The California man behind an anti-Muslim film that roiled the Middle East was sentenced Wednesday to a year in prison for violating his probation stemming from a 2010 bank fraud conviction by lying about his identity.
U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder immediately sentenced Mark Basseley Youssef after he admitted to four of the eight alleged violations, including obtaining a fraudulent California driver's license. Prosecutors agreed to drop the other four allegations under an agreement with Youssef's attorneys, which also included more probation.
None of the violations had to do with the content of "Innocence of Muslims," a film that depicts Mohammad as a religious fraud, pedophile and womanizer.
However, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale argued Youseff's lies about his identity have caused harm to others, including the film's cast and crew. The movie sparked violence in the Middle East, killing dozens.
"They had no idea he was a recently released felon," Dugdale said. "Had they known that, they might have had second thoughts" about being part of the film.
Youssef's attorney Steven Seiden said his client admits to being the film's scriptwriter but had no other involvement except what he described as being a "cultural adviser."
Youssef, 55, was arrested in late September, just weeks after he went into hiding when the deadly violence erupted in the Middle East.
Enraged Muslims had demanded severe punishment for Youssef, with a Pakistani cabinet minister even offering $100,000 to anyone who kills him.
Federal authorities initially sought a two-year sentence for Youssef but settled on a one-year term after negotiating a deal with Youssef's attorneys. Prosecutors said they wouldn't pursue new charges against Yousseff — namely making false statements — and would drop the remaining four probation-violation allegations leveled against him. But Youssef was placed on four years' probation and must be truthful about his identity and his future finances.
Seiden asked that his client be placed under home confinement, but Snyder denied that request. Youssef will spend his time behind bars at a Southern California prison.
Youssef served most of his 21-month prison sentence for using more than a dozen aliases and opening about 60 bank accounts to conduct a check fraud scheme, prosecutors said.
After he was released from prison, Youssef was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.
Federal authorities have said they believe Youssef is responsible for the film, but they haven't said whether he was the person who posted it online. He also wasn't supposed to use any name other than his true legal name without the prior written approval of his probation officer.
At least three names have been associated with Youssef since the film trailer surfaced — Sam Bacile, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and Youssef. Bacile was the name attached to the YouTube account that posted the video.
"This is a defendant who has engaged in a long pattern of deception," Dugdale said. "His dishonesty goes back years."
Court documents show Youssef legally changed his name from Nakoula in 2002, though when he was tried, he identified himself as Nakoula. He wanted the name change because he believed Nakoula sounded like a girl's name, according to court documents.
After the hearing, Seiden told reporters he had a message to relay from his client.
"The one thing he wanted me to tell all of you is President Obama may have gotten Osama bin Laden, but he didn't kill the ideology," Seiden said.
Asked what that meant, Seiden said, "I didn't ask him, and I don't know."

Sacramento, CA – African American election night victories in races for the California State Assembly resulted in a net gain of one and increased the California Legislative Black Caucus to nine members.
The Caucus has never had more than nine members since its founding in 1967, and is particularly proud of the election of representatives in districts where African Americans are not in the majority.
"I want to congratulate the newly elected African American legislators for breaking new ground and increasing our strength and collective voice in the California Legislature," said Senator Curren D. Price, Jr., Chair of the Black Caucus. "The Caucus was instrumental in helping achieve these victories and we are gratified."
The newly elected African Americans to the State Assembly are:
Cheryl Brown, 47th District
Chris Holden, 41st District
Reggie Jones-Sawyer, 59th District
Shirley Weber, 79th District
"Without the commitment and tireless support of Senator Price and the California Legislative Black Caucus, these electoral victories would not have been possible," said Brown.
Weber is the first African American ever elected to a state office from San Diego County. Also, Los Angeles County elected its first ever African American female District Attorney, Jackie Lacey.
"I think these election results are particularly important because they underscore the fact that African Americans can win elections in districts that are not traditionally represented by African Americans," said Senator Price. "Good elected representation has no color and we are proud to be a part of that progress both socially and politically."

