HINESVILLE, Ga. – FEAR goes on trial today.
Court-martial proceedings against Pvt. Isaac Aguigui (right), the accused ringleader of FEAR, an antigovernment gang of active-duty American soldiers, are scheduled to begin here this morning on the Fort Stewart Army base where, military prosecutors charge, the young soldier murdered his wife nearly two years ago.
Sgt. Deirdre Wetzker Aguigui, a promising Army linguist, was found unconscious on July 17, 2011, on the sofa in the living room of the Aguiguis' home on the sprawling base and later pronounced dead at a post hospital. She was 24 years old and five months pregnant.
Aguigui allegedly financed the Fort Stewart-based gang – including a frantic two-month buying spree of $87,000 worth of military-grade weapons – with $500,000 in life insurance money he received shortly after his wife's death.
A few months later, state prosecutors say, the gang murdered two teenagers to keep secret its plot to overthrow the government through a torrent of kidnappings, bombings and political assassinations. The murder weapon was one of the guns purchased with Deirdre Aguigui's insurance proceeds.
Heather Salmon, described as the gang's matriarch, won't be attending the court-martial.
She'll be 50 miles away, where she's been for the last year, locked up in the Brantley County Jail, charged in civilian court along with Aguigui and two others with the execution-style murder of the teenagers.
On Saturday, Salmon, 29, dressed in a baggy pink-and-white jail uniform, sat down with Hatewatch in a visiting room at the jail and, in an exclusive interview, talked about Aguigui, the charges against her, and her fears for the future.
"None of this makes any sense to me," Salmon said. "It's ridiculous. I'm afraid for my kids. I'm not afraid for myself, because I didn't do anything wrong."
Salmon said she is not guilty of murder or of anything else to do with the gang. She added she did not even know FEAR existed or what its acronym stands for until her lawyer told her: Forever Enduring, Always Ready. But state prosecutors say Salmon, a former soldier and mother of four, is the steely-willed second-in-command to Aguigui, 22, who was a page at the 2008 national Republican convention.
Aguigui, Salmon, her husband, Pvt. Christopher Salmon, and Sgt. Anthony Peden, have been charged with the murders of Michael Roark, 19, and his girlfriend, Tiffany York, 17. Roark was a member of the men's Army unit before his discharge three days before his murder. It appears Roark was also part of the gang, but had decided to quit and return to his home in Washington. Roark and York sometimes hung out with the others at the Salmons' home. "Tiffany was really sweet," Salmon said in the interview. "Mike was kind of like the annoying little brother."
A fifth member of the gang, Pfc. Michael Burnett, was also charged with murder, but received a lesser sentence in exchange for his testimony against his former comrades. During a court appearance last August, Burnet said Salmon's husband and Peden did the actual killing as Aguigui watched.
Prosecutors say members of the inner circle of the gang called themselves the "Family" and Salmon, the matriarch, was called "Momma Ray" by the men who followed her orders.
"I'm nobody's mother except for my kids," Salmon said, adding that to be reunited with her children, "I'd testify against everybody – if I knew anything."
All told, 11 people – most of them active-duty or former soldiers – have been arrested and charged in the case. Salmon is the only woman.
"Isaac was having some serious issues the last couple of months," Salmon told Hatewatch. "He would talk to me about his wife and tell me that he missed her and everything. He just started getting farther and farther into drugs. And slowly but surely, he started to change. He was very levelheaded when I first met him. He was easy to talk to. But as time passed he started doing stupid stuff with the guys."
While she did not go into the woods and shoot the sweethearts in the head — she was at home babysitting — authorities say Salmon was "part and parcel" of FEAR and a key decision-maker on the December night of their death.
Salmon is not facing the death penalty. But her husband, Peden and Aguigui may be put to death if convicted.
"Isaac was charismatic," Salmon said. "And when he wasn't on drugs, he was a really good person, a decent guy. I've never heard him say he wanted to cause anyone any harm."
Yet one night in a bedroom at her house, about a week before the teenagers were killed, she said, Agugui "dissected a cat while it was alive."
Salmon said that a few months ago, agents from the Army's Criminal Investigation Command came to visit her in jail and asked her about the death of Aguigui's wife. Salmon said all she knew was what her friend Aguigui told her: After spending some intimate time together, he found his wife unconscious on the living room sofa. He called 911 and attempted CPR but she did not respond. Autopsy results were inconclusive.
But as civilian prosecutor Isabel Pauley dug deeper into Aguigui connection to the murder of the two teenagers, she began to repeatedly state in open court that his wife's death had been "highly suspicious."
Still, for nearly two years no one was held accountable – until now.
"She'd always come over to the house," Salmon said of Deirdre Aguigui. "She was really excited to be pregnant. She was having some problems; she said her legs hurt off and on, which is normal with pregnancy. She asked a few questions about back pain and what to expect later on."
While the military took its time investigating Sgt. Aguigui's death, her husband's antigovernment group was starting to organize at Fort Stewart.
