|Reviews for Squared Away
| sasha2002 chapter 6 . 12/1/2006
Wrapped up nicely with a pretty little bow. Can't wait till your next story. And who need flowery writing anyway? And you are very good at throwing in a pinch of angst, so no worries.
| Eiseman04 chapter 6 . 12/1/2006
As always, great job. I love your stories. They are direct, to the point and always have a twist. You could definitely being writing some of the one shot Supernatural episodes with sort of ammo. Can't tell you how much I hang on my email notices when you write stories.
Keep up the excellent work!
| stjra chapter 6 . 12/1/2006
Once again lovely bittersweet ending to a great fic! Thanks for letting us in on the ride! I can't wait for the next fic, I just can't get enough of your interpretation of the Winchesters humour and the angst that you sneak in there while we're checking over the boys to make sure they really have survived the lastest adventure! See you for the next ride! :D
| Phx chapter 6 . 12/1/2006
I loved this chapter. Loved the brotherly banter and especially LOVED that it was Dean who killed Peter and not Andre. Very nice touch -
Particularly since Andre did not care about Peter hurting Sam. Andre only cared about his own revenge.
And the botox convo? Hilarious!
Another wonderful story -!
| Phx chapter 5 . 12/1/2006
Awk! Sorry I couldn't review this before now but I am under the weather with a head cold. Nasty stuff.
Anways, again I say AWK! Sam almost choking - that boy has a definite choking fetish, lol - and then Dean getting possessed and shooting the baddie to save Sam.
Wow - lotsa action! Loved it! And you already know I love the Sam-in-peril angle :)
| Dolen Feredir chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
This was really good. I love the interaction between the brothers. I especially liked when Dean is contemplating what he just did and then switches to teasing Sam to avoid talking about it. Perfect!
Loved it!
| ILoveMyFish chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
Thanks for a great story _
| EagleGirl6 chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
Nice intensity in this chapter. Personally, I wouldn't be bothered if something possessing me killed someone, but Dean sure would:)
Oh, you're tricky! Good turn of events, Dean being the one pulling the trigger:
Dean wanted to feel like crap. He ought to feel like crap.
You're good with the deeper stuff just as much as the funnies, hope you exercise that some more:)
Looking forward to your next one,
| EagleGirl6 chapter 5 . 11/30/2006
Nice explanation of the musician as an athlete:)
Nutty as a monkey turd was the phrase coming to mind at the moment.
Dean wasn't home alone. Andre had come to find the rest of the violin section.
Nice scene in the cemetary, glad Peter got his what-for.
L was 8 chapters... Have you considered doing a longer story? I love to read your writing:)
| EagleGirl6 chapter 4 . 11/30/2006
This whole banter was awesome! (I gotta find some more descriptives...):
"Sam, why is it that I save 'em and they're always thanking you?" ... the prickly personality...
And we know and love Dean's socially-challenged outbursts:
"Sammy? Let me know when you two decide on a china pattern."
I don't know what lady he's talking about; this lady sure would!
The ladies never really looked at you the same after you shot something in front of them.
Wow, what's up with Peter? He seems awfully strong to be holding Sam. And Dean's got the real bullets out, lookout!
| EagleGirl6 chapter 3 . 11/30/2006
I just love how you write! Got me giggling with the first paragraph!
Dean didn't deal well with the bad guys at the best of times. He mostly taunted them and then shot them. Not necessarily in that order. He certainly didn't like having to make chit chat and chauffer them around.
Nice comment, though I love how Dean walks, anyway. He has different walks for different purposes, and you captured that:)
Dean had a slightly different gait when he had a gun at his back.
Nice description; I can picture Sam "emoting", hehe:
He knew better than to look at Dean while he was trying to emote.
This is so *Dean, nice:
"I have a no touching rule. Maybe I should have warned you about that earlier."
OMG, I can totally visualize this, I love this picture:
Walking a step in front of Sam, the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up, Dean was a picture of relaxed violence.
Oh, I forgot that Sam knew about Marigold, Tehehehe!
I kinda like the door-kicking thing too:)
I still have more chapters to catch up, yay!
| EagleGirl6 chapter 2 . 11/30/2006
Wow, I'm really behind in reading (and reviewing) this story. At least this means I have several chapter to read tonight:)
How funny Dean got his picture in the paper, who could blame the photographer:
Dean's mouth quirked up on one side. "Photographer must have been a woman."
Hahaha, Sam was a joiner in high school, so funny!
Dean snorted. "You were in one of your 'I'm pissed at Dad, so I'm going to do something time-consuming and non-violent just to annoy him' modes. You just picked band that year." ... "Sunshine Society," Sam said loudly, through clenched teeth.
You know, who could blame the gal for being awestruck with either of the boys:
Apparently nerd pheromones plus a hint of danger really worked well for her. Sam, Dean noticed, was shifting uneasily from foot to foot under the woman's awestruck scrutiny.
Go, Dean, good on Sam for surrounding the guy:)
Dean hated having a murderer in his car.
Great chapter, looking forward to the next,
| Savage Shade chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
Yes! Less with the Dean bashing this time, lol. Great story, apologies for not reviewing sooner. I love the idea of Sam groupies, and I still want to know what Dean named the car. Keep up the good work.
| Evergreene chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
I really enjoyed this, humour and angst all rolled up in one wonderful story. Looking forward to your next offering, whatever that may be!
| Toxicangel chapter 6 . 11/30/2006
awesome chapter... now its finished...
and a new wait begins...
have a great christmas !

The Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor issued a final rule amending its regulations at 29 CFR Part 825. Employees in legal same-sex marriages will now have the same rights to take leave to care for a spouse with a serious health condition under the FMLA as those afforded to employees in opposite-sex marriages, regardless of the state in which the employee resides.
Previously, if an employee resided in a state that did not recognize the employee's same-sex marriage, the FMLA definition of "spouse" did not include same-sex spouses. Under the new rule, the law of the location where the marriage took place affords eligibility for federal FMLA protections. All legally married couples, whether opposite-sex or same-sex, will have consistent federal family leave rights regardless of whether the state in which they currently reside recognizes such marriages. Called the "place of celebration rule," this is consistent with other federal agency interpretations of who is a spouse.
Because the DOL did not modify Sec. 825.122(k), employers may require employees who take leave to care for a family member to provide reasonable documentation of the family relationship. "Reasonable documentation" may constitute a statement (oral or written) from the employee verifying the marriage, or may require additional proof of marriage documentation. If an employee has already submitted proof of marriage for another purpose, such as dependent health benefits, such proof is sufficient to confirm the family relationship for purposes of FMLA leave.
The final rule will be effective 30 days after its publication in the Federal Register today, February 25.
This rule change should be especially noted for our South Dakota employers.
You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".
Searches are not case sensitive.

Will this wonderful herb grow in cool weather or does it prefer summer heat?
Thanks for any insight.
Will this wonderful herb grow in cool weather or does it prefer summer heat?
Dill is a perennial and therefore can last several years. However, it is only hardy down to about -4C, so it is sown from seed each year and planted as an annual
Dill is good for cool areas, but will grow well anywhere, also you can grow it in a container, seeds sown after the last frost will appear in a couple of weeks.
Thanks cristina, I'll sow some seeds this weekend. I have a book or two on growing herbs but due to a series of events, the bookshelf is buried behind stuff I can't move! ..... DH retired and life is not the same! ;~)
Be sure that you sow your dill where you want it because it will definitly resow itself and you will have much more than you planned on the next year.A voice of experience!
I was thinking of a container but maybe I'll scatter some around here and there in gardens. Can never have enough dill.....she said with great naivete.
MaryMcP Yes , dill reseeds itself, so do not allow it to go to seed or leave only one plant to seed and cut it before the seeds scatters around by itself.

I heard something about there being more lights on the castle and maybe into the hub but not sure how true that is. I assume the parade at MK will be the same however did hear once that there may be a few changes, not sure to what extent.

I have a confession to make.
As many of you know, I am reviewing homeschooling materials for The Old Schoolhouse. A few days ago there was a post on the TOS message boards asking for a little help selling their Schoolhouse Planners.
I was intrigued (I am, after all, a sucker for anything smacking of an organizational tool), but I brushed the thought aside. I was trying to sprint towards the end of our first homeschooling week, and I was r...u...n...n...i...n...g...o...u...t...o...f...s...t...e...a...m...................
I was tired. Just the thought of hitting the download button was just about more than I could take. And, as you know, I'm not exactly living the life of serenity and organization right now (remember, my dining room table is currently in my living room and my refrigerator is hanging out in my dining room). Of course, what this means is that I probably need the planner, right? Yes, well, I wasn't exactly thinking logically at the moment.
Then the weekend happened. We painted the kitchen. It was Sunday evening. I was basking in the glow of my vintage yellow kitchen walls and thinking that, perhaps, all was right with the world. I spent a little time curled up in my favorite chair perusing some of the blogs on the blogwalk. And then it happened. I read some of the posts about this planner from my fellow reviewers, and I thought, "OH NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE?????" I had let a wonderful opportunity slip through my fingers. The deadline had passed. I had missed my chance. Period. Then, yesterday morning Heidi sent out another message announcing that she had extended the deadline. This, my friends, is unheard of. This, my friends, was a providential message that I should email her that very second and ask if I could download the planner, bury myself in its pages, and then write an advertisement for the planner by Wednesday morning. She complied.
And here I am.
Last night, I printed the planner. I sat in front of my printer like a small child waiting for her gift from Santa. Last week, I was convinced that the label-maker would change my life. Now I know better. It's The 2010 Schoolhouse Planner that will change my life.
At first, I was intimidated by its bulk--all 614 pages of it. But once I read and skimmed and flipped through pages, I realized that it was 614 pages of pure organizational bliss.
I can organize my school days.............
I can organize my life....................
And you know what?
You can organize your school days (and your life!) too!
Should you decide to make the (very wise) leap into buying this planner for
you will gain access to monthly articles specifically tailored to homeschooling families, including such titles as "Top Five Tips for Managing Your Homeschool While Managing Your Home," "Brain Power: Food for Better Thought," and "The Heart and Soul of Creative Writing."
You will also find a plethora of educational information, curriculum forms, and planning sheets.
Do you need help setting goals for your homeschooling year?
This planner is for you.
Do you need help creating your homeschooling plans?
This planner is for you.
Do you need help creating a schedule for you and your children?
This planner is for you.
Do you need help keeping track of library books, home repair projects, menu plans, and the phone number of your favorite plumber?
This planner is for you.
And, because this planner is for you, you should head on over to the TOS store right this very second and choose either the downloadable ebook for $39.00 or the Schoolhouse Planner on CD for $44.00.

