In this issue we will examine the realities of document security within businesses and how "spring cleaning" your document destruction policy can help keep your company on track with its sensitive information disposal processes. With an estimated 42 per cent of businesses not concerned about security breaches, according to a poll conducted for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, there's an implication that businesses are not properly managing, cleaning out their filing and storage cabinets or disposing of outdated or unwanted information on a regular basis1.

For many businesses, setting a schedule for clearing out old files can help get rid of outdated or unnecessary documents and clear up space around the office. However, this practice can also help any business, large or small, reduce their risk of exposing confidential data. Businesses should apply a "spring cleaning" policy to their own business practice to ensure that old, outdated and unwanted files and or papers are securely destroyed. Doing so will help organizations avoid exposing confidential information that can increase the risk of fraud, data breaches or identity theft that could result for their company, their customers or even their own employees.
Many businesses are required by law to keep confidential client information, as well as employee or company data for a minimum amount of time. There are numerous business records that should be held on to for a minimum of seven years, which can include employee agreements, business loan documentation, litigation records, as well as general expense reports and records including overhead expenses and professional consultation fees 2.
Other documents may be kept for shorter, longer or an indefinite period of time and it's important to know what legal requirements are enforced for your industry to not only stay compliant, but to also dispose of documents you may no longer need. Regularly maintaining filing cabinets and securely disposing of old documents can help minimize risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands. The risks of keeping old documents containing sensitive data can be high – resulting in identity theft, fraud and potential financial loss or reputational damage.
Paper: Don't throw old papers or files into the recycling bin. Loose paper is often unattended before it has been recycled and can leave your organization vulnerable to potential security breaches. Papers in recycling bins can be misplaced or stolen. Instead, ensure you dispose of loose paper in a secure, locked console that cannot be accessed until it is ready to be shredded by a reliable professional.
Electronic sources: Erasing disks and drives is no guarantee that the data will be wholly eliminated. Physical destruction, rendering the object unreadable by any machine is the safest option.
Shred-all: Implementing a "shred-all" policy for the disposal process when all unneeded documents are fully destroyed on a regular basis. This dramatically minimizes any potential risk or exposure.
Developing a clear set of guidelines and aligning the disposal policies throughout the business will ensure that the decision to destroy is taken out of the hands of individual employees and will minimize the risk of a data breach for the organization. Whether intentional or unintentional, leaked information can be preyed upon by criminal groups in order to commit fraud and identity theft crimes. It is important to maintain regular secure disposal of paper waste, proper organization and maintenance of stored records as well as an efficient and sound process for destroying outdated records that are no longer needed.

Yeah, it was soldered. I used a desoldering braid to get the solder off of the two twist clip things and kind of forced it off the PCB. I need to order the LEDs for the CD player and steering wheel buttons.
The ashtray lights seem a bit impossible for me. idk, I'll try again later. Gonna start on the cluster tonight (hopefully). Kinda tired. The interior of the car looks like I was robbed.
I also noticed that on the LCM, the PLCC2 LEDs look a bit yellow compared to the 3mm of the fog light button and the PLCC2 on the HVAC controls. I think there is a filter of some sort on the LCM faceplate. Makes me sad.
EDIT: The "filter" on the LCM is actually the plastic. It has a yellowish tinge to it and is thick, so the LEDs don't shine as brightly through it while being slightly off color.
The cluster is done, though. I finished the LED swap in about an hour and a half (or however long Megamind is). For the LCDs, I doubled up on cut printer paper (fold paper in half, cut at the crease = double layer of paper) and replaced the white/orange gel with the paper. Hooray for autotragic because I had to do this twice.
Reminding myself to remember which way the LEDs point
Not so finished

The civilised world will, we feel sure, sleep more soundly in its bed tonight for knowing it has a new ally in the war against terror. "It just seemed silly to chase around after the Riddler when Osama bin Laden is out there," Frank Miller, the creator of the Caped Crusader (for it is he), has reportedly told a convention in San Francisco. As a consequence, Mr Miller added rather more succinctly, in the comic-strip hero's new and as-yet unpublished adventure,Batman Kicks al-Qaida's Ass. What can we say, Bruce? Welcome. It's good to have you on board.
The thing that slightly confuses the Diary about this whole bird flu business, we freely admit, is that when it was many thousands of miles away we could talk of nothing else, but now it's in the kind of place we go on holiday we apparently couldn't care less. Just, however, in case you are among the minority beginning to twitch at the fact that H5N1 has been found in migratory wildfowl in Greece, Italy and Germany, we are happy to pass on the following useful tip from Guillaume Hounsouve at the Benin agriculture ministry: try, if possible, to avoid biting the heads off live chickens. The ministry has issued an urgent all-points advisory to at-risk groups following the disease's arrival in neighbouring Nigeria, but is "particularly concerned at the dangers for fetishists and followers of the voodoo cult who kill animals with their teeth," Mr Hounsouve says. Handy or what?
Alternatively, you may want to try the new air-conditioning filter from South Korea's LG Electronics, which reportedly features a wonder enzyme extracted from kimchi, a traditional spicy fermented vegetable speciality featuring improbable quantities of red pepper, radishes, garlic and ginger. According to some plainly unflaky research last year from Seoul's National University, 11 flu-infected chickens out of 13 recovered from the disease after dining on the dish. We imagine, though, you'll probably need one of those tricky PIN numbers for credit card purchases.
Which brings us neatly, or so we fondly imagine, to Paul Cottingham and Michael Cashman MEP, long and indeed upstanding Labour party campaigners who seal their civil partnership on March 11. We know this because of a lovely letter they have written to supporters which has landed on our desk. "We met," the pair fondly recall, "in 1983, in the seaside town of Scarborough. And we have been inseparable ever since." Over the past two decades, of course, "being a gay couple, we have seen society change around us". And if "gay people now have the right to live with equality and respect" it is, obviously, because "the Labour party in government can help shape attitudes for the better". And so, as the great day of the partnership ceremony ("introduced by our Labour government") approaches, what could be more selflessly apt than to benefit from this special occasion by asking all those who want to "celebrate our commitment to each other" to "show your support" and "please donate today"? Yeeeuraargh, we feel, is the right response here. And we bet you need a PIN number, too.

