From Berkeley County:
I just wanted to recognize Elaine Mauck for giving her time and how nice of her it was to do this and to let her know how much her students appreciated it. Thank you Elaine!
From Shepherdstown:
In response to the caller from Leetown who said that the Republicans want to keep their women barefoot and pregnant: If this call was made by a man, I feel sorry for you. If it was made by a woman, you should be ashamed of yourself. Now that your phony war against women has been exposed for what it is, what's next for you liberals?
From Berkeley County:
How come the business association is made up of politicians and lawyers? And how many people are actually business people who run a business and have to meet a payroll?
From Martinsburg:
Last week, we set a telescope (a giveaway item) out by the driveway on Old Mill Road. A lady picked it up shortly thereafter, and we mentioned to her that there may be a few missing parts. We found those parts and they're available if the new owner (unknown to us) would like to stop by and get them.
From Hedgesville:
The U.S. Constitution means whatever five justices say it means. They will decide whether you get affordable health care or not. Don't hold your breath!
From Kearneysville:
Isn't that funny how so many Americans trumpet the benefits of freedom? The whole dang country was based on taking freedoms away. First from the natives, and then from the Africans enslaved to work on the white man's farms. Freedom? Right.
From Martinsburg:
If you have any morel mushrooms and would like to sell them, please call me at 304-279-3794.
From Inwood:
To Hedgesville: Nothing other than looking suspicious? If someone punched me in the face and was bashing my head against a concrete sidewalk, I would most certainly blow them away. I believe George Zimmerman didn't react any differently than most other people.
From Bunker Hill:
I would like to thank the Eastern Panhandle Conservation District for the wonderful trees it provided through its tree sale. I had never ordered from it before and didn't know what to expect. I have ordered trees from other places in the past and ended up with tiny seedlings, even though they were supposed to be larger. The trees I received were all good-sized, healthy specimens, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
From South Berkeley:
To all of you "occupiers" out there: According to tax filings, Mr. and Mrs. President are members of the 1 percent club, and yet I see no rallies in front of the White House. I assume with your silence that government greed is OK.
From Inwood:
Kudos to columnist Walter Williams for articulating the truth and tragedy of the Martin/Zimmerman case. The facts have yet to come out in court, and yet there are those who accept the rantings of professional race-baiters like Jackson and Sharpton. If justice is to be served, a decision will be made based on facts, not emotional, race-toned rantings.
From Harpers Ferry:
Kudos to Walter Williams' column on Saturday. He exposed the agendas of the liberal left and its media darlings to a tee. Its continued race-baiting, from those in high office or position, Sharpton, Jackson, on down, is inflicting serious harm to all of the good that has been achieved over the years. Decent folks, black and white, can see the disservice they are doing to this country.
From Martinsburg:
With all due respect to Ann Romney, I have a hard time seeing her rinsing cloth diapers in the toilet (to save money) or not sleeping for days because her kids all got chicken pox at the same time (happened to me with my three). I am sure after a nice night's sleep she would drop by the nursery to check with the nurse to see how the boys fared with their blisters. She could come and go freely - this is NOT the life most moms face. Most, after a rough night, still have to go to work the next day for eight to nine hours - not go to lunch with her friends in her Cadillac!
From Charles Town:
Most of the elements of the president's jobs stimulus package that the Republicans rejected also were approved of by a majority of Americans. A large majority of Americans also supported the Democratic position on contraceptives, including a majority of Catholics. A majority of Americans supported the Dem position during the manufactured debt-ceiling crisis. A majority of Americans supported compromise on the budget, which would include raising some taxes.
From Hedgesville:
If Martin would have shot Zimmerman under the same circumstances, would Martin's family, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson want justice carried out the same?
I'm not saying I agree that what happened is right or wrong.
From Hedgesville:
To Charles Town for the request for canceled stamps: You can send them to Stamp Camp U.S.A., 117 Court St. Suite A, Elkland, PA 16920.
From Jefferson County:
Japan built the longest and highest four-lane bridge in five years. West Virginia has been working on the W.Va. 9 bridge across Shenandoah River for 10 years, and it's still not completed. What's wrong with West Virginia?
From Hampshire County:
The daily tripe against Republicans, the tea party and conservatives is tiresome. During this election season, comments that offer intelligent, informative ideas about both political parties instead of being so blatantly pro-Democrat and anti-Republican/tea party/conservative would much better serve the public.
Web exclusive Journal Junction comments
From Berkeley County:
Why is the state road administrator in Berkeley County not having the signs posted on state rights-of-way removed? It's a state law, and the ones putting them up should be fined.
From Bunker Hill:
How is it that the board on the fire and ambulance authority make the decision to raise rates? What about the taxpayers? We're the ones who have to pay this. They're raising everything but our wages. Something needs to be done about this.
From Berkeley County:
Looks like this Elaine Mauck hit the nail on the head when she says that almost half of us are paying our fire fees and ambulance fees and the other half is getting a free ride. She didn't quite go far enough because it's the same way in the work world, also. Half of us are working and paying for the other half on food stamps and welfare. So definitely, sooner or later, the leeches are going to outdo the workers. We'll be in good shape then, won't we?
From Hedgesville:
I have seen where half the people are paying their ambulance and fire fees. If our other four council people would take a look around, maybe they could find some more. I just don't see how this is possible. If I don't pay mine, they're out here knocking on my door.
From Martinsburg:
We would like to thank Elaine Mauck for having common sense and using it. I never understood the homestead exemption until she took the time to explain it. She has our vote!
From Hedgesville:
We need jobs badly here in the U.S., and Obama says he wants to make jobs, so why did $300 million of stimulus money go to a plant in Michigan to make electric car batteries and it turned out to be owned by a Korean owner who has Korean employees doing hands-on work instead of American employees? This is American money for American jobs. We will never get back on our feet with Obama helping everyone but us.
From Martinsburg:
My very slender 2-year-old has a ton of clothing that is too big in the waist, and I'm hoping someone in Junctionland knows of someone local to Martinsburg/Hedgesville who can do alterations on children's clothing. Thank you for your help!
From Kearneysville:
I, myself, have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
From Charles Town:
Whoever stole my grandson's bike off my porch early Saturday morning, please return it because that's messed up. Stealing an 8-year-old's bike - you have to be a pitiful person to steal from a child.
From Hedgesville:
Why isn't Mitt Romney filing his 2011 taxes? What is he hiding?

