What is food defense?Food defense means preventing or eliminating the intentional tampering or contamination of food. Tampering or contamination may be biological, chemical, physical, nuclear or radioactive. Deliberate tampering or contamination of food includes malicious, criminal and terrorist acts.Why should you be concerned with Food Defense?You and your employees are the front line in protecting the nation's food supply. Everyday thousands of people eat, drink and snack at food establishments in Alexandria. Retail food establishments like yours have been identified as a potential target for intentional tampering and contamination of food. An attack on the food supply in Alexandria could cause mass illness and panic and have a huge effect on our economy.
What should you do?The FDA, USDA and Homeland Security have created a number of food defense tools for food establishment operators and employees. Ensure that all employees are trained in food defense and can identify potential threats to your food supply. You can start by implementing the Employees FIRST and ALERT initiatives.
Remember, you and your employees should trust your instincts. If something seems suspicious, it probably is. If You See Something, Say Something!TM
What is a Food Protection Manager?
A Food Protection Manager, FPM, ( Prviously Certified Food Manager ) is a specially trained individual who supervises the food safety operations within a restaurant, cafeteria, grocery, or other food establishment. The FPM's purpose is to reduce foodborne illness risk factors (.pdf) and implement public health interventions. The FPM is also expected to demonstration knowledge (.pdf) of food safety to the Health Department's Environmental Health Specialist while the facility is being inspected. In restaurants, the Food Protection Manager is usually a manager, chef, or cook. In a retail establishment, like a grocery store, the FPM is usually a store or department manager. The FPM should be an individual with authority to train, monitor and direct other employees.
To be considered a FPM in the City of Alexandria and Arlington County, a person needs to obtain a Northern Virginia FPM card. This card is a photo identification card issued by ORS Interactive, Inc., and is proof that the person has passed an accredited food safety exam within the last five years.

The Alexandria Food Code requires each food establishment within the City to help reduce the risk of transmitting foodborne illnesses. The Certified Food Managers and the employees of the establishment help maintain a healthy environment by mitigating risks and understanding their responsibilities for reporting illnesses and potential exposures. The following links below review the Food Code requirements and provide guidance to food establishments on how to meet them.
This information is available on a separate page.
The Health Department receives numerous requests for information about an array of food safety topics.
Many government regulatory authorities and private industry groups offer publications to help you make smart food safety decisions. Some publications we have reviewed are on the following list of publications.
Bon Appétit NewsletterQuarterly, the EH Division distributes the publication FoodTalk to establishments it permits in the City. In combination with this publication, the EH Division has created its own newsletter, Bon Appétit, to provide more specific information about the happenings in Alexandria City. Issues of Bon Appétit are available by contacting 703.746.4910.

The City of Alexandria's Food and Food Handling Code can be found in Title 11, Chapter 2 of The Code of the City of Alexandria, Virginia, 1981 as amended at the City Council's webpage: City Charter and Code. Environmental Health Specialists (EHS) are utilizing this code for all evaluations and inspections of food establishments within the City. For information regarding the code, training opportunities, etc., visit our separate web page at alexandriava.gov/11492.
View an Inspection ReportAll routine inspections of restaurants and mobile food vendors are posted on the web here. Requests for other inspections can be provided to Virginia residents through a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) through the City Attorney's Office.
What Does EH Inspect? The Environmental Health staff performs evaluations and inspections of food service establishments that the EH Division permits. These facilities include restaurants, bakeries, caterers, commissaries, public and private school kitchens, delicatessens, mobile food vendors, nursing homes, hospitals, festivals and grocery stores. EH Division does not inspect facilities that it does not permit, unless that inspection is conducted as a courtesy for another agency (ig. USDA, Social Services, etc.). When conducting inspections, the Health Department evaluates an establishment according to the current Food Code.
Inspection Types & FrequenciesThe Environmental Health field staff conduct several types of inspections, including: Routine, Risk Assessment, Training, Complaint, Follow-up, Courtesy, and Pre-opening. With the exception of the pre-opening and training inspections, all environmental health inspections are unannounced. Complaint and follow-up inspections occur on an as-needed basis, and routine inspections can occur from 1 to 5 times per year, depending on the risk posed by the food prepared and served (the higher the risk of a food borne illness = the higher the frequency of inspection). Pre-opening inspections occur by appointment only, and only when a food facility prepares to open for the for the first time, after construction or renovation, or before a seasonal facility anticipates re-opening for the spring season.

