The Williamsons purchased their winning ticket at QuikTrip, 1617 Gravois Road in High Ridge. They let the computer generate the numbers on their winning ticket. Those numbers were: 5, 7, 14, 18, 32 and 43.
In addition to the Williamson's prize money, the store will receive a bonus equal to 1 percent of the jackpot - in this case $65,000 - for selling the winning jackpot ticket.
To date, 183 jackpot tickets worth $1 million or more have been sold since the Missouri Lottery began nearly 17 years ago. Of those winning tickets, 135 were winning Lotto jackpots.

BRITISH finance minister George Osborne has laughed off Barack Obama's G8 gaffe when he repeatedly called the chancellor "Jeffrey".
The US president apparently mixed the chancellor up with one of his favourite soul singers, Jeffrey Osborne.
"It's nice to be on first name terms with the President of the United States, even if he sometimes gets the name wrong, that's the way I look at it," the chancellor joked.
The inside gossip from the summit in Northern Ireland led to a bizarre suggestion from the R&B star - whose hits include 1980s tune On the Wings Of Love - that they could sing a duet together.
Appearing on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show alongside shadow chancellor Ed Balls, Osborne explained that "sadly I can't sing".
Balls - a big fan of showing off his vocal skills at karaoke - said "go on George, sing".
But the chancellor said: "He asked me to do a duet but sadly I can't sing. He then asked me for a game of golf but I can't play golf. It's not going very well this new friendship."
He acknowledged that the US singer was "the cool Osborne".

The ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh has the strength to face the no confidence motion proposed to be moved by the TRS, the party's state unit said on Monday.
"I doubt if it (no-confidence motion) will be accepted at all. We have the strength to prove majority," Andhra Pradesh Congress President D Srinivas said told reporters in Hyderabad. He was replying to questions about the TRS' decision to move a no confidence motion against the government in the budget session of the Assembly beginning on February 17.
Asked about the decision of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC), that also comprises government employees, to start a non cooperation agitation from February 17, Srinivas said the government was holding discussions with the staff.
Seeking to corner TDP, TRS has said it will move a no confidence motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy Government in the budget session and asked the main opposition party to support it in the same.
The TRS decision has come in the wake of a war of words between TDP and TRS. The TDP has alleged that the TRS is not sincere in achieving separate Telangana, and had a clandestine understanding with the Congress.
"We will move a no confidence motion against the Congress Government. If TDP is sincere in fighting against Congress, it should support us," TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao has said.

Protective Barriers Or New Jogging Track?
The installation of TrapBag barriers began on Monday, June 10th. The Department of Parks and RECREATION had a contractor install the protective devices, which also double as a jungle gym, starting on Beach 126th Street and heading east, under the management of TrapBag representatives.
While the devices currently remain open, allowing for kids to climb them freely, Parks says that they will be covered. When installation is complete, a top is placed on each cell and the Parks Department says they will "be incorporated into a semi-dune when the Army Corps sand comes in." The sand replenishment is set to begin sometime at the end of this month or in July.
The TrapBag barriers are part of a temporary plan to protect the beach before the next storm season. "The plan is not to have them there forever," a Parks Department spokesman said. They are also considering using HESCO barriers as part of this temporary plan and the Parks Department is still in talks with the HESCO company about the possible installation.
In the first phase of the Trap- Bag installation, the devices will be placed from Beach 108th Street to Beach 126th Street with the installation starting west and working its way east. A second phase will include an installation from Beach 108th Street to Beach 55th Street.

It has been a while since a movie has shown an epic, yet emotional sweep that sucks the audience in like a whirlpool. "Titanic" and, of course, "Gone With the Wind" come to mind.
With the backdrop of the end of British colonialism in India (circa 1937), "Before the Rains" connects through its soap opera intimacy as a turbulent world swirls around its conflicted characters.
Maintaining the high standards of its releasing company, Merchant Ivory, Director/Cinematographer Santosh Sivan and screenwriter Cathy Rabin have fashioned a gorgeously filmed story of a handsome English spice farmer Henry Moores (Linus Roache), who is determined to carve a road through the jungle in Kerala to better transport his product before the monsoon season begins.
The key to his success is his loyal Western-educated Indian aide-decamp T.K. (Rahul Bose), instrumental in the road's design and supplying local workers at near-slave wages. However, there is a bump in the road. And, it's a big one.
Henry is having a roaring affair with his beautiful native housemaid, Sajani (Nandita Das), who happens to be married, as is Henry.
One night, Sajani, appears at the Moores ranch beaten and bleeding. Her no-nonsense husband, Rajat (Lal Paul), has discovered her indiscretion, though he is unaware of the identity of her sex partner. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Henry's wife, Laura (Jennifer Ehle) and young son, Peter (Leopold Benedict).
The only solution is to get Sajani as far away as possible. To whom does Henry turn? His man, T.K.
The devoted servant does what he's told, but heartbroken Sajani returns. Faced with total rejection from her lover, she grabs a revolver and shoots herself - a revolver recently given T.K. as a gift from his boss and once spotted by Sajani's brother.
A massive hunt for now-hidden housemaid takes the laborers from time-is-crucial road project. Henry is lying like crazy, as T.K. is caught in the crossfire, his loyalties drawn between his British boss and his own people. Tragedy builds to a conclusion where personal and cultural worlds collide.
Don't miss "Before the Rains." See it before it washes away.

