Storm Lake Woman Sentenced for Theft of City Funds
STORM LAKE, Iowa (AP) - A 43-year-old woman has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for stealing money from the northwest Iowa city of Storm Lake.
The Sioux City Journal reports (http://bit.ly/JgqOHc ) that Lee Martin was sentenced Monday for felony theft. A second felony charge was dropped as part of Martin's plea deal.
Martin pleaded guilty last month to taking more than $68,500 between December 2010 and November 2011. She worked for the city for 21 years and was office manager for Storm Lake Public Safety
Buena Vista County Attorney Dave Patton says there is no minimum sentence, so Martin could be released on parole as soon as a few months from now.

So, browsing the different mounts that are available from various companies, many of them employ similar type names. Some may even be the same mount just renamed from another company. For example, Celestron has a CG4 and CG5. Skywatcher has a EQ5 Pro and an overseas EQ5, HEQ5 and then there are Orion names ot various similar mounts. Does anyone have a spreadsheet that shows similarities of these mounts? Antares also as a EQ5 that can either come with 1.5 inch or 2 inch steel tripod legs. This mount looks close to the EQ5 pro from skywatcher. It just gets awefully confusing. And then the same mount accross companies have different weight ratings, even though the mount may be identicle.
Set me straight on mounts

REGIONALREPORT TriangleClothier goes domestic
Rachel Weeks, 27, did something radical last year. The CEO of Durham-based School House Inc., which makes high-end college apparel, moved manufacturing from Sri Lanka to North Carolina swimming against the current of companies moving production offshore. It seems to be paying off. Her company, which sells mostly to college bookstores, anticipates having its first profitable year in 2012.
How did you get started?
When I was at Duke University, I got $20,000 from a car accident. I moved to Sri Lanka after graduation and decided it was now or never. I hired a designer that I found online and contracted with a factory there.
Why bring manufacturing here?
The three visits a year I was making to Sri Lanka at $5,000 apiece, employing a quality-control team, shipping costs when you added those things up, the difference between there and here was negligible. Its also dependent on having a higher-end product.
Its very hard to be cost competitive without a larger profit margin. Were able to absorb some of those added costs.
Does manufacturing domestically help sales?
Im not asking people to buy this product because its made in America sport apparel needed more fashion-driven merchandise. I did think this market would be responsive to socially responsible branding.
What do you mean by socially responsible?
What Ive become passionate about is valuing the human capital in the supply chain. In Sri Lanka, we made our manufacturer pay a living wage of $170 a month rather than $60.
Have you done that here?
Forcing that in North Carolina has been tougher because School House is a small portion of these places production.
Does being ethical matter to the bottom line?
We are in a new consumer era when peoples money is personal, and they want to buy brands theyre connected to.
Is that message reaching consumers?
We just hired a marketing director a few months ago. We have a long way to go to carve out a brand identity, but were starting to do that.
Forbes magazine is sweet on the Raleigh-Cary metro. It recently named A10 Clinical Solutions Inc., a Cary-based health-care equipment and services provider, the states most promising company (No. 48 nationally). But thats only the most recent honor its awarded the metro.
No. 4 Best Cities for Technology Jobs, 2011
No. 1 Best Places for Business and Careers, 2011
No. 2 Next Big Boom Towns in the U.S., 2011

DURHAM Bruce Karsh, a Duke University trustee and investment manager, and his wife have given $50 million to the school to help pay for undergraduate tuition. About $30 million will go to U.S. students, with the rest for international students. The donation is the largest made by individuals to support financial aid in Dukes history.
RALEIGH Bulk TV & Internet will increase its local workforce from 62 to more than 100 over the next year. The company sells DirecTV satellite service and plans to hotels, hospitals and restaurants.
RALEIGH The Gores Group, a Los Angeles private-equity firm that bought controlling interest in Stock Building Supply in 2009, paid an undisclosed amount for the remaining 49% of stock. Terms of the deal werent disclosed.
RALEIGH Alex Pinchev, president of Red Hats global sales, services and field marketing organizations, is leaving the company this month to become CEO of a data-protection software company. Red Hat sells and services the Linux computer-operating system.
CARY The Internal Revenue Service signed a $6.25 million deal with SAS Institute to use the technology companys software to detect, prevent and resolve tax crimes. It is unknown when it will be implemented. All 15 U.S. federal departments will now use the companys software.
TRIANGLE Triangle home sales increased 12% in October compared with the same month in 2010. Wake and Johnston counties had the highest increases with about 20% and 19%, respectively. New listings decreased 17% over the same period, from 3,102 to 2,650.

