It's a full-size Glock. Not sure if it's 22 or 17 though.
February 28, 2010, 12:34 AM
Sig 226 or 229 in 9mm for the PD or the SO...the SO has the .40 as an option
February 28, 2010, 12:53 AM
PD gets Glock 22 or 23 depending on fit, SO gets a certain amount of money from the county to buy a weapon that meets certain criteria. If a deputy wants a nice, expensive, decked out weapon he/she has to cover the difference in the purchase price, pay for practice ammo if the weapon is not a 9mm or .40 cal and pay for biannual armorer certifications if the SO doesn't have an armorer for that particular brand on staff.
There are 5 or 6 who carry really nice 1911's. I know 1 of them carries a Wilson Combat Elite CQB with all the aftermarket trimmings and a Crimson Trace.
February 28, 2010, 01:03 AM
mostly sigs. seen a glock once though.
February 28, 2010, 01:07 AM
6 surrounding counties: PD/Sheriff Dept. - G22
1 city PD - Sig 226
February 28, 2010, 02:42 AM
Sig 229 .40sw
February 28, 2010, 03:45 AM
PD - Sig 226 .40
SO - G22 or G23 (deputy's preference) .40
If you're in SWAT for PD/SO, when you're on a SWAT call you can carry whichever sidearm you want to. Lots of guys have moved to 1911's.
Staties - G21SF .45, unless you've been there forever, in which case you predate the mandatory issue clause, and you can carry whatever you want.
The surrounding PD's carry all Glocks, all G21's, G22's, or G23's. I don't know of a nearby department that carries anything in 9mm.
February 28, 2010, 05:00 AM
I carry the G22. All my other agencies around me, are G22 (x4) the SO being the wierd duck with the Sig 226 in .40
February 28, 2010, 06:20 AM
Some kind of Sig or the other. They all pretty much look the same to me.
February 28, 2010, 08:38 AM
Many State Police agencys have embraced the Glock .45 GAP. In my State its the G22. In our area, local Police have to choose the G17 or G19. After probation, they can choose from a list including 9mm/ .40/.45 Glocks, Sig DAK, XD and Baretta to name a few.
Many have S&W DAO such as 5946/6946 from the 1990s. These are the ones too lazy to upgrade. Many are happy with these S&W DAO pistols and see no reason to switch. Old timers still remain with grandfathered revolvers.

Glock 22 with Federal Hydrashocks
February 28, 2010, 10:32 AM
County Sherrif: Glock 22s in .40 S&W
Local PD: Full size Glock in 45 ACP (don't recall the model #).
I hear the most commonly carried BUG and off duty CCW of choice is the S&W 642.
February 28, 2010, 12:26 PM
Redlands Police Department = Deputy choice to purchase & use from a list of approved handguns.
San Bernardino County Sherrif = Glock 17 (9x19mm) or Glock 21 (.45ACP), deputy choice between the two.
Riverside County Sherrif = Deputy choice to purchase & use from a list of approved handguns.
California Highway Patrol = S&W Model 4006TSW (.40S&W).
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department = Officer choice to purchase & use from a list of approved handguns.
Nevada Highway Patrol = SIG P229DAK (.40S&W).
February 28, 2010, 01:43 PM
Hamilton County SD Indiana, Glock 22; Indiana State Police Glock 17.
February 28, 2010, 03:22 PM
Sig in 9, 40 or 45. DA/SA trigger.
February 28, 2010, 03:54 PM
Central PA here too, but we dont have a local police (not a bad thing :) ), so its the PSP, and their Glock 37's in .45GAP.
February 28, 2010, 04:00 PM
We're allowed to have Sig's, Beretta's, S&W's, and HK's.
I carry a Sig P220 Elite.
February 28, 2010, 04:02 PM
Tacoma Police use Kimber Pro Carry.
February 28, 2010, 04:06 PM
SIG P226 in .40 S&W. The RCMP carry the S&W 5946 I believe.....not complete sure though. Transit police carry the Glock 22.
February 28, 2010, 04:45 PM
Cincinnati PD, S&W M&P9. Magazine safety, no manual safety, no internal lock.
...M&P15's too.
February 28, 2010, 05:33 PM
Our city police have the Glock 22 and the Sheriffs patrol has the SIg in .40 . I wish the city had Glock 21's . I hate the .40 too snappy for me .
My 22 is 13 yrs old now and I am getting a replacement for it next week . The G-22 with the tact rails so we can have lights attached . I still dont like the .40 cartridge but I am greatfull for a new gun . My nightsites are still visible .
February 28, 2010, 05:36 PM
SIGs and Glocks mostly, but the state police carry the new Beretta PX4 (I'm guessing because Beretta USA is in MD).
February 28, 2010, 05:49 PM
G21 or a few selected firearms on our Directives allowed in .45 or .40. I carried a Wilson Combat CQB for about 3 years and am now selling it in the forums.
February 28, 2010, 06:10 PM
S&W M&P .40 recently replaced the S&W 4006
For some reason, almost all the law enforcement agencies here in Colorado pack S&Ws.
February 28, 2010, 06:24 PM
We carry Sig P-220's full size
February 28, 2010, 06:24 PM
Glock 22 loaded with RA40T (180gr Winchester Rangers, "Talon" series).
February 28, 2010, 06:25 PM
County Sig 226 .40
City Sig , Baretta, S&W 40/9 choice
February 28, 2010, 08:55 PM
For some reason, almost all the law enforcement agencies here in Colorado pack S&Ws.
Brand loyalty. S&W had a huge share of the LE market before the Glock Tsunami came along. Milwaukee just changed from Glock 22 to the M&P in .40 S&W. They just came full circle: Smith 10 (aka M&P) to Ruger .357 (with .38 spl loads) to Glock, to S&W's new M&P.
Most of the rest of the area still have Glocks in .40 S&W (22 or 23 depending on assignment) along with the odd 17/19 in 9mm.

County Deputy I know carries a XD in .40
The City LEO's carry Glocks.
March 1, 2010, 01:46 PM
Appear to be Glock 22 or 23, I think. I do know they are .40 S&W.

This is a very interesting discussion, especially the parts about the departments that allow their officers to select their weapons from a list.
My question is thus:
Our sheriff, who is by and large a just and intelligent man, has decreed that everyone who works patrol in our department will carry either a G22 or G23, and if he or she chooses to carry an ankle gun, it shall be a G27.
That way, should things "go totally to ****" (his words, not mine), we have mag compatibility with the rest of the department.
I find this to be an eminently sensible position, and I really wonder why more departments don't do this. Does anyone have any reasoning thus?
March 1, 2010, 02:35 PM
Whatever they can qualify with, minimum 9mm for auto and minimum .38 Special for revolver.
Just my .02,
March 1, 2010, 02:36 PM
Here in Arizona I've mostly seen Glocks of some sort, in .45 ACP. I don't know the model. Arizona's law enforcement agencies tend to prefer the .45. I believe officers can choose their sidearm, though.
Maybe slightly off-topic, but I had a friend who worked for an armed security company that required employees purchase their own sidearms. Company policy actually specifically banned Rugers as "unsafe". I found that extremely odd, being very familiar with Rugers myself.
March 1, 2010, 03:21 PM
New cadets is Austin are using S&W M&P .40s. Not sure about the older guys.
I've seen sheriff deputies and plain clothes cops (not sure what city, there are several departments in the area) carrying 1911s.
That way, should things "go totally to ****" (his words, not mine), we have mag compatibility with the rest of the department.
I find this to be an eminently sensible position, and I really wonder why more departments don't do this. Does anyone have any reasoning thus?
When I was in the Border Patrol they taught the same thing. It makes some sense.
The flip side of the coin is that some people shoot one gun better than another. In a deadly force situation, some departments have decided that the officer should have the gun that they are most comfortable with, shoot the best, have the most experience with, etc., and that this trumps magazine compatibility.
March 1, 2010, 03:39 PM
I looked it up online - they can choose any full size Glock in 9mm, .40S&W or .45 ACP with the NY trigger. A little more open for BUG (S&W, SIG, Glock, Walther and add .380, semi-auto only) though.
March 1, 2010, 04:03 PM
S&W M&P .40 or Glock 17/22

I don't know and I hope I never find out.
March 1, 2010, 04:25 PM
For my area, central PA, it would be the Glock 22.
Pretty sure it's the same here in western PA. The state parole board uses Glock 17s with 115 grain Gold Dots, or did a couple years ago at least.
March 1, 2010, 04:36 PM
Uniformed Officers carry the Glock 22. Dedectives and Chief carry Glock 27's. Were carrying S&W DA 9mm's before the change over two years ago.

