digitizing tabletAn input device that enables you to enter drawings and sketches into a computer. A digitizing tablet consists of an electronic tablet and a cursor or pen. A cursor (also called a puck) is similar to a mouse, except that it has a window with cross hairs for pinpoint placement, and it can have as many as 16 buttons. A pen (also called a stylus) looks like a simple ballpoint pen but uses an electronic head instead of ink. The tablet contains electronics that enable it to detect movement of the cursor or pen and translate the movements into digital signals that it sends to the computer.
For digitizing tablets, each point on the tablet represents a point on the display screen in a fixed manner. This differs from mice, in which all movement is relative to the current cursor position. The static nature of digitizing tablets makes them particularly effective for tracing drawings. Most modern digitizing tablets also support a mouse emulation mode , in which the pen or cursor acts like a mouse.
Digitizing tablets are also called digitizers, graphics tablets, touch tablets, or simply tablets.

Poured into a flute glass. Pours a very dark mahogany brown with a thin light tan head that dissipates to a ring around the glass. Nice aroma of toasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is toasted malt, charred coffee and chocolate, light grassy hops. Medium bodied. A nice ale on the border between porter and brown ale, but with more char and chocolate than usually encountered in those two styles. I'm not sure that Euro dark lager is really very accurate for this more complex dark ale.

Poured from a 22 ounce bottle into an DFH signature glass. Bottled February 2013.
A: Fluffy, pitted off-white head with incredible lacing. Opaque dark-brown body.
S: Smoky, meaty, roasted malt. Light and pleasant!
T/O: Really more porter-ish than anything. Meaty-thick, smoky-lingering-pleasant. The aftertaste is bitter, edging on metallic. The lagering yeast is nearly undetectable beneath such an intense, characteristic flavor. Incredibly interesting.
M: Substantial! Thick. Nourishing.

The beer pours a vigorous light tan head. The beer itself a nice dark obscure black with a purplish tinge to it.
A strong nut and toffee smell with bits of roasted malt and dark chocolate. However, the toffee smell dominates the others.
The toffee is less dominate than it is in the smell. I get little bits of roasted malt and dark chocolate with a smoky aftertaste.
Biting carbonation with a really smooth feel to it. The beer feels like its slipping down my tongue.
The beer style reminds of a porter with its chocolate and toffee tastes and smells. Overall, St. Winny is an okay beer but I'll probably lose her number.

Pours a two finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Dark brown color, mahogany highlights. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is light coffee and chocolate, flavor is malty chocolate, light bakers chocolate at finish. $7.99 for a 22oz bottle from Julio's Liquors Westborough, MA.

4.09/5 rDev +4.6%
Bottled in February of this year.
A: Pours a nice dark brown with a big fluffy, very very light brown head. Head is almost tan by the time it fully recedes. Head fades very very slowly with great retention. Lots of fluffy lines of lacing left behind.
S: Very porter-ish. Chocolate and a little smoke. Some toasted malt. Has some aspect that I can't quite describe properly - floral maybe?
T: A little chocolate with some nice toasted malt. Hint of smoke. Gives it an almost-burnt bread flavor. Nutty in the middle. Has some grassy, maybe piney hops in the finish. Not IPA-level, just a hint.
M: Medium bodied, super smooth drinking.
O: Surprisingly good brew. It's basically an english brown lager. Toasted malt, nuttiness, a little smoke. Lagering it seems to have made it super smooth though, thus extremely drinkable. Great variety and balance of flavors. I enjoy brown ales in general so I'm a little biased. Another nice beer from Pretty Things.

The beer pours a dark brown, and sits in the glass as almost black with a deep maroon tint to it and a rocky finger width sandy head made of medium sized bubbles that smooth out on top to create a creamy texture. The body is lager clean and full of racing bubbles that refill the head. The beer's lacing is dry and sticky on the sides of the glass, leaving thick sheet on the glass. On the nose, the beer smells warmly roasty with hints of coffee, bakers chocolate, and nice nutty scents. Theirs a slight metallic tinge to the smell, presumably coming from the lager yeast. It is a pleasing yet clean smell. On the tongue, the beer tastes roasted sweet and bitter with a faint hint of an acidic tingle. The balance between hoppy bitter and a roasted bitter seems to be well played out in this beer. The flavor begins with roasted nut flavors and a touch of char. The finish is oddly dampered and mellow compared to the rest of the taste, bringing light sweet bread flavors to mind with a hint of raisin and date dark fruit flavors. The aftertaste returns to the roast of the malts, which touch slightly charred flavors. As the beer warms, the dark fruit flavors rise in the mouth and linger in the aftertaste. On the mouth, the beer feels clean and crisp on the mouth. It feels on the high end of light in body, and leaves the mouth with a nice light dry roast in the mouth. Overall, this is a lovely dark lager with some really nice roasty malt qualities. I think its timing in release is perfect, as Pretty Things releases it just as winter begins to loosen its grip on the land. The beer is light and drinkable, but with some lovely dark beer roast flavors and nuances. The touch of dark fruit on the finish adds a lovely layer of complexity to this beer, and reminds me slightly of Triple Bag by Long Trail, on lighter. This beer is delicious and quite drinkable. Try it.

