The SBI has been asked to step in to review allegations about the misuse of county credit cards and a string of gas receipts within the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office.
The SBI has been asked to step in to review allegations about the misuse of county credit cards and a string of gas receipts within the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office.
District Attorney Ernie Lee and Chief Assistant District Attorney Michael Maultsby met with Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown and one of his high-ranking officials, Col. Boyd Brown, Tuesday morning at Lee�s office for almost two hours to review the allegations, according to a press release by Lee�s office that afternoon.
County Attorney Lesley Moxley also attended �part of the same meeting,� according to the release.
�On Aug. 18, 2014, I received a letter from the Sheriff indicating that pursuant to his review of the allegations, he requested to meet with me,� Lee wrote in the release. �I was able to schedule a meeting for Aug. 19. On Aug. 19, the Sheriff provided documents, financial records and reports to the District Attorney�s Office for my review. After meeting with the Sheriff, I have contacted the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation with a request to investigate this matter and assist in reviewing the financial records.�
The Daily News began a series of public-records requests for Sheriff�s Office credit-card statements about 11:30 a.m. Aug. 11.
Sheriff Ed Brown has been reviewing the agency�s gas receipts, he confirmed last week but gave conflicting reports as to whether his employees were under investigation.
As to the nature of what findings Brown seeks in the review, Lee declined to comment last week.
Brown previously said the review of gas receipts was not limited to one employee, began about a month ago and is one of myriad tasks required of the sheriff. He has told The Daily News the process was routine and that it involved more than one person and that he had �a list of a seven people,� according to previous Daily News reports.
Last week, Brown declined to provide information about the rank, departments or reason for investigating the group, according to previous Daily News reports.
He added that he would not release information until he finished the task.

One of the first things I noticed when I started working at Free People was how different everyone's style is here at home office. You could give every single one of us an LA Nite Tank and we'd each style it in a completely different way. It's what makes us all unique, and it's what makes this office a never-ending source of inspiration. I asked a few of the girls in the office to share one little thing they do – whether it's with their hair, accessories, or clothes – to make their style their own.
Above: Jill, Design Intern
"I love personalizing my look by layering outfits with old band tees! My favorite move is throwing a vintage top over my Free People slips and dresses, which occupy most of my wardrobe. I'm a huge music buff, so this idea is a great conversation starter. Plus it makes outfits one-of-a-kind, so I never run into someone wearing the same thing as me. This Rolling Stones shirt is from our Vintage Loves collection, and it's the perfect piece to disguise that I am wearing a nightgown as daywear! :)"
Above: Jana, Blogger
"A while back, I bought a bunch of rawhide cording to use for making jewelry. Ever since then, I've been using the leftover cording to accessorize with. Sometimes I'll tie a long piece of it together and wrap it multiple times around my wrist to make a bracelet, or I'll braid some pieces together to make tassels. I've been wearing one on my backpack more recently, but I like to tie them to the straps of bags, as well. I like that I can add my own personal touch with something so simple."
Above: Kate, Assistant Accessories Buyer
"I love wearing my hair down, but that can get boring pretty easily, so I mix it up by adding random braids all over. I change up the amount and positioning of the braids, giving my hair an entirely new look every time!"
Lastly, I'm a thrift maniac, and I'm constantly finding printed maxi skirts and dresses that I fall in love with. Oftentimes the pieces fall at an awkward spot that isn't flattering on me, so I just take a pair of scissors and chop them up for a whole new look. This way, not only are these pieces unique because they're vintage, they're also unique because they have a totally new silhouette!

