Here's a scenario that happened to me a few years back in a major foreign city. I was in a study-abroad program. Knowing what I know now, I've been trying to figure out what I would've done differently. What would you have done?
I had been hanging out with some friends, and didn't leave until around 0100. My host parents' apartment was in a side-street directly off the city's main avenue. Even at this hour there was traffic on the main street, but my street was poorly lit and basically deserted.
When I was about half-way between the main street and my apartment, I saw two men approaching me from about 30 yards. It seemed strange to me, but I continued on. At this point, what would have been the best course of action? I felt that turning around would have encouraged them to move more quickly, as would have going to the other side of the street. Continuing on didn't seem like a great idea, but it's what I did.
When we got near, the one on my left asked me what time it was. I got out my watch (I know! ), at which point he grabbed my arm and told me he wanted my watch. I tried to pull back, but his buddy was blocking me on my right, and then the first guy got out what looked like a knife. Then the second guy sprayed me with pepper spray. Fortunately, his movement to spray me left enough of an opening I was able to break contact and run. A man got out of a taxi near us and stopped them, allowing me to reach my apartment.
I should mention that I was entirely unarmed except for a long-shafted key, and untrained in SD at that time. I wasn't confident that, if I tried to counter-attack, I would have been successful.
Thoughts? Comments? Similar experiences?
I used to work for an older lady who was mugged in broad daylight in St. Petersburg.
First mistake if it looks funk it is funkyIt seemed strange to me, but I continued on.The interview phase. If I don't know you I don't allow you to approach or engage me. look them dead in the eye and say STOP! DO NOT APPROACH ME. If they continue to approach they just moved up the food chain from potential target to target. If you can't carry a gun have pepper sprayWhen we got near, the one on my left asked me what time it was.
This is a really difficult situation.
First off, it is two on one, so even if trained in self defense, unless you are pretty good you might not prevail. Going against a knife is a guarantee of getting cut.
Second, you are in a foreign place. Even an SD fist fight, or a strong shove, might land you in a most unpleasant "legal" system with the deck stacked against you. You might have few rights if any at all. I know of places where home owners can't even punch a home intruder, only attempt to retreat or stand silently while their stuff is taken and the police take their time arriving. Of course in this place I know about, home invasions are the sport of teens.
Glad it worked out for you.
Welcome to the forum!
We have foreign countries with muggers all over the United States of America.
They are NY, NJ, MD, DC, and also referred to by the name of 'university', 'college', 'K-12' as well as 'gun free zone'.
Generally they all fall under a UN classification like type known as 'N.P.E.', which stands for Non Permissive Environment.
Other have asked the exact same question in the past and below is an advisory I've offered that you well could have applied to your own situation as a method of defense.

Bring one with you as among your carry on luggage and even use it to 'lock' something up or as one item to another as one might otherwise apply a zip tie.
At first glance these are very much innocuous looking and not thought of as be having potential for being weaponized.

P.S. - The rules of the street apply in any and every country and location.
0100 is far too late to be walking any street never mind as an tourist in a foreign country/environment.
You wouldn't allow yourself to over stay as to 1AM and wind up having to walk through the south side of Chicago or Baltimore City or DC or Oakland.
Do not think to do same as anywhere else. Criminals are criminals, everywhere. And they all prefer cover of darkness no matter what language they speak.
"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy

Always travel in groups, the bigger the better. Use the buddy system. Never travel alone. I am retired Navy and spent alot of time in different countries and this is what we always preached. Most criminals use this same system. Predators are cowards and will not attack if they think they will lose. If criminal does not win he is at risk of a beating, jail or even death. He knows this.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
One problem with foreign countries if you defend yourself from an attack you can end up being charged with a crime,look at englands BS laws,There is nothing outside the continental US I find intriguing enough to go visit,we have more natural wonders here than I could see in a lifetime
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Agreed Duk.
Much of the world, including areas of the US too, are just that way.
Which means as a world citizen one has to be prepared to make hard choices, before and after contact with wolves.
Standing around post incident survival to detail the event to the local po-po might not be the wisest play, even as one may have been by fact the victim.
This is not specific to foreign country travel.

"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
I do a lot of travel out of the US. . But the best bet is to use your head and apply common knowledge and you will be fine. Try not to get into a situation in a different country because the laws can be very different and you are a guest so just be sure to know get to know some of the SD laws before you go if you think something mite happen. But 2on1 there was not much you could do other then turn around and say hey back off. Most the time people like that look for easy targets and if you show that you are going to fight they probly wont mess with you
the way to be safe is never to be secure.

Now Your P Cs Can Keep Each Other Up To Date
If you work on more than one computer, keeping tabs on computer files can be hectic. Perhaps you've got multiple copies of an important client list on your office computer, home PC, and the laptop you use while on the road. But is the version on the laptop more recent than the copy at home? FileRunner, a new program from MBS Technologies Inc. in Arcadia, Calif., can put those files in sync.
The software comes on two floppy disks that you carry around as you switch from machine to machine. When run, the program automatically compares the time-stamps on its copies of the files you have selected with those on each machine's hard disk. Then, if its version is the older one, it updates its floppy with the latest version. If its version is newer, it updates the copy on the hard disk. Data-compression techniques help FileRunner cram more than the usual amount of information onto its floppies. The $99.95 program also looks for computer viruses and compensates for changes in time zones.

