"Viable bacteria present within oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue" (S.J. Hooper, S.J. Crean, M.A.O. Lewis, D.A. Spratt, W.G. Wade, M.J. Wilson. 2006. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 44. 5: 1719-1725.) For the first time, viable bacteria have been detected in oral cancer tissue say researchers from the United Kingdom. In the study, twenty deep-tissue samples were collected from patients undergoing surgery for oral cancer. The specimens were harvested from deep within the tumor mass using a fresh blade for each cut. Superficial portions and nontumorous samples were also collected as control specimens and surface contamination was maintained using Betadine and phosphate-buffered saline. Results showed a diverse group of bacteria, including several potentially novel species, of which some were isolated only from either the tumorous or nontumorous tissue.
"Effect of conventional and organic production practices on the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp. in poultry" (T. Luangtongkum, T.Y. Morishita, A.J. Ison, S. Huang, P.F. McDermott, Q. Zhang. 2006. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 72. 5: 3600-3607.) The use of conventional versus organic production practices can significantly affect the prevalence of antibiotic resistant to bacteria in poultry say researchers from Maryland and Ohio. In the study, researchers compared Campylobacter from the intestinal tracts of broilers and turkeys from conventional farms where antibiotics were routinely used and organic farms where antibiotics had never been used. A total of 694 Campylobacter isolates were tested for resistance to nine antibiotic agents. Researchers found that although Campylobacter species were dominant in both poultry operations, there was a significant difference in antibiotic resistance with a rate of less than 2% from organically raised poultry and 46 to 67% resistance from conventionally raised broilers and turkeys.

Police promise enhanced road patrolsStaff Report | August 16,2014Through Labor Day weekend, law enforcement agencies throughout Vermont will be participating in an intensive cooperative enforcement effort to reduce impaired driving as part of the national, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.
The work of police departments in Vermont is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In addition to the patrols conducted by municipal police departments, sheriff departments, constables and the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, the Vermont State Polices Combined Accident Reduction Effort, or CARE program, will be out on Vermonts highways and streets watching for impaired drivers or others who might present a danger to themselves, their passengers or others on the road.
Many law enforcement officers in Vermont have received specialized training from the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement, or ARIDE program.
Not all impaired drivers have been drinking alcohol and some police officers have received extensive training to be certified nationally as drug recognition experts. These officers will be part of the teams in many areas of Vermont during what police are calling a high visibility enforcement campaign.
In Vermont, nearly half of the crashes which result in serious injury or death involve impaired drivers.
This year, 26 people have lost their lives on Vermont highways. Many more people sustained life-changing serious injuries as a result of impaired drivers.
Police point out that the danger presented by impaired drivers is not only to others but to themselves.
The police will be using data gathered about crashes and impaired drivers to choose high risk locations, times and dates for sobriety and safety checkpoints.
However, drivers should expect patrols and checkpoints to be conducted during the day and night.
Thomas Fields, a liaison between the Governors Highway Safety Program and law enforcement, made an appeal to those who will be driving on Vermont roads during the last few weeks of the summer.
There is no good reason to drive if you are impaired to any degree. You, your family and others on the roadways can be a victim because of poor choices of a few, he said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

We're building for the championship this year. Moves are great!
"Backup forward Steve Novak was waived by the Spurs on Monday, shortly before the teams scrimmage at the AT&T Center.
Novak had been signed to a contract on Thursday. He played on the team for 23 games last season, averaging 4.0 points in 8.6 minutes per game.
His departure comes on the heels of Antonio McDyess retirement earlier this season.
Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Novak likely is headed to New York with a guaranteed contract."
I like it. Gives Jorts and Jerome more time to mature, and Novak can really stroke the three. Will get the vet min, so we can still use the mini-MLE on Stevenson, Redd or Posey. Sign me up.

I Miss You Pat.
We're building for the championship this year. Moves are great!
I hope we can get Posey but Novak would be nice to come off the bench and hit some 3's.
I like the idea of management.
Drafting Shumpert, signing Tyson Chandler, Baron Davis, and now Novak....good moves that address needs.
With Novak our bench won't be solid but it will be better since our style fits his game perfectly. Jack up those 3's Novak!
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Jeffries and Balkman can play defense. We are in desperate need for a stretch 3/4 that can hit the outside shot. Shawne Williams would have filled this need. I guess Novak will cover the offensive part of that if Posey isn't signed.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Novak will definitely only get the Vets Minimum. They are still going to use the Mini-MLE, since Novak is a scoring big man. (One can hope)
I think they will go for a defensive minded swingman in Stevenson. He knows Chandler, brings a goon element, and can bring some solid defense with Shumpert and Douglas.
Also he can play either SF or SG. I think its a no brainer. Also if Balkman has another great game I would trade him while his stock is high. 2nd round pick possibly?
Poster formerly known as LJ4President
I Miss You Pat.
We can only sign ONE additional player, our roster is already up to 14 guys.
We need a forward.
Right now our backup PF is Jared Jeffries...we can't have that come playoff time.
We need Posey for the 2.5 mil. Or some other forward.
If we get Stevenson then your almost guaranteeing Douglas and/or Fields gets traded. It would be a log jam of guards.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
stevenovak20: Next stop... NY!
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] plan to sign three-point specialist [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to a one-year deal, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Novak, a 6-foot-11 forward, does have to pass through waivers unclaimed. The Knicks would guarantee Novak a league minimum contract for the 2011-12 season.
Brought into [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] camp late last week, the Spurs released Novak and placed him on waivers Monday night.
Novak played 23 games for the Spurs in the 2010-11 season, and has 225 career appearances with the Spurs, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Out of his 720 career field-goal attempts, 513 are from behind the three-point line. Hes shooting a career .417 on his three pointers.
It wouldn't be a smack in the face as it makes no difference to the player how much their new team signs them for. Whatever the new team pays the player is deducted from the salary that their previous team is still paying them.
Say X player is owed 15 million. Team A amnesties him. Team B signs him to a 2 million dollar contract. Team A now owes him 13 million of the 15 million.
At the end of the day the amnestied player makes the same amount regardless.
not a bad move considering he could be a good role player and stretch the floor for us I like his corner 3 ability as that will be huge for us. Now really all thats left is Stevenson or Posey and this team will be set for a run.

