Although my home base is still without power, five days later, I did get through Hurricane Sandy all right.
New posts will have to wait until I can use a computer other than my smartphone for more than a few minutes at a time.
But I did make it through. I didn't want anyone to worry.
Until I can type for longer, I hope you all made it through as well, and that we'll all have power again soon.

Definition of summand in English:
A quantity to be added to another.
Example sentences
- Perhaps his most famous work was on the number p of partitions of an integer n into summands.
- This includes many surprising analogues to results in commutative algebra theory, such as the Serre splitting theorem on the existence of free summands and the theorem of Bass on the cancellation of free summands.
- Goldie showed that the number of summands in a maximal direct sum of uniform ideals contained in a right ideal I of R is an invariant of I.
Mid 19th century: from Latin summandus 'to be added', gerundive of summare.

Get to Know the Nation-State Hacker Landscape
Tips to Improve Your Cybersecurity
Given the recent news about China hacking into the networks of U.S. media companies—and the increasing frequency of warnings from the U.S. government about the risks of a "cyber 9/11"—the world may seem like a confusing landscape of cyber threats. Not all of those threats are the same, however. Nation-state hackers have different goals, and pose different kinds of risks. U.S. companies may be more vulnerable to one kind of attack than another, but they should understand the entire spectrum of threat.
Even in light of the recent news about China hacking U.S. newspapers, it appears that hackers based in other countries may pose a more systemic threat to critical infrastructure such as utility grids. It's likely the increased warnings about the risk of cyber attacks to electric grids and other critical systems are being fueled by concerns that Iran is gaining more sophisticated hacking capabilities, says James A. Lewis, director and senior fellow of the technology and public policy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Mr. Lewis says he believes that Iran was the perpetrator of the August attack on Saudi Arabian Oil Company and the subsequent attacks on U.S. banks. "They were testing the American reaction and they were testing a new weapon," he told CIO Journal.
"There are immense ongoing Chinese economic espionage efforts," said Mr. Lewis but those are primarily centered on gaining technological advantage through the theft of intellectual property. Yet, he says, the economies of the U.S. and China are intertwined and it simply does not make sense that China would attack banks when it is the largest holder of U.S. debt.
More than 25% of Chinese exports go to the U.S. each year, so it's unlikely that China would perpetrate an attack that would take down pieces of critical infrastructure, said James W. Gabberty, a professor of information systems at Pace University.
Mr. Lewis says that there is evidence of Chinese hackers in the U.S. electric grid, but that it is unlikely China would move to shut down U.S. infrastructure unless it became engaged in a shooting war with the U.S. or an ally such as Japan, whom the U.S. is bound by treaty to defend. If, at some point in the future, the U.S. and China were to get into an overt military conflict, then China may decide to use cyber capabilities against U.S. infrastructure. "China is one story, Iran is another," he said. Iran is the more immediate and unpredictable systemic threat to U.S. infrastructure, although hacking by China, for purposes of corporate or state espionage, presents a large and growing risk to U.S. companies.
Mr. Lewis says the U.S. has different kinds of opponents and that Iran and China calculate things differently. "An attack that might be unappealing to China, that they'd use only in extreme situations, might be more palatable to Iran," he said.

Sleep, Gamble, Sleep: A Trip on the Late-Night Casino Bus
It was 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and a McDonald's employee poked out from behind the locked doors of the restaurant to shoo away loiterers on Bowery Street. "You can't stand here," she said. "Move to one of the sides."
But the lingering crowd had more distant destinations in mind. Some were bound for the Parx Casino in Philadelphia, others would spend the night gambling in Atlantic City. And a group of about 30 people were headed to Mohegan Sun — the same low-cost bus trip on which 15 passengers perished in an early morning crash Saturday.
Ridership on the Chinatown buses that journey to and from the region's casinos has been down since the crash. The 10:15 p.m. bus (which won't start rolling until 10:44) is about half full. Each passenger gets a pair of seats to himself.
There's some chatter — none of it in English — as the bus host walked through to collect everyone's $15 for the round-trip ride to the Mohegan Sun. It's an unwritten understanding that a small tip is expected for the driver on the return.
The lights went off about ten minutes into the journey, and almost immediately the sounds of arrhythmic snoring filled the air. Not one reading light is on, and while the mini-TVs hanging on each side are on, they show nothing but a dull black screen.
Saturday's grisly accident, followed by another Chinatown bus crash that killed two on Monday, generated a flurry of coverage and calls for increased regulation of the growing fleets of discount coaches. But the little-seen world of the overnight gamblers remains largely unknown. What brings dozens of people to weeknight buses that won't arrive at casinos until the small hours of the morning?
First, who's on the bus. It is not just old people, as is widely assumed.
The bus riders, outside of being almost entirely of Asian descent, presented a wide mix of people. The group included travelers in their 20s as well as a mix of men and women, even a few young couples. Some were well dressed while others gave the impression that they were here mostly to get some sleep, with a short casino interruption.
Once the bus pulled into the Mohegan Sun at around 1:15 a.m., a clearer picture of these travelers' incentives emerged. A casino host met the riders as they stepped off the bus and gave each person a $20 meal voucher and two $20 match-play vouchers. Some might be lured by gambling action, but it's clear that others are just as eager for a chance to enjoy what amounts to a free meal.
The outbound trip takes only two and a half hours, but the return voyage leaving at 5:30 a.m. lasts four hours in the morning rush — a total of six hours of somewhat uncomfortable sleep. Add it all up, and it's easy to see the appeal for some: pay $15 plus a few bucks for tip, get $20 worth of food and a $40 subsidy at the tables, then return in time for work the next day.
Dedicated gamblers can find games like Sic Bo, Pai Gow Tiles, and Mini Baccarat on the Internet. But the casino buses offer something more: a cheap escape from the city, a chance to be somewhere else for a night, temporary fellowship at the felt-covered tables, which have an abundance of open seats.
It's not for everyone, yet after one trip it seemed puzzling not that this subculture existed, but that more New Yorkers hadn't yet caught on to the night-gambling phenomenon.
After four hours in the Mohegan Sun, the group — along with some stragglers who missed or ignored their earlier departures — piled back onto the bus, parked in space number 16 just outside of the Sunrise Square, the casino's self-styled "Asian marketplace."
As the bus idled, two men in the back argued over whether it was now Tuesday or Wednesday, then got into a back-and-forth discussion on casino-bus regulars said to have died in Saturday's crash. The rumors abound. One Spanish-speaking man exchanged his ticket and went to Foxwoods instead. A Russian man they know survived the wreck.
In the middle of the banter, the lights went down as the bus moved. "Oh," muttered one of the gamblers. The duo fell instantly silent, observing the vehicle's sleep-friendly decorum, and the sound of snoring again echoed as the bus crawled out of the parking garage.

