The Ohio County Grand Jury this week indicted Robert Robertson on four counts of malicious wounding after he allegedly stabbed and shot a man while inside a Washington Avenue apartment last year.
Robertson, 52, of Wheeling, and Cleveland resident Orlando Jackson were engaged in an argument while inside the apartment on Sept. 15 when Robertson allegedly stabbed Jackson in the neck and shot him in the leg. Jackson reportedly jumped from a second story window and landed in front of the building, where a neighbor found him and pulled him inside before police arrived.
Robertson, also known as "KO," has remained in the Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville since turning himself in to police days after the alleged crime. Following his indictment Monday, Robertson's bond was doubled to $1 million.
In addition to Robertson, the grand jury returned indictments Monday against the following individuals:
- Anne Vaughan, 45, of Wheeling, burglary and conspiracy.
- Steven Riley, 34, of Dubois, Pa., second-offense unlawful taking of a vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle.
- Gina Jerrome, 28, of Wheeling, grand larceny and conspiracy.
- Jacob Christopher, 24, of Wheeling, grand larceny and conspiracy.
- Kasie Morgan, 20, of Columbus, grand larceny, conspiracy and third-offense shoplifting.
- Julian Green, 29, of Bellaire, wanton endangerment.
- Kristen Fox, 25, of Wheeling, burglary.
- Dasere Bryant, 20, of Wheeling, burglary.
- Frederick Higgins, 31, of Wheeling, malicious wounding.
- Melvin Crow, 33, of Glen Easton, entering without breaking.
- Larry McElfresh Jr., 24, of Wheeling, third-offense domestic violence.
- Jeremy Gorayeb, 30, of Wheeling, third-offense domestic battery.
- Christopher Saleone, 33, of Wheeling, robbery.
- Anthony DeCollo II, 29, of Wheeling, distribution of a schedule I narcotic controlled substance, conspiracy to distribute a schedule I narcotic controlled substance and conspiracy to distribute a non-narcotic controlled substance.
- Justin Parsons, 23, of Wheeling, delivery of a schedule II controlled substance and conspiracy to deliver a schedule II controlled substance.
- Louis Biery, 28, of Wheeling, breaking and entering and conspiracy.
These individuals are expected to enter not guilty pleas during docket day proceedings next week in Ohio County Circuit Court. The names of the other individuals indicted will be released upon their arrest by law enforcement.

Basel, Switzerland (SportsNetwork.com) - Swiss icon and five-time champion
Roger Federer moved into the quarterfinals, while reigning champion Juan
Martin del Potro posted an opening-round victory Wednesday at the $1.955
million Swiss Indoors tennis event.
The top-seeded former U.S. Open champion del Potro handled Swiss wild card
Henri Laaksonen 6-4, 6-4 at St. Jakobshalle, where the Argentine upset
Federer in last year's Basel finale.
The formidable Argentine del Potro's second-round opponent will be former
Australian Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis, who was a Basel runner-up back in
The third-seeded former world No. 1 Federer came from behind to win his
second-round match against Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, in 1
hour, 52 minutes on Day 3.
Federer is a nine-time Basel finalist, including the five titles. The current
world No. 8 is battling for a spot in the eight-player season-ending ATP World
Tour Finals next month.
Meanwhile, Michael Llodra ousted fifth-seeded fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet
6-4, 6-2 in an opening-round affair, and a second-round upset came when
Croat Ivan Dodig humbled sixth-seeded 2011 Basel runner-up Kei Nishikori 6-1,
6-2. The U.S. Open semifinalist and world No. 9 Gasquet is still battling for
a spot in the ATP World Tour Finals. He was a titlist last week in Moscow.
In some other first-round play, Canadian Vasek Pospisil vaulted past last
week's Vienna runner-up Robin Haase 6-4, 6-4 and Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu
got past American fellow qualifier Denis Kudla 6-4, 7-5.
The 2013 Basel winner will earn $475,000.

