WASHINGTON – A Prince William County woman has been charged with felony child abuse and aggravated malicious wounding for trying to forcibly put an infant to sleep.
Prince William County police say a 5-month-old girl was brought to a hospital Friday afternoon by her family members after becoming unresponsive. She was found to have internal injuries consistent with abuse.
Earlier that morning, police say 20-year-old Monique Diane Coachman was trying to put the infant to sleep when she began to cry. Coachman, a family member, started tightly squeezing the baby and forced the infant back into the bed.
The infant is in critical condition is still at an area hospital.
Police have not disclosed the relationship between Coachman and the infant beyond that they are family members.
Coachman is being held without bond.

Mugs: Athlete Arrests
Tallahassee, Florida - State Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto makes an emotional appeal on behalf of legislation that would require insurance companies to charge the same price for IV and oral cancer drugs.
Benacquisto, R-Ft. Myers, choked up as she recalled her mother's two-year fight with cancer and how she sat in the doctor's office with an IV in her arm, watching the slow drip of the chemotherapy drugs.
"During that two years, I saw the day-to-day struggle of a cancer patient who sits in the doctor's office and feels the drip, the drip, the drip. It saved her for some time, and it gave her extra moments," said Benacquisto. "But this bill that you have helped us move- because without your co-sponsorships, without your faith, without your sending a message to the world that this was important for us to do- we wouldn't be here."
Sen. Benacquisto says IV medications for cancer typically cost patients about $30 for the insurance co-pay. But the same medication in oral form can cost thousands of dollars a month.
That reality creates a terrible dilemma for some cancer patients: will they go deep in debt or take a cheaper, but less effective, IV drug.
Benacquisto says not enough cancer patients are getting access to oral cancer medications. To emphasize that point, she paused during her closing speech and the entire Senate chamber fell silent.
"For every patient that gets the access to this medication- 324 new people every day- (pauses) that sound is the silence of people who won't get that access. So from the silence of folks who can't thank you, to the roar of your constituents who will know that you have made a difference in their lives, and in my mother's name, Patricia Kelly, we just say thank you."
The bill passed unanimously. Now it heads to the House.

Video: Neighbors React To Capitol Hill Assault That Leaves Man In A
WASHINGTON (WUSA) - A D.C. husband and father who underwent brain surgery and fell into a coma after an assault in Capitol Hill remains in critical condition at Washington Hospital Center, say police, who say they are following a number of leads.
Scott Broom reports as of Monday, there is now a rough timeline -- outlined in a police report --- and an indication that the victim's credit card may have been used after this disturbing attack.
Maslin's wife works at Brent Elementary School. The principal shared his thoughts and prayers on the school's website:
"Abby has asked that everybody pray for her and TC, it is hour by hour now. We as a Brent Family must come together and support their family in whatever way you can. "
Homicide detectives are investigating, which is routine in serious assaults.
The community around Eastern Market has recently seen an increase in robberies and assaults, according to Ivan Frishberg, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC).
To date there have been six assaults in the area, compared to four during the same time last year, Frishberg added.
Police have reported no homicides this year in the patrol area.

CHUCK BARTELS, Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Entergy Arkansas says it has restored power to about 40 percent of its 194,000 customers who lost electricity in the Christmas Day winter storm, but says the pace has slowed due to the difficult nature of the job.
Entergy Arkansas CEO Hugh McDonald said at a Friday news conference that he understands people without electricity are becoming dissatisfied with the publicly traded utility.
But McDonald blamed the weather forecast for not quickly predicting that the state's most populous area would get 10 inches of snow.
McDonald defended Entergy's tree-trimming program, saying the utility spends $15 million per year to clear vegetation.
Without electricity, many businesses have been closed during the crucial after-Christmas sale period and grocery stores have had to throw out perishable stock.

This week, with our 38th Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week, we continue looking at the last of the eight dark draug settlements in the ruins of the fallen Æsir Empire, the ruins of Garndi's Crossing. Our focus this week is on the lair of the red and dark rider draugs there. During the great wars, Mýsing, the baron of Garndi's Crossing, went over to the Darkness and allied with the high draug Martröð, who made of Mýsing one of the nine dark draugs. (A dark draug is similar to an OGL 3.5 lich.) As a result, Mýsing sacrificed his free will and bound it to that of the greater Darkness and Martröð. The high draug fell, but Mýsing still is a slave of the Darkness. He has no desire to turn from evil, but he hopes to regain his free will.
Although Garndi's Crossings no longer exists, Mýsing still claims to rule it, and he still insists that his followers address him with his noble title, baron. That following is a collection of lesser draugs who survived the wars and who remained bound to his will now as they were before Martröð's fall and of evil Slovánski humans who have joined in the baron's new crusade to shed his shackles of Dark domination.
All draugs are to a certain extent insane. Transfiguration into an undead robs a human soul of some of its sanity and makes of it a chaotic creature. Mýsing appears to be more insane than any of the other eight dark draugs, and that manifests itself nowhere so much is in his theory of the nature of life. He has come to believe that the spark of life is the spark of lightning. Thunderstorms occur, according to Mýsing's teachings, as a natural process that continually renews the energy of life within the jörð.
Thus, like Dr. Frankenstein in the book of the same name by 19th Century author Mary Shelley, Mýsing is convinced that he can use lightning to infuse life into a body that no longer is alive. His theory also is that - once he has this technique perfected - he can apply lightning to himself, to restore him from undeath to life. Then, he believes, he will be able to reclaim his own free will, because he no longer will be a draug. After that, he intends to have his followers make a god of him.

