Skip to comments.Buffalo Man Who Launched Network to Show Muslims in Positive Light Arrested for Beheading His Wife
Posted on 02/13/2009 11:48:29 AM PST by LdSentinal
NEW YORK A prominent Buffalo area businessman who founded the BridgesTV network to improve the image of Muslims in the U.S. has been arrested and charged with murdering his estranged wife by beheading hear at his companys office on Thursday.
Police have charged the husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder in death of Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37.
In its logo, BridgesTV boasts of connecting people through understanding via its dish network. Its Web site quotes comments on the company by Jay Leno, Brian Williams and others, plus a screen shot of a CNBC interview with Hassan conducted by Maria Bartiromo.
The site also shows a picture of Hassan with his slain wife, described as playing an instrumental role in the creation of Bridges TV since she came up with the idea for the network.
NPR's "All Things Considered" profile the Hassans in 2004. The segment opened, "A new cable network for Muslim-Americans is up and running in Detroit. Bridges TV says it wants to inform and entertain Muslims and, at the same time, give viewers who aren't Muslims a glimpse into their culture....
"Mo Hassan was traveling from Buffalo to Detroit a few weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks when his wife came up with the idea for the new network. They were in the car listening to the radio when they heard some derogatory remarks about Muslims."
Programs include kids shows, "American Muslim Teen Talk," Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now" and an interview show with James Zogby. Its new program "brings you balanced coverage from around the world. News you can trust."
The alleged killer is called Mo S. Hassan at the web site. He is CEO of the company after stints as a sales rep at Proctor & Gamble and as a banker in Buffalo. He got his MBA at the University of Rochester. The bio concludes: Mr. Hassan brings to Bridges TV vision, persistence, data-based decision making and financial discipline.
Police says the wife had an order of protection from the man. A murder weapon has not yet been recovered.
second-degree murder ?????????????
You can't make this stuff up!
How's THAT piece of paper treat'n you?
What irony.
Eek. Poor woman.
I bet none of those cited here mention him, or his laughable organization, again.
Religion of peace alert.
Bet ya' never saw this coming ping.
BridgesTV boasts of connecting people through understanding"
And also "disconnecting people from their heads through the neck"
Islam, religion of peace?
Sounds like a SNL skit.
Well THAT ought to improve the image of "main-stream" Muslims.
Racist police have prevented this man from following his religion.
Call the ACLU!
"It's all a big misunderstanding."
The "Religion" of "Peace" strikes again.
They also had those Lackawanna terrorists.
Are they the new Muslim HQ (after Detroit)?
About as effective as those Gun Free zone signs.
Well, that is a slight improvement in understanding, I guess.
That 'n a .357, maybe...
Colonel, USAFR
Can we call it a violent cult that's incompatible with Western Civilization yet?
I shouldn't be laughing, but I almost fell on the floor at this.
There goes the reruns!!!!!
Should be, "Disconnecting HEADS through savage, uncontrollable impulses guided by our SO-CALLED 'Religion'".
2nd degree? Are you kidding? Did she fall on the knife?
Yeah, I want to know how they got 2nd degree, too.
I guess that they can't prove premediation.
Scrappleface ain't got nothing on the ROP...
Beheading? "Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
The left tolerates this crap because the fight a common enemy. Christianity.
And they fight for a common "father" - the father of lies.
No thanks. I've seen enough muslim "culture".
I think 2nd degree means that he it wasn't pre-meditated.
Like, they got in an argument and he beheaded her by accident.
Don't bring paper to a beheading, when a handgun could be SO much more effective.
This reminds me of the feng shui master who went amok and killed his entire family.
She had an order of protection...
That means someone in the court system believed she was in danger...
Here in TN both husband and wife have to appear in court for the judge to hand down a OOP...
BTW if she had one, why was she at his office ???
Some people learn about Islam too late.
Makes as much sense as passing a bill called a stimulus package.
I think that what a lot of us have a hard time understanding is that this guy KNOWS he didn't do anything wrong.
Mo Hassan was traveling from Buffalo to Detroit a few weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks when his wife came up with the idea for the new network.
This was one of the most despicable consequences of 9/11: Muslims using an atrocity committed by their "brothers" as an opportunity to recruit converts. Shameless.
Atleast he'd know where to hide the bodies!
Yeah maybe he was just cleaning his ax and it went off...
through the air and landed accidently wedged in her neck...
Ya gotta be careful...
Ax control laws coming right up...
I wonder if he thought the feng shui was better after he got done?
Now you'd think those TV purveyors of tawdry crime trash on PrimeTimeTV like Susteren and Grace and others would highlight this as a prime indicator of the violence against women in the Islami community. But, NOOOOOO!
I remember this ballyhooed channel launch.
"I think 2nd degree means that he it wasnt pre-meditated. Like, they got in an argument and he beheaded her by accident.
Oh, I see. So, somewhere between knocking her to the ground, holding her on the floor, reaching for the knife, pulling her hair back so her neck was exposed, then pulling her head back, and beginning to slit her throat, there was no premeditation. Gotcha'! Makes sense to me. Maybe her neck fell UP against the knife too . . . then it would be suicide.
". . . he beheaded her by accident."
Ayup; happens all the time.
/yes, humor/
Bridges TV says it wants to .....give viewers who aren't Muslims a glimpse into their culture....
Well the viewers cant complain of false advertising...
I can hardly wait to see this story it headlined in the MSM.

As a Marketing Consultant, I'm always thinking about how to get a good, quality, prospect lead. But I'm also a consumer that hates getting unsolicited phone calls. Oddly, I find it an invasion of my private space because answering a call instantly stops the momentum of whatever task I was working on. Caller ID certainly help me screen calls, but it doesn't help me block unwanted calls.