"Tiffany and Michael would be alive today if the army had done its job when it was supposed to," York's mother, Brenda Thomas, told Hatewatch. "I'm never going to have closure and I'm never ever going to understand how the military allowed this to happen."
Thomas said she was uncertain at first about whether she would attend today's Article 32 hearing, which is a first step in the court-martial process, similar to a grand jury hearing, and includes cross-examination by opposing lawyers. But she has decided to take her three surviving children.
"We have to go," she said. "He is the reason Tiffy is not here and Michael. It's just hard to believe. People that are supposed to protect us took my baby from me. It wasn't like this evil came from a different country and did this. I think one of the hardest things I deal with is these guys that are supposed to be soldiers took my daughter."
Aguigui and the other men were arrested four days after the young lovers were found dead. Heather Salmon was questioned and released. She was not arrested and charged in the case until June 2012.
Like most of the men in the group, Salmon had a rocky career in the military. She said she was working as a waitress, going nowhere fast, when she joined the military in 2002. She lasted eight years, including a tour in Iraq, before being discharged for a prescription-drug related offense. At a bond hearing in January, Prosecutor Pauley told the court that Salmon "clearly poses a significant threat to the community as being part and parcel of this organization."
Bond was denied.
In her 90-minute interview with Hatewatch, Salmon, who says she is still "pro-military," did a lot of denying of her own. She denied all of the charges against her from the double murder to illegally buying weapons to even being a close friend of Aguigui's. "I wasn't as close to him as everybody thought," she said. But a few minutes later, she said Aguigui frequently confided in her about how much he missed his wife and how "they had a perfection marriage."
"I knew that wasn't true," she said.
She also denied knowing of the gang's existence before the men were arrested. "I didn't know anything about it," she said. "A lot of it, I learned in here."
Hers is a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil defense. Salmon said she learned about "their so-called plans to do all this crazy nonsense" through her lawyer, letters from her husband, and reading through legal documents about the case.
She said she did know that Aguigui wanted to start a "militia" back in his home state of Washington, where Salmon is also from. She said she did not take him seriously, especially in the last weeks before the gang was rounded up, because Aguigui was spending thousands of dollars on drugs and strippers at a club near the fort called Temptations. "He spent $30,000 there one night," she said.
Aguigui took Salmon's husband and a few other buddies along. "I didn't want to know what happened," she said.
Prosecutors say Salmon was essentially the chief financial officer for FEAR, dispensing funds as needed. She denied that. She said Aguigui asked her to help him legitimately manage his money and she opened up a few CD accounts. She said that by the time she started helping him in the late summer of 2011 – a few weeks after the death of his wife – he was down to a little more than $200,000.
Salmon described the men in the group, including her husband, as "basically a bunch of boys sitting around, not being very intelligent, playing [the video game] Call of Duty and thinking it was real."
"I never thought it was serious," she said.
She said that after his wife's death, Aguigui moved into her house, where he had his own room. Aguigui and her husband were best friends. "They'd go up to Isaac's room and hang out," she said. "I was too busy chasing after my kids to pay attention."
Salmon said her home became a gathering spot because everyone else in the group only had one- or two-room apartments – and her husband keep inviting his buddies over for dinner. She said the men got close doing extra duty – punishment work for various infractions. "They all started hanging out when they all got on extra duty," she said. "You have to work until midnight. Sometimes they have you come in at 5 in the morning. It just sucks. You're cleaning stuff, latrines, picking up garbage."
They were not poster-boy soldiers.
The day after the murder of Roark and York, the group gathered around a bonfire in Peden's backyard for what Salmon said Saturday was a cookout. Prosecutors and gang member Christopher Jenderseck, who has pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence in the case, said the fire was built to destroy evidence, including a cell phone, spent shotgun shells — and clothes stained with blood and brain matter.
"I don't know anything about that," Salmon said. "I was in the house with my kids."
Indeed, Salmon paints herself as too overwhelmed by her parenting duties to pay much attention to the goings-on in her home or anywhere else, except for the time she said Aguigui brought two strippers to the house. She said she made it clear to her husband she would not tolerate that.
"I packed up to leave in October," she said. "My husband talked me out of it. I should have left."
Salmon said that if she regains her freedom, she will go home to her children and return to school. She'd like to be a nurse. She said she's been reading a lot in jail. "I've read my Bible front and back several times," she said.
She's reading a crime novel these days. It's called The Informant.