I want to create a number of "email only" users in AD. these users should not be able to log on via local or remote login, and have no network access via shares.
The problem I am encountering is that as soon as I start restricting login access this also impedes the user's ability to log on to the Zimbra environment (authentication fails if u deny local login via GPO or disable the account in AD)
An alternative would be to just keep these accounts out of AD, and use "local authentication fallback" but i'd rather be able to manage everything from AD, and not abuse a few locally created unix accounts for this.
Any ideas ?


text: I'm interested in either the Russell APXG2 or Sitka layering system. My question for those who have either is about sizing. I'm 6'0" and about 155#; long and lean... Do these jackets/jants tend to have a snug fit? Neither offers a medium tall, which is ideal for me. Would a medium be long enough? Would a large be too broad? Thanks for the help.

No skin care regimen is complete without regular exfoliation involving the elimination of the dead surface cells that build up over time. Everyone turns over skin cells at a different rate but everyone needs to eliminate them regularly in order to maintain a healthy complexion. Neova Exfoliators refine the skin to smooth away dead cells and impurities which can cloud a complexion, causing a dull surface appearance. Neova Exfoliators deeply purify to rid the skin of pore clogging debris which can lead to breakouts and blemishes. Regular exfoliation can even encourage a higher rate of skin cell turnover and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Regular use of Neova Exfoliators encourage a brighter, more even skin tone so that dark patches and spots are minimized. Your moisturizer and treatment products will also perform better as they will more easily penetrate the layers of skin rather than having to get past layers of dead skin and impurities. These refining products can easily be incorporated into your weekly skin care regimen in order to maintain smooth and even skin. Neova Exfoliators should be considered a vital part of a comprehensive program for healthy and radiant skin.
The act of exfoliating can involve a chemical process using acids which break up the cement that holds skin cells together or a physical process which involves polishing particles to smooth away dead skin. Both methods are effective and one method may be preferable by some people. The Neova Exfoliators line includes both chemical and physical options.
Neova Smoothing Gel by ProCyte uses an unbuffered glycolic acid exfoliator in a 10% solution that effectively dissolves the substance that causes dead skin cells to stick together. As dead skin cells are eliminated and the pores are purified, circulation improves and the overall skin condition becomes healthier and more radiant. Regular use of Neova Smoothing Gel by ProCyte will result in soft and smooth skin with an improvement in the appearance of lines, dark spots and enlarged pores. This is a great product for anyone looking to even out the skin tone.
Neova Microdermabrasion Scrub by ProCyte is a physical exfoliator that uses polishing granules to detach and wash away layers of dead skin. Even dry, rough and flaky skin can be eliminated with the help of Neova Microdermabrasion Scrub by ProCyte. This product offers a great way to keep the complexion soft and smooth in between profession microdermabrasion treatments and chemical peels. You can use the scrub two to three times a week depending on your skin type, how fast you turn over skin cells and how well your skin tolerates physical exfoliation. Make sure to apply to clean skin that is still moist. Gently massage the product onto the skin for one to two minutes and then thoroughly rinse to remove all traces of the exfoliating crystals.

I have been using Zimbra for only about a week, but I already love it. I have set up my own install and I'm the only one who uses it, so I can't really say anything about the collaboration features, but it's also great as a regular mail client. I actually got it running on a PIII 700 MhZ with 256 MB Ram, also it's a bit slow sometimes. The same machine also hosts a few PHP sites using Apache and those have seen a small slowdown since I installed Zimbra, but they are still running fast enough for me (I don't have many visitors anyway...). I plan to write about the tweaks I've done to get it running acceptably fast on such low-end hardware and when I do so, I will post a link here. I have got only one request: Make Zimbra faster on fewer ram (or do a single user version or something like that ).
Update: here is the link: http://the-wizzard.de/2007/05/20/zimbra-on-256-mb-ram/

Aspiring young gymnasts will relate to McKenna's ambitious dreams of becoming an Olympic star. Even non-gymnists will find common ground with her school problems and need for a tutor and the rivalry that grows when her childhood friend becomes jealous of McKenna's new friendship with her tutor. Though the music is somewhat intrusive and the situations a bit predictable, this is like the old after school specials with lots of good messages and events that echo kid's own experiences. McKenna's tutor is wheelchair bound and though she is older and wiser, McKenna learns a lot about friendship and supporting someone else's needs as the story develops. It also delivers a serious message that needing the help of others is noto something to be ashamed of at any age. This is a film for school aged kids, not preschoolers. I hr. 35 min.

You get twenty award winning stories on these three DVD's. Among our favorites are The Snowy Day, Bear Snores, The Story about Ping, Make Way for Ducklings, Caps for Sale and so many more classics. A word of warning before you buy: many of these videos are only mildly animated and may look old-fashioned to cartoon savvy kids. On the otherhand, they are true to the illustrations of the books and have the added advantage of being viewed with or without text, so beginning readers can follow along or read with the sound off. In any case this is a good basic collection if you are building a film library for your children. 3 & up.

A three-disk collection of DVD storybooks, featuring some brand new titles mixed in with many classic picture book videos.

All of the videos are lightly animated and all of them have a read-along option for beginning readers. Splat the Cat, the star of a new and charming series leads the first disk along with Leo the Late Bloomer, an old favorite by Leo Lionni, Hondo and Fabian and Picnic. Disk 2 leads with the classic Story of Ping, a little duck who learns a lot about life when he runs away, plus the picture books, Goose, The Most Wonderful Egg in the World, Duck on Bike, and Rosie's Walk . This DVD also includes a Spanish Language version of The Story of Ping . Disk 3 leads with The Napping House, a cumulative tale and also includes one of our OTP winners, Bear Snores On plus Each Peach Pear Plum, Drummer Hoff, and Wild About Books. If you own other Storybook Treasures you may want to check the full list carefully so that you are not buying a lot of duplicates. This is one of the problems with the series. Many of the stories appear in more than one collection. That said, it is still the best bet in children�s video.