Dark chestnut with a 1" dense tan/beige cap that produced solid sheets of very sticky lace. Good head retention too. Enjoyable aroma with a rich maltiness, dry roast and floral notes, a bit of yeasty sharpness, a bit nutty with a hint of toffee. Roasty flavour with medium/low bitterness. Light floral hoppiness with bread and malt character nicely balanced to keep it from being overly sweet. Mild toffee and cocoa. Grassy bitterness in the finish. Medium to full body with creamy carbonation, slight astringency. Nice texture overall. This was an enjoyable beer and I would purchase it again. The only thing that seemed slightly out of balance was the pronounced bitterness in the finish.

A Mechanicsville mom pleaded guilty to drugging her 11-year-old son, before attacking him with an ax and setting their house on fire.
The charges against Kim Shepperson include two counts of attempted capital murder, arson and aggravated malicious wounding.
According to an affidavit, Shepperson confessed to drugging her son with Temazempa, a prescription narcotic, to put him to sleep. She then attacked him with an ax and set two fires in their home in February.
Shepperson was home with her three children when the events happened.
You can hear her on the 911 tape say, "Yes, my house is on fire and my son is in the other room and I don't know if he's ok or not."
The dispatcher asks her if someone is trapped.
She says, "I don't know. I don't know. He was asleep in his bedroom," referring to her son. "I don't know. I don't know what happened. I don't know if his room is on fire. "
But in a statement, Shepperson confesses to hitting him with the ax, and burning the home. The prosecutor stated that the boy's wounds show Shepperson held him down while she hit him, and that he was crying "ow and owie".
Inside the courtroom, Kimberly Shepperson was quiet when she addressed the court, even polite, saying 'yes sir' to the judge, and tearful at times when they showed pictures of her children.
In the statement, Shepperson said for a month she'd considered buying a gun to kill them all. She goes on to say,"I took the ax into my son's room and began hitting him over and over again. And then realizing what I had done, I just kept hugging and kissing him."
Shepperson and her two daughters escaped through the bathroom window. Shepperson also mentions being bi-polar, and battling depression.
She says a man named Rob King, who was her friend, gave her the idea. About a month before, King killed himself and his twin daughters, using carbon monoxide and a knife. The murder-suicide happened in Ashland.
The boy that was attacked is now back at school and doing well. The two other children with Shepperson are now with family members.

We are currently setting up a DVB-H streaming environment, which brings some questions on the table:
We have everything in place up to IP level (IP4 and IP6 over DVB-H).
What streaming format use Nokia's 77xx. I have read 3gp, is this correct ? Can I use a standard (Apple, or similar) streaming server and pass 3gp via IP multicast to the streamer ? What is the maximum data rate available for streaming, we have encoded some clips using Quicktime Pro, which has a limit of 192 kbps to convert to 3gp.
Is there any description about streaming with Nokia available ?
Thanks in advance,

My summer in New York has been absolutely amazing. As I'm wrapping up my brand marketing internship, I'm thinking back on the amazing things I got to do (and eat) this summer. Here are some of my favorites. :)
Best thing about wandering around the City: street art
Best thing about New York summers: street fairs + the fresh watermelon they sell there
Best lazy moment: even the grocery store 2 blocks down will deliver to you at 4 in the morning
Best surprise: friends are always dropping by to visit… in a tie with getting hot sauce in the mail
Best outdoor activity: boating in Central Park
Best out of Manhattan activity: walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to DUMBO & hanging out for the day

