That's great! You must have been so proud of yourself!Tigger_the_Wing wrote:I was sure I'd told this before, but here we go. It was one of those rare occasions when the right words arrived at the right time instead of hours later (you know how that feels!)
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I'll begin…
Once upon a time I was travelling on a bus to the city centre from an Eastern (=wealthy) suburb of Adelaide.
The seat I was in was at the front of the bus, but faced backwards.
After a while, an elderly lady got on and started to chat. She clocked my accent and asked the usual questions; how long I'd been in Australia, why I'd come, did I like it, how long I had planned to come to Australia… All this at a raised volume because she was very, very deaf.
The whole bus by this time was silently following our conversation. (Remember, facing backwards I could see them all; a dozen or so people and there was the usual mix of half-a-dozen different races).
I confessed that, although I had made friends I had dreaded coming, indeed had always wanted NEVER to come, because all I'd heard about Australia was the horrible heat, the horrible poisonous animals and the horrible people.
So she asks, in a stage whisper that could have been heard in Sydney:
"You mean the Abos?"
Shocked, I replied. "No! The racist bigots".
She didn't speak to me for the rest of the journey, but it didn't matter; I was getting approving looks from the rest of the passengers!

That's not how I write it. Despite it's most glorious namesake, I've learnt Babel Fish isn't that good at translating more than one word. I usually just ask my mom. Isn't that what they're for?

The forums are mainly North American. I reckon it's roughly a 60:20:20 split between Americans and Canadians:British:Aussies among the regular posters.
Tigger_the_Wing wrote:There are quite a lot of Americans on these forums, but one would expect that. The site was started by a chap in the US because of peculiarly US problems with a peculiarly US education system. Also, there are more English-speaking North Americans (USA and Canada) than there are British and Australian people. There are a scattering of people here for whom English is not the first language, but there are Pastafarian sites in other languages so I expect most non-English speakers go to one of them.
I expect that the reason more Australians than others are contributing to this thread is cultural; of the four countries I have mentioned, only Australia teaches Chinese in primary school and only Australia has close cultural ties with China and a lot of Chinese immigration. Many of my and my sons' friends are Chinese, whereas I knew very few Chinese people back home.
I am aware that by the end of this year there will probably be more people who can speak English in China than English speakers in any other country, even India.
May I ask where you are, Reki?

10 Ways to Live Happier, Saner, and Sweeter This Month
You know about the benefits of this super-grain, but chances are, it's stuck at your dinner table. Beller prizes a two-thirds-cup serving of quinoa, cooked veggies, and a touch of lemon juice for its antioxidants, protein, and healthy fat balance. "Carbs are something we overeat," says Beller. "At snack, you have parameters, so it's easier to avoid overeating then." Make a batch on Sunday, and divide into portions for the week ahead.
With it this cold even inside the house, we could all use a steaming snack. Settle down with one cup of low-sodium, microwavable black bean, lentil, or pea soup, and stir in a tablespoon of reduced fat shredded cheese. Beller recommends Dr. McDougall's Tetra Recart package, which requires no refrigeration and unlike canned soups, is BPA-free.
The Real Reason You're Always Cold

