KINSHASA - The toll in a train crash in DR Congo last week was raised to 74 dead on Sunday, the country's health minister said.
Many people were trapped for days in the mangled wreckage of the goods train that flew off the rails in a swampy region about 65 kilometres (40 miles) north of Kamina, in the southeast of the country.
"There are 74 dead on Sunday night" and a further 163 injured, minister Felix Kabange Mukwapa told AFP, adding that about 20 bodies had been recovered from under one of two carriages that overturned and was still lying on the tracks five days after the accident.
Earlier tolls had been revised from 57 to 48 but later went up again.
A newly purchased locomotive hurtled off the track on Tuesday as the goods train, bursting with illegal passengers, rounded a bend.
Many seriously injured were taken to Lubumbashi, the capital of the mineral-rich Katanga province, some 600 kilometres (375 miles) from Kamina, where the train began its journey.
Its planned destination was Mwene-Ditu in the diamond-mining province of Kasai-Oriental.
Witnesses said the train was carrying hundreds of passengers both inside and on top of its carriages, many of whom had paid an illegal reduced fare to ride the train without a proper ticket.
Train crashes are fairly frequent in Democratic Republic of Congo, where the railway lines were built under Belgian colonial rule.
Little maintenance work has been done since independence in 1960, but the World Bank is currently financing a programme to refurbish the network.

In 2010, Principia offered a one-week Antony Tudor dance workshop. Watch the video above to learn more about Antony Tudor and what this workshop achieved. Below is a video of a Tudor Ballet at Principia College.
In December of 2011, 10 dancers from the College, two from the Upper School, and five from Webster University in St. Louis participated in another Antony Tudor workshop and were given the chance to study under three world-class dancers and choreographers.
Professional dancer and choreographer John Gardner (of American Ballet Theatre and Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project), ABT prima ballerina and Tudor Trust Répétiteur Amanda McKerrow, and choreographer Margaret Eginton, former principal dancer with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, traveled to the College to lead this special, intensive workshop. Mornings were devoted to technique classes with McKerrow and Gardner; afternoons were dedicated to the creation of two exciting, original pieces choreographed by Gardner and Eginton. An informal showing on the final day provided dancers, choreographers, and audience members the opportunity to revel in all that had been accomplished in this short but amazingly productive week of dance. Both pieces will be performed this spring as highlights of the College Dance Production.
"This was so amazing!" said Hilary Harper-Wilcoxen, chair of the Theatre and Dance Department. "To have dancers and choreographers of this caliber create two pieces around Principia's dancers, and offer them as world-premiere performances this spring, is extraordinary!"
The professional dancers found the experience beneficial as well. Gardner explained what he enjoys most about working with Principia dancers: "They're so hungry to learn. They're present and focused, ask questions, and work hard. I can really be creative here."
It was clear the students were enjoying the creative interplay—and working hard. During a short break one dancer shared, "It's been really tough and I've had to push myself—much of this is new to me—I've learned so much!" But some of the work was play, too. From imagining a scarf to be a matador's cape to whirling to Middle Eastern drumming, there was no shortage of joyful spontaneity.
Meg Eginton, whose modern dance piece features two young sisters playing at the seaside, summed up the experience frankly during rehearsal. "I love coming to Principia," she said. "It's a highlight of my year. It's like coming to a well of good water." Then, turning back to the dancers and the work at hand, she said, "Okay everyone, let's take it from the Frankenstein walk!"

