The ATLANTIS INVADERS
A short synopsis for the released 3rd Draft is as follows: On the aquatic planet Atlantis VI, some frightened offshore workers meet at night but are brutalized and kidnapped by stronger native beings. One of the workers is spared, subsequently organizing many others to force the unwilling administrators to plead Starfleet for help. The nearest available starship, the Exeter, is dispatched to help.
Shortly, Captain Garrovick and a landing party materialize on Atlantis VI and are brought to meet its administrators, including Brian Callahan, a former acquaintance of Garrovick's. Callahan and the nameless director admit to being coerced into calling Starfleet for help, but recant as best they can. Unconvinced, Garrovick and crew question the lone survivor of the latest attack but find out very little.
Perturbed by the Starfleet officers' continued presence on the mining installation, Deputy Callahan bribes the workers into silence, while the Director and his aides are confronted by their silent partner, an Orion pirate.
Later that night, Commander Cutty and his 2 security officers stumble upon 3 of the Atlantean natives as they tried to infiltrate the installation. After a short struggle, the leader is stunned unconscious while the other 2 escape with one of the security men as a captive.
Back at a storage facility, Garrovick attempts to communicate with the amphibian by using a universal translator. They are interrupted when three more burst in with energy whips and dispatch all the Starfleet officers save Garrovick. Yet another amphibian, the female Tri'tillya uses another weapon to subdue the Captain into unconsciousness.
Garrovick awakens a prisoner, alongside his missing security officer and all the other miners. Garrovick overcomes his amphibian guards then frees his fellow officer. They decide to seek help and must dive into a pool of water to escape imprisonment. They emerge into another area and are again confronted by a squad of amphibians, who eventually overwhelm them. Tragically, the security officer sacrifices his life in grand Redshirt fashion to protect his commander.
Back on the surface, Commander Harris attempts to convince the Director to cooperate in locating her Captain but he refuses, even hinders all her efforts.
A prisoner again, Garrovick faces the leader of the amphibian race, Argolas. Each accuses the other of unprovoked aggression against their kind. Argolas then accuses the miners and their technology of soiling the water that is their home and source of life. Faced with this allegation, Garrovick pledges to broker a peaceful resolution. Unwilling to believe the otherworlder, Argolas' military leader, Drident, quashes Garrovick's plan and he is again returned to prison.
Above the suface inside a shuttlecraft, Cutty discovers the location of the underwater city. Inside the Exeter, Harris is forbidden to interfere by Commodore Jennings back at Starfleet headquarters and to pull out of orbit.
In the amphibian city, Garrovick is again shackled, but is soon covertly released by Tri'tillya. They move about a deserted city to reach the throne room, witnessing all amphibian warriors speeding to the surface. With the help of an underwater beast, Garrovick and Tri'tillya also return to the surface.
On Exeter, after discovering evidence of the colony administrator's dubious activities that directly contravene Starfleet regulations, Harris orders a strike team to beam back on Atlantis VI and rescue the Captain.
At the installation, chaos is everywhere as amphibians and miners clash violently. The Exeter strike team appear just in time to witness a large cargo ship blasting off into the sky. Garrovick attempts to placate the two clashing sides, but is spurned by Drident who fights him hand-to-hand. Soon defeated and disgraced, an enraged Drident stabs his king out of humiliation.
Garrovick quickly returns aboard Exeter and it launches after the already escaping first ship. Quickly dispatching 2 Orion pirate ship reinforcements, the Exeter pursues the Woden class ship into an asteroid field where it accidently destroys itself.
With the conflict over, Garrovick bids farewell to the Tri'tillya, who must now lead her people as her father did.

The ATLANTIS INVADERS
(1) The script is clearly too long: at 60 pages on paper with multiple fight sequences, it is obvious some cutting is necessary to help it fit into a 50 to 53 minute running time (nowadays with 3 minute-long commercial breaks it would have to be even shorter, but I am assuming EXETER studio would wish to remain faithful to 1965 network standards)
(2) Going from that, I would think it necessary to combine the characters of the Director and Brian Callahan into a single character, from a standpoint of having less guest starring actors to juggle, and less FX-heavy sequences to clutter up the ending. Callahan seems to have been created only to follow the Trek tradition of having a main characters childhood or academy acquaintance as part of the opposing side. But unlike Gary Mitchell, Finnegan or many other of Jim Kirks classmates and teachers, Brian Callahans personality (other than being a smooth-talker) remains very elusive and undefined.
The Director seems to have been intended to be a more ruthless Nilz Baris, but his motivations are obscure other than greed, but it is never explained why he couldnt become more rich selling to the Federation rather than the Orions.
(3) As Ive mentioned before, the love subplot between John Garrovick and Tritillya feels unnecessary to the story (you will notice I did not mention it in the synopsis). It is also completely devoid of conflict: just why is Tritillya so attracted to Garrovick rather than a member of her own people? She basically betrays her people to rescue Garrovick, disobeying a direct command issued by her own father, and never does she feel anguish at doing so. And again, her personality seems very murky, apart from being beautiful and feeling sexual desire towards the Captain.
Her character could be replaced by a male member of her race, whose only goal is to save his people and that character would fit as well.
(4) In fact, many of the characters motivations are left unclear. I will enumerate them as we go more in detail...

