For Immediate Release
April 22, 2006
ICCIE starts '06 with jump in enrollment,
more Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) recipients,
and an endorsement from the Cayman Islands
Burlington , VT -- The International Center for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE) finished the first quarter of 2006 with increased enrollment, more ACI designees, and a new endorsement from the Cayman Islands .
In Jan.-March of 2006 ICCIE enrolled 17 new designation students, compared to 6 over the same period in 2005 (in other words, a 283% increase this year).
The new enrollees came from the Cayman Islands (3), Vermont (2), Pennsylvania (2), and several other states, as well as England and St. Kitts.
Several students last quarter also enrolled in individual courses only, including two students from Bermuda, one from Vermont and S. Carolina, and one from Switzerland .
Four ICCIE enrollees recently earned the ACI designation. They are:
Jim Wrynn, an attorney with MacKay, Wrynn and Brady in New York ;
Paula Audibert and Cindy Lyford, both captive managers with USA Risk Group in VT; and
Diane Martin, of American Power Conversion in Rhode Island .
The recent ACI recipients bring the total number of ACI designees to 8, with about 25-30 other students one course away from completing the program. About 90 students have enrolled in ICCIE as ACI designation students to date, with another 60 students participating as single course (modular) students.
The Insurance Managers' Association of Cayman (IMAC) recent gave an official endorsement of ICCIE and the Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) professional designation. IMAC Education Committee members met with ICCIE Executive Director Mitch Cantor in 2005 to get all the details about the program and recently met to officially put their stamp of approval on the program.
I am excited about the educational opportunities that the ICCIE program offers to those in the captive insurance industry, as I believe it will benefit both the captive insurance manager and our service providers. We will be encouraging those in the industry here in the Cayman Islands to take full advantage of this program and we look forward to its long term success, says Monique Jackson, chair of IMAC's Education Committee.

Mexican pulp art has grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to the efforts of vendors and collectors. It differs from U.S. pulp in that it was produced decades later—during the 1970s and forward. The covers you see here today are prime examples of what is generally classified as Mexican pulp, made for the comic book series El libro policiaco, or "The Police Book," and published by Novedades Editores during the early 2000s. The series was so popular that, like the U.S. television show C.S.I., the books diversified into multiple cities—New Orleans, New York City, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco. Each city's stories centered around a local police department staffed by a multi-ethnic array of cops and support personnel. And as the banner text proclaims, the interior art was indeed in color, ninety-two pages of it per issue. All the covers here were created by Jorge Aviña, an artist who began his career during the 1970s, and has had his work exhibited in London, Switzerland, Barcelona, and Paris. We'll have more from El libro policiaco a bit later.

Fisk's sales materials boast that not only could his burial cases be drained of air, aiding preservation, but—if one chose—filled with any type of atmosphere or fluid. Just a year after he displayed them at those New York exhibitions, former U.S. Vice-President and Secretary of State John C. Calhoun died and was buried in one. The publicity caused a wave of nationwide interest that prompted Fisk to license his expensive invention to other companies. Eventually, Crane, Breed & Co., of Cincinnati and New Orleans acquired a license, and made coffins sporting the types of viewing windows featured on the San Francisco discovery.
What will happen the little girl's body is still unknown. San Francisco ordinances make her the property owner's responsibility. Reburial has been mentioned by said property owner, but we'd be surprised if anthropologists didn't get a look at the girl first. Autopsies on bodies ofthat age have uncovered troves of data about diet, disease, and more. Afterward she can be laid to rest somewhere well out of the way of San Francisco's ongoing makeover into millionaire Disneyland.

CRANSTON, R.I. - Belcourt of Newport, owned by Alex and Ani designer Carolyn Rafaelian, has withdrawn its request to the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation for money to help pay for a solar photovoltaic system in the historic Belcourt Castle.
Belcourt Castle, which Rafaelian purchased in 2012 for $3.6 million, had a request before the EDC last month for $18,504.79, or 20 percent of the cost for the solar project.
The EDC board did not vote on the matter at its October meeting and had anticipated considering the application at its next meeting, which is Thursday at 5 p.m., EDC spokeswoman Melissa Czerwein said Tuesday. But the EDC received notice Monday, Czerwein said, that Belcourt of Newport was withdrawing its application.
Rafaelian, who is the majority shareholder of Alex and Ani, told The Providence Journal on Tuesday that news reports about the request for money from the state's Renewable Energy Fund had caught her off guard. She said the small company with which she had contracted to do the solar project on the castle put forth the request to the EDC without her knowledge. She had been working with Stuart Flanagan, the owner of Newport Renewables, on the project.
"Once I found out what was going on, I immediately told them to withdraw this because this is not something that we do," Rafaelian said.
Alex and Ani CEO Giovanni Feroce said news reports about the request upset him considerably, and he spoke immediately with Rafaelian.
"And she assured me there was no process in which our involvement had us as part of the application," he said.

