We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you. 10"Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislike to it)." 11So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy. 12And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient. 13Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon). 14And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach. 15And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal - 16Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes). 17And they will be given to drink there of a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger), 18A spring there, called Salsabil. 19And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls. 20And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion. 21Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink. 22(And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted." 23Verily, it is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) by stages. 24Therefore be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with constancy to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them. 25And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 26And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer). 27Verily, these (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 28It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement. 29Verily, this (Verse of the Qur'an) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah). 30But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. 31He will admit to His Mercy whom He wills and as for the Zalimun - (polytheists, wrong-doers) He has prepared a painful torment.

North Posey suiting up for tonight's big game
POSEYVILLE, Ind. - Joey Priest of North Posey High School will be the guy dressed head to toe in bright green Spandex at tonight's sectional game against Mater Dei in Huntingburg.
The 17-year-old junior will holler his head off for the Vikings, giving special throat to Wildcat foul shooters.
"Green Man will definitely be in the building," Priest said of his alter ego. "He has a wide assortment of hats. Perhaps he'll select a fedora for this occasion."
The well-spoken Priest carries a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and looks ahead to a career in computer networking. He has a keen sense of humor that you'd expect from someone who's comfortable in a full bodysuit.
But there's a trace of sadness behind Green Man.
"I really wanted to be on the team, but I have chronic tendinitis in my knees," Priest said. "After the second day of practice, I knew it wasn't any use. ... It was very disappointing."
He was watching television when he got the idea to become Green Man.
"I wanted to do something to inspire the team, so I got the suit on eBay. Best 60 bucks I've ever spent."
Priest has gone to Indianapolis three times for medical procedures on his knees, but the pain persists.
"But I'm OK to dance and wave my arms as Green Man. ..."
Green Man might retire after tournament play.
"I think I'd like to be a manager next year and help the team that way. I didn't think I could emotionally handle that job this season because I was so close to the guys."
n Principal Scott Strieter, a solid 6 feet 5 inches tall, is big and strong enough to be a good practice partner for the Vikings, "but I don't because I know what I'll feel like the next day."
He was on the basketball and football teams at Reitz High School and played football at the University of Evansville. This is his fourth year as principal of the Posey County school.
"As an administrator, there are definitely fewer discipline problems when the sports teams are successful. Our school spirit is unbelievable. The kids take more of an ownership with everything that goes on inside the building."
North Posey finished the regular season with an 18-2 record, good enough for fifth in the state Class 2A standings. The school has 495 students in grades 9-12.
"There's been a special bonding throughout the week with crazy hat day and crazy tie day," Strieter said. "We've had a lot of energy."
n John Alvey, 16, is the Vikings' mascot.
"It's hard to run wearing the big head and big shoes. I want to do a nice song and dance, but I also don't want to fall down on the court."
He hopes to study hip-hop dance choreography in college.
"Little kids love Victor the Viking, but I stay in character and keep quiet around them. The only ones I talk to are the cheerleaders."
Alvey says he isn't self-conscious as Victor, "but I kind of wanted to keep my identity a mystery and not tell until the end of the season. But I told some friends and they ran their mouths, so it isn't much of a secret."
He plans to do a couple of new routines with Green Man tonight.
"Anything," Alvey said, grinning, "to jack up the people in the seats."
n One of the Vikings' biggest fans is the guy whose day job is to sweep the gym. Jerry Wassmer, 64, has been a custodian since 1995.
"I played basketball here as a freshman, but I wasn't very good," Wassmer said. "I was the guy who went in the game with 10 seconds to play and us way ahead or way behind."
Wassmer knows the several of the players' families.
"This season has been a good ride for everybody concerned. I get superexcited at games."
But Wassmer stops short of wearing Spandex or a giant Viking head.
"I'll holler and cheer in the stands like a regular person," he said.

Virtual co-drivers will make trucks of the future safer
A study shows that 47 percent of all truck accidents take place in monotonous situations such as traffic queues, with vehicles traveling in the same direction
"We quite simply attach eyes to the truck," says Erika Jakobsson at Volvo
The truck of the future could have an on-board digital co-driver that can even take over if the driver loses control
Article Summary
Trucks of the future could be equipped with an on-board digital co-driver to help the human behind the wheel, or even take over if the driver loses control. The HAVEit project (short for Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport) has 28 million euros (USD$40 million) at its disposal and is aiming to develop an intelligent driver assist system that responds to both traffic conditions and drivers' needs.

