Prescription drugs stolen after burglary in Ulverston
Published at 22:47, Friday, 08 February 2013
POLICE are appealing for information after prescription medication was stolen from a house in Ulverston.
The incident occurred at a property in Oakwood Drive, on Tuesday February 5.
Between 4-7pm an unknown intruder entered the house through an unsecured ground floor window, while the owner was out.
After a search of the house quantities of Diazepam, Nitrazepam and Cyclazocine, all in tablet form, were taken.
Police say anyone who may find any medication should turn it into to their local police station.
Anyone with any information on the incident should call Barrow CID on 101.

Have your say
It seems that every time you report this type of crime, you always spell at least one of the drugs incorrectly. For accuracy of reporting surely you check such things....try using google or ask your local pharmacist before printing.

the headboard is very tall and it has a very elegant look. it is a very strong, tightly woven rattan. the color is exactly like the picture. it is very simple to put together. the bed does not squeak. the bed is a very sturdy heavy bed and it does require a box spring. i am more than pleased with my new bed.
On the computer the color looks more like a brownish red. When I received the bed the color is more of a black color. This was a problem for me because it doesn't really match my furniture. It also states that you need a box sping however with the box sping the bed is too high and my king size comforter does not cover the box spring so now it's visible. Not usually disappointed with Overstock but this time I am. The color should not say tan. Unfortunately too much trouble to disassemble and ship back.
Wonderful bed, it looks very high end. This was my first purchase with Overstock and I was very pleased.
Love this bed! It looks great and you don't need a bedskirt :)

Over the past several months, I have followed many online discussions where Stereo 3D enthusiasts claim that it is time for all TV programs and Films to be made in 3D and how today's 3D technologies can make this vision a reality. I've read some suggesting that Stereo 3D, while it might work with some specialized shows, it won't work for talk shows, cooking or home improvements… others claim that the cost will continue to be prohibitive.
What I missed reading was any scientific details of why it should, will, or it should not and will not work. This compelled me to write, and share with my readers, important findings in hopes of shedding better light on the future use of Stereo 3D technologies.
First I would like to discuss the scientific differences between 2D and Stereo 3D visualization. Mission3-D's extensive research has come to realize that a human brain functions with pre-determined programming, programming that is harmonious with the need for survival. Speech and language is stored in one section of the brain, images in another, and there seems to be a special, wider, more complex place for storing an "Experience".
Studies conducted by Mission3-D on the effects of depth perception in humans have been quite telling. It turns out that human depth perception is an intricate part of defining an "Experience". While our brains can store words, stories and "2D' images for re-collection, such "data" tends to be rationally and consciously manipulated by the brain with a potentially different outcome based on the rational of any given situation. Stored data does not seem to subconsciously affect behavior, stored experiences do.
Most learning retention studies suggest a 7 to 8 fold learning retention when a person experiences something vs. reading about it. In fact, studies conducted by CongitinveArts of Chicago Illinois, have found that on average, attending a live lecture only results in a 5% learning retention, while reading the same materials allows for twice as much learning retention (10%), viewing a multimedia version story-style version of the same materials results in a 25% learning retention, with learning retention reaching 75% when the person experiences things first hand. Depth perception is the primary differentiating facture attributed to an experience.
Subsequently, in memory retention research on 2D vs. Stereo 3D imageries, Mission3-D concluded the same results: Stereo 3D images are up to 8 times more memorable than their 2D counterparts, with the memory retention factor increasing with increased depth perception and decreasing with decreased depth perception. We also noted an increased attentive and awareness state with those who perceive depth vs. those who do not.
Basically our human binocular vision acts as radar of sorts with the need to store a depth-induced experience every time we live a new experience. Subsequently, we tried to test the effects of depth perception on written text to see if such depth perception can aid in memorizing text, our findings showed quite the opposite. The human brain became confused with Stereo 3D text; with 2D text the brain expected to store data but with 3D, the brain was being told to store a visual experience. The result was that the brain became unable to concentrate on each word and was distracted as it was trying to understand what this new experience means.
Psychologically we react differently to 2D from Stereo 3D. A 2D visual is calming and does not force a high-attentive state or increased awareness, it is passive. With no depth perception, our brain is told not to store an experience, just store "data" when seen, heard or said repeatedly, such as the story or the net result of what was heard and seen, all stored for future rational manipulation.
Most humans seize to perceive depth beyond 50 meters, seeing 2D, a stage at which we no longer seems to store an experience. This means that 3D perception is not necessary for all things in our life, 2D has an important role to play. It turns out that we need 2D viewing as much as we need Stereo 3D. There will be times when we want to relax and put our minds at ease, and there will be times when we need to be attentive and "learn", knowing that what we actually "learn" can have major repercussions on our lives.
Note how we are willing to pay more for an apartment situated on a wide street than for on a narrow one, the real scientific reason is that when we open the curtains and look out the windows we feel more relaxed and at ease because objects are seen far away minimizing the need for a heightened state of awareness. Normally, we go home to relax. The same can be said about wanting to take a relaxing vacation, often associated with going to a beach resort where you can have ample time looking far into the horizon and minimize depth perception.
I do not foresee ever TV and Cinema being broadcasted in Stereo 3D all the time, if they did, then I can envision how viewers might begin to suffer from too much brain activity, "experience" overload, overwhelming heightened state of awareness, and might start turning away from the TV just to relax a bit; although less hours watching TV is a good thing for all humans, that's not what the broadcasters want. Watching a Stereo 3D film or show drains much more energy than watching it in 2D, the depth-induced alarm system commands you to be in a high-attentive state and keeps your brain on high-drive, which can be very tiring.
Depth perception, when used wisely, can open minds, bring the world together, reduce unnecessary, unwanted fears, and increase knowledge and learning retention, but if ill-used, it could reduce beneficial fears, and might result in potential psychological disorders and awkward behaviors.
In a TV talk show, the first few minutes of the first time you watch the talk show results in a depth perception experience that will render the show hosts and their guests more memorable, but unless the settings are constantly changed, the effectiveness of depth perception is minimized as time goes on because our brains have already stored the required visual experience and we start to tune in by listening, and while a slight state of added awareness remains, the 3D experience becomes minimal when compared to 2D.
