Speakers blast 'blended' option
School redistricting and parents don't always blend well. The Henrico County School Board learned that tonight during a public hearing about the redistricting process that will set boundaries for the new Kaechele Elementary School in Short Pump and impact other schools in the region.
Most of the 42 speakers who addressed the board during the hearing at Hermitage High School made it clear: they don't like the school system's "blended" redistricting option.
They – and a vast majority of the overall attendees – expressed strong opposition to the option, which was created by school officials in recent weeks in an attempt to combine portions of the two primary redistricting options under consideration.
School Board Chairwoman Diana Winston had sought a blended option in part to determine if West Broad Street could be used as a dividing line for elementary school boundaries. But the option devised by school planners would involve moving too many students for questionable reasons while pushing Gayton Elementary School – currently well below capacity – more than 200 students above capacity, a number of speakers said.
Those who opposed the blended option also were critical of the process that led to its creation, arguing that it was not subjected to the same rigorous process of consideration by the 24-member volunteer redistricting committee as were the committee's other options.
"You have a luxury to plan below capacity for schools now and in the next 4 years by choosing either Option 1 or 2," said speaker Wendell Gore, a parent of Gayton Elementary School students. "The blended option does not allow that luxury. So why would you not take that opportunity?"
Winston began the hearing by acknowledging the opposition to the blended option, telling those in attendance that the outcome for Gayton would be unacceptable to the board, and that board members only would approve a plan that kept all elementary schools affected under capacity.
That seemed to allay concerns of many attendees, but it didn't prevent them from blasting the blended option anyway. Two speakers specifically asked the board to remove the option from consideration before or during its Dec. 13 work session. The board intends to adopt a boundary for Kaechele at its evening meeting that same day.
"I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but let me try to put one more bullet in that horse if I can," speaker Terry James told the board, urging it to reject the option.
"The problem is, there are too many students south of Broad and not enough students north of Broad, and the new school is north of Broad because of anticipated development," speaker Patrick Barbier said to loud applause. "It's a bad option because it's based on bad policy. Make it right."
One speaker who did support the blended option was Liz Harden, whose neighborhood currently is in the Pemberton zone and would remain there as part of that option. The other two options, Harden said, would cut Pemberton's population to about 80 percent of its capacity and slice away families who devote significant volunteer hours to the school.
"If we lose such a large section of our support, it is likely that the PTA will not be able to continue these programs," Harden said.
Several speakers representing Ridge Elementary School had similar concerns, telling the board not to approve any plan that would move a significant portion of active volunteer families away in order to keep the Nottingham Green apartment community (and its 160 students) together at the school.
Speakers tonight who supported Option 1 said that that option would best satisfy the goals of the process by moving the fewest number of students (about 1,000) and keeping all affected schools under capacity through 2016. Those who voiced support for Option 2 did so primarily because it would send their students to the school preferred by the majority of their neighborhoods. A majority of the redistricting committee itself also supports Option 2.
The board will continue to accept citizen comments through Dec. 9 before voting on the matter Dec. 13. To comment, visit http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/b581g51f74.

Ford is sending the Michigan plant that makes the Focus into overtime through September, as it struggles to meet demand for its compact car spurred by the government's Car Allowance Rebate System.
Ford spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said she could not share details, but acknowledged that Ford is "taking some actions to add production at Wayne."
Local 900 President Andrew Robinson Jr. offered more details about the added production time. The Wayne, Michigan, plant that produces the Focus began working 10-hour weekday shifts on Monday this week, and Ford has added Saturday shifts every other week starting August 15 and ending September 26. Robinson said two of the Saturdays had already been scheduled.
Sales of the Focus rose 44 percent in July, leaving Ford with just a 25-day supply. For several days during the CARS program, the Focus was the bestselling new vehicle. It was eventually topped by the Toyota Corolla, though as of August 5 it was still the second-most-popular vehicle. The added overtime will produce an additional 6400 Focuses between now and the end of September, according to Robinson.