Home run king Barry Bonds is being tried on charges he lied to a federal grand jury when he said he never knowingly took steroids. Follow Mercury News reporter Howard Mintz's account of the trial in this live blog from the San Francisco courtroom.
8:22 a.m.: Closing arguments due to begin soon
Closing arguments are set to begin shortly in the Barry Bonds perjury trial. The courtroom is packed for the crucial day. U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag is sitting in the front row of the gallery on the prosecution side, while Bonds' supporters have the front row on the other side, including his mother, Pat Bonds, who has been at the trial every day, and superagent Scott Boras, Bonds' agent.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Parrella is likely to start the proceedings with his argument.
9:13 a.m.: Closing arguments delayed as lawyers, judge has out jury instructions
Closing arguments have been delayed, as there has been a bit of uncertainty surrounding the jury instructions. The lawyers and judge continue to hash out some differences on the legal instructions.
9:31 a.m.: Bonds lawyer strenuously objects to one jury instruction
Before the judge began instructing the jury, Dennis Riordan, one of Bonds' lawyers, objected strenuously to the instruction on the obstruction of justice count against Bonds, which enables the jury to find him guilty based on four separate statements. Some of those statements appear loosely tethered to the allegations that Bonds lied to a federal grand jury in December 2003 about using steroids.
For example, one of the statements covers the following response to a question about whether Bonds had ever been given anything from trainer Greg Anderson that required a syringe.
"That's what keeps our friendship," Bonds replied in rambling fashion. "You know, I am sorry, but that--you know that--I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own instincts. I became a celebrity child, with a famous father. I just don't get into other people's business because of my father's situation, you see...."
Riordan argued that the jury could clear Bonds of allegations connected to steroids and injections and, under the instruction, convict him of a felony through that statement, at least in theory. Quoting Karl Marx and his famous statement that history repeats itself twice, first as tragedy and then as farce, Riordan said such a conviction would be "utterly a farce."
Prosecutor Matt Parrella, already spoiling for a venomous closing, derided Riordan's argument. "As for the quotation from Marx," Parrella scoffed, "it's lucky we don't live in communist Russia."
The judge continues to instruct the jurors.
9:39 a.m.: Details on jury instructions
In the jury instructions, it is clear prosecutors have several layers to prove, beyond whether Bonds may have lied to the grand jury. The jury must not only find Bonds' testimony was false, but also that he knew it was false and "material" to the grand jury investigating the Balco steroids scandal. The judge has instructed the jury that the misleading statement would be material to the grand jury if it "had a natural tendency to influence, or was capable of influencing, the decision of the grand
9:46 a.m.: Prosecutor: "All he had to do was tell the truth"
Turns out that prosecutor Jeff Nedrow is handling the closing for the government, not colleague Matt Parrella. He started out simply: "All he had to do was tell the truth."
"He was given every opportunity to tell the truth," Nedrow continued, stressing that Barry Bonds had immunity for testifying in the Balco grand jury.
9:54 a.m.: Prosecutor says Bonds lied because he had "a powerful secret"
Prosecutor Jeff Nedrow told the jury that Bonds' deceit tarnished the justice system's quest for truth, and that he lied to the grand jury because "he had a secret, a powerful secret." Bonds, the prosecutor insisted, was taking steroids for his profession, and wanted to hide it from his father, the Giants, everyone. "He had a concern it would taint whatever athletic accomplishments he had managed to achieve during his career," Nedrow said.
The prosecutor then called Bonds' insistence that he did not know what he was getting from trainer Greg Anderson as "implausible on its face," an athlete making $17 million per year "doesn't know what he's taking."
Nedrow is now walking through the government's witnesses, from Kathy Hoskins to Steve Hoskins, recounting Bonds' steroid use. And he's cited Kim Bell, who testified Bonds told her his 1999 elbow injury was caused by steroids and described his physical changes ranging from increased muscles to his "genitalia."
10:12 a.m: Prosecutor Nedrow reviews to show Anderson was a "steroid dealer"
Even though Greg Anderson, Bonds' former personal trainer, long ago pleaded guilty to steroid distribution charges, prosecutor Jeff Nedrow is taking time to convict him again before the Barry Bonds jury. He's walking through the evidence seized from Anderson's house during the raids on Balco, listing the items found from HGH and steroids to large syringes. Nedrow shows the jury baggies full of items such as "the cream" and "the clear," to illustrate that Anderson was a "steroid dealer."
Nedrow argues that Bonds lied to the grand jury in part to protect Anderson, his "childhood friend." Of course, the prosecutor cannot tell the jury that Anderson today remains in jail for refusing to testify in the trial, also protecting his childhood friend.
10:25 a.m.: Steve Hoskins was Bonds' "right hand man" for years, prosecutor says
Prosecutor Jeff Nedrow is now taking the jury through the government's key witnesses, and is not shying away from former Bonds associate Steve Hoskins, who is likely to get a bashing from Bonds' defense lawyers when they take their turn.
Nedrow, however, portrays Hoskins as a close friend of Bonds, who was trusted by Bonds, that he was Bonds' "right hand man" for years. Hoskins testified that he saw Bonds and Anderson emerge from a room numerous times, including one time the trainer was holding a syringe, and that the slugger told him his "butt was sore" from injections of steroids. And Nedrow also is sticking to Hoskins account that at least once he discussed Bonds and steroids with Dr. Arthur Ting, Bonds' orthopedic surgeon, who undercut Hoskins' claim that the two of them had "50" conversations about Bonds' use of steroids.
Now, Nedrow is replaying a secret recording Hoskins made of a conversation with Anderson in the Giants locker room in 2003. Nedrow told the jury there is no doubt Anderson is discussing injecting Bonds with steroids and how he approaches the task, as well as providing him with undetectable forms of steroids.
10:40 a.m.: Prosecutor says Bonds' belly button shot was human growth hormone
Finishing up on Steve Hoskins, prosecutor Jeff Nedrow insists that he was a credible witness, and tried to refute the defense argument he testified as a grudge against Bonds for cutting him out of his business affairs. Hoskins testified, the prosecutor recalled, that their relationship ended because Bonds was making so many demands on him that he had to choose between working for the ballplayer or his family. Defense lawyers say Bonds fired Hoskins because he believed he was cheating him out of money in a memorabilia business.
Nedrow has moved on to Kimberly Bell, Bonds' longtime mistress, and her account that Bonds told her about using steroids and that he underwent many physical changes. The prosecutor also pointed out Bell's testimony that Bonds became increasingly hostile, and "said angry, threatening, terrible things to her." Prosecutors maintain that such changes were attributable to "roid rage."
And finally, Nedrow focused on Kathy Hoskins' account that she saw Bonds get injected in the stomach by Greg Anderson. He told the jury there is no doubt it was an injection of human growth hormone.
Nedrow also shapes the testimony of other baseball players, including Jason Giambi, who told jurors they received steroids from Anderson. And these athletes knew they were getting undetectable steroids from Anderson, and were not in the dark about the substances being items such as "flaxseed oil," one of Bonds' claims in the grand jury, Nedrow said. "They knew the truth of what they were getting from Greg Anderson," he said.
10:56 a.m.: Prosecutor: Kathy Hoskins testimony is "direct evidence" that Bonds lied about shot
