BRIAN Pritchard has said he hopes the attitude of his newest recruits is adopted by the rest of Witton's squad.
Attacking midfielder Iain Howard and versatile defender Sam Barnes are the latest signings by Albion this week, both of whom have recent experience of being promoted to the Football Conference.
"It was an easy decision to bring them here," said Pritchard.
"They have been part of successful teams in the past few seasons, something I felt was important when drawing up a list of targets.
"After a difficult year during which we found it difficult to win regularly, that's the first thing to improve on.
"They add to what the group has already, and I'm confident now I've got good combinations all over the pitch."
Left-footed Howard played for Stockport County last season after helping Chester to three successive league titles previously.
A wide player with an eye for goal, the 26-year-old is likely to fill a role played by Josh Hancock during recent campaigns.
Pritchard said: "It's true I hope Iain can find the net for us as often as he has done for his former clubs.
"He's a player that will excite our supporters, though his strengths are different to Josh's.
"What I've liked already is his approach – he's a down-to-earth lad and will be easy to manage."
Barnes, 22, arrives at Wincham Park after playing more than 70 matches for Marine across two spells with the Crosby club.
In between, he was a regular in Hednesford Town's team when they were promoted via the play-offs from the Northern Premier League's top flight.
Following Rob Bodie's exit to Premier Division rivals Skelmersdale United, he is likely to start the season alongside Ben Harrison at the heart of Witton's defence.
"Sam contacted us towards the back end of last season to ask if we'd be interested in him," said Pritchard.
"He seemed a bit disillusioned with football, so I told him to call us again after he'd had a break. He was true to his word, and I'm happy to have struck a deal with him.
"I'm disappointed Rob has gone, and I think he's made a mistake. But that sometimes happens in football, and we'll move on."
The arrival of Barnes and Howard takes to five the number of signings made by Pritchard since the end of last season.
Goalkeeper Chris Sanna and left back Michael Lea, both drafted in from Colwyn Bay, and forward Michael Koral are the others.
Witton play a first friendly at Runcorn Linnets next Tuesday, kick off 7pm.

ABOUT $1.5 million worth of cigarettes have been stolen from a freight company in Sydney's west.
Police were called to the firm's holding yard at Wetherill Park early on Saturday morning after employees discovered it had been broken into and four pallets of cigarettes had been stolen.
Police allege that CCTV footage at the yard showed three men breaking into the premises at about 1am (AEDT).
The trio then used a forklift to remove the pallets before placing them in a waiting truck, police said on Sunday.
The truck was later found burnt out at Minchinbury.
While the cigarettes have a wholesale value of about $600,000, police said they would retail for approximately $1.5 million.
A similar incident occurred at the same location a couple of weeks ago and detectives believe they are linked.
On January 13, three pallets of cigarettes were stolen from the holding yard after a number of men gained entry.
The cigarettes stolen during that break-in also have an estimated wholesale value of approximately $600,000.
Police are asking for anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Studying Radiation Physics at NIST
Twice a week last semester, Matt Tweardy traveled to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, to work on what he hopes will be his ticket to graduate school.
The AU physics senior worked on his senior capstone project in the NIST Radiation and Biomolecular Physics Division, researching how light waves can be used to create a more effective radiation treatment. The project is a variation of his summer internship there, where he did the same research, but with sound waves.
"I'm going to keep moving the project forward and continue working on it. I want it to help me get into graduate school," said Tweardy, who wants to study nuclear engineering in the future. He is also a student in the School of International Service, concentrating on global security and Europe.
Tweardy's summer research used sound waves to measure temperature changes in water. Using an ultrasonic imaging system, his research showed that it is possible to use ultrasound to measure heat from radiotherapy beams.
Ronald Tosh, a physicist at NIST and Tweardy's advisor, said Tweardy was focused and disciplined.
"He set out from the beginning to own the problem and the work and all the little setbacks along the way," Tosh said. "He was able to make unprecedented strides in validating a research instrument we are trying to use for imaging radiation dose in water."
"My favorite part about the research was making a legitimate contribution to a technology that will be used in everyday life to help people," Tweardy said.
Knowing the exact amount of radiation a doctor delivers to a patient during radiation therapy for cancer is very important, he added.
"Too much radiation can make a patient very sick and is potentially fatal," he said.
Tweardy's summer internship was part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program at NIST. He said he was looking for research to do over the summer, and a professor suggested the program.
"The Physics Department has really helped me along," Tweardy said. "It's small, but it has a good community feel."
Tweardy said his dream job is to work for the International Atomic Energy Agency. He studied abroad in Belgium and interned at Foratom, the trade association for nuclear energy companies in the European Union. There he worked on two projects: investigating the environmental damage caused by the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan, and analyzing the future of the Russian nuclear industry. Tweardy said the best part of his internship was connecting with other industry professionals, which reaffirmed his goal of entering the nuclear energy industry.
After working in a modern physics class on a project about the history and science of the atomic bomb, Tweardy said he became interested in nuclear engineering. Studying energy policy in SIS classes only strengthened the fascination.
"It was the perfect combination for both my physics and SIS interests," he said.
Other students seeking research opportunities should have no difficulties, Tweardy said.
"There are so many opportunities around the country that offer really good pay and subsidies for living and travel," he said. "A lot of Research Experience for Undergraduates openings don't even get filled each summer. Just ask one of your professors. They can be so helpful."

