The Newberry Police Department reported the following incidents:
— Henry Abrams, 51, of 512 Crosson St. in Newberry, was charged with shoplifting and public intoxication on June 2. According to the incident report, officers responded to Dollar General because the manager said that a subject from a previous incident was back in the store. When searched, Abrams had two packs of hot dogs on him. Abrams smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech.
— Dajohn Marquez Tykuwan Feaster, 20, of 1823 Charles St. in Newberry, was charged with simple possession of marijuana on June 5. According to the incident report, officers were in the area of Rodelsperger and Hiller streets in Newberry when they heard loud music coming from a shed behind a home on Rodelsperger Street. K-9 Percy was brought to the scene after officers smelled marijuana. Officers could see a cloud of smoke in the shed. All subjects were searched. Feaster had two small plastic bags of marijuana in his pants pockets. He was issued a ticket for simple possession of marijuana.
— Kenny Moore, 34, of 802 James St. in Newberry, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and loud and unseemly noise on June 6. According to the incident report, an officer was in a parking lot on Drayton Street when a vehicle passed him playing music loudly. While communications performed standard record checks, K-9 Percy alerted to the presence of narcotics at the driver's door. Small green flakes that appeared to be marijuana were found in the center console. Officers also found a pill believed to be Clonazepam, a controlled substance. A plastic container containing burned paper that smelled of marijuana was also found.
— Essence Stoudemire, 23, of 201 Church St. in Prosperity was charged with driving under the influence on June 6. While on patrol on Johnstone Street, an officer noticed a vehicle having trouble holding the lane, veering gradually from right to left inside the lane and going over the white line on the right side of the roadway. Following a traffic stop, a strong odor of alcohol was coming from inside the vehicle. Stoudemire's eyes were glassy and bloodshot. After several field sobriety tests, Stoudemire was placed under arrest for driving under the influence.

Busted: West Bengal govt's claims
December 25, 2006 16:27 IST
A report released by a committee of Singur-based organisations investigating the Singur unrest in West Bengal over a land deal between the government and Tata Motors has revealed that the government's claim of most of the land being waste was utterly false.
The report further said, 'The people strongly believe that a car project or any industry cannot come up at the cost of destroying the agricultural land, common peoples' livelihoods and perceive the same to be an onslaught on the farmers, who are already indebted and committing suicide, not in Singur, but in other parts of the country.'
Industries Minister Nirupam Sen, while giving the committee a gist of the Project's salient features said, 'We know that the land is not a waste land as shown in the old records, most of it multiple crop land. We have a list of people to be trained for the factory, some of whom the Tata will absorb in the course but there can be no written guarantee.'
The report mentions that neither West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya or his ministers for industries, agriculture, land reforms turned up for the hearing on the issue, organized by Krishi Bhumi Raksha Committee and 'Samhati Udyog' -- an alliance of about ten organizations, including the Association for the Protection of Democratic Rights, NAPM, Khet Mazdoor Samiti, MKP, Nari Atyachar Virodhi Manch and others in Gopalnagar on October 27.
'If we do not agree to Tata's choice of land, they will go away to other state. We cannot afford it. We offered Kharagpur land but they rejected. They wanted land with ready infrastructure as they work out economics of a cheap car factory. They also needed it to be closer to Kolkata. There was no alternative.'
'The question is not of money -- it is of livelihoods, right to life and right to cultural diversity too. Instead of getting thrown into the slums on the periphery of urban areas, if farmers prefer to continue in agricultural activities, they cannot and should not be forcibly made to get off their present socio-cultural-economic natural environment,' the report stated.
The report appealed to the Left Front government 'to take a pro-people position, save farm land and farmers.'
'No project should be forced upon people. Industrialisation must only be complementary and supplementary to agriculture and not take a toll of the agro-economy, providing food security to all and livelihood support to more than 60 per cent of our population,' it concluded.

The word "addiction" is used more commonly today than ever before. While it may refer to somewhat benign behaviors, like drinking coffee or watching a favorite television show, it can also refer to a dangerous obsession with a self-destructive substance or behavior. Some medical professionals believe addiction is a psychological condition, while others claim it's a physiological problem. As a topic that attracts so much controversy and debate, it's easy to see why the true meaning of addiction may be unclear. Is addiction a physical disease? How does it develop? Is it hereditary? Can it be cured? All of these are common questions that tend to have complex answers.
Most medical professionals agree that addiction is a chronic, compulsive dependence on either a behavior or a substance. While commonly associated with drug and alcohol abuse, addiction can also refer to dependence on things like sex, food, gambling, coffee, smoking, shopping, or even behaviors like exercise and tanning. Regardless of the substance or behavior, an addiction is usually destructive and degenerative in nature. Someone with an addiction is typically unable to control how often or how much he uses his drug of choice or performs his addictive behavior.
The symptoms of addiction will vary depending on the individual and the substance or behavior of choice. However, most addictions can be identified by a specific set of characteristics that occur either suddenly or over a period of time:
- Increased use of or obsession with preferred substance (getting it, using it, and getting more when it runs out)
- Change of lifestyle, social activities, or friendships in order to accommodate use or addictive behavior
- Loss of interest in hobbies, goals, or activities that normally bring joy
- Alienation from close family members and friends who may be able to detect a problem
- Negative personal or professional consequences that result from dependence on addictive behavior or substance
- Loss of control over frequency or quantity of use
- Repeated failed attempts to control or eliminate addictive behavior
While this list is not exhaustive, an addicted person will most often exhibit several of these traits. In order to truly diagnose an addiction, it helps to learn more about the individual's preferred substance or behavior. For example, someone with a cocaine addiction will likely exhibit vastly different behavior than someone with a heroin addiction. Many medical professionals also agree that addicts become skilled at hiding their behavior, so as to maintain access to their addiction and perpetuate the addictive lifestyle. Therefore, it's not always easy to spot addictive behavior from the outside.
Many addicts are blamed for having a lack of willpower to overcome their addictive behaviors. However, science has shown that that an addicted person's brain follows certain patterns that can trigger both a physiological and psychological dependence, even after just one experience with the drug or behavior of choice. With addiction, the parts of the brain that control motivation, mood, reward, and inhibitory concentration are stimulated to create an intensely pleasurable response to the drug or behavior of choice. Many medical professionals believe that certain individuals are prone toward addiction because of their unique brain chemistry, while other doctors argue that addiction can happen to anyone.
Most experts agree, however, that addiction is usually not only caused by physiological responses in the brain. Factors like heredity, environment, mental health, and diet may also play a significant role in the onset and development of addiction. In fact, several factors are usually involved, which can make addiction a difficult condition to both prevent and treat.
Progression of Addiction
While not all addictions result in negative consequences or destructive behavior, most follow a pattern of negative progression. In the first stage, the person experiments with the drug or behavior of choice. He may or may not have a positive experience, but the brain records the activity and the memory of use.
Next, the user finds his or her self returning to the substance or behavior more frequently and finding pleasure and satisfaction from using. In this stage, the brain is forming a conditioned positive response to the behavior.
In the chronic stage of addiction, the person will continue to use the substance or perform the behavior—despite negative consequences—in order to achieve the same positive response he once experienced with the drug or behavior. Now, however, the positive response may be absent. The good feelings, whether physical or emotional, associated with using may not be present at all. At this point, many doctors argue that the addict is acting on involuntary messages from his brain chemistry, trying to repeat the "high" he once achieved to give the brain the reward and pleasure it seeks.
Since addiction is considered a mind-body disease, it is often treated with traditional methods such as drug therapy and psychiatric counseling. Inpatient or outpatient addiction rehabilitation programs are common starting points for many addicts. Many doctors also recommend 12-step recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous, etc. There are also several medications available to treat drug addiction, and these are taken under a physician's guidance, often for many years of maintenance treatment. Less traditional medical treatments include brain stimulation therapies like electroconvulsive therapy or vagus nerve stimulation, though these are generally targeted towards people with dual diagnoses, like drug addiction and depression.
In general, it is thought that addiction cannot necessarily be cured, only managed. For best results, medical professionals usually recommend a combination of lifestyle and behavior changes in addition to medical-based therapies. Moreover, an addict must be willing to change his behavior, stop using, and seek help before the process of recovery can even begin.

