One of the questions of the tragic killing of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney and eight of his church members at Emanuel AME Church is why him? And why now?
Maybe, just maybe, the answer is the date – June 17th. It was on this date that Dylann Roof opened fire. It was also on this date, 193 years earlier, that Denmark Vesey, a founder of Emanuel, planned to launch a slave rebellion in Charleston.

Tradition built on defense
The Steelers are known for their defense, whether it be the Steel Curtain of the 1970s or the current unit under Dick LeBeau. In fact, the Steelers have led the NFL in total defense 10 different times in their history, more than any other franchise. The Chicago Bears are second on the list, having led the league eight times. The Steelers have led the league in yards allowed four times in the last six years, while they only did so twice during the Steel Curtain era. The years in which Pittsburgh led the league were 1957, 1974, 1976, 1990, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan)
Caught in a draft
The Steelers haven't selected a player in the top 10 of the NFL draft since selecting Plaxico Burress eighth overall in the 2000 NFL Draft. In contrast, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected a player in the top 10 in each of the last six drafts. The Steelers have not chosen in the top five of the draft since selecting Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw with the first overall pick in 1970. (Associated Press)
Coaching lineage
Since Chuck Noll took over as the Steelers' head coach in 1969, Pittsburgh has had just three head coaches. Noll was with the Steelers from 1969 through 1991 before Bill Cowher took over from 1992 through 2006. Mike Tomlin has been the head man in Pittsburgh since 2007. Over that same time span, the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts franchise has employed a league-high 18 head coaches. (Associated Press)
Tale of two QBs
Each of the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks eventually became the franchise's all-time leading passer. Both Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger accomplished the feat against the same franchise. Bradshaw passed Bobby Layne and his 9,030 yards against the Houston Oilers on Nov. 24, 1975. Roethlisberger passed Bradshaw and his 27,989 yards on Oct. 11, 2012 against the Tennessee Titans. (Associated Press)
Steelers' run game stalls
Jonathan Dwyer led the Steelers with 623 rushing yards last season. That is the fewest yards for the Steelers' leading rusher since Merril Hoge led the 1991 Steelers with 610 yards. It is probably not a coincidence Pittsburgh missed the playoffs each season (8-8 in 2012, 7-9 in 1991). (AP Photo/Tom Hauck)
Durability a concern
Ben Roethlisberger has only played all 16 games of a season once in his career, and that came in 2008. That season, the Steelers went 12-4 and defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 27-23, in Super Bowl XLIII. Roethlisberger, who has thrown as many as 32 touchdowns in a season (2007), tied a career-low of 17 touchdown passes in the only season in which he played every game. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
The pick is the thing in Pittsburgh
The Steelers had just 10 interceptions on defense last season (T-27th in the NFL). That number is tied for the second-lowest in team history (1955). The only season in which the Steelers had fewer interceptions was in 1940 when they had eight. Pro Football Hall of Famer Mel Blount intercepted 11 passes during the 1975 season, a season in which the Steelers finished 12-2 and won their second of back-to-back Super Bowls over the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl X. (AP Photo/Paul Spinelli)
Getting sacked in the Steel City
Ben Roethlisberger has been sacked 334 times in his career (over 100 times more than any other quarterback since 2004), and the Steelers have ranked in the bottom half in sacks allowed each of the past six seasons. The futility of their offensive line is not just a current phenomenon. On Nov. 20, 1966, the Steelers' quarterbacks were sacked a record 12 times in one game by the Dallas Cowboys. In that game, the Steelers lost more yards on sacks (77) than they gained rushing (53), almost eclipsing their 80 return yards. The Steelers had the same total number of sacks (12) and interceptions (2) as they did completions (14) en route to a 20-7 loss. (AP Photo/LM Otero)
A real steal-er
Rod Woodson holds the NFL record for most interception return TDs (12), ranks third all time in interceptions (71) and ranks second in interception return yards behind only Ed Reed. In 1995, he tore his ACL after trying to tackle fellow Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders and became the first player to come back from reconstructive knee surgery in the same season. He returned in Super Bowl XXX to face Michael Irvin, who was held scoreless. Seven years later, Woodson tied another record with three fumble recoveries in a single game, this time as a member of the Oakland Raiders against his former team, the Steelers. (AP Photo/Jeff Glidden)
How's that for starters?
Taking over in Week 3 of the 2004 season, rookie Ben Roethlisberger won 14 consecutive games, setting the record for most wins by a rookie quarterback. Roethlisberger's 98.1 passer rating and 66.4 completion percentage broke Pittsburgh native Dan Marino's rookie records. Big Ben's rookie passer rating record was broken by both Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III in 2012, but his completion percentage still stands as the mark to beat. (AP Photo/Steve Mitchell)

