Some land mines hidden within the citys Neighborhood Stabilization Program were defused Tuesday night.
The City Council voted to revise the programs rules, giving the council more oversight on property sales and bringing it more in line with Ogdensburgs charter. The sale of program properties will now have to be approved by three-quarters of the city council before a purchase agreement can be signed by the city manager.
This is the end product of discussions we had about the progress we would use to dispose of property in this program, said Philip A. Cosmo, interim city manager. Mr. Cosmo said staff had discussed the revisions to try to keep them in line with the state and federal guidelines of the program.
Last year, council members were upset to find former City Manager Arthur J. Sciorra had entered into contracts to sell program houses before the sales were reviewed or approved by the council.
It looks like we have that problem ironed out now, said Councilman Daniel E. Skamperle. I was thinking we should be out of the program.
Section C-17 of Ogdensburgs charter requires that a super majority of the council approve all property sales.
Mr. Skamperle pointed out that the section conflicted with state Real Property Law, which only requires a majority of the local governing body approve a sale.
You can be stricter, but not less restrictive than state law, said Mayor William D. Nelson.
The revisions keep in place a lottery program that chooses which potential buyer has the first opportunity to purchase a house renovated by the program. The potential buyers are drawn from a pool of people who meet standards for family size, income and first-time home buyer education.
Andrea L. Smith, interim city planner, said prospective buyers would be required to make a deposit when a purchase offer was signed.
The changes do state that buyers will be asked to bring $2,000 to the table, she said.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program is a vestige of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act designed to renovate derelict homes using grant money and then sell them at reduced-cost to low and moderate income families.
The program ended up causing big trouble in the Maple City. After thousands of dollars were used to renovate deteriorating houses in the city, it was revealed that a family had lived rent- and tax-free for three years in one house.
Later, problems with incomplete repairs, property selection and the sale of the houses arose. Those issues led to the resignation of one city official and played a role in the firing of another.
More than a year later, city leaders are still trying to set the program aright.

Except the people were killed because they were wicked and beyond help or saving. (according to the bible anyways) But yeah I guess it's okay for you to have an abortion using this logic if you're an omnipotent, all knowing being and the reason for aborting was because you knew for a fact that the fetus would grow to be wicked.

Kanoah (04/08/2014) [-]
You know what, honestly, I doubt the people of the time were any more wicked than we've been with our multiple genocides, world wars, and nuclear weapons, and nothing had happened, so I honestly think that if God killed the Earth's population for crimes that we've clearly exceeded, abortions mentioned here are kind of on the small end of the scale.

The Promise of a New Day
Ricky Burdett carries extremely impressive credentials. Hell need em in a place like Miami. Heck, hell probably need major tranquilizers too. Miami is to downtown what Jackson Pollock is to Realism. Burdett, a leading figure in the exciting world of urban planning i.e., how to make it possible for buildings and people to coexist happily is a program director at the London School of Economics and chief advisor for construction of the venue for the 2012 Olympics in London. Hell speak freely, and for free, at DawnTown 2007, an annual architecture event about the future of cities in that splendid (ahem) and ever-expanding architectural blop in dead-center downtown that is Miami Dade College (specifically in the Chapman Conference Center, on NE Fourth Street between Second Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard, Miami).
Parking is free (with printed invitation) in the garage on NE Sixth Street between First and Second avenues. A panel of local experts will try to explain Miamis planning to a surely befuddled Mr. Burdett following his lecture, which begins at 10 a.m. Oh boy. To RSVP, contact Geraldine Guerra at 305-237-3222, or e-mail email@example.com.

I've heard Dr Helton is great -- problem is I've never actually seen him in the 16 years I've technically been his patient. The office staff is horrible and scheduling is a nightmare. I've had several appointments cancelled on me and it takes forever to get lab work back. When you go for an appointment you have plenty of time (waiting over an hour is typical) to watch people haggle with the front desk for their test results. When I was in high school and dealing with some major hormonal mood swings, the nurse I saw wrote me a prescription for an anti-depressant and sent me on my way. No further evaluation, no referral to someone with actual mental health credentials, just 'Oh you get bad PMS and social anxiety once a month? Here, take a psychotropic drug every day.' What?! I also sat with my dad for over an hour while he writhed in pain from what turned out to be a kidney stone. He ended up going to the bathroom, passing it, and we left before anyone even saw him. I was livid.

Stay away! You will only be able to see a nurse. You will also have a long wait even though you have an appointment. The staff is incompetent!You'd be wiser to visit the Urgent Care facility where you will be seen by a trained physician who will treat your illness promptly and efficiently.

