Does trafficking really happen in my area?
Woman, children, and also men, are trafficked across almost every national border, typically coming from very impoverished areas of the world to areas of the world where there is a "market" for exploitation in agriculture, domestic labor, manufacturing, and the sex trade. Women and children are also trapped in situations of exploitation and the sex trade within their own countries.
The links above are only a small sample of newspaper articles from all
over the
In spite of increasing attention to the issue of trafficking, only a tiny percent of victim's stories make the newspapers.
In some countries, the media chooses not to cover stories of trafficking and slavery. In some places, the media is influenced by the very people who benefit economically from the trafficking of human beings. Political leaders, the police or military, or organized crime may be directly involved, or may be supporting or allowing exploitation and trafficking to occur. In some places, victims of trafficking and slavery are still perceived as at fault for their situations. In many nations, penalties for human trafficking and exploitation are only now being established. Just because you do not see your city, state or nation listed below, it does not mean the problem does not exist. It simply means it has not been covered in the newspaper.

Pianist Roman Rabinovich Plays Tchaikovsky in Zanesville Tuesday
A seven-week orchestra concert tour of the U.S. doubtlessly brings with it a slew of ups and downs – literal ones, like airplanes taking off and landing, and metaphorical ones, like broken-down tour buses and cancelled concerts.
But for all the larger-than-life drama that could befall a logistically gargantuan undertaking like the Haifa Symphony Orchestra's first-ever American tour, guest pianist Roman Rabinovich says the tour's most significant mishap so far actually came in a small package.
"At one concert in Florida, we had a baby crying for about 10 minutes very loudly," Rabinovich said, laughing, "but that's the only thing I can think of."
Rabinovich, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra and conductor Boguslaw Dawidow will give the only Ohio performance on their U.S. tour Tuesday, Feb. 18, Â 7 pm, at Zanesville's Secrest Auditorium. The concert, presented by the Zanesville Concert Association, marks Rabinovich's return to Ohio, where he earlier performed with the Ashland Symphony Orchestra.
Winner of the 2008 Artur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition and a rising star on the international concert scene, Rabinovich will perform Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in Zanesville. It's a work he calls "one of the most gorgeous pieces" in the piano concerto repertoire.
"Tchaikovsky is such a master of melody, and the piano writing is very inventive and virtuosic and colorful," Rabinovich said. "The piano part, I feel, is almost like part of the orchestra, and there are so many places when the tune starts in the orchestra and continues in the piano and vice versa."
The Tchaikovsky is one of four concertos Rabinovich is performing on this U.S. tour. The intensity of the tour schedule – daily travel by plane and/or bus, almost daily performances – is forcing him to build in plenty of time for stretching and meditating. But Rabinovich says it also is giving him an invaluable opportunity to get to know the Tchaikovsky concerto – and the Haifa Symphony musicians – more deeply.
"I'm learning so much," Rabinovich said. "Playing the pieces every night and going deeper into the music and also getting to know the orchestra and working on the details of the music is something that you can really explore when you have so much time together."
And over the years, Rabinovich and the Haifa Symphony Orchestra have spent a lot of time together. Rabinovich first performed as soloist with the Haifa Symphony Orchestra years ago, when he was 10 years old. That performance took place shortly before Rabinovich auditioned for legendary conductor Zubin Mehta, whose invitation for Rabinovich to solo with the Israel Philharmonic gave Rabinovich's career a jump start. Since then, Rabinovich has returned frequently to perform with the Haifa Symphony, whose musicians he knows and loves.
"I know all the orchestra members, "Rabinovich said "It feels like a family by now."
When the musicians' March 16 performance in Stanford, Ca., brings their tour to an end, the Haifa Symphony members will return to Israel, and Rabinovich will head for his home base of New York City. There, he'll continue pursuing his most recent musical fascination – the music of J.S. Bach – which he's been delving into deeply during the last year.
"It's the best music ever written," Rabinovich said. "I always loved Bach and I always played Bach, but I wanted to really play a lot of Bach this year. I think it's just time."
Rabinovich's concert schedule in the coming year will take him to major musical venues throughout the U.S., Europe and Israel – and in March 2015 back to Ashland, Ohio. But amid the hustle and bustle of life on the concert circuit and the fierce competition and complex nuances of a concert artist's career, this pianist holds to a pretty simple philosophy:
"I love all good music."
Pianist Roman Rabinovich, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra and conductor Boguslaw Dawidow perform their only Ohio concert in the Haifa Symphony's first U.S. tour Tuesday, Feb. 18, 7 p.m., at Zanesville's Secrest Auditorium.

I will start with the positives, Absolutely no problem with the staff who were as always, in our experience of RCCI, first class and very friendly. The entertainment we found to be very good apart from one act, a female singer doing divas, who we thought was not very good. The ice shows were spectacular, we got an extra showing as we are platinum members of crown and anchor, although at least one of reviews mentioned it is the same show that he had seen before. We sailed on Navigator last year and it was a different show. The ship itself is fantastic and the balcony cabin we had was a decent size with enough room for 3 of us and a good size balcony. Plenty of things to do and see on board on sea days from crazy golf, flow rider and rock climbing wall to a well stocked library and entertainment in all the lounges.
Now for the negatives...We had never sailed out of Britain before but due to circumstances with my wife's health were unable to take a flight abroad to pick up a ship. Unfortunately, although embarkation was very good, we were disappointed with a minority of the passengers on board some of whom behaved like neds on more than one occasion. We also found the food in the Windjammer, although of excellent quality, too geared up for the british market with not the usual variety we come to expect from RCCI.
We like to eat in the Windjammer as it gives us a bit more freedom to select good food rather than doing the main dining which can still be a bit elitist. We ate in the main dining on formal nights and found the meals allright but not to our taste although that is a personal point of view and not meant to detract from anyone who enjoys the fine dining! Overall a very good cruise was enjoyed but I am afraid we will not do one again from southampton as you get the impression it is very similar to going on holiday abroad and being embarrassed about some of the brits behaviour particularly in the parents who seemed to allow their youngsters to get drunk and be a bit annoying to fellow passengers.
One more point, I am a smoker and was disappointed to find that the only places I could have a cigarette were outside as they do not allow smoking in the Casino any more. Now I fully understand that smoking is viewed as a disgusting filthy habit and that there should be separation from people who do not smoke but given the inclement weather your are likely to get when sailing some of the seas surely it is not too much to ask for one of many lounges on board to be designated a smoking area. I know they have a cigar room but if you are a smoker and tried that room you will understand when I say it is not suitable for a cigarette smoker.

