A 58-year-old businessman and founder of an Adams County software company was arrested Friday on murder charges in a bizarre office shooting at the end of the year that left him injured and another man dead.
Adams County District Attorney Don Quick filed charges against William Rex Fowler in the shooting death of 42-year-old Thomas Ciancio, his former business partner at Fowler Software Design.
Investigators say Fowler shot Ciancio three times in the head with a 9mm Glock handgun when Ciancio came to Fowler Software Design to collect $9,900 in severance pay.
Police had originally thought Ciancio was the gunman but later described him as a victim.
- Read the affidavit related to the case. (PDF, 11 pages)
Ciancio, who was Fowler Software's chief operating officer, resigned Nov. 23 in a dispute over the way the company was being managed.
On Dec. 29, Ciancio agreed to a settlement and to sign a waiver of release in exchange for the payment, company chief executive Laura Zaspel told investigators, according to a court document supporting the filing of charges.
Employees of the software company told investigators Ciancio had blamed Fowler for the company's recent financial difficulties.
The employees said Fowler had taken about $200,000 of the company's money without asking and gave it to a church or charity, according to the arrest affidavit.
Ciancio had "become very frustrated with William Fowler," according to the arrest affidavit.
Ciancio arrived at 10 a.m. Dec. 30 to collect his check. He chatted with employees, asked about their holidays and was preparing to attend his son's birthday party later that day.
Ciancio asked to speak to Ubaldo Ciminieri, the company's vice president of sales and marketing, but he had stepped away from his desk. Ciancio then went to Fowler's office.
Two minutes later, according to the affidavit, employees heard gunshots. Police were called by another tenant in the Elati Building, near West 84th Avenue and Elati Street in unincorporated Adams County.
When deputies arrived, they saw Fowler making his way through the front door, bleeding from the head. Investigators said he took one step past the threshold, then went back in. Police rushed into the building, escorted Fowler back out and called for an ambulance.
When Fowler tried to speak to deputies, blood poured from his mouth. They asked if Ciancio was still in the building, and he shook his head up and down to say "yes." They asked if Ciancio shot him and Fowler did not respond, investigators said.
Fowler was taken to Denver Health Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for a wound from the bottom of his chin through the top of his head. During the surgery, police said, Fowler's hands were bagged to protect evidence of gunshot residue, which was later collected by investigators.
Inside Fowler's office, police found Ciancio's body. They said he appeared to have been sitting at a table when he was shot. They also found what they believe is the murder weapon and four 9mm Luger shell casings. They found a handgun magazine on the table and another in a closet in the office.
Investigators say the gun was registered to Alexander Hyung Fowler, 26, who lived at 1413 L. Ron Hubbard Way in Los Angeles when it was purchased. In interviews with police, Alexander Fowler said he gave the gun to his father for Christmas in 2007.
Police also found a briefcase and a typed note, dated Dec. 30 and signed by Fowler. The note said nothing confidential was in the satchel and that it should be given to his wife, Janet.
When Janet Fowler was interviewed by detectives, she demanded the briefcase.
"It is important to me and my church. It is religious material and I want it now," she said to investigators. "Even if you looked at it, and read it, you would not understand anything in it. Because it is way above a normal person and you would not know what it meant. I want it back right now."
Janet Fowler also reportedly told investigators that her husband "is a Scientologist and would not have gone without a fight. He would have grabbed a gun in a struggle and would not have let someone shoot him."
She also told investigators that Ciancio had sent e-mails to Rex Fowler, threatening to hire an attorney and sue over money he said was owed him.
Adams County officials said Fowler is in custody but would not say where he is being held. He was last known to be at Denver Health Medical Center, but his name no longer appears on patient rosters.
No court date has been set for Fowler.
Ciancio's family members said they did not want to comment on the case. Calls to Fowler's Broomfield home and to the Church of Scientology were not returned Friday.
Several websites that scrutinize Scientology have been following this case, with links to records that allegedly reveal Fowler was a senior Scientologist. The sites claim that Fowler Software was a member of the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises.
According to the arrest affidavit, Ciancio's brother gave investigators four binders of Scientology materials that Fowler had given to Ciancio, asking him to study the religion.
Ciancio was raised a Roman Catholic, his family said, and had attended New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock.

A new methodology has been devised for the optimisation of material parameters in equations that govern the tertiary creep deformation of single crystal superalloys. Such information is ordinarily extracted by conducting a series of mechanical experiments over a range of appropriate environmental conditions, e.g. at various fixed stresses and temperatures. However, the current technique allows material behaviour to be characterised from a limited number of tests of short duration performed under non-uniform stress. A strategy is presented in which the time dependent strain response under a distributed stress gradient is measured using a novel testpiece geometry incorporating a concave gauge length profile. Spatial strain distribution is determined by accurate post-deformation measurement of specimen shape. Both spatial and temporal deformation are then simulated using a well founded mechanistic damage model, and the agreement between model results and experimental data is optimised by systematic perturbation of model parameters using the Nelder-Mead direct search method, i.e. an inverse modelling approach is applied. The overall strategy has been successfully, validated for SRR99 by direct comparison with a database of more conventional tensile creep data, but it has the potential for broad application in cost effective and efficient prototyping of new materials generally.