All over the country, President Obama's supporters were rejoicing: horns blasting, people jumping in the air, hugging each other and celebrating as jubilant as four years ago, chanting in unison, "Four more years." It was a hard fought victory and the president got what he deserved: four more years.
Just before he went on the stage, he e blasted a thank-you to his millions of supporters stating, "I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first. I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen. You organized yourselves block-by-block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.
"I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started. But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place. Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests. There's a lot more work to do.
"But for right now: Thank you."
This has been the costliest election in U.S. history and according to the results, the money seemed to have been well spent – the right man has been returned to the White House. At press time, the resident had 303 electoral votes, and Gov. Mitt Romney had 206. If one takes a long look into previous presidential campaigns and elections, the quality of the winner most times signals the right man for the time.
In the past, there have been major shifts between campaign rhetoric and the subsequent administration's reality. However, President Barack Obama's reality has stayed very close to his election promises, despite the adversity he has faced in his first four years. Now armed with a record of accomplishments, he can move forward and continue the work, as he explained, that he started four years ago.
Amidst a recalcitrant Congress, and a harsh, resistant environment, President Obama pushed through a massive healthcare reform bill (the Affordable Care Act), a feat that had eluded presidents since early in the 20th century, and simply said, "it was the right thing to do." Now, loosely called Obamacare, it has become his signature domestic policy achievement.
For that and numerous other less high-profiled achievements, the American electorate has given him four more years. In his concession speech, Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Romney very graciously told his supporters that he would "pray for Barack Obama's success in leading the nation. We have given our all."
In delivering his victory speech, President Obama said to the American people, "we have picked ourselves up and fought back during tough economic times, and the best is yet to come. We still have work to do."
Some of the President's accomplishments were echoed in the following statements:
"The Affordable Care Act is saving my daughter's life." Stacey, Arizona
"Obama is for the vets. He helped us wind down in Iraq, he's improved mental health policy with VA benefits." Joel, Minnesota
"Obama stuck his neck out for us, the auto industry. He wasn't going to let it just die, and I'm driving in this morning because of that, because of him." Brian, Ohio
"Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive." Vice President Joe Biden, Delaware
"Arithmetic." Former President Bill Clinton, New York
"He cares for the 100 percent." Shana, Texas
"When Obama came into office, he successfully renewed our country's place in the community of nations, making cooperation in tackling the world's challenges possible." Willis, North Carolina
"The actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid." Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, Virginia
"For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together." Bruce Springsteen, New Jersey
"He has a real plan for rescuing the economy that passes the 'math' test." Teresa, Virginia
"Having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very important."
"I am voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because I can trust them to care for the middle class and restore the American dream." Steven, Florida
"I believe in the America he wants for my grandchildren." Nancy, Michigan
"We need four more years of repair, of helping the middle class achieve a sustainable economy."
"I've watched him fight for our country, stand by the middle class, the working class, the military, the education of our children, universal health care, women, the environment, and matters of national and domestic security." Susan, Virginia
"I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above electoral politics."
Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York
Post Election Comments on the Re-election of President Barack Obama
"President Obama campaigned on a vision of strengthening America's ladder of opportunity, expanding our middle class and making the investments that will ensure America's future prosperity. Tonight, this vision won.
"I would like to congratulate President Obama on his resounding victory. I look forward to working with him in the coming days and months to keep America moving in the right direction."
"The American public has sent President Barack Obama back to the White House. With the support of an energetic base of citizen donors and enthusiastic volunteers, President Obama won a decisive victory despite unprecedented spending by special interests that ran highly negative and often divisive ads.
"The president's reelection is a statement that our strength comes from our diversity and our ability to work together for the common good. And while we maintain our individual spirit and drive to succeed we understand that America is better off when we take care of each other."
The Los Angeles Urban League congratulates President Barack Obama, the First Family, Vice President Joe Biden and his family. We also congratulate the American people for participating in and supporting the democratic process.
This is our country and our success is dependent on each other. Let's move forward over the next four years to get past the divides and ensure prosperity for each and every one of us.
God bless the United States and the office of the president.
"I congratulate President Obama on his reelection as the leader of this great country. Every political office is an expression of public trust and carries the responsibility to work for justice and the common good — not only in our own country but also in the international community. So I pray that God will grant our President the wisdom he needs to carry out his duties, along with the virtues of honesty, courage, prudence and humility that are necessary for true public service."
"As faithful citizens, the Catholic community here in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the country stands ready to work with our president to fulfill the promise of America's founders."
"The importance of this election was far greater than casting a ballot for one candidate over another—as important as that exercise in democracy is. The American people voted today to create opportunity and shared prosperity by sharing responsibility, and to reject the cynical 'you're on your own' philosophy. The results of this election are a declaration by the American people that to rebuild a strong and vibrant middle class and ensure a voice for all, we all have to be in this together. Americans voted for a vision for our nation that says government has an essential role that includes protecting our families in times of crisis, investing in public schools as a foundation of our democracy, guaranteeing access to affordable healthcare, and ensuring retirement with dignity after a lifetime of hard work.
"On behalf of the 1.5 million teachers, healthcare workers, paraprofessionals and school-related personnel, higher education faculty and staff, and public employees of the American Federation of Teachers, I congratulate President Obama and Vice President Biden on their re-election."
"The American people have spoken, and have given President Obama four more years! With a clear voice, Americans rejected Romney's failed policies that put our country in dire straights, and said yes to the balanced leadership that has guided us out of that mess.
"As Co-Chair of the president's reelection campaign, it has been an honor to speak to people all across this country about the important choices we all faced in the voting booth this year. And all across the country, people saw the stakes and made the right choice for the middle class, our children and this nation's future. I congratulate President Obama on his reelection, and look forward to working with him to help move our country forward."

