A NYC inmate baked to death in his cell on Rikers Island after the heating equipment malfunctioned. The temperature of his cell was reportedly at least 100 degrees and he succumbed to the extreme heat, according to NBC News on March 19.
The 56-year-old former Marine was mentally ill. When he got cold last month he curled up and went to sleep in an enclosed stairwell in a Harlem housing project. This got Jerome Murdough arrested and thrown in jail for trespassing.
Murdough was mentally ill and he was on anti-psychotic and anti-seizure medication, which may have left him vulnerable to the heat. One of the prison's officials said that "he basically baked to death." There was a small vent in Murdough's cell that he could have opened to let in cold air, which is what other inmates did on his block. For some reason Murdough didn't do this.
The autopsy was inconclusive and the medical examiner said that more tests would need to be done to determine this man's cause of death. The unnamed officials said that "initial indications from the autopsy and investigation point to extreme dehydration and heat stroke" as the cause of death for this man.
Murdough's mother said her son was suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and that she had not seen him in about three years. An investigation as to Murdough's death and the temperature of his cell is on-going today at Rikers.
Department of Correction spokesman Robin Campbell released a statement conveying that an internal investigation will look into all circumstances of Murdough's death. She said this would be "including issues of staff performance and the adequacy of procedures."

Around 9:45 pm Eastern Time tonight, Kentucky and Louisville will meet in an NCAA Tournament Round of 16 game in Indianapolis. Two coaches with deep UMass ties in John Calipari and Rick Pitino will direct their respective teams in their own, unique ways. And there will be subtle nuances they gained during their time in Amherst with the Minutemen's all-time winningest men's basketball coach Jack Leaman.
Here are a few stories that have been written on the duo's associations with Jack, who compiled 217 victories from 1966-79 and spent a total of 37 years associated with the University.

What do you guys think of the form 5's just filed today. This may explain insiders that have been selling previously that have hurt the pps. I believe these don't have to be filed until after the transactions take place, Please correct me if wrong.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The filings were very minimal. The form 5 is a catch all at the end of the year to cover minimal transactions not covered by form 4 such as gifts. No big deal and expected considering the large amount of transactions during the year in particular after the lock-up period had ended.
Alden's was 1800 shares Andrus was 6200 and Warnock was 15000.
Hopefully they will not be selling anything substantial this year although Alden has registered 600,000 shares. He does not have to sell those but has a window in which he can.

Five ways to motivate your development team
By Jason Tee
It's always a challenge keeping a team of application developers motivated. But if you want to bring that big project in on time, motivated is what your developers and programmers have to be. So how do you do it? How do you keep that development team of yours excited and engaged in their work?
Silly squeeze ball gifts, a free lunch on a sunny afternoon or allowing someone to leave early on a Friday isn't going to keep the team motivated. Such gestures create goodwill and are important for maintaining a positive workplace environment. But keeping developers eager and excited about programming takes a little more than that. Here are five things you should think about doing:
1. Give your developers the resources they need.
If you're paying your developers $100,000 salaries, why let them develop on machines that have 486 microprocessors in them? You can get a quad-core computer with four gigs of RAM in it for about four hundred bucks these days. Every developer complains that their software is slow, but they'll be much more forgiving of a slow environment if they know their getting supported on the hardware side.
2. Recognize a job well done
Praise works wonders. Ego is an underestimated motivating factor. When milestones are hit and users are happy with the latest increment, recognize the work of the development team and make that recognition public so everyone knows who is responsible for the success.
3. Get rid of dead wood
When someone on the team is not producing, you have to get rid of them. On a long project, the determining factor of how fast a team can produce code is usually dictated by the person that is producing the least. Do not let a slacker determine where the low-water mark is in terms of production.
4. Push for new software releases
Programmers want to be developing in Java 7, not a seven year old version of Java. Knowing that they are using the latest technology is often motivation in itself for developers to stay late, learn something new, and apply new knowledge. Working on old software versions makes developers feel like they are getting rusty. Risk aversion always makes management reluctant to move to the newest release, but at the very least, a development team should know that the project manager is fighting to get the latest and greatest tools and technologies into the mix.
5. Let developers develop
Communicate, but don't over communicate. Too often project managers who are insecure about their capabilities schedule too many meetings in an effort to "keep on top of things." Eight developers in a room for an hour talking about nothing in particular is a full man-day of production lost. Communication is important, but over-communicating is wasteful. Schedule those meetings sparingly.
If you want to bring your projects in on time, you need to keep your developers motivated and enthusiastic about what they're doing. These five tips will help you keep your team engaged, and help you to bring those tough and challenging projects in on time.

Grassley Knocks Radio Host Goodwin for Drug-Industry Conflicts
Sen. Chuck Grassley is squawking about another eyebrow-raising conflict-of-interest in psychiatry. This tale of drug-industry influence comes with another twist: It involves National Public Radio.
Perhaps you've listened to The Infinite Mind, the popular public-radio program hosted by psychiatrist Frederick Goodwin (pictured). On the award-winning program, Goodwin has talked about some big topics in the field that have also mattered commercially to drug makers, including one program in which he said "there is no credible evidence linking antidepressants to violence or suicide," as quoted in the New York Times story on Goodwin this morning.
Well, it turns out Goodwin raked in at least $1.3 million from 2000 to 2007 giving marketing lectures for drug makers, the NYT reports. That includes some $20,000 from GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of antidepressant Paxil, the same week he hosted that show on antidepressants.
"The Infinite Mind" is being canceled. The folks in charge of the program, including Goodwin, say in retrospect that Goodwin's conflicts should have been disclosed. But they aren't seeing eye to eye on the history. Goodwin, a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, told the Times that the program's producer, Bill Lichtenstein, knew about the consulting gigs but that neither of the two men thought "getting money from drug companies could be an issue."
But here's what Lichtenstein told the Times: "The fact that he was out on the stump for pharmaceutical companies was not something we were aware of. It would have violated our agreements."
As for Glaxo, a spokeswoman told NYT the company believes in disclosure, including to public-radio listeners.
Check out Pharmalot for some interesting resources, including details on Goodwin's ties to Glaxo and a link to the Congressional Record with more on Grassley's findings.
Grand Rounds: Here's a roundup of Grassley's revelations on industry payments to leading psychiatrists at Emory, the University of Texas, Stanford and Harvard.
Correction: "The Infinite Mind" has been carried on NPR's Sirius Satellite Radio channel and other public radio stations, but it isn't produced by NPR. Lichtenstein Creative Media produces the show. The initial version of this post called "The Infinite Mind" an NPR program.

