GLENWOOD SPRINGS - The Vail Christian faithful bellowed the news eloquently.
"On to state."
"On to state."
Saints boys basketball is doing just that after a 44-34 win over Deer Trail at regionals Saturday in Glenwood Springs. Vail Christian is going to the 1A state basketball tournament for the first time in school history. The draw comes out on chsaa.org today and the Saints (18-4) are headed to 1stBank Center in Broomfield Thursday.
"Gosh, I said a long time ago that we had to break that tradition on not getting through districts and now we're going to state," senior Zach Linder said.
"I'm kind of speechless. We're going to state, man," Vail Christian coach Sheldon Kuhns said.
"I remember Broomfield," Gunnar Wilson joked.
Yo, Gunnar, the Broomfield game in the state semifinals for Battle Mountain soccer was actually in Parker, but we get the point.
The Saints were clearly a little jumpy on offense early, missing good looks and easy lay-ins. But, as has been the theme this year, the defense was stellar. While Vail Christian has been trying to shore up the defense, well, for the last few years, the turning point that set the stage for Saturday came in practice on Jan. 27 after a win at Soroco.
That was the "33 practice," when the Saints just ran, according to Kuhns. It refocused the team, and, after a Feb. 1 loss to Paonia, Vail Christian ditched the full-court press and just focused on guarding opponents.
That all worked perfectly against Deer Trail.
"We haven't been putting the bubble on recently. It's sort of a given," Wilson said. "We have to play defense to win in the playoffs."
Wilson, Linder and Kevin Boselli among others crushed the boards. The Eagles didn't have second chances on offense. The Saints were also tenacious in their half-court defense. In the second half, Nigel Johnson and Wilson took turns covering Deer Trail's Preston Turecek, who was averaging 19 points per game.
And Austin Ellsworth took two charges as well as two other key fouls late.
"Not much different from football," said Ellsworth, who lines up under center during the fall. "No pads, though."
Leading 18-11 at the half, Robby Bowles canned a 3 and Wilson followed with a layup on a nice pass from Linder for a 24-13 lead. Deer Trail stayed close with two of three banked treys in the second half coming in the third quarter.
The Eagles closed to 27-26 with 7:48 left in the game. A minute later, Wilson took an inbounds pass and went straight up for the layup and a 29-26 lead. Linder struck with his patented baseline jumper and Bowles hit from 13 feet to up the margin to 33-26.
Meanwhile, Ellsworth taking fouls was big because the Saints were on the wrong end of an 8-3 margin in team fouls early in the fourth. By the time Ellsworth went to the line, the Saints were in the bonus and he sank both ends of a 1-and-1. This was the start of a terrific trend. Vail Christian was a sparkling 9-for-10 from the stripe in the fourth quarter.
"Big time," Kuhns said.
And that pleased the Saints fans who were out in force. Saturday's game may have been at a neutral site in Glenwood, but Vail Christian fans, clad in newly-minted district championship T-shirts swamped those in Deer Trail red.
"It was awesome," Ellsworth said. "That was the best fan turnout we've had."
Vail Christian now needs the answer to two questions. No. 1 is, "What seed?" All but two of the top seeds in each regional around the state won Saturday. The only upsets were Norwood downing Elbert earlier in the day at Glenwood and Holly of Le Veta in Pueblo.
Logic would dictate that the Saints have to be at least No. 7 because they beat Norwood last weekend at the district tournament. Kuhns said he was thinking Nos. 6 or 7.
The other issue is cranking up the Vail Christian offense for state, which falls under the category of "irony can be very ironic."
"Who would have ever thought? Exactly," Kuhns said. "What we're looking for is to get the old Vail Christian team of 70 points (on offense) with we're only going to give you 25 or 30 points (on defense)."

Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake
Miz Helen's Kitchen
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking pans and dust with cocoa powder instead of flour.
Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
"Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Frosting
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
2/3 cup Hershery's Cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt butter, stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla.
Yields about 2 cups frosting.
Easy Chocolate Ganache Topping
If you want to cover the cake with a quick and easy ganache instead of frosting, simply melt a bag of chocolate chips in the microwave (on high, one minute at a time) for a few minutes, then add a few tablespoons of unsalted butter (must be real butter) and stir until completely melted and incorporated. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of the cake or mini cakes and use the bottom-side of a large spoon to spread the chocolate (starting from the middle and working in a circular motion) until the chocolate begins to drip down the sides. Then use a zester or grater and a bar of chocolate to sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings.

Spielberg, Lucas Predict Film Industry Will Implode
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas predict that the film industry will implode over the next few years.
Two of the most successful filmmakers of all time were speaking at the University of Southern California for the official opening of Interactive Media Building when they made the forecasts about the future of cinema.
As recorded on CNBC, Spielberg said, "Eventually there's going to be a price variance. You're going to have to pay $25 to see the next Iron Man. And you're probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln. I mean, there's going to be…that's going to be in our future as well."
As Lucas put it, "Everything else is going to look more like cable television on TIVO."
A story posted on CNBC.com included more remarks from the two filmmakers.
"There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm again," Spielberg said.
Lucas predicted that movie going would become more of a high-end entertainment experience.
"You're going to end up with fewer theaters, bigger theaters with a lot of nice things," Lucas said. "Going to the movies will cost 50 bucks or 100 or 150 bucks—like what Broadway costs today, or a football game."

Our primary mission is to allow data vendors to increase revenue by selling data in powerful new ways. So far, we have done this by enabling vendors to easily expose their data to application developers through on-demand APIs. However, an equally important scenario is selling data to business end-users, and we are proud to announce a new product addition that allows data vendors to do just that with the usual WebServius ease and flexibility: the Data Download Tool.
A data buyer can now come to a WebServius-powered page (which can be white-labeled), and select any relevant criteria (e.g. "download list of all dentists in San Jose with offices larger than 700 sq.ft.", or "download list of dividends over $2 issued by US companies in the media vertical between 1997 and 1999"). The tool will display the number of matching records and their price, and will allow the data buyer to instantly pay for the data and download it in a format compatible with Microsoft Excel. This feature is an extension of our Amazon SimpleDB integration, and it is therefore quick and easy to enable both API access and Bulk Download access for the same dataset.
The tool is currently in beta and significant usability and UI improvements are coming soon to make the functionality even more flexible and easy to use.

5 injured in Bee Ridge Road accident
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 10:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 10:29 a.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - Five people, including three children, were injured in a car accident near Interstate 75 Tuesday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Shortly before 8 a.m. a 2012 Honda Civic, driven by 47-year-old Patty Jo Denney, was traveling west on Bee Ridge Road approaching the traffic light for the ramp to I-75, says FHP. The light was a steady yellow signal as the Honda turned left toward the interstate entrance, in front of approaching traffic.
The front of the Honda collided with an oncoming 2003 Lexus IS 300.
Denney was taken to Blake Medical Center in Bradenton, considered in serious condition, and the two passengers in the Honda, 13 and 17, were taken to Doctors Hospital with minor injuries. The driver, 32-year-old Quentin MacDonald, and a 5-year-old passenger in the Lexus were also taken to Doctors Hospital with minor injuries.
FHP said charges are pending in the case.

