|Scientific classification
Gloyd, 1979
|D. acutus
|Binomial name
|Deinagkistrodon acutus
(Günther, 1888)
- Common names: sharp-nosed pit viper, sharp-nosed viper, snorkel viper, hundred pacer,[2] Chinese moccasin,[3] more.
Deinagkistrodon is a monotypic genus[4] created for a venomous pit viper species, D. acutus, found in Southeast Asia.[1] No subspecies are currently recognized.[5]
Back is light brown or greyish brown, with a series of dark brown lateral triangles on each side. The two pointed tops of the two opposite triangles meet each other at the mid-line, forming a series of about twenty light brown, squarish blotches on the back. A row of large black spots extends along each side near the belly. The top and upper sides of the head are uniformly black, with a black streak from the eye to the angle of the mouth; yellowish below, spotted with dark brown. The young are much lighter than the adults with essentially the same pattern. The head is large, triangular, with an upturned snout. The body is very stout. The tail is short, ending in a compressed, pointed slightly curved cornified scale. The top of the head is covered with nine large shields. Dorsal scales are strongly and tubercularly keeled. The subcaudals are mostly in pairs, some of the anterior ones are single. This stout snake, usually between 0.8 and 1.0 metre (2.6 and 3.3 ft) long, reaches a maximum length of 1.57 metres (5.2 ft) in males and 1.41 metres (4.6 ft) in females.[6] The largest specimen on record measured approximately 1.549 metres (5.08 ft).[7]
Common names[edit]
Sharp-nosed viper, snorkel viper, hundred pacer,[2] Chinese moccasin,[3] Chinese copperhead,[8] five-pacer, hundred-pace snake, long-nosed pit viper, sharp-nosed pit viper,[9] hundred-pace pit viper.[10] The snake has been an object of veneration by indigenous Taiwanese peoples.
Geographic range[edit]
Found in southern China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong), Taiwan, northern Vietnam, and possibly Laos. The type locality was not included in the original description. It was later given as "Wusueh [Wu-hsueh], Hupeh Province, China" by Pratt (1892) and Pope (1935). Listed as "Mountains N. of Kiu Kiang" in the catalogue of the British Museum of Natural History.[1]
This species inhabits high, forested mountains up to 1,350 metres (4,430 ft), but has also been found in low coastal regions (100 metres (330 ft)). It prefers lower mountain slopes or rocky hills with small valleys.[6]
This is a nocturnal species. It was generally discovered by day on rocks or among vegetation along banks of streams, or in firewood near houses, or even in houses.[6] When encountered it may appear sluggish at first, but it is capable of striking vigorously when threatened.[3]
The diet of this species consists of small mammals such as rats and mice, birds, toads, frogs and lizards. Herpetologist Ermi Zhao reported a specimen of a total length of 1.04 metres (3.4 ft) and weighing 600 grams having eaten a specimen of Rattus rattus of a total length of 51.5 centimetres (20.3 in) and a weight of 530 grams.[6]
As one of the few oviparous pit vipers, this species can lay up to 24 eggs, which may be retained during initial incubation—an adaptation that shortens post-deposition incubation time. However, It generally only deposits 11 or 12 eggs from June to August. Egg size is 40-56 x 20–31 mm. Hatchlings are lighter and more vividly patterned than the adults, but this darkens considerably with age.[2][6]
Dangerous animals often have exaggerated reputations and this species is no exception. The popular name "hundred pacer" refers to a local belief that, after being bitten, the victim will only be able to walk 100 steps before dying. In some areas, it has even been called the "fifty pacer." Nevertheless, this species is considered dangerous, and fatalities are not unusual. An antivenom is produced in Taiwan.[2]
Brown (1973) mentions a venom yield of up to 214 mg (dried) and LD50 (toxicity) values of 0.04 mg/kg IV, 4.0 mg/kg IP and 9.2-10.0 mg/kg SC.[11]
According to the US Armed Forces Pest Management Board, the venom is a potent hemotoxin that is strongly hemorrhagic. Bite symptoms include severe local pain and bleeding that may begin almost immediately. This is followed by considerable swelling, blistering, necrosis, and ulceration. Systemic symptoms, which often include heart palpitations, may occur suddenly and relatively soon after the bite.[3] Because of its body size and large hinged fangs which permit effective delivery of large quantities of venom, victims bitten by this snake should be treated accordingly.

Eurobike and the world of white.
White may be the color of 2008 if the European market is an indicator. FSA's Wing Pro aluminum bar, OS-115 stem, XC180 flat bar, XC 282 riser bar, SL280 alloy and SL250 seatposts all will be available in white next year.
Somebody keep DG from seing this!:eek:
The rear triangle on my Look KG481SL is white and I have had a few white components over the years (including a rear derailleur) and I don't like white paint on bikes. :p
White looks great on a bicycle when it's clean which is almost never if you actually ride the bike. :rolleyes:
I'd repaint my Look if it was feasible but I guess I'll keep using exorbitant amounts of diluted Simple Green to keep it reasonably clean. ;)
What goes around comes around.
Capo #2 (1960) is a subdued cream white, with a red head tube and some red on the seat tube.
My son's 1969 Camaro is white with a blue interior, which I think is a great combination.
I have told you guys about my friend who claimed about 35 years ago that "God rides a white Masi."
So what bike should I buy next, to replace my white Roubaix? :D
You never ride white after Labor Day -- everybody knows that! :)
Best to get is a Mountain bike- Scratches come with ease but you can't see them because of the Mud.

