Republicans Do Not Support Our Troops
by Karl Frisch, Wed Sep 22, 2010 at 04:11:08 PM EDT
This week, Republicans in the Senate successfully showed their collective contempt for our men and women in uniform and in the process they made our military weaker and our country less safe.
Led by John McCain -- the upper chamber's cranky uncle -- Republicans blocked Democratic efforts to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the ban on gay men and lesbians openly serving in the military.
If McCain's comments after the repeal effort failed are any indication, members of the Grand Old tea Party fail to grasp the finer details of the policy or how it has been implemented. Worse still, they are defiant in their ignorance.

Windows component store corrupt - error 800737
Likes # 0
Posted October 27, 2012 at 1:32PM
Windows 7 update is stuck at last check for updates on 25th June on this laptop belonging to a friend. Tried running the System Update Readiness Tool but the Hotfix for Windows KB947821 it wants to install first always fails, and you can't say no to this or it says process aborted by user.
Some other sites discuss copying files from another PC, which I don't have as I have a Mac. Also registry editing. Is there any way to fix this without doing either?
Win 7 SP1 isn't installed. Tried downloading it (as Win Update won't find it) but it won't run - the same 800737 error and advises downloading the SURT as above. The error again is Windows component store corrupt.
Win Update constantly wants to install 3 important updates, suspiciously all the same minute size of only 15kb - KB2676562, 2679255 and 2709715 from April, May and June 2012. These appear to install ok and go into the update history, but then show again and again as needing to be installed - clearly all related to the corrupt component store.

Even winter can't halt bedblocking progress at county hospitals
10:30am Tuesday 15th January 2013 in Countywide By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
STAFF at Oxfordshire's hospitals have been praised for continuing to reduce the number of bedblockers, despite encountering the busiest time of the year.
In March last year, the month's average number of bedblockers – patients who are fit enough to be discharged, but are stuck in hospital because the next phase of their care is not ready – was 191.
This was reduced to 115 by July and the average figure for December was 100, although this total still needs to be confirmed by the Department of Health.
Despite the increase in the number of patients they had to deal with in the winter, the county's health workers have been thanked for the way they have worked together and reduced bedblocking. On the weekend of January 5-6, all 1,200 main hospital beds across the county were full. Some non-emergency operations were cancelled, with Oxfordshire's NHS services under severe strain from winter health problems such as respiratory illnesses, flu and pneumonia.
In September 2011, Dr Stephen Richards, chief clinical officer at Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said he was tackling the county's bedblocking crisis head-on.
It was announced a new Acceptable Care for Everyone (Ace) board would for the first time oversee a pooled budget, and top clinicians looked at how to simplify patients' journeys between health bodies.
Following the latest figures, Dr Richards said: "I am encouraged by the decrease in the number of patients staying too long in hospitals across Oxfordshire – it is a testament to the whole system working together.
"Everyone from GPs to South Central Ambulance Trust teams to staff from across health and social care services have played their part and worked more closely and efficiently."
Trust bosses aim to reduce the average bedblocking figure to 76 by the end of March but, due to current high demand for beds, they fear they could miss their target.
Paul Brennan, pictured, the trust's director of clinical services, said at the trust board meeting last week he was not certain if the target for bedblocking – known as delayed transfers of care – would be met.
He said: "We have made positive steps, but can I positively say by March that it will be 76 with the level of activity coming through the doors? No I can't.
"Despite a very difficult period over the last couple of months, staff from across Oxfordshire's health and social care organisations have made a very positive contribution to the reduction of delayed transfers of care.
"Thanks to the collaborative work of staff in Oxford's acute hospitals, in community hospitals and social care teams, we have been able to reduce the number of patients who are waiting to leave either an acute or community hospital bed for the next stage of their care."
Oxford Health Foundation NHS Trust, which runs community hospitals, has a re-ablement team to ensure people who leave hospital are helped back to health and independent living.
Last year, there was a problem recruiting enough staff, and in September £1m was injected into the service to ease the bed-blocking crisis.
In June the service, paid for by Oxfordshire County Council and is delivered by Oxford Health Foundation NHS Trust, had 47 staff vacancies out of 110 full- and part-time positions.
This has now been reduced to 15.
In July last year, there were 115 people stuck in hospital beds unnecessarily, down from 151 in June, and down from 175 at the peak of the problem ins October 2011.
The August 2012 average figure was 117, September 2012 was 144, October 2012 was 108, November 2012 was 88 and December 2012 was 100.
It costs the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust about £5m a year in staffing extra beds set up for bedblockers.