Thanks SP friends for the love...
Monday, April 01, 2013
Last week was the first emotional trial I've had this year and it was a big one. Having someone you love and think so much of to pass away isn't easy. And for us that go to food for comfort and to soothe those raw emotions, it's what we want to do the most. Eat until we can't feel those feelings anymore. So every time I wanted to reach for something I knew I shouldn't have, I'd think about how hard I've worked to lose the weight I have. I'd tell myself "I will control my emotions and not let my emotions control me". So when we went out to eat, I'd order healthy choices...when around all that food that was brought in after the funeral, I controlled the urge to eat foods that were unhealthy...you know the ones, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cake, pie, etc.
The love and encouragement I received from my Spark Friends was incredible! I can't tell you how much it meant to me to receive Spark Goodies and messages of encouragement. I live alone so when I'd come home to that empty house and felt I needed something...I'd go to Spark people and got what I needed, instead of going to food. Thank you for being there for me during this time and I hope I can be there for you as well when you need encouragement.
And the bottom line...I got on the scales this morning and I'm down almost a pound from last Monday. So glad I stuck to my program and didn't cave in~
Thanks again guys for the love and support you sent me~

Getting through an emotional issue without returning to old habits is a big victory for anyone. You have proven to yourself that you can handle situations and your emotions without turning to food. Excellent job to you!
I'm glad that at least you had Spark to receive some comfort from in your trying time. It is such a huge deal to feel like someone understands and is willing to put their hand on your shoulder, even if it is just a virtual hand.

It is important that you have read through our adoption process info before you apply
IMPORTANT: If you are not ready to have a new dog in your house within the next couple of weeks, please wait until you are to apply! The general turn around time from application submittal to adoption is one, sometimes two weeks.
Most dogs need a minimal transitional period of several weeks. Plan for the first couple weeks to be challenging. Adding a new dog to the family upsets the balance of your current "pack" no matter how good the match is. Your resident dogs will be stressed, your new dog will be stressed and you may be stressed as a result.
IMPORTANT: Please download and fill out the Foster Application Form completely, including every section and then email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. This form is a Microsoft Word file.
Renters of any residence, as well as Owners of shared roof residences (such as a duplex or condominium or townhouse), must acquire an addendum to our application.
If you rent or lease your home or apartment, or if you rent, lease or OWN any style of multi-family or shared-roof housing, this applies to you!
If you rent, seek this addendum from your Landlord. If you own, seek it from your Homeowner's governing body, (usually a HOA). We can NOT process your application without this information. Please send it simultaneously with your application, and see below for a link to the required elements. A copy of your current lease or HOA bylaws is not what we are interested in, so please save yourself time and do not send those!
WHY? Rental agreement renewals, and HOA bylaws for shared roof residences are particularly subject to change when there are complaints, or when personnel/management/ownership changes, etc.
ELEMENTS - The addendum letter on letterhead from your Landlord or HOA must contain certain verbiage in order to verify and protect your right to keep your GSD on the premises, even if the management, ownership, pet policies, or HOA bylaws CHANGE in the future. Please read the requirements here. This letter serves to create an enhanced right to your continued ownership of your dog, even if building ownership, management, pet policies, or HOA bylaws change.
Thank you! We look forward to receiving your application!

