WARREN - A skeleton crew from CBS News' "60 Minutes" spent Monday morning filming Congressman Timothy J. Ryan, D-Howland, as he spoke about his philosophy of mindfulness with a class of first-graders at Warren Lincoln K-8.
Meditation and critical thinking are not foreign concepts to the two dozen students in Diane Holland's class. In fact, during Ryan's visit, several of the students were taking advantage of the "peace corner," where they are able to sort through issues with one another in a calm and respectful manner.
"It started for me four years ago when my son was deployed to Afghanistan as a U.S. Marine. I needed something for myself to remain calm, and turned to meditation and yoga. Now it works for the children," Holland said.

U.S. Rep. Timothy J. Ryan, D-Howland, chats with Warren Lincoln K-8 first-grader Rose Strother after talking with the class about mindfulness. Iokasti Tsantes, center, and Everett Miranda, right, are also pupils in Diane Holland's class.
She implements the "Skills for Life" curriculum with her students that includes practices like the peace corner, speaking in calm tones, and spending three minutes "belly breathing" to soothe and refocus the students after their lunch break. Holland said she has seen great improvement with the class, including better test scores, since Ryan's first visit to the class in the fall.
"I have hard data on it. We've had no office referrals. They solve their own problems with each other," she said.
The students in her class, were excited to share what they have learned from the stress reduction practices with the television crew, she said.
Ryan has been preaching mindfulness for the past several years, having authored the book "A Mindful Nation" on the topic.
"It's not a quick fix or a fad science. It changes how the brain works," Ryan said.
As part of the "60 Minutes" program, Ryan was also filmed in California at a retreat teaching workers from Google, Yahoo and other technology-based companies about mindfulness.
"If that is what Google is looking for, we need to start teaching our kids now," he said.
Ryan will also be filmed discussing the performance improving practices in Washington with his congressional counterparts.
"It's the same thing, to learn how to respond versus to react," he said.
Ryan said his initial focus is on students, and on veterans who are at risk for committing suicide, an action he said the mindfulness techniques can be useful in deterring.
Ryan was also filmed at the General Motors Corp. Lordstown Complex for the show.
The footage will be aired in the fall in a segment hosted by Anderson Cooper.

When we're sick, our hair remains in a messy pony, but not Jennifer Lawrence. The ailing actress pairs classic red lips (exact shade: Dior Rouge Dior Lipcolor in Favori Red) with over-the-shoulder waves. Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend used lots of Dove Color Care Leave On Conditioner, plus Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse before blow-drying and curling the star's hair.

DJ Hideo, a disc jockey based in LA, California, has died on Saturday, April 24. DJ Hideo had fought a year long hard fight against colon cancer. Hideo died at the age of 41.
DJ Hideo died in hospital. His close friend revealed that he gave instructions to his doctors and nurses. Hideo told his doctors not to revive him if he died. He refused to see visitors during his last hours as he was in great pain. Hideo finally passed away in Mission Hospital, in Orange County, California, on April 23.
Hideo knew he was in a bad way when he checked into Mission Hospital. He felt weak, although his doctors said his vital signs were stable. Hideo used a ventilator to breathe during his last few days in hospital.
When Hideo was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2009, he was already in stage 4 of the disease. He tried to fight his cancer and his medical bills escalated to over $1 million. His family maintains his website, DJHideo.com, through which they are accepting donations. In addition to covering his medical, they have to pay for his funeral.
DJ Hideo, RIP.

Mike Millbury, an NHL stalwart, just got away by the skin of his legal teeth recently for grabbing a 12-year-old boy at a youth hockey game. In Massachusetts, one hockey parent killed a walk-on ref in a pick-up game. Tragic, all the way around, the son of the parent who struck the fatal blows, Quinlan Junta, never visited his father in jail, and his father, who was released in 2010, never went to his son's recent court hearings for armed robbery to support his drug habit. Quinlan died just this past October of unknown reasons.
Or there is the mother who kicked an 11-year-old in a Little League game, apparently because her son was not inflicting enough punishment on the other boy. Another of the wild ones was the town police officer in Ohio who beat a coach.
We read these every so often, and if you have a child involved in youth sports, or even if you don't and just go down for the local game, there is always some parent, more vocal than all the rest. I can understand complaints from a former NFL player if his son is playing in a mismanaged football game, or a former Maryland field hockey player being upset with a ruling at her daughter's match. At least they have some solid experience. But how many of us know a parent who sounds off but warmed a bench or never played at all? Regardless, the emotional investment of the parents has seemed to have ramped up dramatically, far past the level of the kids, sometimes to dangerous levels.

Therefore, when I first started to cover racing and had the chance to visit the Hagerstown Quarter Midget track, I was half expecting to see a duplicate of this type behavior pop up eventually. What could be different about the dynamics except the sport itself? I'm not a sports psychologist but there is a difference, and it's big enough to see just walking in. There are two forces at work. Preparing the car, and helping those who are racing.
One group of parents is working with their kids changing tires, tightening bolts or changing springs, another group officiating while others watch their kids race. And if one of the cars develops a problem, it's all parents on deck. The father of the race leader is just as apt to help the second-place runner as anyone.
Maybe it is that. The parents are not some bunch of idling, fingernail-chewing, scholarship-wishing spectators crowding the stands and sidelines. They're the officers of the club, they man the concession stand and they work on the cars with their kids. Here, it is about the children. If you want to spend an inordinate amount of time with your child, seeing them every night in the garage and the pits on weekends you could hardly do worse than Quarter Midget racing. On the whole, at a youth sporting event, I've never seen kids and parents having more fun, win or lose.
The biggest thing in participating is to start planning now. They have Novice classes beginning in late March. Without these, basically, you can't race. The ages for participation are 5 to 16, and the need for formal training is self-evident. For more information, e-mail HQMA Vice President, Keith Leydig at firstname.lastname@example.com .
A couple of notes on safety.
First, these are lawnmower-engine powered race cars, not slightly cut down, ful-powered race cars, and they do not achieve anything like high speed. Secondly, statistically, quarter midget racing is safer than your more typical stick and ball sports.
Another benefit is the deep focus on sportsmanship and fair play. Why is that important? I'll go right to the two headlights on the race car to obscurity - Kurt and Kyle Busch. Kurt, having moved on from Penske Racing, is now moving further down the totem pole to Phoenix racing, which is pretty much like going from the Yankees to the Single-A Lansing Lugnuts. Phoenix Racing has been around for 20 years but so have been some Twinkies, forgotten on a shelf. The press releases that were put out were nice enough, but I'm sure Vegas odds makers have good numbers on him folding by the middle of the season.
Right behind him on the tote boards is Kyle, who may have to withdraw from his Truck and Nationwide rides for 2012, per JGR. He's about one incident from M&M's and JGR bouncing him out of the No.18 and the 2012 season if he's not careful.
They didn't go through quarter midget racing, like many of the modern breed of drivers such as Joey Logano. They grew up in their father's race garage in the world of adult race tracks with racers whose racing values systems is not necessarily conducive to teaching young boys about sportsmanship. Why is that important? Beyond the lifelong learning experience we want all our children to receive, if your child wants to continue in racing, to win, they need to be able to race quality equipment with top funded teams and have the respect of the other drivers in the pits. Learning, at a young age, those priceless qualities of sportsmanship is tantamount to success.
Remember, if you don't have dirt on ya, it wasn't a race.

We ordered this tiara for our Homecoming Queen. It was beautiful, in perfect condition, and was visible from the stands without being too big and gaudy. It fit the size of head very well and was very easy to wear without slipping around on the girl's head. I would definitely order it again for our Prom Queen or any other event. We presented it on a blue velvet pillow, and it was large enough to be sparkly and visible to the spectators - but once the queen was crowned, it looked appropriate to the size of her head.

