4. Insane
. Montresor's motive for murder is uncertain other than the vague & quot; thousand injuries & quot; to which he refers.
. Many commentators conclude that, lacking significant reason, Montresor must be insane, though even this is questionable because of the intricate details of the plot.
5. Very Intelligent
. the cleverly and carefully planned murder hasn't been discovered till his death.
. The whole murder is arranged in details.
. his visible behavior seems to be natural and normal at the same time.
6. Unsympathetic Character
. A sympathetic character isn't necessarily character we feel sympathy for; a sympathetic character is simply a character we can relate to, at least on some level
7. Confessing or Bragging
. This is another area where we can totally identify with Montresor. Critics have been arguing for a hundred years over whether Montresor is confessing his sins or bragging about his crimes. We say it's probably a bit of both.
8. Sensitive about his reputation
. He easily gets angry and is very sensitive upon other's people opinion about him. He is vain and proud, because of which unable to stand an insult, which, to his mind, damages his reputation. Because of his vanity and pride, he treats this as a serious hurt

. He also takes pleasure in others suffering. His murder is very cruel.

. Fortunato is addicted to wine. He's already really drunk when he meets Montresor, and he thinks the Amontillado can help him take it to the next level. Right up until the end, he thinks of Amontillado, and only Amontillado. Plus, he...

Just for yonks, I grabbed the WHO confirmed Avian Flu cases list and did a little plot of cumulative cases vs time…
The blue curve is cumulative cases; the red curve is cumulative deaths.
The date is the approximate date of WHO report, with 28 Jan 2004 as the zero date (11 cases, 8 deaths). The dates are approximate because I just counted months between the slightly uneven spaced report dates and assigned 30 days per month. Since the data is coarse grained this should not matter over this length time span.
If you fit it with an exponential, the doubling time is just about one year.
If I were feeling energetic I'd fiddle with a proper log-lin fit and see if it is trending to saturation (logistic growth) or faster-than-exponential.
But, to be honest, the data are too scrappy and selection biased (early cases probably overlooked and fraction of deaths overreported) for that to be a useful exercise, yet.
Jan 2007 will be interesting.

Retired Cop Arrested
Last update: June 08, 2006 12:07 AM
Retired St. Paul cop surrenders himself in big drug bust
The former St. Paul officer turned himself in after Minneapolis police seized about 22 pounds of cocaine and 8 pounds of methamphetamine.
Chao Xiong, Star Tribune
Retired St. Paul police officer Clemmie H. Tucker turned himself in to Minneapolis police Wednesday afternoon in a drug case involving $4 million worth of cocaine and methamphetamine."There's nothing to compare it to," Capt. Rich Stanek said about the size of the seizure. "This is one of the largest, if not the largest," narcotics seizure for Minneapolis police.
Tucker's former colleagues said they were shocked to hear that the "big brother" figure who preached sobriety, staying away from gang activity and salvation from the streets through boxing was linked to 30 pounds of drugs.
"This is a very different place than what I would expect Clemmie to be in," St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington said Wednesday night. "Things seem to have just gone in a bad direction for him."
Last Friday, police seized a package at the Minneapolis Greyhound bus depot, 950 Hawthorne Av., that contained 10 kilos, about 22 pounds, of cocaine and 8 pounds of methamphetamine. Stanek said it is more typical to seize anywhere from about half a gram to half a kilogram of cocaine. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
The drugs' estimated $4 million street value is conservative, Stanek said.
Security at the bus station in downtown Minneapolis told authorities that a man attempted to pick up the package but lacked proper identification, police said. A suspect was identified using a license plate and description.
Police divulged few details of the case, citing the ongoing investigation, but said Tucker, 55, turned himself in at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Tucker, who was a Golden Gloves boxing champ as a teen, has not been charged.
St. Paul police spokesman Pete Crum confirmed that Tucker was a St. Paul officer for more than 20 years and retired in the late 1990s.
Former colleagues described Tucker as an outgoing, gregarious man who was enthusiastic about his work. They were careful to point out a suspect's presumed innocence until proven guilty.
"It hurts," said St. Paul Council Member Dan Bostrom, a retired St. Paul police sergeant. "It's distressing to all of us. Everybody tends to get painted with the same brush."
Bostrom said he never had an inkling that Tucker could ever get involved in something illegal. Harrington said Tucker worked briefly as a K-9 cop and in property crimes.
"Clem was extremely well-known in the department and a likeable guy," said St. Paul Police Federation president Dave Titus.
Off the clock, Tucker was known as a boxing enthusiast and trainer who ran B.T. Bombers boxing club in St. Paul. Harrington said graffiti anti-drug and anti-gang messages decorate the exterior.
Tucker trained St. Paul and suburban cops in his gym and helped with the police academy, said Harrington, who said he knows nothing about the drug case.
Just as recently as a month ago Tucker was talking about volunteering to help troubled teens find direction through boxing with the Police Activities League, the chief said.
Tucker groomed his son as a boxer, but that didn't stop the younger Tucker from falling into trouble.
Clemmie H. Tucker Jr. pleaded guilty this February to unintentional second-degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend last summer in Brooklyn Park. Angelina B. Garley, 27, was shot to death through her car window.
Minneapolis police spokesman Ron Reier said the U.S. attorney's office is also involved in the narcotics investigation because of the seizure's large size.
Police said the drugs came from out of state but would not say whether it was intended for sale in the Twin Cities.
"Drugs fuel our violent crime, so we're happy to get them off the streets," Stanek said.