By Assemblymember Mike Davis
Anyone who tells you that the Three Strikes law in California should be credited for reducing or controlling violent crime is mistaken.
In fact, studies show that there is no correlation between Three Strike imprisonments and a drop in crime rates or recidivism. Counties that are inflexible about implementing the Three Strikes law saw an increase in violent crimes as compared to counties that have not been so strict.
Furthermore, national crime trends show states without the Three Strikes law have exhibited a drop in crime since the early 1990s.
So why not reform the Three Strikes law?
Mike Reynolds, the author of the Three Strikes law that passed in 1994, says that passing Prop. 36 would weaken it.
Not true. Prop. 36 is a modest reform to our current Three Strikes law. The law will continue to empower prosecutors to put violent repeat offenders in prison for life and sentence nonviolent offenders twice the ordinary prison term.
More importantly, as it was originally intended, crimes such as rape, murder and child molestation will not receive any benefit from the passage of Prop. 36. And, no prisoner will be released without resentencing in front of the judge.
Prop. 36 will make sure that the punishment fits the crime, so that precious financial resources are used effectively to impose life sentences for violent criminals. At this very moment, dangerous criminals are being released early from prison because jails are clogged up with non-violent offenders. We have to make more room in our prisons for violent criminals.
Prop. 36 was drafted by professors at Stanford Law School in conjunction with law leaders in California and lawyers at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. It is based on policy that was implemented by Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley. Other law enforcement leaders, professors, civil rights leaders and taxpayer advocates are supporting the proposition because the law today is costly, ineffective and unfair.
And as Assemblymember, I work hard to find ways to reduce our state budget deficit each year. It makes perfect sense to reform the law so that California saves upwards of $100 million dollars every year by making this modest reform.
Furthermore, three strikes reform in California will put our state in concert with the 22 other states in the country that have three strikes policies which require a violent and serious offense for every offense including the third strike. This is a just and fair policy.
So Vote Yes on Prop 36 because it is smart, fair and just.

Yey! Glad to see (hear?) Seb again. I like this podcast; is it any way I can subscribe for this feature on GameSpot? Please forgive my low knowledge of these sort of things.
I wish you would explain the basics of the game(Ni No Kuni). It sounds like a Pokemon-clone. If I lived in London, I would want to work at/for GameSpot.Uk :) They should have contests (gaming contests) between GameSpot(Us) and GameSpot.Uk.

i agree. ATI drivers ruin any decent hardware, had a massive problem with the 5970 i bought 2 years ago, RMAd it back and nabbed the just released 580, never looked back and get better performance even tho the ATI card was a dual GPU card, the drivers were so poor it nerfed the performance a lot.

Saturday Crapshoot: Revolution X
Every week, Richard Cobbett rolls the dice to bring you an obscure slice of gaming history, from lost gems to weapons grade atrocities. This week, are you ready to rock? I SAID, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK? Well, too bad, because music just got declared illegal. You disgusting degenerate scum.
Revolution X likes to declare "MUSIC IS THE WEAPON." I suppose it's a snappier tagline than the original, "A MACHINEGUN WITH INFINITE AMMO IS THE WEAPON", or the even more honest "ABANDON ALL SANITY ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE." In the arcades, this was one of the louder rail shooters - in the home, still one of the more surreal. It's also definitely a case where buying the damn game was definitely cheaper than trying to win it with a pocket full of change - especially as having at least one friend helping out is almost essential when things get tough later on.
Oh, and it has some guys with long hair in it. I think they played bebop in the 80s or something.

