Former teacher jailed for anthrax hoax
A former chemistry teacher who sent hoax anthrax mail to the Welsh First Minister Rhodri Morgan has been jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Nicholas Roberts, 50, posted four packages containing white powder at the height of the anthrax scares following last September's terrorist attacks in the US.
As well as Rhodri Morgan, the chemistry graduate posted one of the envelopes containing white flour to Welsh travel writer Jan Morris.
In February, unemployed Roberts, from the Riverside area of Cardiff, was found guilty of attempting to cause a public nuisance by sending packages to public figures.
The bachelor, who has an earlier conviction for throwing eggs at the Queen's car during a royal visit, had claimed the packages were works of "conceptual art" which would benefit society.
Sentencing had been delayed while the courts awaited psychiatric reports on Roberts, who it has been established is not suffering from mental illness.
Jailing him at Cardiff Crown Court, Judge John Griffith QC said: "In light of the events of September 11, your actions demonstrate wickedness of the highest order.
"The anxiety you caused was considerable...your intention was to cause each recipient to believe the packages contained anthrax."
The judge said the 30-month sentence was to make it clear to Roberts and others that "offences of this type will not be tolerated".
The hoax letters were sent in the wake of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and Washington, and sparked a major security alert in Cardiff, both at the Welsh Assembly building and the city's main postal sorting office.
Prosecuting Peter Murphy said Roberts had read an article by (Jan) Morris which criticised Rhodri Morgan, saying the First Minister had done nothing for Wales.
"Roberts agreed with this and that is why he sent the flour. He didn't know why he sent the letter to Jan Morris - but said he found the hoax funny."
Eventually, after having second thoughts, Roberts raised the alarm himself, the court heard.
A major security alert was then put into operation, despite Roberts telling police the letters - which also went to two of his friends - only contained flour.
Defending, Peter Heywood said the courts had to view the offences seriously because of their timing.
"Prison holds no fears for Roberts.
"It is an environment where he has company and friendship - something he is lacking on this side of the prison wall."
Roberts has a previous conviction for throwing four eggs at the Queen's car during a Royal visit three years ago.
He also had convictions for spraying road signs with black paint because they were written in English and not in Welsh.

