Internet-obsessed Krystal Fraser, 24, disappeared from the Bendigo area on June 20.
Heavily pregnant, she had planned to call her baby boy Ryan.
Police say that uncovering the identity of a person who called Ms Fraser from a public phone in Leitchville late on the night she disappeared is the key to the mystery.
Homicide detectives are investigating whether Ms Fraser, who had an intellectual disability and was an avid user of internet chat rooms and social networking sites, may have chatted to her killer online.
Det-Sgt Wayne Woltsche said Ms Fraser accessed the internet through her phone for the final time hours after the mysterious midnight phone call.
"She had run out of credit on her phone, but she could still access the internet ... about 3am (on June 21) was the last time she logged on to the internet, but because it was through a phone we are not able to find out which sites or chat room she accessed," he said.
"About 1.30am to 1.45am she was online, or someone she was with was using her phone to access the internet.
"But again, without the phone, we don't have any information on what sites were accessed."
Detectives have established that Ms Fraser travelled on a V/Line train from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on the day of her disappearance and arrived at 8.40pm.
She was last seen an hour later leaving a friend's house in Albert St, Pyramid Hill.
The mystery phone call, from a public phone outside the Leitchville Post Office two hours later, is the last time someone spoke to Ms Fraser.
"A number of calls were made from that phone box to Krystal's phone in the months before she went missing," Det-Sgt Woltsche said.
"The phone and the identity of the caller are both critical."
Police yesterday concluded a two-day line search of the Pyramid Hill area looking for clues. A helicopter was also used to scour the search zone.
The missing phone is a Samsung flip phone.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Who killed Krystal Fraser?
- From: Sunday Herald Sun
- October 25, 2009
New details have been uncovered in the mysterious disappearance of Ms Fraser, who was three days from giving birth when she vanished at Pyramid Hill, about 100km north of Bendigo.
Police suspect she has been killed because she has not used her mobile phone, touched her bank account or visited a hospital since she was last seen on Saturday, June 20.
Her wallet was found in a shopping bag on the couch in her flat, along with a new stroller, nappies and clothes for her unborn child.
Ms Fraser was 23 when she disappeared, but an intellectual disability meant she had the mental capacity of a 15-year-old.
She knew she was expecting a boy and planned to call him Ryan.
A friend, Bendigo building subcontractor Carlo Anfuso, 20, spoke to Ms Fraser in a chat room on the Thursday before she disappeared.
Mr Anfuso said Ms Fraser seemed stressed.
"She said she was worried about what the father of her baby might do if he finds out she had the child," he said.
Mr Anfuso said he thought Ms Fraser's comment was strange, but did not think of it again until he saw reports last week that she was still missing.
He made a report to Bendigo police.
Police believe Ms Fraser has been murdered and suspect her body is buried in the bush, but searches of land near Pyramid Hill have failed to find her.
They suspect Ms Fraser may have chatted to her killer online.
They have made no arrests.
The case is complicated because the father of Ms Fraser's child is unknown.
The pregnancy was a shock to Ms Fraser and her family.
She had a contraceptive implant inserted in her arm, but it failed.
She told family and friends she was unsure of the identity of the father.
Her mother, Karen, has been hoping desperately her daughter is still alive, but the hope is turning to despair because she has not heard from her eldest daughter in months.
"She didn't leave Pyramid Hill on her own. If they have killed her, they have killed my own grandson as well and that is just sick," Mrs Fraser said.
"You don't hurt a pregnant woman. You move out of the way for them.
"I can't believe anyone would touch her. It was obvious she was pregnant - her stomach was as big as a basketball."
Mrs Fraser had a message for anyone who knew anything about her daughter's disappearance.
"Someone has to know something. Secrets eat away at you - they will slip up eventually," she said.
spend the working week in Horsham where their business is based and return to Pyramid Hill on weekends.
They were in Horsham on the Saturday night when Krystal disappeared because Mr Fraser had been in hospital for a week with pancreatitis.
Mr and Mrs Fraser and their youngest daughter, Chantel, who celebrated her 21st birthday this month, are moving back to Pyramid Hill.
The move was supposed to be for the arrival of their grandchild, but instead they now may have to deal with the death of two of their loved ones.
Mrs Fraser said she wanted answers.
"I don't want to become a statistic. I don't want to spend the next 30 years waiting for a phone call. I don't want to see her on the television still listed as a missing person," she said.
"Krystal deserves better than that."
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Pyramid Hill's Krystal missing six months
TOMORROW will mark six months since pregnant Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser went missing.
The 24-year-old vanished on June 20, only three days before she was due to give birth to a son she planned to call Ryan.
The homicide squad announced it had taken over her case on August 15.
Ms Fraser travelled on the V/Line train from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on the day of her disappearance and left the train at 8.40pm. She was last seen leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill, about 9.30pm after visiting a friend.
Just before midnight, Ms Fraser received a phone call on her mobile from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office.
It is believed that the caller was the last person to speak to Ms Fraser before she disappeared.
Ms Fraser was last seen wearing an orange top, black tracksuit pants and a camouflage-patterned baseball cap.
Anybody with any information regarding her disappearance is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Reward earmarked to help solve case of Krystal Fraser
- From: Herald Sun
- June 10, 2010
Krystal Fraser, 24, was nine months pregnant when she vanished from the Bendigo area on June 20 last year.
Police said last night an application had been made for a reward but it had yet to be approved.
It is expected the reward will be $100,000, for any information that helps catch her killer.
The internet-savvy woman was just days away from giving birth when she disappeared, and it is presumed she was murdered.
She had planned to call her baby boy Ryan.
On the afternoon of June 20, Ms Fraser had been waiting at Bendigo Base Hospital in case she went into labour.
Police established that later that night she caught a V/Line train home to Pyramid Hill, 100km north of Bendigo, arriving at 8.40pm.
She was last seen alive leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill, about 9.30pm.
Shortly before midnight, she received a phone call on her mobile from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office.
It is believed that the caller was the last person to speak to Ms Fraser before her disappearance.
Ms Fraser was a regular user of internet chat rooms and social networking sites. Investigations have probed whether she chatted to her killer online.
From 1.30am-3am, her phone was used to surf the internet.
Her wallet was found in a shopping bag on the couch in her flat, along with a new stroller, nappies and clothes for her unborn child.
She was last seen wearing an orange top, black tracksuit pants and a camouflage-patterned baseball cap.
Members of a Facebook site called "Help us find Krystal Fraser" last night welcomed news of the reward.