Located near the Town Hall, this is the most beautiful religious monument in Bordeaux.
Obviously, it is not like the cathedrals in the Paris region. Although it is not easy to compete with Amiens, Chartres or Reims, Saint André's heterogeneous style is nevertheless unexpected and endearing, especially because of its freestanding belltower. Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII, the future king of France, were married here 1137, as were Anne of Austria and Louis XIII. The cathedral was used to store fodder during the French Revolution… a sad fate for this monument that also suffered from a devastating fire in the 19th century. All of the furniture was replaced with that taken from other churches.
The well restored royal entrance in the north wall of the nave epitomises 13th century French Gothic architecture. Like many other cathedrals, sculptures were painted in bright colours at the time to attract worshippers.

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 01, 2013
Glidewell Laboratories, industry-leading provider of dental lab products and services, announced today that it will discontinue its services for digital treatment planning and guided surgery for implant cases. The company introduced digital implant treatment planning to its customers in 2008, and it has experienced consistent revenue growth since that time. However, the complexity of current third-party digital treatment planning software programs and the prohibitive cost of surgical guides present significant obstacles to providing the reasonable fees that the dental lab's customers have come to expect.
According to Glidewell's Chief Operating Officer Greg Minzenmayer: "Our mission with digital implant planning, as with all of our services, is to reduce costs so more patients can afford care. Unfortunately, the current market structure around this exciting and beneficial technology does not allow for a quality, value-based solution." Minzenmayer goes on to explain that Glidewell is working with a few innovative young companies that share its vision of providing clinicians with high-quality and cost-effective digital dental solutions.
"In cooperation with these companies, we are creating unique software applications that make planning easier and more intuitive, and the overall process more efficient," says Grant Bullis, director of implant R&D at the lab. Bullis further explains that these joint efforts will result in improvements in the end-to-end process flow from the clinic to the lab, with the goal of reducing overall clinic and lab costs without compromising quality.
Even though Glidewell is choosing to discontinue these services at this time, "the laboratory continues to believe in the benefits of digital treatment planning," says Minzenmayer, "

Third time lucky for Murray
Scot hoping to make his previous final appearances count
Andy Murray is 11/10 to break his Grand Slam duck against Novak Djokovic on Sunday. Can he do it? Bet now.

Andy Murray is hoping his experience of two previous grand slam finals will help him gain a first win against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
The Scot booked his place against the Serbian in Sunday's Australian Open final with a 4-6 7-6 6-1 7-6 victory over David Ferrer on Sunday.
The world number five admitted his inexperience got the better of him in his two previous finals against Roger Federer - including in Melbourne 12 months ago - although he is not expecting it to be any easier against an opponent he knows well.
"The first slam final I played against Federer I didn't know what was going on," Murray said. "It went so quick.
"Last year was better and I hope this one's going to be better than last year's.
"But it's going to be a tough match. Novak's played a great tournament.
"Experience-wise we're similar. We're good friends and practice a lot together.
"We trained a lot in Perth getting ready for here. We practised four or five times and then practised here a couple of times.
"There won't be any secrets about our games."
Murray appeared to have strained his knee midway through the semi-final and he admitted the match - which lasted 14 minutes short of four hours - took its toll.
"It was a pretty physical match," he said. "My body was feeling it a bit towards the end of the match but I'm going to jump in an ice bath to try to recover properly."