About Ray Trygstad
Industry Professor of Information Technology and Management at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Retired Naval Officer with 3500 flight hours and over 600 helicopter small-deck landings at sea.
...aha! A large group of BLACK women. Guess that looks pretty suspicious to the Terminally Stupid Agency.
I think I ask this question every time New York cabs come up. What economic model makes it reasonable for folks to pay in the range of $800,000 to a million dollars for an NYC cab medallion? How long do you have to run a cab under the medallion to recoup that? It looks to me like it would have to be several hundred years.
Because of USC 17 Circular 92 Section 105, works prepared by employees of the U.S. Government are in the public domain. When I was the Admin Officer & Information Systems Officer for a large Navy training squadron back in the 80s, the Naval Air Rework Facility in San Diego opened a software shop. They were handing out disks with maintenance management and flight scheduling software at an event on the base as a "free trial", with the caveat that we'd have to pay them if we kept using it. I told them we'd use it if it was any good, but we wouldn't pay them. They told me we had too, that they couldn't produce the software if units didn't pay. I asked if they were all civil service folks writing the code and they said yes, and I pointed out to them that by Federal law, every line of code they wrote was in the public domain. They were a bit taken aback by this as I guess it hadn't occurred to them that this was the case, and finally they came back with "Well, if you don't pay you won't get any support!" To which I replied, "Well if your software and documentation are any good, we won't need any!"
Currently most HTTPS Federal web sites use self-signed certificates, which causes browsers to label them as unsafe. I see no issues with the U.S. Government registering as a Certificate Authority (CA), but until they either do that or purchase certificates from registered CAs, this move will actually weaken consumer security by encouraging them to overrule what otherwise is a very sensible warning and limitation.
Ok, I'm old and the name part of my memory no longer functions at peak capacity. Correction: Valentine Michael.
...would need to be named Michael Valentine [lastname].
If you don't know why, shame on you; look it up.
...but in the Public Domain. "A work prepared by an officer or employee" of the federal government "as part of that person's official duties," under section 105 of the Copyright Act, is not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law, placing it in the public domain. So all code written by Federal employees as part of their job is in the public domain, even better than Open Source.
The idea that someone could be guilty of inducing infringement of an invalid patent would seem to be close to the ultimate in Alice-in-Wonderland law.
I see a market for an encryption system that will have an alternate self-destruct password, i.e. you agree to enter your password and enter the destruction password. Is this out there already?
...my anonymous online persona is a sanitation engineer! But wait...no AOL account . What a relief. Who still has an AOL account, anyway?
Pardon me, but isn't getting up and walking out of a Congressional hearing contempt of Congress? Last time I checked, this was a crime. Any bets on no charges ever being filed? If I were the chair do the committee, I sure as hell would be filing charges...
Aw, c'mon: Aggressive and Stupid are the consistent hallmarks of the USTR's approach to life. Why should they be expected to be any different in this instance?
It's my understanding that ever since the U.S. Navy has had the ability to deliver nuclear weapons from ships, or from aircraft on the ships, the only allowable response to inquiries as to whether or not U.S.S. Whatever is carrying nuclear weapons is "I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard U.S.S. Whatever." That certainly was the case during my entire Navy career.
The stance of the NY Public Library is interesting. As I understand the law, having physical possession of an item in the public domain give you no rights or control over reproduction of that item. A photograph of a painting that is in the public domain, if only the painting itself is displayed is in the public domain and no amount of claims of copyright or "physical rights" can change that fact. The only way the NY Public Library can legally prevent reproduction of an item in the public domain is to refuse to make it available for reproduction, which sort of defeats the purpose of a library. I think I'm going to go copy a bunch of images of public domain material from their website and post them on my blog just to make this point.
...the more it seems that The Guardian is the only reliable, objective English-language news source.
While the argument can be made that it is a shaky interpretation of the law, the only property-type rights to digital data--which all of the Snowden documents are--is copyright, and guess what? None of these documents so far are copyrighted, as (at least all I have seen) have been produced by employees of the U.S. Government acting in an official capacity which are, by law, in the public domain. They may be classified, but they're still in the public domain. You can't steal a virtual copy of something in the public domain. Were it a printed copy, Rogers would have an argument, but not for a digital copy. Once again, thanks to the efforts of our 'buddies' at RIAA and MPAA, someone conflates making a copy of a digital object with theft.
When I was deployed as the Air Department Operations Officer aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Indian Ocean in the early 80's, I used the French Navy's daily intelligence summary for my mission planning, because I only had a Secret clearance. The U.S. Navy intelligence summary was Top Secret, not because the information in it was much different from the French report, but because of the methods used to collect the intelligence--mostly advanced electronic intelligence, or ELINT, tools. So it was more important to protect the sources of the material than it was to get the material to the people who needed it to do their jobs. It sometimes seems that nothing ever changes in the DOD.
...if you give them your valet key which does not open the trunk!
...always edit under my real name, just as I post here.
In all my years as a Classified Material Custodian and as a Security Manager in the Navy it was pounded into me that having a particular clearance level does not give you access to material classified at that level, i.e. having a Top Secret clearance does not give you access to ANY Top Secret material. You must also have a NEED TO KNOW, as defined by whoever is authorized to grant access. Both Snowdon and Bradley Manning clearly had access to huge volumes of material through networked infrastructure that they had NO Need to Know. Why in the world would a PFC in the Army have access to terabytes of classified State Department documents? Both of these instances clearly represent a complete breakdown in the military's ability to enforce THEIR OWN RULES regarding access based on Need to Know. There is a huge oversight issue in the design and construction of information systems that clearly cannot ensure proper segregation of data with access based on proper criteria.

Former county commissioner Larry Medina no longer wants to defend himself in the federal public-corruption case against him -- he just wants a new lawyer.
During a brief hearing in federal court Thursday, Medina told a federal judge that he was thinking of representing himself but that his wife -- who is a lawyer -- talked him out of it.
"I am currently interviewing other lawyers and letting them interview me to see if they want to represent me," Medina told the court.
U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo approved his request, but it came with a warning.
"Don't take four months and have that lawyer come in and tell me they need more time," Montalvo said. "Asking for a continuance of the trial date is not an option that he or she has in this case."
Medina, who is also a former city representative, is one of 11 people indicted by a federal grand jury in September on public-corruption charges. All have pleaded not guilty and are free on bond. The group allegedly used a scheme of bribes and kickbacks to obtain government contracts for Access HealthSource, a local health-care provider.
Their trial is set for Aug. 1, a date Montalvo has said is not negotiable. The apparent desire by Medina to represent himself was disclosed in a motion filed by his lawyer, Ray Velarde, on Nov. 29. In the motion, Velarde asked for permission to withdraw as Medina's lawyer. He also asked Montalvo to rule on whether Medina could represent himself.
Montalvo ruled Thursday that Velarde cannot withdraw until Medina hires a new lawyer.
The only thing he said is that he is considering lawyers from El Paso and out of town. There is no indication that his wife, Ruth Reyes, will represent him.

Heart Of Darkness reviews:
The Little Details Running Time: 79 min. Production Date: 8 / 20 / 2002 Director: Paul Thomas Cast: Sunrise Adams, Sophie Evans, Dru Berrymore, Nakita Ka$h, Jordan Haze, Crystal Carter, Cameron, Ava Vincent, Jeremy Steele, Mickey G., Rafe, Randy Spears, Steven French, and Ashley Moore in a non-sex role The Short Story Initial Expectations: Paul Thomas has been fairly hit or miss for me, and due to Vivids treatment of their DVDs I cant get too excited for any of them. Initial Reaction: Its well done as a movie, but sexually it leaves plenty to be desired. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wishes they could see porn from the early eighties with the stars of today, fans of Randy Spears Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for pure and simple whacking material The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: Heart of Darkness was shot on film, which is much more difficult to work with than video. The audio is very nicely done. Its clear, free of interfering background noises, and has a very nice balance.