I especially hate those annoying, pre-recorded messages. Occasionally I'm tempted to hang on the line waiting if I'm offered a number to press to get removed. I've discovered that most times there is no such option so now I just hang up immediately.
Fortunately the National Do Not Call Registry is a way to help reduce the annoying distractions of unwanted sales calls on your home or mobile phone.
How To Stop Unwanted Calls…
It's managed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Basically you add your phone number to the national list. Reputable marketers agree to take that data, compare against their own telemarketing lists, and suppress the people who've requested not to receive sales calls.
It's very easy to add your mobile or home phone number:
- Go to https://www.donotcall.gov
- Add up to 3 mobile or home phone numbers along with an active email address.
- You will receive an email for each phone number you submitted.
Subject line: "National Do Not Call Registry – OPEN AND CLICK on Link to Complete Your Registration"
You must open each email and click each confirmation link within 72 hours to complete this step otherwise your number(s) wont be added to the do not call list. If you don't get the email, be sure to check your email spam/junk mail folder in case it was misfiled. If you have more than 3 phone numbers to add (your parents, your kids, etc.), simply start the process over again. It will accept the same email address again.
Fortunately, your registration will no longer expire after a period of time (like it used to). According to the website:
Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008.
Of course, there's no guarantee that it stops all unwanted telemarketing sales calls, but you should experience a noticeable decline when reputable marketers updated their contact lists.
Finally, whenever you do receive an unsolicited sales call with a live human on the other end, simply be polite and say:
"Please remove me from your contact list. Thank you."
While we're on the issue of privacy, follow these steps to remove your Spokeo listing.
That's it. Hope you find this helpful.
If it didn't work for you, there's nothing I can do to help you with that. Please don't call me or email me if you have difficulty with the United States National Do Not Call Registry.
Thank you.

It has now been well over 2 months and there has still been no confirmation. Today i tried to make a phone call to the same number above and the line has been disconnected. I searched the internet for the website that is now gone. I searched for other phone numbers as well, only to find 3 other phone numbers that are non existant.
I am raging with anger that this company can do this to me and probably thousands or maybe millions of others out there. i hope justice is done and that these innocent people are given back their hard earned money.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

In order to perform at-home test for iodine deficiency, you will need tincture of iodine, sold in pharmacies, which is also used as first aid for cuts and bruises.
- Using a cotton ball, apply the solution (a bronzy-orange patch) in a 2 inch circular shape on a soft (word missing)
- Leave the area undisturbed for at least 24 hours
Results: (according to Guy E. Abraham, MD., Thyroidologist)
If it disappears in less than eight hours, you desperately need iodine.
If it disappears in 24 hours, you also need iodine.
If it simply stays on your arm and begins to slowly fade in color after a full 24 hours, you have already reached iodine sufficiency.
You can retest yourself every one to two weeks while taking an iodine supplement. And you can use the test to help you judge your individual dosage need for iodine. Contrary to current medical opinion, the real thyroid experts have proven that most patients who need iodine therapy require from 3 to 37 mgs/day.
Always start out slowly. Judge your results, monitor your symptoms and any side effects, and use the thyroid patch test to help you along the way.
Why check your iodine levels?
Children: According to public health researches, iodine deficiency is one the major causes for mental retardation in children. For combating this problem, the exclusive option is to provide adequate amount of this trace element.
Adults: In adults, insufficient intake of iodine causes:
- tiredness
- lack of stamina
- increased tension (edgy)
- hypothyroidism
- restless sleep
- and general body pain.
In case of suspected iodine deficiency symptoms, one can conduct an at-home iodine deficiency test or visit the doctor for diagnosis.
Because the symptoms of an iodine deficiency are classically identical to so many other illnesses (like depression, stress, chronic fatigue, or fibromyalgia,) many doctors either misdiagnose it or miss it completely and tell you there is nothing wrong.
Why are iodine levels so important?
Low levels of iodine mean your thyroid isn't functioning properly. The thyroid helps balance hormones, regulate heartbeats, stabilize cholesterol, maintain weight control, encourage muscle growth, keep menstrual cycles regular, provide energy, and even helps you keep a positive mental attitude.
WHY are Women naturally prone to iodine deficiencies. That's because the thyroid gland in women is twice as large as in men — so under normal circumstances, women need more iodine. However, when women are under stress, the need for iodine can double or triple. Yet the foods we eat contain less and less dietary iodine. For example, back in 1940, the typical American diet contained about 800 micrograms of iodine. By 1995, that amount plunged to just 135 micrograms. That's an 83% decline.
Two thirds of the body's iodine is found in the thyroid gland.
According to Dr. Abraham, all thyroid patients should be on iodine therapy, with the goal to reach a whole body iodine sufficiency. When this state is reached, the following results (gathered using sophisticated lab testing, fluorescence screening, clinical measurements, and a host of other high-tech medical testing procedures) have been observed:
Goiter is reduced or eliminated.
Stress on the pituitary gland with resultant high TSH readings is eliminated.
Increased excretion of thyroid poisons and heavy metals occurs via the kidneys.
The liver's detoxification mechanisms are enhanced.
Obesity is more easily overcome-in fact, iodine therapy may be a critical and unknown factor in obesity.
Diabetes and high blood pressure are more easily controlled.
Breast tissue normalizes with decreased occurrences of fibrocystic breast disease.
Menopausal symptoms are improved.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome can be cured.
Brain function is better, with less brain fog.
Heart function is better, with reduced arrhythmia problems.
And cancer rates, especially of the thyroid and breast, are reduced.
Additionally, through iodine testing, Dr. Abraham discovered that even patients with a complete thyroidectomy (removal of the whole gland) benefited from iodine therapy. Therefore it became known that iodine not only improved the thyroid gland, but the other target areas of the body where iodine and thyroid hormone are active.
