An attorney for Steven Thomas, the Mashantucket Pequot treasurer charged with stealing from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino, has asked that the federal government's three-count indictment of his client be dismissed.
In pretrial omnibus motions filed this week in U.S. District Court in New Haven, attorney Richard Reeve argues that the charges against Thomas are "fatally flawed." Failing their dismissal, he writes, the government should be compelled to specify the legal basis of its claims and provide details of the specific acts it's alleging.
Thomas, 38, currently serving his second consecutive three-year term on the tribal council, has pleaded not guilty to charges he stole more than $700,000 in tribal funds while employed as assistant director of its Department of Natural Resources Protection from January 2005 through June 2008.
The government charges Thomas accepted payment for time he did not work.
"While the indictment is completely silent on the details of the alleged offenses, the claim appears to be that Mr. Thomas received salary payments which exceeded that to which he was entitled," Reeve writes. "The claim is not that he did no work at all, but that the hours he actually worked were different from the time sheets he submitted."
The case, Reeve writes, involves no allegation that Steven Thomas "stole" any federal funds.
"This case is not about the federal government protecting taxpayer funds. All of the salary payments to Mr. Thomas that are at the heart of this case were tribal funds, not government money."
Reeve declined to discuss his motions Wednesday, writing in an email they "speak for themselves."
The court filing offers some historical background on the Mashantucket tribe and its growth following federal recognition in 1983. As the tribe sought to maximize work opportunities for repatriated tribal members, it experienced "some significant growing pains," according to the motions.
"Tribal member employees were often not sufficiently trained or experienced to handle their jobs, and many tribal members did not always put in full days or weeks at their employment positions. ... Of all the tribal employees who, it appears, might not have regularly put in full-time hours, Steven Thomas is the only one who is being charged on that basis."
As a tribal councilor, Thomas "has worked tirelessly to change employment rules, incentive plans, and many other facets of tribal life," the filing says.
One of the omnibus motions argues that two of the three counts involve alleged acts that occurred beyond the period outlined in the applicable five-year statute of limitations. Another motion contends the indictment is "duplicitous" in combining multiple alleged acts of theft in each of the three counts.
Asked for comment, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office wrote in an email, "We'll respond in court."
Thomas, free on $100,000 bond, faces a November trial.
His first tribal council term began in January 2010. His fellow councilors named him treasurer in January 2012, and in November of that year, with a federal investigation of tribal finances under way, he won re-election.
Thomas was sworn in to his second term Jan. 4, just hours before the U.S. Attorney's Office announced a grand jury had returned indictments against him and his brother, Michael Thomas, a former council chairman.
Michael Thomas, 44, is charged with one count of theft from an Indian tribal organization and two counts of theft from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds. He allegedly stole more than $100,000 from the tribe from October 2007 through April 2009, when he was chairman.
Michael Thomas' trial is set to begin next month in New Haven.

Caught 3 swarms yesterday, but all had recently swarmed and came without resisting. However, last week I lost two swarms because when I started climbing the ladder, it shook the tree a little, and a few bees took to the air. These few bees coerced the others into thinking it was time to go... so the whole swarm took off down the street, never to be heard of again. These swarms that I lost had probably been there for a few days- I just happened to see each one while messing with another swarm. Anyone have an idea on how to catch a jittery swarm?
Yesterday I made me up a "butterfly net" type of swarm catcher for REALLY high swarms. I bent a hanger in a circle and sewed camo netting onto the hanger with nearly 3 feet of net dangling. I twisted the hanger end onto a long, thin, cut tree trunk, and it worked like a charm getting one swarm. I think a jittery swarm would just fly out of my net though, before I could lower it and close it off.

United States Attorney
Southern District of Mississippi
BRAD PIGOTT, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi, announced that JIMMY W. McKAY, of Gulfport, pled guilty today to conspiracy to defraud a federally funded inmate education program at the Harrison County Jail. McKAY pled guilty before United States District Judge Walter J. Gex, III, in federal district court in Biloxi.
As described in the indictment, during the period relevant to the charges, McKAY served as a Deputy Sheriff with the Harrison County Sheriff's Department and an instructor with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. As charged in the indictment, McKay and the other defendants falsely represented that inmates at the Harrison County Jail earned grades as students who had satisfactorily completed the course requirements under the inmate training program. The indictment alleges that McKAY and others prepared false documents, including grade sheets, fraudulently representing that inmates had satisfied the requirements for their courses of instruction, whereas, in truth, during some or all of the period of instruction, a substantial number of these inmates were either not incarcerated at the Harrison County Jail Jail or were assigned to other work areas.
According to the indictment, McKAY participated in a conspiracy to obtain money by fraud in a value of $5.000,00 or more which was under the control of an organization receiving more than $10,000.00 in benefits annually under a Federal program. The conspiracy also involved making and using false writings containing materially false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Education.
Under the inmate program which was funded in part with federal funds, each instructor was required to teach a minimum of ten. students per semester. The areas of instruction, included food preparation, automotive, agricultural business, and welding. McKay served as welding instructor for the program.
The charges against McKay carry a maximum sentence of five years' imprisonment, a maximum fine of $250,000, and a period of supervised release of up to three years. The trial of the two remaining defendants, Bruce G. Carver, SR., and Edmund J. Huguet, SR, is scheduled for September 25, 2000.
Assistant United States Attorneys GAINES CLEVELAND and PETER BARRETT are the prosecutors in charge of the case.
Mr. PIGOTT praised the efforts of the United States Department of Education Office of the Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their diligent work in the investigation of this case.

He said it is a level playing field for everyone right now with the new refs like or not you still have to play the team your facing. He went on to say this is not the first time this has happened replacement refs or old and won't be the last. I love Parcells but there has to be a change I get what he's saying but we need the old crew back. The old refs may have played favorites but they didn't lose control of the game.

