The Fort Dorchester volleyball team picked up wins over Summerville and Stratford last week.
The Patriots defeated the Green Wave 25-14, 25-19 to improve to 17-1 on the season and 4-1 in Region 8-AAAA. Summerville put up a good fight, but Fort Dorchester was strong defensively and got its normal offensive production.
"We've been working on our defense, covering and making blocks," Fort coach Tarshie Burrell said. "We're making sure we position ourselves so when we dig or block we don't just hit the ball out of bounds. My Libero, McKenzie Long, had a great game defensively."
Senior Jasmine Quinn and junior Kira Ozegovich led the way at the net for the Fort, providing several blocks. Behind them, several players made some nice digs to fend off hot shots.
Quinn, Ozegovich, Amanda Gluck and Monica Mack led the offensive charge.
Prior to the Summerville match, the Patriots made short work of Stratford, defeating the Knights 25-11, 25-4. Quinn made seven kills in the match and scored with two serves. Senior Rachel Phillips, Gluck and Ozegovich also had a strong performance.
Entering the second half of region games, the Patriots are hoping to avenge a loss to Bluffton and claim a piece of the region crown. To earn a region championship outright, they will likely need another region foe to beat the Bobcats.
"We know what we have to do to and that is our goal," Burrell said.
The Patriots travel to Cane Bay Thursday and host Ashley Ridge Oct. 8.

- Signatures of a minimal length scale in high precision experiments (2004)
- We discuss modifications of the gyromagnetic moment of electrons and muons due to a minimal length scale combined with a modified fundamental scaleMf . First-order deviations from the theoretical standard model value for g-2 due to these String Theory-motivated e ects are derived. Constraints for the new fundamental scale Mf are given.
- Transport theories for heavy ion collisions in the 1 AGeV regime (2004)
- We compare multiplicities as well as rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of protons, pions and kaons calculated within presently available transport approaches for heavy ion collisions around 1 AGeV. For this purpose, three reactions have been selected: Au+Au at 1 and 1.48 AGeV and Ni+Ni at 1.93 AGeV.
- Universal transition curve in pseudo-rapidity distribution (2004)
- We show that an unambiguous way of determining the universal limiting fragmentation region is to consider the derivative (d 2 n / d eta 2) of the pseudo-rapidity distribution per participant pair. In addition, we find that the transition region between the fragmentation and the central plateau regions exhibits a second kind of universal behavior that is only apparent in d 2 n / d eta 2. The sqrt s dependence of the height of the central plateau (d n / d eta) eta=0 and the total charged particle multiplicity n total critically depend on the behavior of this universal transition curve. Analyzing available RHIC data, we show that (dn/d eta) eta=0 can be bounded by ln 2 s and n total can be bounded by ln 3 s. We also show that the deuteron-gold data from RHIC has the exactly same features as the gold-gold data indicating that these universal behaviors are a feature of the initial state parton-nucleus interactions and not a consequence of final state interactions. Predictions for LHC energy are also given.
- Signatures of large extra dimensions (2004)
- String theory suggests modifications of our spacetime such as extra dimensions and the existence of a mininal length scale. In models with addidional dimensions, the Planck scale can be lowered to values accessible by future colliders. Effective theories which extend beyond the standart-model by including extra dimensions and a minimal length allow computation of observables and can be used to make testable predictions. Expected effects that arise within these models are the production of gravitons and black holes. Furthermore, the Planck-length is a lower bound to the possible resolution of spacetime which might be reached soon.
- Nonequilibrium models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions (2004)
- To be published in J. Phys. G - Proceedings of SQM 2004 : We review the results from the various hydrodynamical and transport models on the collective flow observables from AGS to RHIC energies. A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A.GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the v2-flow ~ 10 A.GeV; at 40 A.GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density r b. Moreover, the connection of the elliptic flow v2 to jet suppression is examined. It is proven experimentally that the collective flow is not faked by minijet fragmentation. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially (< 50%) be due to hadronic rescattering. Furthermore, the change in sign of v1, v2 closer to beam rapidity is related to the occurence of a high density first order phase transition in the RHIC data at 62.5, 130 and 200 A.GeV.
- Strangeness dynamics and transverse pressure in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions (2004)
- We investigate hadron production as well as transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD) that are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The comparison to experimental data on transverse mass spectra from pp, pA and C+C (or Si+Si) reactions shows the reliability of the transport models for light systems. For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at bombarding energies above ~5 A·GeV, furthermore, the measured K± transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. We investigate various scenarios to explore their potential effects on the K± spectra. In particular the initial state Cronin effect is found to play a substantial role at top SPS and RHIC energies. However, the maximum in the K+/..+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV is missed by 40% and the approximately constant slope of the K± spectra at SPS energies is not reproduced either. Our systematic analysis suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential µq and temperature T- should be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions.
- Review of QGP signatures - ideas versus observables (2004)
- We investigate hadron production and transverse hadron spectra in nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (UrQMD and HSD) based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The enhancement of pion production in central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions relative to scaled pp collisions (the 'kink') is described well by both approaches without involving a phase transition. However, the maximum in the K+ p+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV (the 'horn') is missed by ~ 40%. Also, at energies above ~5 A·GeV, the measured K± mT-spectra have a larger inverse slope than expected from the models. Thus the pressure generated by hadronic interactions in the transport models at high energies is too low. This finding suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD at finite quark chemical potential and temperature - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central heavy-ion collisions. Finally, we discuss the emergence of density perturbations in a first-order phase transition and why they might affect relative hadron multiplicities, collective flow, and hadron mean-free paths at decoupling. A minimum in the collective flow v2 excitation function was discovered experimentally at 40 A·GeV - such a behavior has been predicted long ago as signature for a first order phase transition.

