Llamma is probably one of the best in the Xbox modding world and nothing proves that more than their customs Xbox and Xbox 360 mods for major players in the games industry. Rockstar Games appears to be a particular fan, commissioning Llamma to do a few custom mod-jobs for the Grand Theft Auto developers. Most recently, Llamma created a stunning Table Tennis mod for two Xbox 360s, one of which went to the developers (probably on display in their happening New York company party loft) and the other was given away at this years PAX games convention which recently concluded in the US. The mod is brilliant, with a clear plastic panel on one side, LED table tennis ball and matching glossy black controls with the Rockstar logo screened onto it. One lucky fan is now in Rockstar heaven with this little puppy, or, a few hundred dollars richer thanks to eBay.

Genealogical Research at
Among the many components of its overall mission, the Kutztown Area Historical Society supports genealogical research throughout Berks and adjacent counties. While our long-range plans include a searchable on-line database to provide substantial information for local surnames of interest, for now, we provide a fairly comprehensive list of websites at which individual researchers stand the greatest chance of success for locating Berks-area information. We hope that the recommendations provided below will encourage further investigation throughout the area. If you have a site to add to our list, please contact us. To see the resources available in our library at the 1892 Public School Building in Kutztown, go to our Library page.
At this site, scroll down the left-hand column to "The Census": click on this link, and then look for the several entries for the 1876 Kutztown census at the bottom of the page. Originally recorded by James F. Wagenhorst, transcribed by Brendan D. Strasser from the original document, this census is the most complete known record of the Borough of Kutztown in the mid to late 19th century.
Complete transcription of the Register of the Reformed Congregation of Ziegel's Union Church, located in Weisenberg Twp., Lehigh Co., PA. Includes many surnames from the Maxatawny area of Berks County, only about 1.5 miles away. Of definite interest to Kutztown area research. Translation from the German courtesy of Randall T. Wert.
Ludwick Funeral Home Obituaries
Far and away the best genealogical collection for the greater Berks County area. Contact this society, located in the Goggle Works at 201 Washington St., Reading, PA, for hours and directions.
Maintains a non-circulating library & archive to aid Berks-related genealogical research. Not as complete as the collection of the Berks County Genealogical Society, but more readily available due to greater hours of operation.
General information on the resources of the Register of Wills office. Searchable indexes of birth, death, and marriage registers for the City of Reading and County of Berks. (Extremely helpful office at which to conduct research in person, as well.)
The BCAGP's mission is to preserve and maintain historic graveyards in Berks County and throughout eastern Pennsylvania, many of which suffer from neglect and vandalism, eroded headstones, etc. Research supports the existence of more than 300 historic graveyards in Berks County, with approximately 120 showing some sort of visible surface evidence. This updated and expanded site includes membership information, photographs, and contact information.
A superlative resource for census information, church & cemetery records, tax records, wills, deeds, obituaries, immigration & naturalization, military, pensions, history, townships & boroughs, etc. A bit random because all information is submitted by volunteers and individual researchers, but filled with surprises as well.
Index site with links to the three censuses indicated, with plans for more to be added in the future.
Highly recommended site with links to family genealogy pages, including Gehris, Zettlemoyer, Yoder, Bieber, Brobst, and more.
An excellent site with many unexpected miscellaneous references and sources, including tax lists, church & cemetery records, will abstracts, etc.
Genealogical site maintained by John William Bieber of Claymont, Delaware.
Much information on Albany Twp., but also including Greenwich, Maxatawny Twps. and other local names.
Genealogical site for the Gehris/Gehres/Geres name, including many other surnames, maintained by Roy Gehris.
Site maintained by Kraig Ruckel of Texas, with many links especially to Lehigh & Carbon County resources. Database for RUCKEL, BATTERTON, and other families of Pennsylvania German descent.
Quaker family from the Hopewell Furnace area of southern Berks and northern Montgomery Counties.
Includes the listed surnames plus many other early northern and eastern Berks County names and lines. Home page also includes many links to local genealogical websites. The family genealogical website of society librarian Brendan D. Strasser.
Maintained by Chris Yoder.
Website on Zettlemoyer and variant spellings maintained by Harry Wilson of North Carolina.
Founded in 1892, among the oldest and best established genealogical societies in the United States.
PAfamily.net: The Pennsylvania Genealogy Web Page
One of the most thorough websites on Pennsylvania genealogy, with links to all 67 counties.
State and county searches available from the main page.
The main Roots-List website for Pennsylvania, with major topics including Daily Life, Geography, History, Military, and so forth.
This site examines a collection of PA German gravestones erected from the 1740s to the late 1800s which provide a unique view of the culture, including a chronology of how choices in gravestone imagery evolved from the early German settlement of Pennsylvania, through the Civil War time period and into the 1900s. It is an introduction to these stones, and some of the people who erected them, with an emphasis on the 1700s, when the iconography and folk art of the Pennsylvania Germans were unique to their communities and independent of their English neighbors
Founded in 1977, the AGS is an international organization that exists to further the study and preservation of gravestones. While not specific to Pennsylvania or Berks County history, this site includes very helpful information for genealogists and researchers on such topics as "Gravestone Rubbing Do's and Don'ts," "Tools and Materials for Gravestone Cleaning Projects," and "Symbolism on Gravemarkers."
Other Recommended Genealogy Sites:
Not specific to Berks County, but containing more than 168,000 links in more than 150 categories, making it one of the most thorough meta-sites for genealogy on the World Wide Web. Highly recommended for beginning genealogists, and very user-friendly.
The oldest and largest free genealogy site, supported by Ancestry.com.
The main site for USGenWeb, the most comprehensive genealogical volunteer project ever attempted. Go here for links to sites throughout the United States.
An ongoing project to transcribe federal censuses from throughout the country.