With the exhibitions Light & Noir: Exiles and Émigrés in Hollywood, 1933–1950 and The Noir Effect in full swing, noir is in the air here at the Skirball. Inspired by the seductive femme fatales of film noir, I've selected ten alluring items from our Light & Noir Holiday Pop-Up Shop that are perfect for the mysterious woman on your gift list. There's no need to go on a manhunt for a creative Hanukkah present or saucy stocking-stuffer this year. Skip the bedlam at the mall and slip into the boudoir at the pop-up shop for some of these sassy and clever gifts.
- The Perfect Red Lipstick
As the chaotic holidays approach, I heed this advice from Elizabeth Taylor: "Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together." Red lipstick (and perhaps a little gin!) really is the perfect pick-me-up. During WWII, cosmetics entrepreneur Elizabeth Arden encouraged women to wear red lips as a symbol of victory. (The beauty company even released a line of cosmetics for the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, which included the shade "Victory Red" to coordinate with their uniforms.) Personally, I look to locally-based Bésame Cosmetics for long-lasting, classically glamorous shades of red. One of my personal favorites is Red Velvet. Every Bésame product is re-created from popular vintage formulas and lovingly packaged in a retro style. Learn for yourself how to apply that perfect femme fatale look on Sunday, December 7, when Bésame Cosmetics founder Gabriela Hernandez gives a makeup talk and demo in conjunction with the exhibition Light & Noir: Exiles and Émigrés in Hollywood, 1933–1950.
- An Alluring Perfume
Perfumer Margot Elena created this irresistible "Femme Fatale" collection of fragrances, part of her TokyoMilk/DARK line. Each fragrance is stunningly packaged in matte-black bottles featuring charming lithograph illustrations for each scent. My favorite is "Everything & Nothing" No. 10, with its light hint of citrus. I'm also a fan of the coordinating hand creams.
- Compact Mirror
A slim, stylish compact mirror is a must for every glamour girl to ensure her makeup is always in place. I myself designed the pattern featured on this cute compact from LucyLu as a nod to the iconic film noir motif of striped shadows. The compact is accompanied by a protective silver leatherette pouch with a magnetic closure, which helps keep the outside of the mirror shiny and scratch-free. Continue reading

RIALTO, Calif. (AP) -- An autopsy has been completed on Rodney King, but the results won't be released for several weeks.
San Bernardino County sheriff's and coroner's spokeswoman Jodi Miller says King's autopsy was completed Monday. A cause of death will not be determined until after investigators have toxicology results, which typically take between four to six weeks.
King was pulled from the deep end of his pool in Rialto, Calif. early Sunday morning.
The 47-year-old became famous after he was severely beaten by Los Angeles police in 1991. The acquittal and mistrial of four officers tried with felony assault a year later sparked the Los Angeles riots.
Rialto police are investigating King's death as an apparent drowning and say they have found no signs of foul play.

