CLINTON TWP. An 18-year old autistic man was arrested on simple assault charges after police reported he assaulted both parents Tuesday.
On Aug. 19 at approximately 12:20p.m., police responded to a township residence for a report of an 18-year old autistic man in a physical alteration with his father, 50.
The man's 53-year old mother, who called police, told police that she had left the residence. Police say that the son had an emotional outburst, had assaulted both parents and had run away before police arrived.
Police say the son also punched objects at the residence, including but not limited to punching his hand through a glass window.
The young man was soon located by police a short distance from home. They report that he had a bloody hand.
The son was arrested and charged with domestic violence-related simple assault. His hand was treated by Clinton Rescue Squad and he was taken to Hunterdon Medical Center for evaluation. Both parents declined to apply for a restraining order.

A Dog's Life – Welcome to Dáil Éireann
Harry McGee
The dynamics of Irish politics this week have been extraordinary.
What we saw last night was the closest to a free vote we will ever see in Dáil Éireann.
The only grouping that stayed solid was Fine Gael.
Mattie McGrath defied Fianna Fail. So did Christy O'Sullivan (committing a venial rather than a mortal political sin).
Tommy Broughan went AWOL for last night's vote and promptly lost the Labour Party whip. He said last night that he could not in conscience oppose a Bill, the principle of which the Labour Party had supported. He was consistent. But was still given the order of the boot by his parliamentary pary.
And then there was Arthur Morgan. Like the Labour Party, Sinn Fein has done a complete U-turn on stag hunting. A motion was passed at the 2009 Ard Fheis calling for a ban on all blood sports. Then the hare coursing fraternity within the party got to work and managed to completely reverse the decision at this year's Ard Fheis.
Sinn Fein's position now? It now opposes only three or four extreme forms of blood sport – bull fighting; cock fighting and dog fighting – but is no longer opposed in principle to any other form of blood sport. It presumably judges them on a case-by-case basis.
Arthur Morgan has a very strong view on all this. He supports the ban on stag hunting passionately. He was in a bit of a quandary yesterday. He would have voted to support the Bill if there was a free vote or even if it looked like the Government had the numbers to easily psas. But if it was close and the Government looked like falling, he might have been persuaded to vote against, as a protest against all the other Government policies and decisions he opposed.
The solution? He kicked up a racket yesterday afternoon and got chucked out of the Dáil. It essentially solved the problem at a stroke.
And then there was the flip-flop from two sets of independents. Maureen O'Sullivan and Finian McGrath who normally oppose the Government signalled early that they would support the Bill. Joe Behan said he was against.
But the fact that O'Sullivan and McGrath were supporting the Government gave Michael Lowry some wiggle room. He could safely oppose the Bill without defeating the Government because it looked like it had the numbers to secure the vote by two or three. He then persuaded Jackie Healy Rae to follow suit. Healy Rae perfected another U-turn. He said he was opposed to stag hunting last weekend. Yesterday, he was for it. Consistent in his inconsistency.
The Dáil chamber is shaped like a small amphitheatre. The senior members of the party sit at the bottom with others above them. At the top of each stairs there is a kind of mezzanine that encircles the pit below.
The Fianna Fail huddle at the top of the stairs was extraordinary last night. A number of deputies – Eamon O Cuiv; Brendan Smith; Michael McGrath; Ned O'Keeffe; and John Browne – crowded around the two dissidents, imploring with them to stay onside. While both were opposed to the stag hunting legislation, the big issue for them was the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill which will come onto the radar on Friday and be voted on next week.
"We kept on telling them to keep their powder dry for that, to stay on board and fight to get the right amendments," said one of the TDs involved in the last-minute pleas. The Government Chief Whip John Curran became involved, but not Brian Cowen who seemed to stay aloof from all the action (he had earlier refused in the parliamentary party meeting to get involved in any huddle with unhappy TDs).
The normal system for voting is by electronic means. TDs press a switch that provides two options: Tá and Níl. If they abstain they don't press the button. The Yes votes comes up as green dots on the display screen showing the seating plan. For a yes vote last night, there was a sea of green dots on the FF side. Christy O'Sullivan relented at the last minute. His green dot lit up. But then there was the red dot that popped up for Mattie, a surefire indication that he was getting his marching orders.
"If you were a horse, Mattie, they would have to put you down," quipped Pat Rabbitte.
Mattie came back later with the quote of the night.
"Green people want to close the zoo, want to stop horseracing, they want to stop the pussycat going after the mouse."
Fine Gael played some ungracious politics last night. Three pairs had been agreed last week for Ministers who were abroad. They had also agreed to two pairs for two Fianna Fail TDs who are ill. Then it emerged yesterday that two other Fianna Fail TDs were ill and were not in a position to attend.
Fine Gael offered no extra pairs. But rather ungraciously they removed two of the pairs for the second vote last night, putting the whole vote onto a knife edge.
There is still a lot to play for in these two pieces of animal welfare legislation. The Greens will compromise hugely on the dog breeding Bill but the question is will it do enough to assuage recalcitrant Fianna Failers? They want the greyhound industry and the hunting packs to be exempt from the Bill. The Fianna Fail deputy whip John Cregan last night said that they had made a lot of headway on greyhounds but other FF backbenchers were worrying allowed about hunting packs. At issue is a letter form 2008 which seems to clearly state that John Gormley has given the Irish Hunting Association a free pass. He will have some explaining to do if he wants to argue the contrary.
It's all beginning to look a bit tenous for the Government.
Late last year, I believed the Government would survive for most of its term.
But a series of unforeseen illnesses since then, and backbench unhappinness over non-core issues (stag-hunting and dogs versus the economic crisis) have made me revise that radically.
Martin Cullen is gone. There are three by-elections which have to be held, all of which will narrow the margin. Five TDs from Fianna Fail will no longer hold the whip at the end of this week. A number of TDs have serious health issues that may force early retirment in one or two cases.
They will make it to the summer recess of 2010. I no longer believe they will make it to the summer recess of 2011.

