Guy Brewer was born on Wednesday, January 27th, 1904 . Guy is a member of the Brewer Family. GUY 's last known place of residence was 11433 (Jamaica, Queens County, New York) .
The United States Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is often one of the main starting points for online free genealogy research. The SSDI is used by the Social Security Administration for coordinating benefits. The Social Security Act was signed in 1935, and the Social Security Board started building the infrastructure for distributing benefits. Registration began in 1936 and 30 million individuals were registered and cards distributed by 1937. These cards were distributed through employers, who had employees fill out the information, and then returned the cards to the government. The SSDI provides the names of over 70 million individuals whose deaths have been reported to the Social Security Administration. The information that you will find in the SSDI includes: an individual's Social Security Number, birth date, death date, where the last benefit was sent, and the original application state. The SSDI can be a great starting point for your ancestry search.

KCTS 9 Cooks 15 Delicious Years
Hello: Does anyone have the recipe for the Rigatoni Bolognese from Scott's Bar and Grill in Edmonds? Is it included in one of the KCTS cookbooks? Thanks so much!
Does anyone have the recipe for the Rose Water Dessert - Ferni - from Kabul Restaurant. Apparently that recipe was available here at one time, but no longer. The owner at Kabul recently told me to look here for the recipe, but alas, i cannot track it down. Is there some archive or something that i'm missing for past recipes? Thanks.
Yes, it's from an old Chef's special, and if Chef Wali told you to get it from us, he was talking about the cookbook, which is Chefs 2004. Never was posted online. Restaurants donate their recipes for us to use as a fundraiser, and fundraise we must.
We'd be happy to make a deal…call our donor services office at 800-937-5287.

CES is always packed full of a lot of crap and a lot of cool stuff. There's always a couple of things that stick out on both ends of the spectrum.
Atop the "cool" category this year was Clixon's VCC-400 Virtual Console Connection adapter. In short, VCC-400 works by plugging in a USB 2.0 adapter into one computer, then connecting a USB cable to the adapter on one end, and to another computer on the other end. Then, the mouse and keyboard from either computer can control the other.
It also works between Mac and PC. You can use the PC's keyboard and mouse to control the Mac. When you move the mouse it will move between the two computer screens just like you do between two monitors on a single computer.
Better yet, you can drag and drop, or copy and paste, between computers. The drag and drop feature doesn't work cross-platform (at least the demo didn't); however, you can still copy and paste files and other clipboard contents between PC and Mac computers.
If ever the term "magic" were warranted to describe a product, this is it.
VCC supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X 10.4-10.6 and Linux. The Clixon rep I spoke with said the software would probably retail for about $70. The downside? Clixon doesn't have a US distributor for the device just yet.
As someone who uses multiple Macs and PCs on a daily basis (I have 2 keyboards and mice on my desktop), I would shell out $70 in a heartbeat for this product. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a US distributor gets on board with Clixon sooner rather than later.

