Eight People Held Captive in Houston Home for Up to a Decade
There's another crazy story of captivity and this time it's centered around a house in Houston.
The details are still sketchy as police work to sort out the situation, but here's what we know so far:
There are varying reports about how many people are involved, with one story claiming four men between the ages of 50 and 80, along with three other women, have been held captive in a Houston home, some for up to 10 years. Authorities claim all victims suffer from mental illness.
Emergency personnel took three of the men to a hospital for treatment. A fourth man was also held at the home, but not taken to the hospital. Police say the women also lived at the house, but it's not clear if they lived in the converted garage or in another part of the house.
According to KTRK, police got a call just before 8:30 a.m. about several people held inside a garage. Officers arrived to find the front door nailed shut, but once inside the home they discovered what they described as a 'prison room' with trash everywhere. There were no beds or chairs in the room.
Houston Police Department Sergeant JW McCoy said:
One of them seemed to think he was picked up off the street and brought here. In exchange for beer and cigarettes and a place to stay, he had to turn over his Social Security check.
One man is in custody, but as of right now, no charges have been filed. A neighbor named Monica Brooker told the Houston Chronicle, "a mother, her son, daughter and granddaughter" lived at the home, but that she had also seen elderly men living at the house "for years."
As we learn more about this developing story, we'll fill you in.

And that girls fault he raped her. I mean, she went to his apartment right. That pretty much is a biding consent to sex and cannot be taken back....
Team still sucks. I am not shocked.
Yup, and they can make fast reads. Mett cannot make fast reads. That needs to change. It can change but it is not easy.
I am not terribly worried about the OL. There are three starters that have been in the league less than two years and everyone has been with the team...
Last season is a let down :(

How is the new season of My Little Pony?
Arrow is a homosexual fantasy show
Anyone here like Boardwalk Empire?
Regular rules do not apply to him.
Anyone see Fury?
I liked it. Some pretty ****ed up parts which is cool. It does a good job depicting life in a Sherman tank in the war in...
Brett Hundly just threw a brutal pick six. Maybe we should draft him.
USC QB just did a quick kick. Cool!
Auburn was losing to Sanford lol
@Finnegan2win be proud
Where do guys like Dilfer come off? I am tired of these ESPN guys who were bad players dissing young Titans quarterbacks. First Merrill Hoge now...
You can't expect a prodigy like Jameis to follow the same rules as everyone else.
But he takes too long to make his reads

Zak Downtown - Don't Blow My High
Artist: Zak Downtown
Producer: TNGHT
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 6 votes )
Zak Downtown's new Don't Blow My High might share a title with Kendrick's Section.80 standout, but that is about all they share. While K.Dot's DBMH is a kushed out, Bun B/Aaliyah sampled effort, Downtown's version is more Kendrick on crack; frenzied, energetic and perfect for putting in twerk at the club. Downtown spits over TNGHT's epic electronic cut Higher Ground, which boasts a thunderous synth eerily similar to Pharoahe Monch's Simon Says. The chaotic beat might scare off your average emcee, but Downtown and guest Murda Mook, of Ruff Ryders fam, aren't fazed, igniting the beat with their explosive, brash flows. This cut is not attached to a larger release, but Zak will soon be seen performing it live (you think its energetic now, imagine it live) at club gigs around the country. He is also planning on releasing more remixes as he crafts his latest EP, so be prepared for more face-melting cuts very soon.
Update: We have added the Gordo-directed visuals for Zak Downtown's Don't Blow My High single.

Ennominae is the largest subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae) with some 9,700 described species in 1,100 genera. They are usually fairly small moth species, though some (such as the Peppered Moth) grow considerably larger. This subfamily has a global distribution. It includes some species that are notorious defoliating pests.
The status of several tribes is debated. For example, the Boarmiini are sometimes massively expanded to include the Bistonini, Bupalini, Erannini, Gnophini, Melanolophini, Phaseliini and Theriini. The Nacophorini and perhaps the Campaeini might need to be merged with the Lithinini, and all three might warrant merging into the Ennomini. The group sometimes separated as Cassymini is tentatively included in the Abraxini here. The Alsophilinae, usually treated as a small subfamily in their own right, might simply be a specialized lineage of Boarmiini. [1]

A judge has rescheduled the sentencing date for a Nebraska woman who pleaded no contest to faking an anti-gay hate crime.
Charlie Rogers will now face sentencing on March 14 in Lancaster County Court. A judge issued an order to delay the sentencing.
Rogers, a former University of Nebraska basketball star, was charged after she claimed she was attacked by three men who carved anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach. Police later charged her with filing a false report, a misdemeanor.
Rogers maintains her innocence, but her attorney has said she didn't want a court fight and more of the publicity that her case has generated.
The 34-year-old Rogers could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine when sentenced.

