SALEM — Some young offenders convicted of having sex with underage partners would be able to request the crime be removed from their records under a bill narrowly passed by the Oregon House on Wednesday.
Voting 31 to 27, the House sent the bill to the Senate with little discussion.
Under the bill, in order for adult offenders to apply to have their records erased, coercion or force could not have been used in the sex act. Other conditions include completion of all required court-ordered programs and treatments.
Proponents say the current punishment for such sex offenders does not fit the crime. Opponents say people convicted of sex crimes often reoffend and should not be able to have their records expunged.
"Individuals who commit sex offenses ... this isn't their first time and it won't be their last," said Crook County District Attorney Daina Vitolins, who opposes the bill on behalf of the Oregon District Attorneys Association.
To say an act is consensual when it involves a person who is too young to give consent is indefensible and minimizes the law, Vitolins said.
The age of consent in Oregon is 18.
For offenders to have their records cleared under the proposed law, they could be no more than five years older than the victim, and the victim must be at least 14. For sex crimes committed by a minor, the victim must be at least 12 and the age difference can be no more than three years.
House Speaker Tina Kotek, a sponsor, brought the legislation forward after hearing from a constituent who was 14 when his friend's parents reported him to the authorities for engaging in inappropriate behavior — which did not involve intercourse — with their young daughter.
"This is the difference between a life of hopelessness and a future for this individual," the Portland Democrat told lawmakers last month.
Among those testifying for the bill was Matthew Shettles, who served three years' probation on a charge of sex abuse for having sex with his girlfriend in 2004 on the night of his high school graduation.
In written testimony, Shettles said he had just turned 18 at the time and she was five weeks shy of 15. A counselor learned of the encounter and was required by a mandatory reporting law to inform authorities, he said.
He said having a sex crime on his record has made it difficult to get hired and rent an apartment. Employers and housing agencies often run criminal background checks.
"It doesn't seem reasonable that a guy who had sex with his girlfriend should have to pay for the rest of his life," Shettles said in the written testimony.
Under the bill, only sex crimes that meet a specific set of requirements could be erased from an offender's record.
Among other things, the person must have successfully applied to be removed from the state's sex offender registry and cannot have been convicted of other serious crimes.
In 2007, the Legislature eased the requirement of lifetime sex-offender registration for young people who have consensual sex with teenagers.
To be erased from the sex offender registry, the crime must have been illegal only because the victim was underage. And, among other things, the victim must have been at least 14 and the offender could be no more than five years older.

Star Citizen reaches for the stars, has raised close to $30 million
If there's one game that should be on all PC gamers' calendars, it needs to be Star Citizen. The crowdfunded game from the gaming god himself, Chris Roberts, has reached an incredible $28 million in funding.
Thanks to hitting the $28 million goal, a new ship has been unveiled, the Mustang personal spacecraft. With the introduction of the Mustang, there'll now be two starter ships for Star Citizen's to get into the game with, joining the Aurora spacecraft. Now that the $28 million stretch goal has been met, the developer is doing something different with the next goal.
Cloud Imperium Games' latest blog post on the Roberts Space Industries website says that they are always asked where the extra funding from stretch goals goes... well, every dollar goes toward hiring new talent to build Star Citizen, as well as giving the team better development tools, and expanding the talent outside of the studio itself. The new stretch goal is now $31 million, where gamers can decide which ship will be introduced when it hits the new goal.
Assassin's Creed IV update for the PS4 is here, brings 1080p support
We reported about it not long ago, but it looks like the new version 1.03 patch for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is on its way, and it will bring 1080p support to the PlayStation 4.
Associate Producer, Sylvain Trottier took to a blog, saying: "The most important part of this title update is not necessarily 1080p native resolution. It's the fact that even when we were done with the project, even when we were finished with the certification and everything else, even when most of the engineers had started to work on other projects - like we always do at Ubisoft -some of my engineers continued to work on Black Flag and they even developed a brand-new anti-aliasing technique."
This new AA technique will be featured on the Xbox One version of the game, which will launch on Friday.
Assassin's Creed designer: Watch Dogs is 'the path for the future'
Assassin's Creed has turned from a small IP, into something that really drove sales for current generation consoles, but now an Assassin's Creed IV designer has come out and talked up Watch Dogs.
AC IV designer, Jean-Sebastien Decant has said that Watch Dogs could be what defines the next-generation consoles, with the open-world game helping to define the new consoles, like Assassin's Creed did for the Xbox 360 and PS3. During an interview with Games Reactor, Decant said: "Watch Dogs is kind of showing us the path for the future. I think we're going toward a gaming place where the open world will be shared with other players. More and more. Socially speaking, but also maybe multiplayer stuff. And we will have to consider the open world much more like a platform that we could sustain for years."
New patch removes 6GB RAM requirement for Call of Duty: Ghosts
Call of Duty: Ghost is a next-gen game in the sense that it is the latest game in the Call of Duty franchise, but it is not however next-gen in terms of technology. When Infinity Ward announced that the game would require 6GB of RAM to run on the PC, many gamers were left asking why the game would ever need 6GB of RAM to work on a PC.
It appears that the answer to that question is that it does not require and simply can not use up 6GB of RAM at its current texture levels. Today Infinity Ward released a new patch that removes the 6GB requirement, effectively confirming what everyone thought in the first place. The patch also introduces new eSports rules as well as a new "Broadcaster" mode that will allow gamers to record their gameplay in first-person, third-person and over-the-shoulder mode.
Fallout 4 is close to being announced, trademark has been filed
The world has been waiting for the announcement from Bethesda regarding Fallout 4, but it looks like those days are numbered. The developer has filed for a trademark application for Fallout 4 in Europe.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's going to happen, or we'll hear of something, but remember that IGN reported a teaser website that was uncovered by some keen-eyed Reddit users. Again, this doesn't completely prove the existence of Fallout 4, but it gives it more credit than nothing happening at all. We will have news of Fallout 4 as soon as it breaks.
New study says games have no negative impact in kids
Are video games causing the youth of today, and tomorrow, with behavioral or emotional problems in the future? Well, according to a huge new study of 11,000 kids, no, no it does not.
The University of Glasgow used surveys from mothers in a massive millennial survey to track behavior over time. The goal of this study was to see if there was any connection between screen time, and behavioral or emotional troubles in the future. The authors dived into the study wanting to use both TV and video games, arguing the point that there is a connection with attention disorders, anger and other problems that might be connected to both.
The researchers wanted to know if "games may have more powerful effects due to active user engagement, identification with characters and repeated rehearsal and reinforcement." Then, we have some key findings, where "exposure to video games had no effect on behavior, attention or emotional issues." The study also found that "neither television nor video games lead to attentional or emotional problems."

