Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' split generated an enormous amount of press. A very healthy percentage of the headlines wound up being anti-Tom Cruise and more specifically, anti-Scientology. For the most part, the actor weathered the negativity without responding, except with the stories that involved him mistreating his daughter Suri. Those allegations he took very seriously.
Back in July, Cruise threatened to sue The National Enquirer over a claim that he left his daughter in a tiny, windowless room, and now, he's officially filed a lawsuit against In Touch and Life & Style for claiming in separate headlines that he abandoned Suri. According to CNN, the paperwork was submitted in Los Angeles this morning, and it asks for more than $50 million in damages for publishing "malicious garbage".
Any money Cruise wins will be donated to charity after the litigation, and it is his attorney's hope that paying a libel judgment will make both magazines think twice before moving forward with lies in the future. Here's what lawyer Bert Fields had to say about the case…
"Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri. She's a vital part of his life and always will be. To say he has 'abandoned' her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible."
During his time in the public eye, people have claimed many different things about Cruise, but to my knowledge, no one close to him has ever accused the star of not caring about his children. He has always come across as a doted father and caring person, regardless of his religious affiliation.
We'll keep you updated as this case works its way through the court system.

Maybe not, but it's a fairly well known quirk of Postgresql that long-running transactions don't work so well; the JDBC driver is no different to any other interface in this regard. If you don't care about transaction boundaries, why are you even turning off autocommit in the first place? It's a little unfair to explicitly turn off autocommit, then complain that you need to manually commit transactions! -O

Thought I might post here before giving up.
I'm trying to SLI my two PNY 8800GT's and I'm running into a roadblock. The driver install is fine but when I go to enable SLI in the nvidia control panel my screen blinks a couple times and hangs with a blinking cursor. After rebooting both devices are disabled and I'm standard VGA mode.
Both cards individually work fine, and my power supply seems to be hefty enough and brand new (Corsair TX650W).
Here's what might be a twist, while both are PNY 512MB 8800GT's, they are different models. I believe the difference is in cooling, though I'm not quite sure if that's all there is to it.
I only noticed they were different upon receiving my order, and the research I've done indicated that different 8800GT's should SLI fine if they have the same memory buffer size.
I've also come across some threads that describe this same exact problem and identifying it as a Vista 64 driver issue and only resolving it by going back to 169 drivers. I've tried downloading the latest few stable drivers without success, and tried the latest Far Cry 2 beta drivers as well. Not exactly willing to down grade my drivers that far back as I know there have been some considerable performance increases in the latest drivers and I don't want to sacrifice that for a shoddy SLI setup.
Has anyone else come across this?

Pap technique
PAP technique
1. (Science: gynaecology) Colloquial abbreviation for papanicolaou's stain.
2. (Science: technique) peroxidase antiperoxidase method for obtaining an enhanced peroxidase reaction to indicate antibody binding to antigen.
In the first stage the material, for example a section, is reacted with a specific antiserum (say rat) against the antigen. In the next stage a large excess of say rabbit antirat immunoglobulin is applied so that only one of the binding sites is bound to the first antibody.
Then a rat antiperoxidase antiserum is bound to the second antibody unfilled sites and finally peroxidase is added and binds to the third antiserum before the peroxidase is used to develop a colour reaction.
Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page.

Staff Writer
An eastern Lincoln County man, who told police he was robbed at gunpoint on Monday, later admitted the incident to be a planned drug deal.
Timothy Paul Froneberger, of 8794 Hagars Ferry Road in Denver, called police just before 5 p.m. stating three people had robbed him at gunpoint in the Wal-Mart store parking lot on North Generals Boulevard in Lincolnton, according to a Lincolnton Police Department press release.
He was arrested on Tuesday.
Police said Froneberger claimed the trio, a man and two women, approached him in an orange vehicle while he waited for a friend inside his own car.
After the man exited the vehicle with a black handgun, Froneberger told police, he demanded his wallet.
Froneberger said the individuals stole his debit card and $20 in cash, according to the release.
Officers grew suspicious of the suspect's story after learning he reported the alleged incident nearly an hour after he said it happened.
Froneberger's story also changed multiple times during questioning, investigators said, and store surveillance showed contradictory evidence.
Froneberger later admitted to buying marijuana from the trio for $20 and filing the report after they didn't return to the parking lot with money or drugs, according to the release.
The 21-year-old was charged with one count of filing a false police report and given a $1,000 unsecured bond.

CULVER CITY, Calif., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Jeffrey Ross, William Shatner and Patrice O'Neal participated in the Comedy Central roast of Charlie Sheen, cracking drug and warlock jokes in California.
The roasters noted how impressed they were by Sheen's willingness to take the jabs at him Saturday night at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif., The Hollywood Reporter said.
"He was laughing so hard at one point when i was up there that cocaine came out of his nose," Ross joked at the after party, which had goddesses serving jello shots and bars offering "nectar from the Gods."
Everything from the self-proclaimed "warlock's" drug use to the goddesses in his life seemed to be fair game to roasters.
The night ended with Sheen performing a stand-up bit.
"It was weird," added O'Neal, "It wasn't like he was an amateur up there. He was really good."
The show is set to air on Sept. 21 on Comedy Central.
"Until tonight I never realized how (expletive) up I was," Sheen said to the crowd. "Maybe I should have listened to those 60 doctors, three ex-wives and two paramedics."