July 8 2015 Latest news:
The winning Coldfair Green team at this year's Alde Valley swimming gala
Monday, March 24, 2014
Cheers echoed round a Suffolk leisure centre as young swimmers competed to become champions of a primary school gala.
Alde Valley School invited eight partnership primary schools along to the local pool in Leiston for the event, which involved teams of children from Yoxford, Saxmundham, Leiston, Coldfair Green, Benhall St Mary, Bramfield, Kelsale, Snape, Aldeburgh, Middleton and Peasenhall.
Leiston and District Swimming Club helped out by providing equipment, including an electronic scoreboard for pupils to keep track of race results.
Alde Valley GCSE pupils kept time and lent support to the competitors, while PE teacher Danny Laws and his sports leader students helped by overseeing proceedings.
The overall winners were the team from Coldfair Green, who led the heats right up to the finals.

Younger Player (U-8 through U-10) Policies Updated
The rulebook has been updated to show the U-10 play up policy (identical to MYSA Policy 2.10 with the addition of how to satisfy the League Notification policy) and the U-8 play policy which is more restrictive than the MYSA Policy 2.11. Bylaw 5E was adopted. It is shown below - it includes grandfathering or existing players which is now moot as all the players eligible under the grandfathering have aged into the appropriate age groups.
5. E. U8 and younger players are not permitted on BAYS teams. An automatic age waiver may be granted for a U8 player in the third grade or higher to play in U9 (or U10 if the club does not offer U9) only. Any player who played in the 2011/2012 Season at U-10 or U-9 as a U-8 or below player will be allowed to play in the 2012/2013 soccer year.

Luanda — The services of support to the Presidency of the Republic Wednesday in Luanda denied reports by the weekly "Folha 8" that the generals Manuel Hélder Vieira Dias "Kopelipa" and Antonio Jose Maria, heads of the Civilian Affairs office and of the Military Intelligence Services, respectively, were under the custody of the Military Judiciary.
According to a note that reached Angop Angop, the reports by the weekly are a gross fabrication by the newspaper.
"The said generals continue in their normal duties and there are no reasons leading to situations reported by that weekly which, with this, seems to be confusing its wish with the reality", reads the note.
The Presidency Support Services says as well that the publication of such stories that are no more than mere speculations, deliberately aim at installing confusion within the public opinion which is damaging to the image of the weekly, which just confirms its lack of seriousness and credibility.