My LO pretty much breastfeeds off one breast per feed. I've just started pumping after each feed again because I was concerned my supply was decreasing...anyway, so if I pump the breast that she didn't feed off of should I be getting something??
Right now I barely get anything off both breasts...maybe about 1 oz or less...and occaisonally 2-3oz. But do you think I should be able to pump something off the breast she didn't eat from??
Breastfeeding is so confusing!

"Envy is ignorance." "Imitation is suicide." "Trust thyself." "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
These and other nuggets of transcendental wisdom were first published in "Self-Reliance", the prime text of Ralph Waldo Emerson's considerable contribution to American thought. "Self-Reliance" is an essay composed from lecture notes and is thus perfectly suited to Peter Johnson's authoritative and confident audiobook performance.
Espousing a personal philosophy of optimism and an unwillingness to follow the herd, Emerson's essay strongly influenced ideas as varied as Thoreau's civil disobedience, Emily Dickinson's poetry, and arguably any American act of political opposition through individual expression, such as punk music, gun ownership, and attempts to further separate church and state. The shadow of "Self-Reliance" is long.
(P)1988 Recorded Books, Inc.
I wrote a review for this title when I was in college. The audible preview plays the Richard Wulf version, but when you actually download the file, Audible gives you the Peter Johnson reading which totally sucks. It's awful. I've contacted Audible several times to restore the Richard Wulf version and they don't do anything. Lately, they don't even respond to my emails, but that's another story, I guess.
If you can find the Richard Wulf version, I recommend it. His reading is sensitive to the content. All of his pauses and inflections help with comprehending Emerson's sometimes lengthy sentences. The Peter Johnson reading version sounds like a robot and is more of a barrier than a help.
"Pure Goodness."
I bought this audiobook for my Early American Lit class. I listened to it while walking to and from campus. Richard Wulf's reading is really great. I wish he recorded more essays by Emerson. I've gone back and listened to this audiobook 6 times in the last month just for sheer enjoyment. I highly recommend it. It's inspiring, thought provoking and delivered with class.
"Content good, sound quality & presentation poor"
Everyone should read Self Reliance - it is a classic that is relevant today. But the sound quality of this recording is poor. Furthermore, this is an essay that provokes thought and it is poorly suited for listening to in the car.
"Actionable For Anyone Seeking Belief In Self"
Self-Reliance is an age old staple book for anyone making their own way in the world. This book is great for anyone starting out in the corporate world or venturing into their own entrepreneurial experience. There is no better.
This is one of Emerson's best works in my opinion because it is universally applicable and the information is immediately actionable.
Johnson is terrific in this piece. I have not listened to his work before. He is well suited to this content.
"You can do it"
Get this book to anyone that you know that is in the process of making their own way in life. I think that this book should be required reading before anyone can graduate high school in the United States and again as required reading in all degree programs.
"Great Book, Terrible Narration"
I was really excited to listen to this because Self Reliance is one of my favorite books. However, I could not listen to the entire thing, because the narration was terrible. Listen for yourself to the sample.
I love reading widely
I keep listening to this over and over. It's so rich and inspiring. A lot is packed into this short book. I highly recommend it to everyone.
"Robot Reads"
Be sure to preview your purchase before you buy!!! I made the mistake of not listening and this recording is nothing but a computer generated recording.
Book maven
"Key to individualism"
To be self reliant is to be dependent on ones self. To know yourself and be a real authentic individual. One has to be an individual before he or she can be part of a working society that functions well.
"Okay, just not great."
Oh, yes. I would surely read more from Emerson. I can appreciate his no nonsense approach with his subject-matter and writing.
While I wasn't too impressed with the story, many others in the world are. So, I wouldn't change anything about it so as to leave it as is for those who more fully appreciate the story. It's like me saying let's move the nose on the Mona Lisa a little more to the left. It is what it is and I'm not going to touch it.
There was nothing significant one way or the other with the performance. I guess I would say the narrator's subtle and simple approach, nothing over the top.
It motivated me to continue with my personal belief system that we are all responsible for ourselves in this world. Other than God's hand on my life, I am responsible for taking care of me. Some may call me selfish, but the reality of the real world is I cannot not rely on others to provide or care for me.
This short read/listen is a collection of thoughts published by the author. It it urges readers to trust your gut feeling, rather than follow the herd. It was a difficult listen because of it's English construction dates from it's birth in 1841;also, it seemed like a stream of consciousness.
Report Inappropriate Content
If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. This report will be reviewed by Audible and we will take appropriate action.

A'hoy Mate….Arrrrr Rockies Not So Great
7/27/10 Pirates vs Rockies Game One
The Rockies need to forget the disasterous road trip that just occured. The rest of the regular season starts today and we're not out of it by any means. There was a time not so long ago that it didn't bother me when the Rockies were down a few runs because I knew magic was gonna happen.
The magic may have fizzled a bit but you fix that by starting out with the easy card tricks and working your way back up to cutting someone in half.
Baby steps may be small but at least you're going forward.
I managed to catch one ball during batting practice today. Dan was telling me that they asked him at the last Rockies home game if he wanted to do the Quest trivia challenge. Dan asked if they would let Randy answer the questions instead and they did.
Randy got all the questions right and won a little HD video recorder which he then gave to Emily. Dan brought it to the game today and he managed to get video of my catch and a near catch.
Check out Dan's videos..Here's where I was robbed by D.J. Carrasco :)
I think the reason he put so much effort into that catch is earlier I did this.
Here's the video I created for this game.
Here are a few pictures that didn't make the video.
There were cowboys and indians everywhere, I have no idea why.
Here's the Rockpile Cowboy. You've gotta love those fuzzy chaps.
Losing to the Pirates at home isn't good. Rockies if I haven't given up you can't either.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on. I will never give up, but nights like tonight – losing at HOME to the freaking PIRATES?? – make me want to throw my laptop through the plasma. GAH!! (And by the way, I saw you cheering that disgusting loss, LOL) We'll be there tomorrow, hopefully for bp. Sigh . . .
D — as usual, good seein' you and Robert before and after the game🙂 Throws for Alannah and I at BP from Manny and Ubaldo — love it. Also, glad one of "us" snagged that Barmes homer (yeah, Robert!).
Sorry we couldn't make that post-game beer. Mebbe when I get back from my road trippin'.
Hey D,
What's happened to our team? They're playing like they don't care anymore and it's breaking my heart. I still luv them and always will, just wish I knew what was going on.
Great pics. Print your Press Pass, it would probably fool most of the ushers and rent-a-cops.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Good to see you at the game on Thursday. Nice snaggin' during BP. How do you get a ticket to go down to the front row during BP?
Nice pictures of TULOS! Ha
Two game winning streak. I changed my user name from tripletrox to rocktober_93.