By Paul Gardner
Trying to extract meaning from this past weekend's clash between the USA and Spain seems to me an endeavor both hopeless and fruitless.
For this was an unreal occasion, a game that came straight from the pages of "Alice in Wonderland." A sort of caucus race like the one set up by the Dodo -- an event of which no one was certain of the rules, which ended arbitrarily, and which failed to produce a winner -- an unsatisfactory state of affairs that the Dodo resolved by declaring "Everybody has won." Continuing with his own brand of Dodoid logic, the Dodo then added "... and all must have prizes."
Which is one way of making everyone happy. We did get a clear winner on Saturday, of course -- Spain. Meaning that the USA was the loser, but that was not so clear.
Bob Bradley's post-game press conferences -- I mean the ones after his team has lost -- are already famous for their surreal atmosphere, as Bradley conjures up tales of a game that never was, a defeat that was really, if only we could look at it correctly, really some sort of victory.
But this time ... well, Bradley was fully justified in adopting that approach. What the hell else was the guy supposed to do? Just three days before an absolutely key game against Canada in the Gold Cup, he finds himself called on to put a competitive team on the field ... against the world champions!
OK, you can make the argument that Bradley played this game backward, that he used in the second half the lineup that he should have used in the first half, but I'm not convinced that would have greatly altered how things played out. Playing games backward, anyway, is a pretty Alice-in-Wonderlandish sort of approach which, in retrospect, seems appropriate for the occasion.
The end result for the USA was a mighty drubbing. Or was it?
With Bradley more or less obliged to field a below-strength, hastily prepared team, a romp for Spain was always the most likely result. The USA, it's true, did not do themselves any favors in the first half with a performance that at times bordered on the chaotic.
Well, so what? How could it have been otherwise? For once, Bradley's post-game comments -- his usual comments -- about learning from "these games" seemed to me appropriate, as good a way as any of looking at a game that defied both soccer sense and common sense.
For instance: "We know there are things that we can take from this game that will not only help us during the next three weeks [i.e. during the Gold Cup] but help us as we keep trying to move forward." That's the sort of remark that, after a tournament-ending defeat, is merely a feeble attempt to create a rainbow where nothing but storm clouds are to be seen. But here, in Wonderland, it was totally reasonable. Even a clunking platitude like "It's never easy when you're behind 3-0 at halftime" comes over as a helpful explanatory comment.
In short, however strange, even bizarre, Bradley's team selection and tactics may have appeared, they were totally justified by the unreality of a game to which the normal logic of soccer (I'm assuming there is such a thing -- at least, I'm pretty sure there is in coaching terms) could not be applied.
At the end of a lovely sunny afternoon, some 64,000 fans had seen a splendid caucus-race of a game in which everyone had won, and everyone should get a prize. Blaming Bradley and his players for an embarrassing show makes no sense in the world of Wonderland, where the fantasy of today's virtual exhibition game had to be weighed against the looming reality of tomorrow's Gold Cup.
To add to the perversity of the happenings, on Saturday the great absentee for the U.S. was its greatest fantasist, its only fantasist, Landon Donovan. But that, too, was right -- there is no place for a fantasist in a fantasy world, which merely reduces him to a commonplace. Donovan's magic sparkles only against a background of reality, and the USA is always a different team when Donovan plays.
Today, the USA steps out of Wonderland, back into real time. What happened against Spain -- really, what Spain did to the USA -- is hardly relevant here, just as analyzing the performances of the U.S. players in Saturday's game gets us nowhere. What happened then will have little impact on how the U.S. -- with a full team -- plays a real game against Canada.
I am not saying that the USA will automatically become a much better team, and that they will therefore handily beat Canada -- which is assuredly a much less formidable opponent than Spain. But the Canada game will put everyone's feet back on the ground, when the positives and the negatives of the U.S. performance can be sensibly assessed.
Even so, I think it is fair to take a swipe at one American player, goalkeeper Tim Howard, because goalkeepers spend most of their time in their own particular Wonderland, no matter what sort of game is being played.
Wearing the captain's armband, Howard needed a mere three minutes to shatter the make-believe atmosphere -- the only one that was ever going to make sense of this occasion -- when he raced some 25 yards out of his goal to lambast left back Eric Lichaj for not doing whatever it was that Howard wanted done.
How goalkeepers love playing this role of schoolyard bully. The myth that goalkeepers always know best, that they see everything, that they are therefore entitled to tell everyone else how to play (in short, that they can pretend they know how to play soccer, when in fact they don't, are not required to) has reached absurd -- well, Wonderlandish -- proportions.
Howard's obnoxious grand-standing antics are unlikely to have done much for Lichaj's confidence. Of course, that was not their purpose, which had much more to do with making it clear that whatever was going wrong, it wasn't Howard's fault.
Equal time should have demanded a blast of criticism from his defenders after Howard had watched Alvaro Negredo's chip shot sail over his head and hit the bar, and then scrambled ineffectively for the rebound, until he was bailed out by ... yes, Lichaj. But goalkeepers always escape criticism.
That's probably the way it should be. Provided the goalkeepers, in turn, cut out their purple-faced fuming and raging. We've seen more than enough of berserk goalkeepers to nurse the strongest of suspicions that they ham it up for the television cameras.
And so to the Gold Cup, in which Howard's goalkeeping, the part of his act that he does really well, is likely to prove a key factor -- as superior goalkeeping always has been in the USA's Concacaf games.

Tanda Zap is my first real experience with light therapy and I have to say that so far I'm impressed. The Tanda Zap is a bit different than other at home LED therapies. First, it is a targeted spot treatment. Second, it isn't only light. It also incorporates heat and sonic vibration. I guess to shake the pimple out of your skin?
The hand held device is about the size of a C battery, but longer. Why is this my point of reference? Because every baby item in my house runs on C batteries. We should all buy stock in Duracell. Anyways, it is pretty small and lightweight. At one end there are little plastic bumps, and this is where the light comes out of. When I turn it on there is a very light vibration, though it isn't very obvious. The end lights up blue, and after about a minute it is faintly warm. The entire treatment lasts about 2 minutes and should be performed about 2-3 times a day on affected areas.
I was going to do a little info on how the blue light works. But then I found that over at Future Derm you can read Nicki's little summary as she's already done a more scientific sounding overview than I would have done. The bottom line is the blue light affect P. Acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne, and after a little while the bacteria basically self implodes. The light should work for pretty much any type of acne except for cystic, which is not recommended as it may be extra painful.
The light bulb works for about 10,000 uses, but once it is used up you'll need a new Tanda Zap. Considering it only costs $50, I think this is less expensive per use than any of the over the counter acne spot treatments.
So, after all of that, does this little gizmo actually work??? I think it does. Now that I only have sporadic outbreaks, I've been in the market for a spot treatment that works and doesn't dry out the surrounding skin. The Tanda Zap is my answer. I've had a few blemishes over the last several weeks, and they have all resolved in less than 12 hours after being exposed to the Tanda Zap once or twice. Seriously. For realz. The pimple is completely gone, and all I did was hold this little blue light over it for a few minutes.
I'm telling all of my friends to get one.