Vaia Villa's houses and apartments are surrounded with flowers, herbs, and natural beauty, and located in a peaceful, clean area with private parking. With a coffee or beer on the shaded front porches, you will enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset, the beautiful reds and purples colouring the cliffs on the opposite side of the bay. Fresh air and sea breezes, and perhaps a walk in the hills, will awaken your appetite for a dinner of fresh fish and locally grown vegetables at one of the village tavernas. Some of the best fish in Greece is caught by local fishermen. If you are an early riser, you may even see your dinner arriving! Several beaches, some pebble and some sand, offer places to swim or relax near the village. Special celebrations take place in the village at Easter time and you are welcome to join in. The people are very friendly and the village offers much hospitality all year round. In the fall, olives and grapes are harvested and oil and raki (the local spirit) is made.
Mochlos is a small fishing village with several taverns and several small shops. Remains of a Bronze age town are visible on the island opposite the town. In the sea near the village, fish tanks dating to the Roman era are visible. During the summer months, archaeologists conduct an excavation on the island, providing more information on the local history, which goes back almost continuously for over 4000 years! Special celebrations are held at Easter and you are welcome to participate. Olives and grapes are harvested in the fall, and then the production of oil and raki, the locally manufactured liquor, begins. Be sure to sample the oil, the raki, and don't forget the local red wine!

Russia's second-largest oil company Yukos looks set to step up its investment in the oil processing and transportation infrastructure of the Baltic states, while archrival Lukoil is concentrating on the new St Petersburg oil terminal and the post-Soviet markets further south. The two strategies allow the companies to avoid head-on competition with each other.
Rapid network expansion and upstream muscle are the unstoppable forces pushing Lukoil to the fore of fuel retailing in central and eastern Europe (CEE). The firm is the key mover in the region, expanding its site presence by a remarkable 180% over the past three years. But selling petrol is not simply a numbers game: Lukoil is also successfully incorporating a strong shop proposition.
PKN Orlen has begun outlining its retail intentions for the Baltic region as it moves closer to the official acquisition of Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu Nafta. While this deal gives PKN access to much-needed upstream assets, its lack of retail presence means it will have a lot of work do to if it intends to grow organically in markets where the likes of Lukoil and Statoil are firmly established.
Russian fuel retailer Lukoil has announced an eight-year plan to increase its focus on shop sales at its service stations, while its Baltic subsidiary has launched a new loyalty program. Both events serve to demonstrate Lukoil's new customer-centric aspirations, and suggest that we may see these aspirations being fulfilled in a rather innovative way.

Extraordinary form Mass at high altar of St. Peter's Basilica
Catholic World News - May 16, 2011
For the first time in over four decades, a solemn Pontifical Mass in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite has been offered at the Altar of the Chair of St. Peter's Basilica. Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, who served as President of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences from 1998 to 2009, was the celebrant at the May 15 Mass, taking the place of Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera, who had been scheduled to attend.

I never thought I would see the day when the holy Mass according to the Extraordinary Rite would be celebrated at St. Peter's Basilica after so many years of oblivium.

There is no "high altar" in St. Peter's Basilica in the sense that most people understand. In fact, the Clementine Altar under the Baldacchino allows the Holy Father to celebrate Mass "ad orientem" since it's facing east.

Antonia Caenis, a former slave and secretary of Antonia Minor (mother of the emperor Claudius), was the mistress of the Roman emperor Vespasian. It is believed that she was born in Istria, now in Croatia, based on a trip she took there on her own Cassius Dio 66.14. In her 30s Caenis, still possibly a slave, was in an unofficial relationship known as contubernium, with Vespasian before his marriage. According to Suetonius, after the death of Vespasian's wife Flavia Domitilla, Vespasian and Caenis, now a freedwoman, resumed their relationship; she was his wife "in all but name" until her death in AD 74. She had a remarkable memory and considerable influence on the emperor's administration, carried out official business on his behalf, and apparently made a lot of money from her position. However, she was treated with disrespect by Vespasian's son Domitian, who refused to greet her as one of the family Cassius Dio 66.14 .
Popular culture[edit]
The life of Caenis and her love-story with Vespasian is portrayed in Lindsey Davis' novel The Course of Honour. She is also a character that features regularly in Robert Fabbri's Vespasian series, where she is depicted as being the long lost grand-niece of the king of the Caenii, a rebelling tribe in Thracia.

