The Kingdom of Maynila (Tagalog: Maynila Old Malay: Kota Seludong, Jawi script: کوتا سلودوڠ), was one of three major city-states that dominated the area by the lower reaches and mouth of the Pasig River before the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 16th century. It is the site of present-day Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines.
Early records[1] claim that Maynila was named after the Yamstick Mangrove (Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, whose local name was "nila" or "nilad", by the time the Spanish colonizers arrived in the late 16th century. The name "maynila" itself transliterates as "There is nila (here)", and an alternative name for the place is "maynilad."
Nila or Nilad[edit]
There is some argument among historians as to whether the plant was actually called "nila" or "nilad."
Historians Ambeth Ocampo and Carmen Guerrero Nakpil[2] assert that nila is popularly referred to as nilad by people unfamiliar with the plant. On his Facebook page, Ocampo notes that "Some idiot added a 'd' to give us: Maynilad, Maharnilad, and Lagusnilad! In Fr. Blanco's Flora de Filipinas circa 1877 we find the ixora manila. There is no "d" after nila."[3]
A number of early sources disagree,[1] however, noting that the plant referred to as "nilad" is the Indigo plant (Indigoferra tinctoria), a different plant altogether. Emma Helen Blair, in the multi-volume collection of Philippine documents The Philippine Islands, notes "The name Manila is derived from a Tagalog word, ' Manilad ', meaning 'a place overgrown with Nilad' which is the name of a small tree, bearing white flowers."[1]
Julio Nakpil asserted that the dropping of the "d" at the end of the name was probably a mistake on the part of the Spaniards: "Maynilad seems to us reasonable for the following reason: the prefix 'may' means "to have" or "there is" (mayroon) ; and the prefix 'ma' means abundant (marami); and 'nilad' is a shrub, also called sagasa, growing profusely on the banks of Manila, and for that reason it was called Manilad before and after the coming of the Spaniards who, because of their defective pronunciation of our language, dropped the last letter, converting it into Manila."[4]
The early inhabitants of the present-day Manila engaged in trade relations with its Asian neighbours as well as with the Hindu empires of Java and Sumatra, as confirmed by archaeological findings. Trade ties with China became extensive by the 10th century, while contact with Arab merchants reached its peak in the 12th century.[5]
During the reign of Sultan Bolkiah (1485–1521) the Kingdom of Brunei decided to break the Kingdom of Tondo's monopoly in the Chinese trade by attacking Tondo and establishing the city-state of Seludong as a Bruneian satellite. This is narrated through Tausug and Malay royal histories, where the names Seludong, Saludong or Selurong are used to denote Manila prior to colonisation.[6]
Beginning of the Spanish Colonial Era[edit]
In the mid-16th century, the areas of present-day Manila were governed by native rajahs. Rajah Matanda (whose real name was recorded by the Legaspi expedition as Ache) and his nephew, Rajah Sulayman ("Rajah Mura" or "Rajah Muda" (a Sanskrit title for a Prince), ruled the Muslim communities south of the Pasig River, including the Kingdom of Maynila, while Rajah Lakandula ruled the Kingdom of Tondo north of the river.[7][8][9] These settlements held ties with the sultanates of Brunei, Sulu, and Ternate, Indonesia (not to be confused with Ternate in present-day Cavite).

A planning hierarchy represents the organizational levels and units in your company for which you want to plan. A planning hierarchy is a combination of
characteristic values based on the characteristics of one information structure.Planning hierarchies provide a framework for your planning activities in consistent planning and level-by-level planning. With these planning methods, a planning hierarchy must exist for the information structure before you can plan its key figures. You can create only one planning hierarchy for an information structure. However, a hierarchy can have as many different branches as you like. See also
Planning Hierarchies Containing Product Groups.You can create one or more planning hierarchies automatically when you install Release 3.0, with the
Master Data Generator.You can also create a planning hierarchy manually (see
Creating a Planning Hierarchy). It consists of one or more planning levels to which you assign characteristic values.You maintain planning hierarchies in much the same way as you maintain product groups, on a level-by-level basis, and define the aggregation factor and the proportional factor of each characteristic value just as you define them for the members of a product group. For more information, see
Planning Hierarchy Maintenance Functions.
Example of a Planning Hierarchy
You might extend this planning hierarchy to include further branches, such as branches to represent the organizational structure of the company in sales organizations South, East, and West.