The ATLANTIS INVADERS
On planet Atlantis VI, 3 apprehensive offshore miners meet at night, and are attacked by 3 amphibian natives. After a very short battle the latter abscond with 2 of the miners. Cut to indoors, where frightened and angry workers coerce their uncooperative mining installation administrators into summoning Starfleet for help. Cut to the starship Exeter bridge for an extended sequence where crew members discuss the Captain's slimmer waistline and B'Fuselek's eating habits, before answering a distress call to Atlantis VI.
At first glance, it is necessary to apply the scissors to this sequence as 8 and 1/4 script pages, with action and dialogue estimated between 10 and 15 minutes of footage, is much too long for what is usually a 4 minute sequence. Before we do that, some observations:
(1) As previously mentioned, should all minor characters be white anglo-saxon types? Yes, the original series often forgot themselves with a majority of american-sounding names, but a bit of ethnic diversity for this series couldn't hurt.
(2) Jenkins and the 2 other miners discussing their fellow workers' disappearance, and the lack of investigation by the powers that be. It's puzzling no one considers bad weather, clumsiness, suicide, alcohol or even a shark-like predator as possible reasons some men have vanished from an offshore installation. It's mentioned later in the script this wasn't a daily occurrence, more like every two weeks or so.
(3) 3 amphibians surprise the 3 workers, appear to overpower them easily then go back into the water with only two of the workers. As a director I'd have a hard time staging this: why only take 2 of the 3 men with them as the amphibians flee, especially if they are stronger. I would reduce the number to 2 amphibians.
(4) These kidnappings as such make little sense: in DEVIL IN THE DARK, the Horta used its natural abilities to kill many workers, leaving gruesome evidence for the survivors to see. In the ATLANTIS INVADERS, all the kidnap victims are merely taken prisoner. So why was Starfleet summoned? Doesn't the colony have a local military force trained to deal with potential dangers or invasion threats? It would seem pretty foolish out in deep space to depend on rescue that could take days to arrive and not have any soldiers or weapons that would provide at least SOME form of protection.
(5) The colony DIRECTOR acts very foolishly for a man of his position. He is forcefully convinced to contact Starfleet, not realizing a starship would investigate. They arrive and he blurts out that nothing is going on, then when confronted by Starfleet personnel he claims nothing is wrong, all is under control, no breach of procedure exists, that they must leave. It's almost as if the character of Jerry Lundergaard from FARGO had crossed over into the Star Trek universe. He even dies in a moronic way, almost of his own doing.
(6) Jenkins the only eyewitness claims that because the amphibians were humanoid that they must be alien, thus an invasion force. Not a very efficient one since they only manage to snatch one or two people on a bi-weekly basis. I am assuming since The TRESSARIAN INTERSECTION had the Gorns and post- THE THOLIAN WEB Tholians, that that episode and The ATLANTIS INVADERS occur sometime during the latter half of Star Trek's third season or the fourth (Star Trek: Phase II). Therefore it would have been interesting to have these characters enumerating some of the suspected hostile alien races (Klingons, Romulans, etc).
Honestly, I would remove the above sequences entirely from the script and begin the episode immediately on the Exeter's bridge. The reasons are two-fold: satisfying your main actors, and cost-cutting.
This episode is clearly meant to center on Jimm Johnson as John Garrovick, but in this third draft with all the action and additional characters, there is barely anything for Commander Harris and B'fuselek to do. I would expand on the bridge sequence for the whole segment, and end it with B'fuselek receiving Atlantis VI's Priority One distress call, with Cutty explaining out loud that Priority One means a hostile invasion. The Red Alert klaxon sounds as Garrovick addresses the crew, building dramatic tension and music which fades right into the opening theme.
The previous minutes if featuring the crew, would address many plot points that come up later:
(1) Taking a page from the movies: ''Show, don't tell!'', instead of Cutty going on and on about Garrovick looking more fit, and that many crewmembers follow his lead, show it visually by having him standing all buff doing his duties, with the female ensigns obviously showing interest (of course Harris would be bemused by this), while the male crew members display envy and annoyance. Since Garrovick isn't as narcissistic as Kirk, he would of course be oblivious to all the females' glances and dismiss his leaner outlook as more of a medical necessity. From this you can build up to his unexpected romance with Tri'tillya.
(2) Garrovick and B'fuselek's fish discussion is interesting, if a bit overdone (catfish, Red Snapper Fish, Salmon Fish, Scrod Fish...). It could be a really great opportunity to demonstrate just how alien B'fuselek is compared to his human crewmates (before I go on, I must admit to quitting on ENTERPRISE the TV show within a third of the first season, so am unfamiliar on all exploration of the Andorian race within that show). While Spock is the rigid know-it-all from high school, B'Fuselek seems more like the creepy bug-collecting geek type. Add to that the fact that as explained in the first two STARSHIP EXETER episodes, that Andorians live underground, so why not have an Andorian's diet consist of roots, bugs and squishy larvae? Just as North Americans consume a lot of beef and pork products, while the hindus worship the cow, Jews tend to eat kosher or Asians having dog, turtle or shark as part of their menu.
(3) It would also be a good opportunity to explore the tension between Commander Harris and Cutty that comes to a near-mutiny later in the episode. Without a previously-established undercurrent of envy, jealousy, or simple dislike, Cutty just comes across as a hot-headed misogynist when he forgets all military protocol and openly defies a superior officer. It also doesn't help his cause as all of his concern is for the missing Garrovick, but he displays none for his own security officer, Freeborn, who later dies tragically.
Harris' stoicism and Vulcan-like demeanor could just be a shell designed to protect her as she attempts to climb the ladder towards her first command, still an old boys club in what should be a more open-minded 23rd century (as suggested by Janice Lester in TURNABOUT INTRUDER).

