Bipolar I disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by at least one manic or mixed episode. There may be episodes of hypomania or major depression as well. It is a sub-diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and conforms to the classic concept of manic-depressive illness.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteriaEdit
The essential feature of bipolar I disorder is a clinical course that is characterized by the occurrence of one or more manic episodes or mixed episodes. Often individuals have also had one or more major depressive episodes. Episodes of substance-induced mood disorder (due to the direct effects of a medication, or other somatic treatments for depression, a drug of abuse, or toxin exposure) or of mood disorder due to a general medical condition do not count toward a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder. In addition, the episodes are not better accounted for by schizoaffective disorder and are not superimposed on schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, delusional disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/2/2013 (1642 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This week, minor-hockey playoffs started in most areas of Winnipeg. As a result, more Winnipeggers will watch live hockey this weekend than at almost any other time in the season.
No one knows exactly who is going to come out on top. One of the great traditions of minor hockey in Winnipeg is that every team makes the playoffs, which creates a world of possibilities. The only thing that is certain is that frequently over the next couple of weeks, we're going to demonstrate our general ignorance of the rules of hockey.
Let's admit what's going to happen. Every hit delivered to a player on your team is a penalty, whether it's called or not. And every penalty assessed against your team is a crime against humanity. You will yell at children you don't know who wear opposing colours and assail the character of those unfortunate enough to serve as referees. You will see a conspiracy behind every call, and you might even point an accusing finger at a fan from another team.
Taking a moment away from the zaniness of the arena and the heightened emotion of playoff hockey, are we really helping the game? More importantly, are we really helping our kids, or instilling in them an attitude that will ensure future generations will be just as presumptuous as us?
The rules of hockey are hard to understand, even among a populace immersed in the sport from a very young age. Lamentably, most of our hockey knowledge is acquired by word of mouth from discussions and debates at the rink. Most adults, even those coaching hockey, have never had any formal education in the rules of the national sport.
For this reason, the Free Press, with the assistance of Hockey Canada, has created the Great Canadian Hockey Rules Quiz.
For the record, the rules have changed considerably since they were first devised. The game is faster at all levels, and there is a heightened focus on player safety. The rules are not like a 10 commandments of the game, written in stone and immune to change or challenge. The rule book is a living, constantly evolving document.
Hockey Canada, which publishes the definitive rules of hockey, generally reviews and changes some rules every two years. However, many provinces, cities, and even area associations within those cities, modify the rules even further. The constantly evolving nature of the rules, combined with local and regional preferences, make it very hard for players, parents, coaches and referees to stay current.
Knowledge of the rules was an important underlying issue at the heart of an incident two weeks ago at a Winnipeg arena. It went viral, thanks to a video posted on the Internet. In the video, the parent of a 15-year-old player erupts after his son is penalized for a hit that resulted in contact with a much smaller player's head. The father is incredulous his son would be penalized just because the other player was smaller. The video shows the referee properly applied the new rule for head-shot penalties introduced to the game by Hockey Canada last season.
Todd Anderson, manager of officiating for Hockey Canada, said many adults either watching or coaching hockey have trouble understanding that the rules, and the interpretation of those rules, can be different at different levels of hockey. The rules and interpretations in minor hockey are not the same as in junior or university hockey, and different still than the application in professional hockey.
"It is important to understand there are many different rules or interpretations between minor hockey and leagues such as junior or the NHL," Anderson said. "What you see when you watch the Brandon Wheat Kings play is not the same as what you should expect at a peewee game. But we all pick up on a version of the rules, a stance, and then we believe that is the way the game should be played."
That appears to be why adults will show up at a game involving a bunch of 12-year-olds and howl when a penalty is assessed for a play that would be acceptable in, say, junior hockey, but which is clearly over the top in minor hockey. We simply don't adjust our view of the standards of the game to fit the profile of the participants.
It does not help that certain scenarios commonplace in hockey are not specifically addressed in the letter of the rules. For example, "finishing your check" is a standard strategy at almost every level of hockey once bodychecking is allowed. But what does it mean? How late after a player has relinquished the puck can he be bodychecked?
Talk to referees, and they will tell you it's a judgment call to determine if a player arrives too late to deliver a check. The rule book doesn't actually include the term "finishing a check," even though it's a very commonly discussed concept. It is, simply put, the point at which body contact goes from being a technique for "separating a player from the puck" to a tool of intimidation. It's also a scenario in which it seems a disproportionate number of injuries occur. In this instance, it's not hard to see how the ambiguity inherent in the lack of a clear definition can cause hard feelings, regardless whether a penalty is called or not.
In general, better understanding of the rules should be a benefit for the average hockey fan. Especially if that knowledge is accompanied by a measure of moderation, especially at the lower levels of hockey.
Take the time and do the quiz. Then when you get to the rink this weekend, give yourself an extra second or two after witnessing a collision between two players and ask yourself this pointed question: Do I know the rule?

SMWC Presents "Little Women"
September 21st, 2011 | SMWC
For more than a century, the four sisters of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" have captured the imaginations of readers, young and old alike. On October 6-9, 2011, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) brings this classic tale to life – and to the stage– in a theatrical adaptation of Alcott's best-known work of fiction.
"Little Women" is set in the antebellum period, a time of elaborate hoop skirts, frock coats and civil war. The play appeals to all ages and promises to entertain audiences and also to reintroduce them to Alcott, an iconic American writer.
"Little Women" will be performed as part of a series of events in the Wabash Valley celebrating Louisa May Alcott's life and works. Alcott was an abolitionist and an advocate for civil and women's rights, and her views on social issues often shine through in her writing.
Danielle O'Connor, a 2011 SMWC graduate returns to campus to direct the play – her first production as a professional. "I think she's a great fit for our college," said O'Connor, who describes Alcott as the kind of empowered woman leader that SMWC strives to create in its students. "Her life itself is something [that shows] the strength of a woman and helps to instill that in the students here."
"She is what we would nowadays consider a modern, free-thinking woman," O'Connor added. "But in the second half of the 19th century, she was progressive."
All performances will be held at the Cecilian Auditorium on the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Campus.
- Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m.
- Friday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m.
- Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m.
- Sunday, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m.
Ticket Information:
- Adults: $10.00
- Children (10-18) and seniors: $5.00
- Children under 10: free
- Students from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Indiana State University, Ivy Tech State College and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and are admitted free of charge with a student ID.

