(Golden) – Voters who want to cast an early ballot in person for the 2012 Presidential Election can do so over the next two weeks. Early voting for General Election begins today and continues until Friday, November 2nd.
The Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's Office has eight (8) Early Voting sites open throughout the county where Jefferson County voters can cast their ballots. Unlike voting on Election Day when voters must visit an assigned neighborhood precinct polling location, during Early Voting, any Jefferson County voter can visit any Early Voting site.
"We are continuing to encourage people to take advantage of Early Voting," said Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson. "Many voters like the convenience of casting their ballot early and avoiding the last minute rush on Election Day," she added.
Early Voting will take place at the following locations from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday:
Jefferson County Administrative & Courts Facility 100 Jefferson County Pkwy. (Golden) Arvada Motor Vehicle Branch Office 6510 Wadsworth Blvd. Evergreen Motor Vehicle Branch Office 4990 County Hwy. 73 Lakewood Motor Vehicle Branch Office 2099 Wadsworth Blvd. South Jeffco Motor Vehicle Branch Office 11139 Bradford Rd.
Early Voting will take place at the following locations from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday:
NORTHStandley Lake Library8485 Kipling St.
CENTRALBelmar Library555 S. Allison Pkwy.
SOUTHColumbine Library7706 W. Bowles Ave.
Early Voting will take place at all of the locations listed above on Saturday, October 27th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
"We've had a lot of people switch from voting in a voting booth to choosing to have their ballots mailed to them," said Anderson. "For those people who still like the experience of voting in person, Early Voting presents a great opportunity," she added.
Voters who would still like to apply for a mail-in ballot have until October 30th if they would like the ballot mailed to them, or until November 2nd if they would like to pick the ballot up from any of the Elections Division at 3500 Illinois Street in Golden, or any of the four Motor Vehicle branch offices of the listed above.
For more information about early voting or obtaining a mail-in ballot, please visit VoteJeffco.com.

Recently, I put up a post with a link to an article previewing the AFC South, stating that in the best case scenario, we could win the division and make a playoff berth. Again, I have found another article that takes an in-depth look at our team and their outlook for the year. The artilce is linked here:
There are a few things that are inaccurate as of the writing of the article, but not enough to take away from the article itself. It has Cox and Mathis as our starting CB's, and as we all know, that currently isn't the case. Also, it mentions Session as one our starting LB's, another incorrect statment. Lastly, MJD hadn't ended his holdout, yet it does say that he didn't expect Maurice to miss any regular season games.
The one point that I know some will quickly disagree with is the defense of our 2012 3rd round draft pick, punter Bryan Anger. While this debate will surely always be open to be discussed, there are two good points made in this artcle about the pick.
One is when he wrote: "Having a quality punter is like having an extra quality defender. If you can consistently pin offenses deep in their own territory and win the field position battle, you put your team in a position to win football games."
And two, is when he wrote: "The impact a quality punter can make is exasperated when you pair him with a quality defense."
These two statements are written one after the other, but the second is a stand alone sentence. While a paragraph of itself, the second quote goes hand in hand with the first, to amplify the impact that Anger could have on the team, this year and for the forseeable future.
The point made above all others that I agree with the most is how the outside perception of the Jaguars being one of the worse teams in the league is an incorrect one. Even with Blaine having to prove he has improved enough to earn the respect of the national media, this team as a whole has a much deeper talent base than a lot of the teams we are so often associated with, such as the Browns, Colts, Cardinals and our next oppenent, the Vikings, among a few others.
While it must be proven, it's good to know that when given an in-depth, object analysis, it's not hard to see that this team has the makings of a competitive football team. As indicated by this article and the other I posted a few days ago, my thoughts of us being a darkhorse this year are further entrenched. December could be exciting this year for us Jaguar fans.

text: Tonight, the Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Washington, D.C., to take on Donavan McNabb and the Washington Redskins in Fed Ex Field. This is a bit of an Ouroboros game, as it were. McNabb beat Vick with the Eagles to go to the Superbowl when Vick was playing with the Falcons. McNabb was sent to the Redskins in the offseason, however, and now, through a winding series of events, Vick starts for the Eagles. When the two teams met earlier this year, Vick was knocked out of the game early with a rib injury trying to dive into the endzone on a running play that would be called back by a penalty anyway. The Redskins had a lead at the time, and while they didn't score any more points in the game, it was enough to beat the Eagles, as Kevin Kolb was unable to lead his team to a victory. Today is a 2010 rematch, and could be considered another rematch of that Conference championship game. What will happen tonight? We'll see. In the meantime, this thread is open for all our discussion.

