Judge Slams Shin Bet, Orders Release of Suspected Killer of Three Palestinians
After 30 days behind bars, right-wing extremist Chaim Pearlman sent to house arrest.
Chaim Pearlman, who is suspected of fatally stabbing at least three Palestinians more than a decade ago, was released yesterday to house arrest after spending 30 days in custody.
In a withering ruling, Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court Judge Nachum Sternlicht cast doubt on the integrity of the investigation and said the Shin Bet security service lacked sufficient evidence to file an indictment. Pearlman's release was delayed until this morning to give police enough time to appeal.
All the same, Pearlman is still the prime suspect, the Shin Bet said in a statement.
"The suspicions against Pearlman have not been refuted, and he remains the main suspect in carrying out these attacks," the statement said.
Yesterday the court heard prosecutors' sixth attempt to extend Pearlman's remand.
Sternlicht said Monday that police had insufficient evidence to file an indictment, but gave them two of the eight days they had sought to complete their investigation.
Pearlman was released to his parents' home in the West Bank settlement of Tekoa after posting NIS 20,000 bail in cash.
The courtroom was filled almost to capacity yesterday, mostly with Pearlman's supporters.
Keren Pearlman, his wife, appeared holding a sticker with the words: "I too am a friend of Chaim Pearlman - arrest me." The Shin Bet has arrested, and then released, a number of the suspect's friends over the past month.
"These are serious allegations of murder, and the suspect has been held for a month," Sternlicht said at the end of the hearing. "Evidence that led to his arrest has been assembled, but it was not sufficient to file an indictment."
Attorneys representing the police told the court that one of the people Pearlman allegedly attacked had positively identified Pearlman as his assailant the day before.
The judge, however, said the evidence was insufficient.
"The suspect's picture has been reproduced everywhere for the past month," the judge said. "In these circumstances, it is difficult to attribute real significance to the evidence."
Yesterday's ruling was one of several instances indicating that Sternlicht sees the evidence as consisting primarily of remarks Pearlman made to Shin Bet agents and as inadequate to serve as the basis for an indictment. That is also the view of right-wing activists allied with Pearlman.
Sternlicht condemned the manner in which the Shin Bet handled another detainee in the case, a childhood friend of Pearlman's. That detainee told investigators he and Pearlman had attacked Arabs, but described incidents that can no longer be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations.
"Another individual linked to the suspect was questioned. The suspicions against him are more serious than those against Pearlman, but he was allowed to go free," Sternlicht said. "Pearlman has been discriminated against, and should therefore be released."
Source close to Pearlman said yesterday: "In a democratic country, a person must be released if there is no evidence. With all due respect to the gut feelings of the Shin Bet, it's unacceptable that a man be held in custody for a month, tortured and abused."
Questions over the Shin Bet's conduct
Even if the Pearlman case has reached its end, questions remain over the Shin Bet's conduct in the affair.
One of its agents, identified only as Dada, was recorded encouraging Pearlman to kill Sheikh Ra'ad Salah, head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel. Pearlman was also kept from meeting with a lawyer for more than a week, until Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy ordered that he be granted legal representation.
Questions also remain over the exact number of killings attributed to Pearlman, and the suspect has accused the security service of abusing him while in custody.
In its statement yesterday the Shin Bet said: "An extended undercover investigation, conducted by the Shin Bet in coordination with the State Prosecutor's Office, had been pursued prior to the arrest and interrogation of Mr. Pearlman. The investigation raised serious suspicions - some of them based on remarks from the suspect himself - over Pearlman's personal involvement in a series of murders and other offenses."
"During the investigation the suspect was given many opportunities to present his version of events, but he decided not to respond to them or any of the suspicions raised by investigators," the statement said. "The Shin Bet views acts of terror seriously, regardless of who perpetrates them, and will continue using all the tools at its disposal to investigate these incidents, even if they occurred over a decade ago."

Songs of happiness belying feelings of sorrow and grief
just under the surface.
Eyes looking out, heart touching emotional upheaval,
attempting to hold it all in.
Musically keeping everything at bay, knowing just

bittersweet of their son, gone from this life and
living another one without them.
Tears always flowing within, whether or not
experiencing the knowledge of it at every turn.

Ulster's perfect start right on the money
Ulster's winning start to 2012-13 is doing more than the boosting the mood of their supporters — the knock-on effect has seen the province's coffers given a significant financial shot in the arm, too.
The forthcoming Heineken Cup Pool 4 match against Northampton Saints at Ravenhill on December 15 is sold-out, as is the PRO12 inter-pro clash with Leinster six days later.
For anyone who does not have a ticket for either or both of those, but wants to see a game at Ravenhill between now and 2013, the options are Ulster Ravens v Cardiff in the British & Irish Cup on Saturday, December 8 or Ballymena v Rainey in the First Trust Senior Cup final on Wednesday, December 12.
Attendances thus far in a season in which Ulster remain unbeaten have seen a significant increase, the tone having been set before a ball was kicked in earnest with 7,500 and 7,124 turning out for the two pre-season warm-up matches against Leicester Tigers and Newcastle Falcons. Not bad for fixtures with nothing at stake.
The story since then has been more of the same, with an attendance of 8,108 for the PRO12 opener against Glasgow Warriors, followed by 10,397 for Munster's visit a fortnight later.
The match against Connacht drew a crowd of 10,052 and with Ulster taking a 100% record into the Heineken Cup the attendance when Castres Olympique rolled up was an impressive full-house 11,451.
The next home match was against Edinburgh, who are not the biggest crowd-pullers. Nevertheless, with Ulster continuing to sweep all before them, some 11,078 saw fit to make their way to Ravenhill for the Scots' visit.
To put those figures in context, any one of those attendances eclipses the combined gates at all of Northern Ireland football's Danske Bank Premier League any Saturday afternoon.
Rugby on the up and up? You'd better believe it.
With work on Ravenhill's redevelopment now started, new stands will be in place at the Aquinas and Memorial Arch ends of the stadium by summer. The final phase will see the existing main grandstand demolished, rebuilt and fully functional by the start of the 2014-15 season, by which stage the stadium's capacity will have risen to 18,100 — with an option to add to that if required.
Ulster Rugby Chief Executive Shane Logan was keen to point out that the plans are in keeping with the realities of the game's progress rather than grandiose dreams which could end in tears. And the case he made was irrefutable.
"Our sponsorship and our season tickets sales are up by more than 25% in each of the last two years," he stresses.
"People have laughed at the capacity we are going to and have said we'll never fill that. But each of our last three home games have been sold out and when tickets for the Leinster game went on sale, they went within an hour of general release to the public."
"We stand every prospect of having at least half our games sold out this season, with demand exceeding supply," he forecast.
But in addition to being able to accommodate over 50% more specatators than is the case at this stage, the chief executive highlighted other massive pluses in the overall equation.
He adds: "It puts us in line for hosting fixtures in Ireland's 2023 Rugby World Cup bid, it allows us to host 'A' internationals which we can't do currently, it allows us to host a Rabo(Direct PRO12) final which requires a capacity of 18,000 and it allows us to host a home European Cup quarter-final."

text: BE MY GUEST: Riccardo Tisci, couturier at Givenchy, was perhaps the most surprising guest at Donatella Versace's after-show dinner Sunday night at the Via Gesù palazzo. But he and Versace go way back. Indeed, Tisci said Gianni and Donatella are among the principle reasons he went into fashion. "Donatella for us is like a Sophia Loren. She's a great representative of Italy," Tisci said. "It's a friendship." Tisci said he was in Como to visit his mother on Saturday and stayed on an extra night to take in Versace's show and party before rushing back to Paris to ready his shows for Givenchy men's and couture. His review of Donatella's show: "Very Versace, in an elegant way."