Avalanche trade star Ryan Smyth to L.A. - The Denver Post
He's missed so much time with injuries, that I am not sure he's worth whatever they are thinking he is. If healthy he's a signification addition, otherwise I'm not sure.
Question is that LA gave away their best D man and Preissing is no slouch either. Good trade for Avs for sure.
Smyth would be awesome on the Wings, I think Homer is losing some of his game in front of the crease.

I decided to do a SYOT, so you guys submit the tributes to me using my tribute form on the next page and they will be used in the games. It will not be first come first served and there will be a sponsoring system as well.
Enjoy the announcement!
The third quarter quell – Fairytales
All around the nation of Panem people were glued to their screens, capitol and district people alike, all awaiting the announcement of the 3rd quarter quell. Katniss Everdeen and her fiancée Peeta Mellark sat patiently, wondering what surprise twist awaited the tributes they would mentor.
Suddenly the screens burst into life. President Snow began to speak, reminding the districts of the dark days, from which the hunger games evolved. When the games were first created, it was dictated that every twenty-five years, on the anniversary of the rebellion, the games would be changed slightly. A glorified version of the games to make fresh the memory and suffering of the dark days. A quarter quell.
President snow took in a breath and began to speak
"On the twenty-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote upon the tributes who would represent them"
He paused, letting the audience process his words before moving on
"On the fiftieth anniversary, as a reminder that two rebels died for each Capitol citizen, every district was required to send in twice as many tributes"
Snow looked out among the sea of colours and saw the excitement building up as they all prepared for the big announcement.
"And now we honour our third Quarter Quell" Snow said as the little girl hurried up to him with the plain wooden box. Snow lifted the lid to reveal rows of neatly placed envelopes, yellow with old age. President Snow carefully picked out the envelope that was clearly marked with 75, pausing to blow the dust off it. He gently peeled open the ancient envelope, squinting at the tiny writing before clearing his throat and reading out the little card.
"On the seventy Fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that age is irrelevant when it comes to the rebellion and that no one is immune, every child aged 4 to 19 will be eligible for reaping"
All around the magnificent country of Panem gasps were heard. In the districts there were gasps of horror and sorrow, mothers clung to their young and those who thought they had faced their last reaping where confronted with the chance of going into the games. In the Capitol there were gasps of joy and excitement, sure they were children, but they were district children so it really didn't matter at all. Everyone in the capitol chatted happily as they were sure these games were going to be the best yet.
President Snow just smiled, the horrifying scent of blood and roses emitting from him and up into the sky of Panem.
He was going to enjoy these games.
The Tribute form is on the next page, only submit via PM or else they will be ignored.

Crocheted doll in black and whitecomments (0) August 31st, 2011 in gallery
Monique is a special girl. She loves night just as much as she loves day and she could never decide whether she loves white more than black. This is why she simply adores everything in this color combination: pandas, zebras and penguins, vanilla ice-cream with chocolate, chess, crossword puzzles and black & white TV. She enjoys playing the piano and she even considered hanging a pirate flag in her room.
This handmade art doll is approximately 15'' (38 cm) tall and is made of nearly 5000 stitches. Her dress is made out of reused fabric which used to be trousers. There is a small flower on her cap, which is also made of the same labyrinth fabric.
This OOAK unique art doll is a perfect handmade gift for a child, adult or collector and of course for all black and white lovers.

Steelers notebook: Wallace ready to move on
Mike Wallace has put together some impressive numbers during his career. But his career-high four drops against the Bengals nearly got into his head.
Wallace is convinced he remedied the situation in preparing to face the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Heinz Field.
"I'm upset it happened, but you can't dwell on it too much because it'll roll over to the next game," Wallace said. "I'm good about it now because I caught everything in practice this week to get it off my back."
Wallace has gone back to the basics. He spent the week polishing his routes and using his eyes to the watch the ball in before tucking it away. He challenged cornerbacks Ike Taylor and Keenan Lewis to help sharpen his focus.
Still, he's perplexed about his uninspired performance against the Bengals.
"I don't know what happened," he said. "It was kind of a snowball effect. I took my eyes off the first one, and I had hard time shaking it off."
'New' Redskins
Steelers safety Ryan Clark will hardly recognize the Redskins: Only two players — tight end Chris Cooley and receiver Santana Moss — remain on the Washington roster since he left after the 2005 season.
"They were the only two. It's been a long time," Clark said. "It would be cool to see those guys. It's not the same team though as when I left. This is the Steelers versus the new Redskins. It's going to be a challenge."
The Steelers won, 23-6, in the teams' last meeting in 2008. Clark sat out that game with an injured shoulder. He'll get his chance to face down Moss, a deep threat for rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.
"When I was there, (Moss) was the guy," Clark said. "He was our No. 1 option. He was in the prime of his career."

When little Hans dies of the croup, his mother uses all her scant wealth to ensure him a proper burial. She spins the thread for his shroud and has a beautiful little coffin made. But while she is out, the rats gnaw at little Hans's leather slippers and the dead child has nothing for his feet.
Hans' mother makes him a pair of shoes from her last loaf of bread. But after the child is buried, the ghostly child reappears night after night weeping. The bread shoes are preventing him from entering heaven. But the local priest comes up with a plan.

