The TSA officer who apparently discovered a vibrator in a female passenger's luggage, then added a cheery note telling the woman to, "Get your freak on girl" is no longer screening bags, and the TSA has now "initiated action to remove the individual from federal service."
Note to Passenger: 'Get your freak on girl'
However, according to the TSA Blog, the officer "is entitled to due process and the protections embodied in the Privacy Act" and there will be no further comment at this time.
Read about the TSA's most outrageous incidents
The actions of the screener came to light when the note's recipient tweeted about it and included a picture of the note. Before long (say, a matter of seconds), the whole incident went viral and the buzz was thunderous.
The TSA, meanwhile, has released no clues as to the identity or gender of the individual officer involved.
Moral of the story: If you are going to do something that an employer might possibly find stupid, remember that in today's world of instant messaging via social media, the whole world is watching (including the guys that hired you and can fire you).
Question for our readers: Have you ever found an unexpected message in your luggage? If so, care to share?

Athens restaurateur Zouheir Abouharb closed his Middle Eastern restaurant, The Sultan, after plans for moving the business didn't pan out.
The Sultan was located at 3812 Atlanta Highway near Best Buy. Abouharb had made a verbal agreement on a lease for a new location, but the deal fell apart at the last minute, Abouharb said. He will continue looking for another site closer to downtown Athens.
"In the meantime we would like to thank our loyal customers for the past six-and-a-half years, and look forward to seeing them at our new location once we find it and set it up," Abouharb said in an e-mail. "Thanks to all our customers again and sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused."

Harriet Tubman starts working with the Underground railroad
Tubman (left) with
Railroad Passengers
On this date in 1853, Harriet Tubman began her work with the Underground Railroad. This was a network of antislavery activists who helped slaves escape from the South.
On her first trip, Tubman brought her own sister and her sister's two children out of slavery in Maryland. A year later she rescued her brother, and in 1857 returned to Maryland to guide her aged parents to freedom.
Over a period of ten years Tubman made an estimated 19 expeditions into the South and personally escorted about 300 slaves to the North

I include sales tax in my prices. This way I only have to worry about bills and quarters at shows. It's nice for the customers too cos they don't have to sit there and calculate how much it's going to be with tax. It's also nice at tax time. All I have to do is add up how much I made and divide the tax amount.

I am a craft show newbie with my first attempt November 5. I have learned so much about pricing my products from all of you, but have a question about sales tax. Do you generally add sales tax on at the point of purchase or price your goods with the sales tax included? I have been to many craft shows over the years, but for the life of me can't remember how sales tax was handled.
I like the idea of keeping the total purchase price a round number by just absorbing the tax into the price of the product---don't have to deal with as much change. However, because paper products have such a low price point to start with, I hate to lose even $0.25 on a $4.00 product.
Which way do most customers expect?
Thanks again for all your inspiration!

Abraham T. Poko receiving the petition from Tachie-Menson.
About 100 Ghanaian mothers on Sunday, May 11 peacefully marched through some principal streets of Accra to show solidarity with despondent Nigerian mothers, whose children have been abducted by Boko Haram.
They held placards some of which read 'Bring Back Our Girls', 'Where are our sisters?', 'Every Child Counts' and 'President Jonathan Do something now.'
The women and other concerned fathers petitioned the Nigerian President to, as a matter of urgency, expedite action on the search for the girls.
The women ended their march with a presentation of a petition signed by over 300 women to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan through Ambassador Ademola Oluseyi Onafowokan, the Nigerian High Commissioner in Ghana.
Presenting the petition to Abraham T. Poko, an official at the Nigerian High Commission, Eugenia Tachie-Menson, a concerned mother, said Ghanaian women were unhappy with the abduction of over 230 Chibok schoolgirls in North Eastern Nigeria.
'While the Nigerian government has suggested it was working to secure their release, we are deeply troubled that their safety is not guaranteed.
'The fears of the Ghanaian women are reinforced by a recent video released on April 14 th threatening to "sell" the 230 girls seized from their school, in Borno.
The group therefore implored President Goodluck Jonathan to stop the unwarranted arrests of women and activists whose campaign efforts have helped to draw the world's attention to the menace.
Ms. Tachie-Menson noted that these activities, which the Nigerian government and security agencies, have tried to clamp down, had attracted the attention of the international community.
'We urge that maximum effort is put into tracking down the criminals behind this and bringing them to justice after our daughters are speedily found and returned to their families.
'We also want you to ensure there is adequate social support in place to resettle the girls. Girls have the inalienable right to be girls,' she emphasized.
Mr. Abraham T. Poko, who received the petition, acknowledged the efforts of the women and pledged to relay the information to those at the helm to help resolve the problem.
'We appreciate your concern and I want to tell you that your petition will be sent to the highest authority and demands taken into account,' he said.
They took part in the march on Mothers' Day to show solidarity with the Nigerian mothers.