RALEIGH — Tens of thousands of science fans jammed through the doors of the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences new Nature Research Center during its 24-hour grand opening celebration this weekend.
The lure of seeing what was behind the museums $56 million expansion kept a steady stream of visitors heading into downtown Raleigh. Museum officials said Saturday they came close to meeting their goal of 50,000 visitors during the 24 hours it was open. The museum reported 45,000 people came through the doors and another estimated 25,000 were part of the outdoor celebration.
The first impression from many of Saturdays visitors, some who had waited nearly an hour to get inside, was overwhelmingly positive.
I think its awesome, said Devona Morgan of Raleigh, who came with her 11-year-old son, Darion, and 5-year-old daughter, Daneya. Im glad Raleigh has something like this for kids.
One of the goals of the new wing, organizers say, is to use the 80,000 square feet of extra space to give visitors more hands-on involvement, whether its touching exhibits or talking with scientists and researchers.
You can tell a kid a thousand times about something, but scraping a fossil for DNA is something hell remember, said Brad Kiser of Moncure, who came Saturday with his wife, Jacquie, and 7-year-old son, Luke.
It didnt get any more interactive than the chance to operate a robotic surgeon on loan from Rex Hospital for the grand opening.
Where else can you get to play with a $2 million robot? Kiser said.
While the robotic surgeon is gone after Saturday, many of the other exhibits and activities will still remain.
With the crowds so large, activities were streamlined for the grand opening so that as many people could go through the new wing as possible. Exhibit organizers say people should return for a more slow-paced visit of the museum to do the experiments that werent offered.
We hope to see you back when its less hectic, Meghan Lobsinger, a weekend captain for the Naturalist Center, told visitors on Saturday.
In the Natural World Investigate Lab, instead of the more complex experiments that will typically be offered, visitors were shown how to calibrate a microscope. This included zooming in on the tail side of a penny to see President Abraham Lincoln seated inside the Lincoln Memorial.
It was pretty cool, said Marra Wilkins, 10, of Knightdale. I didnt realize that Lincoln was there.
Among the other things that visitors will get to do in the future but werent offered for the grand opening are talk to the staff while theyre working in the veterinary center and use the new smart tables at the relocated and expanded Naturalist Center.
But even with what was available Saturday, Darion Morgan summed up the Nature Research Center for a lot of visitors.
Its a science wonderland, he said.
The new wing drew visitors from around the state. But the distinction of having traveled the most for the event likely goes to Dr. Kanwaljit Soin, a noted physician and womens rights activist from Singapore who came to Raleigh at the request of Meg Lowman, director of the Nature Research Center.
Its something that when I get back to Singapore that Ill impress should be emulated., Soin said.

The Word: Miley Cyrus 'didn't even think about' VMA performance
Ever since the VMAs, one question has been on America's mind: Will taking action in Syria destabilize the region further?
In the rare moments that we as a nation weren't gravely debating that, we spared a few moments to ask ourselves, what was Miley Cyrus thinking at the VMAs?Now the answer comes from the rogue twerker herself: She wasn't.
"What's amazing is I think now, we're three days later and people are still talking about it. They're overthinking it," she says in the below interview with MTV. "You're thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it. Like, I didn't even think about it 'cause that's just me."
We know, Miley. We know. This is what concerns us.
Get More:
Miley Cyrus, Music News
Even Miley Cyrus' friends can't stand behind what she did at the VMAs, and they're not shy about saying so. Especially if it's their job to tear down celebrities.
Miley's pal Kelly Osbourne, cohost of "Fashion Police," couldn't hide her dislike of her friend's performance.
"Miley's my friend and I love her, and I have her back no matter what, but as her friend I'm going to tell her: Put your f—ing tongue in your mouth. I love you, but just put your tongue in your mouth."

Big cost-cutting shake up for West Sussex councils proposed
4:30am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
Councillors are calling for the end of a "confusing" two-tier local government system.
West Sussex county councillor James Walsh is calling on the council's leader to help abolish the county council and district council system currently in place.
He wants a committee to be formed to look into the possibility of creating one or two unitary authorities in West Sussex and to push the Government to help the proposal become a reality.
The Liberal Democrat leader has tabled a motion that will be discussed at this week's full council meeting.
Dr Walsh told The Argus that the move could save tens of millions of pounds and could be achieved within three years.
He said that the change would mainly hit the top level of management in councils, including chief executives, as well as duplicate services such as human resources and legal services.
The current two-tier system sees council responsibilities split between the county council and district councils.
Dr Walsh proposes that West Sussex be governed by one council taking care of it all – or for West Sussex to be split into two council areas with two unitary authorities. This could see one council for coastal residents and one for people living north of the South Downs.
The move is also being supported by UKIP county leader Mike Glennon, who has tabled a similar motion as a way for the authority to meet its multi-million-pound saving objectives.
Dr Walsh said: "Fifteen years ago I was on the other side of this debate, arguing against a unitary authority but I have completely changed my mind in the past two years. The big driver in this change is the need to save money and the need to remove wasteful services.
"There is also confusion among residents about which council carries out which service."
Adur District Council leader Neil Parkin said: "I know it would be akin to turkeys voting for Christmas but I am totally in favour of it because I think it would be better for the people.
He added: "The only drawback would be if you created a coastal authority you would combine all the areas of West Sussex while the northern areas would be very wealthy in comparison, which could make things awkward and something would have to be done about that imbalance."
Worthing Borough Council leader Paul Yallop said he was not totally against the proposal but would want to see the details of any proposal.
He said: "West Sussex County Council has no statutory power to change local government structure, that's a job for Westminster."