This could allow a skilled attacker to inject binary specific exploit code into smbd. PLATFORM: Samba 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. DAMAGE: An external attacker could remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges. SOLUTION: If you are running Samba 2.2.7 or above apply the appropriate patch. If you are running an earlier version of Samba, upgrade to version 2.2.8 or prohibit external access to TCP ports 139 and 445. ______________________________________________________________________________ VULNERABILITY The risk is HIGH. The SMB/CIFS protocol implemented by Samba is ASSESSMENT: vulnerable to many attacks, even without specific security holes. The details of this vulnerability have been distributed via the Internet. ______________________________________________________________________________ LINKS: CIAC BULLETIN: http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/n-055.shtml ORIGINAL BULLETIN: http://www.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.8.html ADDITIONAL Sun Alert #53580 - patches for Solaris 9 INFORMATION: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert% 2F53580&zone_32=category%3Asecurity ______________________________________________________________________________ Revision History 6/2/03 - added link to Sun Alert #53580 for information on Solaris 9 patches. [***** Start Samba 2.2.8 Upgrade *****] The Samba Team announces Samba 2.2.8 **************************************** * IMPORTANT: Security bugfix for Samba * **************************************** This release provides an important security fix outlined in the release notes that follow. This is the latest stable release of Samba and the version that all production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes. The source code can be downloaded from : http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/ in the file samba-2.2.8.tar.gz or samba-2.2.8.tar.bz2. Both archives have been signed using the Samba Distribution Key. Binary packages will be released shortly for major platforms and can be found at http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/ As always, all bugs are our responsibility. --Sincerely The Samba Team Summary ------- The SuSE security audit team, in particular Sebastian Krahmer, has found a flaw in the Samba main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server. This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. This is a serious problem and all sites should either upgrade to Samba 2.2.8 immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139 and 445. Advice created by Andrew Tridgell, the leader of the Samba Team, on how to protect an unpatched Samba server is given at the end of this section. The SMB/CIFS protocol implemented by Samba is vulnerable to many attacks, even without specific security holes. The TCP ports 139 and the new port 445 (used by Win2k and the Samba 3.0 alpha code in particular) should never be exposed to untrusted networks. Description ----------- A buffer overrun condition exists in the SMB/CIFS packet fragment re-assembly code in smbd which would allow an attacker to cause smbd to overwrite arbitrary areas of memory in its own process address space. This could allow a skilled attacker to inject binary specific exploit code into smbd. This version of Samba adds explicit overrun and overflow checks on fragment re-assembly of SMB/CIFS packets to ensure that only valid re-assembly is performed by smbd. In addition, the same checks have been added to the re-assembly functions in the client code, making it safe for use in other services. Credit ------ This security flaw was discovered and reported to the Samba Team by Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Audit Team. The fix was prepared by Jeremy Allison and reviewed by engineers from the Samba Team, SuSE, HP, SGI, Apple, and the Linux vendor engineers on the Linux Vendor security mailing list. The Samba Team would like to thank SuSE and Sebastian Krahmer for their excellent auditing work and for drawing attention to this flaw. Patch Availability ----------------- As this is a security issue, patches for this flaw specific to earlier versions of Samba will be posted on the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list as requested. ************************************ Protecting an unpatched Samba server ************************************ Samba Team, March 2003 This is a note on how to provide your Samba server some protection against the recently discovered remote security hole if you are unable to upgrade to the fixed version immediately. Even if you do upgrade you might like to think about the suggestions in this note to provide you with additional levels of protection. Using host based protection --------------------------- In many installations of Samba the greatest threat comes for outside your immediate network. By default Samba will accept connections from any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be especially vulnerable. One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the 'hosts allow' and 'hosts deny' options in the Samba smb.conf configuration file to only allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example might be: hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and 192.168.3. All other connections will be refused connections as soon as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a 'not listening on called name' error. Using interface protection -------------------------- By default Samba will accept connections on any network interface that it finds on your system. That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those links. This may not be what you want. You can change this behavior using options like the following: interfaces = eth* lo bind interfaces only = yes that tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback interface called 'lo'. The name you will need to use depends on what OS you are using. In the above I used the common name for ethernet adapters on Linux. If you use the above and someone tries to make a SMB connection to your host over a PPP interface called 'ppp0', they will get a TCP connection refused reply. In that case no Samba code is run at all as the operating system has been told not to pass connections from that interface to any process. Using a firewall ---------------- Many people use a firewall to deny access to services that they don't want exposed outside their network. This can be a very good idea, although I would recommend using it in conjunction with the above methods so that you are protected even if your firewall is not active for some reason. If you are setting up a firewall then you need to know what TCP and UDP ports to allow and block. Samba uses the following: UDP/137 - used by nmbd UDP/138 - used by nmbd TCP/139 - used by smbd TCP/445 - used by smbd The last one is important as many older firewall setups may not be aware of it, given that this port was only added to the protocol in recent years. Using a IPC$ share deny ----------------------- If the above methods are not suitable, then you could also place a more specific deny on the IPC$ share that is used in the recently discovered security hole. This allows you to offer access to other shares while denying access to IPC$ from potentially untrustworthy hosts. To do that you could use: [ipc$] hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 this would tell Samba that IPC$ connections are not allowed from anywhere but the two listed places (localhost and a local subnet). Connections to other shares would still be allowed. As the IPC$ share is the only share that is always accessible anonymously this provides some level of protection against attackers that do not know a username/password for your host. If you use this method then clients will be given a 'access denied' reply when they try to access the IPC$ share. That means that those clients will not be able to browse shares, and may also be unable to access some other resources. I don't recommend this method unless you cannot use one of the other methods listed above for some reason. Upgrading Samba --------------- Of course the best solution is to upgrade Samba to a version where the bug has been fixed. If you wish to also use one of the additional measures above then that would certainly be a good idea. Please check regularly on http://www.samba.org/ for updates and important announcements. **************************************** **************************************** [***** End Samba 2.2.8 Upgrade *****] _______________________________________________________________________________ CIAC wishes to acknowledge the contributions of Samba for the information contained in this bulletin. _______________________________________________________________________________ CIAC, the Computer Incident Advisory Capability, is the computer security incident response team for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the emergency backup response team for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Released: Sep 01st, 2004
Running Time: 140
Company: Sinsational Pictures
Foxxxi, Elka, Gabriela (I), Wiska, Tanya (I), Rene (I), Others, Masha (I), Milana (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Like another Sinsational release reviewed elsewhere this month, this Sineplex-directed effort smacks of Euro-anonymity but still manages to connect all the dots with a professional, competitive flair. While not quite runway-model quality in looks, at least the girls don't play to the camera with flashy smiles while they're getting plugged in the ass or bobbing for pearl necklaces.
What the term "Sliders" actually refers to is a mystery [in this volume, at least] but the intentions of its cast are clear. This is an eager bunch; no more so than Foxxxi and Wiska - a crack redhead/blonde tag-team of spunk luvin' wenches who never allow themselves to become a third wheel while the other is getting boinked by a certain Mr. Unidentified. Tangy A2M action is their preferred flave, and the babes just keep chuggin' away until that spunky rain washes their kissers with sticky love.