So their DDs get alot of work on upland birds.
The one's in the North do. Your assumption that German's are willing to travel as freely to hunt is where you go wrong. Most think we are crazy here in America for driving as far as we do to hunt. So, my statement that "most" (the one's in the 75% of Germany that has little in the way of upland hunting) DD's see more Russian Boars and Hares than pheasants still stands.
They shoot as many boar as pheasant and duck.

They seem to be typical. Flashing lights in either one or both eyes, difficulty seeing followed by a headache. After the 1st one I has an MRI (I think) and since then I have done nothing.
about 10-25 minutes of lights and then a few hours of headache. The headache is not intense as many people experience. They usually follow stress. I have had about 4...no more than 5.
No, I just want to know if I need to make an appointment with my GP or it is still in the acceptable range of frequency.

(from Hollywood Park release)
Awesome Gambler, impressive winner of his last two starts, faces his toughest challenge to date when he aims for his first graded stakes win in Sunday's $100,000 Affirmed Handicap (gr. III) at Hollywood Park.
The impressive chestnut son of Coronado's Quest broke his maiden on the Cushion Track April 28, then upset the more seasoned Cobalt Blue in the Alydar Stakes on May 26. Besides San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) winner Cobalt Blue, Awesome Gambler will face Lazaro S. Barrera (gr. III) winner Time to Get Even and Baldwin (gr. IIIT) winner Desert Code in the 1 1/16-mile event for 3-year-olds.
Awesome Gambler, owned by Peter and Barbara Walski of Chino Hills, ran twice as a 2-year-old. He finished second only to be disqualified and placed eighth in his career bow and was second in the Gateway to Glory Stakes at Fairplex Park.
"This horse is unreal, by far the best 3-year-old I've ever had," trainer Caesar Dominguez said after the Alydar win. "Like his dad, he's got a mind of his own, but he can run. We were considering the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) but ran out of time. We stopped on him last year because of shins. We pin-fired them and turned him out to the farm for 90 days."
Awesome Gambler, who will be pointed to the Swaps Breeders' Cup Stakes (gr. II) on July 14 if all goes well Sunday, will be cutting back in distance after running nine furlongs in the Alydar.
"I think he really wants to go a mile-and-a-quarter, but I don't think shortening him a sixteenth of a mile will bother him," Dominguez said. "He's so smooth it is unreal."
A $50,000 purchase as a weanling, Awesome Gambler will be ridden once again by apprentice Joe Talamo and break from the four-post in the talented field of six 3-year-olds.
Merv Griffin's Cobalt Blue enters the Affirmed with a race-high $222,350 in earnings. Removed from Kentucky Derby (gr. I) contention just days before the race, the chestnut captured his career debut at Hollywood last June and won his first two starts of 2007, the latter a two-length win in the San Felipe. He then ran poorly as the favorite in the Illinois Derby (gr. II) and came up short against Awesome Gambler when returning in the Alydar.
"He probably needed that race (Alydar), he hadn't run since the Illinois Derby and had shipped all around," O'Neill said. "He's full of energy."
Time to Get Even connected at odds of 7-1 in the seven-furlong Barrera as Flores notched the 3,000th victory of his career. Trained by Walther Solis, who was mentored by Dominguez, the son of Stephen Got Even has won back-to-back races after finishing second in his career debut March 23. He will be negotiating two turns for the first time.
Desert Code, beaten a neck while finishing third in the Barrera, came up just a nose short two starts back while traveling one mile on turf at Santa Anita in the La Puente. Prior to that, he scored back-to-back wins, the latter in the Baldwin, also on turf. The David Hofmans-trained colt has finished in the money in six of eight starts while earning $167,474.
Unusual Suspect has been very competitive while winning twice and finishing in the money six times in 11 starts. The Barry Abrams-trained colt will test Cushion Track for the third time after making his last five starts on turf.
Albertus Maximus, testing stakes company for the first time while making his fifth start, has been impressive while winning his last two races for Brandon and Marianne Chase. He broke his maiden in March at Santa Anita and was an impressive allowance winner at Hollywood at 1 1/16 miles on May 3.