text: Many people believe that suppressors need to be kept very clean to perform well. This is not true. All of our silencers are sealed and welded, and cannot be taken apart. We do this to produce the strongest, lightest, and smallest suppressor, since adding threads would compromise one of more of those factors. In addition, the full 360-degree welded baffle core featured in most of our centerfire suppressors could not be taken apart anyway. We also do this to ensure long-term accuracy and reliability of the product. Our centerfire rifle suppressors need no cleaning. The only "gunk" they accumulate is some carbon buildup, which is self-limiting since each shot will knock some loose. There is no need to clean our centerfire suppressors, other than making sure the threads are clear. The rimfire suppressors will collect some carbon/lead/wax buildup over long periods of time, but most people will never see any performance impact because of this. A moderately fouled .22 suppressor is usually quieter than a totally clean one, too. Eventually, you will see the weight of the suppressor increase slightly due to accumulated fouling. Long after this, you might be able to tell a difference in suppression due to decreased volume, but it will take a huge number of rounds to get to that point. Unlike suppressors made of some other materials, our all-titanium silencers can be cleaned very effectively without taking them apart, by using one of two methods: (1) drop it in an ultrasonic cleaner for a few minutes, or (2) use the widely-known "vinegar and peroxide" method. Both of these will clean anything out that's in the suppressor. Appropriate precautions and disposal methods must be taken with the output of this process because it is toxic. We offer one free cleaning per year in our ultrasonic cleaner if the customer covers shipping. For what it's worth, I never clean my personal or "demo" suppressors, even when shooting matches throughout the year.

Ithaca, NY — As oil washes ashore along the Gulf Coast, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/netcommunity/Page.aspx?pid=1478) is asking birders to keep an eye on nesting birds — not just near water, but hundreds of miles inland.

Tim Tebow: Broken ribs revealed after blowout game
Tim Tebow has two broken ribs, the Associated Press reports. It's a revelation to New York Jets fans, who were chanting Tebow's name during the Thanksgiving Day 49-19 loss to the New England Patriots.
The Jets have been criticized for underutilizing Tebow in the backup quarterback position. The controversial player has mostly acted as a punt protector on special teams since the Jets picked him up for the 2012 NFL season.
Frustrated fans at MetLife Stadium chanted for Tebow to replace quarterback Mark Sanchez as the team suffered an embarrassing loss to the Patriots. But there was no way coach Rex Ryan was going to put him in the game.
When it was revealed to reporters after the loss that Tebow had suffered two broken ribs during a previous match against the Seattle Seahawks, Ryan explained the injury seemed to worsen in recent days.
"I was standing there and I was like, 'I'm not going to play this kid,'" says Ryan. "I wouldn't play my son in that kind of situation. To Tim's credit, he wanted to be there for his team."
For his part, Tebow says he was ready to play. "I had to do a little bit of talking just to dress," Tebow says. "But I just want to be there for my teammates in case they needed me in an emergency situation."

Tomorrow night, the Oakland school board votes on a resolution that would establish its intent to give principals, school staff members and families greater authority to improve their school as they see fit.
Each school would create a "Theory of Action," to which it would align its "people, programs, money, and time."
The board would also attempt to give local leaders more say in who works at their schools, a strategy which proved to be a sticking point with the teachers union this year. (In resolution language: "Strengthen the ability of school governance teams, through established collective bargaining protocols and agreements, to determine the composition of their employee teams.")
It would allocate funding to schools based on student "needs and life circumstances." Details TBD.
This one-page policy proposal (embedded below) was vetted by members of the Special Committee on School-Based Management and Budgeting and was presented to the school board for a first reading last week.

Hunky Bars — Quilt Tutorial
Hi there! I'm pretty sure most of us quilters have to do lists miles long, so long in fact, it gets overwhelming. I have a fast, easy, super cute quilt that you can finish in a couple days! Most of you could probably figure this out – but I already did all the math for you, no thinking, just cut and sew this quilt! Show off the prints you love most :)
Hunky Bars – 60″ x 62″ – you do get the play on words, right!?
My quilt is made with six beautiful Hunky Dory prints, use the same prints or raid your stash for your favorite prints that you can't cut into, but would love to have a quilt with! I've simply numbered the fabrics so that you can decide which works best for you – be creative!

Martha also has a tutorial for roman shades that may be helpful.

Like New Ironing Board
I think it is better than new! The fabric used on most ironing boards is so cheap – flimsy, rough, and blah. I've had my current ironing board for about a year, and I was happy for the first week, then the first hole appeared in the side! I put the recovering effort on the to do list, and there it sat, until now :) My delay has been part, lack of fabric/time, part calculating a plan.
What do you think!? I'm pleased as punch!
Anticipating questions, I took a few pictures. My desire with this cover is to remove it and wash it as needed.

