Erie County worker theft case heads to trial
Computer records showed that $1,075 worth of cash receipts were voided at Denise Filutze's Erie County government computer work station at a time when someone was logged onto the bookkeeping system with her username and password.
The money was not returned to the customers who paid cash for photocopies of property records at the Erie County Recorder of Deeds Division. Instead, an Erie County detective said, it was stolen.
The problem with laying the blame on Filutze, her lawyer, David Agresti, argued in her preliminary hearing Tuesday, is that no one can say Filutze was at her desk when those transactions occurred. At least two others in the Erie County Recorder of Deeds Division had access to Filutze's computer login information and knew how to navigate the bookkeeping software, he said.
Agresti argued a misdemeanor count of theft by unlawful taking should be dismissed against Filutze, 38, who was fired from her $24,667-a-year job as bookkeeper on Aug. 20 and charged by the Erie County District Attorney's Office in November.
"I am trying to connect the dots here," Agresti said to a prosecution witness. "But I can't."
Assistant District Attorney Justin Panighetti said the circumstantial evidence pointed to Filutze. Other people were in the office when the transactions took place, but Filutze was the only employee who was working on every one of the 27 days cash disappeared, he said.
Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie agreed there was enough circumstantial evidence to bind over to trial one count of theft against Filutze.
"Beyond that, it is a matter for the jury," Robie said.
Panighetti declined to comment after the hearing.
Agresti said the evidence against Filutze is not sufficient.
"This is a classic case where too many people had access to a computer," he said.
Filutze's supervisor, David Bradford, said the probe of the voided cash receipts started in August with a request from Erie County Deputy Controller William Amick, who wanted to know how photocopy fees were recorded in the Recorder of Deeds Division.
Bradford said as he gathered the information for Amick, he noticed an unusually large number of voided cash receipts in the records. There were 27 between February 2011 and August 2012. He said Filutze had been working as the office bookkeeper since October 2010.
Bradford said receipts typically were not voided in cash transactions. More often, a transaction had to be voided because someone put an incorrect amount on a check, he said.
He said further research showed the transactions occurred at Filutze's computer work station. Whoever voided the receipts also used Filutze's computer username and password, he said.
Bradford said computer records he obtained "showed most of the voids were done at a time when Denise Filutze would have been doing bookkeeping as part of her job duties," Bradford said.
There were other people in the office at the time the voids occurred, he said. But attendance records showed that Filutze was the only employee who was working on every day the voided transactions occurred. He said the office employs eight to 10 people, including himself.
Bradford acknowledged under cross-examination by Agresti that he had never seen Filutze at her station at the time of the questionable voids. He also said others would sometimes use her computer. He said he and a woman he called the "backup bookkeeper" both had access to Filutze's username and password so they could do office bookkeeping when she was off.
Deputy Chief County Detective Anthony Bozich testified he reached out to those who, according to the records, had received cash refunds as a result of the voided transaction. None of those people had received refunds, he said.

TWO amateur treasure hunters who sold bronze age artefacts found on a mountainside to buy a stereo system have stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological finds in history, writes Allan Hall in Berlin.
Experts say they are certain the haul, which included a circular disc depicting the heavens with sun, moon and stars, is at least 3,600 years old.
This shows Europeans had a rudimentary knowledge of the solar system and its influence on our lives far earlier than previously thought. Harald Meller, an archaeologist, said: "This ranks as one of the 20 most important finds of all time, up there with the tomb of Tutankhamun and the discovery of Otzi the iceman in the Alps.
"The find gives us a whole new puzzle to figure out. It depicts a journey through the heavenly bodies, examples of which are well known in ancient Egypt but not in the middle of Europe and not at this time."
The disc, weighing 2kg and 38cm across, arrived back in the hands of the state of Saxony via a circuitous route. The two amateurs who found it in the Kyffhuser range at Sangenhausen in east Germany in 2000 took photographs of it - along with bronze amulets, spear tips and two swords - and went on a sales trip.
They approached several dealers and sold it to one for just 10,000, which they said they would use for a new stereo system each and a "few beers".
Then the dealers went hawking it. Wilfried Menghin, museum director for Berlin, said: "They showed me photos and wanted a million marks [333,000]. I was interested but I had my suspicions about its veracity and whether or not it was theirs to sell."
Soon the police became involved: when the dealers tried to sell the disc for 500,000 in the lobby of a Swiss hotel last month, the purchasers turned out to be police officers and the would-be sellers were arrested. The plate now resides with the archaeological department of the city of Halle.
Mr Meller said: "The real puzzle is to where this plate comes from: who made it, what kind of people were they."

Bad power supply is the most likely cause...in fact, it is very probable that your original motherboard is fine.
A computer power supply is a complex critter that supplies several different voltages. One of the supplied voltages could go out and the PSU would partially function...but it wouldn't be able to provide the 'power good' signal that the motherboard needs to power up...so, it could be 'mostly dead'...the fans will attempt to start, etc, until the motherboard doesn't receive the 'power good' signal and shuts everything down, again.

