1. Three months after 28-year-old Alfred Wright's mutilated body was found in a field in Sabine, Texas, the Justice Department has picked up the case.
2. When he was found on Nov. 25, the physical therapist's body was missing his tongue, an ear and some teeth, and his throat was slit. He was in his boxers, and his belongings were scattered about.
3. But the medical examiner chalked up the trauma to "animal and insect activity" and labeled the death accidental.
A second autopsy the family commissioned from Dr. Lee Ann Grossberg showed "a high index of suspicion that this is a homicide," she said.
The coroner's toxicology report also said that Wright's body had signs of cocaine, meth, and amphetamines, and ruled the death "accidental" due to a "combined drug intoxication."
4. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee reached out to the Justice Department to take on the case, after Wright's family came to her for help.
Writing to Attorney General Eric Holder, Jackson Lee pointed out that Jasper, where Wright is from, was the location of the 1998 death of James Byrd. Byrd, a black man, had been strapped to a car by three white men and dragged for three miles until he was decapitated.
"This case appears to bear the indicia of a suspicious crime in which an African-American male is yet again the victim of an act of lethal violence," she wrote.
Jackson Lee added, "Despite credible and overwhelming evidence to the contrary, local law enforcement officials ruled the death … as 'accidental' and ceased their investigation. Equally troubling is the fact that one of the last persons to see Alfred Wright alive is a Sabine County law enforcement officer … who, according to the Wright family, has yet to be questioned fully by investigators."
5. Wright, the older brother of American Idol finalist Savion Wright, had encountered car trouble on his way to a physical therapy session the day he disappeared, and pulled into a grocery store.
Wright had given his wife, Lauren, directions to the store, and since their two young sons were sick, her parents set out to meet him, but he had disappeared shortly before they arrived. His truck was still in the parking lot.
"The last time I called him, I just heard heavy breathing," Lauren said. "He was in distress of some sort. He was not responding to anything I was saying."
6. The clerk at the grocery store said Wright was there for almost an hour, before he took off and ran "down the road like his truck was about to explode," his mother, Rosalind, told reporters. "She said she'd never seen anything like it."
7. After Sabine County Sheriff Thomas Maddox's officials searched the area around the store, they found pieces of the scrubs Wright had been wearing, plus his ID pack, wallet, a shoe, a sock, and his watch.
8. But Maddox called off the search four days after Wright vanished, saying he didn't suspect foul play and calling it a "classic drug case," Wright's mother said.
According to lawyer Ryan MacLeod, Wright's family was allegedly told by Maddox, "Your son's just a missing person. My guys are tired. We've exhausted our resources and funds. We're done."
When he disappeared, Wright was under indictment for allegedly embezzling money from his days working at a bank while in college in Tennessee. But his lawyer said the penalty would be at most six months of probation, and a small fine.
Lauren described the as sheriff "belligerent and rude."
"He would shout at us, 'I don't have to be here you know. I could be hunting with my family,'" she said.
9. One of the local policemen responded to a Facebook post that Wright was probably just hiding to "keep from going to prison."
10. "I think this is a hate crime," Rosalind told MailOnline. "What they did to my boy, it hurts me so much to think of it."
The Texas Rangers, who eventually took over the case from the local police, said Wright's death was "questionable."
11. Wright's widow, Lauren, said that her husband had been acting strange the week he went missing, after his car began to have problems.
"It was almost like he was paranoid or something," she said. "I told him he needed to eat something and go to bed but it was like he couldn't turn his mind off. He couldn't settle."
12. Making the case even stranger is that the Wright family's private investigator told MailOnline that Alfred was having an affair with Cindy Maddox, the sheriff's daughter. The woman denied the accusation.
"I don't think it's true that there were other women," Lauren said. "But I don't know. I looked through his phone records and there were no repeated calls."
13. People on social media have been posting about organizing rallies and getting justice for Wright, sharing a poster that shows a gruesome photo of his decomposed body.
"#JusticeForAlfredWright. He was found dead, lying face down, only wearing boxers, a sock, and shoes. His tongue was cut off and his eyes were taken out. Some teeth were missing and an ear was cut off. And they said it was a drug overdose?! smdh. Oh yea, and the county has some racial tensions towards black. Coincidence? Nah. #AlfredWright #Justice #Murder #Homicide #Drug #Overdose #SMH #Racism"
19. A $30,000 reward is being offered for information about Wright's death that leads to a conviction.
- White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer repeated claims that the inauguration was the most watched ever. But the numbers (still) don't make sense.
- Britain's Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Theresa May needs to consult parliament before triggering Brexit.

Hi Everyone! I am getting ready to apply to Emory's Fall 2012 BSN for 2nd Degree program and thought it may be helpful to start up a little forum/therapy group-ha. If you are: currently... Read More
Mar 29, '12 by emwatkiI've been off and on these boards since I started looking at second-degree nursing programs a year ago... and finally re-activated my account! I was accepted to Emory as a second-degree student and as of now plan to attend! I'm still waiting to hear from my first choice.... but Emory was a close #2 and I'm VERY excited!!

Apr 22, '12 by peachshanI have a question for those that applied and were accepted: what exactly are the admission committee looking for in the resume? I went to the informational session this weekend and they have sold me! Of course, I am going to apply at different places. However, I am really excited and nervous about the admission process. Thanks for any advice. Oh yeah, I plan on applying as a BSN 2nd degree
Apr 29, '12 by gwelltravailleTo the Emory applicants that were accepted,
Could you tell the rest of the readers (new) what your GPA, nursing experience (if any), and what your GRE scores were?