This should have been my perfect tea. A first flush darjeeling with a twist of Earl Grey. But somehow it just doesn't quite work, and it was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe I was building it up high in my anticipation, to a level where it could not match.
The bergamot has a very suspicious role in this tea. It sits there, dominating in its uncompromising way, as if it's trying to hide something. Of course, in a first flush darjeeling, there is nothing to hide, but the bergamot is too strong for it, and the special-ness of the darjeeling is not allowed the space to impress the taste buds.
It's not horrible, but I'd rather just have a Darjeeling and an Earl Grey separately and not on top of each other.

Description:A bus plunged down a ravine in northern Ecuador Sunday (February 19) killing on impact at least 14 men, 10 women and two children, authorities said. The nature of the accident is under investigation, however, officials point to a driver error scenario and excessive speed to have caused the accident. The bus was traveling between Ibarra and San Lorenzo, 120 kilometres (75 miles) of capital Quito, when the driver lost control plunging the vehicle head first into a six meters deep cliff. (1:09)

Joseph Morgan Dishes on His Dream Role — Move Over, Klaus!
With the way Joseph Morgan completely inhabits the role of Klaus Mikaelson on The Originals, sometimes it's hard to imagine him in any other role. But the British actor is a versatile and ambitious performer with a new movie, Armistice, just released on VOD and iTunes. Hopefully there are many roles in his future, but what did he call his dream role? "I'm a big reader so I suppose I would be interested in playing a role from a book I love," Joseph told Cambio. "But I read a lot of genre, so I don't think I'm looking for another sort of vampire or werewolf part. I'm happy to be still playing [Klaus] on The Originals, but in terms of looking for something else — I suppose anything from a Stephen King novel would be great. Anything that meant I could get to meet Stephen King would be a great role for me I think." We would love to see JoMo bring a literary character to screen — Stephen King, or otherwise. We're sure the adaptation would be lucky to have him! But, we have to admit, we're glad Joseph gave Klaus a shout-out in the interview. We've not tired of seeing him work out the many complexities of the Original hybrid yet — and it sounds like he hasn't either. He also spoke on the gratitude he has for the success of The Originals. "It feels really good," he said of the supernatural spin-off. "It was a long time coming. It's been really rewarding to explore that character to a greater level. To have everyone who is a fan of that show watching the other project I've done and getting them excited is very rewarding as well. I feel very lucky that the fan base is willing to come over and show an interest."

Families With Greatest Challenges: Immigrants
Pontifical Council Secretary Addresses World Meeting
| 1821 hits
Archbishop Agostino Marchetto, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers, affirmed this in an address Thursday to the some 10,000 participants in the theological congress of the 6th World Meeting of Families. The world meeting runs through Sunday in Mexico City.
"Unfortunately, in a world that celebrated with joy the fall of the Berlin Wall, other walls are being erected between neighborhoods, dividing one city from another, and between nations," the archbishop lamented. He noted how Benedict XVI points to the Holy Family in exile in Egypt as a model for migrant families.
The Vatican official considered a papal message for migrant families, which went through a list of internal and external situations that these families have to face: the disappointment of those seeking "a land full of happiness" but finding instead, upon their arrival, the traps of corruption, crime and prostitution.
The prelate went on to consider a list of difficulties faced by migrants and, particularly, by their families. And in such a context, he affirmed, it is to be expected that many immigrants live with a series of "defense mechanisms."
Archbishop Marchetto noted how there is less understanding and sympathy for refugees now, and in general the attitude of society is to see them almost as a threat or a political nuisance, regardless of their values and the potential contribution they can make in their host country.
"Civil society and Christian communities are therefore challenged by these complex issues and challenges," he emphasized.
"In the heart of every man ... is expressed the deep restlessness proper to his condition as Homo Viator [pilgrim man]," Archbishop Marchetto stated. "The thirst for new horizons is notable; the radical certainty is demonstrated that only in the infinity of God is the goal of existence reached."

More than 5,700 public school students return to school on Wednesday.
School officials said 3,311 students are enrolled in Pittston Area and 2,468 students are enrolled in Wyoming Area.
All schools will be closed on Monday, Sept. 3 in honor of Labor Day.
Retiring Pittston Area Assistant Superintendent Jack Lussi said a new superintendent, Michael Garzella, will start on Monday. He said the Intermediate Center has a new principal, Dr. Janet Donovan. She replaces Stanley Waleski who retired after 36 years in the district.
"Everything else is pretty much like last year," Lussi said.
Lussi offered a grade-by-grade breakdown: 265 students are heading into kindergarten; 260 in first grade; 260 in second grade; 263 in third grade; 226 in fourth grade; 272 in fifth grade; 243 in sixth grade; 245 in seventh grade; 246 in eighth grade; 271 in ninth grade; 272 in tenth grade; 266 in eleventh grade; and 221 are set to graduate on June 14, 2013.
Wyoming Area Secondary Center Principal Vito Quaglia said the district is now working with Seneca Valley School District to provide in-district cyber classes.
"Students would be able to get a Wyoming Area diploma," Quaglia said. "We will be incorporating our curriculum into the cyber classes."
Quaglia said the district is also getting proactive with its anti-bullying policy.
The Ambassadors are a group of Wyoming Area students that will be trained and designated go-to people if students feel bullied.
"We're adding another layer of support," Quaglia said. "Some students may not feel comfortable coming to a teacher, so they can come to a student."
Wyoming Area employs approximately 121 support staff, 161 full time teachers and seven administrators to provide instruction to its students.
At Wyoming Area, an Orientation Day for incoming 7th grade students will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at the Secondary Center.