On August 27, 2012, you posted something on your site regarding Kentucky State Police Trooper Jonathan Biven's accident that resulted in the death of another. He was not charged nor punished for this.
Over a year has passed, and the KPS has finally released their final report on the matter. Once again, Trooper has not been criminally charged nor has he been disciplined for this incident.
Wave 3 reports:
PARK CITY, KY – The case is now closed, but questions remain after a woman was killed in an accident with a Kentucky State Trooper.
WAVE 3 has obtained a copy of the investigation into that fatal accident. It comes more than a year after Trooper Jonathan Biven crossed the center line and hit an oncoming car killing Nurcan Ceylan, 33.
The 73 page report brought closure to Kentucky State Police's investigation into the wreck, but not to the victim's boyfriend, Samuel Parker.
"Its been rough because it's always the unknown, you don't know what's in the report, you don't know what the findings are going to be," Parker said. "I think the report brought up more questions as to what really happened."
Parker was in the passenger seat on September 15, 2011 when a cruiser driven by Trooper Biven crossed the center line and slammed into Ceylan's driver side. The accident happened on a rural stretch of Highway 31-W in Barren County.
"Out of nowhere, and I mean literally out of no where, he came right into our lane," Parker said.
Ceylan died of multiple blunt force injuries.
KSP's initial collision report released shortly after the crash faulted Trooper Biven for "inattention" and not keeping his cruiser "under proper control."
One month after the accident, in October 2011, then KSP spokesman Lt. David Jude said Trooper Biven was following two other cruisers on their way to serve a warrant. But Lt. Jude declined to elaborate further saying the questions would be answered when the full investigation was complete.
"I can tell you with 100 percent passion and certainty that this will be a fair, impartial investigation that will be done," Lt. Jude said at the time. "I have zero doubts about any of that."
It now appears a major focus of that investigation was to find out if Trooper Biven was on his cell phone when the wreck happened. Investigators studied Biven's phone records and the logs revealed the Trooper did make one phone call minutes before impact to his friend and local radio personality Kellie McKay.
But records indicated that call ended at 3:46 p.m., one minute before the reported time of the accident, estimated at between 3:47 and 3:48 p.m. That time line was backed up by McKay in a recorded interview with investigators, a copy of which was included with the final accident report obtained by WAVE 3.
"There was no doubt," McKay told investigators. "I knew we were completely off the phone. I knew (the accident) had to happen shortly after we were off the phone."
Biven told investigators the last thing he remembered was taking a drink from a coke, then the air bag deploying. The report states investigators found that coke bottle on the floor board, with the cap still on. And it never really pinpoints the cause of the "inattention" that led to Trooper Biven crossing the center line.
The reports only real conclusion comes on the summary page.
"It is the opinion of this investigator that this collision occurred due to (Trooper Biven) crossing into the oncoming lane and striking the driver side of (Ceylan's vehicle) in the driver's fender and driver's door area," the report states, something Parker knew from the start.
"The Kentucky State Police should have dug further and they didn't do it," Parker said. "Nurcan needs to get some justice here."
After reviewing KSP findings, Barren Metcalfe Commonwealth's Attorney Karen David cleared Trooper Biven of any criminal wrongdoing. He remains on the job in his same role, public affairs officer for KSP's Bowling Green Post.
A spokesman for all things including, safe driving.
Samuel Parker has filed a lawsuit in Barren County Court accusing Trooper Biven of negligence and recklessness on the job. The Kentucky State Police Department is also named in that lawsuit. KSP has filed a motion asking a judge to throw that lawsuit out of court.
David Berman, attorney for the family of Nurcan Ceylan, indicated KSP has paid out a settlement to the Ceylan family, who lives in Pennsylvania. Berman could not discuss specifics or say how much the family received because KSP forced the family to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Kentucky State Police declined to speak on camera for this story, saying the final accident report speaks for itself.