MUSKEGON, MI – Dean Allen Dilts Sr. faces trial on charges he held a handcuffed Sullivan Township couple at gunpoint after impersonating a police officer.
Dilts, 47, of Moorland Township, waived his preliminary examination Tuesday in Muskegon County 60th District Court. He was bound over for trial in 14th Circuit Court on one count of first-degree home invasion and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.
First-degree home invasion is normally a 20-year felony, but in Dilts' case conviction could bring up to life in prison with the possibility of parole because he's charged as a fourth-time habitual offender. That's based on a 2004 conviction of manslaughter with a vehicle in Newaygo County, a 1990 conviction of armed robbery in Newaygo County and a 2000 conviction of motor vehicle theft in Muskegon County.
The habitual offender count could also raise his potential maximum sentence for the assault charges from the usual four years up to 15 years.
Dilts remains in the Muskegon County Jail, where he's been lodged since his arrest Sept. 17 in lieu of $500,000 bond.
Police said Dilts arrived around 1:24 a.m. Sept. 16 at the door of a home in the 3000 block of Ensley Road wearing a baseball hat with "POLICE" written on the front.
He allegedly identified himself as a police officer and said he had a search warrant to enter the home. The homeowner let him in, believing he was an actual police officer.
He allegedly asked the homeowner if a man, later identified as Dilts' brother, was there. When the homeowner told Dilts the man wasn't there, Dilts allegedly ordered the homeowner and a woman in the house into the basement.
Dilts then ordered the couple to put handcuffs on and held the two at gunpoint, police said.. At some point, the woman saw an opportunity to run from the downstairs to the main level of the home and locked the door behind her.
Dilts fled, but police arrested him the next day.
According to the Michigan Department of Corrections website, he was discharged from prison Aug. 10 after serving more than eight years for manslaughter with a motor vehicle. He was sentenced in that case in January 2004 following a plea.
Initially charged as open murder, that case stemmed from the 1999 death of 39-year-old Carol Jeanette Smith in the murky waters of the Muskegon River about seven miles north of Grant. Dilts initially told police that Smith was driving and lost control, but later investigation found that to be false.
Other prior convictions include perjury and jail escape, according to the corrections department website.

The following video is from Friday's installment of The Motley Fool's Weekly Tech Review, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Eric Bleeker and Jason Moser look at the biggest stories driving the tech sector this week.
While all the noise in the TV space continues to surround larger names such as an Xbox One or Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) planned TV attempts. Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) has been working in the background to create its own television offering: a set-top box that will deliver programming via broadband connections.
In this segment, Jason and Eric look at the massive amount of difficulties involved in successfully breaking up content in the highly guarded cable-TV industry. While Intel has struck deals for some content from companies such as Viacom, News Corp., and CBS, larger agreements for their networks remains elusive. More so, these companies are reluctant to work with Intel in spite of Reuters reports that Intel is willing to pay subscriber fees that are 50% to 75% of what cable companies are currently paying them.
The end result is that Intel's set-top box is aimed at a more "premium" end of the market, which would be an understandable disappointment for consumers hoping for cheaper "a la carte" offerings of different channels. Eric and Jason discuss the difficulties of trying out new business models in the media space, and how Intel's efforts highlight the difficulties securing content that have led to the continual delay of an Apple TV.

Drivers along State Road 436 near Red Bug Lake Road will encounter a new traffic pattern beginning Thursday.
Officials said a contractor will switch southbound traffic on S.R. 436 to the west and northbound traffic to the east.
The shift will occur between Kewannee Trail and Red Bug Lake Road.
The reason for the shift is so that crews can begin to work on the next phase of bridge construction for the flyover interchange at S.R. 436 and Red Bug Lake Road.

WAILUKU - The National Weather Service continued its high-surf warnings for Maui's north and west shores through 6 a.m. today.
The warning indicates that "dangerous, battering waves will pound the shoreline," according to forecasters.
And waves reportedly reached heights of up to 35 feet on Maui's north shore Wednesday.
Article Photos
A surfer emerges from a tube on a wave as Honolua Bay lived up to its reputation Wednesday as one of the top rides in the surfing world when a strong northwest swell sent set after set of large waves through the west-side break. The National Weather Service continued a high-surf warning for the north- and west-facing shores of Maui and Molokai until 6 a.m. today. The notice is expected to downgrade to a high-surf advisory through 6 a.m. Friday.

Alex Friedmann carries his broken 9-foot-2-inch board up a steep trail Wednesday. "It's my second one that broke today," Friedmann said with a laugh.

Surfer Rudy Law surveys the choppy surf at Paukukalo off Waiehu Beach Road. Onshore winds were causing "pretty junk" conditions, he said, but other surf spots were getting overwhelmed with surfers and spectators. At the famous surf site in Peahi, there were "choke cars at Jaws, hundreds of them," he said.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
No injuries were reported, in or out of the ocean, county emergency officials said. And the high waters and waves hadn't caused any significant damage, erosion or flooding as of Wednesday afternoon.
National Weather Service senior meteorologist Tim Craig said he expected the waves to fall to an advisory level later today. Some northerly waves could still be up to 15 feet, he said.
This week, the big waves were expected to keep sending surfers, fans and nature lovers out to the north shore's hot surfing spots. Loads of cars, many with surfboards on their rooftops, could be seen headed from other parts of the island toward Paia along Hana Highway.
Some north-shore business owners and managers have said it's already a good holiday travel season, and the waves were attracting customers as well.
Surfer Rudy Law was the only one to brave the punishing and chaotic waves as high as 10 feet around noon at Paukukalo off Waiehu Beach Road.
He said he decided to get at least some surfing in there after seeing "choke cars at Jaws, hundreds of them" and lines of cars crawling past Hookipa, trying to get in.
"It's going off at Jaws," Law said of the big wave mecca in Peahi.
Some other folks just sat in their cars or work trucks and stayed out of the mist as they ate plate lunches and watched the water smack Kahului Harbor.
The waves were expected to reach their peak about midday Wednesday, Craig said.
County ocean safety officers reported that waves were 20 to 35 feet at Baldwin, 20 to 25 feet at Hookipa and 12 to 14 feet at Kanaha beach parks, he said. Waves reaching other parts of the island, including to the west and south, were reportedly only a foot high or less, Craig said.
Despite its north-shore location at Paukukalo, Law said the chop there was caused by onshore winds hitting the water and making it "pretty junk, so nobody wants to surf here." But he said he heard there were some great surfing "nuggets," aside from Hookipa and Jaws, here and there around the island.
While the weather forecasters had warned of possible erosion and coastal damage by the wave action, county spokesman Rod Antone and Fire Department spokesman Lee Mainaga said they hadn't heard of any problems caused by the waves.
Civil Defense Agency emergency management officer Anna Foust concurred, but with a caveat.
"Safety is always our number-one concern," she said. "We warn people who have no business being in the water, respectfully, to stay away from the water. You don't want to put yourself or someone else in danger if they have to come in and save you."
It's big surf, Foust said. It's "pretty awesome to see, but you should stay a good distance from it if you do."

