Travel north along the coast to Caesarea to see ancient Roman ruins. Continue on to the artists' village of Ein Hod, set amidst olive groves at the foot of Mt. Carmel overlooking the sea. In the hills of Galilee, stay at a hotel on the grounds of a kibbutz founded in 1916, then visit Mount Bental for a panoramic view of Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Spend two nights on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Tiberias, and explore Nazareth, with visits to the Church of the Annunciation, the Mount of Beatitudes, and the ruins of Capernaum.

Agent-collected loans are different because our agents call at your home to collect your repayments. To find out more about our agents visit What is an agent. Agents are paid commission on how much money they collect, not how much they lend. So it's in their interest to make sure you only borrow what you can afford to pay back. Finally, agent-collected credit gives you the option to borrow small amounts – we offer loans starting from just £100.
Provident Agents are at the heart of our business, offering a personal service to our customers. Your Agent will visit you in your home to discuss your loan and repayments and will then deliver your loan to you at a time that's convenient. Your agent will also arrange a convenient day to call and collect loan repayments.
95%† of our customers agree that their agents are trustworthy, professional and friendly. In fact, many used to be customers of Provident, so they know and understand the business.

Home credit (also known as home collected credit) is a friendly, personal service that provides small loans with manageable repayments. They're collected each week from your home by your own agent.
These agents do not receive commission based on how much they lend, but how much they collect. That means it's not in their interest to lend more than you can comfortably afford to repay.
The whole idea of home credit is that you feel in control of your finances, and can manage the repayments easily.
You could borrow between £100 and £1000*, depending upon your personal circumstances and the weekly loan repayment you're comfortable with.
When you take a cash loan from us, you know upfront exactly how much you will have to pay each week. That means you can borrow money knowing there will never be any unexpected extras.
Use our Loan Calculator now to see how much you could borrow and remember you don't have to borrow cash, there's our Love2shop Vouchers too.
We believe in a straightforward approach to loans. Our small, unsecured loans have fixed weekly repayments with no hidden fees or late payment charges.
We are flexible- the total cost of the loan is fixed. If you miss a payment with us, we don't increase the cost of your loan- there are no hidden charges.
We're flexible about how you borrow from us too – as well as Cash Loans, we also offer Love2shop Vouchers.
Yes it is.
We'll only discuss details of your loan with you and not with other family members or friends as we're bound by the Data Protection Act.
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on your loan will depend on how much you want to borrow and how many weeks you choose to repay it over.
Once these have been agreed with your agent, they will be able to tell you what the APR for your loan is.
If you want to find out more about APRs, visit our
APR explained page.
At Provident, we understand life doesn't always happen as we planned. If your circumstances change and you need to discuss your loan, you should contact your Agent as soon as possible.

For more than 35 years, Severn Trent De Nora (STDN) has been a leading provider of water disinfection systems using onsite generated sodium hypochlorite produced from seawater or brine. In fact, our predecessor companies, Eltech Systems Corp., and Industrie De Nora, invented the electrode coatings that created a Dimensionally Stable Anode (DSA®), a non-sacrificial anode technology that permits the on-site generation of sodium hypochlorite.
Severn Trent De Nora is the combination of the onsite sodium hypochlorite generation businesses of Severn Trent Services and Industrie De Nora. The joint venture encompasses the products, services, and operations of their respective subsidiaries, Exceltec International Corp. and De Nora Seaclor, S.r.l. The product lines included are BALPURE®, CECHLO, ClorTec® , MARINER OMNIPURE® Series M55, OMNIPURE™, OMNIPURE™ Series 55, SANILEC® and SEACLOR® .
STDN's full range of electrolytic disinfection solutions address global water and wastewater treatment needs and are offered with standardized and accepted international industry standards, documentation packages and services, throughout the life of the installation. STDN also offers a broader range of services including upfront design and optimization assistance, supply of engineered systems, through to installation, erection, commissioning and maintenance.
Markets Served:
Product Lines and their applications:
BALPURE® is a proprietary and Type Approved electrolytic disinfection ballast water treatment system. Using a slip stream approach, the BALPURE system can be remotely mounted away from the main ballast lines. The system is most commonly supplied in six small, sub-assembly components. It can be installed in the most convenient location to suit vessel machinery, minimizing the relocation of other equipment or the need for engineering or ship re-designs. It features low power requirements – less than half of some competing systems; low maintenance requirements; and simple operation. Accommodating ballast water treatment for vessels ranging from 500 to 20,000+ m3/h, the BALPURE system is especially advantageous for crude oil tankers, chemical/product tankers, LNG/LPG carriers, bulk carriers and container ships.
CECHLO electrochlorination systems for the on-site generation of sodium hypochlorite, is a well-established product line in Japan and was developed over 35 years ago. CECHLO-M produces the required amount of sodium hypochlorite through the electrolysis of the seawater. When seawater is not available, brine based electrochlorination systems CECHLO-MS/NS/IS are ideal applications that produce sodium hypochlorite from brine. CECHLO-MS/IS systems employ Ion Exchange Membrane technology to produce sodium hypochlorite at high concentration.
ClorTec® on-site sodium hypochlorite generation systems have a strong reputation as the leading global technology provider with a proven track record of 3,000+ global installations. ClorTec on-site sodium hypochlorite generation systems have been designed, manufactured, installed, operated and serviced since 1995. The ClorTec systems generate a 0.8% sodium hypochlorite disinfection solution, a chlorine equivalent, using three common consumables: salt, water and electricity. ClorTec units range in capacity from up to 1 kg/day or 2 lb/day to 1,360+ kg/day or 3000+ lb/day, while ClorTec systems are engineered and offered to meet any specified application demand. To meet varying application specific conditions, the ClorTec units are available as component-based or skid-based packaged systems.
MARINER OMNIPURE® Series M55 Marine Sanitation Devices offer a fresh approach to sewage treatment in the vessel, workboat and yacht markets while resulting in wastewater effluent quality well below the MEPC.159(55) requirements. The MARINER OMNIPURE Series M55 units incorporate the same electrolytic treatment benefits of any other OMNIPURE unit, but with the added advantages of less maintenance and a small, compact size to fit vessels in the target markets. Systems can accommodate treatment capacities up to 75 persons (black water) and up to 25 persons (black and gray); the largest unit treats a peak flow of 2,160 gallons (8,176 Liters) of human wastewater per day.