Doctors involved in research on iodine found that patients who achieved "iodine sufficiency" were often able to resolve diabetes problems without insulin. They could normalize blood pressure without medication. Goiters were resolved. And those taking thyroid hormone medication could greatly reduce or completely eliminate these drugs.
Food Choices re Iodine:
One way to boost your iodine levels is to add sea vegetables to your diet. Just one teaspoon of sea vegetables a day can help you regain normal iodine levels.
Incorporating seafood and fish into your diet can also help.
Other foods that contain iodine are eggs and dairy products, including milk, cheese and yogurt, onions, radishes, and watercress.
To reactivate the thyroid gland, tyrosine, iodine, zinc, copper and selenium are needed so make sure that you have a great diet, and take an excellent quality multiple vitamin/mineral EVERY DAY.
Lab Tests for Iodine Deficiency
A diagnostic approach used to confirm iodine deficiency is urine test. For this, a candidate's urine sample is collected in early morning. Then, the candidate administers an iodine tablet of specific dosage. Further urine samples are collected and sent to the laboratory for testing. In case of normal iodine levels, the body expels more than 90 percent of the ingested iodine. While in case of deficiency, part of the element is retained in the body. If high amount of iodine is absorbed by the body, it indicates severe deficiency and vice versa.
A Hair Analysis is also a good test to determine the amount of iodine concentrated in cellular tissue.
For symptoms related to thyroid abnormalities, the doctor may suggest thyroid tests. Though they do not involve direct measurement of iodine levels, deficiency of iodine can be identified from the test results. Thus, in women, children and men, lack of this trace element is detected while undergoing diagnostic tests for thyroid problems. Nevertheless, urine test performed after oral loading of iodine is more accurate and reliable than the thyroid hormone test.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I really like the dwarves. They are very good soldiers. They also seem to be the race which most makes things happen. The Noldor tried to defeat Morgoth, but were ultimatly defeated. The Sindar could not keep peacefulness. Men can't keep Numenore, and fail in destroying the ring. But Dwarves? They don't do much, but what they say they will do, they do. Through persistence and stubbornness, they get the job done. That is a really cool trait, and I admire them for it.
Where were the armies of Mirkwood?
Undoubtedly one of my favorite traits of the dwarfs as well, although their hardiness and stubbornness is not always a good thing.
Cheers for posting
Thanks Glorfindel,
Now I am not trying to take away from any other Guilds currently running, but would it be cool if I started a guild about the war, where the dwarves, elves and northmen had their stories justly told in greater depth?
Feedback would be epic?
you could write some fan-fic about it, that's usually something fun to do.
Cool, I shall try that
So, i think that king Dain had a great friendship with Brand because of the fact that he was slain defending the body of his stricken ally. If Pellennor fields was lost than all of Eastern ME would of been under complete rule for the forces of Evil. The dwarves were outnumbered and they retreated to the lonely Mountain. so there they waited for the Men of the West to win the "Greatest Battle of Our Time!"
I feel the same way, the friendship was true and very real; and indeed Pelenor Fields was "the greatest battle of our time" but what would have happened if the battle of Pelenor was won but, the battle of Dale had been lost, what would have happened."When you think of the great Battle of the Pelennor, do not forget the battles in Dale and the valour of Durin's Folk. Think of what might have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador! There might be no Queen in Gondor."I felt proud when I read this, the scenario was comment worthy, or so Gandalf thought.

Finally we now have a levels systems. We're open to making changes on it and would appreciate feedback.
The standard is at least 150 games played with the Pens:
For last week, Paul Martin is in the Money Zone:
He is doing everything he has been signed to do. Move the puck, eat big minutes, and chip in with some points.
"I asked him if he wanted a trade," Shero told ESPN.com this week."He was embarrassed by his year," Shero said.But Martin looked at his boss and insisted he wanted to stay. He told Shero he didn't want to take the easy way out. Moreover, Martin pledged to return this season a different player, the old player, the player that had made him one of the top free-agent defensemen on the market in 2010.
"He said, 'I do not want to be traded. I came here for a reason, and you signed me for a reason,'" Shero recalled Martin saying. "He said, 'If I do come back, you're going to see a different player.'"

Skip to comments.FL lawyer says Giuliani, Romney, McCain wrong on Schiavo case
Posted on 05/28/2007 9:33:12 AM PDT by wagglebee
click here to read article
Schiavo timeline troubles governor
Published June 17, 2005
"Bush said he decided to seek the investigation after talking with Dr. Jon Thogmartin, the Pinellas-Pasco medical examiner who spent nearly 11 weeks preparing Schiavo's autopsy report, and learning that the doctor could not determine what led Schiavo to collapse in 1990".....
"What he did say to me that was troubling ... was that there was some doubt about when she collapsed and how long it took for a phone call to be made to 911," Bush said. "I think that is worthy of some investigation."
Jeb Bush asks for investigation after talking with Thogmartin.
CREMATION APPROVAL (Florida Statutes 406.11(1)(c))
1. Before authorizing the irretrievable disposal of a body by cremation, the Medical Examiner must be assured that no future question will arise about the cause or circumstances of the death of the individual.
There you are!
Let's also give credit to George Greer for authorizing the cremation; indeed, years in advance -- at Terri's expense! (Another item they raided out of her therapy trust fund.) If I recall, it was a religious sore point, too. As a Catholic, Terri would surely have wished interment rather than cremation.
As I recall, according to Michael, Terri didn't like "bugs". That was the reason to honor her "wishes" to be cremated. Greer agreed and that is why the Schindlers were not successful in their endeavor to have a normal burial.