On December 1, 2009, the Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act (.pdf) established a statewide ban on smoking in restaurants in Virginia. Certain restaurants may obtain approval from the Health Department to allow smoking in certain sections in their facility, so long as they can meet the exemption(s) listed in Article 2 of the Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act. For example, one exemption requires that the restaurant be constructed in such a manner that the areas where smoking may be permitted is structurally separated from the portion of the restaurant in which smoking is prohibited and such areas are separately vented.
In Alexandria, when a restaurant qualifies for a Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act exemption (like the 'structurally separated and separately vented' exemption), the Health Department issues a notice (poster) outlining: 1) which exemption the facility has met, 2) the description of the area that the notice refers to, and, 3) a city reference number that our office can refer to during any subsequent investigation. We encourage all Alexandria patrons who observe smoking in a restaurant to ask to see the Health Department's notice (if it is not visible) and to speak candidly with the restaurant owner or manager about the new rules before making a complaint with the Health Department.
Restaurant operators and owners who are looking for more specific guidance on the Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act should review the materials below or refer back to the EH Division's main page and see our Respiratory Health Section.
Finally, restaurants in the City of Alexandria must continue to comply with the smoking prohibitions specified in Title 11, Chapter 10 of the Code of the City of Alexandria (.pdf). This section of the City Code outlines requirements for the ratio of smoking to non-smoking seats in a restaurant, and has not changed with the addition of the Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act.

Jet Airways' International guests to transfer directly to Domestic flights through CSIA's international terminal security hold area.
April 10, 2013
The Mumbai International Airport has assigned gate numbers 4 and 5 in the security hold area for incoming international guests of Jet Airways, wishing to connect to their domestic flights. Guests will be transferred to the domestic terminal to board their flights directly. The security hold area will be open between 0300 hrs and 0700, providing major relief to the arriving international passengers.
Guests arriving by Jet Airways flights between 0230 hrs and 0645 hrs and connecting to domestic flights will now transfer through the new security hold area. Guests still have the option to leave the international terminal and go on their own to the domestic terminal if they wish to do so.
Incoming passengers connecting to domestic flights are required to clear Immigration and Customs formalities, collect their bags from the conveyer belts and have them screened. Once completed, guests may proceed to the domestic transfer check-in counter to drop their bags, proceed to the security hold area in Terminal 2C, complete their security checks and board their respective flights. The security hold area has refreshments and light snack facilities along with wash rooms.
Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways said "The introduction of this facility will to a large extent reduce the hassle of passengers waiting for the inter-terminal coach to be taken to the domestic terminal and having to go through security checks again. It will also help Jet Airways to improve its on time performance and decongest the security hold area of the domestic terminal.About Jet Airways

Dad needs some help...
He is aware of NXTLOG and points out that most people just post pictures without building or programming instructions... I told him I'd share this concern with him here and see if readers had any suggestions.
Are there any websites out there with instructions for simple bots for a very young designer? (He's aware of books, mine included, so what we're really looking for here are online resources)

The problem is, the NXT is rather new; more people are playing with than designing and epublishing directions. There are some nice basic designs at LEGOWest:
And I've put up some of my designs in pictures on my Brickshelf account:
DAZLR is not quite ust the NXT kit, while the remote is, as is JennToo.

Well I'm busy with something like this.. Just because I saw this happen allready.. If the childeren are done with building the 4 default bots the get stuck..
The idea behind instructions with some education in it is that childeren will learn to build themself.. I think the younger generation today is into building the insturctions and not having the basics to get on and build further than the design given by Lego..
If i look to the son of my boss.. He is 8 years old now and having 2 years of Lego technic now.. What he build is OR the default models of the spybotic. Or something that doesn't work..
Just by pushing bricks together.. But Technic Lego isn't just bricks anymore.. So they have to think many more to build..
I have to admit that even myself has problems with studless building.. Even after building 3 years studless..
So my idea is to build some instructions about basic robots with great potention to let the free mind build more to get more functions..
For the Education and the retail version.. Only the Edu version is very expensive here.. 340 euro.. That eqvalent to 400 dollar.. :S:S
The end results will be on www.brickbash.nl But so far there is nothing to see.. The robots are taking shape but are not ready..

Yes! I think the same thing. I'm happy to build stuff on my own, but I'm sure many people new to Mindstorms want to follow directions for a while longer, especially for kids. Good to know there are some sites with building instructions around. I think they are hard to find from what I've heard.