K-State Survives Road Test at George Washington, 65-62
K-State Survives Road Test at George Washington, 65-62
Dec. 8, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sophomore guard Angel Rodriguez scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half as Kansas State escaped George Washington with a 65-62 win on Saturday.
Dwayne Smith's 3-pointer with 2 seconds remaining rimmed out and senior Rodney McGruder corralled the rebound to ensure the Wildcats' first road win of the season. The squad has now won seven of their last eight non-conference road games dating back to 2008, including six consecutive wins. This streak has come after losing 10 straight from 2003-06.
A Washington, D.C., native, McGruder earned his fifth career double-double and first of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Playing in front of numerous family and friends, he scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half. Junior Will Spradling added 10 points, while sophomore Thomas Gipson added a game-high 12 rebounds. The No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the country, K-State held a 46-36 edge on the glass, which included 24 offensive boards.
Smith led the way for the Colonials (4-5) with a team-high 14 points and Isaiah Armwood had 12 points, 10 rebounds and a game-high seven blocked shots.
The Wildcats let a seven-point second-half lead slip away but jumped ahead for good on Nino Williams' putback with 3:18 remaining. Rodriguez was fouled while attempting a 3-pointer with Kansas State ahead 58-57, and he sank all three free throws with 1:46 left.
With K-State leading 63-60, Rodriguez missed a one-and-one free throw with 26 seconds left. After Joe McDonald's layup cut the lead to one, Spradling made two free throws, putting the Wildcats up three with 13 seconds left.
K-State returns to action on Saturday, Dec. 15, as the Wildcats head west to the Battle in Seattle where the Wildcats will face No. 10/10 Gonzaga (9-0) at KeyArena. The game will tip at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN2.

Putting a foot in a Hobbit mouth reported in BBC News, American Museum of Natural History and ScienceDaily, 6 May 2009, and Nature, vol 459, p81 7 May 2009. Ever since the bones now nicknamed "the Hobbits" were found in a cave on the island of Flores, anthropologists have argued about whether they were dwarf human beings with pathologically small brains (a disease named microcephaly) or they were a different species of human. A group of scientists have now studied the feet of one of the specimens and concluded the feet "were primitive but not pathological" and are so different from human feet they must belong to a different species.
William Harcourt-Smith, a Research Scientist in the Division of Palaeontology at the American Museum of Natural History, who was involved in the study, explained: "Their feet have a combination of human-like and more primitive early hominin traits, some of which are more akin to those in Lucy." Lucy is the most famous of a group of extinct creatures named "Australopithecines", or "southern apes". The Hobbit foot is long in proportion to overall leg length, has long curved small toes and lacks an arch. Harcourt-Smith commented: "Arches are the hallmark of a modern human foot. It also has long curved small toes. This is another strong piece of the evidence that the 'hobbit' was not like us." The first metatarsal – the foot bone that supports the big toe, was relatively small, but researchers claim it was aligned with the other bones like a human big toe. In response to the "diseased human vs different human" debate, researchers compared the hobbit foot to "those of typical modern humans and pathological modern specimens such as pituitary dwarfs." The feet were not like any of the human feet, but were more like ape feet.
Editorial Comment: The Nature report has several graphs comparing the size and proportions of the Hobbit foot to those of humans and chimpanzees and other apes. The Hobbit foot consistently fits into ape range. This should be no surprise as its brain size and limb ratio of lengths fits the chimp range as well. It seems from head to foot this creature was an ape. (Ref. anthropology, hominids, Homo floresiensis)

(About Hayrettin Karaman's piece saying that one should not enjoy close relations with non-Muslims)
We are already facing the danger of division. That is a problem of Turkey's. It would be very wrong to now bring up another field of division, to encourage Muslims toward separation in another area. There were pagans in the time of out Prophet (saas), and Christians and Jews, and Muslims used to live alongside and preach to them. The teacher is a very worthy man, but it is amazing he should have used this kind of language. It is amazing he felt the need to do so. So what is preaching then? One preaches to non-believers, to Christians. There is a commandment in verses. One must preach to all the People of the Book. There have always been non-believers among Muslims, and people have preached to them. What kind of idea is a conception of isolated Islam? That does not exist in Islam. Preaching is one of Muslims' main duties.
Surah Hud, 109
"So be in no doubt about what these people worship." Allah says they have very different beliefs. They ascribe equals to Him, He says
"They only worship as their forebears worshipped previously."
They were polytheists and sick in mind, "They worship as their forebears worshipped." He says they have the same character and system. "We will pay them their portion in full, with no rebate!." Allah says He will give them their just desserts."We gave Moses the book,"The Torah. "and people differed concerning it."What do they do? They make additions to the Torah and give it a totally different form. "had it not been for a prior Word from your Lord, it would already have been decided between them."Allah says He will punish them. But there is also a promise. He says He is in no hurry. "They are indeed in grave doubt about it (the Qur'an)."They are undecided one way or the other, He says. Do the People of the Book have a responsibility toward the Qur'an? The verse makes it quite clear. Allah says it is wrong for the People of the Book to doubt the Qur'an. Some people say they have no responsibility toward the Qur'an, that Christians and Jews have no such responsibility. But Allah says they do. Allah regards it as wrong for them to be skeptical and tells us to have sincere belief, insha'Allah.
We will be a world power around 2023. Foreign countries will not be our subjects. We are friends and brothers. We are in the same situation. Nobody is superior to anyone else. You cannot say: "I am a manager. You are inferior to me." We say, "we are servants." "You are our brothers. We want to help you" we say. Everyone is equal. We will not give any blessings to Christians. It is Allah Who will do that. Their churches are open. They worship. Nobody interferes with them. There is no compulsion in religion. Nobody can pressurize anyone else. You cannot compel Muslims, nor Christians, nor Jews. Nor can you patronize them. You cannot say, "We are your rulers but are very kindly going to let you worship." Allah has ordained that they can worship as they please. We would like them all to be Muslims. And if they choose to, that is most excellent. But there can be no compulsion. If they are unwilling, then we respect that. We have respected them for 1400 years, and will continue to do so. We brought them over from Spain. But we did not then tell them we were superior to them. They lived like royalty, really. We always showed them love and respect. We opened our homes and lands to them. Superiority lies in faithfulness. If a Muslim is faithful, Allah will appreciate that in the hereafter. We cannot be sure of ourselves in this world. Anyone can go to hell. But we would like the People of the Book to be Muslims. That is the good news of the Qur'an. But without any compulsion. And we make no claims to any racial superiority.2012-10-31 14:38:06