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Goldthwait's act is very stream-of-consciousness, detouring and jumping through hoops before doubling back to find whatever point Goldthwait was intending to make 20 minutes earlier. He tells several supposedly true Hollywood stories (and takes note of how often he starts a story with "this is a true story!"), stories about his daughter, stories about being on "Hollywood Squares" and "The Tonight Show," all of which are sprinkled with outrageous doses of racial humor, dark humor, and R-rated language.
Over the course of this 57-minute special, Goldthwait's references range from vintage to current. Most of the current material is political, including talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger's departure as governor of California, and one of his best jokes is a metaphor about the public's reaction to Obama, although he also covers some of his time directing Jimmy Kimmel Live. His enthusiasm is pretty amusing in and of itself, as he rides a miniature emotional rollercoaster based on whether he feels the audience is on his side. At one point he hops off stage to dedicate a joke about his balls to a random woman in the crowd.
However, the big complaint about this particular show is that a huge amount of it -- maybe 60% of the material or more -- is identical to the material on his CD I Don't Mean to Insult You, But You Look Like Bobcat Goldthwait, right down to the title joke. That CD was released in 2003, which means many of these jokes are almost a decade old. Maybe Goldthwait felt that the audience (which he mentions is frighteningly young) will simply not have heard the material, or maybe the idea is just that this DVD is intended for people interested based on his recent movies. I'm reminded of the way comedians like Aziz Ansari and Louis C.K., both recently releasing material, stressed that it was different than other albums or DVDs. If you're a fan of Goldthwait's, and you've heard that CD, there's little reason to pick up this disc.
The DVD
The front of the DVD actually looks quite nice. Stand-up comedy DVD covers never look all that great -- usually the comedian in front of a plain colored background making a wacky face -- but the art here takes the backdrop of the act and updates it with a current picture of Goldthwait. The back cover is a little more questionable: who chose the bizarre belt buckle photo frames? The disc comes in an eco-case (the kind that uses less plastic, not the kind with holes punched in the case), and there is a small insert inside promoting some of Entertainment One's other "Urban Comedy" DVDs.
The Video and Audio
This 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation suggests that You Don't Look the Same Either was probably shot in standard definition. Contrast is weak, artifacts roil and crawl through the shadowy backs of the crowd's heads. Long shots display low fine detail, but close-ups look basically okay. Sound is similarly unimpressive: 2.0 Dolby Digital is designed simply to get the job done, with Bobcat's jokes coming through the front and the sound of the audience coming through the back. Of course, stand-up presentations really don't need to look or sound better than this. I wish the presentation was better, but I also don't really need it to be better to fully enjoy the program.
The Extras
None. Trailers for Donald Glover: Weirdo, John Pinette: Still Hungry, Lavell Crawford: Can a Brother Get Some Love?, Pablo Francisco: They Put It Out There, Rickey Smiley: Open Casket Sharp, and Sebastian Maniscalco: What'S Wrong With People? play before the main menu, and all are unusually excruciating, especially Pinette's -- something about stand-up doesn't lend itself to trailers.
Goldthwait is a great film director and a funny guy, and I look forward to seeing new things from him. Of course, the emphasis there is on new -- sadly, this disc suffers from being mostly the same stuff he was doing ten years earlier. His Wikipedia entry says he actually considers himself to be retired from stand-up, so on a personal level, I can cut him some slack, but this disc is a skip it for fans.

Has Samsung supplier HEG Electronics been using child labor in its factories? According to results from Samsung's audits, no way.
"Samsung investigators did not identify any underage workers during the site audit at HEG Electronics in Huizhou, but we identified workers under the age of 18 on site," the company said.
Samsung's findings are a big departure from those of watchdog group China Labor Watch,which said last month that it found seven child laborers working in the HEG Electronics factory. Why the discrepancy?
China Labor Watch director Li Qiang offered one explanation: "I think this means that their auditing system has many problems."
In particular, Qiang said Samsung essentially warned HEG Electronics that its investigators were coming. This gave the factory enough time to move or fire its underage workers before Samsung could start interviewing them, Qiang said in a statement to VentureBeat.
While these are tough allegations to verify, Samsung does note in its report that HEG Electronics' high turnover rate made it tough to fully audit the company. So it's clear that the investigation could have been more extensive.
Child labor aside, Samsung's investigation did find a few problems. For one, factory workers were in some cases working nine hours per day, beyond legal limits. The factory was also fining workers for being late and did not offer access to a medial clinic.
As a result of its findings, Samsung is giving HEG Electronics two options: Either improve factory conditions or risk losing Samsung as a client. The company plans to expand its investigations to other suppliers over the next few weeks.

I just finished my first olympic triathlon this last saturday in Vernal- in the Clydesdale division. The training hours are well worth the sense of accomplishment when crossing the finish line.
I would love to someday do a 1/2 or full ironman, and am inspired by your story- especially at being able to stay the course and find the time to train for those distances. Keep it up!
Thanks for the inspiration.

Congratulations, Jody! I am not sure if you remember me, but we sat alongside Brett in the pressbox at the Grizzlies games prior to the Winter Olympics (I was covering the Grizzlies for the Standard-Examiner). Anyway, I applaud your efforts and the reasons behind them. I recently finished my first half marathon and so I marvel at how you made it through such a long swim, bike ride and then full marathon! Simply amazing and I am so happy for you! Way to go and keep moving forward. Take care!!

I rode a very fast trike (from Utah Trikes) 330 miles in four days in CA last year, the oldest guy riding and in the process till now have lost 60 pounds. Where we are at now I can no longer ride my trike or any bike because of the horrible traffic of Lima Peru but I understand the sense of accomplishment. Congratulations again for your accomplishment and for your life, your family too!