It's a jolly Holly Day at the Clay Center Friday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For 14 years, dating back to the days of Sunrise Museum, families have found fun on the day after Thanksgiving with the annual Holly Day event. Now held at the Clay Center, it not only provides family-friendly activities but also serves as the opening of the annual holiday art and planetarium shows.
Holly Day itself runs noon to 4 p.m. Friday, though the center is open for its regular 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours.
In the "Holly Field Day," children can play Stocking Stuffing and try to toss "coal" (bean bags) into stockings at 12:30 p.m., participate in a tree-decorating relay at 1:30 p.m. and play Pass the Ornament at 2:30 p.m.
Art activities run noon to 4 p.m. Reindeer hat and holiday card crafts are free; ornaments cost $2 each to make.
At noon, Earth City, in the Avampato Discovery Museum, will have a holiday lighting ceremony. "Shivering Science" demonstrations are at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. The main man, Mr. Santa Claus himself, visits at noon, 2 and 3:30 p.m.
Art exhibit
The art gallery's holiday exhibit is "Traditions: A Celebration of Heritage." On display through Dec. 30, it features decorated trees as well as fine art works by emerging West Virginia artists.
"This year, our theme is traditions, focusing on holiday traditions," said Clay Center lead educator Kayte Brannon, who is overseeing the exhibit. "It's everyone's take on tradition. It's a lot of fun with a lot of whimsical trees and a lot of really neat ideas."
Among the trees is Janet Hager's "Holiday Barbies Through the Years."
"Apparently, they've made one holiday Barbie a year since 1988," Brannon said. "This artist is displaying them all on one tree."
Other tree designers are Bob Henry Baber, Dan Connery, Chris Dutch and Robin Hammer, the Fioravante family (Penny, Gianna, Angelo and Marcus), Bobbi Galloway and Girl Scout Troop 2874, Joshua Jones and Cindy and Butch Walton.
The fine arts portion has works by Laura Alvis, Samantha Mosby Belcher, Adrian Blackstock, Ian Bode, R. Michael Bowen, Glen Brogan, Kelly Bryant, Rob Cleland, Mary Grassell, Rebecco Recco and Megan Schultz.
Also opening in the gallery on Friday is the "WV Contemporary Quilt Invitational" organized by the Kanawha Valley Quilters Guild. It's on display through March.
Planetarium show
"Reason for the Season" is the annual holiday planetarium show. While it does look at some of the different religious celebrations that occur this time of year, the focus is on astronomy.
"It talks about the astronomical origins behind the season," said ElectricSky Theater manager William Rouse. "The scientific cause of it."
The show itself is 20 minutes and is followed by a 20-minute star talk. See it at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. through Jan. 6 (noon and 2 p.m. on Sundays).
Other activities
It's not exactly holiday related, but the giant screen film also fits the season. "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure" tells the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in the early 1900s. On the voyage, the ship became trapped in ice, beginning a 17-month quest for survival.
In his review of the film, Gazette writer Bill Lynch called it "a thrilling yarn and a real treat for history buffs and fans of true-life adventure." Showings are at noon, 1, 3 and 4 p.m.
The Mylan Explore-Atory has the interactive exhibit "Roll, Drop, Bounce: The Science of Motion." Visitors can learn about Newton's Laws of Motion, kinetic and potential energy and other physics phenomena by building mini-cars, launching a catapult and more.
Holly Day activities are included in museum admission of $7.50 for adults and $6 for children. Admission to the galleries, film and planetarium show is $14.50 for adults and $12 for children. Call 304-561-3570 or visit www.theclaycenter.org.

It's been given the sobriquet Shagaluf and more recently WAGaluf but all that's set to change as Majorca's leading kiss-me-quick-hat resort announces a major makeover.
As the happy hunting ground for mostly British stag and hen parties and 18-30 holidaymakers seeking a sizzling cocktail of sand, sea, sangria and non-stop partying- as well as a bit of twilight balcony hopping- Magaluf, on the island's south west coast, has few peers.
And yet if Manuel Onieva, mayor of the municipality of Calvia, is true to his word Magaluf might soon become an international "preferential tourist destination" as Spanish hotel group Melia and House of Katmandu, a popular local tourist attraction, join forces to turn Magaluf into a themed resort. Rumours doing the rounds are that it will also be given a brand new name with Nova Calvia, topping the list.
Transforming its existing Sol Magalluf Park Hotel site into a newly created Sol Katmandu Resort, the new enterprise will offer all Melia guests-including those in neighbouring Palmanova- a Sol Fun Pass that will apparently entitle them to special entry prices for the nearby Katmandu and Golf Fantasia theme parks. It seems that Melia and Magaluf make a winning team so perhaps Melaluf or Magamelia might soon be vying for prominence among suggested names for the new look resort.
One wonders though what will become of the thousands of bright young things who habitually pour into the resort for their summer holidays. It's possible that they'll balk at the idea of their favoured raver resort becoming the more genteel Nova Calvia attracting families, higher prices and less wayward behaviour. Will Britain's youth turn its back on Little Britain in the sun, declaring, "I've had enough o' Magaluf" as punk band The Toy Dolls famously sang in its comical anthem?
We shall have to wait and see but the mayors of other 'yoof' friendly resorts such as salacious Salou on the mainland must be rubbing their hands with glee. As Magaluf shrugs off its Shagaluf cloak, there'll be many hungry, nay desperate, destinations only too happy to dust it down, ready to turn it to their own advantage.