Anti-gay Christian preacher wins £4,000 compensation for arrest
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Excellent news!! Justice has eventually prevailed!
Free speech works both ways, I guess.
As long as the blasphemy laws are lifted.
The police didn't handle this case well but aside from that it is unciviland entirely insensitive to harrass gay people continually as these nuisance and often mentally unbalanced street preachers can do.
If someone stood in the street and shouted racist comments I'm sure they'd be arrested too. Standing in the street abusing people isn't freedom of speech it's harrassment. Obviously another person who needs help in understanding that pointing the finger at others for their supposed 'sins' does nothing to sort out their OWN problems and, indeed, only draws attention to them.
Well Christianist street preachers telling homosexuals they are effeminate abominations who will take their place in the fiery lake for all eternity is not so different to
some Muslim religious schools operating in Britain that are using poisonously anti-Semitic textbooks from Saudi Arabia to teach children as young as six that Jews are descended from "monkeys" and "pigs," and that Zionists are plotting to take over the world.
I think it was the over-the-top reaction of the police in arresting and handcuffing this man that was compensated. We should all guard against the police using disproportionate powers against individuals.
"If someone stood in the street and shouted racist comments I'm sure they'd be arrested too."
Or checked for mental health issue to see of they are a danger to themselves and others.
Oh, and "Sottom", get off that cross, the splinters will cause you skin irritation….
How do we know the judge was not a religionist and already had a biased view?
I guess instead of calling the police now, we should build a fire around to hate preacher and burn the bugger.
Maybe I should get some leaflets and a megaphone and stand outside my local house of bigotry (sorry Free Presbyterian Church) and shout about the delusions and mental abherations of the crackpot religionists inside.
Wonder how quick I would be carted off ?
The arrest was ill-advised and an assault on free expression. Unless these lunatics actively incite violence they should be left alone. Public ridicule is much more effective. A few years ago a group of Christian fundamentalists gathered in a small market town near where I live and started yelling the usual homophobic drivel. Ordinary shoppers heckled and booed them. That's the way to do it!
No compensation should have been paid. He has been rewarded for homophobia. It is double standards; would he have been paid £4k for screaming racist abuse in the streets?
As Rev Jesse say we are now offically Second Class Citizens! – Time to form the Gay 'Panthers' a violent wing of gay rights – real gay men and women who Have had enough of this CRAP – Time to start burning these f#*king Bigoted religious sub humans!!
JohnD, you don't like the truth about your kind being said publicly, do you? Bigiot!
ooops, typo. I meant bigot. Yeah, bigot incarnate!
"ooops, typo. I meant bigot. Yeah, bigot incarnate!"
Did you make a mistake typing that because the hospital orderly was approaching and scared you? It must be close to lights out anyway, don't want your feverish religious rants upsetting the other patents, do we?
I'm really worried about a lot of people on here. Most of you are siding with this horrid guy.
The police were right to arrest him it wasn't free speech, he was walking about shouting abuse at people trying to bring misery to peoples lives. As others said if they said black people were going to burn it wouldn't be allowed so why gay people?
I hate how Christians shout victim tho they are discriminating others. I really wish religion wasn't such a big issue in our society so they cant get away with this behaviour.
This man should not have been arrested. Arresting him just allowed him to feel that he was a martyr for "truth". Freedom of speech does include freedom to talk the most appalling and pernicious trash. The way to deal with people like him is to laugh them to scorn.
…..not happy…why 4k and not 3 months for hate speech? Deserves a good bitch slap if you ask me!
It isn't hate speech… It's fantasy fiction. As long as he didn't incite hatred or hostility, then he is entitled to his opinion, no matter how Lord Of The Rings it may be. I don't understand why the police never seem to have the same enthusiasm to arrest all these insane Muslims and their anti gay and anti Europe hate banners that call for the murder of everyone in the west.
It is hate speech, people. And he should have been punished for it. Laws against being abusive trump "freedom of speech", and so they should.
While I do like the idea of ignoring and ridiculing these people, it's not going to work. When racism was finally condemned as a taboo, how did that come around? I think you'll find it was down to aggressive laws aimed at clamping down on racism, brought about through the protests and campaigns of those affected.
If what racial minorities did isn't considered fascism – if clamping down on the racists wasn't considered an affront to human rights – then why in the hell is it considered that when sexual minorities attempt the same bloody thing?
Either laws against racism should be repealed, or homophobes should start getting the same treatment as racists.
"Åke Green born 3 June 1941, is a Swedish Pentecostal Christian pastor who was prosecuted, but acquitted, under Sweden's law against hate speech because of critical opinions on homosexuality in his sermons. The district court found him guilty and sentenced him to one month in prison. The sentence was appealed to the court of appeals (hovrätt). On 11 February 2005 Göta hovrätt overturned the decision and acquitted Åke Green. On 9 March, the Prosecutor-General (Riksåklagaren) appealed this decision to the Supreme Court, which on 29 November also acquitted him.
The Supreme Court stated that Åke Green had violated Swedish law as it currently stands, but a conviction based on Bible quotations would contravene international conventions.[1] This kind of restriction is accepted under article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights that states that….."
Can't win it seems!!
Good. Now we need a racist preacher to be awarded compensation as well. The Cameron days are just beginning, and they promise to be even better than Thatchers.
But wasn't it the last govt that brought in the law "against inciting hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation" while keeping the 'freedom of expression' section?
It is unhelpful to look at legal issues as a matter of politics.
The law allows the police to arrest a person only in specific, specified and limited circumstances. It allows the police to handcuff someone, again, only in specific, specified and limited circumstances. A person may be detained only in specific, specified and limited circumstances.
If the arrest, handcuffing and detention do not satisfy these legal requirements, then the action is unlawful. If the action is unlawful, the person who was arrested, handcuffed and/or detained has the right to compensation.
This is not a reward for the original behaviour that led to the unlawful arrest, handcuffing and/or detention. It is the damages that are payable for the unlawful infringement of one's right not to be arrested, handcuffed and/or detained other than in accordance with law.
Not happy about the compo, but he has got a criminal conviction and was bound over to keep the peace! So presumably he can't street preach homo-hate again?
> but he has got a criminal conviction and was bound over to keep the peace!
I am not sure about that. Being bound over is not a criminal conviction. From what I understand, there was no actual conviction of any criminal matter.
Thank you for that link about Åke Green, John. Interesting.
I don't think religious beliefs should be specially protected any more than any other belief. If saying something homophobic/racist is against the law, 'it's my religious belief' shouldn't be a get-out clause. I'm sure some racists hold equally strong non-religious beliefs, but we don't allow them to persecute others. There's nothing special about religion that should require any special treatment, in my opinion.