Hi, I'm new here but am hoping some of you can offer me words of wisdom. I'm planning an unassisted pregnancy and childbirth, but every other site I've check says to "check with your OB" ... and that's not something I want to do right now. :-)
I am 6w5d pregnant with my fourth child but think I may be having a miscarriage. Here are my symptoms...
I'd been having some brownish spotting about once or twice a day for the last week (not unlike what I experienced in my last two pregnancies, which went to term). Then yesterday evening, I had bright red blood that lasted about 1-2 hours. It then stopped, though I had just a little more of pinkish-red this morning.
During & after the bleeding yesterday evening, I had some cramping that seemed to come in waves like contractions. Those too stopped, and I only had a little bit of aching earlier this afternoon.
For the last 5-6 days, I had felt very nauseous ... but that has gone away almost completely today.
I'd had some very obvious breast changes already, but today the firmness of my breasts and size of nipples has gone back to normal.
So my question for all you wise ladies - do you think a miscarriage is impending? I'm feeling uncertain because the bleeding has stopped. I did have another miscarriage in 2003 - that time, when the bleeding started, it didn't stop.
Do you know of any other way to know for certain if the pregnancy is ending (i.e. if the baby has died/stopped growing) other than going for an ultrasound?
Thank you so much for any input.
I had an early miscarriage. For me, the pregnancy tests never got any darker, they stayed faint for 4 days. It started with some cramping, then the spotting started, and within a few hours turned into heavy bleeding. Much heavier and clottier than a normal period. I also experienced cramping like I did before I switched to cloth pads. Bad enough that I needed to take some ibuprofen for relief. I took another pregnancy test before I took it, and it was negative. I took my temp the following morning (we charted to TTC) and it had dropped.
The following month we conceived this baby. I had the same spotting and cramping and thought for sure I was having another, but it stopped, and I'm 30 weeks pregnant.
Have you considered taking a pregnancy test? Were you charting? If you have a baseline, taking your temp in the morning would tell you....
Good luck!
I don't think you have reason to believe a miscarriage is likely at this point. A couple of hours of bleeding is minimal and can often occur in successful pregnancies.
I had heavy bleeding with large clots quite early in my twin pregnancy. Many women have had scary bleeding that did not lead to a loss, and symptoms can vary at that point. The next few days will probably make things more clear for you.
ME&HE... loving our: dd(18) ~~ds(13) dd(13)~~ dd(10)
I had something similar happen to me w/ my third at 9 weeks. I did go into the hospital & they said it was a placental lake, resulting in miscarriage about 50% of the time. We were spared that time. They wanted to keep me overnight in case but we declined & went home to wait it out. There was still a heartbeat at the follow up appt. for us. W/out an ultrasound it's just a waiting game.

Why is it that when I am looking at someone across the street they often turn their heads to look at me?
Have you ever seen The Truman Show?
All animals, including birds and even insects are extremely sensitive to being watched. Stare at your pet cat and it averts its gaze; to the cat this is a potential threat and you are too big for it to consider taking on. Stare at a big dog and you might just provoke it into attacking you.
We can, and often do, communicate by eye contact alone: if you look at the bone you have thrown for your dog, it can find it by following where you are looking. The subconscious part of our brain is working all the time. We see, but don't have to bother about how the image in front of us has been obtained and processed. The brain does that automatically, just as when we walk we don't have to think about the process of walking; the brain takes care of all that.
So it is with the person on the other side of the street. That person looks straight ahead absorbed in deciding where to go, but their peripheral vision notes the set of the heads of the other pedestrians and the direction of their gaze. And if one happens to be looking directly at them, the subconscious brain alerts the conscious brain to tell them that they are being watched and they react by checking you out.
Terence Hollingworth, Blagnac, France
How do you know that people across the street who you are not looking at don't also turn their heads to look at you? You can't know they don't, because you're not looking at them.

What is the best last line of a novel?
"The knife came down, missing him by inches, and he took off." And thus Yossarian departs Joseph Heller's Catch-22.
Ged Dale, Eccles, Lancs
Probably few readers reach the end of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, possibly the only work to end on a definite article: "A way a lone a last a loved a long the".
Gavin Ross, Harpenden, Herts
This just has to be included: "So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest a little boy and his Bear will always be playing." – AA Milne, The House at Pooh Corner.
Elizabeth Carlisle, Lancaster
"I been away a long time." – One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey. Simple, yet poignant.
I frequently return to this, most poignant and memorable last line: "For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs." – Middlemarch: George Eliot
Wendy Jenrick, Sheffield
Your contributor must have read an abridged copy of The High Window (N&Q, 16 February); the last line in my copy reads: "'You and Capablanca,' I said."
Ron Atkinson, Buckhurst Hill, Essex
The best last line occurs in many chick lit and airport novels, etc. It is The End.
Robert Larmour, Belfast
I was amazed to hear that Worzel Gummidge will be starring in a film. Which other TV favourites are ripe for the Hollywood treatment?
An all-star radical reimagining of Camberwick Green: PC McGarry number 452 (Colin Firth), a troubled alcoholic with a heart of gold, chases the serial killer brutally slaying the soldiers at Pippin Fort, who turns out to be his foxy but secretly deranged girlfriend, Mrs Honeyman (Angelina Jolie).
Or maybe a transatlantic mash-up: Freddy Krueger v Bagpuss, or Predator in Balamory. The possibilities are endless, as long as the screenwriters don't actually have to come up with an original, intelligent idea.
Any answers?
How long do house spiders live? There's one in my bathroom and I need to know when I can stop strip-washing in the downstairs loo.