Grunden Skip says...
Something MUST be done about this term "BEDBLOCKERS" as it is insinuating that the patient is preventing another patient from being treated, when in fact it is The NHS that are keeping them there. My Mother passed away last October, and shortly after My very elderly Father was admitted to hospital, after he was well enough to leave the hospital, but not well enough to care for himself at home, (I work 50 hours a week so cannot be there full time) he himself was pleading to go home, but the hospital would not discharge him as they had nobody to come into his home and give the required care. So he was one of the BEDBLOCKERS that are so maligned in the press for causing problems. Perhaps the real story should be, NHS fails to provide aftercare for patients, and as such fails in their duty to admit new patients. Sorry for the rant, but my Father wanted to go home, and was told that he couldn't, he was not the BEDBLOCKER, but either The NHS, or The Government in not providing the aftercare that he worked all his life for.

I have used ipod nanno 5th generation before and it took me some time to get used to this little beast.
The pros -
(1) Just 30 grams.
(2)16GB is more than enough for my music collection.
(3)EarPods are a nice addition, it fits in your ear like a charm, even a bumpy bike ride couldn't get this out from my ears.
(4)The touch is great and the screen resolution is perfect for the screen size.
The cons -
(1)Missing a video camera, though I didn't use the video camera in 5th generation but it could have been an added advantage.
(2)Apple should have supplied EarPods with volume control.
(3)You c... (Expand)
If you want a real portable music player with lots of storage capacity and you don???t need camera, apps, games or videos, you are going to love it. Its light weighted and so tiny and a great little device at gym or while running. The advantage of the new nano over the previous generation is clearly showing with the easy to use touch interface and the extremely portable size.I like how it has a pedometer :)
First, this ipod nano may look pricey in India, but I got it from US for around 8.5k all inclusive. I have a ipod shuffle, which itself is great product but wanted something with screen. The ipod touch has lot of goodies, but the size is so big that it can't be practically called portable !! And we have iphone, so ipod touch didn't make any sense either. Some may say buy 4g ipod touch than latest nano but then what they don't see is the size. The large size of touch makes it like a phone, which spoils the utility, atleast for me, especially when iphone is there.
What I suggest is, if you a... (Expand)
I had actually ordered nano 6th generation a year ago, but due to some issues i accidentally received ipod nano 7th generation (which is actually 1500 cheaper. lol! :p). So thanks flipkart for that!!
About the product, its simply amazing. There is no doubt about the sound quality of apple products. If you ever have to compare ipod with any other mp3 player, use your favourite song for comparison using different equilizers, because since its your favorite song, you are well aware of all the beats and lyrics. In any ipod you would find all the songs crisp and clear and will just take you alon... (Expand)

A Gloucester man is going to New York to help with the Red Cross's flood relief effort.
Just days after floods from the Otsquago Creek destroyed homes and flooded Fort Plain, N.Y., volunteers, including Ron Beckley of Gloucester, from the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts are accepting deployments to help residents get back on their feet.
Disaster Services Technology specialists are responsible for all the technology that is deployed on disaster relief operations. DST volunteers set up satellites where all phone and internet services have been disrupted, they set up computer services in remote locations for Red Cross caseworkers and often have to repair equipment in crisis situations.
American Red Cross volunteers have served 2,793 meals and snacks, handed out 1,127 bulk items like bleach and insect repellent, 273 comfort kits and 259 clean-up kits.
Beckley, in accepting this deployment, is gaining more experience working with Red Cross experts throughout the U.S. When he returns to Massachusetts, his knowledge will help better inform the local agency's efforts.
People interested in training to become a disaster volunteer or funding this long-term relief effort may contact the Red Cross at 1-800-REDCROSS or RedCross.Org.

The average price of orthodox leaf at Rs 245.71 a kg this week at Sale No. 33 at the auction centre here was higher than last week's (Sale No. 32) Rs 238.43 and much higher than Rs 164.74 in the corresponding sale (No. 33) of last year, according to auctioneers J. Thomas & Company Pvt. Ltd.
The J. Thomas list commanded the higher average price of Rs 267.56 a kg, followed by Parcon, Rs 228.64, Contemporary, Rs 215.27, Associated Brokers, Rs 195.02, Assam Tea Brokers, Rs 140.22 and Paramount, Rs 93.97.
However, the average price of CTC leaf was Rs 148.96 a kg compared with Rs 150.26 at last week's sale (No. 32) and Rs 127.32 at the corresponding sale (No. 33) of the last year. The Assam Tea Brokers' list attracted the highest average price of Rs 167.71 a kg, followed by J. Thomas & Company, Rs 158.84, Contemporary, Rs 152.93, Parcon, Rs 140.38, Paramount, Rs 130.72, S. Chatterjee, Rs 129.38, and Associated Brokers, Rs 128.84.
This week at Sale No. 33, the total offerings (packages) at the three North Indian tea auction centres at Kolkata, Guwahati and Siliguri were 3,11,801 as against 4,21,665 in the corresponding sale of last year.
The offerings at Kolkata comprised CTC/dust 97,718 (1,60,994), orthodox 23,522 (41,209) and Darjeeling 7008 (5961). The corresponding figures for two other centres handling mainly CTC/dust were as follows: Guwahati 97,413 (1,25,748) and Siliguri 86,410 (87,753).
Assam CTCs were barely steady and tended easier. Dooars sold at barely steady and irregularly easier levels. Tata Global was active and there was fair support from Hindustan Unilever. Western India dealers supported the liquoring sorts. North India and local sections were selective. There was good support from the exporters on the larger brokens and fannings.
Orthodox varieties were irregularly lower following quality. There was some continental interest for tippy and liquoring varieties. West Asia and CIS shippers were active.
Darjeeling whole-leaf grades maintained levels. Brokens were firm while fannings sold at dearer rates. Tata Global and Hindustan Unilever were the mainstay. There was useful export enquiry on the fannings.