Here's your one-stop shop to Sunday's NFL Week 17 betting card, with point spreads for each game and analysis and picks from The Linemakers on Sporting News. Be sure to click through to the informative and entertaining videos.
Lines are from the LVH SuperBook as of Saturday morning. Check out our live odds board for updated NFL Week 17 point spreads.
Jets at Bills (-3, 39)
Mario Williams and the Bills' front seven will feast on the Jets' O-line that allowed 11 sacks last week. Bills get the win at home.
Brian Blessing (video): Bills show up for this one
Dolphins at Patriots (-10, 46.5)
The Dolphins have 41 sacks on the season and should be able to keep the heat on Tom Brady. Meanwhile, the Pats have covered only five of their last 22 when laying double digits. Take the points.
Richie Baccellieri (video): Belichick doesn't take foot of gas in Week 17, but we still like the dog
Ravens at Bengals (-2.5, 41)
Neither team has a lot to play for here, but Marvin Lewis has said his Bengals aren't letting up. Look for Cincy to give the Ravens lots to think about and send Baltimore reeling into the playoffs.
Kenny White (video): Cincinnati should come to play
Browns at Steelers (-10, 34 1/2)
The Steelers have been eliminated from the playoffs, but they'll find motivation in revenge, and Mike Tomlin will have his squad ready to play.
Rick Herron (video): Don't see Cleveland scoring a lot of points no matter who plays quarterback
Texans (-6.5, 46.5) at Colts
The Texans outgained the Colts, 417-272, in a 29-17 win — and covered the number as a 10.5-point favorite — two weeks ago in Houston. There's enough at stake for Houston to expect a similar performance this week.
Kenny (video): Game is meaningless for Indy, means everything for Houston
Jaguars at Titans (-4.5, 41.5)
With the Titans offensive line banged up, Chris Johnson will have trouble running the ball and Jake Locker will be running for his life. The Jags come off a moral victory in a loss against the Patriots last week, and we think it carries over into this week.
Rick (video): Take the Jags—they're better on road
Eagles at Giants (-7, 46)
Michael Vick will be focused in this game, but the Giants? With their season slipping away, we're not sure they will be.
Richie (video): Vick, Eagles will play hard for Andy Reid
Cowboys at Redskins (-3.5, 49)
Tony Romo and the Cowboys have underachieved in the past, but we like them to show up Sunday night and at least cover the spread in this battle for NFC East supremacy.
Rick (video): Weather may help keep this game UNDER
Bears (-3, 44.5) at Lions
The Bears need a win—and some help—to make the playoffs. But Jay Cutler isn't known for being at his best when there's a lot at stake. We like the Lions to step up and leave their home fans with something to hang their hats on for next season.
Micah Roberts (video): Don't like Cutler in this spot, inclined to take the points at home
Packers (-3, 46) at Vikings
There's a lot to like about both teams here, but the value is with the home team and the points.
Richie (video): Green Bay laying too many
Bucs at Falcons (-5, 45.5)
The Falcons have the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up, so we have no idea how long Mike Smith will keep his starters in the game. So how about a first-half bet on Atlanta?
Kenny (video): Bucs are running for the bus
Panthers at Saints (-5, 54)
The Saints are out of the playoffs for the first time in three years, and the Panthers are sorry the season is ending. Look for Cam Newton & Co. to keep the momentum going.
Kenny (video): Carolina wins straight up
Chiefs at Broncos (-16, 42)
The Broncos are laying 16 points, too many for our tastes, but we can't recommend backing the Chiefs on the road, either. The better play here is on the total.
Micah (video): Chiefs can contribute enough to put this game OVER
Raiders at Chargers (-9.5, 39)
Line should be San Diego -4.5 or -5 if Carson Palmer was playing, as high as -10 now that he's not.
Richie (video): Who cares? Watch something else
Cardinals at 49ers (-16.5, 39)
We rarely recommend laying double-digits, but in this case, we see no value in the underdog, either. Colin Kaepernick makes the total a head-scratcher, too.
Rick (video): Don't see Arizona scoring much, but laying 16 in NFL is dicey proposition
Rams at Seahawks (-10.5, 41)
The Seahawks have been dominant of late, but there are plenty of reasons to back the Rams here. Among those reasons: Jeff Fisher; their stout record as an underdog; and the fact that, should the 49ers run away from the Cardinals, a win would mean nothing to Seattle.
Micah (video): Seahawks will be scoreboard watching

