Tiffany & Co. Invests in South African Diamond Firm
Tiffany & Co. has taken a page from Harry Winston's book and bought it's own underground jewelry box.
Last week, Harry Winston purchased the Ekati Diamond Mine and Diamonds Marketing Operations from BHP Billiton. Now the South African diamond development and exploration company, DiamondCorp plc, received a $6 million term loan from Laurelton Diamonds Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tiffany & Co. This loan gives Laurelton Diamonds the right to purchase production from the DiamondCorp's Lace Mine in South Africa.

The NCSF Incident Reporting & Response Team's purpose is to provide assistance to individuals and groups within the alternative sexual expression communities who become victimized by actions of local authorities in opposition to the freedom of expression of SM, leather/fetish, or swing practices.
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF)'s Incident Reporting & Response (IRR) Program uses three primary criteria for taking a case:
- The issue must openly, directly, and specifically relate to BDSM, swing or poly activities between consenting adults; in other words, the problems you face must relate to or be caused from your involvement in BDSM, swing or poly without question.
- The issue must be one whose outcome or precedent could affect not just the individual filing the complaint, but potentially a significant number of people with the same, or similar, problem.
- The incident needs to have a reasonable chance of a successful resolution; usually indicating that the individual filing has not also been found guilty of a crime other than behaviors currently considered illegal relating to BDSM, swing or poly.

Cheryl*, an infant at the time, was placed in the Aberdeen KidsPeace Therapeutic Foster home of Ms. H. who was already providing foster care for Cheryl's teenage mother. While the mother was in placement, she turned 18 and signed a CARS Agreement with DSS to stay in care to continue to work on her education, independent living skills and parenting skills. After only a few months, the mother decided to terminate her CARS Agreement and, as an adult, sign herself out of care.
Although Cheryl was in a good home and receiving all the necessary care for what was then determined to be significant Developmental Disabilities, Cheryl was in effect, abandoned by her mother. The custodial DSS Agency decided to leave Cheryl in the current foster home with Ms. H., as it was clearly in her best interest. Although Cheryl's progress has been slow and limited, and her disabilities will forever limit her, she has continued to make progress with the devotion and dedication of her foster parent. Doctors had even reported that there was a likelihood Cheryl would never crawl or walk or talk. At the age of three and a half, Cheryl could still not talk, was having difficulty walking and had not met many developmental milestones. Attempts to teach her sign language were also not very effective.
The biological parents' rights were terminated this year, and, now at the age of 4, Cheryl does have limited walking ability, crawls like a maniac, still does not talk, but squeals and uses some different tones to make herself known. She is also now learning to use and understand some sign language. Cheryl has now been given the greatest gift: She has been adopted by her foster parent Ms. H. who has been there for her since she was 9 months old and will continue to be there for her indefinitely.

Peter "brokep" Sunde -- who co-founded The Pirate Bay and founded Flattr, a system for allowing fans to directly pay the artists they love -- is standing for the European Parliament in Finland on behalf of the Finnish Pirate Party. Sunde was raised in Sweden, but has Finnish roots, and is able to run there. His platform sounds like an admirable and sensible one, and my personal experience of him is that he's a good, thoughtful and honorable person. If I were in Finland, he'd have my vote:
"Non-commercial file sharing should of course become legal and protected, and must re-think copyright all together. Copyright is not the thing that makes ARTISTS money, it's only for their brokers and distributors," Sunde says.
"I'd rather see us sponsor culture by pushing more money to music education, and facilities for your people to create music. It would be much more sane for cultural advancement then extending copyrights."
If elected Sunde hopes to be aggressive rather than defensive. This means not just responding to treats to Internet freedom, such as ACTA, but ensuring that this type of legislation doesn't even make it onto the political agenda in the first place.
"I think there's a huge possibility for us to impact the EU and I would like to be part of it," Sunde says.
The Pirates are delighted to have the Pirate Bay founder on board. Harri Kivistö, chairman of the the Finnish Pirate Party, says that Sunde's candidacy will raise the visibility of the party during the upcoming election. Perhaps more importantly, his values fit well within the Pirate Party movement.