Great location, but standards of hotel not worth the money.
Any port in a storm!
This is an interesting establishment, surporting to be a club rather than an hotel.
Apparently it's possible to join, though quite how is unclear. I'd read some rather negative reviews elsewhere, but wasn't put off because I wasn't looking for luxury - just somewhere convenient to crash during the Royal Yacht Squadron's Bicentenarry Regatta. That said, the room was big and the bed comfortable: the en suite bathroom actually contained a proper bath so what's not to like. Okay, the "fifties deco" decor was a bit tired but so what. Best of all, they let you dump your luggage for as long as you like both before check in and after check out- now that really is convenient if, like me, you arrive and depart on foot,
By booking through Late Rooms I seemed to get the "members' rate" but have no idea if this makes me a member!

Staff very friendly and helpful.
Room was lovely and en suite was amazing. Had our evening meal there and im sad to say it was very disappointing again staff were great but food was poor time to hire a chef!

Depressing Room
We needed a room last minute after our ferry from Poole was cancelled.
We used LateRooms.com and there was not much choice left. We chose this hotel because it was well situated and had parking. The receptionist was extremely helpful and at first sight of the reception area we thought we had struck gold. Unfortunately reallity set in when we got to the room. This was one of the dullest, depressing rooms at have ever seen. No pictures, no colour, just old dark furniture. The bed dipped in the middle and we couldn't wait to leave.

Lovely hotel, pleasant Staff, room size and quality of breakfast, were not value for money.
Breakfast was not very inspiring, the rate we paid, was not reflected in the quality of the food, sausages, and bacon were the cheapest on the market, and mushrooms came out of a can.
The Royal Maritime Club
I've known this hotel as the home club, close to the sights, and breakfast was really good.
Would stay again.

Stay in Portsmouth
Don't take your car
Despite laterooms.com website saying that there is on-site parking at this hotel, there are only a handful of spaces at this hotel, resulting in me spending 30 mins trying to find somewhere to park - not what you want after a 4 hour journey and I had to pay £10 for the privilege.
Reception's response to my dis-satisfaction was - it's a city, what do you expect. Hotel looks very run down once you get past reception and it certainly wasn't worth the £125 I paid for one night. Avoid.

Our Little Cutie Pie: Clara's Pie Themed First Birthday (17 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I wanted Clara's first birthday to be special (what parent doesn't?) and had the hardest time
coming up with a theme. One day, the cutie pie theme just clicked. We frequently call her our little cutie pie, and I knew the theme was perfect for her.
As a food blogger, you can imagine the menu was the first thing I started planning. I didn't intend to make all pie themed foods, but it happened that way anyway. My husband and I made all the food ourselves, and I was thrilled with how it turned out. I even made Clara's smash cake look like a pie! I knew I wanted edible favors, and the Nutella Pie Pops ended up being my favorite detail of the party. I also loved the mix of vintage and modern dishes I used for the food table and how they didn't match exactly but still looked cohesive.
My other favorite thing was Clara's outfit, which I made. I purchased a onesie and sewed on fabric to create a dress. I made her matching headband, complete with felt bow, and I also made our dog a matching bandana to wear for the party. Those little details really stood out.

Due to poor road conditions and the continued State of Emergency in Delaware, both Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats will be closed on Thursday, 2/11/10. Both the Milton and Rehoboth locations will re-open on Friday - with special treats... see below!
At Dogfish Brewery in Milton, DE - we are closed for business and all tours for the day have been cancelled again. The Tasting Room and Tours will run on a regular schedule beginning Friday, 2/12/10 (Tasting Room open 11am-5pm and tours at 3pm and 4pm. As of Thursday morning, both tours have open spots - if you are interested, reserve your free spot!). To celebrate the snow hiatus, we'll also be releasing our 2010 Black & Blue Friday, 2/12/10. It'll be available to sample and buy at the brewery Tasting Room.
At Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in downtown Rehoboth Beach, DE - our post-renovation re-opening has been postponed until noon on Friday, 2/12/10. That's the bad news. The good news, however, is that we'll be reopening with a brand new, expanded tap system! Twenty taps for you!!! Here is the somewhat epic list - come on down (it's a great excuse to check out the beach blanketed in snow and since everything has been shut down... I'd bet local hotels would roll out the red carpet for you!).
Plus - this weekend, downtown Rehoboth is celebrating Mardi Gras! Here is our Mardi Gras menu.
And - don't forget your lovey dovey... come into Dogfish on Valentine's Day and take advantage of our special offer to shower him/her with love and great beer!

When the developers of the original "Homefront" folded, THQ went to Crytek and asked the studio that brought open world shooters like "Far Cry" and "Crysis" to create a sequel to what was a traditionally linear game. After THQ collapsed in bankruptcy, Crytek purchased the rights to the game and are bringing "Homefront: The Revolution" to the PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2014. In an interview released Monday, Crytek designer Fasahat Salim explained why the studio kept the "Homefront" name and how it started as a linear game.
"[W]e had already started work on it when THQ were still around," Salim told Metro UK. "They came to us to work on the next 'Homefront,' and we spent about a year working on that with THQ. And then obviously the whole THQ thing happened, and at that point we didn't know what was going to happen. So we were very concerned we were going to lose all that work we did for that one year, which was a substantial amount"
Picking up the "Homefront" IP in the THQ bankruptcy auction allowed Crytek to keep the all of the work they had done on the game so far. Crytek isn't concerned about the mixed reviews that the original game received either due to its short and extremely directed campaign along with other flaws.
"[D]espite the bad reviews it was still a successful game," Salim said. "And it seemed to be a game that resonated with a lot of players, not only in the US but around the world – and we wanted to still respect that and we understand all of the issues that were there in the first one. We took a lot of the feedback that was out there, from the players, and we wanted to take all of the best things from 'Homefront' and push that as far as we could with our own tech and our own experience of making first person shooters"
More importantly, it allowed the developer to change the game from a "one-level-at-a-time first person shooter."
"[W]e decided to break out of that and go into a free-roaming, much larger Philadelphia. And that gave us a whole lot more potential to explore the idea and the gameplay related to guerilla warfare." Salim said of the change.
It also allowed Crytek to create a four-player co-op mode that is separate from the main campaign. There will be a multiplayer mode as well but the developer is not ready to reveal that yet.

