CLEVELAND -- A judge has denied Ariel Castro's request to be allowed to see Amanda Berry's 6-year-old daughter while he is in jail awaiting trial on 329 counts of kidnapping, rape and aggravated murder.
The child was fathered by Castro and born to Berry during the time that prosecutors say she was held captive in Castro's Seymour Avenue home.
There is a no-contact order in effect between Castro and the child and Judge Michael Russo flatly refused to reconsider that order when Castro made the visitation request during this morning's pre-trial hearing.
"I just don't think that would be appropriate," said Judge Russo.
The court is considering whether Castro's other adult children can be allowed to visit him in jail.
Currently, Castro has privileges call only his mother and sister. The calls will be monitored by an officer.
During the pre-trial hearing Wednesday morning, it was also determined that, based on a court-ordered evaluation, that Castro is mentally competent to stand trial and aid his lawyers in his legal defense.
The report has been sealed.
As in his previous court appearances, Castro, handcuffed and shackled, kept his head down and his eyes averted during the proceeding.
Castro has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment. More charges are likely to follow. The current indictment covers the period from 2002 to 2007.
Authorities accuse the 52-year-old Castro of kidnapping the women between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old.
Castro was arrested after Berry escaped the Seymour Avenue house on May 6, leading police to rescue her and her daughter, as well as Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.
Castro is being held on an $8 million bond. His lawyers have raised the possibility of a plea deal if the death penalty is taken off the table.
The aggravated murder charge against Castro -- for the alleged forced termination of one of the women's pregnancies -- carries the possibility of a death sentence.
The prosecutor's capital review committee is expected to meet next week to determine whether to seek the death penalty.
Castro's lawyers have been asked to attend to present mitigating evidence on his behalf.
Judge Russo says he is going forward with an August 5 trial date but says it can be delayed.
The next pre-trial is scheduled for July 24 a 8:45 a.m.

Helpful Definition for: Lawyers - Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Most people, in Hiram, who have developed mesothelioma have worked within industries which involved inhaling asbestos and construction particles, or were otherwise exposed to asbestos dust such as workers who helped in the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
Mesothelioma usually develops years after actual exposure. Victims are commonly diagnosed with mesothelioma when they show damage to the peritoneal lining of the lungs or abdomen. Asbestos was used in the United States from early 1930 to mid 1970. More than 733,000 buildings in the United States, including a good number of those within the borders of Georgia, are said to still contain asbestos.
Mesothelioma litigation is widespread throughout the Unites States due to large financial settlements, as well as the obvious liability and personal injury involved. Court actions are common in which victims seek compensation for his or her expenses. Lawyers within Hiram, Georgia fight specifically for the rights of those effected from this disease.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Los Angeles County judge has overturned a nearly $10,000 small-claims judgment against American Honda Motor Co. that was won by a car owner who said the automaker misrepresented the gas mileage of her hybrid Civic.
Superior Court Judge Dudley W. Gray's ruling released Wednesday found that most owners of that type of car achieve fuel economy close to federal EPA estimates.
A court commissioner had previously ruled in favor of Civic owner Heather Peters, awarding her $9,867.
Peters opted out of a class-action settlement giving some 200,000 owners between $100 and $200 each, plus a rebate if they buy a new Honda, electing instead to sue the automaker on her own.

Justices of the Court
Acting Presiding Justice Peter Tom
Acting Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department
Supreme Court of the State of New York
Justice Peter Tom holds a number of judicial "firsts" for an Asian American. After graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1975, he practiced briefly at private law firms before embarking on a long and distinguished career in the judiciary. In 1976, he joined the Civil Court of the City of New York as a Law Clerk, working on a wide variety of criminal and civil assignments and, in 1985, he became the first Asian American appointed to the Housing Part of the Civil Court. In 1988, Justice Tom was assigned to preside over the Narcotics Eviction Part, a Special Part that was established as a result of his landmark decision in Kellner v. Cappellini (135 Misc. 2d 759 [1986]), in which he utilized the 100-year old "Bawdy House Statute" to evict drug dealers from real property. Employing this novel decision, the City of New York implemented a city-wide program, which used the statute to expeditiously evict drug dealers from residential and commercial properties.
In 1988, Justice Tom was one of the first Asian Americans to be elected to the Civil Court and to win a county-wide election in New York City. In 1990, he became the first Asian American elected to the New York State Supreme Court from New York County, and in 1994, he became the first Asian American appointed by the Governor to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. He remains the only Asian American to sit on an appellate court in this State. In addition to the Kellner decision, over 250 legal opinions by Justice Tom have been published, many of which involved innovative rulings and received widespread media coverage.
Justice Tom is active in the community and has received numerous awards, notably the Trailblazer Award from the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (2004), the Ellis Island Medal of Honor (1993), and the Asian American For Equality Leadership Award (1991), as well as several awards from the New York County Lawyers Association, the Asian American Bar Association of New York, and Brooklyn Law School.
Justice Tom is also the first Asian American to win the New York City Golden Gloves Boxing Championship.