This is a great little hors d'oeuvre, best served with chopsticks, for people to reach for while sitting around having cocktails. If you like, you can serve various Japanese pickled vegetables as well as the cucumbers, but the cucumbers are more refreshing and less overbearingly salty than most pickled foods.
Cook the shrimp by plunging them in about 2 quarts of boiling water and boiling for 3 minutes for extra large shrimp and 4 minutes for jumbo. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Peel the shrimp and, if you wish, devein them. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop the seeds out of each half. Slice the halves into crescents about 1/8-inch thick. Combine the cucumber slices with the coarse salt, rub with your hands until you no longer feel the salt, then drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Wring out as much liquid as you can by squeezing small bunches of the slices in your fists.
If you're not using the bonito flakes, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, water, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. If you are using the bonito flakes, combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add the bonito flakes. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain. Discard the used bonito flakes and chill the sauce.
Just before serving, add the scallions to the sauce. Serve the shrimp next to the cucumbers, with the sauce in a separate dish for dipping.

Police transform balancing pond into angling area to combat anti-social behaviour (From Stroud News and Journal)

Police transform balancing pond into angling area to combat anti-social behaviour
12:00pm Sunday 24th February 2013 in News By SNJ Reporter
AN untidy balancing pond next to police headquarters in Quedgeley is being transformed into an angling area in a bid to combat anti-social behaviour.
The Gloucester District policing team is promoting fishing as a way of diverting youngsters away from nuisance activities.
PC Lucy Winterburn recently worked with the charity Angling for Youth Development to train mentors to teach local children the pastime.
The use of the balancing pond, next to Gloucestershire Constabulary's training base in Waterwells, was one way of ensuring she could expand the project.
PC Winterburn said: "Given the proximity of the pond to our police building this idea has been staring us in the face for some time but we didn't own and couldn't use it.
"When Gloucestershire County Council agreed to lease us the pond and grounds it gave us the green light to go in, tidy it up and make it fit for this purpose.
"We have already started clearing up and cutting back the undergrowth and it's really beginning to take shape now."
The Environment Agency's Fisheries and Biodiversity office in Tewkesbury and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust have also endorsed the idea and provided help and assistance.
PC Winterburn believes the scheme will have significant benefits for the community.
"I know that when I am out on patrol and talking to young people in the area they are always looking for something to do so taking advantage of the fantastic natural environment that surrounds us seemed to make total sense.
"I know that residents have concerns with regards to anti-social behaviour and we are hoping that by giving young people another positive choice we will be able to reduce those concerns."
If you are an angler and feel you could help with the project contact email@example.com or call 101 and ask to speak to PC 208.

TOKYO — Just when you thought Sony couldn't get any more pathetic, the company comes up with the "SmartWig."
Just because your gizmo designers make a hairpiece that aims to help its wearer navigate roads, check blood pressure, flip through slides in a presentation or perhaps even take photos doesn't mean a company should admit it, never mind seek a U.S. patent. I can see the marketing slogan now: "The high-tech wig that will make you wish you were bald!"
If this is just a ruse for some bored Sony staffers to win an Ig Nobel Prize, then fine. This American parody of the Nobel Prizes, which honors 10 odd and trivial advances annually that do more to inspire laughter than serve humankind, is quite a phenomenon in Japan. Winners, like the Japanese researchers honored this year for using mice to study how opera affects heart-transplant patients, often become local celebrities.
But Sony seems too serious for comfort about its high-tech toupee. While a spokeswoman told Bloomberg News that Sony hasn't decided whether to commercialize this new technology, such publicity is often a trial balloon to see what the marketplace thinks. Analysts didn't miss a beat, instantly framing the wig as Sony's less-than-impressive answer to its competitors' wearable-technology products — from Google's eyeglasses, to Samsung's smart watches and Apple's, well, everything.
This is no time for Sony to be dropping hints about a product that inspires only eye-rolling. The mockery is but the latest reminder that Kazuo Hirai may have been a bad choice to restore Sony to relevance.
It's easy to forget there was elation when Hirai replaced Howard Stringer in April 2012. Whereas Stringer, Sony's first non-Japanese leader, was a businessman brought in to trim fat and shake up Sony's insular culture, Hirai was a gadget man.

The speed limit is going up for drivers beginning July1 on more than 800 miles of Kansas highways and Interstates.
There are several reasons why authorities are raising the minimum speed limit from 70 to 75, but a lot of frequent commuters don't understand it.
Beginning tomorrow, the speed limit will increase and KDOT says several factors were taken into account.
KDOT, along with highway patrol and the turnpike authority say they studied traffic volumes, crash history, roadway geometrics, looked at how much commuters drive these roads and whether the stretches are urban or rural.
KCTV5 spoke to several semi-truck drivers who spend their entire day on the Interstates across Kansas, and they say the speed limit change is simply a way to raise more money for the state in a down economy.
"They're not selling as much fuel because cars are getting better fuel mileage, they need the revenue to keep the highways fixed. I think it's a way of getting more revenue, if you drive faster, you're going to use more fuel so you're going to buy more," said truck driver David Barr.
Making up the 800 miles are notable stretches of I-70 from Colorado to Topeka.
I-35 from Emporia to the Edgerton interchange in Johnson County and the Kansas turnpike from Oklahoma to K-7 in Wyandotte County.