LAMP technologies traditionally include Linux, Apache, MySQL, and, by happy coincidence, one of three "P" languages: PHP, Python or Perl. Of course, this is changing a bit. Many folks have long preferred PostgreSQL over MySQL because prior to MySQL 4.1 (or 5, depending upon your point of view), MySQL was pretty much a sophisticated toy, but LAPP probably doesn't sound as cool. Others prefer Ruby to Python, PHP and Perl, but prior to Rails, many folks assumed that switching to Ruby wouldn't be a good career move.
But the question that some folks wonder about is whether or not Perl6 will take its place along the "P" languages. The loudest objection I hear today are that Perl6 is taking too long and that it's too complicated. Well, as anyone who's programmed C++ can tell you, complexity is not a guaranteed barrier to language adoption. However, while Perl6 is very feature-rich, the common usage of the language is easier to learn than Perl5. As for "taking too long", were I a betting man, I'd be willing to bet that we'll have an alpha in 2007, and probably in the first half rather than the second. Given that I've been paying attention to Perl6's development and I know some of the designers and implementors, I feel very comfortable with this prediction. But if Perl6 really is everything the designers hope it will be, why should we bother? Admittedly, I love Perl and its quirks, but I readily concede that those quirks are something of a liability. Not so with Perl6.
What changes will most notice? The dot operator is the biggest change that many will notice:
my $customer = Customer.new; # instead of Customer->new say $customer.name; # instead of Customer->name
Many Perl programmers are unhappy with this change, but let's face it: the dot operator is the common choice here and that's because it's a good choice. Proper Huffman encoding dictates that common things should be shorter and in this case, it's readily understood by most programmers.
Another big change fixes one of the greatest sources of bugs in Perl5 programs: proper argument lists. Instead of passing everything in the @_ array ("at underscore"? What's that?), you can do this:
sub foo ($bar, $baz) { ... }
That's going to save a lot of headaches. Of course, there's a named argument version:
sub foo ( bar => $bar, baz => $baz ) { ... }
Now many programmers looking at those things might think those amount to little more than bug fixes, but there's more! Java and C++ programmers sometimes shake their heads in dismay at "dynamically" typed languages. Well, fine. If you want strong typing, you can have it. We'll even give you multisub and multimethod dispatch. And guess what? You're also get macros! Real, honest to goodness macros like LISP programmers enjoy, not the broken string substitution thingies which C programmers use. Oh, and you'll get try/catch blocks, too.
Of course, since we'll be using the dot operator in OO programming, this begs the question "what's an object"? Ruby and Smalltalk managed to get this right when they decided that everything should be an object (edit: and that's how it is in Perl6). Even constants are objects. Something as simply as 7.say will print "7″. Raw lists are even objects:
say ( 1, 2, 4 ).sum; # prints "7" say <1 2 4>.sum; # same thing ( 1, 2, 4 ).sum.say; # this works too
Anyone who's been programming Java before autoboxing was introduced knows the frustration of working with primitives sprinkled in an OO language (regrettably, the Perl5 autoboxing patch worked wonderfully, but was rejected). Anyone who's worked with Ruby and Smalltalk long enough knows the joy of the "everything is an object" approach.
Junctions are one feature of Perl6 which I'm sure is going to be snatched up by other languages. Want to know if there are any intersections between two lists?
if any(@first_list) == any(@second_list) { ... }
Or just check to see what a person's title is:
if $title ne any <manager programmer accountant> { ... }
Traits are another big feature which are slowly gaining traction, but Perl6 will be the first mainstream language to have them included in the core. The simplest way to think of them is like Ruby's mixins, but method conflicts are usually compile-time failures and have to be explicitly resolved. No more ordering problems!
There's a heck of a lot more, but those are the major features I'm looking forward to right now. Perl6, which after years of development is probably going to be out within a year or so, not only fixes many Perl5 issues, adds many features that other languages offer and has brand-new features that will just make programmer's lives more easy. On top of that, from what I've seen with the language, it's even easier to learn than Perl5! It's definitely going to be a powerful addition to the LAMP toolkit.
Disclaimer: despite being on the Perl Foundation Steering Committee, my Perl6 predictions are strictly my own and not an official statement of TPF or anyone else.

West said her son was walking well on his own and eight of his teeth had come in. But she also mourned the milestones that will never come, like Antonio's first day at school.
"I'm always going to wonder what his first word would be," West said.
Beverly Anderson, whose husband owns the property where West has lived for several years, said she was stunned by the violence in what's generally known as a safe neighborhood where children walk to school and families are frequently outdoors.
Jonathan Mayes and his wife were out walking their dogs Friday, right past the crime scene, and said they've never felt nervous about being out after dark.
"What is so mind-numbing about this is we don't have this kind of stuff happen here," Mayes said.
It's not the mother's first loss of a child to violence. West said her 18-year-old son, Shaun Glassey, was killed in New Jersey in 2008. She still has a newspaper clipping from the time.
Glassey was killed with a steak knife in March 2008 during an attack involving several other teens on a dark street corner in Gloucester County, N.J., according to news reports from the time.
"He and some other boys were going to ambush a kid," Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the Gloucester County prosecutor's office, told the AP Friday.
Glassey was armed with a knife, but the 17-year-old target of the attack was able to get the knife away from him "and Glassey ended up on the wrong end of the knife," Weisenfeld recalled.
Prosecutors decided the 17-year-old would not be charged because they determined that he acted in self-defense.
Sabrina Elkins, the sister of the older suspect in the Georgia baby's slaying, said Friday evening that she believed her brother was innocent of the charges. She didn't know whether he had a lawyer.
"He couldn't have done that to a little baby," she told AP. "My brother has a good heart."
She said that her brother had been living in Atlanta, and only returned to Brunswick a few months ago. Typically, he would come by her house in the morning and they'd go to breakfast. But Friday morning, police came to her door as her brother was approaching along the sidewalk.
"The police came pointing a Taser at him, telling him to get on the ground," she recalled by phone. "He said, 'What are you getting me for? Can you tell me what I did?'"

