SIKESTON -- As the Sikeston Bulldog football team walked off the field after a 27-26 loss to Farmington on Oct. 30, there weren't many smiles. But after reflection, the Bulldogs season shows how the program is heading in the right direction after several years of disappointing seasons.
Kent Gibbs, who just completed his second season at the helm of the Bulldogs, feels his team's 5-5 performance in 2008 is a big step in the right direction.

The Bulldogs did many things well this year. They out-gained opponents offensively 3,602 to 3,378 yards. They committed only 14 turnovers to their opponents 19. They also gained 11 more first downs than their opponents and had a third down conversion rate of 40.7 percent. They were also 99 yards less penalized than their competition as well.
Gibbs feels that steady improvement from week to week was one of the biggest keys to the improvement from last year.
"The biggest one (key to success), which sounds like 'coach talk' because it is, is that I felt we get better as the season went along," he said. "Last year, we were not able to do that. This year I honestly feel like we got better every game."
Gibbs also cited hard work and concentration on the practice field.
"Before the season was over, we had a couple weeks of really good practice," he said. "I'm hoping that means we have learned how to practice and how to do it four days a week, not one or two, and that we have learned how to take care of our business. I'm a firm believer that you are only going to be as good as you practice. One of the positives out of this year is that for sure."
Gibbs pointed to defense as an area that has come a long way, but needs continued improvement.
"We were better on defense than last year, much better," he said. "But to get to the point where we want to be defensively, where we are slowing down the points being scored, we have to improve on defense what we have do with that is continue to build strength in the weight room and continue playing physical and aggressive."
Gibbs said much of the offseason emphasis for both sides of the ball will be on strength training and conditioning.
"I feel our biggest concentration as a team definitely has to be in the weight room because we are really behind in that regard," he said. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at the size of some of the kids we play to see that is something we really need to work on. When you talk 'X's and O's' we want to get better defensively and expand what we already do well offensively."
Gibbs plans to get a fast start to his team's offseason training and team building.
"We will start our offseason conditioning and lifting on Nov. 17," he said. "We will go two days a week until Christmas, after that we will go three days a week with our voluntary workouts. What we hope to achieve is to get as many kids as we can to get committed to making themselves better.
"We will also have a lot of team building exercises like we did last year. I think it will be a good chance for us to grow closer as a team."
Gibbs feels that his players positive attitudes and willingness to learn were major difference makers as well.
"Overall, we (the coaches) felt like our kids listened to what we had to say," he said. "They at least made an attempt to do what we wanted them to do. We still need to work on getting full output on those attempts, not a negative thing, just something we need to continue to improve on. I think our kids did a good job of listening and focusing week in and week out. That doesn't mean some weren't better that others, but overall we did well with that."
Gibbs said that one instance in particular demonstrated his teams maturity this season was before the team's Sept. 19 game at Jackson.
"We had to wait a couple of hours to play because the wind and the rain," Gibbs said. "I was worried about how our kids were going to react. I went into the locker room and they were all huddled around a portable DVD player watching Jackson game footage as opposed to goofing off. That shows a lot about their maturity level and attitude."
Gibbs and his staff return all of their starters except for three senior leaders, Charlie Bohannon, CA Strickland, and Gabe McClung.
"We are only losing three starters," Gibbs said. "The tough thing is our losses to graduation are key leaders. From year to year, coaches can replace players. But it's hard to replace leaders. We will need some leadership to step up next year because we will have a void there with Charlie Bohannon and CA Strickland, who I feel were our main leaders, graduating."
Gibbs notes that his staff will have to have some new leaders step up to cope with the reshuffle of his players positions this offseason.
"We are evaluating everything right now from our players to our program in general," Gibbs said. "So I suspect we will have some position changes to address our needs next year. But you have to feel good with that many kids coming back. If we were able to stop today and start again tomorrow, we would be really good. But there are so many variables between now and the start of next season that we will just have to take care of."
Gibbs said much of his team's success this year is due to departing senior quarterback Bohannon, who passed for 970 yards in just eight games, the best showing by a Sikeston quarterback in five years.
"Charlie (Bohannon) changed himself as a football player completely from last year to this year," he said. "We talked about what we expected of him last winter and what he had to do. He certainly came in from the first to last whistle of the year ready to play for us. He was a great team leader. He had a good grasp of our offense. He did a good job of keeping things moving in the right direction. It is a shame he got injured for those two games, but he was able to come back and finish strong for us. He was a very valuable person who will be hard to replace."
This year, the Bul�-ldogs recorded their first non-losing season since 2002 and played in their first meaningful week 10 game with playoff ramifications since 1999. Gibbs feels these are signs of progress.
"It's hard sometimes to measure progress," he said. "One of the hardest things to do is to get kids to believe without proof. Believing without proof when you are 2-8 (2007 season), believing without proof through those winter months when there hasn't been success in a long time. That is hard to do. I think that when you take into consideration that we have had some tough times as a program over the last few years, coupled with the fact that we don't overwhelm anybody with brute strength or 65 football players, you have to feel good with the progress we have made."
Gibbs said the progress was due to a few different factors.
"We made that progress for a couple of reasons," he said. "Number one, the kids began to really buy in to our whole system about week three. Not that they weren't working before, but that was the point where our kids really began to believe what we were talking about. Things began to click and once they began to improve that really carried over into the games."
Gibbs also felt the coaching staff did a good job getting some freshman up to the high school level, allowing coaches to teach just one position as opposed to two.
"When you put all of that together with a lot of kids coming back, you have to feel good about what we did and where we have the potential to go as a team and a program," Gibbs said. "At the same time, we are what we are, we are a .500 football team. If we are going to get better we have to commit this offseason to making that happen."
Gibbs feels that the right approach to all levels of Sikeston football bodes well for the future.
"We don't just want to have seasons, we want to develop a program," he said. "That starts at the lower levels. That is where you love or non-love of the game starts."
Gibbs said the success of a football program is due to a cooperative effort.
"Hiring a new football coach is not the only answer to building a program," he said. "There are all kinds of people who have their 'finger in the pie' so to speak. To make it click, everyone from top to bottom needs to be on the same page, whether it is the superintendent of schools, the high school principal, the athletic director, the head football coach, all the assistants and lower level coaches, all the way to the parents have to be on the same page. We feel like we really have everyone working together at this point. There is no doubt that, that cooperation makes my job a lot easier."
Gibbs also commented about the growing enthusiasm and fan support for Bulldog football, and the need for it to continue to grow.
"Kids are easily swayed sometimes, and fan support can do that," he said. "If a kid is really a competitor, he likes to play in front of big crowds. There is no doubt in my mind that having more people as a following, knowing that there are more people starting to care about you and your program, that gives you that internal boost. We do feel like people did start to pay more attention to and follow us. Sometimes that was just stopping a player or coach and ask them how things were going. It would really be nice to pack every home game and to have a good following on the road."
Gibbs noted that an instance in the season, also at the Jackson game, showed his team's desire to play on the big stage.
"Before the Jackson game, our kids were excited about the prospect about playing in front of 6,000 people," he said. "Obviously that didn't happen because of the rain. But before the rain, during our warm-ups, I had three or so players say to me, 'Coach, this is what it is all about.' The rain wiped all that out. But I know our kids would really like to play in front of those big crowds with a lot on the line."
Gibbs is optimistic about the 2009 season, but says that his players will have to work for to achieve their collective goal.
"We have a really nice opportunity next year if we reach out there and get it," he said. "We can make strides in wins and losses, because that is what people look at. We can also make strides in other areas that are important. I think there is an opportunity for our kids to be a part of something special as a football team next year. They are going to have to completely buy in to everything we want them to do, like attending the offseason work outs and summer camps. If they do that, they will have an opportunity to be better than we were this year."