Prosecutor Jeff Nedrow is trying to exploit the one drug test they have that shows Bonds tested positive for steroids in a 2003 sample taken during Major League Baseball's drug testing program. The sample, retested in 2006, tested positive for steroids and clomid, the female fertility drug used to mask the side effects of steroids. The first count in the indictment, Nedrow told the jury, is supported by such evidence showing Bonds lied when he said "not that I know of" when asked if he'd ever used steroids. "Is it possible to have these items in your body, these powerful drugs, and not know?" Nedrow asked.
And the charge alleging Bonds lied about ever being injected by anyone other than doctors is backed up by the "direct evidence" of Kathy Hoskins' testimony, he told jurors. "Kathy Hoskins saw it," the prosecutor said, referring to her recollection of seeing Anderson inject Bonds in the stomach.
11:14 a.m.: Prosecutor says "common sense" points to conviction, defense will get their turn after a break
Prosecutor Jeff Nedrow has finished his closing argument, telling the jury "common sense" points to a conviction and asks for a guilty verdict. "Ask yourself," Nedrow kept repeateding, whether this "powerful, successful, professional athlete" would allow Greg Anderson to dose him with steroids and not know "what was in his body."
"He should be held accountable for these crimes," Nedrow told the jury. "All he had to do was tell the truth.
"He chose not to do it because he had to keep his secret."
The judge just took a short break, and the defense will present its closing argument. Prosecutor Matt Parrella will later present the government's final rebuttal argument.
11:37 a.m.: Bonds attorney says he's "never asked to be treated differently than anybody else"
Allen Ruby, Bonds' lawyer, has begun his closing argument, insisting that "Barry Bonds has never asked to be treated differently than anybody else.
"He not asking for any special breaks in this case," Ruby told the jury. And he proceeded to stress important the law will be for deciding the case, starting with the presumption of innocence.
11:58 a.m.: Bonds attorney says "there has been a complete failure of proof by the government"
Bonds lawyer Allen Ruby is hammering hard on a key element, telling the jury that the government has furnished no proof that Bonds' grand jury testimony in 2003 had any "material" impact on the grand jury's investigation into Balco. Prosecutors insist that agent Jeff Novitzky, the lead Balco investigator, provided a connection through his testimony, which discussed how Bonds' testimony impacted his probe. But Ruby stressed that "Mr. Novitzky is not the grand jury."
In fact, Ruby pointed out, the government did not even present evidence of what a grand jury does, much less what the Balco grand jury did, including how many indictments it returned. "There has been a complete failure of proof by the government," Ruby argued.
The jury must find Bonds' grand jury testimony was material to convict him on the perjury counts.
12:11 p.m.: Rubys says Bonds answered every question before grand jury
Bonds lawyer Allen Ruby has moved to Barry Bonds' grand jury testimony, saying the government was "cagey" in its questioning and "they don't get to do a "gotcha."
Ruby insisted that Bonds answered every question, never asked to speak to a lawyer, despite the fact prosecutors "clearly tried to intimidate him." But Bonds, Ruby argued, was not intimidated. "He wasn't. A lot of the venom in the government's pursuit here is that he was not intimidated. He was not subservient. He was Barry."
And, Ruby argued, if "highly trained" prosecutors thought Bonds was being evasive in his answers, "Then, c'mon, ask another question."
"He rambles," Ruby said. "But last time I checked, that isn't a crime."
12:19 p.m.: Ruby reiterates there is "no proof" Bonds wasn't truthful before grand jury
With another swipe at the government's evidence, Bonds lawyer Allen Ruby is using Bonds' grand jury testimony in an attempt to show he directly answered the government's questions about whether he knew the substances he was getting from Greg Anderson, "the cream" and the "clear," were steroids. Prosecutors told the jury this morning it is "implausible" for Bonds not to know, but Ruby pointed to an exchange with prosecutors in the grand jury room when he testified that he did indeed trust Anderson explicitly. "I put a lot of trust in a lot of people," Bonds told the grand jury. "We do as athletes."
"Where is the proof," Ruby boomed, that Barry Bonds is not leveling about this? There is no proof."
12:27 p.m.: Ruby says Bonds' positive drug test proves he told the truth
Bonds lawyer Allen Ruby is cleverly trying to demonstrate that Barry Bonds' positive drug test actually proves he was telling the truth to the grand jury about never knowingly using steroids.
Bonds was tested in May 2003 under Major League Baseball's drug testing program, and at first MLB found no steroids in the sample. Three years later, the government had it retested at the UCLA Olympic Lab, and it turned up positive for "the clear." (THG, or the clear, was not discovered by anti-doping experts until sometime in 2003 or later). Bonds, Ruby insisted, told the grand jury he was using a cream and a clear, he just did not know what they contained. Bonds, Ruby continued, denied using injectible steroids, and those drugs did not show up in the 2003 sample.
"Prosecutors don't get to wave that off," Ruby said.
12:28 p.m.: Lunch break, court to resume at 1 p.m.
The judge just broke for the 30-minute lunch break. Allen Ruby will continue his argument around 1 p.m.
1:15 p.m.: Ruby plans to attack Hoskins tape
Bonds attorney Allen Ruby has resumed his closing argument, and plans to attack the tape recording of a conversation between Steve Hoskins and Greg Anderson in the Giants locker room that prosecutors insist revolves around Bonds and steroids.
In the meantime, Ruby has pointed out that one of the perjury counts against Bonds (where he says he has not used steroids, "not that I know of") is cut off from the rest of his testimony, suggesting the allegation is entirely out of context.
"Perhaps it's surprising that a person like Barry Bonds...could go into a grand jury...." and have his testimony "chopped off" to "make it a crime."
1:23 p.m.: Bonds attorney Arguedas says prosecutors have power to "end careers and ruin lives"
Cris Arguedas, another of Bonds' lawyers, has taken the baton and will now argue for the defense, and most likely will be focused on highlighting credibility issues with the government's witnesses. "Has this evidence come to you in a way that you can trust it beyond a reasonable doubt?" she asked. These prosecutors have the power to "end careers and ruin lives," she continued.
1:30 p.m.: Arguedas: Prosecution evidence in case "unworthy of belief:
Bonds attorney Cris Arguedas doesn't waste time getting to her thesis. "The evidence in this case is unworthy of belief," she told the jury.
Arguedas quickly moves to the fact that federal investigators had a conflict of interest in their investigation, given a choice between Barry Bonds' complaint in 2003 that business associate Steve Hoskins was defrauding him and using Hoskins as a witness to "go after the very high-profile Barry Bonds."
Bonds went to the FBI with his allegations against Hoskins, but the feds two years later chose not to pursue the case. By that time, Hoskins had turned on Bonds, and defense lawyers say he did so as retaliation against Bonds.
2 p.m.: Bonds attorney points out sloppy record-keeping by government
Bonds attorney Cris Arguedas is spending a large chunk of time trying to raise questions about the origins of the tape, and digital recorder used, that depicts a conversation between Steve Hoskins and Greg Anderson in the Giants locker room in 2003. This includes pointing out the sloppy record-keeping and lack of a reliable chain of custody in the handling of the recorder by government investigators. Unclear whether this will hold much sway in the jury room, given the mountain of material jurors will have to consider.
Arguedas also is renewing concerns that federal agents failed to take (or turn over) contemporaneous notes of witnesses who turned out to be favorable in many respects to Bonds: Dr. Arthur Ting, his former orthopedic surgeon, and former Giants trainer Stan Conte, neither of whom testified to any direct knowledge of Bonds' alleged steroid use. It appears to be an attempt to show investigators played fast and loose with the rules to go after Bonds.
2:09 p.m.: Arguedas says government has proven nothing about side effects of steroids
Bonds attorney Cris Arguedas has previewed what fellow lawyer Allen Ruby will discuss later about Steve Hoskins and what Dr. Arthur Ting, Bonds' orthopedic surgeon, did to his testimony. Ting, Arguedas said, "utterly demolished the credibility of Steve Hoskins, if he had any."
