Resident saves Ohio officer from assault
Officer Tim Marks' attacker used his baton against him
Canton Repository
CANTON, Ohio — With his right arm pinned to the ground, Police Officer Tim Marks tried desperately to avoid the blows coming from an attacker wielding the officer's own metal baton.
The man, though bloody and bruised himself, showed no signs of fatigue, no signs of slowing down.
He kept swinging, blow after blow connecting with the officer's body as blood flowed from Marks' nose and mouth and his thoughts began to fade. Marks remembers feeling sleepy and his brain screaming, "I need help now! I need help now!"
His gun was out of reach, but Marks had the presence of mind to pull his assailant as close as possible to make the blows less intense, something he learned in self-defense training.
He figured he might wake up in the intensive care unit in a month.
"I'm praying for help," Marks said of the moment. "I've got fear, anger, adrenaline. I'm seeing a hospital, a grave stone. This is how it ends for me."
As he felt himself begin to fade, he said, "out of nowhere, someone tackles this dude. Out of nowhere!"
Crazy man
It started as a typical Saturday afternoon, although for Dec. 3 it was unusually warm and sunny — about 55 degrees.
A woman was sitting at a four-way stop near Heritage Christian School with her 3-year-old daughter in the back seat when a man approached her on the driver's side. He kicked her car and yelled obscenities through her window.
She quickly rolled up her window. She drove east on Sixth Street SW and called 911 from her cellphone.
Marks had just finished roll call with fellow officers Brandon Shackle, Kevin Sedares and Zach Taylor. He began his patrol shift, solo, and headed west from downtown on Sixth Street SW. As he approached Park Avenue SW, he saw the woman, who frantically waved him down.
She was telling her story about the man who had kicked her car when he rounded a corner and began walking toward the two cars.
"He was strutting. His chest was out," said Marks, who had seen this walk before. He said some men project an attitude when walking past a cop, as if to say "you don't scare me."
Marks pulled his car toward the curb at an angle, hit his overhead lights and rolled down his passenger-side window. He called the man over.
"Hey, what's up? What's going on?"
The man, in his early 50s, told the officer he wasn't doing anything. He denied kicking the woman's car and shouted an expletive when asked for his name and identification. Then he walked away.
She had pulled her car in front of the cruiser and was watching out her back window.
Marks gave his location to dispatchers.
Trouble call
Officer Shackle had just gotten into his car around 2:45 p.m. when he heard Marks over the radio tell dispatchers that he was getting out of his cruiser for a "trouble call."
Shackle, with nearly four years on the force, said a trouble call can turn bad quickly. When other officers hear those words, they are prepared to provide back-up. He headed toward the scene.
Officer Sedares was in the basement of the police department preparing equipment when he heard Marks report his location. A few seconds later, he said, his partner, Taylor, pulled up in a cruiser and said, "Get in. Timmy's on a trouble call."
They, too, headed west.
The approach
Marks walked around the back of his cruiser and approached the man.
"I said, 'Hey, man, if I have to run after you, we're going to have trouble.' "
The officer, though cautious, did not fear the older man, and he believed he could keep him calm while talking him into compliance.
Marks is a solid 5-feet-9, 190 pounds. At 38, he has a big personality and an easy smile, and he talks with his hands in an animated way.
He faced the man, who at 5-feet-10, 175 pounds, did not appear imposing.
"I use verbal Judo. I love talking to people," Marks said later. "I can usually talk to anyone before going to violence."
Marks said he took the man by the elbow to lead him to his cruiser. The man turned away, again.
"This time he wasn't walking away, he was winding up," Marks said.
A stunning, hard blow collided with Marks' jaw. The punch sent the officer staggering backward.
Marks pulled out his Taser and fired it.
"He looked down at the probes in his chest and said, 'It's on, (expletive)!' I knew I was in trouble, oh my God, I'm in trouble."
The officer threw his Taser to the ground as the man landed a second blow to his nose, breaking it and creating the puddles of blood that would be evident even later that day.
Marks yelled into his shoulder radio for help. He then pulled out his metal baton and extended it. He remembers swinging and connecting solidly with the man's head and face.
It did not faze him.
"I hit him 12 to 15 times, and he is not going down. I thought, 'I'm going to have to shoot this guy. I'm going to have to kill him.' "
Bad feeling
As Sedares and Taylor drove toward Park and Sixth, the dispatcher reported trying to get a status on Marks. Many calls to 911 were coming in at the same time reporting a fight.
"You get this gut-wrenching feeling when you get calls like this. I'm praying that he just didn't hear his radio," Sedares said.
Soon, a 911 caller reported that the fight did, indeed, involve an officer. Sedares said he looked at his partner and uttered an expletive.
As Shackle responded to Park Avenue, he heard through an open microphone the sounds of a struggle.
He heard Marks yell, "I need help!"
"He sounded distressed. You could hear it in his voice," Shackle said. "I turned on the lights and siren and stepped it up."
Dazed, disoriented
Marks could see and feel blood pouring from his nose. He was physically tired from swinging his baton at this man who seemed to feel no pain or fatigue. Deadly force seemed his only option.
Before he could reach for his gun, Marks said, the man landed one more solid punch to his mouth. It left him dazed and disoriented.
He reflexively brought a hand up to his face and, in that moment, the man picked him up and body slammed him to the ground. The man then pinned Marks' right arm to the ground and began beating the officer with his own baton.
Marks can still recall men standing on a corner watching. He remembers some leaning against a building, smoking cigars.
Then — out of nowhere, or so it seemed — came help.
The neighbor
Tom Bowman, a salesman for Zoresco Equipment Co. in Brooklyn, Ohio, is a married father of two teenage daughters. He has lived on Park Avenue SW for about eight years and in the city for about 15.
His kids go to McKinley High School. His wife is a lunchroom assistant and volunteer in Canton City Schools. She works also as a site coordinator for an after-school program at Dueber Elementary.
His "quiet part of the neighborhood," he said, is mostly senior citizens in their 80s and 90s. There are two schools and a church nearby. He's always felt safe, even though he is cautious, often lecturing his daughters to be cautious as well.
He had never seen or heard of anything like the scene he witnessed Dec. 3.
