- Abstract
- Fast deposition of hydrogenated chlorinated microcrystalline (μc–) Si:H:Cl films was investigated using the high-density and low-temperature microwave plasma source utilizing a spoke antenna of a SiH2Cl2–H2 mixture. The optical emission spectroscopy study revealed that the SiCl intensity and the Ha/SiCl intensity ratio are the possible monitors for the film deposition rate and the degree of the film crystallinity, respectively. The μc–Si:H:Cl films fabricated from SiH2Cl2 possessed less volume fraction of void and defect density rather than μc–Si:H from SiH4 while maintaining a high deposition rate of 40 Å/s. These originate from the chemical reactivity of H and Cl terminated growing surface. The fine structure of μc–Si:H:Cl film is discussed and compared with that of μc–Si:H film from SiH4.

A prospective study of adult patients with celiac disease reported in the Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics examines histological recovery and gluten-free diet adherence.
Adequate gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease.
However, no agreement has been reached on either how and when to assess patient adherence to gluten-free diet or its effectiveness on villous atrophy.
Professor Annibale and colleagues from Italy assessed, in a prospective study, patient adherence to, and efficacy of gluten-free diet on histological recovery after 1-year of gluten-free diet.
Between 2009 and 2012, the team enrolled 65 consecutive newly-diagnosed adult patients with biopsy-proven atrophic celiac disease.
Patients were re-evaluated after 1 year of gluten-free diet with duodenal histology, serological assays, symptoms and a dietary interview based on a validated questionnaire.
Complete histological recovery was defined as the absence of villous atrophy and ≤30/100 intraepithelial lymphocytes.
Overall, 82% of patients had adequate adherence to gluten-free diet, whereas 19% had an inadequate adherence.
The team observed that 66% of adequate adherence patients, and no IADA patients achieved complete histological recovery.
Among adequate adherence patients, antibody seroconversion and symptoms were not significantly different between patients who achieved complete histological recovery, and those who achieved partial histological recovery, respectively.
The research team showed that Marsh 3C was a risk factor for incomplete histological recovery in adequate adherence patients.
Professor Annibale's team concludes, "This study shows that complete histological recovery after 1-year of gluten-free diet in adult patients, who are assessed as adherent to the gluten-free diet, can be obtained in 66% of patients."
"Patients with severe histological damage at diagnosis are at risk for incomplete histological recovery 1 year later."

|Welcome to Justice Calling.
This is a role-playing forum website for fans of the Sonic Underground series. The main storyline forum will be derived from where the last episode left off in the series. Unless we can find a lyrical writer for the storyline, then any songs used might be already existing ones to prove the point in which the emotion of the plot happens to signify.
The characters will still be the same in which they were left in the series. However, they might have slight modifications since this fanbase forum will be slightly more grownup from where the series was silly due to who the audience was, which was children.
It won't occur right away, but the storyline plans to have extra characters that come from other Sonic Universe though not all of them. So there will be more character options as the storyline progresses.
Besides official characters, reoccurring fancharacters are welcomed into the forum as well. So if you have a fancharacter you want to role-play here for the series then they are welcomed as long as their background and design check out. This is a procedure that is need to be made since Princess Sonia[/me] doesn't want unoriginal recolors in this website. So expect to be met with administrators who will be strictly picky!
But the most important things to remember on this site are:
1) If you ever have any issues on the website don't hesitate to message Princess Sonia[/me]. She is here to guide and help you whenever you need her.
2) Though this is a simple role-playing forum site, this is also going to be treated as a respective one as well. So no spamming, flaming, etc.! Users are not to be going around thinking they can just willy nillyingly go around being rude or hateful! Anyone out of line will be dealt with accordingly.
3) Try to be at least active once or twice a week on the website. Annual posts are appreciated and keeps the main forum going~ We're not asking users to completely dedicate their time/lives here, but to show that users are willing to put a little of their time and effort into this.
4) Have fun and be creative! This is a site for all who visit and are over the age of 13. Fun and creativity are the two main factors in building a storyline forum.
5) As has been said in rule #1, this is going to be a respective forum. If guests are going to join, they are asked that all members type like they know how to type/write. Princess Sonia[/me] DOES NOT want to read written type that is in the form of texting nonsense! When discussing topics or simple chatting Princess Sonia[/me] doesn't mind internet lingo. User's text doesn't have to be perfect. The group doesn't admire having things posted that sound like something an uneducated teeny bopper tried to text instead of actually trying to type upon a computer screen!
Hope guests like what they've read and would like to become a part of this site. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

Bartleby sat in an overstuffed chair, bathed in the glow of the fire crackling cheerfully in the hearth before him. The room, was small, even for his standards, yet it was cozy. Robotnik had long since cut off the power to his side of the world, so he had to rely more on firelight and candlelight. He was able to protect the gas which enabled him to cook his meals on the stove, and powered the hot water boiler. He managed to salvage and install some solar panels, which helped with the heating as well.
He raised his hands, palms towards the fire glow. His eye caught and lingered upon a small 8x10 photograph in an elaborate frame. His heart seemed to flutter for a moment, as he thought of a different Christmas, so many years ago when he was younger, and more naive. He reached over and picked up a mug of hot rosebud tea, clasping it in both hands he looked away. He was foolish to have let her go, yet he had no choice.
He wondered where she was, and if she ever thought of him.
He smiled.