March 1, 2010, 05:01 PM
Detroit PD just switched from .40 cal Glocks to .40 cal. S&W. I believe those are the M&P. I heard a lot of the Ex-PD Glocks went to Texas where incidentally our Ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick now resides after his trial and conviction.
March 1, 2010, 05:23 PM
Mostly glocks here with the local guys and sheriffs deputies. UAB campus police all using the XD (not sure what caliber). Some forestry guys just switched to Beretta px4's in .40. We see a little of everything around the Birmingham area!
March 1, 2010, 08:40 PM
NY State Police all carry Glock G37, 45 GAP.

I was getting worried that CZ would be left out of this poll.
March 2, 2010, 12:24 AM
Whatever the designation is for a .40 S&W Glock.
March 2, 2010, 01:19 AM
Mostly .40 Glocks, but the Washington state Patrol has switched to M&Ps. I'm with them, fantastic ergonomics on those weapons.
March 2, 2010, 02:53 PM
The flip side of the coin is that some people shoot one gun better than another. In a deadly force situation, some departments have decided that the officer should have the gun that they are most comfortable with, shoot the best, have the most experience with, etc., and that this trumps magazine compatibility.
I would rather an officer be armed with the model & caliber of gun they are most comfortable with (within reason of course) than be able to swap mags in some scenario that is not likely to occur. When my dad & uncles worked the road they carried 18 rounds of .357 magnum, and it was a lot easier to shoot at people back then. The modern officer carries upwards of 40 rounds or more if he is carrying a high capacity semi-auto.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol issues the Sig P226 in .357SIG, Remington 870 shotguns, and Colt AR carbines in 5.56 (not sure which model).
The Oklahoma City Police formerly issued Glock 22s, but traded them all back to Glock for 9mm & .45 ACP models (officers choice) because of feed reliability issues with the Glock 22, especially when equipped with a weapon-mounted light.
Both agencies have lists of approved firearms that can be carried if purchased by the officer.
March 2, 2010, 03:59 PM
My local police dept just went from Glock 23 and 27 back up to Gen 4 19 and 26. I havent had a chance to shoot the Gen 4 but from what I hear they are pleased. I believe our local Sherriffs dept is using 45 Glocks unsure the model number.
March 2, 2010, 04:40 PM
Glocks of some sort.
March 2, 2010, 10:01 PM
Not sure about local police but the VA State police carry the Sig P229 DAK in .357 SIG
March 2, 2010, 11:25 PM
My county sheriff dept. gets to choose from a large list of approved autos. Most carry the Glock 21 though.
March 2, 2010, 11:45 PM
Most all the city PDs around here carry Glocks in .40. Full size for the unis and the plainclothes can use the compact if they want. A previous Sheriff, OTOH, seemed to like the .45 and issued the S&W 4506 to his deputies around 10 years ago. Either they are happy with them, or can't afford to replace them because they still carry them.
March 2, 2010, 11:53 PM

I find this to be an eminently sensible position, and I really wonder why more departments don't do this. Does anyone have any reasoning thus? I think the reason all departments haven't done this is because, as others have mentioned, it also makes sense for officers to have some flexibility in choosing the sidearm they shoot best.
Besides, if things go to hell in a handbasket and the guy next to you has expended the 50+ rounds most officers carry for their sidearm, without solving the problem, do you really want to give him your ammo to waste too?
March 3, 2010, 12:02 AM
I am assuming in my area they have a list to choose from because I have the gambit carried by local guys. I have notice more M&P 40's recently, but I have also seen the G21 G23, the Sig 229 cal?, and even one 1911.
March 3, 2010, 12:24 AM
Starts with a G.
State, county and munis.
March 3, 2010, 04:23 AM
Glock 22 with 180 grn Federal HST
Glock 21 with 230 grn Federal HST is an option but have to purchase it.
Can also get a 23, 27 or 30 depending on duty type or as backup.
Aslo any Ruger or Smith .357/.38 with a 4 inch barrel or less for back up.
March 3, 2010, 09:51 AM
I live on the border of two counties, one Sheriff dept. carries the Glock 17 w/ Win Ranger 127gr +p+, the other Glock 22 w/ 180gr Gold Dot.
One city carries the SIG P220 w/ 230grGD, the other has the Glock 22 w/ 180grGD.
The Highway Patrol is in the process of transitioning from the SIG P229 DAK in .357 SIG to the S&W M&P357, both carrying the Win Ranger 125gr jhp
The State Dept. of Corrections carries the S&W M&P40 w/ Rem 180gr jhp but is switching to the 180gr GD for the duty load.
The Tribal Police has the Glock 31 in .357 w/ Win Ranger 125gr JHP.
March 3, 2010, 04:33 PM
WVa State police carry 1911's but I don't know who the manufacturer is. My local cities and counties carry Glock.
March 3, 2010, 04:41 PM
My department issues the Glock 22. We can carry any Glock chambered in .40 as long as we qualify with it, but we have to purchase it personally. Sometimes I carry a G27 if I know I'm not leaving the office.
March 3, 2010, 04:51 PM
Besides, if things go to hell in a handbasket and the guy next to you has expended the 50+ rounds most officers carry for their sidearm, without solving the problem, do you really want to give him your ammo to waste too?
To me, anyway, I think it would be a good idea at a "higher" logistical level. If the crap really hits the fan for an extended period, a standardized police department can just say "everyone has to carry 3 times as much ammo; here's a big pile of Glock 22 magazines which will fit in all three of the guns which we allow you to carry."
One that allows officers to carry whatever they like would be forced to say "here's a big pile of Glock 22 magazines and .40 S&W ammo for the conformists, and everyone else has to fend for themselves." And if the crap has really hit the fans, ammo and mags will be very scarce, so officers with non-standard firearms, who didn't already have a big stockpile of mags and ammo, will suddenly find themselves in a tight spot.
Or let's say it really really hits the fan, and mobs of zombies/rioters/terrorists/whatever are attacking the police station. The guys with standard firearms will be able to keep shooting for a long time, but if you've got something non-standard, your ammo/mag supply may be limited to just what you have on you. And if there aren't enough spare guns around, then the people who carried the guns they shot better, after 50 shots they end up stuck on mag-loading duty for everyone else instead of shooting.
That's my take on it, anyway.
March 3, 2010, 05:30 PM
Just FWIW S&W is giving alot of PD's the new M&Ps. Departments are getting them not necessarily because they are the best out there but because the price is right, free. Our department was going to switch to Glock 19s but instead S&W GAVE us brand new M&P 9s. I personally do not like them at all, the trigger reset is nonexistent and breakdown is unnecessarily complicated.
Anyway, just because alot of departments are "going to S&W" does not mean they are switching because they are necessarily better than what they were using before.
March 3, 2010, 05:44 PM
In the southeast quadrant of Texas, local agencies don't tend to issue firearms; LEOs buy our own, within specified guidelines. Texas DPS, which includes state troopers, are issued SIG P226 DAK pistols chambered in 357 SIG.
I am not supposed to discuss department policy, so I can't say where I work and also quote our weapons policy. My agency is a big-city PD, and specifies certain "double action" autos chambered in .40 S&W. My choice, bought with my money, is the SIG P229. The most popular choice among recent rookies has been the S&W M&P, followed by the Glock G22.
March 3, 2010, 06:03 PM
A bit of follow-up, after reading some of the other posts:
I do strongly believe in peace officers being given some amount of latitude in choosing their duty handguns. I would consider early retirement if forced to carry a Glock. I did try a G22 for over two years, but could never learn to shoot it with precision, compared to how I had shot my previous duty handguns, from sixguns to 1911s. The Glock's grip is too thick, and it sits so low in my hand, that my trigger finger rubs the frame during the trigger pull. The first affects recoil control, the second affects practical accuracy.
I can indeed fire a qualifying score with a Glock, but am not satisfied with mediocrity.