Re: Whatever happened to Starship Exeter?
This story seems to have the germ of good concept, namely an interstellar Halliburton gone bad, but it needs some more tweaking in the area of why this mining operation is so important that Starfleet needs to investigate and what the director of this operation is trying to cover up, and why. And, of course, why the amphibian natives are doing what they're doing. Think Avatar on a smaller scale, without having to have someone going native. It doesn't have to turn into "Dances With Frogs".
The mining operation needs its own security force, and, in this case, it needs to be somewhat inadequate for the challenge before it. They'd also serve as a very obvious obstacle to keep Garrovick from getting to the bottom of the mess.

Re: Whatever happened to Starship Exeter?
Here's what my notes say about the project:
In late 2003 I stumbled across the fanfilm "Starship Exeter: The Savage Empire" produced by Jimm and Josh Johnson. Crude and clumsy as it was, I had to admire the effort put into it, and in poking around a bit more I found the Exeter website and discovered that they planned to make additional episodes. Then, I found the two draft scripts on the site...
I'm going to admit here I wasn't impressed by the scripts. There were two. "The Mighty Galvanaut" was a clumsy, awkward affair with no real point and attempts at humor that fell flat. "The Atlantis Invaders" was a more traditional action adventure story, but it had too many plot threads, too many characters, too many sets, and too many scenes. However, I liked "The Savage Empire" enough to want to pitch in for fun, and I thought that offering to help rewrite one of the scripts was the way to go.
A writing sample and some exploratory scenes convinced the brothers Johnson to let me have a go at rewriting one of the scripts, and as the plot for "The Mighty Galvanaut" was annexed to "Star Trek: New Voyages", that left "Atlantis".
It didn't take long for me to realize that cleaning up the existing script was an effort in futility. As with many stories conceived by people who don't do a lot of writing, it was a tangle of plot threads, half developed ideas, and ham fisted attempts at thematics.
I became convinced that trying to fix the story as-was would be more work than doing it from scratch and would yield only a so-so result.
So, I tossed the existing script aside and wrote an entirely new one from scratch, including only those characters and plot events that stuck in my mind as interesting or useful. I kept the basic scenario, a few of the guest characters, that the Captain would have a romance, the story about the plastic treasure chest, and that the finale would feature a dramatic space chase. I didn't keep anything else. I felt my job was to make a solid, fast paced, tightly written action adventure story around these elements, and that was it.
I also changed names and added miners named Patel, Rodriguez, Watanabe, etc. to make the future less lily-white.
The original plan was that the scenes that take place on the titular Starship Exeter would be shot during the production of the new Exeter episode titled "The Tressaurian Intersection." The rest would be shot months later in a different location. After my first draft, I decided to put my primary focus on getting the story structure figured out and the shipboard scenes "locked" so that they could be shot as planned. I intended to go back to the other scenes and do a lot of reworking and adjusting in the intervening months.
The shoot for "Tressaurian" didn't go as planned, and in order to get that episode in the can, the crew had to forego any shooting of "Atlantis".
Around this time I started a new job and had to put the entire Exeter thing on the back burner, intending to revisit it later. However, the more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that my script wasn't one that should be shot. "Tressaurian" had been a tough shoot, and it was a "bottle" show (shot almost entirely on the newly built ship sets). Atlantis had scenes on the ship with the crew, interior and exterior sets for the mining colony, numerous miners and aliens, which meant more costumes and makeup. It was big, and I was convinced that there was too much story to cram into a 50 minute film. And this AFTER I'd pared back the scale of the script considerably from what had preceded my attempts.
Here's one little moment from my script:
You set this to maximum power. I had
it set for stun.
(slight smile)
"Stun" is not a persuasive threat.
The script has never been released or posted to a website, and while I've toyed with putting it out there, I've to date decided against it.
Hope that clarifies matters.

