..... Abbey staring what?
Comment ID #17513
He wouldn't have raped her? He is being influenced by the guy that made Paulo a jerk and that guy is worked for by the guy who gave Paulo his phobia. He also massively acted like a dick after Abbey's breakdown he caused. How do people defend Augustus when his hatedom is at least semi-justified, while hating Sabdy, who has done NOTHING to earn that hate?
Comment ID #17516
Anialator - I think she means Augustus. All em A names sound the same.
Comment ID #17517
Yeah, because we know everything about Augustus.
Comment ID #17549
Bull. He used psychology to attack Abbey's past issues and then acted superior and quite jerkly about them. Sorry, people. Augustus has a confirmed jerk streak. He even planned to rape Daisy after helping her make a fool of herself. Your opinion is denial. I don't do lying.
Comment ID #17616
lawlz guys I know he's a dick and stuff, I just like drawin him/him in general. Just cause a character isn't 'THE GOOD GUY' doesn't mean he won't have fans of some sort 0: (also lolz at the crying lucy thing)
Comment ID #17636
Oh, I'm pretty neutral. Just informing people who continue to say Augustus is innocent of stuff. Tess is nicer, but she still gets trouble for her past, after all.
Comment ID #17682
haha yeah I know he ain't innocent either--it's personally funny to see people get all worked up about it though
Comment ID #17747
How easy is to Judge person that we realy don't know.
Comment ID #17786
Your logic needs work. Lucy loves Mike and would really like to snuggle with him. Augustus liked Daisy and made her self-esteem lower before attempting to start raping her. Try harder.

Figure in Fast and Furious gun buyer sentenced
PHOENIX A man who purchased two rifles found at the scene of the fatal shooting of a federal agent north of the Arizona-Mexico border has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
Jaime Avila Jr. on Wednesday received the maximum sentence of 57 months based on federal guidelines.
Avila's attorney had pleaded for leniency, saying her client was deeply remorseful and had substance abuse problems.
Federal prosecutors had asked for the maximum penalty, saying Avila not only bought guns for drug cartels but also recruited others to do so.
The 25-year-old Avila was part of a ring targeted in a botched federal investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious. Agents lost track of hundreds of weapons, including two used in a shootout that killed Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A man who bought two rifles found at the scene of the fatal shooting a federal agent north of the Arizona-Mexico border will be sentenced Wednesday for his part in a gun smuggling ring targeted in the botched investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
Jaime Avila Jr., 25, faces up to 10 years in prison for his acknowledged role as a straw buyer for the ring that authorities say bought guns and smuggled them into Mexico for use by the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Two AK-47 variants bought by Avila from a suburban Phoenix gun store were found in the aftermath of a Dec. 14, 2010, shootout that mortally wounded Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry near the Arizona border city of Nogales. The firefight was between border agents and five men who had sneaked into the country from Mexico for the purpose of robbing marijuana smugglers.
Robert Heyer, Terry's cousin and leader of a foundation that bears the agent's name, plans to speak on behalf of the Terry family at Avila's sentencing and urged a judge in court records to impose the maximum sentence.
"We believe Mr. Avila initiated a deadly domino effect when he illegally bought those weapons and then delivered them to people who would ultimately put them into the hands of Brian's killers," Heyer said in the statement.
Avila isn't charged in Terry's death. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and dealing guns without a federal license.
U.S. District Judge James Teilborg also is scheduled on Wednesday to sentence five other men who admitted serving as straw buyers for the ring.
Federal authorities conducting the Fast and Furious investigation have faced tough criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers for the ring to walk away from gun shops in Arizona with weapons, rather than arrest the suspects and seize the guns there.
The investigation was launched in 2009 to catch trafficking kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 of the more than 2,000 weapons. Authorities say the ring was believed to have supplied the Sinaloa cartel with guns. Some guns purchased by the ring were later found at crime scenes in Mexico and the United States.

Hello library people,
Would you like to write an article or My Turn column for the ILA
Reporter? Please read below, and if you're willing to write one of the
articles we need about Digitization/Local History Collections, email
your idea to me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I will send a
second message to the list when I've got the authors I need. Thank you
for considering this.
One way to validate the importance of libraries in Illinois is to document and publicize the wonderful things we do. The ILA Awards are an established and prominent conduit we can take advantage of to help achieve this goal.
Besides promoting libraries to our public, this is also an opportunity to let our colleagues know about innovative programs and ideas that hard-working librarians and staff throughout Illinois have created. Inspiration and good ideas should be shared.
The first step in this process is to nominate someone for an award. And this is where you can help. We need to get the word out.
Awards are due this year by May 15th. Nominating someone for an ILA Award is easy to do. Visit http://www.ila.org/about-ila/ila-awards to learn about all of the awards, then submit the nomination form and all supporting documentation via the ILA Web site.

