Taser guns' impact on cognition and reasoning has been found to potentially interfere with police questioning.
A comprehensive study from the US discovered participants showed short-term decline in brain functioning equivalent to dementia after being shocked by the stun guns.
Lead author of the study, which is the first of its kind, Robert J Kane argued the findings challenge the long accepted legitimacy of police interrogation directly following Taser shocks.
"The findings of this study have considerable implications for how the police administer Miranda [the right to remain silent] warnings.
"If suspects are cognitively impaired after being Tased, when should police begin asking them questions? There are plenty of people in prison who were Tased and then immediately questioned."
The report carried out by Arizona State University and Drexel University in Philadelphia found that Taser stuns significantly compromised a person's mental state, with participants reporting problems concentrating.
On top of this, partakers experienced higher levels of anxiety and lower than average scores on memory and verbal tests.
"Being shocked had a traumatic effect on some participants. Some were emotionally debilitated by the experience.
"The findings from this study suggest that people who have been shocked with a Taser may be unable to understand and rationally act upon his or her legal rights, and may be more likely to waive their Miranda rights directly after Taser exposure," explained Kane.

1/20 'Tiny vampires' existed millions of years ago
Scientists have discovered that microscopic 'vampire' amoebae existed hundreds of millions of years ago, and they may have been some of the first predators on Earth. By examining ancient fossils with an electron microscope, paleobiologist Susannah Porter from UC Santa Barbara discovered tiny holes which may have been drilled by vampiric microbes. The tiny creatures are believed to be the ancestors of modern Vampyrellidae amoebae, and punctured holes in their prey before sucking out the contents of their cells

2/20 Kepler 62f
An Earth-like planet orbiting a star 1,200 light years away could have conditions suitable for life, say scientists. Kepler 62f is about 40 per cent larger than the Earth and may possess surface oceans. It is the outermost of five planets circling a star that is smaller and cooler than the sun discovered by the American space agency Nasa's Kepler space telescope in 2013
3/20 Vegetables grow well in soil from Mars
Scientists have taken a leaf out of the script of The Martian by showing how easy it would be to grow your own veg on the Red Planet. In the hit Ridley Scott film, a stranded astronaut played by Matt Damon uses his botanical skills to cultivate potatoes. Now his success has been emulated by researchers in the Netherlands who harvested tomatoes, peas, rye, rocket, radish and cress raised on simulated Martian soil supplied by Nasa
4/20 Ancient Roman 'leisure complex' unearthed in Jerusalem
An ancient Roman estate complete with its own wine press and bathhouse has been unearthed in Jerusalem. A series of buildings dating back at least 1,600 years were discovered underneath the city's famous Schneller Orphanage which operated on the site from 1860 until the end of the Second World War, when it was turned into an army base. The ruins were discovered by archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority who were excavating the site ahead of building new flats for the city's Orthodox Jewish community
5/20 Scientists discover possible new species of deep-sea octopus nicknamed 'Casper'
Scientists believe they may have found a new species of octopus likened in appearance to Casper, the friendly cartoon ghost. Researchers with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration made the discovery by chance as they searched the seabed on an unrelated mission collecting geological samples. Teams were operating an unmanned submarine on the Pacific Ocean floor at depths of more than four kilometres (two-and-a-half miles) in the Hawaiian Islands when they spotted the unusual creature
6/20 Black hole captured eating a star then vomiting it back out
Astronomers have captured a black hole eating a star and then sicking a bit of it back up for the first time ever. The scientists tracked a star about as big as our sun as it was pulled from its normal path and into that of a supermassive black hole before being eaten up. They then saw a high-speed flare get thrust out, escaping from the rim of the black hole. Scientists have seen black holes killing and swallowing stars. And the jets have been seen before.But a new study shows the first time that they have captured the hot flare that comes out just afterwards. And the flare and then swallowed star have not been linked together before
7/20 'Male and female brains' aren't real
Brains cannot be categorised into female and male, according to the first study to look at sex differences in the whole brain. Specific parts of the brain do show sex differences, but individual brains rarely have all "male" traits or all "female" traits. Some characteristics are more common in women, while some are more common in men, and some are common in both men and women, according to the study
8/20 Dog-sized horned dinosaur fossil found shows east-west evolutionary divide in North America
A British scientist has uncovered the fossil of a dog-sized horned dinosaur that roamed eastern North America up to 100 million years ago. The fragment of jaw bone provides evidence of an east-west divide in the evolution of dinosaurs on the North American continent. During the Late Cretaceous period, 66 to 100 million years ago, the land mass was split into two continents by a shallow sea. This sea, the Western Interior Seaway, ran from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. Dinosaurs living in the western continent, called Laramidia, were similar to those found in Asia
9/20 Asteroid to skim past Earth on Halloween 2015
A huge asteroid is set to skim by Earth on Halloween, just three weeks after it was first spotted. The rock is travelling through space at 78,000 miles per hour, and will fly past the Earth at a distance of only 300,000 miles – only slightly further away than our moon, and easily close enough for Nasa to class it a potentially hazardous object. The asteroid is bigger than a skyscraper
10/20 Life on Earth appeared hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought
Life may have come to earth 4.1 billion years ago, hundreds of millions of years earlier than we knew. The discovery, made using graphite that was trapped in ancient crystals, could mean that life began "almost instantaneously" after the Earth was formed. The researchers behind it have described the discovery as "a potentially transformational scientific advance". Previously, life on Earth was understood to have begun when the inner solar system was hit by a massive bombardment from space, which also formed the moon's craters
11/20 Earth could be at risk of meteor impacts
Earth could be in danger as our galaxy throws out comets that could hurtle towards us and wipe us out, scientists have warned. Scientists have previously presumed that we are in a relatively safe period for meteor impacts, which are linked with the journey of our sun and its planets, including Earth, through the Milky Way. But some orbits might be more upset than we know, and there is evidence of recent activity, which could mean that we are passing through another meteor shower. Showers of meteors periodically pass through the area where the Earth is, as gravitational disturbances upset the Oort Cloud, which is a shell of icy objects on the edge of the solar system. They happen on a 26-million year cycle, scientists have said, which coincide with mass extinctions over the last 260-million years
12/20 Genetically-engineered, extra-muscular dogs
Chinese scientists have created genetically-engineered, extra-muscular dogs, after editing the genes of the animals for the first time. The scientists create beagles that have double the amount of muscle mass by deleting a certain gene, reports the MIT Technology Review. The mutant dogs have "more muscles and are expected to have stronger running ability, which is good for hunting, police (military) applications", Liangxue Lai, one of the researchers on the project. Now the team hope to go on to create other modified dogs, including those that are engineered to have human diseases like muscular dystrophy or Parkinson's. Since dogs' anatomy is similar to those of humans', intentionally creating dogs with certain human genetic traits could allow scientists to further understand how they occur
13/20 Nasa confirms Mars water discovery
Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae — or dark patches — on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts.