Nine Nights on The Amazon River

Hide lines
Amazon and disappointed to leave our casual routine of surfing and
relaxing. Leaving meant the end of our vacation from our traveling.
Our itinerary soon reminded us of this. It included a 2-hour bus ride
south to Ilheus then a 1-hour flight north to Salvador, a 2-hour
layover, a 3-hour flight south to Sao Paulo, a 2-hour layover then a
4-hour flight north to Manaus. The route was the cheapest available,
but it was the equivalent of flying from New York to Minneapolis via
Boston then Miami.
Manaus, a city of 1.2 million people, lies 1,200 miles up the Amazon River from the Atlantic Ocean. Located at roughly the midpoint of the Brazilian Amazon River basin, the city is surrounded by hundreds of miles of jungle. The town reached it heyday as the epicenter of the
Brazilian rubber boom during the late 19th century. The rubber barons of that era built a suprisingly sophisitcated city in an amazingly isolated location. It can be reached by a 4-day boat ride from the Atlantic, a poorly maintained highway traversing thousands of miles of
jungle or in our case a hellish series of flights traversing Brazil.
Our long day of travel finally ended when our taxi pulled up to the Hotel Ideal. Despite it's promising name, the Hotel Ideal quickly proved to be far from ideal. The lobby more resembled the waiting room of a Goodyear tire repair shop than a hotel lobby. The 150 square feet
room was adorned with two rows of vinyl covered chairs affixed to each other and a television blaring the evening news. The only thing distinguishing it as a hotel lobby was the countertop behind which sat the thoroughly indifferent check-in guy. He handed us our paperwork then gave us the key and pointed up the dark stairway behind him which led to an even darker hallway. At the top of the stairs a motion light finally lit the hallway to our room.
The room was light by a single flourescent tube which thankfully shadowed the dirt and soot that accumulated on the floors and walls. Though the light was bright enough to expose what appeared to be human feces spread across the wall, but may have been the smearing of a large
mosquito carcass. Despite there being no outside window, the cloud of mosquitos swirling around the room apparently found the hallway window, which was enclosed by bars and a metal panel that swung shut, to be a sufficient point of entry. The sheets which had a large stencil of
"Hotel Ideal" painted onto them seemed clean, although understandably so, as polyester is apparently easy to clean. One positive was the air conditioner which efficiently cooled the room, at least until 1 AM when a 3-hour power outage brought the room back up to jungle hot. In the
morning, we decided it be a good idea to find other accommodations for our final night before catching our boat up river.
Our lodging luck turned for the better that morning. At the harbor terminal, we were able to secure tickets for an air conditioned cabin onboard the M. Fernandez the boat that would take us four days up the Amazon to Tefe. After buying tickets we stopped by the boat to check it
out. It was a classic 3-deck Amazon River boat of about 90 feet in length. The cabin had two bunks and was reasonably clean. The steward agreed to allow us to stay inboard that night even though we weren't leaving until the next morning. With our passage secured and saved from
another night at the Hotel Ideal we were quite happy.
We spent the rest of the day walking around town securing provisions in the blustering heat of Manaus- hammocks, rope to secure the hammocks, flashlights, locks for our packs, cotton sheets (in case we encountered more polyester sheets in Peru), bottled water,vegetables, cookies and wine. We still managed to tour the Manaus Opera Theater, eat a bowl of acai and have dinner at rodizio chascuria (all you can eat steakhouse). By 10 pm, we had hung our hammocks on the top deck of the boat and settled in for the night, or at least a couple hours, when we gave in and went to our air conditioned cabin.
Our tickets indicated that the boat would leave at 7AM and so we expected to sleep through departure or be awoken by the hundreds of local folks boarding and hanging their hammocks on the decks. At 6:45, we woke and checked the decks- completely empty. However, at 7 we
pulled out of the dock with only a few other passengers on board. We sort of panicked, although strangely so since we had made the boat, what did it matter if no one else did. Our confusion ended two minutes later when we pulled up to another dock, this one filled with hundreds of
people waiting to jump on board or trying to sell some last minute goods.
arrived late, they were forced to search the rows for a small opening then hang their hammock at shoulder to head height so their body wouldn't bump their new, and not so happy, neighbors. One guy tried to squeeze between our hammocks. After Darren questioned this, he insisted
it was OK and that he'd go above us. Eventually Darren convinced him there was more space on the other side.
After a couple hours, we finally pulled out of port and started up river. We were taking the boat to it's final destination, Tefe, Brazil, from where we'd catch a transport to the Uacari Ecolodge for a 3-night jungle tour. The lodge had instructed us to catch this boat and to look out for two other gringos who would be heading to the lodge for the same tour. It wasn't hard to find Nick and Heather, they were the only other gringos on the boat. The devout Arsenal fans from London, that appeared to be in their late 30's but turned out to be just under 50, would become our travel partners for the next 9 days. They had been traveling overland from Honduras through to Panama from where they sails to Columbia then caught a series of buses through Venezuela and Brazil to finally arrive in Manaus. All of this was just the beginning of their 2-year travel plans for the Americas, giving us the feeling that our 3-month trip was little more than a long weekend holiday.
This is the high water season, and during our 3 day voyage we passed small villages, all of which were flooded, some of which were flooded to the point that they had to leave until the water dropped.
We passed the day reading, and napping, and watching. Not good for Katie.
We did get to see lots of Sunrises and Sunsets. Very good for Katie
In Tefe we caught our transport to the lodge. We had been a little apprehensive about the lodge, particularly when we came across some fairly unflattering pictures of dorm-looking accomodations, of course this was after we'd confirmed our reservation and submitted payment.
As our transport rounded the final bend of the tributary, the view of the main lodge and the individual cabanas, all with teak siding, thatch roofs and tasteful blue trim, ended our worries. With the setting sun providing perfect lighting, the lodge looked like something out of National Geographic Explorer.
Over the next 3 nights and days, we went on several canoe tours of the flooded forest. A guide would sit up front and paddle us through meandering trails, that in the dry season would be hiked but were now fully inundated, as we lounged in the back.
On the spooky night version of the ride, we saw a tarantula, scorpion and a tree rat the size of a dog. The guides were all very knowledgable but their English was limited, except for the names of the animals.
Our good luck in making transport connections during the trip continued the day we left the lodge. The main guide had been told by radio that the weekly boat bound for Tabatinga, Brazil, a town at the border with Columbia and Peru, would be passing on Monday this week instead of
Sunday. Instead of taking us 2 hours back down river to Tefe, the lodge's boat could take us to another town only 30 minutes away. From there we could then have a lancha, wooden canoe with an outboard motor, ferry us out to the large boat which doesn't have any port calls until
it is much farther upriver. If all went well, we'd be on the boat bound for Tabatinga that afternoon, if it went poorly, we'd be stuck in a podunk town on the Amazon waiting a couple days to catch another boat.
As we approached the main section of the river on the lodge's boat, where the ferry boat would eventually pass, we were surprised to see a large river boat passing. It was early and had already passed the small town and Had we been only 5 minutes later, the boat would have
passed without us knowing. There was no time to transfer to a lancha.
The driver of our 25' long aluminum dingy headed directly to the beam of the large boat, this apparently signals to the captain of the large boat that we intended to board. As we turned parallel to the large boat, it's captain slowed down trying to make it easier to board. This
actually caused the side wake to double in size to about three feet tall which if taken at the wrong angle would easily overturn or swamp our small boat. Finally our boat jumped through the wake and pulled immediately alongside the large boat. We threw a bow line to the
ferryboat's crew who secured it to ties cleat. Our small boat still continued to rock and list from the wake of the ferry, which was still moving at 6-8 mph. At this point, if the small boat overturned, we'd be dragged along by the big boat and, once freed from the upturned
small boat, slip under the current of the big boat and into it's propeller.
We quickly handed over our packs and bags to the crew on the big boat, then one by one lunged over the rails to the safety of the big boat. Although this sort of on the run transfer happens once every other day on the big river boats, its site is normally an interesting diversion for the passengers who've been staring at a monotonous view of trees and water. Diversion turns to full on spectacle when it's a couple inexperienced gringos hurling themselves on board- a hundred or so passengers were amusedly watching us.
For three more days, we watched more trees and water, ate beans, rice and spaghetti, read and played cards. Fortunately, the boat, was basically a newer version of the boat we'd taken from Manaus to Tefe. Our definite preference was this boat because it's snack bar on the top deck served beer which provided a mid-afternoon activity for us.
The first boat we'd taken was evangelical, not serving beer and offering a service every evening in the cafeteria after dinner. Three days and pounds of spaghetti later, we arrived in Tabatinga, Brazil. A quick taxi took us across the border to Columbia whose ciity of Leticia had nicer hotels. From here, we planned to catch a flight the next day farther upriver to Iquitos, Peru and fromthere fly to Lima. We were happy to be off our beans, rice and spaghetti diet but sad to know, or think (see next blog entry), that our Amazon experience would soon end.