Research Finds Shared Genetic Susceptibility for Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes - Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign
Celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks itself, targeting the lining of the small intestine in celiac disease and the beta-cells of the pancreatic islets in type 1 diabetes. Celiac disease is far more common in people with type 1 diabetes than in the general population—as many as 10 percent of children with type 1 diabetes, compared with only one in 100 children in the general population, test positive for the antibodies that indicate celiac disease. Moreover, a growing body of research suggests type 1 diabetes is triggered by exposure to gluten, the protein linked to celiac disease, adding even more weight to the theory that the two disorders share common genetic causes.
Investigators have taken a significant step toward confirming this hypothesis. A research team headed by John A. Todd, Ph.D., at the University of Cambridge in Great Britain identified three genetic markers known to be associated with celiac disease that also are associated with increased likelihood of type 1 diabetes and two factors previously associated with type 1 diabetes that contribute to the risk of celiac disease. The research was reported in The New England Journal of Medicine.
In an editorial accompanying the report, Robert Plenge, M.D., Ph.D., director of genetics and genomics at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, writes, "There are going to be many combinations of these risk factors, and future research that is aimed at understanding these combinations and the underlying biological pathways should lead to new insights into [these diseases]."
The researchers examined genetic markers in blood samples obtained from 2,536 people with celiac disease; 8,064 people with type 1 diabetes; and 9,339 controls with neither diabetes nor celiac disease. In blood samples from people with type 1 diabetes, the researchers looked for variations in the DNA sequence at genetic sites, or loci, known to be associated with celiac disease. In samples from people with celiac disease, they looked for DNA variants previously associated with type 1 diabetes. Because prior research has established a clear association with both diseases and variants at gene loci associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)—a major component of the immune system—the researchers looked only at non-HLA genes.
"A genetic susceptibility to both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease shares common alleles [variants]. These data suggest that common biological mechanisms, such as autoimmunity-related tissue damage and intolerance to dietary antigens, may be etiological features of both diseases," the report's authors write. The new findings suggest that similar genetic variants combine with HLA gene variation and environmental factors to determine the development of both diseases. Moreover, the report notes, the "results support further evaluation of the hypothesis that cereal and gluten consumption might be an environmental factor in type 1 diabetes."

SSHS grad becomes Cortland's top scorer
Jesse Winter breaks SUNY school's career mark for points
1 2 3 Next page >
Rockville Centre resident Jesse Winter became the career scoring leader of the SUNY Cortland men's basketball program when he put up 13 points in a home game against Oneonta on Feb. 5.
Winter, 22, a 5-foot-11-inch senior, is a four-year starting point guard for the Red Dragons. He said that his accumulated time on the court helped him set a scoring record of 1,421 points — which he increased by 16 points in Cortland's 78-46 win against Oswego last Friday.
"I've definitely come a long way," Winter said. "I was hoping I would start as a freshman, but I wasn't expecting I'd be playing as many minutes as I was right away. It wasn't until last year that I really thought maybe I'd have a chance to break this record."
The previous mark, held by Jason Thomas, who played from 1992 to 1995, was 1,419 points.
This season is one of the best the Cortland team has had since Winter joined it, he said. The team is ranked 24th in the nation in the NCAA's Division III, and it has won 11 straight games to improve its overall record to 18-3. According to Winter, he and his teammates are hoping not only to win the SUNY Athletic Conference title but also to do well in the NCAA tournament.
His pursuit of the scoring record was almost becoming a distraction from his main goal of helping the team win, Winter said. "You want to get it over with so the focus can get back on the team," he said. "Everyone is talking to you about it before it happens. You don't want to admit you're thinking about the record, but when you have people coming up to you … I was just glad to get it."
Facing Buffalo State College on Feb. 2, Winter needed only 17 points to break the record. Since he averages 17 points a game, he thought the mark might fall that day, but instead he scored a season-low 5 points in Cortland's 88-72 win. The timing worked out in the end, however, he said, because he was able to break the record in a home game three days later.

IRG Sports + Entertainment to acquire Cordova Dragway Park, Host of the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series in 2014
JUPITER, FL – November 14, 2013 – IRG Sports + Entertainment™ (IRG), parent company of the International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) and multiple motorsports facilities, announced today that Aaron Polburn has stepped down as President and General Manager of the IHRA and Scott Gardner, the longtime owner and promoter of Cordova Dragway Park (CDP), has been named the new President effective today. Polburn, who had been at the helm of IHRA since 2004, has stepped down for personal reasons and will transition the company to Gardner over the next two weeks. Gardner will lead the IHRA team based out of the current Norwalk, Ohio office.
Cordova Dragway Park, home of the World Series of Drag Racing and previously the host of Nitro Jam events, will return as an IHRA-sanctioned Member Track. Gardner will pass the day-to-day management of CDP to his wife and Vice President of CDP, Laura Gardner and Chris McMahan, Director of Operations. CDP will host a newly added 12th event weekend on the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series™ (NJDRS) 2014 North American Tour. The IHRA recently announced that the NJDRS 2014 North American Tour will feature a number of enhancements for the upcoming racing season including the addition of a national points fund, the return of traditional drag racing, a new Fan Zone pit experience and more.
As Gardner moves from CDP to lead the IHRA, IRG will acquire CDP as part of its portfolio of motorsports facilities and take over the management at the end of the 2014 season. Also under Gardner's co-ownership, Eddyville Raceway Park in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and Cedar Falls Raceway in Cedar Falls, Iowa, will become IHRA-sanctioned Member Tracks. With the addition of these three Member Tracks, the IHRA now sanctions 112 facilities in five countries.
"It's a great honor and a huge responsibility to take over the position of President of the IHRA," noted Gardner. "The IHRA brand is something I have always felt was a viable drag racing organization. I am confident I can bring new ideas and renewed energy to the table, while staying true to the sportsman racing at the core of the organization."
Ever since he went racing with his family at 8 years of age, Gardner has had a passion for drag racing, and he has been involved in drag racing promotions and management for more than 20 years. He raced in and served as Vice President of the United Drag Racers Association (U.D.R.A.) followed by a stint as General Manager of Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin. In 1995, Gardner purchased CDP and later became co-owner of both Eddyville Raceway Park and Cedar Falls Raceway.