Tak's Training Log Last Chance
Posted 07 October 2010 - 07:12 AM
I did a split routine consisting of Chest/Bicep Day, Back/Tricep Day and Shoulder/Traps.
As you see i didn't any legs and i have pigeon legs. I guess this workout worked as i was dedicated and built up my strength.
Finished Uni, started a telemarketing job which physically drained me and made me eat at the wrong times.
Since finishing Uni which is about 2 years ago i stopped going to gym well i went on and off. And started to become really weak compared to my peak.
Now i've decided to get back into it and do it properly this time. Eat Sleep Train!
I'm about 175cms and 56kg lol don't worry i'm not anorexic just your typical asian
I'm doing the Skinny Guy routine. Did my first training session yesterday. Still trying to establish the weights i can do since i haven't attempted the exercises in the Skinny Guy routine before. My legs are sore and i can't walk properly(I HATE STAIRS!!!). I was wondering if i can hit the gym and do the upper body exercises while the legs are still aching or should i wait for my legs to recover and do the whole routine?
Posted 07 October 2010 - 07:46 AM
Yeah go to the gym and smash your upper body.
Also i found swimming and stretching helped get me moving half properly as well.
Also if you havent yet, invest in a foam roller. They are a life saver!
Posted 12 October 2010 - 01:29 PM
Couldn't do squats legs still hurt from last session
Bench 45x8 45x7 35x10
Chin Ups 13 9
SLDL still trying to get use to the technique so i don't hurt myself on this one
Standing Military Press 15x8 20x8 25x6
Barbell Curls 15x8 20x5 15x8

I went to Crispo for dinner recently and it was awesome. The creamy polenta appetizer is out of this world, and I had the bolognese special which was also great. The pastas were very fresh. I thought the service was good and that the meal was very reasonably priced.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/09/2005
I've been to Crispo three times now and have never been disappointed with the food. I've ordered main course specials twice and the hangar steak standby---everything is tasty, fresh, and authentically Italian (as opposed to most of the Italian-American pretenders in the city). The service is good, not amazing, but fast and friendly enough. The setting is just right, perfect for a night with friends or a first date. The pasta is not a good value, but the meat dishes are comparatively cheap. (both pasta and meat cost around $17--you do the math). The not-so-reasonable wine selections can quickly balloon your tab, so be careful about what you order. A good bet is to go with four people, each order a main meat course and share a lower-priced bottle of wine (~$40)---your total tab will be around $140-$150 and you'll be quite satisfied.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/13/2005
One of the best italian restaurants in the city. Perfect date restaurant or to go with another couple.
Posted by Josephine on 06/09/2005
That pretty much sums up my experience at Crispo. I like to try new and different things, but when in a pinch and you cannot decide on where to go; Crispo is definitely the spot. The food is delicious and with daily specials there is always something new and exciting to try. I LOVE their take on ham and cheese.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/22/2005
Excellent food in perfect portions, great wine, friendly, quick and tactful service, subtle but lovely decor...I can't say enough for this beautifully candle-lit, dreamy restaurant. The din was just right, the courtyard cozy, and the meal leisurely and delectable. Ahhh. Probably suitable for all occasions but prime on a spring night with a healthy appetite, full wallet and great company.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/07/2005
I've been to Crispo three times now, and each time the food does not dissappoint. The meat and cheese plates are fantastic as well as the pasta entrees. I love the truffle oil pasta and would go back again and again just to have that one dish. My only problem would be that the salads are a bit boring, but overall the food is wonderful and very reasonably priced for a NYC restaurant.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/07/2005
We had a few problems during our first visit and after complaining to the management (reviewed 2 Sundays ago here after a Saturday night experience), we were invited back to try again. The second time, the service was impeccable. The food was delicious and it was probably one of our best restaurant experiences ever. The place is extremely popular so there's no reason that they had to call us to apologize, except they do care about their customers. We were very happy the second time around.


text: I don't know if anyone else had a problem with this, but did anyone else hate the in-tight camera angle they used at this game? It was almost impossible to watch what was going on away from the ball because they followed the play with the camera like it was a hockey game. This was far more of a problem than the commentary IMO.