Aug 19, '12 by halffullLadies and Gentlemen,
You are giddy with excitement at going to Emory. The feeling is a thrill, to have been accepted at such a prestigious school! And yet, have you sat down to do the math? If you are taking loans out, have you truly realized how long it will take to pay those loans off? Take it from someone who has been in your place. Emory is expensive, but is it worth it? Just please think about it. If this school truly cared about "social responsibility" it would make getting a nursing education less of a burden. But if you have been sold on the incredible sales pitch, it may already be too late ...
Aug 20, '12 by karczyn2Halffull,
True. It is a very expensive school. And almost all schooling these days is way overpriced. A problem in this country in and of itself. However, it is not the nursing school who sets the tuition, but the University as a whole. The blame should not be pointed at the SON in any way. The SON also is very aware of this and is something they take into consideration with every decision of their program.
To those reading this, be aware that there are plenty of funding sources to help you through the two years in addition to opportunities such as HRSA post-graduation. It may be tougher for some, but is very doable. This is coming from a current student.
Emory SON truly does follow their value of social responsibility and it is one of the few schools who does. It is evident in their work throughout the state of Georgia and other countries of this world.
Just adding to the other side of the story. However, in the end it is each individuals choice.

Skip to comments.JCPenney filing reveals a surprising 43,000 job cuts
Posted on 03/21/2013 10:24:05 AM PDT by jimbo123
However youre counting the numbers, they hurt.
JCPenney revealed in a regulatory filing yesterday that it finished its fiscal year ended Feb. 2 with 116,000 employees a whopping 43,000 less than a year earlier.
Thats a slashing of 27 percent even steeper than the companys disastrous revenue decline of 24.8 percent for the same period.
Its also more than twice the figure of 19,000 job cuts that Chief Executive Ron Johnson testified to under oath earlier this month, when asked during the companys trial with Macys and Martha Stewart how many Penney employees had lost their jobs on his watch.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
In before "Unexpected!"
Yes: They are hanging on to Degenerate.
Maybe next year when they have 50% less than a year ago they will wake up/
Unexpected ping?
Cue the "it's because of the lesbian not the ridiculous pricing scheme and Ron Johnson being a moron" people......
They need gay stimulus monies.
JC Pennys is having problems? Who knew? (rolling eyes)
Of course it's 'unexpected'.
If we had a Republican president, it would be 'expected'.
Not truly unexpected. For Johnson to cut 27% of his people on a 25% drop in sales, it means HE FORECASTED IN ADVANCE that sales would drop at least 20% so he starting cutting knowing that number. Problem is that he needed to cut around 40% if he wanted to make his numbers with such a large sales decline.
Any business supporting the fag-marriage agenda can go to blazes. I hope each and every one of them goes bankrupt.
"Cue the its because of the lesbian not the ridiculous pricing scheme and Ron Johnson being a moron people......"
ALL of the above.
We cancelled our credit card and do not even look at their advertisements. I hope they fail as 2-3% of the population is not worth losing the business of the majority who have just too many choices to knowingly support LGBT.
In addition to all of this, I found the quality of Penny's merchandise to go way down.
Back when our 5 kids were growing up, I bought a lot of those clothes there. I don't think I would do that today.
It could easily be both. :-)
JCP following in the footsteps of Monky Ward?
JCP stock is down over 4% today.
-— and sears is not far behind!
Okay... Sure Ellen might have turned off some people but a boatload like her. She's a non-event on the financial performance. Ron Johnson is the single largest problem. He is trying to completely change the retail model and that plan is failing miserably. They are trying to stay ahead of it by slashing costs (thus the headcount decline).
Despite that the Board is behind Johnson. From a recent analyst report where they were initiating coverage at a "Buy" and a $22/sh price target
Operational transition.
JCP has two important projects on the table in the near term: the rollout of 21 new shops and the turnaround in their home goods strategy. The home goods refocus is an emblem of JCPs attempt to recapture their traditional core customer the dispute over Martha Stewarts role in that refocus underlines this. A successful launch of the new offerings would represent a reassuring milestone for The Shops, especially if the revenue per square foot metric in that aspect of the strategy holds. The home goods refocus is an important part of any strategy to regain market share: this category has declined from 19% of their revenue mix in 2009 to 10% in 2012, even as the larger topline number declined. Any updates on these aspects of JCPs strategy will be significant the market is looking for any material signs that the turnaround strategy is either improving or further decompensating. One prospect, much discussed in the financial and popular press, is the potential for change in management. On March 12th, the board reaffirmed its confidence in the current executive, but even if the board were to see numbers that they felt compelled them from a fiduciary perspective to make a change, the impact would likely be a curtailment in heavy capital spending while maintaining the cost savings initiatives.
Meanwhile Robert W. Baird analysts have the following to allow:
Solid concept. JCPenney offers a combination of private and exclusive brands and well-known national brands at attractive prices, which management is working to enhance. Sephora inside JCPenney shops (~308 currently; 500+ store opportunity) and recent merchandising additions (Liz Claiborne, MNG by Mango, ALDO Call it Spring) have attracted customers and increased productivity.