17/20 Scientists find exactly what human corpses smell like
New research has become the first to isolate the particular scent of human death, describing the various chemicals that are emitted by corpses in an attempt to help find them in the future. The researchers hope that the findings are the first step towards working on a synthetic smell that could train cadaver dogs to be able to more accurately find human bodies, or to eventually developing electronic devices that can look for the scent themselves.

Researchers in the Middle East have asked for seeds including those of wheat, barley and grasses, all of which are chosen because especially resistant to dry conditions. It is the first withdrawal from the bank, which was built in 2008. Those researchers would normally request the seeds from a bank in Aleppo. But that centre has been damaged by the war — while some of its functions continue, and its cold storage still works, it has been unable to provide the seeds that are needed by the rest of the Middle East, as it once did.

20/20 Academics claim a full bladder makes for a better liar
People lie more convincingly if they have a full bladder, according to research by academics at California State University. Iris Blandón-Gitlin's team asked 22 students to lie to a panel of interviewers. Half were given 700ml to drink before the interview and the other half, just 50ml. The students with the full bladders showed fewer signs that they were lying and their untrue answers were longer and more detailed, meaning interviewers were less able to detect that they were telling porkies. PM David Cameron has previously attested to giving speeches on a full bladder.
Miranda rights are defined as the right to remain silent while being questioned by police.
In the US, over two million citizens have been Tasered by police. The guns have become the favoured less-lethal weapon to be used by state police departments.
The stun guns which impose a 50,000-volt shock are used in 17,000 police departments in America and have been known to cause death.
In February 2015, Calvon Reid died after two officers struck him in the chest and released 50,000-volt shocks to his body. Within seconds the 39-year-old stopped breathing and died two days later in hospital.

Uighur Group Disputes China's Assertion of Terror Attack
Instead, Exiled Association Says Dozens Killed for Protesting Police Treatment
BEIJING—An overseas group advocating on behalf of China's mostly Muslim Uighur ethnic minority cast doubt Wednesday on the Chinese government's assertion that a recent outburst of deadly violence in the far-western Xinjiang region was the result of a terrorist attack.
On the same day, prosecutors in the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi announced that dissident Uighur economist Ilham Tohti, taken from his Beijing home by police in January, was formally charged with taking part in separatist activities.
Dozens were killed Monday morning when knife- and ax-wielding assailants attacked government buildings, police stations and passing cars in and around the township of Elixhu, on the outskirts of the city of Yarkand, in western Xinjiang, according to state media reports.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency described the incident as "an organized, premeditated and carefully planned terrorist attack," and said numerous Han Chinese and Uighur civilians were killed. "Police, reacting quickly and in accordance with the law, shot and killed dozens of the thugs," it added, without identifying who the attackers were.
The Uyghur American Association, an exile group, disputed that characterization in a statement Wednesday. Citing unidentified local people, it said more than 20 Uighurs were killed and more than 70 were arrested following protests Monday over heavy-handed police treatment during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
"That state media could label the killing of dozens of people as in line with the law reflects the poor regard the state has for its own laws and judicial process," the association's president, Alim Seytoff, said in the statement.
The association said several Uighurs had fled to Elixhu from a nearby township earlier this month following protests over the alleged police killing of a Uighur family, and it called for an investigation into Monday's deaths.
Reached by phone Wednesday, police in Elixhu and Yarkand declined to comment on the association's statement or offer further information about the clash. Internet access has been cut off in Yarkand since late Monday, a police officer reached in Elixhu earlier told The Wall Street Journal.
Xinjiang, which abuts Central Asia and contains oil and natural-gas reserves, has long been riven by ethnic tensions between Mandarin-speaking Han Chinese migrants and the Turkic-speaking Uighurs. Uighurs often complain of religious and economic discrimination at the hands of the Han Chinese.
While China says it has raised Uighurs' living standards and educational levels, their frustration with Chinese rule has fed a decadeslong separatist movement.
Uighur separatists have for years been known to launch periodic violent assaults on government and police targets inside Xinjiang, but recently they have also shown a willingness to attack civilians both in and outside the region.
China's government has responded by launching an antiterror campaign and tightening security measures. An already-heavy armed police presence has been stepped up inside Xinjiang. Earlier this month, authorities confiscated matchboxes from stores and hotels in multiple townships, including Yarkand, to "eliminate potential security threats."
Mr. Tohti, an economist who used to teach at Minzu University of China in Beijing, was detained roughly three months after an attack blamed on separatists killed five tourists in central Beijing. The moderate advocate for Uighur rights hasn't openly called for independence for Xinjiang, though he has been critical of China's policies on ethnic minorities.
In a message posted to its official social media account Wednesday evening, the Xinjiang prosecutor's office said Mr. Tohti's charges had been filed with the Intermediate People's Court in Urumqi. The message was posted with a hashtag reading "Strike Hard Against Terror."
The scholar hasn't been reachable. His wife has repeatedly dismissed police allegations against him as baseless.
Monday's attack came a day before Eid al-Fitr, the festival that marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The streets of Yarkand are typically filled with people during the festival, an employee of the city's Pengcheng Hotel said Tuesday. "It's crazy, there's no one on the streets now," the employee said.
An essay posted Wednesday to the Xinjiang government's official news portal reminded local police and prosecutors to be mindful of the "long-term nature, complexity and intensity of the fight against separatism and terrorism."
While condemning terrorism, Uighur exile groups have warned that the government crackdown would likely exacerbate tensions.
"China's newly launched one-year antiterror campaign promises only more bloodshed, as the fundamental causes of Uyghur grievances remain unaddressed," the UAA's Mr. Seytoff said.