Ubisoft expects big things from next-gen consoles
Sony has already sold 1 million PS4s, and is hoping to sell a total of 5 million units before March 2014, but Ubisoft is expecting even bigger things from the next-gen consoles.
Senior VP of Marketing and Sales for Ubisoft, Tony Key, recently said that Ubisoft's "feeling is the installed base of these machines will be much faster to take hold than previous generations" when discussing the PS4 and Xbox One during an interview with Games Industry International. When referring to the number of current generation consoles sold over the same period of time, Key said: "In the first couple of years, we expect double the installed based of previous generations. The reason why is: The last cycle was longer, so there's a lot of pent up demand."
Remember, Ubisoft has a few tricks up its sleeve, one of them being Watch Dogs, which was delayed into spring 2014, where he said: "Watch Dogs is designed to be a long-term brand for Ubisoft. We won't launch it until we know it's equaling the vision it can achieve."
Battlefield 4 hit by massive DDoS attack over the weekend
Battlefield 4 players may have experienced an excessive amount of server disconnects over the past weekend, and while many may have attributed them to bugs released with the game, EA says that they were the result of a massive DDoS attack. A new report from Bit-Tech claims that an EA employee has confirmed that Battlefield 4 was targeted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
While Battlefield 4 players have come to expect random server crashes, the number reported this weekend seemed to rise exponentially despite the fact that EA released an update around the same time that was said to fix the issues. It is still unknown who launched the denial of service attacks, or why they did it. The rep from EA did say that the company was working on preventing this from happening in the future, and they are continuing to work out bugs in-game that affect gameplay.
Battlefield 4's latest patch should fix network and crashing problems
I noticed this a few hours ago when I went to have a quick 5-minute game of Battlefield 4, that there is a large 1GB+ patch available. This patch will reportedly address many of the concerns gamers have, with crashes and server failures, and more.
There's some patch notes here you can skim over, but we should see a big fix in overall stability of BF4 for one. Secondly, network syncing problems should hopefully be fixed, which should have gamers smiling once again. DICE is aware of the issues, and is continuing to work around the clock to address them. DICE has also fixed some holes up on the server side of things, which should give more overall stability to BF4 multiplayer.
Ubisoft announces 1080p update for Assassin's Creed Black Flag on PS4
The People at Ubisoft shipped out Assassin's Creed Black flag at 900p to make sure the GPU and CPU ran the game at a consistent 30 frames per second. They will be sending an update to make the game native 1080p. The update will also include an anti-aliasing which will improve jagged edges in the graphics. Anti-aliasing will be available on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. Ubisoft says the update will be available shortly after launch.
Community manager Gary Steinman: "Finishing the game at 900p gave the development team the extra room in terms of the GPU and CPU usage to ensure the frame rate never dips below 30 frames per second. The team then used the time between the ship date and the release to focus on a title update that could deliver native 1080p resolution on the PS4."