Plot Synopsis
Beck and Cutler are thrown into the game arena and have to fight each other to the death for freedom. Together they plot to throw the fight, denying General Tessler a spectacle that would see one of them derezzed. When Cutler forfeits, Tessler announces that Beck will go free while Cutler will be derezzed at Argon Square. Beck is released while Cutler is taken away and drops his veteran armband. He tells Beck to find Tron, join him and don't stop fighting.
Beck then returns to Tron's hideout and reports on his failure. Tron tells Beck that since Cutler has until the next cycle then he hasn't failed yet. Beck agrees and heads off into Argon City.
Once in the city, Beck jumps on to the recognizer holding Cutler and hijacks it. Pavel notices and orders the recognizer be shot down. Damaged from the resulting attack, the recognizer fails and crashes into a building, coming to a rest at the edge of its roof. Beck and Cutler bring the guards out just before the remains of the recognizer topple from the building.
They make it to an area with light jet turbines where they are then intercepted by Paige. Cutler throws his disc but hits the controls of a turbine instead of Paige. She is surprised when what she thought was a missed attack actually activates the turbines and blows her clear.
Beck and Cutler escape to the docks and decide to use a speed boat to get out of the city, but Paige arrives and engages them in battle. After the battle Paige is tired and holds them at bay until Perl and her gang accidentally collide with her on their light cycles, allowing Beck and Cutler to escape. Angered by the intrusion, Paige arrests Perl and her gang.
Beck and Cutler board a light boat but are then pursued by Tessler's larger speed boat. The duo's light boat gets hit on the side while Pavel arrives in a light boat and slams into them. This causes both boats to get stuck to one another. Beck fends off Pavel and knocks him into the water, then starts hitting the connection of the boats before they can be shot by Tessler, but finds that he can't do enough damage to break the connection.
Then an underwater speedboat jumps out of the water and uses its light ribbon to separate the entangled boats. The new speed boat is revealed to be piloted by Tron. Once at a dock Beck tells Cutler that he should get going. Cutler pledges his support for the coming revolution, then the pair exchange their goodbyes and part company.
Beck returns to the hideout and is asked by Tron if he came to continue the fight or quit. Beck acknowledges that there will be setbacks, but its okay as long as they keep fighting. Beck asks what happens next. Tron tells him that they will continue training. "Like I said, you've got a lot to learn".

Surely there's a chance. If we're both undefeated into the game, then it just might be a game of 2 ranked teams. Add in the CPR factor, especially after beating Texas last year, and it's a game that the broadcasters can really sink their teeth into.
I know people have done this before, so it's not fresh, but the Big 12 schedule that week isn't filled with big games:
Texas Tech @ Kansas
Baylor @ Kansas State
Ball State @ Oklahoma
Arkansas @ aggies
Texas @ Iowa State
Those last two games look potentially to be the biggest. Those ought to be the two biggest TV games, in my estimation.
So there's a chance.
Kind of what I thought. Considering last year, and then the potential as you said to be undefeated going into it this year, I was hoping for a night game. Also, have other obligations during the day that may prevent me from going if it's the 11:00 or 2:00 start times that always seem to happen.
So then I have to decided, go to the Texas game or the Texas A&M game...

The Carolina Field of Honor will be a place of remembrance and honor for all who have served our great nation in the Armed Forces. It will be a permanent reminder of the sacrifice of our service members, a place to reflect on the freedoms they have secured, and a community's collective way of showing its heartfelt gratitude.
On Saturday, May 31, 2014, a public dedication ceremony for the Carolina Field of Honor was held at Triad Park located at 9652 West Market Street, Kernersville, NC. State and local elected officials, high ranking military dignitaries and local news personalities participated in the official program. The Master of Ceremonies included Brad Jones of Fox 8 WGHP and Cameron Kent of WXII 12 News. Remarks were also made by NC Governor Pat McCrory. The Piedmont Wind Symphony, under the direction of Robert Simon, performed the National Anthem and patriotic musical selections during the program. Every military branch was recognized at the dedication ceremony and memorial wreaths were placed at the monument site to represent each military branch: U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Air Force. Randolph County Honor Guard and Jamestown Pipes and Drums were responsible for the Presentation of Colors.
Funding for the Carolina Field of Honor was made possible by the War Memorial Foundation. The War Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization with the sole mission of raising funds to preserve the history of the veterans that have served this great Nation and work with the community in preserving the past, present, and future of the Armed Forces legacy. These funds will go to the building or renovations of War Memorial parks, monuments and facilities. Forsyth and Guilford County are honored to have Triad Park as the host site for the Carolina Field of Honor. Gratitude and appreciation are expressed to the Founder of the War Memorial Foundation, William (Bill) B. Moss, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, for his vision of the veteran's memorial and perseverance in following his dream. Special thanks is also given to the entire War Memorial Foundation Board of Directors and the Dedication Planning Committee. The program concluded with the Board of Directors presenting keys to Forsyth County Commissioner Dave Plyler and Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis as a symbolic way to hand over the inheritance of the Carolina Field of Honor.

This is an excuse, not a justification. Something being there is not inherent justification for its use, hence why police aren't allowed to shoot unarmed suspects. Try thinking of real reasoning in your next response please, not just excuses. For example: if your opponent plays one first, it's fine to then use yours as well as long as you never activate it against players who don't open that door themselves first. If you're fine with that one, I'll let you use it. Although, it would be ideal to not stoop to their level, this reason is at least acceptable.
When it's a no-holds-barred prearranged fight, and there's sand sitting on the ground, no one can use it.
Just because the chair my opponent holds strikes harder than my fist, he can't use it. If he does, I'll run around for 5 minutes because he deserves to be irritated.

