ELLISVILLE, Mo. (KSDK) - In February, 5 On Your Side brought you the story of a west St. Louis County woman scammed out of her life savings.
Authorities are investigating the Jamaican lottery scam not only in our area, but across the country. 5 On Your Side's Mike Rush shares local efforts to stop the scammers, before they claim another victim.
Ellisville police officers Joey Nickles and Angela Walsh are on a mission to stop scams before they happen.
"There is no way we can sit here and tell you about all the different types of fraud out there," said Nickles. "It is endless."
"Our goal is to hopefully get out there, let people know what's going on, and hopefully to stop them from becoming a victim, a victim of thousands of dollars they won't ever see again," said Walsh.
The presentation they're sharing with seniors at Gambrill Gardens, was a result of a elderly woman's involvement in a lottery scam, that eventually cost her life savings.
5 on Your Side brought you Mary's story in February. Now these officers are using it to get their point across to seniors like Mary, who are often targeted by scammers. Ellisville officers investigated that original case.
"I was like oh, I cannot believe this happened to this poor lady," said Nickles. "She was incredibly sweet, she was very articulate and she was not the kind of person that I would have thought would be a victim of this kind of crime, because there was so much money involved."
Mary's family estimates she lost more than a $100,000. It's an eye opener for Ed and Geneva Martin who've received at least two bogus lottery letters in the past few weeks, with checks totaling about $9,000.
"I talked to my wife and my wife said, it's a scam!" said Ed. "So I just took the letter and the check to the banker and said would check this out, she checked it out and she called me back the next day and said this is a scam, and I said then throw away the letter, the check, everything."
"Nobody gives you something for nothing," said Geneva. "It' s the elderly now, that they're after, it really is the elderly now. They're the ones that have the big bucks."
"Geneva is wise beyond her years," said Ed.
While the Martins weren't fooled into handing over any money, officers want these people to feel comfortable calling police with any concerns.
"Let's not be embarrassed, because if we're embarrassed how are we supposed to know about it, so don't ever, ever, ever be afraid to let us knows, or ask a question," said Walsh.
Many lottery scams that originate overseas, include awkward or overly complicated language, ask you to pay for things like taxes and delivery charges, and most importantly they promise things that are just too good to be true.
"The biggest defense is your mind, just using some healthy logic and rational reasoning and thought and I know that a lot of time that's very difficult, because the bad guys are very, very sophisticated they understand human psychology and they exploit it, and it's very, very difficult combat it," said Nickles.
But these officers are doing their best to arm seniors with the information, before they become a victim.
"Hopefully at some point there won't be anyone left to scam," said Walsh.
The Ellisville Police Department is planning to hold a public seminar in the near future and you're invited to attend. For details you can call the department at 636-227-7777.

"Slashers": When Your Career Is Three Careers
You've got your main hustle, your side hustle, and your side-side hustle. Sounds tiring, but increasingly that's how you build a portfolio—and stay in the black in case one dries up.
What do you call someone like Russ Juskalian, a travel writer/photographer/instructor?
Over at LearnVest, Alyssa Goldman provides a descriptor: Juskalian is a "slasher," a person with a "portfolio career," usually a combination of part-time employment, temporary work, and freelance gigs—or, alternatively, a full-timer with a side hustle.
The way we slash now
The "portfolio career" has caught on for a few reasons, Goldman says:
- When you have multiple jobs going, losing one won't throw you into a panic (sounds evolved, right?)
- No one stays at the same job for more than a few years now anyway
- Pursuing multiple projects can lead to a more fulfilling work-life blend
If you have that diverse skillset—and demand diversity in your life—then you might be ready to make the Gen Flux leap. If so, Goldman's got the prep-sheet:
- Foresee conflicts of interest: Forecast whether your side hustle will take you away from the full-time job—if so, you may need to have a hard and honest talk with your manager.
- Have one consistent revenue stream: It'll act as a home base from which you can branch out and find new work.
- Amass the rainy-day fund: A multiplatform hustle doesn't guarantee you'll always be bringing home the bacon. Have some in the freezer for unforeseen circumstances. And if you've got dependents, make sure you've got a lot in storage.

Over in the UK we have problems with the word 'slash' as that is slang for going for a pee! I have now explained that to Alyssa Goldman who interviewed me for the article. Before we wrote a book on this in 2010: And What Do You Do? 10 Steps to Creating a Portfolio Career the term was hardly used here either in spite of the fact that the concept was defined by one of our leading management writers, Charles Handy, in 1993. It is becoming increasingly a career pattern of choice especially for the Gen Y's and increasingly and most interestingly for the 60+ group. But it is not for everyone. If you look at our website, portfoliocareers.net, you can take a free test to see if you might be suited to it. There are many pluses but the people who we interviewed all see that it gave them more security since 2008 as all their occupational eggs were not in one employer's basket.
Actually, it's called struggling. People must do as much as they can to keep their head above water.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) -- Less than two weeks from Election Day and candidates for Missouri's 3rd Congressional seat seem to be playing hardball.
The website TheRealEdMartin.com went online earlier this week. And it levels some serious charges at the Republican Representative candidate, trying to connect his time working with the Catholic Church to the sex abuse scandals.
The website's creator claims to be working independently with a former Dateline NBC producer. He said he's uncovered evidence that shows Ed Martin could have done more to prevent sex crimes against children in the Catholic Church.
Martin, an attorney, previously worked for the Archdiocese of St. Louis as the director of the Human Rights Office. The website claims Martin was advising those who attempted to cover up sex abuse cases.
Martin said he had no involvement in any such decisions and blames the Russ Carnahan campaign for smearing his name.
Every Catholic in St. Louis, every Catholic in Missouri, every Catholic in America, should be offended by the smear that Congressman Russ Carnahan has perpetrated on this campaign.
The Carnahan campaign denies any connection to the website. The site's creator said he was hired to do research for the campaign, but parted ways with Carnahan's people after disagreeing about whether or not to pursue these allegations.
Martin was also sued by a fellow Republican for allegedly violating the terms of a previous settlement that goes back to his days with the St. Louis Board of Elections Commissioners.
Martin also calls the suit a political play by a Carnahan supporter, the attorney in the case, Chet Pleban.