How to Develop an Idea
It has come to my attention that this comic bears a strong resemblance to a bit by Patton Oswalt (you should listen to it. He's really great. I once spent an evening in a cheesy piano bar with him. Really good guy), and possibly George Carlin (Never got to meet him. Know people who did. They say he was kind, but grumpy). The resemblance was unintentional, and I apologize to both of them or their surviving realatives, whichever is most appropriate.
Reader Comments (38)
Sounds like an old Carlin bit--especially the "murder with your bare hands" at age 100.
Note from Scott: Damn ... you might be right. I've done a quick Google search and found nothing, but now that you mention it I can picture him saying that.
sounds a bit like patton oswald's bit --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJnCHy0p6n4
Note from Scott. I was unaware of that. DRAT!!!
I'm curious what they came up with between 60 and 90.
Do I sense a new collaborative bonding between Rick and Scott? The look on Ricks face in panel 4 is positively gleeful!
I think it's mostly the people under 50 who could stand some chilling out. 50 could be the right to tell "When I was your age..." stories.
Are we long lost twins? Did we share an idea that had been fermenting in our brains for a long time?
Note from Scott: We may be long lost twins ... IF you have the other half of this amulet I've been carrying around.
If this is the real Patton, please drop me an e-mail. I'd love to discuss the situation.
Similarities or not, this was still very good and very funny.
I can easily believe that this is unintentional. If you listen to and watch a lot of comedy over the years, it all sinks in to your subconscious. When it does pop out again much much later, it gets hard to tell if it's an original thought or not.
That's what is preventing me from writing my own sitcom - I'm sure that any decent idea I inadvertently have would be traced back to "Cheers" or "Blackadder" !
Note from Scott: I'd love to watch a show made up of ideas from Cheers and Blackadder!
The Place: Revolutionary Boston.
Former Cricketter Sam Miggins opens a Pie shop with the help of his old coach Baldrick. Watch as they attempt to swindle they're wealthy customers Ben Franklin (An affable drunk played by Steven Frye) and Thomas Jefferson (A loud mouth know it all, played by Hugh Laurie)
Here's another who finally finished the archive after first discovering your comic. I feel like I've traveled through time! An enjoyable trip too. Thank you Scott.
It's also quite similar to a Tim Kreider cartoon:
Note from Scott: Thanks for the heads up. Clearly, this is an idea whose time has come!
in the uk, the legal rights from panel one occur at 17 & 18...
Clearly no one knows what can trigger the idea, but clearly Scott, Patton, and potentially George all had the same thing occur!
Sorry, Scott, but never mind Patton Oswalt, today's comic is almost a carbon copy of the following one from 2005:
Great humorous minds think alike!
Don't worry, BTW -- I'm sure Tim Kreider isn't the litigious sort. :)
First thing I thought too was Patton Oswalt, especially the 100 year old right to kill with your bare hands. But still funny nonetheless.
"KILLING A GUY WITH YOUR BARE HANDS", taken most likely from the beginning skit of the 1999 "You're all diseased!" DVD by George Carlin when he rants about "Too much airport security". Not only hilarious but food for thought as to whether or not it might have been inspiration for the 911 terrorists concerning dangerous object which could surprisingly be allowed to be brought into a plane, prior to Sept. 11th 2001 !
Sometimes the streams cross and alternate realities mingle.
Ok, I look at the 2 links provided. While it may be similar, it is similar in the sense blond jokes are similar. Scott's comic comes across original to me. I don't even pretend to know where the boundries are but based on readying the majority (I think) of Scott's work, it does not seem there is much to worry about.
You could do a lot worse than to think like Tim Kreider. The Pain -- When Will It End? is one of the few comix in my comix RSS.
It just goes to show: If you have a great idea, chances are someone else has probably thought of it first.
Quite possibly the best B.I. in recent times (not that they're not all great) I love the synergy Rick and Scott have when Scott's not Rick-bashing. Those two must be really good friends. :)
And Patton Oswalt was on Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! Saturday.
Rick turned 50 not too long ago, if I recall correctly. (Panel 3...)
Or 18 if you want to get pissed in Britain.........
Oh, for heaven's sake! AC was dead-on with the comment about blond jokes. Some blond jokes are tired from the get-go, while others are gut-bustingly funny. A sunset painting or photo might be another analogy; many are cliche and tired, but then there are the gems of expressive composition.
Scott, a great one, especially with the wrap-up in frame 4.
I would pay money to watch a comedy Tom Jefferson played by Hugh Laurie (whom I -still- think of as 'that guy from the TV version of Jeeves' vice 'that guy from House').
In re questions of copy, there was an issue recently where a graphic designer in Hong Kong came up with a nice tribute to Steve Jobs, and used the google to make sure no one else had the idea first. Of course, someone half-way around the world had, about a week earlier....
"Ideas are the easy part; execution the hard part" is the handy oversimplification.
This execution was hilarious throughout four panels. Well done.
This comic is filled with wisdom as well as humour. So that's scary. What's going on?
In Brazil (and in a large part of the world) we get to drink AND drive at 18!
Too much power to bear???
At 60 we get to tell people what we think, not what we're supposed to Be Nice and say. Unless of course we're cartoonists, in which case it starts much much earlier. (Yay!)
I would suggest that, at some age, (60?, 70?) we gain a special driving lane similar to the carpool lane. This is a win-win, because the old folks don't have to worry about other vehicles as much, and the rest of us don't get stuck behind them when we need to drive faster than 10 mph.
I would pay to watch just about anything with Hugh Laurie. I would much prefer to see him play Thomas Jefferson as a buffoon, though.
I'm still sour about the Embargo of 1807. Grrr...
A joke doesn't have to be utterly uniquely to be funny. While I can understand that a blatant rip-off might raise some heckles, you can't expect someone to produce a dozen comics each month, for years, and generate never-before-conceived ideas every time he puts ink to paper. (or copies-and-pastes stock from his comic library with a mouse. Whatever. I don't judge.)
It is a constant source of horrified amazement for me that the drinking age in America is still 21.
You know your comic has made it medium-time when Patton Oswalt comments on one of your strips.
I love this so much. One of my favorites, ever.
This is like What Patton Oswald said only its funny
What amazes me is that most of these birthdays always start with, "You get a new legal right on specific birthdays," usually involve the legalization of some sort of drug, and finally, they ALWAYS END with being able to legally murder someone.
How on EARTH!?! Is it just-- an intuitive joke? That is, if you conceive of the very concept of, "Birthdays are only fun when you're a little kid, we should do something to spice them up as you get older," it will be inevitable that you will ultimately progress to the notion of outlawed activities revoked, drugs legalized, and finally, the right to murder someone? Is it just-- obvious, once you begin that line of thought?
It just occured to me that this comic is basically just taking the standard RPG method of gaining new abilities and spells at certain levels, and applying it to real life. Brilliant!
@Jason: "I'm curious what they came up with between 60 and 90."
I celebrated my 70th birthday by exercising my new right to fart whenever and wherever and however loudly necessary. (While walking is particularly satisfying.)