The Detroit Lions have a lot of talent on their roster, which is why it was so surprising to see them flounder in 2013 the way that they did. Not only do they have a franchise quarterback, a franchise wide receiver and franchise defensive tackle, but they have two starting caliber running backs in their backfield.
Reggie Bush is the headline back, but Joique Bell managed to steal a lot of his thunder last season, so much so that there is talk of a team possibly stealing him away from the Lions. Detroit placed a second-sound tender on Bell to make sure that doesn't happen, and now the two sides seem to be hashing out a contract extension.
According to Tim Twentymen, the Lions and Bell have mutual interest in a long-term deal.
Bell also said he wants a long-term deal and not a restricted tag. He said there's mutual interest on both sides for that.
— Tim Twentyman (@ttwentyman) January 30, 2014
The Lions would be foolish to not consider this, as Reggie Bush isn't going to be around forever and the team will need a young back for the future. Bell is a young back with plenty of tread left on the tires, which could lead to a long-term deal as soon as this offseason.

California Golden Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has missed the final three games of the season with a knee injury and he will not be returning to the program. Instead, Allen will forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
Allen made the news official in a statement.
"I am grateful for all of the opportunities the University of California has provided me over the past three seasons," Allen said. "The experience and friendships I have gained at Cal will help me throughout my life both on and off the field. I have always dreamed of having an opportunity to play in the NFL, and my time at Cal has helped me get to the point in my career where I believe I am ready to take that next step. I am thankful for my experience at Cal and am excited about what the future holds."
He is considered by many to be the top wide receiver prospect in the 2013 NFL Draft class and could hear his name called in the first round of April's draft. This season, Allen finished as Cal's leader in receptions (61), receiving yards (737) and receiving touchdowns (six), despite missing time.
Allen leaves Cal as the school's all-time receptions leader with 205.

Mock session grading rubric?
Hello fitness professionals. I was wondering if anyone out there has a sample grading rubric that they use in the hiring process of personal trainers. Its basically a sheet or two that takes the personal trainer candidate through a mock PT session to see gauge how they interact with a client and a grading scale based on their exercise programming knowledge. If anyone has a good resource, please let me know!!Dan

I have a client who is 20 years old and currently a track athlete at a community college. Her ultimate goal is to try and walk-on to a university squad this summer.

serratus posterior inferior pain
serratus posterior inferior muscle painSerratus posterior inferior muscle pain (jennie hogan | 15 Feb 2014 )hello allI am taking on a new client who has had issues with his back for some time.he has had different diagnoses and has become frustrated and wants to see if we can get him feeling stronger again..the first doc thought it might be his quadratus lumborum,the last physio thought serratus posterior inferior muscle was strained.he has been cleared to work with me.I meet him tomorrow for an assessment .he has been experiencing this pain for about 8 months.before this he was a physically active guy.he is becoming depressed, gaining weight and loosing muscle mass.if he seems ok to train I was planning on gently introducing some back strengthening excersises,as well as core and lower body.i know the serratus inferior insertion attaches to the rib cage so I want to be careful of causing further damage.am I right to assume avoid cardio?I am pretty confident on the stretches I can do with him,just wanted some feedback( hypothetical of course) on what you might do with a client in this situation.like I mentioned he is clear to excersise..just in pain...for a long time.looking forward to your feedback.

Deadlifts in the exercise library?
Does the exercise library have barbell deadlifts? I have searched multiple ways and the closest thing I can find is dumbbell deadlifts. Am I missing something?
Big Toe Numbness and Can't Lift Toe Up
I have a client who is 60 years old who has numbness on his left big toe and ring toe. He said once he had back surgery it somehow or another affected his nerves. He is unable to lift his left big toe up. IMO, this has severely affected his balance. He can't balance on his left foot for more than 3 second. He can balance on his right for more than one minute. Basically for the last 2 weeks, I have been strengthen up his core, vmo, and ankle to improve his balance, but have not seen improvement on his balance. I have been forcing him to balance on on his left foot by controlling his hips. He struggles to balance himself while doing lunges, but can still do it. He can do bosu squats. I need some advice on how to help him.
High grade Spondylolosthesis 3/4 with Dysplastic L5/S1 Facet
A new client has the above condition & frequently participates in body combat & body pump as well as some gym sessions..her request is to gain more muscle size on her butt & legs as well as strengthing her midline. Although she is active I understand there has to be a compromise with regard to weight loading to build muscle. Can you advise on initial exercises to assess where we can progress too. Many thanks.
Extremely Tight Calves
I have a female client who is 50 years old who has extremely tight calves. She has always had tight calves for the past 3 years and she stretches 3 times a day. I started to foam roll out her calves at the start and end of the session, which seems to loosen them up, but it is still very tight. Do you know any exercises I can try do loosen up her calves? Is there a form of an assessment that I can use to tell me if it strictly the calves?Does not wear high heelsWell hydratedStretches out 3X a dayOverweightLower back painFlexible hamstrings
Fat burning supplements
Hi Is there a similar product to Grenade and other metabolic based result products, but I'm not keen on the caffeine, some of the side effects. So would like your opinion on other supplements such as conjugated linoleic acid and L'Carnitine I have heard that these can keep fat low and keep balance between lean muscle and fat levels. Would these help keep a lean look, while lifting heavy?Any help would be greatthanks in advanceLee