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
There were many stories of interest and importance featured in the pages of the Sun Advocate in 2012. The staff of the paper spent some time in the last week analyzing which stories had the most play, the most reader attention (in the paper and on-line) as well as some of the largest impacts on the area. Here are the top 10 of 2012.
1 The Seeley Fire
If there was something that dominated the summer's news across the state it was the fire season, and locally the Seeley Fire in particular dominated the news for a month. The ramifications of that disaster still continue to echo on the news line.
The fire began late in June in Seeley Canyon, an offshoot of Huntington Canyon in Emery County. It was a lightning-caused blaze and a hand crew was sent to battle it along with one helicopter. They came very close to having it under control when the biggest fire in the state at the time in Sanpete County flared up, and the helicopter was pulled away to fight that blaze which was threatening Fairview. The Seeley fire exploded within a few hours. Only two days after starting it was gobbling up hundreds of acres an hour.
The fire dominated the area for more than two weeks. Its presence caused the evacuation of Wattis, Clear Creek and Hiawatha. Pleasant Valley Days in Scofield, held around every July 4 was canceled and the area sealed off from outside traffic. Fire fighters from all over the west came to battle the blaze.
On the night of July 4, backfires were lit along the canyons and ridges west of Price and the fireworks from those fires became the beacon of the holiday. Fireworks of any kind were banned during this period, except those that were let off in Durrant Park near the USU Eastern Campus on Independence Day night. Almost everyone adhered to the ban because of the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, hundreds of fire fighters from around the west battled the blaze while local fire departments handled protecting structures in associated areas. Around 50,000 acres of forest and range land went up in smoke. But even as the fires smouldered in little pockets, late summer thunder showers poured water down onto the burn scar wiping out a lot of infrastructure in Huntington Canyon and taking the soil down to the rock on some mountain faces in that area. Miles of camping spaces and prime hiking area were destroyed between the fire and the floods and efforts to reclaim that area make it viable for public use will go on for years to come.
2 The Election
For the first time in over 80 years, the Democratic Party in Carbon County lost its dominance over the county commission when Republican Casey Hopes defeated Democrat Mikel Johnson on Nov. 6. This put Commissioner John Jones as the lone Democrat on the three member county board. Hopes will take office this week and along with present Republican Commissioner Jae Potter will take the reins of the county.
The county will also be entirely represented in the Utah State Legislature by a Republican member of the House when the body convenes on Jan. 28, 2013. Republican Jerry Anderson defeated three-time incumbent Democrat representative Christine Watkins by about 400 votes for the honor. While it was the first time in years that Carbon County would be represented by one representative rather than split in two, the district included a third of Duchesne County which went big for Anderson and numbers there outmatched the majority count from Carbon for Watkins. The county vote continued its support for Republican State Senator David Hinkins as it has in past elections.
Numbers in state and federal elections also were strongly Republican from the area, with no Democratic candidate getting a majority of the local vote.
3 The Masked Rapist
While there were a number of prominent crime stories in the area in 2012, with more murders committed than in many years past, the one crime story that dominated the news from almost beginning to end was that of the rapist who wore a clown mask while perpetrating his crime.
It began on Jan. 13 when a man broke into the apartment of a Wellington woman terrorized her, stole from her and then raped her before he left. The entire time he wore the mask. The report of the crime created a social media event in which rumors spread rapidly. By the end of the weekend rumors had the area in the grip of a crime spree by the same person. The upstate media even grabbed onto the situation and it was broadcast all over the state.
But despite the hype, the Wellington Police Department had gathered forensic evidence. On May 8, after that evidence was processed the department arrested Dwaine Shaw, 21, of that same town. He was charged with aggravated rape, aggravated forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated burglary and aggravated kidnapping.
In October, Shaw pleaded guilty to four felony charges in connection with the crime. And on Nov. 26 he was sentenced to not less than 15 years in prison for those crimes.
4 Helper's rebuild
Helper's ability to get CIB funding for worn out infrastructure dominated the news for the western Carbon County town for part of the year.
Helper officials were stunned by the news on May 5 that their city qualified for what was believed to be the largest single funding package in the history of the state's Permanent Community Impact Board. The CIB decided that Helper was eligible for up to $19.5 million in grant and loans to rebuild its water, sewer and storm drainage systems.
The city had done its homework and shown its commitment to the project. It had hired an engineering firm to assess the needs. Helper also raised its utility rates in advance of applying for the funds.
Parts of the city's underground infrastructure are 70 years old. Ceramic sewer lines and lead-jointed cast iron water lines are prone to repeated breakage. Flood waters after heavy rain routinely damage roads.
The CIB package offered $7 million in an outright grant, and $12.5 million as a combination of low interest and no-interest loans for water and sewer.
Helper has moved ahead on bond issues to finance the loans and is expected to begin the three-year project next spring. Roads will be torn up to install the new systems, and will be repaved as part of the rebuilding.
Top story 5. Local Guardsmen deploy.
For months local National Guardsmen knew they would be deploying to Afghanistan. In June 2012 it finally happened. The last time they had been deployed as a group was during the Iraq War in 2002.
All in all, 60 guardsmen from the area were given a hero's sendoff in June. There were ceremonies, a breakfast in their honor and other events surrounding their leaving the community first for Fort Bliss, Texas and then eventually onto the Asian country.
On June 12, a crowd of hundreds, many holding American flags, wished them well as they headed west on 100 North in Price atop fire trucks. The parade took on a carnival atmosphere as well wishers waved, bands played and people bade them farewell.
The members of the Guard unit were deployed to Afghanistan this fall and have been serving with distinction. In December a drive was organized to send packages of personal care items to the unit. They will return home sometime in 2013.
Top story 6. Price Police Chief retires.
Longtime Price Police Chief Alex Shilaos decided it was time to call it quits and retire in May.
Shilaos, who spent over four decades in police work and had been with the Price Police Department since 1987 said it was time for him to enjoy life even more, after serving in a number of law enforcement capacities in Utah and Colorado. He had been the chief for 25 years.
Within a few days the Price City Council named a Kevin Drolc the new police chief. Drolc had been the captain of the department and had spent 25 years with the department. Drolc moved from officer to Sergeant in 1990 and then Lieutenant in in 2003. Not long after he became the second in command of the department under Shilaos.
Top Story 7. Drought hits area, but not felt as much because of storage.
The winter of 2011-2012 had been one of the driest on record in the area, so consequently much of the talk in the area was about drought.
Over the years drought had been a common theme in Carbon County as the fight over water in even in good water years was hard. The winter of 2012 brought so little snow almost everyone was concerned. The central valley had only received snow twice in the winter, once a skiff and the other time about an inch. People were happy they didn't have to shovel, but plants and animals that count on that water began to get into trouble.
To top that off, the mountains that supply agricultural water for irrigation, as well as H2O for municipal and residential use, had snowpacks in some places 10 percent of normal. In some cases people were able to drive trucks up roads all winter long that had never been traversed that way in the winter by anyone's recollection.
Without good storage in reservoirs, it could have been a disaster. But Scofield and other bodies of water were flush from the year before, which was a banner year for snow pack. However as levels of water in storage facilities dropped through the long hot summer concerns began to crop up about the 2012-13 winter and how much snow would come.
The drought did contribute to very dry conditions and led to many naturally and man made wildfires ranging throughout the state and to some extent through the local area. After the Seeley fire in June, it was assumed that fire would be an even bigger problem late into the summer, but bans on open fires, fireworks and smoking, along with fewer dry thunderstorms, kept the flames at bay in the area.
As of the end of 2012, the snowpack in the Wasatch Plateau is looking up the last couple of weeks. What happens after the beginning of 2013 could signal a good or poor water year for the next summer.
Top story 8. County building controversy.
While plans and meetings about building a new county complex had been going on for a long time, in the fall of 2012 the issue came to mean a great deal more than it had in the past.
The current Carbon County Courthouse was built in 1957. The county commission determined some time ago that it needed to be replaced. However, in addition to those that opposed building a new facility at all, another group came out to oppose the construction because of where the commission had been planning to build it, at 100 North and 800 East.
On Nov. 13 a meeting was held for people to talk about the situation in the small meeting room at the present facility. The room was packed with people who cited a number of reasons either to not build it or to build a new one on the present site. Some said the economy was too week to afford a new $16 million building while others said that the courthouse should remain on Main Street in Price.
Commissioners countered with the fact that a lot of the money will come as low cost loans and even some grant money to the tune of $6 million. More importantly they pointed out that there was a time clock ticking on using the money, and that it would go away if they didn't get started under the deadlines they were under.
In October the city had voted to give the county two orphan parcels of land near the site where they plan to build the new facility.
Another call was also heard from young people as they rallied to see that a county recreation center be built before a new administration building.
As of the new year the plans are to go ahead and build the new complex.
Top story 9. School district sees increase in student numbers.
While many rural school districts in the state of Utah are finding the numbers of students in their elementary schools dropping, Carbon County School District realized an increase in numbers this year, particularly in the Kindergarten through Third Grade levels.
Initially in August, the district knew there would be an increase in numbers overall, with Castle Heights Elementary showing the biggest growth. The only school to decline in enrollment was Wellington Elementary.
While the district counted on growth, many were surprised by the numbers. Those new numbers indicated, if students stick around until graduation, a big bulge coming out in a decade to 13 years from now. Three of the largest classes which would be at Carbon High School at the same time would put the numbers in the school at nearly 900.
Top story 10. Carbon High Girls Basketball team advances to 3A quarterfinals
Making the playoffs has become a regular thing for the Carbon High Lady Dinos Basketball team and this past season was no different.
After a regular season record of 16-4 and a Region 12 championship, the Lady Dinos headed into the 3A Tournament on a hot streak having won 11 of their last 12 games in the season. Lead by a group of seven seniors, including 3A Most Valuable Player Miranda Averett, the Lady Dinos defeated Ogden 56-35 in their first round game held at Carbon High. Advancing to the 3A quarterfinals held at Dixie State in St. George, the Lady Dinos were unable to continue their streak of good games when matched up against other teams, including Judge Memorial and Morgan, who combined to go 20-2 in their respective regions.
The Lady Dinos fell to Judge Memorial 55-39 in the 3A quarterfinal game, which saw Judge Memorial star Kailie Quinn help her team pull away from the Lady Dinos in the second half with a career-high 31 points. In the consolation bracket, the Lady Dinos battled in a close contest with Morgan but again fell victim to an opposing player playing a career game, as McKenzie Schenk scored 26 points to help push Morgan past Carbon, 55-50.
Despite the tough finish to the season, the Lady Dinos completed the 2011-12 season with an overall record of 16-7 and were champions of Region 12.