Will the Bears bring back veteran center Olin Kreutz?
The veteran center is entering his 13th NFL season. He has spent all 12 of his seasons with the Bears.
Kreutz was voted to six straight Pro Bowls from 2001-2006. He's not the elite center he once was, but he is a leader and the Bears want to keep the offensive line intact.
The Bears offensive line last season gave up a league high 56 sacks, including nine in one game against the NY Giants. But the line improved down the stretch and with the drafting of tackle Gabe Carimi, the Bears believe bringing some veterans in and the line could be much better.
Olin Kreutz wants to return to the Bears, he wants to retire a Bear. Fans love him, he has been steady for 12 straight seasons. The Bears have some competition with the San Francisco 49ers, who are looking to sign him.
The 49ers have already sent out a contract to Kreutz. The Bears are looking to bring him back to the mix and keep the line steady, but if Kreutz gets a much bigger offer from the 49ers don't be surprised if he departs.
The Bears will have to make a decision soon because Kreutz is expected to announce which team he will choose tomorrow.
If I had a vote, I would say keep Kreutz, he is great in the locker room and will teach the offensive line to play harder. He might not be the same center he once was, but he is better than any of the free-agent centers.
Other options:
If Kreutz doesn't return look for the Bears to move guard Roberto Garza over to center. Former first-round pick Chris Williams, who was drafted to be a tackle, played guard last season could also possibly transition to center as well.
Kreutz will make the decision that he believes is right, he is a straight up guy. Tomorrow we'll know the answer.

What are the different accounts of salvation given in Christian and Muslim thinking? What is involved in forgiveness? What do Christians mean when they speak of atonement through Christ?
These and related topics will be highlighted in a fascinating discussion on 'Salvation in Christianity and Islam', featuring two seasoned experts and public speakers, at the London Central Mosque (Regents Park Mosque) on Sunday 4 December 2011.
The speakers are the Rev Dr Steve Latham, Director for Continuing Ministerial Development at Spurgeons College, London (a leading Baptist college) and Paul Bilal Williams, Director of Muslim Debate Initiative, which is organising the event - the first of its kind in a major mosque.
The discussion will take place from 15:00 – 18:00 at The Islamic Cultural Centre and The London Central Mosque, 146 Park Road, London NW8 7RG. The location is the Regents Park Mosque Library, 1st floor. The nearest underground station is Baker Street.

Today, North Carolina enters the first round of the ACC women's basketball tournament - a tournament the program has won nine times - as an afterthought, seeded sixth and reeling after four consecutive regular-season losses.
Jessica Breland, one of the team's four seniors and appointed leader, would have never imagined the Tar Heels (22-7, 8-6 ACC) would be in this spot, particularly after starting the season with a 14-0 record.
Breland, who as a freshman watched the Heels reach the Final Four, also never imagined that her game would take such a precipitous turn and she would lose her starting job. As the Heels prepare to face No. 11 Clemson (10-19, 3-11) at the Greensboro Coliseum, she looks to rebound from a mini-slump that has perplexed coaches and shaken her confidence.
"Tournament time always brings a sense of urgency," said Breland, who over the past four games has averaged 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 turnovers. "You lose, you're out. ... We all have the same goal: We don't want to go home."
This season was supposed to go differently for Breland, who returned for a redshirt fifth season after sitting out last season while recovering from Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing chemotherapy and rebuilding her endurance, she entered this season healthy and hopeful to regain the form that lifted her to a team-leading 14.1 points and 8.5 rebounds as a junior.
She's had breakout games this season, scoring 22 points against Florida State on Feb. 2. But there have been setbacks along the way as she battled pneumonia in January and minor knee surgery last month.
"It's not related to health," UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "She had a great game at Florida State. ... We haven't seen anything like that since Florida State. And we won down there, mainly because of how she played. I'm not blaming Jessica. We're counting on her, and we need her."
Breland said she's trying to balance scoring and passing.
"I've never really been a player people went to," Breland said. "So when Erlana [Larkins] and [LaToya Pringle] and all of them were there, I always played a role. It's hard to put in my mind to attack more. That I have the green light."
The Heel have tried running plays for Breland and are searching for ways to revive her mid-range face-the-basket game.
"We have to get her playing better, or I just have to sit her down," Hatchell said. "We're trying to do some things to get her going. I think if we can get Jessica going, this team will take off."

