Michael Egan says he grew up a "happy-go-lucky" kid in Nebraska. But by the time he left Hollywood in his late teens after moving there to work as a child actor and model, he was a different person.
"It changed me completely," he tells PEOPLE, adding that he "hated the world. [I] hated everything."
Egan, now 31, is at the center of a lawsuit filed Wednesday accusing X-Men director Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him as a teenager.
Speaking to PEOPLE after a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, Egan was soft-spoken but passionate about coming forward. He said that he had filed the lawsuit, in which he accuses the prominent director of forcing him into sex during parties in the late 1990s, after realizing "there's no justice for anything that ever happened to me."
Singer's attorney, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the accusations. "The claims made today about Bryan Singer are completely fabricated," he said in a statement after the press conference. We look forward to our bringing a claim for malicious prosecution against Mr. Egan and his attorney after we prevail."
As detailed in his lawsuit, Egan says the alleged abuse included being drugged and lured into a sex ring with promises of auditions for acting, modeling and commercial jobs. He says he reported the molestation to the authorities when he was 17 but the accusations were not investigated. (Los Angeles Police Commander Andrew Smith said the department is looking into whether a report was made.)
Now living in Las Vegas and engaged to "an incredible fiancée, Egan says he turned to alcohol to cope with his pain until getting sober several years ago.
"I would have the feelings and flashbacks all the time, and the sadness and depression," he says. "What I did was I drank, and drank, and drank, and eventually I got to a spot two years ago where I had suicidal thoughts."
Then "I stopped the drinking and I thought, 'I need to pull myself back together here. I cannot allow these people to affect me anymore. I've got to get help for this.'" He credits AA for his sobriety.
The press junket for X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled for May 2-4. Fox has not announced whether Singer will still attend as previously planned.
Egan's attorney, Jeff Herman, denies that the timing of the lawsuit is related to the release of the film, which is due to hit theaters on May 23.
Rather, the lawsuit was filed in Hawaii – where Egan alleges some of the crimes took place – because the state has extended the statute of limitations on such charges, a window which Herman says expires on April 24.

Dithering in Analogue-to-Digital Conversion
Aumala, Olli
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2001-05-07
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication 325
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Electrical Engineering
Department: Institute of Measurement and Information Technology
This study analyses properties of the analogue-to-digital converter, which is very central in modern measurement equipment. The work is mainly theoretical, and the theoretical models were verified partly with experimental study, partly with a virtual instrument developed for this purpose. Fundamental properties of analogue-to-digital conversion are presented as background of the study. Limitations coming from the time-discrete nature of sampling and from the amplitude-discrete nature of quantisation are introduced. The basic idea of dithering is presented. The condition for systematic correctness is developed. The random uncertainties of some practically interesting dithering schemes are developed. It is presented that dithering can be combined with suppression of network interference. Also the possibility to use unavoidable thermal noise of the measurand as dither signal is presented. A short analysis on information transfer of the dithered conversion is presented. It is shown that dithering gives more accuracy, but this reduces the bandwidth of the conversion. Indeed, dithering may be characterised as changing bandwidth against resolution. Two practical applications are briefly discussed. The first one shows how broad-range dithering can improve even the integral nonlinearity of the ADC. The second application is equipment for multichannel temperature measurement with very good resolution and speed.