Your Rockies are breaking your heart like my Dodgers are. When will the bleeding stop!? Our starters have done well but our bully has gone to the pits and the hitting has been so anemic. Will the Padres ever go on a slump?

Marylin Lytle Barr died peacefully in her home on June 13, 2012. Born on August 11, 1920 in Boston, she lived through, contributed to, and exemplified a century of extraordinary change. A "war bride" in 1942, she raised three children before earning a Masters Degree in sociology and beginning a quarter-century of teaching in New York City's Head Start program. In "retirement," she embraced the opportunity to devote more of her time to writing and publishing poetry, and to creating the watercolor paintings that she often integrated into her poetry readings. A member of the Grahamsville Alchemy Club and the Greater Haverhill Poetry Society in Massachusetts, she was active in the Claryville Quilting Club and the Grahamsville Historical Society where her extensive research reclaimed the history of the 1856 home where she live with her husband for the last quarter of her life.
She was predeceased by her husband, the Rev. O. Sydney Barr, in 2000; five brothers and sisters, and one nephew. She leaves her daughters: Margaret Hoover and her husband, John, of Pennsylvania; Joyce Barr of Maine; and Mark Barr and wife, Colleen Berge, of New York City; five grandchildren and five great grand children; one sister in law Doris Lytle of Ohio; 12 nieces and nephews, and grand nieces and nephews.
A Memorial Service will be held on August 11 at 11:00 AM at St. John's Memorial Episcopal Church, 40 Market St., Ellenville, NY 12428 (turn off Route 209 onto Essex St. and go one block to church). In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Daniel Pierce Library, PO Box 268, Grahamsville, NY 12740, or to St. Andrew's Mission (the Episcopal church in So. Fallsburg, NY, which she also attended), c/o Cynthia Johnston, PO Box 55, Woodbourne, NY 12788.

If you enter your Windows password incorrectly several times when enrolling a smartcard device with Client Security Solution, the smartcard enrollment process might terminate without prompting you to re-enter your Windows password.
Enter the correct Windows password when attempting to enroll a smartcard device. If the password entry prompt closes unexpectedly, restart the smartcard enrollment process and enter the correct Windows password when prompted.
CMVC Defect #: 389086
The smartcard enrollment process will enroll any certificate it finds on a device. The enrollment process does not check whether a certificate is valid or not. However, if the certificate is expired and you enroll it with Client Security Solution, you might not be able to use the certificate to authenticate with Client Security Solution.
Ensure that your certificate is valid prior to enrolling your smartcard device with Client Security Solution. Contact your smartcard administrator for more information about certificates.
CMVC Defect #: 389373
Client Security solution will prompt you to insert your smartcard device and enter your smartcard PIN to authenticate. If an incorrect PIN is entered too many times, the smartcard device will be locked and Client Security Solution will display an error message. Once the smartcard is locked, entering the correct PIN will not enable you to authenticate the device. Further attempts to authenticate will result in an "Invalid PIN" error message.

As the dimensions of the recession of 2008-2009 were becoming evident, some employees in Old Main watched admission numbers; others were monitoring and managing key financial numbers: operating cash, operating expenditures and the declining value of the endowment. The careful work and guidance of the institution's business affairs staff during 2008-2009 positioned the College to weather the economic storm that dramatically increased the need for student financial aid, for a time eroded the endowment by one-third and put the credit market in a stranglehold.
"Last October, the Board of Trustees made some important decisions—to 'stay the course' with our investment portfolio in light of the market downturn, and to not draw down cash from the endowment, which would normally have supplied about $3 million during the fiscal year," explains Beth Laken, assistant vice president for finance/comptroller. "Needless to say, it made our year very challenging."
At the same time, construction was underway on the Residence Hall/Recreation Center, which required major outflows of cash. While the residence hall portion was funded by bonds, the track/recreation center depends on donor gifts for funding.
Poised to also impact the College's 2009-2010 budget was a reduction in the Monetary Award Program (MAP) by the Illinois General Assembly. State aid to 600 North Central students was to be cut from $3 million to $1.5 million, presenting another gap to fill by summer. (Fortunately, state MAP funding has been restored for 2009-2010.)
To manage the cash shortfall in 2008-2009, the first step was to reduce expenses throughout the organization while avoiding layoffs and hiring freezes. "All vice presidents were asked to trim expenses and identify cost savings in their areas," Laken continues. "We also tapped into contingency funds and at times our lines of credit, the first time since 1981. Cash flow was—and continues to be—monitored very closely."
She emphasized that all endowed scholarships were awarded to students by using accumulated earnings and other College operating funds.
At its February low point, North Central's endowment was down 34 percent from a high of $79.4 million in June 2008. By the end of the fiscal year, the endowment rebounded to $71.3 million, with the help of an upswing in the financial markets, the infusion of nearly $5 million from the Schneller Sisters estate and the strategic decisions of the Board of Trustees. The $3 million not drawn from the endowment was worth more than $4 million by fiscal year end.
North Central remains among the most fiscally healthy private colleges in the Midwest. The operating budget was again balanced for the 38th consecutive time and the College received a clean audit report. "The accounting team members deserve praise for their extra efforts and hours in the most challenging of audit years," adds Laken. The team includes Pat Perkins, assistant comptroller; Jen Baur '05, senior accountant; Nick Scumaci '06, accountant; and Jessica Elliot, accounting analyst.