Frederica of Hanover (Frederica Louisa Thyra Victoria Margareta Sophie Olga Cécilie Isabelle Christa; Greek: Φρειδερίκη; 18 April 1917 – 6 February 1981) was Queen consort of the Hellenes as the wife of King Paul of Greece.
Early life[edit]
Frederica was born on 18 April 1917 in Blankenburg am Harz, Duchy of Brunswick, German Empire. She was the daughter of Ernest Augustus III, Duke of Brunswick and Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, the only daughter of German Emperor William II and Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein. As daughter of a Hanoverian Prince, she was Princess Frederica of Hanover, Great Britain and Ireland, and also Duchess Frederica of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
Through her maternal grandfather, Frederica was a great-granddaughter of German Emperor Frederick III and Victoria, Princess Royal, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Through this relationship, Frederica was a distant cousin of the United Kingdom's Elizabeth II and also of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. As a descendant of George III of the United Kingdom, she was, at birth, 34th in the line of succession to the British throne, although following the Titles Deprivation Act passed soon after her birth she had no British rank or title.
Prince Paul, Crown Prince of Greece proposed to her during the summer of 1936, while he was in Berlin attending the 1936 Summer Olympics. Prince Paul was the son of King Constantine I of Greece and Sophie of Prussia, sister of Wilhelm II of Germany (through whom he was a great-grandson of Queen Victoria and a first cousin once removed to Frederica). Their engagement was announced officially on 28 September 1937. They married in Athens on 9 January 1938. In addition to her standard title of Princess, Frederica used the title Hereditary Princess (Greek: Πριγκήπισσα Διαδόχου, Prinkēpissa Diadókhou, literally "Princess of the Heir"), her husband being heir presumptive to his childless elder brother, King George II of the Hellenes.
During the early part of their marriage, they resided at Villa Psychiko in the suburbs of Athens. Ten months after their marriage, their first child, Princess Sophia (the future Queen Sofia of Spain), was born on 2 November 1938. On 2 June 1940, their son and heir, Crown Prince Constantine (the future King Constantine II), was born.
War and exile[edit]
At the peak of World War II, in April, 1941 the Greek Royal Family evacuated to Crete in a Sunderland flying boat. Shortly afterwards, the German forces attacked Crete. Frederica and her family were evacuated again, setting up a government-in-exile office in London.
In exile, King George II and the rest of the Greek Royal Family settled in South Africa. Here Frederica's last child, Princess Irene, was born on 11 May 1942. The South African leader, General Jan Smuts, served as her godfather. The family eventually settled in Egypt in February 1944.
On 1 September 1946 the Greek people decided by referendum to restore King George to the throne. The Hereditary Prince and Princess returned to their villa in Psychiko.
On 1 April 1947, George II died and Frederica's husband ascended the throne as Paul I, with Frederica as his queen consort. Communist political instability in Northern Greece led to the Greek Civil War. The King and Queen toured Northern Greece under severe security to try to appeal for loyalty in the summer of 1947.
During the civil war, Queen Frederica set the Queen's Camps or Child-cities (translation of: Παιδο(υ)πόλεις / Paidopoleis or Paidupoleis) a network of 53 Camps around Greece where she would gather mostly orphans and children of poor families. These camps provided much needed shelter, food, and education to these children who were aged 3 years to adolescence.[citation needed]
The role of these Queen's Camps is disputed as a means of propaganda by the monarchy through the educational program.[citation needed] The Queen's Camps were a way to care for the children - victims of the civil war. There were allegations, generally by opposition or communist sources, which held that children were illegally adopted by American families while they were in the Paidopoleis.[citation needed]
The Greek Civil War ended in August, 1949. The Sovereigns took this opportunity to strengthen the monarchy, they paid official visits to Marshal Josip Broz Tito in Belgrade, Presidents Luigi Einaudi of Italy in Rome, Theodor Heuss of West Germany, and Bechara El Khoury of Lebanon, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari of India, King George VI of the United Kingdom, and the United States as guest of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. However, at home in Greece and abroad in the United Kingdom, Queen Frederica was targeted by the opposition, because as a girl she had belonged to the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls), a branch of the Hitler Youth group for young women; her supporters argued that evading membership in the group would be difficult under the existing political climate in Nazi Germany at the time.
Her 16 November 1953 appearance in Life as America's guest was taken on one of the many state visits she paid around the world. Also that year she appeared on the cover of Time. On 14 May 1962 her eldest daughter Sofia married Prince Juan Carlos of Spain, (later King Juan Carlos I of Spain) in Athens.
Frederika has been described as "inherently undemocratic".[1][2] She was notorious for her numerous arbitrary and unconstitutional interventions in Greek politics[3] and clashes with democratically elected governments. She actively politicked against the election of Alexander Papagos.[4] At home in Greece and abroad in the United Kingdom, she was targeted by the opposition. In 1963 while visiting London rioting forced her to temporarily seek refuge in a stranger's house. Her interference in politics was harshly criticized and possibly the most significant factor in the strengthening of republican sentiments.[citation needed]
Queen Dowager[edit]
On 6 March 1964, King Paul died of cancer, and she continued to serve in the role of Queen. When her son Constantine II married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark later that year on 18 September, Queen Frederica stepped back from the majority of her public Royal duties in favor of the new Queen. She remained a figure of controversy and was accused in the press of being the éminence grise behind the throne.[citation needed] In response she renounced her apanage and retired to the countryside where she lived an almost reclusive life. However, she continued to attend Royal events that were family-oriented, such as the baptisms of her grandchildren in both Spain and Greece.
King Constantine's clashes with the democratically elected Prime Minister George Papandreou Sr. were blamed by critics for causing the destabilisation that led to a military coup on 21 April 1967 and the rise of the regime of the colonels.[citation needed] Faced with a difficult situation, King Constantine initially collaborated with the military dictatorship,[citation needed] swearing in their government under a royalist prime minister. Later that year he attempted a counter-coup in an attempt to restore democracy, whose failure forced him into exile. Following this, the junta appointed a Regent to carry out the tasks of the exiled Monarch.
On 1 June 1973 the junta abolished the Greek Monarchy without the consent of the Greek people and then attempted to legitimize its actions through a 1973 plebiscite that was widely suspected of being rigged. The new head-of-state became President of Greece George Papadopoulos.
The dictatorship ended on 24 July 1974 and the pre-junta constitutional monarchy was never restored. A plebiscite was held in which King Constantine (who was able to campaign only from outside the country) freely admitted his past errors, promised to support democracy, and in particular, promised to keep his mother Queen Frederica away from Greece and out of Greek politics. 70% of Greeks voted to make Greece a democratic republic.
Queen Frederica died on 6 February 1981 in exile in Madrid during ophthalmic surgery. In its obituary of the Queen, The New York Times reported that she died during "eyelid surgery,"[citation needed] which led to frequent but unsubstantiated rumours that she died while undergoing cosmetic surgery.[citation needed] Other sources state that her cause of death was a heart attack while undergoing the removal of cataracts.
She was interred at Tatoi (the Royal family's palace and burial ground in Greece). Her son and his family were allowed to attend the service but had to leave immediately afterwards.

