Trial begins for two accused in deadly carjacking
Separate juries will hear evidence during the same trial
Opening statements are scheduled today in the trial of two men accused in a crime spree that ended with the fatal shooting of an Indio man.
Carlos Contreras and Daniel Cervantes, both 34, are charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery in the May 7, 2008, death of 55-year-old Daniel Kuzawa, along with special circumstance allegations of murder in commission of a robbery, kidnapping and carjacking. Both could face the death penalty if convicted.
Separate juries will hear the evidence against the two men during the same trial. Attorneys will deliver one set of opening statements this morning and the other, this afternoon.
Deputy District Attorney Manny Bustamante said the two juries likely will hear most of the same evidence at the same time. He said the trial could last until the beginning of March.
Riverside County District Attorney's Office spokesman John Hall said the defense and prosecution can both request multiple juries, and it's ultimately up to the judge. He said there are many reasons why judges decide to have more than one jury, but generally it can be because there is testimony or evidence pertaining to one defendant and not another.
Kuzawa was found shot in the head and chest on May 7 on the dirt shoulder of Pierce Street south of Airport Boulevard in unincorporated Thermal. Cervantes and Contreras allegedly carjacked him, tied his wrists behind his back with an electrical cable and killed him.
Suspicious charges were made on Kuzawa's credit card that night, and surveillance video at a Coachella gas station, to which an ATM transaction was traced, showed Kuzawa's truck pulling up to the pumps, according to court papers.
From April 28 to May 7, the two men allegedly "embarked on a crime spree ranging on the low end from carjackings, a home-invasion robbery and culminating with a brutal murder," court papers allege.
On May 4, Cervantes allegedly robbed a man and his friend at gunpoint and tied them up in the man's home on Calle Monterey in La Quinta. He allegedly made off with firearms, a wallet, a money clip, gemstones and the homeowner's Porsche. A few days later, Contreras allegedly was found in possession of an amethyst stone belonging to the homeowner, according to court papers.
On May 3, Contreras allegedly shot a man in the jaw and shoulder and stole his pickup truck near Dillon Road and Vista Del Sur in Coachella. The pickup was later found burned in Indio.
On April 28, he allegedly held up a woman while she ate lunch in her car in Palm Desert. He allegedly took her driver's license, money and rings and drove her around in her vehicle before dropping her off in the Thermal area. The vehicle was later found abandoned in Coachella.
Cervantes is also accused of stealing a car in Thermal on May 11.

I've found it's just not possible to write it all down, even though I am doomed to continue to try.

Policy development process
AFRINIC policies are developed through an open Policy Development Process (click here to read the full version). There is no requirement to participate in the process and anybody can propose and discuss policy matters related to resource management in AFRINIC region of service. To participate you must subscribe to the policy working group mailing list.
Minutes of the last public policy meeting can be found in the minutes of public policy meetings page
Every policy document has a unique reference and status. The status of a proposal evolves according to the diffrerent steps it goes through in the policy development process.
Guide to Status of Policy Documents
Under Discussion - On the mailing list and open for discussions.
Withdrawn - The author of the proposal withdraws a policy at any stage.
Awaiting Approval - The PDWG chairs have sent a proposal to the board for ratification.
Approved - Proposal has been approved by AFRINIC board, awaiting implementation.
Implemented - Proposal has been implemented by staff. It is now a full policy.
Obsolete - The policy is rendered obsolete by another implemented policy proposal.
Format of Reference ID for Policy Documents
Every policy proposal has a unique identifier of the general format "AFPUB-YYYY-Category-Number" plus "-draft-nn" where
- YYYY=year in long format eg 2011
- Category refers to what category this policy addresses eg v4=IPv4, v6-IPv6, DNS=all DNS related, GEN=general and all other, ASN=AS Numbers
- Number= Serial number within that year starting from 001 for that category of policy documents.
- nn=Integer that starts with 01 and increases by 1 for every new version of the proposal.
- If/when the proposal becomes implemented, the "draft-nn" shall be dropped from the final version which shall then become the policy.
As an example AFPUB-2011-v4-002 is the second policy within 2011 relating to IPv4 and it if it ends up having 4 versions, it progress thus: AFPUB-2011-v4-002-draft-01 -->AFPUB-2011-v4-002-draft-02 -->AFPUB-2011-v4-002-draft-03 -->AFPUB-2011-v4-002-draft-04 -->AFPUB-2011-v4.
How to
Participate in the Policy Process
- Subscribe to the RPD mailing list and join the discussion. You can find archives of all the previous discussions in the RPD archives (https://lists.AFRINIC.net/pipermail/rpd/)
- Propose policies --- see how in the section below.
- Attend a public policy meeting to discuss proposals in person. See minutes of previous policy discussions here (http://www.AFRINIC.net/ppm_minutes.htm).

Top Definition
When two people in a conversation think of the same joke, or pun, at the same time.
Can be used like the popular usage of "Jinx" after two people say any word at the same time: when both people say, or know that the other is thinking, the same joke, punchline, retort, or pun, they can both say: "Simulpuneity!"

