Trial to begin for man in R.I. killing outside bank
Trial to begin for man in R.I. killing outside bank
PROVIDENCE — Jury selection is scheduled to begin Wednesday in the trial of one of three people charged in the 2010 killing of a Woonsocket gas station manager outside a bank.
Jose A. Santiago has pleaded not guilty to charges of robbery, conspiracy and using a firearm in a crime of violence in the death of David Main.
The case drew national attention when one of the people charged, Jason Pleau, was deemed eligible for the death penalty and became the subject of a battle over capital punishment between Gov. Lincoln Chafee and the federal government. Chafee had argued the state abolished the death penalty so Pleau should not be subject to it. The federal government ultimately won out, though Pleau last month agreed to plead guilty in a deal that allows him to avoid the death penalty.
Pleau, Santiago and Kelly Lajoie were charged in the robbery and killing of Main. Lajoie has also pleaded guilty.
Authorities say Pleau was the triggerman, Lajoie acted as a lookout and Santiago was the getaway driver.
Santiago's attorney, John Calcagni, didn't return a message seeking comment on the case. Santiago is from the Springfield, Mass., area.
Pleau has admitted as part of his plea deal that he armed himself with a .38-caliber revolver and waited outside a Citizens Bank branch for Main, who was headed there to deposit the gas station's weekend receipts. Lajoie, camped outside the gas station, called Pleau to say Main was on his way. Pleau then accosted Main outside the bank, told Main to "give me the dough" and then shot him in the head as he ran for the door.
A grand jury indictment says Santiago waited for Pleau in a truck and drove him away from the scene after the robbery and killing. They then met up with Lajoie and split around $12,000 they got from the robbery and killing and used it to go shopping, authorities have said.
Pleau and Lajoie have not yet been sentenced.
The trial is expected to start next week and last about three weeks.

This 9-Year-Old Sang "This Is Hardcore" And Won A Pulp Karaoke Contest Judged By Jarvis Cocker
Wrong? Or so wrong it's right?
1. Meet Graham Johnson.
2. He's 9-years-old and lives in NYC. And he's a huge fan of the band, Pulp.
3. Graham especially loves Pulp's enigmatic frontman Jarvis Cocker.
4. Cocker was in NYC this week to attend a screening of the new film, Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets , which captures the band's last concert in the hometown of Sheffield, England.
See it when it's out in November!
5. After the screening, Jarvis and the film's director Florian Habicht judged a Pulp karaoke contest, where Graham took a moment to shine.
6. After a slew of great performances, it was Graham's turn to show what he could do.
IT WAS CRAZY. (Though as you can hear on the video, some in the crowd were less than thriiled with the idea of a 9-year-old singing such a sexually suggestive song).
7. Here's Graham's audition video, BTW.
It appears to be down right now, but maybe it'll come back up.
8. Jarvis's take? "It was a little disturbing… but I will not forget that, ever."
Jarvis gave him a 9.5 and Florian gave him a 9. And everyone agreed: Graham had a lovely singing voice.
9. In the end, he beat out ten other competitors and took home top honors.
10. And perhaps Jarvis learned some new dance moves, too.

You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~CS Lewis
Lucky you. My parents have already stated that they disagree with our decision and they intend to take it to court and fight it, assuming they are still alive and kicking. So both DH and I have made sure our wills are good, accessible, that the designated guardians know where everything they need is. I have also enclosed a letter to the judge, knowing that it will have no legal status but in hopes that she/he might take it into account should the need arise.
And none of us likes to think of these things and the discussion is uncomfortable, even with you mostly agree with your DH (as we did). It sucks, to be honest. But its necessary and part of parenting, I think. Sort of like getting up at 2 AM because your child needs you.
did anyone choose a sibling over a parent based solely on age and stage of life?
This is a good question. I am a choicemom (ie, conceived with anonymous donor sperm) In addition, my extended family do not live in this country (US). I assume that if something were to happen to me, that my mother would be called, and custody given to her (though she does not live here) otherwise kids would end up in foster care. This is hardly in their interests. Dont courts look to whats in childs interests?

Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima: The Highest Paid Models Of 2014
Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen has topped Forbes magazine's list of the highest earning models for the eighth consecutive year. So it is the 8th time Gisele has proved that she is the leading queen in the world of modeling.
The 34-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel is said to have earned $47 million last year, courtesy her contracts with Chanel, H&M, Carolina Herrera and her deal with shoemaker Grendene, for whom she designed a range of jelly shoes. Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes share the second place on the list with around $8 million of earning each, while the oldest model on the list, Kate Moss, 40, came in third place, along with Miranda Kerr, Kate Upton and Liu Wen, who all took home around $7 million each.
Hilary Rhoda and Alessandra Ambrosio are on the fourth spot with $5 million. Joan Smalls, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Wasson, Erin Hetherton, Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy on the list.
Here is a list of the highest paid models of 2014.