Making Parts on a Variation of the Wire-Buck Theme - Buck ConventionWritten by Chris Shelton on September 1, 2012 Contributors: Frank Wallic
Our pal Frank Wallic is like the cobbler whose kids go shoeless. For years he's made these restoration-grade aircraft seats and Sprint Car noses. And while he's built a few personal cars, he's never really treated himself to his own goodies. "I figured it was about time to do something for me," he says. So he made a midget-style nose not for a car but to do nothing but hang on his wall.
Actually that last part is only half true. He really did make a nose for a piece of personal wall art but he made the particular one in this article for a soap-box derby car. It gets even better: you could say the car's pilot is in his second childhood (think closer to 80 than 8).
The real story is how he did it. Prevailing skeleton-buck construction favors plywood as it shapes and assembles easily. But Wallic used bar stock instead. It's basically a variation of the wire-buck idea only with thicker materials (3/8 inch) that promise to hold their shape to a greater degree. Admittedly the idea was born of convenience: Wallic has a ring roller to make stands for his wife's flower pots.
He discovered a few benefits. For one, his new bucks offer nearly infinite clamping positions. "But the best part is that you can weld right on it and it won't catch fire like wood will," he observes. What's more, unlike thin wire it won't deflect so easily. "That's really nice because it keeps everything from moving around while you're welding." Storage, it turns out, is easier with a steel buck. "When you're done you can just chuck it outside. You can't do that with wood. It'll go to hell if it gets wet."
The remainder of the nose's construction follows pretty standard procedure. Wallic used 3003-series half-hard aluminum in 0.063 inch for the skin, 1/8 inch for the grille opening, and 1/4-inch round stock for the grille bars. If there's any further variation to his technique it's that he welded with TIG/GTAW. Sheet-aluminum fabrication usually favors acetylene for its soft, workable weld bead (ordinarily aluminum TIG/GTAW beads crack when worked or shaped). But as others have, Wallic found that beads made with softer 1100-series filler rod (basically pure, un-alloyed aluminum) can withstand even fairly rigorous shaping even if made by TIG/GTAW.
Wallic uses some pretty fancy tools: English wheel, power hammer, ring roller, TIG/GTAW welder, and so forth. But this job lends itself to simpler, inexpensive, traditional tools. For example, the steel rod can be heated with an acetylene torch and bent around pretty much any non-flammable thing with the right radius. The bodies of some of the most valuable old Ferrari race cars were pounded out with mallets on tree stumps and shot bags and finished with dollies and hammers. With a little bit of practice the same acetylene kit used to shape the buck will produce some of the best and softest welds possible in aluminum.
Whichever way you choose to do it, a nose like this really is within the grasp of most well-heeled amateurs. And don't say you don't have the time to learn. After all, our pal Frank Wallic found enough time to pull this off. And all it does is look cool on a wall in his house.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Wallic was overlapping each panel as he went. Once he finished shaping, he clamped those panels to the buck and used their overlapping edges as a scriber guide. He then trimmed along those lines.Once satisfied with the panels' general fit and finish, Wallic clamped them securely to the buck and tacked them together, since the buck will take the heat it serves as the ultimate welding jig. If using acetylene, start welding with the second tack to prevent back cracking. Then return to finish the span between the first and second tacks.Welded metal always shrinks as it cools. The bead also sits quite proud of the welded area. Rolling, planishing, or even hand-hammering the bead over a dolly, however, flattens and stretches the welded area.Rolling or planishing the bead also has similar benefits to forging metal: it tightens and aligns the grain structure to create a tougher, more malleable region. It also diminishes the need to grind the bead flat.Wallic then ran the edge of the nose through his tipping dies. They basically form a recessed ledge on which the hood would sit.For a simple way to torch anneal aluminum, strike an acetylene flame and coat the part with a light layer of soot. Then burn the soot off with a neutral flame. The soot serves as a marker of sorts; the heat required to burn it off brings the material to the annealing temperature.Once annealed, even 1/8-inch aluminum plate forms quite easily. Wallic used his power hammer and English wheel but again, a mallet and a shot bag would do the trick just as well, albeit with a little more effort.Satisfied with the way the plate fit the nose, Wallic cut away its center. A simple saber saw with an ordinary high-speed steel blade does the trick; however, lubricate the blade with spray oil or better yet wax to prevent the aluminum from gumming up the teeth.
Wallic notched the ends of the bars so their faces would sit flush with the face of the grille surround.He then repeated the last two steps to create the remainder of the grille bars. A little bit of fillet welding and grinding at each joint will make this piece appear to have been cast this way.Though the nose he created is hardly much bigger than his welding helmet, the procedures Wallic employed to make it aren't any different than the ones required to build a full-size version. Aluminum's conductivity is unfortunate in this case; a smaller version of this nose would make the ultimate welding helmet.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A missing California man with a severe concussion from a mountain biking accident has been found safe but confused in Salt Lake City.
Matthew Abraham of Scotts Valley, Calif., was located in Salt Lake City's main library on Friday evening after authorities searched for him in California and Nevada.
Salt Lake police the say 20-year-old Abraham was unsure why he was in Utah and possibly didn't realize he was considered a missing person.
Santa Cruz County, Calif., sheriff's investigators say a man who traveled by bus with Abraham from San Francisco to Salt Lake City notified authorities after realizing Abraham was reported missing.
The search for Abraham began Thursday morning after his family discovered him missing from their home.
His parents say he became disoriented after the March 9 accident.

SIngh Ji.on my C5 I found the double earth straps and a projected nose.If on installing this on your bike your Idle RPM went up. Then it means your engine actually likes the Plug. Just back off your Idle 1/2 turn. (On the EFI you will need a screw driver with a 90 Deg bend.
Re the Exide MX Freedom 12MF14L-A2 on the G5. I took the battery side cover off yesterday and noticed what I thought was drops of water on the inside of cover. I thought, strange - I haven't been thru rain lately, I felt it, in a few secs - OUCH! it was acid. I wondered if any others had a vent tube on their Exide?
Hello Clubman. Since you are in UK, chinoy in India, I and t120 in USA, I want to get a picture of what each of us is getting in three different continents. I would like to know what spark plug is (was) originally in your bike. Do you have a picture and dimensions of that ? I am assuming you have UCE - do you ? Thanks.
Singh JiWhat you have observed is natrual.You know the laws of flame front propagation.The flame front has a speed Im too lazy to dig out my copy of Blair to give you the ball park number. If my memory is not shot its +- 30 Mtr/Sec depending on factors such as turbulance, compresion, MSV, Squish etc.When you go from a Projected nose plug to a non projected nose plug you are in effect changing the timing of your engine. Say the difference in height between a Projected nose and a non projected nose is 2mm. Then on an engine with a 54mm stroke that is like 20 Deg.Its a well known fact that if you take an engine with a non projected plug and replace it with a projected plug. The engine will feel like the timing has been advanced.Advancing the timing has allmost the same effect as increasing your compresion.With the projected nose plug your now feeling like you have moded your engine to fire way before TDC.So in summarya. If the orignal plug is a Projected Nose Plug. Run a projected nose Plug. The only exception being say when a bike has just been rebuilt and we do not trust the owner to run it in right. We put in a non projected plug to back off the timing.b. If you change your timing to fire more BTDC then your RPM will go up and the bike will feel more peppy. Pic of TB attached.You need to turn the brass screw next to the choke with a screw driver.Ive seen the guys at RE use a regular screw driver to do this.This is your IDLE RPM adjuster.
Winter Battery Blues - Spark Plug Blacks I ordered and got a spanking black super-sealed Yuasa YTX14 AHL-BS 12 volts battery. It read 12.9 volts and beautifully fits in my black G5 as if they are made for each other.
I checked this out wondering if it was a gel battery but it is acid filled, albeit maintenance free. I then spent a good half hour on a lot of websites trying to find a gel battery of the same dimensions but didn't manage to. So question - does anyone know of a gel battery that would fit the G5? Thanks.