I am so glad they got this much drugs off the streets, but very upset a retired cop is who was trying to bring it in.

Re: Retired Cop Arrested
regardless of the good you do in the world, something this bad is never overlooked. Obviously this is a case where the cop didn't practice what he preached.
that and 4 million dollars can drive a man to do some crazy s***. doesn't matter who you are anyone would be tempted with that much money.
Who needs a signature anyway?

I first got aquainted with zoën a couple of years back through his and JamesPHoneys record Volume 3. After that he has kept popping up from time to time. On Noah23s Rock Paper Scissors, on 2nd Class Cititzens One by One EP and on the various installations of Goose Bumps. Early this year came his solo debut zoën. I liked it but it quite soon slipped into the back of my memory. His follow up One Night Between didn't. Here it felt like this French emcee and producer really found his place completely. Even though this is more of a production album, none of the guests take away the feeling of this being zoëns album. soso, Ceschi, Astronautalis and Andromeda Subvert as just a few of those who blessed the album with some real fine work. But it wouldn't be a great album if it wasn't for zoëns productions. Beautiful, sad and inspired melodies all throughout makes this a really high quality musical experience and the ride is not ready to stop yet.
zoën was nice enough to share his personal favourite albums of the year.

Those who are not part of the industry would have trouble accepting that any industry could exhibit continued growth patterns as this industry does. Last year, 2001, the automotive specialty equipment industry continued its incredible growth pattern. With the exception of 1991, the industry has had at least 16 years of continual growth.
On an annual basis we continue to see the specialty automotive products industry growing. Since 1992, the industry has had an average annual growth of 8 percent. That's eight years of nice increases. How long can the industry keep up such a pace? There are many companies within the industry that are still reporting appreciable sales gains.
The specialty automotive equipment industry has always been hard to quantify; not only is it fragmented, but depending on who you talk to, the market definition has any number of possibilities. The approach used here defines specialty automotive equipment as products and services used to improve or otherwise change production vehicles.
The automotive aftermarket is typically divided into three major segments: repair parts, service and maintenance, and specialty equipment. The approach used here defines specialty equipment as aftermarket products and services used to improve or otherwise change production vehicles.

The first clip for the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is by My Side by Academy Award winner John Ridley was released on Wednesday that displays actor/rapper André Benjamin taking on the smooth mannerisms of the legendary guitarist.
An exclusive clip released by Entertainment Weekly shows Hendrix (Benjamin) talking with model/friend Linda Keith (Imogen Poots) before traveling to California's Monterey Pop Festival where he earned his iconic status by playing along famous musicians and burning his guitar. The movie highlights the year before the festival, when Hendrix went from an average back-up guitarist to making rock n' roll history.
According to MTV, the Outkast member took his role extremely seriously as he "listened to hours of interviews [and] watched his mannerisms" to fill the rocker's shoes. The film is written and directed by John Ridley, who just won an Oscar for his screenplay 12 Years a Slave.
The film premiered last year at the Toronto Film Festival with praise, and will make its U.S. debut at the South by Southwest Music and Film Interactive festival March 12.

Compact of Free Association:
Implementation Activities Have Progressed, but the Marshall Islands Faces Challenges to Achieving Long-Term Compact Goals

