So far I am pretty happy with my new Photosmart C7180 all-in-one, but
I am frustrated by the negative scanning feature.
I have not been able to figure out the following functions: how to
select individual negatives to scan (the unit insists on scanning an
entire negative strip); how to preview the scan; how to make
adjustments in the pre-scan; how to specify destination of photo.
I haven't had any luck scanning negatives via TWAIN, either. I have
only been able to scan using the all-in-one's control panel. But I
wouldn't mind this if I could fix the other problems.
I haven't had any of these issues with scanning prints, which seems
much more straightforward, and I haven't tried the slide scanner yet.

- 1½ cups Hershey ® Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Pecans chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons Simple Syrup recipe follows

*Adding a tablespoon of plain vodka to the bottle and giving it a lite shake will increase the shelf life of your syrup.

The Kalamazoo Kings pitching staff made few mistakes Friday night, but lost control in a crucial stretch and dropped a 4-2 decision the Windy City ThunderBolts at Homer Stryker Field.
With the bases loaded and the score tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, Kings reliever Tyler Hyde plunked ThunderBolts batter Brandon Anderson with two outs to score Pete Paris and give Windy City a 3-2 lead. Hyde was pulled in favor of Mike Zenko, who walked Ryan Basham on seven pitches to give the ThunderBolts a 4-2 cushion.
Kalamazoo starter David Goodenough (0-1) took the loss. He pitched 4 1/3 innings and allowed one earned on four hits. Matt Maloney, Lee Rubin and Destan Makonnen — an RBI-double — each had a hit for the Kings (16-47).
Sean Toler (3-0) picked up the win for Windy City (33-28), throwing six innings with six strikeouts and five walks. Paris had three hits and scored two runs to lead the ThunderBolts.

China and Gadhafi Not as Friendly as Some Assume
The relationship between Beijing and Tripoli during the 42-year reign of Col. Moammar Gadhafi included a narrative of brothers-in-arms solidarity and plenty of anti-imperialism rhetoric. But now that it appears to be ending, that relationship looks like it was more delicate than most realize.
In recent years, the Libyan regime clashed with the Chinese on everything from the rising power's inroads into Africa to Col. Gadhafi's economic and political ties with Taiwan. China, which is scouring the world for resources to feed its economy, saw its crude imports from Libya more than double since 2008. But its state-owned oil companies seemed to lack the needed political capital with the Gadhafi regime to gain significant stakes in crude-oil assets in Libya, home to Africa's largest proven oil reserves.

lol cops.
Just about one of the stupidest things I have ever read.
This is the guy and his MP3 player...Mechanic Darren Nixon recently got a rude awakening when he was arrested at gunpoint because a bystander and a team of British police both mistook his 4GB Phillps MP3 player for a pistol. Amazingly enough, the ordeal was not cleared up with a simple "It's an MP3 player stupid"—in fact, Nixon was taken back to HQ, swabbed for DNA, fingerprinted, and thrown into a cell based on suspicion. Naturally, the whole ordeal has left Nixon shaken and disillusioned with his local police force. Hey, at least he didn't get shot.
Old Signature"I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like a social status."
lol cops.
Haha, that's so stupid, it's actually funny.
if i were that guy, i would be so pissed that they threw me in jail for having an mp3 player. how would that look on a job application:
So, it says here you did jail time; what was that for?
Posession of multimedia device.
My Face------------------------------------>Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Add my PSN for some good shit~iDorkfish
that dude got big ears lol
a pistol???
enough said
That's ridiculous!
If they're gonna make a stupid mistake and think that an mp3 player that looks nothing like a gun at all is a pistol is one thing, but to throw him in jail even after they find out it's not? What the hell?
This reminds me of a scene from Harold and Kumar:
Cop:"He's got a gun!"
Black guy:"It's not a gun, it's just a book!"
Cop:"Secure the book!"
Cop:"Book secured!"
You want to sit down but you sold your chair.
So you just stand there.

Nick Saban Fires Back at Steve Spurrier
August 22nd, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
Back in April, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier said of his SEC contemporary Nick Saban, "If he wants to be the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches in college football, to me, he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they've always won there at Alabama.
(It's worth noting that, in the same interview, Spurrier said Saban was the best coach in the SEC.)
Four months later, Saban – the winner of two of three last three national titles – responded with this gem during his Tuesday interview on "The Dan Patrick Radio Show":
"LSU wasn't winning when I went there. Michigan State wasn't winning when I went there. Toledo wasn't winning when I went there. And Alabama really wasn't winning when I came here. I guess I gotta go someplace else. I don't know."
The best part is that it's true. The year before Saban got to Tuscaloosa, the Tide went 6-7 in 2006.
Thankfully, both Spurrier and Saban seem to enjoy the needling rather than take offense to, as Saban added, "I think it's great, I love Steve. I'm always anxious to hear what he has to say – it's always funny."
But it's becoming entertaining enough to move up our list of top CFB coaching feuds in a hurry.

Monitors outside the museum will soon show the events of the Murrah Building bombing. FBI evidence will also be on display inside, including original letters from the building.
The T-shirt and handcuffs Timothy McVeigh wore the day of his arrest near Perry will also be on display. Museum officials hope the changes will be complete by the 20th anniversary of the bombing in 2015.

I have been eating primal for about a year. Lately been increasing the carbs from veges eg kumara and fruit.
But over the last few days I have gone off plan a lot more than usual - pudding out at a family dinner, pie for lunch the next day, three homemade cookies, dessert, several bowls of cereal. It's already causing me to bloat and to gain weight (as gauged by a measuring tape round my hips and waist). Worse, it's making me crave more carbohydrates and feel constantly hungry, exactly the problems that went away when I follow primal faithfully.
So, getting back on the bandwagon asap. In fact it will have to be pretty strict for a few days, without snacks.

