CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - A Cambridge man is behind held without bail after police say he beat his 73-year-old uncle to death in his home.
Harold Antoine Maxwell was arraigned Wednesday in Cambridge District Court in connection with the death of Jesse Maxwell, whose body was found in his Cambridge apartment late Monday night. He's facing a charge of murder in the first degree.
The 33-year-old suspect was arrested without incident on Tuesday.
An autopsy determined that the older man's death was caused by injuries to the head and compression of the neck.
Authorities did not disclose a possible motive.
Maxwell is due back in court Dec. 19 for a probable cause hearing and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
It was not immediately clear if Maxwell had hired an attorney.

MIAMI - The people of Miami-Dade County voted overwhelmingly in favor of ousting Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Commissioner Natacha Seijas in Tuesday's recall election.
With all the precincts reporting, 88.1 percent had voted in favor of recalling the mayor, and 87.8 percent had voted in favor of recalling Seijas.
Alvarez released the following statement Tuesday evening:
"It has been an honor and privilege to serve this community for the past 35 years. The voters have spoken, and a time of healing and reconciliation must now begin. No matter which side of the recall issue, one thing is certain: We all care very deeply about this community. A professional management team remains in place in Miami-Dade County government, and I know they will work hard to ensure the smoothest transition possible in the coming days. I wish the next mayor of Miami-Dade County much success.
"Public service is an honorable profession, and I want to thank county employees for the good work they do day in and day out. I want to thank all of the volunteers and supporters who have worked so hard on my behalf and ask that they move beyond the recall election and continue to work for the betterment of our community in new and different ways. I wish nothing but the best for Miami-Dade County -- a place I love and will continue to call home."
Frustrations over an unpopular budget that raised property taxes for some county homeowners sparked the movements to recall the mayor and the commissioner. South Florida businessman Norman Braman, who spearheaded the effort to recall the mayor, spoke out about the results Tuesday night.
"Today is the first day, frankly, of a new day for Miami-Dade County. County voters have demonstrated by an overwhelming majority that they feel that they're tired of unaccountable officials, of being ignored and of being overtaxed in these very difficult, difficult economic times that we are continuing to endure," Braman said. "I say tonight proudly, I congratulate the citizens of our community. You have demonstrated that you truly care about your community. Today's voting represents, truly, a referendum for change. The people are not just voting against Mayor Alvarez and Commissioner Seijas. They were voting against business as usual in Miami-Dade."
Braman said none of this was personal. He called on the county commission to immediately schedule a new election for mayor and said he would back candidates who promise to change the structure of county government through charter reform.
Alvarez will remain in office until the election is certified, which could happen as early as Thursday or Friday. The Miami-Dade County Commission has 30 days to decide whether to appoint the mayor until the next general election, which is in January. If not, commissioners could call another special election for the mayor that would be held within 45 days.
Miami Voice, a local political group that spearheaded the effort to recall Seijas, celebrated at a Miami Lakes billiards hall Tuesday night after it was evident Seijas would be voted out of office.
"We have set a precedent for Miami-Dade County," said Miami Voice president Vanessa Brito. "We started with nothing and we ended with nothing except our dignity and the restoration of what democracy is really supposed to be."
"Finally, after 18 years, the people of District 13 have restored democracy," said Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi.
Seijas, a longtime politician who had been easily re-elected since becoming a commissioner in 1993, had said recently that it was an "honor and a privilege" to serve the people of Miami-Dade County.
Despite numerous attempts, Seijas could not be reached for comment. Her aide said late Tuesday that she would not be making any comments nor issuing a written statement.
Joe Martinez, the chairman of the Miami-Dade County Commission, released a statement Tuesday evening assuring Miami-Dade residents that county services would not be affected by the recalls.
"The residents of Miami-Dade County have exercised their civic right and we must all now work together to rebuild our community," Martinez said. "I assure you that the hardworking employees of Miami-Dade County will continue to provide the residents the same level of service we have all grown to appreciate. As chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, I will work diligently with my colleagues and the administration to make certain that the transition is smooth, transparent, and done as quickly as possible. I encourage any resident to contact my office with any concerns."

