Deviant fantasies alleged
Offender should be committed for sex thoughts about children, jury told
A convicted sex offender's thoughts and fantasies about children while he was on parole coupled with his history are a basis to have him committed for treatment under the state's so-called sexual predator law, a prosecutor told a jury Tuesday in the opening day of the man's trial.
In addition to having "deviant thoughts about 7-, 8- and 9-year-old girls" while on parole, Michael Monyelle had public encounters with children, including a girl in a public library, that demonstrated his dangerousness, Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Gabrysiak told jurors in his opening statement.
"He admitted he had thoughts about abducting that girl," Gabrysiak told the jury.
But while Gabrysiak said that the thoughts demonstrated Monyelle's dangerousness, a defense attorney said that Monyelle "never, ever touched a child."
"He may have thoughts," Steven Prifogle told jurors in his opening remarks. "He may have fantasies.
"He may have urges. But he has never had actions."
The lawyers outlined their positions Tuesday at the start of a trial that will end later this week with the jury deciding whether Monyelle should be committed - perhaps for the rest of his life - for treatment as a sexually violent person under a Wisconsin law targeting the state's most incorrigible sex offenders.
Monyelle, 30, of Waukesha, was placed on 10 years of probation in 1997 on two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child for relationships he had with two girls, one 16 and the other 14.
In 1999, Monyelle had his probation revoked and was sent to prison because of inadequate participation in a treatment program for sex offenders.
In 2004, he was paroled with a requirement that he participate in treatment. The following year, he was taken into custody three times, according to court records, for having deviant thoughts about children that he did not report to his treatment group and delayed reporting to his agent.
His parole was revoked in 2005 because of the thought patterns and improper visits to sites, including shopping malls, where Monyelle encountered children.
A petition to have him committed as a sexually violent person was filed last year as Monyelle was nearing release from prison.
Doug Drankiewicz, Monyelle's parole agent in Waukesha in 2004, told the jury Tuesday that he questions all the sex offenders under his supervision about their sexual thoughts. From the very start, according to Drankiewicz, Monyelle admitted thinking about children.
"He began to report that he was having deviant sexual thoughts," Drankiewicz testified. "He was watching a lot of television at the time, and he was envisioning the children that he saw on TV either naked or in their underwear."
Drankiewicz said that he instructed Monyelle to "deal with it in treatment" by sharing it with his counselor and the other participants in his treatment group. Monyelle did not immediately do as instructed, Drankiewicz said.
As the weeks passed, according to Drankiewicz, Monyelle admitted other deviant thoughts, including thinking about abducting the girl he saw in the public library and trying to get a better look at a girl he later saw playing with toys in an aisle at a Salvation Army thrift store.
"He tried to position himself by walking around to see if he would see some parts of her naked," Drankiewicz said Monyelle later admitted.
"Was it his thoughts that got him revoked?" Gabrysiak asked, referring to a decision to revoke Monyelle's parole in 2005.
"No," Drankiewicz replied. "He was putting himself in positions where he would have an opportunity to have contact with kids."
During cross-examination, Prifogle focused on Monyelle never having sexual contact with any children while he admitted thinking about it.
"During that time you never got any reports of any hands-on contact by Mr. Monyelle," Prifogle remarked.
"Correct," Drankiewicz said.
"He wasn't charged during that period of time with any criminal offense, was he?" Prifogle asked.
"No," Drankiewicz replied. "He was not."

'Love and Hip Hop' Star Mendeecees Harris Released From Jail
Mendeecees Harris, who is popular for his appearance on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop New York", is released from jail. According to Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, U.S. District Judge Frank Geraci Jr. agreed to release Harris on a $600,000 bail on Monday, March 31 and his fiancee Yandy Smith dropped $200,000 of the total bail.
Harris was arrested last year. He was accused of being involved in a New York-based drug ring alongside his brother Tyrus Harris and another man named Ronald Walker. The star's brother pleaded guilty that day while Walker pleaded guilty last year. Tyrus is now facing a five to seven-year sentence.
As reported by TMZ, Harris said that he wanted to buy some Chinese food after he was released as well as candies. He and Smith then would drove back to New York City from Rochester, where he was held.
Smith, who once was included in Billboard Magazine's "Top 30 Executives under 30", said that she had no problems with being responsible for the $200,000 bond. "Mendeecees is a very good guy," Smith shared. The couple has a 20-month-old son together. The hip-hop talent manager also has another child from a previous relationship.