In order of predicated finish
NUIC East
Aquin Bulldogs
Coach: Rich Chang
Last year: 26-3, first in the NUIC East, sectional finalist
Key returnees: Aiden Chang, Jr. (guard), Andrew Martin, Sr. (guard), Anthony Townsend, Sr. (guard)
Strengths: The Bulldogs bring back first team all-conference, IBCA All-State Special Mention and AP All-State Honorable Mention guard Aiden Chang, along with all-conference second teamers Andrew Martin and Anthony Townsend.
Weaknesses: Depth will be key, especially when it comes to the bench. Aquin lost 7 seniors from last year and has just 3 this year.
Outlook: Aquin is favored to win its third straight conference crown and is currently on a 23-game conference winning streak. The Bulldogs win-streak may end this year with a more crowded conference race expected, but should be at the top of the standings by the end of the regular season.
Polo Marcos
Coach: Matt Messer
Last year: 21-8, second in the NUIC East
Key returnees: AJ Dollmeyer, Sr. (center), Brian Cavanaugh, Sr. (guard/forward), Travis Van Drew, Sr. (guard), Justin Wright, Sr. (guard), Zach Quaco, Sr. (guard/forward), Sawyer Frano, Sr. (guard), Ivan Grogan, Sr. (forward), Max Simmons, Jr. (forward), Brad Cavanaugh, Soph. (guard)
Strengths: More depth and diversity this year. The Marcos should be more balanced offensively with improved team speed.
Weaknesses: Consistent defense will be emphasized.
Outlook: Polo will likely be Aquin's toughest threat. The Marcos have the size, improved speed, experience (seven seniors) and depth to not only make a run at conference, but a deeper postseason run as well.
Forreston Cardinals
Coach: Jonathan Schneiderman
Last year: 15-13, fourth in the NUIC East
Key returnees: Robert DeVries, Jr. (guard), Kaleb Reining, Jr. (guard), Wyatt Kerchner, Jr. (guard), Jacob Cunningham, Jr. (forward), Aaron Shelton, Jr. (guard), Ethan Groom, Jr. (guard), Markus Edler, Jr. (forward), Andrew Beasley, Sr. (guard), Ben Stake, Sr. (forward)
Outlook: After starting last year 4-11, the Cardinals finished with a respectable 15-13 record and was fourth in the East. This season's more experienced group could creep into the top three in the East and may have a say when it comes to the top spot.
Dakota Indians
Coach: Mike Bartelt
Last year: 21-7, third in the NUIC East
Key returnees: Brett Benning, Sr. (guard)
Strengths: Indians return one of the best players in the area in Benning.
Weaknesses: There are no other returning players on the roster besides Benning, so depth will be a concern. Team will be inexperienced with just two seniors and four juniors.
Outlook: Dakota will struggle at times without key veteran players in the Bartelt era, but Benning will be difficult to stop for most teams. Should the younger players develop, look for the Indians to finish within the top three.
Pecatonica Indians
Coach: Butch Rosecke
Last year: 13-13, fourth in the NUIC East
Key returnees: Eli Karvelis, Sr. (guard), Andrew Squires, Jr. (forward), Jordan Dahl, Sr. (forward), Jeremy Degner, Sr. (forward), Robbie Blassingham, Sr. (guard), Adam Bardell, Sr. (guard), Russell Scibona, Sr. (forward), Anthoy Schlickman, Jr. (forward), Brad North, Jr. (forward)
Strengths: Returning scorers should bring continuity to the offense. Four seniors return.
Weaknesses: The Indians have very little room for error in a tough East division.
Outlook: Pecatonica has the look of a conference darkhorse with valued returning experience and depth. In Rosecke's second season, the team should be more acclimated to the coach's system.
Durand Bulldogs
Coach: Randy Hunt
Last year: 10-17, last in the NUIC East
Key returnees: Rhyse Evenson, Sr. (guard), Ethan Chandler, Jr. (center), Colton Asche, Jr. (center), Collin Palmer, Sr. (guard), James Bryant, Jr. (guard)
Strengths: Height. The team will feature eight players above 6-feet tall. The team is also athletic.
Weaknesses: The Bulldogs struggled to shoot in the post, which will be an area Durand will look to improve on.
Outlook: Durand will aim for the middle of the pack of the East, but may fall short of that goal in a crowded division.
Milledgeville Missiles
Coach: Brian Rahn
Last year: 8-18, eighth in the NUIC East
Key returnees: Jordan Harris, Jr. (guard), Caleb Skoog, Sr. (forward), Kameron DawTyne, Sr. (forward), Zach Herin, Sr. (forward), Daniel Walker, Sr. (forward), Blake Kappas, Jr. (guard), Luke Ebersole, Jr. (forward)
Strengths: Experience, team speed, scoring ability.
Weaknesses: Rebounding may be an issue, along with turnovers.
Outlook: The Missiles will look to continue its improvement from a season ago, but will at best be at bottom half of the East.
South Beloit Sobos
Coach: Richard Borre
Last year: 11-16, sixth in conference
Key returnees: Sebastian Taylor, Jr. (guard), Brett Ott, Jr. (guard), Chad Olson, Jr. (forward), Paul Tackeberry, Sr. (guard), Adam Vogt, Jr. (guard), Tommy Honaker, Sr. (guard)
Strengths: More balanced offensively,.
Weaknesses: The team will have to rely on its youth in 2013. Defense will be a point of emphasis and continued improvement.
Outlook: A top-half finish is the goal for South Beloit, but a bottom-half ending in a competitive East is more likely.
Orangeville Broncos
Coach: Tyler Daves
Last year: last in the NUIC East
Strengths: Orangeville brings back three seniors and five total returning varsity players.
Weaknesses: Depth and overall talent could be an issue.
Outlook: The Broncos finished last in the East last season. They're a year older, but will likely still finish near the bottom unless the Daves era brings vast improvement.
Ashton-FC Raiders
Coach: Russ Zick
Last year: Ninth in the NUIC East
No other information provided.
NUIC West
Eastland Cougars
Coach: Tony Dunlap
Last year: 30-5, first in the NUIC West, fourth in the state
Key returnees: Dalton Shaner, Sr. (guard), Skylar Paulson, Sr. (center), Devin Hartman, Sr. (guard), Skyler Barncord, Sr., (guard), Marshall Fink, Sr. (forward), Valdet Seferi, Sr., (forward), Eric Schaney, Jr. (guard),
Strengths: Size, experience key for a senior-dominated group.
Weaknesses: Quickness could be an issue, to a degree, for the Cougars.
Outlook: The Cougars should be the top team in the West and could, once again, be the top team in all of the NUIC. Eastland lost four seniors, including starters Austin Hansen and Ty Hartman, but bring back a determined group of seniors ready to make another deep postseason run.
River Ridge Wildcats
Coach: Shean Albrecht
Last year: 19-10, third in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Josh Crist, Sr. (forward), Brenden Dauphin, Jr. (guard), Colton Allen, Sr. (guard), Riley Hepperly, Sr. (forward), Corey Wachter, Sr. (forward), Alex Damico, Sr. (guard), Neil Girot, Sr. (forward)
Strengths: Flexible lineup. Size won't be an issue this year.
Weaknesses: Rebounding.
Outlook: The Wildcats bring back plenty, but lost plenty. Cody Landwer, Tony Hernandez, Sam Veltkamp, Brett Brown and Andrew and Austin Ertmer have all graduated, among others. River Ridge could push itself into the top two teams in the West if the newer players step up.
East Dubuque Warriors
Coach: Eric Miller