This is a translation of a French proverb: "un Tiens vaut mieux que deux Tu l'auras". It means that what you already have is better than what you may get—even if you may get more—because you already have it.
Strangely, it also is one of the problems with GNU/Linux systems.
The great dangers of the unknown
What you may get with a GNU/Linux system
GNU/Linux systems (xBSD too, but it's less known) are usually perceived as having:
- better stability,
- better security,
- more customization,
- less software costs,
- razor edge experimental stuff,
- whatever you can come up with.
What do you have to lose?
Based on the problems users had with installing/migrating/tinkering with/customizing systems such as Windows 9x/NT, here is a list:
- trashed computer,
- hours spent reinstalling a stubbornly non-booting system,
- lost data,
- the need to go back to the previous system anyway,
- no way to do what one used to do "before" any more,
- the need to learn a new system,
- no one can help you if you have a problem: your technically-inclined grandson or neighbour haven't even heard of "Linux".
For you experienced Bash or Xfree gurus, these seem unfounded and a bit silly... Yet, it's one of the biggest problems one may face when confronted with installing a free system...
In my previous post, I mentioned my friend's attempt of installing Ubuntu on his laptop. Why did he even try?
- He's not afraid of taking a risk (he's in the army, as a voluntary soldier in the field).
- He has an educated tech to call for help (me).
- He took some precautions and read the manual before going forward (meaning he backed up his data on an external drive).
- He created a dual-boot system.
- He really wanted to try the 3D experience provided by Xgl/Compiz.
Now, who do you know would go forward with a jump into the unknown if they didn't qualify for all those reasons?
One way to convince people to try FOSS is to prove to them that if done correctly, it would be safe, they'd get a secure, fast and cool looking system, they won't be left dry in case of problems, it would upgrade itself gracefully, and never lose their data—meaning that they'd still be able to open their files.
Is it a lie? No.
Are those arguments known by the public?
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
... is the English expression. ;-)
In general, I seriously advise against installing dual-boot systems as a way to learn Linux. They are generally much more fragile than plain installations. I think it's a pretty harsh thing to expect someone to start out that way. That's more like something you install for someone else so they can try it out (and even then, it's rarely worth it).
Instead, let them start with a Live CD. I think that's really the kicker -- there's basically no way Knoppix or other Live Linux CDs can wreck your system (until you get ready to install to the hard drive).
Or better yet, put together a $500 computer from parts and install Linux on that (but that really depends on your budget).
Why dual-boot instead of LiveCD?
I didn't install my friend's system: he did it by himself. On top of that, he has a laptop with a single hard drive - meaning he couldn't easily swap OSes independantly. Then, he wanted Xgl - and Kororaa has gotten hard to get. Then, he wanted to be able to experiment yet keep working - so he needed both. And last, he didn't want to spend cash on setting up a new computer just to give a thorough test run to a Linux OS.
In his case, dual boot was a very sensible options.
- LiveCDs are nice to check a system and everyday use of a very close to complete GNU/Linux, but they don't allow you to tinker with your system.
- I don't agree with you that dual boot systems are less stable: if you install WinXP first on NTFS partitions and don't use FAT with Linux, systems are kept entirely separate. I do so on a few systems, and I never had any problem with dual boot - except when installing WinXP last, as it doesn't play well: it overwrites the MBR. Other than that, nothing.
Thanks for the translation, but you misquoted: 'a bird IN the hand is worth two in the bush'. Moreover, it doesn't exactly fit: 'a bird in the hand is worth MORE THAN two in the bush' would be more appropriate.
I'm being picky ;p
"Thanks for the translation,
"Thanks for the translation, but you misquoted: 'a bird IN the hand is worth two in the bush'. Moreover, it doesn't exactly fit: 'a bird in the hand is worth MORE THAN two in the bush' would be more appropriate."
Yep. Typo. Fixed now. I often leave out when typing quickly. ;-)
I just thought it was odd to try to literally translate a French expression into English, when there is already an English version which is pretty darned close, if not identical.
And as for dual-boot systems, I'm just speaking from experience. I have no doubt that it can be done by an experienced user, but I think it's much trickier to do as a first system. Of course, to be fair, I haven't tried it since 2000, and back then there were multiple ways to do it and no GUI that I know of to set it up for you.
of dual-boots and inherent problems
While my grasp on the English language is - in my humble opinion - nothing to sneeze at, there are some expressions I don't know yet. I do agree that the one you provided is a very close equivalent - and that I wasn't aware of it - both in form and meaning, yet the small difference in meaning amounts to the difference between an OR and an XOR...
Dual boot has gotten a bit more stable with the advent of WinNT5: if not for WinXP's and Vista's tendency to overwrite the MBR, data corruption due to dual boot is something that has been reduced drastically. Dual boot hazards were caused by both Win9x's inability to handle disk addresses in 32-bit due to real-mode DOS, which could end up trashing a disk's master boot record, and limitations in old lilo versions needing the Linux boot partition located in the first 1024 sectors of a disk, but both have been more or less solved:
- lilo can use boot partitions past the 1024th sector,
- win9x is little used any more.
Of course, a sweet dual boot is with Win2000: it keeps itself well inside its partition and it doesn't overwrite the MBR on a new install.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.

Voices: Manisha Thakor, On Working from Home
Manisha Thakor runs MoneyZen Wealth Management in Santa Fe, N.M.
I've found that many people in the financial-service field are still under the misconception that working from a home office is less desirable than a traditional office. They associate it with working from a garage, and assume it's something only an adviser who couldn't make it into a large firm would do. I can say from personal experience that this is a dated bias—I work from my stunning home office, which is exactly where I want to be. And thanks to technology I can conduct business in a paperless manner, and between my MacAir, my iPad, and my iPhone, I can take my office with me anywhere I go.
Before launching my independent firm, I did extensive research on the options available for outsourced middle- and back-office support. I learned there is a growing community of entities designed to fulfill those functions. I found the perfect fit for me: an organization based in St. Louis that provides all the services I need, and better yet, they work with a community of independent RIAs who share the same investing philosophy that I do.
Though it might seem odd to be so far from your support staff, I've found it feels no different than when I was working in a high-rise building—I would rarely see my support staff face-to-face, and would most often talk with them on the phone. And because I'm part of this community, I can access the shared purchasing power of our combined pool; I can build out laddered portfolios for my clients, which I certainly wouldn't be able to do if I were working on my own.
We all know the importance of water-cooler talk. So, the service provider sends out bi-weekly communications and hosts bi-monthly conferences calls. We also have LinkedIn groups and a big annual conference. I feel even more connected to this group than I did to some of my prior colleagues when I worked in the same building.
I also have a team of three bright, talented women working with me on a virtual basis. They are all women who chose to leave the industry when they became mothers. Between the three of them they have eight kids under the age of eight.
I feel like our model creates a winning situation for everyone: this is a group of women whose talents should be used, and by working from home they're able to manage their own time to take care of business, and have time for their children. Furthermore, we've been so much more productive than any team I've worked with in a corporate environment because when we come together it is specifically to work.
I think it's difficult for advisers caught in the daily grind to free their minds enough to consider working from home. But I hope that more advisers will realize that this option is not a fall back—it's an efficient business model that enables a healthy work-life balance, and one I think we're going to start seeing a lot more of.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team will be on the road once again on Wednesday evening for a 5:30 p.m. match against the No. 67 TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth.
The Islanders are coming off of two matches against tough opponents in New Mexico, and will continue the long start away from home to begin the 2013 season. The first home match for the men's team will not come until Feb. 14 against nationally ranked Nevada at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
TCU and Texas A&M – Corpus Christi have split the last four match by a 2-2 tally, with the Horned Frogs taking the match last year, while the Islanders won two seasons ago when Islander legend Laurent Montoisy came back from 0-3 in the third to clinch the deciding match.
The Horned Frogs recently suffered a close loss to No. 20 Michigan, having had a chance to serve for the match before falling 4-3 against the Wolverines.
The teams will square off at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on the TCU campus.