Latest Toxoplasma gondii Stories
Domestic cats, wild bobcats and pumas that live in the same area share the same diseases. And domestic cats may bring them into human homes, according to results of a study of what happens when big and small cats cross paths.
Researchers from Boston College have discovered a protein that plays a pivotal role in the progression of the deadly diseases toxoplasmosis and malaria and shown that its function could be genetically blocked in order to halt the progress of the parasite-borne illnesses, the team reports in the current edition of the journal Science.
North American babies who acquire toxoplasmosis infections in the womb show much higher rates of brain and eye damage than European infants with the same infection.
Toxoplasma gondii parasites can invade your bloodstream, break into your brain and prompt behavioral changes from recklessness to neuroticism.
Researchers have discovered that male rats infected with the parasite Toxoplasma respond strongly to the odor of cat urine.
New research shows how a brain parasite can manipulate rodent fear responses for the parasite's own benefit.
PARIS and EVRY, France, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellectis (Alternext: ALCLS), the genome engineering specialist, and VitamFero, a biotech company of the Genopole® portfolio developing new vaccines against parasite infections, today announced the signing of a research, development and licensing partnership agreement.
SILVER SPRING, Md., May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On May 18, the U.S.
A parasite that reproduces only in cats but sickens and kills many other animals has infected wildlife throughout a 1,500-acre natural area in central Illinois.
Providing clues into why the severity of a common parasitic infection can vary greatly from person to person, a new Johns Hopkins study shows that each one of three strains of the cat-borne parasite Toxoplasma gondii sets off a unique reaction in the nerve cells it invades.