Water Weights
Sculling, canoeing and kayaking are ideal spring and summer outdoor activities. Dive into the fun and physical challenges of any of them and enjoy the ride.
Rowing and paddling are both effective workouts. The difference between the two is significant, however, and give rowing the advantage in the calorie-burning and muscle-building arenas. Both rowing (or sculling) and canoeing (or paddling) are competitive events featured in the summer Olympics.
Athletes who use two oars, one in each hand, are rowers or scullers. Because there are oars on both sides of the boat, and because the oars reach deep into the water, sculling is done in wide, deep bodies of water like deep lakes, rivers and oceans. Sculling is a great way for novices to become familiar with the sport, and is especially effective for beginners under the age of 16.
In sculling, the oars are attached to the boat. The oars go deep into the water and create resistance, for a repetitive movement that works the chest, arms, upper back and abs.
The legs of scullers get a workout too, pressing against foot stops to propel their upper body into the stroke.
Sculling requires balance, which builds abdominal and back muscle strength.
Kayaks can navigate narrower bodies of water that two-oared boats. Kayakers paddle their ride, sitting higher in the water. The flat bottom of the boat means it glides easily across shallow waters.
Paddling a kayak uses muscles in the back, shoulders and core.
The legs get a workout too as they press against the foot pegs as the torso rotates for strokes on alternating sides of the vessel.
Because it provides each stroke with greater resistance and uses 70 percent of the body's muscles with each one, rowing burns more calories than paddling: Some athletes burn up to 600 calories/hour when rowing vs. up to 350 calories/hour for paddling.
Whether you're training for the 2020 Summer Olympics or out for a day on the lake with the family, sculling and paddling are an ideal spring exercise break.

"Dr. Ruth" to speak at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Legendary sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer will participate in a June 4 dialogue at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with the museum's director, Gary Tinterow. Starting point of the discussion will be Dr. Ruth's book, "The Art of Arousal: A Celebration of Erotic Art."
Somehow, it's a little hard to imagine the Dallas Museum of Art presenting Dr. Ruth–but, Max Anderson, here's your chance to prove me wrong. The DMA's current "Body Beautiful" exhibition, featuring sculpture and pottery from ancient Greece and Rome, IS surprisingly explicit about Greek sexual mores far more liberal than ours…
My mother was quite amused when, some years ago, I was invited to speak at a University of Rochester conference on "Pleasure," with Dr. Ruth as the keynote speaker. Alas, because of a schedule conflict, the good doctor had to cancel her appearance, but in my talk on "Music and Pleasure" I had great fun talking about, and demonstrating, the musical applications of tension and release. "I cannot pretend to be an authority on Dr. Ruth's subject," I said, to a good deal of laughter, "But I think you can figure out the connections."

I've been on Solodyn for a month now. Previously I was on Doxycycline for over a year - it was working okay, but made me quite sick when I took it on an empty stomache. Solodyn has been great. I'm taking it once a day instead of twice, the lowest (45mg) dosage. It doesn't make me sick at all and the results have been excellent. Now, if only it weren't so expensive!

I have been taking Solodyn for about 3 months, and it was very effective. When I stopped taking it, my breakouts returned so I went back on it and after only a week, I can tell a vast improvement. However, after reading other reviews, I realized that my severe hair loss is probably due to this drug. Will be consulting my doctor to find a solution.

Legality of running a car's plates for no reason
First some background.....
For some reason a serious warrant was put out for either my car or just the licence plate. My dad got pulled over by the CHP for expired registration and cops walked toward the car slowly with their hands on their guns. My dad said they looked like they expected him to dive out of the car with a .45 in each hand just like in all those John Woo movies. When they got close enough to see what my dad looked like they relaxed and asked if he knew anyone named Poindexter because there was a warrant out for his arrest. That was all the info my dad got so I'm assuming the warrant has my car down as his car. The DMV knows the car is mine so I don't know how my car got assoicated with him.
Ok here's the story: So we decided to go get new plates from the DMV but I have a habit of procrastinating hence the expired tags, which I fixed the next day. About a week later I got pulled over and the officer actually radioed in "Suspect not present" as soon as he got to my window. The only reason he pulled me over was because my plates showed a warrant. After running my licence he became extremly apologetic about pulling me over. So apologetic I had the sense that what he did was against regulations.
Can police run plates with out any reason? Being stuck at a red light is boring so I'd expect a cop to run plates of the person in front of him just for something to do.
02-25-2003, 06:55 PM #2THE BRONZEGuest
Courts have ruled you have no expectation of privacy when it comes to your registration plates. Officers can run them without the need for any suspicion. It's a good tool for proactive police work.
BTW, our Former Chief wanted to require that officers fill out a form every time they ran a tag through DMV. The assistant chiefs horse-laughed him. Fortunately, he moved west to a bigger paycheck...... Sorry Piper.
02-25-2003, 07:02 PM #3shooter1201Guest
When I went through the academy in 1989, we were 'cautioned' against running plates 'for no reason'. However, I do it daily in my current LEO capacity. RARELY is there 'no reason'....and OCCASIONALLY I'll 'get lucky' and get a hit.
Whre 'problems' develop is when someone sees a hottie driving and wants to know a bit more about her....
As you mentioned, the officer that pulled you over radioed 'suspect not present', which, IMO, implies he DID have a valid reason for running your plates to start with. It could have been as simple as your vehicle matching a BOLO.
FWIW, I ALWAYS log every plate I run...sort of a CYA thing I have developed.

quote:Nothing wrong with that, other than it offends some people, which is no big deal to me. It is NOT a violation of law or policy (at least with my agency or any I've worked for.) For the CHP, I'd say that is the way it should be done.