Cuomo: Pre-K funding is 'bigger conversation'
ALBANY—Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he would not address funding for an expansion of pre-kindergarten services in his State of the State presentation on Wednesday, contradicting a report last night by Capital.
"It's a two-step process. … First decide what you're going to do, then decide how you're going to do it. We are on step one," Cuomo said at a press conference to announce a tax-cutting proposal.
Story Continued Below
The governor, a Democrat, noted past statements of support in earlier State of the State addresses, as well as recommendations from his education reform commission.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has proposed a higher income tax on city residents to fund an expansion in New York City. Cuomo again refused to state definitively whether he would oppose or support such a plan, which has the backing of Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, as well as Democrats and Independent Democrats in the State Senate. He previously indicated that he'd oppose the high-earner tax.
New York already allocates around $400 million for pre-K, and Cuomo has expanded funding through competitive grants that have gone to 27 districts.
"There's no doubt that pre-K is the way to go, and it should be accelerated. I think we're going to have unanimity on that. I am not sure, but I think we will have unanimity on that goal," said Cuomo. "It's a broader conversation with the Legislature once we all identify a fuller agenda for the year, the full sources for the year, where are they on this tax cut proposal. So it's a bigger conversation."

Knut the polar bear has psychological problems, Peta says
Most polar bears in Germany have psychological problems, with Berlin Zoo's Knut probably the worst affected, according to a two-year study by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The animal welfare group is calling for a ban on captive polar bears.
As a cub, Knut made the cover of Vanity Fair and drew camera crews from around the world.
Heiner Kloes, of Berlin Zoo, said that the claims were ridiculous and told reporters: "Knut is fine."
In March Peta called for Knut to be castrated to avoid incest with his companion Gianna, as the two polar bears share a common bloodline.

County: Taylor
High School: Grafton High School
Plans for after graduation: Study computer science and engineering in college most likely at West Virginia University. "I have researched many computer and engineering programs, and I feel WVU has one of the best in the nation," he said.
Grafton High School senior Trevor Clarkson overcame tough odds early in life to become a high achiever.
At the age of 6 months, he was diagnosed with Cryptogenic Infantile Spasms: unexplained seizures that can damage the brain.
Faced with a poor prognosis, mother DeAnna Clarkson was "more determined to help Trevor meet his fullest potential," she wrote. Based on her nomination and his achievements, Clarkson has been selected as one of three winners of full-ride scholarships as part of the 2012 EQT Students of Excellence program.
DeAnna Clarkson enrolled her son in West Virginia Early Intervention services and, through his early years, engaged him in speech, occupational and physical therapy.
"Every school year I approached each group of teachers cautiously because I was so concerned that Trevor would be labeled in school and automatically have limits set for him," she wrote. "We have been blessed with the best teams of teachers that always saw his potential and helped him to grow. They focused on his strengths and provided him with the confidence he needed to excel."
Clarkson, who lives with his parents and younger sister Lauren in Thornton, a few miles east of Grafton, said his parents have always been supportive of his and Lauren's success.
"They've always helped us out and been really involved, always show up at all my music performances," he said. "They always tell us to do our best to achieve our goals of a successful education."
Although Clarkson faced struggles in his early years, his mother wrote, he began to shine when he entered high school.
His agreement with that statement had more to do with his interests than with his earlier challenges.
"I had a few advanced classes like algebra 1 and Spanish in middle school but in high school there's a much wider variety of classes," he said. "I wasn't so much bored in middle school; it's just, in high school there are more opportunities — more clubs and things to get involved in."
Academically, Clarkson has a technical mind.
"I've always been really keen when it comes to catching on to math and also to science," he said.
He doesn't shy away from the hard classes. He completed a dual-credit computer class in his junior year along with pre-calculus, trigonometry and chemistry. In his senior year, he is taking dual-credit calculus and Advanced Placement physics.
He is an enthusiastic school musician and serves as trumpet section leader and frequent soloist in the Grafton High School Bearcats marching band.
"When you're section leader, all the trumpets are looking up to you, and they really need somebody they know is a good role model," Clarkson explained proudly. "You've got to be able to guide them — for example, when we set up the field show over the summer we show them how to have good horn angles, how to play properly, all the basic trumpet things."
He also plays in the jazz band and in the orchestra that accompanies the school's Entertainers show choir and has started taking a guitar class in school.
Clarkson has been recognized throughout his high school career for his leadership and academic achievement.
He was selected in his freshman year to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership awards conference and attended the weekend Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Conference as a sophomore. He also attended the week-long HOBY conference at WVU last year and, this past summer, was selected for American Legion Mountaineer Boys State.
As a junior, Clarkson was inducted into the National Honor Society, and he now serves as treasurer. He received the Presidential Excellence in Education award last year and is ranked fifth in his senior class, with a GPA of 4.2.
For his high school community service hours, he has volunteered at Burlington United Methodist Family Services and Mountainheart Community Services in Grafton, both of which offer services to children in need.
Clarkson plans to study computer science and engineering in college, possibly at West Virginia University.
"I have researched many computer and engineering programs and I feel WVU has one of the best in the nation," he said.
He believes that path would offer him a rewarding career — "I am very excited about technology in this day and time and would love to be a part these new discoveries."
He sees good potential in the continued exploitation of the state's natural resources as well as in the development of high-tech economy in West Virginia and plans to use his education to give back to the state.
"I would like to use my talents and skills to develop new technologies to make life easier for individuals and more productive and efficient for our businesses. I hope that this will assist in the growth of our local economy," he said. "I am determined to begin my career here and keep West Virginia as my home."
DeAnna Clarkson writes of her son: "Trevor inspires me daily and reminds me that there are no limits — maybe even president one day."