According to Al Dar daily, the maid, who was not named, was found dead shortly after she entered her new room to arrange her belongings. The house owner's wife said that she discovered her lying on the room floor with a rope around her neck.

Advanced Fire Investigation Class Graduates
Fire and Police Graduate Advanced Fire Investigation Course
State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Director Edmund Walker are pleased to announce the graduation of 26 members of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy's six-day Advanced Fire Investigation course on Thursday, May 16, 2013. This rigorous professional training provides fire, and state and local police officers with the advanced skills to accurately determine the origin and cause of fires in their jurisdictions and together, build solid, prosecutable cases. The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, a division of the Department of Fire Services, offers this program, tuition-free.
Team Concept of Fire Investigation
State Fire Marshal Coan said, "The team concept of fire investigation has been used successfully in Massachusetts for over a decade and it starts with joint training." He added, "When police and fire are trained in the same techniques and procedures together, the consistency leads to solid cause and origin determinations, and when arson is the cause, solid criminal cases."
Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Director Edmund M. Walker said, "This course provides students with fire scene experience from investigation through courtroom testimony. They are exposed to the investigatory process as outlined in the National Fire Protection Association Standard 921: Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations."
26 Graduates: 20 Firefighters and Five Local Police & One State Police Officers
The 26 graduates, including five local police officers, one Massachusetts State Police officer and 20 firefighters, represent the following agencies:
|Belmont Police Department
|Medford Police Department
|Cambridge Fire Department
|Nahant Fire Department
|Centerville-Osterville-Marston Mills Fire District
|Natick Police Department
|Dudley Fire Department
|Newton Police Department
|Dighton Fire Department
|Norton Fire Department
|Falmouth Fire Department
|Norwood Fire Department
|Hardwick Fire Department
|Saugus Fire Department
|Hardwick Police Department
|Stoneham Fire Department
|Holyoke Fire Department
|Worcester Fire Department
|Mass. State Police
|Yarmouth Fire Department
|Medford Fire Department
The six-day advanced fire investigation course covers the concepts of fire behavior, scene examination, fire scene documentation, evidence collection, witness interviewing, and management of major fire investigations in more depth than the basic fire investigation class. It also addresses the legal issues of managing fire scenes, evidence collection, and concludes with practical exercises of participating in the courtroom process. Students give mock depositions and participate in both a mock grand jury and a mock trial. The program covers unintentional fires, intentionally set fires, automobile fires, fatal fires and wildland fires.
Origin and Cause Determination
Fire investigators work to first determine the point of origin of the fire and then its cause. Once they are able to determine the point of origin, they often rely on witness statements to identify the possible sources of ignition at that point and then work to eliminate each possible ignition source, one by one, until they are left with only one most probable cause. Fire investigators are trained to examine a fire scene by going from the minimum amount of burn damage to the point or points with the maximum amount of burn damage. The rationale being that the fire has been burning longest where the most damage is and that is often where the fire began. In addition, they learn to analyze burn patterns that can reveal how the fire spread, how hot it was and how long it burned. They learn how to effectively collect evidence samples, how and when to avail themselves of resources such as accelerant-detection canines, state police fire investigators in the Office of the State Fire Marshal, and technical experts such as electricians.
Witness-Driven Protocol
Massachusetts uses a witness-driven protocol of fire investigation. Investigators want to interview people who know the building or saw the fire start as quickly as possible while memories are fresh or before those displaced by the fire become hard to locate. Investigators compare the witness statements to the evidence found in the forensic scene examination to determine the cause of the fire. With possibly a large number of people to interview quickly, the benefit of the added manpower a team investigation brings is obvious. Investigators compare notes and often need to re-interview witnesses for clarification. A deep understanding of fire behavior is essential to evaluating witness statements.
Coan said, "It is a challenge to determine the cause of the fire when so much of the needed evidence is destroyed by the fire itself. Fires can also create evidence which assists investigators. This training provides our local fire and police investigators with the skills and knowledge to meet that challenge."

Lenovo IdeaPad S205-1038

Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad S205-1038
Source: PC Advisor
Bridging the gap between netbook and laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad S205-1038 comes in at a very competitive price even if it does lack the raw power of some of the competition. If you're after something highly portable but need to do more than send a few emails and surf the web the Lenovo is ideal, and the sharp definition offered by the screen outweighs the drawback of having a glossy finish.