Policing the use of force by their own troopers, the Pennsylvania State Police routinely come out of shooting inquiries without fault.
Since 2008, Pennsylvania State Police troopers intentionally fired their guns in the line of duty at least 120 times.
Only one of those shootings was deemed "improper" by internal investigators, according to records obtained by PublicSource. That's less than 1 percent of the shootings.
The near-perfect record covers a period when at least 18 citizens were killed by troopers who felt a threat to themselves or others and fired their service weapons.
Yet the agency, which insists its investigations are free from bias, declined to provide PublicSource with details on that single maligned shooting from 2010, saying it was a personnel matter. Nor could the state police provide updated statistics on the number of citizens killed by troopers.
PublicSource filed three open-records requests over six months and still ended up with scant detail about the outcomes of use-of-force investigations. The internal reports provided the numbers on investigation results, but no details on the shootings themselves.
The lack of transparency from the Pennsylvania State Police comes at a time when shootings in local police departments have been under intense scrutiny because of the rolling tide of police shootings nationwide. Communities in Ferguson, Mo., Cleveland and Philadelphia have been outraged over the use of deadly force by officers and asked why shootings are nearly always justified.
The pristine record of the Pennsylvania State Police could well be a mark of strong training, rather than a record of poor judgment. But that is impossible to examine because there is so little information about the investigations.
"You want to know, is the [police] organization really that good or is this process flawed?" said David Harris, professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh.
Police owe the public the "greatest degree of transparency that they can muster," including the release of policies on how and when force can be used, he said.
Killing in Fayette
Shawn Knight was shot dead by troopers in Fayette County in 2013.
His death is either an example of troopers reasonably defending themselves, or a tale of an innocent man shot dead in his home moments after being roused from sleep.
A June lawsuit from Knight's widow, Kim, claims two troopers responded to a domestic disturbance call in North Union and, upon arrival, were told that the argument between Knight, 50, and his daughter ended and that they were no longer needed.
But, according to the lawsuit, the troopers pushed over Kim Knight, entered the home and exited after spotting two handguns on the table, which they'd been told were present.
Shawn Knight, according to the lawsuit, was startled awake and picked up the guns after the troopers left, but did not realize they were law enforcement or raise the weapons. After opening his front door, Knight was struck by three bullets, with others in close proximity to his wife and daughter, the suit said.
The state had a totally different story on behalf of the troopers.
By its telling, Knight was not sleeping when a trooper entered and pointed a handgun while yelling for the trooper to leave his house. He then brought at least one gun out on the porch, disobeyed an order to "get down" and raised the handgun at troopers.
The troopers opened fire because they "reasonably feared for their lives and the safety of others," said the state's response to the lawsuit.
Deadly force is authorized in exactly those circumstances. A threat doesn't even have to actually exist; for instance, force could be justified if a citizen reached for a wallet but an officer mistook it for a gun.
Investigations following shootings are automatic. A district attorney decides whether criminal charges are warranted, though the investigation of police actions is internal, as is any non-criminal investigation of policy violations.
Richard Long, executive director of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, said the group hasn't specifically examined state police shootings but said prosecutors have generally been satisfied with the agency's investigations.
To avoid bias, internal nvestigations are handled and monitored by troopers outside the chain of command of anyone involved in the shooting, said Maria Finn, a state police spokeswoman.
Other agencies may take part in the investigations, depending on the jurisdiction and whether other police departments are involved.
Joel Sansone, a Pittsburgh-based attorney for Knight's widow, said the internal process is inherently flawed.
"Asking an agency, any police agency to police itself is fraught with peril," Sansone said.
In 2013, the year Knight died, at least 26 line-of-duty shootings were tallied and none considered improper.
An "improper" ruling means the trooper's actions did not meet guidelines established by the agency or the law.
Sansone also cites the death of Michael Ellerbe, 12 years old when shot dead in Fayette County by a trooper on Christmas Eve in 2002.
Ellerbe was running away from a stolen vehicle, and the responding troopers said one of their own guns accidentally fired. Thinking Ellerbe was the one shooting, Trooper Samuel Nassan III shot and killed the unarmed boy, according to the troopers.
Sansone helped represent Ellerbe's family, who won $28 million in a civil trial in 2008.
Nassan has been the subject of several lawsuits and was also involved in a fatal shooting on Pittsburgh's South Side in 2009.
The state, which denied liability, settled for $650,000 with the family of Nicholas Haniotakis, who allegedly tried to run down officers with a vehicle before being shot dead by Nassan. He was cleared by prosecutors after both shootings.
While the state police has not yet provided PublicSource with statistics on justifiable homicides, The Wall Street Journal obtained them from the agency for a story on the holes in FBI data on deadly police shootings nationwide. According to that report, the state police tallied 15 justifiable homicides from 2008 through 2012, the latest year available.
In an effort to patch missing numbers in FBI data, The Washington Post has been tracking every fatal police shooting nationwide for 2015. So far, the Post reports two fatal shootings by Pennsylvania troopers, one involving a man reportedly firing a rifle in the air outside the Adams County Prison and another involving a fugitive from Arizona killed in a home in Reading.
Reports provided to PublicSource do not say when anyone was injured or killed in a shooting, including the single incident ruled "improper."
Training and scrutiny
The state police separately tallies accidental discharges.
Ten out of 23 accidental discharges were deemed improper from 2008 through 2013. Another seven adjudications said troopers were either negligent or in need of counseling or training.
Detailed data is not available for 2014 or 2015.
Mistakes can easily turn deadly.
Last month, a state police shooting instructor was sentenced to two weeks in jail following a tragic 2014 accidental shooting. Trooper Richard Schroeter, now retired, pulled the trigger of a loaded gun, inadvertently killing Trooper David Kedra in Montgomery County.
In some cases, an "improper" discharge is simply an indication that more training is needed, said John "Rick" Brown, who retired in 2010 as Pennsylvania's state police deputy commissioner of administration and professional responsibility.
Brown, whose company Transparency Matters advises departments on internal investigations, said he believes the state police does a good job both at shooting investigations and in training officers to make split-second, life-or-death decisions.
"I think we've got one of the better processes," Brown said, explaining that the state police is often the go-to agency to process evidence and to investigate shootings involving officers in local departments.
The state police separately considers shots fired at fleeing vehicles.
Brown finds that category troubling, citing how danger is compounded when moving vehicles are involved.
Many departments ban the practice in all but the most extreme cases. Bullets can fly and hit other vehicles. If a driver is hit, a vehicle could become uncontrollable and crash at high speed.
However, internal reports show 17 justified cases where troopers shot at moving vehicles. Three of these shootings (two in 2010 and one in 2012) were marked "improper."
The state police would not disclose its policy on firing at or from moving vehicles, Finn said.
For Mary Catherine Roper, deputy legal director for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, the question is not only whether officers use their firearms in violation of policy or law, but also whether police are examining whether force was necessary at all.
"Is there something we can offer this officer to make this kind of encounter less dangerous and less likely to use force in the future?" she said.
In other words, should training and internal reviews put more emphasis on reactions that aren't a trigger pull?
Finn said the state police uses investigations to look for training opportunities. But that doesn't mean the agency believes the trooper did anything wrong.
"If a trooper felt they or others were in fear of death or serious bodily injury, and the discharge of the weapon was within the law and policy, then it was necessary," Finn said in an email.
In a heated moment, the trooper "gets milliseconds to decide what to do, and people look at it for years afterward," said Jeffrey Shaw, former head of state police internal affairs for Western Pennsylvania.
Scrutiny in Philadelphia
A willingness to accept outside criticism is crucial, Roper said.
Recently, the U.S. Justice Department released a scathing report on use of force by the Philadelphia Police Department, saying that the department had "serious deficiencies" in its use-of-force policies and insufficient oversight of investigations.
To be clear, Philadelphia police and the state police are very different. Philadelphia reported more than four times as many justifiable homicides as the state police to the Wall Street Journal from 2008 until 2012, and has tallied 394 shootings in eight years, according to the DOJ report.
The Philadelphia Police review was requested by Charles Ramsey, its own commissioner, after a Philly.com article pointed out that shootings by police were up even though crime was down.
Ramsey at the time considered the use-of-force policy to fit best practices.
The DOJ published nearly 180 pages in March assessing flaws that led to Philadelphia officers shooting too often, many times at unarmed suspects.
Roper said all departments should be open to that type of review, which gives a rare look at how officers use deadly force, and when they fall short in efforts to avoid shootings and investigate them properly.
The state police provides timely information on officer-involved shootings, Finn said, though details depend on the facts of the case.
Attorney Sansone would like to see civilian oversight of officer shooting investigations. Troopers would no longer be policing themselves, which he thinks comes with an incentive to protect their own.
"These guys consider themselves to be the elite force in Pennsylvania," Sansone said. "Yet many, many times they violate the Constitution and the people they're sworn to protect."