EUGENE, Ore. — More than 300 girls currently living with foster parents will be primped and pampered this weekend at Princess for a Day.
Each of them will be treated like a princess and dressed like one too.
The event put on by A Family for Every Child has been a huge success in years past.
"It wasn't about being a foster child. It was about being a princess, being special, being beautiful, just really being everything that is wonderful about yourself, and that's what we really hope to bring them," said Christy Obie-Barrett, Executive Director.
The event is still accepting donations of gently used or new dresses, shoes or jewelry. You can drop those items off at the A Family for Every Child office anytime between now and Friday.

An active ALEC member who is a Tennessee State Senator recently displayed to the country where all of this Obamacare misinformation and naivety over the entire process was originating from. Brian Kelsey (R-Ten.) recently swarmed up to visiting HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for a photo-op of a gift he wanted to present to her… Do-it-Yourself Web Sites for Dummies.
It would be a cute joke if this was one web developer handing that book to a colleague who was having issues, however… Kelsey isn't a developer. Kelsey's education suggests that his vast experience with computers involves lots of spreadsheets and legal forms. So, the notion that this was a joke goes out the window with the missing players to make it funny. Sebelius was passing by the freshmen who you can see behind her in the gray suit up against the wall in the photo below. The guy with the little smirk on his face.
If this is the type of help that republicans are offering when America is having problems, then we don't need republicans in office.
That book was printed in 2010 and instructs you through building a website using outdated software… Which definitely explains some things about the GOP's naivety on the technical aspects of Big Data (which really wasn't mainstream until the end of 2012).
Brian Kelsey is a moron of a whole new type. Even the Tea Party thinks he is an idiot. If the Tea Party makes you look stupid… Wow. Just, Wow. Enough said.

This is a really unusual little 1950s triangular table. Perfect for a cosy corner. It has a pretty patterned yellow Formica type top and slightly splayed, tapered black painted legs.
It's being sold by St Peter's Hospice*. It's current high bid is £22.57 and P&P is a further £12.99 but you're welcome to collect from them if you're able to get to Bristol.
*St Peter's Hospice is Bristol's Hospice, caring for people in the local area who are living with incurable cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Last year they cared for over 2,000 local people and their families. All their services are provided completely free of charge and they rely on donations and legacies from the local community to help them continue providing their specialised care to those who need it.

Square Enix Launches Manga Store: Some Concerns
Posted in Manga News on December 30, 2010 by JohannaAbout a week before Christmas, the manga publisher Square Enix announced the launch of their online manga store. They're not the only manga publisher to do so — Viz, for example, has an iPad app, and Tokyopop has been experimenting with various vendors. In fact, I hadn't previously been aware of Square Enix as a publisher, since their best-known titles — Fullmetal Alchemist, The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Yumekui Kenbun: Nightmare Inspector — have been published in the U.S. by Viz.
There are a number of problems with this approach. The first I've already alluded to — the provider isn't known as a brand in the U.S. manga market. Plus, I want to see a consolidated digital store for manga, instead of having to set up different accounts with different publishers who use different formats and delivery methods and prices.
Speaking of the pricing, the books aren't exactly cheap. The site is promoting "the special sale price of $5.99 for a limited time", which suggests they're going to want more later, even though $6 for books you can buy used for under $4 is already rather costly. And you don't get to download copies, only stream via Flash, which means that you have to 1) be connected to the internet to read and 2) trust that the store website isn't going to disappear in a few years.
The selection is limited, with only half the series having more than one volume available. New releases will be coming bi-monthly next year — I'm unclear on whether that means twice a month or every two months. Oh, did I mention it's U.S. only, thus defeating part of the purpose of being on the internet? There's some really weird press release copy on the subject as follows:
SQUARE ENIX aims to provide a global audience with easy access to localized versions of its popular manga titles through streaming. Also, through cooperation with regional localization/publishing companies, SQUARE ENIX will endeavor to promote both print and online versions of its manga titles globally. Furthermore, it is the company's aim for the official online distribution service to serve as a deterrent against illegal downloading and piracy.
I'm guessing they're trying to sign deals with other outlets to provide translations to sell in local currency, but this will not solve the problem they mention in the last sentence. In fact, by purposefully locking out customers, they end up encouraging file-sharing of copies. Commenters at MangaBlog point out these and other problems, including the pricing, the risk of the outlet going under, the lack of a desire to rent the books (which is what this scheme really is), and how old many of these titles are, meaning that fans of the series already own the first volumes.
Lissa Pattillo did an early review of the site and has many of the same concerns. As she says,
Online manga should be aiming to offer readers what scanlations are always touted as providing in their purest intentions – manga the reader can't get in their language or in print at all. Until sites start offering this, and at prices comparable to the value manga readers are used to paying for a fully-owned, physical copy, I don't think digital manga will be fully embraced just yet.
She also points out that the company doesn't accept submissions, and if you send them something anyway, they claim ownership of it.
7 Comments
I share most of these concerns (particularly the price point for manga we can't even download to our own devices), but just a note as a fan of the publisher… I think their brand is significant, at least in certain segments of the US manga market. They are Yen Press' major partner, and their GFantasy titles, especially (Black Butler, Pandora Hearts, Nabari no Ou, etc.) are pretty popular in my circles these days.

12/31/2010 at 7:04 AMThey're best known in the West as a videogame publisher (Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, among others) — different medium, but it still gives them some name recognition.
Yeah, they're huge in video games. For all my love of anime, I knew them first and foremost as a videogame company. I almost wonder if new FMA, RoaFV and YK videogames are coming out. Using the website as a tie-in might actually bolster sales amongst gamers who don't already read manga (or boost videogame sales from manga fans), but I'm not sure how big that market might be.
I had a good laugh over that claiming ownership of mailed concepts statement, though. I would LOVE to see them try to enforce that in court. It would be funnier than an episode of Princess Jellyfish – and that is not praise I give out lightly.
I couldn't agree more with Lissa, they'd probably only get me to pay those prices if it was something unavailable in print over here. I do hope that someday I'll be able to own all my manga in secure digital format, my manga collection has taken over a lot of space in my home. But all the current ways to own digital manga in the market currently don't appeal to me.