"I was doing yard clean-up for an hour," said Bowman, who was using a gas leaf blower in the yard of a vacant home next to his. When he turned off the blower, he heard loud voices from about a block away.
When he looked, he saw the two men face-to-face, arguing, beside the park at Heritage Christian School. At first, he didn't realize one was an officer.
When he saw the stun gun, he knew.
When he saw the first punch, he ran toward them. It may have taken him 20 to 30 seconds to get there.
To Marks, those seconds felt like minutes.
Bowman came up behind the assailant. He wrapped his arms around the man, took him to the ground and got on top of him so Marks could get away.
A 6-foot-2, 280-pound trained Marine, Bowman is an imposing figure. Still, he said, "It took everything I had to get him off (Marks)."
Marks was on his hands and knees crawling to Bowman as he tried to hold down the man. Marks wrestled away the baton and hit the man with it twice. The blows, again, didn't faze or calm man.
Marks and Bowman struggled to handcuff the man. Bowman sat on him while Marks lay bleeding on an embankment.
The rest was a blur for both men, as police cars swarmed the street.
Officers arrive
Shackle was the first officer on scene. He saw Marks kneeling on the ground beside Bowman, who was sitting on top of a man.
The man was still kicking and fighting. Shackle picked up the man, he said, and got him properly handcuffed. The man continued to fight.
"For lack of a better word, he seemed crazy," Shackle recalled. "He didn't speak, just kept on fighting. I don't think I heard him speak one time."
Sedares and Taylor were next to arrive. Taylor went to help Shackle, while Sedares went to Marks, who by then was on his back on an embankment, bleeding and dazed.
"There's like a feeling of rage," Sedares said. "You think, 'How dare him? We're out here protecting people, and we give a (expletive) about people when no one else does.' But, we have to remain professional."
A 20-year police officer, 14 of those in Canton, Sedares immediately recognized the man who allegedly assaulted Marks.
A bad dude
Tab O. Hannon has a history of assault and domestic violence.
Sedares met him in 2003 when he was called to Church's Chicken on Cherry Avenue. His partner went inside the restaurant while he dealt with Hannon, who was in the parking lot.
Sedares put Hannon against his cruiser and was patting him down when Hannon bucked back, turned and tried to punch him. Sedares knocked him to the ground, while Hannon kicked at him. As they struggled, a police dog arrived with his handler.
Hannon then jumped up and ran toward the handler, Sedares said, and the dog reacted, biting Hannon in the stomach. The handler punched the man twice in the face and he went down.
Bam continued to hold Hannon by his arm as he resisted arrest and the officer tried to handcuff him. He appeared to feel nothing, said Sedares.
"He was wearing a Members Only jacket and it looked like it went through a wood-chipper by the time we put him in the car," he recalled. "He never lost the toothpick out of his mouth."
He was charged with assaulting a police dog that night.
Hannon, now 52, is being held in the Stark County Jail on felony charges of assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and aggravated robbery for taking the baton from Marks.
Anonymous no more
A bruised and sore Tim Marks opened his newspaper Dec. 5 and read a story about himself, an unnamed Canton police officer who had been brutally attacked.
The brief Repository story, taken mostly from a police report, said a bystander "probably saved the officer's life."
That was not good enough for Marks.
"There's no probably. He did. This guy saved my life, and I want people to know it," he said. "There are still people out there who will put themselves in harm's way to help someone."
Bowman says he was simply in the right place at the right time.
"I did what I could do to help him out," he said.
He said his wife and daughters heard nothing that day. After the scene was cleared, the family walked to the corner, and he showed them what had happened. Hannon's hat still lay in the street.
Some neighbors, he said, complained about how the police had treated Hannon. Bowman just told them, "You didn't see what he did."
Savannah, 15, Bowman's younger daughter, said it's like her father to help others.
And it wasn't the first time he had come to someone's rescue. As a Marine in 1987, he received letters of commendation and a medal for stepping in and breaking up a fight in Thailand where an American man was being attacked.
The meeting
Last Wednesday, Officer Tim Marks and civilian Tom Bowman met each other for the first time since being in the back of an ambulance four days earlier.
Marks bolted up the steps in front of Bowman's house, wrapped him in a tight embrace and thanked him.
"I was terrified, man," he said as both men teared up.
"I know, I know," said Bowman.
The two men stood in Bowman's front yard in southwest Canton looking down the road to the spot where the officer had feared for his life.
"I thought, 'This guy's going to kill me with my own baton right here in the middle of the street on a sunny afternoon,' " he told Bowman.
The officer's slight limp and swollen jaw don't fully illustrate the seriousness of his injuries, which were not life-threatening, but certainly life-altering.
Street patrol
A four-year veteran with the department, Marks, is a 1992 graduate of Central Catholic High School. He has served in the Army, has been a Stark County park ranger, worked on two smaller police forces and was a bar manager. This was the first time anyone had tried to kill him.
He wants people to know what he and other officers face daily.
"I'm letting the public know what's going on in the street," he said.
Marks will be off duty for at least another week while he recovers from his injuries, including a possible broken jaw, broken nose, a torn rotator cuff and a sore and bruised body.
He has been inundated with calls from other officers and many have asked for Bowman's phone number and address in order to thank him personally.
Police Chief Dean McKimm said he can't thank Bowman enough.
"I don't think he realizes what character and courage he displayed when he did what he did. It's great to know there are guys like him out there and they have our backs," McKimm said.
Marks takes comfort in knowing he did his job by the book. He followed proper procedure for when an officer is getting punched. Deadly force is a last resort.
"This will not deter me. I love my job," said the single officer. "It's a learning experience. I can admit that. This will be with me for the rest of my life."
As for Bowman, he has a blood-stained Ohio State sweatshirt and a great story to tell.
He has some fear of retribution in being singled out for what he did, but Marks assured him he need not worry.
He said if Bowman's address is ever heard on the Canton police radios, he can expect an impressive and immediate response.
Bowman chuckled and said, "I figure this is good for one get-out-of-jail-free card."