After a few requests from our friends up north hunkering down for the storm, we've extended our last registration deadline for SXSW 2013 to 11:59pm (CST) on Monday, February 11th. That means you have more time to get your 2013 SXSW Registration squared away. For those of you not getting buried in snow, you also have until Monday night to save up to $155 off of the walkup-rate.
We hope all those in the northeast stay safe and warm this weekend. We look forward to seeing you all in March!

Does a sweet-tasting syrup that only contains 20 calories per teaspoon, tastes great and aids weight loss sound too good to be true? Perhaps, but that is precisely the claims being made about yacon syrup. Dr. Oz is also singing the praises of this natural alternative to sugar. So what is it and, more importantly, does it work?
Yacon syrup is derived from the yacon root which is indigenous to the Andes Mountains. While it is only recently gaining attention in the United States, it has been used for years in Bolivia, Peru and Brazil for its anti-diabetic qualities. Yacon root is mostly fructose-free, so it does not elevate blood glucose levels. It is also believed to help those with kidney disease and digestive disorders.
The majority of the yacon syrup cannot be digested, which is why it only has approximately a third of the caloric value of sugar, or about 133 calories per 100 grams. In other words, about 20 calories per teaspoon. This makes it an excellent low-calorie alternative to sugar. Yacon syrup is one of the best dietary sources of fructooligosaccharides (sugar molecules that are connected in a way that makes them unrecognizable by the digestive system) around. These fructooligosaccharides stimulate the taste buds but cannot be digested, which is why it is so low in actual calories. When these reach the large intestine they feed the "good" bacteria, and this is where the yacon does its magic.
The intestinal bacteria digest the fructooligosaccharides, which produces short-chain fatty acids found to have powerful anti-obesity effects. It also lowers ghrelin, the hormone that affects appetite.
Studies have shown that women using yacon syrup lost dramatically more body weight and inches in waist circumference than women using a placebo.
Another plus is that it actually tastes good. It has the consistency of molasses and has been described as tasting like a combination of molasses and honey.
A word of caution. Start out with small amounts until you find out how your system adapts. If taken in too large amounts it can cause digestive discomfort, gas, nausea or diarrhea. If you are already eating a lot of fiber you are less likely to have these side effects.
Bottom line is this: yacon syrup is natural and healthy and is certainly worth giving it a try. However, like anything else, do not expect it to be a magic pill. You will still have to eat a healthy diet and exercise if you want to lose excess weight.

Days Of Our Lives has been on a roll for awhile now and the addition of Kassie DePaiva is a real bonus. Kassie as Eve Donovan is a casting win since she is so likable, beautiful , professional and fun. Whether she is being bitchy or sweet she is amazing and she will get things jumping for Jennifer, JJ and sweet daughter Gabi. Eve made a lot of lives miserable in Salem years ago and will give her sister a run for her money. She will also try to come between Jen and Doc Daniel. Will she succeed do you think?
Let us not forget the drama going on with EJ, Abby and Sami and Kate. This has been highly entertaining and the pay off will be sensational. EJ's deceiving Sami about his affair with Abby will be the end of EJ methinks! Sami and Kate teaming up to take down the Dimera's is exciting and troubling at the same time.
Eric Martsoff's Emmy win for his portrayal of Brady Black was well deserved and his addiction is compelling as is his feelings for his father John Black. Theresa is taking advantage of the situation but we think she is in for some surprises in the near future.
Trouble is in store for Jordan and her brother Ben since their father showed up in Salem. It will be interesting to see how Rafe handles this situation.
The Hope and Aiden pairing looks good so far and is about time since we know no Bo for Hope in the future and they will make a charming couple. How hot do you think it will get between them after they play out the Bo and Hope closure.
Days Of Our Lives can be seen weekdays on NBC at 1 p.m.

Men's Basketball Downed By Xavier, 72-52
March 2, 2002
CINCINNATI (AP) - David West scored 22 points and Xavier wrapped up the best of its seven seasons in the Atlantic 10 with a 72-52 win over Massachusetts on Saturday.
The Musketeers (22-5, 14-2) also avenged their only conference loss in two seasons at the Cintas Center. The Minutemen beat Xavier at home last January.
Xavier, which won five of its last six, had 13 conference wins in the 1996-1997 season.
Xavier's Romain Sato had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. Lionel Chalmers added 13 points.
Eric Williams came off the bench to lead Massachusetts (12-15, 6-10) with a season-high 15 points. Williams, who averaged 5.3 points a game entering the game, scored 10 points in a 14-minute stretch in the first half, including a basket that cut Xavier's lead to 26-25 with 6:31 left.
Xavier was scoreless for almost five minutes spanning halftime, but the poor-shooting Minutemen couldn't take advantage. Then the Musketeers went on a 12-5 run that put them ahead 50-35 with 13:24 remaining.
Massachusetts shot 50 percent (13-for-26) in the first half and fell to 21 percent, or 6-of-28, shooting after halftime.
The Minutemen's Kitwana Rhymer, averaging 9 points per game, didn't take his
first shot until 11:25 was left in the game. Anthony Anderson, who was
averaging 10.2 points, shot 0-for-9 from the field.

Sony have just announced their 55- and 65-inch 4K-capable TVs, which will be made available as of April 21. The two new sets are the XBR-55X900A and XBR-65X900A and will sell for $4,999 and $6,999 respectively.
Sony's new 4K-capable LED TVs sport passive 3D, an edge-lit display, and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Sony had hoped to have reached a "more accessible price range" with their line of TVs, and it seems they have hit that point. Considering I paid just $1000 less for my Samsung 55-inch 1080p-capable TV, this is quite a heartbreak for me.

A fake IRS scam that is making its way around the nation has already scammed people out of more than $1 million. This scam starts with a phone call and the person on the other end claims they are an IRS agent and they demand that you pay unpaid taxes, according to Fox News on March 24.
The Detroit Press reports on March 23 that one of the things that makes this IRS scam even more frightening is that the person calling knows the last four digits of your social security number in some cases. This has led many to fall for the scam after believing that the voice on the other end of the phone is from the IRS.
The caller demands payment by credit card. They offer other options if you don't have a credit card like purchasing a Green Dot prepaid credit card or wiring money. The Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration reports that they are aware of the scam and that over $1 million has been paid to the scammers by unsuspecting victims.
This scam is the largest of this kind, reports the agency that provides the oversight of the IRS. J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reports:
"The increasing number of people receiving these unsolicited calls from individuals who fraudulently claim to represent the IRS is alarming."
The IRS sends you a letter, they don't call demanding money. They will also not demand that you use a credit card or other means for an immediate payment. The callers are using a very common name as their own. They also seem to target the elderly and people who may have last names that indicate that they may be from Pakistan or India. The caller may have a foreign accent.