WASHINGTON – North Dakotans, enriched by an oil boom, stepped up their spending at triple the national pace in the three years after the recession. In Nevada, hit hard by the housing bust, consumers barely increased their spending.
Americans spend the most per person on housing in Washington, D.C., and the least in West Virginia.
Those and other figures emerged Thursday in an annual report from the government that reveals consumer spending on a state-by-state basis from 1997 through 2012. The numbers point to substantial shifts in the economy since the recession, which began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009.
Spending jumped 28 percent in North Dakota, the largest gain nationwide, from 2009 through 2012. It surged nearly 16 percent in Oklahoma. The next-largest increases were in South Dakota, Texas and West Virginia.
Changes in spending patterns in North Dakota have been particularly dramatic. Its pre-recession per capita spending in 2007 was $32,780, 24th among states. By 2012, North Dakota's per capita spending soared to $44,029, fourth-highest nationwide (figures not adjusted for inflation).
North Dakota has boomed in large part because of the breakthrough drilling technique known as "fracking," which has unlocked vast oil and gas reserves. Per-person income rose 37.2 percent, according to a separate report, by far the most for any state. North Dakota's unemployment rate was a barely visible 2.7 percent in June, the lowest in the nation.
By contrast, spending eked out a scant 3.5 percent increase in Nevada, the weakest for any state and far below the 10.7 percent national average. Arizona's 6.2 percent increase was next-weakest, followed by Hawaii's, Florida's and Utah's.
When the housing bust struck in 2006, home values plummeted in Nevada, Arizona and Florida. The persistently weak consumer spending in those states underscores the lingering damage the housing bust inflicted on their economies.
Nevada and Arizona also received the smallest income gains in the first three years after the recession. Salaries and other income in Nevada rose just 3.8 percent and in Arizona, 6.7 percent. The national average was 11.1 percent.
Nevada's unemployment rate was 7.7 percent in June, the third-highest. Arizona's was 6.9 percent, 10th highest.
Government figures show that state-by-state spending patterns were radically different before the recession. In the three years before the downturn, for example, spending in Arizona jumped 21.2 percent, fourth-highest in the nation.
Spending rose the most in Wyoming, where it surged 24.5 percent, followed by Louisiana and Hawaii.
The report shows wide spending disparities elsewhere in the country. Per-person spending in 2012 was highest in Washington, D.C., at $59,423, followed by Massachusetts at $47,308. The next-highest per-person spending totals were in Connecticut, North Dakota and New Jersey.
Spending was lowest that year in Mississippi at $27,406. Arkansas was second-lowest at $28,366.
The size of the disparities has changed little in the past decade.
The report includes figures for specific spending categories; the data tend to coincide with regional cost-of-living differences. For example, consumers in Alaska, where food costs are typically high, spent the most on groceries, laying out $3,852 in 2012, followed by Vermont at $3,622, followed by New Hampshire, $3,616, and Hawaii, $3,615.

Digging a bit deeper and looking beyond the monster displays at the Builders' Show, we're looking forward to visiting these 4 booths that might be small on space but deliver big on product.
If these architectural panels are as beautiful in person as on their website, we're sold!
We're hoping they have a demo setup. Would love to see a circular saw rip some stuff up at IBS 2010.