Release Date: 2008 |
Album Rating: 1.5I'm probably way too harsh and rambling, I just feel strongly about this
queen didnt stay in once place either until halfway through their career
Digging: Motorpsycho - The Tower
Weird conclusion but I agree with a lot of your points.
worthless compilation agreed
This could be done right though with proper sequencing.
Album Rating: 1.5ridiculous track listing...honestly
Ramble on
Digging: Ross From Friends - You'll Understand
I understand the purpose of them, but God, I hate any kind of "Greatest Hits" albums.
record companies innit
ey up
yeah it'd be like RATM or Tool or SOAD making one
the flow is all ruined
fuckin emi
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights
Usually when someone wants a simple introduction to a band, the first thing they look for is a greatest hits collection. If the band is highly popular, they will have one. They are usually satisfied with this record. Most "best of's" are a good way to introduce the band to someone who hasn't listened to their music before. It is an easy way to learn the most popular songs of the band and, later on, get into the deeper cuts.
best of's are the worst fucking thing ever, they ruin albums cuz you'll know like 2-3 songs from each really well so when you finally jam the full album, you'll already be sick of 2 or 3 of the songs it's the fucking worst
"They have gone from grunge, to-"
"grunge, to"
Ok I agree with your point, however this isn't an album review. Would have been easier just to comment
on someone else's greatest hits review with "Radiohead shouldn't have a greatest hits album". Instead
you take four paragraphs to say it.
I don't mind if Radiohead compilations exist, but I hate that doesn't even have a lot of their best stuff like "the national anthem", "the gloaming", "myxomatosis", "backdrifts", or "Dollar and Cents".
I guess the record company was going for the most commercial tracks. I also agree that this reads more like an opinionated rant than a review. Like others I agree with a few of your points but, honestly, who the hell cares if they release a greatest hits? I personally think this is a great introduction for new listeners. the tracklist choice is pretty diverse and captures their different stages. I wont pos or neg, though.
Yeah i don't like greatest hits comps at all but i also dont like radiohead so
Paranoid Android merits this at least a 2.5

Tour de blast .. ride report.
Well the weather was better than anyone expected today. Got a little spit of rain about five minutes on the way up, but that's about it for rain. The wind at the top was another story. I darn near got blown into the guard rail several times on the last 1/4 mile to the top.
The wind took all the fun out of the first descent :notamused:
Aside from it just being a great day to ride I am pretty exited because I cut a full 50 minutes off my time from last years ride! I am pretty stoked about that number. Mind you last year I had only been riding for three months, but still.
At the end of the ride I was putting my gear in the truck and a twenty something guy a few cars down says I remember you. I said oaky ... Then he says I passed you on a down hill and then after the hill you just went motoring on by me! I told him I was on a mission from God. I hope he has seen the Blues Brothers movie. Otherwise he probably just thinks I am nuts. I guess I should mention that I am 51 as of a few days ago.
I was on a mission of sorts. At the last rest stop I realized that my time was pretty good and I was not all that tired. So I decided to hammer the rest of the ride. After around 65 miles of riding and 6000 feet of climbing I was hitting speeds that I have never hit on any of my training rides.
Sorry to toot my own horn here .. just a little exited :D
You will be happy to know I only ate real food on the ride today :)
Congrats to you too. That looks like such a great ride. And that's a big improvement in time.

While the theme for the second annual Maine LGBT Film Festival is "Sharing the Stories," last year's theme also rings true for the quality and scope of this year's festival: "It Gets Better."
While the inaugural LGBT film fest took a cue from Dan Savage's popular YouTube videos, this year's will have local LGBT community members standing up and sharing their stories with the audience at The Grand in Ellsworth.
"As much as people liked watching, say, Jane Lynch and her partner talk about it getting better for them, the people at the annual Maine LGBT Film Festival really enjoy seeing the people from Maine talking about how it gets better," said Robin Jones, director of film programming for The Grand.
The theme and local testimonials are two of the three major changes from last year. The third is a performance from a Portland-based burlesque troupe called The Dirty Dishes Burlesque Revue at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. "They're sex positive, queer positive, but ultimately fun positive," Jones said of the troupe.
While the festival has seen some growth and change, the emphasis on quality films and telling stories from the LGBT community remains the same.
"When I first started working for art-house movie theaters, it was astonishing how few and paltry the films made by and for the LGBT community were," Jones said. "Bringing it up to now, that is not the case at all. We had a ton of titles that had to be sifted through before we were able to pick the ones that we ended up picking."
This year's lineup includes "Pariah," an indie favorite from first-time filmmaker Dee Rees about a Brooklyn teenager trying to find her identity; "Weekend," a critically acclaimed British import which Jones likens to a "gay, British 'Before Sunrise'; "3," from "Run Lola Run" and "Cloud Atlas" director Tom Tykwer; and "Becoming Chaz," a documentary chronicling Chaz Bono's very public journey to getting where he is today.
"This is everyone's opportunity to come see stories from different parts of this universe, and to see how much alike they are, and maybe how specific to that character or that country they may be," Jones said.
You can either buy passes for the whole festival, which runs Oct. 19-21, for individual days, or just to see the Dirty Dishes Burlesque Revue. A whole festival pass, Jones says, is the best way to ensure you'll get in to whichever shows or events you're interested in. For a complete schedule for this year's Maine LGBT Film Festival, and for festival pass information, visit www.grandonline.org.
This year's Maine LGBT Film Festival is sponsored by The Maine Community Foundation, Down East AIDS Network and Make Beautiful Tribe, and Mainers United for Marriage will be at The Grand for the entirety of the festival.