Aminex Therapeutics, Inc., is a drug development company focused on discovery, development, and commercialization of a new subclass of cancer immunotherapies known as suppressor cell modulators (SCMs). Aminex's novel cancer immunotherapy drug, AMX-513, enables the body's immune system to attack cancer and its ability to spread by modulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).
Aminex has operated primarily with angel funding since its founding in 2009. The company recently completed a very successful Series A financing round, raising more than $4 million, which is programmed to complete remaining FDA preclinical requirements and preparation for AMX-513 human clinical trials scheduled to start in mid-2016.
An extensive array of animal data supports the likelihood that AMX-513 will be effective in human cancer clinical trials. Our vision is for AMX-513 to be a transformational drug therapy, for use alone or in combination with other immunotherapy treatments.
Though there have been important incremental improvements in cancer treatment, the incidence of cancer is rising in the United States and throughout the world. Furthermore, cancer survival longevity is unacceptably low, and treatment costs have been growing rapidly. Aminex's goal is to substantially improve these trends.

If you can get the The Riddle of Steel Combat Simulator from their support page http://www.driftwoodpublishing.com/support/ to work, then that gives a an overview of how text-based combat can work. It's certainly skill based but with a whole bunch of dice involved so it's random as well. Like Poker.
What kind of "dice rolls" are you trying to avoid? For example, is rock-paper-scissor ok? I choose attack A, enemy (randomly!) chooses attack B. A beats B so I win. As an extra bonus, with markov chains you cam make an AI for it if you want tougher opponents. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scissors.html?_r=0
I like the King of Men's talk of resource management. Let's say a swashbuckler has stamina, health, durability of his sword, four hidden daggers and two pistol shots. Stamina regenerates quickly, health slowly, sword not at all until you find a new one. Health loss in swordfights is inversely proportional to the amount of stamina expended. Throwing a dagger gives you the opportunity to run away. Pistol shots are instakill but rare obviously.

Skip to comments.Hate Rally: The SEIU Trashed the WWII Memorial
Posted on 10/03/2010 12:31:15 PM PDT by PROCON
Ironically, a major focus of the speeches at the "One Nation" hate rally was the need for "Green Jobs" along with plenty of rhetoric accusing conservatives of not caring about our environment.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.tv ...
Makes me want to go clean up. Maybe we should have a 'clean up after One Nation' rally today in the Mall. those turds.
Plenty of anti military sentiment onstage as well. Jesse Jackson wants to cut military and defense spending to rebuild Detroit.
Sigh. Things could be worse. It could be like Merrie England where it has become fashionable for the yutes to vandalize outright and urinate on war memorials...
Disgusting behavior from disgusting people.
GREAT idea, wish I lived closer than Oregon.
We always clean up after these types in every way. Our tax dollars always are cleaning up after them and supporting them.
Of course the news readers at MSNBC will be HIGHLY indignant about this!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What makes this even more disgusting is that these are the same commie turds who stood around whining and wringing their hands because Glen Beck and a large number of Americans dared to have their Restoring Honor rally on the "sacred and holy" ground where Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous speech.
Fleabaggers. I like that.
"A nation that doesn't honor it's warrors will be defeated by one that does."
Original You tube page with lots more trash videos - disgusting...
Well this so-called left movement is shot. They make no sense and fooled a bunch of racist twits. They got the stupid vote but to ask twice is to much.
He needs to ask what built Detroit in the first place.... it wasn't government handouts!
You're wasting your time trying to get Libs to understand concepts like logic, consequences, personal responsibility, hypocrisy...
Listen, they showed up. They waved the signs and wore the t-shirts for the cameras. They'll go back home now, feel the right feelings and mouth the words about saving whales, not wearing fur and saving the environment from from those evil capitalists. They'll never make the connection that what they are doing negates what they are saying and feeling.
Henry Ford was one tough Hombre. He built Detroit.
I would imagine a fair amount of liberal urine and feces are all around the monument too.
Yeh, I'm in So Cal. I just think it would be a nice photo op to appear in American Flag t-shirts and clean up and polish our beloved monuments.
In the future ...
We can do it without cutting military spending.
We can invade Detroit like we did Iraq.
Just carpet bomb the hell out of it, shoot everything that shoots at us, then rebuild it like we did in Iraq.
We would probably wipe out just as many hate filled muslims and anti-Americans as we did in Iraq but at less cost. We would save a lot on fuel and transportation costs because Detroit is a lot closer and it's already been more than half destroyed by the people that live there.
Jackson seems to have this idea that if you fix up the broken down houses, the people will come flooding back in.
Another POP rally: Pigs on Parade.
Here is one:
"Obama Ain't No Socialist -- We Are, We Are!"
Here is another:
One of the world's most beautiful gardens is the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden, on the mall in DC, Located between the Arts and Industries Building and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. During the inaugural "celebration," celebrators jumbed the fences and completely trashed the garden. Little was left growing. The garden is planted with hundreds of rare and exotic plant species, and it is just beautiful to walk through on the way back from lunch or between museaum visits. I met the curator. She was in tears over the damage done by these hoodlums, oops, I mean fellow American citizens.
...yup. He wants the largest welfare camp going.
The auto even that made it possible moved on. Maybe Jesse has another business idea to employ the people? If its successful, it to will build a new center like the cars did.
So Jesse? C'mon brother, share with us... what business you got up yo sleeve to employ all dem people or yo just waiting for bama stimulus cash?
bump for later...
Only if they get FREE lunches, FREE tee-shirts and FREE bus rides.
fleabagger bump for later...........
I would suggest calling them "bedbuggers"...but there may be too many connotations to that.
How about "Dirtbaggers"!
Man, I got into your link, and I couldn't get out of it. I tried and tried to back up, and, nothing. I had to close out of the internet and come back in. How come?