What crime did he commit? In my state we really don't have a charge for this anymore. We don't have vehicluar homicide, and we do have accidents that happen like this. We recently had 2 people killed in an accident nearby. They don't think they are going to charge the driver simply because is was an "accident". Driving left of center is a civil infraction, does rise to the level of criminal intent. Yeah, it involves a cop, but accidents like this, EXACTLY like this happen everyday and people don't go to prison.
- arthur berg
defending your thugs in blue eh pussysgt??
- certain
And no chance that the 1 minute difference between when he supposedly ended the call and when he wandered over the center divider is a giant pile of bullshit, now is there…….
How did he inexplicably do this wandering? BECAUSE HE WAS FUCKING TEXTING AND KILLED SOMEBODY.
But he will be excused because he's a cop. What PSO, your state wouldn't prosecute for VH if cell phone use caused an accident with fatalities? Oh, but everybody's so sure he was off the phone.
- matt
it seems to me that it would be criminal if he was talking on his cell phone while driving. Isn't it against the law to be talking on a cell phone while driving? If this where to happen to a citizen you better believe they would be charged if this was the case.
- Chris Mallory
He should be fired. He should spend the rest of his life in Eddyville. His family should lose any and all pension he has accrued.
How do we know he wasn't dialing the phone?
How do we know he wasn't fumbling with his coke bottle.
Did any one check his trousers to make sure he wasn't wanking the weasel while driving?He is a cop, he should automatically be at fault.
I like how people will pick what sentences to read of my comments and ignore others…. I'm not defending anyone cause they are a cop. As one(with glasses) could read, 1/2 of my reply wasn't even about this cop but a fatal accident caused by a civil infraction.
In my state I would have to prove gross negligence on the part of the driver to try and charge someone with a crime. Drunk driving is an easy one. Driving 100MPH in a school zone, easy 1. Left of center, running a red light, doing 15 over the speed limit…. not so easy.
Aurthr and certain…and anyone else. I realize it's much easier to simply attack me…but what law did he violate and what should he be charged with and why? Also, please include any court case that this may also involve. I know in my state a simple infraction, such as crossing the center line, DOES NOT RISE to the proof needed to charge someone with a homicide. it was a court case back in the late 90's.
Chris: You're just stupid
Certain: It's a comprehensive 73 page report. Get it and read it. The records would be from the cell phone provider, not the police you tool. They aren't going to fake those. No impairment, no phone or computer use, no obviously reckless driving. Don't sound like excessive speed. And yes, if the distraction was be quad he was dialing or texting the state would most liely prosecute him. But there is no evidence of it. Again, can't fake that it comes from an outside source. KSP already paid a settlement and he probably will get sued to. Doubt there are any protections for him to argue in this type of crash. No emergency response or anything else. But it doesn't sound like there is anything to charge him with. And no, everybody involved in a fatality crash isn't charged
- Damian
Negligent driving. Not "accident". Most collisions are pure negligence. If you cross the center line it's not an "accident". An accident is out of your control. Meteor falls on your car, that's an accident. Moose leaps out in fron of you..accident. Cross the centerline, rear end someone, hit a pedestrian? Negligence.
For those who don't have google on thier internet. KY doesn't have a no cell phone law. They have a no texting law. That's it. It is NOT a moving violation(no points) and it's a 25 dollar fine.
@Matt… it is NOT against the law for him to be talking on the phone.
- Ecwforever
No, but it is against the law for him to cross the center line so for that, he should charged and reprimanded severely. Instead, the tiny minded LEOs keep him in charge of driving safety! That's a high level of stupidity even for them.
- pedro
how about reckless driving,,failing to yeild,manslaughter,ect,,there are plenty of things to charge him with,,its rare that a civillian gets off scott free after crossing the centerline and killing someone,,, he got away with it simply because he is a police officer,,and no investigation of a cop is fair and impartial,,,come on,,,get real
- thinkfreeer
NOBODY should go to jail or otherwise be severely punished for an ACCIDENT, unless gross negligence or some similar fault can be proven in a court of law. There is no justice required. Some of you people just want revenge, and as they say you would best dig two graves.
Nevertheless, what the story tells me is that the state and the other police protected one of their own, and as we know, they are professional liars, and they will do whatever it takes. That is also why I will not respond to PSOSGT, T, or Common Sense – ever. I would advise you to do the same.
- Chris Mallory
T, you are a thug with no marketable skills, that is why you are a government employee.
I wouldn't walk across the road to piss on you if you were on fire.
- John Q Public
Thank you Chris for yet another juvenile response.
- t.
@freeer: Îf that's what this story tells you…well, I really don't know what to say about that. I thorough, comprehensive, complete and what appears to be transparent investigation into an awful incident. You apparently just want there to be wrong doing because the police were invovlved. I guess I would just ask you to live up to your moniker. Look at other fatality or even serious injury accidents involving non-police persons. In similar incidents, where there is no clear cut traffic violation (no evidence of excessive speed, no evidence of reckless driving) those people don't generally get charged either. Again, live up to that moniker.
It seems the officers on here are defending the cop and the copblockers are blaming the cop once again.
However, it appears both sides agree this was an accident and not an intentional act of violence. There is a reason it is mandatory to carry insurance for driving a vehicle because if you accidentally harm a person or their property you are covered by your insurance. One thing that can't be recovered is a persons life, and it's very unfortunate these things happen.
So what is fair when it comes to the aftermath of an accident with the loss of life. Yes, money for damages should be paid to the family of the victim. The person who caused the accident should be held responsible for this and by having the insurance to cover it is the best way to pay for it. An accident does not make the cop or anyone else who causes an accident a threat to society. Locking someone up or firing them will not keep them working as a productive member of society.
Perdro.. reckless driving?? So if I see you cross the double yellow line, I should pull you over and take you to jail for reckless driving?? Failing to yeild.. again.. back to my orriginal comment of a simple civil infraction offence does NOT meet the burder to prove any criminal intent or negligence to the point of charging someone with murder.
Manslaughter – again, comes back to the state laws. If mom is driving the kids to school and is driving too fast for conditions(civil infraction), loses control on the ice hits a tree and her kid is killed. Should she now go to prison for manslaughter?
- John Q Public
Kaz, Thank you for being the voice of reason. Of course, on another thread, copblockers were complaining about insurance.
- certain
LOL moron, the 73 page report from the phone company only gives the time the call was made and ended. It's the cop's own story that he ended his call 1 minute before the accident. And that story would be, what's the word? Oh, right – BULLSHIT.
Or maybe he just zoned out and crossed the divider for no reason. Ever hear of Occam's Razor, ass-wipe? It says that the simplest explanation is typically the correct one. Simplest explanation here is that he lied about when he got off the phone, and was in fact involved in a conversation, got distracted from driving and killed someone.
PSO – Stop playing word games. Nobody here is saying jail him because he crossed the center line. Being on your cell while driving is extremely dangerous, akin to driving while intoxicated. As a LEO, he would have known this to be the case. Yet he chose to be on the phone regardless of his knowledge of the imminent risk he was creating. Sounds suspiciously like voluntary vehicular homicide to me. But, as the DA will have absolutely no interest whatsoever in proving the cop lied about when he got off the call, he will face no repercussions.
@certain: So let's get this straight…(for the record of your ansolute stupidity)…the records from the cell provider (an independently owned corporation….one not associated with the government) shows that his. Ell phone was t being used (as in not active on any tower) and YOU still think he was talking on his phone?!?! And you think your not stupid?!?! Evidence shows that he couldn't have been talking in the phone, but still somehow in your head, he was still talking on his phone. Wow, colossally stupid. And as for your Occam's razor reference…absolutely….but you didn't follow the whole thought through…the most simple thing…that he just drifted across the center line (and in the picture it looks like maybe 12-15 inches across) is most likely exactly what happened. Wow, you can't even get your own arguements right. Tool