Posted Saturday February 2, 2013 4:51 PM GMT
Responding to his critics, Justin Bieber took to his Twitter page on Saturday (February 2) to clear up rumors of alleged drug use.
The "Beauty and the Beat" crooner has been the subject of gossip about using marijuana and drinking bottles of codeine cough syrup by TMZ.
Getting out his side of the story Biebs tweeted, "Some of these rumors about me are getting a little out of control now. Dont believe the bs."
"Gonna focus on the positive," he added. "I understand that rumors come with the territory but I'm gonna stay me."

- - road salt, paws??? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/208337-road-salt-paws.html)
road salt, paws???
So we got a little bit of snow last night and our city OVERLOADED the streets with road salt. So Zoey and I are walking and we need to cross the road over a larger path of salt. We get over to the grass are and Zoey starts to limp :( Clearly her paws were burning and now I can't take her for a walk since it's snow/ice on the sidewalk and salt on the street..... anyone have this problem and if so, whats your remedy?
p.s. When we got to the snowy part, we stopped and I checked her paw, she walked fine after that until we crossed the road and same thing happened. When we got home, I washed all 4 paws really good before I left for work.
I wonder if mushers secret would help to at least some degree. I work with magnesium, potassium, and calcium chloride (deice) and it does a number on my hands. If I have a scratch that I might otherwise be unaware of, I'll know it quickly when any of these make contact.
Doggy booties!
I use to live in a busy downtown sector in a large city, they used a lot of salt on the roads and sidewalks, the only effective way I could protect my poor baby's paws was to put dog booties on her, she didnt like them at first, but she got use to them and im sure she thanked me for doing so!
Bag Balm it comes in a green, red, and white can and smells very strong. It works magic on paws; we smear it on the pads and in the creases, go on a walk, and no burns. My Mum introduced it to me as a kid; it was my job to "smear the paws" before a walk. I haven't seen it in any store, but you can find it online. One tin lasts for a while. In a pinch, I'll use Vasaline, but every dog I've ever used it on likes to lick the Vasaline off, but will ignore the Balm like the plague.
I use Bag Balm several times a week on Rocket's paws, since he runs a lot of road mileage with me. He loves getting his nails dremmeled and his pads Bag Balmed I swear!
Thanks! I think Zoey would hate the booties, I will try the bag balm though.
We went for a lovely walk today in 5 degree weather not including the wind chill and stayed on the sidewalk/grass and she was fine. Looks like I wont be jogging anytime soon.

text: The wedges he is talking about are steel splitting wedges, made for splitting fire wood. Another idea is to take the log with you. If the golf course has a tractor with a front end loader or boom pole (and it is big enough to handle the size of the tree trunk) load it on a trailer and take it home. I use an old bed sheet and duct tape to cover over the holes in the tree.

Gallery: the cool and strange at Germany's huge Musikmesse show
It hits you at some point. It could be that you find yourself wandering rows upon rows of accordion exhibitors. Or maybe it's weaving to avoid parades of the 100,000-odd German schoolchildren who come to look at the exhibits. Or maybe it's seeing a room the size of an airport full of nothing but strange laser and light products for clubs. But Musikmesse remains something exceptional.
We got our hands on Pioneer's new SP-16 sampler
Pioneer revealed its Toraiz SP-16 hardware sampler earlier this week, along with the news that analog filters from Dave Smith were baked in. But beyond that, online specs were a bit vague. So we've just gotten to meet up with Pioneer (and Dave) and get close to a prototype unit. Firmware isn't done yet, but we got to learn a lot more – and there's a lot to like.
In photos, the synth nerd extravaganza Superbooth
It's genuinely hard to describe the Superbooth in words. The synthesizer lovefest dreamt up by Andreas Schneider and team in Berlin was a collision between a festival and a trade show, scattered in impromptu fashion through the chambers of the former East Germany radio facility. Visitors wandered from knob-twiddling displays into quadraphonic concerts, from combined performance-demos by modular makers and artists to encounters with legendary synth pioneers over a queue for beer. And the whole week was an exercise in overabundance. Far from the linear experience of a convention floor, the maze of studios and halls at the Funkhaus venue …
OK Go get their own KORG volca sample
Okay, OK Go fans – now there's synth hardware as quirky and charming as the band's Internet-viral synth-pop. We got our hands on a very limited edition KORG volca sample made especially for OK Go. This is the battery-powered sample unit with grungy digital sound playback and loads of knobs for manipulating sound, plus the usual touch strip step sequencer for making patterns. It's fun to play, a unique collectors' item even if you just want an extra sample playback instrument around. And the built-in samples can be terrific, as you can hear in our playlist.
Build a Classic Synth, Reissued: Hands-on with KORG's MS-20 Kit [Gallery]
Call it the MS-20 "Biggie." A year after remaking their classic 1978 MS-20 synthesizer in a hugely-popular "mini" version, KORG surprised everyone by unveiling a second reissue this year, the limited-edition MS-20 Kit. Its innards are entirely identical to the MS-20 mini; component-by-component, the sound circuitry is the same. And since the MS-20 was a fairly convincing replica of the original, inaccurate mostly in that it can't reproduce the aged components we're now used to, that's a good start. Now I've had the experience of assembling and playing the kit, following up our debut with the mini last year, and …

And who would have thought a filter and a Theremin would be news? Well, these are drool-worthy, nonetheless. Waldorf's mystery knob is the filter control from a big filter in a box.