Metering Relationships in the Era of Deregulation
to remit to the IPP (the wheeler would add a markup for wheeling charges). Under a third option, the end-use customer receives two bills: one bill from the wheeler for net wheeling charges, and a second bill for energy charges from the IPP.
Either way, nonpayment leads to IPP service termination, but through the tariff process laid down by the wheeler (remember, it's the utility's meter). In reality, it is the IPP, as customer of record, who fails to pay the wheeler, who in turn terminates service. Wheeling charges borne by the IPP for the end-use customer would continue until account closure or shutoff. Reconnection to the wheeler, at tariffed prices (or with another IPP at market prices), would depend upon payment of unpaid wheeling charges, not energy charges. Even though obligated to pay wheeling charges, a clever IPP would refrain from paying them as leverage to impede service reconnection with the local wheeler and gain prompt payment of all energy charges. Risks are actually shared by the IPP and the wheeling utility.
Scenario #3:
IPP Takes Over
In this scenario, the IPP breaks out of local meter control by substituting its own multidata meter, which would communicate information to the IPP as well as the wheeler for the customer, now known as an IPP metered customer or IMC. These smart meters, some of which are in trial runs, would communicate by cellular, remote, cable, fiber optics, or telephone lines. Obviously uneconomic at this time for mass residential use, absent big capital expenditure, these remote reading methods offer unlimited potential for medium- and large-sized customers, who would share some costs and whose energy volume would justify the cost. Electronic shared billing permits the local wheeler to track delivery charges.
The IPP would assume complete risk for the IMC's nonpayment and remain liable for wheeling charges until account closure or shutoff, again using nonpayment of wheeling charges as leverage for payment for energy. Assuming all credit risks with an IMC, the IPP would establish the account and credit terms, bill for all charges, and shut off for nonpayment either remotely (depending upon the technology) or manually, probably through a local contractor or the wheeler itself.
But the IMC (the consumer), faced with an IPP-initiated shut-off, may reconnect to the local wheeler, through the same or new meter, but subject to new credit terms. Assuming that the IPP would have paid all wheeling charges (and likewise absorbed the loss), the local utility would not condition reconnection upon payment of IPP wheeling or energy charges. However, the fact of nonpayment to the last IPP might convince the local wheeler to demand and receive a healthy deposit. Assuming that the IPP has not paid the wheeling charges (perhaps as a ploy to keep the customer?), the IMC, as a condition of service, might be compelled to pay the wheeling charges again. Failure to pay outstanding wheeling charges might prevent the customer from acquiring energy from any IPP, as the wheeler has no obligation to provide wheeling service, absent payment of those charges.
Competitive forces could motivate

You really ought to have grounds of probable cause for a citizens areest and also if your not a professional police officer you should have back up.
1. HAVE A REASON TO ARREST. Be damn sure you can out lawyer a cop and not rely on "feels" and "muh freedoms". What you do needs to stick to a jury's mind as appropriate.
2. Organize a legally armed possie. It isn't just muscle, it is a validation that this arrest is going down despite the law breaker's protests and brings legitimacy to the scene. If you have a local militia, they may be able to give you advice on how to handle yourself.

Presidential Helicopter Acquisition:
Effort Delayed as DOD Adopts New Approach to Balance Requirements, Costs, and Schedule