there are only so many female disney villains. there's lady tremaine and the the stepsisters but since they've abandoned the cinderella story i'm guessing it's not her. there's yzma from the emperor's new groove, but i also doubt that. the most obvious choice is mother gothel since they've just casted rapunzel!!
the quote is from 1x04 bad news blair...
Also, it was a slide phone and took ages to load the pictures. good riddance!
Also it was rather clear that Qetsiyah lied and she didn't actually kill Amara. Think about it: there was no body seen, and as everyone knows, on TV an unseen corpse isn't a corpse at all. If Amara was dead, there would be no need for doppelgängers anymore. Not to mention, that the doppelgängers run in the family, so Amara must've had a child - presumably after the whole Qetsiyah drama. I still don't know how Tatia plays into all of this (or if Julie Plec will ever reveal anything about her again) but I'm dying to know.
can somebody explain the biggest question on my mind right now please?
Qetsiya claims she is the original witch (she did not explicitly say so but it's implied), who created doppelgängers of Silas and Amara because they cheated death.
Only two seasons ago Esther claimed she was the original witch (explicitly said) who created the first doppelgänger, a girl called Tatia, to seal the hybrid curse. So basically what they're telling us is that Qetsiya created a doppelgänger line for Amara, a couple of centuries later, Klaus and Elijah meet one of those doppelgängers and Esther picks her for her spell and coincidentally makes her a doppelgänger, the very same creature she's already supposed to be for a different reason. What?!?
christina tran, no offence, but this was more of a recap than a review. we all saw the episode, there's no need to tell us what happened all over again.
Very good episode! Top notch compared with the rest of this season.
Very good episode!!!!! Very well done, compared to previous episodes this season!
(continued) ...Are the writers so bored with her character that they only give her other girls' leftovers and never a decent storyline? (the baby frenzy is a terrible storyline btw..) And have these girls never heard of the biggest rule in girldom: never hook up with your BFF's ex (or current boyfriend for that matter?)
And I really really doubt that Naomi is going to go and be with this Jordan person who they have literally just introduced - there's no chemistry there.
Sorry to everyone on team Silver but I really hate her character. She hooked up with Ethan right after he and Annie broke up, she hooked up with Navid while Ade was dating him, no matter what kind of a diva she was. She hooked up with Liam very randomly then refused to choose between Liam and Navid and caused them to fight over her. now mark. i have this feeling she goes behind people's backs, justifying it by saying "i'm such a nice person though" which she is not. Adrianna might have a bad habit of wanting revenge when somebody is going behind her back and exaggerating a little, but Silver has a problem as to know where the line is. (continued)

Using SSL to Communicate with Exchange Server
Updated: August 13, 2009
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 with SP1
A best practice in using the SMTP exit module of a certification authority with a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server is to configure the CA to communicate with the Exchange Server over SSL (SMTP Protocol). The following steps should be implemented to enable this enhanced security configuration once the SMTP exit module is already configured on the CA for operation:
Make sure the Root CA that issued the server certificate for the Exchange Server is trusted by the CA.
Configure the Exchange Server SMTP Protocol to use SSL by enrolling for a Server Certificate using the Wizard in the Exchange System Manager console.
Open the Exchange System Manager on the Exchange server by selecting Start >
Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager.
In the left-pane view, expand Servers > SERVER_NAME > Protocols > SMTP > Default SMTP Virtual Server.
Right-click Default SMTP Virtual Server, and then select Properties.
Click the Access tab, and then select the Certificate button under Secure communication.
Follow the directions in the Wizard and when completed, go back to the Default SMTP Virtual Server Properties and select Communication.
Select the Require secure channel checkbox. It is recommended to set Require 128-bit encryption.
At a CMD prompt on the CA, type the following command:
certutil -setreg exit\smtp\http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl 1
|This will add a REG_SZ value: http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl with a value of 1 to the SMTP key in the registry.

Adam Kokesh , journalist and author of "Freedom", recently gave an interview with Examiner , and when asked what he thought the arrest of singer Justin Bieber , held last January 23 in Miami, the same argues that the Canadian is loving the attention it is getting.
"Seeing the mugshot photo of Justin Bieber and comparing to mine, where I was smiling too, I mean every time I pointed the camera at me, I said, 'Good for him'"Adam said.
"I am completely confident that he is loving all this attention," Kokesh suggested especially for Bieber, "He has become a great person in the music industry and large studios, a situation that recently led him to announce he would retire. "
Smiling shyly, Kokesh admitted through pop culture news was hard to avoid. "'m ashamed to know so much about it," he adds.
Continuing, Adam adds, "It's pretty cool to know that he was able to smile and endure it." Journalist of 31 years also comments on the childhood of the singer, "He probably had a childhood much atrophied and was prevented from learning a lot of things. This experience with the law might teach him something. "
"Many people hate him for absurd reasons, seeing a guy smiling in a mugshot, I really appreciate it," Adam Kokesh ends.
On the afternoon of Tuesday (28), the Panamanian fans had to bid farewell to Bieber and hours after the singer of 19 years has left Panama, a video of Justin at Tocumen airport were disclosed.

Hi all,
I wondered what you all thought about kids and when they start riding etc.
How old were you when you started to ride?
What age did you learn to jump?
My daughter Ellie is pony crazy, only turned 4yrs in January and has been riding for almost a year. She has lessons with two different instructors and is progressing really well. Her rising and sitting trot is fab. But she wants to canter, wants to jump and I wont let her yet. I'm just really protective of her and would prefer her to wait a few years yet.
So when did all of you start? Whats your opinions?