Sometimes a résumé was once good, but now it's stale. Sometimes it was never that good to begin with. Either way, how do you know if it's time to rephrase your résumé?
Below you'll find five sentences commonly found on a résumé. Each sentence could be rewritten to better reflect the job seeker's skills. Choose the option you think best describes why and how the sentence should be reworded. Once you've finished, review the results to see if you know how to write a winning résumé or if it's time for some rephrasing.
1. "Objective: To obtain a challenging position in leadership that will allow me to apply creative problem solving to achieve optimum results."
A. The objective is pretty vague; it should also include the company or position title, as well as a desired salary.
B. The space for objective statements could be better used if replaced with a summary of your job-seeker brand, or a one-sentence statement that summarizes your expertise and skills.
C. Simplify the objective statement and use language from the job description.
2. "Summary of qualifications: Maintained strong business relationships with new and old clients, and cultivated strong connections with team members to create strong communication at our company."
A. This could be separated into three bullet points to make a stronger statement.
B. The repetitive language should be removed, and there should be individual bullet points with clear descriptions of each qualification.
C. Leave this as is.
3. "Professional experience: Independent business consultant at ABC Co., 2006-present; account executive at JRR Sales Co., September 2000-April 2006; cashier at Jerry's Ice Cream Shop, June 2003-April 2006."
A. Bullet points should follow each title, as well as daily tasks performed.
B. The only work experience listed should be relevant to the job you're interested in and should include three to four bullet points of major accomplishments that relate to the position for which you're applying.
C. This is fine, as long as the location of each business is also included.
4. "Education: College University, Class of 1998."
A. Include the school's location.
B. Include the school's location, your degree information and any training or certificates received. Revise the title to say, "Education and training."
C. Leave this as is.
5. "References: John Baker, supervisor at ABC Co., phone and email included; Linda Cook, manager at JRR Sales Co., phone and email included."
A. Leave this as is.
B. Leave references off of the résumé, and use the space for something else.
C. Use the line, "References available upon request."
Mostly A's: You're on the right path, but most of your answers would make the résumé too wordy or unorganized. You may want to edit your résumé so it's more concise. In each section, ask yourself if the hiring manager would find that information helpful, relevant and easy to understand. Résumé space is too valuable to be wasted on unnecessary information.
Mostly B's: Your résumé rephrasing skills are top-notch. You clearly took the time to research the position you're applying for, and you're able to communicate your personality and experience in your résumé. You've likely included only relevant information on your résumé and everything included supports why you're the best candidate for the job.
Mostly C's: Although minimalism can be an attractive quality in business, your answers indicate that you're holding back on your résumé. Hiring managers can go through thousands of job applications when searching for the right candidate, and it's important that you stand out from your competition by showcasing your individuality, experience and personality. If you don't have much work experience, include information that's relevant to the position of interest, and communicate why you're right for the role.

Everything But the Squeal
When I was out there in December, he showed me the high-tech process they use once they have the discarded pits from their Apricot Ale. As I recall, it involves a hinged lever device and a lot of grunting. And then an explosion of pit shrapnel. In the end, what you have is an almond-tasting nut so small it takes 600-700 to make a pound. These have been used to flavor amaretto liquor and other almondy-tasting things, as well as tonics to ward off cancer. (Studies say it doesn't work.) In any case, the fruit of this laborious process is finally at hand. Over the weekend, Cascade will unveil a blended "white port/raspberry/apricot seed beer" for Zwickelmania.
Which reminds me-- Zwickelmania is this Saturday. It is an annual event wherein members of the Oregon Brewers guild throw open their brewery doors and give tours to the public. It was a smash hit last year--a little unexpectedly, according to the brewers I spoke to--and this year breweries are making an even bigger deal of it. Like, you know, releasing white port/raspberry/apricot seed beers.
For full details, including itineraries, maps, and addresses, go to the Oregon Brewers Guild website.

Yeah, but only a little, and those kinds of compounds never go into an alcohol solution, right? - 12:23 PM, February 09, 2010
Uhm, yeah, apricot pits contain amygdalin which can be converted to cyanide in your small intestine...I'd be wary of any foods made with high dosages.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdalin - 1:12 PM, February 09, 2010
Next your going to tell me apple seeds are harmful. - 8:15 PM, February 09, 2010
- Keith said...
The beer solution should be mostly water so things soluble in water tend to be soluble in ethanol/water solutions. Amygdalin is soluble in water hot alcohol and slightly soluble in alcohol.