The Dodgers' bid for Prince
In early November, I wrote that the Los Angeles Dodgers should sign Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols even though the team was in bankruptcy, even though the team was for sale.
"If anything, the signing of such a player might be the perfect first step as the Dodgers prepare to negotiate their new TV contract and rebuild their season-ticket base," I said then.
Fielder's agent, Scott Boras, agreed, saying, "If you're going to optimize the TV value, you're going to do it with ratings and stars."
Sure enough, the Dodgers tried to do just that, making a strong run at Fielder before he signed with the Detroit Tigers, according to major-league sources.
The Dodgers' offer, first reported by CBSSports.com, would have included an early opt-out provision, the source said. The deal, if it had come to fruition, would have been in the seven-year, $160 million range. Fielder signed with the Tigers for nine years, $214 million.
As it turned out, the Dodgers recognized that they stood little chance on Fielder nearly a week before he agreed with Detroit. At that point, Boras informed them that were $50 million to $60 million short of an offer that he already had — the offer that turned out to be the Tigers'.
"It didn't get to the ninth inning. It got to about the sixth inning," the source said.
Owner Frank McCourt, however, clearly viewed Fielder as a way to enhance the value of the club, which is in the process of being sold.
The pairing of Fielder and center fielder Matt Kemp, both 27, would have given the Dodgers a dynamic middle of the order, if only for a few seasons before Fielder opted out.
— Ken Rosenthal

iTunes link: Shazam – Free
Heard a song on the radio, but don't know what the track is called or who the artist is? Shazam can identify the artist's name, track title and album name just by recording a snippet of the song using the iPhone's microphone. You just hold your iPhone near to a speaker while the song is playing on the radio, in a coffee shop or bar and Shazam will capture a noise print of it that it then uses to search its database for matching tracks.
Not only does it generally return very accurate information on the song name, but it also shows you album art, artist bios and even YouTube videos linked to the song. Naturally, it also provides a link to iTunes where you can purchase the track. However, the free version is limited to five track identifications per month, it works best in quieter environments and its database is focused more on mainstream artists.
Shazam provides a handy way to track down songs you like, but can't find out the name of. Its database could be broader, but it's fast and works well with mainstream artists.

Manufacturing (Industrial Age) and Creative (Collaborative Age) organizations require different approaches and skills. They are two different business models. As such, organizations should not try to run them in the same business unit.
Manufacturing organizations require:
- compliance to the rules;
- minimum variation;
- carefully evaluated changes thus, continuous improvement;
- production of large quantities and high physical capital intensity to achieve the necessary economy of scale.
Creative organizations require:
- non compliance to rules, misfits and weirdos
- discontinuous and radical change
- small scale production and low capital intensity (outside human capital)
How can you even imaging having these two kinds of activities under the same roof, under the same budget, under the same responsible person?
Following a very general recommendation in the field of entrepreneurship and even of management, two different business models should be separated. If not run in different legal entities, they should be run in different business units. Creation of the product needs to be separated from manufacturing production. The necessary interface needs to be managed through a carefully arranged agreement.
Separate fully your creative, project creation side from your traditional manufacturing side or you'll never manage to take advantage of the Fourth Revolution!

Glaze for a comic book table
Alright, I am trying to figure out how to glaze over comic books on top of what is essentially a beer pong table. I am looking for something that does not soak into the comics while simultaneously creating a flat surface with which to play on. I have considered making a trough and pouring some type of glaze/finish to go on top of a table. It would need to be completely transparent. Any help on the finish would be great, I am trying to make it similar to a thick bar table glaze. Thanks.
Thank you!

About Jonas Lund
Jonas' work is a mirror to the art world
"Berlin offers everything a modern man needs."
Born in 1984 in Linköping, Sweden, Jonas Lund creates artworks that are self-reflective. His pieces reflect and examine trends in the art industry. For example, his recent solo exhibition entitled "Strings Attached" highlights the many legal restrictions buyers face when purchasing artwork. In this case, the exhibition showed how gallerists try to fuel market momentum whilst shielding themselves from the damaging effects of quick-profit speculation. 'The Anatomy of the Selection Procedure' traces the backstory of how he became invited to participate in Absolut Art. The 'No.2 / No.60,000 (yellow, orange, red)' is a pseudo painting facsimile created through the use of an artificially intelligent neural network.


text: So I've been totally intrigued by all this talk about using flash (Thanks shiroin) and I decided to see what I had in stock that would help me play around with flash. I am a fan for natural lighting (Mainly out of inexperience) so my use of the flash is fairly limited. I managed to find an OLD Canon Speedlite 155A but...is having one of these things on my Nikon even worth it? Sure it does wonders on my AE-1 but how does is stack with a D-SLR?

Ukip leader Nigel Farage today gave David Cameron until New Year's Eve to block thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians coming to Britain.
He said a failure to act will leave ministers facing defeat in Euro elections next year — sending an "earthquake" through Westminster.
He told his party conference in London: "East European open-door immigration will dominate the campaign.
"If the Coalition want to save their electoral skins they must, before January 1, tell Brussels we will not open our door unconditionally to Bulgaria and Romania. That is my challenge to them."
He said London had seen a "Romanian crime wave" due to lax border controls and warned of worse when Romanians and Bulgarians gain the automatic right to come to the UK next year.
"We should not welcome foreign criminal gangs and must deport those who have committed offences," he said. "Mr Cameron, Clegg and Miliband, are you listening?"
He claimed Ukip's call for Britain's EU exit would see the party dominate Euro elections next year. Recent polls put Ukip ahead of the Lib-Dems by up to 12 points.
Mr Farage dismissed claims by a teacher at Dulwich College, which he attended, that he acted like a "fascist" and "racist" while at school.
The Ukip's leader said: "Did a group of us wind up some very Left-wing teachers? Yes. There's nothing more to it."