Can police run plates with out any reason?
02-25-2003, 07:40 PM #5TulpopoGuest
This has been a topic of debate around my dept. for a little while. Now, our legal advisor is telling us that a vehicle that comes back registered to a warranted/wanted person is NOT PC for a traffic stop.
However, if you then look at the driver and they match the description of the wanted person then PC exists. Or, you can always just wait for a traffic violation (which you can always find) and then stop the car.
None of this has been decided it a courtroom but it's our legal advisors "expert" opinion. We're hoping to have a case that will actually render a judgement on this soon.
Anything goes as far as running tags you see as long as the information obtained is for professional purposes.
02-25-2003, 07:52 PM #6sideshowGuest
I figured it might fall under needing probable cause but even that seemed like a stretch. I could tell the local sheriffs were always disapointed when they found out the warrant was a mistake because I used to come out from my apartment and see tickets for weird things like "obscured vin number".
Here's a second question. How often do mistakes like this come up? The California DMV is no beacon of efficency but they seem to screw this up ofter. I had to go to court to say that I didn't get into a accident and that my red 88 Taurus was not, and had never been a yellow 86 Mustang. Guess there was a hit and run up in Modesto and either the DMV of the local police screwed up and had my car as the suspect even it was obviously a mistake because the color and models were different.
02-25-2003, 08:11 PM #7JKTGuest
It's possible that whoever witnessed an accident or incident transposed a couple of letters or numbers and they wound up with yours.
Human error, most likely.

I almost always run plates hanging on with one bolt or in a car window. Seems the plates in the window lead to a good stopping charge 70% of the time.

Attractive females who smile at you as they drive by have been known to have their plates run on my job.
Of course, I have never done this.

My understanding of the law in this area is the same as that expressed by Chief Wiggum. An officer can run a license plate for any reason or no reason at all because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a license plate. If the license plate returns with a warrant, the officer can only stop the car if the physical descriptors on the warrant match the driver of the vehicle.

In Los Angeles County, there is a warrant system known simply as "County Wide System" (or CWS). Any law enforcement agency within the county can enter a warrant in this system; in fact, it's pretty much assumed that any valid warrant entered by any LE agency within the county (except Federal) will be found in CWS. Depending on the charge and how much the agency is willing to spend on extradition, the warrant can also be entered into the statewide warrant system (Wanted Persons System, or WPS) as well as NCIC.
The unique thing about CWS, that WPS/NCIC doesn't have, is the ability to attach minor warrants to license plates (the only way to do so with the others is to enter the vehicle as "stolen" or "felony vehicle"). So, let's say you are driving a car with CA license plate 4ABC123 when you get pulled over for running a red light. You get issued a ticket, but fail to appear in court. Not only is there now a warrant for your arrest in the system, but every time CA license plate 4ABC123 is run, that warrant will pop up. When the warrant is removed from the system (which is done by the courts), the "flag" goes away.
Sideshow, you didn't mention if you bought your car new or used, but if you are not the first owner of the car, most likely "Poindexter" was either the previous owner, or borrowed the car from a previous owner. Just because the car was subsequently sold doesn't make the warrant go away.
If you're wondering why DMV didn't tell you about the warrant, it's because CA DMV doesn't have access to the CWS system. In fact, DMV doesn't have access to the CA stolen vehicle database (SVS) either, but any vehicle entered as "stolen" or "felony vehicle" also has a "DOJ Stop" flag entered into the DMV record.
Most likely, in your father's case the CHP officer may not have run the plate first. He saw the expired tag, called it into dispatch, and as he's walking up to the car (or perhaps before he even got out of his) the dispatcher advised him of the warrant.
However, to answer your question, yes it's legal for us (at least in CA) to randomly run plates, as long as it's done for official purposes (i.e. not to get the name and address of the cute blonde in the Miata). However, even it wasn't legal, since you admitted that your license was expired, the CHP officer had every right to run your plate, to verify if it was indeed expired, rather than a case of an owner forgetting to put his current stickers on, or even the stickers having been stolen.
To answer your question about the supposed hit and run: for whatever stupid reason that I have yet to get answered by a DMV employee, CA DMV REFUSES to put down the model of the car on the DMV record. So, if I run your license plate, all I know is year, make, body type (sedan, coupe, station wagon, pickup, etc.), VIN, current owner, lienholder (if any), and date of registration expiration. The only way I can tell what model a car is by the DMV record is to compare the VIN with a book used by auto theft investigators. When people report any info regarding a car, we're lucky if the person knows what kind of car it is, much less a model and especially year.
If someone tells me the car I'm looking for is a mid to late 80's Mustang license 4ABC123, and that license plate returns to an 88 Ford sedan (technically the Mustang is a sedan, not a coupe even though it's a 2 door), unless proven otherwise it appears on the surface to be the correct license plate. The fact that DMV also omits color descriptions makes things even more difficult. Also, few people can tell the difference between an '86 and '88 Mustang, even though there are significant styling differences between the two. Only follow-up investigations can confirm the suspect vehicle, or clear it.

