RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Hurricanes announced a group of 10 new ownership partners in the team, with nine of them based in North Carolina.
Team majority owner and CEO Peter Karmanos Jr. said Thursday that the partners joining him "are devoted to the continued success of the Hurricanes in North Carolina" and solidify the team's standing in the league and the state.
Financial details were not disclosed.
Among the partners are Capitol Broadcasting Company, Inc., which owns several radio and television stations in the state -- including WRAL-TV in Raleigh -- and Raleigh-based Clancy & Theys Construction.
Karmanos had been looking for minority investors since general partner Thomas Thewes died in 2008.

That and I tend to graze the house once I get home but I do keep it pretty healthy for the most part. I am just a few pounds heavier than my lightest weight ever. Not really sure what my race weight is err ideal race weight

Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body. The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but it wasn't until Arizona introduced a hot stone massage technique, called LaStone Therapy, that the use of hot stones for massage caught on. The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. River rocks are normally used because they are so smooth - they have been smoothed over time by the river's current.

The little-known Mexican town of Malinalco is an oasis of peace of peace and history — and perhaps the next San Miguel de Allende
By Laurence Iliff
MALINALCO, Mexico — On my journey through the less-populated mountainous region of the state of Mexico that abuts the nation's capital, I quickly became aware of leaving 18 million people behind.
Cars were few, the vegetation was thick and green, and the bus was moving quickly through the countryside, stopping only for anybody with a few pesos who needed a ride.
What I couldn't yet fathom was how this led toward anywhere worth going to, especially since my search was for some corner of tranquillity where walking was the principal means of transportation but there were enough creature comforts for a good night's sleep and some Internet surfing.

I was already worried about finding an ATM and at that moment in the careening bus eventually hooking up with a restroom. The bus dropped me in Tenancingo, a gray, middle-size town.
A taxi ride finally got me to where I was bound: Malinalco, dubbed by some as the new San Miguel de Allende. San Miguel was also once a quiet getaway before it was discovered first by American and Canadian retirees and now by weekend hipsters from Mexico City and elsewhere.
There are a number of hotels in Malinalco of varying levels of comfort, but if you can swing $150 a night, stay at the Casa Mora, where the artist owner, Raul Mora, personally cares for guests. He was asleep when I arrived really late, but a gentlemanly caretaker was waiting for me.
Casa Mora can be best appreciated in the daytime, with the wonderful mountain views, garden sitting areas, swimming pool and million small details.
The rooms, such as mine called "Impressionism," are decorated with Mora's paintings. I know little about the subject, but I found myself looking at them again and again.
The old hacienda-style home has a homey living room containing the lodging's only television, but there is Internet service in the rooms, and food and drinks can easily be arranged. A hearty breakfast is included in the price.
Easy as it might be to just hang at the hacienda, there is a very cool town out there with deep Indian cultural roots and sites to explore, including Aztec ruins.
I walked to downtown, which is liveliest on weekends when there's an outdoor market and the best restaurants are open. The restaurant Las Palomas is the best known for Mexican food and trout, a locally produced specialty.
The Augustinian monastery is a grand sight, with carefully preserved frescoes and a towering grandeur apart from being just a cool place to walk around.
But save some energy. Getting to the Aztec ruins — mostly a temple carved directly into stone — is a good hike, and carrying water is recommended. So is identification.
This has never happened to me during 18 years in Mexico, but the park attendant insisted I sign in and provide identification, which was back in my room. I had to leave without seeing the ruins.
Malinalco is divided into nine barrios (neighborhoods), each with its own church. The streets are rustic, the houses modest and colorful, and the taxis are also cheap once you've done enough walking and are ready for a beer downtown.
Malinalco goes to sleep early. Guests planning to enjoy the spacious Casa Mora rooms with a book or a laptop into the night should stock up in advance on refreshments and munchies.
There's always a debate in these special corners of Mexico on whether to promote tourism or not, since it can change the place forever. But Malinalco doesn't seem to have to worry about that. It's still far enough from main tourist routes to keep many visitors away and too quiet for most.
And, depending on your viewpoint, there are towns such as San Miguel de Allende that while now bigger and louder, are also more interesting to a new crowd of people who want to party a little.
For now, Malinalco deserves its reputation as a place to re-energize, far from the madding crowd.