RICHMOND, Va. (WUSA) -- At the Virginia Republican Party gathering in Richmond, what began as a night of optimism and hope quickly deflated into one of despair.
The party faithful endured not just George Allen's loss to Tim Kaine for the U.S Senate seat, but the second term given to President Barack Obama.
"It's been a long and difficult campaign, but it's also been a joyful one," said George Allen, GOP candidate for Senate.
Allen's concession speech was met with stunned silence until someone in the room yelled "no."
"We're not happy with the results, but we're still alive. So long as they don't kill you, you keep fighting," Allen told the crowd.
Republican Bonnie Bird told us, "I'm trying to remember back in 2000. Where were we? Were people saying 'oh, the night's over, I'm so sorry. 'And 'then, oh wow, we've got a shot.'"
This was not the night Virginia Republicans had envisioned. It's not over yet.
"No, we haven't heard from Florida. We haven't heard from..." said Aleyda Kasten.
Many people in the crowd believe this is reminiscent of the 2000 presidential election and they're still holding out a glimmer of hope until every vote is counted.
"It really isn't over yet. It did harken back to 2000. They were reporting... I went to bed at 3 a.m. and when I woke up the next morning, the world was in turmoil and we were in the Supreme Court," said Michele Tennery.

After a sail with a lot of fog, followed by some beautiful sunny tailwinds, we sailed into Liverpool Bay, in the Canadian maritime province of Nova Scotia.

We have left the USA and are back in international waters, so I take down the USA courtesy flag that we have been flying while in the USA.
Later, when we reach Canadian waters, I will put up a yellow "Quarantine" flag which indicates we are coming from another country and requesting clearance to enter Canada.
Sun Jun 13 18:01:00 EDT 2010, Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA
Provincetown is a pleasant seaside resort and fishing town. It has a port that is protected from all directions. We had no plans to stop until the water pressure tank (which is part of the system that makes drinking water come out of the faucets) rusted out while we were in Cape Cod Bay. We made a phonecall to a marine hardware store in nearby Provincetown to see if they had any suitable manual pumps (there is less to go wrong with a manual system) to work around it. They said they had a wide selection of pumps like that, so we sailed to Provincetown.
The person in the store who said they had pumps was wrong, so we are drinking water from the supply of bottled water that is aboard, and we got some fresh food and a few other things in Provincetown while we were there. The water in the main drinking water tanks is still available (just less conveniently) if we run out of bottled water.

We got a bunch of things done on the boat while waiting out the gale that was offshore. While there wasn't much wind in the harbor, the clouds looked interesting.
Thu Jun 10 18:01:00 EDT 2010, Stonington, CT
Offshore, there was an easterly gale coming, so we went into the picturesque harbor of Stonington, CT and sat out the gale at anchor.
Mon Jun 7 18:01:00 EDT 2010, Long Island Sound
After an all-too-brief visit to New York, and a short delay sitting out a cold front on the other side of the harbor, Issuma set off again. Aboard are myself, Chris, Gabriela and Ted. We motored around the Battery, through the East River to Long Island Sound, where we set sail on a beautiful day.
In the picture, Gabriela is filming the view of the sails aloft, ahead of Issuma is the marconi schooner Summerwind, heading northeast like we are.
Here's a shot of Summerwind under full sail just off Kings Point, her home port.
Fri May 21 11:08:11 EDT 2010, New York, NY, USA
I've had no time to blog lately, because the sailing just got that busy. Also the Iridium satellite phone network apparently did a switch upgrade which had problems, so my email-at-sea connection has been and still is down.
After a short gale on the New Jersey coast, which kept me busy dodging fishing boats and wet from the many waves dumping aboard (the water is shallow, so the waves get high), the wind died out and I motored 40 miles to Gravesend Bay. There I anchored and slept for a few hours. The following day (yesterday), as the flood current started, a light wind came up and I sailed off the anchor in very pleasant conditions. The wind wasn't strong enough to take me all the way, so I motorsailed through the bay, and then sailed up the river, and anchored at 79 Street Boat Basin (they do not have moorings big enough for Issuma).
This morning I went through the US Customs & Border Protection entrance procedure at the Passenger Ship Terminal in Manhattan (it was too late to go there yesterday when I arrived), where the officers were very pleasant and helpful.
It's great to be back in New York, and it would be very nice to stay longer. My intentions are to buy a bunch of boat stuff here, make some repairs, take crew aboard and sail for Nova Scotia.
How long will you be in port? Would love to stop by and say hello!
And whaddya know...! So, Welcome back Richard! Glad to know you're able to come up through Brazil coast line.
I heard thru the grapevine you were in town and it looks as if I may have missed you. Went by the boat basin Sunday to see Issuma. Are you close by or on your way North? Either way I wish you fair winds.
I am in New York for a few more days, working on the boat. Issuma is anchored north of 79th Street Boat Basin (they don't have a big enough mooring for her), around 98th Street.