A show on home improvement, if filmed properly, would actually work quite well in Stereo 3D, as depth perception will act to increase the state of awareness of the viewers and help them store an important experience every time, a strong positive as home improvement shows are intended to teach viewers how to do things. Viewers are likely to walk away with 3 times the learning retention vs. if they were to watch the show in 2D.
Stereo 3D has been used successfully to scare the wits out of people in horror movies, and although such movies retain a high entertainment value as you watch what looks like a horrifying "reality" that in "reality" is not supposed to affect you. This use, I believe, begins to cloud reality and non-reality and can potentially damage our in-born built-in system of protection, subconsciously retain such unwanted experiences, and ultimately result in un-welcomed human behaviors and potentially negatively affecting mental health. Although, I am not much a fan of horror films, with what I know about the effects of Stereo 3D, I'd rather see a 2 hour horror movie entertainment in 2D, walk away and forget all about it, than store a horror learning experience that could potentially stay with me for the rest of my life.
As it is, researchers have already found a correlation between aggressive human behavior and exposure to strong scenes of action 2D films, so can you imagine what could happen if such scenes are viewed in Stereo 3D, and become embedded as learned human experiences? It could be devastating! Many of us could soon be like the Vietnam Vets who needed mental health treatment with many never recovering. What is even more dangerous is to begin to learn that such realistic gruesome scenery will not harm us. It is one thing to see a 2D scene then forget about it, and totally another to live through it and keep it forever.
It is obvious that not all people will go waco with irresponsible 3D use, however there is strong evidence that suggests many more people are likely to, with 3D vs. 2D. Not everyone that plays a shoot-it-all-out video game will go and commit a massacre at school, but we have to admit those numbers are growing.
People reach their strongest psychological fortification point at about age 40, with some learning from negative experiences and work hard to avoid having them, while others subconsciously begin to mimic them.
What I am suggesting is that from all that we know about how some 2D films or games can negatively affect some of the weaklings in our society, 3D is likely to affect many times more. So I felt the responsibility to put out those warnings. My fears are, that once people begin to reap the financial benefits from the ill-use of 3D, no one will be able to stop them.
I am all for the use of Stereo 3D for tourism, training and education, advertising, sports entertainment, history, performing micro medical procedures, and all positive reinforcing experiences. If done right, Stereo 3D technologies can revolutionize learning and do wonders for humanity. But if ill-used it could also serve to further cause destruction and degrade humanity.
Stereo 3D is perhaps one of the most misunderstood mediums, it is not a gimmick as most think of it, it is a very highly effective medium, and just like any medium, it can be used responsibly for the better good or it can be used for evil purposes. Unfortunately, I suspect it will be used for both, like everything else.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The "knockout game" is one of many names given by American news media to assaults in which one or more assailants attempt to knock out an unsuspecting victim, often with a single sucker punch, all for the amusement of the attacker(s) and their accomplice(s).[1] Other names given to assaults of this type include "knockout", "knockout king", "point 'em out, knock 'em out", "bomb",[2][3] and "polar-bearing" or "polar-bear hunting" (allegedly called such when the victim is white).[4][5][6] Serious injuries and even deaths have been attributed to the "knockout game". Some news sources report that there has been an escalation of such attacks in late 2013, and in some cases the attacker has been charged with a hate crime, while some politicians have been seeking new targeted legislation specifically against it.[4][7][8] However, other media analysts have cast doubt on the reportedly widespread nature of the game and have labeled the trend, although not the attacks themselves, a myth.[9][10][11][12] Liberal analysts claim that their conservative counterparts falsely promote a view that the "knockout game" trend is real[13][14] and conservative analysts claim that the liberal media does not report on it due to the racial implications it may have.[15][16][17]
In September 1992, Norwegian exchange student Yngve Raustein was killed by three teenagers who, according to Cambridge, Massachusetts, prosecutors, were playing a game called "knockout". Local teens said that the object was to render an unsuspecting target unconscious with a single punch, and if the assailant did not succeed, his companions turned on him instead.[18]
In 2005 in the United Kingdom, BBC News reported on the happy slapping incidents, where the attack is filmed for the purpose of sharing online.[19] The French government responded to this trend by making it against the law to film any acts of violence and post them on the Internet, with a spokesperson for then President Nicolas Sarkozy saying the law was indeed directed at "happy slapping".[20]
Three teens were arrested in Decatur, Illinois, in September 2009, and charged in the killing of a bicyclist, 61, who was stomped to death, and the attempted murder of another man, 46, who was also attacked and stomped. It was claimed that the teens were playing "point 'em out, knock 'em out", where a person is selected and a group of attackers attempt to render the victim unconscious.[21][22]
In June 2009, a 29-year-old man was beaten in a Columbia, Missouri, parking garage by a group of teens who told police that they were playing a game called "knockout king", where they would find an unsuspecting person and attempt to knock them out with a single punch.[23]
In April 2011, Hoang Nguyen, 72, died in St. Louis, Missouri, after he was attacked in what was described by a local CBS station as "part of the so-called 'knockout game'." Nguyen's wife, Yen, 62, was injured. After the trial the assailant, Elex Murphy, 18 at the time of the assault, was sentenced to life in prison plus 25 years.[23][24][25][26]
In July 2012, 62-year-old Delfino Mora was attacked by three teens and killed in West Rogers Park, Chicago. Anthony Malcolm, who recorded the attack on his cell phone, the video of which was posted to Facebook, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Two other teens were awaiting trial in September 2013. The attack was said to be part of a game called "pick 'em out, knock 'em out."[22][27]
In 2013, a series of these attacks resulted in the death of the victims, all with some sort of game as a precipitating factor. Michael Daniels, 51, of Syracuse, New York, died a day after being attacked in May 2013, with the "knockout game" later mentioned in regards to his death.[28][29]
In Greater Manchester, Eden Lomax, 17, killed 43-year-old Simon Mitchell in an attack he referred to as a "bomb"; in the investigation it was discovered Lomax had performed other non-fatal "bomb" attacks in the days leading up to Mitchell's death.[2][3]