How to handle increasing support requests
Over the last couple of months Codeship grew tremendously. We run more builds and deployments for a growing number of companies. We are always striving to make the setup on the Codeship a success for everyone, so thoroughly answering all support requests is really important for us. With the aforementioned growth our time invested into support increased a lot.
On the one hand we want to provide easy accessible information through our documentation and in app help and on the other hand it lets us focus more on specific support requests and on improving the product.
Automated messages for common errors
One important improvement was our recent automated error messages feature. We often see typical error messages in the log and in our support requests. For these error messages we show you a support message. This helps all of our users get a quick feedback and therefore doesn't require additional support from us.
For example in the following image you can see an error message that a ruby gem was potentially removed from rubygems. This immediately tells you what the problem is.
We've added several auto-detections of common error messages and will be adding more in the future.
But this was only a first step. We needed to overhaul our docs. Not just to bring in more and better documentation, but also to have a better workflow in place to build on them.
Navigating through the Documentation
On the left side you can see all the different support categories.
You can use the tags we add to every article to jump to other relevant articles or search through the documentation on the top search bar.
You can get an overview on all the languages, databases or other technologies we support. Of course we added some information on our setup, general system, frequently asked questions and specific deployment guides.
We implemented our docs as static pages with Middleman and host them on Amazon S3. We will publish a blog post soon that will go into the details of the technology and workflow for our docs.
Our docs are open source on our Github repository. Let us know if you think we can improve our documentation, find errors in them or have general tips. We're always eager for feedback and of course also for pull requests.
Have a look at our new documentation here.
After focusing on our product and technology for a while we are now putting a lot more of our time into usability and general ease of use. Great support and an easy and quick way to get the information you truly need are an important part of this. Now that we have the technology in place to move quickly with our docs we will put a lot of time into this, so Codeship becomes even easier to use and simpler to understand. The new documentation will help you get the relevant information you need as quickly as possible.
Ship long and prosper!

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

I seriously love this stuff. My serum consists of 1 tbsp vitamin c crystals from trader joes, 9 tbsp of distilled water and a few drops of vitamin e oil. I noticed a difference in my skin after a few uses. I use this after cleansing my face and before the moisturizer.I use a cotton ball to apply it all over and then let it dry before moisturizing. Ive been using it for about 2 months now and my face is brighter and my old acne scars are disappearing. Ive had trouble with acne on my jaw line and neck recently and couldn't figure our the cause or how to get rid of it. Using this has kept this problem under control.
The only minor issue i can think of is that you have to make the serum weekly. I keep it in the fridge but if you keep it out in the light and use the same solution for too long it can become ineffective. You have to be careful not to add too much vitamin c because it can burn your skin.
Overall its a great product and can be made for a great price, I believe the products costed me about 15 dollars and will last me a very very long time.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got a jar of powdered vitamin C from Whole Foods and tried various ways to use it ( teaspoon about quart water in spray bottle; adding to cucumber toner (my favorite is by AnnWebb that you can get at either Whole Foods or www.skinbyannwebb.com), rose water, or other toners I had around). A spritz when it's hot outside did wonders to refresh my skin. Plus, it really added a glow to my skin and got rid of acne. My DH, who get bad cystic acne, stopped suffering from those when I made him use it for a few weeks.
Here the bad part, however: I had to stop using it, because the stuff oxidized and stained my clothes sooooo badly! I didn't notice them at first - but after a few washes and dry cleaning, I noticed 50% of our clothes began to get that icky brown ring around the collar, and I thought what the h***!! I shower daily, twice daily in fact!! I finally deduced it had to be the vitamin C serum. Ugh! So, no more homemade serum; I will stick to the serum by Ann Webb (expensive but stable and doesn't stain). Too bad, because this really did work miracles on my skin.
I used to make my own vitamin c serum but I found that my own formulations weren't very stable so it wasn't worth the effort. It's a lot easier to just buy one that is professionally formulated. I get one on Amazon that is really nice and has a stable form of vitamin c. Plus it is inexpensive but just as good as the expensive brands. This is the one I like:

I am that girl. The chronic doubter who considers all reviews with skepticism. But I have been using a homemade Vit C solution for 2 months and OMG, it has worked some miracles. I have had long standing milia on nose and forehead finally disappear in . Each kind of turned reddish, flaked for a few days then healed over. To say I was amazed is an understatement. I cant wait now to see how much more my skin can improve over the next months. I use a mix of finely milled Natural Factors Ascorbic acid ( use my Magic Bullet to pulverize the crystals) water and glycerin.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ok, so I have fair skin and rosacea on my cheeks as well as dry dehydrated skin. Although I have tried a couple of pre made vitamin c serums etc... I always go back to my home made.
I use a tsp of vitamin powder (from Whole Foods) then add a tbsp of distilled water then mix with a plastic spoon. I apply to my face with a cotton ball and wait ten minutes before I add any creams/serums.
I use it under my Dr. Jart Cermidin lotion then I put on the Dr. Jart ceramdin cream.
So far I really like my homemade vitamin C routine. My skin looks more radiant and it seems to make my pores seem smaller(although I am told my pores are really small anyway).
I would recommend it for daily use. I only use this at night.
10 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet, because it's definitely achieved "staple" status. As with most other skincare items it needs time to make it to HG status, but it's definitely getting there.
I heard about this on MUA, of course, and had to see what it was all about. I made a trip to my local organic foods/natural beauty store and picked up a big bottle of ascorbic acid powder, with no added ingredients or preservatives. I don't recall how expensive it was, but it was under 10 bucks for a big bottle. Very inexpensive. I looked at recipes online and settled on a fairly common recipe that included water, glycerin, and 10% of the powder. I stored it in a bottle and used it for a week or so.
I loved the results. It just gives me that "glow" back, even when I've been staying up way too late getting school deadlines met and eating junk food. It minimizes the folds (fine lines? they aren't quite that yet) I have in my mouth area and reduces my hyperpigmentation! Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Not as well as my 10% AHA, but it's much less irritating that using an AHA every night.
I found that it was more convenient for me to make a recipe that didn't include glycerin, for two reasons. First, glycerin and my skin have just a so-so relationship, and secondly, because glycerin tends to slow down the dissolving process. This is from my own personal experience, of course. I don't have the chemical knowledge to really say for sure.
What I've found really works for me is once a morning (or night, since my mornings tend to be chaotic) I'll take 1/8 tsp. of powder and mix it with 1 tsp. of warm(ish) water in a little plastic cough medicine container. This is the perfect size to mix the two ingredients together while I do other steps in my morning or night routine, such as brushing my teeth or washing my face. The warmer water seems to help it dissolve faster. This ends up being more time-efficient than sanitizing a dropper bottle, along with making sure my serum doesn't go bad.
I admit I've gotten lazy with this part of my skincare and cannot say the long-term effects, since my usage of it is inconsistent. I do believe that over time my skin will age much slower in general. I'm only 16, but I believe this can benefit all sorts of skin types. I'll keep updated with my progress with this. Overall, 5 stars for the low cost and effectiveness of this simple, easy-to-make product.

Update: I have stopped using this anymore because I have found a much better alternative.
It is RICE WATER!!!! Yes, you heard it right. I used rice water as my hair conditioner, face mask, face toner and apply it liberally all over my body. Commercial face toner seem to dry my skin no matter how much oil is applied. Out it goes and in comes the rice water and it has cleared my skin and making it softer and diminishes my blemishes. Another benefit of using rice water is that you can apply it around your delicate eye area without reservation.
Please please try it.... What has you got to lose? It cost next to nothing and it is all natural.
I used to swear by this because it was so cost effective and made my face feel good but now that I have a little more money, I much rather would get a high quality product. Yes you may be putting vitamin c on your face but the carrier systems aren't the same as on the high quality products so you don't absorb as much.
I add a tsp of vit c to a tsp of aloe vera and a drop of vit E ... I then put it on my face about an hour before bedtime and wash off right before I lay down for the night. I've found that if I sleep with it on, it burns certain areas of my face (around the nose and under the eyes) and causes itching, redness and flaking. ouch! I store what's left in an amber colored jar in the fridge as it doesn't last long. If it turns yellow in your container, throw it out and make fresh!