Reaction to the US handgun issue: The right to bear arms
The right to bear arms is a constitutional right in which Americans believe very strongly.
I viewed with some amazement a speech made by President Clinton following the tragic Arkansas shooting when he said that there had been three similar gun attacks in schools in the past few months. He then went on to say that he would have to set up a team to find out what connected the incidents. I shouted at the TV set "GUNS, are you stupid!", but then I thought about it a bit more, and that is why I have voted against a ban.
When the Constitution gave citizens the right to bear arms, it was referring to the formation of a militia, and the 'arms' were muskets! Guns are intended for violence, and only perpetuate it. Ten children a day die from handgun accidents; that is ten deaths too many that could be prevented if people would stop keeping guns in their home. There is no excuse for keeping a gun in your home in this day and age.
In a word; NO. The question is, in fact, equivalent to "Should America Ban Breathing?". The most fundamental right of any organism is to protect and maintain its existence. For human beings, so long as one does not initiate force, no tool towards that end may be barred from one's use. Indeed, within the context of a Free People and a Just Government, I refer you to the following quote from an obscure English anti-government wacko: "The right of self-defence is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and when the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." Henry St. George Tucker, in Blackstone's 1768 "Commentaries on the Laws of England."
Let's see. Some other countries that ban/restrict private ownership of guns.....North Korea, China, Taiwan, Bosnia, Haiti....let freedom ring!
Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are risks associated with living in a democracy. This is one of them.
I don't know about Europe, but the easy availability of handguns in the USA scares me. They are prevalent here despite the fact that concealed weapons are banned. The propaganda put forward by the American Rifle Association is an unbelievable mess of jingoism and deliberate avoidance of the truth. The two children who shot their schoolmates in Arkansas are being dismissed as a pair of pranksters. The fact that they were allowed easy access to weapons is dismissed as their family 'rights'. Thank goodness I live in a fairly isolated town.
I stood by my country during the Vietnam War. My country then trusted me to be armed and trained in the use of arms. I later became a Police Officer and again was trusted to be armed. However today I am retired. Am I to be no longer trusted, to defend my own home as I was trusted to defend my country and society? If my government can no longer trust me, then I can no longer trust my government.
The constitutional right to bear arms is an historical irrelevance, as many legal things are once two centuries old. There is still an active law here banning Welsh people from the town of Chester (an English town near the Welsh border) after night fall. No-one would exercise this law now, because it is irrelevant and its use would look foolish. It tells us something about the nature of life back then, but tells us nothing about what life is like today.
How dare you question our rights to own handguns! Freedom, baby, freedom!! "He who gives up his liberties for the sake of security deserves neither". My government will never kick my butt! Can you say the same...I think not! I will never give up my 2nd amendment rights without a fight. Don't be misled by the liberal media. Americans in the Heartland are not even debating this issue...it is dead in the water. I could go on forever, but I only get madder and madder thinking about it. So take care of your own and we will do the same.
It's because I own and carry a handgun that I am still here to write this. I was attacked by two people. One was armed with a knife, the other with a pipe. When I pulled my .45 and aimed it at the centre of the person with the knife, the attack stopped. If I was unarmed, I would be dead now and my two children would be fatherless. It is our right to keep and bear arms in the United States. It's that right which keeps our Constitution in place. It is the arms in private citizens' hands that keep us free from government oppression.
Have we lost sight of the fact that "rights" can be negative to society? I am not a pacifist, but who of sound mind can go on defending the right of people to carry "equipment" designed for no other purpose than to injure & kill. Would anyone seriously suggest that we allow a person to pollute the atmosphere simply because he has the "right" to like black smoke?
Hitler first disarmed the people then he built the concentration camps. In 1942 the US government also built concentration camps. Consider also the genocide against the Native Americans. George Washington said that no government can be trusted. Besides all that, our people had a right to bear arms before this government existed- we aim to keep that right at any cost.
It may sound a little paranoid but it is the ultimate freedom to know that the government is beholden to its people because they have the ability of armed insurrection. I am quite sure that Americans have enjoyed greater freedoms because of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
The ban of hand guns is yet another step down the road to serfdom. We will give up our every right for the promise of a safer tomorrow. And that promise is always fraudulent.
America cannot legally ban the handgun unless and until congress and the nation vote to change the Bill of Rights, where the second amendment ... A WELL REGULATED (armed) MILITIA (citizen army) BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED ... is the guarantor of the rest of the constitution. In fact, it was the only amendment where the approval was unanimous. Think about it, what enemy foreign or domestic would be foolhardy enough to launch a frontal assault on a well armed citizenry? The criminal element lies not in firearms, but rather in the removal of personal responsibility for one's actions and from the removal of God from our classrooms, government and society.
The right to bear arms is our constitutional right. The need to bear arms is a national and international disgrace.
When this country is run by fascists we'll be wishing we hadn't given up our personal defence. We've had it easy for a long time. But we cannot assume that our country is immune from being oppressed by a government, members of whom are the only ones allowed to carry firearms. If you outlaw firearms, only outlaws (and the government) will have firearms. I'd rather defend myself than take my chances with statistics.
A country often has the government and laws it deserves. Since a majority of Americans apparently believe that an archaic constitutional right to bear muskets implies the right to almost unrestricted firearm ownership, I'm going to sit back, laugh and enjoy watching the macabre spectacle in the south unfold. Against stupidity, even the gods struggle in vain.
Despite lawyerish weasel arguments to the contrary, the Constitution guarantees a pre-existing right to bear firearms. The question of a ban is therefore moot. The threat to the freedom of law-abiding residents in the US comes from an insidious imposition of arbitrary administrative restrictions. Such a process is both undemocratic and a contemptuous insult to the people. Personal protection of oneself and one's family is the responsibility of the individual alone. The police are neither capable nor mandated to provide individual protection. Responsible gun ownership provides the individual, if he or she so chooses, with the only truly effective counter to the very real and potentially devastating personal effects of an encounter with the predatory and often evil criminal elements in society. The entire issue is too serious to be compared to the actions of children in Arkansas. The guns are not the problem it is the human beings. Jamie Bulger was beaten to death by children using blocks of concrete. Should building materials be banned?
Although I advocate the banning of handguns in the USA I don't believe that there is enough political will by either party to pursue it. They would lose too much of their grass roots support because most Americans use the Constitution as a basis for their rights. Taking away the right to bear arms knock on government control and anti-freedom.
Current gun laws in the USA are stricter than they were 30 or 40 years ago. It was possible at one time to purchase a gun through the mail. Of course then there was less crime but people took responsibility for themselves and their actions. The government didn't try to run everyone's life back then. And yes, in the bible Jesus tells a man to sell his cloak and buy a sword so that he may defend and protect his family. I also have one question for all you detractors, if the USA is such an uncivilised, dangerous and backward country why do millions of people from every country in the world want to live here?
Since there is no gun violence problem, I would invite Mr Ratner to visit any one of our many inner-city areas, where he will not have to fear for his life. Seriously, though, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States states, as its raison d'etre, the establishment and maintenance of local militia. Isn't this already filled by the state National Guard units?
The right to bear arms is a Revolutionary War-era law which has been a disaster in modern times. Our forefathers never envisioned that it would lead to children killing children.
I have felt for many a year that the second amendment to the US constitution should be repealed, and the recent events in Arkansas have done nothing to dissuade me of that belief. The current state of affairs is not what the founding fathers of the United States had in mind. The second amendment grants Americans the right to bear arms "in order to maintain a well regulated militia." A militia force was of paramount importance during the birth of the nation, but it is a role more or less filled in these times by the National Guard, a reserve military unit called into active duty when and if situations warrant.
With 230,000,000 hand guns in America, it would be impossible to confiscate them all without a house-to-house search. I, for one, would never give them (plural) up. Like most Texans, owning guns is a part of the Sacred Honour of being an American. My children and their children do not have access to my arsenal. Only by force would I give up my guns. AMEN.
God-given right? Since when is it Christian to kill?
Here in Boston, we have constant reminders of the tyranny that was once imposed upon us by your country. It was that tyranny that gave rise to our revolution and ultimately our Constitution with its Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment of our Constitution gives every citizen of our nation the right to bear arms. An armed citizenry is our check against tyranny.
I am appalled at the thought that people feel that it is a part of their "freedom" to carry a gun and own one. Here in Australia we know only too well the consequences of that form of thinking.
NO, handguns should NOT be banned in the US (or anywhere). They will always exist. Even a complete ban puts them only in the hands of criminals. We are supposedly at war against drugs. Look how many are still made here as well as imported. Did anyone learn anything from Prohibition?
No. It was interesting, when we visited the UK last year, to see your Eye-Spy programme, with all those poor shopkeepers outgunned by robbers-but it's not a situation I would care to replicate in my country, thank you. I'll keep my handgun-and I'll train my children properly.
Contrary to common belief, the Second Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to bear arms. The amendment refers to "a well-regulated militia" (too many people neglect to read the first clause), and therefore guarantees a corporate or collective right, rather than an individual right. This is an opinion that has been upheld by the Supreme Court in numerous cases.
When are Europeans going to get it through their heads that this issue goes deeper than being able to own a gun. It's about rights!! I don't own a gun and personally I have no desire to run out and buy one. That is my decision. Take away the right of a law-abiding citizen to own a gun and pretty soon the government will be looking for something else to take away until we are left with nothing.
For many Americans gun violence is considered a social problem. Like many social ills the problem lies with someone else and not with ourselves. "It's the pistol in the hands of a criminal and not the handgun in our closet that's the problem.", we say to ourselves. I, like many Americans own rifles and handguns but often one weapon out of millions falls into the wrong hands and tragedy results. Perhaps we consider the violence that occurs as acceptable casualties for our Constitutional rights. The American tradition of gun ownership and gun violence can perhaps only be understood by Americans. For the United States guns are one of our few lasting traditions and for better or for worse help define our national character.
First of all, I have to laugh at the nonsensical debate of other countries over US law. If you don't like our laws, so be it. I understand enough about some of your laws to really not care about non-American opinion regarding internal US policy. And if you want to worship/follow a system of government based on thousand-year old notions of inherited domain, so be it. My ancestors didn't like it, neither would I.
Similarly, you don't live here, and I for one thank God for it. We Americans have enough nit-wit wanna-be socialists that want to run everyone else's lives for them. They all have short memories and forget too easily what freedom is about, and how much they have benefited by the firearms we possess and the other freedoms those firearms have protected over the years. But America's "Gun Culture" sure as hell helped the Brits and Western Europe out only 50 years ago, remember Dunkirk? All the donated firearms from US households that helped prevent the UK from celebrating Oktoberfest today? I don't mean to dwell on the past, but come off it.
Guns in America save far more than they kill and anyone who makes an honest effort to study the issue knows this.
As always, the problem is with the user and not the tool. Are we going to ban 'straight-razors' because 'Sweeney Todd' was not in control of all of his faculties?
Approximately 20,000 Americans a year are murdered. The figure for Great Britain is less than 1,000. America has roughly five times the population of Britain. Americans are not more violent than the British, yet when they commit acts of violence the results are usually far more definitive due to the widespread availability of firearms. The notion that the Constitution guarantees the right to carry arms ignores the fact that today the government is armed with more than muskets. They will always have the greater fire power. But the profusion of hand guns certainly does not make the USA a safer place. It makes it more violent and easier for the young, the criminal and the insane to indulge in more dangerous acts of violence. Maybe it is time to amend the Constitution.
Some of my fellow countrymen are exhibiting their usual muddled thinking and knee-jerk reactionary tendencies on this one.
It amuses me to know that more people died through gun violence in the last year in the States than have died in 25 years of "Troubles" in Northern Ireland. If people really believe that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" then what does that really say about the Americans as a people?
It is bad policy to make law on extremely rare events. Like it or not, law-abiding citizens who legally obtain guns don't shoot people for kicks! And a law banning guns and rifles will not deter the criminal -- the overwhelming majority of whom obtain weapons illegally so that they don't register their name with the gun.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson
The US sees itself as leading the world into the new millenium. Its claim to do so is valid, given the amazing durability of its Constitution, and the equally amazing energy of its people. But it is completely ridiculous to believe that future generations will not look back and regard the freedom that Americans have to hold guns to kill each other as a wild anachronism. People will look at it as they now look back on slavery - a fundamental attack on human rights.
Perhaps the country that gave the world Neville Chamberlain and later rejected Winston Churchill will never understand: The purpose of our Second Amendment is to make sure that we can defend ourselves against the abuses of OUR OWN GOVERNMENT! Anyone familiar with our current crop of politicians who is intelligent enough to walk and chew gum at the same time will have no trouble understanding my meaning.
Two of the main reasons (besides the grace of God) that I survived the "LA Riots" in 1992 without a scratch were two Browning 9mm pistols with 15-round magazines. The others were an SKS rifle and a 12 ga Remington 870 shotgun. All of them, "evil assault weapons". When rioters saw that my friend and I were armed and ready to use the guns if need be, they decided to find safer places to destroy. I never had to fire a shot, just their presence was enough of a deterrent. The police were nowhere to be seen. The mayor, governor and president did nothing to help until the trouble was over. Relying on "government" to protect you can get you killed. The Nazis had gun control. Need I say more?
Why do people harp on about their right to carry arms? Surely the US has a right to protect the public by removing these guns from circulation.
History has shown that our 2nd Amendment keeps the USA free and prosperous. The USA has kept Europe and much of the rest of the world Free. How many of you outside the US really want a weakened demoralized and ineffectual America?
I am genuinely appalled at the lack of constitutional knowledge of a minority of those who've replied to this question. There are those who decry our constitution and lament that we even have one. I'm glad you don't live here.