Executives shuffled after So resigns
HONG KONG — Telco and multiplatform content and interactive services provider PCCW unveiled annual profits down 21.5% to HK$1.25 billion ($160.3 million) and an exec shuffle on Thursday.
PCCW deputy chairman and group managing director Jack So resigned after three years with the company.
Chief financial officer Alex Arena will take his spot while finance director Susanna Hui will become CFO as of April 30.
Company said So resigned for personal reasons; there was speculation in the local press that So's discretionary bonus based on his performance was being cut by 65% for last year.
PCCW has No. 2 paybox Now Broadband TV and a new mobile business and plans to add high-speed data and video services next month to its quadruple-play offering.
"We made the sound decision to invest in new technologies and businesses during 2006 to maintain our market leadership and build a solid foundation for the future," Arena said. "From 2007, we can begin to see the benefits as we unleash the potential of quadruple play."
Revenue was up 14% to $3.3 billion for the year ended Dec. 31. Revenue for TV and content business jumped 71% to $94.7 million as subscribers of Now Broadband TV swelled to 758,000, up 38% from last year.
"Our success in winning the exclusive English Premier League live broadcasting rights for Hong Kong … should support continued strong growth of Now TV," PCCW said in a statement that accompanied the results.
Mobile subscriber numbers jumped 25% to 921,000 as 3G trial users switched to monthly service plans in the second half of the year.
PCCW plans to install 3,000 Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Hong Kong by mid 2007 to support its dual-mode mobile/Wi-Fi handsets.

Probability-Based Design Loads and Responses of Floating Structures: Extreme Slow Drift and Tether Tension
Procedures are described to define design loads and responses of ocean structures. While these methods can be used for both fixed and floating structures, this report focuses on applications to floating structures; specifically, extreme motions of both
a tension-leg platform (TLP) and a spar buoy, and the extreme tether tension of a TLP. This report thus generalizes a recent OMAE paper by the authors [18], which considers mainly t he ext reme motion problem.
To capture the important sensitivity of floating structures to wave period as well as height, joint contours of significant wave height and peak spectral period are derived. Because these contours are structure-independent, they provide a useful means to specify important combinations of environmental parameters for design and wave tank experiments.
New methods are also developed to predict the effect of response variability. These quantify both the response variability in a given seastate, and the background variability in the median response (over all seastates). The result suggests that slow drift
motions may provide a particular modelling challenge: they combine relatively large response variability with rather low background variability levels, the latter due to the limiting steepness behavior of their critical seastates.
The main work has considered Northern North Seas wave environment using the Jonswap wave spectrum. Sensitivity cases including alternative spectrum formulation (bi-modal) and Gulf of Mexico wave climate are also included. These sensitivity
studies also represent extensions to the original OMAE paper cited above.

NASHVILLE - One sign the holiday season is here is the jingling of home phones.
It's also the time of the year when scammers prey on older Tennesseans. Alan Marx, a consumer protection attorney, says last year thousands across the state fell victim to scams during this time of the year.
"More than 25,500 older Americans reported sending $110 million to scammers posing as family members."
According to the Better Business Bureau of Nashville, more than 26,000 Tennesseans reported consumer fraud with losses totaling more than $24 million last year.
The Federal Trade Commission says fraud is up 19 percent over 2010 and more than 800 percent since 2000. Consumers reported losing more than $1.5 billion to scams. Marx says the economy may be struggling, but the fraud business is booming.
The best way to protect yourself is to be skeptical, but he says that for older individuals that's hard to do.
"People who are a bit older grew up in a time when it was considered rude or impolite to just refuse to answer the door or answer the phone, or hang up on somebody."
Marx says adult children and caregivers play an important role in helping older people avoid scams. Often, seniors are lonely and appreciate having someone to talk with. Unfortunately, scammers know this and use it to prey on them.
If you've been a victim of fraud or are concerned about a solicitation, there are places to turn for assistance. Marx says the Better Business Bureau is a great source for information, as is the Federal Trade Commission. And there's one resource he says many overlook.
"Interestingly, the U.S. Postal Service: there's a group that doesn't get a lot of publicity, but there are postal enforcement agents. They bring actions pretty aggressively, kind of like the FBI, but focusing on mail fraud."
Marx says the best protection is to sit down and talk to older relatives or friends. Remind them not to give out personal or financial information to strangers, no matter how friendly or persistent the caller is. Even if someone claims to represent a well-known charity, your loved one should hang up the phone.

CBS (Sun., Nov. 2, 9 p.m. ET)
Come to think of it, we've missed Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher character since Murder, She Wrote ended its 12-season run as a CBS series in 1996. Now that the novelist-sleuth is back in a two-hour TV movie, we're glad for another chance to appreciate Jessica's dogged but mannerly persistence. The script involves her in the search for a woman (Mel Harris) who witnessed the murder of a whistleblower in the National Security Agency. There are lots of red herrings and clichés, but fans will enjoy watching Jessica prove herself smarter than a smug FBI agent (Keith David) and other government types. The network plans more Murder movies. Please, could they feature bigger-name guest stars and a faster pace?