LOCKPORT – The grandmother of a 7-year-old girl brutally beaten in a city home on New Year's Eve said Wednesday that the man charged with attempted murder in the case was under the influence of drugs during the attack.
David L. Alfonso, 28, of Monroe Street, was under the influence of bath salts, said Maxine Townsend, also of Lockport.
"They give you tremendous strength," Townsend said of the substances outlawed last summer in New York State because they were being abused for their mind-altering side effects, similar to cocaine and amphetamines.
Being on drugs was nothing new for Alfonso, according to Townsend, who said, "He was always high – always high."
Townsend's granddaughter, who will turn 8 next week, remains in Women & Children's Hospital in Buffalo. The girl suffered injuries to her throat, jaw, palate and teeth, losing at least one baby tooth in the attack, according to Lockport Police Detective Lt. Scott D. Seekins.
"She is able to get some nourishment through the mouth and swallow some. Children's Hospital said she is doing remarkably well," Seekins said
The girl lived in a house with Alfonso and her 27-year-old mother, who was Alfonso's girlfriend, Seekins said.
Townsend, who lives about a block away from her daughter, said her granddaughter had been staying with her for most of the last two months because the girl's mother had concerns about her relationship with Alfonso, which began in September.
Townsend dropped the girl off at the couple's house Monday to visit with her mother and to get some clothes and the girl's favorite pillow.
Townsend said she told her granddaughter that if she was attacked, she was to run out of her mother's house to a neighbor's home, and then to another if the first couple wasn't home. Monday afternoon, neither of those friends was home, so the girl ran home and was taken in by Townsend's downstairs neighbors.
She said the girl told her that Alfonso was seemingly trying to "dig" into her abdomen through a beauty mark on the girl's side and that Townsend's daughter grabbed a knife to try to defend her daughter. When the granddaughter escaped, Townsend said, "he was punching her in the face with one hand, and he had the other hand down her throat."
Police found Alfonso at an intersection near the house, bleeding and noncompliant, and said they used force to take him into custody. He was treated at Eastern Niagara Hospital here and released to police.
At arraignment Wednesday, Alfonso pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree attempted murder, second-degree strangulation and second-degree assault.
The prosecution had asked for bail to be set at a minimum of $500,000 and City Court Judge William J. Watson doubled the request, remanding Alfonso to Niagara County Jail after Alfonso failed to post $1 million bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Monday.

The 10 Biggest Password Mistakes People Make
Ask computer techs what they make fun of the most after customers leave their shop and they'll say the questionably legal porn and nude selfies they found on your hard drive. But beyond the failed science experiment that is your body, they laugh the hardest at the ridiculously predictable passwords that are supposed to protect your system. Using any of the following terms is like locking your bank vault with masking tape and good intentions ...
(Note: Stats were calculated using samples from this study crossed with a base of 536.6 million English-speaking Internet users.)
#10. "Princess" and "Dragon"
I'm going to hit you with some information that may be shocking: Computer geeks tend to enjoy medieval fantasies. I urge you to take a few minutes to recover from that mind-bending revelation, because what I'm about to tell you next could explode the nipples right the hell off of your body.
DNF-Style/iStock/Getty Images
Looks like you're about to switch to solids sooner than expected, little man.
Combined, about 4.8 million people use "princess" and "dragon" as passwords, which I'm assuming is more than the number of toddler pajamas those things are printed on. For comparison, that's the entire population of Alabama (which, incidentally, is the only known habitat of actual dragons).
#9. "Sex" (and Numerous Variations Thereof)
I understand that sometimes you're prompted to create a password and you just vomit out whatever happens to be on your mind at that second. And I get that sex is on most people's minds pretty much all the time. It's not like ALF or Wham! where you look back years later and drunkenly giggle, "Oh, man, remember sex? I wonder whatever happened to that?" Sex is everywhere, all the time.
Warner Bros. Television
And, thanks to Rule 34, ALF can be there, too.
The problem is that using a sexual term as a password puts you into a pretty large group. Just the first half-dozen variations alone are used by 3.2 million people. Think about it this way: If you stacked that many $1 bills on top of each other, you would have a stack of money $3.2 million high. If you have trouble picturing how big that is, ask an extremely rich stripper with a stacking fetish. She knows.
#8. "Baseball" and "Football"
So you're a sports fan? That's great! All those teams, players, and numbers are an inexhaustible well of material for a password. Seriously, pick your favorite team or player and one of their records, stats, jersey numbers, number of assault charges ... then mash that shit together like a little kid putting potato chips on his sandwich, and there you go. It's secure and easy for you to remember.
Or you could be like the 5.7 million uncreative bastards who just use the generic words "football" and "baseball." That's like loving ice cream and also choosing "ice cream" as your favorite flavor. And yes, there are really that many people who do it. Want to know how big 5.7 million is? If you traveled that far in miles, this is what the Earth and moon would look like:
#7. "LetMeIn"
Three million. That's how many people were too lazy to come up with something that couldn't be guessed by any 8-year-old on their first attempt. Even sticking a "please" on the end would make it at least somewhat hard, just from the act of adding more letters. But nope. "LetMeIn." It's one step up from telling your computer to go fuck itself. And once technology gains sentience, these people will be locked out of their accounts out of sheer spite.
#6. "Monkey"
"Monkey" is by far the most popular animal-related password, with 2.9 million people using it as the gateway guard to their mounds of monkeyless kitten pictures. Maybe it's because monkeys are inherently hilarious and people could use the laugh? It's kind of depressing when you think about it: some poor, desperate office drone for whom thinking of monkeys as often as he can is the only thing keeping him from a mortal escape through a dive-shattered window.