If we harrassed religious nutters on the street and said derogatory things as they say about us, you can bet we'd be arrested. Nobody should have a free pass and get away with it. Nobody is above the law including religious wackos and clerics in all religious cults. After all, theirs is a chosen "lifestyle" whereas ours is not a lifestyle. Why should the law protect lifestyles? Nobody comes into this world religious let alone born that way. Its learned, often aberrant behaviour in many of them.
I am bisexual transgender and im glad this man was paid damages. Free speech is free speech and democracy is democracy is democracy as long as this man shouts and rants and raves and dose no harm by his actually actions then just walk on by and let him say it. Only those who are violent in the first place would listen and anything could trigger them into violence. Free speech should not suffer but it works both ways the LGBT should be able to hold a preaching outside a church without prosecution.
Thought police stay away from my precious democracy thank you.
Just for the record though, the guy who got arrested talks rubbish but I defend his right to speak it because once you prohibit one form of speech you move on to others trust me if it become politically expedient to ban gay people from promoting gay rights this paper would be shut in two seconds flat.
Don't take his words to heart just pity the man and being a LGBT Christian myself I would say pray for him.
I really don't understand why he is called a Christian nor why Pink Paper put the cross as an image on this article. Christ never once condemed us and only exhorted love without condemnation or judgement. He dies for that ideal. Sounds nothing like this guy.
Absolute rubbish. It's nothing more than a homophobic judge's opinion. There is no such thing as freedom of speech, just different levels of controlled speech. There are many things we are not 'free' to say.
This man was trying to get others to hate an innocent group, that's hate speech.
The fundamentalist, that was rightly arrested when he refused to move on and stop shouting hate speech, has no right to spew his own spiteful, hateful lies on the street.
"Don't take his words to heart just pity the man and being a LGBT Christian myself I would say pray for him."
While I agree with the sentiment, not everyone prays my dear, or believes in a god that needs to read our thoughts for this own self validation.
Nothing like being rewarded for spewing his hatred. Just proves that Christians are special cases. Had he spewed racist drivel, he would likely have received nothing.
Another hater has now had a court declare that he was "persecuted"…nothing could be further from the truth.
This whole case was a mystery to me, I couldn't really understand why he wasn't charged with anything at all – eg harassment and I couldn't really work out what the damages were for – I hate to say it but this article from Christian Today is more informative than this PN article, at least you can piece together what happened better and what the actual charge was ie " Section 5 of the Public Order Act makes it an offence to use "threatening, abusive or insulting" words or behaviour in a way that could alarm or distress another person" – the charge was dropped for some reason???
One piece of interest in the article was this sentence
"The Christian Institute is calling upon the Government to repeal the word "insulting" from Section 5 of the Public Order Act when the Freedom Bill passes through Parliament in the coming months.
Writing on the ConservativeHome website this week, Mr Judge said removing "insulting" from the law would not interfere with the police's ability to deal with genuine public disorder
"Free speech is a bedrock principle of any true democracy. That freedom is worthless unless it encompasses the dissenting opinion, the awkward belief, the uncomfortable truth," he said.
"This freedom doesn't just protect the speaker. It ensures that you, I and everyone has the freedom to hear, the freedom to listen, the freedom to weigh up competing ideas for ourselves.
"If anyone feels insulted and distressed by that, sorry but that's the price of living in a free society."
— If the word insulting gets removed then surely they could be as offensive and insulting as they want to gays !
Sottom, take care to check out the Hot Boys! section while you're here (we know you will)! Happy browsing (don't forget to self-flagellate afterwards!)
Yes, everyone should have the right to say anything that's free speech, but they must take responsibility for those words.
The Bible is a complex esoteric text which has several layers of meaning. What this man, and most other Christians, have done is ignore the cultural and historical context in which the Bible was compiled into the book we know today. The Bible and other spiritual texts have been used to justify insidious prejudices and ungodly acts of cruelty in this way for many centuries because of the human egos need for power, control and a drive to think that one is better than others, to feel superior, to judge and condemn and be 'right' by making others wrong. This mentality, which is not unique to religion, is being challenged in many ways in these days and times and this is one instance of that. Although this seems like a loss and a step backwards for spiritual evolution people will talk about this and they will start to question and think about the issues involved once again. Its a yet another wake up call….are you awake yet, are you listening, or are you still sleeping? Its time to get up and answer the call to be the change you want to see in the world, its time to speak up and make yourself heard, to be the voice of love over hate. If not you, then who? And if not now, then when?
By the way NO the street preacher has not got a criminal record for this, he was not bound over to keep the peace, he vows to be back on new street next tuesday, I SAY keep preaching brother IT'S THE T R U T H . AMEN.
Sweet jaysus, that was THAT?
I'm actually having difficulty reading what Broher Tony wrote – another brutal lesson in the importance of proper punctuation, alas.
Tony, er, Amen, and all that crap, but do try this:- there's a little button to the left of that thing you're smashing you face off (its called a keyboard), and its labelled "CAPS LOCK". Go on, press it once. Now a little light will go out. Don't get frightened! Its not the devils work, or demons stealing the light of god, or anything like that. Then try that second last comment again, but use your fingers, not your fists to type.
I'm sorry, but this man was is not preaching love. But I'm all for letting him preach is that gets him off, and you can preach what you want, but the reality is that standing on a street corner shouting "fire and brimstone" and homophobic abuse at passers by is most likely indicative that this man is in need some kind of medical attention, not a jail cell. You sound like you're not a million miles away from that doctors counselling session yourself Tony.

What's the best way to deal with kind of incident? Arrest people for what they say, and risk creating a police state, or challenge opinions like his within society by encouraging better education, awareness, and inclusion like we have for ethnic minorities over the past decades? The only way we can move on in this case is for a mans words to be judged by his peers, not by the state. You could also say, that by arresting him, the police would only be encouraging him to carry on with the attitude of "the state/government/whoever is trying to silence me" If his peers reject his opinions and shun him an outcast, wouldn't this be more effective in keeping him quiet?
In reply to "if the the peer group challenge or come against this preacher man" he only gets stronger i've seen and heard him. he has said before "I WILL SPEAK THE TRUTH REGARDLESS THE TRUTH M U S T BE HEARD".
£4,000 will hire him quite a few rent boys….and you know he does!
4,000 will be able for him to go around preaching and spreading his gospel truth message in even more towns and cities now,amen, keep up the preaching brother it's the T R U T H , you people need to heed the warning and R E P E N T of your evil wicked sins, god's day of JUDGMENT is fast coming. AMEN.
by the way (jesus is the only way), homosexuality is S I N according to the bible jude ch 1 v 7 and in many more places, god never said I will change my word (the bible), you will be held accountable on the day of judgment for changing his word, REPENT or pay the price in the torment of the fire of HELL.
I see in the news yet another street preacher wins compo to the tune of 7,000 good on them keep preaching the truth, heed the warning what you are doing goes against god's word. REPENT.
2 Timothy ch 3 v 9 you are men of DEPRAVED MINDS never coming to a knowledge of the TURTH.