Canon PowerShot S95
Canon PowerShot S95 – key features:
Canon PowerShot SD4500
SD4500 / IXUS 1000 HS Key features:
Canon PowerShot SX130
PowerShot SX130 IS Key features:
All 3 of these were previously reported here at Canon Rumors.
Shoot in darker situations with f/2.0 aperture and the HS SystemThe PowerShot S95 includes Canon's HS System – a combination of a high-sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and powerful DIGIC 4 processing, which provides exceptional low light performance even better than that of its predecessor. The HS System enables the camera to support a maximum ISO of 3200 at full resolution and works to reduce the occurrence of noise at all ISO speeds for high quality images. Users can also set their own parameters in Auto ISO mode, with the ability to limit the maximum ISO speed they want to employ during shooting.Using Low Light mode, the camera can also achieve an extended ISO range from ISO 320 to ISO 12800, capturing images at 2.5MP resolution. Manual control of ISO settings and white balance in Low Light mode also provide greater control over shots taken in darker conditions, allowing users to accurately capture the ambience of a dimly-lit environment exactly as they see it. Low Light mode also enables higher speed shooting, capturing up to 3.9 shots per second so a moment is never missed.As well as providing the ability to shoot without the flash and still achieve correctly-exposed shots, the PowerShot S95's high-sensitivity sensor offers a greater dynamic range compared to conventional sensor types. Tonal range representation is improved as a result, allowing natural looking pictures to be captured in all conditions. A bright, f/2.0 genuine Canon lens perfectly complements the HS System, allowing more light into the camera and providing greater ability to use faster shutter speeds and freeze the motion of moving subjects
The fixed f2.0 of this deffinitely gets my interest.
Quote from: funkstar on August 19, 2010, 04:02:39 AMThe fixed f2.0 of this deffinitely gets my interest.Fixed? Attached to the camera indeed, but it's f/2.0 - f/4.9.
Fixed? Attached to the camera indeed, but it's f/2.0 - f/4.9.
It seems that Canon decided to become a unique company which produces new PHOTO cameras which have almost nothing PHOTOGRAPHICALLY new during past 2 years?! Really, let's have a look - T1i - only increased MPix, T2i - even more increased sensor MPix and slightly better ISO, Canon 7D - late answer to Nikon D300 - same sensor as T2i and 19 focus points (vs. 51 of D300, even D95 is believed to have 39), 5D Mark 2 - again increased sensor MPix and slightly better ISO 1D Mark 4 - far behind Nikon D3s in every aspect, except... availability. We got S95 tonight, which has only HDR feature new (again, I consider only related info). If cnet news is not fake then the same "upgrade" has G12.Now we expect 60D wth swivel display and plastic body and possibly again same sensor as T2i.Sorry guys, I really don't see any PHOTOGRAPHY related news here!

Overtown mural urges WOC to breastfeed
admin | 6/21/2012, 5:25 a.m.
There has always been a lack of positive images of women in color represented in images in the media or even contemporary art. However, the lack is particularly noticeable when it comes to positive portrayals of Black, Hispanic and other mothers of color breast feeding, according to Shayla Walsh, an organizer for the Powerful Women and Families. The program, which is headquartered in Miami, is dedicated to educating young and low-income women of color about issues on how to raise healthy families. So, on Wednesday, June 13th, the Powerful Women and Families unveiled a mural on the corner of 14th Street and Second Court in Overtown. The concept of the mural is to reclaiming our power as mothers, particularly as mothers who are women in color, Walsh explained. Under the leadership and technical assistance of Lulu Figueroa, mothers and leaders in the Powerful Women and Families program designed and painted the mural. The mural project was part of the Powerful Women and Families campaign to raise awareness about the importance of Women of Color choosing to breast feed their children. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a new borns diet should consist exclusively of breast milk for their first six months of their lives. Afterwards, parents should continue to feed their children breast milk in addition to complementary foods until they are 12 months old. Unfortunately, not many women - white or Black - are heeding these guidelines. According to the Centers for Diseases Controls 2010 Breastfeeding Report Card, 73.4 percent of all mothers in Florida breast feed their new borns. However, the numbers severely decrease as time goes on. By the time their babies are six months old, only 38 percent of new moms are still breast feeding and only 17.3 percent are breast feeding when their children are 12 months old. Among Black women, only 45 percent have reported breastfeeding their new borns. Walsh believes the low rates of breast feeding occur for several reasons including lack of cultural and community support and education. One reason is that a lot of low-income Black women arent receiving enough education about feeding plans that include breastfeeding, she explained. Theres a kind of assumption that a low-income Black mom will just go to WIC [Women, Infants and Children program], so doctors arent proving them with the information about breast feeding. She further explained, Also, there are still stigmas surrounding breast feeding. So, you may try to breastfeed your child in public and receive disapproving looks from [others.] The lack of breast milk is a detriment for children. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a mothers breast milk has been proven to provide all calories and nutrients that infants need, assist with the proper development of a babys organs; and help ward off numerous diseases and infections including diarrhea, pneumonia, bronchiolitis and ear infections. To help educate more individuals of how to raise healthy children and families, the Powerful Women and Families program has held a series of free classes for mothers.

Bethlehem police this morning were called to Hayes Street for a shooting that turned out to be a hoax.
Someone dialed 911 about 9:10 this morning saying that gunshots had been fired in a home in the 600 block of Hayes Street, police Lt. Mark DiLuzio said.
"Shooting calls like this, police take very seriously nowadays," he said.
Police and city EMS quickly responded and officers surrounded the home asking the man and woman inside to come out. The two elderly, bewildered residents quickly complied, DiLuzio said.
"There were no weapons in the home," he said. "They're completely innocent people."
Police are investigating who made the 911 call since it is a crime to misuse the 911 system, he said. Fake 911 calls reporting shootings or hostages to draw out a large police response is actually so common it's garnered the nickname "swatting," DiLuzio said.
"Many times the person who calls it in is standing nearby. They take pictures and they get a thrill out of it," he said. "But it's not a joke if you're one of the responders or if it's your house."
Hoaxes like this divert police and EMS resources from legitimate emergencies.
"If that was your mother or grandmother (having a heart attack elsewhere) how would you feel?" DiLuzio said. "Have some consideration for other human beings."
Emergency responders put themselves in danger every time they rush to a 911 call, especially on a winter day like today, he said.
"It is not a joke or a hoax," DiLuzio said. "You're interfering in people's lives and endangering them."
In May 2010, someone made a frantic 911 call about a man threatening to shoot his wife and baby in a South Side home triggering a nearly two-hour standoff and a full SWAT deployment. Another call came in threatening to shoot any arriving police.
It turned out to be a hoax.