Last year: 21-10, second in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Jonah Puls, Sr. (guard), Craig Place, Sr. (forward), Justin Schneider, Jr. (guard), Tyler Hilby, Sr. (guard), Alex Lange, Jr. (guard)
Strengths: Experience, as five players will return that have earned at least one start on the lineup. Depth.
Weaknesses: Puls will be nursing a football-related injury to start the year and isn't expected to return until at least the end of December. Defensive toughness.
Outlook: East Dubuque may stumble out of the gates to start, but will be a threat to take the West once healthy. They're a top-three team when healthy.
Scales Mound Hornets
Coach: Erik Kudronowicz
Last year: 16-12, third in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Stephan Korte, Sr. (guard), Jalen Phillips, Soph. (guard), Kyle Wienen, Soph. (guard), Daniel Whiteside, Sr. (guard)
Strengths: Size, athleticism, varsity experience, understanding of the offensive and defensive systems, younger players have valuable varsity experience, work ethic.
Weaknesses: Hornets lost four key seniors to graduation in Derian Phillips, Josh Korte, Gavin Glasgow and Franki Carlborg.
Outlook: Scales Mound looks to finish in the top half and certainly has darkhorse capabilities.
Lena-Winslow Panthers
Coach: Kyle Benson
Last year: 13-15, fifth in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Adam Wright, Sr. (forward), Hank Holm, Sr. (guard), Ben Moest, Sr. (forward), Logan Moothart, Sr. (guard), Matt Greene, Sr. (forward), Chase Huneke, Sr. (guard)
Strengths: Depth.
Weaknesses: After football team won the state title Nov. 29, four of the team's returning basketball players will trade in their cleats for gym shoes. It'll take a while for the players to get their basketball legs under them. Health is also a concern.
Outlook: Look for the Panthers to perhaps round out the top five of the West.
Stockton Blackhawks
Coach: Gary Timpe
Last year: 18-12, fifth in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Trey Timpe, Sr. (guard), Tony Baltierra, Sr. (forward), Sam Venhuizen, Jr. (guard), Jace Springer, Soph. (forward)
Strengths: The Blackhawks return three starters and a strong junior class. Depth.
Weaknesses: Size.
Outlook: The expectation for Stockton is to finish in the top three, but may have some hurdles to overcome at the start of the season after the football team had a deep run in the postseason.
Pearl City Wolves
Coach: Sean Downey
Last year: 3-26, last in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Clayton Lieb, Soph. (forward), Evan Bull, Jr. (forward), Cody Kluck, Jr. (guard), Justin Lott, Sr. (guard), TJ Wingert, Jr. (guard), Silas Jacobs, Jr. (guard), Walter Ollie, Jr. (guard/forward)
Strengths: Depth will be improved from a season ago when at full strength.
Weaknesses: Experience. Pearl City has just one senior on the roster.
Outlook: The Wolves should improve but they are still young at a few positions and in a tough division. They will have to limit their mistakes nightly to finish in the top half of the West.
Galena Pirates
Coach: Brett Noble
Last year: 6-17, ninth in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Devin Westemeier, Sr. (guard), Mitchell Wubben, Sr. (forward), Kyle Berning, Sr. (forward), Chase Wasson, Sr. (guard), Alex Campbell, Sr. (forward), Alex Peebles, Jr. (forward),
Strengths: Multi-sport athletes give the Pirates speed and athleticism. Depth.
Weaknesses: The Pirates lost its entire starting lineup due to graduation. Size and experience.
Outlook: Expect the Pirates to be outside of the top five in the West.
Warren Warriors
Coach: John Hammann
Last year: 12-20, seventh in the NUIC West
Key returnees: Devin Pax, Sr. (guard), Kullin Harris, Jr. (guard), Jason Heller, Sr. (guard), Colton Janssen, Sr. (forward), Kendall Cox, Jr. (guard/forward), Gavin Leverton, Sr. (forward), Kody Kaiser, Sr. (forward)
Strengths: Speed and quickness. Warren will look to spread the floor.
Weaknesses: Warren will be small and has struggled to defend and rebound against teams with size.
Outlook: With a loaded division, Warren will likely find itself near the bottom of the West.
West Carroll Thunder
Coach: Kyle Tutt
Last year: eighth in the West
Key returnees: Trevor Jones, Sr. (center), Travis Hartman, Sr. (guard), Jordan Bracero, Jr. (guard)
Strengths: The Thunder bring back three returners.
Weaknesses: West Carroll is young and inexperienced especially with adding a new offensive and defensive system with first-year coach Kyle Tutt.
Outlook: The Thunder are inexperienced, in general. There will be some growing pains and will likely be rebuilding this season.
The gap between the top teams in the NUIC and the legitimate contenders in both the East and the West appear to be closing.
That's the view that Eastland boys basketball coach Tony Dunlap has.
"I think Stockton may be head and shoulders over everybody," Dunlap said. "River Ridge has played great basketball without their top player, Brenden Dauphin, with his injury. Scales Mound is scrappy as can be, Pearl City is scoring as many points as they want at will.
"There's a lot of teams that are just playing really, really well. Lena-Winslow, when they get their basketball legs up under them, they'll be a ton. There's no off night and it'll be a battle for our conference."
Dunlap's opinion notwithstanding, the general consensus is Eastland, the defending conference champions and state qualifier, is the team to beat in the 2013-14 season. The Cougars bring back two starters, including AP second teamer Dalton Shaner and Skylar Paulson, along with fellow returnees Devin Hartman, Skyler Barncord and Marshall Fink.
Last season, the Cougars had a respectable fourth-place finish at state despite losing by a point in the semifinal and just two points in the third place game. Wednesday night, Eastland lost to Class 2A third place finisher Winnebago, 73-68.
Dunlap said the team has learned a lot from its first game of the season on the road.
"Any time you can play a team with a tradition and the level of play that Winnebago does, that's a big plus for any program," Dunlap said. "We need to find a way to get over the hump because they've taken it to us the last couple of years.
"We have to get a lot better on defense because that's way too many points to give up and we have to get mentally tougher."
In terms of the conference, teams like East Dubuque and River Ridge will have to get healthier. Warriors guard Jonah Puls will miss time due to a football-related injury as will Dauphin for the Wildcats. The Panthers and the Blackhawks will have to get in basketball shape after prolonged football seasons, as Le-Win won the state title and Stockton played in the state quarterfinal.
In the East division, the conference race looks to be just as even as the West, if not more. Aquin, which is riding a 23-game conference winning streak, looks to win its third East championship in a row led by All-State honorable mention Aiden Chang, and all-conference second teamers Andrew Martin and Anthony Townsend.
Polo is a senior-dominated group with height and team speed, Forreston is a year older, experienced and skilled at guard, and Dakota is younger but still has second team All-State guard Brett Benning.