You said it would have been one of the worst trade ideas you've ever seen. You do know what worst means right? Worst basically means bad to the highest degree. To say it would be one of the worst trade ideas ever means to me that it would be within the top few worst trades ever on this board, when it is cleary not even close to it. The idoicy of this board has proven again and again to be far above that of a potential swap of near equal players.
Sorry but you're wrong, and so are all the people who will neg me for this. Take your homer and anti-hawks glasses off and realize how much of douchebags you guys are sounding like. The guy had an opinion, and it wasn't even agaisnt the wings, he simply said worse trades had been made and suggested. Are you seriously that delusional to think he is wrong in this? He was not instigating anything, for f*** sakes he even added a smiley face. Suddenly everyone attacks him for no reason, and then quotes his response post in which he called
you (and deservedly so in my mind), a dumbass. That is not "hypocrisy" that is defending yourself. But feel free LGW to mass neg me instead of replying in a civilized and actually intelligent matter. It's absoloutly hilarious how people think that an anymous rating system somehow makes someone wrong.
i didnt say it would be one of the worst trade ideas, i said it is. the keyword is "idea". most people come up with random ideas that trade our scrubs for other teams superstars or whatever but not many come up with ones that make the team worse. not sure why you're so worked up over this?

Thanks to caramel-covered apples, Christine Murphy, the owner of a Philadelphia manufacturing company, has doubled her workforce.
That makes her a rarity among manufacturers, who once again, along with construction companies and transportation firms, led the downward slide in the nation's payrolls reported yesterday by the U.S. Department of Labor.
For Murphy, who owns S. Zitner Co., caramel-covered apples herald the annual swelling of her workforce to a high of 30 in the winter months, when the North Philadelphia candy factory churns out chocolate Easter eggs and bunny rabbits.

This week we interview Dr. Yossef Av-Gay and discuss his recently published paper, his contribution to TB drug discovery and the focus of his research. Dr. Av-Gay, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of British Columbia, recently published a paper in PNAS that provides evidence to that points to a specific protein that allows Mtb to bypass the body's defenses. Additional TB R&D news links are included.
This week's featured article from Bill Jacob's lab looks at novel InhA (target of isoniazid (INH), a first-line TB drug) inhibitors and their ability to kill M. tuberculosis (M.tb) that is drug-sensitive, resistant and in dormant stage. Two compounds were identified that had significant bactericidal activity against M.tb: CD 39 and CD117. Additional links to TB R&D News are included.
his week, we present an article from researchers from the Instituto de Biotecnologia and TB Control Program in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The article focuses on the P27-P55 operon which has been shown in mice to be essential for M. tuberculosis (M. tb) to survive in the host. Additional links to TB R&D news are included.
This week we look again at the role of efflux pumps in resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs. Louw, et al., sought to "demonstrate that the level of rifampicin resistance is defined by efflux, which regulates the intracellular concentration of rifampicin." This is a shift from the current thinking in the field that rifampicin resistance is solely the result of mutations in the rpoB gene. The article entitled "Rifampicin Reduces Susceptibility to Ofloxacin in Rifampicin Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis through Efflux" was published ahead of print in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Additional links to TB R&D News is included.
The WGND had the opportunity to interview three researchers (Lalita Ramakrishnan, Paul Edelstein, and Christine Cosma) involved in the groundbreaking research on the role of efflux pumps in contributing to drug tolerance during TB treatment which was published in the April 1 issue of Cell. Additional links to TB R&D News are included.
In this week's article which was published online ahead of print, Elkington, et al., presents significant data to support the premise that M. tuberculosis infection drives proteolytic destruction of the lung matrix contributing to lung damage caused by TB and to the morbidity and mortality of TB. Additional links to TB R&D News are included.
This week in TB R&D, we are highlighting a symposium hosted by The New York Academy of Sciences entitled "New Frontiers in Marine Drug Discovery" on May 20, 2011. This 1-day symposium will overview the current state of the art in Marine Biomedicine and its role in the context of the drug discovery process. Additional TB R&D news links are included.
Today on World TB Day, the International Scientific Exchange Foundation of China (ISEFC), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance) to establish the Global Health R&D Center of China (GHRC). This innovative center will focus on the development of treatments for the world's leading infectious disease killers—tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV/AIDS.

How to Report a Scam
We just spent the last three days going over some of the more popular internet scams out there and today we're going to do something about it.
One of the difficult parts about reporting scams is that there are so many scammers! It can feel like you're fighting against the tide… the tide will keep coming no matter what you do. When it comes to scams like a fake Nigerian prince asking you for help or notification that you've won the Irish International Lottery, mark the email as spam and move on. The combination of a million scammers and the fact that they're abroad makes enforcement nearly impossible. If it's something more local or more involved, like a fake work at home job from a company located in the domestic United States, report it to the authorities.

A Kickstarter For Green Energy
Brian Dumaine, Fortune Magazine
By Internet standards, crowdfunding has been around forever. The idea to tap into online communities to raise money first became popular in 1997, when fans of the British rock group Marillion raised $60,000 to fund a U.S. tour for the band. . .