What GAO Found
The formal start of the VXX presidential helicopter program has been delayed, as finding an acceptable solution has proved elusive. Last year, we reported that the VXX effort was in the earliest stages of development--still developing a business case to launch product development. At that time, an AOArequired for a Milestone A decision initiating the programwas nearing completion and a Milestone A decision was expected to occur sometime in fiscal year 2011. In March 2011 the Navy sent DOD its VXX AOA study, which Navy officials stated was done in compliance with DOD-provided guidance. DOD did not, however, approve the study as it did not find that the study provided a cost effective solution. Rather, OSD and the Navy subsequently decided to update the analysis of alternatives using an acquisition strategy that might result in a more timely and affordable program using additional guidance provided by OSD in December 2011. That guidance reflects insights on requirements gained in the last year and expectations of using a streamlined acquisition approach proposed by the Navy. This has delayed the VXX programs entry into development. Navy officials expect that this new AOA will identify a solution that sets a foundation for achieving a solid initial business case with a rational balance between requirements, costs, and schedulean acquisition best practice and something that was missing from the terminated VH-71 program.
To achieve a balance of resources and requirements and provide a new presidential helicopter in a timely manner, DODs additional guidance reflects an incremental approach to achieving the full capabilities desired for the VXX. First, the Navy is going to extend the service life of the existing helicopters and at the same time upgrade their capabilities by developing and incorporating mature technologies. Second, it would define open systems architectures for the VXX aircraft to enable the insertion of those and other technologies in the future. Third, it would select an existing, available aircraft for the VXX program and then oversee the integration of the technologies matured and incorporated on the legacy helicopters into the VXX aircraft. Finally, in the future, new technologies would be developed and integrated onto the VXX aircraft as pre-planned, product improvements. While the programs new approach would establish a more knowledge-based acquisition in line with best practices, challenges will remain as technologies will still need to be successfully matured and then integrated into the VXX aircraft.
Why GAO Did This Study
In June 2009, the Department of Defense (DOD) terminated the Navys VH-71 presidential helicopter acquisition program because of cost growth, schedule delays, and a projected shortfall in system performance. The Navy subsequently began efforts to define a follow-on program (the VXX program) to develop aircraft to replace the current, aging presidential helicopter fleet. The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (the act) directed that we review and report annually to the congressional defense committees on the VXX program through 2013. We issued the first of the required reports last year. In that report, we identified major lessons learned from the terminated VH-71 program that should be applied to the follow-on program and discussed the VXX acquisition approach and the sufficiency of the underlying acquisition plans and related documentation. This is the second of the required GAO reports. It discusses (1) the progress of the program since our last report and (2) DODs planned upgrades to the fleet of in-service, legacy helicopters and approach for moving the VXX program forward.
To determine the progress of the VXX program since our last report and DODs planned approach for the future program, we examined available program documents and interviewed program officials. To assess the progress of the Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) effort that was underway when we last reported, we met with and were briefed by officials from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (OUSD(AT&L)); the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Air Programs; the Navys Program Manager, Presidential Helicopters Program Office; and the director of the Navys AOA effortsthe Military Director, Warfare Analysis and Integration Department, Naval Air Systems Command. To determine DODs planned future approach for the VXX program, we met with OUSD(AT&L) officials and obtained information from the Navys Presidential Helicopter program manager on plans for the VXX program and on plans to extend the life and capabilities of the existing presidential helicopters. In addition, we met with officials of the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation to discuss their work in sustaining the current presidential helicopter fleet until a replacement platform can be fielded.
We conducted this performance audit from March 2011 to February 2012 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives.

Voters in the Camp Verde Unified School District will be asked whether or not they support a 5 percent override for the district's budget on the November ballot.
Override elections are when a school district goes to the public for a certain percentage increase in their budget, a budget where without an override spending is constrained by state law. The extra money comes from an increase in property taxes.
Camp Verde voters have fairly regularly rejected tax increases in recent years when the question is put on the ballot.
With a few years of budget cuts from the state and federal levels having forced the district to tighten its belt and no end in sight at least for the upcoming fiscal budget year, the school board voted 3-1 to turn directly to the voters at a special meeting Thursday, June 21.
Board member Judy Gilbert voted against the measure, repeating opposition offered the previous week.
For the full story, see the Wednesday, June 27, edition of The Camp Verde Journal.

text: Put the Brakes on Teen Drugged Driving Get the facts on this dangerous trend and talk to your teen about safety behind the wheel Drugged driving, or driving under the influence of drugs, is a much bigger public health threat than most Americans realize and unfortunately, it is a growing trend. According to the first-ever analysis of drug involvement from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) census, one in three motor vehicle fatalities (33 percent) with known drug test results tested positive for drugs in 2009.[1] The new analysis also shows the involvement of drugs in fatal crashes has increased by five percent over the past five years, even as the overall number of drivers killed in motor vehicle crashes in the United States has declined.[2] As part of the National Drug Control Strategy, President Obama has made combating drugged driving a national priority and set a goal of reducing drugged driving prevalence by 10 percent by 2015. The National Impaired Driving Prevention initiative is an effort aimed at increasing awareness of the issue and encouraging states to explore policies and laws that can help reduce drugged driving. Community organizations can build on the momentum driven by December's National Impaired Driving Prevention Month and help raise awareness of the issue into the New Year. For facts, toolkits and more resources go to The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's "Drunk Driving: Over the Limit. Under Arrest" Campaign website at www.stopimpaireddriving.org/. Protect Your Teens on the Road Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to 20-year-olds.[3] And the use of drugs or alcohol increase teens' crash risks. In a comprehensive study on unsafe driving by high school students, 30 percent of seniors reported driving after drinking heavily or using drugs, or riding in a car whose driver had been drinking heavily or using drugs, at least once in the prior two weeks.[4] As teens take to the roads, you can take action by talking about the dangers of drugged and drunk driving. Parents are the most important influence on their teen when it comes to risky behaviors, including substance abuse and driving. Teens who report having conversations with their parents about alcohol and drug use are more likely to stay drug-free, compared to teens who do not talk about substance abuse with their parents.[5] The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign provides FREE online resources for community leaders and parents of teen drivers to help start the conversation about the dangers of driving under the influence. Please visit http://www.theantidrug.com/resources/impaired-driving.aspx to get more information on ways to prevent drugged driving in your community.