MIAMI (AP) - A fund has been set up to help the victim of the face-chewing attack in Miami.
Jackson Memorial Foundation announced Thursday that is has opened a fund to assist 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Donations can be made online. Checks can also be sent to the foundation.
Surveillance video shows Poppo being attacked Saturday afternoon by 31-year-old Rudy Eugene. A police officer shot and killed Eugene, who bit into Poppo's face in broad daylight alongside a busy highway. Police have not released a motive for the attack on Poppo, who had been homeless for decades.
Experts on facial reconstruction say Poppo faces a lengthy recovery, including months of treatment to rebuild his features. He remains hospitalized.

Free and open to the public
Hours: Daily, 9 a.m.-7:30 p.m.
CCA's Architecture Program is pleased to re-present 10 x 10 Cities: Green Facts, Challenges, Future on the college's San Francisco campus.
The show was previously presented at San Francisco's 3A Gallery in April 2009, to coincide with the AIA national convention in San Francisco. It is a product of a partnership among CCA Architecture, the American Institute of Architects San Francisco Chapter (AIA San Francisco), HOK, and Matarozzi/Pelsinger Builders. It uses metrics and analyses to measure sustainable city-planning practices and environments of 10 cities across North America: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, New Orleans, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Toronto, and Washington DC.
The intention of 10 x 10 Cities is to expand and advance conversations about sustainability through a process that actively encourages architects, designers, and citizens to take the positive and immediate steps necessary to mitigate the impact of our everyday behaviors and to engage critically in ameliorating urban contributions to climate change.

Focused ultrasound surgery is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids — noncancerous growths of the uterus. A pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is typically performed before treatment to determine whether you're a good candidate for focused ultrasound surgery.
Focused ultrasound surgery — also called magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery or focused ultrasound ablation — is performed while you're inside an MRI scanner equipped with a high-energy ultrasound transducer for treatment.
The images give your doctor the precise location of the uterine fibroids and the locations of nearby structures to be avoided, such as the bowel and bladder. While the MRI monitors the targeted fibroid and surrounding structures, the ultrasound transducer focuses sound waves into the fibroid to heat and destroy small areas of fibroid tissue.
Not widely available, focused ultrasound surgery typically is done at specialized clinics.
Focused ultrasound surgery:
Although focused ultrasound surgery offers many advantages over other fibroid treatment options, it's not the best option for everyone. It may not be a good choice for you if:
A number of women have had successful pregnancies after treatment. However, long-term effects on a woman's ability to become pregnant and carry a baby to term have not been studied adequately yet.
Rarely, focused ultrasound surgery may result in:
Other drawbacks specific to focused ultrasound surgery include:
As with many other fibroid treatments, when you have focused ultrasound surgery:
An MRI uses a magnetic field to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. Metal objects on — or in — your body may interfere with the magnetic field used during the exam, affecting the quality of the MRI and possibly causing a safety problem. The magnetic field may also damage electronic items.
Focused ultrasound surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in an MRI scanning room. The day of treatment you'll need to shave your lower abdomen between your pubic bone and bellybutton.
Shortly before the procedure begins, you'll:
During your treatment, MRI allows doctors to evaluate the effects and define areas that need additional treatment.
Treatment time varies, depending on the size and number of fibroids you have. Here's the procedure.
You'll need a friend or family member to be with you and drive you to and from your treatment due to the medications you receive during treatment.
When you get home, you can resume your normal daily activities. Usually you'll need only over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), for discomfort.
Your body gradually and naturally absorbs the treated tissue over months and even years. This means that an ultrasound may show the fibroid still there. However, an MRI shows that the fibroid has been treated, and your symptoms reflect that improvement.
The majority of women experience significant improvement in the severity of their fibroid-related symptoms within the first six months after focused ultrasound surgery. Most researchers report that women continue to have symptom relief after three years of follow-up.