Officers in the Army possess the skills necessary to lead others through the most challenging of circumstances.
The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) was born when President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act of 1916. Since its inception, Army ROTC has provided leadership and military training at schools and universities across the country and has commissioned more than a half million Officers. It is the largest commissioning source in the American military.
Army ROTC is a diverse group of men and women with more than 20,000 Cadets currently enrolled. Women have been an integral part of Army ROTC since the first group of women were commissioned in 1976. Today, women constitute 20 percent of the Cadets.
Army ROTC has a total of 273 host programs with more than 1,100 partnership and affiliate schools across the country. It produces approximately 60 percent of the Second Lieutenants who join the active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. More than 40 percent of current Active Duty Army General Officers were commissioned through ROTC. Army ROTC provides Cadets with the character-building aspects of a diverse, self-disciplined civilian education with tough, centralized leadership development training.
Army ROTC Facts at a Glance
Army ROTC remains the broadest path for young men and women seeking to serve the nation as officers in the Army. It is the Active Army's largest single source of commissioned officer-leaders.
Army ROTC is the college elective that teaches decision making, management skills, leadership and discipline that will enhance a young man or woman's future success in either the military or a civilian career.
The majority of officers serving in today's Active Army got their start through the Army ROTC program.
Since it was formally organized in 1916, more than a half million men and women have become officers through the Army ROTC program.
More than a half of the General Officers in the Active Component of the Army got their start through the ROTC program.

It's not often we get to say that it snowed all the way from Tucson to Nogales.
But that's just what happened Wednesday when a huge winter storm hit Arizona.
The morning started off with a lot of rain.
It actually snowed in Tucson earlier in the day than it did in Nogales, which is unusual.
While Tucson might not get any snow over winter, Nogales can see half-a-dozen or more dustings of snow in a season.
Finally on Wednesday, the Nogales rain turned into hail. Suddenly flakes began falling from the sky. Some of it was actually sticking.
We also stopped in Tubac where the heavy rain gave way to snow in the afternoon.
With the wet roads, the danger overnight was going to be ice.
Drivers were urged to use caution.

ThruSkin Technologies
University of Georgia, 2003 - $18,750
Thirty-two million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis and spend $2.5 billion annually on various products to deal with it. Until recently, however, individuals with osteoarthritis had no effective treatments for their affliction; their only recourse was pain-killers, usually NSAIDs, which can have serious side effects. Numerous studies over the past decade have shown that glucosamine, a natural sugar, can stop further deterioration of the arthritic joint and even help rebuild the cartilage. Glucosamine has been marketed successfully in pill form, but only 1% of the glucosamine in the pill reaches the affected joint. Topical glucosamine creams are on the market, but none of them are able to get more than 3-5% across the skin barrier. Using novel technology, the Thruskin Technologies E-Team developed a glucosamine-based anti-osteoarthritis topical cream, Rejuvalin, that delivers 70% of the glucosamine across the skin barrier to the damaged joint.
The E-Team consisted of a pharmaceutical PhD student and three MBA students. The team's advisors were a professor of strategy and entrepreneurship, an associate professor of pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences and a pharmaceutical industry consultant.