This course is a gateway to learning software version control (SVC), process management, and collaboration techniques. Author Michael Lehman reviews the history of version control and demonstrates the fundamental concepts: check-in/checkout, forking, merging, commits, and distribution. The choice of an SVC system is critical to effectively managing and versioning the assets in a software development project (from source code, images, and compiled binaries to installation packages), so the course also surveys the solutions available. Michael examines Git, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, and Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) in particular, describing the appropriate use, features, benefits, and optimal group size for each one.
Okay, we've got a Git repository inside of our directory g1 here. Before we start adding things, let's set two git configuration items which will help us make sure that all of our changes are marked with our name and our email. So we say git config user.name and git config user.email. No, that's not my actual email. And now we can put in some code.
The content we're going to use is from the new project's haiku error message page. We're going to pick one that's happened to all of us before we started using Version Control. I'm going to create f1.c and main print f. With searching comes loss, and the presence of absence. "\My Novel\" not found.\n".
Now of course, this isn't going to ever happen to you again now that you started to use Version Control, but you know how that feels. So we'll save the file, and we'll exit. Now we'll add that to the repository in two steps. First, we have to tell Git to start tracking that file by saying git add f1.c, and we ask Git the status of our working set. It says there is a new file ready to be checked in. So now we'll add it to the repository, git commit, and you can see it created one file.
If we ask Git for the status, it says there is nothing new to commit. And if we ask Git for the log, you can see we have a message here that says there is our Initial check in commit message and three additional lines of information which we're going to look at here. The first line is the commit ID, or essentially changeset identifier. That's a 40-digit-long hexadecimal number, which is a GUID, or a Global Unique Identifier. Now, for most usage inside Git, you'll only need to type the first four or five characters of that GUID, so don't get scared by the fact that it's going to be starting to ask you to type in 40 digit numbers.
But you have to type in at least as much of that in order to be able to uniquely identify a changeset as necessary. So especially on your own system, it's probably four digits. When you start working with more people, it's probably five or six at the most. So now let's make a change so we can see Git's versioning in action. We'll once again open up f1.c, and we're going to change My Novel to Website, maybe a more appropriate message for the internet age. And now we're going to check it in again, but this time we're going to use an editor feature that's built into Git in order to do our commit message.
So we're going to say git commit -a, and Git opens up in this case, Vim, a editor that allows you to put in your commit message. So we're going to say Changed my novel to website, and since this is Vim, it understands all those wonderful VI commands that you might know and love. In this case, what I do is I hit the Escape key and then I type :wq to Save it and Quit, and now it does the commit. And if we do git log, you can see now we have two changes, both our Initial check in and Changed my novel to website.
If you just want to see the changeset IDs and the comments, you can say git log --one line --all, and now we have--you can see the first seven digits of each one of those changeset IDs and the commit message. So now let's make another change and then look at it and decide if we want to roll it back. So once again, we're going to open up f1.c, and we're going to change Website to Webpage, and we're going to Save the file. Now, if we want to see the difference between our working set and what's in the repository, we can say git diff, and you can see it shows the one line has changed from website to web page.
Now, this show the difference with all files that are currently changed in the working set. If you want to see changes just for a single file, you can say git diff and just put in the file name. Now, in our case it's going to be exactly the same, but if you had 25 files, that might generate quite a bit of output. You can also ask for the differences between the working set and a specific changeset. So if we do git log, we can see we've got our two change sets. Let's ask for the difference between our working set and not the most recent one where we changed My Novel to Website, but the initial one where initially we checked it in and where we had My Novel.
So we'll say git diff, and we're going to put in 87b53, and we'll see what happens. So now you can see the difference between that commit which we called our Initial check in and the current state of our working set. You can see our current working set in green here says Webpage and the Initial check in said My Novel. Now, your changeset IDs are going to be different than these. You'll need to run git log on your system and type in the first five digits of the actual IDs on your system, because GUIDs are partially generated by the Mac address for your Ethernet adapter in your computer and so it will be clearly different than the system on which we're recording this.
So now let's roll back to our most recent commit. So we'll say git checkout HEAD f1.c. If we type f1.c, you can see we're back to Website. You can also revert to any particular revision, not just the topmost one, by using the checkout command. So we'll say git log, and now we're going to revert back to the initial one, so we're going say git checkout 87b53 f1.c, and now if we type f1.c, you can see we're back to My Novel.
Note, none of the changes in your repository have been lost. You're just updating the working set to the one that you want. So for example, we can go back to git checkout HEAD f1.c, and we're back to Website. All right, that's the basic working flow of checking in, checking out, and reverting with Git. Let's move on to tagging and labeling with Git.

Top 8: Manly Turkey Recipes
This article is sponsored in part by Heineken (What's this?)For better or for worse, turkey is the go-to holiday protein. It's a tricky bird to get right. It dries out easily and it's so entrenched in the conventions of holiday eating that it's hard to come up with a way to serve it that isn't soul-crushingly boring. Hard -- but not impossible.
Here are eight ways to prepare a turkey that are as original as they are manly.

Second Saturday for older adults
This month's Second Saturday Art Walk in Sacramento will feature a special show for the region's older adults. "A Day of Art and Socializing" will feature works by renowned Bay Area and local artists who are also on the plus side of 50. The event, sponsored by a Sacramento State gerontology class project, will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Ethel MacLeod Hart Multipurpose Senior Center at 915 27 th St., with an artist reception from 2 to 4 p.m.
Alongside work from local artists, featured will be works by Stanley Mouse, album cover artist for bands such as the Grateful Dead and Journey, and pieces by wearable art and jewelry designers Lee Brooks and Gregory Franke of Alex & Lee Jewelry, whose collectors have included Cher and Salvador Dali.
"This event is about making friends, and getting older adults out of isolation," says Maria Cristina Falasci, a gerontology student who is planning the event. "It gives them opportunities to enjoy one another and the artists in a venue that they might feel comfortable with." She says that socialization and mental stimulation are key components of a healthy life during the aging process.
For more information or to register to participate in this free event, contact Linda Hoschler of the Ethel MacLeod Hart Multipurpose Senior Center at (916) 264-5462. For media assistance, contact the Sacramento State Public Affairs office at (916) 278-6156.