Excerpts from a conversation half/mis-remembered between two Reverse Shotters at the Toronto Film Festival:
Clarencecarter: I think Abel Ferrara's Mary and Chereau's Gabrielle were probably the best things I saw here.
Brotherfromanother: L'enfant for me. We didn't talk about the Chereau last night—you really liked it?
CC: Yeah, I feel like making one of these sort of stylistically hyper-modern period pieces was a really interesting step for him to take after Son frère, which I thought was fantastic. In a lot of ways the formal play in Gabrielle reminds of Desplechin.
BFA: But Desplechin is never quite that silly.
CC: You don't think so? I feel like he's pretty silly.
BFA: And I'm not sure if I really believe the central premise: that the upper middle class hurts too.
CC: But isn't that sort of endemic to the kind of Ibsen-esque examination he's undertaking? It didn't bother me so much, but you can't really knock Pascal Greggory and Isabelle Huppert's performances. Greggory is one of those actors I never really noticed until that creepy little movie Raja which I saw here a few years ago.
BFA: Sure they're terrific, but don't you get the sense that they never really become characters—that they're more puppets in this formal experiment Chereau's created?
CC: Exactly. That's one of the reasons I like it: it's an artificial, cold movie.
BFA: About hot passions.
CC: At least I think we can both agree that one of the real finds here has to be Jason Reitman's Thank You For Smoking.
BFA: Absolutely, long live sub-American Beauty middlebrow stabs at skewering the politically correct!
CC: Especially when made by the douchebag scion of a filmmaking family that should have been sterilized ages ago.
BFA: Could it be any other way?
(Brotherfromanother, feel free to correct the record.)

CHOCHENG Fall/Winter 2009
Helmut Lang Cropped Leather Jacket The lambskin leather of this jacket is so deliciously, creamy soft that any style details are almost beside the point. However, the design of this cropped jacket is amazing. The 4" tall ribbed knit collar can be worn up, and is fastened with four double snaps underneath, which give the closure an off center look at the top (where there's also a bit of a trench yoke as well). The front zipper lives under the hidden placket, which comes to a curved point in front. The back is shorter and has 3" of ribbed knit at the hem. We absolutely love the sleeves... they are leather to the elbows and then 10" of ribbed knit, ending with knit stirrups that keep things long and sleek inside gloves. Lined. Stunning. In black.

Arda Orcal of The Score is in Los Angeles this weekend for the SummerSlam festivities - lucky jerk - and managed to "score" - yuk yuk yuk - interviews with several WWE Superstars, including the short one you see above with Dolph Ziggler.
What did "The Show Off" have to say about his match tonight with Chris Jericho?
"It's absolutely without a doubt the biggest match of my career; the biggest match of my life. ...it's just my time."
Ziggler isn't just speaking in character. With Jericho on his way out to tour with his band Fozzy, it's likely the former Spirit Squad member walks away from Staples Center with the victory. This could be just the match he needs to catapult his career to the next level.
Speaking of Superstars hoping to make an impact, WrestleMania 27 WWE Championship title match winner The Miz is looking to rebound off a tough year and make the Intercontinental Championship a title worth wanting to win again.
"This is one of the most prestigious titles in all the WWE. Legends such as like Shawn Michaels, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Mr. Perfect have all held this belt."
In response to those who would point out that he won the second tier title after the WWE Championship, the former reality star simply replies, "This is my triple crown."

Introducing Our Fall Issue!
September 3, 2013 | by The Paris Review
Since 1953, a central mission of The Paris Review has been the discovery of new voices. Why? It's not just a matter of wanting to lead the pack or provide publishers with fresh blood. In "The Poet" Emerson wrote, "the experience of each new age requires a new confession." That's our idea, too.
Even by TPR standards, our Fall issue is full of new confessions. Readers will remember Ottessa Moshfegh, the winner of this year's Plimpton Prize. We think our other fiction contributors—and most of our poets—will be new to you. They certainly caught us off guard.
We also have new kinds of work from writers you do know—a photography portfolio curated by Lydia Davis, and a project more than twenty years in the works: Jonathan Franzen's translation of Karl Kraus, including some of the most passionate footnotes we've encountered since Pale Fire.
Find an interview with groundbreaking writer Ursula K. Le Guin:
A lot of twentieth-century— and twenty-first-century—American readers think that that's all they want. They want nonfiction. They'll say, I don't read fiction because it isn't real. This is incredibly naive. Fiction is something that only human beings do, and only in certain circumstances. We don't know exactly for what purposes. But one of the things it does is lead you to recognize what you did not know before.
The Art of Nonfiction with Emmanuel Carrère:
Your first impulse is to be terribly embarrassed by the other's suffering, and you don't know what to do, and then there's the moment when you stop asking yourself questions and you just do what you have to do.
All this plus new poems by former Paris Review editors Dan Chiasson, Charles Simic, and Frederick Seidel.