Finland's mobile phone giant Nokia is planning to sue Apple for their failure to pass on royalties from their sales of the immensely popular iPhone.
Apple are said to have infringed upon Nokia's mobile phone technology patents when developing the iPhone.
How much Nokia will be seeking has not yet been confirmed, but expert analyst Gene Munster from Piper Jaffray predicts that Nokia will seek 1-2% from every iPhone that is sold.
Over 30 million have been sold to date which would generate between $6 and $12 per iPhone, potentially totalling $400m.
Apple has recently announced third quarter profits of £1bn with the iPhone delivering a 7% growth, having to pass on 1-2% of its iPhone royalties would be relatively insignificant.
On the other hand, Nokia revealed a loss for the last quarter due to a downturn in sales; the first in a decade.
Nokia has confirmed agreements with approximately 40 companies, which included the majority of mobile phone handset makers, allowing the use of its technological advancements, but Apple had not signed the agreement.
Ilkka Rahnasto, vice-president of legal and intellectual property at Nokia explained, "the basic principle in the mobile industry is that those companies who contribute in technology development to establish standards create intellectual property, which others then need to compensate for."
"Apple is also expected to follow this principle."
Mr Rahnasto went on to say, that Nokia has actually invested over £36bn on research and development in the past two decades.
Highly respected Apple expert Mr Munster has confessed that a sum of $12 per phone was "unlikely," but if Nokia did manage to prise such a high figure out of Apple, it "would not change our positive thesis on the iPhone and Apple." He went on to add, that "ultimately, the resolution is uncertain."
The BBC sought further information from Apple, but a spokesman for the technology giant revealed that the company didn't comment on pending litigation.
Nokia have alleged a total of 10 patent infringements, applying to all models from the iPhone range since its 2007 launch. Some of the patents that have been allegedly breeched include wireless data technology, speech coding, encryption and security. Nokia went on to accuse Apple of "trying to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation."

In the Expo Hall, hundreds of companies are showcasing their best ideas. They each attempt to lure interested investors, clients and curious wanderers with a whole variety of goodies. Of course, ad:tech has its fair share of free-candy-and-pen gimmicks, but a few advertisers did what they do every day in their own industry: transforming their booths into complete entertainment venues. Here are a few companies that caught our attention with their eye-popping booth designs.
1. Our favorite might be the full-grown, bearded man dressed as a baby angel, with a lyre in one hand and a cigar in the other. He yells, waves and goes out of his way to entice you into his literal bed of clouds. He's part of Central Desktop, a company that, simply, allows you to centralize your work in the cloud.
2. Next up for the most creative award is eZanga, who decorated their entire booth as a jungle, complete with plastic frogs and overgrown ferns. eZanga specializes in Meta search technology and online advertising, with a focus on ROI.
3. For a mad scientist vibe that screams Dr. Jekyll, Transcontinental Media created laboratory-style vials of cocktails for passersby to pose with and drink. Included were piña coladas, cosmopolitans and other bar favorites. Transcontinental Media are experts in printer, publisher and marketing solutions.
4. AccuData is a direct marketing leader, dispensing data resources, analytics and database marketing technology. They rolled out a full-length beer pong table. And flying pink pigs. (Of course, they were only stuffed animals, but that's still pretty cool in our eyes.)
5. W4 had a lit-up, red curtain display, free trucker hats and a photobooth. They built the W4 Performance Ad Market, which distributes cost-per-action ad campaigns through a network of publishers.
6. Because no tech convention is complete without red-hot models, Global Personals Media (GPM) provided just that. Scantily clad in scarlet dresses, GPM models drew potential clients in to brag about GPM's dozen online dating brands, including Fling.com, Meetlocals.com, and Wealthymen.com.
7. Clickbooth, a CPA and CPC affiliate network that provides partners with full-service management platforms, had a gigantic mascot who tried to dance with every unsuspecting soul who strolled by.
8. Didit had a gypsy idly predicting futures via tarot cards. Didit specializes in complete SEM solutions through bid management and message delivery.
9. Acxiom featured a magician who performed card tricks for a small audience. Acxiom helps businesses target their best customers and dispenses risk-management solutions.

Yup- I am crazy about him, and our nutty ways.
Which is why I made him some cookie nuts. And some cookie squirrels too. Because nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like some squirrels and their nuts. At least it does in my house.
I know that peanuts technically aren't nuts. They're legumes. But I have never seen a sign in the grocery store that says "Legumes, Aisle 4". And besides, they have "nut" in their name. So they're honorary nuts.
A great old pecan tree stood on our college campus. I used to pick up the fallen pecans, crack them open, and eat them on the way to class. Mike used to make fun of me. But they were the best pecans.
It's hard to describe, so check out the pictures.
I hope you're NUTS about someone too :)

In my paintings, I compose disparate images of desire and repulsion in an attempt to politicize obviously nonpolitical things within still life arrangements. Pieces of pie have an element of decadence or political incorrectness and "good" food such as fruit or beautiful objects like flowers all struggle for their positions in the compositions. Meanwhile images such as snakes fall back into roles of both decoration and threat or maybe promises of pain or pleasure. At the same time humans are present or nearby as they interact in various coded ways but only by glimpses of body parts or clothing fragments. I paint all this iconography in an aesthetic atmosphere but restricted space, and color and light become performers as images take on visual pleasure. I also believe the paintings show an emotional climate that is both brooding and ominous. Conflict and opposition are the breeding ground for physical and psychological relationships in these paintings. My intention is to rework or sabotage the tradition of still life painting by bringing worlds of inanimate objects and humans together yet colliding with some sort of collage mentality behind the thinking that threatens their normality and intimacy. At the same time I want the feeling of a composite of images that creates a tableau which suggests that there is more invested meaning, like a subverted morality play, than the eye can perceive. I am more interested in a transformed reality rather than one that is an imitation of the world around us and at the same time being affected by culture, space and light.
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin where I teach drawing and painting. I have had numerous solo exhibitions at Zaks Gallery Chicago, Illinois, and most recently I have shown at Parchman Stremmel Galleries, San Antonio, Texas; Roswell Museum and Art Center, Roswell, New Mexico; and Bill Davis Gallery, Austin, Texas. My work is included in the collections of the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art, Roswell, New, Mexico; Continental Bank, Chicago, Illinois; Kemper Insurance Company, Chicago, Illinois; and Wilson Industries, Houston, Texas.

