He's not a guy for small talk.
He is serious and focused, a well-educated civil engineer who, in the midst of a successful career, felt called to ministry. When we met, there was no polite chitchat. His first question was, "How is your ministry going?" His second question was, "What percentage of your congregation actually tithes?"
As I recall, I mumbled a nonanswer. First, I was shocked to be asked that question – especially this early in our relationship. In the second place, I don't actually know the answer to that question.
That introduction let me know that this relationship with the pastor of the congregation in Baghdad was going to be different than any collegial relationship I've ever known. Assis (it's the term that means "pastor" and is used as a form of address for the pastors in the Iraqi congregations, even amongst themselves) waited a long time to be pastor of this congregation, and now he's not going to waste any of it. He was in the midst of moving into ministry from engineering and was taking a training course in Australia when the Gulf War broke out. Embassies and consulates were closed, and he spent the next 23 years trying to get back to Iraq.
Assis could easily have stayed in Australia as his daughter did; she lived her whole life there. But he said, "My body was in Australia, but my heart was in Iraq." Many Christians – probably most Christians – have emigrated from Iraq to safety, but he moved back. He felt called to ministry among his people; and after waiting for 23 years, he's not going to waste time.
And so he asked questions about my congregation, and about congregations in the U.S. and this area. He described Australian Christians as spoiled and lazy, and my guess is that he feels the same way about us but is too polite to say it. We might have to assess for ourselves whether or not he's accurate.
For Iraqi Christians, going to a worship service means trying to figure out the safest route through the city that day. Where is trouble anticipated? Any bomb threats? Any streets or parks to avoid? And after you plan your route, you must make accommodations for the time it will take you to get through the checkpoints. There is not a church on every corner, where you can pick and choose. For folks of our denomination, there's one church in the city of 10 million people. And so people drive a long way to church, and even then, a 40-minute drive can turn into a three-hour one by the time you wait and go through checkpoints.
So how do I explain that in many U.S. congregations, worship attendance is affected by professional sporting events, children's sporting events, the weather (if it's a nice day, there are many things clamoring for attention; but if the weather is bad, we don't like to go out), and so on? And as much as we like to think that we have things competing for our attention and they must just look forward to going to church for a social event, that's simply not the case. Iraqis have as many things competing for their time as we do, as well as many options for social gatherings.
They simply choose to go to church because that's a priority. And it's a priority for which many have given their lives. They simply cannot comprehend our worship attendance patterns.
In the U.S., there are many more people who claim to be members of churches than there are people who are actually members of churches, much less attend worship. I call it "that's my church that I don't go to" syndrome. That syndrome doesn't exist in Iraq.
Likewise, the question about tithing. Iraqis have as many options and pressures in terms of their income as any American does. Yet for Iraqi Christians, tithing (giving 10 percent of your income to the church) is the norm. In the U.S., it's the rare exception. Assis told me about a family who had just decided to follow the way of Christ, and came in and gave a check for 10 percent of their income to him. That family understood that their sacrifice to the church was a symbol and sign of their commitment. Assis was shocked at my guesstimate about the percentage of tithers in my congregation and in the U.S.
He simply cannot understand the low level of commitment among American Christians, much as he experienced with Australian Christians.
And so my congregation and this Baghdad church enter into a partnership. It will certainly not be a one-way partnership, with U.S. having any sort of superiority over the Iraqi congregation. If anything, possibly it maybe the opposite … that it is we who have so much to learn about making a commitment to our faith.
The Rev. Dr. Joanne Sizoo is pastor at Grace Presbyterian Church in Fort Mill, near the intersection of Highway 160 and Gold Hill Road. Contact her at email@example.com.

Wins For the Little Guys in United States Supreme Court, Eleventh Circuit, and Florida Supreme Court
The stars must be aligned just right, because for the first time in a long time, the US Supreme Court, Eleventh Circuit, and Florida Supreme Court all recently issued opinions favorable to criminal defendants. It's like a hat trick for criminal defense and criminal appeals lawyers!
In Millbroook v. United States, 11-10362, Millbrook, a federal prisoner in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, filed an action against the United States after he was sexually assaulted and verbally threatened while in custody. Although the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the United States, and the Third Circuit affirmed, the United States Supreme Court reversed, and held that Millbrook's lawsuit was not barred by the "law enforcement proviso" of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). In so holding, the Court relied on the plain text of the section and determined that Congress intended immunity determinations to be based on a federal officer's legal authority, not on a particular exercise of that authority. See Millbrook, 11-20362, slip op., pg. 6. Based on the plain text of the statute, the Court rejected the Government's argument that an officer's intentional tort must occur in the course of executing a search seizing evidence, or making an arrest in order to expose the Government to liability. See id.
In United States v. Hinds, No. 11-16048, Hinds was convicted of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base (crack cocaine). On direct appeal, the Eleventh Circuit agreed with Hinds that his sentence should be vacated because the amount attributed to him was too speculative. On remand, the District Court failed to give Hinds the benefit of the Fair Sentencing Act (FSA), so Hinds appealed, and won again. In holding that Hinds should have been given the benefit of the FSA, the Court noted, in footnote 2, that the Government conceded that Hinds should have been given the benefit of the FSA when he appeared on remand. Too bad Hinds had to appeal twice to get the benefit of the FSA.
Finally, in State v. Larry Phillips, No SC11-411, the Florida Supreme Court found that Phillips, who had been committed under the Jimmy Ryce Act, was eligible for immediate release because the State waited to file its commitment petition after Phillips' criminal sentence had expired.

