Friends since childhood, Shane Medeiros says he, Kollin Elderts, and friends were drinking, celebrating and having a good time on the night of Nov. 5, 2011 before they stopped at McDonald's in Waikiki -- their last stop before heading back to their hotel.
"They were all laughing, they knew we were kidding around," he said joking with cashiers at the Waikiki McDonald's on Kuhio Avenue.
He told jurors the two of them started joking with a customer, Michel Perrine, who didn't take it so well.
"Kollin said to the (cashier) 'You're gonna take his order and not my order? I see how it is. I see how it is.' I remember this guy (Perrine) looking over and saying, like, 'I live in Hawaii too.' I just remember calling and telling him 'good for you.' Then (Kollin) made it clear, he told the guy, we're just joking."
Medeiros said Perrine continued to stare at him, which sparked his harsh words.
"I notice this guy still staring, so I said 'do you have an (expletive) problem? We told you we were just joking around with you, why still staring?'" he said he told Perrine.
That's when he said he first noticed special agent Christopher Deedy.
He said moments later he walked over to where Elderts was sitting.
"He was just standing there like he had something to prove to us," said Medeiros.
"By the time I get there I heard him say (to Elderts),'acting like this will get you shot, you don't feel like getting shot do you?' And then Kollin and I looked at each other, like, 'what?' Then Kollin got up and said, 'you gonna shot me?' Deedy said 'you feel like getting shot? You wanna get shot?' (Deedy) said it multiple times," he said.
It was a heated exchange that was about to get a lot worse.
"Then I noticed the defendant put his hand on his right hip. At first thought it was a Tazer, at first, and then realized this is an actual gun, he has a gun," said Medeiros.
Medeiros said he soon started fighting with Deedy's friend Adam Gutowski.
"As we were on to each other, I just remember hearing 'bang, bang, bang' hearing shots," he said.
"And when you heard the gun shots what did you do?" asked deputy prosecutor Janice Futa.
"I was kind of thinking that's not what I thought it was, and as we were kind of holding on to each other I kind of remember looking over and then just seeing little drops of blood on the ground," said Medeiros.
Medeiros said Gutowski and others pushed him out the door, and he couldn't get back in to McDonald's.
He said it wasn't until after the shooting that an officer told him Elderts was dead.

June 7, 2013 —
Pike County officials are hoping that new legislation proposed in Harrisburg will divert "a lot of expense" for homeowners who would have to modify waterfront on-lot sewage systems under new PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) policy.
Pike Commissioners' Chair Rich Caridi said at the meeting on June 6 that area Assembly and state Senate members have proposed legislation to mitigate the new policy.
Caridi said that Pike representatives Mike Peifer and Rosemary Brown, and Senator Lisa Baker have all joined in moving the legislation. Representative Sandra Major is also a co-sponsor
In a May 2 memorandum to the Assembly bill sponsor Representative David Maloney explained that DEP proposed the new policy after losing a court challenge to its approval of a Lycoming County sewage plan.
Since that decision (Pine Creek Valley Watershed Assoc. v. DEP), Maloney wrote, "the department proposed new guidance for on-lot systems within High Quality and Exceptional Value Watersheds."
Uncommon in most of the state, these streams drain much of Wayne and most of Pike counties.
That guidance reportedly would prohibit septic systems closer than 150 feet from a body of water or 30 feet from a stream, and require underground septic systems to be surrounded by a barrier to prevent the effluent from traveling underground.
This would be required to prevent nitrates in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) from getting into the water stream or water body.
The 10 ppm standard dates from studies as early as 1945 which were incorporated in 1997 federal Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) water standards.
The EPA found that nitrate levels of less than 40 ppm can cause fatal cyanosis, oxygen deprivation, when ingested by infants less than six months of age.
Caridi denies that Pike County has any history of elevated nitrate levels in its public waters, other than a contested EPA sampling from Lake Wallenpaupack.
Maloney wrote, "It has since become clear through public input that the proposed [DEP] guidance would be impractical; leaving DEP with no approach with which to rely upon when approving development projects using on-lot systems in HQ and EV watersheds."
The bills, HB 1325 and SB 946, would amend the language of existing state clean water law, to provide that existing permitted systems design would "satisfies the anti-degradation requirements of the "The Clean Streams Law."
As to the bill's progress, the Assembly bill was awaiting action by the House Appropriations Committee on June 5.
In other business at the June 5 commissioners meeting:
- Marvin Brotter reported that the county has received three applications for this year's federal Community Block Development Grant distribution of $248,724. He said the application period remains open and three applications already received include, $143,000 for Milford Borough, $15,000 for Matamoras Borough and $70,000 for Shohola Township.
- Noted Judge Joseph Kameen's hiring of Nathan Volpi as a law clerk
- Noted District Attorney Ray Tonkin's hiring of Migdalia Cortes as Central Booking Coordinator, and Megan Welsh as a summer intern.
- Noted County Prison Warden Craig Lowe's hiring of George Kumbrus as a Sergeant for the position of Records Manager, and Elisa Diaz, Cassandra Bishop, Steven Burton and Karen Bryant as correction officers.
The commissioners also:
Approved re-advertisement of the county's voluntary recycling ordinance, due to a wording error in the original advertisement,
Adopted a resolution providing "temporary tax exemptions for certain improvements or new construction" in deteriorated areas in Blooming Grove Township.
Agreed to execute a $6,614 grant for the county's Victim Witness Program on behalf of the district attorney's office.