(5) Net debt and working capital is calculated by subtracting the Corporation's current liabilities, bank debt, and convertible debentures for its current assets and excludes the net proceeds of the October 7, 2011 financing.After drilling 11 wells in the first two quarters of the year, Arcan spud ten wells in the third quarter and established a record quarter for fracturing with one well being fractured in June, two wells being fractured in July, four wells being fractured in August and five wells being fractured in September. Despite significant operational challenges caused by extreme flooding and third party pipeline outages in the Swan Hills area, the Corporation was able to ramp up its activities as the third quarter progressed. The flooding cost Arcan seven out of its ten bridges and the third party oil sales pipelines out of the Deer Mountain Unit #2 ("DM2") and out of the Morse River Unit #1 ("Morse River"). The financial cost to Arcan, in addition to the repairs, was $10-$15 per barrel in operating costs related to the practical difficulties in trucking from oil wells to its facilities and then trucking the Corporation's clean oil to sales, additional road maintenance, delayed well testing and equipping and servicing delays. Despite these temporary operational difficulties, Arcan's significant efforts in the field paid off as production rose allowing Arcan to achieve record quarterly production of 3,684 BOE per day (94 percent oil). Arcan is now seeing the success of its third quarter 2011 drilling program, as September 2011 production averaged approximately 4,000 BOE per day leaving a fourth quarter forecast of 4,600 - 4,800 BOE per day. Based on the results of the first three quarters, Arcan estimates that its 2011 production will average 3,500 BOE per day and is currently on track to meet its 2011 year-end target exit rate to 6,000 BOE per day. In the third quarter of 2011, Arcan's funds from operations were $10.5 million on a 3,684 BOE per day basis with a consolidated operating netback of $41.90 per BOE. Consolidated operating netbacks decreased as a result of oil prices falling to $87.30 from $101.10 per barrel in the second quarter. Although royalties decreased to $16.20 per BOE, operating costs were elevated to $24.33 per BOE in the third quarter. These results compare to consolidated operating netbacks of $39.98 per BOE in the third quarter of 2010 and $55.29 per BOE in the second quarter of 2011. As previously disclosed, Arcan has been strategically procuring the services, equipment, and materials required to execute the development plan in the Swan Hills area. These activities culminated on September 13, 2011 with the StimSol Acquisition. StimSol is a stimulation services company whose business includes an exclusive ten year distribution license for a hydrochloric acid blend called "Stim 28". Arcan has been using Stim 28 in its Swan Hills multi-stage fracture program and acquired StimSol as part of its strategy to secure an acid supply and blend which will assist in the development of its Swan Hills lands. To facilitate safety, product consistency and delivery timing, StimSol is currently constructing a 1,000 cubic meter per day centralized blending facility near the town of Swan Hills that will act as a service supplier for blended acid in the Swan Hills area. Early in 2011, Arcan anticipated acid shortages and attempted to minimize the impact of such shortages on its business through the StimSol Acquisition. As acid shortages have become very acute in the industry early in the fourth quarter, Arcan's planning and execution has been rewarded as Arcan has been in a position to fracture five wells to date in the fourth quarter. Further, Arcan anticipates that it will fracture up to five additional wells prior to the end of the year. Arcan believes that acid fracture stimulation fluid will be in critical demand as it drills through the fourth quarter of 2011 and into the first quarter of 2012 and it continues to focus its efforts to ensure the execution of its development drilling program. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Arcan announced the results of the GLJ Update Report. The highlights derived from the GLJ Update Report included a new estimated net asset value of $7.17 per share, up 29 percent from the $5.56 per share at December 31, 2010. Arcan's shareholders now own reserves worth $773 million net present value of future net revenue of working interest total P+P reserves before tax at 10 percent discount rate, up 65 percent from $468 million posted as at December 31, 2010. The September 30, 2011 numbers are based on 35.2 million BOE ("MMBOE") total P+P reserves, representing 67 percent growth in 2011 from the 21.1 MMBOE total P+P reserves as at December 31, 2010. The reserves were only booked for 118 wells on 57 sections of Arcan's 171 sections of land. Arcan will continue to prove up these resources and develop its lands and reserves for its December 2011 year end reserves report. Based upon recorded P+P reserves assigned by GLJ, the Corporation estimates there are significant additional resources on its undeveloped land position. Arcan is well capitalized to execute its business plan into 2012. On October 7, 2011 Arcan closed a $50.8 million equity offering and an $85.0 million convertible debenture financing. This allowed Arcan to raise its 2011 capital budget to $225.0 million and has provided Arcan with the financial flexibility required to continue development of its Swan Hills asset base. The Corporation's new budget includes the $24.0 million StimSol Acquisition, $13.3 million paid to acquire an additional 13 sections of land and the drilling and completion of 35 new horizontal multi-stage fracture wells in 2011. As at October 7, 2011, Arcan had $86.3 million of convertible debentures due in 2016, $85.0 million of convertible debentures due in 2018, a $26.3 million working capital surplus and $120.0 million in undrawn bank lines of credit. Arcan estimates a significant reduction in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2012 due to a number of activities which are currently underway. These activities include completion of the construction of a high grade road system that connects the DM2 through Arcan's Ethel property into Morse River, the commencement of pipeline infrastructure along the new road system backbone that will allow production in Ethel to flow to the DM2 oil facility, and the construction of pipeline infrastructure to facilitate water injection in the Ethel area. Arcan is also working on resolving issues with the clean oil pipeline which flows from the DM2. Arcan is focusing additional efforts on prudent waterflood management and development nucleating from the DM2 existing infrastructure. Several DM2 injector stimulations and a complete water injection cleanout have been instituted to date in 2011. Source water delineation has been addressed and an ample supply has been identified. Within the DM2 enhanced recovery scheme area two new injectors will be on-stream to assist in voidage replacement prior to year-end. Management anticipates that an additional seven injectors will be added within the DM2 scheme via recompletion activities to further facilitate pressure maintenance in the first quarter of 2012. An additional three conversions and six injector drills are also slated for expansion of the Ethel enhanced recovery scheme in the first quarter of 2012. Cumulative voidage replacement since the commencement of the DM2 scheme is 0.6 and to date in 2011 has averaged 0.6 on a monthly basis. A target voidage replacement of one or greater is currently strategized to commence in December 2011. The anticipated impact in DM2 is an enhancement of pool management for the maximization of ultimate pool recoveries and an improvement in the 2012 oil decline projections. Arcan's drilling program continues to be focused around land retention, reserves bookings and production in the Ethel area. To maintain land retention Arcan is drilling wells in its tier one, two and three areas. Overall, Arcan's wells continue to support Arcan's average well type production profile. The Corporation's success to date has been achieved despite the unpredictable and challenging external events which occurred in the first nine months of 2011. In addition to issues which resulted from extreme flooding in the Swan Hills area, the Rainbow pipeline system in the Hamburg area was also shut down and did not resume shipping until September 2011. Throughout these events, Arcan continued to successfully execute on its business plan and deliver on its strategy of maximizing the value of its Swan Hills assets. Arcan believes that the GLJ Update Report highlights the capital efficiency of the application of a horizontal, multi-stage fracture program in the Swan Hills reservoir. The Corporation now owns 171 net sections of land on the Swan Hills Beaverhill Lake light oil play having drilled or re-entered old well bores covering over 30 kilometres. For 2012, in addition to its water injection activities, Arcan plans to utilize three rigs to breakup and add up to forty new wells during the 2012 year; however, Arcan will also continue to evaluate capital spending and activity levels to ensure that it is able to maintain a strong balance sheet and respond appropriately to any fluctuations or industry downturns caused by world economic events. To provide additional financial stability, Arcan has hedged 2,000 barrels per day for 2012, 500 barrels per day for 2013 and maintains strong banking and finance syndicates. With a large, defined inventory at the forefront of an emerging light oil play, Arcan expects that the Swan Hills area will continue to transform Arcan through the rest of 2011 and beyond. As of January 1, 2011, Arcan employs International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Corporation encourages you to carefully read its management's discussion and analysis together with its quarterly unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as it has provided information regarding IFRS accounting policies and prepared reconciliations between previous Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and IFRS. Comparative numbers for 2010 have also been updated to reflect IFRS changes. The changes resulting from the Corporation's transition to IFRS have not impacted the operating assets of Arcan, but have significantly modified its consolidated financial statements and related notes. Further information on the impact of the changeover to IFRS is provided in the "Accounting Policies" section of the Arcan's management's discussion and analysis. About Arcan Resources Ltd. Arcan Resources Ltd. is an Alberta, Canada corporation that is principally engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of petroleum and natural gas located in Canada's Western Sedimentary Basin. Legal Advisories BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The calculation of BOEs is based on a conversion ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one bbl of oil based on an energy equivalency conversion primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Please refer to the "Abbreviations" in the Corporation's AIF for meanings of certain abbreviations used in this press release. Additional information about the Corporation, including the Corporation's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2010, is available under Arcan's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Basis of PresentationArcan's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Corporation adopted IFRS on January 1, 2011 with a transition date of January 1, 2010. Previously, Arcan had prepared its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Corporation has provided IFRS accounting policies and prepared reconciliations between GAAP and IFRS in the notes to its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Further information on the impact of IFRS is provided in the "Accounting Policies" section of the MD&A. Non-IFRS MeasurementsReaders are cautioned that this press release contains the term "funds from operations", which should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, "cash provided by operating activities" or "net earnings" as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Arcan's performance. Arcan also presents "funds from operations per share", whereby funds from operations are divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares of Arcan (each, a "share") outstanding to determine per share amounts. Operating netbacks are presented on an operating segment and consolidated basis. "Operating netbacks" for the exploration and production segment represent Arcan's petroleum and natural gas revenue, less royalties and production and operating expenses. "Operating netbacks" for the fracturing and stimulation segment represent fracturing and stimulation services revenue, less cost of sales for fracturing and stimulation services. "Consolidated operating netbacks" represent the sum of the operating netbacks for the exploration and production and fracturing and stimulation segments. "Corporate netbacks" represent Arcan's consolidated operating netback, plus other revenue, less realized economic hedging losses, cash general and administrative expenses and cash interest expenses in order to determine the amount of funds generated by production. Operating and corporate netbacks have been presented on a per BOE basis, as well. The measures referenced above do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes that funds from operations and both operating and corporate netbacks are useful supplemental measures as they indicate Arcan's ability to fund future growth through capital investment and/or to repay debt. These measures have been described and presented in this press release in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding Arcan's liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Arcan's method of calculating funds from operations may differ from other companies, and as such, may not be comparable. Please see the section "Results of Operations - Netbacks" for reconciliations between both operating netbacks and corporate netbacks to revenue.