Germany Plays Down Threat of Terror Attack
BERLIN—A senior German official played down warnings of a potential terrorist attack in Europe, as Pakistani intelligence officials told reporters a U.S. missile strike in northwest Pakistan reportedly killed several suspected German militants.
U.S., German and Pakistani officials said they couldn't confirm reports of the deaths.
Earlier on Monday, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said that despite a U.S. travel alert issued this weekend, German police and intelligence services have no "concrete evidence" that a terror attack is imminent.
Journal Community
The U.S. State Department's travel alert advises Americans to be vigilant when traveling to Europe. The warning, which cited heightened concerns about a potential al Qaeda attack in the region, was prompted by an accumulation of what U.S. officials described as credible intelligence pointing to a possible attack in countries including the U.K., France or Germany.
The advisory followed a recent increase in U.S. drone attacks against suspected militants in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.K., Japan and Sweden have followed the U.S. in issuing travel advisories. France said the U.S. alert is in line with its recommendations for French citizens.
Mr. de Maizière, speaking to reporters in Berlin, said there is "no reason for alarm at this time" because the threat remains too vague and diffuse to act on. Germany hasn't raised its terrorism alert level, which has been at "high abstract threat" for some time.
Several intelligence officials have privately challenged the quality of the U.S. information, describing the U.S. alert as an overreaction. One intelligence official said the decisions to issue the alerts were based in part on the bureaucratic need to "be on record with an alert to the threat" rather than a belief that a threat is imminent.
Some of the intelligence leads are based on an analysis of statements by al Qaeda leaders that could be interpreted as giving the go-ahead for attacks in Europe, a counterterrorism official said.
Later on Monday, wire services reported that a suspected U.S. drone strike in Pakistan's Waziristan region killed as many as eight German militants. The Germans were killed when a missile struck in the town of Mirali in North Waziristan, Reuters and the Associated Press said, citing Pakistani intelligence officials.
A German foreign ministry spokesman said late Monday that he was unable to confirm the reports. German officials asked Islamabad about the report, but haven't received any information, he said. A senior official for Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence military spy agency said he could not confirm that German militants had died in the drone strike.
European authorities, acting on the U.S. intelligence, have been searching for a suspected hit team led by a man who may have trained at a terrorist camp in Parkistan, an intelligence official said. The suspected group leader is known only as "Mauritani," the official said. Investigators suspect Mauritani has about six supporters. Their identities and appearances aren't known.
German intelligence officials are monitoring dozens of suspected militants who have gone to Pakistan and Afghanistan for military training organized by Islamist terrorist groups, according to two intelligence officials.
Much of the intelligence driving the investigation has been produced by the U.S., according to European officials. Mr. de Maizière said German intelligence officers are working closely with their international counterparts.
At Germany's request, a German diplomat has met with a German national who has been detained by the U.S. after his arrest in Afghanistan, a foreign ministry spokesman said. He declined to provide details of the meeting. The German national, Ahmed Sidiqi, who was arrested in July, has been a key source of information on the suspected terrorist plot in Europe, an intelligence official said.
Travel Alert Issued for Europe
Concern over the potential for an attack prompted French authorities to close the Eiffel Tower last week. On Monday, French police arrested a man on charges he reported a false bomb alarm last week. The suspect isn't considered to be a terrorist, a police official said.
So far, the U.S. travel warnings appear to be having little impact on corporate travel or tourism.
International SOS Assistance Inc., a medical- and security-assistance company that advises and tracks travelers globally, is telling corporate clients to continue business in Europe, but is warning them to be more cautious.
John Rendeiro, vice president for global security and intelligence, says International SOS is reminding clients to tell their employees not to broadcast their nationalities when traveling abroad. In the last few days, the company has fielded 15% to 20% more calls and inquiries than usual, a spokeswoman says.
The three largest U.S. airlines— United Continental Holdings Inc., UAL 4.56 % Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL 1.20 % and AMR Corp.'s American Airlines—repeated Monday that the travel advisory wasn't affecting their operations or policies. Flights are on schedule and there are no signs of heightened cancellations, they added.

First-quarter blitz creates early margin in 8-5 win
Decades of reign as Central New York's top boys lacrosse program has not softened West Genesee one bit. Nor has winning 10 consecutive Section III Class A titles. As always, head coach Mike Messere's Wildcats are after more, and the latest quest for glory commenced Saturday with a 9-6 victory over Pittsford at Wildcat Stadium.

WASHINGTON, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands of Americans are expected to sign living wills for the first time on Thursday April 16 as part of National Healthcare Decisions Day. Teams of doctors, nurses and lawyers will be on hand at more than 660 hospitals and other healthcare facilities nationwide Thursday to help Americans sign living wills and other medical directives. The services are free.
A recent study suggests that increasing the number of cancer patients who have end-of-life discussions could save the U.S. over $75 million a year without compromising care.
Yet, less than one-third of all adults have a living will or any kind of "advance directive" to make their healthcare wishes known in the event of catastrophe, studies show. National Healthcare Decisions Day was started two years ago to teach Americans the benefits of creating an advance directive, and to encourage healthcare providers to recommend them more often.
"No one likes to think about the possibility of a life-threatening injury or disease," said Nathan Kottkamp, chairman of the National Healthcare Decision Day initiative. "But the simple act of creating an advance directive can turn out to be an incredible gift for loved ones in the event of an accident or severe illness."
The event's date is no coincidence. Kottkamp selected the day after Tax Day in honor of Benjamin Franklin's famous adage: "Nothing in life is certain but death and taxes."
More than 75 national organizations, plus 660 state and local organizations, will have teams at hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, doctor's offices and even libraries to explain the benefits of advance directives.
"No matter where you live, you can fill out an advance directive without
hiring a lawyer. It's easy to do and is free," said Kottkamp, a healthcare
attorney with the McGuireWoods law firm. He founded National Healthcare

**If you email me for any correction, please put in the subject line Find a grave**
A dear neighbor got me interested in cemeteries while I was a child, she, her daughter and myself use to do Sunday drives and along the way we always stoped at a local cemetery.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.
If I should not be with you when the next sun sets,
Don't mourn.I've had a lot of sunsets, and I've loved them all.
But I have had such splendid things to love,
You'll know I've had my share.
Don't mourn.
Just reach out to the world:
Embrace it for me.
Grab joy, but let it shine; it may be all that's left of me Still shining.
And when rain dances, know thatI will be the dancing.
Don't forget: I love you always. Still.

Richard J. Cox
Regarding the obituary posted on Memorial# 30193801, I am researching the family of Richard Cox and John Cox III. In fact, I have their family tree going back to the early 1700s. I would like to share that with members of Richard's family and I would like to know if his family have any other pictures or photos they are willing to share with me. You may want to add this info to memorial #30193801: Richard was born May 8, 1929 in Hamilton, Mass, to John Edward Cox Jr and Mary Ellen Perry who was born at Summerfield, Price Edward Island, Canada. Richard and I shared the same great-grandfather, namely Edward Carter Cox of Edmunds, Maine.