In 2003, the U.S. government extended its economic assistance to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) through an Amended Compact of Free Association. From 2004 to 2023, the United States will provide an estimated $1.5 billion to the RMI, with annually decreasing grants as well as increasing contributions to a trust fund. The assistance, targeting six sectors, is aimed at assisting the country's efforts to promote economic advancement and budgetary self-reliance. The trust fund is to be invested and provide income for the RMI after compact grants end. The Department of the Interior (Interior) administers and oversees this assistance. Drawing on prior GAO reports (GAO-05-633, GAO-06-590, GAO-07-163, GAO-07-513, GAO-07-514R), this testimony discusses (1) the RMI's economic prospects, (2) implementation of the amended compact to meet long-term goals, and (3) potential trust fund earnings. In conducting its prior work, GAO visited the RMI, reviewed reports, interviewed officials and experts, and used a simulation model to project the trust fund's income. Prior GAO reports recommended, among other things, that Interior work with the RMI to address lack of progress in implementing reforms; plan for declining grants; reliably measure progress; and ensure timely reporting on the fund's likely status as a source of revenue after 2023. Interior agreed with GAO's recommendations.
The RMI has limited prospects for achieving its long-term development goals and has not enacted policy reforms needed to achieve economic growth. The RMI economy depends on public sector spending of foreign assistance rather than on private sector or remittance income. At the same time, the two private sector industries identified as having growth potential--fisheries and tourism--face significant barriers to expansion because of a costly business environment. RMI emigrants also lack marketable skills needed to increase revenue from remittances. Despite declining grants under the compact, RMI progress in implementing key policy reforms to improve the private sector environment, such as tax or land reform, has been slow. In August 2006, the RMI's compact management committee began to address the country's slow progress in implementing reforms. Although the RMI has made progress in implementing compact assistance, it faces several challenges in allocating and using this assistance to support its long-term development goals. RMI grant allocations have reflected compact priorities by targeting health, education, and infrastructure. However, political disagreement over land use in Kwajalein Atoll, where the United States has a missile testing facility, and over management of public entities has negatively affected infrastructure projects. The RMI also has not planned for long-term sustainability of services that takes into account declining compact assistance. Inadequate baseline data and incomplete performance reports have further limited the RMI's ability to adequately measure progress. Although single-audit reporting has been timely, insufficient staff and skills have limited the RMI's ability to monitor day-to-day sector grant operations. Interior's Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) has conducted administrative oversight of the sector grants but has been constrained by competing oversight priorities. The RMI trust fund may not provide sustainable income for the country after compact grants end. Market volatility and the choice of investment strategy could cause the RMI trust fund balance to vary widely, and there is increasing probability that in some years the trust fund will not reach the maximum disbursement level allowed--an amount equal to the inflation-adjusted compact grants in 2023--or be able to disburse any income. In addition, although the RMI has supplemented its trust fund income with a contribution from Taiwan, other sources of income are uncertain or entail risk. Trust fund management processes have also been problematic; as of June 2007, the RMI trust fund committee had not appointed an independent auditor or a money manager to invest the fund according to the proposed investment strategy.

Sambucetti: Home Form Is Key For Us
Lock forward sets sights on victory over Leeds
Mariano Sambucetti has called on his team-mates to continue their fine form at the Memorial Stadium when Leeds Carnegie visit the West Country on Friday (7.45pm KO).
Bristol have recorded six straight home victories in all competitions since a narrow loss to Moseley in late September.
And the lock-forward, one of the Club's most consistent performers so far, admits the players are determined to return to winning ways in the RFU Championship.
"We're really looking forward to the challenge of Leeds Carnegie," said Sambucetti. "The boys are itching to get back out there after the disappointment of the Cardiff postponement.
"Everybody is fresh and raring to go. Leeds are in good form and we expect a huge test. They're a physical side and we will need to match that on Friday.
"We started slowly against them at Headingley earlier in the season and we got punished. We're determined to atone for that defeat, but we'll need to start well.
"Our home form has been good – we never want to lose in front of our fans at the Mem and we want to extend that record against Leeds.
"The Bristol supporters have been excellent as ever throughout the campaign, we'll need them behind us this weekend for one of our biggest games so far."
Tickets for Friday's clash are available online by clicking here. You can also purchase via the ticket hotline on 0871 208 2234, or at the Club Shop based at the Clifton RFC training ground (opening hours Mon-Fri: 10am-4pm).

Heavenly table arts
A hot spot of gastronomy and wine, the Lake Geneva Region (canton of Vaud) is appreciated by gourmands and gourmets from far and near for the profusion of its prestigious restaurants, the diversity of its cuisines and its local produces.
The Lake Geneva Arc swarms with good restaurants. The top of the gastronomic hit parade is shared by Philippe Rochat at Crissier and Bernard Ravet in Vufflens-le-Château, who were awarded 3 stars by Michelin and 19 by GaultMillau.
Besides these two stars, some twenty young chefs, scattered in the four corners of the canton, prepare an inventive and audacious cuisine, rated by GaultMillau.
On the shores of Lake Geneva, perch fillets, féra or arctic charr, two species native to the Lake, are served on terraces and in cafés. In the city centres brasseries and exotic restaurants cater to every craving while the country inns serve local specialities: papet vaudois, roast sausages, typical pies and tarts. Open from May to October, the Alpine chalets and small inns favour cheese dishes followed by homemade pastries. All these specialities are accompanied by excellent local wines, in particular those of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the canton of Vaud the art of living goes unmistakably hand in hand with fine dining.

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Chaz Williams poured in 28 points as the Massachusetts Minutemen advanced to the Atlantic-10 Tournament semifinals with a 79-74 upset of the Temple Owls at the Barclay Center.
UMass (21-10), which also knocked Temple out of the tourney a year ago, got 15 points from both Freddie Riley and Terrell Vinson. The Minutemen will take on VCU in Saturday's semifinals.
Khalif Wyatt hit on just 2-of-11 shots from beyond the arc but had 19 points to pace Temple (23-9). Rahlir Hollis Jefferson added 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and Scootie Randall netted 12 points for the Owls.
At halftime Temple clung to a 38-37 edge after shooting 46.9 percent from the floor. UMass shot at a 44.8 percent clip and stayed close by netting 10-of-11 attempts from the free-throw line.
After the break the Minutemen improved to 54.5 percent shooting while the Owls dipped to 36.7 percent. Temple still held a 64-63 lead with 5:42 remaining but a layup from Cady Lalanne and a 3-pointer from Riley helped the Minutemen take the lead for good over the next four minutes.
The Owls lost despite forcing a game-high 19 turnovers which led to 17 points. UMass had a massive 40-23 edge in rebounds.