Hey everyone, I am currently making a 2D game (again), but currently my guy can only jump around in the empty 640X480 screen. I don't want to hard-code a map into the game (which would really suck), but I don't want just a few rectangles for obstacles or something. So for a map format, I was thinking of how I might be able to easily edit a map and add miniscule details, and I thought of creating a 640X480 monochrome bitmap and using the "colors" to define which areas (pixels) are obstacles, i.e. you can't go through them. That way I could edit a map using Paint, and I wouldn't have to make a level editor or anything.
Is this a good idea, or should I think of something else?

Your destination has been shown in the above screenshot - it is located in the Western part of the South Quarter, in [South Quarter / Riverside - Riverside Rooftops]. The way to get there has been presented in the description of the game's storyline, at the page entitled reach the South Quarter (a visit to the City after you have completed the game's second chapter ).

Stop after you reach the big balcony shown in the above screenshot, where there is an opponent with a crossbow (occasionally, also another guard will appear here). Wait for him to go left, hop over the Southern balustrade and turn West. Go through the narrow path between buildings and force the window, along your way, open.
After you walk through the window, you will walk into a new location [South Quarter / Riverside - Riverside Rooftops]. Jump down to a lower level here and turn towards the Southern ledge. Climb onto that ledge and force a new window open, which will gain you access to the poet's apartment [South Quarter / Riverside - Poet's Abode].
In the poet's apartment, there are a few items, i.e. a Knife - 2G, a Water Arrow, a Hairbrush - 10G, a Newspaper - Beware of Over-active Imaginations! And a painting (The Court of Montonessi - Rutting Out of Season), which you can obtain only by using the razor. The most important, however, is to obtain the five fragments of a poem and many of them are, unfortunately, well hidden. The first fragment (South Quarter - Poem Fragment One) is on the cupboard shown in the above screenshot, which is located at the apartment's upper floor. Garrett needs to climb onto that cupboard.
The second fragment (South Quarter - Poem Fragment Two) can be found in the chest at the apartment's upper level.
The third fragment (South Quarter - Poem Fragment Three) can be found at the apartment's upper level, on the floor on the right side of the bed. This one is hidden behind another item so, it is not that easily spotted.
The fourth fragment (South Quarter - Poem Fragment Four) can be found in the secret area at the apartment's lower level. You can access this room by using the wrench on the venting shaft grate shown in the above screenshot. Walk through the shaft and close the chest that you find there, thanks to which you will locate the document.
The final, fifth fragment (South Quarter - Poem Fragment Five - 50G) is in the desk's drawer, at the apartment's lower level. At this point, this mission ends.