As spring approaches, the temperatures are warming up, and so are the members of the Washington County High School baseball team. But while the mercury is still in the low 30s, that's not going to be any excuse for coach Derek Schuler's team not to be prepared.
SCC Sports Information
The St. Catharine College women's basketball team finished the season with two losses last week. The setbacks left Lena Bramblett's team with a final slate of 12-18 overall and a Mid-South Conference mark of 2-10.
Who can you trust?
It's getting more and more disheartening as I realize we're living in a world where it's getting hard to trust people. For example, the recent media blitz about Alex Rodriguez using steroids.
The wind was howling, the mercury remained around freezing and some overnight ice threatened one of the weekend games between St. Catharine College and visiting Indiana University Northwest from Gary, Indiana.
But Luther Bramblett's Bat Pats made the chilly temperatures a little more bearable at Edelen-Haydon Field by swinging some hot bats in a three-game sweep of the Redhawks who were in action for the first time this season. Saturday saw the Patriots sweep a twin bill by scores of 10-0 and 9-6. Sunday they plucked the Redhawks 22-1.
The St. Catharine College softball team has already had three doubleheaders postponed due to inclement weather. And, just as the weather has been up and down, so has Holly Smith's Patriots who are off to a 2-4 start. After getting swept in the season opening DH at Bellarmine, Smith's group responded with a sweep at Alice Lloyd College before losing twice at Union.
The St. Catharine College basketball season ended last Saturday with J.T. Burton's Patriots falling 77-63 at Lindsey Wilson College. That followed Thursday's 78-42 setback at Georgetown giving the Patriots a final record of 5-25 in their first NAIA campaign.
The 2008-09 season came to an end for the Washington County Commanderettes Tuesday night as they fell to Bardstown 54-48 on their home court in the first round of the 19th District Tournament.
Tyler Smith is a rare two sport fall athlete. He is a member of the Highlands state runner-up soccer team and a member of the cross country team. Tyler has been a varsity letterman on the Highlands cross country team for four years. He was a part of the 2006 and 2007 AA Regional 5 championship teams. He was also a part of the 2007 cross country team that placed third at the state meet. He has been a two-year varsity starter and captain on the Highlands soccer team. This year the team made it to the state tournament finals for the first time in school history.
The St. Catharine College softball team ended its junior college status with a bang last year with a regional title and a trip to the national tournament, where they finished in the Elite Eight. Holly Smith, in her fifth year as head coach of the Patriots, sees no reason to not repeat such success with nearly all of her starting lineup returning.
Note: The Washington County Commanderettes began 19th District Tournament play Tuesday night. Results were not available at press time. Please visit www.readthesun.com for up-to-date highlights of all Washington County and 19th District action.

While most of the chinooks hooked run in the 5- to 15-pound class with an occasional "20" every now and then a giant in the 25- to 30-pound-plus range hammers a bait. When you finally get one of those trophies boatside, be prepared to be impressed. A 40-inch summer "king" is a sight to behold! / Photo by Kevin Naze
Watch the weather, and even small boat trollers can safely and successfully fish miles off shore on Lake Michigan. Unlike fishing structure for bass or walleyes, open-water action for salmon and trout often means getting away from the crowds and looking for schools of baitfish. Where you find alewives, chinooks and steelhead won't usually be far behind. / Photo by Kevin Naze
ALGOMA — Once known as the Coho Capitol of the Midwest, Algoma has long since switched gears to targeting chinook salmon and rainbow, lake and brown trout.
There are still cohos to be caught, for sure, but nothing like the bonanza taking place right now in the southern lake basin.
More than a handful of Algoma charter boats head south to Winthrop Harbor, Ill., early each spring to tangle with the abundant and tasty cohos before returning home later in spring to cash in on the Algoma areas reputation as a Great Lakes hot spot for kings (chinooks) and steelhead (rainbow trout).
With their sizzling runs, cooler-filling length and girth and amazing fillets for grilling or smoking, theres little doubt that chinooks are the most sought-after summer species swimming the big lake.
DNR creel harvest reports and charter captain records show that Algoma and Kewaunee have combined to set the pace in the Wisconsin king salmon harvest for 18 straight seasons. Kewaunee County is the only state county to ever have a 100,000-plus chinook harvest in a single year, and has done it five times in the past 10 years.
Additionally, if you like to fish high-flying, head-shaking rainbows, Kewaunee County has been No. 1 for steelhead 22 of the past 25 years, including 12 straight.
All told, Algoma and Kewaunee have produced more than 850,000 chinooks and some 150,000 steelhead over the past decade, more than a million of the top sport fish on Wisconsins favorite lake since 2004.
While the summer of 2013 saw some inconsistent king catches, the average size was up significantly over the previous season. There were 57 chinooks larger than 25 pounds registered in a 9-day salmon tournament, including the winning fish at more than 32 pounds.
Once the water finally set up late in summer, the action got much more consistent. Some of the best charter catches of the season took place from late August well into October, after many private anglers had already traded their fishing rigs for bows and shotguns.
Inspired by the large runs of spawning chinooks in the tributaries last fall, and the excellent catches of younger salmon and steelhead in September and October, veteran captains are expecting a more normal summer this year.
That means that once the water warms a little more, they plan to be hollering, FISH ON! a lot.