What is the Future of Digital Audio Advertising? Solving Audio Ad Tracking and Highlights from IAB Digital Audio Agency Day
Since the advent of the radio in the 1930's, millions of us have gathered around this social experience through our favorite music or spoken word content. The thrill of participating in a new music format launch, agreeing or not with your favorite talk show host or being glued to the end of that World Series game are all experiences which have stood the test of time. Radio has been with us through good times and bad, helped us with national & local emergencies and still plays a critical role in the lives of most Americans.
Similar to television, the broadcast radio model continues to serve a wonderful purpose of distributing content in cars, offices & homes across the country. Contrary to some reports, offline radio remains a healthy media channel with more than 230 million people/week listening to some form of audio content. However, like many other mediums with IP based delivery now, the definition of "radio" is quickly changing and providing audiences & advertisers with many unique benefits/options - broadcast station streams or customized channels, listening to your favorite radio station far outside your home market, listening to your favorite webcaster, interactivity within the experience to thumbs up or down a song and the list goes on. We are living in transformational times as technology & the web has driven a ton of innovation for audio centric audiences.
The ad supported online audio space has been a gradual build however we have witnessed a lot of activity over the last 6 months. To summarize a few: Pandora became a public company & redesigns its media player in HTML5 format, Slacker purchased AOL Music from CBS Radio, Spotify launched its service in the U.S., Clear Channel re-launched its IHeart Radio product with a 2-day event in Las Vegas, CBS Radio added rich content & personalization to its Radio.com player, and even Facebook jumped into the game with its announcements on becoming a media hub. A lot of energy from the Publisher side to win audiences in the early stages of this channel and we will look back on 2011 as being a critical year of development for online audio. Much of these moves are being triggered by the explosion of mobile smartphone & tablet deployments in the hands of consumers. These devices have been a large platform for online audio publishers to build new "apps" and distribute their content in multiple ways. As the mobile space continues to grow, it will provide a platform for online audio growth as well.
Given the rapid growth trend of audio consumption online and on mobile platforms, the IAB established an Audio Committee in 2009 to help educate an inquisitive marketplace about industry standards and best practices for using digital audio as an effective ad platform. Just a few weeks back on a Monday afternoon, the IAB hosted "Streaming Audio for Agencies Day" for a standing-room-only collection of media executives, researchers and content publishers in New York. The centerpiece for the day was the release of the IAB's "Digital Audio Advertising Overview" (click here to download your own copy), which served as a backdrop for several panel discussions, research presentations, case studies and Q&A sessions with leaders in the space. The afternoon was a fast-paced, no-holds-barred glimpse into an eager marketplace seeking the straight skinny about size, composition and engagement levels of this emerging audience, and how to most effectively target.
Tidbits that moved the Noisemeter:
- 9 out of the top 10 Retailers in the U.S. are including digital audio ads today in their media mix
- Most listeners to digital audio can be demo and geo targeted, even down to zip codes
- Agency planners and buyers want to see radio and streaming audio listenership measured in a uniform way…with identical metrics
- Streaming radio listenership is moving to mobile devices and in-car dashboards at a very rapid pace (Pandora > 60% of listenership on mobile devices)
- According to Arbitron and Edison Research, approximately 57 Million people "listened to Online Radio in the past week" (January, 2011)
- "Click-and-buy" on mobile devices is becoming a behavioral reality
Listen to audio highlights from "IAB Streaming Audio for Agencies Day" here:
It was apparent to most of us in the room that the power of the audio ad to move and activate listeners is as strong as ever…especially when a listener reaction can be measured with a tap or click on a simultaneously-served display ad. What we're beginning to learn is that when that ad execution plays in a self-selected, personalized listening environment, brands AND listeners benefit. And now, the IAB Digital Audio Committee is asking you to join us. Whether you are on the brand side, the planning or creative side of an agency, traditional or digital, network or content creator - we need you to help us build this growing medium online. To find out more about the IAB and its critical industry-building Committees and Councils, ping Luke or Michael to find out more about membership opportunities.
Wishing you a fruitful Q4 and start to the Holiday season.