18 April 2011 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET) colourless flake prices extended their record highs by €50/tonne ($72/tonne) from last week at the top end of the range due to strong demand and tight supply, sources said on Monday.
Colourless flake values reached €1,300-1,450/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
Prices for all other grades of R-PET are stable at record highs, which were first established on 31 January. Availability is low and consumption firm, but this was already priced in.
The R-PET market remains highly regionalised, with prices at the top end of the range representative of trading in Germany and Italy, where shortages are most apparent.
The tight supply is the result of low collection rates at post-consumer recycling facilities. Cold weather limits post-consumer collection rates because fewer bottled drinks are consumed.
Low temperatures from October through to March had limited post-consumer bottle collection.
Although April saw warmer weather across the bulk of Europe, there is a lag of around six weeks between higher temperatures and increased availability of post-consumer material.
As a result, the majority of sources are expecting R-PET availability to remain restricted until at least the end of May, but some stressed that peak-season demand traditionally seen in the second and third quarters will counter-balance any increase in supply and the market will remain short until September.
Demand is firm because of an increased focus on sustainability measures at large corporations.
Some R-PET sources said that the rise in recycling initiatives has left the market structurally short.
As a further boost to consumption, R-PET is being used as an alternative for cotton because flood damage to cotton crops in the fourth quarter of 2010 had created a shortage.
The low availability of virgin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) also meant that R-PET is being used as a substitute. An increase in the amount of imported virgin PET entering the European market, however, means that some players are seeing a drop in demand for R-PET as a virgin PET alternative.
Automotive demand is increasing as car manufacturers look to secure greater volumes of mixed coloured flakes – used in car interiors – both on a cost point and for their environmental image.
Warmer weather means that bottlers are preparing for peak-season demand, increasing consumption from the bottle-to-bottle market.
($1 = €0.69)