Excellant! Moist, extremely Flavorful. Going to make this again for Thanksgiving.
I love the cranberry cornmeal cookies on Epicurious, so I couldn't wait to try this recipe. I didn't include the nuts or the maple extract (used vanilla instead), but it was very tasty, looked lovely, had great texture from the cornmeal, and was nice and moist.
My 13-year-old son made this and it was great. We didn't use the extract but added a little orange zest. It was a big hit.
Substituted diced, peeled apple for the cranberries. Also didn't have maple extract.Very flavorful bread - could really taste the maple syrup. Tasted like something that might have been eaten in Colonial America.

For the 20 or so people present, things got serious in room 276 of the Danforth University Center Monday night, even as music and laughs could be heard from the "Frozen" movie screening down below. The event was a debate between Connection Slate and Elevate! Slate, the two contesting slates for this year's Student Union executive board election.
On Nov. 7, hours after Barack Obama was re-elected as president of the United States, an unidentified man from Slidell, La., going by "Michael E" created a petition on the White House website asking the federal government to allow the state of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States and form its own country.
[media-credit id=3223 align="alignleft" width="300"][/media-credit] In last week's Senate elections, Campus Y, Emergency Support Team (EST) and Uncle Joe's received block funding for their budget proposals, while the Student Sustainability Fund (SSF) did not. In a 1,082-574 vote, the SSF failed to receive the two-thirds majority necessary to secure block funding.
It would be nice to think that now that the 2012 election is over, super PACs will retreat from the public sphere for two—or, it might be hoped, four—years.
There is no question that there were many issues with voting for students at Wash. U. this year.
A year after Student Union Senate voted to shrink its body from 28 to 22, its races range from competitive to uncontested or even nonexistent. While five students are running for two Engineering School seats, only one Business student is running for the school's one open seat, five are running for six typically competitive Arts & Sciences seats and no one is running for one open Art School seat.
Obama Victory Playlist Results are in, and incumbent Barack Obama has won another four-year term as president. Celebrate his victory with this playlist, straight from Chicago. 1. "Irreplaceable" Beyoncé Beyoncé is one of the President's number one fans. Even though this is normally a breakup jam, Obama can turn it into his declaration to the […]
Hungry students filled College Hall last night for 2012's post-poll party. The party, co-sponsored by Congress of the South 40 and Student Union, opened with a panel of three students speaking about the significance voting had to them.
A significant and widespread shortage of paper ballots meant many students waited more than two hours to cast their votes Tuesday. Some chose simply to walk away from the voting booths and not come back. "I [have] a lot of work and one of my friends was telling me earlier the wait was over two hours.
President Barack Obama proved victorious in 2012. In what was almost a repeat of 2008, he won every swing state of consequence: Virginia and Ohio. The pundits will laud his campaign, CNN will hotly debate the what ifs and Mitt Romney will gracefully, if disappointedly (although, if he was optimistic enough to hope for a victory, can we really be sympathetic?

Kay Discusses Saratoga Changes, NYRA's Future
A year after his first experience with the intense scrutiny that comes with the opening of the Saratoga Race Course meet, a more confident, knowledgeable, and experienced Chris Kay once again invited members of the media to discuss the racing season and the future of the New York Racing Association.
He reiterated what have over the last year become common themes in his public statements: the three-pronged goal of enhancing the experience of NYRA's customers; improving the quality of racing; and creating a sustainable business plan for NYRA's reorganization in 2015, when its term under state control will come to an end.

Over the past 28 days, Bruce has an on base percentage of .327. Even by slugging close to .600, he hasn't been on Puig's level of great. The only guys who have been better in the batters box over the past 28 days [I can't find a site that can pull the last 30] are Jason Kipnis (.415/.513/.791 16.8 rc/27 in 113 plate appearances) and Miguel Cabrera (.340/.451/.712 12.4 rc/27 in 113 plate appearances). Puig has had a slash line of .400/.429/.610 11.48 rc/27 in 107 plate appearances). And for those who believe "value" is measured in team wins (which I don't... but whatever), his team started winning when he came on board.
Dougdirt knows prospects and his concern is a valid one, but I think he'll learn to recognize the outside breaking pitch. If I had to bet my house, I'd say Puig's career is more likely to end up mirroring Joe DiMaggio rather than fast-start flameouts like Kevin Maas.
Platitudes notwithstanding, if care about the NL winning the game, I absolutely want him on the NL roster.
". . . acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect. I do it in a second . . . The Reds' equation this year is simple: Make Matt Belisle your #3 starter . . . trade for Blanton, win 85 or more, be in the mix all summer." - Paul Daugherty, Feb. 8, 2008
As a 21-year-old rookie in 2005, Francoeur hit .403 with 8 HR's, 21 RBI's, and an OPS of 1.228 in his first month. Looks awfully familiar.

