HAZARD—The Knott County man who fatally shot a well known Perry County physician nearly four years ago learned his own fate this week as he was sentenced to serve the next four decades in prison.
John C. Combs was ushered into the Perry County Circuit Courtroom in shackles on Thursday as several members of the late Dr. Dennis Sandlin's family looked on from across the room. Combs sat at the defense table, stolid and quietly as Judge John David Caudill presided over brief procedural matters before allowing comments.
Danielle Sandlin, Dr. Dennis Sandlin's daughter, approached the podium where she made her first public comments about the case since Caudill issued a gag order in 2010. Combs's sentencing represents a new chapter, she said, but it does not represent an end as she and the rest of her family will have to live with what happened to her father for the rest of their lives.
She made note of the fact that Combs has never shown remorse or taken responsibility for his actions that took the life of her father in December 2009, when Combs entered the Leatherwood-Blackey Clinic and shot Dr. Sandlin after Sandlin reportedly refused to issue a prescription for narcotics.
"You walked into a nonprofit clinic, supposedly to get treatment from a doctor who would pull his own wallet out to pay for a patient's medication, and you say that he made you angry because he said you didn't have insurance," Sandlin said. "And we know that's probably not exactly what happened. Mr. Combs, we're not here because of anything my father did, we're not here because of anything my family did. We're here because of you and your actions. You chose to murder Dr. Dennis Sandlin, and I'm not sure if he hurt your feelings or wounded your ego, but it's because of you that my family is suffering, Dr. Sandlin's family is suffering, as I'm sure your family is suffering, and I hope one day you will take responsibility for what you did and stop blaming everyone and everything else."
Sandlin said her family has received love and support from the community, and will continue to do so. And while Combs, now at age 49, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, she assured him that Dr. Sandlin's family will be present for every parole hearing.
"I hope you live every day thinking of my father's face before you pulled that trigger," she added, "because he deserved to live."
Judge Caudill proceeded to issue a sentence in the case, following the plea agreement entered in July that called for 40 years to serve on one count of murder. Subsequent counts of tampering with physical evidence, burglary, and terroristic threatening were dismissed. He will be required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.
Caudill also took the time to make his own comments on the case, agreeing that Combs has shown no emotional response while in court, and only claimed any type of responsibility during comments he made to probation officers.
"Specifically, I recall the day he took the plea," Caudill said. "He blamed everybody but himself that day. He has shown absolutely no remorse whatsoever in court."
Caudill added Combs has attempted to blame Dr. Sandlin's murder on others, but by his own actions, Combs has affected several people, from the Sandlin family to his own. He said he hopes the state parole board takes into account Combs's failure to take accountability.
"To my eyes, you have never shown the first remorse for what you did, and I think if the system works this is a life sentence, and I hope the system does work in your case," Caudill said. "I hope you don't make parole, because you've shown no reason for it to be granted."
Combs's only verbal output during the hearing was a request to speak, which Caudill denied.
Caudill ordered Combs to be transported to a state prison as soon as possible. He is currently being held at the Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard.

Pfeiffer Baseball Alum Yates Named CVCL Offensive Player of the Year
September 13, 2013
By Paul Horner
MISENHEIMER, NC - Former Pfeiffer University baseball standout Jacob Yates has been named Offensive Player of the Year by the Carolina-Virginia Collegiate Baseball League (CVCL) the league announced recently. Yates, spending the majority of his time as an outfielder, played with the CVCL's Virginia Cardinals for the 2013 summer season. Yates also saw some time on the mound for the Cardinals during the summer, serving as the team's hurler for six games.
Yates, the logical choice for Offensive Player of the Year, amassed a league-leading batting average of .410 for the 2013 season and also led the CVCL with a .526 on base percentage. Serving in the leadoff spot for the Cardinals, Yates also earned league All-Star status for his staggering offensive statistics. Yates played in a total of 23 games for the Cardinals during the summer season, getting a hit in all but seven of the contests.
"I am proud of Jacob's accomplishment," said Head Coach Dusty Blake. "He is a very talented player and a hard worker. He had a great summer."
During his three years in a Falcons uniform Yates certainly made his mark on the program. In 2013 Yates played in 49 games and enjoyed a .320 batting average and a .405 on base percentage. As a junior in 2012, Yates compiled a batting average of .283 and an on base percentage of .374 while starting in all 50 games. In his first year as a Falcon, Yates started in all 49 games as a sophomore and broke out with a .332 batting average and a .411 on base percentage. Yates was also named to the 2011 Conference Carolinas All-Tournament Team during his time at Pfeiffer.
Yates currently is an Assistant Baseball Coach at Danville Community College in Danville, VA where he serves as the hitting coach and works with position players.