COVINGTON - Ficquett Elementary School seems to have touched many Covington residents' lives, whether they were students there or not.Carroll Moss, a third-grade teacher at the school, said she's only been at the school for three years, but Ficquett has become an important part of her life, past and present. She remembers her dad, Mac Gay, talking about his third-grade school year, when Ficquett first opened 50 years ago and the Old Covington School, located on the land where the police department is now, closed. "Instead of saying, "Tomorrow, you're going to start at this school,' they just walked over," Moss said. "He said they just carried their books and chairs with them and started school. And now I'm teaching here." The school will celebrate its 50th anniversary Saturday in a Sock Hop event from 5:30 to 8 p.m. "We're going to have an Elvis (impersonator) drive up in a 1950s Chevy, and we're going to introduce the past (seven) principals," she said. "We hope everybody will come out." Organizers are especially keen on finding former students and faculty members to attend the event. "We've also invited board (of education) members and current principals in the county," said Principal Miriam Wilkins, who is serving her second year as principal and 27th at the school. She said she takes great pride in the school, which has continuously made adequate yearly progress and is a Title I Distinguished School. "We work hard here," she said. "Our mission is to empower all learners to succeed in their paths." She said the school has several teachers and staff members who have worked at the school for 20 years or more, as well as several former students who have returned to work at the school. Gail Carter, a media center specialist who attended the school from 1959 to 1967 and has worked at the school since 1990, said her favorite part of the school is its diversity. "It's changed considerably through the years," she said of the school, which now serves about 900 students. "Used to, everyone knew where everyone lived and their parents. It was just a slower-paced life." Now, she said students are from various parts of the country and that the school has a high English as a second language and special education population. She said she has lots of ties to the building - her husband and two children also attended the school and her mother taught there. "Ficquett has been such a part of my life that it's hard to imagine my life without it," she said. Others feel the same way and will get to share their memories at Saturday's event. "This is more like the focal point of the celebration coming together," Wilkins said. "People will get to see old friends and meet new acquaintances." The event will also feature a slideshow, school tours and '50s music, as well as some attendees dressed in '50s-style clothing and food catered from The Varsity. "It will be a fun time," Wilkins said. Michelle Floyd can be reached at email@example.com.

One thing that would be great would be to be able to go through presets with a knob on push. I can't get the "next preset"-button to map correctly in UNO-X for example. But I guess that is depending on the host. Tonka3000 2 years ago

For those who might not recognize the name, Shaun Cumberland is a CF in AA Chattanooga. He was acquired in the deal that brought over Jorge Cantu.
He was a 10th round pick out of HS who appeared to be stalling out in AA for Tampa Bay at age 22 (354 AB, .246/.303/.347) after a few unimpressive seasons in A ball. He hit a bit better after coming over to the Reds organization, but it was a singles driven improvement (.301/.355/.407), not something to get excited about.
Fast forward to today. After a 4-5 day yesterday, Cumberland is hitting .287/.386/.478. His walks are way up and his strikeouts are way down. He's gone from a 3:1 K/BB to to 1:1. His slugging is way up as well. At just 23 and putting up this sort of line as a CF in AA, he suddenly looks like a real prospect.
So, who has the scoop on this kid? Is this a real turning-the-corner season for him? What's he project to? How's his defense? Anybody have a scouting report?

HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. — As a central Pennsylvania community mourns the slayings of three people by a man who was later killed in a gunbattle with state police, a friend said the shooter had struggled with a contentious divorce and stress from several accidents and had become fascinated with end-of-the-world predictions.
Several hundred people packed the Geeseytown Evangelical Lutheran Church on Saturday night for a prayer service remembering Kimberly Scott, 58, of Duncansville; Kenneth Lynn, 60, and his son-in-law, 38-year-old William Rhodes Jr., both of Geeseytown. Investigators say they were killed Friday morning by 44-year-old Jeffrey Lee Michael of Geeseytown, a tiny village about 70 miles west of Harrisburg.
Pastor Michael Rhyne said many are still wondering how something like this could happen ... why?
Authorities said Michael fired into the Juniata Valley Gospel Church and then went inside and killed Scott as she was decorating the church hall for a children's Christmas party. Either before or after that, they said, he killed neighbor Lynn in his driveway. He then rammed his pickup into another truck driven by Rhodes and shot him, before the gunbattle with state police that ended his life and resulted in three troopers being injured.
Police and prosecutors say they are still trying to figure out what set off the rampage and why the victims were targeted. Although officials said Michael knew the two men, Blair County Coroner Patricia Ross said there were no known issues between them and Scott had no connection to the shooter.
Bob Socie of Lakemont, a longtime friend of Michael's, told The (Altoona) Mirror that Michael had struggled for years with stress stemming from two accidents involving his tractor-trailer and an acrimonious divorce and custody battle.
Jeff was just a really nice guy. He never wanted to hurt anybody, he said. He was a gun enthusiast, but he never flaunted them, never shoved them in people's faces.

Canadian chanteuse Alanis Morissette has made her "Guardian Angel Tour" a family affair: she's asked her husband Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway to be her supporting act, and they're bringing their son Ever on the road.
However, touring together isn't the only musical thing the couple does together. In an interview with Billboard, Morissette reveals that she has also had a hand in her rapper husband's upcoming album.
"I've been wanting to collaborate with a rap artist for a long time but as you can imagine, with the bitches and hos orientation, it wasn't really an appropriate match," said Morissette, who married Treadway in 2010. "When I first met Souleye, I was a really big fan -- like super crushed out -- and I had no thought that we'd be able to even date. Writing songs with him has been amazing."