"If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

I know it's stupid because even if he's voted in he probably won't pitch, but I'm getting paranoid because Red Sox relievers have been dropping like flies and he is 38 years old.

Txttools Address Book Middleware Implementation Guide
Date Added: Jun 2010
Format: PDF
This paper describes the implementation of the txttools Address Book Middleware application which helps txttools customers to integrate their core data systems with txttools and seamlessly copy contact and group data from the customer's data source to the txttools address book. End users of the txttools system, those users who actually use txttools to send SMS messages to recipients should not need to know anything about the Address Book Middleware. This paper is designed for customer IT technicians who wish to automate the process of uploading contact and group data from their data source to txttools so that end users do not need to perform this manually.

Agreed, certainly atleast running head to head with Cryteks offer so far.

More tech info.
Waiting right now for Christina Coffin's talk on SPU based deferred shading in Battlefield 3. I hear they use DX11 compute shader heavily on the PC side, so it'll be interesting to see how they leverage the SPUs.
* Previous DICE games were forward rendered, just a few lights. Mirror's Edge, which they SHOULD be making a sequel to, used pre-rendered radiosity lighting. Goal of Battlefield 3 was to really expand the lighting and materials, and DICE picked deferred.
* Their PS3 implementation uses 5-6 SPUs in parallel with the GPU and CPU.
* GPU does the initial G-buffer fill, and then passes it off for shading by the SPU. Still waiting to see what that means. Are they using SPUs as fragment shaders?
* The framebuffer is sliced into 64x64 tiles, use a simple shared incrementing counter for sync.
* SPUs compute 16 pixels at a time, in SoA format at full float precision
* The GPU is still busy on other shading while the SPUs eat through the deferred shading
* About 8 millis real time on 5 SPUs for deferred shading while GPU does other stuff, equals 40ms total max compute time contributed by the SPUs.
* Light culling is done in two stage tile hierarchy, after whole-camera and coarse Z in light volumes
* A branch is used to skip all 16 pixels if the attenuation makes them unlit. This is a net win despite the branching cost.
* The SPUs are very even pipe heavy due to all of the FPU action, so complex functions can be replaced with a look-up table using strictly odd-pipe instructions, can decrease 21 cycle functions to 4 in case of complex functions.
* There is still a pure GPU based implementation of the shading pipeline that maintain visual parity, in order to facilitate debugging and validation.
* SPU job code can be reloaded into the live game, enabling bug fixes with quick iteration.

sooo I take it you won't update anymore?...
that's really sad, 'cause the story was interesting and I wanted to see, what would happen when thor gets into this story.
also his personality could be totally different from the thor in 'thor' and 'avengers'.
I'm totally looking forwards to your update, if there will be an update :3
have a nice day

An improved method and apparatus for administering drugs during an endoluminal procedure is disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention utilizes a catheter having distal and proximal ends and a drug reservoir located within the catheter to efficiently and accurately deliver drugs during an endoluminal procedure.
1. An endoluminal drug delivery device comprising:
a catheter having a distal end for placement inside a patient's body and a proximal end for placement outside the patient's body;
a drug reservoir located at said distal end of said catheter, the drug reservoir being fixed in the same position with respect to the distal end of the catheter during placement of the catheter inside the patient's body and during drug delivery, the drug reservoir having an interior surface, the interior surface of the drug reservoir being fluidly isolated from the proximal end of the catheter;
a piston moveable within said drug reservoir;
a motor having a shaft drive; and
a connecting member having a first end and a second end
said first end of said connecting member rotatably connected with said shaft drive of said motor and
said second end of said connecting member rotatably connected with said piston.
2. The endoluminal drug delivery device of