Azure's Service Bus and EnergyNet (PDC Day 0)
On Day 0 of Microsoft PDC, I attended the Software in the Energy Economy workshop. Much to my surprise (and disappointment), we didn't talk about energy for the entire first half of the workshop. Instead, it was about Azure's Service Bus. BAD Microsoft!! It was explained to us by Juval Lowy that he wanted to do it entirely on energy but Microsoft forced him to have half of the talk on the service bus. Now I can understand this from Microsoft, but this should have been clear to the people there. Honestly, I would have much preferred to go to another workshop than to learn about the Azure Service Bus. Cool stuff but my current analysis of it is that it's way too unreliable (I don't mean bugs, I mean lack of transactional support) and it is simply missing some of the things that I would want/need in such a system, like queues! There are hacks to implement them, but I don't want to have such an important foundational part of my architectures built on hacks! Anyways, that can be for another day (gotta get to the keynote).

Well the USFA is definitely taking a gamble with the two new up and coming juniors. And Jeremy being Jeremy doesn't inspire a safe bet either, but at least at his worst he can make in top 10. But then again, its not fair to the two skaters who did a great skates and rightfully earn the spots to the world.
The question will be will they be able to produce the same performances again at Tokyo and/or will the international judges give them some slacks are mark them fairly. If you are taking consideration, with the three Japanese trio, PChan, Joubert, Amadio and Verners, beating half of them and placing ahead is a tall order. They have to place 6th and 7th place to keep the three spots and its definitely tight and dorable if they go clean. But they going to need help from above skaters to make some mistakes.
I say the ladies have better chance of earning the three spots back. Apart from Miki, Mao, Kim, Kanako and Kostner, all the ladies are pretty much so-so. At least its a good thing that Cizney is getting the PCS mark that she derserved, which at least give her 5-6 points cushions.
4CC is not a criteria right now it it? I mean, the 4CC in the current year, not the last. Maybe it should be but it isn't. Weeks ago, you were arguing that the the GPS was the best test for a competitor's consistency and should be taken into account. Rachael and Alissa were the the only two U.S. ladies to make the final and Alissa won in a very difficult field of ladies. What would justify the U.S. sending Mirai when she had such a sloppy skate at nationals? They can't decide to sent Mirai because she MIGHT do better than Rachael and Alissa at 4CC. If they want to change the rules to have the medalists skate for it again at 4CC, then fine but right now it's not like that.
Over at the Men's FS thread I saw that you argued that Rachael and Mirai would make the best team. I'm stunned that after Alissa won the GPF and proved it was no fluke by skating even better at nationals that anyone can argue she shouldn't go to worlds.
If Bradley even repeats his best result, one of Dornbush or Miner is going to have to get at least 13th to get the 2 spots for 2012. I'm hoping that Ryan can better that result with a good performance for something around 10th, but a lot is going to be riding on Ryan's quads, so say the least.
I'm actually very happy for Ryan, and I think the team is very deserving, but no question, it's a high-risk group.
Exactly, sidwich.
Ryan had a broken foot at worlds last year though. So hopefully this year it won't be THAT bad.
I think the team is deserving too but now that you mention losing two spots - it would be interesting of the U.S. revisits the way it does things if that happens. However, I really don't think they'll do that badly.
If Bradley cleans up keep skate and his TES high he may be able beat be those plus
That's based on what I've seen from them this season, esp. recently at Euros
Joubert's a real wild card - who knows what he'll bring.
Not really saying that I think they will beat those I listed, just that with good clean skates, and maybe a bit of help, they could.
would need to make many mistakes - a la Abbott, to fall below the Americans
The men's field is extremely competitive. There's no question it will be a rough road for the Americans.
Also, normally Dornbush and Miner wouldn't be under much pressure at the first worlds, which would be an advantage. But with all these doubts about whether they can keep the spots I wonder if there will be.
This all goes to show how ridiculous it is that every country is limited to sending such a small number of skaters to Worlds/Olympics. There isn't any other sport where a country is limited to sending only 3 people and might even only get to send 2 (or 1!!!), depending on results from the previous season!

If Bradley nails his jumps, he'll do well. The base values for the executed elements in his SP and FS were 39.40 and 78.64 respectively. Not bad at all. And while his step sequences will not get called as high levels (though still might get slightly positive GOE from the judges, especially in the SP) and his spins will not be well received (to put it politely), he has the potential for some very nice GOE on the jumps. It all comes down to whether he skates clean and does it with a little flair. If he does, his guaranteed low marks for SS and T won't drop him down as much as some are suggesting. You would think based on some of these comments that two great skates from Bradley wouldn't even get him in the top 10.

:Here are the first official pictures of the restyled Kia Soul, will also equip the 1.6 GDI 138 hp, ISG system (Start / Stop) and 6-speed automatic transmission. Respect to the current receive new halogen headlights with LED daytime including, new audio equipment and air conditioning, new wheel designs, etc ... We will be updating as we get new data.oModernCultureo:LinkTwo important things the article has'nt mentioned.- The Soul will have AWD as an option.- Fuel Economy has improved.More info on the Soul will be revealed later.AWD as an option?????????? damn man Kia just made a huge step in my books
And once again i am liking what kia is doing with their whole lineup. I like the new headlights, and with options like all wheel drive and led running lights Kia is jumping up with the big boys even more.
The manual transmission may be slower, more difficult, and less fuel efficient than an automatic, so why save the stick?Because. Just because. It is just better. Borrowed from Gyro.Current-2001 Toyota Corolla 5speed.Departed-1997 Ford Escort, 2002 Ford Escort, 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1986 Chevy Caprice, 2001 Chevy Malibu, 1997 Honda Accord.
I guess for what it's supposed to be, a quirky box for quirky people, it does the job.
====================Injecting common sense, one post at a time.
Like the specs on that 2.0. Same on GDI used in the Forte which is rated at 156 hp but tuned for 160 in the Soul.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
I like that it will be optional to get AWD. That'll be a good selling point because none of the other cars in its class have it

=\/=DD: 1995 Mazda Miata M EditionToy: 04 Honda VFR800 Interceptor named Phoenix (nicknamed VTAK)
I think it has the right amount of power at 160hp. That AWD feature is definitely a big advantage. They need to upgrade the interior materials though.