In an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) performance that was a clear-cut decision win that fell short of dominant, Georges St. Pierre left no question that he was the better fighter Saturday night (March 16, 2013) in beating Nick Diaz inside the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. As the UFC 158 main event coursed into the final three rounds, Diaz had some moments as the champion tired, but ultimately could not get his offense untracked on the feet or the mat.
With the win, St. Pierre notched his eighth title defense and his sixth straight by decision. Diaz had a few bright spots over the second half of the fight standing, but St. Pierre -- eminently prepared -- ultimately shut him down in every phase of the game, winning 50-45 on all three judges' cards (watch video highlights here).
In the co-main event, Johny Hendricks took a hard-fought unanimous decision of 29-28 across the board against the game Carlos Condit, whose third-round surge made their Welterweight contest the best fight on the pay-per-view (PPV) main card (watch video highlights here). Marked by intense standing exchanges and a tightly contested battle of wills on the mat, Hendricks' win positions him for a likely shot at St. Pierre's title.
Here's a closer look at the competitors from Saturday's card in Montreal, with the UFC 158 Report Card.
Heavy-handed, aggressive and calculating, Ellenberger put together a brilliant performance in KO'ing tough veteran Nate Marquardt in the first round (watch video highlights here). After getting the worst of some early exchanges, Ellenberger dialed in on the proper range and drilled Marquardt against the cage with a pair of big punches, then pounced for a highlight-reel finish. Once a rising contender prior to his rollicking knockout loss at the hands of Martin Kampmann, "The Juggernaut" resurrected a lot of the hype behind his campaign for a title shot, reminding fight fans of the reason(s) he's such a dangerous opponent.
Originally slated to face Hendricks on tonight's card, Ellenberger made some big noise. A match against rising welterweight Demian Maia would be a natural, and produce another solid title challenger, or at least a top contender.
Georges St. Pierre: B
St. Pierre is the master of the well-crafted gameplan, and tonight was a textbook reminder of how effectively he executes within that envelope. After testing the standing waters early, he transitioned to readily available takedowns in the first two rounds, steering clear of Diaz' trademark roll into knee bar setups, and judiciously picking shots on the ground.
It wasn't the kind of overwhelming beating and physical statement that GSP's made against other victims of his five-round drubbings, but he knew Diaz' strengths enough to defuse them, especially on the mat. The ground sequences essentially resembled a black belt against a purple, with Diaz consistently outworked and outpositioned, and hard-headedly trying the same setups, which were telegraphed, especially against a jiu-jitsu ace like GSP.
However, over the second half of the bout, GSP's takedown attempts were markedly less effective, and he looked tired for much of the stretch run. Georges showed his world-class jab and bashed Diaz repeatedly with it, but never once put the granite-chinned challenger in danger. The Diaz match was something St. Pierre needed to deal with and put behind him, and he left no questions en route to a 50-45 sweep on all the cards. Still, though, it would have been more of a statement had he delivered more knees to the body on the mat, and thrown more authority into his shots standing. Perhaps his respect for Diaz' ability mitigated that, but he did well enough to get the W and keep the belt, and at the end of the day, that's what matters.
Nick Diaz: B-
Showing his trademark toughness and unbreakable spirit, Diaz looked fairly good over the second half of the bout, but could never get his standing offense untracked outside of a few good spurts. Since that was essentially the crux of a winning strategy, he got steamrolled here. Still, Diaz showed why he's such a feared opponent, making St. Pierre shoot for takedowns late in the fight whenever the challenger started to get effective on the feet, and he seemed to have better stamina at the end.
Diaz has a ton of ability and is as durable as any fighter in the game. That's why his post-fight announcement that he will probably walk away is a real loss to the sport. Who knows if it was post-defeat ennui creeping in, or it's merely something Nick will change his mind on, but the guy has a ton of opportunities in front of him.
He's never been shy about stating his dislike for the sport and the attendant irritations that come with competing on the big stage, and maybe he really will walk away. Only Diaz knows what's best for him, but if he does leave the game, he's had one hell of a career. But honestly, the guess here is that the competitive fire in him keeps Diaz swinging and scrapping. He was born to do this, and despite the hassles of promotion and all that, it's a real void to fill, especially when the money is better than ever.
Johny Hendricks: B
Hendricks showed a lot of maturity tonight, picking his spots early against Condit and knowing when to push and when to pull back. And his big-time left hand power is pretty much the most potent weapon in the division, as even the granite-chinned Condit was left in retreat after eating some of Johny's monster crosses in the first stanza.
Hendricks positioned himself well to avoid Condit's eminently tricky guard game, but if there was a red flag that emerged in terms of challenging St. Pierre it was this - Condit escaped to his feet several times after getting taken down, whereas against GSP, he was essentially planted to the mat for endless stretches. He also got pounded a ton on his back, where Hendricks could mount limited-at-best offensive. Hendricks also looked lost while being forced to back up, though he remains deadly effective coming forward.
If Hendricks is going to beat St. Pierre, it will be on account of his left-hand bombs, not wrestling, as he simply doesn't have the wrestling and jiu-jitsu to dominate GSP. But given that there's nobody else in the division warranting a shot as much as he does, he's got the long-awaited change to show why he's better. And after tonight, he should have a lot of confidence after besting Condit, who's a very tough contender with a ton of experience.
Carlos Condit: B
Wily, resilient, and creative, Condit survived Hendricks' opening-rounds artillery to make a series of subtle adjustments to ultimately have the upper hand at the bell. Using his well-rounded standup, and a brilliantly subtle guard game, Condit got taken down endlessly, but also popped back to his feet after solid bottom work, and outstriking Hendricks much of the time despite being on his back. While he lost the decision, this was the exact kind of performance to vet Condit as a tough challenge for any welter in the world - and the rematch that was supposed to happen with Rory MacDonald tonight should be a lock for both men's next bout, as Condit did nothing to suggest he isn't going to give MacDonald one hell of a tussle.
Chris Camozzi: C+
Hard-nosed and game throughout, Camozzi was outgunned in the first half of a closely-contested bout against Nick Ring, but he hung tough, striking, pressing and pushing the pace en route to a split decision of 29-28 across the cards. Camozzi isn't athletically gifted and has somewhat rudimentary striking, but heart and persistence carried him to the victory here, his fourth straight in the Octagon.
Mike Ricci: C+
In the pay-per-view opener, Ricci looked laconic and disinterested here, picking spots and appearing completely in control when he wanted to assert himself, particularly with his quick hands, only to lag and linger and let the awkward but persistent Fletcher creep back into the bout. It's hard to tell what Ricci's problem was, as Fletcher's attacks were terribly telegraphed, and he presented little threat on the feet or the ground. In the third, Ricci woke up and pressed hard over the final minute with a takedown and some effective ground work on the bloodied Fletcher, but this was a flat performance in his home country, against a limited opponent that wasn't brought in as an accident - Fletcher was the perfect setup fight for Ricci to score an impressive knockout, and instead, he blew it. You can bet the UFC won't be serving up any more pancakes for Ricci, because he dropped the ball here.
Nick Ring: C-
With superior standup in the first two rounds, Ring faded badly over the last stanza against Camozzi, breathing visibly out of his mouth with his technique eroding terribly. It's hard to gauge Ring's ability because at times he looks elite, and at others, he'll look very pedestrian. Conditioning is a big factor and his simply is a huge question mark. After dropping the decision, Ring needs to up his preparations accordingly, because his better athleticism and striking should have carried him to a win tonight. As the great Carl Gotch said, "Conditioning is your best submission hold." Ring should remember that, because he shouldn't have let the third round get away from him in a bout he had won.
Nate Marquardt: D
Blitzed out in one round by the heavy-handed Ellenberger, Marquardt was on the tough end of a heartbreaking loss tonight. At 170 pounds, he's still a potent force, especially if he can perform as well as he did against the then-unbeaten Tyron Woodley in Strikeforce. However, tonight was a rough setback and a rare KO loss for the normally durable "Nate the Great." Going back to the drawing board will mean a lower level of opponent and a good opportunity for him to put some wins together, albeit likely while being positioned as a steppingstone by the UFC.
I was hard on Fletcher in my preview of UFC 158 and he didn't do anything to dissuade me from the conviction that he's a subpar talent who is in the promotion solely because of geographic reasons. He's game, willing and athletically limited, and while the UFC's announcing team of Goldie and Rogan is quick to remind us Ricci trains with GSP and Rory MacDonald, it's impossible to imagine either of them not destroying a limited guy like Fletcher. Which is where Ricci's comparisons with them should end. Fletcher gawked and did some kicking and hung in there, but honestly, he's probably one of the worst fighters on the UFC's roster. I've seen far better talent at Gladiator Challenge. Call him Michael Bisping Ultra-Lite -- he'll stay around while they milk every bit of United Kingdom promotional mojo out of him.