I'm really excited by Ryan Jordan's new gear list recommendations. But I'm wondering if we can all start providing Costs in addition to Weights in those lists. Of course, using the standard exchange rates: 1pp=5gp, 1gp=20sp, 1sp=10cp. I'm always stuck deciding between lots of equipment options, e.g. the Petzel e-Lite and a Hooded Lantern. I know that example is a no-brainer for most of you because you don't bother with encumberance either. And that's why the Costs would really be more helpful. Weights are cool to read and all, but, whatever. Right now, what's important, is that I'm down to copper pieces after stocking up on spell components; I had a crappy roll out of my 2d4x10gp

W I S N E R !BPL Member
Blah…the Bag of Holding is the oldest trick in the book.
While they're certainly very cool, it's really a cheap plot device used by lazy DMs and uncreative players to avoid dealing with the inevitable impossible reality of:
Where the hell am I carrying 19 scrolls, 10 flasks of Holy Water, lockpicking tools, 2 Potions of Cure Lt. Wounds, a heavy crossbow, 4 torches, a bedroll, and a 1 gallon jug of mead? Let alone the bag of caltrops, a fine silk rope, and what could easily amount to 47 pounds of gold and silver coinage.
And how is it that all those potion bottles and flasks aren't destroyed every time you're bull-rushed by a Bugbear?
Good to hear from you Michael, happy travels.Oct 12, 2011 at 5:27 pm #1789752

Ah, brings back wonderful memories of D & D! Used to be a DM back before computers were added to the mix. Had to draw and write everything by hand. Good to see the illustration quality has improved! I had bags of holding, to a certain extent, but provided rooms and chests where characters could keep the overflow of their gear. Sometimes those rooms or chests got raided or broken into!
Showing prices in gear lists would be fine, but for me not so necessary. I can look up most of the stuff on the internet, whereas the weights are better listed so you get more accuracy.
What I don't understand are gear lists that separate stuff you wear from stuff you carry. They're all weight, no matter where on your body they are… so why isn't everything listed on the gear lists?Oct 12, 2011 at 5:32 pm #1789755
Ryan JordanAdmin
@ryanLocale: Rocky Mountains
Miguel, great comment, and I agree. Reformatting our gear lists is on my radar.
For clothes, I usually think of them in terms of three buckets:
– warm weather trekking clothes (trekking shirt, underwear, pants, socks, cap)
– storm clothes (wind shirt, rain jacket, rain pants, base layer shirt)
– camp / sleeping clothes (insulating jacket and pants, dry socks)
But even this is arbitrary.Oct 12, 2011 at 5:44 pm #1789761

@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
Miguel: "What I don't understand are gear lists that separate stuff you wear from stuff you carry."
I think that the distinction is primarily because most people want to compare pack weights rather than what they are wearing. It also lets some people exclude from pack weight items carried in pockets, allowing some fudging of numbers. It's inevitable, IMHO, when the weight comparison game becomes too competitive.
It's very true that the total weight carried by one's knees and feet includes clothes worn and those pocket contents (skin out weight). Also, if you want to analyze the total clothing system, you must include what's being worn! Of course if we scrap "base weight" of the pack in favor of something like "base skin-out weight," we could end up with lists designed for "Naked Hiker Day"!
As for me, I have never understood why cameras are never included in gear lists, even though the list authors illustrate their reports with pictures of their trip!Oct 12, 2011 at 7:34 pm #1789806

Th crappy plot devices typically included some suspension of disbelief. It's an RPG fer christsake. Though we let go of the High Fantasy gaming around the time we stopped reading Poul Anderson.
Completely of topic (snicker): Should I include Josh Billings in my SUL gear list? I'm 4lbs carried and worn with that guy as a trail partner. He's something of a Bag of Holding meets a Deck of Many Things.

Makes sense to me to have separate notation of worn vs. carried items totaled at the bottom. While it is all weigh on your knees and has to be hauled uphill, the weight of the items carried in the pack may effect the choice of pack in terms of structure/hip belt.Oct 12, 2011 at 10:16 pm #1789866
Derek CoxSpectator
@derekcoxLocale: Southeast
If we are going to nitpick about whether worn gear such as sunglasses, watch, and clothing worn while hiking should be counted in our total weight since it still must be supported by our legs and feet then I propose that hiker weight should also be included, as it must be carried by your feet as well. If you pack weight is 8 lbs, worn gear is another 3 lbs, and you weigh 150 lbs, then total weight is 161 lbs. SUL could be around 130 lbs maybe? Would be easier for women I suppose…Oct 13, 2011 at 12:05 am #1789888

I was super excited to try this product, but once I applied it, it just felt too greasy. I waited awhile to see if it would absorb, but it didn't and I didn't notice a huge difference before and after application. Also, the smell was strong, but not particularly enjoyable. I was hoping it would smell more flowery versus medicinal.2

Is 105 a good IQ score for a 12 year old?
90-109 is considered average. However, it's 10% aptitude, and 90% attitude. If it's in your heart to do something, you can do it. Never let an IQ or aptitude score indicate what you are capable of....