PLATTSBURGH — Curious crowds gathered when members of the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir broke into song Saturday afternoon at Champlain Centre.
Choir members carefully assembled in a surprise "flash mob" at about 2 p.m. and quickly filled the Food Court with music, bringing smiles to the faces of unsuspecting mall patrons.
Shoppers of all ages watched intently as one choir member began a solo that was quickly joined by 40 other members of the gospel group.
"It scared me at first," said Thomas Crouse, 13, of Tupper Lake. "But then I realized it was a flash mob."
Like many other members of the crowd, Crouse decided to capture the excitement on his cellphone.
"I'm going to put it on Facebook," he said.
Crouse was enjoying lunch with Kylin Strader, 8, of Tupper Lake when they noticed choir members setting up sound equipment.
They both said they had no idea what was going to happen.
"I thought it was awesome," Strader smiled.
Debi Pettit of Plattsburgh was shopping nearby when she heard music coming from the Food Court.
"I wasn't sure what was going on, but what I heard was really beautiful," she said.
Pettit was among many shoppers who stopped what they were doing after hearing a loud chorus of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" echoing through the mall.
The group worked hard to make sure the performance was pitch perfect, said Dexter Criss, music director for the Gospel Choir.
"We had been setting up and putting stuff together for about an hour beforehand," he said. "But it took some planning."
Besides teaching organic chemistry at Plattsburgh State, Criss directs the diverse chorale group, comprising about 60 students and community members. It is a job he has been doing with great pride since 2001, he said.

Book Review: To Kill a Mockingbird
Growing up in a small Southern town, Jem and Scout Finch think they know their family and neighbors. There's Boo Radley, the neighborhood recluse, whom the children attempt to lure out of hiding. Cranky old Mrs. Dubose is secretly addicted to morphine. Their odd playmate, Dill Harris, comes to stay with his aunt next door each summer. And then there's Atticus, their father, and their hero.
At first barely penetrating their world of treehouses and elaborate reenactments of pulp novels are rumors of a black man accused of raping a white woman. In 1930s Alabama, her accusation all but proves his guilt. Yet lawyer Atticus questions the charge and defends the accused man in a town steeped in prejudice. Through the eyes of the children, as they try to understand the reactions of the townspeople and make sense of the crumbling world around them, the irrationality of racism is laid bare.Read More

MIDLAND, Texas (AP) - An event organizer says there are "multiple injuries" after a train crashed into a trailer carrying veterans during a West Texas parade. "Show of Support" president and founder Terry Johnson tells the Midland Reporter-Telegram (http://bit.ly/TPvsN4 ) that a Union Pacific train slammed into a trailer that was on its way to the wounded veterans event about 5 p.m. Thursday.

On Tuesday, July 13, 2010, a major-emergency structure fire in Los Angeles, CA, destroyed a large commercial building that manufactured and stored titanium golf clubs.
During the fire, two explosions resulted in injuries to firefighters and damage to apparatus and equipment. The involved structures were in South Los Angeles. Built in 1939, the structures are approximately 150 by 300 feet with both Type 3 and Type 5 (metal clad) construction. The first structure involved with fire consisted of brick walls and a heavy-timber bridge-truss roof; the middle section of the structure was wood-framed stucco walls with a metal sawtooth roof. The initial exposure building was a two-story wood-frame with stucco walls and a conventional flat roof. A breezeway separated these two structures and multiple other commercial building exposures.
The Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at United Alloys and Metals at 731 East Slauson Ave. at 11:43 P.M. Engine 21, Light Force 33 Task Force 14, Engine 46, ALS Rescue Ambulance (RA) 21 and BLS RA 833 responded with 30 personnel under the command of Battalion 3.
At 11:47, RA 833 was the first on scene and reported a large, one-story commercial structure with fire in the rear. One minute later, Truck 33 arrived on scene, assumed command and called for an offensive attack. At 11:52, the Battalion 3 chief arrived on scene and assumed command.
Battalion 3 requested two additional engines (Engines 57 and 66), two additional trucks (Trucks 66 and 10), Hazardous Materials Squad 4 and four additional battalion commanders (BC 13, 7, 11 and 1). By department standard operating procedure (SOP), Battalion 3 automatically received an additional rapid intervention urban search and rescue (USAR) task force (Truck 3 and Engine 3) and a division commander (DC 2).
Truck 33 initially reported heavy fire showing through the roof with heavy, black smoke from a large, primarily one-story commercial structure. Engines 21 and 14 were assigned to fire attack on the west (Division A) side of the structure. Truck 14 was assigned Roof Division with Truck 33. Battalion 3 established the command post on the southwest side of the structure and continued to press an offensive attack on the fire.
Truck 14 immediately reported conditions deteriorating on the roof due to the heavy volume of fire through the roof. Soon, Battalion 3 announced that a defensive attack would be used on the fire. Battalion 3's immediate concern was the potential spread of fire to adjacent occupancies on three sides. DC 2 assumed command at 11:56 and reassigned Battalion 3 as the Operations Section Chief.
Greater-alarm resources
On arrival of the greater-alarm resources, Battalion 3 assigned Trucks 10 and 66 to Division D, Truck 14 was reassigned to Division A and Truck 33 reassigned to Division C. Ladder pipe operations were established on the three sides of the structure accessible by street. Trucks 14, 33, 66 and 10's ladderpipes were flowing 750 gallons of water per minute. Two-and-a-half-inch hoselines were established on Divisions A and C with 1¾-inch hoselines as backup lines. On Division D, four 2½-inch lines were flowing water to help protect firefighters staffing the truck ladder pipes.
Numerous firefighters reported seeing bright-white flames with hues of green and blue; unfortunately, this information was not communicated to Battalion 3. At 12:11 A.M., BC 11 arrived on scene and was assigned Division D as the supervisor. USAR resources arrived on scene and were designated as rapid intervention and Battalion 7 was assigned as the safety officer.
As the fire progressed, the upper section of the wall on the D side of the structure collapsed. After the wall collapse, BC 11 recalled seeing white-hot metal and was about to instruct the trucks to direct their streams away from the white burning metals. Seconds later, at 12:26, about 40 minutes into the incident, a large explosion occurred and propelled burning shrapnel into the air and caused small fires north and south of the structure.