To a man, Green Bay believes its defense in particular, its team in general, is, well, different than the unit that was pretty much used by the 49ers in the season opener.
"We're a better team, that's the bottom line," defensive back Charles Woodson insisted after the Packers' wild card defeat of Minnesota last weekend.
"Both sides of the ball, I think we're a team right now that's, what you could say, is battle-tested. We've been in some tight ballgames and we've been able to pull them out. And so, we feel like this week, going into a tough environment against a good team, that we're ready for it."
Defensively, the Packers will also be ready for the 49ers' two-headed monster at tight end. The question, though, is can they do anything about it?
"Obviously everyone knows about Vernon Davis, been doing it a long time, but also Delanie Walker," offered Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. "I mean, they do everything with him -- fullback, tight end, line him up in the slot…their guys can kind of play everything, both of those tight ends."
Davis caught three passes for 43 yards, including a four-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter that gave the 49ers a 23-7 lead in their eventual 30-22 victory on Sept. 9 at Lambeau Field. Walker, though, was shut out on a pair of targets.
"So, it can cause some problems for you," Hawk added. " But that's why we're here. That's why there's only eight (teams) left."
[RELATED: Packers' Hawk champing at the bit for kickoff]
How Green Bay deals with Davis and Walker Saturday at Candlestick Park could decide which team -- the Packers or 49ers -- advance to the NFL's version of the Final Four.
"Their two-tight end package is excellent, whether it's two tights-one back, two receivers-two tights-and two backs, so they do a number of different things," said Packers coach Mike McCarthy. "They'll spread you out in those formations, test your roles and make sure each call is in place.
"But they're definitely multiple in what they do and conceptually, able to do everything out of all those personnel groups."

Southern Shores broker named to post assisting Realtor reading program
A "passion for working with people" drives Peter Derry in his job and in charitable efforts, including helping youngsters read.
That's according to Southern Shores Real Estate Group, where he is top producing agent and broker.Derry was recently named vice chair for Reading with Realtors.
Charleston Trident Association of Realtors sponsors the organization. Members volunteer to read one hour a week at underprivileged Burns Elementary in North Charleston and often go beyond that goal to work out ways for students to meet community leaders and ensure they're furnished with adequate educational tools.
Derry, who is also broker and owner of PHD Properties, has specialized in residential and acquisition real estate for seven years in the Charleston area - all of them with Southern Shores. The firm credits Derry for his workplace and extracurricular successes.
A National Association of Realtors member and Certified Investor Agent Specialist, Derry has a "proven natural dedication to his clients and a strong work ethic," according to Southern Shores.
The agent's real estate activities allow him "to expand his passion for working with people," the company notes. He enjoys helping clients find the right property for their lifestyle and portfolio. As property manager, he can assist customers with particular real estate needs.
Reading with Realtors, in turn, gives agents a chance to engage the pre-teens. They try "to help kids see the future, with college and beyond as their goals," according to Southern Shores.
The volunteer professionals, 44 members and growing, mentor children not just with reading but reach out to "plan college tours, meet local business owners and focus on all aspects of their education and social interaction" such as raising funds for needed school supplies, the agency points out.
"All of the volunteers try to make it a blast for the children to help open up the world of possibilities that most have never heard of," Southern Shores says.
For more about the program, contact Derry at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Southern Shores Real Estate Group LLC considers real estate acquisition to be its "backbone." It's comprised of six divisions including acquisition and commercial brokerage, residential, property management, community management, vacation rentals, cleaning and custodial services and construction and maintenance.
New-look website proves to be perk for Charleston Fine Homes
The Internet window that a local real estate partnership presents to the public has undergone changes to be more user-friendly.
Charleston Fine Homes unveiled its new website in the past few weeks, Chari Karinshak and Franne Schwarb say. They're agents with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors who have their own team within the brokerage.
The online site, at www.charlestonfinehomes.com, showcases a new look and offers "one-stop-shopping" for real estate services including easy Multiple Listing Search capability, they say.
The agents update their blog on the new site. "We always welcome guest bloggers, so email us and let us know what topic you'd like to explore," Schwarb says. Interested parties also can send suggestions.
The agent team offers a new monthly newsletter online "that will feature tips, tricks, happenings (and) giveaways." And the pair will spend "a lot of time answering your common (and not-so-common) real estate questions," she says.
For more, visit Karinshak at email@example.com.
Carolina One teams with new owner of Berkeley condos
A developer has chosen to partner with one of the area's largest new-homes specialists on its first community in the Charleston area.
Xcelsior Palmetto LLC joins up with Carolina One New Homes to oversee sales and marketing of Palmetto Place condos. The project resides in Berkeley County near the intersection of Clements Ferry and Jack Primus roads.
"These newly designed condos cater perfectly to what discriminating buyers are asking for; low maintenance affordable living in a desirable area of the city," says Jon Foege, Xcelsior Palmetto's sales and marketing director.
The new one-, two- and three-bedroom condos range in size from 975 to 1,358 square feet. They show off formal and informal dining areas, laundry rooms, crown molding, walk-in closets, oversized showers and fire sprinklers.
According to Carolina One New Homes, the community sits within Daniel Island's "desirable" school district, and the condos are minutes away from downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island and area beaches.
For more information, go to www.palmettoplacecondo.com or contact Carolina One New Homes site agents Debi DeCusatis or Patty Scott at 843-856-1120.
Based in the Charleston area, Carolina One New Homes represents more than 30 communities in terms of marketing and selling their newly built properties. It was formed in 1994 as a division of Carolina One Real Estate.
National group's outgoing president gives tips for home inspection month
One reliable way to protect your home from moisture intrusion involves drafting a checklist and then probing trouble spots, a noted Ravenel home inspector says.
According to Bill Jacques, water seeping into the house stands as a leading cause of home maintenance issues and repairs.
Jacques, president of American Inspection Service Inc., is immediate past president of the American Society of Home Inspectors.
"April," which happens to be National Home Inspection Month, "is the perfect time for a spring maintenance inspection," he says. "When it comes to water intrusion, it's not often a matter of 'if' but 'when' the moisture will take its toll. Between wet climate conditions and ice melting from rising temperatures, a maintenance inspection is the best way to safeguard your greatest investment from potentially costly repairs," Jacques says.
Due to safety precautions, the home inspectors group doesn't recommend homeowners conducting inspections themselves. But the local inspector notes several areas that homeowners should eyeball, including:
-Visually inspecting hose bibs (the threaded end of the outside water tap or faucet where a hose can be attached) for signs of frost damage.
-Checking out pipes for separated joints or splits.
-Perusing window and door screens for tears and holes.
-Looking over gutters for broken or loose pieces.
-Investigating surfaces for cracking or peeling paint and caulking.
Jacques says a typical spring home inspection should include a roof evaluation to see if there's any curling, shrinking, or broken or missing shingles "that may lead to costly leaks," and an assessment of the home's perimeter to look for signs of settling and for voids that will allow rain to enter through the foundation. He also recommends a "thorough" inspection of the air conditioning system.
If homeowners choose to hire an inspector, they should interview the candidates to understand what the inspection will cover and to verify their experience. Jacques also offers a list of questions homeowners should ask.
They should find out if the inspector's certified, what the inspection covers, how long prospective contractors have been home inspectors and how many inspections they've completed.
"ASHI certified inspectors are required to have completed at least 250 paid professional home inspections and pass two written exams that test the inspector's knowledge of competency," he says.
Homeowners should check to see if inspectors are specifically experienced in residential inspection, if they encourage customers to attend their inspections, whether they will submit a written report and how long the inspection will take.
"The average for a single inspector is two to three hours for a typical single family house; anything less may not be enough time to do a thorough inspection," Jacques says.
For more information or to find an ASHI certified inspector, visit www.ASHI.org or call 800-743-2744.
Pair of agents join Handsome Properties
Real estate veterans Debbie Peretsman and Lee Williams have signed on with a Charleston agency that focuses on luxury property.
The two professionals now work with Handsome Properties.
Peretsman developed familiarity with the Charleston market after owning property throughout greater Charleston including historic downtown and coastal communities over the past 20 years.
She's lived across the country including New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Antonio and Charlotte. The Realtor considers Charleston "her home and her favorite place to live." It is where she feels the "most comfortable and alive." During her first year as a Realtor, Peretsman quickly established herself as a top agent in the Charleston downtown luxury market, Handsome Properties notes. She received the "Rookie of the Year" and "Realtor of Distinction" awards for top-notch sales performance.
Peretsman's leading attributes consist of an appreciation and passion for Charleston, knowledge of the area, understanding of value and a keen sense of style, according to Handsome Properties.
Before becoming a Realtor, she worked in the medical and educational fields and developed valuable interpersonal skills. She's most proud of her dedication to serving her clients. Handsome Properties says she once spent more than three months "completely renovating, decorating and staging a historical property for one of her clients, tending to every detail of the process. The property sold in just 11 days for one of the highest prices per square foot in the area (in more than 13 years)."
On the civic and cultural side, Peretsman has served on the advisory board of "Save the Light" Morris Island Lighthouse preservation project; the Fur Ball Committee for Pet Helpers rescue adoption center; and the advisory board for Threshold Repertory Theater, where she launched the "Play with Your Food Series." She's also a member of the Middleton Place Foundation and the Historic Charleston Foundation.
Peretsman splits her time between her historic South of Broad residence and a marsh-front home on James Island.
Williams, meanwhile, spent a number of years in public relations and the political field before converting to the real estate profession.
According to Handsome Properties, he previously ran a small, interior architectural design firm, specializing in custom moldings, built-in cabinetry and design detail. "He added 'Staging Strategies' to his portfolio and has helped dozens of clients get their homes 'show' ready with his unique vision and thorough understanding of 'How the Buyer Sees Things in Ten Quick Seconds.'"
Williams purchased and renovated four different houses over the years, including redoing the interiors and exteriors. That's enabled him to help clients with their own home projects.
"Whether getting a house ready to put on the market, referring reputable maintenance workers or providing creative ideas to personalize a new home for a client, (Williams) puts his heart and energy into every assignment," Handsome Properties notes.
Williams is "honored" to be a part of the firm because of its commitment and dedication to clients, knowledge of the Charleston market and surrounding areas and follow-through practices, the agency says.
His top priority at Handsome Properties is "to know his clients and their needs and to represent them to the highest level."
The downtown Charleston resident enjoys sailing, cycling to Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach and getting together with family and friends at neighborhood restaurants. He is a member of St. Michael's Church, the downtown Exchange Club and The Stray Dog Society and he volunteers for Meals-on-Wheels in Charleston.