At Tomichi Creek Natural Beef, we sell all natural, 100% grass-fed beef. Our cattle are raised on Tomichi Creek in Gunnison County, and are fed grass raised on our ranch. We process our beef at USDA certified and inspected Scanga Meats in Salida, Colorado, just over Monarch Pass. Our cattle are not subjected to a stressful experience when they are sent to processing, they are fed on pasture, are not finished with grain, and do not receive antibiotics or hormones.
Tomichi Creek cattle are raised by the Peterson family on upper Tomichi Creek in Gunnison County. We raise limousin /angus cross cattle which means our beef is tender and delicious with just the right amount of fat content. Our calves are born in the late winter and early spring, so they do not reach an adequate weight or age for slaughter until they are at least a year and a half in age. In other words – local beef is seasonal. This means that local cattle become available for processing or sale starting in the fall of each year . Our inventory will be managed to try and keep a variety of cuts available throughout the year, but the availability of locally raised natural beef for retail is dependent on the age of the cattle and the availability of processing.
You can purchase our beef at several locations including The Local Market in Gunnison, Colorado.

Real paper modelers don't need tabs.
Sometimes I feel like a tab sometimes I don't.
Last edited by B-Manic; 06-14-2011 at 06:19 PM. Reason: more cowbell - actually Tab ads on youtube from 80's
It's easy enough to make your own tabs...I think Darwin pretty much summed it up. Depending on how strong you need the join determines what thickness of paper you want the tab you cut out to be. Tubes and cones require you roll the tab to conform to the part to be tabbed. "Darwin's box in a box" (or tube within a tube theory), is required many times for strength,... especially when upscaling. I build large aircraft mostly. I've found that internal structure and spars many times can be eliminated entirely using this method and build times are decreased.
Good luck
To Tab or Not to Tab......
I think the major difference is the thickness of the material, paper or card.
Paper models usually have tabs whereas Card models don't.
Tabs are great for easy building (for kids), rapid building or prototyping, in my paper designs I Always use alternating tabs to allow me to align parts better, because the thickness is less, the step problem isn't that much of a problem really. In my prototyping white card models tabs are used and glued to the outside to make a cleaner mold.
I also design paper models without tabs, they do look alot better, but you need to take more care when building them if they contain alot of curves, get it slightly out of line and you mess the model up completely, which is heartbreaking if your close to finishing. Paper tends to warp more than card when alot of glue is applied.
You can cut the tabs off if you don't want them, alot of people do that.
I think it's one of those individual preference kind of things, both on the part of the designer, and the builder. Sometimes I use them, sometimes they get in the way and I cut them down or off. It's an interesting subject for debate though, subject to the situation maybe?

I have found that a tab-less model could be confusing to figure out without tabs, particularly when it's a complicated shape.
As a designer my decision was to include tabs. For the simple reason that If you want tabs, they are there and if you don't, just cut them off. For me they just help making sense of the model before cutting. As for using them, it's builders choice.
Personally depends greatly on the designer, if the model is tabbed respect the wishes of the designer is armed with his indications, the opposite case ocurrs when no tabs brings, some liked and others not.
One really good reason for tabs is bond strength. Unless you're using a gap-filling glue like epoxy, the strength of the glue joint is proportional to the area you are gluing.
So, if you glue two pieces of card edge-to-edge the glued area is very small (card thickness times length of joint). If that's strong enough for the application, go with it as this can be the least visible joint.
If you glue using a joiner strip (butt-block in carpentry/boatbuilding) you have plenty of glue area for a strong connection (strip width time length), but you also produce a hard spot where the card thickness is doubled. The hard spot can be a factor when gluing curved surfaces - but this does produce a smooth seam.
Tabs provide plenty of gluing surface and are capable of joining sharp angles (wing leading edge) but tabs produce that "step" where the parts join. There is also a potential hard spot where the tab has doubled the card thickness. You can hide the step if you crush the seam by squeezing it or by rolling it between a stiff rod and an appropriately shaped backer.
The beauty of modelling in paper/card is that it's your choice. Use the tabs if you like (or design them in) or cut them off and replace with strips if you prefer.