Navigating the Schools System: How It Works
Here's how Boston's byzantine school-assignment process works: The city is divided into three zones: North, East, and West. When it comes to elementary and middle schools, your options are limited to the schools in the zone where you live, plus a handful of citywide pilot and charter schools. One exception: If you're near the border of two different zones, you can request any school within a one-mile radius (one and a half miles for middle school).
The zones vary in size: the North Zone, for example, goes all the way from East Boston to Allston/Brighton to the South End. That means a lot of choices for you, but it also means that if you don't get any of your nearby favorites, your child could end up traveling by bus for an hour or so each way.
For this reason, BPS recommends doing your research (taking school tours, attending parent Q&A sessions, and using its Countdown to Kindergarten website to request at least five schools, ranked in order of preference. There's no limit to the number of picks you can make.
But what if you really have your heart set on just one or two schools? The assignment consists of the following factors, listed below in order of importance:
1. Siblings: If you already have a child in a given school, the next one to come along will have a much better chance of getting in.
2. Geography: Fifty percent of all seats are reserved for students within a one- to two-mile "walk zone" of any given school. One of the best things you can do to get your child into a school is to live near it.
3. Your order of preference: If you list a school as your top pick, that will be factored into your ultimate ranking.
4. Application date: Always apply within the earliest round that is available to you. Applying a round late is a huge factor in not getting the school you want. To find out what round you qualify for and the dates when it accepts applications, go to bostonpublicschools.org/register.
5. Randomness: This is the most angst-provoking piece of the puzzle. Once students are ranked according to priority (by the above factors), they are given a random number which determines who is in and who is out. And there's not much you can do about that.
If your child doesn't get into the school you've had your heart set on, there's always the waitlist. In fact, you may be put on up to three waitlists. Here's how it works: Let's say you live in the West Zone and list the Curley, the Lyndon, and the Kilmer in order as your top three choices. If you don't get into any of them when assignments are announced in March, you'll immediately be put on the waitlist for all three. If you get into, say, your third choice of the Kilmer, but not the Lyndon or the Curley, you'll be put on the waitlist for the first two choices. And so on.
The BPS Family Resource Center in your area can inform you of your standing on each list — whether you're third in line or number 150 for a particular school. Your waitlist ranking is determined, again, by siblings, geography, stated order of preference, application date, and a random number.
If spots become available at a school, students are automatically assigned based on their waitlist number. When classes begin in September and students have been enrolled in schools, BPS staff continues to place waitlisted students in their choice schools, but only if parents authorize the move. Once January rolls around, however, the waitlist is retired and the process starts all over again.

Recent Portsmouth Reviews
Just like it looks in the pictures, but better.
This rental is a gem - comfortable and spacious, well maintained and decorated. Owner is available, helpful and discrete. It is well located in a residential area that is very close to downtown Portsmouth via the Memorial Bridge or the other way to the Kittery Outlets. The rhythm of the river which is just outside beyond a large lawn is relaxing and entralling. This works well as a place to truly relax or as a base to explore the area. Either way, it's great to feel like a "local" for a few days.

The public has a chance to speak out about plans for a new development on Midlothian Turnpike. Up for discussion at a Tuesday Planning Commission meeting is the land across from Walmart, originally zoned for office and commercial space. Now, the developer wants more room for businesses.
One of the biggest concerns for people living near the development is concern that a change of plans would mean a big box store like a supermarket, with lots of parking spots, would be positioned right next to the berm.
"The citizens have addressed some concern about traffic, noise, light, landscaping and any potential negative impact it might have on their residential development," said Robert Clay with the Planning Department.
Clay has been in discussion with the developer about the project. The department is recommending the zoning change, but Clay says not without some restrictions that would protect nearby residents too, like a 100 foot space between the development and the homes.
"They've agreed to a berm and some landscaping," said Clay. "They've agreed to address lighting issues, hours of operation, and things of that nature."
Tuesday night, officials will hear from the public in a public hearing. Any changes would require approval from both the planning commission and the board of supervisors.

