You're Cooking My Meat!: New Study (NEW?!) Shows Laptop Use Might Be Frying Your Nuts
The last thing I need is any more children running around. Shoot, I don't even want any more children laying around. Enter a recent study published in the Fertility and Sterility journal about laptops cooking dudes' nuts. *high-five* I WAS MADE TO BE A BLOGGER DAMMIT, NOT A BABY MAKER.
Dr. Yefim Sheynkin, a urologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, who led the new study, said:
"Millions and millions of men are using laptops now, especially those in the reproductive age range. Within 10 or 15 minutes their scrotal temperature is already above what we consider safe."But according to Dr. Sheynkin, men don't feel the rise in temperature. Also, Sheynkin says that there is little that man can do to lower the temperatures, besides placing the laptop on a desk instead of their laps.
Sheynkin says that the heat from the computer isn't the only problem. When you place a computer on your lap, you typically sit with your legs together. This body heat also helps to "cook" your testicles.
Awesome, so I've been cooking my privates every day for well over three years now. Also, other peoples'. Hanniballs Lector style, yo!

Sher Shah Suri (1486 – 22 May 1545) (Persian/Pashto: فريد خان شير شاہ سوري – Farīd Xān Šer Šāh Sūrī, birth name Farid Khan, also known as Sher Khan, "The Lion King") was the founder of the Sur Empire in North India, with its capital at Delhi.[3] An ethnic Pashtun, Sher Shah took control of the Mughal Empire in 1540. After his accidental death in 1545, his son Islam Shah became his successor.[4][5][6][7][8] He first served as a private before rising to become a commander in the Mughal army under Babur and then as the governor of Bihar. In 1537, when Babur's son Humayun was elsewhere on an expedition, Sher Khan overran the state of Bengal and established the Sur dynasty.[9] A brilliant strategist, Sher Shah proved himself a gifted administrator as well as an able general. His reorganization of the empire laid the foundations for the later Mughal emperors, notably Akbar the Great, son of Humayun.[9]
During his five year rule from 1540 to 1545, he set up a new civic and military administration, issued the first Rupiya and re-organised the postal system of India.[10] He further developed Humayun's Dina-panah city and named it Shergarh and revived the historical city of Pataliputra as Patna which had been in decline since the 7th century CE.[11] He is also famously remembered for killing a fully grown tiger with his bare hands in a jungle of Bihar.[4][9] He extended the Grand Trunk Road from Chittagong in Bangladesh to Kabul in Afghanistan.
Early life and origin
Sher Shah was born as Farid Khan in the present day district of Mahendragarh in south Haryana, earlier part of Hisar district of combined Punjab in India. His grand father Ibrahim Khan Sur was a land lord (Jagirdar) in Narnaul area and represented Delhi rulers of that period. Mazar of Ibrahim Khan Sur still stands as a monument in Narnaul. Tarikh-i Khan Jahan Lodi (MS. p. 151).[2] also confirm this fact. However, the online Encyclopædia Britannica states that he was born in Sasaram (Bihar), in the Rohtas district.[4] He was one of about eight sons of Mian Hassan Khan Sur, a prominent figure in the government of Bahlul Khan Lodi. Sher Khan belonged to the Pashtun Sur tribe (the Pashtuns are known as Afghans in historical Persian language sources).[12] His grandfather, Ibrahim Khan Sur, was a noble adventurer who was recruited much earlier by Sultan Bahlul Lodi of Delhi during his long contest with the Jaunpur Sultanate.