News Delegate Anderson on Mend After Eye Surgery
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Delegate Richard Anderson is recovering from emergency eye surgery.
The Prince William County elected leader underwent the surgery shortly after Thanksgiving after, he suffered a detached retina in his right eye. A portion of the retina in his eye tore when the fluid that surrounds the retina, called vitreous (vi-tree-us), to pull away and rip the retina much like wallpaper can tear from a wall.
Three surgeons were called in to help Anderson at the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital the day after Thanksgiving. The following Monday, Anderson returned to the clinic to have additional procedures to repair his eye.
After being released from the hospital on the day of the surgery and wearing an eye patch, Anderson has since removed it and is back at home recovering.
"Your eye is essentially blurred… right now I'm totally blind in the right eye… I'm doing everything with one eye," said Anderson.
While he's not in any pain – just some minor discomfort following the surgery – it has slowed down an elected leader to prides himself on responding to constituent's email on the same day they land in his inbox.
Last December, Anderson suffered and got treatment for a similar condition in his left eye. This time, he immediately recognized the symptoms and sought treatment.
A retired Air Force Colonel, Anderson said his vision is the only physical problem he's ever had. He urged everyone to have an annual eye exam to help identify and correct vision problems before they worsen.
"Thank god we live in today's world of technology. If this was 50 years ago, I could be blind in one eye," he said.
It should take about a month for his eyesight to get back to normal. When he returns to the Virginia State Capital in Richmond for the start of the General Assembly session Jan. 8, he hopes his recovered vision will provide him better insight on the tough issues facing the state.Send news and photos to Potomac Local

