Full detailed profile on Derek Frye Played by Charles Parnell on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Charles Parnell (Soaps.com)
Real Name: Charles Parnell
Kendall's in mid-confession in Greenlee's hospital room. "Greenlee didn't try to kidnap Spike. I lied to the police. I'm the one who was guilty," she tells Derek. Zach jumps in and tells Derek to arrest him instead of Kendall, saying Derek has the wrong suspect. Kendall won't let Zach confess and things get confusing. Derek wants to ask questions, but both Greenlee and Aidan try to get Derek to leave them alone to recover. Derek says he'll go back to the station but he expects someone to come in and "do the right thing." He leaves.
Out in the hospital hallway, Hannah overhears Derek telling his "men" that Kendall and Zach are trying to "stonewall" the police and that one way or another Kendall is going to go down for what she did.
With Derek gone from Greenlee's room, the gang argues about who is guilty of what. Kendall tells Greenlee that she has no idea all the ways she's betrayed her. Greenlee's curious: is there something else that Kendall's done? Kendall backs off and steps out to "get some air." Greenlee asks Aidan to get her a sandwich, leaving Greenlee and Zach alone. In steps Hannah. Zach gives Hannah her not-so-subtle walking papers, saying they'll "talk at the office." He and Greenlee are alone again, joking. Suddenly, Greenlee starts to feel ill, and passes out. Zach rushes for help.
We end with a musical montage, "Apologies," by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals:
Kendall tucks Zach into bed, whispering, "I love you…and I'm sorry I have to do this." Jack toasts Erica with a warm smile. Ryan sips champagne wrapped in Annie's arms inside tangled blankets. Their phone rings, but they let it go to the machine. It's Richie, saying, "I hope you get everything you wish for. I know I will." Krystal and Tad toast, then get down to finishing the business they started. Hannah, alone, pulls a scrapbook out from under the bed – it's filled with photos and news clippings about Zach. Aidan toasts Greenlee (water) and curls up in bed beside her.
Kendall approaches Derek at the police station. "It was my idea. All mine," she confesses. She's booked and her mug shot is taken. Looks like Kendall will ring in 2008 in the clink.
In Greenlee's room, Kendall won't listen to anything anyone says. Despite Zach's and Aidan's pleas, Kendall won't shut up. Derek enters the room just in time to hear Kendall say, "I'm the one who's guilty."
At the hospital Derek visits Zach, who is talking with Erica, and tells them both that JR is innocent of the charges. Zach doesn't believe him at first but when Derek brings up the DVD evidence Zach caves in. Derek asks what Zach remembers from the bomb shelter and Zach tells him about the man who found them and closed the opening. Derek leaves the hospital room and runs into Jack, who asks why guards are still posted at Greenlee's door! Derek walks away but Jack follows. Derek admits that he doesn't like having a guard on her any more than Jack does but that until the judge lifts the order that places Greens on the fugitive list he has no choice. Derek walks away. Erica tries to comfort Jack but he turns away from her.
In the hall Aidan asks Joe to kick the guards out of the hospital. Joe can't. Derek walks up and tells Aidan that they have no choice. Before Aidan can go off on Derek Joe takes him aside and tells him that Greenlee isn't out of the woods medically, either. Derek leaves for a second and Zach comes out of his room to check in with Aidan. He thanks Aidan for not giving up on the search. Jack exits Greenlee's room and Zach asks to go inside. Kendall walks up and Aidan walks away. Jack sticks close to Derek, demanding that he take the guards off of Greenlee's door. Derek refuses, saying it isn't his call.
On JR's yacht Amanda finally admits that she was with him the night of Zach's accident. She says she just wanted him to suffer for a while, the way she has been suffering because of him! Amanda rambles on about re-naming the yacht and stuns JR when she tells him that Adam gave the ship to her! JR finally puts two and two together and realizes that Adam knows something about Amanda's scheme. She tells him exactly what Adam gave her - $5 million and the yacht - and then says she was going to tell the cops everything as soon as Christmas was over. She brings up the DVD, which throws JR even more. Amanda tells JR about his DVD'd confession and swears she would have given it to the police. JR realizes that the DVD Adam asked him to put away must be the DVD Amanda made. She says she still has a copy. JR hands her his cell phone and demands that she call Derek right away. Derek arrives a while later and watches the DVD, which he says does clear JR. Then, Derek tells them that Zach is alive and well - and no longer missing! JR wants to go to the hospital to talk to Zach but Derek tells him that he has to return to the manse until the house-arrest is lifted. JR leaves. Derek tells Amanda she can do a lot better than JR and then asks her to stop by the station house to give her official statement. He leaves.
Richie can't believe that Babe called Ryan to come and get him. "Are you afraid of me?" he asks incredulously. Babe says she just wants him out of her life so she can focus on little A and JR. Richie tries to manipulate Babe but Ryan won't allow that. Derek and the cops walk in, surprising Ryan and Babe. Richie says he called the cops! He says he doesn't want Babe to be afraid of him and this was the only way he could show her he isn't a threat! The police cuff Richie and take him away; he wishes Babe a merry Christmas on his way out. When he is gone Ryan turns to Babe, telling her that he was shocked to see that Richie really does have feelings for her. "With everybody else, he just works angles," Ryan says. Babe isn't interested in Ryan's apologies and tells him so. Ryan tells her she should still stay away from Richie, though. She asks what he really wants and Ryan tells her that he just wants her to understand that Richie is conning all of them and he can't be saved. Ryan leaves.