- Hundreds of Census Bureau workers could change or lose their jobs. That's because Census plans to close six of 12 regional offices as a cost-cutting measure. The closures will affect 330 employees, about five percent of Census' field workforce. But agency leaders are expecting a net loss of only 130 jobs as some employees will be able to take jobs at remaining regional offices or at headquarters. Over the next 18 months, the bureau will close offices in Boston; Dallas; Detroit; Charlotte, North Carolina; Kansas City, Missouri; and Seattle. Employees not receiving preference hiring with other federal agencies will get help with resume preparation and job searches. (Federal News Radio)
- Anxious to jump into cloud computing? You'll have to hold your breath a little longer. Sources tell Federal News Radio, the final set of certification and accreditation requirements under FedRAMP will now be released sometime between August and October. GSA, DHS and DoD originally hoped to finalize FedRAMP by the end of June. The extra time is also delaying use of GSA's infrastructure-as-a-service blanket purchase agreement. One source says the slowdown is the result of 30 new requirements dumped on the process by GSA. (Federal News Radio)
- Today is Defense Secretary Robert Gates' last day on the job. Gates sent a farewell memo to all military personnel. In it, he acknowledged the sacrifice of military members and their families and honored their service. He said his admiration and affection for service members is without limit, and he will think about them and their families for the rest of his life. Gates also called his tenure as Defense Secretary the greatest honor of his life. The Defense Department has posted a retrospective of Gates on its website. Gates oversaw two wars for two different administrations over the last four and a half years. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta takes over as Gates' replacement tomorrow. (Defense Department)
- The government has sent a plane equipped with radiation monitors over the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory. A 125-square-mile wildfire is burning close to the lab. Flames have forced closure of the facility and put scientific experiments on hold. Lab authorities described the monitoring as a precaution. They said they're confident the blaze won't scatter radioactive material. Lab Director Charles McMillan said nuclear materials are all accounted for and safely put away. Los Alamos is protected by a 10-mile fire break line. One spot fire jumped the line and started burning on lab property but it was quickly extinguished. (Associated Press)
- The Obama administration's plan to sell off unneeded federal buildings will end up costing money, not saving it. A Congressional Budget Office analysis estimated the plan would cost $420 million from 2012-2016. CBO is also skeptical of the administration's claim that sales would net $16 billion in new money. It said that's because many of the properties would have been sold anyway in the normal course of business. CBO sent its analysis in a letter to Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. (Congressional Budget Office)
- The mishandling of remains at Arlington National Cemetery has prompted a broad Justice Department criminal inquiry. The FBI has joined Army agents investigating possible criminal practices at Arlington National Cemetery that may have surrounded the burial of eight sets of cremated human remains found in urns in a single grave. A federal grand jury in Alexandria is subpoenaing witnesses and records relating to the scandal. Their goal is to track down evidence of contracting fraud and falsification of records. The probe goes along with several ongoing inquiries by Congress. A law passed last year requires the Cemetery to verify every one of its 330,000 graves. It also gives the Government Accountability Office power to look into Arlington's contract management practices. (Associated Press)
- The Senate took the rare step of curbing its own power Wednesday, voting to no longer require Senate confirmation for 169 high-level federal jobs filled through presidential appointments. Most of those jobs are second-tier Cabinet positions such as assistant secretaries and deputy directors that typically don't inspire partisan wrangling. The Senate hopes this will curb the number of nominees that often hang in limbo for months because their confirmations get drawn into other fights. The bill passed 79-20. (Associated Press)

1859 U.S. Coast Survey Map of San Francisco Bay and Vicinity
Description: An uncommon example of the 1871 U.S. Coast Survey progress and triangulation chart or map of coast of California from Point Sal to Tomales Bay, including San Francisco Bay and San Pedro Bay. The map identifies numerous cities throughout including San Francisco, Napa, Benicia, etc. Progress maps of this sort were made to illustrate work of the survey and accompanied the Superintendent of the Survey's annual report to Congress. Compiled under the direction of A. D. Bache, one of the U.S. Coast Survey's most influential and prolific superintendents, for issue in the 1859 annual report to Congress.
Date: 1859 (dated)
Source: Bache, A. D., Report of the Superintendent of the United States Coast Survey, (Washington) 1859.
Cartographer: The Office of the Coast Survey, founded in 1807 by President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of Commerce Albert Gallatin, is the oldest scientific organization in the U.S. Federal Government. Jefferson created the "Survey of the Coast," as it was then called, in response to a need for accurate navigational charts of the new nation's coasts and harbors. The spirit of the Coast Survey was defined by its first two superintendents. The first superintendent of the Coast Survey was Swiss immigrant and West Point mathematics professor Ferdinand Hassler. Under the direction of Hassler, from 1816 to 1843, the ideological and scientific foundations for the Coast Survey were established. These included using the most advanced techniques and most sophisticated equipment as well as an unstinting attention to detail. Hassler's devised a labor intensive triangulation system whereby the entire coast was divided into a series of enormous triangles. These were intern subdivided into smaller triangulation units that were then individually surveyed. Employing this exacting technique on such a massive scale had never before been attempted. Consequently Hassler and the Coast Survey under him developed a reputation for uncompromising dedication to the principles of accuracy and excellence. Unfortunately, despite being a masterful surveyor, Hassler was abrasive and politically unpopular, twice loosing congressional funding for the Coast Survey. Nonethelss, Hassler lead the Coast Survey until his death in 1843, at which time Alexander Dallas Bache, a great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin, took the helm. Bache was fully dedicated to the principles established by Hassler, but proved more politically astute and successfully lobbied Congress liberally fund the endeavor. Under the leadership of A. D. Bache, the Coast Survey completed its most important work. Moreover, during his long tenure with the Coast Survey, from 1843 to 1865, Bache was a steadfast advocate of American science and navigation and in fact founded the American Academy of Sciences. Bache was succeeded by Benjamin Pierce who ran the Survey from 1867 to 1874. Pierce was in turn succeeded by Carlile Pollock Patterson who was Superintendent from 1874 to 1881. In 1878, under Patterson's superintendence, the U.S. Coast Survey was reorganized as the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (C & GS or USGS) to accommodate topographic as well as nautical surveys. Today the Coast Survey is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA. Click here for a list of rare maps from the U. S. Coast Survey.