Cat Skiing Tours Check Availability Search Now Whistler Cat-Skiing & Boarding FAQs What is Snowcat Skiing? The machines you see grooming ski hills are similar to the ones use to transport skiers/snowboarders into the backcountry. You can enjoy an exciting day with a certified guide, carving through powder and endless terrain while absorbing spectacular views. No lift lines, epic powder all day, great atmosphere and good value. How good a skiier/snowboarder do you have to be? Skiers and snowboarders should have strong intermediate skiing ability with experience in a variety of conditions including powder, trees and steep terrain. Snowcat skiing is unlike a resort style ski area. There are no maintained runs or grooming and the snow is often very deep. Much of the area is similar to an un-groomed black diamond run. Snowcat skiing is a backcountry experience. Snow can vary from fluff to corn and everything in between. Guides try and match the groups ability level to the terrain. What to wear? Wear your snowsuit, jacket or pants that you would if skiing or snowboarding on the ski hill. Goggles, warm waterproof gloves and several thin layers you can take off are highly recommended. Powder specific skis or snowboard are recommended as the snow is really deep and your day will be much more enjoyable with appropriate equipment. Where to meet? Pick-up from all major Whistler Village hotel locations is included in the tour price. What is included? Transportation to and from the Brandywine base (approx 20 min south of Whistler), a saftey briefing and a short tranciever training, for your backcountry awareness and qualified guides. Tours also include lunch, (sandwich, fruit, cookie and water), permits and entry fees, and of course loads of fun. What is the average vertical? Average between 6,000 – 8,000 vertical feet of riding per day. However, this depends on the conditions and the groups riding ability. Are private charters available? Yes, private cat ski adventures are available for your ski group or family. No experience is necessary, we can even arrange for runs to be groomed with advanced notice. Your own private ski run.

Series 2 Lineup Revealed...
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, Toynk.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, and MonkeyDepot.com.
UPDATE: BigBadToyStore.com has just listed pre-orders for Walking Dead Comic Series 2 unveiling early photos of the figures.
With McFarlane's focus in 2012 solely being on their Walking Dead TV figure assortment, many had assumed that their Walking Dead Comic series had been canceled. While well over a year since the release of Series 1, a Comic Series 2 has recently been announced.
Scheduled to arrive this June, The Walking Dead Comic Series 2 will include:
Glenn, an original Atlanta survivor, has become crucial to the survival of Rick's group due to his ability and agility at getting in-and-out of zombie-infested areas in order to search for food and supplies. Glenn, in full riot gear, features 28 points of articulation and is equipped with two pistols, riot shield, baton, gas can, and removable helmet with flip-up visor.
Zombies are not the only threat to Rick and his band of survivors, the Governor is truly the first human antagonist that the group encounters within the comic series. The Governor features 28 points of articulation and includes a kitchen knife, pistol, and alternate mutilated head & right arm.
It's not until Mike, Michonne's boyfriend, is bit by a zombie that Michonne discovers the true nature of the zombie epidemic. A bite is a death sentence! Michonne quickly realizes that Zombies don't attack other Zombies and uses Mike as camouflage and protection against the hordes of the undead awaiting her in this new world. Michonne's Pet Zombie features 17 points of articulation and includes a neck collar & chain, tear off arms & jaw, and push in/ pull out intestines.
Nothing is stronger than a father daughter bond, as we see with The Governor and his daughter Penny. Infected early on with the zombie virus, Penny has been cared for and fed by her unconditionally loving father. Penny features 12 points of articulation and includes a bucket of fresh body parts (severed leg, severed foot, severed hand, intestines, heart and Rick's severed hand) that the Governor feeds to her. Figure also includes a fish tank with trophy heads collected by her father. One of the heads can be used as an alternate head for Michonne's Pet Zombie Mike, allowing you to build Michonne's 2nd pet and Mike's best friend, Terry.
Staying true to the comic, this blood-splattered black & white version of The Governor & Daughter Zombie is the perfect addition to any The Walking Dead collection. This box set still includes all the articulation and gory accessories included with the standard figures.

- How to Read a Study Record
Pain after tonsillectomy can be severe and last ten days.
Various new surgical instruments have been developed over the years in an attempt to reduce postoperative pain with mixed results and increased costs; no single tonsillectomy technique is superior to the rest. Patients are discharged to home usually on the day of surgery and often suffer significant pain and nausea. Pain medication is often prescribed which can cause nausea, vomiting and constipation. Children in pain are reluctant to take in fluids and may require intravenous hydration at an emergency department.
"Battlefield acupuncture " has been recently developed by the US Air Force and is now being used in Iraq and Afghanistan on wounded warriors suffering severe acute pain from trauma. This protocol consists of five acupuncture points on the outer ear.
A recent study has demonstrated decreased pain and agitation in children undergoing ear tube insertion. Ear tube patients have mild discomfort compared to tonsillectomy patients and are able to attend school the next day.
The investigators have been encouraged by the benefits of acupuncture during surgery for ear tube patients and also wounded warriors recovering from their injuries. These findings motivated us to see if acupuncture during tonsillectomy surgery would result in less pain and nausea.