Homeowners in the area were allowed to open windows and doors by about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. The fire started about 5:30 a.m. at McAsphalt Industries. Throughout the day thick black clouds of smoke billowed from the scene and could be seen as far away as Orono. Businesses were closed and homeowners were advised to keep windows and doors closed. There were fears the smoke was toxic, but officials said the Ministry of Environment conducted tests throughout the day and that wasn't the case.

Coherency Identification of Generators Using a PAM Algorithm for Dynamic Reduction of Power Systems

Abstract: This paper presents a new coherency identification method for dynamic reduction of a power system. To achieve dynamic reduction, coherency-based equivalence techniques divide generators into groups according to coherency, and then aggregate them. In order to minimize the changes in the dynamic response of the reduced equivalent system, coherency identification of the generators should be clearly defined. The objective of the proposed coherency identification method is to determine the optimal coherent groups of generators with respect to the dynamic response, using the Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) algorithm. For this purpose, the coherency between generators is first evaluated from the dynamic simulation time response, and in the proposed method this result is then used to define a dissimilarity index. Based on the PAM algorithm, the coherent generator groups are then determined so that the sum of the index in each group is minimized. This approach ensures that the dynamic characteristics of the original system are preserved, by providing the optimized coherency identification. To validate the effectiveness of the technique, simulated cases with an IEEE 39-bus test system are evaluated using PSS/E. The proposed method is compared with an existing coherency identification method, which uses the K-means algorithm, and is found to provide a better estimate of the original system.

We have a lisp routine that places a vertical line in front of text and mtext. I want to start using the multi-leader command instead of a customized leader. Can anyone take a look at our routine and offer suggestions on modifying it so it can work with multi-leaders? The lsp file is attached.
(COMMAND "MLEADER".... or whatever you want to use in place of "line"
Should anything be done to the line near the beginning that is listed below? Should anything about multi-leader be put in there?
(SETQ ITEMS (SSGET '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")))); revised to only get text
Maybe I didn't make myself clear with my first question. If I make the change that you suggested, it'll draw a multileader in front of the text and not a line. I still want a line in front of text, but I want to be able to select multi-leader text as well as text and mtext.