And despite what I posted about Florida's cremation laws, Thugmartin didn't delay it by one minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I suppose that's why he wouldn't let her have religious medallions or cards in her room, and why he wouldn't let her take Holy Communion (2003 murder attempt). Michael was being his usual spiteful self, inflicting as much evil as he could conceive on his victim. Like any sociopath, he blamed her for what he did.
Contrary to Florida statute, the M.E. was by no means "assured that no future question will arise about the cause or circumstances of the death of the individual" when he did it.
I can think of a question or two that either went unanswered or got dubious answers that needed rechecking. I have no doubt that a top pathologist could think of several more very pointed questions.
He's two for two now.
That is sort of stupid, isn't it? He didn't know the answer to his doubts to begin with. Where did you get that quote at, Matt?
For some reason, You sound very out of sorts tonight. Not your usual style. Are you responding to me or someone else?
Goodness, my apologies! I was being scornful of Michael's claim about the "bugs."
From you :-) -- up in #1701. And a nice find it was. Matt probably never heard of that statute.
You have a nice sleep tonight, T'wit. : ) It can get to us, I know.
I was just thinking I'd take a swan dive and hope to hit the bed :-) See ya tomorrow.
Btw, I wonder if the M.E. would be required to save those implants? Looks like there is more to the story than what we are led believe, too.
Not sure what you mean by implants?
The M.E. presumably is saving all tissue samples that were taken, including brain tissues. Whether that could do any good, I don't know. What I think we needed was soft tissue from the neck for doing sophisticated testing that could still reveal strangulation signs, even after all the years. We'll have to get some expert opinion.
The stimulator electrodes that were implanted.
I lifted this whole smear from another website. It also has information on what the FDA warning was on implants and how Nelson misstates what they said. The whole thing is worth the read, but the pertinent part I am referring to is toward the bottom.
"Finally, I dont understand Dr. Nelsons defense of the decision not to do an MRI. It adds nothing to the findings, is hardly objective and seems to serve only as CYA foliage.
He bases it on potential harm that could have happened to Terri because of the implanted stimulatorsbut says nothing about whether those stimulators couldnt have been safely removed. Further, he has a little problem with how he argues that part of his report, calling his objectivity in to question."
"Dr. Boyle of Code Blue Blog disagreed with that assessment and he is a radiologistthe kind of dotor who would actually administer the MRI. He says in the post linked below (again in comments):"
"In addition, it is hard to believe that anyone inserted electrodes, in 1992, that had paramagnetic properties that would preclude an MRI of the brain currently. I doubt that. Most of those devices are titanium or stainless steel, which are unaffected by MRI. Besides, with MRI, in that type of situation, the only reason not to do an MRI is because you are looking for information in the region of the artifact, where there would be distortion of the image.
If the items are not paramagnetic (like iron), there would be no danger and no contraindication to an MRI. Sounds bogus to me."
Probably 'selective' tissue at best. I say that because of what he says in the autopsy report. For example:
"On March 29th 2004, a Hospice nurse noted apparent injection sites on Mrs. Schiavo's arms, and what appeared to be a plastic needle cap was also found in her room. Reportedly, these were discovered by Hospice shortly after a visit by her parents." In response to this, Michael had her examined at the hospital."
Okay, this was meant to explore an attempt on Terri's life, I guess. He also pointed out Nurse Iyer's affidavit with the insulin charge. I just wonder why he didn't mention that Michael actually tried to kill her in 1993 by withholding antibiotics? Does that seem fair and balanced?
It's that white thing in the middle, I believe:
Dr. Boyle's point is interesting. I remember the excuse they used for not doing one, namely, that an MRI would fry the brain area around the implant. It was my understanding that a functional MRI (fMRI) could be done safely, but never was. However, I'm not a medic so would be glad to get professional advice on such questions.
I understand. The only reason I thought it could be plural is because if a bird sits on a high voltage power line, nothing happens. That doesn't mean I am right. Did Dr. Nelson tell us exactly what the situation was?
I was struck by SueBob's lawyerly point that Dr. Nelson's reference to the implant didn't belong in the autopsy report. It was like he was offering a legal argument. It was CYA. He was making excuses for the lack of an MRI -- unconvincingly. SueBob pointed out that this was defensive argument, not objective reporting... and wondered why he did it? It reduced his credibility. She came back to this point several times in her blogging.
Dr. Nelson further reduced his credibility by saying Terri's condition "was consistent with" PVS, which is meaningless or an illegitimate post-mortem finding. Her condition was just as "consistent with" higher states of consciousness. Nelson was stacking the deck. He did it much more flamboyantly by comparing Terri's brain weight to Karen Ann Quinlan's. That is grandstanding, not objectivity.
This may very well be another strangulation that he missed. He should put his skill at missing strangulations on his resume.
Probably not, but it will be easy to find in a book. It really doesn't matter for our discussion.
Bttt. I think this thread has unanswered questions and room to grow. Whatchya think?
This thread is a keeper! It is chock full of info, and largely thanks to those hapless trolls who unwittingly did good while trying to do bad all in the name of unintended consequences.
So long as they are kept on a leash, they can be handy and fun even if they nip anyone who comes too near, but do have some use.
The thread may become useful as a reference thread, and as it remains active, is likely to attract some more contention.
Wow, look how your thread developed!
We had a number of trolls who decided to euthanize themselves!
As the troll stood, gun pointing to his head, his wife pleaded, "Please do not kervorkian yourself."
"Shut up," he said, "You're next!"
Romans 8:28:
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
I have a dear friend (indeed, a former or inactive Freeper) who argues that this is the most important verse in scripture. It certainly demands the closest contemplation and study.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Four shots Kevorked into my groin and I was off on the greatest adventure of my life."
(Now let's see if we have any Max Shulman fans around here :-) )
I was a fan of Max Shulman. Can we say Rally Round the Flag, Boys? It was one of my treasures of youth. His humor fit right in. But I confess, I can't place your Bang.