I can see where from the New modelers point of view, if some models are designed with tabs and some models are not, why don't the models without tabs have the strips already included.
lately I have been including the strips in my designs, to include the color that would show under any gap. especially if the strip is a curve or complex shape.
In a larger model it is surprising how much room strips take up on the page. So to save costs I'll leave them off to lower the amount of ink used and number of pages required for the model. especially if the tabs are simple straight strips.
So for new modelers, making strips or adding tabs, is a skill that is almost immediately required to learn, as is scoring your folds...

Versatility on offense figured to be a major plus for Americas this season.
On Friday night, it was on full display in a decisive 63-35 win over Lubbock Monterey at the Socorro Student Activities Complex.
The No. 3-ranked Trailblazers (2-1) scored the game's first 35 points en route to a 42-14 halftime lead and easily rolled to their second straight win after losing their season opener to Midland.
"It's nice when you have multiple weapons you can turn to," Americas coach Patrick Melton said. "We came out and moved the ball really well and set the tone right off the bat. I was happy with our effort."
›› El Paso Times' High School Mania section
The offensive attack was impressive. Quarterback Orlando Garcia threw three touchdowns and ran for a score, running back Isak Washington scored on an 80-yard run and caught a touchdown and wide receiver Q Drennan caught a pair of touchdowns in the first-half offensive display.
Garcia was 10-for-14 for 140 yards passing, Drennan had 109 yards receiving and Washington had 120 yards rushing all in the first half.
"We wanted to come out and play well from the opening drive," Garcia said. "We had a good week of practice leading up to the game. It was a total team effort."
Americas was just as dominant on defense for most of the first half. The Trailblazers didn't allow a score until late in the second quarter when the Plainsmen (0-3) were finally able to scratch together a couple of scores.
Travon Benton scored on an 83-yard touchdown run and Blake Walden caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Camden Arnold.
Americas outgained Monterey 365 to 174 in the first half.
"The defense did a good job early of giving the offense chances to score and we took advantage," Garcia said.
Americas opened the game with a nice eight-play, 63-yard drive that was capped by a 6-yard scoring pass from Garcia to Drennan. The two later hooked up for a 40-yard scoring passing right before the end of the half. Washington also caught a 23-yard pass from Garcia.
The other touchdown in the first half for Americas came from Andrew Ramirez on a 5-yard touchdown run.
The second half was a mere formality. The Plainsmen got as close as 21 points on three occasions in the second half, but that would be as close as they would get. Garcia added a 15-yard touchdown run for the Trailblazers in the third quarter.
Garcia finished the night with 211 yards of total offense, including 71 yards rushing. The Trailblazers finished the night with 570 of total offense.
The victory avenged a 22-15 loss to Lubbock Monterey a season ago.
"This was a good win, but now it's time to get ready for district play," Garcia said.
District 1-5A action begins next week for Americas when it takes on Coronado.
Felix Chávez may be reached at 546-6167.

The White House has released a statement rejecting the Republican fiscal cliff counteroffer just hours after they made it. Communications director Dan Pfeiffer explained that the Republican plan "does not meet the test of balance":
In fact, it actually promises to lower rates for the wealthy and sticks the middle class with the bill. Their plan includes nothing new and provides no details on which deductions they would eliminate, which loopholes they will close or which Medicare savings they would achieve. Independent analysts who have looked at plans like this one have concluded that middle class taxes will have to go up to pay for lower rates for millionaires and billionaires.
Here's the Republican proposal - $2.2 trillion saved:
- $800 billion in tax revenue (keeping Bush tax cuts for all)
- $600 billion in Medicare/Medicaid cuts
- $800 billion in savings from federal agencies and programs like farm subsidies and Social Security
And here's Obama's original proposal - just under $2 trillion saved:
- $1.6 trillion in tax revenue (eliminating Bush tax cuts for incomes over $250,000)
- $400 billion in Medicare/Medicaid cuts
- $50 billion stimulus spending