Soul AWD as a competitor to the Juke, perhaps?
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
I'd only take the 208 horsepower in the AWD version (American competitor to the GTI possibly).Something like - Kia Soul Sport TurboAWD, 208 horsepower, full loaded and a 6 speed manual, average 28ish combined mpg, and price it just below 22k and it would be a car I'd look in to.Although I still miss the Soulster idea they axed

WHS Adoptable Animals
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness. For more than 128 years, WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need. We offer adoption services that place 9,000 animals in new homes annually, veterinary services that save thousands of lives, educational programs that instill respect for animals, behavior services to assist guardians and a myriad of other initiatives that help end suffering for animals. We depend entirely on private donations to fund our programs and rely on volunteers in nearly every department. If you are interested in adopting, volunteering, enrolling in a class, taking a tour or making a donation, check out our comprehensive web site at wihumane.org. The adoptable animals' web pages are updated every 30 minutes!
Wisconsin Humane Society Racine Campus Opens Today
Wisconsin Humane Society Racine Campus Opens Today
The Wisconsin Humane Society Racine Campus will open for animal adoptions on Monday, January 7, just one week after acquiring the former Countryside Humane Society in Racine.
"After seven days of intense work and preparation, we are so excited to open to the public," said Alison Fotsch Kleibor, Director of the Racine Campus. "The Wisconsin Humane Society is bringing 135 years of experience to the Racine community, along with resources that make it possible for us to make the commitment to find every animal in our adoption program a home, no matter how long it takes."
The past seven days have been very busy for WHS staff as they prepared for opening day, focusing on three key areas:
Building upgrades
The building has undergone significant renovation in the past week, including a cleaning operation on New Year's Day that enlisted the help of 20 volunteers. Every surface was scrubbed and disinfected, walls were given fresh paint, new doors were installed, spaces were repurposed and remodeled, and the HVAC system is being upgraded.
Animal care improvements
Cat dens were introduced to the feline population. These simple plastic dens provide a quiet escape for cats, reducing their stress and thereby reducing disease transmission. In addition, all the dogs got Kuranda beds, which are raised beds designed for shelter use. These comfy beds also brought the dogs off the concrete floor. Both the beds and cat dens were made possible by the generosity of private donors in the community.
Staff training under new leadership
Most of CHS's staff accepted positions with the WHS Racine Campus, and they have worked closely with the new leadership to make the transition as successful as possible. Staff members have gone through comprehensive training on adoption processes, animal care, customer service, and shelter maintenance.
The public is invited to stop by any time to see the upgraded facility and view adoptable animals.
The shelter hours are: Monday - Friday: 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Sunday: closed. The WHS Racine Campus is located at 2706 Chicory Road in Racine, WI. The new website is www.wihumane.org.

Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 105 min.
Step 1
Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°F. Generously coat a 9-by-5-inch (or similar size) loaf pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats in the pan. Tip the pan back and forth to coat the sides and bottom with oats.
Step 2
Thoroughly stir together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, beat the remaining 1 cup oats, yogurt, egg, oil and honey in a medium bowl until well blended. Stir in milk. Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture just until thoroughly incorporated but not overmixed (excess mixing can cause toughening). Immediately scrape the batter into the pan, spreading evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon oats over the top.
Step 3
Bake the loaf until well browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. (It's normal for the top to crack.) Let stand in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around and under the loaf to loosen it and turn it out onto the rack. Let cool until barely warm, about 45 minutes.

A tax credit and a tax deduction both work to reduce the total amount of tax you pay.
Deductions reduce the amount of your income that is taxable. For example, the renter's deduction in Indiana reduces the taxable income of a person who pays rent for his home by a maximum of $3,000. The renter would subtract the amount he paid for rent, or $3,000 (whichever is less) from his income. For more information on the renter's deduction, visit Information Bulletin 38.
Once you have determined the taxable income you received for the year, you may be able to apply tax credits. Tax credits reduce the amount of the tax you must pay. For example, if you made a charitable contribution to an Indiana college or university (tuition is not a charitable contribution), you can subtract one-half of the contribution, or $100 (whichever is less) from the amount of the Indiana adjusted gross income tax that you owe for the year. For more information on the Indiana College Credit, visit Schedule CC-40.

2 Analogs no good 1st person shooter. Blackops was horrible unit 13 is no good cause no vs multiplayer. No good rpg games like actually where you freeroam or make a unique cool character. No free roam games period. 2 analogs and all the psp games are one analog so who cares about 2 analogs if theres no good games for them. Soo many features sooo little use for any of them. The only thing i use my vita for is music unlimited. Not many apps for vita. Took forever just to get youtube **bleep** sony. Japan titles dont tickle my fancy. This is bad for Sony because i will not be buying a Playstation 4 until the new xbox comes out and i can completely compare both systems. I will not be stuck with another 300 dollar device that seems to be a paperweight. This system has so much potential. So many 1st person shooters could be played on the go. And even a mmorpg or a good unique rpg game. Companys could really make out like bandits if they would program for this. But as for right now its the best and worst handheld gaming device on the market. So sad to see such hardware be condemned. The only worthy game in my opinion that i have payed for on this system is LBPvita. No other titles are worthy of my hard earned cash. So i agree with the guy that won a vita and says is sucks.
Wow, your first post here is necroing a thread with a blob of text nobody is going to read. Good job, troll!
You'd think someone with a business degree wouldn't be afraid of a little reading. The troll comment was classy too. The truth hurts, huh.

Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now
Yeah, I've been waiting on the big hitters for almost 2 years now. ..... Still waiting..... Look, I bought my Vita day one as I do all my consoles and I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with the amount of QUALITY EXCLUSIVE RETAIL CONTENT available going into late 2013. Resistance? Garbage. CoD? Garbage. AC3? Mediocre. Yeah I bought Uncharted, that was decent, and I bought Wipeout 2048, Unit 13, and Gravity Rush. Yes, all worthy purchases, though none were fantastic. Tbh, Unit 13 was sub-par. It's just that CoD was so bad it made Unit 13 look great. Hell, I even bought Persona 4, Rayman Origins and Sonic Transformed, which were all enjoyable, but no more than ports or multiplats. Anyone who denies the Vita library and upcoming lineup is anything more than abysmal needs to wake up. Are you so blinded by your love of a corporate brand you can't even see the truth right in front of you? Look at PS2, PS3, or even the 3DS... now THOSE have great game libraries. And looks like PS4 will continue to have just as stunning a library as its predecessor. But the Vita? Sony's all but abandoned it. They throw it a bone here and there and call it "support". All of 2013 and the only exclusive games to look forward to are a mediocre Monster Hunter clone (Soul Sacrifice), a couple prior-gen ports (FFX and GoW), and Killzone Mercenary???!!! Granted, I'll concede they're bringing The Walking Dead at some point, even though it's not my particular cup of tea, and Vita will be getting Rayman Legends (thank God, I've already pre ordered it). Even so, you've got to be joking. And people here actually want to argue the point about this? Really? Ok, keep living in fantasy land, playing your "awesome Vita lineup", meanwhile I'll be gaming on my PS4, Wii U and 3DS until Sony actually decides to throw us more than one or two worthy titles per calendar year. And it sucks too cause games like Bioshock have SOOO much potential on Vita. I mean, could you imagine if they'd made The Last of Us Vita exclusive? See, THAT'S what I'm talkin about. Bring the BIG hitters, not this nickel and dime crap.
Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now
To put all the blame on Sony is ignorant.
They've had the PS4 to focus on, and the PsVita didn't take off to get the kind of support it deserves, or that Sony wanted. At least Sony made one Hell of an amazing handheld, and they are still supporting it - Killzone will be out in September along with many Indie games to come. However, for now the PS4 is FAR more important to Sony's success. So as the PS4 sells well, so will the Vita for the great remote feature. So give Sony a little more time because they always want to keep supporting their game products until the very end.
Yet, some people will never be happy, and would rather pay for dumb down tech that gets games that look like they were made 10 years ago.
Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now
And yes, I do blame Sony for the lack of support and overall mismanagement of the Vita; they produced a phenomenal handheld and yet have utterly failed at marketing the device to the public. Would I go as far as saying the Vita sucks right now? No I wouldn't . But at this point in time, I certainly wouldn't recommend the Vita to anyone either. There is just too much uncertainty as to whether or not this device will succeed. And while the PS4 offers some interesting possibilities in terms of the Vita, it's far to early to say if any of that will actually pan out.
Re: honestly, ps vita sucks right now[ Edited ]
Glad some people are bringing up stupid threads like this, it brings out the trolls or people who have extremely little patience. Some don't take a couple things into consideration at all.
1) Vita has a great original library built up, I'm sorry if the tastes aren't yours, there are some great games.
1a) Uncharted Golden Abyss
1b) Gravity Rush
1c) Super Stardust Delta
1d) Wipeout 2048
1e) Guacamelee
1f) Little Big Planet
1g) Silent Hill Book of Memories
1h) Mutant Blobs Attack
1i) Assassins Creed 3 Liberation
1j) Soul Sacrifice
1k) Ragnarok Odysseus
1l) Little Kings Story
1m) Touch my Katamari
1n) Unit 13
1o) Virtues Last Reward
1p) Escape Plan
1q) Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
1r) Frobisher Says
1s) Chronovolt
1t) Bentley's Hack Pack
1u) Spy Hunter
1w) Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz
1x) Thomas was Alone
1y) Urban Trial
1z) Sun Flowers
2) Great Ports or cross play games that people rather over look but their loss.
2a) Jak and Daxter Collection
2b) Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
2c) Persona 4 Golden
2d) Limbo
2f) Strangers Wrath HD
2g) Disgaea 3
2h) Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
2i) Rayman Origins
2j) Retro City Rampage
2k) Sound Shapes
2l) Knytt Underground
2m) Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
2n) Ninjas Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus
2o) Eric Mickey 2
2p) Plants vs Zombies
2q) Virtua Tennis 4
2r) Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
2s) Need for Speed Most Wanted
2u) Hotline Miami
2v) Jet Set Radio
2w) Machinarium
2x) Puddle
2y) Quell Memento
2z) When Vikings Attack
3) Fantastic Fighting Games on the go too.
3a) PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal
3b) Dead or Alive 5 Plus
3c) Street Fighter x Tekken
3d) Mortal combat
3f) Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
3g) BlazeBlue
3f) Guilty Gear XX
4) Many more Vita titles are coming, like Killzone Mercenaries, Tear away, and much more - some will be revealed at gamescom.
5) History Repeats every time, First year of a console or hardware is always slow (while I disagree about vita as there's tons of games but whatever right). PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, 3DS, PSP, Wii, and even Wii U fall in line as having a slow first year but picks up years after building a library anyone can enjoy. I'm pretty sure Xbox One and PS4 will fall in this category too even though no one wants to admit it (I see 5 potential game buys when they launch, that's it). The Vita is no different.
6) Indies are becoming a huge thing in PlayStation Platforms and its a group that seemed to be going pc only due to how Microsoft stomped the crap out of them on Xbox. When Indies see they can make money on the PlayStation Platforms, more will come and more big developers might join in.
7) PS4 is coming out and the focus is to make sure the launch is great on it. More so, almost all PS4 games will work on the Vita via Remote Play that has been improved (due to dedicated PS4 Hardware for streaming and Gaikai streaming software).
8) PlayStation Plus adds value to any of their platforms even the Vita. Free Games every month (Virtue Last Reward for instance is not purchasable in my city, PS+ gave it to me for free), automatic trophy syncs/updates/patches/cloud saves, early beta access, and giant game discounts ranging from 50% to 80% really improve your PlayStation experience including the Vita.
Some can sell the Vita short and say it is failing but to some of us do believe it's a great platform with already tons of great games to play and more are coming that we are looking forward to. PS4 is definitely going to give it a good shot in the arm as when the general public who buy the PS4 finds out they can play PS4 games away from the PS4 via the Vita, sales are going to jump. When that happens, there will be more Vita owners and more Vita owners will bring more game developers, and more game developers will bring more Vita games. Not many see this this way but a bright future is coming for the Vita, time is all that is needed...