Dr. IMAD Rasool's Ratings
He is the WORST doctor with the WORST staff. Betty doesn't know what she is doing and neither does anyone there. I was supposed to get a Spinal Cord Implant for back pain (broke my back 8 years ago with 2 back surgeries). I got the phycology eval. and my insurance approved my procedure back on Dec. 6, 2013. I kept calling them to see what was taking so long. All they said was they have nothing. I contacted my insurance, & they said they approved it a long time ago & gave me the auth. number. I called them again & the said I was being to demanding & disrespectful. Excuse me, but you are pain clinic, & I'm in pain. The dr. called me yesterday & said 'you are a selfish, dmanding, inconsiderate b**ch & I refuse to be your dr.' No, I'm on your case because I need & getting NO help. He went on to degrade me as a woman & human being saying VERY rude things to me. I have NEVER been talked down to like this. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!! Now I'm trying to find a better dr.

One of the worst doctors. Offered no solution for 7 months of disabling back pain yet recommended a nerve block for a secondary issue involving numbness in thigh. Had not reviewed both MRI reports and misanalyzed my condition and simply ignored significant herniated discs. Condescending and told me my back pain is all in my control to fix even though I have gone out of network and paid out of pocket for PT, chiropractic, acupuncture, traction, cupping, etc. without recovery. I have found my own reputable doctor and am paying out of pocket for epidurals. I asked about the nerve block and he was trite and laughed when I asked questions such as how he avoids hitting the femoral artery when injecting the femoral nerve. I would not let this doctor touch me as he showed poor judgment and was sloppy in his review of my case and I was offended by his treatment of me. I also prefer a better background. Unimpressive credentials, Univ of Baghdad training.

My wife died suddenly while being treated by Dr. Rasool. Malpractice Arbitration decided against Dr. Rasool, saying his conduct breached the standard of care, and I received a monetary award, which hardly begins to compensate for having lost my soulmate.

I would have to say that Dr. Rasool is one of the kindest and honest doctors we have ever had the privaledge of having. He went above and beyond to help my husband who has lived in constant pain for almost 9 years. We love him and will continue to use his expertise. Thank God for him.

Dr. Rasool saved my life! I was so miserable and in constant pain. Thanks to his expertise, I am getting my life back. He is the best, most wonderful Physician and is a Godsend! As a Nurse, I have worked with him both professionally as well as personally, there are not enough words to describe the wonderful compassionate care that he and his staff give to each and every person who walks in the door.

Dr.Rasool and the other Dr.'s or PA's are wonderful. They treat you with care, respect and dignity. I enjoy the front office staff and the office manager but I can not say much about the billing department. If needs help with speaking to people with respect.

Exactly. UConn doesn't use questionable accounting practices and likes to separate their medical research expenditures from their non medical research expenditures. This does not mean they are 2 separate entities, however. The medical and University are still the University of Connecticut and should be added. Just about every other school that has a medical research expenditure adds it to their University research expenditure. I was simply pointing that out to MrSEC to make his numbers more accurate but ti seems he would rather overlook this part.
And your TV numbers are misleading for Bc and UConn whether you want to admit it or not. Most readers of this site probably are not familiar with the tv markets and demographics in New England so you can get away with framing the data the way you decided. The fact is BC would not be carried across the entire state of Mass. They would be covered in the Boston market and eastern Mass but central and Western Mass they would not get into many households. I would guess that BC would get into about 20-40% of households in Mass. UConn on the other hand would get close to 100% penetration in CT, most likely 65-80% of all households in CT.
You then ask why B1G would have taken Rutgers and MD over UConn. That is quite simple and you answered it in this piece and last piece.... TV numbers. NJ is one of the most populated states and gives entry into NYC along with Philly. Rutgers alone doesnt give the B1G NYC however. Not many people in NYC car all that much about Rutgers but if they are combined wtih UConn, ND, or Cuse that would lockdown the NYC market for the B1G. UConn is the most popular college in NYC when you combine football with basketball otherwise it is Rutgers, ND, Penn St then UConn when talking only football.
MD is another state that is more populated than CT. They also have reach into the DC market which is great for the BTN. Combine that with a reach into Philly also and in a swift calculated move Delaney just poached an ACC school with the richest media market. He also doubled down on the Philly market shoring that up by adding both Rutgers and MD.
Delaney is extremely intelligent. Right now he really wants UVA because that will give him the entire DC market and NOVA along with a lot of Virginia. Which is why UConn or BC seem like logical choices, with UConn being a better fit. IF Delaney takes UVA and UCOnn he not only dominates the DC market but will dominate the NYC Market as well along with having reach into the Boston market because UConn does have a reach that far since their brand is so strong in New England with alumni based in Boston and other parts of Mass. BC doesnt give the B1G an opportunity to capture the NYC market or even the entire state of Mass. UConn not only gives you the entire state of CT but a larger dominating share of NYC (when combined with Rutgers, Penn St) but also parts o Mass and the other large city, Boston, in New England. Rutgers and MD are also flagship AAU schools and UConn is on its way to being voted into the AAU in the near future.
UNC is probably the 2nd choice of Delaney but I doubt the SEC allows Delaney to come into the south and poach UNC. UNC also doesnt view themselves as a nothern school and would much rather align themselves with a southern conference.
@Quidam65 UNC and Duke are joined at the hip. If you want UNC you have to take Duke. That is something the SEC and B1G would agree to because UNC is the jewel of all the schools in the south that is not in the SEC. Duke in the SEC also gives Vandy another small private school to compete against while they dont threaten the football powers.
I am also seeing UConn is ranked #77 for research expenditures yet you have them outside the top 100. They also plan on increasing their research by $90-100 million over the next few years.
Your numbers for BC and UConn are inaccurate. UConn gets more press in the Boston Globe then BC to begin with. BC doesnt have a reach accross the entire state of Mass and doesnt even really captivate the Boston market either. UConn on the other hand has reach into Western Mass (springfield region) and has reach into the NYC market because of Fairfield County (which is part o the NYC DMA). SNY (NYC based network) doubled their UConn content on their network because the ratings for UConn sports is so high.
In addition UConn has steadily been rising in the US News rankings over the years and has been increasing its research money and hiring more staff and faculty than any school in the nation. In the next 3-10 years UConn will be part of the AAU. IN fact UConn is already part of the international AAU group. Add to the fact that UConn is the only Flagship university in New England while being one of the most affluent states in the country and there is massive potential for growth. This is important to the B1G with their network because they would be able to charge a higher rate in CT for their network and the people would pay for it because UConn basketball is the pro sports in CT. Football is only 10 years old and their recruiting has progressively gotten better each year even though the results on the field have faltered after their BCS bid a couple years ago.
There is a reason Silve called UConn a sleeping giant and Delaney mentioned Southern New England on a few occasions when talking about the B1G network reaching from Southern New England to Northern Virginia. Rutgers does not capture Southern New England and Delaney is from Jersey so he is well aware of what Southern New England is located. He also always mentions flagships research universities. The only school in Southern New England that fits that description is UConn. That does not mean UConn is going to be a choice for the B1G but they are on their radar