Tiger Woods' drama seems to get nastier by the minute. The latest today is- not a new mistress – but a possible drug scandal. Canadian doctor Anthony Galea is currently under investigation in the United States by the FBI for handing out performance enhancing drugs to hundreds of athletes, including cheating Tiger!
Tiger was treated by Dr. Galea in February of this year after he was experiencing a slow recovery from knee surgery. He reportedly flew four times to see Tiger in Orlando, FL. Dr. Galea is also being investigated by Canadian authorities for smuggling, advertising, and selling unapproved drugs as well as criminal conspiracy.
When Tiger's rep was contacted regarding the story, he shadily responded, "I would really ask that you guys don't write this? If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won't be, let's please give the kid a break." [Source: NY Times; Photo: Getty Images]

Patient Safety
Your safety is our top priority. We are committed to ensuring you receive the safest care possible and have put in place numerous measures to ensure your protection. We invite you and your family to be active participants in your care and a partner with your caregivers.
Sharp HealthCare is constantly evaluating and implementing ways to improve patient safety. Please speak up when you have questions or concerns.
Ways We Keep Our Patients Safe
- Accurate Patient Identification
- Electronic Health Record
- Preventing Infections
- Safe Medication Practices
Accurate Patient Identification
Patient safety begins with ensuring we provide the right care to the right patient every time. It starts with the registration process. When you check in at a Sharp facility and throughout your stay, we will confirm your identity by asking you a series of questions — such as your date of birth, the reason you are being treated and other identifiers. We know this can be annoying, but we have implemented this process to protect you and to ensure we are giving you the treatment that you need. We want you to feel comfortable asking questions. Please speak up if someone does not confirm your identity before giving you your medication or starting any treatment.
Electronic Health Record
Your electronic health record is an important part of your care at Sharp. It protects your safety by providing:
- Access to complete patient records, as well as home and hospital medication lists, so all of your caregivers can easily see your records
- Real-time test results so your caregivers can immediately respond
- Electronically generated prescriptions with automatic drug interaction checks
- Interactions between medications
- Easy-to-read notes so no caregiver has to decipher another's handwriting
- Timely safety information
Preventing Infections
Keeping our patients free from infections is one of our highest priorities. At Sharp HealthCare, we follow national best practices for sterilization, medication administration and staff training to prevent infections.
The No. 1 way to prevent infection is to wash your hands. We invite you to partner with us to prevent infection by:
- Washing your hands often — after using the bathroom, and before and after eating or handling food
- Asking your visitors to wash their hands when they enter your hospital room
- Asking your caregivers to wash their hands if they did not do so upon entering the room
Safe Medication Practices
Medication safety is key for all health care organizations, including Sharp HealthCare. We encourage you to be an active participant in your own health care. When you come to the hospital, bring a complete list of all your current medications — including all prescribed medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins and supplements. You do not need to bring your prescribed medications with you, as they will be provided during your stay. However, if any medication is likely to cause a negative reaction, you may not receive it while in care. If you aren't receiving medications you usually take, be sure to speak up and ask why.

Summer Celebration keynote speakers call for ...
Summer Celebration keynote speakers Rick Atchley and Shon Smith called audience members to examine their sin and recommit to God at Tuesday morning's gathering in Allen Arena.
The messages, based on Joshua 7-8, were just two of the ten keynote messages Summer Celebration attendees heard over the course of the event.
Rick Atchley (to the right), minister at Hills Church of Christ in North Richland, Texas, related Joshua 7 to the problem of sin within the church and how the sins of the individual affect the group as a whole.
"Would we please stop ranting about what's wrong in Hollywood and what's wrong in Washington,"Atchley asked. "It's not a shock to heaven when sinners sin. Let's stop criticizing the sins of others and start dealing with our own."
Atchley's message spoke poignantly to Samantha Davis of Americus, Georgia.
An active member of her church community, Davis said her biggest takeaway was that "sometimes, we tend to forget that we have to fix ourselves before we can reach out to others."
Shon Smith, the minister at Naperville Church of Christ in Naperville, Illinois, focused his message on the temptation to live apart from God and the need for Christians to recommit to living godly lives.
"There is a nasty tendency for us to drift," Smith said. "Any amount of drift, however slight, if it goes on long enough, eventually you find yourself miles away from the person you desired and committed yourself to be."
Smith compared the Israelites' need to redefine themselves as God's people in Joshua 8 to Christians' need to recommit to God to avoid drifting.
"The message of the hour could not be missed – either we as a people will walk with God and enjoy His blessings or we will choose to go it alone," Smith said. "It was Israel's choice. It's our choice. It's a choice that needs to be made right here, right now."
Perry Knight of Old Hickory, Tennessee, found the most memorable point of both speakers was the simple statement: you will reap what you sow.