I don't see the harm in trying something different and seeing which looks the best on screen. I dont mind the current ones either, but maybe this will look a little bit better? It would also stop the naysayers who would say "but those aren't diamonds, they're triangles".
I presume it wouldn't be hard for Andrew and Thomas to try this if they haven't already?
This is what it would look like with multiple rows:
Now, I really don't want to get into much of a discussion about this, because this is a thread *announcing* the game will be available for Christmas. It's not an "in development" thread. The game is finished. However, I do appreciate you have taken some time to try out variations... and so to show you what your diamond looks like, here's a screen-shot of both types together. As I said, I have tried many variants -- I'm happy with the existing version.
Hmmmm... not nearly as nice on screen as what it looks on paper. I agree, leave it be and put all those who complain about "triangle" diamonds at the bottom of the pre-order list

I have seen training dummies and targets all over Skyrim (and Cyridil). Do these practice targets improve your skills when you use them, or is it just for effect?
These dummies are just for effect. The Dragonborn cannot gain skillpoints from attacking training dummies, as they are not actually dealing damage to anything (which is the way to improve these skills).
Archery targets, however, are useful if you want practice lining up your shots, however, and are especially useful if you wait around until NPCs practice on them, as you can harvest the NPC's arrows from the target.
If you're bold enough to pickpocket more powerful arrows onto them, harvesting the infinite arrows from their targets is the best way to get a large supply of the most valuable arrows in the game.

Local school districts are preparing for immediate budget cuts, unless Gov. Jennifer Granholm and lawmakers come up with an alternative plan.
Gov. Granholm says schools will have to look at whatever bells and whistles they have, so the core of the educational system stays in tact.
Lansing school officials say they don't have the bells and whistles seen at other schools. They include the arts, music, and physical education. They admit the proposed cuts of $127 million in state aid forces them to look at areas once considered untouchable.
School board president says the district is already looking at cutting 10 percent from school budgets. He says they have recently added more programs and reading teachers.
Board president says the district can't afford to sit back and play the waiting game. He says cuts could really change the way Lansing educates kids in the district.

China's Alibaba goes public with IPO on US stock market
Newscast Media NEW YORK—China's online retail giant Alibaba has filed documents for
its long-awaited US stock listing. The company's initial public offering into the US
market is widely expected to be one of the largest in history.
Alibaba filed documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Tuesday for its US stock listing and is aiming to raise $1 billion (717.6 million euros) in
a long-awaited initial public offering (IPO).
The filing is expected to lead to the technology industry's biggest initial public
offering since the micro-blogging site Twitter collected $1.8 billion in its debut last
fall. Some industry analysts have predicted that Alibaba's IPO could even eclipse the
$16 billion (11.5 billion euros) raised by Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook in 2012.
The group, founded by Jack Ma, has not yet revealed how much stock will be sold in
the IPO. These details will emerge over the next three to four months as the IPO
The company has also not revealed which US exchange its stock will trade on.
The initial filing with the SEC noted that a range of investment banks will lead the
offering including Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan
Stanley and Citi.
Alibaba is based in Hangzhou and owns two of China's most popular online shopping
services, Taobao and TMall. The e-commerce powerhouse makes more money than
US giants Amazon and eBay combined.
Yahoo Inc. has also benefited from Alibaba's success as its 24 percent stake in the
Chinese company has helped its own stock to more than double over the past two
years. With the listing, Yahoo is supposed to sell its 208 million shares.

Bigatti Cleansers collection is designed to remove impurities from your face without stripping away the moisture and nutrients that make your skin look and feel its best.
The items in the Z. Bigatti Cleansers line are produced with a revolutionary manufacturing process known as cold-extraction, which keeps the natural, nourishing ingredients in the products fresh and active.

Over time, this exfoliation results in a more even skin texture and less noticeable pores.
Although Z. Bigatti Re-Storation Champagne Gel Cleanser offers maximum effectiveness at reducing oil levels on the skin, its formula does not rob the tissue of moisture as it cleanses. The cleanser is even imparted with cyclic hydroxy acid to give your skin a dose of hydration with every wash. Aloe vera and chamomile featured in the formula ease irritation and minimize redness common in sensitive skin, while a blend of vitamins A, E, B2, B3, B9 and B12 provide nourishment and protection from environmental damage.