The Future of HIV Prevention: Truvada PrEP
HIV Infection and AIDS
HIV Infection and AIDS
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes an infection that currently has no cure. The virus affects the immune system and over time, can destroy it to such an extent that acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develops. At this stage, an infected person can no longer fight off other infections and diseases.
Research over the last couple of decades has led to new medicines and treatments that allow people to live with HIV for much longer than ever before, and without developing AIDS.
Transmission and Incidence of HIV
Transmission and Incidence of HIV
HIV is transmitted from one person to another through bodily fluids. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the virus is mostly spread through unprotected sex and the sharing of drug needles in the United States.
The most recent data from the CDC show that the incidence of new HIV infections in the United States in 2010 was around 50,000. Although the number is stable, government agencies such as the CDC hope to bring the number down with new treatments and preventions.
PrEP for Prevention
PrEP for Prevention
Medications for treating HIV have improved. However, prevention is still an important factor in reducing the incidence of the disease. To that end, people who at high risk for developing the virus are encouraged to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
PrEP involves taking daily medication that helps to prevent the transmission of an HIV infection. It also includes other risk-reducing techniques, such as treatment for drug addicts or education about safe sex practices.
FDA Approval of Truvada
FDA Approval of Truvada
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Truvada, the drug being used for PrEP, in 2012. The FDA had already approved Truvada as a treatment used in combination with other drugs to treat patients with HIV.
Truvada must be taken daily as a prophylactic medicine. FDA approved the drug as a preventive measure with the provision that patients must also participate in education and counseling to help reduce their risk of infection.
The Proof Is in the Research
The Proof Is in the Research
The FDA approved the use of Truvada as part of a comprehensive PrEP program because research shows that it can reduce infection rates. One such study from the CDC saw a significant drop in the risk of infection among participants.
The study included 1,200 sexually active men and women. Researchers found that there were 63 percent more infections in the placebo group compared to the group that received Truvada daily.
Truvada for Drug Users
Truvada for Drug Users
Another study from the CDC showed that Truvada PrEP was also effective in preventing infection among intravenous drug users. Over 2,000 drug users participated in this study. The risk of infection in those taking Truvada instead of placebo was reduced by 49 percent.
Some of the participants reduced their risk by an even greater amount. These were the drug users that strictly adhered to the daily pill regimen.
Cost of Prevention
Cost of Prevention
Peace of mind can be expensive. NPR reports that Truvada PrEP can cost as much as $36 a day. Other estimates range from $8,000 to $14,000 a year. Although this cost is high, the cost of treating a patient with AIDS is estimated to be over $25,000 a year.
The good news is that the cost of treatment is often covered by private and public health plans. There are also programs available from the manufacturer and other groups to help offset the high price tag of PrEP for those without health insurance.
Side Effects Can Be Unpleasant
Side Effects Can Be Unpleasant
According to the CDC, early studies have shown that PrEP has a good safety profile. No serious safety concerns emerged in people who have taken PrEP.
Possible side effects of Truvada include stomach pain, headache, and weight loss. If you're taking Truvada with other anti-HIV medications, you may experience symptoms like sleeping problems, dizziness, nausea, or depression. Some people stop taking the drug correctly because of these side effects.
More serious complications include kidney problems, bone thinning, body fat changes, and inflammation.
Are You a Candidate for Truvada PrEP?
Are You a Candidate for Truvada PrEP?
Truvada PrEP is intended for use by anyone who's at a high risk of developing an HIV infection. This includes people who engage in unprotected sex with multiple partners and intravenous drug users who share needles.
Any uninfected person in a relationship with someone who has HIV is also at risk and eligible to use Truvada prophylactically.
Who Can't Use Truvada PrEP?
Who Can't Use Truvada PrEP?
The FDA states that Truvada PrEP should only be used by people known to be HIV-negative. Anyone using the prevention program has to be tested for the virus first and again every three months.
Truvada should not be used by anyone with bone or kidney problems or hepatitis B. The medication may worsen these conditions.
Dropping the HIV Infection Rate
Dropping the HIV Infection Rate
The incidence of HIV infection has hovered steadily around 50,000 for several years. Government agencies like the CDC and FDA hope that the introduction of Truvada PrEP will help to bring this number down.
While a steady number is better than a rise in infections, a drop in HIV incidence would be the best possible outcome.

First public hearing Saturday on proposed Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife RefugeWednesday, September 21st, 2011
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to preserve about 234 square miles of land in south-central Florida.
The first public hearing will be Saturday in Avon Park for the proposed Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge. (The meeting begins at 1 p.m. at the South Florida Community College Theatre for the Performing Arts, 600 W. College Drive, Avon Park). The formal public hearing is set for 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The federal agency hopes to work with landowners to create a 100,000-acre conservation area and a 50,000-acre wildlife refuge by purchasing full or partial interest in the land.
"The conservation value of the Everglades Headwaters is tremendous," said Cindy Dohner, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southeast regional director. "Working with great partners like the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and private landowners, the opportunities are enormous to preserve and restore wildlife and their habitats, provide additional outdoor recreation, improve water resources and help sustain the ranching heritage, economy and land stewardship in Central Florida."
The federal agency's goals seem laudable, and the opportunities for outdoor recreation sound interesting.
For more information on the Everglades Headwaters plan, go to www.fws.gov/southeast/evergladesheadwaters.
A second public meeting on the proposal is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Exhibition Building at Osceola Heritage Park, 1901 Chief Osceola Trail, Kissimmee.