Vandals strike again at a church in Derby for the second time in two weeks. This time the problems are even worse and fixing the damage could be pricey.
"I said you're kidding me," explained Al Smith. Smith was shocked when he saw the window at the Immanuel St. James Church in Derby. "This is totally ridiculous," he added.
On Tuesday, the 90 year old maintenance worker noticed someone threw a rock through the stained glass. It had been here since the 1800's. "Who would damage a church?" Smith questioned.
It was especially troubling, since the same thing happened there in April. The damage was still visible on two windows from that incident.
"I didn't think somebody was going to come back again this fooled me," Smith admitted.
Fixing the historic windows could be expensive. Al Smith said the damage from a few weeks ago would cost $45,000. The problems from this week might have been more costly, the glass was more unique.
"It's up in the hundreds of thousands," Smith explained. He said insurance might not cover the entire cost. His main concern was that the vandals could come back. "We never had any of these problems before," Smith said.
Smith had planned to put up wiring in the next few days, just in case the windows were targeted again.
"My first question would be to ask them why?" Smith said.
Police still have not caught whoever is behind the destruction.
If anyone has any information regarding these crimes, you are urged to contact Derby Police at 203-735-7811.

Canadian Milos Raonic won a battle of 20-year-olds Friday to advance to the semifinals of the Stockholm Open.
Raonic's serve was sharp as he defeated Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 7-5, 6-4 in a match that lasted 78 minutes.
Raonic delivered 14 aces and never faced a break point.
It was his 31st victory in 2011 -- the most ever produced by a male Canadian singles player.
In qualifying for his fourth ATP World Tour semifinal of the season, Raonic will take on No. 1 seed Gael Monfils Saturday.
Raonic has never played Monfils, although he was scheduled to face him in the semifinals of the SAP Open in San Jose in February. He received a walkover when the Frenchman withdrew, and went on to win the title, his first ATP World Tour crown.
James Blake of the U.S. and Jarkko Nieminen will meet in the other semifinal.

Lost in Mariano Rivera's Farewell Tour Is Andy Pettitte's Possible FarewellSeptember 19, 2013
You wouldn't know it due to all the well-deserved adulation directed toward Mariano Rivera these days, but one of the New York Yankees' all-time greatest pitchers is possibly just a few innings away from the end of a remarkable career.
Andy Pettitte, with 255 career wins, five world championships and eight pennants (seven AL, one NL), may take the mound at Yankee Stadium for the final time Sunday. If so, Pettitte will finish third on the Yankees list of career wins and likely tie with Whitey Ford for the most games started in franchise history.
He's the all-time strikeout leader in franchise history.
Anything less than a retired number and a day of his own to honor his career in New York—in the same way Rivera will be venerated this Sunday—would be an insult to one of the best players ever to wear the pinstripes.
What comes to mind for you when you think of Pettitte now? How will you remember him?
Foremost, Pettitte has been a big-game pitcher. He has pitched more innings than any other man in postseason history: 276 and two-third innings. That tally accounts for well over a full season of work for a MLB pitcher and has for some time now.
Pettitte has been a pitcher that you absolutely could count on. "Consistency" is a noun that comes to mind when thinking of the tall, sturdy Texas native, with the beaming stare under the midnight blue cap tucked midway down his forehead and glove raised to his face where only his eyes appear to the hitter.
Then, in a flash, a devastating cutter bends down on a diagonal plane toward or away from the hitter, out of sight of a wooden bat. That's Pettitte.
There is, however, a myth about Pettitte—that he was always great in big playoff games—which, of course, is not the truth. He was rocked in the 1997 American League Division Series, lousy in Game 6 of the 2001 World Series and knocked around in Game 3 of the 1999 Fall Classic.
But to focus only on those flaws is shortsighted in the same way focusing on Rivera's blown saves in the postseason would be. You'd be ignoring the dozens of enormous games Pettitte persevered through and served as the Yankees rock for, enabling them to win year after year.
Many will remember Pettitte gutting out a gritty performance in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series, on short rest nonetheless, to earn his second victory of the series and seal the Yankees 27th World Series title.
In most years, Pettitte always seemed to be the Game 2 starter you could lean on for a win; a veteran, an experienced pitcher who never shied away from big moments, all while permeating a confidence and calmness that fit in so perfectly with the Yankees' ethos.
Perhaps you have some great Pettitte memories. I'll never forget lying on the living room floor of my parents' apartment on Long Island, barely moving (out of fear and superstition), watching him pitch one of the great all-time postseason games: Game 5 of the 1996 World Series.
It was an eight and one-third inning gem, outdueling another possible future Hall of Famer, John Smoltz, for a key victory.
Are all of Pettitte's accolades enough for the Hall of Fame? Probably not five years from now (if this is his last year), but I'd like to believe he will eventually get in. Looking at the value metrics, Pettitte currently sits at a WAR (Wins Above Replacement) of 60.2.
To the uninitiated, that means he's had a very good, if not great, career and is likely right on the borderline of Hall of Fame worthiness. Pettitte has never been the best pitcher in the game, though in only his second full season, he nearly won the AL Cy Young award, finishing second to Pat Hentgen.
Perhaps for some sports writers, who are the folks who decide Hall of Fame immortality, his admittance of HGH usage may very well be hard to overlook. The sad reality is that it's fair to believe many ball players did use HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs.
That doesn't excuse him from the crime, so to speak, but I do think time will do an awful lot to eliminate doubt and heal those wounds.
What should be taken into consideration—and weighed more heavily with Pettitte—is his status as the all-time leader in postseason wins. That should be a difference maker. The skeptics will point out that not every player gets the opportunity to play in the postseason. Playing for the Yankees sure helps, they'll say.
True, it does.
Buying into that argument, however, would be falling prey to the fallacy of unknown outcomes—the "what if's." Let's look at the facts: Pettitte did pitch more postseason innings than any other player in history. He did win more games in the playoffs than any other pitcher.
He repeatedly took advantage of his opportunities by pitching the Yankees to enormous wins, grinding out starts and giving his team a chance to win much more often than not. Sure, he had the opportunity that others did not—and he darn well made the most of it.
There's a lot of merit in that, and it should be factored into his Hall of Fame candidacy.
Pettitte is certainly not getting the retrospect the great Rivera is receiving during these waning days of the 2013 season. In fairness, he hasn't announced any plans to retire—yet. But there's a prevailing thought around the Yankees that this could be it for No. 46.
He deserves a kind nod by the baseball community and Yankees fans for his service.
One thing I always find amazing about the rich, unparalleled history of the Yankees is that no Yankees starting pitchers are considered among the top 10 or even top 20 of all time. A few all-time greats, like Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina and Phil Niekro, had brief pass-throughs.
Pitchers with very respectable careers, like Tommy John and David Cone, had very good seasons in the Bronx. Incredibly enough, Hall of Famers Ford and Lefty Gomez (who both pitched their whole careers for the Yankees*), don't stack up as high in baseball history as you might think, at least relative to the WAR metric.
Who's one man who ranks comfortably (by WAR) above each of those all-time greats? You guessed it: Pettitte.
Pettitte, along with Derek Jeter and Rivera, made his MLB debut in 1995, when we were quite a bit younger than we are now. I was just a kid finishing up eighth grade, unaware that the Yankees were about to embark on one of the greatest runs in baseball history.
It's unbelievable to put that in perspective, at least for my own life. Maybe it is for yours as well. Soak in these final days. You're watching two of the best Yankees pitchers of all time. Rivera is headed to the Hall of Fame.
Maybe someday Pettitte will join him in Cooperstown.
*Lefty Gomez pitched all of 4.2 innings out of a 2,503 innings career for the Washington Senators.