Basics Tutorial : Sewing Accurate 1/4" Seams
While a lot of quilts can be made without using an accurate 1/4″ seam, if you are following a pattern, best results come with accurate seams. Today I'm sharing a good method for finding accuracy for you and your machine!
My best example of a inaccurate 1/4″ seam is this block –
I love this block, but that tiny white strip was not in my original plans. I did all the math, worked out all the details for a perfect 12 1/2″ x 18 1/2″ block, just before adding the last row – I measured. Thank goodness! I then calculated the needed piece, added it, and vowed to get my 1/4″ seam accurate!
Here's what I've learned, and how you can achieve an accurate 1/4″ seam.
These are the sewing machine feet I'm using, a 1/4″ foot, and a standard foot with a wide … Read More »
Basics Tutorial: Squaring Fabric
All the patterns say "Square Your Fabric" but what does it mean!? Often when it has been cut in a shop, it comes to you less than straight, and before you can easily use your rotary cutter you need to get a straight edge to work with!
This piece had some extra funky folds in it, looked like they had been on the bolt that way too – makes it a great example!
1. Press your fabric. I like to use lots of spray starch, any old spray starch I can find on sale.
2. Fold your fabric, selvage to selvage. In the picture above there is a bubble in the fold at the bottom.
3. Adjust your selvage edges until the fold lays flat. Use your fingers to scoot them one way or the other until it is happy.
4. Lay it down … Read More »
Basics Tutorial : Unpicking Stitches
In our discussion last week tutorials about some of the basics were suggested. And after yesterday's post this seemed like the perfect place to start! I don't remember learning this, I'm guessing it was learned as girl and has been ingrained since. (I learned to sew garments at 10)
On the wrong side of fabric, place the long end of your seam ripper under a stitch.Cut the thread on every 2nd or 3rd stitch, on one side only.Turn over and gently tug on the thread with your fingers, not the seam ripper.All of your stitches should release, if not turn over and find the problem child, and cut. Continue on and clean up the little bits of thread.Clean seam, with no tugging on your fabrics!Same goes for a zig-zag stitch too. Run your seam ripper … Read More »
Christmas Stocking Tutorial
I'm so excited to share my Stocking Tutorial with you! Thanks for all your sweet compliments the other day – my family is excited to have special stockings made by mom!
There are a lot of little steps, but they are so fun to put together! I hope that you have a go at it. I used a total of 12 fat quarters (2 per stocking) and a scraps for the stars. I used 1/4″ seams for the star construction, and 3/8″ for the general construction of the stocking.
1. Trace a stocking or find a pattern. (Google stocking pattern if you need a pattern) I used this little one as a starting point, I didn't want them too big, as we usually just put candy in our stockings. Mine measures 6 1/2″ across the top, and 16 1/2″ long – at … Read More »
Tutorial — Quilted Bible Cover
Before we get started – today's my birthday! I'm 32 years young, and I bought my own present! Any guesses?? Don't think to hard :)
This is what we are making to celebrate my day!
Simple and easily personalized for anyone on your gift list, but don't forget to make one for yourself too! To start gather your materials –
I used two fat quarters and a bit of white for the lining, (you could use a third fat quarter) batting and interfacing. For notions you will need your pins, cutting mat, ruler, rotary cutter, iron/ironing board, and a fresh needle in the sewing machine.
Get everything cut in the beginning then it goes together pretty quickly.