The Grand Tower community continues with their fundraising efforts to be able to repair their ailing levee.On Saturday afternoon they raised more then $7,000 with a chili dinner, raffle, bake sale, a $1,000 check from the Jackson County Shrine Club and a $3,000 check from SIU President Glenn Poshard.But, now a new federal proposal to fix the levee problems could end up costing the town even more money than they already don't have."There is a draft currently sitting at the Pentagon," said Michael Peterson media relations at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "If it is approved under current policy it would include a cost share. Where 65 percent would be federally funded, 35 percent would be locally funded. To date we've done extensive repairs on the slides on the levee to $32 million at federal expense."The Grand Tower Levee District is currently trying to raise more than $1 million to fix a drainage gate in the levee that failed this past year.Now, the possibility of having to come up with even more funds to fix the numerous slides along the levee, is more then they can muster."There's no way we can come up with that kind of money," said Roger Cavness chairman of the Grand Tower Levee and Drainage District. The corps of engineers designed it and built it, and they should stand behind it. It's made out of poor materials and they recognized that in the early seventies."The corps of engineers doesn't deny there are deficiencies in the soil used to build the levee, but they also say they no longer have the funds to repair the problems on their own."At current policy we have to cost share most all the projects the corps of engineers undertakes nationally. And this is a nationwide issue. We're dealing with levee problems coast to coast, anywhere there's aging infrastructure like this we're facing levee safety issues," Peterson said.For the Grand Tower community their focus is on the levee running along their backyards and the banks of the Big Muddy River."The drainage pipes scare me a lot worse then the slides do at this point, until we can get liners in them. But it's not a good thing to have a slide anywhere on our levee system," Cavness said.At this time the federal proposal is only a draft currently being considered by the Pentagon for approval.