According to a Mahan, he could've taken more money elsewhere, but signed with the Steelers because of the opportunity to start at center in an organization with a tradition of success at the position.
Mahan also enjoys a comfort level with Mike Tomlin, who was a member of the Tampa Bay coaching staff during the first three seasons of Mahan's career. He also noted that he's excited to join an organization with the "tradition, success and history of stablity" that the Steelers have enjoyed.
Mahan hopes to replace the retired Jeff Hartings as the Steelers' starting center, a position that's been held on a full-time basis by only four players since 1964.
Mahan's competition will come from Kendall Simmons, who's been a disappointment at right guard for the Steelers. Simmons enters the final year of his contract and the team would like to find out if he's better suited for center.
Chukky Okobi will likely be released, due to his $2 million salary and lack of versatility.
The Steelers plan to look at both Mahan and Simmons at center during the April 20-22 minicamp preceding the draft.
Mahan, who'll turn 27 on May 28, is a 6-foot-3, 301-pounder who's considered a technician with the quickness and agility the Steelers seek at the position.
A fifth-round pick by Tampa Bay out of Notre Dame in 2003, Mahan renewed acquaintances Friday with Steelers coach Tomlin, who was part of the Tampa Bay coaching staff during Mahan's first three seasons in the league.
"He's a great coach. I admire him. I have a lot of respect for him," Mahan said. "I'd be here even if he wasn't here, but it's nice knowing he's here."
Mahan is a native of Jenks, Oklahoma, and was a two-year starter at Notre Dame. He was Notre Dame's most outstanding lineman in 2002.
The Steelers also met Friday with free-agent outside linebacker Colby Bockwoldt, who had hoped to join former BYU teammates Brett Keisel, Chris Hoke and Shaun Nua with the Steelers, but left Friday without reaching an agreement.
Bockwoldt is a 6-1, 237-pounder who'd add depth to the Steelers thin linebacking corps and play on special teams.
New Orleans drafted Bockwoldt out of BYU in 2004 and he started the final seven games of his rookie season at outside linebacker. He started all 16 games for the Saints in 2005 and led the team in tackles, but was cut at the end of the 2006 training camp.
"Anytime a coaching staff leaves the entire coaching staff left you don't have anybody left to fight for you," he said. "That's kind of how the business goes."
Tennessee picked up Bockwoldt off the waiver wire and he played in all 16 games last season, making one start, but the Titans didn't make him a qualifying offer to become a restricted free agent this month.
The 26-year-old has 114 career tackles with two sacks and three fumble recoveries. He said the Titans and 49ers have made him offers.

forget Visual Basic, it is not the best tool to use.
get yourself a good book about c++ programming and read.
Get a compiler (visual c++ for example) and try some code.
In a few months, you will start with directx or opengl !!
For now, just read ....

We''ve had thousands of discussions about C++ vs. VB, and it just comes down that VB is just as fast (maybe faster to design, slower in FPS) and that it''s _very_ easy to write slow code in VB. I''m author of VB Fibre, a site dedicated to see how you can speed up your VB code, and by how much %. For example x * x is _way_ faster than x ^ 2. (about 10 times). Anyway, the site is currently down because DigitalRice stopped supporting ASP.
VB is a good language, and performs well for games (Let''s face it: All your matrix rotations are done by using a DirectX dll, so it will be as fast in C++, as in VB)
Try: http://www.vbexplorer.com/directx4vb and http://www.rookscape.com/vbgaming These two sites are the best around. The latter also includes a link section with links that will give you even more information.
Also check the games sections... there are new games under development that will even make C++ developers blink their eyes twice.

i belive ya, the c language is ok with me, i still want to learn, but i have coded with it before long enough to say vb makes it alot easier, and with directx helping out it makes it competitive with the c coders! Beware!

"It''s easy to write slow code in VB"
There are not many (VB) programmers that know the difference between ''\'' and ''/'', and often make mistakes there... Calculations aren''t that slow, and besides, the CPU speed goes up anyway.
(The first is 550% faster)

You try to design a complete C++ program with a database backend.
I said before, writing a complete game in VB will take much less time, but will be a bit slower than C++.

ajoling: The issue here is not the prime numbers - it''s the intensive calculations. Like I said, anything calculation intensive would be better written in c++ and linked in. I did not say anything about writing a huge program in c++. Please read my posts more carefully in the future...

If you have specific questions, go to the forums at VBExplorer and post them in the DirectX forum. I usually check it at least once a day.

Why would my left foot be so cold all the time?! I have no other symptoms anywhere else in my body (no pain, no rashes, no fever, etc), just a really ice cold left foot, especially my toes. It doesn't matter what socks/shoes/boots or barefoot. In bed or sitting up, walking, it doesn't matter. I'm an outdoorsman, so I know all about avoiding cotton, keeping feet dry, allowing plenty of room for circulation, etc. Any ideas?Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Last week, the Office of Management and Budget released new guidance for recipients of ARRA (Stimulus) funding. This guidance, called M-09-21, elaborates on the reporting requirements for state and local government.
The good news for government is that there are no big surprises here. The weekly report previously mentioned has disappeared from the latest guidance.
Reporting will be on a quarterly basis, and will track prime recipients, sub-recipients, and vendors who receive payments from prime or sub-recipients. The reports will be submitted to a new website called www.data.gov which is under construction. Governments may submit the reports by filling out a web form, uploading an Excel spreadsheet, or uploading an XML data file.
Each reporting period allows for validation of the data, review by the submitter and then review by federal agencies. After reviews are completed the information is transferred to www.recovery.gov where the public can access the data.
Microsoft Stimulus360 is designed to fulfill all these reporting requirements and provide additional ways to track information, aggregate and analyze, and publish information to citizens. Watch for announcements of new reports as they are released.