@certain, explaining the law and how it applies is not playing word games. I'll give ya'll an actual case. Last winter we had a vehicle lose control on slippery roads. Crossed the centerline hit oncomming traffic and someone died. The MOST we could've charged that person with was violating the basic speed law – per the prosecutors office. We don't have a vehicular manslaughter charge. Does Kentucky? Did anyone bother to even look?
Yes talking on the phone is not a smart idea, but imminate risk?? If it was I should be able to stop anyone on throad I see on a cell phone and charge them with careless or reckless driving…well….I can't. And even states that HAVE cell phone laws can't. Cause it's a simple civil infraction. How about changing the radio station? looking over to grab your cup of coffee? BOTTOM LINE…a simple civil infraction offence doesn't meet the standard to prove the higher crime you all are beating off to charge this cop with.
- shawn
While I'm with you on this story, you do know that one minute is within the margine of error for such an incident? I doubt anyone checked the time when the wreck happened. And what clock did they check?
These charges probably don't apply to LEOs:
criminally negligent homicide, involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving, failure to maintain control, improper lane change, failure to obey a traffic control device, excessive speed….
- t.
@BJ: There clearly isn't any evidence of any of those things. So be quiet while the grown ups talk.
@Shawn: We are back to the RS, PC, and BRD standards. As it appears (without the report in front of us) not only do we not have BRD (btw…its not "beyond any doubt", its beyond a REASONABLE doubt…pesky "reasonable" word again) we don't have PC. With no excessive speed, no reckless driving, certainly no intent, and according to the investigation no signs of any "distracted driving". What does that leave? Looks like it leaves a horrible accident and a big civil settlement.
@t. Any of those charges could and most likely would be brought against any non-LEO under these circumstances to be argued by a defense attorney in a court of law. It's no surprise that the KSP would bring no charges against one of their own in a case where the officer was clearly culpable in a fatality.
Police don't care about RS, PC, or BRD in bringing charges against non-LEOs when fatal accidents occur. SOP when it involves a LEO is: bring no charges, take months to conduct a "thorough" investigation while any possible publicity fades from the public's consciousness only to find their officer innocent of any wrongdoing.
No surprises here.
- t.
BJ: the grown ups are still talking.
LOL A grown up would reply with an intelligent response so in your case one has to wonder…
- t.
@BJ: The problem with my replying to you is that it appears to give you some sort of legitamcy. You argument / statement is so clearly wrong and without merit that I this routinely proven wrong by the very website you posted it on.
The e idence is exactly that. Evidence. Investigations gather the evidence to be looked at in its entirety. Exhibit A would be the photo attached to story and what it shows. And what does it show? Exactly what I said it does. There isn't even that much in the way of intrusion into the passenger compartment of the mustang…it just happens to be the what there was, was at just the wrong spot. From the minimal amount of intrusion it certainly doesn't appear as though there was any high speed although it was clearly high enough (probably a 90-100 mph closing speed impact) to produce move the mustang backwards about 2 feet from the impact.
Now most accidents of this sort end just like i - t.
End up just like I said…no charges and a civil settlement (wow…just like this one). So now that you have proven me right (thanks but I didn't need the help on this one)….and shown that you have no idea about how things really work and just take a very small sampling of incidents and then make blanket statements about all….the grown ups are talking, shhh.
Interesting technique, claim a reply has no merit simply because it was posted here and not because it lacks merit. You appear to have a significant ego problem if you believe it takes a response from you to give anyone's reply legitimacy.
I hate it when people criticize spelling and grammatical errors when someone posts a coherent response but in your case any criticism would be justified. Mature adults respond with well thought out points not juvenile insults. As you've shown yourself to be incapable of the former one would have to assume you're the latter.
Like I said the process and outcome in this case (the trooper has not been criminally charged nor has he been disciplined for this incident) were of no surprise given the parties involved.
- t.
BJ: Again, you make nice pronouncements about things….but the evidence doesn't bear out anything that you say. In other words, you lack legitimacy as you ignore the facts in front of you and decide that just because you want something different, there must but a conspiracy about it. And you wonder why I responded that way? Your post is clear proof.
- What is wrong with you people?
What is wrong with you people. The officer appears to be at fault in the accident and the Kentucky State Police will be civilly liable. Accidents happen of this nature happen all of the time with civilians and people do not go to prison, insurance companies just have big settlements. WHY DO AUTOMATICALLY WANT BLOOD ON AN ACCIDENT WHEN A COP IS INVOLVED? Cops are humans, and so are mistakes. It's called an "accident", not an "intentional". MORONS!!!!
- Ed
firstly, we are only taking the word of whomever was on scene as to the ACTUAL time of the crash, who's to say that this officers cell phone wasn't in his hand when the accident occurred, just the officer, no one else. Secondly, to say the accident occurred at the same time it was reported makes no sense, if the accident was reported between 3:47 and 3:48 and the officer's phone was hung up at 3:46 as stated in the report, then it stands to reason he actually WAS on the phone at the time of the accident as reporting of said accident doesn't happen instantaneously. someone had to call in the accident correct? someone had to explain there was an accident, time doesn't stand still at the time of an accident so reasonable deduction must come to the conclusion that the officer, more likely than not WAS on the phone when the accident occurred.
@ed: Wow but that is some crazy deductions you made. The person he had been taking to says the call had ended, the cell phone company says the call had ended…but you don't believe that and add some interesting theory to the mix. Now the officers air bag went off. And while I've never been in a crash to have the air bags go off, I've worked hundreds that have. And if he was still on the phone….and that airbag hit him….the chances of him being able to 1) still hold on to the phone when the airbag hit him and 2) somehow after hitting the other car and being hit with the airbag still have the ability and presence of mind to hang up the phone is, to say the least, a huge leap in not very good logic. Your "reasoning", as in it "stands to reason" isnt really all that reasonable, or even reasonable at all. Your own arguements preclude your "deduction" and "conclusion".
Good try though.
@T — you never really addressed in your last post the scenario presented by Ed. Here's an important quote from the local TV station's story: "But records indicated that call ended at 3:46 p.m., one minute before the reported time of the accident, estimated at between 3:47 and 3:48 p.m." So, they've got the end time of the phone call in black-and-white, but the "reported" time that the accident is "estimated" to have happened is only about a minute different. I think Ed's got a legitimate question — is there a way to know beyond a reasonable doubt that the phone call wasn't a factor? We can't even compare the timekeeping devices involved to see if they're synchronized because one of the times is only "estimated." It's entirely conceivable that the "estimated" time was a bit generous – we're only talking about seconds here – and he was in the process of ending his call when the airbag deployed. If he's in the process of ending his call – and being distracted by it – then he's probably ending his call like a lot of people do: arm outstretched, looking at his phone to hit the proper button. Everyone understands that even if the phone call was the primary factor, it doesn't make him any more/less liable — but it does help establish what the hell caused him to cross the center line, which has never been established & which the victim's family & boyfriend want to know. Without an answer to that question, how can the KSP ever say the investigation is totally complete? Also, does KSP not have a rule or regulation about personal cell phone use while driving, especially while on duty? My job doesn't even require me to drive, but my boss prohibits personal calls on company time. Why should Trooper Biven or any other KSP trooper be making personal calls to a strange woman's (not his wife) cell phone while he's on duty? It doesn't pass the smell test. If KSP doesn't have a rule about driving while using a cell phone, even in the absence of a state law re: the same, they should after this incident, or they learned nothing at all.