NCC Says Economic Data Backs Full Waiver of RFS
The comment period on the request to waive the Renewable Fuel Standard is now closed. Groups on both sides of the issue submitted comments Thursday - the final day of the comment period. Citing economic data suggesting a full waiver would reduce the price of corn by more than two-dollars per bushel - the National Chicken Council submitted comments in support of a full, one-year waiver of the RFS. In addition - NCC hand delivered almost 10-thousand individual comments - almost three-quarters of which came from chicken farmers. According to NCC President Mike Brown - the comments submitted prove in detail that the RFS is causing severe economic harm to the U.S. economy and that the 2013 requirement must be waived in full. The National Pork Producers Council submitted similar comments - stating that the waiver should be granted because the federal requirement for the production of corn ethanol - coupled with a summer drought that has reduced yields and pushed up prices of feed grains - is causing severe economic harm to pork producers. According to NPPC's comments - with the RFS - a weather-driven supply shock no longer simply results in higher prices for feed grains - but causes explosively higher prices, crippling credit and liquidity shortfalls and the frightening prospect that some producers can't assure stable access to corn to feed their animals.
The data cited by NCC comes from an August 2012 report prepared for the Farm Foundation by three Purdue University economists. They found reducing the amount of ethanol blended into gasoline in 2013 would reduce corn prices by nearly 25-percent - or two-dollars a bushel. NCC says the decrease in corn production would result in a decrease of approximately 2.4-percent in retail food prices. They further state that the lower price of corn would result in feed costs that are $32.14 to $47.86 lower per ton. NCC says the chicken industry has had to endure more than 30-billion dollars collectively in increased input costs since the RFS went into effect in October of 2006. Further - NCC states that a historically resilient industry has seen the greatest decrease in growth in more than 40 years during the implementation of the RFS. The group said that because of the importance of corn in so many aspects of food production - the entire food industry - and ultimately the consumer - are suffering because of the RFS.
NPPC pointed to three analyses on the effects of the RFS - from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri, Iowa State University and Purdue University - that concluded a waiver of the federal mandate would have a marginal effect on ethanol production but alleviate the severe economic harm being experienced in various states and regions by pork, poultry and livestock producers.
The EPA is expected to make a decision on the waiver request by November 11th.

BUCKTOWN Ś Owen J. Roberts has enjoyed a rather stress-free roll through the Pioneer Athletic Conference for the good part of three-plus seasons.
And even though certain segments of Saturday afternoonÆs show with Upper Perkiomen may have tugged at and tightened the nerves during a handful of the individual matches, it was Ś in the end Ś yet another cool, calm and collected win for the hosts.
The Wildcats had the upper hand in nine of the 14 bouts, and their combined five pins, technical fall and three decisions nearly doubled the IndiansÆ five wins and almost tripled the sum total of those five decisions in the 44-15 romp.
ōWe were a little concerned coming in,ö said Peter Fratantoni, who moved up to 152 pounds and dealt Kyle Fellman a rare loss, 4-2, helping deny Upper Perkiomen any early momentum. ōOur coaches got us ready for this, though.ö
Ready the Wildcats were ... each and every one of them.
Especially the five who came up short Ś Alec Pupo limiting Upper PerkiomenÆs Dante Steffenino to a 7-2 decision in the 120-pound opener; Demetri DÆOrsaneo limiting Wolfgang McStravick to a 7-3 decision at 138; fill-in Dallas Strus limiting Trevor Weeks to a 2-0 decision at 170; Evan Boaman limiting Casey Cook to a 14-7 decision at 195; and Aston White limiting Dustin Steffenino to a 4-3 decision at 106.
Minimizing the damage was one thing. Then add in the points a few of the OJR faithful werenÆt too sure of at the outset Ś like Dominick PetrucelliÆs 2-0 shutout of a less-than 100 percent Dylan Steffenino at 132; FratantoniÆs win over Fellman; and Nick DeAngeloÆs 12-5 decision of Tyler Godshall at 220.
ōWe thought (PupoÆs) effort was great, kind of a good thing to see because we knew we couldnÆt take (Upper Perkiomen) lightly,ö Fratantoni said. ōI think that match helped us put more effort into it. It seemed to get us into it.ö
They sure got into it enough to remain unbeaten (7-0, 13-0 overall), extend their PAC-10 winning streak to 33 in a row.
And into it enough to end Upper PerkiomenÆs 10-match win streak and, for all intents and purposes, eliminate the Indians (5-2, 14-5) from the title chase.
ōEverything went about as good as it could have, but we didnÆt wrestle well,ö said Upper Perkiomen head coach Tom Hontz. ōI think the tone was set in that first match when we didnÆt get any bonus points.
ōObviously we needed the bonus points today and we didnÆt get them. We looked a little sluggish, and thatÆs uncharacteristic of us.ö
But Hontz in no way shortchanged the OJR effort.
ōThey got some bangers at every weight,ö Hontz said of the Wildcats. ōYou may be able to beat two or three of their guys, but they came right back at you.ö
Which is exactly what happened Saturday.
After Dante Steffenino (27-3) gave the guests their first and only lead of the match, Colby FrankÆs pin at 126 turned the advantage over to OJR for the rest of the day. Petrucelli followed with a tilt and two back points with 25 seconds remaining to account for his thriller over Dylan Steffenino. And when McStravick (29-3) used a late second-period flurry to account for most of his points in the win over DÆOrsaneo, the Wildcats answered back again with Adam MoserÆs two-minute technical fall at 145, FratantoniÆs win, and Kyle ShronkÆs 58-second pin at 160 for a 23-6 cushion at the halfway mark.
Weeks used a cradle just before the final buzzer for his 2-0 win at 170, but OJRÆs Gordon Bolig (28-4) responded with a 41-second pin at 182. Cook gave the Indians another three at 195. But after DeAngelo put the outcome beyond Upper PerkiomenÆs reach (32-12 with three bouts remaining), Brad Trego and Derek Gulotta sandwiched pins at 285 and 113 pounds around the IndiansÆ last hurrah (Dustin Steffenino) to end it.
ōOur kids wrestled well,ö said OJR head coach Steve DeRafelo. ōi was happy with the pace. They wrestled at a high level. Our kids pushed the matches.
ōBut what I was really pleased with was that we didnÆt give up any big points in certain matches where (Upper PerkiomenÆs) dangerous. They did a nice job today.ö
OJR needs a win at Pottstown on Wednesday night to clinch no worse than a tie for its third straight PAC-10 title. A win over the Trojans, and another against Phoenixville in two weeks, would pin down the outright title. ... ōWinning the PAC-10 is our first goal,ö Fratantoni said. ...Moser worked his technical fall just as the first period ended for his 99th career win.