Los Lunas man dies after interstate crash
An elderly Los Lunas man involved in a crash on Interstate 25 Wednesday morning has died as a result of his injuries. Boleslo Romero, 97, died at an Albuquerque hospital just a few hours after his vehicle was clipped by another driver.
Both vehicles were southbound when Davida Myers, 50, of Albuquerque, clipped Romero's red Ford Ranger from the back. She was in the left lane driving a silver Buick sedan and he was in the right. Romero's vehicle flipped several times, coming to rest on the west side of the highway. Myers' car stopped in the center of the road, closing the interstate for several hours after the 8 a.m. incident.
Belen Police Chief Dan Robb said the crash is still under investigation with the assistance of New Mexico State Police.
"It's hard to say about charges until the investigation is completed," Robb said.
A two-vehicle crash that may have been caused by a distracted driver shut down southbound Interstate 25 for several hours Wednesday morning and critically injured an elderly man.
Belen Police Chief Dan Robb said an Albuquerque woman, about 50 years old, was southbound in the left lane driving a silver four-door Buick. She clipped a red Ford Ranger in the right lane in the rear of the vehicle, causing the truck to flip several times, Robb said.
The driver of the pickup, a 97-year-old Los Lunas man, was critically injured. He was taken to an Albuquerque hospital by helicopter. The chief said the female driver was also transported to a hospital by ambulance.
"Alcohol was not a factor and speed was not a factor," Robb said. "I would describe her as a distracted driver."
Robb said the crash happened just before 8 a.m. near the 198 mile marker.
The Buick stopped in the middle of the interstate, while the truck came to rest on its wheels on the west side of the road. Robb said the interstate was closed at the Los Lunas exit and southbound traffic was diverted east to Main Street.
The interstate was still closed as of 10 a.m., when the News-Bulletin spoke with Robb about the accident. He said it would remain closed until the investigation of the scene was completed.

No exam re-grades after GCSE marking 'scandal'
Posted: September 04, 2012|
EXAM regulator Ofqual has refused to remark GCSE grades this summer, despite mounting pressure from teachers and their unions.
A number of Mid Devon students claimed to be left with lower marks than expected after boards controversially altered benchmarks.
They were changed in such a way that many pupils who would have achieved a C grade in January would have scored a D for exactly the same work six months later, claims Andy Woolley, the South West's Regional Secretary for the National Union of Teachers.
Head teachers across the district expressed their intention to launch appeals on behalf of their pupils including Andrew Lovett, from Tiverton High School, where grades in English were two per cent down on those achieved last year.
Related content
Queen Elizabeth's Academy in Crediton is among 28 Devon schools to sign a letter of protest over the changes.
The letter reads: "We believe this move by a number of exam boards to move the mark boundaries artificially by the end of the year to be perverse, unfair and to make a complete farce of the marking and assessment process."
Michael Johnson, executive head teacher of the Chulmleigh Academy Trust, said he was left "bemused" by results.
"Our students have achieved grades below those we would have predicted in previous years," he said.
"This has had a serious impact upon many individual results. While we are in favour of putting more rigour into the system, it cannot be right that many schools see such a big decline in English grades.
"Our students are as bright as the year before, our English teachers are the same and have managed to get outstanding grades consistently for the last few years.
"I hope the further education colleges will take this situation into account when admitting our students. A sudden policy shift should never adversely affect the chances of our students."
Many other schools in Devon saw dramatic declines in results for English this year, in some cases up to 10 per cent.
Mr Woolley said: "The only way of putting right the injustice faced by students, teachers and schools is that this summer's exams should be re-graded, not re-marked using the same criteria applied in assessing the work of January's entrants."
Teaching unions are angered that many pupils now face the prospect of re-sitting exams rather than having their papers automatically re-graded.
After carrying out a review into the issues first raised last week, Ofqual chief executive Glenys Stacey said on Friday that it had found that the June boundaries had been properly set and the problem rested with the January standards.
However she said the papers had been fairly marked, and pupils could re-sit the exams early.
Ms Stacey said examiners had used their best judgement in setting grade boundaries at all times, but those marking in January – when just seven per cent of candidates had sat the unit causing concern – had had less data and information to work with.

The State Bureau of Investigation has submitted its completed investigation of the Mark Houck shooting to the Wilkes County District Attorney's Office the N.C. Attorney General's Office announced Tuesday.
Houck's autopsy report was submitted to the DA by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine's Department of Pathology last month, according to Susan Shell of the DA's office.
Walter Mark Houck, the Laurel Springs man killed in an alleged armed confrontation with local law enforcement in November 2012, died of "multiple gunshot wounds of the chest, abdomen and extremities," according to the autopsy.
The autopsy found Houck had a blood alcohol content of 0.2 percent at time of death.
Shell said additional testing is needed to determine Houck's condition at the time of the shooting before the DA determines what, if any, charges may be filed against the officers involved in the shooting.
"They didn't do a toxicology screen for drugs," Shell said, explaining that drug screening is not required in autopsies where the cause of death is obvious.
The DA has requested a drug screening from the Medical Examiner's Office in Chapel Hill, she said.
"We are waiting. Hopefully, it won't be too much longer," she said.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Nov. 19, 2012, Three Ashe County Sheriff's deputies and one West Jefferson Police officer responding to a shots fired call on Gaither Poe Road found Houck at the scene armed with a high-powered rifle, according to an ACSO press release.
The officers identified themselves and ordered Houck to drop the rifle, according to the press release. Houck then allegedly pointed the rifle at the officers, who opened fire and killed him.
Houck, 47, was shot nine times, according to the autopsy.
At 0.2 percent blood alcohol content, Houck could have experienced significant impairment of judgment, speech, attention, reaction time and balance, according to the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Houck was found to have "moderate steatohepatitis" — known as fatty liver disease — and cirrhosis of the liver, both symptoms of chronic alcoholism.
He also suffered from retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease causing severe vision impairment and blindness, according to the autopsy.
Following the shooting, the officers were placed on paid administrative leave for approximately one month while the SBI completed its investigation of the shooting, according to Sheriff James Williams.
All officers involved are now back on active duty.