Number of ratings 46 / Average Grade: A Submit a correction
Dr. Burton was terrific. I wish more classes at CF were ran like hers. She has very strict guidelines but as long as you're polite and curtious, she will overlook everything. Wonderful women who is willing to work with you. I suggest showing up to class ontime. Thats a WHOLE letter grade. Good luck!
Offers 50 pts extra credit for attending every class, 200 pts for participation, 50 EC pts on the final, 10 EC pts chapter 10 test, 10 EC point on the final fitness test. Her class wasn't meant to be failed. The only ones who failed were those who didnt listen on the gordon rule and didnt attend class.
Easy class. I suggest going to the English tutors in bldg. 3 before turning in your Gordon rule assmt. Show up to each class and read each chapter before taking her quizes, MUST! Aside from that she is very fair in the fact that her final test is purely extra credit. Her class is fail proof. I recommend her to everyone in need of health class.
I learned a lot more in this class than other classes this semester. Tough teacher, but very manageable. She offers plenty EC. I went from 70% up until the very last day of class when she implemented EC. Now, I have a 95%. Show up to every class and get 50 points EC. Highly recommended.
Read chapters 2x, read power points, practice tests most often not same as tests. not an easy class as one may think for PE. Dont take with a heavy college load. Cant say much on instructor as it was online class. just beware and STUDY. All tests are times to about 1 minute a question and each test has 10-20 questions/ final 50 ?'s.
Good class to take with a good teacher. Dr. Burton is strict because you will learn. Whether or not your willing.
Great teacher! she overall is very nice and is willing to help you pass. This is a gordon rule class w/ a prereq. So, theres a small level of difficulty. I would have received and A if i were to have read the assessments more carefully. All-in-all, most important class you'll take all college because it focuses on your, the student's, health.
If you can avoid her, do so! She is very self-centered and doesn't seem to care for others. I received a 28 on my GR Project, I have never received a grade that low on a paper ever. She really shouldn't be teaching this class. Find a different professor.
Prof. Burton is a sweet woman. Although, she takes everything to the extreme. The Gordon Rule paper is graded WAY too difficult for a PE class. She believes she is a medical doctor and can diagnose you with a disease after learning few symptoms. Her quizzes can make or break your grade. Fair warning! I would not recommend her for this course.
Her quizzes were kind of tough..but as long as you keep up with the work, you should be okay. I proofread my essay 2x b4 i brought it to her to just make sure it was acceptable. She did so many corrections on it..she said she would've given me a D!--which is a fail for the class. I would've taken another prof if i knew. :/
I got A for the fitness test, the tests and homework. She gave me a D for the Gordon Rule paper, stating to my face "All the students that have English as a second language fail my class". I froze I could not believe she said that to me.she's an absolute Gordon Rule project military.I retook it with another professor got A. She is unfair
I took line and had to go to the college for fitness exams. Dr Burton and her essay..I think she wants you to fail because you do EVERYTHING she asks and she still finds a million things wrong with your essay. I did get an A but it was work! Tests are ok and quizzes dont count in your grade but help you for the tests. DO the extra credit it helps.
I took this class online and had to go to the physical fitness exams on campus. I got A's on all of her quizzes and excelled in the fitness area. She gave me a B on her Gordon Rule for absolutely no reason and gave me my first B+ ever. Funny how I get an A in Chemistry and Calculus in the same semester... Way too picky of a teacher for P.E.!
If you have a brain you should disregard any nice comments about this teacher. I get A's and B's and almost failed her course because I missed 2 class periods and was late to another one. She's ridiculous. Her Gordon Rule project is set up like an upper level English class's would be. I. Hate. Her. IT'S P.E., NOT UPPERGRAD ENGLISH!
I took 2 different class with her and got A's in both classes . All she asks is do your work and attend class. She is not easy but she will give you the grade you deserve.
What has been said is absolutely true. She's not bad, but she's an absolute Gordon Rule project Nazi. I got A's on everything in the class, but her GR project rubric was incomplete, therefore she marked me for stuff that wasn't even mentioned. As was said before, I wouldn't recommend this class to my worst enemy either.
Please whatever you do, don't take this instructor!!!!! I make A's and B's and I have never ever failed a class. I have been in school for the past 4 yrs and never failed!!! Don't recommond taking her, and wouldn't ever again!
Never before have I received such a pathetic grade on a project. It's gym, not English and even then, I receive A's in English. I will not retake this class with this professor. Her accrediditations do not allow her to provide you any leeway.
This class is laughable. Southpark should create a character based on Dr. Burton. She has multiple PhD's so she teaches P.E. class like it's Harvard Law. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Nothing like sitting down with a box of donuts and grading Wellness essays for fun. Some people have lives and don't have time to be professional students..
Class seems easy at first, and it is as long as you show up and participate. But for the Gordon Rule project, you better be on your knees praying for a good grade. She grades the Gordon Rule project like an English teacher, which is pretty ridiculous for a wellness class. I do not recommend this class, not even to people I hate.

PEORIA, Ill. -- You'll find Rasoi at 7815 North Knoxville in the Mount Hawley Court Shopping Center.
The warm, inviting atmosphere encourages customers to live the good life through a game of pool and of course, food.
"It's very authentic and delicious indian food," said customer Joshua Mason. "It's a buffet for lunch so you can fill up with quite a bit of food."
"It's bursting with flavor and every bite you take," said customer Tammy Roozenboom. "So many great curry's, gingers and wonderful seasonings they put in their food. Its delicious."
Rasoi means kitchen and not every Indian dish cooked fresh is spicy.
"A lot of dishes we can make it mild," said co-owner Jimmy Varkey. "The mild doesn't mean it's so bland, it still has flavor in it."
Mild is Marshanna's preference so she tried the buffet. It's a good introduction to Indian cuisine.
After asking for some help along with way, she ended up a good sampling.
For example, spiced chickpeas in a deep fried wheat flour dough, a vegetable pancake and the recommended starter, chicken tikka masala.
Her eating partner, Larry, tried pretty much the same, except he doesn't work for meat and opted for only boneless chicken.
We also enjoyed complimentary "garlic naan" or bread and the Gulab Jamum is a sweet dessert that made Marshanna lick her spoon.
Our total for two buffets and drinks came to $23.68 plus tip.