Turnaround in progress. In January, JCP unveiled an ambitious plan to transform the company over the next four years. Key changes include a new "Fair & Square" pricing strategy (eliminating layered and frequent discounts), updated merchandise (adding brands, eliminating nonproductive brands, and enhancing owned brands), marketing (including spokeswoman Ellen Degeneres), a new store prototype (to be announced in 2013), and in-store presentation (100 unique shop-in-shops). Management is simultaneously seeking to cut SG&A by over $900 million annually.
Correlation is not necessarily causation...
Yeah - need to add another panel onto the graphic: $15.50 today as I type this....oops, $15.49.
It could be but it's not. JCP has fundamental problems with their strategy rollout.
Can BK be far behind?
Sure, it's just coincidence that stock values fell right after a company that was founded on traditional Christian values went off the deep end by promoting a radical social agenda. Johnson's failed leadership is to credit also. But I believe anyone who discounts the gay ads is not being realistic.
You're right, the quality has dropped quite a bit.
I stopped by my local JCP last week (first time in a long time). The store used to be filled with people, but it was like a graveyard...probably five people at most.
I mentioned the poor quality and lack of any available merchandise to a teenaged clerk. Poor girl, I could tell she wanted to agree with me, but she kept repeating "Well, we just need to move forward" over and over, like a robot. Clearly that's the phrase employees have been told to use on unhappy customers....like it would make a difference somehow.
weird how they went all out for the pro homosexual agenda and then this, yes they were dipping but they went into free fall after their outing and support.
Like Ford who was on the bottom , not selling and then they kept their mouths shut about the queer agenda and sales went up and thta was before the buy out of GM
same here
Ford learned the hard way too and back tracked, all of this we all suport their agenda is pure B/S
I seriously wonder whether JCPenny could stop its slide into receivership by being overtly straight, family oriented, and patriotic.
That story is based on the words of a JCP spokesman, one "Joey Thomas."
Do you think Mr. Thomas reports to the JCP Board? That's not what the story says. It says he's "a spokesman for the Plano, Texas-based company."
I would imagine that "Joey Thomas" or his boss reports to Ron Johnson.
In any event, I've never heard of a company stating publicly that they're going to sh**-can their CEO while keeping him around to screw things up.
Maybe JCP's "different." You know, like Apple. "Think Different."
I had gone into JC Penny last week to buy some sheets. Even though I despise -Ellen- I bought my last sheets from there, so I returned to get some new ones.
Upon going in the store, what I noticed is that it was mostly empty around 3-4 pm on a weekday, but more importantly it seems geared almost entirely to young people.
All the mannequins are small in stature, and they are dressed like young people.
Sporting a t-shirt with something written on it, an un buttoned long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a baseball cap and sunglasses.
The lady mannequins were also dressed in young clothes being of thinner fabrics and form fitting designs, with pants legs that stop at the top of the calf and such.
I saw nothing directed at older shoppers anywhere in the store. So I thought to myself, in all the time that I have known of JC penny, one thing that I have never considered them to be is -cool- which is what you have to be if you want to sell clothes to the younger crowd.
Of course, -cool- is just a synonym for stupid, which is what I think of various stores that I see when I stroll through the mall. These stores have all sorts of pizzazz everywhere, flashing lights, loud music...essentially all sorts of signals that hey we are cool and we want to sell to you cool people. And I see young people in there shopping.
I think what has happened is that JC Penny tried to increase the size of its tent, offended and/ or ran out all of the members of its old tent, and no one new came to the new tent. GOP please notice as you are about to do the exact same thing.
Long story short, JC Penny forgot who its base is, or simply rejected them.
I think this Joey Thomas spokesman for JCP will be earning his paycheck over the next several months (if he keeps his job). He's going to be really busy.
Haven't been to JCP in years....cut up the card long ago, however last month I wanted to get a pair of walking shoes and on-line saw that JC Penney had the particular style New Balance shoes I wanted. So, I drove to the local mall and parked right by the front door (should have been a clue there) and went into the shoe department to purchase a pair. I saw the exact shoes I was looking for and tried them on, however they were too tight so I looked for a half size larger or wider. After several minutes of fumbling through the boxes, I asked an older man wearing a JCP name tag standing around in the area if he could help me find the size I was looking for. He said, "We are out of that size!" and I asked when they would be getting in another pair and he said, "I don't know."
Without offering to order me a pair, calling another store to see if they had them in stock or suggesting I buy them on-line, I thanked him and wandered around the mall until I found the shoes I was seeking. After my purchase, I walked back through a near-empty Penney's to get to my car and glanced over and saw the associate (he was no Al Bundy) still standing around the shoe department and I thought to myself, it's amazing that this store is even still open.
No doubt!
I had almost exactly the same experience. The only difference is I pushed to see if they would please order a pair of shoes in my size. The clerk replied that they would only order the shoes if I paid for them in advance and asked for my credit card. —My response to that request was "frosty".
So many here are too desperate to blame the "gay agenda" on JCP's failing rather than Ron Johnson's radical shift in pricing, branding and the rest that they'll post silly things like you just did.
The fact is JCP was not healthy when Johnson was hired to "save" the company. "Traditional families" were not keeping JCP solid ground.
Johnson's failure is trying to do too much, to shift the brand into a market segment that it really had no credibility with. He's chasing the customers he knew from his time at Target and Apple. They don't seem to be a good fit for growing traditional brick-and-mortar dept stores.