Spec a year away for 40/100G Ethernet
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. The group developing a spec to drive Ethernet at rates of 40 and 100 Gbits/second reports significant progress from its last meeting, but it may take at least another nine months to cook a standard that could be the basis for first-generation products.
That's the update from John D'Ambrosia, chair of the IEEE 803.2ba committee. "We made a lot of forward progress at the last meeting," D'Ambrosia said.
"I was very excited to see the group moving forward because it gives me a little room," he added. "I still have people breathing down my neck for a schedule."
Currently, D'Ambrosia estimates 802.3ba could approve a preliminary work group draft as early as March and a more final sponsor draft in November 2009. As usual with standards-in-progress, when engineers decide the drafts are solid enough to implement products "depends on when people feel they can take a risk," he said.
The group is trying to define a common set of standards for both 40 and 100G Ethernet. However, it will have to define specifics particular to different configurations of target data rates and distances over specific media types.
For example, the group currently has two proposals for running 40G over 10 kilometers, a serial approach and another using four 10G lanes. "This is an interesting debate for us to have," said D'Ambrosia.
Indeed, the group has yet to face many decisions about the extent it uses multiple lanes of existing 10G Ethernet or pushes for a move to 20, 25, 40 or even 100G serial approaches over any given copper or optical media. The group also will consider backplane standards.
"People have worked on 10G but not using it in multiple lanes," D'Ambrosia said. So eventually engineers may be "looking at a lot of work aggregating 10G lanes," he said.
Designers in optical media will need to explore the possibilities for four 25G lanes supporting 10-40 kilometers. Its likely multimode fibre designs will be asked to support ten 10G lanes for some runs of 100G Ethernet, D'Ambrosia said.
So far, the .3ba group has defined a baseline for a physical coding sublayer that provides a lane-binding mechanism for both 40 and 100G rates. It has also adopted a media independent interface proposal that provides a logical definition but does not define the electrical details.
Several other baseline proposals are pending. The group has yet to define an attachment unit interface that would provide a chip-to-chip link at 40 and 100G, similar to the XAUI standard in use for 10G today. It also needs to define a physical media attachment layer which acts as a multiplexing block.
Attendance at the .3ba meetings continues to grow with about 20 additional people at the last meeting. D'Ambrosia said he expects as many as 200 will attend the next plenary session.

Goodyear Developing Self-Inflating Tire
Tire manufacturing giant Goodyear has developed new technology that allows tires to inflate themselves. Drivers who choose to equip their vehicles with Goodyear tires with Air Maintenance Technology (AMT) will have no need to keep a tire gauge handy, and trips to the gas station air-compressor will become a thing of the past.
While the physical mechanics of a self-inflating tire are complicated, the basic idea behind the principal is simple. AMT is basically a mini air compressor contained within the tire itself. The compressor is powered by essentially converting the rolling energy of the tire into electricity. While extreme off road vehicles like the Hummer H1 have featured on-board compressors for a long time, Goodyear's new technology is the first unit that is fully contained with the tire itself. There are no external hoses, compressors, or power sources involved with AMT.
According to AAA, over 80 percent of cars have at least one tire that is underinflated. While one low tire may not seem like a big deal, it an have a serious impact on your wallet. According to government research from the United States Department of Energy, underinflated tires can create a 2.5 - 3.3 percent decrease in fuel efficiency, as much as 12 cents per gallon. If left uncorrected, it can cost drivers some real money.
While Goodyear doesn't know when the tires will be available on the commercial market, the date has been accelerated thanks to new grants from United States and European governments. Goodyear is very excited about this development, and hopes that drivers will embrace the technology. "A tire that can maintain its own inflation is something drivers have wanted for many years. Goodyear has taken on this challenge and the progress we have made is very encouraging," said Kihn. "This will become the kind of technological breakthrough that people will wonder how they ever lived without."

Incapable of making real headway in the smartphone market, which is still heavily dominated by Samsung and Apple, Nokia is also very carefully planning its first dive in the tablet sea. There've been rumors floating around about a Nokia slate since the Stone Age of tabs, but apparently the Finns are still not sure what path to follow.
Android has always been a possibility, though it doesn't seem very realistic anymore, Windows RT rumors increased in intensity a few months ago, followed by numerous reports starring a mystery Win 8 Nokia tab.
And now we're again hearing word about a Lumia slate running Win RT. Carrying a secretive and rather bizarre codename (RX-114), said gadget has been spotted in GFXBench's database and appears to be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
Quite a massive step up compared with existing RT-based slates (like the Tegra 3-toting Microsoft Surface RT), but sadly the display of this Nokia RX-114 doesn't look so promising. The resolution is listed at a weird 1,371 x 771 pixels, which will likely be rounded up to the same 1,366 x 768 of the Surface RT. That's just disappointing, isn't it?
Before getting too worried (or on the contrary, too excited), do keep in mind that Nokia is yet to make this tablet official. And while we don't suspect the benchmark to be phony, the RX-114 could well be an early prototype abandoned by its makers a long time ago.

Big spenders return to high street
Shoppers have been opening their wallets at the fastest pace in six months, giving retailers the biggest confidence boost in more than a decade. In its latest survey of retailers, the CBI found that sales rose strongly in the year to August and that the pace of growth was expected to accelerate again next month.
The improvement was regarded as more than a blip by retailers, which were more optimistic about their prospects for the next quarter than at any time since May 2002.
Katja Hall, deputy director-general of the CBI, said: "The high streets have been bustling with shoppers this summer and it is good to see firms so optimistic about their business prospects for the next three months."
Fifty-one per cent of respondents…

AUSTRALIA'S most common and potentially deadly genetic disease is being missed by many doctors who have been wrongly taught it is a rare condition.
Haemochromatosis an inherited iron overload in the blood can lead to diabetes, liver cancer and cirrhosis, heart failure and osteoarthritis if undetected.
Haemochromatosis Australia president Ben Marris said one in 200 Caucasian Australians is at risk and has called on the Federal Government to implement a routine screening program.
"Nobody should suffer from haemochromatosis because everybody should be diagnosed before symptoms develop," he said.
Researchers have identified the gene faults which cause the body to absorb too much iron from food into the blood.
Mr Marris said symptoms which include lethargy, weight loss, abdominal pain and joint aches are often treated without the underlying causes being detected.
By the time symptoms develop, usually after 40, the iron overload has often caused permanent damage in organs such as the liver. Mr Marris said: "During their training, doctors were told they probably wouldn't come across it so they don't look for it."
Murdoch Children's Research Institute geneticist Associate Professor Martin Delatycki said iron builds up over time because the body cannot excrete it. "In people with haemochromatosis, instead of not absorbing any more iron, the body continues to absorb it rather than just letting it pass through," Associate Prof Delatycki said.
In people without the condition, the body absorbs the iron from food only if required. A blood donation the only treatment typically removes up to 500ml of blood and 0.25g of iron the equivalent of about 2-6 months of iron build-up.
Associate Prof Delatycki said a screening program, especially among families already known to carry the gene, would prevent more people from suffering serious complications.
He added that people were "still dying from it".
At 27 and after the birth of her two children, Adelaide woman Sheryl Palmer felt extremely exhausted.
"I went to the GP and he thought I probably had anaemia (low iron levels)," she said.
"When the test came back being very high, he sent me off again for another test, thinking it was a mistake."
When the results returned with another high iron reading, her doctor then suspected haemochromatosis.
Over the next year, Ms Palmer donated blood fortnightly, then every three weeks and later, monthly.
"Donating blood saves my life but it is also helping others out there," Ms Palmer said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Maryland Society for Sight Inc, Baltimore, MD, USA
We have had the privilege of knowing this organization for almost a year. They have been instrumental in helping our clients provide a vital service to their employees - screening for glaucoma. At each health fair, their table is busy from start to finish, and several people who didn't know they had glaucoma have been identified. Getting additional attention for that can really help them improve their quality of life and seek treatment soon enough to make a difference and possibly save their eyesight. This is a great organization that delivers a valuable service. We appreciate their commitment to helping people protect their sight.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
helping our clients' employees discover sight-saving information through the screening process. People are very grateful to have this service available and several will likely have better vision because of it!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Extremely helpful, accomodating, and knowledgeable. Willing to stay beyond the time scheduled, so they could help everyone who wanted to be screened.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Prevent a lot of people from losing their sight to glaucoma!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months