I sincerely hope that you are right in terms of a brighter future for the Vita. Btw, I would add one more thing to your list: Playstation Mobile. I'm honestly not a big fan of indie-type games, as evidenced by my original post, but I am trying to be somewhat open to it; I have found four Playstation Mobile titles that I really like. And because of that, I make a point in looking in that category on the PSN much more frequently than I had done so in the past. Now with news that Chaos Rings from Square-Enix might be heading our way via that route, there is even more to look forward to.

Ice fascinates especially in the cold winter air. That's when ice-skating and the rest are fun in the village of Zermatt. Those, who seek a challenge, leave the village and challenge themselves with ice climbing. And sports out in the cold always make for hot ears.
Being active in bitter cold weather is a very special way to enjoy winter. Whether natural or artificial ice – people have always been fascinated by ice. Ice skating, Bavarian or Scottish curling. Or seeking the challenge in the wild world of ice falls.
On the Ice Rink and While Ice Climbing
The ice rinks in the centre of Zermatt are playgrounds for young and old. For Scottish or Bavarian curling and for ice-skating. And if the winter is cold enough, then one can set out into nature where it is possible to climb among the huge icicles at the icefalls.
Ice rinks and rental equipment
In the Obere Matten Sports and Recreation Arena in the middle of Zermatt, winter sports pleasure on ice is possible in practically any weather conditions. Equipment is available for rent from any of the nearby sports stores.

Annual appointments made
New Pequot Lakes School Board member Susan Mathison-Young, elected in November, was sworn into office at the Monday, Jan. 14, board meeting, as were Mike Erholtz, Kimberly Bolz-Andolshek and Curt Johnson, all re-elected in November.
Returned to board offices for 2013 were Valarie Wallin, chair; Derrek Johnson, vice chair; and Bolz-Andolshek, clerk/treasurer.
The board will continue to meet at 7 p.m. the third Monday of each month.
The board voted to keep the current board salaries — $250 per month with an additional $100 per day for full-day meetings — as in the past several years. Officer salaries also were kept the same as in the past at an additional $100 per month for the chair and an additional $50 per month for the clerk/treasurer.
The board named Lakes State Bank as the official depository and the Lake Country Echo as the official newspaper for 2013.

I want to raise 5-6 queens, mostly for the experience. I am planning on using the Miller method, so I attached some small pieces of foundation to the top bar. I'll put that into the middle of the brood area when it warms up a bit.
I see that once there are some eggs in this comb I am to cut the comb right between the eggs and the just hatched larva. That will leave the larva right on the edge. Why do I need to do that? What would likely happen if I just put the comb into the queenless hive? If the oldest larva is very young, it seems like I should be ok. So what am I missing?

Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment - America
Developer: Backbone Entertainment
Release Date: Summer 2005
Platform(s): PSP™ portable entertainment system
ESRB Rating: "T" for Teen
Genre: Third-Person Action/Platformer
Death Jr. is a new action platforming game that seamlessly blends elements from first-person shooters with the exploration of a third-person platformer and serves up a large dose of intense gameplay and weapon heavy combat for the PSP portable. The game stars Death, Jr. (DJ), the teenage son of the grim reaper, who is armed with a mighty scythe, a family heirloom which serves as both a weapon and a unique platforming tool, along with an arsenal of guns and explosives.
DJ has a number of friends he hangs out with – Pandora, an obsessive compulsive goth girl who can't put her hands on anything without trying to open it; Smith and Weston, a pair of brainiac twins conjoined at the head; Stigmartha, a girl who bleeds from her hands whenever she gets nervous; and the Seep, an armless, legless, foul-mouthed foreign exchange student in a vat.
On a field trip to the Museum of Supernatural History , this band of friends discovers a tantalizing box and, at the insistence of Pandora, opens it, unleashing Moloch, an ancient demon, and all of his minions into the world. DJ must overcome near insurmountable odds to save his friends and the world to keep from getting into some serious trouble with his dad.

Mothers of two women nearly kidnapped speak out
PUEBLO, Colo. - Two Pueblo women were nearly abducted in Pueblo on the same street in less than two weeks.
Last week, a 14-year-old girl was walking her dog along 31 Street and Colfax Avenue when a man got out of his car and started chasing her. On Tuesday, a similar situation unfolded involving a 27-year-old woman.
Gloria Atencio said her 27-year-old daughter went for a jog around her neighborhood Tuesday night. Soon after, her daughter sent her a cryptic message that left Atencio worried.
"I got a text 'Mom, mom' and at that point I knew something was wrong," Atencio said.
Atencio called and texted her daughter but didn't get a response. She began driving around, frantically looking for her.
"As I got close to her I noticed that it was her and I yelled out her name and all she said was 'Momma,'" Atencio said. "She was a mess. She was horrified."
Minutes earlier, Atencio said two men in a white truck had pulled up beside her daughter. The driver opened his car door so the woman ran away and hid in the bushes, waiting for the men to leave.
It was in the same spot last week when a 14-year-old girl was almost abducted. The teen's mother, Corrina Oldham, said her daughter is scared to be out in public. "We went to the grocery store the other night. She was totally covered and she was still afraid. She was hiding behind me and she says 'Mom, what if they're here in the store? What if they're looking at me? What if they recognize me?'"
Atencio and Oldham are on a mission to find the men who traumatized their daughters.
Oldham said, "We need to catch these people before it is somebody else."
The car used in Tuesday's attempted abduction is a white truck, two-door extended cab with dark tinted windows. Police believe the car used in last week's attempted abduction was a white, 1990s Toyota Corolla.
Police are searching for an Hispanic male in his mid-30s, bald with a thin mustache. The man involved in last week's attempted abduction is described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, with a fade haircut. Those who have information are urged to call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP.