Toxins in the Bodies of Newborns Lead to a Contaminated Generation
When a newborn baby takes her first breath she is already contaminated with a range of chemicals... this is the finding in the latest compelling research conducted by several leading authorities in the field of health and wellbeing. Raising awareness of toxic chemicals present in our everyday environment (food additives, personal care products, cleaning products etc.) and having the understanding that these chemicals, in most cases, are absorbed directly into the blood supply is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of our children and future generations. Most shocking from these latest findings is the fact that some of the chemicals found in newborn cord blood were banned decades ago!
McDermott pushes impeachment
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., delivered these remarks on the House floor Tuesday:
Mr. Speaker:
For the last two years I have struggled with the issue of whether the House should consider impeachment of a sitting President.
Next to declaring war, impeachment is the gravest matter the House of Representatives must consider.
I fully understand the gut-wrenching consequences such a national debate could precipitate. Yet, there is one fact we cannot overlook or escape.
American cannot regain its moral leadership in the world if America cannot hold its leaders accountable for their actions at home.
The allegations that would warrant impeachment keep growing.
CNN fabricates reports about Georgia and South Ossetia
Russia Today TV channel journalists, who worked in the city of Tskhinvali, accuse CNN of forgery in the coverage of the conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia, RIA Novosti reports.
"Our crew was making a report about Tskhinvali ruined by the Georgian army. We particularly were filming the University of South Ossetia. We were very surprised and indignant to see this footage on CNN presented as the Georgian town of Gori, which the Russian army supposedly attacked. We still have the original video material of Tskhinvali in ruins. The footage aired by CNN has been forged and fabricated," Baranov said.
CNN also used the footage from the Kodori Gorge of Abkhazia to show it as a report from Gori, the journalist added.
TV journalist Alexander Minakov, who analyzed the coverage of the conflict by the Western media, particularly by US channels, said that Georgia's war in South Ossetia had struck a catastrophic blow on their reputation. US TV channels cast a veil on events in an armed conflict and even fabricated their reports at times, like CNN did.
Ex-CIA Exec Facing Trial Says He'll Expose Agents, Programs
A former top CIA official accused of corruption and fraud is threatening to expose the identities of numerous agents and programs as part of his defense, prosecutors said.
In a court filing, prosecutors allege that former CIA executive director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo is trying to gum up the works of his trial, scheduled for November, by delving into classified information that is irrelevant to his case. Foggo is charged with 28 counts of wire and mail fraud, unlawful money transactions and making false statements.
Prosecutors say Foggo has threatened "to expose the cover of virtually every CIA employee with whom he interacted and to divulge to the world some of our country's most sensitive programs - even though this information has absolutely nothing to do with the charges he faces."
Ten Ways the McCain/Palin GOP Is Now Stealing the Ohio Vote
The McCain/Palin GOP is already in the process of stealing the Ohio vote, as was done in 2004. Among those at the center of the GOP strategy is Bush Family computer operative Michael Connell, who programmed the key vote counting mechanisms that were used to give George W. Bush his second term.
Filmmaker Urges International Tribunal to Probe 9/11
Italian film-maker Giulietto Chiesa, who was in Berlin for a screening of his documentary which questions the official US version of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has called for an international tribunal to probe events.
Federal Aviation Administration controllers, US Air Force pilots, military commanders and physicists also appear in the critical documentary, which the director hopes will create "political awareness" of the "faulty" official investigation into the events by the 9/11 Commission.
"Some of the individuals appearing in the film are former FBI and CIA agents, people who have in a sense taken a very big risk in speaking out. I am very grateful to them because they have done a big job," said Chiesa.
9/11 Myth Huggers: 7 Years of Ignoring the Evidence
There are some clear tell-tale dynamics among the American people that I believe go a long way towards explaining why the American people have not taken to the streets to round up the members of the Bush administration, most notably the Cheney/PNAC cabal, and burn them alive for their roles in the events of 9/11. What I mean by this is that the officially acknowledged body of evidence so convincingly incriminates insiders that I can not imagine the American people taking out their anger on the real culprits.
Think about the rage you felt towards al Qaida and the Taliban when you were told that they were the people responsible for 9/11. Well, just imagine the rage you would feel when you realize that the evidence actual points more directly to a sitting American vice president and his comrades in the Department of Defense and in the Defense Policy Board. I know how I feel and I assume, maybe naively, that I am not alone.
Back to point of this article. Let me point out a few interesting dynamics and personality types that I have observed when it comes to the American people and their attitudes towards the official body of evidence as it pertains to 9/11 culpability.
In WMD Report, U.S. Gets a C
Seven years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the federal government has made only limited progress toward preventing a catastrophic nuclear, biological or chemical attack on U.S. soil and combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction abroad, according to a report card to be issued tomorrow by 22 former U.S. officials.