Lupita Nyong'o (left) and Cate Blanchett
The magazine's annual list is out and you will NOT be surprised who have been shunned – the Kardashians.
Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o, both Oscar-winning actresses and favourites on Hollywood's red carpet, made Vanity Fair's 2014 international best dressed list and Britain's Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, was named to its Hall of Fame.
It is Blanchett's second appearance and the first for Nyong'o on the annual list, which does not rank its fashion stars. The style setters list is dominated by actors, but it also includes European royals, sports stars and artistes.
Princess Mary of Denmark, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery were noted for their style, along with artist Jeff Koons, New York Giant football wide receiver Victor Cruz and Grammy-winning musician Pharrell Williams.
Williams, on the list for a second time, named actor Johnny Depp as his style icon, while Cruz said he admired Williams for his style.
Although Nyong'o has been praised for her fashion flair, when asked to name her favourite places to shop she told the magazine, "nowhere. I dislike shopping." Tony award winner Neil Patrick Harris was another first-timer on the list, along with actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Idris Elba, Emmy Rossum and Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who said her favourite place to shop was British retail chain Topshop.
The Duchess of Cambridge, a fixture of the list for four years, will be joined in the magazine's best-dressed Hall of Fame by German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, the creative force behind Chanel.
The full list will be published in the September issue of the magazine, which goes on sale on Aug 12. – Reuters

Yes, I recommend this product.
"Because of sesamoiditis, I was told by my podiatrist that I need padding shoes with good support, and that I could not wear my cheapo rubber flip-flops - that I LOVED anymore. So I searched high and low to find replacement flip flops that would be comfortable and fun, have that easy-going, youthful, summer look - but offer good padding and some support. I tried every "padded" or "memory foam" flip flop I could find, but all I found is that no matter how great the foam felt to my fingers, as soon as I stood up, it was flattened and it felt no different than if I were standing on a plain, hard sole. Plus, many of them looked a little dowdy for my tastes. These JoJo flip flops do not compress. They remain soft and cushiony, and the subtle arch support helps take the pressure off the ball of my foot. They are durable, lightweight, and fun. I didn't notice how cushiony they are until fall arrived, and I had to start wearing different shoes - my "memory foam" slippers. My feet are longing to be back in these flip flops! They are such a comfortable shoe. I have ordered a bunch more so that I have spares. Please, New Balance, never discontinue these, and PLEASE could you put a sole like these into more shoes? Like slippers? I would order those for sure!"

Yes, I recommend this product.
"I checked with New Balance to see if any of your casual sandals (not flip flops) had the same foot bed and the answer, unfortunately, is no. I want a pair of sandals to do walks in and flip flops are too risky--I need a strap in the back of a shoe and more straps in the front to feel secure while doing power walking. Please consider putting this soft, comfortable foot bed with arch support in more of your shoes!!! (The only negative about the shoe is that the straps caused sores on the top of my feet until my foot adjusted to the strap. You might consider using a softer strap.)"

A decisional-support tool to model the impact of regulatory compliance activities in the biomanufacturing industry.
Computers and Chemical Engineering
, 28
pp. 727-735.
This paper discusses the need for decisional-support tools in the biotech industry and presents the configuration of a prototype tool for modelling bioprocesses and regulatory compliance activities such as quality control (QC), quality assurance (QA) and batch documentation in a biopharmaceutical plant. The impact of employing a range of manufacturing options on financial and technical performance was used to evaluate the functionalities of the tool. In a case study investigating pooling strategies in mammalian perfusion culture, the modelling tool provides indications as to the feasibility of different manufacturing options and ultimately is an aid in the decision-making process. The tool enables the effect of regulatory compliance activities on operational costs and demands on resources to be evaluated. The study demonstrates the use of such a software tool for the facilitation of early planning of process development and the appropriate allocation of resources. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

"Opera and cycling in Bad Hersfeld" Bad Hersfeld by Nemorino
Bad Hersfeld Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 37 photos
Bad Hersfeld was only called "Hersfeld" until 1949, when they finally got state permission to use that highly coveted word Bad in their name.
It is a town of 30,000 people in the eastern part of Hessen, conveniently located on the regional bicycle route R1 and also on the main railway line between Frankfurt am Main and Dresden.
Operas and plays at the Bad Hersfeld Festival are performed in the Stiftsruine, the remains of a large church that was originally built between 831 and 850. This church has not had a roof since In 1761, when it was destroyed by a withdrawing French army.
To protect the Festival audiences and performers from the elements, the church can be covered by a retractable textile roof, known locally as "the umbrella" because it is suspended from a single large pole and can be folded or unfolded as the need arises.
On the two days I spent in Bad Hersfeld it didn't actually rain, but it was somewhat overcast part of the time, and they left the umbrella extended, covering the church, the entire time. In fact someone told me that for opera performances they always leave it extended for acoustical reasons, so the sound doesn't disperse into the atmosphere. So it really isn't an open-air performance, more a performance in a ruin covered by a tent.
Update: In August 2012 Bad Hersfeld presented a new production of Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), alternating with Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). Both of these were sung in German translation, not in the original Italian.
On the lawn behind the Stiftsruine are statues of the two most famous people to have come out of Bad Hersfeld. Both of these men are called Konrad, and the other one is much better known in Germany, but the one who interests me particularly is Konrad Zuse (1910-1995), the inventor of the computer. (Well, one of them, anyway.)
Zuse was not a Nazi, as far as I know, but he did his major work in Nazi-controlled Germany in the 1930s and 40s, which meant that he was totally isolated from parallel developments in Great Britain and the United States.
Neither the Nazis nor the German military were much interested in Zuse's crackpot invention, which was perhaps fortunate for the rest of the world, but for Zuse it meant that he had little support for his work, and was left to putter around on his own. He was inducted twice into the German army, but was deferred both times because of his job as a statistician at an aircraft factory in Berlin.
He did manage to build four prototype computers in those years, the Z-1 in 1936-38, the Z-2 in 1940, the Z-3 in 1941 and the Z-4 from 1942-44.
These prototypes were destroyed by bombing attacks in the Second World War, except for the Z-4, which survived because Zuse managed to smuggle it out to Switzerland in 1944. There it was installed at the Technical University in Zürich, where it performed useful calculations for a number of years before being phased out in 1956.
After the war Zuse founded a computer company, the Zuse KG, which he moved to Bad Hersfeld in 1957. By 1967 the company had built 251 computers.
A full-scale working replica of the Z-1 can now be seen at the German Technical Museum in Berlin, along with a complete Z-22 from around 1957. In Munich there is a full-scale working replica of the Z-3 on display at the German Museum.