You had me on edge from the start of the chapter to the end! I can't wait for more. I love how now that Lavender is "stable" she is insisting on talking to Harry about what has been going on since his absence. Lets not worry that she is in a Werewolf colony, but that Harry must know about Ginny not being her self and Ron and Hermione had another row. HaHa...oh Lavender!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I had to smile at the cunning way you fitted the words Lavender and "stable" into the same sentence. She's still injured and she's trapped inside a werewolf village just before the full moon. Why on eartnwould a minor inconvenience like that prevent her from gossiping?-N-
Always exciting reading!! Fantastic!
Author's Response: :-D
Always exciting reading!! Fantastic!
Author's Response: Thanks -N-
I really love your story cant wait for more chapters
Author's Response: Thank you. You'll have to wait, I'm afraid, but hopefully not for long. -N-
Wow, great chapter! This is the kind of suspenseful, exciting, and well-written action I've come to expect from you, Northumbrian. It's really interesting to see all the details of your epic tale slowly come together, and to learn where some of your original characters come from. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words. :-D
The two timelines are (as you've probably noticed) rapidly coming together. The next "Hunt" chapter will have a lot of action, too. Before that, Harry must deal with: Neville's revelations; remand prisoner G M Weasley; Augustus Tavistock; and Luna examining the contents of Ginny's knicker drawer. A diffeent sort of action.More soon.
I just wanted to let you know that I love this story! I love how you switched back and forth from the different places. I can't wait till you finish it!! :D
Author's Response: Thank you, I've just got the next chapter back from my betas and I hope to submit it soon. -N-
Some Neville! Nice chapter and great fic! :)
Author's Response: Thanks.
You'll see a lot more of Neville as this story continues.-N-
Oh snap! This was an excellent, excellent chapter! I love your Neville and Hannah. :) Ron, Ron, Ron. I liked Neville's perspective that illuminated what happened in a better light.
I'm looking forward to more of any story! We're back the "Hunt" next, correct? I can only assume/guess what will happen to Lavender.
- Katie
Author's Response: Katie
Thanks for the review. I'm rather fond of Neville and Hannah. Ron is not at his best.Next is another "Hunt" chapter, yes. Harry and Lavender, what a team! You've read my other stuff, so you probably can guess what will happen to Lavender.
Is it just me or does Mark D'Arque sound alot like Dark Mark.... Hmm..... I have my theories.
Author's Response: It does indeed. -N-
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Cliffhanger! Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: Next, we're back in the forest with Harry and Lavender. -N-
Very interesting! And I loved the Churchill reference!
Author's Response: Thanks, it's not one of his more "inspiring" lines, but it is inspired. And hermione is the only person likely to have heard it. -N-
Hmmm so the key is in the Pumpkin Juice...I hope our talented Aurors figure it out. I enjoyed this chapter which focuses on Neville and Hannah instead of Harry, it kept the story fresh. Poor Ron...I really do feel bad for him. I hope that him and Hermione work things out. I look forward to the moment that everything comes together...can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
This chapter provides you with a lot of much needed information. Plus, it allows me to sneak an entire Neville/Hannah chapter into the story. :-DRons hurts are entirely self inflicted, unlike Harry's. There are only two more "Hunt" chapters before Harry reaches the Interlude.
I love the relationship between Neville and Hannah. Now we know why Hermione is so upset with Ron, and with good reason I might add...but do I detect some office gossip (Hermione going to France with her Boss) Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
As Lavender would tell you, just because it's gossip, that doesn't mean it isn't true. This chapter is the midway point of the story, and from now on, there will be more answers than questions.-N-
I have a love/hate relationship with your cliff hangers. On one hand, they are so well written, and on the other, I am always so involved with your characters that I hate waiting for the next bit. The dual narrative has worked very well throughout this story. Seeing the links between the two sections has kept me interested and longing for more.
I am so glad to see Neville with Hannah. They seem to fit together very naturally. I am so glad that he hasn't been tempted to patronize her yet, and that he worked up the courage to admit his full feelings for her. Ron and Hermione by contrast seem very shaky. I feel sorry for Ron, thinking that Hermione actually is with Jenkins. Mind you, Ron always has been an idiot when it comes to Hermione, so maybe it is a little bit deserved.
I loved your take on Kreacher. His little speech reminded me of The Badly Fitting Coat (which I also loved by the way). Robards too was interesting, seeing him from Neville and Hannah's differing perspectives. Basically, I love all of your characterization and plot. My only nit-pick is the use of stubbornly in two consecutive sentences:
"…but Ron stubbornly refused.
'I got myself into this mess. I need to get myself out,' said Ron stubbornly."
Apart from that, this is a well written and well thought out fic, and I cannot wait to find out what happens to Lavender, Hannah and the rest.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. Some people like cliffhangers, others hate them. This story, where you need to wait two chapters for the resolution, is bound to annoy some people. However, I wanted to try writing a dual-narrative/flashback story. It's proved to be more difficult than I expected.
Neville and Hannah seem to fit together so well. Neither of them are brimming with confidence, but they are nice people. Ron has brought his troubles on himself. But when they fall out, they can be so stubborn that reconciliation takes a while.
Kreacher mellowed during DH, but there is, I hope, still a hint of the old Kreacher in him. Luna, will, of course, disagree. I enjoyed writing the Neville/Hannah/Robards interaction. To Neville he's the fearsome "boss", to Hannah, he's "Granddad Robbie" one of her regulars. Thanks for the nitpick. I don't know how I missed that. I'll fix it now.
More soon
Really great chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you :-D -N-
Incredible!!! Love it!!!
Author's Response: Thanks :-D -N-
great story! looking forward to updates
Author's Response: Thanks. More soon. -N-
Nice chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks. -N-
Oh gosh. I'm not really sure what to think. So much is going on! Lavender...Dacia...Death Eaters. And next we're back to Ginny and Neville's story, am I correct? This was a great chapter. I'm looking forward to more of any story. :)
- Katie
Author's Response: Thanks.
Next is a flashback within a flashback as Neville takes his girlfriend to the Ministry ball and you catch a glimpse of what's really going on (I hope). Strangers 14 (Interlude: Three Families) is now in the queue. It's full of werewolve, too.-N-
What a great chapter, as always, I am dying to know more. Does Harry get the girls out along with keeping Lavender safe? What is Scabior going to do? HIs retaliation is not going to be good for Harry, I have a bad feeling about that. You left me biting my nails.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The great thing about alternating chapters is that you won't get the answers until chapter 11 (which is called "Wolves at the door).-N-

Compact yet remarkably comfortable, Serener's Wendela chair blends simplicity of form with sophistication of materials and an old-meets-new design approach. The thin, flexible seat of layered beech wood, created from a mold originally produced in the 1950s, sits upon a contemporary aluminum base. The visible connection between the seat and base is a reference to the joinery used in traditional carpentry. Because it is both lightweight and waterproof, the Wendela works equally well indoors and outdoors. Choose a darker or lighter stain for the beech seat. The aluminum base comes in matte white, matte black or anodized gold. All color combinations work well together. Go for a uniform look or mix it up!