I am watching TV and they just broke in with the news that a framework of a deal has been met for a new arena in Sacramento. Mayor Kevin Johnson is talking right now. It looks like the Maloofs will be putting in about $70 million dollars. A large majority of the money is coming from privatizing parking.
Kings should be staying in Sacramento, and I am happy we are getting a shiny new arena. The city council still needs to vote and approve it, but that shouldn't be a concern from what I've heard.
Sacramento, Kings have reached deal on new arena
By Ryan Lillis
Published: Monday, Feb. 27, 2012 - 10:36 am
The city and the Kings have reached the framework of a deal to build an arena and keep the Kings in Sacramento. Team co-owner Gavin Maloof came out of negotiations in tears to announce that the team has made a long-term commitment to Sacramento. More to follow.

LAKELAND, Fla. - A man suspected of killing his wife shot himself in the head Tuesday hours after he disappeared with his three young daughters, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said. The girls were found safe.
Raymond Gans, 27, and his children were found south of Mulberry. His condition and details surrounding their discovery were not immediately released.
The children -- Jordyn and Meikayal, both 3, and Bailee, 1 -- and their father had been the subject of an intense hours-long hunt after Jennifer Gans was found dead late Tuesday morning.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said Raymond Gans killed his estranged wife at her home and then picked the girls up from their babysitter's house.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for Gans, who was driving a 1997 white Chevrolet Astro van. Gans had called his mother and told him he had killed his wife and had the girls with him, sheriff's Col. Grady Judd said.
Gans has at least one prior arrest for aggravated battery and the couple had a court order to stay away from each other, authorities said.

El Cholo's Green Corn Tamales
Makes 12 tamales
24 ears yellow corn
1/2 pound cornmeal
1/4 pound shortening
1/4 pound butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half or cream
1 teaspoon salt
12 1-ounce strips cheddar
24-ounce can green chiles, such as Ortega
1. Cut both ends of corn, remove husks and save for wrapping. Cut corn kernels off the cob. In a food processor, grind the kernels with the cornmeal.
2. Beat shortening and butter together until creamy. Add the sugar, half and half and salt. Add the corn mixture and mix well.
3. For each tamale, overlap two corn husks. Spread some of the corn mixture onto the husks. Place one cheese strip and one chile strip on top of the mixture. Top with more corn masa.
4. Bring the edges of the corn husks over the filling to cover completely. Place the husk on a piece of square parchment paper. Fold ends of corn husks, then fold sides of parchment paper over tamale and fold up ends. Tie string around ends to hold in place. Repeat until all tamales are tied. You should have around a dozen tamales.
5. Place on a rack and steam in a steamer or in a large pot with a lid, making sure the water in the pot doesn't reach the tamales, for 35 to 45 minutes.

While King Arthur's Knights may search far and wide for the Holy Grail, audiences to Hudson Players' "Spamalot" won't have to work nearly as hard for laughs.
The musical, which is based on the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," with book and lyrics by Eric Idle (who also is the Voice of God via recording in this production) and music by John Du Prez and Idle, opened April 25 and is the final show in Hudson Players' 2013-14 season. "Spamalot" was directed by Dave Stebbins.
Those who have seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" will know the gist of the story, although there are a few twists and surprises in the musical, including the addition of The Lady in the Lake (played by Nina Takacs). In this spoof of Arthurian legends, King Arthur (played by Don Bernardo), along with his loyal servant Patsy (played by Brian Diehl) search for gallant knights. Knights include Sir Robin (Eric Oswald), Sir Lancelot (Jim Dove), Sir Galahad (Derrick Winger), and Sir Bevedere (Adam Alderson). Together, they search for the Holy Grail, and encounter dangers such as the Knights of Ni, the Black Knight, taunting French guards and ferocious bunny rabbits.
The cast does a commendable job with the fast-paced and wicked humor, and kudos to the set designers. The costumes, also, were impressive.
Ticket and show information
"Spamalot" will continue May 9, 10, 11, 16 and 17 at the Barlow Community Theater on Oviatt St in Hudson.
The May 16 performance will have American Sign Language interpreters.
All Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinee on May 11 starting at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $14, with group, student and senior discounts available and can be reserved at www.hudsonplayers.com or via phone at 330-655-8522.
Additional details can also be found at www.hudsonplayers.com along with information on the groups popular dinner and show package in conjunction with Hudson's restaurant.