JOCKEY JUAN GUTIERREZ, CLASS INCLUDED, WINNER: "I expected three horses to go to the lead, and I could just sit behind them. My filly was really relaxed. I felt comfortable on her the whole way. I was smooching at her a little on the turn to see what she had left. I could tell she had a lot of horse. She went by the leaders very easily. She's a classy filly. She doesn't play around."
JOCKEY WILLIAM ANTONGEORGI, SWEET NELLIE BROWN, SECOND: "I've always liked this horse. We got along really well two races back, so I fought hard to get back on her today. I just tried to save ground and get her to relax. She's one of the better horses in this race. She just might not be better than Class Included. I was really happy with the way she ran. At the quarter-pole, I thought we might win if Class Included faltered. That didn't happen."
NOTES: Class Included (13-7-6-0-$256,823)…Class Included has four stakes wins at Emerald Downs and five overall…A Classic Life, dam of Class Included, also won four stakes at Emerald Downs…Juan Gutierrez has four stakes wins this season and is No. 3 all-time with 42 stakes wins @ EmD…Jim Penney has two stakes wins this season and is now tied with Bud Klokstad for No. 2 all-time with 43 stakes wins at Emerald Downs…Class Included and Sweet Nellie Brown, both trained by Penney, have finished one-two twice this season at Emerald Downs.

Please, allow we to assist you.
Remove the feed spring ... 3 seconds ... turn the mag upside down and let the mag block fall to the top ... 2 seconds ... grab it with pliers and yank it out ... 5 seconds ... replace the feed spring.
On some weapons the block is metal and required opening and resealing the mag.
Worst case for someone who can install a car air filter ... under three minutes.
Now what did that "SOLVE" by lowering the limit if one is intent on mass homicide?
Here's a novel approach ... why don't we go after people who try to buy guns illegally and after those who sell guns illegally and after those who make straw purchases for criminals?
What is it about leftists that will make them try to criminalize the citizens most likely to save them if they ever were caught in a mass shooting ... and then hold candlelight vigils for the likes of Tookie Williams, Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier?

Happy birthday, indeed
CONTRARY TO what I might have tweeted, I haven't bought my popcorn for the latest, most humorous, round of conference realignment.
Actually, I lean toward Chex mix. And today, I'll take that with a 2,000-calorie chunk of birthday cake.
For today, I'm feeling youthful, fat and happy. The developments of the last few weeks have registered on the comedy meter somewhere between the "Gangnam Style" video and A&E's "Duck Dynasty."
I'm not sure where to start, but here's the rundown:
That's an intersection of Louisiana Tech finally entering C-USA, Holtz going 5-16 in three seasons of Big East league play at South Florida and Sonny Dykes leaving for California.
I had missed Holtz, the most entertaining football coach in C-USA. Back when the league actually operated a weekly teleconference, the then-East Carolina leader was first up, preceding Marshall's Mark Snyder. Snyder was always punctual on joining the call, which meant he endured the last 10 minutes of Holtz's yarns.
(Which Snyder took in stride. As you'll recall, he landed at USF after his resignation at Marshall, serving as Holtz's defensive coordinator for two years before moving on to Texas A&M and conquering Alabama.)
Taking over at ECU the same year Snyder took the Marshall job, Holtz led the Pirates out of a 3-21 abyss in 2003-04 to C-USA championships in 2008 and 2009. He represents a good "name" hire for Tech athletic director Bruce Van De Velde, who botched bowl negotiations so badly his 8-4, 618-point Bulldogs are staying home.
(Don't worry, Bruce. Conference USA does one great thing for its members: It takes care of bowl logistics. Finances, too. You may be sentenced to a Christmas week in Detroit, but you'll persevere.)
The question is this: Can Holtz, whose Pirates were more defense-oriented, thrive at a program that just scored "half a hunny" eight times?
I say he will. We'll have to see who he brings in as offensive coordinator, but keep this in mind: The Bulldogs lose quarterback Colby Cameron and seven other starters on that side. If you must tweak the attack, this isn't a bad time.
It was just last December when the folks at Central Florida were dancing in the aisles over being accepted into the altar of the prestigious Big East.
Was there any doubt the head basketball coach at UCF had visions dancing in his head of butting heads with Rick Pitino and Jim Boeheim, of welcoming the likes of Georgetown, Syracuse and Villanova to campus? Do you think he had those visions about the time his last Marshall team struggled against two Southern Conference teams in the CIT? (Yes.)
The folks in Orlando were giddy over joining a so-called Bowl Championship Series conference. Shoot, they were excited that South Florida president Judy Genshaft recognized their right to exist.
Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi declared at the time, "The big time is here."
Last week, as the seven Catholic, basketball-oriented programs announced they were bailing out, Bianchi sang a different tune: "The Big East is about to become the Big Deceased, and the Knights should not pay a dime - let alone millions of dollars - to join a league that is really no better than the one they are leaving."
It took until February for the Big East to swallow hard and let Memphis into the house, cruddy football program and all. The school trumpeted its reunion with former C-USA rivals Louisville, Cincinnati, DePaul and Marquette.
Commercial Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins asked, "Why is this a fabulous day? Let us count the ways."
I'll just list the better ones:
1. The return of the Memphis-Louisville rivalry.
2. Other teams that will be on the regular season basketball schedule: Cincinnati, Georgetown, UConn, Villanova, Notre Dame, Providence and St. John's.
3. The men's basketball tournament will be at Madison Square Garden. It will not be at UTEP.
4. Opposing basketball coaches will never be able to tell recruits, "Do you want to play your road games at East Carolina, Marshall and Southern Miss?"
5. Josh Pastner won't have to figure out new and creative ways to convince people that the conference is any good.
6. Would you believe the Memphis Tigers in a BCS bowl game?
Now, Louisville is fleeing the Big East. Ditto Georgetown, Villanova, Notre Dame, Providence and St. John's. The MSG may not want the leftovers to besmirch its floor for five days. And I guess Pastner will have to keep playing road games at Tulane's Fogelman Arena, C-USA's worst venue.
Football-wise, the BCS is dying and was going to revoke the Big East's "AQ" status anyway. Besides, the Tigers have as much chance at a BCS bowl as does West Virginia State.
Calkins came to the same conclusion last weekend as did Bianchi: "It appears the Big East dream is dead."
The unanswered question is how much power Big East commissioner Michael Aresco was granted in that invitation, considering how the basketball-heavy schools held the majority of the voting membership at the time.
Did the presidents wave a wine glass and say, 'Whatever!' or was Tulane lured in as a scapegoat for the league's collapse? Neither would surprise me.
Here is the really fun part of Tulane's ill-advised move: The Green Wave's best sport is baseball, and that program takes a plunge in league quality. A hint: That team may be Marshall's most bitter C-USA rival in any sport, and there is little respect here for Tulane coach Rick Jones. Do I hear chortling?
One, I am awarding National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman early retirement and sending him on a cruise. A long, long cruise.
Two, I am issuing a moratorium on all complaints about crowd size. Really, does an empty seat mean apocalyptic fan apathy? Cease, I say!
(In decree No. 2A, I give Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick permission to once again allow announcement of attendance at basketball games. P.A. announcer Mike Kirtner needs something to do.)
Three, I am ordering Boise State and San Diego State to remain in Mountain West Conference, just because.
Four, I am awarding the "Big East" name to the departing basketball schools, considering that four charter members (Georgetown, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall) are among them. (Villanova joined in 1980.)
Lastly, I shall have another chunk of cake and watch the Big East crumble some more. Happy birthday to me.