A YOUNG actor has learnt from a star of the West End before he takes to stage.
Matthew Emeny, aged 16, is set to play Reverend Shaw Moore in a Worcester Operatic and Dramatic Society Youth Section production of Footloose and David Essex, who played the role in the London hit, shared a few tips on how to portray the grumpy vicar.
Essex, whose career has combined theatre, films, television and music, took some time out to talk to the RGS Worcester pupil ahead of starring in the Dishwashers at Malvern Theatres, which runs until Saturday.
Matthew said: "Chatting to David really boosted my confidence and encouraged me to take the role from a new perspective. He advised me on believing the role and to have truth and meaning in my words.
"I greatly appreciated the time David took to talk to me and the sound advice he gave me".
David Essex played in Footloose at the Novello in 2006.
Based on the 1984 film it tells how the Rev Shaw Moore has banned dancing in a small backwater town in America called Bomont, in a well-meaning but ill-judged attempt to keep residents out of trouble.
Unfortunately this means Bomont is a very dull place, that is, until young dance-crazy Ren moves to town with his mother.
The musical, with a cast of 70 eight to 18 year olds, runs at Worcester's Swan Theatre from Tuesday to Saturday, August 5-9.

1. General. By participating in the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation 50/50 Raffle ("Raffle"), entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, Inc. ("Foundation"), which shall be binding and final as to all matters related to the Raffle. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and is void where prohibited.
2. Jackpot. The "Jackpot" shall be the total proceeds from raffle tickets sold for that drawing ("Raffle Tickets"), less reasonable expenses incurred by the Foundation for the operation of the Raffle. The Jackpot will be publicly posted during the Raffle. In the event there is a surplus of expenses deducted, such proceeds shall be retained by the Foundation and donated to charity. In the event an insufficient amount is deducted to cover the Foundation's expenses, the Foundation shall absorb such expenses.
3. Foundation Proceeds. Fifty percent (50%) of the Jackpot will benefit the Foundation, a 501(c)3 public charity, and the programs that the Foundation supports. These programs aim to improve recreational, educational, health, and social services for children and families in need, with a primary focus on programs in Arizona.
4. Eligibility. The Raffle is open to all persons age eighteen (18) and older and subject to these Official Rules.
5. Purchasing Raffle Tickets. All Raffle Tickets may be purchased as follows: one (1) Raffle Ticket for $2.00; three (3) Raffle Tickets for $5.00; ten (10) Raffle Tickets for $10.00; or forty (40) Raffle Tickets for $20.00. There are no discounts or complimentary Raffle Tickets. Raffle Tickets will be available for purchase in-person at Chase Field ("Ballpark") behind Section 134, designated kiosks in the Ballpark, and from Foundation staff during all Arizona Diamondbacks home games from April 3, 2015 through September 30, 2015.

Raffle Tickets are only valid for the drawing held on the date of purchase.
6. Raffle Tickets are Not Tax Deductible. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.
7. Prize. Each winner will receive a prize equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Jackpot.
8. Taxes. Each winner shall be responsible for any and all travel, costs, federal, state and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with a prize. At the time of this printing, federal law requires that a tax withholding on certain prize values must be collected from winners upon award and distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time each prize is claimed will be followed. A shared prize claim by multiple persons shall not reduce any applicable withholding on the total amount awarded.
9. Selection of Winner. During the 7th inning, one (1) Raffle Ticket will be drawn by the Foundation to determine the winner of the prize. The number of the winning Raffle Ticket will be announced in the Ballpark, listed on www.dbacks.com/5050raffle, and recorded on the Raffle hotline at (602) 462-3949.
10. Prize Claim. Within thirty (30) days of the applicable drawing, the prize claimant must notify the Foundation and present the winning Raffle Ticket in-person at the Ballpark during normal business hours to claim a prize. A Raffle Ticket may be shared by multiple prize claimants; provided, however, that in the event of a dispute, the direct purchaser of the Raffle Ticket will be presumed to be the sole winner. Each prize claimant must provide the Foundation with all information required to claim a prize (including tax identification information). The prize claimant will receive an Affidavit, Prize Claim, and Release ("Release") which must be executed and returned to the Foundation no later than five (5) business days after his/her receipt of the Release. In the event a claimant: (a) does not notify the Foundation within thirty (30) days of the drawing; (b) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (c) refuses the prize; or (d) does not return an executed Release, the prize will be forfeited and will be retained by the Foundation for charitable use. The Foundation has no obligation to contact potential winners. All prizes will be sent to the winners via check within thirty (30) days of the winner delivering the winning Raffle Ticket, executed Release, and all other required documents to the Foundation. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to the winners.
11. Odds. The odds of winning the Raffle depend on the number of Raffle Tickets purchased for the drawing.