A Melksham car parts supplier has taken a potentially lifesaving step, by becoming one of the first local firms to install a defibrillator on its premises.
The Bowerhill-based Melksham Motor Spares has invested in an automated external defibrillator, and has had five of its staff trained to use it by St John Ambulance.
Financial director Alison Cook said: "Following my First Aid at Work training, you are taught how important first response is in treating any casualty.
"Welfare of our staff is paramount to our business and should the worst happen, where a member of staff, customer or other person had a cardiac arrest, having the AED on the premises could be the difference between life and death. You can't put a price on that."
The firm has traded in the town for more than 46 years, and supplies parts and accessories across the county.
Managing director Phil Dodd said: "It is important that people in our locality know we have this equipment, it is an investment not only for the welfare of our staff and customers, but to anyone in our immediate community."

We haven't seen the Simpson girls out together in a while, with little sister Ashlee vacationing in Hawaii and Jessica laying low after ringing in the New Year with John Mayer. The other night, the sisters hit L.A. hotspot Koi, and we couldn't help but notice how much they look like each other! Are they taking cues from another famous set of sisters? We know that their styles have been converging for a while — with Jessica getting punkier and Ashlee getting girlier — but with their long wavy blond hair, bright red lipstick and black coats, they look so shockingly similar! We like the girls when they stick to their own style guns. Do you like their similar looks? Or do you miss their radically different tastes?

A new multimillion-dollar cybercrime lab will soon aim to stop online perpetrators' illegal activity.
Yesterday the Manhattan district attorney's office announced that the New York City Council has given it $4.2 million to build a new cybercrime lab, which for the first time will enable prosecutors and forensics analysts to work in the same location. The new lab reflects the district attorney's increased focus on cybercrime and identity theft.
"Cybercrime and identify theft are among the fastest growing crimes in the country," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement. "Nearly every case we prosecute—financial fraud, terrorism, even street crimes—depends upon the resources and expertise of my Office's Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau," which according to Thomson Reuters handles between 200 and 300 new identity-theft crimes each month, analyzes 1,000 cell phones a year, and analyzed three times the number of computers between 2010 and 2011.
The announcement about the new cybercrime lab comes just a few days after Vance reopened the case against former Goldman Sachs computer programmer Sergey Aleynikov with stealing secret coding from his employer. Last year Aleynikov was sentenced to more than eight years in prison, but earlier this year, the 2nd Circuit reversed the judgment.

Ivanna Filipenko is scheduled to perform "Carmen" in Vallejo later this month, but the Ukrainian-born opera singer is not sure she can muster the strength, as her life has been consumed by the turmoil in her native country.
"All my heart is there now. I cannot work, I cannot eat, I cannot focus on anything right now," the Walnut Creek resident said. "I can't believe this is happening in the 21st century."
Filipenko is not alone. Bay Area Ukrainians have spent recent weeks glued to televisions, computers, smartphones and any electronic device delivering updates to the fluid situation in their homeland. Their emotions ranged from euphoria when Kiev protests led to the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych to despair when Russian troops moved into Crimea, in southern Ukraine.
Born in Lviv, a western Ukrainian city, Filipenko emigrated to the United States in 1995, a few years after celebrating her native country's independence from the Soviet Union.
"I hope this ends and Russia will withdraw their troops from Ukraine," said Filipenko, whose cousins participated in the bloodless Orange Revolution in 2004 over a contested Ukrainian presidential election. "God will remove them from our country."
As the Euromaidan protests began in November in an attempt to move the country closer to the European Union, Bay Area Ukrainians intensely followed the violent Kiev skirmishes. Sunnyvale cybersecurity analyst Mikola Bilogorskiy and his young Ukrainian friends felt powerless so far away and formed MaydanSF, a group supporting the Kiev protesters, and now protesting the Russian involvement.
"I started MaydanSF ... because in December I saw videos of students beaten on the central square in Kiev, and I got real angry," the 32-year-old said. "I decided to do something to fight this injustice. Furthermore, my father was involved in Maidan protests back in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and I spoke to him frequently and knew how bad the situation was and wanted to help."
The group protested Sunday in front of the Russian consulate in San Francisco and plan another protest this Sunday. They are raising money for the families of scores of dead protesters.
Konstantin Kisly, a 33-year-old biotech worker from Palo Alto, has a special reason to help the group: He was born in Crimea and has family there.
"It's pretty strange to see any type of soldier in such a peaceful and beautiful part of Ukraine," he said.
The Ukraine citizen, who speaks Russian, said he still has plans for his annual summer trip to see his parents and spend time on the Black Sea.
"My hope is resolved to visit a free Crimea," he said.
Ostap Korkuna's fiancee helped in the medical brigades during the violent Kiev protests and the 26-year-old Palo Alto software engineer felt obligated to join MaydanSF.
"It's been a very emotional period. We definitely care about our homeland and have our families and people we know still there," he said.
Meanwhile, Bay Area Russians have mixed emotions.
The Ukranian people are the ones who are losing out in all this, said ethnic Russian Leza Sabsovich, 59, a home care aide who lives in Concord and was born in Odessa.
"Yanukovych is a bandit who has robbed the Ukraine for the past three years. Putin is no better -- people don't like him, but they (ethnic Russians in Ukraine) view a strength in him and fear the interim Ukranian government," she said.
She also said she believes the United States has sent money to "help destabilize Ukraine and support the opposition. The opposition is the one who started this, who became violent on the Maidan and throwing Molotov cocktails at the police."
Irina Milinevskaya, 41, of Pleasanton, originally from Moscow, said she opposes Russia's "incursion" into Crimea.
"This is a sovereign country, so what's happening now is really unpleasant to watch," she said. "People, especially my parents' age, still remember the invasion of Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and they don't want to be associated with this act of aggression. Looking back at this in 20 years, I want my children to be able to say that they are proud to be Russian."
Yakov Kamen, who lives in Los Altos and was born in Dnipropetrovsk, in eastern Ukraine, when it was part of the Soviet Union, has high hopes for the post-Yanukovych government.
"The opposition party never had a better opportunity to transform their country," said the 53-year-old owner of a software company. "They're trying to work as a team; they're listening to each other and can do great things, especially if the U.S. helps them. Ukraine can become a partner for the U.S., like Poland. All it needs is the Marshall Plan.
"Putin is tactically very sharp guy. He saw the opportunity to capture this area because Ukraine was unstable. This move will keep him in Russia's history books."
Maria Marche was born in Ternodil, Ukraine. Her grandparents were sent to Siberia decades ago by the Russians while fighting for freedom, the 58-year-old Castro Valley resident said.
"I think it's beautiful to die for freedom," Marche said. "Whatever our destiny is supposed to be we're ready to make it happen."