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there are some shameless 43 Things copy-cat sites popping up internationally.
Check out Aimido, which is not bashful about adopting almost the exact same look and functionality as 43 Things. Wow, they even have management and advisors. To me, this says: "Here are the people who couldn't find anything better to do than rip off an existing site�?. They look so respectable too, except maybe Harald. I'd like to know exactly what kind of advice the advisors are giving?
"We think you should look for an existing site and then basically copy it exactly. Oh, and make sure it's in German.�?

Seventeen year old Ma'lik Richmond is suiting up for the upcoming football season in Steubenville, Ohio. Reports circulating on Monday show pictures of the football player practicing with his teammates before their season begins. It's a scene that must be playing out in nearly identical fashion on fields across the entire country, with one notable exception. Ma'lik Richmond is back on the team after serving a year in a juvenile detention center because he was convicted of raping an unconscious 16-year-old.
Given the high profile of the infamous "Steubenville rape case," most readers are aware of the chilling details. For those of you who are not, according to court testimony, this is what went down. On August 12, 2012, a young woman had way too much to drink at a high school party. After the woman vomited and passed out, she was relocated to the basement of a football player's house. Over the course of the evening, she was digitally penetrated by both Ma'lik Richmond and another student named Trent Mays (who's still in lockup).
What lifts this otherwise deplorably common event to a new level of disgusting is that the event was tweeted, instagrammed and facebooked hundreds of times throughout the night. There are minutes of footage and dozens of tweets wherein Mays and Richmond both not only admit their guilt but brag about it. According to reports, Mays actually texted the victim at one point, saying, "This is the most pointless thing I'm going to get in trouble for. I should be thanked for taking care of you."
Once the hammer dropped on their crimes, both Richmond and Mays attempted to put pressure on the victim to keep her parents from pressing charges. Not only that, but there are several indications that the school's faculty worked to keep authorities from properly investigating both this rape and a similar incident that according a few months earlier. To day, six Steubenville school officials have been indicted by a grand jury.
The case is especially terrible because it brought to the nation's attention the seriously lax policies we have in place when it comes to defending our nation's victims. In response to this young woman's rape, not only did officials work to keep her quiet, but several prominent news outlets - in the wake of a tidal wave of evidence - we're especially sympathetic to the criminals themselves. CNN reporter Poppy Harlow got lots of (deserved) flack when the guilty verdict came in and she lamented the perpetrator's lost future:
"It was incredibly emotional — incredibly difficult even for an outsider like me to watch what happened as these two young men that had such promising futures, star football players, very good students, literally watched as they believe their life fell apart."
As it turns out, Harlow's concern wasn't necessary. While Mays is still in a correctional facility for the next year, Richmond was released in January. For the next 20 years, he'll be forced to register as a sex offender every 180 days (but his lawyer is currently working to have that sentence expunged).
While reports indicate that Richmond was extremely apologetic after the fact (he was a sobbing mess, actually), that's still no excuse for his actions. Sorry. To this writer, a cover-up indicates a lack of guilt. Even more, the claims that "he's just a child" count for very little where a 17-year-old is concerned. By the age of seventeen, most normal, functional humans understand that sexually assaulting someone is a bad thing. It's a lesson most of us have little to no trouble learning.
Just take a second to imagine that the moment when you're at your most vulnerable and exposed, there are dozens of drunk idiots around cracking jokes and snapping pictures to share online. Imagine the worst moment of your life plastered across social media for everyone to see, not just in your hometown, but across the country. Now, add to that trauma the news that one of your rapists is not only back on the football team, but back on track to getting that promising future he once thought he'd lost.

We class "unison, octave, perfect fifth, perfect foruth, major and minor third, and major and minor sixth" intervals as "consonant" intervals. All others ("seconds, sevenths, ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths, and all augmented and diminished intervals - are dissonant"(Prout, p. 10). We have as subclasses of the consonant intervals the perfect and imperfect consonances.
Perfect consonances - these consist of the "unison, octave, perfect fourth, and perfect fifth"(Prout, p. 10). Any alteration of either note by an accidental (which will raise or lower it a chromatic semitone) causes the perfect consonance to become dissonant. However, we can change a major 3rd into a minor 6th or a minor 6th into a major third and preserve its consonance.
Imperfect consonances - These consist of "the major and minor thirds and major and minor sixths"(Prout, p. 10).

The Finance Ministry is considering the imposition of taxes on foreign borrowing of the private sector in a bid to put the brakes on the escalating increase of the country's corporate foreign debt.
"We hope that this taxation rule will help us to curb high foreign exchange borrowing by the private sector," Finance Ministry's interim head of fiscal agency, Bambang Brodjonegoro told reporters at his Jakarta office on Friday.
He said that the amount would depend on the debt to equity ratio of the borrowers.
He said that before introducing such a tax plan, the ministry would first require the private sector to report their foreign debt to the tax office.
"The tax imposition will be introduced later: First we will set rules requiring private companies to report their foreign exchange loans," he said after coordinating with top officials from Bank Indonesia (BI), the Deposit Insurance Institution (LPS) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in a regular meeting of the Financial Sector Stability Coordination Forum (FKSSK).
According to BI data, the private sector's dollar-based borrowing topped US$123.27 billion as of September this year, an "alarming" figure that has sparked concerns among local economists and policymakers.
Indonesia's debt-to-service (DSR) ratio, which measures the country's ability to pay its debt, currently stands at around 30 percent, around the same level recorded during the 1997-1998 financial crisis, when many private companies unable to pay their foreign debt went bust following the sharp drop in the value of
the rupiah.
Top government officials such as Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo and BI Governor Darmin Nasution have warned of the threat posed by soaring foreign borrowing to Indonesia's macroeconomic fundamentals, acknowledging that it needed to be addressed soon in the formulation of a policy.
"Our foreign debt may look safe if it is observed through aggregate figures but if you look at each [private company's foreign debts] one by one you will see that there are troubles here and there," Darmin said on Friday in Jakarta.
In line with Indonesia's robust economic growth, private companies in the country have seen a significant increase in profits. Consequently, to expand business companies look abroad for additional financing, given that Indonesian companies borrow at cheaper rates due to the investment grade status granted to the archipelago by global rating agencies.
Imposing tax on the private sector's offshore debts is a good start to address the spike in foreign borrowing, Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII) economist Juniman said.
The implementation of such a policy is imperative as failing to address the issue in the short-run will cause the shortage of dollar supply in the domestic currency market, consequently prompting instability to the rupiah, he said.
"At the moment, the liquidity pumped in to the Asian market is around five times higher than during the 1997-1998 financial crisis, meaning our currency will suffer economic risk that is five times more destructive if there is a sudden capital flight overseas," he said on Friday.