Environmental Science Concentration
Some environmental careers are practiced primarily in one field of science. Students interested in pursuing such careers should consider the option of a science major with an environmental science concentration. It is strongly advised that students talk with science faculty in choosing their option.
Core: A major in biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, mathematics/physics, or physics and six additional courses as described below:
- Four science courses in two sciences outside the student's major including two or three units in one science and one or two in another. Only two courses can be at the introductory level, which means they lack prerequisites. Courses are to be selected from the list below and in consultation with the concentration director and the student's major department. It is possible to substitute other upper-level science courses, depending on the interests of the student.
- Biology 195, 215, 216, 225, 227, 237, 332, 240, 365
- Chemistry 121,123, 200, 206, 211, 212, 337, 327 (1/2 unit)
- Geology 101, 202, 205, 208, 211, 216, 306, 307, 311
- Mathematics and Computer Science 209, 141, 143, 171, 173, 210
- Physics 115, 116, 167, 168
- One unit selected from the "Society and Culture" or "Language, Idea and Image" lists in the environmental studies major or one additional upper-level science course not in the student's major.
Experiential requirements:
- Attendance at a series of seminars each semester. In these, students who completed internships the previous semester will report on them, and other items of general interest, such as graduate schools and careers, will be discussed.
- An environmental research project, service project or internship. Students should have prior approval of the concentration director, and must make a presentation in the seminar and submit a paper summarizing the experience

Max Gresham Puts Wraps On Birthday Weekend Tripleheader
GRIFFIN, GA (May 4, 2011) – Three races in four days along a birthday and an anniversary made last weekend one that Max Gresham will never forget.
Gresham competed in the NASCAR K&N event and the Denny Hamlin Short-Track Showdown in Richmond, VA on Thursday before heading to Salem, IN for an ARCA race Sunday. Along the way, Gresham celebrated his 18th birthday and saluted his grandparents 50th-wedding anniversary.
When asked if the whole experience had worn him out right after Sunday's ARCA race, Gresham responded "no, I'm fine, let's go again somewhere."
You couldn't blame Gresham if he was just at least a little tired.
At Richmond, Gresham spent more than eight hours in a racecar and sped on foot between garage areas throughout the day.
[nggallery id=29]
The results were spectacular as Gresham wheeled the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to the pole position, led nearly half the race, and finished fourth in the Blue Ox 100 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East event.
"We had an awesome lap to win the pole – two-tenths of a second faster than anyone else," said Gresham. "It carried over into the race where we led a bunch and were fast over the first 60 laps. We ran in the top two the whole race until the car fell off really bad at the end. The finish definitely helped us in the points. Any top-five finish we can get is going to help us in the points at the end of the season."
The solid effort jumped Gresham to seventh in the K&N East standings after three races – just 65 markers out of first.
The soon to be Woodward Academy high school graduate had little time to catch his breath as he immediately jumped into the No. 71 FedEx Freight/ARGO Group Toyota for the Hamlin 'Showdown' event. The race, which featured top NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Tony Stewart, Bill Elliott, Michael Waltrip, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Hamlin, saw Gresham rocket from his eighth starting position to swapping the lead several times with Busch, the sport's current top star at the race's halfway point.
Gresham saw his shot at winning the race go up in smoke when a crash not of his making while running fourth with less than 10 laps to go saddled him with a 14th-place finish.
"It was great racing Kyle for the lead," said Gresham. "I absolutely love Richmond. You can really have fun doing the kind of side-by-side racing that Kyle and I did. Unfortunately, we didn't get the result we wanted, but our FedEX Freight/ARGO Group Toyota was definitely the fastest car here tonight. I really have to thank Jamie Yelton and Fat Head Racing for that. I had a blast, a really amazing day. I can't wait to come back here to Richmond and race again."
After a half-day back in his native Georgia to regroup, Gresham flew to Indiana to make his 2011 ARCA Series debut in the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 at Salem Speedway. There, Gresham drove to the front by the halfway point of the race and was running fifth with a fresh set of tires waiting for him in the Venturini Motorsports pit box when a tangle with a lapped car severely damaged his No. 25 Gresham & Associates Toyota Camry.
Undaunted, the Venturini crew repaired the car in time to get Gresham back on track for a respectable 15th-place finish.
"We had a good run going and got swept up into somebody else's mess," said Gresham. "We led some early in the race. These Venturini Motorsports guys put a great car under me. They set up two great race cars today – one won and the other one should have won. I can't wait to drive one of their cars again.
"This weekend was good for me," Gresham concluded. "It showed I could drive three different cars on three different days. Hopefully, I can one day be like Kyle (Busch) and run three different cars every weekend. I can do it physically. Maybe after this weekend, some other people will see that in me."
Gresham will now hit the testing trail with sessions at Bowman Gray Stadium , the site of an upcoming June 4 NASCAR K&N event, and he will also get some testing in at Michigan Speedway on Wednesday, May 25. The Jackson, MI two-mile oval will be the site of Gresham's career superspeedway debut as he will wheel the No. 25 Venturini Motorsports Toyota in the ARCA RainEater Wiper Blades 200 on June 17.
Gresham's next K&N race will be on Saturday, May 21 at Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA. He and his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota are the defending champions of the event.