- Jack Mundey: the social responsibility of labour
- Author(s)
- Leach, Michael
- Abstract
- This paper examines Jack Mundey - trade unionist, environmentalist and urban activist - as a cosmopolitan political activist. Several important cosmopolitan themes emerge from Mundey's long history of political and environmental activism. Mundey and the NSW BLF in the 1960s and 1970s spoke of the 'social responsibility of labour'; the idea that industrial struggles should be linked to ecological sustainability, and to the broader arena of international political movements. Fundamental to this core philosophy was Mundey's view that all economic classes and social strata in Western societies share interests in an ecologically sustainable future, particularly in the context of rapid global urbanisation. Other cosmopolitan themes evident in Mundey's activism include the role of the union movement as a ''social conscience'' in the protection of both the natural and built environment; a critique of ''growthmania'' in both capitalist and eastern-bloc socialist societies; and trade union support for other progressive social and political movements. Building upon these core ideas, Mundey expressed wider concerns for the preservation of cultural heritage, and for an inclusive, participatory form of democracy capable of connecting local actions with global problems. More recently, interviews with Mundey reveal a commitment to supporting 'anti-globalisation' campaigns without reverting to simple protectionist or 'closed door' nationalist solutions. This paper argues that the political ideas and alliances Mundey advocated may be seen as important expressions of universalist civic and ecological concerns within an Australian context.

Feras Altwal
Catalyst for Change
Last April, Feras Altwal, MS '14 was part of a team that supported the first trachea transplant in the United States — on 2-year-old Hannah Warren. "I had previously spent three years in Jordan assisting with around 300 stem cell surgeries for numerous diseases," he noted. "However, this surgery completely stands out from all the rest, both in terms of work experience and the emotional aspect."
A 2009 graduate of Philadelphia University in Amman, Jordan, Altwal moved to the U.S. in April 2012, after Dr. Mark Holterman recruited him to assist with stem cell research and clinical trials, specifically Warren's case. Three months later, he met Dr. Craig Cady, associate professor of biology, during discussions about collaborating on the procedure. Cady then suggested he pursue a master's in biology at Bradley.
"Working in Dr. Cady's lab incredibly facilitated the process and prepared me even more for the work I did during the surgery," Altwal explained.
While he had been helping with preparations for nearly a year, he also participated directly in the operation. In addition to transporting and evaluating samples from the bioartificial trachea prior to the surgery, he "collected blood samples from Hannah every other day for three weeks after the procedure for further confirmatory testing."
Altwal plans to enroll in a doctoral program next fall, a goal he attributes to Warren: "Hannah motivated all those involved to have high hopes and remain positive through any encountered obstacles. It is because of the lasting impact this surgery made on me that I became certain of my will to incorporate clinical work in my future career."

Sports: South Lewis Getting Ready For '13 Baseball Season
The South Lewis Falcons had a stellar baseball season in 2012.
The team led the Frontier League with a 14-2 record and took the SEction 3 Class C crown before losing in the first round of state competition.
2013's version of the Falcons is different: five seniors - including two "impact players," as coach Chad Brown puts it - graduated.
But Brown has been busy: "We have younger kids who have stepped up and taken that role over. They're doing a wonderful job, working hard every day."

Father's Day is coming up. And while most fathers are great role models, there are some you should be glad to have never had to call Dad. Here's a list of just some of the few worst fathers in history:
Byron Keith Perkins -- Temporarily let out of prison in January 2006 to donate a kidney to his ailing son, Perkins instead took off for Mexico with his girlfriend. He wasn't arrested until more than a year later in Puerto Vallarta.
Constantine the Great -- For reasons that remain unclear, this Roman emperor ordered the execution of his son, Crispus, in 326 A.D. and erased his name from official records. Monuments to Crispus were also destroyed.
Bruce McMahan -- This Florida multimillionaire loved his daughter so much, he married her. Yes, that's right. The pair secretly exchanged vows in 2004 even though McMahan was still married to his fifth wife and his daughter, Linda Schutt, lived with her husband in Mississippi. They, too, are now divorced.
Johnny Eric Marlowe -- Already convicted of child neglect and assaulting his wife, this North Carolina man was charged with child abuse for circumsizing two of his infant sons with a household utility knife in 2005 and 2006.
Ivan the Terrible -- In 1581, this Russian tsar beat his pregnant daughter-in-law as punishment for wearing revealing clothing, causing her to miscarry. His son, also named Ivan, agrily confronted him and was struck on the head with Ivan the Terrible's scepter. The younger Ivan died a few days later.
Josef Fritzl -- He's currently serving life prison sentence for keeping his daughter Elisabeth in a cellar beneath the family home in Austria for 24 years. He repeatedly raped her and forced to bear seven of his children, three of whom she raised in the dungeon while three were taken upstairs to live "normal" lives. Elisabeth's plight was only uncovered in 2008 after she slipped a note in her daughter's pocket when the girl went for treatment at a local hospital.
Herod the Great -- An ambitious but cruel and paranoid king of Judea, he infamously ordered the executions of several family members, including his second wife and three of his sons.
Marvin Gaye Sr. -- A day before his 45th birthday in 1984, soul music legend Marvin Gaye was shot dead by his father, Martin Gaye Sr., after intervening in an argument between his parents. Marvin Gaye Sr. said he shot his son because he feared for his life after his son struck him during the argument. He ultimately pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge and received a six-year suspended sentence and five years probation.
Michael Jackson -- Accused several times in his career of molesting children, Jackson's parenting skills were most famously questioned when he dangled his infant son Blanket over a balcony before screaming fans in Germany in 2002. Some called for his arrest on child endangerment charges.
Peter the Great -- Not known for his warm parenting style, this Russian tsar famously contributed to the death of his first-born son, Alexei, who had been convicted of conspiring to kill his father despite a lack of evidence. Before his planned execution, Alexei died from wounds sustained during a torture session in his prison cell.
Ryan O'Neal -- He's most remembered for firing a gentlemanly "warning shot" during an argument with his son, Griffin, in 2007. But O'Neal is also said to have put daughter Tatum on a cocaine diet to help her lose weight and told her "You cut the wrong way" after her failed suicide attempt.
Shawn Kemp -- Best known for his NBA stint in Seattle, The Reign Man also bore seven children with six different women, and there are rumored to be many more. He's also been the subject of several paternity-related lawsuits.
Thomas Boleyn -- He is said to have pressured his daughter, Anne, to marry King Henry VIII, even though the king was already married at the time. Three years after the controversial marriage, Anne fell out of favor with the king and was beheaded on charges of high treason. Her brother, George, suffered the same fate. Thomas, meanwhile, is said to have done nothing to protect them.
Woody Allen -- In 1992, he admitted to being romantically involved with Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, Allen's longtime companion. Farrow discovered the affair when she found nude pictures of her daughter in Allen's apartment.