It's a sad sad week. Longtime supporters of Om and friends, Fat Beats has announced that they are closing their New York and Los Angeles locations. The indie hip hop retailer was once a mecca for a massive collection of beats ranging from mainstream to the underground. They were the go to people for anything hip hop related. The NYC store is closing on September 4th and the Los Angeles store on September 18th.
Fat Beats definitely held it strong. Mad love for Mark, Chris, Johnny, and the rest of the Fat Beats retail crew!

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
As Anderson Preparatory Academy Commandant Robert Guillaume puts it, "no place is fail-safe."
Parents and educators were tragically reminded of that in December in Newtown, Conn., when Adam Lanza, 20, entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children, before he killed himself.
In Madison County, schools immediately began reviews of facility safety measures and crisis plans. Some sent updated blueprints to police, so that officers would have quick facility access in the event of a shooting or hostage situation.
Liberty Christian Schools in Anderson has a detailed plan, and every teacher and employee must sign a form to acknowledge they have read it, according to interim Superintendent Lisa Huff.
"We have always felt very confident in our crisis plan," she said, adding that the Madison County Emergency Management Agency has used the plan as an example for other schools.
But, Huff added, the Sandy Hook shootings heightened awareness and reminded educators that such a tragedy can happen anywhere.
According to the School-Associated Violent Death Study, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control from 1999 — the year two students in Littleton, Colo., murdered 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves — to 2006, 116 students were killed in 109 separate incidents in the United States.
Sandy Hook was the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, following the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 32 lives in April 2007.
While there's a need to take safety precautions, school officials said, there's also a need to quell student fear.
Gayle Gernand, principal of East Elementary in Pendleton, provided the following counsel to her staff:
"We need to be prepared. We need to know how to respond and protect. School needs to be a safe place, and it should provide a nurturing and supportive environment. I believe that it is extremely important that while in the process of creating a safer school environment for our children, that we do not plant fear, distrust and apprehension in them. Children should not be anxious or fearful about attending school."
Frankton-Lapel and Elwood Community schools installed buzzer-and-camera systems at school facility entrances shortly after Sandy Hook. The systems stop visitors outside and enable office personnel to determine whether to "buzz" them into the building. Both districts also added or replaced internal camera monitoring systems.
In addition to those changes, Frankton-Lapel Superintendent Bobby Fields said, teachers now teach with classroom doors locked.
"It's not convenient during the school day," he acknowledged. "But it's unfortunately, in this day and age, a necessary thing to do," In the aftermath of Sandy Hook, government officials and school and police officials across the country have discussed the possibility of adding armed security guards or arming teachers.
In Terre Haute, the Vigo County School Board has approved plans to place an armed police officer in each school at a cost of $353,000 a year. The schools would pick up half the cost and the county the other half. Vigo County Council has not yet approved the plan.
Officials at Liberty Christian and Frankton-Lapel have discussed adding armed guards at their facilities but have not acted on it.
Alexandria-Monroe Community Schools Safety Coordinator Scott Zent said officials there work "hand-in-hand" with local police, who do building walkthroughs when in the vicinity. Some school systems, such as Anderson Community and Elwood, have had police officers in their buildings part time since before the tragedy at Sandy Hook.
In South Madison Community Schools, the district's safety team is "working with local police departments to begin developing training for teachers and staff concerning how to react should there be an intruder and/or active shooter," according to Mark Matlock, SMCS director of support services.
Anderson Preparatory collaborated with the Anderson Police Department SWAT team to hold a mock shooting with student and parent volunteers in January — an event Anderson Police Chief Larry Crenshaw said was historic for Madison County.
"Parents are sending their kids to school hoping they come back," APA sophomore Veronica Marquez said shortly after the mock shooting.
Some schools, such as Anderson Community, conducted safety drills before winter break. Others, including Frankton-Lapel, staged drills after break. Alexandria's Zent said the goal of such drills is to ensure "everyone is on the same page and knows what to do."
APA's Guillaume and other local school officials said they would continue to upgrade and review procedures to be as safe as possible.
While local school officials agree that no measures can ensure absolute safety, Fields added that schools will continue to reflect, review and "pray nothing ever happens."

