Newcastle charvs
Charvs originated from the North East, they listen to noise called 'new monkey' that they think is music and now wear burberry which was swapped with kappa clothes a while ago.
You can identify a herd of these species by what seems like a sea of berghaus coats, they seem to think that if they own one piece of overpriced clothing they are 'cool'. You occasionally (or always) see them walking around with white lightning cider, bella or the equivelent.
Now onto the war cries of the charv. If you enter thier territory e.g a dimly lit underpass, secluded part of a park afterdark, a back alley basically anywhere remotely lit then you will here almost suddenly "Who the fuck ye lookin at?", "Ye want ya gan lyk?", "Who the fuck ye taakin tee?" or "Let's fuck im".
You will never see this species alone, always in groups but if you do get to see one on it's own then take up the chance and beat the shit out of him/her. It's fun.
Still that egotist - with reason of course. I'm awesome.

Firstly I should say there are a lot of good people in Glasgow. BUT, as there are a lot of people in Glasgow, there are also a LOT of bad people. The bad people in Glasgow seem to make themselves more visible and sometimes it seems like there are only bad people here but that is not really the case. The people you will come across most often are the "Neds". Neds themselves can be categorised into a number of different categories, all of which are described below.
The Common Ned: The common ned, as the name suggests, is the most common type of ned you will come across in Glasgow. This widespread ned will invariably be kitted out in brightly coloured track suits, which serves as a warning to decent folk to stay away, much like the brightly coloured stripes of a wasp. Another trait borrowed from the animal kingdom is the almost perpendicular cap angle, which can be equated to an animals instinctual response to a threat which may include ears pointing upwards, tail erect, or feathers cocked.
typical ned squad
To continue the animal analogy, these neds will travel in squads, and feel uncomfortable not doing so. Though, as they are so common, you will see many scattered all over the place, not unlike a plague or rats. Curiously, the Common Ned behaves as if he is amidst a plague of rats: trackies tucked into bright white socks stuffed into dazzlingly colourful trainers. Their squad culture gives them more confidence to harass members of the general public and if you see a troop of neds in the street or in a bus shelter or in a local park you may well become a target for their abuse and you may well hear such phrases uttered as 'you're a pure poofy wee prick' or 'look at the state ay you ya dobber' (a particularly ironic one). These phrases vary greatly and it is rare to hear the same line more than once from the same ned.
The Dressed Ned: It should be mentioned that it is rare to find a common ned over the age of 18. When a common ned gets old enough they will no longer wish to hang about in a bus shelter and they will usually graduate to become a 'Dressed Ned'. These neds can be seen in abundance on a Friday or Saturday night in Glasgow city centre. They will usually be wearing clothes which on average would have come to over 300 pounds, not including the tanning parlour fee. They will attend such lovely places as The Moon night club or perhaps Archaos or Destiny or the Savoy or Victorias or Walkabout (previously I would have mentioned Bonkers but the council got some sense on that front). If you wish to see some of these neds but don't wish to go to any of their places you may find it fruitful to hang around the streets at 3am on a weekend night and watch them fight and bottle each other until the sun comes up. I highly recommend the area at the intersection between Sauchihall street and Renfield street as this is truly scumbag central between 2am and 4am every Friday and Saturday night. It is like a little Bermuda triangle of seriously bad clubs and it's a haven for the dressed ned. Why do they all want to be Gareth Gates?
The Beggar Ned: Glasgow just wouldn't be Glasgow without the good old beggar ned. These neds make a (fairly healthy) living out of simply asking people for money in the street. If you give them the money they ask for they wont sing you a song, they wont do you a dance and they probably wont even thank you. Their request for 20p will usually be accompanied by a heart breaking story, but don't worry because the story isn't actually true. Perhaps if they toned it down a bit and made it more believable people would be fooled more often but then intelligence was never a virtue of the beggar ned. These neds will generally look similar to a common ned but only if you took the common ned and rolled him in some mud for a day or two then urinated on him.
The Wee Cheeky Ned: Firstly I should point out that all neds have big mouths, and many are cheeky, but the Cheeky Ned is an astonishingly impudent breed of ned, easily differentiated from the more common varieties. The purveyor of many a mischievous comment, this ned is full of disrespect for and defiance towards everyone and everything. Below average height, face permanently bearing an unsettlingly impish grin, and a voice as of yet unbroken, these tykes can be extremely irritating. And this irritation is amplified by the fact you can do absolutely nothing about it. Whenever you spot one, the chances are they will be surrounded by a scattering of Common Neds and a "Goon ned". It is this ned-curtain that gives them the courage to speak out at anything, and instils them with their legendary defiance. When surrounded by their kind, these neds fear nothing. They will mock any authority, whether it is a security guard, or a train-driver, and square up to people twice their size, separating them from their more common cousins who's cheekiness is largely incidental. So, if you ever trip up in the street in front of a squad of neds, and a mocking, shrill scream followed by elaborate impressions of you, replaces the more common 'ha ha, look at you ya nugget', you'll know that the troop was blessed with a cheeky ned.
The Mad Ned: This ned is quite rare, and will, more often than not, travel alone. Without even a trace of a conscience, the Mad Ned is very dangerous, and if spotted, must be avoided. Do not confuse this type of ned with the typical hard-man of a ned troop. The garden variety hard-man's tough guy image is merely an act of machismo, and will in most cases disappear along with his squad. The Mad Ned is a highly anti-social individual without a twinge of humanity who, when travelling with a squad, is the one described by his pals as having 'taken it too far', whether that be kicking a man to death, or introducing a cat to a firework. So, wherever a ned squad goes too far, a mad ned was travelling with them. Ordinary neds themselves fear them, and behave like sycophants around them.