FREQUENT FLIER; Yes, That's a Head in My Baggage. Is There Some Sort of Problem?
By Dan Victor, as told to Christopher Elliott.
Published: February 6, 2007
HERE'S a packing tip I've picked up in my travels: If there's a head in your luggage, you might want to allow yourself a few extra minutes at the security checkpoint.
I recently flew to India for the debut of a Hindi-language version of ''Sesame Street'' called ''Galli Galli Sim Sim.'' Four new Muppet characters specifically designed for an Indian audience had been created, including Boombah, an eight-foot-tall multicolored vegetarian lion.
On the night I was supposed to return to New York, our Indian supervising producer, Pria Somiah, mentioned that Boombah's head needed to be refurbished. Pria had talked it over with Nadine Zylstra, our New York executive producer.
The order was given: ''Bring me Boombah's head.''
But when the head was delivered to my hotel, it was in a huge reinforced cardboard box the size of four large suitcases. Its contents were labeled, in a somewhat ominous way, as ''Boombah's Head.''
That's when my adventure began. The box was too big to fit in a sedan, so I had to hire a van at the last minute. At the New Delhi airport, which at any time of day or night feels like Times Square on New Year's Eve, I somehow made my way through the crowds until I arrived at security and the baggage X-ray station.
My timing couldn't have been worse. Earlier that day, British authorities said they had uncovered a terrorist plot to mix liquid explosives in the air and bring down a number of aircraft. The faces of everyone in the security detail displayed a grim determination that there would be no lapses in security at New Delhi airport that night.
The first security agent ordered me to dispose of all liquids and creams, including toothpaste and mouthwash. Then he turned to the huge box I was pushing toward the X-ray machine.
''What's in the box?'' he asked.
''It's Boombah's head.''
He looked like he was going to reach for his revolver, but he wasn't wearing one.
''Boombah is a Muppet,'' I explained. ''You know, a puppet used on 'Sesame Street'? You know 'Sesame Street' and the Muppets, don't you?''
Apparently not.
''He's very physically fit,'' I continued. ''And he loves music and likes to dance.''
As I rambled on about Boombah and his role in the show, I realized that I was sounding more and more unhinged. After all, they wouldn't let a small tube of Crest on the flight, never mind the head of an eight-foot dancing lion.
The security man was more or less speechless after my explanation. There did not seem to be any procedures for bringing a Muppet's head on board. He walked a few paces away to confer with his supervisor.
Then I had an idea. I reached into my briefcase and found an article that had appeared in one of the English language daily newspapers earlier that day about ''Galli Galli Sim Sim.'' It had a color spread of Boombah and the other Muppets -- Chamki, Aanchoo and Googly -- and, thank goodness, a photo of me, as well.
I showed the article to the agent. ''That's Boombah,'' I explained. He and his supervisor studied the clip for a while. They had only one more question before waving me through security.
''If he's so tall,'' a supervisor asked, ''how does he fit in the box?''

It's honestly a greater version of the team we played in April with STAT & Lin out. Except Lin is back in and Iggy replaces Fields. Our defense get even more solid and I think our offense would be more balanced and potentially better than it is now. With everyone knowing their place with Melo as #1 option and Tyson not having to fight with Stat for PnR touches.
Can you imagine how our shooters would benefit? Lin, Iggy and Melo are all very good at penetrating the lane and dishing it to shooters, hell even Shump can do it consistently.

I really liked this ftp program because it's fast and lightweight with such great features. I used to like ws ftp before due to it's robustness (great features plus the ability to resume file transfers without file corruption, great reliability) the same thing i found in winscp. unfortunately wsftp is now bloated and very slow not ideal for older machines plus it is not free and the gui and icons are ugly. Winscp is great due to it's reliability and robustness, lightweight, fast and free.
Unfortunately, one thing's lacking that could make it perfect is the looks, i hate to say that the GUI is ugly.
It would help to have a redesign of the gui will brighten it up or at least changing the icons to 24 bit will add greatly to it's appeal to users. There are lots of free 24 bit icons on the web I just could not understand why until now the program's icon looks like windows 3.1 16 color.
I suggest to create only one line toolbar with all the icons of very important functions in it since screen space is valuable for users. please retain the classic silver gray windows looks since i find it faster than themed windows. just change the icons to 24 bit is a big step forward to improve the overall appearance. thank you.

If you find a collection that includes all icons that WinSCP have, I'll be happy to replace them.

The Regina Pats, who rallied from two goals down in the third period Wednesday for a win over Everett, were well on their way to staging another comeback win Friday, but the Tri-City Americans were able to weather the storm.
The Americans, behind two goals from Brian Williams, beat the Pats 5-3 before a crowd of 4,178 at Toyota Center to improve to 3-0 against the East Division this season.
"We scored on our chances and they didn't score on theirs the first two periods. That's how I saw it," said Americans coach Jim Hiller. "I thought it was even, or they were even better in the first two, but we scored some nice goals. In the end, it was more fitting of what it should have been."
Tri-City goalie Eric Comrie picked up his 50th WHL victory, registering 28 saves.
"It's really exciting," Comrie said. "This is a great league with a lot of great goaltenders. I'm excited to reach that milestone."
It was Shaun Vey Aware Down There Night, and the Americans and the Tri-Cities Cancer Center raised funds for men's health issues. The event, in its first go-round, raised $2,377.60.

At least 13 doctors and therapists who have been banned from practising in the Netherlands and Britain, are continuing to work, RTL news said at the weekend.
Nine of the doctors and therapists were struck off in the Netherlands and four in Britain, RTL news said. Some of them are working in the Netherlands as alternative therapists and psychologists.
One runs a clinic in Rotterdam where he treats cancer patients, the broadcaster said. Another doctor is working as a family practitioner in Germany and one is a plastic surgeon in Belgium.
The doctors were banned from practising for sexual abuse, prescribing the wrong medicine, making mistaken diagnoses and carrying out breast enlargement surgery which went wrong.
One doctor had treated patients while drunk and another had injected patients with cell-based treatements which had only been tested on animals.
A spokesman for the health ministry told RTL efforts are under way to ensure the doctors struck off in Britain are also banned from working in the Netherlands.