A tenuous ceasefire is holding in the Gaza Strip after almost five months of a heavy dose of "Operation Summer Rain" by the Israeli military.
The showers of missiles, aerial bombardment, military incursions into populated areas over the course of the five month 'rain' storm have left dead more than 457 people, a quarter of them children, and well over 1,000 injured.
Since the summer rains began, many in the Israeli peace camp have remained silent about the ongoing crisis in
These pronouncements have made Professor Pappe a scion in the eyes of the Israeli government and public, but he continues to move forward in the hope of reconciliation and justice for Palestinians. His latest contribution is the new book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.
EI contributor Christopher Brown recently spoke over the phone with Professor Pappe about the current situation in Israel/Palestine.
Christopher Brown: Ehud Olmert recently appointed Avigdor Lieberman as deputy prime minister — a man who some consider a "fascist" in light of his views towards Arabs, and Palestinians in particular. Yet, the world press has barely said anything about his rants; for instance, that all Arabs should be expelled from the territories, and Arab Knesset members be executed for having any contact with the Hamas led government. Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of
Ilan Pappe: I think you've put your finger on two very important issues. The first one is the ideology that Avigdor Lieberman subscribes to that is an ethnic cleansing ideology. Someone who believes that the only way to solving the problems in Israel/Palestine is by expelling the Palestinians from
I think the problem with Avigdor Lieberman is not his own views but the fact that he reflects what most Israeli Jews think, and definitely what most of his colleagues in the Olmert government think but don't dare to say, or don't think is desirable to say for tactical reasons. But I do think that we should be worried about Lieberman, not as an extreme fascist but rather as a person who represents the mood of
The second point is the double standard, the hypocrisy that you pointed to where you compared rightly the utterances of Ahmadinejad being repeated and how similar, and worse generalizations and attitudes by Israelis are not heard at all. And I think the reason has to do with the very peculiar standing that
There's not that much difference between Israeli policy and
CB: Sixty-one Irish academics wrote a public letter in September, calling for a moratorium on EU aid to Israeli universities until
IP: It is an effective way if it's not only an academic boycott. An academic boycott is only one component in what one cold call a cultural boycott of
The second best, and more feasible, [way] is to send a message to Israel from the societies at large that its policies are unacceptable, that as long as it continues to do what it does it cannot be accepted … It cannot be in the community of civilized nations. There is both a symbolic and a very political significance to a coordinated reaction by societies in the west for a message, a clear message, that is conveyed in the way of a boycott of divestment or any other symbolic act which says that there is a price tag attached to the policies that you pursue
I think there is both a symbolic and a very political significance to a coordinated reaction by societies in the west for a message, a clear message, that is conveyed in the way of a boycott of divestment or any other symbolic act which says that there is a price tag attached to the policies that you pursue and as long as you pursue these policies, you are not welcomed here. Not as individuals — you are not welcomed here if you represent a certain ideology, a certain state, and especially if you appear as an official representative of this state. We are not inventing the wheel, of course. The cultural boycott was a very crucial component in the action against Apartheid in
The most important thing to remember about such actions is that they are nonviolent. One has to show that the Palestinians, and the Palestinians have to discover it themselves, that there are nonviolent possibilities in pursuing the struggle against Israeli occupation. Because if they are nonviolent, who could blame the Palestinians for using every desperate means at their disposal to try and stop one of the cruelest and most oppressive occupations in modern times?
CB: What of those [like the Israeli lobby groups] who would say that proposing a cultural and academic boycott is furthering anti-semitism? How do you respond to that?
IP: Three points are important in this connection. The first one should highlight the fact that many progressive and liberal Jews both in the
The second [point] is, the Israelis are over-using the anti-semitic accusation against anyone who criticizes them. Not only [against] those who call for a boycott, even the mildest criticism of
Thirdly, and most important, one should differentiate between Zionism and Judaism. By now we can see after 60 years the implementations of the Zionist ideology on the ground from the Palestinian point of view.
This ideology may have done some good things for Jews around the world, but it is definitely something that does not allow the Palestinians to live in peace or even to live at all on their homeland, and this is Zionism. It has some connection to Judaism, but its not about Judaism. It's about a certain colonial ideology that still, in the 21st century, is ascribed to by a state which is an unfinished project. The State of Israel has not been built properly. As you know, we don't even have final borders. It's very important to educate people that this is not a Jewish question that we are dealing with; we are dealing with a certain relic of the colonial period
I think it's very important to educate people that this is not a Jewish question that we are dealing with; we are dealing with a certain relic of the colonial period that is still allowed to continue in a post-colonial situation. And as long as it continues as it does, [it] complicates the relationship between the Western world and the Arab world and the Muslim world.
CB: On November 7th the Democratic Party won elections that will allow them to control the Congress of the
IP: Well, the results of the mid-term elections are good news from many aspects for the American public. But I don't think [the elections] bring any good news to this part of the world. In other words, I don't think that the shift in the balance of power in both houses would change American policy towards
You ask whether it should. Of course it should. It should because if [the Democratic Party] is loyal to the new perspective it brings to American politics — the idea that Americans should have some inhibitions in international behavior, that the use of force in Iraq was wrong, and that there is a problem with the American image and standing in the world — if indeed this is the message of the Democrats to American politics, then I think they should pay attention to fact that the Americans' standing and position in the world is not only affected not by the invasion of Iraq, but also the unconditional support that America gives to Israel at the expense of the Palestinians.
I think that they should realize that only in a change in the attitude towards
CB: Peace Now [an Israeli Peace organization], has found that approximately 40 percent of the settlements, including long-standing communities, are built on private Palestinian land and not on state-owned land. Peace Now was given this information from a source inside the Civil Administration who wanted to expose the wide-scale violations of private Palestinian property rights by the government and the settlers. Do you believe that there are more in the government who disagree with the treatment of the Palestinians and are willing to speak out?
IP: Maybe there are more but I believe that this is not enough. This kind of criticism by Peace Now about the piece of information that they leaked to us is very important. But don't forget for one moment any square inch that has been taken by
It may be a starker violation but the whole Israeli presence there is a violation of human rights and civil rights. What is needed is much more than this kind of criticism. The problem in
Lieberman says, let's take any territory we need and achieve that goal by downsizing the number of Arabs living there. Peace Now says, no, let's take less land and downsize the land rather than the population and then we can have the coveted exclusive supremacist state. Both positions are morally and politically wrong and unacceptable because at the end of the day you have 20 percent to 30 percent of [Israel's population comprised of] Palestinians, even in the smallest state that Peace Now covets and Peace Now is not willing to see them as equal citizens.
And people, even in Peace Now, would put the idea of a Jewish state above any other failure, democratic or liberal. So I think that even if I would have found in the government or the administration people who want a cleaner mode of occupation, a more legitimized occupation, I would of course welcome it. But I'm warning [that] we've been there before. These people have even been in government and they didn't make any change because the reason for the ongoing conflict between Israel/Palestine is not because
CB: Finally, Ilan Pappe, what can people who hope for the security of both the Israelis and Palestinians do?
IP: Well I think everybody has his or her role to play, especially people who care; either those that belong to Israel-Palestine or care about Israel/Palestine. I think the Palestinians have their role of resistance; the progressive forces inside
But society outside has to play the same role that the anti-Apartheid movement played in the West during the heyday of Apartheid. We need a strong lobby inside the western world — especially in the