Construction begins on Fairview and Rollins roads
Crews will add a miniature roundabout and sidewalks
POSTED: 06:09 PM CDT Jun 24, 2013 UPDATED: 06:10 PM CDT Jun 24, 2013
Construction started Monday on a west Columbia road project.
Crews will build a mini roundabout at the intersection of Fairview Road and Rollins Road to get rid of the four-way stop. Sidewalks will also be constructed in the area.
Columbia Public Works expects the entire project to be finished in 30 to 45 days.
During construction, Rollins Road will be closed from July 8-19 east of Fairview and from July 22 to August 2 west of Fairview.
The project, which has been planned since 2005, is paid for through a combination of capital improvement project funding and Get About Columbia money.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I acted as a consultant for this company for over a year to promote their gift card product and gain inroads within the telecommunications industry. I traveled on their behalf, marketed their product, developed power points for presentations, and drafted and sent countless emails within the industry. I was promised a commission per gift card sold with commission to be paid upon contract execution. I've come to discover that a contract was executed for 1,000 gift cards where I initiated, maintained and helped to finalize the agreement. Once discovering this I contacted GoalGetters, Inc. and was informed they had planned on contacting me, but commission would now be slightly more than a third per card as compared to original commission agreed upon. Further, it was the customer who informed me of an executed deal, not GoalGetters, inc. I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this matter with GoalGetters, inc. over the last 5 months and am now not receiving any replies, nor have I received a single penny in commission!!

Dallas Crime Watch: Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011
A sampling of crime, courts and public safety news in and around Dallas:
• In an unexpected last-minute intervention, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday halted the execution of a black Houston man, Duane Edward Buck, after attorneys argued his race might have been a factor in sending him to death row. Lawyers say Buck's case was tainted by trial testimony from a psychologist who said he was more likely to commit a future crime because of his race.
• Attorneys for both sides in the contentious lawsuit against the Episcopal School of Dallas delivered impassioned closing arguments Thursday, winding up eight weeks of testimony. The parents of a former student are seeking millions of dollars from the school for failing to protect their daughter from a sexual relationship with a teacher and then forcing her to leave the school after the relationship was discovered. Jurors are deliberating today.
• A police officer and two others were shot Thursday morning during a confrontation with a suicidal man at a Denton County home. The gunman, Brodie Stewart, of Justin, was also shot and died on his way to a hospital.
• A 38-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison in a shoplifting case that ended in the death of a Walmart employee.
• Nat Alan Pinkston, the FBI agent who linked Lee Harvey Oswald to the rifle used to kill President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, died of natural causes at Crescent Point retirement center in Cedar Hill. He was 95.

New Congress takes seats
WASHINGTON — A new Congress opened for business Thursday to confront long-festering national problems, deficits and immigration among them, in an intensely partisan and crisis-driven era of divided government. "The American dream is in peril," said House Speaker John Boehner, re-elected to his post despite a minirevolt in Republican ranks.
Moments after grasping an oversized gavel that symbolizes his authority, Boehner implored the assembly of newcomers and veterans in the 113th Congress to tackle the nation's heavy burden of debt at long last. "We have to be willing — truly willing — to make this right," he said.
Also on the two-year agenda is the first significant effort at an overhaul of the tax code in more than a quarter-century. Republicans and Democrats alike say they want to chop at a thicket of existing tax breaks and use the resulting revenue to reduce rates.
Day of triumphs
There were personal milestones aplenty as the winners of last fall's races swore an oath of office as old as the republic.
Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Deb Fischer of Nebraska were among the newcomers sworn in, raising the number of women in the Senate to a record 20. Tim Scott of South Carolina became the first black Republican in the Senate in more than three decades.
On the first day of a new term, one veteran made a stirring comeback. Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois returned to the Capitol for the first time since suffering a stroke a year ago, walking slowly up the 45 steps to the Capitol with the use of a cane. "Good to see you, guys," he said.
Across the Capitol, children and grandchildren squirmed through opening formalities that ended with Boehner's election as the most powerful Republican in a government where President Barack Obama will soon be sworn in to a second term and his fellow Democrats control the Senate.
"At $16 trillion and rising, our national debt is draining free enterprise and weakening the ship of state," said Boehner, of Ohio, whose struggles to control his members persisted to the final weekend of the 112th Congress when "fiscal cliff" legislation finally cleared. "The American dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt. Break its hold and we will begin to set our economy free. Jobs will come home. Confidence will come back."
Spending battles ahead
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he, too, is ready for attempts to rein in federal spending, but laid down a few conditions: "Any future budget agreements must balance the need for thoughtful spending reductions with revenue from the wealthiest among us and closing wasteful tax loopholes," he said.
That was in keeping with Obama's remarks after Congress had agreed on fiscal cliff legislation to raise taxes for the wealthy while keeping them level for the middle class.
Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell have other ideas, both having said in recent days that the days of raising taxes are over.
"Now is the time to get serious about spending," McConnell said.
"And if the past few weeks have taught us anything, that means the president needs to show up early this time." People won't "tolerate the kind of last-minute crises that we've seen again and again over the past four years as a result of this president's chronic inactivity and refusal to lead on the pressing issues of the day."
Fact Box
New face
WASHINGTON — Politically, the 213th Congress that was sworn in Thursday won't be much of a change from the less-than-stellar 212th Congress it replaces. Democrats picked up a few seats in the House and Senate, but the balance of power is unchanged, with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats holding a majority in the Senate. Yet a closer look finds that Congress is undergoing some of the changes that have altered the face of America in general, with women and minorities playing increasingly more prominent roles.
THE NUMBERS: The House has 233 Republicans and 200 Democrats. Each party should pick up one more seat when two vacancies are filled. Going into the election, the GOP edge was 242-193. Senate Democrats will have a caucus of 55, including two independents, Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Republicans have 45. That's a pickup of two seats for Democrats.
WOMEN: The House will have 79 women, including 60 Democrats. At the end of the last session, there were 50 Democratic women and 24 Republican women. The new Senate will have 20 female members, an increase of three. That consists of 16 Democrats and four Republicans. The last Senate had 12 Democratic women and five Republicans.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS: The House will have 40 African-Americans, all Democrats. The number of Democrats is unchanged, although two Republicans will be gone: Allen West, R-Fla., lost his re-election bid, and Tim Scott, R-S.C., was appointed to fill the Senate seat of Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who is retiring. Scott will be the first black lawmaker in the Senate since Roland Burris, who retired in 2010 after filling Barack Obama's Illinois Senate seat.
HISPANICS: The new House will have 33 Hispanics, with 25 Democrats and eight Republicans. That's up slightly from last year. The Senate will have three Hispanics: Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Republican Marco Rubio of Florida and Republican freshman Ted Cruz of Texas.