Exciting news!!! My little sister has booked a last minute spring break trip to NYC using my saved up Chase Freedom points so she'll be here from this Friday to Wednesday! But best of all? Because I "paid" for the trip, I get to slave drive her for the entirety of her visit. I mean, it's really only fair. God, I love little sibling intern (slaves)!
Anyway, added and sewed all the boning channels today. Took me a few tries to dye them the color I wanted so it took longer than I had initially planned, but they're finally on there! The length of my boning channels are 3/8", typically they are 1/2" but I personally prefer the look of the slimmer channels even though they are harder to sew. For boning, I chose to use spiral boning for this dress because spiral boning tends to mold over the curves of the body better and is more comfortable for the wearer.
Like all types of boning, it is possible to cut steel spiral boning down to the size you want on your own. However, it definitely isn't a matter of using your scissors to cut it down. Trust me, your scissors will lose. I was determined and learned that the hard way my third semester.
For the best results, it is best to go get heavy duty wire cutters from somewhere like Home Depot. Don't try going to a fabric store for this, they usually overcharge for something that won't even cut steel properly. Remember to take seam allowance into consideration when deciding your boning length. Your spiral boning will destroy your sewing needle on impact.
After you cut the steel, you will be left with a sharp jagged edge that is no longer protected by a rounded tip. Worry not, for a small price these tips can be purchased separately. The hard part comes with attaching the tip. My friend Yecca taught me the best way to tip the spiral bones is to use a pair of needle-nose pliers and a pair of linesman pliers. Holding the bone and tip with the needle-nose plier and using the linesman plier to hold the edges in place, apply as much pressure as you can at the same time on the tip. This should secure the tip in place. If not, repeat until desired results are achieved or ask for help from someone that is stronger.
To my knowledge, these are the places that sell spiral boning:Steinlauf & Stoller
239 W 39th St (between 7th Ave & 8th Ave)
New York, NY 10018
(212) 869-0321
I usually get my bones here. It is $.50 per bone and $5.00 for a dozen. I believe, they have them precut from 3" all the way up to 15", but don't quote me. Tips are $.10 each, $1.00 for a dozen and I think $7.20 for a gross (144 pieces). Be warned though, S&S is only open Mon-Fri and closes promptly at 5pm.
Sil Thread
257 W 38th St (between 7th Ave & 8th Ave)
New York, NY 10018
Rumor is that they will cut according to the size you need, but I have yet to go there to confirm those rumors.
218 W 38 St (7th ave & 38th Street)
New York, NY 10018
(212) 279-9310
I have only ever gone here for spiral boning during emergencies, because their prices for boning tend to be a little pricier than Steinlauf which adds up when you buy mass quantities. I've been relatively nervous about whether or not I made the right decision for making my skirt so full – it is fuller than a full circle – after I added in the 4" horsehair which has made it jut out in the most unflattering manner. So after I finished the boning channels and inserting the boning in, I started nervously tacking the many different shades of red hand dyed flowers onto my dress to see if it would weigh down the dress as I had originally thought. A bagillion hours later…
…Yup, I've definitely got a long way to go, but it does look like it will sit much better after I sew on all my flowers.
On the bright side, at least I'm at a comfortable point for tomorrow's fitting.

HOUSTON - Residents in the Ryon community north of downtown say they had no idea they've been living next to a contaminated dump site.
Neighbors say they always knew a large industrial site was near their homes. What they didn't know was a wood treatment plant also operated nearby. According to the EPA, contaminants such as arsenic and benzene leaked from the plant into surrounding soil and ground water. In the 1980s, the situation was so bad federal officials ordered the "South Cavalcade Street Superfund site" cleaned up.
Some who have lived just blocks away for decades say they never knew a thing about it.
"The actual dump site is two blocks from where I live," said Monique Howard, a life-long resident in the neighborhood. "I had no idea and I've lived here 46 years."
"I was pretty upset that no one actually told us that it was there," said Myrna Trevino.
Trevino recently discovered the Superfund site when trying to sell a home down the street. She sent out 300 flyers asking neighbors to meet about it.
"We had about 50 to 60 show up at the first meeting and we gave them the information we found on the internet," Trevino said. "Based off of that, no one really knew what was going on. They had no idea."
Since the initial meeting, hundreds of her neighbors have joined the concerned group, says Trevino.
The group's biggest question: Why didn't they know?
EPA officials in Dallas told Local 2 Investigates the agency held community meetings in the 1980s. Paperwork back at that time labeled concern in the neighborhood as "very limited." Since then, any cleanup updates have been listed as public notices in the newspaper.
"It's not enough," Trevino said. "It's indirect. This is something they can't keep under their hat anymore."
Those living in the area said they wonder if incidents of cancer could be linked to the contaminated site.
"We really need to know, what's going on and what's our next step?" Howard said. "What do we need to do?"
EPA officials say evidence shows the contaminants are contained at the dump site itself, and they believe there's no health threat for the those living nearby. Neighbors say they aren't convinced, and want tests done on their properties.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph in Kenya say Thank You for Your Help in Building Their Convent
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Success Story
"We do not have the words to thank you." This was how religious Sisters in Kenya expressed their gratitude after ACN benefactors enabled them to build a new convent in Kenya.The Sisters of Saint Joseph are an African congregation founded in 1938 on the island of Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania. The congregation has some 260 Sisters today, working in many different fields. They support priests in their pastoral work, give religious instruction, teach in schools and provide medical care for the sick. The Sisters are also active in the Archdiocese of Mombasa, in the south of Kenya, and among other places in the small town of Maungu, roughly 95 miles west of Mombasa. The people in this region often have to contend with droughts, and when the rains do come, they often last only a few days, which is too little to guarantee a successful harvest. As a result, there is a shortage not only of water, but often of food as well. Since the town lies on a major highway, many truck drivers pass through. Often they will pay young local girls a few cents and sexually abuse them. The Sisters have their hands full, helping the people. Until recently, in fact, this meant an exhausting, 10 mile bicycle journey just to get to Maungu. Meanwhile, the people there had been asking the Sisters to set up a house in Mangau as well, even giving them a piece of land. Thanks to our generous benefactors, we were able to give them $27,300 so that they could build a convent. Now there are four Sisters living here, all devoting themselves to the service of God and their fellow men. They wrote to say thank you: "If you only knew what it means to us to have a convent in Maungu! We pray for you every day!"Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