While making the walk from the subway station to the Ubisoft office in downtown San Francisco, I was mentally preparing myself for a play session with new massively multiplayer online role-playing game. There would be the obligatory genre tropes to consider, such as character classes, item upgrades, side quests, and perks. I'd also likely have to join a party and take on a role of some kind.
Making a hard turn, cutting through a group of hi-tech worker drones on their way to lunch, I ducked down an alleyway toward a back entrance of the Ubisoft offices. A group of Ivory Tower developers dragging on their cancer sticks flanked the double doors leading to the play test. Bellowing behind those doors, I heard the familiar roar of the mythical beasts that would be a central character in this RPG. The sound, however, wasn't the guttural echo that comes from straining vocal chords in a cavernous throat but the inorganic growl of a mechanical beast sucking in oxygen and gasoline while farting black clouds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as if global warming wasn't going out of style.
The RPG I'm there to see is called The Crew (coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Android, and iOS later this year). It doesn't take place in a mythical land of old or a futuristic fantasy landscape in outer space but on the pavement of the United States' highways and byways.
'Roll'-playing game
The Crew's developers from Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections seem eager to push a concept that is heavy on RPG elements. Although this is definitely not the first car-centric title to adopt the systems typically reserved for role-playing design, The Crew is a bit more transparent about its approach. Automobiles are the playable character's race, with certain cars being unable to be assigned certain classes. The Crew has five classes, all containing their own tech tree of parts: Street, Dirt, Raid, Performance, and Circuit. It's like choosing to be a Human Cleric or a Dwarf Warrior, but in this case, it's a Street 1969 Dodge Charger or a Dirt Nissan Skyline GTR. What upgrades you can install on the car is determined by what class tech tree you're concentrating on and what classes the car you've chosen can handle.
Upgrades in the individual tuning classes are like armor and weapon items as well, in that parts have an experience-level prerequisite, with the higher level parts automatically translating to a better performing vehicle. This "higher is better" approach to choosing parts to customize your vehicles is straightforward and uncomplicated. The Crew's upgrade system is not nuanced, like other RPG-inspired driving games, where the best performing vehicle does not necessarily have every high-end part installed. In this game, just put on the highest-rated parts and jump back out onto the street.
You also get a third slot to all of this customization and upgrading, which lies in your gang of car thieves, mechanics, and drivers that appear in the main narrative. Each new member that joins the group brings a set of perks that can affect the overall performance of every car in your garage. Some characters enable players to upgrade physical attributes, such as the grip of the tires or the amount of nitrous that they may spray at once. Others may unlock perks related to driving abilities, such as improving the overall handling of every car.
All of this upgrading is tied to two things, leveling up and in-game currency called "Crew cash." You earn both from completing tasks on the street, but an interesting feature caught my eye during this play session: the inclusion of an option to purchase Crew cash with real money. When asked about this, a representative explained that it was a monetization option. Players would be able to purchase Crew cash as a shortcut to the upgrading process. I found it interesting that a free-to-play mechanism would appear in a retail title. For example, World of Tanks' entire economy seems to work under a similar system being proposed here. We'll have to wait for the retail version to drop to see what this option is really all about.
But we're toying around with parts, upgrades, classes, and perks for a reason: to drive. Once the vehicle is figured out, the game plops the car down into an open-world environment at the starting point of the main mission: Detroit. Now players can choose to go solo, hook up with friends to form a co-op group, or challenge each other as rivals. This concept of merging single-player into a progressive and always active multiplayer world isn't new, but the size of the playable area, which spans the United States and seems to contain most major cities, makes the scope of The Crew ambitious.
The big thing, however, that could make The Crew interesting is the progressive open-world design working with the RPG class elements. Imagine a scenario where you have three other friends helping you clear a challenge. What if, just like in traditional MMORPGs, the challenge requires different classes working together? So maybe the group will need a street racer to handle the busy surface streets, an off-road driver to deal with cutting through the unpaved terrain, and a raid driver to handle smashing into another car. Although I could not get clear confirmation on whether multiplayer co-op challenges will work this way, it could be a possibility considering the game's emphasis on classes.
Breaking from the pack
I'll admit to being a tad jaded. In 2014, if your nonsimulator driving game isn't blurring the single- and multiplayer modes together in an always connected and updated open world, you're behind the times. On that front, I can't twist my words around hard enough to make The Crew sound like a revolutionary concept. It's the heavily pushed RPG elements, in combination with that mode structure, that is intriguing the hell out of me. Its aesthetics and language want me to see homage to multiplayer dungeon-crawler design, but the content is straight car porn.

Finding Shangri-la
At the top of a hill in Shangri-la, hundreds of rainbow colored flags blow in the wind. The flags are used to bless a certain area. Each flag bears an inscription, which the Tibetans believe will be carried away by the winds to spread peace and good fortune.
(Editor's Note: This is the third of a four-part series)
Gone were the jungles. Gone were the gorges. Flat plains of brown replaced lush fields and rolling hills of green. The snow-capped peaks of the day before were still there, but instead of isolated mountains dotting the landscape, these new peaks were the fringes of the continent-spanning Himalayas. This was Shangri-la, on the Tibetan Plateau in the northwest of China's Yunnan Province.
Or perhaps I should call it Zhongdian. To capitalize on the magnetic effect that naming a town or region after British novelist James Hilton's famous fictional locale in "Lost Horizon" has on tourists, the Chinese government changed the name Zhongdian to Shangri-la (San-ge-li-la in Chinese) in 2001.
Whatever you want to call it, I was there to see Tibetans and enjoy the local cuisine: yak dumplings, yak kebabs, yak steak, yak cetera.
After checking into our Tibetan-style guesthouse - our rooms were modestly decorated with a few not-to-flashy wall hangings, hard wood beds and walls made of centimeter thick plywood - Layla, my travel companion, and I walked to the top of a nearby hill to get a look at the city.
Nestled between small, barren hills, Shangri-la looked like an oasis of civilization among desolate surroundings. Larger mountains loomed off in the distance. The sun was hidden behind a sea of clouds. The air was cool, if a bit thin, because of Shangri-la's altitude, which made it both enjoyable and cumbersome while hiking. The city's old town stood out from the modernized sections, the taller buildings of new overlooking the cozy village of old.
The old city was nice for shopping - I picked up a few bags of yak jerky for my colleagues - but Layla and I wanted to see some of the outlying areas where authentic Tibetan culture almost certainly remained alive. We found a small travel group and hired a guide to take us on a culture-themed trek to some villages outside Shangri-la.
The first Tibetan structure we came across was a stupa, an all white man-made construction that looked like a swirly McDonald's ice cream. Stupas, the guide explained, are built to ward off evil spirits. If a disaster occurs somewhere - in the case of the stupa before us, there was a mudslide a few years ago that killed some people - a stupa is built to deter evil spirits from returning and causing similar destruction.
We walked on through hills and valleys, all barren and void of anything green. Occasionally, a random yak would wander onto our path and grunt a few times before lumbering off. At a few sparsely populated farming villages, the locals put their hands up in front of their faces and waved me away. They had spotted my camera, even though I wasn't pointing it at them in some cases.
Near the end of our hike, we stopped at another quiet village for a yak butter tea and yak cheese break with a Tibetan family. Although my stomach churned at the very mention of these local favorites, I knew not eating the food or drinking the tea would be rude.
The village seemed to have more cows and pigs wandering around than people.
Like the landscape outside, the Tibetan family's house was void of anything fancy or exciting. There was one main room with a large wooden pole in the middle. The floors, also wood, were uncarpeted. A large cast iron stove sat in the corner with two wooden benches on each side. The Tibetan family, three women and a newborn child, rolled out their best wooden couch mats for us. A few neighbors stopped by to see these foreign oddities who were so interested in walking from Shangri-la to see these humble dwellings.
Then out came the yak butter milk tea and yak cheese. I sipped and nibbled sparingly, holding the teacup in my hands and moving it to my mouth every so often to create the facade of drinking. With each faux sip, I smiled and received a few smiles from the family.
When we finally left the house, my face had started to hurt. An after effect of the yak cheese? Unlikely. It must be sunburn, but to what extent I didn't know. Later, when I looked at photos, I noticed my face was beet red. The sun hadn't been shining, but Shangri-la's high altitude allowed ultraviolet rays to easily give me a new charbroiled complexion. This would explain why most Tibetans are an earthen brown: their skin has been permanently tanned by the unrelenting sun.
The upside was that I had started my summer tan a bit earlier than most years. I just hoped it wouldn't be too much of a burden on the rest of the trip, especially since our next destination was the lakeside city of Dali and its touristy, yet relaxing, environs.