Most first days on the job involve getting acquainted with your co-workers, adjusting to your new desk and figuring out how to use the copy machine.
You know, first day stuff.
Not new Glenwood Mayor Kim Clark.
No, Clark spent her first day on the job knee deep in financial paper work going over the city's mounting snow removal debt.
Two Malvern residents are facing drug-related charges following their arrests during the early-morning hours of Wednesday, Jan. 6.
As the result of information obtained during an on-going investigation, Mills County Sheriff's deputies served a search warrant at 609 Third Ave. in Malvern shortly after 3 a.m. During the search of the residence, deputies seized a substance believed to be methamphetamine with a total weight of over 5 grams, marijuana and two precursors believed to be pseudoephedrine and lithium. Both are commonly used in the production of methamphetamine.
As the investigation continues into a forgery scheme that bilked Operation Santa out of more than $11,000 the Glenwood non-profit that has spent more than a decade helping needy families buy Christmas gifts got a gift of its own last week.
The Mutual of Omaha Foundation has donated $10,000 to Operation Santa to cover the losses the group has suffered as a result of more than 220 forged $50 gift vouchers.
A resident of a Glenwood apartment complex that suffered $30,000 in damages in a Dec. 21 fire has been charged with first degree arson after allegedly setting the blaze.
Jarrett D. Dunn, 36, the resident of Unit 10 where the blaze ignited in a kitchen area of the former Chief Motel at 6 North Locust St., was arrested on Dec. 23 after a confrontation with police. Damages to the complex were mostly confined to Dunn's unit.
Glenwood letter carriers are asking customers for some help in clearing a path to their mailboxes. Unsafe conditions such as unshoveled snow, icy sidewalks and porches, or large amounts of snow blocking mailboxes can delay or even prevent mail delivery.
As of Tuesday morning, one arrest had been made and more are expected to follow as the Glenwood Police Department continues its investigation into the use of forged vouchers that claim to be from the Operation Santa program in Mills County.
Over 220 of the fake $50 vouchers were cashed in earlier this month for purchases totaling more than $11,000, interim police chief Mike Mercer said. The vouchers were presented and accepted at four Glenwood businesses – Family Dollar, Newman's Thriftway, Captain Video/Radio Shack and Pamida.
The Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office is assisting in the investigation of a suspicious fire Monday morning at a Glenwood apartment complex.
The blaze caused extensive damage to one unit of the former Chief Motel and forced the evacuation of the other 10 units in the one-level, L-shaped structure.
"It started in the kitchen area of Unit 10," Glenwood Fire Chief Butch Fidler said. "All I can say at this time is that it's suspicious in nature."
A foot of snow, a sheet of ice and sub-zero temperatures.
It's definitely beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas.
Autumn doesn't officially end until next Monday, but southwest Iowa got its first taste of winter weather last week when a brutal storm dropped 12 inches of snow on the area and created blizzard conditions. The snowfall moved in Monday evening and continued falling well into Wednesday.
A day short of one year after voters said no to the Glenwood School's request for an Instructional Support Levy, the district is planning to try again.
The Glenwood School Board voted 3-1 at a public hearing Monday night in the Glenwood Community High School Media Center to pursue an Instructional Support Levy (ISL), an alternative funding stream to address curriculum and technology needs in the cash strapped district, in a Feb. 2 special election.
Glenwood Community School District Superintendent Dr. Stan Sibley has announced he will be retiring from the position he has held since 2001.
Sibley has informed the Glenwood School Board of his intention to retire at the end of the school year and tendered his resignation at Monday's monthly board meeting. Sibley will remain as superintendent through the district's current fiscal year ending on June 30, 2010.
Sibley, 65, said he had been contemplating stepping down for some time and now just seemed like the right time.