Building begins for a new UB medical school and culture
The University at Buffalo's new medical school will be the size of three Walmart supercenters when it opens on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus in 2016.
But the project's designers aim to do more than provide ample space, with a glass atrium and terra cotta facade to reflect the city's classic architecture.
The construction work following today's groundbreaking ceremony also starts a culture change.
"The big picture is that it lets us start to transform a medical culture into one that achieves excellence from internal collaboration instead of from competition," said Dr. Michael E. Cain, the dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and UB's vice president of health sciences.
When finished, the $375 million, eight-story medical school will be a key component of a long-sought vision to bring hospitals, research and doctor-training facilities to one downtown location.
The two L-shaped buildings – connected by a glass atrium at Main and High streets – give the medical community a chance to better align and improve scientific research, medical education and patient care among the different institutions and health-related professions.
"It's a seminal event for us," said William Joyce, chairman of the Medical Campus board of directors. "If you are an aspirant to be an academic health center of national significance, and we are, you need to integrate research, education and clinical care."
The medical school will return close to where it started in 1846 next to Buffalo General Medical Center.
Officials say the new school will serve as the entrance and connecting hub to the rest of the Medical Campus.
The project coincides with other developments in the Medical Campus' five-block area, including Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute and UB's Clinical and Translational Research Center.
Other construction under way includes Kaleida Health's new $237 million John R. Oishei Children's Hospital, Ciminelli Real Estate Corp.'s $100 million medical office building, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute's $40 million Clinical Sciences Center.
Academic health centers – institutions that combine patient care, research and doctor training – tend to be the places for newer treatments, state-of-the-art technology, well-funded research initiatives and expertise in specialties, especially those requiring the most complex care.
UB's medical school does not have a hospital of its own and relies on agreements with other facilities for on-the-job training of new physicians. The new school's location is a hybrid attempt to create the medical school hospital that UB has lacked.
Facilities at the medical school's current South Campus location are too small and outdated to accommodate the expected increase in class size from 140 to 180 students per year and the 100 additional faculty members.
The new school will allow educators to more easily adopt the latest trends in training health care providers.
For instance, schools today place more emphasis on student-teacher interaction and computerized simulation centers. The sixth floor will house an expanded simulation center for patient care, surgery and robotic procedures.
Also, as health care moves toward a team-based patient care approach, buildings will need to accommodate the training of doctors and the others with whom they will work, like nurses, pharmacists and physician assistants.
UB's long-term plan calls for moving other health sciences schools downtown, including pharmacy and nursing.
"Our current facilities evolved from an era when a professor spoke in front of a class in large lecture halls and everyone just listened. Today, the lecture halls are still needed, but training also requires classrooms that can be configured for discussions among small groups," Cain said.
The first two floors will house educational and community spaces. A second-floor bridge will link to the new John R. Oishei Children's Hospital and the Conventus medical office building.
The third, fourth and fifth floors will include research facilities that will allow the school to group faculty members by their research focus.
"The idea is to have labs with the flexibility to be configured in different ways so that you can bring together people short term with different expertise but with a common research interest," Cain said.
The school's relocation to the Medical Campus helps create a medical corridor that ultimately can become a regional center in more specialties, drawing patients to Buffalo rather than seeing patients travel to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and elsewhere for treatment.
One development can build on another, medical school officials say, to steadily improve medical care here, recruit outstanding physicians and researchers, keep more of the doctors who train at UB, attract more research funding, and spin off medical advances into new biotech companies.
Bringing jobs and boosting the surrounding Fruit Belt and Allentown neighborhoods are also on their minds.
UB President Satish K. Tripathi said the project fits in with UB's desire to improve its standing as a university, be part of downtown development, and help spur economic development in the city.
"Medical training is tied to the hospitals and health care providers, so it makes sense to be near them," he said. "We also want to be a health care destination and, with the school's move, we can develop that kind of environment."
The design of the new building by HOK attempts to integrate with the neighborhood and respect the city's architectural past, said Kenneth Drucker, design principal for the project and design director for HOK's New York City office.
"You are building a community. There is a coming together under one roof of clinical, basic science and educational elements," he said. "The atrium allows for social collisions among people from different disciplines."
A big challenge in the design was incorporating the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's Allen Street transit hub into the medical school's ground floor because the station must remain in operation during construction, he said.
One other design feature is its LEED Gold certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a rating system that examines energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, water savings and materials selection. Gold is the second-highest ranking.
On the South Campus, officials plan to remove temporary buildings and revitalize the landscape to recapture the original design of the campus as developed by architect E.B. Green, according to information posted on the university's website.
Some buildings – such as the Cary-Farber-Sherman Complex, the current home to the medical school – will be demolished, while others will be used by new occupants.