Sherman, TX PD carries Glock 17s, the Grayson County Sheriffs Dept issue some kind of metal-frame classic series S&W, unsure of model. The bailiffs at the courthouse carry all sorts of guns, including one with a nickel Colt Combat Commander, one with what I think is a Kimber, and one that still carries some sort of huge revolver (maybe a .44 mag?)
March 4, 2010, 10:21 AM
Oddly, the Kentucky State Patrol uses Glock 35s with the cutout and everything.
March 4, 2010, 03:45 PM
Unfortunately, most of the local police, Sheriff's dept. and State Police issue Glock 22's in .40S&W, for their patrol officers. However I think the locals and sheriff deputies can buy their own providing it meets certain criteria. I'm not sure about plain clothed officers.

Mostly Glock 22's in my area. 1 or 2 locals might still have 9mm G17's.
March 4, 2010, 09:50 PM
My Dept issues Sig P220, the County Police carry Sig P220's and the larger City Dept carries a Glock 17 (or 19 for their plainclothes).

For someone as obsessed with television as I am, the prospect of four months without new episodes of my shows is a maddening one. Thankfully, mid-July is finally upon us, and I can take comfort in the knowledge that most television shows have began production for the 2011-2012 season. To honor this momentous occasion, I will be detailing my wishes upcoming seasons of my beloved shows. I will do a different show every week, so stay tuned for your favorites and feel free to chime in too. First up: arguably the best rookie show of last season, CBS' "Hawaii Five-0."
The first season of this high-octane cop drama offered an intense, physical outlet for smoldering Aussie Alex O'Loughlin ("The Back-Up Plan") and a platform for Scott Caan's trademark snark ("Entourage") as Lt. Cmdr. Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams respectively. The re-boot of the popular '70s series is faster, denser, and at times, unexpectedly touching. This is a show that actually understands that people may come for the crimes and exotic locale, but fans stay for the personal dramas and relationships of the men and women that make up the Five-0 taskforce.
The season finale left McGarrett under arrest for allegedly murdering Governor Jameson (Jean Smart); Chin Ho Kelly seemingly switching sides to become an HPD Lieutenant and Steve's arresting officer; Kono identified as a suspect in the multi-million dollar theft of a secret HPD evidence locker; and Danny expecting another child with his ex-wife Rachel, who fled to New Jersey while his team was crumbling.
Although little needs to be done to this thrill-packed legal drama, it could use some minor tweaks. Here are my wishes:
More Bromance. Sure, there are gruesome crimes to solve, including the ever-deepening rabbit-hole of McGarrett's parents murders, but what I love the most is the growing, unabashed bromance between my favorite Navy SEAL and New Jersey detective. Behind the macho disses and jabs, there is real man-love brewing between Danno and Steve; one calls the other "babe," and draws him air hearts, the other calls in favors with the governor to get him to stay on the island. It's mildly dysfunctional (as I believe Danny is a surrogate father for Steve), endearing and more than a little hot.
Danny needs to confront his ex-wife. Danny is a wonderful father, and I love him for it. However, the most unbelievable, shark-jumping arc in the finale was when Danny agreed to uproot his life again on a whim and move back to New Jersey after learning that his ex-wife and current fling, Rachel, was pregnant and suddenly desperate to leave the island (even though she had approximately 742 loose ends left in Hawaii, starting with the end of her marriage). I'm not sure why Rachel must hop continents every time she dates a new man or if the pregnancy is even real. It infuriated me that Danny, a man who will battle international terrorists with enthusiastic glee, couldn't or wouldn't stand up to the woman who stole custody of his daughter, and moved 5,000 miles away. As brainless as it was for Steve to break into the governor's mansion twice, it took serious cojones and he got answers. I sincerely wish that Steve teaches his partner about courage and nerve, and that Danno confronts Rachel (Claire van der Boom) in the premiere. After Steve gets out of jail, of course.
Love interest for McGarrett. TVLine.com reports that Lauren German ("Happy Town") will be one of many new additions to the Five-0 team (also joining the show are "Heroes" Masi Oka; "Saving Private Ryan's" Tom Sizemore; "Lost's" Terry O'Quinn; and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Richard T. Jones). German will play a former Homeland Security Officer appointed by the new Governor (Jones) to keep the Five-0 crew in check. Personally, I'm rolling my eyes over the casting of what sounds like a female version of McGarrett as a potential love interest, because that's not at all clichéd. I would love for Steve to chase a woman as passionately and creatively as he pursues drug dealers and human traffickers. I just wish that the possible future Mrs. Navy SEAL wasn't a female ninja with a penchant for armed conflict and love of firearms. That relationship would most likely end in an elaborate bloody tragedy. Also, I dug the awkward and adorable bond simmering between McGarrett and CIA desk jockey Jenna Kaye played with quirky pizzazz by Larisa Oleynik. She is peculiar, intelligent and fun, exactly what the stern, clinical, somewhat traumatized McGarrett needs.
Focus on Main Five-0 Members. With the influx of many new faces, I am concerned that "Hawaii Five-0" might lose track of the originals who made the adrenaline-packed series the success it is in order to explore the lives of the shiny new characters. The show is about Steve, Danno, Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) and Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park) and the picturesque paradise that is Hawaii. While I am genuinely excited and intrigued by the new additions and a more cohesive crime-solving team, I wish that the heart of the show will continue to be Hawaii's fantastic four.
More action. I happily confess that I am a sucker for exhilarating action and gratuitous violence, and "Hawaii Five-0" delivers sequences worthy of a summer blockbuster. Next to the bromance and the unconstitutional torture and interrogation of deserving bad guys, it's the most entertaining part of the show, so I want more car chases, explosions and combat.
Find out if my wishes come true when the second season of "Hawaii Five-0" returns on Sept. 19.
Check out the climax of "Hawaii Five-0's" badass first season!

Samsung has plans to announce a new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-powered smartphone at the annual Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona later this month. An image of the unknown device was published on Thursday by industry insider Eldar Murtazin, though no additional details were provided. The handset looks very similar to Samsung's Galaxy S II handset, but the buttons beneath the display have clearly been updated to support Android 4.0. The phone is likely not the upcoming flagship Galaxy S III, however, as Samsung recently stated that its Galaxy S II successor would not be announced at MWC. The phone is also likely not the rumored Galaxy S II Plus according to benchmark test results that surfaced recently,

In general, for the rest of the season, would Laurent Robinson or Mike Sims-Walker be better than D.Mason, J.Gage or W.Parker? (1pt for 20yds rush and 10yds rec). Thanks!

If Sims-Walker becomes Jax's top receiver, then he's better than Gage or Parker. But it's probably too early to tell. I think Robinson is probably going to be slightly better than Gage for the rest of the season, so I might make that move.
If you can sell high on Gage, I'd do so.
I'd certainly replace Parker and maybe replace Mason with either of those. Parker's not getting it done and might get the hook, although Mendenhall isn't exactly setting the world on fire. Mason seems like he always puts up exactly six points a week.
Of the two I like Walker slightly over Robinson. Similar situations, both talented, but Walker's QB is a little better. But I may not have any idea what I'm talking about.

