And court records indicate this isn't the first time.
Friday, Teri Lynn Stoker was charged with abuse of a vulnerable adult, a third degree felony. Stoker is a caretaker and gets a monthly check from the state.
"He (victim) told me she got $3500 a month," says Charles Masters who lives next door.
According to court documents the victim was physically abused last September and police came to the home.
"He came over and he had several bite marks on him," recalls Masters. "She had bit him all over his clothes."
That was in September. Prosecutors have now charged Stoker with the abuse.
Stoker wasn't home when ABC 4 News knocked on the door. But her daughter was.
"Before the end of September was the last time she took care of him (victim)," says the daughter.
Court records reveled that Stoker had a plea and abeyance over a previous abuse case involving the victim.
In fact, she was granted probation in January.
Charles Masters says the victim is helpless.
"She would beat on him with whatever. He'd come over and cry and cry and cry," says Masters. "He's older but he's got the mentality of a 12 year old."
Last month Stoker was in court where she received probation for the first abuse case which happened in May.
A spokesperson for the Department of Children and Family Services say mentally disabled clients are allowed to make decisions if they have the mental capacity.
"If we have concerns for their safety and they want to stay we will still express our concerns and try to encourage them to be in a safe place," says Elizabeth Solis.
Solis says they are not allowed to reveal personal information about any of their clients.
But Masters says the victim left after September and may be in a group home. Meanwhile Sim Gill, the Salt Lake District Attorney says Stoker's probation may be revoked and the judge could make her carry out the original sentence for the crime.

Dr. Immunity
Walt has never taken one sick day during the 18 years he's been with the company and he's more than happy to brag about it to anyone who'll listen. However, he's also spread a variety of flu-like illnesses and stomach-borne sicknesses among his co-workers over the years. His nickname? H1-NWalt. "I take my job very seriously," he likes to say.
The lunch thief
Where did your Dannon yogurt cup go? Who could have possibly mistaken your can of Diet Fresca for theirs? Where is that second piece of your leftover pizza? Only the Lunch Thief knows!
The smelly sock king
"Man, oh man...are my dogs barking today!" That's what your coworker Lenny says every day as he slips off his orthotic shoes and unleashes a rank scent throughout the office. Even in the dead-cold of winter you know when Lenny's in the office.
Mary Megaphone
They can be in the office right next door or in one all the way down the hall. It doesn't matter: Some coworkers are so freakin' loud and so rarely close their doors that you know more than you'd ever want to about what's going on in their lives: "Hey, Mary, how's that foot fungus of yours doing?" The worst: The 2-hour-long conference calls (on speaker phone) or Friday afternoons when they sing along to "Come On Eileen" and other '80s hits hold tunes. Would it kill them to simply shut their doors? Evidently, yes.
The guy has never packed a lunch in his life and is too cheap to buy his food down in the cafeteria. So Stan practices what can best be described as "seagulling": hovering around, waiting for various lunch-time corporate get-togethers to finish up so that he can assemble his mid-day meal from their leftovers. Congealed mayonnaise, stale bread and unrefrigerated deli meats don't bother him one bit. "Lunch is served!" you can hear him cheering every day around 2:30 p.m.
Ever since your company opened a gym for employees, one of your coworkers has now taken it upon himself to become the in-house weight-lifting guru. Mr. Universe will never pass an opportunity to lift up his shirt and display his six-pack abs, or discuss the ingredients of the protein shake he's drinking, even though no one asked. "If you need a spot, just let me know." Sure thing, bro.
Hungover Sales Guys
OK, we get it, you had a "wild" time entertaining the company's clients and dropping "Hangover" and "Caddyshack" references all night long. Great, we're all glad you might have landed some new business over a fabulous dinner and drinks. And yes, sir, we too hope the CFO is going to cover the expense report you're going to submit for that crazy evening. Now, please, get out of my office and go sleep off whatever it is you got emanating from your pores.
The Real-Deal Nick Burns
He's a geek, for sure. And he's arrogant, a tad rude and his breath smells like Doritos and Cherry Coke: He's your company's IT support admin (aka "help desk guy"). But it's 15 minutes until you've got to deliver that PowerPoint presentation to the bosses, and your PC is seized up. "You're so smart, Gene," you say. "Oh, I know," says he.
If we each clean up after ourselves, there will be no messes, right? So what has happened in today's office: Sinks stacked high with dirty dishes, refrigerators containing "food stuffs" from the first Bush administration, and microwaves that look like a set from a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie and smell like a cross between a fish market and wet cat food. (And let's not even get started on bathroom common spaces.)
Cube Squatters
You're trying to get work done, and all this person wants to do is keep talking about the weekend in wine country or the sister-in-law who is "sooooo annoying." (Or, like these guys, they're just hanging out in your cube waiting for the pizza to arrive.) Turn your back and guess what?, still there! What these co-workers lack in powers of observation they more than make up for in boring stories without end.
Ever since your company opened a gym for employees, one of your coworkers has now taken it upon himself to become the in-house weight-lifting guru. Mr. Universe will never pass an opportunity to lift up his shirt and display his six-pack abs, or discuss the ingredients of the protein shake he's drinking, even though no one asked.