The fleeting of her breath came out soft though in a frigid visual when she let out a sigh into the frosty air of the evening. With the power out for the evening she decided to go on outside to gaze up at the stary night sky. She made sure to bundle herself up in dark orchid winter wear laced with fur to warm her ears, wrists, and ankles. In all her nights as a leader of the Freedom Fighter Resistance had she ever seen the true beauty of the evening sky. It had always been hidden in a masquerade mask of smog and who knows what else that Robotnik's tyranny spreaded into the air...
A soft silent grin was quick to gracing her chaped lips upon looking at each shining star that seemed to twinkle right as she gazed upon it. She would heave in awestruck when she was able to get an entire glimpse of the metallic rainbow in which was the sky's background into full view. Such sites reminded her of times when her guardian and her family would travel to snowy resorts when Christmas came around.
Gloved fingers started to come into a constant motion of drawing invisable circles onto the mug of hot chocolate while the hedgehog female seemed to zone out into her memories... Memories of when she was just a small child, and treated like a princess that she would soon discover to be. When she was raised in a reign of aristocrats that gave her a chance to live a childhood free of danger, paranoia, having a life on the run... Was able to play freely as every child should have been allowed to... And when she was in an arranged though young love with a particular mink man that she had to part ways with to save...
Though it seemed he was a traitor, he was just trying to live his life. Anyone with money that talked did the same thing he did. For a while she was just so angry for him walking such a fine line. But as she seemed to grow up on her journey, she began to understand him, and then she was able to forgive him.
If only I could spend Christmas with him... She would merely laugh at such a thought. It wasn't as plausiable or easy as she wanted that requested... A smirk then quirked at the corners of her lips. "But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to wish it upon a shooting star~..." Her hands clamped around the mug in them holding it since she had no where to put it for when she needed to lace and hold them together. The chanting filled the air, and her wish would fleet as fast as the star that passed through with it attached onto. She just hoped that her wish would come true...
|Nov 16 2010, 05:22 AM Post #3
The oddest thought came to his mind, as he saw what he could guess was the fleeting glimpse of a shooting star. It was something he had not done in many a year since the coup. The idea of a Christmas party seemed preposterous during such a time as this, yet it also was the one thing all of Mobius needed. A chance to raise their glasses and spirits in light of the ever pressing darkness.
His smile widened.
It is what she would have wanted.
So, he started the planning immediately. He carefully wrote up the invitations, making sure to include old friends, and new. He could only hope, that throughout the land, someone, somewhere, would find it, and somehow, she would find him.
Yet, he also knew the risk associated with such an act.
He was a wanted traitor to the Empire of Robotnik. For as long as the rotund Overlander ruled the land with his iron grip, everything he did put his life in great jeopardy. Still, he had to try. He no longer could live with fear of the unknown, but take each day as they came, and hope beyond all hope, that the children of the Queen would fulfill the prophecy and peace would return to Mobius.

It was a frosty kissed morning when she would wake up. The sky was a nice light shade of blue, and the air was cool as well as crisp. Foilage had a colorful white prismatic glow to them from where the sunlight hit the snow just right. Except for how the tempature and dampness of the season ruining her beautiful hair quills, she just loved this time of year. Thought it was mainly for it's ivory wonderland glamor.
Gloved hands reached downward to pull apart the icy metal covering of her mail box, which was a sinch for her thanks to her super hedgehog strength~ "Hmm...?!" Eggplant eyelids were blinking in surprise when she came to gazing upon three finely dressed envelopes greeting her once she had opened the mail box. Hesitantly, she picks them up, then scans them to see her and her brothers' names on each single envelope. The hedgehog female would then tuck them away into her pockets before closing the box, and retreating back into the warmth of her temporary home.
She'd sit the ones addressed to her brother upon the table she took a seat at. Hers, she rose to get a closer look at, though her nose started wavering when it was beginning to pick up the faint familiar smell of tea leaves from off of it... I-it can't be... Or... Or could it...? Was she wondered with hazy crystallized irises, and a new churning in her chest. To make sure that her nose wasn't playing tricks on her, she brought the envelope up to it to take a heavy smell of it. Her eyes widened. It did smell like that she thought it did! And that had her ripping the top of her envelope hastily to see what the contents were inside.
Her heart was racing so fast, and beating so heavily! It was him! "Oh Mobius..." The tone of her voice was so hush quiet. Tears of utter bliss were gushing in thin trickles over her frosty tawny cheeks. A hand rose to surpress the sobs that wanted to escape her lips.
"I will be there, my Bartleby...~"
Sonia knew that somehow, someway, she was going to be repay her shooting shining star for such a gift it gave her.