The Illinois House of Representatives passed this afternoon Senate Bill (SB) 2073, would reduce the revenues available to local taxing districts in tax-capped counties. Where property assessments are declining, the bills would prevent any increase in the aggregate tax levy extension, even though the costs to provide services continue to rise with inflation.
Sponsored in the House by Rep. Jack D. Franks (D-63, Woodstock), the Senate sponsors are: Senator Terry Link (D-30, Lincolnshire), Senator Dan Kotowski (D-33, Park Ridge), and Toi W. Hutchinson (D-40, Chicago Heights).
This bill will directly affect libraries in property tax-capped counties by not allowing for any increase in the property tax extension, ignoring escalating budget factors that are beyond the control of the library such as insurance programs (property, liability, unemployment, workers' compensation), employee benefits, fuel supplies, etc.
Choice of Friday, March 23, 1:00-4:00pm or Wednesday, March 28, 1:00-4:00pm

Rehearsing for disasters is an important and fun way to be better prepared for the unexpected when it strikes your institution. "Don't Panic! Responding to Disasters in a Pubic Library" is a free disaster response workshop based on a workshop created by GSLIS student Jessica Lapinsky for the Smithsonian Institution. This three-hour workshop covers the basics of how to respond to emergencies affecting public library collections, with an emphasis on using FEMA's Incident Command System to organize a safe and efficient response team. Topics covered include: the most common disasters affecting public libraries, some simple salvage techniques for library material, vital records, and the importance of team work. The workshop ends with a mock disaster table top exercise

Vibrant RGIII to join Redskins' serious Shanahan
-Shanahan had a glowing report about the status of right tackle Jammal Brown's injured hip. Brown has been hampered for two seasons, leaving to speculation that the Redskins will target the position in the draft.
"Right now I feel better about Jammal Brown than (at any time) since I've been here," Shanahan said.
-Shanahan confirmed the Redskins brought in veteran kicker Neil Rackers to compete with Graham Gano. The coach also is moving Lorenzo Alexander to inside linebacker and Niles Paul to tight end and hopes that tight end Chris Cooley, who is recovering from a knee injury, will be able to go full speed when offseason practices begin next month.
-Shanahan said the $18 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL had an impact on the Redskins' offseason, but he said he is not allowed to discuss the issue in detail until it is resolved. The team's appeal of the penalty is scheduled to be heard by an arbitrator on May 10.
"Does it change your game plan?" Shanahan said. "Sure, it does."

Cards' kids bringing smiles to Strom
"Not all of them get it. Believe me, we had our share of renegades. But the Rosenthals and the 41st-round guy, Kevin Siegrist, and (starters) Joe Kelly and Shelby Miller, they all get it. Some just get it quicker than others."
Only out of habit and past reference does Strom use the pronoun "we" for the Cardinals. As of Oct. 7, he's the major-league pitching coach for the Houston Astros, a position he also held back in 1996.
For each of the past two years, the Astros have managed to be the worst team in their league – indeed, in the majors. They've done this while playing in two different leagues -- the National in 2012 and American in 2013 -- losing 100 games in three straight seasons.
You can see where they're trying to get, though, and how they plan to get there. Before he became GM in Houston, Jeff Luhnow headed up the Cardinals' scouting and player development. In addition to Strom, he's lured Dyar Miller away from the Cardinals to be the Astros' minor league pitching coordinator.
Starting the 2013 season with a major league payroll of just $22 million, Houston's gone all in with youth and development. Homegrown. And while the Cardinals and Astros no longer are in the same division -- and certainly not the same league -- St. Louis should be on alert.
"I will say one thing," said Strom. "I know that Cardinal organization inside and out. I know what those guys are made of. If the Cardinals leave anybody exposed that I like, expect them to be picked up."

Leopard Print iPhone 3G Case is Hot
Me-Yow! Check Out My Future Sassypants iPhone Sleeve
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
I must ask Fab; is leopard print in right now, or is it out? Oh well, it seems to come back in often enough to justify this $11 Leopard Print iPhone 3G Case!
It's a sleeve, which I like so I can hold (and show off) my iPhone's sleek design, and that print — I'm only going to use it when I need to feel bold and a little bit Miami.

Right now I am eyeing this Otterbox iPhone 3G case from http://www.pressdigital.com.au/ as it's supposed to make my iPhone more durable because the case makes it shock proof and crush proof. Anyone here who has bought products from Press Digital? can you give me feedback on how they handle customer service? Just want to make sure I won;'t regret my purchase. thanks

Israelis Are United Over Medical Marijuana
Do we call this greenwashing, dankwashing, stinkwashing?
Israel has long been known to have a progressive policy on medical marijuana. While the
pastime drug itself is illegal for recreational use, Israel boasts(?) 10,000 patients that are permitted by the government to use medical marijuana. So popular is Israel's approach that earlier this year, former television personality Montel Williams, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, visited the country to meet with legislators, doctors, and scientists, speaking highly of the initiative.
As the AP notes today (including a moving interview with a Buchenwald survivor), Israel is moving forward.
The medical cannabis industry is expanding as well, fueled by Israel's strong research sector in medicine and technology — and notably, by government encouragement. Unlike in the United States and much of Europe, the issue inspires almost no controversy among the government and the country's leadership. Even influential senior rabbis do not voice any opposition to its spread, and secular Israelis have a liberal attitude on marijuana.
Now, Israel's Health Ministry is considering the distribution of medical marijuana through pharmacies beginning next year, a step taken by only a few countries, including Holland, which has traditionally led the way in Europe in legalizing medical uses of the drug.
Israel has already made advances in the "field." Earlier this year, the company Tikum Olam developed a strain of medical marijuana that reportedly alleviates nausea, increases appetite, and eases pain for sufferers of Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and even post-traumatic stress disorder without getting the patient "high" (as the parents are calling it these days).
Does this mean Israel could become the next Holland or Colorado?
Could someone repeat the question?