DAVIS - This winter will be the first full season of use for an outdoor conveyor that takes people up the slopes at Canaan Valley Resort State Park.
The Magic Carpet equipment is in use at both the tubing park and the downhill ski access area.
In early 2013, the resort opened a new 1,200-foot, eight-lane, tubing park and a new beginner's ski area and downhill ski upgrades.
"The Magic Carpet brings another mobile experience to winter recreation," said Dave Vance, ski area assistant manager at Canaan Resort. "Winter recreation just keeps getting better at Canaan Valley. The tubing park is awesome, and the response from visitors last winter about the beginners ski area and slope access was excellent."
The slopes at Canaan Valley opened Dec. 14.
Winter sports experiences at Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center include:
- A covered outdoor ice skating rink overlooking the valley and the Allegheny Mountains. The rink, located behind the main lodge building, features an outdoor fireplace.
- An indoor heated pool, whirlpool spa, fitness center, and sauna. Guests in the lodge, cabins and cottages enjoy these facilities as part of the overnight experience, and the facilities are open to the public for a nominal fee.
- Thirty kilometers of marked, un-groomed trails and acres of wide-open meadows open for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. There are no trail fees for cross-country or snowshoeing.
- The new tubing park, the longest in the Mid-Atlantic region. It includes rentals, warming hut, concessions and fireplace. The tubing park with the Magic Carpet mountaintop access is destined to become one of the resort's most popular outdoor winter activities. The tubing park ticket prices include the tube and Magic Carpet ride.
- A beginner ski slope with a dedicated ski school teaching area and the Magic Carpet.
- Downhill skiing slopes with a summit of 4,280 feet and a vertical drop of 850 feet. Forty-three trails make up the downhill ski experience. An average natural snowfall of 180 inches is typical of winter conditions in the Tucker County area.
More than 30 percent of the terrain at Canaan Valley is dedicated to beginners, and Timber Trail is a guest favorite (1.25 miles long). Critters Crawl for beginners was added to the ski area in 2013 and includes a "magic carpet."
The remaining trails cater to intermediate skiing (40 percent) and advanced/expert (30 percent). Canaan Valley features three lifts: 1 quad and 2 triples, plus two Magic Carpet transports.
- Rentals, concessions and ticket sales for downhill skiing at the Bear Paw complex. Rentals include ski equipment and snowboard rentals.
Tube rentals are at the Tubing Park area.
Cross-country skis and snowshoe rentals are available at the XC Ski Center near the state park office.
More information about the resort, can be obtained by calling 304-866-4121 or visiting www.canaanresort.com.

Hi George,
This request might be more straightforward than you think. Since you
mentioned that you have a UX study that supports your decisions,
there is presumably a rationale that has lead you to organize the
site the way that you did in the site map.
You didn't say what kind of system you are designing. I'm guessing
it is either a consumer-facing site, an employee-facing site, or a
b2b site. In any of these cases, you can create a concept model or
interaction model that reflects the entities involved, the priorities
your users have expressed, and the pattern or sequence or media that
you intend to use to engage users first at an introductory level, an
on-going usage level, and at a loyalty level. If you start sketching
these entities, relationships, and priorities, using size, position,
sequence etc. to indicate relative importance or ordering, you will
end up with a visual representation of the organizational structure,
and this should correspond to the site map. If not, you should
consider modifying the site map.
I posted some simple concept model/interaction model diagram types
that I've used to give project sponsors a quick visual
representation of the rationale for how a site or interactive piece
is structured. They are on my personal site:
Hope that helps,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Posted from the new ixda.org
I'm assuming that the audience for the presentation are not familiar
with a standard site-map deliverable, and I'm guessing that they are
not looking for a blow-by-blow account of the entire rationale you
have chosen, but instead looking for some confidence in the decisions
that you have made.
Maybe what would help would be to create a presentation that
illustrates some of the significant changes in patterns that have
been made with the new site map.
Look for differences between the old site map, and the new site map
and think of ways to visually communicate this using metaphor,
analogy or diagram.
Perhaps first level labeling has been changed from obscure technical
language to more simple easy to understand language.
Perhaps the categories have been organized so that at each step there
are fewer decisions to make whereas before there were many.
Perhaps the depth of the website has been decreased, so that from the
homepage people reach content with fewer steps than before.
Look for patterns on what has changed, make sure you understand why
the changes have happened, and brainstorm ideas how you might
communicate this.
Pretty vague advice, but hope it helps a little.

Does Globalization Lower Wages and Export Jobs?by Matthew J. Slaughter

International Trade in Services and Intangibles in the Era of Globalizationby Marshall Reinsdorf Matthew J. Slaughter
The celebrated economist Zvi Griliches's entire career can be viewed as an attempt to advance the cause of accuracy in economic measurement. Hard-to-Measure Goods and Services, a collection of papers from an NBER conference held in Griliches's honor, is a tribute to his many contributions to current economic thought. Here, leading scholars of economic measurement address issues in the areas of productivity, price hedonics, capital measurement, diffusion of new technologies, and output and price measurement in "hard-to-measure" sectors of the economy.
The Squam Lake Report: Fixing the Financial Systemby Robert J. Shiller Raghuram G. Rajan John Y. Campbell Matthew J. Slaughter Hyun Song Shin Kenneth R. French Martin N. Baily John H. Cochrane Douglas W. Diamond Darrell Duffie Anil K Kashyap Frederic S. Mishkin David S. Scharfstein Jeremy C. Stein René M. Stulz
In the fall of 2008, fifteen of the world's leading economists--representing the broadest spectrum of economic opinion--gathered at New Hampshire's Squam Lake. Their goal: the mapping of a long-term plan for financial regulation reform. The Squam Lake Reportdistills the wealth of insights from the ongoing collaboration that began at these meetings and provides a revelatory, unified, and coherent voice for fixing our troubled and damaged financial markets. As an alternative to the patchwork solutions and ideologically charged proposals that have dominated other discussions, the Squam Lake group sets forth a clear nonpartisan plan of action to transform the regulation of financial markets--not just for the current climate--but for generations to come. Arguing that there has been a conflict between financial institutions and society, these diverse experts present sound and transparent prescriptions to reduce this divide. They look at the critical holes in the existing regulatory framework for handling complex financial institutions, retirement savings, and credit default swaps. They offer ideas for new financial instruments designed to recapitalize banks without burdening taxpayers. To lower the risk that large banks will fail, the authors call for higher capital requirements as well as a systemic regulator who is part of the central bank. They collectively analyze where the financial system has failed, and how these weak points should be overhauled. Combining an immense depth of academic, private sector, and public policy experience,The Squam Lake Reportcontains urgent recommendations that will positively influence everyone's financial well-being--all who care about the world's economic health need to pay attention.

By making the headlines about buyers with Chinese surnames, instead of the broader issue of non-residents buying property, Labour now his the risible Nick Smith leading the news bulletin, accusing them of playing the race card.
It was Labour who chose this lede. Not Smith. Not the media. Labour.
Polity: House-buying patterns in Auckland,
...and, oh look, Nick Smith's calling out Labour for "playing the race card". Right or wrong, what other way was focusing on race by choosing to focus on Chinese supposed to play out?
This really is spectacularly stupid politics from Labour.
Polity: House-buying patterns in Auckland, in reply to
Exactly, Sacha. I know Rob's a smart man, and I like to think many in Labour are... so why make this specifically about Chinese, why make it about race when the big issue didn't need to be?
OnPoint: My last name sounds Chinese,
If the debate about "is this or is this not racist" is distracting from the important issue of non-residents buying Auckland housing, then that's because Phil Twyford and Labour chose to make the headlines of this story about race. When it didn't need to be, at all.
OnPoint: My last name sounds Chinese,
Superb rebuttal of Twyford's racist dog whistle, Keith. Thank you.
Field Theory: Real Fans, in reply to
To echo Dom - I also was a long-time season pass holder for the Hurricanes and Wellington Lions, both through Athletic Park then Westpac Stadium. But then, around 2010, it all just got too much.
While seeing our teams playing poorly wasn't particularly new, having to do so at great cost in a bitterly cold concrete stadium with ridiculously poor choices for food and drink, attempts at half-time entertainment that at best were half-hearted (but more accurately, simply piss-poor) and security who embodied all the worst aspects of trumped up little pricks in uniform.
We started to leave at half-time to watch the rest of the game in comfort at a nearby bar; with good food and drink to hand.
Then we just stopped going along at all.

