge about Curiosity but are broadly sympathetic might be tempted to think that the low-res thumbnails represent poor value for $2.5 billion. By this stage, Viking, Mars Pathfinder, Spirit, Opportunity and Phoenix had produced far better images. I understand the reasons, but I don't need to be convinced. Others do.

quote:Originally posted by Fezman92:Then again this newspaper has never been big on science at all.
Why? Because most people don't understand/appreciate what it can/has done for us. Just this morning in my weekly staff meeting (my office has 6 people) was asked, "Why did we go to the moon anyway? Why did we spend $2B+ on going to Mars? What will we ever get from it? What's the purpose of NASA anyway? We certainly don't get anything from it. OK, so we got velcro. Big deal. What else?" At which point my tongue started bleeding from me biting it to keep from starting an argument with them.
Sad, but true.
The New York Times (for example) consistently puts Hubble Space Telescope images on its front page because the images sell papers. Had it been technically possible to transmit a high resolution color panorama moments after landing, nearly every newspaper in the world would have run with it — because pictures sell papers, not words (ironically).

I understand he does something different with his hair for each mission? I guess Kranz had his vest so what the heck.
If it helps bring more fans and money to what JPL does I say you gotta go with it. Good for them, it is fine by me.

His tradition — and he's had this tradition through all of our system tests and launch and big events during cruise — he basically comes up with a unique hair style every time. He's very well known for this.Before EDL [entry, descent and landing], actually a few months ago, we actually had a flight team vote what his hair style should be and the flight team, the majority ruled on "Stars and Stripes..."

We've already seen a low-resolution movie clip of Curiosity's descent, as recorded by the Mars Descent Imager. This is the first high-resolution frame to be sent down.Eventually, hundreds of frames will be transmitted to Earth and combined to create a high-res movie showing the rover's-eye view of Curiosity's touchdown on the Red Planet.

Now I really am debating getting at least the first Star Trek movie, the 2009 one, on Blu-Ray. Remembering how good those movies looked in the theater and how great that would look on my home TV. Also having a few Blu-Rays just so you can look at really pretty things is never a bad thing. Technology pretty.
DVD/Blu-Ray Releases
1. Star Trek Into Darkness The sequel to the 2009 reboot from J.J. Abrams is now out on Blu-Ray. While it maybe wasn't as tightly wound of a story the action looked great and it was a fun ride. Also it has Khan in it, so how can you go wrong? | |
2. Homeland Season two of this drama filled and critical darling show is now out. I really want to catch up with this show since it seems to be really good but purchasing multiple seasons of a show I don't know if I like seems ridiculous. So every show should just be on Netflix from now on, agreed? | |
3. The League Another show I really need to watch and catch up on, luckily this one is on Netflix. Season four would catch you up completely on this show before the nest season starts. Maybe all these constant Netflix suggestions will finally convince me to watch it. |

I woke up this morning
My head fell dense I splashed it with water tryin' to make it make sense I stumbled to the kitchen She was standing at the sink All she had to do was just gimme that wink [Chorus] Slam-bam I'm feelin' alright Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink All she's gotta do is just give me that wink Well it's her way of sayin' she's on my side An unspoken message that works everytime When my brain starts smokin' And I can't even think All she's gotta do is just give me that wink [Repeat Chorus] In this complicated world It may sound absurd But simple little things are the miracle cure Push to the limit I'm standin' at the brink All she's gotta do is just give me that wink [Repeat Chorus 2x] submitted by Jeff Ginther

The Data Citation Synthesis Group of Force11 (Future of Research Communications and eScholarship) has released the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles, which are intended to encourage "good practice" with respect to data citation. From the preamble:
Sound, reproducible scholarship rests upon a foundation of robust, accessible data. For this to be so in practice as well as theory, data must be accorded due importance in the practice of scholarship and in the enduring scholarly record. In other words, data should be considered legitimate, citable products of research. Data citation, like the citation of other evidence and sources, is good research practice and is part of the scholarly ecosystem supporting data reuse.
The group includes representation from major publishers, the National Academies, DataCite, the Research Data Alliance, and others. The Data Citation Synthesis Group are seeking endorsement of the document from individuals and organizations concerned with data use and attribution.

Unity Medical Center going electronic
GRAFTON – Last Friday was an "Epic" day at Unity Medical Center in Grafton. Friday was the first day that the health care facility went electronic with all of it record keeping and data entry.
"Along with all of the requirements of Medicare and the federal government, everyone is converting over their systems into medical records," Unity Medical center CEO Everett Butler said.
In fact the switch to electronic medical records was mandated by President Barack Obama's Reinvest in America Act, enacted in his first term in office.
Butler said UMC recently signed a contract with Altru to join their electronic medical record system network. He said most other health care facilities have done so, or are currently in the process of doing so.
A total of 37 support staff from Altru Health Systems in Grand Forks were on site Friday for the initial "go live" that started just after midnight, to make sure the transition went smoothly and all questions that needed to be asked were answered.
"They've been working with every aspect of the organization from the clinic to business services, admissions, emergency room – everything," Butler said. "Every department that takes care of patients will be on record."
According to Butler it's been a long process. UMC employees have been working and training with Altru staff for the last month and a half with their staff coming to Grafton and members of UMC's staff going to Grand Forks.
According to administrative director of information services Mark Waind, Altru went completely electronic in April 2010, ending a 14-month transition process.
Altru uses a system developed by Epic, an electronic medical records system company which is based in Verona, Wisc.
Every aspect of a patient's dealings with UMC will now be stored electronically which will do away with scores of paper records. It will also make sharing of records much simpler.
Bulter said physicians will be privy to patient records all along the network. For example if a patient from Grafton is doctoring in Grand Forks, the physician in Grand Forks will have instant access to the patient's records.
In the past, that information would have to be brought by the patient on paper, faxed or transferred by some other means.
"Typically what would happen in the past, if that information wasn't available, you'd have to re-run tests," Waind said. "We always have to make sure we have the appropriate consent from a patient that their information can be shared. But, if it's in place it's a really nice feature for the patient and their safety."
According to Waind, another neat aspect of the Epic system is that patients in Grafton will eventually be able to access their own medical records via an application on their personal smartphones.
With the new system, computer terminals are popping up in places where they weren't before including examination rooms and nurses' stations.