Dispatches From Down East: My Potato Love/Hate Relationship

I confess: I have been wrapped up in a bit of a love affair. I have always enjoyed potatoes, but after my recent experience with our local potato festival, my love for that starchy tuber has been renewed. I don't know if it was the taste-testing on opening night or the experiences surrounding the festivities that further sparked my fever. All I know is this: from blossom to table, potatoes on P.E.I. rule the roost.

This happened in late April and it appears now that the top box is basically full of capped honey (difficult to examine them as the top bar pulls away from the comb body when I try to pull them out). I added a box (so now at three hive bodies) a day or two ago. As it is so early in the year I am tempted to pull the top box and get rid of the attic comb structures. Any thoughts?

I am thinking about buying some of Kellys foundationless frames, and would like to hear from someone who has them, what their bees think of them?
I am thinking about buying some of Kellys foundationless frames, and would like to hear from someone who has them, what their bees think of them?
I bought 50 of these frames last year. Used 10 so far. I placed the frames between drawn frames and the bees did well with them. I plan on using the other 40 later this year when I find the place I apparently hid them from myself.
I like them & my bees like them. No problems yet with them and as with any Kelley product, they are nice, heavy duty frames too.
In my opinion the side bars are to thin, they want to squeeze together in the hive causing the frame spacing to be to close. But my problem could be that I make my own boxes and they are not a perfect fit like Kelly's would be. I would go with wedge top frames especially if Mann's still has free shipping I bought 120 frames for 108 dollars last month.
Love the kelly frames. Robust, easy to assemble, and the girls seem to love them!
Thanks for starting this thread. Soon after I said I had some but they were misplaced, I found them. If you want, I can post some photos of the frames. They are rough compared to mannlake frames. However, they fit together much tighter and hold themselves together better when assembling. Right now I do it one frame at a time. If I had a jig, it would not matter one bit.
We bought 400 of them the beginning of this season and have about 250 of them in hives. The bees seem to like them, and they were easy to assemble.
Downside is they don't extract worth a darn.... don't know how you run, but I extract a lot of deep frames in the fall.
I am curious how well the medium foundationless frames to extracting. 90% of all my honey super are foundationless medium frames.
I agree with jdg1938. I bought 50 and had several of the side bars split inserting the top bar. I've never had that hapen with a wedge top bar.
I was unimpressed with the frames I bought. Maybe I got a bad batch. The end bars did not slip into the top bar. They were to tight and split like said above. I had to go back and remove material so that they would fit. Also had to modify bottom bar. If I would have assembled as they came the overall height would have been 9 1/4"-9 5/16". I just bought frames from dadant. Extremely nice. I will buy from them again.
Thanks Nick, did you have any trouble with the end bars, like some other people have?
The only issue I really have had is with the bottom bar splintering if I use a 1/4 staple to hold it down. The staple is just not wide enough to span the gap in the bottom bar. The splintering does not happen when I use a 18 gauge 1" brad in the bottom bar.
My frames are mediums and I did not measure the height of the finished frame. Each frame is glued and then held together by 8 brads or 4 staples.
I got my frames today and just got done putting 50 of them together. I used a staple on the tops and a couple of nails in the bottoms. I had no trouble with any of the frames at all. They went together nice tight, and square. I made the jig that was shown somewhere on here, thanks for that that, and thanks everone else.
Kangaroo, what do the bees use for a guide to start their combs?
I place the empty frames in-between 2 drawn frames and they have no problem drawing it straight.
So there is no comb guide what so ever?
>So there is no comb guide what so ever?
A drawn brood comb on each side is a very effective comb guide.

Earth Day
We are an earth-loving bunch at Coffee Bean International! We celebrated Earth Day for an entire week, which culminated in an energetic celebration today. Our "Conservation Tree" was a challenge to all employees on all three shifts to perform and log Eco-Deeds. Each time an employee performed an Eco-Deed, his/her name was entered into a raffle. A large percentage of employees participated with such deeds as biking or carpooling to work, shopping with re-usable bags, packing a waste-free lunch, giving up the desk trash can, switching to CFL bulbs, and using cold water for laundry. Our generous suppliers and partners donated many of our exciting prizes for our deeds. Today, we did a clean-up of our "neighborhood" on the banks of the Columbia Slough. We collected mattresses, bike frames, shopping cart, gate, signs, sprinkler heads, and lots and lots of plastic stuff. And, we did a recycling sorting relay, hosted by our friends at Recology to emphasize the importance of getting the recyclables into the appropriate recycling stream.
All of these activities support the mission of our S.E.E.D. (social, environmental, economic development) teams to provide the highest-quality coffee with purpose and authenticity. We pledge to develop strategies that link people, process, product, place, and profits, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the welfare of future generations.

Avista works with tribes, local and state historic preservation offices, advisory councils, and other interested stakeholders to identify, protect and manage cultural resources associated with our Clark Fork and Spokane River hydroelectric projects, as well as with facilities and projects throughout our service territory.
Our commitment to enhancing relationships with the area's indigenous people is reflected in the company's appointment of a full-time Tribal liaison. Avista's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license to operate our Spokane River Project, issued in June 2009, comprehensively resolved numerous issues that had divided Avista and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, in particular, for a century, including those pertaining to land use, water use, potential trespass, resource usage and Tribal sovereignty. The Tribe agrees with Avista that these agreements have fostered a mutual spirit of cooperation and trust that will allow Avista and the Tribe to work together over the term of the new license and beyond to ensure continued efficient operation of an important hydroelectric resource. At the same time, the agreements protect and enhance the Tribe's natural and cultural resources and provide the Tribe with appropriate compensation for Avista's use of its land and waters.
In 2010, as part of our 4(e) conditions of the FERC license to operate our Spokane River Project, we developed a cultural resource management plan in cooperation with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, and monitored cultural resources within the boundaries of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation.
The Clark Fork Management Committee, which oversees implementation activities for the FERC license to operate Avista's Clark Fork Project, reviewed and monitored implementation activities (especially ground-disturbing activities) that had the potential to impact cultural or historic resources within the boundaries of the Clark Fork Project. The committee also completed annual field monitoring of existing cultural sites, as it has done for over ten years.
Several Avista facilities have been identified as having historic importance and as eligible for listing on the National Historic Register. As part of our Spokane River FERC license, in 2010, we developed and submitted two Historical Properties Management Plans, one for Washington and one for Idaho. We also worked closely with state and tribal historic preservation officers as appropriate on construction projects in our service territory.

Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill
The House Energy and Water Development appropriations bill provides $30.6 billion in discretionary budget authority, $1 billion, or 3 percent, below the enacted FY11 levels and $5.9 billion below the president's request, a 16 percent decrease. The total funding for the bill is almost at 2006 levels.
The bill includes $24.7 billion for the Department of Energy, $4.8 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers and $934 million for the Department of the Interior. The spending levels in the bill do not exceed the 302(b) allocations adopted by the Appropriations Committee which are consistent with the overall spending level approved by the House in the Budget Resolution (H. Con. Res. 34).
National Security Programs. The bill provides $10.6 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration, which builds and maintains the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile and naval nuclear reactors. This is above fiscal year 2011 levels, but $1.1 billion below the level requested by the administration. The bill also provides $5.8 billion for nuclear waste disposal and environmental clean-up associated with the nuclear weapons complex. This is $39 million below 2011 enacted levels and $515 million below the administration request.
Civilian Energy Programs. The bill includes $8.1 billion for civilian energy programs, 35 percent below the administration's request of $12.4 billion. The bill provides $1.3 billion for DOE's Office of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, a reduction of $647 million or 33 percent from the president's request and $530 million below fiscal year 2011. The bill reduces DOE's Office of Science funding to $4.8 billion, $616 million, or 11 percent, off the administration's request and $69 million from last year's level. But basic research for energy technologies would see a funding boost of $24 million over the FY12 request. The bill also directs the reinstatement of activities at the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and includes $35 million for the nuclear waste fund and licensing, which was zeroed out in the administration's FY12 request.
Water Programs. The Army Corps of Engineers would receive $4.8 billion, $100 million less than in 2011, or 1.8 percent, but $195 million above the president's request. The funding for this account is below 2005 enacted levels, in part a result of no congressional earmarks in the bill. The bill provides $852 million, $47 million or 8.5 percent less than the fiscal year 2012 request for the Bureau of Reclamation.
The bill adds $27 million above the current year level and at the President's request for navigation and flood control construction activities. In addition, it also provides the Army Corps an additional $380 million in general program funds with a requirement for a congressional report within 45 days on how the Corps will prioritize this funding for flood control and navigation projects.
Emergency Spending. The bill includes $1 billion in emergency flood relief offset by the rescission of emergency stimulus funds for high-speed rail.
Reclassification of Revenues. The bill reclassifies mandatory receipts as discretionary offsetting collections allowing those funds to be used to reduce the level of discretionary spending scored against the bill. Receipts from the Power Marketing Administration, since FY 2010, have been used to offset spending for annual expenses. In addition, the bill concurs with the administration's request and directs the sale of $500 million of Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) oil. (This is in addition to the sale of 30 million barrels of oil announced by the administration on June 23, 2011.) Under permanent law, proceeds from the sale of oil from the SPR are deposited in a special treasury account and are only available for refilling the SPR. Instead the bill directs that the $500 million in anticipated receipts be deposited in a different treasury account and be used to offset spending in the bill.

A Perfect Pet
Read the story, "The Perfect Pet ".
Do you have a dog or know someone else who does? If you do, you know having a dog means more than just finding one that is cute and cuddly. You have to care for it.
In this lesson, you will learn about the economic wants of pets and their owners.
Pets depend on their owners to provide the goods and services that keep them healthy and happy. These goods and services are called economic wants.
Read about the economic wants of pet owners.
Imagine you are the little girl who has just chosen a dog as her perfect pet.
- What things would you want for your new pet?
Few pet owners have enough money to buy everything they want for their pets. This is called a scarcity problem. Scarcity forces people to make choices.
- If you could buy just five of the many things at the pet store for your new dog, what would you buy?
- Which of your choices are the same as those of your classmates?
- Why do you think these choices were the same? Which of your wants are different?
- Why do you think these choices were different?
Imagine the little girl in "The Perfect Pet" picked a fish instead of a dog as her new pet. She has only $5.00 to make her purchases. Help her decide what she will buy for her new fish.
Some of our wants are the same, but not all. Our likes, our values, and what we already have help explain the differences.
Tell why some of your choices in Activity 2 are different from those of your classmates. Why are others the same?

Coach and Horses - Newport
We are a young couple, Im(Sofia) from Sweden and Wayne is from Essex. We are applying for a pub in the Saffron Walden area, and we are very certain we will be able to take it over.
It is from the 1500 century, and very run down. It really needs a LOT of TLC.
We are planning to introduce some saffron dishes, as well as some Swedish dishes.
The pubs name is Coach and Horses, and it is located in Newport; across the street from Jamie's old school.
We are aware that it is located very close to Jamies' parents pub, and this fact scares us a little bit.
Does anyone know how the trade is around that area?
We do not want to interfer with The Cricketers market, (which probably would be "impossible" anyways) but we want to be a part of the Saffron Walden area's success!
Do you think we are taking water over our heads???
Pleased to hear from anyone with valuable information!

Re: Coach and Horses - Newport
Love for the work, determination and lots of hard work, has never stopped anybody who really wants to succeed. Look at Jamie O. himself !
I am sure, even though I am in Norway and have never been to a pub, that there should be room for more than one pub in the same area, even if the other one is better known for now.
You are not serving the same food, and where else would people taste Swedish food in that area ? By the way, nice name Sofia - same as my daugther.
Head up and go for it, I say.....