Testing and Optimizing of what I call "traditional" page-based web applications is not too hard to do. Take CNN as an example. You have the home page www.cnn.com. From there you can click through the news sections such as U.S, World, Politics, ... - each click loading a new page with a unique URL. Testing this site is rather easy. Use Selenium, WebDriver or even a HTTP Based Testing tool to model your test cases. Navigate to all these URLs and - if you are serious about performance and load time - use tools such as YSlow, PageSpeed or dynaTrace AJAX Edition (these tools obviously only work when testing is done through a real browser). These tools analyze page performance based on common Best Practices for every individual tested URL.
This is great for traditional web sites but doesn't work anymore for modern Web 2.0 Applications that provide most of their functionality on a single page. An example here would be Google and their apps like Search, Docs or GMail. Only a very small time is actually spent in the initial page load. The rest is spent in JavaScript, XHR Calls and DOM Manipulations triggered by user actions on the same URL. By just following Best Practices we do not anlayze the User Interaction Time which is a very important factor in Web 2.0 Applications.
Read the rest of the article where I explain what the Best Practices approach misses, how we can best test web 2.0 applications using Selenium/WebDriver and how to analyze and optimize performance of user interactions.

It's no secret that Ungaro has been troubled for some time -- seeking to revitalize the brand by hiring Lindsay Lohan, then releasing her from her contract (along with the CEO) once the collections turned seriously sour -- so it wouldn't surprise anyone to find that the owner has been taking lunch with a major new design talent.
And, as it so happens, owner Asim Abdullah was spotted lunching last Friday with English designer Giles Deacon, according to WWD. Will Giles Deacon, whose independent line Giles launched the same year founder Emmanuel Ungaro retired from his eponymous company, usher in the latest chapter of Ungaro's tumultuous saga since the departure?
Since the company changed ownership from Ferragamo to current tech-mogul owner Asim Abdullah in 2005, a revolving door of designers have come and gone, including Esteban Cortazar, Peter Dundas (now head designer at Pucci), Vincent Darré, and Giambatista Valli. Word on the street says Ungaro's active search is ongoing but as-yet-unresolved. Current creative director Estrella Archs was hired with Lohan and is rumored to be stepping down upon the appointment of a new designer. Of course, both camps have denied comment, so where this particular thread in Ungaro's tale will ultimately lead is anyone's guess.

Ferguson wastes no time with fiery welcome for old adversary Benitez
If you thought that time had tempered Alex Ferguson's antipathy towards Rafael Benitez, think again. The Manchester United manager has reignited hostilities with his old nemesis, claiming that the Spaniard was a "lucky" manager who merely inherited successful teams.
As a welcome back to the Premier League for Benitez, who had barely been in the chair 48 hours before Ferguson launched his barbs, it was not exactly effusive. Ferguson was especially scornful of the notion that his old sparring partner at Liverpool could win next month's Club World Cup with Chelsea, despite never having contributed to the construction of the side.
"Rafa Benitez is very lucky because on his CV in two weeks' time he could have two world championships to his name – and (had) nothing to do with the teams," Ferguson argued, indicating that Inter Milan's win in the 2010 Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi was purely the accomplishment of a team built by Jose Mourinho, whom Benitez succeeded at San Siro.
"Jose Mourinho won the treble after going to Milan. Rafa took over and won a world championship without having to do anything. He had nothing to do with the construction of the teams and that's where I feel real disappointment for Roberto di Matteo – he could have on his CV an FA Cup, a Champions League and a world club championship. Everyone feels for Roberto and quite rightly. It's quite amazing that you win the FA Cup and the Champions League. It's a pity for him."
If Benitez had expected some cordial words of good luck, or perhaps a glass of red from the Ferguson wine cabinet, he was to be gravely mistaken. His old rival was not in diplomatic mood, either in characterising Benitez's good fortune or the fickleness of Roman Abramovich in appointing a ninth manager in nine years.
"It is proven that someone always wants a job," Ferguson said. "Rafa is prepared to take it short term. It shows you his eagerness to get back in. Football people are like that. They want to get back in, they want to manage even though they know there are pitfalls.
"It is not an easy job today. Expectation levels are never met. It has changed over the last 25 years. New types of owners have come in.
"Look back at Arsenal under the Hill-Woods. You'd never expect anything like that happening under stable people like that. But it has changed. You now have Russians, Americans, Chinese. Maybe they expect to come in and win everything. Maybe they think it is easy."
On a day when Ferguson had a statue of himself unveiled outside Old Trafford, he was not shy of taking aim at Chelsea's short-termist approach, emphasising the virtues of stability. "Longevity helps," he said. "That is my opinion. But Chelsea have had a lot of success. There are a lot of teams who have spent money and won nothing.
"There are a few who have spent and won no titles or Champions Leagues. When Mourinho went there, Chelsea's expectations went up. That is what we are looking at now. The expectation is not matching Mourinho's achievements."
Ferguson was similarly critical of Chelsea's stance over Mark Clattenburg. The plight of the referee, cleared by the English FA and Metropolitan Police of using inappropriate language towards John Obi Mikel, drew the United manager's fullest sympathy.
"I did not believe it anyway," he said. "The unfortunate thing for Mark is that he has had to carry that stain for the last few weeks. Everyone in the game is pleased for him now – apart from Chelsea."
Asked if there should be an official apology from Chelsea, he replied: "I don't need to comment on that – it is so obvious. I am delighted for Mark Clattenburg and I think everyone in the game is." (© Daily Telegraph, London)