If i'm bored and there's nothing going on, if i see an unusual out of state tag i'll run it. Or a tag that has letter combinations that are unusual i'll run them too. lol.
I like the idea of tags in the window, running them. But there are so many down here that do that, just out of laziness i guess.

Up here, we can stop any vehicle at any time, and for no more excuse than to check for valid licence and registration.
During any check of any vehicle, subject or property, for whatever reason, it is a common, but sometimes overlooked by some investigators, practice to check the licence plate and/or VIN, the subject and the property's serial number/unique identifier, on CPIC (Canada's version of NCIC). We can also check NCIC.
CPIC has the advantage of ALWAYS being able to cross-reference a vehicle (by VIN and LP, with full make/model/style/model year/colour descriptors) that was used by, or is known to be associated to, a person who has been entered as being Wanted, on Parole, on Probation, or Prohibited (firearms, driving, hunting). The vehicle is known as a Pointer Vehicle.
Further, land, air and water craft, cash, negotiable financial instruments, identification, other property (with a serial number or other unique identifying alpha/numeric code) can be entered as Stolen, Lost or even Recovered/Impounded, and the person to whom it belongs (usually only for ID documents) or who is suspected of having stolen it, or otherwise is believed to have been associated to it, can be entered as a Pointer Person.
This way, if you query the VIN, LP, serial number or other unique identifying code of a vehicle, boat, plane or other property, you can find out if it is associated to a person who has Warrants for their arrest or is otherwise of interest to the police. Or, you can find out if the person you are checking may be suspected of having stolen property that you may not otherwise think of querying.
CPIC query responses can be viewed by any LEO/PO in Canada, or the entry may be restricted for view only within the Province where the offence occurred. Province-wide restriction is usually for Warrants for Provincial Statute offences, since they can not be executed in another Province. Even for Warrants for the majority of Criminal Code or Federal Statute offences, although the entry can be viewed anywhere in Canada, the Agency that entered the file on CPIC will NOT authorize execution of the Warrant, and thus the escort costs associated with returning the subject to their point, in another province.
Bottom line, a person operating a motor vehicle on or in a public place in Canada has NO expectation of privacy vis-a-vis an LEO/PO driving by, seeing their LP and either radioing it in to their dispatcher, or using their MWS directly, to check the plate and/or owner for outstanding Warrants or other files of interest by another LEO/PO.

In the UK we do not need a reason to stop a motorist, let alone check a registration/number (licence) plate on the Police National Computer (PNC).
Indeed much use is now being made of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). These are cameras attached to a computer with a direct link to the PNC which can read hundreds of number plates per hour. When you get a hit an audible warning is sounded and the offending vehicle is stopped for further investigation. This system leads to the recovery of stolen vehicles and other arrests based on information supplied to officers e.g outstanding warrants as well as numerous traffic matters and other offences.

One of the drawbacks to opsonic index work is the large amount of very trying microscopic work required. Anything that would tend to reduce this time or the strain on the eyes would seem of value. Simon has proposed a technic according to which the percentage of phagocyting leucocytes is ascertained, no account being taken of the number of bacteria per leucocyte.
The following suggestion will apply whether the original technic of Wright and Douglas is used or Simon's, with slight adjustment to the particular case. When counting in determining the Wright index, one observes the number of bacteria in each of several leucocytes, carrying the separate numbers "in his head" until he has as many as he can carry, say five to ten; then he jots them down, thus: 1, 2, 0, 5, 0, 0, 1, 0, 4, 2, etc., and after a sufficient number has been counted, the