I enjoy in virtual tour thanks to your good page about another "Bad" place. I like small towns and it seems that there is many many good opportunity in Germany for that kind of tourism.
Thanks for that virtual tour!
What a great place for the opera. I like the main photo here.
That is so interesting to know about Konrad Zuse and Konrad Duden. Excellent page Don!
Not being an opera buff, Carmen is the only opera I have seen live, which was over 40 years ago in London.
Home of the first German computer! I din't know.
The old church ruin sounds to be a good setting for an opera, and it must be a really huge "umbrella" covering the open roof.
Like the half-timbered homes although I guess when you live in Germany you are very used to seeing them!
Just saw a comment on Hahndorf, so thought I would tell you how it was named. It was named after Captain Hahn. He helped the German immigrants so much, that they named the town after him.
Another great page, Don.
The Stiftsruine looks a very atmospheric setting for a production. I was very interested to read about the work of Zuse as I confess I had never heard of him, and about Duden too as Chris has "the Duden" and I hadn't realised why he always calls it that!

Inspector general Q&A : recognizing retaliation, reprisal

Email story
Print story
Commentary by Steve Wisniewski
JBER Deputy Inspector General
10/27/2011 -
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska
-- Scenario: A military member went to Equal Opportunity and filed a complaint of sexual harassment against her supervisor. She then received a Letter of Reprimand from her flight commander.
The LOR states the member embarrassed the squadron by going outside the chain of command with her issue and for that she is receiving the LOR.
: The subordinate went outside the chain of command; she deserved the LOR right? ... or did she?
: This situation actually occurred and the offending supervisor was investigated by the inspector general and it was substantiated that he was guilty of reprisal against his subordinate and he was punished under Article 92 of the UCMJ and the LOR was removed from the subordinate's record.
: What is reprisal?
: To recognize when reprisal is happening to you or to avoid being guilty of it yourself, it is important to understand what reprisal is.
Air Force Instruction 90-301 defines reprisal as taking or threatening to take an unfavorable personnel action or withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable personnel action on a military member for making or preparing a protected communication. (You don't even have to actually take the action; it is enough to threaten to do it.)
According to the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, members of the armed forces shall be free from reprisal for making or preparing to make protected communication.
: What qualifies as protected communication?
: A broader definition of a protected communication is one where the disclosing member "reasonably" believes he or she has evidence of a violation of law or regulations including Technical Orders, safety procedures, and policies.
It also includes laws or regulations prohibiting sexual harassment or unlawful discrimination, gross mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. The member then discloses this evidence to a member of Congress, IG, EO, Family Advocacy, law enforcement organizations, inspection or audit personnel, group/squadron commander, command chief master sergeant, first sergeant, superintendent or civilians leading an organization designated as a unit in accordance with Air Force Instruction 38-101 or any person in the member's chain of command. This is an inclusive list and reporting potential violations to anyone not on this list may not give you "protected communication" status.
The unfavorable personnel action mentioned is any action taken on a member of the armed forces that affects or has the potential to affect (for example a threat) that military member's current position or career.
Such actions include (but are not limited to): demotion, disciplinary or other corrective action, transfer or reassignment, performance evaluation, a decision on pay, benefits, awards, or training, referral for mental health evaluation, and/or any other significant change in duties or responsibilities inconsistent with the military member's rank. A cancellation of a choice or career impacting TDY/deployment or last minute orders to a "bad" one can also be a reprisal.
The IG is required to identify and investigate all responsible management officials that had involvement with the adverse personnel action. Responsible management officials are officials who influenced or recommended to the deciding official that he/she take, withhold, or threaten a management action, officials who decide to take, withhold, or threaten the management/personnel action, any other official who approved, reviewed, or endorsed the management/personnel action. To gain statutory protection of the law, the Air Force member must file the complaint with any IG within 60 days of becoming aware of the unfavorable personnel action that is the basis for the complaint.
The proper channel for making reprisal complaints for military members is through their military service IG, civilians should contact their base civilian personnel flight.
: Can you now recognize the elements of reprisal in the case introduced in the beginning of this article?
: The EO complaint is the protected communication, the LOR is the unfavorable personnel action.
If someone threatens or takes an adverse personnel action on someone for making a legitimate complaint about a violation of law policy or regulation, that's reprisal. Military members are subject to prosecution and/or disciplinary and administrative action under Article 92 of the UCMJ. Civilian supervisors are subject to admonishments, demotions, or possible dismissal.