Late last night word that a Fiscal Cliff Compromise was passed in the House of Representatives earned sighs of relief from much of the mainstream media I flipped through. I'm no financial expert by any stretch of the imagination but while it seems that there definitely some good things, like keeping unemployment insurance for another year and preventing milk prices from doubling, there is still a lot that troubles me.
There are huge corporate subsidies that pretty much ensure that many corporations benefit and don't have the tighten their belts the way most people in the U.S. have had to do. What really bothers me though is the fact that immediately the checks that workers, including myself, bring home, will be written out for less because of the end of a payroll tax holiday. That is something that people who are already living paycheck to paycheck will feel. Just because NCLR says the deal is good for Latin@s, who have been disproportionately hurt by the poor economic situation, doesn't mean that it is. Latinos inside Congress from both sides of the aisle, voted against the deal, for very different reasons.
Are you comforted by last night's vote?

The world's toughest job interviews
PUBLISHED: 15 Aug 2013 15:07:00 | UPDATED: 17 Aug 2013 00:48:15PRINT EDITION: 15 Aug 2013Google makes the top ten on careers website Glassdoor's list of the toughest places to interview. Photo: Tamara Voninski
Alyssa McDonald
Job interviews aren't much fun at the best of times, but if you're hoping to find a job with Google, McKinsey & Co, or any of the other firms that feature in Glassdoor's latest report, you'd better steel yourself for a particularly rough ride.
The careers website's Top 25 Most Difficult Companies to Interview (2013) report uses job candidate feedback to assess how tough a company's interviews are, how long the whole interview process takes and whether the overall experience was positive or negative, as well as measuring how satisfied the successful candidates are in their jobs.
The results make interesting reading: although these interviews are tough, candidates tend to report having had a positive experience overall, while employees at most of the companies seem to be fairly satisfied with their jobs. Then again, if you'd spent 46 days going through the interview process like would-be Rolls Royce employees did, you'd probably be pretty happy to land the job too.
Here are the numbers on Glassdoor's top ten tough interviews.

text: Haruki was actually abandoned at a very young age within the Twilight kingdom. He found out quickly that not many seemed to accept him at first, especially since he hadn't found a way to hide his animal features. Most of the time when he was younger, he'd droop his ears, which blended in well with his hair. However, as time past, he began using headbands, making it easier to hide his ears. When he was still young, not many kids would play with him because he was actually the 'weird one.' They also made fun of him because of how he acted. Quiet, slow in response, and even slightly boring. Reaching his teen years, the time where he actually began making friends. This was the time he actually built personality and decided to be a little more active. Finally able to get a job at age of 14, he was able to begin paying for his schooling. Yet again, the weird one, he made as many friends as he could. He quickly became popular, and sometimes he'd find random love-letters from girls. Having to be really good in sports, and probably the looks as well might have been the reason. When the years of school were over, soon after, he was kidnapped. He was tortured vigorously by unknown unanas, who seemed to have been watching him for quite a while. Then after the torture, they threw him into training right after, giving him no mercy. This made Haruki gain his bloodlust, making him learn to not show mercy himself, nor trust anyone, making him wary of another's presence.

Hey hey! Where's me pot of gold??
Get it? get it? Okay..nevermind! ;D Happy happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! *I hope it's not too late to greet ya'll!
Today, I feel like painting my nails 'green' in celebration for this Irish holiday-St. Patrick's Day. I'm not after the artsy-artsy stuff as I don't have the right materials so I just went simple by using two nail polish - a mint green and a dark green holographic polish from Born Pretty Store. Check it out below.
So since I can't show you any complex nail art tutorial that's St. Paddy's Day themed, let me just show you a few nail inspiration that I found and I'm sure you're gonna "love" to try! I call these -- Nailspirations! (Nail Inspiration) LOL