According to Billboard, the 38-year-old "You Oughta Know" hitmaker wrote five tracks with Treadway for his soon-to-be released album "Iron Horse Running," including tunes like "Whatever Nice Is," "Brother Where" and "Ego," which he is currently performing on tour.
In addition to being her opening act, Treadway also makes an appearance during his wife's set, performing their tune "Jekyll & Hyde" from the iTunes deluxe edition of Morissette's new album, "Havoc and Bright Lights."
"I'm really excited about the project!" Morissette said. Asked if her own rap skills would appear on Treadway's album, the songstress replied, "F--ck no! I am as white as it gets. It would be really awful. I'm so not a rapper!"

We've seen Morissette attempt to dive into the world of hip-hop before, when her parody of The Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" hit the Internet in 2007. Back then, Morissette turned the "Monkey Business" album track into a piano ballad and created a video that paid homage to the original.
Of course, joining her husband on his new album is an endeavour more serious in nature, but who could pass up an opportunity to watch this amazing cover?

Once they are pregnant again, these women, "literally are holding their breath trying to make sure with sonograms that this baby is going to make it further than the next," Chang said.
Celebrities, from Marilyn Monroe to modern actresses Courtney Cox Arquette and Christy Brinkley, have had repeat miscarriages.
Brinkley was 31 when she had daughter Alexa Ray with Billy Joel, and 41 at the birth of son Jack with real estate developer Rick Taubman. But in her fourth marriage to Peter Cook, she had three miscarriages, before giving birth to daughter Sailor Lee in 1998.
Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan had six miscarriages in the eight years between her first and second child.
New research published recently in the British Medical Journal reveals that women who try to get pregnant again soon after a miscarriage may be more successful than those who delay conception, but fertility doctors say that doesn't eliminate the anxiety and trepidation.
"We don't tell people to stop trying just based on the numbers of miscarriages they've had," Chang said. "We give advice on the results of their testing. If they have chromosomal abnormalities, we have them consider going to an egg donor. If this is something autoimmune or clot-related or a septum, pregnancy rates can be improved, sometimes surgically. It depends on many factors."
Doctors also recommend counseling, because facing another pregnancy can take a "huge toll" on patients' emotions and even their marriages, she said.
As for Allen, "I hope she knows to see a reproductive endocrinologist to get an evaluation," Chang said.
But the psychological impact of repeat miscarriages is incalculable, many experts said.
Television actress Kirstie Alley confessed in 2005 that her big weight gain began after she miscarried her only pregnancy a decade earlier.
"When the baby was gone, I just didn't really get over it," she told People magazine. "Neither did my body. I so thoroughly convinced my body that it was still pregnant after nine months that I had milk coming from my breasts.
"I was still fat, I was still grieving, and I had just been told it was very possible I would never be able to have children."
Tracy Gaudet, an obstetrician and gynecologist who is executive director of the Duke Integrative Medicine facility in Durham, N.C., said women need support for their grief after miscarriage.
"For years, I have seen women come into the emergency room late at night having a miscarriage," she said. "My heart goes out to them. This is not something medicine does well, meaning we have a good way to assess and evaluate and work up patients, but what we don't care for the whole person.
"There is a norm in the culture to dismiss the loss very quickly," she said. "The most common response from family and friends is, 'Oh, well, it's probably a blessing. There was probably something wrong with the pregnancy.' That might be true but it's not an acknowledgement of the loss."
Grief can be as great with the loss of an early pregnancy as with the loss of a child, according to Gaudet.
"It's compounded exponentially if it's a second or more loss," she said. "It hooks into the fear, 'Is there something wrong with me? Will I be able to have a baby?' We don't support women in processing that."
Even women who didn't intend to become pregnant are "confused and distressed" by miscarriage.
"It's ... very primal and deep-seated," she said. "We are genetically programmed to procreate, and even if we choose not to, it's life-affirming for a woman to know she has the capacity to create life and give birth. When that is threatened, that's a loss, compounded by fear."
Despite research that suggests women should try to get pregnant quickly after a miscarriage, Gaudet advises waiting until the grief -- "whatever it looks like" -- has been resolved.
"When they are feeling horrible and depressed and crying, it's not best to get pregnant," she said. "They need to honor and walk through the mourning process and they well know, internally, when they are ready to step into this again."