Nice idea, however it looks as if the display pop's off ala car radio front panels, surely your going to have to re-adjust the mirror every time you get in the car, most annoying
take something simple and effective and make it inherently less reliable by adding technology ... how does that camera cope in the dark and with head-light dazzlers?
Perhaps not as big a deal as it seems. The primary reason you ever have to adjust a rear-view mirror is not because you can't see it properly, but because what it is reflecting is incorrect. If the image displayed is produced by a fixed camera rather than reflection, that's not going to be such a problem. Only the visibility angle of the LCD would matter, and that's not going to be too critical with current technology, I wouldn't have imagined.
China does not have the country mapped for gps, so its not really designed for them but the gadget freeks, and I would rather be watching Paris H than my back end.
Canvas-roofed cars with plastic rear windows are notorious for having poor rear visibility when the roof is up. This could be a very nice solution to the poor visibility, and would keep the car free of SatNav clutter... so if they're looking for a reviewer...
I can't see this being useful in softops with their roof down. Unless you can see it clearly in harsh light it's useless (and dangerous).

No, they are NOT in parallel. The are issued sequentially.If they occur at the same time, they are happening in parallel. Not synchronised, true, but simultaneous, i.e. parallel, even if the data is sent to the disks serially. All that's required is for the bus speed to be faster than the write speed and for the drives to have a write cache.

The Chicago Blackhawks' Duncan Keith will almost certainly be suspended for his elbow to the head of Vancouver's Daniel Sedin in Wednesday night's game between the two NHL teams, but the larger, more pressing question for the Canucks' leading goal scorer is, how much time will he actually be out of the lineup?
TSN reported that Sedin did not travel with the team to Dallas to play in Thursday night's game against the Stars.
Instead, Sedin returned home for further medical evaluation, which is the normal protocol these days for any injury that remotely resembles a concussion. Generally, the Canucks do not comment publicly on the nature or extent of the injury and even if they did, it probably wouldn't shed any new light on Sedin's condition given that it usually takes a few days to properly assess symptoms anyway.
Any number of players who've suffered concussions in the past two years, felt okay in the first 24 to 48 hours, only to have setbacks at that juncture that kept them out for extended periods.
So the Canucks are in a wait-and-see mode, which is also the NHL's strategy as it relates to Keith in terms of the supplementary discipline process. The surging Blackhawks – 9-1-1 without their injured captain Jonathan Toews who also happens to be recuperating from a concussion – don't play until Sunday's home date with the Nashville Predators.
Chicago has seven games remaining in the season and because Keith's hearing with Brendan Shanahan, the head of the NHL's player safety department, will be conducted on the telephone, it's considered a sign that any suspension will be five games or fewer. Normally, if the league wants to make an example of a player – or anticipates a suspension above five games – the disciplinary hearing is conducted in person.
Recently, Shanahan has levied three-game suspensions against players guilty of similar acts, although multiple factors will come into his decision-making process, including intent – something Keith denied post-game Wednesday. Keith has no previous history of supplemental discipline, which usually works in favour of a first-time offender..
Sedin, meanwhile, is out for the first time since he missed 19 games in the middle of 2009-10 season, the year his brother Henrik won the NHL MVP award, largely because Henrik Sedin was able to adjust relatively well to playing without his twin brother. The Canucks have multiple options in terms of how to deal with Daniel Sedin's absence, short and long term, and the possibility that Mason Raymond may get an enhanced scoring role in the near future is high.
The Canucks are two games into a four-game road trip that will conclude Saturday in Denver. After that, they'll be home for six of their final seven games, with the only away game being a quick trip over the Rocky Mountains to play Calgary in the second-last game of the season. The Canucks are largely set in the No. 2 playoff seed in the Western Conference and have basically been playing the game at three-quarter speed for weeks now, as if they're waiting to gear up slowly for the upcoming postseason.
It's safe to say that with little to prove on the ice, the most interesting drama of the next fortnight will occur in the trainer's room – and how quickly it takes the ultra-durable Sedin to bounce back from this injury. Without him, it's hard to imagine the Canucks having the depth to go four rounds deep the way they did a year ago.Report Typo/Error

text: BANGKOK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Philippine shares rose on Friday as investors cheered a sovereign credit rating upgrade by Moody's, while other markets in the region were range-bound as a further drop in crude oil prices kept sentiment cautious in most part. The Philippine main index traded up 1.1 percent at 7,147.19, after its fifth straight fall on Thursday to the lowest close since Oct. 28. The gain trimmed the index's loss so far on the week to 0.5 percent. Most regional markets posted weak performances on the week, amid losses in shares of oil-related firms and a tumble in crude oil prices. Moody's Investors Service upgraded its rating on the Philippines by one notch to Baa2 from Baa3 with a stable outlook, citing a decline in the Philippines' debt burden and structural improvements in fiscal management. Shares of BDO Unibank jumped 2 percent after Moody's upgraded long term ratings on the bank along with three others. Thai SET index erased early gains and fell. Investors bought beneficiaries of weak oil prices with brent crude continuing its march downwards and dropping to a 5-1/2-year low of $63 a barrel, bringing this week's losses to more than 8 percent. Shares of airline firms outperformed the broader Thai market, led by Nok Airlines, Asia Aviation and Bangkok Airways. Shares of energy firms extended their losses, led by PTT Exploration and Production. "The rebound may remain fragile as pressure from energy counters would continue to weigh on the market," strategists at broker Phillip Securities wrote in a report. The SET index is on track for a weekly loss of almost 5 percent, after three weeks of gains, due to heavy selling in energy shares. Indonesia's index eked out a small gain, with banking shares, including Bank Rakyat Indonesia and Bank Mandiri, edging higher after the central bank kept its policy rate at 7.75 percent as expected.