MOUNT WASHINGTON — Most students can't say that Batman has made a special guest appearance in their classroom to teach a creative writing lesson.
But Mount Washington Middle School sixth graders Lee Hays and Brandon Prater can.
Actually it was MWMS teacher Jeremy Belcher dressed up as Gotham City's hero Tuesday in efforts to engage two of his most unique students in a creative writing process during which he, Hays and Prater wrote a rough draft about a super hero.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Bullitt Central Lady Cougars stayed hot from the outside on Wednesday and won for the fourth time in ten days Wednesday as they rolled past Atherton 81-49.
In the second game on Wednesday, the Bullitt Central Cougars had their biggest offensive explosion of the season and rode that to an 85-78 victory despite the Rebels getting 43 points from Dwayne Gordon.
The two games were make-up contests for games lost back on Jan. 9 because of snow.
Lady Cougars Streaking
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The decision over who has the right to impose fire taxes for residents of Shepherdsville who overlap into pre-existing taxing districts isn't settled yet.
The 1999 lawsuit remains in Bullitt Circuit Court as attorneys could take the differences to formal mediation.
Last Monday, Circuit Judge Rodney Burress set a trial date of March 16.
Last May, Burress ruled that Shepherdsville had a regular fire department, which had been a point of contention for the past decade.
An overnight snow led to hazardous driving conditions throughout Bullitt County Tuesday morning, with more potential winter weather expected this week.
Bullitt County Dispatch reported several vehicle accidents relating to icy road conditions.
The National Weather Service in Louisville issued a winter weather advisory through noon Tuesday.
The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a winter weather advisory for Bullitt County from 7 p.m. Friday evening through 1 p.m. Saturday.
Rain will begin to change to snow across north central and east central Kentucky late Friday afternoon.
Roads will begin to be impacted as temperatures fall below the freezing mark. Snow will begin to impact roads by midnight in south central Kentucky, causing slick or hazardous conditions.
Snowfall amounts could range from 1 to 4 inches.
The Jan. 28 MAPP (Mobilizing Action Through Planning and Partnerships) meeting has been cancelled.
Bullitt County Health Department education coordinator Cynthia Brown said the meeting was postponed due to pending winter weather.
An alternate day has not yet been announced. The meeting will be rescheduled.
For more information call the health department, 955-5355 or go to www.bullittcountyhealthdept.com.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Children within the Bullitt County court system will have a better holiday season thanks to First Federal Savings Bank.
First Federal hosted angel trees at their three Bullitt County locations this season.
Donated items were intended for the families of 45 children being assisted by the Bullitt County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program.
CASA volunteers represent children in court, representing each child's best interests.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Looking for a way to get to Jefferson County but don't have transportation?
Need to get to the airport but don't necessarily want to drive your car and pay parking all week during your trip?
There might be a solution for some of your transportation concerns.
A public hearing will be held on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. at Paroqyet Springs Conference Centre.
(The hearing was originally set for Jan. 12; however, a public notice was omitted by The Pioneer News and the hearing has been rescheduled.)
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Trailing by three points with just 1:15 remaining in the highlight game of the 2010 Bullitt County Challenge, Bullitt Central head coach Bryan Bates had just one option - call for a five-point play.
The coach didn't exactly draw it up that way of course. But the rare play was the turning point on Saturday as the Cougars rallied with the final eight points of the game to beat the Lady Hawks 53-47.

Farmers and ranchers are not the only workers in occupations devoted to agricultural pursuits.
Agricultural scientists may advise farmers and farm managers about the best ways to control weeds, apply pesticides, conserve water, or prevent soil erosion. They might also help farmers and ranchers determine the quantity and mix of nutrients needed in animal feed to produce healthier cattle and leaner meat, for example. The employment of these scientists is expected to grow 9 percent between 2002 and 2012.
Farm managers perform many of the same functions as farmers, but instead of owning or leasing a farm, they manage one for somebody else. Their job is mainly supervisory. Farm managers hire the farmworkers, contract for the services of specialists in weed control or pesticide application, perform payroll duties, and generally ensure that the farm runs efficiently. Employment of farm managers is projected to grow 5 percent between 2002 and 2012.
Other farm-related occupations are in agricultural sales and custom harvesting. Agricultural sales, which involves selling farm-related products, requires knowledge of agriculture, farming, and ranching practices. Custom harvesting is a service offered by companies to farmers who either cannot afford or choose not to buy expensive harvesting equipment, such as a combine.
These data are from the Employment Projections program. For more information, see "Farming in the 21st century" by Arlene Dohm, Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Spring 2005.