The excited voice of Sonic the Hedgehog broke the winter air. Shredding down some of the mountains in the cold, he was fully enjoying a little relaxation time. This had been one of the few moments Sonic and his siblings actually GOT to have some free time. Taking the opportunity, Sonic had decided to carve his way down a windy trail on his snowboard.
After a few more slopes, Sonic shuttered. "Man, I'm getting a little frozen. Time to juice my way back home!"
Sonic leaped off his board and revved up to extreme speed and bolted down the mountain. In no time at all, he was back to where the hedgehogs were staying. He kicked the snow off his shoes and entered the warmth of the house. It wasn't much, but it served their purpose. Sonic put his snowboard away, then he called out, "Yo sibs! Anyone home?"

|Delicate fingers rose to skim across the bottom of her eye to wipe any presence of tears. Her free hand reached into her pants pocket to retrieve her hankerchief then blow her nose with it. That body of hers then stiffened and jumped at the sudden loudly entrance by her speedy brother. The response afterwards was of her glaring in the direction of the noise in retaliation, but it wouldn't last long. Sighing, she rose seat scooping up Sonic's invitation as she made her way to the front door. "I am." Sonia directed the invitation his way. "And this is for you."

Sonic grinned at his sister and scooped up the invitation. His eyes widened a bit and he gave a low whistle. "Well, ol' Bartleby is actually having a celebration for Christmas, eh? It's about time he spread some good will and cheer around for once." Sonic laughed, but roared it down when he saw his sister's disapproving look. Okay, so maybe for one day out of the year, Sonic figured he could be nice with it being Christmas and everything.
The hedgehog smiled at Sonia and crashed into an old sofa. "So, what's the plan, sis?"

Bartleby made sure the house was decorated and prepared for his guests. The most important one, he hoped, would arrive shortly. Unlike his usual affairs, this was going to be a very special event. He had taken out the best silver, and china. He brought out the gold candelabras, and had the crystal chandeliers cleaned until they shimmered in a spectacular display of spectral magic. The large mirrors were cleaned and polished, the ornate mantle on the fireplace dusted and cleaned until he saw his own reflection in the marble. The same for the long table that stretched lengthways down the expanse of the room. An ivory damask tablecloth covered the table, and upon it was placed the gold trimmed china and sterling silverware. Cut crystal water goblets, wine glasses, and champagne flutes were set. The centerpiece was an exquisite flower arrangement of rare orchids and ferns that tumbled from a two large silver vases garnished with pomegranates, figs, and grapes.
Adjacent to the dining room, large double doors led to the ball room. The floor shimmered brilliantly as dust was removed and the fine rare granite inlays were cleaned and polished. This was more than simple wealth, this was opulence. Only for the best of guests was such care and effort taken to create the atmosphere so deserving of their prestige. It was his way of honoring her. His way of showing her the true value of her audience.

Victim identified in Janesville apparent homicide
Published On: Dec 09 2012 05:46:58 PM CST
Authorities in Janesville have identified the victim of what police call an apparent homicide.
Forty-six-year-old Traci Moyer was found dead in a house in Janesville early Saturday after she failed to return home as expected. Police say her estranged husband was taken to Mercy Hospital with unspecified medical issues.
The Janesville Gazette reports he was in fair condition Sunday after being listed in critical condition Saturday night.
Police have not said whether he's considered a suspect, but Deputy Chief Danny Davis said Saturday that there was no danger to the public.
An autopsy was set for Sunday.

How to Take Your Self Seriously as an Indie Author
As a self-published author, I got 99 problems. But a boss ain't one of them.
Crossing Over | Guest Author
So why, after all of that, would I decide to indie publish a new series? Because the publisher, in the way that publishing sometimes goes, decided not to do any more books after Book 9 came out last fall.

On Becoming Multimedia Emperors
If it had been the Sixties, we would have begun a commune. If it had been the nineties we would have started a dot-com. Because it's the 2010s (the first two decades of a century are super annoying for nickname branding purposes), we obviously decided to start a multimedia empire.

Patti Davis: "If you weren't you I could sell this in a minute"
There is now a boundary line in my career, separating being conventionally published and self-published. And I'm very much at peace on this side of that boundary line.