DEERPARK — Deerpark police Chief Bill Werner has been suspended, but so far town officials are keeping mum as to why.
Deputy Supervisor David Hoovler said Werner had been suspended but referred further comment to Supervisor Karl Brabenec, who is the town's police commissioner. Brabenec said Friday that it was a personnel matter and he couldn't comment. Werner didn't return a call to his home Friday.
Werner has been chief since 1999. He is also retired from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
He was the subject of some controversy in 2007, when a group of off-duty male officers went on a trip to the Hooters restaurant in Franklin, N.J., and the town was left covered by just one state trooper because of scheduling issues with the two town cops who were supposed to work. He was also sued by three female officers in 2007 alleging gender discrimination; one plaintiff's complaint was dismissed and the town settled with the other two in 2011 and 2012, according to federal court papers.

If I'm not on campus, I'm usually visiting downtown Boise. But once in a while, a weekend outing will keep me closer to the College. Such was last weekend, which found me in nearby Nampa and Marsing. I was on the hunt for two things: a pumpkin, and some pie.
A month into school and I'm surviving. Well, honestly I am more than surviving, I'm loving it. I've made some great friends already and my classes are great.
I love the fact that there is no excuse for being unprepaired other than not managing your time. I also like how pretty much everything I have to do is in a 500-yard radius. It makes it seem like I can do a lot more in my day because I don't have to drive across town for every activity I do. I miss my family quite a bit, but I'm staying busy enough to keep from beeing homesick.
I never got much into Homecoming activities back when I was in high school. Back then, all of it felt so artificial, what with all the ridiculous themes that felt like they were pulled from a hat of dumb ideas, predictable popularity contests, and pep rallies the student body was forced to attend. Of course, college is different from high school in a great variety of ways, and Homecoming is no exception. And I might be a tiny bit biased in my assessment, but I think College of Idaho does Homecoming better than anywhere else.
Let's get real for a minute here, readers. College is tough. Really tough. Insanely tough.
Sometimes, it makes you so mad you feel like you are 2 seconds away from Hulking out and flipping over every table in the near vicinity and then running off and joining the Avengers.
Actually…that sounds pretty awesome.
After a long week of recruitment, I'm back on the quiet floor of the library. By the way, if you saw my post last week about formal recruitment, and then wondered where it went, I had to take it down after being abruptly informed that it was considered a violation of recruitment rules, as it constituted undue contact with potential members.
Washington, D.C. is the most powerful city in the world. For two hundred years it has been a destination for those who want to make a difference in the world. The history you read about in textbooks, the debates you watch on the news – it all happens here.
These weeks are going by so fast I at some point forgot what month it was. Nonetheless, fall semester sophomore year has definitely been my favorite semester.
I have so much to do this upcoming week. I keep asking myself how I could possibly have so much homework and the culprit is…procrastination.
Last year, I was approached by Dr. Islam, the chair of our English department with an opportunity to help out at our Academic Support Center (ASC) as a writing tutor. At the time, I was a student in her Advanced Fiction Writing Workshop, stressing out somewhat over the lengthy draft of the short story I owed her, extremely honored that she thought I would be a good fit.
This week, I made the tearful decision that me and my Netflix account needed to take a break (he was getting waaaaaayyyyy too clingy). Finding myself suddenly without my go-to entertainment venue, I needed to branch out. I decided to embrace my inner high-society aristocrat and partake in one of life's richer, finer activities. I dressed in my finest shawls, packed my comically sized binoculars, and asked the driver to saddle up my best horse, for I, ladies and gentlemen, was off to the theatre.