Does anyone have recommendations for a marine maintenance consultant in the Seattle area?
We're looking for someone to go over some of the repair opportunities with us and talk about our options. We would love to do as much work as possible ourselves.
Here are the areas we'd like to dig into:
-propane system check-up
-head and holding tank examination
-compass servicing
-diesel engine maintenance
-fresh water tank venting
-hot water heater repair or swap out
Just so you know, I recognize the wealth of knowledge found in all the forums. I was visiting the forum before we even had a boat! But we'd like to get someone we can trust onboard to look at our setup and talk with us face to face about our options. Your recommendations are appreciated!

Once again the Japanese runners made a shambles of the field as they convincingly swept the first four places. Japanese champion and pre-race favorite, Toru Terasawa was upset by countryman Kenji Kimihara, who came from fourth in the last two miles to grab the victory wreath in 2:17:11. Although women would not be officially recognized until 1972, Roberta Gibb (Bingay) became the first woman to run and successfully complete the race, finishing in 3:21:40.
New Zealander Dave McKenzie led a record field of 601 starters while setting a course record of 2:15:45. Dartmouth College alumnus Tom Laris finished second with the fastest American time (2:16:48) over the Boston course to date. On the women's side, Roberta Gibb finished first again (unofficial) in 3:27:17. Yet the story of the day focused on Kathrine Switzer, who obtained a number by entering as "K. Switzer." This did not settle well with the race officials and as John "Jock" Semple attempted to remove her number in mid-race, he was cut down by Switzer's burly boyfriend. Pictures of the incident were seen around the world.
Wesleyan University student Ambrose Burfoot gave American runners their first victory in 11 years as the field grew to a record 900 runners. Burfoot, coached by former winner John J. Kelley, finished in 2:22:17 in the warm 72-degree sunshine. Burfoot made his move against U.S. Marine Bill Clark over the final five miles to earn a 38-second victory. Roberta Gibb (unofficial again) was the leading female finisher in 3:30:00. A total of three women finished the race this year. This also marked the final year the race was held on a day other than Monday. The following year, Patriots' Day was designated to be celebrated on the third Monday in April.
The field topped the 1,000 mark for the first time (1,152), which led to the inclusion of qualifying standards at the following year's race. Japan once again raced to the forefront as Yoshiaki Unetani unleashed a superlative effort in taking down Dave McKenzie's course record by nearly two minutes in 2:13:49. Unetani ran alone over the final nine miles as Mexican runners Pablo Garrido (2:17:30) and Alfredo Penaloza (2:19:56) finished second and third, respectively. Three women - running unofficially - finished, led by Sara Mae Berman from Cambridge, Mass. in 3:22:46.
On a rain-soaked, 44-degree day, Englishman Ron Hill devastated Unetani's year-old mark with a stunning 2:10:30 course record. In the process, Georgetown alumnus Eamon O'Reilly lowered the American record to 2:11:22, which was also under Unetani's previous mark of 2:13:49. The entry qualifying time of four hours (or the equivalent at shorter distances) only succeeded in reducing the field to 1,011 starters. Sara Mae Berman was again the first woman winner in 3:05:07.
1920 - Ashland Start
The Boston Marathon began in Ashland, Massachusetts from 1897 through 1923 then moved to Hopkinton for the 1924 race. The course was lengthened to 26 miles, 385 yards to conform to the Olympic standard, and the starting line was moved west from Ashland to Hopkinton. Since then, the race has started in Hopkinton every year.

We should be able to use this law against the person who came up with it.
BRIGHTON, Mich. -- Since when did being annoying become a crime? Since Brighton City Council approved a public conduct code Monday night, which includes fining someone up to $500 for being annoying.
One section of the bill reads, "It shall be unlawful for a person to engage in a course of conduct or repeatedly commit acts that alarm or seriously annoy another person and that serve no legitimate purpose."
The bill also states it's unlawful for anyone to insult, accost, molest or otherwise annoy any person in public.
The ordinance was modeled after one in Royal Oak, where the Brighton police chief previously worked.
The Livingston Daily Press & Argus reported that two council members expressed concerns for the language of the ordinance, but voted for it anyway.
Brighton officials said the ordinance would be subjective and the call will be made by police officers.
The amended ordinance takes effect Jan. 17, 2009.

Product Description

Amazingly, former arch-swindler-turned-Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has somehow managed to get the woefully inefficient Ankh-Morpork Post Office running like . . . well, not like a government office at all. Now the supreme despot Lord Vetinari is asking Moist if he'd like to make some real money. Vetinari wants Moist to resuscitate the venerable Royal Mint—so that perhaps it will no longer cost considerably more than a penny to make a penny.

Moist doesn't want the job. However, a request from Ankh-Morpork's current ruling tyrant isn't a "request" per se, more like a "once-in-a-lifetime-offer-you-can-certainly-refuse-if-you-feel-you've-lived-quite-long-enough." So Moist will just have to learn to deal with elderly Royal Bank chairman Topsy (née Turvy) Lavish and her two loaded crossbows, a face-lapping Mint manager, and a chief clerk who's probably a vampire. But he'll soon be making lethal enemies as well as money, especially if he can't figure out where all the gold has gone.