News sources in Europe have reported an outbreak of African swine fever in Lithuania, part of the European Union. A hunted wild boar tested positive to the disease.
A Global Post article said Lithuania has imposed a temporary ban on the movement of live pigs out of the affected areas, "fearing the virus could spread to local farms." Two non-EU neighboring countries, Russia and Belarus have banned pork products from Lithuania that are not processed thermally as a result of the virus being detected in the country last week.
The Lithuanian government is expected to declare an official state of emergency this week in regions bordering Belarus, which it claims was the source of the virus. Officials also imposed a temporary ban on the shipping of live pigs out of the affected areas, fearing the virus could spread to local farms.
In addition, all wild boars hunted in these regions (which are close to Poland, another EU-member country) will be incinerated if tests show they carry the virus. The Food and Veterinary Service in Lithuania said 90 percent of the country's 60,000 wild boars would have to be culled to stop the virus from spreading, according to the Baltic Times.
Interior Minister Dailis Alfonsas Barakauskas said the government will turn to the EU Commission, asking to finance a fence along Belarus' border to prevent the movement of boars. Last year the European Commission rejected Lithuania's request to pay for a fence to stop wild boars from Belarus crossing the border.
Latvia has banned the import of animal feed from Lithuania as a result of the scare, reports The Baltic Course. The Food and Veterinary Service has ordered several import bans, said Latvian Food and Veterinary Service spokeswoman Anna Joffe. She also asked hunters to be especially careful, and report any suspicious wild boar activities.
Animal feed produced in Lithuania's southeastern regions have been banned, as well as reproductive materials from live pigs, including pig embryos, egg cells and sperm. There also will be tighter control of animal products, especially pork products, on Latvian borders. Vehicles transporting animals will be subject to disinfection.
The Latvian government has agreed to allocate 1.36 million Euros in an effort to keep African swine fever from spreading across its borders.
African swine fever is harmless to humans but deadly to pigs, and presently there is no cure.

An elderly woman has died following a fire in Rishton early on Boxing Day.
Three fire engines were called out to a house fire on Cliff Street, Rishton, at 3.59am, and firefighters rescued rescued a man from the first floor and the woman from the ground floor.
Three people were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. The woman died in hospital yesterday evening.
A 53-year-old man who managed to escape the property and was also taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. He has since been discharged but the 52-year-old man continues to receive treatment although he is not expected to suffer any long term ill effects.
Group manager Ben Norman of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Our thoughts at this time are with the lady's family.
"We have seen this happen too many times during a period which is supposed to bring joy and happiness.
"The property did have a working smoke alarm; unfortunately, it wasn't enough to help save this lady's life. A joint police and fire investigation is now underway to determine the cause of the fire."
The fire is currently being treated as unexplained but there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
Steam and Combined Operations. Things have changed.
For those who own (and run) Combined Ops (ArmA2 & Op. Arrowhead) on Steam, something seems to have been changed by BIS/Valve with the way that CO is run. Essentially, the option for starting CO has been deprecated and is no longer required. Starting Op. Arrowhead should now automagically start CO. Unfortunately, there seem to be a small number of issues (that have had some of us scratching our heads for a night or so).
Firstly, unless it has been done already, Steam seems to have changed ArmA2 and OA over to their new format (along with a lot of other games), so you'll need to try and run both first, to get the stuff converted... should take about 5 minutes, maybe a little longer.
Once that's done, you'll need to do the first time set up stuff again, like you did when you first installed and ran CO... Run ArmA2 at least once to... do whatever it is that that did. Then, run OA and it should run CO. Check the expansions menu, or the list ojn the main menu for the ArmA2 entry, if it's there you should be golden.
If not, and if only OA runs and there's no A2 content, then we have a problem. Luckily, it should be easy to solve, and is probably due to mods in your modline (Launch Options). Delete the -mod= and every @mod name... load NO MODS through that option. Instead, the Expansions menu on the Main menu should now work... Go into it, and enable the mods you desire, disable the mods you don't want, restart the game (or it should offer to restart itself).
Removing ALL mods from the mod line is a bit of overkill, but it's the easiest way to ensure you can get CO running, without 1/2 an hour of testing or so. The problem seems to be if there are @folders in the A2 directory that have the same name as @folders in the OA directory, and the -mod= line is in launch options (even if those duplicated @folders are NOT being loaded), something stumbles when the game tries to get the list of A2 mods and the list of OA mods (to be added to the expansions menu) and finds duplicate entries. When there are no mods loaded through that way (-mod=) there doesn't seem to be a problem (for myself and the others I've spoken to, at least).
If you own and run CO through Steam, you'd be well advised to check you can get it running no problem prior to the FOLK session today, or TT on Tuesday. If you own CO through Steam, but don't run it through Steam (use a launcher etc.), then I don't think there's any issue.
tl:dr version
1. Convert A2 and OA on Steam, by trying to run them individually.
2. Run ArmA2 once.
3. Clear the -mod= line from Launch Options if it's there.
4. Run OA. CO should be run.
5. Organise/Enable/Disable mods through the Expansions menu.
6. Die face down in the mud in order to stroke the egos our incompetent, vainglorious, inept, callous leadership cadre, and keep afloat their delusions of tactical genius FOR GLORY!!
This isn't from exhaustive experimentation or study or anything like that, just from how a couple of us on the RPS Steam chat room have been able to get it to run. If you've anything to add... add it below. If I've missed anything, let me know.
If you copied your Steam-Arma to a SSD by using Steamtool or other means you might have to copy A2/OA back to their "intended" folder in steamapps/common first, launch both, then copy them backPlay ArmA with us. (Competence not required.)
It's okay to not like things.

You may also note that there's a new Arma2 Operation Arrowhead Beta entry on steam that you can install. Not sure if that's do anyone any good or not.