More commonly, however, perhaps resulting from a slightly psychotic nature, they travel alone, with the aim to destroy people and property. Many have graced our televisions in programmes showing CCTV footage: the man seemingly without purpose, walking down the street at 2am damaging car after car; the unprovoked attack on a passer-by culminating in several stamps to the head; those curious individuals that push a blade into an innocent bystander for no other reason than they were there at the time. Unable to inhibit impulses in their brains like the rest of us, if this ned has a golf club, he will swing it whether he is playing golf or not, rather similar to the way a young child will attack anything and everything if given a plastic sword.
The Goon Ned: Any ned squad worth their kappas has a resident Goon ned, an oversized, vacant eyed galoot of sub-normal intelligence. Their purpose is appealingly simple: the physical protection of the squad. Where there are power vacancies within a squad, this ned will often take charge, a result of his physical prowess rather than his intellectual shrewdness. On the whole, however, the slightly smaller in stature hard man will take charge, and the Goon Ned will usually stick to what he's good at. Though these neds are easy to outwit, and it may be tempting to when face-to-chest with one, it isn't really worth a black eye, which is what you'll get, as physical aggression is the Goon Ned's answer to everything.
The Senga Ned: Like primitive tribes from stone-age times, each squad of neds will have their resident "senga neds". These female neds are quite distinctive in appearance. Senga neds wear pretty much the same clothes as the male neds when they are hanging around the streets or in bus stops, although this can dramatically change to pretty much no clothes if they are planning a trip to "the unders" or to the Moon night club. They are usually covered in bright gold jewelry and sporting gold name tags around their necks. People have been debating for years whether these name tags are to remind the senga of their name or to remind the male neds of the group what one he's "doin'" that night. Senga neds will also sport an abnormal number of gold chains round their necks along with an abnormal number of love bites. About half of all senga neds can be seen in the street usually pushing a pram with a number of children in it and a jacket hanging off of one handle of the pram and with a farm foods bag underneath it. No one knows what's in the farm foods bag. Spotting a senga ned in the street isn't very hard as they are usually heard before they are seen. It is common to hear a piercing shrill a couple of streets away indicating that a senga ned is mad at one of her males or an innocent girl who was passing by. Examples of the cries you may hear are "Av goat tae bring up 4 weans oan ma ain while your oot shaggin" or "whit the fuck were yay lookin at ma man fur ya 'nugly' cow". An aggressive senga is not a pretty sight so it's not advisable to approach one in the street at any time.
The Friendly Ned: This is a highly controversial ned to include but It has been spotted enough times to warrant an inclusion in this list. The friendly ned is a rare creature. It is unlikely that the friendly ned will exist in it's own right. It is more likely that a friendly ned is simply a common ned when he is in a squad of neds but transforms into a friendly ned when he is on his own. The friendly ned will usually be found on public transport and although it can seem slightly intimidating when they initially apporach you, it soon becomes obvious that this ned doesn't actually want to take your money or call you a dafty. He simply wants to participate in an irreverent conversation about football, drinking or fighting. These neds are not very dangerous but it may happen that occasionally when you have been engaged in a conversation with one of them that another common ned may approach causing a change in the friendly back to a common ned so they should be treated with caution. Friendly neds will usually always be male neds. It is extremely rare to find a friendly senga ned.
The Family Man Ned: This ned is predominantly found outside of the city centre. This ned will usually be seen making his way down the road pushing a pram, with at least two other small children trailing behind, on his way to the DSS. These children will almost certainly be fighting with each other or throwing stones at buses and so the family man ned will usually be shouting at them. "Michela, stoap flingin stanes at Charlene". This ned is slightly older than the other neds as he will have at least three children and can be considered as a good example of what happens to a young common ned who does not grow out of neddism. A ned can become trapped inside ned circles if he gets lumbered with a "wean", turning into a family man ned, usually at the ages of 13 to 15.
The Cruiser Ned: It is unusual to find this ned outside a car unless he is being questioned by the police and they are usually only seen from chest level up wearing a burberry base ball cap. These cruiser neds are dedicated to making their cars look as stupid as possible and they regularly congregate at public parks and waste ground to show off how stupid the cars look and how many unnecessary things they have added to their "motors" that week. These neds consume a lot of money to pursue their hobby and so will protect their cars with their life so it is not advisable to do anything to their cars other than point and laugh. Some people may get mixed up between a "cruiser ned" and a "common ned in a clapped out nova". The main difference between the two is that a cruiser ned will travel in circles for a whole night pumping crap music out of the window where as a common ned in a nova will drive fast for a night then set fire to the car.
The Working Ned: This is quite an unusual ned as they are not work shy in the slightest and will work full time hours like the rest of us. They do though, as you would imagine, bring their own touch of nedness to the working environment. The most common type of working ned is the one who gets on a bus in the morning (always the bus, even if a better transport option is available they will get on the bus) and head straight to the back to smoke a fag and discuss the weekend's football/fighting/drinking with his working ned friends. As this ned passes on the bus you will observe a glass bottle of Irn Bru and a Sun/Daily Record rolled up and in his back pocket and those big dirty brown boots with the woollen top on them that they all wear but aren't sold anywhere. Another type of working ned is the office ned. These working neds are not as obvious as the other kind as they are usually required to conform to the shirt and tie dress codes but you can spot one of these working neds by a sly pair of Burberry socks or a cap that comes off before the office is entered. These neds will also usually drive a car with unnecessary things attached to it and will bomb it into and out of the office car park in a show of neddism.
drive carfuly,because every secend a shrak can teleport itself to your car, and try to drive your car (if you have one) with shark in it.

Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY Sports
Having left ESPN, Michelle Beadle will co-host a new NBC Sports Network weekday talk show called The Crossover starting Jan. 28 which will incorporate various new-media tie-ins such as video screens that could flash viral videos.
In the meantime she has been able to catch a lot of football, including the BCS title game Monday on ESPN that included the uproar over Brent Musburger's comments about the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, Katherine Webb.
"It cracked me up," Beadle told USA TODAY Sports. "It's sort of like you go to a restaurant with your dad and he starts flirting with the waitress -- eesh, kind of embarassing.
"But she's a beauty pageant winner and she looked fabulous on the Today show. So I don't know how it could be offensive to call her 'beautiful' or why ESPN had to issue an apology."
For anybody upset, Beadle suggests, don't blame Musburger: "Those shots happen when it's a boring game. So blame Notre Dame."
As to her upcoming show, it sounds a bit like the old weekday talk show -- SportsNation -- that she co-hosted at ESPN.
"I'd be lying if I said we're re-inventing the wheel," Beadle said. "I came from a show trying to not take anything too seriously, which is easy for me. I don't know if we'll introduce anything mind-dropping. But we'll be there for people who don't want arguments or yelling."
Dave Briggs, until recently a host of weekend Fox News' Fox and Friends morning shows, will co-host The Crossover, which will be on weekdays at 6 p.m. ET.
"A lot of people are asking, 'What the heck are they thinking to get a guy from Fox News?' '' Briggs said.
But, he suggests that background will help bring up topics outside sports -- "nothing will be off-limits" -- and that NBC "wanted someone who isn't intimidated by Michelle. And I'm not."
Beadle says she has "no regrets at all" about leaving ESPN, except missing some co-workers. But, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss talking football during this juicy season. Like with Tim Tebow, the poor kid. He's so lovable. But no one talked about him."

|Roaring '20s sets stage for $55,000 MMHF fundraiser
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The roaring '20s took over Holyoke Saturday, Feb. 23 as the Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation hosted the third annual Legacy Event.
Approximately $55,000 was raised at the event. Funds will go toward the hospital's Grow Our Own Physician initiative and equipment for the hospital.
Despite the less-than-pleasant weather that had caused school cancellations in the week, roughly 180 people flocked to the Phillips County Event Center to partake in the event.
Guys in attendance were dressed to the nines in zoot suits and fedoras while the ladies donned their best flapper dresses and feather boas.
Sheena Fix makes rounds with fake cigars and cigarettes in her stylish 1920s garb.
A Model T car was brought in, adding to the '20s atmosphere of the evening.
"This year I was amazed," commented Kim Young, who, along with husband Steve, chaired the event. "There were more people dressed up than ever before. They really got into playing the part."
When patrons showed up, they had to relay the password to the doorman before being permitted in to the party. The act set the mood for the night and highlighted the lengths to which members of the foundation went to ensure another successful Legacy Event.
While sporting the custom swimwear of the '20s, Holyoke Marketplace table attendees, pictured from left, Eric Conklin, Penny Dockins, Melinda Kent, Susan Krueger and Kathleen Hamaker, join Dennis Hamaker, Dolly Smith and Graeme Smith for a photo opportunity at the Legacy Event Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Event Center.
Upon entering, hors d'oeuvres and a full-course meal were prepared by R&B Catering/Allyn Robinson and Kristie's Katering/Bill and Kristie Pelle. Following the dinner were the silent and live auctions. Lloyd Michael handled the auctioneer duties for the night.
Amy Einspahr was named the raffle winner. Einspahr will get to choose from a trip to Chicago's Classic Wrigley Field with rooftop seats and dining experience plus a three-night stay, a trip to New York for a long weekend and three-night stay or a choice of a Fairmont Hotel or Resort stay for four nights at one of the various fantastic vacation destinations.
Ardie Besse, Penny Dockins, Carol Krumm, Dolly Smith and Kayla Kafka kicked off the dance portion of the night with their performance of the Charleston dance routine with some assistance from Steve Young.
Music for the night was provided by Joe Hall, Vicki Lynn Peters and Dan Dobson, together known as The Speakeasies.

Germain Racing, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race team, is home to the No. 13 GEICO Chevy SS driven by Casey Mears. Established in 2004 by Germain brothers Bob, Steve and Rick, Bob Germain Jr. remains at the helm of the Sprint Cup team. The Germain family has been involved in the automotive industry for many years, but the team's formation marked the family's first foray into racing competition.
Just 26 months into its tenure in the NASCAR community, Germain Racing earned its first championship title. The 2006 feat was repeated in 2010. This outstanding success opened the doors for Germain Racing to grow from a Camping World Truck Series team, into a team fielding cars in each of NASCAR's top two series. GEICO joined Germain Racing as a primary sponsor in 2008 for a full-time schedule in NASCAR's number two series. The program grew into a Sprint Cup Series program by season's end.
The first race for Germain in the premier Sprint Cup Series came in 2009 with GEICO and the No. 13 Germain Racing entry. The first Sprint Cup Series top-ten finish came in just the eighth start for Germain Racing - an 8th-place result at Watkins Glen International Raceway. This result was very much in line with the team's history of on-track success.
Today, Germain Racing is located in Mooresville, N.C., on a 3-acre campus with two buildings, 52,000 sq. ft of shop and office space, paint and body shops, multiple surface plates, a four-post rig, two epoxy setup plates and a chassis dyno.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- Rovi Faber's one bedroom apartment in Bethesda, Maryland was always big enough for her. But recently she turned part of her home into the headquarters of her growing non-profit organization. Rovi started Pull Tabs For Charity in celebration of her only daughter Jody's life.
"Jody was collecting tabs for Ronald McDonals' House Charities and it seemed natural to us to want to continue in her memory," she said.
In 1998, Jody was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast cancer; which then spread to her brain. Doctors only gave Jody about 5-months. But she defied the odds and lived 6 years and 5 months.
Instead of giving into her grief and sadness, Rovi chose to give back and started pulling tabs. She has taken Pull Tabs For Charity across the country. There are 680 processing sites in 47 states and 5 countries. Rovi has even gotten the military on board. Army brigades in war zones, plus sailors and marines on battleships have all donated. At this time she has collected thousands of pounds of tabs at 75-cents a pound. The program only takes the tabs no cans.
Rovi hopes to get young people to take up her challenge. She told us if just one student out of a hundred would collect a pound a year, the charity could donate $575,000 to National Cancer Institute and Ronald McDonald House charities.
Rovi also said, "I feel confident that my daughter Jody is smiling from ear to ear knowing her dream has become a reality."
Not everyone will want to pull tabs but another way to help out the Pull Tab charity is by wearing tabs. Money raised from the sale of purses and jewelry made from all pull tabs will also go to cancer research .