About the data
Data on line-of-duty firearm discharges are reported annually in internal Pennsylvania State Police reports from 2008 through 2014. PublicSource obtained this information in a broader records request of internal discipline reports, which we reported on last week.
The reports do not give details on incidents except to say whether a weapons discharge was "justified," meaning the officer's decision to fire did not violate agency policy or the law, or "improper," meaning it violated agency policy or the law.
Several pending investigations are counted in the reports, and while the results of those investigations are not explicitly listed, the state police confirmed that only one discharge (in 2010) was deemed "improper" from 2008 until now.
Because some discharges could be categorized both as self-defense and protection of others, giving an exact total of line-of-duty shootings is not possible from the reports. Our reporting of at least 120 line-of-duty discharges is based on a conservative count of 108 self-defense discharges between 2008 and 2013 (which may already include some of the 12 discharges listed separately as being in protection of others), along with 10 additional firearm discharges from 2014, which are included in a graphic that combines both categories. We have also included two fatal incidents identified in news reports this year. The number, which does not include other data from 2015, could be closer to 130 discharges.
We separately examined incidents where troopers fired on moving vehicles, which involve distinct safety and policy issues, as well as accidental discharges from 2008 through 2013.
Justifiable homicides
We also reference justifiable homicide numbers which were reported to the Wall Street Journal by the state police. The Journal published the numbers in December as part of a story examining holes in the FBI's national database of police shootings. The state police was one of the 105 largest departments in the nation that provided statistics to check against the federal database.
The state police, however, could not provide identical figures since 2013 by our publication date. We do know that no line-of-duty shootings have been deemed "improper" over that period, according to state police spokeswoman Maria Finn.
The FBI data includes 14 justifiable homicides not included in the state police figures (though the FBI database is made up of numbers self-reported by departments). The discrepancy is attributed to incidents in the FBI data that involved agencies other than the State Police.
Both the FBI and state police data show one justifiable homicide for 2007, which is outside the time window for our analysis.