Five players who could become Raiders on Thursday with the No. 5 pick in the draft, assuming the Raiders don't trade down:
LB Khalil Mack, Buffalo (6-3, 251) Has sideline-to-sideline capability and explosive ability as an edge rusher with the ability and versatility to displace either strongside linebacker Sio Moore or veteran weakside starter Kevin Burnett.
WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson (6-1, 211) Getting Watkins (below) and his playmaking ability aboard would go a long way toward explaining why the Raiders never got serious about adding DeSean Jackson in free agency. Could have the immediate impact A.J. Green had in Cincinnati.
OT Taylor Lewan, Michigan (6-7, 309) Generally regarded as the third best tackle behind Auburn's Greg Robinson and Texas A&M's Jake Matthews, the word is the Raiders think he might be the best of the three. Could also be an option if the Raiders trade back a few spots to land an additional pick.
DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina (6-6, 266) Regarded by some as the most talented 4-3 end since Bruce Smith, Clowney has a reputation for occasionally going too fast in his car and not fast enough on the field. Still the favorite to go No. 1, he'd be hard to resist if he fell to No. 5.
QB Blake Bortles, Central Florida (6-5, 232) Conservative by nature, general manager Reggie McKenzie is more likely to go with the more prototypical passer than to gamble on someone like Johnny Manziel if he wants a quarterback-in-waiting behind Matt Schaub. Fresno State's Derek Carr is an option if the Raiders trade back.

Extended cold streak to bring lows in 30s and 40s
Published: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 2:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 2:48 p.m.
The first extended cold streak of the winter arrives in Southwest Florida on Wednesday as a series of fronts drive overnight lows into the 30s and 40s through the weekend.
Three cold fronts are moving through the area this week, culminating Thursday night with low temperatures in the 30s throughout the region.
"We just happened to get them lined up one after another this week," said National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Dougherty.
Strong winds will make it feel even cooler, but the National Weather Service currently is not forecasting temperatures to drop below freezing locally.
The high temperature is expected to hover in the high 50s and low 60s, remaining below 70 through Monday, according to current forecasts.
The average high temperature at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport this time of year is 71 degrees, and the average low is 52.
January actually has been slightly warmer than average so far this year despite a burst of cold last week. The average temperature of 62.8 degrees — which factors in daily highs and lows — is 1.8 degrees above normal.
Through Tuesday, nine of 13 days had a high temperature above average. November and December also saw above average temperatures.

1 <Day 6. Wednesday, 19th January 2000
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Rampton, I wonder if I could ask you for a
3bit of help on really a logistical problem? Some of the
4source material that the experts rely on is fairly
5inaccessible. I was wondering if your team could provide
6me with copies of, I think, just three documents, report
7No. 51, that report from the Einsatzgruppen A, you know
8the one I mean, giving the partisans and the Jews killed?
9 MR RAMPTON: Is that the Jaeger report?
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. And also a document which I do not
11think actually I have ever seen, but Muller's's document
12of August 1941.
13 MR RAMPTON: Yes, the Muller order.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If I had those separately, it would make life
15much easier.
16 MR RAMPTON: Certainly, my Lord. We have copies of originals
17of all of those.
18 MR IRVING: Muller is in one of the bundles, my Lord.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am sure it is, but I have not actually seen
20it yet. Is there anything that needs to be done before
21Mr Irving goes back into the box?
22 MR RAMPTON: I do not know whether he has anything.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Would you like to come back?
24 < MR DAVID IRVING, recalled.
25< Cross-Examined by Mr Rampton QC, continued.
26 MR RAMPTON: My Lord, I am going to start in Riga, then I am
1going to go to Yugoslavia and then I am going to go to the
2Warthegau, just to complete my 1941/42 tour of the size of
3the operation, and also make reference to what is plainly
4in some cases direct language and in other cases
5camouflage language. That should not, I hope, take very
6long. Then I will go back to, as it were,
7historiographical error -- I use the word neutrally --
8with the so-called Schlegelberger memorandum.
9 May Mr Irving, please, be given Professor
10Browning's report and at the same time files H3(ii), and
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
13 MR RAMPTON: Could one turn, please, to page 28 of Professor
14Browning's report? In fact, I will perhaps, because it
15will be important for context later on, start at the
16bottom of page 27, if I may, in paragraph 5.1.6: "Between
17October 18 and 21, 1941, the Foreign Office expert for
18Jewish affairs, Franz Rademacher" -- pausing there,
19Mr Irving, do you disagree with that description of Herr
20Rademacher's position?
21 A. [Mr Irving] He was head of the appropriate department in section 2.
22 Q. [Mr Rampton] He had a special responsibility in the Foreign Office for
23Jewish affairs?
24 A. [Mr Irving] Among other things, yes.
25 Q. [Mr Rampton] Yes. "and Eichmann's second deputy, Friedrich Suhr,
26visited Belgrade. After the trip Rademacher reported how
1the adult Jewish men in Serbia had been shot by the German
2army." Do you notice that? They have not been shot by the
3SS, they have been shot by the Wehrmacht, have they not?
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is Browning's words.
5 MR RAMPTON: Yes. But, if Browning is right, that is Wehrmacht
6and not the SS, is it not?
7 A. [Mr Irving] He has not given a quotation there for that.
8 Q. [Mr Rampton] Well, it may be that we would find it if we looked at
9Rademacher report?
10 A. [Mr Irving] Yes.
11 Q. [Mr Rampton] Would you like to look at that now?
12 A. [Mr Irving] No. I am not quite happy with that. In fact, you
13remember there is a page of photographs of this kind of
14thing in my book on the Nuremberg trials.
15 Q. [Mr Rampton] So not all the systematic -- I must not use that word,
16must I -- not all the mass shootings were done by the SS?
17 A. [Mr Irving] No,. We do not know, of course, why they were shot.
18 Q. [Mr Rampton] No.
19 A. [Mr Irving] He has just reported how they were shot, but not why.
20 Q. [Mr Rampton] Perhaps we might be able to deduce that in a little while,
21Mr Irving. " Concerning the fate of the Jewish women,
22children, and elderly, Rademacher reported: 'Then as soon
23as the technical possibility exists within the framework
24of the total solution to the Jewish question, the Jews
25will be deported by waterway to the reception camp in the
1 A. [Mr Irving] Yes.
2 Q. [Mr Rampton] Do you want to make a comment about that?
3 A. [Mr Irving] Well, of course, you are aware of the fact that I am going
4to comment on the fact that he has mistranslated "camps"
5as "camp".
6 Q. [Mr Rampton] "Camp", I see.
7 A. [Mr Irving] There is a substantial difference. "Into the reception
8camps". I think it is a deliberate mistranslation by
9Professor Browning.
10 Q. [Mr Rampton] You must put that to him. I am not going to take it up on
11his behalf.
12 A. [Mr Irving] I certainly shall. I am also drawing it to the court's
13attention. It puts a totally different complexion on the
15 Q. [Mr Rampton] Put your eye down, if you will, to the bottom of the page
16where you see the German?
17 A. [Mr Irving] "... In die Auffanglager..."?
18 Q. [Mr Rampton] Professor Browning, if he has made a deliberate
19mistranslation, it is not a very clever thing to have done
20as he has also given us the German text against which his
21English can be checked.
22 A. [Mr Irving] I have no doubt he is obliged to, but we have spotted his
24 Q. [Mr Rampton] You do not do it in your books, do you, Mr Irving?
25 A. [Mr Irving] You wish me in a thousand page book not only to put the
26English text of the documents, but the German text as

A century (and a decade) of jewelry-making brilliance
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 2:51:55 AM in A. Link (27)
The momentous year was 1904. The place was the young but fledgling streets of early New York. The man was Adolph Link, son of a Viennese goldsmith. After apprenticing under the city's distinguished jewelry makers like Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier, Mr. Link opened the freshly-painted doors of his new business venture. In 1912, he married Anna, whose great diligence and support for Mr. Link allowed the purchase of initial supplies of raw platinum and gold to create his own jewelry designs. From then on, the business boomed and generations of family members joined in and further enriched the A. Link tradition. Today, after 110 years and still family-owned and managed, A. Link & Co. continues to create timeless and exquisite diamond jewelry guided by superior craftsmanship and unrivalled design.
Shreve & Co in Portland, Oregon is an authorized dealer for A. Link.