Really? Me!
My wallet tutorial was added to the CraftGossip blog today!!! As soon as I realized I tried to go and update the post . . . I didn't keep the pictures on my computer from that tute :( Oh well – I'm really blessed to be noticed in this big blogland!
Thanks for all the love for the mitered corners tutorial! I'm glad so many of you have found it helpful, and I encourage you to give it a try. Once you've done it, you will be a pro — I promise!
Tutorial — Mitered Corners
Start with a small mitered corner application to gain confidence in making excellent mitered corners every time!
To start gather notions and fabric scraps to practice :
My square measures 8 1/2 inches, and the 4 strips are 1 1/2 x 12 inches. Take special note here: when making mitered corners your strip length needs to be much longer than your square, the wider your strip, the more length you need. Usually I add the strip width times two, plus an extra inch or two, for peace of mind. When I was doing this the first time on my tree skirt, I ended up making my first round of border half the width to accommodate the miter — it wasn't long enough for the width.
On with the instructions:
pin your strips, center on your square, on opposite sides
Sew with 1/4″ seam — I … Read More »
About Ironing/Pressing
I wanted to have a record of the ironing/pressing poll I did a few weeks back, I was about to just delete it but thought it was good information to keep! The post with comments is here :)
Personally, I'm still torn – I like how flat the block is when I press my seams open, but there are times when the bit of bulk adds dimension to the blocks. So for now I'm just going to decide as I go!
There's a few applications where I will always press flat: triangles, working on mitered corners, binding strips, and anywhere with lots of seams meeting up. Oh, Fransson – had a post about ironing recently, apparently someone had the gall to tell her she was doing it wrong! I never did ask, why do you … Read More »
A Notion or Two – January
This block has been a growing experience for me! After seeing all the blocks the past couple of weeks I felt stuck. Amy really wanted wonky, and no 90 degree angles, with a appliqued birdie. I'm still working on breaking out my box – this was a great push!
In the end I thought of a bird, through a window – here's my translation :I'm pleased with how it turned out. Hope you do too, Amy!
Hope you are well ~ Amy

chocolate/marshmellow pizza
I am pretty sure I saw this on another thread but here it is anyway. Use regular dough mix. Break chocolate bar in little pieces and sprinkle on dough. Put into over, when almost done pull out and add small mellows. Put back in till mellows turn brown. Fantastic. I had some kids over from my track team, they loved it.
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
Smores! What an idea! No graham crackers?
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
No graham crackers, my wife and all the kids couldnt believe how good it was. Still like the regular smores but this is a great change!!!
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
Smores--My wife might get on board with ideas like this!
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
Great idea! We do something like this with those "pudgy-pie" makers that you can put in a camp fire. Two slices of bread with marshmallow and chocolate in between, in the fire until toasty. The kids really go for it, but you have to have a very sweet tooth!
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
What a waste of good chocolate.
I'd eat it before putting it on a pizza!:)
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
We just did this on the fouth. We sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar on the crust first then added the chocolate. We found it's best to cook the "smore" pizza without the marshmallows first, we then added the marshmallows at the end so they don't burn.
Re: chocolate/marshmellow pizza
im interested with this..do you have pictures?
CEO of Interal
Craig Barrett Intel3-year return: 318%AGE: 59CEO since: 1998At least life at the top hasn't been dull for Barrett, the 25-year Intel veteran who stepped into the CEO slot at the beginning of 1998. Since then, the company has been blindsided by the sudden rise of the market for sub-$1,000 PCs, had its dirty laundry aired at the Microsoft antitrust trial, and settled a patent-infringement complaint by the U.S. Justice Department even as the feds continue to probe other Intel business practices. Worst of all, two Intel employees were murdered under horrifying circumstances in Uganda in early March. Throughout this trying time, Barrett has maintained his focus on Intel's manufacturing operations. For good reason: As microchips find their way into ever more non-PC devices, they will have to become even smaller and more versatile. "You need a guy like Barrett to manage that transition," says Cowen & Co. analyst Drew Peck.It was the silliest incident that brought Nannette into my life.buy wow gold, I had been in my local supermarket and spent more than I should.