As I've written before, Finland has an amazing grassroots legislation system that allows citizens to put any proposal with more than 50,000 popular endorsements to a Parliamentary vote, and the test-case for it is an eminently sensible copyright reform proposal that has been wildly successful. Tomorrow, Finnish websites will go dark and invite their readers to sign the petition, moving the proposal to Parliament.
The proposal addresses this concern by making small scale piracy a fine, at maximum, rather than its current maximum of two years in jail. By moving down the maximum penalty, the Finnish police would be more limited in their investigation methods - they won't be able to spy on citizens online, or confiscate property.
The remaining main points in the proposal include allowing fair use of copyrighted material for teaching and research, and adds fair use rights for parody and satire, which is unclear in the current legislation.
Artists' rights would also be strengthened, allowing artists to license their works through open licenses. Additionally, if a fan of an artist is being proscecuted, then the artist will have the ability to tell their representative organization to stop suing on behalf of their content.
Many decisions involving copyright in Finland are discussed and decided within a Copright Council, which includes representatives from the old media industries, such as the TV and recording industries. The proposal would also add internet operators, software, and gaming industries into that mix, as the scope of copyright expanding all the time.

Finland's Head Hunter is selling a set of accessories that you can use to turn yourself (or a mannequin) into a terrifyingly credible Judge Death from 2000AD's Judge Dredd. It appears that the costume was made by DeviantArt member Warrior1944, who may or may not be "Peter Olsson, a huge Dredd fan from Sweden," though I'm not entirely sure of the relationship here. Looks like 2000AD is gearing up for some legal enforcement against Head Hunter, so if you're planning on getting this, you should probably hurry.
Head Hunter has promised four Dark Judges, and a short film to be produced in Finland, using all of them.
You may have heard that the private Finnish copyright enforcement agency CIAPC (the same creeps who confiscated a 9 year old girl's Winnie the Pooh laptop because she downloaded a song from an artist whose CD, t-shirt and concert tickets she went on to buy) have ripped off the sourcecode for The Pirate Bay in order to launch a website opposed to The Pirate Bay. In response, The Pirate Bay has reported CIAPC to the economics crimes unit of the Finnish police.
The "parody" defense doesn't apply under Finnish law, TPB argues, citing a recent case in Finland.
"In a similar case, the prosecution and the Helsinki Court of Appeals have found that a parody site can violate the moral rights of the original author. Changing the logo or making slight edits to the text are not enough to remove this liability," they informed the police...
"While The Pirate Bay may have a positive view on copying, it will not stand by and watch copyright enforcing organizations disrespect copyright," Pirate Bay's Winston says in a comment.
"CIAPC is like an ugly high school bully without friends. It's time to take a stand. Cyber bullying is a serious matter to us all," Winston continues.
Should The Pirate Bay be awarded damages they won't keep that money for themselves. Instead, the money will go to the 9-year old girl who was "harassed" last year.
But, even if they "lose" it wouldn't be a big deal, as that's a win for the right to parody.
This right to parody is part of a new copyright law proposal in Finland, crowd-sourced by the public. Besides parody exceptions the Common Sense in Copyright campaign also aims to get rid of harsh punishments for non-commercial file-sharers.
I love that even if they lose, it will establish the case for a parody exception to Finnish copyright law, which The Pirate Bay supports and which CIAPC vehemently opposes.

This grilled cheese sandwich, made by Dude Food's Nick, is made entirely of cheese -- the "bread" is Finnish "bread cheese," toasted in the skillet with American cheese within. It's an international sensation!
Seeing this cheese really got me thinking. What if I were to make a grilled cheese sandwich that used this cheese in place of bread? A grilled cheese sandwich that was 100% cheese! I had no idea if it would even work, but right on the packaging Carr Valley actually recommends sautéing this cheese in a skillet. Plus, the cheese is already partially baked in an oven — hence the dark brown spots on it — so I figured it would be worth a shot.
I started off by heating up some oil in a pan and cutting the block of bread cheese in half. I added a couple slices of American cheese to the middle of my sandwich and sautéed it for a couple minutes on each side. It turned out way better than I even expected. The bread cheese softened up a bit, but completely kept its shape, while the American cheese melted perfectly in the middle. Long story short, the sandwich was delicious!
Oona Räisänen has written a thorough and engrossing article about the noises emitted by dial-up modems while they connect and handshake, and the accompanying graphic (ZOMG HUGE) is nothing short of spectacular. It would make a great full-size poster -- maybe a framed art-print.
Now the modems must address the problem of echo suppression. When humans talk, only one of them is usually talking while the other one listens. The telephone network exploits this fact and temporarily silences the return channel to suppress any confusing echoes of the talker's own voice.
Modems don't like this at all, as they can very well talk at the same time (it's called full-duplex). The answering modem now puts on a special answer tone that will disable any echo suppression circuits on the line. The tone also has periodic "snaps" (180° phase transitions) that aim to disable yet another type of circuit called echo canceller.
Now the modems will list their supported modulation modes and try to find one that both know. They also probe the line with test tones to see how it responds to tones of different frequencies, and how much it attenuates the signal. They exchange their test results and decide a speed that is suitable for the line.
After this, the modems will go to scrambled data. They put their data through a special scrambling formula before transmission to make its power distribution more even and to make sure there are no patterns that are suboptimal for transfer. They listen to each other sending a series of binary 1's and adjust their equalizers to optimally shape the incoming signal.
Finland's Varusteleka sells a multipurpose "Jerven Fjellduken" tarpaulin that you're meant to wear, sleep under, and sleep in. It makes you look like a well-camouflaged Nordic Nazgul.
Jerven bag, those are almost words of power among hunters, outdoorsmen and soldiers the world over. Jerven has been making the Fjellduken since 1982, besides the obvious hunting trips and hikes the Fjellduken has seen action in Afghanistan in the hands of Norwegian and Danish special forces.
You won't find any hi-fi bullshit in your Jerven bag, the technical bits start and end at the zippers, that's it. All of Jervens products are made and developed by the very same people who use them. The unique design and materials make the Jerven bag an incredibly versatile and high performing piece of equipment. This is not your standard modern trinket, which relies on never ending lists of one after another more trivial properties and features to impress people, this is simple perfection at its best!