I am starting to think we should dump all 3 and set out to find a real PG who can actually run the team. I would be open to keeping Bynum as a backup though. I dont know about Knight - I am just not seeing it. And all I can say about Stuckey is he only has this year and next left on his contract. I don't know if the guy has mental issues or what - get him off the team. Anyway, it was a very good game overall. At least our frontcourt is starting to click.
Given the struggles that Bynum is having while paired with Stuckey, and the struggles that Knight had when paired with Stuckey, is it unreasonable to think that the reason the starting unit got more effective with the addition of Singler had less to do with Kyle's play and more to do with the loss of Stuckey?
I agree with this to an extent. I look at Stuckey as an addition by subtraction player this year. I still think that Kyle does good things when he's in there though and he helps the offense. It sounds cliche but what Singler does doesn't show up on a stat sheet. He might be the only Piston that keeps the ball moving on the offensive end. That probably leads to a few more FGs for someone during the course of a game.
Hasn't Bynum been suggesting that Stuckey should go back to starting? It's like he wants him away from him.
Stuckey and Singler are quite opposite and I totally agree that Singler even though he is a rookie and makes his share of mistakes, he does keep the ball moving unlike Tay and Stuckey whome seem to slow and drag the offence to a halt. Singler has shown the ability to Take and hit the open jumper ( Tay barely ever takes the open jumper,and Stuck rarely ever makes it)I am hopeful that we can sort out the pg / sg mess and eventually get Singler over to the 3
Bynum just doesn't need another dribbler on the floor with him. No matter who is guarding him, he's able to get into the lane. Bynum L. Frank Kander Abdenour Drummond would even hold their own.
Since having his career best game on 9-11 shooting, Daye has 14 points on 11 shots in 5 games. We need to get him some attempts if he's going to be on the floor.
This is why Frank needs to go. He's tinkered with every part of that vaunted 2nd unit except Drummond's PT. These guys play better when they're loose and not afraid to make mistakes.
What other team would be so worried about their second unit? Shouldnt we be more concerned with our starters? Only our coach will continue to cycle the same players through the same positions and hope they do better the 3rd or 4th time....why not try a different piece?
Max, I think your opinion is a legitimate one. I would modify it a bit saying, whether or not knight pans out, the Pistons need to go after a point guard for next year. It is too risky to the team and the organization to bet the progress of the team (so heavily influenced by the point guard these days) solely on Knight's development.
I'm not going to keep going in to bat for Knight, but I will do this one more time at least. In this game it was his energy that really got us going and kept us out in front. It was his active defence on Rondo that made him purely a passing threat instead of scoring too and helped get him into foul trouble. Sure, it's not great when Rondo is passing well, but you can hardly blame Knight for an assist if one of his team mates misses an assignment and their player scores. Knight has another season on his rookie contract yes? Watch him in the lineup with Drummond and Monroe with another outside shooter (Singler) next season and I am pretty sure all this discussion on him will fall by the wayside. As for Stuckey.... I have been relatively happy to keep him on for a long time as we had no other identity to run with, but I think it is clear he does not fit anywhere in our system now. He either needs to be a lock down defender and/or a knock down shooter to spread the floor. He is neither and he should be trade bait if we could somehow justify his salary. I would LOVE to see English get an extended run at his minutes, but unfortunately I don't see this happening unless we are mathematically out of playoffs. And even then Stuckey may get extended minutes to try and increase his trade value, because as much as people believe Dumars has his favourite, he would see the ill fit of Stuckey and he wouldn't stand on principle at risk of his job. BoT, Gordon and now HotP are/were not non-traders because of principle - they are/were non-traders because of no trade value.

Teaching Dossiers
A Teaching Dossier is a document intended to facilitate the presentation of a faculty member's teaching achievements and major strengths for self-assessment and interpretation by others.
Rene Day, Faculty of Nursing; Paul Robberecht, Department of Modern Languages and Comparative Studies; and Bente Roed, University Awards Office
Activity: Creating a Teaching Dossier
Learning outcomes
- Identify the purpose and major components of a teaching dossier.
- Compare and contrast teaching philosophy statements to determine how you would like to approach your teaching philosophy.
- Create an outline for a teaching dossier.
- Compare and contrast sample dossiers to determine what you would like to include in your dossier.
Icebreaker: Why dossiers?
In groups, discuss why you want to create a teaching dossier. What is its purpose?
Activity 1: Teaching Philosophy Statement
The cornerstone of your teaching dossier is your teaching philosophy statement. It reveals your perspective of teaching and learning. In other words, it reveals your values and beliefs about teaching and learning.
- In small groups, review the examples of teaching philosophies on your table. After skimming several philosophies, each group will choose one to analyze. Answer the following questions. From the perspective of the individual writing the teaching philosophy:
- What is the purpose of higher education?
- What is the role of the university instructor?
- What is the role of the university student?
- Discuss the following questions in small groups:
- Did you find a response for all 3 questions?
- What did you find particularly effective, confusing, surprising?
- What aspects resonated with your own beliefs and values?
Some people find it helpful to read and consider other philosophies before creating their own. As you can see, philosophies are as individual as we are; however, we do suggest that you focus on the questions in #1 as a guide for your own.
Activity 2: Other Components of a Teaching Dossier
Once you have developed your teaching philosophy statement, you should be able to extract several teaching goals from the statement. For example, one of your goals might be to encourage students to become independent critical thinkers. If this is the case, what evidence can you provide that this is happening in your course? That is, what types of instructional strategies, assessment methods, or other teaching techniques do you use to support that goal?
- Think about one of your teaching goals. What evidence can you provide that you are achieving this? Share your thoughts with one other person at your table.
Activity 3: Blank Dossier Guide
- Look over the various categories of the Teaching Dossier Form. This form will provide you with a framework and a way to organize your supplementary material for the dossier. For more details on each category, see the document "Teaching Dossier: A Guide." What questions do you have about creating your own dossier?
- When you have time view the sample teaching dossiers.
Teaching Philosophy Examples
- Renate Kahlke (Faculty of Education)
- Kent Rondeau (School of Public Health)
- Tram Truong Anh Nguyen (Faculty of Arts)
Portfolio Examples
- Tisdell, E. J. & Taylor, E. W. (2000). Adult education philosophy informs practice. Adult Learning, 11(2), 6-10

Nuttall's corruption trial fast tracked
PUBLISHED: 25 Jun 2010 10:45:43 | UPDATED: 25 Jun 2010 10:45:43PRINT EDITION: 25 Jun 2010
Former Queensland government minister Gordon Nuttall will face trial on fresh corruption charges in September.
Nuttall is facing five counts of corruptly receiving payments totalling $152,700 from Queensland businessman Brendan McKennariey between December 10, 2001, and April 1, 2006.
It's alleged Nuttall received payments from Mr McKennariey when the businessman was receiving funds, as a subcontractor, from two projects being undertaken with the state government.
Nuttall is already serving a seven-year jail term for corruptly receiving payments from late mining magnate Ken Talbot and another businessman.
On Friday, the Brisbane District Court was told that due to Mr Talbot's death in a plane crash in Africa earlier this month, the mining magnate's six-week trial, scheduled to begin on August 30, would be delisted and that period would become available.
Prosecutor Ross Martin SC said Mr Talbot's trial and Nuttall's trial had common witnesses and it would be "convenient" to bring forward Nuttall's hearing date.
Judge Leanne Clare agreed, scheduling the two-week trial for September 27.

so, i'm looking at Thresh, and what I see is practically the same/similar features, which is armor surrounding glowing ectoplasmic matter. In that case, I believe it is safe to assume that Hecarim is of similar background to Thresh in that he is also the spirit of some long dead evil guy. What are your thoughts on this?
I wouldn't know. Thresh's lore is too weak to tell.
Feo Leche
no.... really?
Thresh's lore isn't that weak really. I enjoyed it. As to your question, all signs point to yes. Being another champion of the Shadow Isles, it is almost a certainty that they somehow know eachother. The only question is what their intentions are. You'll note that a lot of emphasis has been placed upon the Shadow Isles lately. There's a storm a brewing, and I'll bet my shoes it's going to be coming to a head "soon".
Yea i definitely see how the art could be connecting Hecarim and Thresh together. I also thought it interesting about how it says that Thresh is a jailer. I feel like he may have something to do with the two imprisoned spirits within the altars of twisted treeline. Perhaps he needs greater souls in order to free them, or maybe they are the greater souls he is after...
In the pecking order of the Shadow Isles, Thresh seems rather low Hecarim might be like "wtf u doin here son?"

Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone may be able to advise me as Im not any kind of car expert unfortunatly, I dont have anybody else who knows about cars to ask. my 2005 fiesta flame started to stutter on acceleration today! I have read through a few old posts here, and I understand it could be a range of problems. one guy said he changed the plugs and coil and something else and it sorted his problem. He bought these items hiself. money is very tight at the moment, but I need my car to travel to work everyday, im worried if I take it to a garage, ill be charged extortionate amounts to get the problem fixed. What im wondering is, how easy it is to do the filter and plugs myself, for someone who doesnt know anything, (or have any tools)? I would be willing to learn, or read how to do it etc? or does anybody know how much a garage may charge me? any advice would be fantastic
Thankyou, Maryanne

Battue: The subliminal fears
11/06/12 || Habakuk
Man, it's been a while since I last wrote a review. You probably didn't notice, but these lines end a couple of weeks of reality-related hiatus for me. Good for Battue, for they produced one of these label-sent bands albums that might have been stubbed off our pile – but I now feel like getting into the real writing again, and actually they warrant the full treatment.
Let's do a quick check-up on the facts: They have a shit name, they are German, this is their first album on a label (second one in total) and they play death-/thrash.
Like what, a million other bands? Exactly. Please refer to the stubs section for more info. Now on to the interesting part – what sets these guys apart?
As a cynic might argue: the fact alone that something does – but who would think such a dastardly thought. For an aspiring band, these guys have a truly great, punchy production that still retains some natural grounding and shines light on the album's inherent songwriting qualities: While not reinventing the wheel, "The subliminal fears" is a mostly fast, unrelenting affair into which some truly bad-ass, slightly dissonant melodies (a bit too gritty to be called "Gothenburg style") have been woven. Those pop up occasionally, providing the album with the much needed structure, something which even a lot of bigger bands don't manage in this style niche. As lies in the nature of such an approach though, the "downside" is that a few songs stick out more than others. Note the quotation marks – this is really nothing to complain about, as the only outliers are found above the qualitative mean. Just listen to "Annihilation Anthem" with its great groove/melody verse riff to find out what I mean.
Still, the less than top-tier songs cannot completely avoid creating a bit of a blur – yet at least the tight, from-thrash-to-blast drumming and guitar work ensure there is enough to get your head banging, even if you don't remember every single bit of it. Looking at the grand scheme of things, these guys have created a solid base to work off with their future endeavors, and at times even show that they have what it takes to become a force to be reckoned with. Very listenable and worth a bit of your attention.

Caymus Special Selection is the flagship wine of the Wagner family and is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage. This wine is not produced in difficult years. Caymus Napa Valley is more representative of a standard Cabernet of Napa Valley, as it is a bit less precocious than the Special Selection, but still delivers big. Caymus prides itself on producing wines that are as approachable in youth as well at maturity. Both the "Napa Valley" and "Special Selection" Cabernets are produced under the winemaking hand of Chuck Wagner.
Charlie Wagner II is the winemaker and directs vineyard operations at Mer Soleil
These lot numbers are printed on the bottles of Tangley Oaks wines, and are a testament to the true expression of the grape varietal, the vintage and the appellation. In short, they indicate the wine is the very best of the vintage. During the winemaking process, Tangley Oaks winemakers follow all the time-honored methods until they reach a critical point. This is when the Tangley Oaks winemakers must select the lots — representing the absolute best parcels from the vineyards that are worthy of bottling.
Each member of the Tangley Oaks winemaking team tastes through each lot, carefully assessing the fruit, balance and tannins. This process is repeated for every varietal. Only when the winemaking team fully agrees on the one lot that best represents the varietal, appellation and vintage is the lot number chosen. This is the only way to select the best quality wines for the most discriminating palates.
Today, Stonestreet wines are undergoing a transformation, using fruit from Alexander Mountain Estate and new winemaking techniques. Alexander Mountain Estate, with lean, well-draining soils and cooler temperature, produces fruit with smaller berries and more intense color and flavor. Stonestreet is dedicated to fulfilling the promise of Alexander Valley's exceptional and distinctive vineyards. Traditional, Old World methods of hand harvesting, small barrel lot production, native yeast fermentation and bottling each wine unfiltered brings out the best in specific grape varieties and provides the quality framework for each Stonestreet wine.
Today, Conn Creek sources fruit from prized vineyards in nearly all of Napa Valley's 15 renowned sub-appellations to provide winemaker Mike McGrath with an unparalleled palette from which to blend each wine. It's an approach that captures the "Best of Napa Valley."
The "conundrum", or puzzle, of this wine is in guessing which grapes make up the blend; a combination that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Semillon and Viognier. Conundrum is a true California wine, with grapes sourced from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Winemaker Jon Bolta began to craft the style for Conundrum in 1988.
The twist cap closure protects the fine aromas and flavors of this distinctive blend, allowing the bottle to be easily re-closed and refrigerated. The airtight cap also eliminates the possibility of cork taint.
Conundrum is owned by the Wagner family of Caymus Vineyards, but stands on its own as a separate brand. The Conundrum winery in Monterey County is close to the sources for most of the grape varietals that make up the wine.
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot
Faust is the epitome of the style that has made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon world renowned: bold and powerful, yet elegant and concentrated. Top Cabernet Sauvignon lots are selected from vineyards Agustin Huneeus owns in Rutherford, a Napa Valley appellation synonymous with the best of Napa Valley Cabernet, as well as the up and coming, soon to be named Tulocay viticultural area south of Atlas Peak.
Both vineyards are carefully tended to produce low yields and great concentration. The grapes are double sorted and crushed at Quintessa, one of the Napa Valley's most technologically sophisticated wineries, featuring gravity-flow design, oak fermentation and naturally cooled caves.