I'm trying to cut it to no more than 300mg of caffeine on non training days (typically half in the AM, half around noon, so I can still sleep)
And 300mg before training on training days. I had my 2 cups at 8 this morning and I'm still flying high. Strangely if I had ingested more, I'd probably be crashing by now. Weird.

I was born and raised in northern idaho, it used to be just amazing hunting in the good ol days, now wolves and people seem to be more plentiful than the big game. The good ol days werent that long ago, im only 24.
Big game management in Idaho lacks luster. I think they have a long way to go before they can claim to be good game managers. Just look at their track record. Cut the state in half, and the deer and elk numbers in the top half has had steady declines in the last two decades, yet you can buy up to 3 elk tags and 3 deer tags in many North Idaho units. Hardly sound game management, looks like money management to me.
Not sure on the 3 elk tags deal but I haven't looked into the regs for up there. The way I understand it you only get one elk tag unless you can get a leftover or landowner depredation tag as well but around here that is fairly rare. I know the IDF&G has fallen flat in some aspects and there is no doubt they were all about the numbers and somewhat still are but I think they have realized that and are starting to turn the corner. They have a long way to go but hopefully the new department head can steer them in the right direction.
I think they are doing an okay job but could be doing better-Idaho is all about opportunity and that is what they are providing...in a way.

I think Idaho is between a rock and a hard spot. The fish and game is going broke because the wolves are eating us out of house and home. So even if the want to manage populations better they can't afford too. I feel sorry for them in away. On the other hand I was at a fish and game meeting and the biologist would not admit that the wolves are a problem. That to me is the big problem with the picture.
As the next wave of lawsuits and private interest group appeals runs its course, Idaho is ready to take over at a moments notice with a wolf management plan in place, flawed or no. One interesting idea that may use some public backing (especially by sportsman) is the implementation of a take season for fur trappers, which would be a more efficient method of population control by sportsman, not to mention a new source of revenue for a stretched state run department of fish and game. An "all hands on deck" stance needs taken by sportsman in general, regardless of view on the wolf issue; because it is a varying issue state to state, and to take the control out of the hands of the state government seems plain wrong. This discussion is volatile at best, and may be better suited for the wolf forum, I apologize in advance, but it does affect all Idaho sportsman.
Well keep in mind, the wolves were delisted, and as of just two days ago, discussions are still on going with the IDFG and Gov Otter on what direction to take. In all truth there is to be a hunt this fall, and thats not a variable, but a fact. The discussions are about numbers, short term goals and 5 and 10 year goals. IDFG likes to take 5 to 10 years to study stuff, then make changes. The problem with that is 10 years later the numbers are BUNK.
Otter wants to put us in a wolf disaster mode, which would allow an IMMEDIATE reduction of our wolf numbers. We are still waiting out the 60 days congress has to put the delisting on the official document, and until then its still a no go on anything legally speaking.
Defenders of wildlife and other organizations set out with a recovery goal and management plan that they got Idaho to buy into. When the original plans numbers were reached, they fought the management plan and up until today they played red. I am so glad congress stepped up to the plate and put an end to the legal BS we have been fighting.
IDFG hires biologists to help them plan numbers and hunts etc, but to be honest, proper management needs faster results, adjustments, and such than 5 to 10 year study grants they run off of can produce.
I hunt because......

Senate OKs modest restrictions on filibusters
WASHINGTON The tradition-laden Senate voted Thursday to modestly curb filibusters, using a bipartisan consensus rare in today's hyper-partisan climate to make it a bit harder but not impossible for outnumbered senators to sink bills and nominations.
The rules changes would reduce yet not eliminate the number of times opponents - usually minority-party Republicans these days - can use filibusters, procedural tactics which can derail legislation and which can be stopped only by the votes of 60 of the 100 senators.
In return, the majority party - Democrats today - would have to allow two minority amendments on bills, a response to Republican complaints that Democrats often prevent them from offering any amendments at all. The new procedures also would limit the time spent debating some bills and nominations, allowing some to be completed in hours that could otherwise take a day or more.
The changes were broken into two pieces and approved by votes of 78-16 and 86-9. In both roll calls, Republican opponents were joined by Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who usually sides with Democrats. Many of the GOP "no" votes came from tea party-backed senators like Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
The two votes and a brief debate took less than an hour, impressively quick for the Senate. They came after a more typical day that featured a sprinkling of senators' speeches and long periods when the Senate chamber idled with no one talking, while private negotiations off the floor nailed down final details.
President Barack Obama said the Senate action would help his agenda in Congress.
"At a time when we face critical decisions on a whole range of issues - from preventing further gun violence, to reforming our broken immigration system, to getting our fiscal house in order and creating good paying jobs - we cannot afford unnecessary obstruction. And I am hopeful that today's bipartisan agreement will pave the way for the Senate to take meaningful action in the days and weeks ahead," Obama said in a written statement.
The pact leaves the Senate's minority party with far more power than it has in the House, where rules let a united majority party easily muscle through its priorities. It also falls short of changes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had been threatening to ram through using the 55 votes Democrats have, a technique nicknamed the "nuclear option" because it is considered likely to produce harsh GOP retaliation that could grind work to a virtual halt.
"I'm glad cooler heads have prevailed here once again, and those who were clamoring for the nuclear option, most of whom have never served a day of their lives in the minority, didn't prevail," said McConnell, who worked out the agreement with Reid. He added that Republicans felt rules changes were not needed, merely a willingness by both parties to allow "vigorous debate and a robust amendment process."
Reid said the changes would increase Senate efficiency while protecting lawmakers in the minority party, warning that he would consider future changes if Thursday's package didn't do enough.
"We were elected to get things done for the middle class - not waste time with endless stalling tactics that cause even bills with broad bipartisan support to languish for weeks," Reid said.
Democrats say Republican use of filibusters has become almost routine and far too frequent. Republicans say they use it because Reid often blocks them from offering amendments.
The rules also don't go nearly as far as restrictions championed by a group of newer Democratic senators, such as requiring filibustering senators to physically debate on the Senate floor, as portrayed by the actor Jimmy Stewart in the classic 1939 film, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Such filibusters have been rare for decades.