LG Optimus L3II makes its world debut at MWC 2013
LG announced that the second model in its new generation Optimus L SeriesII will make its world debut in Brazil this week. This will be followed by single and dual SIM models being introduced in the other markets of South and Central America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.
Optimus L3II advances the styling and convenience of the original Optimus L3 smartphone with a new flair that complements its user experience. The Optimus L3II continues LG's design heritage with four new elements that make the device eye catching and fun to use: Seamless Layout, Laser Cut Contour, Radiant Rear Design, and colorful Smart LED Lighting on the home button.
Beyond the phone's sleek exterior, Optimus L3II offers an upgraded user experience with a stylish makeover. Thanks to its larger capacity battery, Optimus L3II now offers QuickMemo with Overlay mode — previously only available in LG's premium smartphones — to boost productivity. QuickMemo with Overlay mode allows users to jot notes on a transparent "layer" while still being able to view another screen in the background. This eliminates the need to split the screen and allows both QuickMemo and the other application to be viewed in full-screen mode simultaneously.
The Optimus L3II comes in four colors tailored to users' individual styles: indigo black, white, pink and titan. Prices will be announced at a later date.
Optimus L3II Key Specifications:

Board of Education Seeks Input on Core Statement, Values and Beliefs
Release Date: 10/26/2011 11:01:53 AM
The Board of Education of Carroll County is seeking input from the community on proposed revisions to Board Policy AD – Mission Statement, Core Values, and Vision Statement.
During their September 28, 2011 work session, a consensus of Board members agreed to discuss changing the traditional mission and vision statement policy to those of core statements, values, and beliefs. The proposed policy revisions are based in large part on the work of the Board's Community Advisory Council and are also the result of many months of gathering stakeholder input and considerable discussion and revision. However, the proposed revisions are still a work in progress.
This proposal reflects the comments and input of Board members, but will return to principals, students, and other stakeholders for additional input prior to being recommended to the Board for adoption. The intended use of this document is to provide a framework by which all other policies of the Board are formed or revised. It will also serve as a guiding document for school mottos, visions, or belief statements and decisions regarding the education of students.
The proposed revised policy is posted on the CCPS website under Featured News. Comments and suggestions may be submitted online at http://feedback.carrollk12.org. Please note that this address is for comments only and not for questions. No reply will be provided. Please be aware that the media and Carroll County citizens have requested copies of emails sent to this feedback folder. Under the Public Information Act, emails sent to the Board are public information and will be disclosed.
This item will be returned to the Board for action at its meeting on Wednesday, December 14, at 5:00 p.m.

Battle Creek is a microcosm of what is happening in towns across America. This was reflected when a large number of angry, young, white men, many with guns strapped to their belts, turned out for the city commission workshop meeting which was considering joining a National Coalition of Cities Against Gun Violence.
Banding together in a common cause - the right to own and use guns without any restrictions - they are finding power in a collective, intimidating voice in our society.
Bravo and loud support for each other and repeated misinformation on the proposal, disdainfully dismissed the discussions on the importance of joining a National Coalition of Cities Against Gun Violence and the need for background checks and legal gun registration to curb the alarming number of gun deaths in our country.
It is important to realize that these angry gun owners do not reflect the will of the majority. The vast majority, over 80 percent of Americans, many of them responsible gun owners, want to have laws that protect all citizens from mindless destruction.
We have reached a crossroads in this nation which will determine our future and well being. The problems are multifaceted and complex and there are no easy answers or solutions. But, somehow we need to attempt to address the root causes of the unrest surfacing in our cities and towns.
We need to put aside fear and come together, not in anger but with respect and open lines of communication - we all live in this community together and we can make it a better place to live.

Re: Season of the tank!-2013-14 regular season
Kanter looks likely to be traded by next trade deadline to me. He and Favors didn't work together. Unless a new coach can make them work together they need to trade him before he becomes a free agent I'd think.
Jazz should take the best player available regardless of position. I believe all the guys available to them are rated higher than the guys they have were when they were drafted. They also have Gobert and Evans in the mix up front and possibly Tomic.