As the 43rd annual Earth Day approaches Monday, Goodwill encourages consumers to remember the widespread impact from the simple act of donating goods.
Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois has been an environmental pioneer and social innovator of the "reduce, reuse, repurpose" practice since 1936. Locally, Goodwill diverts more than eight million pounds of clothing and household goods every year from landfills by recovering the value in people's unwanted material goods; and in the process, creating job-training opportunities for people in need of work. In addition, Goodwill and Dell's free computer recycling program, Dell Reconnect, allow people to make a donation knowing it's good for people and the planet.
With more than 2,500 Goodwill locations participating across the U.S. and Canada, the Dell Reconnect program allows people to simply drop off used computers and computer equipment (any brand, and in any condition) at their local Goodwill. More than 450,000 pounds of computer electronics have been responsibly recycled per year since the partnership began in 2004.
In 2010, Goodwill launched the Donate Movement, a corporate social responsibility platform and public awareness movement that encourages consumers to think of donating used goods as just as essential to environmental responsibility as recycling paper and plastics. Via the Donate Movement microsite (donate.goodwill.org), users can calculate the social impact of their own clothing and household item donations, while a new feature on the site tracks how many pounds of usable goods Goodwill has diverted from landfills since January 2012 – currently totaling more than three billion.
"With Earth Day now four decades old, more Americans than ever before are concerned about environmental issues," said Goodwill's President, Sam Schmitz. "Yet it is easy to lose track of the ways that one person can make a difference. For more than 75 years, Goodwill has linked protecting the environment to helping people earn paychecks, support their families and strengthen their communities."
The Donate Movement website lets consumers see how much of an impact they can make on the planet by donating used goods. The website also provides a step-by-step guide on how to organize a donation drive at a campus, school or other location, gives bloggers the opportunity to raise awareness by joining the Donate Movement Network, and provides resources on where to bring used goods. For more information, visit donate.goodwill.org.
Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois is a community-based not-for-profit organization that provides jobs training, and placement services for people with barriers to achieve meaningful employment. Rockford serves as the headquarters for Goodwill Northern Illinois and is one of 165 Goodwill agencies under the auspices of Goodwill Industries International.
Goodwill Northern Illinois' territory includes an 18-county area in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin with a combined population of over 1.1 million residents. Goodwill's retail operations sell donated, gently-used products as well as new items such as overstocks and close-outs from some of the best-known stores in the state. Goodwill stores in northern Illinois (Rockford, Machesney Park, Freeport, Sterling, DeKalb, Ottawa, McHenry, and Huntley) and Beloit, Wis. employ nearly 300 people. Visit www.goodwillni.org.

Marshall Wace rises but Alan Howard tops the pile in Europe
Marshall Wace has entered the top five rankings of the European hedge fund managers that have made the most money for investors since their inception, according to new research.
The firm, which was set up in 1997 by Paul Marshall and Ian Wace, is one of four long/short equity managers that dominate the latest European rankings from fund of funds manager LCH Investments. In 2013, Marshall Wace made net gains of $1.4 billion.
LCH revealed its global top 20 last week but the group has now published its breakout of the top hedge fund managers in Europe for the second year.
Top of the list again is global macro trader Alan Howard, the Geneva-based founder of Brevan Howard Asset Management. Howard's flagship Brevan Howard fund has generated net gains of $17 billion for investors since it launched in 2003, according to LCH, despite the fund gaining just 2.6% last year, according to investors.
Lansdowne Partners' Pete Davies and Stuart Roden move up one position from last year into second place, with net gains of $8.2 billion since inception. This puts the pair just ahead of long/short equity peer John Armitage, founder of Egerton Capital, who has generated $8.1 billion since he launched his firm two decades ago – he made net gains of $2.8 billion last year.
During 2013, Davies and Roden netted gains of $3.2 billion with their developed markets strategy — more than any other manager in Europe, according to LCH. Performance was driven by successful investments in banks and airlines, and short positions in single-stock names, according to its year-end letter.
In fourth place is Chris Hohn's The Children's Investment Fund, which generated $2.4 billion of gains last year and $6.7 billion in the decade since it launched. TCI, one of the biggest shareholders in the newly-privatised Royal mail, gained 47% in 2013, helped by positions in Australian rail freight operator Aurizon, French Airbus and Porsche.
Rich Sopher, chairman of LCH Investments, said: "In 2013, we estimate that 70% of all gains made by hedge funds came from equities and the European rankings reflect that, with the top managers mainly pursuing equity strategies. Lansdowne, Egerton, TCI and Marshall Wace did it particularly well with a combined investment performance of approximately 22% in 2013, greatly outperforming European market and hedge fund indexes."
The average equities hedge fund gained 14.33% last year, according to data provider Hedge Fund Research. Some of the household names in the European hedge fund industry substantially outperformed this. Lansdowne's developed markets hedge fund was up 33.1%, while John Armitage's global hedge fund was up 27.7%, and Paul Marshall's Eureka Fund gained 21.6%, according to investors.
Managers like Lansdowne, Egerton, TCI and Marshall Wace, which invest in companies on the basis of fundamental analysis, benefited from a strong environment for stock pickers last year as macro tailwinds in Europe abated.
Sopher said: "These managers have all controlled capital inflows, which is a key to developing a long term record of making money for investors"
Every year LCH Investments, part of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, ranks single-manager hedge funds globally by how much they have generated for investors in dollar terms since they were launched. This way of measuring performance avoids the common distortion that occurs when managers achieve their best performance on small assets in their early years, and can skew performance measured in percentage terms, rather than dollar terms.
Last week LCH Investments published the global ranking of the world's greatest money managers. Alan Howard came seventh in the list and was the only European manager to appear in the top 20. George Soros' Quantum Endowment Fund came top of the list with net gains of $39.6 billion since its inception in 1973.

A striking species of damselfish in the genus Chromis, it was first observed in 1997 by Richard Pyle during a dive to 120 meters (400 feet) in Palau. It was later seen in the same general area by Patrick Colin and Lori Bell from a small submersible, and again from a Remotely Oerated Vehicle (ROV) in Indonesia by Forrest Young. It managed to ellude capture for a full decade, until nine specimens were finally captured in April 2007 at a depths of 107-116 meters (350-380 feet) by researchers using sophisticated closed-circuit rebreather dive gear, who were being filmed as part of a documentary for the BBC. Very little is known about the ecology or behavior of this species, due to its relatively deep-dwelling habits, but it likely feeds on plankton. This species holds a special place in taxonomic history as being the very first species to be registered in ZooBank (the online registry of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature), and for being formally described in an article published exactly 250 years after the official start of Zoological Nomenclature.