How is this night different than all other nights? Well, this night, all the social workers in Rwanda are celebrating Passover. Turns out a lot of them are Jewish:
For the fifth year in a row, we'll be sharing this holiday with our friends in Rwanda. We've mastered the art of home-baked matzo, printed up internet-available Haggadahs, and gotten over our longing for sweet kosher wine on the table. Unlike Ethiopia, and many other countries in Africa, there is no synagogue here and the community is fragmented. But the spirit of Passover is particularly strong. The holiday takes place just a few days from the start of the national commemoration of the 16th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide.
Rwandans feel a deep camaraderie with Jews. The connection dates back centuries and some Rwandans consider the Tutsis one of the lost tribes of Israel. One of the companies with which I work, Rwanda Ventures, employs an Israeli agronomist who is admired by farmers across the country (though he flew home for his Seder this year).
The Passover story resonates strongly with our Rwandan friends—even those who know almost nothing about modern Judaism—not only because they have known unspeakable oppression, but also because so many in their country remain enslaved by another oppressor: poverty. As we sit around our Passover tables with friends and families and make our Hillel sandwiches of matzo, bitter herbs and sweet charoset, we're reminded of the scholar's words more than two millennia ago: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And when I am for myself, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?"

The Faeman Quest
by Herbie Brennan (Author)
The Faeman Quest is the fifth book in Brennan's 'Faerie Wars' series, featuring Blue, Henry, their daughter Mella and Blue's brother Pyrgus, supported by a host of otherworldly characters. Despite having only read the first book in the series, this story still worked for me. The complex but well-structured plot made it a complete story, while also serving as a 'series instalment'. In fact, the story was more satisfying in some ways than the first book.
Opening with a teenage Mella, who is defying her parents by taking an unauthorised trip to the Analogue World (that's our world), which naturally goes all wrong, leading her into contact with some of the recurring villains from the series and to discover a plot to invade her home country using herds of fearsome monsters, as conceived by a cabal of power-hungry wizards.
Brennan goes on to serve up a feast of the imagination, with a hectic mix of scheming characters, comical dialogue and an array of inventive narrative devices born of a colourful blend of science and magic. It has a fast pace, a light-hearted tone and rich descriptive passages. The only real problem I had with the story was that there are a few key scenes, including a couple of really climactic ones at the end, which seemed to happen while the reader isn't looking. We are then told about them after the fact. This has the effect of distancing us from some of the most dramatic moments, and deflating the tension of the ending. Even so, this is a fine story, and I'd recommend this book for any fantasy fan of 10+.

Opposite to the chode, a chissy is a penis that is elongated and abnormally skinny, as to the point where it would be equivalent to 4 twizzlers melted together in single-file.
"Patrick, pick your chissy up in front of the ladies."

EPHRATA, Wash. - A car carrying two women and five children plunged into a swift-flowing irrigation canal, trapping them inside. The women managed to crawl through a window and float to safety, but the boys - ages 2 to 11 - never made it out.
"Five children is a traumatic thing," Grant County Undersheriff Mike Shay said after the bodies were recovered. "You look at those five kids, and you think of your own children and grandchildren."
Investigators were trying to determine what caused Tuesday night's accident about a mile north of this central Washington farm town. There was no indication alcohol was a factor. The car plunged into the cold waters of a V-shaped, concrete-lined canal that carries water from Grand Coulee Dam and nourishes tracts of fruit tree orchards, hay fields and row crops.
The women escaped through an open driver's side window and floated several hundred yards downstream before being pulled from the canal near Terry Catlin's home.
Catlin, an irrigation district employee and reserve sheriff's deputy, raced to the scene after telling his mother to call 911. The car was resting upside down under 20 feet of water on the floor of the canal.
The water was too swift for divers to try to remove the bodies, so they hooked up cables to the 1987 Chevrolet Spectrum and lifted it out nearly 90 minutes after the accident.
Shay found the bodies of the five boys in the back seat.
They were identified as Alexis Curiel, 2; Jose Curiel Jr., 4; Jose Chavez, 3; Martin Chavez, Jr., 2; and Victor Eduardo Chavez, 11.
Their mothers - the driver, Rosa Curiel, 24, and Maria Chavez, 32 - were treated at a hospital and released.

Francisco Vásquez de Coronado first explored the region for Spain in 1541. The U.S. acquired most of Oklahoma in 1803 in the Louisiana Purchase from France; the Western Panhandle region became U.S. territory with the annexation of Texas in 1845.
Set aside as Indian Territory in 1834, the region was divided into Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory on May 2, 1890. The two were combined to make a new state, Oklahoma, on Nov. 16, 1907.
On April 22, 1889, the first day homesteading was permitted, 50,000 people swarmed into the area. Those who tried to beat the noon starting gun were called "Sooners," hence the state's nickname.
The State of Oklahoma was organized as Indian Territory in 1834, the region was divided into Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory on May 2, 1890. It entered the union as the 46th state on November 16, 1907. It currently has 77 Counties.
Getting Started with Oklahoma Genealogy and Family Trees
Oklahoma Genealogy Tips & Hints – Most research begins in public records, since these are the most readily available of the online resources for Oklahoma genealogy. One of the most unique states has to be Oklahoma simply because it contains such a wide array of cultures. Equal parts farming and prairie as well as highlands and mountains, it has witnessed a lot of growth, immigration, and different periods of history. This is why people in search of their Native American, agricultural, or even military heritage will do a search for Oklahoma genealogy information.
Searching for Oklahoma Genealogy Data – Because most people head to their computer to do research, a lot of archives and libraries have ensured that access is available to their materials through the Internet. While it is a very effective way of allowing the most people to do their research, it is not yet something available with all resources; though most websites will identify the contents of their collections.
This means that it is necessary to spend time learning which resources for Oklahoma genealogy will be primarily online tools, and which require some sort of trip in order to retrieve the genealogy materials.
Resources for Oklahoma Genealogy Materials – Most state research tends to begin with public records, and these are usually divided into three categories. You should know the differences as you begin looking for Oklahoma genealogy materials.
- Local Records – state research will normally start at a county clerk's office or website, and will then head on to the small local libraries, historical societies, local genealogical societies, and school or college libraries for Oklahoma genealogy materials. These are items that are usually offline and viewable by appointment or special arrangement.
- Vital Records – these cover the birth, marriage, divorce and death records from county, state, and national archives. They can also include immigration and naturalization details, cemetery or obituary information, census records, newspaper items, military records, and passenger lists and records as well. These tend to be available as online or offline resources for Oklahoma genealogy.
- State Records – from probate information to private manuscripts, surname lists, newspapers, state census information, marriage details, military or veterans information, land records, maps, estate information, genealogical folders, death records, deeds, birth certificates, cemetery information and more; these are available as online and offline resources for Oklahoma genealogy.
Modern Tools for Oklahoma Genealogy Information – Where can you begin to find these records? Below is a list of the primary online resources for information for Oklahoma genealogy:
- Vital Records Service, State Department of Health, 1000 Northeast 10th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73117; Website: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w/oklahoma.htm. This is the location or website in which anyone can order birth, death, marriage and divorce records via a written request or even through an online form.
Additional state and local records can be found at the:
- Oklahoma State Archives, State Records Center, 426 East Hill Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73105-3298
All other collections and services are housed in the
- Allen Wright Memorial Library, 200 N.E. 18th Street., Oklahoma City, OK 73105-3298; Website: http://www.odl.state.ok.us/oar/resources/genealogy.htm.
Also, consider using the resources in the Oklahoma Genealogical Society website at: http://www.okgensoc.org/.