Feather the Clutch: My Journey to Becoming an Indie Author
Twenty-six years later, I think I finally know what "feather the clutch" means. Do that thing that I can't really tell you in words how to do but when you're doing it right you'll feel it and that sickening grinding sound will stop and you'll sail along in the direction you want to go.

A Traditionally Pubbed Author Wades into the Waters of Self Publishing
Another reason for self publishing is the ability to exercise more control over my "intellectual property." Yes, the middle man still exists (in my case, Amazon's digital publishing arm), but outside of providing a "storefront," the guy in the suit mostly sits back and collects his cut.

Leaping Into the Abyss of Self-Publishing
He doesn't have to wait thirty or so days, for a literary agent with an exclusivity agreement to finally say, "Yes, I see potential in your work and would like to see more," or, as is more often the case, "While your story is very good, I am not the person to represent it." This, by the way, could go on for a very long time.

Goodbye to Profit-Driven,Long-Suffering Sheepherders and Hello to Letting Readers Decide
Perhaps I am different from other Indie authors who find themselves pushed into the "indie way" because of a general lack of response from the profit-driven, long-suffering commercial publishing industry, which has been reduced to a passel of lost sheepherders trying to lead their readers without direction or vision.

The Carolina Panthers hosted the Seattle Seahawks in a pivotal game before heading into their bye week. While the defense held the Seahawks to 16 points, the Panthers were unable to get anything going offensively and fell to 1-4 on the season.
The way the game played out and the ineffectiveness of some key players left this game to be summed up simply as an epic failure.
Carolina had its chances despite playing bad football, and their window at making a postseason run is closing fast. The Panthers probably have three or four more losses before they are completely out of the hunt—and with their remaining schedule, it will not be easy.
After a game like this one, it is hard to put together a lot of positives and identify winners in the wake of so much negativity and poor performances. Oddly enough, the winners are all defensive players given that there was nobody on the other side of the ball who stood out—at least not in a good way.
While there may be others warranting mention on this list, here are the ones that stood out the most in Week 5.

There are so many reasons why you should use Movie Draft instead of Microsoft Word, Final Draft or any other type of conventional word processor based software.
Movie Draft is not like other screenplay software. Movie Draft was conceived to be a clutter-free, easy to use yet feature packed application from the ground up.
Every feature implemented into Movie Draft has been thoroughly thought through to be the most user-friendly yet necessary feature a writer needs. From single scene or full screen modes, index card navigation and color-coded editors to a beautiful iTunes-esque status display, scene icons, notes and SceneTime™ to give you accurate running times for your current scene and the entire script.
If there's a feature not implemented into Movie Draft, chances are you don't need it. Movie Draft allows you to concentrate on telling your story.
Staring at a blank page and trying to write a 120 page screenplay from start to finish is not a task for the faint-hearted. In fact, it's the biggest factor in why most writers never finish their screenplay. It's just too much pressure. To eliminate this problem Movie Draft allows you to view your screenplay one scene at a time and you can write your screenplay in any order you want and drag scenes around as you see fit.
Staring at a black and white page for hours on end can lead to eye fatigue and doesn't give you a representation of balance between each element in your scene. Click on the Color Highlight feature in Movie Draft and you can instantly see how much action vs dialog you have in your scene, not to mention making reading 10 times easier.
Movie Draft is not just screenplay formatting software, it has a powerful Scene List which can represent your scenes in a number of ways - index card view, scene names view, scenes with notes, scenes with icons, or a combination of all of these so you can organize your scenes in the way that suits your writing style. All at a touch of a button.
Movie Draft can auto-complete your character and location elements either by pressing TAB to complete via ghost text or by pressing ENTER to complete via a pop-up menu. Because Movie Draft can do both, you can write to the style that suits you best.
Swapping between different elements when typing is a piece of cake with Movie Draft's Tab and Enter key combinations and to make things even easier the Display shows you what the Tab and Enter key will accomplish next.
If you've previously used Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter and are switching to Movie Draft, you can keep the Tab and Enter shortcuts you're used to by choosing the different key style from the key styles menu.
Ever wanted to know precisely how long each scene of your screenplay is? Well now you can. SceneTime™ lets you do just that. With a quick glance you can see the length of the current scene as well as the total running time of your script.
Sometimes you may want to write different versions of your scenes but don't want to throw away or delete the other scenes you've written. Usually to accomplish this you'd cut out the scene from Microsoft Word, Final Draft or any other screenplay software and paste it into a blank document and save it under a different name - just in case you need it in future. Tedious and error-prone.
In Movie Draft, writing multiple versions of each scene is simply a matter of hiding any scenes that you don't want to delete. These scenes will not appear in the editor and won't print out. If you ever want them back again, just show them.
Visual cues are more immediate than having to read each scene name when navigating your script. Movie Draft contains over 200 icons to help navigate your scenes, remember where plot-points are or generally aid in writing your script. If those aren't enough, click on the Add New Icon button and you can add your own!
Prefer to have a "traditional" layout when writing? Or maybe full-screen, or white text on a blue? Whatever your preference, Movie Draft's Page Style's can accommodate.
Whether you're writing a screenplay or a stage play on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows or Linux, Movie Draft will take care of all the formatting so you don't have to. All you need to do is choose Letter (US) or A4 (UK), everything else is done for you.