Libyan lawmakers are moving ahead with a compensation plan for former revolutionaries.
The General National Congress (GNC) approved the first reading of the pension bill on February 13th, more than a week after wounded fighters stormed the assembly. The legislation aims to provide healthcare and pensions for the injured thwar, including those who lost limbs in the war, Libya Herald reported.
The proposed law now heads to committee, where a detailed draft will be prepared.
The issue was brought to the forefront on February 3rd when a number of former revolutionaries from Ajdabiya stormed the GNC headquarters to demand authorities pay their medical bills.
The standoff eventually ended two days later, but not before forcing congress to find an alternative venue to carry out the country's business.
More than 30 people stormed congress, GNC President Mohamed Magarief said at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Ali Zidan on February 5th.
"They advanced to the middle of the parliament hall, and some representatives and I sat with them," Magarief said.
"We listened to their demands, although they often spoke in an unsuitable way," he added.
He noted that some of them were carrying guns and that two or three of them pointed their guns more than once at one congressman after they said he spoke in an inappropriate way about them.
On Libya's state-run television, which was airing the GNC session, people saw the drama play out live.
"Nonetheless, we were keen to deal quietly with them because we understand their sufferings and feelings," Magarief said in describing the attack on parliament. "We suspended the session and the parliament stopped its deliberations."
He added that pointing guns at others was a crime and entering the GNC hall was an assault that shouldn't have taken place.
"We rejected any intervention to remove them by force although I have already sat down with them twice in Tripoli and Benghazi and have referred their file to the government," the president added.
As far as the wounded people were concerned, Zidan said they were treated in America, Canada and Germany and prosthetic limbs were installed for them.
"There were 16 passports for them at the embassy before they stormed the parliament, and we've already contacted the German ambassador to add more passports," he said.
Zidan added that the behaviour of some wounded people in foreign countries when they staged sit-ins and stormed embassies had affected the issue of visas.
A decision was issued by the prime minister's office approving salaries for wounded people and amputees for a certain period of time until their health conditions improved.
"They demanded salaries, and we gave them salaries, but they refused," Zidan said. "After that, they demanded housing, cars, high quality treatment, compensations in addition to salaries, travelling to perform pilgrimage with their parents.
"In an attempt from our side to solve the problem, we did what we thought was our duty and we met the demands that we could meet," he added.
Journalist Miftah Belaid said that the wounded should "make their demands through their representatives in the GNC or by going to court or resorting to other communication channels, not by storming the GNC headquarters to waste their rights in this way".
"I think that they lost people's sympathy when they stopped GNC sessions because this is chaos in a country that seeks to build itself," Belaid said.
The wounded, especially amputees, should receive their rights, primary school teacher Mahasen Bachir said.
"They paid a price for us in the war, and right now we're now enjoying freedom. They have the right to receive suitable treatment, but not by storming the parliament," Bachir added.
University student Ala Fathi also agreed that Libyans should avoid disrupting government functions.
"We were hoping that the government would deal with the file of wounded people to avoid sit-ins or attempts to storm facilities... they have to be patient, as the country is now moving towards statehood," Fathi said.

November 8 is the second International Day of Radiology (IDoR)
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, winner of the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 for his November 8, 1895 discovery of x-rays.
View the infographic celebrating global achievements in radiology.
Lets celebrate together!
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR) invite you to join us in celebrating the second annual International Day of Radiology (IDoR) on November 8.
Medical imaging is one of the most exciting and progressive disciplines in healthcare. But while x-rays, (MRI) scans, ultrasound and other medical imaging technologies are known to many people, their value and impact on patient care is not widely understood. Thats why IDoR was launched in 2012 to build greater awareness of radiology and the vital role radiologists play in patient care.
Why November 8?
Thats the day that Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the existence of x-rays in 1895. Its the perfect time to celebrate radiology by sharing the stunning medical, scientific and artistic possibilities of medical imaging and highlighting the essential role radiologists play in countless medical scenarios.
This years theme lung imaging is equally timely as November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women in the United States, and radiology plays a major role in the detection, diagnosis and management of a wide variety of lung diseases.
Below youll find some helpful information and resources to help you learn more about radiology. We hope youll join us in celebrating the important and life-saving contribution medical imaging makes to all of our lives.

