YouTube & the Online Video Revolution
When we registered the YouTube domain on February 14, 2005, we set out to create a place where anyone with a video camera and an Internet connection could share a story with the world. Five years into it, we're as committed as ever to the core beliefs and principles that guided YouTube's creation:
Video gives people a voice – From classrooms to war-torn countries, the Queen of England to the King of Pop, the Pope to the President of the United States, and the hillsides of Port au Prince to the streets of Tehran, video has the power to give rise to the most diverse set of faces and voices ever seen or heard in human history.
We succeed when our partners succeed – Our content partners run the gamut, from major Hollywood studios to aspiring filmmakers and vloggers who can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary on the turn of a dime. Content creation isn't our business; it's theirs. But breaking open access to media and distribution means delivering the world's largest global audience and the revenue models they need to succeed, as well as the tools they need to control their content.
Video evolves fast, YouTube must evolve faster – The Internet evolves at break-neck speed. We launch products quickly and constantly iterate to stay one step ahead of it. Our goal? To set the standard in online video delivery. Fast loading, high quality videos need to be able to play on any device, anywhere, anytime. And whether we're supporting 1080p, 3D, or deploying auto-speech recognition technology, we innovate with an eye toward providing the best possible experience for all of you.

CANTON For the second time in a week, a St. Lawrence County Psychiatric Center patient was arrested for an alleged assault on an employee.
Ogdensburg City Police on Monday morning charged James Earl Davis, 26, of Ward 94, 1 Chimney Point Drive. He was charged with second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies, after allegedly stabbing a psychologist employed at the center in the neck with a pencil. The weapon charge is a felony due to a previous conviction.
Police did not release the name of the victim, and court documentation was unavailable.
Davis was arrested on identical charges on July 17 after allegedly stabbing a therapy aide at the psychiatric center in the face with a metal butter knife.
That victim was treated at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center for the wound, which penetrated the left cheek, and was released.
Police earlier incorrectly reported Daviss last name as Davison.
The second alleged assault occurred Friday in the psychologists office in the psychiatric centers Trinity Building at approximately 12:45 p.m.
The victim was transported by another employee to the Claxton-Hepburn emergency room for treatment of a stab wound that penetrated the left side of the victims neck. Part of the pencil broke off in the victims neck and had to be removed by emergency room staff. The victim was treated and released.
Davis was arrested at 9:16 a.m. Monday and brought to Ogdensburg City Court for arraignment before Judge William Small. He was remanded back into the custody of the Office of Mental Hygiene with the condition that $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond will be instituted if he is released from the psychiatric center.
An order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.
Davis is due back in court on a later date.

Community Nursing Services Home Health and Hospice of Price has been serving all of Carbon and Emery Counties for the past eight years. CNS is a not-for-profit agency and an active partner with United Way of Southeastern Utah.
From our small beginning, with just two employees to our current staff of 40, we have grown to meet the needs of the communities we serve.
In communities like ours, situations happen that leave some people unprepared to meet their medical needs. When home health or hospice care is appropriate CNS can assess the needs and doctors orders and help set up a plan through our partnership with United Way to promote the needed care. Once the plan is set up, CNS will determine how much we can do between United Way assistance and other community donations for care. Frequently, CNS is able to provide needed nursing care but needs help with medical supplies. The large majority of these situations involve un-insured or under-insured people under Medicare age, with some of the patients served being young children. Often the needs are the result of an accident or infection. Wound care and providing for intravenous medications are both very expensive. United Way has allowed us to provide care in situations where it otherwise seemed impossible. United Way has made it possible for us to obtain necessary supplies and equipment to provide a higher level of care in our communities.
Recently, a situation arose with a very ill pediatric patient. The father was recently unemployed, and the family did not have any health insurance coverage. This created a huge dilemma for the family. CNS sent a nurse in to assess the situation and worked with their family physician to create a plan of care. CNS was able to turn to United Way for the financial assistance necessary to provide the care that was deemed necessary for the child. The child was able to receive several weeks of intravenous therapy, and the needed nursing care which resolved the medical problem. The mother wept tears of relief, and was grateful for the assistance given. Today the child is healthy and thriving well.
This situation could have ended much differently, had we not had the support and assistance that United Way is able to provide in these cases. On a daily basis our staff sees the benefits of our partnership with United Way. We see the quality of life improved for many of our patients who are in situations where care would otherwise be impossible. CNS is able to maintain its commitment to the highest quality of care, through its partnership with United Way, and its excellent staff of caring individuals. CNS strives to meet each individual situation, with care tailored to meet each patient's specific needs.
We are proud to partner with United Way of Southeastern Utah to provide care for those who would in many cases have little or no resources available to them. CNS looks forward to its ongoing partnership with United Way, and its ability to improve the lives of patients during a time of great need.

A series of photos shot since 2006 by photographer Kai Wiedenhoefer hanging on the Western, river Spree side of the Wall features large pictures of separation barriers in Baghdad, Korea, Cyprus, Mexico, Morocco, Israel, Belfast, and in the former East Germany itself. The opposite side of the stretch of the original Wall is known as East Side Gallery, a memorial to peace and freedom covered in murals questioning the legacy of the original Wall, and the subject of several demonstrations earlier in March this year when sections of it were threatened with removal to make way for a construction site for luxury apartment buildings, discussion of which is still ongoing with a decision expected to be reached in early August.

Based on 2 Reviews
JustineBloomfield, NJHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThis Needs Different PackagingThis product would be amazing, 5 star worthy, if it came with nozzle attached instead of needing to use the AquaSun wand. The color that develops is one of the best colors I've seen, but the delivery to apply this tanning solution (with the wand) is awful and non functional. Please make this into a spray can and I will buy and recommend to everyone.