Natural gas drilling boom
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Fort Worth Business Press reported that the Barnett Shale natural gas drilling boom has had an economic impact of $65.4 billion in North Texas since 2001 and now supports, directly and indirectly, 100,268 jobs in 24 counties, according to a report by economist Ray Perryman. MarketWatch.com, CNBC.com, and other media reported that more than $5 million in royalties has been paid to The University of Texas at Arlington since wells on campus started production in 2008.
Working with a new partner
UMED Holdings, Inc. Tuesday announced that it has retained the national public relations firm Martin E.

Voting district proposal
WFAA/ABC 8 interviewed Allan Saxe, a UT Arlington associate professor of political science about the Fort Worth School Board's plan to consider a new voting district.

See something, say something
KXAS/NBC 5 reported on the UT Arlington Police Department's "See something, Say something" program modeled after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security program, which encourages people to report any suspicious activity they see in public.

Schuylkill man jailed for assault
A Schuylkill County man was jailed over the weekend for aggravated assault and related offenses.
State police at Frackville said about 10:50 p.m. on Saturday, June 30, Andrew Bassininsky, 26, and a 23-year-old female, not identified by troopers, became involved in a verbal argument at their residence at 44 Line Ave., in Cass Township.
During the argument Bassininsky allegedly spit on the female and pushed her to the ground and struck her in the face several times. She attempted to run from him but he again tackled her to the ground. Bassininsky then reportedly attempted to suffocate her by placing his hand over her mouth and nostrils. While doing this, Bassininsky told the victim he was going to kill her.
Bassininsky briefly got off the victim to shut a window to prevent neighbors from hearing her gasping for air. When he did the woman fled the residence and called for help.
Bassininsky could not be immediately found and an arrest warrant was issued to him. He turned himself into troopers on July 1. He was later arraigned before on-call District Judge Christina Hale, of Frackville, and committed to the county prison in Pottsville in lieu of $100,000 straight cash bail.

Top Design, Episode Six: "Eco-Offices"
Top Design, Episode Six: "Eco-Offices"
In the latest episode of Top Design, the remaining designers tackled a project near and dear to my heart: renovating a space in a green fashion. Guest judge Danny Seo, whose green designs and ideas I love, offered the contestants advice on remembering the R words (reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose, and be resourceful, among others) in their spaces.
The designers were challenged to use all materials in the office (including ugly desks and bad carpet). They were also given fabric remnants to work with instead of new fabric as well as low VOC paint. Contestants were paired with clients and challenged to renovate their office spaces in an environmental manner.
Some designers were gung-ho about this challenge, while others were immediately put off by the idea. In particular, Eddie came off as a snob, calling his client a dork, berating him for his use of the word "funky," and then repeatedly uttering "Ew" as he had to do the demeaning work of going through boxes of fabric remnants. Oh, the horror!
To see who won and who had to leave the show,
Just as the contestants were beginning to ease into their design ideas, India Hicks presented the designers with a twist: the contestants had to hand the keys to the office space over to another designer. This meant that the designers then inherited the prior design decisions of their fellow contestants.
Overall, the designers did a much better job this week with their designs. I loved Ondine's water bottle chandelier, and I liked Preston's bookshelf and defined, elegant use of color on the walls. Oh, and I also was coveting India Hicks' dress. Was that eco, too?
Wisit had to leave for his dull, ultraminimalist, and uninspired office space, and Eddie won the challenge. Luckily though, we were treated to a final operatic swan song from Wisit.
What struck you as particularly good or bad about this decision? Who did you want to go? Did you think Eddie deserved to win?

OXFORDSHIRE'S accident and emergency departments have again missed a target to treat 95 per cent of patients within four hours.
The latest statistics, published by NHS England yesterday, show Oxford's John Radcliffe and Banbury's Horton General hospitals took in 2,206 patients in the seven days to Sunday.
But 191 patients waited more than four hours to be treated, meaning 91.3 per cent were treated within the target time.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the hospitals, has said many people are attending A&E who could be treated by other NHS services.
Since October 20, it has hit the weekly target twice.

Halloween house 'too gory for kids'
A man who put up a gory Halloween display of disembowelled corpses outside his home has been told by police to tone it down after a passer-by said it made their child cry.
James Creighton, 25, decorated the outside of his house with skeletons, bloodied corpses and cobwebs in a display dubbed Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The bar owner transforms his house in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, every year to raise money for the Cancer Research UK charity in memory of his grandmother Betty, who died from the disease in 2009.
But he had a nasty shock when two police officers knocked on his door to tell him a parent had complained it was frightening children.
Mr Creighton said: "The police came round knocking on my door. They said they were sorry to disturb me but they had a complaint from a member of the public who walks past my house in the morning.
"Apparently their child starts crying every time they walk past my house.
"I was shocked - more to the point that the parent couldn't come to the door themselves and speak to me personally, but had to get the police involved and waste their time.
"Police have asked me to put black tarpaulin along the fence so the kids can't see it, but why should I do that? It ruins the whole rest of the display for everyone else.
"All the other kids love it. It is just this one who doesn't like it.
"It is a bit gruesome, it's a bit gory, but that is Halloween, it is meant to be fun and scary. It is all for a good cause."
Mr Creighton put the gruesome decorations up outside his home at the beginning of the month to mark Halloween and to support Cancer Research UK.
He creates the display every year in tribute to his grandmother, a Halloween enthusiast who died from lung cancer, and claims this is the first complaint he has ever received.
Last year he raised £1,100 for the charity, and has collected £1,358 so far this month.
The 25 year-old said he was "disappointed" when police told him about the complaint on Tuesday lunchtime because the exhibition is "just a bit of fun".
He said: "It is all for a good cause. I've done it for three years and I've never had a complaint before.
"It all started when I was a teenager and my nan and mum threw a surprise party for me and my mates. They decorated the whole of the inside and outside of the house. Ever since then I've got into it. It is carrying on that legacy.
"Halloween is packed with people on my street because of my house. Everyone has been complimentary saying they love it. I've never had any negative feedback.
"I'm very disappointed, I would have liked the person to come and speak to me. I was willing to compromise with the person if they were prepared to come to my door, it would have been a lot easier than getting the police involved."
Despite the objection, Mr Creighton, who has received donations from as far afield as the US and Mexico, said he is determined to keep the display up and raise as much money as possible for charity.
He said: "I'm definitely going to keep it up, but it has made me think that for next year I might be a bit more wary, which is a bit of a shame.
"But I'm not going to stop. It is something that reminds me of my nan and it is for a good cause."