Something that puzzles me is why programmer do not copy each other more often.
Implement features that are known to be loved in other programs, on your own. Why not?
For example:
1- Live search. That is, you get hits as you type, with context. A good example is cintanotes. When I see other programs implementing search as if it was 1990, I cringe. There's no reason inferior search results display is inflicted on us by mostly all other programs.
2- highlight all matches in search. All browsers do this well. Many text editors (!) don't. Not even word did it before word 2010
3- Have redefinable shortcuts. For all your functions. Very few programs do this consistently.
4- breadcrumbs in file managers. Still some don't have it.
5- rapid entry of tasks, by parsing some simple natural language instead of having to go through a long form. Example: google calendar, MLO rapid task entry
6- Smooth scroll. This is a big one. Really. Get out of browserland, and all other tools scroll like they were running in BASIC on a ZX spectrum. Even text editors. We have incredible GPUs, but your text must jump around the screen. Macs are superior here, scroll is smooth by default in all apps in cocoa.
In this day an age, I do not understand why good ideas do not spread faster. It's not that there are copyright issues. In case of breadcrumbs and XYplorer, DonL said he was too proud to copy this feature. While it may sound noble, is this justifiable? ignoring clearly superior design in the name of... what? honor? lazyness? innovation -my sucky feature may be better if I tweak it long enough-?

A Summerville man is serving probation after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography in Berkeley County, authorities said.
Keith Spindler, 40, of Tram Court pleaded guilty to Circuit Judge Roger Young in Berkeley County of one count of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, according to J. Mark Powell, spokesman for the S.C. Attorney General's Office.
Spindler's ex-girlfriend discovered child pornography on their home computer in July 2009 and turned it in to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, Powell said.
Spindler received a three-year suspended sentence and two years probation, Powell said,
Spindler consented to the forfeiture of his computer and he will be required to register as a sex offender, Powell said.
The state sex offender registry shows that Spindler is now staying in Rochester, N.Y.

Bethlehem, Pa., September 12, 2006— Joseph Shosh, assistant professor of education, and director of the Moravian College M.Ed. Program in Curriculum and Instruction, and Jennifer Wescoe, Freedom High School Teacher of English, were named recipients of the 2006 James Moffett Award for Classroom Research by the National Council of Teachers of English and the National Writing Project.
The collaborative research project, "In the Shadow of the Blast Furnace: Constructing the Digital History of Early 21st Century Bethlehem," partners tenth grade students at Freedom High School with Moravian College English majors to produce digital living history documentaries. Moffet Award committee chair Michael Moore commented that "As a Committee, we appreciate the community interaction aspect of Dr. Shosh and Ms. Wescoe's work and we appreciate that students' voices are important in both the classroom and community. We especially like the digital living history documentaries and the connection to the work of James Moffett."
The NCTE and NWP initiated the Moffet Award in 2000 to honor the career of Harvard University English education professor James Moffet, the author of such seminal works as Teaching the Universe of Discourse and The Universal Schoolhouse.
To explain the project and its connection to Moffet, Shosh noted "Rather than delivering the sanctioned English curriculum with its discrete bits of vocabulary, grammar, and five paragraph essays—what James Moffett would undoubtedly call the 'particle' approach—we envision our English classroom as a writing workshop and studio where we mentor one another in the production of digital documentaries to tell our own life stories to an outside audience. Of course, we do a lot of authentic writing along the way—story boards, memos, critiques." Wescoe adds, "Our students, many of whom live quite literally in the shadow of the blast furnace, must master new technologies to compete in the international marketplace. Fortunately, many are bilingual and most are digital natives—great advantages."
As recipients of the 2006 Moffet Award, Shosh and Wescoe will address the National Conference of English Education at the 96th annual National Council of Teachers of English convention in Nashville, Tennessee on November 17, 2006.
Shosh graduated summa cum laude from Moravian College, and earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from New York University. His professional interests (are curriculum negotiation, transactional approaches to teaching and learning, and teacher action research. Shosh's research on teaching Shakespeare recently appeared in English Journal. Prior to joining Moravian's education faculty full-time, Shosh taught both middle school and high school English, supervised English student teachers in New York City, and served as an ethnographer on a research team for the New York Network for School Renewal.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.moravian.edu

Kudos to the readers for voting SEOmoz best seo blog of the year. Along with SEO Book, also in the top 5, it's probably the blog that has taught me the most over the past year and it's certainly worthy of the award. Readers were asked to rate each blog on a scale of 1-5 and the numbers following each are the average rating.
- SEOmoz (3.66)
- SERoundtable (3.45)
- SEO Book (3.44)
- Matt Cutts Blog (3.42)
- Stuntdubl (3.28)
The only surprising thing here is that given averages in the 3's some people were voting these blogs lower. I suspect low votes were from those who wanted a different blog to win. It's hard to find fault with any and you'll notice that outside of Todd Mailcoat replacing Danny Sullivan on the list the two lists are the same. I suspect had Danny's blog been online for most of the year the lists might have been the same.
You can find the rest of the list at Best SEO Blog of 2006 and again the names will be both familiar and worth reading.
If you look back at the original vote post you'll notice several other categories of awards so I assume we'll be seeing a few more award posts from Search Engine Journal over the next few days. Even if not have a look at all the nominees since all make for a good read.
It should also be noted that Search Engine Journal itself is a great blog though for obvious reasons was ineligible for these awards.
Outside of friend's sites like Improve The Web and Pro-SEO I think the nominees do a good job of covering my current reading list. Though technically not a search blog I would like to have seen CopyBlogger make the list since in addition to offering posts about writing better there are a lot of seo tips inside. Besides improving your writing is only going to help your optimization efforts.
So what are some your favorite search blogs that didn't make the list?