Did she ever give an explanation for why she changed countries?
Did she ever give an explanation for why she changed countries?
I think she wanted an opportunity to skate at the Olympics and thought she would do better representing the Philppines.
Oh whatever boo hoo for her. She said her career was over on twitter anyway, what on earth does she want to go to Nationals for if that's the case? She's a big whiner, who likes to whine in public. I don't feel bad for her.
She is also no longer on the roster for Coupe de Nice. I think she knew that with those tweets, she was irrevocably burning her bridges with the Phils Fed once and for all.
For me, she deserved this. What she did was pretty immature and quite bitchy given her age and I can't believe she dared to belittle the other competitor. It's not as if there's a huge difference in their scores in competitions. Sure she may be national champ but her scores aren't enough and in here they most likely give her higher scores anyway due to her past credentials.
Between Caluza and Martinez, I'd still pick Martinez. Yes, Caluza is an artist and when he does well it's great but Martinez is not doing bad either. Score differences are also not high between the two. MCM is young but has proven himself to be able to get to where he is now on his own. Sure he trains during school breaks in the US but he lives and goes to school back in PH. He's home grown and will be much more of an inspiring story to tell.
And I don't think our skaters get a lot of support so she shouldn't be complaining they're paying for their own. Our skaters most likely are doing the same. It's only recently that Martinez got support from the mall he skates at here but even the amount isn't big to cover his expenses considering the cost they have to pay for ice time, training, traveling, costumes and others.
Yes, they changed feds to get a shot at a trip to the Oly but when they do that here they have to expect there's going to be more expected of them. The feds most likely expected them to do way better than what they have shown in competitions esp internationally given the credentials they must have shown the feds before transferring. Personally I expected more from Melissa and was very, very disappointed in her performances esp at 4CC last year. I think that was the first major competition she did representing the country. Sure she won bronze at Asian Trophy but it's not enough.
Who cares if she was banned from competing at Nationals? Philippine Nationals means absolutely nothing. The entire point of her career was to represent the Phillipines at the Olympics. Since that federation was so idiotic as to not send her to Nebelhorn so that she could actually qualify a spot for the country at the Olympics, who cares what else they do? They already ruined their OWN opportunity, not to mention hers as well.
I'm extremely glad she spoke her mind, because she is correct and people should know about it. Anyone saying that she is acting "childish" is placing a ridiculous value on acting demure, as if that equals maturity. It doesn't.
You can speak your mind, be correct, and ALSO be childish.
I looked at her twitter so I could be more informed before commenting. I'd say all 3 of the above apply here. She's a loose cannon. That said, the federation is also appearing somewhat childish and putting themselves in a terrible light by banning a skater from competition for twitter comments. IMO this comment was the worst:
26 Aug: "I know how u feel I'm 2 time nat champion & I have 3 more internat medals as the other chick. #skatingblows"
That one was pretty low-class, since she's taking her problems out on "the other chick" (sic) who was chosen. As if it's her fault.
She also went on "ANC Hardball" to speak out against the PhSU. I wonder what all was said on that program.
I absolutely agree that as a rule, free speech (including online) should be protected. I just think in this case, she railed and railed and ran her mouth over and over again on twitter, even disparaging another skater, and at some point you'd have to expect consequences. Maybe she's lacking people in her life who could have given her better advice as to how to approach this situation. Having a prolonged public blowup on Twitter probably wasn't the right move...
You know, the Finnish girl didn't qualify a spot for the Olympics. And Kiira Korpi was gracious and lovely, thanking the other girl for her efforts.
I think this skater is getting everything she deserves. That tantrum was ridiculous! There is no guarantee that she'd have made it, either; and at least the other girl was actually from the Phillippines, rather than someone who realised she wasn't good enough in her own country, and started looking for other "easier" countries..
But I agree with your general statement. Melissa knew she wasn't good enough to make it in the USA, so she switched federations, thinking she would have an easy ride to the Olympics representing the Philippines. When it didn't work out, she threw a temper tantrum on Twitter.
Given her horrible comments about the Philippines federation, she will be lucky if they ever allow her to compete for them internationally again.
It's not often that you see a skater react in such a classless manner to not getting an assignment, including skaters who have had worse disappointments than she did; as others have noted, it's not as though Bulanhagui was a sure shot to qualify that Olympic spot herself.
^ Yep.
There is a lesson to be learned- This skater needs a lesson in Public Relations.
Rule number one: DO NOT tick off your skating federation!!!
We have the right to speak badly about our boss or about our company, it's not illegal so we won't be prosecuted/send to prison for that. However, we can't be so naive to expect that there wouldn't be consequences, e.g. we may get sacked. Freedom of speech does not guarantee you that you can say anywhere whatever you want to and there won't be any consequences at all.
Aw ... I like Melissa a lot, and am sorry that this has happened. I do think she should have been more careful with her comments in the social media, though.
It's worth pointing out that the federation's decision to send Perticheto to the Olympic qualifying was by no means unreasonable. While Bulanhagui had some decent results while representing the US, Perticheto had actually been doing better more recently: I checked, and last season each had one fall event (a JGP for Perticheto, the US Classic for Bulanhagui) and one ISU Championship (Junior Worlds for Perticheto, 4CC for Bulanhagui). Perticheto got better scores. They've each skated in one other event following that: Perticheto was 5th at the Gardena Spring Trophy with a score of 137.05, while Bulanhagui was third at the Asian Trophy with a score of 140.05 - both scores would have been good enough to qualify for the Olympics at the Nebelhorn Trophy. So basically, it's not as though we have one skater who was inferior getting the nod over a vastly superior one; at the time the decision was made, their level appeared to have been pretty similar.