Be patient
As mayor of Moncks Corner, I sympathize with the residents of Daniel Island who are questioning whether or not to leave Berkeley County. And I am very concerned that Berkeley County government has not taken more interest in keeping Daniel Island a part of Berkeley County, other than Daniel Island County Councilman Tim Callanan and the majority of County Council.
Berkeley County does provide a library ideally suited across from the Daniel Island (K-8) School. The library and Berkeley County School Board have an excellent working relationship with hundreds of children going to the library after school hours. And, the present Daniel Island K-8 School represents an investment of over $42 million.
Unfortunately, Berkeley County government does not provide road maintenance on Daniel Island as it does in every other city and town in the county.
Nor is there even a county boat landing within 20 road miles of Daniel Island.
So, who can blame Daniel Island residents who provide 17.2 percent of Berkeley County's real property tax base and represent only 4 percent of the population?
My understanding is that island residents are also upset that our Berkeley County supervisor did not attend the Sept. 12 meeting at Bishop England High School to discuss their options. Nor did he attend the Sept. 30 school board meetings on Daniel Island and Cainhoy School.
I attended both meetings and plan to do everything I can to keep Daniel Island an important part of Berkeley County.
It appears to me that the Berkeley County School Board will do what needs to be done to serve the school needs of residents of Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula. The board wisely included a new high school and a new middle school at the Daniel Island School in last year's $198 million school bond referendum.
Berkeley County must provide Daniel Island with the same services as other residents. In a meeting of the Berkeley County Legislative Delegation on Oct. 2, I learned that there is in the works an additional investment in a public boat landing on Daniel Island. And, there are funds for road improvements in place.
School Superintendent Rodney Thompson indicated that approximately $100 million is available for new schools to serve Daniel Island. The continued influence of the petition may jeopardize this. Please be patient.

Ugly building
"Architects for Clemson center make their case." Thus reads the headline for Robert Behre's article on the proposed Clemson Architecture Center.
Unfortunately, there is no case that can be made for outright ugliness.
One side of the building looks like a melting parking garage, while the other looks like a generic office building in some light-starved country in the far north.
Charleston deserves better than this.

VA health care
I agree that veterans have earned the right for free health care through the VA. They put their lives in danger to protect us (you). Free health insurance is the least we can do for them, especially those who have lost limbs. That is something they will live with forever.

Spotty heroics
Our government proudly boasts of its great capture of the terrorist Abu Anas al-Libi in Tripoli. Obviously this represents a major coup; however, if a raid of this magnitude and danger was possible, what does it say about our president and State Department's inability or total failure to rescue our ambassador and courageous Navy SEALs in Benghazi?
It would appear that our present administration likes to go for the high profile captures rather then protecting our statesmen and military.

Auto overload
There was another wreck on I-526 on Oct. 5. It's a pretty short highway, and it seems to generate a lot of spectacular accidents.
I know this is a naïve question, but why are we proposing to spend $600 million to provide access to I-526 for lots more cars, when it clearly can't handle the load it already has?

Get to work
Rep. Mark Sanford made four points in his op-ed column Oct. 1. Taking them one at a time:
1) If there is a constitutional problem with Obamacare, let the courts decide. Interpreting the law is their job, not yours.
2) I agree that those in politics should be treated the same as me. I'll believe you believe it when you introduce some bills to bring your retirement and health care plans — among your other perks — in line with mine.
If Obamacare causes costs to rise, I'll be happy to pay the increase, because the only option is to force as many as 50 million uninsured people back to using emergency rooms as their primary care doctors.
3) Since Congress forces hospitals to accept patients even if they cannot pay for their care, the hospitals have no choice but to pass those costs on to me, the paying (insured) patient. Wouldn't it make more sense to support a law that forces people to pay their own bills rather than one that forces me to pay for them? And through the back door, yet.
4) Unintended consequences will happen with any new law, especially a major one like Obamacare. Your job, congressman, is to tweak the laws to make them better; it is not to shut down government to get your way.
Congress passed Obamacare, the president signed it into law, the U.S Supreme Court validated it, and we the people voted for it.
You lost, congressman. Get over it. And start governing our country. Please.

Be a mentor
Recently I saw some of Charleston's finest police officers at work, only instead of chasing criminals, they were helping build character and instill dreams as mentors to students at one of our middle schools.
It was rather daunting to walk into the media center and see six officers in their uniforms. However, after seeing how their mentees opened up to them, it became obvious that they may be the perfect fit to teach the importance of goal-setting, character and leadership development, career exploration and academic success to middle school students who don't get these life lessons in everyday math and science curriculums.
Middle school is a critical time for children. Students are becoming more aware of their place in society.
And according to Dr. Robert Balfanz, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University who studied this area for 15 years, "In high-poverty schools, if a sixth-grade child attends less than 80 percent of the time, receives an unsatisfactory behavior grade in a core course, or fails math or English, there is a 75 percent chance that they will later drop out of high school" ("Middle School Moment").
Trident United Way president and CEO Chris Kerrigan said that a cross section of the community — industry, nonprofits, school districts, business and government — must invest in the future success of young children.
Our police officers are doing just that.
I cannot thank the Charleston Police Department enough for all of the work they do in our community.
On behalf of Be a Mentor, I would like to thank all of our Project Shine mentors, volunteers, business partners and school personnel.