I successfully installed the zimbra server on a ubuntu server edition. I have my own dns server. zimbra sais it cant find the mx entry even though i got one. but maybe i did something wrong there. anyways what troubles me is the following 2 lines when trying to start the server:
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.
i have ldap deactivated as far as i know. dunno what to do when those messages appear. i saw a thread where someone had the exact same problem but he never replied when asked for his log so there is no solution to find there would appreciate it if someone could help me. btw im just installing this server for fun at home to try it a bit. this is a very interesting project!

"If you want to buy a Happy Meal with a horsemeat burger, a can of Four Loko, trans fat fried foie gras, and a side of shark fin soup, I applaud your right to make those choices," says Baylen Linnekin as we sit on his porch in North Bethesda.
The 39-year-old executive director of the nonprofit Keep Food Legal has a decidedly libertarian perspective on food politics. "We want you to have the right to grow, raise, produce, buy, sell, cook, eat, and drink the food of your own choosing," he says. "We're opposed to subsidies that skew those choices and bans that clear those choices off the board. People are not stupid. They can make their own choices and live with the consequences."
To that end, we're sipping on cans of lemonade-flavored Four Loko, malt liquor cranked up with guarana, caffeine, and taurine. When I admit my ignorance over the final ingredient, Linnekin offers, "I think it's approved for use in animal feed as a stimulant, but not in human food." That's reassuring.
The boozy energy drink was banned in several states in 2010 after it was linked to illness and, in some cases, death. Before the company pulled it off the shelves, Linnekin ran out and bought several cases, but not because he likes it.
"It's disgusting," he admits. "But I don't believe that my personal tastes should dictate what other people choose to enjoy."
With its presiding bitterness and lingering chemical aftertaste, Four Loko definitely isn't Country Time lemonade, but Linnekin is more concerned with his philosophical point than his palate.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KSDK) - A 39-year-old man is a sexually violent predator and has been committed to the Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Facility in Farmington.
A St. Louis County jury ordered William Eugene Doyle to be committed after he serviced prison time for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl. Prior to that, Doyle had been convicted of sexually abusing a 6-year-old girl.
Once a person is committed by the court as a sexually violent predator, the person becomes the custody of the Missouri Department of Mental Health. They have the right to have their cases reviewed annually to determine whether their mental condition has changed and their risk to commit further acts of sexual violence has lessened.

Sen. John Kerry, Climate Expert
John Kerry in the Huffington Post (9/21) goes off on a "Climate is Not Weather" riff, and then says something quite revealing: It's next to impossible to attribute any single natural disaster or weather event entirely to climate change. But the pattern of recent events provides insights into the challenges we will face in a warming world. We may not know if flooding in Pakistan | Read More »

Since no one else has responded yet, I'll try to take a swing (and probably miss). I'm fairly comfortable with height map editing - but haven't really delved into DEM files (yet).
My first thought as to the problem is that the conversion chain is causing your distortion. I suspect the most likely culprit ss the conversion from png to geoTIFF in PS. I know Photoshop reads TIF files, but I'm not sure if there's any supplemental information in the geoTIFF format that it wouldn't understand. Basically, when you make the first conversion from geoTIFF to png - PS would just ignore the bits it doesn't understand and take the raw data (which works fine). But when converting back to geoTIFF, it doesn't add back those special bits that make the geoTIFF work, and you're left with a mess of useless data.
As far as resolution - the "easiest" step I can think of is to try converting your geoTIFFs into a more "DEM"-ish format that Wilbur can read natively. I'd start by scanning through the List of Mapping Software thread, or maybe try the slightly more focused Non-commercial Terrain Software List on vTerrain. I haven't used it myself (so I don't know if it would be at all helpful), but I think Quantum GIS would have the capabilities you're looking for - there's a good GIS Tutorial with a focus on QuantumGIS by Hai-Etlik. Another free software program you might try is Bryce - I'm not sure it has the import/export features you're looking for, but it has some similarities with Wilbur (the ability to "paint" on elevation).
Worst case scenario - you can learn some programming language and edit the file directly. I saw your post on StackExchange that this probably isn't your preferred choice - but if you'd be willing to wait a while for me to skill up, I might be able to help you in that regard. If the steps I've suggested above don't work, and you don't have any real time constraints, you could try posting the geoTIFF and I'll see what I can do...
Hope this helps.
It's also possible that whatever software you find to do the translation may also be better suited for actual editing needs.