The opening weekend of the festival is an extravaganza of art, music, food and fun!
To start things off with a bang, everyone is invited to the first annual Festival Community Picnic. The picnic will take place on Sunday, August 5, from 6 to 10 p.m., at the Lareau Farm Inn.
"We created this event as a way for residents and visitors alike to come together and celebrate the arts. It is completely free! Bring a picnic and blanket and relax on the sweeping lawns of Lareau Farm. Let the children run, listen to two bands – Haywire and The Grift – and hang out with your family and friends," said festival director Karen Nevin.
The Community Picnic will also be the place to check out what the Festival has planned during the coming month. Event organizers will have booths where people can learn more about their event and see their work. People can buy tickets to the Taste of the Valley and the Young Musician's Award Concert and purchase the 2012 Festival commemorative poster by local artist Karla Bove. In addition, the Big Red Barn Art Show will be holding its opening reception on Sunday evening. This annual event showcases the artistic talents of the people of the Mad River Valley.
"I wanted to start the Festival with an event for everyone," said Nevin. "This is a party that will kick off the Festival of the Arts. We received substantial sponsorship for this event from National Life Group and I am thrilled that we can make it a free event for the community. There is no reason not to join us on Sunday evening!"
To top off the picnic, there will be a fabulous fireworks show by Northstar Fireworks. Expect the skies to be painted with color and light!
Though Monday is not the weekend, the traditional start of the Festival has always been the Taste of the Valley, on August 6 at Sugarbush Resort. This social event features restaurants, farmers and food purveyors from The Valley showing off their talents in mini form. Expect treats from fresh-squeezed veggie juices to yummy sliders, homemade ice cream to tiny cupcakes, and everything in between. New to the Taste this year is the Bird's Nest Bistro. Amanda Astheimer, formerly chef at The Big Picture, has opened her new Bistro at The Bridges Resort. Other newcomers Tonewood Maple Products will be showing off their take on the state flavor – maple – and The Sweet Spot will hit the spot with cupcakes and ice cream!
"The Taste has a new twist this year," said Gary Eckhart, Valley Arts Foundation president. "In order to better support the vendors, we are giving each attendee Taste tickets to use for each taste. The vendors will collect the tickets and we will pay them a certain amount depending upon how many tickets they collect. It is so important to us to support the vendors. This event could not happen without them."
Also new to the Taste will be a raffle. Items are being collected from in and around The Valley. The Grand Prize will be a specially made Taste of the Valley bench painted by Gary Eckhart and Dotty Kyle.
"These benches are the talk of the town and you can come away with one of your own," Nevin said.
Tickets for the Taste are going fast; call 496-6682 or drop by the Festival Gallery to purchase tickets.

New bench revealed at Festival Gallery!
The Madsonian bench "Art Inaction," imagined and created by Stefanie Schulman, has arrived at the Festival Gallery in Waitsfield. This extraordinary bench is a must-see. Adorned with found objects and covered with decoupaged quotes and images, this bench will take hours to properly view. With a vase on one arm and teapot on the other, wheels and gears and spinning objects on the back, it is impossible not to touch and play with it. This bench is a wonderful addition to the Benches on Parade fundraiser for the Valley Arts Foundation. Bidding for all benches is online at www.vermontartfest.com.