PAWTUCKET — You can't help but laugh when Gil Dolman explains how he came to enlist in the U.S. Navy at age 17. He does so in such a Pawtucket way.
"I joined up to get away from all the creeps, the bullies," the 59-year-old lifetime city resident offered. "I had been living in Prospect Heights, and I was always in fights. I didn't start them, of course; there were just kids in the heights in the 1960s and '70s who wanted to beat me up. They'd do that because they wanted to take my lunch money, or because I was hanging out with a girl, whatever.
"I was a small kid, and I always had the heart to fight back, but not the ability or know-how," he continued. "The same stuff was happening at Tolman High School. Everyone was doing drugs and partying, and – no matter what clique you were in – you were going to get involved in some type of nefarious behavior, even to the smallest degree.
"It finally got to a point where I was, like, 'Screw this, I'm outta here! I'd rather fight in the Vietnam War, fight for my country, than be with these idiot hooligans.'"
That short soliloquy, in essence, leads to the most recent – and amazing – laurel bestowed upon Dolman: On March 3, he and four others were inducted into the Karate Referees Association of New England International Hall of Fame during the KRANE Triple Crown Tournament and Awards Banquet at Warwick's Crowne Plaza Hotel.
There he received a mammoth plaque commemorating his 40th year as a competitor, instructor and referee of karate events all over the country; KRANE officials deemed it a lifetime achievement award.
"There were over 400 recipients of different awards at the event, and only five of us have ever been issued such a prestigious honor in KRANE's 41-year history," stated Dolman, who accepted the accolade along with Michael Burton of Warwick; Don Rodrigues of Coventry; Paul Johnson of Springfield, Mass.; and Bob Cheezic of Waterbury, Conn.
"This absolutely means the world to me," Dolman gushed. "You know, trophies are dust collectors and will be broken, the money you earn as a professional is always spent, the titles won are forgotten, but this plaque – as far as I'm concerned – is written in stone. It'll last forever.
"This is the best thing I've ever accomplished, without question," he added. "This is something I never thought possible, and receiving (the award), one given by such a prestigious organization, is the greatest thing I've ever experienced."
It's a classic storyline, how a frail kid opts to learn how to defend himself via the martial arts, but Dolman's delves so much deeper.
Before he graduated from Tolman in 1969, he chose to enlist due to bullies taking their own insecurities out on him.
"I remember the day I finally went to enlistment headquarters on the site of the (current) Pawtucket post office – it was May 20, 1969," he recalled. "I walked to the corner of Montecello Road and George Bennett Highway and joined. But I had to call my mother to sign the papers, (as) I was only 17.'
Dolman claimed he was shipped out the same afternoon to the Great Lakes Naval Recruit Training Command in North Chicago, Ill. He went through eight weeks of basic training, returned to "The Bucket" for a week or so, then was sent to the base in Alameda County (Oakland), Calif.
That's where he became an aviation boatsmen-mate on the U.S.S. Ranger, an aircraft carrier.
"Simply put, I just flagged the planes into the carrier, which was part of the Seventh Fleet," he said. "I did that even on open water, and it was wild."
He achieved a rank of E-4 (or petty officer), and spent nearly two years in the service before returning to the Ocean State in January 1971.
"I came home, looked around and thought, 'Gil, you're right back where you started. Here are the same people, the same area, the same dumb stuff,'" he chuckled. "That's when I thought to myself I had to get some training."
Dolman, then 20, located the only such school in the area, the old Eastern Karate Academy in Central Falls, so trekked to 860 Broad St. (he remembered the address with ease) and spoke with an instructor.
"I asked him what he taught (as) I wasn't sure if it was karate, judo or another (discipline)," he said. "When he told me 'self-defense,' that floated my boat, so to speak. That's just what I was looking for. I didn't realize at the time that karate would offer me so much and change my life. It taught me discipline, respect, dedication, self-confidence.
"I just fell in love with it," he added. "I are it, drank it, slept it, dreamed it. Honestly, I was amazed how I took to it so easily. There were students there who were higher ranked than me, but they struggled with it. It came so natural to me, even I was shocked. That's when I thought I had found my niche."
He began competing almost immediately. His instructor, Ernie St. Laurent, informed him of the Black Dragon Karate Tournament in South Attleboro, so registered. When he came back with two trophies, those snared in the White Belt Division's fighting and kata (form) categories, even St. Laurent couldn't believe it.
"He was floored," Dolman grinned. "I had very little training. I mean, most people go into their first competition not to win but just for experience. Ernie said, 'You've got to be kidding me! One trophy is phenomenal, given your experience, but two? That's ridiculous."
It wasn't to Dolman. In October 1974, he earned his black belt, and blew his own mind when he defeated the defending world champion, Bob Campbell, to become the new U.S. weapons (nunchuks) champion at the Prudential Center in Boston.
"I got a perfect score – all 10s," he beamed. "That was my first national championship. When I won, I thought to myself, 'Winning is great, but beating the world champ is better.'"
Not long after, he attended the Canadian Open National Tournament in Nova Scotia, and claimed that weapons title as well.
In 1977, he traveled to Los Angeles for the Karate Olympics and gleaned a gold medal in the weapons division, not to mention a silver in fighting and a bronze in kata. Later, all the while refereeing and teaching locally to pay the bills, he captured an incredible three events at the 1989 New England Karate Open Championships in Providence.