Oklahoma Ethnic Groups
A series entitled "Newcomers to a New Land" was sponsored by the Department of Libraries and the Oklahoma Library Association. These books analyze the role and impact of major ethnic groups in the state. The following are among volumes in the series:
- The Poles in Oklahoma. by Bernard, Richard. Norman, Okla.: University of Oklahoma Press, 1980.

Due to the government's regulations, modern-day Oklahoma includes members of 65 Native American tribes. The state contains traditional county and state records, but it also contains many Native American records. Those include many held at Ft. Worth's Southwest National Archives branch. The Bureau of Indian Affairs also houses a lot of records, with branches existing in all of the following: Anadarko, Ardmore, Concho, Okmulgee, Pawhuska, Pawnee, Miami, Shawnee, Stewart, Tahlequah, Talihina, Wewoka.
You can see George J. Nixon, "Records Relating to Native American Research: The Five Civilized Tribes" or Blessing, Oklahoma Records and Archives, and Koplowitz Guide to the Historical Records of Oklahoma for more information on Native American records for the area.
The FHL and the Oklahoma Historical Society library house some Native American census records. They can be found in order according to BIA agency, tribal name and enumeration date. It is possible for more than one agency to have a specific tribe's listings, due to changes made in agency jurisdictions over the years. Each tribe's census schedules from 1916 onward may list the names of individuals in alphabetical order.
If you are researching Native American ancestors, the land allotment records can be a great source of information. Any applicant trying to obtain land was required to provide a documented line of descent. Transfers of land after a death required the permission of any heirs that the original owner had, which meant that complete lists of heirs needed to be kept. There are later records called "Heirship Records" that contain a lot of information, including relationships, names and dates of birth. Although some individuals did get patents for their lands, most lands eventually became reabsorbed by the tribe that had jurisdiction over the land.
The top two sources for information on Native American records for the state of Oklahoma are the National Archives and the Oklahoma Historical Society's Indian Archives Division. Between them, they house the work of Grant Foreman and other private information collections, as well as many state government records.
The Oklahoma Historical Society's Archives and Manuscripts Division is home to about 6,000 bound volumes and 3,000,000 pages of information relation to Oklahoma's Indian Agencies and covering the years 1870 to 1930. Any archival records from 1860 to 1906 for the Seminole, Creek, Chicksaw, Choctaw and Cherokee nations are held at the archives. The archives is also home to Mekusukey Academy records and other special collections, as well as to agency records for the following tribes: Cheyenne, Cantonment, Pawnee, Quapaw, Chilocoo, Shawnee, Kiowa, Arapaho.
The collection includes Executive Library Cherokee Nation information spanning 1,4000 volumes. Also included in the collection are issues of the Cherokee Advocate newspaper, which began in 1844.
Records for the Cherokee nation and other tribes are maintained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. There are also Cherokee records available at the Cherokee Registration Office.

Rules Of A Wingman
Page 2 of 2
Rule #3: Be subtleIf you walk up to a woman and immediately start a conversation with "You know, a friend of mine really likes you," or something to that effect, you've sealed your partner's fate. Women are well aware of the wingman move, and you will find that most don't approve of it. They believe this shows a lack of courage and, worst of all, some see it as manipulation, and while that isn't true, it's always a bad idea to telegraph your status as a wingman. The key is to hide this fact and drop in subtle hints as the conversation progresses, so take your time and drop hints sporadically, all the while keeping the woman's attention. This can be difficult, but it helps to go in with a plan (see Rule #2), and if you stick to that plan, it's only a matter of timing and execution. Perhaps you're supposed to relate a story of how your buddy was "the perfect shoulder" for your sister, who recently suffered through a difficult breakup.
Just remember, this isn't your lead story; it's just something you work toward during the course of conversation — subtlety and patience.

Winning and Losing under the Americans with Disabilities Act
Ruth Colker
Ohio State University (OSU) - Michael E. Moritz College of Law
Ohio State Law Journal, Vol. 62
This article - a sequel to Professor Colker's article, The Americans with Disabilities Act: A Windfall for Defendants - analyzes appellate employment discrimination decisions in ADA cases that are available on Westlaw. She compares ADA judicial outcomes to those under other statutes, and suggests that ADA outcomes are more pro-defendant than outcomes under other civil rights statutes. She entertains and rejects one hypothesis for this result - that the ADA is a new statute experiencing an early period of judicial uncertainty. Having determined that judicial uncertainty has not been a factor in predicting ADA appellate outcomes, she uses a logistic regression analysis to determine what factors do predict ADA appellate outcomes. She concludes that the most important predictors of success by plaintiffs appear to be EEOC participation, being represented by counsel, and the circuit in which the plaintiff litigated. She found a modest trend toward certain types of disabilities associating with positive outcomes but predicts that those results are likely to disappear, or even reverse, in light of intervening Supreme Court decisions. Surprisingly, she did not find that the theory of disability or whether a plaintiff requested an accommodation was a significant factor in predicting appellate outcome.