It's Kim Kardashian's first post-divorce interview, y'all! And she is feeling disillusioned about love, fairy tale endings, and a bunch of other things most of us stop believing in when we're 13. She's also not sure if she's ever going to have children, which is good, because clinical narcissists probably shouldn't. But none of that's going to stop her from stripping down to her skivvies and pretending to be having a wonderful time. Such a survivor, that one.

Perfect Pairings
Pairing your reading material with an appropriate listening selection will greatly enhance your enjoyment of both. Below is a brief selection of library materials, and the bands that go with them.
- It by Stephen King.
This horror novel is one of Stephen King's classics, written about a group of young children plagued by encounters with monsters in their hometown. All of the monsters turn out to be manifestations of the shapeshifting creature It, who turns into whatever it is its victim fears the most. One of these manifestations is a clown. The novel was listed as the greatest-selling American book in 1986.
It is Best Paired With . . .
Pennywise, a punk rock band from California that formed two years after It was written. This high-energy band and the album From the Ashes have remained a cornerstone of the punk rock scene from 1988 to the present, despite the suicide of their bass player and the loss of their original lead singer. They take their name from Pennywise the Clown, the name of the monster in King's book.
includes an episode called "Eve." This episode is about a cloning experiment in which a eugenics program was undertaken to mold super soldiers. The boys in this program were called "Adam" and the girls were named "Eve." One of the subjects of the program is named Eve 6.
X-Files is Best Paired With . . .
That excellent episode is best paired with Eve 6, a California pop punk band who named themselves after the X-Files character because of Eve 6's remark about biting a guard's eyeball. Although the band broke up in 2004, they partially reunited in 2007 with two of the three original members. Their self-titled album went platinum, and the subsequent album was certified gold.
This imaginative children's book was made into a popular movie of the same name, revolving around a boy named Bastian, who finds he has become a character in a magical book. While trying to save the land from a destructive darkness, he comes across another character, a young warrior named Atreyu.
The Never Ending Story is Best Paired With . . .
Atreyu, a hardcore metal band hailing from Orange County, California. While parents may not approve of this band for their children, metal fans will never watch The Never Ending Story again without hearing lyrics like "I watched my aspirations crash into the ground/on the backs of the angels that I've slain" screamed out in anger. This music adds a touch of energy to an otherwise melancholy children's story.
- Neuromancer by William Gibson:
Neuromancer is considered a classic science fiction novel. Fact is it spawned an entirely new genre--cyberpunk. The novel follows a washed-up hacker as he is recruited to help break into the orbital refuge of an extremely rich family.
Neuromancer is Best Paired With . . .
Straylight Run, a band that started as a side project by members of Taking Back Sunday. They originally had four members, including a female vocalist, but were reduced to three after the release of their last album. They have now gone on indefinite hiatus. Their indie rock sound is a nice counterpoint to the grim dystopia of William Gibson's novel. The band named themselves after the final chapter of Neuromancer.
The Jim Henson/Lucasfilm movie starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, is a fairy-tale about a girl who loses her brother to the King of the Goblins and must travel through the goblins' labyrinth in order to save him.
Labyrinth is Best Paired With . . .
No, not David Bowie. Labyrinth includes a character named Ludo, who is a big, dumb, yeti-like creature, from whom the band Ludo take their name. Their obsession with fantasy and sci-fi can be seen in their EP Broken Bride which is about a man who travels back in time to save his wife from a car crash, fighting zombies and pterodactyls in the effort.