But, more important Arguedas said, was Ting's testimony about the fact that Barry Bonds was using prescription corticosteroids throughout the period of time covered in the perjury case. And that all of the symptoms associated with anabolic steroids are caused by corticosteroids as well.
"How much time and money have they spent providing that Barry Bonds had acne...and bloating..and their most favorite subject, testicle shrinking," she told the jury. The government, she continued, has proven nothing about the side effects of steroids.
Prosecutor Matt Parrella interjected, raising an issue about jury nullification, and Arguedas shouted that she did not want the jury the decide the case on jury nullification, she wanted it "based on the law....based on the case they (the government) put on."
2:19 p.m.: Arguedas presents seven Giants physical exams showing Bonds' testicles were normal
Bonds attorney Cris Arguedas goes after the government's "preferred subject," the alleged shrinking of Barry Bonds' testicles from steroid use. She derides the whole topic, and puts up on a screen seven separate physical exams with the Giants, including in the 1999 to 2003 time frame, where his testicles were found to be "normal."
Apparently heading to her finish, Arguedas is now attacking the credibility of Kathy Hoskins, the prosecution witness who testified she saw Bonds get injected in the stomach by Greg Anderson. Arguedas maintains that Kathy Hoskins' account was devised to buttress her brother, Steve Hoskins, whom the defense lawyer said was "auditioning" with the feds to peddle his story to avoid prosecution for cheating Bonds out of money.
"The government relies repeatedly on the testimony of Kathy Hoskins. She is the witness most compromised by the government's investigative methods," Arguedas told the jury.
2:27 p.m.: Arguedas says the government is wasting everybody's time by pursuing case
Bonds attorney Cris Arguedas, her voice rising and breaking, then turns to the topic of Bonds' ex-mistress Kimberly Bell...and, again, testicles, using the subject to argue that the government is wasting everyone's time with the perjury case. Arguedas tells the jury she was heading home last night, and heard on the radio that the federal government may shut down, "And what am I doing? I'm preparing a closing argument about whether (she) committed perjury" about the size of Bonds' testicles. She blasted prosecutors for trying to justify Bell's waffling.
"This government in its zeal to go after Barry Bonds will forgive anybody, anything," Arguedas told the jury, finishing by imploring them to reject the government's case. She walked back to the defense table, almost trembling, and gave a visible "whew."
Bonds lawyer Allen Ruby is now back before the jury.
2:41 p.m.: Ruby: Government wants to "corroborate one bad witness with another"
Bonds attorney Allen Ruby is rolling along. He dismisses the Hoskins-Anderson tape as having nothing to do with Bonds and steroids. "There's not a word about performance enhancing drugs, or any juice, or any shots or anything like that," Ruby said, citing passages about Hoskins and Anderson bantering about ways for Bonds to "hit better."
And he one by one laughs off the credibility of the government's witnesses, saying that prosecutors have no corroboration for any of their theories about perjury. "What the government does is they want to corroborate one bad witness with another."
And to illustrate one point, he goes after the suggestion Bonds' head grew as a result of steroid use. "This business about Barry's head getting bigger, to use a legal term, is stupid," he tells the jury.
Ruby wraps up by showing the elements the jury must find to back the government's case. "There has not been such proof beyond a reasonable doubt...when the government forms alliances with some of the (types) of people here, things can go haywire."
Prosecutor Matt Parrella will now give a rebuttal argument for the government.
3:02 p.m.: Prosecutor: Defense never said Bonds isn't a steroid user
Prosecutor Matt Parrella is now rebutting the defense's closing argument. "They failed to argue the only full, total, honest true possible defense here. They never argued that Barry Bonds never took steroids. They never said my client isn't a steroid user...
"Do you think they forgot?" Parrella scoffed. "I don't think so."
Parrella is shifting to trying to counteract the defense argument that Bonds' testimony, even if false, was not material to the Balco grand jury investigation. The prosecutor stressed that Bonds was well aware the grand jury was probing Greg Anderson, Balco mastermind Victor Conte and others, and that it was clear where the government "was going" in its grand jury questions.
3:10 p.m.: Prosecutor says Hoskins tape is irrefutable evidence
Prosecutor Matt Parrella is arguing that the tape recording of the conversation between Steve Hoskins and trainer Greg Anderson in the Giants locker room in 2003 is irrefutable evidence of a discussion about Bonds, injections and steroids. "It's clear as the day," the prosecutor told the jury, referring to an exchange where Hoskins asks Anderson if that's why he shoots "it" in Barry's butt, and Anderson replies that he always "moves it around" and never puts "it" in the same place.
"We might not have Greg Anderson in this courtroom, but we have his statements," Parrella said, the closest a lawyer has come to addressing the trial apparition that is Greg Anderson.
"They are in his locker," Parrella continued, referring to where the conversation took place. "Who else are they talking about. They're talking about him."
3:22 p.m.: Prosecutor trying to neutralize attack on Steve Hoskins and Bell
Prosecutor Matt Parrella acknowledges to the jury that Dr. Arthur Ting, Bonds' orthopedic surgeon, testified in many ways "favorable" to Bonds, but the government called him anyway because they have "nothing to hide." He pointed out that Ting corroborated Steve Hoskins on one point, acknowledging he supplied him with literature on steroids in 1999. Hoskins testified he went to Ting because Bonds urged him to find out about the side effects of a steroid.
Bonds, around that time, had elbow surgery that ex-mistress Kimberly Bell testified he attributed to steroid use.
"Let's see, what happened to the defendant in 1999," Parrella asked. "He had a tendon injury that Dr. Ting testified could possibly be caused by anabolic steroid use."
And the prosecutor is trying to neutralize the attack on two of the government's chief witnesses, Steve Hoskins and Bell. Parrella stresses that the government did not choose Hoskins, it was Bonds, who trusted him for years. "Again," he said later, "we didn't pick Kim Bell. He picked her....and he stayed with her for nine years, through two marriages."
Bell, Parrella pounded away, told the truth about Bonds' steroid use. "All (the defense) could do is mock Kim Bell, all they could do is rage at her," he told the jury.
3:37 p.m.: Prosecutor: Former trainer gave revealing testimony
Prosecutor Matt Parrella told the jury that an important piece of evidence was testimony from former Giants trainer Stan Conte, who recounted a conversation with Bonds in his office in October 2003, shortly after the raids on Balco. Conte testified that Bonds came to his office and expressed concerns about the raid and the government's pursuit of Greg Anderson, and Parrella pointed out that it was clear evidence Bonds was well aware at that time that Anderson was a steroid dealer. The conversation took place two months before Bonds' grand jury appearance.
"It is one of the most revealing things in this entire case," the prosecutor insisted.
3:50 p.m.: Prosecutor: "Every athlete who took the stuff, knew what it was"; jury now deliberating
Prosecutor Matt Parrella is wrapping up, again telling the jury that Barry Bonds lied to "protect his secret," that he was using steroids. He debunked Bonds' argument that he didn't the "cream" and "the clear" were steroids. "Every athlete who took the stuff, knew what it was," he said. "That's why they took it."
Parrella likened Bonds to a teenager who comes home "glassy-eyed" on a Saturday night, drunk, and when asked, "were you drinking," replies: "Not that I know of."
Calling the case ironic because it involves allegations of using a drug to make athletes stronger, Parrella finished: "When he was in the grand jury, he was too weak to tell the truth, despite all the anabolic steroids."
"It's impossible to believe the defendant's story," the prosecutor concluded.
The jury has now been sent into deliberations.