R: Now you used the term "beyond a reasonable doubt". Where have we heard that before? Oh, as in innocent until proven guilty"beyond a reasonable doubt". That burden isn't "beyond ANY doubt". It has to be "reasonable". Look back at the discussion here. The all the time cop haters (such as Glenn) keep offering up "unreasonable doubts", despite independent evidence to the contrary of what he wants it to be.
As for phone use. If its legal for you to do it…why shouldn't it be for the officer? Phone use has become indespensible in today's law enforcement. Most complainants want a call before we arrive.
This looks like exactly what it is…a horrible accident with a tragic outcome. But they happen everyday, all over the nation and world. You are desperately wanting it to be more because a police officer was involved. A bias approach will lead to a bias outcome.
- t.
R: I came back to this as I think you might think I'm still not answering the question. Look back at my comment on 11/30 @ 1058. I will ask you…have you every been in a serious crash, one where not only is there a serious impact but an airbag deployment? As I stated, I haven't. But having investigated 100's, it is bedlam inside the vehcile,. The idea that the officer retained control over the phone during this incident is well beyond common sense and nearly beyond comprehension.
Now your scenerio may have occurred. So let's work through it. Now I don't live or work in Kentucky, so cut me a little slack as I don't know the statutes there. Now they may have a "distracted driving" xtatutue that if there was evidence that he was using the phone and caused the accident, he may be charged. Where I live its a misdemeanor…and simple using the phone wouldn't violate it, even with the crash.
Now I understand that you (and many here) are upset because this is an officer involved crash and someone died. Get it. But the thought that everyone gets charged for every accident or even every fatality crash is just simply not correct.
Hope that answers your question.