There are many ways to make bread and this is one of them (and in my opinion, a very simple way). Remember, bread making is not an exact science.
Step 1: What you'll need
- Yeast - 2 Tbsp
- Hot-ish* water - 2 cups
- Bread flour - 5 cups total, 2 for the sponge and 3 for later. (NOT regular flour)
- Sugar - 2 Tbsp.
- Salt - 2 tsp.
- Oil - 2 Tbsp.
- 3 loaf pans
- Quick-read thermometer
- Oven pre-heated to 375
*Hot-ish means between 95 and 115 degrees F. much colder and it won't activate, much warmer and it will kill the little guys.
Step 2: Make the sponge
Start by mixing the hot water and the flour. Then, add 2 Tbsp. sugar, 2 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. yeast, and 2 tsp. salt.
Let this sit for about 8 or 10 minutes. Assuming your water was hot enough, it should be nice and bubbly.
Step 3: Add some flour and knead it
Once it gets too tough to stir, flip it onto a clean floured surface. Now, knead away, adding flour as you do so.
Knead the dough for 8 or 9 minutes. As my Mother says, it should be the texture of your earlobe when it's done kneading.
When you finish this part put it back in the bowl and cover it with a slightly damp towel.
Step 4: Let it rise...
I like this recipe. It's easy to shop for and it also seems like it would be simple to customize. I made way too much bread though.
does anyone know if you can just mix cinnamon as you were just making a plain loaf and do you have to add sugar to this as well
If I remember eating cinnamon toast as a youth, you should mix a little sugar with it - but if you don't, you can always spread a little sugar onto the bread along with the butter if it needs it after baking.
Wonderful recipe! I now use it all the time; lately, I have been substituting a cup of rye flour for a cup of bread flour - people love it. Today I am going to substitute a cup of rye and a cup of whole wheat. The salt I use is Hawaiian black salt style garlic salt (made from fresh garlic) -- hmmm, I have some leftover cheese so I might add that.
A few minor tweaks to your recipe. First you do not need hot water, warm or room temp water will do just fine and it helps keep the rise at a slower pace. Remember time is our friend when making bread, but before cooking the dough heat is our enemy. Second you should not add the salt right away when making your polish / sponge, the salt should be added after you mix everything together and let your dough rest for 20 minutes for the gluten form and bond then add the salt and mix again. Third don't look for doubled in size rather test you dough to see when it has finished rising, poke it with two fingers if the dough pushes back it is still rising, if the dough stays indented it has finished rising and if it falls it was over proofed. Forth and just as a different way of kneading, I knead in three steps each have a 10 minute break in between, I fold the dough ten times and place it in an oiled bowl folded side down, each time I knead I flip it over and knead from the bottom. after the last knead I give it 40 to 50 min to rise "when it tests right when poked" then form into loafs or what ever you are making and let rise until it tests as ready to bake. hope this helps. Note salt is a yeast killer but also adds to the flavor of bread. That is why we delay putting the salt in!
I am sorry to contradict you just a little, but salt does not kill yeast. They will function just fine even with some salt.
Hi. My son is doing a project on break baking and we would like to use the photographs provided with this recipe. We need written permission from the owner of the photographs. May we please use the photographs and can you please send an email giving us permission to do so. My son is Dian Liebenberg. Thank you. Alma (Pretoria; South Africa)
when I make my whole grain homemade sourdough bread it goes into the
baking cycle with a nice smooth rounded top. When it comes out the top
has a half an inch to an inch deep dense and it weren't sagged. What
causes this?
There is no sweat in using yeast at cold temperatures. there is no need to "activate" it at all.
In fact bread proved in the fridge overnight develops more flavour than bread proved quickly. Unless the yeast is dead (unlikely) it will do it's job, even at low temperatures.
If you buy fresh yeast and don't use it all you can freeze it for many weeks and still use it once defrosted.
@dutch981 (because this site keeps complaining about a capcha that doesn't exist).
Your bread was probably one of the following:
Under kneaded. If it was really crumbly/coarse it wasn't kneaded enough. Also avoid whole wheat as it does the same. The dough should feel really tough. If you over knead it your bread will turn out more tough (think pizza) not dense.
Not enough water. Your dough needs to be really tacky and wet. Also cover very lightly with oil. Bread will not double properly if it's too dry.
Under/over rise. It needs to have just doubled in size and making an indentation with your finger will have no spring back. This goes for first and second rise, especially the first. You know it's risen too much when it comes out with large air pockets in the top.
Too drafty. Try turning the oven to warm for a couple of minutes. It should feel like 90F (or a nice warm day). Turn it off and shut the bread in. The warmth will help it rise at a good pace.
Keep trying. You'll quickly learn what the dough is suppose to feel/look like at different stages. The whole process becomes second nature and feels a lot less like work (the clean up is a different story).
Great instructable !
I have baked many loafs with regular flour which goes very very well
It was my very first time making bread, and it turned out delightful! We were all very pleased!
Great instructions! and photos! I'll be following them again :)
So, with this basic recipe, can I throw in some extra sugar and say, cinnamon for some sweet bread, or is there something else I need to know or do before I just start throwing things in the mix?
I'm making it right now. I halved the recipe and I'm currently on the first rise. (I'm giving it 90min on first rise, 30min on second).
About the water temperature, I know it's hard to get right if you don't have a thermometer. Use your wrist to judge. The water shouldn't feel too hot or too cold. It should pretty much match your body temperature. I added it to a big mug and quickly added the yeast and sugar before the water cooled down, and covered it with a paper towel for 10 minutes. My first try with this was successful, but unfortunately a fruit fly got in there and died. :/ I think this is a good fruit fly trap lol.
Instead of kneading it, I used a dough hook on my mixer and it took half of the time. I kneaded it for a minute with my hand just to add some olive oil around it so that it wouldn't stick to the bowl.
I think that half of the recipe will make 2 smaller loaves of bread, which is perfect for just the 2 of us. I'm going to braid one plain, and make a cinnamon raisin loaf because I have a ton of raisins.
Thanks for the recipe!
what's the recipe for that ? thank you.
Hot-ish* water - 1 cup
Bread flour - 2.5 cups total, 2 for the sponge and 3 for later. (NOT regular flour)
Sugar - 1 Tbsp.
Salt - 1 tsp.
Oil - 1 Tbsp.
1 loaf pan
Quick-read thermometer
Oven pre-heated to 375

