Grand jury indicts 47 in April
The grand jury will convene again May 19.
Some of the more noteworthy indictments are listed below.
•Kenneth Couch, 60, was indicted for manufacturing a hoax explosive. Couch prompted a bomb scare in Sterling Feb. 26, when he went to the Eastern Loudoun County Sheriff's Office in Sterling drunk and claimed there were explosives in the area. Police found a package with an explosive initiation system, which was rendered safe.
•Muhammet Faith Erdogmus of Fairfax was indicted for strangling another to cause injury and misdemeanor assault and battery of a family member, both stemming from a Feb. 20 incident.
•Aaron Joseph Lee Estrada of Aldie was charged with felony assault and battery of a family member from a situation Feb. 20. Estrada has previously pleaded guilty to an assault and battery charge in 2007.
•Jason Odell Greene of Middleburg was indicted for rape of a child under 13 for incidents taking place between June 1, 2012, to Sept. 3, 2012.
•Brian K. Hill of Leesburg was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery. He is scheduled to plea May 23 in the Loudoun County Circuit Court.
•Mehran Muhhamad Haq of Herndon was indicted with four counts of felony obtaining money by false pretenses and four counts of embezzlement related to incidents in the fall of 2012.
•Samuel Tyler Johnson, 20, of Chantilly is charged with abduction, grand larceny, conspiracy to commit grand larceny, conspiracy to commit robbery, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and one count of wearing a mask in public for his role in a July 24, 2013 robbery of a 7-Eleven in Sterling. Johnson, along with Jonathan Andrew Jones and Darius Trenny Foster, both of Aldie, entered a 7-Eleven at 21944 Cascades Parkway in Sterling with guns, assaulting the clerk before taking money from both him and the cash register. The three then drove to nearby Herndon to try to rob two McDonald's restaurants on Elden Street. After trying to flee by in a 1998 Jeep Cherokee, which they stole from South Riding, they exited on foot before being apprehended by Fairfax County Police.
•Jeremy Elmer Phillips of Ashburn faces a myriad of charges going all the way back to June of 2010. Phillips was indicted with four counts of breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny, two counts of felony destruction of property and one count of grand larceny.
•Daniel Joseph Sullivan of Hamilton was charged with assault, assault and battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting lawful arrest from a Nov. 29 incident.
•Dominique Wilkins Jamal Walker was indicted for possession and transportation of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession and transportation of ammunition by a convicted felon, grand larceny of a firearm and grand larceny of an automobile. Walker stole a car from the parking lot of the Ashburn Shopping Plaza Dec. 1. The car was found off Hickory Corner Terrace, and Walkins was walking around the area. A brief foot chase ensued before Walker was arrested.
Equity should of been indicted for errors in his postings to different threads. When he runs into opposition he changes his tune or more commonly lives up to his alias as the king flip flopper.

Preparing for possibility of early labor
I'd just like to be prepared so I know what to expect if it happens.
Comments (6)
.which is what they tell full term mommies. I also bled for 2-3 weeks and leaked milk for about 2 weeks..so id be prepared for all that. Anyway sorry to hear and goodluck!
A born & died on 12/16/11 at 20 weeks // B born on 8/31/12 at 23 wks&1 day, home after 145 in the NICU!
I delivered triplets at 18 weeks and was given all of the same discharge information that I recieved when my son was born at 39 weeks. It was my first pregnancy and I was not anticipating the pain from the contractions considering I was only 18 weeks pregnant . I asked for IV pain meds and those helped to take the edge off. The pushing was different considering my three babies combined weighed less than 2lbs.
I do not know anything about preterm labor but I did want to give you a blog of a friend of mine who has a 3 month old daughter with T18. If you want someone to talk to or ask questions I know she makes herself very available if you just contact her.

I do landscaping, ground & building maintenance all year around. We can get up to 5 ft. of snow every winter, I work regardless of what the weather is & I need good boots to work in & these boots are perfect!!!