Very Easy Interview

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Epsilon in October 2011.
Interview Details I was very underwhelmed with this company's recruitment process.
1) They post the same position multiple times in the same week, except it is a different job code because the team is different. Otherwise, the description is exactly the same. So, you have to apply to each one. I received 'no thanks' auto replies to 5 of the SAME JOB on the SAME WEEK I was contacted for one of them.
2) The recruiter called to schedule a phone interview for later in the week. Then, she completely missed the appointment and I had to track HER down.
3) Because she took the time to schedule something, I was expecting a more in-depth phone interview. Instead, I got a few rookie questions: "What position did you apply for? What is your understanding of the position? Where do you want to be in 3 years?" Are you KIDDING me? You set up a time slot for a 5 minute conversation that was clearly designed to ensure I wasn't a complete idiot? Couldn't you have done that the first time we spoke?
At any rate, she said she would submit my resume, and then I never heard back. That's fine, if the reviews I read on glassdor are any indication of the company culture.

The city has been working

After searching for new

They will also allow
residents to monitor their real-time water consumption online.
"If they have a high

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.

Elgin's Arie Williams sinks a three-point shot over Streamwood's Kyle Strong on Friday. | John Konstantaras~For Sun-Times Media
There haven't been many quarters of basketball at Elgin like Maroons guard Arie Williams had in the second quarter Friday night against Streamwood.
There haven't been a lot of halves like the Maroons had to start out either, as they seized command immediately and kept pouring it on behind Williams' 20-point second quarter in a 55-44 victory over the Sabres in Upstate Eight River play at Chesbrough Field House.
"Woah ...," was Williams' reaction when told he'd scored 20 points in the second quarter, 18 of which came on 6-of-7 three-point shooting. "I guess I was in the flow, in that zone.
"(Streamwood) kept going under that screen. (Eric) Sedlac and Ryan (Sitter) kept setting that good screen. I just kept shooting the ball and it kept going in. The flow of the game kind of led me to that, but I didn't expect (20)."
Williams scored 28 for the game and Sedlack had nine points on the night. The Maroons (4-2, 1-0) came out on fire at both ends from the start, causing eight first-quarter Sabre turnovers while seven Maroons scored en route to a 19-6 lead after eight minutes.
"That's how you really want to play basketball," Williams said. "We get everybody involved and everybody is feeling good. When everybody is scoring and the ball is moving and all the points come off what we do at the defensive end — getting stops and coming down the floor."
Then Williams went berzerk, six treys and two foul shots for 20 of Elgin's 22 second-quarter points. They held Streamwood to 7-of-30 shooting from the floor in the first half and went into the locker room leading 41-17.
And then the game turned drastically, as Streamwood (3-4, 1-2) made 11-of-17 shots from the floor in the second half. The Maroons went to their "ice" delay game and kept Streamwood from getting any closer than 10, but none of the second half sat well with Maroons coach Mike Sitter.
"We came out on fire," he said. "I wish we would have kept that same intensity in the second half.
"We let kids speak their own mind in the locker room after and it was my own son (Ryan) who said with a 24-point lead we relaxed coming out in the second half, and we didn't come out with the same intensity."
Elgin scored only 14 second-half points and made just three field goals. The Maroons made 19-of-51 from the floor after going 16-of-32 in the first half.
"The thing is, they shot the ball well and we were 0-for-4 right at the beginning and did not rebound well at all," Streamwood coach Tim Jones said. "That's the disappointing part. I thought we'd be a better rebounding team tonight than we were.
"I thought the kids, to their credit, played a decent second half to get it within 10."
The teams fought to a 29-29 draw on the boards.
Jones, a former Elgin player, also got hot about some of the calls against the Sabres early and drew what he said was the first technical foul of his coaching career. This is his final season of coaching.
"It was probably one of the worst officiated games I've had," he said.
Streamwood got 13 points from post player Zack Harris and Vince Williams hit for 14. A 12-0 run late in the third quarter and starting the fourth got the Sabres within striking distance until Elgin went to its delay game.
"We haven't run that the entire year so I wanted to practice it," Sitter said, adding that the thinking from coaches for his players was, "...if you're not going to take good shots, we're not going to let you shoot."
Streamwood (3-4, 1-2)
Trevious Norman 1 1-1 3, Jacob Siewert 2 0-0 4, Joel Lightbourne 0 0-3 0, Vince Williams 6 2-5 14, Zack Harris 5 1-2 13, Kyle Strong 3 0-0 7, Ryan Dichoso 1 0-0 3. Totals 18 4-11 44.