The Defenders also advanced to the Division II National Tournament in 2006 when they were bounced in the first round by Lindenwood. Dordt's previous trip to the national tournament was in 1988 when they advanced to the quarterfinals in the one class field.
THE FIELD (Upsets Galore To Start)…Day one of the tournament was not good for the better seeds as we bid farewell to five seeded teams with three of them falling out of the top quarter of the field. The biggest upset came when the host school, College of the Ozarks, beat no. 3 seed Northwest. York and Midland both earned their first wins ever in the national field in a pair of upsets that sent the no. 8 and no. 9 seeds home.
Thursday saw the order restored as three of the top four seeds won games in Dordt's quarterfinal bracket with the lone upset coming in mild form as Bellevue beat Rochester. Later in the day St. Thomas dropped Mount Mercy from the seeded ranks; Grace blew out Tennesee Wesleyan 93-69 and Cal Maritime handed Northwestern a 76-54 loss as the all four games in that quarterfinal bracket went to the unseeded team. Dakota State made a it a clean sweep for the underdog in that bracket when they beat no. 5 Warner Pacific in the final game of the first round.
In all the underdog won 10 of the 16 games in the first two days of the tournament.

I imagine the insert script to be something like:
Code: Select all
$url = "blah.com/myfolder/images01.jpg";
$query = "INSERT INTO images VALUES (NULL, $url);
$result = mysql_query($query);
print "Image URL inserted, thank you."
Then to retrieve the url and display the image, is I believe where the trouble is. I have:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images_test WHERE pid=3");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$content = $row['image'];
header('Content-type: image/jpg');
echo $content;
All I get is a notice saying the image can not be displayed because it contains errors.
Any hints or a good tutorial link would be great, thanks!

The hardest part of spring cleaning? Disposing of all the stuff I've deemed clutter. But in an effort to be a little more DIY-saavy this year (in no small part thanks to Pinterest), I'm challenging myself to come up with crafty ways to reuse old items. Here, some spring DIY inspiration:
An old drying rack makes for a great, makeshift file organizer. Extra shower hooks? Hang them in the hall closet as bag holders. Save the drawers from that old dresser you're replacing and mount them for some extra storage space. Replacing jiggling door knobs? Use them (or a rake head) to store and display your jewelry. Even old cans can be mounted as jazzy new storage for utensils.
There are so many possibilities and ways to repurpose those old items. All it takes is a little crafty thinking and some extra effort. (Okay, some skilled handiwork doesn't hurt, either.)

Main components of MARS
Like a power strip at the end of an oversized extension cord, the bright-orange MARS science node lies at the end of a 52-km (32-mile) cable connecting the unit to power and computers at MBARI. Electronics within the node can route electricity and data to up to eight science experiments, each of which may incorporate multiple sensors.
|The trawl-resistant frame
The MARS science node consists of two pieces: the massive orange "trawl-resistant frame" and the electronics package, which fits inside this frame.
The trawl-resistant frame consists of a truncated pyramid made of steel plates that is 3.7 by 4.6 meters (12 by 15 feet) wide at the base and 1.2 meters (4 feet) tall. This frame protects the node's electronic components from boat anchors or commercial fishing gear. Its smooth corners and sloping sides are designed to prevent such gear from snagging. Doors on each side of the frame can be opened, allowing remotely operated vehicles to plug or unplug experiments.
The electronics package
The heart of the science node, the electronics package, consists of two titanium pressure housings suspended beneath a block of yellow buoyant foam. Inside one housing is electronic equipment for routing data and controlling power to the instruments. Inside the second housing is the equivalent of an electrical substation, to convert the high voltage in the cable to lower voltages used by science instruments. For technical details on how the science node works, see this page.
Electrical power
Installing the equipment
The undersea cable
The MARS power and data cable follows a 52-km (32-mile) arc across Monterey Bay to the MARS observatory site. This curved route was chosen to avoid areas of rocky bottom and submarine landslides around Monterey Canyon. Along most of its route, the cable is buried about one meter (three feet) below the seafloor to minimize its effects on marine life and reduce the chance of its being snagged by anchors or fishing gear. In order to minimize the cable's impacts, MBARI scientists spent over a year studying the effects of a cable that runs offshore from Half Moon Bay.
|This illustration shows the MARS science node in its trawl-resistant frame. The main MARS cable from shore enters the node from the left. On the right are four of the eight "extension cables" for individual MARS test experiments. Steel doors on the sides of the node can be opened so that remotely operated vehicles can plug or unplug connectors. Sophisticated electronics within the science node route data and convert the high voltage current in the cable to lower voltages needed by instruments. Illustration courtesy of L-3 MariPro.
|This massive orange-painted steel frame will protect the node's electrical equipment from damage by fishing nets and anchors. The frame was installed during the cable-laying process. Later, the main node, with its yellow floatation pack, was lowered into the frame by ROV Ventana. In this photo, you can see the the two pressure cylinders that contain electrical equipment for handling power and data. Photo courtesy of L-3 MariPro.
|Technicians Dick Littlefield and Jose Rosal work on the electronics that fit inside one of the MARS node's titanium pressure cylinders. After sealing, the canister will hang under the MARS node's yellow foam block (see above photo). Photo: Kim Fulton-Bennett (c) 2005 MBARI.

Some thought this opening night concert of the Detroit Jazz Festival should have been on CLOSING night. What could follow it? Well, three days and two nights of four stages of music, one night quickly moved indoors because of thunderstorms, temperatures in the 90s plunging into the 50s, a panoply of music and the people who come out and see it, and the experiences and emotions that come with that, that's what Sing the Truth! helped to get started.
Mark Stryker wrote in the Detroit Free Press, " This was the most intelligent and satisfying mix of progressive ideas and traditional programming since I started covering the event 15 years ago. . . ."
Thanks also to our hardworking friends at the Detroit Jazz Festival for making it all happen, and for letting WBGO play a part. And you can always check back to wbgo.org/detroit to read all of our interviews, photos and updates that comprise our comprehensive coverage of the event.