AbstractFusarium avenaceum is a widespread pathogen of important crops in the temperate climate zones that can produce many bioactive secondary metabolites, including moniliformin, fusarin C, antibiotic Y, 2-amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (2-AOD-3-ol), chlamydosporol, aurofusarin and enniatins. Here, we examine the production of these secondary metabolites in response to cultivation on different carbon sources in order to gain insight into the regulation and production of secondary metabolites in F. avenaceum. Seven monosaccharides (arabinose, xylose, fructose, sorbose, galactose, mannose, glucose), five disaccharides (cellobiose, lactose, maltose, sucrose and trehalose) and three polysaccharides (dextrin, inulin and xylan) were used as substrates. Three F. avenaceum strains were used in the experiments. These were all able to grow and produce aurofusarin on the tested carbon sources. Moniliformin and enniatins were produced on all carbon types, except on lactose, which suggest a common conserved regulation mechanism. Differences in the strains was observed for production of fusarin C, 2-AOD-3-ol, chlamydosporol and antibiotic Y, which suggests that carbon source plays a role in the regulation of their biosynthesis.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

And so we arrive at one of the most eagerly anticipated Test series of recent times, made even more delicious by the prospect of Australia giving the number one South Africans a real run for their money.
And so we arrive at one of the most eagerly anticipated Test series of recent times, made even more delicious by the prospect of Australia giving the number one South Africans a real run for their money.
Six months ago, Proteas fans were cockily sipping on their sponsor's brews, fully expecting a three nil drubbing when the Baggy Green arrived on African soil. Now, with the Aussies high on confidence following their England annihilation, the beer's gone a bit flat.
The Aussies are talking in the media about their 'best in the world' bowling attack, Mitchell Johnson's magic moustache and how the Proteas will falter without Jacques Kallis. The hosts have been keeping mum, focusing on their training.
Of course, South Africa have been on tenterhooks about a few injuries, with Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers recovering quickly from various niggles and hand surgery respectively. But all seems to be well ahead of Centurion.
The main question is, of course, who will get the all-rounder berth. Faf du Plessis will bat at four in Kallis' old spot, leaving either Ryan McLaren or Wayne Parnell as the fourth seamer slash number seven bat.
They have played four Tests between them, so neither will be picked on experience, but one imagines the conservative option for a first Test of the series will be McLaren, with his more disciplined approach with both ball and bat.
As for the Aussies, they also have an all-rounder conundrum after Shane Watson was ruled out with a calf injury. It is anticipated that Alex Doolan will bat at three in his stead, or it could be the much-maligned Phil Hughes, while Moises Henriques bats at six and bowls his medium pacers.
Of course, they could also use Shaun Marsh, who was in the original squad, then injured and dropped, and then fine again and recalled, at three, and then Hughes at six. We shall see at the toss.
The focus will be on the bowling attacks though, with Johnson's new moustache posing the question: Is it magic too? His last trip to South Africa was not a good one, so we wait to see if his recent revival was an Indian Summer.
Otherwise, Ryan Harris' dodgy knees (and back and ankles, and...) will need to stand up to scrutiny too, after his long and high-impact Ashes exploits, while Peter Siddle's aggression will be matched, if not bettered, by Steyn's.
*shivers in antici... pation!*
Key Men
Look. It's Johnson versus Steyn. That's all anyone cares about ahead of this Test, rightly or wrongly. If the Proteas skittle the Aussie top order, they have the power to wrap up the tail better than England did, while MiJo is a master at removing the bottom half of the opposion order.