I'm a non-resident in utah and I was lucky enough to be charged $1500+ for either my once-in-a-lifetime moose, sheep, or goat. Suspense is killing me not knowing which it is!!!
Still no charges for me.......can I still keep up hope or is it all over?
When I get on the Utah DWR website and look at the My Application History tab it doesn't show 2013 on there. I thought it would say pending or something so I called the DWR and the lady I talked to said it doesn't show up until the draw is over. What does it look like when you guys get on yours? I am worried that my application didn't go through for some reason. I am a nonresident by the way.

I would choose 62 and cross off 80, its overrated.
Doing our research for 2014 and where I figure we could likely draw, and also give decent land access as well. By no means engraved in stone but I have things narrowed down to 62-1, 67, and 80. Anyone familiar with and able to provide any feedback on these areas? Other zones I haven't listed but should be considering?
I would choose 62 and cross off 80, its overrated.
Sorry meant to include areas 77 and 78 on my list as well.
Thanks again!
I would wait to see how the rest of the winter and early spring goes and wait for the MRS to come out. Alot could change between now and app time. How many points do you have?
We are sitting at 5.67 points when our group points are averaged. As a side note it has been a pile of years since, but in the past we've hunted 75 and 92.
Last edited by Duk Dog; 02-08-2014 at 09:06 AM.
With 5+ points you guys should be able to draw a very good unit and I think any unit that takes 5 points to draw will have good access/amount of public land. Drawing odds are usually closely related to access. I havent hunted the units you mentioned but its hard to have a bad antelope hunt in WY in any unit with 1/2 decent access.

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, August 17, 2012
Brandon Larrabee, The News Service of Florida
Florida's voter purge will move ahead after the federal government finalized an agreement to allow the state to access records that could detect non-citizens on the voting rolls, Secretary of State Ken Detzner announced Thursday.
Detzner said the memorandum of agreement with the Department of Homeland Security would allow the state to continue with its scrubbing of the rolls, this time using the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlement Programs, or SAVE, database.
That would replace a state system, built on driver's licenses and voter registration records, that Detzner's department stopped relying on after critics said it was riddled with inaccuracies.
"We have an obligation to ensure Florida?s voter rolls are accurate, and accessing the SAVE database greatly improves our ability to accomplish that goal, as well as ensure the overall integrity of our elections," Detzner said in a statement issued by his office.
The decision was a blow to opponents of the purge, who have pushed in a variety of lawsuits to stop further efforts to remove voters from the rolls. The Department of State had already stopped the program by the time the first lawsuit was heard, saying that the initial sample of 2,600 names had proven that ineligible voters had cast ballots even though local elections supervisors said many of the voters whose names were provided to them were, in fact, eligible.
Those 2,600 names, submitted in April, will be the first ones checked against the SAVE database, Detzner said.
A federal court in June rejected a request by the U.S. Department of Justice to bar the state from taking any more steps toward carrying out its purge program but said concerns that eligible voters could be removed from the list were significant.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said the state could pursue the removal of non-citizens within 90 days of a federal election, paving the way for some version of the scrubbing to continue, especially if the state gained access to SAVE and could prove the effort isn't discriminatory.
Detzner had already made it clear during a press conference Tuesday, held to coincide with the state's primary elections, that his department intended to push forward with the purge once it got access to SAVE.
One of the organizations suing in federal court issued a statement Wednesday cautioning Detzner to proceed carefully. Critics contend that, even with the more accurate SAVE database, there is a chance that legitimate voters could be mistakenly removed from the rolls.
"Florida has not released the process it will undertake to review the voter rolls and use the SAVE program to verify citizenship," said Ben Hovland, senior counsel for the Fair Elections Legal Network. "What we do know is that Florida has a history of inaccurate list matching efforts that have jeopardized thousands of Floridians' right to vote. With the November election quickly approaching, the Florida Secretary of State?s office should avoid any action that will inappropriately remove eligible citizens from the voting rolls."

|Youth camps offer robotics and GPS/GIS technologies
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Colorado State University Extension is offering a new summer camp called GEAR-Tech-21 aimed at introducing youth to robotics and GPS/GIS technologies.
Youth age 10-14 years may attend the day camps at three sites in northeast Colorado—Akron, Holyoke and Yuma.
Over the span of four days, youth will do hands-on learning in two very current and rapidly changing technology fields.
In the mornings they will learn about what makes a GarminTM or TomtomTM work to guide and give directions, global positioning systems (satellite positioning) and geospatial information systems (mapping).
In the afternoons, the youth will build and program the Lego NXT™ Robots and learn some of the computer science that makes for some fun toys as well as smart tools.
The GEAR-Tech-21 Camp is set for June 3-6 at Sterling High School, June 10-13 at the Washington County Event Center in Akron, July 8-11 at the Phillips County Event Center in Holyoke and July 22-25 at the Morgan County Event Center in Brush.
The Gear-Tech-21 Level 2 Camp will be held July 15-18 at the Yuma County Fairgrounds for any youth from the 2012 camps that want to take it to the next level.
The day camps will run from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. each day, with all camp materials, lunch and snacks provided.
With partial funding support from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the National Science Foundation, the camp fees have been kept very low.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The victims in the double fatal fire, in Southeast, DC have been identified by police.
Glenn Morris Williams, 51, and Diane Toogood, 56, were both pronounced dead after a fire at the 1700 block of R Street at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, police said.
"At this time the cause of the fire has not been determined and is pending further investigation," DC police said in a news release.
Fire officials say Williams's and Toogood's bodies were so charred that investigators had trouble identifying their bodies.
Three D.C. firefighters received minor injuries fighting the two-alarm fire.
Neighbors say the building was supposed to be vacant. Boards had been covering the doors and windows to keep squatters out.
Deputy DC Fire Chief Ed Pearson theorized the man and woman may have taken up residence to escape the freezing temperatures.
Neighbors say people had been in the vacant building and causing
disturbances for quite some time.