I have to say, I look at some of these JPC threads and see a watered down version of Westboro Baptist's rationale. It's silly and a shame.
Not only that...they had rabid anti-Bush liberal Kenny Mayne from ESPN as their shirt spokesperson. I am happy the company is going bankrupt but I feel those employees losing their jobs. And that faggot catalogue didn;t help either.
I know I will never again shop because of the gay ads. And I am fairly certain I am not alone.
Is Woolworth still around?
I thought 'Degenerate' was added around 2010? Elections must have screwed up my timetable :p
where are all the fat lesbians going to shop?
Lol :D
He is probably one of their few customers ;)
Shame, such a good company (Christian owner and creator), has fallen to the disgusting level it is at now.
He is definitely rolling in his grave :/
Btw, sadly link didn't work from my PC.. it took me straight to a Japanese Google search (clean).. :/

Publish Date: 23 January 2015
Contamac Ltd., a leader in the development of specialist polymers and a major global provider of biocompatible materials for implantable and medical applications to the ophthalmic industry, and Brien Holden Vision Institute, whose mission is to develop new solutions for vision care and eliminate vision impairment and avoidable blindness, have entered into a multi-year license, which enables Contamac Ltd to commercialize and distribute customized Silicone Hydrogel and GP contact lens products based on utilizing Background Intellectual Property on myopia control from the Brien Holden Vision Institute.
"We hear time and time again that Eye Care Professionals are regularly practicing myopia control with contact lenses in their patients, with recent reports suggesting that this number could be as high as 24%, and, most importantly, the interest within the specialty contact lens industry is growing ever so rapidly," said Martin Dalsing, Contamac's Director of Global Strategy and Business Development. "Making available these specialized custom lens parameters and designs to the Eye Care Professional through our laboratory network will be crucial for today's modern specialty contact lens practice".
"This is an important step in making effective myopia control technologies available to reduce the rate of progress of myopia and the risk of permanent vision impairment associated with high levels of myopia later in life," said Professor Brien Holden, CEO, Brien Holden Vision Institute. "Myopic macular degeneration is now the leading cause of new blindness in some locations in Asia, and with the number of myopes estimated to reach 2.2 billion by 2020 and the number of high myopes increasing rapidly, there is an urgent need for better interventions." The Brien Holden Vision Institute believes that licensing its Background Intellectual Property to companies who are interested in myopia control is an excellent way to see these products in action for the benefit of myopes throughout the world. "Contamac is the first specialist company to take up such a license and develop their own designs. We expect there will be many more in the different contact lens fields."
Under the license, Contamac Ltd. will begin to commercialize specialized contact lenses designed to reduce the rate of myopia progression in children by sub-licensing the Contamac designs to key strategic partners within its existing customer base throughout the world, commencing in May 2015. The technology licensed by Brien Holden Vision Institute includes numerous U.S. and foreign patents.

The Khan family is back in the news once again; only this time, the identity of the black sheep is cause for some confusion amongst the paparazzo camped outside their plush Galaxy Apartments home of late.
Superstar Salman Khan, who gained notoriety for his violent off-screen antics in the past, has undergone an image makeover that many close to him attribute to his Being Human charitable initiative.
Khan's humanitarian streak has now seen the actor launch a social media campaign last weekend to spare the life of Sarabjit Singh, the Indian prisoner who has been incarcerated in a Pakistani prison since 1990, accused of playing a part in the Lahore and Faisalabad bombings that killed 14 people that same year.
Serving a death sentence that has been repeatedly postponed, Khan is one such celebrity who has now taken up the cause to bring Singh back home to his family.
Indian news channel NDTV reported earlier that the "Dabangg" actor even hosted Singh's sister and daughters on the sets of the film's sequel at Mehboob Studio, quoting a source.
Singh's sister Dalbir Kaur is actively working towards his release, with the help of his wife Sukhpreet Kaur and two daughters, Poonam and Swapnadeep
The meeting came post the 46-year-old's social media campaign on Twitter and Facebook, urging people to sign a petition to free Singh.
Khan tweeted earlier: "Requesting the people of Pakistan to support me to help free Surabjeet who has been in prison since 30 years. Please. For the sake of Allah [sic]."
The appeal continued over the days, with Khan taking to Twitter again to write: "Request to the people of Pakistan, member's of the press, government of Pakistan, President Zardari, a humble request: It would be the most amazing gesture, to send Surabjeet back to his family after 30 years."
He continued the appeal on Facebook via his Being Human account, stating: "For over 20 years, Sarabjit Singh is in a Pakistan prison for a crime he did not commit. He and his family have suffered for too long. Please sign this petition to appeal to the Pakistan government that he be freed and united with his family in Punjab."
The online petitions are on Facebook and Beinghumanonline.com.
Controversy not far behind
Yet, even as the older Khan takes his stand against what he believes in injustice against an innocent man acing solitary confinement for decades, his younger brothers are battling their own demons as the case involving the death of a 70-year-old woman in Mumbai complicates matters on the home front.
According to reports, the Lexus that was involved in the Sunday night accident in Bandra belongs to brother Arbaaz Khan, while driving the vehicle was youngest Khan, Sohail's driver.