LAKELAND, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team (13-5, 1-0 SSC) opened its 2012 Sunshine State Conference schedule with a hard earned 4-2 victory over rival Florida Southern College (10-8, 2-2 SSC), Friday night from Henley Field. The Lions pounded-out 13 hits in the win, while Aaron Brandt allowed only two earned runs over 6.2 innings of work.
Saint Leo did all their damage in the first three innings as they plated four runs, including Anthony Santa's second home run of the season. Brandt and bullpen did the rest as they held the mighty Mocs' offense to just six hits and two earned runs.
Four Lions posted multiple hit games as both Ryan Brnovich and Brendan Collins secured three hits apiece, while Frank Rawdow and Taed Moses registered two hits each.
Santa wasted no time in providing the visiting Lions the lead as he brought home the first of his two run-scoring hits on a sacrifice fly to centerfield, allowing Brnovich to score from third.
Brnovich extended the Lions' lead to 2-0 in the second inning as his single through the left side scored Rawdow.
After seeing the lead trimmed on a solo shot by the Mocs in the bottom of the second inning, the Lions' Santa blasted a solo shot of his own over the left field fence in the top of the third. Saint Leo wasn't finished, however, as Rawdow continued the inning by rocketing a single to the shortstop scoring Zach Miller from third making the score 4-1.
Brandt controlled the game from that point forward. He retired 12 of the next 15 batters until the seventh inning. After allowing a run on three-straight base runners in the seventh, both he and Shaun Gough shut the door on Florida Southern with three consecutive outs. The Mocs did not get any closer as they could not break the steady Saint Leo relief.
Overall, Brandt was brilliant on the bump as he struck out a season-high six batters en route to his fourth win of the season. Meanwhile, in relief, the bullpen was lights out as both Shaun Gough and Adam Albers did not surrender a hit in a combined 2.1 innings of work. Albers was credited with the save.
Additionally, the Lions stole four bases.
The Lions will continue their SSC series with Florida Southern on Saturday, March 10. First pitch for game one of the doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. from Henley Field.

CRICKETERS at Queen's College hosted the Visually Impaired Somerset Cricket Team on Tuesday (March 4).
Led by the school's director of cricket and former Somerset star Arul Suppiah, the sides were put through their paces as they learned important cricketing techniques.
The Queen's side wore simulation glasses to feel what it is like to play with partial sight and a bell was put inside the bat to aid batting accuracy.

A number of roads have been affected in Wiltshire as rain continues to fall throughout the county.
The A363 Bath Road at Bradford on Avon remains partially closed due to flooding after being blocked to traffic yesterday.
The area of Shurnhold on Bath Road, Melksham is also experiencing flooding, while the Westbury Road at Yarnbrook is now clear after earlier flooding, but motorists are advised to take caution in these areas with more rain predicted overnight.
Reybridge and Lacock Bridge are both unpassable today, while there is also flooding at Brinkworth on The Street between School Hill and Stoppers Hill and on the B4069 at Christian Malford between Station Road and Sutton Lane, Sutton Benger.
John Thomson, cabinet member for hghways, said: "Our teams are working closely with partner organisations to keep the highways clear during this bad weather.
"The hard work will continue as we strive to make sure our roads and footways stay as clear as possible during the winter months."
If people wish to report a highway issue, they can call Clarence on 0800 232323.
Updates on road conditions are given through the council's @WiltshireWinter twitter account. People can follow this for up-to-date information during any adverse weather.

1) Right off the hop, Sean Avery drew a penalty. This is a huge camp and preseason for Avery, assuming he wants to play beyond this season, because his contract's up and he's never going to see another contract like the last one. And he might not get any contract at all if he has a season like last year. He's going to have to do a lot with a lesser role this season. Or sit a lot.
2) That said, how does he draw just a hooking penalty there, when the Devils player was whacking him relentlessly, and then dropped his gloves after the hooking penalty was called? How is that not, at minimum, two for hooking and two for unsportsmanlike conduct? Oh, right, because it's Avery.
3) Liked what I saw from Tim Erixon, from Ryan Bourque, from Carl Hagelin. Maybe some nerves early. Otherwise, looked just fine to me. Christian Thomas, McColgan and Dylan McIlrath, too. Though I still wonder if, other than Erixon, there's room on the big club for another rook.
4) Didn't mind the work of Dale Weise, either, and that was before the fight and the goal. The Rangers are going to need call-up guys during the season, and based on what Weise and Kris Newbury did last year, they'd be fine in those roles again. And from what I understand, both worked extremely hard and came to camp in superb condition.
5) Nice game for the Block Ness Monster, Dan Girardi. (ps, and not making a big deal out of this, I always said I like him better away from Marc Staal; they're too much alike).
6) Speaking of that, I'm off the Monster kick (except for Block Ness and Ryan McMonster) this year because I found out last year that Pierre McGuire uses it. So my new thing is going to be Beast. Unless somebody has objections, or a better term.
7) McIlrath=Beast.
8) Not a big fan of the Albany arena (had a bad experience there during hoops last March, though I did get to meet Julie and her mom). But it sure looked good to not have boards covered in ads, didn't it?
9) Maybe it was because this was the first exhibition, and because the Devils didn't have much of their lineup in there, but they weren't as boring as usual, were they? Or should I say, "DeBoaring?" (Editors note: I wrote that early in the game. I take it back; they were boring).
10) Deveaux was pretty monst … um, er … beastly, too.
11) Guess which Rangers big-shot front-office guy admitted to me that he reads the blog.
12) Boy, it's fun doing this again. Been a while. Don't know how many of these I'll get to see with the football season and the Yankees looking like they're going to go deep into October. Might have to enlist some guest reviewers.
13) Good job by equipment manager Acacio Marques putting together Weise's shirt, which was ripped open in the fight but back in one piece for the game-tying goal.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/6/2014 (1176 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In what may prove to be a monumental lapse in judgment, I have agreed to attend my 40-year high-school class reunion at the end of this week.
It's being held at St. Paul's High School, where I attended Grade 12 after moving to Winnipeg from Vancouver back during the paleolithic period when the first primitive stone tools were invented.
I enrolled in the all-boys, Jesuit-run school partly because of its prestigious academic reputation and the sense of spiritual community it provides to students, but mostly because (a) it was just down the street from my house and (b) was the only school in the neighbourhood with a football team.
I have never been big on reunions, but decided to attend the 40th on the grounds one of my old high-school buddies is flying in from the West Coast and, in a sincere humanitarian gesture, informed me he was going to stay in my basement instead of some overpriced hotel.
You would think I'd be mildly nervous to get together with a bunch of guys I have not seen in the last 40 years, but I am not. This is mainly because, as I may have already mentioned, I am a guy, and guys do not become overly stressed by social events of this nature.
This is because guys, especially middle-aged guys, do not judge other guys based on their physical appearance, even if the guy in question has packed on so many pounds since high school he now exerts the same gravitational pull as the sun.
Guys are just not that shallow. No, we base our opinions of other men on their God-given ability to carry out complex masculine tasks, such as making farting noises using only their hands or driving a golf cart into water hazard while blindfolded.
One thing we guys do not care about is whether a former classmate is now the premier of the province or the head of a major corporation. Your standard guy is more likely to envy someone who spends his day shagging balls at the local driving range than a dweeb who is forced to wear a suit and sit through PowerPoint presentations on the consumer price index.
I expect the main activity at Friday's reunion will involve hunching over, squinting and attempting to read the name tags attached to the sports jackets of fellow grey-haired classmates, which, given our eyeballs are now 40 years older, will prove extremely difficult unless the names are printed in letters the size of recreational vehicles.
It is a different story when women attend a high-school reunion. I base this statement on my wife, who is a woman and informs me getting together with former classmates can cause a great deal of stress for any woman who has been foolish enough to eat solid food since graduating.
The goal, according to my wife, is to prove to the mean girls you have not seen in four decades you are not only a successful, self-assured modern woman, but also the exact same size you were back in (bad word) high school.
The point is, there is a certain amount of anxiety involved, which is probably why a Los Angeles-area woman, terrified at the notion of attending her 10-year high-school reunion, decided to send a stripper to impersonate her at the gathering.
An ABC News story I just read online said a woman named Andrea Wachner hired a scantily dressed pole dancer named Cricket to take her place at the Palos Verdes reunion, then made a documentary film, I Remember Andrea, about the prank.
The story explains, on the day of the reunion, Cricket, accompanied by a film crew, showed up in fishnets, a tight dress resembling a slip, and spike-heeled boots. She used an earpiece to communicate with Wachner, who was armed with a yearbook to help ID former classmates.
The dramatic climax came when the bogus Wachner stripped to her underwear on the dance floor, causing the reunion attendees to clap, laugh and scratch their heads in sheer confusion. In the end, the story notes, hotel security intervened because they didn't think the film footage would be good for the hotel's image.
Which is why I want to reassure all the guys in my graduating class, when they see me at our 40th reunion Friday night, it will, in fact, be the real me they are seeing.
I'd hate to think my ex-classmates will be suspicious just because I've lost more than 100 pounds and am now able to perform totally awesome pole-dancing moves.
The truth is, I'm still the same down-to-earth guy I was back in Grade 12. If anyone wants a lap dance, that is definitely going to cost extra.