Title: Current situation of Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear power station
Source: Tepco
Date: Dec 7, 2012
Current status of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS and Fukushima Daini NPS after the earthquake (M7.3) at the offshore of Sanriku at 5:18 pm on December 7, 2012.
[As for the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station]
After the earthquake occurred at 5:18 pm on December 7, 2012, we have conducted checkups at the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, and have found there was no problem.
Since we had found positive pressure in the reactor building of Unit 1, we have started Stand by Gas Treatment System* (the pressure was 0.05 kPa at that time of the start), and confirmed negative pressure in the reactor building. The negative pressure has been kept currently. We will conduct inspections for the cause of this matter.
The fluctuation of the monitoring post readings is being maintained within the range of normal fluctuation before and after the earthquake and currently no radiation impact to the outside of the power station has been reported due to the earthquake.
Source: Jiji Tsushin
Translation: EXSKF
Date: Dec 7, 2012
[...] in Fukushima II (Daini) Nuke Plant, the pressure inside the Reactor 1 building rose a little. At 5:20PM, workers lowered the pressure by manually operating [the system that] pumps out the air.
TEPCO's manager Masayuki Ono explained "It's not very serious", even though he acknowledged the company did not know the cause of the pressure rise. According to TEPCO, there is no leak of radioactive materials in the environment.
EXSKF: "It looks something may have happened at Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant. According to TEPCO, there was a small rise in pressure in the reactor building, which is to be kept at a negative pressure to prevent radioactive contamination from spreading into the environment."

On the heels of Comic-Con, Paramount released some stunning promotional concept art for the upcoming Avengers tie-in epics Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. And by "concept art," we're not talking about some scribbles in No. 2 pencil on an art pad of Darth Vader with a wide mask, holding a goofy lightsaber and a blaster. We're talking about unbelievably cool wide-angled images of Captain America storming the battlefield amid a hail of Nazi gunfire, and an epic battle between Thor and his evil half-brother Loki that seems to be sending the entire kingdom of Asgard into fire-blazing chaos. Cliff Notes: The pics are amazing! (See full versions below.)
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the evil Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in a duel so epic, the world is breaking apart.
Captain America (Chris Evans) ready to decorate the battlefield with bloody swastikas.
Granted, this is just art, but it's a series of visions that we're likely to see in the films, which definitely makes me more excited. These two films will definitely be a real test for the non-Spider/Iron/X division of the Marvel Universe.
Have any feedback about the artwork or the films?

Objective: To determine the incidence of significant liver enzyme elevations following the initiation of protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) with or without pharmacokinetic boosting with ritonavir (RTV), and to define the role of chronic viral hepatitis in its development.
Design: Prospective, cohort analysis of 1161 PI-naive, HIV-infected patients receiving RTV-boosted (lopinavir, indinavir and saquinavir) and unboosted PI-based ART (indinavir, nelfinavir) that had at least one liver enzyme measurement before and during therapy.
Methods: The incidence of grade 3 and 4 liver enzyme elevations among persons with and without hepatitis B and/or C co-infection treated with PI-based ART were compared. Severe hepatotoxicity was defined as an increase in serum liver enzyme ≥ 5-times the upper limit of the normal range or 3.5-times an elevated baseline level.
Results: The incidence of grade 3 or 4 elevations among PI-naive patients was: nelfinavir, 11%; lopinavir/RTV (200 mg/day), 9%; indinavir, 13%; indinavir/RTV (200–400 mg/day), 12.8%; and saquinavir/RTV (800 mg/day), 17.2%. The risk was significantly greater among persons with chronic viral hepatitis (63% of cases); however, the majority of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients treated with nelfinavir (84%), saquinavir/RTV (74%), indinavir, 86%, indinavir/RTV (90%) or lopinavir/RTV (87%) did not develop hepatotoxicity.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that the lopinavir/RTV is not associated with a significantly increased risk of hepatotoxity among HCV-infected and uninfected patients compared with an alternative PI-based regimen, nelfinavir. Accordingly, other medication-related factors (e.g, efficacy and non-hepatic toxicity) should guide individual treatment decisions.