@ jbx
Apple seeds contain amygdalin as well.Luckily the body detoxifies cyanide in small doses. Appricots however contain higher doses of amygdalin then other seeds.
I think you'll be safe with this beer if they didn't hit it to heavily with the pits. The only problem comes with someone who has a condition that doesn't allow there body to process cyanide well. Speaking of almonds though what famouse spy pill smells like almonds? :) Maybe they should have handed out apricot pits in spy novels. - 11:06 PM, February 09, 2010
- DA Beers said...
I believe when talking to Ron he mentioned treating the pits somehow for that very concern.

Few outside the rarified world of huge money New York divorces are familiar with the name Allan E. Mayefsky. That's all changed with his representation of Katie Holmes in her petition against Tom Cruise.
Now RadarOnline.com is taking a look at the man and his firm, who have been called everything from ruthless, nasty, tough and cutthroat.
Well-known legal analyst and author Lisa Bloom tells The Daily Beast Katie made a tactical move in hiring Mayefsky, who previously represented Peter Cook in his divorce from Christie Brinkley.
PHOTOS: Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes' Relationship Through The Years
"She's making it clear she's going to play tough. Cruise is more of a high-profile celebrity than she is, so he has a greater distance to fall if grievances are aired. Everyone has dirty laundry they don't want aired. She's saying play fair with me or else … Of course she would choose an experienced and tough lawyer. But the fact that she'd choose someone who's been known to go to media in the past signals that she might have hired him for that reason."
Harvard Law School graduate Mayefsky, a partner in the firm of Aronson Mayefsky & Sloan, specializes in cases like Holmes v. Cruise where one party has far more in assets than the other. His lecture topics, for instance, include "equitable distribution in high net worth cases."
PHOTOS: Katie Holmes May Be Under Surveillance By A Team Of Mystery Men
Tricia Walsh-Smith was at the receiving end of AMS when she divorced Phillip J. Smith, chairman of the Shubert Organization. She told The Daily Beast Katie "needs cutthroat lawyers because Tom is really powerful. The dirtier the better, so I think she made a good choice. They are known for being ruthless, and they normally win. They beat the sh**t out of me. They make you out to be the biggest piece of trash there is. It took me a long time to get over it.
Katie, Walsh-Smith added, "has really good, nasty, horrible lawyers and she should do really well."
PHOTOS: Tom Cruise Pictured In Iceland After Katie Holmes' Divorce Filing
The first fight for Team Katie is to keep her divorce case in New York, where she filed last week.
As RadarOnline.com has reported, Tom is expected to argue that the case should be heard in California.

Central effects of various ligands on drinking behavior in eels acclimated to seawater. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12517986 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Intracranial injection of eel angiotensin II (eANG II, 5x10(-13)-5x10(-8) mol), acetylcholine (ACh, 5x10(-12)-5x10(-9) mol), substance P (5x10(-10) mol) and isoproterenol (a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, 5x10(-11)-5x10(-9) mol) enhanced water intake in the seawater eel. The effects of eANG II, ACh and isoproterenol were dose-dependent. By contrast, water intake was inhibited by intracranial injection of eel atrial natriuretic peptide (eANP, 5x10(-13)-5x10(-10) mol), serotonin (5-HT, 5x10(-12)-5x10(-8) mol), ghrelin (5x10(-12)-5x10(-10) mol), gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA, 5x10(-11)-5x10(-8) mol), prolactin (PRL, 5x10(-10)-5x10(-9) mol), arginine vasotocin (AVT, 5x10(-12) mol), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, 5x10(-11) mol), noradrenaline (5x10(-9) mol l(-1)) and phenylephrine (alpha-adrenoceptor agonist, 5x10(-11)-5x10(-9) mol). The inhibitory effects of eANP, 5-HT, ghrelin, GABA, PRL and phenylephrine were dose-dependent. The intracranial stimulatory effect of eANG II was relatively long-lasting compared with the intravenous effect. The stimulatory effect of intravenous eANG II disappeared immediately, and was followed by an inhibition, which could be well explained by an increase in eANP secretion from the atrium. |

With Ireland leading 10-3 at the break in bitterly cold conditions, Scottish referee Kevin White called the game off at half-time for health and safety reasons, with the pitch hardening in the freezing temperatures.
Ireland had scored the only try in the 18th minute through an excellent run from winger Alison Miller, with centre Niamh Briggs adding the conversion.
Wales' Laura Prosser and Briggs swapped penalties in the closing minutes of the half as Ireland moved 10-3 ahead for the break.
With player safety paramount, the decision was taken to halt proceedings prematurely.
The Six Nations sub-committee will meet next week to set a date for a replay between the teams at the same County Meath venue