Pratap Dighavkar, Deputy Commissioner Of Police (Zone 9) told Indian news media Daily Bhaskar: "Both Arbaaz and Sohail Khan will be questioned. In an accident case, both the individuals on whose name the car is registered and the one, who used it will be grilled. Only the driver was in the car, Arbaaz or Sohail were not present."
The driver has reportedly tested negative for alcohol, but many have taken to sending out tweets and BlackBerry messages, condemning the Khan family once again, as the case bears a strong resemblance to the older Salman Khan's similar mishap of September 2002 where one person was killed and four others sleeping on a pavement in Bandra were injured when his Toyota Land Cruiser allegedly rammed into a bakery.
The case is still pending.

The Music Companies versus YouTube debacle continues to unravel one bit at at time. Now, Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that Warner, Universal, Sony and others are in talks to create their own Hulu-like site for music videos.
The music labels are "only" making a max of $25,000 per month off of ad revenues from YouTube. But that's only half the story. The real money is made from a pay-per-play licensing deal.
To be making this kind of direct money off of music videos, which have only been used as a marketing tool up to this point, is a big shift in the music industry.
Universal makes tens of millions on YouTube and they expect to make even more next year. Overall, they expect to make $100 million next year from all of their agreements with various sites.
Since Hulu keeps NBC content on just two sites – Hulu and NBC.com, why would Universal want to restrict their offering to just one site?
Pulling from the world's largest online video site means less exposure to millions of people. YouTube had 100 million unique visitors in October. Those visitors are concert-goers and merchandise-buyers.
Another factor is how YouTube is no longer just a video streaming site, but a bonafied search engine. YouTube is starting to pass Yahoo in searches conducted. On an anecdotal note, my son conducts searches via YouTube frequently. He hates reading; watching video is a much easier way for him to learn.
Bailing on YouTube would be pulling an entire, effective marketing channel. So, here's my final warning to the music companies. The numbers speak for themselves.

Over the course of the past year, slowly but surely I have noticed Teen Vogue deteriorating. While it used to be my favorite magazine, I can barely get through it these days. Pages full of renowned fashion icons & hip and new celebs seems to be a thing of the past. No offense to the characters on Glee, or the Selena Gomez and Justin Biebers of the world, but I am uninterested. What happened to my fab fashion mag! More than frustrating. Ashley Greene is the cover this month? C'mon Teen Vogue, really? Apparently she is Joe Jonas's girlfriend, and a collaborator with Miley Cyrus. Not to be a snob, but I can not be bothered. Riled just talking about this. Come back old Teen Vogue.

Router UCR11 v2 is a wireless UMTS/CDMA router providing an exceptional concept of modularity in a mobile wireless network environment. The router may be equipped with 2 independent RF modules (UMTS, CDMA) with a combination for technology transfer.
In practice this means that you can combine CDMA 450 MHz and 3G (UMTS) technology in one router and switch between them according to your convenience. CDMA 400 MHz is backed up by UMTS and vice versa in this case. UMTS/CDMA Router UCR11 v2 is particularly suited to industrial applications for customers that would benefit from having 2 independent mobile wireless technologies (2 modules inside router) available in one device. Router features high speed data rates 21,1 Mbit/s (UMTS) and 14,7 Mbit/s (CDMA), one Ethernet 10/100 port and dual-SIM failover capability for mission critical applications. This router is particularly suited to the demands of the "Transaction Management" industry such as point-of-sale terminals, remote ATMs and vending terminals as well as a huge variety of intelligent remote monitoring and control applications in the Transport, Energy and Security sectors.
Other benefits and advantages include high modularity – the router offers the option to connect various user devices via Ethernet 10/100, RS232, RS485, RS422, MBUS or I/O. The router is equipped with WiFi module (XC-WiFi), WMBUS module (XC-WMBUS) or SDH (XC-SD) – Optional interfaces.
Selected applications
- Transportation and security – wireless transmissions provided by cameras, connection of various sensors in trains, vehicles, container transportation assistance and river boats
- IT and communication – safe connection of computers and LAN networks
- Self-service terminals – connection of ATMs, payment and gaming terminals, etc. .

Key features
As a standard, this exceptionally fast UMTS / CDMA wireless router is equipped with one Ethernet 10/100, one USB Host port, one binary Input/output (I/O) port and two SIM cards to save and backup the communication data. The wide range of interface options of the UCR11 v2 router further expands optional Port1 and Port2 – selected by the customer. Optional Port 1 would be fitted by Ethernet port 10/100 or interface ports RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / MBUS or I/O – CNT. Port2 may be equipped with interfaces RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / MBUS / WiFi / WMBUS / SDH. Another option is the insertion of XC-SW board providing3 x switched Ethernet 10/100 ports. This UMTS/CDMA wireless router is supplied either in a plastic or metal casing, based on the requirements of the customer.
Configuration is done via web interface protected by a password. The UMTS/CDMA router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. The web interface provides detail statistics about the 3G router activities, signal strength, detailed log, etc. The cellular router supports the following functions: DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS and many other functions. Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic inspection of PPP connection offering an automatic restart feature – in the case of connection losses, or a hardware watchdog which monitors the status of the router.

This week on the "moral values" beat, Newsweek has Debra Rosenberg and Rebecca Sinderbrand writing about the religious right's bid to become something more than a GOTV (get out the vote) wing of the Republican party. To start, the duo reports, the movement's leaders are conference-calling and meeting daily to come up with tactics to pressure President Bush into installing their agenda. At the top of that agenda, says Rosenberg and Sinderbrand, is a bold move to reshape the nation's courts.