Herb Rubbed Turkey Au Jus
Serves 10
For the rub
o 2 teaspoons dried sage
o 1 tablespoon dried thyme
o 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
o 1 whole turkey (about 15 pounds), thawed
o 1 tablespoon olive oil
o 1/2 cup water
For the au jus
o 2 teaspoons dried sage
o 1 tablespoon dried thyme
o 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
o 2 tablespoons honey
o 1/2 cup apple juice
o 1 cup defatted pan drippings
'); //-->
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme and parsley to make the rub. Mix well and set aside.
Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey and discard. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cool water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Starting at the neck area, insert fingers or a spoon between the layer of skin and meat to gently loosen the skin. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Add about 1 tablespoon of the herb mixture under the skin of each breast. Rub the outside of the turkey with the olive oil. Rub the remaining herb mixture over the outside of the bird.
Loosely tie the legs together. Place into the middle of the oven.
After about 1 1/2 hours, cover the turkey with a tent of foil to prevent overcooking. Check the doneness after the bird has roasted about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. The turkey is done when the thigh is pierced deeply and juices run clear (180 to 185 F) or when the breast muscle reaches 170 to 175 F.

August 24, 2000: Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have carried out the most complete inventory to date of brown dwarfs, one of the universe's most elusive types of objects, which dwell in limbo between stars and planets. The Hubble census provides new and compelling evidence that stars and planets form in different ways. Because the brown dwarfs "bridge the gap" between stars and planets, their properties reveal new and unique insights into how stars and planets form.See the rest:
Considered an astronomical oddity only a few years ago, brown dwarfs are intriguing objects that, unlike stars, are too low in mass to burn hydrogen, but are more massive than planets. At 15 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter, the light they do emit is so faint that it has been hard to tell how many of them are scattered throughout the galaxy, and whether their formation process is similar to that of stars, planets, or neither of these. Only a few years ago astronomers commonly believed that brown dwarfs are rare, perhaps because the process that makes stars "stops working" at lower masses. The Hubble results provide evidence that this isn't the case.
The Hubble finding shows stars and brown dwarfs form in the same way. Like stars, low-mass brown dwarfs are more plentiful than heavyweights. This trend continues down to very low, almost planetary masses. The Hubble results also offer the strongest evidence to date that brown dwarfs are a completely different population from the recently discovered planets that orbit nearby stars. The census showed that brown dwarfs are, remarkably, far more common in isolation than in orbit around other stars. This finding suggests that the planets, whether in our solar system or beyond, formed very differently than the Sun and other stars. These results support the idea that stars form through the gravitational collapse of cold, dense clouds of gas, whereas planets grow through the buildup of tiny particles of stardust.

Hi. My daughter is five days old and I have an oversupply issue that is impacting our ability to form a strong nursing relationship. It started day 2.
We had a natural home birth.
I have had this problem with my previous children as well and it always results in breast infections, fevers, green and gassy poops and other struggles.
I'm wondering if anyone here can help me.
My breasts seem to immediately produce about 10 ounce on each side within just 48 hours after delivery. I only have the baby nursing on one side per every three to four hours. I only pump to relieve enough tension to be able to function.
My breasts are so full that raising my arms is very painful and it is very hard to get my baby latched because my nipples are so stretched out and flat.
I've gotten advice ranging from pump it all completely out and start fresh -- to don't pump at all and it will resolve in 12 hours. (THAT didn't work.)
I've looked into herbal remedies to cut milk supply but have been told by experts not to try these because they might cut my supply too much. And that is the last thing I want to do.
What should I do?!

A few years after FiiO introduced their unique, feature-packed E7 portable headphone amplifier and USB sound card, they revamped the concept, resulting in the freshly hatched E17.
A lot of tech is packed into the fancy brushed metal housing with the familiar two-color OLED display. Inputs and outputs certainly are on the more versatile side of things: two parallel 3.5mm headphone outputs, an S/PDIF input (presumably both optical and coaxial), a line input, FiiO's proprietary 18-pin port (working with their L7 dock and E9 desktop amp), and of course a standard USB input. The E17 supports 24/96 over USB and 24/192 over S/PDIF, so audiophile dogs and bats won't complain about lacking treble.
Several sound adjustments can be done in the E17′s firmware: bass, treble, gain level, and – sometimes miracles do happen – pan/balance. It seems FiiO did read our E7 review, and the included rant about audio balance missing on almost all portable devices nowadays. I, for one, am very grateful that they added this basic – yet for some people very important – feature.
The E17 should go for about $150, which definitely is a fair price, considering all the included features and the nifty metal housing.

"Showdown Sunday" has come and gone, and I managed an almost respectable 3-3 on my predictions. I'm supposed to tell you that I know more about the league and the season after yesterday's games, but let's be honest…there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for some of these teams to destroy their opponents or shit the bed. Case and point, the Seattle Seahawks have scored fifty points in back to back games. If you would have told me that was going to happen a few months ago, I might have had you committed. I'm just a man writing about the stuff I saw on the TV.
The blowout/comeback/"just kidding we got this" game
Coming into Sunday night's game in Foxboro, the Patriots were at the top of almost everyone's power rankings. Which, given the nature of this league, of course meant that they'd be losing 31-3 at home a few minutes into the third quarter. Continue reading