A Gömböc for Cambridge
The University of Cambridge today received a Gömböc. It was donated by its inventors Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi. But what is a Gömböc and what is the University going to do with it?
A Gömböc (pronounce goemboets) is a three-dimensional body with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point. If you put it down on a horizontal surface, it will start wobbling around until it has safely reached the equilibrium position, a bit like a Weeble toy. In theory, you could balance it on the unstable equilibrium point, but in practice that's really hard because the slightest nudge will make it fall over, just like a pencil that is balancing on its tip. Unlike a Wheeble, whose self-righting ability is down to a weight in its bottom, the Gömböc is homogenous inside: its density is the same everywhere, ie there is no off-centre weight which forces it to take on a particular position. The Gömböc is also convex.
The question of whether a convex and homogenous body with one unstable and one stable equilibrium exists in three dimensions was first raised by the Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold. Mathematicians knew before that in two dimensions there are no such shapes, and they also knew that every three-dimensional object must have at least two equilibria. Domokos and Várkonyi started working on the question and did not only prove that the Gömböc exists, but also built one. In fact, they're building many, from different materials, and they're selling them on the Gömböc website.
The Gömböc is not only beautiful and interesting, but also sheds some light on how a certain species of turtle, with a Gömböc-like shell, manages to get back on its feet after it has been toppled over. Gömböcs need to be engineered to the highest levels of precision, otherwise they won't work. The Gömböc that was today donated to the University of Cambridge can be admired at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science. Plus will interview its inventors next month and you'll be able to read the interview here soon.
You can see a Gömböc doing its thing on YouTube, though the video clip is in German.

Maths in the movies and more
If you've been following Plus coverage on maths in the movies and theatre, and happen to find yourself in Edinburgh next week, then check out the Edinburgh International Science Festival's movie season and complementary talks. The themed season looks at the way mathematicians are represented in different kinds of narrative: pure fiction, fictionalised real life and documentary. The pure fiction offering is The Oxford Murders, starring John Hurt and Elijah Wood, screened on April the 7th. The Hollywood retelling of the story of maths students taking on the Las Vegas casinos is the second film, 21. It stars Kevin Spacey and is screened on the 9th of April. The season concludes on the 16th of April with the documentary N is a number, a film portrait of Paul Erdös. This screening will be followed by an audience and panel discussion.
To complement the film theme, on the 14th of April Academy Award winner David Baraff of Pixar Animation Studios will be giving a talk on the role of mathematical modelling in computer animation, illustrated with clips and computer graphics. There will also be a screening of Pixar's Oscar winning tale of a French rat's ambition to be a chef, Ratatouille. David Baraff will give a special introduction to the film at Filmhouse Cinema earlier that afternoon.
And if you prefer live entertainment to film, you could head for Allen Knutson's presentation on the relationship between mathematics and juggling. By mathematically analysing the process of juggling, Knutson, of Cornell University, found it was possible to discover new tricks that may never have come to light otherwise. This promises to be a most entertaining event as Allen demonstrates the principles involved using his dazzling juggling skills. The event takes place early in the evening of 14 April.

Is it possible to hire more assistants for Bill Murphy so he could have time to write more, instead of a bi-weekly article about MMO communities? What is there to say about MMO communities, twice a week no less? IMO, have Mr. Murphy write more or get the Coyote back.

My first community experience in an mmo was in Nexus: Kingdom of the Winds. This was back in 1998 and overall everyone was pretty helpful and respectful towards each other. There were a few bad seeds but they had a system in game that would send players who broke the rules to court then to jail to serve out a term based on their crime.
Which made the few bad apples in the game actually pretty infamous, I can still remember the most popular criminal, his name was Slime. In this game you also had a "legend" which was a viewable chart of your accomplishments in game that everyone could inspect. Bad accomplishments like jail terms were marked in red, Slime's legend was as red as... well a very red object!
Then I jumped to EQ1 and the community there was about the exact same as Nexus just without the in game judicial system. For me I never really saw the shift from decent normal mmo community to the Hitler picture bad community until WoW launched. Even DAoC had a pretty tight knit community.
Once WoW hit the scene the flood gates opened and the scumdogs of the universe poored in.

Once you switch to F2P the community of your low level population is going to turn to crap. It is pretty much guaranteed. Over time it might not be as bad.