Speaker: In Tribute: Peter Gutteridge…,
Through the highs (hearing "Hang On" for the first time on "In Love With These Times", the release of 'Pure') to the lows (seeing Gutteridge slumped, mumbling, incoherent against his electric piano at a gig on the ADM tour) one thing never changed - my love of almost all of the music he contributed to throughout his life.
Had to leave work when I heard the news yesterday. Sat down by the water, thought of the music, my encounters with the man both from the audience and in person, and shed a tear.
Will be missed.

Rigaku Micro Diffractometer XRD
Gideon has a Rigaku (x-ray diffraction) Rotaflex RU-200B series with a PSPC (position sensitive proportional counter) type microdiffractometer with auxiliary cabinet, H.V. transformer, water circulator ( a $3000 item we have thrown in), radiation enclosure, PC MCA PS Mod 80, Canberra Accuspec MCA card and hardware for signal collection, and dual monitors.
We have the electrical interface box also. 3 phase 208 volts. We have everything intact because it only has about 13 hours usage and 62.6 total "on time" hours. It resides in the lab and not in storage because our intent was to put it back into service but things did not work out. This is a dual shutter unit so that two experiments or samples can be run at a time with a multitasking board. This is a research grade instrument. This unit can take many attachments sold via Rigaku and other detectors. Can be used in the silicon chip for defects, inorganic analysis (ICDD, process control, corrosion), polycrystalline molecules with a R-axis detector, phase analysis, research on zeolites and formulation, and drug research to mention a few applications.
We have extra filaments, 10,30,50,100 micron collimators and all the materials, booklets and apparatus that came with the unit. This unit cost 230K. This is an excellent instrument in excellent condition unlike resellers on line.
Price $41,000

Creating a Digitigrade illusion for your character's legs
So you want your character to have the illusion of digitigrade locomotion, so it appears to be walking on its toes? This tutorial is an advanced tutorial and it assumes that you know a little bit on how to sew, and that you know how to carve and attach foam, and apply fur. It is also full of useful tips for creating a costume with padding, but primarily shows creating an animal shape that looks like it is walking on its toes. Please be aware costumes with padding can be HOT to wear and a little more difficult to move around in.
I put a lot of time and effort into putting together
these tutorials for your creative pleasure.
Thank you for enjoying my website!

Shelby County High School basketball legend Mike Casey will enter yet another – and perhaps a bit overdue – hall of fame Saturday.
Casey will be inducted into the University of Kentucky Hall of Fame during ceremonies at halftime of UK's home football game with Western Kentucky on Saturday night, nearly 40 years after he played his last game there.
7th Street corridor workshops The first of three public workshops to discuss the 7th Street corridor will be from 5:30 p.m. to 8 Thursday at the old fire station on 7th Street. The workshop, which will be led by City Solutions Center and Triple S Planning, gives the public a chance to have input on the direction the city and county should take for zoning regulations in the area. The next workshop will be Sept. 23 from 5:30 t o 8, and the final workshop will be Oct.
Five Rockets baseball players joined the long list of athletes from the class of 2010 to continue their sport at the next level.
Matthew Purdom, Tayor Boone, John Hunter, Trey Bailey and Eric Standafer were honored in a ceremony preceeding the baseball team's year-end banquet Tuesday at SCHS.
"They're a wanted commodity," Rocket Coach Bart Roettger said, adding how fun it was to be bombarded by college recruiters. "We truly were a family in this last year."
The Shelbyville Bypass, eagerly awaited for more than four years and expected to be completed early this month, won't be open on schedule – and likely not even this year.
A preacher came across a small group of boys who had circled around a small dog and were talking among themselves. "What are you boys…"

Girls golf: SCHS 3rd in tourney
The Shelby County High School girls golf team, tuning up for a run toward a possible state championship, finished third in the Gene Hilen Invitational at Juniper Hills in Frankfort on Saturday, shooting their highest score of the season.
Playing a dry, rock-hard golf course, the Rockets shot 340, 15 shots behind winner Green County and six behind runner-up Notre Dame.
'American Pickers' looking in Shelby
It has been a tough road for Shelby County High School's football team in its first season under the local two-school system, and tonight's game with Marion County could prove to be equally bumpy.
Experiencing a natural dilution of talent because of the formation of cross-town rival Collins High School, the Rockets (0-3) have been further hampered by injuries to key two-way starters Brandon Ford, Justin Stewart and Logan Forrest.

12th Unisa International Piano Competition 2012
The first Unisa international piano competition
The first international piano competition was presented at Unisa in 1982. The winner of this competition, the Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin, has gained international renown as a concert pianist in the meantime. Other prize winners currently active on the international concert circuit include American soprano, Reneé Fleming, South African tenors Johan Botha and Kobie van Rensburg while the list of past jurors include illustrious names such as Guido Agosti, Gyorgy Sandor, Fanny Waterman, Halina Czerny-Stefanska, Sergei Dorensky, Irina Arkhipova, Martina Arroyo, Marie Claire-Alain etcetera.
Subsequently other disciplines were introduced such as singing (1984), strings (1988) and organ (1998).
In 1990 the Unisa International Music Competitions was accepted as the only accredited of the prestigious World Federation of International Music Competitions (Geneva) on the African continent. In 2008 Ben Schoeman became the First South African pianist to receive first prize in the history of these competitions.
In 2012 these events will celebrate its 30th anniversary with the presentation of the 12th Unisa International Piano Competition.
These events have earned the reputation as Unisa's foremost cultural showcase not only locally, but also internationally.

Generally speaking, if a decedent owned property as joint tenants, the entire value of the property is included in his estate. There are a couple exceptions to this rule.
Contribution. The amount included is limited by the contribution made by the deceased joint tenant. Thus, if it can be shown that a joint tenant made a contribution to the principal of the property, then only that percentage of the property's value will be included in the decedent's estate. For example, if Abel and Cain each contributed $1,000 to buy some property to buy $2,000 worth of stock. The stock appreciates and is worth $5,000 at Abel's untimely death. Only 50% of the value of that property ($2,500) will be included in Abel's estate. This concept may be better understood with this equation:
Contribution by decedent/Total contribution by all tenants x value of joint property = Amount included in decedent's estate
Any consideration by the surviving co-tenant does not include amounts that were originally gifted to the surviving co-tenant by the decedent. For example, Abel gave Cain $5,000 and Cain deposited it into an account and added Abel as a joint tenant. If Abel dies before Cain, the entire $5,000 would be included in Abel's estate.
Tenancy by the Entirety (husband and wife as joint tenants): When two people are married and hold property either as joint tenants or as tenants by the entirety, exactly one-half of the value of the property is included in the decedent's estate. The amount contributed by either spouse does not matter.