St. Louis Blues (17-3-3) at Colorado Avalanche (17-5-0), 9 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Colorado Avalanche and rookie head coach Patrick Roy have easily been one of the biggest surprises of the 2013-14 season.
The St. Louis Blues were one team not left in awe by the Avs.
Two weeks after their first meeting of the season, the Blues and Avalanche rematch on Wednesday night in Colorado.
The Avs were coming off just their third loss in 17 games this season when they visited the Blues on Nov. 14. St. Louis, though, handed Colorado what was the second contest of an eventual three-game skid with a 7-3 decision, getting a pair of goals from Alexander Steen, four assists by T.J. Oshie and 21 saves from Jaroslav Halak.
That loss was also one of just two road setbacks suffered this season by the Avs, who are 9-3-0 at home and 8-2-0 as the visiting club.
Still, Colorado finds itself looking up at St. Louis in the standings, trailing the Blues by three points for second place in the Central Division.
After besting the Avalanche for the fourth time in the last six meetings overall, the Blues aim to snap an eight-game slide in Denver. They have not won in Colorado since a 1-0 triumph on April 12, 2009.
St. Louis has put together a 10-2-1 record this month and is coming off a 3-0 victory over the visiting Minnesota Wild on Monday. Halak made 22 saves in his second shutout of the season and 27th of his career, with a club-record 18 of those coming with the Blues.
Halak wasn't tested much early, making just 10 saves through the first 40 minutes.
"The first two periods, it was no shots again, no action for me, just a couple shots," Halak said. "I just needed to stay focused tonight. It wasn't easy, but going into the third and having the lead, that's what we wanted."
Vladimir Sobotka scored 1:20 into the second period and Steen scored the first of his two goals 13:38 into the frame. He added an empty-net tally for his 19th goal and 29th point of the season -- both ranked second in the NHL.
Steen's two goals earlier this season against Colorado gave him six tallies and 12 points in 20 career meetings, while Halak is 3-2-2 with a 2.67 goals against average versus the Avs and will start tonight.
The Avalanche have won three in a row since that aforementioned three-game slide and notched a 1-0 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
Semyon Varlamov made 19 saves in his first shutout of the season and 12th of his career, while Jamie McGinn was credited with the winning goal at 2:31 of overtime after his shot hit off Los Angeles' Jarret Stoll and in.
"It was a 60-minute effort, I thought it was one of the best game of the year. It was the best game of the year for us," said Roy.
All three wins have come minus forward Matt Duchene, who leads the Avalanche with 12 goals and 20 points but is out with a strained oblique and is not expected to play tonight.
Duchene scored versus the Blues on Nov. 14 and Varlamov relieved Jean- Sebastian Giguere for a spell during the loss and yielded two goals on six shots in 13 minutes of work.
Varlamov will start tonight and is 4-2-1 with a 2.03 GAA in seven previous meetings with the Blues.

If the towing wars between Detroit's heavy-duty pickups are an automotive cold war, the 2013 Ram 3500 is the Tsar Bomba. The Tsar Bomba was the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated. It had a theoretical yield of 100 megatons of power but had to be reduced to 50 megatons for testing purposes. Unleashing the full potential of the Tsar Bomba during a test would have yielded too much fallout, much like trying to tow 30,000 pounds without a commercial driver's license on public roads.

Hi from Aotearoa/New Zealand or down under (but what does that really mean from outer space?)
I was stimulated to register and contribute to this forum by my second reading (about 5 years or so apart) of Strata. I am bemused that this novel is generally regarded as science fiction and not a disc world novel. Now this is a really good thing, because it means the price of my second hand copy was much lower! But are the reviewers really correct when that claim that Strata is a science fiction and not a disc world novel? Perhaps because my life is lived upside down and the blood was constantly drain to my head, but I wonder whether Strata is actually the ORIGINAL disc world novel? Given that I come from down under, and that my blood must drain to my head, I am probably completely mistaken. What do other readers think?

Since then I have a regular order with the Hogfather who is very cooperative, though occasionally I suspect he's read them first!

I've read that LaTeX can be used also for presentation, and that there are tools to make PDF presentations.
But I'm wondering: since LaTeX is a typographic language made to separate content from style, and being PDF a format designed for printing; what are this presentation tools meant for? Maybe i'm thinking to the wrong type of presentation?
What's the reason for using LaTeX for this task?
UPDATE: I'm asking this because I'm about to start making a presentation, and yes, I'd prefer getting out from PowerPoint; I like vector graphics and I was wondering if it's possible to create a sort of vectorial GIF (just to give the idea), or anyway something of platform-independent. But I find PDF too static for this purpose (maybe it's just a personal feeling).