Lake George gizzard shad harvesting
For more information on algal blooms
Lower St. Johns River Basin
In the lower basin of the St. Johns River (that portion of the watershed from Lake George to the river's mouth at Mayport), a wide variety of everyday activities inadvertently add nitrogen and phosphorus, essential plant nutrients, to surface waters. In fact, in an average year, approximately 15 million pounds of nitrogen pollution and 1.8 million pounds of phosphorus pollution (or 1,680 dump trucks carrying 10,000 pounds each) enter the river between Palatka and the river's mouth.
Treated wastewater is the largest contributor of nutrient pollution in the lower St. Johns River. This partially treated sewage is treated and disinfected in wastewater utilities, then, often times, is pumped to the St. Johns River for disposal. Other significant nutrient pollution sources include farms in the agricultural areas of Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties, carrying animal wastes, fertilizers and pesticides into the waterway through canals, ditches and streams that lead to the river.
Storm water from urban and suburban areas sends lawn fertilizers, sediments, pesticides, roadway grease and trash into the river and its tributaries. Storm water contributes the majority of the toxic trace metals — such as copper, lead and cadmium — that enter Florida waters and the lower St. Johns River. The upstream watersheds of the river (the upper and middle St. Johns River basins) also contribute significant amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus to Lake George and the lower St. Johns River. The nutrient-rich discharges into the river have fed harmful algal blooms, which can concentrate with wind and tide to create aesthetically unappealing and occasionally foul-smelling shoreline mats. Such blooms can also harm the environment by blocking sunlight to submerged aquatic plants, deplete dissolved oxygen, and impact fish and other wildlife by reducing the quality of the aquatic food chain, and on occasion, producing algal toxins.
These pollutants currently exceed the amount that the lower St. Johns River can receive and still meet state and federal water quality standards.
From the air, the St. Johns River appears to snake among the trees along its shoreline.
From the air, the St. Johns River appears to snake among the trees along its shoreline.
Florida's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act directed the St. Johns River Water Management District to conduct the necessary research to gain an understanding of what is needed to restore and properly manage the river, and to develop a plan for that work.
The district has formed partnerships over the years with local governments, other agencies, stakeholder groups and the public to develop initiatives to restore the river, including the 1998–2003 River Agenda and the 2006 River Accord.
The investments by the district and its partners are the largest in the lower St. Johns River's history and include a citywide no net-gain goal for septic tanks (Jacksonville/Duval County), a program to improve access to the river, an annual state of the river report and a research program to examine why the river's tributaries are filling in with silt.
Examples of the many projects either completed or under way include:
- The district's rough fish harvest was designed and implemented to meet downstream nutrient load reductions and reduce the severity of algal blooms in the lower St. Johns River. Utilizing $1.7 million in legislative appropriations over the last two years, approximately 20,000 pounds of phosphorus and 53,000 pounds of nitrogen have been removed from Lake George in Volusia, Putnam and Marion counties. In 2014, the May to September harvest removed more than 11,000 pounds of phosphorus and 29,000 pounds of nitrogen. The 2015 harvest, conducted with legislative appropriations for St. Johns River restoration and protection, removed 9,000 pounds of phosphorus and 27,000 pounds of nitrogen. Removing gizzard shad from Lake George will help to meet the necessary downstream nutrient loading reduction essential to meeting state water quality standards and reduce the severity of algal blooms in the lower St. Johns River.
- JEA's $32 million worth of completed and ongoing projects upgrade existing reclaimed water plants, provide reclaimed water for irrigation at golf courses and office parks, and make improvements to infrastructure to accommodate expanded reuse. Nutrient pollution removed from the river: 556,000 pounds/year. Discharge eliminated: 21 million gallons per day (mgd).
- Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA) launched operation of nine rapid infiltration basins at CCUA's Mid-Clay Wastewater Treatment Facility in February 2016, improving river water quality and reducing demands on the aquifer system. The project effectively eliminates wastewater discharges to the St. Johns River. Project benefits will include storing reclaimed water during wet periods for use during the dry months and reducing nitrogen to the lower St. Johns River by more than 19,000 pounds per year. The new basins allow the Mid-Clay facility to handle more than 2 million gallons of reclaimed water a day. Reclaimed water is stored and treated in a series of nine infiltration cells, where it percolates into the surficial aquifer. The recaptured water is pumped to CCUA's adjoining reclaimed water distribution system and used to augment the reclaimed water system. By redesigning the project in 2014 from an aboveground reservoir to the current footprint, CCUA saved taxpayers more than $1.6 million from the original cost estimate.
- Naval Air Station Jacksonville (NAS-Jax) launched its reclaimed water facility in October 2015. This project has far-reaching benefits, removing all of the NAS-Jax treated wastewater from the St. Johns River and reusing that water at NAS-Jax. Specifically, it eliminates 315 million gallons a year of wastewater effluent discharges to the river and approximately 45,000 lbs/yr of total nitrogen. With this "zero discharge," NAS-Jax will exceed its anticipated state requirements to reduce phosphorus entering waterways. The project also will reduce groundwater withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer by 48 million gallons a year. The district provided $1.8 million in funds toward this collaborative effort. In addition the U.S. Navy, the city of Jacksonville was a funding partner.
- Palatka expanded reclaimed water to the city's golf course, Ravine State Gardens and various recreational ball fields, ultimately removing all discharges from the river at a cost of $8.5 million. Completed in September 2012, the estimated total nitrogen reduction to the St. Johns River was 158,600 pounds per year and estimated total phosphorus reduction was 21,100 pounds per year.

The district is also engaged with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Conservation Service, University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and the Northeast Florida Growers Association in the Tri-County Agricultural Area (TCAA) Water Management Partnership. Partnership objectives are to contribute to the improved health of the lower St. Johns River through on-farm and regional water management projects and practices that reduce the movement of nutrients to the river, improve water conservation, and result in more efficient farm management while maintaining the long-term viability of agriculture in the TCAA.