About a Woman reviews:
This film is excellent from start to finish. I loved this film for so many reasons. First off, the plot is great, and the acting is outstanding. Devinn Lane is excellent in this film, playing Angela Parks, a woman who has worked in a prestigious (but old-fashioned)law firm for 8 years. Her assistant (Nicole Sheridan) gets promoted, leaving Dev to find a replacement. In walks the very hot Robin (jessica drake), and Devinn hires her. However, Robin won't take the job because of the "Morality Clause" the company has, which deems same-sex relationships as "deviant." jd then comes out to Devinn, not realizing that she is a lesbian as well. This film is stylish and well-made, and has a powerful message. Also, Stormy is great as Devinn's supportive friend. But, don't be fooled--there is some amazingly hot sex in this one! My favorite scene was the first one: hottie Nakita Kash (the first time I'd ever heard of or seen her, and DAMN!) and Devinn go at it in a lesbian club.
read the complete review
Here we have a Jonathan Morgan vehicle starring some very beautiful women led by Devinn Lane. The crux of the story is Devinn is in need of a new assistant as Nicole Sheridan is getting married plus she's getting a promotion within the company. So after interviewing several candidates in walks Jessica Drake and the unspoken sexual heat generated especially from an almost tongue tied Devinn is palpable. Needless to say she offers the job to Jessica who wants to look over the paperwork before signing on the dotted line. When she comes in the following Monday she is not happy at all with the morality clause of the firms contract which frowns heavily on same sex relationships. Devinn still tries to get Jessica who admits to being gay to still come to work for her but Jessica wants no part of such an arrangement. This leads to Devinn finally confronting her own sexuality as she to is a lesbian but has kept this hidden in order to get ahead in the corporate world.

Bare Necessities reviews:
Nat Hocken
It just depends on how you watch porn. If you watch it with a vengeance, narrative just gets in the way. If youre more inclined to sit back and let the movie do some of the work, even the stupidest storylines can make a difference, simply by humanizing the actors. Adam & Eves Bare Necessities doesnt have much of a story, and what it does have is typically inane, but the performers seem to like it, and it shows in the sex scenes, most of which are pleasant and energetic. The movie begins with an almost girl/girl encounter as Keri Windsor, who runs a lingerie shop out of her home, offers advice and opinion to Chenin Blanc. That the scene never really takes a sexual turn was not a move calculated to appeal to girl/girl fans such as myself, but what the hellI was still trying to figure out how Keri managed to make a buck by selling baby dolls out of her house. The answer, I think, comes when lovers Nikita Cash and Ian Daniels show up.

Here is another couples flick from a studio that does a pretty good job of cranking them out, Adam & Eve. I think Keri Windsor is stunning to look at and the cover shot is a great capturing of her gorgeous face and seeing her cover her breasts was oh so sensual!! We have some other stunners to watch so sit back with your significant other and enjoy the "Bare Necessities". Our first scene stars Nakita Kash and Ian Daniels. The scene takes place in the lingerie shop owned by Keri Windsor. The two performers start out with some nice kissing before Ian samples her titties. Ian also performs some beautifully shot oral also using his fingers to get Nakita's pussy primed for his cock. After her lengthy oral Nakita is more than willing to suck on Ian's member. Once again the views are top notch as you see Nakita swallow every inch of Ian's schlong. Nakita also gives nice eye contact during this nicely shot bj. As for the sex you get to see: Doggie-- Great close view from underneath as Ian's piston fires into Nakita's box.

Devon Stripped reviews:
Someone, in commenting on classic porn from the 1970s, said that the goal was to make a movie that was still watchable with the sex taken out. That's the way Nic Andrews makes porn films. From the standpoint of plot, writing, acting, and cinematography, this film is way, way above average. This movie is worth watching even without the sex. It is an outstanding couples film, or film for people who are newbies to porn. Don't get me wrong, the sex is good, it's just that it isn't raunchy or cutting edge. Also the sex scenes are a little short; each should have been about five minutes longer. Digital Playground has done a really nice job with this disc. It has a commentary with Devon, Ginger Lynn, Nic Andrews, the screenwriter, and Barrett Blade. There is also a behind-the-scenes featurette, a bloopers reel, a slideshow and bios for Devon, Ginger Lynn, and Nic Andrews.

"A Gay Man's Take on Straight Porn" Well, this is the second Digital Playground disc I've seen, and the first I've ever reviewed, so how did it stack up? The Movie: Okay, I'm going to start this off by saying that if you hate movies with a lot of talking and character stuff, then avoid Stripped at all costs. This movie is very dialogue heavy, and all the sex is very spaced out. There are several really well done strip scenes, but I don't know if many would find them all that worthy of wank material. This is a very strong couples film, but is not a very good whack movie. The sex is good, although the scenes are fairly short. I was actually suprised with how the sex seemed almost pushed to the side, but what is there is good, and is fairly hot, and very well filmed. The first scene is between Devon and Barett. It's a nice scene, but not really memorable. You go from the usual oral (male to female, female to male) then in to some vaginal sex in about two positions. Nothing to ground breaking, but the stuff turns out pretty hot.
read the complete review
I guess, that its the first porn movie I watched, when I was more interested in the plot than the sex scenes. It can mean two things: First that the plot was so great that nothing more counts, or Two that the sex scenes were so bad that even the plot (which in average porn movie is generally lousy) looks great. In this case both things are partly true. The plot is really better than the sex scenes, but on the other hand its not as good as one can expect, and the sex scenes are maybe not the worst in the world but not so great too. Anyway, to watch this movie was pretty refreshing. It was harder than the soft porn movie but lighter than the average porn. And this is a great plus, however I have seen dozens of soft porn movies where the intensity of the sex scenes was hundred times higher than in Devon Stripped. Moreover the cast (girls) was done poorly. Except Devon and Daniella Rush there is no one else to take a closer look. The Plot: The plot is based on a true story, so here you go.