Shaun Edwards targets historic win
6:20am Tuesday 19th June 2012 in Wales Rugby
WALES assistant coach Shaun Edwards believes there is still plenty to play for in Saturday's final Test against Australia despite having already lost the series.
Australia earned an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series when they followed up their 27-19 win in the first Test in Brisbane with a last-gasp 25-23 triumph in Melbourne at the weekend.
That heartbreaking defeat continued Wales' miserable record in Australia, where they have not recorded a victory over the host nation in over 40 years, and means they have still not won an away Test against any of the southern hemisphere's big three in 25 years.
However, the prospect of ending those dismal runs is exactly what Edwards is now setting his sights on as the Six Nations champions look to end their summer tour Down Under on a high.
"Let's be honest, if we win the Test on Saturday it'll be the first time in the professional era since 1969 that Wales have won a Test in the southern hemisphere and that's a big goal to shoot for,'' said Edwards.
"It was a huge disappointment (on Saturday), an opportunity definitely missed, but hopefully as the week progresses that will slowly turn into a determination to not leave your beautiful shores without a victory in a Test match.'' If Wales are to end their long wait to beat Australia in their own back yard then they will need to cut out giving away avoidable penalties - something Edwards feels cost them dear on Saturday.
"We conceded 25 points in Melbourne, which was disappointing, but only one try. I was disappointed in some of the penalties that we gave away, but we were defending for such long periods of time,'' said Edwards.
"Defences get refereed more harshly than offences do, and rightly so. Otherwise we would have the stalemate game we had two or three years ago when there was so much kicking in the game.
"But when you are defending for such long periods you are going to concede a penalty or two. The one which gave Australia the field position at the end was very avoidable and it is the avoidable ones you want to cut down on.'' Wales' loss was one of three near misses for northern hemisphere teams this weekend, with world champions New Zealand just beating Ireland 22-19, while England lost 36-27 to South Africa in Johannesburg.
Asked to explain what is apparently a narrowing of the gap between north and south, Edwards suggested some of the southern hemisphere's dominance in recent times can be attributed to scheduling.
"There's no doubt if you look at the results over the years the strength has been in the southern hemisphere, but you have to look at the preparation the southern hemisphere teams have,'' he said.
"The only time we really compete on level footing with southern hemisphere teams is the Rugby World Cup...because every year Australia, South Africa and the All Blacks have four months together all the way up until the end of November where obviously they finish usually in the UK.
"The northern hemisphere teams normally have a week to prepare sometimes for those...and I think if you look at the win-loss ratios in the World Cup you'll notice that the northern hemisphere teams do substantially better than they do in the autumn.''