Salted Caramels with Chilli and Fennel - The Sweet Swap
I was so excited to hear about The Sweet Swap for 2014. Sadly I was so busy and missed out on last year's registration. The Sweet Swap is organised by two amazing Bloggers. Sara from Belly Rumbles and Amanda from Chewtown. The concept is simple, you make enough sweets to send to 3 Bloggers all around Australia and in turn you will receive 3 delicious sweets back.
I decided that I was going to make a Filipino sweet called Pastillas De Ube. Unfortunately it didn't turn out and I was left with a tray of purple goo. I was running out of time and remembered a recipe that I made in the past with my friend Trissa. These salted caramels are delicious. I wanted to change it up, so I added some chilli flakes and fennel seeds.
Rockpool's Salted Caramels (with a hint of Fennel and Chilli)
500 grams caster sugar
250 grams liquid glucose
435 grams pouring cream (35% fat)
125 grams butter (I used Lurpak), cut into cubes
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt flakes, such as Murray River pink sea salt, mixed with 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes and1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1. Grease a 22cm square cake tin with cooking spray and line with good quality wax paper. Spray again.
2. In a large pot, combine the sugar, glucose and cream. Stir gently and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook gently until the mixture reaches a temperature of 113c. (It took me approximately 15 minutes to reach that heat).
3. Using a whisk, add the butter and continue to mix until the butter has dissolved into the mixture. From here on, do not stir. Let the temperature reach 119c and remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the vanilla paste. Pour the mixture on to the greased pan. Quickly scatter the sea salt mixture on top of the caramel.
4. Allow the caramel to rest and cool. This should take around 2 to 3 hours. Once the caramel has cooled, remove it from the tin, remove the wax paper and cut into 1.5 cm strips. Then cut each strip into 2 cm pieces. Wrap in cellophane (or baking paper) and store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 5 days.
As part of the Sweet Swap, I received 3 delicious sweets. The first one arrived from Cassie from Journey From Within, she made a delicious Rocky Road full of delicious nuts, marshmallows and she added a little rice bubbles for some Snap, Crackle and Pop.
The second package came from Gabby and Norman from Baking with Gab, Gabby made some delicate Meringues, which unfortunately didn't all make it out alive. They still tasted delicious. She made two flavours which were Earl Grey and Orange and Rose Water and Pistachio. So dainty and so easy to eat, especially with the tea blend that Gabby sent with the sweets.
The last Sweet Swap treat came from Kate from Foodies Agenda, she made a Choc Hazelnut and Banana Granola. This was delicious over the top of some light Greek yoghurt. I pretty much demolished this on the day that I received it. It was fantastic.
The Sweet Swap was a fun experience and I enjoyed waiting for sweet treats to arrive in the mail. I cant wait till next year. Not only is this a fun way to meet Bloggers all over Australia, Sara and Amanda have also done this to raise money for Child Fund Australia. Did you know that $390.00 can provide Children with clean drinking water? If you would like to donate to Child Fund Australia please go to http://www.childfund.org.au

BR assessment- (in the UK ) on 13th April 2012. Scared and excited- help!!!!
- Deb uk
- Last updated: 5 years ago
Hello there! Can anyone help? As i have stated above, i have my assessment and like most women on here (i've been reading your messages for months now) I am excited and terrified at the same time. A colleague at work had a BR in Jan 2012 and said it was worth it, which gave me the green light to get it sorted. Any advice or words of encouragement would be very appreciated. I think i am worried i wont get through the op or they will be too big afterwards or worse still, they will grow back.... I am 47 and had 2 planned C-Sections which were ok- not as bad as i thought (although i was terrified at the time) but now i am older i am really scared. I dont smoke or take the contraceptive pill and i weigh around 12st at 5ft 7 so i hope that weight wont be a factor. What is worse is my hips and legs are fine - i can fit in a size 12 (UK) -I dont know what size this is in the US-(sorry) but my rib measurement is 34 inches. I have to wear a size 20 top which meaks me look huge as my breasts are a 34GG. People always comment on how big and top heavy i look and it makes me upset. I so want to wear nice bras and get married in a strapless dress and wear nice things instead of struggling to buy tops and wearing black tops all of the time. I have always been top heavy even when i lost alot of weight following a nasty divorce, my boobs stayed a GG but i was 28 inches GG!! Horrible! Can anyone offer me some words of encouragement? I think the procedure is the same here in the UK as the US only we dont have a mammogram just a physical examination to check of lumps etc. I am paying for this myself and my only worries are about post op pain, will i survive (yes i am a wuss) and will they grow back and end up big again?? Silly I know but i am mworried about having to go through another op if something goes wrong. Can anyone help me please??? Thank you Debs UK x x

The Latest from Bob Brenna
I have seen criminals who are convicted of heinous crimes treated with dignity, a sometimes unpleasant sight, but one which stems from the Founding Father's belief that the government must remain civilized even when we are tempted to forget the principles upon which this great country was founded. Recently, we saw a former police Captain, who, to the best of my knowledge has always treated those around him with courtesy and respect, and has never previously been accused, much less convicted of any criminal conduct-marched before a parade of surreptitiously gathered television cameras.
He was publicly humiliated as he was marched across exchange Boulevard despite voluntarily surrendering when asked to do so. I wonder why he was treated with less dignity than our society has bestowed upon convicted murderers or rapists. When one is asked to surrender-and does so voluntarily-he keeps his pact with society-and any assumptions that he or she is unwilling to cede control to law enforcement necessarily falls by the wayside. Once that person has complied with his end of the bargain, his pact with society-in this case our government's request to voluntarily give up his freedom, any doubt he will act within the confines of control is gone. Despite this, this man was handcuffed-not just handcuffed- but handcuffed behind his back and marched in a televised perp walk which serves no legitimate purpose whatsoever. I have never seen someone voluntarily surrender at the requested location, only to find out that it is not where they would be taken into custody, but merely a staging area for a public media frenzy. If the rumors that the defendants cordially spent an hour with those who requested their surrender , and suddenly learned that they would be physically restrained and treated in a manner which society reserves for those who truly pose an imminent threat of violence to their custodians is an embarrassment to all of us. This man was and is presumed to be innocent. To say he was suckered into being pilloried in public after keeping his pact with society is an understatement. It is unacceptable, especially after "off the record" emails to the press stationed cameras to maximize the benefit of public embarrassment. At the very least this should be reserved for those convicted by a jury of their peers based upon evidence which is beyond a reasonable doubt. This conduct was paid for by our taxes. Whether money was wisely spent on this investigation and prosecution will not be known for quite some time. The inability to accept this conduct requires no wait whatsoever.