When John Ashbery reviewed Elizabeth Bishop's Complete Poems in 1969 for The New York Times, his review was accompanied by an illustration: two giant snails stretching from under their shells to touch one another. Ashbery never mentions the mollusks in his review, but beneath the image is an excerpt of Bishop's prose poem "Giant Snail."
"I give the impression of mysterious ease, but it is only with the greatest effort of my will," Bishop's mollusca persona muses, and one senses how very likely a proxy it is for the poet herself.
Bishop is not the only writer to have found solace or some of herself in a snail. Her coil-shelled critter was an homage to a paean by her mentor Marianne Moore. Moore's "To a Snail" is a discourse on poetics that culminates "in the absence of feet" and "the curious phenomenon of your occiptal horn." Moore seized on the snail's self-sufficiency and endless ability to contract, praising its "grace" and "modesty."
Two Poems: 'The Crew Change' and 'Rice in the Spoon'
August 11, 2011 | by Don Share
These poems by Don Share bring surprising music and thrilling turns of mind to the matter of everyday life. We especially liked the eerie litany of woebegone objects in "Rice in the Spoon": "Sea glass beached / on a porch bench" or, better yet, "A brown bust / of a sad man." Whether Jethro Tull's Aqualung is or is not a classic is a question Share's readers are left to settle for themselves. —Dan Chiasson
Postcard from Paris
July 14, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
Dear Thessaly,
You're probably still in bed, or finishing up a short story, but here in Paris it's four o'clock; across the street from my hotel the bells of Nôtre Dame are playing "Three Blind Mice"; and I owe you an update from the Ville-Lumière.
It's my first time here in years, since the indoor smoking ban in fact, but no sooner did I get through customs than I started craving a cigarette. I think it must be the strain of reading airport signs in French. This craving intensified in the taxi. By the time I got through breakfast at a tourist café on Saint Germain—jambon beurre, three cafés crèmes—it was time for a Gauloise Blonde and a nap.
My hosts at Shakespeare & Co. kindly booked me a room around the corner from the famous shop. Mine is the best room the Hotel Esmeralda has to offer, and one of the highest, smelling faintly but not unpleasantly of blow-dryer and dead mouse. It is five flights up. Reaching the top of the stairs, I dropped my bag, conked out, and dreamed of Robert Silvers: he had climbed up after me to inquire about an essay he had written on the early history of The Paris Review—an essay slated to run in our last issue, but it hadn't.
This anxiety dream is easy to explain. You see, on the flight over I'd been reading a doctoral dissertation, Enterprise in the Service of Art: A Critical History of The Paris Review, 1953–1973, in preparation for my talk at the bookstore: "The Paris Review: Past, Present, Future." I had taken plenty of notes, but nothing that added up to a talk.
Poem: Because my daughters are growing,
June 29, 2011 | by Tayve Neese
This is Tayve Neese's unsettling poem "Because my daughters are growing." The children's refrain ("Oh, Spider Mother") about their mother turns out, in that unforgettable final turn, to prefigure their own (potential) futures as mothers, "a small life" inside them that "struggles like an angry fly." Good poems change what we see: the next time I see a pregnant woman, thanks (I think!) to Neese, that's what I will see. —Dan Chiasson

Ashley Engle made her triumphant return to volleyball last night and pounded 15 kills with 9 blocks. It appears from the stats the team ran a 5-1 offense with Michelle setting. This is the lineup I have waited to see all year which is basically last year's with Brandy stepping in for Jen Todd and Juliann replacing Dariam. This is the team that WILL beat Nebraska in Austin and should make the Final Four.
The Gazelles are in action tomorrow (Friday) night at 6:30 against CU at Gregory.

Torino have their tails up ahead of Lazio's visit. A crushing 4-1 victory over Catania was followed up by a 1-1 draw at Genoa last weekend, which leaves the Granata just a point below their visitors. Giampiero Ventura's side look to have finally found some form after an inconsistent start. The Catania victory may have been their first win in nine games, but Torino have proved hard to beat thus far.
Toro have lived up to their tag of "draw specialists," with half of their games finishing level. However, they were the first team to take points off AS Roma and will now look to take advantage of a Lazio side dangerously low on confidence.
The Biancocelesti went down to a 4-2 defeat at home to Napoli on Monday evening to heap more pressure on the shoulders of Vladimir Petkovic. Speculation about the Bosnian's managerial future continues to be a hot topic over in Rome, with Switzerland reportedly making overtures for him to become their new coach after next summer's World Cup.
Without a win domestically in five games, the under performing Eagles languish a full ten points off the European places - a far cry from this point last season, when they were challenging Juventus for the top spot. The club are still without the services of veteran striker Miroslav Klose due to a shoulder injury. He hasn't travelled along with Stefan Radu (thigh) and Alvaro Gonzalez (broken hand). Keita Balde and Hernanes are both in the squad despite carrying knocks and Giuseppe Biava could replace Michael Ciani in defence after the Frenchman's poor showing against Napoli.
Torino have reported a clean bill of health and will continue to rely on star man Alessio Cerci to get them the goals. So far, the Italian international hasn't disappointed, notching up eight strikes to lie second in the Serie A scoring charts. Strike partner Ciro Immobile is three goals behind him.
The hosts have outscored their visitors by four goals so far this season. 14 of Toro's 23 strikes have come at home, while Lazio have found the net just seven times on the road. Defensively, both sides have been far from solid so a stalemate looks unlikely.
Lazio haven't won this fixture for five years, with Torino winning last season's snowy meeting 1-0.

Brian Kidd, also known as "the Unipiper," is a local celebrity in Portland. He's famous for something ridiculous -- riding around town on his unicycle while playing the bagpipes. In March 2012, Kidd posted a video of himself dressed as Darth Vader from Star Wars, unicycling while playing the Star Wars theme. And now he's back -- with fire.
Seen here riding with flaming bagpipes in front of a mural that reads, "Keep Portland Weird," the Unipiper is pushing the limits of the city's unofficial motto.

PNP Administration two-faced, under-handed on TSC firingTuesday, July 03, 2012
The Government's sacking of the Teachers' Services Commission (TSC) without any official notification from the Cabinet or the Ministry of Education is a disgraceful reminder of the unjust treatment meted out to the Public Service Commission (PSC) by the former Administration in 2008.
Readers will recall that the then prime minister, Mr Bruce Golding, fired the members of the PSC, accusing them of "persistent misconduct and unlawful behaviour" in carrying out their function.
Mr Golding's reference was to the PSC's dismissal of then Acting Deputy Solicitor-General Lackston Robinson and its failure to obey a 2007 court order to reinstate him.
But Mr Golding's detractors argued that he was using the Robinson case as an excuse to cover his disagreement with the PSC's recommendation of Dr Stephen Vasciannie to the post left vacant by the departure of Mr Michael Hylton.
Mr Golding's action resulted in then Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller obtaining a court injunction preventing Mr Golding from naming new members until after an application for a judicial review of his action was heard.
The legal tug of war between the Government and the Opposition eventually ended with Prime Minister Golding having his way and, needless to say, he and his Government were justifiably hauled over the coals by the Opposition, the media and civil society groups for their display of arrogance.
Given the moral position taken by the then Opposition on the issue, we had thought that they, once in Government, would avoid any similar behaviour. But maybe we were expecting too much. After all, these are politicians who are so steeped in the tribalism that has damaged this country that they are now bereft of shame.
There can be no plausible explanation for the callousness with which the Government ended the tenure of the TSC with just under a year left for the members to serve.
Even worse is the fact that Mr Alphansus Davis, who chaired the commission, said he learnt of the Government's decision after reading a newspaper report that the new TSC members would have to attend to a backlog of appointments of school principals.
We are even more surprised that the education minister, Rev Ronald Thwaites, had knowledge of the Cabinet's decision, given his own stridency in the past on the need for common decency and respect for people, especially those engaged in the public service.
Minister Thwaites, and indeed Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, who spares no effort in declaring herself a champion of people's rights, need to explain to the country why the executive saw it fit to fire the members of the TSC.
For as it now stands, their failure to give a reason for the unprincipled action is fuelling speculation that it is rooted in last year's dispute between Mr Davis and the Jamaica Teachers' Association over the decision of then Education Minister Andrew Holness to appoint Mr Davis as chairman while he served as an advisor to the minister.
The Government should also bear in mind that the contemptible manner in which it has conducted itself on this issue has placed the new members of the TSC in an untenable position.
They should also reflect on the fact that if governments continue to do business in this way we will never rid the country of the cancer of tribalism.