Step One
Learn to multitask. Everyone likes to take a minute to stand still and enjoy their shower, but learning to multitask in the shower can help you save both time and money. Keep your toothbrush and toothpaste close at hand so you can brush your teeth in the shower or while waiting for the water to heat up. Use the few minutes that you have conditioner in your hair to shave or exfoliate.
Step Two
Turn it off. There is a lot of time spent in the shower when the water doesn't really need to be running, at least not at full pressure. Turn off the water or decrease the water pressure when you're doing things like shaving or exfoliating your feet and turn it back on when you need to rinse off. This tip can save you a considerable amount on your water bills.
Step Three
Use runoff water elsewhere. Depending on the age of your water heater, it probably takes a few minutes for the water in your shower to heat up. Running the water just to heat it up, however, can waste gallons of water every day. Keep a bucket in your bathroom to catch this runoff while you're waiting for the water to get to the right temperature. This excess water can be used to water houseplants, given to the family dog or cat or even put in your tea kettle for your morning cup of Earl Grey.
Step Four
Time yourself. It's easy to lose track of time in the shower and forget that water is being wasted while you're luxuriating. Keep a timer with an alarm in the bathroom and set it for no longer than 10 minutes when you get in the shower. You'll be surprised how quickly you become accustomed to getting all of your showering necessities taken care of within the allotted amount of time before the alarm goes off. Shortening your usual 20-minute shower down to 10 minutes or less means you're using half the water and that will add up to a much nicer water bill too!

|Structural Analysis of Impact Damage to World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2, and 7
|August 12, 2012
|The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted an extensive investigation of the collapse of World Trade Center towers (WTC 1 and WTC 2) and the WTC 7 building. This paper describes the reconstruction of impact damage to each of the WTC buildings, as well as analytical studies related to the WTC building collapses. In addition, data and evidence that were collected, tests of the floor truss systems in the WTC towers that were conducted, the overall structural analysis approach, and the development of the collapse hypotheses are discussed to provide a basis for the impact analyses and the fire and structural response analyses in a companion paper. Three companion papers address the primary structural systems of the WTC towers and WTC 7, the effects of fire on the three buildings, and how these events contributed to building collapse. The papers provide an overview of the complex and extensive investigations undertaken by NIST at a level of detail that has scientific merit but presents key aspects from the voluminous official reports at a level suitable for the technical literature.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
OptionAgents Is Definitely Not A Scam
AUTHOR: Keith - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012
Let me take his assertions one by one
Assertion 1: You are directed to a website optionagents.com to watch a presentation given by Keith who misleads you into thinking you are going to parter up to sell FSBO properties within days and make thousands of dollars.
Rebuttal: If you view the video you will see for yourself that all that I do is indicate that our
members are sometimes in need of people to show our homes, and by partnering with them you could earn generous compensation. This is 100% true, so Im not sure what else can be said in our defense.
Assertion 2: You are then directed at the end of the presentation to a section that shows this is a membership where you actually have to pay 10.00 per month.
Rebuttal: The main video itself tells the viewer our members so no sleight of hand there. Also, the redirect page after the video gives a FREE 3 day membership with no need for a credit card or anything else. Not sure where the crime is there.
Assertion 3: You are also told NOT to contact Keith about this offer. In responding to thier "Job" Posting and asking for them to show proof of any real estate deals done in the past 3 months, you are then told they are not agents. In the
website it says they are a nationwide network of agents, investors and stay at home Mom's and Dad's. This is not a job or even biz opportunity offer, its a scam to lure in people across the country to give up 10.00 per mont based on deception.
Rebuttal: I am a realtor, not a full time educator. I could not possibly offer my time for less than $10 per month per client. I would literally jeopardize my familys financial security to do that. I questioned whether to make this available to
folks because I did not want to charge much and it could be a big distraction for me. So, I decided to offer it for
just $10 per month (with a free 3 day trial so nobody could possibly get duped by the way) and let folks know up front that there is no customer service with regard to the training, just technical support if needed. Its the only way I could afford to do this. And you know what, most people were great with it and even though people got a free trial they voluntarily
signed up afterwards anyway. Clearly they saw the value. I give full disclosure before the sale and hide nothing so it bothers me a great deal that somebody who does not like this would distort the truth so much.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Providing a discrete alternative to smoking a giant spliff, using a one hitter is generally the method of approach utilized by secret smokers and sketchy types. That being said, we had a hard time finding where to load
your stash on this boot. We did find features like nifty micro-adjusting Velcro do-whippy's complimenting the standard lacing system for on the fly fine-tuning, as well as a similar cuff regulator. We found that for an urban/ park boot these were some of the most comfortable on the scene, providing an
easy, even flex that was both tweakable and supportive. Besides that, there are some fairly simple components like cushy EVA heel inserts and an integrated internal lacing system that get the job done with proven, effective means.
Pretty Much
Mellow parks laps, pre-rollers.
Not So Much
Hardpack slashing, uptight cops.