The BizSpark startup of the day is EnContext Advertising, based in the US. You will find below an interview with Jean M. Touboul of EnContext Advertising. All the best to them and congrats for being the startup of the day!
Website: www.encontextadvertising.com.
EnContext is high tech/media company offering a unique solution to the TV industry by embedding advertisements and links within the images shown on a video stream.
We offer a unique solution that could "revolutionize" the way advertising on TV and Web TV is experienced with a vast potential application in education.
I was an executive with World Avenue, one of the leaders in Lead Generation in the US and a former Executive and part of the core team that made Commission Junction (CJ) the global leader in Affiliate Marketing. My experience extends into Media as well, launching film and video distribution operations in Asia and Europe for The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros.
I've always thought that Media and the Internet converged into one unified "offering" and EnContext Advertising is the ultimate expression of my thinking in this space.
EnContext allows television and motion picture producers and distributors to encode their programs and series with advertising and information opportunities thanks to EnContext Advertising which provides viewers with the ability to click on an object within an image and, and , after being redirected purchase what they have selected or access information on this product. EnContext offers an intuitive approach to accessing something right off the screen of a TV monitor and profoundly complements traditional advertising or can even replace it altogether.
Advertising agencies, product-placement marketers, media companies, content producers, broadcasters, cable providers, telecommunications companies, and viewers and consumers who will welcome EnContext because it empowers them (human nature dictates that curiosity and desire will continue to drive viewer interaction with products despite the fact that no push advertising is used).
Not at this juncture.
We are at a very early stage developing a fully functional prototype and looking for funds to take EnContext to the next level of development.
EnContext Advertising can be used anywhere in the world and, in fact, works best when it is used that way since the serving of offers from a single encoded program is driven by a data base, something that allows great flexibility and opportunities for optimization of served options in response to clicks on images originating from anywhere in the world.
At this stage EnContext Advertising counts only the two founding partners as its employees.
We hope to be hiring soon and initially in Florida where we are based.
We have not made a final decision on the platform since we are focused on developing the code to embed the MPEG signal and create the interface to manage the system.
We are confident that we are the first in the market and may be the only ones with a comprehensive model and application package for some time to come. We do not have a specific software IP at this time but what we are developing is unique and we have a patent pending.
As far as companies are concerned probably Adobe.
Precisely where are now in the application of the Internet and related technology in the Media.
We have three phases of development with our first phase requiring $500,000 and Phase 2 and 3 rolling soon after this for a total of 3 million dollar.
We are already part of BizSpark and joined very recently for that matter. So far it is great since it gives us access to a great deal of information and resources.
Never take no for an answer and be very very patient.

There is a fair number of young adults and some older adults that were teenagers and younger adults the last time "Grease" was performed on the big stage of the Sampson Community Theatre in January 2003. We welcome the members of that cast to return in two weeks to watch and sing along as they become teenagers again for a few hours.
We also welcome everyone else who remembers the 50's or who likes musicals because "Grease" is a Rock 'n Roll musical which helped usher in a new era that included poodle skirts, saddle shoes, Levi's, TV dinners, drive-in movies, leather jackets and ducktails, the Ed Sullivan Show and Elvis Presley.
"Grease" opens at 8 p.m. on June 19 for the first of its eight show run. The stage managers are April Best and Tracy Kirkland; the set is being constructed by them and Allen Blanchard, Kenneth Best, and Kathy Gutierrez; the backdrops are painted by Anne Wicke and Madison Holland; lights and sound is being handled by Will Hernan; and the spotlights will be guided by James Carr and Logan Best.
If you would like to get your tickets early they are available now at InkSpot and Matthews Drugs.
Thanks to Performance Dodge for their sponsorship which helps to defray some of the costs for "Grease."
Since there are two casts for "Grease," one is named "Movers" and the other "Shakers". For your information the Movers cast will perform on June 19, 21, 27, 29 while the Shakers cast will appear on June 20, 22, 26, 28. If there is a person you specifically want to see you will need to contact them to find out which cast they are in. Also it would be a good idea for you to get to the theater early because seats are not reserved and when all the tickets are sold you will be out of luck for this show.