Gaming communities suffer now days because players enter with the intent to maximize their players level/complete the game as fast as possible and I think this has a lot to do with the linearity of the games now days.
Take for example a game like Ultima Online, as old as it is, it's a good example because there was no storyline or quest to linearize the game and to this day I still believe the community felt the best. With a quest line to follow, you instantly make the game so anyone not on the same stage as you serves you no purpose to interact with. You have a goal to find people on the same step so you can get to the next. Of course removing quests from a RPG makes little sense so it's up to the developers to think of ways of incorporating players in quests they have no real stake in.
Another thing that makes for a poor community is having a level system where the maximum level player can squish the lowest level like an insignificant bug. This is counter intuitive to creating a game in which you want to have as many players as possible interacting with each other. With a system like this you are not only dividing your players but you are also creating zones in your world, divided by levels, which become obsolete once the majority of the population progress to the next and in result making a wasteland of a community for new players to the game. Who wants to start playing a game and believe that no one else is playing the game because in reality no one goes to the starting zones because there is no reason to go back? Taking Ultima Online as example again, I can still remember to this day players of all skill levels interacting together as you could serve some purpose even if you weren't maxed out in melee or magery whether it be casting a low level spell to deactivate someone magic reflect or throwing some explosion potions.
Finally I think games need to do a better job of implementing interfaces for communication. Chat boxes are what they are and for me conversations often times go overlooked, but I could imagine a game with a text based application similar to a phone for notification and message sending. On receipt of a text you can hear a notification via sound or visual aid. In addition visual and audible notifications of events in the world could be clearer. Some games are better than others at this but for the most part I have played games where I'm often left in the dark on what's going on and the last thing to help build a in game community is giving your player a sense of loneliness.

I actually wish these "communities" were more friendly towards mmo gamers, anything to keep you glued to an electronic device in your homes for 4+ hours a day/night gives me a slightly less clogged road and/or sidewalk. And I don't have to look around mammoths at the pub to catch the eye of a good looking woman.
Please be more friendly to these people.

lol what the heck dude?
At any rate, I have found finding a good community in wow pretty easy, same with rift and same with swtor believe it or not.
GW2 could use some serious help in this dept.
I know I said irl friends, but it doesn't stop there, right now I have no irl friends in my main game (WoW) and the community I am involved in couldnt be much better. I attribute it to the various leaders and the passion players for both factions are playing with.

Well I'm not quite sure what exactly makes a good online community. I do know however I see little perecentage in discussing such a topic with a person who would use a regime known for its systematic murder of millions of innocents as a comedy exmaple of a bad one.

An inherently fluffy piece like this will in no way bridge this divide or even subtantially assist any group of MMO players in forming communities.

This was kind of an introduction. I think community is a term that gets tossed around and we judge rather quickly these days. Some might feel MMOs today are becoming single-player oriented and thus community isn't relevant. Some might claim it's more relevant for 'lacking'. There will be other topics down the line, so I did hope to get input as to what you guys might feel is missing in this particular discussion. I started in DAoC but still love playing today and I'll admit that, like many here, I have a sense of nostalgia that can affect my POV in modern MMOs.
As far as the images for this piece, I didn't select them.

You see it in the little things like travel times and down times. To people bitching about a boss drop should be for their character rather than ANYONE else. People want to be productive and anything that takes away from it is a negative.
I don't think it's a problem that a game can fix as it comes from outside.

Interesting that you started in DAOC, that title IMO had a perfect storm of game design elements that really fostered a strong community, more so than any title I played before or since.
For those who weren't there during it's heyday, they really have no concept of what it was all about, and of course, not everyone felt the same way as I did apparently.

What makes a good community?
And it isn't simply in game. In MMOs in particular "Communities" begin forming from the instant a game is announced.
The start (often) on developer forums and on fan forums - and it's the standards set there, right from the very beginning, that shape your community.
Dev Comments and Moderator actions create good or bad commmunities sometimes years before a game even gets to Beta.
Pirates of the Burning Sea by Flying lab Software:
I joined that community more than a year before the Beta and it was already pretty horrible. Fanbois were running amok and the phases "teh DEVs no best" and "STFU and go back to WOW" were common.
When the SOE deal was announced a Mod called Danicia appeared who was a complete idiot and was both played (and openly sided with) several Fanbois.
From then on the technique of "Fanboi Flame and Lock" was perfected buy the 'community' there. Any thread that dared to question any element of design would get a post from a Fanboi saying "this thread should be locked." which was then followed by Fanbois subtly flaming the OP until the OP would be goaded to respond... at which point the tread would be locked.
It was a technique that they attempted to bring to the mmorpg.com boards too - but failed here because the moderator staff (at that time) were better and didn't fall for it.
At the same time some of the Dev blogs were very short sighted and supported the general tone.
The end result was a Beta where actual problems with the game design were suppressed by "Fanboi Forum Ganking" and a community was created where this was an acceptable standard.
So when the game went live... guess what? The same standards prevailed in game becuse the community had come to believe this was acceptable.
The PotBS community moved on to another community with a bad reputation at the time... Darkfall... and again a lack of standards there certainly didn't help.
WAR at the time made a classic mistake of not having Dev forums (IIRC?) and allowing fans to create the comminity for them... another gankfest IIRC?
I also play a Browser based MMO at the moment where the Devs have lost interest and the game is pretty much run by a "Super-Moderator" who is openly biased in favour of a few friends... it is destroying the community and the game.
On the positive side a well run community with high standards can be a pleasure. WWIIoL community as an example.
There is a hardcore RvR game - but with very little 'hate' simply because that attitude was not accepted by the Developers, the moderators and hence the community. So you had an RvR game where players would have friendly discussions about what was good for the game with their 'enemies'.
You tend to find IMHO that standards filter down. If Devs accept (or create) rifts in the community, by siding with 'old timers' and friends, allowing double standards or favouring "premium" accounts for example. Allowing flaming, trolling, spamming (posting cat memes is a classic example) and outright internet bullying then the Mods will allow it... and the community will grow to accept it as normal behaviour.
Locking threads and banning users is not always the answer either. That doesn't really help shape anything.
Incidently, you find the same things in forum communities without games too (such as mmorpg.com forums). A dizzy modererator or two can really do some damage in the long term.