Perhaps my last post before Darren returns this coming week but a very easy question to the many wonderful Problogger readers out there, perhaps as means of feedback for Darren: The Guest Blogging Experiment at Problogger: Good or Bad?
From my perspective I've loved the freedom to write in the first person and ponder some interesting questions that I might have otherwise not raised at the Blog Herald, and I've enjoyed a lot of the contributions for other guest bloggers as well. Certainly one of the wonderful things Darren has going here at Problogger is the extremely strong "feedback" community if you like, in terms of those willing to leave comments. Whilst I've had some great comment threads at the Blog Herald I certainly can't match the consistent commenting on nearly every post here at Problogger, and from the third party view point I think that's a major aspect that for me makes this blog a must read..indeed on occasion (even from my own posts) I can learn more from the contribution of readers comments than I did from the initial post.
On the flip side I suppose there has been a lack of consistency without Darren's guiding hand present here at Problogger. Some days have had more posts than others, and the quality or interest has varied for me personally.
Share your thoughts. Darren will be back in Bleak City (Melbourne) this week and I'm sure he'll be interested in your thoughts. Indeed I have little doubt that he'll reflect on it as well, but why not get the ball rolling.

Is it possible to extract a regular, high-frequency clock from the NI 4462?
I need to synchronise with another card (a PulseBlaster) which requires a 100 MHz clock: either card can be the main source, but they must stay perfectly in sync.
(Both cards have onboard 100 MHz crystal oscillator modules; the PulseBlaster's one is socketed, so would be easy to connect an external source intead)
I'm using the PCI version, so the 10 MHz PXI star clock isn't available. The 10 MHz or 20 MHz clocks that DAQmx usually exports don't seem to be available for routing on this device.
I can't use the Sampleclock, because that is variable (~ 25.6 MHz, changing with sample-freq) and because it is only active when the 4462 is actually making measurements.
Also, this clock needs to be either 100 MHz, or a simple integer fraction of it (eg 10 MHz, so that a PLL can re-generate the 100 MHz).
At the moment, the best option looks to be to solder onto the 4462's crystal oscillator output pin - but that's a really ugly way to do it....has anyone had any experience of making the relevant modifications?
Is there a better place to connect to? I'd prefer to use the RTSI bus connector, but despite the tantalising hints in the documentation, it doesn't seem possible to get the 10/20 MHz master timebase out: there is
a pin called RTSI7/RTSI_OSC, but this is permanently low.
Thanks for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It sounds like you want to share a reference clock that you can use for synchronisation. Unfortunately, I think as you realise this is only possible with PXI.
You could export the sample clock but you have already mentioned the downsides of this.
Also, you can't route the reference timebase. It seems that as you said you need to modify your board, I am not sure who would have tried this as most would go with the PXI option.
Let me know if I can help you anymore - it seems like I have only confirmed what you already knew!
Dear Nick,
Thanks very much for your help. As you say, this confirms what I already knew.
But we really needed to keep everything in sync. So, here's what I did, which should hopefully help anyone else in the same position.
The circuit is very simple, using a FIN1001 LVDS line-driver. This is an SOT-23 package. Connections are as follows:
* Din connects to the 100 MHz oscillator output (TC0-2104, pin 4).
* Gnd connects to ground (C210, lower)
* +3v3 connects to the most accessible point, which is TCO-2104, pin 6. [The 3V3 regulator is on the reverse of the board]
* The FIN1001 power-supply is decoupled with an adjacent 0.1uf capacitor.
* Dout+ and Dout- are connected to a short (30cm length) of unshielded twisted pair, made from 0.7mm PTFE wire. (Z ~ 110 ohm)
Photograph is attached. The SOT-23 package is physically secured with a very tiny drop of cyanoacrylate glue, onto C210, and mounted on its back.
The receiver uses a FIN1002 receiver, terminates the twisted pair with 100 ohms, and uses a 74VHC04 to convert 3.3V to 5V TTL.
It's assembled on a 14-pin DIL socket, so as to plug directly into the socket on the other PCI card which normally has its own oscillator module.
Result: everything works, and I have a 100 MHz clock available to drive the other timing card.