Mercedes-Benz Active Night View Assist Plus puts pedestrians in the spotlight
By Darren Quick
December 8, 2010
Since 2009, Mercedes-Benz's luxury class models have included an Active Night View Assist Plus feature that detects pedestrians on the road and highlights them on the display on the instrument cluster using infra-red light projectors. The company has now taken the assistance system a step further with a new spotlight function that specifically directs light on people on or near the road so that both the driver and the pedestrian are alerted to the presence of the approaching vehicle.
When the car's infra-red night vision camera detects people on or near the road, the system automatically flashes a spotlight on them using one of the main headlamps. The camera can detect pedestrians within a range of 80 m (262 ft) with the image displayed on a display in the instrument cluster. While Mercedes says studies have shown that pedestrians are alerted to the approaching vehicle, the spotlight function doesn't dazzle other road users as illumination doesn't occur if other road users happen to be traveling in front of the car or approaching in the opposite direction are located near the pedestrian.
The latest development of the Active Night View Assist Plus system is designed to warn drivers and pedestrians on poorly lit country roads. According to research by he German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt), five times as many pedestrians are killed on country roads at night than during the day, even though only 20 percent of car journeys take place at night.
The new spotlight function is just the latest in a number of smart headlight systems introduced by Mercedes-Benz, including the high-beam assistant system that uses a dash-mounted camera to automatically adapt headlamp range to the distance of other vehicles. The spotlight function will be included as a standard feature in a luxury class Mercedes model from the summer of 2011.
just what I need, more light in my eyes when I\'m walking at night. thanks, Mr. Daimler.jcomeau
I hope it\'s Toyota or Ford doing this, they sell far cheaper cars. Benz is a big money-gobbler, until the level of technologies they can provide in their cars doesn\'t tally with the price anymore.Akemai Olivia
They need to fit spinning scimitars to the wheels. That will get rid of the pedestrian problem.Mr Stiffy

FRISCO, Texas Members of Dallas Fire-Rescue threw a charity baseball game Sunday to help the son of a colleague three-year-old Dyrk Burcie, who is battling Stage IV liver cancer.
Hundreds cheered the department's Heat baseball team at the Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco as they played officers from the New York Police Department's baseball team.
All the guys getting together to do this for Dyrk... it's pretty amazing, said Dameon Burcie, Dyrk's dad and a lieutenant with Dallas Fire-Rescue. We ll always treasure this moment.
When news of Dyrk's illness spread to the station, firefighters across the city to decided to help by throwing the charity double-header game.
If we can get the people out, we can raise money, said organizer Scott Mills, the team's coach and a 26-year veteran of the Dallas fire department. You just hope and pray everything will get better; you don't give up hope.
Before the game, organizers had already raised more than $3,000 towards Dyrk Burcie's rising medical bills.
Dallas contacted NYPD's team, who agreed to fly in at their own expense to compete in the game.
It was an easy decision for the New York team's manager, Jose Vazquez. The retired officer suddenly lost his 14-year-old son, Anthony, in 2003.
Any time you mention kids to me, it hits home, Vazquez said. I know what it's like to lose a child, and I know how painful it is. I live with that pain every day.
Dyrk's liver cancer has spread to his lungs. He was diagnosed in March after his parents discovered a lump on his stomach during a bath.
Dyrk is not responding to chemotherapy and relies on a feeding tube.
He's incredibly sick, said his mother, Shelley Burcie. His days are very limited unless we can find a cure.
Dyrk will eventually need a liver transplant to survive.
As a parent, I don t think there s anything worse than... when you don t know how much time you have left with your child, Dameon Burcie said.
Donations to the Dyrk R. Burcie Trust can be made at any Wells Fargo bank branch.

Yesterday the m:lab hosted the first of a series of focus-group events dubbed Wireless Wednesday. We hosted Mr. Tonny Omwansa, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi (an m:lab consortium member), who is currently writing a book on the Mobile Money Industry.
The discussions we're based on four major talking points:
- Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) is where to start on Mobile Money
- Most Mobile Money flows within family units or among friends so products for individuals will not fly.
- Without proper execution, the product will not fly - however superior the product is
- Solve Global problems using local context - not the other way around.
The major talking points centred on mobile money transfer patterns and flow channels that mainly revolve around family units. One proposition centred on building mobile money services around flow channels and groups rather than individuals.
You can engage in these discussions virtually on mLabs World. The discussion specific to this event on Mobile Money can be found here.

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has lambasted the Pakatan Rakyat's 100-day reform plan, unveiled last month, describing it as populist and irresponsible.
He said the plan was unrealistic because it did not state the source of funds to finance the undertaking.
"We should not be too populist to the extent of pawning the country's future. We should not act that way; it's irresponsible and will cause our children and grandchildren to suffer.
"In fact, it won't take that long; in just two years, according to our estimates, our country will become like Greece if the plan is implemented without regard to the country's means to implement it," he said at the monthly gathering of the Prime Minister's Department, here, Monday.
Last month, the Opposition pact unveiled a 100-day programme which it said it would implement if it won the next general election.
It contained nine agendas, including the management of the country, economy and education.
The plan included asking Khazanah Nasional Berhad and the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) to facilitate the takeover of highway assets by the Government to abolish tolls, revamp the subsidy structure to reduce subsidies for the private sector and shifting it to cover subsidies for the public, increasing teaching allowances to RM500 per month and getting rid of Felda Plantations to allow farms to be managed by Felda's second and third generations.
Najib said civil servants were knowledgeable and would be able to see the follies of such plan.
"I'm always of the opinion that if it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
"If we believe in something that is too good to be true, then we are deceiving ourselves and we will be taken in by our own errors," he said, adding that the Opposition's plan was all about populist measures but made no mention about the source of funding.
Citing buying a better car or a bigger house as an example, the Prime Minister said any plan to do so should be based on whether one had the means to finance the purchase.
He questioned how the Opposition would implement and fulfil what it had outlined in its plan. - Bernama