NNSA's Office of Emergency Operations recently hosted Illinois emergency responders during an Aerial Measuring System (AMS) Technical Exchange meeting at NNSA's Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) in Las Vegas, Nev.
The technical exchange consisted of sharing information regarding techniques, processes, systems, capabilities and data analysis for aerial radiological measuring. As part of the exchange, AMS flights were conducted in the Las Vegas area and at the Nevada National Security Site.
The Illinois AMS Technical Exchange involved the state's Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Illinois Department of Transportation representatives exchanging information with members of the NNSA AMS and Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) teams. The primary goal was to discuss how the state and federal emergency response units can effectively collaborate when responding to nuclear/radiological events.
The exchange was part of NNSA's ongoing emergency preparedness and response outreach. NNSA currently collaborates with multiple domestic and international organizations on projects to improve emergency preparedness and response programs, as well as on activities to improve emergency management infrastructure worldwide.

Secretary Moniz and Director General of the Russian Federation State Corporation "Rosatom" Sergey Kirienko signed an agreement this week to further collaborate on nuclear and energy-related research and development. The agreement was signed at the IAEA General Conference being held this week in Vienna, Austria. It includes research being done at laboratories, institutes and facilities and covers topics such as nuclear technology, nonproliferation, fundamental and applied science, energy and environment. It expands on and complements a prior agreement that was signed in January 2011.
Contributing to DOE/NNSA's efforts to support the Office of Personnel Management's Feds Feed Families campaign to collect non-perishable food items for food banks across the country, NNSA's Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) removed more than one ton of food from their pantries and store shelves; safely and securely transporting it to local food banks where it will be used to assist local area families in need. This year's collection of 2,185.8 pounds of foods shattered last year's total of 1,115.6 pounds of food donated to Washington, D.C., area food banks. This effort directly supported the DOE-wide efforts of collecting more that 190,000 pounds of non-perishable food items and household goods, that was donated to local food banks for direct distribution to those in need in the D.C. area.
For more than 70 years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has been a frontrunner in explosives research, development and applications. To highlight the LANL's work in the field of explosives, the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos is opening a new exhibit titled "The Science of Explosives" on Sept. 18.
The exhibit shows in pictures, words and videos how decades of cutting-edge research has made the Laboratory a worldwide leader in explosives applications. It will feature LANL's work with explosives, from synthesis of new molecules to waste treatment. The exhibit also examines a variety of scenarios with many applications, ranging from explosives assessment and lethality to detonation and wave physics and blast effects.

Dear Editor:
It is really getting sad and disturbing on how this country has changed.
For instance, I have been reading the Freeman for over 50 years and at this time of the year in the past you would say, "Let us see your Christmas lights." Now it is, "Let us see your holiday lights." The holiday is Christmas, so call it what it is.
During Hanukkah, people do not say Happy Holiday. They say Happy Hanukkah, which you also print in your newspaper.
Cinco de Mayo festival in Kingston is celebrated every year. They do not advertise it as a holiday festival; it is Cinco de Mayo.
In the stores, it is holiday gifts.
Let's be real. The holiday is Christmas. It is OK to spend your money on so-called holiday gifts, but give to your loved ones, etc., on Christmas morning. If Christmas cannot be celebrated the way it should be, the stores should not sell Christmas lights. The presents are called Christmas presents.
This country is falling into a no-fight-for-rights country. If we let a small group of people change the way we have celebrated Christmas, then we will be in the future. Let the terrorists tell us which God we should worship and when we can.
Do not buy so-called holiday gifts and give them as Christmas gifts on the morning of Dec. 25. That makes you a hypocrite.
Black Friday is known as the first day of Christmas shopping. It is OK to use the word Christmas then. If you take the stripes off a zebra it is still a zebra.
So no matter how you look at it, Christmas is Christmas and should be celebrated as it has in the past.
We Americans should not let non-Christian people tell us how to celebrate this holy day.
Not only Christian people celebrate Christmas. All people around the world recognize Christmas.
Stop buying the gifts to make the rich richer. Stand up for your rights.
RICHARD T. CANTWELL Sr.

Meridian's tallest structure has been empty for years now and talk about what to do with the building comes and goes.
A fire on the 12th floor of the Threefoot building is still under investigation, according to Meridian Mayor Cheri Barry. However, the fire has prompted discussion about what should be done with the building.
"The city does not have the money to renovate the property, Barry points out. "Nor do we have the money to take it down. So, we're looking very actively for entrepreneurs that want to come in and be part of the growth of our community."
Mayor Barry says arts and entertainment and healthcare is what the city has to offer and what it would be able to sell best. She says a Health Care Industry Zone Act, signed into law by Governor Phil Bryant, is a good opportunity for businesses to come since incentives are provided to healthcare businesses, all the while expanding access to high-quality medical care and the number of health care jobs.
"So, I think if we clean up our community," Barry says. "And if we have a strong and viable, safe community to live in, then you're going to see a lot of business opportunities for people coming in. We have a very strong health care in Meridian, Mississippi."
As for those who think there is no hope for the Threefoot building and that it should be brought down, Barry says she is hopeful that it might be renovated.

Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
As poisons go, ricin has humble origins, produced in the waste "mash" left over in making castor oil. Letters sent to President Obama and several senators have raised new fears about a poison favored in the past by spies, soldiers and domestic terrorists.
Ricin stops cells in the body from producing the proteins that keep us alive, killing people within 36 to 72 hours. It can kill after being eaten, inhaled or injected, as happened in 1978 to a Bulgarian writer, Georgi Markov, assassinated with a poison-tipped umbrella. More recently, letters containing ricin were sent in 2003 and 2004 to the White House, by someone unhappy about trucking safety regulations. No one was injured.
The poison is described as very toxic by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "several times deadlier than cobra venom." That explains the concern about letters containing the poison. As little as three milligrams of the stuff could be deadly if inhaled by someone opening an envelope containing "aerosolized" ricin. Creating such a powder would require a great deal of expertise, according to the CDC. Just touching ricin would only cause irritation to the eyes or skin, but not kill.
Ricin is not contagious. The symptoms of ricin poisoning depend on how it is delivered: difficulty breathing, fever and coughing as soon as four hours afterward if inhaled, and bloody diarrhea within 10 hours of being eaten. There is no cure for the poison, only treatment to alleviate the symptoms.