My introduction to Shulman was "Barefoot Boy with Cheek." This book had an even better first line... think about it :-) ... sticking a pushpin into his alma mater: "St. Paul and Minneapolis extend from the Mississippi River like the legs on a pair of trousers. Where they join is the University of Minnesota."
In fact, the whole book was a spoof on the U. of Minnesota, with such characters as Asa Hearthrug (our hero), Lodestone la Toole, his hometown sweetheart who eats lard sandwiches, Yetta Samovar, the campus subversive, and Noblesse Oblige, a member of the Beta Thigh sorority. (Asa's fraternity, which he joined because he fell into their pit trap, was Alpha Cholera.) The stupid athlete was named Eino Flikkeninnen, or something along those lines. SO Minnesota.

Time will tell. I suggest we all keep track of his progress, and update this thread at the end of the year.
He was a minor leaguer in our system,and since he is not on the Reds I was not sure if I should post it on The Sun Deck.
Germano has had as much success on the road as at home. Also, it's interesting to compare his ERA to two S.D. teammates: Maddux, 4.19, Wells, 4.31. Germano: 3.90. Ballpark considerations should be relatively irrelevant there. I assume Reds fans would like to have either Maddux or Wells in our rotation. Certainly the book is still out on Germano. In fact, we don't have enough data to know what he's likely to do. But he has won 5 games, pitched at least as well as anyone in our rotation except for Harang. Let's give him credit for what he's accomplished. It's hard to see how anyone could defend Krivsky's trading him for Cormier. In my view, it's one of several very bad decisions he has made and part of a disturbing pattern of trading major league quality talent for no return: Kearns, Lopez, Harris, C.Ross, Germano, Hancock. By next year we may be adding Denorfia to that list. That's a lot of major league value for any club to lose without any major league return.
We laso got everyone of thoses players, save Kearns, in trades giving up little to get them in the first place.
I'd take Billy Bray over any one of those players today.
At the time of the trade of Germano to Philadelphia, Cormier was a good pickup on paper. During 2006 in Philly, his ERA was 1.59 in 43 appearances. He had allowed only 2 HR in 34 innings. His K/BB was not great (13/13) but he got batters out and kept the other team from scoring.
Meanwhile, Germano's ERA was 5.40 and he had given up one HR in 6 innings. Perhaps that's not a large enough sample size, but during his first tenure in San Diego his ERA was 8.86 after 21 innings and 5 starts. (Those numbers would have many calling for him to be sent to Louisville or released outright.)
I believe most of us would have traded for Cormier in 2006 as well given those numbers.
if your not willing to trade AAA starters for major league relievers then what are you willing to trade? Its not like Germano is some cant miss pitcher. Like others have said he was given chances before. Cormier was having a great season and is about the best kind of reliever your going to get through a trade unless you give more than they are worth. Its easy to second guess after the fact. At the time of the trade I too would have liked to see Germano stay in the Reds organization but you have to remember they were desperate for pen help and Cormier was cheap for the year he was having.
It's good not to make trades from desperation. They'll almost certainly be bad. Pointing out Krivsky's bad trades is not second guessing. It's making clear what he cannot continue to do if the organization is to stay even mildly competitive--that is, consistently give away major league value for no return. He's done that six times so far--Kearns, Lopez, Harris, Hancock, C.Ross, Germano. It looks like he may have done it again in Denorfia for McBeth, and he has quite possibly done it in last year's draft, where he spent an 8th pick in the first round (not just a first-round pick, the 8th pick overall) on a guy whose major league future looks very very remote at the moment. If he does as badly in the next round of trades he's going to make, he's gone.
At the time Germano for Cormier looked like a good trade that might give the Reds a good reliever who might make a difference to get them to the postseason. Things did not work out the way the Reds would have liked, and they lost a potential prospect for a pitcher who wasn't here long. Things sometimes happen that way in trades, and we will see if Krivsky can do better when he deals with the trade deadline at the end of the month.
How many times is Krivsky going to be allowed to make similar mistakes? That's the only question that matters regarding his management.
So now we can add Germano to the list:
If the Reds only kept Lopez (.242 BA, 4 HR), Kearns (.250 BA, 5HR), and Germano, they'd be the best team in the NL.
Anyway, I don't wish anything bad for Germano but he's definitely trending down lately. He's only given up 7 HR all year but 4 of them have been in his last 3 starts. His ERA in May was 1.08; in June it was 4.03; after 2 starts in July it's 10.13. His K/BB ratio is trending down as well: May - almost 5:1. June - 3:1. July - 1:1.
Still, he could turn out to be a great pitcher. I just believe it's a bit early to deem him a mistake trade by Krivsky.
I don't think the mistake was necessarily in trading him, but trading him for a pitcher who was bad enough to be released by the team a year later. It may have loked like a good trade at the time for Krivsky, but I am sure he could have gotten a better player in return than Rheal Cormier. I am sure Germano will go through a bad steak like he is now, but I think we should have picked him up again after the Phillies released him

I'm just finished a deta recovery of my site,But I think it's not working ancora yet specially the part of plugins.
In the control panel of plugins,Wordpress says

Skip to comments.Incarceration Cost for Federal inmates: $21,601 per inmate.
Posted on 03/19/2002 1:50:22 PM PST by Lockbox
[Federal Register: March 19, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 53)] [Notices]
[Page 12586]
From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
Bureau of Prisons
Annual Determination of Average Cost of Incarceration
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates is $21,601.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320 First St., NW., Washington, DC 20405.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, (202) 307-2105.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 28 CFR part 505 allows for assessment and collection of a fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates. We calculate this fee by dividing the number representing Bureau facilities' obligation (excluding activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for preceding fiscal year, and then by multiplying the quotient by 365 (or, since 2000 was a leap year, by 366).