London borough warns against planning changes

London borough warns against planning changes
Wandsworth Council is calling on the Government to step back from plans to double the size of house extensions people can build without planning permission for a three year period.
The Department for Communities and Local Government has now launched a consultation on the proposals which have sparked new concerns from councillors and borough residents.
Under the new system, terrace and semi-detached houses would be allowed single storey extensions of up to six metres in depth. Detached houses would be allowed up to eight metres.
The existing 'permitted development' rules limit extensions at three and four metres respectively. Any larger and planning permission is required.
'Protected areas', including conservation areas, would not be affected by the changes.
The consultation also asks for feedback on increasing the size limits for extensions to shop and professional/financial services establishments and removing some prior approval requirements for the installation of broadband infrastructure for a period of five years.
Leader of Wandsworth Council Ravi Govindia said: "In many cases a six to eight metre home extension would have a serious impact on neighbouring properties and should not be permitted. We're also concerned that loosening planning rules on offices, garages, shops and industrial units could result in unsightly developments which seriously blight adjacent buildings.
"It is unclear how much of a boost the economy will get from these proposals but it is bound to come at a high price. Our fear is that the legacy of scared streets and neighbour disputes will outweigh any benefits.
"This council has a responsive, efficient planning service which acts as a barrier to poor quality development. It serves a very important purpose and we do not want to see its influence diminished.
"Under the Coalition great progress has been made in cutting red tape and creating a more dynamic, locally controlled planning system. Our fear is that this initiative will do more harm than good."

Skill Level Beginner
When you're shooting in public, you take the risk that passersby can walk through your scene. If that happens to you, one thing you can do is stay in the same location and keep the same exposure settings and shoot a few more frames. You may be able to use multiple frames to remove the passersby using the special Photomerge Scene Cleaner feature, which you can access here in the Expert edit workspace. Here, I have a couple of shots taken from the same vantage point, both of which are down here in my Photo Bin in the Expert Edit Workspace. If your Photo Bin isn't showing just click the Photo Bin button in the Taskbar.
So, here is one of the photos, I'll double click the other thumbnail, and here's a second. In both, this woman in red is walking through the scene, and I'd like to remove her. As long as I have at least two photos to work with, that's a possibility. I'd have even more chance of removing her from the scene if I had more frames. But we'll go ahead with these two frames, selecting them both in the Photo Bin by holding the Shift key and clicking on the second photo. Then I'll open them both into the Scene Cleaner workspace by going up to the Enhance Menu, and down to Photomerge, and over to Photomerge Scene Cleaner.
That opens this Photo Merge Scene Cleaner window. Down at the bottom of this window there's a Photo Bin with a thumbnail for each open image. And over on the right are some instructions and tools for using this feature. The first thing that I'll do here is select which photo I'm going to place in the final window on the right side of the workspace. I'll select the photo that looks more like the one that I want in the end. To see each photo, I'll click on its thumbnail down in the Photo Bin. So first I'll click on the thumbnail with the yellow border, and that appears here at the Source area.
So that's one option. Now let's take anther look at the photo whose thumbnail has a blue border by clicking that thumbnail, and there is the second option. I think this one makes a better candidate for my final image. So I need to put it into the Final window over here on the right. To do that, I'll click on the thumbnail with the blue border down in the Photo Bin. I'll keep my Mouse held down. And I'll drag all the way over into the Final window, and release my Mouse. Now, I want to set up my source photo, the photo from which I'm going to sample pixels to fix the photo on the right.
Since I only have two photos, that's going to be the photo with the yellow border. To get that photo into the Source field, I won't click and drag, I'll just click once on the thumbnail with the yellow border. So now I have a final image to work on, and I have a source image from which to sample some pixels. To sample pixels from the source image, you can follow the instructions that are here in the column in the right. But, in this case, I'm going to diverge from those instructions a little bit. I'm going to get the Pencil Tool, as it says to do here, by clicking on it in the column on the right.
And I'm going to leave the Size set relatively small, so I've the most control over what the pencil does. Now, here is where I diverge from the instructions. I'm going to use the Pencil Tool first over here in the final image. I'm going to click and drag over this woman, and release my Mouse. And doing that has identified the part of the final scene that I want to eliminate. The way that Elements is doing that is by sampling pixels from the source image on the left in the very same location as my Pencil Tool stroke in the image on the right. And the yellow stroke in both images is evidence of that.
So, that's a good start. But, if you look closely, you'll notice that the woman's feet are still here on the pavement. So, I have a couple of choices. I could start again either by clicking the Reset button up here or by getting the Eraser Tool, dragging it to the size I want, I'll leave it small, and then erasing all or part of the yellow line. Erasing part of that line has brought back the bottom part of her legs. Or I don't even have to erase. If I just want to add to the area that's being eliminated, I'll get the Pencil Tool, and I'll continue to draw that yellow line, this time including her feet, specifically.
Notice that when I move my cursor out of the final window that the stroke goes away, so that I can see the resulting composite. But, when I move my Mouse back into that image, I get the yellow stroke again. If that's getting in the way, I can always come over to the column on the right and uncheck Show Strokes. And now, no matter where I am, I don't see the yellow strokes in the images. There is another checkbox here to Show Regions. I'm going to check that for just a moment, to give you a better idea of what Elements has done to make this composite image without the passerby. The yellow region in the final image indicates the area that Elements is using or sampling from the source image on the left.
And the blue region indicates the area that it's using from the final image. I'm going to uncheck Show Regions again. Now, I'm pretty happy with that result. But, I do see a little bit of a dark area in the street. I may be able to fix that by using one of the Advanced Options, which you can access by clicking the arrow to the right of Advanced Options in a column on the right and then scrolling down. And that is the Pixel Blending Option. Keep your eye on the street here as I check Pixel Blending. And I think that's done a better job of blending the pixels from these two images together.
If you're still having trouble getting a good result, sometimes it can help to use the Alignment Tool in order to better align the two images by content, so that they blend better together. But in this case, I like the result that I have. So, I'm just going to click Done to close the Scene Cleaner dialog box, and go back to the Expert edit workspace. Now if you look in the Photo Bin, you'll see thumbnails of the two original images, each of which has the lady in red, and the final image, the selected image up here in the document window, in which I think the Scene Cleaner has done a pretty convincing job of eliminating that passerby.