The Safety of the Volunteer
The Safety of the Volunteer is an annual report published by the Crime Statistics and Analysis Unit of the Peace Corps Office of Safety and Security.
- The most current report is The Safety of the Volunteer 2009
- You can also view health care and safety by country, and also
- Office of Inspector General's Final Program Evaluation Report: Volunteer Safety and Security
The mission of the Office of Safety and Security is to foster improved communication, coordination, oversight, and accountability for all of the Peace Corps' safety and security efforts. One of the responsibilities of the Office of Safety and Security is to track all crime events against Volunteers. The Safety of the Volunteer provides summary statistics for the previous calendar year. It also provides information on trends over the previous 10 years within the three Peace Corps regions: the Africa region; the Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia (EMA) region; and the Inter-America and the Pacific (IAP) region.
The two-fold objective of this publication is to:
- Identify and analyze trends in safety and security conditions among Volunteers; and
- Provide useful observations regarding trends in an effort to maximize the security of Volunteers and staff.
Data Source
The data used to prepare this report comes from the Crime Incident Reporting Form (CIRF). In 2006, the CIRF replaced the Assault Notification and Surveillance System (ANSS), in use since 1990, and the property crimes sections of the Epidemiologic Surveillance System (ESS), in use since 1993. Both systems were utilized and managed by the Office of Medical Services (OMS) to capture reports of Volunteer safety incidents. They were both manual reporting systems that required posts to complete incident reports and fax them to OMS for database entry.
The CIRF was developed to transition the crime reporting system from this paper-based system to a more efficient software solution. The CIRF was implemented at the beginning of 2006 as a temporary electronic solution that would begin to streamline and automate the agency's crime incident reporting process until a more state-of-theart application was completed. The new reporting system, a Smart Client application built upon web services, is due to be released in early 2008.
When a crime is reported to post by a Volunteer, the information is collected by the Peace Corps country director (CD) or other staff designated by the CD and is electronically submitted to headquarters via the CIRF application. With the advent of the CIRF, the more severe incidents are also categorized as "violent crimes" and the less severe ones as "non-violent crimes." Incidents labeled as "violent crimes" require notification to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigative unit within the first 24 hours. The CIRF collects information on the following incidents:
- Four types of sexual assault (rape, attempted rape, major sexual assault, and other sexual assault);
- Six types of physical assault (kidnapping, aggravated assault, major physical assault, death threat, intimidation, and other physical assault);
- Five types of property crime (robbery, burglary with Volunteer present, burglary without Volunteer present, theft, and vandalism);
- Five types of death (homicide, suicide, accidental, illness, and indeterminate cause); and
- The category of unknown, which captures events that do not meet the definitions of the reported incident categories.

So Emma, will you be using those stamps, or is it safe to assume that they will become a part of your baseball collection?
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I love it when they have commemoritive stamps done by someone other than the official postal service stamp people, whoever they are..
They will be put away along with my Jackie Robinson's stamps although I might use one to send it to myself!
I love commemorative stamps too Peter. I should put all my baseball samps together. I know…I should have done that from the start. One of my many faults is not being organized.
Keep those stamps safe. Thanks for sharing. I always get an inside look at something on your blog. Guess that's why I keep comin' back🙂
I was reading that and I was excited to share it. I get excited easily😉. I am going to sent Emilio Navarro a birthday card. I had one in my hand to buy but the line was too long so I'll stop tonight and get one.
I love those stamps and I'd keep them as commemoratives instead of using them on letters. They're very special! You must have quite a collection of memorabilia in your house, Emma. I can only imagine…
Yes, I have a few commemorative stamps. I should start going thru Dodgers and Baseball memorabilia that I have and get rid of duplicates. I am thinking of donating a wool jersey that I got at an auction and is has been sitting in a drawer.
Hey Emma!
I always LOVE your stories and photos! They are just great! 🙂
Hey, just wanted to let you know some great news! My company, CP Bookkeeping, just got it's first client last night!!! Yeah!!!
Glad you like my photos and stories. Did you see the pictures from the ITD tour?
That is great news that you got your first client!!!!! Congratulations!
Gorgeous stamps! I'd be saving them too. And I will never forget Peanut.
Hey Mike, I'll let you know if I hear from Emilio Navarro. I doubt it but is still good to be able to send him a birthday card.

I once watched an interview with actor Morgan Freeman on 60 Minutes, who described Black History Month as "ridiculous."
He elaborated as such: "You're going to relegate my history to a month? Which month is life history month? Come on, tell me."
The interviewer replied, "I'm Jewish."
Without missing a beat, Freeman said, "And which month is Jewish history month?"
"There isn't one."
After a bit more back and forth, Freeman said, "I don't want a Black History month. Black history is American history." In order to get rid of racism, he said we should stop talking about it. Freeman said that we should stop distinguishing each other in groups according to ethnicity and skin colour.
I found that a unique and yet daringly accurate description of the month. With Thursday celebrations of the annual National Aboriginal Day, it got me thinking of how Freeman's description could apply to that day as well.
June 21 was declared National Aboriginal Day by the federal government in 1996. According to the Canadian government's website, that date was chosen to coincide with the summer solstice.
Aboriginal peoples are an integral part of our culture. They have played their part in shaping the Canada we live in today.
I'm very proud to say that we live in a place where many ethnicities have played their part in creating this culture.
I have absolutely nothing against celebrating that culture. In fact, I'm all for it. I think we should recognize all the different cultures and their roles and customs.
But to delegate only a single day out of 365 to celebrate their culture doesn't seem good enough. Considering the number of centuries they have been here — long before Canada was declared a country — to put all of that into one day is insufficient. They deserve more than a day or a month.
To use Freeman's example, if he were in this position, I suspect he'd ask the question: "Which day is national Caucasian day?" There is no such thing. We live that every day. The same principle should apply to First Nations, Métis and any member of the more than 600 bands across Canada.
It's bad enough that European settlers tried to repress native culture. Adding to that, it took way, way too many years for an apology to be made by the federal government for the horrendous things done through residential schools. That apology wasn't issued until 2008.
There are better ways to recognize their culture than just having a day to learn more. For instance, there could be more cultural dinners, dancers, entertainment, more of their cultures taught in schools and who knows what else for them and for all the other cultures.
That may not be the only solution, but at least then there would be more than one day alone.
I believe the motives behind declaring June 21 National Aboriginal Day are for the right reasons — to have a day to celebrate and recognize native culture. I think that's something we need to do and by all means, we should participate or at least take note of the day.
But we are all Canadians. We are comprised of a multitude of cultures, far too many to name.
I don't think any one of those cultures should be limited to one day for their culture to be recognized. I think we should all strive to celebrate all of those cultures 365 days a year.