FLINT, MI -- Here's something different.
A website you've probably never heard of that has probably never written about Flint before decided to weigh in on Vehicle City.
No, they didn't call us most horrible or awful or violent a no-good-very-bad-place.
This one was different. This time, they actually like us!
"20 Photos That Will Make You Fall In Love With Flint" was posted recently on the blog for the real estate site Movoto.
In a Buzzfeed-type fashion, the blog author Lauren Atkinson posted a list of Instagram photos taken from a variety of users in Flint and the surrounding area.
The pictures show a side of Flint often ignored by outsiders.
There are the downtown arches, the community fireworks celebration. Food and cars and festivals.
It may just be another quick blog post, far from an in-depth analysis of the city and it's highs and lows. But it's a welcome break form pieces like this. And this. And this.
What do you think? Is this a welcome change from the way most people write about Flint? Do you think we'll see more pieces like this in the future?
Let us know in the comments. And send us your own photos that make you fall in love with Flint and we'll share them in a photo gallery.

NEW YORK — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents and New York Police Department (NYPD) officers swarmed a six-story building in the heart of Chinatown Monday evening with search warrants to seize proceeds from an illegal gambling parlor. Nearly half of the building was used for illegal gambling activities.
In connection with the search, HSI special agents and NYPD officers arrested 11 people involved in the illegal gambling operations on New York State charges that are being prosecuted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. They also seized approximately $163,000 in gambling proceeds. In addition, the special agents and officers seized large numbers of gambling tables and other gambling materials. The New York Attorney General's Office simultaneously arrested two people for practicing medicine without a license, in the building.
"ICE Homeland Security Investigations and the NYPD have shut down one of the largest unlicensed casino operations in New York City's recent history," said James T. Hayes, Jr., special agent in charge of HSI New York. "We will continue to work with the NYPD to uncover these types of criminal enterprises and put them out of business."
"The defendants in this case continued to operate an illegal gambling business, even after previous seizures of hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling proceeds at the same location. Now, that building will be forfeited," said Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., Manhattan district attorney. "I thank our partners in law enforcement for their assistance and collaboration in helping us combat criminal activity in Chinatown."
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced today the filing of a civil complaint seeking the forfeiture of the six-story Chinatown building, located at 35-37 East Broadway. The building is alleged to have been in the site of a pervasive network of illegal gambling activities.
According to the civil forfeiture complaint, which was filed today in Manhattan federal court, during the course of at least the last two years, the building has consistently hosted a group of illegal gambling operators offering various gambling options, including pai gow poker and computer-based slot machine games, in nearly half of the building's suites. The building itself has been modified to accommodate these gambling operations, including the creation of a ground floor slots room hosting computers dedicated to slot machine games and the installation of surveillance cameras throughout areas of the building dedicated to gambling.
Illegal gambling operators have continued to use the building despite two separate searches conducted by law enforcement in 2011 that resulted in the seizure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling proceeds. Their gambling operations continued at the building as recently as yesterday, when HSI, in cooperation with the NYPD, executed a search warrant for multiple locations within the building, as well as a related gambling site.
SAC Hayes, Jr., praised the efforts of HSI special agents, the NYPD, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for the dismantling of this illegal gambling ring.

Kittens and Friends,
The kits are available for order again. It is open to the public via KitOrder.com. We decided to to a chance and make long sleeve jerseys and jackets available for those who want them. The order closes in May and will take about 8 weeks from there. Once the order is closed, it's closed. We are not getting extras. Make sure you get in on this if you want something.
We are having a party at Loretta's in South Park on Saturday, April 14th at 5pm for those of you who need to try on kits and/or like to drink. You should come.
I'm getting as many kit samples as I can, but there were lots of things that they didn't have on hand right now (sadly, lots of the women's stuff), but the men's sizing is almost exact or very close across the board. This will be everyone's first chance to try on the new jackets and long sleeve jerseys to see if you like them too.
If you are comfortable with the sizing and what you need, you can order here:

Johnny – Once the order goes in, it will take about 8 weeks or so to turn it around for Hincapie. I'm afraid that it wouldn't be ready in time for you.

quote Shadow ScorcherWhich you should know from CC by now.I tend to think that a quote with just 2 words and/or a smiley is pushing the boundaries a bit..
quote ZazomyI hadn't thought of this.Hate the be the burster of bubbles, but do we even have enough active/regular members posting on this forum to have these awards?
This is the sort of thing you need lots of members for, not just for voting, but also for the rewards themselves. I remember the previous awards competitions, there were a lot of different awards, this time around, there would probably be more awards than members.
quote ZazomyI think we have plenty. I mean, if we just count the regulars that come every day, we have an ok amount.Well back in the MHF days, on the MHF forum, we had a lot more members, plenty of regulars, it was perfect for this sort of competition, and it worked, everyone voted, most people got a reward of some sort. Only problem now is, with so few people, there isn't just a lack of people to vote, there's a lack of people to actually win awards.
At this rate there could be some people winning 3 awards each or something.
quote XWell since we have a smaller community this time, we can't have as much award options.there may be an OK amount here... But there were LOADS of people back in MHF/MHF2
Seriously. We could have about 15-20 awards and it would be enough for 1 each. With some newer people getting nothing.
quote MachienzoYou bet. We just need to spread the awards around, like Zaz said in the GD, or else some members will win 4 or 5 awards.Now that you mention it, there weren't exactly amazing amounts of participation in the Raffle. Just a few outsiders and some new folk, with the occasional "Oldie".
You guys will try extra hard for this one, right?

The ammunition traveled through his shoulder and into his jaw, but he was expected to recover.