Young& Fun Invitations
My future husband and I are a young couple and we wanted to find something FUN and young for our invitations and that is just what we were able to find. Our colors were a little bit wild BRIGHT kiwi green and a pale yellow. We were able to change a lot of the invitation. For an example.. We did the flowers a hot pink, the swirly marks a yellow and the writing and leaves a green. They were able to add both of my set of parents on here too. We were all very pleased with what we got. Magnet Street even called us to let us know that we pick out the wrong size velum and got it all switched around! I highly recommend going through them for your special day!

When Britney came to the ASPCA through the Humane Law Enforcement department, she was in pain and suffering from multiple untreated conditions.
Fortunately, the veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital was able to nurse Britney back to health, and eventually she became available for adoption; we could finally find a home for this sweet dog who had suffered so much.
We knew it would be a challenge.
Statistically speaking, animals who are black, large or senior, as well as those who take medication or can't live with other animals, usually spend more time waiting for homes. Britney was all of these things, and to make matters worse, she didn't engage much with adopters who passed her habitat, preferring to rest quietly.
Still, we knew that the right person would come for Britney, and to speed things along, we spread the word about this special canine. After seeing Britney's picture and reading about her, Kevin Bechard tells us, "I wanted to snatch her right up."
A few days later Bechard was going above and beyond to help Britney settle in to her new home in suburban Connecticut.
"The first couple nights I actually slept on the floor with her because she can't do stairs, and she would just reach out with her paw and make sure it was against me," he recalls. "Only then she would allow herself to go to sleep. If I moved away a little bit, her eyes would open."
The love and comfort of a forever home has revived Britney, who has blossomed into a trusting and happy pup: Bechard reports that at his house Britney loves romping outdoors and goes on multiple nature walks a day.
In return, Bechard has gained a new best friend who, he says, never required house-training or manners instruction, thanks to her age. "I wish more people would consider older dogs," Bechard says. "I was open to anything, but I was so pleasantly surprised."
You're a very lucky man!!! I, too, adopted a lab (yellow lab, 5yrs old at the time, now a happy eight-year-old) who also had to sleep with me, like yours. Jade is the love of my life!!! my constant companion, who spends her days playing ball, tug of war, and taking care of her Mummy! I think people should wake up and smell the coffee! You did! Older dogs are not only trained and housebroken, but they exude sooooo much more love and affection and appreciation: they've come through bad times and have endured to get to us, where they belong! and gratefully, in many ways bestow on us the special love and thankfulness experience has given them. Much love to Brittany, from Jade.
Kevin,this shows that you have a heart of gold and filled with lots of love that you will get back ten fold from Britney. There is no better love than from a dog who shows you every day no matter how they are feeling how very much they love you. Here is wishing you both many, many years of love and treasured memories.
I loved Brittney's story. She deserved that kind of love, and she finally has it. Only if more people could understand how great an old dog is!
Kevin, What a wonderful guy you are! You do know that you are blessed for loving and caring for animals, especially Britney! We hope she has several good years ahead of her in your loving care!
I would like to extend a huge 'thank-you' from all dog lovers to Kevin...I truly hope more people will see this and give these fabulous dogs a forever home. I never understood the love and joy that a dog can give a family until we adopted our girl last October; now she is the biggest part of our lives and we couldn't imagine our world without her!! Again, kudos to you Kevin...wishing you guys all the love and happiness possible!!! Great story :)
God bless you Kevin for becoming Britney's champion!!!
I have always adopted older black dogs. They are the sweetest, neatest dogs ever. There is a wonderful book called "Old Dogs Are The Best Dogs" by Gene Weingarten and Michael S. Williamson. It's filled with beautiful photos and stories of older dogs. I tell anyone who has never considered adopting an older dog to seriously consider it. There is no better feeling than giving an older dog who has been through so much a happy safe place to spend their later years and no greater love than what they will give back.
My sweet Siamese, Sugar Plum, is now 18-1/2 yrs. old. I make a special vitamin mix for her every morning. She asked me not to let my husband put her down, and I have promised her she will live out every day that God gives her, as long as I myself am alive.