Washington Braces for USA-Germany Conflict
WASHINGTON–President Barack Obama may be watching USA-Germany from Air Force One. The Senate's majority leader plans to huddle by a TV. And many ordinary residents of this city plan to take long lunches at nearby watering holes — or mix with rival soccer fans at an outdoor viewing party hosted by the German embassy.
The president, who is scheduled to travel to Minnesota on Thursday, likely will be airborne during the noon soccer match.
"For most Americans, you're on an airplane, you're disappointed that you're not going to have a chance to watch television. When you're the president of the United States, it's one of the rare opportunities that you actually have to be around the television when it's on," said White House press Secretary Josh Earnest. "So we'll be able to provide you an update whether or not the president takes advantage of that opportunity."
That's the plan! MT @tamarakeithNPR: do you have any new guidance whether POTUS will watch the USA-Germany match from AF1? #AskPressSec
— Josh Earnest (@PressSec) June 25, 2014
Washington is one of the top cities for soccer fans in the country, and the region has racked up the nation's top World Cup TV ratings, according to Nielsen, boosted by heavy presence of international workers and immigrants from serious soccer cultures.
Thursday's game with a powerful German side will decide whether or not the U.S. moves onto the knockout round. A win or draw guarantees advancement, and there are various scenarios in which the team loses and still advances.
For many reporters, lobbyists and Hill staffers, the best solution to watch Thursday's game is the old DC standby: a "source lunch" – as long as the lunch spot has a TV and at least one piece of news or gossip is exchanged.
"We're expecting people will take an extended lunch break or take half a day off from work," said Randy Beck, the banquet manager at Hawk 'N Dove, a Capitol Hill restaurant. "We already have 50 reservations, and they all have a note saying, 'can you seat us near the tv?'"
The Capitol Hill restaurant has two levels with eight large television screens, and Mr. Beck said the staff plans to deal with dramatically heightened demand by serving only drink specials and finger food. (Washington's City Paper has a map of where to watch the World Cup.)
Another big expected draw is a USA-Germany viewing party at Dupont Circle, thrown by the German embassy and organizer Dupont Festival. There will be two big TVs, each 12 1/2 feet wide and 7 1/2 feet tall, a spokesperson from the embassy said, adding that the screens will be weather-proof and glare proof.
People are ALREADY camped out at Dupont Circle for US v Germany. pic.twitter.com/Mty1ZhIlaZ
— Jessica Stahl (@jrstahl) June 26, 2014
DuPont Festival hosted a similar gathering at the circle for the World Cup in 2010.
(Meanwhile, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power has challenged the German mission to the U.N. to a beer bet on the winner. )
Others say they'll try to multitask. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) plans to watch the game from his office off of the Senate floor, an aide said.
That way, he can dash back to the floor if needed to advance Senate legislative business. (With the Senate bogged down in a fight over whether the legislative process allows enough votes on amendments, the odds are high that Mr. Reid will be able to devote his time to Thursday's game.)
Officially, the Senate has a vote on a judge scheduled at noon and six more nominees, including two ambassadors, scheduled at 1:45. But five of those nominees might be quickly approved on a voice vote, leaving more time for – legislating, of course.
At the Brookings Institution, a think tank across town, the match will be screened at one of the institution's large auditoriums, and staff will be permitted to watch the match on an in-house server.
"Please do not go to outside websites, such as espn.com as a large uptick in video bandwidth usage over our ISP link will interfere with staff's ability to work," Helen Mohrman, Brookings's Chief Information Officer, wrote in a staff-wide email.
Still other employers are shuttering their operations, likely taking a more realistic stance on their employees' ability to concentrate while the match airs.
Farm-to-shop grocer Smucker Farms of Lancaster Co., which operates on Washington's booming 14th Street strip, announced that it will be closed from 11:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. so employees can take in the game.
Felicia Schwartz and Kristina Peterson contributed to this article.
Correction: The U.S. plays Germany at noon. The initial headline of the article incorrectly referred to the match as USA-England.

Plasmonics ramp up nanocrystal photosensor performance
Reporting their results in the journal Nanotechnology, researchers have developed plasmonically coupled light-sensitive skins of nanocrystal monolayers that exhibit sensitivity enhancement and spectral range extension thanks to metallic nanostructures embedded in the photosensitive nanocrystal platform.
As the team from Bilkent University and Nanyang Technological University explains, plasmonic silver nanoparticles within the device increase the optical absorption of a CdTe nanocrystal monolayer. Controlled separation of these metallic nanoparticles in the vicinity of the semiconductor nanocrystals enables optimization of the photovoltage buildup in the device.
The enhancement factor was found to depend on the excitation wavelength. The scientists observed broadband sensitivity improvement (across 400–650 nm), with a 2.6-fold enhancement factor around the localized plasmon resonance peak.
Technology impact
The team's findings have significant implications for the future design of photosensing platforms. These results could pave the way for the engineering of photosensitive NC-based devices such as smart transparent windows, light-sensitive walls and large-surface optical detection systems.
More information on this work can be found in the journal Nanotechnolgy.

|Due to its ozone-depleting potential, halon 1301 (CF3Br) has been banned from production under the Montreal Protocol. The research for halon replacement(s) has led to the reconsideration of using water in certain applications. However, under cold storage conditions (below 0DGC) water will freeze, thus posing a limitation in low temperature operations. Certain additives, if selected properly, not only can suppress the freezing point of water but also can improve its fire suppression effectiveness. Some water-based agents have recently been proven to be more effective than pure water when used in the form of mist to suppress a small JP-8 pool fire. Among the thirteen agents they tested, potassium lactate (60% w/w) and potassium acetate (60% w/w) were found to be far superior than pure water and other candidate solutions.