A coalition of federal and local law enforcement agencies unveiled a new campaign Tuesday to reduce the number of children victimized and sexually exploited on the Internet.
The initiative, Project iGuardian, focuses on educational programs in and around schools, and is designed to inform youths about the risks they face when surfing the web. The initiative also aims to arm parents with knowledge and resources to help protect their children. Educational programs will tailored to specific age groups, and utilize a "think before you click" slogan to help youths remember to be cautious when using the Internet.
Project iGuardian is a joint initiative of the U.S. Customs and Immigration and Homeland Security Investigations, the lead investigative agency responsible for securing a multi-defendant indictment in a massive nationwide child pornography ring with ties to St. Tammany Parish.
That investigation has so far netted 25 arrests and 14 federal indictments, 11 of which are being prosecuted in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The child pornography ring, who authorities say was run by 27-year-old Abita Springs resident Jonathan Johnson, had 27,000 members and offered tutorials on ways to coerce minors into sex acts. So far three defendants have pleaded guilty to various child pornography charges, and prosecutors say they have identified more than 250 victims.
(Below, view a video by Peter Nissan from the father of a young woman who was the victim of 'sexploitation.')
HSI, which in the past year opened 4,000 investigations, will work with local law enforcement agencies from 61 Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces across the country to administer Project iGuardian workshops.
"Educating parents and children about the dangers that exist online is one of the most important actions HSI can take to help protect everyone from online sexual predators," said HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Raymond R. Parmer Jr., who oversees five southern states, including Louisiana, in a news release.
The Project iGuardian intiative is also being supported by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an advocacy organization that helped develop educational materials. The national announcement took place Tuesday in Mission Viejo, Calif. on Tuesday morning.
Organizations and schools interested in requesting a Project iGuardian presentation can do so using a link on ICE's website.

Need to plan appointments better, i've waited for 1-1 1/2 hour each time i have an appointment, then get in put into a room wait another 20 minutes and then see doctor for only 5 minutes... Very very fustrating!!
Took her over 60 days to review an abnormal test results. Very difficult person.
She is a lovely person who is caring and seems dedicated and knowlegable. It is such a shame her office is managed so terribly. Plan on waiting an hour or more in dirty old office where forced to sit on hard school like chairs and stare at a television set or other patients. I don't think they are computerized as one sees piles and piles of files like you used to see in the 1970 offices. One time the office staff ignored the fact an elderly patient soiled his pants while waiting in the waiting room for a long time, and I had to go complain that the smell was making the rest of us gag. I dread going to the office, but no choices. We have one million people in Hawaii, probably thousands with kidney problems. But only three doctors who specialize in Kidneys. Once Dr Kaanehe came to the office even though she was sick because she knew if she didn't help people out, they would have to wait months for another appointment.It is a very serious problem we have in Honolulu.

Sharp-Tongued Favre Offers Sterling Criticism
Don't tell quarterback Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers that the team is supposed to be missing wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, who is sitting out the season with a neck injury and will be an ESPN commentator.
"I haven't noticed him gone because he never practiced or played in preseason games anyway," Favre said.
"Sterling averaged 100 catches the last few years, but think back. He never really had to make any acrobatic catches or diving layouts. Our offense is designed to get him open and, of course, for me to make a great throw."
The outspoken Favre also isn't happy with tight end Keith Jackson, who's refusing to report to camp after being traded to Green Bay by the Miami Dolphins.
"I would suspect he doesn't want to go to training camp and he'll pick up the offense by midseason when we've maybe lost two games because of it. That doesn't make me real happy," Favre said.
Panther no-shows
The Carolina Panthers, spending their first season away from Charlotte, N.C., attracted a crowd of only 57,107 for Saturday night's 19-10 victory over Denver in the Panthers' home exhibition opener on the Clemson University campus.
The 2-1/2-hour trip from Charlotte to Memorial Stadium is expected to keep Carolina from reaching capacity crowds of 76,000 at "Death Valley" during the team's inaugural campaign.
Sanders sweepstakes
After Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, said his team had a 20 percent chance of signing Deion Sanders, Pat Bowlen, the owner of the Denver Broncos, said, "I think our chances of signing Deion are every bit as good as the Cowboys'. I really do."
The San Francisco 49ers remain the favorite to get Sanders, though.
Beaming over Bjornson
The Cowboys are gleeful over the early performance of rookie tight end Eric Bjornson, a fourth-round pick from Washington. "In the two-tightend packages, he provides something we haven't had," Troy Aikman said. "In the past, when we've had two tight ends in there, teams knew we planned to run the football. But now we could just as easily throw the football."
End zone
Giants left guard Scott Davis, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament and damaged the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Friday night in a preseason game against New Orleans, is expected to be out for the season… . Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tim McGee still had some numbness in his hands and feet Saturday, a day after he was knocked unconscious in an exhibition game. . . . Tampa Bay's Alvin Harper is expected to miss three to five weeks with a sprained knee. But he promises he'll be back for the season opener Sept. 3 against the Eagles… . Now that the Packers have signed guard John Flannery, they are considering moving former first-round draft pick Aaron Taylor to tackle… . Browns quarterback Vinny Testaverde will remain hospitalized until at least Tuesday after undergoing surgery for a staph infection in his leg. Rookie Eric Zeier of Georgia is expected to start Monday night's preseason game against the Bears.

What makes college football so exciting and full of energy?
In a word—fans.
It's all about the fans when it comes to college football.
Stadiums fill up to 100,000-plus with crazed fans locked shoulder-to-shoulder to go wild for their team every Saturday.
There are certain fan bases, though, that gain a reputation as a nasty group allowing no mercy for visiting opponents.
Sometimes it's all about one small chant; other times it's simply everything about these fans that strikes fear in their opponents' hearts.
Here is a look at the 15 most ravenous and boisterous fan bases in college football.

Back in February, Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars said he wanted to re-sign Tayshaun Prince. On Thursday, Dumars got his wish, agreeing to a four-year contract with the veteran small forward.
The Pistons do not release the financial details of their contracts, but multiple reports indicate Prince will earn $27 million over the course of the four-year deal.
Prince was an unrestricted free agent after finishing up his five-year, $47 million contract extension last season. He earned more than $11 million in 2010-11.
Prince has spent his entire nine-year career with the Pistons after being drafted by the organization in the first round of the NBA Draft out of Kentucky in 2002. For his career, he's averaged 12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
A Pistons team source also confirmed forward Jonas Jerebko has agreed to re-sign with Detroit for four years. His deal is valued at $18 million.
"I'm very happy to be back in The Palace and to play for the Detroit Pistons," Jerebko wrote in a statement on his official website. "Can't wait to step on the floor again and show all the Detroit fans that I'm back. It's been a long summer and I'm ready to play. Very happy to be a Piston for the next four years and more to come"
Jerebko, a restricted free agent, missed the entire 2010-11 season with an Achilles tendon tear sustained in the Pistons preseason opener. As a rookie the season before, he started 73 games, averaging 9.3 points and 6.0 rebounds.
With Prince and Jerebko back in the fold that leaves point guard Rodney Stuckey as the Pistons last remaining question mark. The four-year veteran is considered one of the top guards on the free agent market, and is likely command an annual salary in the $7-9 million range. As a restricted free agent, the Pistons will have the right to match any offer Stuckey receives.
The big concern among Pistons fans, especially if Detroit re-signs Stuckey as well, is that the roster will look remarkably similar to the one that has won just 57 games over the past two seasons.
The Pistons will still have the mid-level exception at their disposal, a four-year contract starting at $5 million per season, but that's unlikely to net a difference-maker.
Detroit could also make a trade or two before the season starts. Much was made of Dumars being hand-cuffed from making moves while the sale of the franchise was pending last season, but with new owner Tom Gores in place, that's no longer the case.