James Frain (voice - TRON: Evolution)
|TRON: Legacy, TRON: Evolution
Castor, also known to some programs as Zuse, is a flamboyant and vivacious program that owns and operates the End of Line Club, a nightclub located on top of the tallest tower in Tron City.
Castor made an appearance in a sneak preview of Daft Punk's "Derezzed" track, displaying his trademark flamboyant traits from the movie.
Disparate accounts of Castor's origin exist. He was reputedly designed and created by Kevin Flynn in TC30 as an interpreter but quickly and naturally exceeded his original directives. Unconfirmed conflicting reports describe his origin as a "low-priority actuarial algorithm illegally co-opted identity of obsolete protocol. More investigation required for verification."
As Zuse, he was involved in Clu's Purge, fighting alongside the Isomorphic Algorithms. After the Purge, he found a need to reinvent himself for self-protection, thus adopting the new persona of Castor. He is known to have a past history with the ISO, Quorra.
Castor's first appearance in TRON: Legacy was when Gem guided Sam Flynn to him at the End of Line Club where Castor was posing as a middle man between those who are seeking Zuse and Zuse himself. Knowing full well of Sam's connection to his father, he eventually revealed himself as Zuse and agreed to help Sam make his exit. This meeting was interrupted when a squad of Black Guards raided the club, revealing Castor's duplicitous connection with Clu. Kevin and Quorra intervened and thus changed the tide of battle, prompting Castor to withdraw to safety. As the trio escaped however, a surviving Black Guard snatched the Identity Disc from Kevin's back, but was himself beaten when Castor blew a hole through him with his cane. Castor, triumphantly retrieved the disc that was his prize all along.
In the aftermath of the battle, Clu paid a visit to the End of Line Club to retrieve Kevin's disc from Castor. The deal was to give Castor complete control of Tron City in exchange for Kevin's identity disc. Clu evidently had no intention of holding up his end of the bargain and simply took the disc, his Black Guards planting Light Grenades on the walls as they left. Castor was left standing speechless - the master of negotiations and the self-proclaimed player of "all the angles" had himself been played. A short time later the End of Line Club was ripped apart by the guardsmen's explosives.
Skills and TraitsEdit
As a ruse, Castor acts as an independent program who is secretary to Zuse, determining who gets to see him. In reality Castor is none other than Zuse himself, meaning he can pull a lot of weight in the political world of TRON and is capable of uniting multiple factions to overthrow Clu. He also has skill in getting programs into places, manufacturing fake IDs, and falsifying documents.
Castor is known for his flamboyant, social, outgoing personality. He was in a nonchalant and joking mood when consulting Bartik's proposal on usurping Clu. During the Purge, he had faith in the users, but he had abandoned these views by the time Sam was sent to the Grid.
Castor carries a cane packed with a hidden energy weapon. He notably used this weapon to fire a machine gun-like blast to de-rez a Black Guard, and also fires it randomly around the club during the battle.
- For the role, Michael Sheen had to wear light blue contacts.
- The symbol on his forehead may be a modification of the Ubuntu logo. This, coupled with the name Castor is most likely a reference to the Castor Project, and in particular the "castor" ubuntu package. Compare with Suse and Opensuse, a Linux distribution.
- The name Zuse is possibly either a reference to the Zuse Z3, which was one of the first fully functional programmable computers, or its inventor: Konrad Zuse.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Born Richard Melville Hall, Moby received his nickname as a child; it derives from the fact that Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick, is his great-great grand uncle. Moby was raised in Darien, Connecticut, where he played in a hardcore punk band called the Vatican Commandos as a teenager. Later, he briefly sang with Flipper while their singer was serving time in jail. He briefly attended college before he moved to New York City, where he began DJ'ing in dance clubs. During the late '80s and 1990, he released a number of singles and EPs for the independent label Instinct. In 1991, he set the theme from David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks to an insistent house-derived rhythm and titled the result "Go." The single became a surprise British hit single, climbing into the Top Ten. Following its success, Moby was invited to remix a number of mainstream and underground acts, including Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Brian Eno, Depeche Mode, Erasure, the B-52s, and Orbital.