For a sniper's-eye view of how volatile the market for a single work of art can be, just consider the recentcourt decision requiring Christie's to pay Internet entrepreneur Halsey Minor $8.6 million after the auction house prevented him from selling four Richard Princes at the height of the art boom.
Of those four works — which Christie's held during the market's apex in 2008 as security against Minor's towering unpaid auction bills — let's examine the case of the 1989 Untitled (Cowboy), a 50-by-70-inch Ektacolor print re-photographed from a Marlboro advertising campaign. Arguably Prince's best-known work, the image of a cowboy galloping under a bright blue sky had been the catalogue cover for the artist's 1992 survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and it became the most expensive photograph ever to sell at auction when New York dealer Stellan Holm bought it at Christie's in November 2005 for $1,248,000.
In early 2006, Minor acquired the work from Larry Gagosian for $1.6 million, according to art appraiser Beverly Schreiber Jacoby, president of the strategic art-consulting company BSJ Fine Art. Minor then consigned the piece along with the other Princes to the Christie's-owned Haunch of Venison gallery in May 2008 — and when they failed to sell, the auction house held them as a check against the $12 million that the collector owed for auction purchases. In their lawsuit against the auction house for wrongfully retaining the works, Minor's lawyers hired Jacoby to assess the drop in value that the Prince artworks suffered over the few months they were kept at Haunch, from the apex of the market in mid-2008 to its nadir in January 2009, when Minor resold the four works. "I had to determine damages due to sales at the low-point of the market," Jacoby said.
Minor sold the Marlboro cowboy back to Gagosian for $1.5 million sometime between December 2008 and January 2009. While that price would suggest that the indebted collector took a $100,000 hit on the sale, Minor argued that he had lost significantly more considering how much he could have sold it for if he had access to the work during the boom's sweet spot.
To calculate what that windfall might have been, Jacoby began with a tidy figure: $4 million, the amount at which Chelsea dealer (and long-time Prince champion) Barbara Gladstone valued the work in late August of 2008, when she was trying to make an unconsummated separate deal with Minor to sell four of his Princes individually. Jacoby took Gladstone's asking price and subtracted 20 percent off the top — 10 percent for a discount to the imaginary world-class collector who would have acquired the piece, as is custom in the art trade, and another 10 percent for the dealer's commission. That calculation yielded a value of $3.2 million for the work, had it been sold at the time.
According to Jacoby, Minor's net hit was $1.7 million — the difference between the work's estimated value at the height of the market ($3.2 million) and the price for which he sold it ($1.5 million)."I had to show the jury how the market actually works in a realistic scenario," Jacoby said. "There was a whole trajectory, and it was very straightforward and very reasonable." The jury agreed with her arithmetic.
The Prince's radical fluctuations in value over such a short time also reflect a more vernacular methodology, that of a famous art-collecting maxim: if you get it while it's hot, you'd better sell when the market is raging.

CONRAD-HOTEL de Ville München - Munich
We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights the last week of September 2014, during Oktoberfest. It is a very nice hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to buy public transport tickets at the desk. We had a junior suite, so the room was larger than most, and looked out on the courtyard at the back of the hotel, so it was a quiet room. Our beds were comfortable but very firm. The breakfast (ours was included with our room) was excellent with choices including eggs (scrambled and hard boiled), bacon, sausages, cold meat and cheeses, fresh fruit, fresh yogurt (several types), preserves, breads (loaf bread, various rolls, pretzels), pastries, bottle water, tomatoes & mozzarella, juice, tea, coffee (and if you ask, cappucino). The hotel is located near the main train station, not even a 5 minute walk. There is a stairway and escalator just down the street about 300 feet north of the hotel which leads right into the underground and the train station. It makes the hotel very convenient to the station. Getting into the historical city center is very easy and is about a 15 minute walk to Marienplatz (at the town hall). Tour groups meet at Marienplatz for city tours and the Dachau tours. There are lots of eateries near the hotel, but most are small and many are take-away. There is an Italian restaurant called Pipasa just south of the hotel about 300 feet. We ate there several times - they have good pasta and pizzas, and their prices are very reasonable. They also have Monday and Wednesday specials for pizza & pasta.
CONRAD-HOTEL de Ville München - Munich
The hotel is ideally located very near the main station and within easy walking distance to the city centre (Marienplatz etc). The rooms were comfortable and spacious for the price we paid. The breakfast buffet incuded cereals, yoghurt, pastries, breads, fruit, meat and cheese plus hot sausages, bacon and eggs. Reception, waiting and cleaning staff were all friendly and helpful and spoke a good level of English, while being tolerant of our feeble attempts at German. It provided exactly what we wanted for our break and to a high standard.

Too bad no-one was watching, Calvin!
He's got the makings of a true politician.
Technically, Calvin didn't have enough forward momentum in panel 1 to be able to flip completely over. He needed to be running, in order to have sufficient kinetic energy that could be translated into potential energy in the form of height when he tripped, not to mention also translating forward momentum into rotational momentum. But, we'll let that pass….
Now what can be done for iPads? They use Safari, what ever that is. I sometimes use it when I'm away from my desktop or office computer.
Hi Santa. I don't know. Maybe someone else here can answer your question: How do you reload a Web page while bypassing the cache in Safari on an iPad?
He didn't stick the landing. Judges score: 5.6
I can't even find a way to clear the cache. I try hitting refresh over and over and over. When worse comes to worse I try to close all windows. Doesn't really do anything though.
Way to go, Calvin, Make lemonade !