Saturday at the Detroit Jazz Festival .. hot and stormy
September 4, 2011. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Dave Holland, Detroit Jazz Festival, Detroit Jazz Festival 2011, Jazz Alive, Sean Jones, Warren Wolf
Warren Wolf, the young vibes man from Baltimore with the strong new CD, played for keeps in overwhelming heat. Warren's on the fall schedule for Josh Jackson's Live from the 92Y series. Buy your ticket.
Sean Jones on the amphitheatre stage was "killin" says Josh, in fact JJ tweeted "best set of the festival so far." Listen for Sean, Labor Day at noon on Jazz 88 and WBGO dot org.
After Sean, a serious storm blew in. The Sun Ra Arkestra squeezed a brief acoustic set between the first storm and a second that came barreling in from the west. To save the night, the Festival moved some music to the hotel as a HIGH WIND JAM SESSION, and the Dave Holland Octet delivered a performance I won't forget!
The bar was crowded and noisy, yet Dave's acoustic bass reached out to everyone. He's so musical and projects without forcing, and as for Chris Potter, his tenor is like a ribbon and a knife at the same time. Gary Smulyan crooned on bari. With great writing and solos all around, people – on their feet – turned to face and love the band, all the way to the end.
Later Dave told me a good story. When he played with Miles, he experienced how a musician could quiet a noisy room. On the intro to the ballad "I Fall in Love Too Easily," for example, Miles would start alone, playing naturally, not raising his trumpet. The band would join in, and somewhere in the second or third chorus, Dave says, the people stopped talking and started listening, because - through his music – Miles had insisted.

The Origins of Halloween Halloween is celebrated all over the world. Halloween traditions include treat-or-treating, jack-o-lanterns and ghost stories. But where do these traditions come from? Here are a few Halloween facts from the folks at The History Channel. (credit: AP)
It All Started With The Irish (actually the Celts) Halloween is traced back to the Celtic festival of Samhain. Oct. 31 was their New Year's eve where they believed the ghosts of the dead returned to earth that night. They would hold bonfires, dress in costumes and tell fortunes. (credit: AP)
Bobbing For Apples 2,000 years later when the Romans conquered the Celts, they combined their own celebrations with Samhain. Feralia commemorated the passing of the dead, and Pamona celebrated the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. Her symbol was the apple and many believe this explains "bobbing" for apples at Halloween. (cedit: AP)
The Name 'Halloween' Later, the Catholic Church attempted to incorporate older rites with church sanctioned holidays. Pope Gregory moved All-Saints Day (or All-Hollows in Middle English) to November 1 to coincide with Samhain in Ireland. The night before was called All-Hallows Eve and eventually Halloween. The church also named Nov. 2 as All-Souls Day to remember the dead. (credit: VIKTOR DRACHEV/AFP/Getty Images)
Trick-or-Treating Trick-or-treating probably goes back to All-Soul's day parades in England when the poor would beg for food in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives. Eventually, kids started "going a-souling" in their own neighborhoods and would be given money and food. (credit: AP)
Dressing Up in Costume The History Channel says this dates back to when Celts and other Europeans thought ghosts came back to earth on Halloween. They would dress up when they left their homes so the ghosts would mistake them as fellow spirits. (credit: AP)
Beware of Black Cat This popular Halloween superstition probably goes back to when people thought witches transformed themselves into cats to avoid detection. (credit: AP)
Jack-O-Lanterns Jack-o-lanterns are traced to the Irish myth about "Stingy Jack" who tricked the Devil into sparing his soul. When Jack died, God wouldn't let him in heaven. The Devil gave a Jack a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal in a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth ever since. The Irish call him 'Jack of the Lantern' or 'Jack O'Lantern'. Irish began to carve turnips and put them in their windows to ward off Jack and other spirits. When the Irish came to America, they switched to the native pumpkins. (credit: AP)
Forgotten Traditions Finding A Husband Halloween used to be a time for matchmaking. In Ireland, a cook put a ring in mashed potatoes on Halloween hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. Some women would eat a sweet treat made of walnuts and nutmeg before going to bed on Halloween hoping to dream about her future husband. Another tradition said the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle. (credit: Newmakers/Getty Images)

No thank you! The Knicks already have an injury prone big in Turiaf, they don't need to have another one in K-Mart.
I know he's old but the guy can still defend! plus, he was a teammate of chauncey and melo which means he can immediateely play with them without chemistry issues. He can be our backup PF
No thank you! The Knicks already have an injury prone big in Turiaf, they don't need to have another one in K-Mart.
Let's just say the price was right and he could stay healthy for the season... he would be huge in the post season coming off the bench... K-Mart plays great when it matters and is a smart player. Him and Turiaf would bring so much energy and grit off the bench.
That being said I still think we can do better.
Would be a HUGE upgrade over Jared Jeffries & Shelden Williams. Question is, how much will he command? I've always wanted K-Mart on the Knicks. That's exactly the type of nasty player I think this team is sorely lacking. If the price is right I would love for us to make a move for him.
Can you imagine? our defense will be much improved.
Man even tho i dont like kenyon from that stunt he pulled in 04 he is exactly the type of player we ****ing need.
Who's that?