My professional life has been full of clients devastated by trusted, internal attackers. In every case, the damage done amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one case, the victimized company incurred costs exceeding $1 million in recovery efforts. Everyone involved is bound by a nondisclosure agreement, so none of these cases has made the news, even though the service outages have been significant and widespread.
Despite multiple efforts over the last two decades, there is still no cost-effective way to stop a trusted insider from doing tremendous damage when they feel so motivated. The best you can hope for is early detection to limit the damage. Many of the preventive efforts I've been involved in have focused on tightening access controls and improving logging and alerting.
[ Recent computer espionage cases reveal seemingly countless ways to steal data. See "Countering the computer spies." | When planning computer security defenses, let your worst fears be your guide. ]
I've said it before and I'll say it again: One of the best things you can do to get early warning of internal attackers is to implement honeypots. I don't say this simply because I wrote a book on the subject. I recommend honeypots because they're low cost and low noise -- and they work!
Sweet science
Because the internal attackers you seek could be trusted IT employees, the entire project must be kept secret. It should be known only to the sponsor, management, and the implementers. Often, we give the project a boring code name like Marketing Business Development, which is used in all documents and e-mails, avoiding terms having anything to do with honeypots. Don't even tell the network security people about it, in so far as you can and still have an operational project. Then take a few computers that are destined for de-provisioning or the scrap heap and turn them into your honeypots.
Honeypots by their very nature are fake computers that nothing should ever attempt to contact. Their sole purpose in life is to note any connection attempt and report it for immediate investigation. Normally after setting up a honeypot, you'll spend a few hours (or days) filtering out all the normal, legitimate broadcast traffic, plus that of any of the other legitimate computers that normally search the network looking for systems to install software on (anti-virus servers, software install managers, and so forth).

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – An Amber Alert was called off Tuesday night after authorities located a 13-year-old boy, who had been kidnapped by his custodial father, in Cambridge.
Mass. State Police issued the alert at about 9:30 p.m. and recalled the alert about an hour later; however, the suspect remains at large. The child was taken to Mass. General Hospital.
Authorities said Jonathan Moore Sr., 37, abducted his son from a residence located at 9 Highland St. at about 7:30 p.m. Police said Moore forced his way into the home and severely injured the person inside.
According to the preliminary investigation, Moore claimed to have a handgun and threatened to use it. He then abducted his son, Jonathan, and fled in a 1997 red Toyota Camry with Mass. registration 634-RH4.
The suspect is described as a black male with black hair and brown eyes. He is 6'3" tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds.
Moore is allegedly accompanied by his girlfriend, 25-year-old Ashley Smith. Smith is described as a black female with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information regarding Moore's whereabouts is asked to call 911.

Kotaku's Boston discussion was generous, not greedy: the role of gaming sites during tragedy
I don't want to talk about yesterday's events, as I'm not in a position to offer any new thoughts on the matter. I made the decision to hold the rest of our content until the following day, because suddenly I wasn't in the mood to think about a violent TV show. A gaming site called Kotaku posted a small news piece about the events in Boston, and pointed to their own comments as a place where people could talk.
This was not greeted warmly.
Other writers I respect attacked the site, some people openly cursed at them, and others stated it was a bald attempt to use the tragedy to drum up hits. These attacks and condemnations came not only from the public, but others in the press. I'm sure the post did lead to some extra traffic for the day, but things got heated. People said nasty things. I'm not interested at naming names.
I found the situation incredibly depressing.
Here's the thing…
Regardless of what your feelings are about particular sites, we don't just visit these places on a daily basis; we invite these writers and their content into our homes. We have a relationship with our favorite sites, and the writers we respect.
I know many of you by forum name, and I know many things about you based on our interactions via e-mail, Twitter, and comments. The vast majority of the people who read any website don't make themselves known to the community or writer at all, they simply read and enjoy the content. Or they lurk in the forum or comments. But there is a strong sense of community around these sites, and I hate the idea of dismissing that during times of crisis. If we take our community and our sense of shared purpose seriously during the good times, I don't feel it's a stretch to do the same during the bad times.
This is especially true these days, when most of us buy our video games through Steam, the PlayStation Network, or Amazon. Before I was able to make a living as a writer I managed video game retail stores for a number of years, and you better believe I had more than a passing relationship with many of the customers who came in to buy their games.
We would talk about current events, their kids or parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives. Today, we would have talked about Boston. We would have done it in a place that exists for people to buy and sell video games. It wouldn't have felt awkward; the store was also a place for people with like interests to gather, and discuss things that were on their mind. That sense of belonging and place was lost in the shift to digital distribution, but we can reclaim some of it with the sites we read.
I've never had a bad experience meeting a reader, and I know what it's like to feel safe and comfortable inside a virtual gathering place. If people are comforted by talking about these events from within the comment thread of a video game website, so fucking what? If that website can provide a place for people to talk, share stories, and come together at a time when most of us feel vulnerable, that's a beautiful thing.
We always hear how technology is keeping us apart, and isolating us from others. I've had good friends I only knew through Battlefield servers. I know that argument is bullshit. Creating a short post and inviting readers to discuss the events in Boston feels like leaving the door open and setting out coffee and donuts. You don't have to come in, but if you want to, the space is there for you. It doesn't feel like a site desperate for hits, it feels like an act of generosity.
Different people deal with tragedy in different ways, and I see nothing wrong with a site that has a strong community offering a place to just hang out and talk about what people are feeling, even if that place is usually dedicated to video games. I've known people who have delt with the death of a friend by talking to the person who runs their Dungeons and Dragons game, and that's wonderful. The people with which we game, or the people we discuss gaming with, are allowed to be our friends and support structure. We spend too much of our time alone, and anything that offers a place to not to be together is a good thing.
If the reactions of other sites and how they embrace their community makes you angry, step away from the computer. Think about the people that may be helped by the gesture. Call a friend or take your friends or kids for ice cream instead of cursing at someone on Twitter. There are enough people out there trying to tear down the bonds between people. They don't need your help.