Running Time: 82 min. Production Year: 1999 Director: Michael Zen Cast: Stephanie Swift Herschel Savage Joel Lawrence Kelsey Hart John Decker Lola Shawna Edwards Alexa Rae Alec Metro Vince Voyeur Main Scenes: The movie begins with a brief scene overview of The Exhibitionist I. Then we see Daisy (Stephanie Swift) on the Internet, where she suggests her audience to play a game of executing all her commands. She tells them to get naked, go to their windows, and show their bodies to the world. The fact that she has an enormous power over people is revealed by the evening news reporters who inform us that people all over the world expose their naked bodies to others, and that the trend went as far as Oval Office. We then see a couple (Joel Lawrence and Kelsey Hart) turned on by Daisy's exhibition. They show us some pussy licking, blow job action, vaginal and anal. This couple is not very attractive, but they are good in their overall performance.

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for very tame sex and raincoaters. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear through most of the feature. A little bit of John Decker and Lolas scene appears to be dubbed, but thats about the only problem with it. The video is also very clear. Music: The music is well balanced and has a good mix of styles that fits the scenes well.

Fling (Legend) reviews:
Running Time: 75 min. Production Date: 2 / 2 - 3 / 2000 Director: Adriane Gold Cast: Renee LaRue, Chennin Blanc, Wendy Divine, Blair, Evan Stone, Cheyne Collins, and Eric Masterson Initial Expectations: This is my first DVD from Legend, so Im going to keep my mind open going in. Initial Reaction: Although it had potential for some great sex scenes, it was botched almost completely. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very uneven and unbalanced. I had to adjust the volume quite often while watching Fling . Although most of the sex is very clear, I struggled to understand much of the dialogue. Its not a big deal here but it does show lack of caring about the product. The video is much the same. It ranges from extremely grainy to very clear in the same shot. I think they might have been using flashlights for much of the lighting and had to share the batteries with the girls warming up with vibrators. There are also some flashes of garbage on the screen.

Midsummer Night's Cream, A reviews:
Running Time: 89 min. Production Date: 23 March 2000 Director: Stuart Canterbury, who also adapted the story to its current form Cast: Sydnee Steele, Nina Hartley, Shay Sweet, Ava Vincent, Cheyenne Silver, McKayla, Amber Michaels, Ginger Paige, Heather Lyn, Nakita Kash, Evan Stone, Michael J. Cox, Kyle Stone, and Nick East Initial Expectations: I enjoy Stuart Canterburys films, and he struck me as a great person to do a Shakespearean porn movie. Adam & Eve can be a mixed bag on their DVDs, but this appeared to be well done. Initial Reaction: A Midsummers Night Cream is a very well done Shakespearian porno. There are a few faults, but theyre fairly minor. Adam & Eve really put a lot of effort into the extras on this DVD, and I think their effort payed off. Audio /Video Quality: As usual with Stuart Canterbury, A Midsummers Night Cream is shot on film, so theres some grain issues. If you want a crystal clear picture, it isnt here.

Exhibitionist, The (Wicked) reviews:
Running Time: 85 min. Production Date: 10 / 27 / 1999 Director: Michael Zen Cast: Stephanie Swift, Sydnee Steele, Jessica Drake, Anastasia Blue, Nakita Ca$h, Rayne, Herschel Savage, Chris Cannon, Evan Stone, Eric Everhard, and Sebastian as himself Initial Expectations: Michael Zen directing this cast??? WOOF! Initial Reaction: Its interesting with a plot that develops nicely as well as very good sex. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Stephanie Swift and people looking for a fairly well developed story. Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters. Audio /Video Quality: As usual with Wicked, both the audio and video are very clear. Theres a little pixelation in a few parts but it isnt too noticeable. The video also mixed standard color with black & white, blue & white, pink & white etc. It gives a nice artistic feel to the feature. Music: The music is slightly overpowering in a lot of places and varies to fit the scenes. Menus: The menus flip on and off like a TV screen or computer monitor.

Starring : Stephanie Swift, Anastasia Blue, Sydnee Steele, Jessica Drake, Herschel Savage, Chris Cannon, Evan Stone Producer, Director : Michael Zen Introduction, Story Synopsis : A relatively new feature from Wicked, 'The Exhibitionist' is split in 2 parts, from which I've seen only Part 1 (and I'm honestly not waiting for the second one).. While Michael Zen may have had his high point with the award-winning 'Blue Movie' and 'Satyr' both starring Jenna Jameson, this rather cheap shot-on-video production is not going to win him any new fans.

* DIRECTOR: Jim Holliday * PRODUCTION DATE: November 1997 * DURATION: �110mins * FEMMES: Alex Dane, Julie Rage, Kimberly Jade, Kylie Ireland, Miss Sharon Mitchell, Nikita Ca$h, Nellie Pierce, Nico Treasures, Raylin, Sharon Kane, Shayla LaVeaux, Veronica Hart & Winona Winter. WELCOME to Rieekan Review #4. I first saw Kylie Ireland in New Wave Hookers 6 and was very impressed. Although Im currently in a blonde phase, Ive always loved redheads and bemoaned their scarcity in porn. Kylies also a lusciously voluptuous woman rather than a stick figure starlet. Timeless cost AUD$39.95 (�US$20) from AdultShop as cheap as you can get in Australia (see Scipios international shopping advice). Its reviews were good to great, so I was fairly happy to cough up the dough (another great porn flick). STORY SYNOPSIS: Timeless may have a great story, but its hard to follow when you cant watch the 3rd, 4th or 5th scenes. For some reason, those chapters and some extras dont play on my DVD-ROM (although they do work on normal players).