Oceanside earns crucial victory
1 2 Next page >
There was no way for Oceanside coach Dan Keegan to downplay the importance of a win to open the second half of the Nassau Conference AA-I boys' basketball schedule with the Sailors sitting at 2-4 and mired in a three-game slide.
"We had to treat it like a playoff game," he said of the Jan. 17 matchup against visiting Massapequa. "It's a huge climb back into playoff contention at 2-5, so we didn't want to be in that predicament."
Though the Sailors struggled with outside shooting, hitting just three shots from behind the arc, they executed down the stretch and pulled out a 54-49 victory behind senior center Hunter Sabety's 26 points and 17 rebounds. Sabety, who put on a show with five dunks on the night, scored 11 of the team's 13 fourth-quarter points. Senior Jonah Kaplan (13) and junior Casey Kelly (10) also scored in double figures.
"They played a lot of packed-in zone, and we weren't terribly efficient from the outside," Keegan explained. "It's not like us to make only three threes, but we were good in crunch time. Our defensive intensity and good execution late in the game won it."
Oceanside (6-6 overall) avenged a loss to the Chiefs in the conference opener and moved within a half-game of Hempstead for the fourth and final playoff spot in AA-I. Massapequa, which got 19 points from Dylan Balducci and 12 from Ryan McGuire, fell to 2-5. "Losing this game would have been a double whammy," Keegan said. "Not only would we be 2-5, but we'd be behind Massapequa with two losses to them. We're not firing rockets into the sky, but everyone knows this was a big one."
After being outscored by a dozen points by the Chiefs in the first meeting, the Sailors turned the table in the rematch. They trailed by four after the opening quarter but used a 16-10 second-quarter run to lead by a basket at the half. The advantage swelled to nine heading into the fourth, but the game was deadlocked with three minutes to go.
"We've got a mature team and we've been in battles like that before," Keegan said. "I think our experience in pressure situations showed."

Anyone use Vortex binos? How do they compare to the bigger companies products?
Anyone use Vortex binos? How do they compare to the bigger companies products?
I have used a pair of 10x42 Diamondbacks for a few years now. I found several "blemished" pairs for sale on CameralandNY that only had some minor color issues externally so I could not pass up the super deal they had on them.
After using them and comparing them to a few other companies products I feel they are pretty decent middle of the road glass. I have compared them side by side with Nikons EDG's, Leicas, and Swaros. Myself and hunting partners agreed that the Diamondbacks were every bit as good as the EDG's but can't compare to either the Leicas or the Swaros. Using them at distances under a half mile with reasonable amount of light they fit the bill very nicely and provide a crisp, clear image. It becomes very apparant that they are cheaper glass when using them in low light conditions and at extreme distances when comparing to the two high end pieces of glass mentioned above.
With that being said, I don't regret purchasing them as they fit my budget at the time and I certainly feel I have received my money's worth from them. I did have one warranty repair when an eye cup came loose and Vortex repaired them in very short order with no charge to me other than shipping one way.
As my budget increases I am looking much more at the Swaro 10x42 EL's for my next set of binocs.
good bin's. lots of info already posted about them if you scroll down this topic page.
I was really impressed with the Vipers for that price range but not so much with the Diamondbacks. If I didn't have a pair of Zeiss I would be using some Vortex Razors for sure.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
I looked at them at cabelas the other night. Yeah the diamondbacks were alright, but when you get to the talons or the other models with HD glass they are really impressive! Now i'm not sure if i want to go with the Talons or send the extra money on the Razors.
I spend a lot of time glassing and I love my Kaibabs!!!
Love my Diamondbacks 10x42. I have had no problems in low light or at distances.
Vortex Razor HD binoculars compete with just about anything on the market. The Talon HDs are another version of the Zen Ray ED2, and so are also great binoculars. Vortex Diamondbacks are a super value and far outperform their price point.
The Vipers don't offer anything over the Talon HDs, IMO, and the Talons are cheaper than the Vipers.
I have the Kaibabs and they are great. Super clear and work great on a tripod.
Love my 10x42 Vipers.

Perfect helmet!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First off this is a beautiful helmet. I bought the "Italy" color scheme and wouldn't change anything about it. Most importantly this helmet fits great! It's the most expensive helmet I've owned so I can't compare to anything similar but I can't. This is an EXCELLENT buy that I wouldn't have a problem paying full price for.

I need to setup a "filter-like" rule on our mail server, which will copy an email regarding some header checking in the "Subject" field. Regarding the documentation from Postfix and the Zimbra's Wiki, I achieved part of what it supposed to be done.
1. zmprov mcf zimbraMtaBlockedExtensionWarnRecipient FALSE (in order to allow postfix to be able to read filter rules for headers)
2. zmlocalconfig -e postfix_header_checks="/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks, pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/fwd_header_checks" (adding new file for reading)
3. added the following matching rules for headers: /^Subject:.*Fwd:*/ REDIRECT firstname.lastname@example.com
This is working like a charm, BUT, it redirects everything without delivering the message. So, anyone here aware is there any other options beside REDIRECT which can be used to deliver the message, and then redirect it to the targeting email?
Or such header checking should be added in spam/antivirus configuration?