The very model of a modern Registrar-General
John Grenham
The split personality of the General Register Office continues to cause problems. On the one hand, it provides spectacularly efficient registration of births, death and marriages to the public, and a superb identity verification service to other parts of the public service. On the other, it offers ludicrously inefficient research arrangements for historic civil records.
In the research room, researchers spend weeks struggling with Victorian printed indexes to carry out searches that the staff computer system behind the counter can do in minutes. The frustration of being repeatedly forced to play Blind Man's Buff grows with every visit. It feels like a different planet to the contemporary service.
There are of course genuine obstacles to more open access, not least the legal restrictions. But a line in one of the twice-yearly Social Welfare Acts could remove them instantly: "Section 61 of the 2004 Civil Registration Act is hereby amended…" Even a little willingness to change could make a huge difference. These records are a unique part of our inheritance, and keeping them locked up like this is just plain wrong.
The official attitude is well summed up by a sign at the lift that takes visitors up to the GRO research room: "NOTICE. Due to an unprecedented increase in customers accessing the genealogy services it may be necessary to close the office at times. This is done in the best interest of heatlh [sic] and safety for all who use the facility."
It's those pesky genealogists again. They're everywhere. They just won't go away. They want to buy so much of what we're selling, it's positively unheatlhy. Why won't they just leave us alone?

"I think it's so important for us to take some time and be unselfish and have compassion, because we really can impact the world," the singer, 31, told Novak about the organization and its lifesaving work.
The Kid President also asked Beyoncé what she thinks the world needs more of. "Well, I think the world needs more strong empowered men and women," she said. "So, I'd say I think the world needs more strength."
Novak then thanked the superstar for her time and asked: "Are we best friends?"
Her reply? "Only if I get a kiss on my cheek. Come on, Kid President!"

(Associated Press Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Boeing engineers use spuds to improve in-air Wi-FiCHICAGO (AP) _ If the wireless Internet connection during your holiday flight seems more reliable than it used to, you could have the humble potato to thank. While major airlines offer in-flight Wi-Fi on many flights, the signal strength can be spotty. Airlines and aircraft makers have been striving to improve this with the growing use of wireless devices and the number of people who don't want to be disconnected, even 35,000 feet up.
Click, print, shoot: Downloadable guns possibleSAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Downloading a gun design to your computer, building it with a three-dimensional printer that uses plastics and other materials, and firing it minutes later. No background checks, no questions asked. Sound far-fetched It's not. And that is disquieting for gun control advocates.
Facebook tests $1 fee for messages to non-friendsSAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Facebook says it is testing a service that will charge users $1 to guarantee that messages they send to people they are not connected to arrive in users' inboxes, rather than in an often-ignored folder called "other." Launched in 2011, the "other" folder is where Facebook routes messages it deems less relevant. Not quite spam, these include messages from people you most likely don't know, based on Facebook's reading of your social connections. Many users ignore this folder.
Investors shed shares of Blackberry makerNEW YORK (AP) _ Shares of Blackberry maker Research in Motion slumped more than 16 percent Friday with future revenue coming into question and a declining number of subscribers. RIM's stock jumped initially Thursday when the Canadian company released better-than-expected third-quarter results and a stronger cash position.
Instagram reverts to prior policy on adsSAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Instagram has abandoned wording in its new terms-of-service agreement that sparked outcry from users concerned it meant their photos could appear in advertisements. In a blog post late Thursday, the popular mobile photo-sharing service says it has reverted to language in the advertising section of its terms of service that appeared when it was launched in October 2010.
Nokia, RIM settle old disputes in new patent pactHELSINKI (AP) _ Nokia Corp. and Canadian smartphone rival Research In Motion have agreed on a new patent licensing pact which will end all existing litigation between the two struggling companies, the Finnish firm said Friday. The agreement includes a "one-time payment and on-going payments, all from RIM to Nokia," Nokia said, but did not disclose "confidential" terms.
Violence baked into popular cultureNEW YORK (AP) _ Well aware that the television audience may be particularly sensitive, the Showtime network aired a disclaimer warning audiences of violent content in the season finales of its dramas "Homeland" and "Dexter" last weekend. It was two days after a gunman killed 26 people in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. The political thriller "Homeland" that night featured the burial of a bullet-ridden body at sea and a car bomb that killed scores of people. "Dexter," about a serial killer, had a couple of murders.
Oracle buying software co. Eloqua for about $811MREDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (AP) _ Business-software maker Oracle is adding to its cloud-computing capabilities with an $810.8 million purchase of software maker Eloqua. Oracle said Thursday that buying Eloqua will bolster its "cloud" technology for helping companies make decisions on their marketing, sales and customer support. Cloud computing refers to the concept of making software available for anyone with an Internet-connected device, rather than installing it on company computers.
Spain fines top 3 telecoms companies $159 millionMADRID (AP) _ Spain's National Competition Commission has fined top telecommunications operators Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange a total of (EURO)120 million ($159 million) for abusing their dominant position and charging excessively high prices for texts and multimedia messages. The commission said Thursday that between 2000 and 20009 the three companies exploited the absence of regulation to maintain artificially high wholesale prices for operators without their own networks. It said this led to higher retail prices for short messages and created barriers for companies wishing to enter or expand in the market.
EU: Samsung may have violated antitrust rulesBRUSSELS (AP) _ The European Union's executive arm, the Commission, has informed Samsung of its preliminary view that the company's seeking of injunctions against Apple for allegedly infringing "standard-essential" patents in the EU amounts to an abuse of a dominant position. According to industry agreements, companies owning the rights to essential phone technology must usually license it to competitors on what are called fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms.

Hall, 38, said in a statement he is lucky to have been diagnosed with the "treatable and curable condition" – Hodgkin's lymphoma – and thanked his Los Angeles-area medical team for their skill in caring for him.
His spokesman, Craig Bankey, said Hall's cancer is in remission but the actor will continue scheduled treatments.
Hall plans to go with his wife – and Dexter costar – Jennifer Carpenter to Sunday's Golden Globes, where he's nominated for best dramatic actor and the show as best drama. He also plans to attend the Screen Actors Guild Awards the following Saturday, where Hall and the cast are also nominated.