I have stayed at this hotel before and it was great. This time the rooms were not clean especially the bathroom. Breakfast use to be my highlight, however this time, the eggs were burned and they ran out of sausage. Scrambled eggs should not be brown and how do you run out of something when breakfast just started? I can see if breakfast was almost over. Not good planning..

Pavelka's choice of Girardi had been widely panned.
On the season finale, Pavelka professed to being in love with both women, but expressed a stronger physical attraction for Girardi than for Molzahn, who works in college admissions.
Girardi, a marketing representative and former Hooters restaurant waitress, had stirred up controversy among her fellow contestants and the show's fans throughout the season.
Many of the contestants had described Girardi as immature and a source of drama in the house, but she defended herself by saying she was simply being honest, and being herself.
When Pavelka's family members met the two finalists, they preferred Molzahn.
Pavelka's mother Sallie called the two "the perfect couple," but said the other contestants' reaction to Girardi was "a red flag."
Sallie Pavelka later said she no longer had concerns about Girardi and that she was convinced that Girardi loved her son.

Prosthesis Could Restore Sight To Those With Degenerative Eye Disorders
Patients who have lost their sight due to some degenerative eye conditions may someday have their vision restored thanks to a new device developed by experts at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The unit, announced by Stanford on Sunday, is a type of retinal prosthesis that uses miniature cells similar to solar panels, which are surgically installed underneath the retina, along with a special pair of camera-equipped goggles and a pocket computer which processes the information detected from the device.
"The resulting images would be displayed on a liquid crystal microdisplay embedded in the goggles, similar to what's used in video goggles for gaming," the university explains. "Unlike the regular video goggles, though, the images would be beamed from the LCD using laser pulses of near-infrared light to a photovoltaic silicon chip — one-third as thin as a strand of hair — implanted beneath the retina"¦ Electric currents from the photodiodes on the chip would then trigger signals in the retina, which then flow to the brain, enabling a patient to regain vision."
The researchers describe their work in Sunday's edition of the journal Nature Photonics.
"It works like the solar panels on your roof, converting light into electric current. But instead of the current flowing to your refrigerator, it flows into your retina," Dr. Daniel Palanker, associate professor of ophthalmology and co-senior author, said in a statement. "The current implants are very bulky, and the surgery to place the intraocular wiring for receiving, processing and power is difficult. The surgeon needs only to create a small pocket beneath the retina and then slip the photovoltaic cells inside it."
The device is being designed to aid those suffering from retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in North America, and retinitis pigmentosa, which causes approximately 1.5 million people across the globe to lose their sight each year, the Stanford press release said.
"In these diseases, the retina's photoreceptor cells slowly degenerate, ultimately leading to blindness. But the inner retinal neurons that normally transmit signals from the photoreceptors to the brain are largely unscathed. Retinal prostheses are based on the idea that there are other ways to stimulate those neurons," the school said in their press release, noting that the prosthesis uses near-infrared light because of its longer wavelength.
Palanker and Dr. James Loudin, a postdoctoral scholar, were responsible for co-creating and designing the device, according to the university. Loudin is a first author on the study along with visiting scholar Dr. Keith Mathieson, while Palanker's co-senior author is Dr. Alexander Sher of the Santa Cruz Institute of Particle Physics at UC Santa Cruz. Funding for the research was provided by the National Institutes of Health, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Stanford's Bio-X program.