Thought itself needs words.
—Ugo Betti
With an astonishing vocabulary exceeding 600,000 words, the English language is the most expansive in human history. Of course, no one has mastered 600,000 words, but lawyers probably have a larger vocabulary than most.
And since law is especially language-dependent, lawyers are usually more adept than most at using words. Unfortunately, lawyers are also adept at misusing words. Certain misuses—such as those discussed below—are discouragingly frequent.
Pursuant to
This phrase is a favorite among lawyers—but only among lawyers. Laypeople rarely use it. If only it was as rare in the law, for it is clunky and often ambiguous. It can mean, for example, by, under, in accordance with, in compliance with, or in carrying out.
• Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit pursuant to [read under] the Tort Claims Act.
• The defendant was held pursuant to [in accordance with] the arrest warrant.
• Pursuant to [According to] the contract, the seller must forfeit the deposit.
• Pursuant to [In carrying out] the mandate, the trial court entered judgment.
That and Which
That should be used in restrictive clauses, while which (preceded by a comma) should be used in nonrestrictive clauses. A restrictive clause is essential to the meaning of the sentence. A nonrestrictive clause could be omitted without affecting the sentence's meaning, because it adds supplemental, nonessential information.
Lawyers often use which when they should use that:
• Cases which [read that] support this rule are too numerous to list.
• The prosecutor wanted a jury which [that] would favor the death penalty.
Bryan Garner has offered two examples in which correct usage of that and which is essential to meaning:
• All the cases that were decided before the 1995 legislation support this argument.
• All the cases, which were decided before the 1995 legislation, support this argument.
As Garner explains: ''The first sentence implies that some cases decided after the 1995 legislation don't support the argument. The second implies that no cases were decided after the 1995 legislation:''
Technically, it is often acceptable to use while for although, since both can suggest a contrast. But be cautious: while also carries a connotation of temporality.
• While she laughed at her own joke, she felt guilty.
Does this mean that she felt guilty only during the time that she laughed? Or does it mean that she laughed even though she felt guilty? To avoid this temporal ambiguity, it is often better to choose although over while.
Grammatically speaking, however can he used to start a sentence. But the simpler, cleaner word but is preferable. However works better in mid-sentence, as in this example:
• It seems unlikely, however, that Congress intended that result.
One meaning of however is always appropriate at the start of a sentence:
• However you read the statute [meaning in whatever way you read the statute], you must agree that it is poorly drafted.
How many times have you seen prose like this: ''The negligence of Defendant Jones and/or Defendant Smith proximately caused Plaintiff's injuries''? Lawyers think they are being precise by including both the conjunctive and and the disjunctive or. But courts have not viewed this phrase as precise, calling it, among other things, ''a verbal monstrosity,'' ''a befuddling, nameless thing,'' and an ''abominable invention.''
As Garner points out, the word or usually connotes and as well. So often, you can leave out the and. Overall, it is better to say ''Defendant Jones or Defendant Smith or both'' if you absolutely must convey both the conjunctive and the disjunctive.
These are crutch words that lend awkwardness, not precision. There is no need to say ''To the Honorable Judge of Said Court.'' Just say ''To the Honorable Court.'' Don't say ''The said witness saw the said defendant run the light.'' Simply say ''The witness saw the defendant run the light.''
Don't say ''The pleading is filed by tendering same to the clerk:'' Use common English and say ''The pleading is filed by tendering it to the clerk.''
Whether or not
Most uses of the word whether do not require the qualifier or not, since whether implies or not. Thus, you can usually omit or not as superfluous.
• It is the client's decision whether or not [read whether] to settle.
Or not should be included when whether or not means ''regardless of whether:''
• The game will be played whether or not it rains.
Affect Hs a verb usually meaning ''to influence'' or ''to have an effect on.'' Effect is usually a noun meaning ''a result or consequence:'' Sometimes effect is used as a verb meaning ''to bring about, accomplish:''
• The ruling did not affect him.
• The ruling had no effect.
• The ruling effected a change in the law.
Imply means ''to suggest;'' infer means ''to deduce:''
• From the legislative history, the court inferred Congress's intent.
• The legislative history implies that Congress meant something else.
Of course, the preceding list merely scratches the surface. For more complete treatment, consult any of Bryan Garner's books, such as The Redbook, A Manual on Legal Style and A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage.