Completed: Final Fantasy X. Not sure what PS2 game to play now. I'm thinking of either finishing Disgaea or starting Persona 4 (or 3).
Tsukihime(VN)- Being one of the most popular VN, it is pretty much obligation to play. Enjoyed and completed Arcueid's true end.
Wolfenstein (2009)- Iunno what to think about the game (never played the original). Only played the first two chapters (or whatever they are called)
For other visual novels, still have Kirakira, Umineko, and Chaos;head to complete.
Casually playing a mixture of DotA, HoN, and LoL.

Normally I'd recommend finishing a game first. But out of those I'd jump into Persona 4. That one has really gone up my favourites list. Not many games I've replayed just to go through the experience again as that one.

Oh and check out the sheer difference between Tekken 1 and Tekken 6 in game screen shots.
And you wouldn't be wrong about the games of today in general. From some point, not necessarily the PS3/Xbox360 generation, the focal point of making a new game became its graphics. I don't think many developers in the past few years have dared to be different, which is unsurprising especially if you look at the game industry from the the standard economical viewpoint as opposed to the gamer's viewpoint. Good graphics seems to sell, so they keep doing it (same logic applies to an umpteen number of things).
And yes, the Force Edge and the Sparda sword are actually a kind of handicap... It's typically the kind of thing that hardcore gamers would want to master for, well... self satisfaction and bragging rights I guess...
I only tried it just to see how ridiculous it was.
That said, I don't consider myself a hard core gamer. I'm not one to torture myself playing games on ridiculous difficulties unless I just so happen to like the game very much (DMC1, Splinter Cell series, and Tekken would be the few exceptions). And that I don't spend that much time playing games relative to everything else I do. Splinter cell isn't very difficult even on expert mode anyway.
And for Tekken, it was more about getting the EWGF/EWHF and air combos.
My thumb endured utter agony to more or less get an EWGF each time I try to pull off the move. I especially loved the animatics for the EWHF.
Though I still can't pull off (and won't bother trying) that crazy 6 hit EWGF I saw in some video...
I've never had any problems with my Crisis Core save data. Which version did you buy? I bought the EU ltd edition that all but came with some crappy 20 page artbook and artbox.
Don't know why I even bothered pre-ordering the EU ltd edition Dissidia for that matter...
And I don't like Royal Guard either. It feels very Onimusha to have to 'Issen' the bad guys with all that Just Frame rubbish.
Though it was fun to 'Issen' almost every single enemy in Onimusha 4.
And how weird it was to hear the VA for Travis saying "MOEeeeeeehh!"
Well, I guess Dissidia will be the next game I'll be giving a shot (and may regret even buying).

As I thought, graphic improvement is much more noticeable than anything xD
But I also noticed 'Whoawut?Chestsaregettingbiggerforbothguysandgirls '
xDD!! Gosh I'm so horrible but is just SO OBVIOUS xDD
And yeah >>; Well whats really gay is that 'Sparda' is actually necessarily said powerful only because Mundus rather make out with that sword than with any other. It was so frustrating cause I wanted to try use Alastor and Ifrit but failed. And Alastor was only so greatful useful for the cheap part to defeat Mundus.
My thumb hurt to try execute aloooooooot of combos for Tekken.
OH-MY-GAWD. Especially!!! KOF games >>; like I think I bruised my thumb and had a cut on my thumb a couple of times cause I was really violent with my controller xD kept pressing and trying to pull out awesome set of combos and NEARLY winning against Shion (KOF XI) and then was like 'OWWWW' ;___; my thumb...my poor thumb...
...I mean...disliker! (thats not even a word by the way xD)
And currently I'm replaying DMC3 just to complete Gunslinger and THEN Royalguard. Even though I don't feel the use of it but what the heck 8D
Honestly, the best boss I really like to fight in DMC3 is Nevan. I don't know why but the challenge of fighting her is pretty awesome. Aside from that, Beowulf just for the knack of chilling around, DT-ing while slashing his face.
And then! There's Geryon.
....A horse I don't quite like but take a mild pity upon.
You mustn't regret not buying Dissidia! MUSN'T! MUST NOT!
Dissidia is the best Final Fantasy fighting game D= You must like it!
xD Yeah I demand you to not regret buying it.
I actually regret not even getting it ;___;

And yes, if anything, the amount of detail on the Tekken characters keeps going up with each game. Not that I'm complaining.
Though all those accessories can look rather silly...
It's been so long since I've played any DMC game (last I touched was DMC4 and I never finished it). I can't remember what was cheap about Alastor in the Mundus boss, since I simply stuck with the Sparda sword from that point on.
I remember a very cheap way to beat Angelo though, just keep using Ifrit's fireballs in DT and dodge everything else whilst taunting.
And uh... I've found that it's actually more effective to input any button commands softly but swiftly. I found that the more the inputs "flow", the easier it is to pull it off.
But yeah, be kind to your thumbs.
(or you could try and arcade stick and get carpal tunnel syndrome instead )
I must not regret not buying Dissidia?? The extra "not" makes it sound like I must regret buying Dissidia or be happy without buying it.
Anyway, if the chars in Dissidia are that hot, then maybe that might be a fair reason to buy the game.
And... you believe it's the best Final Fantasy game without owning it?

(its 6am and Im sleepy xD hahaha)
But err yeah xDD Sorry
I think I typed to fast that I didn't re-read my post
And got into a fight with a friend (cause he's a jerk sometimes)
Buuuut anywaaaay~
Well I mean xD Don't regret buying Dissidia. Cause for a PSP game, I find it actually the best second after Crisis Core.
And yeah ;_______; cause I watched video brawls of Dissidia and I was like 'I WANT THAT' but xD I don't think its out here and even if they have, don't think its original anyway...
But I also love Dissidia because of the mix of FF characters~ <3 I find the idea and concept very interesting.
Also, o-o I'm coming close to finishing Crisis Core but I am.....hesitating to continue.
I don't wanna see Zack die ;___;

I'm in the standard GMT time zone and it's almost midnight so I was curious.
And not to worry. Your posts are easy to understand, especially when compared to all that leet speak and all that.
And I hope the fight wasn't serious and that he makes amends for whatever transgression he committed.
Going back to Dissidia and lot, well, Gameplay.co.uk said they've posted my ltd ed set off so I'll be getting it soon enough. Yay?
I'll take some pics of the extras if anyone's interested.
And you know what, I'm probably going to buy an Action Replay for Crisis Core now, though I probably won't need it if all I wanted to do was finish the story. The grinding is so mind numbingly dull to me...
Probably why FF VIII was the only Final Fantasy I've completed to date.

Started a new game of Jagged Alliance 2: Urban Chaos tonight.
I have to bloody finish this game. But I always get to the point where I have a squad armed with four or five M4A1's complete with suppressors and optics and the battles are ridiculously easy even on expert.
I just get bored and can't finish it.
However I must persist this time...