Tonight the best in the world* get to show off their considerable skills, embarrass goalies and do things on the ice they would never be able to do in games. Take Dion Phaneuf for example... oh wait he didn't make it.

August 07, 2012, 9:17 PM — Verizon Wireless Tuesday revealed that there are five additional data tiers over and above the six tiers announced with its Share Everything plans earlier this summer.
The new top tier costs $150 a month for 20GB, a spokeswoman said.
The five new tiers, which are not detailed on Verizon's Web site, join the six buckets of data unveiled in June with the Verizon Share Everything program.
The original plans range from a low of 1GB for $50 a month to 10GB for $100 a month. The data can be shared among up to 10 mobile devices under the program. The other tiers above the top 10GB one listed on the web site are 12GB for $110 a month, 14GB for $120 a month, 16GB for $130 a month, 18 GB for $140 a month and 18GB for $150 a month, the spokeswoman tols Computerworld today.
The maximum that can be purchased in advance is 20 GB, she added.
The Verizon Wireless spokeswoman, Brenda Raney, said the carrier has been offering the higher tiers of data to customers since June, mainly through customer service via phone or in its stores.
The upper tiers were not posted with the original six tiers on the Verizon web site in order to keep the program simple and because "the majority of customers use under 2GB a month," Raney said. "Who would need 20GB?"
Computerworld contacted Verizon about the upper tiers after a reader, Bryan Sherman, commented on a Computerworld story that compared Verizon's shared data costs with those of AT&T's coming Mobile Share plans.
Sherman noticed that Verizon's charge of $150 for 20 GB would be $50 less than AT&T's $200 monthly charge for sharing 20 GB across 10 users. Sherman derived the Verizon 20GB charge by noticing a footnote on its Web site that says Verizon will charge $10/month for 2GB if a customer needs more than 10GB of data.
Raney said that customers needing more than 10GB in a given month can buy 2GB for $10 by logging into their account on the tab "My Verizon" at www.verizonwireless.com.
However, she said that capability only applies to purchasing one allotment of 2GB of extra data per month, not multiple ones.
To get to 20 GB -- or 12GB, 14GB, 16GB or 18GB -- a customer must arrange with customer service to get that allotment as part of a monthly plan, Raney said.

4Rihanna Has Some Ugly Clothes
Rihanna has been out and about for Paris Fashion Week, flashing her nipples, seeing some runway shows, the usual. She seems to have a different ludicrous outfit every day, and her most recent one for the Commes Des Garçons show on Saturday, was really terrible. The leather jacket and the Louise-from-Bob's-Burgers hat are only marginally offensive, but that fur stole is just shameful. Not because it's fur, but because it's really fucking ugly.
Here's a question: what's with the fur with the words on it now? Why is this a thing? We have to make fur even more hideous by writing catchphrases on it now? I really just do not understand the trend. Mind you, RiRi's is slightly less awful than Khloe Kardashian's, but this trend needs to go IMMEDIATELY.

2Rihanna Isn't Even Trying to Wear Clothes Anymore
Rihanna is currently in France for Paris Fashion Week, so of course she needs to push the envelope in terms of the outfits she wears when attending some of the runway shows, right? Well, in lieu of clothes, how about sorta-clothes, like a mesh see-through top with nothing under it? Rihanna's got you covered…
While she may not be trying to be a rebel, she is trying to do one thing: show you her breasts. Check behind the jump for the NSFW photos.

0So, What's Going On with Rihanna and Drake?
Yeah, yeah, it's this old story again. Rihanna and Drake performed together at a Paris concert and got a little cozy with some sexy dancing and all of that and now everyone's wondering if they're together. Chances are, the answer to that is a definite NO, but I'd say they're probably sleeping together again – or were while they were in the same place.
They were also seen together the night before this at the Soixante Dix Neuf nightclub, also in Paris, where they were apparently "getting cozy". I sorta like them as a couple, but I thought Drake was with Jhené Aiko. Hmm…

0Rihanna's Not Trying to Be a Rebel
I feel like Rihanna has kinda tamed herself in the past several months – or maybe we're just that desensitized to her crotch patting, stripper visiting, ass-baring ways. Either way, I wasn't really moved by her new interview in Vogue, in which she insists that she's not trying to be a rebel, she's just unconventional and likes going against the grain.
Fair enough, of course, but I don't really see Rihanna as a rebel at this point. She's just… RiRi. She likes to get her ass out and smoke a lot of weed and that's what she does. She's never been a role model and isn't trying to be and yada yada… so why is this still a discussion?
Here's what she had to say, anyway:
"I don't go out of my way to be a rebel or to have that perception, but a lot of the decisions I make, a lot of the direction I want to move, is against the grain, or against society's tight lane.
"I'm aware of that sometimes. It might not be fitting with the norm, but that's okay for me."
Cool. On a side note, that hand tattoo is just horrendous. Why would you layer tattoos on top of one another? Why? And then show it off in a magazine? Just personal preference, of course, but dear God.