AT&T rolling out LTE this summer, laying the ground work for a 4G iPhone
AT&T has stated they'll be deploying LTE across 5 cities this summer, paving the way for a 4G LTE iPhone which is expected to come in 2012.
AT&T Inc. said it plans to launch its super-fast wireless network in five cities this summer as it looks to catch up to Sprint Nextel Corp. and Verizon Wireless. The company earlier this year said it would speed up its deployment of the network, underscoring the importance of keeping pace in the wireless speed game.
AT&T LTE rollout will initially kick off in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio -- a modest deployment compared to Verizon, but at least it's a start. We already know Apple won't be hopping onto the LTE bandwagon until everything is ready, but this is a good sign that the wheels are now in motion.
AT&T recently tested their 4G network seeing speeds of around 28Mbps down and 10Mbps up, which should be a force to be reckoned with once coverage is adequate across the US.
So when it comes time for a 4G iPhone 6, who will you go with, AT AT&T 4G iPhone?

AT&T rolling out LTE this summer, laying the ground work for a 4G iPhone
What, no poll?
Geez, I'd say it's early to start thinking about it, but to be honest, when I finally got my first iPhone (2/7/2011 from Verizon), I did so knowing (well believing) that the iPhone 5 would not be LTE, and that I'd be getting an iPhone 6 with LTE, on Verizon. We are in the June 16 rollout area for LTE, so it should be up and running for a bit before the iPhone hits it.
ATT, have zero problems, no need to switch.
AT&T for me. Been with them since it was Cingular, no major issues. Left T-Mobile for them, ironically.
Ive been with AT&T since before Cingular It was Bell-South Mobility then briefly AT&T then Cingular now, AT&T. I have unlimited Data and I'm sticking with it :)
Verizon has been good to me hands down..and they were the only ones who gave me service without out a deposit! Great! Sticking with Verizon.
I Travel from dallas to Louisiana all over east Texas. I have Verizon for work and AT&T for personal. I haven't seen much of a difference between the two. There are dead zones all over the place. We definitely need better cell and 3G coverage. I won't hold my breath for 4G.
Isn't the rumored iPhone 5/4s supposed to be HSPA+ capable anyway? It could still be marketed as being a 4G device.
I love making my friends watch this video its so funny to see there faces.

Top 10 stories of 2012: No. 4
In 2012, Tracey Cline was removed from her position as the district attorney of Durham County after she became so upset about a judge's rulings that she wrote long, fervid motions to have him removed from hearing her cases.
The motions backfired, and instead of the judge being removed from hearing her cases, Cline was removed from office during an unusual proceeding in early 2012.
In November 2011, Cline wrote motions about several cases she had prosecuted. She had come to believe based on decisions and actions of Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson that he held personal animosity against her, and she wrote in the motions that Hudson engaged in misconduct, dishonesty and corruption, among other things, and therefore, he should not hear her cases.
In a separate matter in the fall of 2011, she apparently made false statements to a Superior Court judge in order to obtain prison visitation records of two inmates, saying she needed them because they had filed certain motions in their cases, when they had not. Cline apparently wanted those records for personal reasons because of a series of scathing newspaper articles that had been printed about her, and the inmates had been featured in those articles.
On Jan. 13, 2012, Durham attorney Kerry Sutton, using a little-used state statute, filed an affidavit with the Durham County Court asking for an inquiry to determine whether Cline should be removed from office, saying Cline's behavior was prejudicial to the administration of justice and had brought the office of the district attorney into disrepute.
On Jan. 27, Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood found probable cause to move forward with the inquiry, and on Feb. 20, a hearing was held in a Durham County Courtroom as media and court-watchers crowded into the small courtroom.
Hobgood listened to the evidence, which included some of the passages Cline wrote about Hudson in her filings, Cline's explanation as to why she wrote the motions, as well as a number of witnesses who testified for and against Cline.
On March 2, Hobgood opened court again and read a long order in which he presented a review of the evidence from the hearing and his final conclusion that Cline should be removed from office immediately. Cline quickly filed notice that she would appeal the decision.
On Aug. 12, Cline filed a record of appeal, and has since filed her arguments that the trial court committed procedural error, violated her right to due process and violated her First Amendment rights to free speech. She also argued that the law used to remove her from office was unconstitutionally vague.
The Court of Appeals has not yet held a hearing on Cline's appeal.
The N.C. State Bar, which regulates the practice of law in North Carolina, also filed a complaint against her, which could result in Cline being disciplined for her actions. The discipline could range from a warning letter all the way up to losing her license to practice law.
That complaint is on hold until after the N.C. Court of Appeals makes its ruling on her appeal.