Running Time: 1:51 Cast: Alex Dane, Kylie Ireland, Nico Treasures, Julie Rage, Shayla LaVeaux, Wynona Winter, Kimberly Jade, Nikita Kash, Raylin, Mark Davis, Tom Byron ,John Decker, Steve Hatcher, Ian Daniels, and Nelli Pierce Director: Jim Holliday Plot: With An Ass Like Hers..Time Stands Still. Sultry Kylie Ireland plays a primadonna porn star who won't do an anal scene. Borrowing liberally from Charles Dickens, Jim Holliday introduces three ghosts to convince Kylie that butt-banging is the super chick thing to do on the big blue screen. In the process, we're privy to a whole mess of anal action as only Le Holliday can deliver. The ghosts influence Kylie to the extent that a happy ending is enjoyed by all. If you catch the drift. The rest:I had really high hopes for this film. Kylie is one of my favorite actresses, and rarely does anal, and Jim Holliday normally does a very enjoyable adult film.

Once in a blue moon rarely it gets a tad blurred for a few seconds, I think it's camera work, or it could very well be the transfer but I'm just being picky. But throughout the entire movie, the image is just superb. The music in this one is also a big plus since most of the tunes fit perfect with the scenes.

#1: Bacchanalia
Atlanta's fine-dining monarch continues its reign after twenty-one years in business. What's the secret? A gracious sense of hospitality unmatched anywhere else in the city. The prix-fixe dinner—with five to seven choices for each of five courses (two starters, meat, cheese, dessert; vegetarians happily accommodated)—comes with an array of extra sweet and savory nibbles and service from impeccable staffers. They'll help you compose a comforting meal (crab fritter, a gorgeous hunk of New York strip, Valrhona chocolate cake) or an adventurous one (Georgia shrimp with pork belly and trout roe, sweetbreads in brown butter, a tasting of vegetable sorbets).

Harvesting the Wind for Ontario
Samsung Renewable Energy Inc. (Samsung) and Pattern Energy Group LP (Pattern Development) are developing the Armow Wind project in the Municipality of Kincardine. The project will provide enough clean and renewable energy equal to the energy needs of approximately 70,000 homes. The 180 MW wind project will bring many benefits to the Kincardine community, including more than $75 million over 20 years in property taxes, landowner lease royalties and community benefits. The project will fund a long-term community benefits program, which will support education and other initiatives, including a contribution of $1 million to the Kincardine Airport to improve local operations.
Good planning includes the involvement of the community as a key partner. Armow Wind has established a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) to discuss the important aspects of construction and operation of the Armow Wind Project. This committee is a requirement of Armow Wind's Renewable Energy Approval (REA) and will serve as a forum to share ideas, express concerns and to provide the community with ongoing updates about the Project. An independent, third-party facilitator from AECOM has been retained to facilitate the Armow Wind Project Community Liaison Committee meetings.

Striking distance
The news of Rick Santorum's political death may have been greatly exaggerated. He has not won re-election yet but he has gained traction. The junior senator of Pennsylvania has gone from being tagged as DOA to being within striking distance.
And he did it the old-fashioned way: retail politics -- reaching out to the electorate one on one.
Democrat challenger Bob Casey Jr.'s 18-point lead over the Penn Hills Republican has diminished. Not vanished, mind you -- Casey is still ahead by 6 to 7 points in recent polls -- but the momentum clearly is on the side of the senator.
But why?
Bob Casey has it all and he is the perfect guinea pig for Democrats to test drive in that political microcosm known as Pennsylvania. Red and blue counties neatly replicate the infamous state-by-state 2000 electoral map.
Casey, with his name as a point-grabbing commodity, is a conservative (by Democrat standards) handpicked to spoil Santorum's re-election. At least that was the thinking nearly two years ago, when Democrat leaders picked him -- the perfect choice, born weeks after John Kerry's losing presidential run.
Now, not so much so.
You see, Ned Lamont, victor over Sen. Joe Lieberman in this month's U.S. Senate primary in Connecticut, has made it unfashionable to be anything but progressive. Moderate (let alone, conservative) Democrat candidates need to move to the back of the party bus.
Casey is not a moderate Democrat; on social and hawk issues, he is as conservative as you get without being a Republican.
Regarding the Iraq war, he has stopped short of calling for all-out withdrawal, believing that our country should achieve victory and stabilize the Iraqi government. Although late to comment, he finally came out in support of the appointment of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court and he was supportive of the renewal of the USA Patriot Act.
All are positions unfortunate for him in this re-minted McGovern era in the Democratic Party.
So how does the party come out a-hootin' and a-hollerin' for the likes of Ned Lamont while vigorously supporting Casey, who is 10 times more conservative than Lieberman?
If Green Party candidate Carl Romanelli is able to get on Pennsylvania's ballot, then Casey really has a problem: Romanelli supports a woman's right to an abortion.
Do the likes of Kate Michelman, resident Pennsylvanian and former president of the National Association of Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL), and her pro-choice peers hold their noses and vote for Casey• Do they go against everything that they have ever stood for, everything they've worked for in terms of keeping the government out of their bedrooms?
How bitterly hypocritical if they do. That's putting party before principles, instantly forsaking their card-carrying rights in the women's movement.
Voters finally are beginning to focus on the Senate race and the fact that Casey is not talking issues. Ask your average Pennsylvanian where Casey stands on the war in Iraq and recent polling shows the majority of people don't have a clue.
Plus, every day that Casey spends outside of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia is a loss for him -- which makes you wonder why he is all over Central Pennsylvania.
Senate races are about issues. Governor races are about personality. Luckily for Santorum, he has both a strong conviction on issues and a strong personality.
Clearly, the latest Quinnipiac Poll shows why Democrats are so determined to go after the Green Party: Every one of its votes is a Casey vote. And the Greens' ballot presence makes this race no longer an equation of 50 percent plus 1 but a matter of a plurality.
Remember, that's how Santorum and Tom Ridge both won in 1994 -- not with a majority but with a plurality.
All of those retail-politics baby steps are putting Santorum within striking distance.