UCI sues Floyd Landis
Rough time for cycling.
let's forget the pros and just enjoy riding.
All this talk is ruining my viewing of giro de Italia.... and commercials.
Other than saying 'stop it' to Landis, what does this accomplish? If he looses, it's just a slap on the wrist.
Crimes against "the integrity of cycling"??????? First, they must prove that there is integrity in pro cycling. I'm not sure they can bear that burden!
Doping, equipment cheats, PEDs, Schleck being pulled ON CAMERA halfway up Sierra Road (then tossing the water bottles away that he grabbed to get the pulls) -- how many got a pull off camera?, the annual team-stealing ritual . . . there IS no integrity in pro cycling. Who are they trying to fool? (It's not going to work. This can only play out badly for the UCI.)
Seriously, when will it end? I mean c'mon. Bunch of drama queens. These guys need a day job.
They all have some growing up to do.
Sounds like a useless law suit....
Why on earth would the response for this be sweet? Floyd Landis botched up the timing of his doping, lied about it, then told the truth. If he were lying about LA, why are so many others telling the same story, whether they want to or not?
Prior to and since Floyd, the UCI has been known as an agency that favors certain riders over others.
I think what Floyd did was disgraceful (and he is now disgraced), and his dishing the dirt on the private life of LA was just plain dumb and hurtful- but this is obviously the UCI just trying to posture up and act like a legitimate agency.
To be honest with you, living in SoCal, if I were to see Floyd on the street, I'd probably ask him to go riding around my neighborhood, then buy him a beer or 3. The dude has been humbled, and will never make another penny cycling.
Suing him in a Swiss court will do what? Make it so if he ever goes to Switzerland, he will owe someone money?
Regarding cycling, it's made up of cool people and haters. The old saying, "Haters are going to hate" is still true. Not much we can do about that except try to skew public opinions the other way by being good cyclists. Cheers
It would be even more obvious if they try to sue Hamilton :) And now the lab director confirms the meeting but not the cover up.
Time's up for UCI, other entity should be created, even the pro cycling community is tired of them.
And the UCI is a model of integrity? Please, give me a break! The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.
They had better hope that Lance doesn't talk.

MH17 father: Football is helping me cope
A GRIEVING father who lost his son in the MH17 disaster told yesterday how the football fraternity is helping him through his "nightmare".
Barry Sweeney returned to refereeing last weekend for the first time since the death of 28-year-old Newcastle United fan Liam.
He took charge of a pre-season game in Northumberland between New Fordley and the Barrington Arms, Bedlington.
Liam was on his way to watch Newcastle play in New Zealand when the Malaysia Airlines jet was blown out of the sky over eastern Ukraine last month.
Yesterday, Mr Sweeney, 52, said: "These last couple of weeks have been like living in a nightmare but I've had a lot of support from some lovely people. I refereed a pre-season match last Sunday and the lads were fantastic. They gave me a bit of stick and that's the norm being a ref, I wouldn't want it any other way.
These last couple of weeks have been like living in a nightmare
"But after the match, some of the lads put their arms around me and gave me a bit of a cuddle as a show of support.
"I really appreciated it. It was a nice touch. A few of the local matches have also held minute's silences for Liam and the other victims and that was also much appreciated.
"My aim remains, though, to bring my son home."
A team of 80 Australian and Dutch investigators spent five hours at the crash site on Friday, despite clashes nearby between the Ukrainian army and pro-Russian separatists.
Investigators are said to have recovered human remains and passenger belongings after searching farmland near the crash site.

Since next week will be crowded with CES 2014 mobile announcements, including of high-profile, high-end devices, it's probably wise for brands that aren't quite household in the business to take the wraps off their latest budget-friendly contenders while people still care.
Acer is certainly on the same wavelength, so with the risk of no one visiting their Vegas booth starting Monday, they've earlier today introduced the Liquid Z5.
There's nothing special about the big-bezeled handheld, save for its incredibly low price point: €169 ($230) in Europe. Too bad only France, Benelux, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ukraine and UK are slated to get the entry-level 5-incher at this time, beginning in mid-January.
Those of you lucky to reside around those parts should rejoice at hearing the Liquid Z5 runs a relatively new version of Android, 4.2 Jelly Bean, out the box, and packs a spacious 2,000 mAh battery. Another strong suit looks to be the slim profile (8.8 mm thin), with the list of features going downhill from there.
How bad do things get? Dual-core 1.3 GHz MediaTek CPU, 512 MB RAM, 5 MP rear cam, VGA front snapper, 4 GB built-in storage bad. And the icing on the cake (in a bad way) is the horrendous 854 x 480 pixels resolution of the 5-inch panel, working out to a cringeworthy 196 ppi pixel density. But you know what they say, keep your eyes on the prize price.

A source of consternation and the butt of many jokes in the first month and a half of the season has become an area of strength for the Dodgers in the last two weeks.
A bullpen that absorbed its share of beatings in April and early May entered Saturday night with a 1.30 earned-run average, a .107 batting average-against and an 0.60 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning) in 13 games since May 21, all major league lows.
"We've had more consistency," said closer Kenley Jansen, who has anchored the relief corps with a 1.29 ERA and 16 saves in 18 opportunities in his first 22 appearances.