Pre-Budget boost for George Osborne as unemployment continues to fall
CHANCELLOR George Osborne has been handed a pre-Budget boost with new figures showing a record number of people are now in work, as unemployment continues to fall.
Just over 30 million people are now in jobs, up by 459,000 on a year ago, the highest figure since records began in 1971.
The jobless total fell by 63,000 in the quarter to January to 2.33 million, a rate of 7.2%. Most of the fall was among men.
The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance in February fell by 34,600 to 1.17 million, the 16th consecutive monthly reduction, while vacancies jumped by 23,000 to 588,000, the most since 2008.
The Office for National Statistics also reported a fall in the number of people working part-time because they could not find full-time work - down by 32,000 in the latest quarter to 1.4 million, although still 41,000 higher than a year ago.
Youth and long-term unemployment both fell, with those out of work for over a year down by 38,000 to 828,000, while 912,000 people aged between 16 and 24 were jobless, down by 29,000.
The number of people classed as economically inactive, including long-term sick, those looking after a relative or who have given up looking for work, fell by 19,000 to 8.9 million, including the lowest number of women on record (5.6 million).
Public sector employment has fallen by 159,000 to 5.5 million, the lowest since December 1999, although most of the reduction was explained by Royal Mail workers moving to the private sector because of the postal group's privatisation.
Local government employment fell by 25,000 to 2.3 million and by 6,000 in the civil service to 441,000. Private sector employment is now 662,000 higher than a year ago.
The unemployment rate, now 7.2%, is no longer linked to the Bank of England's pledge to keep interest rates at record lows after governor Mark Carney unveiled new forward guidance. The bank had pledged not to consider a rate rise until unemployment fell to 7%.
Following today's figures, Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "Another significant fall in unemployment is a sign our long-term economic plan is working, providing security & chances for hard-working people."
Another significant fall in unemployment is a sign our #LongTermEconomicPlan is working, providing security & chances #ForHardworkingpeople.— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) March 19, 2014
It's clear tens of thousands of young people are not feeling any recovery at all.
Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "Despite recent tough economic times, our workforce has shown itself to be resilient and flexible. A higher percentage of the adult population is now in work - that is higher even than in the USA.
"We were right to resist calls by some to make it easier to sack people and our strong employment performance in the down turn and subsequent recovery is testimony to this.
"These latest employment figures continue to show the UK labour market is improving rapidly - employment has grown by over 450,000 compared to a year ago, 95% of all jobs created last year were full time and unemployment is down to 7.2%, falling well below peak levels and the levels in most of Europe.
"The number of women in employment has continued to increase and is now at its highest level since comparable records began, and whilst there is still more work to do on youth unemployment, the trend shows this is now falling and is less than when this Government came into office."
Labour's Rachel Reeves, shadow work and pensions secretary, said: "While today's fall in overall unemployment is welcome, the figures show 912,000 young people are unemployed and long-term youth unemployment has doubled under David Cameron. It's clear tens of thousands of young people are not feeling any recovery at all.
"There has also been a worrying rise in the number of people unemployed for over two years.
"Today's figures also show that working people facing a cost-of-living crisis and that prices are still rising faster than wages under David Cameron."

What is Sajid Nadiadwala's latest reason to celebrate?
It seems 'Housefull' filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala has made his mark — not just on the Indian film industry, but on the powers that be in France too. Earlier this week, it was announced that Sajid will soon be conferred with the prestigious title of 'Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et Lettres' at a special ceremony in New Delhi. Only weeks ago, lauded food critic Rashmi Uday Singh received the same honour.
Established in 1957 to recognize eminent artists and writers (as well as people who have contributed significantly to furthering the arts in France and throughout the world), the Order of Arts and Letters is given out three times each year. Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Wes Anderson are other recipients, so — as you can imagine — this is no mean feat, and celebrations are certainly in order. Perhaps that is why Sajid's affable wife Warda was shopping up a storm at the recently-revamped Trésorie in Mumbai yesterday, while the city celebrated Gudi Padwa.
From faux flowers to classic crockery, Warda spent well over an hour selecting home décor items at the plush suburban store. If you ask us, Mrs. Nadiadwala looked like she was prepping for a party. Sajid's latest honour certainly merits one, wouldn't you say?

John Lewis Christmas ad 2016: Is this viral video inspiration for Buster the dog?
HEARTS will melt across the nation as Buster the dog bounces onto our telly this evening for this year's hotly anticipated John Lewis Christmas ad.
Packed full of animated foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs and badgers - there's lots to love.
But the eager boxer dog called Buster definitely steals the show.
However, since the advert "Buster the Dog" was released on YouTube this morning, some have been quick to point out that the canine bears striking similarity to an old school viral video.
Shots of Buster bouncing up and down in glee might have been inspired by a viral clip from 2007, where Chago "the trampoline dog" barks as he jumps up and down on his owner's trampoline, some have claimed.
The YouTube video was watched more than 3million times and spurred countless 'dogs who love trampolines' clips in the years to follow.
And it's sure to get several more hits today as people pick up on the similarities.
One wrote underneath: "Thanks John Lewis".
The John Lewis ad appears to be a roaring success, if this morning's reaction is anything to go by.
One wrote: "Absolutely magical, made me cry."
Dog Photographer of the Year 2016
Any naysayers were quickly shut down by Buster lovers.
One added: "If you didn't smile once while watching this, or appreciate the innocent comedy…you're not a good person."


text: First let me say this is my first post here. Glad I stumbled in to the forum. I have a 30SF and so does a friend of mine. We went shooting and he and I both noticed that mine fails to go the distance his does. We were both shooting fmj blazer brass and the rounds from my 30 were dropping much sooner than his. We swapped to see if maybe my grip was the issue but swapping showed it to be the gun itself. Any insight? Thanks in advance.