Dr El-Dieb suggests that the combination of inhaled antigen and exercise might suffice to induce anaphylaxis. Although acute allergic reactions have occurred after ingestion of pollen belonging to the Compositae family (which includes ragweed), to date inhalant-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis has not been documented. Not all patients with food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis have had positive skin test results to food antigens; therefore, the negative skin test result to grape extract does not exclude the possibility that grapes were involved in our patient's reaction. To prove that the combination of grape ingestion and exercise could induce anaphylaxis, we would have had to subject our patient to a controlled challenge; we did not want to subject her to this additional stress.

Opera Colorado
Help Opera Colorado enrich the quality of life of over 50,000 Coloradoans this year! Through presentations of opera performances that inspire our audience and services to the community through education and cultural programs, Opera Colorado contributes significantly to the cultural diversity and quality of life throughout the Greater Rocky Mountain Region.
Organizational Overview
- Name
- Opera Colorado
- Phone
- 303-778-1500
- Address
- 695 S. Colorado Blvd.
Denver, CO 80246

This year Opera Colorado will present the world premiere of Lori Laitman's "The Scarlet Letter"! With themes that still resonate with today's society, this production is an amazing portrayal of societal pressures and conformity, religious persecution and women's rights. With modern set designs and projected scenery, this production will prove to be an outstanding work that brings international talent and appreciation to the state of Colorado.
We have also begun to rebuild our staff, bringing on a new Annual Fund Manager as well as an Education Assistant. Our Young Artist program continues to be nationally renowned and our education programs recognized for their ability to adapt to modern students' needs. Look out for the future - Opera Colorado has established a five-year strategic plan with some exciting plans for the future of opera and the community!
Impact Statement
The goal of Opera Colorado for the 2016-2017 season is to continue fulfilling our mission statement to present inspiring opera performances and educational programs. This will be accomplished by presenting two mainstage productions - Puccini's rarely performed LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST and Donizetti's dark drama LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR; adding a third production outside of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House with Laura Kaminsky's new chamber opera, AS ONE; continuing to inspire over 38,000 school age youth throughout Colorado by offering essential education and outreach programs; and training the next generation of opera performers with our Young Artist residency program.
Needs Statement
Opera Colorado is sustained by the generosity of individual donors and sponsors, who comprise our single largest source of income. While ticket sales and other earned income are our most obvious income source, this revenue only covers approximately 30% of our total annual operating budget. We rely on support from donors like you and days like Colorado Gives in order to bring opera programs to our schools, offer free or reduced cost programs to children who otherwise could not participate and to sustain one of Denver's finest cultural institutions.
Executive Director Statement
It is a pleasure to present four exciting operas over the next two years that represent the full spectrum of human emotion. From hearts that burst with joy to those destroyed by shame and grief, Madama Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Aida and The Scarlet Letter contain the perfect marriage of remarkable music and gripping human drama.
Likewise, they represent 225 years of opera history. From the world premiere of Mozart's The Magic Flute in 1791 to the world premiere Lori Laitman's The Scarlet Letter in 2016, the repertoire I have selected spans the full gamut of styles, revering the time honored traditions of the operatic art form while expanding its boundaries with new work.
Whereas opera brings together many great art forms - music, drama, scenic art and dance - it is also the most expensive to produce. Over 200 individuals can be employed for one opera production, from singers, directors, conductors and orchestral musicians, to stage hands, costume and wig personnel and supertitle operator. Each of these individuals play an important role in making your opera going experience memorable.
I hope that you will take the opportunity TODAY to join our family of season ticket holders and contributors. While growing our audience helps ensure that each of our performances have a full house, the income derived from ticket sales only covers approximately 40% of the cost of an opera production, leaving the remaining 60% to be attained through contributions from generous donors. That's why your tax-deductible gift is so important to maintaining high artistic standards and resilient finances.
Join us today and experience the passion and excitement of Opera Colorado.
Greg Carpenter
General Director
Background Statement
Opera Colorado was founded in 1981 by Nathaniel Merrill, a distinguished name in the world of opera. With the goal of establishing a grand opera company in Denver, he gathered a group of local opera lovers to establish a grand opera company in Denver. Opera Colorado has grown consistently over many years of exceptional leadership and vision, presenting a mix of traditional and contemporary staging of standard repertoire while engaging young talent and attracting international superstars. In 2005, the Opera relocated its performances to the magnificent Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Downtown Denver. Gregory Carpenter was named General Director in 2007 and the company continues to grow its national reputation and strategically carry on the tradition of presenting world-class opera performances in Colorado.
Board Chair/President Statement
Opera Colorado has been bringing grand opera to the Denver community for more than 30 years. Please help me in supporting this local cultural institution, fostering our young artist program and educating patrons of all ages in this timeless classical art.
What Teachers are Saying...
"The resources are totally usable right away."
"Completely interactive!"
"This is the way to have a workshop!"