Recent Changes
The revision date of each instruction
indicates the date the Criminal Jury Instructions Committee approved
the adoption or substantive revision of an instruction. When there
has been a minor stylistic change or an update to the commentary,
but the substantive body of the instruction remains the same, it
will be indicated by a parenthetical date for modification. E.g.,
"Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified June 15, 2008)" means that on
June 15, 2008, the instruction or its commentary was modified in
some minor way that did not affect the substance of the instruction.

September 2013
The following changes were approved by the Criminal Jury Instructions Committee on May 23, 2013:
New Instruction
1.1-6 Supplemental Instruction for Selected Jurors and Alternates
This new instruction was added in response to
Kervick v. Silver Hills Hospital, 309 Conn. 688 (2013), which instructed trial courts to instruct newly selected jurors and alternates to avoid all publicity and communications about the case. In addition, to better organize the instructions to the voir dire panel, minor changes were made to 1.1-4 The Voir Dire Process and 1.1-5 Juror's Duties and Responsibilities.
2.4-7 Defendant's Testimony
Our Supreme Court, in
State v. Medrano, 308 Conn. 604 (2013), directed trial courts "to refrain from instructing jurors, when a defendant testifies, that they may specifically consider the defendant's interest in the outcome of the case and the importance to him of the outcome of the trial. Instead, we instruct the trial courts to use the general credibility instruction to apply to a criminal defendant who testifies." Id., 631. The Court then cited Instruction 2.4-7 as proper.
2.6-4 Identification of Defendant
In State v. Guilbert, 306 Conn. 218 (2012), the Court approved the use of expert testimony on eyewitness identification. If such testimony is permitted, the trial court should refer the jury to the instruction on evaluating expert testimony.
Capital felony
Instruction 5.5 has been amended to reflect the statutory change from "capital felony" to "murder with special circumstances."
General Statutes § 53a-135 was amended to define another way of committing Robbery in the Second Degree. Instruction 6.4-2 was modified to reflect the changes in the subsection numbering, and Instruction 6.4-5 was added for Robbery in the Second Degree (in a Bank or Credit Union).
Miscellaneous Changes
The following instructions were revised as the result of suggestions received by the committee:
2.6-13 Other Misconduct - Criminal Sexual Behavior
The phrase "aberrant and compulsive sexual behavior" was changed to "criminal sexual behavior." The latter phrase was thought to be more neutral and less prejudicial.
4.3-1 Interfering with an Officer -- § 53a-167a
Revised the paragraph that defines "obstructs, resists, hinders, and endangers" to reflect case law that discusses the four verbs as describing interfering, rather than four discrete ways of committing the offense.
July 2012
The following changes were approved by the Criminal Jury Instructions Committee on
May 10, 2012:
1.2-13 Use of Interpreters - In General
1.2-14 Accepting Translation as the Evidence
1.2-15 When Defendant has an Interpreter
2.7-5 Diminished Capacity
2.10-5 When Alternate Juror Empaneled after Deliberations have Begun
8.3-7 Reckless Driving -- § 14-222
10.7-4 Criminal Impersonation by Electronic Device - § 53a-130 (a) (4)
P.A. No. 11-129 replaced the term "mental retardation" with "intellectual disability" in numerous statutes.
P.A. No. 11-71 made possession of less than one-half ounce of a cannabis-type substance an infraction. This required changes to many of the drug offense instructions.
P.A. No. 11-165, § 1, modified the definition of identity theft by deleting the requirement that the money, credit, goods, services, property or medical information obtained be "in the name of the person." Instruction 10.3-1 has been modified accordingly.
In addition, changes were made to the following instructions as the result of suggestions received by the committee.
2.10-3, Sympathy
- Expanded to include references to prejudices and bias.
8.3-5 Drinking while Operating Motor Vehicle - Changes were made to correspond with the new Reckless Driving instruction.
June 6, 2011
The following changes were approved by the Criminal Jury Instructions Committee on
May 20, 2011:
2.11-6 Specific Unanimity
2.12-3 Commission of Crime while on Release -- § 53a-40b
6.12-2 Trafficking in Persons -- § 53a-192a
7.7-6 Possessing or Transmitting Child Pornography by Minor -- § 53a-196h
2.12-1 Persistent Offenders -- § 53a-40, § 53a- 40a, § 53a-40d and § 53a-40f
- P.A. No. 10-144, § 12, removed the five-year look-back period from § 53a-40d and added a provision for out-of-state convictions to that statute. Such a provision is also in § 53as-40 and § 53a-40f. A footnote was added explaining that this finding is a question of law for the court.
4.5-9 Perjury -- § 53a-156 -
P.A. No. 10-180, § 7, incorporated the Unsworn Foreign Declaration Act and added an affirmative defense of coercion.
7.3-1 Prostitution -- § 53a-82
- P.A. No. 10-115, § 1, add an element requiring that the defendant be at least sixteen years old and an affirmative defense of coercion.
7.3-5 Promoting Prostitution in the First Degree (By a Minor) -- § 53a-86 (a) (2)
- P.A. No. 10-115, §§ 2 and 3, amended § 53a-86 (a) (2) and deleted § 53a-87 (a) (2), making Promoting Prostitution by a Minor a first degree offense when against anyone under 18 years of age. If the offense was against a person 16 or 17 years of age prior to October 1, 2010, it was second degree.
7.7-4 Possessing Child Pornography -- §§ 53a-196d, 53a-196e, and 53a-196f
P.A. No. 10-191, §§ 2-4, added to first degree the alternative of one or more visual depictions of child pornography that depict the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury, and added to all degrees an affirmative defense that the possession was a violation of § 53a-196h, Possessing or Transmitting Child Pornography by Minor (aka, "sexting").
3.1 Vicarious Liability
- Rewrote the Introduction, Instruction 3.1, to better incorporate § 53a-8 (b), Vicarious Liability for Providing a Firearm, and adding the necessity for a specific unanimity instruction if any combination of liability under § 53a-8 (a), § 53a-8 (b), and Pinkerton is alleged in Instructions 3.1-1, 3.-1-3, and 3.1-4.
6.5-5 Unlawful Restraint in the First Degree -- § 53a-95 and 6.5-6 Unlawful Restraint in the Second Degree -- § 53a-96
- Separated the prior first element, intentional restraint, into two elements, intent to restrain and restraint.
7.2-1 Constancy of Accusation
- Added language to explain the limitations put upon constancy of accusation testimony by Troupe to avoid the possibility that jurors might find that the victim's testimony regarding the details of the crime that went beyond the limitations of the constancy testimony was not corroborated or supported by, and thus inconsistent with, the constancy testimony.
The statutory definition of numerous phrases used in the forgery statutes were revised by P.A. No. 10-180, § 4.
April 23, 2010
The following changes were approved by the Criminal Jury Instructions Committee on April 23, 2010:
Interference with a Search -- § 54-33d
- The new instruction
was modeled on other similar instructions, especially Instruction
4.3-1, Interference with an Officer. In reviewing the explanation
of the term "in the performance of duties" that appears in that
instruction and which was derived from appellate case law, it was
decided that the phrase "engaging in a personal frolic of his/her
own," a term of art derived from agency law, was not appropriate for
a lay jury. In the interest of using plain language whenever
possible, the explanation of "in the performance of duties" was