The Salvation Army homeless shelter has helped countless Athenians work to get a place of their own. Now, the program itself has a new home.
Thursday marked the first night clients were scheduled to eat and sleep in the new shelter at 484 Hawthorne Ave. Employees and volunteers were still in the process Thursday afternoon of moving bags of clients' belongings, stocking the kitchen and making minor repairs to the facility, which replaces the old shelter on Meigs Street.
The shelter stands with the Salvation Army's thrift store and administrative offices to create a 22,250-square-foot complex that can house 56 clients and feed many more. It boasts room for a total of 24 new beds, additional showers and better access for disabled clients. A dining room with six large circular tables stands in stark contrast to the Meigs Street facility that could only feed 13 at a time. The agency serves meals seven days a week.
Although the new shelter is farther from the center of downtown, Social Services Director Juanita Archer said she doesn't believe transportation will be a problem for most of the center's homeless clients. It's on the Athens Transit line, and many of their clients have already been making the trip from Meigs Street to see their caseworker at the Hawthorne Avenue complex, where administrative offices have been located for almost a year.
''It's a walk, but it's a doable walk,'' Archer said. ''I've had people telling me, 'Oh, I've been walking it, and it's not that bad.'''
''To me, there's also a lot more jobs on this side of town,'' Anita Thomas, a former Salvation Army client who now works as the lodge manager for the women's shelter, added.

Clients are required to submit three full-time job applications a day in order to stay at the shelter. Once they find work, 75 percent of their paychecks must be saved toward getting their own place.
''We're considered a 30-day shelter, but you know as well as I do that it takes longer to save money for your own place,'' Archer said, adding that the Salvation Army here has housed people for up to four months.
A three-year private fund-raising campaign helped pay to move the Salvation Army's old Hawthorne Avenue thrift store to the building next door and to renovate the old thrift store into a new shelter. Archer said she wasn't sure how much was raised or how much all of the renovations cost.
On Thursday, Thomas and her husband, Gregory, who serves as the weekend lodge manager for the men's shelter, were busy arranging things in their small apartment at the center. Both say they're grateful for the opportunities the Salvation Army has offered them, and they look forward to helping others at the new facility.
''The surroundings (on Meigs Street) where we were is closer to some bad activity,'' Gregory Thomas said. ''... When they come in here, we want them to see a friendly smile, let them know nobody out there might love them, but we love them.''

There aren't nearly enough toys that encourage girls to use their brains, solve problems, build things, and — maybe — eventually become engineers.
So GoldieBlox is tackling that problem by creating clever toys for aspiring young makers — the kinds of makers who just happen to be girls.
Its latest promotional video is a great illustration of why that's such an awesome idea. Three little girls stare, stupefied, as a TV screen blares an obnoxious commercial for girls who want to be princesses, or cover girls, or something else stereotypically useless.
But then they kick off a new song: A version of the Beastie Boys' classic "Girls" but with updated, girl-friendlier lyrics. And as the song plays, an amazing Rube Goldberg contraption unwinds through the house. Built in part with GoldieBlox toys, the contraption flips switches, rolls ping-pong balls, turns on a faucet, opens a garage door, shoots a ball, and … well, you'll just have to watch it.
It must be getting some traction, since the video has been watched more than 1.1 million times — and it was just published two days ago.
GoldieBlox launched a little over a year ago, with a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $170,000. The founder, Debbie Sterling, is a Stanford-trained engineer who decided she'd had enough of the ubiquitous gender-stereotyping of children's toys, and started GoldieBlox to help encourage more girls to become engineers. So far it offers just two main products: GoldieBlox and the Spinning Machine, and GoldieBlox and the Parade Float. Both combine stories with construction parts that are aimed at teaching girls aged 4-9 spatial relationships as well as specific engineering concepts (belt drives, wheels and axles) that they can use in a wide variety of construction projects. Both kits cost $20, and the company also sells expansion kits with additional parts, as well as some cute T-shirts for the little hackers in your family.
Here's some background on the adorable inventors (and their adult helpers) behind this video.

THE JASMINE MOON MURDER: A Tea Shop Mystery
Childs makes a well-deserved shift to hardcover with the fifth installment in her popular Tea Shop mystery series (Death by Darjeeling , etc.). Theodosia Browning, proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop, and her staff are serving tea and goodies during the first-ever "Ghost Crawl in Charleston's famed Jasmine Cemetery." The event ends abruptly when Dr. Jasper Davis, uncle of Theo's beau, Jory, dies mysteriously and publicly. Det. Burt Tidwell makes Theo promise she won't stick her amateur nose in, but a frazzled Jory pleads with her to use her special abilities as a sleuth to root out the killer. The victim was vice-president in charge of research at a large medical products company, Cardiotech, and Theo suspects Dr. Davis's death is connected with his job. A second murder complicates things, but Theo perseveres and eventually corners the killer using a snazzy bit of up-to-date technology to summon help. Fans will enjoy the rich brew of murder, tea lore and mouth-watering descriptions of food (recipes included). The alluring jacket art—a tea spread out on a blanket in the foreground with ghostly gravestones under a full moon in the background—captures the mood perfectly. Agent, Sam Pinkus. (Sept. 7)
FYI: Childs is also the author of Keepsake Crimes (2003) and other titles in her Scrapbooking Mystery series.

Wayne Rooney and England manager Steve McClaren have had a tiff, and it's not about football. They've been arguing about whether or not Rooney's Manchester United team mate Crustiano Retardo is gay.
Retardo, the subject of allegations earlier in the week of being 'as bent as a nine bob note', has not responded, but McClaren is known to loathe homosexuality, and says it has no place in the modern game.
"It's like the back pass", he said yesterday, "and an indirect free kick should be awarded."
McClaren still blames the Portuguese poofter for England's exit from last year's World Cup in Germany, after he got Rooney sent off. Retardo told the referee that the England striker had "touched him up", as well as having "caressed" Ricardo Carvalho's balls, and the ref showed Rooney the red card.
Rooney swapped insults with the England boss after Saturday's heavy draw with minnows Israel. Rooney called McClaren a "bully", with the gaffer labelling the ugly striker "a big girl's blouse". McClaren's position is thought to be in danger after the poor result, and this latest incident with, arguably, England's best and ugliest player, won't have helped his predicament.
The two have now made up with a kiss and a cuddle, and both are raring to go after the big guns of Andorra on Wednesday.
What a couple of tossers.