SIKESTON - When we hear the words "prisoners of war" or "POW camps," we think of our American soldiers in miserable places.
But the United States took plenty of prisoners during World War II, too, bringing them thousands of miles to be held on U.S. soil.
"There were close to a half a million of these guys here," said David Fiedler of St. Louis. Of those 15,000 were held right here in Missouri.
Fiedler's book, "The Enemy Among Us: POWs in Missouri During WWII," released in October by the Missouri Historical Press, focuses on these 15,000 men and the experiences of the prisoners and those here who came in contact with them.
Fiedler said he first became aware that prisoners of war were brought to the United States while serving in the military in Texas when he saw a cistern that had been built by German POWs.
It wasn't until 1998 that he found out POWs were held in Missouri after seeing a display at Fort Leonard Wood. "I had never, ever heard about the presence of these 15,000 prisoners," Fiedler said.
Deciding it would make a great story, he first started researching the subject for a magazine. "In 2001, the article appeared in Missouri Life," Fiedler said.
In gathering information for the article, Fiedler sent out letters to newspapers in towns where camps had been and veteran organizations. "I began to hear from people who had first-hand experience with these prisoners," Fiedler said.
Some were farmers who had them as laborers; others were civilians who worked in the camps' administration "or just people that lived in the towns and remembered seeing the prisoners going through town on the back of a truck on their way to work on the farm or remember talking to the prisoners a the camps themselves through the fence."
As he began to conduct the interviews, he soon realized his mental image of POW camps was nowhere near the reality.
"You expect them to be miserable places, but that really wasn't the case here," said Fiedler. While it stands to reason that "a person is not normally going to chose to be a prisoner of war," Fiedler said, "they were treated so well, most looked back with gratitude and a bit of fondness on their time here.
"It was boring sometimes," Fiedler conceded, but POWs were paid to work, were able to interact with people, were fed and treated well and, for the most part, were simply "allowed to pass the time until the war was done... They seemed to enjoy themselves and their work."
As part of the Sikeston Depot's book lecture series, beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, Fiedler will present a slide show of about 50 photos, maps and illustrations and discuss POWs held in Missouri in general as well as particulars about the POWs in this area.
"They went swimming in the Sikeston pool a couple times a week," said Fiedler. "It was event to see them swim and dive."
Prisoners at the Sikeston branch camp were Italians from Camp Weingarten near Ste. Genevieve, one of the four main base camps for the POWs along with Fort Leonard Wood in central Missouri, Camp Crowder outside of Neosho in the state's southeastern corner, and Camp Clark outside of Nevada in eastern Missouri. Each held between 3,000 and 5,000 prisoners. These were supported by about two dozen branch camps, including one in Sikeston, where the labor could be best used to replace farm hands off fighting as soldiers.
All of the POWs held in Missouri were either German or Italian, according to Fiedler: "We had very few Japanese prisoners of war."
He explained that while there were 70,000 Italian and 350,000 German POWs, there were only 5,000 Japanese POWs.
"In large part that was due to the way they fought," Fiedler said, "which was to fight to the death or commit suicide rather than get captured."
The Japanese that were taken prisoner didn't work well in labor camps, so for the most part authorities "just held them" at two camps, one in Iowa and the other in Wisconsin.
Initial fears about the POW camps in Missouri were overcome by the need for the agricultural labor at first, but after time these misgivings "melted away" as the locals came to know "Italians" and "Germans" as just people, and vice versa.
"There was a lot of friendliness and interaction," Fiedler said, "or at least a mutual respect - everybody got along all right for the most part."
In addition to the Sikeston branch camp, other Bootheel branch camps were at Charleston, New Madrid, Marston, Malden and Kennett. These typically held between 50 and 250 POWs and were usually short-term affairs for help with the cotton crops. Fiedler said: "Sikeston was an exception because it was a long-term branch camp."
The Sikeston camp started out with just tents for the prisoners. "At first they were used in corn detassling," Fiedler said. Things went well, however, and the area agricultural association wanted to keep the POWs around.
"They continued to work in the cotton oil mill and on farms in the area - first corn, then cotton and a variety of agricultural tasks," Fiedler said.
Eventually, light wooden barracks were erected to house the Sikeston camp POWs.
While there were Italian immigrants in St. Louis, most people in this area had never met someone of Italian descent and found them exotic and exciting, Fiedler said. "There are still lots of people in Sikeston that remember them being here," he said.
"One of them actually came back and got married to a woman in Sikeston and took up farming," said Fiedler. "He didn't know the woman while he was here."
"All the rest of my family did, but I didn't," confirmed Joy Ghersi of Sikeston. "There was another prisoner of war that I did get to know. He asked me come for a visit and I did." That relationship, however, was purely platonic. "He had already married," Ghersi said. "My father had been kind to him and was trying to repay."
Ghersi's father, E.L. Corbin, was apparently known to many of the POWs for his kindness as one of the camp's hybrid corn supervisors. "My father worked in the processing, getting it ready for sale," she explained.
After the war another prisoner, Felice Ghersi, wrote to Corbin thanking him for kindness. When Corbin put off responding too long, his daughter answered instead, leading to three or four years of correspondence.
"It eventually led to them being married," Fiedler said.

Mozilla just upgraded its Firefox Browser this week and when it did, I've lost all CSS on my Admin Page (WP 2.2). It has all the text there and every link works--but it's just plain text, no CSS.
In Explorer, the Admin page still displays correctly.
It does this on two different computers with Firefox. Firefox display almost everything else correctly. Statcounter's home page is enlarged.
I had installed on Firefox the WebDeveloper plug in and the StumbleUpon plug ins. I deactivated both. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled.
It still performs fine with every othe webpage, even my blog's homepage produced by WordPress. It's JUST the WP-Admin page.
Any ideas?

Last week we reported that Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) would most likely be the voice of Rocket Raccoon in the upcoming Marvel flick, Guardians of the Galaxy. We now have the official word from Marvel in the press release below, but even more interesting that that was the picture that accompanied the release. Check out the first look at Rocket Raccoon!
OFFICIAL: Bradley Cooper to Voice Rocket Raccoon in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
The Academy Award®-nominated actor joins the cast of Marvel Studios' space epic!
Academy Award-nominated actor Bradley Cooper has officially joined the cast of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," lending his voice to the fan-favorite raccoon that will join Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) on their epic adventure.
Cooper has previously starred in "Silver Linings Playbook," for which he was nominated for an Oscar®, "Limitless," "Place Beyond the Pines" and the "Hangover" trilogy, the latter of which has grossed $1.4 billion globally. He will next be seen in "American Hustle" which will reunite him with "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell. "Guardians of the Galaxy" will mark Cooper's first voiceover work.
In the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an unlikely cast of characters including Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket Raccoon must join forces to defeat a cosmic force of epic proportions. Directed by James Gunn, the live-action "Guardians of the Galaxy" will take fans to new corners of the Marvel Universe when it hits theaters August 1, 2014, but in the meantime stay tuned to Marvel.com for the latest news as it breaks, including official casting, first looks and more!
In addition to "Guardians of the Galaxy," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Thor: The Dark World" on November 8; "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" on April 4, 2014; "Avengers: Age of Ultron" on May 1, 2015; and "Ant-Man" on November 6, 2015.
Guardians of the Galaxy starring Bradley Cooper, John C. Reilly, Karen Gillan, Benicio Del Toro, Glenn Close, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace, and Michael Rooker is slated to hit theaters August 1st, 2014.