Under Sec. 505.2, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons has reviewed the amount of the fee and has determined that, based upon fiscal year 2000 data, the fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates is $21,601.
Kathleen Hawk Sawyer,
Director, Bureau of Prisons.
[FR Doc. 02-6592 Filed 3-18-02; 8:45 am]
So at 21,601 each we payed $15,120,700,000 (that's 15 billion, 120 million, 700 thousand dollars) last year to incarcerate pot smokers. Yeah-hooooooo. Great use of tax dollars if you ask me. (I know you didn't "ask" but I couldn't resist)
The inhabitants, however, are not soldiers, but residents of an unusual, some say brutal, prison run by legendary lawman Joe Arpaio, called the toughest sheriff in the West.
For the Maricopa County sheriff, who opened the nation's largest tent prison in 1993, saving taxpayer pennies matters more than comforting convicted felons.
"We took away coffee, that saved $150,000 a year. Why do you need coffee in jail?" says Arpaio, patrolling the dusty, barren grounds. "Switched to bologna sandwiches, that saved half a million dollars a year."
Arpaio makes inmates pay for their meals, which some say are worse than those for the guard dogs. Canines eat $1.10 worth of food a day, the inmate 90 cents, the sheriff says. "I'm very proud of that too."
Critics rail against harsh conditions in the prison, where temperatures can top 100 degrees.
"We still have rights, but they act like we're scum," one inmate complains.
Adds Eleanor Eisenberg of the ACLU: "Sheriff Arpaio has conditions in his jail that are inhumane, and he's proud of it."
Arpaio boasts of his chain gangs for men and women, which "contribute thousands of dollars of free labor to taxpayers each month," according to his Web site.
Just caught with pot? The guys that stole my ramset also were charged with possession, does that count them? According to our LEOs it does. According to them, the reports they submit to state and fed cannot be culled by potheads to make a distinction between a robbery with pot possession vs. possession only.
Ive never heard of anyone just caught with pot being in a federal prison. Its always the guy who kills someone evading arrest and *just happens to be in possession of pot* that gets that sentence. Or the guy who shot a passenger on an AC transit bus in our town for smoking crack on the bus - when he was apprehended, he was found to possess pot. Surprise.
For those who might be unaware, San Clemente Island is a Naval Gunnery Range. That would give the pilots practice on their strafing and bombing runs to really see how accurate they are.
The inmates that are deserving of such treatment would be child molesters, murderers, serial rapists and of course those we are holding at Guantanamo. After questioning, they can be sent to San Clemente Island.
Maybe then more folks will do something to stay out of prison - like OBEYING the law.
If you think that 20% of the federal inmate population is there for pot possession, you're smoking some of the extra powerful stuff.
I was looking for Texas cost and the following is the per day cost for facilities in fiscal yr 2000.. Which appears to be well below federal cost.
State Jails...
Institutional Division
Guess I should change my tune tho. I don't know so I shouldn't have posted those numbers.
All I know is that the cost of tracking down, arresting, booking, incarcerating and trying pot smokers is too damn much.
That's bureaucrat-speak for construction costs.
It's just another attempt by the government to cover their asses, just like they do with education. I assume that you all realize that when a city/county/state gives you the average cost per child for education, they exclude the "activation costs", that is, the construction costs, as well as the major repair costs.
and they don't believe it kills brain cells...
According to this report there were an estimated 14,453 federal marijuana prisoners at the end of 1997 (12.7% BTW). I'm not sure what the conversion of 1997 dollars to today dollars would be so I'll just use today dollars. At 21,601 times 14,453 each and an average sentance of 3.25 years (also in the link) we come up with a grand total of 1,014,647,572.25. Just over a billion to cover the total incarceration of mj smokers every three years.
I see no good reason why people should be looked up for decades or for life. Secure the violent ones while they are awaiting trial, appeals, & execution -- all on an expedited fast track. Impose restitution, community service, & probation for the non-violent criminals. This would keep the non-violent ones from being trained to become violent ones, and would make them productive citizens instead of a net drain on society. The violent ones need to be eliminated, period. This needs to be done for the sake of the potential future victims, for no jail can be made 100% escape-proof.
Simply put, typical prison meals have long constituted cruel and unusual punishment. With October 2000's good news that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons will provide healthy vegan options at every meal at all federal prisons, that's about to change.
This progress comes just weeks after the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine filed an affidavit to support the lawsuit by Keith Maydak, an inmate at Pennsylvania's Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary trying to ensure that he and other prisoners could get such meals. In May 2000, a federal judge encouragingly ruled that Mr. Maydak's lawsuit is "substantially likely to succeed."
Surely, only the most vindictive would force prisoners onto bread and water. However, most current fare is actually worse, both for the long-term health of inmates and society.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio feeds inmates donated bologna sandwiches and ham. Some Maryland inmates make processed meats such as beef patties, stew meats, and turkey loaf. In Iqualuit, Nunavat, Canada, Inuit inmates undertake hunting expeditions. Prisoners don't just do time, they do cholesterol.
Enough already. The time is right to dramatically improve prison meals by taking meat off the menus: in with the bean burritos, out with the beef burgers. That could shrink prison budgets, prisoner waistlines, and some prisoners' violent tendencies. Who would argue against that?
Recently, Sheriff Michael Hennessey had the San Francisco Jail join county jails in Oregon and jails and prisons in the Atlanta area by regularly serving vegan meals. He did so after receiving hundreds of letters and e-mails from concerned doctors, dietitians, and activists worldwide, to accommodate the ethical beliefs of vegan then-inmate Gerard "Jerry" Livernois.