The Daily Start-Up: BioStar Gears Up to Raise Third Fund
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
BioStar Ventures, which has sold positions in several medical-device holdings of late, plans to seek $100 million to $150 million for its third fund late this year or early in 2013. The partners hope recent successes will enable the firm to raise more for BioStar Ventures III LP than it did for fund two, which closed in 2010 at $38.6 million, according to Managing Director Steven L. Almany.
VMware has agreed to acquire DynamicOps to give its customers more options for managing a mix of public and private clouds from different vendors. DynamicOps spun out of Credit Suisse Group in 2008 and had raised about $27 million in funding from investors including Credit Suisse, Sierra Ventures, Next World Capital and Intel Capital, according to DynamicOps CEO Rich Krueger.

Home Alone 3

Home Alone 3 is the third film in the Home Alone movies written and produced by John Hughes. The film is directed by Raja Gosnell, who served as the editor of both original films, and stars Alex D. Linz as Alex Pruitt, a resourceful boy who is left home alone and has to defend his home from four international robbers.
One year after the events of the first two films, four internationally wanted criminals named Peter Beaupre (Aleksander Krupa), Earl Unger (David Thornton), Burton Jernigan (Lenny Von Dohlen) and Alice Ribbons (Rya Kihlstedt), have stolen a valuable missile cloaking computer chip for a North Korean terrorist group. They put it inside a toy remote control car to sneak it past security. At San Francisco International Airport, however, Mrs. Hess (Marian Seldes) accidentally takes the bag with the remote control car in it.
The four thieves arrive in Chicago and systematically search every house in Mrs. Hess' neighborhood to find the chip. Eight-year-old Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) is given the remote control car by Mrs. Hess for shovelling snow, and soon becomes ill with the chicken pox and must stay home. While at home, Alex sees the thieves through his telescope and calls the police. However, the thieves leave Mrs. Hess' house by the time the police come.
After Alex reports the thieves again, they still manage to get away, and the police do not believe him (which is similar to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"). Alex decides to take matters into his own hands, and mounts a camera on his remote control car, attempting to film some footage of the thieves (who are searching in every house to find the chip). He is successful in filming Beaupre, but the remote control car is discovered before it can get away, and Beaupre takes the tape. Wondering what the thieves want with a remote control car, Alex opens it and discovers the stolen chip. He immediately calls Chicago's Air Force Recruitment Center and informs them about the chip.
The thieves find out that Alex has the chip and decide to go after him. They block off the road to the house, and Alice duct tapes Mrs. Hess to a porch chair in her garage and leaves the door open. By this point, Alex has armed the house with more violent booby traps. After several break-in attempts, they pursue Alex. Alex runs to the attic and goes into the dumbwaiter down to the basement, and runs outside. Afterwards, he calls to Alice, Jernigan and Unger.
When they hear Alex, they rush over to the window and notice him before their attention is grabbed by a trampoline below them. Jernigan and Unger jump, but the trampoline gives way and they fall into a frozen pool. Alice then wriggles her way into the dumbwaiter chute, but falls down to the basement.
Alex finally rescues Mrs. Hess, and is cornered by Beaupre, but scares him off with a fake gun. Meanwhile, the FBI, who has also been tracking the chip, goes to Alex's school after being tipped off by the Air Force. Alex's family brings the agents to their house, where the police arrest Alice, Jernigan and Unger. The family and the police apologize to Alex for not believing him earlier, and Agent Stuckey thanks him for his help.
However, Beaupre manages to escape and hides in the snow fort in the backyard. Alex's brother Stan's pet parrot drives the remote control car into the snow fort and threatens to light fireworks which are lined around the inside. Beaupre offers a cracker, but the parrot demands two. Since he only has one, the parrot then lights the fireworks, and escapes. Beaupre's cover is literally blown, and the police arrest him.
That night, Alex and his family celebrate with his father returning. Mrs. Hess, who befriends Alex after he successfully rescued her, is there, along with the FBI and the police, while Alex's house is being repaired. Alex gets another surprise from his father: a remote control car.
In the final scene of the film, while the four thieves are having their mugshot photos taken, they are shown to have Alex's chicken pox.

The film was pitched at the same time as Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and it was planned to produce both movies simultaneously; however, those plans fell through.
The idea for a third Home Alone movie was revived in the mid-1990s; early drafts called for Culkin to return as a teenage version of his character. However, Culkin had dropped out of acting. As a result, the idea was changed to make an entirely new film centering on a new cast of characters. It was filmed in New York City with the airport scenes in the beginning of the film being shot in two different concourses at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.
The film grossed $79,000,000 worldwide. Critical reception for the film was generally negative upon release. It holds a 27% "rotten" rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 21 reviews and was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Remake or Sequel." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, however, gave the film a positive review (3 out of 4 stars) and says he found it to be "fresh, very funny, and better than the first two".

CANDO, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol has released the names of a man and woman from Belcourt who were killed Tuesday after their car collided with a semi-truck about 13 miles west of Cando.
The patrol says 24-year-old Dillion Azure was driving the car east on North Dakota Highway 17 about 9 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a curve and struck the rear tires of the semi-truck with an empty hay rack trailer.
Azure and one passenger, 19-year-old Calleen Belgarde, were killed.
Azure was not wearing a seatbelt and it's not known if Belgarde was. Another 19-year-old female passenger was flown to Trinity Hospital in Minot.
The truck driver was not injured.

Making ulta hi-res picturesPosted Friday, 10 February, 2012 - 19:13 by trenmost in
I'm making a software, where i use OpenTK to generate a very high res image of a shape, and then process its geometry. Higher resolution mean better results, so i would like to use higher resolutions. However video cards nowadays have a limit of 8096x8096 (dx10), or 16384x16384 (dx11) of the texture (and viewport) size, therefore if i'm drawing very large objects, the quality wouldnt be as good. I'm plannign a tile based method, where i will swap the tiles and render the image in more steps, but before doing that, i would like to ask if there is an easier solution to this problem.

What official analyses will not say
The mid-year analysis of the economy presented to Parliament by the government is upbeat on the economy and the government's prospects of meeting its fiscal targets.
What official analyses will not say
The mid-year analysis of the economy presented to Parliament by the government is upbeat on the economy and the government's prospects of meeting its fiscal targets.
This is justified, even if the fiscal deficit has been contained only by keeping in abeyance till April 2012 the 2005 decision to not take credit for disinvestment proceeds in the Budget, but to place them in a National Investment Fund, whose income from investments rather than the corpus itself should fund expenditure on social development.
The analysis rightly identifies some macroeconomic and structural issues that need to be tackled in order to sustain high growth. However, it is remarkable that boosting overall agricultural output as a major challenge fails to find mention either in the discussion of rural growth and decline in inflation or among the structural challenges that remain to be tackled.
Recovery in rural incomes will further boost the demand for food, in particular , the demand for superior foods, leading to further inflationary pressures that cannot be tackled merely by hiking support prices. Raising productivity on the farm dovetails into the other challenge facing the Indian economy , of releasing large tracts of land for urbanisation, building roads, opening mines, etc. Paucity of well-connected urban land jacks up the capital and working costs of everything, ranging from hospitals and schools to industry and services.
The problem is not shortage of land that can be converted into urban land, but absence of a policy that would harmoniously release land, while making land-losers stakeholders in the new development on their land. The key to releasing land for non-farm use and raising farm productivity is political engagement with the peasantry and the landless poor. Absence of such engagement and resultant alienation of the rural poor will strengthen the forces of schism represented by Maoists and religious terrorists of various shades.
Assorted scams delegitimise state action and actors. A concerted move to clean up political funding and combat corruption now qualifies as growth sustaining reform. Institutional reform to expand and cleanse the judiciary, speed up prosecution and reform political funding are pro-growth steps that brook no delay.