Two Curry County residents received awards for the National Coast
Trail Association during Oregon Coast Trail presentations in Brookings
and Gold Beach.
Al LePage, director of the trail association, presented Al Collinet,
coordinator of Muscle Busters hiking group, the Trail Development Award
Wednesday at the Chetco Community Public Library.
Then on Thursday at the Curry County Courthouse Annex, LePage
presented Walt Schroeder with the Ernie Drapela Award, the
association's newest and highest special award for outstanding
achievement in developing missing links in the Oregon Coast Trail.
The awards were presented during the last two stops of LePage's program titled "Oregon Coast Trail: Journey Along the Edge of Infinity!"
"Walt is the spark. No, he is the lighting bolt for the Oregon Coast Trail along the South Coast," LePage said.
"I cannot begin to express the appreciation I have for Walt Schroeder," LePage said. "He has worked for years, freely giving of his time, energy and other resources to make the Oregon Coast Trail a reality."
LePage said Schroeder's "relentless advocacy, make-things-happen organizing, hands-on trail building, and working with everyone to successfully create connections for the trail where he lives set him apart."
The Ernie Drapela Award was created to recognize the dedication and success of both Schroeder and Joanne and Norman Kittel of Yachats, who received the award in early March.
The award is named for the first chair of the Oregon Recreational Trails Advisory Council, created in 1971 to advise the state parks commission about recreational trails in Oregon. One of the first projects they recommended was that the Oregon Coast Trail become State Parks' No. 1 priority.
LePage said Schroeder and the Kittels kept working over the years and developing even more trail, so he felt it was necessary to honor them again.
LePage said Schroeder has spent a lot of time outdoors working as a county extension agent, hiking and doing trail work in Curry County, as well as advocated for the development of the trail along the South Coast with Oregon State Park's managers and state trail coordinators.
"Since 2004, (Schroeder) worked with Al Collinet, coordinator of the Muscle Busters trail group, and those associated with it, to help build trail at Otter Point, Cape Sebastian, and along many sections of Boardman State Park," LePage said, adding that most recently, Schroeder has provided input to develop solutions to complete the trail throughout the length of Curry County.
It was Schroeder who told LePage about Collinet and the Muscle Busters group.
"I knew I had to listen." LePage said. "Now (Schroeder) didn't use these exact words, but he essentially told me that the Muscle Busters had been busting their tails for trails."
LePage, who has hiked the entire Oregon Coast Trail from the Columbia River south jetty to the California state line just south of the Winchuck River in 1988 and 2008, said "I can appreciate their work in more ways than one."
The Muscle Busters group was the brainchild of Collinet, a hiker who had relocated to Brookings from Washington state. He began joining in on hikes led by a Curry General Hospital program called Sole Pursuits. Although he enjoyed the walks, he wanted something a bit more strenuous, something that would be a muscle buster. In 2004, with Collinet getting the word out and working with Schroeder not only lead hikes, but do trail work, too.
Trail building projects have included work at Otter Point, Cape Sebastian and along many segments in Boardman State Park.
In addition, Collinet and Schroeder do not limit themselves to the Oregon Coast Trail. Collinet said at the Brookings presentation that with the help of between 20 and 30 people, they had completed the Rogue River Walk in Gold Beach.
The Ernie Drapela Award is the second that Schroeder has received from LePage.
The National Coast Trail Association had already recognized both Schroeder and the Kittels earlier in the last decade with another award andndash; the Sam Dicken Award andndash; that had been created to recognize their contributions as volunteers in developing the Oregon Coast Trail.
That award was named after the University of Oregon geography professor who originated the idea for the Oregon Coast Trail in 1959 and advocated for its development with Oregon State Parks for more than 12 years.

Domestic-violence incident hits close to home
I thought I was pretty familiar with domestic violence. I had read my share of court files that retraced the blows exchanged between partners in crushing play-by-play detail. I've sat with victims who recalled the numerous ways they had been abused — physically, sexually, mentally and emotionally. More than a few times I gathered statistics about domestic violence to bolster a story, the staggering numbers of victims weaving their own tales of despair.
None of this could have prepared me for the vicious, brief incident at a neighbor's house that carried through my open bedroom window a few weeks ago on a brisk evening.
My ears perked when I heard a woman's bloodcurdling screams. I thought it must just be revelers whooping it up while strolling home from a downtown bar.
But that's not what it was. My jaw dropped and I stood motionless as my brain started to process the scene. It was a woman wailing, pleading for someone to stop, that she didn't mean it. The screams were met with a furious man's voice and followed by what sounded like wood being slammed down and splintering. The woman's loud, painful sobs continued for just a minute more. Then, a diesel truck started up with a grumble and retreated quickly down the alley. I watched a man at the house lower a garage door and disappear inside.
It was over as quickly as it started.
The crickets continued cranking out their nighttime tunes. The half-moon still hung low and brightly in the sky.
For a moment more I felt paralyzed, nauseous.
Shakily, I exited the back fence and checked to see if the woman whose voice I heard so clearly a minute before was lying somewhere injured in the alley. There was no one there.
I called the police non-emergency dispatch line and reported what I had heard and where it took place. A dispatcher promised police would do a welfare check.
Sleep didn't come easily that night and I shot up out of bed several times when headlights from passing cars grazed the back alley. I wondered where the woman had gone. Did she get help? Would she come back? What would I do if I saw her? Or him?
"I'm so glad we don't have an abusive relationship," I said to my husband, still in some sort of shock.
"That wouldn't be a relationship," he replied.

newsrel -- Shippers fined $476,750K for violating fuel regulation Posted: 11 Mar 2014 15:50:31
Please consider the following news release from the California Air Resources Board: http://bit.ly/NYazSq -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2014 NEWS RELEASE 14-19 CONTACT: Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 email@example.com Shippers fined $476,750K for violating fuel regulation Ocean-going vessels must use cleaner diesel within Regulated California Waters SACRAMENTO - The California Air Resources Board has fined 12 shipping companies a combined $476,750 USD for failure to switch from dirty diesel "bunker" fuel to cleaner, low-sulfur marine distillate fuel upon entering Regulated California Waters, as required by state law. "Our regulations mandating use of cleaner fuel by ocean-going vessels have greatly helped to improve air quality not only in coastal communities, but also in inland areas," said ARB Enforcement Chief Jim Ryden. "Studies have shown that coastal air pollution travels far inland, so when ships off our shores follow the rules, millions of people benefit." All companies mentioned below took prompt action after being notified of the violations and, under ARB's supervision, began complying with state law. All were fined for either failing to switch to cleaner fuel within 24 nautical miles of the California coast, or for switching fuels in an untimely manner: Univan Maritime Ltd. (Hong Kong) - $78,250 Vessel name: Maersk Wolfsburg Firon Shipping Inc. (Cyprus) c/o XT Shipping Group - $68,000 Vessel name: Blue Diamond W. Bockstiegel GmbH & Co. Reederei KG (Germany) - $55,500 Vessel name: BBC Arizona MK Shipmanagement Co., LTD. (Tokyo) - $53,000 Vessel name: Ocean Seagull Cosco Maritime LTD. (UK) - $34,500 Vessel name: Antwerp Triton Schiffahrts GmbH - $30,250 Vessel name: Eagle Bay Dumun Marine S.A. (Panama) - $30,250 Vessel name: Dumun Peter Doehle Schiffahrts (Germany) - $27,750 Vessel name: Fanfare Byzantine Maritime Corporation (Greece) - $27,750 Vessel name: Ermione Crowley Technical Management, Inc.