"I finished first in kata, first in weapons and first in fighting; that had never been done before," he stated proudly. "Usually, competitors are very efficient in one discipline, but not all three. Newspaper people came to me to ask questions, and my instructor couldn't believe all the write-ups."
Stated his wife of four years, Sue: "The garage (also his dojo) is plastered with those articles. He even had bumper stickers with his name on them, calling him the three-time New England champion."
Dolman chose to turn professional back in 1975, and quickly joined a new organization entitled the Professional Karate Association, that based in East Greenwich). He also became a member of the R.I. Thunderbolts squad, one that traveled nationally to face other states' top fighters.
"It was a five-man team, and we finished undefeated in at least 25 competitions," he mentioned. "I fought in the middleweight division (169-181 pounds), and went 25-0. We got paid $250 for each fight back then, and they also paid for food, lodging, travel expenses, etc. It wasn't a lot of money back then, but it was a great experience.
"Now, they get paid $25,000 per bout. I think I was born too early!"
After 25 years as a professional, he decided to retire in January 2000, and – a month later – he opened his own studio in Riverside. He named it "Sensai-tional Fitness & Karate Center.
"I did that because a karate teacher is called a 'sensai,' and I wanted to put my own little mark on it; I thought I was being creative," he laughed. "The reason I wanted to do that was Billy Blanks had come up with 'Tai Bo.' Tai means foot, and 'Bo" means hand. It also is short for boxing.
"It was really great cardio for men, women and children," he continued. "It went really well, until the owner sold the building two years later. He left me high and dry, so I went back to teaching, competing and judging."
Dolman was on top of the world at that time, or so he thought. On Aug. 6, 2007, he suffered a massive heart attack in his sleep and nearly died next to his wife.
"I remember, it was 11:33 p.m. on a Saturday. He woke up and told me he was having serious pains in his chest," Sue Dolman recalled. "He didn't want to take an ambulance, so I'm the one who drove him to the (Veterans Administration) hospital (in Providence).
"They don't do heart surgeries at the VA, so they transported him to Boston," she added. "The doctors told him he never should have woke up."
Revealed Dolman: "They told me I survived because of all my training. They said I had four completely blocked valves to all four chambers; they were all 98-percent blocked, so only two percent were working. I had quadruple bypass the next day, and the doctor came out and said, 'From now on, Gil, no more training, you got me? You can teach, that's it!'
"I said, 'OK, doc,' but I didn't mean it. Deep down, I was thinking, 'Ain't gonna happen! There's no way.'"
Sue indicated that as soon as he returned home, he wanted to begin lifting weights, and she screamed at him.
"I thought he was out of his mind; I tried to take him for a walk, but that didn't go so well," she said.
Six weeks later, he began a steady diet of lifting and fast walking. By November 2007, he entered the KRANE Triple Crown National Open Tournament at the Crowne Plaza, and – naturally – won the Over-50 Division fighting title.
Dolman, who had opened and captained two other dojos – one in Providence in 1978 and another in Rumford in 1984, spent most of the '90s as a teacher and judge, but returned to competition in 2000 so his students could learn by watching him and other experienced martial artists compete.
He doesn't compete much now, as his teaching and judging takes up a majority of his time. He did, however, sign up for the Connecticut Open National Championships in Norwich in March 2011, and placed first in the 50-and-over Black Belt Division's fighting category.
He did the same at the Western Massachusetts Open Nationals in Springfield last May, and also at the KRANE Triple Crown Summer Tournament in Warwick last July.
"Imagine that: 59 years old, going on 60 (his birthday is March 22), and still fighting," he giggled. "I surprise even myself."
When asked if he ever returned to Prospect Heights to catch a glimpse of an old nemesis or two, he smiled widely, then answered, "There was a couple of bullies I tracked down in Pawtucket in the mid-'70s. One was sitting on a lawn at the Heights, and I walked by. I hate to say it, but I took out all of those years of frustration, anger, and I guess you could call it embarrassment, and just beat him up. He never had a chance.
"I wasn't looking for it, I just had a flood of emotions overcome me," he added. "It was something I just couldn't ignore."
Nowadays, he acts as a volunteer instructor for Jim Perlini, a Black Belt who appropriately who owns the Super Kicks Black Belt Leadership Academy on Benefit Street in Pawtucket. He also continues to judge competitions area-wide.
He continues to train, he says, because it makes him feel good.
"It keeps me in shape, and I love the mental aspect, which includes the atmosphere surrounding a dojo," he noted. "They call it the power of ki, which means the strength from within. It's also a great stress reliever. The everyday situations of life are stressful, so this keeps me on an even keel, gives me confidence."
Naturally, so does his new plaque, one telling him he's an International Karate Hall of Famer.
"That means so much, but so does teaching," he explained. "When I'm teaching, I can envision what these kids have been through. I can relate, but I also love seeing the end results. When a kid gets his brown or black belt, I can see how proud he is because he knows he achieved something so special.
"I also see the respect he has for himself and others. You get to mold these kids; you see them become more socially accepted. That's because their confidence has grown, their values have changed for the better, and they're just better people. I adore teaching."