Even with all of the other things I have ever used (and loved) on my skin, this is by far the best.
I use a DIY recipe based off of this one: http://www.skincaretalk.com/t/7596/diy-vit-c-serum-recipes-and-ingredient-sources
But I've changed my own formulation to better handle my skin (rosacea (so no witch hazel), dry). My recipe is as follows:
1 tsp L-Ascorbic Acid
1 tsp Emu Oil
3 tsp Rosewater with Glycerin (Heritage brand)
1/2 tsp Hyaluronic Acid
1/4 tsp Ferulic Acid
1/4 tsp Vitamin E Oil
1/4 tsp ice cold Vodka
This makes it 15% Vitamin C, which is more powerful than it sounds.
I wouldn't say this melts away any imperfections so much as it seems to burn them away. I tend to sleep curled up in a ball, so I have some premature wrinkles on my neck. When I use my Vitamin C Serum on them, they turn red, get a bit flakey...and then about a week later, are gone. I imagine if I kept using this consistently, they wouldn't come back at all, but I keep attempting to be lazy and find something already put together so I wouldn't have to keep remaking my own every two weeks (which is how long it lasts, since I don't use any extra preservatives in it)...but I seriously haven't found anything that works better. I even prefer the results from using this serum over my experience with Retin-A...little to no flakies, and noticeable results in less time. This can also be used by women who are pregnant, whereas Retin-A cannot. (Now this product isn't the same as Retin-A, but I'm comparing it based on it's collagen boosting qualities and ability to help thicken skin)
An added benefit from using this formula (with ferulic acid) is that it's supposed to help protect your skin from the sun (along with sunscreen, of course, this is NOT a sunscreen replacement!). I can't say one way or another if it really does this, based on my own experience, but it really can't hurt. I would definitely recommend using a Vitamin C Serum to anyone and everyone...if this recipe hurts your skin, try using a lower percentage of Vitamin C and working your way up.

Israel says to close cash tap if Palestinians seek UN statehood
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel will stop collecting tax revenues for the Palestinian Authority and not hand over any money if President Mahmoud Abbas continues to seek observer state membership of the United Nations, Israel's finance minister said on Saturday.
"If the Palestinians continue to advance their unilateral move they should not expect bilateral cooperation. We will not collect their taxes for them and we will not transfer their tax revenues," Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said.
On Wednesday, the Western-backed Palestinian Authority circulated a draft resolution to U.N. member states that calls for upgrading its U.N. status to that of observer state, despite objections by the United States and Israel.
"It cannot be that they hit us unilaterally and then expect bilateral cooperation with us on economic matters," Steinitz, a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told a town hall meeting in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba.
Interim peace deals task Israel with collecting taxes and customs duties on the Palestinian Authority's behalf amounting to around $100 million a month, on goods imported into the Palestinian territories.
Israel has previously frozen payments to the Palestinian government during times of heightened security and diplomatic tensions, provoking strong international criticism.
The Palestinians are currently considered an observer "entity" at the United Nations. Upgrading them to a non-member state, similar to the Vatican's U.N. status, would implicitly recognise Palestinian statehood.
It could also grant them access to bodies such as the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where they could file complaints against Israel.
The status upgrade seems certain to win approval in any vote in the General Assembly, which is composed mostly of post-colonial states historically sympathetic to the Palestinians.
Palestinian diplomats also are courting European countries to further burnish their case.
Israel and the United States oppose the move, saying Palestinian statehood must be achieved by negotiation. They have called on Abbas to return to peace talks that collapsed in 2010 over Israeli settlement construction in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinians seek to establish a state in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip - which is controlled by the Islamist Hamas group who are bitter rivals of the Palestinian Authority - and want East Jerusalem as its capital.
In July, Israel and the Palestinian Authority agreed on a revamp of revenue collection to try to help relieve the Palestinian government's deepening debt crisis.
The aid-dependent Palestinian economy in the West Bank faces financial crisis due to a drop in aid from Western backers and wealthy Gulf states, as well as Israeli restrictions on trade. (Writing by Ori Lewis)

November 28, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) -- "Early show" host Harry Smith has taken a sick day from work, telling viewers he thinks he has swine flu.
In an interview live from his New York City apartment Monday, Smith told CBS viewers he started feeling achy and feverish over the weekend after a 25-mile bike ride in the rain and dancing all night at a birthday party.
"Early Show" medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton says Smith could be right because his symptoms are associated with swine flu. She praised him for staying home and out of circulation.
Ashton says most swine flu cases are mild. She predicted Smith will be back on the "Early Show" couch in a couple of days.
Symptoms of swine flu can include fever, cough, congestion, aches, chills, diarrhea and vomiting.