Pulau Gunung Api Banda is one of ten volcanic islands in the Banda archipelago, and as you may have suspected by the name of the island, Gunung Api Banda – meaning fiery mountain - is made up entirely of a volcano. This small island chain was part of the fabled "Spice Islands" during the time of Portuguese and Dutch maritime trade, and until the mid-19th century, was the only source of nutmeg and mace in the world. The shallow waters at the foot of Gunung Api Banda are an internationally recognized dive spot. Multi-coloured corals contrast starkly with the blackened volcanic sea bed, housing a rich marine life, high in number and species diversity, despite the small total area. In 2005, the Banda islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Journals from the early European sailors describe the islands as a jewel-like cluster, surrounded by crystal waters and brilliant coral reefs. Hundreds of years have passed since then, but visitors to the islands nowadays still say the same.
The Banda islands are located in the Banda Sea, approximately 130 kilometres southeast of Ambon, administratively the Banda district, Central Maluku, Maluku province.
Banda Volcano is a perfectly conical mountain that rises 656 meters above sea level, and is about 3 kilometres wide.Due to its key location in the spice trade, Banda Volcano ranks among the best documented volcanoes in Indonesia. It is also one of the most active volcanoes in East Indonesia. Historical eruptions have been recorded since the late 1500s, and have been relatively low-level, though there have been the occasional larger eruptions, with lava flow reaching the coast.
On May 9, 1988, after 97 years of dormancy, a violent eruption shook the Banda islands. A column of ash billowed 3 kilometres into the air, and earthquakes were felt every few minutes. Two days prior to the eruption, 1,800 residents of the island were evacuated to nearby Neira and Lonthor, both of which are remnants of volcanic activity. On the day of the eruption, people began moving to further islands, and eventually to locations as distant as Sulawesi. About 10,000 people of the 16,000 population living in the Banda islands were evacuated during the 1988 eruption, which finally ended in August, 1988.
This powerful eruption had a devastating impact on what was once an integral part of the famed "Maluku Sea Gardens." Molten lava oozed across 70,000 square meters of well-developed fringing reef, destroying everything in its path. But even volcanic clouds have a silver lining, and this seemingly catastrophic event led to a remarkable discovery.
Maluku Sea Gardens Restored
Hardened lava, once broken down, provides some of the most fertile soil on earth. This is because it is rich in minerals and nutrients brought up from within the earth. Therefore, the plant growth affected by volcanoes can recover quickly. But does the same hold true for coral growth? Prior to the Banda eruption of 1988, this idea received scant attention, but scientists were now provided with a unique opportunity. Coral colonization was monitored on 3 locations, and in just 5 short years, the hardened andesitic flow supported over 120 species of coral. A higher diversity and abundance than the adjacent reef not covered by lava.
Now, 20 years later, coral growth around Gunung Api Banda not only matches, but exceeds the development that normally takes coral formations over 70 years to achieve, making it the most rapid growing coral in the world.
Gunung Api was designated as a National Park by the Ministry of Forestry in 1992.

Many towns in Illinois have Abraham Lincoln stories, whether they're places he lived or worked or just spent a significant moment. If you ever visit Illinois, you can spend many days touring sites important to our nation's 16th president. And we're here to help. As the U.S. remembers Lincoln's birthday, we've put together a mini road trip that shines the spotlight on a few of the towns that boast some of the most important Abe Lincoln history. We start in the place where Lincoln's Illinois journey began…
1. Decatur. When Abraham Lincoln was 21, he and his family left Indiana to escape an epidemic ravaging that state. Moving west, they ended up in Decatur, which is about as close to the exact middle of Illinois as you can get. The spot where they camped on their first night in the area is now Decatur's Lincoln Square – and Lincoln returned to that spot later in the same year to give his first-ever political speech, a plea to improve the Sangamon River's navigability. It was an impromptu speech, delivered in response to others being given that day by local politicians, but containing all the passion that would make him a leader in the years to come. Eyewitness accounts recall that Lincoln, dressed in homespun clothes and barefooted, energized listeners with his talk of the future of Illinois.
2. New Salem. In 1831, Abraham Lincoln struck out on his own and moved about 50 miles west, to New Salem. He remained here for six years, working as a boatman, a shopkeeper, postmaster and more, as well as fighting in the Black Hawk War. It was here in New Salem that Lincoln first ran for political office, winning election to the state legislature in 1834. But perhaps more important in this time period were several business trips Lincoln took to New Orleans, navigating a flatboat down the Mississippi River. His experiences in the true South opened his eyes to the realities of slavery that were much less evident in his native Midwest. After these trips, Lincoln's political focus began to sharpen around the issue of slavery, starting the steady march toward his eventual Emancipation Proclamation.
3. Springfield. No Abe Lincoln sightseeing tour would be complete without a stop in Springfield, the Illinois state capitol and the place where Lincoln's legal career began. He was elected to the state legislature in 1834, but he didn't move to Springfield until 1836, when he was admitted to the bar (and in fact, Springfield didn't become the state capitol until 1839 – a designation that owes thanks in part to Lincoln's lobbying). It was in Springfield that Lincoln made a name for himself as a lawyer, met his future wife Mary Todd, and rose as a politician. It's hard to throw a rock in Springfield without hitting a place associated with Lincoln (though we hope anyone following our road trip will avoid throwing rocks at historical sites). You can see his home and his law office, tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, opened in 2005. You can stand on the platform at the depot where his train departed for Washington after he won the presidential election in 1860, as well as visit the tomb where he was laid to rest after being assassinated a few years later. But just because Lincoln's Illinois journey – and life journey – ended in Springfield doesn't mean ours has to stop there. So many other towns in Illinois boast a bit of Lincoln history. One of the most prominent is just 70 miles northeast of Springfield.
4. Bloomington. It was here in Bloomington, at a downtown building that has since been demolished, that Lincoln delivered his famous "lost speech" of 1856. Why was the speech lost? According to legend, Lincoln's words were so powerful and his oratory so captivating that all the reporters lay down their pencils and forgot to take notes, so mesmerized were they by the future president's speech. Another theory holds that transcripts of the speech were deliberately destroyed because its anti-slavery message was feared to be too provocative. Snippets survived in attendee's memories, including one very familiar phrase: "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Used two years later in the speech Lincoln gave to accept his party's nomination for senator, the phrase was, reportedly, first uttered at the corner of East and Front streets in Bloomington.
5. Peoria. Our travels next take us 40 miles northwest to Peoria and back in time two years to 1854. Established in 1691, Peoria holds the distinction of being the oldest European settlement in Illinois. It was 163 years later that Abraham Lincoln stood on the city's courthouse steps and delivered a three-hour long, impassioned speech arguing against the extension of slavery. The "Peoria Speech" electrified its audience and would shape the platform of the newly formed Republican Party. It was one of the key events that started Lincoln's trajectory toward the presidency and the abolition of slavery.
6. Galesburg. Continuing 50 miles west to railroad hub – and Underground Railroad stop – Galesburg, we reach one of the sites of the seven legendary Lincoln-Douglas debates. Taking place in 1858, the debates were part of the Senate race between Lincoln and Democrat Stephen Douglas. Once again, Lincoln spoke eloquently and passionately against slavery, and this time, the ears of a nation listened. Transcripts of the debates were sent to newspapers around the country and printed in full as the populace struggled with the issues that would soon drive the U.S. into civil war. Our road trip doesn't stop at all seven debate sites, but you can visit them yourself if you take side trips to Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Quincy and Alton. And before you get back on the road for our next stop, don't forget to visit the Old Main building at Galesburg's Knox College – the site of that city's Lincoln-Douglas debate is still in use today.
7. Rock Island. Another 50 miles north sits Mississippi River town Rock Island, home of the first railroad bridge constructed across that wide river. The bridge was built in 1856, and two weeks later, the steamboat Effie Afton accidentally (maybe) rammed it and set it on fire. A hotly contested court case ensued, with none other than Abraham Lincoln arguing for the railroad. He was successful – the courts found in favor of the railroad (though the bridge wasn't rebuilt for another 40 years). It was a small event in Lincoln's life, but one that helped build the reputation as a fine legal thinker that would boost his political career.
8. Chicago. Our journey winds to a close in Legacy.com's hometown. Chicago was already Illinois' biggest city in Lincoln's day, and its size and influence meant that a prominent lawyer and politician such as himself would visit often. In fact, Lincoln was urged to move to Chicago by a friend and fellow lawyer, who wanted to open a practice with him. Lincoln declined, but returned to Chicago many times over the years, most notably in 1860 for the Republican National Convention. It was there that he became his party's presidential nominee, battling opposition from more radical Republicans who feared, ironically, that his platform on slavery was too moderate. Had the early favorite William Seward won, would the Emancipation Proclamation have been made, and slavery abolished? We'll never know, and we can only be grateful that it was Lincoln who carried the day at that Chicago convention.
That brings our road trip to an end – we're back home in Chicago and we need to get back to work. But for those who are fascinated with the history of one of our nation's greatest leaders, we've only scratched the surface. Illinois was Abraham Lincoln's home for most of his adult life, and our state is so full of spots he visited – and stories of his sharpening vision toward a unified nation full of free and equal people – that the full road trip map would look like a spider web. Maybe one day you'll visit the Land of Lincoln and find out for yourself.