Tenants in eight Henrico apartments are out of a place to stay and being helped by the Red Cross after fire ripped through their building. This two-alarm blaze was so bad, even firefighters had to evacuate the building. It was too dangerous to take on the flames from inside. Investigators are still looking for the cause of the fire, which required 35 firefighters and ten trucks to get it under control.
There are almost a dozen displaced residents. Most tell us they are thankful they and their pets got out alive and no one was hurt. They now know it could be worse because for one woman in the apartment building when the flames broke out, now it is.
There are some twists of fate almost too heartbreaking to believe. For Pamela Pollard, they came to a head when flames ripped through the apartment building, where she's been staying after fleeing her home in New York.
"I lost everything," she sobbed. "The water, the house just blew away. I had nothing. And my aunt sent for me to come here to stay with her for a couple of days and now she has nothing."
What is now a charred skeleton of an apartment is where Pamela was seeking refuge when a boy practically banged down the door to bring her attention to devastating news.
"When I got up I just see smoke on the balcony and this guy was telling me 'Get out! Get out! Your balcony is on fire,'" she recalled. "I grab what I can grab and I run out of the house."
In a nightmare like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster, she was forced to evacuate yet again. In the front of her mind was a single name: Sandy.
"I just lost everything and I come here thinking I can probably start all over again, try to get some help from my aunt and it's just crazy," she said. "It's like I'm reliving it all over again."
Now, her Aunt Laticia also has nothing. Their shared will to survive bonds them in the face of an unimaginable reality.
"I can't even help her now," Laticia Taylor-Pollard told us. "So she's looking at it like 'What am I gonna do now" but we're going to stick together."
After all, they've made it through worse catastrophes.
"We gonna stick together and just pray about it," Pamela added.
Two units, including Laticia's, are destroyed and six others damaged. She and most of the tenants we talked to, have renters' insurance. They're being helped by the Red Cross now, but don't know where they'll go from here.

William Fleming student Ollie Howie is being recognized for his community service.
He was among the top 10% of all applicants for the Prudential Spirit of Community awards. Based on the number of volunteer hours indicated in his application he qualified for the president's volunteer service award. The award recognizes Americans of all ages to volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country.
He received a letter from President Obama saying in part "thank you for helping to address the most pressing needs in your community and our country."
"It's definitely a pat on the back, definitely something to say that what you've been doing is recognized and is appreciated and you should continue to do it" said Howie.
Howie is involved in multiple organizations including Student Government Association, National Honor Society, Southern Christian Leadership Conference and NAACP. He also started My Brother's Keepers Club in 2001 that helps those less fortunate.
Howie is going to Harvard in the fall where he plans on doing pre-law work before attending law school.