modified in Instructions 4.3-1, Interference with an Officer; 4.3-3,
Assault of Public Safety or Emergency Medical Personnel; 5.5-1,
Capital Felony, Murder of a Police Officer; and 6.1-17, Assault of
an Employee of the Department of Correction.
2.5-3 Informant Testimony
- This instruction has been substantially
revised in light of State v. Arroyo, 292 Conn. 558 (2009).
8.3-1 Driving
Under the Influence -- § 14-227a - P.A. No. 09-187, §
62, lowered the blood alcohol content for the "per se" violation if
the defendant was driving a commercial vehicle, effective October 1,
8.3-2 Driving
Under the Influence, Under 21 Years Old -- § 14-227g
P.A. No. 09-187, §
64, removed the requirement of a public highway, effective October
1, 2009.
P.A. No. 09-138,
effective October 1, 2009, amended General Statutes §§ 53a-122
through 53a-125b, to adjust the dollar amounts that separate the
degrees of larceny. This change affected all larceny instructions
in which the value of the property is an element. See Introduction
to Larceny for a table with the new values.
10.3-1 Identity
TheftP.A. No. 09-239
redefined identity theft, effective October 1, 2009. The old
instruction was archived for use in future trials under the old
The definition of
"dangerous instrument" was revised in light of the discussion in
State v. Ovechka, 118 Conn. App. 733, 739 (2010).
The statutory
definition of "school employee" was modified by P.A. No. 09-242, §
1, and that of "prescription" by P.A. No. 09-22, § 3.
P.A. No. 09-191, §
2, added a new term, "public transit employee," to § 53a-167c ,
Assault of Public Safety or Emergency Medical Personnel.
The term "health
care professional," which appears in § 53a-71 (a) (7), Sexual
Assault in the Second Degree, and § 53a-73a (a) (5), Sexual Assault
in the Fourth Degree, has no statutory definition in the Penal
Code. Section 19a-12a (a) (3) defines it as a person licensed under
any of numerous statutes. The new glossary entry for "health care
professional" provides a chart of all the statutes that set forth
the definitions and licensing requirements for the different health
care professionals.
June 12, 2009
The following changes were
approved by the Criminal Jury Instruction Committee on June 12, 2009:
2.2-5 Self-Represented Defendant
Revised Instructions
1.2-10 Your Conduct as Jurors -
Revised to add more warnings about using new technologies for
research and communication, like Twitter and Google Earth.
1.2-11 Note-Taking - Removed the
limitation of note-taking to the evidence portion of the trial
only. The committee felt that this is not required by the
Practice Book and whether to allow note-taking at other times is
within the discretion of the judge.
2.8-1 Self-Defense and Defense of
Others - Amended the three opening paragraphs and the
concluding section to remove references to lesser included
offenses. Instructing the jury on the process of considering
defenses in conjunction with lesser included offenses is
independent of the instruction on self-defense.
2.12-1 Persistent Offenders and
2.12.-2 Subsequent Offenders -
Removed the sentence concerning the sufficiency of a certified
copy as evidence of a conviction. Changed the conclusion from a
finding of guilty to the use of an interrogatory and included a
sample interrogatory.
5.3-1 Manslaughter in the Second
Degree with a Motor Vehicle and 6.1-12 Assault in the Second Degree
with a Motor Vehicle - Because the statutes defining these
offenses are parallel, the instructions have been revised to
make the elements parallel.
6.2-1 Threatening in the First Degree
(Intentional), 6.2-2 Threatening in the First Degree
(Reckless), 6.2-3 Threatening in the Second
Degree and 8.4-4 Breach of the Peace in the
Second Degree - Replaced the definition of "threaten" to
incorporate an explanation of a "true threat."
6.5-2 Kidnapping in the First Degree
and 6.5-3 Kidnapping in the Second Degree
- Upon reconsideration, the committee decided that
Kidnapping in the Second Degree, which simply reads "A person is
guilty of kidnapping in the second degree when he abducts
another person," is better presented as a single element
offense. This facilitates the incorporation of it into
Kidnapping in the First Degree and the inclusion of language
comparing the intent to abduct with the intent to commit another
6.7-2 Stalking in the Second Degree
and 6.7-3 Stalking in the Third Degree
- Added a definition for "lying in wait."
6.10-3 Intimidation Based on Bigotry
or Bias in the Third Degree - Added the definition of
"reasonable cause" from Instruction 6.10-2.
1, 2008
Commentary has been updated with case law through November 1, 2008.
In addition, the following substantive changes have been made:
New Instructions
2.6-12 Medical Treatment Evidence.
See State v. Marcial S., 104 Conn. App. 361, 364-67
2.6-13 Other Misconduct – Criminal
Sexual Behavior. See State v. DeJesus, 288 Conn.
418, 474 n.36 (2008), and State v. Snelgrove, 288 Conn.
742 (2008).
Kidnapping and Unlawful
Introduction to Kidnapping
and Unlawful Restraint. This introductory section was revised in
light of State v. Salamon, 287 Conn. 509 (2008), State v.
Sanseverino, 287 Conn. 608 (2008), and State v. DeJesus,
288 Conn. 418 (2008).
Kidnapping in the Second Degree -- § 53a-94. This instruction
was revised in light of the above cited cases.
6.5-5 Unlawful
Restraint in the First Degree -- § 53a-95 and
6.5-6 Unlawful
Restraint in the Second Degree -- § 53a-96. These instructions
were modified to be consistent with the changes made in 6.5-3 in
their definitions of restraint and consent.
Sexual Assault in the 3rd
and 4th Degrees
7.1-8 Sexual
Assault in the Third Degree -- § 53a-72a (a) (1)
7.1-11 Sexual
Assault in the Fourth Degree -- § 53a-73a (a) (1)
7.1-12 Sexual
Assault in the Fourth Degree -- § 53a-73a (a) (2) through (a)
These three
instructions were revised to make them consistent with one another
in their definition of "sexual conduct" and intent. Some of the
revisions were the result of rethinking the changes made in June
2008, which had distinguished the intent of subsection (a) (1) of §
53a-73a from that of subsections (a) (2) through (a) (8) because of
the placement of "intentionally" in the statute. The committee is
now convinced that all subsections of sexual assault that are
premised on "sexual contact" are specific intent crimes. See
State v. Faria, 254 Conn. 613, 636 n.24 (2000).
A statement was added to all
the burglary instructions directing the court to not only identify
the crime that the defendant allegedly intended to commit but to
also outline the elements of the crime.
Miscellaneous changes
Credibility. The concluding paragraph was modified in response
to State v. Ouellette, 110 Conn. App. 401, 415 (2008).
Impeachment – Inconsistent Statements. An additional paragraph
was added to address omissions as inconsistent statements. See
State v. Simpson, 286 Conn. 634, 649 (2008).
Accessories and Accomplices -- § 53a-8 (a). The definition of
"solicit" was corrected.
6.4-2 Robbery
in the Second Degree -- § 53a-135. Definitions for deadly
weapon and dangerous instrument had been inadvertently left out.
August 2008
The following changes were
made to align the instructions with changes made to the statutes during
the 2008 session of the General Assembly:
The phrase "or quasi-public agency" was added to the definition of
"public servant" by Public Acts 2008, No. 08--3,
§ 7, effective October 1, 2008.
It occurs in the following instructions:
"Department of Motor Vehicles
inspector" was added to General Statutes 53a-167a, 53a-167b, and
by Public Acts 2008, No. 08-150, §§ 52, 53, 54, effective October 1,
2008. Changes were made to the following instructions to
accommodate this addition:
General Statutes § 38a-287,
Defrauding Life or Accident Insurance Companies, was amended by
public Acts 2008, No. 08-178,
§ 12, to raise from $100 to $2,000 the amount