The United Nations General Assembly voted Thursday 138-9 with 41 abstentions to grant Palestine non-member state status.
The vote does not settle outstanding issues with Israel or change anything on the ground, say experts.
"We are here for a final serious attempt to achieve peace," Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas told General Assembly delegates before the vote. "Not to end the negotiation process… rather to breath new life into the negotiation process."
Vuk Jeremić, president of the General Assembly acknowledged the historical nature of the vote and called on Israeli and Palestinian leaders "to work for peace, negotiate in good faith and succeed."
Israelis say the Palestinian appeal for non-member state status will make peace less likely. Currently the Palestinian Authority has the status of U.N. observer.
Abbas went forward despite appeals to postpone the request, which the United States says will only make negotiations for a permanent state less likely to happen.
"If the Israeli authorities want to threaten my life, they can," Abbas said according to Palestinian news agency Ma'an. "The whole world realizes that the Palestinian Authority, with all its political and security services, and administrative bodies, has been ready to upgrade its status for six years."
The Israeli government did not threaten Abbas' life, but said said that peace is only achieved through negotiations, and not by unilateral declarations that do not take into consideration Israel security needs.
"Israel's hand is always extended in peace, but a Palestinian state will not be established without recognition of the state of Israel as the state of the Jewish people, without an end-of-conflict declaration, and without true security arrangements that will protect Israel and its citizens," he said Thursday.
Ahead of the vote, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch filed an amendment to a defense bill that would eliminate funding for the United Nations if the General Assembly changes Palestine's status.
"Increasing the Palestinians' role in the United Nations is absolutely the wrong approach, especially in light of recent military developments in the Middle East," he said in a statement. "Israel is one of America's closest allies, and any movement to strengthen one of its fiercest enemies must not be tolerated."
In his speech, Abbas said he"did not come here to de-legitimize a state established years ago, that is Israrel. Rather we are here to affirm a state that must achieve its independence, and that is Palestine."
His bid to seek U.N.recognition was met with "an incessant flood of Israeli threats," he said, including "justification of military assaults and ethnic cleansing,particularly in east Jerusalem."
Israel's occupation "is becoming consistent with an apartheid system" that promotes "racial hatred and incitement," he said. "The window of opportunity is narrowing and time is running out."
Israel and the United States are concerned that the Palestinians are trying to create a state without negotiating a lasting peace with Israel and solving once and for all the issues that have prevented a resolution to the conflict.
Palestinians are "trying to grab statehood without having to compromise with Israel," said David Weinberg, director of public affairs at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, a think-tank in Israel.
Rather than leading to a Palestinian state or improving the prospects for negotiations with Israel, the bid will do the opposite, Weinberg said. "It will harden positions on all sides and force Israel to take actions against Abbas' authority that will set any chances of real peace emerging back for years."
Among the issues to be decided are the status of Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians claim for a capital, the details of borders and security, mutual recognition and refugee claims.
Palestinian leaders are pressing ahead, arguing that improving their status at the United Nations will give them better bargaining power against Israel, which they say has been stalling on negotiations while expanding settlements on land Palestinians want for a state.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior official of the Palestine Liberation Organization and a former peace negotiator, said upgrading Palestinian status in the United Nations from observer to non-member state status will "enshrine our right to self-determination and statehood" and "help prevent Israel from destroying the chances for peace."
She said Israel is working against peace by annexing Jerusalem and building a security barrier on land that should belong in a Palestinian state.
The world must move quickly, "unless there are no more chances of peace," she said.
Unlike Abbas' failed attempt at gaining full state recognition in 2011, Thursday's measure does not require Security Council approval or risk a U.S. veto.
Many U.N. countries are likely to agree to the Palestinian request, including France, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet News. The United States sees it as the wrong move, according to the State Department.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says U.N. recognition of an independent Palestinian nation won't help Palestinians or Israelis reach a lasting two-state peace agreement. Clinton said the "path to a two-state solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people is through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York."
"We're focused on a policy objective on the ground for the Palestinian people, for the people of Israel, which is to end up with two states that can live peacefully next to each other," Nuland said. "Nothing in this action at the U.N. is going to take the Palestinians any closer to that. ... We think it makes other steps that might improve the lives of Palestinians and Israelis harder."
Israel says the U.N. request contradicts agreements with the Palestinians that issues of statehood and sovereignty would be settled through negotiations.
Israel has threatened to withhold tax revenue it collects for the Palestinian Authority, while members of Congress have threatened to cut aid payments to the Palestinian governing body. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said only negotiations with Israel can bring about a Palestinian state.
Weinberg said there's room for compromise, "but Israel's not going to fold under international dictate coming through Palestinian maneuvers in the U.N. where they have an automatic majority."
Many negotiations have taken place since peace talks began with the Oslo accords in 1994 but have not resulted in agreement. Abbas insisted that Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem cease before talks resumed. Israel won't accept such preconditions.
Aaron David Miller, vice president of the Woodrow Wilson Center and a former Middle East peace negotiator for the State Department, said Abbas' bid at the United Nations is "a non-consequential move by a weak player holding very weak cards."
The U.N. status may allow the Palestinians to request charges against Israeli actions in international bodies such as the International Criminal Court. Even if Palestinians bring Israel before U.N. legal bodies, the outcome of such efforts is uncertain because Israel would bring counter charges against the Palestinians, Miller said.

Bills gave up too much for Bledsoe [7:32 PM]
Fox Sports reports: The Buffalo Bills chose not to sign free-agent Jeff Blake as their next quarterback and, instead swung a deal for veteran Drew Bledsoe. That was smart. But it took a first-round draft choice to get him, and that was too expensive.
Fearlessly grading Saturday's first-rounders [7:19 PM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'The Bills thought long and hard (according to Bills not at all) about taking Albert Haynesworth here, but in the end Tom Donahoe opted to go for Williams. He's a big, powerful player who can play right or left tackle -- probably right for the Bills. That will allow them to move Jonas Jennings to guard in what shapes up as a decent line. Grade: B. That defensive line still has a huge hole in the middle.'
Bledsoe move good for Pats, but great for Bills [6:59 PM]
CBS Sportsline reports: The Buffalo Bills are now a playoff contender. There, it's said. Crazy? Did anyone think the New England Patriots could win the Super Bowl last season? Didn't think so.
7th Round pick - part 4: ILB Antone 'Dominique' Stevenson [6:09 PM]
NFL.com reports: College: Tennessee Height: 5-11.6 Weight: 222
Very quick and active run stuffer... Stays under control knifing through the line of scrimmage... Has good strength to take on the fullback to fill the rush lanes... Uses his hands well when covering the tight ends and running backs in the short area passing game... Has the quickness to string plays wide and prevent the long gain around the outside corner... Adjusts to the flow of traffic and has fluid lateral agility... Could shift to fullback at the pro level.
Super Bowl champs trade Bledsoe to Buffalo [6:06 PM]
AP reports: 'Even before the deal was announced, the Bills opened their box office to accommodate fans who heard the trade was imminent. Buffalo, which failed to sell out four of its eight home games last season, drew 504,709 fans last year, the lowest since 1987.'
7th Round pick - part 3: FB Jarrett Ferguson [5:52 PM]
NFL.com reports: College: Virginia Tech Height: 5-8 Weight: 222
Bruising inside runner with good weave-and-hip movement upfield... Changes direction well and has an assortment of moves to cut back outside when turning the corner... Breaks arm tackles easily and has excellent short-area quickness... Has large, soft hands and great ball awareness as a receiver out of the backfield.
7th Round pick - part 2: WR Rodney Wright [5:50 PM]
NFL.com reports: College: Fresno State Height: 5-8 Weight: 175
Crisp route runner with an explosive burst off the line ? Can transition quickly, showing a fluid change of direction ? Fearless in a crowd and has the acceleration needed to defeat defenders racing down the sidelines.
Post Pick Press Conference On OG Mike Pucillo [5:47 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: [NOTE: writer is slightly confused or in a hurry - they list him as a 6th round pick]
Q: Do you like him as center?
A: We thought that he had the ability to play center. We took him as a guard; at least what we valued the most was him at a guard. He's a smart kid and has enough athletic ability to add to that spot as maybe a backup or a second at the position. As you know in the NFL especially in the NFL the more positions you can play and the more flexible you are the better. The more things you can do to be the utility guy, especially when you dress 8 guys, you have to have someone who can play at center as well in this league.
Bills aquire Bledsoe in Trade with New England [5:10 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Bills today announced that the team has acquired quarterback DREW BLEDSOE from the New England Patriots in exchange for a first-round pick in 2003