History on its side
Algoma was the site of Wisconsins first salmon stocking in 1968. At one time or another, the city held most trout and salmon state records. It still claims three, including a 42-inch, 27.11-pound rainbow.
With the city marina recently seeing a management change and lake levels up 14 inches over last year at this time, theres more optimism heading into the peak months of June, July and August.
When launch docks were still sitting on concrete instead of in the water earlier this spring and brown trout action was hot in the nearshore shallows city crews got the message loud and clear, vowing not to let that happen again.
Lee Haasch of the Algoma Chamber of Commerces tourism committee said theres a renewed emphasis on trying to meet the needs of Great Lakes anglers, from pier fishermen to charter customers to launch ramp anglers to seasonals moored in the city marina, private marina or on upriver docks.
Were looking to bring back that image of friendly Algoma, Haasch said. We appreciate all the visiting anglers, and we think theyll appreciate what we have to offer here.
Algoma has about three dozen licensed charter fishing operations, the most in Wisconsin. Five-, 6- and 8-hour morning trips are very popular, but there are also 5- or 6-hour afternoon options. A few captains even offer shorter evening runs to cash in on the night bite.
Keep in mind is that the water is still very cold in spring and early summer. Dress in comfortable clothes, and wear layers so you can take some off as the day warms. Polarized sunglasses, soft-soled shoes, snacks, sunscreen and a camera are among the other essentials.
If youre pulling your own boat to fish for salmon and trout and an east wind kicks up, theres an option to trailer and launch at Dyckesville for walleyes. In fact, many times on what appears to be a rare blow day, anglers can be seen cleaning eyes at Algomas state-of-the-art green fish-cleaning station. Thats because a strong east wind still allows fishing for walleyes near the protection of the west shore of Green Bay at Dyckesville, just 17 miles west of Algoma on County S.
The $100,000 fish cleaning station facility uses a unique conveyor system and cooled totes to store the waste in between pickups from a local liquid fish fertilizer company, the Dramm Corporation. Seeing the station in operation while packed with anglers on a day when the fish were happy a term coined by some of the local charter captains is a real eye-opener. Many anglers pick up tips on where to start their search for silver simply by hanging out nearby, watching and listening. Stay long enough and youll usually be able to find someone willing to give you some inside tips.
More than fishing
Haasch said if youll be bringing non-anglers along on a family trip or will be making a mini-vacation out of your visit the area has a wealth of attractions, including antique shops, a large public beach, an award-winning winery, and quality coffee shops, restaurants, gift shops and farm markets.
A good first stop is Algoma's Visitor Center that overlooks the lake, just a short block south of where Highway 54 meets Highway 42 at the lake. A half-mile boardwalk done with volunteer labor connects the center with the city marina, is handicapped-accessible at both ends and has soft night-lights for evening outings. The boardwalk is handsomely made with recycled plastic decking and benches.
Nearby, the Ahnapee State Trail gives bikers, hikers and horseback riders a chance to see the wild side of the country up close. There's even a county-owned ATV and mountain bike course open to the public.
For those who want fresh fish but dont want to wet a line, Bearcat's Fish House in Algoma and LaFond's Fish Market in Kewaunee sell fresh, smoked and frozen fish and seafood of many types, including Lake Michigan whitefish, chubs and smelt.

|STUDY DESIGN: A case of disseminated Nocardia farcinica infection with spine involvement is reported. OBJECTIVE: To describe the first case of Nocardia farcinica spinal osteomyelitis, and to propose spine instrumentation with debridement and multiple antibiotics for treatment of nocardia spinal osteomyelitis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Only 11 cases involving Nocardia asteroides spinal osteomyelitis have been reported over the past 40 years. These case reports describe various presentations and treatments of nocardia spinal osteomyelitis. METHODS: A 54-year-old nonambulant, paraparetic man was admitted to the authors' hospital with acutely increased low back pain, fever, and signs of dementia. A disseminated Nocardia farcinica infection including spinal osteomyelitis at T11, T12, L1, L2, and L4; epidural abscess T10-L4, L5-S1 discitis, empyemas, cerebral abscess, and bilateral psoas abscess was noted. RESULTS: Antibiotic therapy, multiple debridements, and posterior instrumentation were performed to palliate the Nocardia farcinica infection. At a recent 3-year follow-up assessment, the patient was independent and ambulant. He had been off antibiotics for 5 months. CONCLUSIONS: Previous case reports of nocardia spinal osteomyelitis describe treatment with antibiotics, debridements, and arthrodesis with autologous bone graft. Prolonged recumbency ensued. In the reported case, a combination of antibiotics, debridements, arthrodesis, and posterior instrumentation for immediate stabilization of the spine resulted in a favorable outcome at 3 years.

God that's epic.

EpicWin aims to turn your real-life tasks into a social game.
I think this might just be the only task manager that would compel me to get off my lazy ass and do things.
Hooray for this MeFi thread. I've been thinking that I was maybe secretly retarded all this time.
For instance: Until my mid 20′s I pronounced the word pamphlet pamp-let. Pretty embarrassing when you're producing them for a living.
I still cannot seem to say ancient properly. My stupid mouth wants to say AINGK-shunt. I think it must be a southern verbal tic. Now I have a total complex about it so of course I say it wrong every time – except now I get nervous and say it wrong veeery slooowly. Ugh.
For most of my life I thought gospel was pronounced gos-full. But it's okay, I probably only sounded stupid to the christian kids and they didn't like me anyway.
Oh, and it wasn't until Harry Potter came out that I learned that what I had thought was the most beautiful girl's name ever, wasn't pronounced HERM-ee-own, but rather Her-miny and rhymed with "her hiney".
My most recent embarrassment was when Sunday was here visiting and kept giggling at me every time I said the word strength. When I asked what was so funny she was like "No! It's totally cute!" (yes. like a gimpy cat is cute). I had no idea I was leaving out the g. No idea. When I heard someone saying "strenth" the other day I had this horrible little time travel moment where I flashed back to all the times I must have sounded like a walleyed hill person.
The irony of all this is that I think this mainly afflicts people who read a lot. Dammit, it's not like I read a book with a dictionary in the other hand.
To make matters worse when I look things up now I have a tendency to automatically use Wikipedia, which uses that goddamn international phonetic guide. How the hell is the Ω symbol supposed to help me pronounce a word?? Yotz.
But I feel better.
(There is a ton of other great stuff in this thread that I had no idea about. I mean, Arby's = RBs = Roast Beef. Right. Jesus, of course.)
Looks like a very beautiful and altogether depressing film. But all I was thinking about while watching this was how much I wish I could live in Japan for a while.
The weirdest, most beautiful scene you'll see today:A living sex doll discovers true passion – io9
So yeah, it kills me.
Ever since Gertie had all her bottom teeth pulled this has been going on. And while I'm genuinely sad about her losing her teeth, I'd be lying if I said this thing that's happening right here didn't delight me to no end.
And good gawd, every time she tries to nibble on things now and just winds up impotently gumming them— I have to try very hard not to squeal and laugh at her. It hurts her feelings, you know.
Look what I got today for no reason. Well, Aaron's great, that's a reason.
I've got tons of acorn tops that I've been meaning to do something crafty with forever. Maybe he got tired of waiting to see what I'd do with them and gave me the results of a less lazy person. Works for me.

