Sounds like you had fun Norma and learned a few things too ! I'm curious which locations pizzas you liked best, but I think I already know
Bob,I did have a lot of fun. I did like the De Lorenzo's at Robbinsville the best. I have no idea how they make pizza that is that good. It almost reminded me a of cracker style crust, but much different. In each bite there was different taste and I really liked that. The bottom of that pie looked burnt in some places, but it sure didn't taste burnt at all.Norma
Yep, that Robbinsville pie looked like a must try to me....I hope I get up that way soon. Glad you had a great time and I hope Trenton Bill behaved himself! j/k
Thats not a grande bag? Sure looks like one to me...Glad you liked the pizza Norma!! I wish I was back home after seeing the pics! Im going back to NJ in Oct and will def be passing through DeLorenzos and Nacys Townehouse in Rahway!
The colors are right but I think the printing/layout if off........can anyone super zoom in on that bag?
The weights of the dough balls that were purchased at the De Lorenzo's on Sloan weighed 11.2 ounces. for the small pizza, or 317 grams, and 16.7 ounces or 473 grams for the large size pizza. Of course there is flour on the dough balls that wasn't weighed. The dough balls are frozen now.
Norma,Thank you for the photos and video. I have been studying them for more clues. However, did you learn anything that we did not previously know as to the Robbinsville location? And from what you could tell, were we wrong in anything that we previously posted? Do you have any other observations worth noting? You mentioned not seeing fermentation bubbles but I wondered if there were other observations of note. One thing that I noticed is that the squeeze bottle oil containers shown in your photos seemed to contain an oil that was lighter in color than in the Robbinsville photos we were previously examined. I also see that Sammy used a metal oil can. His father, Gary, used to do the same. Like father, like son. Peter

No climate change proof offered
In response to Mr. Morrison's 1-28 letter. You got me! Evidently, I am ultra-sensitive, have easily bruised feelings, am associated with the leading climate change deniers and somehow I even am included on their donor list. What you failed to do, was provide any proof that climate change is anything but an unproven theory. You also failed to prove your assertions about me. You did a fine job of twisting my words and pointing out everythig but the facts regarding global warming/climate change. FYI, I cited the OISM as "a" source, as it was compiled into a readable document for non-scientific types. I was not my only source. Maybe you could Google the inventor of the Weather Channel and see what his views are or check on some Wall Street Journal articles on the subject. I really enjoyed reading your attack on the OISM. What I did try was an attempt at dishing out to Mr. Archambeau, what he was dishing out to Mr. Gay. It's just plain wrong to state something as a fact when it is not.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (75 votes).
In short: very well organised, marshalls fantastic. Thank you a great dayDate of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Scenery, sunshine, plenty of support & encouragement. What more could you ask for?Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Hard but worth it.In full: I had only done the Otley 10mi before and thought it couldn't possibly be any harder. I was wrong. So very wrong. There were more ups than downs and the ups went on for ever and ever and ever and ever etc.Faultless organisation and marshalling. The goodie bags contained a mug and some samples. Much more welcomed than the usual cotton t-shirt.Would do again....If I wasn't such a wimp.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: I really enjoy this race. I'll be back next time!In full: The organsiation was absolutely fantastic on this race. I was very impressed. Would be a good race to book your holiday around as it always seems to be warm when this race is run!Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Great race, well organised and friendly but oh those hills...!In full: Really enjoyed this. Lovely sunny weather, great atmosphere and challenging course. This has to be one of my favourite races, will definitely be back next year.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Quite hilly and poor first water stationIn full: A very scenic race on closed roads. The organisation was good other than the first water station which was manned by 1 adult and a child. Hopelessly inadequate and it meant that many, myself included, couldn't get water at that point. Despite knowing most of the route quite well I was still surprised by the number of climbs; not steep but long. Nice mug at the end.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Nice race, faultless organisationDate of review: July 16, 2007
In short: Great 10 milerIn full: This is my local race (walked to the start) which was great, except almost psychologically destroyed at mile 7 when the course switched back away from the finish line for another mile and a half! Banana welcome at the end, and three water stations rather than the typical two for this distance helped in humid conditions. Will be back. Organisation spot on.Date of review: July 16, 2007
In short: Very challenging with seemingly more 'up' than 'down' but encouragement along the way is quite uplifting!In full: My second time around. Slightly slower than last year, I think, but I'm certainly not ranked amongst the elite so an extra minute means nothing compared to the feel good factors that seem to be part and parcel of this event; from the brilliant organisation right through to all the people involved before, after and along the route it is undoubtedly a great experience and has now become my favourite race. I felt that we,the runners, were really cared for, and a special thank you goes to the young girl who was telling everyone 'well done - only a mile and a half to go!' - It certainly encouraged me to put a bit extra in! Date of review: July 16, 2007
In short: second time for me and 'enjoyed' it again!In full: Lovely course. I cannot honestly fault the marshalls or the organisation, truly superb from start to finish.A hard course but a nice part of the world to suffer in!(lucky to live 15 minutes away)Only one tiny gripe - water in cups? Great that there were two water stations but maybe one with bottles would be a consideration next year, as would bottles at the end too.A kit bag and a banana is however is a wonderful change to the standard Tshirt - a really useful race momento.Date of review: July 15, 2007