A judge on Wednesday sentenced a Berkeley County man to 16 years in prison followed by five years probation in a child pornography case.
Raymond Cain, 26, was convicted on 20 counts of secoond-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, according to a news release from the S.C. Attorney Generals Office.
Circuit Judge Stephanie McDonald sentenced Cain in Berkeley County General Sessions Court, the release said.
Investigators say in 2010 Cain distributed 67 images of child pornography under the screen name pedoyou.
Most of the photos showed infants and toddlers being raped, according to the release.
Cain told State Law Enforcement Division agents that he was turned on by the photos. When requesting the images, Cain expressed the bloodier the better, the release said.
Attorney General Alan Wilson called the 16-year sentence a significant victory in the fight to protect children from online predators.
Its important to remember that the people depicted in these disturbing images arent actors; theyre real children who are forever scarred by the crimes committed against them, Wilson said. Every time these images are looked at or are forwarded to another person, that child is victimized again. I commend all the law enforcement officers who were involved in finding this abuser of innocent children and putting him behind bars.

|Carmen A. Clark v. Envoy Mortgage, Ltd.et al
"Debtor asserted claims against loan broker/lender for breach of contract, negligence, and violation of the Unfair Trade Practices Act, all based on defendant's failure to close a reverse mortgage loan. Defendant moved for summary judgment on all counts, alleging no material facts in dispute. The court ruled that numerous disputed facts prevented entry of summary judgment. The court also ruled, however, that plaintiff should amend her complaint to cure a number of pleading deficiencies."

|Jeff Baldwin v. Tamara L. Phillips
Creditor sought a determination that debtor's obligations to him were nondischargeable under Sec. 523(a)(5) or (a)(15). The court granted summary judgment on the nondischargeability issue, based on the undisputed fact that the judgments were entered by the state court in connection with the divorce proceeding between creditor and debtor. The court reserved judgment in two discrete areas on the amount of the claim.

|Angela R. Parra
Debtor's ex-husband objected to debtor's chapter 13 plan, arguing inter alia that his claim is a priority claim (domestic support obligation) in an amount sufficient to require denial of plan confirmation. Debtor argued that the claim was a general unsecured claim. Ex-husband filed a motion for summary judgment on the priority issue, attaching a ruling from the state court on the issue. Debtor did not respond. The court held that the state court judgment did not satisfy the requirements of issue or claim preclusion, so the summary judgment motion could not be granted.

The court ruled that it would treat the motion to dismiss as a motion for summary judgment because the response relied upon documents outside of the pleadings. The court gave the defendant additional time to support its position on summary judgment. The court also put the parties on notice that it would consider granting summary judgment on the issue to plaintiff, pursuant to Rule 56(f).

|Collateral Estoppel, Dischargeability, Res Judicata, Summary Judgment
|Charles B. Duff et al v. Richard Ayala et al
Plaintiff moved for summary judgment in its Sec. 523(a)(6) action, based on a prior state court judgment. The Court held that claim preclusion did not apply, but that issue preclusion did apply. The Court then compared the elements of a 523(a)(6) action with the findings of the state court, and determined that issue preclusion left some key facts undetermined. The Court denied summary judgment but limited the facts to be litigated at trial to those that were not determined by the prior state court judgment.

The full report is titled "Screening for Primary Hypertension in Children and Adolescents: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement." It is in the 5 November 2013 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 159, pages 613-619). The author is V.A. Moyer, on behalf of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
This article was published online first at www.annals.org on 7 October 2013.
Summaries for Patients are a service provided by Annals to help patients better understand the complicated and often mystifying language of modern medicine.
Summaries for Patients are presented for informational purposes only. These summaries are not a substitute for advice from your own medical provider.

The summaries may be reproduced for not-for-profit educational purposes only. Any other uses must be approved by the American College of Physicians.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) developed these recommendations. The USPSTF is a group of health experts that reviews published research and makes recommendations about preventive health care.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is common in adults. Hypertension strains the heart and harms blood vessels. It increases the risk for complications, such as heart problems, stroke, kidney problems, and eye problems. Diet, exercise, and medication can decrease blood pressure and the chances of having these complications.
People with hypertension usually do not have symptoms, so they typically do not know that they have it until someone measures their blood pressure or detects a possible complication. Screening for high blood pressure involves routinely measuring blood pressure in people who seem to be well. Normal blood pressure is lower than 140 mm Hg systolic (the first number, which is measured when the heart is pumping) and 90 mm Hg diastolic (the second number, which is measured when the heart is relaxing).
Although hypertension is very common in adults, approximately 1 to 5 out of every 100 children and adolescents also have hypertension. The strongest risk factor for hypertension in children and adolescents is being overweight. Finding and treating hypertension early in young people could lower their risk for complications during adulthood. To help clinicians decide whether to screen, it is necessary to know whether early detection actually improves health outcomes. It is also important to consider the potential harms of starting blood pressure medications and other treatments in young people.
Health care organizations, including the USPSTF, recommend screening for hypertension in adults. In 2003, the USPSTF could not make a recommendation about screening for hypertension in children and adolescents because not enough was known to balance the benefits and harms of screening.
The USPSTF reviewed the research published since its 2003 recommendation to see whether there was now enough information to make a definite recommendation about whether to screen for hypertension in children and adolescents.
The USPSTF found that good information was still lacking about the accuracy of blood pressure screening in children and adolescents, whether screening accurately identifies children and adolescents at high risk for heart disease and other complications of hypertension, and the benefits and harms of treating hypertension in children and adolescents.
The USPSTF concluded that there is not enough information to weigh the balance of benefits and harms of screening for hypertension in all children and adolescents. Until further information becomes available, the doctor and patient should make a decision to screen on the basis of the patient's specific situation, such as whether the child is overweight.
These recommendations apply only to children and adolescents who do not have signs or symptoms of hypertension. If such signs and symptoms are present, blood pressure should be measured.