Seto no Hanayome – 10
June 21, 2007 | Author: Adun | In: Anime Blogs, Seto no Hanayome
Nagasumi wakes up one mroning to find a tall, buff man wearing a black suit, standing over him. The man tells him that he'll terminate Nagasumi if he treats Luna half heartedly before jumping out the window. Later at school, Nagasumi tells everyone about the mysterious man but no one believes him, but the man keeps popping up in front of Nagasumi in random places.
Throughout the day the man is chasing after Nagasumi, even to the point where Kai has joined and is also being chased. Kai also called for a ion beam to shoot down onto the man, but it shows no affect on him. With the school being evacuated, San is worried about Nagasumi and goes off to find him, only to confront with the man. However, before San could use her Howling Voice, the man stopped her, but he is soon enough gets punched out by Gouzaburou. The two begin battling out with a one on one duel till the battle ends up being a draw.
It is then Luna turns up with Ren and asks why her father is here. Nagasumi is then shocked to hear that the man was Luna's father, but it appears he turned up here since he was worried about Luna and to see what kind of person Nagasumi is. And so Luna's father leaves, but ends up getting into the incinerator saying he'll be back.
This has got to be one of the best parodies I've seen in Seto no Hanayome. Well I can't really think of any others at the moment, but having Luna's father be all like the Terminator was just pure gold. Also I didn't expect Luna's father to turn up so early on in the series, but I guess right now it's a prime time to be introducing characters since this is coming close to the halfway point. Also I find it funny how Nagasumi was able to drag Kai into the whole chase part and how Kai used an ion beam (well I want to call it an ion beam). But I guess with this it shows that they are close to becoming friends.
It's interesting to see Luna's relationship with her father, as it appears that they aren't very close. I do feel that we'll see more on why that is later on in the series when we get some episodes focused on Luna. Also Luna's father has been added to the ending sequence with some spaces left. Though next episode it appears we won't have another character introduction just yet but we appear to be going back to regular crazy antics.
Also at this point I'm considering to stop blogging Seto no Hanayome as I am behind and don't have much time to actually blog it. But I'll hold on for a few more episodes to see if I can still blog it, plus I would like to finish it off for completion sakes.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
Good opening video, which was based around the theme of being unforgiven. Gave some nice hype to the main events as well, and started off the show in a way that hypes you for the rest of it
JBL vs. Benoit is a good opening match, and will start the show in style. Dont expect it to be too long, with the winner wrestling again, but hopefully it will be good enough. Benoit starts by getting the first move in, before there is a fightback by JBL, as he starts to dominate the middle of the match. Benoit fights back with the germans, but JBL counters the headbutt, and he goes back onto the attack. Nice little sequence here. Benoit though regains the momentum with the dropkick, but only gets a 2 with the headbutt. JBL goes for the CFH, but Benoit ducks but he cannot get the crossface in first time, but second time he does, and he gets the win in what was a good opening match to the show. Never got too dull, and did a lot in the time slot that you gave them, which was good to see. Benoit has the momentum with him now, going towards his final tonight
Good promo from Orton, which was surprisingly good for him, and gave some good build towards his match with Flair. Cant see him losing it at all, but will be a good match
Probably the filler of the card, but it will still be a good match between them. Good to see the fact they are bitter rivals is shown through them choking each other, and it looks as if you are taking this match seriously, which is good to see. Some good action in the middle of the match, before we get towards the finish, but no-one wants to give the match up easily, with Trish kicking out of Mickie;s moves, and Mickie doing the same to Trish. Some good near falls, which add to the interest in this match, before Mickie steals one after the Mick kick and the feet on the ropes. Good womens match here, but this wont be the end of the feud based on the ending, and I guess you are going to try and do better in that match. Looking forward to the rematch
Guessing that man was supposed to be Austin, and if it was, then interesting to see him backstage, and to find out what the hell he was doing there dont expect to see him tonight, as it would make sense to hype his appearance a bit more over the next few weeks, with a heel calling out Austin, until he finally shows and beats them down why am I booking your show here oh see what happens with this I guess
Not expecting too much from the next match to be honest, although Im hoping that it will at least be passable. Show manages to out power Taker, and dominates the early going of the match, which was done reasonably well, but this match isnt going to be a great one, but it will do. Taker fights back with the ddt, and this is getting towards the end of the match, and we will get an explosive finish. Taker manages to kick out of the cobra clutch, which was a nice surprise, and then they trade the chokeslams, but neither is enough to get the win. Taker nails a last ride, and he gets the win, and now faces Benoit tonight, in what would should be a great match. Solid enough match between these two, but Benoit vs. Taker should be great
Rated R Army are confident it seems, but the problems that exist between Nitro and Kenny may cost them the title. Doane kisses Melina, and that means the rivalry between them has just got a bit more heated
Liked the RVD promo, as it had some good humour in it with him saying that he will smoke everyone, but remained serious enough to make him a threat in the match tonight. Promos have been working well tonight, and seem to have a meaning to them as well
6 way match should be great with the men involved, and this hopefully will go long and have a lot of good, exciting stuff in it. Good to see the MNM members start the match, which gives it a bit of a story, and no-one seems to be able to settle in the match, with all 6 men trying to do what they can. RVD though is on fire it seems, with him basically beating the hell out of Masters, and dominates him to the extent that he is out of the match, and we are down to the 5 of them. Masters looks to be going for a feud with RVD then, which Im not too keen on myself, but it could be done well. Mercury pins RVD, taking the star of the match so far out of it, and leaving us with 4. Carlito and Mercury then have some good action in the match, and this does seem to a feature of the match, that 2 people will wrestle until 1 is eliminated, and them someone enters the match. Superplex off the top is enough to see off Mercury, which may be a bit weak, but to be honest, I dont mind it, as it is still a high impact move. 2 on 1 on Carlito, and he is going to have to fight the handicap now if he is to win the title. Some great stuff between these 3, before Doane double crosses Nitro and nails him with the leg drop, taking him out of the match. Melina will now be the key figure, as the winner will all depend on whether she sides with Doane. Nitro and Melina get taken down, only for Carlito to hit the backcracker, and he is the new champion, which is good to see. Good match here, and the mid card is a strong point on this show at the moment. Looks as if Melina will be staying with Nitro after slapping Doane across the face, which is good to see, and that should be the next feud
JBL comes out, and it looks like he has a complaint about why he lost his match earlier, and that was something that I didnt spot as you didnt write about that in the match I see. Austin comes out, far too quickly for my liking, as there was no hype at all towards this. Big returns need a lot of hype, or be a total surprise, but this was a hybrid really, and didnt work as well. Cant fault the promo really, as Austins speech was done well, but maybe JBL should have got a few more words in. Looks like Austin is back full time, which should be entertaining, but not quite sure where he fits on the roster. Anyway, this should be a nice feud to go with the promo, but the idea behind the promo didnt work I felt
Edge has Vince on his side, but somehow HBK is going to overcome the odds, maybe with the help of a certain HHH
Orton vs. Flair was a pretty decent match, and the way it went down was interesting, with Orton able to match the work of Flair, making him look as if he could be the next legend, which does a lot for Orton. Flair though does seem to have enough to make a comeback, only for him to be nailed with a mid air RKO, which has to be enough, but Flair gets the shoulder up. Maybe doesnt help the move really, as a mid air RKO should be enough to finish off Flair, even though there was a gap. Flair though gets in the figure four leg lock, but Orton manages to make it to the ropes and keep the match alive, as Orton nails another RKO< but he lets Flair get up, wanting to finish him off a different way. He goes for the texas cloverleaf, which is nice to see that you have given to him, but he gets the ropes, but another RKO is enough for the match to end, and Orton gets the win. Good match here, which does a lot for Orton with him coming out of this looking very strong, and Flair put in a good performance as well
Nice tag match for tomorrow night I guess, and it will be interesting to see who wins the belt based on who is in the match, you could do with maybe 1 more face tag team
AAE and Umaga call out Foley, in what should be an interesting segment. Some okay stuff from Foley, but he can do better, but the match that comes out of this will be good. AAE was on form here, and then so was Umaga once the unsanctioned brawl began, and some brilliant stuff from Umaga, getting him over as a big monster again after the destruction he put down on Foley. Dont expect to see him for quite a while now, but he will be back to face Umaga
Benoit vs. Taker now, and this will be a good match, and is a feud that at some point I would like to see the WWE do. Benoit goes straight for the crossface, but Taker shows that he can wrestle, and he gets out of it, and this could be a recurring theme of the match by the looks of things. Benoit shows that he can wrestle with Taker, and the germans followed by the northern lights was some good stuff, and this has been a very good match so far. Benoit locks in the sharpshooter, but Taker gets out of it and nails the chokeslam, but Benoit gets out of that. Some good near falls here, and although this match is definitely beig rushed, it does make sense with them having wrestled tonight already. Benoit finally gets in the crossface, but Taker gets to the ropes, and a tombstone is enough to get the win, and Taker is the new number 1 contender and that is good to see, and his match with HBK should be a good one. This match was possibly MOTN, but the fact it was short doesnt help it. Would love to see a rematch down the line, where they go for 20+ minutes
Main event time, and Im pretty sure that at some point this is going to turn into a gimmicked match, with run ins to help Edge get the title back, but hopefully it wont be too overbooked. Fast counts from Vince are going to happen then, and this will be good to see, as the odds are heavily stacked. Edge runs into the steel, but it isnt too long before he is back in control, as nothing HBK can do is working tonight, and he seems to be too distracted by Vince as the referee. Moonsault should be enough, but the very slow count means Edge kicks out, and this is starting to piss HBK off. Edgecator is locked in, but even though HBK gets the ropes, he doesnt have to release it. Nice heel tactics here, which is nice to see. Shocked to see the kick out of the spear, even with the fast count, as it kind of buries the move a bit. SCM should be it, but Vince stops the count, and that means there is no way that he can win without Vince being knocked out. Looks as if Edge and Vince are going for the concerto, but out comes HHH, and he nails the pedigree to Vince, removing him SCM to Edge, and it is over, and HBK keeps the title. Good match here, but the ending felt a bit flat and lacklusture, with the HHH arrival having to happen, but somehow just not feeling right. Good to see Taker come out to end the show after the DX stuff, and it looks as if you are going straight into the next feud