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Well, as if you didn't know by now, the game is up: we aren't offering any availability in Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace. It was a nice thought, though.
That said, it's totally true that we're on the cusp of launching a fresh new design for our website, which will come around in May. Keep your eyes peeled for that one.
If you liked this little ruse, have a quick look at these famous April Fools' hoaxes:
1. San Serriffe
In 1977 British newspaper The Guardian reported that it had identified a new island called San Serriffe, located in the Indian Ocean.
2. The Jupiter Effect
In 1976 famous astronomer Sir Patrick Moore announced that Earth's gravity would be suddenly reduced thanks to a specific planetary alignment.
3. Flying penguins
In 2008 the BBC released a video of flying penguins that migrate to spend the Antarctic winter in South American rainforest:
4. Nessie found
Remember our Mythical Tours blogpost? In 1972 a team from Flamingo Park Zoo found what they suspected to be the body of the Loch Ness Monster.
5. New York's parade
In 2000 prankster Joey Skaggs was successful in convincing CNN and WNYW to film the 15th Annual New York City April Fools' Day Parade.
6. The Derbyshire Fairy
Finally, how could we leave out Derbyshire? Occupying a central role in a multitude of global fields including industry, politics, the arts and the natural world, Derbyshire is regarded by many as the magic epicentre of Britain. Not so surprising, then, that the Derbyshire Fairy was discovered in 2007.
Of course, this is just our pick of the bunch, but there's loads more out there to have a chuckle at.
If staying in a palace isn't really within your means, why not have a look at some of our budget accommodation as an alternative?
We wish everybody a fantastic April.

Still Life with Peaches
With a few objects arranged on a ledge before an indistinct background, Raphaelle Peale's paintings suggest a restraint that perhaps reflects the impoverished circumstances of the artist's life. In Still Life with Peaches, the relatively expensive dessert bowl adds refinement to the composition, but in all likelihood, Peale did not himself own it. Still Life with Cake portrays only a blemished apple, raisins, and a "poor man's pound cake," usually made from leftover dough, to which sugar or nutmeg would be added.

Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen

Newcastle Realty's Late Year Pickups Highlight Record Fourth Quarter for Investment Sales
Real estate investment firm Newcastle Realty Services purchased neighboring apartment buildings at 656 and 759 St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem for a combined $5.6 million from Colorado-based real estate firm Aimco late last year, city records posted yesterday show.
Sellers sought to unload properties before looming capital gains tax hikes as December wound down, a main reason why the fourth quarter was the strongest investment sales quarter in two and a half decades.
The firm paid $4.4 million for the six-story, 20,640-square-foot property at 656 St. Nicholas Avenue, which features 30 residential units; and $1.2 million for the building at 759 — a 5,666-square-foot, four-story building with nine units. Read More

I was watching the bonus stuff to the Wyrd Sisters cartoon ( I need to order that book. I think Magrat is wonderful) and they mentioned that Terry was born and grew up in Beaconsfield. Not really all that important, lots of people do. But I was startled because I associate the name with a guy who moved into the place when he was kind of old. He got his start writing speculative fiction, was sort of like Vetinari in his estimation of the human animal (but was far more of a voluptuary) and his level of cynicism. And also like Vetinari in his level of pragmatic patriotism when most of his contemporaries were interested in the Ronnie Rust version.
Anyway, it was an interesting and odd connection, and given Pratchett's views of statecraft, strangely apt.

The sea is inextricably linked with Dutch history and culture – after all, more than half the land lies below sea level and has been reclaimed over many centuries. This gives rise to a unique landscape of polders, canals, dykes and windmills. With few hills and wide vistas, it's a cyclist's paradise.
Like the UK, the Dutch cherish a history as a great trading nation and a meeting place for cultures from around the world – you will find a warm and friendly welcome for everyone. They are great linguists. Most Dutch speak English, particularly when discussing the merits of football teams.
The magnificent city of Amsterdam, with its network of canals typifies this international outlook: cosmopolitan and friendly, but with a character that is uniquely Dutch. Other cities boast their own attractions – from the pottery of Delft to the antiquity of Maastricht.
The Dutch penchant for trading continues – not just in their international business, but also in markets held in towns and villages up and down the country. The most famous of these are the huge markets for flowers and cheese which prove a great attraction for visitors.
You would have to go a long way to find a warmer holiday welcome.

Controversy Ignited By Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress On Wikipedia
The wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William was undoubtedly anticipated, as was the dress she would wear. Sketches by the world's top bridal designers hit newsstands as they predicted what style of dress Kate might choose for her big day. It was Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton that she so gracefully wore and that has influenced bridal fashion.
The controversy over the fact that the gown has it's own Wikipedia page has sparked great debate since it's publication on the site, and at the 2012 Wikimania conference last week. While I will concede that it could be part of Kate's main Wikipedia page, the reasons for uproar about this are more absurd than the argument itself. This is nuts!
The page was requested for deletion immediately after it appeared. Comments included, "This is frankly trivial, and surely isn't notable enough to be on Wikipedia." Another commenter added, "The sheer presence of this article is one of the lowest points ever reached by Wikipedia! What amazes me is that there's acculturated people (since the article was well written) who has such interests, and free time to lose to devoted themselves for such totally irrelevant arguments."
Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia's co-founder and man responsible for approving the "Wedding Dress of Kate Middleton" page defended the article at last week's Wikimania conference. He referred to the gown's predicted long-term impact on fashion and said, "Fashion may seem frivolous, but it's an industry worth billions and wedding attire is a significant portion of that business."
This iconic gown, reminiscent of Grace Kelly, will influence dress designs for years, and the article is interesting, well-written, and well-referenced for those who are interested. Wales also commented on the fact that the page is welcomed by fashion students, designers, brides-to-be, and people who are fascinated with royal history.
Sadly, some not-so-loyal royal fans have placed Kate, and her dresses, up for ridicule. I say jealousy, others may say she is part of a society that is spoiled. Regardless, her grace, charm, and poise (not to mention attractive figure and sense of style), has captivated so many others. So much so, that we want to know what she is wearing, who made it, and where we can get the look.