"It was at the time of this bounty of Sultán Bahlol, that the grandfather of Sher Sháh, by name Ibráhím Khán Súri,*[The Súr represent themselves as descendants of Muhammad Súri, one of the princes of the house of the Ghorian, who left his native country, and married a daughter of one of the Afghán chiefs of Roh.] with his son Hasan Khán, the father of Sher Sháh, came to Hindu-stán from Afghánistán, from a place which is called in the Afghán tongue "Shargarí,"* but in the Multán tongue "Rohrí." It is a ridge, a spur of the Sulaimán Mountains, about six or seven kos in length, situated on the banks of the Gumal. They entered into the service of Muhabbat Khán Súr, Dáúd Sáhú-khail, to whom Sultán Bahlol had given in jágír the parganas of Hariána and Bahkála, etc., in the Panjáb, and they settled in the pargana of Bajwára."[2]
—Abbas Khan Sarwani, 1580
During his early age, Farid was given a village in Fargana, Delhi(comprising present day districts of Bhojpur, Buxar, Bhabhua of Bihar) by Omar Khan, the counselor and courtier of Bahlul Khan Lodi. Farid Khan and his father, who had several wives, did not get along for a while so he decided to run away from home. When his father discovered that he fled to serve Jamal Khan, the governor of Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, he wrote Jamal Khan a letter that stated:
"Faríd Khán, being annoyed with me, has gone to you without sufficient cause. I trust in your kindness to appease him, and send him back; but if refusing to listen to you, he will not return, I trust you will keep him with you, for I wish him to be instructed in religious and polite learning."[13]
Jamal Khan had advised Farid to return home but he refused. Farid replied in a letter:
"If my father wants me back to instruct me in learning, there are in this city many learned men: I will study here."[13]
Conquering Bihar and Bengal
Farid Khan started his service under Bahar Khan Lohani, the Mughal Governor of Bihar.[1][4] Because of his valor, Bahar Khan rewarded him the title Sher Khan (Tiger Lord). After the death of Bahar Khan, Sher Khan became the regent ruler of the minor Sultan, Jalal Khan. Later sensing the growth Sher Shah's power in Bihar, Jalal sought assistance of Ghiyasuddin Mahmud Shah, the independent Sultan of Bengal. Ghiyasuddin sent an army under General Ibrahim Khan. But, Sher Khan defeated the force at the battle of Surajgarh in 1534. Thus he achieved complete control of Bihar.[1]
In 1538, Sher Khan attacked Bengal and defeated Ghiyashuddin Shah.[1] But he could not capture the kingdom because of sudden expedition of Emperor Humayun.[1] In 1539, Sher Khan faced Humayun in the battle of Chausa. He forced Humayun out of India. Assuming the title Sher Shah, he ascended the throne of Delhi.[4]
Battle of Sammel
In 1543, Sher Shah Suri set out against Rajputana with a huge force of 80,000 cavalry. With an army of 50,000 cavalry, Maldeo Rathore advanced to face Sher Shah's army. Instead of marching to the enemy's capital Sher Shah halted in the village of Sammel in the pargana of Jaitaran, ninety kilometers east of Jodhpur. After one month, Sher Shah's position became critical owing to the difficulties of food supplies for his huge army. To resolve this situation, Sher Shah resorted to a cunning ploy. One evening, he dropped forged letters near the Maldeo's camp in such a way that they were sure to be intercepted. These letters indicated, falsely, that some of Maldeo's army commanders were promising assistance to Sher Shah. This caused great consternation to Maldeo, who immediately (and wrongly) suspected his commanders of disloyalty. Maldeo left for Jodhpur with his own men, abandoning his commanders to their fate.
After that Maldeo's innocent generals Jaita and Kunpa fought with the just 20,000 men against an enemy force of 80,000 men. In the ensuing battle of Sammel (also known as battle of Giri Sumel), Sher Shah emerged victorious, but several of his generals lost their lives and his army suffered heavy losses. Sher Shah is said to have commented that "for a few grains of bajra (millet, which is the main crop of barren Marwar) I almost lost the entire kingdom of Hindustan."
After this victory, Sher Shah's general Khavass Khan took possession of Jodhpur and occupied the territory of Marwar from Ajmer to Mount Abu in 1544. But by July, Maldeo reoccupied his lost territories.
Government and administration
Specially Sher Khan was not an angel (malak) but a king (malik). In six years he gave such stability to the structure (of the empire) that its foundations still survive. He had made India flourish in such a way that the king of Persia and Turan appreciate it, and have a desire to look at it. Hazrat Arsh Ashiyani (Akbar the great) followed his administrative manual (zawabit) for fifty years and did not discontinue them. In the same India due to able administration of the well wishers of the court, nothing is left except rabble and jungles...
The system of tri-metalism which came to characterize Mughal coinage was introduced by Sher Shah. While the term rūpya had previously been used as a generic term for any silver coin, during his rule the term rūpiya came to be used as the name for a silver coin of a standard weight of 178 grains, which was the precursor of the modern rupee.[10] Rupee is today used as the national currency in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Mauritius, Maldives, Seychelles among other countries. Gold coins called the Mohur weighing 169 grains and copper coins called Dam were also minted by his government.[10][14]
Sher Shah built monuments including Rohtas Fort (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Pakistan), many structures in the Rohtasgarh Fort in Bihar, Sher Shah Suri Masjid, in Patna, built in 1540–1545 to commemorate his reign.