Please join us at Congregation Shaarey Zedek (map) for an elegant evening featuring a strolling buffet and inspiring presentations. Our guest speaker will be Rudy Giuliani, the 107th Mayor of New York City.
The Holocaust Memorial Center was built as a living memorial to the Holocaust—one that commemorates the victims, honors the survivors and transforms attitudes each day. Listen to the news and you know that the lessons of the Holocaust have yet to be learned. Person by person, school by school, 65,000 visitors each year take home important messages about the consequences of prejudice and racism; and the price of indifference, apathy and silence.
At our 31st Anniversary Dinner, we will honor Jackie and Larry Kraft. The Kraft family's commitment to the Holocaust Memorial Center began with Larry's parents Mignon and Eugene Kraft, whose $1 million donation in 1999 jumpstarted the campaign to construct our Farmington Hills campus. Jackie and Larry have continued this legacy of generosity as stalwart supporters of the Holocaust Memorial Center and many other organizations in our community. Most recently, they assisted families harmed by last summer's flood, providing mattresses to those in need. We recognize these caring community leaders for their devotion to helping others and to combatting hatred, prejudice and indifference.
We have promised our survivors and the world to never be silent again. For more information, click here, call 248.536.9605, or email email@example.com.

There are many lovely things about fall fashionÂ--cozy sweaters, chic coats, super-soft cashmere scarvesÂ--but our favorite aspect has to be the footwear. The moment we get to switch out our studded sandals and slinky stilettos for sleek boots is always undeniably thrilling. This year, that transition is even more exciting that usual, thanks to Vince Camuto's beautifully designed boots! The fall collection is truly noteworthy and offers a sensational selection of elegant knee-high boots, mid-calf lace-ups, and stylish ankle booties galore. Plus, each pair is impeccably finished with subtly luxurious details, like sleek zippers or perfectly proportioned buckles. All in all, these must-have boots are both refined and completely current, so whichever pair (or two! or three! or more!) you choose, you're certain to look fabulous all season long!
Quale ($149)
No matter if you want to wear something sophisticated and understated or feel like going for an edgier ensemble, this neutral cuffed boot is the perfect pick. Pair it with a black maxi dress to channel the former, or wear it with a patterned dress and leather moto jacket for a sexy outfit that's spot-on for your next Girls' Night Out.
Fays ($198)
The second we saw the lace-up detailing on these glossy black boots, we knew we'd have to have them. We'd style them with gray moto jeans for a laidback look or with tights and shorts for a chic-city-girl ensemble.
Amber ($118)
Peep-toe booties are always popular with our favorite stylesetters and we think they'd love this pair in particular. Their rich blue hue is unexpected and delightful, making them a smart accent piece to wear with cropped black pants or an LBD for a sizzling night out on the town.
Briva ($198)
Functional and fashionable, these black leather boots are ideal for adding intrigue to any ensemble. Buckles and zippers play up the boot's sex appeal, making it evening appropriate when paired with a black lace frock, while a wedge heel renders it comfortable enough to wear with your everyday staples.
Fivvy ($198)
A model-off-duty staple, these brown buckle boots strike the ideal balance between stylish and functional. Take a note from some of your favorite willowy muses, and wear them with skinny jeans and a blazer for an effortless, go-anywhere look.
Alician ($198)
These taupe suede boots offer a subtly stylish way to incorporate the military trend into your cold-weather wardrobe. Additionally, the slight platform heel and bold gold buckle makes them the perfect pick for transitioning any look from day to night.
Karena ($198)
One of Vince Camuto's most popular pairs, this equestrian-style boot even comes complete with the Camuto crest. Additionally, we love the use of black and brown leather together that allows these hot trotters to seamlessly mix in with all your neutral favorites for a dose of Grand Prix chic.
Lexine ($229)
These brushed suede boots are sleek and sophisticated, making them an excellent complement to fall's minimalist trend. Pair them with a black leather skirt and silky white blouse for a chic and directional daytime ensemble.
Fantasa ($159)
Fantastic, flat lace-up boots are a must-have for any well-equipped wardrobe: they're both versatile and comfortable. This menswear-inspired iteration is an excellent option, as it will look equally cool with a flirty floral dress and woolly tights or paired with your favorite skinnies.

For concatenation, copying and comparison, couldn't you use strcat(), strcpy and strcmp()?
(Did you misspell?)
To chomp, why not do exactly what the strcpy function does, but instead of exitting when the null char is reached, exit the loop when the newline is reached and then stick a null char at the end of the copied string (it depends how you do it though).
...and for the space thing, do you mean in 1 string contain all spaces or split text into strings delimited by spaces?Code:while (*src != '\n') * *dest++ = *src++; *dest = '\0';
If it's one big string, I'm not sure...
If it's splitted, well I think you'd know how to do that....so yeah I don't know either.

Crew to hold African Heritage Day on October 28
The Columbus Crew will hold African Heritage Day on Sunday, October 28, as the Black & Gold take on Toronto FC in the final match of the 2012 MLS regular season.
The event is an initiative to celebrate African Heritage in Columbus and to unite the community in a soccer-filled afternoon that everyone can enjoy.
The day will start with a pre-game tailgate at noon in the general parking lot in front of Crew Stadium, which will feature authentic African food and music.
Following the 4:00 p.m. match between the Crew and Toronto FC, the Final of the seventh annual African Cup USA will take place on the Crew Stadium field.
A video from Cameroonian Columbus Crew midfielder Tony Tchani will be shown prior to the African Cup Final, welcoming everyone to African Heritage Day.
African Cup USA is an annual three-day soccer tournament that has taken place in Columbus for the past six years.
The tournament aims to unite the local African community through soccer, to grow the sport in the community and to provide amateur athletes with an elite tournament to showcase their skills.
This year, the Africa Cup USA Final will be played between teams representing the countries of Ethiopia and Djibouti.