0Rihanna's Former Accountant Almost Left Her Bankrupt
Rihanna is rich as shit and is worth about $45 million these days – certainly enough to ensure that she's well set for life. However, this wasn't always the case, and in fact she was apparently close to bankruptcy back in 2009 when some shitty accountant at Berdon LLP lost $9 million of her money. She's not taking things lying down, either – she's suing!
From the New York Daily News:
The 25-year-old pop star, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, says accountant Peter Gounis of Berdon LLP recommended she purchase a $7.5 million Beverly Hills mansion in 2009 — so she went ahead and bought it.
"Mr. Gounis advised Ms. Fenty that she could afford to purchase [the home] at a time when Ms. Fenty was in financial dismay," her court documents say.
"In 2009, Ms. Fenty was 'running out of cash' and Mr. Gounis knew this," the papers say, quoting a deposition in Rihanna's federal breach of contract and negligence lawsuit.
"Ms. Fenty's accounts were so diminished that requested wire transfers would not go through. In fact, Ms. Fenty was effectively bankrupt at the end of 2009."
"Mr. Gounis was fully apprised of Ms. Fenty's financial condition, yet, nonetheless, failed to advise her that the purchase would be unwise," her new court papers say. "In fact, in or around March 2009, defendants advised Ms. Fenty by email that purchasing a home in Los Angeles 'would be a good investment.' "
That's not all, either – apparently the accountant knew that her Last Girl On Earth Tour was going to lose money and yet failed to advise her on this, as well.
Some people might say that Rihanna should have known better, etc, but when you're not super on the ball with money and you've got so much of it, this is why you hire someone who IS good at it and who can help you manage it in a smart way. If this dude was a good accountant, he'd have paid more attention to these things and helped his client more effectively manage her investments.
Of course, Gounis isn't taking any responsibility for his negligence, saying only:
"These allegations are false," Thomas Manisero, a lawyer for Berdon LLP, said Wednesday. "Berdon acted properly concerning Ms. Fenty's affairs."
LOL, kay. He was fired in 2010.

1Rihanna and Shakira Are Humping Walls in the 'Can't Remember to Forget You' Video
It was recently announced that Shakira and Rihanna had formed an unlikely duo for Shakira's new single, 'Can't Remember to Forget You', a terrible rock-raggae-pop track (the reggae bit is apparently why Shakira thought of Rihanna) whose video doesn't look to be much better, if the mini preview that's been released is anything to go by.
The video is sure to include the following:
- some light lesbo action (to keep male visitors enthralled, I suppose)
- some wall-humping
And God knows what else, really. The song sucks, so the video won't really be any better – even Rihanna's twerking looks phoned in. It'll probably do okay in the charts (definitely not a #1) by virtue of the artists performing it, but I think it's a bit of a let down, myself.
Have a look:

Police have arrested a Huntington man in connection with a robbery that took place Jan. 12 at the FoodFair Market on 6th Avenue, when a 79-year-old female's purse was stolen.
According to Huntington Police, Jonathan Hardiman has been charged with 2nd degree robbery.
Hardiman is currently in the Western Regional Jail.
Huntington Police need your help locating a suspect whom they say stole a woman's purse along the 100 block of 6th Avenue in Huntington around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Dispatchers say a male suspect took the purse in the Food Fair parking lot, and fled in an unknown direction.
There were no reported injuries. It is unclear whether the suspect brandished a weapon.

New Electronics
By George Otto ~ February 3rd, 2014. Filed under: New Electronics.
Most mariners own a smart phone thinking that it eliminates the need for a satellite phone. But handheld satellite phones are a great safety feature, and every mariner should clearly understand the difference between a satellite phone and a cellphone—whether (the phone is) smart or otherwise.
A satellite handheld does one important thing really well: it enables communication when there is no other way to communicate. Smart phones, while loaded with features, work only when they can connect with cell towers, and there are very few of those in the open ocean or sparsely populated cruising destinations. In contrast, satellite phones operate when their antennae have a "clear view" of a satellite in orbit, which can be anywhere on land or water regardless of cell tower location.
The difference between the three major sat phone brands available in North America are driven by the different types of satellite constellations each uses. All three satellite communication systems have one thing in common—their satellites are accessed through ground stations that act as gateways between the regular earth-based phone and internet system, and the satellite arrays themselves.cell towers, communication at sea, Electronics, handheld phones, Satellite phones, Southern Boating