Education: Are we moving forward or backward?
"Education is a right, not a privilege." This is a term echoed by many, in a fight that has been going on since Blacks have been in this country, starting back during slavery when laws were passed forbidding slaves or free Blacks in the South from learning how to read or write. The belief was that if they could read it would lead to discontent and rebellion. It was punishable by death or severe punishment. That alone should tell us how important education is to White America and should be to us. But how many of us have read our history.

NEW DELHI: The government has sensed that many companies with a blemished past are getting fatter in the present stock market boom. To caution the investing public, the company affairs ministry will soon launch a media campaign asking them not to go by the "window dressed" results of companies. The awareness drive will ask the public to verify a company's history and be assured that it had never been a defaulter.
The campaign, to be supported by the ministry's Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), will also ask the public to check the company's antecedents and all the orders passed against it by the economic regulators.

|Study of Occupant Behavior During the World Trade Center Evacuation: Preliminary Report of Results
|September 10, 1995
|On February 26, 1993, shortly after noon, a bomb exploded in a subterranean garage below the World Trade Center plaza in New York City. The explosions and subsequent fire caused extensive structural damage on several basement levels, interferred with the operation of the fire protection and other emergency systems and resulted in the evacuation of over 100,000 occupants of the complex. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) undertook a research project, funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the General Services Administration, NFPA and NRC, to study the human behavior of building occupants in this incident and to document, to the extent possible, those engineering details such as building design, fire safety features, and smoke spread, that effected behavior. The purpose of this project was to collect and preserve human behavior data. The information gathered will aid in the understanding of what people do in fires and why and how those actions may conform to or differ from the assumptions used in designing and planning for life safety in such a large building. Results will help in work toward the improvement of fire safety in similar occupancies and to enhance the knowledge needed in the development of emergency evacuation models.

Be on the lookout for this Arlington bank robber
Do you know this man? If you do, you can get money for turning him into the Arlington Police Department.

The man is described as white, about 50 years old, standing about 5 foot two inches. He has a thin to average build with short brown hair and is balding in the front. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a dark green or black hooded sweatshirt and dark pants. He also used what appeared to be a cloth to cover his mouth.

Reactions to White House Memo on Joe Sestak
White House General Counsel Bob Bauer issued a memorandum today detailing the administration's unsuccessful actions to get Rep. Joe Sestak to abandon his primary bid against Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter. His conclusion: the White House did nothing wrong.
Check out this Wall Street Journal story for more, and you can read the full memo here.
Here is a roundup of analysis and reactions to the latest twist in the Sestak story:
Byron York, Washington Examiner: "The big question: The White House got Bill Clinton involved for this?… The bottom line is, the brief White House statement falls far short of laying the Sestak matter to rest. The next move is Sestak's — we'll likely hear from him soon. And then Republicans will keep asking the questions they have been asking for three months now. Finally, we'll have to see whether the Democrats who called on the White House and Sestak to come clean are satisfied by this latest version of events."
Markos Moulitsas, via Twitter: "Damn. Daily Kos will be hiring in the next few months. But offering people one job to leave another is now illegal and corrupt."
Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif), in a statement: "President Clinton and Congressman Sestak now need to answer questions about what the White House has released today…Regardless of what President Clinton or Congressman Sestak now say, it is abundantly clear that this kind of conduct is contrary to President Obama's pledge to change 'business as usual' and that his Administration has engaged in the kind of political shenanigans he once campaigned to end."
Greg Sargent, The Plum Line: "Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, says there's no "there" here. This couldn't be bribery, she says, because the position was unpaid. Beyond that, Sloan adds, the Federal bribery statute requires an offer of something of value in exchange for an official act. Sloan says that not running for Senate would not constitute an official act in any case, even if a paid position were offered in return for dropping a run for office."
Tabitha Hale, RedState.com: "The little problem with their story is that no one is buying it. First of all, it took them months to concoct it. There is no doubt that they'll all stick to the script, now that it's been written…This in no way gets them off the hook."
Steve Benen, Washington Monthly: "The year's thinnest, most vapid, most manufactured political "controversy" appears to be ending with a whimper…When Sestak first claimed in February that he'd been offered a job, that was a bit of an exaggeration. The discussions apparently included a spot on the Intelligence Advisory Board, but even that was quickly dismissed as an idea because he couldn't serve on the panel while remaining in Congress. So, what are we left with? Perhaps the dullest, most inconsequential White House "controversy" in a very long time."
Larry Sabato, National Review: "I must say, I've had a hard time mustering any moral outrage about this one. Presidents and their aides do this kind of thing all the time. It's one of the great advantages of White House incumbency. In trying to get the ballot line-ups you prefer, you actually have bargaining chips in the form of appointments, both paid and unpaid jobs."