Conviction(s) | Attempted murder of Umberto I of Italy |
Giovanni Passannante (Italian pronunciation: [dʒoˈvanni ˈpassanˈnantɛ]; February 19, 1849 – February 14, 1910) was an Italian anarchist who attempted to assassinate king Umberto I of Italy, the first attempt against Savoy monarchy since its origins.[1] Originally condemned to death, his sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. The conditions of his imprisonment drove him insane and have been denounced as inhumane.
Early life[edit]
Born in Salvia di Lucania (Basilicata), from Pasquale and Maria Fiore, he was the younger of ten children, four of whom died in early age. Grew up in a poor family, he was forced to work since a child as a laborer and a guardian of flocks and was able to attend school only for a short time. Later, Passannante moved to Vietri and after to Potenza working as a scullion in an osteria.
He met a captain of the royal army whom, noticed the boy's interest for studies, brought Passannante along with him in Salerno and gave him an annuity to allow a higher schooling. Thus he spent his free time reading the Bible and Giuseppe Mazzini's writings, which brought him closer to republican ideas.
Passannante began to attend Mazzinian circles and began to have his first troubles with the law. In a night of May 1870, he was discovered and arrested by some guardians of public safety while posting revolutionary proclamations against monarchies and popes, celebrating the Universal Republic, Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi. After two months in jail, he returned in his hometown, then in Potenza working as a cook. In 1872, he returned in Salerno, continuing his job. In June 1878, Passannante moved to Naples, where he lived from day to day changing various employers.
Attempted murder[edit]
After the death of his father Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I prepared a tour in the major cities of Italy to show himself as the new sovereign. He was accompanied by his wife Margherita and the prime minister Benedetto Cairoli. The royal cortege planned to visit Naples, although there was a heated argument in the city council about the high cost that would be incurred on its reception.
On November 17, 1878 Umberto I and his court were parading in Naples. Passannante was among the crowd, waiting for the right moment to act. While the king was on "Largo della Carriera Grande", the anarchist approached his carriage, faking a supplication; suddenly, he pulled out a knife and attacked him yelling: «Long live Orsini! Long live the Universal Republic!».[2]
Umberto I managed to deflect the weapon, receiving a slight wound on his arm. Queen Margherita threw a bouquet of flowers in his face and shouted: «Cairoli, save the king!».[3] Cairoli took him by his hair but the prime minister was wounded in his leg. Passannante was hit in the head with a saber by Stefano De Giovannini, captain of the cuirassiers, and was arrested. He tried to kill the king with a knife of 8 centimeters that he traded for his jacket. The weapon was wrapped in a red rag on which was written: «Death to the King! Long live the Universal Republic! Long live Orsini!».[4]
The attempted regicide shocked the entire nation, and the government feared an anarchist conspiracy. Passannante's action brought disorders in many cities, with a total of several dead, wounded, and arrested. On November 18 of the same year, in Florence, a group of anarchists threw a bomb into a crowd that was celebrating the king's survival. Two men and one girl were killed, and over ten people were injured. Another bomb exploded in Pisa with no casualties, and in Pesaro a barrack was assaulted.
Some republicans such as Alberto Mario condemned his action. The poet Giovanni Pascoli, during a socialist reunion in Bologna, gave a public reading of his Ode to Passannante of which there is no trace anymore because Pascoli destroyed it immediately after his reading.[5] Only the last verse is known, of which this paraphrase has been handed down: "Con la berretta d'un cuoco faremo una bandiera" (With the cook's cap, we'll make a flag).[6] After the arrest of some anarchists who protested against Passannante's detention, Pascoli and group of internationalists protested against the verdict, and the poet shouted: «If these are evil-doers, then long life to evil-doers!».[7] Pascoli and the internationalists were arrested.
Some newspapers directed baseless charges against Passannante: Verona's L'Arena and Milan's Corriere della Sera portrayed him as a brigand who had killed a woman in the past, while in a lithograph published in Turin it was reported that his father was a camorrista.[8] A few days after the attempted murder, Cairoli's government was strongly accused of inability to maintain public order, and, after a rejected motion of confidence presented by the minister Guido Baccelli, Cairoli resigned.
Passannante's family was jailed; only his brother was able to escape. Giovanni Parrella, mayor of Salvia di Lucania, went to Naples to apologize and ask for a pardon from Umberto I. In a sign of forgiveness, on order of the monarch's counselors, Passannante's hometown was forced to change its name to Savoia di Lucania, by a royal decree on July 3, 1879.
Sentence and death[edit]
During the trial, held on March 6 and 7 1879, Passannante, who acted alone, claimed that the ideas of Risorgimento were betrayed, the government didn't care about people, who became poorer because of the growing flour tax. Passannante was sentenced to death on March 29, 1879, although capital punishment was expected only in case of regicide, but his penalty was commuted to life imprisonment.
The anarchist was imprisoned in Portoferraio on the island of Elba, off the Tuscan coast, in a small and dark cell below sea level, with no toilets and in complete isolation for years. Day after day, his mental conditions became critical, as he couldn't talk to anyone and was brutally tortured. He fell ill with scurvy, struck by the taenia solium, lost body hair, his skin discolored, his eyelids reversed on the eyes and, according to some witnesses, he came to eat his own feces.[9] Every night seamen who passed near his prison could hear Passannante's screams of pain.
In 1899, the parliamentarian Agostino Bertani and the journalist Anna Maria Mozzoni denounced the maltreatment, which caused a big scandal. After the examination of the professors Serafino Biffi and Augusto Tamburini, which found him reduced to little more than a jelly, the anarchist was conducted to the asylum of Montelupo Fiorentino but the physicians were unable to recover him from his mental and physical issues. Passannante died in Montelupo Fiorentino, at the age of 60.
Post mortem[edit]
After his death, his corpse was beheaded, and his head and brain became subject of the study of criminologists, under the theories of anthropologist Cesare Lombroso. In 1935, the brain and skull of the anarchist, preserved in formaldehyde, were sent to the Criminal Museum in Rome, where they were displayed for over 70 years.
The permanence of the remains at the Museum ranked as one of Italy's more macabre showcases,[10] causing protests and parliamentary questions. In 1998, the then Italian Minister of Justice, Oliviero Diliberto, authored a decree allowing for the displacement of his remains to Savoia di Lucania, but it wasn't acted on until 2007. Passannante's skull and brain remained in the museum, in a neon-lit display case.
On the night of May 10, 2007, the remains of Passannante were taken to Savoia di Lucania and buried secretly, with the presence only of Rosina Ricciardi, major of the town; an undersecretary of Vito De Filippo, governor of Basilicata; and a journalist of "La Nuova Del Sud". Some say it was recommended by monarchists because they didn't want the anarchist to receive any publicity. On June 2 of that year there was a mass in memory of the deceased, in the mother church of the town.