Elite Division and Course for 2017
The Shamrockin Run 8K elite division will be at the heart of the best post race party in the sport! Once age group athletes complete the Shamrockin Run, the 2017 Elite Cup will begin with a 3-lap certified run course around the northern loop of Audubon Park, with elites running through the post event party on each lap. This will bring the elite experience right to the doorstep of every age grouper in the 2017 field of competitors.
Classic course: this 8K (4.97 miles) course is USATF-certified (certification number LA14003JF). From 1979-1995 this 8K was part of the Crescent City Classic 10K.
The Shamrockin' Run New Orleans 8K will have a wave start system in place to start the 2017 event. Runners will be seeded into groups along Camp Street according to your estimated 8K-finish time. Each group will be staged in a holding corral prior to the start of their group. Inside each corral runners will find, portable restrooms, Gatorade Thirst Quencher and Aquiana Springs Water.
Reminder to Runners: The chip-timing system will not record a starting time for a runner until that runner has crossed the timing mats at the start line. Time spent waiting to cross the start line is NOT included in the scored finish time for a runner.
The start of the Shamrockin' Run New Orleans will take place on Camp Street near the corner of Andrew Higgins Blvd in downtown New Orleans. (Near the National World War II Museum on Camp Street)
This race course is tentative upon completion of construction.
Recognize this 8 kilometers? The answer has to be a resounding yes! This 8 kilometers was once part of what many believe is the fastest and most beautiful road race course in the world. For the first 16 years this 8 kilometers was part of the Crescent City Classic 10K Road Race which during that time broke several 10K world best on this simple, flat stretch of pavement!
Runners will leave from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans and run through the beautiful Garden District and uptown areas of the city before entering Audubon Park at Prytania Street. Once in Audubon Park, athletes will have another 1.2 miles to the finish line as they run past the beautiful homes that circle this majestic park.
To help you get to that green finish line, the Shamrockin' Run New Orleans will have Bag Pipers and Irish Bands at every mile along the 8K race course. Come prepared to party through the most beautiful 4.97 miles in the city of New Orleans!!!
Race Management will have aid and medical stations at every mile along this 8K course complete with Aquiana Springs Water, Gatorade Thirst Quencher and portable restrooms.
The finish line for the Shamrockin' Run New Orleans will be inside Audubon Park on the Audubon Park Trail where Camp Street enters the west side of the park. Athletes will cross the finish line and head to the Band Shell area that runs adjacent to Magazine Street for the best post-event party outside of Ireland.
If your running club is interested in setting up your club tent at the Shamrockin' Runners Village in Audubon Park please contact our office at 504-454-6561 or email Michele Burke at email@example.com to reserve your spot! Spots are limited, so don't delay!
All finishers will receive a 2017 Shamrockin' Run Commemorative Beer Mug and a 2017 5th Anniversary Finisher Medal!
Shuttle Buses returning athletes to the start area will begin leaving Audubon Park at 11:00am and continue until 1:00 pm. Only athletes wearing official Shamrockin' Run New Orleans bib numbers will be allowed to board buses. Please see the bus loading area location on the shuttle bus map below!

Berwick MP Sir Alan Beith has raised a council's decision to scrap free travel for post-16 students in Northumberland with the Prime Minister.
Sir Alan raised the matter during Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons.
He asked: "Is the Prime Minister aware that 16 to 18-year-olds in Northumberland who may live 50 miles from a further education college or 20 miles from a high school are facing charges ranging from £600 a year to several thousand pounds a year to get their education, because the Labour-controlled council has reversed the support given by the previous Liberal Democrat administration?
"Will he deplore that decision and see what central Government can do to promote fair access to education for people in rural areas?"
Responding, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "My right hon. Friend makes an important point. As he knows, responsibility for transport for education and training rests with local authorities.
"Clearly, this local authority, now controlled by Labour, has made this decision. Of course we have introduced the £180 million bursary fund to support the most disadvantaged young people and perhaps that is something that his council and these families could make the most of. I certainly join him in agreeing that this is another example of the fact that Labour costs us more."
Afterwards, Sir Alan commented: "We intend to continue this fight! It is so important that our young people can get to the courses they need to pursue their career ambitions."
The council has decided to withdraw free post-16 travel from September to save £2.4 million.
But Lib Dem campaigner and Berwick candidate Julie Pörksen said: "You only really get one shot at school and college so for the council to sacrifice the opportunities for today's 16-year-olds is unacceptable.
"I believe charging £600 discriminates against students and families living in rural and remote areas. If the Labour Council cannot be trusted to put the best interests of young Northumbrians first then we will have to try and get support for students by changing the law."
Parents are expected to descend on County Hall tomorrow (Friday) to express their anger at the decision.