Hello All!
Once again, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities North America (GRHC) is having an upcoming event in New York City!
We would love it if you could pass the word along through any means you see fit, or just to anyone you think might find this information useful. If you are not the appropriate point of contact for this kind of thing, please let me know who I may speak with.
Overview of Program
The Green Roof Professional (GRP) accreditation program is comprised of four full-day courses that offer participants from a diverse range of disciplines the knowledge and skills required to successfully market, design, budget, install and maintain green roofs. Green Roof Design 101, Green Roof Infrastructure: Design and Installation 201, Green Roof Waterproofing and Drainage 301 and Green Roof Plants and Growing Media 401 are recommended training for individuals preparing to write the accreditation exam. Each course also includes a 100+ page course manual.
Also, the participants of the 2nd course (Green Roof Infrastructure: Design & Installation 201), will have the opportunity to have a tour of the NYC Parks Department's 29,000 square foot green roof research facility, comprised of over 25 distinct systems.

02 2500HD brakes
Not sure if this ought to be in the Tow Rigs or Chevy forum.
In any case, here goes.
Pretty sure I have toasted another set of rear rotors on the truck. Seems the calipers get stuck and the rotor gets chewed up. More so in the areas that use road salt. I can blame myself (to a point) for not taking things apart and cleaning up the caliper pins.
OK, I can put another set of rotors and pads on but the fact remains.
The factory brakes (IMHO) don`t work all that well to start with.
What are you folks finding to be good replacement parts ? I`ll give up some pad life for improved stopping power.
EBC, Bendix, Wagner ??
It was some 4-5 years ago when the pads were replaced so I don`t remember what the hell I put on. All I know is that there has to be a better setup then what I am running.
Thanks to the PBB wrecking crew.
Sent with smoke signal.

Ex-deputies file suit against Johnson.
By ALICIA LEONARD
A federal discrimination lawsuit was filed April 22 against Walton County Sheriff Ralph Johnson in the U.S. District Court in Pensacola by an attorney representing the two former deputies.
Plaintiffs Kristen Infinger and Melissa Vause are seeking $75,000 plus attorney's fees, costs and damages, according to the complaint. They claim they were discriminated against by Johnson due to their gender and because they were pregnant.
Marie Mattox, attorney for Infinger and Vause, has publicly declined comments on the case due to the risk of possibly jeopardizing the lawsuit. She has also advised her clients not to speak to the media, as well.
Capt. Eddie Farris responded in kind when asked about the lawsuit. "Now that it has been filed, Sheriff Johnson cannot comment on the case. But as his spokesperson, I can say that the sheriff is confident that the facts of the case will come out in court and will speak for themselves and he did not discriminate against the women because of their gender or pregnancy."

Moving Fast with a Healthy Breakfast
If you're like me, you might feel like you're running a thousand miles an hour through your life and it can be a challenge to remember to eat the most important meal of the day – breakfast. Kids need a nutritious breakfast, too, to keep them energized and focused throughout the school day. One of the most important parts of my training is making sure I eat a healthy breakfast, which helps me perform my best both on the track and off.
Oatmeal is one of my favorite things to eat in the morning before a long training session. It's my go-to for a power breakfast! Oatmeal is easy to make while at home or on the road, it doesn't take a lot of time, and it gives me the energy I need to get through my training workouts. To top it off, I'll add a little milk, fresh fruit and nuts. It may sound simple, but it's what gets me started each day.
We all need to be healthy and strong to be at our best, whether you're at the gym, in the classroom or at work. The good news is that it just got easier for students across the Nation to get a nutritious start to their day.
Changes to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's School Breakfast Program, based on the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, are being implemented across America this school year, and kids now have expanded healthy options to start their day. Healthy eating and physical activity can help students perform at their best, which is why you should consider school breakfast as a way for your kids to start the day. For all the students out there, don't run on empty, energize your day with healthy school breakfast!

Proudly serving Traverse City and other nearby areas
Efficiency from the earth. In summer, a GHP uses the refrigerant cycle and a ground loop system to move heat from indoors to the earth. In winter, the system reverses and heat can be moved from the earth to the home. Drawings supplied by PixyJackPress.com.
Are you ready to upgrade to a geothermal heat pump? This type of HVAC system is also known by other names: ground-source heat pump, earth-coupled heat pump, etc. Here at GeoFurnace Heating & Cooling, LLC, we find that many homeowners are interested in geothermal heat pumps because of the numerous advantages they have over other HVAC systems.
Take advantage of all the benefits of geothermal heating and cooling. GeoFurnace Heating & Cooling, LLC installs quality geothermal heat pump systems in Michigan. We are the area's trusted HVAC contractor, serving Petoskey, Williamsburg, Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Cadillac and nearby. Contact us today for a Free Estimate!
Some systems have limitations that just do not apply to others. As with anything home performance-wise, there are lots of options and everything claims superiority. However, let's investigate the facts of these two systems. Air-source heat pumps provide both heating and air conditioning just like a geothermal unit, but an air-source heat pump simply becomes inferior in below freezing weather conditions. This may be somewhat understandable, as that is quite serious weather! But, if there were a system that doesn't back down to even those extremes, wouldn't you want that system instead?
Geothermal units are 6 feet below the ground and rely on the deep and steady earth temperature, removing the element of climate surprises. Whether the outside weather is extremely cold or very hot, the earth's stable temperature is the perfect heat source for our geothermal system. Your summer days can now be comfortable and less humid without any trouble from your system.
Not only do you receive year-round comfort with a geothermal unit, but some can also include a "desuperheater" for the added benefit of hot water washing! You'll see incredible savings using this system for its reliability and ability to reduce your water heating expenses. If you're looking for the "gold standard" for economic heating and cooling, you have found it in the geothermal system!
At GeoFurnace Heating & Cooling, LLC we offer home energy services that improve your home's comfort and reduce your carbon footprint and energy expense. Who isn't looking to cut back on their utility bill? Contact us today and we will provide a Free Estimate for our heating and cooling solutions in and around Williamsburg, Elk Rapids, Petoskey, Cadillac, Traverse City, Rapid City, Interlochen, Charlevoix, Kingsley, Kalkaska, Leland, Suttons Bay and more! You can give us a call or contact us online and we'll gladly schedule a Free Estimate for a geothermal heat pump installation or home energy audit that evaluates the efficiency of your entire home!