Sep 23, 2013; Minneapolis, MN, USA; Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander (35) delivers a pitch during the second inning against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. Mandatory Credit: Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports / Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sport
Starting for the Tigers
RH Justin Verlander
RH Justin Verlander
The stats: 13-12, 3.46 ERA, 22-for-34 in quality starts (six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer).
The skinny: For the first time since 2008, when he led the American League in losses, Verlander didnt finish at least nine games above .500. For one reason or another, he struggled for most of the year to get into the kind of consistent, dominant groove in which he so often worked the past two years. But he also was a victim of poor support four times he didnt allow a run, and yet the Tigers lost the game. Two outings came in his last two starts of the regular season, which capped a September in which he had a 2.27 ERA and provided hope hell resume being his vintage self in the postseason.
The long ball: This is one area in which he didnt drop off from the previous two seasons. He allowed 19 homers, the same as in 2012 and five fewer than his MVP season of 2011.
The running game: It was a problem. Runners were successful on 21 of 25 stolen-base attempts with Verlander pitching.
Key matchups: As leadoff man Coco Crisp is 8-for-24 off Verlander in the regular season, and he led off Game 1 of last years series with a homer against Verlander. Crisp is Oaklands top stolen-base threat, so its the old story: the best way for Verlander to keep him from running is to keep him off base.
Say what? Verlander allowed 43 runs with two outs, a career high. Since the outset of his rookie season in 2006, he has thrown almost 29,000 regular-season pitches nearly 1,500 more than anyone else in that span. Perhaps all those pitches caught up to Verlander at times this season when he got deep into innings and couldnt make a two-out pitch to get out of trouble.
Starting for the As
RH Sonny Gray
RH Sonny Gray
The stats: 5-3, 2.85 ERA in 10 starts, and 6-for-10 in quality starts. He pitched four scoreless innings in two relief appearances.
The skinny: Gray, 23, made his debut in July and has been part of the rotation since mid-August. He didnt throw 100 pitches in any of his five September starts, so several relievers might be busy in Game 2.
The long ball: Gray has allowed four homers in 64 innings.
The running game: Base stealers are 1-for-2 against Gray.
Key matchups: Gray has never faced the Tigers. Left-handed batters have a significantly higher on-base percentage against Gray than right-handers do .301 to .231.
Say what? When Verlander beat the As in the decisive Game 5 of the division series last year, Gray was in the Instructional League in Arizona. Grays ERA at home (1.99) was about half what it was on the road (3.86).

HAVERSTRAW — The most contentious Democratic primary season in town history will end when voters go to the polls Sept. 10.
The most heated contest has been for superintendent of highways. A former candidate was accused of approaching another, offering to drop out in exchange for $3,000. Later, one candidates bumper sticker was placed on the headstone of his opponents parents.
The two still in the race for highway superintendent are John Piperato, 62, and George Wargo, 61. Both are running on their four decades of experience: Piperato in the private sector and Wargo in the public sector.
I believe its more of an administrative job, which Ive had 35 to 40 years of experience of running businesses, Piperato, who owns trailer parks, said of the highway chief position. I can save money, and I know how to control a budget. And I know how to control men.
Piperato said he would bring new ideas to save money, such as a four-day workweek and an equipment-sharing program with other villages.
Wargo, assistant general foreman with the Rockland County Highway Department, said that because of his job, he knows how to get the best deals for the town.
Im on a very good relationship with a lot of vendors, Wargo said. I have a working relationship with all the other towns and villages in the county where I can call up and ask for a piece of equipment if its available.
The supervisor race has also been fierce, with challenger Rita Louie, 55, saying the current administration is stuck in a 1970s, 1980s mindset.
They havent progressed into the 21st century, said Louie, a Pomona village trustee, comparing the town with other municipalities.
The incumbent, Howard Phillips, 56, shrugged off Louies charges, saying that the towns financial condition has been healthier than ever. He noted it had among the best ratings in the 2012 fiscal stress report by the state Comptrollers Office.
We were rated better than any other town in Rockland County, Phillips said.
Two seats are up for re-election on the four-member Democrat-dominated Town Board. Vincent Gamboli, 74, and Isidro Papo Cancel, 64, are both seeking another four-year term. Both said they were proud of their involvement with a variety of community activities.
Ricky Sanchez, 45, and Andres Nunez, 34, are seeking the Democratic line to run for the Town Board seats. Sanchez, a former Haverstraw village trustee, said he wants to be an independent voice representing residents. Nunez, who unsuccessfully ran for village trustee last year, did not return messages left Thursday and Friday.
Town Clerk Karen Bulley, 59, who was appointed in January after Town Clerk Josephine Carella died in November, is running to secure her first full two-year term. Carellas son, Bernard Carella, 62, is challenging her in the primary.
Receiver of Taxes Ann McGovern, 73, is seeking re-election, and Dian Cifuni, 59, is challenging her.

18.8 x 12.1 x 2.2 cm (book measurement (conservation)) | RCIN 1058666
James Anderson (1739-1808)
The Bee, or literary weekly intelligencer, consisting of original pieces and selections from performances of merit, foreign and domestic . . . Volume 10, Wednesday July 11, 1792 - Aug 29, 1792 / by Ja 1792
'The Bee, or Literary Weekly Intelligencer' was a magazine written by James Anderson, a farmer as well as a prolific essayist. He aimed his publication at men involved in business, arguing that so long as knowledge was held only in the literary circles, rather than in manufacturing ones, Britain could not progress. Each week's edition cost 6 pence. 'The Bee' ran from December 1790 to January 1794, in a total of 163 instalments.
Anderson's article on the monarch's involvement in a project to produce fine wool in Britain was accompanied by a drawing of a Merino ram 'to satisfy the curiosity of the public'. He followed this with an extract from 'Annals of Agriculture' by Arthur Young, who describes being given a Merino ram by George III, named Don. Young praises the King's interest in agriculture as forward-thinking, and good for the country.
George III was keenly interested in improving crops and stock-breeding, an interest almost certainly aroused by Lord Bute, whose own early adulthood was spent 'amusing himself with the study of agriculture, botany and architecture'. From the 1760s George III was improving the estates he had inherited at Richmond and Kew, which included two farms, and by the mid-1780s he was also farming in the Little Park in Windsor. In the late 1780s George III began an experiment to see if it was possible for British wool and cloth to be of the same superior quality as that produced in Spain, especially as historically Britain had commanded the wool market. He bought some Spanish Merino sheep from France, and appointed Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society, who was conducting a similar experiment, unofficial stud-master and shepherd.
From 1790 sheep from the King's flock were being sold at public auctions. The Merinos which would be among the first to travel to Australia to establish fine wool production there were purchased at one of these auctions in August 1804. George III's investigations provided crucial knowledge of sheep breeding and fine cloth manufacture to the first Australian colonists, and contributed significantly to the growth of the Commonwealth wool trade. Within fifty years fine-wool production in Australia and other British colonies ended Britain's dependence on European wool. Australia is still a major exporter of wool to the rest of the world.