Smoking is the major risk, but even non-smokers can develop lung cancers. As with any form of cancer, early detection is the key to survival. Lung cancer treatments may include surgery, radiation treatments, chemotherapy or one of several interventional radiology procedures. New screening methods such as CT scans are being used in clinical trials.

The House of Representatives has started an investigation into the activities of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) following its failure to furnish the Faruk Lawan- led adhoc committee on the investigation of the petroleum subsidy regime with petroleum import vessel data and poor record keeping.
The House unanimously passed a resolution mandating the standing committee on Marine Transport, to among other things, investigate the ports operations of the NPA with a view to determining the extent to which its officials were complicit in the classification of the maritime areas for reception of Nigerian bound petroleum products as "offshore Cotonou and offshore Lome in the face of evidence of vessels never did lighter at those ports."
The committee will also investigate reports of breach in national security as a result of failure of the ports authority which "has exacerbated the importation of illegal arms into the country through the use of private jetties to discharge arms and ammunition which have aided and abated youth restiveness thereby posing serious security threats to the corporate existence of Nigerian nation," the House documents said.

(Added to NRS by 1969, 1482; A 1979, 1484; 1983, 1066; 1993, 2135; 1995, 1297)

1. The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person or damage to any vehicle or other property which is driven or attended by any person shall:
(a) Give his name, address and the registration number of the vehicle he is driving, and shall upon request and if available exhibit his license to operate a motor vehicle to any person injured in such accident or to the driver or occupant of or person attending any vehicle or other property damaged in such accident;

(Mar. 14) -- A measure (SB 141) to toughen penalties for drivers who leave the scene of an accident is expected to clear the Nevada Senate Tuesday. The bill, in part, is inspired by a 2001 collision that killed three people and seriously injured a fourth. (passed 20 - 1)
On April 22, 2001, James and Holly Barton and their son Ben never make it to church. A car driven by Mitchell Dettloff strikes their Ford pick-up sending it across the median head-on into on-coming traffic. The crash kills three and seriously injures a fourth.
The driver who caused the crash, Mitchell Dettloff, never stops.
The one person who's required by law to help out fled the scene. A jury found Dettloff guilty of, among other things, three counts of leaving the scene of an accident, one count for each victim.
On appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court overturned two of those convictions finding that a driver can only leave the scene once.
Dennis Nolan, (R) Clark County Senator, said, "The way the law is right now, there's more of an incentive for people who are involved in accident, especially DUI accidents, to leave the scene and try to avoid the DUI conviction and opt out for a lesser charge of leaving the scene of an accident."
Dettloff v. State, 120 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 67(September 16, 2004). Appellant Mitchell Dettloff appeals a judgment of conviction entered upon jury verdicts of guilty on three felony counts of leaving the scene of an accident. As a threshold matter, we have determined to reverse and vacate two of the three convictions under our recent decision in Firestone v. State, which prohibits multiple convictions in connection with leaving the scene of a single accident.
From Nevada Legislature site
SB 141- Increases term of imprisonment under certain circumstances for driver
of vehicle who leaves scene of accident involving bodily injury to or death
of person. (BDR 43-362)