I do think your definition of a bad community is off. I've been PC gaming since Quake 1 was released and the best communities I've been apart of are the PvP oriented ones. Planetside 1, EQ1, DAoC, WAR, and Darkfall. Certainly it's a different civility in EQ1 than in Darkfall, but the community itself was more or less the same. There's respect for the incredibly good a-holes while also respect for the best crafter in PvP games.
For me, community comes straight down to the people and the game is mostly not important. I'd argue that Quake2 xCTF was the best community of any game I've ever played because of the people, and 15 years later I have more contact with those individuals than any game I've played. I also think that age plays a major factor in community, and for me this may be more of a personal opinion. The reason I dislike the WoW community because they tend to be younger(under 20) and very full of themselves. They all seem to think they're the best, meanwhile have no means to prove it. That's also why I believe the best years of WoW were pre-BC when it still contained the former players of DAoC, UO, EQ, etc. I think the same reason is why people feel the EVE community has turned for the worst, because the game is now flooded with the casual younger crowd. I think PvP games, or even 'Hard-core' games tend to attract a more mature crowd because they require more thought generally. With the mature crowd comes the community of intellect, IMO.
If this is going to be about specific games, then I'd probably put DAoC at the top. It's the only game that I've played throughout the years that created a community by design. It created factions that mattered and the people you played with were all you knew at the start. Later on with transfers and such it lost a bit of the community part of the game, but the communities stuck together because of the game design. You needed your allies, whereas most other games solo was a viable option and you could simply 'tag-a-long' to continue playing the game.
I think you should write an article on why recent games have failed so miserably to create these communities. A particular game has staying power only if the community behind it is strong.

A good topic for an article. Unfortunately the OP doesn't seem to understand the meaning of a community.
If he did, he would know it takes communication to make a community work. Positive communication that is. Games like Rift and GW2 promote teamwork yes, but they do not however promote communication. I played both games for extended periods of time and more times than not, players rush in to join in on the XP, but then vanish just as quickly as they arrived without a single word exchanged.
Early online gaming communities were not like this because devs did not cater to the type of gamer that demanded "instant reward" for less time spent to achieve it. As a result back then, gamers knew in order to accomplish achievements that required more time to accomplish, one had to use a certain ammount of social skill.
These days, since most games allow for little time spent to grant rewards, many gamers don't feel obligated to use little if any amount of social skills.

The only indication of any ingredients (on the box) is that it contains 100% Arabica Coffee. I guess to be on the safe side, I'd contact the manufacturer, Diedrich Coffee, Inc. at 1-800-354-JAVA or check it out on their website: coffeepeople (I'm not allowed to include links to other sites).

I just checked the box for the ingredients and all it says is 100% arabica coffee. You could call the company Coffee People directly at 1.800.354.5292 to ask them. My husband is a type 1 diabetic and we have been ordering this coffee for over 2 years. He never has mentioned anything about the coffee altering his sugar level. I know everyone is different. I applaud you for being vigilant with your diabetes care. Good Luck! Mar 15, 2013
Yes, that's what I do and it's just perfect for me. It's an extra bold k-cup so brewing it twice does not make it weak. If you like very strong coffee it might not work for you. Give it a try...I hope it's perfect for you. Mar 15, 2013
We store our K cups on an open shelf near our coffee maker and have never had a problem with them. We take no special precautions in storing them, but would advise to keep them out of direct sunlight and out of the flow of an air source such as an open window or an air vent. Apr 16, 2013