Solaris 10 free \*after\* 30 days
By John Clingan-Oracle on Feb 27, 2005
Over on OSNews there is a thread on a "Free 30-day Subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4". You can use Solaris 10 for 30 days free too. And another 30 days. And another. And so on. Solaris 10 is free. No need for a CentOS or WhiteBox equivalent. If you don't want support, you don't have to pay for it. If you want support, then pay for it (and it's very affordable).
The icing on the cake? When you change your mind on the need for support, you don't have to install new bits and deal with down time. It's as simple as writing (or not writing) a check. As your business needs change, your OS/distribution doesn't have to.

Applications-Deep Etch
About Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology
The two techniques utilized to achieve deep etches in the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are the Cryogenic and Bosch Process. Due to system and process development over the years there has been a lot of modifications in the methods though the fundamental aspects of each remain the same.
The importance of nanoscale etching has greatly increased and finds usage in nano imprint lithography, storage media etc. MEMS structures range in depth from around 10µm to 500µm with typical openings of more than 1µm. Nanoscale normally refers to structures less than 100nm etched up to several microns deep.
It is difficult to use the Bosch process for this type of structure due to the nature of the etching process, cryo etching lends itself to this feature size. We will also describe an alternative process.
In this technique, fluorine-based plasma chemistry is used for silicon etching, which is combined with a fluorocarbon plasma process to offer sidewall passivation and enhanced selectivity to masking materials. A complete etch process includes etching and deposition steps several times to attain deep, vertical etch profiles.
The technique depends on breaking down of the source gases in a high-density plasma region before it reaches the wafer, which ensures a small but controlled voltage drop from the plasma.
It is not possible to perform this technique in reactive ion etch systems (RIE), as these have the wrong balance of ions to free radical species. The balance is achievable in high-density plasma systems (HDP).
The most commonly used form of HDP uses inductive coupling to generate the high-density plasma region hence it is known as 'inductively coupled plasma' (ICP). The source gas used to provide the fluorine for silicon etching is Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). This molecule will easily break up in high-density plasma to release the free radical fluorine. The sidewall passivation and mask protection is provided by octofluorocyclobutane (c-C4F8), a cyclic fluorocarbon that disintegrated to produce CF2 and longer chain radicals in the high-density plasma.
These readily deposit as fluorocarbon polymer on the samples being etched. The etch rate, profile, and selectivity to the mask material are all controlled by adjusting the etch step efficiency, the deposition step efficiency or the ratio of times of both the steps.
The basics of a good Bosch etching system are detailed below. There are a number of significant features of the equipment used for Bosch processing that differ from normal ICP systems.
A typical system layout is shown Figure 1:
Figure 1. Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology's 300mm compatible ICP source
Certain observations regarding the Bosch Process for MEM's applications are listed below:
Figure 2 shows a result from a bulk silicon etch. This process was performed on a 150 mm wafer with patterned resist that etched at a rate of 17 µm/min having a near vertical profile. Etch uniformity across the wafer was ±3%.
Figure 2. 100µm deep etch at 17µm/min
Figure 3. 110 µm deep etch
Figure 3 shows a bulk etch process etched at a slower rate of 10µm per minute with vertical sidewalls.
The control of the gas switching ratios, pressure and power can enable high rate processing up to 10µm/min through wafer etches with smooth sidewalls as shown in figures 4a-c, even at 10:1 or greater aspect ratios.
Figure 4a. through wafer etch with smooth sidewalls
Figure 4b. sidewall roughness
Figure 4c. through wafer etch
This kind of etching occurs when there is a range of different size trenches on one wafer, which will reach differing depths in a given time. This is clearly seen in Figure 5. Previously, this could only be optimised by etching to a buried oxide layer or SOI layer but now by controlling the deposition cycle of the process, ARDE can either be reduced or eliminated as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 5. Trench depth variation with width.
Figure 6. Control of ARDE
While etching down to a buried oxide layer it is difficult to control the behaviour of the process once it hits the buried layer. In case the process is simply left on to achieve a timed over-etch period, this will cause 'notching', as shown in Figure7.
The method used to eliminate this is to actually pulse the platen power at a specified frequency. The charge build up at the SOI interface is reduces and thus the notching at the interface is also reduced as seen in Figure 8. The amount of notching versus duty cycle is shown in figure 9 for a range of trench sizes.
Figure 7. Notching at buried oxide interface
Figure 8. Control of Notching at SOI interface using RF Pulsing SOI notch vs Pulsed LF duty cycle
Figure 9. Graph showing SOI notch control vs. Duty Cycle
Typical Applications of the Bosch process are highlighted below:
In this method also, SF6 is used to provide fluorine radicals for silicon etching. The silicon is removed in the form of SiF4, which is volatile. The major difference is in the mechanism of sidewall passivation and mask protection. Instead of using a fluorocarbon polymer, this process relies on forming a blocking layer of oxide/fluoride (SiOxFy) on the sidewalls (around 10-20nm thick), along with cryogenic temperatures inhibiting attack on this layer by the fluorine radicals.
This can be done in the same equipment as the Bosch process. The various requirements for the equipment are listed below:
The basic deep processes for the cryo process has not changed over the years the etch rates depending on the aspect ratio are typically greater then 2µm/min a couple of examples below of trench etching carried out at >3µm/min see figure 10 and 11.
Figure 10
Figure 11
The main highlight of the cryo etch is the very smooth sidewalls which can't be achieved by the Bosch process as well as can render a positive profile, an example is shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12
A recent advance in cryo etching has been the elimination of the notch at the mask/Si interface which is a known issue with the process. This has been eliminated by the use of both hardware and the ramping of gas ratios during the primary stages of the process, the results are shown in figures 13 and 14.
Figure 13. Notch at mask/Si interface
Figure 14. elimination of notch
A typical application of the cryo deep process is highlighted below, the smooth sidewalls make it very applicable for moulds, optical devices etc.
Optical Waveguides
Cryo etching normally operates at a lower bias level (typically 15-20 V) when compared to the Bosch process (around 50 V). This results in minimal attack on the mask material giving higher selectivity. Nanoscale etches also need smooth sidewalls the downside of the traditional Bosch etch is that since etching and passivation steps are discrete, the sidewalls will develop scalloping or a bit of isotropic etching.
We will compare cryo etching here with a couple of other techniques used for nanoscale etching. Photonic crystals need controlled etching of the silicon with smooth sidewalls. Figure15 shows a typical mask with 200nm openings, Figure 16 shows the result of the etch under cryo conditions to a depth of greater than 1.6µm at an etch rate of 0.5µm/min
Figure 15. mask pre-etch
Figure 16. Photonic crystal post etch
Figures 17 and 18 show further applications of the cryo process to nanoscale etching, in Fig. 17 we have 50nm lines and spaces etched over 500nm deep with the mask still intact, in Figure 18 we have 300nm trenches etched 15µm deep into silicon which is an aspect ratio of 50:1.
Figure 17. 50nm features etched >500nm deep
Figure 18. 300nm features etched >15µm deep (AR 50:1)
Other process techniques that can be used for nanoscale etching are gas mixing, which uses SF6 mixed in the same step with C4F8, this is sometimes called Pseudo Bosch process and HBr based process chemistry. The etch rates can be controlled to some extent by changing the gas ratios but it is not as controllable as with the cryo process, an example is shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19. Mixed SF6/C4F8
HBr process chemistry is very selective to silicon dioxide, but etch rates are slower then the cryo and the gas chemistry is not as clean as the other nanoscale techniques leading to greater chamber cleans, an example of a HBR etch stopping on a 3nm SOI layer is shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20. HBr etch Courtesy of AMO Aachen
Both the Bosch and Cryo techniques discussed have evolved over the years both in terms of hardware and process. The Bosch process offers higher etch rates but at the cost of sidewall roughness. To limit this roughness the rates are usually in the range of 10-20µm, which is still higher then the cryo process.
To achieve the ultra high etch rates claimed for the Bosch process means very high flows of gas and requires very big turbomolecular pumps, which result in a higher costs. The Bosch process also does not offer very good positive profiles, which the cryo can. The cryo process has also found a growing market in the etching of Nanostructures as the Bosch process leaves scallops in the walls, which in most case is undesirable for the application.
Both the Bosch and Cryo processes will find applications in the advancing field of integrated sensors and actuators, but cryo has distinct advantages in the nanoscale arena. In the end, the user must decide which process will be most appropriate for their application.