Tributes pour in for 'kind, lovely' Paul Bagnall, Darrick Wood School pupil who died this week
Updated 11:36am Monday 13th January 2014 in News By Patrick Grafton-Green, reporter
THE family and friends of "kind" and "lovely" Paul Bagnall, the Darrick Wood School pupil who died this week, have paid tribute.
Paul, of Dryland Avenue, Orpington, was found dead at his home on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old, a talented rugby player and black-belt in karate, was studying for his A levels.
He was a straight A student with a gift for maths and physics, and had been offered a place at Southampton university to study mechanical engineering.
His death is understood to be by hanging.
Father Nick Bagnall, 57, told News Shopper: "Paul was kind and patient, he had a lovely sense of humour.
"He brought a lot of joy into a lot of people's lives.
"He was not tremendously co-ordinated but he still stuck through to get a black belt in karate. He was a good rugby player as well.
"He always had a smile on his face and he always put a smile on other people's faces.
"He had a lot to look forward to, he was going off to university."
Friend Matt Hall, 19, was a member of Orpington's Kaigaishii Karate Association with Paul and knew him for five years.
He said: "He was a very happy person. I don't think I ever saw him down or upset.
"He was talkative. He was kind and would always help others.
"It has been very hard. Everyone was very shocked.
"It has come out of the blue. We refused to believe it until his parents called us up."
Jack McDonald, 17, another member of the club, added: "It came as a shock to us all.
"When I heard the news, I thought it was some kind of sick joke, but when I learned the truth, I was speechless.
"Paul was a dear friend to me and to all of us - he helped everyone at karate to have a laugh and become the best they could be.
"He will be missed by everyone."
Barbara Rhymaun, head teacher of Orpington's Darrick Wood School, said: "Paul was an exceptional student who was very popular amongst staff and students alike".
"He was a very able student on target to achieve A* grades at A level.
"He was a naturally gifted mathematician and physicist with university offers to study Engineering.
"He was fully committed to every aspect of school life, playing rugby for the 1st XV and was a valued school prefect.
"Paul also participated in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme and was set to complete his Gold Award.
"I am sure you can imagine that Paul's parents and all members of his family are very upset at this tragic turn of events and I know that the thoughts and prayers of everyone at Darrick Wood School are with them at this difficult time.
"We shall miss him greatly."
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We were called at 3.55pm on January 7 to Dryland Avenue.
"A London Air Ambulance crew, an ambulance crew, two single responders and a duty officer were sent to the scene.
"Extensive efforts were made to resuscitate a man in cardiac arrest.
"Sadly he was pronounced dead at the scene."
Police say Paul's death is not being treated as suspicious.

The Buccaneers announced they have signed fourth-round pick WR Mike Williams to a four-year contract.
Williams, who quit the Syracuse football team in November, was the 101st overall selection.
"I love this game, so I urged my agent, Hadley Engelhard, to reach an agreement quickly," Williams said in a statement released by the team. "I am focused on the opportunity to contribute to the team and am very excited to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer."
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that Williams "has the raw talent to become a solid possession receiver in the pros."

Drivers in New Jersey got more than they bargained for when they pulled up to a Keyport gas station only to find jet fuel in the pumps instead of gasoline.
No one seems to know why a gas delivery truck delivered the jet fuel to the Delta gas station instead of its regular gas.
Police tell FOX they were notified about the gas mix up on Friday and the gas station immediately shut down.
Several customers who filled their tanks say their cars stalled or wouldn't run after they filled up.
According to Monmouth County Weights and Measures, the bulk storage facility which delivered the gas says it was their mistake. Officials say it was not a hazmat issue and that this gas station and others which may have received the mistaken delivery are closed until the fuel is pumped out.

By James Niedzinski
Staff Writer
---- — In a move backed by both the city's employee unions and elected officials, Gloucester employees will be entering into one of state's largest health insurance pools, the Group Insurance Commission, saving Gloucester taxpayers a projected $3.5 million over the agreed four-year period, throughout the length of plan.
Assuming that city employees past and present switch to plans offered by GIC, the city is set to save $1 million yearly, and $500,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year, which began July 1 and runs through next June 30. The agreement would end in June of 2017; according to a prepared statement from Mayor Carolyn Kirk.
The actual savings would be greater, but the agreement with the Public Employee Committee — which includes representatives from all of the city's unions and retirees — calls for setting aside money to offset the impact of the switch, to be determined by the PEC.
"The buying power of the GIC drives rates down for employees and savings up for municipalities," Kirk said in the prepared statement announcing the agreement. "After many years of talking about joining the GIC, I am so pleased to announce the agreement with our city and school unions that is projected to save Gloucester $3.5 million over the next few years."
The push for a GIC agreement was at least the third in recent years, but past efforts to enroll the city in the state pool all fell through; union representatives in the past were skeptical the GIC would result in increased rates and more leverage for the city.
The GIC does offer flexible spending and premiums for employees will be less, but out-of-pocket expenses will be on the rise as well, according to the firefighter union chief Steve Aiello.
Aiello said employees need to be better educated about the insurance options before they have to make choice later in the year, encouraging flexible spending.
At the same time, Aiello said it's important insurance costs do not prevent someone from seeking medical attention or seeing a doctor.
"It could be a win-win situation for everyone," he said.
In order for the agreement to be accepted, it had to receive support from the union representatives as well as a majority of the full roster of city union members.
Aeillo said a boot camp will be in the works later this year to encourage healthier lifestyles and let employees know of the rising co-payments with the GIC.
"In addition if employees select a similar plan to the one they are in now, for example, a family would save between $2,700 and $3,200 every year on the amount they pay for their share of health insurance," Kirk's statement reads.
Up until recently, there was a $500 deductible; once an employee spent $500, there were little to no out of pocket costs, which will change with GIC plans, Aiello said.
"We are trying to be proactive rather than reactive," he said.
Group Insurance Commission plans are enacted in a number of other cities and towns; Gloucester is set to change plans on Jan. 1 of next year.