5. The device of
This invention generally relates to endoluminal procedures. More specifically it relates to an improved method and apparatus for providing accurate, easy to administer, minimum waste delivery of therapeutic drugs while performing endoluminal procedures.
An endoluminal procedure is a medical procedure that takes place in one of the many lumens within the human body. An endoluminal procedure may take place in vascular, gastrointestinal, or air exchange lumens, and may involve disease diagnosis, or treatment, or both. Millions of endoluminal procedures are performed each year in hospitals around the world.
Endoluminal procedures are often performed utilizing a device known as an endoscope. With reference to
A treatment device that is commonly used during the completion of endoluminal procedures is a catheter. As illustrated in
The endoscope 140 will be positioned to allow access to the treatment area 110. Then, as required, the Endoscopist will position the distal end of the catheter through the endoscope into the treatment area 110. The positioning of the catheter is often a difficult and time-consuming process as it must be done by the Endoscopist from the proximal end of the endoscope, which may be a hundred or more centimeters from the treatment area. Once the catheter is positioned drugs can be administered or some other procedure can be performed. Administering the drugs can be an arduous task due to the tremendous pressure required to be applied to the handle 165 to force the drug out of the syringe 150, through the entire length of the catheter 170 and ultimately out the hypodermic needle 120. This is particularly true when the therapeutic drug to be administered is highly viscous.
This method is highly inefficient as the entire internal channel 190 of the catheter 170 must be filled with the drug before even a small amount can be forced into the treatment area 110. Moreover, since the entire internal channel 190 of the catheter 170 will be filled with the drug, a large amount of the drug is simply disposed of, along with the catheter, at the completion of the procedure. This unwanted disposal of therapeutic drugs can be expensive and can add significant cost to the procedure.
Thus, it would be desirable to provide an apparatus that can accurately deliver a therapeutic drug to an endoluminal treatment site both efficiently and with a minimum of effort and waste.
The present invention is an improved method and apparatus for administering drugs during an endoluminal procedure that includes a catheter having a distal end and a proximal end and a drug reservoir located within the catheter to efficiently and accurately deliver drugs during an endoluminal procedure.
The instant invention provides for an efficient and effective method and apparatus for delivering therapeutic drugs to an endoluminal cavity.
The drug 195 in
The drug agents used in the present invention include, for example: pharmaceutically active compounds, biologically active solutions, proteins, oligonucleotides, genes, DNA compacting agents, gene/vector systems (i.e., anything that allows for or enhances the uptake and expression of nucleic acids), nucleic acids (including, for example, DNA, cDNA, RNA, antisense DNA or RNA), cells (autologous, allogenic, or xenogeneic), and liposomes and cationic polymers that are selected from a number of types depending on the desired application. Examples of the biologically active solutes include: anti-thrombogenic agents such as heparin, heparin derivatives, urokinase, and PPack (dextrophenylalanine proline arginine chloromethylketone); anti-proliferative agents such as paclitaxel, enoxaprin, angiopeptin, or monoclonal antibodies capable of blocking smooth muscle cell proliferation, hirudin, and acetylsalicylic acid; anti-inflammatory agents such as dexamethasone, prednisolone, corticosterone, budesonide, estrogen, sulfasalazine, and mesalamine; antineoplastic/antiproliferative/anti-miotic agents such as paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, vinblastine, vincristine, epothilones, endostatin, angiostatin and thymidine kinase inhibitors; anesthetic agents such as lidocaine, bupivacaine, and ropivacaine; anti-coagulants such as D-Phe-Pro-Arg chloromethyl keton, an RGD peptide-containing compound, heparin, antithrombin compounds, platelet receptor antagonists, anti-thrombin anticodies, anti-platelet receptor antibodies, aspirin, protaglandin inhibitors, platelet inhibitors and tick antiplatelet peptides; vascular cell growth promotors such as growth factor inhibitors, growth factor receptor antagonists, transcriptional activators, and translational promotors; vascular cell growth inhibitors such as growth factor inhibitors, growth factor receptor antagonists, transcriptional repressors, translational repressors, replication inhibitors, inhibitory antibodies, antibodies directed against growth factors, bifunctional molecules consisting of a growth factor and a cytotoxin, bifunctional molecules consisting of an antibody and a cytotoxin; cholesterol-lowering agents; vasodilating agents; and agents which interfere with endogeneus vascoactive mechanisms.
In practicing the invention embodied in
Once the drug 195 has been administered into the treatment area 110, the Endoscopist retracts the drug delivery device 260 from the endoscope 140 and discards the drug delivery device 260.
The activation mechanism 280 may have numerous alternative embodiments as will be evident to those of skill in the art. For example, an electric motor, a cable assembly, or compressed gas could be employed, in conjunction with a moveable face of the drug reservoir 230, to generate the force necessary to urge the drug 195 from the drug reservoir 230 during the procedure. Alternatively, a collapsible drug reservoir can be employed wherein the compressed gas is used to collapse or implode the drug reservoir 230 in order to squeeze the drug 195 from it as the volume of the drug reservoir 230 decreases.
In addition, a specific dosage of a drug can be administered through this process. For example, the Endoscopist can unscrew the drug reservoir 230 from the distal end of the catheter 170 before the procedure begins and load a specific dosage of a drug 195 into the drug reservoir 230 in order to completely expel it during the procedure. Alternatively, the specific dosage could be pre-measured by the manufacturer and then loaded into the drug reservoir 230 by the manufacturer. Moreover, the activation mechanism 280 could be calibrated in order to eject a predetermined drug dosage from the drug chamber each time the activation mechanism 280 is engaged.
The electric motor 300 in
Alternatively, instead of using the electric motor assembly described above, a cable assembly system could be used to force the drug 195 from the drug reservoir 230.