Understanding Medicinal Plants: Their Chemistry and Therapeutic Action
Prof. Bryan Hanson
Instructor's Resource Page for Chapter 5
Key Points
Chapter 5 is divided into three sections. The first discusses the use of solubility and acid-base behavior to help students understand how the polarity of a molecule can be used to extract it from a plant. This section then continues with a description of the process of chromatography as a means of separating an initial extract into increasingly pure fractions, guided by the use of appropriate bioassays. The second section considers how we know the structures of molecules. IR and 13C NMR are discussed as the most accessible techniques for determining the structure of an unknown that might be isolated from a plant (symmetry arguments and the use of a molecular formula are employed as well). For courses in which the audience might be willing to accept that there are methods to determine structure, without worrying about what they are, one could skip over this middle section without doing damage to students' understanding of later topics. In my Medicinal Plants for Poets course, these first two sections are covered in the lab phase of the course.
The third section is a fairly detailed consideration of antioxidants, with an emphasis on lipid damage, the most well studied area. Antioxidants are molecules that appear in advertising and the news frequently as an important health issue, so students are likely to be a bit familiar and quite interested in this topic. The goal of this section, as with the rest of the book, is to show that antioxidants are not some kind of magic. Rather, there are specific processes occuring which degrade the molecules in our body, and there are specific defense mechanisms to at least partially counteract these processes.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of polarity & solubility in the process of extracting
useful compounds from a medicinal plant.
- Be able to compare structures and solvents and determine if a molecule
will dissolve in a given solvent.
- Understand how the acid-base behavior of amines and carboxylic acids
affects their polarity and therefore their solubility, and how this behavior
can be used in an extraction.
- Be able to describe the principles behind chromatography on a molecular
- Understand the process of chromatography and how it can be used to separate
molecules of medicinal interest.
- Be able to describe TLC and HPLC and their respective uses.
- Know why bioassays are useful, and what their limitations are.
- Be able to define the term spectroscopy.
- Understand what is occuring in IR spectroscopy on a molecular level.
- Be able to look at an IR spectrum and identify the functional groups
that may be present, with the aid of a correlation table.
- Know how to use the molecular formula of an unknown molecule and the
formula for the IHD to narrow the range of possible structures.
- Understand how 13C NMR can help determine the structure of an unknown,
using the number of lines in the spectrum, the concept of symmetry, and
the ppm range of different types of carbon atoms.
- Be able to use IR spectroscopy, 13C NMR, and the molecular formula together
to narrow down the structure of an unknown molecule.
- Know that mass spectrometry (MS) is primarily used to give the molecular
mass of an unknown molecule, and realize that this limits the possible
- Be able to describe how chromatographic techniques, combined with spectroscopic
measurements of the amounts of molecules, can be used to construct a calibration
curve to measure the amount of a molecule in a sample.
- Be able to define the following terms in the area of antioxidants: antioxidant,
reactive oxygen species, inflammation (both macroscopic and molecular levels),
primary ROS, in vivo, in vitro, and half-life.
- Be able to recognize a free radical molecule from its Lewis Structure.
- Understand that the reactivity of a molecule depends upon its reaction
partner and the reaction environment (temperature, solvent, concentration),
and that reactivity is primarily a measure of how fast a reaction occurs.
- Understand the relationship between reactivity and selectivity.
- Be able to compare the half-lives of several ROS and tell which one is
most/least reactive.
- Realize that energetically favorable reactions might not occur because
their rate of reaction is too slow.
- Know the two major and three minor sources of ROS in the human body.
- Be able to describe the fluid mosaic model of membranes and why a lipid
bilayer forms.
- Be able to describe several ways in which ROS cause damage to lipids
in membranes, which in turn causes the membrane to be less functional.
- Be able to describe how ROS can damage proteins and nucleic acids.
- Be able to describe the enzymatic and dietary defense systems which operate
in the human body to control ROS damage.
- Be able to describe the causes and process of atherosclerosis.
Teaching Ideas, Activities & Resources
Any number of published articles provide tables of the antioxidant characteristics of various materials which can be used to illustrate their value. Some specific sources you might consider include:

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
By contrast to pricing, which is about a risk average (or central tendency), risk management has to do with the risk tail events over a short-term horizon. This special issue is devoted to the specific statistical and technical challenges that result from the risk management process, such as but not restricted to: (1) how to calibrate a risk management model when historical records report no or few catastrophic tail events (sparse data)? (2) what risk measures can be used on these extreme values when their Pareto-like behaviour prevents the existence of finite means and variances?
In addition to the small number of invited papers that are to appear in this special issue, we are cordially calling for contributed research papers or proposals. We welcome high-quality research papers, review articles as well as communications related to risk management for heavy-tailed risks, in particular on the following topics:
- Catastrophic risks
- Climate change
- Environmental risks
- Operational risk
- Pandemics
- Reinsurance

Shocked, Shocked, that Giuliani Won't Run for Sen
by Jonathan Singer, Mon Dec 21, 2009 at 02:55:48 PM EST
I'm shocked, shocked, to find that Rudy Giuliani won't be running for the Senate in 2010.
So long, Rudy.
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected to announce Tuesday he is not running for U.S. Senate or anything else in 2010, effectively ending his storied - and often stormy - electoral career, The Daily News has learned.
The announcement, at which he'll also endorse Republican Rick Lazio for governor, marks the end of a year-long political dance by Giuliani, who mulled bids for governor and then Senate before backing away from both.
Giuliani has a long history of edging up towards big runs before backing down. In 2008, during his impressively unsuccessful Presidential bid, he pulled out of Iowa and effectively pulled out of New Hampshire. He has even backed out of a race for this very Senate seat before, dropping his 2000 Senate campaign in New York against Hillary Clinton.
Then again, it's probably worth taking this report from the New York Daily News with at least a grain of salt -- they did report just last month that Giuliani would be running for Senate in 2010 in preparation for a 2012 Presidential bid.
Update [2009-12-21 22:8:35 by Jonathan Singer]:The New York Times says no Rudy run, too.

CALERA, Ala. (AP) - The Calera High School Eagle
Band is headed to Washington to march in President Barack Obama's
inaugural parade.
Band director Ryan Murrell said he sent a video to
the inaugural committee in November, and the Calera band got picked to
represent Alabama in the parade.
This is not Murrell's first inaugural parade. He
participated in the parade for President George W. Bush in 2001 as a
student at Homewood High School.
About 140 Calera band members are making the trip to Washington, along with staff and chaperones. They will return on Tuesday.