AFTER ten years, four investigations and two trials, Shirley McKie and her family yesterday dropped their campaign for a public inquiry into why the former policewoman was wrongly accused of leaving her fingerprint at a murder scene.
The misidentification of Ms McKie's fingerprint at the Kilmarnock home of murder victim Marion Ross in 1997 prompted one of the biggest scandals in Scottish legal history.
Ms McKie was accused of lying about her presence at the murder scene and tried for perjury. But after years of police investigations, it was proved the fingerprint was not hers.
Both the justice minister at the time and the Lord Advocate were forced to apologise and last year Ms McKie was paid 750,000 in compensation. Most recently there has been a parliamentary inquiry into the case.
But Ms McKie and supporters say they have never been given an explanation of why the misidentification happened, nor why it took the establishment so long to admit there was a mistake, and through it all have called for a public inquiry.
However, a decade after the murder of Ms Ross, the family have decided that enough is enough.
"We have given ten years of our lives to this and we are not giving any more. It is the politicians' job now to do something about it," said her father, Ian McKie .
"It is not our role to fight for justice; it is their role."
Mr McKie, 67, said that on 9 January, 2007 - exactly ten years after the murder investigation began - he and his family will end their campaign.
He added: "The experience has so put us off that, come the tenth anniversary of the Marion Ross case, we're finished.
"My daughter is not going back to another inquiry to be vilified.
"[She] has spoken the truth from the beginning, but she is still being called a liar."
While there has not been a public inquiry into the case, MSPs on parliament's justice 1 committee investigated the Scottish fingerprint service. But when Ms McKie, 44, from Troon, Ayrshire gave evidence to the committee, there were angry clashes with some MSPs as she accused them of putting her on trial again.
However, Mike Russell, the former SNP MSP who has campaigned for Ms McKie, said questions remain over why politicians failed to deal with the case sooner.
"What I would really want to see is, even if there is no public inquiry, that this never happens again and I am not confident that is the case yet, because the political lessons have not been learned. It is still possible for political evasions, lies and deceits to be repeated," he said.
The Shirley McKie case has dragged on for a decade and involved senior legal and political figures.
• February 1997: Marion Ross found murdered. Ms McKie accused of leaving a fingerprint at scene. Later goes off work, depressed.
• July 1997: Professor Colin Espie, a psychology expert , reports that Ms McKie is "telling the truth".
• March 1998: Ms McKie arrested in a dawn raid. Charged with perjury.
• May 1999: Ms McKie cleared of perjury.
• July 1999: Lord Advocate refuses to order an inquiry into Scottish Criminal Record Office (SCRO).
• December 1999: Ms McKie discharged from Strathclyde Police on medical grounds.
• June 2000: Then justice minister Jim Wallace, confirms print was not Ms McKie's. Tayside Police boss James Mackay is instructed to investigate SCRO .
• October 2000: Mr Mackay reports to the Crown Office.
• August 2002: David Asbury's conviction for Ms Ross's murder is quashed.
• February 2003: Ms McKie loses her action against Strathclyde Police.
• December 2003: Lord Wheatley allows Ms McKie to take her case against the SCRO to Court of Session.
• February 2006: Scottish Executive settles Ms McKie's civil case against the SCRO.
• April 2006: Scottish Parliament's Justice 1 Committee begin their own inquiry.
• December 2006: McKie family drop calls for a public inquiry.
• February 2007: The parliamentary inquiry is expected to report.

Rise in New Catholic Priests — Following a national trend, the Catholic Diocese of Arlington is seeing a rise in the ordination of new priests. Bishop Paul Loverde is scheduled to ordain seven men to the local priesthood on Saturday, bringing the number of new priests ordained since 2012 to 20. [Catholic Diocese of Arlington]
No Big Buses on the Pike, Yet — There's a reason why there are no articulated buses running down the Columbia Pike corridor, at least not yet. For one, standard bus service is sufficient at this time. Another reason: there's no local storage space for big articulated buses. [Greater Greater Washington]