Falcons hold off Raider upset bid
steve shinko / special to the times news Tamaqua's Michael Taylor goes up for two as Salisbury's Mike Schantz defends. Looking on is Salisbury guard Jake Kovach (14).
Without its leading scorer and with two of its starters in foul trouble, Tamaqua came up just short in its upset bid of Salisbury Saturday.
The Blue Raiders were unable to take advantage of Salisbury's 2-for-10 foul shooting in the fourth quarter, losing 59-57 on their home court.
"I'm happy with our effort, but I'm not happy with the outcome," said Raider head coach Jay Daubert. "A couple mental mistakes, a couple missed shots that we thought we should have had and the game goes the other way."
Behind by a few points for most of the game, Tamaqua (2-5 overall, 0-2 Schuylkill League) took its last lead on a Michael Gurcsik basket with 4:27 left in the fourth quarter that made it 53-52.
Salisbury's Christian Diaz, a senior transfer from Freedom, made a three-pointer to put his team ahead 55-53 with 4:11 to go. Over the next minute Gurcsik and Spencer Bennett both fouled out. Tamqua was already playing without its leading scorer, Anthony Bumbulsky, who missed the game due to injury.
Salisbury's poor foul shooting kept the Raiders in the game. A Michael Taylor three pointer got them within one, 57-56 with 1:36 left. But Salisbury (4-1 overall, 2-1 Colonial League) increased its defensive effort in the final two minutes to hold off the Raiders.
"We should have sealed that game at the two-minute mark," said Falcon head coach Jason Weaver. "We were lucky to get out of here with a win."
Salisbury jumped out to a sizeable lead in the first quarter, going ahead 9-2 in the first four minutes and 19-11 with 56 seconds left in the first period.
Taylor caught fire in the second quarter and led the Raiders back. The 6-foot-1 senior guard made five of seven shots in the second quarter, including two of three from beyond the arc and four of four from the foul line. He had 16 of his game-high 27 in the period, but his team was still down 33-31 at the half.
"He's capable of putting up 20-25 any night," Daubert said. "And when he does that it gives us a better chance to win games."
Tamaqua outscored Salisbury over the final three quarters but couldn't make up the first-period deficit.
"When they were man-to-man [in the first quarter] we were able to get some penetration, able to get some good looks," Weaver said. "They went zone and we got a little stagnant with our shots selection and moving the ball. They started feeding off that and our defense, we still gave up 13 points in the first quarter so it wasn't like we were playing awesome defense."
Salisbury came into the game off a 10-day break and two days without practice.
Tamqua faced a six-day break after the nonleague weekend game.
"We've got a long layoff here, we don't play until next Friday," Daubert said. "We've got four days of practice coming up. It would have been nice to go in on a win rather than a loss."

Bulger Trial, Week 2: Former Hitman John Martorano Takes The Stand
In federal court today, John Martorano referred to Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger and one of his top lieutenants as "my partners in crime, my best friends, my children's godfathers." Then he admitted in calm, chilling detail that he killed people — at least 20 of them — on behalf of Bulger. He also said he sold the rights to his life story to a movie producer for a quarter of a million dollars.
Just another day in the federal courthouse in Boston.
Martorano, a close associate of Bulger, spent 12 years in prison for his crimes. He struck a deal with federal prosecutors and is now a key witness in the case against Bulger, who's on trial for 19 murders, extortion and racketeering.

By recently graduating 10 Winter semesters, the Founder Institute has now launched exactly 500 technology companies across 26 cities and five continents on the anniversary of our three years in operation. Our goal, however, is to launch 1,000 companies per year in 35 cities worldwide, so we are looking for the next great emerging startup hubs to launch our program and jumpstart local startup ecosystems.
VentureBeat covered the news here. Leave us notes in their comments - where should we expand to next?
The Founder Institute is now on pace to launch an average of two companies per day worldwide, and our growth is accelerating. The Institute currently has over 400 enrolled entrepreneurs across our 15 currently operating semesters. When these chapters Graduate at the end of the Summer, we expect to surpass 700 companies launched.
Our model for expansion works because, rather than trying to bring entrepreneurs from other markets to Silicon Valley, we "Globalize Silicon Valley" and create sustainable, local startup ecosystems in new markets from the ground up. In particular:
- We gather the experienced founders and leaders in the ecosystem to run local chapters, and these Directors provide the next generation of founders with structured training and expert feedback.
- We screen local applicants using a proprietary Predictive Admissions Test, which was developed with leading social scientists and is regularly calibrated to identify personality traits of successful entrepreneurs.
- We leverage a network of over 900 global Mentors, bringing top-rated US Mentors to international markets to share their knowledge and provide a global perspective.
- We emulate the teamwork and pay-it-forward culture of Silicon Valley in local markets through our unique Graduate Liquidity Pool, which shares the equity upside from each graduating class with the local graduates, Mentors, and chapter Directors.
When surveyed, the main motivation for the 42 local Directors is to help the next generation by bringing people together, to build the local ecosystem, to participate in a global network, and to learn from the lessons of others. If you are interested in bringing a chapter to your city, you can apply to be a leader here.