Adoption Update: Hopefully we will hear this week that the documents have been submitted to the courts in Kampala. There should be no more hang ups. We got to see a bunch of photos of Hadley and Liana this weekend. They look like they are happy and enjoying themselves. If you would like the link to see all that is going on at the baby house just send me a message and I will forward it to you. The home where the girls live is part of an organization that also has a primary school and runs community outreach. There are multiple ways for people to help them listed on their website if you are interested. This week the school has a group of volunteers helping them. Some of the pictures showed the volunteers playing and loving on our girls. It is good to know that someone is loving on them.

Gary Heard, 20, is accused of stabbing her during a disagreement just before 3 a.m. in the 400 block of Doat Street near Genesee Street.
The man and woman knew each other, said police spokesman Michael DeGeorge.
Heard was caught following a short foot chase.
The 18-year-old woman was transported to Erie County Medical Center where she was treated and released.

In this study, the possibility of controlling the microbial growth by conventional filtration in water hydraulic systems is studied. Filtration is used for the particle removal in hydraulic systems and therefore, it is a natural choice for controlling microbes in water hydraulic systems. In filters, the microorganisms continue to grow as biofilms which may finally lead to the clogging of the filter. The replacement time of the filters should be reasonable and therefore, a suitable filtration solution should be found.A pilot-scale water hydraulic system was used in the experiments. Parameters, such as microbial numbers and dissolved organic carbon, in the water phase were determined in order to evaluate the rate of the microbial growth and filtration efficiencies. Microbial numbers were also analysed on the tank surfaces and in the filters. In addition to, a nutrient addition experiment was performed to illustrate the effect of nutrient contamination in water hydraulic systems.As a conclusion, it is important to keep the water hydraulic system clean and the quality of the water high in order to decrease the microbial growth and increase the lifetime of the filters. /Kir10

quote: For those that want to abuse it, we can knock them off," [Sprint CEO Dan] Hesse said at an investor conference Thursday. He said Sprint pares back data use for about 1% of users, a practice known as throttling.
quote: "You'd be shocked how much data you use in a month," Sprint asks in a recent television advertisement. "What happens if you go over? With Sprint, you don't have to worry; only Sprint offers truly unlimited data."
quote: The throttling only applies to customers who use excessive data while roaming on partnered networks -- "a guy in his house in rural Montana" for example. Sprint's fine print notes the carrier will begin throttling after 300 MB of "off-network" data usage.
quote: Sprint has now clarified the situation with a blog post indicating the carrier does not throttle any customer's data usage, even for those with excessive roaming usage. The carrier does, however, have terms in place that permit it to terminate the contracts of users with heavy roaming usage, and it attempts to reach out to those customers and work with them before terminating their contracts.

A theory in science is a vast combination of truths and well-tested hypotheses. Theories are a foundation of science and are not fixed but evolve. The test of knowledge is an experiment in science. In experiment, the researchers come to a conclusion by manipulating some aspect of nature of observation.
A theory can be proved wrong by a series of experiments, whose results are inconsistent with the theory.
On the other hand, a theory can never be regarded correct just by executing a few experiments, because every theory has some constraints like - the environment, instruments and procedure employed in performing the experiments. As these factors change, the experimental results may change and they may not always be consistent with the predictions of the theory. Hence, there is no precise number of experiments which can prove a theory correct.

The Good Wife Bombshell: Creators Explain Why It Had to Happen
If they're fans of The Good Wife, they have good reason: The CBS legal drama hit viewers with a sudden and saddening twist Sunday night as one of its most fundamental characters was killed off from the show.
Read on for spoilers.
Will Gardner, an attorney portrayed by Josh Charles since the show debuted five seasons ago in 2009, died after he was shot in a Chicago courtroom by an unstable client.
Jolted fans took to Twitter with their own assessments of the plot twist on the Julianna Margulies-driven series characterized by its knack for drama.
My loss is catastrophic. My grief is immeasurable. Please respect my privacy at this time. #TheGoodWife— Kevin Williamson (@kevwilliamson) March 24, 2014
Objection! Your honor, I move the Oh My Gardner moment delivered by @MrJoshCharles & @TheGoodWife_CBS be stricken from the record #goodwife— Michelle Tan (@MichAnnTan) March 24, 2014
In a way I can't wait for next weeks episode but at the same time I don't want it to be real! #TheGoodWife— RIP WG (@louresrl_97) March 24, 2014
As viewers wait to see how this bombshell will color next week's episode, The Good Wife showrunners Michelle and Robert King penned a letter (addressed "Dear Loyal Good Wife Fans") to explain the decision, which was impacted by Charles's own endeavor to leave the show.
"We, like you, mourn the loss of Will Gardner. And while Will is gone, our beloved Josh Charles is very much alive and remains an integral part of our family," they tell viewers (via CBS.com).
"When faced with the gut punch of Josh's decision, made over a year ago, to move on to other creative endeavors, we had a major choice to make.
"We could 'send him off to Seattle,' he could be disbarred, or get married, or go off to Borneo to do good works. But there was something in the passion that Will and Alicia shared that made distance a meager hurdle.
"The brutal honesty and reality of death speaks to the truth and tragedy of bad timing for these two characters. Will's death propels Alicia into her newest incarnation."
Tell us in the comments below: Did this episode take you by surprise? And will you continue to watch?