The crazy delicious results of Aaron's blueberry picking mania.
For a month I had to listen to his alarm going off every other day reminding him to check if the blueberry farm was open. And then he got up at an insane hour on his day off, drove 2 hours and wound up with a wicked sunburn. But oh man, was it worth it.
Fuck Yeah Pie.

Ok! so the WordPress blog is coming back from the dead.
The 3.0 upgrade was too sessy and now that I can post with the tumblr style bookmarklet there's really no reason not to move everything back over here.
I'm going to merge all my tumblr posts into this blog so prepare for an onslaught of new/old posts and for things to maybe get published multiple times and just be borked in general. Sorry if it gets annoying but everything will be back to normal soon.
yay WP!
I've been seriously wanting to take a road trip lately. I was thinking about places to go in Nevada when I saw this weird fantastic geyser on TV today. WTF?!
Unfortunately it's on private property and not open to the public, which is a shame since it's close to some other places I'd like to go.

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
It turns out, there's an answer to the question. Matt Jefferies actually had a set of marching orders: the script. He didn't just create any old graphic he wanted. The script for "Space Seed" actually has a pretty significant line:
"I was once an engineer of sorts. I would be most interested in studying the tech manual on your vessel."
(Note that Khan says that he is interested in learning about "your vessel," not "vessels that are earlier forerunners and somewhat similar to this one.") I don't know how well Jeferies actually hit this target artistically, but I think his target was clear.)

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
"It is covered with mathematical symbols and diagrams. CAMERA PULLS BACK to show Khan studying with great concentration. He pushes a button. Another transparency appears: a chapter heading, reading: BASIC SPECIFICATIONS, CONSTITUTION CLASS STAR SHIP."
Scenes 47 and 48 have similar content:
From 47:
"...At the door, she [McGivers] turns and looks back at him. He gives her a strong, masculine, confident smile. She is about to say something, but turns and exits. Khan turns back to his studying. He pushes a button, stares back up at his screen.
"A chapter heading: Basic Propulsion Systems, Constitution Class Star Ship."
So, yes, he was told what those graphics from Scenes 44 and 48 should contain. In the end, folks who thought that Khan, reading a screen about a Constitution Class starship after asking Kirk for a tech manual on Kirk's ship, implied that Kirk's ship was a Constitution Class starship can be forgiven. It doesn't seem like a bizzare leap to have made--and, in fact, I think it's the very leap we were supposed to make.

I just don't care for Jein's assumption that all the numbers on Stone's wall chart are Constitution-class. It's just too small world for my liking. It's more credible if the chart represents a mix of ship classes.

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
If he'd been excommunicated for being stubborn and/or twisting "facts" to fit his theories at the expense of others, there'd be some participants here that should worry, too.
This is the fourth (?) debate I'm participating on the "Class Issue" and despite new dialogue evidence I presented in post # 177 on page 12 to prevent Greg Schnitzer from using up thread space with his screenplay excerpts he did it – yet again – and – worse – deliberately ignored the other Khan dialogue I quoted word by word which makes it abundantly clear that to fabricate the conclusion that Khan is ONLY reading the technical manual of the Enterprise is not only totally conjectural but wrong.
"I've been reading up on starships (MORE THAN ONE CLASS!), but they have a luxury not mentioned in the manuals. (MORE THAN ONE MANUAL !)" Khan
(He doesn't say "I've been reading up on your starship" !!!)
Equally, in "The Trouble With Tribbles", Scotty is not reading the manual of the Enterprise but simply a "technical journal":
"Another technical journal, Scotty?" "Aye" (= YES)
The other thing that has been brought up, again, is to doubt the genuine pre-production nature of the Jefferies sketch which obviously shows the TOS Enterprise and states it's the "first in the series" (at the expense of Walter Matt Jefferies, the creator of the Enterprise - !!! – who has now somehow fallen under suspicion of having made that drawing at a later time to propagate his Enterprise Class preference ).
You don't have to be a forensic expert to notice that this is not a sketch from the 1970's during the Phase II project:
Had the producers / creators felt after "Space Seed" and prior to their name finding, that the Enterprise was a member of the Constitution Class
I'm not running around the Trek BBS making unsubstantiated claims and fail to deliver hints, substance or evidence. If you choose to ignore this by not discussing it (because it's not compatible with your beliefs), I wonder what is the actual distinction between some Trek BBS participants and the likes of James Dixon / Lenny Nurdbol except to refrain from using fool language.

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
The plural could have referred to multiple ships of a single class, rather than multiple classes.
And I'm sure the entire ship isn't covered in a single manual.
Just my two cents

"I quoted word by word which makes it abundantly clear that to fabricate the conclusion that Khan is ONLY reading the technical manual of the Enterprise is not only totally conjectural but wrong."
Of course it's conjectural because nothing else is said about it in the episode but the conclusion it was about Constitution class starships is logical. He was reading up on the technical manual of Enterprise systems so he could frickin' take over the ship! Why in the heck would he want to study a ships systems that were of no use to him and that he may never see? There was a point to his research which was to learn everything he could about the Enterprise and use that information as he needed to. This man was a leader and conqueror; he was not merely interested in studying the technology of the era. His research had immediate purpose.

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
One thing that a lot of people conveniently ignore is that the Enterprise is as much Roddenberry's baby as it is Jefferies' If it had not been for Roddenberry constantly refining what Jefferies was coming up with, the enterprise would not look anything like it does, but more like the early sphere or ring ships, or worse!