A shameful tumble occurred on Dancing with the Stars last night, after heavy weight actress Kirstie Alley gave her dancing partner a TKO via heftiness. As the two performed to tango, actually rumba, to a rendition of Somewhere Over the Rambo, trained dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy found his taut muscles unable to bear the great Kansan cornhusker Somehow, the pair still earned a score of 21, higher than even their last performance.

If you've ever carried on a semblance of a conversation with someone unfamiliar with your language, you know what an amazing phenomenon body language is. Sharpen up your facial expressions and hand movements and it's like you're living on Pangea, suddenly allied countrymen with all the world's miscellany. Brooklyn-based experimental outfit Body Language embodies this concept of universality; if you played their new single "Lose My Head" at a U.N. meeting, every delegate would end up on the floor drinking champagne and joyfully dancing with envoys they were sent there to destroy. It's like the song version of a secret handshake between Stevie Nicks and Neil Armstrong. There's some theory that 93 percent of human communication is body language and only 7 percent the words themselves. "Lose My Head" makes me wish 93% of music were Body Language.
Body Language's new EP Grammar drops September 18th on Om/Lavish Habits.

They don't know exactly when the construction crews will move north and build Interstate 69 through Johnson County, but local planners envision restaurants and grocery stores at the new exits that will come with the highway.
The state has been talking about linking Evansville and Bloomington with an interstate since the 1970s, and construction began in 2008. The Indiana Department of Transportation is slated to convert State Road 37 in Johnson County into a section of I-69 within the next five to 10 years, according to past timelines. The highway department hasn't completed environmental studies or bought land in Johnson County yet, and when it will isn't clear, spokesman Will Wingfield said.
Previous time frames for the Johnson County part of the project could change because the two prior phases, between Crane and Bloomington and between Bloomington and Martinsville, are ahead of schedule, Wingfield said.
Bargersville, which will have an I-69 interchange at County Road 144 if all goes as planned, is hiring a consultant within the next few weeks to study the kind of sewer infrastructure the town will need to serve future development, such as fast-food restaurants and hotels, along the highway.
The exit at County Road 144 will be a new entrance to the community, and because of that Bargersville might require builders to aim for a clean look, with few signs and any self-storage facilities set back off the road, town council president Ken Zumstein said.
A commercial development already is planned for the southwest corner of the future interchange, and town officials hope fast food restaurants, hotels and medical office buildings will be constructed there, he said.
Both Bargersville and the county are planning for the highway to attract commercial development, particularly at the three planned exits. The county currently has four interstate interchanges, all of them on Interstate 65, at County Line Road and Main Street in Greenwood, at Whiteland Road in the county and at State Road 44 in Franklin. An additional 65 exit at Worthsville Road is in the works.
The White River Township Fire Department will have to move its headquarters at 850 S. Mullinix Road because it will be in the path of the I-69 project. The fire department is buying property on Morgantown Road north of Smith Valley Road in anticipation of having to move to the headquarters.
The county land along the interstate route through White River Township is already zoned for commercial projects such as grocery stores and restaurants. The county's land-use plan for property around its two future interchanges at Smith Valley and County Line roads also calls for commercial development.
"It's really kind of a broad canvas on which to put development," county planning and zoning director David Hittle said.
The county won't do much to control how the area develops, beyond road work to make sure streets can eventually handle traffic coming off the new highway. Officials expect land west of the Smith Valley Road exit to stay green space because it's in a floodplain caused in part by the White River, Hittle said. That area would be difficult to develop, he said. Much of the land east of the coming I-69 in the county already has homes built on it, he said.
Bargersville officials will be more involved in development. They have said a new sewer plant will be necessary for the interchange area to develop, but the consultant will advise the town within the next few months what needs to be built, Zumstein said. As builders approach the town with projects, the town would likely partner with them to pay for sewer lines, he said.
Planning ahead should help the town and developers avoid mistakes, such as installing sewer pipes too small to serve the growth the highway exits are expected to bring, he said.
Sewer is the only utility the town doesn't yet provide to the area. The town's one-year-old water plant is large enough to serve new development, he said.