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are almost at a standstill as markets await any hint of changes in Fed thinking within the minutes from its July economic policy meeting later this week.
However, the rout for retailers continued Monday, as Saks put up some disappointing results for its most recent quarter.
Company shares slipped in premarket trading.
Dow Jones industrial futures are down 7 points to 15,031. S&P futures have lost 1.3 points to 1,649.80. Nasdaq futures are up 2 points to 3,071.75.
Minutes from the late July meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee are due Wednesday, and everyone wants to know more about the central bank's intentions regarding its economic stimulus program.
They will also be watching the annual conference of the U.S. Federal Reserve, which begins later in the week at Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Saks released its financial report a day early and like Wal-Mart, Macy's and Nordstrom last week, disappointed Wall Street.
Saks' loss of $19.6 million was even deeper than analysts had expected.
There has been almost no good news coming out of the retail sector during the crucial back-to-school shopping season. Wal-Mart, Macy's and Nordstrom last week cut their outlooks for the year.
Saks is not holding a conference call because it's being acquired by Hudson's Bay, and it gave no outlook.
J.C. Penney, Target, Gap, Home Depot, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Staples and Sears all report quarterly results this week.
Retail shares were mostly lower before the opening bell.

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - An Ohio Amish sect leader was sentenced on Friday to 15 years in federal prison for his role in leading hair- and beard-cutting attacks on members of other Amish communities in 2011.
Prosecutors had recommended a life sentence for Samuel Mullet Sr., 67, who was convicted of a hate crime in September for orchestrating attacks carried out on six Amish men and two women, though he was not present for any of them. Prosecutors said the attacks were motivated by religious disputes between Mullet and other Amish leaders.
Fifteen of Mullet's followers in the breakaway Amish sect, from Bergholz, Ohio, who were also convicted of multiple counts of conspiracy and kidnapping, received lesser prison sentences on Friday, ranging from one year to seven years.
The sentences will be staggered to allow the group, which includes many family members, to take care of children.
U.S. District Judge Dan Polster compared the defendants' actions to those of the Spanish Inquisition, saying they "trampled on the Constitution," though they more than most benefit from the freedom of religion.
"Anyone who said this trial was only about hair and beard cutting wasn't paying attention," Polster said.
The judge told Mullet he was a danger to the community because of the control he has over others. "I don't believe you expressed any remorse for the pain you inflicted," Polster said.
The Amish are known for their plain dress and shunning of technology. Amish women and married Amish men do not cut their hair or beards, because they consider them symbols of living a religious life.
Victims of the attack testified they were restrained and had their hair forcibly cut using scissors, clippers, shears and battery-operated razors. The followers then brought the beard and head hair back to show Mullet.
"But for Sam Mullet, none of the crimes would have taken place," Assistant U.S. Attorney Bridget Brennan said in support of the prosecution's sentencing proposals, adding that Mullet had groomed his followers to avenge wrongs against him. "The crimes only stopped when Sam Mullet was arrested."
Mullet's attorney, Edward Bryan, said before the sentence was imposed on the sect leader that the trial was the result of a "misunderstanding of cultures."
Defense attorneys argued that the attacks stemmed from personal, not religious, disputes. They also submitted letters from family and business acquaintances that spoke of hardships the community has endured without the men during the winter.
Prosecutors submitted 14 handwritten letters from members of the Amish community expressing fear for Bergholz community children and supporting a lengthy or life sentence for Mullet.
Nine of the accused men are currently in prison, while one man and all six women accused have remained free.
Eli Miller, 33; Lester Miller; Johnny Mullet, 39; and Levi Miller, 54, received sentences of seven years each. Daniel Mullet; Lester Mullet, 38; and Emanuel Shrock received sentences of five years each. Raymond Miller and Linda Shrock were sentenced to two years each, while the remaining defendants, Freeman Burkholder, Anna Miller, 33; Lovina Miller; Kathryn Miller, 24; Emma Miller, 38; and Elizabeth Miller each received a year and a day in prison.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have formally arrested a wealthy Chinese businessman who was a key supporter of a civil society group that has been the target of a wide-ranging crackdown this year, his lawyer said Monday.
Beijing prosecutors approved the arrest of venture capitalist Wang Gongquan on Sunday, according to Chen Youxi, Wang's lawyer, who said prosecutors notified him by phone of the decision on Monday.
Wang was detained in mid-September on suspicion of "gathering crowds to disturb public order" but had not been formally arrested until Sunday. The vaguely defined charge has been used to prosecute many members of a loosely organized movement that has been pushing for greater public participation in Chinese political issues.
The notification of Wang's formal arrest underscores the seriousness with which Chinese authorities are treating his case. When prosecutors approve an arrest, it usually indicates that police have gathered enough evidence — or are in the process of doing so — to proceed with an indictment and perhaps trial.
Chen declined to comment further, but Chen Min, a veteran journalist and close family friend of Wang's, said the businessman's family had not yet received notice of the arrest.
Wang has been a supporter of the New Citizens Movement, a loose network of activists that has come under official scrutiny this year, with an estimated 30 members rounded up since March.
"Gongquan has mainly been trying to promote efforts to turn this country toward democracy and constitutionalism from the perspective of a citizen," said Chen, who is better known in China by his pen name Xiao Shu. "If these types of actions are deemed intolerable by this country then they are warning all Chinese that this government does not allow its people to be citizens."
The group's members have done little more than lobby for rights of rural children and public disclosure of officials' assets, although they have urged people to hold peaceful street demonstrations and dinner meetings to discuss such issues. Beijing is wary of anything it sees as having the potential to develop into a force that can challenge Communist Party rule.
Beijing prosecutors did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The arrest comes as the U.N. Human Rights Council prepares to review China's human rights situation on Tuesday in Geneva. China was last reviewed in 2009 by the 47-nation council, the U.N.'s top human rights body, which examines each nation's rights record every four years. This year rights groups have criticized Chinese authorities for tightened controls in Tibet and Xinjiang as well as the ongoing crackdown on civil society.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a regular briefing Monday that China would listen to "constructive criticism" raised during the U.N.'s review, but reject opinions that are biased. "Toward the ill-intended and biased criticism, we can only respond that we will maintain our own path, and we will abide by our own judgment," Hua said.