Qila-i-Kuhna mosque, built by Sher Shah in 1541, at Purana Qila, Delhi, a Humayun citadel started in 1533, and later extended by him, along with the construction of Sher Mandal, an octagonal building inside the Purana Qila complex, which later served as the library of Humayun.
Tarikh-i-Sher Shahi (History of Sher Shah), written by Abbas Khan Sarwani, a waqia-navis under later Mughal Emperor, Akbar around 1580, provides a detailed documentation about Sher Shah's administration.
Death and succession
Sher Shah is believed to have died from a gunpowder explosion during the siege of Kalinjar fort on 13th May 1545, while fighting against the Chandel Rajputs. His death has also been claimed to have been caused by a fire in his store room.
Sher Shah Suri was succeeded by his son, Jalal Khan who took the title of Islam Shah Suri. His mausoleum, the Sher Shah Suri Tomb (122 ft high) stands in the middle of an artificial lake at Sasaram, a town that stands on the Grand Trunk Road.[15]
Grand Trunk Road
Mughals extended Grand Trunk Road westwards: at one time, it extended to Kabul in Afghanistan, crossing the Khyber Pass. The road was later improved by the British rulers of colonial India. It was extended to run from Calcutta to Peshawar (present-day Pakistan). Over the centuries, the road acted as a major trade routes in the region and facilitated both travel and postal communication. Since the era of Sher Shah, the road was dotted with caravansarais (highway inns) at regular intervals, and trees were planted on both sides of the road to give shade to the travellers and merchants. Sher Shah made many road for tax free trade.The Grand Trunk Road is still used for transportation in present day India & Pakistan.
Shersabadia community
Some soldiers were left behind by Sher Shah Suri as he escaped from Bengal, avoiding the Humayun invasion. These people are known as Shersabadia. They made a colony named Shershahabad which is no more due to a course change of Ganges. Today the people of this community are found in parts of Malda, Murshidabad, Chapai Nawabganj and a few other parts of and to be believed some parts not in IndiaBengal.
Sher Shah neighbourhood and Sher Shah Bridge in Kiamari Town of Karachi and Sher Shah Park in Wah Cantt, Pakistan, are named in the honour of Sher Shah Suri.

Intro to Clojure on the Web
Lisp is one of those languages that people either love or hate. Count me among the Lisp lovers. I was brainwashed during my undergraduate studies at MIT to believe that Lisp is the only "real" programming language out there, and that anything else is a pale imitation. True, I use Python and Ruby in my day-to-day work, but I often wish I had the chance to work with Lisp on a regular basis.
One window of opportunity to do exactly that has opened in the past few years. Clojure, a modern variant of Lisp that runs on the Java virtual machine (JVM), has been taking the programming world by storm. It's a real Lisp, which means that it has all of the goodness you would want and expect: functional programming paradigms, easy use of complex data structures and even such advanced facilities as macros. Unlike other Lisps, and contributing in no small part to its success, Clojure sits on top of the JVM, meaning that it can interoperate with Java objects and also work in many existing environments.
In this article, I want to share some of my experiences with starting to experiment with Clojure for Web development. Although I don't foresee using Clojure in much of my professional work, I do believe it's useful and important always to be trying new languages, frameworks and paradigms. Clojure combines Lisp and the JVM in just the right quantities to make it somewhat mainstream, which makes it more interesting than just a cool language that no one is really using for anything practical.
Clojure Basics
Clojure, as I mentioned above, is a version of Lisp that's based on the JVM. This means if you're going to run Clojure programs, you're also going to need a copy of Java. Fortunately, that's not much of an issue nowadays, given Java's popularity. Clojure itself comes as a Java archive (JAR) file, which you then can execute.
But, given the number of Clojure packages and libraries you'll likely want to use, you would be better off using Leiningen, a package manager for installing Clojure and Clojure-related packages. (The name is from a story, "Leiningen and the Ants", and is an indication of how the Clojure community doesn't want to use the established dependency-management system, Ant.) You definitely will want to install Leiningen. If your Linux distribution doesn't include a modern copy already, you can download the shell script from https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein.
Execute this shell script, putting it in your PATH. After you download the Leiningen jarfile, it will download and install Leiningen in your ~/.lein directory (also known as LEIN_HOME). That's all you need in order to start creating a Clojure Web application.
With Leiningen installed, you can create a Web application. But in
order to do that, you'll need to decide which framework to use.
Typically, you create a new Clojure project with lein new
, either
naming the project on which you want to work (lein new
or by naming the template you wish to copy and then the name of the
project (lein new mytemplate myproject
). You can get a list of
existing templates by executing lein help new
or by looking at the
https://clojars.org site, a repository for Clojure jarfiles and libraries.