Overall Experience
A great location to stay for business
September 28, 2015
I travel quite frequently and spend a lot of time in Oconomowoc so this location is great. The hotel staff is always friendly and ready to help with any and all needs. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. And with traveling for business all the time it is nice to be able to have a great breakfast in the morning and after work come back to a nice social in the evening. This hotel has it all and everything is done right. But my biggest compliment is to the staff like I said before they're great and all do an excellent job.
Excellent Place to Stay!

Sitting at the desk in the room, I looked up and had small bugs crawling on the wall, smashed them looked up a while later and had crickets crawling on the wall. I let the desk clerk know about this and all she said well we are out in the country.

NORMAN — Near the end of Oklahoma's winter conditioning, secondary coach Willie Martinez informed Aaron Colvin he'd be moving from cornerback to safety for the spring.
OU's Aaron Colvin moved to safety, coaches impressed
"At first, I was a little worried," Colvin admitted. "Like 'Can I do it? Am I big enough?'
"But he told me he was confident I could do it."
Two practices in, the Colvin-to-safety experiment couldn't be going better.
"He's looked really good," coach Bob Stoops said Wednesday, following OU's second practice of the spring. "He's a great athlete, hustling around. He's really smart, and that position requires that.
"He's going to be really good there."
On a team that returns 15 starters, the Sooner defensive backfield essentially is the only position group in flux. Safeties Quinton Carter and Jonathan Nelson have graduated, and All-Big 12 cornerback Jamell Fleming currently is not enrolled at OU as he works through academic issues.
But even with cornerback Demontre Hurst being the lone returning starter on campus, the Sooners remain optimistic about the secondary, thanks in large part to Colvin's so far seamless switch to safety.
"I believe it's going to be great for us," Stoops said. "That position, the way the strong safety plays in today's world, the guy has to have corner-like ability, to be able to run and change direction because of the nature of so many spread-out teams. ... and a lot of times, even if he's playing zone and gets some underneath coverage, anything down the middle of the field, he's in a man position against a speed receiver, a slot receiver."

Lynn off to good start
NORMAN — Aaron Colvin's replacement at cornerback, sophomore Gabe Lynn, has also had a good start to the spring.
"He's done well," coach Bob Stoops said after Wednesday's practice. "Gabe's had a couple of really good days, and I'm really excited about the way he's playing right away, too."
Lynn, a former No. 1 instate recruit, redshirted in 2009 and played sparingly last year. Now, with Colvin moving to safety and Jamell Fleming currently not in school, Lynn is getting his chance.
"I'm real excited," he said. "I hope Jamell can get back, but either way, I'm gonna go compete and try to earn a spot on the depth chart somewhere."

Missouri State's Kyle Weems dunks the ball on a breakaway past the defense of Creighton's Cavel Witter during the second half.

Nearly an hour before tipoff, Cuonzo Martin sensed something different about his Missouri State basketball team.
"I'm drawing on the chalkboard in the locker room and thought, 'Man, they have energy. What's going on?' "
The Bears used that energy to take out some recent and longtime frustration Saturday night. ...

Getting toxic texts? Here's what to do
NAPLES - Under FCC rules, texts and commercial email messages may be sent to your mobile phone if you previously agreed to receive them.
Consent must be in writing — such as an email or letter — for a business to send commercial text message ads. However, only oral consent is required for non-commercial, informational texts, including those sent on behalf of tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations; for political purposes; or other non-commercial purposes, such as for school closings.
After you opt-in or give your authorization, all commercial texts must allow you to "opt out" of receiving future messages the same way you opted in, including by dialing a short code or cell phone number. Senders have 10 days to honor opt-out requests.
If you do provide a shop, restaurant or other business with your cell phone number, read and understand the entire consent form. Determine if the policy allows the company to sell your information.
Don't display your cell phone number or email address in public and be careful about giving out your cell phone number, email or other personal information.
Don't respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources.
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon customers can forward the text to 7726 (SPAM), which helps providers prevent future unwanted texts from that sender. Sprint tells users that to block a short code, enter 9999 and block followed by the short code.