From the Otsego Herald
for Saturday, Sept. 5, 1812
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
Weather: Utica 1812 Almanack: Variable weather.
Bad News! Fall of Detroit
By Major DARBY NOON, who passed through this village, express to Albany, we have received the heart-rending intelligence that the gallant General HULL and his brave army have capitulated and become prisoners to the British! The unfortunate General is a prisoner at Fort-Erie.
We have not learnt all the details of this dreadful disaster — but it would appear from the following extracts from the Buffalo Gazette that there had been considerable skirmishing between our troops and the British. Since the date of these accounts, the British pressed upon Gen. Hull and drove him back near to Detroit; there a short engagement ensued and the American Northwest Army surrendered to the British, consisting of 1000 Indians and 800 regulars
The causes of this deplorable event were the want of sufficient force, the scarcity of provisions, and the unhealthy state of the troops, there being but eight hundred effective men out of 2500. — The sickness of the troops was unquestionably owing to the want of proper provisions. — Utica Gazette.
COMMENT: Most American troops at Detroit were agreed that the real cause was the cowardice of the elderly General William Hull(1753-1825), who surrendered without firing a shot. Among other things he was terrified of the British Indians led by the Chief Tecumseh. Hull was court-martialed, and sentenced to be shot, but his sentence was remitted by President Madison.
The British Account
The pleasing task has now fallen to our lot, in conformation of the uniform predictions of the Bee, to announce to the public the important intelligence of the capture of Detroit with General Hull and all his army, on the 16th (August) together with the Adams vessel of war, and other naval force.
The following is the substance of an official communication, addressed to Col. Myers, upon the subject — the despatches having been forwarded to his Excellency Sir George Prevost, by way of York.
On the night of the 13th inst General [Isaac] Brock arrived at Amhurstburgh, with a reinforcement of 400 men, including militia and regulars, and immediately proceed[ed] to make arrangements for advancing to Sandwich, which the enemy had evacuated a few days before.
On the evening of the 15th a fire was opened from our batteries and continued for an hour with great effect, and recommenced before day on the morning of the 16th, from three mortars, one eighteen pounder and two twelve pounders, at which our troops crossed the river under cover of the Queen Charlotte and Hunter brig, at a point called Spring Wells, about three miles below Detroit, proceeded by a body of 600 Indians who were landed a mile lower down and marched through some thick woods with the intention of covering the left flank.
The landing was effected in good order without any opposition, the General being among the first boats. — Our army consisted of 700 men advanced in a column and took up a good position about a mile and a half in front of Detroit — every preparation was made for the assault of the Fort at one of the sallent [sic - salient] angles, which would have taken place in a few minutes had not a white flag been perceived coming from the garrison, the bearer bringing proposals from the exterminating [sic - ironic?] Gen. Hull, offering to surrender upon conditions which were soon dictated in General Hull's tent by Captain Clegg and Colonel M'Donnell, A.D.C. to General Brock. —
A detachment of General Hull's army of 400 men, under the command of Col. M'Arthur, who were on their return to the Fort, were included in the capitulation.
The fruits of this achievement have been the capture of 2500 regulars and militia, and twenty-five pieces of ordnance and other valuable stores, artillery, &c. without the loss of one drop of British blood. — Niagara Bee, August 22.
COMMENT: This appears to be an accurate account of the fall of Detroit, undoubtedly the worst defeat suffered by America during the War of 1812.
Troops Leave Boston
On Thursday a detachment of about 400 U.S. troops from Forts Independence and Warren, under the command of Lieut. Col. JOUS L. TUTTLE, marched through this town on their way to Albany.
They consisted of Infantry and artillery, and were followed by a long train of artillery apparatus, for 30 pieces of Cannon, besides cassons [sic- caissons] of fixed ammunition, travelling forges, tent equipages, baggage waggons, &c. drawn by four horses — 190 horses besides the officers' were in the train — the whole together made an interesting and novel sight to the citizens of Boston and called up the National feelings of every true American. — Boston Post
Troops from Albany
Yesterday marched from their rendezvous in this city a detachment from Gen. DODGE's brigade of drafted militia. They have gone to the western frontier — they were accompanied out of town by the Albany band of musicians, and marched with cheerfulness to the defence of their western brethren. This detachment is composed of drafts from the several counties — and promises fair [sic] distinguish itself in the hour of trial. — Albany Register, August 28.
COMMENT: Many American militia units refused to cross into Canada and fight there, on the grounds that they were legally obliged to fight only in their home state.
Last Sunday evening, two native Americans, living in Canada, embarked in a crazy boat....they... safely arrived at 4 mile point, above this village. — Buffalo Aug. 18