WASHINGTON, June 14 (UPI) -- Islamist terrorists targeting Westerners in Saudi Arabia continues to raise security concerns despite assurances from authorities that the situation has not reached "crisis levels," as the kingdom's Islamic Affairs minister claims.
But just how many deaths does it take to reach a crisis level?
One American was shot dead in Riyadh and another kidnapped Saturday. Last Tuesday gunmen killed an American citizen only two days after an Irish BBC cameraman was killed and a British journalist wounded. These attacks come on the heels of two earlier bloody raids on an American company in Yanbu that killed six, and a housing complex in Khobar that left 22 dead.
Meanwhile, foreign oil workers bemoan the incompetence of Saudi Arabia's security forces whom, they say, seem unable to tackle the problem.
United Press International obtained copies of e-mail exchanges between Saudi Aramco executives pointing out the ineffectiveness of Saudi forces in dealing with mounting threats of Islamist terrorism. They discuss the lack of security for foreign employees and their families and ask that "hired guns" be retained to provide better protection. Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil company, holds the world's largest oil reserves.
"Aramco and Saudi Arabian forces are completely inadequate in terms of training, capability and motivation," reports one of the executives.
As demonstrated during the last few weeks, al-Qaida and their sympathizers in Saudi Arabia are getting more brazen, despite denials to the contrary. Saudi authorities say they have "dismantled" five of six al-Qaida cells operating in the kingdom. A number of analysts disagree.
M.J. Gohel and Sajjan M. Gohel, London-based terrorism analysts, offer a different view: "The fact that most of the arrests have resulted in open gun battles suggests either that the Saudis are remarkably inept at security operations or that the terrorists know that security forces are coming."
Either way, the situation in the kingdom demands that immediate action be taken.
In their e-mail exchanges, the Saudi Aramco execs talk of "a new level and type of threat to the Kingdom and to expatriate employees" and warn of "a clear danger to Saudi Aramco's expatriates." Their fear that "oil industry workers and non-Muslims in the Eastern province" are specifically targeted, are not unfounded.
The terrorist's ultimate goal they say "is to harm the Saudi government by disrupting Saudi oil operations and, thereby, disrupt the global economy." An unstable economy, al-Qaida hopes, will help them attain their goal: the overthrow of the House of Saud.
Stressing the fact that Saudi forces are not up to the task, the oil executive recommends retaining armed contractors.
"I am going to talk tough, so here is my opinion," he says, suggesting the company retains the services of private firms. "There are contract hired-guns available. Ex-SAS, (British special forces) U.S. Special Forces and ex-CIA operatives have set up private security firms."
He stresses the need for "a team who can take action within minutes and take out permanently any unauthorized armed intrusion."
Yet, despite the killing and kidnapping of foreign workers a number of Saudi officials are reluctant to admit the kingdom faces a crisis. Saleh bin Abdulaziz Al-Shaikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs, agrees there "is a problem," but denies it has reached "crisis levels."
Maybe not, but the British are not taking any chances and emulating his American colleague, Sherard Cowper-Coles, Britain's ambassador Sunday advised Britons to leave.
"The exodus of ex-pats has begun," the Saudi Aramco executive warns. More than 35,000 Americans work in Saudi, mainly in the oil industry, but also as military and civilian advisers. Saudi Aramco employs 56,000 people, of whom about 2,300 are U.S. and Canadian citizens. Another 1,200 are European.
Continued migration of expatriates from Saudi Arabia will affect the confidence of global oil markets. "The kingdom's ability to deliver (oil) will be impacted."
The memo next addresses the issue of dependants. "The security of our wives and children is paramount. We need to have armed guards around the schools, and we also need to erect more barricades." It stresses weaknesses in existing defenses that, it says, are highly insufficient.
The executive points out that employees face "tough and expensive measures." Added security measures, they say, "will take hundreds of millions of dollars or, put another way, one day of revenue."
Asked to comment on the safety concerns raised by its employees, a Saudi Aramco spokesman in Dhahran replied that "the company is doing everything it can to guarantee the safety and well-being of its employees and dependents."
Sources in the private security industry confirm that the oil companies in Saudi are getting edgy and have been approached for consultation.
Elaine Carey, vice president of Control Risks Group, an international firm specializing in security work, said her company had received several requests for security revisions from Saudi oil companies.
One of the Saudi Aramco executives recommends the Saudi Government turn to the British for help. "Counter-terrorism is their forte," he states.
Al-Shaikh, the Islamic Affairs minister sees things differently, and says, "Our assessment of the situation is that it is controllable."
In closing, the report states that the company must "do absolutely all that we can to provide security to people, assets and markets. Otherwise, the terrorists win."
The Saudis say they have the matter in hand despite terrorism analysts - and continued attacks - attesting otherwise.

Gary, If you think you can BS me and others with this posting then you are wrong. I would expect this to come instead from a slippery politician. For your benefit I will repeat my earlier statement: "So far nobody, NOBODY, has presented sound empirical data that proves the porcupine does or does not reduce the incidence of lightning strikes." You, Gary, have not presented any sound empirical data on this subject. Throwing vague references around is like 'smoke and mirrors'. Whether I use a porcupine or do not use one is irrelevant. You have a problem. Doug Subject: RE: [TowerTalk] Lightning I think it was Jim Lux that had an arms length list of references posted about that a day so or ago on lightning prevention with dissipaters. I don't know what this has to do with WD4K? His post does not mention them or allude to them at all. And I don't know how my post got on the same page? My post concerns the fact that the FAA tested them at several locations and came to the conclusion that they did nothing other than become a fire hazard. That's one empirical source for you. NASA is another. If I remember right you spent some money on some of those things and are quite reluctant to bring yourself around to realizing that maybe you have a product that may not give you much in return for your investment. But if you are a believer that's ok too if it gives peace of mind. 73 Gary K4FMX > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug Renwick [mailto:email@example.com] > Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 8:30 PM > To: email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com > Subject: RE: [TowerTalk] Lightning > > So far nobody, NOBODY, has presented sound empirical data > that proves the porcupine does or does not reduce the > incidence of lightning strikes.