Dave Barry's Mix of Over the Top Humor, Seriousness Reflects 'Insanity' of Miami
Watch Video | Listen to the Audio
JEFFREY BROWN: And finally tonight, switching the tone just a bit for a conversation with humorist Dave Barry.
Barry is well-known for his long-running newspaper column about all things wacky and wonderful in Miami. And Miami is the setting for his new novel, which includes a bachelor party run amuck, a wedding that's interrupted by the arrival of a boat of Haitian refugees, a large python snake, some Russian gangsters and, well, a lot more. The book is titled "Insane City."
Dave Barry joined me in our studio last week. Here's our conversation.
David Barry, welcome.
DAVE BARRY, Author: Thank you.
JEFFREY BROWN: "Insane City," that would, of course, be Miami.
DAVE BARRY: That's my town.
JEFFREY BROWN: Once again giving you a cool all kinds of material.
DAVE BARRY: Why else do we have Miami, if not to give me material?
No, I moved there in 1986 from the United States.
And I have never lived in a more target-rich environment for a humorist.
JEFFREY BROWN: What is it about Miami that keeps giving?
DAVE BARRY: People -- I mean, first of all, the people are weird. People come from everywhere. People -- just weird people are attracted to Miami. And they come there not for serious reasons, usually.
They come there to be criminals. That would be our elected officials for the most part. They come there to party. And then the wildlife is weird. The weather is weird. It's just this festering stew of weirdness.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, amid the weirdness, though, part of the fun mayhem here, then you bring in this raft of Haitian refugees arriving in the midst of a lavish wedding, right? Now, that part, at least migration is not funny, in and of itself.
DAVE BARRY: No. No.
The goal there was, I wanted to give the hero of the book, a guy named Seth, who is kind of a slacker who is getting married, something that he had to be responsible for. He's been a guy who sort of drifted through life. And he accidentally, on the night of his bachelor party, gets very, well, wasted -- and that's normal -- but then, without intending to, ends up rescuing a Haitian woman who washes ashore with her two children in a place where Haitians regularly do come ashore in Miami, and is then suddenly responsible for them.
And he has -- on the weekend of his what is supposed to be perfect wedding has Haitians living in his bachelor suite, which is not ideal.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, but as a writer then, you -- the tone -- you have to balance that tone, right, of sort of over-the-top humor and, well, Haitian refugees.
DAVE BARRY: Yes. And I tried very hard to treat them very seriously. It is a life-and-death problem that they are dealing with.
But, at the same time, the machinations of the groom and his groomsmen and the bride trying to get the wedding to go ahead the way it is supposed to around that is meant to be funny.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, part of -- it seems like you are always -- you're taking normal things and pushing them.
DAVE BARRY: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: So, is that the M.O. here? Where does it start? Does it start with the normal thing and then you sort of imagine, oh, I wonder how far I -- what I can do with it?
DAVE BARRY: Yes.
Like, one of the other problems that the groom has to deal with is he's -- he loses the wedding ring. He has been entrusted with the wedding -- really nothing but the wedding ring, this valuable heirloom wedding ring. He loses it. And I thought, well, what would be a really good way to lose it? And I decided that he would lose it to an orangutan. So there's an orangutan named Trevor.
JEFFREY BROWN: Wait a minute.
DAVE BARRY: Yes.
Well, this happens all the time. Never -- this is why are you not supposed to have an orangutan at a wedding. You know that. Right?
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes. And I'm not supposed to ask why losing a ring -- it would be a nice way to lose it to an orangutan.
DAVE BARRY: Well, it's just because it is a little bit, as you say, pushing, pushing the envelope.
And what is funny is that I meant for Trevor to be like a minor character, just he was going to be the mechanism by which the ring gets lost. But I liked him a lot. And he really -- he kind of took on a life of his own, and he became, in fact, a romantic character in this novel.
JEFFREY BROWN: And then the other thing is the mundane craziness, and I think -- I guess I'm imagining this is your reporter's eye. I did an experiment this afternoon.
I just opened the book randomly. I was on page 244. But one of the characters is trying to buy something at a drugstore.
DAVE BARRY: Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: This is something we all go through.
DAVE BARRY: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: And then he said -- but you write, "She was the" -- he is behind one customer -- "She was the nightmare customer to be stuck behind, a woman with coupons."
And then you kind of riff on that.
DAVE BARRY: Yes. This is a guy who is a gangster, basically, who needs to get some diapers for the Haitian -- it's complicated, but he needs to get some diapers for the Haitian mother's kids. And he gets stuck behind this woman.
JEFFREY BROWN: That is complicated.
DAVE BARRY: And we have all been stuck behind that woman with, you know -- and she has a coupon, but it is not for the right thing. Well, what is the right thing? That is a cent off -- you know, that -- so I wrote a long scene where this poor man with a gun is stuck behind this woman.
JEFFREY BROWN: Tell me about -- of course, you wrote this column for a long time -- the biggest difference between turning that out and then this kind of -- this kind of work.
DAVE BARRY: Well, when I'm writing columns, it's -- all I'm thinking about is jokes, joke, joke, joke, setup, punch line, joke, joke, joke. And I really don't care where it goes.
I don't have a point the make. I have never had a point in my life to make. I'm just trying to entertain the reader. So I'm happy to start on one topic and end on another one entirely, as long as it's funny.
With a novel, you have to have a story. It's much more important to have it matter to the reader what happens to people, and it has to make sense and end in a way that is satisfying. So I spend a lot more time thinking about that. Then the writing itself usually is easier for me, because I know where it's going.
JEFFREY BROWN: But those columns won you a Pulitzer for commentary.
And you are saying joke, joke, joke, you had no point to make?
DAVE BARRY: Sometimes, it gets really -- I became, after I won the Pulitzer Prize, a juror. And it can be a long day reading Pulitzer Prize entries. So I think maybe they were just happy to have something that wasn't serious.
JEFFREY BROWN: No, but you -- but you also -- you would go to scenes, right? You were reporting the city in a sense in a joking way.
DAVE BARRY: Yes, I mean, I ...
DAVE BARRY: Yes, yes. If you are trying to give me a compliment here, by gosh, I'm going to take it.
JEFFREY BROWN: OK. Take it and run with it.
I mean, no, but did you see yourself sort of -- and in this too, it's kind of reporting a city. Am I taking this too far?
DAVE BARRY: No, no, you are absolutely right.
And I do try to raise certain issues. They're not like major abstract policy issues, but, you know, dealing with the issue in this case of why is it OK for Haitian -- for Cuban immigrants to come to Miami and just walk ashore and they're allowed to stay, and Haitian immigrants are not?
And that suddenly becomes important to this guy who never even thought about immigration. So I guess I'm raising that issue.
JEFFREY BROWN: Do you have a favorite literary humorist of the past that you look to, either as columnist or novelist?
DAVE BARRY: My favorite novelist of all time is P.G. Wodehouse.
JEFFREY BROWN: Wodehouse.
DAVE BARRY: And when I write a book, that is the guy I'm thinking of, like many different characters with many different motives banging off each other in someplace, like Blandings Castle, with no idea what the other ones are up to, and somehow some resolution at the end. I love that kind of plotting.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what is to come? More Miami keeps giving? What?
DAVE BARRY: Yes, Miami, you can never run out of material. As long as you have Miami around you, you will never, never stop being amused.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Well, this one is "Insane City."
Dave Barry, nice to talk to you.
DAVE BARRY: Same here. Thank you.
JEFFREY BROWN: And, online, you can watch more of Dave Barry as he reads an excerpt from his new novel.