7th Round Pick: OG Mike Pucillo [4:29 PM]
NFL.com reports: College: Auburn Height: 6-4 Weight: 317
Intelligent lineman who compensates for a lack of an athletic physique with sound technical skills... Has effective linear speed... Shows good hand placement and takes excellent blocking angles with surprising quickness, despite his frame... Dominates defenders with his lateral agility, showing suddenness to reach and zone... Knows how to sink his hips to maintain balance... Shows good explosion coming off the snap
Drew in blue [3:53 PM]
CNNSI reports: 'The Bills landed the best remaining available veteran quarterback, filling their most glaring need in a way that puts them in position to win now. And yes, they're going to enjoy telling Jeff Blake to take a barrel over Niagara Falls. '
Marvin 'Kevin' Thomas picked by Bills. [3:33 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Cornerback for University of Nevada-Las Vegas Rebels. Four-year starter with a knack for making the big play...Good athlete with a quick burst off his backpedal...Very smooth in transition...'

Bills acquire QB Bledsoe from Patriots [2:17 PM]
CNN/SI reports: 'After much speculation and several trade overtures, the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills reached an agreement Sunday to trade quarterback Drew Bledsoe, the Super Bowl champions' Web site reported.

Has thick muscle development in his arms and chest... Recognizes the plays and shows awareness getting to the ball... Holds his ground firmly at the point of attack and shows the power to stack... Uses his arms to defeat blocks... Wrap-up tackler with explosiveness behind his hits... Can control combo blocks with his hand punch... Has a sharp burst to close on the quarterback once he gets past the blocker... All-out effort type with good functional power.
Bills Draft a Buffalo [1:31 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Justin Bannan, 6'3", 300 pounds DT for the Colorado Buffaloes. Profile linked.
Art Shell on Williams pick [1:05 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: As the clock was ticking on this pick, my thought was, "I don't pass on those big tackles." With Williams and Miami's Bryant McKinnie still available, it was a no-brainer. Whatever happens with the Buffalo quarterback situation, the Bills have a big, athletic offensive tackle to anchor the line.
It's Official: Bledsoe to Buffalo for 2003 1st Round Pick [12:55 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'The New England Patroits website reports the deal is complete but the Bills appear to be working out some details directly with Bledsoe before they make it official.'
Bledsoe to Bills for 2003 first-round pick [12:39 PM]
ESPN reports: 'The Patriots will receive the Bills' first-round choice in the 2003 draft. But the trade is conditional upon Bledsoe passing a physical, possibly as early as this week, and reporting to training camp in July. Failure to fulfill either of those conditions would void the trade. The sources said the trade has not been officially announced yet because Patriots owner Bob Kraft, who is very fond of Bledsoe, is attempting to reach him by phone to apprise him of the deal.'
Bledsoe traded [12:26 PM]
New England Patriots reports: 'The Patriots will receive the Bills first round pick in the 2003 draft for Bledsoe.'

AP photo of Williams and Family. [11:59 AM]
AP reports: Mike Williams (holding Bills jersey), an offensive tackle from Texas, is joined on stage by family after being selected as the fourth pick overall in the first round by the Buffalo Bills of the 2002 NFL Draft in New York Saturday, April 20, 2002. The family members are unidentified.
Bledsoe talks heat up [11:45 AM]
TBD reports: ESPN's Chris Mortenson reports that a deal to trade for Drew Bledsoe is more likely to happen today than not. The Bills have offered higher round selections, which now almost certainly includes a 1st rounder in 2003, and additional draft picks. The Patriots appear willing to acept the fact that none of these draft choices will be in this year's draft.
Hold please ..... [11:34 AM]
AP reports: Mike Williams took a while to get to the podium after NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced the Buffalo Bills selected him with the fourth overall pick. Williams was on the phone. The 6-foot-5, 375-pound OT from Texas answered a call on his cell phone from Bills president and GM Tom Donahoe just before his name rang out. "I got called and all of the sudden I was like, "Oh man, what are they going to tell me?'" Williams said. "Tom Donahoe got on there and that's why I was a little late." Williams couldn't even remember what Donahoe said. "It was just ... I know it was a happy moment," Williams said with a big grin. "I think he said congratulations to me, the best I can remember."'

Two major roadblocks [9:13 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Williams, the most talented lineman the Bills have acquired since they drafted Bruce Smith, represented the best player available. That was the theme of the day for the Bills.'
Mammoth Williams brings nastiness to Bills' line [9:12 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"When I get on the field, I like to punish people," said Williams, a former all-state defensive tackle at The Colony (Tex.) High School. "It feels great. You just grab him and you got him. You look in his eyes and he's like, "Oh please, let me go. I'll never do it again.' And I say, "Oh no, no. You're going down.'"'
Bledsoe trade talks hit snag [9:11 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills conceivably could sweeten the offer of picks next year. But sources on both sides had maintained the best chance for a deal was before this year's draft.'

Kansas science committee denounces changes
The committee originally charged with revising Kansas's state science standards has resoundingly denounced the changes imposed by the antievolutionist majority on the state board of education. On August 2, 2005, the committee voted 16-3 to submit a lengthy critique of the board's revisions to the draft standards, which closely followed those proposed by a local "intelligent design" organization.