Wilmington's 495 bridge wins state's top engineering award
Updated Wednesday, December 3, 2014 - 1:51pm
The response to this summer's I-495 bridge closure is now getting a favorable response of its own.
Recipients of the 2015 Engineering Excellence Awards, as determined by the Delaware chapter for the American Council of Engineering Companies, were announced Tuesday and Wilmington-based AECOM Technical Services has been awarded the state's most prestigious recognition.
Kim Willson of ACEC Delaware says that the firm's design and construction for the emergency bridge repairs made it an obvious choice for their Grand Conceptor Award.
"One of the awards judges indicated that this project was one of the most critical projects they could ever remember...real work versus textbook solutions," Willson told WDEL.
AECOM's recognition may not just be limited to Delaware. Willson says their winning submission is now eligible for entry into the national competition for Engineering Excellence.
"My hope is that we will have some sort of award coming nationally for the state of Delaware," says Willson.

Two weeks of college football are officially in the books, which means that America's hottest and coldest players can no longer be deemed "one-game wonders" or "one-game letdowns."
The second game of the season doubles a player's sample size, stretching his good or bad performance that much closer to being a trend than a fluke (even though there's not enough evidence to make a conclusion).
Some players who struggled in Week 1 atoned for that performance in Week 2, while some who excelled came back down to earth.
But some players looked extra hot or extra cold this past weekend, and their performance doesn't seem poised to change.

3 Arrested In Ogdensburg Drug Raid
Three men believed to be part of an out-of town drug trafficking ring were arrested in Ogdensburg Wednesday.
Ogdensburg police say they and the St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force raided a Belmont Courts apartment, arrested three men, and found a quantity of drugs, cash and drug paraphernalia.
Arrested were:
- Triston Glenn (also known as "T" and "Fresh Money"), 31, also of Queens. He was charged with third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana.
- Reginald Barnes (also known as "Day Day"), 26, of Buffalo, N.Y. He was charged with third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
- Kaquane Bovain (also known as "KO" and "Sleezie"), 30, of Queens, N.Y. He was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana.
Police say they the search came on the heels of a narcotics investigation that stemmed from reports of drug traffic and crack cocaine sales at the apartment.
Police say they found 50 bags of crack cocaine with a street value of $5,000. They also found some cash, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
None of the men live in the apartment they were arrested in, police say.
Police say they believe all three are members of a Buffalo-area drug trafficking ring that has been operating in the area.
Bovain was ticketed and released. He is scheduled to appear in Ogdensburg city court on Friday.
Glenn and Barnes were arraigned in city court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail on $10,000 bail each.
The investigation continues and police say they expect to make more arrests.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sent target letters to at least seven former Delphi Corp. senior officials executives, a sign that the regulatory body's investigation into accounting fraud at the auto supplier is gaining steam.
The letters notify prospective defendants of the substance of charges that commission investigators plan to recommend to the commission.
Six Delphi executives - including the vice chairman and chief financial officer, the treasurer, and a vice president for treasury, mergers and acquisitions - were forced to leave the company in the aftermath of the accounting probe. At least some of those officials are believed to have received the target letters.
Meanwhile, the judge in the company's bankruptcy case postponed until Friday a hearing scheduled for yesterday on whether Delphi can void its union contracts. John Butler, Jr., lead attorney for Delphi, said bargaining between the company and its unions had intensified because of the postponement.

Press Release
From the Office of State Senator Rodney Ellis
For Immediate Release Friday, January 3, 2003 Contact: Mike Lavigne, (512) 463-0113
Senator Ellis Files Bill to Ban Execution of Mentally Retarded
Austin, TX- Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) filed legislation on Thursday to ban the execution of the mentally retarded in Texas. Senate Bill 163 addresses the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Atkins vs. Virginia that banned the execution of the Mentally Retarded nationally.
"As a strong supporter of the death penalty, I believe it is necessary to keep a vigilant eye on the process," said Senator Ellis. "This legislation will help to ensure that we only execute those who deserve of the ultimate punishment."
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Atkins that the execution of the mentally retarded constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and violates the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution.
"The Supreme Court's decision confirmed what we already knew to be true. It is simply wrong to execute the mentally retarded," Senator Ellis continued. "We do not execute children in the state of Texas, therefore we should not execute those who have the mind of a child."
The Supreme Court's decision in Atkins assigned the states the task of establishing a procedure for determining mental retardation. SB 163 accomplishes this challenge. The legislation calls for a pretrial jury determination of mental retardation. The bill provides that a defendant with an IQ of 70 or below is presumed to be mentally retarded. The prosecution may put on evidence to rebut the presumption.
The definition of mental retardation mirrors the criteria found in the Texas Health and Safety code. This standard is both precise and widely accepted by the mental health community and legal experts. Under this legislation determination of mental retardation would involve the following three-prong test:
1) significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning that is 2) concurrent with deficits in adaptive behavior and 3) originates during the developmental period (before the age of 18)
"This legislation outlines a very detailed and specific process for determining eligibility for the death penalty,"
explained Senator Ellis.
"The rigidness of this test eliminates the chance that someone might be able to "game" the system."