text: Mobile iPad Mini may be unveiled on Oct. 23 — stealing limelight from Microsoft's Surface October 12, 2012 6:39 AM Devindra Hardawar 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Most recently in the iPad Mini rumor mill, we heard that Apple was going to send out invites on October 10 for an event on the 17th. Well that date has come and gone without a peep from Apple. Now it looks like the company may be aiming for a launch event later on October 23, sources tell All Things Digital. Given Apple's history, invites will likely be sent out next week. It's particularly interesting that Apple would launch its smaller iPad at the end of this month, because that's right before Microsoft's bevy of product launches. Microsoft's Surface tablet will begin shipping just three days later on the 26th, which is also when the software giant is launching Windows 8, its new operating system meant for desktops, laptops, and tablets. Apple's timing certainly isn't coincidental — the iPad Mini is the perfect thing to deflect attention from Microsoft's Surface, a device that's still mostly shrouded in mystery since its unveiling in June. Back then, Microsoft was criticized for not having pricing or availability details for the Surface. Now, with a few weeks left to go, we still don't have official pricing. (Microsoft chief exec Steve Ballmer off-handedly mentioned that Surface could go between $300 and $800.) The iPad Mini, which is expected to feature a 7.85-inch display to compete with the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, will likely sell for $250 to $300. For tablet shoppers on a budget, it could end up being more tempting to holiday shoppers than the Surface. "I think the timing is more than coincidental," said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, in an e-mail to VentureBeat. "But I also think that Apple wants to say look, we are the kings of the tablet world and let's see what you guys have to try and knock us off. So far, the competition has been pretty weak." Gold added, "But one thing Apple has been hearing loud and clear is that one size does not fit all, and there is real pent-up demand for a smaller 7 inch device. So they are announcing a pre-emptive strike to get ahead of the holiday buying season and lock in a lot of potential "other" purchasers." iPad Mini mockup via Macotakara

My wife and I have been playing MMO's a long time. I started back with UO while my wife started with EQ. The games we have played the longest is UO, EQ, SWG, Wow. What we like about MMO's is crafting and fun quests / level game. Were not in to end game to much for it all seems to be about raids these days. After much talk we have been thinking about buying this game even though we said we would pass for a few months after past experiences with new MMO's.
My first question is how is crafting? If you gather yourself over your companions do you gather faster? How does crafted gear compare to quest gear? What concern me about crafting is it all seems automated to the point why bother.
My next question is the pace of the game. In modern MMO's the pace to end game is way to quick for us. I have read that people are all ready at the end game which is way to fast in my book. How fast are you going in this game? Would like to hear a few posts on how you play and where your at level wise?
My next question is exploring. Does Star Wars do a good job with this? I know from what I read it seems early on this is not true. How about later in the game?
My last question is housing. I understand you get a ship for this. How does this work? Anyway to customize the ship in anyway?
Thanks for any replies.

1. if you go out and collect nodes in the world, it is much faster way of gathering than just sending companions out on gathering missions. its also a money saver since those gathering missions cost credits. most quest reward gear is either green or blue(green being the lowest and blue the next up). if you do alot of crafting and then reverse engineer the gear, you can get recipes for the next tier of that gear. so if you do it alot, then yes you can get better gear. however you will either need to get the mission crew skill that goes with your craft so you can get the mats for the blue and higher crafts or you need to buy those mats from the Galatic Trade Network, or GTN(basicall the AH).
2. cant speak on the pace of the game for you. however i will say it is unlikely you will complete all quests by the time you hit cap. and those the lvl cap mostly skipped through the story, so if that is something you plan to do, it will likely go quite quick. personally im going fairly quic(quicker than i would have thought) but that is because i am very excited to see where my story is going.
3. as you get higher lvl, the planets open up more. by the time you hit tattoine, make sure you have 48k credits to get your mount as you will likely be sorry without it. by exploring and not following where the main quests guide you, you can find side quests you wouldnt have otherwise found, lore items that add entries to you codex, and datacrons which are items that give a small stat boost and codex entry. the early datacrons are pretty easy to find and get, but they get much tricker very quickly. you also get a small amount of exp for finding areas
4. your ship isn't really customizable yet. the only thing you can do for it, is give it upgrades to help in the space game which dont change the look of the ship
hope some of this helps