The Chattanooga wrestling team took over first place in the Southern Conference race with a 28-18 win over UNC-Greensboro today. The Mocs improved to 9-7 on the season and 3-0 in SoCon action while the Spartans dropped to 2-1 in league meets and 2-10 overall.
The Mocs fell behind early in the match today, getting pinned at 125 and dropping the 133 match. Trailing 9-0 after two classes, the Mocs needed big wins in the next two matches to get back into the meet.
All-American junior Cody Cleveland stopped the bleeding with a 13-6 decision over Chris Bencivenga in the 141 match. The eighth-ranked Cleveland improved to 16-4 on the season and is now 3-0 in SoCon meets.
Freshman Dan Waddell was back in the line-up at 149 after missing the previous three matches due to injuries. He earned a 6-5 decision over Ben Wilmore to pull the Mocs to within 9-6. Wilmore used a two-point near-fall to go up 5-4 headed into the final period, but Waddell was able to score a reversal with a minute remaining to pull ahead, 6-5.
Chattanooga got into real trouble in the 157-pound match when freshman Brandon Wright was pinned by Andrew Saunders. After scoring an early takedown, Saunders ran a half nelson to pin Wright with just nine seconds left in the first period.
With UTC trailing 15-6 and planning to forfeit at 184, head coach Chris Bono had to make a shift in his line-up. He inserted junior Joey Knox at 165 and bumped senior Seth Garvin (174) and freshman Jason McCroskey (184) up a weight class. The move resulted in two technical falls and a pin for the Mocs.
Knox, ranked No. 19 in the nation at 157, used three takedowns and three near-falls to score a 15-0 technical fall over Victor Hojilla. It was Knox's first action since suffering a high-ankle sprain against Oklahoma on Jan. 11, moving the score to 15-11.
The Mocs took their first lead of the afternoon after Garvin recorded his own, 15-0, technical fall. Garvin, ranked No. 19 at 165, scored four near-falls as he defeated Byron Sigmon at 174 pounds to give Chattanooga a 16-15 lead in the team score.
McCroskey pushed the Mocs lead to 22-15 after recording a third period pin against Mikal McKee. After trailing 1-0 heading into the third period, McKee chose neutral and scored an early takedown before McCroskey scored an escape to knot the match at 1. McCroskey then scored a takedown and put McKee directly to his back for the pin.
Freshman Ethan Winel made it back-to-back pins for Chattanooga after downing Ryan Sughrue at 197 pounds. Trailing 3-2 in the third period, Winel used an inside trip to put Sughrue to his back and extend the Mocs lead to 28-15.
In the final match of the afternoon, UNCG's Joe Sheffield scored a third period takedown to win, 3-1, against freshman Cody Sliger at 285 pounds.
The Mocs return to action for a pair of duals on Friday, Jan. 30. UTC hosts Campbellsville and The Citadel in beginning at 6:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in McKenzie Arena.
The Mocs are auctioning off another Ultimate Wrestling Experience for the match against No. 2 Cornell on Saturday, Jan. 31. Fans can click here to bid on the prize that includes two tickets with premium seating beside the mat, locker room access for pregame preparations with the team, food vouchers, hostess to deliver your food to your seats and available if other purchases are needed from the concession stand, photo taken with Coach Bono and two (2) Mocs Wrestling T-Shirts

WASHINGTON, April 23, 2007 About half of the U.S. troops involved in the surge to Baghdad and Anbar province have arrived in Iraq and are beginning their work of providing security so the Iraqi government can move forward, President Bush said here today.
"These troops are all aimed at helping the Iraqi government find the breathing space necessary to do what the people want them to do, and that is to reconcile and move forward with a government of and by and for the Iraqi people," Bush said after a White House meeting with Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq.
Bush thanked Petraeus for his visit to Washington, during which he is scheduled to brief a joint session of Congress on progress in Iraq. Bush noted that "it's a tough time" in Iraq, but there has been progress. He called Petraeus "a straightforward man who is implementing a very good plan to achieve our strategic objectives."
"General Petraeus has taken on a very important assignment for the security of our country and for the peace of the world, and that is to help this young Iraqi democracy become stable, evolve into a country that can defend itself and govern itself, and serve as an ally in this war against extremists and radicals who wish to do us harm," Bush said.
Bush also again emphasized that he will reject any artificial timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq. "An artificial timetable of withdrawal would say to an enemy, 'Just wait them out,'" he said. "It would say to the Iraqis, 'Don't do hard things necessary to achieve our objectives;' and it would be discouraging for our troops."

Billy the Kid
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A New Mexico county has paid $125,000 in attorney fees to a weekly newspaper for violating open records laws in a lawsuit over Billy the Kid's death.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that a De Baca County News attorney says the settlement agreement represents only the payment from Lincoln County to the newspapers, which sued along with East Mountain resident Gale Cooper in 2007.
The lawsuit sought documents relating to an investigation into Billy the Kid's death and whether he was buried in Fort Sumner.
Four other law firms previously involved in the case were paid another $70,000 combined and one claim is outstanding.
The Lincoln County sheriff's office has opened an investigation into the escape of the famous New Mexico outlaw from the Lincoln County jail 122 years ago, hoping to determine if he had an accomplice.