The Blueshirts kick off a four game road trip this week.
Round two against the rival Islanders is on the slate for Tuesday night. The Rangers fell 4-2 to the Isles last month at Nassau Colliseum in a penalty ridden affair off the heels of a rusty return from Europe.
Keep an eye on: NYR Marian Gaborik and Brandon Dubinsky. Gaborik has looked dynamic with the puck so far this season making his presence known. When the puck hits his stick, he's taking it to the net and shining with his latest linemates Derek Stepan and Artem Anisimov. Gaborik leads the team with nine goals. Dubinsky scored his first goal of the season on Thursday and was back to his chippy battling ways along the boards. Perhaps the untimely penalty plague has finally passed.
NYI John Tavares and Goaltending triangle. Tavares leads the Isles in points (13), goals (8) and powerplay goals (4). Tavares had a hat trick to lead the Isles to victory over the Rangers last time around. The 2009 first round draft pick is off to a strong start this season. The Isles continue to play musical chairs in net to ride the hot glove with injury plagued Rick DiPietro and inconsistent rookie Al Montoya and veteran Evgeni Nabokov.
The Rangers then head to Montreal to take on the Canadiens who they defeated 5-3 earlier this month at the Garden. The Habs have most of next week off at home following a 2-1 overtime victory over the Predators in Nashville on Saturday. Max Paccioretty scored in overtime while Peter Budaj made 25 saves. The Habs have won six of their last ten games.
Keep an eye on: PK Subban and Sean Avery. Sparks, bodies and verbal jabs are bound to fly.
Upcoming: @ Islanders, Nov. 15, 7 p.m.; @ Canadiens, Nov. 19, 7 p.m.

|K-9 Assists in Two Tuesday Drug Busts
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 27 April 2013 08:00
Two Tuesday evening drug busts in Boone, thanks in great measure to a Boone K-9 officer. During the early evening hours of last, Narcotics Investigators with the Boone Police Department and the Ashe County Sheriff's Office ended a large-scale drug investigation with the arrest of a Georgia man.
Officers learned that a methamphetamine trafficker from the Atlanta Georgia area was making a large delivery to a location within the Town of Boone. The agencies planned to intercept this methamphetamine shipment and arrest the suspect, identified as Mauricio "Mario" Baltazar of Lake City, Georgia. Boone PD and Ashe deputies, joined by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Homeland Security, utilized Boone Police K-9 Maus and her handler Officer J. Warren, with Maus was used to search Baltazar's vehicle. Maus alerted officers to the presence of drugs inside the vehicle and approximately (1/2) pound of crystal methamphetamine was found and seized—a street value of $22,000. Baltazar was charged with 2-counts of Trafficking in Methamphetamine and is currently lodged in the Watauga County Jail under a $75,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on May 28th.
On the same evening, just after 9, Boone officers again called on Warren and K9 Maus after Officer R. Blevins conducted a traffic stop for speeding and an equipment violation. The driver, identified as 19-year old Jerry Dean Osborne of 185 Village Drive, Apartment 1410, Wilkesboro, was suspected to be carrying controlled substances in his vehicle, causing Warren and Maus to be called to the scene to assist. Maus lead officers to search the trunk of the vehicle, which revealed approximately (1/2) pound of marijuana and a book bag containing over $20,000 in cash, with Boone Narcotics Investigators called in, saying they had reason to believe Osborne was in Boone to distribute marijuana, and that the money was the proceeds of illegal drug sales. Jerry Dean Osborne was arrested and charged with the Felony Possession with Intent to Sell and Deliver Marijuana, Felony Manufacture Marijuana by Packaging and Felony Maintaining a Vehicle to Keep a Controlled Substance. Osborne was lodged in the Watauga County Jail under a $3,000 Bond.

Faith at NWC
Home / Campus life
What makes a college a Christian college? At Northwestern, we believe it involves more than chapel—although we worship together as a community throughout the week. It's more than Bible studies and service projects, although our campus ministry program is one of the strongest in the country.
Here you'll explore every discipline through the lens of courageous, faithful Christianity. Your Northwestern education will transform not only your mind, but also your spirit, relationships and attitudes. We attract students who want to grow in their faith as they learn about God, the world, and diverse people and cultures. Our professors are committed Christians who will teach you to engage the world thoughtfully and with compassion.
Students who are Christians expect college will help them discover what God wants for their lives. How? At Northwestern you'll learn what you're most curious about and be challenged by professors and peers to reach your potential. Service opportunities and short-term mission trips will take you into the world to experience God among diverse people and cultures. What are you best at? And what does the world need most? Learning the answers will point you down the path God wants you to take.
Your Northwestern education will teach you about integrating your faith with your job as an economist, nurse or teacher. But you want to be a smart, Christ-like spouse, parent, and church or community leader too. That's why you want a whole education for your whole life—because leading a faithful life involves more than making a living.

CANTON An Ogdensburg man convicted of the drug-related murder of an elderly man in 2010 was sentenced Monday to 25 years to life in prison.
Anthony W. Lalonde, 32, was found guilty May 7 of first-degree robbery and second-degree murder in the death of Ralph E. Gene Lawton, 83. He steadfastly denied any role in the crime and remained defiant even as Judge Jerome J. Richards warned him that he would never see freedom again unless he showed remorse.
Lalonde replied that he would go to my cell every day with my head high knowing I didnt do this.
On Nov. 18, 2010, three masked men burst into Mr. Lawtons upstairs apartment at 930 Ford St., Ogdensburg, allegedly demanding cash and prescription pills. A scuffle ensued, and according to trial testimony, the victim bled to death from a ruptured aortic aneurysm when he was struck and pushed to the floor and his roommate, Guy C. Bartlett, 64, fell on him. He apparently did not put up much of a struggle.
Lalonde was tried together with codefendants Michael D. Durand, 30, and Michael S. Thorpe, 26, also Ogdensburg residents, who were acquitted of the same charges for lack of evidence placing them at the scene.
In St. Lawrence County Court on Monday morning, Mr. Lawtons daughter, Kathy Podolak, told of the great loss suffered by those who knew her father.
He filled our lives with love, magic and fun to the envy of all of our friends, Ms. Podolak said.
She said that on any given day her father would surprise the family by filling the pool with blow-up toys or kicking his shoe off to catch a fly ball during a softball game.
Addressing Lalonde, she said, You took from us our father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle and friend.
The tearful testimony brought a somber tone to the courtroom, but did not bring any admission or remorse from Lalonde.
I did not know Gene very well, but I knew of him, Lalonde said to Judge Richards. My heart goes out to his family, but I did not rob or murder Gene in any way.
The judge said he bent over backward for Lalonde, letting him know the consequences of life imprisonment if he continued to deny his involvement in the drug-related robbery rather than accepting a plea deal of 18 to 22 years.
During the trial, forensic evidence produced by Chief Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen indicated that Lalondes DNA could not be excluded from a glove found in the kitchen.
At that time, Ms. Nissen said, a scientist from the state police crime lab in Albany testified that there was a one in 51.23 million chance of a random individual matching the DNA profile attributed to Lalonde.
One of the most important pieces of evidence that we had in this case was that Mr. Lalondes DNA was found in the glove that was left behind at the scene, Ms. Nissen said.
Testimony revealed no DNA evidence linking Mr. Durand or Mr. Thorpe to the scene.
In court on Monday, Judge Richards reminded Lalonde of that fact.
You and I know that you were there, Judge Richards said. You can keep denying it and you can hang your hat on that and that is fine.
If Lalonde hopes ever to spend time with his family and friends outside prison walls, Judge Richards told him, he would have to prove to the parole board that he is remorseful for the crime he still refuses to admit.
Someday you are going to be a bitter, bitter man, when you realize that there is nowhere else to go but your cell every day, Judge Richards said.
But before he was read his sentences of 22 years for the robbery charge and 25 years to life in prison for the murder charge, to be served concurrently, Lalonde said, Im not going to admit to something I didnt do because Im scared of spending life in jail, not even after 10 years, Lalonde said.
In addition to his sentence in state prison, Lalonde was ordered to pay $2,590 in restitution.