Ralph Santiago, a disabled homeless resident of Hoboken, New Jersey, was found dead after being attacked by three black boys aged 13 to 14 whose assault was linked to the "knockout" game.[30][31]
Yale Daily News reported seven attacks during November 2013 in New Haven, Connecticut that could be associated with the knockout game. Yale University's chief of police wrote an email to the campus community pertaining to the issue on November 21.[32]
In the United States, The New York Times noted "a growing log of reports of such crimes in the Northeast and beyond".[11] A number of news stories in late November 2013 covered incidents in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where a series of attacks took place during October and November of that year.[7][8][33][34][35] As a result the NYPD responded by stepping up patrols in certain neighborhoods.[36]
On November 24, 2013, in Katy, Texas, an elderly African-American man was attacked and hospitalized. Two weeks later, Conrad Alvin Barrett was arrested after allegedly showing an off-duty police officer a video he recorded with his cell phone of himself perpetrating the attack, explicitly referencing "knockout". Investigators revealed that there were other videos on his phone where he used racial epithets and another in which he wondered if he would receive media attention if he were to commit a "knockout game" attack on a black man. This was one of the first cases where a black man was "knocked out." The subject plays mostly on blacks knocking out the whites. The Justice Department subsequently charged Barrett with a hate crime, for which he could receive 10 years in federal prison. Barrett's attorney claims his client suffers from bipolar disorder and was not on medication at the time of the attack.[37][38][39][40][41][42]
In the coverage of the attacks in 2013, some political commentators have focused on racial factors, alleging that the crimes are being committed primarily by African-American youth and criticizing the media for ignoring the alleged racial nature of these attacks.[15] Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel described the "knockout" attacks as "another example of young black Americans committing senseless crimes" and expressed disappointment that "they are getting precious little attention" in the media.[16] In response to several reported attacks in 2013, Al Sharpton released a piece called Knockout Games -- The Biggest Form of Cowardice[43] condemned the attacks, as he noted the black community would not be silent if they were the victims.[44]
Jeffrey Butts, the director of John Jay College of Criminal Justice's Research and Evaluation Center at the City University of New York (CUNY), was quoted by the New York Times that "There's an element to who wants to see this through the lens of race" and that the fear stems from racial roots.[11] Emma Roller for Slate and Jamelle Bouie for The Daily Beast also remarked on the reported race of the attackers and victims;[9][12] with others critical of the existence of the trend also pointing out that the aspect of race appears to be hyped by bloggers who want to highlight attacks on whites by blacks.[45]
Several attacks on Jewish victims in Brooklyn in 2013 have been called antisemitic hate crimes.[4][5][6][46] ABC Nightline reported that New York City police believed that antisemitism was likely to be a motive in the attacks, as all eight victims were identified as Jewish.[47] Jewish community leaders in Brooklyn have spoken out on the subject,[34][48] and the Anti Defamation League regional office issued a public statement on Knockout attacks "targeting Jewish individuals in Brooklyn".[49] Amrit Marajh, a 28-year-old suspect in an attack that took place in Brooklyn, was charged with a hate crime as his victim was Jewish, which has potential to greatly increase consequences over a charge of simple assault.[4][8][50] Marajh has claimed innocence and denied the claims of antisemitism.[51]
On December 3, newly elected Democratic New York City councilwoman Laurie Cumbo added a letter to her Facebook page saying: "The accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success." The Anti-Defamation League said her post was "troubling" and that it evoked "classic anti-Semitic stereotypes."[52] Cumbo later apologised for her remarks.[53][54] NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly later stated that he was avoiding referring to the attacks as part of any sort of trend to avoid further copycat attacks and has instead been labeling them as hate crimes.[45]
On November 21, 2013[55] Republican New York State assemblyman Jim Tedisco put forward legislation called the "Knockout Assault Deterrent Act"[56] explicitly referencing "knockout" in order to charge juvenile offenders in these type of attacks as adults, legislation would also punish those who were found recording the attacks.[55][57] Republican State Senator Hugh Farley supports legislation that would make assailants linked to the "knockout game" liable for harsher sentences, would try juvenile offenders as adults, and would make accomplices criminally responsible.[57][58] Democratic assemblyman John McDonald, while admitting he feels stiffer penalties were warranted, said, however, that Tedisco's bill was not necessary.[58] Republican Wisconsin State Assemblyman Dean Kaufert also considered drafting a bill to deter attacks.[59]
After incidents during late 2013 in Brooklyn in which Jews were victims of knockout attacks, Jewish leaders, councilmen, and organization representatives spoke against the attacks.[34][60][61]
Leaders from the African-American community also made statements, City Councilman Charles Barron saying that the root of the problem was a need for jobs to keep young people out of trouble; he also suggested additional funding for community patrols to act as lookouts.[62] Representative Hakeem Jeffries said at a Crown Heights Youth Collective conference that attacks based on race will not be tolerated and that they will do everything in their power to see justice is done.[60] Brooklyn District Attorney-elect Kenneth P. Thompson also called out the attacks, saying that "there is no status to be gained" for knocking out an unsuspecting victim and such violence will not be tolerated.[60] Brooklyn Borough President-elect Eric Adams affirmed Thompson's statement, saying "play this game, and you will lose". Councilmember-elect Laurie Cumbo added that people's lives will never be the same as a result, victims and suspects both, as she stated that attackers would be "prosecuted to the full extent of the law".[60]
Other notable New York City community members who have spoken out against the attacks include Reverend Al Sharpton[44] and Dov Hikind.[63] Al Sharpton, Russell Simmons, Foundation for Ethnic Understanding founder Rabbi Marc Schneier, former NYC mayor David Dinkins and former New Orleans mayor and current National Urban League president Marc Morial released a video in December 2013 saying "No to K.O."[64] Retired Brooklyn-born boxer Mike Tyson has also spoken against the attacks on The Piers Morgan Show.[65]
The existence of a growing trend of knockout attacks has been questioned; claims about the prevalence of the phenomenon have been called an "urban myth" and a "type of panic."[11] Some media reports have specified that knockout attacks are "played" as a violent game. However, the "game" aspect is of questionable status; claims concerning attacks range from urban myths, random unprovoked acts of aggression to an actual "game".