If you dont know what is causing the aging process to occur, you dont know why we age. U can say x stops doing this, and therefore y happens, with Z result. Then the natural next question is, well what causes x to all of a sudden happen in the first place? Thats when ya get stuck. Therefore, not knowing why it happens. That is why it says it is poorly understood. Poor cannot be a passing grade. Sorry.
And whether u believe it or not, Jesus helped create the very brain you use daily. The best computer on earth pales in comparison to it. So how could Einstien ever have more intelligence than Jesus? Jesus job was to preach the kingdom message, not to show off his eons of superior Intelligence. Whales look like fish, bats look like birds, the earth appears to be a sphere hanging on nothing. Even today, knowing what we know, that all still holds true. And in the grand scheme of the bible, ITS IRRELEVANT! Just as God is irrelvant to Lucy seekers.
U aint ever showed me ur peoples. Cuz u aint never finding them. Meanwhile, Jehovah said thousands off years ago he will have a people for his name that will make up alll nations, in united worship of him, and the good news will be preached in the entire inhabited earth.

Equipment Important to Making Stocks, Soups and Stews
The batterie de cuisine of the most humble kitchen can produce the tools to make a soup. A knife...a pot...a stove. But to make the full range of stocks, soups and stews in this book calls for something more. These are suggestions for equipment to help -- not absolutely necessary but definitely desirable.
It is always possible to substitute this pot for that one, or borrow one from a neighbor, but there is one tool that is essential to every kitchen -- a sharp knife! One knife in particular -- the French or cook's or chef's knife -- is a necessity in the kitchen to transform stalks, roots and leaves into all the different shapes and sizes appropriate for soups and stews.
All knives cut but no knife cuts and chops as well as this. A French knife usually has a blade 8 to 10 inches long. Volumes have been written about this one knife, and a cook's apprentice learns early on to protect the blade with the same fierce devotion that a samurai shows for his sword. It is a cutting tool with a shape that has been honed and refined to near-perfection by generations of cooks; the French knife is to the cook what the chisel is to the sculptor -- a hand instrument without which a professional or a serious amateur cook can hardly function.
The ability to use the French knife does not come overnight, however, but is acquired gradually with each onion chopped, each carrot diced, and each stalk of celery sliced.
Two kinds of steel are used in the French knife as well as other knives used in the kitchen -- carbon and stainless. The carbon knives have been admired for years because they hold a keen cutting edge -- but they are easily tarnished by acidic fruits and vegetables. Until recently most stainless steel blades were difficult to sharpen and they held their edges poorly. This changed in recent years with the introduction of new high-carbon stainless steel blades, especially those from Solingen, Germany. They now equal the best of carbon steel knives. I have only stainless knives in my kitchen now, and they area joy to use because they are rust- and stain-free.
The classic French knife has a triangular blade, the cutting edge turned to a gentle curve toward the tip. When selecting a French knife, make terrain the tang (the obverse end of the steel) is thick and runs the whole length of the handle and is visible on top and bottom. Wooden handles that have been impregnated with plastic can withstand frequent washings in hot water. Choose a handle that allows your fingers to grip firmly without the knuckles hitting the cutting board when dicing or slicing. Make sure that the knife you choose is comfortable for you.
The drawings illustrate the proper way to hold the knife. In the beginning it may seem easier to let the index finger rest on the top of the blade. Don't do it -- it makes chopping difficult and tiring.
When guiding vegetables under the blade, do so with the knuckles of the other hand held curved against the blade to protect finger tips!
Also important to the care of a knife is a sharpening stone and a steel -- a length of tapered rod to restore the edge of the knife each time before it is used.
Two other knives recommended for a kitchen in which a lot of soups are made area 4-inch paring knife and a 6'-inch utility knife.
Stock Pot
The stock pot is designed especially for its job -- fall and narrow, so that the liquid bubbles up through the layers of meat, bones, vegetables and aromatics to create a rich flavorsome stock. At the same time, the narrowness Of the stock pot reduces evaporation and conserves the liquid.
A stock pot is great to have but good stock can be made almost as well in pots and kettles designed for other jobs.
If you are in the market for a stock pot, what size should you choose? Buy the largest you think you will need -- and then double it. Stock pots for the home kitchen range in size from a small 4-quart pot upward to 20- and 22-quart vessels. Some of the larger ones are made with a spigot to drain oft the stock or consommé without disturbing materials floating on the top or resting on the bottom. But these pots with spigots are expensive and their use in the home kitchen probably does not warrant their cost.
I have a medium-weight black aluminum-alloy stock pot in which I made all of the stocks and consommés in the book, with a yield generally of about 6 to 8 quarts. This always gave me enough stock for the soup preparation at hand as well as a supply to freeze and use later.
If you are puzzled about the relationship of the pot size to the amount of the stock produced, keep in mind that much of the bulk is caused by the bones and vegetables that are discarded after they have given up their flavors. The stock itself is only part of the volume.
Saucepan and Sauce Pot
A saucepan is more than the small vessel in which to warm the baby's bottle. It and its larger companion, the sauce pot, are two of the most important utensils in the kitchen.
The saucepan, the smaller of the two, has a long handle with which it is moved around on the store or lifted oft. It may also have a loop handle on the other side to hold if the pan is especially heavy. The saucepan comes in a range of sizes from 2 cups to 15 quarks.
The sauce pot is identical in use but for larger quantities. It has two loop handles, rather than a long one, for lifting truly heavy loads. Sauce pots come in sizes ranging from 8 quarts to 15 gallons.
Both the saucepan and the sauce pot have tight-fitting lids.
The sauce pot is probably too large for most kitchen stoves, but it is worth considering if the guests are many and frequent.
To determine the size of the pot best for your kitchen, figure that a modest serving of soup and stew is about 1 1/2 cups per person. So, to make stew for a party of 8 would require a 4-quart pot at the very least. A 6- or 8-quart pot would give a comfortable margin.
In my kitchen I have 12- and 8-quart sauce pots with loop handles only. Next in line are the saucepans -- 1 1/2, 2, 3, 4 1/2 and 6 quarks. The 4 1/2-, 6 1/2- and 12-quart models are used the most. The ones I like best are of black aluminum alloy with tinned iron handles to retard the passage of heat. Infrequently I use a copper sauce pot.
Casserole (metal)
A vessel of equal utility in the kitchen is the casserole that can be used both in the oven and on top of the stove. It is used for many dishes and comes in many sizes, shapes and materials. Some are cast iron; others are of stainless steel, aluminum, and on and on. Some are round, others are oval. Some have stubby handles while others have loop handles.
Double Boiler
The double boiler is an ideal vessel in which to cook cream soups and other mixtures at temperatures below boiling without the risk of scorching and curdling. The Pyrex glass double boiler holds only 1 1/4 quarts but allows you to see whether the water in the lower container is boiling or simmering.
Chinois or China Cap
A chinois is a metal strainer, conical in shape and size and reminiscent of the Oriental head covering of another era.
Its long, sturdy handle makes the chinois easy to hold or rest over a bowl as stocks or soups are poured through it. It comes in a range of hole and mesh sizes. Solids are pureed by pressing them through the holes with the specially designed wooden roller that usually comes with this utensil.
The chinois alone is usually sufficient to strain most stocks and soups. For a clearer liquid, cheesecloth is draped inside the chinois and the broth goes through both meshes.
An ordinary sieve is good for straining, but most have limited capacity, when stock is poured through to separate the liquid from the solids. With care, however, it can be used.
A colander, a less sophisticated piece of equipment, does a valuable job in the kitchen for washing and draining food. In a pinch, the colander can be lined with cheesecloth for more subtle straining, but it is not ideal.
While timing is not as critical in making soups and stews as it is in baking pastries or breads, it is important to go back to the stove at intervals to check progress. It is easy in making soup to go off and forget about the project because of the length of time some soups and stews are on the store. A timer will remind you that something is cooking.
My favorite is a round 60-minute timer on a cord that I wear around my heck whenever I leave the kitchen. It is made by Terraillon and sold in most gourmet cookware shops and by catalog.
Is it a simmer? Is it a hard boil? Which? To make this determination by sight comes with experience (pages 20-21) and a thermometer can be of great help in deciding which it is.
The Taylor Bi-Therm Pocket Dial Thermometer (0°F. to 220°F.) is an accurate instrument to check temperatures of liquids. It is held in the soup only momentarily and then withdrawn. It is especially helpful in determining the temperature of hot soup before it comes to a simmer.
Other Equipment
Other tools to be found in a well-equipped soup kitchen would include a food processor, a blender, food mills, slow cooker, mixer (with meat grinder), scales, ladles, wooden spoons and spatulas, slotted spoon. For the times when it is impossible to get the temperature lower without shutting oft the heat, a metal or asbestos heat diffuser placed under the pan is effective.
Perhaps a microwave oven has a place in soup-making but I am uncertain where. Of course it is excellent for thawing and heating soups and stews that have been frozen.