Maryland Labor Secretary Honored by Ana Mendez University
Sanchez receives Excellence in Education Award; Ana Mendez University signs agreement with University System, Morgan State University to open in Silver Spring
WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 14, 2011) Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez was honored yesterday evening by the Ana G. Mendez University System (AGMUS) with its Excellence in Education Award. Sanchez attended the award ceremony in the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill. Sonia Gutierrez, the CEO and Founder of Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School in Washington, D.C., was also honored.
During the awards ceremony, AGMUS President Dr. Jose F. Mendez, Universidad Metropolitana Chancellor Dr. Federico M. Matheu and Morgan State University Provost and Vice President Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker, representing Morgan State University and the University System of Maryland, signed an agreement to bring an Ana G. Mendez University center to Maryland. The new, dual-language higher education center is scheduled to open next month in Silver Spring.
I am honored to accept this award from the Ana G. Mendez University System. Dr. Mendez was an inspiration to many and a champion for lifelong learning. Her belief in the importance of education is as important today as it was during her life, Sanchez said. In Maryland, we share her belief that education should be accessible to all children, no matter who their parents are or where their parents came from. Because of the investments Governor Martin OMalley has made in education, Maryland is home to the nations best-educated and most highly-skilled workforce.
The Ana G. Méndez Excellence in Education Award recognizes individuals for their valuable contributions towards promoting excellence in education among the U.S. Latino community, said Dr. Mendez. Secretary Alexander Sanchez has helped to promote alliances that enhance the educational bilingual opportunities and skills of the local workforce population. His support has made a difference in making the DC Metro areas first dual-language program a reality.
Sanchez gave brief remarks after being honored. In his remarks, he stated that more than 40 percent of foreign-born Marylanders have a college degree. More than a quarter of the states scientists, a fifth of the states health care workers and a fifth of the states computer specialists are foreign-born. Despite these promising trends, one out of four skilled immigrants is working in an unskilled job and 40 percent of immigrant adults are limited English proficient, resulting in lower wages and unutilized skills.
The Maryland Department of Labor (DLLR) administers several programs to help increase English proficiency and tap into the skills of Marylands immigrant community. DLLR offers free ESL classes at many of the states One Stop Employment Centers. The Welcome Back Initiative provides orientation, educational resources, access to language training and support that helps foreign-trained health professionals more easily navigate the licensing process to allow them to restart careers in the U.S. health industry.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

Let's stop glorifying violence and horror
In light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut, I have a few thoughts on arms restrictions.
As a retired federal officer and former National Rifle Association member who withdrew my membership several years ago over NRA support of assault weapons, I recognize that changes have to take place in this country regarding automatic and assault weapons. The availability of assault weapons is unacceptable.
However, I believe an equally important change that must be made is in our tolerance of video games and horror movies that glorify the use of these weapons. Hollywood and video games have, for years, fed the country a steady diet of gore, torture and murder that must be stopped.

My canon ip2600 is working with 12.04 now, Instead of using the michael gruz repo, I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...4&postcount=33
(got the drivers from http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/ )
And to make the dependencies pass, I changed libcupsys2 to libcups2 and libpopt0 to 1.16
And a final note, I REMOVED the printer from the cups config, then TURNED THE PRINTER off, and unplugged the USB cable BEFORE installing these packages. Then I turned the printer on WITHOUT the USB connected, WAITED for warmup to COMPLETE. Then connected the cable.
Dunno if all these particular steps are necessary, but this is exactly what worked for me with an up to date 12.04 after trying various fixes including completely hunting down and downgrading cups dependencies for hours.