(Netherlands) - $23,750 Vessel name: Happy Dynamic YA-SA Tanker and Transportation (Turkey) - $20,000 Vessel name: Golden Horn Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and more than 40 other known cancer-causing compounds. In 1998, California identified diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death and other health problems.

Police check burglary links in Albany woman's killing
ALBANY, Ore. (AP) Police are trying to determine whether the killing of a 36-year-old recent arrival in Albany was linked to a string of break-ins, including two the night of the shooting.
Angela Stephenson was killed early Tuesday. Her 8-year-old son called 911 to report that his mother was bleeding on the kitchen floor and the back door was unlocked.
Police say they haven't established a motive. They say Stephenson moved into town from nearby Jefferson a few months ago.
Police tell the Democrat-Herald that a woman was sexually assaulted by an armed man in one of the break-ins, and in another a 6-year-old boy woke his mother to tell her someone was in the house.

Hi friends, how has been your week so far.
It's been raining on this part of the planet for a few days non stop. In as much as I love it when it rained, I don't fancy the drizzling type, you know those that will keep drizzling throughout the day and gets your plan ruined for the day as you arent sure or when it will stop
I wrote a blog BLOG POST sometimes ago where, I promised to gist you guys about the tidbits of my time when I was absent from blogging
I am going to share with you guys today how a date got wrong. I have particularly not being the dating type, in fact i would say i have dated only one all my life and that couldnt be counted as a date because in my estimation – any date less than 2 months isn 't something that gets recorded in hardisk of my memory.
No,I am not the picky type but then right from my teenage years when i go(t slapped for even daring to express my love to a secondary school classmate in a letter (mobile phones werent as rampant as it is now and only the extremely wealthy has it). D'ont get me wrong, i have actually gets over it but then it led me to a paradigm shift to slow down the teenage adraline rush anf focus on finding a wife instead of caving in to teenage rave of having a girlfriend.
So here is this lady friend of mine, i have actually admire her from a distant. Anyway we got talking and then i want more, this was passive though. However after many months of not even thinking along that line as she once told me she had someone she is dating, i simply quit the desiere of wanting more.
But suddenly i started having dreams about this lady and honestly like said i wasn't even thinking of her at this point. You know it is possible to dream of or about someone you are really thinking alot about. I had this dream about het 3 times, the first time i waved it off as one of those silly dreams, second one i was proposing marriage to her and the third dream i saw myself getting married to her. I was confused because i wasnt even thinking along that line at all. I prayed about it and i had this inner peace about the whole thing.
After some weeks, i discussed about it with some mature christian who encourage me to go speak to her at least. I told them I had spoken to her about 8 months back, her response was negative. They still encourage me to speak with her.
Since she was far away in the east at that point in time , I put a call through and relay my manifesto. She asked for a few weeks to clarify some things. Well, I thought "thats the nornal procedure for ladies any way"
Some weeks later, she called which i missed. I then returned the call few days later and her response was " I am sorry , I dont think i want to be involved in any relationship for now". Which to me according to feminine language means " I would love to be in a relationship but not with you". I thank her for being honest, exchange some pleaseantrites and get off the line.
I felt hurt and at the same time still had this inner peace.. I began throwing some emotional tantrums. I was reflecting on the incident of the day after having supper when this still small voice whisper in my ear
" You were refused because you are not ready".
Whaaattt??!! That voice is unmistakable , it is that of the HolySpirit
I couldn't grasp the essence, depth and meaning of the statement until much more later as I meditate. Is He saying I am not financially, emotionally ready? I have read a copious amount of books on dating, courting and marriage and felt I have a good perspective of how this things work
I then repented on my childish emotional tantrums and decides to ask what HE meant by the statement "You are not ready"
He asked me "I don't offer financial assistant to someone without a concrete business proposal and plan?"
I didnt understand how business and financial assistance has to do with relationship at that moment
He then asked me "Do you have a courtship and marriage blueprint?"
I havent come across this from many of the books and blog I have read on relationahip and marriage
I couldn't gather enough vocal strenght to ask the HS if she is the one or not
Isnt It funny how we react to issues especially relationshipwise. Some times we are not truly prepared for what we prayed about. This is why as christians, we oughf to be patient enough to get Hraven's perspective on every issues in our lives.
I felt whatever He said tobme is applicable to both gender. Are we truly ready for God's promises. If God is preparing a place for us, we ought to be prepared for the place

Unfortunatley,right where one of your good friends has moved to.
The bad thing is,even if she gets a weapon,she will need training and a complete overhaul of her gun use mindset to be able to defend herself.
And,if she is an attractive,young woman,she is a prime target for the very criminals that do this "life sucks,let me kill/rape someone to feel better about it." garbage.
I once worked with a stunning young girl named Heather that one night coming back from a nightclub in D.C. was attacked by several thugs.
Classic carjack deal.
Her boyfriend was killed and she was shot as well.
And when she was on the ground,they shot her several more times just for good measure.
She survived.
I only saw her once after that,about a year later.
I could only look at her and smile that she was alive standing there.
All that for a 'blanking' car.