Complete video security and surveillance solutions
With over 35 years of experience, Optelecom-NKF offers global solutions for the video security and surveillance markets. At ISC West 2011, Optelecom-NKF will show how its IP video systems provide complete, proven, and customised solutions for diverse video security and surveillance applications.
To show how straightforward a complete TKH security system can be, Optelecom-NKF will demonstrate a total solution at its booth (Booth 3086). Siqura cameras and codecs will be configured to the high-tech intelligent IP video management system (VMS) from TKH Group member, VDG. Siqura IP and analogue fixed and PTZ cameras as well as Siqura codecs use dedicated DSPs to implement analytics locally on unprocessed images. This ensures the best results from analysis software while streamlining bandwidth consumption. VDG's VMS specialises in facilitating the control of and access to devices that compress and process information at the edge of the network.
"At Optelecom-NKF, we create innovative and reliable video security and surveillance solutions according to our customers' diverse needs," explains Steven J. Williams, Optelecom-NKF's Director of Critical Infrastructure in the Americas. "Our vast technology offering enables us to provide complete and customisable integrated video solutions. We work closely with customers to design and deploy the optimal system for their unique current and future needs. This is something that really sets us apart. We are eager to show attendees at ISC West 2011 just how flexible we are and how hassle-free life can be when you're working with Siqura surveillance solutions and TKH security solutions."
The first direct to fibre IP PTZ camera
Due to the ubiquitous nature and the advantages of fibre optic networks, as well as the current migration from analogue to IP streaming, Optelecom-NKF is now offering its Siqura IP PTZ dome cameras with a fibre optic connector option. This feature simplifies both the setup and maintenance of camera installations where a fibre network is utilised to overcome long distance limitations.
Pressurised PTZ dome for extreme conditions
Optelecom-NKF is currently developing pressurised IP and analogue PTZ dome cameras to offer a robust solution for the most taxing situations. It is capable of withstanding intense levels of solar heat (945VA UV protection) and providing high-quality video in environments with extreme levels of moisture, dirt, or pollution (IP67 Ingress Protection). This pressurised dome camera will be commercially available in the spring of 2011.
The Siqura fixed and PTZ analogue and IP cameras will soon be available with ATEX certified explosion-proof housing covers. These housings are essential for the chemical and petro-chemical industries.
High-definition, ONVIF-compliant cameras
Optelecom-NKF will also show its high-definition, ONVIF-compliant camera line, a collection of six cameras in providing HD (720p) and Full HD (1080p) resolution images in H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG.
Video content analysis for system and surveillance
Optelecom-NKF will put its Camera Health Check video content analysis (VCA) application on display. This program is integrated into the Siqura S-64 E video server and checks the status or well-being of the attached cameras by monitoring the cameras' position and image quality. When something is amiss, the application triggers an alarm to promptly alert operators, thereby guaranteeing quality video material while at the same time reducing unnecessary maintenance costs.
Largest selection of fibre optic solutions
The Optelecom fibre line is one of the largest assortments of fibre optic equipment in the world. Since Optelecom-NKF is determined to ensure optimal performance whenever and wherever it's needed, all of the Optelecom fibre products are field-hardened to withstand the harshest conditions and most extreme temperatures. Optelecom fibre products also support fibre to IP transitions, making it easy to use them in hybrid networks.
Visit us at ISC West (Booth 3086)
While this array of examples demonstrates Optelecom-NKF's ability to fulfill the needs both of its customers as well as the industry, it also shows how Siqura solutions are essentially dynamic and can be tailored to any video networking need. Consequently, the Optelecom-NKF booth (Booth 3086) may prove to be the best place for an open and lively conversation about how best to customise a video surveillance network for a specific situation.

At the end of yet another «historic» marathon session Brussels negotiations between the Greek government and its creditors, a «definitive» agreement has yet again been found to «resolve" the Greek crisis: Greek Prime Minister Tsipras and his team have come to accept as a condition for new loans to the virtually bankrupt Greek government, a plan of austerity measures significantly harsher than he had rejected a week earlier and against which he had, supposedly, held a referendum! The only point where he apparently got something concrete, is that of the reduction in military spending: the creditors have accepted that it is weaker than what they asked for... read full story / add a comment

Global Research article on last March's appointment of Roger Carr,Chairman of Europes largest arms firm BAE Systems, as Vice Chairman of the BBC Trust.
Last March the Chairman of Europes largest arms firm BAE Systems, Roger Carr, was appointed Vice Chairman of the BBC Trust. Will Carrs close ties to the arms industry get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers as its mission statement promises?

The BBC exists to serve the public, and its mission is to inform, educate and entertain. The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC, and we make sure the BBC delivers that mission.

We are reproducing this very important article by Brandon Turbeville from Activist Post in light of the constant stream of propaganda about terrorism and the recent attacks in which unfortunately three Irish people were killed including others who are just as important, in order to show that there is a direct link to US government foreign policy. In turn this foreign policy serves the corporate state which are the same forces pushing things like TTIP and neo liberal policies, austerity, social deprivation, worse working conditions, destruction of the environment and of course the creeping totalitarian state.
When researchers such as myself have reported that the United States is funding al-Qaeda, Nusra, ISIS and other related terror organizations in Syria, we were not kidding. Still, despite the fact that even the U.S. government itself has admitted that it was funding terrorists– directly and indirectly through Saudi Arabia, the suggestion was met with disbelief, ridicule, or either entirely ignored.
Now, however, the United States government has admitted that it funds terrorists on the ground in Syria yet again, this time placing an individual dollar amount on the assistance provided.

Trade Adjustment Assistance, a program to assist US workers who lose their jobs because of trade agreements, failed by a vote of 302-126. This worker assistance is part of the Trade Act of 2015 which would give President Obama Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to move international trade agreements through Congress without amendment. Congress must pass trade assistance within two remaining legislative days in order for TPA or "fast track" to be sent to President Obama's desk. read full story / add a comment

Hey guys do you think the 2 side guy lines...
Hey guys do you think the 2 side guy lines should be tied to the two bottom loops on each side or the two loops on the front corners? I've seen both scenarios in the pictures
Ian Pickard
Its up to you as a personal prefrence. The bottom loops on each side are going to give you more ventilation but I think the two loops on the front corners will help in strong winds. In a storm it would be good to have extra guy lines and tie down every loop available.
I definitely agree!

The one year return you mentioned is WRONG. Stock closed at 40.21 at 12/31/2012 and is now at 37.50. Plus you have received about 2.15 in dividends in 2013.