Twins' Names:
Tatiana and Krista Hogan
October 25, 2006. The combined weight of the girls at birth was more than 12 pounds and they were very healthy at birth, functioning like normal babies born at 34 weeks' gestation.
Type of Conjoined Twins:
Craniopagus. The girls' heads are fused at the back and the side. They have two separate brain stems, but share two lobes.
Born at BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Mother is from Vernon, British Columbia.
Other Family Information:
Mom, Felicia Simms, purportedly breastfed the babies. The twenty-one-year-old mother has two other children. Mom and babies appeared on the Tyra Banks Show in February 2007. The girls were the first conjoined twins born in British Columbia since 1978.
The girls were released from the hospital and returned home to Vernon on December 14, 2006. They are being cared for at home by their mother with help from father, Brendan Hogan and aunt, Rhea Simms. In the summer of 2007, it was determined that they could not be separated without killing or paralyzing one of the girls. In 2010, a National Geographic Channel special featured the girls, and their unique connection. Because the girls share a thalamus, an organ in the middle of the brain, they experience each other's sensations.

After struggling "a lot," Diamond determined to rebound
11/17/2013 (Updated 11:05:51 PM)After being named Minnesota Twins Pitcher of the Year following a stellar 12-9, 90 strikeout rookie year in which he posted a 3.54 ERA, BU Grad Scott Diamond's 2013 was just the opposite.
Diamond went 6-13 with a 5.43 ERA and hitters hitting .306 against him. At one point, he even received the news any major leaguer fears - "you've been sent down to the minors." But, despite finding himself back in Triple-A Rochester, Diamond did not give up and kept working and earned himself a September call-up.
Click "View Video" to hear from Diamond as he visited his Alma Mater this past weekend as BU inducted the school's first MLB player into the Bearcats Hall of Fame.

I'm trying to do Remote Administration of IIS in C#.NET using System.Web.Administration tools. Everything works fine on a test server (windows 2008), however when I try using our live server (windows 2003) it fails giving the message:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException : Not enough storage is available to process this command. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070008)
The server itself has plenty of memory free, so I believe this is some kind of memory limit with the RPC itself.
Is there any way around this?

THERE is no sign of another South Tyneside school converting to academy status in the near future, a new report reveals.
The coalition government's academy policy was introduced in the summer of 2010.
It gave schools the freedom to spend their own budgets.
Since the policy was introduced, five borough schools have gone down the academy route.
They are Whitburn Church of England Academy, Monkton Junior and Infants Schools and Ridgeway Primary School, all South Shields, and, in July of last year, St Joseph's Catholic Academy in Hebburn.
There is no indication that any new schools are set to leave local authority control imminently.
But approaches were made by the Department for Education to Toner Avenue School in Hebburn, and Park View School in South Shields, after both required special measures.
Those moves came to nothing when both premises were taken out of special measures.
Next week, members of the council's people select committee will receive an update on the impact of academies in the borough.
A report from Helen Watson, the council's corporate director for children, adults and families, says: "In the case of Park View School, the governing body has decided to continue as a local authority maintained school.
"The interim executive board of Toner Avenue Primary has decided to continue its consultations with parents about the future of the school, in the light of the recent judgement that it no longer needs special measures.
"The local authority is not aware of any other schools that have applied for academy status, although others have considered, or are considering, the advantages and disadvantages.
"All academies maintain a cordial relationship with the local authority, their principals attend headteachers' meetings and members of staff continue to attend in-service training provided by the council." Nationally, since the Academies Act came into force 3,444 school have chosen to sign up.
Almost two-thirds of secondary schools have applied to become academies, but that figure is just 10 per cent in the primary sector.
Members of the committee will discuss the findings at South Shields Town Hall from 10am next Tuesday.