THE LEVI'S-wearing, gumboot-shod citizens of Alaska's capital, Juneau, don't believe in umbrellas. They're so tough they drip-dry, letting four metres of annual precipitation - mostly rain - soak into the tattered hoodies that the visitors' bureau describes, facetiously, as the local dress.
"Umbrellas are for wimps," the bureau's travel guide states.
The locals must be laughing quietly, then, as 2000-plus passengers file off the MS Westerdam one drizzly morning, a navy blue umbrella branded with the Holland America Line logo waiting for each of them at the end of the gangplank.
From May to September, Juneau's port is a parking lot for giant cruise liners, the locals sharing their alleged summer with tens of thousands of people from around the world, who come for their own slice of northern exposure.
Cruising Alaska is big business. Holland America Line has been doing it since the 1970s, bringing passengers to a cloudy white land of mountains, forests, glaciers and wildlife so abundant that the place seems choked with it.
This seven-night cruise of south-west Alaska's Inside Passage is taking us from Seattle to the tour's northernmost point of Glacier Bay National Park. It then travels south with shore visits to Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan in Alaska, and Victoria in Canada's British Columbia.
Juneau came into being in 1880 when gold was discovered. Just over a century later, the big cruise ships began arriving in force.
"It's like Disneyland," says Alida, a young local, of cruise ship season. The university student guides cruise passengers on walks through the Juneau rainforest to the Mendenhall Glacier, branded as the only glacier in Alaska accessible by car . . . which must be qualified, because Juneau itself, locked away from the rest of North America by the Juneau Icefield, is accessible only by sea or air.
When the last ship slides out of the Gastineau Channel each September, the town has a party, Alida says. Whether it's out of relief or celebration at money made, she doesn't say. Probably a mixture of both. As a bookshop staffer says: "It's better than other things we could be doing, like cutting down the trees."
A slew of seasonal retailers, many of them located along the waterfront, sell souvenirs to the swarms of visitors. They range from quality indigenous Tlingit art work and $US36,000 ($41,800) fur coats, to mass-produced Russian dolls and figures of Alaskan wildlife carved out of whalebone, antler and soapstone.
At Taku, a fish processing factory and restaurant, passengers dine on fresh wild salmon that is billed as the best in the world, then buy the smoked versions to take home. At the Red Dog Saloon, stuffed to the rafters and beyond with memorabilia of the town's prospecting days, period-dressed entertainer Fin Phineas Poole gleefully takes the micky out of a beer-swilling audience that takes it in the spirit in which Fin intends.
"No shit, that was touching," he says from his piano in the corner, on which sits a plastic yellow chicken, after an enthusiastic round of applause for one of his ditties. "You look good - for boat people."
It's a raucous affair. The day before, the largely American population of the MS Westerdam had been a reverent bunch as the ship cruised Glacier Bay, an international wonder with a proliferation of 16 glaciers that have been advancing and retreating for thousands of years.
Sipping on Dutch pea soup and rugged-up against the summer cold, passengers lined the decks while a gentle-voiced National Parks officer provided a commentary over the loudspeaker. Marjorie Glacier hadn't shrunk in seven years, Johns Hopkins was advancing, while Lamplugh was stable.
The ship manoeuvred close to Johns Hopkins. "I can't believe it's so dirty. I expected white," someone said. But the smudges of earth scoured out and carried by the glacier couldn't hide the colours: the glacier was blue, green, grey, purple and rust. As we watched, a slab of ice broke off and crashed into the bay to become another iceberg floating in the silence.
As the ship pulled up to the reliable Marjorie, her face an iridescent blue, someone dressed in a furry dolphin suit turned up on deck.
"Huggie-huggie" the photographer accompanying the dolphin said to passengers as they were accosted for a picture, available for purchase later.
It was a jarring moment, but cruising can be like that when you're venturing into one of the world's most wild and naturally spectacular places.
Alaska has always, in the imagination at least, been frontier land, a place for only the hardiest of humans. Some of that breed we see as distant specks kayaking on Glacier Bay, or in photographs camping on its shores and trekking across the ice.
But the Westerdam is a giant floating luxury hotel. Engagement with the daunting landscape beyond it is purely optional: one woman came out on deck to find her husband after having spent the afternoon in the Greenhouse Spa and Salon. She was admiring her manicure, not the glaciers.
And soon enough it was time for our own retreat indoors, for cocktails in one of the ship's many plush bars before dinner in the Vista Dining Room, where the menu that night included carpaccio of seared ahi tuna and thyme-roasted venison fillet.
It was a lot more appetising than the freeze-dried meals I imagined campers in Glacier Bay National Park might be eating. I knew where I'd rather be. Besides, the cruise line's shore excursions can take you a little way into the wilderness.
A few days later at Ketchikan, a town of 8000 on the island of Revillagigedo, local guide Jared takes just four of us on a speedboat ride far away from the waterfront district which, like Juneau's, seems much more a reflection of the cruise ship industry than the local culture.
On the guided fishing and wilderness dining tour, Carol, Bob, Lonnie and I throw in line after line, with amazing success - or maybe it's not so remarkable in a land of such plenty. The fish - mainly halibut and bright orange Irish lords - keep coming. Lonnie, an ex-high school football coach, lands a nine-kilogram halibut. "I thought I was bringing up the bottom," he says. The sun is shining and we are in the middle of a vast stretch of sparkling water, surrounded by mountains.
Lonnie's halibut eventually becomes lunch, cooked at a wilderness camp where several boatloads converge to eat their catches, which are gutted by our fishing guides, poached by local women on open-air stoves, and served with stew and steaming mugs of hot chocolate.
From Sitka, known as Alaska's Little Russia, the wildlife quest and beach trek carries into pristine Sitka Sound a maximum of 12 people who within 10 minutes are cooing at a pair of sea otters floating on their backs. Before the two-hour ride is up, we have cruised by the St Lazaria Island bird sanctuary, home to half a million birds, and seen a pod of humpback whales and a bald eagle perched high on a white cross among a cluster of memorials to lost fishermen.
Before we disembark for the beach trek on Kruzof Island, part of the Tongass National Forest and blanketed in spruce, hemlock, pine and cedar, our guide Anne warns us: "This is brown bear territory: if you see a bear, blow on your whistle. Don't wander off into the woods by yourself."
No one lets Anne out of their sight.
She wades into pools picking up starfish and crabs, and explains that the prints on the black volcanic sand are from blacktailed deer, who venture to the beach to lick salt. We don't see any; nor any bears. For anyone who's disappointed, there is a giant slug, which Anne picks up, of course.
From our tour boat we can see the hulk of the Westerdam, waiting off Sitka for her passengers to finish their little adventures and come home, where the restaurants are ready to feed, the spa ready to pamper and the crew ready to fulfil every wish.
A perfect end to any day for what the people of Juneau would call a wimp.