2012 Year in Review
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
As calendar year 2012 came to a close, it's hard to select only a few program highlights to share because there were so many. To be brief, we bring you the Top 5.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Mathematical Modeling and Multiobjective Optimization in Development of Low-Emission Industrial Boilers
Saario, Ari
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-05-16
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;733

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based mathematical model is applied to study emission formation in an industrial-scale bubbling fluidized bed boiler burning a fuel mixture consisting mainly of biomass. A modification of the standard k-epsilon model is used to model turbulence, global mechanisms are used to model chemical reactions, the eddy-dissipation combustion model and the eddy-dissipation concept are used to model turbulence-chemistry interaction, and the finite-volume method (discrete ordinates) together with the weighted-sum-of-grey-gases model are used to model radiative heat transfer. A simplified approach is used to take into account the bubbling bed in the overall CFD model. Experimental data available on the temperature and the concentrations of NO and NH3 are presented to validate the predictions to a certain extent. It is emphasized that the CFD-based study of a real-world industrial boiler contains significant uncertainties and that the results must be evaluated with great care. The error caused by the computational grid may easily dominate the errors caused by simplified models used in industrial-scale boiler modeling. It is shown that over two million computational cells may be required for the grid-independent solution for only a single jet. On the other hand, local grid refinement is shown to be a good option for improving the predictions without an excessive increase in the number of computational cells. The predictions are shown to be strongly dependent on the chosen ammonia chemistry mechanism. Mechanisms suitable for modeling ammonia injection, i.e. the selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) process, are identified, and it is shown that the correct emission formation trends can be predicted as a function of the SNCR process load. Due to the different conditions prevailing in the lower and upper part of the boiler, a combination of more than one mechanism may be a good approach in modeling the whole boiler. After the CFD-based model has been validated to a certain extent, it is used for optimization. There are nine design variables (nine distinct NH3 injections in the SNCR process) and two conflicting objective functions (minimize NO and NH3 emission in flue gas). The multiobjective optimization problem is solved using the reference-point method involving an achievement scalarizing function. An interactive approach is used to incorporate the preferences of decision makers and to generate Pareto optimal solutions. Two inherently different optimization algorithms, viz. a genetic algorithm and Powell's conjugate-direction method, are applied in the solution of the resulting optimization problem. The constraints are incorporated using a penalty function. With respect to the current operating point, approximately 12% decrease in the NO emission is obtained, while maintaining the NH3 emission at an acceptable level. It is shown that the optimization connected with CFD is a promising and scientific approach for combustion optimization. The strengths and weaknesses of the proposed approach and of the interactive multiobjective optimization method used are discussed from the point of view of the complex real-world optimization problem. Also, the performance of the two optimization algorithms is evaluated. Some techniques related to the reduction of overall computational cost are applied in the present study, and some other possible techniques are reviewed.

INSROP Overview
INSROP (International Northern Sea Route Programme) was a six-year (June 1993 March 1999) international research programme designed to create an extensive knowledge base about the ice-infested shipping lanes running along the coast of the Russian Arctic from Novaya Zemlya in the west to the Bering Strait in the east. This route was previously named the Northeast Passage, but is now more often known under its Russian name - the Northern Sea Route (NSR).
The NSR represents an up to 40% saving of distance from Northern Europe to Northeast Asia and the north-west coast of North America compared to southerly sea routes via Suez or Panama. Moreover, the Russian Arctic holds enormous reserves of oil, gas and other natural resources which may best be exported by sea.
As we enter the 21st century, technological, political and even climatic developments are again making the NSR an interesting possibility. Russia officially opened the NSR for foreign ships in 1991, and better and less costly ice-breaking technology is being developed. And although the NSR is impeded by ice and Russian political instability, the Suez and Panama Canals have their own inherent problems of draft limitations, which may be avoided on the NSR. Furthermore, political instability in the Middle East, the piracy problem in SE Asia, and a new political regime for the Panama Canal may also act to benefit the NSR. There are also indications that global warming may gradually improve the ice conditions of the NSR.
In spite of this, the Northern Sea Route has so far not been utilised commercially to a significant degree by non-Russian vessels.
Acknowledging the need to establish an extensive NSR knowledge base, the multidisciplinary INSROP was created to investigate all aspects of potential, increased, international use of the NSR. The programme, which has primarily been a joint Norwegian-Japanese-Russian venture, enlisted more than 450 scholars in 14 countries.
In all, 167 technical reports on a very broad spectre of subjects have been published, as well as several other end products (INSROPs Integration Book, INSROPs Simulation Study, the INSROP GIS Database and the NSR Environmental Atlas) which have integrated the INSROP results in different ways. All products have been made available to the public. The Project has also resulted in several books that have been published by international, academic publishers. Shortly after the completion of the programme, the Northern Sea Route User Conference was organized by the main INSROP partners in Oslo, Norway, 18-20 November 1999, in order to disseminate INSROP results to the shipping industry and other potential NSR users and stake-holders.
The most obvious obstacles to commercially viable shipping in the NSR are the harsh natural conditions, including ice most of the year. Even though modern technology can overcome such practical difficulties, the investments needed to build a fleet of adequate ice-classified cargo vessels are staggering. An equally big problem, is for Russia to muster the political and economic strength needed to uphold a stable, well-functioning infrastructure along the NSR, the most crucial task being to maintain the capacity of the Russian ice-breaker fleet.
The main conclusion of INSROPs research is that a substantial increase in international commercial shipping is feasible in economic, technological and environmental terms. The largest and most obvious cargo potential is found in the huge oil and gas reserves in the Russian Arctic both onshore and offshore where marine export towards western markets is likely to start up early in the new Century. As for transit traffic, INSROPs survey of the main cargo-generating regions at the western and eastern ends of the NSR (NW Europe, NE Asia and the North American West Coast) identified a stable transit cargo potential, most notably for dry bulk. Calculations comparing the NSR with Suez have identified several scenarios in which the NSR will be the most profitable alternative, using already existing suitable vessels and provided that Russia adopts a reasonable tariff policy for the route. When it comes to the building of new vessels, built especially for NSR transits, INSROP was not able to identify any realistic scenarios under current market, technological and climatic conditions where it would be more profitable to invest in the building of such vessels than in the building of "ordinary" vessels to be used through Suez. The technology needed for building operationally and environmentally safe ice breaking cargo vessels is clearly within reach, but a development towards less costly technology and larger ship types is required. Ecologically vulnerable areas, as well as areas of special importance to local indigenous peoples, have been identified and mapped, and may largely be avoided. The main problems which will need to be solved before the NSRs potential can be fully utilized, are on the political level. The Russian ice-breaker fleet is slowly, but steadily, deteriorating, and continuing economic and political turmoil in Russia makes it difficult to raise the necessary investments towards upgrading and maintaining an adequate infrastructure for the NSR. The economic and political problems have so far also prevented Russia from establishing a stable, competitive tariff regime.