The Downtown Optimist Club held its annual Pancake Jubilee Tuesday. It's not about eating or even cooking. The 13-hour event is about kids.
The money made from the event goes to area children's activities like the Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts, and Salvation Army. It also goes toward scholarships.
"The reason we do this is for the kids, the bottom line," said Paul Tarver. "Optimist Club's motto is 'Friend of Youth.' As 'Friend of Youth' we need to be in a position to try to help them with whatever projects they want to do."
Those flipping and serving the pancakes are all volunteers just lending a hand.
"I'm just helping out the community," said David Sharp, who is Lauderdale County's emergency management director. "Optimist Club sponsors a lot of programs for the youth. I just always try to do something else for the community."
And that's the idea everyone seems to have. Well, that and the pancakes.
The pancakes were served with sausage for $5.00 a person.
"It's a huge job. It's a huge undertaking. Nobody knows how much work goes on behind the scenes. Okay, it's a lot of work, but it's not quite that big," joked Tarver. "You have to prepare a lot of stuff. You have to prepare for deliveries. You have to sell tickets. We try to pre-sell a lot of tickets, so a lot of effort goes into the pre-sales. And in the organizational side of this, if we organize everything correctly and we have the man power here everything goes smooth on today."

Scotland Yard has doubled the number of leak inquiries it conducts as it tries to control the flow of information to the media.
Two press leak investigations are mounted every month, on average, by the Metropolitan Police's anti-corruption unit.
The force disclosed under Freedom of Information legislation that there had been 43 preliminary or full investigations into leaks to the press from July 2010 to March 2012. By contrast, during the three years when Lord Blair of Boughton was the Commissioner there were only 26 leak inquiries, fewer than one a month.
Lord Blair told the Leveson Inquiry last month

This is in line with my research on the subject matter. Good post.To formulate this response in a responsible manner, I augmented my on-board knowledge with information from Medscape and Physicians Online. Both are credible medical resources used by practitioners.
Pit Vipers (Crotalidae) have a combination of necrotoxic and hemolytic effects from their venom. Massive protein breakdown and coagulopathy (Hemorrhage d/t destruction of clotting factors) are the biggest complications of envenomation. Cold therapy is acknowledged, but poorly understood and mildly helpful, if at all. Use of tourniquets is contraindicated as it confines the toxins to the extremity involved and leads to tissue necrosis and compartment syndrome which become systemic once the tourniquet is released, as opposed to allowing it to distribute slowly throughout a patient's vascular system while lying quietly.
Splint the extremity and place a lymphatic constricting band in the field no tighter than a watch band or socks. Maintain the extremity at, or slightly below the level of the heart. The constricting band helps to preserve the liver (as lymphatic drainage returns directly to the liver for filtration via the hepatic portal system) prior to administration of CroFab, antivenin that has fewer systemic effects than the traditional protein derived Antivenin Crotalidae Polyvalent. Most experts recommend that CroFab or traditional antivenin be administered even to dry bite victims prophylactically rather than waiting for signs of envenomation to emerge.
NOWHERE is Adrenalin indicated without presentation of anaphylactic shock. History of prior anaphylaxis (Best indicator) Difficulty breathing, Wheezes, Edema (Swelling) of the tongue and lips (Best indicator of what's happening in the airway, known as angioedema) and itching and hives (Can be present with minor to moderate allergy without respiratory involvement). Un-necessarily taxing the cardiovascular system of a victim of pit envenomation is asking for problems and is not indicated as routine therapy, or for minor allergic reactions without evidence of respiratory distress.
This is a situation in which it is particularly smart to have GPS locaters, Cell/Sat. phones, etc.. It is also a good reason to mobilize air evacuation if there is terrain, or the location is remote. If you're going to be in an area frequented by snakes especially pit vipers, you need to have a plan.
Other venomous critters in the States include the Bark Scorpion (indigenous to AZ and the only place you can get the antivenin), Coral Snake - "Red touch yellow, kill a fellow, Red touch black venom lack." (vs, Corn snake). Brown recluse spiders have necrotoxin, Black widows have Neurotoxin which hurts like 10 mofos - Treat with Valium emergently. The Recluse will take days of tissue sloughing from an initial pimple-looking bite to a wound large enough to cause concern (Usually nickel to quarter size crater of dead, sloughed out flesh, creating a pit in the skin. Tissue can continue to slough to bone in some cases, necessitating amputation. The same can happen with Necrotizing Fasciitis, primarily served up by Group A Staphylococcus Aureus, which is also known as "Normal Skin Flora".

After taking an official visit to Wake Forest this weekend, DL Zeek Rodney of South Pointe committed to the Deacons. Rodney chose Wake Forest over Charlotte, Marshall and Syracuse. "Wake Forest is close to home so my family can come see me play," he said. "It's a good school academically and it's in the ACC." Rodney is firm with his commitment and says he will not take any other visits. The trip was a good trip for him. "I got to talk to a lot of the other guys that are committed," Rodney said. "I liked those guys. There is also an opportunity to play early there."Tweet