A June 2011 investigative report by John Tucker of the Riverfront Times following the death of Hoang Nguyen in 2011 saw many related attacks, all attributed to the "Knockout King" game. St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Daniel Isom stated that a year prior the police determined that the knockout game is played by a group of children who go around trying to knock random people unconscious, the police estimated the activity was not widespread and limited to five or nine teens. In Tucker's interviews with local teens they believed the number to be much higher; one 18-year old estimated 10-15% of his peers played the game. A St. Louis area barber said that in his youth the phenomenon was not called "Knockout King" but "One Hitter Quitter". Mike Males of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice who also runs YouthFacts.org noted that the media has been cherry-picking related attacks for sensationalism concluding, "This knockout-game legend is a fake trend." Police at the time, believed such attacks might have been underreported by immigrant victims from countries where the police were not trustworthy.[66]
An attack from 2012 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was tentatively linked to more recent attacks, although it was never identified as part of any "game".[57] Police in Syracuse, New York, reported that one assailant in a fatal attack admitted to its being "knockout", with a police sergeant noting that the assaults he was investigating were definitely "for a game" rather than being attempted murders or robberies.[11] On November 23, 2013, The New York Times reported that police officials in New York City were considering their position on the "game" and were wondering if they should advise the public, but had to contend with the uncertain existence of the game.[11] Police in New York City questioned whether they were faced with a trend or simply a series of isolated incidents.[57] New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly refused to refer to the attacks in Brooklyn as the "knockout game" to avoid possible copycat attacks.[45]
Several assaults associated with the "knockout game" do not follow any particular pattern; in several instances a single assailant attempted a one-punch attack, while in others multiple assailants participated in a gang attack. The "Knockout King" death of Nguyen in St. Louis was such a gang attack, and an alleged trend in Lansing, Michigan, called "point 'em out, knock 'em out" involved the use of a Taser.[45]
Many officials have outright refused to refer to the assaults as a "game", with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter explicitly stating he did not want to give the idea any credibility while at a press conference after an attack at a Philadelphia pizzeria where the suspects never mentioned the game following the event.[45] In a CNN interview with Don Lemon, Nutter stated he was not sure if the knockout game is real or not, adding he less concerned about the name but saying the incidents are of "great concern" and worries about a trend of copycat incidents. Nutter would not answer if the attacks are racially motivated and stated that Philadelphia has no confirmed "game" incidents.[67] Earlier, Philadelphia Police spokeswoman Tanya Little determined a November 11 attack as part of a knockout game.[68]
Emma Roller of Slate compared the reporting of the "knockout game" to the reporting of attacks at the 2011 Wisconsin State Fair by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that stated "dozens to hundreds of black youths attacked white people"; she called into question the inconsistency with the numbers and felt that the race of the attackers was likely misreported as well. Roller also stated that conservative media outlets seem to report on such attacks annually, with an assault in Virginia in 2012 receiving similar treatment[69] to the Milwaukee attacks and the current "knockout game". While she notes that the "game" exists, and has for several years, she states it has not reached the "epidemic levels" media outlets have said it has. She also cited Alan Noble of Patheos and his criticism of using YouTube videos as evidence for the game.[70] Both were critical of White Girl Bleed a Lot author Colin Flaherty and his reporting of what he saw as a trend, which both saw as Flaherty simply finding any instance of an attack where the victim was white and the suspect was black, yet failed to provide any instance of the attacker being white and victim being black[9]
Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast was also critical of the game's existence as a trend, comparing its existence to the "wilding" assault allegedly at hand in the Central Park jogger case and the often reported headlight flashing urban legend. While he did not deny that several people were attacked and several had died, he pointed out that attacks were not really rare, noting the FBI had reported that there were 127,577 unarmed assaults in 2012. Picking out a handful from that does not make it a trend, nor does a bunch of kids saying they were playing the "knockout game". Bouie was also critical of the racial connotations, stating that in every attack purported to be the "knockout game" the assailants were young black men and the victims white.[12]
Jesse Singal of the Columbia Journalism Review noted that several of the news reports on the knockout game featured videos taken from the Internet without any contextual evidence that the attacks were possibly related to the knockout game. Many videos began with the victim already facing their assailant, rather than the videos depicting the victim being blindsided by a random attack. He also found one example where the attack did not take place in the United States nor was the assailant a teenager following a viral trend; rather the video depicted an attack in East London by a 35-year-old man who may have had substance abuse problems or mental illnesses. When Singal approached several local news stations, a representative from an NBC affiliate responded saying that the footage had been taken from a shared pool of stock footage that other NBC stations in the area were given, and generally if footage is found to be inaccurate there would be a digital note concerning it. The note was absent in the case of the London video for reasons unknown. Singal's investigation led him to believe that people around the country are being told a story that has not been properly researched.[71]
Chris Hayes host of MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes gave the knockout game his first annual "Over-Covered Stories of the Year" award, due to the excessive coverage by Fox News. Regarding the event, Hayes stated, "You get a sense of the racial politics and subtext well not even subtext... text."[72]
The assault perpetrated by Barrett has also caused some questioning in reporting. AWR Hawkins writing for Breitbart.com believed that the reporting of the white-on-black crime and the federal authorities' response only highlighted the belief that the alleged trend of black-on-white attacks was underreported by "mainstream media".[17] Robin Abcarian for the Los Angeles Times criticized this reporting style by a conservative analyst, saying that blame was shifted onto the federal government. Abcarian also noted that Barrett explicitly stated he was seeking a black victim, and postulated that he may have been acting on this "lazy narrative that black teens were randomly attacking white people". She also criticized the statement by Rev. Sharpton and the conservative news sources who began supporting him after decades of opposition.[14] Tommy Christopher writing for Mediaite made note of Fox News' James Rosen's report on the attack being misleading, noting claims made by Rosen that it is the first such attack to be charged as a hate crime, when it is simply the first under federal statute, noting the arrest of Amrit Marajh in Brooklyn and the investigation of the assault on Taj Patterson,[73] who claims he was assaulted by a group of Orthodox Jewish men.[74][75] Abcarian also criticized the reporting of this attack as possibly being related to the knockout game trend, as the alleged attackers sought out Patterson because he was gay rather than because he was black. She also brought up a case of a fabrication of a "knockout"-style attack, after the victim and her boyfriend revealed she had lied that she was attacked at random by a stranger and instead he had struck her, noting that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch did not report the initial attack as a "knockout game" attack.[76] Abcarian also noted that the 2011 attack by the now 16-year-old Dajour Washington on 51-year-old James Addlesburger was being used for sensationalism. The video of the assault was being shown by Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, to which Addlesburger felt he was being exploited and manipulated to fan racial hatred. Washington, who spent 9 months in juvenile detention for the attack, appeared on Nightline in 2013 and revealed that he had not attacked Addlesburger because he was white but rather because he was the only man present and that at the time of the attack he had never heard of the "knockout game".[13]

He stole his parents' van to get away, ditched it to steal a second car, then bailed from the second car to steal a thir vehicle before police used stop sticks to stop the pick-up and sent it spinning into a field.