When nine-year-old Josef Miles spotted members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church doing their hate-mongering thing on the Washburn University campus in Topeka, he asked his mother, Patty Akrouche, if he could stage a small counter-protest to their message of intolerance.
With just a pencil and small notebook in hand, Josef took on the bigots with a succinct yet poignant proclamation: "God Hates No One."
"Those people are scary but he stood strong, was respectful and stood by his convictions," Akrouche wrote on her Facebook page. "He will be a good man, I have no doubt."

|Campaign website

Altschuler got his bachelors degree from Princeton University and studied as a Fulbright Scholar in Vienna, Austria. He earned a masters in Business Administration from Harvard University. He is the executive chairman of CloudBlue, an electronic recycling service provider.[2]
Campaign themes
Altschuler listed some of his campaign themes on his website:[3]
- "Keeping the promises made to our seniors by ensuring both Medicare and Social Security remain solvent for future generations. Failure to act now will result in either an immediate 17% cut in benefits or a 24% tax increase in order to avoid Medicare going bankrupt in the next decade. That is an unacceptable outcome. Republicans have put forth a serious plan addressing Medicare and now it's time for Democrats to do the same so we can have a substantive national debate on this important issue. Ultimately, there is no Republican or Democrat solution to the problem. Any real reform must have bipartisan support and, unlike Tim Bishop, Randy is willing to lead the way as a Member of Congress.
- Allowing insurance to be sold across state lines to increase competition and lower rates.
- Giving small businesses the ability to pool together and purchase healthcare for their employees as a group to lower rates.
- Putting medical decisions in the hands of doctors and patients, not insurance company executives or government bureaucrats.
- Reforming tenure so that bad teachers are no longer rewarded solely for longevity. Classroom results are what count.
- Merit pay that rewards good teachers with higher pay for the educational success of their students.
- Giving parents the choice to remove their children from failing schools and enroll them in better public schools, charter schools or private schools that can unlock their child's potential and better prepare them for the real world. Or supporting parents who choose to home-school their children.
- Ensuring that federal tax dollars spent on education improve the classroom and are not wasted on top-heavy administrations and glutted bureaucracy.
- Environmentally responsible expansion of domestic offshore drilling to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
- Promoting private investment in renewable energies such as wind, solar, water and bio-fuels that help conserve natural resources, protect the environment and create green energy jobs in the future.
- Ensuring that President Obama's "cap-and-trade" plan – supported by Tim Bishop – never becomes law. We simply cannot afford a national energy tax that will cost homeowners and businesses thousands of dollars more in energy costs for the next 10 years.
- Honoring, respecting and rewarding all veterans regardless of where and when they served our country.
- Improving the VA to cut bureaucratic red tape and ensure that veterans receive the very best medical care and timely, accurate delivery of their benefits.
- Ensuring that veterans returning home from service in Iraq or Afghanistan are provided with a GI Bill educational program that will enable them to receive a first-rate college education or comparable technical training and job placement.
- Increasing funding for intelligence and counter-terrorism operations. There are plenty of places to cut government and reduce spending without weakening our ability to identify, expose and scuttle terrorist attacks before they occur.
- Providing our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world with the tools they need to fight and win the war on terror and then come home to us safe and well.
- Increasing the number of Customs and Border Patrol agents, and providing them with the necessary tools and training to do their jobs.
- Giving states the flexibility and freedom to address out-of-control illegal immigration that adversely impacts crime rates and local economies.
- No bail for illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the United States.
- A prohibition on the granting of drivers licenses, welfare payments or in-state college tuition breaks for illegal immigrants.
- A comprehensive and viable regional peace process that cannot be imposed, there must exist tangible and concrete confidence gaining steps between Israel and her neighbors.
- Jerusalem as the undivided and eternal capital of Israel.
- Israel's right to security and self-defense. We must ensure and strengthen Israel's qualitative military advantage over potential adversaries.
- Dissuading Iranian hegemonic ambitions through robust economic, diplomatic and political sanctions. Iran's aggressive pursuit of nuclear capability, coupled with the recent advances in its medium- and long-range ballistic missile technology, constitutes an existential threat to the State of Israel and a grave and serious threat to the United States and our European and Arab allies.
- The further promotion and nurturing of economic cooperation, business interests and technological research and development between the United States and Israel."
Altschuler ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent New York's 1st District. He sought the nomination on the Republican, Conservative and Independence Party tickets and was unopposed in those primaries.[4]
With incumbent Tim Bishop running unopposed in the Democratic primary, 2012 was a rematch of 2010, when Bishop beat Altschuler by a very narrow margin. Altschuler was seen as posing a serious threat to Bishop in 2012.[5]