"The Chicago Way."
Growing up outside Chicago as a fan of history, I was captivated by the legendary tales surrounding the FBI and guys like John Dillinger and Al Capone. The books I would check out of the library always featured the heroics and dedication of the "G-men," the government agents who risked and often, gave their lives to serve their country in the war on crime.
But there's a certain toughness associated with Chicago, a blue-collar mentality. It was perfectly captured in the film "The Untouchables," where Sean Connery describes to Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness what he's going to need to do to get Capone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPZ6eaL3S2E)
"The Chicago Way," he describes is if Capone pulls a knife, Ness would need to pull a gun. If Capone sent an agent to the hospital, Ness would need to send one of his gang to the morgue.
That's what came to mind when I read the email submitted for today's Spam Report from Mark Knoll. It's so complex, so detailed and yet, so apparently vindictive from the "FBI" as to what it will do if Mr. Knoll doesn't send the agency $180 because his bank account apparently holds $10.5 million from an "impostor" or "fraudster" in Nigeria.
He's being threatened with arrest, his properties and wealth confiscated, if he does not answer the following note. Specifically, if he does not acquiesce he "will be appearing in court for act of Terrorism, Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking Charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched."
To that, Mr. Knoll told me, he "would take his chances."
If you want to read good fiction, give this a perusal.
Otherwise, you could use the internet version of the Chicago Way. If they send you a fraudulent spam email, you report it to the authorities, send it to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and then, just hit delete.
Thanks for sharing, Mr. Knoll.

Attention: Funds Beneficiary,
Ref.: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FINAL WARNING
This is the final warning you are going to receive from this office and I hope you understand how many times this message has been sent to you?
We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested and today if you fail to respond back to us with the payment then we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your Bank Account until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the Federal Bureau Of Investigation.
Your ID which we have in our database has been sent to all the Crimes Agencies in America for them to insert you in their website as Internet Fraudster and to warn people from having any deals with you; this would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the Certificate Signed, Endorsed and Stamped as you where instructed in the e-mail sent to you earlier.
This is the Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) am using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste; as stated earlier you must do all you can to have the Document Endorsed, Signed and Stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your properties confiscated.
You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our Executive Director Mr. Thomas S. Mueller has already been notified about you getting the process completed and right now the Warrant Of Arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours.
We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if your ID is placed on our website as a wanted person, I believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in all the local stations that you are wanted by the Federal Bureau Of Investigation.
As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how I could be of help to you because I would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, I called the Supreme Court of Nigeria and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will assist you securing the document at the sum of US$180 Only and I believe this process is cheaper for you.
You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our Executive Director Mr. Thomas S. Mueller has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your Bank Account which is valued at the sum of US$10,500,000.00.
I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you 72 hours so that you could get this process done because I learnt that you were sent several e-mail without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that I can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall you. You would make the payment through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram with the below details.
Make sure that you didn't hesitate in making the payment down to the agency by today or tomorrow so that they can secure the Certificate without any further delay. After all this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the Bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of US$10,500,000.00 which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.
Note: all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are given a grace today to make the payment for the document after which your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will be appearing in court for act of Terrorism, Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking Charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours Faithfully.
For the FBI Office
Mr. Thomas J. Harrington
Associate Deputy Director