Nice to have you back. This is Part 2 of a 3 Part series. If you haven't done so, go to Part 1 first, then come back here.
So, assuming you joined me for Part 1, I hope you made your list of what he does that upsets you, and rated each item. Was it enlightening? Depressing? Inspiring?
Well, first, let's talk about getting upset. There are a few reasons women get upset with their husband or boyfriend. Let me share the primary ones with you.
One of the biggest reasons a man upsets a woman is because she isn't able to control him, to get him to behave. No, don't stop reading…stay with me.
We women tend to want things a certain way, and we tend to think we know what's best. So when he doesn't do what we want or expect, if he does something 'wrong' (meaning not the way you want it done, or how you would do it), or if he does things differently than you, or doesn't care about the things you care about (like putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher, or picking up his dirty clothes), then again, he's not 'behaving' properly.
I like to eat my dinner hot. Stephen doesn't care that much. So before we sit down to eat, he checks his iPhone to be sure no client has texted him. Then he can eat without wondering.
I know I'm the one who wants my hot food hot, so I've learned to let go of caring about HIS food being hot, and start eating before he sits down. I've learned that it's my problem, not his, that he doesn't do it 'my way.'
Another reason he upsets you is you haven't been able to change him. WAY TOO OFTEN, women pick a man who is 'almost' perfect, assuming he can be 'fixed' later.
Yikes! How would that feel if you were the one he was planning on fixing?
Because men don't change that much, especially if you blatantly try to change him, you will always be a bit miffed at him.
A third reason you get upset is because he's mean, rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful, or any of the other things that make him simply not a very good man to be with.
Now take your list. Look at each of those things that upset you, and put them into one of the 3 categories above.
- You can't get him to behave;
- You haven't been able to 'fix' him;
- He's just not a very nice man.
This will take some real honesty here. But once you sort your list in this way, you'll have a clearer picture of what you need to do.
In Part 3, I'll explain how to deal with each of the 3 categories, and how you can get him to behave, or fix him. I'll also give you some advice when he's not a very nice man.
Our time is up and you have some homework to do.
See you at our next 'session.'
In every way I can, helping you make magic, everywhere you go,

An Arizona taxi cab driver is recovering after a customer slit his throat.
Bullhead City police say they arrested 18-year-old Cody Stedman Watts on Monday. Watts was booked into the Mohave County jail on attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges.
Police say the cab driver picked up a man from the Riverside Boat Docks on Nov. 21. The man told the cab driver his name was "Lucifer" and slit his throat.
The driver fought back and took the knife from the man, who then pulled out another knife. The man eventually fled on foot.
Police found a backpack and bloody clothing nearby. Watts' driver's license was in the pack.
Watts was found later at a friend's apartment. He had suffered some cuts from the knife fight.
The driver has since been released from the hospital.

Not much to be said for this other than it's my go to tape and has been for a long time. I've not found anything as comfortable whilst still being grippy.
As you may expect from Fizik - very comfy, high quality tape
Really quick delivery, product exactly as described. The grip feels much more comfortable and takes out quite a bit of shock from the bumpy British roads.
really nice product , plenty of tape even for 'fat' bars , soft and comfy , good end caps which is a pleasant surprise . Would buy again .
Fit for the purpose, nice if you want to continue themes with Fizik saddles and shoes ... as name branded.

Former Illinois State Rep. Keith Farnham was charged Monday with using both personal and state-owned computers to trade hundreds of images and videos depicting child pornography and engage in graphic online chats in which he allegedly bragged about sexually molesting a 6-year-old girl.
The federal criminal complaint alleged that Farnham, 66, a Democrat from Elgin, possessed two videos depicting child pornography on a computer that was seized from his state office in Elgin a week before his abrupt resignation in March.
When he resigned his seat on March 19, Farnham told the Tribune he was stepping down due to serious health concerns.
True, if you read that as mental health issues. He has a very sick mind.

I found this review not helpful because... this person sounds like they are ripping off old people, what a bully, and there is no review on the vehicle, just a story about how great a haggler they think they are, try haggling with someone who is not old and vunerable and probably desperate to pay some bills.

The Toyota Emina 4WD GX is a fantastic car and I'd have another later one. I bought mine as a none runner with a broken cam belt. It costs $5000 for the dealer to change a cam belt and it HAS to be done at 100,000km or it will break. The reason it's so expensive is because of the Auxiliary drive shaft that has to be removed. If you take the engine down this far you may as well change the water pump, aux drive couplings and seals. The most common cause of death on these cars is broken cam belt… Read Full Review

As other reviewers have noted, these cars are very expensive to insure and obtaining cover can be difficult. Fuel consumption heavy (particularly in cold weather). On my car the gearbox had a nasty habit of suddenly changing down when you try to accelerate past 75 mph on an incline sending revs up to the limit, it then changes up only to change down again a moment later. Annoying for passengers too. Only one sliding door for rear passengers can be awkward at times. If you don't have the expertise to rebuild a turbo-diesel engine yourself, it wouldn't be an economic proposition.

We bought our Toyota Emina GX People Carrier middle of 2004. It had done 54,000 miles, We did a lot of shopping around for the right one. we were looking for some sort of service history and certain features. Ours has the J top roof which adds about another 3.5 inches to the hight of the interior. It is a 1995 M plate and was on the forcourt for £5999. We found that we had some bargaining power and was able to get another £1000. off the forcourt price as is pretty standard these days. Check… Read Full Review

I found this review helpful because...It is a factual and ohnest review . i have an older 4wd estima, it is absolutly amazing on snow, drives like on tarmak (driving slowly of course) only spins wheels if u floor the eccelerator. On ice yes ice going up hill wheels spinning it climed up no problem, front wheels still stear the car when spinning as the wheels pull u over to where you point them, down hill snow and ice select lowest gear and it will crawl down and stear, jently on brakes will stop in most cases. In sevear incline and ice use lowest gear brake on and releas when they lockup and brake jently again will keep u from sliding off road and keep stearing working on ice. toyota 4wd wot can i say, amazing. and about 20 to 30 to the gallon (2.2 diesel turbo) depending on how you drive it is grate. i get more of the 30 mpg

The Toyota Emina 4WD GX is a great people carrier, the kids loved it. Really versatile with swivelling seats that also turn into a great double bed. Everything works.

I have or had the Lucida version of the Toyota Emina 4WD GX people carrier without 4x4. Great fun and use for two years. However, there is not enough known about these vehicles generally which means that servicing misses out checking crucial issues like A/C and cooling system. If these systems go they can end up with head gasket or in my case cylinder head damage. Costs to repair £595 plus vat new/ recon engine. Recommneded £265 + vat radiator to prevent recurrence.