Home » Walt Disney World Attraction Reviews » Magic Kingdom » Fantasyland
it's a Small World
Reviews Views 91 16526
Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 8.0
Description: Year Opened: 1971
The legend has it that if you ride it's a small world at Disney World or Disneyland, the song will stay in your head forever, its a small world after all. It's cool to diss this ride as a cliche or for being just for kids. People will tell you that they avoid it like the plague.
These are the same people that will turn around and moan that the Carousel of Progress should be saved, or that they never should have taken out Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Their reasoning is that these are Walt Disney's legacy (this should be said in an extremely reverent tone.)
Let's talk about that. Many of the older, or original, if your prefer, attractions at Disneyland and Disney World have Walt's touch. Walt and his team of Imagineers, led by artist and designer Mary Blair (who also created the huge multi-story murals on the Grand Canyon Concourse at Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort), created it's a small world as tribute to the children of the world for the UNICEF pavilion at the 1964/65 World's Fair. The Sherman Brothers, responsible for a big chunk of Disney music (i.e. Mary Poppins) originally wrote the theme song as a ballad. Legend has it that Walt told them he needed something peppy that would last throughout the ride. It was decided that the song you love to hate was sped up and sung as a round. What you see today is very close to Walt's original attraction for the World's Fair. Seems like a pretty good pedigree to me.
After the World's Fair ended, it's a small world was moved to Disneyland, where it remains one of the park's premiere attractions, even after a controversial update that had classic Disney characters added to the attraction. Those additions have NOT (as of yet) been made to the Walt Disney World version of the attraction.

Lloyd Garnet Cantley MD
C. N. H. Long Professor of Medicine (Nephrology) and Professor of Cellular and Molecular Physiology; Vice Chair, Research
Research Interests
Nephrology; Acute Kidney Injury; Physiology and integrative medical biology; Epithelial cell migration and morphogenesis; Epithelial cell adhesion; Migration; Branching tubulogenesis
Research Summary
Our laboratory is interested in defining the cellular pathways that regulate kidney epithelial development and repair and determining the effector proteins that mediate the actual morphologic changes that occur during tubule formation. We have found that macrophages are critical regulators of both initial injury and subsequent repair, and that cross-talk between macrophages and surviving tubular cells determines the macrophage expression profile that induces tubule repair. We have identified the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and MAPK pathways as critical regulators of epithelial cell migration and morphogenesis and have identified a novel role for ERK at the cell membrane as a key activator of focal adhesion complex turnover.
Extensive Research Description
The primary focus of our laboratory is to determine the mechanisms of renal tubule development and repair. When the kidney is injured following ischemia or toxin exposure, the remaining epithelial cells de-differentiate, spread over the denuded basement membrane, divide, and re-arrange themselves in a specific pattern to regenerate functional tubules. This process requires a complex array of events involving rearrangement of cell shape and regulation of cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. By examining epithelial cell adhesion, migration, and branching tubulogenesis in response to growth factors such as Hepatocyte Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor, we are determining the intracellular signaling events critical for tubule formation during kidney development and following injury. We have focused these efforts on the role of activation of specific MAPK isoforms as well as the PI 3-kinase in the regulation of cell morphogenesis and cell-matrix interactions.
In addition, we are examining the role of the innate immune response to kidney injury and found that macrophages home to the injured kidney and initially promote apoptosis of sublethally injured tubular cells. Subsequent macrophage accumulation includes increasing numbers of alternatively activated macrophages that promote the survival and proliferation of the remaining tubular cells to effect tubule repair.

All Blacks coach Graham Henry has named an unchanged starting line-up for Sunday's World Cup final against France.
Unlike the 2007 tournament where the side was changed from game to game, Henry has coveted consistency and built some momentum with the existing combinations. Adam Thomson is the only change to the 22, and will replace Victor Vito on the bench.
The All Blacks boast an impressive win record under Henry, but they are yet to win a World Cup. Henry admitted that this would be a motivating factor.
'I've been with a lot of these guys for a long time and although they may be ranked the leading team in the world, they've never been world champions,' Henry said. 'It would be just marvellous to have that title because they've had every other title that's going in rugby apart from this one.
'So for Richie [McCaw] and the boys I think that would be fabulous and you don't deserve that title till you do the job. I think they're good enough and that would be the icing on the cake.'
The All Blacks coach said the team would not underestimate France.
'This French team, we're not sure who's going to turn up, quite frankly. So we've got to prepare that they're going to be the best in the world. They've certainly got the individuals to do that, it's just whether they can produce that as a side. All the word is that they've prepared well and they're very focused and they're enjoying the underdog tag.
'They feel that they're not being considered in this final by a lot of people. We don't think that. We think they're a very good rugby team.'
If the All Blacks win the final, they will retain their No 1 world ranking.
New Zealand – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Cory Jane, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Richard Kahui, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tony Woodcock.

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Java)

Here is how the "scam" plays out.
Seller sells the wheels
Scammer reports that he only got 2
Seller reports a claim to UPS
Scammer reports a claim to paypal
Seller refunds the money
Scammer collects the money
Sellers claim with UPS is resolved with the wheels being delivered to the person.
So in this situation, the buyer/scammer would get 4 wheels and 1/2 his money back.
What Gaston SHOULD do, in my opinion, is file the claim, BUT ALSO TELL UPS THAT IF THE PACKAGE IS FOUND TO RETURN IT TO YOU AND NOT TO SEND IT TO THE BUYER
The default method is to ship it to the destination. I do believe UPS will charge you for the shipping to your residence/work, but its better than losing all the money.