As required, the Endoscopist will pull on the loose available end of the cable 540 in order to inject the drugs into the luminal area to be treated. In operation, when the cable 540 is pulled the first pulley 520 is drawn towards the second pulley 510. Being coupled to the connecting member 320, the first pulley 520 moves the connecting member 320 along with it. As the first pulley 520 moves closer to the second pulley 510, which is rotatably mounted to the support member 550, the connecting member 320 and the piston 310, connected to the first pulley 520, will also move the same distance. As the piston 310 moves, the drug 195 present in the drug reservoir 230 is urged therefrom and is ultimately forced out the hypodermic needle into the luminal area to be treated. As is evident the cable can be pulled at various rates of speed and for various predetermined distances in order to control the dosage delivered. Therefore, in practice, the Endoscopist can administer a portion of the drugs present in the drug reservoir or can displace the entire volume of the drug reservoir by varying the length of cable 540 that the Endoscopist pulls from the working end of the drug delivery device 260.
Alternatively, as can be seen in
To prevent the undesired discharge of the drug 195 once the compressed gas chamber is charged a micro-valve 600 is inserted into the connection tube 200. This micro-valve 600 is opened and closed by depressing a plunger 640 located at the proximal end of the drug delivery device 260 on the proximal end of the valve control line 620, outside the patient's body. The valve control line 620 is in communication with the micro-valve 600. When the plunger 640 is depressed it pushes a cable 660, located within the valve control line 620 that slides the micro-valve 600 open. When the micro-valve 600 is opened the drug 195, under pressure from the compressed gas 510, can now flow and travel through the micro-valve 600 and out the hypodermic needle 120. Thus, as required during the procedure, the Endoscopist will depress the plunger 640, which opens the micro-valve 600 and permits the compressed gas 610 to push the piston 310 against the drug 195 in order to urge the drug out of the reservoir and ultimately into the treatment area.
In an alternative embodiment of the device in
As described above, an endoluminal drug delivery method device is provided. The disclosed embodiments are illustrative of the various ways in which the present invention may be practiced. Other embodiments can be implemented by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A fatal explosion and fire at a Kansas City restaurant were caused by the ignition of natural gas vapors that had collected inside the restaurant, where pilot lights had been left on despite warnings from the fire crews investigating a nearby gas line rupture, according to a report released Wednesday by the Kansas City Fire Department.
The fire and explosion at JJ's restaurant near the Country Club Plaza on Feb. 19 was caused by the "accidental ignition of natural gas vapors that accumulated inside" the restaurant, assistant city manager Patrick Klein said in a release that accompanied the investigation report. The report also said the fire began in the restaurant's kitchen and listed "heat from other open flame or smoking materials" as the "heat source."
The investigation was conducted jointly by the city of Kansas City, the fire department, the police department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The report does not assign blame for the fire and explosion, nor does it say the pilot lights were the cause of the blast that reduced the landmark restaurant to rubble, injured 16 people and killed Megan Cramer, a 46-year-old woman who worked at the restaurant.
The Missouri Public Service Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are conducting separate investigations into the cause of the natural gas line break. PSC spokesman Kevin Kelly said the PSC staff report is due June 27. The PSC staff will also be filing monthly interim reports until the final report is due, he said. OSHA's Kansas City office did not immediately return a call seeking comment about its report.
Fire department spokesman James Garrett declined additional comment Wednesday on the department's report.
The report said about an hour before the explosion was reported at 6:04 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a gas leak near the restaurant and were told by construction workers that they punctured a gas line. The construction crew said Missouri Gas Energy had been notified, according to the report.
Fire crews then went into JJ's "to warn management of the situation with the gas leak," according to the report. They told the JJ's employees to "put out all ignition sources in the kitchen and throughout the establishment." The report said the restaurant staff "started to extinguish all candles on tables and the manager informed us that they were shutting down the kitchen and all ignition sources."
A Missouri Gas Energy employee arrived and said "he had the situation under control," the fire report said.
Fire investigator Thomas Kievlan, however, said in the report that when he contacted the restaurant's manager the next day, the manager acknowledged that the fire department told him the night before to extinguish all candles and the pilot lights on the stove and hot water heater. But, Kievlan said, the manager told him that although they had put out the candles and turned off the stoves, they did not turn out the pilot lights for the stove or hot water heater.
The report also offers some detail about the extent of damage when firefighters were called back to the restaurant after the explosion.
When firefighters arrived they saw "a large body of fire and very little of the original fire building (JJ's Restaurant) standing," according to the report. Fire crews "found victims of the blast in front of the restaurant lying on the ground or in the process of self-extricating."
Firefighters also were told by witnesses "of more victims inside the restaurant," but the firefighters didn't find any in a first search of the site, the report said.
"After knockdown and overhaul, companies, assisted by dogs, searched for a missing victim. Much time was spent looking for a victim without success, in deteriorating conditions. There were waist-deep holes full of water and frigid conditions, and crews had been operating for several hours," the report said.
They stopped searching several hours later and resumed the next morning, when the victim was found near the bar area of the restaurant.
Cramer died after being "caught or trapped" when the roof collapsed at the restaurant, according to the report.