Celebrity Equinox Review - MediterraneanAuthor: Lorene Alston
Date of Trip: November 2012
Celebrity: Loved the ship, esp the lawns, glass blowing demo's. But couple issues. We do not like that they load refrigerator in room for you to BUY drinks. All drinks are very expensive, even bottled water. We noticed many did not order wine at the table at $36.+ a bottle. There was a major push for us to purchase Specialty Dining on board from waiters, staff in hallways, phoning our room, sending us invitations, etc. and we did not appreciate the SALES PITCH. Very tacky! They must be losing money on all these restaurants. (?) Shore excursions are expensive. Try other means, get your own. They are all the same...
The floor in the Oceanview Grill was very "sticky" in the line from day to day. They did not clean the floors apparently.... that needs upkeep.

Lateral movements in composite high-rise buildings under seismic action
Fatima, T., Fawzia, S., & Nasir, A. (2012) Lateral movements in composite high-rise buildings under seismic action. In Proceedings of the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference, Engineers Australia, Perth, Western Australia, pp. 1-8.
Accepted Version
(PDF 217kB)
View at publisher (open access)
Daring human nature has already led to the construction of high-rise buildings in naturally challenging geological regions and in worse environments of the world. However; literature review divulges that there is a lag in research of certain generic principles and rules for the prediction of lateral movement in multistorey construction. The present competitive trend orders the best possible used of available construction material and resources. Hence; the mixed used of reinforced concrete with structural steel is gaining prevalence day by day. This paper investigates the effects of Seismic load on composite multistorey building provided with core wall and trusses through FEM modelling. The results showed that increased rigidity corresponds to lower period of vibration and hence higher seismic forces. Since Seismic action is a function of mass and response acceleration, therefore; mass increment generate higher earthquake load and thus cause higher impact base shear and overturning movement. Whereas; wind force depends on building exposed, larger the plan dimension greater is the wind impact. Nonetheless; outriggers trusses noticeably contribute, in improving the serviceability of structure subjected to wind and earthquake forces.

Cicilline, of course, quickly turned the dispute to political advantage with a barrage of radio ads and fundraising appeals. The firefighters spat back. And the columnists and talk show hosts poured it on.
It was turkey time in Providence, again. And the whole country was watching.
Ken Block, top bird for the fledgling Moderate Party, has made ethics a central issue in his long-shot bid to upend Rhode Island's ethically challenged politics. But Block, it seems, has some challenges of his own.
Last month, a blogger at rifuture.org revealed that Block had skirted the state's campaign finance laws: donating the maximum $10,000 to the state party operation and then giving another $10,000 to its Barrington affiliate, which promptly forwarded — you guessed it — $10,000 to the parent organization.
Now the Board of Elections, after suggesting for a time that the party may have found a loophole in the law, is seeking to impose a fine. And Block is fighting it beak and toe.
This doesn't look good, Ken. Pay the fine.
If Block needs help repairing his clipped wings, he may want to steer clear of Rhode Island Hospital.
The state recently fined the hospital $150,000 for conducting its fifth wrong-site surgery in the last two years.
Back away from the scalpel, turkeys.
Curbing the felonious tendencies of the Rhode Island pol may be a hopeless endeavor. But the voters took an admirable stab at it nearly a quarter-century ago when they amended the state constitution to establish one of the most powerful and independent ethics commissions in the land.
In June, the state Supreme Court gobbled up much of the panel's authority when it ruled 3-1 that the commission can't prosecute members of the General Assembly for misuse of their most powerful tool: their vote.
The case centered on former Senate President William V. Irons, an insurance broker accused of doing the bidding of CVS and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island in the legislature while collecting hundreds of thousands in commissions connected to the companies.
The majority said Irons was protected by the state constitution's "speech-in-debate" clause, a provision dating to 15th Century England that is meant to prevent disgruntled citizens and other branches of government from taking shots at lawmakers for their legislative work.
But as dissenting Justice Paul A. Suttell suggested, a mad-as-hell electorate was looking to shake up Rhode Island politics in a big way when it established the ethics commission in 1986. Constitutional language declaring that the ethics amendment applies to "all elected officials" should have trumped some dusty parliamentary protection. Instead, the court handed lawmakers an invitation to corruption.
Not that they needed it.
Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin has a sharp tongue and a special affinity for microphones. So when Congressman Patrick Kennedy reamed the Catholic Church last month for inserting abortion politics into the health care debate, the prelate's forceful response was hardly a surprise.
But if the bishop had a right to pipe up on the issues, he went turkey when he publicly questioned Kennedy's personal faith.
In an open letter to the Congressman that appeared in the diocesan newspaper this month, the bishop asked if Kennedy belongs to a parish, wondered if he attends Mass on Sundays, and suggested that his support for abortion rights is an unpardonable offense.