Description: This is a 3-terminal microswitch, with a small push-button. This switch has a great 'clicky' sound to it, and a nice tactile feel.
How can I connect this to a 6 outlet power supply? I am a noob at electronics.
Do less "clicky" variations of this switch exist?
I'd buy one of these if it had a level and was rated 5A, like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049718&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032230#
The current rating for this switch says 4A in the description, but 3A on the switch itself. Not a big deal because I won't even get close to that, but watch out!
Is there a datasheet available for this switch? I'd like to know what the operating force for this and the 2-terminal switch is.
It's a shame this one doesn't come with a lever, or the one with a lever only has 2 terminals. I really need a NC microswitch. Tempted to hack the 2 terminal…
No reviews yet.

Albany, Ga. • The trial of three people charged in a deadly salmonella outbreak linked to a southwest Georgia peanut plant could keep jurors tied up for more than two months, the trial judge said Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge W. Louis Sands told several dozen people called for jury duty that prosecutors alone may need eight weeks to present evidence at the trial of former Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell, his brother and food broker, Michael Parnell, and the peanut plant's quality control manager, Mary Wilkerson. The case could go much longer, depending on how many witnesses defense attorneys call.

Malin Akerman's IKEA Stop
Posted Tuesday January 29, 2013 12:16 AM GMT
Taking care of some errands, Malin Akerman and her husband, Roberto, did some shopping at a Burbank, CA IKEA on Monday (January 28).
Showing off her baby bump in a black-and-white striped skirt, the "Rock of Ages" cutie enjoyed a cool treat as she headed into the store.
While awaiting the birth of her little one, the 34-year-old Sweden native has been keeping busy with two films in production.
Ms. Akerman is also filming the made-for-television movie, "Trophy Wife," about a reformed party girl who finds herself an insta-family after falling in love with a man with 3 manipulative children and two judgmental ex-wives.
Enjoy the pictures of Malin Akerman shopping at Ikea in Burbank, CA (January 28).

Caldwell Sheriff scandal

#1 Dec 7, 2012
Looks like they discovered two Hudson cops were involved. That means a hairstylist from Lenoir will lose her husband soon!!!!!!
#2 Dec 7, 2012
WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES??? I'm not afraid to post my real name because all of this mess is childish and stupid and NONE of anyone else's business!!! My name and my family has been talked about and beat down on some of the forums & this drama HAS to stop!! Unless you have FACTS or PROOF then there's no reason for anyone to say anything! Why can't people just live their own lives & move forward instead of backward, or just plain STUCK in the "drama lifestyle"???
#3 Dec 8, 2012
I don't care about the personal lives but if it involves tax dollars paid by the poorest people in this entire State, for policing, patrol, protection then we deserve to know. Drama ? May be but it isn't the tax payers fault, we deserve to know. Somebody somewhere has got to care to have the job and honor the badge they wear. If things were done off the clock and taxpayer money not involved then I don't care.....conversation dropped. But if it was, people need to own up to cheating this already sorry excuse of a county.
Cuajimalpa, Mexico
#4 Dec 8, 2012
Exactly. I cant see how anyone can set there and say it's no one's business when hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars have been embezzled on top of all this other crap. They have to be involved or they wouldn't say that.
#5 Dec 8, 2012
I just want to clairfy that I wasn't talking about the Sheriff's office... I was responding to the first post. I do believe that the tax payers and people NEED to know what is really going on with the "scandal". I apologize for the confusion. This is my last post because I prefer information that is correct and not just peoples opinion. God Bless
#6 Dec 8, 2012
The embezzlement happened at the Sheriffs Office, what do you think we are talking about. That is a fact and was acknowledge by the county however they refused to release how much and what all happened. We know no one was criminally charged but yet they kept our tax money. Apparently you have no clue what all is going on out there.
#7 Dec 8, 2012
Ma'am, if there is anyone in your family involved, I am truly sorry. Honestly, I am not out to damage anyone except those who have smeared my reputation and those of my friends. It just so happens that some of those involved in the sex scandal are guilty of that. Nobody from Hudson was involved. There is no question about that. However there are those at the Sheriff's Office who need to pay. I may be blind by anger and frustration, but I am tired of getting my name smeared and blacklisted every time I go to try to get employed elsewhere. I'm tired of the same thing happening to people that I consider friends or people that I've always admired. I'm tired of those bastards acting above the law and abusing their authority and nothing is ever done about it. And I'm tired of dumbass citizens who think Alan Jones is God's gift to law enforcement although they don't know a damn thing about him.
#8 Dec 8, 2012
Right on Brother!!!!!
#9 Dec 8, 2012
Did I see a SURVEY asking to vote if the NC SBI should investigate this mess? Dang, that's pretty bad. Hope the innocent run for the hills.
#10 Dec 9, 2012
Thank you very much. Myself nor my family have any personal involvment in what is going on at the Sheriffs office & you are 100% correct about this whole situtation! Many of my friends have been hurt by the "officers" who are supposed to watch over and protect the people in this community and everything that is going on is just insane... Like I tried to make clear in what I was hoping would be my last post on this forum, the talk about other people and their families should not be discussed on this forum. The first post was completely uncalled for. That is all that I was trying to say. Thank you Black Dog for taking the time to respond & in some way defend what I was saying. God Bless and I'm sorry that you have also had loved ones hurt by the police in this town.
#11 Dec 9, 2012
Ummmmm....... If you don't like gossip and putting others down then WTF are you doing on topix??? You just don't like it when it's about you and your gaywad family. Go get your certificate and become a legit hairstylist instead of the owners wannabe daughter!!!