Dueger earned a bachelor's degree in media communications from the College of Charleston. He lives in Darrell Creek east of the Cooper with his wife, Rebecca, and their daughter, Scarlett.
"I am very excited to extend my real estate experience to the powerful Century 21 Properties Plus team," Dueger says.
Century 21 Properties Plus touts 17 years of experience in the real estate industry. According to the agency, it offers advanced technology, comprehensive resources and unbeatable brand recognition.
Describing itself as a full service brokerage firm specializing in residential and commercial real estate, the agency counts locations in downtown Summerville at 118 W. Richardson Ave. and in the Park West development in Mount Pleasant at 3301 Salterbeck Court.

Scarborough joins large local agency
A tennis and sailing buff from Charleston recently made his way to Carolina One Real Estate Services as a new associate.
Edward Chapman Scarborough is based in Carolina One's downtown Broad Street office.
He spent six years in London, earning a bachelor's degree in business management and a minor in literature from Regent's College.
After his return to the U.S., Scarborough worked for PigglyWiggly and The Hidden Countship Shop where he was sales manager. The antique store specializes in Italian-made décor.
"Edward was referred to me by (a top agent)," says Nancy Roettger, broker-in-charge. "I couldn't have been more pleased when he opted to join our downtown team," she says.
Carolina One Real Estate Services celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The company touts 11 sales offices, a mortgage division and departments specializing in insurance, new homes, relocation, commercial real estate, property management, vacation rentals and title services.