text: Policing the Facebook extremists Facebook 06 October 09 by CJ Davies Flickr CC: Brent Nelson, the half-blood prince This article was taken from the November issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineEvery time I see the news," the posting reads, "I want to throw the TV out of the window. I see criminal filth like paedophiles getting soft sentences and middle-class liberal whiners defending their 'rights'. Does anyone actually think the law counts for anything any more? The police seem far too busy catching speeding motorists rather than dealing with the real criminals. Has anyone ever been so mad that they considered taking things into their own hands and fighting the criminal scum themselves?"The above dispatch is entirely fictional - or rather, these are the words of a fictional identity placed on Facebook by wired. The list of replies it receives, however, is entirely genuine (in all their raw obscenity). "You ain't alone," one reads. "Many I know feel the same, it's just criminal that the average law-abiding mug has to take the flak whilst the scumbags get away scot-free." Another reply rants that "the law is wrong and it benefits bad people in every walk of life. It's a joke." The commenter suggests visiting a London mosque in order to "drag the horrible cunts in my van and leave the rest to the imagination. But I couldn't. Guess why? The fucking so-called police have got them under guard." Both responses came from a group entitled "Vote BNP To Stop Britain Going Down The Pan". They have since been deleted; it's unclear whether this was done by Facebook or the moderators of this group."Why do they consider it a crime to 'take the law into one's own hands'?" bemoans another reply in a group named "Vigilante" (sub-heading: "Declare War On Paedophiles"). Below that, on the messageboard, intentions are spelled out in clearer terms. "One vigilante is better than 20 cops," says a commentator from Leeds. Someone else recounts that he has "just been described by a probation officer as a vigilante, ie: taking the law into one's own hands". He concludes by arguing that the best way to deal with sex offenders is to "free up space and money and kill them all". At the time of writing, all of this content remains live on the site. Last November, thousands of UK Facebook users signed up to groups such as "Death is too good for Tracey connelly, torture the bitch that killed baby P" [sic] and "Baby P Killers should be hanged Drawn and Quartered". The identities of those involved in the Baby P case - Tracey Connelly, her partner Steven Barker and Barker's brother, Jason Owen - were placed online for all to see, despite a court order that insisted on preserving their anonymity during their trial. Although the groups were not closed down, Facebook was quick to remove any details in breach of the law. The latter group is still running, with the mission statement of "setting up a campaign to bring capital punishment back into the UK for Child Murders [sic] and serious paedophiles where guilt is absolute"."Initially we did have a big problem with people looking up the names of the murderers and then posting the details on to the group," explains Adam Yates, founder of "Baby P Killers should be hanged Drawn and Quartered". He claims he "didn't support the names being published because of legal reasons. But now they have been found guilty, I don't see a problem with it. I must say, Facebook didn't contact me at all about the group. As I understand it, I was not breaking any rules as I was not inciting hatred. The group is called 'Baby P Killers should be hanged Drawn and Quartered'. This is an opinion and is not telling anyone to go and commit a crime."Pitchfork-wielding mobs have yet to take over the UK, but it's clear that a proclivity for impassioned responses to emotive issues can be intensified via social media. Christine Hine, the editor of Virtual Methods: Issues in Social Research on the Internet, says: "If there is such an issue to respond to, people become aware of it very quickly. Crucially, this can bypass the usual controls over media content, so although mass media may be constrained from covering a particular topic or naming names, the internet can easily spread this information."It's not that the internet creates new social movements," Hine continues, "but it has provided opportunities for people to react to social issues of all kinds in new and creative ways. Some of those will be troubling, because they seem to evade existing structures of control and regulation." She has observed noticeable parallels between "direct action" behaviour and the rise of an increasingly interactive internet. "Back in the late 90s," Hine recalls, "I studied the use of the internet in the case of Louise Woodward [the teenage British nanny jailed in Boston after the child in her care died in unexplained circumstances]. These were the relatively early days of the web, when there were no blogs and people were laboriously crafting single web pages. I found websites created by individuals who said they had been moved by the television coverage of the case and felt they had to 'do something' - and for this set of individuals, creating a web page counted as doing something. It showed a growing trend for people to see the internet as a site of social action."As impassioned as online responses can be, actual violent direct action has never been a particular concern to UK authorities - unlike in other countries. Atreyee Sen, at the University of Manchester, has analysed vigilantism in developing nations. "The internet has had a huge impact on the nature and dynamics of contemporary vigilantism," she says. "Securing funding and financial transfers via the internet is relatively easy, and it diminishes the hazard of middlemen between illegal vigilante groups and their sponsors. This sustains vigilante activities in most parts of the world."Alison Cavanagh, the author of Sociology In The Age Of the Internet, says: "Vigilantism is something of a value term. It should be understood in context, rather as one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter." She, too, sees little reason to fear physical mass violence stemming from online threats originating in Britain: "The UK has a fine tradition of moral panic, but this has not often taken the form of mass action." But where there is online endorsement of vigilantism, it usually emerges from the extreme far-right. Paul Bocij, author of The Dark Side of the Internet, agrees. "I've certainly found a tendency towards right-wing views," he says. "A great deal of harassment, for instance, is targeted against gay people and against ethnic minorities. In the UK, we recently had some low-level cyber-stalking targeted at BNP members - though we've also had Combat 18 and others in the past."Redwatch was originally a neo-Nazi magazine which made its way on to the internet in 2001, thanks to former BNP member Simon Sheppard. With prominent links to Combat 18 (as well as other UK extremist stalwarts such as Blood & Honour, Aryan Unity and the British People's Party), it is now hosted in the US to avoid British law. Redwatch lists the addresses and other personal details of left-wing or antifascist activists, and even mainstream political figures. Many of its targets have found themselves subject to death threats, and at least one car has been firebombed after its owner's details were published.The Redwatch site is laid out like an amateur Geocities home page from the mid-90s (to much ridicule and trolling by the likes of b3ta). Of a similarly amateurish slant is Navigor (the National Vigilante Organisation), created in 2006 by BNP member Albert Hurwood. This unequivocally supports vigilantism, arguing that "the death penalty is the only answer to feral scum". In a world of user-friendly social-networking sites, anyone can easily adapt an online template to create their own little corner of cyberspace. So the "I Like Beer" group has the same default layout as "Kill The Local Rapist" (both genuine) - giving even internet novices a simple way of getting an extremist message across.