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a broadband optical distribution system for a local optical fibre network, comprising a main exchange which is connected to a plurality of subscriber's sites via optical fibres, the transmission system comprising at least one auxiliary oscillator for converting in the subscriber's site the optical transmission signal applied by the main exchange into a lower intermediate-frequency electrical signal. The contempory wavelength multiplex systems are examples of optical frequency-division multiplex systems in which the optical carriers are roughly separated relative to each other. Each of the carriers is modulated with, for example, a digital 560M bit/s signal. In view of the dimensions of the present transmission frames, which are located between 800-900 nm and 1300-1500 nm this implies that approximately 16 of such optical carriers are potentially available. The small spacings between two optical carriers are simply a waste of frequency range. A space of 25 nm between two optical carriers represent a frequency separation of 7500 GHz. All these empty spaces together represent a frequency range waste of 16�7500 GHz.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The above problem can be obviated by using a heterodyne optical transmission system such as the system described in, for example, IEEE Transactions M.T.T., vol. 30, no. 8, August 1982, pages 1138-1149. A heterodyne optical transmission system enables an optical frequency multiplexing, in which the spaces between the optical carriers can be kept small. A difficult factor in said heterodyne systems is the stability of the optical frequency of the laser diodes required therefor. In an optical heterodyne system the signal-carrying optical frequency F1 is combined at the input of a photodiode with a local oscillation frequency Fo. The output current of the photo-diode then includes an intermediate-frequency carrier having a frequency of (Fo -F1) MHz.
So as to obtain reasonable variants for these intermediate frequency carriers, for example 1 GHz, it is imperative that both F1 and Fo are limited within, for example, 100 MHz. Given the fact that the frequency drift of a laser diode because of temperature fluctuations is approximately equal to 20 GHz/�C., this is very difficult to realise. If, for example, F1 =300,000 GHz this means that the temperature must be stabilised to 0.01� C. This implies that this temperature stabilisation must be realised in every subscriber's site, which means very high costs for each subscriber site.
The invention has for its object to provide a solution for the above-defined problem, and is characterized in that the auxiliary oscillator is included in the main exchange, at the same time switching means being incorporated in the main exchange and in the subscriber's sites for on the one hand requesting the stabilised auxiliary frequency by the subscriber's site and thereafter applying this stabilised auxiliary frequency to the said subscriber's sites.
Then the "local" oscillator frequency Fo is distributed by the main exchange to the subscriber sites. The most effective manner to do so is the use of the remote control concept. A subscriber's site "requests" the main exchange to apply a predetermined, highly stabilised oscillator frequency Fo to it, whereafter the main exchange transmits this frequency to the subscriber's site. The subscriber's site includes an optical detector and signal processing means for the modulated intermediate-frequency carrier (Fo -F1).
The distribution system according to the invention has the important advantage that the sophisticated technology can now be concentrated in a professional location, namely the main exchange. This is definitely a better environment for realising highly stabilised optical frequencies than the subscriber's sites. A further advantage is that the cost required for realising the highly stabilised optical frequencies are borne by several subscriber's sites cooperating with the main exchange.
The invention and how it can be put into effect will now be described in greater detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a main exchange in the distribution system according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a subscriber's site of the distribution system in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3 shows a number of optical transmission curves to explain the invention.
FIG. 4 shows a second number of optical transmission curves to explain the invention.
In the main exchange I of FIG. 1, the 5 video signals T are transferred to the desired outputs 7, 8, 9, 20 and 50 via a matrix 1. The output 20 of the matrix 1 is connected to the input of the analog/digital converter 2, whose output is connected to the input of the electro-optical converter 3. The output of the electro-optical converter 3 is connected to an input of the optical node 4. The output 20 of the matrix 1 is connected in a similar way via an analog/digital converter and the electro-optical converter to an input of the optical node 4. Each of the outputs 7, 8 and 9 is also connected to an input of the node 4 via the series arrangement of an analog/digital converter (not shown) and an electro-optical converter (not shown). The output of the node 4 is connected to an input of the optical multiplexer 10. Each of the inputs of the optical switch 15 is connected to one of the highly stabilised main oscillators 16 . . . N. An output 17 of the optical switch 15 is connected to an input of the optical multiplexer 10. The output of the optical multiplexer 10 is connected to the optical fibre 11 for downstream wavelengths towards the subscriber's sites. The upstream wavelengths coming from the subscriber's site(s) are applied to the input of the opto-electrical converter 13 via the optical fibre. The output of the opto-electrical converter 13 is connected to the control circuit 14, whose output is connected to the control input of the optical switch 15.
Each of the analog television signals T is connected to one of the outputs 7, 8, 9, 20 or 50 via the switching matrix. The analog television signals present at said outputs are each converted via an analog/digital converter into a digital television signal. This conversion is effected because of the fact that, in contradistinction to analog modulation, a digitized television signal offers the best solution as regards the linearity of the noise problems. In addition, digitizing offers the possibilities of an improved picture quality and a lower sensitivity to noise. The digital television signals outgoing from the analog/digital converters 2 . . . 5 are converted by means of the electro-optical converters 3 . . . 6 into optical signals which are thereafter radiated into the optical fibre 40 via the optical node 4 (branching point). The digital television signals radiated to the fibre 40 are applied to an input of the optical multiplexer 10. It should be noted here that television signals occurring at the outputs 7, 8, 9, 20 and 50 are intermediate-frequency electrical signals shifted, for example, 1 GHz relative to each other. From the subscriber's site an optical auxiliary oscillator selection signal is received by the main exchange via the fibre 12. With the aid of the opto-electrical converter 13 this signal is converted into an electrical signal which is applied to the input of the control circuit 14. This control circuit 14 sets the optical switch 15 such that the optical auxiliary oscillator circuit requested by the subscriber occurs at the output 17 of the optical switch 15. This optical auxiliary oscillator signal having a wavelength λ5 +Δλ is applied to an input of the optical multiplexer 10. Optical signals having the respective wavelengths λ1, λ2 and λ4 are applied to the other inputs of the multiplexer. Data can be modulated on these optical carriers for, for example, services such as telephone, digital sound, picture telephone. Customary values for the above-mentioned wavelengths are, for example:
______________________________________ λ1 = 1350 nm. λ5 = 1500 nmλ2 = 1400 nm λ6 = 800 nmλ4 = 1450 nm______________________________________
FIG. 2 includes a common terminal unit SEU (Subscriber Entrance Unit). The terminal unit SEU comprises a distribution box DB (downstream box), a distribution box (UD) (upstream box) and a distribution box IB (intercommunication box). The outputs 1 . . . K of the three distribution boxes DB, UB and IB are connected in known manner to the K optical wall outlets 19 . . . 30. This is described extensively in, for example, Netherlands Patent Application No. 8204722. The inputs of the distribution box DB are connected via the power splitter 18 to the optical fibre 11 for forward transmission signals (downstream). The outputs of distribution box UB are connected via the power splitter 27 to the optical fibre 12 for the return transmission signals (upstream). The optical wall outlets 19 . . . 30 are connected to the three distribution boxes DB, UB and IB in the manner disclosed in the Netherlands Patent application No. 8204722. The optical wall outlet 19 is connected via an optical band filter 21 to the input of the opto-electrical converter 22, whose output is connected to the input of the digital/analog converter 23. The output of the digital/analog converter 23 is connected to the television set 24. The selection output 31 of the television set 24 is connected via the analog/digital converter 25 to the input of the electro-optical converter 26 whose output is connected to the optical wall outlet 19.
Let it be assumed that a heterodyne wavelength band is arranged around the central wavelength of λ5 =1500 nm, see FIG. 3. In this heterodyne wavelength band the optical television signals incoming from the electro-optical converter 3 . . . 6 of the main exchange via the fibre 11 are accommodated. The relative distance between these television signals is, for example, 1 GHz, which corresponds to a Δλ of 2.5 pm. The passband of the filter 21 is equal to 1 nm (see FIG. 3). This implies that in this narrow passband 4000 of these optical carrier signals can be accommodated. This has been made possible because all frequencies in this passband are now highly stabilised and defined. The non-heterodyne wavelength bands, such as shown in FIG. 3 for the wavelengths λ1 =1350 nm, λ2 =1400 nm and λ4 =1450 nm the customary bandwidths of approximately 20 nm must be maintained because of the frequency drift of the conventional optical carriers. With the aid of the optical band filter 21 in the subscriber's site II the heterodyne wavelength band around the wavelength λ5 =1500 nm is filtered from the forward transmission signals incoming from the main exchange. All these modulated optical carriers located in this passband and shifted 1 GHz relative to each other are applied together with an associated highly stabilised unmodulated carrier to the opto-electrical converter 22. The frequency of the unmodulated optical subcarrier is preferably located 1 GHz above the frequency of the modulated optical carrier of the highest frequency. Then intermediate-frequency electrical signals appear at the output of the opto-electrical converter 22 with frequencies equal to 1 GHz, 2 GHz . . . n.GHz, wherein n is equal to the number of modulated optical carriers. Using an electrical band filter (not shown) the desired intermediate frequency can be filtered from these intermediate-frequency signals. After digital/analog conversion in the digital/analog converter 23, the electric signal can be applied to the television set 24.
Instead of a mutual spacing of 1 GHz between the modulated optical carriers this spacing may alternatively be chosen greater, for example 10 GHz. If the subscriber opts for a given modulated optical carrier, then the main exchange co-transmits the associated stabilised unmodulated optical carrier to the subscriber's site. Three electrical signals are then produced at the output of the opto-electrical converter 22 in the subscriber's site II having the respective frequencies 1 GHz, 9.9 GHz and 19.9 GHz. The desired electrical intermediate-frequency signal of 1 GHz can be filtered therefrom using a simple low-pass filter, the signal being applied to the television set after digital/analog conversion.
The most efficient mode of operation is, for example, as follows. If no information is requested by one of the subscriber's sites, no optical frequencies are present in the narrow 1 nm heterodyne band. The first subscriber's site requesting information from the main exchange is supplied with a stabilised unmodulated carrier and a modulated carrier containing the desired information. If information must be transmitted to a second subscriber's site, this site first checks whether the desired information is already present in the first modulated carrier or can be added to the first modulated carrier, if its carrier capacity is not fully utilized. If the carrier capacity of the first modulated carrier has been fully utilized, the second subscriber's site requests the main exchange for a second modulated carrier which thus contains the desired information. The first and second modulated carriers are separated from each other in the electrical intermediate-frequency range.
FIG. 4 illustrates the situation in which a second heterodyne band of 1 nm is used which contains, for example, information of a different service. Both heterodyne bands are fully separated from each other. In a subscriber's site one of the heterodyne bands is chosen, depending on the service required with the aid of a variable wavelength filter. The separation of the transmission curves of the heterodyne band can be kept very narrow because of the highly stabilised optical frequencies contained in the two heterodyne bands. Because of the fact that the contemporary wavelength filters are not wholly ideal, a spacing of 5 nm is recommendable between the two centre wavelengths of 1495 nm and 1500 nm. Since the broadband distribution system is, however, fully transparent, the spacing between said centre wavelength can be easily reduced, as soon as improved variable wavelength filters become available. The choice of the separation between the modulated optical carriers in the second heterodyne band around 1495 nm can be chosen independently of the separation between the modulated carriers such as they are contained in the first heterodyne band around 1500 nm. High-power lasers are preferablyused for the auxiliary oscillators 16 . . . N, for example a gas laser. These lasers can, for example, be used for 4 or 5 subscribers, depending on the power.