I've made the ranch, citrus ginger, blue cheese, western, and thousand island and have been pleased with the outcome. Ranch and Western are staples at our house, better known as "white" and "red". The ranch dip is something I came up with based on the dressing recipe and is one I take to potlucks and picnics regularly...really easy and really good. I'm looking forward to trying more of these this summer! Have fun with them.

Matt Cronin for Tennisreporters.net has insight into some recent rides taken on the WTA's coaching-go-round by two lady ballers with very similar games:
Nicole Vaidisova is again being coached by her former coach and step dad again, Alex Kodat. She let go of David Felgate, who could do nothing with her outside of practice. But neither could Kodat prior to their emotional split. Her confidence is near nil. Coaching changes are both under and overstated in tennis. Take Ana Ivanovic's recent hire of Craig Kardon, who coached Martina Navratilova and Jennifer Capriati, among others. If memory serves us correctly, when Capriati stopped working with Kardon, she went back to her dad, Stefano, and then to her brother, Stephen. She, Like Vaidisova, liked to her keep her family close. So did Mary Pierce, who also worked with Kardon. Pierce did dispense with her father Jim as a coach, but toward the end of her career, was primarily coached by her brother, David. And what of AI? Neither of her parents coach, but her mother runs a very tight ship and is extremely aware of the ins and outs of her daughter's career. How long does Kardon last, and will he really have Ivanovic's full attention?Well, no surprise Vaida went back to her stepdad after her horrendous results recently. I mean, the only tourney appearances the girl makes these days is on the scrawny arm of The Worm. Kodat knows her game and personality very well and was the person who coached Vaida to two Grand Slam semifinals (Roland Garros '06, Aussie Open '07), two major quarterfinals (Roland Garros '07, Wimbledon '07), and a Top 10 spot. I don't think you can argue with those results, though I hope Kodat finally fixes the ferociously funky technique on her backhand side. Not pretty.
And what of Kardon's effect on Ana? Well, she had great results with Sven Groenefeld and he was only part-time. I imagine even if there isn't tons of closeness between these two (and she's been public about liking some distance with her coach), she could still get the best out of this relationship. Much of it depends on her attitude: if she can lighten up on herself and not expect perfection, Ana might just get out of her Serbian Slide with Craig's help.
Let's just hope she doesn't call on any old advice. *crosses fingers*

Conceptualizing Emergent Archival Forms: A Case Study of the Occupy Wall Street "Archive"
Zack Lischer-Katz
Monday, 6:30pm
In this paper, the author begins to conceptualize how online archival collections can be understood and evaluated. The author uses the Occupy Wall Street archival project as a case study for looking at this new form of archive, one constituted by multiple institutions and multiple websites. Expanding the concept of interface as a tool for examining an archival collection that transcends typical physical demarcation, the author analyzes the connections between different archival websites and institutions, and draws conclusions about the general nature of online archival collections dispersed across various organizations and websites. The paper provides a new approach for research into online archives, suggesting future avenues of inquiry, including future work on studying user behavior within these types of archives.

SACRAMENTO, CA (KXTV) - A big change could be looming, one that might increase your chances of getting arrested for driving under the influence.
A new proposal would drastically lower the blood alcohol level required to prove you're drunk. Right now, you're considered drunk if you're blood alcohol level is 0.08 percent or higher.
It would take four drinks for a 200 pound man to reach that limit. It would little more than two drinks for a 140 pound woman.
Office of Transportation Safety spokesperson Chris Cochran said there's a lot of variation between people and how many drinks they can have.
"A woman who's 100 pounds, didn't have much to eat, didn't get a good night's sleep, she may only be able to have one or two drinks and be buzzed, fail a field sobriety test, maybe reach an illegal BAC level. A man, well over 200 pounds (who) had a big meal, he can have 4 or 5 drinks over a few hours and never get that buzzed and not get to that legal limit," Cochran said.
But now, the NTSB is recommending the legal limit be lowered to 0.05 percent.
News10 reporter Suzanne Phan's Experiment:
With the proper supervision, I drank just enough to qualify as drunk under the proposed new guidelines. It doesn't take long for a 100 pound, 5 foot 1 female to get legally drunk if the level is just 0.05.
After two beers in 20 minutes, I officially register point 0.076 according to the California Highway Patrol breathalyzer test, that's barely under the current limit of 0.08 percent, but well over the proposed limit.
On a side note, I purchased a digital breath alcohol tester from a local drug store. A quick test showed that my level was at 0.11 percent on that device.
As I got behind the wheel for a simulated driving test at the Safety Center in Sacramento, it didn't take me long to crash after barely missing a tree and then hitting a stop sign.
I also failed the field sobriety test. The officer checked my eyes as I followed his finger from side to side, after which I learned that my eyes are darting back and forth.
Standing barefoot, I was told to stand on one leg and hold the other leg off the ground; but, my leg was 8 inches off the ground, not 6 inches as instructed. I wobbled a lot, even though I claimed that yoga lessons have helped me maintain my balance.
For another test, the officer told me to close my eyes, lean my head back and tell him when 30 seconds has elapsed. Despite my system of counting 1- Mississippi, 2-Mississipi, 3-Mississipi, etc., I told the officer "it was time" after 12 seconds. Another test involved me counting on my fingers while holding them in an unusual way.
All of these tests also included numerous questions about my physical and mental state of mind - if I'm taking medication, when was the last time I ate, etc.
The Debate:
The CHP aggressively targets drunk drivers now, but what if the blood alcohol level is lowered to 0.05 percent?
"It makes people more cautious. For a lot of people, when they know that the blood (alcohol) level is much lower are going to be much more cautious of how much they have in order to make sure that they can drive safely," Safety Center's Gail Kelly said.
"It goes back to those individuals and drivers and members of the community," CHP Officer Adrian Quintero said. "They need to understand if you consume one beer or so, it's going to affect anybody's ability to operate a vehicle safely."
Opponents of the proposed new level said it targets moderate social drinkers and not the hard core population of people who've had way too many drinks. They said those are the people who cause the vast majority of alcohol related fatalities.