Roscosmos Plans to Launch Space Tourists in 2011
The Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) has found a sponsor to build a spacecraft that will bring space tourists to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2011, Roscosmos deputy head Vitaly Davydov said.
"We do have people willing to buy this spacecraft and to perform this flight," Davydov said at the Farnborough International Airshow.
Recently, Roscosmos has had an opportunity to launch one space tourist aboard a three-seat Soyuz spacecraft; however, after the ISS crew increases from three to six astronauts in 2009, there will be no more of this opportunity, Davydov said.
"That is why we want to build a special spacecraft in which tourists could fly to space," he said.
"There are people [in Roscosmos] who will tackle this issue in 2011," he added.

dc.description.abstract | The Runway Scheduling Problem (RSP) addresses the fundamental issues of airport congestion and energy conservation. It is a variation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from which it differs in three basic points: the maximum position shift (MPS) constraints, the requirement to enforce the triangular in its cost structure and the multiplicity of runways (corresponding to multiple salesmen in TSP). The RSP is dynamic, requiring fast and frequent schedule updates. The MPS constraints, designed to prevent inequitable treatment of aircraft, define a combinatorial neighborhood of tours around a base tour, determined by the arrival sequence of aircraft in RSP. The neighborhood contains all tours in which the position of an object (aircraft, city etc.) in the new tour is within MPS positions of its position in the base tour. The parameter MPS controls the radius of the neighborhood, which covers the full solution space when MPS equals half the number of aircraft. We first describe the RSP and then develop a parallel processor (PPMPS) that finds the optimal solution in the MPS-neighborhood in time linear to the number of objects, using up to 4MPS processors in parallel. Subsequently, PPM'S is applied to the general RSP and a case study is presented to justify simplifying assumptions in the scheduling of mixed traffic on multiple runways. The case study shows substantial improvements in the capacity of a system of three runways. Suggestions are made on how to use the PPMPS to create fast heuristic procedures for the TSP, based on divide and conquer and node insertion strategies. | en_US |

The fundamental problem with the android platform is, as you noticed,
the wifi card and drivers.
If you have a rooted device which supports USB host (I don't know
anyhting about this particular device) then you can probably do
something, yes. Many android devices do not support host.
In theory there's nothing keeping you from running kismet on, say, a
nexus 1 with the debian usbhost build and an external card, but it will
kill the battery mighty quick, and probably require an external power
pack for the USB card since most devices don't provide +5v.

I'm sorry but people who keep complaining about the vocals of the film obviously STILL don't get the point.
Tom Hooper wanted to showcase more of the acting and the emotions in the film version, and decided to record the vocals live during the filming. He could have opted the easy way out by auto-tune them to death and use studio recordings instead, Chicago style.
Personally I find Hugh's half singing half speaking style in most of his solos to be extremely effective. It showcases Jean's raw emotions that no one on the stage production would ever manage to do.
Bottom line is, This is a movie. I want to see the acting. If I want to be entertained by perfect vocals I'll head to West End.