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
I think you misunderstand. I'm not actually rallying for the notion that the Enterprise is a Constitution class star ship. I don't really care all that much, and I don't have a dog in that silly fictional hunt. To me, it's all a lot of fan wankery. My point in all this is your original question from the old "NCC = Not Constitution Class?" TrekBBS thread:
"So where does that erroneous idea of a Constitution Class come from?"
"What was there to conclude that Enterprise would be a Constitution Class starship?"
"Mr. Franz Joseph...introduced the idea of the Constition Class...with his Star Trek Blueprints and the Star Trek Technical Manual."
"The problem with Franz Joseph is that he simply copied Greg Jein's findings."
"Again, the entire...USS Constitution business was an invention of Greg Jein made to fit a pet theory of his which then was adopted by Franz Joseph Schnaubelt."
"Compare it to the quoted / illustrated text from the original Star Trek Concordance and you'll notice that the "Constitution Class" part has deliberately been added to make it appear official. (I consider this to be fraudulent behaviour.)"
In all this, by your own admission, you didn't know that "Constitution class star ship" was actually scripted in a Star Trek episode script. You thought the earliest reference to Constitution class was just an illegible screen graphic in "The Trouble with Tribbles." What I did, since you were unaware of it, was reproduce the relevent script information from the "Space Seed" script that ultimately gave rise to Matt Jefferies' "Constitution class star ship" diagram. I've done this a few times, but you still seem unclear. The "Space Seed" script with its "Constitution class star ship" commant and with the diagram to which it gave rise is the answer to your question. That's how Bjo Trimble in 1968, Greg Jein in April of 1973 and then Franz Joseph Schnaubelt in September of 1973 concluded that the Enterprise was a Constitution class star ship. It wasn't Bjo's "fradulence," or "Greg Jein's pet theory," or "Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's introduction," or "Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's copying or adoption of Greg Jein's theory,"
I don't actually know (nor really care) if Bjo Trimble and Greg Jein and Franz Joseph Schnaubelt reached the "right" decision about the fictional class of the fictional Enterprise. I don't know nor really care what "class" the Enterprise "really" is. "Space Seed" has Khan asking Kirk for information about "your ship" and then it indicates Khan is reading about a "Constitution class star ship," and then, yes, there is dialog that says Khan has been reading "manuals about starships." So does this mean "Constitution class" relates to the Enterprise or, does it instead, relate to some other class of star ship to which the Enterprise doesn't belong? You seem to think the evidence is compelling that any reference to a "Constitution class" refers to something other than the Enterprise. You think that if Scotty saw the diagram in some non-script-specified star ship context, then Khan must have also been looking at the same diagram without the benefit of a script-specifed context. But all that is actually now a different issue from your original "where did that idea originate?" question.
I think it's clear that they all got their "Enterprise is a Constitution class star ship" idea from the "Space Seed" script and from the resulting Jefferies diagram. Should they have given more weight to Khan's "manuals about starships" dialogue? Should they have reached the "more accurate" conclusion that "Constitution class" referred to something other than the Enterprise?
Frankly, I don't care about trying to divine the unknowable answer in a fictional universe. My point is that these people reached their conclusion, rightly or wrongly, based on actual Star Trek production information that you seem to not even have known about. They reached their decisions, rightly or wrongly, without the benefit of DVDs or VHS tapes or reel-to-reel videotape recorders or some drawing by Matt Jefferies that didn't even surface (and might not even have existed) until decades later.
Just because you didn't know about the "Constitution class star ship" production material from "Space Seed" doesn't mean that others more in-the-know than you must have simply fabricated the information. I find your notion to be insulting to those good people.

Re: Franz Joseph Blueprints Revisited
Oops...I honestly did intend to write "foul language", so apparently it could be a Freudian slip, but then again, foul language is usually the trademark of fools, isn't it?
@ GSchnitzer
Yes, before you brought it up, I wasn't aware of the "Constitution Class Starship" reference in the "Space Seed" script.
What's really interesting here is this: According to his treatise, Greg Jein explicitly mentioned the "Space Seed" script but focused entirely on the MK IX/01 primary phaser schematic to arrive at his theory, and did not quote the script reference "Constitution Class Starship" itself (which should have been a welcome aid and a better "bridge" than just to suggest that the "01" of "MK IX/01" hinted the Enterprise's registry "1701"...).
Because he didn't, it appears that - just as feek61 summarized - he became aware that in the dialogue Khan mentions that he has read several manuals on several starships and therefore the manual of the Constitution Class would just have been one of these.
And of course, everybody is entitled to believe that either/and Matt Jefferies's production sketch is inconclusive, that the producers didn't mean "Enterprise Class" (The Making of ST), "MK IX/01" refers to the type of starship and not to the type of phaser, retroactive continuity has fixed/overwritten the issue (TNG / ENT / TNG-R) and whatever else may keep the TOS Enterprise anchored in this "Constitution Class".
In our particular dialogue you revealed that you filtered out / ignored important dialogue part (several starships, several manuals), apparently because it wasn't compatible with your agenda (i.e. that the original "Space Seed" script is evidence that the Enterprise was intended to be a member of the Constitution Class).
The other Greg did the same thing (he quoted from The Making of Star Trek but didn't elaborate for one second why the same passage he quoted from is also the one stating "Enterprise Class").
If there's an issue which jeopardizes a theory, I'd expect it to be mentioned and commented. If it's just ignored the author must have an agenda to propagate his personal belief or theory and can no longer claim he's open-minded and willing to re-evaluate his beliefs (which I do believe is one of the outstanding trademarks of Gene Roddenberry's television series).

While his Selma Elementary classmates dreamt of playing Major League Baseball, then 10-year-old Lucas Statom found his calling not in America's pastime, but rather in a niche sport that requires the same excellent hand-eye coordination and better suits his daredevil mentality.
Statom was introduced to off-road dirt bike racing at age 10 when his father, Rick, bought his older brother, Mack, a 50cc dirt bike. Statom's future was transformed as soon as he took his brother's 50cc for a ride. He fell for the sport instantly, and by age 12, he was tagging along with fellow racing enthusiast Don ...