Foreclosures in North San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County kept up a years-long streak of declines in May, according to a North County Times analysis of data from ForeclosureRadar.
Lenders have been pushing hard to get borrowers to sell for less than they owe in loans, called a short sale, a move which can save money and credit for both sides of the deal. At the same time, delinquencies have been falling, said G. U. Krueger , a housing economist with KruegerEconomics.
"It puts you in a pretty good spot in terms of the healing of home prices," Krueger said. "They're getting less pressure from foreclosures being on the market."
In North County in May, foreclosures fell to 0.25 per 1,000 households, the lowest rate since November 2006, when a foreclosure spike began. The rate was down 71.9 percent from May 2011, and down 43 percent from April.
In Southwest Riverside County, the rate fell to 0.8 per 1,000 households, the lowest rates since September 2006. The rate is down 74.4 percent from May 2011, and down 45.2 percent from April.
The falling number of foreclosures has driven a shrinking inventory of house sales. In April, the most recent data available, the 3,482 listings in North County were down 27 percent from April 2011, according to the North San Diego County Association of Realtors. Real estate agents have been reporting bidding wars on the few remaining houses, though house prices haven't started increasing as a result.
The steady decline of foreclosures through most of 2011 and much of this year suggests a long-held hypothesis among some industry observers that lenders were holding back on foreclosures, may not be true, Krueger said.
"All of these concerns about the shadow supply have turned out to be exaggerated," he said. "At least in North San Diego County, there is no shadow supply."
Foreclosures cost lenders as much as a third of the value of the house while the property is vacant and waiting for sale. As a result, many lenders have been pushing hard on short sales, processing the notoriously slow process faster than in prior years, and creating incentives. Chase Bank and Bank of America occasionally offer delinquent homeowners incentives of up to $30,000 to do a short sale.
The rates of default in both regions rose, breaking a long streak.
In Southwest Riverside County in May, 3.6 per 1,000 households received notices of default from their lenders, the official start of the foreclosure process. That rate is up 0.9 percent from April and 5.3 percent from May 2011.
In North County in May, 1.7 homeowners per 1,000 households received such notices, up 3.9 percent from April and up 11.4 percent from April 2011.
Krueger said the increase in defaults is worth keeping an eye on, but, he said, "I suspect that it's noise."

Wind and weddings are not ideal combinations, but with the wonderful service from DPR, our daughter's wedding turned out beautiful for the bride and groom and comfortable for our guests. Saturday, May 22nd was extremely windy, but the tent stood strong and "saved the day." Jon and his team were very professional and easy to work with. Their service was prompt and efficient. Besides the gorgeous tent, we were very pleased with chairs, tables, lights, heaters, and a huge gas grill. They delivered (and picked up) on time. We would highly recommend their many services.

The first chapter in my ill-fated American harvest book started with: "My mom always made her own maple syrup, or so she said. For her, it was as cheap and easy as boiling sugar and water and throwing in a little artificial extract."
I remembered that this week while feeling very glad Vermont is fighting back against McPorridge, the "maple" alternative to Eggamuffin. State law requires products claiming to be maple to actually contain the syrup. And I can see why that's so important.
Maple syrup is one of those few foods humans cannot force into existence. Trees have to give up their sap under very particular circumstances, and 40 gallons of it have to be boiled down to produce a single gallon of syrup. My consort and I spent a really magical if exhausting day with the Howrigan family near the Canadian border as they went tree to tree in a horse-drawn sleigh collecting buckets of sap in the snow and then boiled it over a wood fire for the best flavor. But that was after a week of waiting for the temperature to drop below freezing at night and rise above 40 in the daytime to get the sap flowing. By then, some sugarers, as they're called, said they were ready to tap a hemlock. If they got no sap, they would have to wait a year for more.
Anyone who wants to throw around the word maple should have to put the syrup where the label is.
All that said, I will confess to keeping a bottle of maple "extract" around to ramp up the flavor in recipes using real maple syrup, like maple shortbread bars. Vermonters use low-grade syrup for baking because it has the most mapley taste, but it's hard to find. And the fancy stuff is best showcased on its own.

In the next 36 days, the Maple Leafs should know what makes Ottawa tick as well as the sprockets inside the Peace Tower clock.
The Leafs play the Senators seven times between tonight and Oct. 26 -- three exhibition and four regular season -- including a home-and-home opening series.
If you missed last year's installment of the Battle of Ontario, the Sens thoroughly dominated 7-1, including four games with at least five goals against the Leafs.
Those lost points underlined the Leafs' difficulties in winning games in their own division and eventually scuttled playoff hopes.
The most excited Leaf tonight will no doubt be defenceman Brendan Bell, returning to his hometown in an NHL sweater for the first time, trying to earn a job and do his part to re-kindle the rivalry.
"It will be important for this team tomorrow night to kick the season off right against those guys," Bell said. "It's a fun rivalry and I hope to get fully immersed in it this year.
"I've got a fresh (playing) perspective on it, but living in Toronto, I know all about it and I get a lot of heat for it back home."
Bell will have the customary ticket request conundrum tonight at Scotia Place.
"I've had a few phone calls from people I haven't heard from in awhile, but I'm letting my family (parents Les and Sheila in Mooney's Bay) take care of that. I grew up watching the Sens and there will be a few people in the stands I know."
Bell is a player the Leafs hope can beat Ottawa at its own game, rapid puck movement. Bell sprung Alex Suglobov in Sunday's Blue and White Game with a perfect breakaway pass.
With the Marlies last year, Bell had 43 points in 70 games.
"I like to make that kind of pass and I'd hoped for a long time that the NHL would take out the red line," Bell said. "That's one of my favourite parts of the game. My game is very well-accustomed to the new NHL and I hope I can take advantage of it."
After the first group of Leaf veterans and rookies were blanked 4-0 by the Buffalo Sabres, the next 20 get their shot tonight.
Mike Peca will make his debut, likely on a line with Jeff O'Neill and Chad Kilger. The latter also is looking at tonight with more than passing interest.
"I ended up finishing the summer skating in Ottawa with a few of the Senators and they joked they'd be seeing a lot of us," Kilger said.
"Things will heat up in the next few days (the Leafs meet the Sens again in Halifax on Sunday) and it's definitely a rivalry, particularly those guys who've been here three or four years. We'd love to win these games, but they're also exhibitions and we're looking to improve, progressing towards Oct. 4."

NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Bernard Madoff's claim he launched his Ponzi scheme during the recession of the early 1990s has been contradicted by a long-time employee, U.S. officials say.
Federal prosecutors said David Kugel, a former supervisory trader at Madoff's investment firm, is cooperating with authorities and would to plead guilty in Manhattan federal court on Monday, the New York Post reported.
In a letter to the judge, prosecutors said Kugel will admit to conspiring in Madoff's record $65 billion fraud "beginning in the early 1970s through December 2008."
Kugel allegedly made more than $8 million working for Madoff and pocketed more than $13 million in phony profits after investing $25,000 with him in 1977, court papers show.
Kugel faces a sentence of up to 85 years in prison.

We have recently begun working on a complex web application project, that uses SilverStripe as the underlying framework. To help with this work, and some of our other projects, we're seeking an experienced PHP developer, and obviously it would be great to have someone with SilverStripe experience.
The position would be a full time salaried position with Freeform Solutions, a not-for-profit corporation in Canada that provides IT consulting services to other not-for-profits.
The project involving SilverStripe is guaranteed to continue through to about September this year, and may very well go much longer, but that is dependent on funding for that particular project. However, the position itself would be an ongoing position with Freeform, regardless of the lifecycle of that one SilverStripe project.

This is BRANDON DARBY.
This is BRANDON DARBY. He is an FBI informant that often infiltrates leftist spaces. HE WAS RECENTLY SPOTTED AT A TRAYVON MARTIN RALLY IN TEXAS. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR HIM.
An article widely circulated among activists by Courtney Morris, How Misogynists Make Great Informants, is ABOUT THIS MAN.
Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: How Gender Violence on the Left Enables State Violence in Radical Movements
In January 2009, activists in Austin, Texas, learned that one of their own, a white activist named Brandon Darby, had infiltrated groups protesting the Republican National Convention (RNC) as an FBI informant. Darby later admitted to wearing recording devices at planning meetings and during the convention. He testified on behalf of the government in the February 2009 trial of two Texas activists who were arrested at the RNC on charges of making and possessing Molotov cocktails, after Darby encouraged them to do so. The two young men, David McKay and Bradley Crowder, each faced up to fifteen years in prison. Crowder accepted a plea bargain to serve three years in a federal prison; under pressure from federal prosecutors, McKay also pled guilty to being in possession of unregistered Molotov cocktails and was sentenced to four years in prison. Information gathered by Darby may also have contributed to the case against the RNC 8, activists from around the country charged with conspiracy to riot and conspiracy to damage property in the furtherance of terrorism. Austin activists were particularly stunned by the revelation that Darby had served as an informant because he had been a part of various leftist projects and was a leader at Common Ground Relief, a New Orleansbased organization committed to meeting the short-term needs of community members displaced by natural disasters in the Gulf Coast region and dedicated to rebuilding the region and ensuring Katrina evacuees right to return.

4. These types have always been around, I guess. The ol' 'Give it up for the Revolution' gambit.
If not given into, a collection of ideological and gender based smears followed any refusal. IOW, the person being hit upon is a traitor to the Cause, not pure enough.
Ran a lot of people off and caused a lot of division. It's still going on in other ways, will likely always go on. It's just another divide and conquer technique.
Looking out for agent provocateurs in any kind of venue is not paranoia, it's survival. The first thing taught as e trained for our anti-war, civil rights and environmental actions was that anyone trying to incite violence, is THE MAN.
Shun him, don't fall for the passion or go for the drama. He is NOT your ally and is looking to discredit what you're doing.

7. Both informants and undercover LEOs have been around for a long time
A friend in Vietnam Veterans Against the War was involved in planning large protests in D.C. back then, and along with reps of other peace groups attended pre-protest meetings with law enforcement reps. In the next few years, my friend said, he learned that more than half of the protesters' reps actually were undercover law enforcement officers from various agencies.
I suspect that even my friend turned informant at one point. He was set up for a drug bust by undercover agents, but the one thing he didn't explain, either in his published memoir or in talks with those who knew him, was how he got out of the charges.

6. Darby is one of my absolutely favorite right-wing creeps
I was collecting notes on him last year when he and Lee Stranahan were responsible for the anti-Occupy smear job, Occupy Unmasked, done on behalf of the late Andrew Breitbart. Here's something Stranahan wrote at one of the Breitbart websites, whining about how his sock puppet here at DU had a post deleted in which he defended Darby:
21 Feb 2012
The popular liberal website Democratic Underground had a vicious, factually inaccurate post about Bigs contributor Brandon Darby and our work on the story of assaults at Occupy. I decided to correct these errors and my post was promptly banned by a "jury" at Democratic Underground and hidden from view; another clear example of the constant liberal censorship and how the entire left seems intent on covering up assaults at Occupy.
The original thread started Saturday was entitled Why are FBI agent provocateurs taunting Occupy? was started by a user named FarLeftFist, who wrote: "A little background: Brandon was outed as an FBI agent after posing as an Leftist activist in 2008. He threw a number of people in jail as an agent provocateur and now spends his time working for Andrew Breitbart and still works undercover. He spends his time on Twitter along with Andrew Breitbart taunting Leftists and posting smears ALL DAY LONG. Him and Andy also spend alot of time along with Dana Loesch having twitter-wars with Keith Olbermann and others. I have been involved in these back and forths as a twitter user myself. They get nasty, ugly, and even threatening as Darby and Breitbart unleash their moronic henchmen on anyone they choose" . . .
So, I had a Democratic Underground account I started a couple of years ago but haven't used. I decided it was time to post. I said: ". . . And now you attack a guy -- Brandon -- who STOPPED people from using Molotov Cocktails. That's the 'snitching' he did; stopping admitted, convicted liars who wanted to perpatrate violence. Is violence okay if Republicans are your targets? Stop acting like sheep and believing the radical left's lies."
In less than an hour, I relieved the following, telling me that my post was hidden by a "randomly selected jury." The Kafkaesque anonymous cyber tribunal didn't ask me to testify or ask any questions. Such is left wing "justice."