HEALTH campaigners are warning about the effects of secondhand smoke after it was revealed it can pose more of a heart risk to teenage girls than boys.
Scientists found that girls exposed to other people's smoke at home had reduced levels of good cholesterol, which protects arteries.
The same effect was not found in boys.
Good cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, helps to reduce heart disease.
Ailsa Rutter, director of North East anti-smoking campaigner Fresh, said: "In the North East, we see far too many families whose lives are affected by smoking-related heart disease.
"Breathing in second-hand smoke is harmful to anyone, but especially when you have young people in the home as their bodies and lungs are still developing. Research suggests that second-hand smoke exposure increases the risk of them getting heart disease when older.
"Quitting smoking can halve the risk of coronary heart disease within a year for the smoker, and it means their family won't be breathing in second-hand smoke."
Howell Clague, respiratory specialist at Sunderland Royal Hospital, said that while the information is not proof that passive smoking in childhood results in a higher death rate from heart disease in adult women, it shows the effect that it has in the young.
"This information comes from an Australian research group who are following 1,754 adolescents on whom they have a wealth of data," he said.
"They analysed 804 who were non-smokers to see whether passive smoking in childhood was associated with changes in their lipid profile.
"There was a significant reduction in good cholesterol in girls, but not boys, suggesting a sex difference, and because of the reduced HDL cholesterol, they suggest an increased cardiovascular risk when these adolescent girls become adults.
"It is another small piece of evidence that passive smoking is associated with undesirable effects in innocent children – in this case girls more than boys – exposed to adult cigarette smoke in the home."

As our fair county slouches toward the next millennium, I've been thinking it would behoove its citizens to come up with a slogan that encapsulates the role OC hopes to play in the coming years. I've coined a few possibilities:
But in the past few days, I've decided the most apt slogan for OC is this one:
Yes, the technobigots have struck again, this time at Irvine Valley College. On Oct. 22, about 400 teachers and staffers at the college found a message in their e-mail boxes headed "Very Important Information." The e-mail, sent by someone calling himself "George Washington," contained anti-Semitic quotations attributed to such historical figures as Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and a list of 60 government officials headed "USA's Rulers-They Are All Jews!"
The e-mail was apparently sent from an account with NetAddress, a free-e-mail provider, probably in violation of the company's anti-spamming policy. The perpetrator has not yet been publicly identified, but college officials have turned over the message to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gennaco, who has reportedly said he will determine whether the e-mail qualifies as a hate crime.
Gennaco, of course, was the prosecutor in OC's other high-profile e-mail case involving former UC Irvine student Richard Machado. In February, Machado was convicted of violating the civil rights of Asian-American students at UCI after he sent out about 60 e-mail messages threatening to "hunt down and kill" Asian students. Machado was fined, placed on probation and ordered to attend counseling; he had served a year in jail while awaiting trial. On Sept. 30, Machado was ordered to spend four months in a halfway house after violating the conditions of his parole.
The question of whether the Irvine Valley College e-mail is a hate crime is fuzzier than the UCI case. Unlike the Machado message, the anti-Semitic e-mail contains no direct threats. But no one is disputing that it's bigoted and embarrassing. Irvine Valley College president Raghu Mathur condemned the message as "disturbing, inflammatory, hateful and totally disgusting."
The message is also publicity the college didn't need. Irvine Valley College is part of the South Orange County Community College District, which has come in for more than its share of negative PR lately owing to trustee Steven J. Frogue. Frogue was targeted for recall after he proposed to teach a course on the JFK assassination featuring, among other things, a speaker who believes the Israeli government was behind the hit. The uproar over Frogue's perceived anti-Semitism has resulted in petition drives, packed board meetings and frequent shouting matches. Frogue has consistently denied charges that he is prejudiced against Jews, but several of his ex-students have claimed he made numerous anti-Semitic remarks during his tenure as a high school history teacher.
No one is claiming Frogue or his allies were in any way responsible for the e-mail. But it's not unreasonable to speculate that the high-profile argument over anti-Semitism in the district is somehow connected to the anonymous sender's decision to bombard college staff with anti-Semitic propaganda.
Online hate has shot to the top of many activists' fret lists in the past year or so. The Anti-Defamation League (which, ironically, Frogue and some of his supporters have branded a radical organization) published a report last year titled "High-Tech Hate: Extremist Use of the Internet," documenting the rise of hate e-mail, racist Web sites and other uses of the Internet by hate groups to disseminate their doctrines. A group called HateWatch (www.hatewatch.org) keeps an eye on such hate sites as Fred Phelps' God Hates Fags (www.godhatesfags.com).
There's ample justification for the concern. Anti-bigotry groups say the Internet's global reach makes it much easier for fringe racists to spread their message to potential converts. The Irvine World News reported on Oct. 29 that Irvine Valley College officials have discovered identical text from the e-mails sent to college employees on the anti-Zionist Web site Radio Islam (abbc.com/islam/english/toread/frnklin.htm), which is registered to a woman in St. Petersburg, Russia. You can also find the same quotations on the particularly unpalatable site Jew Watch (www.jewwatch.com), which seems to document every crackpot theory ever conceived about Jews Taking Over the World. It's not clear what those quotes are intended to prove-other than people 200 years ago could act like jerks, too.