In the book spotlight
Culture | Morton's new book tells riveting tale of Canada's abortion timeline
The Canadian road toward abortion legalization will seem familiar to those who know America's abortion history. It's a story of social change and individuals willing to sacrifice themselves in the struggle to bring about that change. But F.L. Morton, a professor at the University of Calgary, compellingly tells the story in Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life: Abortion and the Courts in Canada (University of Oklahoma Press, 1992). By focusing on the struggles of two key figures, Henry Morgantaler (who openly challenged existing law by performing illegal abortions) and Joe Borowski (union leader turned pro-life crusader), Mr. Morton turns what could be a dry recital of court cases and legal challenges into riveting social history. With lively writing and good specific detail, he brings alive Morgantaler, a Polish Jewish concentration camp survivor, and Borowski, the son of Polish immigrants to Canada, and shows how their crusades ushered in profound changes in Canadian culture and law.

Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney David Stengel announced today the firing of one of his assistants, Fellicia Nu'Man, for assisting a Louisville attorney in getting his client's 2005 seven-count felony conviction erased; despite a Kentucky law that prohibits the expungement of felonies.
Stengel had evidently warned Nu'Man in the past against doing this, but she attempted to do it again. He discovered that Nu'Man had Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Charles Cunningham vacate and expunge the felony convictions of a client of attorney Tim Denison. He also discovered fraudulent entries in the Commonwealth's Attorney office database, indicating that some of the felony cases Nu'Man had gotten dismissed were still pending.
Attorney Tim Denison
In an article that will appear in tomorrow's Courier-Journal, reporter Jason Riley quotes Stengel as saying, "I'm kind of dumbfounded about why somebody would do this to an office they work for." Nu'Man apparently had the highest dismissal rate in the office. "I don't know whether it was not caring or doing Tim Denison a favor, but it was just not responsible practice of prosecutorial law," Stengel told Riley.
Stengel disputed Nu'Man's allegation that prosecutors routinely set aside old convictions to be expunged, saying he knew of only one other instance. He said his office learned in recent days that former prosecutor Matt Conway—brother of Kentucky's Attorney General Jack Conway—who resigned in May, also helped Denison get a defendant's felony conviction expunged in March. Ironically, this case concerned a different felony conviction of the same defendant that Nu'Man helped.
Felicia Nu'Man writes for the Louisville Examiner, as the African American Professionals Examiner. On her Linkedin.com page, she says"
"My goal is to find a position that utilizes my many talents and skills. As a highly skilled litigator, I have master (sic) the art of negotiation, problem solving, and thinking quickly in high pressure situations. I have personality, fearlessness, and courage. I take on projects with voraciousness. I would be an asset to any organization because I work well with others, execute a plan, and invite analysis for improvement. I am an excellent writer and my utmost goal is to make my living by writing opinion pieces, essays, novels, and articles.

Christopher Plummer of Lyme, described by a government attorney as a thrice-convicted con man who has not held a legitimate job in years, was sentenced Monday to more than four years in federal prison for defrauding investors of approximately $1.9 million in two different schemes.
The 50-year-old Plummer has been held at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, R.I., since he was arrested on Nov. 29, 2010. He pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Though he faced a maximum of 20 years, Judge Warren W. Eginton stayed within federal sentencing guidelines and imposed a 51-month prison term, followed by three years of supervised release.
Plummer's former business partner, Maureen Clark of Stonington, took her case to trial in July and was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, 13 counts of wire fraud and six counts of money laundering. She awaits sentencing.
According to court documents, Plummer and Clark engaged in an investment scheme from 2006 to 2010, soliciting more than a dozen people to invest $1.7 million in a Lakeshore, Miss., development they said would include a casino, residential properties and a medical facility.
Plummer met with investors at the Lighthouse Inn in New London and in Lyme, according to court documents. He and Clark sent emails to the investors claiming that major Wall Street investment firms had agreed to partner in the project and sold their investors "convertible term notes" that purported to pay 15 percent simple interest plus 5 points per year. The documents indicate that Plummer and Clark falsely represented to the investors that they owned hundreds of acres of land and options to purchase land in and around Lakeshore.
Plummer also admitted to representing himself as a managing member of Madison and Wall Investments LLC and telling a victim he could invest his money with a firm that used a computer-based trading system and it would realize a 100 percent return within two years. The victim gave Plummer two $100,000 checks, which he deposited into a bank account in the name of Madison and Wall Investments and used it to write checks.
According to the office of U.S. Attorney David B. Fein, the victim of this scheme addressed the court Monday, saying he had trusted Plummer, who was a friend. The man said he had lost his retirement funds, and "there are months that I just can't make ends meet."
According to the government, Clark and Plummer poured the fraudulently obtained money from both schemes into the floundering Lighthouse Inn, which has since been foreclosed, used it to pay Plummer's mortgage and converted portions of it to cash.
In pleading guilty, Plummer agreed to forfeit his interest in a 4.35-acre parcel of waterfront property on Palmer Neck Road in Stonington, a 2007 Nissan Murano and $18,000 seized during a separate investigation of a separate company, Franklin Power & Light, of which Plummer claimed to be the chief executive. The FBI investigated the company and learned it was not legitimate, according to court documents. It is unclear why the agency did not file criminal charges related to what it determined to be a bogus company. A spokesman for the government said he could not comment.
Though the judge ordered Plummer to repay the victims, prosecutors Michael S. McGarry and Richard J. Schecter wrote in a sentencing memorandum that the people who invested their savings and retirement funds will never be made whole.
The prosecutors wrote that Plummer has "a checkered past replete with fraudulent conduct."
"He is a professional con-man not having held a legitimate job in many years," says the memorandum.
A sentencing memorandum submitted by Plummer's attorney, William H. Paetzold, is sealed.
According to the government, Plummer was convicted of grand larceny in 1988 for a scam he ran in Florida, but he didn't serve prison time. He has a judgment against him from the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of State for Indiana, where the state said he defrauded two victims, each of $100,000. He did not repay those victims, according to the government.