After a year or more of switching from one to another, I've finally found my go to putter…the Ion! Manufactured by MVP Disc Sports, LLC in Michigan, this unique disc is where it's at. Even though the Ion is my go to putter, I do keep two others in my bag. I tend to prefer to use my XD for drives and longer tosses from the fairway, while I use my JuJu for high arching shots that need to bend around tree limbs and sit soft. The Ion is primarily used for putts that I'm looking to drain as the high arching floaters from the JuJu are rarely high percentage shots. I'm just trying to give myself a chance, all the while having the disc sit soft enough where I'm going to make the come backer. As great as the XD and JuJu are, when I'm trying to bang one in the back of the chains…out comes the Ion.
The Ion is a straight flying putter with a lot of glide. The over-molded, soft edge is great for the chains to receive the disc, while providing unbelievable comfort in the hands of players of all levels. The main difference between this disc and common disc golf discs is the different materials it is comprised of. MVP Disc Sports, LLC has named this GYRO Technology. It is a dual-polymer concept where the flight plate core is constructed of a lighter plastic than the darker, heavier material that comprises the over-mold edge. Th
e juxtaposition between the materials allows for a "stabilized disc flight that keeps it spinning later in flight to produce straighter, longer and more accurate results," according to the manufacturer's website.
There are multiple selections in firmness of these discs, but the heavier plastic material on the over-mold edge remains the same super soft, grippy egde that is optimal for grabbing the chains, minimizing kick outs. I see this point, but I also tend to use my Ion through twigs and underbrush like I do my significantly heavier Wolf. It has a great glide to it, but I feel the Ion penetrates through the trees like a mid range. Most putters get kicked directly down by twigs, but my Ion just keeps on trucking so I can confidently use it to get back into position or stroke a birdie.
I would suggest this disc to any fellow disc golfer that is looking for a new putter. Maybe it's not for you, but what's the harm in trying? The feel of the disc really works for me. I wouldn't suggest using the disc off the tee or for longer shots, as I don't have as much confidence in it as my XD, but when I get up to the basket, the Ion ups my confidence ten fold. The over-mold edge helps the disc "melt" into the chains like the JuJu, but the stability of the disc is so much better. The Ion comes in several colors and is one of the only disc golf discs that are distributed as blanks. The price tag on a new Ion is right around $14.00 and is worth a shot for any disc golfer looking for a new weapon close to the basket.

- Abstract
- Three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out on particle interactions within the DC plasma spray process. The plasma spray process was modeled as a jet issuing from the torch nozzle by the heating of the arc gas by an electric arc within the nozzle. Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) was injected into the jet with a N2 carrier gas. The plasma was modeled as a continuum compressible fluid with temperature dependent thermodynamic properties. Particles were modeled by the stochastic discrete particle model. Jet turbulence was modeled using the standard k-ε model. The particle performance inside the plasma plume at various standoff distances is reported. The results show that the variation of carrier gas flow rate altered the particle behavior by reduction in plasma temperature and velocity. Also Particle trajectory is changed by the variation of carrier gas flow rate influencing the particle in-flight characteristics. Hence, it would be expected to influence the deposition process.

|Title: Electric Power Transmission and Distribution; Electrical Protective Equipment in the Construction Industry
|Abstract: The annual fatality rate for power line workers is over 50 deaths per 100,000 employees. The construction industry standard addressing the safety of these workers during the construction of electric power transmission and distribution lines is over 20 years old. OSHA is developing a revision of this standard that will prevent many of these fatalities, that will add flexibility to the standard, and that will update and streamline the standard. In addition, OSHA intends to amend the corresponding standard for general industry so that requirements for work performed during maintenance of electric power transmission and distribution installations are the same as those for similar work in construction.

Inspired by Robert Creeley's poems, this livre d'artiste was created by John Altoon soon after the establishment of Gemini Ltd. by Tamarind-trained master printer Ken Tyler. Altoon lived next door to the newly founded workshop at 8221 Melrose Avenue, and Tyler recalled that making the book had been "absolute heaven," since both artist and printer wanted only the other's happiness. Altoon included 10 lithographs to three poems by Creeley ("Anger," "The Woman" and "Distance"), relaying the artist's trademark fluidity of line and application of pastel colors. Indeed, the portfolio reflects the continuation of Altoon's interest in the expressive potential of gestural imagery. Here he draws on the intense emotional range that permeates all relationships, as explored in Creeley's verse.

one for me please.... i promise i will be a good boy
Don't be a HELP VAMPIRE. Please search before you ask.
Subscribe to The Arch Daily News.
......... Setup
What about the theme ?
My Linux Blog - http://TheSmallerBang.wordpress.com/
It's based on "fluid blue".
NOTE: Have had a couple inquiries about this, so I am just posting my response here.
Anything not answered on the forums (in that thread) just hasn't been created yet.
I am currently in the process of moving the archlinux.me domain / database/ and html all to a new server.
Unfortunately, the new hosting company has had a few issues with my new server, and has had to reload the entire os once, and today, they are replacing everything...just moving the hard drive.
Sorry for the holdup, and the lack of communication, I've just been really busy with work and off work, trying to get the new server up and running.........and staying running. Hopefully today will prove to be a good day, and the server wont' crash again. I'm just reluctant to move everything of the development server to the new one until I"m sure it's going to stay up over 24hrs at a time.
Until then, all I can say is be patient, I promise I haven't forgotten this thread, believe me, it's at the top of my priority list, I'm just at the mercy of someone else right now. It will all get worked out soon I hope.
that's great.
i could use this space to write down my arch related content, dotfiles etc.
i'm to lazy to have a personal blog or something, but it should be great venue for tech and arch related stuff.
Hmm, one for me please, I'll feel less lame writing about Arch all the time then
Kudos for the project, Crouse it's yet another nice gesture.
On a side note, I just noticed your avatar says you're from Iowa. Whereabouts? I'm from Des Moines though it's been quite a few years since I lived there.
thayer williams ~ cinderwick.ca
UPDATED THE FIRST POST......... added this:
THEN you MUST do THESE two things for it to be created -- it's simple, I promise.
1. Post your request in this thread.
Why you ask, well, two reasons, the first reason is that I am able to verify very quickly if you have more than 25 posts. The second reason is that I know your read the stuff below here.
2. Send me an email or PM that has your current email address and archlinux.org username.
Why ?? -- I need your email address to enter in the software in order to create your blog account and have it auto email you your password username.
Please don't post your email in this thread, it makes you look stupid, the spam bots will eat you ALIVE....
I finally have things moved to the new server and things are up and running now. WOOT !!
Done......... your email showed up in the email hyperlink on the forum here, so I was able to complete your request without further interaction from you.
Everyone else.......... YOU GOT MAIL
Done, thanks