Complete Book of Soups and Stews, Updated
He covers a wide range of soups, from Asparagus and Crab to Peach Buttermilk, and American classics such as New England Clam Chowder, Burgoo, and U.S. Senate Bean Soup share the spotlight with such international gems as Japanese Shabu-Shabu, Nigerian Peanut Soup, and Scottish Cock-a-Leekie Soup. After a thorough discussion of the many kinds of stocks, from Brown Stock to Dashi, Clayton includes, for those of us who are time-pressed or just plain lazy, the pros and cons of homemade versus store-bought stock, along with tricks and tips to improve the latter.
Clayton's first book, The Complete Book of Breads, won the coveted Tastemaker cookbook award and was praised by Craig Claiborne as perhaps the best book on the subject in the English language. Of Clayton's The Complete Book of Pastry, which also received a Tastemaker award, Claiborne said: "One of the most important cookbooks of this year if not this decade."
With recipes that are well written and easy to follow, Clayton shows that soup making is neither time-consuming nor difficult, and in any case is well worth the effort.

I (relatively) recently had the opportunity to attend an SCA camping even with a friend who loves historical authenticity as much as I do, if not more. As part of our weekend, we planned to cook our meals from entirely period sources. A number of the dishes were from Libro de Cucina, written by an "Anonymous Venetian" somewhere around the 14th century. While the entire weekend was done in medieval style, Sunday dinner was our high point.
My favorite part of cooking from historical cookbooks is the implied knowledge; at the time of writing, so much more was expected of a cook in the kitchen. There are largely no measurements, cooking times, or temperatures, and it's up to the cook to determine the best combination of the above. This is where I thrive. Despite being a cookbook author, actually following recipes is not my forte. In fact, my tendency to not measure things was my downfall when adjusting recipes for Feast. Cooking is undeniably an art, and those of us that cannot follow modern recipes are simply a bit...erm...more free handed in our composition.
Our meal included roasted sweet and sour pork, tredura, sprouts of life/health, bread, and candied nuts. I was a bit nervous about the pork, as it called for egg as a thickening agent and I wasn't sure how that would work out. Turned our phenomenal, and I will absolutely be using the recipe again. The tredura was amazing, as anything cooked in bacon grease is wont to be. I do love a good chopped leek. We did well getting our greens in, a problem I usually encounter whilst camping.
We clearly made far too much food for the two of us, and certainly had to share. We brought our candied nuts to court (ahem), and they were a big hit. This is probably the recipe that I most heavily redacted, as the recipe described a very in-depth and long process. I was personally tickled by the recipe's use of "six Our Fathers" as a length of time. Find my redaction after the jump.
CXXVII To candy fresh almonds, peaches, walnuts that are perfect, neither too hard nor too soft etc. Take the said items, peel them and put holes in them, the walnuts want six holes each, the peach pits six, the almonds four. These should be put in water, the water should be changed every day until the nuts are sweet, then boil them in water, the walnuts should be boiled for half an hour, the peach pits and almonds from when they start to boil for a quarter of an hour. Then put them to dry in the shade and in the wind in a fruit basket under a lattice for three days, the peach pits and the almonds for two. Then fill each hole with gloves, cinnamon and ginger. Then let them boil in honey for the time it takes to recite six "Our Fathers". Take them out of this honey and boil them in fresh honey until that honey is cooked. Then powder fine spices above the honey and put them in a closed pharmacy pot in the sun for the space of five days. The peach pits should be made the same way except that they should be boiled in the first honey until it is cooked, there is no need to change them to fresh. Note that the almonds will not last past the middle of April in a hot location, because their skin will become too hard. -Libro di Cucina, Anonimo Veneziano (translated by Louise Smithson)
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- Cinnamon and ginger to coat
In a non-stick saucepan, combine the almonds, sugar, and honey before the pan is put onto the heat. Turn heat to medium and stir constantly until he sugar melts and coats the almonds. Cook till the sugar turn amber, but does not burn. Remove from heat and spread on parchment paper or a silpat. Let cool and coat with the cinnamon and ginger mixture.