Re: Coach and Horses - Newport
Writing as someone from the local area, I would say that you would not be competing with the Cricketers.The Cricketers food is fantastic but is somewhere really quite special to go and I believe you would be aiming at a different Market. If you tried to keep your menu at a lower price with a good range you should do well especially if you are offering something a bit different. There is another Pub in nearby Arkesden which has won lots of food awards too. Which may be good to compare with as this too aims at a different market to the Cricketers.
The other pub in Newport The White Horse does great classic English Pub grub food (eg fish and chips and Pie n Mash) at great prices but is only small and I don't think they serve food every night, whereas at the Coach and Horses you have the space. You can also get the passing trade. This pub used to be very popular and I am sure can be again with the right people at the helm. It would be good to have somewhere else to go!! Go for it!!

Re: Coach and Horses - Newport
I have many years experience of running food led pubs and being close to a well established one can only be a good thing. - especially a famous one as people are prepared to travel to the area. My advice is keep it simple; a few well chosen freshly prepared dishes is much better than a complicated choice of frozen ones.
Expect to work very, very long hours and have enough working capital to see you through the first six months. It is more than a business, it is a way of life.
Wishing you much success.

Jack, enjoy TOH and always like to hear your opinion. Maurice
I would like to bring to your attention the ongoing problems in the forum HVAC section with an individual that signs himself HVHEHCCA.
While he has not personally caused me any problems yet, he has constantly berated and insulted numerous members of the forum since he arrived here about 6 months ago; his focus originally seemed to be only Nashua Tech, but now he has expanded his insults to numerous other members.
While I'm aware that the members can "blockout" threads from an offensive contributor, in this case, there is a problem that affects the entire forum postings, not only for the members being slammed, but for all who have to read them, especially "first time" homeowners, etc., who are writing in seeking help.
I would therefore request that you do whatever you can to have HVHEHCCA's forum posting privileges rescinded until he sees the light and ceases to cast his insults onto the rest of us.
Thank you,

Freedom of expression and hate speech continue to dominate internet rights discourse at UPR
BOGOTA, May 21 (APC)
Between 22 April and 3 May 2013, the UN Human Rights Council held the 16th session of its Universal Periodic Review. The human rights records of 14 countries were under review including Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Canada, Cameroon, Colombia, Cuba, Germany, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
As part of the internet rights are human rights (IRHR) project, APC, together with its members and partners, developed submissions for the inclusion of internet-related human rights issues in the recommendations made for the reviews of Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Canada and Colombia.
Azerbaijan received one recommendation from the Czech Republic specifically referencing Internet Rights, to "[t]ake effective measures to ensure the full realization of the rights to freedom of expression, including on the internet". Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan received similar recommendations.
Cameroon, Canada and Colombia did not receive IR-specific recommendations, but did receive recommendations regarding issues that APC members and its network encompass in their work including freedom of the press, protection of journalists and human rights defenders, education, freedom of association and violence against women. APC continues to develop partnerships in these countries and to look for strategic leverage points for future advocacy.
In the review of Bangladesh, it was pointed out that there has been increasing international attention to media expression after the arrest of the acting editor of Amar Desh and nineteen other employees of that newspaper. Bangaldesh received a recommendation from Norway to "[t]ake effective measures to ensure freedom of expression and a safe enabling environment for social media," and another recommendation from Canada to "[t]ake steps to ensure that civil society can operate without intimidation and to ensure freedom of the press, including for independent media."
Finally, during the review of Germany, the country received a number of recommendations regarding online hate speech from China, Iran, Uruguay and Malaysia, including a recommendation from Uruguay to "strengthen all necessary measures to effectively prohibit and prevent incitement to hatred and racist propaganda, particularly on the internet."
These recommendations demonstrate the growing trend for States to recognise the impact of the internet on fundamental rights to expression and freedom from discrimination. At the same time, it is necessary to raise awareness of the impact of the internet on other important human rights issues, including violence against women, education and freedom of association. APC will continue to work to raise awareness of these human rights issues at the Universal Periodic Review and other international human rights mechanisms.

Washington's Own High-Alpine Bavaria
Adventure Inn • Leavenworth, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Adults in a Two-Bedroom Suite, Sundays through Wednesdays (Not Valid in August)
- $50 Credit Toward Food at Der Hinterhof Beer Garden
- One Wine Tasting for Four Guests at Bergdorf Cellars or Baroness Cellars
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
What do the oft-romanticized and forever-ogled Bavarian Alps have that our own ranges in the Western United States don't? Lederhosen, a ginger-bread architectural style, and a hot talent pool of polka tubists, perhaps. But Leavenworth—Washington's very own Bavarian village tucked into a nook of the Cascade Mountains—is not your typical American town.
The Digs
The Adventure Inn, nestled in the heart of this Pacific Northwest curiosity about two hours east of Seattle, sits at the gateway to Waterfront Park and adjacent to the trails set along the Wenatchee River. The two-bedroom suites at this nine-unit inn feature a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffeemaker; a large living room; and two separate bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and a TV, while the second bedroom has either a king- or queen-size bed, and the living area is appointed with a queen-size sofa sleeper. You'll also get complimentary Internet and HBO. Upgrade to a Thursday/Friday stay for $49 or a Saturday/Sunday stay for $79.
The Diversions
Leavenworth's setting beside the dramatically steep mountains of the Cascade Range gives the sense that the village really could be set in the Alps: In the warmer months, nature lovers lace up their hiking boots and rock climbing shoes (see: Icicle Canyon), or put on shorts and T-shirts to raft or tube the pristine waters of the Icicle and Wenatchee rivers.
There's no better way to end an adventurous day here than at Der Hinterhof, an indoor-outdoor beer garden attached to the hotel. A selection from the list of local and international craft beers is best paired with a locally made bratwurst, all complemented by the live musicians who take the stage several nights a week. But it's not all about the beer here. Leavenworth is also home to a few choice wineries, and you'll get the chance to indulge in tastings at your choice of winery, either Bergdorf Cellars or Baroness Cellars.
"We absolutely loved Adventure Inn. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, and the indoor beer garden downstairs was really cool! It's a great place to take the family and within walking distance to everything in town and to the beautiful river below."-- TripAdvisor