Among the conservatives quoted is Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation, who doesn't exactly seem like he's prepared to fight to the death to cash in on the political capitol awarded to him on Election Day. The first time we hear from Weyerich, he's all bluster and threat: "We're not going to be trotted out every four years and then get kicked in the teeth afterwards." But only a few paragraphs later Weyerich doesn't seem so tough: "We'd better be very careful not to think that the president owes us anything and it's payback time." If Weyerich makes a 180-degree turn, so also do Rosenberg and Sinderbrand, by all but writing off the religious right at the end of the piece, even suggesting that it won't be much heard from until the 2006 congressional elections appear on the horizon.
U.S. News & World Report's Terence Samuel touches on the same subject, via Arlen Specter's battle to claim the helm of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Samuel notes that "tradition" is on Specter's side but that "he finds himself in the cross hairs of Christian conservatives who have received substantial credit for the president's re-election." He then concludes that all signs — including word from the White House and Specter's past voting history on judicial confirmations — point to a Specter victory and a Christian conservative loss.
Michael Duffy of Time offers up the 411 on John Ashcroft's replacement-to-be Alberto Gonzales. Duffy fits in most of the beltway conventional wisdom about the first changeover in Bush's cabinet: Ashcroft's departure was long overdue; Republicans and Dems agree that the Justice Department is just a stop on the way to a Supreme Court nomination; Gonzales' appointment will help solidify support amongst the 44 percent of Hispanics who voted for Bush; and he dredges up the insider's tale that Gonzales kept Bush off a jury in 1996 that might have exposed his DUI, years before it became public knowledge.
Back to moral values, The New Republic lends space to Rep. Brad Carson (D-Okla.) who lost an uphill battle for one of the state's U.S. Senate seats. Carson admits that he recognized his campaign was doomed from the moment he heard the echoes of "Vote Righteously" — code for "Vote pro-life, vote Republican" — from pastor after pastor in the churches he visited throughout the state. Carson argues that the Democratic party failed to realize that social conservatives care more about what they perceive as values issues than they do about traditional policy questions. He writes, "For the vast majority of Oklahomans — and, I would suspect, voters in other red states — these transcendent cultural concerns are more important than universal health care or raising the minimum wage or preserving farm subsidies … [T]he truth is quite simple: Most voters in a state like Oklahoma — and I venture to say most other Southern and Midwestern states — reject the general direction of American culture and celebrate the political party that promises to reform or revise it. "
Finally, The Weekly Standard calls on University of Virginia political science professor Gerard Alexander to put to rest (subscription required) the long-held CW that high turnout favors Democrats. Alexander asserts, "Many Democrats shared this belief, which is why they joined progressives in passing the 'motor voter' registration law in 1993," and he continues to emphasize a point that Campaign Desk (or its spawn) should be wary of in the future: "Many journalists were believers, too, regularly reporting that high turnout naturally favors Democrats." Tucked away within Alexander's observations are some other nice little nuggets about voter turnout (i.e. there are still 75 million non-voters hiding out there), and it's worth a read if you're still trying to get a handle on exactly what happened on Nov. 2.

Geopolitics Take Centre-Stage In Sino-Russian Gas Deal
BMI View : We believe Russia has made significant concessions to China in order to secure the geopolitical and diplomatic dividends of a Sino-Russian gas supply agreement. The gas agreement not only cements Russia's strategic pivot towards Asian energy markets, but also acts as a potent political symbol as Western powers increasingly seek to economically isolate Russia.
The USD400bn Sino-Russian gas deal agreed on May 21 is a symbolic diplomatic victory for Russia. In the midst of European threats to reduce Russian share in the continent's gas market, Russia has secured a new market that will be the second largest after Germany with China's agreement to take 38bcm of Russian gas for 30 years. It also reflects Russia's success in securing an energy ally in China as Europe threatens to use the energy card to weaken Russia's position in Ukraine.