RYAN Moore and Kieren Fallon are the two jockeys in the frame to ride Wiltshire-trained Toormore in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot next week.
Last season's champion two-year-old, trained by Richard Hannon, made an impressive return in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket in April and the initial reaction to his seventh-placed finish in the 2000 Guineas over the same course and distance was one of disappointment.
Subsequent results have shown it was not such a bad effort, however, with Toormore's lesser-fancied stable companion Night Of Thunder taking top honours ahead of subsequent Irish Guineas winner Kingman and Saturday's Derby hero Australia.
Toormore is on course to renew rivalries with Night Of Thunder and Kingman on the opening day of the Royal meeting next Tuesday and with Hannon's stable jockey Richard Hughes unsurprisingly opting to ride Night Of Thunder, the ride aboard the Middleham Park runner is going spare.
Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin said: "It's very much the plan for him to run in the St James's Palace and in many ways this is D-day for Toormore. It's a pivotal race for him.
"We made some excuses for him finishing seventh in the Guineas, but the form of the race is obviously brilliant.
"The question we're going to find the answer to on Tuesday is whether that is as good as he is or not.
"I've spoken to Richard Hannon and Hughesie (Richard Hughes) has decided he's going to ride Night Of Thunder.
"Our plan B is Ryan Moore and our plan C is Kieren Fallon, so we'll have to see what happens over the next few days.
"Toormore has had a nice break since the Guineas and I'm told he did his usual thing when he worked on Saturday. He's not a horse who burns up the gallops, but I believe he's in great form and I don't think there will be any excuses this time.
"It promises to be an absolute spectacle."
Meanwhile, Middleham Park Racing have yet to decide whether to target unbeaten Hannon-trained colt Kool Kompany at next week's Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot or keep their powder dry for a second trip to Ireland later this month.
Following impressive displays at Leicester and Windsor, the Hannon-trained juvenile completed his hat-trick with a determined display in the Listed Rochestown Stakes at Naas at the start of the month.
The youngster is a best priced 10-1 for the Coventry, with Aidan O'Brien's The Great War a hot favourite, but Kool Kompany could yet sidestep the race in favour of a tilt at the GAIN Railway Stakes at the Curragh on June 28.
Palin said: "His form stacks up and we haven't made a final decision on whether he'll go for the Coventry or wait for the Railway Stakes at the Curragh.
"If it's a 50-50 call, he'll go to Ascot, as there is only one Coventry, but other factors might come into consideration.
"He handles fast ground no problem, but being by Jeremy, he probably prefers a bit of cut in the ground and that would suit him better than a horse like The Great War, for example.
"If the ground were on the softer side of good next week, we may well end up going to Ascot, but we'll just have to wait and see."