NEW YORK — Metro-North Railroad has reversed itself and extended cross-honoring of Port Jervis line tickets and parking permits at Beacon for another six weeks.
The railroad discontinued cross-honoring Jan. 14, when a new Port Jervis line schedule was implemented that restored the number of trains to pre-Sandy levels. The policy originally was put into place in November, after the storm disrupted service.
Metro-North, however, decided Friday it would resume cross-honoring until March 24, when the extra stops at New Jersey stations that were added to the schedule are dropped and trains return to their pre-Sandy running times.
Port Jervis line commuters have complained about the extra stops because of the time they add to an already long trip. Metro-North agreed to the extra stops temporarily to assist NJ Transit in recovering from Sandy, pointing out that NJ Transit aided Metro-North's recovery from Irene in 2011.

Please see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DNSServerFailover which
details a project to deal with this issue. Currently this is only in

Have you looked at the new pool configuration option? It will use up to
10 entries in the DNS.

If you are using pool.ntp.org then you should get different servers
listed on as relatively frequent basis.
If you are using your own servers as long as you configure enough
servers for the FQDN it will return a different order each time.

What is the gold basis? Superficially, the gold basis is the difference between the futures price and spot price of gold. However, there is a refinement to this observation after Carl Menger.
Menger was the first to realise that economic analysis should have its foundation in terms of 'spread' as opposed to 'price'. The price of a good itself does not exist as a monolithic entity but is composed of a spread itself: the bid-offer spread.
The idea of a spread has been transferred to the concept of carry, in particular with regards to gold. There is no such a thing as the carry: the carry itself is composed of a spread the lower bound of which is referred to as the 'co-basis' and the upper bound the 'basis'. Simplistically, the co-basis and basis are analogies in the 'space' of carry to the bid and offer in the 'space' of prices.
The basis has its origin in the agricultural commodity market. A high and rising basis was indicative of plentiful supplies, a low and falling basis the opposite. The extension of these concepts to the bullion markets was first espoused by Professor Antal Fekete.
Professor Fekete pioneered the importance of observing the gold basis as a sign of global financial distress. All other indicators – such as interbank lending rates or government yields – can and are manipulated to give a distorted picture.
The 'Gold Basis Service' and 'Course of the Exchange' is a quarterly subscription newsletter that describes current movements in the gold and silver bases and implications about future movements for prices. As well as the gold and silver bases, the commentary relates to general observations from a Mengerian perspective on the current market place for global equities; government paper and other goods.
Cost: US$490 per annum
Subscriptions can be taken via PayPal.
Alternatively, cheques or money transfers drawn on a United States clearing bank can be accepted. Please contact inf...@feketeresearch.com for further information.