Globus Maritime Ltd (AIM: GLBS) (LSE: GLBS) announced that on May 19, 2010 it took delivery from an unaffiliated third party of the bulk carrier Sky Globe, the first of two sistership-vessels it had previously agreed to acquire for $32,825,000 each as announced on April 8, 2010.
The M/V Sky Globe, built in 2009, is a geared and grab-fitted supramax bulk carrier with a carrying capacity of 56,855 dwt. The vessel was financed from the Company's existing bank facility and cash balances, and will fly the Marshall Islands flag.
Following the delivery, the Sky Globe is employed on the spot market: for her first trip she was chartered by a first class European charterer at the gross rate of $30,000 per day.
The second vessel, a newbuilding which is currently under construction, will be named Star Globe upon her delivery, which is scheduled for later this month. The Star Globe has been time chartered to Transgrain Shipping at the gross rate of $22,000 per day for a minimum of 11 to a maximum of 13 months.

St. Mirren 0 Newcastle United 2: Cisse pays back Toon with goal on return in controversial Wonga kit
Papiss Cisse scored on his return to the Newcastle starting XI - his first appearance in the Wonga sponsored Toon strip - as Alan Pardew's men beat Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.
The devout Muslim was made to train on his own earlier this month after claiming he could not wear a shirt featuring the logo of the pay-day lenders, who sponsor the Magpies.
But after a settlement was reached Cisse returned to action in Paisley and swept home the opener in a comfortable 2-0 win for the visitors.
On the ball: Papiss Cisse (left) aims a shot at the goal as he wears the Wonga strip for the first time
Juggling act: Cisse controls the ball against St Mirren
Shirt talk: Cisse wore the Wonga logo after advice from Islamic teachers
Looking to the skies: Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse celebrates after opening the scoring
Making his mark: Cisse celebrates his first goal of pre-season
Grabbing a goal: Newcastle skipper Fabricio Coloccini congratulates Cisse after he scored against St Mirren
Toeing the line: Papiss Cisse wears Newcastle's Wonga training kit at St Mirren
Turnaround: Papiss Cisse has been in training for Newcastle in gear brandishing the Wonga logo
Match facts
St Mirren: Cornell, van Zanten (Naismith), McAusland, Goodwin (McGregor), Grainger, McGinn (Dillon), McGowan, Harkins (Kelly), Teale, Thompson (Brady), Reilly.
Subs not used: Mair, Yaqub, Cuddihy, Scullion, Stewart, Dilo (GK).
Newcastle United: Elliot (Alnwick 65), Debuchy (Santon 46), Yanga-Mbiwa, Coloccini, Dummett, Anita, Tiote (Newton 73), Ben Arfa (Vuckic), Gosling (Gouffran 65), Sammy Ameobi, Cisse (Campbell 65).
Subs not used: Streete, Williamson, Richardson.
Goals: Cisse 19, Debuchy 26
Referee: John Beaton
Attendance: 4,216
There was warm applause for United's Paul Dummett and Conor Newton from the home support after the duo helped the Buddies lift the Scottish Communities League Cup during loan stints last term, while the crowd of 4,216 featured 709 travelling Newcastle fans.
Cisse put the visitors ahead when he exchanged passes with Sammy Ameobi and curled a well-placed finish into the top corner after 18 minutes.
Saints No 1 David Cornell was forced to dive full length to save Dan Gosling's header from Ameobi's dinked cross soon after.
However, the keeper had no chance as
full-back Matthew Debuchy slotted a composed finish on 26 minutes after
Vurnon Anita sent him racing through on goal.
Cisse had earlier broken his silence in his row over new club sponsor Wonga, revealing he consulted Islamic teachers before deciding to pull on the team's new shirt.
Beating his man: Hatem Ben Arfa keeps possession for Newcastle at St Mirren
Ahead of the game he said: 'I have had some useful discussions with my club, my family and Islamic teachers in the last few weeks. After a huge amount of thought and reflection I have made the decision to follow my teammates and wear the kit,' he said.
'Now I think it is important for the team and the fans that we concentrate 100 per cent on football.
'Although I did not go to Portugal on the training camp, I was back here working hard on my fitness and preparing for the start of the new season.
'Since then it has been great to be training with my team-mates again. I feel great and ready to go, and cannot wait to be out there against St Mirren on Tuesday and to play my part for the team.'