Beer Roundup
2 Comments Published February 24th, 2009 in Bama Blogging, History, Legalities, Mmmm...Beer!It's been awhile since I blogged about delicious beer on this here blog, so here you go:
Above image from Neat-o-Rama's fun facts about beer. I guess you just punch a hole in the bag and chug. Also, St. Arnold is the patron saint of brewing–good to know. (Link via BunBun)
Good news on the Free the Hops front–the Gourmet Beer Bill has passed out of state House and Senate committees. Bad news: the Senate is still up to its old hijinx.
Reason has a great piece up on the highly beneficial results of of legalizing home brewing in the 1970s. Here's a taste of the cleverly headlined "Draft Dodgers":
The American public had decided it liked its beer cheap, bland, and less filling, and the industry—which, after decades of consolidation, consisted of a mere 44 breweries in 1979—was happy to oblige. Consumers with a thirst for something tastier, or at least different, had few options. Things were so bad, in fact, that Coors, distributed in just 11 Western states, was considered such a rare delicacy in other parts of the country that bootlegged cases went for three times their retail price in New Jersey and Tennessee. Was it any wonder that the nation was feeling weak and watered down?
Then Jimmy Carter took pity on our wretched souls. In 1978 he signed Senate Amendment 3534, a portion of which gave each household permission to produce up to 200 gallons of tax-exempt beer each year. (Alabama has a thing or two to learn from that crazy peanut farmer.)
Three decades later, the U.S. boasts 1,463 breweries, including 975 brewpubs.
The prolific and always-interesting Maureen Ogle pointed me to this interview with economist Ken Elzinga, who studies the brewing industry among other things. Here's a sample:
Do you believe there is an opportunity for consolidation of microbrewery brands? While it has certainly occurred on a more minor scale (Independent Brewers United/Magic Hat example), do you anticipate it happening more extensively, or does consolidation undermine the competitive advantage that micros have (local focus, diverse and unique product offerings, etc)?
Yes, that's starting to happen. Magic Hat would be the best example where you actually have a consolidation of brands that are not geographically contiguous to one another. Now how much money those guys are making, I do not know.
But I find that interesting and I suspect there will be more of that. So far the ties between craft brewers have been just through their trade association. And that's been terribly important because it's been a real trade association of networking, of camaraderie.
The ultimate home-brewing fridge. (Via Danner)
All those who love beer should be alarmed at what's going on in Oregon. The Beaver State, a microbrewing pioneer, is threatening to raise its beer tax by about 1900%—that is not a misprint. Some Oregonians are planning a little revolt a la the Boston Tea Party and, appropriately, are gathering at the Green Dragon in Portland Thursday evening.

Everest-Lhotse, 1956
In 1956 the Swiss performed the remarkable feat of getting two ropes up Everest and one up Lhotse, using oxygen. Members of the expedition were A. Eggler (leader), W. Diehl, H. Grimm, H.R. von Gunten, E. Leuthold, F. Luchsinger, J. Marmet, F. Müller, Reiss, A. Reist, and E. Schmied. They followed roughly the British route up the icefall and the Lhotse face. From their Camp VI Reiss and Luchsinger reached the summit of Lhotse on May 18. Camp VI was moved to the South Col, and the summit of Everest was reached from a camp at 27,500 feet (8,380 metres) by Marmet and Schmied (May 23) and Gunten and Reist (May 24).
Attempts of 1960
In 1960 an Indian expedition with Sherpas, led by Brigadier Gyan Singh, attempted to scale Everest from the south. Camp IV was established in the Western Cwm on April 19. Bad weather followed, but a party using oxygen reached the South Col on May 9. On May 24 three members pitched a tent at 27,000 feet (8,230 metres) on the Southeast Ridge but were turned back by wind and weather at about 28,300 feet (8,625 metres). Continued bad weather prevented the second summit party's leaving the South Col.
Also that spring it was reported that a Chinese expedition led by Shi Zhanzhun climbed Everest from the north. By their account they reached the North Col in April, and on May 24 Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, Liu Lianman, and a Tibetan mountaineer, Konbu, climbed the slab by a human ladder, reaching the top at 4:20 am to place the Chinese flag and a bust of Mao Zedong. The credibility of their account was doubted at the time but later was generally accepted (see below The north approach).
The U.S. ascent of 1963
The first American expedition to Everest was led by the Swiss climber Norman Dyhrenfurth, who selected a team of 19 mountaineers and scientists from throughout the United States and 37 Sherpas. The purpose was twofold: to reach the summit and to carry out scientific research programs in physiology, psychology, glaciology, and meteorology. Of particular interest were the studies on how the climbers changed physiologically and psychologically under extreme stresses at high altitudes where oxygen deprivation was unavoidable. These studies were related to the U.S. space program, and among the 400 sponsors of the expedition were the National Geographic Society, the U.S. State Department, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the U.S. Air Force.
On February 20 the expedition left Kathmandu, Nepal, for Everest, 180 miles (290 km) away. More than 900 porters carried some 26 tons of food, clothing, equipment, and scientific instruments. Base Camp was established at 17,800 feet (5,425 metres) on Khumbu Glacier on March 20, one month earlier than on any previous expedition. For the next five weeks the team selected a route toward the summit and established and stocked a series of camps up the mountain via the traditional South Col route. They also explored the more difficult and untried West Ridge route. On May 1 James W. Whittaker and Nawang Gombu Sherpa, nephew of Tenzing Norgay, reached the summit despite high winds. On May 22 four other Americans reached the top. Two of them, William F. Unsoeld and Thomas F. Hornbein, made mountaineering history by ascending the West Ridge, which until then had been considered unclimbable. They descended the traditional way, along the Southeast Ridge toward the South Col, thus also accomplishing the first major mountain traverse in the Himalayas. On the descent, Unsoeld and Hornbein, along with Barry C. Bishop and Luther G. Jerstad (who had also reached the summit that day via the South Col), were forced to bivouac in the open at 28,000 feet (8,535 metres). All suffered frostbite, and Bishop and Unsoeld later lost their toes; the two had to be carried out of Base Camp on the backs of Sherpas. On July 8 Dyhrenfurth and all members of the expedition were presented the National Geographic Society's Hubbard Medal by President John F. Kennedy.
The Indian ascent of 1965
In 1965 a 21-man Indian expedition, led by Lieutenant Commander M.S. Kohli, succeeded in putting nine men on the summit of Everest. India thus became the fourth country to scale the world's highest mountain. One of the group, Nawang Gombu, became the first person ever to climb Mount Everest twice, having first accomplished the feat on the U.S. expedition.
Developments since 1965
The 1970s
The Southwest Face
From 1966 to 1969 the government of Nepal banned mountaineers from climbing in the Nepalese Himalayas. When the ranges were reopened in 1969, the world's top mountaineers—following the American example of 1963—set their eyes on new routes to Everest's summit. With Tibet still closed and only the southern approach available, the obvious challenge was the huge Southwest Face rising from the Western Cwm. The crux of the problem was the Rock Band—a vertical cliff 2,000 feet (600 metres) high starting at about 26,250 feet (8,000 metres). A Japanese reconnaissance expedition reached the foot of the Rock Band in the autumn of 1969 and returned in spring 1970 for a full-scale attempt led by Matsukata Saburō. Failing to make further progress on the Southwest Face, the expedition switched to the easier South Col route, getting the first Japanese climbers, including the renowned Japanese explorer Uemura Naomi, to the summit.
Expeditions continued to lay "siege" to the Southwest Face. The most publicized of these climbs was the 1971 International Expedition led by Norman Dyhrenfurth; however, internationalist ideals were savaged by the stresses of high altitude, and the expedition degenerated into rancour between the British and non-British climbers. In the spring of 1972 a European expedition led by the German Karl Herrligkoffer was equally inharmonious.
The battle for the Southwest Face continued in a predictable pattern: large teams, supported by Sherpas acting as high-altitude porters, established a succession of camps in the broad, snow-covered couloir leading to the foot of the intractable Rock Band. Success finally came in the autumn of 1975 to a British expedition led by Chris (later Sir Chris) Bonington, who got the full team and its meticulously prepared equipment to Base Camp by the end of August and made the most of the mainly calm weather during the September time window.
Climbing equipment had changed significantly since 1953. In the mid-1970s rigid box-shaped tents were bolted to aluminum alloy platforms dug into the 45° slope. Smooth-sheathed nylon ropes were affixed to the rock face to make a continuous safety line, which climbers could ascend and descend very efficiently. The 1975 expedition was a smooth operation that utilized a team of 33 Sherpas and was directed by some of the world's best mountaineers. Unlike previous expeditions, this team explored a deep gully cutting through the left side of the Rock Band, with Paul Braithwaite and Nick Estcourt breaking through to establish Camp VI at about 27,000 feet (8,230 metres). From there Doug Scott and Dougal Haston made a long, bold traverse rightward, eventually gaining the South Summit and continuing over the Hillary Step to the Everest summit, which they reached at 6:00 pm. Rather than risk descending in the dark, they bivouacked in a snow cave close to the South Summit—at 28,750 feet (8,750 metres), this was the highest bivouac in climbing history until Babu Chiri Sherpa bivouacked on the summit itself in 1999. Their oxygen tanks were empty, and they had neither tent nor sleeping bags, but both men survived the ordeal unharmed and returned safely to Camp VI in the morning. Two days later Peter Boardman and Pertemba Sherpa reached the summit, followed by Mick Burke heading for the top in deteriorating weather. Burke never returned; he is presumed to have fallen to his death in the whiteout conditions.