Consumers advised to check for contaminated bottled water
Clean water is odorless and should not have any chemical smell.
After Super Storm Sandy struck the Eastern Seaboard in October, gasoline shortages were reported in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and some residents used empty containers to transport gasoline. In the past three months, bottled water companies have detected and blocked from reuse an increased number of returned water bottles found to contain gasoline residue or fumes.
A small number of contaminated bottles are believed to have made it through the detection process and back into consumer use. The exposure levels involved are not likely to result in long-term health effects, said state health officials, who are working with the Food and Drug Administration and other New England states on the issue.
For more information, visit www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/fp/beverage/ or call 271-4589.

The owner of a bakery in Ferguson, Missouri, said she is in awe of the support she received after rioters on Monday smashed the windows and damaged some kitchen equipment in her small shop. Natalie DuBose, a 32-year-old mother of two, owns Natalie's Cake's & More which opened in early June after DuBose had finally saved enough to open the store. "It was an investment all around. I always had to work at least two jobs. I never just had just one job because my dream was always to have my own bakery," DuBose told NBC News Wednesday. A friend suggested she start an online campaign to raise repair funds for her bakery. By late Wednesday, the GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $200,000. Get More at NBC News
Getty Images There are highly varied witness accounts of the final moments of 18-year-old Michael Brown's life, with some saying that he was being combative and others saying officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot him, was being aggressive. In the wake of the shooting and others like it, some are calling on cops to wear cameras so the record can be set straight from the get-go. Cleveland Councilman Zack Reed says cameras would have helped in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice last week in his city. Reed says the devices would encourage police to act lawfully, while showing that the majority of officers are doing "their job properly every single day." Missouri Rep. Courtney Curtis agrees, and says witnesses would be more careful about their testimonies if they knew they could be verified or discredited by the cameras. Get More at NBC News
AP A suicide bomber attacked a British embassy vehicle in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Thursday, killing five people including a British national, a senior police official told NBC News.

AP Churches in Ferguson, Missouri, will hold prayer services and provide Thanksgiving lunch to residents, business owners and demonstrators. The churches hope the holiday will be a break for the protest-wracked town after a grand jury chose not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown. "We've been a disjointed or disconnected people," Pastor Willis Johnson, of Wellspring Church, said Wednesday. "Here's an opportunity to show what we can and ought to be." Wellspring and other churches are expecting two or three times more people than usual on the holiday. Get More at NBC News

NBC News Cleveland police have released surveillance video that shows a 12-year-old boy walking around and waving a pellet gun and then being fatally shot by a rookie officer seconds after he arrived on the scene, NBC News reported. The black-and-white video is grainy, and Tamir Rice's movements are hard to decipher at times, but he can been seen pacing on the sidewalk, the silhouette of his Airsoft pistol plainly visible. A 911 caller, who was sitting in a nearby gazebo, told police several times that the weapon was probably a fake, but the dispatcher did not relay that information to the responding officers, referring to it only as "a gun," police tapes show. An official said that the officer who shot Rice yelled at the boy three times to show his hands before he fired. A grand jury will decide whether Officers Timothy Loehman, 26, and Frank Garmback, 46, will be charged over Rice's death. Get More at NBC News

The Plurabelle Paddlers is a dragon boat team based in the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, Ireland. The team members have one thing in common, they have been diagnosed with breast cancer . We have set up a dragon boat team (think Hawaii Five-0) to:
- get fit
- enjoy the mutual support of team mates
- raise awareness of breast cancer.
We were all new to the sport and are inspired by the 150 or so breast cancer dragon boat teams worldwide. Why dragon boats? >>
We are the first dragon boat team in Ireland. The team was set up by Fiona Tiernan, in order to keep fit after a recurrence of breast cancer. From a membership of 2 and no boat in 2010, we now have 60+ active members, a wonderful coach Julie Doyle and 2 dragon boats.
We train on the water twice a week from March to November and have members aged from early 30′s to 70+.
The other thing we all have in common is that we were all new to the sport of dragon boat racing.
CLICK on our video to see what it's about!
The Plurabelle Paddlers won the BCS category in this years Dublin Dragon Boat Regatta held 13th-14th September 2014. Other winners were A-Team from Dubai (International 200m and 400m), Castleknock College (U18′s), Kendra and Suir Tings (Novoice 200m challenge) Saturday and Sunday respectively.
We share with you the very sad news that Fiona Tiernan died on Wednesday 6th August 2014. Fiona was the energy force behind the Plurabelles and an inspiration to all the current and future breast cancer dragon boat clubs in Ireland. She was one of the first people in Ireland to advocate for exercise as a therapy for those who have been diagnosed with cancer. Her legacy lives on.
The next training session of Team Ireland takes place Saturday 10th May 2014 in Clonmel. For more information email us on email@example.com or check out our video.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
An intriguing side project that joins the laconic talents of Low's Alan Sparhawk and Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek, the Retribution Gospel Choir would seem to gravitate toward the grayer tones of the color spectrum. Then again, the band only recently formed and hasn't released a single song together. Still, it's got to be a droney, slowcore kind of thing, right? Nostalgia moving at the speed of a glacier, desperation with a side of confusion? A curious excerpt from the group's press release says that it "ups the sonic ante with Steve Vai via Ralph Macchio-influenced guitar solos" and tells listeners to expect covers of artists ranging from Neil Young to Pere Ubu to A Flock of Seagulls -- along with interpretations from each of their catalogs. That's all fine and dandy, but which one is the Karate Kid? Sparhawk is a recovering Mormon who probably got picked on a lot growing up in Duluth, although Kozelek does have that fascination with dead boxers like Salvador Sanchez and Duk Koo Kim. Where's Pat Morita when you need him?