What does Precipitation mean?
Definitions for Precipitationprɪˌsɪp ɪˈteɪ ʃən
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word Precipitation.
Princeton's WordNet
the quantity of water falling to earth at a specific place within a specified period of time
"the storm brought several inches of precipitation"
the process of forming a chemical precipitate
precipitation, downfall(noun)
the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)
the act of casting down or falling headlong from a height
an unexpected acceleration or hastening
"he is responsible for the precipitation of his own demise"
haste, hastiness, hurry, hurriedness, precipitation(noun)
overly eager speed (and possible carelessness)
"he soon regretted his haste"
Any or all of the forms of water particles, whether liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, hail, snow or sleet). It is a major class of hydrometeor, but it is distinguished from cloud, fog, dew, rime, frost, etc., in that it must fall. It is distinguished from cloud and virga in that it must reach the ground.
A hurried headlong fall.
A reaction that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid; the precipitate so formed at the bottom of the container.
Unwise or rash rapidity; sudden haste.
had acted with some precipitation and had probably started out upon a wild-goose chase -- Dorothy Sayers
Webster Dictionary
the act of precipitating, or the state of being precipitated, or thrown headlong
a falling, flowing, or rushing downward with violence and rapidity
great hurry; rash, tumultuous haste; impetuosity
the act or process of precipitating from a solution
Origin: [L. praecipitatio: cf. F. prcipitation.]
In meteorology, recipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail. Precipitation occurs when a local portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapour, so that the water condenses and "precipitates". Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions, because the water vapour does not condense sufficiently to precipitate. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapour to the air. Generally, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga which evaporates before reaching the surface. Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud. Rain drops range in size from oblate, pancake-like shapes for larger drops, to small spheres for smaller drops. Unlike raindrops, snowflakes grow in a variety of different shapes and patterns, determined by the temperature and humidity characteristics of the air the snowflake moves through on its way to the ground. While snow and ice pellets require temperatures close to the ground to be near or below freezing, hail can occur during much warmer temperature regimes due to the process of its formation.

The injuries to key players keep piling up, and the Packers keep winning.
If that sounds familiar, it should: It's the same recipe Green Bay followed in 2010 on the way to winning the Super Bowl.
It's far too early to tell if the Packers have that championship mettle again, but their ability to absorb body blow after body blow without losing their hold on first place in the NFC North has been a head-turner.
Green Bay is 5-2 and sixth in The Post's NFL Power Rankings after blasting the Vikings, 44-31, on Sunday night. It was the Pack's fourth consecutive win after a 1-2 start, but even their losses — by six to the 49ers and four to the Bengals, both on the road — were nothing to be embarrassed about.
And they're doing it despite an injury list that looks like a Pro Bowl ballot — tight end Jermichael Finley is the latest addition to a group that includes such critical pieces as linebacker Clay Matthews, receiver Randall Cobb and offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga.
It helps to have Aaron Rodgers, of course, but he isn't putting up his usual eye-popping passing numbers (67 percent completion rate with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions) and his presence doesn't tell the whole story of the Packers' resiliency.
It's just a gritty team all around, one that still has to fend off the improving Lions in their division, but will be a force to contend with once the postseason rolls around.
(Last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Seahawks (1): Since when do road wins have to be pretty? They're still 7-1 for the first time ever.
2. Chiefs (2): One of these days they'll finally play a good team.
3. Broncos (3): Peyton Manning has thrown for 10 more touchdowns than any other quarterback in the league.
4. 49ers (4): Sitting pretty with five wins in a row and now the bye week to get healthy.
5. Bengals (5): Starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest of a dreadful AFC North.
6. Packers (6): They've found the recipe for an instant running game: just add Eddie Lacy and stir.
7. Colts (7): Reggie Wayne's season-ending knee injury is going to hurt — and not just a little bit.
8. Saints (8): The only consolation for the Jets this week is Drew Brees isn't as good on the road. But not by much.
9. Patriots (9): Raise your hand if you ever thought this team would win a game with Tom Brady throwing for 116 yards. A remarkably resilient bunch.
10. Lions (11): Remember when we all laughed at Matt Stafford's massive offseason contract extension? He's the one laughing now.
11. Panthers (15): Three wins in a row, Cam Newton looks like a star again and the defense is downright ridiculous. Quite a turnaround already.
12. Chargers (12): They've allowed just 15 points the past two games combined. This is definitely not a team to sleep on.
13. Cowboys (10): So what if Dez Bryant looked out of his mind? It was about time somebody showed emotion on this perpetually mediocre team.
14. Cardinals (23): With a bye week followed by the Texans and Jaguars, it's realistic they could be 6-4 going into a home showdown with the Colts.
15. Bears (14): Have to go to Green Bay on Monday night with a beat-up defense and Josh McCown at quarterback. Oof.
16. Jets (13): You're going to have ups and downs with a young team and a rookie quarterback, but still … Andy Dalton?
17. Ravens (16): Each of their past four games — three losses, one win — has been decided by three points or fewer. Is this team already emotionally spent?
18. Titans (18): It's safe to say this franchise has had better months.
19. Eagles (17): Remember when Chip Kelly's non-stop offense was going to revolutionize the NFL? Um, yeah, about that …
20. Bills (19): The Saints in New Orleans one week, the 8-0 Chiefs the next. Frying pan, fire.
21. Raiders (24): They have no chance in the ridiculously stocked AFC West, but at least they're interesting to watch again.
22. Steelers (20): They're fourth in the league in yards allowed but 14th in points allowed. You don't see a split like that too often.
23. Dolphins (21): A player getting served with a subpoena in the hallway after a game sums up quite well how things are going for the Fish lately.
24. Redskins (22): "Fire Shanahan" rumblings are starting to be heard, and deservedly so.
25. Giants (29): The NFC East is so awful that the 2-6 Giants suddenly look like the favorite. No, seriously.
26. Falcons (25): It takes some skill to fall this far this quickly. Congrats, Atlanta.
27. Rams (26): How is Kellen Clemens still in the league, much less starting games? That's just bad roster management, Jeff Fisher.
28. Texans (28): Do you think Matt Schaub and Gary Kubiak will use the same moving company?
29. Browns (27): This is Jason Campbell we're talking about, Browns fans. We've seen how this movie ends, and it's not pretty.
30. Vikings (30): It doesn't matter who the quarterback is when your defense is this bad.
31. Buccaneers (31): Conference USA is calling your name, Greg Schiano.
32. Jaguars (32): Too bad the NFL couldn't relegate them while they were in England last week.