It was a couple years ago at Abasin, I was with a skier and two boarders who have been riding/skiing for over ten years. we get to the lip and I remember looking down thinking no way.. But I did it anyway.
They told me to stay away from the fresh snow so I don't ruin it for them. ;O
Anyway.. the first run.. fell down while I was trying to check my speed.. slid down headfirst.
The 2nd run was pretty fun though! Made it down without falling.
(The name of the run escapes me.. But its pretty steep)

so this little hill near me (perfect north slopes)was where i did my first "black diamond". i was 12, and on skis (blegh), and it scared the living piss out of me. so of course, one of my wonderful siblings pushed me off the top and let me go on my merry way... on my face/butt/back/knees, etc. i can't really remember that day very well...
anyway, the first time on a snowboard was this year (my first season) at the same place. after 3 or 4 visits, i was linking turns etc. and getting better fast and also getting bored with some of the other runs. so, i went and tried this black diamond. after about 2 hours or so, i was totally making that slope my bitch.
A few weeks back, i went up to Sunday River with my brother & some of his friends for a week. (best brother in the world, even paid for my flight ) by the end of the first day, i could do the greens with proficiency, and was starting to explore some easy blues. about the 4th day, he and his friends had me go down a moderate black diamond. nothing special. day 6 i was bombing down em for fun and even doing some of the easier double blacks.
lol... the only real injuries that i got were from the park and one incident where i unknowingly went down a run with a small cliff (5-10') at about the middle, and the landing was... not so good of a landing, if you could call it that.
next year, i'm goin back to perfect north and im gonna rape that mountain all up and down the midwest.

Second time on the slope, was with some friends. Off the lift you could go left, or right. They were yelling at me to go left, but I went right, thinking they were fucking with me (we are like that). So I went right. Black diamond. oops. Oh well committed to it. I think black diamonds are scarier but when you fall, it doesn't hurt because you don't hit the deck at such a perpendicular angle. You just keep sliding.
I still get the 30-40 foot slides sometimes, they're actually pretty funny.

Fluery Ready to Play
Chicago coach Brian Sutter says winger Theo Fluey is ready to play. The decision now lies in the hands of two doctors who seem to be taking there time making up their minds. After being suspended for the first quarter of the season, it seems as if he'll be back in the next few weeks. This is definitely good news for the Hawks.
After a good start to the season, Chicago is one and seven in there last eight games. Mironov requesting a trade doesn't help much either. Adding Fluery to the lineup would add another scoring threat to this struggling team.
But even with Fluery back, this team is still a solid defenceman and a proven goaltender away from making the playoffs

Regardless of whether you've been naughty or nice this year, Santa and his party-happy elves will undoubtedly deliver a gaily wrapped wrench right into your best intentions for a healthy, trim you.
Few are the folks who can completely resist the temptations of the season -the abundant hors d'oeuvres, overflowing goblets of wine and the rich meals. Add the stress of too much to do in too short a time and the emotional rollercoaster that are relatives and you might end up pear-shaped like the fruit of the Christmas carol's partridge-intensive tree.
Missing a few workouts won't hurt you that ...

Austria, Germany and Switzerland withdrew support for export-loan guarantees to building contractors for the project because developers were unable to meet the environmental and cultural conditions set by the World Bank, the countries said in a statement.
"Despite some significant improvements, the requirements ... in the areas of the environment, cultural heritage and resettlement could not be fulfilled within the contractually stipulated timeframe," the three countries' export guarantee agencies said in a joint statement.
"As a result, there is no longer a basis for continuing the project with export risk insurance from the three countries, thus ending the export risk insurance cover."
The statement said that Ankara had failed to meet a number of conditions they had set for awarding 1.2 billion euros ($1.7 billion) worth of loan guarantees frozen in December.
The Ilisu project calls for the damming of the Tigris river and construction of a 1,200-megawatt power station as part of a $32 billion irrigation plan for impoverished provinces in Turkey's southeast.
The project has come under intense criticism as it would mean that parts of Hasankeyf, a small and poor town on the banks of the Tigris that was once a mighty city in Mesopotamia in ancient times, would disappear under water.
Turkey has said it plans to relocate antiquities and monuments from Hasankeyf, the region's only surviving city built during the Middle Ages, with roots dating to the Assyrians.
Turkey reiterates commitment
The Turkish Environment Ministry criticized the decision, saying it is politicaly motivated. The decision of the three countries' institutions is not in line with expertise reports, the statement said.
"We, as the Republic of Turkey, would like to underline that our commitment to the project which is an important part of the Southeast Anatolia Project continues," the statement added.
Critics say the dam would have destroyed Hasankeyf's unique heritage that includes Assyrian, Roman and Ottoman monuments, and displace an estimated 50,000 people.
Ankara said the project, with its 1,200-megawatt powerplant, would generate 3.8 billion kWh of electricity annually, contribute 300 million euros to the economy, create thousands of jobs and irrigate vast areas of farmland.
The proposed credit for the Ilisu project is made up of 450 million euros ($627 million) in export-loan guarantees and 750 million euros in commercial loans, according to officials from Yuksel Insaat, a Turkish constructor involved in the work, Bloomberg said.
Turkey will build the dam with its own money if foreign loans aren't forthcoming, Eroglu told reporters in Ankara on July 1.