AUTHOR: Customer Service Administrator - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 04, 2009POSTED: Friday, September 04, 2009
I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. There are no commitments with the free product however there is a bonus free trial period to membership websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated several times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and the thank you email, it is then also explained in the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the services and see the value of them for themselves before they are billed for them. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply and we would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period.
The following is the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer (the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy links can be found on every page of the sales ad):
Bonus Material Terms and Termination. By purchasing this product, you agree to adhere to the termination agreement as outlined on the order page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email, which is that you, the buyer, are not entitled to a refund of the upfront cost of any shipping and handling that may or may not have been charged to you for delivery of said product. Furthermore, any free trials that may or may not be offered with this product are only free during the said allotted time of the free trial period as outlined within the product sales page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email. If you have not cancelled the free bonus within the free trial period (if offered on product purchasing), you are agreeing to purchase the bonus material and/or service at a monthly reoccurring cost. This can be cancelled by calling the customer service number provided in the confirmation email between the hours of 9AM and 9PM EST M-F and stating your desire to cancel said bonus material. However, in order to not be charged any future reoccurring cost, please give ample time (2 business days) to be cancelled out of any reoccurring billing system before the next scheduled charge to your account (this does not apply during any trial period). Not canceling trial programs constitutes authorization, by you, the buyer, for any charges (as outlined) for the associated bonus service until your request to cancel has been received by our customer service staff. By not canceling the bonus program during the trial period or prior to two days before a scheduled billing cycle, you agree that any reoccurring charges billed to you will be non-refundable. As you can see the Terms direct the customer to the sales page, confirmation of order page and the confirmation email. The following disclosure is directly from the sales page - it is located directly above or below the submit button depending on which sales site you are ordering from:
Terms, Disclosures, and Electronic Signature Information. NetPro Marketing's authorization to provide and bill its services is obtained by way of your electronic signature. Once submitted, this electronic order constitutes an electronic letter of agency. NetPro Marketing's reliance on your electronic signature, as obtained above, is done pursuant to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the electronic Signatures in Global and National Transactions Act. Both laws specifically preempt State laws that recognize only paper records or handwritten signatures. By submitting this form, I am ordering the Fast Grants CD and trial membership for $2.29 S&H. After the 7 day trial, I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to the Click Money Members Site and Network Agenda for $7.95 a and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy | Terms & Conditions . For questions, call 1-888-249-4806, anytime, 24 hours a day.

I love silicone swim caps and I would love to have one of the Olympic swimmers signatures - so here is the best of both worlds with this swim cap. Go Team!
This swim cap features a traditional look for the Olympic season. It is super comfortable and very easy to take care of - a great buy for showing your spirit during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

I ordered four CDs from this misleading company last month. After about two weeks, I received the CDs. I read the instruction. It clearly indicated that if i am not happy with the CDs I could two CDs back and my credit card will not be charged anything. I installed them and I was not happy with the CDs. So two days after i sent them back to the address indicated in the package. And before that, I cancelled my accout on the internet. And I was given an order cancellation number. I wrote down the number on the CD and sent the CDs back. However, on June 18th, I recived a credit card statement, indicating that was charaged with 39.90 dollars. I contacted the company but they were closed. In addition, I sent them emial telling them my problem. I called my bank and they told me to contact this compnay for refound, which i will do tomorrow.
I also realized that many people have problems with this company. People need to stop them from misleading from customers. In addition to what I have done, I also file a complain in Federal Trade Commision. The website is www.ftc.gov. For those of you who are also misled by this company. Please ACT! Don't let these company take away your money. Go to Federal Trade Commision and file a complaint.
Good Luck to All of You!

Six states — New Jersey, North Carolina, California, New York, Virginia, and Maryland — have been invited to compete in the first-ever Wisonet Cup State Team Go Tournament at this year's U.S. Go Congress. "This is an exciting new addition to the Congress tournament schedule," says AGA Tournament Coordinator Karoline Burrall. If you're a resident of NC, CA, NY, VA, or MD who's attending the US Go Congress and interested in participating in this tournament, email firstname.lastname@example.com by July 20, with your home state in the subject line. The 5-round tournament will take place at 2:30p on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at the Go Congress. Each state may select a team of six players: three dan players, two kyu players, and an alternate between 5k and 4d who can play in any of the five team seats should a player be unavailable. The team from New Jersey has already been formed and is captained by Kevin Huang 7D and Larry Russ 3K. Other players on the team are Lionel Zhang 6D, Forest Song 4D, Steven Brethrick 2K, and Justine Ching 3D. The tournament is sponsored by Wisonet, Inc, which is providing $1500 in prizes and a free Super Pentominoes Puzzle for each participant.