Conditions at Wolf Creek are great despite the lower than usual snowfall! It was a last minute decision to open the ski area on Saturday, November 12 with only Nova Lift. The weekend storm brought in 6 inches of wet snow that got Nova running followed by Treasure Chairlift on Sunday. Bonanza is scheduled to open Thursday mid-morning. Wolf Creek had 130 happy skiers and boarders on Saturday, and over 200 on Sunday — not bad for a quick jump-start.
Wolf Creek has received over 34 inches of snow since October — not quite what we have been seeing over the past few years but still enough to have fun with. There are a number of early season obstacles – so skiers and boarders are reminded to use caution on the mountain.
The Ski School is available for ski and board lessons with both private and group instruction; the Wolf Pup Program is open and operating for children ages 5 to 8 with special facilities just for kids. The Wolf Creek Lodge is open serving a full menu for lunch and snacks. The Ski and Board rental departments are open along with Treasure Sports.
The Bonanza chairlift, opening Thursday mid-morning, will provide lift service to Divide Trail, Powder Puff Valley, Upper and Lower Windjammer. Beginner and intermediate skiers/boarders will enjoy these trails with more terrain opening as it becomes available. Currently Tranquility, Bonanza Road, Treasure Falls, Upper and Lower Treasure are open for those who enjoy getting out on the mountain to check out the early season skiing. Four inches of new snow on Tuesday morning improved conditions while we wait for more. Expert terrain including: Montezuma Bowl over to Step Bowl is open; Alberta Face, a local favorite is open to challenge experienced skiers.
Wolf Creek is offering discounted rates of $30.00 for Adults and $17.00 for seniors and children until more of the mountain opens.
Skiers and boarders are reminded to "think snow so that Mother Nature preserves Wolf Creek's reputation for great early season skiing! Wolf Creek is ready to welcome the Thanksgiving Day guests with friendly service and a unique ski experience. Please check out Wolf Creek's web site, www.wolfcreekski.com for updates on conditions, events and prices or call 970-264-5639 with any questions.

Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
Pets on Rental Property
I own a single family home in virginia. I just rented it out to a couple who told me that they had pets. In the lease I allow one dog only. After they moved in, I saw that they have four pit pulls in a kennel in the back yard. I would prefer not to evict them due to the hassle of that process. Can I be held liable if their dogs are aggressive? I am afraid that if I make them get rid of three of the dogs, then they might not take care of my house! Should I just let the dogs stay as long as they remain in the kennel? They told me that the dogs stay in the kennels all the time. I was very specific about not allowing them in the house for obvious reasons. (I have wood floors and they would be destroyed) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Pets on Rental Property
Why not amend the lease with a rider which would include a surcharge for the
unauthorized dogs and specific conditions as to how these dogs are to be maintained on and with respect to your property? (Pit bull dogs have by now nearly acquired almost automatic recognition as inherently dangerous animals. One elderly lady was mauled to death by one or more of them in Stafford County about two years ago and the owner is now serving time in the state penitentiary for negligent homicide.)
However, whatever you do, do not succumb to fear and intimidation and allow these renters "to be the boss" of your property.
Re: Pets on Rental Property
You might want to do an addendum to the lease that clarifies the situation. In other words, state that the dogs are not allowed in the house, that they should be kept in the kennel unless they are leashed and that the tenants agree to indemnify and hold you harmless for any damage caused by the dogs.

Maternal Age Linked with Autism Risk
Researchers now say they've confirmed that maternal age is linked with a significantly elevated risk of autism in children. And the father's age may not matter as much as previously thought.
The research from the University of California – Davis was published online today in the February issue of the journal Autism Research. The study is important since it's one of the largest to quantify how each parent's age (separately and together) impacts the risk of autism in children.
The risk of having a child with autism increased by 18% for each five-year increase in maternal age. This means that a mom aged 40 is 50% more likely to give birth to a child later diagnosed with autism than a mom aged 25 to 29 years.
Janie Shelton, lead author of the study and a doctoral student at UC Davis, said:
"This study challenges a current theory in autism epidemiology that identifies the father's age as a key factor in increasing the risk of having a child with autism. It shows that while maternal age consistently increases the risk of autism, the father's age only contributes an increased risk when the father is older and the mother is under 30 years old. Among mothers over 30, increases in the father's age do not appear to further increase the risk of autism."
Among the births to moms younger than 25, children fathered by a male more than 40 years old were twice as likely to develop autism compared to children whose father was between 25 and 29. However, for moms more than 30 years old, the increased risk of older dads went away.
For the study, researchers used e-records detailing all live births in California between January 1990 and December 1999. The records included both the maternal and paternal ages of parents. To find out which kids developed autism, researchers used records from the state Department of Developmental Services.
All said, the research included approximately 4.9 million births and 12,159 cases of autism.
Researchers aren't yet sure why advanced age affects autism risk. Some theories include maternal antibodies to fetal brain protein or an accumulation of environmental chemicals in the body.