Volvo is bringing racetrack engine technology to the streets in your neighborhood. Volvo's partnership with Polestar has enabled the company to design an vehicle that allows the Volvo to bridge the gap between speed and safety.
The Volvo V70 Polestar started as an idea, "What would happen if we build a road car based on what we know of the racecar," said Hans Baath, managing director of Polestar. Well, it would look a lot like this: Black Sapphire or Rebel Blue in color, new front and rear splitters that allows for more efficient airflow, and a brand new engine. This hybrid racecar/road car engine has 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
The five-year journey to get to this point doesn't end here. Volvo and Polestar are looking to better their engines and continue to strengthen their partnership through shared insights and experiences which are essential to the growth of both companies.

Tomas Kaberle, who was carted off on a stretcher following a gruesome hit by New Jersey's Cam Janssen on Friday, was released from a New Jersey hospital yesterday. The Leafs said Kaberle suffered a concussion along with back spasms and neck pains.
Chris Drury feels Tomas Kaberle's pain.
Just 10 days ago Drury was decked by a controversial hit from the Ottawa Senators' Chris Neil, leaving the Buffalo Sabres co-captain with a concussion.
Drury, who hopes to be back in the lineup against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, watched the Kaberle-Cam Janssen incident on television.
"It looked like more (of a late hit) than mine," Drury said yesterday. "Whether he got a shoulder or an elbow to the head, it was the lateness that I noticed. And hitting the boards didn't help him, either.
"I was lucky I didn't have the boards there."
Drury, like the entire Sabres organization, would like the league to take a more firm stance on head shots. Just a week ago, Buffalo owner Tom Golisano sent an open letter to the league and media outlets stressing the need to eliminate blows to the head.
But Drury said such a stand is difficult to police.
"If I'm going against (6-foot-9) Zdeno Chara, his shoulder or elbow is naturally at my head level," he said. "I think each incident should be looked at individually."
While Janssen received a three-game suspension, Neil escaped with no punishment from the league.
"I feel it was likeable with the Drury hit and I pretty much go along with the league's decision," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said of the Janssen suspension.
Janssen, who will forfeit $7,220.16 US in salary, thinks the fact Neil wasn't suspended led to the league taking a more harsh look at the hit on Kaberle.
"It doesn't help me whatsoever what happened with Drury," Janssen said. "On the other hand, I've got to be more careful. Everybody does. You don't want to see anybody get hurt."
So why was Janssen suspended while Neil wasn't?
"The explanation (the NHL) gave us was they felt the time between when (Drury) released the puck and when he was hit was a half-a-second and that didn't justify a late hit," Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn said.
"I don't like those hits (to the head). I commend the league for taking action (on Janssen)."

Because the trailhead is 2 hours away from the house, this was my first time in the area. We started at 6am (which seemed like a late start), summited Grays just after 9, then left Torreys summit at 11, and made it back to the car at around 1:15.

Nehrim and modding the mod
View Single Post
October 6th, 2010, 22:05
Do the "reputations" (something like that) you get have any effect in game or are they just achievement-like things? For instance I was supposed to run down a guy before he could deliver a weapon that had been found and when I caught up to him I pulled out my bow and shot him full of arrows before he could get back to me. For some reason this gave me the :murderer: reputation. I also picked up the :thug: one earlier apparently for friendly fire while in combat.
Spoiler –
About that weapon
OK, so I finished the guy off and grabbed the axe he was carrying. I got a quest message that it would be safer to return it to the depths of the mine or I could keep it for my own uses. I returned to the mine and wandered around but didn't find any special place to secure it. Does it really matter if I keep it or not? Is there actually some place special to secure it?

He is doing the french thing again!
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
The French technique is pretty much obsolete now since the invention of better ice tools and crampons, but it was an important technique in the time of one straight ice axe and crampons lacking the front points. It is still fun to practice that on low angle ice.

Cooper Smith doesn't really see himself as a Kardashian, even though he found himself on a Dallas Morning News list of "16 memorable Dallas couples" with not just one, but TWO Kardashians.
"I'm as shocked as anyone when I say this — the person on that list I'm most like is probably President Bush," Smith said. "Or Kelly Clarkson, because she's such a dork who rambles on and on like me."
Smith and Koch have been together longer than all but two of the couples listed — the Bushes and the Joneses. Many of the straight couples shown have already split up.
Todd and Cooper Smith-Koch are the only gay couple named and are included for the attention they received for appearing in the J.C. Penney Father's Day ad in 2012.
"If they only knew how unglamorous our life is," Smith said.
Smith said he had no idea the Morning News was doing the piece.
Other couples on the list include Cowboys' owner Jerry and Gene Jones, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber (he doesn't live here, does he? We hope not), Sean Lowe — The Bachelor — and one of the 40 or more women he was simultaneously dating on the air, two Kardashians and their current Dallas boyfriends, Kelly Clarkson and her husband and Tony Romo and a variety of his girlfriends.
Smith described his glamorous life. He said mostly they do things like take the kids to school, feed them and put them to bed. He would have talked longer, but he had to run home to get the garbage disposal fixed. Now that's how to really become a Valentine's Day couple.

An amusement park in Kent is auctioning off its log flume ride.
The flume at Dreamland Margate was built in 2001 and originally lived in Bulgaria but it was sold two years ago for £150,000.