Passengers onboard the plane intercepted by Turkish jets said that security forces were making the crew and passengers sign fraudulent papers suggesting that the plane made an emergency landing and no Turkish military were involved in the incident.
Hours after Turkish authorities announced that the Syrian Airlines passenger plane intercepted by its F-16s was granted a departure clearance, the aircraft remained on the tarmac in darkness.
"Four people onboard have been beaten up, two crew and two passengers, as they tried to force them to sign documents," Sherin Azis, a hostess on the plane, told RT by phone. "We don't know what these papers are about. We are scared for the fate of the captain. He was taken away and threatened with arrest if he does not sign an emergency landing paper."
Fatima al-Saman, a passenger and a mother of three, also told RT that the captain was being forced to sign a release stating that military planes were not involved and the plane just made an emergency landing.
"If we do not agree to these terms, they will take the captain kind of hostage," al-Saman said. "They are threatening us. The captain has now returned and said that 'either I sign the document that I made an emergency landing or they are taking me hostage.'"
The plane has been surrounded by people in masks who have detained all the cargo and were looking through what looked like boxes with documents, passengers said. The Turkish authorities were interested in some spare parts, which a businessman bought in Russia and was transporting to Syria, al-Saman said. She said that as far as she could tell, they were clearly not weapons.
"They started unloading some packages. They opened them, took pictures. There were many people. We all saw what was in there. There were no weapons. You could see it with an unaided eye!" she said. "They just had some spare parts and papers – objects, but there were no rockets. It is all a lie.
"The captain himself did not even know why the plane was ordered down, al-Saman said. She added that the search involved only luggage, and the passengers were mainly ignored by the Turks.
"Everyone is ignoring us, making it seem like we do not exist," she said. "The Russian Consulate did not get back to us. A lady has called one of the passengers and told her that the [embassy staff] are not being allowed to enter the airport territory. They have led us out of the plane where we kept asking for help, but everyone seems to ignore us."

Ginger: These are the same e-mails that Hillary claimed she would freely share, and has nothing to hide, yet tried to delete using Bleach Bit in an attempt to permanently delete and destroy the e-mails so they could never be recovered. Interesting. Now that some have been recovered, we need to find out what was so important that Hillary wanted them never to be seen. I find it amazing how Hillary and Obama both try to claim to be so transparent, yet both are the most least transparent, corrupt, lying politicians ever.

What is REAL? asked the Rabbit one day. Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle? Real isn't how you are made, said the Skin Horse. It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with but really loves you, then you become real. Does it hurt? asked the Rabbit. Sometimes, said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you are Real you don't mind being hurt. Does it happen all at once like being wound up, he asked, or bit by bit? It doesn't happen all at once, said the Skin Horse. You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints, and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has caught the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season. Must a man then be one of these, who in a manner acts thus without observing it? Yes. What more dost thou want when thou hast done a man a service? Art thou not content that thou hast done something conformable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing, or the feet should demand a recompense for walking?

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.

Four Years of Giving Back
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) events are what keep our passion going for team building. Sure, all of our events are a ton of fun, but to be able to give back to our local communities in events like the Bicycle Build-Off, Operation Impact, and Jam Session, is the ultimate experience in team building.
It's the amazing moments that teams remember and talk about for years. Like when this little girl chose her brand-new teddy bear at an Operation Teddy Bear event. When asked if this was the first bear she has ever had, she responded, "It's the first new toy that I have ever gotten that's all mine." She hugged it this close for the rest of the event and never let go.
Or when deserving high-school students who thought they were competing against each other for the grand prize of one new musical instrument in our Jam Session event, find out that in fact they are all getting brand new instruments that day – and are brought to tears.
And especially when kids from a local organization like After-School All-Stars, arrive to a Bicycle Build-Off event not knowing that they will be going home that day with a brand-new bike. Remember when you got your first bike as a child? Well, imagine thinking as that child, that you knew you would never get a bike of your own and suddenly a brand-new one is given to you. It's amazing and it is Corporate Social Responsibility events with R&D Events.
1% for the Planet
Giving back doesn't end at our CSR events. In the past 4 years we think one of our most amazing accomplishments is donating $18,477 to 1% for the Planet. We are a company founded with the belief that sustainability and taking care of our earth are key principles of business.
Currently, the funds go to support the Friends of Nevada Wilderness to keep "Nevada Wild" and the Adventure Risk Challenge that connects youth to the outdoors and our environment through academics.
It's been an amazing four years of giving. We can't wait to see what the next four bring!