Dossier Kby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
The first and only memoir from the Nobel Prize-winning author, in the form of an illuminating, often funny, and often combative interview--conducted by the author of himself. Dossier K is Imre Kertész's response to the hasty biographies and profiles that followed his 2002 Nobel Prize, an attempt to set the record straight. But, as befits Kertész, it's a beautifully roundabout way of going straight: Kertész faces and interrogates himself about the issues and events that have long preoccupied him, while also dealing with the questions that really annoy him (such as, "Is your work autobiographical?"). The result is an extraordinary self-portrait, in which Kertész recounts memories of his childhood in Budapest; the years that lead up to the Second World War and his first encounters with anti-Semitism; the incredible forged record of his death in Buchenwald that may in fact have saved his life; his release from the camps and his return to his family; Hungary's Rákosi and Kádár regimes and the terror, hypocrisy, and absurdity they entailed; his thoughts about what other writers have written about the Holocaust; his two marriages; and his long development as a writer. This is a surprising and provocative autobiography that delves into questions about the legacy of the Holocaust, fiction and reality, and what Kertész calls "the wonderful burden of being responsible for yourself.
Fatelessnessby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
At the age of 14 Georg Koves is plucked from his home in a Jewish section of Budapest and without any particular malice, placed on a train to Auschwitz. He does not understand the reason for his fate. He doesn't particularly think of himself as Jewish. And his fellow prisoners, who decry his lack of Yiddish, keep telling him, "You are no Jew." In the lowest circle of the Holocaust, Georg remains an outsider. The genius of Imre Kertesz's unblinking novel lies in its refusal to mitigate the strangeness of its events, not least of which is Georg's dogmatic insistence on making sense of what he witnesses-or pretending that what he witnesses makes sense. Haunting, evocative, and all the more horrifying for its rigorous avoidance of sentiment, Fatelessness is a masterpiece in the traditions of Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Tadeusz Borowski.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Fiascoby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
Translated into English at last, Fiasco joins its companion volumes Fatelessness and Kaddish for an Unborn Child in telling an epic story of the author's return from the Nazi death camps, only to find his country taken over by another totalitarian government. Fiasco as Imre Kertesz himself has said, "is fiction founded on reality"--a Kafka-like account that is surprisingly funny in its unrelentingly pessimistic clarity, of the Communist takeover of his homeland. Forced into the army and assigned to escort military prisoners, the protagonist decides to feign insanity to be released from duty. But meanwhile, life under the new regime is portrayed almost as an uninterrupted continuation of life in the Nazi concentration camps-which, in turn, is depicted as a continuation of the patriarchal dictatorship of joyless childhood. It is, in short, a searing extension of Kertesz' fundamental theme: the totalitarian experience seen as trauma not only for an individual but for the whole civilization--ours--that made Auschwitz possible.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Kaddish for an Unborn Childby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
The first word in this mesmerizing novel by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is "No." It is how the novel's narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child. It is the answer he gave his wife (now ex-wife) years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. The loss, longing and regret that haunt the years between those two "no"s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world he ushers readers into the labyrinth of his consciousness, dramatizing the paradoxes attendant on surviving the catastrophe of Auschwitz. Kaddish for the Unborn Child is a work of staggering power, lit by flashes of perverse wit and fueled by the energy of its wholly original voice. Translated by Tim Wilkinson. From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Pathseekerby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
"There's no such thing as chance...only injustice."From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature for "writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history..." The acclaimed Hungarian Holocaust survivor Imre Kertész continues his investigation of the malignant methodologies of totalitarianism in a major work of fiction. In a mysterious middle-European country, a man identified only as "the commissioner" undertakes what seems to be a banal trip to a nondescript town with his wife--a brief detour on the way to a holiday at the seaside--that turns into something ominous. Something terrible has happened in the town, something that no one wants to discuss. With his wife watching on fearfully, he commences a perverse investigation, rudely interrogating the locals, inspecting a local landmark with a frightening intensity, traveling to an outlying factory where he confronts the proprietors ... and slowly revealing a past he's been trying to suppress. In a limpid translation by Tim Wilkinson, this haunting tale lays bare an emotional and psychological landscape ravaged by totalitarianism in one of Kertsz's most devastating examinations of the responsibilities of and for the Holocaust.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Union Jackby Tim Wilkinson Imre Kertesz
"It was...unnecessary for me to fret about who the murderer was: Everybody was."A haunting, never-before-translated, autobiographical novella by the 2002 Nobel Prize winner. An unnamed narrator recounts a simple anecdote, his sighting of the Union Jack--the British Flag--during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, in the few days preceding the uprising's brutal repression by the Soviet army. In the telling, partly a digressive meditation on "the absurd order of chance," he recalls his youthful self, and the epiphanies of his intellectual and spiritual awakening--an awakening to a kind of radical subjectivity. In his Nobel address Kertesz remembered: "I, on a lovely spring day in 1955, suddenly came to the realization that there exists only one reality, and that is me, my own life, this fragile gift bestowed for an uncertain time, which had been seized, expropriated by alien forces, and circumscribed, marked up, branded--and which I had to take back from 'History', this dreadful Moloch, because it was mine and mine alone..."The Contemporary Art of the Novella series is designed to highlight work by major authors from around the world. In most instances, as with Imre Kertész, it showcases work never before published; in others, books are reprised that should never have gone out of print. It is intended that the series feature many well-known authors and some exciting new discoveries. And as with the original series, The Art of the Novella, each book is a beautifully packaged and inexpensive volume meant to celebrate the form and its practitioners.

QOTD- Saturday
Getting ready for my dd to be induced on tues. Catching up on household chores
Our first day of dates on friday we had two fails LOL (but thats ok bc we still had saturday to look forward to )
First we wanted to rent a romantic comedy new release for a little date at home. We saw 5 Year Engagement was by the makers of Bridesmaids and BRidesmaids was hilarious so we expected this to be too, NOT! It was 2 hrs and 12 min of stupid and hardly any laughs and no huge ones and all drawn out. But at least we were together lol
Then we had 8:30pm reservations an hour from our house at the Historic Holly Hotel Comedy Club for a live professional comedian. When we left the traffic was bad and it was dark and it was raining SUPER HARD so it was very hard to see and we had to drive slower and that sucked bc we were running late already and the club is an hour away. To make matters worse our gps DIED, completely dead so we hoped we remembered how to get there,
Eventually we hit dirt roads and the woods and we were pretty sure we were lost and in the middle of nowwhere, to rub it in our faces that we were in the middle of nowhere, there was a deer crossing sign and then a horse crossing sign and then a tractor crossing sign HAHAA ok ok so we got the point, we are in the middle of nowhere and are going to be too late to go and if we arrived too late would probably end up the butt of the comedians jokes and we didnt want that so we turned around and drove the hour home instead. We thought it was funny except for cost of gas. At least we were together.

Kitchen damaged in stovetop fire
POULSBO — A kitchen fire damaged a stove and cupboards before being doused Friday afternoon before the fire could spread to nearby apartments.
Residents at the apartment complex, near the Regal Cinemas Poulsbo 10 on Edvard Street off Viking Avenue, noticed black smoke billowing from an apartment window at 12:20 p.m. Sept. 21. The 62-year-old male and 51-year-old female residents had begun cooking, using an electrical appliance that was placed on the stovetop. They then left the apartment, not realizing that they had turned on the wrong burner, and the plastic base of the appliance ignited. Fortunately, they were nearby in the apartment manager's office.
The residents returned and tried to smother the fire with blankets but the blankets also ignited. The manager and the maintenance man were able to extinguish the fire using two extinguishers.
Firefighters urge residents to never store anything on your stovetop.
"Fires like this are not uncommon," according to Poulsbo Fire spokeswoman Jody Matson said. "Occasionally we respond to a person's home for a medical assist or to install smoke alarms and notice people are using their stove for storage. It is very dangerous. Pot holders, towels and loose clothing are all common ignition sources of stove top fires and injuries." Unattended cooking fires are the number one cause of residential home fires.