A Decade In The Making
Content contributed by Randy Rodriguez, Head Baseball Coach at Miami Carol City High School.
Coach Randy Rodriguez may not be a household name in the South Florida high school baseball scene. His team, the Carol City Chiefs, is not a perennial state championship contender. The program is also not a pipeline to major Division I college programs. Their home games are not littered with scouts holding radar guns and clipboards. In fact, at Miami Carol City High School there isn't even a baseball field to host practices or home games.
In 2015, what the Carol City Chiefs baseball team did have was two returning players for the spring season: Ayeo Randolph and James Falmer. Although Ayeo, a 5'5″ 140lb outfielder, had finished the 2014 season hitless, he was committed to reinventing his swing and pursuing his dream of playing college baseball. While Ayeo's mother, an All-Conference MEAC softball player at Florida A&M University, was the first person to teach him the game, the baton was soon passed to Coach Randy to help Ayeo take his game to the next level. By the end of last spring, Ayeo's game had improved immensely and he motivated his teammates to join him in participating in the Marlins Reviving Baseball In Inner Cities (RBI) summer program and work towards building something special in Miami Gardens. They were able to field a team led by Coach Randy and while the team finished the RBI Season 0-10, they never wavered in their commitment to show up to every game, play hard, and focus on getting better every inning of every game.
James Falmer was one of those players who was motivated to continue playing over the summer. Falmer may not have had the opportunity to participate in the Marlins RBI program had it not been for Ayeo's persistence. Despite being a junior at Carol City, 2015 was James' first year playing baseball and he started the spring season on the JV Team. He would ride his bike to school, practice at an offsite baseball training facility in Miami Gardens, and then travel back home on a daily basis. James' swing quickly developed, leading to an early promotion to the Varsity Team where he would finish the season as the team's batting champion, hitting .294. In addition to the on-field success, James spent late nights at the baseball facility completing his homework where he was able to access the Internet. Despite these obstacles, James dreams of one day earning his degree in sports administration and working for a professional sports franchise.
On January 30, 2016, Ayeobele "Ayeo" Randolph and James Falmer will sign letters of intent to play baseball at Morris College, becoming the first Carol City High School baseball players to do so in 10 years. Congratulations to Ayeo, James and Coach Randy!
All-Star Smiles
I've witnessed Giancarlo Stanton do some incredible things during his time with the Miami Marlins, but his most impressive display took place a few days ago. It wasn't a 500-foot home run or a diving catch on the warning track, and it didn't make SportsCenter's top plays.
Earlier this month, Big G changed the lives of over 60 kids who had been pre-screened at Lenora B. Smith Elementary and identified as needing intense dental work. Giancarlo spent time with every single child who sat in one of the chairs at Spodak Dental from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Whether it was a little girl who was scared or a young man who was recovering from having his teeth extracted, Giancarlo was there with almost a superhero-like presence to make them feel better.
At the end of the day, $50,000 worth of dental care was provided to children who, in some cases, had never seen the inside of a dentist's office. It was most unbelievable to hear some kids say it was the best day ever; a trip to the dentist was the best day in some of these kids' lives.
Thank you, Giancarlo, for having Marlins Ayudan join you in making a difference this offseason.
A Smile That's Worth The Wait
As winter begins to melt into spring — or at least that's what I hear from people outside of Miami — I find myself anxiously waiting for the start of Spring Training and this year's baseball season.
Waiting… it's something nobody really likes to do. Whether it's in line at the grocery store or in traffic on the way home, nobody likes to wait.
Well, yesterday I met someone who is waiting. They are waiting for something far more important than what you or I wait for.
Three year old Asbel is waiting for a new heart.
Yesterday, Billy The Marlin and I walked through the hospital doors and made our way to a room filled with family and friends surrounding this little boy from Panama. He could not have appeared to be happier, wearing his Marlins hat and a smile that could brighten any hospital room.
He sat up and began to go through the gifts that Billy had brought him. He shook his bobble heads, threw his new Marlins baseball, put on his "Super Billy" cape, and upon finding a canvas painting of Marlins Park, he let everyone know, "I want to go there!"
After a few pictures with Billy, countless high fives, and a "gracias and thank you" from this polite little boy, we left the hospital keeping Asbel in our thoughts.
So, the next time you find yourself growing frustrated as you wait, try to be like Asbel and do it with a smile. Remember, there are people out there smiling while waiting for far more important things that there is no guarantee will ever arrive.
We're all pulling for you, Asbel, and hope that your wait is almost over.
Still A PERFECT Night… Witnessing Something Special
It's Saturday night at Marlins Park… if you were in your seats at the start of the 6th inning, you were already getting the sense that you may see something really special happen. Something you don't talk about or even hint at: a perfect game. Crack! A clean base hit breaks up Henderson's bid for perfection and many in the stands felt like they were almost witness to something special.
My take on Saturday was viewed through a different lens. You see, before Henderson threw the first pitch of the game, I had already witnessed something special. It was the Marlins Foundation Charity Partner Day and representing Special Olympics of Florida was Sabrina Meador, a young girl with Down syndrome. Sabrina was at Marlins Park for more than just a ceremony though; she was escorted to wait in the Marlins home dugout while her favorite player, Jose Fernandez, was about to surprise her with a bouquet of flowers. Jose turns the corner at the top steps from the clubhouse and Sabrina shouts, "JOSE!!!" darting over and embracing him with a great big hug, both smiling from ear to ear.
This was not Sabrina's first interaction with Jose… on National Down Syndrome Awareness Day, to create awareness and support, we are all asked to wear "funky socks" and show them off. The Marlins had a Spring Training game that day and the guys were ALL IN and excited to sport their polka dot Marlins socks during the game. Jose would go one step further and sent a young girl named Sabrina an autographed cap. She took to social media and her response was priceless (see below).
We're back in the dugout of Marlins Park and Jose is showing Sabrina around when he informed her that she will be throwing out the first pitch and that he's going to be the one to catch it. She is beyond excited and nervous at the same time, so Jose suggests that they warm up with a game of catch.
The moment had finally come and I don't even remember if she threw a strike or not, all I can remember is the look on her face as Jose walked out to the mound to congratulate her in front of the Saturday night crowd at Marlins Park… So while Henderson threw a two-hit shutout gem on his birthday (the game was the day after his birthday), all I could talk about for the rest of the night and the next day at Easter dinner was little Sabrina and the night that she will never forget.
Something really special happened at Marlins Park last Saturday.
Firehouse No. 5 … Thank You
12 years ago… A day that none of us will ever forget. Those aren't just words, but a truth from one of the most horrific days in our nation's history. I was just a student at Miami Senior High sitting in my US History class, when the attack occurred. For some people the shock and horror hit them immediately, but for me it did not register emotionally until days later watching the aftermath that there were people in those buildings and that families and this country would forever be changed.
12 years later… those other high school students who were sitting in classrooms around the country just like I was, have now grown up and followed in the footsteps of the countless first responders, police officers & fire fighters who lost their lives on that date in history. While I am fortunate to work for a professional sports franchise that values service and social responsibility, it pales in comparison to the impact that these brave men and women have every day of their lives. I am not alone in these sentiments and when Logan Morrison approached us with the idea of spending the day at a Miami Firehouse it was something I couldn't be more proud to share with the City of Miami Fire Department.
Firehouse No. 5, is located just a few blocks from Marlins Park and Morrison being the only Marlin to ever wear number five, made it the perfect match. Logan visited earlier today, touring the firehouse and even throwing on the full 50 pound gear in case there was an emergency call. Thankfully no calls came in during Logan's visit, but he did have the opportunity to share lunch with the crew and show his gratitude and listen to stories of their experiences. At times it was almost like a scene from the show "Rescue Me;" bonding in the firehouse kitchen with the crew and seeing everyone working together like a family, even when preparing lunch with 14 hands in the kitchen.
While Logan probably could have spent the whole day there, we had to eventually head back to the ballpark in preparation for tonight's game. However, before we left Logan presented the house with an autographed jersey with the inscription "To the true heroes…" and presented each firefighter with a Marlins Ayudan Challenge Coin. Then they thanked us for visiting, which on a day like today, caught me off guard and all I could do was respond with, "No… Thank you."