This might be a foolish question but here it goes. I believe I eat a healthy, natural diet but my meals are extremely varied because of travel. Do not always know what will be available to me so I make the best choices possible.
For example, one day I may consume many vegetables, nuts and fruits and very little animal protein. But the next day, it might be the opposite. Lots of animal protein but very few vegetables, nuts and fruits.
Question is, can a body build or store the antioxidants and nutrients and have them carry over. Or does the body need that constant and relieable drip, drip, drip, of fruits and vegetables.
(Yes, I am aware of the 80% good/20% relaxed rule but I am thinking more long term and big picture.)
PS I am looking for more fact based/science answers and not first person experiences in order to keep the discussion focused.
it really depends on the nutrient. fat-soluble nutrients will stay in the body until they're used (and thus you can OD on them). Water-soluble nutrients will usually be excreted if you've over-consumed them. i think there are exceptions, but i do not know the details.

As the innings passed by on Thursday, and the Indians attempted to push a run across the plate in extra innings of a tie game by sending guys like Aaron Cunningham to the plate, I thought two things:
1. Who is Aaron Cunningham?
2. Maybe the Tribe should have signed Casey Blake after all.
The me of five years ago would have shook his head in disbelief. Aside from mediocre 1980s reliever Rich Yett and 2007 utility out machine Mike Rouse, Blake ranked as my least-liked Indian of all time.
It had nothing to do with Blake personally, who played for the Indians from 2003-2008. He is, by all accounts, a wonderful human being, and he became, as I later came to begrudgingly admit, a fine ballplayer.
But he drove me crazy from 2005-07, as the Indians kept starting him at an RBI spot (third, first, right field) and kept watching him fail to come up with big hits.
In two of those three seasons, the Tribe was a playoff contender. The organization has been hinting to people that it is again, despite an offseason that contradicts that belief.
Again, who is Aaron Cunningham?
As I write this, Blake's career seems close to over. He was released by the Rockies last week, and hasn't been picked up by anyone. I'm not sure if the 38-year old can help the Indians, but after watching the offense that is weaker than a failed drug test excuse over the last three days, it might be worth a shot.
Blake used to drive me crazy. He arrived in Cleveland the same year as former manager Eric Wedge, and for the next five and a half years, was a regular in the Tribe's lineups.
His statistics were never all that bad overall. He never hit less than 17 homers in a season with the Tribe, and his average was usually around .260 or better. Well, aside from an abysmal 2005 when he hit .241. That was when the Indians bottom three batters consisted of Ben Broussard, Aaron Boone and Blake. It was where rallies went to die.
But Blake's main problem was hitting with runners in scoring position.
For his career, Blake has hit .274 with
the bases empty, but just .237 with runners at second or third. With two outs, his average drops to .224.
Things were more pronounced when the Indians won the division in 2007. Blake hit .271 and had 18 homers, but hit just .190 with runners in scoring position and .163 with runners in scoring position and two out.
It always seemed like Blake did his hitting when games weren't tight, and yet, Wedge, who like Blake graduated from Wichita State, stuck with him.
It always seemed like the Indians wanted people to believe that Blake was better than he was. The Indians' TV network, SportsTime Ohio, once did a special on him. One time the Indians' Web Site asked what the Indians best opening day moment was. The choices included Bob Feller's no-hitter, Frank Robinson's homer in his first season as manager, and Wayne Kirby's game winning single the season Jacobs Field opened.
And then there was Casey Blake's grand slam in 2006.
Who, aside from Indians' fanatics like Calvert baseball coach Matt Coleman, even remember that?
Things like this bothered me to no end. On the blog I was writing at the time, I started a daily "Casey Blake Watch," where I basically kept track of how many runners he stranded each game.
But the Indians got hot late in that season, and Blake was a big part of it. He hit a game-winning homer in a crucial game against the Tigers, and another big blast against the Red Sox in the ALCS. The Indians were a game away from the World Series, and Blake was a big reason why.
I finally acknowledged that yes, Blake was a good player, and was a big reason why the Indians were so close to the Fall Classic.
Then the Red Sox won two games to even the series.
Then came Game 7,
The Indians trailed 3-2 in the top of the seventh. With runners on the corners and one out, Blake came up and hit into a double play. Then to start the eighth, Blake made an error at third. The Red Sox scored eight runs over the next two innings and won 11-2.
The loss can't be blamed on Blake. The Indians were outscored, after all, 30-5 over the series' final three games. But it was the end of that group of Indians being contenders.
Blake played very well in 2008, but the Indians didn't. With the Tribe out of contention in July, the Tribe shipped him to Los Angeles for Carlos Santana.
It's amazing to me that the Blake trade netted a better player than either of the CC Sabathia or Cliff Lee deals. So I will always be grateful to Casey for that.
If Blake's career is over, it was a solid one, especially for a guy who didn't see regular playing time until he was 29. If it isn't, then the Indians should call him and give him another chance to surprise everyone.
At least this time we all know who Casey Blake is.
Seriously, who is Aaron Cunningham?

Help me to execute this c program
i need a help in executing a for loop... the output should be in the form as below
how to do it..
im new to learn c language..
help me
Re: Help me to execute this c program
You created the same thread more than once and also in the wrong forum and I have moved them into C-C++ forum for better response.
Also regarding your question I guess you need to look into using loops because this question is just a one line program using loops
Re: Help me to execute this c program
Build it up bit by bit.
Start with a for loop that displays a number of asterisks. Make it so that you can set the number, e.g.
int num=10; // this determines the number we print
Then enclose that lot in a loop that varies the value of num. By the looks of it each line is one asterisk longer than the previous so that should be easy.

The Three Revolving Eugenes souvenir postcard
Late 19th century
Black and white photolithograph
This souvenir postcard of the Eugenes shows the three of them safely on the ground. The diagram above gives some idea of how audiences were more used to seeing them. The Revolving Eugenes were stage aerialists. Their act combined tightrope and trapeze work and, as there were three of them, both types could happen simultaneously. So, in the picture, the gentleman cycles on a grid of tightropes, while the ladies swing elegantly beneath him.