|Lewis and secretor gene dosages affect CA19-9 and DU-PAN-2 serum levels in normal individuals and colorectal cancer patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9458099 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The effect of doses of the secretor (Se) and Lewis (Le) genes on the serum levels of CA19-9 and DU-PAN-2 was investigated in 400 normal individuals. It was clearly demonstrated that the Se gene dosage negatively affected both the CA19-9 and DU-PAN-2 values, whereas the Le gene dosage positively affected the CA19-9 value and negatively affected the DU-PAN-2 value. The 400 normal individuals were separated into nine groups by their Le and Se genotypes, as follows: group 1, Le/Le and se/se; group 2, Le/le and se/se; group 3, Le/Le and Se/se; group 4, Le/le and Se/se; group 5, Le/Le and Se/Se; group 6, Le/le and Se/Se; group 7, le/le and se/se; group 8, le/le and Se/se; and group 9, le/le and Se/Se. The group 1 individuals, having homozygous inactive Se alleles (se/se) and homozygous active Le alleles (Le/Le), exhibited the highest mean CA19-9 value. The CA19-9 value clearly ranged from a high in group 1 to a low in group 9. All of the Le-negative individuals who had the le/le genotype (groups 7, 8, and 9) had completely negative CA19-9 values, i.e., under 1.0 unit/ml, irrespective of the Se genotype. Group 7 individuals (le/le and se/se) showed a higher mean DU-PAN-2 value than did individuals in other groups. The Le-negative individuals in groups 8 and 9 also showed a higher mean DU-PAN-2 value than did the Le-positive individuals in groups 1-6. We recommend that the revised Le and Se genotype-dependent positive/negative cutoff values for CA19-9 and DU-PAN-2, determined in this study, be applied for more accurate cancer diagnoses. The Le and Se genotypes of 168 patients with colorectal cancer were also examined, and the CA19-9 and DU-PAN-2 values were measured before surgical resection. All 15 Le-negative patients (le/le) with colorectal cancer again showed undetectable CA19-9 values, i.e., under 1.0 unit/ml, but many of them exhibited highly positive DU-PAN-2 values. In contrast, many of the Le-positive patients (Le/Le or Le/le) had positive CA19-9 values, whereas very few of them exhibited positive DU-PAN-2 values. CA19-9 measurement is more useful than is DU-PAN-2 measurement for Le-positive patients, but it is not useful for Le-negative ones. DU-PAN-2 measurement should be performed in Le-negative patients for cancer diagnosis.

A home of passion
Creative guru Wolfgang Behnken's passion for art, photo and design furniture is easily spotted in his home he shares with his partner Manja Stuhlmann-Laeisz in Hamburg. The home looks seemingly perfect styled, and is very clean and sophisticated, so to look into the somewhat chaotic library gives a bit of joy and pleasure. Even a bit of envy of that great collection of art, photos and books. The mosaic on the kitchen floor and the wooden cabinets in the bedroom is great details to the rest of the interior.

Globalization Will Kill Small Scale Industries in India
Has globalization become a nightmare or a boon for the small scale industrial sector in India? We'll never know unless experience tells us.
Before we begin with the topic in hand, it is important to know what the concept of globalization means. Technically, globalization means the breaking down of all physical barriers and borders between countries and interconnecting them by the means of easy transport and communication. Globalization is the easy exchange of ideas, goods, services, trade, technology and a lot more. Transport and communication is the essence of globalization. Without effective transport and communication, there can be no globalization.
Globalization is a relatively new phenomena in India. Till 1991, India followed a rather closed policy. It believed in self-reliance and self-sufficiency. It did not have a lot of contact with the outside world. In 1991, as a result of an impending economic crisis, the Indian government, then under the leadership of Prime Minister P.V Narasimha Rao, took up a number of reforms that opened us to the outside world. These reforms were namely the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization reforms. We opened up our economy to the outside world so that there would be more exchange.
Even though the Indian government had initiated reforms, it was clear that India would take a really long time to start making quick progress. This was because for more than 40 years we followed a very closed policy and as a result we were not on the radar of the countries. To them, India wasn't a very big opportunity. But the new reforms definitely changed all that.
Like any drug, the reforms took time to work up on the problems of the ailing Indian economy. But the initiation of the reforms was a huge step forward for India. India opened up to the outside world. India tried to attract foreign investment in order to boost its economy. The reforms were indeed a success. The reforms has put India back on the map. A country once ignored and forgotten is now a contender for a superpower status.
After foreign capital was pumped into the Indian economy, the economy grew extremely fast. Production increased manifold, millions of people now got jobs, new firms were established, new technology was introduced into India, incomes rose, opportunities multiplied and a lot more happened.
Globalization has had a very profound impact on the manufacturing and industrial sector of India. Before the reforms happened in 1991, the Indian government had a very bad industrial policy. India was trying to become socialist like the Soviet Union. Socialism was a very appealing dream to many Indian leaders but what these leaders forgot was that in order to empower the people, you need to provide them with the means to do so. Indian leaders forgot this and tried to replicate the Soviet model. The same applied to the industrial sector.

Well said.. we have to learn from china to globalize small scale industries..
On October 16, 2010 at 1:09 am
Globalization also causes big multinational company to establish production facilities in developing countries where labor and production cost are cheaper. This situation brought about reduced employment in the country where these companies came from.
On October 16, 2010 at 3:25 am
Excellent point. I completely agree with Dr Elayaraja.While we rise to globalization, also pull along the small scale industries along.
On October 17, 2010 at 12:13 pm
It gets competitive and makes smaller scale industries more creative. Very informative and well presented article oh how globalization had affected India SMEs.

Venture investments in clean tech hit $6.46 billion in 2012 - report

Clean technology investments in 2012 dropped to $6.46 billion from $9.61 billion in 2011, according to a preliminary report by global market intelligence firm The Cleantech Group.
Similarly, the number of deals tracked last year fell to 707, which was 15 percent lower than the 829 recorded in 2011.
Of the 704 deals, 60 percent were Series B or later rounds, accountable for about 90 percent of the total investments during the quarter.
"Weak [initial public offering] exits, political uncertainty, global macroeconomic stagnation, and fierce competition all played a role in dampening investor enthusiasm for the space in 2012," said Sheeraz Haji, chief executive officer of Cleantech Group and consulting company GreenOrder.