It is well known with some homework that the japanise did not change the coolant very often or at all, so a regular flush of the system and regular checking is recomended until it has settled down.

Florida governor Jeb Bush told a delegation of lawmakers that he had "some juicy details" regarding the sexual orientation of a missing Miami girl's caretakers. During a meeting on Wednesday, Bush implied that the two women, who had just been charged with fraud in an investigation into the disappearance of a child under the state welfare system's care, are lesbians.
"As [Pamela Graham] was being arrested, she told her coworkers, 'Tell my wife I've been arrested.' The wife is the grandmother, and the aunt is the husband," Bush explained, using his fingers to indicate quotation marks to emphasize the word grandmother. "Bet you don't get that in Pensacola," Bush told his guests, a group of lawmakers from Florida's panhandle.
Geralyn and Pamela Graham, who say they are sisters, were charged Wednesday with stealing more than $14,000 in public assistance. They were not charged in the disappearance of Rilya Wilson, who was missing 15 months before the state Department of Children and Families realized, in April, that she was gone. She would have turned 6 last Sunday.
The case threw a spotlight on the DCF, leading top child welfare administrators to quit and a blue-ribbon committee to examine the agency. But six months after the agency reported the girl missing, the $75,000 reward for finding her remains unclaimed, and no criminal charges have been filed.
Joshua Fisher, Pamela Graham's attorney, called the governor's comments "outrageous."
"He's making jokes when there is still a missing baby here, or doesn't he care?" Fisher said Thursday.
Nadine Smith, executive director of Equality Florida, the state's largest gay and lesbian advocacy group, called the comments "childish" and "locker-room homophobia."

This is a long shot but I am wondering if anyone has any information on WW2 German Polizei vehicle licence plates ?
I am looking for the Polizei equivalent of this site :
http://www.wwiidaybyday.com/emblems/num ... cense1.htm
Where the licence plate number ranges are listed in order of origin, or even better, unit/groupings dates or locations etc. If anyone has any information on this topic please let me know.

There were blocks of numbers assigned to different operators, mainly for police units in regions. For example East Prussia had three regions (Regierungs) with seats in Königsberg, Gumbinnen and Allenstein. After 1920 fourth was incorporated into East Prussia with seat in Marienwerder. All four had different blocks of Pol- registrations:
- Königsberg: 2001-2100, 9501-9700, 22701-22800, 28001-28200, 77401-77700, 96301-96800;
- Gumbinnen: 2101-2200, 22101-22300, 59001-59300, 82301-82600;
- Allenstein: 2201-2300, 44301-44400, 153501-154000;
- Marienwerder: 2301-2400, 22801-22900.
As you may see initially first batch of 100 plates were asssigned to the all regions but later larger ones needed more numbers and had more blocks assigned. Unfortunately that's all what I have - just blocks of numbers assigned to regional governments. I'm afraid there are no known list of all operators within such blocks of numbers. For example: Pol-47895 plate mentioned above was placed in block 46001-48000 assigned to the Reichsführer-SS und Chef der Deutschen Polizei, Hauptamt Sicherheitspolizei and there are no more detailed data known to me.