A small group of local Catholics is asking Pope Francis to consider selecting a new Arlington bishop who will bring a "fresh view" to the area.
The current bishop of the Diocese of Arlington, Paul Loverde, is 74. As is customary for Catholic bishops, after he turns 75 in September he will be expected to submit his resignation for the pope's consideration.
"A few faithful Catholic individuals who live in the Arlington Diocese" have created a letter of "requested considerations in selecting the next bishop," to be sent to Pope Francis, and are asking for those who agree with them to sign on to the letter online via a dedicated website, novabishop.org.
(The site has been taken down since ARLnow.com declined the request of one of the organizers, Frederick Pugarelli, to discuss the contents of this article before its publication.)
Loverde has been outspoken in his opposition to abortion, gay marriage and pornography. The letter does not mention any of those sometimes-divisive issues. Instead, it references local issues like poverty, diversity, hunger, homelessness and affordable housing.
The letter supports the pope's stated criteria for bishop selection and asks the Church to consider a bishop who will emphasize humility over politics.
"Being a satellite of Washington, there is a natural focus on power, influence, and bureaucracy," the letter states. "Unfortunately, this can permeate clergy and laity attitudes resulting in clericalism on the one hand and politicalization of the laity on the other. The Gospel message of humility and servant ministry is needed as a counter-balance to both clericalism and politicalization."
"We further urge… the new Bishop be someone who comes to the Diocese with a fresh view of the challenges and the potential of our Catholic community," the letter concludes. "Thank you, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you, with the assurance that we will welcome with love and respect whomever you appoint."
Via email, Pugarelli said the following of the letter and its writers:
This was not done by a group; just by a few faithful Catholic individuals who live in the Arlington Diocese. Recognizing that Bishop Loverde will be taking a well-earned retirement at some point in the future, we wanted to specifically support Pope Francis' criteria for selecting a new Bishop and to note some of the challenges that exist in the Northern Virginia community as a whole.
Hopefully as lay people we have crafted a request that is respectful and also supportive of the Church's selection process for new diocesan bishops. We purposely avoided seeking any group label or even associating it with particular individuals' names lest people try to discern whether this is "moderate," "liberal," conservative," "traditional," or any other label other than just "Catholic." This is simply what it is, a respectful request we wanted to offer to other lay Catholics in the Arlington Diocese to show their support for Pope Francis' criteria and the selection process. They can choose to sign it or not; to create their own letters/requests or not.
(Updated at 4:20 p.m.) A potential scandal is brewing at Arlington's private Bishop O'Connell High School.
An alumni group is asking the Vatican to look into a slew of incidents they say has tarnished the private Catholic school's reputation.
The group, led by former basketball player Brian Culhane, has sent a "fat package of allegations and grievances" to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which oversees issues of morality in the Roman Catholic Church, according to an investigative report by the sports gossip website Deadspin.
The allegations surround the varsity basketball team and its head coach, Joe Wootten.
According to Deadspin, Wootten allowed since-convicted heroin and cocaine trafficker Curtis Malone, the founder of the amateur hoops powerhouse D.C. Assault, to practice and visit the school.
Deadspin reports that Wootten sought the transfer of Congolese basketball player Junior Etou, who was the key figure on the team's 2013 Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship. The site found that Etou was very likely 21 years old when he played for O'Connell, two years too old to be eligible for high school play.
Etou, who was living with Malone at the time, produced a passport and visa that said he was born in 1994. While he was living in the Congo, however, he had earlier provided a birth certificate to basketball's governing body stating he was born in 1992.
The report also alleges a cover-up by school officials after two basketball players allegedly filmed a sex act with a female student at the school. The players transferred before the last school year. Via Deadspin:
The talk was that Wootten's latest exiles had left under an ugly cloud — that one of the players had shot a video in which a female student performed oral sex on the other player inside the school, then, according to an O'Connell employee, "posted his work on Instagram." All of those alleged to be involved were juveniles and underclassmen.
Students found to have committed what is described in memos from O'Connell alumni to school and local Catholic officials as "a sexually immoral act" on campus are generally expelled, Culhane says; however, according to the rumors, the two boys were allowed to leave without any formal finding, while the girl alleged to have been involved remained enrolled at O'Connell. Culhane says alums who inquired about the incident were told by school administrators that she faced no punishment because "the [sex] act was not consensual." Yet no charges were ever filed.
The Arlington County Police Department investigated the video, but spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said no charges were filed and the identity of the subjects could not be revealed because they were minors.
The confluence of events — without a satisfactory response from O'Connell administration of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington — prompted Culhane and his alumni to request Pope Francis step in. If the CDF and the Vatican decide it's worth pursuing, according to Deadspin, it will compel Bishop Paul Loverde to investigate the school and the program.
O'Connell administration has not responded to a request for comment.
Update at 4:20 p.m. — The Catholic Diocese of Arlington has provided ARLnow.com with the following statement:
The Diocese of Arlington regrets that concerns about the basketball program at Bishop O'Connell remain a source of frustration for some members of the school community.
As stated previously in 2013, Bishop O'Connell received official documentation regarding the age of former student Junior Etou, confirming his eligibility to participate in athletics during the 2012-13 academic year.
With regard to any allegations involving other students, the Diocese of Arlington cannot comment on individual disciplinary matters. As a matter of policy and practice if a school has reason to believe a student's actions have violated the law, the proper law enforcement agency is contacted.

The Rev. Horace "Tuck" Grinnell, who has served as the pastor for St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Virginia Square since 2010, has been transferred out of Arlington in the aftermath of the church's impending school closing.
Grinnell sent a letter to his parishioners in the church's June newsletter announcing he would be transferring to a church in Rappahannock County, Va., but he said the decision was made by Arlington Diocese Bishop Paul Loverde without his consent.
"The alleged reason the Bishop gave for my transfer — against my will — was that I was not a sufficient supporter of Catholic education," Grinnell wrote. "This is untrue, as I demonstrated to him and his advisors. I have been pastor of Parishes with Catholic schools for the past 28 years and in every parish I have been in I have worked to support and increase the enrollment of each school… Both the Bishop and the Superintendent of Catholic schools not only signed off on, but were in agreement to, the closing of the school."
The school announced it would be closing its K-8 school in January due to a lack of enrollment. In the school's announcement, Grinnell said a private school needed to operate at 90 percent capacity to remain viable, but the 117 students this school year only brought the school to 57 percent capacity. "No Catholic school can survive with such low numbers," he wrote at the time.
The church announced it would restructure the school as an early childhood center, in a letter to parents given to children in their backpacks. Some parents said the closure was announced too abruptly, without allowing its community to have any input.
"[F]or things to end this way is unacceptable and disrespectful," A parent, Kayleen Fitzgerald, wrote in a letter to ARLnow.com in January. "We were never afforded the respect and dignity to be invited into the process. We were never given financial information or analyses. We were never notified of the warnings that were apparently delivered from the Diocese to the school. We were never rallied and given a goal to try to attain. We were never given a chance to go down swinging."
The Catholic Diocese of Arlington declined to comment on why Grinnell was transferred, saying "Bishop Loverde is attending the USCCB Spring General Assembly, and it is the policy of the Diocese of Arlington not to discuss personnel matters," through its spokesman, Michael Donohue.
Grinnell went on to say he believed the decision to transfer him to a church more than 80 miles away was not justified based on how he handled church operations.
"They wanted me out of the parish," he said. "In the end, I truly believe that this transfer was 'personal' and not 'business'… I love you, the people of St. Charles, and I will miss you! I had hoped to continue to minister here until I turned 75 in eight years. It is not to be. As one of my uncles used to say, 'paybacks are hell!'"
The Most Rev. Paul S. Loverde, Bishop of Arlington, issued a statement (below) last night on the appointment of the new Pope.
Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, is the Catholic church's 266th pontiff, and the first from Latin America.
Habemus Papam! I rejoice that Pope Francis has answered the Lord's call to serve as Successor to Saint Peter, the Vicar of Christ on earth. On behalf of the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Diocese of Arlington, I offer our new Pope Francis the support of our daily prayers, loyalty and fidelity.
As the white smoke billowed forth from the chimney and the bells of the Basilica began to ring jubilantly, I eagerly awaited the announcement of our new Pope. When he walked out onto the balcony, my heart was filled with joy. In his first moments as our Pontiff, I was so touched by Pope Francis' humble petition that we first pray for him, before he then bestowed his first papal blessing on the world.
This is a very exciting and hope-filled time for Catholics the world over, and most assuredly for our brothers and sisters in Latin America who cannot but take great delight in the election of a native son from Argentina. Throughout my life, I have become increasingly aware how the Lord has provided for the Church the shepherd best suited to the particular needs and challenges of the time. I know that this is the case once more. I ask our diocesan family of faith to join me in continued prayers for the pontificate of Pope Francis and for the entire Church.