One killed, 75 injured as five grenades are fired targeting pro-govt group; reds insist they're not responsible; 5 of 6 suspects apprehended are released
Five grenades were fired from M-79 launchers at BTS Saladaeng station and nearby areas last night from unknown launch sites, killing a Thai woman and injuring 75 others including three foreigners, officials said. Ten are
in serious condition.
However, Deputy Premier Suthep Thaugsuban reported three deaths from yesterday's attacks.
Whether the attacks in the heart of Bangkok will deter the anti-red movement, the so-called multicoloured demonstrators, who are planning their biggest rally at the Royal Plaza today remains to be seen. But the Abhisit government was dealt another major blow less than two weeks after the April 10 bloodshed.
All five grenades apparently targeted Silom residents and vendors who had gathered under the BTS station to confront the red-shirt protesters camping across the street behind fences made of bamboo.
Tension rose early in the evening as the multicoloured protesters chanted taunts and yelled at the red shirts to "get out" of their Rajprasong rally site. Unlike Wednesday night when they countered the taunts and traded projectiles with the multicoloured protesters, the red shirts were restrained yesterday, staying behind their barricades.
In a television interview, Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd, of the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situations, confirmed that all five grenades were fired from M-79 launchers.
The spokesman said later in an interview with Thai PBS that the first three rounds landed on the BTS Skytrain station, the fourth on the skywalk under the station, and the fifth in front of the Bank of Ayudhya branch.
He said dispersal of the red shirts during night time was not possible.
Sansern said the grenades were not fired from high positions but possibly from Lumpini Park or from a red-shirt stage close to the Saladaeng intersection.
He added that soldiers were not holding their rifles in high positions but were standing on guard and trying to locate the launch sites.
Soldiers apprehended six men suspected of being involved in the attack, including one inactive military officer. The suspects were taken to Thung Maha Mek police station. They were found inside Robinson Silom building.
After being photographed and questioned by police, five of them were released. One will be handed over to the military for further questioning. A later report said all the six men were civilians.
The first attack took place at around 8pm. Two more explosions were heard at around 9.30 pm and 9.45pm, according to a Thai PBS report, but there were no media reports or official confirmation.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva called an emergency meeting of security officials.
Suthep said in a television address that the launch site was located behind the statues of King Rama VI to the south of Lumpini Park. He called on Silom residents to stay beyond the 400-metre effective range of the M-79 grenade launchers.
Suthep did not mention the Robinson arrests, which would have explained how the suspects were allegedly involved in the attacks.
When police made an effort to push back the Silom residents, they were scolded by the angry mob and took hails of missiles from them when they refused to retreat. The group earlier threw stones at city administration trucks, which beamed the spotlight at them, driving them back after breaking some lights.
Citing intelligence reports, Abhisit said in the evening before the attacks that the armed men in black, who had blended in with the red shirts during the April 10 violent clashes, were now dressed in white, and that it was not easy to separate women and children among the demonstrators in case crowd dispersal was needed. At around 9.40pm, repeated loud bangs were heard among red shirts prompting a hurray from Silom residents. It turned out later that the red shirts had lit firecrackers to celebrate the attacks on the Silom residents.
The BTS Skytrain service was closed from Siam, Rajdamri, and Saladaeng stations, while the MRT underground train shut its service from Khlong Toei to Hua Lamphong stations.
About 30 people have been injured in clashes and the throwing of objects between the two groups in the three days since the confrontations began on Monday.
Of the injured, 20 are receiving treatment at Chulalongkorn Hospital, three of whom are in a serious conditions; another 18 are at Lertsin Hospital, two of them serious, while 31 have been admitted to Bangkok Christian Hospital, five of them seriously. The remaining have been admitted to Phra Mongkutklao, BNH, Saint Louis and the Police General Hospitals.
Natthanan Kaengmai, 47, a Silom resident, said she suffered a head injury during the first three attacks. She suddenly felt blood flowing and called her son to take her to a hospital.

Our View: Thumbs down for City Clerk's consulting gig
Double dipping: Longtime Erie City Clerk Jim Klemm left his position on a high note. He was praised for his 48 years of service and had earned respect for his deep knowledge of ordinances and other City Hall business.
Now Erie City Council, led by Councilman Jim Winarski, has voted 4-3 to bring Klemm back as a $1,000-per-month "archivist" for two years to help with zoning issues, legal ads and possibly to help digitize old city records. Klemm's sweet deal is on top of his $69,732 annual pension. Erie Times-News reporter Kevin Flowers filed a Right-to-Know request for Klemm's pension payout information.
"It's tough to replace the knowledge and experience he has," Winarski said.
But Rose Robie, an internal candidate and Klemm's former deputy, was hired to succeed Klemm. Institutional knowledge is important, and that's why organizations, including government, make plans to train new employees when they are hired, and veteran workers before they are promoted.
Winaski, Mel Witherspoon, Curtis Jones Jr. and Jessica Horan-Kunco voted to contract with Klemm. Bob Merski, David Brennan and Cas Kwitowski did the right thing Wednesday night by voting no.
What a combo: Outdoor enthusiasts, including hunters and anglers, will talk about educating kids about climate change at a round-table discussion Friday at 6 p.m. at the Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier Park's education building, 1501 W. Sixth St.
The free discussion features speakers from Asbury Woods Nature Center, the National Wildlife Federation and the S.O.N.S of Lake Erie. The idea is to teach youngsters that global warming will drastically affect outdoor activities. Summer temperatures will routinely spike to 90 or 100 degrees in the future, according to Ed Perry, global warming outreach coordinator for the National Wildlife Federation. "How will our natural systems cope with this changed climate?" he asked. The first 50 people will be treated to free sundaes from Connie's Ice Cream.
Give Erie a sporting chance: Erie is in the running to be selected as the Best Natural Sports Destination in the Country by SportsEvents Magazine, according to Ron Sertz, executive director of the Erie Sports Commission.
We always like it when our community is put in a favorable light, and Erie fans are rabid when it comes to voting in online contests. You can vote at http://bit.ly/1ogFjJ4; you will have to "like" SportsEvent Magazine on Facebook. You can also visit the Erie Sports Commission's Facebook page for the link. Voting continues through Tuesday.