Proud member of the NRA,GOA and JPFO!!!
And now GOCRA in MN!!!!
there is another video that points out there were at least two other men apprehended the day of the shooting outside the school, in black hoodies, and videotaped by news helicopter being detained on the ground, then we hear nothing about them...
also im not by any means an expert investigator, but for that many rounds to be fired at once from all three guns by one mentally unstable person, the arms would have had to be fully auto... and he would have needed 3 hands...not only that but does anyone find it strange that the kids were all neatly herded into the closets to become easy targets? like fish in a barrel...they would not need to have an expert marksman shoot at them for them to be easy targets...spray and pray would have been exactly how it happened in such a short time frame(and from the official number of rounds tallied per body it looks like it is the way it happened)
so then, if full auto weapons were used, or it would have taken more than one killer to do the deed the way the details look, then why are they claiming it was one man using an assault rifle? if it was fully auto that is already an NFA restricted item! there doesnt need to be a new law...if it was more than one killer then there are already laws against that, "conspiracy to commit murder" comes to mind...
but oh yeah im forgetting, if it was a conspiracy to commit murder, then that would mean they have to disclose the details and then the whole can of worms would bust wide open, and they would not be able to blame either assault style weapons, or mental instability either, and there goes their whole reason for a new law...
so IMHO, there was more than one criminal involved, and for some reason they "cleared" the police record check, or were somehow untouchable...
it also stinks in another way, it conveniently happened right as the whole Petreus/Benghazi scandal was making huge news, and the oval office was coming under scrutiny...as well as Hillary...and those that either had knowledge of the funny business going on in Benghazi, or were eye witnesses... were being reprimanded, tried under UCMJ, killed, or mysteriously had a cold, stomach ache, broken ankle, and carple tunnel to get out of testifying...
when things like this happen it is for multiple reasons and you can bet there is something more than a lone killer behind it...things once again do not add up...

there are reports benghazi was staged, those folks were not suppose to get killed but resuced to make the king look good for re-election,
plus gov'ts can control weather numerous programs on this, then super hurricane on the northeast in late october before the election, where is the press these folks still need help the press is talking gun control not the king not helping the folk affected by Sandy?
got to make you think
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
common sense tells me something isnt right on this one, sorta like 911
I am by no means a conspiracy theorist, but I have seen enough cirumstancial evidence/information/pictures/etc.... to firmly believe that the major shootings Aurora Colorado, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, and the Sandy Hook incidents were all staged/perpetrated by the government. There is just too many things that don't add up. Verified "crisis actors", doctored photos in the media, girl photographed with Obama a couple days after supposedly being killed, United Way Facebook page to help the victims being created three days BEFORE the shooting, witnesses said there were three shooters, news footage of others being arrested yet nothing is ever said about them, no surveilance camera footage of any shooter, etc...... A few strange things will happen with any major crime, but these are just too many, and they all point to the Government and a false flag operation. Unfortunately I truly believe that. Two years ago I would have said someone was stupid for thinking something like that about the government, but now, not so much.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
well you have a very shady government here that has staged at lest one false flag operation where government boarder agents were killed, mexican citizens were killed and US citizens were killed in an attempt to frame the citizens as a source of guns in mexico--
then went into an elaborate cover up which was exposed and no one was indited even after all this?
and this is not a conspiracy theory either. it is pretty much known to be fact.
it is not too far fetched to think there may have been some government involvement with at least SOME of the recent mass shootings including the sandy hook disaster.
i often wonder WHY Obamma OPPOSES armed guards in schools?
maybe he wants to use this useful tool of "school shootings" again in the future?
it is ironic that he and the teachers oppose the only thing that will work.
that way the next staged shooting can be a pump-lever or wheel gun and go on uninterrupted ???
get us ready for the next big weapons ban--
There is a definatee problem here, I have been on duty when there have been victims of fatal shootings I have never seen a family member smiling and then go into tears and become distrught, and as for eveidence being removed from a veh. not yet blamed for the shooting, when the perp is found deceased inside the building. there is alot wrong with this whole sceniro not to mention the handcuffed individuals that were never mentioned on news reports..Doc