Officials: Man killed was a fugitive on paroleBy Meghan Foley
and Danielle Rivard
THE KEENE SENTINEL | April 02,2013
BohannonWALPOLE, N.H. Details are emerging about the man killed in an officer-involved shooting Friday.
Larry A. Bohannon, 51, of Grafton, was a fugitive on parole in New Hampshire when he was shot and killed after a robbery in Bellows Falls on Friday afternoon, according to the N.H. Department of Corrections.
In 1994, Bohannon was convicted of kidnapping in Sullivan County and bail jumping in Cheshire County. He served time in the N.H. State Prison until March 1997, when he was released on parole, according to Jeffrey J. Lyons, N.H. Department of Corrections public information officer.
Bohannon was sentenced to two to 20 years in prison for both crimes, which ran concurrently, according to Lyons.
Bohannon then returned to prison for a parole violation in December 2007 before being released in June 2008, Lyons said. In July 2011, Bohannon was deemed a fugitive when he failed to report to his parole officer. Authorities then issued a warrant for his arrest, according to Lyons.
Lyons said Bohannon had a kidnapping conviction from another state in 1995, but he didnt have any further information.
Bohannon was one of two men arrested by police in New Hampshire in connection with the kidnapping of Donald Coull of Claremont and Randy Crawford of Springfield, Vt., in October 1993, according to an Associated Press article published in The Sentinel Dec. 2, 1994. Neither Coull nor Crawford were hurt in the incident, the article stated. At the time, Bohannon lived in Ashuelot.
According to the article, authorities said Bohannon and a Keene man who knew Coull, picked him up, telling him they were going to show him their new apartment. Bohannon and the other man held Coull at gunpoint, accused him of stealing a generator, and repeatedly threatened him, the article stated, citing police.
Some time after kidnapping Coull, Bohannon and the other man picked up Crawford, and also held him against his will, according to information from police included in the article. Both Coull and Crawford were later released at Crawfords house, the article stated.
Bohannon pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping and simple assault in criminal court in Brattleboro Dec. 1, 1994, according to the article.
On Dec. 23, 1994, Bohannon pleaded no contest to both charges, court documents stated. He was sentenced on Jan. 13, 1995, to two to 20 years in jail for the kidnapping, and up to 12 months for the simple assault, according to court documents. Information was unavailable about how many years of the sentence he served, and where he was incarcerated.
Bohannon died Friday from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen after a police pursuit that ended when his pickup crashed on Upper Walpole Road at about 4:30 p.m.
Shortly before the shooting, Bohannon robbed Snow and Lear/Newton Business in Bellows Falls at gunpoint at 4:16 p.m., according to police. He fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, and was seen by witnesses speeding from downtown in a dark-colored pickup, according to authorities.
The clerk at the office and stationery supply store during the armed robbery, Nancy Staniszewski, who is in her 70s and lives in North Walpole, was not hurt.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Bohannons death is continuing and no further information is expected to be released until early next week, according to a joint news release issued Saturday by N.H. Attorney General Michael Delaney, State Police and the police chiefs in Walpole and Alstead.
In a post on the Walpole Police Department Facebook page Saturday morning, officers thanked residents for their thoughts, prayers and support in the wake of the shooting.
As you all can imagine, its been a busy night. Were all fine and will get through this. Just a reminder that it can, and does happen in smaller towns, the posting stated.
Janice K. Rundles, N.H. senior assistant attorney general, said Sunday she couldnt comment if Bohannon might be linked to a recent slew of armed robberies in the area. The most recent of those robberies happened on the night of March 19 in Keene.
Keene police could not comment Monday if there was a connection between Bohannon and the robberies.
There have been at least five other armed robberies reported in the area since December.
We are looking into all circumstances and his background, Rundles said, referring to Bohannon.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

Spring weather can be unpredictable. When severe weather hits unexpectedly, the risk of injury and death increases, so planning ahead makes sense. Prepare for storms, floods, and tornadoes as if you know in advance they are coming, because in the spring, they very likely will.
Advance planning for thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes and floods requires specific safety precautions. Still, you can follow many of the same steps for all extreme weather events. You should have on hand:
Prepare your family members for the possibility of severe weather. Tell them where to seek appropriate shelter as soon as they are aware of an approaching storm. Practice your emergency plan for every type of severe weather. Show family members where the emergency supplies are stored, and make sure they know how to turn off the water, gas, and electricity in your home.