Stuttgart claimed an important victory and there was drama in Hamburg and Wolfsburg during an afternoon of surprises in Germany, although the biggest winners of the day were Jürgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund. Victory against Leverkusen put BVB thirteen points clear at the top, and Stuttgart's hard-fought one-nil win over Mainz ensures that the gap between first and second will remain at least twelve points even if Hannover win in Frankfurt tomorrow. The three points also move Bruno Labbadia's side up from seventeenth into sixteenth, three points from safety.
Bayern Munich's away troubles continued in Wolfsburg as they conceded an equalizer in the eighty-sixth minute, meaning they've kept just one clean sheet on their travels this season. Philipp Lahm missed a penalty for Bayern and Thomas Kraft saved another from Grafite, but even a sixty-five minute spell from Arjen Robben wasn't enough for the champions, who remain in fifth.
Sixth-place Freiburg had the chance to leapfrog Bayern with a win against St. Pauli at the Millerntor-Stadion, but the hosts managed to score twice and Freiburg only escaped with a point thanks to a pair of goals from Papiss Cissé, his fourteenth and fifteenth in the league this season. Borussia Mönchengladbach started the second half of the season off with an unexpected victory in Nürnberg; an early goal from Roman Neustäder was the difference after Javier Pinola's late penalty was saved by Christofer Heimeroth. A stoppage-time goal from Torsten Frings was just enough to give Werder Bremen a win against Hoffenhiem, only a few minutes after it had looked like Boris Vukcevic had given the visitors a share of the points.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Hawks have waived forward James Johnson.
The 6-foot-9 Johnson appeared in four preseason games for the Hawks, averaging 1.5 points and 12 minutes per outing. He shot just 16.7 percent from the field.
Last season, Johnson played 26 games for Sacramento. He also has played for Chicago and Toronto in his four-year NBA career.
The waiving of Johnson leaves 17 players on Atlanta's training camp roster.

---- — SALEM, N.H. — Police are searching for a Methuen man who allegedly tried to murder a woman at a local motel Saturday evening.
Walton F. Valentin, 30, with a last known address in Methuen, faces multiple charges after an incident at Park View Inn that left a woman with severe head injuries, Deputy police Chief Shawn Patten said.
Valentin is considered armed and dangerous, Patten said.
The victim told police the incident started in Lawrence, where Valentin jumped into her minivan and held a gun to her stomach. He threatened to kill her family in the Dominican Republic, Patten said.
The two traveled to Salem and, once in the motel room, Valentin allegedly pointed the gun at the woman and pulled the trigger. The gun jammed, Patten said, and Valentin choked the woman and struck her repeatedly in the head with the gun.
The victim was knocked out but called police when she regained consciousness. She was taken to Parkland Medical Center in Derry for treatment.
Police later found her stolen van in Andover.
Salem, Lawrence and Methuen police are still searching for Valentin, Patten said. He has numerous active warrants in Massachusetts, according to police.
The warrants for his arrest from Salem include charges of attempted second-degree murder, second-degree assault, kidnapping with injury, criminal threatening, violation of a protective order and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Registration in Law Classes for Non-Law Students
Autumn 2014-2015 Pre-Registration Dates: Monday, July 14 to Friday, July 25, 2014
See Non-Law Student Course Registration
AXESS – Online Registration
The Law School uses AXESS, the University's online registration system for pre-registration and for adding and dropping courses during the add/drop period.
Enrollment Options for Law School Classes
Instructors can open their courses to all interested students (open enrollment) or limit the enrollment of their courses in one of two ways: (1) by lottery or (2) by consent of the instructor.
Open Enrollment Courses
Open enrollment courses are open to all second- and third-year JD students and advanced degree students who have met whatever prerequisites are listed. Winter and Spring courses are open to first-year students at the election of the instructor.
Limited Enrollment Courses
Lottery Courses
For some courses, the students able to enroll are determined by a lottery conducted by the Registrar's Office during the pre-registration period (i.e., in April for autumn quarter, in mid-October for winter quarter and in mid-February for spring quarter). Students who are not selected for the course are placed on a waiting list.
Admitted students must attend the first class session or inform the instructor in advance of their intention to enroll. At that class meeting, the instructor will note the attendance of those admitted to the class, those who are on the wait list, and those who wish to be added to the wait list. If an admitted student is absent without having informed the instructor, the instructor will replace that student with the highest student on the wait list who has attended the first class session or who has informed the instructor in advance of his or her intention to enroll. If an instructor has admitted you to their course from the waitlist or as a new student to a lottery/limited enrollment class, you must fill out and submit the Law Student Lottery-Limited Course Add Request Form to the Registrar's Office to enroll in the class.
If a student wishes to be added to the wait list, he or she should see the Registrar's Office. Students cannot be admitted to the class except off the waiting list, and students will be admitted in the order that they are listed.
- 2014-2015 Autumn - Add Request Form for Lottery and Paper Option Courses (TBA)
Consent of Instructor Courses
The instructors will admit students to these limited enrollment courses and create a waiting list for students who do not get admitted initially. Interested students may apply for consent of instructor courses by submitting a consent request or a consent application form to the instructor. See course description for detailed instructions.
After the consent requests or applications have been processed and reviewed, you will be notified by either the instructor or the Registrar's Office of the results of each application you filed: acceptance, waiting list, or rejection. Please note that some instructors may require students notified of acceptance to accept or reject the placement.
Consent applications posted by the Registrar's Office are available below.