A theft from a person accompanied by violence will be charged as robbery which is one of the most serious types of offences in the criminal calendar. We deal with such cases on a daily basis, whether they involve relatively low level offending by youths, knife point robberies in the street or organised robberies with firearms on financial or other institutions.
Many youths are charged with robbery and appear in the Youth Court. On occasions these cases will be deemed serious enough to warrant a Crown Court trial notwithstanding the age of the accused.
Serious and organised armed robberies often involve complex conspiracy allegations and numerous robberies or attempted robberies by the same alleged gang. These investigations are often conducted by the Flying Squad and involve a large amount of documentary and/or video evidence.
We are very experienced in handling robbery cases wherever they fall within this spectrum.

New Delhi: Rashtrapati Bhawan will now host 200 public visitors every Saturday at its forecourt for witnessing the ceremonial 'Change of Guard' conducted in precision by smartly dressed Armymen and caparisoned horses.The ceremony which entails a series of military traditions, from bugles and bands to the horse-riding President's Body Guards (PBG), will have a new look as the drill will be conducted in the backdrop of the majestic dome of the Presidential House, from the earlier North Block."We have decided to lift all restrictions with regard to the change of guard ceremony and about 200 people will be able to enter the forecourt lawns of the Rashtrapati Bhawan every Saturday. The changes have been made on the instructions of President Pranab Mukherjee who is very particular about the fact that this place should be open and accessible to the common man," the President's Press Secretary Venu Rajamony told reporters during a preview drill here today.During winters, the ceremony will start at 10 am every Saturday, he said.Lasting about 30 minutes, visitors can witness PBGs emerging from behind the tall Jaipur column amid the brass band notes of AR Rehman composed 'Maa Tujhe Salaam'.The brass band will also play some of the best known patriotic songs like 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' with interludes of military tunes and the 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' lalkaar (war cry) made by the troops.As the new guard will take position alongside the old one, the audience will have moments to regale in this tradition which has been continuing since 2007 at the President's Estate.The retreat of the guards is completed with the National anthem being played by the Army band.The elegant military drill, which will be conducted by specially chosen men from the 28 Madras battalion of the Army, also has a new feature in the form of equestrian display which showcases the rhythmic harmony of the powerful PBG horses with the band.The clank of accoutrements, of both the smartly dressed men and ornamented horses, compiled with the thud of the horseshoe and the clear stomp of Napoleon boots makes the ceremony an audio-visual delight.The 'Change of Guard' is a military tradition where old sentries enable a contingent of new ones to take their duties swiftly.The current PBG (28 Madras), which is based in the Rashtrapati Bhawan for a period of three years, has arrived here after completing its task at the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir. PBG accompanies the President every time he is out for his ceremonial duties.Worldover, military contingents conduct the ceremony in their unique style and a number of domestic and international tourists throng the Raisina Hill to witness this splendid Indian drill every time it is showcased.

Using gender as a weapon
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, January, 23, 2013, (7:12am)
Janet Albrechtsen:
Perhaps the brutal political realm is no place for nuanced debates about men and women. Presumably, that is how Gillard and her fellow gender warriors such as Tanya Plibersek and Nicola Roxon justify their almost daily determination to portray Abbott, the happily married man with three confident daughters, as a woman-hating ogre. But if we accept the premise that it is just politics, then don't we also need to accept the logical next step—that these Labor women have chosen to balance a fraudulent feminist chip on their shoulder whenever it suits their political purpose?
Two decades on from Garner's intelligent book, how far has feminism really come if our first female Prime Minister uses confected outrage to launch a dishonourable gender war?… Gillard's gender war is being mapped out by a politically savvy man, John McTernan, the PM's communications chief, to win the next election. Despite her eagerness to play the gender card, Australia's first female PM is a role model for nothing more than a politician who chases power at any price and will do whatever it takes to keep it.

Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:06am)
Stepping in puddles of the PM's making often requires a change of footwear!
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:43am)
And with less mud too.
"....nothing more than a politician who chases power at any price and will do whatever it takes to keep it"
Isn't that the credo of virtually every political leader in history? You could certainly say that about the likes of Malcolm Fraser & John Howard.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:23am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:57am)
So do you agree about Gillard then?
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:27am)
Not if they possess principles and integrity, as clearly JWH does. Gillard possesses neither.
Sort of nullifies your point doesn't it?
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:12pm)
Just who did John Howard and Malcolm Fraser denigrate, tell lies about, manufacture a fake persona about and acted like a screaming banshee in Parliament about.?
Love to get some names from you.

Arthur Koestler quoted to an audience of Communist sympathizers Thomas Mann's phrase, 'In the long run a harmful truth is better than a useful lie'. The non-Communists applauded; the Communists and their sympathizers remained icily silent....

With regards to everyone I believe you don't need to tell fibs to prove yourself if you are strong and confident and know your job. Porkies are told to cover up !

Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:49am)
I know just like the ABC right…
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:57am)
Problem for you is that J.A is absolutely correct and has nailed this sub-standard Prime Minister to the mast.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:57am)
Sorry to spoil your party with the truth, but Janet's columns are clearly marked as opinion pieces.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:59am)
If you don't agree with her, at least offer a counter argument. You know, like, debate.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:12am)
Your comment is meaningless. It is an opinion piece - you know, giving an opinion.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:33am)
Hilarity always ensues when a caricature lefty can't argue any points discussed in the article and is reduced to (purposely?) misunderstanding the need for objectivity in our tax-payer funded ABC "columnists and reporters".
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:57am)
As opposed to the non-partisan ABC, Laurie Oakes, Michelle Grattan, Phil Coorey, Mark Riley, and numerous others of the leftie persuasion (some of whom - like the ABC - are even funded by taxpayers!), who way outnumber conservative or neutral commentators and reporters.
I don't see ANY conservative reporting or commentary funded by taxpayers at all!
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:24pm)
Did you read the article?
Where is Janet's logic flawed?
Ah, that [not]inquirer deciding what was said without bothering to actually find out what was said based on who said it.
Happy New Year Jordo/Reco/[insert nom de plume here].
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:35pm)
So is what she has written here true or untrue in your opinion and why, mudslinger?? Please enlighten us with your own undoubtedly wise and "non partisan" contribution on this very important issue she has addressed....
Wed 23 Jan 13 (01:21pm)
Ahhh " the Fabian liars brigade , never stop the con , but we know your game , the NEW WORLD ORDER Workshops and the Agenda 21 treaty signed by Keating in 92 , make sure you get you blog pay and watch those 100 meter waves petal , oh ",thats right , the USA and NZ tested bombs to make them according to the news , no wonder they were predicting them .
Wed 23 Jan 13 (01:32pm)
Er, how about you play the ball and not the player there cob. It is her words that are valid and what should be the key. Did her article not make sense to you?
The PM should join MasterChef. We know she knows how to sharpen and use knives.
I cannot wait for the election to vote these disgraceful people out of office.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:35am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (01:04pm)
Yeah, she & her Liebor cronies are pretty good at cooking the books
Gillard is more a opportunist than a feminist
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:35am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:20pm)
Spot on. It's astounding that the mainstream media aren't calling the sexist mysoginist slur being directed at Abbott for what it is, a complete fabrication. It disgusts me that the likes of Roxon, Plybersek & Gillard trot this rot out daily without being challenged by the mainstream media on what is completely without reason. The three are perfect examples of how not to act & carry on. They really aren't worthy of holding the positions they do.
The communists always structure their rhetoric on the assumption that the average voter is pretty thick. For quite a long time they are repeatedly proven correct.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:43am)
The attack on Tony Abbott as a misogynist is not feminism, just as the race riot last year trying to label tony abbott as a racist was not racism.
What it is, is fraud.
Fraud is defined as
Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
cheat - deceit - deception - swindle - humbug - fake
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:45am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:45am)
Which is exactly what feminism is. Since the 60's, the filth of feminism has been nothing but a long string deception for personal gain.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (02:44pm)
Yes. Absolutely so. However, one must remember that she is far too thick to devise all these malignant intriques. For that she had to bring Tony Blair's ex cabin boy over here.....
I am heartily sick and tired of Gillard's baseless gender war confected by an imported spinner, promoted by she-males uncomfortable with themselves, trying to crucify a decent man and foisted on the electorate as a distraction from abysmal governance.
The last couple of weeks we have had Gillard's face plastered all over the newspapers as the warm and fuzzy knitter, the Christmas dinner cook, the dog lover, the publicity chasing embracer of all things home and hearth. All this after listening to her screaming rant in parliament last year. Give me a break.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:47am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:43am)
The gender war is baseless. It is men who are suffering in all sorts of ways whilst no government has done very much to alleviate their problems or to assist them.
Women may have been affected by workplace bullying but whingeing about sexism in particular has got them what they want. Men have for many years have endured workplace bullying including sexism in some instances and have been supposed to suffer it.
The Men's Shed run by Gillard's first bloke is an insult to the nation as it can do nothing whatsoever to address the gnawing issues confronting Australian men who have suffered discrimination from all institutions from Australia's earliest inception as a country.
Today it is men who have an abysmal suicide rate at all ages. These details and graph show that the age-standardised suicide rate in 2010 for males was 16.4 per 100,000 while the corresponding rate for females was 4.8 per 100,000. So men are easily more depressed than women are for a multitude of reasons which apparently do not involve or affect women very much at all.
Many more men die from cancer than women too. Far less is done about it in by governments by virtue of information and treatment.
Forensic facts show which gender is clearly suffering the most and how they are not coping with life. A detailed study of men's death rates overall including during wars would definitely show that women are Australia's most protected species.
Why Ms. Gillard would bring up a gender war as a political play at all is pathetic in light of the facts.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:47pm)
Boy oh boy - ain't that the truth! Obviously an election coming up with her being rammed down our throats at every opportunity. What scares me the most is that people will believe this garbage and be totally sucked in by all this "nice, homey, caring Julia". As you say, give me a break! Truly nauseating.
Australia's first female PM is a role model for nothing more than a politician who chases power at any price and will do whatever it takes to keep it.
... the trouble is that there's enough idiot women out there that thinks this is OK.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:54am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:34am)