A legislative panel is reviewing a half-dozen bills aimed at tweaking Maine's medicinal marijuana law, which now governs how the drug is prescribed and distributed to about 10,000 Mainers. One bill sets new fees for medical marijuana dispensaries. Another would increase the allowed number of dispensaries from the current limit of 8. And one proposal would essentially permit a doctor to prescribe marijuana for almost any ailment. A.J. Higgins has more.
After sustaining a back injury in 2006, Corey Belcher had every intention of following his doctor's orders that included prescriptions for oxycontin, fentenyl and an array of other pain killers. But Belcher says the combination would make it hard for him to stay awake behind his steering wheel on the drive home to Bristol. Finally, Belcher says he was able to get a prescription for medicinal marijuana. And he says it changed his life.
"Now for 16 months, I haven't had a single pill, patch or anything," Belcher said. "It's all been thankful to medical marijuana, my caregivers who have looked out for me. It's medicine. It's given me life back. It's given me my family back."
Belcher's endorsement of marijuana as a medical wonder drug was a common theme during a public hearing on several medicinal pot bills before the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee. And many of those speaking to lawmakers heavily favored a bill that adds a whole new range of medical conditions that would qualify for treatment with medical marijuana.
Sponsored by Rep. Elizabeth Dickerson, a Rockland Democrat, the bill states simply that in addition to post-traumatic stress disorder, opiate or pharmaceutical drug addiction and recovery, any other medical condition as determined by a physician would qualify for a patient for a medicinal marijuana prescription.
Tim Smale, of the Remedy Compassion Center in Auburn, says there are currently fewer than 10 conditions for which doctors in Maine can prescribe marijuana.
"Maine is a very, very restrictive state in terms of its conditions," Smale said. "It's the most restrictive state, as a matter of fact, of all the medical marijuana states. And what we find is that medical marijuana is very helpful in other conditions, and this is borne out by medical science. So we're not really introducing anything new here, we're just learning from those other states that have those conditions that are able to help people."
Dr. Dustin Sulak, an osteopathic physician and medical director for two practices in Manchester and Falmouth, told committee members that he has watched patients who had not responded to other drugs begin to thrive while being treated with marijuana.
"We see substantial improvements in our patients using cannabis," Sulak said. "Every day my colleagues and I see results that are uncommon in typical conventional medical practices. We see the toughest cases that have been refractery to other treatments getting better with an herb that is much safer than those other treatments."
But representatives of Maine's medical and licensing establishment do not share those views. Jessa Barnard represents the Maine Medical Association.
"Our members have stated that the current list of conditions already covers the vast majority of cases where evidence supports the use," Barnard said. "In fact, many of them feel that the list may even be too broad, and they chose for diverse reasons not to recommend the use of marijuana to patients."
Barnard joined Kenneth Albert, director of licensing and regulatory services at the state Department of Health and Human Services in opposing the expansion of prescribed conditions for medical marijuana. Albert testified that the bill would essentially render meaningless the list of conditions under current law.
That also troubles Barnard, who says many Maine physicians worry that the changes amount to approving the de facto use of the drug for recreational purposes.
"They're concerned especially under section 1G of the bill, allowing marijuana to be used for any other medical condition or its treatment as determined by a physician, will open the floodgates of patients seeking physicians to sign off on marijuana use for recreational purposes," Barnard said.
As Barnard was discussing the bill with lawmakers, another measure to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes use was rejected 8-3 by the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

Lovegood was the surname of a wizarding family. They lived in a house near Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England, and thus close to the Weasley, Fawcett, and Diggory families. It is unknown if they were pure-blood or had Muggle as well as wizarding heritage.
The Lovegoods were generally regarded as unusual by mainstream society, as they tended to hold and espouse belief in things most others do not believe in, often published in the family magazine, The Quibbler. The Lovegoods are related by marriage to the Scamander family, as Luna Lovegood married Rolf Scamander and had two children, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.
Lovegood Family Tree
Xenophilius Lovegood------Mrs. Lovegood | (d. 1990) | (Scamander family) | | | | Luna Lovegood-------------Rolf Scamander (b. 1981) | | ---------------------- | | Lorcan Scamander Lysander Scamander
Lovegood is a compound word and a real English surname.
Behind the scenes
- In the films, the Lovegoods appear to be Irish. This is largely due to the fact that Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna, is Irish. Xenophilius, played by Welsh actor Rhys Ifans, also has an Irish accent.
- The Lovegoods are also mentioned to be at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
Notes and references
- ↑ Both Xenophilius Lovegood and his wife were magical, their daughter was allowed to attend Hogwarts during the 1997-98 school year, and Xenophilius was not rounded up with other Muggle-borns.

He discovered acting as a teenager and performed in local theater before earning a BFA in the craft from Southern Methodist University in 1980. A master's degree from Yale University soon followed, as did regular work on and Off-Broadway, beginning with 1986's "Not About Her s" which earned him an Obie Award. That same year, Baker made his television debut as Richard Crenna's lawyer son in "A Case of Deadly Force" (CBS, 1986); a year later, he was a memorably crass, sinus-troubled hillbilly who reluctantly offers a ride to stranded travel...