Origin: China
Leaf Type: Green Tea
Taste: Sweet and slightly smoky
Drink: Without Milk
Brew: Lightly, 2-3 minutes according to taste with water off the boil
When to drink: Afternoon
This tea takes its name from the particular treatment of the leaves. Rolled into tight pearls, they were mistaken for gunpowder by 16th century traders. Our blend's grey-green leaves unfurl peacefully to produce a golden tea revealing a smooth, sweet, slightly smoky flavour. A perfect tea for a quiet, contemplative pause.
Gunpowder Loose Tea Pouch
Item Code: 272518 / Net weight: 125g / 4.41oz
Free delivery over £40
In stock
Origin: China
100% Green Tea.
Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teaspoon (around 2g) per cup and use freshly drawn water which is heated to around 80 degrees. You can either pour the water before it reaches boiling point or allow the water to sit for a few minutes afterwards. Allow to brew for 2-3 minutes according to taste. Should be drunk without milk.
A delicious green tea. Having recently visited China and seen how green tea is served, I now "wake up" the leaves with a splash of hot water into the cup then throw that water away. I continue to infuse the same leaves throughout the day, just brewing to a light straw colour each time. Economical and convenient - and even more delicious!
I was buying this tea in shops but found it increasingly more difficult do find. In the meantime, I was trying different brands and varieties but nothing comes close to the mild, sweet taste of Whittard's Gunpowder - I now understand why people don't like green tea, all others are bitter and unpleaseant but not this one. I often find myself craving to drink this tea, it's that good. Highly recommended!
Only place you can get really good loose green tea. Other brands are bitter and the tea leaves themselves are like dust. Please don't stop producing this.
Deliciously subtle fragrance to this tea and is a completely superior product to tea in a tea-bag.
a really lovely green tea, and very economical in use, compared with tea bags.

The staff reflects the diversity of activities, interests, and majors available to students. It is this commitment made by a diversity of students which allows the program to remain relevant and useful to students.

text: Fyrinnae Aztec Gold Pressed Eyeshadow ($8.25 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a "deep metallic gold over a rich olive green base." It's a deep olive gold with a really rich, soft metallic finish. The texture of this was insane; it felt like a cream product, even though it is a pressed powder, but it truly felt so buttery and smooth that it felt exactly like a cream eyeshadow does. A little went a long way when applying this, too. I found it looked the same applied dry as it did dry over Pixie Epoxy (at most, slightly more of a sheen with Pixie Epoxy). It wore on bare lids without creasing or fading for nine hours (same results over Pixie Epoxy/Primer). Urban Decay Stargazer is lighter, more metallic. NARS Paramaribo #1 is darker, browner. Make Up For Ever #11 is yellower. Inglot #433 is browner. See comparison swatches.

The sale of a lot adjacent to the Aiken Golf Club course received first approval at the Aiken City Council meeting held Monday evening.
The 0.64 acre lot of wooded land is located at Valley Green Drive and Chafee Spring Road. Owner Jim McNair Jr. came to Council with the request due to some stipulations that were set decades ago when his father first purchased the Aiken Golf Course from the City in 1959.
City Council unanimously approved the sale of this lot of land for residential use on first reading on Monday.
An ordinance from the 1990s permitted up to four lots to be sold by the golf course owner for residential development. The ordinance was amended in 2005 to allow someone to build a home upon another parcel that was deeded to them, but construction was initially prohibited.
The land in question would technically be the sixth lot sold if approved, and McNair Jr. said that the funds from that sale would go toward the Aiken Golf Club house and golf cart storage improvements.
He added that the remainder of the golf club property will remain intact.
McNair Jr. said that he had presented the sale of that lot in 2005 but rescinded the request. He cited one reason was because an elderly resident nearby who has since passed away asked that noisy, disruptive construction didn't occur during her last years and McNair Jr. honored her request.
In a letter from McNair Jr. to City Manager Richard Pearce, he wrote that the clearing of the undergrowth on that lot he'd like to sell will also improve visibility and safety at the intersection of Chafee Spring Road as well as resolve some existing drainage issues.
According to Aiken Standard archives, the golf course formally known as the Highland Park Country Club, was established in 1907 by the Highland Park Development Corp.
In 1939, the development corporation deeded the golf course to the City of Aiken with the stipulation that the property remain a golf course for 20 years. At the end of those two decades, the City sold the property to James McNair Sr.

It started on Tuesday with the announcement in Variety that McFarlane Toys would be producing an exclusive line of action figures based on the characters of ABC Television's smash hit Lost. USA Today ran a paragraph and followed up the next day with a feature story and photograph of our "Charlie Pace" figure in their Life section. Even better -- their online poll posed the question, "Which 'Lost' action figure would you buy?" Thousands voted, and Mr. Eko -- originally far in the lead -- went nose-to-nose with Sawyer, with Kate nipping at their heels. Us Weekly and TV Guide have also expressed an interest in running the story.
In short, this is BIG news.
Lost Series 1 captures six fan-favorite characters from the series' first season: Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Charlie and Shannon. Each 6-inch Lost figure will have a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character's story. In addition, each package will include a detailed prop reproduction central to the character's story, enabling fans to "own" a piece of the show's mythology. For example, Kate's figure will be packaged with a reproduction of the toy airplane that plays so prominently into her backstory. But wait -- there's more. Each figure will also have sound-chip technology. At the push of a button, you'll be able to hear a sampling of each character's signature lines taken directly from the show's soundtrack.
We will also be releasing Lost deluxe boxed sets -- re-creating key moments between multiple characters, and small-scale dioramas -- replicating central locations such as the mysterious island and the infamous hatch.
The first series of Lost figures is scheduled to be released in November 2006.
We hope you're as excited as we are. More photos and information will be released as it becomes available. In the meantime, check out Charlie and vote in our online poll.