In 1997 Garry Kasparov, then World Champion, lost an entire chess match to the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue, and it is only a matter of time before the machines become absolutely unbeatable. But the human brain, as Lewis Dartnell explains, is still able to put up a good fight by exploiting computers' weaknesses.
Calculus is a collection of tools, such as differentiation and integration, for solving problems in mathematics which involve "rates of change" and "areas". In the second of two articles aimed specially at students meeting calculus for the first time, Chris Sangwin tells us how to move on from first principles to differentiation as we know and love it!

Vice President Joe Biden: Howard Baker was an expert at finding solutions
VP remembers Senate colleague
Howard H. Baker Jr., the former Republican senator from Tennessee, died last week at his home in Huntsville, Tenn., at age 88. He was most famous for a question he asked of witnesses during the 1973 Watergate hearings: "What did the president know, and when did he know it?"
But for those who served with him, Baker was known as an expert at finding solutions. Vice President Joe Biden served six terms in the Senate representing Delaware, and he wrote this appreciation for his friend and former colleague, which appeared Tuesday in the Knoxville News Sentinel.
- - -
President Harry Truman once said, "It's understanding that gives us the ability to have peace. When you understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then you can sit down and you can work out your differences."
That describes my good friend Howard Baker perfectly. Howard and I worked and traveled together over many years, and I admired his tremendous wisdom and integrity. He was honorable, he was tough, and he was fair — traits that served him well as he took on two of the most challenging jobs in Washington, Senate majority leader and White House chief of staff.
But let me tell you what I remember best about Howard: his inexorable quest for finding a solution. Seeking middle ground was more than a strategic imperative for Howard, it was his first instinct. He had an ability to put himself in the other person's shoes that compelled you to trust him. That's a gift in short supply in present-day Washington. But it's how you get things done.
I watched Howard deliver ambitious, consequential bills time and time again. He teamed up with Sen. Ed Muskie to pass the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. He risked his career to pass the Panama Canal Treaty. I loved Howard's response when his aides warned that supporting the treaty meant forfeiting his presidential chances. "So be it," Howard snapped, according to Adam Clymer's book about the canal.
And his wife, Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, is cut from the same cloth. It was an honor to work with her during the 1990 budget summit. Both Nancy and Howard were always able to generate bipartisan consensus without sacrificing their principals and ideals.
The Irish poet William Butler Yeats wrote, "Talent perceives differences. Genius, unity." Howard was the kind of genius who could find unity in the moments of deepest division.
In 1973, when he served on the Watergate Committee, Howard played a critical role in restoring confidence in government. I was a young senator at the time, and the absolute consensus between Republicans and Democrats that Howard should serve as the committee's ranking Republican member left a deep impression on me. Nobody questioned his commitment to the Constitution. What everyone said was, "Howard will do the right thing."
In 1987, Howard was enjoying life in the private sector when President Ronald Reagan, on the ropes after the Iran-Contra affair, enlisted him as chief of staff to refocus the White House for what turned out to be a productive final two years.
I'll always remember one classic moment when we worked together on the judicial nomination process. Imagine the scene: Judge Robert Bork had just been defeated in the Senate. Another Reagan nominee had been sent up and withdrawn. The president had every reason to be frustrated with the Democratic chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Instead, at Howard's urging, Reagan called me into the Oval Office to review a list of possible new appointments. "I want to hear this from your perspective," the president said to me.
We reviewed the names, and the president sent up a nominee who I thought would be confirmed. And that's just what happened. I'm sure the meeting was Howard's idea. It was one of countless moments in his career when he brought the right people together in the right room to find a path forward.
The 19th-century British poet and historian Thomas Macaulay must have had Howard Baker in mind when he said, "The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out."
Working with Howard, and learning from him, was one of the best experiences of the 36 years I served in the United States Senate.

ST. LOUIS (Sports Network) - Carlos Beltran battered his former team with three hits -- including a three-run homer -- and knocked in four runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals take a 10-4 win over the slumping New York Mets.
Allen Craig drove in a pair and Matt Carpenter, Matt Holliday and Pete Kozma drove in a run apiece for the streaking Cardinals, who have captured 11 of their last 13 contests. Jon Jay added a solo homer in the victory.
Despite a four-run sixth inning, John Gast (1-0) had a very successful major league debut. He allowed just three hits in his first five frames of work before ending a six-inning outing with three strikeouts and a walk.
Mired in a horrific funk offensively, New York lost a fifth straight contest and fell for the 13th time in its last 16 games. Dillon Gee (2-5) was charged with six runs -- five earned -- over four innings.
The Mets fell behind 9-0 before John Buck and Lucas Duda drove in a run each. Marlon Byrd added a two-run homer in the setback.