What does ARCS mean?
- ARCS is a firmware bootloader used in most computers produced by SGI since the beginning of the 1990s. The ARCS system is loosely compliant with the Advanced RISC Computing standard, promulgated by the Advanced Computing Environment consortium in the early 1990s. In another sense, the ARC standard is based on SGI's ARCS, which was used as a basis for generating the ARC standard itself, although ARC calls for a little-endian system while ARCS system is big-endian on all MIPS-based systems. Despite various inconsistencies between the two, both SGI's ARCS implementations and the ARC standard share many commonalities. Most of the computers which use the ARCS firmware are based on the MIPS line of microprocessors. But, the SGI Visual Workstation series, which is based on the Intel Pentium III, also uses ARCS. The Visual Workstation series is the only commercially produced Intel 80386-compatible system which used an ARCS firmware, rather than the traditional PC BIOS used in most Intel 386-lineage machines. A list of product lines which use the ARCS console includes: ⁕SGI Crimson ⁕SGI Indigo

text: This was honestly one of the worst "plays" I've ever seen. I was able to make it through maybe 30 minutes of non-laughter before I had to leave. Do yourself a favor and save your money for something else. I am a big David Sedaris fan and was bitterly disappointed with this, as I expected so much more from him and his writing. Not only was the writing mediocre, but the "multitalented" McKeeever was dreadful. Seriously, don't waste your time or money. The fact that people are saying this is good just goes to show that Miami is not quite on the level as other major artistic cities.

During three years of severe training under the great master Gizan, Koshu was unable to gain satori.
At the beginning of a special seven-day session of discipline,he thought his chance had finally come.He climbed the tower of the temple gate,and going up to the arhat images he made this vow: Either I realize my dreams up here, or they'll find my dead body at the foot of this tower.
He went without food or sleep, giving himself up to constant zazen, often crying out things like: What was my karma that in spite of all these efforts I can't grasp the way?
At last he admitted failure, and, determined to end it all, he went to the railing and slowly lifted his leg over it. At that very instant he had an awakening
Overjoyed, he rushed down the stairs and through the rain to Gizan's room.
Before he had a chance to speak, the master cried: Bravo! - you've finally had your day.
Man is the only animal who can think of, try to, or actually commit suicide. Suicide is very special. It is human.
Animals live, they die, but they cannot commit suicide. They live, but there are not any problems, life doesn't create any angst, anguish. Life is not an anxiety for them - they simply live it; and then, as simply as they live, they simply die. Animals don't have any death consciousness. In fact, they are neither aware of life, nor of death, so the question of suicide doesn't arise. They are not conscious at all; they live in the deepest sleep of the unconscious.
Only man can commit suicide. That means that only man can do something about life or death; it means that only man can stand against life. This possibility is there because man is conscious. But remember, the problems of life, the anxiety, the tension, the anguish, or the final decision to commit suicide, do not come out of consciousness - they come out of a fragmentary consciousness.
This has to be understood deeply. A Buddha is also conscious, but he cannot commit suicide, cannot even think about it. Suicide doesn't exist for a Buddha, but he is also conscious. Why? Animals are unconscious totally; Buddha is conscious totally. With total consciousness there is no problem, or, with total unconsciousness there is no problem. In fact, to be total in any way is to be beyond problems.

ANL-E has prepared and delivered to ANL-W the UCl3 needed for the Mark-V ER. ANL-W has completed the processing of 48 of 100 driver assemblies. It has cast 372 kg of low-enrichment uranium. The cathode processor size has increased from 12 to 17 kg. The casting furnace batch size has increased from 36 to 54 kg. Blanket fuel element chopper installation is complete. The Mark-V ER is installed and process chemicals loaded.
ANL has documented two important decisions: (1) the selection of sodalite over zeolite as the host ceramic waste form for nonnoble fission products and transuranic element (TRU) waste components from the molten processing salt of the EMT process and (2) an outline of a qualification testing plan for both the proposed ceramic and metal waste forms. At ANL-E, "cold" metal waste forms using simulated, nonradioactive fission products are being produced and studied. A number of ongoing activities are related to developing the glass-bonded sodalite (GBS) ceramic waste form. Establishing the credibility of the EMT process must eventually include resolution of waste form issues.
Detailed descriptions of the following technologies are discussed in the body of this report. This summary gives an assessment of the viability of these technologies as possible alternatives to electrometallurgical treatment for EBR-II spent fuel.
The long-term durability of the proposed overpack container has not been demonstrated or documented. At the present time, direct emplacement of EBR-II spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is precluded by DOE policy concerning acceptance of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)-designated mixed waste (which contains both hazardous and radioactive waste). Because it contains both metallic uranium and sodium, EBR-II SNF is categorized as a RCRA hazardous waste that is potentially both pyrophoric and reactive.
Considering the time period and cost necessary for developing a Glass Material Oxidation and Dissolution System (GMODS) relative to the level of maturity of the EMT process, GMODS does not appear to be a viable alternative for processing only EBR-II SNF unless the process is also applied to other SNFs and miscellaneous fissile materials.