This is the second in a series of tutorials on developing a full featured version of Breakout.
In the first tutorial we covered drawing primitive objects on the screen using the Canvas element and developing the basic game screen.
In this tutorial, we will use setInterval() to add some animation and capture keydown and keyup events to respond to user input (so we can move the paddle).
We will use the code from the last tutorial as our starting point.
Lets get started.
To animate objects in the game, we need to draw them, move them a little, and then redraw them. To do this, we create an animate() function and place our calls to the drawing functions inside it. For now, lets focus on only the paddle and the ball.
function animate () { drawPaddle(); drawBall(); }
Now we need to figure out a way to call animate() repeatedly at regular intervals. Luckily, Javascript has a function called setInterval() which keeps calling a given function repeatedly at fixed time intervals until the clearInterval() function is called.
function startGame(){ // call the animate() function every 20ms until clearInterval(gameLoop) is called gameLoop = setInterval(animate,20); } function endGame(){ clearInterval(gameLoop); context.fillText('The End!!!!',canvas.width/2,canvas.height/2); } startGame();
We create two functions called startGame() and endGame() to begin the animation and end it. We can also use startGame() to do any pre-game initialization of variables.
Now that the game loop is setup, we need to start moving the elements during the loop.
We start by creating a moveBall() function and calling it from within animate().
var ballDeltaX; var ballDeltaY; function moveBall(){ // Move the ball ballX = ballX + ballDeltaX; ballY = ballY + ballDeltaY; } function animate () { moveBall(); drawPaddle(); drawBall(); } function startGame(){ ballDeltaY = -4; ballDeltaX = -2; // call the animate() function every 200ms until clearInterval(gameLoop) is called gameLoop = setInterval(animate,20); }
The moveBall() function adjusts the ball coordinates by adding the ball speed. We initalize balldeltaX and ballDeltaY when the game starts.
Now that everything is in place, the ball should start moving.
However when we open the file in a browser, we see something weird.
Instead of a moving ball, we have a long black line. The ball keeps moving, however the old balls stay behind, leaving a long trail along the path. We need to clear the earlier objects before drawing new ones.
To do this, we can use the clearRect() method.
function animate () { context.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
This line clears the entire canvas at the beginning of the animation loop. When we run the code now, it looks like a moving ball instead of a long snake.
The next problem is that our ball doesn't bounce off the walls. It keeps moving past the edge of the canvas and disappears. To fix that, lets add some conditions to check when the ball is moving outside the boundary.
function moveBall(){ // First check if we will bump into something // If top of the ball touches the top then reverse Y direction (move downwards) if (ballY + ballDeltaY - ballRadius < 0){ ballDeltaY = -ballDeltaY; } // If the bottom of the ball touches the bottom of the screen then end the game if (ballY + ballDeltaY + ballRadius > canvas.height){ endGame(); } // If side of ball touches either side of the wall then reverse X direction //left of ball moves too far left if ((ballX + ballDeltaX - ballRadius < 0) || //or right side of ball moves too far right (ballX + ballDeltaX + ballRadius > canvas.width)){ ballDeltaX = -ballDeltaX; } // Move the ball ballX = ballX + ballDeltaX; ballY = ballY + ballDeltaY; }
Great! Now the ball is bouncing off the walls properly and when it touches the ground the game ends.
Now lets animate the paddle. To move the paddle, we need to first track the left and right keys and keep track of where the paddle should move during the next animate(). We do this by using the keydown() and keyup() jQuery methods to assign event handlers for these events.
var paddleMove; function startGame(){ ballDeltaY = -4; ballDeltaX = -2; paddleMove = 'NONE'; paddleDeltaX = 0; // call the animate() function every 200ms until clearInterval(gameLoop) is called gameLoop = setInterval(animate,20); // Start Tracking Keystokes $(document).keydown(function(evt) { if (evt.keyCode == 39) { paddleMove = 'RIGHT'; } else if (evt.keyCode == 37){ paddleMove = 'LEFT'; } }); $(document).keyup(function(evt) { if (evt.keyCode == 39) { paddleMove = 'NONE'; } else if (evt.keyCode == 37){ paddleMove = 'NONE'; } }); }
The event handlers check if the key pressed or key released is Left (key code 39) or Right (key code 37) and stores this in a paddleMove variable. We will check this variable every time we animate to see where the paddle needs to move next.
The next thing we need to do is define another movePaddle() function that is called just like moveBall().
var paddleDeltaX; var paddleSpeedX = 10; function movePaddle(){ if (paddleMove == 'LEFT'){ paddleDeltaX = -paddleSpeedX; } else if (paddleMove == 'RIGHT'){ paddleDeltaX = paddleSpeedX; } else { paddleDeltaX = 0; } // If paddle reaches the side of the screen, then don't let it move any further if (paddleX + paddleDeltaX < 0 || paddleX + paddleDeltaX +paddleWidth >canvas.width){ paddleDeltaX = 0; } paddleX = paddleX + paddleDeltaX; } function animate () { context.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height); moveBall(); movePaddle(); drawPaddle(); drawBall(); }
We now call this new movePaddle() function from animate() as well.
Great! Now the paddle moves to the left and right when we use the cursor keys.
The last thing we need to do is make the ball bounce if it hits the paddle. We just need to add a condition to the other collision checks in moveBall().
// if bottom of ball reaches the top of paddle, if (ballY + ballDeltaY + ballRadius >= paddleY){ // and it is positioned between the two ends of the paddle (is on top) if (ballX + ballDeltaX >= paddleX && ballX + ballDeltaX <= paddleX + paddleWidth){ ballDeltaY = - ballDeltaY; } }
And thats it! The paddle moves perfectly, the ball bounces off the wall and the paddle, and if the ball hits the ground, the game ends.
We have come a long way from an empty rectangle on the browser. Of course, this game is still a little boring with just a ball and paddle.
In the next tutorial, we will bring back the bricks that we drew before, handle the ball colliding with these bricks, and finally increase the score when a brick gets destroyed.
You can download the finished source code for this tutorial below.

If it's hard for you to put eye drops in your own eyes, here's something new that might help. It's called Drop Zones from Assistive Technology Products, and it looks like a pair of glasses, but you screw the eye drop bottle into the drop zones, put it on like you're wearing glasses, and tilt your head back.
That way, the drop simply falls into your eye. If you'd like more information about Drop Zones, you can (click here).

Great family fun. The interactive children's part before the actual show was a highlight. The circus was good times, though obviously not at be level of Cirque du Soleil. Of course it's a quarter of the price, so no complaints here.

Governor Peter Shumlin spoke to Vermonters Monday morning at The Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast, sharing what he calls key factors to a healthy economy."We've got a bright future. We will compete. We will continue to grow jobs and economic opportunities. We just have to get those things right -- that is the best economic development plan you can put together," Shumlin said. The governor addressed numerous questions about Vermont's health care system and his hopes to see a publicly financed system, but he acknowledges the long road to a solution. "We're not going to find one single thing that's going to solve the problem. If we rely entirely on pay roll tax and the pay roll tax is too high, you leave too many people out," he said."Not everybody would agree with how the governor wants to re-frame health care but they agree that we have to do something different, and that's where the spirit of Vermont and Vermonters come together," said the LCRCC's Tom Torti. But some business leaders are still worried about Vermont Health Connect. Tom Clavelle runs a construction company and says it seems the new exchange brings more problems than solutions. "For a lot of businesses, while what they have may not be perfect, it's a system that has worked as far as individual businesses are concerned. As far as the overall health care system is concerned, it may not be a system that works," Clavelle said.Health care was not the only topic. A qualified workforce is also a concern. The Governor said the key is access to education. "The biggest challenge that we face as we go into this recovery is that we ensure that we have enough employees to do the work of the 21st century -- is having an educated workforce," he said.Another concern -- taxes and the budget. The governor says his plan includes reducing the curve of growth and cutting spending as opposed to raising taxes. "My budget this year will make additional reductions in that one time funding so we can be on a responsible fiscal path going forward," Shumlin said.But with a $70 million dollar budget deficit already, it wont be an easy job. Shumlin presents the details of his budget to lawmakers on Wednesday.