QuakeCon 2012 Hands-on Preview: Dishonored
Dishonored was one of those games that I hadn't really heard much about until E3 just a couple of months ago and then became extremely excited about it. I wasn't able to play it at E3, sadly, but from what I could tell, it was steampunk version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but with more amusing powers to play with. For example, instead of learning the ability to float down to the ground from absolutely any height, Corvo can simply possess someone already walking on the ground, thereby avoiding both splatter and detection. What intrigued me even more was how the developers–Arcane–emphasized that Dishonored could really be tailored to play any way you want, from stealth to guns-a-blazing. Now, we've heard this argument before, and sometimes it holds up and other times it does not, but after playing today, I firmly believe that this is true for Dishonored. I wasRead more →
PowerA releases Star Wars iPhone cases
At first I thought this was just a regular product pitch from a company using an IP that I'm in love with to make something cheap that I won't want. But then I looked into PowerA and what they are offering and I have to say, I'm stunned at the quality of these cases! Darth Vader and C-3PO (which looks amazing) is now available on PowerA.com.

The Star Wars Collector Case Series for iPhone 4/4S are sculpted in incredible detail. If you want something more than the individual characters, the Star Wars Saga Cases for iPhone 4/4s have original poster art from the classic films. FollowRead more →

Tea tree grease?
where can you purchase tea tree grease?
Tea Tree Oil is amazing stuff. It is like a first aid paraphernalia in a bottle.
You can take it at most health food stores.
Any Pharmacy or Drug store.
Boots and Superdrug enjoy it.
Any health food store.
Try a comeliness supply house. Tea tree oil is commonly used as a topical anesthetic by staple technicians.
You can also look at health food stores, and also larger grocery stores next to an expanded health & beauty/pharmacy department, similar to Walmart or Target.
it is in frequent health products
i own it in my weak spice pre shave wash
Vitamin stores hold it too, or maybe dollargeneral stores or walmart.
I would one and only buy it from a healthfood store. I've tried some from beauty supplies and drugstores and they be very poor talent diluted with mineral grease

I clean my guns after shooting them. I used to clean them once a week or if I was looking for an excuse not to do something on the wife's honeydo list.
March 25, 2004, 09:50 PM
I wipe guns every time they're shot...to remove finger prints ect. and to keep down rust. I usually run a patch down the bore,too. I completely clean my carry piece every time I shoot it. Just makes me feel better.
March 25, 2004, 09:52 PM
I clean after the range and then once a month if need which is uauslly a wipe down more than clean
Black Majik
March 25, 2004, 10:08 PM
After every range session. None of my guns go unshot for a month anyways so after a range session is adequate enough for me :)
Oh, and after I buy a new gun. Which means I gotta bust out the cleaning kit and clean my new S&W 686 PP :D
March 25, 2004, 10:15 PM
I clean after the range and then once a month if need which is uauslly a wipe down more than clean
Same here. Clean real good after firing, otherwise a regular rust protection wipe-down.
March 25, 2004, 10:16 PM
Only after I shoot. If I'm hunting deer for days at a time, I wipe it them down at the end of each day, but I don't clean the barrel or chamber.
I also wipe them down if I happen to handle them for any reason.
March 25, 2004, 10:22 PM
I clean mine:
A) When they start to malfunction (as a general rule of thumb somewhere around 500 rounds).
B) If I have no intention of shooting it for awhile prior to returning it to the safe (I train with the same guns all the time. The rest are just for fun now and then).
C) Prior to attending a formal training class or a match.
March 25, 2004, 10:32 PM
Every time I shoot.
If it's just a quick mag or two I just give it a whipe down But if its 50 rounds of more it gets totally cleaned.
March 25, 2004, 10:38 PM
Most guns get cleaned after coming back from the range, but one of my G19s that I shoot IDPA with every week hasn't been cleaned in ~5k rounds or so. Just a little lube every once in awhile. It's a combination of laziness and curiosity to see how long it can go w/o a cleaning.
March 26, 2004, 12:59 PM
I clean my after range trips, which I hope to make one of tomorrow, and about every 2-3 weeks if not out shooting before then.

March 26, 2004, 01:12 PM
There are 5 votes for "Uhm, people clean them?"
I'm one of them. I keep my thompson clean, but its blued and rarely fired. I will pull the slide off, wipe the rails down, re-lube, and boresnake my pistols every other range session or so (oil every session), but I normally dont actually "clean" them untill I change the recoil spring.
Cyberdyne systems
March 26, 2004, 01:28 PM
I clean then after each range session, and sometimes clean them again or "detail clean" them by getting every nook and cranny and going over it with a fine tooth comb, sometimes you will find a broken or worn part when you pay close attention by detail cleaning, i like to know my gun like the back of my hand
March 26, 2004, 01:29 PM
Only after I shoot. But not after every time I shoot.
Depends on # of rounds. Other factors.
March 26, 2004, 01:53 PM
No Comment :p
I'm one of the "5". ;)
Okay, it depends, my bbls are great, guns accurate, the actions and such are in tip top shape, no rust, and inspect ,maintanence, and normal stuff like spring replacements are done.Chambers are clean and dry, extractors, and ratches are - well...clean, dry and extract everytime. They feed everytime. They go "Bang" everytime.
No I do not "baby" my guns...they get used, not mistreated. Well they have taken swims, fallen in mud, snow,been sweated upon, and run into stuff...ya know...normal. ;)
Well just last fall ( '03) I cleaned the bbl on one CCW, and...and...what 3 wks ago had to remove the BBQ and powdered donuts off the grips...:D

I shoot often enough they don't get dirty just sitting around, but I don't go so often that they are constantly being cleaned.
I don't obsessively clean anything, in fact I hate cleaning. I do know my gun looks really bad after shooting it so I keep it clean. I mean come on my gun has to make me look good or I won't carry it. ;) :D :neener: :evil:
March 26, 2004, 02:14 PM
There needs to be another choice up there. "When it malfunctions"
Actually, it depends on the gun and type of gun for me. My target or collector guns like my CG-63 or my Windrunner get cleaned after every trip though it may take a day or so. Mainly to get the copper fouling out so accuracy doesn't fall. My semi-autos or plinkers get cleaned when they don't cooperate.
March 26, 2004, 02:26 PM
There really should have been an option for I have too many to clean once a month or so. If I tried to clean every one of my firearms once a month, I'd be finishing up about the time I had to start cleaning the first one again.
That being said. My carry get's cleaned every time I shoot it. All others get cleaned if more than 50 rounds are shot at a single session, or if they've been to several sessions at the range. Anything that has had corrosive ammo shot out of it get's cleaned immediately after getting home. And the rest get checked out cleaned every now and then some not for months. I have a few that haven't been fired, touched, cleaned for years; other than a quick check for surface rusting excetera.

Clean 'em on a "as needed" basis. This can vary? If
I use 'em, I don't drive 'em hard, and put 'em dirty!
OTHO, if they just sit on the shelf and collect dust,
they get cleaned at least every 4 to 6 weeks.

The .22lr 10/22's every now and again. All my other firearms get TLC on a regular basis!
March 26, 2004, 05:19 PM
After I shoot, that very day. After I hunt, even if I don't shoot. Then once every three or four weeks for good measure.
March 26, 2004, 05:19 PM
I voted only when I shoot them. Except, some of my guns that I may not have shot in awhile, especially the blued ones, get cleaned about every 3 months or so.
If for whatever reason if I can't clean guns right after I shoot them I don't feel right until I do. I'm only like that about guns, I don't think I washed my car last year at all.
March 26, 2004, 05:23 PM
I clean it when it gets so bad I can't touch the thing without it leaving black marks all over my hands and/or when I can notice the slide start to cycle more slowly due to the crap build up. <BLAM!> <keeer chuuunk> <BLAM!> <keeer chuuunk>
Two things I will do: clean off the front sight so I can see the dot again and brush out the mag bodies. Anytime the mags get dropped on the ground a bunch they get brushed out.