* Crafting in SWTOR is in my opinion a solid system, but by nature of its design works a bit in the background, so do not expect something like Vanguard crafting. Can wear stuff you make on leveling, it works, but you'll need to really keep doing it to keep it up with your quest rewards. It has a good sense of progress, though, and ties in pretty smoothly with the companions aspect of the game. Some crew skills (that's what crafting is called in this game) play a part in instances. Using them you can open a shortcut or tame a beast in an instance to aid you, for example.
* Exploration is not exactly charming but is somewhat rewarding. Some of the environments are a bit too guided (think corridors), some cut up and closed off (this is mostly for cities, though)... There's the Datacrons, of course, that you get to find... They give permanent boosts to your attributes, so that's the game encouraging you to explore. In Nar Shaddaa there's this speeder that'll fly you to a datacron somewhere in the city - if you can get to said speeder, which is way down somewhere! :) Still, SWTOR's universe feels much fragmented (which makes sense, it consisting of planets), that's a bit of a turn-off to an explorer like me. And the worlds themselves do not feel as alive as they could have, so I seldom thought "Let me go and see what's up there, it looks cool!", like I do in Skyrim or Vanguard or, I don't know, even Everquest. Though planets do open up more as you level and Tatooine is a solid change in that regard.
* The pace is honestly how you want it to be. Listen to the quests, do side quests, throw some PVP and space missions in there and I don't think you'll level up too quickly. It felt right to me, though I did keep on outleveling my class story because of getting into warzones (instanced PVP battlegrounds) everytime one came up. The warzones give a load of XP and money, by the way, by the time I could train for a speeder I had the money to do it 3 times over - and it's supposed to be very expensive!
* Housing... Well, having a ship is nice, but it's a bit like theKOTOR ship, to be honest. Can't decorate it. It's just an instanced place you keep your companions and access your cargo (bank). You do get combat upgrades, but it's not visual customization. Frankly Bioware should really work on this.
But here's the most important part:
Despite my reservations and annoyances with the game, I have to say this is the perfect story-based MMO for duoing. You'll constantly get multiplayer dialogue, which to me is the single most brilliant invention Bioware did with this game... You'll also keep getting social points for it, with which you can buy some really fun gear (such as Sandman outfit or Slave (Leia) outfit). Here and there an NPC may respond to two players being a group, which was fun and unexpected to me. Also, you will be able to duo some flashpoints using both of your companions when you outlevel them by a few levels.
So I say: Don't take it on your usual MMO terms, and give it a go if you like a story-based experience. Duoing works very well with what it is.

Or the powertech in the group fixing some machinery which caused the drill to open up the wall for a shortcut.
Its not necessary or anything, but its cool stuff like that which really gets you into the game. The game has been full of interesting moments like that, which has really got me hooked. Ooohhh look, a mysterious skull.... lets click it!

Thanks for the replies. One question I forgot to ask if anyone can take the time. How is the challenge in the game as you level? Would you say it is harder then Wow? If it's pretty easy like Wow how about if you drop your companion and go solo how is the challenge?
The question about Vanguard. The problem I had with Vangaurd was I never saw anyone. This made the game boring to my wife and I for it's missing the social part of a MMO.

If youre planning on buying it for xmas and playing it on xmas day. I would buy it now and start downloading it. Ive been downloading the client for the past 12 hours. Its taken me four hours to download 1 gig....yes 1 gig... 100kb/s right now. Extremly unimpressed with that. Great game though :D. Also for the record I have an extreamly stable and the fastest internet money can buy. The forums are going crazy with some people that have been downloading for 2-3 days already.

Aside from a few quests here and there, it isnt overly challenging below level 30 (keep in mind that I am a MMO vet, newer players might not have the same experience).
Once you get to about level 30 the mobs start getting more challenging. My tank companion dies fairly often, and thats with using crowd control, interrupts and throwing some wards / heals on him. You cant just run in and AoE everything to the ground, and mobs rarely exist by themselves, its always groups.
Thankfully you can use your environment to your advantage, blowing up nearby pipes and setting large groups on fire, blowing up crates of dust and making them choke (crowd control) giving you some time to pick them off.