County council 'cuts to democracy'
1:58pm Wednesday 16th October 2013 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
OPPOSITION parties at County Hall have hit out at a move they say cuts democracy.
Future county council meetings will be limited to debating just five motions - with two reserved to the ruling Tory administration.
The change, narrowly passed at yesterday's full Essex County Council meeting, means there are just three motions available to the five opposition groups.
Councillors from all the opposition groups hit out at the plans to cut the number of debates, saying it reduced democracy, removed flexibility and the ability to discuss current issues, and took power away from individual members to raise topics in the council chamber.

Financial Information: College of Optometry
Books and Equipment
Students are required to have access to designated textbooks and equipment. Books and supplies purchased at the University Bookstore cost approximately $1,200 during the first and second year and about $1,000 for the third year. Costs for the fourth year are substantially less.
Students can purchase equipment required for the first year of study through the Optometric Student Association for slightly above cost, which is now at approximately $2,600. Trial lenses and hand-held instruments—a retinoscope, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes—are some of the required pieces of equipment that will be used throughout the students' educational careers in examination of patients and later during the students professional practice. A service policy may be purchased with the equipment. After being admitted, students will receive specific equipment lists and information concerning purchase and rental possibilities in late spring prior to enrollment.
External Clinic Rotation
Students spend 32 weeks in interdisciplinary clinic rotations during the fourth year. Several of these clinics are in or near Houston and require no extra expense except for transportation. Other extern sites are located in other states or countries. (See External Education Program for a listing.) Students should plan ahead for additional transportation and room and board expenses for many of these extern assignments outside of the Houston area.
Total Costs
Tuition for first-year Texas residents is currently $346 per semester credit hour, nonresident tuition is $622 per semester credit hour. Fees for items such as: Student services, building use, computer use, health center, University Center, library, international education, and clinic/lab fees average approximately $1,180 per semester.
During the first academic year, total expenses (educational and personal) may range from $30,894 - $36,546 for Texas residents and from $$41,620 - $47,272 for nonresidents.
The nine-month budget shown breaks down estimated expenses for the 2007-2008 academic year based on: the purchase of new text books and equipment and assumes student is living off-campus. A typical first-year budget follows; this budget is for a first-year student living off-campus. The on-campus budget is slightly lower due to decreased room & board and transportation costs.
Expenses | Resident | Non-Resident |
9 Months | 9 Months | |
Tuition & Fees | $16,606 | $25,216 |
Room & Board | $8,772 | $8,772 |
Equipment & Books | $5,814 | $5,814 |
Transportation | $2,396 | $2,396 |
Personal | $2,958 | $2,958 |
Total | $36,546 | $47,272 |
Costs in subsequent years should be approximately $1,700 less per year because of decreased costs for books and equipment.
Tuition Deposit
As of August 1, 2003 all accepted applicants are required to submit a $500 deposit. Upon matriculation this $500 deposit will be applied to tuition. This amount is non-refundable.
Student Employment
The optometry curriculum will require the major portion of a student's time and concentration. Especially during the first academic year, students should outline a financial plan that does not require them to work. However, if a real need for working arises, permission may be granted for limited employment. School assignments and clinical duties cannot be altered to fit work schedules. Students should discuss the possibility of employment with the director of the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions to determine if their academic performance would be jeopardized by working full- or part-time jobs. Work-study funds and a limited number of teaching assistantships are available for upper-level students who have excellent academic records.