Full vs. Partial Highlights: Exploring New Dimension
Highlights can add dimension to an existing style or double the transformative effect of a new one. Read our guide of the process to prepare for your trip to the salon.
A skilled stylist doesn't need a pair of scissors to transform a hairdo. The precise application of highlights—which isolate select strands of hair and treat them with a color, lightener, or toner—can become the basis for a brand new look without a single snip or shear. Before entering the salon, however, a client has to decide how much of the hair to highlight. Applied evenly throughout the entire head, full highlights create a natural look that mimics the way hair changes color over time in the sun, adding a sense of dimension and texture to the existing hair. Partial highlights, which are typically cheaper and take less time to apply, serve an altogether different purpose: drawing attention to specific features, such as bangs or newly sharpened antlers, by accenting only the locks on the surface. As a result, partial highlights are somewhat less flexible—losing their effect, for example, when putting your hair up or teasing it out.

Re: Sprucing up
Tint is a great place to start. Giving it a good cleaning inside and out has been a fav of mine to make my ride stand out.
People have done platinum front and rear conversions. I like the rear, but not the front so much for the simple reason that I can see using my tow hooks.
What color is yours? Post up some pics for additional ideas.

Re: Sprucing up
Rims are a good start, tint, a tasteful grille. LED conversion was high on my list. I've done all the lights on my truck except for the DRL and tails, really makes a huge difference, especially the interior.

Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin said Friday that's it's been a while since he has been fully healthy. He certainly wasn't at this time last year. In July 2013, Harvin was days away from undergoing hip surgery that would cost him nearly all season.
This year, Harvin is feeling "immensely good," and you get the sense that he is almost giddy about the upcoming season.
"I don't know if any football player can say they're fully healthy playing football, but this is the best I've felt in a long, long time," Harvin said. "I'm just going to keep building, building, building and I'm looking forward to the season."
Fantasy Analysis:
Prior to the hip problems, Harvin was being drafted as a low-end WR1. Now, after a lost year and his second consecutive year with a major injury, Harvin is closer to the low-end WR2 range. The Seahawks' ultra-conservative offense is another mark against him in fantasy.
There's no denying Harvin's elite speed and quickness in the open field. You just wonder if he's in an offense that can fully exploit his talents. And, yes, if he can make it through 16 games. Harvin is a risk/reward pick to say the least.

Remi Communications, a Pennsylvania-based smart communications provider, has selected MetaSwitch (Booth 513) for its IMS implementation.
Designed to address the challenge of delivering competitive, flexible telecommunications services to large enterprise and government users, Remi's network is built on MetaSwitch's proven session control, media/signaling gateway and application server components. IMS call session control function is implemented by MetaSwitch CA9020 call agent servers deployed in two hubs in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. MetaSwitch MG3510 media gateways are located throughout Remi's serving area to achieve the levels of redundancy and reliability demanded by Remi's blue-chip customers.
In addition to robust call control and media gateways, Remi selected MetaSwitch for its award-winning IMS application server, the UC9000 unified communications system. The UC9000 platform delivers a compelling range of new services integrating presence and instant messaging with traditional voice calling. These services are available to all Remi subscribers, whether they are using IP phones or regular analog handsets.
"I strongly believe in the potential of IMS to enable the 'holy grail' of convergence and an open feature creation environment," said David J. Malfara, Sr., Remi's president and CEO. "I also knew that we needed a solution that was built for prime time, including the ability to deliver full equivalence for legacy Class 5 features including E911, CALEA and LNP. MetaSwitch offered the only solution that provided proven Class 5 capabilities, including business-class services, with an open IMS architecture. For our customers, this translates into continued support of all their existing features — plus the availability of exciting new services such as unified messaging, PC-based call control and support for IP endpoints such as softphones."
The MetaSwitch solution also provides an open platform for the development of new services in the future, based on the SIP standard as specified by IMS.
"For carriers such as Remi, who are strongly focused on meeting customers' next-generation communications needs, MetaSwitch recognizes the integral role IMS will play in fueling an open applications environment that promises to completely change the rules of telecom," said Andy Randall, vice president of marketing for MetaSwitch. "MetaSwitch is committed to enabling carriers to quickly and cost effectively architect their next-generation networks for new multimedia-enhanced IP services — without compromising any of the legacy capabilities they need to continue supporting to enable a smooth migration."