Skip to comments.DO NOT TAKE THE MICROCHIP!!!
Posted on 10/06/2008 9:14:02 AM PDT by JosephJames
A couple of days ago I sent the following email to everyone that I know.
- - - - - - -
Dear friends,
I hope this email finds you all well.
For many years I have been interested in studying biblical prophesy along with the prophesies of the saints and the writings of scholars of prophesy. There are many people who are not at ease with this topic and do not want to hear anything about it. Many people put these things out of their mind, as something that will happen after they are long gone, and refuse to look at the many signs that are present today; also many Church leaders are very (too!) worried about human respect. It is unfortunate that there are a great number of people and cults today, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormans, that misuse prophesy for there own interests and attention; this misuse of prophesy causes many to reject all prophetical studies.
Recently I found an article on the Internet (http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/microchip.html) that coincided exactly with what I had discovered in my studies. I translated the article into English (attached; http://markbeast.blogspot.com) but my translation is not yet posted on the website: http://www.margheritadigesu.it/index.html. The article is based on the private revelations of a woman in Italy, Margaret of Jesus. I also recently put a summary of my studies on the Internet The Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (http://markbeast.blogspot.com) which is also attached.
It is no secret that the world economy is in pretty bad shape. Recently my bank, Washington Mutual, where I had some money, went down.
If you feel that this is all crazy and that I am totally nuts, I would still urge you to print out a hard copy of these two articles, even if you do not read them now, so that when it all does happen, you will be able to read these articles to have an idea of what is going on, as well as to be able to make the decision that you must make. When it does happen very suddenly, in the confusion, most likely there will not be electricity for some time.
Please communicate this information to everyone you can before it is too late. DO NOT TAKE THE MICROCHIP!!! DO NOT EVER DENY your loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, even if you have to die of starvation!
May God bless you!
Rev. Joseph Dwight
Is your tinfoil on straight?
Bookmarked for later viewing
This is just another part of the puzzle.
Ummm...., "prophesy" is a verb and "prophecy" is a noun...
Didn't your professors in seminary get after you for that??? What seminary was it, by the way?
Mayhaps you should read this part again, while looking in the mirror.
Stopped reading right there.
Before you club him too hard read up on this....
Then get back to me...
Having a microchip installed when not rejecting Christ is not taking the sign of the beast.
When that time comes, the Prophet of the Anti-Christ will not allow you to take the sign of the beast unless you reject Christ.
You said — "I B T Z"
Don't you think that something like this subject can be discussed without being zotted?
What are those chips they put in dogs, and cats made from?
Who wrote this, Dean Koontz?
I suppose I should read it ... just to monitor the noise level. I never cease to be amazed at the hogwash some folks pass off as "biblical prophecy".
Read up on it. They are already doing it. The two princes in England are reportedly chipped. There is a Cincinnati company that has chipped its employees. A Florida family was the first family in America to volunteer to be chipped. It is happening. Don't be so dismissive.
I guess we'll know for sure if Obamassiah is the anti-christ if he unveals a brilliant economic plan to solve the current global financial meltdown and introduces a new one-world currency (tongue only slightly in cheek).
I'm not too worried. The "end" spoken of in the Scriptures came almost 2,000 years ago.
On a side note, you might get a better response if you would proofread before posting. Poor grammar and spelling is distracting.
You said — "Stopped reading right there."
Was it the "Bible" part, or the "prophecy" part or the "studying" part that got you?
I mean, I've been doing all three — since I was in high school and it's been very enlightening over the years (that is the "study", the "Bible" and the "prophecy" part [since the Bible contains about 25% or more dealing with prophecy]).
I may not agree with whatever the poster says, but that doesn't mean I have a problem with "study", "Bible" or "prophecy"....
I don't have a problem with it either. Some folks have a problem distinguishing their paranoid delusions from "biblical prophecy".
or 'accept mohammed'?
Oh no..., people, now we've got a preterist on board...
This will just add to the confusion that drives people crazy when talking about Bible prophecy. It's too bad the preterists are so far off base that they end up confusing everyone else. I think preterists are sent by the Devil (even if preterists do think they are doing God's work) — in order to confuse everyone so much that they don't want to look at Bible prophecy any more... LOL..
I still say that is one of the funniest movies ever.
Good music too.
"Are you logged on?"
Great movie. It's one of those movies you can watch a hundred times.
Another Coen brothers masterpiece.
Intel 4:11 Be not afraid of thy number.
Yep! It's so good, I don't even care that George Clooney's in it!
Keep sounding the call brother. Some will listen.
Nah, we're sent by God to clear everything up :)
That's ok. We Orthodox Preterists hold much the same opinion in respect to Dispensational Premillenialists
I just came back.
I guess I have been in Italy too long. Sorry!
I guess I have been in Italy too long. Sorry!
The Mark could be delivered via microchip. I'm thinking, too, it could be a biometric scan of the eye or a fingerprint—or something not yet in use.
Also, it's not the technology that is bad, it's the system that will be employing it. That system will ask you to deny Christ.
You don't have to actually have a chip inside your body. You can be identified and tracked via the GPS chip that is in your cell phone.
Unless you want to live like some muslim out on the sand and desert, you need this stuff.
But if you and your family is starving to death?
So does that "Microchip" take over what is already in the mind? I do not think so. Not that I advocate the insertion of a "Microchip", but it is NOT the mark of the beast.
After over 20 years in Italy, my English is getting worse. Instead of writing: "But if you and your family is starving to death?" I should have wrote: "But if you and your family are starving to death?"
If you are a Catholic, you might take a look at "The Microchip is the Sign of the Beast of the Book of Revelation" at http://markbeast.blogspot.com.
Not a needle in your eye, just pointing out. Hope you enjoy Italy. Ciao.
I dont need a cell phone. Neither do you.
Not that being Catholic is relevant to this subject, and I have NO clue what Catholics of any stripes believe, and it does not matter what your http: site claims. Those that receive that 'mark' do so willingly, they do not know what the mark is.... now if a supernatural being shows upon this earth how would you know who that entity was. The 'mark' is about counting over a very long period of time..... how many know how to count that number???
The 'mark' is accepted because of lack of knowledge as to what literally the 'mark' is, and who will willingly accept and receive it. It is what you believe and who you believe, not a literal object that is visible.
The Antichrist will be extremely intelligent, charismatic, and everything else. "all the world [wonders] after the Beast" (Rev 13:3-4). It is not Obama. I do not believe that the Antichrist has revealed himself yet.
Regarding the false prophet, it is interesting that St. Hildegard (d. 1179) wrote that when the new Pope is elected immediately before the Antichrist, a cardinal will kill the Pope before he is crowned through jealousy, he wishing to be Pope himself. Then when the other cardinals elect the next Pope this cardinal will proclaim himself (anti) Pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will go with him. She notes that this Antipope as well as the Antichrist are descended from the tribe of Dan. If this private revelation of St. Hildegard turns out to be true, is it possible that this Antipope might be the False Prophet predicted in the book of Revelation (Rev 16:13; 19:20; 20:10; ch. 13 etc.) who will work hand in hand with the first "beast", the antichrist, to subdue the world? This possibility is also clearly indicated by Margaret of Jesus (http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/microchip.html; http://markbeast.blogspot.com).
Time will tell!
That's not the point of this stupid article and you know that. This article is warning people not to "accidentally" take the mark of beast.
The fact that we can imbed a chip into the right hand of a human being that can control whether we can buy or sell should be used as evidence that the prophecies in Revelations are correct and accurate.
But instead we get this paranoid screed about how this technology "is" the mark of the beast.
The truth is this is likely the technology that will be used by the prophet of the antichrist to provide the mark of the beast, but the technology in and of itself is not the mark of the beast.
We should be proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than freaking out and acting like paranoid louts simply because prophecy is being fulfilled... like we claimed we believed anyway.
The fallicy in your argument is that 2/3 of christians are NOT CATHOLIC..so the Pope has no meaning to us, other than the head of Catholic Church. We pray to Jesus directly, and we do not accept anyone else, and we do not pray to Mary. Our faith is a direct faith, so an Antichrist being a Pope would not affect us...it has to be a political leader who has a 'PROPHET', who is religious based...in fact a Pope could not control the computers, buying an selling or preside over a one world gov't.