For the better part of our Hawaii to Samoa trip we sailed through a kind of dead-zone. It's major league baseball playoff time and the Oosterdam can't pick up any of the sports channels. So we found ourselves tuned in to the vice-presidential debate. In need of a sports fix more than politics, my mind began to wander from the political arena to the boxing ring. Joe Biden came out from the opening bell and landed with his left, then his right, over and over and over. With his opponent, Paul Ryan, backed up against the ropes, unable to muster any sort of attack or defense, the elder-statesman threw a sharp smile, then a wicked sneer, followed by a volley of laughter.
When the debate was over the broadcast switched to the only live news program we could pick up – Fox News. Elenka was about to switch the set off when I asked her to hold for a moment. The moment lasted more than an hour. Each and every one of the Fox commentators barely touched on the subjects of debate, choosing instead to go after Biden for his vicious sneering and what they termed his "uncontrollable laughter". After an hour the consensus was in. Ryan had won the debate because Biden was far too rude. Afterwords, I fell asleep and dreamed of the time Elenka and I were in Communist China watching a very similar version of TV news.
Okay! So tumbling into the southern hemisphere wasn't much different than rolling into the ship's Lido restaurant. But last night we crossed the International Date Line. Essentially, when the clock struck twelve we went from Saturday to Monday. If I were to phone home just before midnight and again just after midnight would Matus say, "Wow, it's been 24 hours since we last talked, let me tell you all that's happened." Or, "We just hung up, why are you bothering me again?" Cumulatively, it's all too much.
It's real-time now: This morning Elenka and I, along with Gloria and Dennis from Alberta – we're all part of a trivia team called the Albertarians – took a cab across the island of 'Upolu, in Samoa to a nice little snorkel beach. The island is quite picturesque with many hilltop spots where you can stop and experience wonderful views of the sea. Samoans are also very Christian. There must be at least one church for every dozen or so people. What's really quite different here is the manner in which they deal with the dead. Loved ones are buried in the front lawn of the family home.
Photos to follow once we have a better Internet connection.

Abuse of cyclists almost like racial discrimination, claims AA
Road.cc: Abuse of cyclists "almost like racial discrimination," claims AA President
Hatred leads to conflicts and casualties - it's a road safety issue says AA's top man
AA President Edmund King has said that hatred of cyclists in the press and on social media is "almost like racial discrimination." Earlier this week, the man who heads the UK's biggest motoring organisation had shown delegates at a road safety conference the extent of some of the vitriol directed at cyclists on Twitter.
In some cases, police are copied in on the tweets:
As the tweeter behind CycleHatred points out, the views are extreme ones and probably not reflective of the majority of drivers.
Cyclists, of course, are not a defined group in the way that ethnic minorities are, so there would appear to be little prospect of police taking action against generalised tweets making anti-cycling comments as they do in some cases of racial abuse, for example.

Album Review
The Entire History of Punk
is not one of those meticulously compiled and annotated box sets that comprehensively survey a portion of musical history. Instead, it is a randomly organized collection of tracks with virtually no annotations beyond song titles, group names, and a brief introduction by former
Vice Squad
Beki Bondage
. That may seem appropriate to punk music, a style that incorporated the suggestion of a rip-off as part of its essence, but the result is scattershot. Dressed to Kill has not licensed tracks from any of the major labels, so whenever an important song by a prominent artist turns up, a hit by
the Sex Pistols
the Stranglers
, for instance, it's a live performance or outtake, not the original recording. And although by this method some of the major names in British punk are included, along with legendary progenitors like
Iggy Pop
the MC5
, many others are missing. There is nothing here by
the Clash
the Ramones
, except for remakes of their songs by lesser known performers. So, the set does not live up to its ambitious title. But it does contain fifteen-and-a-half hours of punk music (which could have fit onto 13 CDs instead of being spread across 20), 314 tracks by 127 different artists, three dozen of them successful enough to make the U.K. charts. Most of those performers are second- or third-division punk acts, and many are second or third generation as well, with the recordings stretching from the mid-'70s until well into the 1980s. The real stars of the box are raucous, political British groups like
the Angelic Upstarts
(who have 12 cuts),
the Adicts
(nine), and
Sham 69
(seven). As long as the listener doesn't expect a complete portrait of punk, there are many discoveries to be made.

I was at a local gun store over lunch and saw a guy walk in with a fairly new EBR. Looked to be a piston upper with a full rail kit along with an ACOG. I over heard the guy saying he wanted to sell it and asking what he could get for it. The guy behind the counter said $400.00 and the guy agreed to it!!! :what: I had to bite my tongue from yelling out "I'll give you $600.00.
Why don't I ever meet these guys first! :(

The Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) instrument of the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS) project will provide a unique 25-year record of synoptic solar observations with daily full-disk photospheric vector and high sensitivity longitudinal magnetograms. In addition, the VSM will produce daily full-disk chromospheric longitudinal magnetograms along with various He I 1083 nm parameter images. The VSM is being prepared for installation at a temporary site in Tucson for a comparison period with observations from the Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope (KPVT). After the cross-calibration period, the VSM will replace the KPVT spectromagnetograph at Kitt Peak. We outline the various VSM data products, with emphasis on the calibration and data reduction efforts.
The data transmission and storage resources are such that the reduction of VSM data will be performed at the observing site on Kitt Peak. Reduced data products will be transmitted via a DS3 link from Kitt Peak to the National Solar Observatory's digital archive in Tucson. During a typical observing day, three full-disk photospheric vector magnetograms will be available over the Internet in two stages: first, as a ``quick-look'' product within 10 minutes of data acquisition, and then as a full Milne-Eddington (ME) inversion product within 12 hours of each observation. The quick-look parameters will include estimates of the magnetic field strength, azimuth and inclination based on Auer, Heasley, House (1977, Solar Physics 55, p. 47). The high-precision vector products will be determined with the High Altitude Observatory ME inversion technique implemented by Skumanich and Lites (1987, ApJ, 322, p.473). The flexible design of the VSM data handling system can incorporate future improvements under consideration (e.g., principal component analysis).
This research was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research Grant N00014-91-J-1040.

Important Festivals and Holidays in Kyoto
By Emma, Australia, February 2013
July – Gion Matsuri
The Gion Matsuri is Japan's most famous festival and has a history that dates back to 869. Taking place throughout July, the highlight of the festival is a large procession of elaborately decorated floats. Some of the floats (the hoko) stand up to 25 meters tall, weigh up to 12 tons and are pulled along on giant wheels. While the float procession is undoubtedly a festival highlight, several other events take place throughout the month.