Mountain Oasis, indeed. Asheville, North Carolina, that land of impassioned musicians and Moog manufacture, is unusually blessed in musical riches, especially of the electrified variety. And where once Moog gathered informal performances from synth fans, a recent split in festivals has spawned not one but two blockbuster events, turning this southeastern US hamlet into a kind of mecca for musicians of all stripes. These multiply rather than dividing the events. So, now there's Moogfest, which this year will happen in spring. And then there's Mountain Oasis, which took place last month. Both are overflowing with spectacular headliners, in the form …

George Zimmerman seeks hearing to dismiss murder charges
The neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing an unarmed black teen in Florida will seek a hearing to dismiss the charges against him based on the state's "stand your ground" law.
George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said on his website that the evidence shows that Zimmerman, 28, shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
O'Mara likened the hearing to a "mini-trial" with testimony by experts and other witnesses.
Under the stand-your-ground law, a defendant who claims self-defense is entitled to a hearing to determine whether he was in fear for his life. If he was, the law says he had the right to use lethal force and the charges are dropped.
The decision will be made by Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester.
"This is a significant issue," says Michelle Jacobs, a defense attorney and law professor at the University of Florida. The hearing, she says, will decide whether the case goes forward to trial.
Zimmerman and Trayvon, 17, got into a fight Feb. 26 at a gated complex of townhouses in Sanford. When it was over, Trayvon had been shot dead.
Zimmerman says he was in fear for his life when Trayvon slammed his head into the concrete. The prosecution says Zimmerman followed Trayvon and confronted him for no reason other than that he was a black teen in a hoodie.
Florida is one of at least 21 states with some version of the law that says a person does not have to retreat in the face of a threat and can use deadly force if they fear death or serious harm.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon's family, issued a statement saying, "A grown man cannot profile and pursue an unarmed child, shoot him in the heart and then claim stand-your-ground. … There is only one version of this story that represents that Zimmerman was attacked by Trayvon Martin, and that's Zimmerman's self-serving version."
Elizabeth Megale, a Savannah Law School professor who has studied Florida's stand-your-ground law, says it doesn't matter whether Zimmerman was the aggressor or when his fear was triggered.
"Most people don't understand, she says, that the law is broadly written. Zimmerman's broken nose and lacerations on his skull are evidence that he would have been in fear, she says.
No hearing has been scheduled.
The office of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey released more documents in the case Thursday, including a state police report that showed Trayvon's blood was on a bag of Skittles candy in his pocket.
The office also inadvertently released Zimmerman's school records, which are private under federal law. The records show Zimmerman was a below-average student at Seminole State College of Florida who was on academic probation after failing a science class.

3400 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 89109
Location: Strip
Type: Aquarium / Zoo, Family Friendly
Enjoy admission to an attraction that defines wild Vegas in a whole new way -- The Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Las Vegas.
Opened in 1990, Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is the dream of legendary magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, better known to millions as Siegfried & Roy. For years the duo has worked to help save endangered animals, primarily white tigers and lions.
The Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Las Vegas showcases the duo's dedication to animals with two areas - the Dolphin Habitat and the Secret Garden. Surrounded by palm trees, lush foliage and 2.5 million gallons of water, the Dolphin Habitat is a research facility designed to educate people about these amazing creatures. And while the dolphins don't perform, visitors can occasionally catch the animals engaging in natural play. Guests can also enjoy an underwater viewing area, shaded seating, a café and a gift shop filled with memorabilia including plush dolphin toys and even dolphin-shaped water guns.
Steps away from the Dolphin Habitat, guests can enter the wonderful, secluded world of the Secret Garden. The attraction displays six different showcases of lions, tigers and leopards in a lush tropical environment. As you meander through the habitat, you'll notice all the greenery, jungle-themed music and even a towering wildcat figure made from plants. Fun facts about the animals are written on plaques spread throughout the facility. Some of the cats even have built-in waterfalls in their resting areas.
The Secret Garden stands out from other animal habitats because it features black and white striped tigers as well as pure white ones. Other endangered animals at the facility include leopards, a snow leopard and a black panther.
If you want to take some of the wildlife back home with you, the gift shop at the Secret Garden offers souvenirs.

There's never much of an offseason for campaigns. The city elections are finally behind us, and believe it or not we're six weeks out from the start of early voting for the 2014 primary elections in Texas. I was busy over the holidays getting started with interviews for various contested primaries, and while I don't know how many I'll wind up doing when all is said and done, there are some races that I definitely plan to target. None are bigger or more closely connected to me than the primary in my Senate district, SD15, which pits longtime Sen. SoundCloud and uploaded it there. Here's the interview:
Greg had pointed me to SoundCloud after the last web-based audio player I used went extinct, but this is the first time I've tried it. Let me know what you think, if you like this better than what I'd been doing I'll keep using it. If not, then I'll just save it for future extra-long interviews.
You can see all of my interviews as well as finance reports and other information on candidates on my 2014 Election page.

You've found some resources for your assignment, but are they appropriate for your research? It's easy to find articles in databases and websites on the Internet, but are they reliable?
With so much information available, both print and online, researchers need to develop skills in evaluating the resources they locate. For example, Val Greenwood's The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy was first published in 1973. Would you count on it for websites and online search strategies? Arthur Butz's The Hoax of the Twentieth Century is the author's "case against the presumed extermination of European Jewry." Do you think this is a solidly researched work of historical accuracy? You should always examine your books, articles, and websites to determine whether they are reliable and appropriate for your research needs.
The CRAAP Test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) was created by Sarah Blakeslee of the Meriam Library at California State University, Chico, and "is a list of questions to help you evaluate the information you find." The questions in the tabbed sections above have been reprinted or adapted from this original set of evaluation criteria and are used by permission of the Meriam Library.