Eltima offers advanced Flash player
updated 08:35 am EST, Tue December 27, 2005
SWF Movie Player
Eltima Software has released , a free, small and streamlined Flash player for Mac OS that offers many unique and convenient extensions, such as zooming, playlist, SWF Info, and standard movie controls. Described as having "everything which standard Flash lacks," the software is based on the standard Macromedia Flash player for Mac OS X. SWF Movie Player brings advanced features that enables users to play, rewind, fast-forward and preview SWF files frame-by-frame, and also create and manage playlists, zoom movies in/out, fit to current window size or restore to original one, set playback quality, control Flash security, check SWF file's comprehensive information and lots more. It is free and runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
Eltima says that it allows users to figure out if the Flash movie has been finished, which it says "is not always a simple task since quite a few of SWF files are not played till the ending frame or play repeatedly." The company says it also allows users to easily switch to zooming mode to visualize zoomed image boundaries as well as navigate within a Zoom Drawer. The player also offers an advanced Flash security option to restrict access to non-local resources (URL/images/third-party SWF files) and run SWF files "in a sandbox".
"Created with the simplicity and resource efficiency in mind, SWF Movie Player provides absolute control of the playback and lets you manage Flash movies at your fingertips. Packed with various customizable options, it provides clean and intuitive interface which will suite even the most refined taste. And all of that is offered to Mac users absolutely free."

Of all the good things the Seahawks' defense has done during the team's 3-0 start, it all starts with the speed that was a priority when coach Pete Carroll was compiling these players who are playing sowell.
What's the most impressive element of the Seahawks' top-ranked defense?
Prior to the season opener in Carolina, Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith pointed to the Seahawks' physical secondary … and the unit's overall speed. The week of the home opener against the 49ers, San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh also started with the star-studded secondary … but didn't stop until he too had mentioned the speed. Last week, when former defensive coordinator Gus Bradley returned to Seattle as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, he discussed how he's trying to build a defense like the one he coordinated with the Seahawks … starting with the speed of the unit.
This week, Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak cut to the chase when asked what jumps out about the Seahawks defense his offense is preparing to face Sunday at Reliant Stadium.
"I think the speed, that's No. 1," he said. "Just very active, fly to the ball, don't give up big plays. Obviously their two corners (Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner) are great players and can lock people down. But I just think their overall effort and speed and the way they rally to the football; big, big challenge for us."
And that was the challenge for Pete Carroll after he was hired as the Seahawks coach in 2010 – finding players who could play defense the way he wants it played, starting with that speed.
"It's always been one of the aspects of building a defense that we wanted to stand by, because you need to chase the football and it's such an advantage when your guys can fly," Carroll said.
So Carroll and general manager John Schneider wasted no time in finding those flyers.
In their first offseason together, they traded for Chris Clemons, whose skills are a perfect match for the Leo end spot in Carroll's defense. Starting with his speed. Clemons ran the 40-yard in 4.62 seconds coming out of Georgia in 2003. The NFL Draft that year delivered Earl Thomas, whose 4.37-second speed in the 40 allows him to be the centerfielder of a free safety that is imperative in Carroll's defense; Kam Chancellor, who has enough speed (4.59 seconds) and more than enough muscle to fill the strong safety role; and nickel back Walter Thurmond, who plays even faster than his speed (4.53) would indicate.
In 2011, those cornerbacks Kubiak mentioned were added – Sherman in the draft and Browner as a free agent after playing four seasons in CFL. As with the safeties, Sherman is fast (4.53) and Browner is faster (4.63) than a guy who is 6 feet 4 and 221 pounds should be. The draft also delivered linebackers K.J. Wright, whose length compensates for his lack of elite speed (4.71); and Malcolm Smith, who has that elite speed (4.44).
Last year, Carroll wanted more speed at the middle linebacker position and an edge pass-rusher to complement Clemons. He found both in the NFL Draft, selecting leading tackler Bobby Wagner (4.46) in the second round and Bruce Irvin (4.5) in the first. Irvin is currently serving the final week of his four-game suspension to open this season, but he led all NFL rookies with eight sacks last season.
This year, free agency delivered rush-end Cliff Avril (4.51) and the versatile O'Brien Schofield (4.61) was claimed off waivers.
"The hard part," Carroll said, "is when you want to be big and strong and also be able to fly around. So we kind of mix. We have a couple big guys that sit inside and then we try to have a lot of speed at all the spots around it."
That's where holdovers Red Bryantand Brandon Mebane come in, all 634 pounds of them. But even Bryant, who is now playing end, had the second-fastest time (4.98) among the defensive tackles at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2008; and Mebane, the nose tackle, was a few ticks slower (5.15) in 2007.
"It's just for pursuit, really, and the activity and the pressure," Carroll said. "And playmaking ability we've always found comes better out of the guys that are the most mobile."
And how's the working out as the Seahawks look to start 4-0 for the first time in franchise history? The Seahawks have generated 10 turnovers, which ties for second in the league, while allowing the fewest points and average yards in the NFL.
But this unit's signature trait is how well its players run to the ball. Freeze frame just about any tackle and there are three or four or even five other players in that frame who could have made the tackle.
"That's what makes our defense what it is right now, we're like piranhas," Thomas said. "We're all around the ball. When you watch the film, you see a lot of blue jerseys – or whatever jerseys we're wearing that week – around the ball.
"The second man in always is going for the ball and that puts a lot on the ball carrier's mind. When you're running with the ball you have to have ball security. We're ball conscious around here."