8. And here's something about when Darby was sniffing around Occupy Oakland
Nov 15th, 2011
Someone who personally knows Brandon Darby said they spotted him sniffing around Occupy Oakland in October. This month he's asking right wingers to help fund his attacks on the occupy movement with a sustained visit to the Bay Area. Not only is Brandon Darby an asshole, con man, double-crosser, entrapper, and snitch of the highest order, but now he's looking to build himself up as an "indie" reporter on the right, backed by some other creep called Lee Stranahan. Darby is hoping to feed outlets like Glen Beck and Breitbart with steady diet of red meat about the evils of Occupy Oakland and Occupy SF. It's not yet known if he has found enough gullible half-wits to fund his continued misadventures, but people at Northern California occupations should be on the lookout. Here are some photographs of Darby so you can better recognize him. He is starting to look somewhat older, he may be with or without beard, with or without sunglasses, and he seems to like beanies and caps. He or someone near him will probably have a video camera. This is your fair warning to shun and avoid this sneaky and shady character. Tell a friend about Brandon Darby.

9. Darby's pal Stranahan outed the cousin molested by George Zimmerman
I would guess that whatever is going on isn't just a matter of Darby doing his provocateur act. I suspect he and Stranahan are hoping for an opportunity to smear the Justice for Trayvon Martin movement in general -- probably by accusing it of being yet another ACORN operation.
If I were among the protesters, I'd also be on the lookout for James O'Keefe, who was also sniffing around Occupy Wall Street back in 2011 in association with the other Breitbart people.

11. A few more dots to connect
A self-justification Darby originally wrote for Breitbart's Big Government can be found at http://www.grouchyconservativepundits.com/index.php?topic=4367.0;wap2.
It runs through his claims of having had a run-in with ACORN in New Orleans after Katrina when he was still ostensibly a leftist, says that his growing disillusionment with the left after he returned to Texas led him to become an FBI informant, and ends by smearing activist Lisa Fithian.
And here's something from Matthew Vadum praising Darby and Stranahan. Vadum is the person who did more than anyone else to destroy ACORN and is the inventor of the complicated conspiracy theories involving people like Frances Fox Piven that Glenn Beck has been responsible for giving wider distribution. Beck has more or less said that Vadum taught him everything he knows.
A year ago, Vadum recommended the Darby/Stranahan radio show, writing, "Darby is the former radical community organizer who helped undermine an anarchist plot to attack the 2008 Republican convention in Minnesota as revealed in my book, Subversion Inc.: How Obamas ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers (WND Books)." (https://www.capitalresearch.org/2012/04/darbystranahan/)
So if Darby has been seen crawling around, this is not just some random FBI provocation. This is the usual suspects looking to paste the Trayvon Martin protests into their all-embracing conspiracy theories and using them to smear Occupy and/or the Democratic Party. (They don't much seem to care which.) The protesters are well-advised to be on their guard.

17. I very much doubt Darby is an FBI infiltrator at this point
It's absolutely true that any protest movement needs to assume it's riddled with infiltrators and act accordingly. But Darby is something different. Once he'd done his original provocateur thing, he was of no further use to the FBI. They presumably cast him loose at that point -- and Breitbart came to his rescue. Now that Breitbart is gone, he seems to be dealing with Glenn Beck. But whatever the details, he seems to be primarily functioning as a smear artist, trying to find dirt on dissidents and cast them in the most embarrassing possible light. He's a slightly less erratic version of James O'Keefe and correspondingly more dangerous.

13. Dear Stupid Fucks -- Somebody once told us that for every person who learns by reading,
there are a few who learn by observation, and most of the rest just have to try peeing on an electric fence themselves before they believe you when you tell them it's not a good idea to pee on the third rail in the underground
We are, of course, sad to hear that your young chums have been imprisoned -- though it's likely we would have actually broken out in tears had we heard instead they seriously injured someone with Molotov cocktails -- and so we thought we'd offer some advice, on the off-chance that some of you sometimes learn by reading
(1) It is almost impossible to make an articulate and convincing argument with Molotov cocktails. Whenever you find yourself thinking that burning down Moe's diner will make everybody nicer, will encourage some chef somewhere to cook kickass apple pies and sell huge slices at giveaway prices, and will bring the neighborhood around to your way of thinking, ask a friend to smack you in the nose and yell You stupid fuck! -- because what WILL happen, if you carry through on your shit-headed plan, is that most people will conclude there is something wrong with your head, lots of them will hope you should be shot down like rapid dogs, nobody will care why you did it, and anybody who's been seen with you will be demonized as murderous arsonists by the opposition. It's not merely a waste of energy: it's counter-productive
(2) Objectively speaking, the shithead who is trying to talk you into manufacturing Molotov cocktails is not your friend. He may be an otherwise nice person with some screws loose; he may be somebody trying to disrupt your movement; he may be any number of things, but friend he is not. We aren't lawyers, and don't want to practice law without a license, so if you need real legal advice, talk to somebody who's actually passed the bar, but we will say:
(2a) entrapment law is tricky: yes! there is such a thing as entrapment but no! an entrapment defense probably won't work for you when you want to argue that somebody talked you into manufacturing Molotov cocktails; and
(2b) if some shithead is going around trying to talk folk into manufacturing Molotov cocktails, and you know about it, and then somebody does it, you might find yourself facing a conspiracy charge, unless you make it damn clear you completely oppose such a thing and won't have any part of it

21. if you mean, did i just write it, the answer is yes. if you mean, did i just invent all that stuff,
the answer is, more or less, no: lots of it is common knowledge from the sixties movements, with some stuff i learned by reading nelson mandela, all stuck under a somewhat garbled version of a famous will rogers quote

25. So Darby is popping up again?
I just checked, he's working for Breitbart now.
Looks like they're infested with right wing, anti-civil rights trolls and outright Russian collaborators.

Investigative reporter and author Michael Hastings has died following a car accident. He was working as BuzzFeed's correspondent-at-large and a Rolling Stone contributor.
Hastings was the author of The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan and I Lost My Love in Baghdad. Hastings made headlines in 2010 for his Rolling Stone article "The Runaway General," a story that ultimately cost General Stanley A. McChrystal his command. At Reddit, Hastings shared this advice for writers:
Mainly you really have to love writing and reporting. Like it's more important to you than anything else in your life–family, friends, social life, whatever … Learn to embrace rejection as part of the gig. Keep writing/pitching/reading.