Marcus Allen, former Trojans express support for Orgeron
Current USC players have made it no secret that they would like to see the interim coach Ed Orgeron become the team's head coach, and now a group of former Trojans is showing their support for Orgeron as well.
Four former SC players — all Pro Football Hall of Fame members — told the L.A. Times that Orgeron should be high on Pat Haden's list to replace Lane Kiffin.
Marcus Allen, the 1981 Heisman Trophy winner, is the most outspoken of the group.
"From the depths of despair, from a program that was flat-lining, he has made a tremendous turnaround," Allen said. "Here's a guy who cares about his players, treats them like his sons, and he wants the very best for them. So he's going to put you in the right position to be successful.
"He wants these guys to realize their dream, but he knows the only way to do it is to be tough."
Allen notes that USC has had its biggest success when the head coach was a strong motivator rather than an Xs and O's guru.
"It's people, not plays," he said. "You always hear those coaches say, 'I don't care if you like me, I just want to be respected.' I mean, that's a joke, dude. You want respect, but you want to be liked too. Because if your players like you, they'll give you even more.
"Coach O understands that. He's recruited all these kids. He's been in every single living room. He knows these kids, he knows their parents. He feels responsible, because they're there because of him. He wants the best for them."
Safety Ronnie Lott, and offensive tackles Anthony Munoz and Ron Yary also believe that Orgeron should get strong consideration for the job.
"Ed Orgeron showed me, and showed a lot of people, that . . . in terms of moving forward, he's got to be considered. He's not only got to be considered, but he should be very high on the list," Lott said.
Orgeron asked Munoz to speak to the team before last month's game at Notre Dame, and Munoz later led USC onto the field before a home game against Utah.
"I'd hate to be in Pat's shoes right now," Munoz said. "I think Ed, at least from me being there a couple of times, I think he's done a phenomenal job. The whole atmosphere is different. Not once has he mentioned the lack of scholarships [because of NCAA sanctions]. That impresses me.
"When you hear the quarterback talk about how much he loves the guy, just going by the tweets, you can see that guys just love him. I'm sure there's people that want the high-profile names, but I don't know. If he wins out, he's got to be strongly considered."
Yary said if the Trojans beat UCLA on Saturday that Orgeron has to be at the top of the list of candidates.
"It's not fair for me to think for Pat," Yary said. "But if there's a guy who's stepping up to earn it, [Orgeron] has so far. He's certainly turned the program around. . . . I've met Ed and hear a lot of good things about him from other people.
"I'm sure they'll give him a fair opportunity to get the job. If he wins the rest of the games, I think he's put himself up for a job offer."