"One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag," Johns has said of this work, "and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it." Those materials included three canvases that he mounted on plywood, strips of newspaper, and encaustic paint—a mixture of pigment and molten wax that has formed a surface of lumps and smears. The newspaper scraps visible beneath the stripes and forty-eight stars lend this icon historical specificity. The American flag is something "the mind already knows," Johns has said, but its execution complicates the representation and invites close inspection. A critic of the time encapsulated this painting's ambivalence, asking, "Is this a flag or a painting?"
MoMA Audio: Collection, 2008, 420
Curator, Anne Umland: Johns set out to paint commonplace, recognizable objects, the things as he once said, "that the mind already knows," which included maps, numbers, letters of the alphabet, targets, and as in this case, flags. I think even from a distance, when you look at Jasper Johns Flag, it's clear that this is not your typical everyday American flag.
In the first place, as you can see when you look closely, this is a flag that is constructed, not sewn. It's solid, right? It's thick. It's object-like. It has this surface that is smeared and painted and dripped on with colored encaustic, which is a mixture of wax and pigment. You can see through it.
And underneath the pigment are strips of collaged newspapers. And when you really begin to look at these you can see that there are dates that are recognizable they allow us to locate this painting, this flag, this timeless symbol of our nation within a very particular context, the 1950s in America, which is right in the midst of the McCarthy era and the beginning of the Cold War, when symbols such as the flag would have had a very particular and potent valence.
Using the flag, Johns said, gave him a great deal of freedom, because he didn't have to design it. It was a symbol that gave him room to work on other levels, and specifically, on the making of the painting.
The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 232
When Johns made Flag, the dominant American art was Abstract Expressionism, which enthroned the bold, spontaneous use of gesture and color to evoke emotional response. Johns, though, had begun to paint common, instantly recognizable symbols—flags, targets, numbers, letters. Breaking with the idea of the canvas as a field for abstract personal expression, he painted "things the mind already knows." Using the flag, Johns said, "took care of a great deal for me because I didn't have to design it." That gave him "room to work on other levels"—to focus his attention on the making of the painting.
The color, for example, is applied not to canvas but to strips of newspaper—a material almost too ordinary to notice. Upon closer inspection, though, those scraps of newsprint are as hard to ignore as they are to read. Also, instead of working with oil paint, Johns chose encaustic, a mixture of pigment and molten wax that has left a surface of lumps and smears; so that even though one recognizes the image in a second, close up it becomes textured and elaborate. It is at once impersonal, or public, and personal; abstract and representational; easily grasped and demanding of close attention.

Series of 6 size exclusion chromatography columns showing the separation of Vitamin B12 and hemoglobin.
The Size Exclusion Chromatography Kit teaches the basic principles of size exclusion chromatography, a type of column chromatography used to separate solubilized molecules by their size or molecular weight.
Features and Benefits
With this kit, students are able to:
How It Works
In this laboratory activity, a mixture of colored molecules in solution, hemoglobin (reddish-brown; molecular mass of 65,000 Da) and vitamin B12 (pink; molecular mass of 1,350 Da), is applied to a chromatography column containing microscopic porous beads. The contrasting colors are easily visible as the molecules pass through the column. The larger molecules bypass and flow around the beads. They are excluded from entering the pores by their size and flow through the column with relative speed. Smaller molecules enter the porous beads and are impeded in their flow through the column. The solutes' different rates of travel through the column lead to effective separation.

Superman was kinda bored so he just started flying around looking for something to do. He's flying over Wonder Woman's house and sees her bedroom window is open. He stops for a glimpse and sees her lying on her bed naked. She's lying there and squirming around looking real hot.
Superman was getting turned on looking at her, so he decides what the hell, I can just fly in real quick, give her the ole' in-out and be out of there before she even knows what hit her. After all, I am Superman.
So, in he goes, wham-bam and he's out of there.
Wonder Woman: "What the f*** was that?"
The Invisible Man: "I don't know, but my arse hurts like hell."


text: It would boost ratings if there were a strong enough opposition to battle Cena. Even if the Rock were to sign back with WWE to a "Lesnar-type" contract, it still wouldn't be enough; they would need him full time, which will not happen. Who would a heel Cena battle in-between for the interest in the character to remain? Face Sheamus vs. Heel Cena isn't going to happen unless they unify the titles and Sheamus is no long the "face of SmackDown!" (sorry Randy). Orton isn't the "Savior" type of character, Rey Rey has been out of the hunt for a while. Ryback isn't ready. The only "possible" lead for someone to face Cena would be Miz... I haven't seen enough of his face turn to fully invest in a role reversed angle between the two. This would require a HUGE amount of faith in Miz, which I don't see the E Universe having the amount require to pull the trigger on this angle at this moment in time. My point - without enough "stand out" face characters in the WWE, they can't take their one stand out and flip him. It would be of less value and would do the opposite of increase ratings.