Go Scholars & Experts Set for Go Symposium at U.S. Go Congress
Sunday July 8, 2012
Eighteen scholars and experts from around the world will convene next month on August 4-5, the opening weekend of the US Go Congress, at the AGA's 2012 International Go Symposium, principal organizer Peter Shotwell announced recently. Nolan Bushnell, who started the computer-gaming movement when he founded Atari in 1972, will deliver the keynote address on Saturday evening, August 4. Hotta Yumi, the creator of Hikaru No Go (see graphic), will also give a talk and answer questions. Other featured speakers will include filmmaker Marc Moskowitz and Chinese pro Stephanie Yin 1P, who will discuss go in China today, with some clips from Moskowitz's film Weiqi Wonders. Chen Zuyuan, a leading expert on rules, will describe the evolution of "territory" and "area" scoring. On Sunday, a panel of experts will discuss the unique positive benefits of go on development, showing how and why every community can have a go program. Other presenters will address a wide range of topics, from multivariate analysis for computer programs to several essays on go history to how go can serve as a context for the emergence of minority leadership. The conference — which is sponsored by the International Go Federation – will conclude with the unveiling of the winners of The 2nd International Go Art Contest late Sunday afternoon, August 5. "Almost 100 people have registered for the Symposium, but for those who can't make it to North Carolina, we plan to stream the conference live, and make the presentations available in a video archive," Shotwell said. Click here for a list of presenters and descriptions of what they plan to say.

AGA Seeks Female Players for 2012 WMSG in France
Monday June 11, 2012
The American Go Association is looking for women who are interested in representing the USin the 2012 World Mind Sports Games (WMSG) in Lille, France, reports Tournament Coordinator Karoline Burrall. The WMSG's go competition will begin August 13 and end August 23rd, and will not overlap with this year's US Go Congress. Travel and accommodation expenses will not be provided by the WMSG or the host country. Players must have been continuous AGA members (full or youth) since January of 2011 and be US citizens to be eligible to participate. "At this point, there are still at least two seats specifically open for women," Burrall tells the E-Journal. Anyone interested must email email@example.com by Tuesday, June 18. "Should more players express interest than we have open seats, playoff games will be organized to select the representatives." If you're not interested or eligible, but know a female player who might be, Burrall urges you to pass this along to her.

"The picture on the AGA website (Champagne Celebrates Go Congress Contest Win) is interesting in several ways," writes None Redmond. "Not only is Nakayama there (at the 2006 US Go Congress in Black Mountain, NC) but also Yoshi looking over his shoulder on the right. My daughter in law, XianXian Niu herself a strong professional player is also placing stones on Nakayama's right and their children are looking on. Mr Nakayama styled himself the girls' Japanese grandfather since the American and the Chinese ones were so far away. Every time I look at it I remember how frail human lives are."

Tuesday May 29, 2012
Over 300 have now signed up for this year's U.S. Go Congress, set for August 4-12 in Black Mountain, NC. Professionals confirmed thus far include Maeda Ryo, Jennie Shen, Cathy Li, Yilun Yang, Feng Yun, Mingjiu Jiang and – just confirmed today — Liang Weitang 9P and Luo Jianyuan 5P from China. "Register and make your payment now to reserve your preferred accommodation," urges Co-Director Paul Celmer, noting that registration costs rise $50 on June 15th. "Remember, your registration is not complete until you have made payment." Other Congress features: the first ever U.S. pro certification tournament and the first International Go Symposium in North America.
Champagne Celebrates Go Congress Contest Win
Tuesday May 8, 2012
"Watching a young player, whose feet didn't even touch the floor, cling to his teddy bear while he beat opponent after opponent…sitting with Noni Redmond in North Carolina as she patiently taught an interesting craft to other non-players…the lack of greens on the menu in Rochester….the whitewater rafting kayak trip in the Chicago River when one of the players went overboard and had to get decontaminated…the players and non-players whom I've met and whom I look forward to seeing year after year after bloody year." These U.S. Go Congress memories won Laura Champagne the recent 2012 Go Congress Registration Story Contest — and a free Congress meal plan — when her submission was selected at random from those sent in. Meanwhile, go players continue to sign up for the August 4-12 Go Congress in Black Mountain, NC at a record-setting pace, organizers report. "So if you're planning to come and still have not registered and reserved your rooms, you should do so now!" says Congress Co-Director Paul Celmer. Registration prices go up in June, he notes. And with well over 400 go enthusiasts planning to attend, the first-ever North American Go Symposium – free for Congress attendees – and lots of other great go activities, including the inaugural AGA Pro Certification Tournament, which ends just as the Congress begins, "you have a fantastic chance of meeting some of the most interesting and enjoyable people on the planet!"