As of mid-1998, the United States incarcerated a staggering 1.8 million people, double the number from 12 years earlier, according to the U.S. Justice Department. At three meals per day, that's more than 1.9 billion meals served annually. With more inmates, reducing costs counts more than ever. Switching from a meat-based diet to a health-promoting vegan menu can save lots of money.
Consider the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the second-largest U.S. prison system, which serves state inmates VitaPro, a vitamin-rich, texturized, soy-based, meat-flavored alternative from Montreal. Texas prisons cut weekly meat consumption by 70,000 pounds, a 50-percent reduction. (Some federal prisons also serve this alternative to beef and chicken.) Texas reports a 43-percent cost savings over meat, and inmate reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. As an added bonus, vegan meals can easily satisfy requirements for such special health concerns as diabetes. And VitaPro products are kosher and halal, meeting religious needs.
On New York City's 10-jail Rikers Island, some of the 16,000 inmates tend gardens that in 1998 produced 30,000 pounds of fresh vegetables, worth more than $8,100and bestowed psychological benefits as well as practical skillswith virtually no trouble reported. It's an experiment being tried in too few places.
Besides saving money, vegan diets also mean healthier inmates, decreasing hospital and infirmary expenses. Vegan diets cut the risk of heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, some cancers, and other chronic illnesses. (According to a 1995 PCRM study published in the journal Preventive Medicine, meat consumption may cause $61 billion annually in direct U.S. health care costs for just seven disease groups.)
Other practical reasons support dropping animal products from prison menus.
The surge of U.S. school and workplace shootings has again spotlighted societal violence. Most people, rightly horrified, ask "Why?" And discovering what causes horrendous behavior certainly has value. But often overlooked is how to transform the violent-oriented portion of the current prison populationalmost all of whom will eventually rejoin society.
Medical research links consumption of meat (and sugar) to aggravated mood swings and violent outbreaks among prisoners. In 1992, a study in the British medical journal The Lancet linked men's blood-serum triglyceride levels (raised by meat-eating) to hostile acts and domineering attitudes. By contrast, results from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, published in 1991 in Psychosomatic Medicine, indicate hormone changes coming from plant-based diets can check aggressive tendencies.
Such findings suggest plant-food diets not only lessen health problems, but also can foster safer prisons. Furthermore, many vegetarian inmates ethically object to eating animal products.
Reducing violence, improving inmate health, and saving money are all important goals. Making prison menus vegan can further those ends and help bring about a more peaceful society for all.
A few years ago there was a riot at the Memphis Federal prison. They destroyed MILLIONS of dollars in government property including the musical instruments we provided them.
WE the TaxSerfs had to replace them at $2,500 per month so they wouldn't have to go out to bids. We bought them mandolins, guitar strings, a piano, mike stands, etc. Took several months for the order to be completed so as not to bump the bid thing.
Before gov taxquist became governor the death row inmates had ALL their meals catered from a high class hotel in Nashville. That is the only thing he's done right as gov is to stop it and sign one death warrant on a child killer.

Grants to help on disaster prepJanuary 09,2013
WATERBURY — The state is again accepting grant applications for funding for cities, towns and certain nonprofits to help prevent future damage caused by natural disasters.
The money comes from the federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to help municipalities fix public infrastructure, buy out homes and businesses, and carry out other projects designed to minimize or prevent damage in floods and other natural disasters.
Eligible projects could include flood-proofing; raising or relocating public buildings; culvert replacement and repairs to drainage systems in areas that frequently flood; and buyouts of private properties and businesses in flood-prone areas.
Communities must submit a letter of intent to apply for funding to the Vermont Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security by Jan. 18. Completed applications are due by Feb. 1. Applications are available at the division's website at www.vem.vermont.gov/mitigation, or by contacting the state hazard mitigation officer toll-free at 800-347-0488 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The grant program covers 75 percent of approved project costs with a 25 percent local match from the applicant. The program is funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Wow thanks everyone, going to go out for a bit of 'practice' and I think also contact the dealer re the update. Will keep you posted!
Thanks FOCA, I'll try a quick gear change to second - also coming from an automatic means a bit more adjustment. We hired a new Fiesta diesel over in France last year and this had a bit more shift. Not expecting dramatic acceleration just a to be able to keep up with the flow of traffic! Aside from a remap - kinda makes me nervous re insurance/warranty - is there anything else a little less invasive that may help with standing acceleration? Cheers
Kie120 started following Really Sluggish 1St Gear - Mk3 Focus 1.6 Tdci
Kie120 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Everyone, I've just purchased an 11 plate Focus 1.6 TDCI (14k miles) Really like the car but having now done a full run out in it I'm concerned about just how slow/laggy first gear is. I've come from a 2.0 petrol so wasn't expecting equivilant acceleration but pulling away from junctions/roundabouts feels really dangerous. The car was also bought to teach my other half how to drive, majorly worried that the lag, combined with the response of a learner driver could be a recipe for disaster! I see this is a reasonably common problem but does anyone know a fix - is it worth taking to Ford? Also if this isn't a fault not sure what my legal rights are on returning the car to the dealers? Cheers, Kie

Be Quick, But Don't Hurry presents the team-building management secrets of the greatest coach of the twentieth century, cloaked in the heartwarming tale of the reluctant protege who learned those secrets in spite of himself.
Perhaps the least controversial sports honor in living memory was the selection of John Wooden as "Coach of the Century" by ESPN, honoring his ten NCAA basketball championships in a twelve-year stretch. His UCLA teams won with great centers and with small lineups, with superstars and with team effort, always with quickness, always with class. Wooden was a teacher first and foremost, and his lessons -- taught on the basketball court, but applicable throughout one's life -- are summarized in his famed Pyramid of Success.