Just checking I'm not the only one before I log a bug report, has anybody had a problem whereby an entity is saved as a library component and when the library browsr is opened, it appears twice? This seems to be happening now with all my libraries.
These are in the electronic parts library. Also, there appears to be another set of parts under the transistors directory. Anybody aware of why they are there instead of in the correct spots?

Care for Yourself, Check Your Cosmetics
My sister Kathy is pretty green; in fact she is the one who got me into green living from a toxics perspective years ago. I was visiting her for the weekend recently, and as it often goes when we are together, our conversation touched on healthy/green news. I mentioned that she might want to check the personal-care product line she uses on Skin Deep, the online cosmetic safety database developed by Environmental Working Group, to see if it is as healthy as she assumes.

McCrory to review workplace, school day policies
Published: Saturday, February 15, 2014 at 10:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 15, 2014 at 10:05 a.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Pat McCrory says he'll review policies that penalize state employees for staying home during a storm even when top officials are advising people not to travel.
McCrory said at a news conference Friday that he'll review those polices along with one requiring students to have 185 classroom days or 1,025 hours. He says he'll meet with legal advisers, state school Superintendent June Atkinson and state school board chairman Bill Cobey about whether he can give school districts more flexibility about meeting that legal obligation.
This week's winter storm caused schools to be closed for as many as four days this week. These closures came on top of the ones from a winter storm last month.
McCrory says he's pleased that no one spent a night in their car.

TaskFreak! does not show within the interface a unique ticket/task number. Depending on the use of TaskFreak! having such a value can have it's benefits. Since this unique value does already exist in the back end, it will be fairly trivial to render this value within the task list and task details panel. I will show you how this is done using Searcher's solution posted in the TaskFreak! Forum. There has been some modifications but not much.

DHHR Study
Operate agency more efficiently
May 12, 2013
More than one-third of what West Virginia state government spends each year goes through the Department of Health and Human Resources....
Good Intentions, clearly you are an educated professional who is (or has)working in this field. Thank you for your compassionate and important work. There is always room for improvement, ways to cut waste, in these programs but the work they do cannot be underrated. I only wish that those who do are not as knowledgeable as yourself or who rely on anecdotal evidence, could develop some empathy.

GoodIntentions, we taxpayers have tried it you way long enough. We have shelled out millions of dollars thanks to your sob stories and propaganda all about what victims addicts are and how instead of being held accountable they should be given understanding, sympathy, counseling, medication and hugs. So how come your way hasn't worked? If you were so right why is the addiction problem in our area and country only getting worse-and more expensive? It's time for a change! If you are in the addiction treatment field I suggest that you start weighing your options and come up with an employment based Plan B. I would hate to see you under the train bridge one day holding a sing that reads "Will Enable Addicts For Food."

grinandbearit is SO right. The only victims of addiction in this case are the taxpayers. Yes GoodIntentions, someone close to me was afflicted with an addiction problem. They did not have insurance and could not afford to go to treatment. So they went to meetings, worked a recovery program, did not boo hoo to a coulselor and get antidperessant medication and-surprise-they are still clean and sober. I think It's funny that the only people who on board with this whole "addiction is a disease and addicts are the victims" concept are the people who profit from it the most-counselers, medical professionals, pharamicists and addicts who use them as an excuse to keep using and stay on welfare.

victim of addiction? Well if that's the case lets legislate against and ban addictions (sarcasm)

Also you may be cool with someone getting a drug conviction in another state-but having them go to WV for treatment at the taxpayers expense because they were originally from WV, but I'm not! Yes residents of halfway houses are SUPPOSED to pay rent. I invite you to call/visit your nearest local halfway house and see how many residents actually DO pay rent and how many skip out.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
GoodIntentions you may know the laws-but not the reality of the situation. So what you're saying is that, no halfway house in WV has residents who are on food stamps and do not come from another state? I encourage you to look in your own back yarddo some investigating and make a few calls! Wake Up Call Completed!

I think that there needs to be some clarification on halfway houses, drug treatment,rehab centers, SSI and welfare benefits. Primary diagnosis of drug or alcohol addiction is NOT an automatic qualifier for you to be a recipient of any benefits. Please read the 1996 Welfare Reform Act to make an educated comment. Secondly, halfway houses ARE resident self pay via rent etc and they DO NOT accept out of state inmates transferring to WV UNLESS they were a WV resident prior to their conviction. Thirdly, WV has approximately 250 inpatient beds (pathetic) for addiction with a waiting list of 15k so community residential programs are necessary for those transitioning from addiction to sobriety. Sometimes a daily AA/NA meeting is not enough. Be thankful that you or a family member have not been the victim of addiction. It crosses all ages, races, gender and socioeconomic status' and certainly doesn't hand pick just those receiving welfare.

Thanks for the support 380AUTO & GUY007! If someone wants to come to Wood County from out of state, or another WV county, to get sober and stay in a halfway house or treatment center, the residents of Wood County should not be expected to pay for their food and medical care. I would like to know how much money got spent last year feeding and caring for people,some of whom got out of prisons from other states, with drug addictions? These are questions that need to be answered!

DHHR money, which is received from the hardworking taxpayers, should be used ONLY to aid the deserving poor, and NOT the lazy or the addicts, who are addicted by the choices they made in their useless lives.

I have to say I agree with janeeyre1 our tax money needs to stay in wood county to help our senior citizens and the people like babys that have parents that work but cant afford the medical help they need for there children
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I know how to save a lot of money. Stop rehab centers/halfway houses to become more self supporting and stop them from depending on food stamps and medical cards to care for their clients. In many cases, people suffering from an addiction problem from other areas outside Wood County-including other states-to get treatment. If they choose to come here for treatment why should the residents of Wood County be expected to pay for their food and medical care? In most cases these clients are never required to complete their recovery programs and can leave-and return to using drugs and alcohole whenever they please. This is a poor investment.