Ernest Hemingway's favorite vacation spot beckons, and it's just half a day's drive from Chicago in northern Michigan.
The globe-trotting author is more associated with bullfighting in Spain, movable feasts in Paris, big-game hunting on African safaris and sport fishing in Key West and Cuba.
But Michigan was his first vacation love. This was where he spent time at his parents' cottage for 20 years. This was where he was married and honeymooned with his first wife, Hadley Richardson. This was where he set one of his first novels, "The Torrents of Spring."
As a boy and young man, Ernie roamed the woods, fished the waters and hung out in the towns of the Little Traverse Bay region, about 360 miles north of Chicago by land on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan. Visitors today can follow his life at Walloon Lake, Horton Bay, Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Boyne City.
Ardent Hemingway fans already know all about his northern Michigan connection. But many others are not aware that this was where the Nobel Prize-winning author spent boyhood summers. Tracking down Hemingway can add a fascinating bonus to a vacation here.
A good place to start is the Little Traverse History Museum on the waterfront in Petoskey. Housed in the renovated Chicago and West Michigan train depot (built in 1892), it displays more than 60 Hemingway-related photos, his books inscribed to local friends and items from the family cottage.
Photos show a young Hemingway, slim and without the iconic beard of his later Papa years. The museum, which attracts visitors from around the world, showcases details about his life here in the early 20th century.
Northern Michigan sparked his creative juices.
Michael Federspiel, the museum's director and president of the Michigan Hemingway Society, put it this way: "To a young boy, this was his first exotic location. It fed his imagination. He mined Michigan for locations and characters."
That resulted in "The Nick Adams Stories." Nick, a fictionalized stand-in for the author, embarks on adventures in northern Michigan, including the one described in "Big Two-Hearted River."
This passage from "The Nick Adams Stories" describes what Nick/Hemingway felt about his boyhood here: "He loved the long summer more than anything ... fishing in the bay, reading in the hammock on hot days, swimming off the dock, playing baseball at Charlevoix and Petoskey."
Petoskey was the setting for "The Torrents of Spring." Another northern Michigan reference is in the story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."
Born in 1899 in Oak Park, he went to Michigan as a baby. His parents fell in love with the northern Lower Peninsula, bought a waterfront lot on Walloon Lake and built a summer cottage they named Windemere. (Now a private home, it is not open to the public.)
While drivers now can zoom up from Chicago in about six hours, the Hemingway family faced a journey of as long as 24 hours via steamship across the lake to Harbor Springs, then took a train to Petoskey and Walloon Lake Village, then a boat to their cottage.
Today's vacationers can plan a self-guided Hemingway tour by picking up a copy of the brochure "Hemingway's Michigan" at the Little Traverse History Museum or Petoskey Area Visitors Bureau. It has historic pictures and maps to guide you to 11 sites with roadside markers in Petoskey, Horton Creek and Boyne City-Charlevoix.
Start in Petoskey with eight sites. Among them:
Want to sleep where Hemingway stayed in 1916 and paid a whopping 75 cents? Stafford's Perry Hotel, built in 1899, is the last of the original resort hotels in Petoskey. The 17-year-old Hemingway overnighted there after a hiking and camping trip with a friend. Unfortunately, the Perry has not designated a specific Hemingway room.
The Carnegie Library Building was a Hemingway favorite haunt when he lived in Petoskey in the winter of 1919-20 while trying to hone his writing skills. As a cub reporter on the Kansas City Star in 1917, he had started to evolve his trademark style — lean, unadorned prose, short sentences, short paragraphs.
In 1918 he launched his macho persona by volunteering at age 18 to drive a Red Cross ambulance in war-torn Italy.
"After he was wounded in Italy in World War I, he convalesced in Petoskey. He always came back to Michigan. It was his retreat," said Chris Struble, a board member of the Michigan Hemingway Society and owner of Petoskey Yesterday, a tour company with a Hemingway specialty.

CLARKSVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A store suspected of selling synthetic marijuana shut its doors after a WAVE 3 Troubleshooter investigation. Now, the owners of Monroe's in Clarksville have come forward to claim they are being unfairly targeted. Troubleshooter Eric Flack has been working to uncover the latest developments.
The owners of Monroe's turned over lab tests that show the presence of synthetic cannabinoids from products purchased at another smoke shop in southern Indiana. Although the Troubleshooter Department was unable to confirm the validity of the tests, if accurate they would prove other southern Indiana stores are selling the banned substance "spice" which is the street name for smokable synthetic marijuana.
The shredded, dried plant sprayed with chemicals produces a mind altering high and is illegal, but a WAVE 3 hidden camera investigation discovered it is being sold at Monroe's. Investigators said they have been unable to press charges because state police testing equipment is not advanced enough to confirm the presence of banned chemical compounds.
The owners of Monroe's said they shut down shortly after the WAVE 3 Troubleshooter investigation aired because they learned the chemical compound in their product was recently added to the banned list making it illegal. The owners said they did not want to risk prosecution but they are still weighing their options about whether to re-open. They said a lot depends on whether they can find a different, legal version of the product.
The owners said the stuff they sell is labeled "not for human consumption" but they can't control what their customers do with it.
The owners of Monroe's feel singled out by police, who they claim, have not put the same effort into cracking down on other smoke shops. Clarksville Police Chief Mark Palmer said that's not true. Palmer said his investigators recently shut down another smoke shop selling synthetic marijuana, and confiscated more than $40,000 in cash and product. In August, Palmer sent samples from the store the owners of Monroe's is complaining about for testing. Palmer said if those samples are found to be illegal, the owner of that store will be prosecuted.