Tennessee Head Coach
Cuonzo Martin
Opening Statement:
"It was a good team win tonight. I thought the guys did a good job, probably the best game I've seen our guys play all season on both ends of the floor for two halves. I thought the effort was there. I thought the energy was there. I thought the enthusiasm from the bench was there. It was a really good effort. Thirty-two points averaged in the last three games by our bench. I think they had 50 tonight, which is a major step, especially when you shoot at a good clip, a good percentage.
"I thought Yemi (Makanjuola) had a great game. I mean, outside the points, he did a good job rebounding the basketball. He's really focused in practice on rebounding with two hands, being aggressive. I thought he did that. He's really improved his body balance and has spent a lot of time with the strength coach. And you can see that. I thought he did a great job with that.
"The key for us was Trae (Golden) getting off to a good start. When Trae's aggressive and assertive and taking the ball off the bounce, I think we're a good team. He makes us go in that sense when he's aggressive and assertive. He played well on both ends of the floor.
We shot the ball well as a team. Once again, a really good team effort."
On if Makanjuola's 18-point performance was surprising:
"I'm not surprised. I knew eventually it would come at some point, maybe next year. He puts the work into practice. Seeing the past couple weeks, he's really asserted himself. He's a defender and rebounder first, but he's really improved his offense. He knows he's strengths and his weaknesses. Even that shot he shot at the elbow, that's a shot he can make in practice. We weren't surprised as a staff because he can really make shots and he's a good free throw shooter, so it's not necessarily a surprise."
On teammates' support of Makanjuola from the bench:
"I just think you're happy for a guy who puts the work in and doesn't complain and puts his head down and works every day and doesn't make excuses. He cares about his teammates and he's a total team player. I think that's why they're happy, more than anything."
On Makanjuola getting offensive rebounds and putbacks:
"That's his thing. He rebounds the basketball. I think the thing that's most impressive about him at this point is his body balance and being able to control and get those rebounds and keep the ball high."
On if winning in their most dominating fashion this season will help moving into 2012:
"You see it in practice. The one things the guys have done, whether you have four straight losses, the guys have come back to work in practice and put forth an effort. Those guys are really making progress, just focusing on getting better every day, not necessarily looking at the wins and losses but trying to get better every day."
Freshman Center Yemi Makanjuola
(Opening thoughts on his big performance in the second half):
"I just want to thank my teammates for feeding me and keeping me going."
(On if he is getting more comfortable with the game):
"I watched some of my high school tape and I feel like I wasn't playing as hard and I feel like I'm executing better now."
(On wanting the ball in the second half):
"I'm normally not as effective on offense posting up, I normally just try to get in position to get rebounds and make plays off of missed shots and mistakes."
(On his rebounding leading to points):
"That's something I've been working on and something my coaches have been helping me a lot with."
Junior Guard Skylar McBee
(On Yemi Makanjuola scoring off offensive rebounds):
"Can those count as assists? Yemi is such a big body and he gets in there and battles. In practice it's so hard to push him out and he does and really good job of playing really physical."
(On how valuable it was to have a wide margin of victory):
"It was nice to get a big win, and hopefully we keep doing that. The schedule only gets togher from here, so we're just going to try and get better every day. Hopefully, the wins will take care of themselves.
(On his role as a scorer in the first half off the bench):
"Whatever I have to do to come in and help our team, and give us the best chance to win, that's what I'm going to do. Some nights, that may be taking more shots, and some nights it may be just playing good defense. Whatever that role is, I'm going to come in and do it to the best of my abilities and put us in the best position to win."
Senior forward Renaldo Woolridge
On tonight's win
This was definitely a confidence boost. We have been working hard, got the third game at home in the winning streak, and it feels good. We just have to keep building from here and keep getting better.
On his role on the team
I want to continue to help on the inside and on the wing. I feel more confident in my scoring. I just need to do what coach wants me to do that is be more aggressive in rebounding and help be a spark plug off the bench.
On freshman forward Yemi Makanjuola's performance
Yemi has been getting after it in practice so I know he is capable of going out there and doing that. I am proud of him.
Sophomore guard Trae Golden
On freshman forward Yemi Makanjuola's performance
I have never seen anything like that before. Yemi played great and to have a double-double in 13 minutes is amazing. It was a great game for him. You can see his work in practice carrying over into the games.
On tonight's game
We need to play well regardless of the outcome on defense and offense. We need to execute, and we did that tonight. The outcome was good for us. We just need keep improving and get on top of our game.
On his 10 point, 5 assist effort tonight
Coach Martin wants me to keep attacking so I was taking the ball to the goal. I just try to push the ball and get the ball to open guys. My role is to get everybody else the ball.
(On Tennessee's hot shooting)
"Yeah, they shot the ball extremely well. We tried to mix it up on them - a little man, a little zone, a little trapping. But they handled it really well and they got going."
(On Tennessee's Yemi Makanjuola)
"The guy coming off the bench killed us; we did not expect that. We knew he was strong and big and could score around the rim, but we were hoping to keep him out of the paint. He did a heck of a job and it really hurt us."
(On Mike Groselle's play)
"He's played well every game. He's a tough kid, he works hard, he's not the most athletic or gifted, but he really makes up for it with effort. We do the best job we can to get him the ball as much as we can. And he made some good decisions tonight when he couldn't score, so I was proud of him about that."