AbstractThis work presents a variant approach to the monocular SLAM problem focused in exploiting the advantages of a human-robot interaction (HRI) framework. Based upon the delayed inverse-depth feature initialization SLAM (DI-D SLAM), a known monocular technique, several but crucial modifications are introduced taking advantage of data from a secondary monocular sensor, assuming that this second camera is worn by a human. The human explores an unknown environment with the robot, and when their fields of view coincide, the cameras are considered a pseudo-calibrated stereo rig to produce estimations for depth through parallax. These depth estimations are used to solve a related problem with DI-D monocular SLAM, namely, the requirement of a metric scale initialization through known artificial landmarks. The same process is used to improve the performance of the technique when introducing new landmarks into the map. The convenience of the approach taken to the stereo estimation, based on SURF features matching, is discussed. Experimental validation is provided through results from real data with results showing the improvements in terms of more features correctly initialized, with reduced uncertainty, thus reducing scale and orientation drift. Additional discussion in terms of how a real-time implementation could take advantage of this approach is provided.

LAS VEGAS — Middleweight J'Leon Love, of Michigan, rose from a sixth-round knockdown to win an unpopular split decision over Gabriel Rosado, of Philadelphia, on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
A 25-year-old who now lives in Las Vegas, Love (16-0, 8 knockouts) was coming off February's unanimous decision over Chicago's Derek Findley, and faced Rosado as part of the Showtime Pay Per View-televised WBC welterweight title fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Robert Guerrero.
Love won, 95-94 and 97-92 on the respective cards of judges Dave Moretti and Herb Santos, with judge Glenn Trowbridge scoring it for Rosado, 95-94.
"I just fought a guy that has world championnship experience. I thought I put up a good fight, and it was good experience for me to fight somebody like that. I got dropped with a shot that I did not see. He caught me when I didn't see the punch. But a round aftter that, I stepped it up and had to fight back," said Love.
"I was proud of my performance, because when you get hurt like that, it takes something extra to come back and to be able to fight. I knew I had to turn it up after that to win the fight. I felt I did what I had to do to win. I'm only 16-0, and I was in against a world-class fighter with a lot of experience. I'm going to go home and watch the tape and learn a lot from this fight. We can do it again if he wants to so we all know who the clear winner is."
Rosado (21-7, 13 KOs) was trying to bounce back from January's bloody seventh-round stoppage loss to WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin. Rosado entered his bout with Golovkin with a run of seven straight victories, five of them by knockout.
"I can't control the judges. My performance spoke volumes," said Rosado. "I don't think that I have to prove myself against him again, but I will fight him again if I have to."
Love was one of five of the fighters promoted by Mayweather on the card, all of whom have relocated to Las Vegas.
The first of Mayweather's boxers, super middleweight Lanell Bellows (4-0-1, 4 KOs), scored a fourth-round knockout over Matthew Garretson (2-1, 1 KO). Next up was light heavyweight Badou Jack (14-0, 10 KOs) earning a third-round TKO over Michael Gbenga (13-8, 13 KOs).
In yet another super middleweight matchup, Luis Arias (5-0, 3 KOs) came away with a six-round majority decision over DonYil Livingston (8-3-1, 4 KOs). Arias won, 58-56, 58-55, and 57-57.
Also, super middleweight Ronald Gavril (4-0, 3 KOs) scored his second consecutive knockout victory, doing so in the third round against Roberto Yong (5-7-2, 4 KOs).