Within the last few years awareness has grown regarding the business of private prisons, particularly private corrections, and its many flaws. More recently, attention has been paid to the now largest division of the private prison industry: immigration detention. In 2011, both Amnesty International and PBS's Frontline brought light to the booming business of immigration detention.
The Sentencing Project's 2012 report Dollars and Detainees: The Growth of For-Profit Detention reveals shocking statistics on the number of immigration detainees in private detention centers, including that the total private detainee population increased by 259% between 2002 and 2010. While the number of privately held inmates has decreased due to state budget crises and policy changes, the number of federal detainees under the jurisdiction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) has increased as a result of "stepped up efforts to find, incarcerate, and deport people who violate immigration laws." "There are indications that federal detention will remain a major market for private companies."
Immigration detainees differ from prisoners because they are detained while waiting to have their case decided in court as opposed to serving a sentence for conviction of a crime. Despite the differing reason for imprisonment, immigration detainees will likely face deplorable conditions, abusive treatment, and other human rights violations. In 2009, the New York Times reported on multiple deaths in a detention facility in Eloy, Arizona owned by one of the largest private prison companies, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA).

Cormorant fishing is a dying art. For thousands of years fishermen used trained cormorants to fish the rivers and lakes of China. The fishermen would tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat, which effectively prevented the birds from swallowing larger fish while still allowing them to swallow smaller ones. When a cormorant caught a fish, the fisherman would bring the bird back to the boat and have it spit it up the fish onto the bamboo deck.
There aren't many practicing cormorant fisherman left these days, but a few, such as the Huang brothers, still make a decent living serving the tourism industry by posing for memorable travel shots like this. Huang Yuechuang first began working with photographers back in the 70's!

UBS news
UBS consumption indicator: Consumer sentiment brightens somewhat in December
The UBS consumption indicator rose again in December. The higher number of hotel stays by Swiss residents drove the increase.
Zurich/Basel, January 30, 2013 – The UBS consumption indicator rose to 1.34 points in December from 1.23. The increase is mostly due to a greater number of hotel stays by Swiss residents. No improvement was reported in the retail industry, where business conditions still stagnate at a low level.
After an extended period, a slight positive trend can at last be seen in the demand for hotel stays by Swiss residents. Since the appreciation of the franc in 2008, the number of hotel stays by Swiss residents declined by just under 2% in Switzerland. The number of hotel stays by Swiss residents has risen again slightly since fall of last year. This nurtures the hope that the drop in demand for hotel stays by Swiss nationals has bottomed out and may now rise again.
The strong franc has made vacation abroad less expensive. For this reason the Swiss are enjoying their vacations more frequently abroad. Measured in Swiss francs, expenditures by Swiss tourists abroad have remained more or less constant since 2008, but due to the appreciation of the franc in recent years, the Swiss have been able to afford more for their money abroad. The stagnating hotel stays in Switzerland thus in no way indicate a decline in the appeal of travel for Swiss nationals.
However, many Swiss appear not to want to miss their winter vacation at home. The domestic demand for hotel stays has remained constant in the winter season since 2008. Only in the summer do the Swiss appear to favor less expensive vacation destinations abroad. Therefore, the drop in the domestic demand for hotel stays is solely caused by a decline during the summer months.
As already seen during the whole of 2012, new car registrations have had a supportive impact on the UBS consumption indicator. A total of around 328,000 new registrations were counted in 2012. After the record year 1989 with 335,000 new registrations, 2012 was thus the second-best year ever measured for new car registrations. Swiss car sales were supported by automobile prices some 15% lower compared to two years ago. The appreciation of the franc made automobile imports into Switzerland cheaper, and also put the prices of the domestic automobile providers under pressure.
How the UBS Consumption Indicator is calculated
The UBS Consumption Indicator signals private consumption trends in Switzerland with a lead time of about three months on the official figures. At roughly 60%, private consumption is by far the most important component of Swiss GDP. UBS calculates this leading indicator from five consumer-related parameters: new car registrations, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight hotel stays by Swiss residents, the consumer sentiment index, and credit card transactions made via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. With the exception of the consumer sentiment index, all of this data is available monthly.