It's a busy street in Longview that's used as a cut through between Gilmer Road and Pine Tree Road. Residents who live there say it is a street of speed. We're talking about Cheryl Street. It's 30 miles an hour along that stretch of road, but residents who live there say drivers rarely go the speed limit.
"It's pretty bad and it gets worse especially in the summer when the kids are out of school because this is a major cut through between 2 of the major roads. It's heavy traffic and at times really fast," says Claudia Miracle.
We found several cars speeding between 35 and 39 miles per hour, but many were going well above the speed limit at 40 and above. We clocked one truck at 42 miles an hour. He was going so fast, the driver had to quickly slow down so he wouldn't hit the car in front of him. Claudia says that happens a lot. "Most of the accidents we've seen have taken out several of the mail boxes on this road. We've seen some wrecks here that actually flipped the car," says Claudia.
Claudia says speeders make it more difficult for her family to back out of their own driveway. "If we're backing out it's really hard because they do come up really fast especially if they come up from over a hill and you can't see them," says Claudia.
On this day, the average speed along Cheryl Street was 39 miles an hour.

Body found near Troutville
Sheriff Ronald N. Sprinkle has released information that a decomposing body was found in a ravine near Moose's Hollow Road, north of Troutville on Friday afternoon Sept. 30. There are no other details at this time.
An autopsy will be performed by the Western Virginia Medical Examiner's Office to determine the identity of the remains. The investigation continues. "At this time we cannot confirm the name of a victim," said Sprinkle who is awaiting notice from the Medical Examiner.
–Press Release submitted by Botetourt County Sheriff's Office