Indonesia lost as much as Rp 2.13 trillion ($238.6 million) to corruption in 2011, although authorities should have been able to easily detect the methods used for graft, a watchdog revealed on Sunday.
Danang Widoyoko, the coordinator of Indonesia Corruption Watch, said a study by his organization showed that embezzlement accounted for most of the money lost and that government investment was the sector most prone to graft.
Embezzlement cost the state Rp 1.23 trillion last year, almost three times more than the second most prevalent method, bogus projects and travel costs, which cost the state Rp 446.5 billion.
Misappropriations came third at Rp 181.1 billion, followed by markups at Rp 171.5 billion.
Danang said those were age-old methods that should have been easily preventable.
"Our corruption practices are actually still quite primitive and therefore easy for auditors to track," he said.
Part of the problem, he said, was the presidential instruction issued last year on eradicating corruption, which he called weak for overstressing prevention at the expense of taking action.
"Programs on corruption prevention account for almost 90 percent of [antigraft funding], particularly in law enforcement institutions," Danang said.
"There's nothing wrong with preventing graft, but the presidential instruction should have given more weight to action that can be taken by the police and the Attorney General's Office to investigate corruption cases."
He said police and the AGO made the problem worse by using much of their graft prevention funds for internal reform instead of going after other graft cases.
"They focus their prevention efforts on shoring themselves up from the inside, so that it looks like they've achieved their antigraft programs," he said.
If prevention must be stressed, he continued, it should be in the political arena. However, Danang said it was regrettable that neither
the government nor the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) had drawn up a blueprint for tackling graft at that level.
He said ICW's projection for the coming years was that politically related graft cases would increase in prominence as the 2014 legislative and presidential polls approached.
He warned that the next two years could see politicians and parties meddle in the mining, forestry and plantations sectors as they sought to raise funding for their campaigns.
"The high cost of running will see all the parties in a race to get money throughout 2013, so 2012 will be the year to watch out for [possible graft] in state funding for the energy and mineral resources sectors," Danang said.
He said this pattern played out in the period leading up to previous elections and would continue to occur as long as the KPK failed to draw up strict standards for transparency in political party funding.
He added that in addition to raiding the state budget, politicians would also constitute the biggest obstacle to the KPK in carrying out its job.
Separately, Bambang Soesatyo, a member of the House of Representatives, called on the KPK not to be pressured into cherry-picking which politicians it investigated.
"If a single KPK commissioner is boxed in by political interests, the commission will lose its independence and its effectiveness," the Golkar Party lawmaker said.
Bambang was responding to speculation that KPK chairman Abraham Samad was pressured into not probing Democratic Party chairman Anas Urbaningrum, who has been implicated in corruption by graft suspect and former Democrat treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin.
Correction: This story has been edited to rectify an earlier
error. In the original article the figure Rp 2.13 trillion was incorrectly converted into $238.6 billion. The figure

Board approves additional changes to administrator contract policy
OXFORD — Although public interest in Monday night's meeting of the Granville County Board of Education focused on concerns about administrator pay, the board conducted business on a number of other issues.
The board approved several revisions to district policy, including the section on administrators' contracts, which states the criteria for granting, extending or renewing contracts. Another policy on the same subject was adopted March 3; it describes the procedures for executing contracts, including requiring they must be approved by a majority vote of the school board.
Michael Dann presented the Maria Woodson Dann Educator Award to three teachers. The award is named for his mother, a Granville County teacher who died in a car accident. This year's recipients are Amanda Weldon, Joe Toler-Oak Hill Elementary School; Bridget Craddock, West Oxford Elementary School; and Kristen Elliott, Creedmoor Elementary School.
Emily Parham, a senior at J.F. Webb High School of Health and Life Sciences, was introduced as the recipient of the Granville County Schools Prospective Teacher Scholarship, which is given in the form of a $5,600 loan. The loan will be forgiven if Parham teaches for four years in Granville County Schools.
Col. Skip Lewis, Army JROTC instructor, presented the J.F. Webb Campus Academic Team, which advanced to the finals of the national Army JROTC Academic Bowl.
"These kids epitomize what's good about Granville County," he said, saying they competed against 3,700 schools nationwide.
The team was one of 81 teams nationally and one of four from North Carolina to reach the finals in April.
Seven high school seniors shared reflections on their educational journeys in Granville County Schools. The speakers were:
• Kara Gann, South Granville High School of Health and Life Sciences.
• Grayson Parrish, South Granville High School of Integrated Technology and Leadership.
• Aquayla Swann, Granville Central High School.
• Shaderrika Harris, the Center for Innovative Learning.
• Brionna Royster, J.F. Webb High School.
• Zachary Watkins, J.F. Webb High School of Health and Life Sciences.
• Martha Cervantes, Granville Early College High School.
Jon Long, of Boomerang Design, presented a progress report on work on construction at Granville Central. The board scheduled a special meeting for July 14 to accept bids and award a construction contract.