Salem house, garage damaged in Tuesday night fireBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader correspondent
September 18. 2013 9:56AM
SALEM – Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire that heavily damaged a house and garage at 21 Senter St. Tuesday evening.
Eight residents of the ranch-style home were displaced, but there were no injuries to either residents or firefighters as a result of the fire, according to Salem fire Captain Stephane Cattin.
The call came in shortly before 8:30 p.m. and when the first firefighters arrived, the garage was fully involved and had spread to the attic of the house. Cattin said it looks like the fire began in the garage.
A second alarm was soon called because of the difficulty of fighting the fire in the attic, Cattin said. Crews from Windham, Methuen, and Derry helped the Salem department on the scene, while the Pelham and Hampstead fire departments provided coverage at the Salem stations.
The fire was under control shortly after 9:30, Cattin said.
There was significant damage to the garage and the house, but a dollar amount for the damage had yet to be determined, according to Cattin.
The fire inspector was still on the scene this morning.?

WikipediaRead full entry
The tamarins are squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Callitrichidae in the genus Saguinus. They are closely related to the lion tamarins in the genus Leontopithecus.
Tamarins range from southern Central America through central South America, where they are found in northwestern Colombia, the Amazon Basin, and the Guianas.
Different tamarin species vary considerably in appearance, ranging from nearly all black through mixtures of black, brown and white. Mustache-like facial hairs are typical for many species. Their body size ranges from 13 to 30 cm (plus a 25 to 44 cm long tail) and they weigh from 220 to 900 grams. Tamarins differ from marmosets primarily in having lower canine teeth that are clearly longer than the incisors. In captivity, tamarins can live for up to 18 years.
Behavior and reproduction[edit]
Tamarins are inhabitants of tropical rainforests and open forest areas. They are diurnal and arboreal, and run and jump quickly through the trees. Tamarins live together in groups of up to 40 members consisting of one or more families. More frequently, though, groups are composed of just three to nine members.
Tamarins are omnivores, eating fruits and other plant parts as well as spiders, insects, small vertebrates and bird eggs.
Gestation is typically 140 days, and births are normally twins. The adult males, subadults, and juveniles in the group assist with caring for the young, bringing them to their mother to nurse. After approximately one month the young begin to eat solid food, although they aren't fully weaned for another two to three months. They reach full maturity in their second year. Tamarins are almost exclusively polyandrous.

Our Highlights from Cosmoscow 2014
Antoine Arnault and Natalia Vodianova
Domestic life and family responsibilities provide the fuel for Marko Mäetamm's darkly humorous paintings, videos, and installations. He regards the family as a microcosm of larger societal structures and presents domesticity as both a comfort and a trap. Mäetamm's works are based on his experiences as a husband and father of two children, as well as his struggle to balance his ambitions as an artist with the need to provide for his family. Taking cues from comic books and cartoons, he structures his paintings and videos as comic strips, evoking a tone that is both confessional and absurd. Mäetamm expresses boredom, rage, depression, guilt, and love in works featuring bleeding mansions, murderous fathers, sexual dissatisfaction, and neglected children—subjects somewhat softened by the cartoonish renderings and humor. The artist represented Estonia at the 50th and 52nd Venice Biennales.
Estonian, b. 1965, Viljandi, Estonia

Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) shot down talk on Tuesday that the struggling chip maker is exploring a potential sale of the company.
Continue Reading Below
In an emailed statement, an AMD spokesman said the company is "not actively pursuing a sale of the company or significant assets at this time."
The denial drove AMD's shares down almost 4% in after-hours trading.
Earlier Reuters reported AMD tapped J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) to explore strategic options, including a potential outright sale of the company or its basket of patents. The report said an outright sale is not a priority.
That news drove AMD up as much as 18% to an intraday high of $2.35 before closing at $2.09, up 5.03% on the day. Yet in recent extended trading AMD slid 2.87% to $2.03.
"AMD's board and management believe that the strategy the company is currently pursuing to drive long-term growth by leveraging AMD's highly-differentiated technology assets is the right approach to enhance shareholder value," the AMD spokesman said.
Based in Sunnyvale, Calif., AMD employs nearly 12,000 people and generated 2011 revenue of just more than $6.5 billion.
AMD's stock has plunged about 60% so far this year amid pressure caused by an industry shift away from PCs in favor of smart phones and tablets.
It's not clear who would be interested in acquiring AMD, but the company had a market capitalization of $1.42 billion as of Monday's close.
By comparison, industry leader Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has a market value of $103 billion. The blue-chip company's shares dropped to 52-week lows on Tuesday and closed down 2.48% to $20.25.

Repairs put Gilford's aging fire truck in serviceBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
December 30. 2012 9:03PM
GILFORD - The fire department expects to have Engine 4 back in service by Feb. 1 after spending almost $50,000 to repair the 25-year-old pump truck.
After the repair work is done, the truck will be legally able to travel on state roads and should work better than before, said Town Administrator Scott Dunn.
It won't, however, meet requirements of the National Fire Protection Association, which recommends that fire trucks be retired after 25 years of service.
"It will be legal on our roads, but it will never meet the current firefighting standards," Dunn said. "But that's what the people voted for."
In September, voters defeated a ballot question to buy a new for a new $441,000 fire truck to replace the old engine, which had been Engine 1's backup and the town's only pump truck before a state inspection took it off the road in April.
The proposal, the second brought to voters this year, was defeated by 10 votes at town voting. A total of 1,832 votes were cast on the ballot question, which needed a three-fifths majority, or 1,099 of those votes, to pass. But the vote was 1,089 in favor, 743 against.
Voters defeated a similar proposal at Town Meeting in March, with 709 in favor to 915 against.
Since Engine 4 was taken off the road, the town has had to borrow fire trucks from Belmont and Laconia while relying heavily on mutual aid. Fire Chief Stephen Carrier said during the summer, six calls required borrowing a neighboring town's fire truck. In three of those cases, the department borrowed a Laconia truck, and three times it borrowed a Belmont truck, he said.
On several occasions, mutual aid was needed from other towns because the town only has only had three trucks available, he said.
The truck's brakes, radiator, cab, and electrical system needed repair, and it needed a new pump.
Repair work began in October. Since then, the town has spent more than $36,000 on a replacement pump and $12,000 on replacement parts, Dunn said.
"We've put more than 100 man-hours into it so far," he said.