You bunch of Debbie Downers picking the Lions to win. You should be ashamed.
31 - 21 Steelers lose
Steelers 16
Lions 38
Hope I'm wrong.
Going against the Steelers feels like shorting the stock market or being the annoying guy that bets the don't pass line on the craps table. It might be the smart thing to do, but it just doesn't compute in my head as a fan?
38 - 14 Lions... Megatron and Bush just too dynamic for our aged defense... wish I could say otherwise.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.
On paper, their D-line and Megatron will shred us. Luckily the game isn't played on paper and the Steelers win, 27-20.
23-17 Steelers. Lock it in!

GSI attends ASCO
|Posted by Julie Royster (jroyster) on Jun 21 2006
|GIST In the News >>
Three members of GIST Support International attended the meeting of ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in Atlanta June 2-6, 2006. Karen Loomis, Leslie Norman, MD, and Paul Rubin, MD volunteered their time to navigate the huge and hectic convention. Jim Loomis, Karen's husband, also gave his time to go. They heard lectures, spent time in poster sessions discussing esearch with poster presenters, collected information in the exhibit hall, and walked a least a marathon in the process. Karen and Jim handled distribution of GSI literature and copies of the DVD about targeted cancer therapy featuring GSI GIST patient Marina Symcox.
Many thanks to our dedicated ASCO team!
ASCO changed its policy in 2006, and the webcasts of taped sessions will not be available for public view until September. You can still go to www.asco.org to read abstracts before then.

A Spotlight on Calgary's Cultural Ambassadors:
Gisele Danis & Royce Chwin
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel, was developed to enhance the recognition of Calgary's burgeoning cultural scene and to bring appreciation to arts and culture in Calgary.
Fashion Calgary collaborates with many different Calgarians in various fields to determine what culture means to them and why Calgary is such a cultural city. Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 discovered many exceptional Calgarians and leaders within the community and have selected them to be this year's ambassadors.
One of those ambassadors is Gisele Danis, a born and raised Calgarian. Gisele has always shown an appreciation for her city and, naturally, promoted it. She was once a former torch bearer for Calgary's 1988 Olympic Winter Games and also performed across Canada as a "Young Canadian of the Calgary Stampede."
Gisele's remarkable career, in journalism and marketing, includes working for CBC, The Walt Disney Company, Parks Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commision and now Tourism Calgary. Although she has travelled abroad, she came back to live in Calgary, the city she loves and the city she calls home.
Gisele believes Calgary is a dynamic city that people are still discovering. Whether it's the vibrant and ever-growing dining scene, the many unexplored bike trails or the grassroots and undergound arts and culture scene, there is always something new to experience in Calgary.
Another ambassador is Royce Chwin. Royce is an accomplished marketer with experience in retail, hospitality and tourism. Royce, who is now with Travel Alberta, has previously worked for the Canadian Tourism Commission and big brands such as Starbucks and Boston Pizza International.
Royce, having moved from Vancouver, now resides in Calgary. He is constantly promoting both the city and the province, and it's not just because he's the CMO of Travel Alberta. Royce believes that Alberta is dynamic, and that the energetic Calgary is a part of the fabric that makes Alberta such an amazing province.

View their thoughts on arts and culture in Calgary in the video below.
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 - Interview with Gisele Danis & Royce Chwin by Ania Basak from Fashion Calgary on Vimeo.
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel. Basak and Wegiel are devoted to diligently raising the profile of arts and fashion in Calgary though innovative measures and grass roots methods.
In 2012, the campaign featured "the ambassadors" who represented various fields related to culture by presenting their portraits together with their own expressions about the meaning of culture in their life. The completion of Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2012 was the Gala event, created to celebrate its success in establishing Calgary as a cultural centre.