West Ham United will offer the manager's job to Gianfranco Zola today, it has been revealed.
The Sun says Hammers chiefs held a board meeting last night and opted for the former Chelsea striker ahead of fellow Italian Roberto Donadoni.
Zola could be in place as the club's first foreign boss in time for Saturday's Premier League clash at West Brom.
A West Ham spokesman said: "We've had a detailed and positive discussion and expect to make an announcement very shortly."
Zola, 42, is currently joint-coach of Italy Under-21s.
He may bring his pal and ex-Chelsea team-mate Pierluigi Casiraghi with him if he agrees to take over from Alan Curbishley on a deal worth around £1.5million a year.
West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury flew to Rome on Sunday for a second round of talks with Zola, after the club finally dropped its interest in Croatia boss Slaven Bilic.

News Reporter Training Programs and Requirements
News reporters and journalists write and present stories for newspapers, television stations, magazines, online news websites and other media outlets. News reporters conduct research, edit stories for accuracy and then present news with professionalism and timeliness. News reporters are required to have a bachelor's degree in journalism and several years of experience.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
News reporters must have a high school diploma or GED certificate as well as a bachelor's degree in journalism from an accredited university. Although it is not required, news reporters typically gain experience in college by working with the college or community newspapers, radio or television stations.
Many employers prefer to hire news reporters with several years of experience. Candidates must submit news writing or video samples along with their resume. Broadcast news reporters must have excellent presentation skills in order to showcase news on television or radio stations. Reporters must be inquisitive, professional, objective and detail-oriented. Writing, editing, interviewing and organizational skills are important. Some positions may require reporters to have some video or audio production experience. Because news reporters often work under tight deadlines, they must demonstrate the ability to quickly and efficiently produce news copy.
Formal Education
A bachelor's degree in journalism or mass communication is required to be a news reporter. Within the journalism major, areas of emphasis are often available and include news editorial, broadcast journalism or photojournalism.
Bachelor of Arts in Journalism
A bachelor's degree prepares students to work as reporters and journalists for a number of media outlets. Programs teach students to conduct news research, organize information and present stories in a logical, objective and timely manner. Students learn to interview news sources and create print and digital news presentations. Typical courses include:
- Investigative reporting
- Audio and video production
- News research and interviewing skills
- News editing and design
- Public relations
- Principles of copyediting
- History of journalism
- Visual communication
- Broadcast news reporting
Job Experience
Employers typically require news reporters and journalists to have 1-5 years of news reporting experience. News reporters with little experience can obtain entry-level positions with small-market media outlets. Broadcast news reporters, who regularly appear on television, are required to have more experience than other news reporters. Most reporters gain experience through internships and work with college or community newspapers. Internships are available with newspapers, magazines, television stations and online news organizations.
Workshops and Seminars
Universities generally offer day-long workshops or seminars in broadcast journalism, photojournalism or investigative reporting. Workshops are typically held by the communications or journalism department of a university and provide students with information that might not be taught in typical journalism courses. Guest speakers may include local or regional news reporters.
The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) holds conferences and training seminars for journalists of all experience levels. Conferences are typically held in large cities and provide numerous resources for news reporters. Conferences last three days and include guest speakers, training labs, career advice seminars and other events.
Additional Professional Development
News reporters and journalists can join the Society of Professional Journalists for access to resources, continuing education and networking opportunities. The organization is more than 100 years old and has approximately 10,000 members. It offers countless resources for news reporters, including internship and fellowship opportunities, a job directory, training aids, legal advice and tools for media managers. The SJP publishes a magazine on journalism and offers several newsletters and blogs created by reporters.

The question is, how many RPMs would you push this engine at cruise or for short periods when trying to clear other traffic, etc.? I usually cruise between 2000 and 2500 RPM, but wonder if I am being too cautious. I have a service manual for the engine, but it doesn't address this question. Any advice?
Don't your documents list a Max recommended RPM? That's the number you are looking for. A Perkins dealer should have it.
I, myself, personally intend to continue being outspoken and opinionated, intolerant of all fanatics, fools and ignoramuses, deeply suspicious of all those who have "found the answer" and on my bad days, downright rude.

NOCSC development programme to resume Saturday with U-15 tourney
The New Opportunity Corps Sports Club (NOCSC) cricket developmental programme is set to continue on Saturday with a round robin U-15 25 overs tournament.
The club has managed to gain the support from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCY&S) to host the competition which will be played at the NOC ground on the Essequibo Coast. Coach Forbes Daniels told Kaieteur Sport yesterday that one team each from North and Central Essequibo, Gunners Sports Club, Affiance Sports Club and two teams from NOC will take part in the tournament. He said that the NOC teams will consist of students from the institution as well as surrounding communities.
The club's developmental programme commenced in 2013 and Daniels stated that he is satisfied with the progress of the players. "The younger players have shown improvement, they are committed and have a better understanding of game sense", he added.
He indicated that one of the club's objectives is to ensure that the players take sports and Education seriously. "We want the youths to understand the importance of Education so that they can develop into well rounded individuals", said Daniels.
The coach informed that he is please with the support from the MCY&S and sections of the business community adding that this augurs well for the growth of the sport in the area.
Daniels indicated that while cricket is the main sport in the area, they are also looking at other disciplines and the club will host a fitness run this month end which will continue on the last Friday in every month. Athletics coach Lawrence Kelman is in charge of this event.