The ambulance kit is sold! The truck is still available. $300 for the rolling truck body, $350 for the complete power pack.
If you want to build a M718 ambulance, this is your chance! This is nearly every part you need to make a complete 718 out of a standard M151 or complete your M718 project. Many of these parts are extremely hard to find and very expensive if you do find them(Beechwood Canvas gets $3500 to make the top!!). I am only selling this as a set right now and I don't plan to break it up unless I get a crazy offer. I have considered keeping it until I find a suitable donor 151 but I figured I would at least try to sell it first to make the wife happy. Collecting all of these same parts for my show ambulance took me 8 years of searching. This is a chance to buy it all at once!
Also for sale is the M718 truck that this stuff goes on. It's a poor re-weld with a lot of rust. I plan to part that out if the ambulance kit sells and nobody wants the truck. It's an A1 with no data plate and no title. Could be fixed by a motivated individual but needs work! Its complete and the motor turns. Currently disassembled for inspection. With the right offer on the truck I would throw in the complete underbody repair kit I got with it.
Pics upon request!
NOS Canvas Top(rear windows each have a small defect from folding)
NOS Canvas side curtains
Complete top structure with bows and rods
Rear body extension
Side spare tire mount
All 3 litter racks
The litter horseshoe rack
Nearly all the floor brackets(2 missing)
Body brackets for top
Full set of litter rails
2 litters
Folding passenger seat
Ambulance dimension plate
Spacer plate for side-mount jerry can
Fording exhaust to clear the extension
Rear corner shackles(needed for the body extension)
Rear fender cusion
Ambulance Kit = $2000
M718 Truck = $750
I could also be into trades for other MV's. I like Deuces and M37's!

Detroit-born dream hampton is a writer, filmmaker and lover/critic of all things hip-hop. She grew up as a neighbor and friend to the Notorious B.I.G., and filmed the late rapper for a documentary filmmaking class. She was the first woman editor at The Source and she co-wrote Jay-Z's New York Time's bestseller, Decoded, and now contributes to his blog Life + Times (where she recently shared an open letter of thanks to Frank Ocean). She's written for a million other places and has a new article on NPR (My American Dream Sounds Like The White Stripes) that I can't wait to dive into. To say the least, I am crazy jealous of this woman and owe much of my early interest in hip-hop as a cultural phenomenon (ripe for feminist or womanist critique) to her work, and the work of her colleagues, like Tricia Rose (Black Noise) and Joan Morgan (When Chickenheads Come Home To Roost). This is why it was very surprising and saddening to read that she was 'done with hip hop' on her tumblr, in reaction to recent critiques about statements she made, where she claimed that many of Nas's lyrics were ghostwritten. Deets inside.
So here's how it all went down. dream recently tweeted to a follower that Nas's Nigger album was "largely written by Stic of dead prez and Jay Electronica" and all hell broke loose (on twitter). But really, people were flipping out, mainly on dream hampton, as if it's unheard of that a rapper would have a ghostwriter or something. And as a huuuuuge fan of dead prez, I thought her statement was completely believable (even though Stic has denied it).
Anyway, people were literally sending this woman death threats and all sorts of unnecessary ridiculousness. She also got caught up in a twitter beef with super-producerJust Blaze. Just Blaze has since deleted the tweets (which he said were misunderstood as threats against dream), but Complex has them here.
At any rate, here is dream's message from her tumblr:
I began my writing career calling out Dr Dre for his misogyny. My friendship with Jay Z began when I reviewed Reasonable Doubt and called Jay out for his hyper-capitalism . I was not 'calling out' Nas by telling the truth about dpz writing whole bars (ne songs) on Untitled. I was telling a truth to someone who thought Nas' most radical verses were his own. They were not. I'm unsurprised that these men have circled around their lie. I'm unmoved by the misogynist threats I'm receiving in open forums (last night Just Blaze tweeted I should be "bled out"). But I am done. I may not be done talking about this (unsubscribe to my feed if you like, I reserve the right to block who the fuk I want), but I am done with hip hop and men who collude to silence women. And done with women who are happy they're not me. Don't worry. You could never be.
Now, based on the tweets, I think dream hampton did misunderstand Just Blaze, but I can also see why she'd assume that he was talking/tweeting ish since hella other people were.
I'm glad dream is taking a stand, but this is exactly why we need her in the hip-hop sphere!
What do you guys think of all this? Essentially, dream got ganged up on and she's not having it. While I don't want her to leave the business and art of hip-hop alone, I appreciate her movement and look forward to hearing more from her… especially since she did note that she 'may not be done talking about this.'
Oh, and here are the tweets that started it all:
I think Jay writes what he believes. Nas' "Nigger" album was largely written by Stic of dead prez and Jay Electronica

Shining in Crimson: Empire of Blood Book One HTML version
time since he knew of the city's existence, the meaning of its name dawned on him.
Necropolis, city of the dead.
He snickered. Some of the men turned and looked at him darkly. This only made him
smile more. He was about to let out a burst of laughter when the wagon came to a
screeching halt. All the humor left him at once. Other than the low idle of the engine,
everything became dead quiet. Strange mechanical noises crept from the back of the
wagon like the sound of gears waking within a clock tower. Then he heard similar noises
from the front of the wagon. Twin thuds came from the front and back of the wagon,
shaking it and making most of the passengers jump. Both of the mechanical doors began
to open with a horrible screeching.
The open doorway in the back led to the quiet, empty city. But the front doorway
contained shapes of men dressed in black, armored outfits. They had the American
Imperial flag printed on their right breasts and wore gas masks on their faces. Each of
them held a thick, black hose pointed at a different group of prisoners. Large clouds of
gas shot out from the hoses, filling the wagon with a thick, noxious fog. It tasted strongly
of sulfur. Choking on the gas, Hank nearly vomited. The convicts began flooding out the
back of the wagon and away from the suffocating gas. Hank followed, still choking as he
When he reached the road, he leaned over and joined the chorus of gasps. His lungs
burned as he inhaled. But he kept taking deep breaths anyway, hoping it would eventually
help. He looked over just in time to see the last man, a short Hispanic with long hair,
come stumbling from the wagon. The back door shut with a loud thud. Then the wagon
squealed its tires and sped off. By the time Hank could breathe without hurting too badly,
it was gone.
The one who murdered three people lead several of the others down an alley off the
main road. The area was surrounded with old rundown factories. A busted-up, red car
from before the war was parked in front of one of the buildings. Several men managed to
break in and were trying to hot-wire it. All around, men ran in different directions, either
alone or in groups. Hank circled around, trying to decide where to go. But in his heart, he
knew it didn't matter where he went. None of them would make it out alive. No one ever
did. For the last twenty years, the American Empire boasted the most effective justice
system in the world. It was simple, really. Use one evil to destroy another. Sure, some
innocents got caught up in the mix from time to time. But as the saying went, you have to
break a few eggs.
He decided to go on his own. He was pretty sure the locals could sense heat, making
a group an easier target. And with going solo, there would be no one to slow him down.
He found an alley a few blocks down from the other men and followed it in the opposite
direction. It got darker the further he went. The rough texture of brick grazed his hands as
he felt his way through the alley. When he'd gone a ways down the block, a loud engine
cranking and failing almost gave him a heart attack. What good would a car do for those
morons anyway?
Of course the thought of Toby reared its ugly head again. Toby would already have
that thing going zero to sixty. That boy of his could fix anything you put in front of him,
so long as it had moving parts. But he was only sixteen, and now that his father was about
to check out, who would take care of him? The boy's mother left when he was a baby.
Hank never managed to find her and felt sure she didn't want to be found. And Diana, he