Level of Difficulty: just measuring
Pots/Pans Used: two
2 cups flour
2 TBL baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 TBL molasses
1 TBL vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
sugar & cinnamon
Very rarely do I get the urge to bake. Although I love desserts (specifically cheesecake), I tend to have more savory cravings. But for some reason, I couldn't help but make cookies last night. So here they are... Just a simple recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth. And yes, they are even Oliver approved.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray. Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together wet ingredients in separate bowl and then add the wet ingredients into the dry. After you've mixed it up well, you can add some more water if it seems dry (I added about 1/4 cup more, but I recommend adding it gradually to be safe). In a small bowl, combine extra sugar and cinnamon together. Form dough into small 1 inch balls and them roll them in the sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet and press down with fingers. Bake for 10-15 minutes, then up heat to 450 and them bake a couple minutes until the tops brown a bit. Take them out to cool and them serve with a cup of hot tea!

"Peep" is a boss in "The Binding of Isaac". He serves as a boss in The Caves, utilizing his own urine as an attack most of the time. Once his health is low, he detaches one of his eyeballs, which float around the arena until he himself is killed.
Physically, Peep resembles a humanoid with stubby arms and legs. He also generally tends to give a signal whenever he's about to attack. The signs are:
- Smiles and brings his hands to his face: a spray attack that sends 10 urine projectiles in a radial burst.
- Smilling and throwing his arms wide: jumps to the position where the player was last.
- Frown and makes a burping sound: makes some gooze come out that damages the player if it hits them.

You did state a few posts ago that your were not a sprinter.
Those boys had your number when came to trying to slip away. Good racing!
Uh yeah... at least you 'elped drive the break and already had one V for the day. Oh, and yes puhlease help populate NCNCA race reports with you witty reportage - and watch yer French!
Loved this photo and the one you linked to but you have such a big smile in the later photo that it doesn't seem like you could be racing! Plus I hope there is some suspense for people who see the picture and who don't know what happened and that will lead them to read your reportage.
alright! that's cool about the interviewing...can't wait to read
wait a minute...in the photo - you just sat up...did you just give up?
I think it was the lack of aero-dynamique booties...
Gotta buy them $400/wheel ceramic bearings! They'll give you that new swing of confidence!
you need to have your wife teach you how to sprint.......for the cookies!
Nome Agusta has a huge crush on Hernando. I think it is TRUE LOVE!

Pretoria - Two police officers who tried to arrest a Pretoria News photographer when he took pictures of them arresting a suspected thief have been dismissed, police said on Monday.
Lieutenant Colonell Lungelo Dlamini confirmed that the two Pretoria Central police officers - Constable Tshepo Marerathi and student Constable Thapelo Moganedi - were dismissed following an internal disciplinary hearing.
The dismissals relate to an incident in February when Pretoria News chief photographer Masi Losi rushed out of the building to take pictures of a mob which had caught a suspected thief.
Police arrived and arrested the suspect but then, according to a Pretoria News staffer who spoke to Sapa at the time, the two officers turned on Losi and tried to take his camera.
The Pretoria News reported on Monday that a disciplinary inquiry had found the two guilty of assault and robbery.
The newspaper quoted provincial trial unit disciplinary officer Captain Israel Mulovhedzi as saying the policemen had indicated that they would appeal their dismissal.
They have 10 days to appeal the decision, which was made known to them on Friday. They still face criminal charges and will appear in court on February 15.
The Independent Complaints Directorate was tasked with investigating the case against them.
An ICD spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.
Ai ai...silly guys...stupid guys...
Fired and then appeal will take years, All on full pay an benefits
So right George and SO SAD ....its the cANCer scumbag way. Take Take Take Take Gimme Gimme Gimme .. It wasnt me .. Appeal ...Appeal...Wanst me....
Thanks god the justice system still works
On rare occasions.
Poor policemen, Victims of poor training.
especially after being denied education by Apartheid.
Poloyatonki please grow up! 17 years into the new democracy we need to let go of this you did that we did this attitude and leave the YOU OWE US THIS attitude and start working together to build a propper nation we all can live in!
its 18 years later you cant go around blaminig everything on appartheid anymore start looking at yourself and say what can i do to help my fellow South African Black indian coloured white blue purple and make this country a place we all want to live in!
Hoy Poloyatonki. And you must have been one of the "peeple" denied education.
Poly we had better educated leaders during apartheid than now. No one is above the law, not the police and not even Mr Zuma.
Poor training and bad understanding of thing.
While the going is good fire the BLUELIGHT BRIGADE please.....
We need the evidence and findings to be made public.
Perhaps they are.
Let's see exactly what went wrong.
It is owed to the public.
Then we can make up our own minds. That is how trust is inculcated. In the longer term we will all be much better off.
Just a suggestion and without the benefit knowing how exactly the situation came to be what it is now and the facts in it.
Poloyatonki, you only deserve one answer... F..O!
This is eye-fluff by the SAP. They will reinstate them soon, without any public knowledge. That will not be dependant on the outcome of their appeal. They will probably be reinstated with bonus and higher salary as well.
Now that I come to think of it: the police always have a problem with cameras. It happens all the time and everytime that people with cameras are harressed by the police and bullied and intimidated and the pictures deleted or destroyed. It seems to be police policy or training instruction. And they say we are living in a democracy? Makes one seriously wonders....