The Hoffmann Connection: Demystification in Angela Carter's 'The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman.' (E.T.A. Hoffmann) (Angela Carter)
Christensen, Peter, The Review of Contemporary Fiction
IN THE AFTERWORD to Fireworks (1974) Angela Carter expresses her admiration for E. T. A. Hoffmann and Poe, who write in such an extreme fashion that they do not trick us about the nature of social problems. She states, "I'd always been fond of Poe, and Hoffmann--Gothic tales, cruel tales, tales of wonder, tales of terror, fabulous narratives that deal directly with the imagery of the unconscious--mirrors; the externalized self; forsaken castles; haunted forests; forbidden sexual objects." However, instead of justifying these stories as an entry point to a world of expanded knowledge in a Romantic vein, she praises them because the "tale cannot betray its readers into a false knowledge of everyday experience." Not only does Carter not want daily existence mystified, she also warns, "Let us keep the unconscious in a suitcase, as Pere Ubu did with his conscience, and flush it down the lavatory when it gets too troublesome."(1)
The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman (1972), published in the U.S. as The War of Dreams (1974), shows Carter as both an heir of Hoffmann and a writer against mystification. The young male narrator, Desiderio, on a mission for the Minister, kills both the master illusionist Dr. Hoffman and Albertina, his equally dangerous shape-changing daughter. He saves his society from a world in which dream and reality will be confused to the point that Dr. Hoffman can use human desire as his means of taking totalitarian control. Desiderio becomes a national hero while doing his duty and murdering the beautiful Albertina, the great love of his life.
Although Carter points out Desiderio's male chauvinism, we should not consider his triumph either meaningless or sinister, given the alternatives. Desiderio's nameless South American city is presented as both masculine and colonial, that is, reactionary in itself, but Dr. Hoffman's attacks on it only make it worse, for he brings about wholesale unemployment and outbreaks of typhus. Furthermore, statistics for "burglary, arson, robbery with violence and rape"(2) rise to astronomical heights, and citizens are safe neither at home nor outside. Carter wants us to think that the novel's outcome, despite the triumph of prosaic reality, is a better one than the victory of an irrationality manipulated by the power hungry. We can understand this idea better through a contextualization of the novel with reference to E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), whose influence is reflected in the choice of the novel's title and in the name of one of the characters, "Drosselmeier," borrowed from the enchanter in the fairy tale "Nutcracker and Mouse-King."
Hoffmann's defense of rationality helps us analyze the debate which has arisen over the outcome of the ideological struggle in Carter's novel. Dr. Hoffman is not at all an elegy for the public defeat of the ideas of Marcuse and Reich, as David Punter sees it. Instead, as Elaine Jordan indicates, "The Minister can represent both conservative common sense, and Marxist claims to be scientific, emerging historically out of positivism. Hoffman is both the surreal, liberatory opposition to both, and capitalist control of desire throught the media." For Jordan, the novel's ending appears to be ironic or despairing, and we are not to prefer one side to the other. In a similar vein Sally Robinson notes that both the Minister and Dr. Hoffman "are complicit in the same ideological agenda: they both position Man as an imperialist subject whose desire gives free reign to exploitation and domination." Ricarda Schmidt appears more sympathetic to Desiderio's triumph, stating, "Carter does not write about a revolution that went wrong, because...[the] reactionary forces were still too strong, but about the painful insight that such a revolution would not be liberating." Schmidt comes closest to the sympathy that Carter herself expressed in an interview with Santiago del Rey for the triumph of rationality at the end.(3)
One way in which we can understand Carter's exposure of the dangers of unchecked desire in Dr. …