MOUNDSVILLE - Coming off of impressive Friday night victories, West Virginia Class AAA, Region One rivals Brooke and John Marshall were both looking to put the finishing touches on a nice, successful weekend Saturday night.
While Monarchs coach Bill Storm hoped his team might feed off the momentum it seemed to gain in a victory against Union Local, it was Dave Reitter's Bruins that managed to stay hot and record a second triumph in as many nights.
Brooke (12-7) started slow, but managed to take advantage of John Marshall's foul trouble in the second quarter to get some separation on the way to a 55-44 victory against the Monarchs (5-11) at the John Marshall Field House.
Having watched his team struggle scoring points all season long, Storm had hoped that the Monarchs' 77 points and 62 percent showing from the floor on Friday might provide the spark the Monarchs needed to get something going. But for whatever reason his team was just 1 of 10 in the first quarter for six points, and finished 16 of 57 for a meager 28 percent for the game.
"Other than (Friday), we seem to have at least one quarter every game that we score in single figures and it comes back to haunt us," Storm said. "I really thought the kids would come out feeling good after that win, and I thought we had some energy early, but when the ball isn't falling through the basket, and you can't score points, you are in trouble."
Both teams seemed to be in trouble early, as John Marshall led 4-0 with 3:59 showing in the first on its first field goal before senior Jessie Gambellin finally got the Bruins going with their initial tally on a put-back at the three-minute mark. The Monarchs made it a 6-2 game, however, Brooke scored the final 10 points of the frame to lead 12-6 after one.
Reitter's club seemed to take control with an 11-0 burst midway through the second that pushed the count to 27-13, but John Marshall answered with a closing 7-0 spurt for a 27-20 reading at halftime. Brooke's run came with seniors Evan Magers and Cole Sobutka both sitting on the pine with a pair of fouls each.
"Those two kids (Magers and Sobutka) play hard and I felt we did a good job taking advantage of them being on the bench," Reitter admitted. "We missed some shots inside early, but our bigs really started banging in there and it made a difference."
The third quarter turned out to be the difference maker, with the Bruins leading by as many as 18 points at 42-24 before settling for a 47-32 margin after three. A Gambellin deuce at 3:50 provided the biggest lead of the night at 53-33 before Brooke equaled it a short time later.
"I think both teams got off to a little bit of a slow start, but both were also coming off of big games Friday night," Reitter added. "When we started attacking the basket things started happening for us. Our kids were throwing around them and it helped get some easy baskets.
"We came out in a man-to-man in the third and was able to jump a couple of passes and get some break-outs. We are a much better team pushing the ball up the court. Overall, this is two very good wins for us in two nights. It is always good to beat a regional rival, but coming a night after beating Steubenville makes it even better."
For Storm it is all about his team improving down the stretch before the tournament.
"I really felt they were ripe to be beaten with (Hunter) Wallace out of the lineup," Storm said. "And we had opportunities early, but just didn't take advantage of them. I think we made some strides in some areas, but we just have to keep getting better.
"It was disappointing how we played (Saturday), we played hard late and stayed in the game, but I really expected more after Friday."
Eric Johnson paced the Bruins with 14 markers while freshman Thomas Cole had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Tanner Filben was John Marshall's only double-figure scorer with 13 tallies.

Standon Calling 2012 festival boasts biggest line-up to date
10:35 18 May 2012
Standon Calling has firmly established itself as a don't miss festival, bursting at the seams with things to do and see but this year's line-up is its biggest to date.
Just a hop, skip and a jump away from London in Hertfordshire (you can get there easily on public transport), headline acts include Death in Vegas, Fat Freddy's Drop and dance-punk's finest, California's !!! (Chk Chk Chk) playing their only UK festival show. Beatbox, MC, musician and all-round vocal genius, Beardyman is also a major scoop for the intimate festival, set on a country estate with a swimming pool- the perfect antidote to all-night partying.
Willy Mason's headline performance on The Lordship stage promises to be special while the hotly tipped lo-fi duo BIGkids will bring samples, saxophones and sunshine singalongs.
The theme for this year's Standon is Journey to the Ends of the Earth. Fields will be transformed into every unexplored corner of the world where you can watch acrobats swing from the Amazonian branches of the tree bar, discover creatures of the deep in the pool and dance late into the night with fantastical creatures in the Cowshed Club.
The next morning take to the skies in a hot air balloon for an 80-second ride before crash landing at the feet of the giants of Gulliver's Travels.
There will be DJ outposts across the site to encourage late-night shenanigans, with help from Dig It Soundsystem - a big, bad portable bike-pulled boombox that has become a favourite at Standon.
The Groove Garden disco and chillout space centred around a customised garden shed will have games and face painting and the ever-popular Rockaoke returns once again.
The festival takes place 11-14 August in Standon, Hertfordshire.
Adult weekend: £99 / adult two-day: £78 / adult Friday: £25 / adult Saturday: £39 / adult Sunday: £39
Fancy camping in style? This year Standon has three boutique camping different options – bell tents, tipis and yurts – which all come in varying sizes.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) State officials say sex offenders will remain at the Fort Des Moines correctional facility on the city's south side indefinitely after funding for a new facility was rescinded.
Lawmakers retracted $18 million that had been allocated to build a new facility elsewhere but have appropriated $1 million to build a wall to separate the facility from the Blank Park Zoo.
The Fort Des Moines facility houses 217 offenders, including about 20 sex offenders.
Iowa Corrections Director John Baldwin said Friday that he was ``exceptionally disappointed'' that lawmakers retracted the money for a new 170-bed community corrections facility.
Jo Corigliano is president of the South Side Revitalization Partnership. She says she thinks it's ``horrible'' that sex offenders will remain at Fort Des Moines.
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) Authorities have found what appear to be human remains at a rural Scott County property where a man was reported missing in 2009.
Officers from the Scott County sheriff's office and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation searched the property Friday and found what appeared to be human remains in a pile of debris. Investigators will continue recovering the remains and plan an autopsy.
It's unclear whether the remains are those of David Lee Spriet Jr., who had lived at the property. The sheriff's office says the 51-year-old man was last seen in February 2009 and was reported missing last June.
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) Police in Waterloo say four people were injured there in an apparent stabbing incident.
Authorities say the incident occurred shortly before 3 p.m. Friday.
There had been no arrests by Friday evening, and the investigation was ongoing.
Upon arrival, officers located one victim, 25-year-old Andre Maurice Hamilton, still at the scene. Hamilton had a six-inch laceration across the right side of this back and a two-inch cut on his chest. He was transported to Allen Hospital by ambulance.
A short time later, three other victims arrived at Covenant Hospital by private vehicle. They were identified as 31-year-old Christopher Alexand Thompson, 18-year-old Antwone Charles Rucker, and 22-year-old Antonio Clinton Rucker.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Iowa City police say a local man was charged with drunken driving after hitting two bicyclists.
Twenty-two-year-old Colton McMaster was arrested and charged with second-offense drunken driving Friday night.
Police say his vehicle was stopped at an intersection and waiting to turn. He allegedly struck the bicyclists as they tried to cross the intersection after the light changed.
Police say 35-year-old Lynn Harrison and 20-year-old Nico Beckerman were taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) A West Burlington tavern owner says he won't appeal an Iowa District Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the state's Smokefree Air Act, which bans smoking in most public places.
Darwin Bunger, an attorney for tavern owner Larry Duncan, said Friday that Duncan still believes the smoking ban is unconstitutional, but there was no guarantee that he would have won an appeal. Losing an appeal would have resulted in a two-year liquor license revocation.
Bunger said that in a settlement with the state, Duncan will accept a 60-day license suspension and will agree to comply with the smoking ban in the future. The suspension will be cut to 50 days because Duncan's tavern, which is known as Otis Campbell's Bar and Grill, was already shut down for 10 days last year.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Former Cedar Rapids gymnast and businessman George Nissen, who built the world's first modern trampoline, has died at age 96.
International Gymnastics Magazine reports that Nissen died Wednesday in San Diego, Calif., from complications of pneumonia.
The Blairstown, Iowa, native came up with the trampoline idea while training as a gymnast at the University of Iowa, basing it on the safety nets used by circus performers. He and his coach, Larry Griswold, built their prototype in Nissen's mother's garage during the late 1930s. In 1941, their Griswold-Nissen Trampoline Tumbling Co. began commercial manufacture in Cedar Rapids.
In 2000, Nissen was a special guest at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia the first to include trampoline as an official sport.
Nissen is survived by his wife, Annie, and two daughters.