Miller spoils Lohse's return with seven strong frames
Cards celebrate Musial as pitchers combine for two-hitter
ST. LOUIS -- The scouts used to come by the dozens to watch Shelby Miller pitch as a high school senior back in 2009, making the trek to Morris Southall Field in Brownwood, Texas, to see what the hard-throwing right-hander pitcher was capable of.
On Friday night, a crowd of 42,528 at Busch Stadium watched as Miller allowed one hit and struck out eight batters over seven innings in his third career start, retiring the final 17 batters he faced in order.
The Cardinals turned the rookie pitcher's near-perfect performance into a 2-0 win against the Brewers, in a game the club dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Hall of Famer Stan Musial.
"Obviously it's a good night to get a win, with the Stan celebration and stuff tonight and remembering him," Miller said. "It's a good win, especially for what was on the table. I think everybody's going to go home happy tonight."
The 22-year-old rookie stood in front of his locker, smiling slightly, when asked by reporters to evaluate his start -- his second of the season and his second at Busch Stadium.
"Overall, it was good," Miller said. "Earlier in the game I was throwing a lot of pitches and leaving the ball up and getting a lot of foul balls, but I finally settled in and started getting the ball down more and it took me deeper in the game."
Miller displayed the tantalizing talent that the Cardinals were banking on when they selected him out of high school with the 19th overall selection in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.
"Shelby looked great," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "I didn't know if he was going to be able to make it through the fifth inning there for a while. He was giving up 10-pitch at-bats it seemed like every other hitter. But then he kind of changed his sequences, moved into the bottom of the zone and started getting some quick outs. What a great job overall."
Miller (2-0), who won his season debut on Saturday at San Francisco, surrendered just two baserunners on Friday. He allowed a single by Norichika Aoki to lead off the game and hit Alex Gonzalez with a pitch with one out in the second inning. Of Miller's 113 pitches, 87 were strikes.
"Shelby absolutely dominated," said Cardinals third baseman David Freese. "He acted like a veteran to a T. It was fun to watch. Fun to play behind.
"Obviously he expects that out of [himself]. We expect that out of him. But to go out there and do it, that's special."
Miller outdueled Brewers' righty Kyle Lohse, who signed with Milwaukee as a free agent after going 55-35 in five seasons with the Cardinals. Lohse (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out two in seven innings.
"He was sharp," Matheny said of Lohse. "He really was. He didn't give the guys much. We did hit some balls hard that didn't get away from somebody. But we knew going in that he's going to keep them in the game. … He pitched the kind of game that we knew he was going to pitch."
The Cardinals (6-4), who have won three straight games and five of their last six, took an early lead with a run in the second.
Carlos Beltran led off the inning with a broken-bat single to right-center field. Yadier Molina followed with a double into the left-center gap that a diving Ryan Braun had in his glove, but couldn't corral. The next batter, Freese, plated Beltran with an RBI single up the middle to make it 1-0.
Molina added a solo home run, his second of the season, to left-center in the seventh inning to give the Cardinals some breathing room.
Trevor Rosenthal tossed a scoreless eighth inning and St. Louis closer Mitchell Boggs finished it off in the ninth for his second save in three chances. Boggs walked Aoki with one out and then allowed a single to Jean Segura before striking out Braun and Rickie Weeks to end it.

Hi guys i am very new with python and was seeing if anyone could help me out!!
I have to make a working code from this......
As a software developer, you have "inherited" an incomplete project. Your predecessor has partially completed the development of a coin tossing game, and you have taken on the task of finishing it off...
You are to write a small application for a coin tossing game. In this game, your code will simulate the tossing of 2 coins.
Firstly, the user will be asked for their first name.
Then the user will be asked to predict the outcome of the toss:
Heads (that is two heads)
Tails (that is two tails)
Heads and tails (that is one head and one tail)
Lastly, the user will be asked for their bet on the outcome. (The return on the bet will be that the users double their money for a win on 1 or 2 above, and for a win on 2 receives one and a half times their money.)
Sample input/output is given below:
Welcome to 2-Coin Toss!!!
Hi, what is your name? John
Well, John, it is good to meet you!
Here are your possible calls on the toss of two coins:
1. Two heads
2. Two tails
3. One head and one tail
What is your call, 1, 2 or 3? 1
You have called: two heads
What is your bet? $10
The toss is: two heads
You have won: $ 20
You are required to put range, type and existence data validation in place for the user's call of 1 (to heads), 2(two tails) or 3 (head and tail). The form must be a While loop that repeats a request for the call of 1, 2, or 3 until the user enters a 1 or 2 or 3 (that is, entries such as "hello" or "5" must be rejected by your code without crashing with a run-time error).
The user bet is subject to validation, according to the restrictions shown in the SRS.
1.1 Identification of the software product
This is a prototype gaming system suitable for a mobile telephone
The name of this gaming system is "2-Coin Toss"
1.2 Intended audience of this Software Requirements Specification
This audience for this document is software developers.
1.3 Purpose of the software product
This software product should take the user's name, call of heads, tails, or head and tail, bet, and respond with a win or lose scenario.
2. Scope
2.1 Items within Scope
Request for client's name
Taking of call of heads, tails or head and tail
Validation of call input
Validation of bet
Calculation of toss
Informing user of win or loss
Display running total of user winner/loss total
All bets and results must be stored in an external text file
No single bet may exceed $10
No user can bet more than 20 times in a single session
Details of any settings i.e. maximum bet, maximum number of bets in a single session, bet to payout ratios must be stored in a separate external text file
2.2 Items not in Scope
Registration of each user is not in scope
Access to the settings files via a menu option is not in scope
2.3 Operating Environment
The application is intended for use on mobile phones.
The code i have been given so far is:
def 2_coin_toss():
import random
name = input("Hi, what is your name?")
print ("Well,", name, ",it is good to meet you!")
while not(counter<5):
print ("Here are your possible calls:")
print (" 1. Two heads")
print (" 2. Two tails")
print (" 3. One head and one tail")
call = input("What is your call, 1, 2 or 3? ")
print ("You have called ",)
if call==1:
print ("two heads")
if call==2:
print ("two tails")
if call==3:
print ("head and tail")
bet = input("what is your bet? $")
print ("The toss is:",)
if toss==1:
print ("two heads")
if toss==2:
print ("two tails")
if toss==3:
print ("head and tail")
if call==toss:
print ("You have won $", bet*2)
print ("You have lost you bet of $",bet)
Appreciate it if someone could help thanks!!

CINCINNATI (AP) -- An Ohio lawmaker has filed a counter lawsuit against 14 investors who sued him last month, alleging he participated in a fraud cheating them out of more than $1.2 million.
The investors allege their money was improperly spent on non-business items including the 2010 election campaign of state Rep. Peter Beck of Mason. Those allegations have led to a legislative ethics committee investigation of Beck.
Beck's lawsuit filed Monday in Cincinnati denies investors' allegations, calling them false and malicious. Beck also wants the investors' lawsuit dismissed. He is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
Beck's lawsuit says investors contacted the media and government agencies to embarrass and humiliate him in an effort to "extort" a settlement or other concessions.
The investors' attorney said he hadn't seen Beck's lawsuit and couldn't comment.