Special Report
Israeli Arms Sales to Iran
By Jane Hunter
In September, when the Israeli government radio accused Iranian troops of training Lebanese Shiite guerrillas for attacks on the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army, and said that Iranians themselves might also have been among those who attacked Israeli positions in Lebanon, the US media reported those charges in great detail. None found the time or space, however, to note how ironic it was for Israel to complain about Iranian military activities.
Iran might have been hard put to continue its costly six-year-old war with Iraq—not to mention simultaneously stirring up followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini in Lebanon—if Israel had not been willing to sell the Khomeini government great quantities of the weapons Iran desperately needed to keep its army in the field. That is only one of the anomalies of Israel's booming arms trade. US law and US policy also come in for some stretching and twisting.
Over the course of the Gulf war, Iran's quest for weapons has become legendary, with many countries and hordes of private arms dealers eager to conclude arms deals and reap the premium commissions Iran offers. Israel, with standing access to the same models of US-made arms upon which the Shah based Iran's arsenal, and with its desire to build up an indigenous arms industry, has led the pack. The London Observer estimated that Israel's arms sales to Iran total $500 million annually.
Before 1979, when Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi held power, Iran was the world's biggest buyer of Israeli arms. The Islamic fundamentalist government which succeeded the Shah militantly damned Zionism up and down and hung a prominent Iranian Jew for "spying for Israel." In 1980, however, when the Iraq-Iran war began, Iranian representatives met in Paris with Israel's deputy defense minister and worked out a "Jews for arms" deal. Iran permitted Jews to emigrate and Israel sold Iran ammunition and spare parts for Chieftain tanks and US-made F-4 Phantom aircraft. Channeled through a private Israeli arms dealer, this particular agreement appropriately ended in 1984, when Iran was slow in paying its bills.
Although secrecy is the first principle in the netherworld of arms trading, details of several subsequent major Israeli arms sales to Iran have come to light. In 1981, Ya'acov Nimrodi, an intimate of leaders across the Israeli political spectrum, sold the Iranian defense ministry $135,842,000 worth of Hawk anti-aircraft missiles, 155 mm. mortars, ammunition, and other weapons through his Tel Aviv-based company, International Desalination Equipment, Ltd. From 1955 to 1979 Nimrodi had been Israel's military attache in Tehran.
On July 24, 1984, Radio Luxembourg reported that Nimrodi had met in Zurich with the deputy defense minister and the top intelligence officer of Iran and with Rif'at al-Assad, the brother of Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. Swiss government sources said that the meeting resulted in a deal to ship 40 truckloads of weapons a day from Israel to Iran, via Syria and Turkey.
On September 15, 1985, a DC-8 cargo plane returning from Iran and supposedly bound for Malaga, Spain, made an emergency landing in Tel Aviv. Investigation revealed that the plane— recently acquired from an obscure Miami firm by a shadowy Brussels-based "Nigerian" company—had been flying Hawk missiles from the US to Iran via Israel. A Boeing 707 registered to the company had been carrying loads of 1,250 TOW missiles from Israel to Iran via Malaga.
At about the same time the London Observer reported that a ship carrying 25,000 tons of Israeli material was making a rush delivery, sailing directly to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas rather than first going to Zaire where the Iranian buyers would inspect the cargo.
In May, 1986, West German authorities foiled an $81 million ammunition deal and uncovered a tank deal in the process. Charged in the case were an Israeli and a former Israeli citizen. The West German weekly Stern said a telex from the state-owned Israeli Military Industries dated April 1 indicated official Israeli involvement.
In June of this year a Swedish businessman was reported to have acted as intermediary for Israeli sales of explosives to Iran. The shipments went from Israel to Iran via Argentina. In September, 1986, United Press International reported that the Danish Sailor's Union had logs and records to prove that since May a Danish freighter had taken four 900-ton shipments from the Israeli port of Eilat to Bandar Abbas in Iran. The union was certain the arms were US-made.
Re-selling without permission arms acquired from the US and the sale of US weapons to Iran are both prohibited by US law. In separate incidents involving sales negotiated within the US, federal authorities have arrested two Israeli military reservists and a Yugoslav-American, Paul Cutter. Cutter, who has connections to Israeli Minister of Trade and Industry Ariel Sharon, and who also told co-workers he was authorized to sell arms Israel captured in Lebanon in 1982, has been convicted and jailed. The Israeli government disassociated itself from these men.
Now, however, a federal "sting" operation has cracked the biggest arms deal yet. US Customs Service agents drew retired Israeli army general Avraham Bar-Am and 12 co-conspirators (three of them Israelis) into a carefully-laid trap last April, Tapes made by the Customs Service reveal Israeli government involvement in a $2.6 billion conspiracy to sell US-made arms to Iran through third countries.
On recordings made available to the Chicago Tribune, Samuel Evans, a London-based American lawyer who coordinated two separate conspiracies to offer sophisticated aircraft, missiles, and ordnance to Iran, is heard to say that he would be discussing the deal with Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and that the authority for the transaction went "right through to (Prime Minister) Peres."
The case is particularly serious because federal authorities presented evidence in their indictment that the deal included phony re-export certificates attesting that Israel was re-selling surplus arms to Turkey, which is legal, rather than to Iran, which is not.
General Bar-Am claimed from his jail cell that he had an Israeli government license to sell arms. Denying any involvement, Israeli officials insisted that the license was only to prospect for sales, one of a thousand distributed to former military officers. The Israelis have worked hard to bolster this contention. In late September Defense Minister Rabin called a press conference to say the permit process would be changed to avoid the appearance of government approval. But an earlier statement by Ya'acov Nimrodi that such sales are government-authorized and that permits come from a special department in the Israeli Defense Ministry and are difficult to get contradicts Rabin—as have many reports over the years that it is common Israeli practice to sell arms through fronts and agents.
The US government has avoided dealing head-on in public with the Israeli government over this issue. When the Bermuda conspirators were arrested it was reported that the Israeli ambassador was called in for a stern warning. It is unlikely, however, that prosecutors will focus on the Israeli government's role when the Bermuda conspirators stand trial in New York this November.
Over the last six years Washington has several times expressed its disapproval of arms sales to Iran. During the 1979-1981 hostage crisis, Israel was specifically asked to stop deliveries while Iran was holding US hostages and it is possible that Israel complied. At an October I luncheon he hosted, Secretary of State George Shultz assured diplomats from the Arab states of the Gulf that Israel had told US officials it had stopped selling arms to Iran in 1983. Shultz, in fact, accused the Soviet Union of not clamping down on sales by its allies to Iran!
During the Reagan administration US policy has swung through various levels of support for Iraq. Israel's often-stated policy on the Gulf war is to keep it going as long as possible because the dreadful carnage ties up the combatants and prevents either from attacking Israel.
In 1983, then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon blurted out duringa US speaking engagement that Israel sold arms to Iran because it regarded Iraq as the greater enemy, and that the sales had been thoroughly discussed with US officials. US officials acknowledged such discussions but denied that Israel had US permission."
Last spring what turned out to be an Israeli disinformation campaign propounded the notion that the US had asked Israel to sell arms to Iran. The tapes in the Bar-Am case are said to suggest that the US was considering shifting its support to Iran while the conspiracy-sting was being hatched.
This kind of last-ditch Israeli government defense, probably supported by pro-Israel political obscurantists in Washington, has almost certainly been used before. When it was revealed that Israel was shipping arms to the Soviet-supported government of Ethiopia to fight Western-assisted resistance movements, and arms to the Argentine junta during the Malvinas-Falklands war, Israeli disinformationists in Washington sought to argue that Israeli actions which directly contravened stated US government objectives were really part of a "double game" somehow coordinated with Washington. This time, arrests by the US government of Israeli "players" have left no doubt that the US interest is to halt, not abet, Israeli arms sales to America's enemies.