Through participation in various interscholastic competitions, Negotiation Honors Program members demonstrate that Southwestern students are just as effective outside the courtroom.
See News Releases for the most recent team news.
2012-2013 Academic Year
Negotiation Teams Excel in Fall Competitions
The Negotiation Honors Program is having a lot of success at its fall competitions, earning Second Place at the National Sports Law Negotiation Competition in October and First Place at the ABA Regional Negotiation Competition in November.
At the National Sports Law Negotiation Competition held at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, Southwestern's team of Daniel Dib and Cortni Joyner took Second Place. Forty teams from ABA schools across the country participated in the competition, including Harvard, UC Berkeley, Hastings, and Fordham. The Sports Law Competition is the biggest national competition of the year and is extremely tough because it cuts from 40 teams to just four teams that make the finals.
This year, the teams negotiated Landon Donovan's contract and Wolfpack's entrance into the PAC16. Southwestern had two outstanding teams participate: in addition to Dib and Joyner, the team of Daniel Emmer and Jessica Manavi also represented Southwestern well.
Associate Dean Nyree Gray and Professor Cristina Knolton, Co-Directors of Southwestern's Negotiation Honors Program, coached the teams. "Daniel and Cortni were outstanding in the final round and were able to quickly think on their feet and adjust to anything the opposing counsel threw at them," Dean Gray said. "The received very complimentary comments from the judges and truly shined among 40 schools from across the country."
The second competition was the ABA Regional Negotiation Competition in San Francisco. The topic this year was small business management. There were 24 schools represented, including teams from UC Berkeley, Thomas Jefferson, and Pepperdine. Southwestern sent two teams: Jennifer Allen and Yasha Rastegari, and Jonathan Evans and Imran Rahman. Evans and Rahman advanced to the final round, where they won First Place by defeating California Western, the reigning regional champion team. In February, Evans and Rahman will compete in the National ABA Negotiation Competition in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to Professor Knolton and Dean Gray, Professor Vivian Montz also helped coach the ABA teams. "Overall I think both teams have done so well because of the immense amount of practice and hard work they put into preparing for the competition," Professor Knolton said. "Each team practices for two hours daily for the weeks leading up to the competition. The preparation is really a group effort. Both teams prepared by "sparring" against other members of the Negotiation Program and all teams implemented creative ideas shared by the other members of the team. After winning first place, the first thing Jonathan and Imran did was thank Jenn and Yasha for all of their help in preparing for the competition. It was a group effort and everyone contributed to the win."

But when he went to Canada without an international plan, the bill was more than $200,000. A Miami TV station intervened, and now T-Mobile says Aarons only owes $2,500. She has six months to pay.

Here is a list of events and goings-on in the world of genealogy blogging. Here's what is happening in the coming week:
GeneaBloggers Radio
Another episode of GeneaBloggers Radio will be broadcast this evening, Friday, October 28, 2011 starting at 9PM Eastern, 8PM Central, 7PM Mountain and 6PM Pacific! Tonight's show episode is entitled: Haunted By Ancestors – A Genealogy Halloween Special!.
The October 2011 Scanfest will take place at AnceStories on Sunday, October 30 from 11 AM to 2 PM, Pacific Standard Time.
Scanfest may be a new term for some of my new readers. What is Scanfest? It's a time when geneabloggers, family historians, and family archivists meet online here at this blog to chat while they scan their precious family document and photos. Why? Because, quite honestly, scanning is time-consuming and boring!
Scanfest is a great time to "meet" other genealogists, ask questions about scanning and preservation, and get the kick in the pants we all need on starting those massive scanning projects that just seem too overwhelming to begin.
Data Backup Day – November 1
Don't forget that the first day of each month has been designated as Data Backup Day – and here are some great resources to get you started. Post about how you backup your data (or don't backup your data) and we'll carry your post here at GeneaBloggers on November 1st!