Can your meditative practice use a boost? Burning incense for meditation can help increase the benefits of mediation by helping you stay focused and relaxed.
Here is a description of how the most popular types of incense – frankincense, sandalwood, and sage – cleanse negative energy, ease tension, and elevate your meditative state.
"My favorite incense flavors are the more traditional scents: Frankincense, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber, Cedar, and Sage," says Daniel Wyker, President of Between Heaven & Earth Mfg, Makers of Ascent and Ganesha's Garden Incense. "I also love the many temple masala blends from India, especially some of the durbars and champas. In fact my most favorite incense of all time is a champa incense that my sister bought for me at a small temple in India 12 years ago. I have been searching for it ever since, and it has inspired my quest to produce scents that move people."
Here, Dan and other "incense experts" reveal their favorite flavors of incense to burn, plus the specific effects of different types of incense.
The Benefits of Burning Incense for Meditation
Incense for meditation and prayer is an ancient tradition. "Incense sticks are a traditional part of our religious rituals," says freelance writer Vidya Sury, creator of Going A-Musing. "In my home, we burn incense sticks (or joss sticks) of different fragrances. Our favorite flavors of incense are frankincense, sandalwood, roses, lavender, Michelia Champaka and jasmine. In fact, we make pot pourri from champaka petals."
Frankincense for centering and purifying. "We use pieces of frankincense on hot coals," says Vidya. "We cover the burning frankincense with a large bamboo basket and spread babies' clothes on the basket to dry, so the smoke permeates the clothes. After a bath, there's frankincense in the room to soothe the baby with its gentle wisps of smoke. We dry our long freshly washed hair, holding it over the smoke of frankincense."
Frankincense for sanctification and cleansing. "Sometimes, if the atmosphere of the house feels 'heavy,'" says deTraci Regula, author of The Mysteries of Isis: Her Worship & Magick. "I will use a purifying incense – usually Frankincense and/or Myrrh, both of which have ancient origins and are believed to purify and sanctify a space. The Fred Soll company has a pure resin stick incense which combines them both, and that's my preference."
Incense for meditation and centering prayer. "Frankincense is the original incense; in fact that's where the word incense comes from. The effects of burning Frankincense are uplifting, centering and purifying with a warm sweet aroma. It's one of the best scents for creating a meditative space."
Both Frankincense and Myrrh are types of incense that have been burned throughout the ages.
Sandalwood for grounding and relaxing. "Sandalwood has been used in incense for at least 4000 years for good reason," says Dan. "Its effects are both grounding and euphoric promoting a sense of well being and relaxation with a woody, sweet and exotic scent that wraps you in peace and harmony."
Here is a set of six different types of incense you can burn for meditation: Nag Champa, Sunrise, Sandalwood, Midnight, and Patchouli, and Celestial by Satya. Many people burn incense to relieve stress and tension, because the scent of burning incense doesn't just affect moods and spaces, it changes them.
Patchouli for balancing emotions. "Supposedly the only substance whose scent arouses most males is that of cinnamon, which is often a component in mixed incenses," says deTraci. "For women, jasmines and roses scents are supposed to enhance the romantic mood. And 60s hippie favorite patchouli is said to work on both!"
Patchouli to lift your spirits. "Patchouli has a satisfying earthy quality that is great to balance the emotions and help you relax," says Dan. "At the same time it energizes and uplifts the spirits. As well as contributing to peace of mind, it is a great aphrodisiac. That must be why I like it so much!"
If you'd like to use incense to spice up your love life, you may like Nippon Kodo – Morning Star – Patchouli incense sticks.
Amber for elevation and letting go (helpful in meditation). "Amber is a sweet layered scent, with spicy, earthy rich undertones," says Dan. "Known as the "King of Scents" it will help you let go of daily concerns and enter the world of sensual arousal or spiritual elevation, depending on the intention."
Cedar and sage for positive energy. "Cedar and Sage drive out negative energies, spirits and influences," says Dan. "They have been traditionally used as a smudge to purify people and places before any sacred ceremony. They both help with creating a meditative and relaxing space."
If you're thinking about burning incense for mediation and prayer, listen to Vidya's advice: "The smoke can aggravate or irritate those with respiratory problems and COPD," she says. "So it is better to avoid lighting an incense stick/cone near someone like that. Some people develop a headache from prolonged exposure to smoke."
Burning incense isn't just for mediation and prayer. Incense can can become a ritual for relaxing, cleansing, and purifying your thoughts and energy. And, mediation isn't just for relaxing! Mediation can help students focus while studying, decrease the stress medical students feel, and make you a more compassionate person.
"Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense." ~ Amelia Earhart.
I welcome your thoughts on burning incense for meditation and prayer below…