Andrew Hill was one of the lucky young men who got to learn from Wooden in his favored classroom -- though that is hardly how Hill would have described it at the time. An all-city high school player in Los Angeles, Hill played -- a little -- on three national champions, from 1970 to 1972. Hill was left embittered by his experience at UCLA; he was upset at how unequally Wooden treated his starting players and his substitutes.
Hill went on to a successful career in television, rising to the presidency of CBS Productions, where he was responsible for the success of such popular series as Touched by an Angel and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Hill's job required him to manage many creative people, with the egos and insecurities that usually go along with such talents. And one day, some twenty-five years after he graduated, he was hit with the realization that everything he knew about getting the best out of people he had learned directly from Coach John Wooden.
With no small trepidation, Hill picked up the phone to call and thank his old coach and unexpected mentor. To his surprise, Wooden greeted him warmly and enthusiastically. A strong friendship, sealed in frequent visits and conversations, ensued, and endures.
Be Quick -- But Don't Hurry! tells the story of that friendship. But it also shares the lessons and secrets that Hill learned from Coach Wooden, which hold the key to managing creatively in the idea-driven economy of the twenty-first century. Among those lessons are:
-The team with the best players almost always wins
-Be quick, but don't hurry: there is never enough time to be sure (and if you are sure, you're probably too late), but you must always keep your balance
-Failing to prepare is preparing to fail
-The team that makes the most mistakes...wins!
Full of sound advice and warm reminiscence, Be Quick -- But Don't Hurry! is the management book of a lifetime.

President of the United States
Bell Curve
You are a secret op for Al Qaeda who has pulled the wool over your entire country's eyes, and now you have ascended to the highest rank there is. You may be able to get away with it for a little while longer, but it's only a matter of time before someone is on to you. People are already suspicious that you appointed a goat to your cabinet.
Your name has become synonymous with scandal and disgrace. You were impeached after being charged with treason. Guess this will let Benedict Arnold—and Richard Nixon—off the hook a bit.
You get mixed reviews and manage to get the job done. You'll make an appearance in the history books, but will appear mainly in list form.
You have not only satisfied your supporters—you have actually won over a bunch of your former critics as well. You've increased employment, cut taxes, and at the same time somehow lowered the national debt. And to think that at one point you just used to host this little show called The Colbert Report.
You are widely considered the greatest U.S. President in history. You made our nation great again, solved all of our economic problems, and forged world peace. You also led the successful attack against the aliens which allowed for our continued survival.

Went into the clinic after having my eye scratched and was just patched up and sent home with no drops or anything, and ended up returning to the clinic the next morning in severe pain and was told by the doctor that "maybe" I should be referred to an eye doctor, which I was, who then referred me to an opthamologist who said I should have been referred to him immediately! Suffice to say I won't be returning to this backwoods clinic again!

All the versions of this article: [English] [français]
Fixed point method allows us to solve non linear equations. We build an iterative method, using a sequence wich converges to a fixed point of g, this fixed point is the exact solution of f(x)=0.
The aim of this method is to solve equations of type:
Let be the solution of (E).
The idea is to bring back to equation of type:
where is a fixed point of .
We introduce a convergent sequence to the fixed point of , which is the solution of equation (E).
If and , then g has a fixed point in [a, b].
If and if exists a constant in ]0,1[ such that
over [a, b] then:
the fixed point is unique
the iteration will converge to the unique fixed point of .
Proof of the existence.
We define over [a,b], like follows:
Clearly: and because . Now we apply the intermediate value theorem to :
Proof of the unicity.
We suppose now that there exists two fixed points with . We apply the mean value theorem : there exists with:
we get
This is a contradiction! Finally
The sequence is well defined because
and consequently provided that . As previously , we apply the mean value theorem, we show the existence of
for all with
since est dans ]0,1[.
Proof of the Corollary.
The first inequality is obvious. To prove the second inequality,we use
this one:
Let :
when m goes to infinity:
We suppose that converges to :
where is the error between and .
If exists two constants and such that:
We say that the sequence converges with order p
with a rate of convergence .
In Particular...
If p=1 and C<1 we say that the sequence converges linearly .
If p=2, convergence is called quadratic convergence.
If p=3, convergence is called cubic convergence.
Obviously several cases are possible, we can build several functions and that also depends on the nature of .
since , the rate of convergence and the convergence is linear(order 1) and since on [a, b].
If , we must introduce a Taylor Developement of around . Don't forget that converges to 0. For example,
a Taylor developement of order 3 gives:
with , thus
The rate of convergence and the convergence is quadratic(order 2). We can generalize this result with the following therorem.
then the order of convergence of the fixed point method is k.
Taylor developement of order k around of gives:

I've made this recipe three times this Fall already and will be making it again tomorrow. Great meal that is even better for leftovers - Followed the recipe exactly the first time, but since then I have added sauted onions, mushrooms, garlic and spinach to the squash mixture. Thank you for this great seasonal recipe!
This was so lovely! I am amazed at how flavorful the sauce was, even before adding the squash. That could, of course, be due to the fact that I at least doubled the garlic!! I don't know that I would change a thing...I guess roasting a sliced onion to add to the sauce might be a nice touch, but definitely not necessary. I was short on thyme (aren't we all LOL!) so I used a mixture of sage and thyme. It was a beautiful early fall dish. My non-adventurous DH didn't love it, but if there are no tomatoes with his pasta he thinks something is wrong...argh. Thanks so much for posting!!
Tried this recipe last night, not great at all. If I was to make again I would change a few things. Sauté onions until soft add garlic cook one minute, add flour and cook one minute then stir in milk. Add cooked squash, stir until warm then add in ricotta. Mix into pasta. Put into prepared casserole dish top with Parmesan and cherry tomatoes cut in half, sprinkle with bread crumbles