Thanks for the support
ADVrider is a bit of a odd place to post about long ride or race aspirations. The crew that represents the essence of ADVrider are at the core supportive, but making this thread is akin to a freshman congressman telling stories of his budget accomplishments back from hometown mayoral days or a c-list actor chatting with Robert Deniro about his inspiration while filming "Attack of the Bionic Fingernail Snatchers." ADVrider has riders who have done everything on two wheels two or three times over, so a thread about a guy who's doing a few races is not the sexiest destination on this site. To me this has been my life for almost a year and if all goes as planned will keep going through to Baja in the fall. It may be someone else's side project, but it's my Big Show, and since my chances for a podium finish are hard to predict, I'd like to take some time now before Vegas to send out a shout to the people and companies who have supported me in the run up to V2R.
First, thanks to the YWCA in Salt Lake for letting me associate with their group. They are a very positive organization and contribute a lot of goodwill and support to the local community. Also thanks to the people who have made donations to the YWCA in consideration of this effort. A number of ADVr's have donated as well as others. Thanks everyone.
Warp 9 - Kevin at Warp 9 has been great with helping with wheels and pegs. They are a great company local to Utah.
LocalHeroMX - Jon prints MX shirts and decals has been my single source for decals and printed goods. His service is amazing, his prices can't be beat and I'm always happy to support a local business in Utah. He's even helped my mount the backgrounds on more than one occasion. Thanks Jon.
Konflict Motorsports - Alex was a big help getting the suspension dialed on the 450x and he also worked magic on the stiction and setup I had on the 950 Adv forks.
Wolfsnout - Tim has a product that I'll be using at V2R. Since I'm pretty good at sucking dust, he choose the perfect person to sponsor with his product.
Brandon - On the left is my Utah partner in crime. Always there to lend a hand, and in this case listen to my many hours of preparation talk. He's also, along with another good friend of my, Kevin, giving up their time to chase me at V2R. Thanks
Chris - On the right is the guy who helped my hatch this plan, circa 1993 or so. We have a ton of motorcycle adventures together and Chris listens non-judgmentally to all of my harebrained ideas and casually ignores the worst of them.
Both Brandon and Chris, this is the closest I could get to having you guys come along. Keep a good look out for me down there. Point me away from the big rocks please.
Last a big thanks to my family. Without their support and encouragement this would not be happening. Thanks for putting up with my and my craziness. I love you guys.
Thanks to the ADVrider community as well. This really is a unique and positive online community. See you in Vegas.