IEEE Community Forecasts Devices Headed to the 2013 Gadget Graveyard
Jan 21, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- IEEE, a technical professional organization, announced that several entertainment gadgets will become extinct, desktop computers will live on, mobile phones will not be used as all-in-one devices and paper will still be plentiful this year.
According to a release, these insights were among the key findings of the 2013 Gadget Graveyard, a Facebook application where more than 1,700 IEEE members, engineers, engineering students and CES attendees cast more than 25,000 votes, deciding which devices they think will bite the dust by year-end, and which will live on.
The Gadget Graveyard was open to all for online voting from January 4-11. IEEE also offered CES attendees the opportunity to vote in its booth, where participation was encouraged by a life-like 3D rendering of Thomas Edison, one of IEEE's founding members.
"The Gadget Graveyard results have telling implications about the rapid pace of advancement in technology," said Stefan Mozar, president of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society. "In the technology industry, we tend to think about 'what's next.' But, it's also important to revisit the value of heritage devices and remember that despite constant innovation, it can take time for new technology to gain widespread adaptation." IEEE noted results of its findings: A Cloud of Entertainment Gadgets for movies, television and music are most likely to "bite the dust" this year. Respondents voted that CD-ROMS (75 percent), radios (58 percent), MP3 players (55 percent), DVDs (53 percent) and cable boxes (51 percent) will enter the Gadget Graveyard by the end of 2013. As Internet streaming services continue to rise in popularity, traditional media devices will likely be less relevant with consumers.
Not as Mobile as you Think Desktop computers will live on - at least for another year. The computing power of tablets and smart phones has not reached a point where people are ready to give up their towers, with three out of five (62 percent) voters indicating that desktops will not enter the Gadget Graveyard.
All-in-one...who cares While many smart phones have the ability to take great pictures, provide directions from point A to B, and host apps that can lock the car, many voters aren't ready to say goodbye to their single function devices. In fact, the majority of voters believe cameras (75 percent), car keys (60 percent) and GPS systems (58 percent) will survive another year.
People Love Paper Despite the ever-growing availability of laptops and tablets, the majority of voters said spiral-bound notebooks will hang around (64 percent).
"We're reaching a real turning point in technology's history where there's no need for devices we've relied on for decades," Mozar said. "Many of today's students never touch a pencil - they take class notes on laptops and tablets. But as the Gadget Graveyard results verify, the 'old-fashioned' way is still the best way to get some things done." Other paper-based items, including printers (81 percent) and printed money (74 percent), also topped the list of gadgets least likely to die out in 2013.

The Privileged Poacher on the Police Payroll
by William Norman Grigg
Frank G. Bowne (pictured center) is a hunter by profession. Bowne is a K9 handler and SWAT operator with the Post Falls, Idaho Police Department.
He and his canine companion, a German Shepherd named Koda
, occasionally pursue criminal suspects. More frequently they can be found in pursuit of cash and other property that can be seized through "asset forfeiture" as part of the demented exercise called the War on Drugs.
Law enforcement agencies have found this practice to be
very lucrative
in sparsely populated northern Idaho. Since
the agencies conducting those seizures don't have to prove that the property owner committed a crime
– or even provide a full accounting of their haul – the practice could be considered a form of state-sanctioned
Post Falls is
a very small town in northern Idaho
with an unremarkable crime rate. Yet local police and sheriff's office have two full-time K9 units, and will soon have a third. This means job security for Bowne, whose background should have disqualified him for employment as a "peace officer." Before being hired by the Post Falls PD as a government-licensed poacher, he was terminated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office
after being found guilty of poaching -- of the private variety -- in Colorado
In October 2003, several residents of
Bayfield, Colorado
, a village not far from the
Four Corners
region, heard gunshots near a local ranch. When they went to investigate they found three men lounging by a truck with California license plates. The men took off after the residents said they were going to ask authorities to investigate a suspected act of trespass and poaching.
Colorado Division of Wildlife investigator Cary Carron arrived the following morning and found a dead deer on private property bordering a county road. The animal had been killed after dark by a shooter who had used a spotlight. In the company of several other officers, Carron tracked down the vehicle at a hunting camp near
Sauls Creek
. Bowne was among the ten hunters who were questioned by the investigators, and like all of his colleagues he insisted that he knew nothing about the killing of the deer the previous night.
The pickup truck was seized, and investigators collected sufficient forensic evidence (such as boot and tire tracks, and spent shell casings) and witness statements to identify Bowne as the shooter. In
his official investigative report
, Carron described how Bowne lied to him, lied to Officer Mike Stefanak of California's Fish and Game Department, and obstructed the inquiry conducted by Lt. Rick Jennings, an internal affairs investigator with the LA County Sheriff's Office.
a felony arrest warrant
was issued for Bowne, the deputy
agreed to a deal
in which he pleaded guilty to an "illegal take" of a deer. He paid $4,199 in fines and court costs, and was fired by the LA County Sheriff's Office.
Bowne lost his job in May 2004. Like other disgraced California police officers before him, he followed the "gypsy cop" ratline to Idaho, where he was able to get a job a little more than two years later.
According to the Idaho POST Council
, Bowne received his "
basic" certification in June 2006
. In order for this to happen, Bowne either concealed his background, the POST Council failed to conduct a rudimentary background check, or both parties simply ignored the legally binding standards governing peace officer certification in Idaho.
The POST Council
is instructed
to de-certify any police officer who has committed any felony or misdemeanor, or who "Willfully or otherwise falsifies or omits any information to obtain any certified status." If Bowne's poaching offenses were made known to the Council, he wouldn't have been certified. If he withheld information about that offense – and his deceitful behavior in trying to cover up that crime – he should be immediately de-certified.
"I were in charge of that decision, [Bowne] never would have been allowed to go to POST in Idaho," a former sheriff's deputy and police officer told me after I provided the details of the case to him. "He lied about things that should have kept him from being an officer again… If he lied once he will do it again. Like if you are an officer and go to court to testify and you lie, the judge can never trust anything you say from that point."
Another retired deputy (who has also worked in the state probation and parole system) ruefully told me that he wasn't surprised that POST cleared Bowne despite his background.
"He could have received a waiver from POST, but his employer would have to vouch for him," the former deputy suggested. "Unfortunately POST won't tell you if a special panel did review his case."
That prediction was quickly vindicated. When I filed a public records request to find out if POST had granted Bowne a special waiver,
the agency denied that request
, insisting that it was
exempt from disclosure as a "personnel" matter
Under a strict and rational application of the law, Frank G. Bowne was never legitimately certified as a peace officer in the State of Idaho. That means he is engaged in what the state code (18-1711) refers to as "Unlawful exercise of [the] functions of peace officers,"
a felony punishable by up to five years in prison
However, as is so often the case in the racket called "law enforcement," Bowne and those who protect him assume that they are exempt from the laws they supposedly uphold.
"It's a possibility that Bowne got his certification because he knows someone of importance in Post Falls or elsewhere in Idaho," commented the second former deputy. "The fact that he lied to the LA investigators and hindered the investigation -- and yet was apparently given a waiver in Idaho -- tells me he knows someone."
"I can tell from first-hand experience" that such corrupt "professional courtesy" is commonplace, he continued. "I have seen a Sheriff who wouldn't keep an officer on unless he or she would lie to keep their job. An officer who will lie to keep his or her job will be invaluable to a dishonest official."
During the now-notorious hunting trip to Colorado, Bowne saw nothing amiss in trespassing on posted private property. That is a habit of mind he has retained as a police officer in Post Falls.
As I noted here recently
, Bowne and his partner, Officer Frank Uhrig, invaded the home of Melissa Ward in a warrantless midnight raid in December 2011.
Ignoring a lawful order by Ward to stay out of her house,
the officers assaulted the woman in front of her terrified daughter
, then carried out an illegal search of the dwelling after claiming to smell marijuana. At a hearing several months later the judge acknowledged that the search was illegal and dismissed drug-related charges that had been filed against Ward and her boyfriend.
Two years earlier, Bowne was named
in a tort claim filed by Post Falls resident Lori Denise Howard
, which accused him of committing "an illegal trespass" on her property and subjecting her to "an illegal arrest" involving "excessive force and violence."
Howard wasn't able to pursue that claim: Charged with the spurious crime of "resisting arrest," she was quickly processed into the Sisyphean hell called the probation and parole system.
Meanwhile, Bowne – who, unlike Howard, has repeatedly done violence to the persons and property of others -- continues to make a comfortable living as a privileged poacher in the employ of the Post Falls Police Department.