Monthly Security Report – October, November 2014December 3, 2014 | By admin | Category: HD Research Institute
Deep South
In October and November 2014, eleven people were killed and another 21 people were injured in the Deep South of Thailand in the three provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala.
The affected districts in Narathiwat province include Rueso, Muang, Si Sakhon and Su-ngai Kolok. Pattani's most dangerous districts during the last two months were Muang, Yarang, Yaring and Khok Pho district. People were injured and killed in Yala's Yaha, Betong and Raman districts. Although most of the attacks occurred in Narathiwat, Yala saw the most fatalities in comparison to Narathiwat and Pattani in the past two months.
The chart below indicates the gender of the victims. There were significantly more males targeted in the attacks than women. Seventeen men were injured in the Deep South versus just four women, however, almost the same number from both genders died.
Civilians are the most frequently hit group in all of the three provinces.
In general, more people were killed by gunshots rather than explosives.
Peace talks, which started in August, are still ongoing. Thailand's Prime Minister, Prayuth, traveled to Malaysia to continue with the peace process with his Malaysian counterpart Prime Minister Najib Razak. Both leaders aim to strengthen the relationship between Thailand and Malaysia, and to work together in stabilizing the border provinces. They hope to accomplish this through three principles; a period without violence; representation of all concerned parties; and a conclusion with all parties united in their demands. (The Nation)
Banners against the Thai government in Thai, English, and Yawi were seen, and small explosions were heard in the Deep South as PM Prayuth arrived in Kuala Lumpur for talks on the conflicts. (Bangkok Post)
Human Trafficking
In October, two Thai nationals were arrested for the trafficking of 53 men, most of them belonging to a stateless Muslim minority from western Myanmar. Another 79 people were found on a boat. Thailand is making little progress in its efforts to combat human trafficking and trafficking routes are still very active. In only one week, 130 trafficked people were found in the province of Phang Nga, north of Phuket. International organizations like Human Rights Watch have criticized Thailand's efforts. Victims are mostly from the poorer neighboring countries without prospects for employment, money, or official papers. Men are usually forced into labor on fishing vessels or forced to beg for example; whereas women mostly work in domestic households or become victims of sexual exploitation. Victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation frequently include children. For example, at the beginning of November, about 20 Thai and Lao girls between 15 and 18 years were rescued from a karaoke bar in Don Tum district of Nakhon Pathom province. Some of the girls were in Thailand as tourists and were offered jobs from recruiters. (Bangkok Post, 14/10/2014)
Children begging can be seen everywhere in Bangkok, especially in tourist areas like the Khaosan Road. Most of them are from Burma/ Myanmar and their ages vary greatly. They work every day and during the night, but the money they earn is never sufficient to support their families. Not only are most of them far away from their parents and living in poverty, they are also victims of human trafficking and frequently subject to physical abuse from their captors. (Mairs, Sally: "The Exploited Kids Selling Roses to Tourists on Bangkok's Khaosan Road", 22/10/2014)
In many places in Southeast Asia people are captured and held in jungle camps until their relatives pay ransom for their release. As a result of ethnic violence in Myanmar, thousands of people have been left homeless or have fled only to live without access to education, employment or healthcare. These difficult conditions make it easier for smugglers to convince people to cross the border with the promise of a better life. "In January, two police raids in southern Thailand freed 636 people, about a third of them Bangladeshis – an 'unprecedented' number, said police." Still thousands of people from Southeast Asia are held by a complex trafficking network within jungle camps in the south of Thailand, according to victims of trafficking. The guards at these camps treat the captives poorly, allowing them to starve, die of dehydration, or become victims of sexual violence. Most of the boats and crews involved in these transnational criminal activities are from Thailand. (Reuters, 22/10/2014)

Monthly Security Report – September, 2014October 13, 2014 | By admin | Category: HD Research Institute
Deep South
Due to the closure of religious holidays and since the resumption of the peace dialogue in August between the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) as biggest separatist Muslim movement group in the South, violence is on the decline in the three provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
In the month of September nine people were killed and another nine persons were injured by attacks. The primary targets belong to the local government administration.
The graph above suggests that bombs are the main reason for a high number of wounded people, but that gunshot injuries cause the greatest number of deaths.
The charts below depict the attacks which have occurred over the year in the four provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat, Yala and Songkhla. It indicates the frequency of attacks in the different districts of the provinces, and displays the most dangerous regions from January to October 2014.
In Songkhla, the last attack relating to the conflict in the Deep South was reported in June.
The most dangerous province in Thailand is Pattani, with the most attacks, and subsequently the most injured and killed people.
The peace talks had already begun in August, but Prime Minister Prayuth has forecasted an end to the violence in the Deep South within one year before Thailand joins the ASEAN Economic Community 2015 (AEC). Goals of the negotiations are long-term peace in the three provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat between the Thai authorities and the insurgent groups. (Bangkok Post)
National Security Council (NSC) secretary-general Thawil Pliensri said that there is a three-year plan to solve the "Southern problem", beginning next year.
Koh Tao
Early Monday morning, 15 September 2014, two British tourists, 24-year-old David Miller and 23-year-old Hannah Witheridge, were killed on Koh Tao, Surat Thani province. Both joined a party at the beach, but what happened during the night from Sunday to Monday cannot be entirely reconstructed. The DNA found on a cigarette close and on the female victim was tested and failed to provide a match. Miller and Witheridge both died from head injuries caused by blunt objects. Additionally, there was water in the lungs of the male victim who may have been fighting with his attacker. Two weeks later, three Burmese migrant workers were accused of the murders of the two British tourists. At the moment, it seems that one of the suspects left the crime scene when the murder took place, but there are still some unanswered questions and criticisms of the investigation. (Bangkok Post)
Officials stated that, in order to make the situation for tourists safer, identification wristbands with a serial number from the hotel which matches their ID and have the contact details of the hotel may be used. (The Guardian)
Pattaya is one of the most popular places for drugs and sex tourism in Thailand, especially the area known as "Walking Street." Plans have been announced to clean up its image. (The Guardian)
On 27 September, a 23 years old Danish woman was raped. The police have been searching for a suspect of Thai nationality. A 25 to 30-year-old man claiming to be a taxi driver, offered to give her a ride from the PTT petrol station in Baan Amphur to their home to Naklua. The man changed the route and forced her to accompany him to a remote place where the sexual assault took place. The woman accepted the drive back to the petrol station but jumped off the motorbike near a group of people and contacted the police immediately. (PattayaOne)