Poverty, mobility have ties to dropout rate, experts say
"It's sad," she said, "because that changes their final outcome. Ninth-graders — kids that have their whole lives ahead of them."
Sanders and her staff are fighting that culture of indifference before it's too late.
"If they don't understand the value of a high school diploma, they will," she said. "We have to keep them here long enough to know that."
What works: prevention
One of the keys to lowering the dropout rate is prevention, said Linda Toure, the executive director of school turnaround for the Oklahoma City district.
Schools have to be prepared for students who float in and out of schools, Toure said. That's why common educational standards across the district and the state are key, she said.
"The students we start out with are not necessarily the students we end up with at the end of the year," Toure said.
Even when students don't switch schools, educators have to intervene when they see a student struggling academically, emotionally or socially, Toure said.
At Grant, counselors try to intercept students facing chaos off campus. The library is open for an hour after school four days a week so students can make up class time.
A food pantry is stocked with vegetables, peanut butter and Pop-Tarts. An assistant principal packed up a bag of food Friday afternoon for a girl whose mother has cancer.
A clothing rack was lined with shirts and coats in school uniform colors. All of it was paid for by private donations — most of them from teachers.
Interventions aside, the most important thing is strong, positive relationships between school staff and students.
Students will return to school day after day if they know teachers notice and care about their absences, Toure said.
"It's so critical to build strong relationships where kids and parents know we care about them and we care about their future enough to go one step further," Toure said.
Building those relationships can be difficult when staff turnover is high.
Nearly two years ago, half of the teachers at Grant were forced out as part of an overhaul of the school. New teachers were brought in.
What Sanders has now is a young staff — most in their 20s.
They're enthusiastic, energetic and passionate, she said. They put in extra hours left and right. But working at a school the outside world writes off as a failure is difficult.
"The pressure is debilitating if you're not paying attention," Sanders said.
The solution is to create a team atmosphere where students can rely on teachers and teachers can rely on administrators.
Students need to be able to trust teachers year after year, and teachers need to stay long enough to teach siblings and even generations. Consistency builds trust.
"That's when you have a change in culture," Sanders said.
Sanders and her team have already started changing the culture at the school, said senior Anthony Hartfield. The 18-year-old found out recently he was accepted to the architecture program at the University of Oklahoma.
"This year, the teachers teach more," said Hartfield, who plays basketball for Grant. "We learn more."
Last year, students didn't think twice about ignoring teachers or taking out their phones in classes. Now, the expectations have changed, Hartfield said, and students know it.
"The students are good," he said.
Hopes of returning
Flory said she's only a few credits shy of completing high school.
"I really want to go back to school," she said. "I want to finish and graduate."
Her eyes widen when she talks about the possibilities of life with a high school diploma — maybe a job in the medical or veterinary fields.
She knows it will be an uphill battle.
Her family — her mother, stepfather and three sisters — moved to Oklahoma from California when Flory was in middle school.
Flory has been diagnosed with several learning disabilities and reads at a third-grade level, she said. Other students made fun of her relentlessly.
"I didn't like it," she said. "I didn't like the schools. I didn't like the people."
But high school was different. She liked going to Grant.
"It's not a bad school," she said.
"It's not. Grant has some challenges and some flaws, but for the most part, they're really involved in your education."
For now, Flory is staying at home.
Her fiance, Juan Velasco, is 19. He was working at a fast food job to support everyone — his fiancee, his mother, his 7-year-old brother and himself — since his father was deported. But he recently got a job as a carpenter.
They plan to marry this July, said Flory, wearing braces on her teeth and a bow in her hair.
Flory said she's trying to get her life back on track and leave the abuse, broken homes and poverty behind.
"It's all over," she said. "It's all done with. Life moves on. If you don't move on, it will stick with you and drag you down."