49 U.S. Code § 60105 - State pipeline safety program certifications
prev | next
(a) General Requirements and Submission.— Except as provided in this section and sections 60114 and 60121 of this title, the Secretary of Transportation may not prescribe or enforce safety standards and practices for an intrastate pipeline facility or intrastate pipeline transportation to the extent that the safety standards and practices are regulated by a State authority (including a municipality if the standards and practices apply to intrastate gas pipeline transportation) that submits to the Secretary annually a certification for the facilities and transportation that complies with subsections (b) and (c) of this section.
(b) Contents.— Each certification submitted under subsection (a) of this section shall state that the State authority—
(1) has regulatory jurisdiction over the standards and practices to which the certification applies;
(2) has adopted, by the date of certification, each applicable standard prescribed under this chapter or, if a standard under this chapter was prescribed not later than 120 days before certification, is taking steps to adopt that standard;
(3) is enforcing each adopted standard through ways that include inspections conducted by State employees meeting the qualifications the Secretary prescribes under section 60107 (d)(1)(C) of this title;
(4) is encouraging and promoting the establishment of a program designed to prevent damage by demolition, excavation, tunneling, or construction activity to the pipeline facilities to which the certification applies that subjects persons who violate the applicable requirements of that program to civil penalties and other enforcement actions that are substantially the same as are provided under this chapter, and addresses the elements in section 60134 (b);
(5) may require record maintenance, reporting, and inspection substantially the same as provided under section 60117 of this title;
(6) may require that plans for inspection and maintenance under section 60108 (a) and (b) of this title be filed for approval; and
(c) Reports.—
(1) Each certification submitted under subsection (a) of this section shall include a report that contains—
(A) the name and address of each person to whom the certification applies that is subject to the safety jurisdiction of the State authority;
(B) each accident or incident reported during the prior 12 months by that person involving a fatality, personal injury requiring hospitalization, or property damage or loss of more than an amount the Secretary establishes (even if the person sustaining the fatality, personal injury, or property damage or loss is not subject to the safety jurisdiction of the authority), any other accident the authority considers significant, and a summary of the investigation by the authority of the cause and circumstances surrounding the accident or incident;
(C) the record maintenance, reporting, and inspection practices conducted by the authority to enforce compliance with safety standards prescribed under this chapter to which the certification applies, including the number of inspections of pipeline facilities the authority made during the prior 12 months; and
(d) Application.— A certification in effect under this section does not apply to safety standards prescribed under this chapter after the date of certification. This chapter applies to each applicable safety standard prescribed after the date of certification until the State authority adopts the standard and submits the appropriate certification to the Secretary under subsection (a) of this section.
(e) Monitoring.— The Secretary may monitor a safety program established under this section to ensure that the program complies with the certification. A State authority shall cooperate with the Secretary under this subsection.
(f) Rejections of Certification.— If after receiving a certification the Secretary decides the State authority is not enforcing satisfactorily compliance with applicable safety standards prescribed under this chapter, the Secretary may reject the certification, assert United States Government jurisdiction, or take other appropriate action to achieve adequate enforcement. The Secretary shall give the authority notice and an opportunity for a hearing before taking final action under this subsection. When notice is given, the burden of proof is on the authority to demonstrate that it is enforcing satisfactorily compliance with the prescribed standards.

The "A–B Combo" (エービーコンビ, Ē Bī Konbi), renowned as the "Strongest Tag-Team" (最強タッグ, Saikyō Taggu),[1] is a sibling team from Kumogakure. It consists of A — the son of the Third Raikage and Killer B — who is recognised as A's brother, after he successfully beheaded a training dummy during a selection process.[2]
Their signature technique, the Double Lariat, is well known and feared greatly outside of Kumogakure.[3] The two brothers spent many years perfecting their technique and even perfected it to the point where A and B could use this technique clad in Lightning Release Armour and the tailed beast cloak respectively to increase the technique's already devastating effects.[4] This team was effectively disbanded after the Third died and A took up office as the Fourth, confining his brother to the village out of fear of losing him as well.[5]