What did the Open Data Center Alliance ever do for us?
Let Intel cloud man be your guide
Cloud Podcast The Open Data Centre Alliance is an independent group of vendors and end users - who seem to constitute the core of the steering committee - that aims to help smooth the inevitable standards wars that emerge with the battle for the Cloud space.
Part of its remit is to develop a 'vendor agnostic Usage Road Map' that everyone can work with to deliver the cloudy goods.
Intel has played a key role in establishing the ODCA and, below, Intel cloud expert Alan Priestley talks to The Register's Tim Phillips about whether or not real people in the data centres will notice any effect from the organisation's efforts.
Alan tells Tim that while Reg readers can't all be in every meeting, they will still have access to the best practice documentation that the members produce; and so we can all benefit from improvements in interoperability and security standards .

- 4 cups sugar
- 1 cup white corn syrup
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 2 cups chopped pecans
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir only until sugar has dissolved. Do not stir after this point. Cook syrup mixture until it reaches 250 degrees F on a candy thermometer, bringing it to a hard ball stage.
While the syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Once the sugar mixture reaches 250 degrees F, carefully pour a slow steady stream of syrup into the stiffly beaten egg whites, beating constantly at high speed. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until mixture holds its shape, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in pecans.
Using 2 spoons, drop the divinity onto waxed paper, using 1 spoon to push the candy off the other. This may take a little practice because the technique is to twirl the pushing spoon, making the candy look like the top of a soft serve ice cream. If the candy becomes too stiff, add a few drops of hot water. You will need to work fast when making this type of candy. After you spoon the cooked sugar and nuts onto the waxed paper, you're done. Cool the candies on racks completely. You can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

"The challenge remains. On the other side are formidable forces: money, political power, the major media. On our side are the people of the world and a power greater than money or weapons: the truth.
Truth has a power of its own. Art has a power of its own. That age-old lesson – that everything we do matters – is the meaning of the people's struggle here in the United States and everywhere. A poem can inspire a movement. A pamphlet can spark a revolution. Civil disobedience can arouse people and provoke us to think, when we organize with one another, when we get involved, when we stand up and speak out together, we can create a power no government can suppress. We live in a beautiful country. But people who have no respect for human life, freedom, or justice have taken it over. It is now up to all of us to take it back."
— Howard Zinn
"Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man."

"I have read the Bible, and I know it very well. I know the mistranslations, the changes, the corruptions. The Bible you read is very different from the original. Certain passages have been removed. New ones have been added. Words have changed their meaning. Do you take the laws of Leviticus to be true now? Do you wish that every country lived by such laws?" – Andrew M.
Andrew, I don't believe you have read the Bible. If you had, you wouldn't believe the things you do. Nothing has changed in Scripture. I have been reading the Bible every day without fail for more than 40 years. It is filled with prophecies written thousands of years before they were fulfilled. Its inspiration is axiomatic. Regarding your question about living under the laws in Leviticus – why would we adopt 3,000-year-old Hebrew civil law? We have our own laws.
"Why do you think God does not intervene if something bad is going to happen? He lets innocent children die or women get raped and murdered. He could stop it at any time, but He just lets it happen. Don't you see anything wrong with that?" – Jamie D.
Jamie, have you ever lied or stolen something? God let you do it. Have you ever looked with lust, even though He considers it to be adultery? God let you do it. He considers these things to be evil, yet you were allowed to do them. He allows evil (rape and murder), but He warns us that the Day will come when every murderer, rapist, thief, liar and adulterer will get justice – and Hell is God's place of punishment. If you want Him to deal with evil today, where would you end up? It's important to know also that God lets 150,000 people die each day, but He offers everlasting life to those who are evil in His eyes. How kind is that? See needGod.com for details.
"Things banned by the Bible: Shaving – Leviticus 19:27, Cursing – Ephesians 5:4, Gossip – Leviticus 19:16, Football on Saturdays – Exodus 20:8, Eating Lobster – Leviticus 11:10, Eating Pork – Leviticus 11:7, Cotton Polyester Blends – Leviticus 19:19, Associating with women who are on their period – Leviticus 15-19" – Matt S.
Matt, this is a mixture of moral and ceremonial Hebrew laws. The moral Law ("You shall not murder," steal, lie, commit adultery, etc.,) is binding on the whole of humanity. This is summarized in the Ten Commandments and encompasses gossip, cursing, lust and hatred. Its precepts are written on our hearts via the conscience, and each of us will be judged by it on Judgment Day (Romans 2:12, James 2:12). That's why all of us need a Savior.
Then there is the ceremonial/dietary law, in which God instructed Israel not to eat horses, camels, cats, dogs, lions, tigers, etc. Only those with a split hoof could be eaten. "Unclean" animals such as pigs and lobsters were forbidden, probably because they were scavengers and were therefore not good for their health. God also told them what to wear and the importance of resting one day each week. If they didn't rest they were liable to suffer from stress, and if they mixed cotton and wool, it would make them sweat.
Christians are free to follow the dietary laws of the Old Testament; however, the New Testament tells us they have no influence on whether or not we enter the Kingdom of Heaven. These laws are not binding on our modern society as is the moral Law, so we can ignore them if we wish. But in doing so we are liable to end up with a stressed, diseased, overweight society that has to rub chemicals under its armpits to stop offensive odor.