Freedom New Mexico
In proposing a major reshaping of defense spending even before the White House has processed the proposals and added its stamp of hopeful approval to the blueprint, Defense Secretary Robert Gates acknowledged that it will be difficult "to make tough choices about specific systems and defense priorities based solely on the national interest and then stick to those decisions over time."
That has to stand as one of the understatements of this or any century.
If there is a model of pure socialism in this country, it has to be the cluster of government-dependent companies known as the defense industry, or the military-industrial complex. Over the last half-century-plus a complex of companies has grown up whose only customer is the government, which means that the need for the kind of competition you see in more market-oriented industries simply doesn't apply. Political influence replaces customer preference in determining output.
Numerous defense secretaries, including Donald Rumsfeld and even Dick Cheney, have made yeoman efforts to reform the convoluted defense procurement process to make it more flexible and more capable of responding to the changing needs of military forces in the kinds of battles we are actually fighting rather than continuing to spend excessively to counter a Soviet Union that hasn't existed for almost 20 years. Each has failed.
Secretary Gates's impulses are constructive. He would produce only four more of the advanced $150-million F-22 fighter, topping the arsenal at 187, and divert spending to the less expensive F-35. He would stop buying the C-17 cargo plane, the Navy's stealth destroyer and the Army's futuristic combat vehicles. He would spend less on missile defense and more on unmanned drones of the kind being used in Pakistan, and beef up Special Forces for guerrilla-style operations. He would cut back on aircraft carrier groups — from 11 to 10 by 2040(!) — and build more smaller ships for closer-to-shore combat support operations.
Such reforms, combined with the kind of defense procurement reforms Secretary Gates proposes, would probably give the U.S. a more agile and effective military. Unfortunately, few are likely to come to pass.
Perhaps all you need to know about the chances for ending F-22 production is that there are subcontractors for the plane in 44 states. That means that members of Congress in both parties have an interest in defending the program regardless of whether it is needed or useful or not. Likewise, the C-17 has subcontractors in 40 states.
Ivan Eland, before becoming head of the Independent Institute's Center on Peace and Liberty, worked as a defense budget analyst for Congress. He told us that Mr. Gates is likely to get some of what he proposes "around the margins," but little of fundamental importance. "These defense contractors are politically shrewd," he told us. "They realize the administration will have to be able to point to a few successes." So the $11 billion program to build a new fleet of presidential helicopters may be eliminated, especially since President Obama has said he doesn't see the need for it. The Army's ambitious Future Combat Systems program may be scaled back. But the most sacred cows will remain intact.
The way the military-industrial complex operates, Mr. Eland suggested, is to slow down production of major weapons systems that come under criticism or are slated by the Pentagon for extinction. But that simply raises the unit cost and keeps the dinosaurs coming.
We wish Secretary Gates all the best in this latest effort to reform the Pentagon procurement system and eliminate unneeded defense systems. But we doubt if he'll have much success.

1157: Business support for farmers
This paper is summarised from 'Business support for farmers: an evaluation of the Farm Cornwall project' by Gerard McElwee, Nottingham Trent University, and Ivan Annibal, Rose Regeneration Ltd, Lincoln.
Year of Publication2010
Recognising business opportunities and planning to exploit them have become major requirements for farmers. Co-operation and networking skills, innovative abilities and risk-taking are important as are business planning, monitoring and reflection, team-working and leadership. The Farm Cornwall project encompasses an integrated approach to providing business support including sign-posting specialist advisers, the facilitation of training, assistance with major grant applications and help in accessing sources of social support. Replication of such a scheme across other rural regions is desirable but would require an appraisal of the efficacy of rural business support.

Alaska is a sport fisher's paradise and the salmon fishing is world class. An Alaska cruise offers fishing trips where you can ship your catch home and have a taste of your trip for weeks or months to come.
Sail past Alaska's glaciers and experience the majestic beauty that Alaska bestows. Once ashore you can see the glaciers up close on one of the many available excursions including hiking, helicopter and flightseeing tours.
Adventure Tours
Hiking tours are one of the best ways to experience the environment on an Alaska cruise. Another way to see the Alaskan wildlife is to take a kayak or canoe tour in one of Alaska's numerous waterways and encounter the many species of wildlife that make Alaska so special.
One of the highlights of an Alaska cruise is its amazing wildlife. There are many opportunities to view whales, sea lions, seals, otters and majestic Bald Eagles. If luck has it you may even get a glimpse of an occasional bear.
Alaskan Culture
The culture of the Native Americans is ever-present in Alaska. Learn about their history, culture and crafts and also learn about the pioneers that have helped to shape Alaskan society.

TEMECULA, CA – JULY 16, 2010 – The results are in from the California State Fair Wine Competition and South Coast Winery continues to top the charts, ranking among other stellar leaders in the wine industry.
While the Robert Hall Winery of Paso Robles took the Golden Bear award to the Paso Robles region this year for its 5 Best of Class, 3 Gold and 7 Silver Medals, South Coast Winery still left the California State Fair Wine Competition celebrating its BIG win earning 56 medals, including 15 Best of Class, 8 Gold, 19 Silver and 14 Bronze medals – taking home more medals than any other winery at this year's competition.
From vine to shelf, South Coast Winery has always placed quality ahead of quantity. With 60 of its wines earning 285 awards and medals so far in 2010 from both regional and international wine competitions, there is little doubt in anybody's mind that Jim Carter is meeting his dream and is continuing to push South Coast Winery and Southern California Temecula Valley Wine Country forward as a quality wine producing region.
42 Gold Medals
118 Silver Medals
92 Bronze Medals
26 Best of Class Medals
1 Winery of the Year
Always the visionary, Jim Carter set out to create the finest vineyards that would produce the greatest wines, however, that's not all Carter found himself particularly good at. The resort side of the South Coast enterprise completes the wine country experience and has earned high rankings on the internet's top travel sites, including Expedia and Trip Advisor. "The blending of nature, fine wine, fine food, and elegant comforts, presented to guests with gracious hospitality" is taken from the organization's Vision Statement. Says Carter, "South Coast Winery understands the important role it plays in helping raise the level of awareness in the domestic and international circles about the high quality wines being produced in the Southern California Temecula Valley Wine Region and takes this job seriously."
For more information about this release, electronic photos or to schedule a private media tour of South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, contact Crystal Magon at (951) 587-9463 Ext. 7204 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The FASB and IASB issued exposure drafts that would fundamentally change the accounting by insurers and other entities that issue contracts with insurance risk.
The FASB and IASB published their exposure drafts in late June on the insurance contracts project. The boards have been working together for several years to develop a comprehensive, converged standard on accounting for insurance contracts that would address recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. "Insurance contracts" would be broadly defined, and the proposed guidance would apply to contracts that are written as opposed to a class of entities that write them, unlike current U.S. GAAP. Thus, the guidance could have implications for entities that are not insurers, for example, banks that write financial guarantee products or certain indemnities.
Given the potential implications of the changes being considered, entities should be engaged in assessing the impact to their products, systems, and investor reporting and consider commenting on the proposals.
Key aspects of the proposals include the requirement to use a "current value" discounted cash flow measurement for the insurance contract liability. Any excess of expected premiums over expected claims and expenses would be deferred as "margin" and amortized into income over future periods. Expected losses would be recognized immediately. A modified approach would apply for short duration contracts (e.g., property/casualty contracts) meeting specified criteria, similar to today's unearned premium approach.
At transition, companies would apply a retrospective adoption method. Comments are due October 25.