It is also a commercially important deal for Russia's Gazprom, a major source of revenue for the Russian state budget. The long-term supply agreement with China will provide Gazprom with a steady stream of revenue as European contracts approach expiry.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 191129 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 529 AM CST Thu Jan 19 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday) Issued at 345 AM CST Thu Jan 19 2017 Fog has developed across portions of the Northland this morning as a warmer and more moist airmass has made its way into the region. The warmer air has lead to some snow melt, lending further moisture for fog. Some fog this morning is expected to become dense in some locations, so decided to issue a Dense Fog Advisory for the southern half of our forecast area through 15z this morning. Some fog may linger later in the morning, but shouldn`t be as dense. Most of today will remain dry, except for some developing areas of drizzle/freezing drizzle/fog this evening and overnight as a push of mid-level positive vorticity advection and weak 700-500 mb layer frontogenetical forcing translates from the south. Another day of above freezing temperatures is expected again today across the area, with highs in the upper 30s and lower 40s. A better push of FGEN and 500 mb isentropic lift moves into the forecast area Thursday night and Friday morning, which will bring increasing chances of a wintry mix to the area through the day Friday. Freezing rain, sleet, and snow are all possible, depending on the thermal profile. Any snow and ice accumulations that occur will be very light in nature. However, there may be some slick spots on untreated roadways during this time. Precipitation type should be mostly light rain by Friday afternoon, transitioning back to brief wintry mix, and then all snow by Friday night. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 345 AM CST Thu Jan 19 2017 A mild and wet period through the weekend into early next week, with a chance for a more substantial storm and a return to slightly colder temperatures by mid-week. On the synoptic scale a somewhat active pattern across North America with a broad upper low lifting into the upper Midwest over the weekend, getting stuck and slowly dissipating as a stronger upper low ejects out of the southern High Plains into the southeast US. To the north, a broad ridge builds over Hudson Bay with little in the way of arctic air even as north as the northwest Territories. With the upper low getting essentially stuck in the flow over the upper Midwest, a period of mild temperatures and light precipitation is expected through early next week. Temperatures at the surface and aloft will be very warm, with surface temperatures likely driving the precipitation type much of the time. Ice loss aloft may be an issue, and with a thin warm layer between 800mb and 925mb depicted on the NAM, a period of freezing rain is possible. However, most guidance is a bit cooler and thus, when precipitation is ongoing and temperatures at the surface are below freezing, precip type should be snow. Occasional freezing drizzle is still possible at times, which could result in minor ice accumulations, but through the weekend generally little snow/ice is expected. Highs in the upper 30s to low 40s Saturday through Monday, lows upper 20s to low 30s. Late Monday into Tuesday a mid-level longwave ridge builds across the central and southern Plains east into the lower Mississippi River Valley. Then another upper low lifts from the central Great Plains towards the Great Lakes region. The latest guidance keeps the bulk of the large-scale lift and precip focused south of the Northland, but there is still enough uncertainty across ensemble guidance to suggest a more northerly track is at least possible. However, because of the deepening low to the south, colder air will advect south across the region leading to at least some light precipitation and colder temperatures, especially as the low lifts east towards the lower Great Lakes on Wednesday. Temperatures will be colder aloft but at the surface temperatures will remain mild with highs in the 30s Tuesday and Wednesday, lows in the 20s. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 529 AM CST Thu Jan 19 2017 IFR or worse conditions are expected to prevail this morning at most sites, with some improvement this afternoon before all sites return to LIFR or worse conditions overnight tonight due to dense fog and low stratus. Ceilings are expected to remain IFR, but periods of MVFR or even VFR may prevail in the late morning to early afternoon as some of the thinner patches of stratus diminish. However, increasing low level moisture this evening will lead to a return of IFR or worse stratus, with ceilings becoming 100-200 feet towards midnight at all sites. Visibility will improve this morning to MVFR or VFR, but return to IFR/LIFR tonight as fog settles back in with a chance for drizzle/freezing drizzle as well. A light southerly wind through the forecast period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Students from Royal Holloway, University of London's 2012 delegation to the National Model United Nations conference in New York are celebrating after winning the most prestigious award available to participants.
The 20-strong team from the Politics and International Relations Society, led by Alfie Jones and Carmen De Jong, walked away with the Outstanding Delegation award, a prize reserved for the top ten universities of the 200 who participated.
Maxwell Lacey and Jasmine El-Gabban, Royal Holloway delegates on the Organisation of American States committee, were voted the best delegation in their committee by their peers and also received an award for their position paper.
Royal Holloway represented Venezuela at the conference and, as part of their training prior to the conference, they visited the Venezuelan embassy to the UK in London as well as the Venezuelan Mission to the United Nations for a briefing about Foreign and Domestic Policy.
The conference is a very close simulation of the actual United Nations and, over five days, delegates work in committees that were set up to resemble their real-life UN counterparts as closely as possible, including the General Assembly, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and the Committee on Narcotic Drugs (CND) to name a few.
Over five days delegates made speeches, debated the issues at hand, and then drafted, amended and attempted to pass resolutions echoing the work of their respective UN bodies and committees. The level of the resolutions produced and the work of the students was of an extremely high level and reflected the six months of preparation and training the team underwent beforehand. Some of the final committee sessions were held in the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where the resolutions passed by each committee was voted on by department and thus, simulated what a real-life United Nations voting procedure would be like.
Alfie Jones said: "Participation in the National Model United Nations simulation provides a unique educational experience and gives students the opportunity to get the first-hand experience in the world's parliament and the feedback for the entire conference was overwhelmingly positive. Congratulations to everyone involved for an incredible victory and for enduring the week-long hard work."

We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality. - Ayn Rand
There have been rumors and accountings of a growing shortage in physical silver for a few months. Several market analysts have been warning about this development. You can find some of the commentary here on the King World News blog. There has been no shortage of skeptics and critics of these reports, and the price of silver - probably the best market indicator of supply/demand - has been grinding sideways for several months, perhaps leaving the skeptics feeling vindicated.
Interestingly, the U.S. Mint released an announcement in mid-December that the 2012 silver eagles were sold out and that no more silver eagles would be sold until the release of the 2013's on January 7.
Keep in mind that, technically, the U.S. Mint is required by law to produce enough silver eagles to meet demand. It for sure can fulfill this requirement by taking orders for the 2013's in advance and producing enough coins to meet that demand when it releases the 2013's. It certainly raises the question of why didn't the Mint produce more 2012's, especially given that silver eagles sales were pacing toward the 2nd highest annual total ever (2011 was the highest). Surely the Mint could have produced a surplus of 2012's before curtailing production to set up for the changeover to 2013's.