Download Circumnavigation of Newfoundland Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: St. John's, Newfoundland
We meet in St. John's, Newfoundland's historic, vibrant capital. Picturesque and welcoming, St. John's is proud of its 500 year history.
Day 2: Terra Nova National Park
Terra Nova National Park of Canada is a place where long fingers of the North Atlantic Ocean touch the island boreal forest of Eastern Newfoundland. Rocky headlands provide shelter from the awesome power of the open ocean. The landscape of the park varies from the rugged cliffs and sheltered inlets of the coastal region to the rolling forested hills, bogs and ponds of the inland. Cultural history abounds in the remnants of sawmills and past human cultures.
Day 3: Conche
On the Great Northern Peninsula, the people of Conche welcome us into their charming community. Complete with ties to its history, religion, the fishery and wildlife, Conche is made up of mostly Irish descent. We will explore the colourful town on foot, but don't be surprised if you are invited in by local residents for a 'mug up'!
Day 4: St. Anthony and L'Anse aux Meadows
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, L'Anse Aux Meadows is the only authenticated Norse settlement in North America. The archeological remains found here in 1960 date to approximately 1000 A.D.
Day 5: Red Bay
Today we stop at Red Bay, the fishing village and former site of several Basque whaling stations, occupied between 1550 and the early 1600s when they hunted right and bowhead whales.
Day 6: Gros Morne National Park
It has been said, "Gros Morne is to geology what the Galapagos are to biology." The Park's mountains are both picturesque, and highly unusual: the Tablelands, a 600m (1900 ft) high plateau, forms one of the world's best examples of ancient rock exposed from the earth's interior.
Days 7 - 9: South Coast
The wild and windswept coast of Southern Newfoundland is home to a few remaining outport communities, still largely cut off from mainstream travel. Visits here are often a highlight of our trips. There are many unique bays and coves to explore via Zodiac or land excursion.
Day 10: Miquelon, France
The territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon, France is all that remains of the once-vast French holdings in North America. Off the tip of the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, the territory consists of eight islands, two of which are inhabited.
Day 11: St. John's, Newfoundland
Discover one of the oldest cities in North America, a city unlike any other.

CAPE VINCENT Fed up with BP Wind Energys unresponsiveness, town officials have filed a complaint asking the state Public Service Commission to take note of the communitys concerns and frustrations in its evaluation of BPs community outreach plan.
BP submitted to the PSC its revised public involvement program plan concerning the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm project last month.
It is the first hurdle BP needs to clear before submitting a project application to a state siting board under New Yorks Article X energy law.
For the past couple months, Cape Vincent officials have publicly criticized wind project manager Richard Chandler for refusing to answer several questions at an Oct. 23 joint Lyme-Cape Vincent meeting.
Hoping to get their message across to the higher-ups at BP, Cape Vincent Town Council and Planning Board members also sent a joint letter to Katrina Landis, CEO of BP Alternative Energy, criticizing Mr. Chandlers unwillingness to cooperate with local officials.
Cape Vincent lawmakers eventually got a response from Larry Folks, senior vice president and chief development officer for BP Wind, but it only added to their frustration.
Mr. Folks, in his Nov. 20 response letter to the town officials, said BP is aware of the complaints and is looking forward to exploring resolution of these issues where possible.
His letter then lists the potential benefits of having a wind farm in Cape Vincent.
Mr. Folkss letter is a response only in the most technical sense. In fact, it is wholly unresponsive, wrote town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey in a recent letter to PSC Secretary Jaclyn A. Brilling. His letter does not merely fail to clarify anything; it does not even do us the courtesy of acknowledging the issues presented in our letter.
Mr. Hirschey said BPs latest letter to Cape Vincent representatives shows no trace of genuine public involvement and serves as further proof that BP is refusing to talk with local officials in any meaningful way.
It is nothing more than a few short paragraphs of very standard BP marketing language quoting generalized benefits that BP asserts will come to a community from having a wind project. We could have lifted that language from one of their brochures, he said. BPs effort is better characterized as a monologue, not a dialogue.
Mr. Chandler, director of business development for the $300 million Cape Vincent Wind Farm project, responded to the local officials criticism at a Nov. 10 open house, arguing BP is being responsible and has been taking into consideration residents and municipal leaders concerns.
BP is hosting another public workshop at 6 p.m. today at the Cape Vincent Recreation Park on James Street to further share information regarding the state siting process for its proposed 124-turbine wind farm.

Up until recently, it seemed that there were three viable options for most famous mitts: super sugary pastel pink, old Hollywood-style classic red, or deep dark plum. As such, the recent spate of neon polish has come as a welcome antidote to the de rigueur lacquers and we enjoy their festive style tremendously.
Over the past few months, we've spotted some version of this look on celebrity hands galore. Early adapter Rihanna occasionally went for neon nails starting back in 2007, but this year she's in a day-glo polish frenzy. Seen here at the MTV Movie awards in June with Skittle green fingertips, she's also tried neon blue, yellow, and orange (China Glaze's Japanese Koi for the Grammys, specifically). You can go green as well with China Glaze Nail Polish's In The Lime Light ($5.40), Morbid Makeup's Neon Green ($2.99), or NYX Cosmetics Lime Polish ($3). We noticed another songstress is dedicated to the neon as well-Beyonce-though she favors acid yellow tones. Mrs. Carter was spotted arriving in Nice with electric lemon nails and attended the Kanye West show last month wearing the same color. To get a similar hue on your hands, try Essie's new Shorty Pants ($8) or OPI's Need Sunglasses ($7).
If you'd prefer a bold blue hue, like the polish Lily Allen chose for the British Glamour Woman of the Year Awards, you have several snappy options. Creative Nail Polish makes a great Hot Pop Blue ($6.50) and we're digging Color Club's Bizerk Turq ($1.99) as well. We also love Orly's Blue Collar ($4.95) so much that we put it in the Closet (along with the brand's other bright shades)! Readers who fancy purple nails a la Nicky Hilton are in luck too. The color Ms. Hilton likes is by Chanel and is part of a limited edition collection celebrating the new Robertson Boulevard boutique. Her specific bottle is called Rodeo Drive and it's one of four popping polish colors. Originally only available at the new West Hollywood shop, the collection will be available to the world at large online in July. Just sign up on the wait list now and cross your fingers! While you wait, try Lippmann Collection Nailcolor in Constant Craving ($15) or Essie's neon violet Bermuda Shorts ($8). Indecisive types, we also have a solution for you. Just follow in Lindsay Lohan's mani/pedi path and combine several shades for all-inclusive new wave nails.