We are very sorry to hear that Cath Milligan (née Guest) has passed away after a brave and determined 2-year battle against cancer.
Cath joined GYBO in 2003 and worked tirelessly for the group for many years until her move to Scotland in 2011. For a great many members, their first introduction to the group was the website that Cath single-handedly set up and maintained, and the second was meeting Cath herself on a walk or at a social, with her beaming smile, broad Yorkshire sense of humour and her endless words of encouragement, always keeping an eye on the newbies and making sure they were OK.
It is thanks to Cath that so many of us found the group so welcoming and wanted to keep coming back, giving us the thriving group that we enjoy today. The courage with she faced her illness was supreme, she never bowed to it and continued to climb Munros and to run in races whenever her health allowed her to, often confounding doctors with her ability to keep going, and she has been an inspiration to everyone who knew her.
Cath will be much missed by everyone whose lives she touched, and our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Kenny and the rest of her family.
Welcome to GYBO!
Do you want to …
- enjoy the countryside?
- get fit and be healthy?
- make new friends?
- join in other social events?
If so … read on … we are the group for you!
We are a friendly and sociable walking group, part of the Ramblers. Aimed at people in their 20s, 30s and the young at heart, we welcome walkers across North Yorkshire and the East Riding.
You can also join our group on Facebook, where you can keep in touch with other club members, share photos and arrange lifts and car-shares.

No, he got a job really close by to the school and still hangs out at the club once in awhile. He's actually still a major character. Actually, now that I think about it, in the same way Anakin Skywalker became the center of the six Star Wars movies despite not being a protagonist in most of them, Madarame has become the center of both of the manga series.

(Dec. 2, 2010)--UTSA will participate in the Gulf oil spill recovery through a program that helps businesses impacted by the spill regain their economic footing.
The Southwest Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (SWTAAC), a unit of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development, is in the initial steps of implementing the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster Adjustment Assistance (GOSDAA) program. Funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce for a three-year period, the program is one of several projects initiated by the Economic Development Administration to address the economic impacts of the BP oil spill.
"The goal of this program is to identify firms that have experienced a decline in their operations, loss of employees and declines in sales due to the affects of the oil spill, and develop recovery strategies for them to pursue to reverse those declines," said Robert Velasquez, SWTAAC director.
Velasquez advises that under the new program, manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers and service firms are eligible for consideration. However, firms engaged in the seafood industry will be targeted in the first wave of assistance to develop recovery strategies.
The SWTAAC recently opened a temporary office in Houma, La., to administer the program, and the strategy is to address the current and future economic states of each firm, as well as the local and regional economy as a whole by establishing both short-term and long-term plans for economic recovery.
The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration announced the award in September as part of a larger aid program designed to further the region's economic recovery. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig operated by BP exploded, killing 11 crewmen and leading to the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
The Southwest Trade Adjustment Assistance Center is one of 11 centers across the nation that administer Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The local office is administered by UTSA and delivers services to Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
The UTSA Interactive Technology Experience Center camps are for curious youth who are interested in STEM and related topics. This week, campers will study environmental science, robotics and computer science.

Last name origin & meaning:
English: from the Middle English vernacular form, Maudeleyn,
of the New Testament Greek personal name Magdalēnē. This
is a byname, meaning 'woman from Magdala' (a village on the Sea
of Galilee, deriving its name from Hebrew migdal 'tower'),
denoting the woman cured of evil spirits by Jesus (Luke 8:2), who
later became a faithful follower. In Christian folk belief she was
generally identified with the repentant sinner who washed Christ's
feet with her tears in Luke 7; hence the name came to be used as a
byname for a prostitute, also a tearful woman. The popularity of the
personal name increased with the supposed discovery of her relics in
the 13th century.

Ashley Olsen's New Job May Be The Most Impressive Of All
Photo: Gregory Pace/BEImages.
While British Vogue reports today that Ashley Olsen actually updated her résumé last month, the news of her latest appointment came to light just this morning. The actress-turned-major-fashion-player has landed a spot on the board of the CFDA. As one half of the design team behind The Row and Elizabeth and James, the 27-year-old joins the panel of prestigious fashion visionaries a little over a year after she and her twin, Mary-Kate, won the Womenswear Designer of the Year award.
As CFDA board members are welcomed on an invite-only basis, Ashley's new role is a major honor. Other newly added members include Prabal Gurung and Deborah Lloyd of Kate Spade. However, while Ashley will sit by their side, it's reported that Mary-Kate does not have a seat among them. Actually, as far as we can remember, this may be the first time the two sisters have not held the same title. Regardless, it's quite exciting that Ashley's reaching this well-deserved career milestone. Kudos! (Vogue U.K.)