Dugger needed 30 families -- and got more than 80 -- at Catholic Charities food drive
DUGGER -- Only a month ago, Catholic Charities was considering abandoning efforts to stop and dispense food to needy families here.
Participation was down considerably -- enough that the Terre Haute-based charity's officials wondered whether its visits, already reduced to bimonthly stops, might need to end.
However, a push by local officials to gain numbers and improve participation brought nearly 90 families out to a make-or-break food distribution drive Nov. 12 at the Dugger Park Shelterhouse.
For the town to maintain regular visits from the Terre Haute-based assistance program, organizers said recipients' participation must be up significantly.
Organizers had hoped to bring around 30 recipients to the Nov. 12 distribution, the record shows.
They got those numbers -- and then some.
"There were over 80 families that received food," observed Terri Heaton. "The truck came full and left empty. The director said it was the largest crowd ever!"
Other volunteers concurred.
"We had a bunch of people show up," Town Councilman Kermit King said. "I counted around 75 cars."
Heaton added access to the distribution of monthly food allocations also imposes fewer requirements than many programs do.
There are no residency requirements, she said, and income levels are not checked.
"Out of those 80 or so families we had, probably less than half were from the Dugger area," Heaton noted. "But all in all, it was a help to those that came. And they will be back the second Monday in December."
Formal times on the Catholic Charities visit will be announced early next month, though Heaton said the group intends to keep returning monthly "as long as the numbers stay up."

Two days on from the release of the Federal Government's response to the Gonski review into school funding, School Education Minister Peter Garrett was still giving little in the way of detail yesterday.
Talking to a group of teachers and parents at East Kenwick Primary School yesterday, Mr Garrett said the key component of the proposed new funding model was that it would be "needs based" for the first time.
"We think this could make a massive difference to the country and a massive difference to the kids in our schools," he said.
Mr Garrett said the widespread criticism that Labor's plan lacked detail was not fair because the Commonwealth was yet to sit down with State education ministers to talk about how the model would work.
He refused to comment on estimates the school funding reforms could cost WA an extra $450 million a year.
"I'm not going to go to the issue of discussing figures at all," he said.
"What I can say is that I look forward to sitting down and working these issues through both with (WA Education Minister) Peter Collier and other ministers over the coming weeks."
Under the proposed funding model, governments would provide the same base rate for each student, regardless of whether they attended a public or private school.
Extra cash would go to schools with disadvantaged students.
Mr Garrett said Labor's plan would help pay for more training for teachers, more literacy and numeracy coaches and programs such as homework and breakfast clubs.
Each school would be required to have an improvement plan outlining how it would improve students' results.

Arlee "Jo"
Dec. 24, 1926
Oklahoma, USA
Oct. 29, 2011
Oklahoma, USA
Arlee "Jo" Crowl passed away Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011, surrounded by her family, after a long battle with congestive heart failure.
Funeral services for Jo will be Thursday Nov. 3, 2011, at 10 a.m. at the First Christian Church, officiated by Doyle Kinney, and burial will conclude in the Clinton Cemetery under the direction of the Kiesau-Lee Funeral Home.
Jo Crowl was born Dec. 24, 1926, to Wesley Herman and Nina Bea Morris. She attended Arapaho High School and graduated in 1945.Jo began her studies in business when she attended Oklahoma A&M for one semester on a scholarship she won as the outstanding 4-H girl for Custer County.
Jo put her bookkeeping skills to work for Strange Jones Hardware and Sears in the early part of her career. Jo joined her husband, Bud, at Midwest Farmers Co-op and cotton gin as the bookkeeper and debt collector in about 1950.
She worked hard to keep accurate records for the business and to be sure that customers were treated fairly. For that, she was loved by customers and auditors alike. During her time at Midwest Farmers, the cotton gin burned down and was re-built in 1957. Jo worked there until her retirement in 1995.
Jo was very involved in her children's lives as they grew up. She served as a Cub Scout den mother, a Girl Scout leader, 4-H Leader and was also involved in the PTA at Washington Elementary School. Jo also was a longtime member of the Clinton Quilters Guild.
Jo's strength allowed her to accomplish many things in her life. She was very proud of being a 32-year survivor of breast cancer. Those 32 years gave her time to help shape the lives of the grandchildren and great grandchildren that she loved so much. The grandkids each have very special memories of how she has touched their lives. They love their grandma and will certainly miss her.
Jo was preceded in death by her parents; son, Steven Joe Crowl; and brother, Harold Dean Morris.
Jo is survived by her husband of 64 years, Ray (Bud) Crowl of the home; her son, Kenneth Ray Crowl of Enid; her daughter, Karin Lynn Snider and her husband, Donald W. Snider, of Clinton; grandchildren, Cindy Crowl, Brad Snider and his wife, Crystal, Chad Crowl and his fiancée Holly Shearon, Jared Snider and his wife, Amber, Justin Snider and Dawnel Hollan, and Julie Gordon and her husband, Chris; great grandchildren, Bryce Crowl, Bradon and Bryson Snider, Jordyn Snider, and Nathan, Keaton and Kiersten Gordon; her sister, Vera Bea Speilman and her husband, Don, of Topeka, Kan.
She is also survived by several nieces and nephews, as well as special family friends: Pat and Virgil Smith, Debbie Newman, Amy Kelley, and longtime friend and minister Doyle Kinney and his wife, Terri.
Jo's faith and love of the Lord has been a large part of her life from a very early age. She was baptized when she was 12 years old at the First Christian Church of Custer City. Later, Jo worked with the preschoolers at Vicksburg's Country Church and taught Sunday school for both the middle school and youth at the First Christian Church in Clinton. She also worked at church camp and drove an occasional church bus.The family would like to say "thank you" to Dr. Robert Blakeburn, Integris Samaritan Home Care and Western Oklahoma Hospice for the wonderful care that was provided. They would also like to thank all those who have kept Jo and the family in their thoughts and prayers as they have made this journey.
The family asks for donations to be made to the First Christian Church of Clinton or the charity of one's choice.