7 Days to Die - New Pricing & Alpha 7
The Developers of 7 Days to Die have news their lowering the Alpha price for Steam Early Access version, and talk about the next Alpha update.
The past few months we have received hundreds of comments from customers suggesting that our early access Alpha pricing is too high and not aligned with other early access products.
Our original pricing for Steam was set to be aligned with our Kickstarter Alpha access pledge folks who paid $35. Since Kickstarter, much time has passed and the pricing requests continue to pour in.
That said we feel the best thing for the customers and the future of "7 Days to Die" is to listen the people and lower the price.
Effective immediately our new single unit Alpha price is $24.99 and our Alpha 2 pack is $39.99! These prices will stay effective until Beta with the exception of possible sales and promotions along the way. We thank all of you who have supported our product so far and will strive to make it the best damn zombie game we can!
We're also working hard on Alpha 7 which is on target to be out before the end of February. Smooth Terrain, Stealth and Cooking are confirmed features as well as a bunch of smaller fixes, improvements and features including new death options.

7 Days to Die - Review @ Eurogamer
Eurogamer reviews the Alpha version of 7 Days to Die.
There's a line between indie and amateur, and on current evidence 7 Days to Die lands on the wrong side of it. More worrying, the loading screen boasts that future updates will bring new biomes, more locations, larger maps, forging, stealth abilities and more multiplayer modes. It would be more reassuring to hear that the developer is focusing on tidying up what's already in place rather than simply piling more stuff on top of it. It feels reckless rather than ambitious.

The developers of 7 Days to Die have a new post on Steam about a new alpha version, and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
Happy New Year Survivalist,
We'd like to thank everyone for making our migration to Steam and our first Holiday Sale an overwhelming success. We've been as high as number 4 in the Steam Top Sellers list and stayed in the top fifty consistently in our first 3 weeks and have consistently held a spot in or near the top ten since.
Even though we've done a lot of holiday celebration we've still found time to get some work done. The word on the street is that Alpha 6 is coming soon and that it will include a slick new metal forging system we hear is pretty freaking awesome! We've also heard rumors that the world is much bigger, has many new points of interest and a huge new snow biome to explore with several new snow zombies. Our source has confirmed these features and much, much more will be in Alpha 6! We can hardly wait.

7 Days to Die - Removed From Steam
Gaming Blend has news that 7 Days to Die was pulled off Steam due to copyright infringement with some of it's art assets.
Earlier this week the open-world zombie game 7 Days To Die was pulled from Steam. Earlier today I spoke with the man responsible for the game's removal. Here's what I learned.
7 Days To Die's Steam Greenlight page was taken down due to a copyright violation. The takedown notice was filed on behalf of Tripwire Interactive, the developer of co-op shooter Killing Floor. As it turns out, 7 Days features a zombie that resembles a striking resemblance to the Clot, one of the monsters in Killing Floor.
Tom Buscaglia, the lawyer who filed the takedown notice, explained the sequence of events to me. It all started last year when someone took the Clot model from Killing Floor and began selling it on the Unity Store. 7 Days studio Fun Pimps, not realizing that this asset was stolen, purchased the model for use in their game.
Toward the end of the summer, Tripwire noticed the Clot model in a trailer for 7 Days. Vice president Alan Wilson reached out to Fun Pimps to explain that the asset belonged to them. Wilson apparently left the conversation with the understanding that Clot would be removed from 7 Days.
However, two weeks ago, Tripwire saw that the 7 Days trailer still had their character (Buscaglia attributes this to "flakiness" on Fun Pimps' part). What's more, a playable alpha build is now in the hands of players who backed the game. So, they called their lawyer.

7 Days to Die - Preview @ JumpToGamer
JumpToGamer has a preview of 7 Days to Die that might be of interest for those that are still undecided about the game.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing 7 Days to Die, and will continue to do so. It's a game which can be different on each play-through and allows the player freedom to explore and build whatever they want. I do wish that the Day was extended as it comes and goes in a flash, especially when you are frantically trying to repair your structure in-time for the zombie onslaught the following night. But being in Alpha I'm sure it will be tweaked and changed how they see fit. One other issue I do have with the game is that at present zombies always know your location, whether you are moving around and sat still for the whole night. Hopefully stealth and better Zombie AI will lead to this no longer being the case, but being in Alpha I won't be too critical about it.
7 Days to Die has an extremely bright future, and I can't wait for Alpha update 2. The potential a game like this possesses is huge, as has been shown by it's growing popularity. With more features in development and planned, 7 Days to Die will without a doubt become one of the biggest zombie games, and is well worth the $35 it is currently available for.