More than 50 years ago, the state of South Carolina was in crisis with talented people leaving, looking for alternatives to the state's dependence on agriculture and textiles.
Those concerns led to the establishment of post-secondary technical education, said Dr. Darrel Staat, president of the S.C. Technical College System, at an Aiken Rotary Club meeting Monday.
"Many people were leaving in droves, wanting more," he said. "In order to keep the people in the state, the leaders of South Carolina looked to attract industry."
The state and counties took key roles in major economic development, bringing in over the years such companies as General Electronic, Bridgestone, Continental and, more recently, Boeing.
"Our system was founded on accessibility," said Staat. "We're comprised of 16 community and technical colleges. They are strategically located, with every South Carolinian living within 30 minutes of the colleges or of 43 satellite campuses."
Aiken Technical College celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, ATC President Dr. Susan Winsor said during an address at the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce First Friday breakfast. During that period, ATC has brought 217,000 students to its campus.
Manufacturing is a rapidly-growing sector, said Winsor, such as Bridgestone's expansion in Graniteville.
"We offer a wide variety of technical areas, responding to workforce needs," she said.
Staat cited the productivity two statewide programs that enhance workforce development in working with all 16 campuses. ReadySC is administered through the state technical system and its Center for Accelerated Technology Training.
"It's a flagship program for our system, a top incentive," Staat said. "Eighty-five percent of new companies rank the availability of readySC as playing a significant role or determining factor in their decisions to relocate."
Apprenticeship Carolina, established in 2007, works to ensure all employers with the opportunity to train prospective employees.
Aiken Technical College's efforts in providing new opportunities in the nuclear field is giving students new opportunities and a critical supply of trained employees, Winsor said.
"Our radiation protection technology program is the only one in the U.S. that provides the Department of Energy and utilities with certified employees," she said. "Our graduates across the nation are working in facilities, and we're proud of that."
Aiken Standard file photo Joined by her 4-year-old sister Carli, Aiken Technical College freshman Kayla Burden fills out forms during an orientation session last August. In recent speeches, ATC President Dr. Susan Winsor and S.C. Technical College President Dr. Darrel Staat addressed the ongoing value of technical education.×

Reported theft leads to DUIJuly 19,2013POULTNEY — A Wells man who told police he took a park vehicle without permission at Lake St. Catherine State Park to escape an angry group of men was arrested by Vermont State Police who charged him with driving drunk.
Bryan Palfey, 48, wasn't charged with taking the park truck, which was reported stolen Wednesday night by a park manager, but he was issued a citation to appear in court next month to answer to a charge of DUI for allegedly driving the vehicle drunk.
Police were called to the park at 9:20 p.m. Wednesday for a report that a truck had been stolen. When they arrived, they found that the manager had recovered the vehicle and the man who took it.
Palfey told police that he took the truck because he feared harm from a group of men with whom he had previously argued.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

The annual school district report card released on Tuesday shows Aiken County students are improving overall, but more work needs to be done.
Overall, the Aiken County schools were rated Average once again, and improved its growth rating from Below Average to Good.
There were many success stories in the annual report from the S.C. Department of Education. Graduation rates are up, exit exam passage rates are up, end of course test scores are up for the most part.
One a disturbing note: On Palmetto Assessment of State Standards tests, local student scores lagged behind districts similar to Aiken County.
Its easy to look at these reports cards and make county-by-county comparisons. It tells an important story, but not the entire story. Each student is a unique individual with unique scores, abilities and desires. Each school is different. Education cant be a one-size-fits-all. Unfortunately, its the system we have, but rushing to judgment about a groups success or failure isnt always helpful.
The goal for school administrators is to dig into the information in these reports, find the successes and failures and use that to make improvements. They cant change the student makeup of a particular school, but they can dissect the data and learn from it.
Aiken County school officials have worked hard to make progress and it shows. Everyday we hear about innovative programs and success stories. Much of that is overshadowed by the negative news that comes out of these reports.
Overall, were proud of the work our students, teachers and administrators are doing. Yes, theres room for improvement and we trust that all school officials are working diligently to make each unique school better and each unique student more successful.