In the beginning, it is way too easy. You'll probably get bored of combat and it will fall upon the story and dialogue to hook you through the initial stages of the game. Especially if you duo, it'll be a walk in the park, though definitely more fun because of multiplayer dialogue. Of course, you can ramp up the difficulty manually *by pulling more than one group*, this is what I did whenever I duo'd with a friend. :) (You don't get companions till you're close to level 10 anyway)
The first flashpoint is also quite easy. If you want to make it challenging, two players + 2 companions will do that, given you've not outleveled it. Though you'll get fewer social points (social points are: number of players in group x 2 if you win the dialogue dice roll and get to be the one that does the talking, number of players in group x 1 if you lose the dialogue dice roll and listen to another player talking).
You also have "heroic quests". This is basically group quests. If you get fewer than 4 players for a quest that says 'full group required", you're going to have a hard time.
From level 30 on, the game becomes noticably harder. If you dismiss your companion, you'll have a really, really rough time, even a silver mob (standard, which is the second weakest type of mob) may make you reach for a medikit if you're without a companion and not careful (though duoing, it'll still be easy). Even with your companion, some "strong" mobs will give you a really hard time. I routinely see people asking for help for doing their end of act encounters.

I downloaded the game in just over 1 hour and that was for beta but i decided to change my win7 to 64bit ( which btw made a huge diff to the game) and i downloaded the patchs after installing the game from discs in less than a hour so i not sure why you guys are haveing problems DLing it.
But back to the topic yes i would buy this if they not sold out i went to my local game store and i was talking to the owner and she told me they have sold over 700 copys since launch and are getting another 700 plus in the next few days. She also told me the best selling/ordering item atm is SWToR game cards . It wasnt a seles pitch btw cause the owner is a relation of mine and she knows i allready own two copys of it.
I live in a small city with a pop not much over 30k in Ireland so i find 700 sales huge for a game

this game is bent rp yes even on pvp server!this might sound bad but it is actually well done,a bit too fogriving tho.like if you dont chose the proper path for your companion to have affection for you you can press excape and chose differently(might be harsher on rp server (like you chose and your stuck with it (dont know)and the way it is made is fairly emotional there are very sad moment andvery funny moment in the quest try to have a group that arent bent on doing quest in 1 second flat and you ll enjoy this game it is like playing a movie or close to it .dont get me wrong this is a la guild wars but insanelly well synced and acted.
this make a huge difference.and so far it seams the world are huge it is instanced but very seemlessly you get loading a bit more then wow.but you wont notice!i think it is a great game!is it worth the money?mmhard to say for other but if you re into rp with very different kind of pvp (in pvp it isnt the most deadly player that win cause in there the goal isnt to kill to win the goal is to play ball!a lot forget this and loose!(cause it take too long to kill someone by the time you kill him ort her your team lost(i love this insane idfea that even if you pawn the other you almost always loose lol)ya for me this game is worth its penny i wish the quality had been put up a not or two.i dont mean the style it is painted style i dont mind that i main the granularity like they put the game pixellation at the highest possible size you see the freaking pixel.if they supply setting to correct this (wich isnt a very big thing)this in my book is the best game in its own genre that have been released in years

48-year-old Bablu fell ill and died due to cold yesterday, claimed the organizer and the village head Hafiz Kauser.
A riot-victim has died in a private relief camp at Barnawi village in the neighbouring Shamli district here.
48-year-old Bablu fell ill and died due to cold on Friday, claimed the organizer and the village head Hafiz Kauser.
Mr. Kauser said that at least 250 people are in the Barnawi relief camp.
Meanwhile, government authorities have shifted 250 families from Madarsa private camp in Shamli town and another 126 families from the Sanjak village relief camp to safer places to prevent them from the cold wave conditions sweeping across the Uttar Pradesh.
More than 60 persons were killed and over 40,000 displaced in communal violence that broke out in Muzaffarnagar and adjoining areas in September last year.
Keywords: Muzaffarnagar riot victims, Muzaffarnagar riot victims camps, riot victims rehabilitation, Uttar Pradesh cold wave