In the Pavilion at Villanova University, tucked in the corner of the blue bleachers, two boys plotted what they would do after the tennis match Tuesday night.
"I'm going to meet James Blake," a 10-year-old named Gavin told one of his camp counselors. He waved a piece of white plastic carved in the shape of a racket across his face. "He's going to sign this."
An 8-year-old named Nick with a blue mohawk haircut butted in. "I'm going to tell him to sign this!" he said, slapping the right leg of his cargo shorts.
Their City of Reading Tennis counselor, Daniel Cortes, just nodded in acknowledgment. The 22-year-old's hands were full. The Reading program staff had driven 20 children about 50 miles to watch a World TeamTennis match between the Freedoms and the Sacramento Capitals.

I at least liked De La Hoya as a fighter though. The guy usually came to fight, except at the end of that Trinidad fight. It's pretty much because he contradicted himself and turned down a fight when he said on Twitter he'd never do that and was one of the main reasons UFC 151 got cancelled.
Speaking of weirdo, weren't there some pictures some years ago of De La Hoya in lingerie and a woman's wig that made the rounds online and in the news? So how long before some cross dressing pics of Jones show up online?

First of all, I want to share appreciation for Mark and everyone on the site. I have been following for about a year now, and this is my first post.
Over that time, I have moved towards a primal diet in eating fewer carbs, going heavy on Kerrygold and coconut oil and raw eggs. I have a blood panel from before and after. I got a whole plethora of tests, and most everything looks ok, with the exception of lipds:
12/17/11 1/29/13
Cholesterol Total 199 270
Triglycerides 58 62
VLDL n/a 12
I understand that these results aren't definitive: [url=http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-to-interpret-cholesterol-test-results/#axzz2K2MuNBWS]How to Read a Cholesterol Test | Mark's Daily Apple[/url]
However, I am concerned that my LDL went up proportionally more than my HDL. Don't know my bmi, but I'm 6-2 and 175, pretty slender.
Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?

The state of Pennsylvania is paying $1.1 billion in pensions to its public employees this year.
In five years, the tab will be an unsustainable $4.3 billion, which would amount to almost 16 percent of the state's entire General Fund.
With that in mind, there were hints this past week of a movement to reduce the cost of current workers' future benefits.
Such a move carries legal and constitutional questions with it. But the state simply does not have the future money to pay the pensions that loom in the future.
Too much neglect for too long may create a scenario in which the state can't make good on its pension promises.
An outcry from state employees would be understandable.
But that outcry needs to be accompanied by some suggested solutions and maybe even some concessions, given that the terms of these pensions are so much better than almost anyone in the private sector has.

"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?

It's pretty good at the very least. Aerial Ace 'n X-Scissor have shit coverage regardless though, the moveset would actually be even better with Grasswhistle and Synthesis or somethin'. So yeah, it is a tad too easy for a Moveset Challenge. Not like it matters since I'm usin' a full team anyways.

Benefits of not getting an Epidural?
You might not want to decide until you are there. That's what I did. I was not sure what it was going to feel like or how much I could tolerate until I was in that position, then I made the decision. For me I was so glad I allowed myself to wait to decide.

I plan on trying without again this time. If I need it though I won't feel bad.

So quiet down cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies dont keep.
The Business of Being Born is definitely a fabulous movie. They have four follow-up films now, too, that I recommend. Great entertainment and I felt like I learned a lot!
I have nothing to compare too but with mine I was up and walking 10 minutes after... I stood up and wiped off my legs hoo hah and butt ... changing my gown... I even changed rooms... I went and had a bath about an hour later.... I also FELT my urge to push... It felt GOOD to push and because I could feel the pushing and the need, I think it was easier to know how... I have had friends with Epi and she said she didnt even know if she was pushing of not

I went back and read, also in regards to the 'back problems' or head aches... I have a friend who during hers some of her spinal fluid leaked out (its one of the risks) so when she sat up later before the fluid could regenerate her brain smacked the front of her skull.... causing a bruise... the headaches she had while it was healing were insane... she couldnt even move to care for her daughter... With baby number 2 she wasnt allowed the Epi... even if she had wanted it

i don't see a benefit of not getting an epidurol i felt every contraction i felt everything i was doing down there i wasn't numb in my back and i was able to walk right away with no problem.
but everyone is diffrent some people do have problems after the epidurol.
Isabella H 8/22/11 9lbs 13oz, Samuel Y 7/6/13 9lbs 8oz, Lucas Y 8/18/14 9lbs 9oz, Matthew Y 12/28/15 9lbs 13oz
I will be a FTM so I dont have any personal experience. But its true that sometimes epidurals do help relax you and speed things up. I know that when I am in pain I get all tensed up, so I think I wouldnt be able to do it without. I do plan on trying to go with out it for awhile so that I can try to get as far along without it.
I have had 8 epidurals and loved every one. The epidural guy is my best friend at the hospital.
I have had beautiful deliveries, no complications, no side effects (except Pain Relief), and never had problems after. For me I enjoy my labors and deliveries. I Pushed for 30 minutes with my first baby. After that I have only pushed a few times to get baby out. I can totally tell how to push when I have an epidural. Never a problem for me.
I had one baby all natural and I did not like it. I would never do it again unless I had to. (he he)
Everyone is different. Do whatever you want and be happy.
I think there is a time and a place for epidurals but they don't need to be routine. For one thing if you get one too early in your labor, it can slow it down, leading to a possible failure to progress c-section.
I feel the number one benefit of not getting one is that you have full mobility. You can walk around and labor in lots of different positions which is helpful to progress labor and get baby in a good position. Also being able to push in any position and be able to feel the urge to push. Some women feel the urge with an epi and others don't. A lot of time women with epi's do directed pushing (pushing when told with staff counting to 10) instead of pushing with urges. Also a lot of times moms with epis end up pushing flat on their backs which is the hardest position to push in. That combined with directed pushing can lead to more tearing.
If you choose to get one, you'll need 2 bags of fluid before it's placed to help prevent a dramatic dip in blood pressure, you'll need to wear a blood pressure cuff, pulse ox on your finger or toe, have a catheder, and constant monitoring. It's also more likely that you'll have pitocin with one. All that can feel really limiting and fustrating to some women. Others it doesn't bug them at all.