Monthly Security Report – August, 2014September 4, 2014 | By admin | Category: HD Research Institute
In August 2014, seven people died and eleven were wounded in the Deep South of Thailand. The attacks occurred in only two provinces, Pattani and Yala. This means a decrease of attacks in comparison to July. In the province of Narathiwat no attack was reported.
The victims were injured and killed by bombs or gunshots in Yala's Yaha, Than To and Raman districts as well as in Pattani's Mayo, Yarang and Khok Pho districts. The graph below shows the groups the victims belong to. Most of them are from the official sector. For example, policemen who provide security for teachers in the Deep South region are the most at risk group for attacks. Of the ten attacks this month, four resulted in law enforcement casualties. Followed by the group, "Other/ Unknown", includes civilians.
Peace talks in the Deep South
The reasons behind the violence in the southern border provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat can be traced back to the history, identity and different religious ideology of the parties. After the unrest in May, and an increase of attacks in July 2014, there is a noticeable decline in the month of August. One reason may be due to the closure of religious holidays and festivals. Another reason may be due to the continuation of peace talks in the Deep South of Thailand between the separatist movement, Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) who resumed their efforts for peace in this region.
Goals of the dialogue are to figure out better ways to stabilize the situation in the three provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat and to rebuild an environment that will be conducive for peace, stability and security, said General Akanit. (Bangkok Post)
The peace process will proceed in two phases. First, the provisional government makes laws for national reform and doctoral regulations. The second will be to pass on the work to the next government. The NCPO set up an executive policy committee for the action and a peace dialogue commission for the strategies of the peace talks with General Prayuth as the chairman. Former negotiations between the NSC und the government under the former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawathra and the insurgent groups, led by BRN, started on 28 of February and failed in October 2013 after only five rounds. (Bangkok Post)
Mr. Culbert, former member of the IRA said that in Thailand's case the "military wings" of each group involved might see the need to continue fighting, but it is important for the "political wings" of all groups to be involved in negotiations leading to the peace process. (Bangkok Post)
There is a two track peace process for the Deep South region. The first is the official process for international and public consumption. The second one involves talks between Thai security forces and mid-ranking separatist leaders who have direct command over the insurgents. One goal, for example, could be the declaring of demilitarized zones. However, there is no sign for autonomy in any of these regions. The Thai Army has resisted any calls for autonomy and it is very likely that they will continue resisting. (The Nation, VOA)

Monthly Security Report – July, 2014August 19, 2014 | By admin | Category: HD Research Institute
In July 2014, 20 people died and 85 were wounded in the Deep South of Thailand. That means an increase of attacks in the three provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala; the latter being where the majority of bombs and gunshots were reported.
At the beginning of 2013, statistics and records of attacks in the Deep South of Thailand show that most of the attacks occur over the weekend. One reason could be due to the heavy flow of traffic of people going to and from various locations or at public places where they are easy targets for attackers.
Despite the military coup in May, attacks in the Deep South of Thailand have not decreased. In July, there was a significant increase of violence compared to June. One of the reasons can be attributed to the start of Vassa, the Buddhist equivalent of Lent, on the 12th of July which coincided with the end of Ramadan.
The biggest attack occurred in late July, in the Province of Yala where 15 people died and 52 were wounded by a car bomb in Betong district. Most of the injured people were civilians, Bangkok Post reported. The statistic below shows the highest number of killed and injured people in this region.The end of Ramadan on 28th of July was followed by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) detonation in Pattani's Sai Buri district, which killed one child and injured six .
There were no attacks reported during the month of August in the province of Songkla, but Narathiwat witnessed targeted attacks in the districts of Rueso, Tak Bai, Sukirin, Su-ngai Padi and Cho-airong where eight people died, seven of them were killed by gunshots. Attacks in Pattani happened in Mayo district, Sai Buri district, Nong Chik district and Thung Yang Daeng district. Five of the six victims died by gunshots and belonged either to officials or were reported militants. It seems like civilians are not direct targets of attacks, but remain the most at risk group and represent the majority of the victims. This is illustrated by the bomb explosions that occurred in Yala's Betong district in late July where 52 people were injured and two killed by a car bomb.
Vehicle bombs are one of the most dangerous weapons in conflict regions because it causes not only a high number of casualties but also causes damageto buildings and roads resulting in high infrastructural costs for the government.
On 7 July, two IEDs exploded in Yala and Pattani. These were two separate but related attacks, which injured 3 people. One defense volunteer died in Yala's Than To district.Despite the high damage rate of vehicle bombs, more people were killed by gunshots in July. Victims of these kinds of attacks are not only officials, but are also civilians.
The graph below shows that the most at risk group is called Other/ Unknown, which includes civilians. There is a higher risk of casualties and injuries for civilians, followed by the police force due to the security they provide for local officials like teachers.
In mid July, the NCPO decided to build fences around schools in 136 villages located in high risk regions in the Deep South of Thailand. They also plan to install CCTV cameras in these areas. This illustrates the high priority of peace talks. After a disruption of peace talks between the Yingluck government and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) following the end of Ramadan from the previous year, both sides are interested in continuing peace dialogues for resolving southern conflicts behind closed doors. The two parties are BRN separatist movement and the NCPO under General Prayuth Chan-ocha. The statement of the army chief is clear: "The Thai side is aware that resorting to violence as a means to fight violence is not a sustainable solution and at the same time I will not allow a land separation or administrative separation of Thailand's deep South." (Bangkok Post)
Aside from the peace talks, the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc), the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre (SBPAC), and the ministries are supposed to work together and create transparency for a public understanding of how the government tries to bring peace and unity into the Deep South region of Thailand.