(Its umbrella and folding chairs have long since rotted and been recycled). And I've got a number of "white" plastic chairs. I quote-mark the white because these chairs have faded and molded and decomposed into various hues, and if you sit on them, your rear is going to come away looking like an elementary school chalkboard in need of erasing.
Why are they in such bad shape? Well, time takes its toll regardless, but the primary reason is because I've left all these items out in the sun and weather since their purchase.
So how is your patio furniture? Have the elements and dog-marking done it in? Is it time to refurnish your backyard?
If so, you only have two things to consider: (1) What you want; and (2) How you will care for it.
If you are cheap and lazy, like me (Did I deny that in last week's home story?), then you should buy accordingly, as in cheap plastic.
Plastic needs very little care and will last you a long time. And it will last you a lot longer if you keep it in the shade and out of the weather. The problem is that plastic patio furniture isn't overly comfortable and certainly isn't going to impress any guests you may have.
The sidebars accompanying this article offer care tips from more enlightened folk than I, and studying them might help you decide on what type of patio furniture you really want. Generally, aside from plastic, you have wood, wicker and metal. And you've usually got pads to go with.
While patio furniture is popping up like spring flowers at stores all over the SCV, the folks at Lowe's on Bouquet Canyon Road in Saugus have an incredible selection of it. Ruben Soliz, the inside garden department manager, discussed some of the items available. He noted that, while you can purchase sets, every item can also be purchased individually. Special orders (such as a different color) can be picked up in seven days.
"Our best seller is the Coconut Grove," Soliz said. These wooden pieces, with green cushions, offer "lower seating and a different style."
Proving Soliz right, I later met Erez Levy of Saugus at the checkout. He was purchasing a Coconut Grove set. "It looks like real wood and it's not too big," he said. He added that this was his first time buying patio furniture and that he intended to make use of it this summer when he had barbecues at his home. (He also said his wife picked it out.)
The Coconut Grove love seat (with pads) and coffee table sells for $400.
Many of the metal-framed chairs at Lowe's featured a stretchy, woven sling in the seat and back. Airy and cool, these are perfect for summer comfort. One example is the Devonshire set, with a round, 48 inch diameter metal table ($270). The matching sling chairs are two for $240.
Other metal chairs were designed to be covered by pads. One example is the Cayo Bay set, with two stationary chairs selling for $396, and two rocking chairs selling for $560. The accompanying aluminum table is $636.
One very interesting set offered at Lowe's is the Retro Collection. This set is a throw-back to the 1950s, and all metal. The small table is only $29 and the low-set chairs are only $35 each.
This set is perfect for a small space.
The wicker sets at Lowe's also employ pads, and offer a very elegant look. One example is the Pensacola set, with a love seat and coffee table for $747. The love seat comes with pads and two toss pillows, and the table has travertine and natural slate in its top.
Umbrellas and more
Lowe's offers a variety of umbrellas and gazebos. For example, the 10 foot by 12 foot steel gazebo sells for $480. And there is also a variety of benches, some with pads and some without. The classic wooden "park bench" style Salem Bench sells for $98.
One fun item is the Three-person Cushion Traditional Swing, at $169. It has a shade cover and can be folded down flat to make a swinging bed.
There is also a good selection of low-priced plastic chairs, some as low as $9.98 each. Soliz said, "The plastic stuff flies out of the store," as many people buy a number of these chairs at a time when they are having a large outdoor gathering.
There is an impressive "wall" of chair and chaise lounge pads at Lowe's. It would appear that just about anything you could want is there — and what isn't you can probably order.
Soliz offered two basic recommendations for care of patio furniture: "Cover it and clean it." And he added that, "Pledge is the best way to clean." He noted that anything left out in the sun and weather will eventually fade or discolor, from the cushions to the metal frames themselves.
The Saugus Lowe's is at 26415 Bouquet Canyon Road. The phone number is (661) 297-1400. There is also the new Lowe's off Golden Valley Road in Canyon Country. You can peruse the selection of patio furniture at www.lowes.com.

Hey, I just purchased two XTI's and have a problem getting different mixes with the monitors.I ran two signals from the amp from AUX 1 and 2 in the board. However I cannot get a separate mix for the two channels. The Amp output ch1 and ch2 want to respond like bass and tweeter and I cannot separate the channels. I have made sure the internal crossover is switched off in the setting I am using. However continues to split the Lo and Hi end.
Any suggestions would be great.
XTI's unable to deactivate crossover

Load Preset 1 "DSP OFF". Try switching inputs 1 and 2 to make sure it's not on the input side. If that doesn't work put the inputs back to their initial state and switch the speakers.

FRB of New York Staff Report No. 466
We describe a set of six design principles for the reorganization of the U.S. housing finance system and apply them to one model for replacing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that has so far received frequent mention but little sustained analysis – the lender cooperative utility. We discuss the pros and cons of such a model and propose a method for organizing participation in a mutual loss pool and an explicit, priced government insurance mechanism. We also discuss how these principles and this model are consistent with preserving the "to-be-announced," or TBA, market – particularly if the fixed-rate mortgage remains a focus of public policy.