CHINA: Sinopec boss calls for tighter emissions standards
By Tony Lewis | 4 February 2013
China needs to tighten its emission standards, Fu Chengyu, chairman of Sinopec, the China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, told the National Business Daily, if it is to reduce the smog that blankets many cities.
His call follows a report by the Ministry of Environmental Protection that revealed that smog covers 1.43m square km of China's skies.
The problem is that Chinese petrol contains 15 times the amount of sulphur found in European countries. But the Sinopec chairman suggested that oil refining companies should not be held directly responsible. Tighter emissions standards would be a better way to reduce the smog, he said. The cost to refineries of reducing the sulphur content is estimated by analysts at around US$7.8bn.
Sinopec said that the problem is that although the recent Fifth National Emission Standards are on a par with Europe with sulphur content at 10 ppm, they are not implemented throughout the country. Most of China still uses the Third National Emission Standards, which restrict the amount of sulphur in fuel to 150 ppm.
The Fifth National Standard has been officially implemented in Beijing with sales and registration of automobiles that don't meet the standards to be completely halted by March.
Some analysts have suggested that curbs on vehicle use in China could increase due to rising concern over the health impact of poor air quality in big cities.

Been up most of the nite pouring over 120 pages of Quaker monthly meeting minutes a researcher from the Edmund Stanley Library at Wichita Kansas was kind enough to copy for me. I'm hoping someone in Kay County OK will be familiar enough with the Kaw Tribe to help me find what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for the names of the children at the Quaker Mission to the Kaw at Council Grove Kansas. Those monthly minutes do mention the mission but only in reference to the spiritual well being of the people running the mission. Nothing about the Indians or orphans at the mission.
The researcher has tried to help but doesn't know where to look.
Several other Quaker libraries have told me the records are in Wichita but we don't know which records contain the information.
It feels like we're looking for a needle in a hay stack.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of records would contain information regarding the day to day operations of the Quaker Mission to the Kaw in KANSAS? or where a list of the orphans could be? The time fram we're looking at is 1860 -1867 BEFORE removal to Oklahoma. I have already checked the "Kaw Indian Census and Allotments" by Bradford Koplowitz - it is too late in time.
I would really appreciate any ideas offered.

It does a good job of presenting both Zelda-style adventuring and concentrated sandbox gameplay with a Tolkien flavor, combining them into a focused Middle Earth adventure that serves as an excellent Lord of the Rings primer and an expanded highlights reel of the films.
Despite some flaws, Aragorn's Quest is an engaging adventure across a well-realized version of Middle-earth.
Jan 3, 2011This is one of those titles which catch a franchise and edulcorate it. It is far from being a perfect game, because it have several errors in the control and ultimately is too easy.
Not even new voiceovers from Sean Astin (Sam) and John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) can salvage this thoroughly regrettable effort. [Nov 2010, p.88]
Jan 11, 2011Another LOTR disappointing production. Bad graphics and low accurate motion control make it sadly boring to play. Better when shared with a friend, yet not worth the money.
The game's biggest flaw is its story, which is ironic due to the fact that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is all about its story.

You love your amp and you use it all the time so you want to keep it sounding great. With a simple replacement of an amp speaker, you can customize and transform your well-loved amp into peak form. This kind of tweak can easily make your guitar tone sound even more brilliant. When you're looking at picking up a replacement speaker you will first have to consider voltage. The power of your speaker has to match the wattage of your amplifier. 60W speaker and a 60W amp will pair perfectly for instance. Impedance is the other consideration. If your amp has a rating of 4 ohms, you cannot pair it with a speaker that has a rating of any less than that. Keeping this in mind will ensure your install is a success. More importantly than that though, is finding a tone you love. Once you're ready to truly customize the way you project your sound, finding an enhanced speaker for your amp is a great way to truly create an original tone. If you're after a more vintage tone, options like the Celestion G12M-65 features a custom ceramic magnet that projects a warm bluesy vibe while the Jensen MOD15-120 touts having a heavier feel. If you're serious about creating a certain sound, there is a speaker that can make that happen. If you're replacing cabinet speakers you can easily find a selection that includes all four in one. Options like the Celestion Blues/Rock or Metal/Hard Rock combos include four by twelve speakers that are created to echo what you play in perfect harmony. Even if you don't have a large cabinet, speaker sets a great way to stock up or install into your collection of amps. Picking up a replacement speaker is an easy way to alter your guitar's tone without ever touching the guitar itself. Finding one that will give you the sound you want will encourage more performances to get you practicing even more than you already do.