52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy and History
52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History by Amy Coffin is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for each week of 2011) that invite genealogists and others to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. You do not have to be a blogger to participate. If you do not have a genealogy blog, write down your memories on your computer, or simply record them on paper and keep them with your files.
- Week 44. Elementary School. Describe your grammar/elementary school (or schools). Were they big or small? Are any of these schools still in existence today? If so, how have they changed since you went there?
We'll list a new challenge each Saturday which should be completed by the following Friday.

We are living through an emergency. Emergencies call upon us to bring forth all our courage to deal with them. We can't ignore them -- lest all we hold dear perish.
Fortunately there are noble people standing by to help in emergencies -- when we call upon them. One of them is Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president.
If you were one of the 328 people crowded into HSU's Kate Buchanan Room on Sept. 24 to hear her speak, you know that you were in the presence of a rescuer. Truth is unmistakable when it finally reaches us. I refer to an excellent article in the last issue of the North Coast Journal for the gist of Jill Stein's rescue plan and the atmosphere her words evoke.
We are going to have to get radical now, folks. We must vote Green. The others have been taking us places we don't really want to go. And blatantly lying to us -- history tells us so.
Today I learned that the Green Party is guided by Ten Key Values. Look them up, they will make your heart soar. If all our laws and policies were written with these values in mind -- and we behaved accordingly -- we wouldn't be going through this emergency.
We must help in any way we can. No more voting for people with so little conscience. And if they do get into positions of authority, no more obedience to that authority.
This is an emergency.

Halloween is a fun time for kids and grown-ups alike. Jack-o'-lanterns wink at us from front porches and thoughts turn to costumes and candy corn. But along with all the treats that the season offers, it's wise to have a few safety tricks up your sleeve.
The Missouri Department of Social Services offers the following advice:

KEEPER Russell Faulkner scored a penalty to round off Wootton Bassett Dev's 6-2 win over AFC Wroughton in Wiltshire League Division One.
Bassett were 4-2 up at half-time courtesy of Tom Titcombe (2), Misurtin Aras and Craig Smith, while Wroughton netted via a penalty and a fortunate deflection.
However, that did not tell the whole tale as Wroughton were reduced to 10 men early on and played most of the match a man down.
After the break Bassett increased their advantage through Luke Carter and Faulkner completed the win from the spot late on.
Boss Dave Terry said: "Russell has a bit of a nightmare sometimes and we wanted him to keep a clean sheet against Wroughton, but we gave a sloppy penalty which didn't help him.
"So in the last 10 minutes to make it up to him, we asked if he wanted to take the penalty and he did.
"It was a very good penalty and he could be our regular taker now."
Elsewhere in Division One, Malmesbury Reserves triumphed 5-3 against Chippenham Park Reserves and Intel were defeated 2-1 at Marshfield.
Meanwhile, Purton Reserves secured a 2-0 win over visiting Corsham Reserves in their first Wiltshire Premier game in a month.
The match was level at 0-0 at half-time, but Purton took the lead within moments of the restart, when Reece Gilliver latched onto a through-ball and tucked his shot away.
The hosts might have extended their advantage but Jamie Sheppard saw his drive rattle the woodwork.
In the closing minutes Purton finally wrapped up the win, substitute Terry Moore charging down a clearance, beating two men and setting up Tom McCulloch who tapped in.
"The first half was a bit scrappy and you could see both sides hadn't played for a while," said Purton boss Albert Dearing.
"We had a much better second half, we showed a good bit of quality and had two or three chances to finish it off before we actually did.
"I don't think our keeper had to pull off a save in the second half so we weren't under much pressure."
Elsewhere in the division, Wilts Calne Town kept their stranglehold on top spot courtesy of a 4-1 win over Vale of Pewsey.
Chippenham Park's pursuit of Purton in second suffered a blow as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Bradford Reserves.

Muni-Bond Funds See Second Straight Billion-Dollar Weekly Withdrawal
This spring's extended woes for the municipal bond market have still failed to abate and in fact deepened last week, as muni-bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds witnessed a second straight week of billion-dollar investor withdrawals. Muni funds and ETFs reported $1.61 billion in net outflows in the week ended Wednesday, per Lipper data, the largest single-week outflow in six months, after one week ago the same funds saw $1.47 billion in investor withdrawals. The four-week moving average of fund flows fell to a deeply negative $793 million average net outflow.
The muni market typically struggles in early spring but is usually in rebound mode by this time of year. Instead this year it got hit by May's bond sell-off and continues to struggle. The good news is that can now pick up muni closed-end funds at some pretty deep discounts.
The iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond (MUB) fund closed at $107.23 Thursday, down from $108.09 a week earlier and down 3.4% over the past month. The Nuveen Municipal Value (NUV) closed-end fund finished at $9.66, down 40 cents from a week earlier and down 6.5% over the past month.