Project may take over some state health exchange functions
Although the Health and Human Services Department's new "NHIN Direct" project might kill a possible revenue stream for some state health information exchanges, those exchanges should be able to make up the revenue in other ways, an HHS official said today.
HHS launched the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) Direct project in March to develop technical specifications for point-to-point secure exchange of patient health data over the Internet. The goal is to allow for doctors and hospitals to directly exchange data electronically on a one-to-one basis with each other or with a lab or a pharmacy.
For some state exchanges that had intended to provide secure point-to-point health data exchange over the Internet to generate revenue, NHIN Direct presents a problem because it will enable that service at a national level, Dr. Doug Fridsma of the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology said today in an interview. Fridsma is the acting director of the national coordinator's Office of Interoperability and Standards.
However, the state exchanges should realize there are many other services they can provide to make up the lost revenue, Fridsma said.
"NHIN Direct solves one piece of the puzzle," Fridsma said. "There is a host of other things they [state exchanges] can provide for which physicians may be willing to pay."
For example, the state exchanges could generate revenue by aggregating public health data and quality reporting data, by enabling multiparty exchanges and by establishing and providing authoritative directories, Fridsma suggested.
Although some states may have relied on providing point-to-point exchange for revenue in their business plan, that might have been unrealistic because commercial providers are offering similar services, he added.
"A lot of the states have been concerned about [NHIN Direct] removing a revenue stream, but that risk existed before NHIN Direct," Fridsma said.
The draft specifications for NHIN Direct will be released in several weeks, Fridsma said, and this summer organizations will develop software code to facilitate the exchanges. NHIN Direct is an open development project with a public wiki detailing steps in its development.
The project was an outgrowth of an HHS Health IT Policy advisory group's recommendation to set up specifications to help doctors and hospitals meet the criteria to qualify for $17 billion in "meaningful use" incentive payments for health IT under the economic stimulus law. Under HHS regulations, the providers must demonstrate a capability to securely exchange health data electronically to show meaningful use in 2011. NHIN Direct is intended to help them develop that capability quickly, Fridsma said.
NHIN Direct, once completed, will be a component of the NHIN, an HHS system of specifications that allows trusted parties to engage in data exchange and in searches of patient health data over the Internet.
HHS is working with vendors of electronic health records and personal health records (PHRs), as well as with state and federal agencies, on the NHIN Direct specifications, Fridsma said.
"The PHRs are an important part of the health exchange ecosystem," Fridsma said. "They may need to exchange data directly."

The NHIN Direct Abstract Model (see http://nhindirect.org/ ) defines what is called the "Health Internet Service Provider" as a key facilitator of health information exchange. State HIEs should look at the role this HISP is proposed to play in the system, and see opportunities for which they could be well suited. By participating in the NHIN Direct process, state HIEs can help shape that HISP role.

My bank told me to tent the house I want to buy right at 3 days before the original closing day, now I've tented the house, they want me to fix the damage before a closing day will be set up.
can anybody give me a good advice on how to push my bank to the closing? or is there anyway I can have them cut down the closing cost because of this? I don't have a realtor.
thanx a lot!!