The track, which has two drops (one of 20 feet and another of 32 feet) is being sold separately from the eight different logs which belong on the track.
Each one of the logs is being sold separately and the opening minimum bid is a little bit north of £250.
According to Metro, the theme park revealed at the end of 2015 that it had debts as high as £2.9 million.
An agreement has been arranged so that the park has five years to pay back its creditors.
They are currently trying to raise a sum of £500,000 to go some way to paying off debts, which is presumably why they're selling one of their key attractions.
But the log flume isn't the only Dreamland resident looking for a new home.
If that doesn't tickle your fancy how about eight 'Jumbo Dumbos' from a fairground ride, a 'Routemaster Kiddie Ride' or even a dinosaur display model.

text: I am a professionally registered mechanical engineer (received my Bachelors in ME in 1974) who was "expected" to major in music. In my case, I chose to make music my lifelong hobby, not my vocation. I have a good friend who started his college experience as an engineering major, then switched to business. Immediately after graduation, he switched schools and completed a Masters in Music (History, I think). He's been a high school band director ever since--actually, at his old high school--but has performed constantly over the past 25-30 years. Today, he has his PhD and continues to teach. He's never used his business degree. The best advice I was ever given was to do the things that bring me joy. It took me a while to think through that--exactly, what is joy? As an engineer, I've had many rewarding--and some not so rewarding--experiences. As a trumpet player, I can say the same. However, on average, my professional pursuits have brought me "joy." In the end, we all have to decide for ourselves whatever it is that brings us the most joy. The decision is not always easy. One of the saddest things I ever heard was from a local college music professor who told me he never listened to music at home. Music was his job and the last thing he wanted to do at home was work at his job. So, he golfed. However, just imagine how sad that sounds--a musician who doesn't listen to music at home! Depending upon how much time you've already invested in your engineering education, you just might want to consider finishing that program, then pursuing a second degree in music, either at A&M or elsewhere. Who knows, you just might end up designing and building trumpets for a living!

I bought an iphone 4 off ebay that stated it was unlocked. It was not! Paid £70 through officialiphoneunlock.co.uk and waited... The status changed on the 3rd day from 1-5 days to 24-48hrs. Today was the 4th day, I checked at 1300hrs by plugging it into itunes, and it was unlocked. The email to say it was unlocked came through at 1600hrs.
Brilliant!! Very Very Pleased!! Would use again :D :D :D

If you are a collector of pop-culture memorabilia, here's a snippet that is sure to be sweet music to your ears. On March 17, bidding began on a handful of possessions belonging to the musician formerly known as Prince. From the rhinestone-encrusted handcuffs he wore on stage in 1994 (during his performance of 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World') to his Gibson acoustic guitar and some handwritten lyrics — these priceless items were put up for auction by the music icon's ex-wife Mayte Garcia and his former manager Owen Husney.
Included in the items on offer was the diamond ring Prince gave Mayte on their engagement (with bids beginning at $100,000), besides handwritten notes penned by the singer on heart-shaped paper. While several pieces have since found proud new owners, a handful of unsold items are still available for purchase from the Nate D. Sanders auction house. With five per cent of the final sale value headed for a charity that supports grieving children, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of music history, while doing something charitable as well.

Mabilog alerts MIWD on intrusion of salt water-A A +A
Friday, January 3, 2014
ILOILO City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog has alerted the Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) on the possible intrusion of saltwater to the city's ground water table.
Mabilog said he already monitored some cases of salt water intrusion, which has disturbed the ground water aquifers and affected the environment.
The mayor said the city is in need of enough water supply, as the city is hosting the Asia Pacific Economic Council (Apec) meeting by October 2015.
He said he does not want the foreign delegates to taste salt in their water supply.
Mabilog said the resumption of the old regular members of MIWD is a good way to start the New Year and the regular board must come up with measures to ensure water supply to more than 21,000 water concessionaires in the city.
The City is still reeling with water shortage as MIWD failed to supply the needed 25,000 cubic meters per day due to misunderstanding with its contracted bulk water supplier.
Mabilog urged the regular board to conduct a seamless operation since the Maasin watershed and the Cabatuan water sedimentation plant are only producing some 10,000 cubic meters per day of water and very short of the 30,000 cubic meter needs of franchised concessionaires.
Mabilog said he is amenable to the bulk water supply project of a private contractor but the project was stagnated due to misunderstanding between MIWD management and the supplier. (Lydia C. Pendon)

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ; Iraqis Announce New Steps Aimed at Reconciling Sunnis and Shiites
By ALISSA J. RUBIN; Qais Mizher contributed reporting from Baghdad, and Iraqi employees of The New York Times from Hilla and Ramadi.
Published: March 27, 2007
Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani announced Monday that they plan to introduce a proposal that would allow thousands more former members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party to serve in the government.
The plan, if it were to gain approval, would be an important step toward reconciling Iraq's warring Shiites, who lead the government now, and Sunnis, who dominated the Hussein government.
The announcement by the prime minister's office came just hours after the outgoing American ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, gave his final news conference in which he repeatedly emphasized that the Iraqi government's slowness to change the draconian de-Baathification laws, among others, had contributed to American skepticism about Iraq's commitment to finding a political solution to the sectarian strife troubling the country.
The lack of movement had also hampered efforts at reconciliation between the Sunnis and Shiites, he said, since the Sunnis have had little faith that the Shiite government would do anything concrete to help them.
Changing the de-Baathification laws was one of the political goals for the Iraqi government set by the Bush administration six months ago.
Under the proposal by the prime minister and the president, which comes on the heels of meetings held between Mr. Maliki and Sunni insurgent leaders and appears to be an effort to back up his outreach with action, all Baathists would be able to collect their pensions.
In addition, thousands more former Baathists would be allowed to hold government jobs than under the current law. Former Baathists who return to government work would have to sign a pledge that they would refrain from making political statements about the current government.
The law would also set a three-month time limit for Iraqi citizens who have complaints against former Baathists to bring a claim. Then the courts would have six months to rule. Any claims brought subsequently would be thrown out.
The goal of the new law is to take a step toward reconciling Sunnis and Shiites, said Dr. Sadiq al-Raqadi, a political adviser to Mr. Maliki.
''The reason for the new law is that the government wants to finish these cases; they want to close the files of the Baathists,'' he said. ''This is an effort to find a solution for the problem of the Baathists.''
The Iraqi government's move, one of several aspects of reconciliation, comes not a moment too soon in Mr. Khalilzad's view. ''To sustain U.S. support, things have to move at a certain pace,'' Mr. Khalilzad said. And, time is running out, he said.
The United States House of Representatives voted last week to begin withdrawing troops by the fall of 2008, and the Senate plans to consider a less restrictive plan, though it is unclear what the final outcome of the legislative effort will be.
Mr. Khalilzad served for 21 months in Iraq, during the drafting of the country's Constitution as well as the second nationwide election and a referendum approving the Constitution.
If, as expected, the United States Senate approves his nomination, he will become the American ambassador to the United Nations. He will be replaced by Ryan Crocker, a career diplomat, who is currently the ambassador to Pakistan.
The Iraqi government's move to modify the de-Baathification law, if it goes through, would be a victory for Mr. Khalilzad who pushed hard to bring Sunnis back into the government.
Recently, American diplomats and military officials along with Iraqi government officials, including Mr. Maliki, have reached out to Sunni militants in an effort to woo those elements of the insurgency whom Mr. Khalilzad described as ''reconcilable insurgents'' and isolate the most violent elements.
''There is a real struggle going on in the Sunni Arab part of Iraq between those of Al Qaeda and the other more patriotic groups who want a successful Iraq, an Iraq in which everyone's rights is respected,'' said Mr. Khalilzad. Most of these ''patriotic groups'' were linked to Mr. Hussein's former government rather than to the Sunni religious militants with ties to Al Qaeda.
Mr. Khalilzad underscored that there would be no discussions with individuals linked to Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the insurgent group that claims ties to the Qaeda organization, which has been associated with some of the most destructive attacks in Iraq.
Mr. Khalilzad noted that in the six weeks since the American-backed security plan began, attacks had dropped 25 percent. Baghdad seemed relatively quiet on Monday. There were several improvised explosive devices that killed one Iraqi civilian and one policeman. Fifteen unidentified bodies were found.
National Public Radio on Monday reported an episode on Saturday in which gunmen opened fire on children playing soccer in Baghdad, followed by a battle between Sunni and Shiite neighbors. The details could not be verified on Monday.
In Hilla, south of Baghdad, three Sunni mosques were attacked, apparently in retribution for an attack on a Shiite mosque three days earlier.
In Iskandariya, American and Iraqi forces were attacked by insurgents hiding in a mosque who used rocket propelled grenades as well as guns. The Iraqi soldiers entered the mosque and in the course of fighting injured two insurgents and killed one.
The American military also announced that it had captured the leaders of a major car bomb ring in Baghdad responsible for the deaths of more than 900 Iraqis.
Two suicide truck bombs exploded near Ramadi, but initial reports indicated they had killed only the drivers.