Fort Worth's police chief on Monday promised a full investigation into the weekend raid of a gay nightclub after witnesses accused officers of roughing up a man who suffered a serious head injury.
Chad Gibson, 26, of Euless, was at the Rainbow Lounge on South Jennings Street Saturday night when seven Fort Worth officers and two Texas Alcoholic Beverage agents entered.
Police said Gibson groped an officer, was extremely drunk, and hit his head when he fell on his own.
But witnesses disputed that version.
"We were walking this way to the bathroom," said Gibson's friend, Matt Meador, pointing to the back of the bar. "I had his hand."
Meador said a Fort Worth officer shoved Gibson against the wall without provocation, apparently offended the two men were holding hands.
Two other witnesses also insisted Gibson had done nothing, and was not resisting when two other officers and a TABC agent jumped in.
"After they pulled his head back, he had time to ask, 'What's going on?'" said Rocky Croker.
Officers tied Gibson's hands behind his back before they threw him to the ground, hitting his head on a step, the witnesses said.
They said a TABC agent later held him down outside.
"They had him down like this with his knee in his back," Meador said.
Fort Worth Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead said he ordered an internal investigation after learning a patron in police custody was seriously injured.
"In the police report, it stated he was handcuffed and showed signs of over intoxication, possible alcohol poisoning, and he fell face first," Halstead said.
The chief said police check bars all the time looking for drunken patrons, and were not targeting this one.
"If anyone was a witness to something they feel was unprofessional, they need to come forward," the chief said.
Other questions involve the police timetable.
Police wrote Gibson a ticket for public intoxication and assaulting an officer at 2:10 a.m., noting he couldn't sign the ticket because he was "at the hospital."
But Medstar ambulance service reported it didn't get the call for "an assault" outside the bar until 2:22 a.m., 12 minutes later.
Gibson's friends say his head injury occurred even earlier.
"A good 30, 45 minutes before they even called the ambulance," Croker said.
Chad's mother said her son will remain in the hospital at least a week as doctors try to control bleeding on his brain.
"I think they made a big mistake when they did what they did," Karen Carter said. "And they're trying to cover it up now."
Carter said a neurologist told her that her son's injury could not have been caused by a simple fall.
Councilman Joel Burns, the first openly gay elected official in Tarrant County, said he is also looking into what happened.
"I've asked for as thorough a report as possible ... to reassure folks that the police are not singling out any group," Burns said Monday.
Mayor Pro Tem Kathleen Hicks said she was "very concerned" after hearing from patrons and others in the community about what happened.
George Armstrong, 41, said he had been at the Rainbow Lounge about 30 minutes and had ordered one drink when officers stormed inside. He said as an officer passed him, he smiled and flashed the peace sign, but then he was suddenly grabbed and tackled to the floor with his arm twisted behind his back.
"He was yelling at me to stop resisting arrest, but I wasn't doing anything. It was horrible. I really thought he had broken my shoulder," Armstrong told The Associated Press on Monday.
"I've never been so embarrassed and humiliated. I didn't do anything to him," he said.
Armstrong was arrested, but he said no officers advised him of his Miranda rights or administered any tests to determine his blood-alcohol level.
He said he noticed that other people who were arrested were injured or said police had tackled them.
When Armstrong was released from jail the next day, he went to the hospital, where his arm was put in a sling after X-rays determined his shoulder and back were severely bruised and strained, he said.
Armstrong said he never saw anyone inside the Rainbow Lounge make lewd gestures at or grab the officers. He said the raid happened very quickly at the club that had just reopened.
"To me it seemed like they were trying to make a point," Armstrong said.
The Human Rights Campaign on Monday also called for an investigation into the incident. It is the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization.
Burns said he also was disappointed that the raids took place on the 40th anniversary of New York City police raids on the Stonewall Inn, but police said they didn't realize it was the anniversary. The 1969 raid touched off demonstrations that helped lead to the gay rights movement in the U.S.

Gay GOP Advocates Say Ronald Reagan Makes Case for Gay Rights
On February 6, President Ronald Wilson Reagan would have been 113 years old. The anniversary of Reagan's birthday always has a way of irking the left and inspiring the right, with liberals quick to demonize our 40th President for his perceived inaction on AIDS and advocates on the right making similarly unfounded assertions that Reagan was a hardline social conservative. Both are false claims.

I know what you mean by the constants, I use PIC C18 compiler for my job that does that with the peripheral library. It's good for readability and examples given by Microchip, but I find it's harder to debug because the names in the data sheet are different. Things seemed to be solved faster with the (1<<n) notation.
I think that because of the success of the Arduino (which discourages users to write to registers at all), we are going to see more and more of the higher level development tools which moves away from modifying registers directly.

Regional Reviews: Seattle
Seattle Premiere of 13 from Broadway Bound at ACT Theatre
Also see David's review of Ham for the Holidays
Broadway Bound is but one of many fine training programs for youth in theatre in the greater Seattle area, but the company definitely scored this past weekend, with the support of ACT Theatre, in presenting Jason Robert Brown's 13 in a joyful, inspiring production, and with the author in attendance and also performing in a solo concert to support the company. Seeing an early performance of 13 was gift enough, but then getting nearly 90 minutes of Brown's rousing songs and patter? Well let's say Christmas came early for this journalist.
Cast of 13
13, based on the book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn, follows its young protagonist, Jewish, Manhattan-reared Evan to the smallest of small mid-west towns in Indiana, as his parents split up not long before his 13th birthday and bar mitzvah. In an effort to get in with the school's "cool" kids, Evan does everything wrong, and risks alienating a shy girl named Patrice and a handicapped boy named Archie, who are the only kids showing any real, honest friendship potential with Evan. Misadventure piles upon misadventure and misunderstandings, but in a realistic way that separates this show from the High School Musical genre. The piece has abundant heart and humor, and it may be my favorite Jason Robert Brown score since Parade, which it is of course very different. I especially like the songs "Tell Her," "If That's What It Is" and "A Little More Homework," but most importantly it is a cohesive, honest, non-pandering musical for the under 18 set that also plays well to the rest of us.
Broadway Bound Executive Director Jimmy Nixon directs the captivating young cast skillfully. He could not have found a more apropos young thespian than Adam Westerman to embody the central role of Evan, and much the same can be said for Elliott Moore as Patrice and Tyler Maez as Archie. Other standouts are Michael Kaczkowski, whose offbeat looks and presence make him a daring but right choice for the role of footballer Brett; Sarah Torres, who nails the scheming Lucy; and Mary Armintrout as the vapid beauty Kendra. Sonia Dawkins gives the ensemble vibrant choreography to perform, and the musical direction of Barbra Lynne Jamison is accomplished, aside from the band now and then being so loud that lyrics get lost. Norm Spencer and Martin Christoffel's set is functional, versatile and eye catching, and up and coming lighting designer Robert Aguilar delivers the goods with his work.
The Jason Robert Brown concert that followed was a one-man wow of a show. In his first significant return to Seattle in the eleven years since conducting the Parade national tour, Brown the performer, a super-charged, bracingly funny, occasionally foul mouthed (he apologized to the kids in the house) entertainer, gave his all in the service of Brown the composer-lyricist. It was great to hear his own take on the haunting "Old Red Hills of Home" from Parade, and he sneaked in songs from in-the-works musical versions of two films: Bridges of Madison Countythe selection "Wondering" may play better in the show itself; and Honeymoon in Vegas, whose "When You Say Vegas" sounds like little you've ever heard from Brown's pen, and got the crowd cheering.
Doing the concert for Broadway Bound, and working with students the next day, Jason Robert Brown certainly earned my respect. And Broadway Bound has it as well, as one of the several companies here devoted to furthering careers of those who will comprise our future musical theatre.
13 runs through December 18, 2011 at ACT Theatre, 7th and Union in downtown Seattle. For more information go to www.broadwaybound.org.- David Edward Hughes