- how to push my lender to closing?!
I see what they want. I am assuming they are considering the damage significant enough to cause structural damage or to affect the value of the home. Unfortunately there isnt much you can do in this process, The bank is simply protecting their investment, after all if the house falls apart and you default on your mortgage they dont want to have to sell sawdust and shingles, they want a structurally sound home. I would get an estimate on what it costs to fix this situation and if the damage is too great back out of the deal. I am assuming on your purchase agreement you were allotted time to have the house inspected and time to give notice to the seller if things were not alright with the inspection. If you are within your time frame you can back out safely. let me know if you need anything further I am a realtor and I will help you as best I can. you can email me direct if you need right away at [email protected]
The damage is actually pretty minor.
The thing that really upsets me is the bank seems didn't know what they suppose to do until the last minute. And I'm the last one who gets informed.
But thanx for the reply. I guess I'll just hanging there.
you may have gotten a new rep, believe it or not it is really easy to get into this industry and you get alot of inexperienced people... also would this happen to be standard fed bank? and if the damage is minor they should have a verification from a contractor that all is well and show them that you will do the follow up treatments as well. If that is done then there should be no reason that you shouldnt close on your loan in the near future. regulations for termite damage vary from state to state as well so they may be more strict where you are from. I am in Michigan where are you located?

Dr. Justin Sebastian's Ratings
Dr. Sebastian is the best doctor that I have ever met, my Interstitial Lung Disease and Auto Ammune disease went undiagnosed for 3 yrs. I met Dr Sebastian and he ran numerous tests to find out the problem in 1 month, he is very thorough and I would be willing to wait for hours to see him over other doctors. Glad that we have great doctors like him.

Dr. Sebastian is a great Dr. I have seen him 2 now and his staff was very pleasant and helpful when I entered and also when I needed to book appointments. I had to wait about 20 min past my appointment time but he is worth the wait. He is knowledgable and is also willing to consult with colleagues to ensure he is giving you the best care possible. He is very personable and provides top notch care. Highly recommended!

This year's theme was 'St Patrick to the future' and the carnival re-imagined the patron saint as a time-travelling adventurer on a colourful journey to the future of Belfast on Sunday.
Leading the celebrations was the Patron Saint of Ireland and the Lord Mayor Councillor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir.
Featuring a number of eye-catching floats, the parade included a 'Back to The Future' flying DeLorean and a Doctor Who Tardis.
Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward performed a free concert at Custom House Square on Sunday afternoon as part of the city's fun-filled festivities.
A brand new Belfast song was premiered by a gigantic Beat Carnival Street Choir along with performances from Emerald Armada, Sontas, the Tir na nÓg Irish Dancers and the South Asian Dance Academy.
Mr Ó Muilleoir said: "This is certainly a fun, fantastic treat for all the family - from near and far, to Belfast today.
"We took the future as a theme because it is important that we concentrate on that and how life can be better for all of us. Belfast has really gotten into its stride being seen across the world as a forward thinking, attractive city with many advantages - particularly its young population.
'We have shown the world that we can put on a show and celebrate with the best of them," the Sinn Féin councillor added.
He said it was a day of unity.
Explaining why the parade was held a day early, he said: "What we wanted to do was, because St Patrick's Day isn't a public holiday, let's have an event everyone can attend.
"All the schools are closed today, there are no places of work really open and I think it's paid off for us."
He added: "It's the biggest turnout I've seen in some years on St Patrick's Day, great colour, lots of green, and what really thrills me is that 700 young people, from right across the city, the Shankill and the Falls, are leading the carnival parade."
Meanwhile, around the world famous landmarks have been lit up in green ahead of St Patrick's Day.
Lights were installed on the Great Wall of China, the Rhine Falls - Europe's largest waterfall, and at Whistler, the famous Canadian ski resort, to name but a few.
More than 100 buildings and sites around the world are taking part in Tourism Ireland's Global Greening 2014, to celebrate the island of Ireland and St Patrick.
Brendan Howlin, minister for public expenditure in the Republic of Ireland, said "global greening" was going from strength to strength as he visited Beijing.
He said: "I am truly honoured to be here to count down to the first greening of the iconic Great Wall of China, or as we Irish call it today, the Green Wall of China."

LI residents upset over neighborhood eyesores
Properties wind up abandoned for a variety of reasons — foreclosure, death of the owner, divorce are among them. And sometimes owners who have moved away just want to hold on to a property here. The presence of such unmaintained houses is growing as the foreclosure crisis continues, said Christopher Niedt, academic director of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University. And that translates into more and more neighborhoods across Long Island, and the nation, left with an eyesore in their midst — and residents wondering why more of them can't be restored or razed or even condemned by the municipality.