I had the chance to attend my eldest son's school intramurals a few weeks ago. Everyone knows that the intramurals has always been a part of the school calendar specially here in our country. Engaging students to participate and play a sport of their choice is one way to bring fun and learning together. To do one's best, understand team work and build sportsmanship at a very young age.
My eldest is still in pre-school and I had no idea that even pre-schoolers have the chance to play during the intramurals like all other students do. I can't remember if I had the same privilege back then.
One thing that caught my attention was the prizes that were given for the winners of every game that they play. All of the rewards have something to do with this very iconic game we as we all know as the "Angry Birds."
What is in this game that made a lot of people become addicted to it? Is it their moody yet colorful and cuddly look or is it the challenge and excitement it presents while playing the game?
I don't think these kids have any knowledge about the game itself. Even my son hasn't played this game on our PC or even on the a hand-held console. All I know is that their cuteness have sparked worldwide admiration.
The game that was initially released for Apple's iPhone became viral that it was made available by its developers to different platforms, devices and consoles.
The game is fairly simple. You need to topple down the defenses built by the pigs (who was according to the story has stolen these birds' eggs), killing them in the process in order to finish a certain level. You are to use these furious birds of varying sizes and features from each level which are placed in a slingshot to break the bad pigs defenses.
Aside from the game reaching to different digital equipments, it has become an icon that even retail merchandise has adopted these furry little creatures for advertising purposes. Bags, clothing, school items, cakes and pastries and everything that you can think of can be seen having pictures of this gaming icon.
I do wish that pac-man was also fully advertised when I was at a young age.
So, have you also been inflicted with this bird's flu?

Bus stopped!

2012 Impact policy forum in Ann Arbor to put spotlight on statewide ballot proposals
The lineup for this year's annual Impact forum in Ann Arbor includes some of the biggest names supporting and opposing two statewide ballot proposals.
With a focus on Proposals 2 and 3, the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber will hold its annual public policy forum at the Kensington Court hotel from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12.
Proposal 3 on the Nov. 6 ballot would require electric utilities to get at least 25 percent of their energy from renewable sources — including wind, solar, biomass and hydropower — by 2025.
Journalist Tim Skubick will moderate during two panel discussions on the so-called "25 by 25" and "Protect Working Families" ballot initiatives.
"I'm really looking forward to what questions Tim Skubick asks the panelists, because I think he won't let them stick to talking points," said Andy LaBarre, the chamber's vice president of government relations.
Doug Jester, principal of 5 Lakes Energy, will be speaking in support of Proposal 3 on behalf of Michigan Energy Michigan Jobs.
Speaking in opposition will be Ken Sikkema, former Michigan Senate majority leader and policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants. He's representing the Clean Affordable Renewable Energy for Michigan Coalition, a group opposing Proposal 3.
Ken Brock, campaign manager for Protect Working Families, will be speaking in support of Proposal 2, while Stu Sandler, CEO of Decider Strategies, will be speaking in opposition on behalf of Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution.
Washtenaw County resident Phil Power, founder and chairman of the Center for Michigan, is expected to deliver the keynote address.
This year's Impact forum will be an interactive event. Attendees will have an opportunity to not only ask questions, but also weigh in during instant polls immediately following each panel.
"We welcome folks to come with open minds and hear the arguments for and against both proposals, and they'll have a chance to weigh in directly," LaBarre said. "These are fluid issues that are yet to be determined, that people are still making their minds up on."
The chamber has taken a stance against Proposal 3, arguing such a renewable energy standard should be put in place through legislative action and not a constitutional amendment.
The Ann Arbor City Council just passed a resolution in support of Proposal 3, arguing Michigan's current renewable energy standard of 10 percent by 2015 has been shown to be achievable with little impact on customer prices and a positive impact on jobs, the economy and pollution levels.
State Sen. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, also joined Zingerman's co-founder Paul Saginaw and officials from the American Wind Energy Association this past week in endorsing Proposal 3, arguing it will create 94,000 Michigan jobs. The Ann Arbor Democratic Party also endorsed it.
A candidate mixer with federal, state and local candidates for public office will immediately follow the panel discussions from 4 to 6 p.m. and is free for attendees.
For more information on this year's Impact forum or to register online, visit www.a2ychamber.org. Admission is $60 for chamber members and $75 for the general public.
The League of Women Voters in Ann Arbor also announced on Friday it will examine this year's crop of ballot proposals on a special program televised on CTN.
The program, which presents both the pros and cons of all six state ballot proposals as well as local ballot questions in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, will begin airing next Wednesday. In addition, the league invites voters to prepare for the upcoming election by visiting VOTE411.org.