There is a strong possibility that Cliff Milton will be playing for France in the near future.
The former Bulls lock spent the majority of his career in South Africa watching from the wood or the stands as Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha played yin to the other's yang. A star at national U21 level, Milton is held in high regard in South Africa, and was expected to make the step up to Test rugby.
However, a prodigious talent like Milton would inevitably become frustrated at being continually overlooked, even though he realised that competing against the world's best lock pairing was always going to be a big ask. And when that frustration met the opportunity to trade pastel blue for the shocking pink of Stade Francais, the 22-year-old saw a future that involved significantly less splinters.
Even at this early stage of his career with the Paris-based giants, and with limited game time, Milton's performances are causing quite a stir. He's occupied prime position in France's leading rugby publications, and many respected European rugby personalities are convinced that his international future lays in a blue shirt, not a green and gold one.
"There have been a few influential people mentioning me as an option for France in a couple of years and the French public seem to want me to stay and play a part with the national side," he told keo.co.za.
"It's certainly an option and I will consider playing for France when that time comes (in two years). To play for the Boks will always be my goal but, again, if France approach me the choice will be pretty simple."
"The reality is that there are probably guys ahead of me in the queue. At least I think in the selectors' mind there will be," he said. "So I'll just have to keep grafting and hopefully make it really hard for them to ignore me."
With Matfield and Botha set to be entrenched as the lock pairing for the foreseeable future and others like Johann Muller, Albert van den Berg, Barend Pieterse, Ross Skeate and Andries Bekker lining up to succeed them, Milton could be hanging around for a while before realising his dream of playing for the Springboks. France, conversely, have a shortage of quality locks, making it a far more viable option for Milton if he hopes to play Test rugby.
Milton, who played under Springbok coach Peter de Villiers in the World Championship winning U21 side in 2005, says their relationship is "good". He is, however, a realist and is not expecting De Villiers to come calling when he meets with some of the European-based players in February.
Asked what he thought of De Villiers's appointment ahead of his former Bulls mentor Heyneke Meyer, Milton said: "Peter has taken a lot of unfair criticism. He is a very good coach with huge potential. If he's given the freedom to select the side he wants without any political interference, I think he'll be very successful."
For a self-confessed farm boy, Milton has taken to Paris with surprising ease. He spends his free time sampling French cuisine at Paris' numerous restaurants. "I love the fact that every restaurant has a unique aura about it. You don't get many franchises over here, so eating out is always a great experience," he said, adding that former Cheetahs lock and Stade team-mate Boela du Plooy is a constant companion.
"I like the cheeses and I'm getting into rabbit, and it goes without saying that the wines here are some of the best in the world. I'm also becoming more interested the whole art scene," the 2m, 105kg Nelspruit-born bruiser continued. "Boela and I went to see a Vincent van Gogh exhibition recently and it was amazing to see pieces of artwork I've only ever seen on television right in front of me.
"Paris is a great city. The people here are really laid back and not too concerned about material things, although they love their fashion. I'm still catching up in that department."
Bakkies Botha's five-year contract extension in late 2007 sealed the deal in Milton's mind. Stade Francais it was.
"I feel more appreciated here," he conceded. "All I wanted was a chance to prove my worth and I never got that. At one stage I was so desperate to play that I joined up with Pretoria Police Rugby Club so that I could get some game time and that was a great experience because I was out there doing what I loved instead of watching from the bench.
"Then I got a chance in the Currie Cup and I think they [the Bulls] realised my value so they made an offer. I wanted nothing more than to stay, but Bakkies had a long term deal so it didn't make sense to sign."
Botha could of course be a Toulon player soon. That's got to be frustrating? "No not all," he counters. "I have no regrets.
"God taught me a valuable lesson while I was here. He made me realise how big the world really is. My frame of reference was always confined to Pretoria, but being able to spend an hour or so on a train and be in Belgium or Spain has made me hungry to see and learn more about the the world. He [God] taught me that money was a finite thing and that the rat race was one sporting event I didn't want to be involved in. The experiences you have and memories you make have enduring value.
"I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything."

Through the invasion of Czechoslovakia the Germans got a reasonable tank in the LT-35, but they also got a better tank in the LT-38, otherwise known as the TNHP-8 or, in German service, as the PzKpfw 38(t) (t=tschechoslowakish). The LT-38 shared many features with the LT-35, like riveted and bolted armor (weaker than welded armor), the same crew and high silhouette. It was, however, also faster, had a greater range and better cross-country performance because of its high power-to-weight ratio, in spite of its narrow tracks. The LT-38 was produced by C.K.D. (Ceskomoravska Kolben Danek), which was renamed Praga by the Germans who preferred a simple name. The vehicle remained in production as a tank until 1942, and the chassis was used in the Marder III and Hetzer tank destroyers, the Bison self-propelled gun, and Flakpanzer 38(t). Others, like flame-thrower and engineer versions were also produced in small numbers towards the end of the war.
The PzKpfw 38(t) was very essential to the German Army and Waffen SS; at one time it made up 25 per cent of the Panzer divisions' strength. From 1941 onwards it was outmatched by Allied tanks, but it continued to serve until the end of the war. The tank used Christie-type suspension even though it was changed to include two return rollers above and in between the first two roadwheels on each side. The vehicle was tough and field maintenance was easy. The Germans made improvements to the commander's vision blocks to help tactical deployment. Prior to the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, Sweden ordered the LT-38. During 1939-40 the Reich continued delivery, which was canceled just before the invasion of Russia. Sold Out!