MySQL implements an
B join_condition
B is set to depend on
A and all tables on which
A depends.
A is set to depend on all
tables (except
B) that are used
in the
LEFT JOIN condition.
LEFT JOIN condition is used to
decide how to retrieve rows from table
B. (In other words, any
condition in the
WHERE clause is not
All standard join optimizations are performed, with the exception that a table is always read after all tables on which it depends. If there is a circular dependence, MySQL issues an error.
All standard
WHERE optimizations are
If there is a row in
A that
matches the
WHERE clause, but there is
no row in
B that matches the
ON condition, an extra
B row is generated with all
columns set to
If you use
LEFT JOIN to find rows that
do not exist in some table and you have the following
in the
col_name IS
WHERE part, where
col_name is a column that is
declared as
NOT NULL, MySQL stops
searching for more rows (for a particular key combination)
after it has found one row that matches the
JOIN condition.
The implementation of
RIGHT JOIN is
analogous to that of
LEFT JOIN with the
roles of the tables reversed.
The join optimizer calculates the order in which tables should
be joined. The table read order forced by
JOIN or
STRAIGHT_JOIN helps the
join optimizer do its work much more quickly, because there
are fewer table permutations to check. Note that this means
that if you do a query of the following type, MySQL does a
full scan on
b because the
JOIN forces it to be read before
SELECT * FROM a JOIN b LEFT JOIN c ON (c.key=a.key) LEFT JOIN d ON (d.key=a.key) WHERE b.key=d.key;
The fix in this case is reverse the order in which
a and
b are listed in
FROM clause:
SELECT * FROM b JOIN a LEFT JOIN c ON (c.key=a.key) LEFT JOIN d ON (d.key=a.key) WHERE b.key=d.key;
For a
LEFT JOIN, if the
WHERE condition is always false for the
NULL row, the
JOIN is changed to a normal join. For example, the
WHERE clause would be false in the
following query if
t2.column1 were
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON (column1) WHERE t2.column2=5;
Therefore, it is safe to convert the query to a normal join:
SELECT * FROM t1, t2 WHERE t2.column2=5 AND t1.column1=t2.column1;
This can be made faster because MySQL can use table
t2 before table
t1 if
doing so would result in a better query plan. To provide a
hint about the table join order, use
STRAIGHT_JOIN. (See
Section 13.2.9, "SELECT Syntax".)

When using more than one left join, the first occurrence of NULL will cause latter fields to be reported NULL with the USING(field) clause.
instead of :
t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (id) LEFT JOIN t3 USING (id)
t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON (t1.id = t2.id) LEFT JOIN t3 ON (t1.id=t3.id)

Outer joins can work inefficiently when joining columns are in different character sets.
In my case query worked very slow when "the outer" table had utf8 joining columns, and a second table had latin1 ones.
Though, query worked fast when the outer table had latin1 joining columns, and a second table had utf8 ones.
Join was efficient in any direction when columns that tables outer joined were the same character set, ether both latin1, or both utf8.

It is a common mistake to think that there is no difference putting the conditions in the ON clause and the WHERE clause.
well, there is a big difference. The following post explains it with examples:

got the same pb as Mark Malakanov and the same solution - extremely slow query during a left outer join...it happens that the join was done on one column defined with CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin and the other one without character set specification ( even if by default it was utf-8 ) - changing column definition solved the problem

Left Join - Left Join is used to retrieve data from one table independent from the availability of data in another table.
Ex - We have a table student(id, name) values (1, 'Ram'),( 2, 'Shyam');
another table marks(id,marks,semester) values(1,400,'First');
We have to list all students from table student and marks of those student which are in marks table
If we write a query without join - "select A.*,B.marks from student as A, marks as B where A.id=B.marks"
Result is - 1,Ram,400 it give only one student which is available in both table.
If we have to list all student from the student table then we should use join. our query will be -
"select A.*, B.marks from student as A left join marks as B on A.id=B.id"
Result is :
id Name Marks
1 Ram 400
2 Shyam Null
it list all records from table student independent of table B