Dear Editor:
Public education is a monopoly. Monopolies don't do well in any kind of business or education.
Public schools are like the old Ma-Bell AT&T telephone monopoly. Remember the clunky phones that ATT&T sold us? What happened when the telephone monopoly was abolished in favor of open competition? We have a vibrant competitivetelephone business environment which is selling us the products that we want and enjoy, i.e. Galaxy, Iphone, Ipad, Razr, etc. This is what we should want for our children: a vibrant competitive advancing education environment, nothing less.
Holding back our children's education and paying exorbitant taxes to pay inflated teachers union contracts has got to stop. We need competition through school vouchers, just like we have competition at the college level today via Pell grants. It is the very same thing.

I'm on my way home from my first Pulse event in Slots Vegas, the people watching capital of the solar system. It was an extremely productive five days on many levels, but that's another blog post for another day.
For now, I wanted to offer my belated perspective on the IBM vs Jeopardy challenge.
Two weeks ago, as I was walking down the sleepy hallways of the IBM Southbury facility, I noticed a small flyer hanging on the wall near the cafeteria. As I got closer to it, the familiar JEOPARDY logo caught my eye. The flyer was promoting the Watson Jeopardy challenge, and encouraged employees and their families to watch it live in the IBM auditorium later that week.
My immediate thought was that it had been at least five years since I had been invited to an after-hours IBM function in the building. I then realized that this would be a great and increasingly rare opportunity to gather my wife and two kids together for an impromptu "family night" activity . (Now that my kids are getting older, and are more and more immersed in the social and sports scenes around town, I recognize how special and valuable these little family outings can be).
After a quick trip over to Subway for a couple of $5 footlongs, we headed up to the sprawling IBM campus. As we strolled through the darkened hallways, my wife and I got my kids up to speed on what they were about to witness. In order to make it even more of a tangible experience for them, we took a quick detour past the enormous server farms in the "B" building. Once there, we peeked through the small glass pane at the top of door, and I pointed to a cluster of servers that was similar in stature to Watson. My 10 year old son stared at the large black mass of iron, which was as tall and wide as about 10 refrigerators, and asked where the monitor was.
When we arrived outside the auditorium, I was surprised at how many other IBMers (and THEIR families) had also heeded the call to attend this event. However, I was even more surprised at the spread of food that was laid out by the catering staff: everything from crudite to mini-quiches, to swedish style meatballs and chicken skewers (why did I eat that entire footlong!!).
As we entered the near full auditorium, one of the engineers from the Watson project was providing some history of the supercomputer that was about to challenge the two most successful Jeopardy contestants in the history of the show. Despite the extremely reader-unfriendly powerpoint charts that our host was speaking to (he should have had marketing create them!), my son and 14 year old daughter seemed highly engaged in the presentation and discussion. Of course, their enthusiasm was soon severely dampened when the host asked if there were any questions, and their inquisitive dad quickly raised his hand.
When the game started, my 10 year old (who had never seen Jeopardy before) was clearly engaged, and was openly rooting for the smart planet placard with the funny robotic voice in the middle slot. My daughter was thrilled to see a category on fashion, and was nearly elated to actually answer two of those questions correctly!
As the game progressed, nearly everyone in the room began to cheer Watson on. We all laughed out loud when Watson wagered odd amounts of money, and groaned as one when Watson missed a question that WE all knew the answer to.
When Watson answered his Double Jeopardy question correctly, a loud roar emanated from the home crowd. Machine had bested man, and my kids were clapping as loud as anyone in the room.
It was a historic night for IBM, a fun family night for my wife and I, and an evening that I'm betting my kids will remember for a long time.
...Oh and by the way, as a result of asking a question during the pre-screening, I received a cool mustard colored IBM t-shirt with the old school logo, which my daughter quickly adopted and inserted into the top of her pajama rotation.