Moby continued performing at dances and raves throughout 1991 and 1992, culminating in a set at 1992's Mixmag awards, where he broke his keyboards at the end of his concert. Moby, his first full-length album, appeared in 1992. In 1993, he released the double A-sided single "I Feel It"/"Thousand," which became a moderate U.K. hit. According to The Guinness Book of Records, "Thousand" is the fastest single ever, appropriately clocking in at 1,000 beats a minute. That same year, Moby signed a record contract with Mute and his first release was Ambient, which compiled unissued material recorded between 1988 and 1991. Later that year, The Story So Far, a collection of singles released on Instinct, appeared. In 1994, the single "Hymn" -- one of the first fusions of gospel, techno, and ambient music -- was released.
In 1994, Moby signed a major-label contract with Elektra in the U.S. Everything Is Wrong, his first album released under the deal, appeared in the spring of 1995 to uniformly positive reviews, especially in the American press, which had previously ignored him. Despite the promotional push behind the album and his popular sets at the 1995 Lollapalooza festival, the album wasn't a commercial success. "Bring Back My Happiness," however, was a Top Ten hit on Billboard's club chart. The following year, Moby incorporated heavy guitar rock for 1996's Animal Rights, which featured a cover of Mission of Burma's "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" and received mixed reviews. One year later, Elektra collected his soundtrack highlights for I Like to Score, a compilation that included his remix of "The James Bond Theme" for Tomorrow Never Dies, as well as contributions to Cool World, Heat, and Scream.
Moby's fifth studio album, Play, appeared in 1999. Surpassing everyone's expectations, the album -- featuring numerous samples of Alan Lomax field recordings -- went double platinum in the U.S. and reached number one in the U.K. Aside from its hit singles, Play's success was assured when its tracks were licensed by dozens of advertisers and compilers. Always a restless producer, Moby followed Play with 18 (2002), a relatively reflective and restrained set dotted with an eclectic list of guest vocalists (including MC Lyte, Angie Stone, and Sinéad O'Connor). It debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 but didn't come close to catching Play in terms of sales.
The downward trend in mainstream appeal continued with Hotel (2005), a mixture of basic contemporary rock and downbeat electronica; early copies were bundled with an ambient disc worthy of separate release. On Last Night, seemingly unaware of contemporary trends in dance music, Moby made a return to club hedonism with some of his most creative -- if unapologetically nostalgic -- material. The austere and morose Wait for Me (2009), featuring a show-stealing appearance from soul singer Leela James, was just the opposite in tone. Destroyed (2011), recorded during late-night sessions in hotel rooms, offered a natural extension of Wait for Me's alienated feel. The companion piece Destroyed Remixed (2012) followed shortly thereafter; a limited double-disc compilation, it featured exclusive remixes by David Lynch, Holy Ghost!, and System Divine, as well as a previously unreleased 30-minute ambient piece by Moby himself.
After several appearances in early 2013, including DJ sets at the Coachella festival, Moby released a special 7" for Record Store Day, entitled "The Lonely Night," which featured vocals from Mark Lanegan. The song was included on Innocents, an album mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent, released that October. Other guest vocalists included Damien Jurado, the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, and Skylar Grey. Three shows were performed in support of the album, all of which took place at Los Angeles' Fonda Theatre. A two-CD/two-DVD documentation, Almost Home, was released in March 2014. The following year saw the full release of Hotel Ambient -- which originally featured as a bonus disc on the limited-edition version of 2005's Hotel -- after multiple requests from fans for wider release. The record came with three new tracks, "May 4 Two," "Spaired Long," and "Live Forever (Long)," and was expected in mid-2015. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Andy Kellman