Ghana Give Back Published:
Aug 23, 2016
The REACH program has donated lots of gear to Ghana Rush over the past few years. Recently, Ghana Rush were able to pass along the favor with a donation of soccerballs for the Inter-Regional School Sports Festival.
From Ghanasoccernet.com, author Sheikh Tophic Sienu:
Rush Soccer, a U.S based soccer academy has supported the 2016 edition of the annual Inter-Regional School Sports Festival with twenty footballs. The Country Director of Rush Soccer Frank Oppong and their Technical Director, George Lamptey did the presentation at the office of the National Physical Education/Sports Coordinator in Accra on Friday 19th August 2016. During the event, Frank Oppong who doubles as the Sporting Director of Swedru All Blacks acknowledged the need to support football development at the basic level to ensure sustainable development.
"We at Rush Soccer see the need to support the development of football through education. It is our aim to help the development of the game round the world," he said. "We had the notice at the eleventh hour hence our inability to give more balls but we believe that our association with the Ghana Education Service and the Sports Directorate will see more of such support from our end," he added. Receiving the items, the National Director of Physical Education, Mr. Emmanuel Dormenyah lauded the effort of Rush describing it as 'timely'. "This is a timely intervention. I took office barely eight months ago and this tournament is just about a week to start. I have really been thinking about how to get all the equipment for the event," he said. "So this effort by Rush is really timely and we hope to build a strong collaboration with them from now," he added. The Inter-Regional School Sports Festival will be hosted in Sunyani from the 26th of August to 4th September this year.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic disorders affecting more than two million Americans. The inflammation or ulceration in the small and large intestines associated with these diseases impairs patients' quality of life by causing debilitating symptoms. People are most often diagnosed with IBD in their late teens to early 20s, but may develop the condition at any age. IBD affects women and men equally.
The two most common types of IBD are:
- Ulcerative colitis: an inflammation of the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon or bowel) and/or rectum.
- Crohn's disease: an inflammation that usually involves the lining and walls of the small intestine, most often the lower part called the "ileum." It may also affect the large intestine and other parts of the digestive system and can spread deep into the tissue.
Care for patients with IBD at the Center for Advanced Digestive Care of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center is delivered through The Jill Roberts Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Patients can receive comprehensive assessment, education, psychosocial support, and a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Our surgeons are highly skilled at performing the techniques needed to help patients with IBD who cannot achieve adequate relief of their symptoms through nonsurgical approaches.
Our goal is to help patients achieve wellness and a high quality of life while living with IBD.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptoms and Diagnosis
- X-rays: To see what is happening in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, your doctor may use a series of x-rays called a "GI series." To view the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (upper GI series), your doctor will ask you to drink a liquid containing barium that coats your GI tract, allowing it to be seen on an x-ray. To view the rectum, large intestine, and lower small intestine, you may receive a barium enema, called a lower GI series, which is given through your rectum.
- Upper endoscopy (EGD): We may use a procedure that allows the physician to examine the inside of the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (upper part of the small intestine).
- Sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy: Your doctor uses these procedures to view either the lower part of your large intestine (sigmoid colon) or your entire large intestine to look for inflammation or bleeding. Both procedures use a thin flexible tube inserted into your rectum with a camera at the end. If necessary, the doctor may take a small tissue sample (biopsy) from the lining of the intestine to examine under a microscope.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment
Dietary Changes
Lifestyle Changes
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Medications
- Anti-inflammatory agents: Aminosalicylates like 5-ASA are aspirin-like anti-inflammatory agents often used as the first drug therapy for patients with early-stage IBD.
- Steroids such as prednisone are typically used to treat patients with moderate to severe disease and reduce symptoms that have continued despite other treatments. However, because steroids do not maintain remission and have side effects, we discuss strategies with patients to limit or avoid their use.
- Antibiotics and probiotics used to treat Crohn's disease may also have a role in effectively treating some forms of colitis.
- Immunosuppressants help to reduce inflammation and maintain remission by lowering the immune response, which is heightened in patients with IBD.
- Biologic therapies have proven to be effective treatments and include Remicade®, Humira®, and Cimzia®, as well as newer drugs such as Tysabri®.
Infusion Therapy
- Biologic therapies such as Remicade
- Ion infusions for IBD-associated anemia
- Stem cell infusion therapy
- Medications for controlling chronic pain
- Intravenous hydration therapy
- Nutrition therapy
- Resection: Removal of diseased tissue, typically for patients with isolated disease that affects only a small area of the intestine.
- Strictureplasty: Short areas of disease and narrowing caused by scar tissue are often treated with a bowel-sparing procedure called strictureplasty. A strictureplasty does not remove the diseased segment of the bowel, but opens the narrowing in a way that restores the flow of intestinal contents and allows nutrients to be absorbed. Sometimes the surgeon needs to perform multiple strictureplasties in a single operation if several areas of the small intestine are diseased.
- Post-operative therapies: After an initial resection, many patients require additional surgery for inflammation in new areas of the bowel. Our gastroenterologists use early intervention, including postoperative therapies to prevent recurrence.
- Ileostomy: The end of the small intestine is surgically disconnected from the large intestine and then used to create an opening, or stoma, on the surface of the abdomen, through which waste is emptied. The patient wears an external bag over the opening.
- Ileoanal pouch procedure (ileoanal anastomosis or J-pouch): This procedure creates an internal pouch from part of the small intestine which provides a storage place for stool in the absence of the large intestine, allowing the patient to pass waste through the anus in a normal manner and avoiding the need for an external bag. Some studies suggest that fertility may be decreased after an ileoanal pouch procedure, possibly as a result of internal scarring. However, women of child-bearing age have spontaneously conceived and given birth successfully after this procedure. The laparoscopic techniques used by surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell reduce the amount of internal scarring.

Working from home provides many people all over the United States with the flexibility to juggle other parts of their life and maybe even earn some extra money. As a collector working from home, you would need to get in contact with debtors by mail and telephone to try and collect payment.
However, many states do require you to be licensed, so you want to check with the state/federal regulatory agencies to find out if you are required to be licensed to work at home. Also, you must check with your employer to see if working from home is a viable option.