Historical Account: Blitzkrieg (German for "lightning war") is a popular name for an operational-level military doctrine which employed mobile forces attacking with speed and surprise to prevent an enemy from implementing a coherent defense. The doctrines resulting in the blitzkrieg effect were developed in the years after World War I as a method to help prevent trench warfare.
Blitzkrieg was first used on any serious scale by the German Wehrmacht in World War II. Operations early in the war�the invasions of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union�were highly effective, owing to surprise penetrations, enemy unpreparedness for massive exploitation and an inability to react swiftly enough to the superior German military doctrines. The Germans faced numerically superior forces and technically superior vehicles in the invasion of France, proving the early effectiveness of their tactics and strategies. From this peak, the Wehrmacht's cohesion deteriorated. Heinz Guderian, an early implementor of the blitzkrieg, was relieved of command on December 25th, 1941, for ordering a withdrawal which contradicted Hitler's "standfast" order.

The Abstract Factory Pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme. It embodies the intent of a normal factory, i.e. remove the need for code using an interface to know the concrete implementation behind the interface, but applies to a set of interfaces and selects an entire family of concrete classes which implement those interfaces.
As an example, I might have interfaces Button, TextField and Scrollbar. I might have WindowsButton, MacButton, FlashButton as concrete classes for Button. I might have WindowsScrollBar, MacScrollBar and FlashScrollBar as concrete implementations for ScrollBar. Using the Abstract Factory Pattern should allow me to select which windowing system (i.e. Windows, Mac, Flash) I want to use once and from then on should be able to write code that references the interfaces but is always using the appropriate concrete classes (all from the one windowing system) under the covers.
Suppose we want to write a game system. We might note that many games have very similar features and control.
We decide to try to split the common and game-specific code into separate classes.
First let's look at the game-specific code for a Two-up game:
Now, let's look at the game-specific code for a number guessing game:
Now, let's write our factory code:
The important aspect of this factory is that it allows selection of an entire family of concrete classes.
Here is how we would use the factory:
Note that the first line configures which family of concrete game classes we will use. It's not important that we selected which family to use by using the factory property as shown in the first line. Other ways would be equally valid examples of this pattern. For example, we may have asked the user which game they wanted to play or determined which game from an environment setting.
With the code as shown, the game might look like this when run:
If we change the first line of the script to
GameFactory.factory = guessFactory, then the sample run might look like this:

SuperSport will broadcast two major schoolboy games on Saturday – the Paarl Gym–Paul Roos and Affies–Grey Bloem clashes.
The two matches will headline this weekend's round of 1st XV fixtures.
Paarl Gym will host Paul Roos in a Western Cape derby. The two schools have impressed against the top teams around the country. However, Paul Roos have been inconsistent in over the last few weeks, with defeats to Grey PE (23-19) and Tygerberg (22-20).
Paarl Gym have only suffered one defeat (against Affies) this year, and are in great form as they come off big wins over Tygerberg (75-3) and Bishops (57-3).
The game in Paarl will be televised on SS5 at 11:50am.
Affies also host a highly-anticipated clash against Grey Bloem, which was a fixture that was rained out last year. Affies have suffered two defeats this year (against Waterkloof and Paul Roos), but come off a good 34-11 win over Pretoria Boys' in the annual Pretoria Derby.
Grey Bloem lost their three-year winning streak against Paarl Gym at the Kearsney Easter Festival, but have won all their other games in 2012. They come off a 54-5 win against Selborne last weekend and will be aiming for a major away scalp against Affies.
The match in Pretoria will be televised on SS1 at 2:45pm.

|Moffitt and All Children's Transplant Programs Awarded Accreditation
Moffitt and All Children's Transplant Programs Awarded Accreditation
Tampa, FL (June 6, 2007) – H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute's Blood and Marrow Transplant program and the All Children's Hospital's Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant section have been accredited as a unified program by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT).
While this represents a re-accreditation of the adult section at Moffitt, it is a first accreditation of the pediatric section at All Children's. "The joint program accreditation by FACT illustrates the growing strength of commitment between Moffitt and All Children's in collaborating to advance care and research for patients of all ages," said Dr. Claudio Anasetti, who is the new Moffitt program director.
"It is clear to the inspection team that the affiliation between All Children's and Moffitt results in a single transplant program as defined in FACT standards," FACT inspectors wrote. "This is an outstanding program that was very well prepared for the inspection."
"This is another chapter in a history of collaborative care," said Dr. Michael Nieder, All Children's Blood & Marrow Transplant director. "By collaborating with Moffitt, we're really affording more children access to cutting-edge treatments that could offer them hope, prolong their life and hopefully even cure them."
The accreditation for both hospitals is effective for the next three years. It applies to all services and facilities that were inspected by FACT, specifically adult and pediatric autologous and allogenic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation, bone marrow and peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) collection, and cellular therapy product processing.
About H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute
Located in Tampa, Florida on the University of South Florida campus, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute (www.moffitt.org) is the only Florida-based cancer center with the NCI designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center for its excellence in research and contributions to clinical trials, prevention and cancer control.