The Legend of Zelda
Question from BigN55
What's the fastest way to get rupees?
I need to find a lot of rupees fast so I can buy more red potions. What's the fastest way to get rupees other than just walking around and defeating enemies?
6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
The best way to do this, without any tricks, is to go to the graveyard and release 10 ghosts (Ghinis) from the tombs, then defeat the solid ghost so all 11 will go down at once. You can net up to 26 Rupees this way each time.
To make this easier, attack the solid ghost until it's 1 hit away from death, release 10 ghosts from tombs, then hit the solid ghost 1 last time.
If you don't care about exploiting the game a little, you can plug in 2 controllers, start the game, and go 1 screen left from start. If you haven't already, bomb out the wall and play the Money Making Game.
If you win, press START on controller 1 and then Up+A on controller 2 and SAVE. If you lost rupees, select RETRY.
6 years ago
There are 3 "This Is A Secret To Everyone" locations that contain 100 Rupees each. One is in the extreme northeast corner of the map (from the square below, count 6 spaces from the right to find a hidden passage to it). Note: you can also play a money-making/losing game in the area below the 100 Rupees secret area, but more often than not, you'll end up losing Rupees. Another 100 Rupee location is 4 squares east of the starting screen and one screen up. Burn the bushes in the middle until you get the proper one. The third location, iirc, is two squares west and one square north of the third dungeon. Burn a bush in the middle of the square to locate it (note, don't get all 3 at once, as you can hold a max of 255 Rupees at once.)

Over the years, we've encountered our fair share of ceiling fan troubles, but we've learned from our experiences and want to share with you what we've discovered along the way. We've compiled our best ceiling fan troubleshooting tips to help you identify and fix the most common ceiling fan problems. As always, use caution when working on your ceiling fan and turn the power off at the circuit breaker box to prevent any injuries.
Ceiling fans are the must-have home appliance for summer, but did you know that ceiling fans are also handy in the fall and winter? Changing the direction of your ceiling fan in the summer and winter not only makes you feel comfy, but it also allows you to adjust the thermostat and give your AC or heating unit a much needed break (your wallet will also get some much-needed rest, trust us). Here's everything you need to know about changing your ceiling fan direction and how it can help you save.
You have purchased the perfect ceiling fan – the right size, style, and finish, and are looking forward to basking under the gentle breeze. As you prepare to install the new ceiling fan, here are 10 basic tools to keep handy in your toolbox for any application. Having the right set of tools to install a ceiling fan guarantees a safe project and timely finish. Read Del Mar Fans & Lighting's guide on how to install a ceiling fan.
As temperatures drop during the fall and winter months, energy costs begin to rise just as steadily. Call it coincidence. Call it symbiotic. Call it what you will, but the additional energy used to heat a home can quickly add up to a hefty bill. Read our Del Mar Fans & Lighting's guide to proper ceiling fan direction to see which direction your fan should be going and how ceiling fan direction can save you money on your energy bill.
A high speed wobbly ceiling fan will strike fear in the heart of anyone standing under it or even near it. An unbalanced fan could also end up with damage to the motor's bearing and bushings. This could lead to an irritating unnecessary fan noise. Below we will teach you how to balance a ceiling fan and put an end to your wobbly woes. Don't forget, anytime you work on ceiling fans be sure to turn the fan's power off at the breaker.
Many homeowners rely solely on style and price when choosing a ceiling fan; however, the most important qualities that form a fan are not visible. Del Mar Fans & Lighting uses industry knowledge and first-hand experience to identify the most important elements for selecting the best ceiling fan. We rate ceiling fans based on motor, airflow, design and efficiency. The grade or performance of each element determines the overall rating in stars with five stars being the best ceiling fan available.
Recessed lighting fixtures are light fixtures that are installed in the ceiling to provide task, accent, ambient, and wall washing lighting effects. They aren't as decorative or expensive as chandeliers or pendants, and aren't quite as complex as track lighting. However, recessed lighting can still be a difficult topic, as it requires knowledge of how your house was built. Del Mar Fans & Lighting can help you pick the right recessed fixtures for your room.
There are many elements that come together in the process of creating light fixtures, and each one of these elements has a different level of quality from different manufacturers. At Del Mar Designs, we have a lighting review system based on the level of quality that the manufacturer puts into each element for each light fixture.

State and federal wildlife agents are trying to trap an otter that attacked a boy and his grandmother as they were swimming in the Pilchuck River near Lake Stevens in Snohomish County.
Because it has pounced on people, the otter will likely be killed unless it is a female with pups, said Capt. Alan Myers of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"We're doing everything possible to capture that animal as soon as possible," Myers said Friday. "This is an extremely rare incident. Otters are not known to be aggressive toward people."
The boy needed stitches for bites, and his grandmother could lose an eye from the attack Thursday morning in the river near Lake Connor Park, which is between Lake Stevens and Machias.

A state worker was unable to find the otter, so expert trappers were called in from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, Myers said. They'll try to trap it with a foot snare or tranquilize it.
"We're not sure if it's a hyperaggressive male protecting territory or a female protecting its young," Myers said. "There's a lot of liability in trying to relocate an animal that's been hyperaggressive, and it would likely be euthanized. If it's a female with pups, there's another possible outcome if we can find a good location."
But the otter would have to be killed in any case so its brain could be tested for rabies, if that's a concern for doctors treating the boy and his grandmother, he said.
"There are no known cases of otter rabies in Washington," he said. "That's an extremely remote possibility."
The grandmother was treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and the 8-year-old boy at Providence Medical Center in Everett, the boy's mother, Tabitha Moser told KING 5.
She saw the 4-foot otter attack her son and her mother save him.
"All of a sudden I just heard him scream for his life. He was just bobbing up and down in the water, and as he came up there was something all the way on top of his head," she said.
The otter continued to attack as they left the water.
"Even after it got into the river and out of our way, it stood on its hind legs looking at us like, 'Don't do it again; don't come in here,' " she told KING 5.
Myers said he has not heard of any other otter attacks in Washington, but there have been some around the country.
Lake Conner Park has been closed, and signs have been posted along the Pilchuck River warning people to beware of the otter, Myers said.