(4/2/2013) (New Haven, CT)- On Tuesday, New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., Police Chief Dean Esserman and Superintendent Reginald Mayo all acknowledged the outstanding leadership at the Connecticut General Assembly that produced a bill that, if enacted, will make the City�s schools, streets and neighborhoods safer.
Of the proposed legislation, Mayor DeStefano said, �This bipartisan bill is a great piece of legislation that is thoughtful and thorough. Its provisions address the many types of gun violence. I am proud to stand with the leadership of the House and Senate on this groundbreaking legislation.�
Mayor DeStefano has explained that gun violence can be generally separated into three categories. The first and far most common is the type that New Haven experiences: gang and drug related shootings. Second, there�s armed robberies and domestic violence; third are the mass shootings like Newtown.
�All types of gun violence are tragic and need to be addressed. However, shootings here in New Haven tend be committed with hand guns that do not carry a lot of ammunition; so an assault weapon ban would not necessarily help the City reduce its gun violence,� said Mayor DeStefano, noting that �the proposed state legislation includes provisions that will help prevent mass shootings like the tragedy in Newtown as well as the violence in our city.�
The Mayor particularly acknowledged the proposed state legislation for certain provisions including its call for required universal background checks; a ban on the sale of large capacity magazines; the requirement for individuals to apply for certification in order to purchase ammunition; establishing the illegal possession of ammunition as a criminal offense; banning the sale of armor piercing ammunition and the creation of the Dangerous Weapons Registry.
The Dangerous Weapons Registry, the first in the nation, will require people who have been convicted of weapons offenses to register and check in with law enforcement at regular intervals. The registry will not be available to the public, only to law enforcement.
�The Dangerous Weapons Registry will provide the Police Department with a tool to monitor those people who are caught possessing or using unregistered guns and cause havoc in New Haven. The City will be safer because of it,� noted New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman.
The bill requires that certain mental health services be considered urgent care and reauthorizes the School Security Infrastructure competitive grant program that will reimburse municipalities for upgrades to school security infrastructure.
"I applaud the state Legislature for coming together around a bill that will help families get access to critical mental health services, make our schools safer and ultimately reduce gun violence. In this post-Newtown world, Connecticut is taking a firm stand against gun violence. And in our cities where we face these issues every day, this legislation will make a difference," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Reginald Mayo.

There has been a great deal of discussion about the cloud and its benefits over the last few years, especially in relation to businesses. For example, it promises to offer a shared pool of resources that is quick and easy to deploy, and its elasticity allows it to be scaled up or down depending on business requirements. It also removes the necessity for capital expenditure on infrastructure and software, allowing businesses to pay only for what they use.
These benefits can also be applied to the telecommunications industry, but so far the mobile operators have been discussing these benefits in terms of selling cloud services, in the shape of applications and data storage. What isn't being discussed is that mobile operators can actually take advantage of the cloud to deliver key telecommunication services – so how can operators make best use of the cloud for their own benefit?
Mobile operators who are looking to take advantage of cloud computing need to implement what we at OpenCloud call Cloud for Telecoms (C4T), a cloud-based technology platform that can deliver telecommunication service applications that constitute the very fabric of the mobile network. These applications are responsible for controlling, and guaranteeing the delivery of telecommunications services, and essentially constitute the "brain of the network". They locate subscribers, implement subscriber preferences and profiles, enable subscribers to make voice calls, send SMS messages, ensure the correct service use in relation to their account balance, perform intelligent routing of calls and regulate the quality and bandwidth of a connection to implement mobile roaming.
However, instead of maintaining legacy equipment and installing new hardware and software solutions – particularly as new 4G networks are introduced – to underpin network services and applications, the operators can host the "brain of the network" in one centralised location: the C4T.
C4T can offer operators many of the general benefits that the cloud provides businesses, as well as more specific benefits relating to telecoms and mobility. The scalability and elasticity of C4T provides operators with a more cost-effective approach to service delivery, allowing them to scale up to meet peaks in demand and service adoption when required.
This is particularly important for individual operators, who can more easily extend into other areas by adding local connectivity in each region and using the centralised "brain" for all regions, rather than duplicating systems across disparate sites. Furthermore, the enormous flexibility and economies of scale that C4T provides enables operator groups to also deliver, and manage, services across all members of the group in many areas through the centralised "brain". By having a shared pool of resources to manage the application environment, operators can achieve a truly global consistent brand and approach, or organise services to suit specific market requirements.
4G networks will soon be up and running in Europe, and the C4T offers operators the chance to prepare for and manage this transition. C4T is the perfect environment for the new "brain of the network", which needs to utilise the benefits of cloud elasticity and scalability. This is particularly pertinent in regards to Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE), a next-generation voice service that will be available to 4G subscribers.
At present there is no consensus on the timescale for the implementation and take-up of VoLTE, meaning operators will need to remain flexible and have a system in place to rapidly deploy and scale VoLTE once the key components are in place.
In addition, the elasticity and scalability of C4T allows subscribers to enjoy a better deal from the operators, who can meet their service demands more cost effectively. The end-user will also reap the benefits of the move to adopt the C4T model because of the variety of services and applications that C4T will deliver, provided it is based on open standards.
An open C4T liberates operators from any dependency on specific vendor solutions, within the network or the datacentre, allowing them to access innovation from a broader developer community. This will allow teams of in-house developers from across the entire organisation – and third party developers – to collaborate and develop innovative services and applications. This collective will be able to apply their specialist knowledge to developing mainstream applications with mass market appeal and niche applications. The portfolio of services that mobile operators provide will change as a result, driving competition and differentiation in the marketplace.
There are considerations to cloud infrastructure that need to be made before the C4T can be implemented. Operators must decide whether to host their telecommunication applications in a private or public cloud. A public cloud can be appealing because it requires no capital investment and can offer flexibility and affordability because of its pay-as-you-go structure.
Yet, there are concerns with hosting a C4T in a public cloud. There is a level of expectation from subscribers based on set service level agreements, which operators must meet, especially on availability, latency and security. By taking the public cloud approach, the operator is reliant on the provider to guarantee reliability. They will also be dependent on the best that the internet can provide. If any outages were to occur, such as those recently experienced by BlackBerry, it could cause serious damage to the operator's reputation.
However, most operators already have their own private cloud server farm for the likes of billing and call records. By hosting the C4T in their private cloud, using its own carrier-grade infrastructure, operators can continue to deliver services of the level of quality, and reliability, associated with a mobile operator brand.
Operators have begun offering cloud services to their customers, but they are yet to take full advantage of the opportunity that the cloud can provide for the operators themselves. The telecommunication applications, which make up the brain of the network, are perfectly suited to sit in the operators own private cloud. By adopting an open C4T model, operators will become more agile allowing them to adapt, and respond, efficiently and effectively to rapidly changing market dynamics. The C4T not only reduces the capital expenditure on equipment, but also allows operators to have a central shared resource that will allow them to be more audacious with their innovations and provide subscribers with new, premium quality applications.