Justin Miller - #43 - CB
|5' 11"/ 186 lbs.
|Owensboro, KY
|Years played
|2005, 2nd round, 25th pick by Jets
2011 free-agent tracker, by position
Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
The Detroit Lions have signed Miller and released linebacker Doug Hogue. Detroit made the roster moves before playing Monday night on the road against the Chicago Bears.||||||| Miller hasn't played in the NFL since 2009 when he played in one game for the New York Jets and one with Oakland. Miller had a shot to help Detroit's weak secondary when the season started, but he was among the Lions' final cuts Aug. 31.The Jets drafted Miller in the second round of the 2005 draft and he played in 16 games in each of his first two seasons, making 13 starts without an interception.
The Jets have waived former Pro Bowl cornerback-kick returner Justin Miller a month after re-signing him.||||||| Miller played in one game for New York, but was inactive the last two. There was some concern Miller lacked some of the explosiveness that made him a Pro Bowl pick in 2006. Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff said Friday that he was "pretty sure" Miller would be active and return kicks Sunday against Carolina. He could be replaced by David Clowney, who returned one kick for 37 yards at New England on Sunday.
The New York Jets have re-signed Miller, acquiring a replacement for the injured Leon Washington on special teams.||||||| Miller was a second-round draft pick of the Jets in 2005, and made the 2007 Pro Bowl season after leading the AFC with a 30.1-yard average and two touchdowns on kickoffs. He was waived by the Jets last season and signed with Oakland, which re-signed him for one game before releasing him Nov. 11. Miller has a 26.2 career kickoff return average, and five returns for scores.
The New York Jets placed Pro Bowl kick returner-cornerback Justin Miller on injured reserve Tuesday because of a knee injury.||||||| In Miller's absence, the Jets are expected to use Leon Washington, Brad Smith and Wallace Wright as kick returners. Rookie Darrelle Revis has stepped in as the team's primary right cornerback, the spot Miller started at in four games last season. The nature and severity of the injury was not immediately known. The Jets were off Tuesday, and coach Eric Mangini is extremely tightlipped when it comes to injuries.
Miller was arrested early Sunday and charged with third-degree assault after a fight at a New York City nightclub. ESPN.com reported Sunday night that the 23-year-old Pro Bowl returner was arrested after allegedly punching a woman in a nightclub. He was apprehended following a police chase at 4:20 a.m. According to the report, police said Miller swung at a man, but hit the woman when the man ducked out of the way.||||||| In light of the NFL's new conduct policy, the Jets have already notified the commissioner's office of the situation. "We expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of conduct off the field and take any allegation of personal misconduct very seriously," the team said in a statement. "Until we've had an opportunity to review all the facts, we will refrain from further comment."