No experimental work relevant to the processing of EBR-II SNF has been carried out on melt and dilute. No development schedule or cost estimates were presented; therefore the committee does not have sufficient information to evaluate melt and dilute as a viable alternative to EMT.
The development of a versatile head-end process to handle mechanical decladding, sodium removal, and zirconium sludge formation for EBR-II SNF for the Savannah River Site (SRS) PUREX facility does not seem justified for the purpose solely of treating the relatively small quantity of EBR-II fuel that will remain after the completion of the EMT demonstration.

Top News
The click becomes radios new APD.
The radio industry has been using its listener click information on websites to market stations to advertisers. But the real-time metrics are increasingly also being used in the programming department to tailor online and on-air content. Its not just music stations gauging how hot Nicki Minajs new single is to listeners. Radios news stations are using the data to gauge what the biggest hot-button stories are in their city.
When Hubbard Broadcastings WTOP-FM, Washington (103.5) refers to its newsroom as the glass- enclosed nerve center, its more than just theater of the mind. Radios most successful all-news brand uses sophisticated tools to ensure its sending the right signals from the nerve center. A large-screen monitor displaying a wealth of data about whats trending on WTOP.com looms large near the newsroom. It lists the top 20 most-viewed stories from the past hour; the most Facebooked, Tweeted and emailed stories; the most searched phrases on the site; total page views and other analytics. Another tool measures how a story is performing against an historical benchmark for the specific position it occupies on the homepage.
The information is used to help determine which stories stay, go, move or get a tweak when the website is refreshed six times a day. We use it to determine what the interest in a story is, director of digital media John Meyer says.
But its just a piece of the puzzle. Human editorial judgment ultimately prevails. Still, the ability to track in real time whats resonating among 1.4 million monthly unique visitors helps the station identify stories ripe for a follow-up, pick email headlines and know what topics to engage with listeners on via social media. You can tell when something resonates, Meyer says. We use the numbers as an indicator of whats going to give us the most traction.
In an era of shrinking research budgets, tools like those used by Washingtons WTOP show more than just whats trending on the stations website. Program director Laurie Cantillo uses them as a real-time gauge of whats hot and whats not when making on-air programming decisions. You may not know whether to stay on a topic for another day or two, she says. Its a good canary in the coalmine. Cantillo says the stations editors use the web analytics tools to not only validate a story but to identify sleeper stories or something the station might have otherwise missed.
If a story is moving up in interest hour to hour, thats a real good barometer, she says. But just because a dog video story is popping online doesnt mean it will lead the top-of-the-hour newscast. We want to be sure that were sticking by our primary mission which is Washingtons breaking news, traffic and weather station, and giving people information about impactful and relevant issues. But the station may briefly mention the dog video and encourage listeners to check it out online. It also airs regular 15-second promos about whats trending on WTOP.com.
How many radio stations say, Go check out our website but never give you a reason, Cantillo says. Were constantly sending people to our website to see videos or get more information about stories they hear on the air.

Head cheese or brawn is a cold cut that originated in Europe. A version pickled with vinegar is known as souse. Head cheese is not a dairy cheese, but a terrine or meat jelly made with flesh from the head of a calf or pig, or less commonly a sheep or cow, and often set in aspic. The parts of the head used vary, but the brain, eyes, and ears are usually removed. The tongue, and sometimes even the feet and heart, may be included.
Head cheese may be flavored with onion, black pepper, allspice, bay leaf, salt, and vinegar. It is usually eaten cold or at room temperature as a luncheon meat. It can also be made from quality trimmings from pork and veal, adding gelatin to the stock as a binder.
Historically, meat jellies were made of the cleaned (all organs removed) head of the animal, which was simmered to produce stock, a peasant food made since the Middle Ages. When cooled, the stock congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the skull. The aspic may need additional gelatin, or more often, reduction to set properly.
The term head cheese is used in North America,[1][2][3] brawn in Britain[4][5][6][7][8][9] and Australia,[10] though more commonly potted heid is used in Scotland.[9][11] The term souse for the pickled variety is North American and West Indian.[12]
This article possibly contains original research. (January 2012) |
In Australia, it is known as brawn or Presswurst. It is usually seen as something of an old-fashioned dish, although various large firms, such as Don and KR Castlemaine produce it.
Souse is pickled meat and trimmings usually made from pig's feet, chicken feet or cow's tongue, to name a few.[18] The cooked meat or trimmings are cut into bite-sized pieces and soaked in a brine made of water, lime juice, cucumbers, hot pepper, salt and specially prepared seasonings. It is usually eaten on Saturday mornings, especially in St. Vincent and Barbados. In Trinidad and Tobago, it is served or sold at most social gatherings, such as parties, all-inclusive fetes and sporting competitions.
Head cheese is very popular and is usually referred to as queso de cabeza in Chile and Colombia, and queso de puerco in Mexico. In Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica, it is also known as queso de chancho. It is known as queso de Cerdo in Uruguay and Argentina. In Panama, it is known as sao (from Caribbean English souse), made with pig's feet and prepared the same way as in the Caribbean; it is a dish from the Caribbean coast, where most of Panama's West Indian community lives.

Get AccessAbstract
Profitable precision or variable application of inputs depends on many factors; however, the inherent variability in a soil and or crop property and the relative responsiveness of yield to fertilizer inputs at different soil concentration levels are the most important factors in influencing economic gain. Generally, the greater is the spatial variation in the property influencing the input rate, the greater is the potential economic return from precision application compared to uniform application of an input. Based on a quantitative assessment of the spatial variation in soil properties that influence rates of input, a variable-rate decision support tool (VRDST) was developed to: (1) assess the potential profitability of variable-rate compared to uniform application and (2) identify the economic optimal uniform application rate if this is selected. The VRDST was evaluated using spatially distributed soil data from selected fields in North Carolina. Net return from variable-rate application and the economically optimal uniform rates are illustrated. Varying fertilizer cost, crop price and sampling costs greatly influenced net return from variable-rate application.