Chocolate pie is one of those desserts that works for the Sunday family dinner and a Wednesday night pick me up. The smooth and creamy mousse filling doesn't really need the pie crust, as a spoon will take care of it nicely; however you must resist that temptation and make the pie as directed.
This recipe for chocolate mousse pie will become a family favorite. It's fairly easy to make and the results are always picture perfect.
Smooth and creamy chocolate mousse pie
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 (7 ounce) bar milk chocolate candy
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
- Heat marshmallows, chocolate candy, and milk in a saucepan over low heat until marshmallows and chocolate are melted, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to cool completely.
- Beat heavy cream in a large bowl until until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form sharp peaks. Gently fold cooled chocolate mixture in whipped cream until well mixed; pour into baked pie shell. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
Editor's Notes:
- If you prefer to use dark chocolate instead of the milk chocolate, go for it.
- For a mint version, use half dark chocolate and half Andes mints for the candy.
- If you prefer a sweeter chocolate verses really rich, add a little powdered sugar to the whipping cream for a moderate sweet adjustment
Making a chocolate mousse pie is not difficult, but it is a treat your friends and family will love. Try different types of chocolates for a variety flavors. This will become a family favorite, especially when a friend or family member needs a little chocolate to make a bad day better.

Many are captivated with tombs and mummies, maybe it's due to the popular movies of Indiana Jones. Here's a great place to see the real thing in person. Surprisingly moderate sized Harvard Semitic Museum has a world-class collection of remarkable objects from the ancient Near East. The museum is devoted to the history of cultures related to Semitic languages.
It was founded in 1889 and moved to its present Cambridge location in 1903. Harvard Semitic Museum is at 8 Divinity Street on the Harvard University campus. It is across the street from Harvard Museum of Natural History and north of Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
The museum's early achievements were the first scientific excavations in Samaria in 1907-1912, with additional digging at Nuzi and Tell el-Khaleifeh in Sinai. Its artifacts are the result of museum-sponsored excavations in Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Tunisia.
The museum's 40,000 artifacts include Egyptian mummy sarcophagi, pottery, cuneiform tablets, sculpture, coins, and cylinder seals. The tablets contain the earliest forms of writing. There is a full-scale replica of ancient Iron Age Israelite home. Life-sized casts of famous Mesopotamian monuments of the Black obelisk of Shalmaneser III, the Stele of Esarhaddon, and the Laws of Hammurabi.
Current museum exhibitions are the following:
The Houses of Ancient Israel
This provides a view of life in an ancient Near Eastern agricultural society.
Nuzi and the Hurrians,
The exhibit of 100 objects is a view into the forgotten past with a range of objects from pottery to weapons.
Egypt: Magic and the Afterlife
The collection including coffins and amulets give the Egyptian view of life after death.
The museum collection of over 1300 objects from Cyprus, dating from 2300 BCE to 700 CE.
Monuments from Mesopotamia
The collection of casts offers a unique opportunity to view works of art from the ancient world in one exhibit.
Semitic languages originated in the Near East currently spoken by over 470 million people across Asia and North Africa. They include Arabic, Amharic, Hebrew, Tigrinya and Aramaic. It appears the earliest written form was a script derived from Sumerian cuneiform of Mesopotamia the middle of the third millennium BC.
Museum Hours
Monday – Friday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Sunday 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Museum Address
6 Divinity Avenue
Cambridge, MA.
Cambridge is a city of 105,162 population, north of Boston across the Charles River. It was named in honor of England's University of Cambridge with its own well known Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Welcome to my wonderful world of pain and agony
Let me introduce myself my name is tragedy
The kind that sneaks into your bedroom late at night
The kind that makes an airplane crash while it? in flight
I? the type of stress that?l make your heart skip a beat
The type that left you hungry and homeless on the street
The kind that makes you spin like CD ROM
I took the life from your body ?ill your spirit is gone
I? the type that turns your fantasies to bad dreams
I? the type to turn ideas into deadly schemes
I? the kind that caused you pain until you blacked out
I? the last thing you saw before you passed out
Bang, bang
Tell me what you need
Tell me how you feel when I take away your dreams
Bang, bang
What you looking for
I? that one standing behind closed doors
Bang, bang
I? that monster that hides under your bed
I? the type that causes voices inside of your head
I? the kind of storm that left your crew seasick
I? the kind that made your girlfriend bulimic
I? the type that makes you cross enemy lines
The type to bring weapons to the kids of Israel and Palestine
The type to bring your Ouija board to life
The kind of panic that happens during a bank heist
I? the type of tragedy that you can? hide from
I? the type of pain and torture you could die from
The kind of stranger that peaks over your fence
Last thing you saw before I took your innocence
[Chorus (2X)]