Richards out for Game 3
Jun 4, 2013, 2:10 PM EDT
The Los Angeles Kings will be without center Mike Richards for the second straight game tonight when they host Chicago Blackhawks at the Staples Center.
Kings coach Darryl Sutter confirmed this morning that Richards is out for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
"If it was just about Mike Richards making the decision, Mike Richards is playing tonight," said Sutter.
It's suspected the 28-year-old suffered a concussion in Game 1 when he was hit by 'Hawks forward Dave Bolland.
Richards took the warm-up before Game 2 but did not play.
It's a big blow for a Kings side that's already behind 2-0 in the series. With 10 points in 14 games, Richards leads the team in playoff scoring.
Rookie forward Tyler Toffoli will replace Richards, as he did in Game 2.
- sjsharks66 - Jun 4, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Hmm… Accidental head contact and no hearing for Bolland? I thought the hit was clean. I also thought the Torres hit was clean.
Very confusing NHL. "Questionable hit" the lead to an injury in one series is suspend-able but a "questionable hit" in another is not.
- bwana63 - Jun 4, 2013 at 2:56 PM
Torre's hit clean? Idiotic
Brown's elbow to Toew's throat clean too? On second thought, don't bother.
- titansrbeast - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:19 PM
It makes me lol to see people still saying Raffi's hit was dirty….I think what you all really mean is Raffi can't hit if he does he's suspended!
- bwana63 - Jun 4, 2013 at 6:49 PM
Initially thought you were referring to Torres' dirty hit on Hossa. Am guessing you were referring to the Stoll hit.
- hockeysteph2013 - Jun 4, 2013 at 2:45 PM
Bolland turned so that his back hit Richards. There was no vicious elbow to the head. No illegal head hunting… it is unfortunate that Richards is out, but this was not a cheap shot on an unsuspecting player. Torres got what he deserved.
- comeonnowguys - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:00 PM
He's not going to let that go. But I agree.
- hawks888119 - Jun 4, 2013 at 2:49 PM
Unfortunate for the Kings and Richards. Advantage Hawks!
- gauchomvp - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:10 PM
Is Torres good enough to affect the outcome of the series? No. Is Stoll good enough to affect the outcome of the series? Based on the beating the Kings took in face-offs, yes. Kings win either way, let it go SJSharks, you should be used to playoff disappointment by now. This really hurts the Kings for this series but you won't hear Kings fans constant whining like SJ even after its now over. It's unfortunate but the Kings have some adversity to overcome. The intangibles he brings on top of his play on the ice is irreplaceable. Kings have some adversity to overcome this Cup run.
- cmcdermottsite - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:18 PM
While i do not believe Bolland's hit was illegal, I do believe the way the league was reviewing everthing during the regular season Bolland would have gotten something. Why the league is letting it all go now is a mystery. If Detroit played the regular season like the 2nd round virtually the whole team would have been suspended!
- sjsharks66 - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:27 PM
The torres incident was just an example of how comical the disciplinary system is. Im just surprised bolland didn't get the mystery wheel of punishment. That's all.
- comeonnowguys - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:48 PM
Because he hasn't already had half a dozen hits under scrutiny and several previous suspensions?
What about that is so damn hard to understand?
- aldog83 - Jun 4, 2013 at 3:59 PM
CLIFFORD, KING, whoever needs to get physical!!!!!!!!
We need to punish Chicago.
Im not asking for a Cheap Shot.
I Just want to see the Kings Punish the Hawks!
Time for Kopitar to step ups and control the game.
He is so strong on the puck and gifted. Time to take over a series.
If its a concussion Richards could be gone for the year…..
It starts tonight Kings. (Or it ENDS Tonight)
Toews showed lack of composure in Detroit with 3 penalties in a period.
Kings need to get him like that again!
The 2012 Kopitar & Brown production and 3rd and 4th line scoring can help save the Kings!
I believe Toews and Kane have ZERO goals…..and still Hawks up 2-0!!!!
Time for ALL the Kings men…….To Show up!!!!!!
- comeonnowguys - Jun 4, 2013 at 4:34 PM
New Blomfield?
- aldog83 - Jun 4, 2013 at 5:28 PM
Hawks are a great team. (Maybe the best)
Look way faster than the KIngs…..
I just want the Kopitar and Brown to step up.
and more offense from Doughty would help.
It has been a great ride and I feel we are wasting Quicks goaltending.
At least if Kopitar and Brown and the support lines could score….I could live with the elimination.
If not……I will be anquishing over what could have been.
Especially now that Pittsburgh looks beatable.
NHL playoffs over NBA playoffs…. Any day!!!! and certainly over the boring front end of a 162 baseball game season!
Go Kings Go! Make the Hawks work for it!

Home Ashford News Article
A giant freezer used by frozen food firms is set to bring in more business as it expands in size.
Ardo UK is spending £4m on making its cold store 20% bigger.
The fruit and veg producer, based in Charing, makes more money by storing food for companies bringing in frozen goods from mainland Europe.
Once the work is complete, its capacity will increase from 19,000 pallets to 23,200.
Ardo UK's supply chain director Jon Barnes said: "Our cold store is just off the M20 and close to the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel, making us an attractive location for companies bringing in frozen goods from mainland Europe.
"Although cold storage is not our core business, it is an important additional source of income that helps make sure we remain a financially sustainable business."
As well as the increased freezer space, the development will include new loading docks able to accommodate double-decker trailers.
Ardo UK was named Frozen Food Manufacturer of the Year in 2013.
It opened its current site in Charing in 2000, expanding it in 2010 with a new factory, packaging store and cold store extension.
The new development is scheduled to be finished by October this year.
Acoustic fencing and low level lighting will be used minimise light and noise disruption.