Carroll complains about condition of FedEx Field
The Seahawks lodged a complaint to the NFL about the conditions of FedEx Field, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Moss has four touchdown catches on the season. No one else on the coach Mike Shanahan's roster has more than one.||||||| That's noteworthy given that Moss is being used mostly a slot receiver and isn't on the field that much. He played a season-low 17 snaps in the 27-23 loss to the Giants, and his three receptions for 67 yards in that game put him at 19 for 290 for the season. With Pierre Garcon still hurt and Fred Davis out for the season, Moss could become Robert Griffin's top target.
Moss caught three passes for 67 yards, including both of Robert Griffin III's touchdowns, in Washington's 27-23 loss to New York on Sunday.||||||| Sunday marked the eighth game of Moss' career in which he scored at least two touchdowns, and his first since Dec. 19, 2010. Moss could soon be the beneficiary of even more Griffin targets, as Fred Davis will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his Achilles tendon on Sunday.
Moss was on the receiving end of a 77-yard touchdown pass Sunday.||||||| Though Moss came through with a big play, he caught one other pass for three yards and is still no more than a low-end No. 2 fantasy receiver at best.
Moss will miss 5-7 weeks after undergoing surgery on his fracture left hand Monday.||||||| Moss had two catches for 17 yards in the opening quarter. He leads all Washington receivers with 25 catches for 301 yards and two touchdowns.
Moss hauled in five passes for 39 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 17-10 win at St. Louis.||||||| Moss has at least five receptions in all four games this season and seems to have formed a nice rapport with quarterback Red Grossman.

On nitro tap for Churchill's Renaissance 2013 at Churchill's Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA.
Billed at 3.2% ABV and made with Portola coffee.
Pours a clear copper with a foamy khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Thick rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, and coffee beans. Taste is much the same with a brewed coffee flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is mild and easy to drink.

Made with Bird Rock coffee. On nitro ( :/ ) at Pizza Port Solana Beach. This is the Dawn Patrol brewed at Pizza Port Solana Beach and not the Dawn Patrol brewed at Port Brewing (Red Poppy base).
A: Dark brown with a creamy beige cap.
S: Roasted grains, coffee, nutty earth, and a little chocolate. The coffee smells quite nice but it's pretty mellow.
T: Nutty chocolate with a smooth and mellow earthy coffee profile that does the base beer credit. Light biscuit and toffee notes.
M: Creamy velvet mouthfeel with a medium body.
Overall: It's like a light iced coffee beverage. The flavor suffered a little from nitro (Why put this on nitro?) but still nice and I could drink a lot of this. I'd love to try a cask of this or on tap.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say a traffic light was out at the intersection where an ambulance and a sport utility vehicle collided near a hospital emergency room in northeast Ohio. A passenger in the SUV was killed.
Three more people were injured in the crash early Thursday near a hospital in Akron. Police say the traffic light was out because of a power outage and, by law, that situation should be treated as a four-way stop.
The ambulance was transporting a patient on a non-emergency basis and didn't have its flashing lights or siren in use. It's unclear which vehicle entered the intersection first.
Authorities identified the victim as 57-year-old Collins Green of Akron.
No citations have been issued.

+ - Popular nerd news website attempts to destroy its user base, and itself->
Link to Original Source
I was under the impression that the Taipei geeks were fiddling with the touchpad and display screen markets, out of their niche in ATM touchscreen displays (which wealthy nations ignored), and that when they were contracted by Apple to make Ipads they said "hey, check this out, we put a screen on it. And you can attach at telephone". And Apple said "heck yah make that" but nothing kept Samsung from doing the same. But that's a general recollection, I don't want to be cited as a source.
I don't remember it happening in that way.
Apple acquired a company called FingerWorks that didn't do touchscreens, but DID do multitouch gesture systems.
Steve Job's vision for the iPhone was a phone that is a piece of glass. I believe capacitive sensors had been done before, but Apple's hardware+software expertise, combined with FingerWorks patents, created the gesture-based interface that now seems routine on smartphones.
To be able to manipulate items on the screen by touch -- incredibly responsive, intuitive gestures, it was a big breakthrough. Even tiny things like the little slider thing to unlock an iPhone was magic, it appeared like a physical latch because it followed your touch.
Swipe to scroll, pinch to zoom, etc etc, those gestures were from FingerWorks, AFAIK.
Any tips on how to recreate that standard 1994-1995 486 experience aside from finding an old pc and installing win95?
Chocolate doom has built-in emulation of the adlib chip that was present on the ubiquitous soundblaster cards of the 90s
that litigious asshole John Carmack
Holy crap there is a lot of bile in your post.
Doom was designed to be modded - you had the IWAD that stored the main game data, and you could load a PWAD with command line parameters. Those features were either put in by Carmack or blessed by him.
I'm intimately familiar with what the Doom community became after 1998 when Carmack released the source code (how many other companies do that?)
He was tremendously supportive of the community and personally replied to some emails I sent him over the years asking him about GPL licensing of old id stuff.
He's even got an account here on Slashdot.
The portrait you paint of him does not match anything I've seen or read about him, ever.
How does microsoft do so much user testing and have no idea these products are going to be colossal flops?
I can't imagine the reasoning that went on behind the push for Windows 8:
"Let's unify our mobile and desktop interfaces, because we have a stranglehold on the desktop, people will gravitate towards our mobile offerings"
The public responds "we hate this" and they choose to do it anyway? Don't they do focus groups? Didn't they anticipate that people are disgusted by a touch interface on their keyboard+mouse system?
I'm fascinated and horrified but I'm also pleased because I am not fond of Microsoft, but what the hell do they think they are doing?
I knew there would be at least one comment downplaying this story.
This is a tiny move on Google's part with huge ramifications.
Android has been a huge success, I read that it has something like 80% of the market share of mobile devices, but that statistic was probably made up.
When Grandma opens an email on her tablet thing that her IT grandson told her to get so that he could stop supporting her Windows computer, she's going to be opening the word attachment using Google software - and then possibly editing it and sending it back - using Google software.
Microsoft gets nothing, they are removed from the loop.
The default office suite on Android could be as important as the default web browser on Windows - and we know what a ruckus that caused.