CCPD: Man nearly drowns Saturday in Flour Bluff canal
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 48-year-old man was rescued by a bystander Saturday evening who launched his boat to pull the man out of a canal channel in Flour Bluff.
Officers were called about 6 p.m. to a canal in the 200 block of Thelma Drive after reports of a man in the water. The call was soon upgraded to a possible drowning, police said.
Upon arrival, police found members of the Flour Bluff Volunteer Fire Department performing CPR on a 48-year-old man who had been pulled from the water.
A 48-year-old witness told police he saw the man in the canal yelling for help with his head barely above the surface of the water.
The man launched his boat and helped pull him to shore, police said.
Emergency responders drove the man to Bay Area Hospital where he was listed in critical condition, police said.
No further information about his condition was immediately available Monday afternoon.

Phoenix Suns
Team chemistry reason for Phoenix Suns' first half success
PHOENIX -- Throw together a new general manager, a new head coach and 10 new faces and what do you get? You get an NBA team that is one of the bigger surprises of 2013-14.
That team, the Phoenix Suns, has hit the midway point of its season with 24 wins, a total many predicted would not even be reached this season, let alone in half a season.
"We're in a good position," head coach Jeff Hornacek said. "Obviously, we weren't picked to do this well. We're halfway through the season, but it's a long season. These guys can't think that we can just duplicate that first half by showing up the second half. It's going to be a lot of hard work."
The Suns' success, at least thus far, can be traced back to the summer, when Hornacek and his entire staff coached the team's entry in the Las Vegas Summer League. That set the tone, as did having veteran P.J. Tucker plus regular rotation players Marcus and Markieff Morris on the team, which finished 6-1, losing to Golden State in the championship game.
From there, the chemistry continued to grow. From training camp in Flagstaff, to rallying together following the trade of Marcin Gortat only days before the start of the season, to an opening night home victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, one of two early season wins over the fourth-best team in the league.
"Our staff and I are probably less surprised than most because we put this team together. We thought it had a chance to be pretty decent," GM Ryan McDonough said. "I think the biggest surprise was how quickly everything came together. To come out of the gate 5-2, to have Goran (Dragic) and Eric (Bledsoe) play so well together and play so unselfishly, where they're both competing at an all-star level, I think that was a pleasant surprise. You never know how long guys are going to come together and play well together. Sometimes it takes awhile. Sometimes it never happens.
"But for us to be pretty good and competitive, even against the top teams in the league from day one has been a pleasant surprise."
Hornacek agreed.
"The big surprise is the way the guys have really kind of meshed together. They've got a good camaraderie amongst themselves," he said. "I've been very proud of our bench guys in term of when they're not in the game they're cheering for the guys out on the court. You always need that to help the chemistry.
"We've gotten contributions from just about everyone in different types of ways. That's why we're probably doing better than expected."
Sure, there have been frustrating losses, bad losses even (twice to Sacramento and once to Utah at home). But then there are the wins over Golden State and at the Los Angles Clippers, not to mention the close defeats to Oklahoma City and twice to San Antonio (by a combined 10 points).
Again, not much was expected from this Suns team. They, however, are not about to apologize for their success, which currently has them seeded seventh in the Western Conference.
"I think if you asked us before the year, we would've been happy with that number," said McDonough of a projected 48-win total. "At the same time we think there is still room for growth. We're happy to get Alex Len back and contributing for us now; looking forward to getting Eric Bledsoe back later this year. So, we're going to keep going and see if we can get better in the second half of the year."

In an offbeat enclave on the edge of DUMBO called Vinegar Hill, this intimate eatery has been a hit with Brooklynites since the day it first fired up its burners in 2008. Foodies trek out to the rustic-chic dining room for well-prepared seasonal food, the cozy ambience, and expertly prepared cocktails. Favorites from the small menu include the moist, crispy-skinned cast-iron chicken and the giant pork chop. The homey, vintage-y decor and the clientele are quintessential modern-urban Brooklyn. Brunch is served on the weekends. If you can't get in here, check out Vingar Hill House's nearby spin-off, Hillside, at 70 Hudson Avenue.