Get Custom Field value of Page upon custom menu link hover.
Hello there,
I have a site that I built outside of word press and am trying to integrate it so that a client can update it, but alas, i'm more designer than developer.
I'm trying to work out how to get the custom field of a page when you hover over a link to that page in a custom menu.
This is what I have a them moment:
$('.menu a').hover( function(){ $('body').stop().animate({'backgroundColor': '#c1c4c9'},300); $(this).css({'color': 'rgba(255,255,255,0.9)'}); }, function () { $(this).css({'color': 'rgba(0,0,0,0.2)'}); });
I want to be able to replace the color values dynamically so that the end user can set the color from a custom field and have it fed through to a function like the one above.
I know it's not semantically correct; wrappers & enqueue etc, however at this stage i'm just trying to figure out if what I'm trying to do is possible.
I'd be really grateful of any help you can give me.
Many thanks!

Facing the end-of-session deadline, Indiana legislators moved forward on a bill to overhaul the state's criminal sentencing laws but left undone the issue of where local communities will get the money to implement it.
The House voted Thursday to approve a compromise version of the bill, designed to divert thousands of low-level offenders out of state prisons and back into local jails, probation departments, and community treatment programs.
A budget deal also reached Thursday contains $6.4 million to help local communities absorb extra costs of the new sentencing laws that would go into effect July 1, 2014. But falls far short of $30 million recently requested by the bill's supporters.
"We do not intend for this to be an unfunded mandate to the locals," said Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, who authored House Bill 1006.
Steuerwald said the issue of funding will need to be taken up by a legislative study committee this summer, since Friday is expected to be the last day of the 2013 session.
As House Bill 1006 made its way though the session, it was stripped of funding. Not until this week, after county officials from around the state flooded their legislators with calls and emails, was money for local programs put in the budget bill.
Andrew Berger, head of government relations for the Association of Indiana Counties, said the lack of funding alarmed local officials who'd come to see the bill as little more than cost-shifting by the state to local governments.
"All along, the bill's supporters said that if the locals aren't given the resources, this isn't going to work," Berger said. "Well, then I guess it's not going to work."
House Bill 1006 rewrites the state's felony criminal code to raise penalties for the violent and sex crimes and decrease penalties for low-level property and drug crimes.
The goal was to keep the worst criminals in prison and give judges the discretion to send low-level offenders into intensive local probation, work-release, or addiction-treatment programs to keep them from cycling back into crime.
But Berger said local communities can't afford to pick up the all the extra costs. Few county jails have drug-treatment programs, the probation rolls in counties are already crowded, and there are counties in Indiana that have no community-corrections programs, he said.
"Without the money to make this work, what's the point of the bill?" Berger said.
State Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Portage, who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, had attempted to get $30 million in additional funding for local governments impacted by the bill: $10 million to expand community corrections, $10 million for local drug and alcohol treatment programs, and $10 million for county probation departments to hire and train more probation officers.
"I pushed that really hard," Tallian said. Instead, the final budget bill includes an additional $4 million for community corrections, $250,000 for probation training and $2 million for drug and alcohol treatment programs.
The bill's authors remain hopeful that the funding issue can be resolved before the law goes into effect in 2014. But they face a challenge of trying get more money from the legislature during a non-budget year. State Rep. Tim Brown, the chief Republican budget-maker in the House, said there's been conflicting opinions about the fiscal impact of House Bill 1006.
While the Legislative Services Agency has said the legislation will eventually lower the prison population and save the state money, the state Department of Correction came out with its own analysis that said the prison population will skyrocket, because of the bill's longer prison sentences for the worst offenders.
Still, the bill's backers remain hopeful that the legislation can be improved upon in the next legislative session.
Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, a co-author of the bill, called House Bill 1006 "the scaffolding on which we'll build a better criminal justice system."
"We've got a lot more work to do," Pierce said.

Railway/metro would be generally better used for bringing the country commuters in rather
than for hauling city-based people around town, exceptions being the Uni and Shannon
AP/Ind Estate runs.
Cutting the Tralee line at NCW and earmarking the same line as a bypass route for Adare
were cardinal errors.
Never mind the fact that a good many parts of that line needed upgrading, having a
continuous run from Limerick to Tralee and thence Fenit would always hold internal
traffic and tourist potential.
On your map there are large blocks of the city within which people would have a long old
walk to the nearest rail/metro stop.
Small local bus + rail/metro is too expensive and too slow.
Around town, I think that bus is the cheapest option.