Today, Pope Benedict XVI announced that he would resign the papal office at the end of the month.
The Pope said his age and declining energy level is preventing him from carrying out the duties of the office. The announcement surprised many local Catholics, including leaders of local parishes.
"With the startling news that Pope Benedict is resigning at the end of the month, we pray for the church and its leaders to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in choosing a new Pope," Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church, at 2700 19th Street S., said on its Facebook page.
This afternoon, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington also commented on the Pope's announcement.
In a statement, Bishop Paul S. Loverde said Catholics are "deeply grateful for his eight years of faithful and selfless service."
As I reflect on the life and ministry of Pope Benedict XVI, I am unfailingly impressed by his serenity; a quiet, peaceful yet certain manner of speaking and acting. This serenity is rooted in his deep faith in the Lord Jesus, a faith that underlies hope and leads to love of God and neighbor. His decision to resign the Petrine Ministry on February 28th reflects this spirit of serenity.
Certainly, we are deeply grateful for his eight years of faithful and selfless service so evident in his homilies, encyclicals and addresses; in his numerous trips around the world, including his visit to our country in 2008; and his sensitive and pastoral concern for the faithful world-wide.
Thinking of the welfare of the Church which he loves so dearly and is serving so faithfully, our Holy Father is confident that his stepping aside for the election of a new pope truly will benefit the Church and allow him to continue his ministry of prayer for the Church.
I urge my brothers and sisters in the Church and beyond to pray for the welfare of Pope Benedict XVI and also to ask the Holy Spirit, Who inspired the Pope's decision, to guide the Cardinals in the upcoming Conclave to elect a new Vicar of Christ and successor to St. Peter. With a similar serenity of spirit, let us pray for and support the Holy Father each day as he moves forward into a new chapter in his journey of faith. We remain confident about the future, recalling Christ's words: "Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (cf. Mt 28:20).

A group of nuns critical of Republican budget plans launched a one-day bus tour of Virginia today (Friday) in Arlington.
The advocacy group Nuns on the Bus held a reception, speaking program and press conference this morning at St. Charles Borromeo Church (3304 Washington Blvd) near Clarendon. The event was the launch of a one-day bus tour of Virginia, which includes planned stops in Richmond and Virginia Beach.
A reported crowd of nearly 200 supporters, and a few critics, turned out for the event. The nuns spoke about "moral budget priorities" and argued against cutting social welfare programs — a move they say would "further [enrich] the wealthiest Americans at the expense of struggling, impoverished families." They singled out the budget proposal of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan as a plan that would hurt the needy.
A few protesters held signs at the rally critical of the Obama administration's requirement that larger employers — including some religious employers — pay for for health insurance that includes coverage of contraception.

The Catholic Diocese of Arlington announced today that it is suing Arlington County.
The suit was filed in response to the County Board's denial of a request by Bishop O'Connell high school to add lights to its athletic fields.
The Diocese issued the following statement tonight about its legal action.
"The Catholic Diocese of Arlington has filed an action in Arlington County Circuit Court challenging the Arlington County Board of Supervisors' March 15, 2011, denial of a proposal to add lighting to existing athletic fields at Bishop J. O'Connell High School in Arlington – the addition of which would afford its students the same opportunities as public high schools in the region.
Arlington County had previously approved similar lights at its own public high schools which, like Bishop O'Connell, are located adjacent to residential neighborhoods. In fact, the fields of the public high schools – Washington-Lee, Yorktown and Wakefield – are close to a greater number of homes than those of Bishop O'Connell, as O'Connell's football field is located across the street from a county elementary school and park.
As a matter of law and of fundamental fairness, there is no reasonable basis for the Board to treat Bishop O'Connell in a very different manner than the county treats its own high schools. The Diocese's circuit court complaint, filed April 12, 2011, notes that "Bishop O'Connell and the County's public high schools are similarly situated in all relevant respects with regard to lighted athletic fields. The Board's denial treats Bishop O'Connell and the Diocese, religious institutions, on terms that are different from the public high schools."
The Board's denial of Bishop O'Connell's application for a Use Permit amendment therefore was discriminatory, the complaint concludes, because "there is no basis, rational or otherwise, for the Board's discrimination between such applications."
"We want to continue to improve the school and continue to offer an excellent faith-based education to the citizens of Arlington who choose it for their children," said diocesan Superintendent of Schools Sr. Bernadette McManigal, B.V.M. "Athletics are but one aspect of a total high school education, but it is an important one. Allowing us to improve the athletic fields helps us to continue to offer excellent faith-based education."
The proposed lighting would benefit not only Bishop O'Connell students, but the whole community, as the proposal included use of the fields by Arlington County's recreation department. The fields also could be used by Marymount University's NCAA Division III track, field hockey and baseball teams.
Bishop O'Connell has been located on the same site on Little Falls Road in Arlington for 50 years. It is one of five Catholic schools in Arlington County – Bishop O'Connell and four parochial elementary/middle schools – with a combined enrollment of 2,140 students. Based upon the Arlington Public Schools' expenditures per student, these five Catholic schools save the taxpayers over $41.7 million per year. Bishop O'Connell alone saves taxpayers over $21 million per year."
Earlier this week county officials declined to comment about the suit.