Do you not agree? (2) The officer wasn't on the phone with a complainant, so that's a straw man argument. The phone call was personal in nature, inviting closer scrutiny.
This looks like exactly what it is…a horrible accident with a tragic outcome. But they happen everyday, all over the nation and world. You are desperately wanting it to be more because a police officer was involved. A bias approach will lead to a bias outcome.
—–@T: I don't desperately want anything (please show me where I indicate otherwise) except for KSP to completely investigate the circumstances (I don't think they have) and offer an explanation to the family & boyfriend of the victim (they haven't) AND institute policy that might prevent a similar occurence in the future, especially if personal cell phone use while driving was a contributing factor.
—–@T: My reply to your 2nd response from above.

But having investigated 100′s, it is bedlam inside the vehcile,. The idea that the officer retained control over the phone during this incident is well beyond common sense and nearly beyond comprehension.
—–@T: Actually, I have. You are right; it is pandemonium inside the vehicle. I don't think anyone has argued/will argue otherwise. Where has anyone reported that the trooper retained control over the phone? In fact, in the scenario I proposed, he could very well have terminated the call AS the airbags deployed. To the best of my knowledge it has not been reported anywhere whether his phone was in his hand, his pocket, his cupholder, on the seat or in the floor after the accident, so there's no way to know whether he retained control of it or not. Besides, the first thing the body typically does in the even of a sudden impact is to tense up. Had he been holding the phone at the moment of impact there's still a very good chance he would have continued to hold it throughout. Anyone who's been in an accident can tell you that you're sore for days afterward, even if you didn't hit your body against any hard surfaces. It's from your muscles tensing during the impact. Even so, that's irrelevant. Whether or not he retained control over the phone during the accident doesn't mean it was/wasn't a contributing factor.
Now your scenerio may have occurred. So let's work through it. Now I don't live or work in Kentucky, so cut me a little slack as I don't know the statutes there. Now they may have a "distracted driving" xtatutue that if there was evidence that he was using the phone and caused the accident, he may be charged. Where I live its a misdemeanor…and simple using the phone wouldn't violate it, even with the crash.
—–@T: I personally don't care if he is/isn't charged. What I want to know is what caused the accident. That's what the family and boyfriend of the victim want to know, too. And the citizens of Kentucky deserve to know if KSP (1) wants to know what happened, and (2) is going to take steps to prevent it from happening again.
Now I understand that you (and many here) are upset because this is an officer involved crash and someone died. Get it. But the thought that everyone gets charged for every accident or even every fatality crash is just simply not correct.
—–@T: I'm not upset. I'm actually pretty dispassionate about the whole incident. But I AM troubled by KSP's lack of conclusions in their investigation, especially in regard to the phone call. With the KNOWN time of the phone call and the ESTIMATED (a key word) time of the accident being so close together as to raise the question "How accurate do we know the estimated time to be, or do we?" it is maddening that KSP apparently is satisfied with shruggin their shoulders and saying they're satisfied that 1 minute is enough margin of error for them to totally discount it. I'd argue that a 1 minute margin is MORE than enough to warrant a much, much closer look.
Hope that answers your question.
—–@T: It doesn't, but it did provide me with a better understanding of your perspective. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it.
- t.
R: I also appreciate the opportunity to exchange ideas with an adult on this site. But I will ask, really…what more is it you want KSP to say or find out about the phone call? He say he wasn't on the phone. The person he had been talking to says they weren't on the phone. And the phone company says he wasn't using the phone. What avenue would you want KSP to godown about the phone thing?
The report concluded that the trooper was a fault. He crossed the centerline by what looks to be 12-15 inches and hit another vehicle. It is a very common type of crash with an uncommon result of a fatality. A few inches either way and it most likely been a very different result.
Its a tragedy. The KSP thoroughly investigated…as they should. But again I'll ask, what else do you think they should be looking into?
@T: Thanks for your reply.
What I think is missing from KSP's report is not an attibution of fault (they clearly say the trooper was at fault), but an answer to the question of "Why?" That's an answer you will not find in the report. Even the title of the news story that prompted this thread is "KSP report leaves questions in fatal accident involving trooper." Unanswered questions are the basis for the news story & for the comments on this thread.
When's the last time you saw a report released after an investigation into a fatal accident involving only civilians that didn't give some reason as to the cause of the accident? Impaired driving, texting while driving, falling asleep, etc.,etc. Those are all causes that are commonly mentioned in accident investigations, but a cause is the one thing missing from KSP's investigation.
Here's what I –and a lot of other people– are afraid might have happened: an admission by KSP that this trooper may have caused a fatal accident because of personal cell phone use while in his cruiser and on duty would have been devastating to the agency, potentially resulting in overwhelming public ridicule, a multi-million dollar settlement, increased regulation and oversight & the loss of a trooper who otherwise, by all accounts, did a satisfactory job. This one incident could have ruined the trooper's life, ended his career & shaken the agency to its core — all because of a momentary lack of judgement and discretion on this trooper's part.
What I think KSP should look into a lot deeper is the KNOWN, DOCUMENTED time of the call as it relates to the REPORTED, ESTIMATED time of the accident. The difference is so miniscule as to raise serious questions, thus the thrust of the story from the local TV station.
He says he was off the call? He also doesn't give any reason for crossing the center line, so how accurate is his memory of the event? He says the last thing he remembers is taking a drink of a Coke, but the Coke bottle was found on the floor WITH THE TOP ON. Does that not raise a question as to the accuracy of his statement? She says they were off the call? That could very well be, but she's in a different location & couldn't possibly know how long it took him to hang up, or whether or not he was doing anything else with his phone once their conversation ended, right? Her opinion is meaningless. His statements don't answer any questions — if anything, they raise more of them. The one thing that IS obvious is that he was distracted — whether because of fiddling with his phone or his beverage — because he can't say why he crossed the center line.
What does KSP need to look at further? Why was the trooper distracted, and what can they do to prevent that same distraction from happening to other troopers.
Also, even IF the phone call wasn't a contributing factor, it DOES seem inappropriate for it to have happened (1) while he was on duty (2) driving his cruiser. A call to a complainant is a different animal — but still one that could be handled differently and with less potential for distraction — but a personal phone call while on duty & driving his cruiser is a completely unnecessary distraction that should be prohibited.
- t.
R: let me go to the last paragraph first. If its legal for everyone else to talk on the phone (or drink a coke) why should it be outlawed for the police?
As for the female that he called opinion. It doesn't count? Huh. She says she wasn't talking to him…how does that not matter? Glenns (and now your) whole argument was that he was on the phone. She says his wasn't talking to her. The phone company says the phone wasn'tbeing used. No offense, but what part of that dontmyou get?
As for the coke on the floor. That makes a lot more sense. Taking a drink, put the top on and BAM. Makes a butt load of sense. As that's very real world.
The report / evidence ruled out excessive speed, DWI, reckless driving, racing,. Those are the common reason for open road serious accidents (as apposed to intersection crashes). That why it leaves questions. None of those things happened, but yet there is still a falatity crash. You are still wanting there to be something more…something else that the trooper had to be doing wrong…simply because its a trooper. This wouldn't be a story if it wasn't a police officer involved.
As for the civil suits and all the attention. Dude, if haven't figured it out yet, that still happened. Their report can't and doesn't try to stop any of that.
- TheNoWhereMan
The final offical report on KSP Trooper Biven's accident reveals more questions than answers. For example: tests of Trooper Biven's urine revealed traces of citalopram, but found no traces in his blood. Citalopram is used to treat ailments such as depression, anxiety and panic disorder, OCD, et al.
The report fails to explain why Trooper Biven was taking citalopram, or where he obtained it, since a prescription is required for it. Or why he had stopped taking it. (The report found traces in his urine but not in his blood, which indicates that he had stopped taking it and the citalopram was filtering out of his system.)
So… I have to wonder if whatever he had that required medication played a factor in the accident.

Your empties are hitting the back of the ejection port. If you look closely, you'll see brass marks there. Does it dent brass with factory ammo? If not, you could switch to a different powder/load. If you're absolutely in love with your current load, a solution to late ejection is to tune the extractor and swap your ejector for one with a longer nose.

230 gr FMJ over 5.5 gr of Uniques is the same load I use for hardball when I load it.
As DnPRK said, the ding is from the rear edge of the ejection port. If the port has not been scalloped, most of your brass will pick up the ding. It is caused by the extractor holding the brass very tight and the nose of the extractor being too sharp and not releasing the brass as the ejector strikes the case. Fit the extractor (bolt face to hook clearance, radius the tip of the extractor) and make sure the extractor is not clocking (rotating in place when you fire). If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, it is a relatively simple task for a gunsmith. I wouldn't worry too much about the ejector, it seems to be hitting the case hard enough to drive the case against the port.