It depends, if it's one of my serious guns(home defense etc...) then I clean after every use. If it's just a plinker such as mr ruger 22/45 I only clean it when it starts to get feeding or ejection problems.

Every ten minutes.
March 26, 2004, 05:54 PM
Every ten minutes.heh.
I'll clean mine after a shoot, but only if I know that they're going to be sitting in the safe awhile. If I'm going to be going shooting again in a relatively short period of time, why bother cleaning it?
Though I have been known to sit down and clean something that was sitting in the safe that was clean to begin with. What I mean is that sometimes, if it's a gun I haven't shot in along time, I'll take it out and run a patch down the bore, make sure it's oiled in all the right spots, maybe give it a quick wipe down with the RIG rag. Just to let them know that even if I haven't shot them in awhile, I still love them.
March 26, 2004, 06:13 PM
I generally clean after a shooting session. For my BUG, and my daily carry gun, I've been known to used canned air to blow out any dust and lint that might have gotten in there.
March 26, 2004, 06:28 PM
How often? That depends on the gun.
SL8 - bore-snake after shooting, field stripping every couple a hundred rounds.
Glock - every ~1,000 rounds. Ejecting to the right means: everything ok. Ejecting to 6 o'clock: clean me soon. Ejecting to the LEFT: clean me - NOW!
Enfield - thorough cleaning of the barrel after each trip to the range and again during the following days.
March 26, 2004, 06:54 PM
I've cleaned my Ruger Mk II once since I bought it 2 years ago; that was the day I took delivery. It's got about 4000 rounds through it now, and is starting to object (jam) so it's due.
I'm pretty dutiful about the rest of my handguns and my rifles. I won't let a rifle get to 30 rounds without a cleaning, but I've taken some 45's out for steel plate on consecutive weeks and sometimes those won't get cleaned for ~ 7-800 rounds. But at least I'll break the slide from the frame and wipe the gunk out of them and lube'em up before that second session; I just won't strip the slide and frame. It's not quite a 'field strip'.
March 26, 2004, 07:30 PM
I usually clean them only after I shoot them. But since I do more dry firing than actual shooting I tend to go over them once every couple of months.
Chris Rhines
March 27, 2004, 07:08 AM
After shooting, I run a boresnake thru the barrel and give the exterior a wipedown with a Silicon cloth. I field-strip, clean, and relube every 500-1000 rounds or so, depending on the gun.
- Chris
March 27, 2004, 03:01 PM
Everytime I take a shower.
March 27, 2004, 08:34 PM
I run my bore snake with some FP-10 on it when I get home from the range. Also wipe it down to remove powder.
Around 500 I field strip it.
Around 1500 or so I detail strip it.

Syracuse, NY - A Syracuse man accused of killing former Henninger High School star Kihary Blue in a drive-by shooting was arraigned this morning in City Court.
Judge Kate Rosenthal entered a "not guilty" plea for Kahari Smith and ordered him held in jail without bail.
Smith, 26, of 103 Maris Drive, is charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the Nov. 26 fatal shooting of Blue.
Blue, 19, was riding in a car on Interstate 81 with several reputed members of the Bricktown street gang when he was shot in the head from a passing vehicle
Authorities contend Smith is a member of the V-Not gang and that Blue was not a member of any gang although he was with Bricktown members at the time he was shot. Blue died of his injuries about a week later.
Smith is accused of firing multiple shots at the car from a .40-caliber handgun. Police recovered eight spent .40-caliber casings at the scene, according to court documents.
According to the felony complaint, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix in which Blue was riding in the middle of the back seat was northbound on I-81 just past the ramp to Interstate 690 east when Smith opened fire from a passing minivan.
A witness statement in the court papers indicated Smith was in the front passenger seat of the van when he pulled out his gun and opened fire.
"He began firing the gun and shot until the magazine was empty," the witness is quoted as saying. Nearly all of the witness' statement - including any information about the identity of that witness - was blacked out in the copy of the document filed in court.
Authorities said the person next to Blue in the back seat of the car, Jarrel Williams, was shot in the leg in the incident.
Rosenthal assigned lawyer Ralph Cognetti to represent Smith. She adjourned the case to Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
In announcing Smith's arrest Saturday, authorities said members of the Bricktown gang apparently believed the 110 gang was responsible for the Blue shooting. Officials contend Bricktown was retaliating against the 110 gang when Saquan Evans allegedly opened fire on a minivan on Coolidge Avenue Nov. 28, killing 20-month-old Rashaad Walker Jr. who was in a child seat in the vehicle at the time.
Authorities contend Evans, 21, was trying to kill the toddler's father, Rashaad Walker Sr., a reputed member of the 110 gang.
The name of the V-Not gang first surfaced publicly earlier this week in court papers filed by the District Attorney's office in the case against Evans. The District Attorney's Office wants to present evidence of a 15-year feud between Bricktown and the 110 gang and evidence of a more recent feud between Bricktown and V-Not as evidence in Evan's trial.
That includes evidence Evans shot four people playing cards in a garage at a home on Shirley Drive Nov. 7 in an attack by Bricktown on V-Not territory.
Smith also is facing a federal indictment charging murder in aid of racketeering in connection with Blue's death and conspiracy to murder Bricktown gang members.
The federal indictment indicates Smith and others were riding around looking for Bricktown gang members to kill when the shooting occurred on I-81 that claimed Blue's life.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Katko today said Smith is not accused of trying to kill anyone in particular when he opened fire on the car in which Blue was riding. Authorities contend he opened fire after recognizing the vehicle as one used by Bricktown gang members.
Katko said Smith will probably be arraigned on the federal charge in a week or so. Smith already was in custody when he was charged on the state and federal murder charges.
Katko said Smith was being held in the Onondaga County Correctional Facility in Jamesville on a probation violation. Corrections records show Smith's been in the facility in Jamesville since April 25.
Several of Smith's relatives and friends sat quietly in City Court this morning for the two-minute arraignment proceeding before Rosenthal. They declined comment as they left court.