Ball State won't release review of divisive "intelligent design" course
Ball State University officials say it doesn't have to release a faculty review of a professor's honors course on intelligent design that's been criticized by an atheist organization.
The review panel was formed after a lawyer for the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to Ball State describing Eric Hedin's "Boundaries of Science" class as religion disguised a science. The syllabus says the course encourages independent thinking.
The Star Press and an intelligent design group filed open records requests seeking the report, but Ball State officials say open records laws don't compel its release. The state's public access counselor says it's up to the university's discretion.
Ball State has also hired another instructor who wrote a book saying that scientific evidence suggests the universe was designed.

No confidence: El Paso County Commissioners ask Sheriff Terry Maketa to resign
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - El Paso County Commissioners asked Sheriff Terry Maketa to resign Thursday while unanimously casting a vote of no confidence in the sheriff's ability to continue leading the department.
The no confidence vote is symbolic as the commissioners have no power to remove the sheriff from his position.
Maketa is embroiled in a controversy involving allegations of sexual discrimination and creating a hostile work environment.
Sheriff Maketa has said that he intends to finish out his term. KRDO NewsChannel 13 asked the Sheriff's Office for a response to the commissioners' vote and we are waiting to hear if he has changed his mind.
Commissioners stressed that the call for Maketa to resign is not a matter of guilt or innocence. Independent investigators will still look into each accusation against Maketa.
"We're not saying that someone is right or wrong," said Commissioner Darryl Glenn. "Our job is to make sure that we provide a functional environment for this community."
The commissioners unanimously agreed that as the investigation plays out over the coming months, Maketa is still not fit for duty. They were particularly concerned about trust issues within the department and with the community, especially if the county had to deal with a significant tragedy like a fire or flood.
"How are they going to be able to communicate? Are we going to be using attorneys to act as third parties?" Glenn said. "That's not a way that we can actually function, especially at taxpayer's expense."

Wood flooring,
It doesn't matter how expensive the wood floor you buy is the problems start with sub floor and end with finish.
Builders are not floor layers, carpenters are not floor layers. There is so much to understand and take account of. Every day i am seeing more and more problem floors.
Badly specified products, badly prepared sub floors and finishes that will never last. The work to rectify a problem floor is horrific.
But with a little research, small amount of logical advice and knowing what to ask of your retailer and installer you can have the perfect floor.
I run Rainleaf Flooring and have done for 12 years. My passion is wood floors, my love is my floors. It has taken me 12 years to find the products that i want to be associated with and i have built up a tremendous wealth of Knowledge regarding floors.
If you want help please ask, advice is free.(ADVERTISING NOT ALLOWED)
Good to hear from another flooring guy that loves what he does!!! I too have been in hardwood (and tile) industry for the past 6 years and I see it time and time again, the problems with the existing floor almost always stem from what's beneath it. You can't build a house without first laying a solid foundation, and the same goes for flooring. The subfloor is the most important part. If it's not done right, the finished product won't live up to its potential. Keep up the quality work Bozberg and continue to teach people to do the right thing, even though it may not always be seen.
Bozberg - I'm asking
Bozberg, I am asking for your help: What questions do I need to ask my retailer and installer?
About to undertake this home improvement (and hate carpet!). Would really appreciate you feedback.
Asking the retailer and the installer
Purchasing a new wood floor is an uncertain business. Why ?, because most of the time you get what you pay.
When entering the retailers domain you need to armed with the questions you want answers to.
The retailer should be able to clearly explain to you the differences between a solid floor and an engineered floor. He should then be able to explain what effects the seasons have on both products and clearly inform you of expansion and shrinkage. That retailer should be able to speak clearly on the effects of relative humidity ( the % of moisture in the air) and how to combat to much or to little moisture in the air.
The finish on your floor is critical to the life span of the floor. So if your buying pre finished you want to know how easy it is to repair that finish and how easy to re coat. I would avoid UV cured oil finishes where possible. Always ask for product information so you can research it on the net.
Try to view long plank samples rather than small presentation boards. If you are wanting a plank floor remember that the long and wider the plank the more it costs. Sytemised sizing often means far eastern produced.
As for the installer, please seek two or three references for their work. Make sure the installer offers a detailed explanation as to what they propose to do in preparing the sub floor. Get the installer to confirm the method of fixing and the products they will be using.
You can then cross reference this information with experts at the NWFA or the BWFA, they are bona fida trade bodies. Take pictures as work progresses and if you have any doubts, stop the work and seek advice from the bodies above.
Hope the above helps.
Well I'm not in the flooring business specifically, but as a GC we have been asked many times to correct what someone has done in the past. I call in the flooring crew. They have years of experience in wood flooring. They don't do carpet.
That said, I agree it's all about the foundation under the finished flooring. I see to many homes with "finished basements" or additions that have a cement floor and homeowners buy into whatever the guy at the local retail stores are selling. Most store folks haven't a clue and are just repeating what the brochure/sales literature says. They sell as though it's a product for every application. It never is.
The best advice anyone can get is to do your homework. Ask questions and shop around until you are sure your buying the best product and installing crew that you can afford. If you are thinking your going to go out and buy a new floor this weekend and have it installed next week your usually asking for problems and you will not be disappointed.
You have to remember, a new floor is an expensive investment. One that everyone that walks into your home will see before they notice the color of the paint on the wall. You want it to last for years and always look as good as the day it was installed. It all starts with a good foundation and then a flooring that will work for your application/use.
wood Flooring
Interesting isn't it that the problems with wood floors travel the pond.
Typically the end user will spend what they consider a massive sum on the floor and then expect the installers to fit for nothing. That same client will think nothing of signing up for a pension and paying vast sums in commission to the advisor, yet when it comes to trades men, they can be treated as low paid throwaway labour.
To all potential purchasers of wood flooring, pick the right installer, research the product. Seek references and ask to be taken to the last clients house.
I love taking new clients to existing clients home to show off what we have done. Why?, because we are proud of our work and our craft.
I have never yet seen a silk purse from a sowes ear.
You definetly get what you pay for
Bozberg and Shamus, thank you. Very good advice. And as the wood flooring will be going in our formal living room, I definetly want it to look good.
As first time home owners a couple of decades ago, my husband and I had "a friend of a friend" pour us a new cement drive. We thought we were getting a good deal until it bowed beneath the vehicles and cracked all over.
A hard, but valuable lesson learned for us = you definetly get what you pay for!