Before "Sleepy Hollow" aired last fall Nicole Beharie was not a well-known actress. She has been gaining popularity while playing Detective Abigail Mills (Abby) in the hit FOX drama. According to a Jan. 20 report from TMZ, Nicole Beharie has stiffed a stylist by not paying the $5,000 bill. The stylist is claiming that Beharie hired her to dress her for the Television Critics Association event and has not paid up.
Nicole Beharie has amazing chemistry with Tom Mison on "Sleepy Hollow." Fans immediately fell in love with her character Abigail Mills and as the season progresses, it is shown just how strong she really is. There is not much known about how Beharie is outside of her character and the news of her snubbing the stylist is shocking to some fans. The stylist claims that Beharie agreed to pay $5,000 for everything and she loved the dress. Now it is coming out that $2,000 was paid and the dress did not please Beharie. A lawyer has been retained on behalf of the stylist.
"Sleepy Hollow" will end Season 1 with a two-hour season finale. The finale airs tonight on Fox at 7 p.m. CST, one hour earlier than it normally begins. It was renewed for a second season and will return in fall 2014.

Content here to stay updated on the latest from Foster Friess
Miss the Debate? Here's a Twitter Recap
Obama says 'the state, it is me'; Romney basically says, 'the next president, is I'
Here's a summary of last night's foreign policy debate, using the best tweets I could find:
Throughout, President Obama kept reiterating his job title:
Obama keeps saying he's the president and commander in chief. We know, Barack, we know. #Debate
· "Here's one thing I've learned as commander in chief: You've got to be clear." Meaning what? #201
This would have been a great opening for Gov. Romney to jump all over the president on the lack of a clear response on Libya, but the governor chose not to …
Romney totally shied away from taking on question about misleading on Libya. Will he come back to it, or is that the end of it tonight?
Nope, that was the end of it.
Yet, quickly a consensus was emerging that Romney sounded intelligent, serious, and measured. The chatter was that all Mitt had to do—since he already trounces Obama on economic matters—was show that he could sound like an American president while discussing foreign policy. Did it even matter what words came out of his mouth, as long as his tone was commanding yet calm?
Romney has, so far, passed the credibility test. Seems serious, competent, and knowledgeable.
Romney sounding very competent and knowledgeable, regardless of debate points.
Perhaps the president could see the election slipping away from him before his very eyes …
When Obama watches Romney, he looks like he's at Subway watching someone make his sandwich.
Romney is acting presidential right now. He's laying out specifics/etc. #Debate
Romney is being careful here…making sure he demonstrates knowledge and seriousness. #lynndebate
#LynnDebate. Interesting tactic from Romney. Not trying to beat Obama or deride him – but trying to sound Presidential@BBCNewsUS
RT: @JonahNRO Man, I'd love some hammer-and-tongs attacks on Obama's record. Just don't think it's smart politically.
Kathryn Jean Lopez @kathrynlopez
barack obama just does not sound like president#orismybiasshowing?
And Romney did have some strong lines:
Romney: I'm certainly not going to tell Putin I'll give him more flexibility after the election. I'll have backbone after election
When Romney said that, Obama just stared at him, unable to say anything and likely embarrassed. You could almost see a look in his eyes that said, "yup, I screwed that one up."
Romney: 'you can't have 23 million people struggling to get a job' and project strength worldwide #debate
"Our purpose is to make the world more peaceful" – Romney#PeaceThroughStrength #LynnDebate
Romney: "For us to promote those principles of peace requires us to be strong."
Kathryn Jean Lopez @kathrynlopez
mitt romney, pro-peace … rocks the political spectrum
Romney: We want a peaceful planet.
It was comical how both candidates tried to direct the foreign policy debate back to their economic talking points. And, at least according to some of the folks watching on CNN, that's what the people wanted …
Notably, the dials on CNN go waaaay up when they're not talking about foreign policy. #debates
Obama continued his verbal castigation of President George W. Bush, even though he's continued many of his policies …
Nicholas T Ryan @NicholasTRyan
Hard to imagine a President doing name calling of his predecessor in a presidential debate. Classless and immature.
Obama is trying to debate George W. Bush. #predictable#toughsell
Romney countered, calling out Obama for being silent when …
"When the students took to the street…. for the president to be silent was an enormous mistake." Romney on Iran
And then, amid the discussion of terror and a nuclear Iran, Obama said we just need more … teachers …
Obama has reformed education? Seriously? HE WANTS TO HIRE TEACHERS!!!!
Small businesses and small classes–the keys to American global leadership!
Though as a friend pointed out, discussion of teachers has some foreign policy connections, in so far as bloated government unions have led to ruined economics abroad …
Joe Luppino-Esposito @avgjoele
And now we're into teachers unions and road to Greece. Sorta brings it back?
Moderator Bob Schieffer tried to return the conversation to foreign policy …
Schieffer about to start talking about small business in Syria.#debates
Romney countered Obama, saying his debt-laden policies will make America worse off and less secure.
Obamacare will cost $2 trillion over 10 years, nearly 3 times the financial cost of Iraq war.
Romney used the economic discussion to tout his experience balancing budgets, as a CEO, as the Salt Lake Olympics chief, and as governor:
I like this laundry list by Romney on how he has balanced budgets. Did it in the 2nd debate too. #lynndebate
Did Obama just admit national debt is a national security risk? If so, who is putting America in danger? #Debate
Then Obama said, well, we can make everything all right, by "thinking about space." That's a real plan!
Daniel McCarthy @ToryAnarchist
Was Obama going for the Newt-moonbase vote?
Next, the president—responding to Romney's contention that the Navy has the fewest ships its had since 1917—explained to all of us that a submarine is a boat that goes underwater.
Katherine Mangu-Ward @kmanguward
Ships that go underwater! Do tell, Obama!
"We have these things called aircraft carriers. This is not Battleship. I'm kind of a $%#."
Obama then tried to sound tough on Iran:
Katherine Mangu-Ward @kmanguward
RT @TPCarney "As long as I am president of the U.S., Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," because they can't build one in 3 months
But as Reason magazine's Jesse Walker pointed out, there is some irony in …
Obama bragging about his ability to cripple an economy.
Retweeted by reason
Ann Coulter suggested that there might be a better way to curb Iran than mere sanctions:
Let's destroy Iran by giving them ObamaCare.
Yet his tough talk on Iran was incongruous. As Rick Santorum noted,
TeamSantorumVA @TeamSantorumVA
RT @ricksantorum: Pres opposed Iran sanctions when in the senate and opposed tough sanctions congress tried to pass.
Obama as political brawler — a very rarely seen side of him — is out in full force tonight. #lynndebate
When was that travel? Not while he was president. #debates
Obama got especially angry when Romney criticized his worldwide apology tour during which he bowed to despots, said America is rather flawed, gave the Queen of England some DVDs of his own speeches, and skipped Israel. The president fired back with a bizarre, but anger-filled, answer about how he went to Israel as a candidate and visited a Holocaust museum.
RT @marcambinder: Did POTUS just play the Holocaust card? Wow. #debate2012
The dislike between these two men is striking. Obama's glare at Romney about trips. Wow. Ice cold. This is war for this pair.
Speaking of apology tours:
RT @robertbluey: Obama's most recent apology happened one month ago. It was broadcast on Pakistani television:http://herit.ag/OXJBJ5
Romney remained commanding, though:
I'm predicting it now – line of the night: "We don't dictate to other nations, we free other nations from dictators"
Obama even criticized Romney for having a fundraiser with American donors in Israel…this coming from the man who was reveling in luxury at a lavish fundraiser after hearing of the murder of our ambassador to Libya. And from the candidate whose website accepts illegal donations from foreigners …
Obama hitting Romney over fundraising? REALLY?!!
Kathryn Jean Lopez @kathrynlopez
the president of the united states is picking on romney's foreign trip, seriously? #howmanyholocaustmuseumsdidyougoto?
As the Daily Caller's Matthew Boyle noted,
Why can't Obama lay out his specific plans? Romney has specifics, Obama has attacks on Romney #Debate
Responding to Romney, Obama said he is a big fan of Israel …
I wonder what Jeremiah Wright thinks about Israel and Jews?
At this point, my former boss at the Weekly Standard said
The debate is vastly more entertaining if you follow it in your Twitter feed while watching baseball on TV.
Bob Schieffer then asked whether America should "divorce" itself from Pakistan due to its often questionable reliability as an ally in the war on terror. An esteemed professor I know suggested this:
You never divorce a country (or woman) with nuclear weapons.
Romney: "First of all, it's not gov't that makes business successful. It's not government investments that make gov't grow." #debates
So let me get this straight: Seals kill Bin Laden, Obama did that. You built a business, he did that too. But Benghazi? "Wasn't me."
One of the lines that got the biggest response: When Obama said "this nation, me" stood by the Tunisians (not the Iranians, of course). It might be a cheap shot, but serioiusly that's the exact same thing extravagant, pompous French King Louis XVI said about himself: 'L'etat, c'est moi.' The state, it's me."
Nicholas T Ryan @NicholasTRyan
"This nation…ME…" interesting
Katherine Mangu-Ward @kmanguward
L'etat, c'est moi!
That's a wrap.