Preface... no changes were made to the blog recently, going back as far as 2-3 weeks (or more). Last plugin installed was GD Ratings (2-3 weeks ago).
Starting this morning (or last night), the Dashboard, Plugins & Appearance pages in the admin area are blank/white. Blog is still functioning on front-end, including all of the plugins that were active.
I have already tried:
- Plugins/ index.php to index.html file
- Delete & re-install wp-admin/
- Deleted old, unused themes
- Removed spaces in wp-config file
- Deleted several plugins (although not all "yet")
What could just happen overnight? Only 1 comment was pending, so I don't think it is related. No posts had been made (although WP O-matic had attempted to). Removing that plugin now.
wp-content/cache/ folder has "apache" as the user, so I can't delete the cache files from Plesk CP or via FTP. SSH looking like only option.
Need help if anyone has experienced this.

A variety of improvements have modernized the park while staying true to its original Victorian character. In addition to six major projects and upgrading of the original bandstand, other changes include the addition of a Park Clock, a drinking fountain for people and pets, upgraded pathways, new shrubbery and flower beds, and new Victorian styled fixtures such as benches, lamps and waste receptacles. A sculpture of "The Skater" will represent the new life the park now has.

Hi I recently updated wordpress and magazine basic on http://cyclistsinternational.com, and of course didn't read the fine print, so I lost a lot of my formatting. Though much of the content is still there.
After spending some time on it, I did encounter some critical issues, however;
I had set up a long list of categories in hierarchy, that are reflected in the top nav bar.
However, now when I write a story I don't have access to them any more--the dialog box won't move down through the menu choices. I can't do it there or on the dashboard. Big problem, nothing is being categorized properly any more.
I can't seem to access my dashboard. The sign in used to appear on the upper right hand corner. No more. I can't find any back doors in either. So I can't change my site--at all.
I lost all the special programming my programmer did to accommodate my own ads. I guess I will have to rewrite these from scratch? they were created as stories and slotted into special spots. Unless someone here can recommend a good advertising widget, I never was able to find one that I could understand.
I don't like the new fonts in some instances, and in others the spacing is off, so words are being slammed to the edge in some of the widget boxes. Is there a way around this?
Other changes I do like however, so this is not really complaining, just adjusting...