I can't navigate the site either. Where are the archived videos? Where do you click to watch live or on-demand?
IN- are you listening??
I have already paid for a season pass but they still will not allow me to access the live coverage even after I've logged in. I sent an email but I'm still waiting for instructions.
Good luck everyone.
Have you tried logging out and in again?
This has happened to me before and that has solved the issue.
Thanks for the advice. I re-registered and it worked. The feed is problematic but at least I'm in.
The skater's bios are still a mess for any skaters that aren't on the"featured list".
Results are not linked up properly either-they are best reached from the old version of the site.
The link to the Salt Lake Senior B results is on the IN front page, but not accessible from the Schedule page link for the event. Only the current videos from the event are there.
There is smething very wrong with ice network. They make it so hard for anyone to watch!! I paid for a season pass last uear and it was only after i paid that i was told that i couldnt watch 90% of the events because i was geoblocked!!! Rediculous
IceNetwork. Well intended but a D- on execution.
Yes - arguably the site could have used some freshening up. The "images" and look at first blush is more dynamic. But, honestly, I find it harder to navigate and it sure seems like the content is either diminished or simply less accessible. I mean, the MAJORITY of skaters no longer have profiles which can be searched. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
And to have SO MANY technical issues with video during the first legit event where people are going to want to tune in?
Amateur hour kind of mistakes.
Yeah, technology glitches happen. The Facebook IPO did NOT go smoothly. But there were huge penalties that followed those snafus.
This 'new launch' at the precise time that they should be trying to attract new subscribers is SO EMBARRASSING. I truly wonder if they think they are not at risk of losing subscribers because after all, they have a MONOPOLY on some events.
Come ON! ICENETWORK. It's 2013. It's an OLYMPIC SEASON!! Get your act together.
I did check the geoblocking list before I paid for mine last year and in the end gave in to the overwhelming temptation of US Nationals. I figured that I could watch the on-demand stuff. Nope. Not even that. Which I don't understand. Sure, geoblock the live stuff. But the on-demand stuff? REALLY? I went to the videos of the US Classic nearly FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE EVENT and I couldn't watch! What is the point of that?!
I accessed the site yesterday without any problem. I tried today and it is telling me to renew my subscription. I did last month! Anyone else having this issue? I wish I could trust that when I log in, I can access what I am paying for.
thomb, Welcome to Golden Skate! Post long & often. I feel your frustration. I had that problem during the short dance. I had to log out, clear my Internet cache, and log in again.