Two area Tusculum College educators received major honors from the college's Alumni Association during Homecoming events on Oct. 14, as did a local TC staff member who is herself a Tusculum College alumna. Professor of Psychology and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Melinda Dukes of Johnson City received the National Alumni Recognition Award from the TC Alumni Association during its annual meeting Saturday morning on the campus.
Professor of Education Dr. Jim Fields of Chuckey received the National Living Faculty Award, honoring him for outstanding contributions to Tusculum College and the field of education. Director of Development and Alumni Relations Susan Vance of Greeneville, a 1991 Tusculum College graduate, received the Alumni Association's Frontier Award, presented each year to an alumnus or alumna in recognition of outstanding or meritorious advancement in his or her career.
The awards were made in the Chalmers Conference Center of the Niswonger Commons on Saturday morning at an annual meeting of the Tusculum College Alumni Association.
Presenting Dr. Dukes' award was Bob Riser of the class of 1962, a member of the Alumni Executive Board. He praised Dr. Dukes, who joined Tusculum College in 1989, for her ability to combine academic theory with "civic engagement." She has led her students in working in several notable community projects, including one that helped a regional non-profit organization secure a sizable grant.
She received the Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award in 2001 from her fellow faculty members. During 2006 she served as interim Provost for the college until the arrival of Provost Dr. Kim Estep. Dr. Dukes is now Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, working closely with Dr. Estep.
Presenting Dr. Fields' award was Paige Mengel, a class of 1988 alumna and member of the Alumni Executive Board. Dr. Fields, she said, came to Tusculum in 1993, and has taught in both the undergraduate and graduate level program. He holds a doctorate in educational leadership from East Tennessee State University, and has approximately 11 years of collegiate teaching experience.
He has been extensively involved in the Tusculum College governance process and has worked with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Also receiving a major alumni award was Peggy Brewer, a former two-year president of the Tusculum College Alumni Association. Brewer received the Pioneer Award, the highest honor given by the Alumni Association. Tusculum College President Dr. Dolphus E. Henry presented the award.
Brewer, of Morristown, retired from TVA to become president of a family business, Twi-Lite, Inc.
Presenting Vance's award was Tusculum College Vice President for Institutional Advancement Mark A. Stokes, who is Vance's current supervisor and also was her supervisor when she was a TC work-study student in the early 1990s.
Vance is well known in Greeneville for her earlier work on the staff of the Greene County Partnership and as Marketing and Corporate Development Manager at Freewill Baptist Family Ministries, a nonprofit Christian child and family care ministry in Greene County. She has been a successful fundraiser both at Family Ministries and at Tusculum College.
Highlighting Homecoming activities was the Saturday afternoon football game between the Pioneers and the Blue Hose of Presbyterian College. The final score was 30-21 in favor of Presbyterian.
Halftime was marked by the annual crowning of the Homecoming Queen and King and the presentation of the Queen's Court. Seniors Anup Kaphle of Nepal, an English major, and Angel Connell of Waynesville,Ga., a political science major, were named King and Queen, and crowned by President and Mrs. Dolphus Henry.
Representing the Freshman class were Alex Smith and Ashley Shoults. Sophomores were represented by Erin Moore, Randi Williams and Caitlin Castainca.
Representing the Junior class were Octavious Love and Jessica Love, and Cody Greene and Sudipa Shrestha. Representing the Senior class in addition to Kaphle and Connell were Rodney Peebles and Melina Villarreal, Glen Black and Amy Carlson, and Justin Higgins and Maureen Cathers.
A Homecoming Parade featuring antique vehicles provided by the Ridgerunners antique car club and music from the award-winning Greeneville High School Greene Devils Marching Band preceded the football game. The band also played a pregame program in the stadium.
The parade's grand marshals were members of the Class of 1956, this year's "Golden Pioneers." They and other alumni were hosted in a Friday night alumni dinner at Link Hills Country Club, a Friday afternoon tea at the residence of President and Mrs. Henry, and a Saturday evening dinner and dance at the General Morgan Inn and Conference Center.
Other Homecoming activities included campus tours and a Sports Hall of Fame/All-Alumni Breakfast on Saturday morning, where three former Tusculum College student-athletes and coaches were inducted into Tusculum Sports Hall of Fame: the late Tusculum basketball coach George "Folly" Malone and former Pioneer baseball players Chad Busch and Anthony Mercurio.
A golf tournament, round-robin tennis event, oral history workshop, and a memorial service for alumni who died within the past year were also part of the weekend. Other activities included a trip to Myers Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze, storytelling at the Doak House Museum, a "Century of Style" architecture exhibit at the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library.
More than 200 alumni participated in the event, with many more friends of Tusculum College also taking part in at least part of the weekend festivities. The theme of the weekend was "Explore the Past, Experience the Present."

Mario Balotelli's pledge to Brendan Rodgers seals £16m Liverpool move
MARIO BALOTELLI will officially become a Liverpool player on Tuesday and insists he is a reformed character.
The striker flies back to Merseyside tomorrow after a swift trip back to his Milan home, having convinced Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on Friday night that he has matured and won't let his new club down.
The controversial one-time bad boy of Manchester City was told in no uncertain terms that he would be put up for sale if he did step out of line either on or off the pitch.
That's why the £16million deal is packed full of incentives and penalty clauses which has seen the AC Milan striker agree to halve his basic pay packet.
Balotelli was also keen to return to the Premier League to escape the racism which has surrounded him in Italy.
Rodgers will have the 24-year-old available for the trip to Spurs next Sunday.
He had a chequered past but was a model professional in his second spell at Anfield and an example to everyone in how hard he worked
Although a number of ex-Liverpool stars have expressed surprise in Rodgers pushing the shock transfer through, former boss Kenny Dalglish said: "There are plenty of examples of an 'enfant terrible' arriving at a club with a reputation and then behaving perfectly."
Dalglish admits eyebrows were raised when he signed Wales firebrand Craig Bellamy.
"He had a chequered past but was a model professional in his second spell at Anfield and an example to everyone in how hard he worked.
"Every time a football club signs a player, it constitutes a risk. It is just the risks come in different guises. With Balotelli the risk is nothing to do with his ability to play.
"Some of his performances for Italy in Euro 2012 made him look unplayable."