If you want to get to know members of the community, the "sphere" or "Boxxysphere" / "Boxxosphere" as it were, there are several good ways.
On this particular blog post, I'll focus on the chatrooms.
- IRC. Old one registered June 30, 2012. New one launched Feb 24, 2013 run by KernelPone, myself, CommVenus, and Marklar. At almost all times I am present in the IRC channel in some form or other.
- Visit the tinychat room boxxytruth. It is a room where a lot of people from the dark side of the sphere hang out. It is actually a lot nicer there than uni is, maybe because of the non-anonymity?
- The alternate tinychat room boxxyunion. These rooms often have "directory" turned on so on occasion there are a lot of tinychat users in the room that don't know who Boxxy is and/or get spam from people using tinychat spam bots.
- There is the official tinychat room of the forum. It's name is not published in the tinychat directory and has strict rules. If you want to join, you have to be signed in using a tinychat account and you need to be well enough known on the forum or IRC for the moderators to recognize you otherwise you may be banned as soon as you enter.
What is Tinychat you ask? It is a website that lets you get in chatrooms where up to 12 users at a time can get on camera & microphone, or just text chat like most do. You don't have to create an account, just pick a name when you join. (except in certain rooms where they ban you for not being signed in)
What is IRC and how do I use it? IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. (Wikipedia) It is a technology that has been in use on the internet years before the first web browser was invented. Anyway if you have an IRC client program such as Hexchat already installed, you can follow this link to get to the Boxxy IRC channel: irc://irc.catiechat.net/boxxy or manually enter IRC server: irc.catiechat.net, ports: 6667 then join the channel: #boxxy or you can do it the easy way, by going straight there right in your web browser and picking a nickname: https://chat.catiechat.net or as a backup: http://mibbit.com/?server=irc.catiechat.net&channel=%23Boxxy Registering is optional.
All the information about this new IRC network is at www.catiechat.net. Also a page here about it www.boxxy.info/irc
Come, stop by to say hi to other Boxxy fans in any of these chat rooms.

Why lower dry bulk scrappage is positive for shipping shares
The significance of scrapping level and shipping rates
For a short- to medium-term assessment of supply and demand dynamics, investors can look towards ship scrappage (retirement) activity. The rate at which companies scrap ships often reveals whether the dry bulk shipping industry is facing excess capacity. When excess capacity pressures the shipping industry, firms will often retire older ships to relieve pressure on shipping rates and maintenance costs.
Interested in NM? Don't miss the next report.
Receive e-mail alerts for new research on NM
Scrapping activity shows falling trend
On September 6, the total number of ships retired since IHS Global Limited began collecting the data in 2005 rose to 2,157 ships—an increase of six vessels from 2,151 ships on August 30. So far, shipping companies have broken up 313 ships since the beginning of this year, which represents 3.71% of the 8,428 available ships reported at the beginning of the year. The eight-week rolling average number of ships being scrapped stood at 6.25 vessels, which remains in a downtrend from the peak seen in 2012. This scrappage has helped keep the supply increase lower, particularly among Supramax vessels, supporting shipping rates.
Falling scrappage is actually positive, not negative
At the start of the year, 6% of existing vessels were above the age of 25–the age that companies estimate to be the average useful life of each ship. Although companies often report the number of ships available to scrap as evidence of limited supply concern, the reality is that several ships do celebrate birthdays beyond 25. Companies are also unlikely to scrap ships just because they're old. Companies will often try to hold on to old vessels as long as they can find customers to use them. So although the industry can scrap another 200 ships, investors should see falling scrappage as a positive sign that shipping rates are rising.
Current trend positive for dry bulk shipping companies
As long as scrappage activity falls, it's a positive indication that managers expect rates to rise in the future. The current trend is positive for dry bulk shipping companies such as DryShips Inc. (DRYS), Diana Shipping Inc. (DSX), Safe Bulkers Inc. (SB), Navios Maritime Partners LP (NMM), and Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NM).

Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Termation of Parental Rights
Is it possible to collect back child support (3yrs. worth @ $96.00 a week) and still make the biological father give up his parental rights? He hasn't had any contact with our 7 year old son in over 5 months; I have been remarried for 2 years and we have a son. My new husband is more of a father than the biological father ever thought about being we are afraid if something happened to me the court will make my son go live with his real dad. What should we do?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Termation of Parental Rights
Your husband will not be able to adopt the child until at least 12 months of non-support or 12 months of failure to comunicate with the child. After that he could file a stepparent adoption petition and the Court would be authorized to terminate the biological father's parental rights and allow your husband to adopt the child. While his obligations for future support would be terminated as of that date, the child support obligation that has accrued up to that date is a judgment which is unaffected by any such termination and could be collected by contempt, garnishment, levy on real or personal property and so forth.
Re: Termation of Parental Rights
After I reviewed your message again, I noted that you indicated that he has failed to support the child for over 3 year; thus, your husband is able to file the adoption now. I suggest you contact an attorney to make certain that these important matters are properly done.

Hey Chuck,
Did you ever consider the incredible and devastating effects a gambling institution has on a community. When gamblers cash runs dry? Prostitution sets up shop, underage gambling, drinking, binge gambling, increasing foreclosures on top of what we have...and then all these people will need social resources since no one has health insurance, day care, etc....When gamblers have no more money and no one is gambling, there's suddenly a big white elephant crumbling on 200 acres now. Penn will build it for nothing practically, since Penn will be collecting 30-40% profit margins over 10 years, so they will easily make up the 110 million and in exactly 10 years they will leave. And now look what happened to a prime piece of property in Austintown, that could have sustained a new home development (that collects taxes for 50-60 years) or a mall perhaps, or large anchor stores, or anything else but a casino. Any answers for that Mr. Carney. Ever wonder why the area around Mountaineer looked the way it does, but Mountaineer looks like they are the only ones in town with cash? I DIDN'T THINK SO. And don't bring up a vanished industry in the Wheeling area from the past. Smart local and state political leaders could have brought in lots of other companies with proper legislation. Hope you're alive in 10 years to see what your support will bring.

Blame the harsh winter for the galaxy of potholes on city streets and the spike in complaints from New Yorkers.
The Department of Transportation told a City Council transportation committee hearing that the city has received nearly 9,000 pothole complaints so far this year, 35 percent more than last year at this time.
"It's really bad, terrible," said deliveryman Michael Acevedo who must navigate the minefields everyday just doing his job.
"The only way to avoid them is to fly over," Gobin Raghunandan said just after passing through a particularly bad stretch on West 48th Street.
NBC New York wanted to find out if anyone had taken the time to report this on the city's 311 website. And there it was: a complaint from February 15th, a complaint not yet remedied.
The DOT says it has filled more potholes to date in 2011 than during the same period in 2010, making more than 117,000 repairs -- a 62 percent jump over last year.
Getting ahead of the holes in the asphalt is going to take some extra cash, and Mayor Bloomberg has pledged an added $2 million for extra crews working weekdays and weekends.
The curious and concerned can track repair work on the 311 site by clicking on the project map and following the prompts for such identifiers as location and type of complaint.
The DOT's new Daily Pothole blog states repairs are taking an average of less than three days.
That's an average, not an always.