Music students might have to conduct rehearsals in the wrestling room for a few weeks and lunches might have to be catered in from an off-site cafeteria, but the Glenwood Community School District is set on opening its new high school on Wednesday, Aug. 26.
That's the plan - at least for now.
Three communities in Mills County are making their final preparations for RAGBRAI.
The Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa will pass through the county Sunday, the first day of the ride, as bicyclists make their way from Council Bluffs to Red Oak for their first overnight stop.
SILVER CITY - It wasn't your typical summer vacation experience.
More than 100 youngsters from western Iowa and eastern Nebraska converged on Mills County last week to experience first-hand what it was like to be a pioneer on the Mormon Pioneer Trail in the mid 1800s. The walkers are all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
A changing of the guard is about to take place at the First National Bank branch office in Glenwood.
On Friday, Patrick Ross will retire as president / branch manager, putting a formal end to a financial career that began 40 years ago. Taking over for Ross will be Doug Meggison, a lending officer and vice president at the bank for nearly 21 years.
"I'm of age (65) to retire," Ross said during a recent interview. "Cheryll, my wife, is retired and we're wanting to do some traveling, so I just felt now is the time."
In these times of economic recession and budget belt-tightening, Mills County is lowering its tax asking for next year, according to the county's 2009-2010 budget.
The county's tax asking is down slightly from last year's $5,652,813 to $5,486,731 this year, meaning Mills County's $12,461,544 budget is about $400,000 less than last year.
Not bad considering the current state of the economy and the fact the county didn't have to eliminate any programs, said Joe Blankenship, president of the Mills County Board of Supervisors.
About a year ago, Gary Cochran had an idea.
Cochran's 97-year-old grandmother had just passed away and his children, ages 2 and 4 at the time, didn't really know their great-grandmother or really who she was from looking at old photos.

This course examines the individual and collective factors that affect the decisions that managers make in their everyday work lives. The approach is descriptive and prescriptive, that is, the focus is on how managers actually make decisions, as well as how they ought to make decisions to maximize organizational and personal outcomes.
The course is divided into two main sections. The first section deals with individual-level processes that influence managers' decisions. The second section considers collective (that is, group or organizational) forces that affect managers' decisions.

Video: Candidates Square Off in Buffalo Mayoral Debate - Part 2
Video: Mayoral Debate
BUFFALO - The three men at the podium didn't place nice on Tuesday.
In the third mayoral debate, Democratic incumbent Byron Brown spent a considerable amount of time and energy fighting off verbal jabs from Democrat Bernie Tolbert and Republican Sergio Rodriguez, both of whom continued their aggressive campaigns as heavy underdogs in both the polls and campaign-finance department.
WEB EXTRA: You can watch a portion of the debate in the video player above.
Brown set the tone early by uttering the word "progress" four times in his opening statement, but his challengers used the rest of the evening to dispute his initiatives in Buffalo and blast him for leading a city they say has rampant crime, poverty and a broken public school system.
Rodriguez made his criticism personal.
"I attribute the success of the Waterfront to Mayor Higgins," he said, pausing. "Or, rather, Congressman Higgins."
Of course, Rodriguez was referencing President Barack Obama's gaffe during his visit to the University at Buffalo on Thursday, in which he accidentally mixed up Brown and Congressman Brian Higgins's respective political roles. Rodriguez, who will await the winner of the Democratic primary (set for Sept. 10) in the general election in November, seemed particularly aggressive, often straying from his script to crack jokes and keep the mood informal. At one point, after Brown offered a short response to a question, he asked the moderator if he could use the extra allotted time for himself.
That's not to say that Tolbert didn't go on the offensive himself, though. On the issue of crime, Tolbert said Brown's administration has its "head in the sand."
He also took issue with a panelist's assertion that his campaign has lacked energy. Tolbert's television ads have heavily criticized Brown's handling of the city, and he also used Obama's gaffe in a recent ad.
"My mother accuses me of being married to the city, and she says, 'you ought to think about a divorce or taking some time off'," Tolbert said. "As your mayor, you won't find anybody more energetic everyday."
That husband-wife analogy elicited a quick one-liner from Brown.
"Well, if Mr. Tolbert has been married to the city, he's sure been an absentee husband. Because before he came back to Buffalo to run for mayor, I haven't seen him anywhere doing anything."
Earlier on Tuesday, Rodriguez unveiled a 12-point plan to stop crime in the city and refutes the mayor's claims that crime has dropped during his tenure. Both he and Tolbert mentioned the FBI's classification of Buffalo as the country's 11th-most dangerous city in the United States.
Rodriguez also continued to tout statistics that he said showed an increase in gun-related homicides and shootings.
"I have heard so many figures from Mr. Rodriguez that are all wrong, I'm glad he's not a math teacher in the Buffalo Public Schools," Brown said. "The kids wouldn't be learning very much."
Speaking of schools, Rodriguez once again said he would seek full control of the Buffalo Public School system if elected mayor, mirroring the situation in New York City with Michael Bloomberg. Tolbert said he wouldn't push for full control, but he still criticized Brown for not having enough involvement in the district, which is independent of the mayor's office.
"Unlike the current administration, I'm not afraid to step up and be a leader and face the fact that nothing's more important in our city right now than the future and education of our children," Tolbert said.
Make sure to watch Channel 2 News at Six on Wednesday. Investigative Post Editor Jim Heaney will put the candidate's claims to the truth test. Heaney was in the audience at Tuesday's debate and will let you know what was factual and what was not in a special report, Wednesday at six.