Red Hook Roadby Ayelet Waldman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As lyrical as a sonata, Ayelet Waldman's follow-up novel to Love and Other Impossible Pursuits explores the aftermath of a family tragedy.
Set on the coast of Maine over the course of four summers, Red Hook Road tells the story of two families, the Tetherlys and the Copakens, and of the ways in which their lives are unraveled and stitched together by misfortune, by good intentions and failure, and by love and calamity.
A marriage collapses under the strain of a daughter's death; two bereaved siblings find comfort in one another; and an adopted young girl breathes new life into her family with her prodigious talent for the violin. As she writes with obvious affection for these unforgettable characters, Ayelet Waldman skillfully interweaves life's finer pleasures--music and literature--with the more mundane joys of living. Within these resonant pages, a vase filled with wildflowers or a cold beer on a hot summer day serve as constant reminders that it's often the little things that make life so precious.
From the Hardcover edition.
A rich and rewarding story of love, loss, and the power of family from the bestselling author of Bad Mother and Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.
In the aftermath of a devastating wedding day, two families, the Tetherlys and the Copakens, find their lives unraveled by unthinkable loss. Over the course of the next four summers in Red Hook, Maine, they struggle to bridge differences of class and background to honor the memory of the couple, Becca and John. As Waldman explores the unique and personal ways in which each character responds to the tragedy—from the budding romance between the two surviving children, Ruthie and Matt, to the struggling marriage between Iris, a high strung professor in New York, and her husband Daniel—she creates a powerful family portrait and a beautiful reminder of the joys of life.
Elegantly written and emotionally gripping, Red Hook Road affirms Waldman's place among today's most talented authors.

Minnesota Legend John Mayasich Named AHCA's Lamoriello Award Winner
Former University of Minnesota men's hockey player John Mayasich, considered by many to be the greatest American-born hockey player of all time, has been chosen as the recipient of the 2006 Lou Lamoriello Award by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA). The award, named after the former Providence College player and coach and current New Jersey Devils president and coach honors a former member of the college hockey community who has forged a unique career after college hockey.
Mayasich enjoyed an outstanding career as one of the top broadcast executives in the region. A University of Minnesota graduate, Mayasich entered the broadcast industry with a sales position at KSTP Radio in 1957. He moved to WFRV TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1959 and later became sales manager at WDUZ Radio in Green Bay.
He returned to Hubbard Broadcasting in 1974, and became general manager of KS95 FM, making it the highest-rate FM station in the top 30 US markets. In 1983, he began a twelve-year term as president of the radio division of Hubbard Broadcasting, later serving as head of public relations. He retired in 1997, but remains active as a consultant to Hubbard Broadcasting.
Widely respected among his peers in the industry, he served for nine years on the board of directors of the Minnesota Broadcasters Association, and was its president for 1993 to 1994.
As a player, Mayasich excelled like no other. Here are just a few of his on-ice accomplishments:
Led Eveleth High School to four straight Minnesota high school championships from 1948-1951, never losing a single high school game in four years.
Set numerous high school tournament records, ten of which still stood nearly 50 years later.
Led the University of Minnesota to two NCAA championship games (1953 and 1954.)
Set numerous University of Minnesota records, including goals (144) and points (298), which still stand.
Won silver (1956) and gold (1960) medals as a member of two U.S. Olympic teams.
Played on various U.S. National Teams up through 1966, eleven years after graduating from college.
Named one of Western Collegiate Hockey Association's Top 50 Players in 50 Years in 2002-03 and named WCHA's All-Time Best Player in 50th Anniversary Issue of The Hockey News in 1997.
Became the only Golden Gopher in the history of the program to habe his number retired. His No. 8 was retired on Nov. 14, 1998, before Minnesota's game against North Dakota.
The previous winners of the Lamoriello Award are Tom "Red" Martin of Boston College (2005) and Lou Lamoriello (2005). The award will be presented at an April 7 luncheon during the 2006 NCAA Frozen Four weekend in Milwaukee, WI.

The Knicks need to be very efficient against the veteran Spurs and hopefully they can steal a game.

Tuning the shape- and size-specific properties of nanoparticles is critically important for the emerging U.S. nanotechnology industry. The U.S. has invested more than $8 billion in nanotechnology research and development since 2000, and the National Science Foundation estimates the global market for nanotechnology products will be about $1 trillion by 2015. In its 2007 strategic plan, the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which oversees U.S. nanotechnology research spending, pointed to the critical need for synthesis and processing techniques that yield high-quality, pure nanomaterials.
Nanorods are produced by mixing several chemicals in a precise, multi-step process. The method also produces gold nanoparticles of other shapes, including spheres and flattened sheets called platelets. Researchers had previously found a way to remove the spheres; the nanorods and platelets were allowed to gradually sink to the bottom of the mixture, and the spheres were siphoned away.
While conducting research on a different project, Zubarev and Khanal noticed that the nanorods and platelets in the remaining solution shrank when a solution of gold ions was added. They found that the platelets shrank much faster than the nanorods, and by tuning the process they discovered they could filter out the platelets and produce nanorod solutions that were more than 99 percent pure.