" Early intervention for Alzheimer's sufferers"
About: North East London NHS Foundation Trust North East London NHS Foundation Trust Rainham RM13 8GQ North East London NHS Foundation Trust / Older people's mental health North East London NHS Foundation Trust Older people's mental health IG3 8XJ
Posted by Mansfdjs (as ),
I took my father to Groveland Day Hospital in January 2010. He is 90 years of age and suffering from very poor short term memory, and was referred to the memory clinic at the hospital by his GP following concerns raised by the family about his deteriorating mental faculties.
First impressions of the hospital were that it was clean bright and spacious with a pleasant waiting area in the large open entrance hall/reception area. Even my father commented how nice it was by comparison to other NHS facilities he had visited.
We were very quickly introduced to the Memory Clinic Nurse who apologised that the results from his ECG taken at King George Hospital 10 days earlier had not yet been sent to the Grovelands (even though KG hospital is very close by). The nurse quickly gave my father an ECG test but had some difficulties configuring the test equipment because, perhaps surprisingly to me, she told us she had not previously carried out an ECG for someone fitted with a Pace maker.
Immediately after the test we were asked to go to the consultant's room and met with the consultant who was accompanied by a student doctor. My father had previously had a memory test performed at his GP surgery by experts from the North East London Trust, as a consequence, and by reference to the latest ECG and blood test results, the Consultant was able to give her diagnosis directly.
She explained very carefully to my father that he was suffering from Senile Dementia, which is common in people of his age, and that the technical name for the condition was Alzheimer's disease. She commented to me that his problems were not as a direct result of deterioration in his cardiovascular system affecting blood supply to the brain as the ECG and blood tests were good for someone of his age, but the disease was due to toxic build up of a particular protein in the brain. His memory decline was not reversible but the rate of further deterioration, which is inevitable, can be reduced in some patients by treatment with a drug called Aricept.
The Consultant gave me and my father a booklet about Aricept which we agreed to read carefully before considering getting a prescription for the drug. My father's biggest concern was about any potential side effects of the drug reducing his ability to drive a car. He has led a very independent life style for many years since my mother died in 1983, and living alone he relies totally on his car to carry out all the essentials of modern life as he is unable to walk distances. The Consultant was very sympathetic and told him that his driving skills are not directly affected as they are based on long term memory, and she would support his continuing to drive whilst under treatment with Aricept, subject to regular evaluation.
For me, perhaps the most useful outcome of the discussion with the Consultant was her proposal for us to meet with the local representative from Age Concern dealing with early intervention for Alzheimer's sufferers, who was fortunately visiting the hospital at the time. She recognises that as my father's condition deteriorates he will need more support on a day-by-day basis, and given that I live over 60 miles away, local support will become very important indeed. We went directly from the consultant's room to meet with the Age Concern Nurse/Carer and had a very useful talk. My father is reluctant to accept help from anyone he does not know well or recognise so building up this trust is vitally important. We agreed that in the near future I should arrange for the Age Concern nurse to visit my father at his home, but when I am also there.
In summary, I expect the my father's situation is not uncommon amongst those at his age, and that with increasing life expectancy there will be many more who suffer similar circumstances. So it is encouraging that the North East London NHS Trust is able to work with outside agencies like Age Concern to help deal sympathetically with families in these difficult circumstances. I hope that my father is able to live at home for as long as possible with the support of the Trust and other services as I've experienced disturbing conditions and poor treatment in the care home my mother-in-law was staying in before she died.

What a great man. He would have been another Reagan, had he run.
What a great great great man. And I'll never forgive Clooney or that fat tub of pig excretement Michael Moore for tormenting him in his final days. And speaking of Clooney, I heard he's holding a $40k a plate fundraiser for the foreign Marxist. Hey George Looney, if the Kenyan is re-elected make sure you hold another fundraiser for all the people who are going to be unemployed you POS.
During the Clinton years when Heston commanded the NRA it was not uncommon to see bumper stickers which said "Charleston Heston" is MY president.
If you get a chance do a search on his gun collection...truly amazing. He had one of the most
extensive BAR collections I've seen in one place...
thanks for the great link on a remarkable man!
Somewhere in the busy pipeline of public funding is sure to be a demand from a disabled lesbian on welfare that the Metropolitan Opera stage her rap version of Carmen as translated into Ebonics.
Too true.
I WISH he was my president. Would have made a good one.
That man had more class than any 100 jerkoffs in Hollywood today combined.
And Clooney can kiss my ass{I never claimed to have class}

Minnesota officials this week are expected to back a $5.9 million state loan to Delta Air Lines to expand a reservation sales center on the Iron Range.
The deal would add more than 100 jobs at the facility in Chisholm, one of 10 reservation centers Delta operates across the country. The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board will vote on the loan at its meeting Thursday.
Delta employs 418 people at the center who earn between $22,000 and $48,000 per year. The expansion is "great news for the region and for the state that Delta is continuing their commitment to Minnesota," IRRB Commissioner Tony Sertich said.
The center first opened in 1995 as part of Northwest Airlines after the state provided the company a $9.7 million forgivable loan. The airline paid the remaining $1 million after $8.7 million was forgiven. Delta took over the center after buying Northwest.
The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board reinvests a portion of the state's production tax on taconite iron ore in economic development projects in northeast Minnesota.