Hello crouse,
I want to request a blog too.
Email is on the way.
FallenWizard .... setup
Let me know if you did NOT get the autogenerated emails.
@Thayer, I'm in Des Moines
hi crouse,
i want to request a nice blog.
again thanks for the effort ofcourse, just like the @archlinux.us email address
thx for offering this...
I'd like to have one, please
Both done, you should have recieved some email from me, if you did not, please contact me.
Sorry for the delay, was upgrading the software ..... in case anyone noticed
thanks for the blog, happy blogging
Hi crouse!! I already have an @archlinux.us account thanks to you. I would like to have an arch blog to help with some translations on spanish and maybe some eyecandy ;-)
Thanks in advance!!

Hi crouse!! I already have an @archlinux.us account thanks to you. I would like to have an arch blog to help with some translations on spanish and maybe some eyecandy ;-)
Thanks in advance!!
You blog has been seutp, you should receive an email shortly, if you don't let me know.
Just FYI,
Apparently at some time "shortly?" before 8:32 pm (CST) this evening (Monday), archlinux.me went down. The entire server went offline, I have a trouble ticket put in to SevenL (The server host) .... awaiting response.
All fixed. Thanks!
Wasn't down for long and it's a good reminder that people should be backing up their content by exporting it as xml file. I had been a little slack myself so as soon as the site was back up I exported my current posts.
Very good idea........
I put in a request late last night... and I happened to be awake when the system came back online. I had to do a force reinstall of mysql for some reason, I'm still not 100% sure that the hardware we are running on is stable........which sucks, but it happens. We may do some late night testing one of these nights, and the host said they would pull the hard drive and test the rest of the hardware with a different drive in it's place..... we may need to try that, but as mikesd suggested, it's VERY simple to backup your content by exporting it......the systems there for a reason...... use it
Hopefully these hardware issues are resolved and then we won't have to worry about the system, other than how to maximize it's usage Thanks for your patience.

Requirements for accessible trails are evolving and advancing and if you are in parks and recreation, it is time to get familiar with what's to come in the next few years. In this second part of a two-part blog series, accessibility expert John McGovern, J.D., outlines what you need to know about coming requirements.
In the first part of this accessible trails blog series, we explained that currently accessible routes are the only paths with enforceable requirements and that all other types – shared use paths, trails, pedestrian access routes, and outdoor recreation accessible routes – have detailed design guidance, but not yet enforceable standards.
Let's review the important guidelines park and recreation professionals need to become familiar with – PROWAG, Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas, AASHTO and MUTCD.
This is a final guideline but is still several steps, perhaps 18 months, away from being a final and enforceable standard.
The Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (commonly referred to as PROWAG) are intended to cover all elements used by the pedestrian in the public right of way. Important to note is the Shared Use Path Accessibility Guidelines Supplement to the PROWAG guidelines. This provides a very important new definition as well as modifies some of the definitions previously established in the PROWAG document.
Within these guidelines, the public right-of-way is defined as "public land acquired for or dedicated to transportation purposes, or other land where there is a legally established right for use by the public for transportation purposes." This document provides guidance on sidewalks, pedestrian street crossings, pedestrian signals, and any other facilities for pedestrian circulation and use within the right-of way. These guidelines include important distinctions between different types of routes that are not included in the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design.
The following are important definitions when determining what type of route is present:
Park and recreation agencies need to get familiar now with guidelines and coming regulations for accessible trails
Draft Final Guideline for Outdoor Developed Areas
This is, as of September 26, 2013, a final guideline, and it addresses only sites that are federally owned and operated. It is several steps away from being a final and enforceable standard. Following that, rulemaking on the same issue will be developed that will apply to title II entities (states and local governments) and title III entities (businesses and nonprofits). That process likely ends four years from now, or sometime in 2017.
The Final Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas offer guidance for trails and outdoor accessible routes. This document is intended for outdoor developed areas owned and operated by federal agencies. However it is very likely that the scoping and technical requirements here will be proposed for units of state and local governments soon.
The distinctions between trails and outdoor accessible routes, and the type of path covered by PROWAG, are significant.
Other Guidance
There are other guidelines and standards that may apply to a specific project or location. Two documents that are commonly referenced are the AASHTO Guide and the MUTCD regulations.
Many shared use path and bike trail designers will look to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities which provides useful and practical guidelines. These are not an enforceable standard. However, you may encounter a situation where a funder could require compliance with this guideline.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is an enforceable regulation that affects state and local governments, and is the national standard for traffic control devices installed on public streets, highways, and bicycle trails. Unless your state has adopted more stringent requirements, or created its own manual, the national MUTCD is the standard that must be followed. These requirements apply to any signs that are currently in use or may be installed.
So what do park and recreation agencies need to do now? Get familiar with the guidelines and ask yourselves some questions:
What guidance are you finding helpful? What questions do you have about accessible trails? Share your thoughts or questions in the comments below.

Man held after armed standoffTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 26,2013AP PHOTO
Armed police head to a standoff Wednesday in Newport. Police say a suspect was taken into custody following a four-hour standoff.NEWPORT A 36-year-old man who told police he was being surrounded by about 400 non-existent police officers and retreated to his garage roof where he held a number of real state and federal law officers at bay for four hours Wednesday was ordered held on $100,000 bail. Derrick Niles, who was armed with a rifle while on the roof, was taken into custody without any shots being fired. There were no injuries.
The situation began about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday when Niles called police and told them he was being surrounded.
When officers arrived, Niles was on the roof and he had directed a 15-year-old boy to take an armed position in the woods to help protect the house. The boy later surrendered.
Eight children and one adult were evacuated from the home where the incident took place.
Niles was taken into custody at about 11 a.m. He was charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
It could not be immediately determined if Niles had an attorney.
Police say no one else will be charged. Police initially ordered people in the neighborhood to stay in their homes, but later ordered area residents to leave their homes.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