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh dear forumites
Yes, its been a long time, but all good things take a long time
We WELCOME YOU BACK to the NEW 7CGEN!
ALhamdulillah with the grace and will of ALlah (swt) we have been able to upgrade to a new version and we are sure that you will love it just as much as we do. It might take time getting used to it, but TRUST us when we say that the new version of the forum is highly versatile and well worth the wait.
Why the 3 weeks of downtime? Initially it was because of some unforeseen circumstances and the fact that the forum had become outdated and needed to upgrade our forum software. Over time this developed into a protracted communication with the company that hosts this board, and it turned out an upgrade wasnt quite as easy as 1-2-3.
Anyway, all that is history now and we can look forward to having 7cgen back online. The forum is going to look like a TIME WARP - almost everything is 3 weeks old since that is how long its been down! SO dont let us hold you back - go around, get this place active, post till you drop (if you wish) and lets make this place its usual self insha Allah.
Finally we request you post in the following two topics and give us your feedback. Please keep in mind that there were major issues with the last version and we had to move away from it - the "support" for that version was due to end this june and updates have ended - this means that after this time were we to ever have issues with the forum, our company wouldnt be able to help us! So keep that in mind.
NEW FEATURES will be added to this forum over time, and there are some GREAT ones there too
The forum will also be closed to guests for around a week, so you will need to login to access and view the board.
We would also like to apologise for the delay and any inconvenience caused.
For Help and Guide for the new forum refer here:

I'd like to nominate Sh'gora in this thread. He's the giant inter-dimensional being from one of my favorite episodes, To Save Skeletor. I'd guess he'd have to be a giant beast. They could do some interesting things with his tentacles.
I'd love Sh'gora, prob the beast I want the most now after Graynamer.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Instagram & Snapchat: Just_Thommy
that what his name was.
would love this for a beast figure. reminds me so much of something out of d&d or your classic 80s sci-fi tentacle monster.
This would be fantastic.
I'd love to have tons of the weirder Filmation monsters!

oh, I love that monster. I love cyclopses, I love blobs, I love tentacles.

text: Me and a couple friends went out this weekend to sight in my new tc omega. I got the scope mounted and bore sighted at our local sportsmans warehouse. I bought those platinum with black plastic powerbelts in a 270 grain. Started out with those and 2 of the triple 7 50 grain pellets. Could not get a group out of them to save our lives. Shot the whole pack of those(20) and then started on a new pack of the copper with green plastic powerbelts in a 245 grain. Shot all those(20) and nothing. By this time we were tired and didn't know what to think, i was already thinking that the scope wasn't good. We finally zeroed out the scope and threw a field bore sight more less just by eye and started shooting the barnes tmz sabots in a 250 grain with the 100 grains of triple 7. Within 5 shots at 100 yds we had it shooting 1 inch groups. I always liked the powerbelts but for some reason this muzzleloader doesn't. I still have to shoot out of it some more with the barnes to feel more confident in it being that my shoulder looked like it got ran over shooting over 40 rounds with it. Just a heads up for some of you interested in these loads. Take your time and try different loads or you could go crazy! I know we did. Once i can get out there again to shoot it some more i will let you all know what i discovered. The other thing i found out is not to use the (bore butter) or other lubricants until you are going to store the muzzleloader for a while. I was using it after every cleaning at first and it would shoot the first round off the mark but then the second shot was right on. Just keep it clean and lube after your done shooting.

Radiation therapy
uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
uses radiation beams of different intensities. The beams deliver appropriate doses of radiation to the tumor and reduce the dose to nearby healthy tissue.
Radiation therapy works to destroy or shrink the tumor to eliminate or prevent the spread of cancer. It can also be used to relieve symptoms caused by the tumor, such as pain and bleeding.
Compared with conventional radiation therapy, IMRT can safely deliver greater doses of radiation. The higher dose may also improve the success of the treatment.
Some normal cells will be damaged with radiation. The goal of radiation therapy is to kill as many cancer cells as possible, while limiting damage to healthy cells.
IMRT is generally associated with fewer side effects than conventional radiation therapy. Side effects vary from person to person, depending on the location of your cancer. Some people experience no side effects at all. General side effects of radiation therapy may include:
Although uncomfortable, the side effects associated with radiation therapy are usually not serious. They can be controlled with medicine and diet. Your radiation oncologist can explain the side effects you are likely to experience and help determine the best strategies for managing them.
Planning for IMRT is complex and generally takes 2-5 days. Planning may include:
Using the marks made on your skin as a guide, the radiation therapist will position you on the treatment table. Films or ultrasound may be used to check the accuracy of the treatment setup. The therapist leaves the room to control the movements of the radiation machine. The treatment delivers radiation in a three-dimensional manner. This will help to conform as closely as possible to the shape of the tumor. The healthy tissue receives smaller doses of radiation than the tumor.
You will be asked to remain still during the radiation treatment. You may breathe normally. In general, you will not feel or sense anything during treatment. However, the machine can be stopped if you feel sick or uncomfortable. The therapists will be observing you with a monitor. You will be able to communicate to them should you need to.
You will be able to leave and resume your normal daily activities. Receiving IMRT does not make you radioactive. You do not need to avoid being around other people because of the treatment.
Each session will take 15-30 minutes. Patients are typically scheduled for IMRT five days per week for 4-8 weeks.
Holding one position may become a little uncomfortable, but it is not painful.
During treatment, your doctor will want to see you at least once a week. You may have blood tests or other studies performed.
After your treatment is completed, you will come in for regular visits to monitor for side effects and healing and check for signs of recurrent disease. You may require further testing, medicine, or rehabilitative treatment. Be sure to follow your doctor's
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