BOISE, Idaho Following his 183 yard rushing performance in Boise State University's 42-26 win at the University of Idaho this past Saturday (Oct. 21), Bronco running back Ian Johnson has been named the Western Athletic Conference's Offensive Player of the Week.
A sophomore from San Dimas, Calif., (Damien HS), Johnson carried the ball 27 times for an average of 6.8 yards-per-carry and scored four touchdowns to bring his season total for rushing touchdowns to a nation leading 18. Johnson's touchdown runs went for eight, 18, four and 12 yards.
The award marks the third time this season Johnson has won the league's weekly honor. Johnson was also named player of the week following Boise State's 42-14 win over Oregon State University, and its 41-34 win over the University of Hawai'i.
Johnson leads the nation in scoring averaging 13.50 points per game. He is fifth in rushing with a 147.63 yards-per-game average, and ninth in all-purpose yards averaging 151.50 per-game.
His 183 yards against the Vandals brings Johnson's season rushing total to 1,181 - the sixth best single season rushing average in school history. His 18 touchdowns is second on the all-time single season list.
Brock Forsey holds the single season rushing record with 1,611 yards, and the single season rushing touchdown mark with 26.
The Broncos are off this weekend, before they host Fresno State in a ESPN2 game at Bronco Stadium on Nov. 1 (Wednesday).

A fisherman says his friend called out to him "please, I want to live" after his boat sunk in Samoa.
Roma Vaeloaloa says he held on to a piece of driftwood for 24 hours and floated several kilometres while being battered by wind and high seas before washing up on Manono Island.
His friends and workmates, who were on board when the vessel sunk, are still missing at sea.
"I heard my two fishing buddies call out 'Roma, please, I want to live'. That's all I heard," he said.
"I couldn't help them, it happened so quickly.
"Right now, I am thankful to the Lord for this miracle, for sparing this life, as I am able to stand on land and see my family."
Maritime New Zealand has confirmed that 10 fishermen are still missing off the coast of Samoa and four boats are unaccounted for following Cyclone Evan's impact.
The confirmed death toll in Samoa from the cyclone is four, but with fishermen still missing it is feared it will rise.
An upturned fishing boat hull is being towed to Apia after being identified by Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion searching around 4,800 sq km of ocean in hopes of finding any of the 10 missing men alive.
The vessel is believed to be one of four fishing boats that have been reported missing, but it is yet to be formally identified. No sign of the crew has been found.
Initially three boats were declared missing, but this number increased to four today, RCCNZ Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator Kevin Banaghan said.
"Each boat had three crew aboard, but two men, from different boats, have made it to shore," he said.
Banaghan said a French Navy Guardian aircraft that was assisting with the search would now return to Tahiti, with the Orion possibly remaining available for further assistance on Tuesday.
"The Orion will carry out tasks for the Samoan Government early tomorrow, but may be available to continue the search for two hours after that," he said. "At that point we will look at all available information and make a decision on the next phase of the operation.
Rising cost of damage
Samoa's Prime Minister expects the cost of Cyclone Evan's damage to be more than $200 million.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi today took aid agencies and his Cabinet on a tour of the area that has been destroyed by the cyclone.
Officials are getting a clearer picture of the extent of the damage today and ONE News correspondent Barbara Dreaver went on the tour with the PM.
"He just wanted his Cabinet to have a good look at how bad the damage is. The Prime Minister told me that he's estimating that the cost of the cyclone is around at least 300 million tala which is around $200 million New Zealand." Dreaver told TV ONE's Midday news.
"However, he expects it to be a lot more than that. So huge devastation here," she said.
The clean-up is underway after the cyclone ripped through houses, knocked down power poles and trees, and caused flooding.
Dreaver told TV ONE's Breakfast she is astonished at how widespread the damage is.
"This is huge for Samoa," Dreaver said, reporting from the village of Mangianga where she said there is "absolute devastation".
The village had what was described as "an inland tsunami" as floodwaters rushed through it.
Whole villages relocated
At least 5000 people are officially homeless at the moment "but I've got to tell you that's very conservative," Dreaver said.
"That's only people who are in emergency shelters. I talked to the Red Cross last night. We are hearing of people who have just gone into their own emergency centres if you like, not official ones.
"They've relocated whole villages up into the hills, so we just don't know how many people are homeless."
Red Cross is trying to find those people and make sure that they get the help they need, she said.
The Government has so far provided $50,000 to assist with the response on the ground in Samoa, as well as an Orion to undertake aerial surveillance.
The Government says it will consider additional assistance if requested, with assessment of the damage on-going.