In Reply: Dr Franz notes that our finding of
8 patients with meningiomas among patients with LAM is not remarkable because
it is not much greater than the rate of 1.4% found at autopsy. Because the
incidence of meningiomas increases with age,1
comparison with an autopsy series is not valid. In fact, in 1000 healthy volunteers
similar in age to our population and studied with MRI, none was found to have
a meningioma, consistent with an age-dependent increase in incidence.2 As an update, since publication of our article
a ninth patient in the series of 250 has been diagnosed as having meningioma.
We stand by our original conclusions that the incidence of meningiomas in
LAM is much greater than expected.

This blog has largely avoided two burning subjects this week: the flip flops in the White House controversy and the anniversary of the Scopes trial — despite the obvious signal I got from the Universe, the ribbon magnet on the back of a car I saw that was in the shape of a Christian car fish, but said "God Bless Our Troops." Fortunately, this twee soul knits together proper dress and the Scopes anniversary beautifully. By the way, don't forget that in the 1960 version of Inherit the Wind, based on the Scopes trial, Dick York (before his fine work as the first Darrin) played the teacher.
By the way, if you must have a magnetic ribbon on your car, for breast cancer or autism or cystic fibrosis or whatever, please affix it up and down, not sideways. See, the ribbon ends give the illusion of dangling, but if they're sideways, they can't.
Thank you.

Oh well them DIET I choose healthy living instead.
Good Lord:
U.S. News and World Report rates the best diets of 2012 - latimes.com
[facepalm]That diet plan also took top ranking as the best diet for healthy eating and the best diabetes diet (tied with the Biggest Loser diet). The DASH diet (it stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) may also help lower cholesterol, as it's big on whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins -- not a bad program for a number of people.
Vegan from 1993 until Oct 16, 2010. "D'oh!!"
Oh well them DIET I choose healthy living instead.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
About Me | Journal: "Grok: Deployed"
"Doctrine is the last refuge of the unimaginative." - General James Mattis
Love those red socks.
If I ate the foods in the sample menu I found on the web for the DASH diet, I'd be huge and so puffed up I'd float away. Also, no one could stand to be near me, if you know what I mean.
LOL, I heard that and Weight Watchers is popular too.... yeah.... I love the WW advocates. It may work for some, but most people use their points to eat crap, lose 20 lbs. Stop WW. Gain 30 back.... then go back on WW because it "works".... again and again!
I saw Dr. Oz giving his New Year opinion on diets, and he also recommended Weight Watchers. Coincidentally, he is also a paid spokesperson for Weight Watchers. Therefore, he has no credibility whatsoever.
I love how all the diets listed above Paleo endorse the eating of processed, frankenfood! Jenny Craig, South Beach, Slim Fast, Medifast, WW...all have their line of crap fake food. The article says "A true Paleo diet might be a great option: very lean, pure meats, lots of wild plants," said one expert—quickly adding, however, that duplicating such a regimen in modern times would be difficult."
What does that say about us? We are pushing fake food onto people instead of putting the REAL food options out there and having them be more affordable. How do you argue against eating real food? Lets face it, the DASH diet is probably only popular this year bc it sounds like Kardashians.
You can't waste your time being surprised and angry when the media releases drivel like that without looking at the root cause of the special interest groups supporting Monsanto and other such unhealthy megacongolmerates. Yes, the media will be shilling whatever's most prevalent. It's always what they do. Who cares? It's just marketing trickling down from the fact that the giant companies are able to make such a huge profit margin shilling that crap. More food cheaper, with government subsidies to boot, with no incentive to be nutritious.
My mom used to work for Jenny Craig- I always thought it was odd because she is overweight. Apparently a lot of the people who work there are overweight and don't actually do the diet. Slim Fast works to get weight off, but you gain it right back (it works for the people making money off of it really well!), same with Weight Watchers. South Beach is not bad- at least he doesn't advocate sugar and white flour and is OK about fat.Jenny Craig, South Beach, Slim Fast, Medifast, WW
LOL, I still remember that Susan Powder lady- with the buzz cut and psychotic personality encouraging eating huge piles of spaghetti.
And... I'm not so sure about the Biggest Loser. Those people bust butt working out on that show. I don't think you can duplicate that success on your own unless you are some kind of a personal drill sargeant (in which case you would not end up weighing 300lbs. in the first place). And a lot of those people fail anyway.

Update: Ex-wife of Matthew Speese, shot and killed by officer, says he had psychological issues since 'Desert Storm'
MONTCALM COUNTY -- An armed 47-year-old Howard City man, shot and killed by an officer Wednesday evening, had some type of conversation with police before he was shot.
State police Lt. Andrea Nerbonne this morning said someone called 911 at about 5:30 p.m. and asked police to check on the well-being of Matthew Speese at his home.
Nerbonne said troopers who went to the home were confronted by a subject with a gun.
"After a period of time, Mr. Speese was shot and killed," she said.
She said that in the minutes before the 7:21 p.m. shooting, officers "were able to speak with Mr. Speese for a period of time."
Nerbonne did not release the nature of the conversation or the name or affiliation of the officer who fired the shot.
Details surrounding the initial 911 call, asking police to check on Speese's well-being, also were not released.
No other people were at Speese's home when the shooting happened, although Speese reportedly has two children.
An autopsy is planned for today on Speese in Grand Rapids.
During a press conference this morning, Nerbonne released few details about what led up to the shooting, saying the case was an open investigation.