Monthly Security Report – June, 2014July 4, 2014 | By admin | Category: HD Research Institute
Ten deaths and twelve injuries were reported in the month of June in connection to the conflict in the Deep South – a big difference to May, which saw a total of 107 injuries, and ten deaths. Whereas last month experienced several very large-scale and indiscriminate bomb attacks, resulting in huge numbers of casualties, June witnessed an increase in smaller-scale targeted attacks.
Overview of attacks
Throughout the month of June, Pattani witnessed targeted attacks in Sai Buri district, Yarang district, Yaring district, Panare district, and Khok Pho district. Four military personnel were victims, two of whom were killed by gunshots from a pick-up truck on June 3, and the other two injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) on June 4, as they guarded a road used by teachers on their route to school. A male defense volunteer was killed by gunshot on June 11 in Sai Buri, and on June 23, two rangers were wounded when an IED was remotely detonated, also as they patrolled the route teachers take to school in Yaring district. No details have emerged as to who the perpetrators were. At the start of Ramadan, shots were fired near a mosque in Panare district, wounding the father of the Mosque's Imam, and killing an assistant village chief and religious leader. Rumors amounted that the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) were behind this attack, but they have denied all responsibility. (Bangkok Post)
Narathiwat witnessed two separate, but related targeted attacks on June 16. The first – a roadside bomb explosion – injured two defense volunteers providing security for teachers in Cho Ai Rong district at around 8am. The second occurred when a bomb targeting a police Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team exploded, missing the targets and killing a civilian motorcyclist passing by. A further attack in Narathiwat occurred in Tak Bai on June 28 when at least ten men opened fire on a team of policemen, killing two, in addition to wounding two civilians nearby.
Songkla witnessed one attack, on June 16. The owner of a grocery shop was killed, and his wife wounded when a group of four men on motorcycles arrived at their shop, one of whom walked inside and opened fire. The perpetrators then set fire to the shop before escaping. Police are investigating the attack.
Type of attacks
Despite the fact that most of the incidents in June appear to have been targeted attacks, civilians still make up the largest number of victims, with five killed and five injured. In all cases of civilians being attacked, the intent behind them remains so far unknown to official sources. The second biggest victims are both the police and the military. Two military personnel and two policemen were killed in June, and two of each injured. Furthermore, one defence volunteer was killed and two were wounded.
Guns were the most common type of weapon used in attacks in June, and also the most likely to cause fatalities. A total of nine people were killed by gunshot, and five injured, in comparison to one death by IED, and six injuries.
Media reports on southern conflict
A large challenge when it comes to regular reporting on the conflict in the South is the lack of reliable sources and documentation of the situation and all related activities, including the number and nature of the attacks. As a step towards ending media bias, and promoting factual knowledge about the situation, Panu Uthairat, the secretary-general of the Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre, met with local networks and government officials to put in place a set of basic standards and rules for discussing and reporting on the violence. He urged that all news outlets put more emphasis on accuracy, and reporting from all angles, to prevent the spread of misinformation and misunderstanding. (Bangkok Post)
Another problem occurs when considering the fact that the insurgency has no defined goals or leader at the forefront of it, with insurgent cells disconnected and diffuse. This poses problems for reporters and for the public trying to understand the issues. The dominant source of news for the conflict comes from Bangkok-based press, who have been accused of media bias against the Malay-Muslim minority. It has been observed that these outlets fail to give balanced reports, focusing solely on attacks against Thai Buddhists, and not on the systemic discrimination of the Muslim population. Furthermore, reports on abuses by security forces against the Malay Muslims in the south are few and far between. (The Boston Globe)

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- GHSU will be able to build a modern simulation center inside the soon-to-be-built Education Commons building, thanks to an $8 million grant from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation.
The lab will include standardized patient rooms and high-fidelity patient simulators, which will be used by health students from various disciplines.
The Education Commons building is expected to be five stories and 16,000 square feet. The entire project is expected to cost $76.5 million and Georgia Health Sciences University has already obtained $23 million for the project.
"Partnerships like this one with the Woodruff Foundation are critical in advancing the vision of Georgia Health Sciences to be a globally-recognized research university and academic health center, while transforming the region into a health care and biomedical research destination," said GHSU President Ricardo Azziz in a news release. "Research has repeatedly shown that students and clinicians trained with simulation demonstrate markedly better knowledge, skills and behaviors at the bedside."

PORTLAND The Oregon Department of Justice said it found no evidence to support criminal charges against former Multnomah County Chair Jeff Cogen.
We are pleased to have been able to step in when asked by District Attorney Underhill and Sheriff Staton to conduct this important investigation, Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said. The Department of Justice takes very seriously its role assisting local law enforcement with criminal investigations, especially when they involve allegations concerning public officials.
The DOJ release the report Friday after KGW news partner, The Oregonian, reported Thursday that Sonia Manhas, the fellow county employee with whom Cogen admitted having an affair, reportedly told prosecutors that Cogen was a frequent drug user.
Manhas reportedly told Justice Department investigators Cogen used cocaine and often smoked marijuana. She also said Cogen had at least one other extramarital affair while he was County Chair, the newspaper reported.
Cogen resigned as Multnomah County Chair in the wake of public scrutiny surrounding his affair with Manhas and a subsequent state investigation to determine if there was any criminal wrongdoing.
Background: Cogen resigns amid DOJ investigation

Product Description
"The Dhammapada" is a collection of aphorisms that illustrate the moral teachings of Buddha – the spiritual path to the supreme Truth. Probably compiled in the third century BCE, the verses are arranged according to theme, covering ideas such as self-possession, good and evil, watchfulness and endurance. Together they describe how an individual can attain the enlightenment of Nirvana, the supreme goal of Buddhism. The road to Nirvana, as illustrated in "The Dhammapada", is narrow and difficult to negotiate, but the reward of eternal life gives hope and determination to the traveller.