Hi chaolin...we have paid requests which are marked 'paid' and we have paid requests provided certain conditions are met which we mark 'paid?'. I've given yours the latter which seems to fit what you've said in your explanatory text. If you would still like it marked as 'unpaid' I'm happy to oblige.
Hi Ravells, thanks for clearing things up. I believed I was questioned regarding the method of compensation. [Paid?] will be just fine. thank you again for directing me to the right area of the forum.

|Extra security measures targeted on court dates
|Written by April Peregoy
New court security measures are being taken to protect Phillips County Courthouse when court is in session.
At their meeting Tuesday, March 31, commissioners announced the only door that will be unlocked on court days will be the door on the east side of the courthouse building.
On those days court is in session, they ask that patrons entering the courthouse bring no items that could potentially be used as a weapon inside. This includes any form of knife, ammunition or simulated "toy" weapon, aerosol/chemical irritant and self-defense sprays, any form of tool, large flashlight or Leatherman style tool, any form of an electronic tasing or stunning device, any form of restraining device including a handcuff key, any form of club, baton or self-defense weapon, any form of an alcholic beverage, any illegal drug or drug paraphernalia and cell phones.
Those entering the building on court days will have to pass an inspection by the courthouse security officer with a magnetometer.
Court dates change every month depending on factors such as judge availability. However, a list of dates was provided for April and May so residents can be aware and prepare accordingly:
April—7, 13, 14, 21 and 28.
May—5, 7, 11, 12, 14, 19, 26, 27 and 28.
Work is currently being done in the courthouse to remove asbestos from the boiler room and the utility tunnel. Precautions are being made to ensure the asbestos does not escape outside or into the rest of the building. An inspector from the State Health Dept. has been in to check on the work being done, and reported it is being handled properly.
Commissioners added the removal will cost approximately $25,000 total, but it is something that has to be done.
Following the asbestos removal, the boiler will also be taken out of the building. Commissioners said they have made no concrete decisions yet as to how they will replace the heating system.
Meusborn leaves landfill
Matt Meusborn is officially stepping down from his position as Phillips County Landfill Supervisor to supervise the landfill at Logan County, starting May 1.
Meusborn has held the job in Phillips County since 2002, and was there when the county installed its new baling system at the landfill. "We would have loved to keep him, but we just couldn't compete with what Logan County offered him," said commissioner Bud Biesemeier, adding, "We wish him all the best."
Commissioners noted they will begin interviewing applicants to replace him this week.
Also mentioned was the sudden death of Ramona Proctor, who was the director of Eastern Colorado Services for the Developmentally Disabled. They said she will be missed and "leaves behind some big shoes to fill."
Road closure request considered
A request has been made to the commissioners by the Haxtun Airport to close County Road 28, from mileposts 7-9, located on the north side of the airport. According to them, the reason behind the request is that the road runs too close to the airport's runway, making it harder to secure grant funding for the airport remodeling project.
Commissioners said a hearing will be held by the Town of Haxtun soon. Depending on public opinion, commissioners said they will then make their decision after the hearing. They added they will only close the road if the town agrees to apply for the grant.
Other business
In other business during the month of March, commissioners:
—renewed a farming contract with Duane Harms to farm the section of landfill not currently being used.
—purchased a 2008 Ford Edge for Sheriff Rob Urbach from Bonanza Ford at $22,500.
—noted Road and Bridge crews have switched to a four, 10-hour day weekly schedule for the summer, with Fridays off..
—signed a TriState resolution to be sent to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in protest of PUC's move to regulate TriState.
—viewed an asphalt zipper demonstration south of Paoli. Commissioners are considering the possibility of purchasing the zipper with help from the towns in a joint ownership deal.
—provided an update on the Event Center building construction. Most of the concrete on the inside of the building is complete. The bricks have also arrived and laying will begin as soon as the weather is warm enough.
—moved the Friday, April 10 meeting to Monday, April 6.

Shoulder replacement surgery replaces a worn, painful shoulder joint with a new, functional joint made from metal and plastic.
The surgery relieves debilitating shoulder joint pain caused by a shoulder condition or injury that interferes with daily life.
Total shoulder replacement is a surgery done to treat different shoulder conditions and injuries, such as:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before surgery, you may meet with your doctor for a physical exam, medical history, and tests. You may have blood tests.
Imaging studies that help evaluate the shoulder joint and surrounding structures include:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medicationss up to two weeks before the procedure like:
You may be given either:
The doctor will make a cut through your skin near your shoulder. The large muscles around the shoulder will be pulled back. Another incision will be made in the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is made up of tendons that cover and support the shoulder joint. Pulling back the muscles and tendons will allow the doctor to have a clear view of the shoulder joint.
The doctor will then remove the shoulder joint and replace it with an implant that looks very similar. It includes a ball, socket, and stem parts.
After inserting the implant, the doctor will close the rotator cuff, muscles, and skin with stitches. A drain may also be inserted to remove fluids that may build up in the shoulder after surgery.
A few hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
This surgery is done in a hospital. The usual length of stay is 2-3 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Right after the procedure, you will be in a recovery room where your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. Recovery may also include:
You may start physical therapy as early as the day after your surgery. A physical therapist will work with you to help you regain your range of motion and strength in your shoulder. You will also continue physical therapy after you leave the hospital.
You will wear an arm sling for the first several weeks after surgery. The sling will help support your shoulder as it heals. You should be able to do simple tasks, like feeding yourself and dressing, within two weeks after surgery. In the meantime, family members or friends may help you with daily activities.
When you return home, take these steps:
Antibiotics may be needed before certain dental procedures or surgeries now that you have an artificial joint. This will prevent possible infections from entering the bloodstream. Make sure to let the dentist or doctor know that you have an artificial joint.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Refreshed National Library of Energy(Beta) Takes on Expanded Role in Disseminating Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Information
by Lynn Davis 29 May, 2014 in
The National Library of EnergyBeta (NLEBeta), a gateway to information across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is taking on an expanded role in providing access to DOE scientific and technical information (STI) with the retirement of the federated search product Science Accelerator. In addition, the NLEBeta, launched in February 2013, has a redesigned home page and new features that makes it easier to use than ever.
Developed by DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), the NLEBeta search tool makes it easy for American citizens to find and access information about the Department from across the DOE complex nationwide, without knowing DOE's organizational structure.