Orange and Rockland reports third quarter earnings.

Louis Peoples, vice chairman and chief executive officer, the earnings decline is the result of the customer refund provisions described in the Settlement Proposal section below as well as the continued underperformance of the company's diversified operations during the current quarter compared with the same period a year ago. These expenses were partially offset, however, by higher electric sales in New Jersey resulting from the unusually warm summer weather, coupled with reduced operating and interest expenses in the company's core utility business.
Electric Revenues
Total sales of electric energy to retail customers were 1,310, 370 megawatt hours (Mwh) during the third quarter of 1995, compared with 1,242,025 Mwh during the third quarter of 1994. The higher sales are attributable to warmer weather, which resulted in the company experiencing record peak demands on seven separate occasions during the summer. Electric revenues associated with this quarter's sales were $140.4 million, compared with $142.0 million for the third quarter of 1994. These revenues reflect the recovery of lower fuel costs and the effect of the company's Revenue Decoupling Mechanism (RDM) agreement with the New York Public Service Commission, whereby revenues below or above established targets are recovered from -- or returned to -- customers. The company's New Jersey and Pennsylvania electric sales are not governed by an RDM agreement.
Sales to other utilities totaled 20,406 Mwh in the third quarter of 1995, compared with 64,500 Mwh in the prior year. Revenues amounted to $400,000, versus $1.4 million a year ago. Because revenues from these sales are primarily a recovery of costs in accordance with applicable tariff regulations, they have almost no impact on the company's annual earnings.
Gas Revenues
Gas sales to firm customers totaled 1,556 million cubic feet (Mmcf) during the third quarter of 1995, compared with 1,581 Mmcf during the same period a year ago. Third quarter gas revenues from these sales were $11.0 million, compared with $11.2 million in the third quarter of 1994. The revenue decline results from the recovery of lower gas costs as well as the lower sales compared with the same period a year ago.
Utility Expenses
Recoverable costs, including economic purchase of fuel for electric generation, gas purchased for resale, reconcilable demand-side management expenses and purchased power, declined by $2.6 million to $45.8 million in the third quarter of 1995, compared with $48.4 million in the same period a year ago. Other third quarter 1995 expenses amounted to $90.8 million, compared with $92.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The reduction in operation and maintenance expenses resulted from aggressive cost-cutting and operating efficiencies.
Proposed Rate Reduction Accelerated
On Aug. 1, 1995, the New York State Public Service Commission approved a stipulated agreement that provides for Orange and Rockland's 1.8 percent electric rate reduction proposal, filed in May 1995, to become effective immediately, eight months earlier than originally proposed. The company thereby became the only New York electric utility to voluntarily reduce base rates since 1988.
Under the stipulated agreement, Orange and Rockland's target return on common equity increases from 10.6 percent to 11.3 percent, effective Jan. 1, 1995. The agreement calls for sharing earnings equally with electric customers when the return on common equity exceeds 11.3 percent.
The agreement will remain in effect until the company's rate case proceeding is completed. At that time, the Public Service Commission will determine if further modifications to the agreement, which would be effective in April 1996, are necessary. The agreement has no effect on the company's gas rates.
Settlement Proposal
Orange and Rockland has been joined by the New York State Public Service Commission Staff, the New York State Consumer Protection Board and the Industrial Energy Users Association in filing a joint proposed settlement agreement under which the company would provide a total of $8.5 million in rate relief to New York electric and gas customers as a result of the investigation into the improprieties of certain former officers and employees. Following public review and comment, the proposal is expected to be considered by the Public Service Commission by year-end.
The proposal calls for approximately $6.5 million to be returned to electric customers through credits on their bills. In addition, the company would forgo a gas rate increase of $1.7 million and would provide a gas refund of $300,000. The financial impact of the settlement -- as well as a proposed $600,000 settlement for New Jersey electric customers -- has been fully provided for as of Sept. 30, 1995.
We believe that this agreement represents an equitable resolution of this matter. It is the result of meticulous financial study, a detailed accounting of pertinent records and an exhaustive review of Orange and Rockland's investigation report and of our administrative policies and procedures.