I Know How Lousy the Muggles Feel
ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON last July found me in an Orlando ballroom that was groaning with buffet tables and more than 200 Harry Potter fans. I was there for Ascendio, that year the second-biggest Harry Potter convention in America, where I was to give one of the keynote speeches after lunch. I shivered and piled my plate with cold sesame chicken, then retreated to my seat on the stage to eat and compose my thoughts. The woman next to me, a professor of fan-fiction studies who had flown in from Winnipeg, asked what I planned to talk about. I only smiled. I had no idea what I was going to say. Why? Because I hadn't read a word of Harry Potter.
There's no excuse. I like childish things. I work in children's publishing. But Harry, with his silly glasses and his reliance on magical tropes, has always felt just beyond my willing reach. The previous January, when I had accepted the invitation, July seemed a lifetime away. I imagined reversing course, reading the whole series, maybe even becoming a late-to-the-party authority. Months passed and I resolved to read just the first book. The weather warmed. I promised myself that I would see the movie. But it turned out to be unavailable on Netflix instant.
The day before I flew down, I started to read up on Harry's Wikipedia page, but was called into a meeting and didn't finish it. I meant to buy the book from Pottermore for my iPad, but couldn't handle the membership hoops. I found a few pages online and downloaded them. Then I fell asleep on the plane.
I landed at Orlando International airport and hopped in a cab driven by a woman who said she loved Harry, as did her 12-year-old daughter and her husband. Once we arrived at the world of Universal, I discovered that the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel looked strikingly like Portofino, Italy, with its Necco-wafer-colored Italian-ish buildings jammed together in front of a piazza with hollowed out Vespa scooters bolted to the ground. It was all facing an artificial body of water. A false version of Italy in sweltering Orlando wasn't odd. The weird part was the swarms of adults and children walking around in long black robes. I later came to realize these were Gryffindor robes or Ravenclaw outfits. I just hoped they were wearing shorts underneath.
I was greeted at reception by Stina, the Special Guests Coordinator. She smiled warmly as she slung several badges of different colors around my neck and showed me the various areas where the Fannish (this, I learned, was what the scholarly fans called themselves—a distinction from mere fans) congregated between lectures and panels. I began to ask questions. I learned that most of these folks also attend LeakyCon, that year the country's biggest Harry Potter conference. I had more questions. I confess one of them was "What is that?" in response to the suggestion that I could go to the Villa Piazza and play Quidditch.
"Have you actually read Harry Potter?" Stina asked, her brow suddenly darkening."Of course," I said, and in that one horrible moment, she became the only person I would have to explicitly lie to. (Stina Brainard, I am very sorry.)
We parted and I checked into my room. I'd imagined making some notes and got obsessed with adjusting the air conditioning instead, and then went down to the convention floor. There was a discussion on the Cruciatus Curse and the Psychology of Pain in the Verona Room; the Silver Doe and Beyond: Severus, Lily, an Unforgivable Name and a Lifetime of Love in the Tuscan room. I turned my name badge backward and sat in the back row of the Michelangelo room, as baffled by the heated discussions as I would have been at a molecular geometry convention.
'A false version of Italy in sweltering Orlando wasn't odd. The weird part was adults and children walking around in long black robes.'
Within a few hours, though, characters and costumes became recognizable. I began to feel sympathetic to the people at Ascendio, aged 13 to 83, walking around this ersatz Portofino, munching on sandwiches, wearing robes and clutching wands. I felt embarrassed to be dressed in khakis and a button down. Everyone ignored me.
On the stage, our plates were taken away and the room quieted. Robes were tucked under tables. Enormous hats were shifted on heads. I listened to the other speakers talk about Harry and the Christian Right, the Harry Potter Alliance, the Future of Fandom. There were jokes about fan fiction that I didn't get. And then the fan-fiction professor got up and began to make direct references to "The Man" who had commodified Potter. But, she continued, thanks to the Internet all those in Fandom were now free of this "Man" who represented big publishing.
Aha! I knew when I was being insulted! I could work with that. I felt Harry smile down on me. Because I work inbig publishing and am "The Man." I wouldn't have to focus on Dumbledore or anything related to Muggle Studies, Mudbloods or how Ron really feels about Hermione. And then the professor made some more jokes I didn't get, there was polite clapping and I was introduced.
A certain wild and beautiful freedom comes when you get up in front of a room full of strangers dressed in robes, all eating Chinese food, in a Venetian style ballroom in Orlando, and you have no notes and no clear idea of what to say.
While I am normally a stilted public speaker, there in Florida, the jokes came easy. I got up and made devil horns over my head and spoke in the voice of "The Man." I discussed how I believe young Harry Potter fans are likely to save publishing. They don't know a world without Harry Potter and have faith that anything we publish just might become as big as Harry. I said that I was the least qualified person in the room to talk about the books and that got a laugh. I got back to my chair without boos, though I got some shifty looks from a man who was too old to be dressed up as Draco.
That evening, I loitered near the To The Manor Ball and grabbed a Potter-theme drink, the Unicorn Blood. But I didn't have a costume and it was dark in there. Back in my room, I decided to reschedule my flight, skipped Sunday brunch and got home a few hours early. I know I'll read Harry someday. After I do, I plan to attend LeakyCon.

One day in 1978, a friend asked drummer Marc Bell if he would be interested in leaving the band he was in to join another.
That friend was Dee Dee Ramone, whose band, The Ramones, supplied hits like "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Blitzkrieg Bop."
That day, Bell became Marky Ramone.

Marky Ramone, one of the few surviving members of punk legends The Ramones, will play with his band, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, at Aldo's Lounge in?Altoona as part of an East Coast tour.
Now, as one of the only surviving members of the band, he will bring a 30-song Ramones set and several originals when his band, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, plays at 8 p.m. Sunday at Aldo's Lounge in Altoona as part of an East Coast tour.
We caught up with Marky Ramone to ask what it's like to bring classic Ramones songs to both longtime fans and a whole new audience.
* * *