But the fact is that while the Internet may make it easier for these charmers to spread their poison, OC has a long, inglorious tradition of hate that preceded the growth of the Internet by a good number of years. Frogue has reportedly been questioning the Holocaust for decades. The Newport Beach-based Institute for Historical Review, a leading light in the field of revisionist "scholarship" (which challenges the severity and even the occurrence of the Holocaust), has published its journal for nearly 20 years. There are Bob Dornan's and Lou Sheldon's venomous attacks on gays and lesbians. There's former Fullerton congressman William Dannemeyer's proposal to quarantine all AIDS sufferers. And the list goes on.
For those who think OC's growing rep for hatred is no big deal, I have two words for you: Dallas, 1963. After Frogue's favorite assassination, Dallas got labeled a city of hate, the only place in America where a man would have taken a high-powered rifle and blown a president's head off. (Note to conspiracy buffs: please don't lecture me about the grassy knoll, the pristine bullet or Jim Garrison. Let it slide.) I lived in Texas for a time, and Dallas is still, 35 years later, struggling to outlive that painful legacy.
Think about it.

Ethics and Organ Transplantation
The rationing of scarce healthcare resources is a subject that is both politically sensitive and raises a number of ethical dilemmas for those charged with making treatment decisions. The ethical dilemma is health care is how to balance the precepts of autonomy, beneficence, and distributive justice. Rationing may affect 3 dimensions of coverage: the share of the population covered; the services covered; and the extent to which services are covered (Teutsch & Rechel, 2012). The U.S. spends 50% more per capita on health care than any other country while achieving worse health than many (Teutsch & Rechel, 2012). Poorly coordinated insurance mechanisms leave 19% of the population uninsured (Teutsch & Rechel, 2012). Until passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2010, health care was effectively a privilege, not a right (Teutsch & Rechel, 2012). While PPACA seeks to rectify this, by 2019 five percent of non-elderly U.S. residents will likely remain uninsured (Tuetsch & Rechel, 2012). There are some who believe the U.S. healthcare system is broken and in desperate need of a radical change—the very change that the passage of the ACA represents. It could be argued that the ACA will only worsen the rationing of healthcare services in the United States. What is your position on this matter? Is the rationing of healthcare a bad thing or a necessary action? What ethical dilemmas might be associated with the rationing of healthcare services and how could they be effectively addressed? Please support your positions/arguments with credible evidence.

Guilty Verdict in Teen Murder Case
Todd Pittenger - April 15, 2016 5:08 pm
Stephen Gentry
A Salina man has been found guilty of 1st degree murder in connection with the shooting death last May of a Salina South High School student.
A jury late Friday afternoon found 19-year-old Stephen Gentry guilty on all charges he was facing. Those charges include:
- 1st degree murder
- attempted 1st degree murder
- shooting at an occupied vehicle
- conspiracy to commit aggravated battery
Gentry is not accused of firing the fatal shots, but rather of gathering a group of people to seek retaliation for a previous incident in which he was punched. He is also accused of instructing the accused shooter, Macio Palico Jr., to fire the fatal shots.
The case stems from the shooting death of 17-year-old Allie Saum. She was shot and killed on May 6th, 2015. Shots were fired at a truck as it drove eastbound in the 500 block of Russell.
The truck was mis-identified as being connected to the earlier altercation. Saum was a passenger in the truck, and was hit by one of five shots that were fired.
The other defendants in the case include:
- 22-year-old Macio Palacio
- 19-year-old Jerome Forbes
- 20-year-old Daniel Sims
- 18-year-old Andrew Woodring
Sims testified against Gentry during the trial, in exchange for a reduction of the charges against him.
The other three defendants will each face trial separately. Each face the same charges that include:
- 1st degree murder
- attempted 1st degree murder
- shooting at an occupied vehicle
- conspiracy to commit aggravated battery
Gentry was the first of those accused in the case to face trial. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, July 8th.

LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MPA on non-Muslim seat, Pervez Rafique on Monday submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly secretariat asking that at least one road in Lahore be named to honour the late Cecil Chaudhry and that his achievements be included in the educational syllabus.
The contents of the resolution state that "the house salutes the services and achievements of the deceased, particularly in the wars of 1965 and 1971". The resolution demands that a road be named after Chaudhry and that his achievements be included in the educational syllabus so that "the new generation can learn from his excellent track record".
Rafique said that minorities had become orphans as their prominent leader who often guided and encouraged them had passed away.
Decorated war hero, educationist and rights activist Cecil Chaudhry had passed away on Friday at the age of 70.
A veteran fighter pilot, Chaudhry was battling lung cancer since 2011 and was put on life support on April 11 as he was in the terminal stage of the disease.

If the user has a public, i. e. internet-routable IP address, everything is fine, even if it is not static. However, if the user sits behind a NAT or something similar that blocks incoming connections, a third party certainly is required (such as a file transfer proxy for XMPP).

New Britain police have charged a local man with attempted murder and said he is accused of beating another man in the head with a blunt object like a baseball bat.
Police responded to Smalley and Stanley streets on Dec. 29 after receiving reports that a man was down.
At first, authorities thought the victim had been hit by a car because of where he was and the severity of his injuries and they could not interview him.
The victim was unconscious and was transported to an area trauma center for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
As police investigated, they determined the victim had not been hit by a vehicle but had instead been struck in the head with a blunt object/
Police identified Luis Gonzalez, 32, of Noble Street in New Britain as a possible suspect after learning about an ongoing feud with the victim, police said.
There was a warrant for Gonzalez for an unrelated incident, but authorities had not been able to find him. Then, on Feb. 12, the victim was able to communicate with police and identified Gonzalez as the person who assaulted him, police said.
Police took Gonzalez into custody on Feb. 19
at his apartment and charged him with criminal attempt to commit murder and assault in the first degree.
He is being held on a $750,000 bond.
Police said he was also charged with third-degree assault and bond was set at 1,500. He is due in court today.

Police in Virginia have arrested a man accused of trying to rob a Lynchburg pharmacy twice in the same day - once while wielding a sword.
Lynchburg police arrested 27-year-old Michael Edward Towler and charged him with robbery, brandishing a weapon and attempted robbery.
Pharmacist Michael Robertson says a man tried to rob the pharmacy Wednesday morning, but Robertson told him they had set off an alarm and police were on their way, so the man fled.
Robertson says the man returned later that day in a lime-green raincoat, drew a samurai-style, 3-foot-long sword and got away with an undisclosed amount of narcotics. Towler was arrested later at his home.
It was unclear Thursday evening if Towler had an attorney.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to shoes such as running shoes and sport shoes and more particularly to an outsole which provides improved flexibility and added protection to the ball of the foot.
2. Brief Background of the Invention
With the advent of the intense interest in running, shoe manufacturers have endeavored to design shoes which are comfortable, safe, and long-wearing. Unfortunately, some have found that in order to accomplish one of these goals, another is sacrificed.
Initially, running shoe manufacturers concentrated their efforts on the heel portion of the shoe. Their goal was to reduce the amount of force transmitted to the foot upon heel strike. This was done by adding foam wedges of various sizes and shapes directly beneath the heel portion of the shoe. As a result, the heel portion of the running shoe has become elevated, which causes an exaggerated heel-to-toe foot roll movement. Manufacturers have determined that the exaggerated heel-to-toe movement causes the ball of the foot to be subjected to a torque-like force in addition to the normal downward striking force upon impact with the running surface. These forces act in such a way that the ball of the foot requires a shoe which has sufficient cushioning in order to absorb the striking force, and yet is flexible enough to handle the torque movement of the foot. Unfortunately, as cushioning material is added beneath the ball of the foot, the flexibility of the shoe is reduced. Conversely, if the shoe is made more flexible, very often is is accomplished by reducing the amount of cushioning beneath the ball of the foot.
To add flexibility to the shoe while maintaining an adequate amount of cushioning, some manufacturers have made the upper more flexible, and others have lasted the shoe so that the toe box portion is curved upward. These designs often have not been satisfactory in that they have not provided the comfort and long-wearing characteristics desired by the average runner.
In addition, it is quite common for the cushioning material beneath the ball of the foot to become flattened and deformed. This results not only from the striking force but also from the significant torque forces during foot roll. Consequently, the breakdown of the cushioning portion beneath the ball of the foot sometimes requires the shoe to be discarded even though other parts of the shoe are not worn.
The present invention combines flexibility with a significant amount of padding beneath the ball of the foot. This is accomplished in such a way as to minimize the breakdown of the material beneath the ball of the foot and results in a long-wearing shoe.
The present invention relates to a running shoe having a sole structure that has a thickened section beneath the ball of the foot. The sole structure includes an outsole extending from the toe to the heel and having a thickened section extending the full width of the sole and positioned to underlie the ball of the foot. The thickened section is appreciably thicker than the portions of the outsole to underlie the ramainder of the foot. A plurality of parallel slots are cut in the thicker section across the full width of the outsole in order to form hinge-like sections which allow the ball of the foot to flex. The slots may be partially bridged by struts which do not interfere with the hinge action but which provide added strength to the thickened portion of the outsole at the hinges.
This combination provides the necessary flex in the toe box region, provides the necessary padding under the ball of the foot to protect the foot upon impact with the ground, and is long-wearing since the outsole material is generally longer lasting than the soft cushioning material used in other shoes.

FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a few teeth of the tread of the outsole of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectioned view of the outsole taken along the section lines 6--6 of FIG. 5.
The running shoe 10, shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, includes an upper 10 and sole 12 which may be secured together by any of the well-known lasting techniques used in the manufacture of running shoes. The upper 10 is preferably made of a lightweight, breathable material 14 which carries a heel counter 16 made of a firm material to center and stabilize the heel of the foot in the shoe. The upper also includes a toe box 18 that includes a firm toe guard 20 made of leather or other heavier material and is shown to include a notch 22 at the flexing line in the shoe forepart so as to contribute more flexibility in the ball area.
The sole as shown in FIG. 3 is a multilayered structure which incorporates the particular improvements of the present invention. The several layers comprise the outsole 30 and a midsole which in turn includes sections 32 and 34 and wedge 36. The several parts of the sole are described in greater detail below, particularly with reference to FIGS. 2A, 3, 3A and 4.
Outsole 30, made of solid rubber or other wear-resistant material, is molded as a unitary structure and includes a rear or heel section 40, front or toe section 42, and ball section 44. Ball section 44 accounts for approximately 1/4 to 1/5 of the total length of the outsole 30. The heel and toe sections 40 and 42 are of generally uniform thickness (typically 3/8 (5 mm) inch) while ball section 44, also of uniform thickness, is several times as thick (typically 9/16 (15 mm) inch) as the heel and toe sections. The rear end of heel section 40 is shown turned upwardly at 46 to increase the life of the shoe by protecting the wedge 36 and insole section 34.
The lower surface 48 of outsole 40 may be provided with a variety of different tread patterns, two of which are shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. The tread pattern shown in FIG. 2 includes a number of heavy, generally rectangular bars 50 which extend uniformally across the surface 48 to provide maximum traction while reducing friction and rejecting dirt and mud.
In FIG. 3 four parallel transverse slots 50 are shown which extend across the full width of the outsole in the ball section 44. Each of the slots 50 extends to the lower surface 48 of the outsole and they extend upwardly so as to terminate just short of the upper surface 52 of the section 44. The thin sections of the rubber outsole material above each slot 50 define hinge lines for the outsole so as to allow it to flex readily at the ball area. The thickness of the material above each of the slots is equal to or less than the thickness of the outsole 30 at the sections 40 and 42 so that the outsole is at least as flexible at the ball area as in the other sections of the sole, even though the ball section 44 far exceeds the thickness of the heel and toe sections 40 and 42.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 3A, and 4, a number of struts 54 bridge the upper part of each slot 50 so as to provide increased strength for the outsole. While the struts 54 provide increased strength of the material so as to prevent it from splitting above the slots, the struts 54 are nevertheless sufficiently flexible so as not to appreciably interfere with the bending or flexing at the ball area along the hinge lines at the upper ends of the slots 50.
While outsole 30 is made of a solid rubber material having great resistance to wear, the wedge 36 and the midsole sections 32 and 34 are made of a foam material which is very resilient and which is designed to maintain this resilience for the life of the shoe. Wedge 36, which covers the heel portion 40 of the outsole at its rear end 60, is approximately equal in thickness to the difference between the thicknesses of the heel section 40 and the ball section 44 of the outsole. The wedge tapers uniformally to a sharp edge at its forward end 62 adjacent the rear wall 64 of the ball portion 44. The wedge may typically provide a forward slope for the sole platform of approximately 7�.
The midsole sections 32 and 34, which may be made of the same or a different foam material than the wedge 36 and whose density may be essentially the same as the wedge 36, tapers in a forward direction at the toe section 32 so that its thickness at the rear portion 66 is equal in height to the front wall 68 of the ball section 44 of the outsole. The toe section 32 of the midsole tapers to a point approximately 3/4 inch from the front edge 70 of the outsole. Heel section 34 of the midsole is of substantially uniform thickness throughout, and its thickness is essentially equal to the height of the rear wall 64 of the ball section 44 of the outsole. Consequently, when the midsole sections 32 and 34 are cemented together, a smooth upper platform 74 is provided from the rear or heel portion of the sole structure to the toe tip 70. That is, the upper surfaces of the midsole sections 32 and 34 merge smoothly into the surface 52 of the ball section 44 of the outsole, and the front edge of the midsole toe section 32 merges smoothly into the upper surface of the toe section 42 of the outsole.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the slots 50, which traverse the ball section 44 of the outsole, define three major bar treads 76 that extend across the ball of the sole structure. These bars are in turn provided with several small ridges 78 on their lower surfaces to maximize the traction afforded by the bars. The ridges 78, because they are relatively narrow in cross-section measured from front to rear, are quite flexible so as to provide an added cushioning effect at the ball area to reduce shock upon impact. This is particularly desirable because of the absence of a foam insole at the ball area. The bars 80, which are provided at the heel and toe sections 40 and 42 of the outsole, do not include the ribs 78, as those areas are provided with the cushion midsole. The very end of the toe section 42 adjacent edge 70 is provided with transverse ribs 84 which are of very limited height so as to reduce friction in that area.
To reduce the weight of the sole structure, additional slots 90 are formed in the ball section 44 of the outsole and are positioned between or out of alignment with the slots 50 that extend upwardly from the lower surface. The slots 90 vertically overlap the upper ends of the slots 50 and, as shown in FIG. 2A, terminate short of the side edges of the outsole so as not to weaken the ball section 44.
The embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 differs from that shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, principally in the configuration of the tread of the outsole. With the exception of the front and rear portions 100 and 102 of the tread 104, the tread is uniform throughout the bottom surface of the outsole and is composed of a number of longitudinally extending rows 106 which in section define a saw-tooth 108 configuration as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The rows 106 are relatively narrow, preferably approximately 1 inch or less in width, and each tooth 108 defines an isosceles triangle. The teeth 108 in adjacent rows 106 are shown in FIGS. 5, 5A and 6 to be 180 degrees out of phase with one another so as to maintain uniform flexibility throughout the outsole over the major tread area, with the exception of the increased flexibility provided in the outsole by the transverse slots 50. The triangular teeth 108 in adjacent rows 106 may be provided with thin ridges 110 on one of their inclined faces 112 and 114. The staggered relationship of the teeth 108 provides small pockets at the base of the teeth which create a suction action when the teeth are deformed under load so as to increase the gripping action of the tread. To reduce friction, the teeth are not provided in the regions 100 and 102 of the tread, but rather shallow cross-bars are provided to reduce friction.
In FIGS. 5 and 6, a slightly different strut arrangement is shown in slots 50. While in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 to 4 three struts 54 are shown to bridge each slot at the top and each strut is flat at the bottom, the struts 116 in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 are round at the bottom and are staggered from one slot to another so that alternate slots contain three struts while the others contain two. This staggered relationship, while providing the increased strength at the ball section, somewhat increases the flexibility.
Having described this invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous modifications that have been made in this invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the breadth of this invention be limited to the specific embodiments illustrated and described. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