How Do You Know When You Are Ready?
Lights! Camera! Action!
Last night, I went to "AJ and Friends Small Business Night Out." I made promotional necklaces to be passed out on behalf of my client, the DJ of the event, DJ SoundQuest. I attended the networking event to distribute these necklaces and promote my own business; I did so not knowing what to expect.
The Best Products are the Ones That Happen by Accident
The night began with me fumbling because I was running late. As I struggled to untangle my necklaces and hang them up next to the DJ, I considered for one moment the possibility that I'd be ridiculed for creating a promotional necklace out of a cassette tape. After giving one necklace out to a seasoned DJ interested in obtaining the contact info for my client, I discreetly walked away so no one would make a connection between me and the necklaces I made.
WHEN IN DOUBTAnd so the night began. Although I received a compliment on the necklace I wore around my neck from a friend, I questioned whether people I didn't know would be as receptive. For a moment, I was in doubt. I was prepared with a finished product but dazed and confused about what I should say about it.
THE TURNING POINTThe second compliment I received on my necklace was from a vendor, one I consider articulate, unbiased, and rather compelling. Our conversation changed my perspective on marketing and promoting my services. After engaging in a conversation with this particular business owner about her brand, she noticed and complemented me on my necklace. Her feedback on my necklace gave me the confidence to share the connection between the necklaces I made and the services I offer without reservation! The necklace became a conversation starter which began to flow as effortlessly as the concept of the necklace.
TRIAL BY ERRORAs I walked through the crowd, handing out the promotional necklaces, I kept being asked "how much do they cost?" I responded with a stunned expression. I could have kicked myself! Transparently, I turned to one of the greeters and said, "Wait a minute…you would buy this?" The answer was an unequivocal yes! She responded, "Yes, it's different and cool!" One insightful person told me, "People are ready and willing to support because they are in the state of mind supporting other entrepreneurs."
IT'S JUST A SAMPLEAs a non-vendor, I had several advantages. Moving throughout the crowd allowed me to find out what people were really thinking. Plus, I was able to actively test the marketability of my product within a diverse sample. I learned that people liked my product because it was nostalgic and reminiscent of a bygone era. After all, the cassette tape is an artifact and will probably be in the almanac in a couple of years. My 80's babies and old school lovers lived for the cassette! One guest even told me, "Your necklace is just so fun!"
The next morning, I initially felt disappointed. I harped on the fact I did not bring my business cards to the networking event. I had no guarantee that the people with whom I connected with the night before would connect with me or even remember my name.
However, through this trial and error process, I also realized I was selling myself short. I was already an entrepreneur, ready to make my living.
After all, like my friend Ashley Brown Dudley, owner of Lady Ashley Designs shared with me after I told her this story,
"One step forward and three steps back is just a dance."
FIVE RULES OF SUCCESSFUL MARKETING and BRANDING I learned from attending "AJ and Friends Small Business Night Out"
|Photos By Ty Waterman
· Ask people what they think and really listen to their answer. Feedback will tell you how your brand is received and the feelings your product evokes. Listening to your potential consumers will also make them feel included in your journey and your brand. When people do make purchases they will feel an emotional connection to a brand.
· Be interested in other people's brands. Hearing about other people's brands will give you access to the similarities and differences between their products and yours. Engaging with others will give you insight on how to market your own brand.
· Wear your confidence. When you believe in your product others will too. Wearing my product (well) and taking me seriously made others take notice. Wearing my product also made what I do tangible, fluid, and credible for potential consumers. Although I initially had concerns about how people would receive it, I faked it until I made it! Wearing the product actually started the conversation.
· Pay it forward. Take risks! Do not overanalyze or put yourself down. Be willing to be with people and the next steps of your business plan will unfold as long as you are willing to put yourself out there and learn from your experience. Had I not had the courage to put myself and my product out there, I would not have had this epiphany and the opportunity to embody my brand.