Product description
The definitive story of Fischer Black, one of the greatest financial minds of all time Besides revolutionizing finance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model, Fischer Black forever changed Wall Street by developing what is now known as quantitative finance. Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance explores Black's intellectual journey from Harvard to the offices of ADL, from the University of Chicago to MIT, and then to Goldman Sachs. This poignant book tells the story of one man's intellectual adventure at the very center of modern finance, fully describing the birth of quantitative finance and financial engineering along the way. Years of research and interviews with Black's business and academic associates, as well as family and friends, are distilled into a scholarly yet personal story of the formation and development of the extraordinary mind and unique character of this unassuming renegade Black deciphered the universe of modern finance in ways that went underappreciated for many years and would have won the Nobel Prize in Economics, if not for his untimely death in 1995 Author Perry Mehrling weaves Black's personal story with the birth of modern finance into a vignette-based business biography that captures the essence of this extraordinary man, explaining, for the first time, the ground-breaking impact Fischer Black had on the worlds of money and finance as well as world markets This compelling biography of the "Einstein of Finance" follows Fischer Black through his incredible career, from his transition from academia to one of the most elite of firms on Wall Street--Goldman Sachs--where he developed quantitative models that tens of thousands of professionals still use today. Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance demystifies this genius of finance and provides an engaging and entertaining look at a man whose life's work encapsulates modern financial theory.

Praise for FISCHER BLACK AND THE REVOLUTIONARY IDEA OF FINANCE"The story of Fischer Black. . . . is remarkable both because of the creativity of the man and because of the revolution he brought to Wall Street. . . . Mehrling's book is fascinating." --"FINANCIAL TIMES""A fascinating history of things we take for granted in our everyday financial lives." --"THE NEW YORK TIMES""Mehrling's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of modern finance or the life of an idiosyncratic creative genius." --"PUBLISHERS WEEKLY""Fischer Black was more than a vital force in the development of finance theory. He was also a character. Perry Mehrling has captured both sides of the picture: the evolution of thinking about the pricing of risk and time, as well as the thinkers, especially this fascinating eccentric, who worked it out." --ROBERT M. SOLOW, Nobel laureate and Institute Professor of Economics, Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"Although I worked closely with Fischer for nine years at Goldman Sachs and clearly recognized both his genius and the breadth and originality of his ideas, until I read this book, I had only the vaguest grasp of the source of his inspiration and no understanding at all of the source of his many idiosyncrasies." --BOB LITTERMAN, Partner, Kepos Capital"Perry Mehrling has done a remarkable job of tracing the intellectual and personal development of one of the most original and complex thinkers of our generation. Fischer Black deserved it: a charming and brilliant book about a charming and brilliant man." --ROBERT E. LUCAS JR., Nobel laureate and Professor of Economics, The University of Chicago

Just terrible — on Apr. 10, a mother took her 17-year-old daughter off of life support after the teen hung herself a week earlier. The mother claimed that her daughter took her own life after being raped by four teenage boys and subsequently bullied by classmates for it afterwards. Keep reading for more details.

N.Korea is being bullied, gun debate, gay rights, illegal wars, bailouts??
What is going on while this non issue is being paraded across the front news page?

Welcome aboard. Those are some nice models. I think some texture work will really help these. The shinyness is a bit too plastic looking. Add some dents, rust or paint onto him and it'll really show of the model better. Keep posting.

Brewster, Staff Sgt. Steven Mattson
In January of 2001, Mr. Mattson left his job on Wall Street and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2004 Sergeant Mattson served as Sergeant Guard for Force Protection at the Ornance Compound at Al Asad Airbase in Iraq. Shortly after returning from Iraq, Sergeant Mattson became a member of the Brewster VFW, and is very involved in his community, serving as a Den Leader for the Boy Scouts, Board Member of the Putnam County Land Trust and the Town Historian for Southeast.
"It is my pleasure to accept the nomination of Staff Sergeant Steven Mattson into the Veterans' Hall of Fame. Steven has selflessly served our country in Iraq and upon his return has continued to serve through his community service and his "Adventures Around Putnam" initiative," said Senator Greg Ball. "America is not a great country because of its politicians, it's a great country because of its veterans like Steven."
"The best part of being nominated for this award is the message it sends my kids. They see by my example that it is important to give back to the community, and veterans have a special place within our community," said Mattson.

Leslie McGuirk spins the story of a very particular family in search of a home, with lively verse and quirky illustrations.The Moogees want very much to find a new home. Mama Moogee says, "We need a new place that is on the ground. It would be nice if it were round." Papa Moogee adds, "I'd love to find a home with class, a nice wide yard, and plenty of grass." But the three little Moogies just scream, "WAA WAA MOOGEE DOOGEE WEE WEE LOW LUM!" Mr. Ruru, the real estate agent, tries hard to help them find the perfect place, but the Moogees think all the houses are too blue, too expensive, or look like a piece of cheese. Will they ever find a house to call their own? As the Moogees discover, the family you share it with is the most important part!