One of my Favorite Kiyonna Styles of Late
This dress is supremely flattering. Finally, a Kiyonna dress that has a v-neck high enough not to need a camisole underneath! The wide waistband defines the waist and smooths and holds in the stomach area. The length is the perfect just-a-smidge-below the knee and the sleeves are just long enough to cover the upper ams without being too long as to look like wings. I bought this in basic black and the navy/gold combo. The black one is in heavy rotation in my closet. I ended up returning the navy/gold because the gold sheen made the fabric look overly shiny and inexpensive. It would be gorgeous in true navy!
Reviewer: Vicki (Riverside, CA) 2/12/2013
Perfect Dress!
I really love this dress. I have worn it to a couple of occasions that require cocktail attire and felt very beautiful. I purchased this dress in the gorgeous teal color and have received tons of compliments, which made me feel great!

the government should spend its money on these three things, the military, state services (such as police, fire, and roads), and euducation. the reason the military and state serves should be funded is becouse they could not be privatized and should be part of the government. Now education should be funduded by the government but on a much lower budget becouse education can be easily privatized it should be. but for poorer familys education should still be an option so they should keep funding education but not quit to the extent it is currently.thats what the government should focuse on with education miltary and state serveces

BP Comment Quick Links
March 1, 2013 Raising AcesOver the RadarIt has been 28 days since my last entry into the chronicles of Raising Aces, and though I did manage some vacation time during the break, my baseball schedule has been otherwise locked and loaded throughout the month. I had a blast with our mock arbitration series in early February, in which I went toe-to-toe with Ian Miller for a couple rounds of "name that comp." I also dropped by the Effectively Wild studios to share my thoughts about the 2013 Athletics with Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller, and behind the scenes I have been preparing more than 100 mechanical profiles for this year's Starting Pitcher Guide with Paul Sporer, which is currently in the final stages of production. The highlight of the past month was a 10-day hiatus to Costa Rica for my wedding and honeymoon. I enjoyed the experience of a lifetime with my lovely bride, but I must admit that it felt like I was cheating on baseball, leaving the country for a soccer-based nation just as pitchers and catchers were reporting to camp. It would seem that baseball has forgiven me, with BP 2013 appearing on my doorstep before I could fully unpack my bags. Every vacation is followed by a necessary period of baseball re-absorption, and the one topic that has dominated my consciousness in recent days is pitch velocity, particularly the sport-wide tendency for pitchers to lose velocity as they age. The phenomenon of dipping velocity occurs in-game as a pitcher fatigues, or over the course of a season due to the physical toll of the baseball schedule. Pitchers are also known to lose pitch speed as they grow older, and the pitchers that survive the aging process are often those who make the necessary mechanical adjustments to compensate for the loss of power. The topic of age-related velocity loss was addressed last July in the second episode of Effectively Wild, in which Sam lamented the disappointing MLB performance of Trevor Bauer, citing the expected diminishing rate of return with a prospect's stuff. I agree with Sam's premise, but I also believe that there are exceptions to the rule, as effective player development can potentially overcome the physical taxation of pitching.

There's a reason that Gov. Tom Corbett specifically targeted U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz for criticism during his campaign visit to Erie this week.
It's early in the campaign, but Schwartz is one of the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination and the right to oppose Corbett on Nov. 4, 2014.
Harper Polling, a firm founded by Brock McCleary, formerly with the National Republican Congressional Committee, put out a new poll showing Schwartz, of Montgomery County, D-13th Dist., with 22 percent of the vote. Rival Katie McGinty, former state environmental protection secretary, was closest with 15 percent.
State Treasurer Rob McCord had 12 percent; John Hanger, former state environmental protection secretary, had 7 percent; Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski had 6 percent; and Tom Wolf, former Revenue Department secretary, had 5 percent.
Read the full poll here.
Two other candidates, May Myers, a former pastor from Mechanicsburg, and Jo Ellen Litz, a Lebanon County commissioner, were not included in the poll.
However, the poll of 649 Democrats likely to vote in the primary also showed that 34 percent weren't sure who to pick, indicating the race is still wide open.
The poll was conducted Nov. 9-10.
– John Guerriero