PhillJune 2001 |
Well, I'm actually writing a second article. Go me!! Yeah, most of you probably meant to click on someone else's column and are thinking "You wrote a first article? Oh yeah, that was the one that totally sucked!" But oh well, I'm going to persevere even if it would probably be for the common good if I didn't.
Soooo, I read Craig's article last week. Yeah, I didn't like some of the things he said, so I'm going to comment. I'm an agnostic atheist-I don't think you could prove there is or isn't a God, but I don't think there is one. I don't try to antagonize anyone, as long as people leave me alone they can do whatever they want as far as I care. Anyway, back to the point, Craig said in his article that;
1. Evolution is crap-we should have witnessed some if it actually happened.
2. There isn't any logical reason for not believing in God.
3. Belief in God has made the world a beautiful place.
If you really want to get the whole gist go back and read his article, I suggest you do and formulate your own opinions.
1. Did anyone pay attention in Biology class? These people who are denouncing evolution don't even know what it's about because they are to busy giving a hissy fit. The world is approximately 6 billion years old (I asked my sister, she's in biology, so if I'm wrong blame her). Humans have recorded history for about 15,000 years I think (it's been a while, I'm probably WAY off, and I apologize). That is a really short time on earth. It's probably the equivalent of a millisecond in a day. Yeah, I'm too lazy to do the math, but anyways. Evolution takes place over a long period of time, really long. You can't witness evolution happening, it's not like those morph things in Michael Jackson's Black and White video (where did that come from?). Besides, there is evidence of evolution everywhere, in that humans have an appendix and a tailbone. I don't know, I think it makes sense. And some biblical scholars say that if you loosely interpret that seven days the world was created it fits. So you don't even have to be sacrilegious!!!
2. I don't believe in God, cause I don't see any evidence of a God. I just don't have that feeling or faith that there is a higher power and that God is protecting me. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're wrong, we are probably all wrong, but who care anyway? We all end up dead.
3. Say WHAT???!!! Okay, there has been some great things coming from religion. Music, Art, Books, Architecture; religion surely does inspire some people. But religion has inspired some BAD things too. The Spanish inquisition, the crusades, the ongoing terrorization in Israel, the Salem witch trials, all those straight conversion clinics where you can 'treated'. All in the name of religion. So religion hasn't made the world a big happy place-everyone's in wars and dying. Who knows, maybe the terrorists will get a nuke and bomb Israel-wouldn't that be ironic?
Enough about religion. Take it or leave it. Make your own views and stick to 'em, that's what I'm saying. So, you know who really pisses me off, George W. Bush-President of the United States of America. Okay, so here's my take on his whole life. He was born into his rich ass family and went to his rich ass prep school, which I don't care about-what else are rich ass people supposed to do? Then he got into Yale since his rich senator Father went there, which kind of sucks. I mean, they talk about Affirmative Action blocking people from going to school, how about all this elitist crap. Then he parties hard in his frat, smoking weed, drinking, all that good stuff. He sure has those Christian values down pat!! Then, because his father's rich and he doesn't want to go to Vietnam, he gets into the Texas National Guard.
Okay, they knocked on Clinton for draft dodging, but he gets away with that bullshit? That pisses me off. At least Gore went to Nam, and he got more shit for smoking pot than Shrub. If you go to Nam, you're allowed to smoke the pot, that's what I say. Then he inherits his father's oil company or something (I'm not THAT interested in him) and owns the Texas rangers and blah. Oh yeah, then he gets caught for DUI when he's 30 something. I know everybody else in the country doesn't care, but it kind of pisses me off. Maybe I paid a little too much attention in Driver's Ed, but Drinking and Driving is BAD. It shows an incredible lack of responsibility. How about if he killed someone and it showed up in one of those commercials, would that be okay? I got more shit when my brakes failed.
So yeah, now he's president and advocating all this Educational stuff, and he can't even talk. Now you're thinking "Phill, you can't talk either!" Yeah, I know. But I'm not the president. See, I think if you are not intellectually or emotionally capable of running the US, then you shouldn't run for president. I would never run for president, because I would suck at it. I'm serving my country!! This little bastard did it because he could and he wanted to get laid (or at least that's what I think. I mean, with all that stuff with Clinton, being President seems almost the same as being a pimp). So yeah. Shrub annoys me. I hope he isn't re-elected. Then those republicans are going to name some shit about him, just like Reagan.
Here in DC they Republicans in the Gov. want to withhold money from the Metro (our subway system) cause on the maps it doesn't say Ronald Reagan National Airport, just National Airport. Changing it would cost money. Talk about a waste of the taxpayer's money!!!
You know what, people are getting really boring with their insults these days. All I here is 'Gay' and 'Fag' over and over and over. Ugh, they are so unoriginal!! They can't even use the more colorful terms like 'Fudge Packer' and 'Carpet Muncher'. Yeah, so I've decided that whenever anyone says "That's so Gay" I'm going to start saying things are "Sooo Christian", since most of the people I know who do it are. I'm not going to do this whole "How would you feel?" stuff, it's not working. And if they don't stop I'm just going to keep doing it to piss them off. When you think about it there are some parallels. I mean, they think that being Gay is a choice, and being Christian surely is one. Both are formulated at an early age. Okay, I would make a joke now, but I can't think of any. E-mail me if you can!! I'll start one of those dumb chain e-mails. You are going to die if you don't read this!!! And then have a bunch of Christian-Gay jokes. Ugh, I'm horrible.
So yeah, as of thus far only two people responded to my virginity question (Thanks Tommy and Jo!!). I know my article was bad, but I really wanted to know. So Tommy thinks that people are virgins because they can't get laid, which I'm sure is true in some cases. Jo thinks that you lose your virginity when you go as far as you are willing to with either sex. I think that's a good definition. I was reading this book called Losing It and it had accounts of people losing their virginity. It's good; there were accounts of two gay guys, one lesbian, and even the straight guy that was screwing with his buddies since he couldn't get some women booty. I recommend it. It even gets hot in some places!!