On her first day at a new school, Lily befriends one of the daughters of infamous avant-garde painter Evan Trentham. He and his wife are trying to escape the stifling conservatism of 1930s Australia by inviting other like-minded artists to live and work at their family home.
Lily becomes infatuated with this wild, makeshift family and longs to truly be a part of it. As the years pass, Lily observes the way the lives of these artists come to reflect the same themes as their art: Faustian bargains and spectacular falls from grace. Yet it's not Evan but his own daughters who pay the price for his radicalism.
The Strays is an engrossing story of ambition, sacrifice and compromised loyalties from an exciting new talent.
©2014 Emily Bitto (P)2015 Audible, Ltd.
"Treating this novel as a historical fiction risks missing some of its breadth of insight. The Strays is an eloquent portrayal of the damage caused by self-absorption as well as a moving study of isolation." (The Saturday Age)
"Bitto writes beautifully, her prose supple and satisfying, her insights and extended metaphors worth lingering over. Of particular note are her characters' perceptive comments on art and her visceral understanding of the only child's ever-unrequited hunger for inclusion - an inclusion that always falls short of the familial, however vexed or careless that familial connection may appear." (The Adelaide Advertiser)
"Emily Bitto has written a very stylish and enjoyable debut novel." (The Sunday Mail)

Good Points
2.1 Sound (Two NXT Surface Sound Technology satellite speakers and one Subwoofer). Features the revolutionary NXT Surface Sound Speaker technology for wider sound dispersion. Only costs £20 at Curry's (on offer)
Bad Points
None at all!
General Comments
Packard Bell FPS-100 NXT Technology Speakers
This speaker system uses a standard 3.5mm stereo jack, so it can be used with a variety of devices. Supplied with two revolutionary FLAT NXT Technology Satellite speakers and one powerful SUBWOOFER the sound produced couldn't be any better! Produces up to 10 Watts RMS, don't be fooled because the sound is very powerfull. There is also a wired remote which comes off from the Subwoofer with a power on/off button, BASS and VOLUME control switches.
What is NXT SurfaceSound Technology?
A company called NXT have created new technology which is far better than traditional 'cone' type speakers. NXT's technology have enabled them to make flat panel speakers that disperse sound at a wider angle, creating a bigger sound 'sweet spot', so where ever you are the sound from the speakers will seem as if you where sitting right in front of them.
The sound is exceptionally crystal clear. Another advantage is that because the speakers are flat they look extremely sleek and modern in design. It takes up less space on your desktop. It makes people think 'how can these ultra thin speakers create such a powerful clear sound?!'
Other Information
Packard Bell have used NXT's SurfaceSound technology to produce these speakers, so they do have Packard Bell slapped on them. Costing only £20 (£15 off original price at Curry's) it's well worthit. I'm very pleased with the sound quality and the look of this exceptional speaker system. So if your stuck with two tiny desktop speakers which originally came with your computer, its time for you to upgrade!!! Grab ureself one of these Packard Bell Flat Panel Speaker Systems at your local Curry's!

College Freshman Dies From Hazing; Pi Delta Psi Pledge Was Brain Dead, Say Doctors
A Baruch College freshman died after suffering brain damage during a ritual pledging activity for the Pi Delta Psi fraternity. An investigation is underway and the District Attorney has vowed to bring charges against those affiliated with Chun Hsien "Michael" Deng's death.
Deng and approximately 30 members of the fraternity traveled to the Poconos for a retreat. They began playing a game known as "Glass Ceiling," in which a pledge is blindfolded and a heavy item is placed on his back. He must find his way to the person calling his name, and during his trek, other members of the fraternity attempt to tackle him.
Somehow during the game, Deng suffered a head injury and was brought to the house where the fraternity members were staying. No one called 911 immediately, even though he was unconscious and unresponsive at the time. According to police reports, his clothing was changed and all fraternity memorabilia was thrown away.
Nearly two hours later, a fraternity member called authorities and Deng was rushed to the hospital, where he was put on life support. Unfortunately, he passed away just a few hours later. Doctors said he was brain dead when he arrived at the hospital.
The college president said he "had no knowledge of this event or that the fraternity was rushing a pledge class," the New York Times reported. "Pi Delta Psi did not request permission nor were they approved by Baruch on this matter. Michael's death is a deeply painful reminder that no individual should ever be put into a position where his or her personal safety is in jeopardy."
The fraternity has stopped all pledging activities, and their rights have been terminated for the time being.
Monroe County District Attorney David Christine told CBS News that there would definitely be charges filed, though he does not know yet what charges. Christine will wait until the investigation into his death is concluded before filing any charges.