Oral Question Period
2:50 p.m.
York Centre
Art Eggleton Minister for International Trade
Mr. Speaker, any measure by the United States to unilaterally change the rules of NAFTA will be met with resistance and the appropriate response.
We have successfully negotiated through NAFTA an agreement relevant to wool suits. It is one which we paid the price for at the time. We are acting completely within our rights and obligations under NAFTA and I would expect the United States would as well.
In addition to that, even though we have been quite successful in moving wool suits from $5.6 million to $112 million in just five years, there still is a billion dollar trade surplus the United States has with us in terms of textiles and apparel. Therefore in addition to that, there is no cause for complaint.
Canadian National
Oral Question Period
2:50 p.m.
Michel Guimond Beauport—Montmorency—Orléans, QC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
The salary of CN president Paul Tellier was set by Ottawa at $350,000 annually for the years 1993-1995. Mr. Tellier also benefited from a generous mortgage loan from CN. Now, according to documents released a few days ago by CN, it appears that Mr. Tellier also received the sizeable amount of $200,000 in bonuses.
In these times of budget restrictions for CN, which eliminated over 11,000 jobs, how could the government agree, before privatization, to such generous bonuses to someone already earning a more than decent salary?
Canadian National
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
David Anderson Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the compensation of senior public servants and people in the private sector is not normally a matter to be discussed in the House.
The important matter which I think must be borne in mind by members on all sides of the House is to make sure that for our major corporations we get the most competent people possible.
I would suggest to the hon. member that as CN is in the process of being totally privatized, it perhaps would be inappropriate at this point for us to comment upon his salary as president of a private corporation.
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
John Cummins Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, the fisheries minister's west coast plan will take 50 per cent of the fleet away from B.C. fishermen. At the same time the Nisga'a treaty and other commercial sales agreements could transfer as much as 50 per cent of the commercial catch to natives.
How can the minister possibly justify a 50 per cent reduction in the fleet, one that fishermen will pay dearly for, and at the very same time a 50 per cent reallocation of the commercial catch to native fisheries?
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Newfoundland & Labrador
Fred Mifflin Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, first of all the hon. member has some of his facts wrong.
In the sense of the commercial fishery and the 50 per cent reduction, we may not be able to achieve that in the short term. The maximum we could achieve is around 40 per cent through a series of licensing restrictions, licence stacking and voluntary buy back.
From the round table discussion which stemmed from the report, my understanding is that the seiners wanted it around 30 per cent, the gill net representatives wanted it between 30 and 35 per cent and the trawlers wanted it between 25 and 50 per cent. What we are doing in this case is we are representing essentially what the industry has asked for.
With respect to the Nisga'a the hon. member is totally wrong. The maximum number involved is around 25 per cent. This is done with the agreement of most of the parties involved. The Nisga'a have been negotiating for over 100 years and we have finally come to an agreement. I do not think it is right for the hon. member to try to throw off this very honourable agreement in principle on the basis of information which is not based on fact.
Workplace Health And Safety
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Svend Robinson Burnaby—Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Labour.
Yesterday people across Canada marked the national day of mourning for persons killed or injured at the workplace.
Will the minister assure the House that he will reverse the recent cuts in resources for enforcement of part II of the Canada Labour Code and instead significantly strengthen enforcement, particularly in light of the study by his own official, Henry Nur, which documents a direct link between decreased enforcement and increased injury and death at the workplace?
Workplace Health And Safety
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Alfonso Gagliano Minister of Labour and Deputy Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, yesterday was the national day of mourning on which I made a statement in the House on Friday. A number of union leaders and I were not far away from the House commemorating this important and historic day, which 10 years ago Parliament decreed would be the day every year we would remember those people who have lost their lives in the workplace.
The labour program is reviewing part II of the Canada Labour Code which concerns health and safety. A group is working together and has reached a consensus on 90 per cent of the issues. We hope that before the end of the year we can amend part II of the code so that health and safety will also be enforced.
Law Of The Sea Convention
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Charles Caccia Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The law of the sea convention is designed to protect the world's fisheries and stop the pollution of oceans. Eighty-three states have already ratified the law of the sea. In the throne speech the government states its intent to follow suit.
Given the importance of this piece of international law, can the minister indicate when Canada will ratify it?
Law Of The Sea Convention
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Winnipeg South Centre
Lloyd Axworthy Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member clearly points out, it is a priority for the government. We have established it as a major international commitment.
At the same time, it is very important that we work toward a ratification of the straddling stocks agreements by all countries included so that the two can work hand in hand to not only provide protection for the broader ocean itself but to ensure Canada receives the kind of protection of its conservation of fish resources that was established so effectively by the minister of fisheries last year and continued by his successor this year.

April 29th, 1996 / 3 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I submit two petitions to the House today.
The first petition comes from Peterborough, Ontario. The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that managing the family home and caring for preschool children is an honourable profession which has not been recognized for its value to our society.
The petitioners therefore pray and call on Parliament to pursue initiatives to eliminate tax discrimination against families that decide to provide care in the home for preschool children, the disabled, the chronically ill or the aged.
Routine Proceedings
3 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second petition comes from Sarnia, Ontario.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that consumption of alcoholic beverages may cause health problems or impair one's ability and specifically that fetal alcohol syndrome and other alcohol related birth defects are 100 per cent preventable by avoiding alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
The petitioners therefore pray and call on Parliament to enact legislation to require health warning labels to be placed on the containers of all alcoholic beverages to caution expectant mothers and others of the risks associated with alcohol consumption.
Routine Proceedings
3 p.m.
Jim Jordan Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from my constituents in places like Brockville, Prescott and Spencerville. These people are asking the government not to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act or the charter of rights and freedoms by including in the prohibited grounds of discrimination the undefined phrase sexual orientation.
Questions On The Order Paper

USAV Announces Preliminary World League Roster
B.J. Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. (April 9, 2009) – USA Volleyball has announced the 22-person preliminary roster that it has submitted for the 2009 FIVB World League men's tournament.
The roster will be cut to 19 players by April 30. New U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) and his staff will pick 12 players from that group of 19 to play each weekend in World League.
Knipe, who is currently the head coach for Long Beach State's men's volleyball program, will not officially join the U.S. Men's Team until the end of the 2008-09 collegiate season. However he was involved with the roster decisions along with former U.S. Men's Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon, Assistant Coach Ron Larsen and Marv Dunphy, a former national team head coach and current men's coach at Pepperdine who served as a consultant coach for the 2008 U.S. Men's Olympic Volleyball Team.
"It was an interesting process considering I haven't had the opportunity to be in a training environment with some of these guys," Knipe said. "But I am familiar with all of them and I had a lot of quality input from some coaches that have had the opportunity to spend some extended time with the team. I like the group that we have selected."
The roster is highlighted by eight returning players from the 2008 U.S. Men's National Team that won World League and the Olympic gold medal.
Those returning players are setter Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.), middle blocker and team captain Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.), libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.), middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.), outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas), opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) and outside hitter Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.).
Hoff has played in the last three Olympics. Salmon and Stanley have played in the last two.
Setter Lloy Ball (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and opposite Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) have retired from the U.S. Men's Team. Middle blocker Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) and outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) are taking the summer off from indoor volleyball competition.
Among other returning players, opposite Brook Billings (Santa Barbara, Calif.) played in the 2004 Olympic Games, where the U.S. Men placed fourth, and played pool play matches for the United States in the 2006-08 World Leagues.
Setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) played in the 2004 Olympic Games and in the 2006 World League. But he has missed the last two seasons after injuring his Achilles tendon early in 2007.
Middle blocker Delano Thomas (Sacramento, Calif.) also played in 2008 World League pool play matches for the United States.
The other 11 players on the preliminary roster are recent college standouts who have seen international competition within the U.S. national program and/or while playing in international leagues.
"As we're entering Year 1 of the quad (Olympic quadrennial), the natural progression is the reverse funnel effect," Knipe said. "We're bringing in a lot of guys at the beginning to see how they do at a higher level of international competition. We're going to see how we can add to our core group."
The FIVB World League is an exciting elite men's volleyball competition in which the world's best teams are divided into four pools and play for six straight weekends from June 12 to July 18. Winners from each pool will qualify for the final round on July 22-26 in Belgrade, Serbia, along with the host country and a pick from among the second-place teams in pool play.
The total World League prize purse is more than $20 million, with the winning team collecting a prize of more than $1 million.
U.S. fans can watch Team USA play live in World League matches in San Jose, Calif. (June 26-27 versus China), Hoffman Estates, Ill. (July 10-11 versus Italy) and Wichita, Kan. (July 17-18 versus Netherlands).