VA Long-Term Care:
Service Gaps and Facility Restrictions Limit Veterans' Access to Noninstitutional Care
GAO-03-487: Published: May 9, 2003. Publicly Released: May 22, 2003.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In April 2002, at the request of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, we testified on variation in the availability of VA's noninstitutional long-term care services. Congress expressed concern that this variation could mean that some veterans did not have access to noninstitutional services because of gaps in service availability and because of the restrictions that some facilities might place on veterans' use of these services, such as limiting the amount of service a veteran may receive. To address these concerns, we updated and expanded our previous work to determine (1) whether veterans' access to six noninstitutional services is limited by service availability and restrictions on use and (2) if access is limited, what factors, contribute to limited access.
Veterans' access to the six noninstitutional long-term care services in our study is limited by the lack of service availability and restrictions on their use. Of VA's 139 facilities, 126 do not offer all six of the services. Veterans have the least access to noninstitutional respite care, which is not offered by 106 VA facilities. By contrast, skilled home health care is not offered at 7 facilities. Furthermore, veterans' access to care is more limited than these numbers suggest, because even when facilities offer these services they often do so in only parts of the geographic area they serve. In fact, for four of the six services--noninstitutional respite care, home-based primary care, adult day health care, and noninstitutional geriatric evaluation--the majority of facilities either do not offer the service or do not offer the service in the entire geographic area they serve. Veterans' access may be further limited by restrictions that individual facilities set for use of services they offer. For example, 9 facilities, in conflict with VA's eligibility standards, limited veterans' access to noninstitutional services based on their level of disability related to military service. Further, restrictions placed by many facilities on the number of veterans who can receive noninstitutional services have resulted in veterans at 57 of VA's 139 facilities being placed on waiting lists for noninstitutional services. VA's lack of emphasis on increasing access to noninstitutional long-term care services and a lack of guidance on the provision of these services have contributed to service gaps and individual facility restrictions. VA headquarters has not emphasized increasing access to these services by establishing measurable performance goals as it has for other priorities such as maintaining workloads in VA nursing homes. Without such performance measures, field officials faced with competing priorities have chosen to use available resources to address other priorities. VA has implemented a performance measure for fiscal year 2003 that encourages networks to increase veterans' use of five of the six noninstitutional services, but it does not require networks to ensure that all network facilities provide veterans access to noninstitutional services. Moreover, VA has not provided facilities with adequate guidance on the provision of noninstitutional respite care, even though most have had little experience in providing the service. Some networks and facilities are confused about how to provide the service and as a result some are not providing the service. VA has also not provided adequate guidance on which noninstitutional services are required. In particular, VA has not specified whether the home health services requirement includes one, all, or some combination of home-based primary care, homemaker/home health aide, and skilled home health care. In the absence of VA headquarters guidance on what home health services are required, VA facilities vary in their interpretations of what services they must provide.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA published an information letter on October 1, 2003, which clarified that, according to VA policy, home-based primary care, homemaker/home health aide, and skilled home health care are to be available for all enrolled, eligible veterans in need of such services. Facilities may directly provide or purchase these services for veterans. The letter was distributed to all facilities through email and is available on the VA web site.
Recommendation: To increase access to noninstitutional long-term care services and make access more even across networks and facilities, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to specify in VA policy whether home-based primary care, homemaker/home health aide, and skilled home health care are to be available to all enrolled veterans.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA issued a respite care handbook (VHA Handbook 1140.2) on May 15, 2003. The handbook provides a definition of respite care and gives guidance on the provision of respite care in noninstitutional settings. The handbook states that VA may provide noninstitutional respite care in-home as well as in adult day health care facilities. In-home respite care can be provided by homemaker/home health aide programs. In addition, the handbook clarifies that "a day" of noninstitutional respite is defined as any single day in which respite is provided for up to six hours of care in the home and greater than four hours of care in an adult day health care center.
Recommendation: To increase access to noninstitutional long-term care services and make access more even across networks and facilities, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to define and provide guidance on noninstitutional respite care.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In previous updates VA had mentioned monitoring electronic waiting lists to ensure ongoing compliance, but now reports that such efforts are better directed in monitoring VISN workload activity in relation to assigned targets. VA states that reports on home & and community-based care (H&CBC) census levels in comparison to targets are generated for each network on a monthly basis and are shared with the Deputy Under Secretary for Health for Operations and Management and VISN leadership. As of September 2007, the agency has a particular focus on H&CBC workload in selected networks which had experienced difficulty in reaching target levels over the past three years. While these efforts could be useful in addressing the recommendation, they do not ensure that facilities follow VA's eligibility standards when determining eligibility for noninstitutional long-term care services.
Recommendation: To increase access to noninstitutional long-term care services and make access more even across networks and facilities, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to ensure that facilities follow VA's eligibility standards when determining veteran eligibility for noninstitutional long-term care services.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: VA reports that it has created a mandate that all Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC) operate a minimum number (six of eight or seven of nine) of home-based long-term care services. VA reports it also expanded its oversight and monitors for low performing networks. While these actions could be useful in addressing GAO's recommendation, it does not ensure that all services are offered at all facilities as required.
Recommendation: To increase access to noninstitutional long-term care services and make access more even across networks and facilities, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Health to refine current performance measures to help ensure that all VA facilities provide veterans with access to required noninstitutional services.

I've been playing a lot of this board game 7 Wonders lately, with the premise being inspired by the wonders of the ancient world. Babylon has always been my favorite, even though it might be mythical: it was the only one that required constant intervention to still be wondrous, with living pieces of its mechanism, it was built not because of religion or a show of power or utilitarian uses, but because of love, and it just has the greatest name. The Hanging Gardens: how cool is that? I would love to write a series of poems, or at least a long-ish one, on the mythology behind it.
They stand at an interesting nexus, too. I think of water, gardens, Babylon, and a noble woman when I think of them, and all the combinations: water and Babylon (which makes me think of the Flood), water and a noble woman (which makes me think of Ophelia), gardens and Babylon (which makes me think of the dawn of agriculture), gardens and a noble woman (which is a mythic trope you find again and again in literature), etc. I thought about trying to work a lot of that into this piece, but it is intended to be short form, so… not so much.
DVerse is asking for short form pieces. I've also been into the Imagists lately (by which I mean this weekend), so Ezra Pound (for all his faults) and WCW have been on the mind. I haven't really done much with the lune, the 5/3/5 "American haiku" that has been bandied about from time to time, so here's three of them on the vine. Kept very passive and Imagist, I think. There's some little sound device treats mixed in as well, but I think the deeper narrative stuff will have to wait for another, longer poem.
Three Lunes in a Hanging Garden
Tea roses hung from
the terrace
drip a slow, red braid.
Screws turn the rainfall
darkness is named shade.
Fire on the roof and
a flood dream
make a decent trade.