Panda, PK and Mariappan, L and Kannan, TS (2000) Carbothermal reduction of kaolinite under nitrogen atmosphere. Ceramics International, 26 (5). pp. 455-461.
Full text available as:PDF Restricted to CSIR-NAL Registered users only Download (655Kb) | Request a copy |
Preliminary studies on the carbothermal reduction of kaolinite (A1203.2SiO2.2H20) in a static nitrogen gas pressure of 0.15 MPa are reported. The effect of various reaction parameters, e.g. temperature of the reaction (1550-1700xB0;C), mole ratios of carbon to silica (4.5-9.0) in the reactant mixture and nature and source of carbon, e.g. activated charcoal (sp. surface area, 1000 m 2/gm) and13; carbon black (sp. surface area, 300 m 2/gm) on the carbothermal reduction have been investigated. It is observed that mullite, silicon oxy-nitride and X-sialon phases are present at low temperatures, while (3'-sialons, [3-SiC, A1 203 and A1N are present at high temperatures.13; Activated charcoal is more reactive than carbon black and the reaction rate is more for higher mole ratios of carbon.

A breakthrough novel that pits young kingpins against a Mexican drug cartel, Savages is a provocative, sexy, and sharply funny thrill ride through the dark side of the war on drugs and beyond.
Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run a Laguna Beach–based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from their loyal clientele. In the past when their turf was challenged, Chon took care of eliminating the threat. But now they may have come up against something that they can't handle—the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, and sends them the message that a "no" is unacceptable. When they refuse to back down, the cartel escalates its threat, kidnapping Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante. O's abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate readers eager to learn the costs of freedom and the price of one amazing high.
Following "the best summertime crime novel ever" (San Francisco Chronicle on The Dawn Patrol), bestselling author Winslow offers up a smash hit in the making. Savages is an ingenious combination of adrenaline-fueled suspense and true-crime reportage by a master thriller writer at the very top of his game.
Don Winslow is the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of fifteen novels, including The Kings of Cool, Savages, The Gentlemen's Hour, The Dawn Patrol, The Winter of Frankie Machine, and The Power of the Dog. He lives in Southern California. To learn more, follow Don on Twitter at twitter.com/donwinslow or visit DonWinslow.com.

Phillip Clampitt, UWGB information, computing science and communication professor, was installed as the Blair Chair during UW-Green Bay's mid-year convocation Jan. 23.
UWGB Chancellor Thomas Harden and Provost Julia Wallace presented a medallion to Clampitt to commemorate the occasion. This marks the second time in the 13-year history of the John P. Blair Endowed Chair of Communication that it was awarded.
Clampitt succeeds retired UWGB professor Tim Meyer as Blair Chair. Meyer held the role from 2005 through 2011. Teaching ability and scholarship are important attributes of the person occupying the chair but in order to be appointed, a faculty member must demonstrate outstanding performance in other areas as well.
"His excellence in teaching and outstanding scholarship are key components enhanced by his superb community outreach activities," Meyer said. "Clampitt will do a terrific job as the new John P. Blair Endowed Chair in Communication."
Chancellor Harden had similar sentiments regarding Clampitt's tenure as Blair Chair.
"My expectation is he'll continue his record of excellence," Harden said.
During Meyer's two terms as Blair Chair, the communication department developed new courses for students, including media planning and selling, public relations writing and cases in communication. Internship opportunities for students also increased locally, regionally and in large media markets across the nation, Meyer said.
The expansion of the opportunities for communication students during Meyer's tenure has not been overlooked by Clampitt and has plans to continue the development of the communication department throughout the coming years.
"One thing I've already proposed is a new course called social media strategies," Clampitt said. "I have big shoes to fill and I have to carry on the legacy of John P. Blair and what he was all about — implementing cutting-edge business practices."
John P. Blair was an early promoter of broadcast advertising and established the industry's first agency of its kind devoted to radio and TV advertising. In 2003, Dorothy Blair, widow of John Blair, visited UWGB and was impressed with the faculty's commitment to its undergraduate communication program as well as its effective level of mentoring offered to students. Dorothy Blair and the Blair Foundation offered a donation to UWGB to create the university's first endowed professorship, Meyer said.
"The Blair Chair adds a level of prestige to the communication department," Clampitt said. "It puts the department on the map as one of the top undergraduate communication programs in the nation. It's something unique and has become a selling point for incoming students and speaks volumes to the quality of faculty, and more importantly, the quality of students we've attracted."
Regardless of the accolades, Clampitt said high-level instruction is most important.
"For me, it's not about the awards, it's doing what I'm supposed to do as a scholar, and to help create great students that have great value in the workplace — that's what I'm all about."