"The Alaska employees turn what is the most stressful time in a family's life to a joyful, memorable experience," says Laurie H. Schmertz, director of donor & corporate donations of Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington. Food and money from Alaska Airlines' "Pack the Plane" holiday food drive supplies nearly 200,000 meals to the hungry each year. Company employees volunteer hundreds of hours to repack and sort food. "The enormous support that Alaska Airlines gives to Northwest Harvest exemplifies the best of corporate philanthropy and highlights the dedication of Alaska Airlines corporate leadership and employees to help their neighbors in need," says Shelley Rotondo, former director of donor relations of Northwest Harvest.

By M.D. Kittle | Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON — A campaign that began under the auspices of a "United Wisconsin" has hit some division in recent weeks, as two battling Democrats duke it out for their party's nomination in a recall election against Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
While one GOP official sees the apparent fissure as a win for Walker, a Democratic Party leader asserts Democrats will rally around the people's candidate, putting disputes over organized labor aside for the ultimate prize of beating a governor they see as Public Enemy No. 1.
With three weeks remaining in the Democrats' primary campaign, Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, front runners in the chase for the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nomination, have ratcheted up the campaign attacks.
Wisconsin's public-employee unions have come out in full force and voice in support of Falk, endorsing her and showering her with some $2 million in campaign contributions. They have made clear their dissatisfaction with Barrett, who employed some of the cost-saving measures in Act 10, the Walker-led law that stripped most public employees of collective bargaining, to help solve Milwaukee's budget problems.
While surrogates for Falk and Barrett battle it out, the idea of a "United" movement against Walker seems to be cracking.
United Wisconsin, a liberal political action committee, drove the recall effort against Walker and Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, launching a recall petition drive that began Nov. 15 with a spirit of unity among Democrats. The effort collected more than 900,000 valid signatures to recall Walker, and more than 840,000 in the drive against Kleefisch, well beyond the 540,000-plus signatures needed in each campaign.
Now, as the leading Democrats battle for supremacy, will the sparring drive a wedge among party members — in a nearly evenly divided electorate where every vote matters?
Ben Sparks, spokesman for the Republican Party of Wisconsin, sees division — and division among Democrats could prove costly.
Sparks said the left has an identity crisis, caught, he insisted, between a recall campaign driven by fringe left groups and organized labor and the party "establishment."
"The left in Wisconsin is a two-headed snake, and both heads are trying to swallow the other," he said.
There's divide of purpose among the Wisconsin's Democratic Party and organized labor, the people who have been faithful to the party in presence and cash.
An article in liberal investigative publication Mother Jones last week, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Graeme Zielinski "downplayed the importance of the anti-union provisions in Walker's 'budget repair' bill."
"Collective bargaining is not moving people," Zielinski told Mother Jones, which pointed to a party strategy memo that gives little attention to union issues.
Now, the directive from up top, agreed on by many party faithful, is that Walker lied to the voters of Wisconsin about the true nature of his agenda, something the governor has repeatedly denied.
Act 10, which earned the ire of state employees, brought tens of thousands of people daily to the Capitol, protesting Walker, the majority Republicans and anyone who stood with them.
Several reports in recent months have highlighted some of the fiscal easing local governments, mostly school districts, have found in applying the key provisions of Act 10, demanding union members pay more for their health care and pensions and holding wage negotiations to the rate of inflation.
Charles Franklin, political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the battles between Barrett and Falk, who are far outpacing fellow Democrats state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, and Secretary of State Douglas LaFollette in the latest polls, may have temporarily divided the party.
But Franklin, who also directs the Marquette University Law School poll tracking 2012 election year politics, said Democrats may find cohesiveness following the May 8 primary, just as Republicans are starting to do around GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"There are a lot of counter examples of hard fought races that have not led to a divided party," Franklin said. "And in the current case where Gov. Walker is such a negative for Democrats, they are more likely to unite behind any candidate."
Edna Highland, vice chair of the Kenosha County Democratic Party, agreed.
"I do believe the Democrats have decided whoever wins the primary, they will back because they want to see Walker the hell out of there," Highland said. "I don't think there is going to be any bitterness here."
The latest polling shows Walker ahead of all comers.
Public Policy Polling, or PPP, which just conducted a poll for liberal website Daily Kos, found Walker ahead of Barrett by 5 percentage points, and 7 percent points in front of Falk. In both cases, Walker tracked 50 percent.
The survey of 1,136 voters, conducted over the weekend, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
It would seem a reversal of fortunes. PPP in February tracked Barrett ahead of Walker, 49 percent to 46 percent, and the governor stood about even with Falk.
Tom Jensen, of national political polling firm PPP, could not be reached for comment Monday.
Franklin said he could not say whether Walker's rise in the poll has anything to do with the Democrats' heated gubernatorial primary race.
Marquette releases its next poll about a week before the primary.