Tying Up a Tricky Two-Week Stretch for Stocks
Signs surround us as we map our forward path.
Editor's Note: Todd posts his vibes in real time each day on our Buzz & Banter.
Day 11.
Following two weeks that have been nothing short of surreal, the stock market-and many of those of us who trade it-are limping toward the weekend.
On Monday, following a dark time on the Eastern Seaboard, I penned The Post-Hurricane and Pre-Election Financial Markets. After holding down a fort full of kids with no power or heat, we cast an eye at the Beltway, forecast an Obama win, and noted that the S&P (INDEXSP:.INX) was churning under resistance as the VXO (^VXO) was basing above support, both of which were negative technical patterns.
On Tuesday, as folks made their way to the polls, we shared The Perfect Storm of the Presidential Election that spoke to the societal consequences of the storm and further negatives that had emerged in the marketplace (lower highs in the banks (INDEXDJX:BKX), the Russell (NYSEARCA:IWM) and the semiconductors (INDEXNASDAQ:SOX)), as well as the importance of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a leading indicator.
Later that same day, we wrote Positioning Into the Presidential Election-first (as always) on the Buzz, and a few hours later on MV Proper as it was an important column.
That missive weighed the positives and negative road signs in the marketplace before netting out that "Odds favor a downdraft tomorrow" while adding, "with a Nor'easter on the way and a powerless house in the 'burbs, my focus is on my family and my business-in that order-with my P&L a distant third."
We often say that if opportunity is our greatest cost, we should consider ourselves fortunate. I didn't slap on a massive short-side bet despite (what I perceived to be) 3-1 odds that we would see serious slippage; I focused on investments that have nothing to do with financial markets. This, of course, preceded the worst two-day decline of the year and yes, opportunities are made up easier than losses.
On Wednesday, after Bam secured another four years-and as the sovereign sequel to the first phase of the financial crisis flared-we wrote Trading the Presidential Election Results, which mapped stair-step support levels for the stock market, most notably S&P 1380 (the 200-day moving average) as THE line in the sand.
The S&P only tested this level once this year and after a false breakdown, it rallied 16.5% (into September), per the chart below.
So, where does that leave us, as people and market practitioners?
Tired and scruffy-but, speaking from personal experience, extremely appreciative for what I do have and all of the simple things I took for granted. While the storm(s) left a profound health, energy, and financial impact in its wake-and yes, for some, devastation entirely worse than that-it also provided perspective and enabled a bonding of sorts, be it within the family construct or amongst neighbors.
There's something about trying times that brings out the best in each of us, or that's how I've chosen to cope with this, my eleventh day without power and heat. One could make the case that this mindset should also extend to our "prolonged period of socioeconomic malaise," but that's a different discussion for another time.
Suffice to say that without TV or Internet at home, I've had plenty of time to reflect on what's truly important in life while rationing gas, feeding our fireplace, and tucking our displaced children into warm beds each night. Work to live, don't live to work, indeed.

Blueberry Milk Chocolate Chunk Pancakes
I have a confession to make....On Saturday's I eat whatever I want. During the week I try to eat mostly healthy, and most days I do rather well, but on Saturday if something strikes my fancy then by golly I'm going to eat what I just can't get out of my head! A couple of weeks ago that was pancakes and I couldn't decide if I wanted to make chocolate chip pancakes or blueberry pancakes. What to do? What to do?
Now I've made pancakes and posted them on Dianne's Dishes before, but these were different. This took three different cravings (blueberries, chocolate and pancakes) and rolled them into one! Obviously this is not an everyday sort of food, but if you want to splurge I HIGHLY recommend looking no further!
The really neat thing about these pancakes is that you sort of get a three in one taste combination as well. In one bite you get a blueberry pancake vibe, in another you get a chocolate chip pancake feeling and then finally in some bites you get a blueberry/milk chocolate combo that just hits the spot! So if you like a little chocolate in your pancakes, or a little blueberry, just think about combining them and you're there!
What You'll Need:
2 cups of unbleached all purpose flour (Note: As always feel free to use white whole wheat flour instead.)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/3 cup of organic cane sugar
1/8 cup of safflower oil
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups of buttermilk
Milk chocolate, cut into chunks (Note: You could use chocolate chips if you liked, or another version of chocolate.)
Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat.
In a large bowl stir together flour, sea salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and stir until thick batter forms. Set aside.
I like to line up my ingredients in a row so it's easier to get to what I need as I go:
Once your pan is heated brush it with oil or spray it with non-stick spray and ladle batter onto the pan:
Add blueberries and chocolate:
Cook until bubbles start to form an then flip quickly:
Cook for a minute or two and then I like to flip them back over just to make sure everything is cooked through:
Remove from pan and repeat until you run out of batter.
Serve with maple syrup and butter and then dig in!
Notes: You could do this with any fruit and chocolate combo that you liked.

Love your blog! And the pancakes are making me hungry!

Thanks! I've still got a few of these in the freezer. They'll be making an appearance some Saturday morning soon!
Posted by: Dianne at June 23, 2009 12:35 PM
Wow - blueberries, chocolate and pancakes? Sounds like my idea of heaven!
Posted by: Megan at June 23, 2009 12:47 PM
Mine too! :o)
Posted by: Dianne at June 23, 2009 1:55 PM
We(Joe)makes pancakes every Sunday that the twins aren't playing baseball but they only ever want "regular" ones. In order to try something else I have to make 'em for dinner. The few times that I have my pancakes are always thin. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the tip about adding the add ins just before flipping them.
Posted by: ingrid at June 24, 2009 10:40 AM
I'm not sure to be honest, but I've found from personal experience that the thicker the batter, the less they spread and become thin. I'm not sure if that is the official answer, but it seems to work for me! ;oP
Posted by: Dianne at June 25, 2009 9:22 AM
Okay, I'll give it a try and cut back on the liquids called for in the recipe. Thanks for responding. I've left a few comments before asking for help on a couple other blogs but never heard back.
Happy Friday & I hope your babygirl had a WONDERFUL birthday!