You also can open an REPL (read-eval-print loop) in order to communicate directly with Clojure. I'm not going to go into all the details here, but Clojure supports all the basic data types you would expect, some of which are mapped to Java classes. Clojure supports integers and strings, lists and vectors, maps (that is, dictionaries or hashes) and sets. And like all Lisps, Clojure indicates that you want to evaluate (that is, run) code by putting it inside parentheses and putting the function name first. Thus, you can say:
(println "Hello")
(println (str "Hello," " " "Reuven"))
(println (str (+ 3 5)))
You also can assign variables in Clojure. One of the important things to know about Clojure is that all data is immutable. This is somewhat familiar territory for Python programmers, who are used to having some immutable data types (for example, strings and tuples) in the language. In Clojure, all data is immutable, which means that in order to "change" a string, list, vector or any other data type, you really must reassign the same variable to a new piece of data. For example:
user=> (def person "Reuven")
user=> (def person (str person " Lerner"))
user=> person
"Reuven Lerner"
Although it might seem strange to have all data be immutable, this tends to reduce or remove a large number of concurrency problems. It also is surprisingly natural to work with given the number of functions in Clojure that transform existing data and the ability to use "def" to define things.
You also can create maps, which are Clojure's implementation of hashes or dictionaries:
user=> (def m {:a 1 :b 2})
user=> (get m :a)
user=> (get m :x)
You can get the value associated with the key "x", or a default if you prefer not to get nil back:
user=> (get m :x "None")
Remember, you can't change your map, because data in Clojure is immutable. However, you can add it to another map, the values of which will override yours:
user=> (assoc m :a 100)
{:a 100, :b 2}
One final thing I should point out before diving in is that you
can (of course) create functions in Clojure. You can create an
anonymous function with fn
(fn [first second] (+ first second))
The above defines a new function that takes two parameters and adds
them together. However, it's usually nice to put these into a named
function, which you can do with def
user=> (def add (fn [first second] (+ first second)))
user=> (add 5 3)
Because this is common, you also can use the defn
macro, which
combines def
and fn
user=> (add 5 3)
user=> (defn add [first second] (+ first second))

very interesting topic for Lisp programming language. It is very useful part to anyone.thanks for sharing this valuable information. http://nopalea.jigsy.com/nopalea
Lisp programming language
I think Lisp programming language growing popular day by day. Also Clojure for Web development sector Lisp programming language is important. Thanks to introduce me on Clojure Basics. http://www.healthforus.info
The maintenance cost
The maintenance cost estimates are based on the cost to maintain 50W 24V LED Fire Engine Work lamps a vehicle and perform needed repairs for five years and 75,000 miles, including labor expenses, replacement part prices and the purchase of an extended warranty.
LISP very rarely used....
I agree with you. Now a days, we only use the LISP in college days not in real life as it is rarely used and new technologies and advancements are used in real practice.

Well, OK
If you like LISP then I guess clojure is fine for you.
Frankly, if I were programming functionally I'd be using either erlang or haskell. LISP is over 50 years old and looks its age.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Campfire Safety Guidelines
May 29, 2012 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
All it takes is one spark for things to go wrong.
A carelessly abandoned campfire or a campfire built without safe clearance can turn a small fire into a dangerous and fast-moving blaze. Be sure to build your campfire in a way that does not endanger anyone or the surrounding forest.
Check with local authorities on open-air burning restrictions and follow local burning regulations. Keep current on fire bans in the area.
Enjoy a safe campfire by following these campfire safety tips:
- NEVER build a campfire on a windy day—sparks or embers from the fire could travel quite a distance setting an unintentional fire
- Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks aren't approaching any flammable materials
- Build the campfire where it will not spread; well away from tents, trailers, dry grass, leaves, overhanging tree branches, or any other combustible
- Build campfires in fire pits provided or on bare rock or sand, if no fire pit is provided
- Maintain a 6 to 10 foot clearance around your campfire
- Use crumpled paper and kindling to start a fire rather than flammable liquids
- NEVER use gasoline as an aid to starting a campfire
- Secure all lighters and matches and keep out of children's reach
- Keep campfires to a small, manageable size no more than 3 feet in high and 3 feet in diameter
- DO NOT burn garbage in your campfire
- Keep all combustible materials, including flammable liquids, propane cylinders, and lighting fluid away from the campfire
- Stack extra wood upwind and away from the campfire so that sparks from the campfire cannot ignite your woodpile
- NEVER leave campfires unattended—ensure that a responsible adult is monitoring the campfire at all times
- Supervise children around campfires at all times and never allow horseplay near or involving the campfire, such as jumping over a campfire
- Teach children how to STOP, DROP, and ROLL should their clothing catch on fire
- Teach children to cool a burn with cool running water for 3 to 5 minutes
- Keep plenty of water and a shovel nearby to douse the fire when you're done
- After carefully applying the water, stir the dampened coals and douse again with water
- As an added precaution, shovel sand or dirt to cover the dampened coals to smother any remaining embers
Be aware that as little as one second contact with a 158-degree F campfire can cause third degree, full thickness burns. The average campfire can get as hot as 932 degrees F in as little as three hours.