I've always wanted to post somewhere about this but haven't but now i will. I'm looking for opinions and hoping to provide people with facts that are true if they have any that they throw out. I believe that marijuana is nothing more than a miracle medicine and relaxant and by not legalizing it, we are missing out on helping tons of people.
Views: 781
Not really, though it alleviates a little bit of pain it is not nearly as effective as codeine in that respect. I just have straight up migraines with no aura. Triptans usually work, but become less and less effective with time and I continually have to try new types as they are released.
@Arcus - have you had an MRI, to make sure it isn't something even more serious?
I rarely use marijuana, but when I do....it's marvelous.
I believe marijuana, as a recreational intoxicant, is less harmful than alcohol and therefore it's use should be fully legalized. I don't know about it being a miracle drug, but I have heard that marijuana juice has some very positive health benefits.
By not legalizing it we are providing a revenue stream for organized and often no so organized criminals. As a Canadian it seems I live in a society where many people are active users and most don't mind it other than the smell. It also seems that enforcement of laws is fairly soft when it comes to small personal amounts. So for the end user here it can essentially seem like it is legal. So instead of being forced to buy from a dealer of questionable repute why not allow said end user to grow a personal amount or by from a tax paying, on the level, distributor? I don't foresee an increase in the number of people using it the overall result would be a weaker revenue potential for criminals and perhaps some tax revenues generated form legitimate businesses.
Hey man, you see my Furry Freak Brother comics anywhere? Maybe that damn cat hid them on me !! .......and if you understand that you know my opinion :-)
Phineas, Fat Freddy, And Freewheelin' Franklin....
In the early seventies I loved reading that shit and staying smoked...ah the good ole days....
I love the way they say "Marijuana is a gateway to harder drugs." Okay. I think perhaps alcohol and cigarettes are the more common gateway drugs, and both of them are more harmful than marijuana.
Potatoes are the gateway food to deep fried mars bars.
Or deep fried macaroni and cheese. LOL
OMG! 100% of murderers have admitted to drinking water!
100% of cancer victims are also drinkers of water!
Water is the leading cause of drowning!
Horrible.. I'll stick to coke from now on. I don't want to end up in prison.
And for me, my meth, heroin, and vodka cocktail.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has signed a law setting limits on turning immigrants over to federal authorities for possible deportation.
State authorities will honor requests to detain only immigrants who have felony convictions, belong to gangs, show up on terrorist watch lists, are subject to deportation orders or meet other safety risks.
Supporters say Connecticut is the first state to adopt such a law since a federal program for sharing arrestee fingerprints with immigration authorities was enacted. They say the law was needed to ensure immigrants cooperate with police without fear they will be turned over to immigration authorities.
The Secure Communities information-sharing program was activated statewide last year.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say their agency focuses on convicted criminals and other public safety threats and the federal government sets the priorities.

Information and advice for parents on coping with a teenager, including dealing with challenging behaviour.
Many parents find their teenager's behaviour challenging.
Teenagers' behaviour can be baffling, stressful, hurtful and often worrying. But in most cases it doesn't mean that there is anything more serious going on than the natural process of becoming an adult.
Many of the common behaviour issues that parents find hard are an essential part of puberty and growing up.
Surges of hormones, combined with body changes, struggling to find an identity, pressures from friends and a developing sense of independence, mean the teenage years are a confusing time for your child.
It can mean that they, for example, become aloof, want more time alone or with friends, feel misunderstood, reject your attempts to talk or show affection, or appear sullen and moody.
Teenagers can challenge even the calmest of parents. When you have further pressures in your life, such as other children, work, relationships, family commitments or illness, it can feel as though your teenager is going to push you over the edge.
Try to step back from the situation, and remember that they have physiological reasons for behaving in ways that can be difficult to live with. They're probably not enjoying it either.
You're the adult, and it is your responsibility to guide them through the difficult times. Don't expect to enjoy your time with them all of the time, and remember to look after yourself.
Parenting a teenager can be exhausting, so it's important to look after yourself, too.
Family Lives, a charity dedicated to helping families, offers the following advice:
Linda Blair, a clinical psychologist who works with families, explains that: "Teenagers can be largely emotional rather than logical because of the hormones rampaging through their bodies. It is not necessarily pleasant for them, and it can even feel frightening.
"Although it might be hard for you, they need you to maintain a calm consistent presence."
Follow these tips:
There are several organisations that provide emotional support and practical advice. Try:

Tsonga takes advantage of Federer's 'sh---y day'
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga dropped his head into his hands, then pointed to the sky and let out a thousand-watt grin.
His opponent, Roger Federer, had just fed a backhander into the net — yet another mishit on the day by a player who rarely makes errors.
It was over, and Tsonga knew it.
He had won the Rogers Cup — for the first time.
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in Toronto, he had taken down another giant.
"I knew I was able to play great tennis, but maybe not like this, this week," the Frenchman said before collecting his winner's trophy and a cheque for $598,000 on the stadium showcourt at the Rexall Centre.
Indeed, Tsonga caught a lot of people off guard, including himself.
And Federer, of course.
With yet another upset over a top-10 opponent — this time in two sets, 7-5, 7-6 (3) — Tsonga was crowned champion, becoming the first man from France to win the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Canada.
Earlier, he knocked off top seed Novak Djokovic in straight sets, then world No. 9 Andy Murray in three sets, then world No. 8 Grigor Dimitrov in three sets.
Tsonga, ranked 15th in the world going in and seeded 13th in Toronto, didn't need to extend himself against the Swiss great, completing his takedown of Federer in one hour, 47 minutes.
It was a mini stunner of sorts, with Federer looking increasingly better each day coming into the final and seemingly poised to collect his 80th career ATP title and third Rogers Cup.
That scenario started to crumble once the guy from LeMans with the heavy serve and dangerous forehand got going.
Tsonga entered the day as the tournament's ace leader with 66. Backed by that huge serve, he was once again able to put an opponent on the defensive, this time taking away Federer's creative ways, fluid groundstrokes and, at times, his backhander.
Tsonga finished with 11 aces and 93% efficiency in first service points won, while Federer was simply unable to break his opponent, or get into his rhythm for that matter.
"Today was just difficult in terms of rhythm from the baseline," said Federer, who was returning to the hard court after his runner-up finish at Wimbledon last month. "It was like a new tournament for me today."
It was not that way for Tsonga, whose consistency throughout the week paved the way to him winning the second Masters 1000 title of his career.
Tsonga — who has never won a Grand Slam — had the 17-time Grand Slam winner fighting for every point, dictating the play throughout and forcing the 33-year-old Federer to come to the net.
"You know, I think for the moment, you know, I don't realize really what I achieved this week, but it's a big achievement for me," Tsonga said. "I played well all this week. I beat many good guys. You know, it's a big achievement."
Federer, the world No. 3 came in with an 11-4 lifetime record against Tsonga, who last beat him at the 2013 French Open.
But Tsonga, after failing to convert on six break opportunities in the second set, walked away with it in the second-set tiebreak, going up a mini-break and not looking back.
Tsonga got his serve going early. His biggest weapon reached speeds of more than 220 km/h and three consecutive cannons gave him points in the ninth game of the opening set before the Frenchman finally got his lone break in the 12th game, Federer sailing one wide to give his opponent a 6-5 lead, allowing him to serve out the set.
That opening set wasn't overly inspiring for either player, however. Both showed flashes of brilliance, but an equal number of miscues.
Federer struggled to find his groove, finishing with 15 unforced errors in the opening set, including a handful of returns into the net and an unlucky roll off the net tape on the third point of the third game.
It's not to suggest Federer was not up to his usual tricks at times, including a mesmerizing drop shot at the net out of his opponent's reach.
But the shots fans have come to expect from Federer were few and far between on the afternoon.
"I definitely felt further away from victory than he did," Federer said. "I mean, naturally because of the scoreline, I mean, he was in the lead, but I just didn't feel like I was playing good enough to win today. It was just really frustrating the way I felt out there."
Tsonga, meanwhile, was not flawless. But despite winning fewer than half of his first-serve points in the opening set, he had more to offer than Federer when it mattered most.
"You continue to believe in it. Even if, you know, people around you say you're not able to do it, you believe in it," Tsonga said. "And when you believe in something, you know, it makes it sometimes possible."
A candid moment arrived when a reporter asked Federer some dizzying question about his psychological preparation for the match.
"You can be as nervous as you want to be," Federer said. "If you can't hit forehands or whatever, it's just, like — it wasn't my day, man. It was just a sh—y day."
Not so much for Tsonga, who became the first player in 12 years to beat four top-10 players in a single Masters 1000 event.
Bruno Soares of Brazil and Alexander Peya of Austria successfully defended their Rogers Cup doubles title, beating Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Marcelo Melo of Brazil, 6-4, 6-3.

High Range CTD for Exploration of the Red Sea Deep Brine Pools
DOEI Funded Project: 2008
AbstractThe hot brine pools of the Red Sea may well be the hottest and saltiest natural waters to be found on Earth. As such they present a unique challenge for sampling with regular oceanographic instruments. The physical structure of these fluid pools is of particular interest, as they involve double-diffusive mixing in which thin high-gradient regions are formed that separate well mixed layers above and below. Greater thermal diffusion across the interfaces occurs because of the great difference in the molecular diffusivities of heat and salt (Schmitt, 1994). The buoyancy flux due to the heat diffusion drives convection that keeps the mixed layers stirred. We are interested in the detailed structure of these convectively-driven layered systems. High-resolution data on the interfacial gradients will allow estimates of heat and salt fluxes, and mapping of the extent and water properties of the layers will permit budgets and estimates of heat and salt supply to the deep brine pools. This proposal seeks support for development of a high-range CTD to enable this exploration.

This week on Thursday, December 14th, the second annual edition of REUSE 2017 will unfold in Silicon Valley. It's a gathering crafted specifically for the vendors of IP blocks, and now whole sub-systems, those pieces of the puzzle which allow the vendors' customers to design and produce electronic products more efficiently and with better results.
It goes without saying that IP is a pivotal part of the semiconductor supply chain today. Organizations like Arm and Synopsys reap huge benefits from being among the principal suppliers of that IP. But there are hundreds of IP companies in the world – big, medium, and small – that also provide IP.
Potentially, they could all be participating in something like Reuse 2017. Arm, for instance, is participating in the conference, along with dozens of smaller companies. Synopsys, however, is not.