Fox News introduced their 9/11 anniversary coverage today by promising science would reveal the truth behind 9/11 myths peddled by conspiracy theorists, so their choice to have James Meigs, whose scientific credentials include being a former editor of Entertainment Weekly and Video Review, attempt to debunk those myths was odd to say the least.
Meigs appeared on Fox and Friends to whore his "non-partisan" book, Debunking 9/11 Myths, the foreword to which is penned by Neo-Con ideologue John McCain.
Meigs is now whitewasher-in-chief at the military-industrial complex rag Popular Mechanics, which is owned by Hearst Publishing, the progenitor of the term yellow journalism.
(Article continues below)
Unsurprisingly, Meigs recycled the usual debunked fallacies in an attempt to revive the flagging official story and was not called on any of his lies by the nodding Fox presstitutes.
Watch the video.
"What we've done in three years at Popular Mechanics of looking into these theories is try to find the facts that the conspiracy theorists themselves site as evidence of their claims," said Meigs. "In this case they say that because steel melts at about 2,700 degrees and jet fuel only burns at about 1,500 degrees...but when you talk to engineers, what you see is that steel doesn't have to melt to fail."
What Meigs fails to acknowledge is the fact that NIST's own analysis of the WTC steel concluded that temperatures in the impact zone reached no hotter than 600 degrees, according to the Final Report of the National Construction Safety Team on the Collapses of the World Trade Center Towers.
In addition, NIST reported that, "Only three of the recovered samples of exterior panels reached temperatures in excess of 250 C (482 F) during the fires or after the collapse."
If 250 C was enough heat to weaken most of the steel in the twin towers on 9/11, then our home ovens and fireplaces would be in danger of collapse as soon as we turned them on for the first time.
Photographs taken before the collapse of the towers show people standing in the impact zones where the planes hit.
Meigs then recycles the pancake theory in an attempt to dismiss the rapid collapse of the twin towers. The pancake theory was debunked by NIST itself after their study found that, "This type of assembly (the WTC steel) was capable of sustaining a large gravity load, without collapsing for a substantial period of time relative to the duration of the fires in any given location on September 11th."
It also violates the fundamental law of physics and the Law of Conservation of Momentum, as Professor Steven Jones outlines in his research paper.
Meigs goes on to claim that falling debris from the towers was enough to topple Building 7, a high rise that stood a hefty 355 feet away from the north tower. Meigs fails to explain why the building collapsed in seven seconds into its own footprint, why first responders were told to evacuate the area because the building was going to be intentionally brought down, why police officers heard bombs tearing down the building and why a top security official who was stationed in WTC 7 witnessed bombs take out the lobby of the building before either WTC tower had collapsed.
Perhaps Fox News should give Meigs his own show, since both Fox and Popular Mechanics pose as "fair and balanced" yet do their level best to lie, smear, obfuscate and bury the truth to please their corporate and war-machine bosses.
They compliment each other perfectly.

Two crashes on the San Diego-Coronado Bridge backed up traffic Monday afternoon, and one of the collisions sent a light post careening into a parking lot under the span.
The first crash happened just after 2 p.m. in westbound lanes when a pickup truck driver lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a light post on a stretch of the bridge just west of Harbor Drive, California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Catano said.
The truck flipped upside down on the bridge, trapping the driver, who suffered minor injuries, Catano said. The light post fell off the bridge and landed on a car in the parking lot of a restaurant supply company located under the bridge
About 15 minutes later, five cars collided in eastbound lanes in the middle of the bridge, Catano said.
The incident left all eastbound lanes blocked, forcing authorities to issue a traffic alert until about 3:30 p.m.
Catano said drivers were allowed to turn their cars around and drive off the bridge.

Your own......
Okay, do not take this the wrong way. If you have so many questions ( uncertainties ) about something so permanent, your certainly not ready for one. I have many tattoos and there all mine, meaning I thought of them or decided on my own to get them. When the time is right you will have all the answers figured out. I guess what I am saying is, if you get what other people say, then you will disappointed because you got someone else' idea tattooed on you. I hope you are not offended by this. Have fun.

im kind of in the same boat. i really wanted a tat of an actual wave but i looked at them extensively online and came to the conclusion that they all look like POOP. and unless its perfect i dont want it. independent has a really good reputation so i need to go there and see what they have to offer.
i found a design that i really like online, its just more of a conceptual wave, like an arch i guess with what i was told by 2 people to be celtic knots on it too, im not celtic so im going to have that part altered. i would show you but i dont want anyone stealing it. i have had the design on my phone background so i look at it everyday and i still love it and everyone i show says go for it so im pretty stoked to know just about what i want. just a matter of where now
edit: if there are any artists on here and would be willing to do some rough sketches for me and kind of personalize my idea i would be stoked!

I had my cousin draw up a sick looking wave with a cool sun and rays in the background and a hibiscus flower mixed in. Its more so oval shaped because I want it on my ribs. And it's not going to be real looking, he did it almost like the way 'Lost Enterprises' does their art. He has to finish the coloring in it and then send it up to me (he moved back to Florida). I'm pretty siked to get it..but going to be some time due to being laid off work. Would love to show the design but like others have said, don't want anyone stealing it.

Aviva Premiership round-up
Ruthless Leicester dispatch Northampton
ESPNscrum Staff
April 14, 2012
Mark Durden-Smith, Joe Simpson, Austin Healey and Ben Kay preview the play-offs%]
Toby Flood was in spectacular form to help Leicester to a 35-21 win over the Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens. Flood, who has dropped to third in the England fly-half pecking order, proved he was back to his best with a 25-point haul as Leicester demolished their great rivals at a sell-out Franklin's Gardens, chalking up a fifth successive bonus-point win, a Premiership record. lood scored two of the Tigers' four tries in the win - he also kicked three conversions and three penalties - with the others coming from wingers Alesana Tuilagi and Horacio Agulla.
"It was hugely disappointing," admitted Jim Mallinder, Northampton's director of rugby. "We had a good start, conceded two quick tries and were playing catch-up from there. The Exeter game is massive for us if we are to make the top four. We need to dust ourselves down and get ready for it."
Harlequins eased their way past London Wasps 33-17 at the Twickenham Stoop to cement their spot in the Aviva Premiership play-offs and complete a wretched week for the visitors. Quins skipper Chris Robshaw was joined on the scoresheet by Ugo Monye, George Robson and Jordan Turner-Hall as Quins - for whom Rory Clegg kicked 13 points - secured a bonus-point victory.
Newcastle shocked Gloucester to record a stunning victory and keep their survival hopes alive with a 29-20 win at Kingsholm. The Falcons' first league away win for almost 14 months was secured through tries by flanker Ally Hogg and replacement back-row forward Mark Wilson, while captain Jimmy Gopperth kicked 19 points. Gloucester wiped out a 19-6 interval deficit to lead by a point with nine minutes left, but Newcastle finished strongly and are now just four points behind 11th-placed Wasps with two games remaining.

Exeter left it late to dispatch the Worcester Warriors 31-26 and book their place in next season's Heineken Cup in the process. With less than two minutes of the game remaining they trailed 26-19 before tries from Phil Dollman and Sireli Naqelevuki and a conversion from Gareth Steenson broke the Warriors' hearts. Exeter also overcame the loss of two players to the sin-bin in the second half with wing Gonzalo Camacho fortunate to escape with a yellow card for a dangerous tip tackle.
Saracens kept up their charge for a home semi-final with a hard fought 28-19 win over London Irish at the Madejski Stadium. The Exiles have now crashed to seven straight defeats, despite the best efforts of Delon Armitage who grabbed a brace. Armitage, who had been on the bench for the previous two matches, struck in each half for Irish, whose other nine points came from three Tom Homer penalties. Saracens won the match on the back of an immaculate kicking display from England fly-half Charlie Hodgson.