TIme again for the MattHughes.com UFC rankings
Ok people its that time again to do the rankings for the UFC. Due to the recent Machida vs Shogun Rule there has been a change in the rules so I will go over them again
1. The rankings are for HW, LHW, MW, WW and LW for the UFC
2. Anyone can vote
3. You dont have to do rankings for each weight class but if you choose to do rankings for a weight class you must rank 10 fighters (and no you cant rank a fighter more than once per weight class)
4. What weight class you rank a fighter in is up to you. If a fighter is fighting in 2 weight classes feel free to rank him in both.
5. If it looks like you are trying to tank the rankings I will not count you rankings. By this I mean if you decide to leave a Champ off your rankings or your rankings for a weight class consist of all the fighters from last season of TUF I will not count your rankings.
6. Due to the Machida vs Shogun fight the champs no longer have to be ranked #1 in the div.
I think thats all the rules, if I think of more I will add them.

Police use taser on suspect at Wal-Mart
NEW ULM – A 23-year-old New Ulm man remains in the Brown County Jail, facing felony violation of an Order for Protection and gross misdemeanor obstructing the legal process after police chased him and a 21-year-old New Ulm woman Saturday evening at the local Wal-Mart.
According to the complaint, New Ulm Police were at Wal-Mart investigating a theft at about 8 p.m. Saturday when they observed a male and female wearing hooded jackets with hoods up. They saw the officer, turned and walked away quickly, in a zig-zag pattern, between aisles, to avoid being followed.
Police recognized the man as Xavier L. Heeder, who had an active arrest warrant, as did the woman, Megan S. Hoffmann, 21. The officer confronted Heeder and Hoffmann before they ran away separately.
Police caught Hoffmann and were arresting her when she yelled "Xavier, help me." Heeder stopped and ran towards an officer who drew his taser and fired it at Heeder. The taser hit him in the left arm and chest when he was 5 to 10 feet away. Hoffmann got away in the scuffle.
The officer radioed for assistance and later arrested Heeder and transported him to the New Ulm Medical Center to deal with taser probes. After Heeder was medically cleared, he was taken to jail.
A record review showed Heeder was convicted of 5th degree assault on Nov. 20, 2008 in Brown County Court and violation of an Order for Protection on Oct. 7, 2013. Both convictions are qualified domestic violence-related offenses.
Heeder's awaits court dates to face the two charges from the New Ulm Police arrest. He also faces a failure to appear charge after he was earlier arrested by the Brown County Sheriff's Office and a felony probation violation in Nicollet County.
Hoffmann remains in the Brown County Jail, awaiting a court date after turning herself in Sunday evening. Her bail for a probation violation charge was set at $150,000.

A yet another company seems to be getting out of premium wide-screen 13" notebooks segment after Dell and Lenovo. According to media reports, Apple is wrapping up its Macbook Air 13" in favour of a smaller model.
Laptops in 13" form-factors pose a number of advantages compared to both 12" and 14"/15" notebooks. For example, Lenovo Thinkpad X301 with 1440x900 screen resolution and a DVD drive provided better user experience that the vast majority of 12" and 14" notebooks while being very slim and generally smaller than any 14" machine. However, it came at a too far premium price since models like X301 feature a plethora of first-class capabilities.
Unfortunately, it looks like the end of premium 13" laptops is near. Lenovo has scrapped the X3-series with optical drive. Dell Adamo XPS, which was among the slimmest notebooks on the market, eventually appeared as a proof of engineering and is not currently available widely. Original Dell Adamo that used to cost around $1500 is now available for some $899 in U.S. Dell online store. According to a report, Apple Macbook Air will be another victim of the trend.
According to AppleInsider web-site, supplies of Apple's MacBook Air have dried up throughout indirect sales channels, something that seems to be "abnormal trend in regards to the Macbook Air since it began tracking availability" of Apple's Mac line since 2008. Generally, it is believed that Apple preps a Macbook Air in 11.6" form-factor, an iPad with a keyboard as some would said, to compete for very mobile customers with text.
Although a lot of executives do only text, spreadsheet or presentation work, many need additional comfort and functionality, which does include security along with reliability and multimedia. Something, that is packed by a Thinkpad X301/X200-series. Although dropping the 13" market will be a temporal defeat from Apple, it is absolutely likely that the company will come out with a new small form-factor notebook sooner than everyone would think.
Numerous companies will continue to sell consumer notebooks at consumer prices with 13" form-factor.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