If awakened in the middle of the night to find a burglar inside your home, call 911 and don't confront the intruder unless forced to, Police Chief Donie Lee said Wednesday night at a rare public meeting held in response to the unsolved "Graveyard Thief" crime spree.
"Anytime someone enters a home that is occupied, it's a dangerous situation," Lee said. "We don't know how the homeowner's going to react. It's dangerous for the burglar."
Burglaries in this portion of the city's historic district spiked sharply in late 2013 -- numbering 40 between Sept. 15 and Dec. 15 -- Lee said.
In response, Key West police have stepped up both undercover and uniformed patrols, closing several unrelated cases in the process; asked the FBI to work on "enhancing" images of two suspects; collected physical evidence from six separate crime scenes; run fingerprints through state and county databases; and searched pawn shop records.
All with no luck, Lee said.
Four arrests have been made in burglaries, but none of the suspects were linked to the cemetery neighborhood cases, Lee said after the meeting.
Locals who gathered for the sit-down they asked to have with Lee learned his department has yet to piece together the puzzle of the graveyard burglaries.
"We are doing everything we can possibly do," Lee said. "We're not perfect; we fall short. You may have not been provided service you deserve. I need to know that so we can correct it and ensure we're doing everything possible to try and apprehend this person. We really do want to take this person off the streets."
But Lee said he didn't believe any of the burglaries involved someone forcing open doors or windows, although at least one resident in attendance said she locked her doors before waking up to find her laptop and iPhone missing from the bed she was sleeping in.
"I was broken into on Dec. 11 while I slept," Sandra Duffey told Lee.
The responding officer told her she must have left her doors unlocked, Duffey said.
"I didn't see the hole in the roof he could have come through," Duffey said. "I am very dismayed by this."
Lee said, "If that's what he told you, I apologize. If we fell short, then I apologize to you."
The perpetrator may be female or male, Lee said, handing out copies of images he said are of two separate suspects police believe are connected to the spree that has frightened and frustrated residents with some of the most coveted street addresses in Key West.
The images include a security snapshot from a corner store in which a baseball-capped man sporting a beard stubble and a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, and a ghostly image captured inside a Galveston Lane home of a baseball-capped person.
Residents asked for advice on what to do if they happen upon an intruder in the kitchen overnight.
Lee advised against anyone trying to tackle an intruder, although he pointed out that the burglar hasn't tried to physically harm anyone.
"No one has been attacked, thank God," Lee said.
But the police chief said later, "You have a right to defend yourself in your home. I'm not telling you to become vigilantes."
Without mentioning Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law, Lee alluded to state statutes that allow people to strike back when attacked.
City Commissioners Teri Johnston and Jimmy Weekley attended the meeting, along with Mayor Craig Cates. But only police officers spoke.
"Just make sure it's locked," said Officer Steve Torrence of windows and doors. "Invest in a good lock. These cheap $29 locks you can kind of shake and push open; those just are not very secure. A good lock, a dead bolt and light, light, light and more light."
Torrence said if people want to crack their windows open a little at night, do what he does: "Put a pin in the window so the window can only be opened two or three inches."
The almost two-hour long meeting began late to give the large crowd a chance to settle into the ferry terminal seats.
Even with a few complaints about police performance from those who have fallen prey to the burglar who brazenly returns two or three times to some targeted homes, the meeting's tone stayed respectful throughout -- no loud voices, no arguments.
But a constant theme arose from residents: Improve communication.
"In the future when there's a crime spree going on, can you make a bigger effort to communicate that information?" a man asked Lee, who agreed to do so.
"We need a computer geek," said Christine Russell. "Let's get some computer geeks sitting out there and let's work together and get cameras in our houses. This guy is coming back two and three times because you're replacing your iPhones and he's taking it again. We can catch this person."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
A bipartisan trio of House members announced yesterday that they are sponsoring a bill to block the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases. Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and Missouri Reps. Ike Skelton (D) and Jo Ann Emerson (R) introduced the measure.
Efforts to bar the agency from following through on their determination that planet-warming emissions threaten human health are already underway in the Senate, as we've reported, and Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.) has also introduced legislation on the subject in the House.
"I have no confidence that the EPA can regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act without doing serious damage to our economy," Peterson said on Tuesday. "Americans know we're way too dependent on foreign oil and fossil fuels in this country--and I've worked hard to develop practical solutions to that problem--but Congress should be making these types of decisions, not unelected bureaucrats at the EPA."
Now, Peterson, it should be noted, did vote for the House climate and energy bill last year, but only after holding the bill hostage until he could wring as much out of it for Big Ag. And after getting what he wanted, he now says he would vote against the bill if it came back to the House. So his seriousness about imposing greenhouse-gas regulations through Congress is questionable.
Skelton did vote for the House bill, while Emerson did not. But Skelton now seems to be backing off of a cap, telling ClimateWire that Congress should put aside the cap-and-trade measure and move an energy-only bill."Let us set that bill aside and pass this scaled-back energy legislation," he said.
Their bill would not only bar the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, but it would also restrict the agency from calculating land-use changes in other countries in biofuel policies and broaden the definition of renewable biomass.

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Does not work with Galaxy Tab 3 (WiFi only). 01/25/2014
This review is from: Micro USB Host OTG SD/TF Card Reader MHL to HDMI HDTV HUB Adapter for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 S5 i9600
Tons of great features when it works! (read below)
Does not work with Galaxy Tab 3 (WiFi only).
Other Thoughts:
First off, i bought this for use on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (WiFi only) model. When i connected the adapter, i could not get any devices to work. (card reader, USB, HDMI) When i first reported this to the seller (Victake) they promptly sent me a replacement product. (5 stars for the seller)
This product only supports the Galaxy S3, S4, and Note 2 (per the manual). This device worked perfectly with a Galaxy S4 I connected it to, and exhibited none of the problems I list below.
The listing for this product says that it supports the Galaxy Tab 3. IT DOES NOT.Because of this, the adapter acts very strangely when connected to the Galaxy Tab 3 (WiFi only). The manual states that the power must be connected to the adapter in order for it to function. It also states that only one function can be used at a time: USB, or HDMI, or Card reader. (this is true) This adapter has a function that allows it to charge the connected device if no function is being used on the adapter itself. Basically every time you connect this adapter, it detects whether go into "device mode" or "charge mode". On my Galaxy Tab 3, it was always going into "charge mode". Every time i connected this adapter, i would receive a "USB device connected" message, followed by "USB device disconnected" message; and the adapter would start charging my tablet. I tried connecting a variety of USB devices, memory cards, and HDMI monitors, both before i connected this adapter to my tablet and afterwards... Nothing. Then I stumbled on something that would make the adapter go into "device mode" If i connect this device with both power and a LinkQ USB mouse plugged in, and then unplug and quickly reconnect the power, IT WORKS!! (I tried other brands of mice with no success) Once the adapter is in "device mode" it does not charge the tablet, and everything you connect to it while it remains connected to the tablet works. I got the card reader to read memory cards, USB worked with keyboards, mice, game-pads, USB flash drives, and HDMI output 720p with audio! I even found out that it will run some USB flash drives,keyboards, mice, game-pads, and the card reader WITHOUT power connected to the adapter. (HDMI only works with power connected) Now for the really bad part, if you unplug this adapter from the tablet, you have to start all over again. Very annoying! (this is why i gave it one star)
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Organizing for Action, the spinoff of President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, is out with its first ad, in which it offers the president some backup on his health-care law.
The ad, titled "Impact of Obamacare," offers anecdotal evidence of the program's benefits.
"Better coverage and lower costs; that's what Obamacare means for them," the narrator says.
The ad is part of a seven-figure summer ad buy focusing on Obamacare.
The implementation of the law has started to cause some headaches for the administration, with even some top Democrats worrying about it. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) recently worried aloud that the implementation would constitute a "huge train wreck," with people unsure about how to navigate the new law.
Recent polling has shown that more Americans dislike the law than favor it. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll in recent weeks showed 49 percent oppose it, while 37 percent support it — a new high for opposition to the law. Other polls have shown a closer split.