YOU are what your grandmother ate. A study in mice shows that undernourishment during pregnancy increases the chances that the next two generations will develop obesity and diabetes. But then the slate may be wiped clean.
Environmental stresses can alter which genes turn on and off via the addition or removal of methyl chemical groups to DNA. Many suspect these changes can pass on to offspring through sperm and eggs, a mechanism known as epigenetic inheritance.
Anne Ferguson-Smith at the University of Cambridge and colleagues modelled this effect by restricting the diet of pregnant mice. Their pups were smaller than average and developed diabetes when fed a healthy diet. The offspring of the male pups also had a higher risk of diabetes (Science, doi.org/tph).
The sperm of offspring from the malnourished mothers had fewer methyl groups in 111 regions of DNA compared with that of mice born to mothers on a healthy diet. But, surprisingly, when these males had pups, the changes to methyl groups weren't passed on to their offspring, although the higher risk of diabetes remained. The team are now investigating what happens to subsequent generations and the female line.

Nothing is more annoying than having a spark plug go out at the worst moment and then to struggle in vain to remove the old spark plug in order to replace it with a new one. Save yourself from frustration by getting a spark plug wrench in advance! At Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, we carry an extensive selection of dirt bike spark plug accessories. We have several kinds of motorcycle spark plug wrenches, including some for air-cooled heads and others for liquid-cooled heads. We also stock spark plug sockets, gapping tools, holders and caps. In fact, we have spark plug caps that are straight or elbowed. Whatever your preference is, we've got it.
Even with something as simple as a spark plug wrench or accessory, only high quality products will do. That's why we carry the Motion Pro spark plug socket and NGK spark plug caps. And we stock several brands of spark plug wrenches: Bike Master, MSR, Ricochet and Tusk. Remember: A little preparation can go a long way, and never is that truer than when you find yourself at the track or out on the trail with a shot spark plug – even if you brought a spare. Don't forget a dirt bike spark plug wrench!

Got this spark plug wrench to carry on my KX100 for quick plug changes when I fouled my spark plug. It works great. Small size fits easily in my number plate bag with my spare plugs. Ratchet makes the change go a lot faster. Just flip it over to turn in the opposite direction. Very easy to use.Read All Reviews

Nothing inspires a person to conserve the earth's beauty more than spending time in true wilderness. Josh, my supervisor, and I just returned from a ten-day off-trail backpacking trip through the upland wilderness of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in eastern Interior Alaska. We traveled by bush plane, landing on tall grass in an area near Copper Mountain and the upper Charley River.

Something that I knew about SCA, but didn't fully appreciate until recently, is the storied history and shear diversity of the programs that they offer.
My program, for example, is a Residential Corps Program. This means that I share my living space, meals, and community with 22 coworkers at our repurposed Knights of Columbus camp in rural Hawley, Massachusetts.

When I first got word of my summer internship in Grand Teton, I couldn't have been more excited. But there was one nagging doubt on my mind. As an Interpretation intern, I understood that I would wear a number of hats. The one role that gave me some worry, however, was having to present programs. In front of large audiences. All by myself.

Yes, I know that's a long way to travel just for a summer internship.

Minidoka Internment National Monument, Minidoka National Historic Site/NPSsite of a World War II internment camp for Japanese Americans, southern Idaho, U.S., about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Twin Falls. It was designated in 2001 and covers 73 acres (30 hectares).
Records of the War Relocation Authority, National Archives, Washington, D.C.Records of the War Relocation Authority, National Archives, Washington, D.C.The monument preserves part of the Minidoka Relocation Center, one of several camps established in 1942 by the War Relocation Authority as a result of nationwide panic after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. During the war thousands of Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes and reside in camps situated in remote regions of western states. Minidoka housed citizens who had been removed from communities in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska; its population reached 9,397 before it was closed in October 1945. Those confined to the camp were housed in rudimentary quarters; they were made to produce food and clothing for the group and to work to keep the local farms and factories going. After the war the land they had cultivated was auctioned off or given to World War II veterans. The Minidoka camp originally encompassed more than 50 square miles (130 square km) and hundreds of buildings; the national monument preserves the administrative area, including the remains of the guard house and waiting room.