Chloasma, which is also referred to as melasma, is a common problem among women who are pregnant with fluctuating hormones and is sometimes called the "mask of pregnancy" due to the patchy areas of discoloration it produces.
Sun protection using a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays is critical. Other treatments include, Hydroquinone, retinoids, lightening ingredients, and AHA. However, many of these ingredients cannot be used during pregnancy or while lactating. Always check with your dermatologist.
Fluctuating hormones can lead to a skin condition called chloasma which is also referred to as melasma. It is a common problem among women who are pregnant. This condition is so closely linked with pregnancy that it's sometimes called the "mask of pregnancy." It's referred to as a mask because of the patchy areas of discoloration it produces. These discolored areas are due to increased production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin and hair its color. It's most common in areas that are exposed to sunlight, especially the face.
Chloasma is closely linked with pregnancy and fluctuations in hormones, but you don't have to be pregnant or even a female to get it. Men can get it too, although less frequently. Women who are on birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy are more prone to this skin condition. Sun exposure plays a role since it's most likely to affect areas exposed to sunlight like the face. Genetics are also a factor in determining who will acquire the condition.
In some cases, the patchy areas of pigmentation disappear after the baby is delivered or after stopping birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, but the changes can also be persistent in some women and take years to fully resolve. Not surprisingly, most women don't want to wait that long. Fortunately, there are treatments that can help.
Sun protection is critical for treating chloasma since sunlight seems to play a role in triggering it. Use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays that can damage skin and increase melanin production. UVA rays can penetrate glass, so it's important to wear it indoors and outdoors along with protective clothing and a hat.
One of the most reliable treatments for chloasma is a chemical called hydroquinone. It works by blocking the production of melanin. It also helps to lighten existing pigmented areas while preventing the formation of new ones. Another ingredient called kojic acid works in a manner similar to hydroquinone, by blocking melanin production. Both ingredients are proven to lighten pigmented skin, and they work even better when combined with glycolic acid, a weak acid that gently sloughs off the outer layer of dead skin cells. This sloughing action helps hydroquinone or kojic acid penetrate better, which makes them more effective for lightening areas of pigmentation.
Some products contain hydroquinone in combination with glycolic acid to maximize its pigment-lightening effect. Others contain kojic acid combined with glycolic acid in a hydroquinone-free formulations in order to lift and lighten darkly pigmented areas. Glycolic acid also improves the texture of skin, causing it to feel smoother and reflect light better.
Prescription-strength retinoids help to fade pigmented areas due to chloasma, but it can take 6 months or more to see improvement. Retinoids are also cause redness and skin irritation, which some people can't tolerate. Another treatment that works in some cases is a series of facial peels using weak acids. Dermatologists do these treatments in their office, but it takes more than one peel to get visible lightening, and the treatments can be expensive.
Please note that many of the treatments mentioned contain ingredients that are not pregnancy-safe, and should only be used post-pregnancy.
Chloasma is a challenging condition to treat, but hydroquinone or kojic acid combined with glycolic acid can lighten areas of pigmentation over time. These ingredients are also effective for treating age spots, liver spots and freckles. The key is to use these ingredients consistently along with adequate sun protection to prevent further melanin production and skin darkening.

I took a lot of advice from other reviewers, and it turned out great! I doubled the pesto & cream cheese, used 1/2 cup chicken broth instead of water, and added mushrooms & zucchini. I also halved the grape tomatoes and just added them on as garnish instead of cooking them. I served it with spaghetti, and it was fantastic!

Some of my players have tried to use software packages, but the software is too complicated for them - too bad. Many of these plans are good!

|Dragons are 2A State Runners-up
|Written by April Peregoy
Coming up only three points short of taking the state title, Holyoke's Dragon basketball team claimed runner-up honors at the Colorado State Basketball Tournament at Pueblo on Saturday, March 14. In Saturday's championship game, the Colorado Springs Kodiaks took the first lead of the game and never trailed, topping the Dragons 42-39 for the state title.
The game ended the Dragon basketball season with an impressive 25-2 record, and put the team in the CHSAA record book for holding its opponents to an average 34.30 points per game during the season—the lowest in Colorado basketball history.
"This is the best scoring defensive team I've ever had," said coach John Baumgartner. "The great thing about them is they play for each other. It will be hard for the seniors to leave us. They will leave big holes for us to fill next year."
About the championship game, Baumgartner said, "They played their hearts out. As a coach, I feel bad for my kids because they deserved to win. They worked their butts off all season."
He added he thought his players did well on Saturday, they just couldn't get their shots to fall. "We can't be ashamed," he said. "It wasn't a bad game for us, we just lost to a great team who played a little better than us that day."
Scoring was tight in the first quarter, with CSS hitting the first three of the night, quickly followed by another from Evan Swanson to tie the score. Two more times in the period, the Kodiaks pushed ahead only to have the Dragons catch up. At the end of the first eight minutes, CSS led by two, 11-9.
First half of the second quarter played out much the same way as the first, with Holyoke catching up to the Kodiaks at 15. However, CSS used the rest of the period to extend the lead to six, with the score 24-18 as the teams headed into the locker rooms at halftime.
In the third, the Kodiaks maintained their six-point advantage, despite the efforts of Kyle Carper, who scored three two-pointers. It was a low-scoring quarter for both teams, with each adding only six to the scoreboard.
Heading into the final stretch, Evan Swanson kept the Dragons within reach with a three-pointer. But again, thanks largely to DeLovell Earls, CSS pushed ahead to 36 points, leaving the Dragons facing a nine-point deficit with 4:33 remaining on the clock.
"That Earls kid is tough," said Baumgartner. We played good defense on him in the first and third quarters, but unfortunately, not so well in the second and fourth."
This time, it was Holyoke's turn to have the momentum as Carper dodged the Kodiak defense to put up seven points for his team, bringing them within two with 2:28 left in the game. During the next CSS possession, Swanson forced the jump ball, turning possession back over to the Dragons. However, Earls then stole it to add another two for CSS. Carper answered with a two for Holyoke, but Earls again followed up with a two-pointer of his own.
Down by four with only a minute left in the game, Swanson hit another three, bringing the Dragons within one point. Carper then got a steal and was fouled with only 20 seconds on the clock. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the ball in the hoop and CSS once again had control. Ryan Baumgartner fouled Andre Brown, sending him to the line with eight seconds left to play. He connected on both free throws.
Holyoke's final shot came up short, allowing Colorado Springs to hold on to the win and the state championship title.
Carper led the team with 21 points, followed by Swanson with 11. The Dragon team was 16 for 39 in field goal shooting for a 41 percent average. CSS was 15 for 31 for a 48 percent average.
Rebounding stats show HHS did not do as well as usual, grabbing only 14 balls, compared to the Kodiaks' 24. Michal Brown pulled down the most with four.
Defensively, Holyoke had a good game, causing 16 turnovers, six blocked shots and 11 steals. CSS had only six steals and no blocked shots.