Edward SunShared publicly -
This story starts last fall. A very early morning last September, after a whole night of climbing, looking at the sunrise on top of Africa - Mt Kilimanjaro. Tamar (my wife) and I were not only enjoying the summit, but on such a clear day, we could see in the distance, the vast plain of the Serengeti at our feet, and with it the calling of all the potential adventures Africa has to offer. (see exhibit #1 - Tamar and I on Kili).
And Tamar out of the blue said "Hey, why don't we just keep on going". Let's explore Africa, and then turn east to make our way to India, it's just next door, and we're here already. Then, we keep going; the Himalayas, Everest, go to Bali, the Great Barrier Reef... Antarctica, let's go see Antarctica!?" Little did she know, she was tempting fate.
I remember telling Tamar a typical prudent CFO type response- I would love to keep going, but we have to go back. It's not time yet, There is still so much to do at Google, with my career, so many people counting on me/us - Boards, Non Profits, etc
But then she asked the killer question: So when is it going to be time? Our time? My time? The questions just hung there in the cold morning African air.
A few weeks later, I was happy back at work, but could not shake away THE question: When is it time for us to just keep going? And so began a reflection on my/our life. Through numerous hours of cycling last fall (my introvert happy place) I concluded on a few simple and self-evident truths:
First, The kids are gone. Two are in college, one graduated and in a start-up in Africa. Beautiful young adults we are very proud of. Tamar honestly deserves most of the credit here. She has done a marvelous job. Simply marvelous. But the reality is that for Tamar and I, there will be no more Cheerios encrusted minivan, night watch because of ear infections, ice hockey rinks at 6:00am. Nobody is waiting for us/needing us.
Second, I am completing this summer 25-30 years of nearly non-stop work (depending on how you wish to cut the data). And being member of FWIO, the noble Fraternity of Worldwide Insecure Over-achievers, it has been a whirlwind of truly amazing experiences. But as I count it now, it has also been a frenetic pace for about 1500 weeks now. Always on - even when I was not supposed to be. Especially when I was not supposed to be. And am guilty as charged - I love my job (still do), my colleagues, my friends, the opportunities to lead and change the world.
Third, this summer, Tamar and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. When our kids are asked by their friends about the success of the longevity of our marriage, they simply joke that Tamar and I have spent so little time together that "it's really too early to tell" if our marriage will in fact succeed.
If they could only know how many great memories we already have together. How many will you say? How long do you have? But one thing is for sure, I want more. And she deserves more. Lots more.
Allow me to spare you the rest of the truths. But the short answer is simply that I could not find a good argument to tell Tamar we should wait any longer for us to grab our backpacks and hit the road - celebrate our last 25 years together by turning the page and enjoy a perfectly fine mid life crisis full of bliss and beauty, and leave the door open to serendipity for our next leadership opportunities, once our long list of travels and adventures is exhausted.
Working at Google is a privilege, nothing less. I have worked with the best of the best, and know that I am leaving Google in great hands. I have made so many friends at Google it's not funny. Larry, Sergey, Eric, thank you for friendship. I am forever grateful for letting me be me, for your trust, your warmth, your support, and for so much laughter through good and not so good times.
To be clear, I am still here. I wish to transition over the coming months but only after we have found a new Googley CFO and help him/her through an orderly transition, which will take some time.
In the end, life is wonderful, but nonetheless a series of trade offs, especially between business/professional endeavours and family/community. And thankfully, I feel I'm at a point in my life where I no longer have to have to make such tough choices anymore. And for that I am truly grateful. Carpe Diem.

Turok Review
Turok isn't an awful game, it's just an unbelievably frustrating one. It's definitely better than Evolution, but as reinventions go we wanted a whole lot more.
As far as aging franchises go, Turok is right up there. Having started out on the Nintendo 64, Turok's early games proved to be popular with critics and gamers, in no small part for the then rather spectacular graphics. But things went wrong. After Turok 2 the games seemed to get progressively worse, with the last game, Turok Evolution, pretty much nailing the coffin shut. It was Touchstone who saw the series still had potential, grabbing the licence and setting Propaganda Games to work on a new Unreal Engine 3 powered FPS. While certainly better than Evolution, Turok's latest dinosaur hunting adventure still leaves a lot to be desired.
You once again play as Turok, a Native American who happens to be part of an elite squad of soldiers. Your space ship crash lands on a jungle-like planet and from then on it's time to blast some dinosaurs. In between all the shooting you'll get some flashbacks to events from Turok's training and a previous mission that resulted in a death of a soldier - something Turok is blamed for. It's all action movie macho stuff, but serves its purpose.
So what follows is a by the numbers FPS, with you fighting against human soldiers and a load of rampaging dinosaurs. The key point is that these dinosaurs have no alliegence - they're just trying to survive - so they'll attack everyone. You can be fighting some soldiers, only to disturb a nest and all hell will break loose, with the prehistoric beasts ripping friends and foes to bits (not that you see that level of gore). This is a neat idea and one that on occasion does impress, but it's sadly encased in a game so annoyingly designed that any good points are soon washed away beneath a sea of problems.
Let's take a look at the controls first. Turok plays like any other FPS, so that's fine. The problem comes from the number of fast moving dinos and the frequently large groups of soldiers. Without any aiming assist and some very twitchy analogue stick controls it takes an awfully long time to get to grips with things. Even after a number of hours you'll still struggle to take down the fast moving beasts, and the long grass doesn't do you any favours either - despite it looking rather nice. A little more assistance in the targeting would have been great, even if it was limited to attacking dinosaurs.
As with most modern action games, a health bar is nowhere to be seen, with the game instead doing the usual trick of making the screen turn red. Again, that's fine, but what isn't fine is the insane amount of blur applied to the screen as you near your end. It's hard enough having to fend off a pack of dinos and some ridiculously powerful and accurate soldiers, and making you blind doesn't help. You can of course run for cover (although your movement speed is far too slow) to recover your health, but you'll rarely make it if you're surrounded. It's as if developer Propaganda Games wanted to intentionally damage its own game.
And there's more. Turok is more than a little nifty with his knife, so he can kill most small to medium dinosaurs with instant kills. You'll find that this move comes in incredibly handy as it saves you from spinning around wildly trying to target dinos with your guns, but it too is severely flawed. You can only perform these instant kills when the on-screen button command appears, but it seems to appear when you don't expect it to and once you've started a knife attack the animation has to play out before you can attempt another. So, while you're stood there knifing thin-air, the bloodthirsty dinos can feast on your flesh. When you are taken down by a dinosaur you're presented with a button mashing event to save your life and, although they do grate after a while, these manage to convey the feeling of a struggle very well indeed.
Being knocked down is something few games actually do, especially first-person shooters, and it feels good at first. If a dino rams you or a grenade explodes near you, you're going over. Viewed from a first-person perspective it's incredibly immersive and at first a great feature. But at times it's the most annoying feature in the game. One fight later in the game sees you go up against a walking tank (essentially a smaller version of Halo's Scarabs) that repeatedly fires at you, knocking you down. Its fire rate is such that by the time you've scrambled to your feet it's fired another round at you, and you're on your arse again. Repeat this until you manage to edge out of range and you can imagine the frustration. It works as it should, disorienting you, but it doesn't work as a gameplay mechanic.