I have no respect for law enforcement in the USA. Liars, thugs, and cowards seem to be the qualifications most sought after by recruiting police agencies these days. Every single day there is another video of a homeless person being beaten to death, of an innocent pet being shot, or of a bystander or suspect being murdered by law enforcement. Disgusting. I am so glad I do not live in that country.

Taxable bond funds had $3.15 billion in net sales for the week, bringing their year-to-date total to $162.2 billion—which would be their third highest annual total, with over four months still remaining in the year. Municipal debt funds took in an estimated $450 million for the week, and they are now enjoying their highest AUM ever at nearly $563 billion. Money market funds saw $1.90 billion in net flows in a quiet week for them.

|Placental apoptosis in discordant twins.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11969344 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To investigate placental apoptosis in discordant dichorial twins. METHODS: Placental samples were obtained from 7 third-trimester suitable twins. Discordancy was defined as a >25 per cent difference in newborn birth weight. Light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained paraffin slides and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labelling (TUNEL) methods were used to confirm the incidence of apoptosis. Investigators were blinded to pregnancy outcome. RESULTS: Both methods revealed that the incidence of apoptosis in the placentas of the smaller fetuses was significantly higher than in placentas of the larger fetuses. The incidence of TUNEL-positive cells in the former was 1.4+/-0.26 per cent: this was significantly higher than the incidence of apoptosis in the placental specimens of the latter (0.9+/-0.07 per cent, P< 0.02 Wilcoxon rank test). The same results were obtained with H&E: the incidence of apoptosis detected in placentas from the former was 1.07+/-0.1 per cent compared to 0.72+/-0.08 per cent in those of the latter (P< 0.02 Wilcoxon rank test). CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar environment conditions, placental apoptosis is increased in the smaller fetus and thus might play a role in discordancy between twins. Since increased placental apoptosis has also been found in singleton intrauterine growth restriction, this supports the hypothesis that the smaller twin is selectively growth restricted.