Teenagers are notorious for pulling pranks, especially on Halloween. And police say that's exactly what happened last Monday night, expect this time it could've killed someone.
Several cars were damaged last Monday when teenagers threw bricks at the cars going down Wheeler Road near Big Oak Park. That's less than a block away from the Surrey Center. Crime Team 12 is on your side with the story.
Police say there were four reported incidents on Halloween, all occurring between 7:30-8p.m. None of the victims were injured but police say it couldn't been much worse.
Phillip was on his way to a Halloween party on Monday night, driving down a familiar road.
"I had my radio on, I was jamming," said Phillip Killough, victim.
When all of a sudden…
"Bam, bam, bam," Killough said.
He thought he did the unthinkable.
"I thought I hit something or someone, I wasn't sure what happened then I'd seen the damage and I thought if I hit something it would've hit my mirror, too," Killough said.
That's when he learned he didn't do anything wrong, instead he was the victim of a violent act and he wasn't alone.
"We had four reports on Halloween night when vehicles traveling were stuck by bricks," said Calvin Chew.
"It hit right there, half went in the car and the other half hit back window which I'm lucky I didn't break and another brick glazed right there," Killough said.
Grateful that was all that had happened.
"Usually I have my dog with me and she'll ride right here, it could've hit her," Killough said.
"Even though it's a prank, it could've caused serious injury or death," Chew said.
All of the incidents occurring within minutes of eachother as the victims were driving east down Wheeler Road.
"This is the first time in that area for this type of incidence," Chew said.
While an incident like this may have some steering clear from the area, Phillip says it won't change his daily routine.
"You take your chances. Guess it could happen anywhere, it's just kids being kids. Can't do much about it," Killough said.
Phillip says the cost of the damages were close to $2,000, but after the deductible he only had to pay $250.
Police are asking that anyone who saw or heard anything that night to call the sheriff's department.

The History of SplitThe first inhabitant of Split was the Roman emperor Diocletian who started to build his palace in this friendly bay around 293 AD. After his abdication he withdrew to this luxurious palace of about 30 thousand square meters.
The following turbulent centuries made the palace into a town first populated by the citizens of the nearby Salona, fleeing before Avars and Slavs. The town overgrew the walls of the palace and its authorities kept changing - from Croatian kings in 10th century AD, Hungarian and Venetian administration, to French rulers and Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
Such past left its traces combined in the town everyday life. The city, however, went on remaining the centre of this part of the coast till our day. This mixture of historic layers brought some clumsiness and some things done too fast but today all that makes a part of its originality.
Split is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. The city is located on the shores of the Mediterranean, more specifically on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, spreading over a central peninsula and its surroundings, with its metropolitan area including the many surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to the numerous surrounding Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination.
Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area, and is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old, while archaeological research relating to the ancient Greek colony of Aspálathos (6th century BC) establishes the city as being several hundred years older.
The ancient city is named after the Spiny Broom (Calicotome villosa; brnistra or žuka in modern Croatian), a common shrub in the area. The 6th century BC Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) or Spálathos (Σπάλαθος), from which the city originates, was named after the common plant. As the city became a Roman possession, the Latin name became "Spalatum", which in the Middle Ages evolved into "Spalatro" in the Dalmatian language of the city's Roman population. The South Slavic version became "Split", while the Venetian italianized version was "Spalato". During the early 19th century, the name was "Spljet", and finally "Split" once more.
Thus, contrary to popular belief, the name "Spalatum" has nothing to do with the Latin word for palace, palatium (thought to be a reference to Diocletian's Palace, which forms the core of the city). The erroneous etymology was notably due to Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, and was later reaffirmed by Thomas the Archdeacon.
While the beginnings of Split are often connected to the construction of Diocletian's Palace, the city was founded earlier as a Greek colony of Aspálathos. The Greek settlement lived off trade with the surrounding Illyrian tribes, mostly the Delmatae, who inhabited the (much larger) nearby city of Salona. In time, the Roman Republic became the dominant power in the region, and conquered the Illyrians in the Illyrian Wars of 229 and 219 BC. Upon establishing permanent control, the Romans founded the province of Dalmatia [2] with Salona as the capital, and at that time the name of the nearby Greek colony Aspálathos was changed to "Spalatum".
After he nearly died of an illness, the Roman Emperor Diocletian (ruled AD 284 to 305), great reformer of the late Roman Empire, decided to retire from politics in AD 305. The Emperor ordered work to begin on a retirement palace near his hometown, and since he was from the town of Dioclea he chose the harbor near Salona for the location. Work on the palace began in AD 293 in readiness for his retirement from politics. The palace was built as a massive structure, much like a Roman military fortress. It faces the sea on its south side, with its walls 170 to 200 meters (570 to 700 feet) long, and 15 to 20 meters (50 to 70 feet) high, enclosing an area of 38,000 m² (9½ acres). The palace water supply was substantial, fed by an aqueduct from Jadro Spring. This opulent palace and its surroundings were at times inhabited by a population as large as 8,000 to 10,000 people, who required parks and recreation space; therefore, Diocletian established such outdoor areas at Marjan hill. The palace was finished in AD 305, right on time to receive its owner, who retired exactly according to schedule, becoming the first Roman Emperor to voluntarily remove himself from office. After a few years, a group of Roman Senators came to Diocletian's palace, asking the former emperor to return to Rome and help the Empire to overcome growing political problems. Diocletian refused, and while he was showing them his garden, he told them that he could not leave his beautiful garden which he had created by his own hands. This gesture showed that he remained bound by his word to leave political life after 21 years of ruling the Roman Empire.
Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, Spalatum became a part of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium. It grew very slowly as a satellite town of the much larger Salona. However, around AD 639 Salona fell to the invasion of Avars and Slavs, and was razed to the ground, with the majority of the displaced citizens fleeing to the nearby Adriatic islands. Following the return of Byzantine rule to the area, the Romanic citizens returned to the mainland under the leadership of the nobleman known as Severus the Great. They chose to inhabit Diocletian's Palace in Spalatum, because of its strong (more "medieval") fortifications. The palace was long deserted by this time, and the interior was converted into a city by the Salona refugees, making Spalatum much larger as the successor to the capital city of the province. Today the palace constitutes the inner core of the city, still inhabited, full of shops, markets, squares, with an ancient Cathedral of St. Duje (formerly Diocletian's mausoleum) inserted in the corridors and floors of the former palace. As a part of the Byzantine Empire, the city had varying but significant political autonomy.
Split is situated on a peninsula between the eastern part of the Gulf of Kaštela and the Split Channel. The Marjan hill (178 m), rises in the western part of the peninsula. The ridges Kozjak (779 m) and his brother Mosor (1339 m) protect the city from the north and northeast, and separate it from the hinterland.
Split has a Mediterranean climate: hot, moderately dry summers (maximum air temperature in July reaches 38 °C) and warm but wet winters. Average annual rainfall is 806.2 mm. Vegetation is of the evergreen Mediterranean type, and subtropical flora (palm-trees, agaves, cacti) grow in the city and its surroundings. The Marjan hill is covered with a large cultivated forest.

Produced by Altadis USA, Phillies cigars have been in vogue for quite some time now. The machine-made cigars are popular for their distinctly unique flavor and tantalizing aroma. The Phillies were initially made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from which they derive their name. The original Phillies cigars were introduced way back in 1910 by the Bayuk Brothers.
They're rich not only in history, but also in flavor. Once you experience their earthy flavor and sweet aroma you will understand the reason behind their long-standing popularity. These well-constructed cigars are enclosed in high-quality homogenized wrappers. Each cigar offers a smooth and effortless draw, making for a truly delightful experience.
These cigars are available in a variety of sizes, depending upon the variant you pick. Phillies Little cigars are the tiniest amongst the lot, with a length of 3⅞ inches and a ring gauge of 20. Opt for the Phillies Titan if you want a long-lasting smoke; each one has a length of 6¼ inches and a ring gauge of 44.
If you're looking for a classy cigar that fits your budget, then your search ends with the Phillies. These machine-made cigars have a long history. Phillies cigars have been immortalized in a painting by Edward Hooper called Nighthawks. They are available in a range of different flavors, including cheroot, strawberry, chocolate grape and others. Pair these cigars with a steaming hot cup of coffee or your favorite alcoholic drink and lose yourself to the flavor and aroma.