Black Friday isn't always a bargainOctober 28,2012As we get ready to flip the calendar to November, were officially a month away from the holiday season and that infamous kickoff shopping day, Black Friday.
After the joy of making Thanksgiving dinner was passed from my mother to me several years ago, Ill admit that while I would love to witness the doors opening at Walmart on Black Friday, I am not up at 4 a.m. to observe that phenomenon. I watch it on the evening news and marvel at the fortitude of the many shoppers running for bargains and getting a head start on the holiday gift-giving season.
That was until I read a study about Black Friday bargains, or so they are called. Sure there are HD televisions in stock at unbelievable prices sitting at Best Buy for the first nine customers in the door, but are the bargains on Black Friday really bargains?
A national newspaper recently did a study of prices of popular holiday items and concluded that the best days to shop may not include standing outside all night while your turkey carvings and leftover stuffing are barely cold in the refrigerator.
Based on five years of pricing data, the study concluded that, for example, the best time to buy jewelry and watches is March and that by October, prices are beginning to rise and will continue to rise until the end of the holiday season. Prices will climb steadily from October to December.
The study looked at Ugg boots and found that the best time to buy is September. The average price of a pair of Uggs rises 59 percent during the holiday season. Another popular item, HD televisions, also gets more expensive as we get closer to Dec. 25. The best time to buy is September and October.
The study looked at a few hot toy items each year and found that the Elmo toys of last year increased 31 percent on Black Friday from what they were selling for in October.
Some items do become a bargain as the days to Christmas trickle down to a precious few. Kitchen appliances like mixers and other bigger-ticket items often decline in price through December, as do Xboxes and other high-tech game systems for kids (of all ages). Even Apple discounted its iPad on Black Friday last year.
Technology has made it very transparent for businesses and manufacturers to track inventory in a way. So they can offer a deal to lure people into the store in the wee hours of a cold morning but leave other alluring items at full price or even higher prices.
This means that retailers are very much in control of their profit potential and almost know what the customer will want even if the customer doesnt know.
What this study concludes is that in many cases, prices right now are lower than they will be after Thanksgiving. If you can shop now and put your gifts away so you will still remember where you hid them, late October is a great time to hit the stores.
I usually advocate for holding onto ones money longer and spending only when necessary. As we are only a month until the height of the holiday season, if its a bargain today and you have the money, buying it now may save you enough that its worth purchasing it a month ahead.
Whatever you decide, please be sure you can afford what you buy; plastic money has a way of arriving in the mail in the form of a bill along with stiff finance charges if you dont make a timely and full payment. Bargain or no bargain, be sure your gift-giving generosity is realistic and sustainable.

Does anyone give there baby hemp seed oil or flax seed oil for some added good fats and omega 3?
Does anyone give there baby hemp seed oil or flax seed oil for some added good fats and omega 3?
Nope. I don't see the point since he's still bf and there's plenty of that good stuff in my breastmilk!
i agree! with bf, it's maybe better the mum takes the supplements and let the goodness pass thro the bm rather than giving bb supplements at such a young age.
I actually take them myself. The mother can be low in these, causing the baby to actually take all that you have (through your milk) and eventually, they can be low on them as well. Taking them can't hurt, as long as you buy a really good quality one, otherwise you might be wasting your money. I actually went through really bad PPD with my last two babies, and being low on these can be one cause. And apparently it takes more and more out of your system with each birth (and then nursing) Anyway, when I was in the process of building these up in my system, I did give dd a drop in her mouth a couple times of day. HTH!

It sounds to me like your "mommy meter" is up and running accurately. What I mean by that is that you feel like your baby is fine, but someone else is telling you that she's not (which is clearly false). Listen to your instincts when it comes to your child. Even "experts" can be wrong.
I confess that I'm not a member of LLL--I joined this forum when my youngest was nearly weaned--but I disagree about LLL being a bunch of breastfeeding nazis. LLL has a wide variety of members, which vary from group to group. You might find that LLL is a more appropriate support group for you.
Good luck!

It cycles through the marine environment, entering primarily through riverine runoff. Silica is removed from the ocean by organisms such as diatoms and radiolarians that use an amorphous form of silica in their cell walls. After they die, their skeletons settle through the water column and the silica redissolves. A small number reach the ocean floor, where they either remain, forming a silaceous ooze, or dissolve and are returned to the photic zone by upwelling.