Calculating Overcurrent Protection on the Primary Side.
3 KVA dry type transformer (Calculating Overcurrent Protection on the Primary Side)?
I will run #12 THHN wire as we usualy do but the current on the load is some constant at about 1.5 amps for a low voltage power supply and the rest of the panel is floating at about 15 amps max using 480 single phase on the line side of the 3KVA.
Just wondering if I can calculate exactly what the transformer is going to draw?
6.25 amps. You are in the wrong forum.

Digital picture frames have always seemed far too tacky to take seriously — a technology aimed entirely at grandmas — but Asus' new UFOTO UF735 digiframe at least seems marginally innovative. The 7-inch frame sports an 800x480 resolution that can also be used as a secondary PC displays. Also, the usual gaggle of features: USB 2.0 connectivity, headphone jack, 128MB of built-in memory, integrated speakers and a multicard reader for handling JPEG / BMP / GIF / MP3 files.

While interviewing the young Clinton staffers who suffered through a hostage situation in New Hampshire last week, "Good Morning America" co-anchor Chris Cuomo used an interview on Tuesday's program to gush over their zeal for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Almost unable to contain himself, the ABC journalist extolled, "They come out of this experience lucky to have their lives, more dedicated than ever to Senator Hillary Clinton."
Now, most Americans would freely admire the calm and collected manner in which Graham, Katherine and Morgan (GMA provided no last names) handled the obviously stressful situation of having to deal with a disturbed man claiming to have a bomb. However, some of Cuomo's comments seemed to go over the top. He approvingly explained to co-host Diane Sawyer, "They said they want to campaign harder then ever, because of this experience. If she wins, they should go right into the cabinet."
On Monday, GMA reporter David Kerley covered the subject and appeared to imply that the disturbed man, Leeland Eisenberg, committee his crime because he didn't have access to affordable health insurance.
A transcript of the segment, which aired at 7:31am on December 4, follows:
DIANE SAWYER: But first, we do want to tell you about the troubled man who allegedly held three workers host hostage at Hillary Clinton's campaign office in New Hampshire. He was arraigned on kidnapping charges on Monday. Prosecutors have described Leeland Eisenberg as a manipulative career criminal who is hiding behind phantom mental health issues. Well, this morning, the hostages are speaking out for the first time about the terrifying scene inside the office. And here's Chris with a GMA exclusive.
CHRIS CUOMO: Now, Diane, this situation could have gone very differently if there had been different hostages inside. These are a remarkable group of young people. And they told us in this exclusive interview about the grueling, hours-long ordeal with this obviously dangerous and unstable man. Take a look and a listen to Hillary Clinton staffers Graham, Katherine and Morgan. So, take me back to Friday afternoon. What was going on when Mr. Eisenberg walked in?
[NOTE: GMA provides no last names.]
KATHERINE: Well, the three of us were meeting to kind of go over what we were going to do for the day. We had a volunteer walk in. We stopped and were talking with her. And Lee walked in. I went to approach him and introduced myself. 'Cause we have people walk in all the time. And that's when he showed me what he said was a bomb and that's kind of how it all began.
CUOMO: What was he saying he wanted?
MORGAN: It was a very complex situation. But he was clearly there to seek attention from somebody who he thought could help him and he made it very clear that Senator Clinton is somebody that could do that and that's why he was there and wanted to speak with her.
CUOMO: As it went along, it was -- Morgan and Graham, you started to talk both to the police and to Mr. Eisenberg, right, like, trying to get this process going, trying to help any way you could?
GRAHAM: Right.
MORGAN: Yeah, that's a lot of what we did when we were in there, is just serve as kind of mediator between the negotiator on the police end as well as Lee and what he wanted. And just to anticipate what he wanted and keep him calm.
CUOMO: What a bizarre situation. It's never like that in the movies, right? It's always the crazy person talking to the police. You don't usually have the hostages getting involved in their own negotiation.
GRAHAM: Yeah. We were very involved in that, in that dialogue.
CUOMO: At one point, he does release one of you, Katherine goes first. Why Katherine?
KATHERINE: I really don't know why it was me. I think, I was closest to the door. Just kind of pointed to me. I don't think it was anything specific. At least not to my knowledge.
CUOMO: Now, it's Morgan and Graham. What was it like when Katherine left?
MORGAN: It was definitely a shift, I think, in the term of events, knowing there was somebody out there who was now potentially in contact and in communication with authorities who could describe what was going on inside the room.
CUOMO: And how long was it until you were let go, Morgan?
MORGAN: To be completely honest, I have no idea in terms of time, I had lost all sense of time when I was in there, but it was several hours.
GRAHAM: You were the last one there, Graham. Was there anything that you said to Eisenberg that you think may have helped him come to the decision to surrender?
MORGAN: I don't believe I did -- I said anything to him to help him surrender. I think that once we were removed from the situation, once both Morgan had escaped and then after I was able to escape, he went through his own process that none of us will know what went through his mind at that time, but apparently he chose to surrender soon after I was able to escape.
CUOMO: Has this terrible experience changed your passion for campaigning, made it stronger. Where are you now?
MORGAN: If anything, we're just motivated by helping, to help people, even mo more so than we were already.
CUOMO: So in some way had a positive influence on you?
GRAHAM: We're really to do the same job we were doing prior to this incident. And we're doing everything we can to understand what happened and understand how we feel and we're just anxious to return to our sense of normalcy and to our jobs.
SAWYER: And --
CUOMO: I have to tell you, these are impressive young people. They come out of this experience lucky to have their lives, more dedicated than ever to Senator Hillary Clinton. They said they want to campaign harder then ever, because of this experience. If she wins, they should go right into the cabinet.
SAWYER [Laughs]: Yeah, you heard it here first, Chris.