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Back in the 1990s when DART built the first leg of its North Texas rail system, developers were late to catch the train.
It took several years before commercial real estate investors and builders figured out what the transit system would mean for the Dallas area real estate market.
"At that time we didn't have a good grasp on what transit oriented development was and what it meant," DART president and executive director Gary Thomas said in an interview.
Real estate developers have certainly caught on since then.
The folks at DART and the University of North Texas just completed a study of the impact of the commuter rail system on the Dallas-area real estate market.
Since the first transit-oriented project – Mockingbird Station – was announced in 1997, the private sector has spent more than $1.5 billion on real estate developments adjoining DART's rail stations.
The bulk of that – more than $1.1 billion in property value – has been for apartments and retail construction near the transit stops.
"If we look at what has been planned and under construction within these areas, that's another $3.8 billion of development activity," said Terry Clower, director of UNT's Center for Economic Development and Research, who worked on the study for DART.
The biggest of those is developer KDC's huge Richardson CityLine project which includes a regional campus for State Farm Insurance, shops, apartments and hotel rooms. The total value of just that one deal is about $1.5 billion.
"In terms of sheer percentages the State Farm project is the large one on the board right now," Clower said.
DART's real estate development study doesn't even include huge public-sector projects located next door to the rail stations, including the Parkland Hospital and the Dallas Police Headquarters in the Cedars district.
And DART doesn't count projects downtown at all for its figures, only developments outside the central business district.
"There is a lot of that happening in and around the stations," Thomas said. "As the economy continues to improve we are seeing this really take off."

There's no evidence that a self-proclaimed satanist serial killer, who claims to have victims in Alaska, is actually connected to any unsolved murders here, Alaska State Troopers said in a statement Tuesday.
"At this time the Alaska State Troopers are not aware of any information -- beyond Barbour's comments quoted in the press -- or evidence that would implicate Barbour with a homicide committed in Alaska," AST spokeswoman Megan Peters wrote in an email Tuesday.
Miranda Dean Barbour, 19, grew up partly in North Pole and Mat-Su, attending high school in Palmer before moving to North Carolina.
She is charged with murder in the November stabbing death of a 42-year-old electrical engineer in Pennsylvania.
In a jailhouse interview Friday, she told a Pennsylvania newspaper that she'd killed at least 22 people during her teenage years, including some in Alaska. She also said she was involved with a satanic cult operating in North Pole and the Mat-Su Valley, according to the Sunbury, Pa. Daily Item newspaper.
Late Tuesday, the FBI issued this statement:
"The FBI is currently assisting local police in the investigation into whether or not Miranda Barbour is linked to any additional murder victims. It is anticipated that the investigation will take some time to complete."
The statement didn't mention Alaska specifically.
Barbour's claims have been the subject of intense media attention in recent days, with Alaska law enforcement sources fielding dozens of calls from national and international media.
On Tuesday, the Anchorage Police Department said it had been "in contact with authorities in Pennsylvania," in a statement from spokeswoman Jennifer Castro.
"We will thoroughly investigate any claims that would require the assistance of our agency and as details become available from leading authorities," she said. "We have not been made aware of any activities occurring in our jurisdiction at this time."

Julian Fellowes's Titanic miniseries airs in the United States April 14 and 15; it's already begun to air in the United Kingdom, to mixed reviews.
In the superficial hottie area, Titanic doesn't seem to offer much; the excellent actor, Toby Jones, appears in it, but he's hardly delicious eye candy (no offense, Toby). ABC, which is showing it in America, is of course hoping for Downton Abbey-style success.
Unlike Downton Abbey, however, everyone knows how it ends—will you be watching?

The relatively vibrant media environment worsened this year owing primarily to new government restrictions on reporters. Media freedom is guaranteed under the constitution adopted at independence in 1975 and the Papua New Guinea Media Council (PNGMC) is a strong lobby group in support of news organizations and professional standards. However, at times the news media clash with the government when defending freedom of the press. In August 2006, the government imposed restrictions on journalists covering a state of emergency in the Southern Highlands province. Among these restrictions was the introduction of a permit system for journalists wishing to travel to the mountainous province, which has been troubled by prolonged tribal warfare. Acting Information and Communications Minister Patrick Pruaitch justified the new requirements as a way to ensure "positive reporting" by local and international media. The media saw the requirements as an attempt to control negative reporting that may reflect poorly on the government, and PNGMC president Peter Aitsi called for the restrictions to be lifted. Despite these restrictions, no journalists were attacked for their reporting in 2006.
Both daily newspapers are foreign owned but provide contrasting viewpoints. The PNG Post-Courier, founded in 1969, is owned by a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, and the rival National is owned by a prominent Malaysian logging company with a major timber and investment stake in the country. Papua New Guinea's only television station, EM TV, is owned by Fiji Television Ltd. The state-run National Broadcasting Corporation is also a significant media company, and the major commercial radio network is run by partly Fiji-owned PNG FM Pty. Ltd., operating Nau FM and Yumi FM. The internet is unrestricted by the government but is accessible to less than 5 percent of the population.

LONDON (Defecated News) - Boffins at the University of Southampton Colonisation Research Of The Earthlings (U-SCROTE) have advised the government AGAINST planned solar landings and possible subsequent solar colonies.
The plans were to send groups of volunteers to live on the Sun hoping that they could make good use of their solar panels, and reduce electricity bills. This would have been filmed and watched back on Earth Big Brother stylee in a show called I'm No Celebrity, It's Hot Up Here. But it seems this may not work.