Travel scammers sent packing in international sweep, AG Cooper says
Travel scammers sent packing in international sweep, AG Cooper says
Release date: 6/6/2013
North Carolina joins in multi-state, multi-national bust of travel scams
: As the busy summer travel season gets underway, Attorney General Roy Cooper today joined with law enforcement and consumer protection officials from around the world to go after travel scammers, including one that operated in North Carolina.
The international sweep coordinated by the US
Federal Trade Commission
190 actions
taken by 28 states and eight other countries. Among the actions is a
filed by Cooper against East Coast Travel, A-2-Z Vacations, Millennium Travel and Promotions, Smart Travel & Incentives and their managers and operators.
"We're joining with our consumer protection partners around the world to send travel scammers packing," Cooper said. "Don't let your enthusiasm for a good deal on a summer vacation lead you to fall for a travel scam."
As alleged in Cooper's complaint filed as part of the sweep, North Carolina consumers received mailers from East Coast Travel that claimed the consumers had been selected to receive a cruise or two roundtrip airlines tickets. Consumers who responded were told they had to attend a travel presentation at a hotel in Durham or Chapel Hill or at a shopping center in Apex in order to claim their free trip. The presentation turned out to be a high-pressure sales pitch for a travel club, A-2-Z Vacations, that misrepresented the company's credentials and partners and the amount that it could save consumers on travel expenses.
According to consumers who complained to Cooper's Consumer Protection Division, people who joined A-2-Z and tried to take advantage of the promised discounts found that they could get better rates on their own than through the travel club. Consumers also complained that the vacation certificates for "free" travel they received for attending the sales presentation were almost impossible to redeem. The vacation certificates, provided by Millennium Travel and Smart Travel, included so many blackout dates that consumers were left with few dates to travel. Consumers were even required to pay a deposit on their supposedly free trip.
A total of 13 consumers complained to Cooper's office about the scheme. Victims paid between $2,600 and $6,600 for the travel club membership, and most who contacted Cooper's office have gotten their money back.
Cooper alleges that the scheme violated state laws on consumer protection and discount buying clubs. He's asking the court to bar the defendants from ever operating a similar scheme in North Carolina again and seeking cancellation of all travel club contracts signed by North Carolinians and refunds for those consumers.
"A trip isn't really free if you have to buy something to get it," Cooper said. "Be skeptical of anyone who uses a so-called prize or gift to try to lure you into buying a travel club membership that probably won't live up to your expectations."
To help consumers avoid scams and get better deals on travel, Cooper's office has created a special
travel tips
section at
. The tips cover travel clubs and vacation offers as well as timeshares, time share resales, vacation rentals and more.
Cooper also issued an
today that will go directly to thousands of North Carolina consumers, putting them on guard about travel scams and making them aware of the travel tips available at
. In addition, Cooper will send out a
to newspapers across the state, warning that offers of free trips usually come with strings attached.
To check out a travel company or file a complaint against one, consumers can call1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within state. Consumers can also
file a complaint online

So you want to be a baby sitter?
The Columbus Dispatch - April 05, 2013 02:09 PM
By Elizabeth SanFilippo
Allowance not cutting it anymore? Are your parents after you to learn about responsibility and get a job? Baby-sitting could be the answer.
Baby-sitting is a great job — especially for teenagers. You can make some cash while looking after and playing with kids. You've probably had to watch your little brother or cousin before anyway. Why not do the same thing and get paid for it!
Although being a baby sitter can be fun, you do have to be serious about it. It's a real job and the parents are trusting you with their kids. Plus, you need to ask your parents about taking on the job.
Harriet Brown, author of The Babysitter's Handbook, Dr. Danette Glassy, an expert on early education and child care, and Halley Bondy, author of Don't Sit on the Baby!: The Ultimate Guide to Sane, Skilled, and Safe Babysitting, offer a step-by-step guide to how to become a great baby sitter.
1. Check Your Schedule
Before you even think about baby-sitting, look at your schedule. Is baby-sitting realistic?
"If you're up to your neck in extracurricular activities from morning until night seven days a week, you probably won't be of much use to families," Bondy says. "Figure out when and if you're free to babysit, so you can give a clear, accurate schedule to the families you want to work with."
2. Learn about Child Care and Safety
Now take some classes that will help you learn the babysitting ropes. All three experts advise potential sitters to take a baby-sitter training course and learn CPR and first aid. They're usually cheap and short, so definitely worth it!
Several organizations offer training. For information, visit www.redcross.com, www.nationwidechildrens.org and www.safesiter.org, to name a few.
Another bonus of taking classes? You can earn even more money as a baby sitter! 80 percent of parents think that teenage baby sitters should be paid more if they are trained in first aid, CPR and child care, according to a survey from the Red Cross.
3. Do a Safety Check
Because safety is so important when you're watching kids, it gets two steps!
Before you even think about babysitting a child, make sure you know what to do in an emergency situation such as:
* The child is choking
* The child gets a minor scrape or cut
* The child falls on his bike and hits his head
* You get locked out of the house
* There's a fire
* A burglar breaks in
* The child runs off
4. Start Slowly
You don't have to jump right into watching strangers' kids.
"For resume-building and practice on real kids, offer to baby sit your family members' and neighbors' kids," suggests Bondy. "If you're brand-new to sitting, you'll want to have adult supervision at first, and eventually you can segue to real sitting for pay."
5. Determine Your Rate
The most important part: money. How much should you charge for baby-sitting?
Some families might want to give you a crazy low amount — after all, that's what they used get paid when they babysat 20 years ago. Don't fall for it. If you're responsible, experienced and trained in safety, you can ask for more.
Your price also changes depending on how many kids you're watching, how old they are (younger kids need more hands-on attention), if you'll be playing with them the entire time or if it's nighttime and they're sleeping.
"Use your judgment, and talk to a parent or trusted adult to figure out a solid rate," Bondy suggests. You can negotiate with families, but it helps to have a starting figure in mind.
6. Spread the Word
Now that you're ready to start, you actually need kids to baby sit for. Let friends, family, and neighbors know you want to baby sit. With your parent's permission, put a notice on community boards where parents often are, such as the grocery store, library and pediatrician's office.
"Tell all the adults you know and trust that you're looking for baby-sitting work — your parents' friends, your aunt, your neighbors, your tutors, your soccer coach — everyone is a potential dollar sign," suggests Bondy.
7. Interview Safely
When you find a job, the parents will probably want to interview you — either over the phone or in person. Before talking to someone you don't know, make sure your own parents know all the details about the job and who you're interviewing with. If something seems odd, tell your folks immediately. You need to stay safe, too!
When you interview with a family, tell your parents when the interview is scheduled for, where you're going and the names/address of the parents. Ask them to drive you to the interview and wait outside. Or call them as soon as it's over.
8. Plan Activities
Once you land that baby-sitting job, you're not done yet. Think about what you'll do with the kids to keep them entertained.
"Ask the parents what kinds of activities their child likes to do ahead of time, so you can prepare for that," Dr. Glassy recommends. "Think about whether the activities you're planning are age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate."
Then run the activities by the parents. "Always do what the parents instructed," Dr. Glassy says. "Come to the job with some suggestions for activities, or take books to share with the children. Be sure to ask the parents if they think these might be fun for their child."
9. Be Prompt
Show off how professional you are by arriving on time. This shows you respect the parents' schedule and you're reliable. If soccer practice is running a few minutes late, make sure you call the family and let them know.
But "don't cancel at the last minute," warns Brown. Word will spread with local parents (they all talk!) that you're unreliable and you can say goodbye to your baby-sitting career.
10. Put Your Phone Away
"Young children can get into dangerous or deadly situations very quickly, so a baby sitter must not be distracted by socializing while on-duty: no texting, no Facebooking or Internet/email/Twitter-checking, no personal phone calls (and) no personal visits from friends," says Dr. Glassy.
Besides, your friends will be impressed later when you tell them you couldn't talk or text back because "you're working."
11. Clean Up
One thing all three experts agree on: if you want to impress the parents, tidy up before they return. It will really show off how responsible you are. If the house got messy during your Lego building or that action figure battle, make sure all toys are put away before bedtime.
12. Go the Extra Mile
How do you make sure the parents will call you again? "Be organized," Brown suggests. "Tell the parents how your time with the kids went and anything they might need or want to know about it."
"Most parents are content when you show up on time, have a positive attitude and follow their rules — so if you arrive at the first gig with a thousand bells and whistles, you might overwhelm the parents and the kids," Bondy says. "Over time, however, you can show the parents that you're really invested in the job by repeating things the kids told you, by showing up with activities you know they will love or by offering ideas for future outings — these are sincere efforts, not forced ones."