The majority of children are burned the morning after a fire from coming into contact with hot ashes or embers.
A campfire left to burn itself out or put out with sand only was still 212 degrees eight hours later. The buried coals and embers retain their heat underground like an oven. There is also a risk that the fire may spontaneously re-ignite. A child may mistake the pile of sand or dirt as a sand castle and attempt to play in it.
The temperature, less than four inches below the surface of the sand or dirt can be as high as 572 degrees F.
A campfire put out with water is reduced to 122 degrees F within 10 minutes of applying the water and reduced to 50 degrees F after eight hours. The safest way to extinguish a campfire is with water.
The above information is based on safety guidelines provided by Windsor (Ontario) Fire & Rescue Service.
Worth Pondering…
How a Fire Burns
In order for fire to occur, four elements must be present:
Fuel (wood, paper, cloth, gas, oils, fiberglass)
Oxygen (air at between 17% and 19%)
Heat (brakes, engine compartment, exhaust system, transmission)
Chemical Chain Reaction (batteries, refrigerator)
If any one of these four components are missing, a fire cannot burn.

Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at New York Life in September 2013.
Interview Details – The hiring process is not designed to seek out the interest of the applicant. The company has sales vacancies to fill and that is what they offer. The sales pitch is very good, and the promises are impressive. New agent will end up spending more money out of pocket to meet requirements, than they will actually earn.
Interview Question – None. They were not interested in asking questions. The process was a sales pitch designed to draw the applicant in. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Not much. They basically made it look like once the applicant was willing to work, following the company's protocals they will be successful. The cost and benifits of earning was placed on the applicant 100%

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 5 days - interviewed at New York Life in November 2012.
Interview Details – Recruited out of military career fair. Manager who recruited/interviewed me was extremely pleasant, and a veteran as well. It's pretty clear that retention is an issue because although they have a reputation for great support, selling life insurance is just tough, especially working on 100% commission. Interview process was a breeze. There was a personality test via computer and an in-person interview that were not intimidating in the slightest. Pleasant, low-pressure experience. They want to know if you're sales driven and if you have contacts you can bring in right away, but seems like they'll hire you even if you don't as long as you're not useless.
Interview Question – There were no especially difficult questions. They want to know that you CAN take "no" for an answer from potential clients though. Fact of life in sales. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – It sounded like it would be too stressful to work on commission and like I might have to pressure friends and family to buy the products. I didn't like the sound of that, but that's just my personality. If they were offering any job besides sales, I would've taken it right away. Really pleasant office culture and lots of support for employees.

I applied through college or university and the process took 2 days - interviewed at New York Life.

Interview Question – well it was really par the course nothing out of the ordinary Answer Question

Smart label sensor gives Superior results
Dave Lipsett, technology development manager for Superior Farms, says that the SensorQ label aligns with the company's commitment to high-quality meat products. "Our customers depend on us for safe, wholesome, high-quality food products," he says, "and we pride ourselves on finding innovative ways to stay on the forefront of technology."
For Superior's MAP products
Superior Farms offers veal and lamb under its own name, and lamb
The SensorQ label will be used on the company's MAP products, relates Dr. Melissa VanLaningham, Superior Farms' director of food science. "Once this new label is on packaging, shoppers will be able to determine freshness in the store and after taking the product home, eliminate the guesswork," she says. "We want them to know that their safety is important to us."Another application being tested is the use of the labels for outer bags, or "mother bags." The mother bag is a high-barrier bag into which individual, prewrapped trays of meat are packed. The bag is vacuumed and then gas-flushed prior to sealing. At the retail store, the mother bag is opened, and the trays are placed in the meat case.Says Dr. VanLaningham, "In the mother bag application, the aim would be to give one more validation to our retailers that the mother bag product they open is wholesome. Especially with new personnel opening a low-oxygen mother bag where the product is purple until it is exposed to oxygen and has time to bloom, this would help them understand that the product is not spoiled. We are testing this procedure in-house now."