STFU you big, ugly c*nt!
#13 Dec 9, 2012
After reading this post I can clearly see exactly why you were fired and black balled out of law enforcement. You are worse than the ones forced to resign. You wouldn't even make a decent dog catcher much less a deputy!!! Put that in your mom's crack pipe and smoke it you wannabe policeman!!!
#14 Dec 9, 2012
Obviously u were a swapped wife at the Sheriff's Office. While u bathe in the filth of their corruption, remember, we know who u are and we will not be silent. U will have to kill us before we go quietly in the night you big mangina!
#15 Dec 10, 2012
Now get your a** off the computer, get back to the kitchen, and maybe if ur husband screws u some more, maybe, you won't be in such an antagonistic mood, U C*NTASAURUS REX!
#16 Dec 10, 2012
Such talk from a wannabe deputy.
Did it hurt your little feelings because they took your little silver star and told everybody else not to give you one? There's a reason they do that, nobody wants to be responsible for turning a whack-a-loon loose with a badge and a gun. It doesn't matter who the sheriff is you'll never get your job back because you're just not LEO material. Now choke on that slap nutz
#18 Dec 10, 2012
Black Log got is tiny wittle weewee spanked and he's too but-sore and crying to just move on. It's entertaining actually to see one of these BLET types get whacked and watch their pitiful whining descent into unemployable irrelevance.
After all, what else can any of these punks do except complain about their worthless lot in life?
Who cares? I just hope he continues to suffer.
#19 Dec 10, 2012
At least I wasn't some Explorer ho f*cking a deputy who was too stupid to use condoms. Now ur just like BJ: the Goodyear blimp.
#20 Dec 10, 2012
By the way, I heard u were f*cking Longo too? Is that his kid ur carrying?
#22 Dec 10, 2012
Oh yeah Mrs. C*ntasaurus Rex, the whole act of blackballing, that is a violation of NC Labor Law. Now put that dick in your mouth and suck on it! Better yet suck mine! I know u love to swallow!

Numerical exploration of plastic deformation mechanisms of copper nanowires with surface defects
Zhan, Haifei, Gu, YuanTong, Feng, XiQiao, & Yarlagadda, Prasad K. (2011) Numerical exploration of plastic deformation mechanisms of copper nanowires with surface defects. Computational Materials Science, 50(12), pp. 3425-3430.
Accepted Version
Based on the molecular dynamics simulation, plastic deformation mechanisms associated with the zigzag stress curves in perfect and surface defected copper nanowires under uniaxial tension are studied. In our previous study, it has found that the surface defect exerts larger influence than the centro-plane defect, and the 45o surface defect appears as the most influential surface defect. Hence, in this paper, the nanowire with a 45o surface defect is chosen to investigate the defect's effect to the plastic deformation mechanism of nanowires. We find that during the plastic deformation of both perfect and defected nanowires, decrease regions of the stress curve are accompanied with stacking faults generation and migration activities, but during stress increase, the structure of the nanowire appears almost unchanged. We also observe that surface defects have obvious influence on the nanowire's plastic deformation mechanisms. In particular, only two sets of slip planes are found to be active and twins are also observed in the defected nanowire.

Here is a shot of it from underneath just to show how bent it is. Hard to belive it's that bent!
This is a discussion on Well, Just when I Think tings can't get any worse!!! within the Tri-State forums, part of the Regional Discussion category; Here is a shot of it from underneath just to show how bent it is. Hard to belive it's that ...
Here is a shot of it from underneath just to show how bent it is. Hard to belive it's that bent!
Other than the steering arm, everything else checked out as far as I can tell.
Strut tower seemed to be un-tweaked also which was a relief.
Damaged wheel. Other than a few scrape and scratches, this thing help up!!
closer look at damage to wheel, there is a few more smaller spots but these are the worst. Like I said though, no mushoomed lip, cracks or visible bends.
The ultimate kick in the balls, the one inch indented scratch on my hood
You can just barely see it here but it is scratched and dented
Looks like I just got done a stage of rallying
I think I'll stick to Collin Mcrae 4. I wish I did it in a rally, atleast then it would have been a fun reason. This is some B.S.
Picture of her I took in a random parking lot after the Chili's meet. I hope they get her back to this condition
All in all, it's not as bad as I first thought. I think she is fixable back to it's previous condition with out any long term ill effects, but at what cost I do not know though. Anybody have an estimate or an educated guess? I have more pictures of stuff at different angles, if anybody wants to see them or see's something questionable in one of the pics, just shoot me a PM. Hopefully my insurance company will allow me to remain a member in the Suby Community, only time will tell though.