How to Buy Someone a Technology Related Gift
Reader Comments (28)
Remember when Best Buy had a DVD selection? And a CD selection? And a game selection? And a selection of computers, components, and software?
Memories are all I have too. That's why I do more shopping on Amazon.
Did I just read a commercial?
I don't have a TV, so is there a way to legally stream cable TV channels onto my PC without all those extra ugly cables - or paying extra for cable TV? :-)
Shoot... I have a Roku. What's the other way?
As others have mentioned, Chromecast was the other one we considered for Al. ~Missy
Sponsered by Roku. And dont forget to use his amazon affiliate link!
Have you considered a Chromecast?
Well, you just read a really *good* commercial.
Merry Christmas.
I can think of two more options: Apple TV (nice selection, world's crappiest remote control), and the one I just bought for myself last week, Google Chromecast. Let me start by saying that I was a Google fanboy even before buying the dongle, so feel free to believe there's a noticeable bias.
Chromecast is awesome. Since the interface is your phone and/or Chrome browser on a PC, there's nothing new to learn. Instead of having an app that you have to flip to with an image of a remote on your device, it just lets you use the apps that are already on your device-- youtube, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, etc. Control over the media, and the integration with the dongle, is smooth and elegant.
If Apple had done this with Apple TV, they would've cornered the market and left everyone else in the dust. I'm noticeably not an Apple fanboy, but I'll grant that they've consistently made the best UIs over the years. Not this time. Steve Jobs is turning over so rapidly in his grave over this one that we could hook him up to a turbine and have free energy.
I got myself a Chromecast last week. I am in Netflix heaven.
On an unrelated note, there are people who don't bring laptops to the living room (and kitchen and bathroom and porch) with them? Luddites.
Did Al just use lower case?
Remember when Best Buy had a DVD selection? And a CD selection? And a game selection? And a selection of computers, components, and software? Memories are all I have too. That's why I do more shopping on Amazon.
I remember the early years of the 21st century, when going to Best Buy with my friends on Tuesday -- when the new DVDs were released -- used to be a ritual I looked forward to. Shopping for media and gadgets and computer parts wasn't just an economic transaction, it was a social activity.
I can even remember the early days of web commerce, when Amazon was primarily a book seller, and I purchased my DVDs and CDs and computer parts (and sometimes even books!) from other web sites, most whose names I can't even recall now. That went on until around 2004 or 2005.
While I really enjoy the convenience and pricing of shopping at Amazon, there's often this slight voice in the back of my mind making me feel that something has been lost. Or maybe it's just me getting old. Now excuse me, while I go tell some kids to get off of my lawn...
Did I just read a commercial?
Possibly, but I thought the point of the cartoon was that the "gift" wasnt so much the Roku itself, but the act of setting it up for Al.
As for mentioning "Amazon," "Best Buy", and "Roku", I'm not sure how else this comic could have been made. People do talk like the characters in the strip -- especially since Basic Instructions is based on real life people -- so it's not necessarily evidence of a sponsored comicial.
I think what I covet here is not so much someone buying me a Roku (we do Netflix over a PS3), nor setting it up (I set up and maintain our home network), but rather being so well off that I would consider buying a friend technological devices. That said, I did just buy the wife a bicycle with accessories (her first bike! at 51! go figure!), which was an amazingly expensive proposition (not in the way you might think (proposition, not expensive)).
I don't know how if they'd want a commercial that amounts to "Roku - because you're dumb."
Can Scott come over and set up the roku we got for Xmas? Thanks.
I bought myself a Chromecast a few months ago, and I love it. I got one for my cousin's husband for Christmas and even though he's an iOS guy, he was very happy to receive it. They're so friggin' easy, a child could do it.
Then again, kids seem to be better than me at most of this stuff these days.
My bad. 1000 apologies. As a newish commentator I reacted seasonally and lashed out at what on the surface is a product endorsement but on at least three levels, equally on the surface, is a serious observation of our culture displayed with your usual subtle style. As a fan of your word choices I rely on the letters rather than the font or the picture or person who speaks those words. That reliance failed me today; however I learned an important lesson: "wait for it".
I now see that Al, bless her heart, was so insecure upon seeing her gift that she was swallowing her words as she almost backed out of the frame to create distance between her and the unknown . You even left a space for us as a clue before you came to her rescue and gave her back her confidence and her font. I apologize again for my knee jerk comment. You deserve better.
I will, in future, wait for it. Thank you for what is my favorite comic .
HDMI cable and laptop, digital antenna, xbox 360 with netflix and no cable bill. We pretty much watch everything we used to watch.
I bought two chromecasts for two TVs we have. On one, installing it was simple and easy. On the other, it isn't installed because installing it was difficult. The difference? the difficult TV was older. So, if you have a new or newish TV, it will be easy. If not, nope. The socket the Chromecast needs to go into does not exist on older TVs. (The older TV is the old TV shape, but the new TV type, flatscreen - so it isn't as old as the really old CRT TV that I didn't even buy a Chromecast for because I knew it wouldn't work.)
We have a roku because we wanted an easy way to watch Netflix on the living room TV which, at the time, was an older CRT set with RCA jacks (no HDMI).
It still works great, but I'm now interested in this Chromecast dongle idea. I wonder what are the privacy concerns?
I don't know if they behave differently in the US, but Amazon have had their name sullied in the UK thanks to their interpretation of tax laws.
Amazon's UK subsidiary paid only £2.4 million in corporate taxes in 2012, despite making sales of £4.3 billion.
Incidentally, this was just a little less than the £2.5m aid it received from the Scottish government last year to expand its warehouse operations in Dunfermline and Gourock.
They are not doing anything 'illegal'. They are just following the letter of the law, rather than the spirit of the law.
Most of their customers don't seem to have an issue with this, but many think it gives them an unfair advantage to drive smaller UK based retailers and independent stores out of the market.
Do we want to end up in a world where there is just one place left to shop?
Note from Scott: I'll fight the urge to make the joke about Jimmy Carr doing their commercials. I'm sure it's been done a million times on that side of the pond.
Over here the big Amazon tax debate is about whether they should be paying individual state taxes on every purchase.
I'm not in favor of a world where there is only one place to buy things. I'm in favor of competition, and right now Amazon is presenting the most attractive option for me on a lot of fronts (I'm no journalist, but in the name of full disclosure I'll point out that I'm currently writing novels for 47North, the Science Fiction imprint of Amazon Publishing). I fully expect someone to come along eventually and blind-side them, just like they blindsided the bigbox book and electronics stores. That seems to be the pattern.
When Jimmy Carr was having his trouble I attempted to write a comic about it. I gave up because it would take too much explaining for the American audience, starting with who Jimmy Carr is. It struck me at the time that people were outraged by his behavior over there, but if one of our celebrities got caught employing (what I think was) a legal loop hole to avoid paying most of his taxes, Americans would just shrug. Most of us aren't happy about it, but we assume rich people do that all the time. Many of the remaining Americans would look on with admiration, waiting for the day when they are rich enough to evade their taxes as well.
It's as if, in this country, we've just accepted that one of the perks of being wealthy is the ability to weasel out of your responsibilities. In reality, I don't think the wealthy get away with nearly as much as we non-wealthy citizens think they do, but the ones who do get away with things are often highly visible. Donald Trump has gone bankrupt four times. When asked about it, he says "I do play with the bankruptcy laws — they're very good for me."
I'll get off my soap box now. I'm an American. I believe in free enterprise. I also believe in integrity, and I can't look at Donald Trump without scowling. Even his hair is a lie.
This is EXACTLY why I can't get my mother anything technical for xMas. I live too far away and can't get there to set it up.
She need wireless headphones and I can't trust my brother-in-law to set them up.
scgvlmike: Apple TV also lets you stream content from apps via AirPlay. Chromecast copied that functionality.
@Jason Toddman:
HD Home Run (silicondust.com) is the thing you need.
Just wanted to support some of the Roku love, counterbalancing the Chromecast lovers out there.
The Chromecast may be great for us nerds. It does a lot, has a great price point.
The Roku is the one I would give my mother.
"Two countries divided by a common language."
Except 'living room'. I know what one of those is.
I'm one of those that has a PC, PS3, 360, etc hooked up to my TV. I've never looked at devices like Roku/Chromecast since they just seem redundant to me, but I guess most people don't have a computer in every room, lol.
My two main shopping places are Amazon and New Egg; Amazon Prime just makes things easy - love the 2 day shipping. I still do hit my local Best Buy though, and usually buy my movies there (it's just a few minutes from my house). My Best Buy actually has a decent selection of stuff, I go there quite often. But agreed, their cable prices are insane, hahah! I usually buy cables off Amazon, or cablewholesale.com, a place I didn't know about until my friend showed it to me fairly recently.

The Graduate Students Association (GSA) at International University Bremen invites proposals for papers and workshops for its 2nd Open Graduate Students Conference.
p>As an open forum for intellectual exchange and discussion, the conference aims to continue and increase inter- and transdisciplinary exchange between young scholars with a variety of research interests and academic disciplines both from the humanities and social sciences as well as the natural sciences.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the concepts of inter- and transdisciplinarity have become fashionable catchphrases, highlighting the necessity for constant reflection and interchange between formerly established academic disciplines. Often enough, however, academic practice makes it all too obvious that the processes of border-crossing are far from easy.
Thus, while being generally open-topic, the conference also aims to address the theoretical and conceptual difficulties inherent in these concepts.
Presentations should be in English and not exceed 20 minutes in length, allowing time for questions and comments from the audience.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 31 July
Please send abstracts (of no more than 250 Words) to the addresses below:

Oneiric (film theory)
In film theory, the term oneiric (/oʊˈnaɪrɪk/; "pertaining to dreams") refers the depiction of dream-like states or to the use of the metaphor of a dream or the dream-state in analyzing a film. The phrase 'dream factory' "has become a household expression for the film industry".[1]
Early film theorists such as Ricciotto Canudo (1879–1923) and Jean Epstein (1897–1953) argued that films had a dreamlike quality. Raymond Bellour and Guy Rosolato made psychoanalytical analogies between films and the dream state, and claimed that films have a "latent" content that can be psychoanalyzed as if it were a dream. Lydia Marinelli states that, before the 1930s, psychoanalysts "primarily attempted to apply the interpretative schemata found in Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams to films." More recently, Robert Eberwein has "cull[ed] dream scenes from the entirety of cinematic history" in an attempt to establish "the validity of psychoanalytic terminology in the form of a taxonomy."
Films and dreams are also connected in psychological analysis by examining the relationship between the cinema screening process and the spectator (who is perceived as passive). Roland Barthes, a French literary critic and semiotician, described film spectators as being in a "para-oneiric" state, feeling "sleepy and drowsy as if they had just woken up" when a film ends. Similarly, the French surrealist André Breton argues that film viewers enter a state between being "awake and falling asleep", what French filmmaker René Clair called a "dreamlike state". Edgar Morin's Le cinéma ou l'homme imaginaire (1956) and Jean Mitry's first volume of Esthétique et psychologie du cinéma (1963) also discuss the connection between films and the dream state.
Filmmakers described as using oneiric or dreamlike elements in their films include Sergei Parajanov (e.g., Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors), David Lynch (e.g., Twin Peaks), Andrei Tarkovsky[2] (e.g. Andrei Rublev (film) and Solaris (1972 film)), Stan Brakhage (e.g., Dog Star Man), Michelangelo Antonioni (e.g. The Passenger (1975 film)), Jaromil Jires (e.g., Valerie and Her Week of Wonders), Krzysztof Kieslowski (e.g., The Doukble Life of Véronique) [3] Federico Fellini (e.g., Amarcord), Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren,[4] Christopher Nolan (Inception), Hayao Miyazaki (e.g., Spirited Away), and Wojciech Has[5]

WIPO IGC 23 Advances on Text on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources
11 February 2013: Convened from 4-8 February 2013, in Geneva, Switzerland, the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) further streamlined the draft text of an international legal instrument on intellectual property and genetic resources, which will be submitted to the WIPO General Assembly, to be held from 23 September - 2 October 2013. However, several brackets remain indicating delegates' divergent opinions on key issues under negotiation.
The approximately ten-page streamlined text covers issues including: definition of main terms; policy objectives; subject matter of protection; beneficiaries; the scope of the instrument; sanctions and remedies; and international cooperation. The text bears a large number of brackets, indicating divergent opinions on issues such as mandatory disclosure of origin versus defensive protection, derivatives of genetic resources, the scope of the instrument, and the relationship with other international agreements, particularly the Nagoya Protocol on access and benefit-sharing (ABS) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGR).
Four new documents were submitted shortly before or during the session: an information document from Norway on the disclosure requirement in Norwegian law; a joint recommendation on genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, submitted by Canada, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea and the US; a proposal for a terms of reference for a study by the WIPO Secretariat on measures related to the avoidance of the erroneous grant of patents and compliance within existing ABS systems, submitted by Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US; and a joint recommendation on the use of databases for the defensive protection of genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, submitted by Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US.
The session began with an indigenous panel, which heard from UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples James Anaya, who called for strengthened participation of indigenous peoples in the process and a focus on the protection of their traditional knowledge. In the session, WIPO raised alarm on the almost thorough depletion of the Voluntary Fund allowing for indigenous peoples' participation. Anaya also provided a historical background outlining how conventional concepts of state sovereignty and property rights were detrimental to indigenous peoples, and how recent developments in decision-making at the international level have led to new understandings of these concepts, with special relevance for the rights of indigenous peoples to genetic resources and traditional knowledge.
In accordance with its mandate, the IGC conducts text-based negotiations with the objective of reaching agreement on a text(s) of an international legal instrument(s) that will ensure the effective protection of genetic resources, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions. The WIPO General Assembly will take stock of progress made and decide on convening a Diplomatic Conference. According to the 2013 work programme, the next IGC session, scheduled 22-26 April 2013, will focus on traditional knowledge, while IGC 25, to be held from 15-24 July 2013, will address traditional cultural expressions. In addition, the final session will further review and take stock of all the text(s) of the international legal instrument(s), and make a recommendation to the WIPO General Assembly.

To the Editor:
Here in Garwood, while elected officials of both parties have been able to work together on the council, the local Republican members have become a dysfunctional family. In the past two years while they have held a majority of elected positions, due to their inner turmoil, the Republicans have supported a recall of one of their fellow Republicans, removed Republican majorities from committees while asking Democratic council members to complete the tasks, and reduced borough employee morale to the point where the borough clerk has filed a law suit against one of their fellow Republicans and the borough.
From a policy decision making perspective, they have unnecessarily delayed the adoption of the Police Department contracts, alienated and angered residents at The Pointe by not responding to questions in a timely manner until an OPRA request was filed, and by creating a situation where its residents were forced to file a lawsuit (expensive for both the borough and the residents of The Pointe), never brought a committee recommendation on the opportunity for the borough to participate in Recycle Bank, a program to reward the resident for recycling, failed to distribute a community newsletter to keep the residents informed, and failed to advance, in a timely manner, the NJ Transit Village study into additional train stops or prompting borough officials to seek downtown improvements
Ann Palmer and Bill Nierstedt are seeking your support because, as they go door to door, they have heard the public perception of Garwood and believe they could truly provide solutions to better the lives of Garwood's residents as their past accomplishments clearly demonstrate. Our residents and people from outside our town look at how Shop Rite and The Pointe project have led to the NJ Planning Officials granting Garwood an award for creating a livable community, and then watch incredulously as some of Garwood's elected officials bicker among themselves. The Republican leadership has damaged the image of our small town with a big heart. Ann and Bill have the experience and knowledge to re-instill our pride in Garwood to be the place in which we are all proud to live, and why out-of-towners are choosing to come to Garwood.
Ann Palmer and Bill Nierstedt will provide stability, experience, and professionalism in Garwood's government. As long-time residents of Garwood, they bring numerous years of leadership and community experience to the borough, having served on several committees, commissions and boards in the town. Their accomplished past has prepared them to lead the borough responsibly into the future.
It is time for you, our friends and neighbors, to bring the Democratic Party to a majority on the council. We ask that you support us, Ann Palmer and Bill Nierstedt, to council positions so that we can guide our borough with civility, professionalism and responsibility, leading our borough forward with pride.

ESSEX COUNTY — A group of Irvington residents vehemently opposed a proposed facility that would dispose of medical waste, and they spoke their minds.
And they won — for now. For more than two months, a group protested plans of Medco Environmental for a site in an industrial stretch of Grove Street. Medco would dispose of medical waste from hospitals and clinics as well as items such as needles from piercing shops and tattoo parlors.
Despite promises of tax revenues and jobs, residents feared any possibility the operation proposed for near Irvington Park could create environmental and health hazards for residents. Kathleen Witcher, president of the NAACP Irvington chapter and a township resident who led the opposition group, said she felt "relieved" when the Essex County freeholders essentially killed the project on Wednesday.
In a rare division, six of nine board members opposed a resolution to amend the county's sold waste management plan to allow Medco's services. The three who supported the project were Freeholders D. Bilal Beasley, also a councilman in Irvington, Patricia Sebold and Rolando Bobadilla.
The project would have required final approval from the state Department of Environmental Protection, which reviews proposals only after a county amends its plan.
"I'm glad people came out to fight," Witcher said after the vote.
Experts and representatives from Medco attended three public hearings and a special meeting at township hall to answer the onslaught of questions from residents, trying to lessen their anxieties about the autoclave system. About a quarter of the speakers at the freeholder hearing on Medco supported the plan, citing the 50 jobs and $50,000 in annual tax revenues that township officials said it would create.
The autoclave system, widely used in hospitals, sterilizes medical waste using steam at 275 degrees, then shreds it into quarter-inch pieces and sends it to landfills.
Hospitals such as Saint Barnabas in Livingston or Clara Maass in Belleville dispose of their medical waste in-house. But smaller establishments send waste out for disposal. Items for disposal, ranging from discarded specimens to vaccine vials, are now sent to Stericycle in Bloomfield, which processes 50 tons of medical waste daily. Medco's facility would have been much smaller, handling eight tons a day.
Despite repeated assurances no pollutants are emitted and safeguards are in place, many Irvington residents are still worried about freak accidents. Medco's consultant, Ira Salkin, an expert in medical waste, told the freeholders there has been no incident involving an autoclave that endangered the public.
Medco's attorney, Sheldon Bross, said the freeholder decision "was a significant setback." The reaction of several Irvington residents who filled the meeting to standing-room-only capacity, he said, represented "emotions (that) were contrary to science."
Bross said Thursday no decision had been made on whether Medco would reapply. Officials say Medco would have to restart an application process to be reconsidered.
The Essex County Utilities Authority oversees the county's solid waste disposal and recycling programs. The failed proposal does not cause any loss of revenue, said authority spokesman Tom Barrett.