Even if Republican gubernatorial hopeful Dan Maes drops out of the governor's race, third-party candidate Tom Tancredo said Thursday he is in through Election Day.
Two weeks ago, Tancredo proposed that both he and Maes exit the contest so the GOP could appoint a more formidable candidate to take on Democrat John Hickenlooper. Maes rejected the offer.
Now, Tancredo said, the offer is off the table.
"I have done my best. But now I have a responsibility to all the people who have come forward to give their support, and therefore, I will stay in the race," Tancredo said Thursday.
The former GOP congressman, who switched his affiliation to the American Constitution Party last month, raised $200,000 in August, according to his campaign.
Colorado's Election 2010
Election News and Candidate Info
Today is the deadline for the secretary of state's office to certify the ballot. After that, Tancredo's name will appear as a candidate regardless of whether he changes his mind down the road.
Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado GOP, declined to comment. Wadhams had delivered Tancredo's message to Maes last month.
Maes was under intense pressure Thursday to drop out of the race but was holding fast. However, a number of Republicans were discussing backing Tancredo if Maes stayed in the race.
"He's lost the confidence of almost everybody, even the grassroots support he used to have. It's pretty obvious to everyone he should step aside," state Sen. Greg Brophy of Wray said of Maes. "If he won't get out, we should really rally around Tom Tancredo, who really is a Republican and a conservative."
Tea Party organizer and Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland also said she would vote for Tancredo if Maes remains in the race.

Candidate's withdrawal would scramble ballot plans
No weekend at Bernie's: The secretary of state's office will certify the names and issues that will appear on November general election ballots by 5 p.m. today, Secretary of State Bernie Buescher said.
Ch-ch-ch-changes: After certification, changing a name on the ballot is hard but not impossible. Clerks must mail ballots to overseas voters by Sept. 18. The date those ballots are printed varies by county. Clerks may have time to reprogram voting machines for early and Election Day voting.
Tancredo's time ticking away: Because there are different rules for minor parties, the only way for the American Constitution Party candidate to make good on his offer to get out and avoid having his name appear on ballots is to withdraw before today's certification. Additionally, minor parties have been unable to fill vacancies since Aug. 24, so that would leave the party without a candidate.
Party before person: If the Republican or Democratic nominee drops out and the replacement's name doesn't appear on the ballot, any vote for the nominee would count for the replacement, except ...
Oct. 15 is D-day: ... should the Democratic or Republican nominee drop out within 18 days of the general election, the only way the vacancy can be filled is if the candidate who dropped out wins, in which case a person appointed by a vacancy committee would serve until the next general election.

Saddest of all, Harry Hamlin, star of the low-rent Movie Stars, a reputedly horrendous sitcom about washed-up celebrities, lived out one of his characters' story arcs by making an apparently coerced appearance with costar Jennifer Grant. It was way too meta for me: Will we now see an episode in which Harry's character rejoices at a guest shot on Hollywood Squares, pathetic has-been that he is? Even worse, during his stint in the bottom corner, nobody asked poor, dignified Harry a question. Gifted with a couple of reaction shots by a director who is doubtless instructed to allot everyone a moment onscreen, he looked pained at best as the jests lumbered by.
Consistent with those hints of time warp (Harry Hamlin!), the jokes themselves seem mired in the Seventies. "America's dairyland is in...?" Bergeron asks Cheech Marin. "Pamela Anderson's bra," Cheech smirks. Maybe this is compensation for all the star power that women project on this show; maybe it reveals a certain discomfort with a program that gives more time and volume to female voices. But these reactionary jokes are far outweighed by the gravity of Whoopi, Rosie, and their cohorts. Though it may linger around the bottom of the dial, this Hollywood Squares is a breath fresher than Oxygen, where the only joke on offer is its media hype.