Unlike her two later CDs, where Chapman softened a bit, these songs are pure, hard, protest, and what a joy it is to listen to them; what a joy to know that there is a pure, clear, voice out there that is challenging one's conscience. I haven't had the pleasure of such a listening experience since the early Joan Baez. And even though their voices are literally octives apart and completely different in tone and timbre, I rate Tracy Chapman right up there with Baez. Like her, Chapman has a voice that needs no accompaniment; it is an instrument unto itself. But unlike Baez, Chapman writes ALL her own music.
This CD is nothing less than a work of genius. I cannot say enough about it except to tell everyone I know to buy it and listen. You'll see for yourself!
Chapman's voice is stunning, particularly on the a capella Behind The Wall, which never ceases to bring a chill down my spine. I always thought I didn't like folk music, but Chapman has made me reconsider that belief. Her lyrics are meaningful, and the collection of songs come together to form an overall feel, a mood, that is extremely moving and empowering. She exemplifies how music can bring people together and be an impetus to change, ala the greats like Bob Dylan. Make no mistake -- this is a political album and Chapman wears her left wing leanings like a badge of honour. If you can't tolerate her political views, you probably won't like the album as much as her core fans. That said, her voice and the music itself may make it possible for you to give it at least an intial listen. Chapman is more than a singer and musician - she's a poet, and her message is one that I believe we all need to heed.
I highly reccommend this album to everyone. Even if you don't agree with her politics, hopefully she'll make you think. At the very least, you'll be listening to one of the purest, best voices in modern folk/r&b/soul around today.