Legal Metric Chassis Steering UpgradeWritten by on August 1, 2011 Contributors: Pete Epple We go outside the oval track world to find a beefy steering upgrade kit from (gasp) a street/road race performance company
Racers are a resourceful bunch. We're always looking for that extra little advantage, sometimes within the rules, sometimes not. Then there's that little gray area of the rule book, you know, "it never said that I couldn't do it." That's the spot Smokey Yunick thrived in and in homage to him, that's where we got the idea for this little story.
Stock racing classes often have restrictive rules designed to keep costs down, competition fair, and make it "easy" for newbies to start racing. That said, visit any track in the country and usually you can find some pretty interesting innovations in the stock classes. In fact, some of the more creative gray area modifications can be found in these classes.
The idea for this story actually came from several of us pondering the fate of an '88 Monte Carlo SS. Being one of the most popular stock class platforms out there, yours truly was all for building a Street Stock, but then someone said we should build it into a multi purpose race car—an anything, anywhere, anytime Cannonball Run/Gumball Rally-type of thing.
Regardless of what we choose to eventually do with the car, one thing is clear. Our Monte Carlo's steering system is badly rusted and really worn out. We surveyed a number of stock class rule books from different tracks and didn't find anything that said we couldn't upgrade the steering components on this car. They just had to remain in the stock location. It got me thinking. And as I was surfing the Internet for parts, pieces, and ideas I came across the website of Hotchkis Sport Suspension.
This California-based company specializes in suspension components for road racing, drag racing, and autocross—basically street legal cars (for the most part). Definitely not the place you'd think of when looking for parts for your oval track stocker. But then again, why not?
Like we said, the rules we surveyed all said that steering and suspensions must remain in stock locations, stock dimensions, and so on. None of them said that we couldn't swap out parts that looked stock. See where we are going with this? It's the old "stock appearing" loophole.
Back to our steering, we found out that Hotckhis makes what it calls a Premium Steering Rebuild Kit specifically designed for GM's A/G-body cars from 1978-1988, such as the Monte Carlo, Regal, Cutlass, and so on. At $375, the kit would be the perfect upgrade for this car, still look totally stock (if not brand-new), and give us added performance in the steering category.
Hotchkis' kit includes two inner tie-rod ends, two outer tie-rod ends, the idler arm, and the centerlink. You'll have to reuse your tie-rod sleeves, although you could buy Hotchkis' heavy-duty sleeves but they look a little more aftermarket than we wanted for this build.
The kit features heat-treated 4140 forged ball studs on the tie-rod ends for improved wear resistance. The triple-lip-sealed ball joint boots come preinstalled and will keep all sorts of dirt and track debris out. Everything is manufactured from hardened steel and features forged housings for added strength. Hotchkis even CNC machined the threads on the ball joint studs. Then it tops everything off with a corrosion resistant finish.
As you'll see from the accompanying pictures, installing the kit is a simple task. Once we had the old steering system disassembled and removed with the salvaged parts cleaned up, it took less than an hour for us to put it all back together.
When it's all said and done, if you're going to go hunting for parts from premium automotive performance companies like Hotchkis make sure you read your rule book first and seek out those gray areas. You know you want to!

While we could have tried to source OEM replacement parts in better condition from a junkyard or even buying new ones at the local parts store, we found that Hotchkis Sport Suspension manufactures a robust Premium Steering Rebuild Kit for '78 to '88 G-body cars. The kit includes everything you see here; (2) inner tie-rod ends, (2) outer tie-rod ends, an idler arm, and a centerlink for an MSRP of $375.95.Another comparison view with the Hotchkis on the right. Notice the additional material joining the ball joint cup to shaft. The extra heavy-duty tie rod will stand up to the rigors of racing much better than the OEM unit.Take a look at the difference in heft of the inner tie rods. The stock one is on the left, the Hotchkiss is on the right.The same holds true for the idler arm. All of the components of this kit feature hardened steel, forged housings, and a corrosion resistant finish.One item that wasn't included in the kit was the pitman arm. While it looks pretty rough, closer inspection revealed that critical grooves were just fine.So, we sandblasted the thing in the shop and then coated it with two coats of Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black Primer, followed by one coat of Extreme Chassis Black Paint. Both the primer and paint come in convenient spray cans for small parts such as this. You'll see the finished product later on in the story.Hotchkis manufactures heavy-duty tie-rod sleeves, but these are not them. The sleeves aren't included in the kit and that's OK because we're trying to keep this thing as close to stock as possible (since the rule book says we have to). These are the original sleeves that have been cleaned up.Because Metric Monte Carlos have a mount welded to the crossmember that gets in your way when reassembling the steering, you have to attach both inner tie rods to the centerlink before you do anything else. At this point don't tighten the nuts, just leave everything loose. You can then adjust the length of your tie rods, like I'm doing here. Make sure your front tires are reasonably straight. You'll actually align it later but having the toe somewhere close to what you want saves time.
When you have finished attaching both inner tie rods to the centerlink, the very next thing you need to do is make sure that the centerlink and pitman arm are properly attached.We were impressed with how good Eastwood's primer and paint combo brought the freshly painted pitman arm back to life.You can see the threaded end of the balljoint placed through the centerlink. The hole is where a cotter pin will be placed once the nut is tightened.Here's an important tip from Hotchkis. When tightening the nut, you must make sure the groove lines up with the hole so that you can get the cotter pin through. However, you never back the nut out to make it align. You must always tighten it forward.With the nut properly tightened, you can slide the cotter pin into place and then bend the ends back.