As an entertainment writer for PEOPLE magazine, my job often affords me the unique opportunity to meet high-profile people in private situations. However, not many of these experiences have been as intimate as PEOPLE's latest photo shoot at the L.A. home of Jessica Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson, with their newborn daughter, Maxwell Drew.
Jessica and Eric's house is warm and homey, and the new parents couldn't have been more gracious hosts. After the shoot was well underway, and a few friends had gathered to celebrate Maxwell's big magazine debut, Eric surprised everyone with glasses of champagne, and Jessica led a toast: "To baby Max!"
But, there was still work to do. An hour or two later, as we gathered by the pool, Jessica cradled Maxwell for the camera, as Eric distracted their 6-year-old Airedale terrier, Bentley. But, of course, when Maxwell began to stir, Dad turned his attention to the baby, pulling a pacifier out of his pocket to give to her. When that failed to quiet the newborn, Jessica gave her a bottle of milk that she'd pumped earlier in the day. Looking at his new family, Eric smiled. "We're team Max," he explained, simply.
I couldn't have put it better myself.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
9 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Panasonic Lumix cameras are available in the Japanese market. They are available in different colors with new features. Like Panasonic Cameras, Voucherfrenzy.co.uk also deals with varieties of branded cameras like LG, Pentax and Panasonic etc… You have to just click here: http://www.voucherfrenzy.co.uk to get the branded cameras at affordable prices.
As a owner of a Panasonic FX500 and a Panasonic G1 I find it a pity they removed the 'joystick' (FX500) in favor of the five buttons control (G1).
One relative large joystick is far better than five tiny buttons.
Besides, the inscriptions on those little buttons got wiped off after a few months (as om my G1).
Well I hope it's as good as the review would indicate, I've just sold my Lumix TZ5 and ordered one of these to replace it. I missed having the manual controls on the TZ5.
I enjoyed this review. You have made it clear, without using a hammer to do so, that this camera has so-so image quality. The portrait of the lady, taken at perfectly reasonable settings, illustrates the poor performance of this camera. Almost any point and shoot would have taken a better picture, given the settings you used. I believe I'd look at some of the competition before I'd buy this one.
Thanks for the useful information. This camera has attractive features and decent design. It is available in 2 colors silver and black. I found both the colors smart.
I am using the fx550 which i bought in pixmania.com and it takes better pics than the casio one. My wife owns the casio,which is a very nice camera, but i find the panasonic better. And it was a bargain:€261…
PB review claims one cannot adjust sharpness:
Unfortunately you can't change the in-camera sharpening level.
However, Panasonic's FX550 manual says:
Picture Adjustment Contrast ±2steps / Sharpness ±2steps / Saturation ±2steps / Noise Reduction ±2steps
Why this discrepancy between PB review and camera manual?
I have used the FX550 and the FX500. They have many good features but no matter how much you try changing the settings, the picture quality is always poor. It does not inspire confidence because so many of the shots are so-so.
I have been taking photos for over 30 years and I would honestly say that these two camera's are very poor considering the price and the competition. Don't risk it. Avoid the FX range.
Hmmm. You can tell a lot of comments here are posted by those who have never touched the FX500/550/580.
I've achieved top 10 photos at dpreview.com in the contests with an FX500. The photos aren't perfect, none are. They are very decent, and it's quite a versatile camera to have in your pocket. One of the smallest with manual controls.
Photos are a little soft at full zoom, most compacts are.
Stop pixel-peeping and look at the photo results instead. I have made beautiful calendars with 8x11 prints and had to re-order several times because people wanted copies of the calendars and 'where did I get those beautiful pictures?'(FX500)

Possibly the goal is to transform Happy Valley into Healthy Valley, the satellite campuses as well, but a new policy mandated by Penn State may not be good medicine.
This month, the university announced the "Take Care of Your Health" mandatory initiative for faculty and staff. The plan requires 17,000 employees to provide vital information including cholesterol, body mass index, blood pressure, and, my favorite, waist circumference, or incur $100 monthly surcharges.
It's a new battle of the bulge: Tell us your girth or we'll reduce your wages.

I bought another 10,000 shares today at average of 6.05 Lets see how who ahead two weeks from tomorrow. Whats your position?
I bought another 10,000 shares today at average of 6.05
Don't worry batzam I know its kyunkie up to his old tricks trying to blame this person, creating lies toward another person, and just crying like a baby since he lost over $60k telling everyone he wouldn't sell then sell his entire postion at $2.30.
Did batzem say another 10,000 shares. Did he have $120K tied up back then? No wonder he gets mad at everyone.
That stock Batzem always forgets I owned was NVLT. I bought that thing on the cheap and it rocked to $3. Just go read how many times I got one starred warning the board, not to get too confident and take some off the table. Granted I didn't sell all of it. But I did make a huge profit. Can you tell us Batzem how this call worked out for you? The only thing you did was make rory look smart and that is hard to do.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I like how Batzem wants to point out that I lost just a few bucks on a OEX PUT. He likes to forget that he was a buyer of SUPG at 6.05. How that work out Batzem. Maybe this explains the attitude. Great gamble of $60,500.00.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Yea you only ever lose a few bucks you're a genius . I also boght at 1.50 .171 205, I have an average price of a little over 3 bucks and trading profit of 85, 000 dollars on this stock.
As long as you're doing research why not go find your posts on how MP 470 would be a billion dollar drugl and the ones about the patent being extended and the ones about the financial system collapsing You are a fraud and a proven liar and the only one with proven multiple identities .
Why two weeks, never said anything about 2 weeks. $2 before $8.
I think that move will pay off. Just watched Cramer on TV and he said that market sell off should end Friday. The weekend will let everyone cool off and then buying will set in on Monday. Noticed that May Short Interest is down to 3.9M shares of SUPG. Previous month was 4.5M. I do feel that no one wants to be holding the bag when this stock is recognized for it's value. Just feel it in my bones that Manuso will have another nice announcement this month. Stock should respond positively.
Omg, I just did a search and sure enough there are loads of lawsuits on manipulation. I wonder if our village idoit wants to retract his statement. Thanks goodtobe...this was a eye opening post. You have a guy like Rory stating this stocks going to $2 and then he's shorting the stock and now posts that SUPG is aware that Mp-470 will fail.
You can post a opinion and as long as it's based on something the company has reported. But if you cross the line for personal gain, well I would be careful. Specially if your not liked to well. I don't know much about this drug and if they have failed any trials recently. I attended a conference a few months ago and about 25% of the time was addressing these kind of manipulations. They may seem harmless on the surface, but if a investor rely's on what you posted, you could be in for some serious expenses.
I picked up a few shares today after it bounced off the lows. Looks like a decent volume in after hours. No bad news so, if your long these are the ups and downs. No one has posted anything negative and the same fool is stating Mp-470 has already failed again with absolutely no logical reason. Looking for April numbers on Dacogen. MGI stated they were strong. I would think we see real appreciation as we get close to JNJ/MGI reporting AML results late this year. The second quarter will shape up very decent. I target above 7.00 going into numbers.
I wish I had shorted this one. I had some decent luck today shorting PHRM and VRTX. Covered late and expect a nice rebound in biotech's tomorrow. I have been watching this stock and like this board except one individual. I just read a few posts and I have just a little advice for this individual. If your short you have to be careful on stating a lie on a blog. If you google "blog lawsuits" you will find about a dozen lawsuits. They stem from poster's trying to manipulate the stock by posting lie's that investor rely on. I'm very careful not to post something that's detrimental to anyone's holdings. This persons posting about this drug failing and the company knowing it, could be harmless in nature but I would not post anything like this, if I had a negative postion.

Why wait till college? Start learning the technology and mechanics now. The more you can learn now, the more you may be able to do to impress someone during an internship down the road. Don't think of college as the final step before a job, just the NEXT step.Originally Posted by ZeLdA4LiFe
As for playing games in 20 years, I don't see why not, I see people over twice my age (I'm 26, so that makes them at least 52) playing games and thats more than 20 years.

Yes, yes, of course I will be, or else I'd think that my whole childhood was just a joke and time not well spent at all. I like gaming, and as for family, yeah, okay, but I don't plan on having kids, but my opinion may change probably not if child birth is still the way it is though. I'm sure I'd have a lot more money and there'd be bills and that, but anything free, I think a videogame would be better than a holiday.
As for technology advancing, I don't understand how my grandparents just totally lost the will to understand technology (as well as young people) because I think it's great learning new things, we're all getting used to moving on. I'm sure we could still keep up, I mean, there's a big difference between the 64 and the Wii, for me.
My mum still plays videogames, and loves Zelda because she never had it as a kid so now she's unleased it on her children, my mum is 38. In 20 years I'd be 36, damn right I'd have some videogaming life in me. (Unless there's arthritis >_>)
I love you, Adam.
Ouch....no kids because of child birth? I feel sorry for those kids :/
Hm....my uncle is the only one in my extended family that can tell you the difference between a wii and an nes..... I am such a Korean Sheep. (Black just doesn't fit..lol)
i definetly will be, i am open-minded to all games and i don't think that is ever going to stop
the mario that's roomed with mush
my wii is not connected to the internet, so i can't play brawl online for a bit....please do not spam inbox with friend code requests
I will be 33, >.<, on second thought maybe. It will probably really crazy though.