I saw a lecture about how moon moves around the earth..Its expanation is as given below>I took it from link above.
The Orbit of the Moon
Falling apples are one thing, but what about the Moon?
What keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth?
The Law of Inertia (Newton's 1st law) predicts:
If there were no gravitational force acting between the Moon and the Earth, the Moon would travel in a straight line at a constant speed.
But, of course the Moon really moves along a curved path:
It is deflected from a straight-line path by the force of gravity.
This causes the Moon to fall a little bit towards the Earth at the same time at it moves to one side.
WHAT I WAN TO KNOW IS HOW IS THE MOON GETTING ENERGY TO MOVE ???hOW COULD IT MOVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE??!!!BY SELF??THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING TO PUSH THE MOON RIGHT?? THEY SAY ITS MOVING IN A CURVE SHAPE AS AS RESULT OF A FORCE OF LINEAR MOTION OF MOON AND EARTH.aLLTHESE AGE FROM WHERE DID MOON GET THIS ENEGY TO MOVE IN LINEAR PATH..

RCC endeavors to maintain campuses on which everyone is secure and safe. Each campus has trained security staff, "best practices" procedures and planning, convenient emergency call boxes, ample lighting, and surveillance cameras. Additionally, the College maintains a violence prevention committee and threat assessment team of trained administrators, staff, external professional service providers, and law enforcement agencies.
It is each individual's responsibility to maintain his/her own situational awareness and to be familiar with College emergency procedures. Emergency procedures, instructions, and other emergency, security, and safety information can be found at www.rappahannock.edu/about/safety. Students can promote their own safety and the safety of others by doing the following:
Threat Assessment
The College has established a formal and effective process for identifying and addressing violent threats. If you feel you or anyone else is threatened by violence it is your obligation to report it to faculty, staff, campus security, a counselor, or directly to the Threat Assessment Team. If there is a clear and present danger of violence, a crime, or an act of violence is occurring, call 911 immediately. Likewise campus security staff can be alerted using a blue light emergency call box at locations around campus or a red emergency telephone in each classroom. Local or state police authorities will be contacted promptly for criminal offenses such as theft, robbery, assault, or other criminal acts.
Purpose of the Threat Assessment Team
As a requirement of Virginia Code Section 23-9.2:10, each public college or university shall have in place policies and procedures for the prevention of violence on campus. RCC is committed to providing a safe campus environment that promotes student learning. As part of this commitment, RCC has established the Threat Assessment Team, a multi-disciplinary group responsible for evaluating and managing risks associated with behaviors that may present a threat to the campus community's safety. The RCC TAT (TAT), in collaboration with the RCC Violence Prevention Committee, will help develop policies and procedures for violence prevention, including assessment and intervention with individuals whose behavior may pose a threat to campus safety. The RCC TAT members include the vice president of finance and administrative services, Glenns Campus dean, Warsaw Campus dean, dean of student development, human resources manager, counselors and other College constituencies as needed. All members of the TAT are considered to be school officials and will have complete access to student records when necessary to do their job. The TAT is responsible for addressing reported behavioral or mental health incidents involving students, faculty, staff or visitors which occur on a RCC campus or site.
Anyone may make a referral to the TAT, this includes students, faculty, staff, and parents. Behavior that warrants a referral to the TAT includes behaviors that might compromise safety, erratic behavior that disrupts teaching or college activities, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidal ideation. You do not need to make the decision about whether a situation is an issue for TAT or should be handled by another department, when in doubt make a referral. The TAT members will review the information provided in the referral and take the appropriate action. If you feel there is an immediate threat, dial 911 and contact campus security. Glenns 804-758-6765. Warsaw 804-333-6765. Kilmarnock Center and King George site call 911.
To make a report in person, you may provide a report to one of the following depending on your location: Glenns Campus Dean Room 131, Warsaw Campus Dean Room 141, Dean of Student Development Room 106A Glenns or 105A Warsaw, King George Site Director, Kilmarnock Site Director. Your report will be forwarded to the TAT.
Rappahannock Community College intends to provide a safe environment for all students and employees, and be in compliance with the Campus Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990. Procedures are in place to aid students and employees in reporting criminal actions or obtaining information on criminal statistics.
Criminal actions should be reported to campus security or the college receptionist. Reports may be made:
Local or state police authorities will be contacted promptly for the following criminal offenses:
The vice president of administration and finance will determine if local or state police authorities are to be contacted for other crimes.
Timely Warning Policy
It is the policy of Rappahannock Community College to issue a timely warning to the college community for any Clery Act crime that occurs on RCC's Clery geography. Timely warnings are issued for crimes that have been reported to campus security or local police agencies and that are considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees. Timely warnings may be issued for threats to persons or to property. Timely warnings may be issued for non-Clery crimes as the individual situation warrants, if such crimes pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. Issuance of a timely warning will be made on a case by case basis to be determined by the nature of the crime, the continuing danger to the campus community, and other factors that may be pertinent to the particular situation. Timely warnings will be issued to the campus community as soon as pertinent information regarding the crime is available. It is not the intent of the college to compromise law enforcement efforts in issuing a timely warning to the college community.
Security of and Access to Facilities
Facilities will be locked during non-operating hours. Access to the facilities will be during normal operating hours; i.e. 7:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Fridays. Campus security will provide access on Saturdays if classes or events are scheduled.
Importance of Reporting Criminal Actions
It is important to report all crimes, no matter how minor they may seem. Most importantly crimes or suspicious activity should be reported immediately, so action can be taken right away.
Reporting of Criminal Actions
Criminal actions consisting of those listed as (1) through (9) above will be reported in a timely fashion through the employee's newsletter and through public notices posted on bulletin boards.

Louis Bardo Bullock is Sandra Bullock's baby boy and photos have already come out! Sandra and her little man grace the cover of People, where she not only reveals she adopted, but also filed for divorce! Read more and check out pictures and video here!
Louis Bullock is Sandra's baby boy! According to People magazine, she and Jesse began the adoption process four years ago, and this year she was finally able to take home little Louis, who is three months old.
This is quite a big cover story, because not only is Sandra introducing the world to her son, she also reveals that she has filed for divorce. She has decided to move forward with the adoption as a single parent.
Sandra and Jesse had decided to wait until after the Oscars to share the news, but just days after is when news of Jesse's multiple affairs were leaked.
"I did not want him brought into a world that would not have been too sincere to him as I wanted. I wanted to be alone with him as long as I could then we had to tell his story."
Louis Bardo was born in New Orleans, and his name was chosen thanks to the Louis Armstrong song, 'What a Wonderful World' which came on when she first met her son.
"He's just perfect, I can't even describe him any other way," Bullock says of her beautiful baby boy. "It's like he's always been a part of our lives."
The cover picture of Louis and Sandra is absolutely beautiful. She looks like she is absolutely in love with him, and he seems so comfortable with her. You can check out the baby photos from People here. I am amazed that she was able to keep this a secret so long!
Congrats to Sandra! She has handled this whole mess with such grace and dignity, I am glad to see her happy.
Please check out pictures and video below, and tell me your thoughts on Louis Bardo Bullock, Sandra Bullock's baby boy!