We had a great weekend. Great house, enough, all the facilities (including pool table, foosball table and TV area), nothing to complain about space! Only (non-interfering) flaws, it is not a detached house and there is no garden but otherwise a large terrace. So no reason to not even go back. Definitely a must for larger groups.
We are welcomed by the owner, who has also deliciously cooked for us. The playroom was a true supplement for young and old. Interior of the house was fine! KortomWij, from 0 to 68 years, despite the bad weather enjoyed our stay.
A midweek in Gîte L 'Ecureuil. Lovely house, lovely hostess and helpful neighbors. Suddenly we had one of the children to the hospital and they were ready to drive and to go to the emergency room. Moreover beautiful surroundings inside , plenty to do. Is it less weather you can also do everything in house. Overall had wonderful holiday.
Good location, super welcoming hostess, who also cooks if you want. House is fully equipped, many kitchen, lovely sauna and relaxation area. Just a pity that there is a barn directly behind the house and the cows mooing all soon!
We were with our children and grandchildren a weekend at Gîte L 'Ecureuil. we really enjoyed it, especially the grandchildren. nice walk, played in the attic, relaxing bath and sauna. Everyone was very content of the weekend which too fast was passed. definitely a place to go with z 'n all back.

She claimed his obsession with Maxine Murphy, the assistant general secretary, was behind his behaviour. Miss Edmunds resigned from her job last November.
As part of her claim against the union, she referred to Mr McGlasham's alleged obsession with his deputy. She said: "I was not comfortable with him talking to me about his feelings for Maxine."
Claiming that Mr McGlasham became more aggressive and abusive towards her, Miss Edmunds added: "It felt as though he was trying to blame me in some way for Maxine not being interested in him romantically." She claimed that his behaviour had been affecting her working relationships with him and Ms Murphy, both of whom were her immediate bosses.
She said she went off sick with work-related stress in May 2011.
The union contested the legal action, claiming it had had to go through the correct disciplinary process with the two officers, which took time.
The tribunal upheld Miss Edmunds' claim and awarded her £11,658 for loss of earnings, with costs paid by each side.