One more pic of her clean, believe it or not posting is helping my ride-less a$$ get through this Thanks for all the kind words and support
Glad to hear and see it's not that bad. I do think the front sway is bent rearward though. Other than that, the lower steering arm and rim, you are in good shape. You'll get a new fender and maybe a bumper. The lower arm bar V.2 definately helped alittle in this case I believe. I don't think you'll ever "feel" the results of this after she is fixed up. I'm sure the insurance co. will be happy and not cause you to walk with a limp. Think of it this way, you'll get an entire front clip repainted/blended. So no more rock chips to look at when washing.

PENNS MANOR: Curtain to rise on musical 'Little Women'
KENWOOD — Lights, camera, action! Tonight's the night for The Penns Manor Area High School's Fine Arts Department to shine. At 7 p.m. the curtains will open the spring musical: drum roll, please … " Little Women, The Broadway Musical."
This show has never been done at Penns Manor before. Can't make it tonight? No worries. There will be two more performances of "Little Women" this weekend: Saturday night at 7 p.m., and Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Tickets will be available for $6 at the door, and concessions will also be available at intermission.
"Little Women" is the story of Jo March, an aspiring young writer trying to make it big with the help of her three sisters and mother and is set during the Civil War era. The show is sure to make an audience laugh, maybe cry and, most importantly, realize that no dream is too big.
This year has brought many new aspects to the musical experience, one in particular being a new director: Rebecca Lingenfelter, a 2005 Penns Manor graduate.
With the help of Lingenfelter, assistant director and pit orchestra director Paul Rode and pianist Lauren Saylor, students involved with the production have been practicing weeknights as well as Saturday mornings to put the show together, and are all very excited to show the public what they've been up to.
As a member, and on behalf of the Penns Manor Musical Club, we would like to thank, in advance, everyone who will come out and support our cast and crew, as well as all of those who made the show possible.
Preparing for this musical has taken much time, determination and dedication, and has been a very important and exciting task for everyone involved, so come show your support and plan to see "Little Women, The Broadway Musical" in the Penns Manor auditorium this weekend.

| The Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for hazard and disaster research, policy making and practice in an international and multi-disciplinary context. It offers critical reviews and appraisals of current state-of-the-art and future development of conceptual, theoretical and practical apporaches as well as empirical knowledge and available tools. Organised intot he interrelated sections, this Handbook contains sixty-five contributions from leading scholars. Part I situates hazards and disasters in their broad political, cultural, economic and environmental context. Part II contains treatments of potentially damaging natural events/phenomena organised by major earth system along with categories of vulnerabilities to them and capacities to deal with them that exist in communities. Part III critically reviews progress in responding to disasters including warning, relief and recovery. Part IV addresses mitigation of potential loss and prevention of disasters under two sub-headings: governance, advocacy and self-help, and communication and participation. Part V ends with a concluding chapter by the editors. The engaging international contributors reflect upon the politics and policy of how we think about and practice applied hazard research and disaster risk reduction. This Handbook provides a wealth of interdisciplinary information and will appeal to students and practioners interested in Geography, Environment Studies and Development Studies.

The Tall Girls
Content may be inappropriate for children under age 11.
Sometimes basketball is the only way out. Even for a girl. Even in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
The tiny hamlet of Poor Prairie doesn't see a lot of folks coming into town, least of all men – they've all left to find desperately needed work. So when one gets off the train, everybody talks, especially the high school girls looking for a meal ticket. The marryin' kind.
But this man is mysterious. He's from Poor Prairie, but nobody knows where he's been and his story's got some…gaps. A few things are clear, though – he's teaching at the high school, he knows basketball, and most importantly, he has the only inflated basketball in town.
As for that meal ticket? He may just have that after all, if he can get his Poor Prairie girls good enough at basketball to sell a few tickets. And keep 'em from marryin' off. And out of fights. And out of the sights of the Committee on Play, Girls Division (it's the 1930s – when basketball was "dangerous" for girls). And stay ahead of that mysterious past…

CHANDLER, Ariz. – Senior Bethany Leclair had a memorable final collegiate round that almost rallied the Lumberjacks to a Big Sky Conference Championship. Leclair got as low as six-under par helped by a five-under par 31 on the first nine holes at Ocotillo Golf Resort to break the school single-round scoring mark.
But the Lumberjack rally came up short despite pushing the Portland StateVikings until the final hole. NAU shot a 291 team score to finish 11 strokes back of team champion Portland State. The Vikings, which led by 10 strokes entering the final round, led by only four strokes at one point during the round, finished with a 290 for a three-day total of 880.
"It was a valiant effort to shoot a great score and Bethany played phenomenal," said Head Coach Brad Bedortha. "We weathered the storm at the beginning and battled back to cut it to four strokes. We have nothing to be disappointed about and I could not be more proud."
Portland State opened the day with two eagles in the first two holes.
NAU's three-round total of 891 was the fourth-best team score in tournament history and second lowest non-winning score. The total would have won 16 of the previous 18 tournaments.
Leclair finished with a five-under par 67. Leclair's five-under par 67 broke the NAU school record and reset the Big Sky Championship record. Portland State's Yada tied the previous mark of four-under par 68 on Tuesday set by Sarah Kuykendall of Sacramento State (2005), Taya Battistella of Portland State (2003) and Stephanie Kim of NAU (2010).
"She was lights out," said Bedortha. "It was so fun to watch her play and compete. It was awesome to watch."
Leclair had birdies on No. 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 to card a personal-best five-under 31. She added a sixth birdie at the par-5 11th hole. She gave back two strokes with bogeys on the 14th and 15th holes. She finished with her seventh birdie at the 16th hole before completing her round with two pars.
"It felt amazing," said Leclair. "I had a two-footer on 18 to break the record and I knew I had to make it. It is amazing and I do not even think that describes it."
Leclair's score bettered the four-under par 68 by Stephanie Kim at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic in 2010 for the new school record.
She also set the Big Sky Tournament scoring mark with one-under par 215 with rounds of 73-75-67 held by teammate Stephanie Kim, only to have the mark broken 12 minutes later by 2011 Big Sky Champion Brittney Yada. Yada finished with a three-round total of six-under par 210. Leclair finished second overall, tying her highest finish of her career equaled during her freshman season in the championship.
Senior Alexa Kim was fifth overall with a six-over par 222 after a two-over par 74 in the final round. Freshman Kaitlen Parsons tied for ninth at 10-over par 226 following a 76, the top freshman in the field.
Sophomore Stephanie Kim, the defending champion in the event, tied for 16th at 13-over par 229. She went 77-77-75 in the three-day event. Senior Dakin Whitmer closed her career with a 77 to tie for 26th overall in the field.