Moffitt's sole mission is to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.
About All Children's Hospital
All Children's Hospital (www.allkids.org) is the only freestanding children's hospital on Florida's West Coast and a leader in pediatric treatment, education, research and advocacy. It has consistently ranked among America's top 25 children's hospitals in comparative studies done by Child Magazine, which rated All Children's Hospital as the best in Florida in 2007. All Children's has also garnered Most Outstanding Business awards from the Tampa Bay Business Journal and the Greater St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce.
The mission of this private, not-for-profit hospital is rooted in its beginnings as Florida's first Crippled Children's Hospital for polio victims. All Children's understands that it's not enough to treat disease -- that true progress comes from teaching and research to cure disease. All Children's shares its pediatric expertise through research & education affiliations with the University of South Florida (USF Health) as well as the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.
As a regional referral center for children with some of the most challenging medical problems, All Children's draws patients from throughout Florida, all 50 states and 36 foreign countries. Growing regional demand is such that construction is now underway on a new hospital and outpatient center to replace the current 40-year old facility.

DEEP RUN — South Lenoir has never won a conference championship in football.
Its junior varsity team can be the first with a win tonight.
The junior Blue Devils will host Clinton at 7 with the victor earning the East Central 2A Conference championship. Both teams enter tonight's game unbeaten in league play.
"It feels good," sophomore lineman David Morales said. "We haven't ever done it before so we might as well give it all we have out on the field."
Coach Fred Kennedy said he felt he had a good team when the season began, but never envisioned his team would be playing for a conference title.
Since losing their season opener to Eastern Wayne — Spring Creek didn't field a JV team and the Kinston game was canceled due to weather — the Blue Devils (7-1, 6-0) have reeled off seven straight wins.
"When the season started I thought we'd be pretty competitive. I thought we had a chance, just by the nature of the offense we run and the defense we run, to be competitive in every game," Kennedy said.
"To have a chance to play for the conference championship, I didn't think we'd be there but the kids have played hard, they've been working hard and they've done a great job all year long."
Not only has South Lenoir been playing hard, it's also been blowing out conference opponents.
According to scores posted on Maxpreps.com, the Blue Devils have outscored their league foes 224-131.
"It's just the effort they've put out on the field," Kennedy said. "It's real simple what we do on offense and real simple what we do on defense. They just line up, they play hard and they make plays."
Considering the struggles the varsity team has had this season, Morales feels the future of South Lenoir football looks bright.
"If we give it all we have and continue to succeed, I think the JVs have brought a whole different attitude to the team," he said. "Down the road I think we have a good chance at (winning in) the future."
Sophomore running back Noah Stroud said if the team was to win tonight it would be great but that it would also be the beginning of next season as varsity players.
"It's never happened at school before, but then (the season is) over after that," Stroud said. "Then we have to get ready for next season."
Kennedy feels confident in making history as long as the Blue Devils perform the way they have in their six previous EC2A games.
"Just keep doing the little things right — hold on to the football and not turning it over, playing hard on defense with everybody getting to the football," he said. "If they do those things it could be a good game for us."

Meet a Specialist: Kathryn Colby, M.D., Ph.D.
Kathryn Colby, M.D., Ph.D. has served Massachusetts Eye and Ear in many different capacities since she first arrived for an ophthalmology residency almost 18 years ago. A committed believer in the three-pronged mission of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Colby is now a busy cornea surgeon who sees patients, teaches medical students, residents and fellows, and is actively conducting research into blinding diseases of the cornea.
One of Dr. Colby's areas of expertise is Fuchs' Corneal Dystrophy, which is an enigmatic condition in which the inner layer of the cornea (the transparent dome that covers the pupil) stops pumping fluid from the normally clear tissue. When this happens, the cornea becomes water-logged, thickened and cloudy, which causes painful blindness. Besides spearheading laboratory studies of this condition, Dr. Colby has been actively involved in advancing new surgical techniques, such as DSEK and selective endothelial transplantation, to treat patients with Fuchs' Dystrophy.
Dr. Colby is also an expert in the management of tumors on the surface of the eye and she has recently begun a study to determine if cancer stem cells play a role in conjunctival melanoma, a rare but potentially deadly eye cancer that is similar to skin melanoma.
Dr. Colby's real love, however, is caring for patients with complicated corneal diseases and passing that knowledge on to those in training. "It's gratifying to be able to show talented young people why you love your specialty," she says.
Dr. Colby, who earned her doctorate in neurobiology at Brown University, is also actively involved in clinical research. She played a role in the recently-approved implantable miniature telescope that helps treat end-stage macular degeneration. She is also part of an ongoing clinical trial that is evaluating the safety and efficacy of collagen cross-linking to stop the progression of keratoconus, a condition in which vision is reduced due to an abnormal shape of the cornea.
"Being at a place like Mass. Eye and Ear allows me to offer my patients cutting-edge treatments, including experimental therapies," says Dr. Colby. "Helping patients, after all, is the real reason we are all here."