Lusignan dynasty
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2007) |
The Lusignan family originated in Poitou near Lusignan in western France in the early 10th century. By the end of the 11th century, they had risen to become the most prominent petty lords in the region from their castle at Lusignan. In the late 12th century, through marriage and inheritance, a cadet branch of the family came to control the Kingdoms of Jerusalem and of Cyprus, while in the early 13th century, the main branch succeeded in the Counties of La Marche and Angoulême. As Crusader princes in the Latin East, they soon had connections with the Hethumid rulers of the Kingdom of Cilicia, which they inherited through marriage in the mid-14th century. The Armenian and Cypriot branches of the family eventually merged and the dynasty died out after the Ottoman conquest of their Asian kingdoms.
The Château de Lusignan, near Poitiers, was the principal seat of the Lusignans; it was destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and only its foundations remain in Lusignan. According to legend the earliest castle was built by the folklore water-spirit Melusine. The lords of the castle at Lusignan were counts of La Marche, over which they frequently fought with the counts of Angoulême. Count Hugh le Brun ("Hugh the Swarthy"), like most of the lords of Poitou, backed Arthur of Brittany as the better heir to Richard Lionheart when John Lackland acceded to the throne of England in 1199. Eleanor of Aquitaine traded English claims for their support of John. To secure his position in La Marche, the widowed Hugh arranged a betrothal with the daughter of his next rival of Angoulême, no more than a child; John however married her himself, in August 1200, and deprived Hugh of La Marche and his brother of Eu in Normandy. The aggrieved Lusignans turned to their liege lord, Philip Augustus, King of France. Philip demanded John's presence— a tactical impossibility— and declared John a contumacious vassal. As the Lusignan allies managed to detain both Arthur and Eleanor, John surprised their unprepared forces at the castle of Mirebeau, in July 1202, and took Hugh prisoner with 200 more of Poitou's fighting men. King John's savage treatment of the captives turned the tide against himself, and his French barons began to desert him in droves. Thus the Lusignans' diplomatic rebellion led directly to the loss of half of England's French territory, which was soon incorporated into France by Philip Augustus (The other "half", Aquitaine, was the possession of Eleanor, who was still alive).
Lords of Lusignan[edit]
Counts of La Marche[edit]
Hugh VI inherited by collateral succession the County of La Marche (1091) as descendant of Almodis.
Counts of La Marche and Angoulême[edit]
Hugh IX's son, Hugh X, married Isabelle of Angoulême, thus securing Angoulême (1220).
- Hugh X (died 1249)
- Hugh XI (died 1250)
- Hugh XII (died 1270)
- Hugh XIII (died 1303)
- Guy (died 1308)
- Yolande (died 1314)
- Yolande sold the fiefs of Lusignan, La Marche, Angoulême, and Fougères to Philip IV of France in 1308. They became a part of the French royal demesne and a common appanage of the crown.
Crusader kings[edit]
The Lusignans were among the French nobles who made great careers in the Crusades. An ancestor of the later Lusignan dynasty in the Holy Land, Hugh VI of Lusignan, was killed in the east during the Crusade of 1101. Another Hugh arrived in the 1160s and was captured in a battle with Nur ad-Din Zangi. In the 1170s, Amalric arrived in Jerusalem, having been expelled by Richard Lionheart (at that point, acting Duke of Aquitaine) from his realm, which included the family lands of Lusignan near Poitiers. Amalric married Eschiva, the daughter of Baldwin of Ibelin, and entered court circles. He had also obtained the patronage of Agnes of Courtenay, the divorced mother of King Baldwin IV, who held the county of Jaffa and Ascalon and was married to Reginald of Sidon. He was appointed Agnes's constable in Jaffa, and later constable of the kingdom. Hostile rumours alleged he was Agnes's lover, but this is questionable. It is likely that his promotions were aimed at weaning him away from the political orbit of the Ibelin family, who were associated with Raymond III of Tripoli, Amalric I's cousin and the former bailli or regent. Amalric's younger brother, Guy, arrived at some date before Easter 1180. When he arrived is quite unknown, unless we accept the statement of Ernoul that he arrived at this precise juncture on Amalric's advice. Many modern historians believe that Guy was already well established in Jerusalem by 1180, but there is no contemporary evidence to support this belief. What is certain is that Amalric of Lusignan's success facilitated Guy's social and political advancement.
Older accounts (derived from William of Tyre and Ernoul) claim that Agnes was concerned that her political rivals, headed by Raymond of Tripoli, were determined to exercise more control by forcing Agnes' daughter, the princess Sibylla, to marry someone of their choosing, and that Agnes foiled these plans by advising her son to have Sibylla married to Guy. However, it seems that the King, who was less malleable than earlier historians have portrayed, was considering the international implications: it was vital for Sibylla to marry someone who could rally external help to the kingdom, not someone from the local nobility. With the new King of France, Philip II, a minor, the chief hope of external aid was Baldwin's first cousin Henry II, who owed the Pope a penitential pilgrimage on account of the Thomas Becket affair. Guy was a vassal of Richard of Poitou and Henry II, and as a formerly rebellious vassal, it was in their interests to keep him overseas.
Guy and Sibylla were hastily married at Eastertide 1180, apparently preventing a coup by Raymond's faction to marry her to Amalric of Lusignan's father-in-law, Baldwin of Ibelin. By his marriage Guy also became count of Jaffa and Ascalon and bailli of Jerusalem. He and Sibylla had two daughters, Alice and Maria. Sibylla already had one child, a son from her first marriage to William of Montferrat.