Alexis Sanchez sends this warning to Man United following Arsenal's defeat to Barcelona
ALEXIS SANCHEZ has vowed to make Manchester United pay for the Champions League beating he and his Arsenal teammates took from Barcelona.
Sanchez and his Arsenal team-mates struggled against Barcelona during the week
The Chilean, little more than a peripheral figure against his former club during the week, said the Gunners want to repay Arsenal fans for sticking by them despite their disappointment.
Sanchez, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona two years ago in a £35million deal, said: "Tuesday was a difficult game, but the support was great.
"Arsenal is now my family and I am very happy here. Now the focus is on the Premier League and trying to win that's important for me, the team, for everyone."
Sanchez, who has struggled to recapture his sparkle this season, admitted that improving on Arsenal's dismal recent record at Old Trafford would not be easy.
He said: "Manchester United are a very strong team and it's going to be a hard match. But we are obliged to win to put ourselves into a position where we can fight hard for the title."
That's why Sanchez has set his sights on repeating the match-winning form he produced against United last year when he scored twice in the first 20 minutes as Arsenal defeated United at The Emirates.
"That really was the best match we've played," he claimed. "If you looked into the eyes of all the players you could see we all had this hunger to win.
"There was just a look on our faces that we wanted it, and when you have that you know you¹re going to be hard to beat. And that's what happened.
"We went out there and put pressure on them having gone out with the mentality to win."
Sanchez's pledge was reiterated by manager Arsene Wenger who, despite last week's Champions League setback, insists his present squad is the 'hungriest' has has managed since Arsenal's famous 'Invincibles' who went unbeaten for a season 12 years ago.
Wenger said: "They are very hungry. This team wants to do well and is very conscientious and I think my job is more to relax them a little bit."
But the Frenchman has warned his players to watch out for some Martial art this afternoon instead of the Messi magic that did for them on Tuesday.
Sanchez celebrates scoring against Man United at the Emirates earlier this season
He says French whiz kid striker Anthony Martial, for whom United paid £36million earlier in the season, 'can make a difference from anywhere'.
Wenger added: "He has had a big impact at Manchester United and over a longer distance will be a fantastic buy.
"He impressed me when we played Monaco last year and I was more surprised when they sold him so quickly."
Meanwhile, Wenger sought to quell suggestions that Arsenal tend to fade in March and April.
"If you look over 20 years we have always finished stronger in the second part of the season," he added.
"We have lost the championship once or twice, but you could say that about Manchester United as well. In fact, any team. We faded in 2010, but overall we usually finish strongly in the second part of the season."

Mere hours before members of the U.S. Senate are scheduled to take a key test vote on comprehensive immigration legislation, President Obama will host a group of business leaders at the White House Monday to spur the lawmakers on.
Mr. Obama is scheduled to host a meeting at 2 p.m. with nearly a dozen CEOs, businessmen and entrepreneurs "to discuss the importance of commonsense immigration reform including the Congressional Budget Office analysis that concludes immigration reform would promote economic growth and reduce the deficit," a White House official said.
According to the nonpartisan CBO, the original Senate immigration bill would reduce the deficit by about $200 billion over the next 10 years and $700 billion in the decade after that.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Immigration Reform
Legislation looks poised to advance after Republican Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee proposed a so-called "border surge" amendment that would add potentially 350 miles of fencing along the southern border and provide an addition 20,000 Border Patrol agents.
Mr. Corker was busy lobbying for the provision Sunday, touting both the border security and fiscal aspects of the legislation.
"I don't know how to make it any clearer," he said. "If the Hoeven-Corker amendment becomes law, 10 years must pass and there must be 700 miles of pedestrian fencing and 20,000 additional border patrol agents along the southern border before a Green Card is issued to those with [provisional] status. Reports that say otherwise are misleading."
SEE ALSO: Senate border deal may clear way for bill, wave of illegal immigrants
Mr. Corker struck a similarly defiant tone on the fiscal aspects of the measure.
"I've been in the Senate for six years, and this is the first time that I've had the opportunity to vote on a bill that spends $46 billion over 10 years, and, in the same period, returns $197 billion to the Treasury without raising taxes and while promoting economic growth," he said. "I don't know of a business in America that wouldn't relish that return on investment."
Opponents of the bill in the Senate have questioned the CBO's scoring and decried the brief time period they will have had to examine specific language in the Hoeven-Corker amendment before the procedural vote Monday.
"[I]f your proposal is so good, then why not commit to extensive, open debate on it?" asked Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican and one of the legislation's most vociferous opponents. "Why do we have to pass this out of here before members go home to face their constituents over July 4th? Whose interests do we serve?"
The president has walked a fine line in terms of his involvement during debate on the sensitive issue. He largely ceded the drafting of health care legislation to Congress several years ago, only to see the process drag on for months. Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the bulk of the law, Mr. Obama's signature domestic achievement, in a 5-4 decision.
Mr. Obama lobbied heavily to pass gun legislation in the wake of Connecticut's school shootings in December, but even a compromise measure on background checks failed in the Senate in April, along with more ambitious measures that would ban military-style, semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Per a White House official, the CEOs and business owners scheduled to take part in the Monday discussion are:
• Steve Case, chairman and CEO, Revolution LLC;
• Jason Berry, owner, Blueberry Farms of Georgia and Berry Farms;
• Farooq Kathwari, chairman, President and CEO of Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.;
• Bricia Lopez, co-owner of the Guelaguetza Restaurante;
• Karen Lozano, founder and chief technology officer, FibeRio Technology;
• Sunil Puri, founder, First Rockford Group;
• Dilawar Syed, CEO Yonja Media Group;
• Alex Torrenegra, founder, VoiceBunny and Voice123;
• Hamdi Ulukaya, CEO, founder and president, Chobani.

Governor Bobby Jindal released the following statement today after U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ruled that a law signed by the Governor to prohibit convicted sex offenders from using social networking websites was unconstitutional:
"Louisiana families should have the comfort of knowing their children are able to go online without the threat of sex predators. It's offensive that the Court would rule that the rights of sex predators are more important than the rights of innocent children. As the father of three young kids, I will do everything in our power to protect Louisiana families and that includes appealing to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and bringing legislation this upcoming session to fortify and strengthen the law.
"The internet is the virtual playground where sex offenders are trying to strike and prey on our kids. We must have the tools to crack down on monsters that are preying on our kids. If these predators want to search the internet for a victim, they won't be able to do it in the State of Louisiana."
Background On Law
In 2011, Governor Jindal signed a law criminalizing the accessing or using of social networking websites, chat rooms and peer-to-peer networks by registered sex offenders. The new law applies to registered sex offenders who were previously convicted of indecent behavior with juveniles, pornography involving juveniles, computer-aided solicitation of a minor or video voyeurism; or were previously convicted of a sex offense in which the victim of that sex offense was a minor.