School board eyeballs a potentially vacant seat
The Roswell School Board is already thinking of replacements for newly elected board member Pauline Ponce, should she choose to vacate her seat due to a conflict of interest.
Board member Eloy Ortega told the board during its monthly meeting Tuesday that he will recommend sitting vice president George Peterson, who lost to Ponce in the Feb. 1 election for District 4, [auth] keep his seat if Ponce remains undecided or declines her duties.
"She's probably not going to come on the school board,†Ortega said. "So I think that at our next meeting, I'm going to recommend to the board that Mr. Peterson continues to stay on the board.â€
Ponce, a school teacher at Sunset Elementary, has remained mum on whether she will decline her elected position in order to keep her teaching job. State statue states that employees of the school district, like Ponce, are not allowed to serve on the School Board.
Ponce did not respond to multiple phone calls from the Daily Record, but said last week that she was "looking at my options.â€
Ponce has until March 1 — the start of a full term of office for a member of a local school board, according to state statute— to make a decision.
If she declines her seat, a 1979 state statute says the School Board can fill the vacancy by appointing a qualified person with a majority vote of the remaining board members.

A Surge In Oil Production
U.S. oil production is surging and imports are down, to the surprise of many in the industry. What does this mean for oil and gas companies, investors and energy policy? Maybe the free market should take the credit, and we don.t need an energy policy after all, Haines contends.
It is fashionable to say that North America is the new Middle East. That could be true, as the facts are startling. By the end of this year, the Bakken shale in North Dakota and Montana could be producing 750,000 barrels of oil a day. Texas will add 500,000 barrels a day from the Permian and Eagle Ford plays.and could do it again in 2013. In fact, a recent Harvard University study thinks we may even be underestimating the new supply here, and around the world.

Link to the Prints:
The video shows the process of making a sound print by using powder toner, used in laser printers and a Chladni plate, constructed from two speakers and a plexiglas plate. The work exploits sound waves to create a rich textured aleatoric surface. By setting up the parameters and using the force of sound waves, the artist separates himself from expressive process of creation and limits his physical presence in the final piece.
This series of prints is made by using Chladni plate and different frequencies and sounds played through it, result with different images on the surface of the paper. The technology used for printing and preserving the image is similar lo laser printer technology in terms of using the laser printer powder toner as printing medium and using quartz lamps to fix the powder on to the paper.
Certain amount of laser toner powder is dispersed across the paper that is laid on the Chladni plate – a Plexiglas plate on top of the two audio speakers. The goal is to produce prints with a high physical presence without concrete physical interaction, eliminating gestures, composition, human impact. By setting up the parameters of the work, and letting it determine the formal presence of the work, its look and final result, I am separating myself from the creative process of image making and abstracting it to the level of pure concept and in the same time having the characteristics of expressive print as a mere technological outcome.
Each print is a memory, a recording of some force, some event preserved on the surface. Particles that at one moment are static, at the next moment take on the form of some event that is preserved in their shape. Stimulated by sound, they move, creating patterns, shapes and textures.

Annual Green-Up Clean-Up a Big Success for RIC Community
Rhode Island College President Nancy Carriuolo was joined by Congressman David Cicilline and more than 130 volunteers for RIC's Green-Up Clean-Up day, an annual event held to help beautify the campus while promoting pride within the RIC community.
"Rhode Island College is committed to maintaining a sustainable campus in which all our faculty, students and staff can take pride," Carriuolo said. "This year's Green-Up Clean-Up was Rhode Island College's most successful to date, and the wonderful support we received illustrates that the community is equally committed to this mission. It is rewarding to have so many community members actively engaged in our mission to keep our campus beautiful."
North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi, North Providence Town Council President Kristen Catanzaro and North Providence Town Council member-at-large Alice Brady also volunteered at the event.
The record number of volunteers, who gave their time on to clean up litter from key spots around the RIC campus, represented more than 20 campus organizations.
Jenifer Giroux, interim vice president for professional studies and continuing education, said that it was particularly uplifting to have Henry Barnard School students volunteer alongside their parents and teachers.
"The event has continued to grow each year, demonstrating the commitment of students, staff, faculty, neighbors and government leaders to support Rhode Island College," Giroux said. "We saw our greatest number of participants this year and we strive to see Green-Up Clean-Up continue to grow each year."
Goodwill Industries of Rhode Island held a free electronics (e-waste) recycling station. The organization also collected gently used clothing, footwear and household linens and accessories that will help to fund its programs to train Rhode Islanders with disabilities and employment barriers.
Green-Up Clean-Up day is one of several sustainability initiatives at Rhode Island College. RIC's Green Team also oversees green education programming and college-based efforts to protect the environment and promote sustainable living.