Bling it on: 12 of the weirdest bedazzled products
When Kipp heard of the rather popular 24 karat gold facial, we'll have to admit were just a tad taken a back.But then again... have you heard about the diamond contact lenses? What about the diamond-studded humidifier? These are just some of the items that'll either make your eyes twinkle or your eyebrow raise.
October 30, 2011 3:32 by Eva Fernandes
OK, we'll admit that the 24 Karat Gold facial makes its rich customers looking yellow Iron Men in their own rights, but as this video shows it is now becoming a particularly famous trend.
<iframe width="200" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mp5nGPBnmUU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So what else keeps the gold facial company? We present to you, 11 other strange bedazzled products on sale.
If the test of how 'bling' bling can get is just how unusual the blinged up object is, than this air purifier wins hands down. Who would have ever thought there would be a need for a 20,000-Swarovski-crystals-studded Al Muntaha air purifier? Ah, but there is. Currently the purifier is on display at Galeries Lafayette in Dubai Mall. And though Dh32,000 may seem a bit of an extravagance, for the more sober connoisseur of air purifiers, the range also includes a Dh4,999 model with scattered crystals and a Dh4,500 purifier with only an outline of crystals. Mihir Patel, the chief executive of Amancorp, the regional distributor of Airfree says: "Premium products sell in Dubai and we have had interest from people considering buying our limited edition purifiers. We've had interest from Sheikhs and wealthy people in other countries who want something that is unique and different."
Remember the most expensive Christmas tree that was on display in Emirates Palace last Christmas? The $11-million Christmas tree owed much of its value to the 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, and sapphires that adorned the tree: the jewels were provided by Style Gallery solely for the purpose of the exhibition. The tree drew a lot of negative attention, and a day after Christmas, Emirates Palace released a statement saying it regretted "attempts to overload the tradition followed by most hotels in the country with meanings and connotations that do not fall in line with the (hotel's) professional standards."
OK, so this one isn't quite available in the UAE just yet, but the concept was just so ridiculous we thought it was worth mention. Flip flops, you know the epitome of causal foot ware, have gotten a face lift with the new Snake Charmer flip-flops which have 24 round, full-cut, high quality diamonds. Yours for only $20,000.
Remember that song, Diamonds at the Soles of Her Shoes? Well, if you thought that was mere hyberbole one manicurist in London might help render some perspective to the tune. Cherish…ME has made headlines for their trademark Iced Manicure—yes it is a manicure which involves carefully setting diamonds on one's fingernails. Unsurprisingly, London-based Cherish…ME also does provide a special home service to clients in Dubai ever since March of this year, when Cherish…ME launched operations in the UAE. So how much will a sitting set you back? No less than a cool Dh187,330. Of course, this price is inclusive of the travel and accommodation expenses for the nail specialist flown in from the UK and for the maintenance costs. And though one may think the price is far too steep, apparently not everyone shares the same opinion: "Interest has been overwhelming. Our service is bespoke and international; thus we have an ever-growing waiting list," says owner Cherish Angula.
Kipp can't help but wonder what exactly happens to the diamonds, once one's nails grow out? And how much would it hurt to scratch yourself with these diamond-studded talons?
Ferraris are flashy enough without needing extra help; which is why when Autoblog featured a gallery of one Saudi Ferrari owner's 599 GTB Fiorano chromed up, we were quite taken aback. Now granted, there is some debate as to whether the owner actually chromed his vehicle or whether he actually just made use of developing sticker-technology, there is no denying it sure is blinged-up.
Gold and platinum credit cards move over! You have been replaced by the very literal diamond credit card offered by Dubai First. With a diamond embedded at the center of the credit card, perhaps the best feature of the Royale Mastercard is the unlimited credit that it brings with it. Of course, not just anyone can qualify for the card; not only is the credit card available by invitation only, but it is only for those individuals with a monthly salary of at least Dh100,000 or self-employed individuals with assets amount to at least Dh3.67 million.
When Camilia Mohebi, owner of Babybling, was asked what was the best selling item from her company: she was quick to reply it was the Dh6,500 18-carat gold pacifier studded with Swarovski crystals. Of course, Mohebi is quick to explain the attraction may just be a cultural thing: "It's true that Arabs love opulence. It's been part of our culture for centuries (gold was traditionally given as a gift to babies) and Arabs see babies as their windows for fashion, putting great emphasis on dressing them up in gorgeous clothes and gems."
Gold ATMs have been set up around the UAE, in major tourist destinations like the entrance of Burj Khalifa, the At The Top viewing platform on the 124th floor and the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The ATM machine, which only accepts cash (dirhams, to be specific), provides over excited tourists with gold nuggets and coins: the smallest nugget weighs 2.5 grams and can set you back by Dh565, whereas a one-ounce coin is a lot more pricey at Dh5,540. The prices are updated via the internet every 10 minutes. Though Kipp initially thought this idea a bit stupid, apparently not everybody agrees. Gulf News reports that "one vendor has had to organise twice-a-week replenishment."
Thinking of buying a new phone? If you are stuck with the dilemma of Blackberry or iPhone, why not consider a phone from GoldVish's Haute Couture, various combinations of gold and diamond cell phone. It will set you back anywhere between Dhs220,000 to Dhs730,000, anyway.
Taking the concept of gold as jewellery to the next level is the special gold tattoo. Here in Dubai, you can opt for such an indulgence at Assawan Spa & Health Club at Burj Al Arab, the only spa that offers such tattoos. An exec from Assawan Spa said, "as of now we are the only spa offering such tattoos (…) We have both local residents and tourists as our clients. The starting range is Dh395 for small sized ones and for medium-sized tattoos it normally costs Dh495."
When Kipp read of these contact lenses that come complete with a string of diamonds around the centre, we'll admit we were surprised that it was created in India, of all places. The gold-plated contact lenses featuring 18 twinkling diamonds are going for $15,000. Each to their own, but if you ask Kipp, the almost demonic looking contact lens for some reason hardly conjure the beloved image of 'twinkling eyes.' Yet judging by the UAE's love for all things bling, we wouldn't be too surprised if the diamond studded contact lenses get a few buyers here in the emirates. After all, the region is infamous for its appreciation of all things shiny and outrageously bling. In this slideshow, we have gathered some of the most zany bling products the UAE has enjoyed