Former Hobsons Bay Mayor Tony Briffa has had a court intervention order issued against a person who has been "harassing and stalking" the local politican for the last 18 months. Briffa said the attacks were motivated "purely because of my genetic intersex condition, sexual orientation and gender identity."
Briffa was born with the rare condition called Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. Although genetically male Briffa was raised as female, undergoing female hormone therapy.
Briffa said the calls received from the stalker were so frightening that she felt unsafe at council meetings and public events during her term as mayor requiring the council to review ways to improve safety.
The intervention's conditions require the man to remain 200 metres away from Briffa's home or workplace or harassing, including by email and other electronic media.

Need CubTug Reviews
I'm in the process of updating the CubTug Web site for the 2010 CubTug/CubFest. I'd like to link our hotel listing to available reviews. Kodiak has already posted his review of the Knights Inn, but we'd like to get as many of the other places in Circleville and Lancaster reviewed as possible. So, if you've stayed in one of the nearby hotels, please post a review. Thanks.
Re: Need CubTug Reviews
The camping area is great as are the omelets at "Lildog's House of Eggs". But alas, I have never stayed at a hotel/motel nearby.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

"If (Dunn) hits someone, we can't charge him—he's too big," joked Beltre, who added, "He was throwing power sinkers. Obviously, they were too nasty for J.P." Arencibia fouled out.

Vote for Rookie: Trenton Thunder golden retriever advances to championship round of 'Mascot Mania'
On MiLB.com, Rookie's likes are listed as "baseballs, baseball bats, belly rubs and treats," but his top rival is still the vacuum cleaner. The site notes that Rookie is training to be a bat-dog like Derby, his father who retrieves bats during every home Trenton Thunder game, and grandfather Chase "That Golden Thunder," who died last year.
"It really started with Chase, who was the most important mascot we had. We're really happy to pay homage to our dog lineage because there's ...Read More...

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC) on Wednesday announced the voluntary recall of about 260,000 Energizer Rotating Night Lights. Consumers are warned to unplug and stop using the lights immediately.
The CPSC says the lights, sold exclusively at Target, can overheat and smoke, posing a burn hazard. According to the recall notice, no injuries have been reported, but Energizer has received nine reports of the night lights
overheating and three reports of minor property damage.
The night
lights are white and have an LED light inside an adjustable dome on
top. They are about two inches wide by two-and-a-half inches long. Model number "ENLPLROT" and date
codes between 0110 (for January 2010) through 0111 (for January 2011)
are included in this recall. The model number is stamped onto the side
of the night light. The date code is stamped in a circle on the back of
the night light.
Energizer is based in St. Louis, but the recalled product is manufactured in China.

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
Since 2003, the Netherlands has instituted a variety of integration-related reforms to make sure new immigrants speak Dutch and understand Dutch society. But the political climate changed in 2006, and the new government is taking a broader approach as Chavi Keeney Nana explains.
Approximately 50,000 of Germany's 170,000 tolerated asylum seekers are expected to will qualify for a residency permit under a law passed in March 2007. MPI's Eric Leise reports.
There is an ongoing debate over the children born to Europe's guest workers of the 1960s and 1970s: Can they move up the educational ladder, or will they form a new underclass in Europe's largest cities? Maurice Crul of the University of Amsterdam compares outcomes for second-generation Turkish children across five countries.
Luxembourg's stable, prosperous economy would not be possible without foreign workers, most of whom come from other EU countries. But this small country has also struggled to cope with asylum seekers from the former Yugoslavia and to integrate children of immigrants, as Serge Kollwelter explains.
The addition of Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union means another round of anxieties about labor migrants. Catherine Drew and Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah of the Institute for Public Policy Research in London explain how this enlargement is different from the historic one in 2004 and why most EU Member States favor temporary restriction.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.
This report explores how nostalgia trade and heritage tourism can involve diaspora populations in transactions that ease the integration of their homeland economies, while helping maintain their ties to their countries of origin or ancestry.
This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.
This statement from the fourth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration focuses on immigrant integration and how to shift focus back onto integration as a continuous and interactive process, even amidst the tumult of a persistent economic crisis.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.