On the season as a whole, and especially during the state tournament, coach Baumgartner had a final thank-you for the fans. "We've loved the support," he said. "It was unbelievable how many came out to Pueblo to watch us, and we appreciated it. The team was truly touched by how many community members and school staff came to support us."

I'm obnoxious, I'm flowing crazy, I need to stop this
Don't knock this, you niggas lazy ya'll need to watch this
Preposterous if you can fathom how you can block this
My phantom was seen on Candler, you ride the transit
No options you niggas can't act like ya'll forgot this

It's my metropolis, I'll drop a 12 on ya so colossus
My swag plus my drop top yellow jag why they gossip

Profess it but Gucci didn't graduate from college
Your girlfriend says my ear rings are erotic
My lambo doors open upward they're robotic
It's Gucci

Gorilla goons with the tool down to act a fool
Birds in the living room, it's like Atlanta zoo
Lions, tigers, minks, crocs, and gators for my shoes
Monkey niggas in my hood, I'm living in the zoo
Birds in the living room and the kitchen too
I'm a tiger in the bedroom, ask your baby boo
I got lions, tigers, bears in my hood and closet too
But my gun can stop an elephant just like Atlanta zoo (gucci)

I lean laid with a bad bitch Black and Asian
On 20, headed to Buckhead, I'm racing baby
But take that fake jewelry off, that shit is fugazi
You think that you're hotter than the kid you're mistaken
Real and you niggas really really good at fakin'
So trill, I'mma keep it real, I'm back to the basics

Semi automatic that I keep up in the attic and a shank that shape like Tennessee (ugh!)
I cut ya, I cut ya to the white meat
And my partner pushin' more crack than a bike seat
I smoke the best, I get my dro from California
Get high and go to sleep you couldn't wake me from a coma
I might wake up if these rappers got beef I smell the aroma
But these niggas ain't got no heart not even if they had a donor
I roam the streets, so who the fuck is you?

I cropped this from a larger pic that I have of my CG-4. I think the scale is just glued on.
I believe Dennis has an earlier model CG-4 which may be slightly different in terms of the R-A scale. This is a photo of an earlier CG-4 that I believe should be the same as Dennis's.
CG-4 RA scale
I have an Orion AstroView which was the same mount as the original CG-4s, it looks like the one in the photo. The difference is probably just the cover. Maybe Dennis can post a photo of the bottom end of his scope.

Thanks guys. yea Jon, thats the one. Ok, so I don't have the scale. It must have fell off or something. I'm not sure how critical it is to have? Maybe I'll check into see who may have one. Thx again.
If you have the pointer and the degree circles themselves that's what you really need. The vernier is a nice touch but probably not very useful, the other errors in the alignment are probably large enough that the vernier won't get you any closer.. just eyeball it using the off-set coordinates from a nearby known star.

That's what I was just setting here thinking Jon. If my polar align is close, then just using the pointer and RA circle, I should be close when searching for something. Within 3-5 degrees or closer. I think I'll be fine. I'll find out tonight....Clear skies are coming
What I do is Polar align it as best I can. If I am looking for an object, I find a bright star relatively close, look up the RA and Dec for it, use those to reset the RA and Dec on the mount, this reduces the errors in your alignment.
If the Dec cannot be readjusted, then I just note the difference between what should be and what it measures and use add or subtract that offset to that for desired object.
I hope this makes sense and have fun with your "new" scope.

Thats what I use to do with my B&L 4000 also. I miss the RA drive motor though. It looks like Celestron discontined the single axis RA drive. They want you to buy the dual axis I guess? I don't see the need for dual axis on a EQ Mount.
I actually prefer the single axis so I disconnected the Dec Motor... My ideal GEM would have motorized tracking with manual slow motion controls on both axes and slip clutches to allow me to point the scope manually as well.

So I'm working on a conworld and I decided that maps are probably a necessity for getting anywhere within that field. I know, crazy right? Anyways, I've got the landmasses all finished and shtuff (reused from an old map) and I've got ocean currents and climates all worked out. I still have to work on the intricacies of plate tectonics but I have a general idea, again leftover from the old map. I just wanted to get an opinion on the general feel of the climate zones (do you think they fit? or are they complete crap?) from all y'all mappers.