The 2013 silver eagle sales kicked off with a one-day record sales of 3.9 million coins. In less than two weeks, authorized dealers had ordered over 6 million coins, by far a monthly record-setting pace. And on January 18, the Mint announced that silver eagles would be suspended again until January 28.
Now, unless the Mint managers are completely incompetent as businessmen, why did they not mint enough coins to meet the initial demand, with full knowledge that there would be pent-up demand plus the usual high demand when a new year is released? Remember, by law they must produce enough coins to fulfill demand.
The only plausible reason is because the mint was unable to get enough of the silver blanks they use to make silver eagles. And the only reason for this I can think of is that the silver shortage we've been hearing countless anecdotes about is real.
I have a couple different business colleagues who have spoken with bullion smelters who say the market is in short supply right now. Furthermore, Swiss money manager Egon Von Greyerz stated yesterday that "we are now seeing very lengthy delays in getting physical silver."
What does all this mean? First, let me say that a "shortage" in physical supply does not mean that I'm saying there is not any physical silver available. But what it does mean is that there are not many interested sellers of actual physical at the current price level. To be sure, any shortage of a non-depletable resource can be solved by price. What this means is that we are going to see much higher prices for silver in the coming months, until the new market price is set at a level which balances supply and demand. It's basic economic law.
Here's a 10-year chart of silver. I'll leave it to the reader to determine where they think the new market clearing price will settle:
Ironically, the appearance of this market shortage of physical silver appears on the heels of an article I wrote last week disputing several reports written recently which made the claim that the demand for gold was declining. In fact, the U.S. Mint announcement followed on the heels of a massive 18.3 million ounce deposit into the SLV silver ETF. This was biggest one-day deposit in 2 years. So much for there being declining demand in precious metals.
After roughly 18 months of a severe price correction in the price of silver, 2013 is shaping into what could be a substantial move higher in the price of silver. Certainly at least to the extent that a higher price induces sellers to balance out demand. You can take advantage of this on a short term basis by buying AGQ or longer term out of the money call options on SLV. If you want to speculate on some oversold silver mining stocks, my favorites are EXK (Endeavor Silver), HL (Hecla) and Wildcat Silver (WS on the TSE). As always, I recommend starting first and foremost by buying some physical gold/silver and safekeeping outside of the financial system, either in a private depository or in your personal possession.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: The fund I manage is long physical gold, silver, EXK, HL, WS.TO, AGQ

|[CQ-Contest] EU Sprint 2001
|firstname.lastname@example.com (I2UIY)
|Thu Mar 29 19:04:29 2001
EU SPRINT 2001 In 1994 the EU Sprint Gang (I2UIY, OK2FD, DL6RAI, and G4BUO) organized the first European Sprint contests. For 2001 there have been some rule changes, introducing an awards programme and bringing the Spring Sprints forward in the calendar. You can find past scores and other information about the sprints by visiting the official EU Sprint web site at this address: <http://loja.kkn.net/~i2uiy/>. The BIG news is that now we will award a certificate to the winners in each country but this is not all. Three nice plaques will be awarded for the top three scores from all four contests combined. Therefore, please red circle the four EU Sprint saturdays on your calendar, we will be looking for you starting April 14! EU SPRINT 2001 The EU Sprint Gang hereby invites you to participate in the four European Sprint Contests held in 2001. ENTRANTS: any licensed station may enter the Sprint. European stations can work everybody; stations outside of Europe can work only European stations. CATEGORIES: Single Operator ONLY. Only ONE signal may be aired at one time. DATES: EU SPRINT Spring: * SSB: second Saturday in April - 14 April 2001 - managed by G4BUO * CW: third Saturday in April - 21 April 2001 - managed by B.C.C. EU SPRINT Autumn: * SSB: first Saturday in October - 6 October 2001 - managed by I2UIY * CW: second Saturday in October - 13 October 2001 - managed by OK2FD TIME: from 15:00 UTC until 18:59 UTC. BANDS: 20, 40 and 80 metres only. Pilot frequencies are: SSB: 14.250, 7.050, 3.730. CW: 14.040, 7.025, 3.550 EXCHANGE: all of the following data MUST BE PART OF THE EXCHANGE: a) your callsign, b) the other station's callsign, c) your serial number starting from 001 (RST not required), d) your name or nickname. Please note that BOTH stations MUST repeat BOTH callsigns DURING the exchange. A valid exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD 118 Paolo" is NOT a valid exchange. SPECIAL QSY RULE: if any station initiates a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?, etc.), he is permitted to work ONLY one station on the same frequency. He must thereafter move AT LEAST 2 (two) kHz before he may call another station or before he may solicit again (CQ, QRZ?, etc.) other calls. VALID CONTACTS: valid contacts are QSOs correctly logged and confirmed. Each operator may use ONE and ONLY one name during the Sprint. If the exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will receive zero (0) points. In case of miscopied callsigns, both stations will receive zero (0) points for that QSO. SCORING: each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score is the total number of QSOs. AWARDS: Colorful certificates will be issued to the winners of each Sprint, and to the leaders in each country. A special plaque will also be awarded for the top three scores from all four contests combined. To be eligible for this award an operator must enter at least three of the Sprints in the year. Results will be forwarded as soon as possible to Leagues, magazines and bulletins. LOGS: a single chronological log is required.