The Orange Leader
With a $6.5 million deficit, the county is looking for areas to cut the budget.
Orange County Commissioners Court is looking at each departments requests for the 2013/2014 fiscal budget and searching for alternatives.
Orange County Road and Bridge was asked to place $300 thousand for road materials on hold for now until the court can revisit the request at a later date.
"Historically, the county waits until the end of the fiscal year and purchases the materials for next year based on what is left," County Engineer Clark Slacum said during a recent budget workshop meeting. "I need materials to build roads. We use it all. If $300 thousand is cut, we will have to do a lot less next year."
Road materials bought this year will be used for road construction next year. If the budget is cut, it will affect how much material Road and Bridge can buy next year and the amount of road work that can b accomplished in 2015.
Commissioner Pct. 4 Jody Crump asked Slacum to compile information showing how much road material was actually used this year to show how much may be actually needed.
"I would like to see the actual expenditures for the year," Crump said.
Commissioner Pct. 3 John Banken asked about records to show the maintenance on equipment.
"You need to report on maintenance so we can keep track of it, including mechanic hours," Banken said.
Slacum said records are kept including replacing mower decks.
"I am not requesting new equipment this year," Slacum said. "The equipment is getting older which means more maintenance."
Slacum also added that he has yet to replace the truck driver the court recently approved to help with the budget.
"I am not saying anyone will be laid off," Banken said. "If a person quits or retires, think hard about replacement. You will have to convince me before I vote to approve to replace."
The court also looked at options for the County Collection Site located on FM 1442.
Slacum requested to have a small bathroom construction at the location.
"We have used a portable restroom," Slacum said. "To me it is like throwing money down the drain."
The portable unit costs the county $100 a month.
County Judge Carl Thibodeaux suggested the trailer which previously housed Adult Probation.
"It may be overkill but it is something available," Thibodeaux said. "It is something the county already owns."
Thibodeaux also said the county does not want to build anything else right now.
Thibodeaux questioned Slacum's request for an cover over the compactor units. Slacum requested the cover to help protect citizens from the rain.
"We are only open two days a week," Slacum said. "So yes, they come out in the rain."
Thibodeaux said the funds for the project could stay in the budget for now.
Constable Pct. 2 David Cagle asked the court to disregard his capital outlay requests.
"After hearing the situation the county is in, I can live without them," Cagle said. "I came in person instead of sending a note to show the requests are not frivolous."
Cagle said he is going with the original budget the county auditor recommended.
Orange County Parks Department's request for a new security gate for Claiborne West Park is on hold for one year.
"We can look at replacing the gate next year," Thibodeaux said. "There is already a way to block vehicles from entering the park."
Orange County Parks Director Donna Scales asked the court to consider the part-time employees in the Parks Department.
"The parks are open all year long, even on holidays," Scales said. "If regular employees get a raise, please consider our part-timers as well."
Park part time employees currently receive $8.76 an hour.
Management Information Systems Director Lisa Reeves told the court that her requests for software and programming are based on new requirements for e-filing. The requirements are state mandated.
Commissioner Pct. 1 David Dubose told Reeves that she could have the computer from his office.
"I would rather use my Ipad," Dubose said.
Thibodeaux said it was difficult concerning the MIS budget requests because most came from request for other departments.
"We are asking Lisa to defend what other departments want," Thibodeaux said.
Budget talks continue 10 a.m. Tuesday as the commissioners look at the Agrilife Extension Service Office and the Veteran's Office budgets.

SMYRNA, Del. - Police have made an arrest in connection with a January home invasion assault. Delaware State Police arrested Martin Smith Sr., 41, of Dover, and charged him with the crime. Police say on January 25th, around 11:40 PM, someone knocked on the door of a Hedgerow Holloway Road home in Smyrna.
According to the report, the 38-year-old victim opened the door, and the was confronted by a man who said that he had hit the victim's car in front of the house. When the victim stepped outside, he was reportedly additionally confronted by a second suspect, both men had handguns and demanded money from the victim. Police say that the victim turned over cash and a written prescription for medication, to the suspects. The two suspects then reportedly forced the victim back into the home, and demanded more money. Police say that this second confrontation turned physical, during which the suspects hit the victim in the head, with the handgun.
The suspects then apparently fled from the home. The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries. An investigation lead Police to believe that this was not a random act, and that the victim had been targeted.
Police say they later obtained information which lead to Smith's arrest at his Nimitz Road home in Dover. After the arrest, Police searched the home, where thy reportedly found a Tec-DC9 handgun, a 9mm handgun, a .22 caliber handgun, along with various rounds of ammunition. Smith is charged with 1st degree robbery, 1st degree assault, home invasion, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, along with other related offences. He is being held at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $185,000 bond.

Hello, I am a frequent Swiss flyer..and as great as the service is and taken the high standards that swiss stands for...it is not at all understandable to me that the food is soo bad?!!!!...the bread of the sandwiches tastes dry and without flavor..the sausage has a taste like a "schuhsole"...the cheese is the color as i know a cheese...but nothing else...PLEASE...don't torture your guest!!!...i would rather pay for food that has quality than having to eat the existing sandwiches!...the only thing that is saving me with each flight is the good chocolate ! :)...austrian airlines uses e.g. DO&CO CATERING...this is not expensive...but you treat your customers well.