The Greeley Moms have been attempting to deal with the tragic school shooting in Connecticut today, by writing. Here are their thoughts on this awful tragedy.
A universal truth
By Allyson Zadeh
There is a truth buried deep within each person that goes beyond culture, religion, gender, age and politics: Crimes against children are nothing short of evil. Today, this truth is once again proven by the shock, outrage and grief we feel over the events in Connecticut.
Twenty elementary school children and six grown-ups who tried to protect them are not coming home tonight to begin a bustly weekend before Christmas.
Twenty children between the ages of 5 and 10 were slaughtered today.
It's too early to begin to speak of recovery. Too raw to find any glimmer of healing. Too fresh and unspeakable to do much of anything other than cry with and for the victims.
There is nothing that any single human on this earth can do to make this 'better' for anyone involved. Changing gun laws won't bring the kids back. Lamenting over "what's going on with the young adults of America" won't make this disturbed young man's choices any different, though those are each potentially valuable conversations to be had at some point.
Many people look for God in times like this and wonder why He didn't prevent this from happening. I don't know the answer to that; my worldview certainly teaches that He could have. Somehow though, He still allows evil. Maybe it's the only way people will turn to Him and His teachings of "love thy neighbor?"
One thing I do know is that nobody loved children more than His Son Jesus. When Christ walked the earth, children were not valued like they are today. However, He went against cultural norms and preached about their inherent value, going so far as to say "whatever you do to the least of these {the children}, you do to me." I believe that Jesus is weeping with us all today. He is devastated at the choice that was made today with one man's free will. This is the same free will He gave us all.
1 John 4:4 says "Little children, you are from God and have overcome them {oppressors}, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." There is no doubt that these kids are in heaven today, as they are from God.
However, this does not take away the pain and questions of those of us left behind. There are Christmas gifts that will go unopened; siblings who will be wondering what happened to their brother or sister. There will be 20 fewer first crushes...driving permits...graduation parties...weddings.
And let's not forget the adults who died trying to protect the children. If we look back to the same Scripture, I believe there's reassurance that these heroes are in heaven today, too. They died "for the least of these," who Jesus treasured so much.
There's no explanation for evil - especially evil perpetrated to the most innocent of societal members. Mothers are weeping. Fathers are weeping. Teachers are weeping. Jesus...He, He is weeping too.
How to process the tragedy of it all
By Kayenta Williams
I dropped my son off at preschool this morning and went home only to turn on the TV and see the horrific news that 20 little children had been murdered at a school in Connecticut.
I don't know to even process the tragedy of it all.
We tell our children - and we believe - that we will keep them safe. We walk with them to school, hold their little hands while they cross the street and surround them with every safety net we can imagine.
And then a random event like this rocks our ideas of safety.
A school is supposed to be one of those places we can send our kids and know that they will be taken care of. Sure, there are terrible bullying incidents and other isolated acts of violence, but an armed gunman shooting down classrooms full of kindergarteners is not even in our bank of scenarios we prepare for.
I just look at my little boy - only 6 months younger than many of those murdered today - and wonder how I can possibly protect him and his brother in a culture where these things happen.
Shootings in movie theaters, churches, malls and now elementary schools. Such random acts that destroy so many lives.
I don't pretend to have any answers about gun control, but I do know that as a country we have to do something about this culture that makes it so apparently easy to obtain and use assault weapons. Because guns DO kill people when in the wrong hands.
Our kids have the right to know they will be safe in public, or at school. Gun control is a hot-button issue, and a big talking point for politicians, but for the families affected by gun violence, it is so very personal. I can only hope this will get a real conversation started.
We owe it to our children to get the culture of violence under control.
Until then, I can only hold my children close and continue to tell them I will protect them. I only wish that I had the power to do that 100 percent of the time.
My heart is broken
By Caiti Mondragon
My heart is broken hearing of the tragedy at Sandy Brook Elementary School.
Yes, an elementary school.
I am sitting on my couch, inconsolable... and I know none of these kids, teachers, parents, brothers or sisters. My heart literally hurts.
This week, I have been surrounded by events that have happened. Events that make people question, why? These events have opened my eyes to a world of pain, hate, sadness and loss. I'm no longer worried about the tiles falling off in our bathroom or our sprinklers not being blown out. It just doesn't matter anymore...there are SO many people out there right now that are hurting much, much more.
Yesterday, I attended the funeral of one very special woman. She left behind a husband, three young boys and a family who loved her very much. They are hurting.
Looking at the pile of canned goods that our school has collected for families in need...wondering how they're going to feed their family. They are hurting.
Imagining these kids at Sandy Brook...20 of them who lost their innocent lives. Even the kids and teachers who survived will forever be haunted by this act of terror. Seeing photo upon photo pop up of kids who are in complete panic. Kids should never be a witness to anything like this. They are hurting.
Watching the President hold a news conference, crying. We are ALL hurting.
Yeah, my problems are pretty small.
Tonight, when your kids aren't eating their dinner...be thankful they're home safe. Or, tomorrow when they're throwing a fit because they want ice cream for breakfast...be thankful they still have their voice. Hug and kiss your kids a little bit extra, not only tonight...but everyday.
May God bless everyone who is hurting.

Sitting in the audience at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Paltrow, 41, watched Danner, 71, a Tony award-winning actress, perform in The Country House, and was moved by one of the play's more dramatic moments.
"She was tearing up at a scene where her mother – who plays a legendary actress – has a confrontation with her grown-up, depressed son," a theatergoer tells PEOPLE. "It was sweet to see her watching her mom."
Joining Paltrow for the night out was close friend Gavin Rossdale, who was spotted waiting in the Geffen lobby before she arrived. The pals then chatted in their seats.
"She was talking about how it was the perfect part for her mom, and proudly told Gavin about her mom's theater history," says the onlooker.
The Chekhov-inspired play, which costars Scandal's Scott Foley, is headed to Broadway this fall.

The Harley-Davidson® Motor Company was incorporated on the 17th of September 1907 by William S Harley, Arthur Davidson and two other founders. Their workforce was already 18 strong and dealer recruitment had begun. The first Harley-Davidson® was produced between 1901 and 1903 and was available to the public during 1903. The bike was built to be a racer and in 1908 Walter Davidson, Arthur's brother and co founder won the 7th annual Federation of American Motorcyclists Endurance and Reliability Contest. Harley-Davidson®'s motorcycles soon got a reputation of being tough and reliable.
By 1913 a racing department had been formed, with William Ottaway as its first assistant engineer to racing engineer William S Harley. Team Harley-Davidson® soon became known as the wrecking crew due to their dominance of the sport.
During 1917 nearly one third of all the motor cycles are sold to the U.S military and by 1918 nearly half their production is sold to the U.S military. 1920 is a huge year as Harley-Davidson® is the largest motorcycle manufacture in the world.
By the end of 1925 all Harley-Davidson® motorcycles were produced with the teardrop shape fuel tank that we've come to recognize as a Harley trait.
In 1935 the Japanese motorcycle industry is founded as Harley-Davidson® licenses the blue prints, tools, dies and machinery to the Sankyo Company of Japan. With the results being the Rikuo motorcycle.
By the end of the war in 1945 almost 90,000 motorcycles had produced for military use.
1953 sees Harley-Davidson® celebrate 50 years of production and their largest competition Hendee Manufacturing, the creator of the Indian motorcycle goes out of business leaving Harley as the sole U.S manufacturer until 1999.
During 1964 electric start is introduced and in 1964 Harley-Davidson® merges with the American Machine and Foundry Company (AMF), a longtime producer of leisure products.
The 80's sees the introduction of the Kevlar belt, replacing the chain as the final drive. The belt is cleaner running and needs less adjustment. 13 senior executives also decide to buy back AMF's share of the Harley-Davidson® Motor Company.
1993 sees Harley purchase a minority stake in the Buell Motorcycle Company, and by 1998 they buy the remaining 49% and Erik Buell is named Chairman of Buell operations.
2003 sees over 250,000 people come to Milwaukee for the final stop of the Open Road Tour and the Harley-Davidson® 100th Anniversary Celebration and Party.
Jersey Harley-Davidson® was started on the 1st April 1998 by Geoff Habin and his team. In 2004 the decision was made to move to larger premises with a 2500 sq ft showroom.