NOVEMBER 2014 - Veterans Day
by Major Robert "Bob" Edelbrock, Ed.D., (USMC, Retired)
Each year on November 11 we celebrate Veterans Day as a way to honor and show our respect for those brave men and women who have risked their lives in the service of our country. America was founded on the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice for all. Our nation's military serve every day in order to protect and preserve our country and its ideals. On this day, we take a moment to remember those who stand tall and show their willingness to sacrifice their lives in order to preserve peace and democracy.
National ceremonies are held every year at the memorial amphitheater built around the Tomb of the Unknowns to observe and memorialize Veterans Day. At exactly 11 am on November 11, a color guard representing all military services executes "Present Arms" at the tomb. The presidential wreath is then laid upon the tomb and at the conclusion, the bugler plays taps.
Veterans Day was formerly known as Armistice Day and was meant to commemorate the war to end all wars, also known as the Great War or World War I. It was in 1918 on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that the guns fell silent on both sides. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Armistice Day as the day America would honor those who died in the country's service.
On May 13, 1938, an act of congress made the eleventh day of November a legal holiday. A day dedicated to the cause of world peace and thereafter to be celebrated as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day honored veterans of World War I, but in 1954 Congress replaced the word "Armistice" with the word "Veterans." The approval of this legislation occurred on June 1, 1954, and November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
It was later in the same year, on October 8, that President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the "Veterans Day Proclamation" and stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose."
In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays. Veterans Day was then moved to the fourth Monday of October. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed on October 25, 1971. On September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97, which returned its original date of November 11, beginning in in 1978.
Some people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day since they are both federal holidays honoring service personnel. Veterans Day pays tribute to both war and peacetime veterans while Memorial Day honors those who died while serving our country.
Traditions vary across the country as to how people choose to observe and celebrate Veterans Day. Many cities have a ceremony while others have a parade. Families often visit local and national cemeteries, and some have family reunions and picnics. Still others serve as volunteers to place small flags on the graves of the fallen in our national cemeteries.
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls. It is a day when our nation honors America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

AMSTERDAM--A Dutch court on Tuesday blocked the extradition of a Dutch-Pakistani terrorism suspect to the U.S., saying it remains unclear whether U.S. authorities had any role in the alleged torture of the man while he was detained in Pakistan.
The suspect is accused of working with al-Qaida between 2004 and 2010 and planning an attack against a U.S. army base in Afghanistan. After being arrested in neigboring Pakistan in 2010 by the local secret service, he was brought to the Netherlands for extradition to the U.S.
The 26-year-old man, who was identified as Sabir K. and holds both Dutch and Pakistani citizenship, appealed the extraditon on grounds that the U.S. had been involved in torturing him when he was detained by the Pakistani secret service. He also claimed he wouldn't be able to receive the right treatment in the U.S. for his post-traumatic stress syndrome.
The Court of Appeals in The Hague ruled that it would be unlawful to extradite him.
"The Dutch state has not complied with its obligations to investigate the matter," it said in the ruling. "Given the uncertainty that persists regarding U.S. involvement in the torture of Sabir K., the (Dutch) state would act unlawfully by extraditing him."
André Seebregts, Sabir's lawyer, said the ruling is very good. "It seems that, to the Americans, the war on terror is more important than human rights. Sabir keeps getting called a terrorist suspect but that's stretching the word," said Mr. Seebregts.
The Dutch state can appeal the ruling in the Netherlands' Supreme Court and is currently considering whether it will do so, a spokeswoman for the ministry of justice said.

Im having a hard time choosing between
Ghost, Flash, Cleanse and Exhaust. Suggestions?
Depends on your goals for that game.
Ghost + Cleanse/Teleport = massive split pushing abilities.
Flash + Exhaust = Burst chasing
Ghost + Exhaust = sustained chasing.
all are decent choices as Yi it depends on what you find you need more
ghost: pop during ult and no one can outrun you even behind minions
flash: good escape tool, or gap closer if you don't wanna use ult
cleanse: just that "cleanse" out of CC i you think you're gonna need to get out of alot and don't want to invest in quicksilversash
exhaust:good for early game kills, end game usually don't need it too much tho can be an ok "semi" disable on other AD champs
OMG Laserguns
My personal favourite is Ghost + Exhaust. Ghost gives you that little bit extra chasing ability, but more importantly it helps you to escape from bad situations if Highlander is on cooldown.
Exhaust is needed because Yi doesn't have any kind of slow until/unless you get Phage/Frozen Mallet, so you need to be able to slow the enemy down so you can apply your DPS.
Flash can be substituted for Ghost, but IMO Exhaust is mandatory on Yi, unless you rush Frozen Mallet.
Cleanse and Ghost.
Laning AP: Ghost/Flash + Ignite
- Can transition to AD if necessary, build tear to manamune, then go trinity/YG
Jungle: Ghost/Flash + Smite
I never bother with cleanse... Just enter fights later on. If the other team has more than 2 hard ccs (stuns,taunts, fears) then you can rush a BV.
Cleanse + Smite
The only way to do it, jungle quickly, farm up like mad, gank, murder everything
Yi's biggest weakness is CC, cleanse removes CC, thus making him useful against mass CC teams
No escape you say? He has his ult and heal as well as alpha strike, you can use those to survive and escape
Smite/Ghost or Smite/Cleanse.
Junior Member
I'm more of a top lane type guy what spells should i use ?