One of the points Bill Schutt makes in his book Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures is that there is much we don't know about sanguivores, or creatures that feed on blood. They are small and rare, shrouded in misconceptions, but also remarkable in the beauty of their evolutions. Schutt, a bat biologist, proves to be an ideal guide in demystifying lives of sanguivores and explaining their impact on our lives.
Beginning with vampire bats, Schutt explores the world of sanguivores, which also includes leeches, ticks, chiggers, bed bugs, and candiru. Among the many things I learned from reading Dark Banquet are that there are three species of vampire bats, the leech Hirudo medicinalis actually received FDA approval as a medical device (not to mention probably much more than I ever wanted to know about the historical uses of leeches), and there is a species of candiru known as Vendellia wieneri. More seriously, these sanguivores evolved for a reason. In describing how each feeds, reproduces, and interacts with their ecosystem, Schutt also explains why they are so important. Many people think the various sanguivores are scary and/or dangerous, but Schutt elucidates why this should not be the case.
Schutt does assume some degree of scientific literacy among readers. Not as much as I thought, say, Carl Zimmer's Microcosm requires, but definitely more than something like Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. (Which is not a knock on Bryson, since I enjoyed his book.) While passionate about his subject, Schutt does not take himself too seriously, writing with ease and humor. (Schutt also uses parenthetical asides even more often than I do, she adds parenthetically.) The illustrations by Patricia Wynne illuminate Schutt's text as well as often providing additional humor.
Dark Banquet has a mostly a North American and European focus, but then, the narrative begins with a discussion of vampire bats, which are only found in Mexico, Central America, South America, and two Caribbean islands. Still, I can't help but wish there was more information about medicine and beliefs about blood in other parts of the world, particularly in Part Two, which takes a closer look at blood itself.
Overall, though, this is a sometimes disgusting (okay, so this is a personal judgment coming from someone who admittedly doesn't like the sight of blood, but how else to describe some parts, like p. 163?), always fascinating glimpse at a few species who don't receive the appreciation Schutt demonstrates they deserve.
If any of this sounds interesting, in addition to reading Dark Banquet, I highly recommend visiting Schutt's website. There you'll find basic information about and color pictures of the creatures described in the book, as well as extras, including a section on blood recipes. Bon appétit.

Police accuse woman of lighting crack pipe
WARREN - A 39-year-old Niles woman was being held in jail without bond Friday pending an April 3 preliminary hearing after police and U.S. Marshals said she lit a crack pipe while authorities tried to get her out of a vehicle.
Officers and marshals went to an Austin Avenue N.W. address to serve a warrant and found Robin O'Brien seated in a 2001 Ford pickup in the driveway of the home, a police report states.
Police repeatedly ordered O'Brien out of the truck. Instead, she turned a cigarette pack upside down, allowing a rock of crack and a glass pipe to fall out. She loaded the pipe and was lighting it when an officer knocked out the window and pulled O'Brien out of the vehicle, the report states.
After the woman started banging her head against the hood of the truck, she was taken to the ground, police said.
O'Brien, of 422 West Third St., Niles, faces charges of possession of cocaine and heroin, tampering with evidence, drug abuse instruments, obstructing official business and vehicle trespass.
Woman asking for ride gets held up instead
WARREN - A 28-year-old Lamphier Place N.E. woman told police she only wanted a ride from a man she knew. Instead, she was robbed late Thursday.
Police said Vanessa White was walking west on Youngstown Road S.E. about 11:40 p.m. when she was picked up near the intersection with Kenilworth Avenue S.E. She promised the man some money for gas.
The man drove a couple blocks before pulling a knife on White, telling her to get out of the vehicle near the Warren Water Department on Laird Avenue S.E., according to the police report.
Another man in the back seat of the car grabbed $36 out of White's purse and pushed her out of the green Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Firefighters come to aid of hikers
Firefighters hiked a trail at Iao Valley State Park to help a group of hikers, including a 19-year-old man who was injured when he fell off a trail Thursday evening, a fire official said.
Fire crews from Wailuku and Kahului responded to the 6:34 p.m. alarm reporting that the hiker who fell was believed to have broken his leg, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
He said five young adults were hiking along the upper ridge trail about two miles above the marked pathway when the hiker fell. Crews reached the hikers and escorted them to safety, Mainaga said.
He said medics treated the injured man, a Texas native, for injuries to his left leg and head. The man refused to be transported to the hospital by ambulance and was released, Mainaga said.
Napili man arrested for pawning art
A Napili man was arrested Thursday after an investigation showed that he had pawned two whale sculptures that were reported missing from a Kihei condominium unit while he was resident manager of the complex, police said.
Keith Romero, 49, was charged with first-degree burglary, three counts of second-degree theft and two counts of fourth-degree theft. He was released after posting $8,200 bail.
Police said Romero was resident manager at Kihei Beach Condominiums from May to December, when the sculptures were taken from the unit. Also during that period, he pawned tools that had been bought and charged to the company, police said.
The value of the stolen property was $8,950, police said.
An all-points bulletin had been issued for Romero, who turned himself in, police said.

Ruling limits president's recess appointments
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the president's power to fill high-level administration posts with temporary appointments, ruling in favor of Senate Republicans in their partisan obstruction of President Barack Obama's appointments.
But the justices stopped short of a more sweeping decision that would have effectively ended a president's power to make recess appointments when the Senate takes a break.
It was the high court's first case involving the Constitution's recess appointments clause, ending with a unanimous decision that Obama's appointments to the National Labor Relations Board in 2012 without Senate confirmation were illegal.
Obama had argued that the Senate created an extended holiday break and that the brief sessions it held every three days -- what lawmakers call "pro forma" -- were a sham intended to prevent him from filling seats on the NLRB.
Rejecting that argument, Justice Stephen Breyer said in his majority opinion that the Senate is not in recess if lawmakers actually say they are in session and retain the power to conduct business.
Breyer said a congressional break has to last at least 10 days to be considered a recess under the Constitution.