In the wake of a landmark investor survey of Latin America's banking sector, LatinFinance takes stock of a range of views of investment professionals weighing up the merits of a fast evolving industry
The picture that emerges from the study – produced
jointly by LatinFinance and consultancy firm Management &
Excellence (M&E) – is of a generally

Colombia and Brazil are both surprises in the survey,

A 79-year-old Depew man was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle Wednesday by Buffalo Police accident investigators after he allegedly took a golf cart belonging to the National Guard at the Navy Week opening festivities at Canalside and struck a woman, Buffalo Police reported.
The incident occurred about 3:30 p.m., just after the opening Navy Week ceremony had ended. . The suspect took off with the golf cart and hit a 41-year-old female pedestrian who was briefly pinned beneath the vehicle.
Several Navy personnel rushed over and pushed the golf cart onto its side to help extricate the woman. Navy and local officials then assisted the woman at the scene until an ambulance arrived.
The woman was taken to the Erie County Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The names of the man who took the cart and the woman who was injured were not released.

NEW CUMBERLAND - Safety improvements to the large metal press box doors at the Oak Glen High School Field of Dreams should be done in time for spring sports, the Hancock County school board learned on Monday.
School board President Jerry Durante, who had been critical of the design of the heavy doors, said he met with the architect, McKinley & Associates, of Wheeling, last week and is satisfied with the remedy.
"The issue with the press box is resolved," Durante said. "They did attend to the problem, and I wanted to give them credit for that."

At issue was the weight of the doors - about 80 pounds each - and the potential for someone in the press box to get hurt using them. The eight doors - four each in the girls and boys press boxes - open at the bottom and latch to the ceiling, allowing press box occupants a full view of the baseball and softball fields.
"They needed to be more secure. It was a safety issue," Durante said.
At two recent meetings, school board members had been critical of the doors' design and the perceived lack of a solution on the part of contractors. Unbeknownst to the school board, however, a solution was in the works, Durante said.
McKinley had been working on a "pneumatic closer" that will make the doors easier and safer to use, Durante said. One has been installed and the rest are on order, Superintendent Suzan Smith said.
Also Monday, the board approved 14 teacher resignations, including 12 retirements. The retirements are effective in June.
Smith said the board acted on the retirements all at one time because West Virginia gives teachers until Jan. 15 to announce their intentions. A teacher is eligible to retire when he or she reaches age 55 and has 30 years' experience.
Smith said she will wait until the end of the school year to determine which of the vacancies will need to be filled for the 2013-14 year.
"There's a wealth of knowledge that is leaving when these teachers leave and when you look at the number of years they've taught," she said. "Any time these teachers have been experienced teachers, that experience is gone, so, yeah, it's a loss."
Smith said one factor in determining how many vacancies to fill is the district's enrollment, which has been down in recent years. The district lost 131 students between the 2011-12 school year and the current school year, according to the latest October head count.
The board also approved 30 non-certified coaches for a reduction-in-force (RIF), meaning they will have to reapply for the coaching positions next year. None of the affected coaches have teaching certificates, Smith said.
"State law says if you do not have a West Virginia teaching certificate, we have to have a RIF," she said. "Each year, we have to eliminate those people. Next year, when we post the position, they can bid on those positions."
The board also heard presentations about academic improvements at Weir Middle School and Weir High School. Students, teachers and principals from both schools addressed the board.
The board will meet at 6 p.m. today to consider a student expulsion.
Special meetings are scheduled for 6 p.m. Feb. 4, 5 and 6. The latter two are for RIF and transfer hearings.
The next regular board meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 11.

LOCKPORT – A developmentally disabled man, who had sex with a 15-year-old girl several times last year, was placed on 10 years' probation Thursday by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas, who said she wants the defendant assigned to a residential facility.
Christopher B. LaForme Jr., 27, of Berner Parkway, Royalton, was freed from the County Jail, where he had been for more than six months. He had pleaded guilty to third-degree rape, third-degree criminal sexual act, disseminating indecent material to a minor and second-degree criminal contempt. Defense attorney David C. Douglas called LaForme "mildly retarded."
Farkas ordered the county Probation Department to refer LaForme, rated a Level 2 sex offender, to the state Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities for placement. She also said Probation may require him to submit to electronic home monitoring in the meantime.
Substance abuse also may have played a role in the case. LaForme told a probation officer he'd been using opiates since age 14, but told a staffer of the county Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime program that he uses only alcohol and marijuana.

Wigmore: The Japanese Connection
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
Northwestern University Law Review, Vol. 10, 1981
John Henry Wigmore was a preeminent scholar in the law of his own land, but he also thought about the law and legal problems on a global scale. This article discusses Wigmore's research in Japanese law, his work in comparative law generally and his interest in international law and institutions.
In 1889, Wigmore was asked to serve for three years as a professor of law at a Japanese university. He took this as an opportunity to compare the process of legal development in the West with that in Tokugawa-era Japan. His research unearthed a goldmine of information regarding Japanese legal history and he began a large translation and editing project which was not completed until after his death. His early Japanese connection certainly contributed to the formation of his view of the law and legal problems on a global scale.
Although comparative law was never the focus of Wigmore's scholarship, his interest in comparative and historical studies stayed with him all his life. As this article discusses, Wigmore made important contributions to comparative law and showed others the fascination and utility of the study of other legal systems. He supported international institutions and sought to promote interchange and cooperation among lawyers from around the world. He taught a generation of students about the emerging international order. In all of these things, Wigmore's vision was far ahead of its time.