MARCY, NY - As the former NY State Comptroller, Alan Hevesi once famously stated ,"I think there's such a level of deception that I think we have to bring in adult supervision" in calling for the finances of Erie County to be placed under the stewardship of a control board.
But it turned out Hevesi was the one who needed to be watched, eventually convicted and sentenced to serve up to four years in prison, for accepting gifts and campaign contributions from people trying to do business with the state pension fund, which he controlled.
One week ago, inside the medium security Mid-State correctional facility in Oneida County Hevesi, (AKA inmate #11R1334) appeared before a three-member parole board.
It was the second chance for Hevesi, now approaching age 73, to get out of prison. His first bid for parole was denied after a previous parole board found him less than contrite.
It was something Hevesi addressed right off the bat to this board admitting, "I am guilty in what I was charged. A year ago I tried to minimize that..and that is what I thought would be helpful to me," according to a transcript of the hearing obtained by WGRZ-TV.
Hevesi credited his three adult children with helping him see the light.
"They verbally beat me up, because I was in denial about what really occurred," Hevesi told the Parole Board.
In the transcript of the hearing, Hevesi speaks of accepting perks from everyone from representatives of foreign governments, to powerful Wall Street financiers, seeking to curry a favorable investment by the state pension fund of which he was the sole trustee.
He also indicates running with that crowd changed him.
"I got arrogant...I was a big shot in my own head....because I said I am entitled to some of those perks too," were among the admissions he made in seeking parole which was granted.
The 21 page transcript also gives insight to the Albany of the day, when Hevesi was asked whether --while he was taking contributions from those seeking to do business with the state--it ever raised questions in his own mind that what he was doing was wrong.
"It was standard operating procedure...it happens a lot...Is it justified? no...it creates terrible conflicts...I ignored those"
The transcript does not reveal some things.
While it indicates Hevesi has lined up a job doing work for an elder abuse program, the name of his potential employer was redacted, as was the address of where he plans to live...although
several New York City media outlets have reported that Hevesi will live with his son, current NYS Assemblyman Alan Hevesi (D-Queens).
The names of those who wrote letters on his behalf were also blacked out, so we don't know if they include any current government officials.
The transcript also reveals that Hevesi has spent his entire 19 months of incarceration in protective custody,...and that he got written up, once, for changing the channel on a TV without first getting permission from a corrections officer, who he then got mouthy with.
Hevesi is expected to be released from prison just before Christmas, and will be able to collect on two state pensions, worth $166,000 annually.

Yes, and here's the text from the memo suspending all RE-4 waivers:
1. Effective 13 March 2009, all Prior Service RE 4 discharges are ineligible for enlistment into the Army National Guard. In addition to not allowing all Army RE 4 discharges, this SMOM now suspends eligibility for all U.S Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard RE 4 discharges regardless of the Separation Program Designator (SPD) code which were allowed in the FY07 ECM, 1 Oct 2006, paragraph 226.
2. Requests for waivers will not be processed.

|A study finds that people making a tough decision may find some solace in washing their hands. Writing this week in the journal Science, researchers report that having test subjects wash their hands after making a difficult decision could reduce 'cognitive dissonance,' the uneasiness that comes from holding two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time. Test subjects who washed their hands after the decision-making test appeared to be more at ease with the choices made during the experiment. We'll talk about the finding, and what it tells us about the human mind.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
An uptick in vandalism in area parks within Price City has some concerned about what the city can do to help prevent the problem from continuing to grow.
Chad Greenhalgh, Parks, Recreation and Cemetery supervisor with Price City, spoke about his concerns with graffiti in the city to the Price City council last week. Over the past few months vandalism has been taking place in and around Price City area, Greenhalgh said.
"It's been increasing rapidly over time," he said. "It happens every day."
Greenhalgh said he has seen many different instances of vandalism around the city, but there is not one particular method being used. He provided the city council with numerous pictures showing the damage done with spray paint, fire, and general damage caused by people.
Some of the examples included burned out garbage cans, graffiti covered walls on buildings at city parks and more. Some of the vandalism Greenhalgh photographed was accentuated with the use of explicit language.
Greenhalgh described one particular instance of how fast vandalism can occur in the city. He told the city council that work on a building at a park was finished before the end of a regular work day. When he arrived at the site the following morning, someone had tagged the structure with graffiti.
The city does have cameras located in many areas, Greenhalgh said, but that hasn't prevented the damages from occurring. Because some areas of the city are not equipped with cameras or motion lights, the city can expect to see the vandalism continue on a regular basis, according to Aleck Shilaos, Price City police chief.
"It [cameras] helps a great deal, but vandalism will still occur with cameras around the city," said Shilaos. "The cameras would be helpful in identifying the perpetrators and hopefully stopping the actions of vandalism."
Councilors discussed options the city could implement, including adding more cameras, to try and quell the problems pertaining to vandalism. Shilaos said the city can look into implementing new techniques, but they should focus on possibly fixing the curfew times in city parks and for youth in the city.
Curfew times range from 10 to 11 p.m. between different ages groups. People under the age of 16 have a curfew of 10 p.m. and those between the ages of 16-18 have a curfew of 11 p.m., Shilaos said. Those curfews are different from the ones set at parks around the city, he explained.
To help shore up the problems with the curfews between the parks and the general city curfew, Shilaos said the city should look into changing the curfew times so they are identical and share the same specific details.
A stronger curfew may need to be enacted for things to work, Shilaos said, noting the current curfew structure is"very weak right now."
While he agreed with the ideas pertaining to new curfew times, Councilman Jeff Nielson questioned whether the police would have the time or the ability to go around asking everyone what their ages are when they are in city owned areas.
Shilaos argued that a curfew along with more police presence around city parks would be the best method in trying to cut down the number of instances of vandalism.
While everyone may be quick to point the finger at juveniles being responsible for every instance of vandalism around the city, Shilaos said that isn't always the case. The police department has to deal with problems of homeless people lingering around city parks as well, he said.
"It's not just the kids doing these things out there," he said.
While out patrolling around the city parks, Shilaos said officers have seen teens hanging out in the parks late into the night. But vandalism is not the only activity the teens were engaging in.
Shilaos said police have seen teenagers hanging around Dino Mine Park as late as 3 a.m. partaking in some different activities other than vandalism.
Trying to find an exact cause to the uptick in vandalism within the city, Greenhalgh said he was not sure of any specific reason. With teens and college-aged people on their summer breaks, Shilaos thinks that may be one of the causes for vandalism as they may be dealing with boredom.
Councilwoman Kathy Hanna-Smith suggested the city possibly work on a media campaign to inform the community about what is taking place, helping to create a better awareness about vandalism. This could help lead to people and neighborhoods near area parks to be more watchful about the activities taking place that the police may not always be around to see happening.
The use of cameras is a good deterrent for stopping vandalism, said Joe Piccolo, Price City mayor. While the use of more cameras is one way the city can put into motion, he suggested the city implement other methods of trying to quell the problem such as spending more time focusing on education, awareness and enforcement.
"I don't believe you can do it all with enforcement," Piccolo said. "There needs to be a combination of many factors, a 'delicate balance' to make this work."