...and yes, I'm running out of puns involving Bondo. I spent most of Saturday working on Bondo-ing and sanding the 205. Most of the work was on the bottoms of the window posts that were installed last weekend; I sanded these down and smoothed out the joints between the new post caps and the car's belt rail (see right).
I also worked on the wooden spacer over one of the car's west end windows, in which I drilled out and doweled the rotted-out holes for the screws that hold it to the letterboard. And I worked on the angled dash panel at the east end of the car. As seen below, the angled panel was reattached to the vertical dash and I began Bondo-ing the joint between the dash and the dash. On the left, note that the angled panel has been completely detached by rust from the vertical dash underneath the headlight, and has "sunk" from its original location, noted with a black line; in center, my father and I have raised up the angled dash and screwed it into the vertical dash at the correct height; at right, I've begun applying Bondo to the joint.
Ironically, installation of the headlight a couple of weeks ago will make smoothing out the Bondo more challenging, but that's the price you pay for progress! Note too that the angled dasher at the east end of the car, which was replaced in Portland following an accident of some sort, is significantly more rusted than the Kuhlman-installed one at the west end of the car. Apparently Portland Traction used thinner steel in their wreck rebuild.
In the end I was able to complete the window posts and make progress on various other areas of the car that have seen deterioration. I also completed spray-painting the HL switch groups under the car black (right) and tied the pole at the west end of the car to the hook so that it won't unhook and swing around unbidden, which it had done due to the (intentionally) low spring tension on the trolley base.
There was a lot happening in the department. John Myhre was working with Frank and Mike on the West Towns car; Jon and Dan were working on the 65; Jeff and Norm were doing roof work on the Michigan car; and Ed and Eric were working on the Cleveland PCC. As seen below, the painter has begun putting finish color on the body, and already the traces of Cleveland Transit System's distinctive Raymond Loewy-designed livery are showing.

Survey: Massachusetts Physicians More Open to ACOs
Massachusetts physicians are beginning to find alternative payment models more attractive, as a new survey revealed an increase in respondents likely to participate in voluntary global payments and accountable care organizations compared to last year.
Here are some of the main findings on ACOs and global payments from the Massachusetts Medical Society Physician Workforce Study, comparing 2011 responses with those from 2012.
• Approximately 74 percent of physicians are familiar with ACOs. Roughly 60 percent are likely to participate in a voluntary ACO.
• In 2011, 58 percent of physicians were familiar with ACOs, and roughly 29 percent were likely to participate.
• Primary care physicians were most familiar with the model (79 percent). About 72 percent of pediatricians and 65 percent of specialists were familiar with ACOs. In 2011, these survey findings were 63 percent, 46 percent and 58 percent, respectively.
Global payments
• Roughly 65 percent of physicians were familiar or very familiar with global payments, and 49 percent were likely to participate in a voluntary global payment arrangement.
• In 2011, 57 percent of physicians said they were familiar with global payments, and 42 percent indicated they were likely to participate in a global payment system.
• About 43 percent of independent physicians said they would participate in a global payment system compared with 62 percent of employed physicians. In 2011, these survey findings were 30 and 55 percent, respectively.

Take your heroic minor and help him develop into the kingdom's most glorious hero.. Get a job, go to school, rebuild the village and raid dungeons for their untold riches.. Will you ultimately be a hero, or simply a zero?
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I like the game. It kind of reminds me of a game called Project Princess, but on the other end of the spectrum. xD I had to play it on Kongregate to finish it completely though. I'm not sure if rank 5 is good or bad but that's what my last game score ended up at. The game is fine but there are a few problems, so here they are, plus some ideas.
-Someone mentioned unique animations for he jobs and training, why would you take that out?
-There's way too much missing in combat.
-There needs to be a way to tell the "level" of the dungeon, so you don't waltz right in to a super hard one that requires max stats and kill yourself.
-Speaking of that, even with max magic/strength I had a frustratingly hard time beating enemies in the demon and second titan dungeon. I was literally doing 11 damage to one of the 600-health 50-damage enemies. With a weapon that supposedly does 56 damage. Enemies that aren't wearing armour shouldn't have armour points.
-No bosses? It got very samey since there are only like 5-7 enemies. Sometimes the blue chest was out in the open, other times just guarded by a normal enemy.
-The environment never changes. It doesn't matter if you're in a volcano, a cave, or the tundra. Same wood floor, same cave background texture, same enemies. I'd like to see it as a sidescroller/platformer, and maybe rely more on skill than just stats.
-The music got boring, maybe add different music for the dungeon sequences, shop, etc. Or even different music for each level environment.
-Many stats aren't explained well... I still have no idea what a lot of them do even when I have them maxed out.
-It is WAY too hard to find the resting areas. Just make him find it immediately.
-Female characters? More customization, maybe?
-In-game quests to earn money (required amount of compassion, charisma, etc)?
That's really all I got.. Just a few ideas if you have a sequel in the works. I like this type of game so it'd be interesting to see how you can change it up next time. :P

I'm sad the game hasn't gotten as much views than i expected, but for me it's a really good game.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Totally awesome game! Only thing what annoys me just a little is slow start, but I overcame that with great curiosity.