City manager interviews begin in April
ALPENA – The end of the business day Friday was the deadline for interested people to submit their applications for the city manager position. According to Mayor Matt Waligora nearly two dozen people have applied for the position which became available after former City Manager Thad Taylor was released from his contract without cause.
Taylor's termination set off a chain of events that brought about the recall of former Councilmen Mike Nunneley and Dave Karschnick. Alpena Planning and Development Director Greg Sundin has served as interim manager while the council set the stage for a new hire. Sundin has submittted an application and expressed interest in the job.
Waligora said he spoke with consultant Frank Walsh Friday afternoon and was told more than 20 applications were received with several hours remaining in the day. Waligora said Walsh was pleased with the response and will begin to sort through the resumes to find people the council may find suitable. Waligora said council will not go through all of the applications and will allow Walsh to do the preliminary selection.
"What he will do is go through the applications and weed some of them out," Waligora said. "He will then compile a short list of candidates and forward it to the council in time for its April 1 meeting. We will then discuss the candidates and narrow it down to the four we will interview."
Waligora said the agreement with Walsh instructs him to sort through the applications and make recommendations. He said council can, however, get all of the applications if it so chooses. Waligora said the consultant is a professional who handles matters of this nature daily and the council trusts him to eliminate people who don't fit what the city is looking for. He said Walsh was given a list of criteria of what the council wants in its new manager.
"We hired the consultant for a purpose and we trust him to go through and weed out those who don't qualify," Waligora said. "He knows precisely what we are looking for, but if we request all of the applications to review ourselves we can get them. I don't think that is necessary though."
Waligora said once the field is narrowed down to four potential candidates during the council's regular meeting on April 1 and interviews will be conducted during a pair of special meetings to be held later in the month. The first special meeting is scheduled for April 13, and the second on April 20. Waligora said it was decided to hold the meetings on Saturdays so the candidates will not have to miss any work should they already be employed. A final decision on who is selected to be the new full-time city manager is expected to be announced during the council's regular meeting in April 22.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Crystal Falls woman to face murder charges in Cook County
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – A Crystal Falls woman is facing a cold case murder charge out of Cook County, Illinois for the 1979 death of commodities broker Carl Gaimari.
Jacquelyn Greco, 66, appeared in Iron County Trial Court on Monday to waive extradition to Illinois.
She had been incarcerated in the Iron County Jail since her arrest on March 28. Initially, Greco had elected to fight extradition.
After the hearing on Monday, officials from the village of Inverness, Ill. arrived to take Greco into custody.
Mike Kirby of the Inverness Police Department confirmed that Greco is facing charges for the April 30, 1979 murder of Carl Gaimari.
Since the investigation is ongoing, Kirby was unable to release any additional information.
A May 2, 1979 edition of The Daily Herald newspaper out of Arlington Heights, Ill. states that Gaimari, a 34-year-old Chicago Board of Trade commodities broker, was killed during an apparent home invasion.
Investigators at the time believed that two masked men entered Gaimari's Inverness home, tied up and locked Gaimari's wife and two young children in a closet, and waited for Gaimari to return home from work.
The men then shot Gaimari multiple times in the chest with his own guns, The Daily Herald reported.
Gaimari's teenage daughter later discovered her father deceased in the basement, and her mother and siblings locked in the closet.
The Daily Herald lists Gaimari's wife's name as Jacqueline Gaimari.
Gaimari's name also came up in a more recent story, in which one of his former business associates was caught living under a stolen identity.
A July 23, 2011 Chicago Tribune story states that Arthur Jones, who was also on the Chicago Board of Trade, disappeared in 1979 days after Gaimari's death.
He reportedly had gambling problems and was nervous after Gaimari was killed.
Jones was declared legally dead in 1986.
However, Jones was found in Las Vegas in 2011 and was arrested for charges of burglary, identity theft, and fraud.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Jones was ordered to serve three years of probation and pay restitution to the Social Security Administration and his identity theft victim.