Agreed. But, add to the group of idiotic women, the wussified girly-men.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:56am)
And blokes Mike, met one the other week and he flew into a rage because I dared say bad things of his beloved leader. I really hope I see this goose at a polling booth giving out How to vote cards on election day, I'll have him in tears…
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:11am)
Let's hope the image of Gillard's spittle flecked tirade last year remains with voters right up until November!!!
Wed 23 Jan 13 (02:13pm)
the wussified girly-men.
The word you are looking for is metrosexual.
The Left are both driven by and adept at exploiting grievances and victimhood. It is disgraceful but also sad that Gillard has chosen to deliberately exploit the unhappiness that some women have for themselves and for their lives in general.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (07:56am)
Gillard and her handbag wielding harpies are an abomination on the political landscape.Gillard is the leader who sees everything through the prism of her own importance, not what is good for the country.
I thought we were still living partly in a democracy till Gillard's announement yesterday. Racial discrimation used against a sitting Senator is disgusting. It shows Gillard will use anything and anyone to further her own glory days.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:03am)
It also shows that the PM has few ideas of her own but simply follows the road map drawn up by an imported political strategist who, like his boss, has no understanding of what Australians believe in, think about or want. That is, outside of the rusted-on, inner circle of ALP supporters and the parasitic Greens which live off them.
Wonder what Ms Gillard and Mr. McTernan are planning to spring on us this upcoming Australia Day?
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:05am)
Things must be getting desperate in the Gillard camp.
To unceremoniously dump a Founding Member of Emily's List could spell trouble?
Trish Crossin is the current National Co-Convenor of EMILY's List Australia.
Trish Crossin joined EMILY's List Australia as a foundation member in 1997
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:10am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:34am)
Hard to feel any sympathy for Crossin. She has been done over by the leader of the sisterhood in the ALP who exhibits all the aggression, hypocrisy, narcissism and special pleading that Crossin herself helped institutionalise in the ALP. What goes around comes around Trish!
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:39am)
Labor loyalty? An oxymoron.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:56am)
I can't recall ever hearing any adverse comment about Trish Crossin. In fact, when she has been mentioned, the comments have always been positive.
I hope she has the bottle to test the anti-discrimination laws in this country.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:50am)
Kind of ironic and pleasing that a woman who signed up to benefit from discrimination favouring her gender should be dumped for another because of her race.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (02:17pm)
Geoff you obviously know nothing about Crossin's
"reputation" in the N.T.
She represented the Left Wing faction, supported the U.N., opposed mining,and was a total failure compared to her predecessor Bob Collins.
Gillard is no role model for anything. She the Mugabe of Australia - a crook, gradually reducing a prosperous country to a hate ravaged failed state, just to cling to power.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:14am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:20am)
Funny, under Rudd/Gillard our economy has grown and we have overtaken Spain, South Korea and Mexico(Jumped three places)becoming the 12th largest economy.
But Facts have never been of any interest to the Right. They prefer to scream "communist" and compare the govt to every dictatorship under the sun.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (10:59am)
'...the Mugabe of Australia...'
Well said
I've often thought that the anti-Midas—while accurate—was a little soft for the Bogan Princess, our Prime Mistress.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (02:15pm)
But Facts have never been of any interest to the Right.
You wouldn't know a fact even if it was written down, rolled up and used to beat you about the ears.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (02:30pm)
Ah Reco,
Let's have a think about this (that would be new to you?):
- Spain has contracted (as opposed to us expanding) thanks to its devotion to green schemes. 25% unemployment and huge foreign debt.
- South Korea has a number of issues which hold it back including its neighbour to the immediate North
- Mexico is becoming a basket case with only tourism supporting it now due to government corruption etc. If they included drug funds, they'd be a lot higher on the list.
Now, taking some lessons from this, our debt is now bigger than Greece's and increasing every day, our unemployment is rising, our terms of trade are only reasonable at the moment due to very big holes in the ground in Qld and WA, our government is morally bankrupt (Nova Perris appointment anyone?) and our leader is under investigation (some say) for being a little bit "naive". Just how good do we have it again?
Or will I be locked up because my comments offend someone? How does that resonate with "dictatorship"?
To see Gillard using Nova Peris as a media grab in her desperate bid to retain power was appalling, I hope that Nova has someone to advise her that she is now embroiled in a typical ALP backstabbing of a sitting member in the Senate and when you join Labor as an outsider you will be treated very badly at some point, just ask Cherly Kernot or Maxine McKew, and now Trish Crossin.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:14am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (12:29pm)
If Ms Peris can't see what's happening, she deserves no sympathy .
Warren Mundine has lost me since he has said this makes up for his treatment at the hands of the dreadful woman, who loves, by the way, to preface her announcements with:" As Prime Minister".
The ego is there for all to see.
There are enough gullible bogans in this country to make the re-election of the CPA a real possibility.
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:24am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:20am)
If, after five years of this Walt Disney production there are still 'gullible bogans'
.........all is lost!
But then maybe the cartoon quality and surreality of these Labor politicians is their attraction....to some!
And has just proved she is equally able to 'shaft' a woman, in much the same style as she 'shafted' K Rudd - without conscience, in her typical Labor 'WHATEVER IT TAKES'!!!
And is so blinded by ambition she will never see the cliff she inevitably will fall over, till far too late .........
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:30am)
Wed 23 Jan 13 (11:49am)
At least Julia Gillard does not discriminate, and is an equal opportunity assassin.
In other words Janet, Julia Gillard is actually a puppet on strings, being used by a MALE portraying feminism! I think McTernan is the one who hates women!
Wed 23 Jan 13 (08:30am)
"a politician who chases power at any price and will do whatever it takes to keep it."
That's a description of virtually every totalitarian despot in history.
Who voted for this evil monarch's Fascist regime anyhow?