Sundance London Announces Film UK Premiere Programme for 26-29 April
Sundance Institute and The O2 announced today the programme of 14 narrative and documentary feature films that will make their UK premieres at the inaugural Sundance London festival, taking place at The O2 from 26-29 April. These films premiered in January at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah – the premier independent film festival in the United States.
"I welcome the opportunity to see how people in the UK experience these films," said Robert Redford, President and Founder of Sundance Institute. "While they are American productions they speak to universal experiences and global challenges."
He went on to add, "Sundance London also is the perfect opportunity to continue our long-time commitment to growing a broader international community around new voices and new perspectives."
John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, "Sundance London grew out of our desire to help American independent filmmakers expand their reach, and we are happy that these 14 filmmakers are joining us on this adventure. Their participation has helped us to not only create a programme for Sundance London that reflects the diversity of our film festival in Park City, but also that helps build an enduring legacy of American stories that speak to international audiences."
Alex Hill, Chief Finance and Strategy Officer of AEG Europe, owners of host venue The O2, adds: "All at The O2 are very excited that the inaugural Sundance London film and music festival is nearly upon us. The 14 films which Sundance Institute is bringing to London reflect the strength, depth and breadth of American independent cinema that showcased earlier in the year at the Sundance Film Festival. They complement an exciting music component with performances from Tricky and Placebo, and our opening night event An Evening With Robert Redford and T Bone Burnett. In what is arguably the world's most culturally diverse city, The O2 is proud to be hosting such a prestigious festival."
In addition to film screenings, Sundance London will host live music performances and events each evening, including the previously announced Opening Night event An Evening With Robert Redford And T Bone Burnett, Placebo in concert and Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird performing Maxinquaye. Also on offer to Sundance London audiences will be unique opportunities to attend panels and hear guest speakers talk about the part they play in making films, documentaries and the role of music in modern cinema.

StratITsphere operates a data center in Katy. One of the main services it offers clients is to provide a secure backup for critical records. If a storm surge floods their headquarters and destroys their computers, they're covered.
But what happens if the data center itself is hit? StratITsphere is now prepared for that as well. The company has established a partnership with ScaleMatrix, a counterpart in San Diego. Stephen Webster is StratITsphere's president and CEO.
"If something were to happen on the West Coast, an earthquake in the San Diego area, ScaleMatrix customers could sail over seamlessly to our data center here in Texas. Whereas if we were hit by, heaven forbid, the mother of all hurricanes, we could make sure that all of our customers' mission critical systems and data had another place on the West Coast to go to and run from."
StratITsphere will host a pre-hurricane season business conference on Thursday, May 3.

It had been more than three years since the last terrorist bombing targeting civilians in Israel — until a blast caused by an explosive pipe placed next to a telephone pole near the bus station in central Jerusalem on March 23 ended that period of relative quiet. Suddenly, the familiar images appeared across our screens, of shattered streets, frantic rescue efforts, harsh denunciations. And the familiar sorrow of lives lost and irreparably injured.
But the Middle East has changed dramatically during those three years, something that seems to have escaped the cowards who hold onto the discredited belief that bombing civilians in the heart of a cherished city will serve their cause. How can they ignore the obvious? Besides being morally wrong, this sort of terrorism simply does not work.
As of this writing, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack that has killed one and wounded at least 30, but whoever the culprits, they clearly have willfully ignored the powerful lessons from elsewhere in the region. First in Tunisia, then in Egypt, nonviolent uprisings drove despotic leaders from office.
The efficacy of peaceful protest is not wishful thinking but historical fact. A major study published in 2008 comparing the outcomes of hundreds of violent insurgencies with those of major nonviolent resistance campaigns from 1900 to 2006 found that 53% of the nonviolent movements succeeded, compared with only 26% of the violent insurgencies.
Maria J. Stephan and Erica Chenoweth, who conducted the study, reason that nonviolent movements are more effective because they are broad-based and enjoy more domestic and international legitimacy, in part because they are perceived to be less extreme. Violent reactions to peaceful protest, meantime, can backfire, as former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak learned the hard way.
The Palestinian people deserve their own, viable state. But 40 years of terrorism hasn't brought them any closer, and the uprisings of 2011 only reinforce that message.