MISSISSAUGA, ON--(Marketwire - Mar 26, 2013) - When Steve Morris founded EXIT Realty Corp. International in 1996, he imagined a company where everyone in the corporation could get a piece of the action thereby creating a future for real estate agents that never existed in the industry before. Sixteen years, hundreds of offices and thousands of agents later, the company today announced that it has paid out to-date, more than a quarter billion dollars in single-level residuals to its associates across the continent.
"And this is just the beginning," said Tami Bonnell, CEO. "As EXIT Realty continues to grow through a spirit of mentorship, this number will increase exponentially as more and more agents and their families reap the benefits of being associated with an organization that is truly revolutionizing the industry."
EXIT Realty's unique business model known as the EXIT Formula, provides a third income stream in addition to the traditional streams of taking listings and making deals. Through a process known as "sponsoring" EXIT associates earn a 10% single-level residual paid by EXIT Realty Corp. International based on the gross commission of those real estate agents they introduce to the company and are hired. When the associate retires or decides to take time off for maternity leave, an extended vacation, etc., the 10% sponsoring bonus converts to a 7% retirement residual. And if something should happen, the agent's family is looked after too when the residual converts to a 5% beneficiary benefit.
"Residuals are the icing on the cake for our associates," said Morris, "but the cake is substantial all by itself. Our training, technology, leadership, company culture and support are just a few of the reasons real estate entrepreneurs are attracted to our organization and why they stay, building meaningful, rewarding and lucrative careers. We value each and every one of them -- it's a love affair."
About EXIT Realty: EXIT is a proven real estate business model with brokerages across the U.S. and Canada and has to-date, paid out more than a quarter billion dollars in single-level residual income. For agents, this means security, stability and direction and for agents' families, security in the form of beneficiary and retirement residuals. State-of-the-art technology including TORC, EXIT's Total Office Resource Center, provides an integrated, end-to-end solution for today's busy real estate professional. A portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT International is applied to its charitable fund. To-date, more than $2 Million has been pledged to Habitat for Humanity.

► INSULT TO INJURY: At least one University of Georgia football fan claims to have had more to be disgruntled about than the team's Saturday loss to the University of Colorado Buffaloes. In a letters-to-the-editor blog in the Boulder Daily Camera, Monticello resident and 1983 UGA grad John Brown Jr. wrote, in part:
Though the outcome of the game was not to my satisfaction the Buffaloes are to be commended for their effort in defeating my beloved Bulldogs. Folsom Field is certainly a beautiful place to enjoy a college football game.
However, our trip to Boulder was marred by the behavior of the University of Colorado student body. In my over thirty years of attending University of Georgia football games I have visited countless venues both within the Southeastern Conference and other conferences. Yet, in none of those locales have I heard such coarse profanity as I heard from the Colorado student body while in the stadium on Saturday evening.
Further, after the ballgame walking back to our vehicle we were subject to countless profane insults which decorum and civility prevent me from repeating. Such conduct is not acceptable in any setting in our society and certainly reflects poorly on your institution.
So there.
► READ UP ON RUSSELL: Some time ago, Russell Edwards, the Democratic candidate in the race for the 10th Congressional District seat serving Northeast Georgia, asked for some space on the editorial page to write about the race and his candidacy. As this is being written, plans are for Edwards' piece to appear in Sunday's Banner-Herald. Should those plans change, I'll let you know here in plenty of time.
In the interest of fairness, once Edwards' piece is published, his challenger, incumbent Republican Paul Broun, will be offered space on the editorial page as well.
► BOOKS FOR KEEPS: It was my great pleasure and privilege to have been asked to read a children's book at the Tuesday kickoff for this month's Books for Keeps book drive. Books for Keeps is an effort to get books into the homes of children who don't have books of their own. For more information, see the Web at booksforkeeps.blogspot.com. And, please, find the time to donate a book or two or three.
For my reading, I chose Dr. Seuss' "Oh, The Thinks You Can Think" (now donated to Books for Keeps). And not to get your hopes up or anything, but I did see a video camera in the room. So, keep checking the YouTube, and you just might find me telling you about "the thinks you can think." Just like I do here every day.

India fast tracks six hydro power projects in Kashmir, Ignoring Pakistan's warnings
India's six hydro projects in Kashmir
India has reportedly fast-tracked six hydro power projects in Jammu and Kashmir overlooking warnings from Islamabad that power stations on rivers flowing into Pakistan will disrupt water supplies.
Quoting three central and state officials, a report by the news agency Reuters claimed that the approval for these projects came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear last year that sharing the waterways could be conditional on Pakistan clamping down on anti-India militants operating from its soil.
The report pointed out that though the completion of these projects will take years, the Modi government's green signal could prove a flashpoint between the two arch-rivals, both of whom are nuclear powers.

The Reuters report quoted Pradeep Kumar Pujari, a top ranking official in the power ministry, as saying that these projects are not purely hydro projects and are actually aimed at resolving problems related to strategic water management and border management.
"I say the way you look at these projects, it is not purely a hydro project. Broaden it to a strategic water management, border management problem, and then you put in money," Pujari said.
Responding to India's clearance of these projects, Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman Nafees Zakaria told Reuters that it was a technical matter and that he would first confer with the Ministry of Water and Power on this matter.