Last year, it was impossible to go anywhere without seeing a pair of black skinnies with a single-ripped knee.

A CUMBRIAN brewery is preparing to make an audacious attempt to set a world record at an open air screening of a cult classic.
Eden Brewery, based near Penrith, will attempt to set a new record for the number of people simultaneously saying a film quotation.
The attempt will take place on Saturday July 5 at Sleddale Hall, near Shap, at a screening of the cult 1987 film Withnail and I.
It starred Richard E Grant and Paul McGann as two penniless unemployed actors who escape to the Lake District as a break from their wretched lives.
- Police wish to speak to driver involved in collision with cyclist
- Ulverston professional actor sets up gin distillery
- Cumbrian men attempt to climb world's second highest mountain
- South Lakeland zoo visitors can enjoy lunch with the monkeys
The brewery makes a special range of beers named after characters, quotes and events from the movie, which will be on sale at the event.
Before the screening, the brewery will attempt to get the audience of 100 people to shout out the line 'I demand to have some booze' in unison.
The brewery has commissioned a film to be made of the event and the final record attempt.
Withnail fans have descended on Sleddale Hall - the location used for Uncle Monty's cottage Crow Crag in the film – annually since 2012.
The screening is put on by Picnic Cinema, which is part of Eden Arts.
This year, the film will be screened on Friday July 4 and Saturday July 5 with hardy fans camping out overnight.
Brewer Jason Hill said he was relishing the chance to get one of his favourite films into the record books.
"In my opinion, Withnail and I is the best film in the world, but unfortunately you can't set a record for that, so I thought this was a good way of trying to get it the international recognition it deserves," he said.
"We will be serving our Withnail range at the event and I hope it helps lubricate people for a really great evening and they are in full voice by the time we try and set the record.
"Picnic Cinema are putting on a really great event and we are glad to partner up with them to help people have a bit of fun and pay homage to a brilliant film at a special location."
Eden released its Withnail range of five beers last year.
This summer it is planning to release two more, the Seville orange and coriander infused porter Black Jake and the profanely named chilli beer Terrible C.

Method and apparatus for sealing an internal tissue puncture incorporating a block and tackle
Image Number 4 for
United States Patent #8128652
A sealing device incorporating a block and tackle for assisting in sealing an internal tissue puncture with an internal and external component. The block and tackle provides a mechanical advantage multiplying an initial force to facilitate compression of the internal and external component together across the internal tissue puncture. The internal and external components may be an anchor and collagen sponge, respectively. The internal tissue puncture is generally an arteriotomy intentionally created in order to perform a vascular procedure. The ability to exert a greater compression force across the arteriotomy eliminates a tamping tube common to prior internal tissue puncture closure devices, and also eliminates additional steps heretofore common to sealing internal tissue punctures. The steps eliminated by application of the principles described herein include tamping the collagen sponge, attaching a tamping spring between a tamping tube and a filament connecting the anchor to the collagen sponge, and later removing the tamping spring.