Gift-buying guide for him and her
Yup! It's that magic time of year when we must take on the delicate task of buying a gift for our significant others. We can begin by exploring the world of buying for "her."
Gentlemen: Do not doubt, even for a fleeting second – if you buy the wrong thing, "her" can be more significant than you ever imagined.
An error in this most closely scrutinized annual ritual can result in lonely nights and a familiarity with the living room couch that borders on disturbing.
According to the gift-buying gurus, 2010 is the year of electronics. Allegedly, anything operated by electricity is fair game for all sexes. The choices are overwhelming; everything from R2D2 robots to computerized nose-hair clippers. Just Google "electronic gifts" and you'll see what I mean.
However, if you purchase an electronic gadget, toy, or computerized anything because you think it's "cool," trust me, your feelings will not be shared. Electronic playthings do not represent affection or anything close to the "L" word as defined by most of the feminine set.
Keeping that in mind, I am confident that you would get a nod of approval with a gift like Clive Christian Imperial Majesty Perfume. It comes enthroned in a handcrafted Baccarat crystal bottle with a solid-gold neck and five-carat diamond top.
It is also delivered to the recipient's doorstep in a chauffeurdriven Rolls Royce. However, this little expression of your undying love will set you back $215,000.
If your sweetie fancies herself as a bit of an intellectual, for a little less money you might try appealing to her inner Dorothy Parker with the gift of an Algonquin Round Table experience.
She will be the guest of honor at a dinner party at the Algonquin Hotel along with eight distinguished artists and intellectuals. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
For the paltry sum of $200,000, and enduring dinner with a bunch of snots, you will be king of the boudoir at least until Valentine's Day.
If baubles impress the object of your affection, nothing says "Love" better than a pair of diamond and ruby encrusted slippers by Harry Winston.
After your favorite femme focuses her baby blues on this enviable footwear, lounging around the house will never be the same. And it will only set you back $3,000,000. Yes, you read it right – three million.
If resources are limited, you could always tap the Neiman Marcus Holiday gift catalogue and consider a 48-foot MetroShip Houseboat – $250,000. If that doesn't strike your fancy, try the one-of-a-kind his and hers charm bracelet with extremely rare, naturally colored, marquise-cut, blue, pink, white and gold diamonds — all for only $248,000.
If you're on an obscenely tight budget, you might consider the $75,000 Neiman Marcus edition Camaro convertible. Apparently, it has a $45,000 paint job. That is the only discernible difference between the NM version and the top o' the line $30,000 model.
I am sure that any of the aforementioned will make you a hero in her eyes. You might not be excused from your mother-in-law's birthday party, but a few weekends of golf and an occasional night out with the boys might be in order.
Now let's consider a gift for "him." Men are much easier. If they can play with it, drink it, eat it, or ogle it – they are happy. Cost is of little consequence.
Get him a men's underwear repair kit for $9.95 and you could easily convince him that you put a lot of thought into your purchase. I'm not lying about this item.
It comes with patches, needle and thread, safety pins, elastic, whiteout, and trusty duct tape, as well as a 32-page instruction manual. It can be purchased at "What on Earth." I'm sure you know exactly the guy who needs one.
If you buy him a water-balloon pump, he will love you forever. The balloon pumping station comes with 500 biodegradable water balloons in assorted colors, with strings for tying.
Water is optional. The pump will inflate the balloons using air only, or most other liquids. Tell him to use his imagination. This unique gift is also available at "What On Earth" for only $24.95.
If these suggestions are too creative, just go to the electronic gift page on Google and buy him anything.
Finding appropriate Christmas gifts for our loved ones is a signifi cant part of living in a system that we can't understand.

Marc-Daniel Paul's political awareness was born when President Barack Obama took office.
Paul, a published author who tutored other students during his high school years, enters Suffolk University with the goal of broadening his public service by someday entering the political arena.
And he is eager to reach a milestone in October, when he will turn 18 and thus be eligible to vote in the November election.
Close encounter in D.C.
Paul explored the nation's capital and met Senators John Kerry and Scott Brown this past summer, when he traveled to Washington D.C. through an internship with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
"Visiting Washington inspired and motivated me for what I want to do in the future," says Paul, who will major in Political Science. "I know politics is a highly competitive field, but with hard work and determination, it's not impossible."
Networking in Boston
Suffolk's downtown Boston location and close proximity to the State House dovetail nicely with his career plans.
"I figured it would be a great place to meet people politically, right in the heart of the city," he says. "I'm excited about this whole new life I'm about to experience."
Sharing knowledge
Born and raised in Haiti, Paul made a name for himself at Brockton High School. He was an honors student and tutored his peers in English, math, and science. He was president of the French Club, student adviser to the Haitian Club, and wrote for the student newspaper, the Boxer Round-Up.
Off campus, he tutored students at the Easton-based School on Wheels, Inc., program, which enhances educational opportunities for homeless children.
Paul also published a book of poems, Breathing Ink: The Heart of Poetry.
While studying Political Science in pursuit of his dream is Paul's priority for the next four years, he is passionate about his volunteerism and said he hopes to continue his service to others, perhaps as part of the University's active service-learning community.

FLEMING COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Thousands of friends and family said their final goodbyes to a Fleming County teen today.
15-year-old Ricky Hamilton, Jr. died after investigators say he fell into a rock quarry after he got separated from his father while hunting.
His football teammates say Ricky, Jr. was more than just another player on the field.
"Ricky is a part of our family. He is going to be a brother with us. We are going to see each other five or ten years down the road, and we are still going to remember Ricky and what he made for us. He will always have a special place in our heart," said Heath Burnett, one of his football teammates.
For some it's still surreal that Ricky, Jr. won't be walking the halls at Fleming County High School on Monday or gearing up for another football game.
And now that one of their own is gone, Ricky, Jr.'s teammates say all they can do is show their respect.
"Fleming County comes together at times like this. And we will come together and we will be here for the family," said Desmond McAdams, another one of his football teammates.
Memories are what this team says will keep Ricky, Jr. alive even when they hit the field without him.
"We had prayer groups out here. We just were wishing and hoping he came back alive and if you knew the kid, you'd think he was going to come back. You'd think he'd survive the way he was. He's one of them country boys," said McAdams.
These players say that saying their final goodbyes is tougher than any game of football they've ever played.
Donations can still be made to a fund at the Peoples Bank of Fleming County to help Hamilton's family with the cost of the funeral.

ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Former Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo has announced he's running for the senate.
Paraguay's senators voted Lugo out of office for "poor performance" last June, but now he wants to join them as one of several candidates from a leftist coalition.
The 61-year-old Lugo challenged his impeachment and even formed a parallel cabinet, urging Paraguayans to resist the replacement government formed by his vice president, Federico Franco.
But that parallel cabinet dissolved within weeks. Now it seems that Lugo's promise to retire and write his memoirs didn't hold either.
The April 21 elections will be watched by international observers sent by the Organization of American States to vouch for their legitimacy.

By dchud - Posted on November 26th, 2002
Adam writes: "The ZING Initiative (Z39.50 International Next Generation), under the auspices of the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency at the Library of Congress, is pleased to announce Version 1.0 of SRW and CQL. SRW ("Search/Retrieve for the Web") is a web-service-based protocol which aims to integrate access across networked resources, and to promote interoperability between distributed databases by providing a common platform. SRW features both SOAP and URL-based access mechanisms (SRW and SRU respectively) to provide for a wide range of possible clients. It uses CQL, the Common Query Language, which provides a powerful yet intuitive means of formulating searches."