Matilda Violence Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"I am glad to see," she said, "that there are no slimy creatures in my drinking-water this time. If there had been, then something exceptionally unpleasant would have happened to every single member of this class. And that includes you, Miss Honey." (20.15)
When people play pranks on her, the Trunchbull becomes even more determined to be violent and evil. She just takes them as excuses that let her punish other people. She'd be mean anyway, but when someone plays a prank, that makes it even easier for her to unleash her violent side and lash out.

Two Brunswick officers were honored last week during the annual Community Champions awards ceremony sponsored by local chapters of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Officer Joe Ceccacci was awarded the DEUCE award for service above and beyond the call of duty to enforce impaired and drunken driving laws.
The award stands for Doing the Extraordinary, Unselfishly, Continually Everyday. Ceccacci was among 18 officers from area police departments to be nominated for the award.
Officer Scott Smith was awarded the Top Cop award for the department for the third year in a row for his enforcement of operating a vehicle while impaired laws in Brunswick.
Police Lt. Brian Ohlin said Ceccacci's training is invaluable in building a case against drivers under the influence of prescription drugs or other drugs.
"The problem of drug-impaired drivers is becoming more of an issue," he said. "Even roadside breath tests that detect for reason of impairment do not allow us to identify for other drugs."
Ceccacci serves as a member of the Medina County OVI Task Force and as a certified drug recognition expert in Ohio.
Drug recognition experts can conduct interviews with people suspected of driving while under the influence of drugs and provide documentation to support the arrest in court, along with toxicology reports that may also be included, Ohlin said.
"Joe is very dedicated and passionate in that area, and it's one of the primary reasons we nominated him to receive this award," he said.

This Product Does Exactly What I Hoped It Would DoMy hair is curly with body but gets really puffy and fuzzy - the climate is dry here. I have a lot of density and body but the curls have a hard time holding together when it is not humid.
This product is great. It does exactly what I wanted it to. It makes delicate loose curls that solidly and hold together. I tried two other Devines products - MOMO anti frizz and MOMO curl enhancing serum. This one is the best. Less successful - more wild card results with the other two.

Fashion Q & A
we like double-breastedDear AskMen.com,
Are double-breasted suits in or out?
Office manager
Hi Office Man,
You're not alone with this dilemma, as this question is probably one of the most popular ones I receive. Double-breasted suits will always remain in style. They have obviously varied in popularity throughout the years, but in general, sporting a double-breasted jacket will give you an elegant and classic look.
A double-breasted jacket also gives you a more mature and formal appearance. That's why most stylists believe that double-breasted suits are designed for men, not boys. They are also more flattering on slimmer men rather than portly ones.
everyone likes leatherDear Fashion Correspondent,
What should I use to restore my old black leather jacket? It's very dry and it's starting to crack in many places.
San Francisco
Hello Georgy,
Pick up a leather treatment at any hardware store or shoemaker. Many brands and types of products are specifically designed to protect and restore your leather goods. Lexol is a very popular product, which will restore and protect your most cherished leather goods.
Mink and oil beeswax combinations are usually found in paste form and are great for very old leather articles. Don't be shy; ask the store clerk for advice on how to maintain your precious leather.
If you have any more questions on fashion and style, just e-mail us here.
Have a great day and keep on stylin'!