From: Texarkana, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Herbs/Forbs, Shrubs, Trees
Title: Native plants for Texarkana, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I've been searching for a dependable list of attractive north east native plants, for gardens, landscaping, etc. Specifically, native flowers and shrubs.
We assume you are talking northeast Texas as opposed to, say, New York or Massachusetts. We answer questions from all over North America, but since your address is Texarkana TX, we will go with that. The best thing we can do to help you is teach you how to use our Native Plant Database. Once you have learned your way around the database, you'll be able to search for all kinds of plants, their growing conditions and so forth. Following the plant links will take you to a page on that plant with information on light requirements, moisture preferences, bloom time and color, expected size, preferred soil, etc. That will be far more useful to you than for us to give you a list of plants which might not like your soil or needed more sun where you wished to plant, or even had the wrong color blossoms. We'll use a herbaceous blooming plant as an example, and you can go from there.
Just to start you thinking, look at our list of plants for the Pineywoods which, if you look at the map of Texas at the top of the first page, you will see includes Bowie County.
Begin by going to our Recommended Species site. Click on East Texas on the map, which will give you a list of 133 plants of all kinds native to East Texas. Using the sidebar on the righthand side of the page, select "herb" (herbaceous blooming plant), then Narrow Your Search. When we did this, we got a list of 47 blooming plants native to your area. If you have more specific needs, you can select on Light Requirements, Soil Moisture, even selecting what color flowers you want, and when they bloom. Each specification you add, of course, will narrow your range of choices of plants. We will walk you through one blooming plant and you can go from there to choose more blooming plants, plus shrubs, trees, vines, etc. that will suit your purposes.
For our example, we chose one of our own favorite flowering native plants: Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed). This USDA Plant Profile map shows that it does, indeed, grow as a native to Bowie County. Follow the plant link, and from our webpage on that plant, you can learn that it will grow to about 2' tall, is perennial and deciduous, and blooms orange and yellow from May to September. Butterflyweed requires low water use and either sun (6 or more hours of sun a day) or part shade (2 to 6 hours of sun a day) and prefers well-draining sandy soils. It is a larval host for the Monarch and Queen butterflies, so don't spray those caterpillars, they are baby butterflies. The flowers are also a nectar source for pollinators like bees and butterflies. There are Propagation Instructions, a list of Benefits of the plant, and even seed sources. There are pictures on the page, on which you can click and get a larger version.
So, you see you can apply these instructions to select any plant native to your area that you wish, find out how to take care of it and what benefits it has, and make your own dependable list.

Great review of an amazing series!,
This review is from: The Ashes Series 2010/2011 The Official Highlights 5DVD [DVD] (DVD)
Having watched most of the series live in the early hours, or caught up on the action later in the day on the highlights, i am pleased to say how much i have enjoyed my weekend of reliving the whole experience - all 11 hours of it!! - true there is the Channel 9 commentary but to be honest this doesnt have an impact on the enjoyment - there is Mark Nicolas and Tony Greig for the English (and South African!) views and they have good banter like the Sky boys do. There are interviews before and after most days play and all the great bits of the series are in here which is what you'd expect and is a must for everyone who likes their sport and seeing the English stuff the Aussies on their home turf! Priceless :-)

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru WRX than the Acura ILX, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Acura ILX and the Subaru WRX in the front seats.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura ILX as you will with the Subaru WRX, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura ILX is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru WRX. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Destination Charge for the Acura ILX is much higher than that for the Subaru WRX.
The Acura ILX is about the same width as the Subaru WRX. When looking at overall length, the Acura ILX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru WRX.
The Acura ILX has much less torque than the Subaru WRX, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Acura ILX has a larger turning radius than the Subaru WRX, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Acura ILX is significantly less powerful than the Subaru WRX. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Acura ILX and the Subaru WRX. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries into the Acura ILX as you will in the Subaru WRX.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Acura ILX than that of the Subaru WRX.

Featuring Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0, the 7600 has the ability to read any linear or 2D barcode and capture digital images - empowering users to capture and manage more data than ever before. "Hand Held Products' Dolphin 7600 addresses a growing need for affordable, entry-class rugged mobile computers."
Mobile computer Dolphin 7600
"The Dolphin 7600 truly represents a next step in mobile computing technology. It blends the advanced data collection, communication and computing architecture - that until now were only found in full-size industrial devices - with a smaller, more lightweight and ergonomic design," said Kevin Ahearn, VP/GM, Mobile & Wireless SBU, Hand Held Products. "We spent an extraordinary amount of time on understanding how users will interact with the device, enabling us to deliver an end product that we feel is second to none in terms of its intuitiveness and usability."
Dolphin 7600 - Specifications
• An integrated finger saddle that mirrors the natural curves of the hand, creating an effortless grip for easy, one-handed operation
• An angled barcode scanner designed to limit the amount of hand and wrist movement required to scan barcodes
• A strategic weight distribution that naturally balances the device in the user's hand without additional gripping or stress
Dolphin 7600 mobile computer - Bluetooth wireless communication
Designed for the user that is constantly on move, the Dolphin 7600 combines the versatility of 802.11b/g and Bluetooth wireless communication, keeping workers connected to mission-critical information throughout the enterprise. Advanced Full-Shift Power Management enables the 7600 to endure barcode reading and batch applications for an entire work-shift, delivering uninterrupted data processing and enhanced worker productivity while significantly reducing battery replacement costs. The Dolphin 7600 is ideal for light-industrial applications in retail, parcel delivery, postal, route accounting, healthcare, field services and warehousing.