Terror police hold man at airport
6:57pm Monday 12th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A 24-year-old man has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of committing terrorism offences.
The man was arrested by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command after arriving on a flight from Bahrain. He was taken to a south London police station where he is being questioned over alleged terrorist activity.
A police spokesman said: "Officers from the MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) Counter Terrorism Command today, Monday November 12, arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.
"He was arrested at 8.45am after arriving on a flight from Bahrain to Heathrow Airport. The man was arrested after initially being stopped by immigration officials at 8am."
He added: "Today's arrest forms part of an investigation into travel to Syria in support of alleged terrorist activity."
Another man, Shajul Islam, 26, is facing trial over allegations that he was involved in the same plot. The trainee NHS doctor is charged with keeping John Cantlie and a Dutch journalist captive.
Islam, who studied at St Bartholomew's and a University of London hospital, is accused of being part of an extremist group that held Mr Cantlie, who worked for various newspapers including the Sunday Times, and Jeroen Oerlemans for around a week in the war-torn state.
Islam, from Stratford, east London, was arrested at Heathrow Airport last month as he arrived back in the UK with his wife and one-year-old daughter on a flight from Egypt. He is accused of being a doctor for the jihadi group that kidnapped the journalists and held them at a camp in Syria.
It is alleged that Islam, with others, unlawfully and injuriously imprisoned Mr Cantlie and Mr Oerlemans against their will, between July 17 and 26.
Islam is due to appear at the Old Bailey on April 12 for a plea and case management hearing, and a six-week trial is set to begin on June 5.

3But Where's the Rest of Diane Kruger?
OK, I'm going to just come right out and say this: Diane Kruger looks like shit. No, no, really, and I say this with all of the love in the world, because I do love Diane Kruger—she looks like garbage. What happened here? Her shoes and that hat and her head all make her so shrunken and sickly-looking and too small. Is it because she and Joshua Jackson have been dating for a century now and she's stressed out that they're still not making the ultimate commitment? Well, no, not according to Diane. In response to recent engagement rumors, Diane said that she doesn't believe in marriage:
Joshua Jackson showed longtime girlfriend Diane Kruger just how much he loves her by outbidding fellow Hollywood high rollers Wednesday, winning her a Carla Amorim necklace for $45,000.
The impressive "Boreal" necklace is made with 11.7 carats of white diamonds and set in 18k rose gold, People reports.
According to an eyewitness at the "Nights in Monaco" benefit dinner and auction, the "Inglourious Basterd" actress "was stunned" by Jackson's purchase, and couldn't stop beaming.
"She kept kissing him the rest of the night because she was so shocked still!" the source told Us Weekly. "The necklace is out of this world and he definitely had his eye out for it."
Kruger, 35, and Jackson, 33, have been dating since 2006, and the generous purchase had the media buzzing that the bauble was more than just a kind gesture. "He said he was looking for the 'perfect engagement gift,'" a source told E! News.
Reps for Kruger, similarly, have shot down the rumors, telling Us Weekly that the couple, though happy, is definitely not engaged.
The actress, who was once wed, has spoken out about her take on marriage before. "Without sounding pessimistic, I learned that I don't believe in marriage," she told Glamour magazine in February 2011. "I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart.
"There's no paper that will make you stay. A guy friend of mind said, and it made a lot of sense, that people should get married at the end of the road, not the beginning."
Well, OK. That's fine, Diane. I kind of like the way you think, there, but I'm still concerned about what's going on with you. Some bodies are definitely not meant to be that small, and I'm pretty sure that Diane's is one of them. Holy crow. I can't believe I once said that Diane Kruger had an "ample ass." How times have changed, guys.

Holy crap what happened O_o she was always thin, but not this tiny!!
Man this is sad! She clearly has an eating disorder. When normal women are constantly made fun of on sites like this by a bunch of bitter trolls, this is what you end up with. Perfectly gorgeous women starving themselves with horrific results. So fucking sad!
Photoshop, you compressed the width without touching the length of the picture.