MichaelP made a couple of astute comments (as he always does) that the Panthers' disappointing seasons that followed playoff appearances (the sad sack '04 and '06 seasons) were more the result of major injuries, and less about "hype" and "expectations" and all the attendant hoopla. Specifically, he noted:
Losing Steve Smith and Kris Jenkins along with being down to our 5th-string RB in '04.
Losing Delhomme for the last three games of '06, when we went 1-2 and came up one game short of the playoffs. Or losing Morgan, Wharton, and Hartwig within the first two weeks of the season?
I might add Mike Rucker's end-of-season ACL tear in '06. Not that I'm piling on. Just sayin', is all.
Sure, we sucked mightily those two years due to big-time injuries at critical positions. So let's spit in the eye of Fate and see who we could lose this year that would produce the same level of horrid results, countdown list style: Top 6 Players For The Love Of God We Had Better Not Lose!
6- Jon Beason - Losing the heart of our defense wouldn't be quite as bad as losing Morgan was in... well, all those (many, many) seasons when he got hurt. We've got Dan Conner as a more-than-capable (we hope) backup, which should otherwise allow the rest of the defense to keep rockin'. When Morgan went down, we had to move Witherspoon inside where he wasn't as effective and our weakside play was severely diminished. While Conner wouldn't be the Pro Bowl/All-Pro type player that Beason is, the hope is that he would at least allow the other LBs to remain focused on their positions.
5- Travelle Wharton - This is counter-intuitive, since we've got guys who can step in to fill the LG role. But Wharton's real value comes in his ability to step into the LT position in a time of need. If Gross is out for a series or two, or a game or two, Wharton moves over and the drop-off is not epic in scale. If Otah goes down for any serious length of time, then Gross can move to the RT, Wharton slides to LT and we plug in a guard. All of our contingency plans revolve around Wharton's ability to slide out to Tackle. If he's out there, it means we're not going to be as effective as we could be. But if he's not there, we're really screwed (See: Abraham v. Delhomme, 2007).
4- Chris Gamble - Big, big problems. Last season, Carolina was 8th best in the league at shutting down a QB's #1 receiver. We were 18th and 17th at shutting down their #2 and #3, respectively. That's the sort of drop off between Chris Gamble matched up on their top guy versus Richard Marshall against their third guy. We lose Gamble, then we're likely looking at CJ Wilson starting opposite Marshall, with Sherron Martin at nickel. That, my friends, is not a good position for us to be in.
3- Ma'ake Kemoeatu - As bad as it would be to lose our best pass defender, it would be one thousand times worse to lose our best run defender. You think we have trouble getting off the field on third downs now? Try it when the other team's looking at 3rd and 1 fifteen times per game, and our biggest D Tackle is an undrafted guy from the practice squad we signed off the Montreal Alouettes roster. If we don't have Ma'ake, we don't stop the run. Ever. Imagine the pain you felt in overtime of the Giants game last year, watching Derrick Ward go crazy, except that's happening in the second, third and fourth quarters.
2- Steve Smith - Armageddon? I don't think so. Not having Smitty costs us two or three games and knee-caps our passing attack, but it's not the end of the world. Remember the last time he went down, 2004? Moose had his best season, made it to the Pro Bowl and was named first team All-Pro (then signed with Chicago, and... nevermind, too painful). Wouldn't quite happen the same way, but the offense could adjust. We just lose the big play is all, and there are places where that'll cost us. Conversely, with him gone, Jake's not forcing the ball into places it doesn't belong (see: Nnamdi Asomugha v. Delhomme, Oakland '08).
1- Jake Delhomme - Yes, this really is Armageddon. Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! The Panthers cannot operate without competent and capable leadership at the quarterback position. We have seen no proof that we have anything of substance behind Jake (and whether Jake himself is a thing of substance... well, that's your call). We suffer at least five more losses without Jake. Seriously, if Jake goes down, we may very well be looking at new team management next season.
Any other vital players you think deserve to be on the list? Any on the list that shouldn't be? Obviously, if we go through halfbacks like we did in '04 or the '05 playoffs, we're screwed no matter how you shake it up.

The Bupyeong Fire Station is still unclear as to how the battery ignited in the first place, but they did make it clear that the lithium-ion battery was not in the phone at the time of the incident.
The burning battery led to the man suffering from a one inch wide, second degree wound on his thigh. Even though it was reported that the battery exploded, there won't be any investigations into the matter (on Samsung's part) since Li-ion batteries have a tendency of heating up pretty quickly when being recharged or heavily discharged. A good guess may point towards some form of contact being made while it was in his pocket, maybe from contact made by a paper clip, coin, or some other metallic object.

"This book is a beautiful time capsule that looks back to the roots of American gastronomy, when the values of gardening and fresh ingredients were the primary inspiration. Margaret Yardley Potter's warm, witty stories and recipes show us that our great-grandmothers instinctually understood that food is central to a life well-lived." --Alice Waters
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, rediscovered a dusty, yellowed hardcover called At Home on the Range, originally written by her great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter. Having only been peripherally aware of the volume, Gilbert dug in with some curiosity, and soon found that she had stumbled upon a book far ahead of its time. In her workaday cookbook, Potter espoused the importance of farmer's markets and ethnic food (Italian, Jewish, and German), derided preservatives and culinary shortcuts, and generally celebrated a devotion to epicurean adventures. Part scholar--she includes a great recipe from 1848 for boiled sheep head--and part crusader for a more open food conversation than currently existed, it's not hard to see from where Elizabeth Gilbert inherited both her love of food, and her warm, infectious prose.