ST. LOUIS ⎯ Scientists at Saint Louis University's Center for Vaccine Development will conduct a clinical trial of an investigational vaccine for tuberculosis, the world's second deadliest infectious disease.
The vaccine, which is called AERAS-422, is a modernized version of the current Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) TB vaccine. Developed nearly 90 years ago, the BCG vaccine is not considered very effective in preventing pulmonary TB in adolescents and adults, which now is the population with the highest rates of TB.
|Daniel Hoft, M.D., Ph.D.
With an estimated 1.8 million deaths and nearly 9.3 million new cases of tuberculosis diagnosed in 2007, finding a safe and effective vaccine is a global priority, said Daniel Hoft, M.D., Ph.D., a researcher at SLU's Center for Vaccine Development and director of infectious diseases, allergy and immunology at Saint Louis University.
"The TB vaccine field has made tremendous progress over the past 10 years," Hoft said. "Not only is the start of the clinical trial of AERAS-422 another important benchmark in the search for more effective TB vaccines, it is also an opportunity to learn more about cellular immunity, which is less understood but crucially important in developing TB vaccines."
The live recombinant investigational vaccine that SLU will study is designed to interrupt TB at all stages of infection and protect against all forms of TB. The research is funded by Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation, a non-profit research organization supported primarily by private foundations and government aid agencies. Saint Louis University is the only institution conducting the Phase 1 clinical trial.
As part of its TB vaccine research, Saint Louis University will be part of a collaborative consortium put together by Aeras that is studying new biomarker assays that better assess TB vaccine-induced immunity. Those assays would be used in the clinical trial of AERAS-422 at SLU.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a grant to Aeras to develop these biomarkers, which are functional and biological immune responses that correlate with vaccine efficacy. Hoft will serve as co-investigator on this FDA grant, conducting both clinical studies of new TB vaccines and basic immune research in his laboratory with the goal of identifying vaccine responses capable of inhibiting growth of the TB germ.
The biomarkers would standardize and streamline clinical studies of vaccines from different research institutions, in different locations and within different age groups and populations. Biomarkers potentially would shorten timeframes for introducing new TB vaccines by standardizing research.
Other institutions collaborating on the initiative are Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford; South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative at the University of Cape Town; and Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease and heart/lung disease.

By STEVEN NALLEY
A representative from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History fielded questions from an audience of more than 20 at a public hearing on downtown Starkville's nomination for the National Register of Historic Places at the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum Monday.
Bill Gatlin, national register coordinator with MDAH, gave a presentation detailing what it would mean for Starkville to join the NRHP followed by a question-and-answer session.
Gatlin said the NRHP's regulations only come into play if building owners seek tax credits on alterations. It also compels the federal government to consider any impact its activities might have on properties within historic districts, he said. For instance, if the federal government wanted to expand Main Street to four lanes, he said the NRHP would not stop it, but it would force the federal government to evaluate the project's impact on historic buildings.
The NRHP does not require property owners to seek prior approval to alter or even demolish their property, Gatlin said. It also does not impose an affirmative duty to maintain property or to open the property to the public, he said.
"If you want to paint it purple, you can paint it purple," Gatlin said. "If you want to tear the building down, you can tear the building down. You don't have to ask permission."
Gatlin also explained the NRHP process. He said the Mississippi Historic Preservation Professional Review Board will determine whether the nomination advances to the national level for approval on May 17, and any building owners who want to object to the nomination must send their objections in writing to MDAH before May 17. Each owner has one vote, he said, even if they own more than one property, but if 50 percent plus one of the owners object, the district will not be listed.
"If you object, you need to file the written objection." Gatlin said. "Saying nothing is essentially a 'yes' vote."
During the presentation, Tom Walker, a commissioner on the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission, asked if it was logical for local governments to add national historic districts to their own register of local historic districts. Gatlin repeatedly said the process Walker described was not automatic.
Walker said, "It is not automatic, but is it logical?"
Gatlin said, "There are lots and lots of communities that have national register districts that are not local. It is not a logical assumption that because you will do one you will do the other. That will be another discussion. Your city council will make that decision."
When the time came for the questions and answers, several in the audience continued to ask questions about national districts and local districts. Speaking on behalf of First Baptist Church, Dora Herring read a memo from FBC asking MDAH to exempt a specific area from the district.
"We are requesting that the area... bordered on the west by Washington Street, on the east by Jackson Street, on the north by Lampkin Street and on the south by the railroad be omitted from the currently planned downtown historic district designation," Herring said.
First Baptist Church either owns or is in negotiations to own much of this property, Herring said, and five of six buildings it is currently tearing down or moving are currently identified as contributing to the district.
"They'll be gone by the fall," Herring said. "... This property is old and not logical to be economically feasible for full renewal," Herring said. "We believe that none of our development and growth being done now and planned in the future is compatible to a historic district, because this entire area will be parking or new buildings."
Gatlin said joining the NRHP will not prevent any of the FBC activities Herring described, but Herring said she was still concerned about a local district changing that. Gatlin said a local district does not have to share the same boundaries as a national district, so when the local district goes before the board of aldermen, she will have an opportunity to ask the city to exempt FBC properties from the local district even if they are already part of the national district.
"You'll get plenty of opportunity to discuss (a local historic district) before it happens," Gatlin said. "Aldermen are politicians; they want to get re-elected."
Dan Moreland, owner of several Starkville businesses and rental properties, promptly replied, eliciting some laughter.
"Apparently, you're not familiar with Starkville," Moreland said.
Another member of the audience, Phil Hartness, asked Gatlin if there was a way to get out of membership in the NRHP once it has been established. He said he was concerned about what would happen if the federal government changed NRHP regulations in the future.
"If they change the rules of the game," Hartness asked, "how do you get out of it?"