First Week at Shea
Took me long enough. But here are some fun photos from the home opener win against the Phillies. And to cap it off, a pic from the "Chick Bloggers at Shea" extravaganza the following Friday, when the fabulous Mets Grrl invited me to peep a game against the Nats in her seats! Thanks Mets Grrl! It was fun freezing my *** off with you!
First, ooh, look–planes! Planes over Shea! Such a novelty! But no, these were special planes. And they made a cool whoosh sound. So, yay planes.
Y'know what else was special? First pitch! In his beloved side-piping 80s uniform (if perhaps a bit larger)–our favorite SNY comedian, Tootsie Keith Hernandez.
Now, I'm sure other blogs, articles, etc. have gone over the Shea opener with a fine-toothed comb. But did they talk about the new at-bat pictures on the Diamondvision? Because okay, some of them are just too fun to bear. And by too fun, of course I mean…well…
First, let's examine the "I'm-a-gonna-hit-you" pose. For real, I was sitting in my chilly little seat thinking "Duc! Carloses! Shawnie! Don't be angry at me. I'm very nice and cheer for you!"
And then, Mr. Valenin.
Picture him saying "You must pay the rent!" And then the damsel in distress says "I can't pay the rent!" And then the hero storms in and declares "I'll pay the rent!"
So who's the hero? Maybe Greenie. After all, this pic of him looks like he's aiming for GQ model status. Watch out Wright and Reyes! Someone's coming to steal your headbands and gold lame jackets.
Finally, I'll leave you with some pics of yours truly. In the first, it's Monday, and I'm thinking–Boy, this is cold. In the second, it's Friday, and I'm with the lovely (bundled up) Mets Grrl, thinking Holy Frickin' Frick It's Cold! But fun. Cold but very, very fun!
Oh Shea, I missed your crappy splendor. You'll always be my first.
2 Comments
Those Mets poses are hilarious! How come I didn't notice them on the 11th? Oh yeah, because I was busy running around for foul balls (and it paid off)l.
-The Baseball Collector
Hey Zoe…
The Valentin picture is my fav… he looks pretty angry in it lol.
Did you hear about the trouble we caused in philly? tu;rns out we beat the phillies so badly last night Charlie Manuel threw a temper tantrum and challenged a radio reporter to a fight afterward lol. Team to beat? I don't think so!
Hope all is well…

Melanie Wright and her husband Dr. Gary Wright have undertaken a great project called "Pappy's Animal Rescue."
The two of them, along with an additional seven member Board of Directors, as well as Dr. Lois Duelburg, the local veterinarian from Austwell, have created a wonderful program to save dogs, cats and any other abandoned and abused animals.
This is great; however, it does require funds to operate and feed these poor animals.
Right now there is only an outdoor shelter with a few pens to accommodate animals given/rescue unto their loving care and generosity.
When cold, bad weather comes to us, they will need a building shelter of some kind.
This will necessitate those of you who care about animals left to their own demise, to donate money to a fund for whatever the rescue mission needs.
I would hope the governing bodies of the towns of Refugio, Woodsboro, Bayside, Austwell and Tivoli, as well as the Refugio County Commissioners Court would assist in some degree.
Abandoned and mistreated animals are a community problem.
If you love and care for your dog or cat, think about those who get nothing.
Help where help is needed. Contact Melanie Wright at 361-827-3732 and donate to this great cause.

text: My DD is now 23.5 weeks old and my mom is our full time babysitter. EVERY TIME she wants to do something outside of her house w/ my DD I get a lecture about how convenient it would be to use formula and how she doesn't know what to do if my DD gets hungry while they are out. I feel like she's waiting for me to give the ok for her to use formula when absolutely necessary but I'm not going to. How can I make things easier for my mom and get her to stop making comments? I tell her to make sure she is fed before they leave the house but I get the feeling like this messes with her schedule too much and that it irritates her. My mom is otherwise supportive of BF.

- Cerebello-Oculocutaneous Telangiectasia
- Immunodeficiency with Ataxia Telangiectasia
- Louis-Bar Syndrome
General Discussion
Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a complex genetic neurodegenerative disorder that may become apparent during infancy or early childhood. The disorder is characterized by progressively impaired coordination of voluntary movements (ataxia), the development of reddish lesions of the skin and mucous membranes due to permanent widening of groups of blood vessels (telangiectasia), and impaired functioning of the immune system (i.e., cellular and humoral immunodeficiency), resulting in increased susceptibility to upper and lower respiratory infections (sinopulmonary infections). Individuals with AT also have an increased risk of developing certain malignancies, particularly of the lymphatic system (lymphomas), the blood-forming organs (e.g., leukemia), and the brain.
In those with AT, progressive ataxia typically develops during infancy and may initially be characterized by abnormal swaying of the head and trunk. As the disease progresses, the condition leads to an inability to walk (ambulation) by late childhood or adolescence. Ataxia is often accompanied by difficulty speaking (dysarthria), drooling; and an impaired ability to coordinate certain eye movements (oculomotor apraxia), including the occurrence of involuntary, rapid, rhythmic motions (oscillations) of the eyes while attempting to focus upon certain objects (fixation nystagmus). Affected children may also develop an unusually stooped posture and irregular, rapid, jerky movements that may occur in association with relatively slow, writhing motions (choreoathetosis). In addition, telangiectasias may develop by mid-childhood, often appearing on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the bridge of the nose, the ears, and certain regions of the extremities, as well as the mucous membranes of the eyes (conjunctiva).
AT is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The disorder is caused by changes (mutations) of a gene known as ATM (for "AT mutated") that has been mapped to the long arm (q) of chromosome 11 (11q22.3). The ATM gene controls (encodes for) the production of an enzyme that plays a role in regulating cell division following DNA damage.

text: OK, so we started feeding our 6 month old solids. I thought it would be "fun," but it's turned out to be more work than I imagined. Several sources I've read claim that at 6 months you must introduce solids because your breastmilk no longer produces the amount of iron that your baby needs. So far, (on a good day) my LO will eat bananas, sweet potatoes, pears, or carrots--none of which contain ANY iron. So, my question is... is the need for iron thing a load of crap, or do I need to be feeding her something different in the way of solids?

Reviews of this property
We enjoyed our stay at Coachman's Cottage in a lovely, beautifully appointed room. It was a welcome refuge after our busy days exploring the Manchester and Liverpool areas. Manon is a warm and caring person and was able to recommend a number of places to visit that we enjoyed. The only negative was the lack of a door on the shower/toilet room. There are some things that we would rather not share. However the positives outweighed this negative and we would highly recommend Coachman's Cottage.
Dear Manon and Paul,
You're both great people and fantastic hosts. Your Cottage is beautiful and we feel like home.
The breakfast in the morning was incredible! We will never again eat such a good English breakfast.
Also we slept awesome and love the bedsheet. :)
We love to come back and hope to see you soon again.
Best Regards Sonja, Dennis, Max