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is calling for a commission to be formed to talk about ways to keep Social Security stable.
Durbin claims Social Security will be out of money in 20 years. He says without a long-term plan to keep the system solvent, federal lawmakers could see the same problems with Social Security that state politicians have dealt with regarding pensions.
"So what lesson is to be learned? When you make a long-term promise, think of it in long term. So what I want us to do is sit down and look at the future of Social Security right now," Durbin said.
Durbin says he's in favor of lifting the cap on income that can be taxed for Social Security, as well as reducing cost of living adjustments for well-off retirees. Some options are off the table to Durbin as well, such as any plan to privatize the system.
Durbin: Study Social Security's Future before It's Too Late

Following are excerpts from a discussion about the veil between Iqbal Baraka, Editor-in-Chief, of the Egyptian Hawaa women's magazine and Al-Jazeera TV news presenter Hadija bin Qinna. The show was aired on LBC TV on May 28, 2006.
Interviewer: How do you view the phenomena of celebrities taking up the veil, Iqbal Baraka?
Iqbal Baraka: In my personal view, this phenomenon has less to do with religion than with social, economic and political factors. Women are intimidated and terrorized. The Arab woman is subjected to continuous pressure to wear the hijab. The Arab man tries to gain control and hegemony in any field, to compensate for his utter failure in the political field. So he puts pressure on the woman. Some say that the hijab is a religious duty - as if Allah ordered men to observe five religious duties, and ordered women to observe six. This completely contradicts the equality between all human beings in Islam.
This phenomenon began to spread with the Arab defeat of 1967, when some Muslim scholars alleged that the reason for the defeat was that Muslims were distancing themselves from their religion. Women going out to work and women's liberation were the main reasons for the defeat, in their view.
Consequently, there began to be tremendous pressure on the weak and wretched element - the woman. This was a way of compensating for the shortcoming of the Arab man, who was repeatedly defeated in the political sphere.
This is a social, political, and psychological phenomenon, more than a religious one.
Hadija bin Qinna: I became convinced that pleasing God is much more important than pleasing the viewers. I was surprised that after taking up the hijab, most of the viewers' responses were wonderful. People welcomed decision to wear the hijab and congratulated me. Almost all media outlets... You'd be surprised if I told you that media outlets from India, Japan, Columbia, the United States, London, France... Media outlets like La-Figaro, Le Monde, The Times and The Guardian... Many media outlets talked about the hijab. I think that Iqbal Baraka is mistaken in her analysis.
How come individual liberty ceases to exist only when it comes to the hijab? Today, the homosexuals talk about their liberties, and demand that associations be establishment to defend their rights, and in some Arab countries they even march in the streets. So how... I mean... Homosexuals have begun to talk about their liberties - is it too much to grant us the liberty to wear what we want?
She talks about the hijab as if it were a lethal virus, or a plague liable to spread rapidly, and she fears that the hijab might spread in society this way.
Her interpretation of this as a social phenomenon that has nothing to do with religion makes me feel that Mrs. Iqbal is speaking from Wagadugu or some island, and not from an Arab-Muslim country.
Islam is the religion of the state in most Arab constitutions. Women who we the hijab constitute over half of the women in Arab societies.
Iqbal Baraka: You believe the hijab to be a religious duty, right? So how come it is not incumbent upon men?
Hadija bin Qinna: I was in Jerusalem about two months ago, and I noticed that Jewish religious women cover their heads, even with a wig. Some of them shave their head completely, and wear a wig. Of course, we are familiar with Jews' way of deceiving their own religion. Some of these women shave their head completely, and wear a wig as a head covering.
How come the world is not in an uproar when it comes to these women?
Iqbal Baraka: She raised a very important issue: Why is the entire world against the wearing of the hijab by Muslim women? The reason is that the hijab is a means of racial discrimination, which was initially intended to distinguish the rich from the poor. Later it was used to distinguish between free women and salve girls, and today it distinguishes between Muslim and non-Muslim women, as well as between men and women.
The hijab is one of the most distinct means of racial discrimination.

Dear Friend
of KNOM, Thank you,
thank you! It takes a huge
amount of work, and a huge amount of enthusiastic support, to maintain
this most active inspirational and educational radio station. During the
summer, we are especially needed, as families leave their villages for
even more remote points to fish, hunt and gather berries and other
tundra plants to put food on the table for winter.
For thousands of folks in these incredibly isolated spots, a
battery radio playing KNOM is their only contact with the outside world. For your
friendship, your help and your prayers, we honor you.
We pray for you, those you love and your intentions every day.
May God grant you His peace, strength and many, many blessings. HE'S BACK! (left) 2005-07 volunteer news reporter Jesse Zink returned to KNOM in July to help out for the summer. For the
past two years, he has volunteered at a medical mission in Mthatha,
South Africa. By virtue
of his skin color and perceived wealth, in Mthaha, he always stood out.
"Now," Jesse says, "I am just
part of the crowd, which has been a relatively easy adjustment to make."
Next month, Jesse moves on to study theology at Yale University.
Thank you, Jesse!
39TH YEAR: July 14th at 4:30 PM, KNOM began the mission's 39th year. In that time, we've endured financial crises, fires, our tower nearly destroyed by an airplane and repeatedly by ice and120 MPH winds, blizzard after blizzard, two "hundred year" floods, frequent autumn storms with the intensity of hurricanes, the list is almost endless. Thanks to a dedicated, hardworking staff, and especially thanks to good people like you, KNOM's managed to always be there for our listeners, with messages of hope and encouragement and prayer. May the station enjoy many, many more. (Left, July 14, 1971, Bishop Robert Whelan, SJ, pushes the tape recorder's remote PLAY button, starting KNOM's first program. The prerecorded hour-long show is produced by volunteer Tom Busch. It's announcer is deep voiced volunteer Leo Kehs (left). From Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Leo hosts the weekday KNOM evening program. Thank you for joining us at www.knom.org, and thank you for playing an important role in the work of the oldest Catholic radio station in the United States. |
Work as though everything depended
on you. Pray as though
everything depended on God. |
Saint Augustine once said:
"Find out how much God has given you and from it, take what you
need. The remainder which
you do not require is needed by others.
"The superfluities of the
rich are the necessities of the poor.
Those who retain what is superfluous possess the goods of
others." |
Father James Keller, MM, founder of the
Christophers, once wrote:
"Hope looks for the good in people instead
of harping on the worst.
"Hope opens doors where despair closes
"Hope discovers what can be done instead of
grumbling about what cannot be done.
"Hope draws its power from a deep trust in
God and the basic goodness of human nature.
"Hope regards problems, large or small, as
"Hope is a good loser because it has the
divine assurance of final victory." |