Dozens of TUSD students skip school to attend School of Ethnic Studies
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- Just a day after students walked out of class in protest of the Ethnic Studies ruling, they are taking matters into their own hands. Instead of going to their regular classes, they created a school of their own to continue their ethnic studies education.
The student-led group, Unidos, launched the School of Ethnic Studies at its first location -- the El Casino Ballroom. Media was not allowed in while school was in session, but representatives from Occupy Wall Street set up a video livestream on Occupy Tucson's facebook page.
The event organizers say by creating their own school, they will have the space to learn Hispanic history, culture and contributions. They say today's event is an important step to reclaiming their education.
TUSD's Mexican American studies program was dismantled after the state's public school chief and an administative law judge declared the courses violated the law.
"Knowing the students wanted these programs, they took it away. So we're saying no, you can't do that to us. We are going to keep on doing this. We're going to keep on learning. There's nothing that they can do to stop us," said Ashley Bustamante, one of the event organizers.
Since students missed a day of school, KGUN9's Valerie Cavazos started with an exchange on that topic.
Cavazos: "My question is -- students are not learning math and science, which are state mandated?
Bustamante: "This is true. We didn't teach science and math, but that is something that we learn at school.
Cavazos: "But they weren't in school."
Bustamante: "This is true. But today is a day not to talk about other subjects. They are hugely important. They are critical to our learning, I agree."
Cavazos: "Did you tell them that in there? Did they get that message in there?"
Bustamante: "Yes, the way that I see it is that we need to stay in school, we need to be in school, yes. We need to be in school because we learn about math, science, engineering and all that stuff. But if we don't have the most important program that has affected our education, what are we striving for? What's our goal?"
Organizers say this is an ongoing campaign to create autonomous learning environments, however, Bustamonte says Unidos hasn't made any plans beyond today. She says the group doesn't know if any future events will be planned during school hours.

|Feds Nab 19 In Drug, Firearm Counts
|Written by DOJ Press Release
|Tuesday, 29 October 2013 15:43
Federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 19 suspects today in Hickory, N.C. and the surrounding area charged with drug trafficking, illegal firearm possession and other federal offenses, announced Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
Another nine individuals were arrested on state charges. U.S. Attorney Tompkins is joined in making today's announcement by Wayne L. Dixie, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Charlotte Field Division, Chief Tom Adkins of the Hickory Police Department (HPD); and James C. Gaither, Jr., District Attorney for Burke, Caldwell and Catawba Counties. The federal indictments were returned by a grand jury on October 15 and 16, 2013, but remained sealed until today's arrests. The investigation began in October 2012, targeting individuals who participated in illegal drug transactions and gun trafficking in and around Hickory. The seven-month anti-violence initiative resulted in the seizure of more than 80 firearms, including 53 handguns, 19 rifles, 10 shotguns and one short barrel shotgun. Law enforcement also seized more than 1,425 grams of narcotics, including over 1,125 grams of cocaine and more than 230 grams of marijuana, with a total street value of over $55,000. In making today's announcement U.S. Attorney Tompkins stated, "This morning's arrest of 19 offenders is part of my office's ongoing effort to combat drug trafficking and gun violence throughout our district. The law enforcement partners who participated in this anti-violence initiative share a common goal: to fight and reduce violent drug crime by joining forces, so our citizens can reclaim their neighborhoods from drug dealers and put an end to the collateral violence that comes with drug and gun trafficking." "ATF will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to identify those individuals that contribute to the number of crime guns used in violent crime in the Hickory area. Violent gun crime is the scourge in our society and any contribution to illegal firearms trafficking cannot stand," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Wayne L. Dixie. "Our mandate is to do everything we lawfully can to allow the citizens of Hickory to live in a safe and secure environment without the fear of having needless violent crime as a part of their lives. We accept that mandate and today's law enforcement action should send that message loud and clear." "I am very proud of our local law-enforcement and agents and staff of the ATF who worked together to bring about this initiative. This is a major commitment of resources from the ATF for a city the size Hickory. These defendants will be prosecuted by both the U.S. Attorney's office and the 2th prosecutorial district. We intend to follow up on this excellent collaborative effort with aggressive prosecution," said James C. Gaither, Jr., District Attorney for the 25th Prosecutorial District, which encompasses Burke, Caldwell and Catawba counties. "Hickory Police Department is committed to making our community safe," said Chief of Police Tom Adkins. "HPD along with other area jurisdictions are members of the Catawba County Safe Communities Initiative, which directs law enforcement resources to reducing the violence and drugs in our communities. This focused investigation with ATF and our officers will have a lasting impact on reducing violence and taking drugs off the streets of Hickory and other communities in Catawba County."
The round-up was conducted by the ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, Hickory Police Department, Newton Police Department, Catawba County Sheriff's Office, Conover Police Department, and Longview Police Department. Those arrested include drug traffickers, members and associates of drug trafficking organizations, convicted felons, as well as several local gang members. The federal suspects arrested during the round-up were:
Nine additional defendants currently in state custody on state violations have been charged with federal offenses in connection with this investigation, bringing the total number of those charged federally to 28. They are:
Another nine defendants arrested this morning face state criminal charges. The federal defendants arrested today are currently in federal custody. Their initial appearances were held in U.S. District Court before U.S. Magistrate Judge David C. Keesler. The charges contained in the indictments are allegations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The investigation is being conducted by the ATF and Hickory PD. U.S. Attorney Tompkins thanked all the law enforcement agencies involved in today's round-up for their assistance in making today's arrests. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Dillon of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte is leading the prosecution.

Narrowing of the main valve which controls blood leaving the heart leads to a marked increase in death. To overcome this narrowing the heart muscle thickens abnormally and contracts more vigorously. However, in doing so, blood flow patterns to the heart muscle change through mechanisms which are incompletely understood. New technology allows such heart valve blockages to be fixed using balloons and metal stents inserted through tubes placed in arteries in the leg. Using sensors placed in these tubes it is possible to make detailed measurements of coronary flow and pressure, and apply new mathematical techniques to allow a better understanding of the detrimental effects that aortic stenosis has on coronary flow, before and after valve surgery.