That stone now sits near a steel beam from the World Trade Center, in a field outside Fire Station 5 in Pentagon City. The county is planning to landscape the area around the two memorials, in advance of the upcoming 10th anniversary of Sept. 11. [Arlington Connection]

Whipple Fights Abortion Amendment — Arlington's retiring state Sen. Mary Margaret Whipple is fighting an amendment inserted into a General Assembly-approved bill by Gov. Bob McDonnell. The bill would establish a health insurance exchange in Virginia as part of the federal health care reform law. However, McDonnell's amendment would prohibit any insurance plan in the exchange from offering coverage for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at risk. [Washington Post]
Arlington Diocese Fights Porn — The Catholic Diocese of Arlington continues its campaign against "the very real danger of pornography in our culture" with a blog post. The post notes that an anti-porn pamphlet authored by Bishop Paul Loverde is so popular that it's now in its second printing. Also, the post says that Bishop Loverde has been active in the fight against pornography on cell phones. [Encourage and Teach]
Heavy Rains Bring Flooding — Persistent, often heavy rain made for a miserable weekend weather-wise. But the real misery is happening in nearby Alexandria, where part of Old Town is under more than a foot of water. More from NBC4.
Board Passes Temporary Snow Removal Ordinance — The Arlington County Board passed a 60-day emergency snow removal ordinance by a vote of 3-2. Dissenting board members Jay Fisette and Barbara Favola joined the Arlington Chamber of Commerce in questioning why an ordinance should be rushed into law, saying it will be difficult to enforce in the unlikely event that Arlington gets a significant snowfall between now and May.
Arlington Diocese Declares Monday a Day of Prayer — Bishop Paul Loverde says Arlington Catholics should pray and fast today (Monday) to ask God for passage of a health care bill that does not "come at the expense of the respect for life at all stages, from natural conception to natural death." More from LifeSiteNews.
Arlington's Catholic churches were busy today as the faithful arrived to receive the traditional smudge of ash on their foreheads. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, and the ashes serve as a sign of repentance.

I am a self-taught artist. I started painting when my partner and I moved into a new house and as money was tight I painted some pictures to decorate our home. The painting became a passion for me and 15 years later I am still going. I started with abstract painting, just experimenting with colour. I am now enjoying painting landscapes, seascapes, people and animals. I have recently been having fun painting pet portraits and am happy to take commissions.
I have been told my style is naive. My inspiration comes from the painters, Alfred Wallis and Christopher Wood among many. The area where I live along the East Coast of England provides me with plenty of inspiration. I enjoy painting with both oil and acrylic and currently I am painting on cardboard as I like the textures it gives.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work.

Statement of Purpose
The Holocaust Studies Program of the Western Galilee College located in Acco (Acre) Israel is planning an international interdisciplinary conference and workshop to be held on 26-28th January 2010 in conjunction with International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Holocaust survivors and their testimonies have been, for many years, key factors in Holocaust memorial culture. As survivors are passing away the focus moves to the legacy they leave us: especially in the forms of written, audio and video testimonies. Work on survivor testimonies is done by historians, literary analysts, linguists, cultural critics and psychologists. The rich and varied and corpus of testimonies requires a joint effort of researchers across disciplines to enable us to hear new voices of survivors articulated through their testimonies.
This conference aims at bringing together scholars who will present their work on testimonies and discuss new ways of studying testimonies and using them in new Holocaust research and education.
The Conference
In order for the conference to make an impact on Holocaust research and benefit the public discourse as well, a double-tiered conference is planned. There will be workshops for researchers where in-depth presentations and discussions will take place and then one day of presentations and lectures open to the general public.
The conference will be conducted in English. The open public day will be conducted in English and Hebrew with simultaneous translation.
We welcome proposals for papers that address the conference theme, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Methodological issues
• Oral testimonies, Memoirs, Life stories, diaries
• Early and late testimonies
• Different approaches to testimony analysis
• Place of testimonies in Holocaust research
• Historical value of testimonies
• Testimonies reflecting culture and identity issues
• Age and gender issues.
• Authenticity, verification and faked memories

Five quick hits from Nick Saban's Monday press conference:
1. Well it's finally LSU week. The game that's been circled, starred, highlighted, whatever-ed on every college football fan's calendar for quite some time. Probably since the last time these two played each other for the national championship in January.
During his weekly Monday press conference, Alabama head coach Nick Saban described what kind of team his Crimson Tide will be up against Saturday night in Death Valley:
"These guys have obviously been pretty successful at home. They've got the longest winning streak in the country (22 games)," he said. "Les Miles, to me, has done as good a job in our league as anybody ever has in terms of what he's been able to accomplish and the consistency that they've accomplished as a team."
Saban is huge on consistency, so anything regarding that topic on a positive note is quite a compliment.
"They've still got great running backs and they're still able to run the ball very effectively," he continued. "The line of scrimmage in this game, on both sides of the ball, is probably one of the most important factors in this game.
"They're a ball-hawking, big-turnover type of defense that creates a lot of negative plays for you. They still have really good explosive players on offense to make big plays down the field. If you're trying to load up to stop the run, you create problems for yourself."
2. Nothing new on the injury front. It's the ninth week of the season and football players around the country are nursing bumps and bruises. Quarterback A.J. McCarron, who hurt his knee against Missouri and has been wearing a brace ever since, has a back contusion (really deep bruise) from getting sacked against Mississippi State, and wide receiver Amari Cooper has a sore ankle.
"We look for them to progress pretty rapidly through the week and be OK, probably even by tomorrow," Saban said.
3. With all the Heisman hype surrounding McCarron, who's thrown 18 touchdowns to zero interceptions this season, Saban was asked if it's a good or bad thing for his quarterback to labeled as a "game manager."
"To me, you can't be a good quarterback unless you're a good game manager," he said. "Because you've got the ball in your hands every time and you're making some kind of choice and decision of what to do with it.
"I don't think it's fair to AJ that because I said he's a really good game manager for us that it's like that means he doesn't do anything. He does everything. I don't think you can be a good quarterback unless you're a really good game manager. That's the ultimate compliment to me."
4. Because of Alabama and LSU's recent history, of course this weekend's matchup will be emotional. However, Saban is doing everything he can to make sure his team doesn't get too hyped up, and that they realize this game against the Tigers is just like any other Saturday.
"I think there is such a thing as almost being too ramped up for a game," he said.
5. Alabama ranks No. 1 in the country in red zone efficiency, scoring 97 percent of the time. This season, the Tide has scored 26 touchdowns compared to eight field goals. Obviously scoring a touchdown is ideal when inside the opponent's 20, but in last year's regular season matchup, Alabama only got inside the red zone once and settled for a field goal.
"It's our goal offensively to be 90 percent effective in the red zone," Saban said. "We have made improvements. It's pretty obvious that when you score touchdowns, it's worth twice as much as field goals. So that's always the goal every time you get there."