Answering Questions About Time-Barred Debt
Posted On:
Bankruptcy attorneys in Hackensack regularly counsel clients who feel overwhelmed by consumer debt. Without turning to a lawyer with experience in bankruptcy law, many of these clients would have falsely believed that they owed money to a creditor who had actually run out of time to collect on a debt. Read on for answers to common questions about time-barred debt. When Is An Old Debt Too Old For a Collector To Sue? Usually, the clock starts ticking when a consumer fails to make a payment. But when it stops depends on the state where you live and the kind of debt you are carrying. For example, the statute of limitations for credit card debt in a few states may be as long as 10 years, but many states impose a limit of three to six years for a creditor to sue. What Should I Do if a Debt Collector Calls About a Time-Barred Debt? If a collector doesn't tell you that a particular debt is time-barred but you believe that it is, ask the caller if the debt is beyond the statute of limitations. Bankruptcy attorneys also advise clients to ask what the collector's records show as the date of the last payment. If a debt collector does not provide this information, send a letter explaining that you would like to verify the debt. Must I Pay a Debt That's Considered Time-Barred? Make sure to discuss your best course of action with a bankruptcy lawyer. Remember that even if a collector can no longer sue you, you still owe the bill. Not paying a debt can lower your credit rating and make it harder to get credit or insurance. Your lawyer may also be able to negotiate so you only pay back part of the debt and the rest is forgiven. Do you need help filing for bankruptcy? The experienced attorneys at Low & Low Bankruptcy Lawyers are here for you. With decades of experience, we have helped countless satisfied clients in Elizabeth, Jersey City, and Hackensack regain their financial footing. Learn more about our bankruptcy law services by calling (800) 343-4749.
What Happens When You File Bankruptcy During Divorce?
Posted On:
While filing for bankruptcy will not affect actions to establish custody or child support, it will pause the ongoing division of property during a divorce proceeding. Make sure to consult with a lawyer for bankruptcy tips and bankruptcy advice before making any decisions. When you do file for bankruptcy, most of your property becomes the property of your bankruptcy estate. Additionally, an automatic stay goes into effect that prohibits all actions to obtain or exercise control over property of the bankruptcy estate. That means that any proceedings to divide joint property, or the estate, will be stalled. Are you considering filing for bankruptcy? Consult with one of the loan modification and bankruptcy attorneys at Low & Low Bankruptcy Lawyers. With convenient locations in Elizabeth, Jersey City, and Hackensack, you can schedule a consultation and get legal advice from a bankruptcy attorney today. Call us at (800) 343-4749 to learn more about our services.
What Is an Objection to Bankruptcy Dispersement?
Posted On:
When a client and his attorney declare bankruptcy in Elizabeth, all of the client's assets must be turned over to the court. A court-appointed trustee then decides how the creditors are going to be paid via the following process. First, creditors file proofs of claim to state how much money they are owed. Next, the trustee decides how funds will be distributed amongst creditors. The trustee will file a report that is available for creditors to look at. If you want to object to how the money is being distributed, you and your attorney need to file a formal objection with the court—or you may lose your right to object at all. Only a bankruptcy lawyer can make sure that the objection is properly and timely filed. Find out more about bankruptcy law and get advice about your case by calling Low & Low Bankruptcy Lawyers at (800) 343-4749 today.
Tips for Preparing a Loan Modification Hardship Letter
Posted On:
If you are facing serious financial hardship but are not yet ready to declare bankruptcy, you should consider speaking with an attorney about loan modification in Elizabeth. Homeowners can often sometimes foreclosure by working with their lenders to change the terms of their mortgage loans to make the payments more affordable. Keep reading for some helpful pointers on how to write a loan modification hardship letter to your lender. Consult an Attorney When you apply for a mortgage loan modification, the central part of your request centers around your hardship letter. Because the letter is so essential, you may want to start out by speaking to a bankruptcy lawyer who can offer you legal advice. An experienced attorney knows the proper format and ingredients of a hardship letter and can help you determine your best legal course of action. Describe Your Hardship In the first paragraph of your letter, advise your lender that you are seeking a loan modification. Next, explain the financial hardship that prompts you to make the request. For example, some people seek loan modifications after a job loss or loss of income. Other times, a primary wage earner has died or has had substantial medical bills that have made it impossible to keep up with regular payments. Suggest Viable Solutions If you want to structure a loan modification so you are able to keep your home, make sure to state that clearly. Remember, lenders do not grant mortgage modifications easily. Borrowers who present solutions for making regular payments are more likely to have their requests granted. Make sure you are clear about exactly which terms of the mortgage you would like to have changed. Provide Contact Information Finally, make sure to include your phone number and e-mail address in addition to your permanent home address. If the loan is in two people's names, each borrower should sign and date the letter. The team of lawyers at Low & Low Bankruptcy Lawyers is pleased to offer a wide range of legal services, including loan modification and bankruptcy assistance. Whether you need bankruptcy tips or want legal advice on how to prepare a loan modification letter, contact our Hackensack area office by calling (800) 343-4749.