Bacteria triggers sensor
The stick-on SensorQ label, comprised of food-grade materials, is applied to the inside wrap of fresh meat or poultry products during packaging and detects food-borne bacteriological levels inside the package. A "Q" printed on the label acts as a visual tool to determine freshness. When the inside of the Q is orange, the product is fresh. As the meat or poultry spoils, naturally occurring bacteria becomes too high and emits gaseous byproducts, including molecules called biogenic amines. These molecules cause the inside of the Q to turn from orange to tan, indicating not fresh, and then to green or blue, which denotes "beyond spoiled," explains Megan M. Owens, executive director of marketing and product management for FQSI.
Bonné relates that the advantage of the SensorQ system is that it enables consumers to better determine product freshness at home. "The fresh meat and poultry industry can now extend its reach directly into home refrigerators to give the added level of quality assurance so critically needed in this day and age," he says. "SensorQ will remove the skepticism that more than 40 percent of consumers have with the traditional 'consume by' code-dating system."
Applied manually and automatically
The SensorQ labels are supplied to packagers on a roll, in a zippered film bag that provides "years" of shelf life, notes Bonné. The labels can be applied manually to the inside of meat or poultry packaging, or through the use of automated labeling systems. At Superior Farms, Dr. VanLaningham says, the labels are applied prior to the seal station either by hand or via an automatic label applicator. The introduction of the labels, she notes, required no change in Superior Farms' packaging process.
Regarding the price of the labels, Lipsett notes that while they do represent some additional costs, "an increase is worth it when customers are provided with a tool to ensure food safety."

In Lake County, prosecutors say a 26-year-old Crown Point man who was reportedly wearing a shirt that had "Jasper County Sheriff" on it faces multiple charges after police allegedly found two explosive devices, handcuffs, a loaded handgun, and police scanner in his car. The Porter County Bomb Unit was called to assist. According to a report in the Times today, court records state Ryan Cohn told authorities he collected police items as a hobby, and when asked about the devices, allegedly said he likes "things that go boom." He faces two felony counts of possession of a destructive device and resisting law enforcement, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful use of a police radio. He was stopped Friday after police got a report of a suspicious person and vehicle in a church parking lot in the Crown Point area, and according to nwi.com was released Tuesday after posting bond of just under five-thousand dollars.

Annapolis Architect to Lecture on Mellon Hall at St. John's College
FOR RELEASE: March 9, 2012
CONTACT: Gregory Shook, 410-626-2539
Annapolis-based architect Chip Bohl will discuss "Richard Neutra's Mellon Hall at St. John's College." Neutra, an important modernist architect, designed Mellon Hall. Bohl is the architect of the building's later renovations, the addition of the administrative wing and the Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Gallery. The lecture will take place in the Conversation Room in Mellon Hall on April 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Bohl's firm earned a citation from the American Institute of Architects for its work on the Mitchell Gallery. About the design, Bohl says, "The gallery was always intended to be an educational space, connected to the campus, not isolated."

SOURCE Canadian Human Rights Commission
OTTAWA, Dec. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) notes the decision and recommendations of the jury of the Coroner's inquest into the tragic death of Ashley Smith and issues the following statement:
The treatment of people with mental disabilities in Canada's correctional facilities is a pressing human rights issue.
It is the position of the CHRC that people with serious or acute mental disabilities should be housed in a treatment facility or hospital.
While offenders lose many rights as a consequence of their actions, Canada's human rights laws give people with mental disabilities the right to be accommodated for their disabilities when incarcerated.
In addition, the Canadian Human Rights Commission continues to express deep concern over the practice of placing people with mental disabilities in solitary confinement.
Solitary confinement should never be used for inmates with serious or acute mental disabilities.
This tragedy was preventable and must never be allowed to happen again.

Everyone who knows Nathan knows it was the perfect job — he loves the outdoors, and he was trying to instill the same in his girls. His friend Michael Tart, a Lake real-estate agent, said Nathan got a big kick out of taking his daughters fishing.
"He treated those little girls like they were his best friends, did everything with them," Tart said.
The family moved in 2010 to Collier County, where the wildlife commission assigned him to work. Now, however, the agency has told Nathan they will move him back to the Central Florida area.
He will be near his parents and friends while he learns how to live past having his family swept away. Nathan's father has been thinking about how to help his son do that.