(left) Business manager Lynette Schmidt checks figures in the upstairs
office. Behind Lynette, you can see a collection of photos of KNOM contributors and their families. Originally
from Fall River, Massachusetts, and then Bainbridge Island, Washington,
Lynette was a KNOM volunteer from 1982 to 1985. She was
attracted to the KNOM mission by her older brother, Normand Berger, a
Brother of Christian Instruction who was the mission's chief engineer.
Initially, she produced spots, then served as news director for
two years. She married
1984-85 volunteer Ric Schmidt.
They left Nome, before Ric returned as program director in 1995,
becoming general manager in 2005.
several others on the KNOM staff, she is an amateur radio operator, with
the call sign KLØWC. Today,
Lynette is on the front lines of KNOM's finances, and processes many of
your contributions that keep the mission's signal strong.
If you prefer receiving thank you notes for your gifts
by e-mail, please contact Lynette at email@example.com.
Thank you! A HAPPY OCCASION: Following two years of volunteer service, Laura Davis is leaving KNOM, but after a brief vacation, she will be returning to Nome. This is the
first year in memory, perhaps the first year in the mission's history,
that we are not saying goodbye to anyone on the staff.
You can imagine our joy!
That's how many inspirational and educational spots we've
broadcast so far in 2009. |
Love is like the five loaves and two fishes.
It doesn't start to multiply until you give it away. |

[UPDATE] Class and Culture in Contemporary Crime Fiction (Due: September 1)full name / name of organization: Julie H. Kim / Northeastern Illinois University contact email: email@example.com I have received a contract for a volume of critical/scholarly essays--currently titled Class and Culture in Contemporary Crime Fiction--from McFarland & Company. (I have already published two previous collections of essays on detective fiction through McFarland.) Please submit your abstract (250 words) and a brief cv by September 1, 2012, to be considered for this collection. ------ I am looking to put together 10-12 original essays (which I will edit and introduce) with the following (loosely defined) sub-categories, on works published since the mid-1970s: 1) Partners and Class: This section of 3-4 essays might study how, in some partnerships (especially British ones such as ones between Elizabeth George's Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers or between Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis), class differences take center stage in the interpersonal dynamics and, possibly, in the resolution of cases. Comparative studies of novels and film adaptations are possible. 2) Gender and Class: Women detectives like P.D.James's Cordelia Gray, Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone, and Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski (among others), find themselves treading carefully between their independence, their gender identities, and people of power and privilege they interact with, especially in the detecting profession traditionally viewed as masculine. This section on gender and class will cover 3-4 essays. 3) Race and Class: Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins, Barbara Neely's Blanche White, and Lucha Corpi's Gloria Damasco are just some examples of ways in which, especially in American detective fiction, issues of race and ethnicity collide with class in significant ways. The 3-4 essays in this section will analyze the intersection of race and class (and along with these, sometimes gender as well). While Section 1 (on Partners and Class) is likely to be heavily British and Section 3 (on Race and Class) is likely to be mostly American in focus, I am open to other options and categories which invite new ways of looking at this topic and will select the most wide-ranging and diverse essay abstracts. Please submit an abstract of 250 words by September 1, 2012 to firstname.lastname@example.com. cfp categories: cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches ethnicity_and_national_identity film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality journals_and_collections_of_essays popular_culture twentieth_century_and_beyond

SpacePak makes it possible to install central heating and cooling in any home or small business; regardless of structure design, age, size or type of construction. SpacePak is an air distribution system which uses a principle known as aspiration - as the air stream enters the room, it creates a gentle mixing of air in the room to provide thorough, comfortable draft-free air circulation. SpacePak eliminates stratification with a minimum floor-to-ceiling temperature difference.

PartsGeek had the part I needed in stock ... had it at a good price ... I selected free (potentially the slowest) delivery ... and it was in my office the next day. What more needs to be said?
Ordered a part made by Bosch. It arrived sooner than I expected and was first quality. I will definetly shop Parts Geek again for my Mercedes parts needs.