Surveyor James Fairman outlines why changes to insurance rules might prove costly for businesses and residents in this area...
Recent flooding (not the Fens I might add) has raised concerns again about the risk of flood insurance being withdrawn from high risk zones.
Many areas of the Fens are considered, by the Environment Agency, to be high risk by virtue of their proximity to the sea and low lying level.
The fact that the Fens has an excellent track record in this respect seems to be of little concern.
An agreement between the Government and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has guaranteed flood risk insurance for all UK householders. Unfortunately this agreement is due to expire in June 2013, leading to a number of heated discussions between the Government and representatives of the ABI with regards to its continuation.
The problem is the insurance companies do not wish to insure properties which are considered to be at risk of flooding as this means that the odds of a payout are stacked against them.
The issue with regards to properties on low-lying areas which haven't flooded is that, if flood risk insurance is withdrawn, technically mortgage holders are in breach of their loan agreements as they have to have full cover. In addition, any future mortgage company require flood insurance to be in place as part of an agreement for a new loan. This does not only affect houses but also commercial property and, agricultural land.
The effect of the withdrawal of flood insurance therefore could have a devastating effect on the market for properties generally. The value of land and property in the affected areas which, on the east side of England would cover areas from the Lincolnshire Wolds down to the Bedford Levels could see values tumble, mortgage covenants broken left, right and centre, and send the whole economy into a new banking crisis caused by lack of security of existing securitised assets.
For this reason alone I doubt that we will come to this situation.
Not all companies are ABI linked, of course, and there is no reason why a suitable insurer could look at an area under risk, such as the Fens, and decide to offer flood insurance. This potential stream of new business could mean them cleaning up the market.
Of course, the flood defences could always be improved to a level similar to that experienced in, say, Holland.
No doubt the situation will be resolved; however, at this point in time it is difficult to see how this will happen.

Pediatric Emergency Department
Upstate University Hospital - Downtown Campus
2nd Fl., East Wing, 750 East Adams Street
Syracuse, NY 13210
Map & directions
Phone: 315 464-5565
Fax: 315 464-6521
Upstate University Hospital has a new pediatric emergency department.
Opened on Aug. 9, the $3 million expansion doubles the size of the current unit and relocates emergency care for children to the hospital's fourth floor, making it separate from the adult emergency department.
"This isn't just a little expansion," said Pediatric Emergency Department Director Richard Cantor, MD. "This is a brand new pediatric emergency department that quite frankly, and I know this from the other places, is the nicest one in New York state."
The new pediatric emergency department features 18 private exam rooms with a capacity to serve 24 patients. The pediatric emergency department sees about 27,000 visits annually. The renovated space also has its own pediatric-friendly diagnostic radiology unit, meaning children do not have to leave the unit for some diagnostic tests. The space has been designed and furnished with kids in mind, with plenty of gaming systems for all ages. It's decorated with whimsical designs and generous splashes of color, all aimed at lessening the anxiety for young patients. The renovation was supported in part by contributions from the community, which raised more than $1 million to aid the effort.
Time Warner Cable News 8/4:
WAER, 8/4: Upstate's new pediatric friendly ER opens; dedicated space helps younger patients feel more at home:
NewsChannel 9, 8/4: Upstate reveals new pediatric emergency department:
Our mission is to provide...
- Courteous, competent, and compassionate care to any ill or injured child.
- A caring, comfortable, and as painless an emergency department experience as possible.
- Education so that parents/guardians have an understanding of their child's illness or injury and an understanding of ways to prevent further illnesses or injuries in the future.
We speak a child's language yet relate to adults for assessment, teaching, and referrals. We provide the necessary knowledge to allow parents/caretakers to successfully impact their children's health outcomes. We ensure comfort, pain relief, and empathy for our children and families. Finally, we spend time ensuring that parents/caretakers understand exactly what is wrong with their child and what they must do to facilitate optimal outcomes.

Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia
You are interested in buying a new car and Bob let's you borrow one of the new cars on his lot for a week to test drive. You decide you like the car and when you visit Bob to drop off the car, he hands you the following document and a pen: May 1, 201x I promise to pay to the order of Bob's Auto Emporium $20,000 (Twenty thousand dollars) with interest at the rate of 7% per annum. What type of instrument is this? Does this instrument meet the requirements for negotiability under the UCC?
Asked on 2/06/12, 2:21 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Michael Hendrickson Law Office Michael E. Hendrickson
Sounds like a defective promissory note which fails
to specify what the promise to pay is for, and, therefore, probably
would fail any test as to its negotiability.

Capacity Vs. Delivery Delay in MANETs With Power Control and F-Cast Relay
A lot of works have been dedicated towards understanding the relationship between throughput capacity and packet delay in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs). However, nearly all these works either assume a localized transmission range, or report the relationship between throughput capacity and packet delay only in terms of the number of users. It remains largely unknown for such a fundamental relationship in terms of other network parameters, like the packet redundancy and node transmission range. As a first step towards this end, in this paper the authors derive closed-from expressions for throughput capacity and delivery delay under a general setting of node transmission range and also a generalized two-hop relay with limited packet redundancy.

Bihar assembly adjourned over attack on Dalits
Patna, Aug 4 (IANS) Amid uproarious scenes, the Bihar assembly was on Thursday adjourned when the opposition sought a debate on the police lathicharge on Dalit students here.
After the assembly assembled, BJP members demanded that their adjournment motion be accepted. They also wanted a judicial probe into the incident in which nearly a dozen people were injured.
The opposition members disrupted the proceedings and trooped towards the Speaker. The three CPI-ML members also denounced the police action. In the melee, CPI-ML's Mahboob Alam fell unconscious.
Speaker Vijay Chaudhary repeatedly requested the members to go back to their seats and raise the issue after the question hour. He then adjourned the house till 2 p.m.
But the opposition was adamant and demanded that the adjournment motion moved by opposition leader Prem Kumar be taken up immediately. The members raised slogans, holding placards in their hands.
On Wednesday, police used lathis to disperse Dalit students here when they protested against atrocities against the community, a cut in the number of post-matric scholarships for SC/ST students and abolition of reservation in promotion in government jobs.