Adroitly performed by the New York City Ballet, the 50-minute work is simplistically choreographed by the company's ballet master in chief, Peter Martins. There is not a fresh, original, or unfamiliar movement in the whole ballet, and for a narrative piece the choreography is remarkably devoid of individualized gestures or body actions expressing character traits or plot points. The dancers do endless streams of ballet walks around the stage and execute boring phrases of basic neoclassical vocabulary and repetitious lifts.
The ballet's happy-ending love story centers on Honorata, an underwater kingdom's princess, who falls in love with the earthly Prince Stone and is kidnapped by his evil brother King Terra, who desires her for himself. While Martins' inadequate choreography communicates very little of the story, the drama is conveyed largely through McCartney's titillating yet overorchestrated (by Andrew Cottee) score and Mark Stanley's elegant lighting effects. Even before the curtain rises, the space is bathed in cool blue illumination that conjures a calming aquatic atmosphere, and when Honorata is imprisoned by her earthly captors, the bars of her cage are depicted by altitudinous columns of revolving white light that feel as restraining as iron bars yet are mysteriously ravishing to behold.
But what really capture the eye are the entertaining costumes. Much of the time I found myself studying the performers' attire rather than watching their dancing. The filmy blue-green frocks of the Water Maidens contrast stunningly with the Terra Punks' gorgeous brown-toned unitards, which sport intricate Native American–influenced designs, and with the shockingly sunny outfits of the Entertainers and the hilarious striped suits of the Drunken Lords.
Seemingly compensating for the choreography's lack of dramatic effect, Robert Fairchild and Amar Ramasar (in the roles of Prince Stone and King Terra, respectively) imbue their performances with an abundance of athletic energy and heavy-duty acting. Unfortunately, faced with so little to do, the normally spectacular Sara Mearns makes a bland Honorato.
The most exciting choreographic moment of the evening occurred when the 69-year-old McCartney was introduced. Seated in the first ring and looking as cute as ever, he stood up and gave the adoring fans a few seconds of air guitar.
Presented by New York City Ballet at the David H. Koch Theater, 20 Lincoln Center Plaza, NYC. Sept. 22–29. Tue. and Thu., 7:30 p.m.; Sat., 2 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m. (212) 496-0600 or www.nycballet.com.

Airlines are increasing what travelers pay to go to Europe by imposing much higher surcharges for fuel than they charged last year.The charges, aimed at helping the airlines offset higher oil prices, are adding $80, $100 or more to the price of a round-trip ticket to some destinations compared with last summer, an examination by Bestfares.com finds. For instance:
•A passenger can pay a $182 fuel surcharge to go from Dallas/Fort Worth to Dublin and back compared with just $14 last year before oil prices climbed.
•A round trip from Los Angeles to Paris can have a $320 charge compared with $224 early last summer.
Bestfares.com finds fuel costs are adding about $320 to the costs of a round-trip ticket to Paris and most other European destinations compared with about $280 last June.
The surcharges are adding to already higher ticket prices to Europe — as much as double last year in some instances.
And they come as most airlines have imposed surcharges of $10 to $30 for domestic flights nearly every day this summer for flying on "peak," or heavy, travel days.
Airlines began imposing fuel charges on international routes two years ago when oil prices surged. They tapered off as oil prices sank at the end of 2008 amid the global financial collapse. But prices hit an 18-month high of $87.15 a barrel three weeks ago before falling. Benchmark crude for July delivery settled Monday at $70.21 a barrel, up 17 cents for the day.
Oil prices aren't the only factors driving higher fares to Europe. Supply and demand are at work.
Airlines have reduced the number of seats they're offering in response to fewer people traveling. Delta and American, for instance, cut the number of seats this April by 21% and 14.2%, respectively, from April 2008. On the flip side, U.S. airlines say the number of leisure travelers has nearly returned to 2008 levels. Business travelers also are returning, though not back to pre-recession levels.
The result: Airlines can charge more for their seats.

When you merge two datasets, all sources in each will appear in the
combined dataset. TMG doesn't try to figure out if two sources are
actually that same and merge them. But you can merge any sources that
are duplicates after the merge, from the Master Source List.
> flags that

I'm not clear what you mean here. Other than the default flags, each
dataset has it's own flags, and they need not be the same in the
several datasets. If you merge two datasets with different flags, both
sets of flags appear in the merged dataset. But if the two datasets
have flags of the same name but different sets of allowed values, the
values in the first dataset prevail. If this is your problem, I
suggest you either change the names in one dataset so they don't
match, or change the list of values in both so they do. If the problem
is something else, please tell us what it is so we might be able to

> 1. Is there a way to do this?
Yes. But if you have flags set up differently in the two datasets, you
have to deal with that as I outlined above. If there are other issues,
let us help with them.
First, the flags are the same for each database. The new one may not
have as many as my main one, but those that it has are the same with the same
values. What happened was that the values were set differently. People in my
main database "died young" when they died at 98; some died in the Civil War when
they lived in the 1900's.
The next thing that happened was that my accents were all changed. My
Civil War death became Interim2 with the same values as the old Civil War flag.
Many of the others were replaced by "Problem" flags and "Interim" flags. All
the colors were changed. I finally saved my accent file under two names so
that I could apply the backup.
My next problem was that I couldn't merge the sources. There were no
citations for the duplicated set, but when I tried to merge or delete them, I was
given a "Fatal Error Exception Code=C0000005 Called from
FRMMERGERS.MMergersources Line/24."
I tried to import the second database of descendants and merge the common
ancestor, but I wasn't allowed by the program. I tried to copy the person,
but I got all the above problems.
I do have an idea about the source of the problem though and perhaps you
can tell me if it is probably what is going on. My database is very large and
my computer VERY full. I am wondering if I just don't have memory enough for
the computer to sort, merge and delete. Does that make sense with the kind
of errors I am getting?