Applying for Aid
Verification Process
Each academic year, approximately 30% of financial aid applications are selected by the U.S. Department of Education for review. This process of review is known as verification .
Questions? Review our verification FAQs.
What happens if I'm selected for verification?
If you are selected for verification, we must verify that the information you submitted on your financial aid application is true and correct. We will notify you via email if you have been selected, and we cannot generate a financial aid award for you until the verification process is complete.
If you do not wish to apply for any need-based assistance, however, verification is not required. Verification is also not required if you plan to take part only in the Federal Parent PLUS or unsubsidized loan programs, or if you are certain you will not be attending DU within the academic year. Contact us if you are selected for verification and either of these circumstances apply.
What do I need to submit?
If selected for verification, you will receive an email from our office indicating you (and your parents, if applicable) will need to submit one or more of the following items:
- Verification Worksheet
- Student and/or parent tax return transcripts (obtained directly from the IRS)
- Student and/or parent W-2s
Tax return transcripts and W-2s should be from the year prior to the academic year for which you are applying for aid (for example, for the 2015-16 academic year, you should submit your 2014 tax return transcript and/or W-2s). Not all documents will be required of all students, and you may be able to utilize the IRS data retrieval tool to update your FAFSA instead of submitting a tax return transcript. In addition to reviewing the email sent from our office, you can view outstanding requirements by logging into PioneerWeb.
How do I get a copy of my tax transcript?
Once you have filed your taxes, you can download a copy of your transcript through the IRS website:
- Go to www.irs.gov.
- Click on "Get Transcript of Your Tax Records" in the Tools section of the homepage.
- Click on "Get Transcript Online" and then "Create an Account" (if you don't have one already).
- Continue to follow the instructions to create your profile.
- Once you have successfully created your profile, choose the "Higher Education/Student Aid" button, then click on the appropriate tax year in the "Return Transcript" box.
- Your transcript will then appear as a PDF that you can save.
Alternatively, you may also call 1-800-908-9946 to request your tax transcript.
Using IRS Data Retrieval Instead of Getting a Tax Transcript
Using the IRS data retrieval tool may eliminate the need to submit an IRS Tax Return Transcript because it will import your tax return data directly into your application. Generally, you can use this tool 2-3 weeks after submitting your taxes electronically (8-11 weeks if you filed a paper tax return). To use data retrieval to correct your FAFSA after you have already submitted it:
- Log into www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- Click "Make FAFSA Corrections," enter your login information and click "Next."
- Click on the "Financial Information" link toward the top of the page.
- Choose "Already completed" from the drop-down box, check the "None of the above" box (provided this is appropriate for your tax return) and click "Next."
- Enter your PIN and click "Link to IRS." You'll be taken to the IRS website.
- Enter the required information and click "Submit." If your information was successfully validated, your tax return information will appear. Click "Transfer Now" and then "OK" to return to the FAFSA website.
- Click on the "Sign and Submit" link toward the top of the page and submit your corrections.
When do I need to submit this documentation?
The priority deadline for new students to submit requested documents is March 1st; the priority deadline for continuing students is April 1st. All students, including transfer students, who submit verification documents after the priority deadline may not be considered for all sources of need-based assistance, as some funds are limited. The sooner requested documents are submitted, the sooner we will be able to generate an award package for you.
The final deadline for verification is the student's last day of attendance during an academic year or June 30 of the academic year, whichever is first. Students submitting documents after the final deadline will not be eligible for financial aid for that year.
A Note About Verification Results
If verification documents reveal inaccuracies in your FAFSA, your application will be corrected electronically by a member of our office. If a correction is made, an email may be sent to the address listed on the FAFSA indicating a change has been made to the file. If incomplete or inadequate verification documents are submitted, you will be notified of discrepancies by email and instructed on how to correct them.
Verification may result in a change to your financial aid award. If so, you will be notified of any changes. You are encouraged to contact us for an explanation of corrections and amended awards.
Should our review of your financial aid application reveal you may have engaged in fraud or other criminal misconduct in connection with your application, we are required to report this information to the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education for investigation. Examples of such information include (but are not limited to) false claims of independent student status, false claims of citizenship, use of false identities, forgery of signatures or certificates and false statements of income.

ROCKVILLE, Md. — A stop-arm camera program in Montgomery County issued 272 citations to motorists illegally passing school buses during the first three months of operation.
The program, which currently has cameras on 25 Montgomery County Public Schools buses, launched in early January. The Montgomery County Police Department's Automated Traffic Enforcement Unit reviews violations, and citations are mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Montgomery County Council members heard an update on the program during a committee meeting on Monday. Program officials said that an additional 75 buses will be wired for stop-arm cameras, which will allow police to move cameras to buses on routes with frequent violations.
Of the 272 citations that were issued during the first three months of the program, 128 have been paid. For motorists who receive a citation from the automated school bus camera system, the fine is $125, and there are no points associated with it. The penalty is significantly steeper for stop-arm runners who are caught by a police officer: a $570 fine and three points.
According to The Gazette, Montgomery County Council members said during the Monday meeting that the $125 citations are too low, and they want the fine to be raised to $250.

I believe this is a great step for both the police and the school bus industry. I as a bus driver have had several drivers blow thru my reds and stop arm. It is a very scary situation. I think all buses should be required to have them. This program will make the public aware of how serious this can be.