By now, everyone has caught a glimpse of the upsetting, cell phone video of 68-year-old Greece, NY, School District bus monitor Karen Klein being tormented by four, foul mouthed middle-schoolers. It's hard to watch, and yet so far more than 1.6 million people have.
Beyond disgust, it's hard to know what to feel about the event documented in the video. Mommy Blogger Jacqueline Burt calls this "Lord of the Flies-level 'bullying,'" and I think that's an apt reference. Klein, herself, says that the kids never gave her trouble individually—only as a pack. Her composure, her lack of reaction to the cruelty of their words, is both heroic and pathetic. Heroic because she maintained her adult role and responsibilities under relentless provocation, but pathetic because, her caution was also influenced by poverty and fear. " I probably would have been fired," she told Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends, if she had responded in any kind of physical way, and she couldn't afford that.
So, watching the video becomes a kind of exercise in empathy—but for one thing. Although we feel Klein's pain and we squirm, wanting her to react and put the kids in their place somehow, we are also watching a video taken by one of the bullies himself. Here is where our emotional wires get crossed. The boy with the cell phone must have intended the video as a document of humiliation.
And, it is also important to realize that of the 1,656,318 people who have watched the video on YouTube, 13,712 have disliked it, but 1,015 have liked it. Given that some viewers may have confused the YouTube "like/dislike" with the monolithic Facebook "like," and really meant to say that they "like" the fact that this video was presented as a stand against hate—some viewers are "like" the kid who shot the video and actually find it funny. The paradox is that this video represents different things to different people.
Somewhat like the KONY 2012 video, this kind of strong moral ambiguity produces strong reactions. According to BetaBeat, "A Ukranian nutritionist named Max Sidorov started an Indiegogo campaign with a goal of $5,000 for Ms. Klein to help raise money for a much-needed vacation following the incident. As of this writing, the campaign had raised over $175,000." [At this moment the fund has raised $283,944 and is still open for 29 days] A lot of the success of the campaign owes to Sidorov's standing on Reddit. He posted this yesterday and it now has 1632 "points."
That someone named Case Prince has set up an indiegogo fund for Sidorov himself (with the modest goal of $2,500 to buy the well-meaning guy a new laptop) only adds to the self-referential labyrinth of the story. I believe that Sidorov's intentions are fairly honest, but the viral wave raises all ships. Buzzfeed's tech editor John Herrman tweeted, "Guy who raised over 100k for a bullied bus monitor is promoting a fundraiser for himself: over 1k. Not how this works!"
But this is how it works. Klein is a compelling character. She has clearly endured suffering and hardship in her life, but never in a way visible to millions of people. Sidorov is compelling too, in his citizen's advocacy—Silicon Valley style. Something really horrible has happened the reminds us of other horrible things that happen around us every day and we want to respond. We want to make it right.
Does this seem a bit like the lottery? It is, perhaps. But it is also a public expression of disgust at the rampant inequality that is America in 2012. Ms. Klein needs (or at least, before this windfall, needed) her job, as low paying as it is ($15,506 a year, according to Sidorov's pitch copy). The bullies on the bus intuited her vulnerability and seized upon it, as they would, in another situation, with "the wimpy kid," "the asian kid," "the black kid," "the special needs kid," etc.
We all know that this is just not right. And although the bullies' bad humor probably originates, in no small part, in stuff they saw in the darker corners of the internet, and although we are all witnessing this—being subjected, like Klein to this—through the internet, it is also through the internet that we feel we can make it right. In a world as litigious as ours, is ±$300K a fair payout for such pain and suffering? Maybe. But the point is that beyond a few TV interviews and a (hopefully ) short spell as a local celebrity, she will not have to relive this in court to get that justice. The internet community, the Reddit community, the indiegogo community—are giving it to her as an expression of immediate empathic equalization.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2009 Defense and Veterans Affairs Department health care professionals began a three-day workshop here today to harness initiatives to improve psychological health care for servicemembers and veterans.
Through the first-of-its kind joint mental health summit, officials of both departments hope to gain a broader, national perspective of the care servicemembers, veterans and their families need to overcome the emotional wounds of war, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said.
"Beyond waging the wars we're in, treatment of our wounded -- their continuing care and eventual reintegration into everyday life -- is my highest priority," Gates said. "I consider this a solemn pact between those who have risked and suffered and the nation that owes them its eternal gratitude."
Gates' remarks comes less than a week after President Barack Obama signed the Veterans Healthcare Reform and Transparency Act, which improves the way VA receives health care funding.
"The attention being paid to mental health issues is so important, because in the past, unseen injuries such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury were not accorded the full attention they deserved," he said.
Gates noted that such conditions have been "around as long as war itself." But repeated deployments since Sept. 11, 2001 to Iraq and Afghanistan have brought new focus to these illnesses, he added.
More than 6,000 current servicemembers, according to recent studies, are potentially affected with post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury or similar conditions, Gates said, noting some of the signs of such circumstances.
"Some of the signs are apparent – severe depression, or even suicide," he said. "Others are more elusive and sometimes ill-defined, arriving in the form of nightmares, anxiety or unexplained and uncontrollable anger. Other acts, seemingly unrelated, bear this enemy's indelible fingerprints: petty thefts, fights, spousal abuse, drug or alcohol abuse.
"Today, it is all too clear that TBI, post-traumatic stress, and numerous other related mental ailments are widespread, entrenched and insidious," he continued.
Defense officials have gradually realized that care for psychological wounds must have the same focus, initiative and standards as the care for physical injuries, Gates said, noting the past two years have seen significant improvements in mental health care.
About $3.3 billion of the fiscal 2010 defense budget is allotted to meet those needs. Gates cited that this year alone, the department has increased its numbers of case managers and mental health providers, developed a new disability evaluation system with VA, established a dozen more Army Warrior in Transition complexes and pursued a number of other initiatives to improve the quality of life for psychologically wounded troops.
The Army, which has seen a steady increase in soldier suicides in the past four years, "is putting renewed emphasis" on leader responsibilities in noticing the signs of psychological stress, Gates noted. The Army began a five-year partnership this year with the National Institute of Mental Health, which is considered the largest study of suicide ever embarked upon.
"These [initiatives] include early recognition of warning signals and intervention in the hope of preventing the kinds of tragedies that have destroyed careers, families and lives," he said. "This military research and activity on psychological stress may have positive ramifications for society at large for understanding and treating the effects of traumatic events on civilians who suffer from accidents, natural disasters, personal tragedies or crime."
Positive steps have been made, but more must be done, Gates said. He said the Defense Department and VA must continue defining roles and responsibilities and keep searching for better ways to share information.
Gates noted that the eight years of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan constitute the longest war America has fought with an all-volunteer force. Retention goals continue to be met and troops and their families have shown "remarkable resilience," Gates said, but he added there's no telling how long that trend could last.
"We don't know the limits of their endurance and the consequences once those limits have passed," he said. "The humbling fact remains that there is so much we still don't know about post-traumatic stress and other psychological problems.
"This reality makes it imperative that we continue the work that has already begun," he continued. "The military medical community, the Defense Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs, is supremely dedicated to this issue."