Barn Notes: Friday, Sept. 16
In Today's Notes: Leigh Bentley Tries to Kiss the Sky in Saturday's Pucker Up Stakes; Leading Jockey James Graham Rides Thursday Triple; Jockey Florent Geroux Becomes a Father for First Time
Arlington Park trainer Leigh Bentley has saddled horses in more stakes at Arlington than she can remember, and a lot of them went on to victory.
In 2008 Bentley saddled Fab Oak Stable et al.'s Stream Cat to win the Grade III Arlington Handicap and G. Watts Humphrey Jr.'s Communique to take the Grade III Modesty Handicap on the same day – Million Preview Day. Later that summer she saddled D. R. Mason's Karelian to capture the $100,000 Sea o' Erin, and one year earlier she saddled Ashbrook Farm's Wicked Style to win the Grade III Arlington-Washington Futurity.
However, those horses were saddled by Bentley on behalf of conditioner Rusty Arnold who has been her Kentucky-based mentor for a number of years. Also in 2008 Bentley saddled Chrysalis Stable's Silverfoot to win the Grade III Stars and Stripes Handicap, but that was on behalf of Dallas Stewart, another Kentucky-based mentor who she originally knew back when they both served as assistants for Hall of Fame trainer Wayne Lukas.
This Saturday, Bentley will saddle Green Lantern Stable's Sea Level Drive in Arlington's Grade III Pucker Up Stakes, and that filly will become the first stakes horse Bentley will saddle in her own name. Although the daughter of Malibu Moon has been summarily dismissed at 30-1 in the morning line, Bentley thinks the sky's the limit for the future of Sea Level Drive.
"I'm very excited to have this first chance to saddle a horse in a stakes race that is listed in my name," Bentley said, "especially a filly like this one. She does everything I've asked her to do very easily, and I'm very lucky (owner) Richard Masson and Rusty are allowing me keep her to run her in my name. Hopefully, I'll do them proud. The owners and Rusty are super people and great for the industry.
"(Sea Level Drive) obviously likes Polytrack," said Bentley of the filly who won her most recent start by almost 13 lengths on July 30 over Arlington's synthetic surface, "but when I worked her on the grass here the other day (five furlongs in 1:04.80 on Sept. 7) she did it easily. Whenever I get on her in the mornings, she's very, very nice to ride.
"It's always been nice to saddle a horse in a stakes race but it's even nicer to have one of your own to saddle," said Bentley, who has been training on her own for about four years.
"I've been around horses all my life," added Bentley, who was born and grew up in the Steeplechase-saturated horse country around Middleburg, Va. "I rode jumpers as a little girl and I've wanted to become a trainer ever since I got too big to ride.
"My cousin was Henry Forrest," Bentley said, speaking of the legendary trainer who concluded his career as Calumet Farm's conditioner. "I hate to admit this because it shows my age, but I was born on the day my cousin saddled (Michael Ford's) Kauai King to win the Kentucky Derby. Surely that must mean I'm meant to win the Kentucky Derby, too. But let's take it one race at a time. Right now, I'd just like to win the Pucker Up on Saturday."
Jockey James Graham rode three winners Thursday to expand his current leading rider margin to five victories over current runner-up reinsman J. Z. Santana.
The Irish-born Graham won Thursday's third on Ronnie Edmondson and Linda and Keith Miller's Prime Speed for trainer Tim Ice, the sixth on Danny Peitz and Tom McCrocklin's Mawaaqef for conditioner Peitz and the seventh on Hugh Robertson and Barry Butzow's Ensorcel for trainer Robertson.
On the same program the Puerto Rico-born Santana kept the race close with a riding double, taking the fifth with Ron Magers, Roe Conn, Robert Marcocchio and Russell Scurto's Third Chance for trainer Jimmy DiVito and then reached the 70-wins-at-the-meeting mark astride Starlight Racing's Achamenes for conditioner Doug Matthews.
Venezuelan-born jockey Junior Alvarado, Arlington's 2009 jockey champion, remains in third position this year with 65 wins through Thursday. Alvarado was the runner-up in Arlington's 2010 standings.
Jockey Florent Geroux, now in his fourth season of riding at Arlington, became a father for the first time Thursday.
The French-born Geroux is now the proud father of Olivia Matilde Geroux, who measured 19 inches at birth.
Geroux, who won the Grade III Pucker Up Stakes last season at Arlington aboard Lawrence Peifer's Dade Baby for trainer Danny Miller, is slated to ride Herman Van Den Broeck's Angelica Zapata in Saturday's 47th renewal of the Pucker Up for trainer Ronald Pelligrini.

You've gotten a lot of good tips already. I'll share a couple of mine, which were passed down by my grandfather. He was always insistent that we get to the edge of the woods before daylight and we'd move into the woods a very short ways and then sit with backs to trees. Naturally, the woods I'm talking about were the woods where we already knew the squirrels would be. With luck, by first light there wouldn't be much wind. Any vigorously moving limbs were usually because there were squirrels either traveling or finding and munching acorns. If you can't shoot from where you are, move as quietly as possible to within shooting range. Unless you're great at sneaking, they'll spot you and lay on a limb until they think the danger is past. Grandpa and I would then sit down again, wait a short while and then he'd start flicking the small pebbles or acorns, that he'd gathered previously, into the dry leaves. That seemed to convince the squirrels that the danger was past and that other squirrels were feeding, and they'd come out then to get their share of the chow.
As for weaponry, he always used his Model 12 Winchester full choke and number 6 or 7 1/2 shot. These days, I'll use his shotgun or my Model 39A Marlin 22LR.

Tehran on Tuesday cast doubt on the authenticity of documents published by WikiLeaks and told its Arab neighbors not to fall into the whistleblower's "trap." "This is a very suspicious plot. They have planted some Western and US crimes in them to present them as credible," Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Ramin said, according to AFP.
But "the enemies of the Islamic world are pursuing a project of Iranophobia and disunity. This project only protects the interests of the Zionist regime and its supporters," he said. "So the countries in the region must be aware not to fall into this trap and show in practice that these plots will never have any results and convince public opinion in practice by cooperation and unity," he said.
On Monday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the documents underline the broader world's concern about Iran's nuclear program. Mehmanparast slammed her, saying Clinton's comments cast doubt on the validity of the leaked cables.
"The fact that of all these documents Ms Clinton focuses on the ones involving Arab countries' concern about Iran's nuclear activities makes us suspicious about their authenticity," he said.

In your program the user is also a pure function. But I, as a user, am not pure so I can do side effects. More specific suppose I program something like this ss <- hGetContent handle (lazy IO) dosomethingweird handle ss (a function that alters the file at will) Now as a programmer I should be positive that ss will be the file as it was before dosomethingweird modifies it. But this can never be guaranteed if ss is lazy. And now things start to depend on the order of evaluation breaking referential transparency, or do I overlook something. For concreteness suppose dosomethingweird appends ss to the end of the file. If ss is strict then it just copies the whole file, if ss is lazy it copies the whole file an infinite number of times.

text: Rod at home 1 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 I recently finished listening to the podcast that discussed Ultraviolet and Flixster/VUDU. (I hope it was on the Home Server Show podcast, and not the Surface Geeks podcast. If I've made a mistaken and it was on the Surface Geeks podcast, please forgive me for making this mistake.) Anyway, the important thing is I understood, from the podcast, that Ultraviolet was the repository of the films in the cloud, and that Flixster and VUDU were the interfaces for watching those movies. I've already got an Ultraviolet account and a Flixster account. All of the movies on DVD that I've come across, which allowed for putting them into Ultraviolet, all used Flixster, so that's why I've done everything that way. As I said, I gathered from the podcast that VUDU would be able to see all of the movies that I currently have in Ultraviolet, that I put there using Flixster. So, late last night I set up a VUDU account and tied it to my Ultraviolet account. I didn't see any of my movies there. Have I made a mistake? Was I wrong? Did I misunderstand the podcast? Does VUDU not see anything I put into Ultraviolet using Flixster? Inquiring minds want to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Next Step for Terraria
The developer of Terraria, Andrew Spinks, isn't planning to leave the game to its success. A laundry list of fixes and changes will be followed by some genuine improvements. At least those are his plans for the future.
Spinks laid out the plans in a post on the Terraria Online forums:
"My immediate focus for the game will be patching up the remaining bugs, implementing Steam features, and of course working on multiplayer to make it more secure and accessible. Multiplayer is a bit of a mess right now, and a dedicated server with no graphics card requirements is very much needed. Content progression will be slow for the next few weeks until we get all of the necessities taken care of. Though, we will be adding a few new things here and there to keep you interested."
Along with fixes and improvements, he also ran down a list of new features he has planned for the future:
- Pure PvP servers with team based objectives. Worlds will be generated before every match. Imagine a CTF server where towers are automatically created on either side of the map. Players can fight it out on the surface, or try to tunnel into the other tower. - Adding sloped/inclined tiles to make the world smoother. - New harder world types to continue game progression (Ex: Alien plants, alternate dimensions, evil worlds, etc.) - Enemy factions that will move into your world, and build their own city. You can slaughter them while they are weak, or let them build up their strength to get better rewards. - More events: Volcanoes, earthquakes, more/improved invasions, etc.. - Weather: Seasons, snow, floods, etc.. - Farming, and stamina system that gives a bonus to player stats. - Mechanics for making traps and devices.
With many people eating this game up, it's good to see that Spinks has plans to keep it as lively as its competitors. What feature are you most looking forward to?