Africa Without Egypt [Infographic]
A snapshot of the digital layer of the continent on the morning of Feb 1 after the last of Egypt's ISPs was taken offline.
In this image, the country code top level domains of Africa are organized by geoposition. The top countries are scaled to reflect the number of millions of internet users in those countries. Top Countries (by millions of users): (1) Egypt (2) Nigeria (3) Morocco (4) South Africa (5) Sudan (6) Algeria (7) Kenya (8) Tunisia (9) Uganda (10) Zimbabwe.
On January 25th, 2011 "The Day of Anger" a string of protests took place across Egypt. The protests were organized for many reasons, but largely due to frustration with the country's government. In retaliation, the Egyptian government shut down internet traffic to and from the country and Africa's first registered ccTLD (.EG), representing a population of 80 million (17 million regular internet users) effectively disappeared from the web.
This graphic originally visualized the ccTLDs of the African continent. It's been adapted to represent this temporary loss of Egyptian voices online. If we could see Africa's top level domains this would be a snapshot of the continent on the morning of Feb 1 after the last of Egypt's ISPs was taken offline.

UPDATE, 4 p.m., Nov. 24: Martinez has passed his physical and the four-year, $50 million deal is official, reports ESPN Deportes.
The Tigers have agreed to a deal with Red Sox catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez, according to several news media outlets, including FoxSports.com and the Boston Globe.
The contract is supposedly four years for $50 million for the 31-year-old four-time All-Star. He hit .302 with 20 home runs and 79 RBI in 127 games for the Red Sox in 2010. He is a career .300 hitter with a .838 OPS over nine years.
Martinez has spent most of his career, which started with the Indians, as a full-time catcher but in recent years has also played first base to keep his potent bat in the lineup. With the Tigers he would likely share catching duties with Alex Avila as well as trade off at first base and DH with Miguel Cabrera.
Cabrera stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the deal with Martinez to lend him support in a lineup lacked another big-time run producer last year.
Martinez's departure leaves the Red Sox with Jarrod Saltalamacchia as the only catcher on their roster with major league experience. Jason Varitek is also a free agent.
With John Buck off the board after signing with the Florida Marlins, the remaining free agent class at catcher is pretty thin, with veterans such as A.J. Pierzynski, Bengie Molina and Rod Barajas available.
The Red Sox may look to the trade market for relief, with clubs such as the Angels (Mike Napoli), Pirates (Ryan Doumit) and Marlins (John Baker) potentially having tradeable depth behind the plate. Martinez's departure will also free up cash to spend elsewhere (Martinez made $7.75 million in 2010) and Boston may make retaining Adrian Beltre or luring Jayson Werth a higher priority.
Martinez's impending arrival was already creating excitement among the Tigers. Infielder Will Rhymes was ecstatic, tweeting, "Can we start the season tomorrow?"

How to deter kitten from playing with poop and pee in the litter box?
My mommy is fostering a female kitten named Zoey =^-_-^=
She is about 6.5 weeks old and the other day I saw her pawing INTO her personal litter box. I thought "hmm maybe she dropped one of her toys in there." NO she was playing with a caked up piece of urine. Mom cleaned the box as fast as she could and went to work.
Now she's starting to notice little broken up pieces of litter-poo and pee around her box.
How can she get her to stop without scaring her away from the litter box? I want to nip this before she gets adopted lol

She's really young! Mamacats start litter training their babies at about 5 wks, so unless you know this baby's history, she may not have had that training. You can discourage this by using non-clumping litter (clay pellets). This will not stick to her (even kittens are fastidious).Make sure there's enough litter in the box to encourage sufficient "burying". Keep the box pristine. You can also put a mat outside the box for her to wipe her paws. Don't spray her near the box or yell at her there. You may turn her off of using the box. If you catch her, say "No-no!" and distract her with a toy. She's not doing it to be "bad", she just doesn't know any better, and she shouldn't be punished, just redirected.

Kitty should get over this in a week or two. Make sure she has a place that is her own like a nice little box with a towel in it or pet bed. My 5 fosters were all sleeping in the box until I got them a little soft house. They now, at 7 weeks, are just using the litter pan for its intended use. Now I understand why using a nice cage really helps with housebreaking.