Hi everyone, this is my first ever post on a Terry Pratchett forum. So I apologise for any unintentional ignorance.
I have a good collection of his books in paper and hard back, I have a few double and even triple copies. What I am totally unsure of, and wonder if anyone can shed some light, is how to tell if a book is a first edition?
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I don't have any signed copies at all.

Advanced NXT: The Da Vinci Inventions Book
I'm proud to announce that my NXT book that is to appear in June is listed now on Amazon.com!
As you might deduce from the abstract there, it's about re-building some of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous inventions with LEGO and powering them with the NXT.
All these robots get programmed with the five programming environments that are available presently to execute NXT programs directly on the brick (NXT-G, NXC, RobotC, pbLua and leJOS NXJ).
ps Will have to talk to the arts dept. on the cover, though. ;-)

Yeah, they do... they have a series of books called "Technology in Action" and all of them have this standard look. The brown is actually a dark amber, but the pictures for some reason do look brown.

Can you build the projects with the retail kit or will you need extra parts...?

Hi all,
thanks for the encouraging comments! :-)
Yes, I'd like to have some of Leonardo's original sketches on it - they are very picturesque, after all.
Alejandro, you will need more than a retail kit, I'm afraid - not for brick, motors or sensors, but for the extra technical parts like beams, bricks with holes and turntables, mainly.

How does one get the extra parts needed for this latest book? Is there any inventory list somewhere? I was looking for parts for the Mayan Adventure and I ran into the same problem. Right now, I am looking for all the parts needed for the Mayan Adventure, I will need to do the same for the new Da Vinci book. Does anyone know how I can get an inventory of the parts. I have pictures galore but no part numbers.
- Feb 25, 2007, 7:19:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I can't speak for Matthias' book, but my Mayan book uses the parts found in just ONE NXT retail kit. No additional LEGO parts needed. Now, if you own the Educational version, it's a different story... the main limitation being my use of the Hassenpin and these not being included in the basic version of the Educational kit (unless something has changed).
- Feb 25, 2007, 7:44:00 AM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
that's a pretty good idea indeed.
If I find the time, I'm going to include some "bills of parts required that are not contained in one retail kit, and where to find them" list for each robot in the book.
By the way, Peeron is a good source for finding kits that include given parts.

- Larry Langellier said...
If one had the educational version of the NXT and then purchased the NXT Education Resource Set (http://www.legoeducation.com/store/detail.aspx?by=6&pl=10&ID=1277) would you have enough parts for The Mayan Adventure? For the Da Vinci Inventions?

The point in him fighting at 170 is that is where he is comfortable fighting. There are plenty of ways of booking fights so that he doesn't derail a upcoming challenger having him fight Condit coming of a title fight loss is a perfect example. You don;t seem to get that all the MW's cut weight as well and most of them are cutting from higher then 200lbs why does Rory need to fight bigger guys at this point in his career? because he was bigger then Penn?
As others have mentioned Rory is still a ways off a tittle shot with current circumstances he has no top ten wins and it is no guarantee that he beats Condit in a rematch. Worry about him fighting for a title or not fighting for one when he even gets to that point.