Physics FAQ
- What is the difference between Physics 40 and Physics 41?
- What is the difference between Physics 10 and Physical Science 11?
- How do I get a prerequisite block removed?
- Can I take Physics 4C and Physics 4D at the same time?
- Do I have to take the lab?
- Can I get AP credit?
Physics 40 and Physics 41 are designed for students who would like to take the physics 2 series or the physics 4 series, but have never had a physics class before, or would like a refresher course. Both classes are transferable to the UC or CSU systems. Typically students are encouraged to take physics 40 as preparation for the physics 2 series and physics 41 as preparation for the physics 4 series. Physics 41 is generally taught at a higher math level and includes some reference to calculus. If you are planning on taking the Physics 4 series but cannot fit PHYC 41 in your schedule it would be appropriate to take PHYC 40.
Both classes are conceptual introductions to physics or physical science. Emphasis on topics that lead to a better understanding of our technological society and physical environment. Both Conceptual Physics and Conceptual Physical Science were developed by Paul Hewitt an emeritus professor of Physics at CCSF. Neither course has a math prerequisite although ratios and some simple algebra are used. Equations are used as guides for thinking and not for "plug and chug" exercises.
Conceptual Physics covers topics in physics including motion, forces, energy, heat, sound, light and nuclear physics. Conceptual Physical Science covers a shorter version of the physics topics in addition to topics in Chemistry, Earth Science, and Astronomy.
If you received a message when you register that states that you have a pre-requisite block and you feel that it is an error, please contact the department chair. This may happen if you have taken a course at a different school and you have not transferred the course to CCSF. If that is the case, send a copy of your transcript, your CCSF student ID number, and the CCSF physics course that you would like to add to the department chair. It can usually be cleared up within a day or two.
Strong students may be allowed to take the last two semesters concurrently. The lab class is a co-requisite of its corresponding lecture and a required component for transfer in almost all cases. Contact the department chair if you believe you may be an exception.
Physics 10 and Physical Science 11 may be transferred without the corresponding lab class.
For the Physics 4 and Physics 2 series, lab classes are co-requisites of their corresponding lectures and a required component for transfer in almost all cases. Contact the department chair if you believe you may be an exception.
Can I get AP credit?
The policy for AP tests is in the CCSF Catalog.
Physics B 3/4/5, 3 units, consult with the department chair.
Physics C Mechanics 3/4/5, 3 units, consult with the department chair.
Physics C Electricity and Magnetism 3/4/5, consult with the department chair.
The reason for the consultation with the department chair is that AP test policy varies widely for different 4 year institutions. As of Fall 2011 these are examples of different policies:
SFSU requires a 3 or better on the Physics B test for the equivalent of Physics 2A at CCSF, or a 4 or better on the Physics C Mechanics test for the equivalent of Physics 4A at CCSF, note that neither of these include the labs at CCSF.
UC Berkeley requires Physics C, both tests: Sum of scores 9 or higher for the equivalent of Physics 4A and 4AL at CCSF.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Quantitative And Qualitative Research Methods In order for the advancement of human knowledge to take place, there must be a search for any systematic investigation. The main goal of any type of research is to establish facts and produce new knowledge. The two research methods that can be applied to a study are qualitative and quantitative research. However, the type of research method that will be used will depend on the properties of the subject matter as well as the objective of the research. Both types of research methods encounter their own advantages and disadvantages. With regard to quantitative methods, data is controlled and measured in order to address the accumulation of facts and to determine the causes of behavior. It is the theorists who choose the questions and define what areas are seen as relevant for a certain study. The researchers try to recognize and isolate specific variables in order to see correlations, relationships, and causality. They try to avoid the risk of variables, other than the one being studied, by controlling the environment in which the data is collected in. This data is usually objective, numerically, and statistically based. In most cases, the methods which are explained in great detail can be easily replicated. This leads to a high reliability. The results can be reduced to a few numerical statistics and then interpreted in short statements. The use of quantitative instruments can verify observations collected during informal field observations. (Westerman, 2006) It can be very likely for findings to be biased by the researcher's perspective with regard to quantitative research. Researchers should use subjects who are unknown to them. Since research often takes place in an unnatural setting, the researchers must create an "artificial" environment in an attempt to control the relevant variables. However, they cannot be 100% positive that the results obtained will reflect and apply in the real world. In other words, their data may provide unrealistic information. The fact that results may be statistically reliable and significant can also lead to a disadvantage for the reason that some