At a closed door meeting of U.S. Senators and limited government advocates in Washington, D.C. earlier this week, there was an unlikely attendee … and an unlikely champion for the adoption of an uncompromising position on the ongoing debt ceiling debate.
His name? Lindsey Graham.
"He was the most aggressive voice in the room," one of the meeting's attendees told FITS.
Wait … Lindsey Graham? The most liberal Republican in Washington, D.C.? The "third Senator from New York?"
That's right … for the time being, Graham isn't focused on his prior collaboration with U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) on energy tax hikes. Nor is he spending much time working on amnesty legislation with U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York).
Instead, Graham is meeting regularly with Tea Party leaders like U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) – urging them to stand their ground against raising the debt ceiling from $14.3 to $16.7 trillion without concessions.
While our sources declined to elaborate on the specific debt ceiling strategy that Graham advocated at this meeting, they said that he gave an impassioned speech that in no uncertain terms recommended calling U.S. President Barack Obama's bluff.
"Jaws were on the floor," one of the meeting's attendees told FITS.
"Lindsey Graham is born again hard," another said, referring to a famous line from the movie Full Metal Jacket.
Graham's South Carolina consultant, Richard Quinn, says that Graham is firmly committed to the "cut cap and balance" proposal that cleared the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week. That plan calls for the adoption of a balanced budget amendment and a cap on the growth of government in future years – as well as modest immediate cuts.
It's not a perfect plan – as we noted earlier this week – but it is infinitely preferable to the amorphous U.S. Senate plan, which would include roughly $1 trillion in "revenue enhancements" and no guaranteed cuts.
That plan is being advanced by a so-called "Gang of Six," which includes Republican U.S. Senators Saxby Chambliss (RINO-Georgia), Mike Crapo (RINO-Idaho) and Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma).
Wait … Tom Coburn? The guy who literally wrote the book on how Washington, D.C. erodes the fiscal conservative values of Republican politicians?
He's supporting what amounts to nothing short of a wholesale betrayal of taxpayers? Sadly, yes.
"(Coburn)'s tired," one of our D.C. sources says. "All you have to do is look at the man (to see) he's been beaten down."
Anyway, Graham's recent ideological adjustment (we're nowhere near ready to call it a conversion) is worth taking note of for a couple of reasons.
Locally, it impacts what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated electoral battles in South Carolina history. In 2014, Graham is likely to be challenged by S.C. Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), the leading fiscal conservative in the S.C. General Assembly.
Last month, Davis indicated that he would not run for a new U.S. House district in the event one were created in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Davis has also reportedly told leaders in the S.C. Senate that he is not interested in becoming a compromise candidate for the lieutenant governor's office in the event that its current occupant, Ken Ard, is forced to resign.
"He's gunning for Graham," one Lowcountry GOP activist told FITS.
On the national level, Graham's tack to the right makes it much harder for "Republicans" in Washington to sign off on any compromise that raises the debt ceiling without real, ironclad concessions … concessions signed in blood.
After all, for the first two years of the Obama administration Graham has been the GOP's leftward line of demarcation – occupying positions on the ideological spectrum that no other Republican dared to even approach.
The fact that he's now staking out ground on the more conservative side of the debt ceiling debate removes an element of "cover" for Republican politicians tempted to cave on the debt debate.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Not everybody thought the vaccination scheme the CIA reportedly used to confirm Osama bin Laden's whereabouts was as badass as we did.
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency took the news of the DNA-collecting operation as a sign that it needed to imprison more of Pakistan's citizens, and the Daily Beast's Kent Sepkowitz was among those who wondered if "the plot also likely will confirm people's worst fears about our conniving double-dealing government."
But it was Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), aka Doctors Without Borders, that had perhaps the most critical response. The NGO expressed serious concerns about the blowback that could result from the intelligence agency's creative tactic, particularly regarding its potential effect on the already shaky relationship between humanitarian medical teams and impoverished populations. McClatchy has the story:
"The risk is that vulnerable communities — anywhere — needing access to essential health services will understandably question the true motivation of medical workers and humanitarian aid," Unni Karunakara, the group's international president, said…"The potential consequence is that even basic health care, including vaccination, does not reach those who need it most." …
The impact of the CIA vaccination drive may be keenly felt in Pakistan, a country with low immunization levels and where the public already sees an American conspiracy everywhere. Polio campaigns could be at particular risk, as Pakistan has the biggest polio problem in the world.
MSF's complaint is not without merit. For years, HIV/AIDS prevention and basic health assistance in African countries has been hindered by superstition, and humanitarian groups in the Middle East often face violence and suspicion from the locals. While there's no way to know for sure how the news of the CIA operation will affect vulnerable populations in the long term, many aid workers seem to be highlighting the worst-case scenario of massive unintended consequences. AlertNet reports:
"Health interventions are by nature apolitical; vaccinations protect children all over the world against diseases that can kill and maim for life. We hope that this story does not prevent children in Pakistan being vaccinated against polio, measles and other diseases," [the United Nations' World Health Organization's] spokeswoman Sona Bari said.
Unfortunately, this isn't even the most messed-up or convoluted thing the CIA has ever tried in Pakistan. At least it's not the loudest and most costly.

It is also a solution for those who want direct access to the pool from the home.
The modules move effortlessly and without any risk of blocking by gently pushing the enclosure's uprights along its patented runner.
On a facade or on a wall, a special rail made from galvanised steel with horizontally or vertically-linked runs of casters ensures easy handling. "Z" shape flashing sits on top of the rail in order to direct the rainwater on top of the roof.

thx for the comment from Fultonsphoto, Aughty and Ladyminnie and all the others that spending their time to read my blog, and thx for the advice, postprocessing is definitetly the most important in the digital time.besides how i wish i could have more time. to learn, to read, to take pics and to travel.
agree, already an editors choice is a good thingI dont even have that, just keep making photos and watch the little things
I agree with Fultosphoto. Also remember a photographer is an artist. You have the gift of seeing, I call it the third eye ... that is what makes you great. Photography is just a way of sharing it with the world. And DT can help you do that. Keep the day job ... you will know when the time is right to go PRO. Good luck! I will follow your career here on DT.
I think you are doing well so far, not many uploads yet your sales seem to be coming, and you already have an editors choice with just over 40 images submitted, that's definitely a good thing. If you are serious about it then take a photography course, and for me and what I have seen in the stock market, a Photoshop course to learn all the post processing techniques which definitely give some photos the edge here. Good luck...