Rusted Root makes stop at Penn's Peak on Friday
Rusted Root returns to Penn's Peak Friday night.
When Rusted Root had an opportunity to return to Penn's Peak, there was no hesitancy on agreeing.
"We love Penn's Peak," said lead singer Mike Glabicki. "It's one of the best venues in the country."
In fact, the band is working on producing a new DVD and Glabicki is hoping some filming can be done at Penn's Peak for it. "I'm not sure yet if we'll be filming for the DVD."
Rusted Root is at Penn's Peak at 8 p.m. Friday. Tickets at the door are $29.
It's one of three concerts this weekend at Penn's Peak.
On Saturday night, a Journey Tribute with Voyage feature Hugo formerly of Evolution. Special guest is Fleetwood Macked. The concert is 8 p.m. and tickets at the door are $25.
Blues Traveler with opening act the Scott Weis Band performs at 8 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $32 at the door.
Rusted Root is also working on a new album, which probably will be released in about five months. This is the first LP in nearly two years.
The band formed in Pittsburgh in the early 90s and since has sold more than three million albums.
In a phone interview, Glabicki said, said he enjoys the success of the band has had, but he still is giving priority to his health, especially because he is a parent.
"I'm working on keeping fit so I don't wear out on tour," he said. "We're a high energy band that gives it our all for every show."
He and his wife have a 14-year-old son who is a drummer as well as being the official band photographer. The son has performed at some concerts with Rusted Root.
At the Penn's Peak show, Glabicki said the audience will be given the music it is familiar with as well as some songs from the new album.
Rusted Root, after forming, was embraced for their genre of roots music and world rock.
Their debut album was 1992's Cruel Sun which they self released. This album helped them get signed with Mercury Records and their 1994 debut album with Mercury got Rusted Root noticed.
When I Woke became a platinum selling album and featured the hit songs "Send Me On My Way," "Ecstasy" and "Martyr."
They have played at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and toured with Hot Tuna, Santana, The Allman Brothers, Sting and the Dave Matthews Band. Rusted Root really enjoys appearing at smaller jam band/bluegrass events.
"We really enjoy the sort of more niche type festivals" says Glabicki, who added that their most memorable and highly coveted support role was on the Jimmy Page/Robert Plant Reunion Tour.
Another highlight of their career, Glabicki said, was when NASA engineers chose "Send Me On My Way" as wake up music for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity.
Glabicki said when he was growing up he idolized such stars as Led Zeppelin and Carlos Santana.
He said a dream came true when the band toured internationally the first time in 1997.
He urged fans to keep up to date with Rusted Root on the band's Facebook page.

Louis Van Amstel And Anna Trebunskaya On Dancing At The Mohegan Sun, Finding Out If They Return To Dancing With The Stars The Third Week In August, & More
Last week, Louis Van Amsel and Anna Trebunskaya performed at the Mohegan Sun Casino. They danced three times…a tango, a jive, and a cha cha which were all choreographed by Louis. The stage was only two feet wide and very high up, but, they managed to pull off a fantastic performance and the "audience was great" according to Louis at twitter. Reality Wanted caught up with the two before they danced. They asked them what they've been doing in the off season since their last appearance on Dancing With The Stars. They also ask them about their favorite dances, their upcoming schedule, and if they know if they are returning for Season 13. Below is how they replied. Note how Louis said they won't know if they are returning until the third week of August (the third week? uggh, I thought it would be the second week. This waiting is total agony. *cries* lol). More at the link.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you have a favorite style that you prefer?
A. Louis: We enjoy dancing together because we don't have a favorite. No, they're all nice.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You probably can't tell me but I have to ask. Will you both be returning for season 13 of Dancing With The Stars?
A. Louis: Of course we would love to but we don't know yet until the third week of August.
A. Anna: It's a big, huge secret! They're trying to keep everything private. We don't know the celebrities. We don't have any idea.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What are you up to now?
A. Anna: Just dancing, teaching, being a wife once in a while! Jonathan and I are going to perform next weekend at the Vale International Convention and we'll hopefully not die from the high altitude. We're looking forward to performing there. The day before us was the Chinese National Ballet so I'm sure they're going to have some amazing companies there.
A. Louis: La Blast, La Blast, La Blast! The website is already up for it. I'm going to Tucson to do the program there and then to New York and then I'm doing it for 500 fitness instructors during the IDEA Convention, which is the largest fitness convention in the country.
Edit to Add: New video from the Mohegan Sun;

SPDY and WordPress
This post is part of a series designed to help developers who are just starting out understand some basics and how they relate to WordPress. This fifth post is about SPDY (pronounced speedy) which we offer on our Business, Professional, Ultimate, VPS, and Enterprise plans.
What is SPDY?
SPDY was developed primarily by Google for transporting web content, and is an open networking protocol. The protocol deals with HTTP traffic to speed up web page load times and to improve overall security. To improve speed, it utilizes compression, multiplexing, and prioritization. The goal is that only one connection per client is required for webpage subresources. TLS encryption is commonly used with transmission headers being compressed, whereas in standard HTTP they are sent as human-readable text. Finally, it can act as more of a push than pull system. Meaning servers can push webpage content instead of waiting for individual resource requests. Since SSL/TLS is required, SPDY cannot be used over plain TCP.
Key Takeaways:
- It's important to understand that SPDY does not replace HTTP as many commonly think. It simply modifies the way HTTP requests and responses are sent back and forth.
- If you're using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer then you will have SPDY 3.1 support out of the box. Have no fear, if you run SPDY and someone is using a browser that doesn't support it, then they'll get served the content just fine using HTTP/S like they would have before.