Lucy Hale's First #ARAllAccess RAGGED Blog Post
Recording an album is incredibly satisfying, intense, inspiring and surreal! Music has always been a beautiful part of my life. Melodies and lyrics that have lived only in my heart and mind are now given voice and that's such a dream come true.
I've been blessed to have been able to collaborate with some super amazing and talented people on this album. That made the process of putting this album together that much more special. Knowing that I was going into the studio every day and night to work with such renowned writers and producers kept the bar raised. I knew I had to bring my best every moment and I believe it's reflected in each and every song on this album.
I couldn't have imagined what creating an album from start to finish entailed until I lived through the process. I can only say that this has been the time of my life!

Dave Attell
- Attell's first appearance on television was in 1988 on VH1's Stand-Up Spotlight, which also featured early appearances by Lewis Black, Margaret Cho, Jeff Garlin, Jay Mohr and Wanda Sykes. The show was hosted by Rosie O'Donnell.
- But perhaps his biggest break to date was achieved on November 23, 1993 when he made his debut on The Late Show with David Letterman. The appearance was seen by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, who then recruited Attell to be a writer, and occasional performer, on SNL (you can see Attell behind Chris Farley during the famous "Rudy Giuliani Inauguration" sketch). Attell worked on the show for the '93-'94 season.
- In 1995 Attell was featured on two HBO specials: alongside up-and-comers Louis C.K., Anthony Clark, Eric Tunney and Dave Chappelle, he was a featured performer on the 1995 Young Comedians Special, hosted by Garry Shandling. He was also given his own 60-minute special on the channel's "HBO Comedy Showcase". Subsequently, Attell was also given an episode of HBO Comedy Half-Hour in 1997.
- Also in 1995, Attell appeared as Squiggly Dave on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, kicking-off a long-standing relationship between Attell and Comedy Central. In 1999 the network issued Attell an installment in their ever-popular Comedy Central Presents series.
- The same year the network signed him on as a regular commentator on their satirical news show The Daily Show. When he arrived in 1999, the show was just finding its audience after the departure of host Craig Kilborn and the arrival of Jon Stewart, an old friend of Attell's from the New York comedy circuit. The three-year stint gave Attell access to a mass audience on a regular basis (The Daily Show has done much the same for comedians Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Lewis Black and others). Attell's series of commentary on the show was called "The Ugly American".

A woman talks on the phone after she walked out of a building on M Street, SE near the Washington Navy Yard on September 16, 2013 in Washington, DC. At least one unidentified gunman opened fire at the US Navy Yard in Washington on Monday and was at large after killing "multiple" victims and wounding several more, officials said. Police and FBI agents descended on the area in force as helicopters swarmed overhead, amid reports a shooter was armed with an assault rifle and was holed up at the complex. "We believe there were multiple deaths," a US defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP. The precise death toll remained unclear, the official said. A Washington DC police officer and another law enforcement officer had been shot while the gunman had allegedly barricaded himself in a room in a headquarters building, media reported.