Cruise Ship Berthed at Quai du Commerce pier, Port of Nice, France. Alternatively ships anchor in neighboring Villefranche bay, and passengers are tendered into Villefranche-sur-Mer tender port. There's a regular train service between Villefranche and Nice.
Old Town (Nice)
Lying between the Promenade des Anglais and Boulevard Jean Jaures sits Nice's Old Town, which ouzes charm and character. Many of the buildings date back to the 16th century, and the visitor will find narrow, cobblestone streets, pretty squares, busy markets, Baroque churches and a riot of pastel-colored houses. After you've wandered around exploring, you'll find a great choice of restaurants and cafes for a relaxed meal.
Promenade des Anglais (Nice)
The seafront of Nice boasts a long 4 mile walkway, the Promenade des Anglais, ideal for a gentle stroll. Behind the promenade lies a busy road, and behind that a whole series of grand hotels built in the early 1900s. Of the hotels, many people think the Negresco to be the finest, with its magnificent Napoleon and Empire décor.
Matisse Museum (Nice)
Henri Matisse lived in Nice from 1918 until 1954. At the Matisse Museum, situated on the hill of Cimiez, about a mile north of Nice's center, see a wonderful myriad of works left by the artist (and his heirs) to the city.
Plage de la Mariniere (Villefranche)
At Villefranche, tenders dock at the Quai de l'Amiral Ponchardier. A short walk inland leads you to Villefranche's charming old quarter, or a short walk to the right along the bay takes you to Villefranche's welcoming town beach, Plage de la Mariniere. Underfoot it's coarse sand, far more pleasant than than Nice's pebbly beach. Around you there's a beautiful view of the bay, dotted with ships and surrounded by attractive seafront houses. Restrooms, showers, restaurants and bars are all available. The train station is just behind the beach, and offers a regular service to Nice (5 minutes), or Monaco (10 minutes).
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild (Villefranche)
The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild commands a spectacular view from its position on the hilltop above the east side of Villefranche bay. Sample the life of the rich and glamorous as you tour this glitzy French Riviera Palazzo and its nine superb gardens. Art aficionados will love the collection displayed in the palace - the Baroness Ephussi de Rothschild cultivated a network of art dealers and experts, buying works of art from all over the globe, transforming the Villa into an art lover's paradise.

Flood updates: More rain on the way
2:36pm Saturday 22nd December 2012 in News
FLOOD warnings are still in place around Worcestershire as weathermen warn of more rain to come.
Road under water around the county this afternoon include the Hanley Road at Upton, the B4080 at Eckington and the C2022 Jubilee Bridge at Fladbury.
In Worcester itself, Hylton Road was closed to traffic this morning as water came up through drains, and the Environment Agency is working to pump away the water. The Pitchcroft car park is partially flooded and the South Parade area is under water.
The Croft Road pay-and-display car park is also reported as closed due to flooding.
Further afield the M50 was partially closed near its junction with the A417, and north of the city, the A38 at Wychbold and A4133 at Ombersley are reported to be just passable.
The Met Office is currently warning of outbreaks of rain continuing through the afternoon, again heavy at times. These outbreaks will also continue in many areas through the evening. However, the rain will slowly ease overnight, with most places becoming dry by dawn.

Consider sharing accommodation co-ordinated between three countries if you like a more static lifestyle but still have the will to try something different.
After all, what have you got to lose - your house?!

- About Us
Local, state and federal government agencies need to be more efficient to better serve citizens. Compliance with regulations and policies require agencies to keep records for several years, consuming human resources and increasing costs. docSTAR government document management improves document retention timelines and provides instant access to any document; including invoices, contracts, personnel records, correspondence, compliance forms, spreadsheets, manuals, and citizen records.
"Delivering relevant information in real time." docSTAR defines this outcome as "Situational Awareness". Historically, the most common means of obtaining situational awareness would be to identify what information is required for the mission and search through printed material, data repositories, Web links, news media, and voice communication. As many of you know, this manual process is very time-consuming and may not produce timely results. As such, IT infrastructure and systems have to be developed to collect data and information from disparate sources, process the data into logical outputs, and push it to the user to make better and more informed decisions. The systematic process of obtaining the right information at the right place and time is optimized by geographic information system (GIS) technology like MapConnect with document management from docSTAR.
docSTAR and MapConnect are essential technologies for providing personnel with enhanced situational awareness. Data and information stored or hyperlinked via a geo-database provides intuitive, actionable information in the context of a map, and in real time.
docSTAR MapConnect 2.0 is a GIS Document Management solution that provides a central place for government organizations and businesses to easily view specific Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial information and related documents in seconds for better planning and management. Users can easily access GIS layers and instantly locate and display both GIS maps, data, and docSTAR documents all with the click of a button. Linking land and asset based documents to their geographic features speeds up retrieval and allows for immediate access in cases of emergency. In addition, docSTAR is GSA schedule 70 approved, so federal agencies can purchase docSTAR MapConnect through a Service-Disable Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) contract.
docSTAR MapConnect 2.0 is a web application that amplifies the capabilities of non-technical people, granting seamless access to documents stored in docSTAR and GIS information through an intranet portal. The MapConnect suite includes three applications that seamlessly integrate with ESRI ArcGIS software.