An ambitious man, Guy convinced Baldwin IV to name him regent in early 1182. However, he and Raynald of Châtillon made provocations against Saladin during a two-year period of truce. But it was his military hesitance at the siege of Kerak which disillusioned the king with him. Throughout late 1183 and 1184 Baldwin IV tried to have his sister's marriage to Guy annulled, showing that Baldwin still held his sister with some favour. Baldwin IV had wanted a loyal brother-in-law, and was frustrated in Guy's hard-headedness and disobedience. Sibylla was held up in Ascalon, though perhaps not against her will. Unsuccessful in prying his sister and close heir away from Guy, the king and the Haute Cour altered the succession, placing Baldwin V, Sibylla's son from her first marriage, in precedence over Sibylla, and decreeing a process to choose the monarch afterwards between Sibylla and Isabella (whom Baldwin and the Haute Cour thus recognized as at least equally entitled to succession as Sibylla), though she was not herself excluded from the succession. Guy kept a low profile from 1183 until his wife became queen in 1186.
Guy's term as king is generally seen as a disaster; he was defeated by Saladin at the Battle of Hattin in 1187, and was imprisoned in Damascus as Saladin reconquered almost the entire kingdom. Upon his release, his claim to the kingship was ignored, and when Sibylla died at the Siege of Acre in 1191, he no longer had any legal right to it. Richard, now king of England and a leader of the Third Crusade, supported Guy's claim, but in the aftermath of the crusade Conrad of Montferrat had the support of the majority of nobles. Instead, Richard sold Guy the island of Cyprus, which he had conquered on his way to Acre. Guy thereby became the first Latin lord of Cyprus. Amalric succeeded Guy in Cyprus, and also became King of Jerusalem in 1198. Amalric was responsible for establishing the Roman Catholic Church on Cyprus.
The male line of the Lusignans in the Levant died out in 1267 with Hugh II of Cyprus, Amalric's great-grandson (the male line continued in France until 1308).
First house of Lusignan: kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus[edit]
- Guy, King of Jerusalem from 1186 to 1192 then of Cyprus until 1194
- Amalric II, King of Cyprus from 1194 to 1205 and of Jerusalem from 1198
- Hugh I (1205–1218), King of Cyprus only, as his descendants
- Henry I (1218–1253)
- Hugh II (1253–1267)
Second House of Lusignan[edit]
At that point, Hugh of Antioch, whose maternal grandfather had been Hugh I of Cyprus, a male heir of the original Lusignan dynasty, took the name Lusignan, thus founding the second House of Lusignan, and managed to succeed his deceased cousin as King of Cyprus. These "new" Lusignans, who were also descendants of Robert Guiscard, remained in control of Cyprus until 1489; in Jerusalem (or, more accurately, Acre), they ruled from 1268 until the fall of the city in 1291, after an interlude (1228–1268) during which the Hohenstaufen dynasty officially held the kingdom. After 1291 the Lusignans continued to claim the lost Jerusalem, and occasionally attempted to organize crusades to recapture territory on the mainland.
In 1300, the Lusignans, led by Amalric, Prince of Tyre entered into combined military operations with the Mongols under Ghazan to retake the Holy Land:
"That year [1300], a message came to Cyprus from Ghazan, king of the Tatars, saying that he would come during the winter, and that he wished that the Frank join him in Armenia (...) Amalric of Lusignan, Constable of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, arrived in November (...) and brought with him 300 knights, and as many or more of the Templars and Hospitallers (...) In February a great admiral of the Tatars, named Cotlesser, came to Antioch with 60,000 horsemen, and requested the visit of the king of Armenia, who came with Guy of Ibelin, Count of Jaffa, and John, lord of Giblet. And when they arrived, Cotelesse told them that Ghazan had met great trouble of wind and cold on his way. Cotlesse raided the land from Haleppo to La Chemelle, and returned to his country without doing more".
—Le Templier de Tyre, Chap 620–622[2]
Second house of Lusignan: kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus[edit]
- Hugh III (1267–1284)
- John I (1284–1285)
- Henry II (1285–1324)
- Amalric (1306–1310), usurper
- Hugh IV (1324–1359)
- Peter I (1359–1369)
- Peter II (1369–1382)
- James I (1382–1398)
- Janus (1398–1432)
- John II (1432–1458)
- Charlotte (1458–1464)
- James II (1464–1473)
- James III (1473–1474)
Kings of Armenian Cilicia[edit]
In the 13th century the Lusignans also intermarried with the royal families of the Principality of Antioch and the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. The Hethoumids ruled Cilicia until the murder of Leon IV in 1341, when his cousin Guy de Lusignan (who took the name of Constantine II of Armenia) was elected king. The Lusignan dynasty was of French origin, and already had a foothold in the area, the Island of Cyprus. There had always been close relations between the Lusignans of Cyprus and the Armenians. However, when the pro-Latin Lusignans took power, they tried to impose Catholicism and the European way of life. The Armenian leadership largely accepted this, but the peasantry opposed the changes. Eventually, this led way to civil strife.[3]
In the late 14th century, Cilicia was invaded by the Mameluks. The fall of Sis in April, 1375 put an end to the kingdom; its last King, Leon V, was granted safe passage and died in exile in Paris in 1393 after calling in vain for another Crusade. The title was claimed by his cousin, James I of Cyprus, uniting it with the titles of Cyprus and Jerusalem.[3] The last fully independent Armenian entity of the Middle Ages was thus decimated after three centuries of sovereignty and bloom.
Lusignan kings of Cilicia (Armenia)[edit]
- Constantine II (1342–1344)
- Constantine III (1344–1362)
- Constantine IV (1362–1373)
- Leo V (1374–1393)
- The Armenian kingdom was inherited by the Cypriot Lusignans in 1393.