Winter 2001
Volume 5 Number 2
by Barbara A. Chaapel
When Patricio Proaño left his home in Quito in 1977 to study at Princeton Seminary, he had no idea that twenty years later he would begin the first Christian university in Ecuador.
"I was just a 'little pastor' [the way Ecuadorans refer to lay pastors] and worked as a photographer to pay the bills," he explains. Though the United Evangelical Church of Ecuador, born in the missionary movement, ministered to the small Protestant population of Ecuador, its pastors seldom had theological training.
The dream of one man changed that.
Unsinkable, Proaño started again. This time his vision was for a Christian undergraduate university that would include theological training. The Protestant church in Latin America was growing, and 1996 would mark the 100th anniversary of its formal presence in Ecuador. After several starts and stops, with waning commitment from ecumenical leaders who had at first been enthusiastic, Proaño gathered three friends in 1995. They began asking high school students questions: Would you be interested in a Christian university? Would your parents send you to one? What would you study? Would you be interested in working in the church?
The small research project netted support, enthusiasm, prayers. With now a group of sixteen leaders from other institutions, on April 15, 1996, Proaño inaugurated "by faith" the Universidad Cristiana Latino-americana (Latin American Christian University in Ecuador).
"By October 1996 we had 120 students and twelve teachers," Proaño says. Hard work and intricate legal steps over the next four years resulted in the university's legalization by the state on March 15, 2000, with Proaño as its first president.
The university has nine academic programs (biomedics, computer science, psychology, theology, business administration, tourism, graphic design, and communications) and 1200 students (all commuters) and inhabits a building given by the United Evangelical Church as well as a ten-story hotel it is renting to buy.
And Proaño isn't done yet. "Our goal is 5000 students in three years, and branch campuses to join the main campus in Quito," he says.
For that, his years at Princeton Seminary were a model.
"Learning was exciting at Princeton," Proaño remembers. "Liberation theology was brand new and the three of us from Latin America kept pushing our fellow students and the faculty to discuss it. James Cone's first book came out while I was in seminary, and feminist theology was beginning. I studied at Princeton with Gustavo Gutiérrez, and heard Moltmann lecture on the theology of hope. After the lecture, his first questioners were the Latin Americans. We wanted to know what hope meant in social and political terms, in real life."
Proaño and his contemporaries "pushed the question of the poor," admittedly a "hard thing to do in Princeton," he says. "But we saw our role as making people reflect about the world perspective, about how what they were studying in the classroom related to their responsibility as world citizens and Christians."
These are not just words to Patricio Proaño. Each degree program at his university takes five years and includes required community service. Students work as volunteers with NGOs while they read books and take exams.
Proaño believes education is the key to his nation's future. "Public education, along with the economy, is in crisis in Ecuador," he explains. "Political instability leads to corruption. I want the values of higher education to be Christian values, and so we teach leadership, ethics, and philosophy in all nine of our schools."
Proaño's vision is nothing less than educating a group of intellectual Christian men and women to help lead his nation. "I hope that our graduates will one day change Ecuador. I hope they will learn that power struggles about money lead to corruption, and that they must do battle with the corruption and injustice in our culture."

IPv6 Security: Problem Child Or Opportunity to Improve?
We see security as a major stumbling block in enterprise migrations from IPv4 to IPv6. For starters, the code is mostly untested, and too few of our current network security products support IPv6, something the black hat community is banking on. And there's widespread confusion—the idea that some characteristics of IPv6 make it intrinsically more secure than IPv4 is, sadly, just plain false, and information security teams are largely in the dark on how to help their companies safely transition.
Consider the "NAT-bashing" slide, a fixture in IPv6 presentations. Presenters gleefully list all the reasons why Network Address Translation is evil and explain how an abundance of IPv6 addresses will finally let us eliminate what was always supposed to be a temporary address-conservation kludge and get back to a true peer-to-peer Internet. High-fives ensue.
Except, IT security professionals don't share the enthusiasm. Let's face it, IPv6 idealists can wave their fists at NAT all they want, but there are legitimate concerns about losing the ability to shield internal address schemes.In this Strategy report, we look into the new security reality as enterprises phase out IPv4.

This month, we sat down with five small builders— Bill Crook, Chihoe Hahn, Rick Kelly, Ron Kirn and Jay Monterose—who all specialize in Tele-style guitars, and asked them about their approach to building and just what separates their guitars from the rest. And even though Tele-style guitars are fairly straightforward in nature, we found five different answers, each with their own dream of the ideal Tele-style guitar. So whether you're looking for an "art-quality" instrument to call your number one, or you just need another Tele to fill out your closet, we're betting you'll find a builder here to call.

HONG KONG (AP) Hong Kong deported three Chinese pro-democracy activists based in the United States after denying them entry to the territory, a local lawmaker said Thursday.
Yang Jianli, Wang Min and Zhou Jian arrived Wednesday at Hong Kong airport ahead of a conference in Taiwan but were not allowed to enter, opposition lawmaker Albert Ho told The Associated Press.
Ho said immigration authorities did not explain why they denied the activists entry and he wasn't sure if the activists had planned to protest in Hong Kong. The city is hosting the Olympic equestrian events.
"They may have been planning to take action related to the Olympics," Ho said.
Zhou was deported to the U.S., Wang to Taiwan and Yang was being sent to New York via Tokyo, Ho said.
Yang, a Chinese citizen with a U.S. green card, only returned to the U.S. last year after serving a five-year prison term in China on charges of spying for Taiwan and entering the country illegally.
Wang is a U.S. citizen, which should entitle him to 90 days' visa-free access to Hong Kong. Ho said he wasn't clear on Zhou's citizenship.
The trio were allowed to enter Hong Kong in the past, Ho said.
Hong Kong, a former British colony now ruled by China, is supposed to guarantee Western-style civil liberties such as freedom of expression, but the government has apparently tightened controls because of the Olympics.
On Friday, activists said Hong Kong immigration officials at the airport detained two ethnic Chinese pro-democracy activists en route to Japan for a conference from Frankfurt, Germany.
In May, Hong Kong immigration officials turned back pro-Tibet activists who flew into the territory before its leg of the Olympic torch relay. Pro-democracy lawmakers also complained that police officers removed a pro-Tibet protester during the relay.
At a news conference for the equestrian event Thursday, Hong Kong Secretary for Security Ambrose Lee declined comment on the pro-democracy activists reportedly deported Wednesday.
Lee said the government values freedom of speech but warned potential protesters against disrupting the Olympic equestrian event. He said the government has set up protest areas near the competition venues.
"I think all Chinese, including the Chinese in Hong Kong, hope the Olympics are a success, so our policy is that we don't want to see people come to Hong Kong to damage the dignity of the Olympics and disrupt any Olympic events," Lee said.

Extension agricultural programs are focused on improving efficiency and competitiveness of commercial animal agriculture. Extension faculty provide useful, research-based information to effectively address clientele needs. Applied research and educational programs that contribute to the economic viability of Oregon are emphasized.
The Livestock/Dairy/Forages Program builds public awareness of the economic, social and environmental benefits of agriculture. Educational programs for livestock and dairy producers include information on production, management, and pasture and grazing management.
Local Extension agents collaborate with campus-based faculty, other county agents, local farmers/ranchers, and allied industry to delivery information of mutual interest and benefit.
There are 26,400 head of beef cattle in Coos and Curry counties, and 33,200 head of sheep. More than 88,000 acres of hill land are used for grazing cattle and sheep, and much of that land has been improved to some extent.