If you go
What: Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg with opening acts Railroad City Murder Machine, X's for Eyes and The Whatleys
When: 8 p.m. Sunday
Where: Aldo's Lounge, 623 N. Fourth Ave., Juniata
Details: $20 in advance, $24 at the door. Available at Aldo's, open every day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ages 21 and over only.
For more information, call 943-9907
What went through your head that day Dee Dee Ramone asked you to join the band? You had already been in several established bands, but do you ever muse about how different your life would have been if that hadn't happened?
"I have no idea, but it was an unbelievable opportunity. I knew them before I joined the group, and I stayed with them for 15 years, 1,700 shows and 10 studio albums. It was just amazing, getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, winning a Grammy and best of all being on "The Simpsons" (laughs). That was great. To this day, fans all over the world still love The Ramones."
* * *
What has helped you to continue playing Ramones music with Marky Ramones' Blitzkrieg?
"It's the songs, they're too good not to be played. We did start punk rock. It really relates to youth, the lyrical content and the energy that we have on stage. So, it just continues to this day. I see it, and I'm very happy to continue keeping the legacy alive."
* * *
The band has released a few original songs also. What is the writing process like for the band, and what things are inspiring to you in modern times?
"Things never change, it's still the same. A lot of people have the same frustrations and anxieties. They have to figure out what they're going to do for their jobs. War is still going on. Technology changes, but not people. So my inspiration today is basically the same thing that's been going on since we started out. The only difference is people have cell phones now (laughs). ... I'm not into making albums now, just good singles. Then when I have 15 or 16 songs, I'll make a compilation. I don't want to have just album filler, I want to make sure all of the songs are good."
* * *
Who do you find coming out to Blitzkrieg shows? Do you think the band is helping cultivate a new, young generation of Ramones and punk rock [fans]?
"[We see] Ramones fans, the younger fans, older fans. It's funny, parents bring their kids, and both like the Ramones. It's really great to see that it closes the generation gap."
* * *
Tell me why you signed on Michale Graves [formerly of The Misfits] as the frontman for Marky Ramones' Blitzkrieg. What do you think longtime Ramones fans enjoy about seeing him perform the material?
"He has experience, and he's a really good singer. That's what matters to me, and he does it his own way. He doesn't copy Joey Ramone. I like the way he delivers the song, and he has a good stage presence. I'm very happy he's able to do that."
* * *
Do you think the band exudes the same live energy that The Ramones became known for?
"Definitely. We do it differently, but we stick to the formula. I don't think doing anything different would be a good idea, because the fans want to hear basically what was on the album in the live stuff. There is no reason to do anything differently."
* * *
Over the course of its history, the Ramones had some controversy that surrounded the band. Does Marky Ramones' Blitzkrieg get along?
"We get along so well, and that's really important. The Ramones were like a family. We had our differences at times, but it was 90 percent good and 10 percent what a family would go through."
* * *
What's in the future for the band? Will you continue to tour at such a grueling pace?
"We just did an Asian tour, we did a whole thing in Spain, Italy, Germany, and now we're going to do a few shows on the East Coast. You get used to it. It's something I always wanted to do. I want to see the world, and I really enjoy it. It's something I always wanted to do when I was a kid, and it's better than doing nothing."

Mental health system lacking
November 19, 2013
Few weeks go by without some new proposal for additional restrictions on gun ownership by Americans. A constant debate rages — and that is probably the right word — over the issue....
Ok show me how you would do it !
1) A person or relative has to recognize there is a problem . 2) No one can force someone to get treatment 3) Medical info is a Dr, patient privialage,
4)Congress has reduced funding drastically in this area ,so whose paying for it and where do they go to get treatment ?

Men's Hoops Welcomes Ohio for Red Out Wednesday
MUNCIE, Ind. -- It will be a "Red Out" Wednesday night at Worthen Arena when Ball State hosts Ohio for a 7 p.m. tipoff in Mid-American Conference play.
Fans are encouraged to wear red, and the team will also be wearing its red uniforms.
Ball State (8-12, 2-6 MAC) is coming off a 70-59 setback Saturday at Bowling Green, while Ohio (15-6, 6-1 MAC) had a seven-game winning streak snapped Saturday with an 86-72 loss at Akron.

Lineup Consistency
• Ball State has used only two starting lineups the entire season.
• Guards Jesse Berry and Jauwan Scaife, forwards Chris Bond and Majok Majok, and center Zach Fields have composed the starting lineup for 17 of the 20 games.
• Forward Matt Kamieniecki has taken Fields' place in the other three.
Cleaning Up on the Glass

Why did Bandai/whoever change the name so many times? I always just want to refer to it as Furawatchi. And also, its coloring has changed as well. I know it's purple now, but I'm fairly certain it was pink and/or orange. Does anyone know what the deal is? Same with Zuccitchi/Zukitchi.

It was green at one point... in the v3 Leafitchi was definitely green. I refer to her as Violetchi.
Posted 09 August 2012 - 06:30 AM ( #3 )
I usually call her Flowertchi now because that is what she is called in the anime, and I watch the anime so much I ended up calling her Flowertchi instead of Violetchi.
Posted 09 August 2012 - 09:47 AM ( #4 )
I call her Furawatchi (courtesy of the iD L, haha), and you're right, at one point she was changed into Leaftchi and coloured green. Leaftchi looks slightly different to me; her eyes are more like lines on her pixelated version. There's some more info about Violetchi's names on THIS page.
As for Zukitchi/Zuccitchi, they're just different spellings of the same name of the same character.