Doune Baba DIEYE, a village in the Gandiole (Northern Senegal) no longer exists. The island has been wiped out by the sea in 2011. This disaster has been caused by a channel that was dug in the year 2003 to spare the city of Saint-Louis that was threatened by River Senegal which peak water level nearly flooded the whole northern city. Today, the village still bears the scars of the evil devastating fury of the waters. Everything has been swept away by the breach which was dug to save St-Louis but eventually erased Doune Baba Dièye. A real environmental problem now arises in the area. And as such, Wetlands International is investing to help the people, in this area, to protect their environment.
It is 9am on this sunny Monday morning of June 2014. We were six (6) people onboard the canoe of Diakhaté, the captain of the boat. After donning life jackets and boots, we leave for the village of Doune Baba Diéye. The weather is good with a fresh wind from the Senegal River. Small fish are barely visible in the water. Some water birds embellish the circumambience. Some are perched on the branches of mangroves, others feed on the river. The scenery is beautiful. The atmosphere is relaxed during the ballad. The roar of the engine disturbs the tranquillity of birds. We cross the villages of Diéle Mbam and Keur Bernard. Thirty minutes later, we arrived in Doune Baba Dièye an island that is now history. An Olympian calm reigns on the site that use to be a traditional village of the famous Gandiole area.
The tragedy hitting the village of Doune Baba Diéye is a very sad occurrence. This island located in the area of Gandiolais, a few miles from Saint-Louis, was swept away by the Atlantic Ocean. The village has been engulfed by the sea one sad day of the year 2011. This misfortune was sparked the channel that was dug in October 2013 to save the tercentenary city of St. Louis which was endangered due to flooding. Ms. Ndéye Fatou Séne, member of the Diéle Mbam women's group who guided us in this boat ride along this part of the Senegal River with the British journalist and writer, Fred Pearce, still remembers what happened with a touch of bitterness and nostalgia. ''You can see what used to be our house, three years ago. It was just behind the uprooted trees by the waters. We have lived in this island with fishermen. There is nothing left now. The sea has swallowed everything.'' She added that '' In 2011, misfortune struck Doune Baba Diéye. Our native village was carried away by the fury of the ocean. We have lost homes, schools, cemeteries, everything. Other villages in Gandiole were also washed away. It was a terrible shock.''
Today, the island that was native home to grandparents of the late CAF and FIFA Senegalese instructor, Mawade Wade has disappeared from the map of the region of Saint-Louis. Only a few remnants, such as pots and a section of the wall of the village school and what remains of a house, are living proof that there life once existed in a village on the site. Some piles of garbage are visible behind. The sea uprooted trees and left them onshore. The Ocean carted some dead fish and waste material on land. The scenery is picturesque. As visitors, we were left with a ghost site. Apart from the wave's sound of and the whistling of birds, there is almost nothing else to fill life.
Yet, earlier when the channel was dug, people living near Doune Baba Diéye felt a luring positive impact. '' Just a few days after the breach was opened, we were fishing big fish in the village. Shrimp production was booming. The village lived in opulence and abundance. As women, we bring fish products in Saint-Louis for sale and revenues were substantial enough'' says Ndéye Fatou Séne.
But in 2005, local communities begun to feel the negative effects of what will later become a huge ecological disaster for the area. What sickens the islanders is that they were left to their fate. '' The government has done nothing to help the victims of Doune Baba Diéye. No compensation, no supportive measure from the government which dug the canal that killed the village'' she bluntly said. The displaced victims took refuge in their parent houses in Diéle Mbam and other neighbouring villages like Keur Barka or Mbambara.
The channel or gap shedding has been dug in October 2003. The purpose was, then, to get rid of water overflow threatening Saint-Louis, the former capital of Senegal and French West Africa (AOF) due to the flooding of the Senegal River. The legendary city, a World Heritage of Unesco, faced severe flooding. The river level was almost overwhelmed prompting an alarming situation. Saint-Louis was virtually exposed to the disaster that has now swallowed Doune Baba Diéye. Some areas of the city were under rainwater. It was the case of the cemetery called Thiaka Ndiaye in "Langue de Barbarie"which was flooded. '' I remember this. It is as if it was yesterday. We wanted to bury a young senior justice official who died in those days, but it was very complicated because there was water all over the cemetery. His grave was flooded. Finally, he was buried with the water,'' says a citizen of Saint-Louis.
It was urgent to react and save this city which is a living symbol of Senegal's history and the sub-region of West Africa under French colonial rule. Thus, a breach of 04 meters wide was opened to drain water from the river to the Atlantic Ocean.
Since then, much more water flowed under the bridge. Eleven years later, the 4 meters wide channel reached almost 7 km according to a research conducted by scientists from Gaston Berger University of Saint-Louis. It became a real environmental problem in Saint-Louis and its hinterland. As a proof, since the advent of the breach, at least 100 fishermen died while trying to reach this ''artificial embouchure''. The damages were immeasurable with the destruction of many boats and outboard motors estimated over one hundred million CFA francs, in addition to the lost of fishermen nets.
With the rise of salinity on arable lands, 144 market gardens were abandoned. Furthermore, a drastic reduction of herbaceous cover and a change in the wind direction on the island came as a blow to the livelihoods of the inhabitants of Doune Baba Diéye.
After the opening of the channel in 2003, a second breach was formed in October 2012, due to the lack of conjunction between the combined effects of flooding of the Senegal River and the movement of wave's effects, as revealed by the research.
However, the most worrying threat was that the channel shifted to the south. This situation has caused many negative consequences for the area of Gandiolais according to the University's researchers.
After the disappearance of Doune Baba Diéye, Pilot bar, Mouit, Tassinére and Mboumbaye are now seriously threatened. All these villages are under the looming threat of breaking waves. Populations live in psychosis. They fear to experience another nightmare as in Doune Baba Diéye.
Doune Baba Diéye is a traditional village. It was founded as back as 400 years. According to some sources, it was created in 1679. It was called BOCOST Island by the colonial masters. With a population of 610 souls, this island depended on livestock, agriculture and fisheries. According to testimonies from displaced indigenous, the inhabitants were mainly engaged in the two first mentioned activities. The area is estimated at 34 km. It is called "Langue de Barbarie." This strip of land is connecting Hydrobase (a district of Saint-Louis) to the embouchure of the Senegal River.
Our sources also added that marine fisheries and inland fisheries (inland) allowed people to survive and operate an abundant shrimp resource. This activity is in itself a significant source of income for all families in the village.
Once rich and prosperous, the village of Doune Baba Diéye suffered the widening effects of the channel. This breach has completely changed the ecosystem and biodiversity of that area in general. It was a Sahelian flora regeneration area with a very diversified fauna composed of some species such as rabbits, Nile monitors, sulcate turtles, marine turtles, red monkeys, birds ...).
Three years after its disappearance, the sons and daughters of Doune Baba Diéye still remember good times in their former village which is now deep in the Atlantic Ocean.
Wetlands International bedside populations Gandiole
The long drought of the years 80 has negative impact in the environment of the area. The ecosystem in a large part of the rural community of Ndièbène Gandiole in the region of Saint-Louis (Northern Senegal) has been patently degraded. Vegetation and mangrove areas suffer serious disruptions due to climate change phenomena with the rising waters of the sea
This formerly rich and prosperous city has now been transformed. The channel dug to fight against the risk flooding of the city of Saint-Louis, is now nearly eleven. Since then, the Gandiole, consisting of 29 villages, is under the direct influence of ocean currents. Worse even, it is subject to the loss of houses, tree populace that acted as a barrier protecting the village and the coastal zone. To this is added a high rate of exodus by people who have lost their properties and livestock.
These reasons among many others, led Wetlands International Africa to intervene in the area since last year.
The organization, in partnership with the Inter-Committee villagers and the Regional Inspectorate for Water and Forests of Saint-Louis, has endeavoured to support Gandiole local communities. Wetlands International Africa works with them in preserving their environment. This conservation program is possible through supplementary measures. Wetlands International has completed training women in oyster farming techniques through exchange visits between Toubacouta oyster farmers in the Saloum Delta River (central Senegal) and AIV women in the Gandiolais. An oyster park is in an experimental phase.
Training sessions including mangrove reforestation techniques are planned for August 2014 for the rehabilitation of degraded mangrove forests.
This area has a high population area of mangrove on the South- East, at the tributary of the Senegal River. However, the species is subject to effects from human action with an abuse on the exploitation of shellfish.
Mangroves provide breeding grounds for fish; waterfowl attract and absorb some of the high sea erosion.
The beneficiaries are aware of the issues.

Something�s always happening at Campbell�s Soup, even if sometimes what�s happening isn�t all that clear. A year ago Campbell�s Select Harvest soups, which sported �100 percent natural� flags, became Campbell�s 100 percent Natural soups. And now some of those Campbell�s 100 percent Natural soups have become Campbell�s Home Style soups, with the slogan �The taste that takes you home.�
Mr. Tidbit can�t tell if they�re all converting, as Campbell�s website doesn�t even mention Home Style soups. But peeking online at supermarkets around the country, Mr. Tidbit found that at least eight of the 37 �100 percent Natural� soups on the Campbell�s website are now in stores as �Home Style� soups.
What does �home style� mean? The back-of-the-can blurb explains: �Home Style soups (are made) like you would in your own kitchen. Wholesome ingredients. Just-right seasonings. No preservatives added. Delicious taste, all from a place you trust � Campbell�s. Welcome home.�
Everybody seems to be selling �no strange ingredients� these days, but most are using the words �natural� and �simple� in their names, so Mr. Tidbit is puzzled by Campbell�s move away from the �100 percent Natural� moniker. But if Mr. Tidbit was such a marketing genius, he wouldn�t have laughed at General Mills� mainstay cereal Berry Berry Kix, back when it was introduced in 1992, because he thought it sounded like a nutritional-deficiency disease.
SIMPLE COMPLEXITY: On the other hand, not everybody using the word �simple� seems to mean �no strange ingredients.� Hershey�s bite-size Simple Pleasures candies, the selling point of which is that they contain �30 percent less fat than the average of leading milk chocolates,� contain sorbitol, glyceryl monostearate and PGPR (polyglycerol polyricinoleate). Not that any of those ingredients is a problem, but neither are they �simple,� if that word means �like you would in your own kitchen.�
SAUCE FOR THE COOKER: Meanwhile, Campbell�s introduces Slow Cooker Sauces in pouches, including Apple Bourbon BBQ with sweet peppers and brown sugar (�just add pork�) and Mexican Red Chili Taco with garlic and bell peppers (�just add beef�).