"In the days to come, this family is going to surround him — we're not going to smother him — but he'll know that we love him and we grieve along beside him," the senior Douglas said.
"He'll never be over it. They had the most incredible relationship — the way they loved and played and spent time together," Douglas said. "We've lost a lot, but we've had so much. We wouldn't have missed having them, no matter what."
Nathan will step back into a big extended family, many from the Sheriff's Office and from churches. Faith is the pillar that keeps the Douglases putting one foot in front of another.
Already, Jill Santos is feeling a glimmer of solace through the darkness of loss.
"I think there's a comfort in knowing Cecilia was a very godly woman. She knew where she was going and just that in itself gave me a sense of peace.
"I know I'm going to see them again someday."
And perhaps messages of hope come in other ways, too. You decide:
The Douglas family and the family of sheriff's Lt. John Herrell were friends while the Douglases lived here. They used to joke that the Herrells' oldest son, Kaden, would grow up and marry Madison Douglas.
Now, of course, the humor carries a wistful pang. Madison — still alive after 30 minutes in the canal — was taken off life support at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg on Tuesday night. She died quietly at 8:56 p.m., cradled in her dad's arms, surrounded by love.
Halfway across the state in Lake on Tuesday night, an infant girl was making her noisy, long-awaited debut, the world and the future opening to her as she glimpsed her first ray of light at birth. Olivia Kate Herrell, a full head of glossy brown hair, arrived at precisely 8:56 p.m.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY HELD ON JULY 22, 1968 A special meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University was held on the 22nd day of July, 1968 at 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon in the President's dining room of the Hibbs Building, Virginia Commonwealth University, in the City of Richmond, Virginia, pursuant to due notice. Present were all of the members of the Committee except Messrs. Wayne and Wilson. Present by invitation were Messrs. Smith, Nelson, Bailey, Heil, Holmes and Crooks. Mr. Brent served as Chairman of the meeting and recorded the minutes. The Chairman then welcomed the various officials of the University who were present and asked Dr. Smith to present his Report with respect to such matters as he felt required attention. Dr. Smith called on Colonel Heil and asked him to proceed. Colonel Heil thereupon distributed to the meeting the notes of a meeting of the Advisory Board of the Health Sciences Division of the University with various schedules attached thereto and called attention to the fact that the list of gifts and grants indicated that $2,063,000 more than the previous year, an increase of 40%, had been received. Continuing his report, Colonel Heil referred to the list of Faculty appointments, promotions, termination of appointments and special actions which he indicated had been recommended by the Advisory Board and which would require attention of the Board of Visitors at the next meeting. With further reference to personnel matters, Colonel Heil called attention to the fact that the Administration had recommended, and with the approval of the Advisory Board, had forwarded to the Director of Personnel of the Commonwealth of Virginia the following salary increases: Harry Lyons, School of Dentistry, from $25,000 to $27,500; Warren E. Weaver, School of Pharmacy from $25,000 to $27,500; Kinloch Nelson, School of Medicine from $30,000 to $33,000. He stated, however, that the proposed increases had been returned for consideration and action by the Board of Visitors of the University. Proceeding to the next item, Colonel Heil indicated that the Chaplain's service would have to be discontinued unless additional funds were made available for its support. He stated that local ecclesiastical organizations would make some funds available and that additional funds would be made available by the MCV Foundation if the program is approved by the Board of Visitors. He stated that the program was recommended by the Advisory Board and that he would undertake to make available to all of the Visitors appropriate information in this connection prior to the next meeting of the Board so that action might be taken at that time. Upon the conclusion of Colonel Heil's Report, Dr. Smith asked Mr. Crooks to review the financial condition of the Health Sciences Division. Mr. Crooks proceeded and pointed out that the Hospital had a deficit for the past fiscal year of 1,900,000, which is the largest ever incurred, and that the amount had been borrowed from the State and evidenced by a note which, he indicated, would be repaid with a deficiency appropriation by the 1970 Session of the General Assembly. Mr. Crooks also pointed out that the accounts receivable of the Hospital now amount to $5,000,000 plus 3,000,000 of accounts which have been written off but a portion of which, at least, it is hoped will be collectible. The Chairman then called on Dr. Nelson for his Report, whereupon, Dr. Nelson presented to the meeting a memorandum with respect to the status of the Academic Division which contained various recommendations which he felt should be considered in the future. Dr, Nelson's Report is attached to the minutes of the meeting. At the request of Dr. Nelson, Mr. Holmes then presented a brief report with respect to the financial condition of the General Academic Division. It was then pointed out that the Board of Visitors by resolution heretofore adopted had authorized Mr. Crooks and Mr. Holmes to sign various reports, forms and documents for the State Division