things that are numerically precise are not true and vice versa. This type of data overlooks motivations, feelings, opinions, and attitudes of the researchers as well as the participants. Quantitative research has a low validity because it uses measures that capture only a tiny portion of the concept that is originally under the study. In this case, the research might not even measure what the researcher claims it does. In addition, quantitative research projects tend to cost more than qualitative research because they include a larger number of respondents. (Westerman, 2006) Qualitative data spans a range of material from the descriptions of social life provided by participant observation and unstructured interviews, to information from written source. It can be viewed as "a systematic approach to understanding qualities or the essential nature of phenomena within a particular context" (Dollaghan, 2007). Qualitative methods view data from another's perspective and allows the researchers to obtain a more holistic approach because the data is collected within the context of its natural occurrence. It "allows phenomena to be described from using their own words, by regarding experiences, intuition, feelings, and vibes as relevant". This type of research depends on the interpretations of individual experiences which will have a bearing on the findings, making replication in repeated research difficult. These researchers will study documents, case histories, and carry out observations and interviews. (Kneale & Santy, 1999) With regard to qualitative research, data is provided in depth and in detail. A sense of "openness" exists for the reason that new theories can be generated and one can recognize phenomena that were ignored by previous researchers. It attempts to avoid pre-judgments by trying to capture what is happening without being judgmental. This type of research can be viewed as a holistic approach that allows the researcher to examine the "totality" of a unit as well as describe current situations and existing phenomena. These results can be helpful in "pioneering new ground". Qualitative data emphasizes the importance in understanding how people see themselves and their lives, what their situations mean to them, and how they adapt and cope with the problems that arise. (Wenger, 1999) Sample sizes in qualitative research are often small and the sampling is often purposive rather than focused on statistical principles, such as randomization. The unit of analysis is usually written description rather than numerically derived data. However, this type of research makes it difficult to accumulate data and make systematic comparisons. It is dependent upon the researcher's personal attributes, skills, and participation in a setting. Objectivity is impossible to have since the researcher includes personal experience and insight as part of the relevant data. This type of research has very low reliability since it does not have a structured design or a standardized procedure. Many scientists view this as "soft" and "unscientific" research because statistics are not used and graphical results are not displayed. If there is any potential for research bias, then it needs to be mentioned in relation to the finding and conclusions drawn. (Kneale & Santy, 1999) The major ethical principles involved in research include autonomy, beneficence, non- maleficence, and justice. It is important for researchers to report how each of these issues has been dealt with before the reviewer can conclude that the study has been carried out in an ethical manner. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods search for bias, reliability, replicability, objectivity, and etc. One can say that quantitative measurements often rely on qualitative assumptions, about which concepts or hypotheses are worth measuring and conceptualizing. When using qualitative methods, the disadvantage of collecting data from a small group within the study can be compensated for using a quantitative survey instrument that collects data from all parties. Quantitative researchers will want consistent data to enable them to replicate their findings. At the same time, qualitative researchers require validity of data to provide representation of a true and full picture. Combining methods ultimately strengthens the valve of the research.

Customer Reviews of OtterBox iPhone 4 4G 4S Defender Case WHITE Replacement Belt Clip holster
Used to be a "Clip/Holster" guy before I used this1/18/2013
I absolutely love my Otterbox Defender Series case for the iPhone 4/4S. It has saved my iphone countless times. Unfortunately, this review isn't on the case itself but on the clip holster. Now, I know not everyone is a clip person and before buying my Otterbox, I was very much a clip guy. I loved the ease of accessing my phone from my side rather then digging into my pants pocket and pulling the phone out along with my keys, loose coins and whatever else was in that pocket. Within 2 to 3 days of using the clip, I realized I wouldn't be a "clip" guy anymore. The holster seems to grab onto the case so well, I had to use both hands to dismount it. Because of its size, I had to slide the holster to different positions on my belt so I could sit down. When taking the holster off at the end of the day, it seemed faster for me to unclip the holster by getting out of my pants rather then struggling with it while still in my pants. The only feature I like is the "kick stand" feature. I've ranked this clip holster 1 out of 5 for overall satisfaction. I used to love holsters but after using this item for 3 days tops, I can't even picture myself going back to a holster. Sorry Otterbox…buy I still love and I'm a big supporter of your Defender case.