AT&T and T-Mobile have recently announced plans that let people upgrade their phones more often. But before you get too excited, you need to do the math.
T-Mobile started it all in March by eliminating the dreaded two-year contract and allowing people to finance their phones, interest-free over a 24-month period. And recently, the No. 4 carrier sweetened the deal by announcing a "Jump" program that allows customers to upgrade their phones every six month. For years, the standard industry practice has been to lock you into a two-year contract and make you wait about that long before offering you a subsidized upgrade in exchange for a two-year renewal.
But things are changing. Sort of.
With both the new T-Mobile and AT&T deals, it's possible to get a new phone sooner -- as soon as six months with T-Mobile and a year with AT&T -- and you might not have to sign a two-year service agreement. But you're still on the hook for monthly payments that could wind up costing you as much as or more than you're paying now.
Verizon and Sprint will sell you a Samsung Galaxy S4 for $200 with a two-year contract. T-Mobile charges $630 for that phone with no subsidy, but you don't have to pay it all at once. There is a $150 down payment plus a $10 charge for the SIM card when you pick up your new phone. You then pay $20 a month for 24 months for a total cost of $640 plus tax.
The good news is you don't have to sign a two-year contract. The bad news is you are on the hook for the entire $640 over that two-year period. You can change carriers, but you still have pay for the phone.
This month T-Mobile sweetened the deal by announcing the Jump program, which allows you to upgrade the phone after only six months. If you decide you want the latest and greatest model, you return your phone, pay the down payment on the new one and the clock starts all over again. You don't have to pay the remaining balance on your old phone, but you now have a new two-year payment plan on the new one.
You can do this every six months, which means you'll have the latest phone. But that also means you'll have a perpetual payment of $20 a month, or whatever your new phone costs divided by 24 monthly payments. Oh, and there's a $10-a-month fee for participating in this program, which includes loss and damage insurance. So you'll really be paying $30 a month for that Galaxy S4.
AT&T countered with a somewhat similar deal of its own. It also will charge you the full price of the phone, but will let you finance it over a 20 month period, and there's no down payment. If you decide to trade the phone in after a year, you start a new 20-month payment contract. And if you quit your AT&T service, the remaining balance is due immediately -- which seems a bit like those dreaded early termination fees.
AT&T said a Galaxy S4 (which retails for $595) would cost $32 a month in addition to the wireless service plan. That means you'll pay a total of $640 for that phone if you keep it the entire 20 months. And that's on top of whatever you're paying for service, which can easily be between $100 and $150 a month depending on the plan.
But if you take advantage of the annual trade-in plan, what will really happen is that you'll pay $384 a year to -- essentially -- rent your phone. That's because when you upgrade to the new phone, you have to give your old one back to AT&T so they can resell it as a refurbished phone -- most likely at a profit. The dollar amounts are slightly different, but the same concept applies with T-Mobile's six month plan.
In the old model of paying a subsidized price, you actually get to keep your phone, which means you can give it to someone or sell it. When I upgraded to the iPhone 5, I sold my year-old iPhone 4S for $235 -- $35 more than I paid for it. And I took advantage of a special offer to upgrade for far less than the $650 retail price of the iPhone 5.
But to find out the real price of any phone, you have to include the service costs, and that's where it gets even more complicated. It may take you several hours on the Web or on the phone to figure out your best deal. But considering the amount of money at stake over a two-year period, it's worth the effort.

EASTERN Ky. (WYMT) - The Allen Central Rebels are up next in our DQ Grill and Chill countdown to tip off series.
After finishing last season 15-15 under first year head coach Brad Short, the Rebels have higher expectation. With a guard heavy roster, they look to live up to their patented nickname, the "Running Rebs".
"What we want to do, is concentrate on playing the best basketball we can play", said head coach Brad Short. "Playing harder than anyone we can play, and playing better than anyone we can play. And if we do that, we are going to be successful."
"We are looking to come out and win plenty of ball games this year. I know we are ranked lower in region. But, we are going to come out and definitely shock the people that Is watching us", said forward Cameron Hamilton.
"It is going to be winning and learning, not winning and losing. Just like Coach Calipari says, we want, as the season goes on, we want to learn more", said guard Junior Handshoe. "And then, instead of losing, we want to learn, when we lose. We want to learn from that and keep on going as a team, and hopefully, what we learned from last year will carry on to this year."
"Get to regionals, win actually, first playoff game. Just work hard", said Josh Wiley.
"It's going to be wide open like Junior said. Everyone looks like they have evened out this year. Everyone lost all of their seniors, so it is going to be a clean slate this year", said guard Eli Conley.
The DQ Grill and Chill Roundball preview show with air on Thursday, November 29th from 7-8pm on WYMT. That is when we will announce the initial Alice Lloyd College Mountain Top Ten for the both the boys and the girls.

Who knows? Whatever the reason, this show deserves classic status. It's got it all - the bust-out factor, the great (if compressed slightly) fall 94 jamming, the creative set list design for both sets, and a killer encore.
Let's dive in.
Set I: Um, hello? A rare and intense My Friend opener; a strangely placed Simple->Runaway Jim combo (and a strange combo for any show); and the pure treat of SOAM->Buffalo Bill->Makisupa->Rift to cap it off makes what would have been an otherwise typical warm-up set for a Fall 94 jamfest in Set II become absolutely mandatory listening for any phan. Forever.
Set II: You mean it gets better?!
DWD->TMWSIY>Avenu>TMWSIY->Sparks>Uncle Pen to kick it off. I don't think I need to really say much more about that string; it's self-explanatory. The DWD is high-energy and rocking; the TMWSIY sandwich is always serene-plus-fun; and just throw in a dash of The Who's Tommy for seasoning. Plus some bluegrass for good measure. w00t!
Caught your breath? Good. Next stop: YEM. A typical strong 94 YEM, and actually a short and sweet version considering the other YEMs of that tour and year. Jazzy-creepy vocal jam.
Good Fishman-tastic fun and banter with Bike is next. Now they'll probably wind it down with something lame like Sample or maybe a nice Horse>Silent, right?
WRONG. How about a smoking Antelope with Sleeping Monkey plunked right in the middle of it? Bam! That. Just. Happened.
Encore? A beautiful, soaring Harry Hood. The perfect way to end any show, and a pitch-perfect way to end this one.
For those who don't know the set list by heart already, this show is a lot of fun to just put on from start to finish and try not to remember or even guess what song comes next.
Because 9 times out of 10 with 10-29-94, what comes next is anyone's guess.
Highly recommended.

After originally committing to Cal, De La Salle High's Victor Egu now plans to play football at Yale.
Egu, expecting to play linebacker at Cal, had given his verbal commitment to Jeff Tedford in early November. After Tedford was fired, the 6-foot-3, 230-pound senior didn't see himself fitting in the Bears' system anymore.
"The new coaching staff informed me that they wanted me to play defensive end, which I was fine with," Egu said. "But they were full at that position. They didn't need me really. I thought, I'm not going to stay where I'm not really needed."
Egu, who held offers from several Pac-12 schools as well as Notre Dame and Nebraska, switched his commitment to the Ivy League school this week.
"They were a school that was after me really early in the process," Egu said of Yale. "Education was also a factor. I know football isn't everything and with a degree from Yale I'll have a wide range of opportunities."
Egu played defensive end for the Spartans in their 15-0 season, but expects to play linebacker at Yale.