of the Budget, and that it appeared highly desirabl for others to be likewise authorized in order that there might be no interruption in the Administrative functions of the University. After a discussion thereof, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the following resolution was adopted: BE IT RESOLVED, that in addition to the signatures of L. Daniel Crooks, Vice President, Business and Finance of the Health Sciences Division, and Raymond T. Holmes, Jr., Comptroller of the General Academic Division, that the following be, and they hereby are, authorized to sign on behalf of the University reports, forms and other documents for the Governor's office and the State Division of the Budget: R. Blackwell Smith, Jr., Provost - Health Sciences; John H. Heil, Jr., Vice Provost - Health Sciences; T. R. Stennett, Jr., Comptroller-Treasurer-Health Sciences; Francis J. Brooke, Acting Provost - General Academic and Vice President of Academic Affairs - General Academic, and E.V. Woodall, Burser - General Academic. At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Wygal then presented his Report with respect to plans for cooperative action between the two Divisions of the University, the Report being in memorandum form and being attached to the minutes of the meeting. Mr. Wygal also reported that the University, along with other area institutions, was cooperating with the University Center in sponsoring a televised course in the History of the Afro-Americans, which would be presented by the Central Virginia Television Corporation as the result of a grant made for this purpose by the Old Dominion Foundation. Dr. Smith also reported that some while back The Medical College of Virginia had attempted to obtain a grant from the Kellogg Foundation to support a program in Continuing Education for the Medical profession and that the grant had been refused. He indicated, however, that it appeared that a re- application might be favorably considered sometime in the future and that it would be brought to the Board at the appropriate time. The grant would amount to approximately $3,000,000. On behalf of the Development of Master Plan Committee, Mr. Hunton indicated that a proposal had been received from Cresap, McCormick and Paget with respect to a management study of the University and also from Dober, Paddock & Upton Associates for a study of the physical facilities. He continued and said that he thought that his Committee would be in a position to report to the Board of Visitors in this connection at the next meeting. The Rector then pointed out that a question had been raised with respect to the proposed demolition of the First Baptist Church building. Dr. Smith indicated that the proposed construction program which would require the demolition of the Church building had been approved by the Board of Visitors of The Medical College of Virginia sometime ago and that as the additional construction was urgently required, he was most hopeful that the previous action would not be rescinded by the Board of Virginia Commonwealth University. The Rector also stated that he had been advised that various Committees of the State Council for Higher Education had formerly had a representative from The Medical College of Virginia and also from the Richmond Professional Institute and the suggestion had been made that as these two Institutions were now combined as Virginia Commonwealth University, it would be appropriate for the new University to have one representative on each Committee. The Chairman referred the matter to Mr. Wygal for investigation and report. It was then pointed out that two fund appeals had recently been made, one by Mr. Edward C. Anderson which in- dicated that he had been authorized to do so by the Board of The Medical College of Virginia, and the other a routine re- quest forwarded by the Health Sciences Division for considera- tion of bequests. The suggestion was made that programs of this nature should be reviewed by the appropriate Administrative officials of the University in view of the establishment of the University, so that appropriate modifications might be made if necessary. The Executive Committee thereupon went into Executive Session with Messrs. Wygal, Nelson and Smith in order to con- sider a memorandum setting forth the duties and responsibili- ties of the Executive Administrator. The memorandum was re- viewed with one modification suggested by Dr. Smith being made, after which on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the same was approved with a copy thereof to be attached to the minutes of the meeting. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the same on motion duly made, seconded and unani- mously carried, adjourned.

Bank Of America Showcases Western Art
The exhibit shows 30 works on paper not seen in the public since 1964. Miler made more than 100 field sketches during the expedition, sketches that became the inspiration for at least a thousand paintings and watercolors. The six-month journey set him up for the next three decades as he received commissions for albums of watercolors and full-sized oil paintings that he produced in his studio. The works from the Bank of America Collection represent intermediary work based on his field sketches and done in preparation for the commissioned work.
"We are thrilled to share Miller's work with the general public," said Margaret C. Conrads, Samuel Sosland Senior Curator, American Art, at the Nelson-Atkins and curator of the exhibition. "Viewers will find that fact mixes with fantasy to reflect life on the frontier both as it was and as it was imagined to be."
After debuting at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art the exhibition will head to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2011.