Date Assessed: | 2012-05-06 |
Assessor(s): | Ariano-Sánchez, D., Acevedo, M. & Johnson, J. |
Reviewer(s): | Bowles, P. |
Justification: This species is listed as Critically Endangered because it has a very restricted distribution (extent of occurrence approximately 0.7 km2), is present in one location, and is subject to a continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat from logging for firewood. |
Range Description: | This lizard is endemic to the northwestern mountains of Guatemala (Sierra de Los Cuchumatanes), where is has been collected at elevations between 2,800 and 2,900 m asl. (Köhler 2003, Wilson and Johnson 2010, Ariano et al. 2011). The extent of occurrence is estimated at 0.7 km2 (from estimation of forest remnants where the species has been collected (D. Ariano pers. comm. 2012). |
Countries: | Native: Guatemala |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | There are no quantitative data on population size and trends for this species. It is suspected that the population may be decreasing from loss of forest habitat. |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species inhabits montane moist forests (Wilson and Johnson 2010). It is an arboreal species and has been found in bromeliads in recently logged trees (D. Ariano pers. comm. 2012). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Use and Trade: | Information on use/trade was not available for this assessment. |
Major Threat(s): | The main threat is habitat loss from logging for firewood (Ariano et al. 2011). In addition, an infestation of pine beetles has been killing the pine trees within the forest, and the loggers are switching to oak trees. |
Conservation Actions: | This species is not present in protected areas. There are ongoing education programs with local villagers to protect this species. There is a process for a communal reserve.Conservation needs include improved habitat protection, and better information on the species' population trend. |

Definition of Mononeuritis multiplex
Mononeuritis multiplex: Inflammation of two or more nerves, typically in unrelated parts of the body. Mononeuritis multiplex causes a loss of function in the muscle tissue that is innervated by the affected nerves. For example, sudden loss of the ability to lift the foot normally while walking (foot drop) can be caused by mononeuritis multiplex, when it is accompanied by loss of nerve function elsewhere in the body. There are many causes of mononeuritis multiplex, including diabetes mellitus; infections, such as AIDS, Lyme disease, and leprosy; sarcoidosis; and connective tissue diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, cryoglobulinemia, and Sjogren syndrome. The treatment for mononeuritis multiplex depends on the underlying cause.

Centre of India Trade Unions (CITU) Activists laid siege to the city Collectorate on Thursday, demanding equal pay for equal work for contract and outsourced workers employed in works of permanent nature.
In a memorandum submitted to the CITU district collector, V. Seshadri, Greater Visakha Nagara Committee (GVNC) general secretary M. Jaggu Naidu and president P. Venkata Reddy noted that the minimum wages for workers employed in the GVMC, Autonagar, industrial estates, small industries, and shops and establishments, and 72 other scheduled employments should be fixed to ensure that they were not below Rs.10,000 a month, besides payment of Variable DA.
They noted that under the Contract Labour Abolition and Regularisation Act (1970), the contract system was not allowed in works of a permanent nature.
The Act was not being implemented by the Centre after 1991.

Atomic Force Microscopic Visualization of Identical Site on Cell Surface with Different Probes | |
Authors: | Y. Ohta, T. Kobayashi, H. Okamoto and T. Okuda |
Affilation: | Toyo University, JP |
Pages: | 245 - 248 |
Keywords: | atomic force microscopy, functional visualization, immunological reaction, subtraction method, red blood cell |
Abstract: | For these several years Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been widely used for visualization of biological samples with high resolution on nanometer scale. Whereas any biological information regarding specific reactions, such as immunological function, cannot be detected because of non-specificity of molecular force reacting between a probe and sample surface. The aim of this study is to visualize a function of a cell, in particular, to detect specific reaction on surface of a cell membrane by AFM. The point of our method is subtraction of the data measured by different probes: by subtracting the data measured by an antibody-fixed probe from those by a regular one, immunological reaction can be determined. As a first step, we developed the technique which enabled AFM to visualize the same area on sample surface with different probes. |

Currently, the next lowest price is $199 at Adorama.
Oh no....not Onkyo again.just google "problems with Onkyo receivers" and then make up you mind.....ya ya....I know they were bought by the Gibson guitar Co....who cares.....they have a track record of issues and a track record of not helping resolve them with customers. Over heating and HDMI problems are 2 of their biggest....
Interesting.... i've had Onkyo receivers for the past 5 years without even 1 issue. My current one (TX-SR608) has been fantastic.... I must admit, i'm not an audiophile by any means, but it works great.

The memory capacitor went bad in my 506b after about 3 years. Loses all settings when the power goes out. Poor design.
If on a budget look for a used Yamaha receiver. I bought two 995s for $100 and $140 each and they have proven to be indestructable. Purchased used and still going strong after 5 years of heavy use and abuse driving a vatriety of both high and low efficiencvy speakers. Not McIntosh quality but awesome bang for the buck. Just my two cents...

The first National Summit on Retirement Savings, called for by the Savings Are Vital to Everyone's Retirement Act of 1997 (SAVER Act) was held on June 4 - 5, 1998 in Washington, DC. The Summit was co-hosted by the President and the Congressional leadership in the House and Senate. The SAVER Act calls for a second Summit in 2001 and a third in 2005.
The National Summit brought together experts in the fields of employee benefits and retirement savings, key leaders of government, and interested parties from the private sector and general public. The delegates were selected by the Congressional leadership and the President, and represent the diversity of thought in the field without regard to their political affiliation.
The purpose of the Summit was to increase public awareness of the importance of retirement planning and to identify ways to promote greater retirement savings by all Americans. The Summit was a great resource for sharing ideas to advance the public's knowledge and understanding of retirement savings. As called for in the SAVER Act, this Summit was a public/private partnership planned by the U.S. Department of Labor and the American Savings Education Council in consultation with the Administration and Congress. This bipartisan Summit was presided over equally by representatives of the executive and legislative branches.

Directors: Bruce Seven, Bionca (I)
Company: Bruce Seven

Morgan Navarro, Tony Tedeschi, Missy (I), Sean Michaels, Mark Davis, Jake Steed, Johnni Black, Angela Faith, Sindee Coxx, Lovette, Nyrobi Knight
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
While this series needs to rediscover its roots, Takin' It to the Limit 10 is still very stockable, since anything Bruce Seven and/or Bionca does is gonna be in demand; even when on auto-pilot, those two can't help but produce hot, nasty shit.
In Vol. 10, that includes the always-sizzling Missy getting roasted on a two-dick d.p. spit, and an equally frenetic performance from Sindee Coxx as Nyrobi Knight practically double-fists her pussy.
The remaining two scenes, meanwhile, both have their moments, but simply don't come close to Takin' It to the Limit.