When it came to amounts invested in2012, the leading sector was biofuels and biochemicals with $927 million, followed by transportation with $927 million and energy efficiency with $907 million.
In terms of the number of deals, energy efficiency led with 140 funding rounds. The solar sector came in second with 79 deals, despite a notable decline in investments compared to previous years.
The North America region accounted for the largest total venture investment, having $5.07 billion or 78 percent of the overall share. California notably led other states and provinces with $2.3 billion or an almost 50 percent share.
Companies in the European and Israeli regions came in second to the U.S. with 23.6 percent of the clean technology investments amounting to $1.1 billion.
The remaining five percent went to the Asia Pacific region, which grossed $300 million in 2012, a 67 percent drop off from 2011's $910 million.
For 2010, approximately 37 clean technologies IPOs pushed through to raise $4.1 billion. However, around 10 companies withdrew plans to go public in 2012. Seven of these companies opted to raise private capital instead, including BrightSource Energy, Elevance Renewable Sciences, Genomatica and Glori Energy.
Despite the lukewarm performance in 2012, Cleantech believes that the sector could rebound in the coming year.
According to Mr. Haji, the whole venture capital industry, not just the clean tech sector, experienced a decline in investments last year.
"The cleantech sector will redefine itself in 2013 as investors regroup, continue to favor capital-efficient start-ups and look for new ways to collaborate with large companies," he concluded. – EcoSeed Staff

The 'hand' symbol, on which the Congress has been contesting elections since 1980, may remain with the Congress, may be 'frozen' or, an unlikely eventuality, may be awarded to the breakaway group.
The dispute over the party symbol started with a petition filed by the breakaway group, which calls itself the All India Indira Congress (AIIC), this January, claiming that it alone had the right to the symbol. In its closing submissions before the Election Commission last week, it said the Indian National Congress (INC) had ignored the letter and spirit of the party constitution, which envisaged a democratic set-up far removed from the present ad hocism.
Congress organisational elections were held after 20 years in 1992. On February 27, Rao became party president. At the plenary session in Tirupathi in April, elections to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) were held and the All India Congress Committee (AICC) constituted.
Under the Congress constitution, office-bearers are elected andcommittees are constituted for two years. Rao's term thus expired on February 27, 1994, and that of the CWC itself, two months later. On April 4, 1994, the CWC passed a resolution indefinitely extending the terms of all the committees constituted in 1992. With assembly polls round the corner, the party's top brass felt it was not a judicious time for an organisa-tional shake-up.
The argument hinges on Clause (J) of Article VI of the Congress charter, which empowersthe CWC to extend the tenure of elected committees. The rebels say that the CWC is not empowered to extend its own term and, in any case, this power is to be exercised only in extraordinary situations. Pointing out that impending assembly polls hardly fall in that category, they add that the CWC didn't specifically extend Rao's tenure.
Even if the INC's premise that the CWC does have such powers is accepted, the resolution should have been rati-fied by the AICC within six months. Despite the fact that the AICC met within two months of the resolution being passed, it was not rati-fied and has never been, the rebel faction argues.
Both groups have relied heavily on the Election Commission's order in the Bommai case (October 16, 1994). The INC points to the first part of the order, which was based on the Supreme Court decision in the Sadiq Ali case of 1978. The Commission ruled that in case of a split in the party, numerical strength would be the criterion in deciding which faction should get the symbol.
The Tiwari faction emphasises on the second part of the order, which underlined the importance of holding democratic organisational elections as per party constitutions. The Commission issued notices to all recognised national political parties in October 1994, urging them to hold elections within four months, as failure to do so could invite de-recognition. In its reply to the Commission, the AICC promised to hold elections expeditiously, in June 1995. The promise remains unfulfilled. But O.P. Sharma, convenor of the AICC legal cell, challenges the validity of the Election Commission's order, saying that it was "too sweeping" and separate notices should have been issued.
The INC also contends that the Tiwari group be treated as a separate party rather than a breakaway faction, as it had applied for registration as a new political party under Section 29(a) of the Representation of People Act. Hence, it is argued that it has no right to the symbol. The rebels say their application for registration was filed only by way of caution and did not preclude their claim to the party symbol.
The INC adds that the party constitution enjoins members to exhaust all channels for redressal within the party before approaching the Commission—implying that the Tiwari group jumped the gun. But AIIC leader P.R. Kumaramangalam says its working president, Arjun Singh, raised the issue of organisational elections at the CWC meet on December 20, 1994. Only after he was ignored did he resign, citing the undemocratic set-up in the party as one reason.
The Election Commission is expected to pass its order soon. And while the stakes are much higher for the Rao-led Congress, both factions will remain on the edge.

06/01/07 Opticom Preemption Signals Being Installed at Major Fresno Intersections
Signal preemption at major intersections around Fresno is the next step that the City of Fresno Public Works Department is taking to make it easier for the City of Fresno Fire Department to reach their goal of a "four minute response time." The Opticom preemption signals not only help with the response time of the Fire Department but all emergency personnel. When a vehicle equipped with an emitter approaches a traffic signal it sends out an infrared light to the receiver next to the lightbox, giving that vehicle the right-of-way in traffic.

On Oct. 2, a large group of students, faculty (including program director Kathy Valverde), alumni, and staff from the Arcadia University Genetic Counseling program attended Philadelphia's exclusive premiere of Decoding Annie Parker, the Hollywood feature film based on the true story of two remarkable women responsible for discovering the hereditary origins of breast cancer. The event was a fundraiser for FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered), the nation's only nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families fighting hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
The film depicts Annie Parker as a sharp witted young woman who watches her mother and sister succumb to breast cancer. When she is diagnosed with the disease Annie believes that her cancer is hereditary in nature and fights back against immeasurable odds. Dr. Mary-Claire King is the Berkeley-based geneticist who in 1990 proved the existence of a gene responsible for breast cancer and through linkage analysis mapped the BRCA 1 gene to chromosome 17, forever changing the understanding of the disease. Hers is considered one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
Following the film the audience was treated to a panel discussion with the film's writer and director, Steven Bernstein; Sue Friedman, the executive director and founder of FORCE; Dr. Mary Daly, chair of the Department of Clinical Genetics at Fox Chase Cancer Center; Dr. Susan Domcheck, executive director of the Basser Research Center for BRCA at Penn Medicine; and Annie Parker herself.