By Michelle Reiser-Memmer
Posted February 16, 2014
Tags Black History Month Faculty Michael "Doc" Woods Music Performances Performing Arts
The Hamilton College Department of Music presents The Voice: New Jazz Artists with "Doc" Woods on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 7:30 p.m., in the Fillius Events Barn.
For this event, Woods brings together some of the brightest new voices in jazz to celebrate Black History month. Performers include Woods, bass and composition; Tom Witkowski, piano; Rick Compton, drums; and featured soloists Morgan McMillon, alto sax; Jeff Jewsome, trumpet.
Jewsome of Kansas and McMillon of Michigan are both former students of Woods. They will be performing together for the first time. "These two are simply stellar, and the feel and energy they bring to the music will make for an exciting evening," says Woods. "I thought it important in this month that is focused on African American History, to showcase two individuals who understand the origins of this "made in America" art form and are equally capable of creating 21st century sounds while being that musical bridge for future generations."
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the box office at 859-4331 or visit Performing Arts.

For full-semester courses, students may withdraw from classes without penalty before the second full week of classes. For classes that meet in 7-week blocks, students may withdraw without penalty before the second class session. Please refer to the Student Accounts Services web page for the tuition refund schedule.
For full-semester courses, students may still withdraw from class through the eleventh week of class and receive a W. For classes that meet in 7-week blocks, students may withdraw from class before the sixth session and receive a W, which does not affect a student's GPA. Students who withdraw after these dates receive a grade of WF, which is calculated as an F in the GPA.
Specific withdrawal deadlines are listed in the Academic Calendar. In case of illness or injury, family members may complete the student withdrawal from the college. In case of duress or special need, an administrative withdrawal may be initiated by the Dean of Students.
Students who fail to withdraw from courses they have not attended are liable for all tuition and interest charged to their accounts. Grades of F are assigned at the end of the semester for any classes that students fail to drop. See page 47 for information on tuition reviews.

BEECH BOTTOM - The old Wheeling Corrugating plant has its first tenant, a Tulsa, Okla.-based pipeline company that will be installing a 40-mile-plus section of pipeline from just north of Washington, Pa., through the Northern Panhandle to Ohio, bringing hundreds of jobs to the region.
Sheehan Pipeline, a union contractor, will use the site as a staging area, with trailers for its administrative offices and doctors as well as equipment storage.
Though its lease hasn't been finalized, Sheehan is already prepping the property - removing tons of rock and laying down some 5,000 tons of base material. Local authorities are working to get them water, sewage and electric service on an expedited basis.
About a month from now, they'll be hiring between 400 and 500 union laborers, Teamsters, operating engineers and welders, fitters, journeymen and helpers, at least half of them local, officials explained.
"It will be their base point in the Northern Panhandle," said Pat Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle. "They've been looking for months for a site to set up operations - administrative offices, doctors offices, an equipment area it's almost going to be like a small town."
The BDC acquired the former industrial property in November, purchasing the roughly 650-acre site for $200,000. The BDC is teaming with a Los Angeles-based Hackman Capital, which owns the equipment, to market the property.
While Sheehan's work here is temporary - around eight months, unless they pick up additional jobs - when Sheehan leaves, the site will be tenant-ready.
"We'll put in the stone, base rock and cap rock, and when we leave, our agreement with the BDC is that we won't pull that up," said Sheehan's Jim Lovell, crediting the BDC for its efforts. "We'll leave that for the next tenant. So we're taking raw ground and developing it for future use for the organization."
Beech Bottom Mayor George Lewis said the deal is huge "for all of Brooke County, and for the village itself."
"At one time we counted, 53 percent of the village was retired," Lewis said. "With what they'll be bringing in (business and occupation) taxes and jobs for the young people we do have here, it's going to be a shot in the arm."
Lewis said village crews will be doing the water work for the project. The village also is offering Sheehan some tax incentives.
"We're just excited about these jobs," he said, pointing out the new infrastructure "is going into virgin ground, it's never even been used for housing or office space, and now we're getting city water and public sewage to them."
Ford called it a "huge win for Beech Bottom in general, and the Northern Panhandle in particular," and credited the BDC's government and business partners for their efforts, including Brooke County Commissioner Jim Andreozzi, Tax Assessor Tom Oughton and Del. Phil Diserio, D-Brooke.
"This is just a short-term lease, but it's going to have substantial long-term economic impacts in the panhandle," Ford said. "Just in the Beech Bottom site alone, Sheehan is probably putting almost half a million dollars in site improvements in, if they'd had to bid it out, that will remain on the site after they leave. But more important, now we really are starting to see the tide turn in the diversification of the economic base in the panhandle from steel to now include gas and oil and energy."
Ford alluded to the announced expansion at Ergon in Newell, as well as Environmental Solution's presence in Weirton and now, Sheehan, as "small but very positive signs."
"Between the processing, the servicing and piping of the gas and oil in our region, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing these wins closer and closer together," he said.
He credited the BDC's partners with making the deal happen. "Sheehan Pipeline needed a site, we needed to make decisions quickly," he said. "Because of our investment partners in our board, Brooke County Commission, the village of Beech Bottom, Brooke County Public Service District and Hammond Public Service District, we were able to mobilize quickly."
Sheehan Pipeline, in business since 1903, is celebrating its 110th year in business.