Badlands is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to Carl Johnson by the C.R.A.S.H. team in Angel Pine in Whetstone.
After the gun battle under the Mulholland Intersection that resulted in Sweet's incarceration, CJ is taken out of Los Santos to begin performing tasks for C.R.A.S.H. The first of these tasks is a favor for Tenpenny, who tells CJ to eliminate an ex-police officer being held by the FBI under a witness protection program. The witness, who has compromising information about Tenpenny, is hiding in a remote cabin located on Mount Chiliad. CJ, disarmed by the officers, and carrying only a camera, is forced to make his way up Mt. Chiliad. He then flushes the witness out of the cabin, and chase him down Mt. Chiliad as he attempts to flee in a Washington. After CJ kills the witness, he photographs the evidence that he will no longer be talking.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Kill the witness! Bring back proof
- Make your way up the mountain to find that snitch
- He's inside, smoke him out
- Remember, you need a photo of him in one piece
- Photograph the body
- Take the camera to the drop
- You may want to buy a Sub Machine Gun and get a Sanchez so that you may blow up the Washington easily. Though the witness may bail out of the car, it would be easy to kill him with the SMG (any SMG will do; it doesn't have to be an MP5, just make sure you have enough bullets to set the car on fire.)
- The easiest way to finish this mission is to sneak into the forest area west of the cabin. From there, sneak into the door facing the forest area and the witness will be standing inside. The witness will not respond to your presence and you can just easily take him down with fists. Then take the picture. The only thing left to do is to go to the drop point. This method skips the car chase. This is recommended if the player does not want to waste time or money getting weapons.
- Another simple way is to find the Flamethrower In Flint County (see this map). Ride a motorbike like the Sanchez to the cabin and when you are a fair distance away, jump off the moving bike. Sprint up so you are near the cabin wall and switch to the flamethrower, and burn the guards outside the cabin. The flames will go through the wall and should ignite the target, killing him before he even reaches his car. Once the guards out the front are dead, you can crouch around the outside of the cabin and take care of the rest, then easily photograph the body.
The phone call received from Cesar unlocks First Date.
- Badlands is the first in GTA San Andreas requiring the use of a camera and serves as training in its use if the player isn't familiar with the camera.
- It is somewhat ironic that the police failed to give Carl any of his weapons or any weapons they may have had back -- although it's understandable that they stripped him of all his weapons in the previous mission, it is something of a plot to why they refused to give him any more weapons.
- The Washington that the witness drives has a San Fierro license plate that reads "ASSMAN".
- Returning to the "drop point" after taking the photo automatically removes any wanted level CJ gains during the mission.
- If you managed to destroy the Washington before the witness enters it (via a cheat or Rocket Launcher), the witness will stand still in the cabin and not move.
- If you manage to sneak past the police and walk into the cabin, the witness will stand still and act as a pedestrian, until you shoot him or kill him.
- Although buying and using a shotgun can kill him quickly, as it only takes two shots to the body to die, it is discouraged to do so because no matter where you aim the gun, the mission will fail if you blow his head off.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Topic Overview
What is carbon monoxide poisoning?
Carbon monoxide poisoning happens when you breathe too much carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a gas produced by burning any type of fuel—gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal. What makes this gas so dangerous is that when you breathe it, it replaces the oxygen in your blood. Without oxygen, cells throughout the body die, and the organs stop working.
You can't see, smell, or taste carbon monoxide. But if you breathe too much of it, it can become deadly within minutes. So be sure you know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, what to do if you have the symptoms, and how to keep it from happening.
What causes carbon monoxide poisoning?
Carbon monoxide can come from any source that burns fuel. Common sources are cars, fireplaces, powerboats, woodstoves, kerosene space heaters, charcoal grills, and gas appliances such as water heaters, ovens, and dryers. Usually they cause no problems. Trouble comes when:
- Cars, trucks, or other engines are left running in enclosed spaces, such as garages. Carbon monoxide can build up in a garage and leak back into the house. Even sitting in an idling car in an open garage or swimming behind an idling boat can be dangerous.
- Fuel-burning appliances are not installed or used properly. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up inside houses and other buildings.
- Fuel-burning heating systems and appliances are used during cold weather, when doors and windows are closed. Chimneys in older buildings become blocked and release fumes into the homes or offices. Newer houses that are well insulated and tightly sealed can trap carbon monoxide inside.
What are the symptoms?
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Nausea.
As carbon monoxide builds up in your blood, symptoms get worse and may include:
- Confusion and drowsiness.
- Fast breathing, fast heartbeat, or chest pain..
- Vision problems.
- Seizures.
If you have symptoms that you think could be caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call 911 or go to the emergency room. If you keep breathing the fumes, you may pass out and die.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur suddenly or over a long period of time. Breathing low levels of carbon monoxide over a long period can cause severe heart problems and brain damage. See a doctor if:
- You often are short of breath and have mild nausea and headaches when you are indoors.
- You feel better when you leave the building and worse when you return.
- Other people you work or live with have the same symptoms you do.
How is carbon monoxide poisoning diagnosed?
It can be hard to know if you have carbon monoxide poisoning. The same symptoms can be caused by flu or other problems. In the winter months, doctors may suspect carbon monoxide poisoning in people who complain of severe headache, nausea, or dizziness. This is especially true if other household members or coworkers have the same symptoms. Even pets in the home may get sick.
If your doctor suspects carbon monoxide poisoning, he or she can order a blood test that measures the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood. You may have other blood tests to check your overall health and to look for problems caused by carbon monoxide.
How is it treated?
The best treatment is oxygen therapy. Breathing pure oxygen can bring the oxygen level in the blood back to normal. There are two kinds of oxygen therapy:
- 100% oxygen therapy. For this treatment, you breathe oxygen through a mask. This is the most common treatment.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. For this treatment, you lie inside a chamber that delivers oxygen under high pressure. This quickly reduces carbon monoxide levels in the blood.
With quick treatment, most people recover within a few days. But long-term problems can show up later. Be sure to tell your doctor about any changes in vision, coordination, or behavior that occur in the weeks after treatment.
How can you prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?
Many people die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. There are some easy steps you can take to reduce your risk. One of the most important is to see a doctor right away if you think you have symptoms.
Safe use of vehicles
- Do not leave your car running in the garage, even if the garage door is open.
- Do not ride in the back of a pickup truck with a camper shell.
- Do not swim behind an idling boat.
Safe use of fuel-burning tools and appliances
- Have all fuel-burning appliances (such as oil or gas heaters, stoves, water heaters, and space heaters, fireplaces, and woodstoves) inspected each year.
- Check chimneys, flues, and vents regularly to make sure they are in good shape, properly connected, and not blocked.
- Never use a kerosene or propane heater in an enclosed area, such as a camper, motor home, trailer, or tent.
- Never use a gas or charcoal grill indoors.
- Never use a gas oven to heat your home.
- Do not close a fireplace or stove damper before the fire is completely out.
- Do not use gas-powered generators, lawn equipment, or engines in enclosed areas.
Carbon monoxide detectors
- Consider putting carbon monoxide detectors in your home near sleeping areas. Look for ones endorsed by Underwriters Laboratory (UL).
- If you install a detector, follow the directions closely. Know what to do if the alarm sounds.
- Understand that carbon monoxide detectors are a backup safety measure. They do not replace the need to check appliances regularly and use them safely.