PB DECENT PROPOSAL: Guerin to the RangersLarry Brooks recommends it. Here's our offer.
UPDATED Saturday morning: The conversation continues in Comments in a few places with my reaction to your reaction. We'll keep this going until the afternoon, when Mark Streit sends a postcard…CB
Larry Brooks of the Post wrote Friday of how good Bill Guerin would look to the right of Scott Gomez. Larry points out that the Islanders' captain will not drop his no-move clause if it means leaving the area (he's probably right, although I would not rule out Boston). While the captain has done everything he can for the Islanders, Guerin is not so emotionally linked to the franchise that a trade to the rival Rangers would be heresy.
So here's our proposal for a deal close to the March 4 deadline:
Rangers receive:
- Bill Guerin and his pro-rated $4.5 million
Islanders receive:
- Petr Prucha and his pro-rated $1.6 million
- A 2009 third round pick that becomes a second round pick if the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference Final
My take: Guerin could give the Blueshirts the kick they need, but I'm fairly confident that's as much as the Rangers would offer. Highly doubtful the Islanders are getting a conditional first round pick from any team for Guerin. The Rangers have some leverage knowing Guerin determines his fate with the no-move.
Prucha has energy, hands and at age 26 would be a willing student under Scott Gordon. Give him a try and then decide if you want to re-sign him as a restricted free agent in the summer. If Prucha doesn't pass the test, you can add all this saved salary to the Komisarek Pool. The third (maybe second) round draft pick is more than the Islanders will get for Guerin when he bolts in the summer.
If I'm Garth Snow, I make the trade. Glen Sather, too.

Companion forum thread to:Deep Freeze: A Cold, Hard Look at Winter Stoves
Great report! (Just a little late for the TWO new stoves I bought last month). I appreciate real-world, but still controlled testing. I don't really care how well stoves work at 70 degrees- freezing or below is when you want it to work!One question related to the canister stoves-Were all the tests with full or nearly full canisters, or did you compare results as a canister approached empty? There's been lots of discussion related to the propane burning off faster than Isobutane so that the canister doesn't do as well as it nears empty.Secondly...Of course we seldom NEED to cook in the tent. It's sure a lot more comfortable though- out of the wind or falling snow, snug in a sleeping bag. In winter probably 90% of my snow melting and cooking has been in a tent or just outside the door. I'd rather carry steel propane cylinders and cook inside than carry light white gas containers and cook outside.And finally...When measuring time to go from frozen to boil- consider set up time and "fiddle factor". True the Reactor took 3 minutes longer than the Simmerlite. I have a feeling that the time from pulling the Reactor out of your pack to having a hot cuppa is going to be faster than the Simmerlite. There's no setup- while the Simmerlite has windscreen setup, fuel bottle attachment, pumping, and priming.
That pumping takes quite a while! I was on a group trip in the late 1980's. I had a MSR Whisperlite and everyone else had Bluet canister stoves. The rest of the group would have finished breakfast by the time I got my water boiling! I'd also like to hear about the almost empty canister performance. Maybe run it until almost empty, put it back in the freezer and run another test?