How Long Does Detox from Oxycodone Take?
If you are going through a detox from Oxycodone, you probably want to know when the suffering will end!!!
Not to fear. Withdrawal symptoms are not fun, but they do not last much more than about a weeks time. But some of those symptoms you will experience may persist for a bit longer, up to several weeks after your initial detox period. Here is some additional information about detox from Oxycodone
Acute Oxycodone Withdrawal
Acute withdrawal from Oxycodone in the detox period often starts within hours of your last dose of Oxycodone. What makes these certain symptoms "acute" is that they are brief in nature, but are very serious in their intensity. And although these withdrawal symptoms of Oxycodone withdrawal and detox can scare you, they are expected and normal. Doctors and the healthcare team that manage Oxycodone detox and the associated withdrawal symptoms know what exactly is common, and what exactly is not. You should detox from Oxycodone in a medically supervised detox center or rehab to ensure your safety. As the mind adjusts to life without Oxycodone, it can take from 4-10 days for one's system to balance itself out and to start feeling back to normal again.
Usually, opioids should not be instantly stopped if a person who is addicted just up and decides to quit. During Oxycodone detox, a qualified healthcare professional will help an addict gradually wean off of the drug OR use a medication such as Suboxone to decrease the pain and discomfort of withdrawal. Then, you usually experience withdrawal symptoms in a more gradual nature, and the Oxycodone will leave the system without too much pain.
As no individual treatment is effective for everyone who wants to stop using Oxycodone, different therapies are required during detox. It may also be that the order and severity in which withdrawal symptoms appear will also vary from person to person.
However, you should know that the main symptoms of withdrawal during detox from Oxycodone include:
hot and cold flushes
muscle cramps
So the bottom line is that detox from Oxycodone will take you about a week and that some symptoms may last awhile longer – depending on the individual as well as the severity of the addiction. You should also know that you CAN get through it and there are many people who want to help. If you are ready to stop using Oxycodone and get into a detox and rehab program, pick up the phone and call someone now.

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) may be announcing an organizational restructuring as early as Thursday, and All Things D's Kara Swisher is hearing that Ford (NYSE: F ) CEO Alan Mulally may have helped steer Microsoft's Steve Ballmer through the process.
Don't worry, Ford fans. Mulally isn't trading in hard wears for software. Insiders are merely telling Swisher that Microsoft's CEO consulted with Mulally -- who has experience at turning big companies around -- for ideas on how to restructure the meandering software titan.
It wouldn't be a shock to see Microsoft's organizational chart go under the knife. Things haven't exactly gone the tech bellwether's way lately.
- Last year's rollout of Windows 8 was supposed to breathe new life into the PC market. It didn't.
- The introduction of Windows RT and the Surface RT tablet were supposed to give the software giant some serious skin in the growing realm of cheap computing devices. It didn't.
- Windows Phone 8 hit the market late last year, and despite Microsoft's proactive approach of paying app developers and at least one major handset manufacturer to champion the mobile operating system, it hasn't made a dent in the iOS and Android stronghold.
Then we had the poorly received introduction -- in the eyes of gamers -- of the Xbox One gaming console during last month's E3 conference. It may not be a coincidence that the Xbox president left the company last week, possibly ahead of Thursday's game of music chairs that will likely leave some executives either demoted or left out.
Why Mulally? Well, as Swisher explains, Ballmer's a big admirer of Mulally, even penning the entry on Ford's turnaround guru in the Time 100 list four years ago. Ballmer also was born in Detroit, where his father was a Ford manager.
Ford and Microsoft have also teamed up for dashboard technology in the past. The two companies rolled out the now-popular SYNC digital entertainment system in Ford cars six years ago. Ford went on to lean on more popular mobile platforms a few years later, but Ford is no stranger to tech. Mulally has been a fixture in the past as a presenter at the annual Consumer Electronics Show and other tech events.
Mulally has been instrumental in turning both Ford and Boeing around, so he knows all about approaching stodgy companies that need fresh perspectives to reverse their meandering ways.
Microsoft may not seem broken. It's still growing, and the shares hit a fresh multiyear high last month. However, it's hard to find too many people that are excited about Microsoft's long-term prospects. Too many trends are working against the company's core competencies of the past. Naturally the software giant will need to address its failures in mobile -- and soon -- but it may take a corporate shakeup later this week to give it a chance to at least be facing in the right direction ahead of what promises to be a very difficult transition.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies like Microsoft.

Now that's what I'm talking about
You want to talk excited? Well, talk this: the first wave of the tomato growing season is about to hit the beach; these beauties washed up on my dinner plate on 8.8.08.
To hell with the Olympics, this is the big news of the day. The yellow tomato is from Trent's farm (HF&D) the red tomato and basil are from my garden. Life is good.

Getting a ripe tomato from the garden is as hard a delivering a baby- especially if you have squirrels, so enjoy!

I leave the skins on. The blender renders them invisible!

Yum, I just harvested my first yellow tomato. I've had beans for almost two weeks, the haricots verts, and have harvested at least 4 gallons of them. So far we just eat them, but soon I have to put them up for winter: dilly beans and plain old canned beans.
I just love growing my own food!

her partner observed a suspicious person walking
on the 1300 block of Poquito Street. Officer Donovan got out of the car to talk to the man and
he began running. Officer Donovan began to chase
the suspect and her partner put the patrol car in
reverse and tried to block the man's escape route.
During the chase, the patrol car struck Officer

was taken to Brackenridge Hospital where she died
of her injuries at approximately 0200 hours.

The clip final match Part 2 3 from Friday Night Lights (2004) with Billy Bob Thornton, Lee Jackson Wait.! He's gonna bring it out.! No.! What are you doing? Howser makes the tackle on the three-yard line. And now Chavez is very slow to get up as he was just blasted to the turf. Mike I want you to be patient in there, all right? Keep your cool. Yes, sir. Be a leader. Okay? Yes, sir. The run's two-seven-seven dolphin. Let's go! Saturday is finally here. The Texas Bowl is underway.! Winchell now first and ten for Permian inside their five-yard line. Winchell, under center will back up. Here comes Stuber.! Dad gum it! Dad gum it! Andjust like that, Stuber has given Carter a 2-nothing lead. Which game are we in? And Whitaker will find Grande and pass as Chavez is leveled. And Grande will take this one to the half from more than 50 yards away in play. There's not a Panther within ten yards ofhim. That's a Carter Cowboy touchdown. Carter will go for two. They will not kick. No surprise. This team has not kicked an extra point or a field goal all year. Whitaker now will make his play. Going left will get the two-point conversion. Cowboys, ten. Permian, nothing. What's it like out there, Ivory? They're big. They're fast. Fun ride, huh, big boy? They're dirty. Ball's gone. Ball's gone! He's holding me, Ref! Plus, they fast. Yeah, you said that already. Hut! Do not fumble against a team... Two runs to deep turn! Keep your heads together! Help me out! 45-2 split! It's gonna be Whitaker to Cane from 26 yards away. He levels Chavez.! Oh, and another Carter Cowboy touchdown. **[Marching Band]