Rene's most-used iPhone and iPad apps of 2011
My most-used apps of 2011 are probably the built in iPhone and iPad Safari browser, Mail client, and anything and everything Siri can now easily and instantly manage for me like Reminders, Calendars, Alarms, etc. But that's mundane, boring, and way too Spock for a list like this. So if I take the defaults off the table and focus only on the App Store fare, here's what I spent most of my time with this year.
I use Twitter a lot. I try every new client that comes out and I use several at a time for different things. I read a lot in Twitterriffic due to the unified timeline. I still occasionally compose in Birdhouse for things I'm mulling but haven't completed yet. I love just scrolling through Twittelator Neue for the sheer eye candy of it. Instagram is also good for sharing pics to Twitter. But for most of the year I stuck with Twitter for iPhone for my heavy lifting -- checking @mentions and quickly firing off replies. Recently, when Twitter remodeled for what I can only imagine is the new, Britney Spears-following user, I remodeled as well -- to Tweetbot. While it looks significantly different from Loren Brichter's Tweetie, the original basis for Twitter for iPhone, Tweetbot works in a similar enough way that's it become my go-to Twitter app.
I've always watched a ton of TV. I leave it on while I work as background noise, and if there's anything that competes with gadgets for my geek love, it's story -- characters through conflict coming to conclusion. Like many others, I cut my cable TV off this year and went all in on apps. I use Air Video to watch almost everything I already have on my hard-drive, automagically transcoding it on the fly and beaming it over AirPlay to my Apple TV. I use a bunch of Canadian TV network apps for watching new shows, namely Global, CTV, and Citytv. Despite their inexplicable spiral into business insanity this year, however, I've been watching more and more Netflix. It's older stuff, but it's a lot of stuff, with no annoying ads, and a lot of complete seasons of shows. In addition to re-watching the best of Buffy and Angel, I've plowed through Mad Men, The Unit, and a bunch of other great shows.
I don't listen to as many podcasts as I used to. The more time I spend writing the less time I have to read, and now the more time I spend producing and hosting podcasts means the less time I have to listen and watch them. That's not entirely a bad thing; several of the shows I used to listen have grown to the point where they now seem a tad out of touch with the subjects I enjoyed, or the personalities have somehow decided that interrupting with lame jokes is more important than letting the interesting, informed guest actually finish a sentence. (And yeah, I'm as guilty of all that as the next podcaster -- we often find most annoying in others the traits that we find most annoying in ourselves). But I do have to keep track of all the Mobile Nations shows and make sure all the feeds have the right episodes, all the downloads are working, all the art is showing up, etc. etc. and when I do have time to listen to something like Hypercritical or The Sci-Fi Cast, I use Instacast and now Instacast HD
Twitter has replaced a lot of what I used to use RSS for -- finding interesting stuff to read and post about -- but it hasn't replaced everything. I still check RSS daily. I'll use The Early Edition when I want to sip latte and skim the news, or Flipboard when I want to check out a social stream of news. For churning through a ton of feeds, however, Reeder for iPhone and Reeder for iPad are still my workhorses. They sync with Google Reader quickly and the interfaces are nearly frictionless. Anything that's super-interesting gets mailed off or saved to [Instapaper], and I get back to work.
Whether it's on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Windows, whenever I'm setting up new a device or computer -- which I do often -- the first thing I do is log into iCloud, then install Dropbox, then install 1Password, and then I'm pretty much done. 1Password hooks into Dropbox to keep all my logins, credit cards, accounts, and other information secure yet easily accessible. It also generates super-strong passwords when I need them. I have to keep track of so many accounts that there's just no way I'd be able to do it without 1Password. Once that's done, I'll get Screens, Skype, and my other go-to utilities up and running.

Rene's most-used iPhone and iPad apps of 2011
There are several good ones. I've been using 1Password on Mac for ages so it was a natural fit on iOS for me.
I'm going to have to go with Rene on this. Having come to iOS by way of BlackBerry and Windows Mobile before that, I was afraid I'd never find the right sort of password manager again.
1Password had already been a mainstay on my MacBook and the instant integration made it a no-brainer for the way I work.
Rene, as a fellow Canafian, I'd be interested to know what kind of wireless/Internet plan you have that allows you to meet your TV addiction via the web.... I've been thinking of cutting my cable as well, but not sure if I'd have to up the ante on home Internet (currently capped at 60GB).
I have $30/6GB on iPhone, $35/5GB on iPad, and I used to have unlimited broadband (business account) on Videotron cable, but I recently "upgraded" to a faster connection capped at 300GB. :(
Currently, Safari. I use Elements or Markdown Mail to write posts sometimes, but the Wordpress app still doesn't do it for me so Safari it is.
How would you compare Lastpass to 1Password?

Kinect is being offered at $149.99 by Microsoft, which has started taking direct preorders for the Xbox 360's new motion-sensing accessory. This confirms listings noticed last week at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart that Microsoft had previously suggested were speculative.
As recently as yesterday, Microsoft representatives were insisting that all prices on retailer Web sites were "placeholders". Microsoft's retail listing for Kinect does note that preorders are covered by the site's "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" so if the price is changed before launch, those preordering would pay the lowest price at which it was available during the preorder period.
Kinect--pronounced "connect"-- allows gamers to interact with the Xbox without using a controller. Instead, the stereo cameras and microphones allow the use of voice- and gesture-based commands. This works both in-game and for the Xbox menu system, as well as for music and video playback, Microsoft claims.
The motion-sensing peripheral, formally named and dated at E3 last week was first shown off at E3 2009 under the codename Natal. So far, 15 titles have been confirmed for launch, among them first-party minigame collections, third-party fitness titles, and a new Sonic The Hedgehog game. Further support after launch is promised by Lucasarts, Q? Entertainment, THQ, and more.
Contacted by GameSpot UK, Microsoft did not comment on EU pricing, simply saying that "Kinect will launch in Europe, the Middle East and Africa in November 2010."