IBC's "Targeting Metabolic Disorders" meeting, held late last month in Boston, was particularly timely given the new regulatory hurdles and higher standards for efficacy required for the next generation of metabolic drug products. Most of the presenters were confident that their research efforts would ultimately lead to the development of better metabolic therapeutics.
Representing Metabolex, Maria Wilson, Ph.D., senior scientist, and Charles McWherter, Ph.D., senior vp of research and preclinical development, discussed the company's ongoing research. Dr. Wilson specifically reviewed her work with the GPR119 agonist MBX-2982, a drug candidate in Phase I development.
GPR119, a Gas-coupled GPCR, is expressed in b-cells in the pancreatic islets and endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract. Activation of GPR119 can improve glycemia by two mechanisms. In the b-cells, activation of the receptor signals the increased release of insulin in response to glucose. Activation of the receptor in the gastrointestinal endocrine cells increases levels of the incretin hormone GLP1.
"Rodent models have shown that acute treatment with MBX-2982 results in enhanced clearance of a glucose load. In fat-fed, female ZDF rats, a diabetic animal model, MBX-2982 delayed the onset of disease compared to untreated rat controls, which showed hyperglycemic symptoms within seven days," Dr. Wilson said.
Pharmacokinetic studies to date indicate that a single dose of MBX-2982 results in lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion and releasing incretin hormones such as GLP-1, potentially preserving beta cell health in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, she added.
The firm has two other drug candidates in clinical development. MBX-102, its lead candidate for type 2 diabetes, currently in Phase II trials, is being developed in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson. The drug acts as an insulin sensitizer but without the side effects of other marketed drugs in this class such as weight gain and edema, according to Dr. McWherter.
MBX-8025 is a therapeutic agent that just completed a Phase II proof-of-concept trial for treating mixed dyslipidemia. Results from this trial indicated that MBX-8025 addresses all the key defects associated with the atherogenic mixed dyslipidemia that commonly afflicts millions of diabetics and is thought to be linked to the cardiovascular consequences of the disease, Dr. McWherter stated. Its benefits included the lowering of triglycercides and LDL cholesterol, the raising of HDL cholesterol, and the reduction of the atherogenic small dense LDL particles and C-reactive protein.
"Dyslipidemia in diabetics is one of the most important unserved needs because the diabetic's ultimate demise is most often due to cardiovascular events," Dr. McWherter added. He described the mechanism of MBX-8025 as "targeting underlying defects in lipid handling, which are also thought to be associated with acquiring insulin resistance."

Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy has been amply demonstrated to reduce bone complications of myeloma. Bisphosphonate (BP) therapy is therefore an important component of supportive care for myeloma patients with boney disease. Adverse events associated with BP are usually mild and consist of fever, renal function impairment, myalgias, and hypocalcemia. A more serious potential side effect of bisphosphonate therapy that was first identified in 20031 is osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a debilitating problem that can be associated with significant morbidity.
The following guidelines for the use of bisphosphonate therapy in myeloma are based upon IMWG and Mayo Clinic guidelines2,3 and are intended to provide safe criteria for bisphosphonate use to minimize risk and maximize benefit:
The following table from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Position Paper on Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (approved September 25, 2006) presents their recommendations for staging and treatment strategies:
BRON† Staging
Treatment Strategies‡
At risk category No apparent exposed/necrotic bone in patients who have been treated with either oral or IV bisphosphonates
• No treatment indicated
• Patient education
Stage 1 Exposed/necrotic bone in patients who are asymptomatic and have no evidence of infection
• Antibacterial mouth rinse
• Clinical follow-up on a quarterly basis
• Patient education and review of indications for continued bisphosphonate therapy
Stage 2 Exposed/necrotic bone associated with infection as evidenced by pain and erythema in the region of the exposed bone with or without purulent drainage
• Symptomatic treatment with broad-spectrum oral antibiotics, e.g. penicillin, cephalexin, clindamycin, or 1st generation fluoroquinolone
• Oral antibacterial mouth rinse
• Pain control
• Only superficial debridements to relieve soft tissue irritation
Stage 3 Exposed/necrotic bone in patients with pain, infection, and one or more of the following: pathologic fracture, extra-oral fistula, or osteolysis extending to the inferior border
• Antibiotic therapy and pain control
• Surgical debridement/resection for longer term palliation of infection and pain

This thread's gotten ridiculous. When we choose to hate a player, he has no chance. He'll have to perform at an MVP level to shift the hate to someone else.
What the mods here either refuse to acknowledge or don't realize is these attitudes always grow from the same few doom and gloom depression cases. And we all know who they are. We're concerned about filtering curse words but we allow obvious trolling and non-stop doomspeak stupidity? I'm less annoyed by a few four letter words than I am the trolls saying every single thing we ever do sucks in every possible way.
This forum could be raised quite a few notches with the removal of a certain couple people. Let them go fester with the other idiots on RWC.
There's a number of us wjo have been around for a lot of years here and have a lot of different opinions on a lot of our guys but just cause some of the opinions are negative doesn't mean we're trolls. It simply means we don't like that player. If you make a strong case than by all means say your piece. It's when you come in and say "Cleary's lazy and he sucks" and that's all you add to a conversation, thats trolling. When you state that he doesn't belong in the top 6 and give reasons like he doesn't have the hockey sense of legs to keep up with Dats, hes been taking stupid untimely penalties and gives the puck away excessively and most of his shots are bread basket and from the side boards, then with those comments i actually raise an argument within the topic.