To Brad:EXCELLENT report and a very good writing style I might add. A pleasure to read. Very interesting results. I really hadn't given the Primus Express much consideration heretofore. And that's absolutely fascinating that the Reactor worked as well as it did in such cold weather. That's worth a separate report all its own.A few questions, if I may:1. I notice that a Coleman Xpert was in some of the photos. I'm wondering if you could comment as to why an Xpert (or Xtreme) did not make the final cut of stoves considered for the report.2. I generally consider the "floor" of the WindPro's operational temperature range to be about 0F/-18C at 1013mBar pressure. Did you get a sense over the course of your testing whether or not the WindPro might be a better stove in the upper half of your -20F to +20F testing range?3. Do you know when your Soto Muka was produced? I tested an early model Muka and found that I took me over 250 strokes on the pump to get the indicator to "pop out" (the bottle was about 1/7th full). I wonder if the pump I used was different than the one you used since you report that you didn't need more strokes than say on an MSR pump. Does your Muka include a production date on the packaging or stove anywhere?4. And final question, even at the lower end of the temperature range, say -10F to -20F, were you still able to use a Reactor? And did you perchance try using the Reactor with a canister that was 2/3rds or more depleted (i.e. no propane left)?Thanks for the great report, and I hope you have time to respond to my inquiries.HJAdventures In Stoving
Brad, good review. I have to beg to differ with you about the dangers of white gas. You are probably one of the small minority that has never seen a fireball or flare up of a white gas stove. I have seen enough for the both of us, some intentional, but most totally innocent, all a major risk. If you spend enough time in scouting you will see the fireball- mostly caused by adults.In the photo below (I've shared it before) my stove was being used by a retired Scout Master while snow camping. I had the windscreen around the stove and the pump/bottle outside the screen. I was inside the igloo so I didn't witness the pyrotechnics that could cause the pump to melt like that.I've never had this kind of problem with a canister, inverted or otherwise.Here is the pump up closeHere is the set up I was using, with the Scout Masters pump attached to my stove. Notice the melted pump in the top right. He had the same stove and pump! I had my Coleman there for my own use thinking he knew how to use the white gas stove since he had the same stove
Edited by bestbuilder on 01/31/2012 21:09:02 MST.
Yes, white gas can be dangerous and so can a Q-tip if not used properly. That picture is a good reminder of that.I have used white gas stoves for 40 years and have never seen a fireball or explosion -- probably because I am usually by myself. Most of this has been with Svea 123s and two MSR Stoves (a Whisperlite purchased in the 80's and a DragonFly purchased a few years ago). I still have all these stoves and still use them occasionally. Over the years I have talked to others who have experienced problems, and all seemed to point to the same problem: user error. Most important is to follow the directions. Check gaskets and o-rings as instructed, and with MSR perform the annual maintenance. This is what I do not like about the MSR stoves -- the complexity of the pump and the required maintenance, which I perform faithfully. Also important with the MSR is to lube the needle and properly insert it into the pump. Do all of this correctly and it is very unlikely you will experience a problem.
"Check gaskets and o-rings as instructed"This was always the important part, to me.If the MSR pump required more than a dozen or so strokes, then it was a sign that either the fuel bottle was too full, thereby having little air space to pump pressure into, or that the pump's leather gasket was dried out, so the pumping was poorly effective.Once I got in the habit of oiling the leather gasket before each trip, that problem went away. A field substitute for oil is Chapstick.--B.G.--
Just a quick answer to some of your questions-Several wondered about fuel level in the canisters... I ran them from full to empty. Each canister was designated a stove, ie I labeled one for the WindPro and one for the Reactor. The Reactor burned a canister to completely empty having been used only in the deep freezer conditions; the WindPro likewise burned all its fuel. The WindPro distinctly burns better at the higher end of the temperature range of testing... see the very last chart of the article, where the temps hovered around freezing.Tad, I've seen melted pump parts before, no doubt... but as mentioned, that's due to operator error. If a stove isn't properly maintained and has leaky gaskets, well, yeah, you'll have problems. With the most cursory, occasional eyeball maintenance I've never had such a problem in over 20 years of using these stoves. Scouts... Hey, I'm an Eagle Scout... I know about the Scouting system, and the kids I went though with and have taught since, well, I know they could find a way to bugger something up given the opportunity. We always just deeply stressed responsibility and respect; it's on the kids to act like adults, in a sense. But, yes, I generally recommend canister stoves for 3-season Scouting.HJ, I've found that pressurizing ANY nearly-empty white gas bottle takes a whole lotta strokes. I'd guess that a MSR 22-ouncer at 1/7 full would take around 200 strokes for full pressure, though it would certainly operate with fewer... note that the Muka would probably also operate with fewer, though, for both, perhaps not as "optimally." I didn't keep the xpert in because, first and foremost, they're not made any more. My recolection is that it also took the longest of all the stoves tested to reach a boil in the severe conditions outlined... I'll see if I can find data from the xpert just for grins-EDIT: Oh, just a note on operational "friendliness:" I never bleed the pressure from my white gas bottles during a trip. I pressurize the bottle, use the stove, and continue pressurizing as needed throughout the trip. End result, I never have to start "from scratch" to pump a bottle all the way up, maybe 40-ish? strokes? Never bothered counting, wasn't a big deal-
Edited by 4quietwoods on 02/01/2012 09:30:18 MST.
Thanks for the great review! A small request: Could you update your figure legends to include more information on where the data comes from. I am having a hard time telling whether the water used started as a block of ice or not. It would be great to see a volume boiled under the legend and temperature of the water initially. I suspect it is elsewhere in the article but it would be great if you could include it in the legend for clarity. thanks!
Maybe outside the weight requirements for the article, but I'll mention the Svea 123R. I have used a number of white gas stoves through the years and that Svea 123R always works. It's what I take in cold temps for snow camping now. It can melt snow and always works. The lack of a pump and extraneous moving parts makes it very reliable. I also like that the fuel tank is attached to the stove. No pumping is required and I don't get fuel sprayed all over me when disassembling it. I've seen some nasty fireballs with some pump stoves.The stove weighs 19 ozs. But when you consider the tank is built in and doesn't need to have a repair kit carried it is comparable to modern stoves. The tank holds about 1 hour worth of fuel which is more than enough for 1-2 day trips. I have a review of mine posted here:Svea 123R in the snow.Thanks for your review. I like seeing gear tested in less than optimal conditions. It shakes out the problems quickly.
Edited by craigr on 02/01/2012 13:07:05 MST.
Michael: the volume of water was always one liter, and the other information you request is simply in the caption below each figure.Thanks,Addie
Thanks for your fast response! I think the data would be more clearly presented if the 1 L were added, why make the reader search for it? I will leave it at that.Also, in the second figure the legend refers to cold tap water. Can you clarify what temperature "cold" is? Thanks
Nope, Michael, I don't have a temperature for "cold," which is why I used the somewhat open-ended word. Given that we had a significant amount of data on sub-zero performance, I wanted to get an idea of how the stoves would perform in more "real-world" 3-season-type conditions that many users would face. The testing conditions for the second set of values were, therefore, not as controlled. Stoves and fuel were placed outside to reach ambient temperature; water either came cold from the tap, or from the tap and then put outside to sit with the stoves and fuel. Some days were in the 20s, some in the 40s... The point was to develop a general feel for moderate-weather performance, to round out or balance the deep cold aspect of the research.
Craig,I have a lot of experience with 123s and just love the stove, although I don't use it much these days due the the weight. It is my favorite stove of all time.In serious winter conditions, I much prefer a MSR DragonFly or even a WhisperLite. The Svea tank can only really hold about 5 oz of fuel, so one still needs to carry an extra fuel container for most trips. It cannot hold a candle to a MSR for snow melting, IMO.
Brad, I agree with you about stoves and maintenance. My comment was more geared about people paying attention to what they are doing. The scout handbook requires adult supervision when operating a stove (any kind) but it has been my experience that the Adults are the ones who need supervision.Last winter we had a dad carry his stove around his igloo site with the valve open spilling almost all the fuel in his large size bottle. He couldn't see it because of the snow. Why/how he didn't smell it is beyond me and thank goodness he didn't light it before someone noticed the fuel smell. It took all night for the smell to dissipate. Needless to say no one lit a match in that area.Again, I have found Adults are the ones how need the supervision. That is why I prefer not to have white gas stoves around.I purchased a couple of the coleman's Xtreme's for the troop and have had no problems with them or the operators.In the photo above the temperature was 16*, it was down to lower then 13* during the night with the stoves left out. Both stoves Xtreme and Dragonfly boiled water in about the same time- I didn't noticed and difference.The Coleman Xtreme is no longer made but but you can still purchase an "Xpert" which would have been nice to have in the review.Brad, you had a Coleman in one of your pictures- any info on how it preformed?
Thank you for a great article! I have an MSR Reactor stove and I've always been amazed that they don't get more respect here. There was a discussion here some time ago about how the JetBoil was much more fuel efficient than the Reactor, but it would seem from your tests that the Reactor more than holds its own when it comes to fuel efficiency.I'm taking both a Reactor and Windpro to Philmont in June and I'm very confident they will work great!Thanks again.
Love all the car references in there, Brad. The comparison to an AMC Eagle had me giggling. Once again, a well-written article on a topic worthy of this kind of inspection. I have gone away from, come back to, gone away, come back, etc etc etc my Whisperlite but as you mention in the article, white gas is simply the go-to winter fuel.
Brad - nice work. I have a couple questions about the Reactor. First, in your carts the pot for the Reactor seems to be listed with two differnt weights. In the first chart, with stove weights, pot weights, feul container weights and combined weights, it shows 11.1 oz, while below that in the cahrt that has just pots, it shows 7.7 oz. Am I reading this wrong or is there an error there?Secondly, I'm wondering if you noticed any significant thermal feedback to the canister from the stove.
Agreed. Great review Brad- it was great to learn about a couple of new stoves. When I saw the Powermax canister in the freezer it really caught my attention. The discontinued Coleman Xtreme was a favorite among many, myself included. I have a sizable stock of canisters and am always watching eBay for new ones. I've also considered getting the adapter, but in the back of my mind I keep thinking that maybe it would be smarter to go back to my Simmerlite...or something else.I would love to hear your comparison of the Xtreme (the former heavyweight champ) compared to some of these new ones. I know it's kind of pointless to create a review that finds that the best stove is no longer made, but a few of us would love to hear your findings.The Primus EtaPackLite is the other one I look at. It would be really cool to see a Primus EtaPackLite vs. Primus Express Lander- an inverted isobutane vs. white gas comparison. After years of futzing with canister stoves in igloos and mountaineering, I dismissed them and went back to white gas. The Coleman Xtreme changed my mind completely about what a cold weather stove could be. I'd love to know if there is actually an improvement somewhere....Thanks!Doug
There is something I don't understand here...How is it that the Reactor can use up every drop of fuel in the canister? At cold temperatures some fuel will remain as liquid, and unless the canister is inverted, will never make it out the valve. When things get really cold, do you have to keep your hands wrapped around the canister, or does enough heat from the stove radiate down to keep it warm?