@FGCU_MBB Inks Johnson, Terrell and Moeller To NLIs In Early Signing Period
DUNK CITY, Fla. – Riding the waves of an unprecedented 2012-13 season and a 3-1 start to the 2013-14 campaign, the FGCU men's basketball team and head coach Joe Dooley has secured a talented incoming freshman class as Zach Johnson, Christian Terrell and Eric Moeller have all signed a National Letter of Intent in the early signing period to join the quickly-ascending program.
Johnson, a 6-2 guard from Miami, inked his NLI on Monday while Terrell, a 6-4 guard out of Jacksonville, and Moeller, a 6-11 forward from St. Louis, signed theirs last Wednesday. All three will join FGCU for the 2014-15 season, with Johnson and Terrell having four years of eligibility and Moeller – who is currently a freshman at JUCO Central Florida – having three years.
"We're excited about all three guys and expect them to be great additions to our program," Dooley said of his first class. "They're all from terrific programs that are used to winning and have been around a culture of working hard and being tough."
Rated the No. 1 prospect in South Florida byRMF Magazine, the 8th-best prospect in the entire state by Future 150 and a 4-star recruit by the same outlet, Johnson averaged 13.3 points, 4.1 assists and 2.7 steals per game at Miami Norland High School last year. Johnson erupted for a game-high 29 points against Pines Charter in the 6A Regional semifinals and then earned State Final Four MVP after leading the Vikings to their second consecutive 6A Championship in the highest level of high school basketball in Florida.
Johnson, who is ranked as one of the top 100 players in the entire nation and No. 27 at his position by Future 150, chose FGCU over a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference schools.
"Zach brings a great presence to our program. He's from a great program in Norland High School and coach (Lawton) Williams has done an outstanding job coaching him," Dooley said of the guard. "He brings some toughness and some versatility on the perimeter for us."
"He's a strong, athletic hard worker who is a real good slasher and will get to the basket," Williams, Johnson's high school coach, said. "He's a great on-ball defender and will bring intensity every night. He's going to help FGCU a lot and it was the best fit for him."
Joining Johnson on the perimeter will be Terrell, who first made national headlines this past summer for a soaring dunk which has nearly 1.3 million views on YouTube. The combo guard averaged 11.2 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game last season as a junior at Jacksonville Providence High School, helping lead the program to the Class 3A Championship in 2012-13.
Like Johnson, Terrell is ranked in the top 35 in the state at No. 34 by SourceHoops, a ranking sure to go up as he enters his senior season on a team selected by the same outlet as the best in 3A. Terrell chose FGCU over a few BCS programs, and his Providence team will play in the elite City of Palms Classic in December in Fort Myers, giving Eagles fans a great opportunity to see the athletic combo wing.
"Christian is a guy with tremendous upside, just like Zach," Dooley commented. "They've got skills, but their potential is better than what they are right now and that's what's exciting. When he adds some strength and becomes a consistent shooter then he'll really be able to impact our program."
"He's a perfect fit for FGCU's style and up-tempo play," Terrell's high school coach Jim Martin said. "He's extremely athletic and at 6-4 can jump out of the gym. He's just as good at the 1 as he is the 2 and has a huge upside. Christian is a big-time winner who is a smart kid with a great basketball IQ and is defensively sound."
Moeller was a preferred walk-on at Missouri last season after averaging 11 points and 5 rebounds per game as a senior at De Smet High School in his native St. Louis. Moeller is currently at Central Florida in Ocala, the reigning National Junior College Champions, and originally had scholarship offers from the Eagles and a pair of mid-major programs coming out of high school before choosing FGCU.
Moeller is one of three current Central Florida players who have already signed to play at the Division-I level, with several more expected to follow suit. While at De Smet, Moeller was teammates with current Butler freshman Nolan Berry.
"Eric is a very skilled frontcourt player who will fit in perfectly with our style of play," Dooley surmised. "He can play in the post and is comfortable on the perimeter. I think with added strength he can be a terrific player us and we're excited about having him for three years."
"Eric is an intelligent, skilled big man who finishes well around the basket and is a nightmare for his opponents," said his current coach at Central Florida, Tim Ryan. "He has the ability to also step out on the perimeter and knock down the outside shot."
FGCU will return all but one letterwinner next year as Chase Fieler (Parkersburg, W. Va./Parkersburg South HS) is the lone senior on the current roster.

Sox prompted to place Schilling on DL
Veteran shelved for at least 60 days; makes room for Holdzkom
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As inevitable as it was, the Red Sox still had to make it official. They did so on Thursday morning, placing right-hander Curt Schilling on the 60-day disabled list.
Schilling, trying to bounce back from right shoulder woes, has been limited to strictly indoor exercises this spring.
There is no timetable for the 41-year-old Schilling to get on a throwing program. It's all a matter of how he responds.
The best-case scenario is that the big righty could return around the All-Star break.
Schilling is planning on joining the Red Sox next week for their trip to Tokyo, where they will open their season against the A's.
The Red Sox were prompted to make the move with Schilling on Thursday because they needed to clear a roster spot for right-handed reliever Lincoln Holdzkom, who was brought back to the organization as a free agent.
Holdzkom was selected by the Phillies in last December's Rule 5 Draft. However, the Phils -- as is their right -- offered him back to the Red Sox.
But Holdzkom opted for free agency, as was his right, and the Red Sox have signed him to a Major League contract. He reported to Fort Myers on Thursday.
Holdzkom split his 2007 season between Double-A Portland (4-1, 3.47 ERA) and Triple-A Pawtucket (1-0, 1.59 ERA).
The Red Sox made some other roster moves on Thursday, optioning right-hander Devern Hansack and outfielder Jonathan Van Every to Triple-A Pawtucket.
In addition, the Sox returned non-roster invitees Lee Gronkiewicz, Michael Tejera and Jon Switzer -- all pitchers -- to Minor League camp.