Backers of expanded rail service that would connect New London to Storrs and points north are anxiously awaiting approval of a $17 million federal grant that would jump-start the upgrading of tracks in preparation for higher local freight- and passenger-train capacity.
Todd O'Donnell, co-owner of New London's Union Station, said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, has been instrumental in supporting a Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The government plans to release up to $500 million in the TIGER grants this fiscal year for expanded passenger and freight services nationwide, and a Courtney spokesman said he expects the funding announcement to come within the next two weeks.
The grant would provide money for New England Central Railroad to upgrade rails from New London to Palmer, Mass.
"Everyone is hopeful this will go through," O'Donnell said.
The rail improvements eventually would extend to Brattleboro, Vt., if the money is approved. A previous federal grant led to rail upgrades from Brattleboro to the Canadian border.
The project, as conceived by the Central Corridor Rail Coalition that includes officials in the regions to be served, is expected to cost $125 million to $150 million when complete. About $50 million of the cost would be for track upgrades, with another $15 million to $20 million each for new rail stations and new freight cars, O'Donnell said.
The updated tracks would accommodate freight cars that are up to modern standards, rather than the small-capacity cars currently in use in southeastern Connecticut. This would end the need to re-load cargo that comes or leaves from here because the region's tracks can't accommodate higher-capacity cars.
Late last year, officials from New London, Norwich, Windham and Mansfield, along with the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, signed a memorandum of understanding that supported using more than 100 miles of upgraded tracks to boost freight and passenger service in eastern Connecticut.
Stops would run from New London to Mohegan Sun Casino, Norwich, Willimantic, Mansfield, Storrs and Stafford Springs. Other stations along the way would include Palmer, Amherst and Millers Falls in Massachusetts, as well as Brattleboro, Vt.
According to a summary of the project, Palmer, Mass., "is the nexus for all passenger and freight service moving through central New England." Brattleboro "will be the connection for Amtrak service north and serve southern New England skiers and tourists looking to avoid congestion on I-91."
New London and southeastern Connecticut should benefit as well, O'Donnell said, with students from the University of Connecticut and Eastern Connecticut State University being able to travel by rail and tourists gaining new access to the shoreline.
"We're the tourism capital of the state if not New England," O'Donnell said. "It really is not a commuter train."
Backers of the project say passenger service provided by a public-private partnership could be run at significantly lower costs than is typical in the rail transportation business.
But the real economic benefit lies in expanded rail capacity helping communities increase the value of commercial properties and boost the tax rolls, O'Donnell said. Expanded freight services will open up business opportunities along the route for those who would now be able to ship materials through New London's deepwater port or transport their goods to the north, as well as east and west.
O'Donnell said it would take 18 months to complete the project if all the money arrived up front. Having to wait for funding could send that schedule off track, however.
"How long it takes to get the money is the great debate," O'Donnell said.

In Excel for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author Curt Frye gives a comprehensive overview of Excel, the full-featured spreadsheet software from Microsoft. The course covers key skills such as manipulating workbook and cell data, using functions, automating actions, printing worksheets, and collaborating with others. Exercise files accompany the course.
As you continue to use Excel, you'll probably find that you repeat sequences of actions. If you would like to automate those tasks, you can record a macro and run it to save you time and energy later. So in this workbook, what I'm going to do is create a macro that will change the formatting of text in the selected cell so that it goes from 18 pt, which it is now, to 12 pt, and also it will wrap text within the body of that cell. So first thing I'm going to do is record the macro, then I will show you how to run the macro that I just recorded, and after that, I will save the workbook as a macro-enabled file.
So first we need to record the macro, and to do that I'm going to use the controls on the Developer tab of the Ribbon. And before I started this exercise, I went into the Excel Preferences dialog on the Ribbon tab, and I checked the box next to the name of the Developer tab, so it would be visible on the Ribbon. So now that that's there, I can use these controls, and the first thing I'm going to do, like I said, is record a macro, and I'll start with cell B3, because that contains the text I want to change. I'll go to the Visual Basic group, and the name of the programming language in which you're recording is Visual Basic for Applications, and that's why the script is called Visual Basic.
So I'll click the Record button, and Excel displays the Record macro dialog. I can now type in the name of my macro, and I'll call it SmallWrap. That's there, so when I press Enter or click OK, Excel starts recording, and you'll notice that the Record button changed to a stop button. When I'm done with my macro actions, then I can click that, and it will stop. From now on, everything I do until I click stop, will be recorded by the macro recorder, so I do need to be exact.
First thing I'm going to do is go to the Home tab and change the font size to 12. Okay, so that just happened, and then I'm going to wrap the text within the cell, so I click the Wrap Text button and then click Wrap Text. When I do, Excel applies those changes, and that's all I wanted to record, so now I will go back to the Developer tab of the Ribbon. Excel doesn't record when you change tabs on the Ribbon; it only records when you take an action that affects the worksheet. So here I go back, click the Record button, which is now a stop button, and when I do, Excel stops recording the macro.
Now the macro is available for me to run. So I will click cell B5, which contains other text that I can reformat, and then again, on the Developer tab, I open the macros dialog box by clicking the Macros button and make sure that the SmallWrap macro is highlighted. That's the one I want to run, click Run, and Excel runs the macro. Now that I know it's working properly, I can save the file, and the first thing I'm going to do is try to save the file as a regular workbook to generate an error, so you see what it looks like, and then I'll save it in the actual macro-enabled workbook format.
I'll press Command+S to save the file, and when I do, Excel says that macros will be removed if I save the file in this format. Are you sure you want to continue? And also if you want to choose a different file format, click Cancel. That's because there are two separate file types in Excel 2011: macro-enabled workbooks and non macro-enabled workbooks. So I want a macro-enabled workbook; I don't want to lose what I just recorded, so I'll click Cancel and when I do, Excel displays the Save As dialog box. I'm going to choose a different file format, so I'll click the Format down arrow, and here in the Specialty Formats lists, you'll see Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook, and that is what I want.
You can't save a macro in just any regular workbook. You have to distinguish it by telling Excel that yes, I do want this file to have macros enabled. So I'll click that, and everything looks good. I'll click Save, and Excel saves my file. Before you record a macro, you should take the time to plan the steps you're going to perform. You might find that it helps to write down the outline and have it in front of you while you go through those steps.