Lynn Redgrave was a beloved member of one of our favorite acting families. The sister of actors Vanessa Redgrave and Corin Redgrave, sister in law of director Tony Richardson, and aunt of actors Natasha Richardson and Joely Richardson, Lynn Redgrave had a powerful talent herself. She was a star both on Broadway and on the big and small screens.
In this Nov. 24, 2008 file photo, actress Lynn Redgrave attends the premiere of "Australia" at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York. Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the freethinking title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatized her troubled past in such one-woman stage performances, died Sunday, May 2, 2010 in New York. She was 67. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer, file)
Redgrave died two years ago today, after a long struggle with breast cancer. We're celebrating her life by watching her work.
One of Redgrave's first movies was Georgy Girl – she won a Golden Globe for her starring role.
We always love seeing our favorite stars let down their hair a bit and have fun on a game show. Here's Lynn Redgrave holding her own on The $100,000 Pyramid.
1998 brought Redgrave another Golden Globe-winning role, that of housemaid Hanna in Gods and Monsters.

Luke, you'll possibly be looking at some 20-degree lows, and there's a decent likelihood of some rain/snow while you're there. I'd want some waterproof stuff to cover me. What about leg insulation--what exactly will you wear while hiking? And are you sure 4 oz. of canister fuel will cover you for a full week? An extra mug of tea from time to time will be a welcome thing if you get some cold, snowy days. And maybe some hand warmers to toss into your bag if it doesn't live up to its 20-F rating. Hope you have a great time. You probably won't see many folks.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm using a poncho tarp as shelter and proabley rain gear. My friend insisted on bringing his (cramped) two man tent. The plan is I'll sleep under my poncho most nights but if its really cold, or just bad weather we'll cram into his tent. I see it as a good chance to test the limits on my poncho tarp without too much risk. The bag should be okay. I've used it at 20 degrees before and it seemed okay The silk liner should add about 9 degrees of warmth too. The stove fuel is a good idea. My friend will be carrying a canister too. Maybe we'll each take a 6oz. instead. I think I can get away without leg insulation because I usually hike in a pair of fairly heavy nylon rock climbing pants. Whenever I've taken long johns they've stayed in the pack hopefully I don't regret this desicion. I was thinking I might throw in a space blanket bivy to us as a VBL if I get moist during the day. Thanks for the ideas
Hey Luke, Just a heads up...we just had 2 days of freezing rain/sleet and bitter cold temps and wind even in the day hear at Colorado Springs 6,500'. It was worse up high. This is the second time we have had these conditions in the last 3 weeks. Oct. is the begining of winter around here. Have a good hike, I was in the Lost Creek Wilderness about a month ago. Regards, John
Luke,If you wouldn't mind when you get back,I would like to know the conditions at lost creek. I have ventured thru there many of times in the summer, but never this late into fall/winter. I am currently at the beach, baking in the sun, itching to get on the trail. Probably be the first thing I do when I get back to co. I hope you had an awesome time, and i wouldn't mind some feedback on conditions, etc.Take careJ
Jared - I'm heading out the door in 40 minutes. My friends in the area report no snow and the weather forecase is pretty good. Actaully its looks like the next week will be surprisingly warm. I'll try and post some pictures when I get back but in the meantime I'd say go for it. If you see two guys hiking together over the next week it might be us. I'll probably be toting a gray golite pack and my (not UL) buddy will have a gregory. Good luck.
Jared - I don't know if you're still thinking about a Lost Creek hike but I just got back. On day five (3 days back) we had a good snowfall as we were leaving. I would guess the higher elevations got about 8-10 inches. There was no significant accumulation of snow before the storm so you might be okay. Just be ready, the weather called for flurries of snow not an all day snowstorm guess thats Colorado for you. Luke
Luke, I am glad you had good weather, and had a safe trip. Great hiking in the LCW. Regards, John
Luke, I was thinking about you guys out there when the storm came through a few days ago. Glad to hear that things went well for you. Will there be photos or a trip report?
Dondo - I plan on getting a trip report up in a day or two.Thanks for all the advise guys. We had a great time. I knew enough about Colorado weather to be prepared for a surprise storm so I did fine. We bailed out a bit early mostly because we were worried about our little rental car getting snowed in.