Casio QV-2000UX review
I've taken lots of good pictures with it. See
http://community.webshots.com/user/tom_tex for pics of Venice, Rome, Florence, Austria, Washington DC, flowers...
After a year I got rechargeable NIMH batteries and the camera is 500% more useable. With alkaline batteries you can't use the LCD for more than a couple pictures.
I have taken many nice pictures with it but too many of them don't work because of focus problems. This is mostly at night. It wouldn't be bad if the manual infinity setting worked correctly, but infinity must be about 3 feet. Manual focus isn't very useful either.

Governor Mark Dayton is proposing a change in the sales tax which would reduce the state sales tax rate, but broaden the reach of sales tax to many other goods and services. I feel that the reduction of the base rate is simply an attempt at making this idea more popular with consumers who might not realize the large impact this change will actually have. Most people are unaware of the fact that there is a proposal to tax real estate transactions in this new proposal.
As a former high school and college player, it was a hockey dream come true last Sunday at the Detroit Lakes outdoor ice rink. My brother-in-law Rob and I were at the rink by noon. As the Zamboni left the ice, we remained as the only two skaters with a sunny sky, no wind and a perfect ice sheet. We passed the puck over a hundred feet for about ten minutes, when we were joined by two more players about 12 years old. I was assigned to play with Austen in a two-on-two match.
The current hubbub over the "fiscal cliff" and related fiscal concerns such as the sequester and debt ceiling, are distractions from truly serious matters. They only deal with money -- who pays the nation's bills and how we can reduce costs while increasing revenues to regain fiscal health.
On Feb. 6, I experienced the joy of being helped by others. My day began by attending 9 a.m. Mass at Holy Rosary and spending additional time visiting Jesus in the Adoration Chapel. Then I focused my "mind's eye" on the map of D.L. to see what directions I would go to cover the six steps I needed to make. I finished five of them and headed to Walmart. Got my groceries and other needs, went to my car, unloaded my groceries in the back seat and noticed my rear tire on passenger side was very low. So I quickly took off for Tire's Plus to blow up my tire.
The year of 2012 was a record breaker. President Obama was re-elected with a five million vote advantage over Romney. A clear 50 percent plus majority. President Obama also ended the Iraq war, as promised. The war with Iraq was advertised by Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, Hadley, Richard Pearl, Cheney and others, as a low cost solution to a non-threat. The cost was promoted at a low cost of $60 billion. Hey, no problem -- right? Let-'er rip. Gen. Franks claimed to be surprised and delighted to lead our forces -- other generals were equally surprised.
When NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre stated, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," I absolutely agree with him. Another thing I agree with is our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. But what I would like the NRA to tell me is how are they going to identify the good guys from the bad guys? Will they have armbands of different colors? Or maybe some kind of special hat? What if a good guy decides to be a bad guy or the opposite happens? Then how will I tell them apart?
Just about everyone you talk to nowadays, knows that when it comes to business, both good leaders and good employees are getting harder and harder to come by. Many reasons exist from high costs of operating for companies to carrying of the mindset of disrespect of people in general. Taking a look at the past compared to what we have going on now, is a very great span of differences, both in thinking and doing.
In response to the grievous journey of Eric Bergeson (Country Scribe) as reported in the Record of Jan. 13, 2013: Dear Lost and Confused in Austin, Texas, May I point out your errors -- in the order you made them so that hopefully your next trip will be better. 1. No one who flies is innocent. (One is molested -- albeit technologically -- at every departure.) 2. When you're in a strange city, consider a taxi instead of renting a car. 3. I could have warned you, but you didn't ask. 4. Forget New Zealand, sheep aren't too dangerous to a man in a car. 5.
These days our country is "up-in-arms" over the shootings that have recently occurred in Connecticut and elsewhere in too many places. We are panicked and rightly so. Where are we safe? Not in churches, schools, movie theaters or homes. The safest place should be in our mother's womb. January 22, 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to allow people to legally kill the unborn in the womb.
I was certainly not surprised to see Mr. Tobkin's letter on Jan. 20, regarding abortion and Roe v. Wade. He has been writing his tirades for years. What does surprise me however, is his closing question. When will we get this figured out? I believe quite a few of we Americans, do have it figured out. (63 percent approving Roe v. Wade). It seems to me Mr. Tobkin is in the same time-warp as many of our learned Congressmen and talk show hosts.