I'm trying to send some HTTP commands using URLConnection and HttpURLConnection. I can send a GET request just fine but my POST request isn't working quite as I want it to. Here's my code:
What happens right now is that the code sends out a command that looks like "POST /COMMAND?Value1 HTTP/1.1" From this I get a "405 Method Not Allowed." When I send the same command and value using cURL the packet request looks like "POST COMMAND HTTP/1.1 (aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded)" and Value1 is on the interior of the packet. I've searched all over Stackoverflow (they've got a nice tutorial on URLConnection) but can't find a solution to this problem. Any ideas? I can provide more information but need prompting.

Eastern Barred BandicootThe endearing eastern barred bandicoot (Perameles gunni) is a small (640 grams) marsupial characterised by a slender, elongated head tapering to a pink nose and well whiskered muzzle. It has large, prominent ears. Its soft fur is greyish brown, while across the hindquarters are the characteristic pale bars or stripes that give the species its name. These easily distinguish it from the brown bandicoot, which lacks such strips. The belly, feet and short, thin tail are creamy white. Breeding and behaviourIn Tasmania, young are born between late May and December. During a single breeding season a female may produce 3-4 litters with a litter size of 1-4 young. Thus a female bandicoot can potentially give birth to as many as 16 young in one year! By way of comparison, rabbits give birth to between 11 and 25 young per year, depending on environmental conditions.Although the eastern barred bandicoot has a very high reproductive rate, mortality - particularly among juveniles - is extremely high. The causes of mortality are not well known, but predators and disease appear to be the main agents. The life-span of the eastern barred bandicoot is less than 3 years. Eastern barred bandicoots spend their day resting in nests. These are usually no more than a shallow depression in the ground with a dome of grass pulled over the top. Only one adult bandicoot occupies a nest, although young may share the nest with their mother for a week after they first leave the pouch. After dusk, they emerge and immediately begin foraging for food. Bandicoots are solitary animals and only mix with others when breeding. DietBarred bandicoots eat mainly invertebrates from the soil. They locate their food using their well developed sense of smell. Then they use their strong claws and pointed nose to dig small conical holes from which they extract food. Their favourite food items include root-eating grubs such as cockchafers and corbies. They also feed on beetles, earthworms, berries and fungi.StatusThe eastern barred bandicoot is considered threatened because the species is potentially at risk of becoming extinct. This may seem surprising to many Tasmanians, as barred bandicoots are still common in parts the state. However, the eastern barred bandicoot is now extinct in South Australia and 'critically endangered' in Victoria, where the population has been reduced to a mere 200 individuals. Further details on the species and its status can be found at our threatened species site.Before Europeans arrived in Tasmania, the eastern barred bandicoot mainly lived in the native grasslands and grassy woodlands of the Midlands. These habitats were the first to be cleared for agriculture and grazing. The eastern barred bandicoot has now largely disappeared from the Midlands region. A similar process of large-scale clearing (as well as predation by introduced foxes) was also responsible for the drastic decline of this species on mainland Australia. Widespread clearing of remnant native bush, and also the removal of ground cover including some weeds, can convert prime barred bandicoot habitat into a wasteland in which the species cannot survive. This occurred over much of the Midlands. In the absence of foxes, selective clearing in Tasmania's southeast and north has provided suitable agricultural habitats for the barred bandicoot to colonise. These areas of improved pasture interspersed with patches of native bush are now the stronghold of the species in Tasmania. Barred bandicoots also use a variety of weeds, including European gorse and blackberries, as nesting sites and as a refuge from predators. Cats and dogs kill bandicoots, and may cause significant mortality in some populations. Cats carry the disease Toxoplasmosis, which can be transmitted to eastern barred bandicoots and is often fatal. We can reduce the impact of our pets on wildlife by keeping pets indoors at night. This stops them hunting when barred bandicoots are out feeding in the open. Preventing your dog from roaming means it has less opportunity to flush bandicoots from their nests during the day. |

Posted: Jan 27, 2013 8:49 AM by Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A big fish story and the decision to take away a $910,000 prize from the boat crew that landed a monster marlin are going to get a full hearing in a North Carolina court.
The state's Supreme Court ruled Friday that a trial is needed to sort out whether one of the country's richest deep-sea fishing tournaments was right to strip first place from the crew of the charter boat Citation because the mate lacked a $15 North Carolina fishing license.
The Citation's crew landed a blue marlin weighing 883 pounds and measuring 14 feet in the 2010 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.
The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case less than three weeks ago and decided quickly the case shouldn't have been summarily dismissed by a judge.

Mission's Major Nod Downunder, Gladiator Still Global Ruler
Opening this past weekend in Australia, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 uncovered US$3.7 million in 3 days on 366 screens. The total is the highest weekend take of all time for foreign distributor UIP, which also released GLADIATOR and PHANTOM MENACE Down Under. The spy sensation also racked up $893,000 on 39 screens in Singapore and $488,000 on 38 screens in Malaysia. GLADIATOR still scored big receipts raising its international cume to $97 million. The period-piece pit-fight landed atop the German, British and Italian box office. The box office blood-fest grossed $3.32 million, $3.13 million and $672,500 in Germany, the U.K. and Italy respectively. However, the draw of Jackie Chans new comedy-adventure dropped DreamWorks darling to third in Hong Kong. The Maximus money-maker grossed an additional $209,908, bringing its Hong Kong cume to $678,091. MISSION TO MARS debuted in Japan and dethroned eight week champion THE GREEN MILE. The space epic grossed $796,023 on 32 screens. The Tom Hanks prison pic slipped to third behind live-action new comer ERIN BROCKOVICH. The Japanese jail sensation grossed $452,690, raising its Japanese cume to $22.07 million. On only 13 screens, Toeis PINCH RUNNER finished in 9th place in Japan. The top Japanese toon house produced flick made another $212,587, raising its home country cume to $555,634. STUART LITTLE and POKEMON still made an appearance on the German charts.