My article is getting really long, but oh well. So, speaking of sex, do you think Necrophiliacs are a myth or are there actual people who like to get it on with dead people? Are they organized? I would type it into a web browser, but I'm a little freaked out myself. Do you think you could request in your will that your body be donated to some Necrophiliac organization, you know, saying "Have fun." I don't know, I'm not sure I want to know. So yeah, this prompts my question for y'all. Say this girl/guy that you have a crush on and you are at this party. Then you go out for a walk and they pass out cause they were drinking too much or something. I don't know if passing out is really serious, but it isn't in this scenario. You are all alone. Would you do anything with them? Kiss them, check under the hood-nothing that constitutes date rape, but you know. So I was just wondering. E-mail me if you feel inclined.
Well, that's my article. I have been incapacitated from going to both the pride festival and the gay prom in the past four weeks. I think someone's trying to tell me something. Good luck on final exams everyone!! Later.Phill is a 17 year old junior attending a Fairfax County Public School in VA; a hop, skip, and a jump away from DC. If you read Eric Marcus' book entitled Is it a choice? you can even read about how in Fairfax they get to watch this movie called "What if I'm gay?" in Family Life education. He uses punctuation in inappropriate places, plays tuba, isn't fluent in Japanese, and is a lot more shy than appears so in his article. If you have a comment or would like to answer any of his questions he would appreciate a word or two sent at email@example.com.

The Midland team kicked off a three-day test at Silverstone on Tuesday with Tiago Monteiro and Fabrizio Del Monte at the wheel of the teams M16 machine.
Del Monte shook down their test chassis and conducted a series of control systems and aero tests in the morning. According to the team, he proved himself very competent during his first full circuit test for them in 2006, ahead of his scheduled outing as their third driver at the Hungarian Grand Prix later in the year.
"I was happy with my work today, said Del Monte, whose best lap from 67 was a 1m 26.050s. My times could have been better, but I wanted to drive well inside my abilities so as not to take any undue risks with the car. Now, I am looking forward to helping the team improve further when I drive for them on Friday in Hungary."
Race driver Monteiro took over the car for the afternoon session, but the teams planned tyre programme was disrupted by heavy showers at the British Grand Prix circuit. Instead they completed some wet set-up work.
"I was unfortunate with the weather today, that's for sure! said Monteiro. It's too bad the rain couldn't wait until after my session was over, but that's OK. We managed to make a couple of outings in the dry before running a short control systems programme in the wet, so the day was still reasonably productive."
Monteiro completed 20 laps, with a best time of 1m 23.540s.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jets off to a flying start
Fans get taste of what team might be able to accomplish
There are boxes to unpack and some settling in to do yet. And, yes, it's way too early to be making any concrete conclusions.
But it's also not a stretch to say this after the Winnipeg Jets knocked off the Los Angeles Kings 5-3 in their 2013-14 home opener in front of another raucous MTS Centre crowd Friday night:
They are really digging their new neighbourhood among the tall trees in the National Hockey League's Western Conference.
And while there were some iffy moments down the stretch -- the Jets held a 4-1 advantage before a pair of late power-play goals by the Kings made things far more interesting than the home side wanted -- they did improve to 2-0 courtesy some big-time contributions from some of the usual faces.
Evander Kane scored twice, Ondrej Pavelec was outstanding, Dustin Byfuglien was a force, Bryan Little and Olli Jokinen were solid, while the work of new faces like Devin Setoguchi, Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba was also critical in the win.
Most importantly, the Jets fulfilled one of their primary objectives heading into the season: to be hard to play against.
"I think we've stressed we need to play the right way on a nightly basis," said captain Andrew Lad. "That's the biggest thing. We've seen it in spurts over the last couple of years, and being on the outside looking in we've realized that's not good enough. What we've come up with as a group is that we want that every night and we've stressed that. I think you've seen that so far."
Home debut redux
The home-opener win was the Jets' first since their rebirth in Winnipeg after serving up two duds in their first attempts -- the 5-1 stinker to Montreal in Year 1 and last season's 4-1 yawner against Ottawa. And, just FYI, the last time this franchise opened a campaign with consecutive wins was 2009-10 when the Atlanta Thrashers knocked off Tampa and St. Louis.
On Friday both Kane and Blake Wheeler pointed to using their speed and physical play to key a home-ice turnaround this season -- the Jets had just the 21st-best home record last season -- and while they were outshot 18-7 in the first period, the two clubs were knotted at 1-1 and Winnipeg had dominated the hit parade 13-7.
"You put the puck in the net in this building and you get to feed off the crowd," Ladd said. "The energy was awesome. We need to keep putting the puck in the net here because it's fun to play here when the crowd is energized."
Engaged, all right
With apologies to Pavelec, who was outstanding -- especially early -- the best player on the ice was Kane. Interestingly, his engagement to longtime girlfriend Ashley Chamberland was all over social media late Thursday and No. 9 was certainly engaged against the Kings. His stat line was absolutely gaudy: two goals, one assist, eight shots, five hits, nine minutes in penalties -- including a second-period scrap with Colin Fraser -- along with one blocked shot in 14 minutes and 38 second of ice time.
"We got to the body early and against a team like L.A. you have to let them know you're not going to be run out of your own building," said Kane. "We did a good job of sticking up for each other and being physical. Those kinds of things lead to turnovers and people second guessing themselves."
The kids are all right
The Jets may be concerned about all the hype surrounding Trouba and Scheifele, but the two first-rounders are already staples on the second line and second defence pairing. Scheifele, who looks far more comfy now than in the pre-season, picked up an assist, drew a couple of penalties and was plus-2 while Trouba played 20:53 and was solid through 40 minutes before a pair of giveaways in the third period.
Interestingly, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and head coach Claude Noel had a little chat with both youngsters on Thursday to pat them on the back for their work in the opening-night win against Edmonton, stress the importance of rest and nutrition and then hammered home that the season is a marathon, not a sprint.
"We had a nice chat, talked about Game 1. We said, 'Guys, keep on going. You'll get the opportunities as you deserve them and as they come,'" the Jets GM told LeBrun. "They're both very humble kids, but they're both showing a lot more maturity than a lot of 19-year and 20-year-olds."