Sugar-water hemolysis test
The sugar-water hemolysis test is a blood test to detect fragile red blood cells by testing their ability to withstand swelling in a low-salt solution.
Alternative Names
Sucrose hemolysis test
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation needed for this test.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) or hemolytic anemia of unknown cause. PNH red blood cells are very likely to be harmed by the body's complement system. The complement system is a group of proteins that move freely through the bloodstream. The proteins work with the immune system.
Normal Results
- Negative: less than 5% red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis)
- Positive: more than 10% hemolysis
A negative test does not rule out PNH. False-negative results may occur if the fluid part of blood (serum) lacks complement.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemias and leukemia may give false positive result
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Investors are turning to corporate bonds and moving down the ratings spectrum to boost portfolios. This may be part of a strategic shift, but are they weighing credit risk properly?
For fund managers who wish to outperform the index,
corporate bonds have become an essential part of any portfolio
now that spread tightening has run its course among large
sovereigns and blue-chips. Investors are taking on greater risk
as they reach further down the ratings spectrum. So far, funds
are largely undeterred from venturing into junk territory in a
region that boasts strong fundamentals, but the threats posed
by broader problems in Europe and the US are starting to cause
some pushback.
"Our outperformance versus the index really comes down to
our focus on corporate credit in emerging markets," says David
Robbins, manager of the TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund, which
had the highest return among EM debt funds in the three years
to May 31, according to Lipper data.

Chocolate has fascinated people for thousands of years.
The ancient Aztecs and Mayans believed that cocoa beans had "magical and even divine properties suitable for use in the most sacred rituals of birth, marriage and death," according to Smithsonian Magazine.
And while drinks made from ground and roasted cocoa beans were too bitter for the early Spanish explorers, Europeans soon came up with the idea of mixing cocoa with sugar and milk to create the sweet drinks and other confections that have converted millions of people across the globe into chocoholics.
America's family owned and operated campgrounds, for their part, are increasingly coming up with their own ways to celebrate everyone's insatiable chocolate cravings with chocolate-themed weekends that involve everything from chocolate chip cookie, chocolate pie or chocolate pudding eating contests to tug of war games with slippery ropes that are doused in chocolate. Growing numbers of campgrounds even offer chocolate Slip N Slides.
"I think everybody has a sweet tooth in them somewhere," said Vicki Cole, who co-owns the Shelby Mansfield KOA in Shelby, Ohio with her husband, Garry. Their park's chocolate themed activities are scheduled for June 29 and include a chocolate chip cookie eating contest; a chocolate Slip N Slide; a Hershey's kiss hunt; and a chocolate milk chug a lug.
Amy Ahlgren, who manages the Pride of America Camping Resort in Pardeeville, Wis., said her park's chocolate Slip N Slide event on the weekend of June 7 - 9 draws as many adult participants as it does children. "It's one of our most popular events," she said, adding that her park uses big barrels filled with chocolate syrup for its chocolate Slip N Slide games.
"People get so covered in chocolate syrup that we close our bathrooms and the swimming pool and ask everyone to go wash off in the lake," she said.
Pride of America also has an ice cream sundae building contest with all of the fixings as part of its chocolate themed activities. "There are two troughs and the first trough to be finished wins," Ahlgren said, adding, "The best part is they get to eat the ice cream."
At Vista Royalle Campground in Bancroft, Wis., the chocolate-themed weeks are so popular the campground offers two of them, the first on June 7 - 9 and the second from June 22 - 24. Activities include a chocolate eating contest and a flashlight Tootsie Roll hunt.
The same holds true for the Hayward KOA in Hayward, Wis., which has two chocolate themed weekends on June 21 and Aug. 2. Events include a chocolate pudding eating contest; a chocolate Slip N Slide; and an adults only chocolate pool party.
Here's a sampling of chocolate themed weekends taking place at other campgrounds across the country:

Michael Moynihan castigates Lonely Planet and Rough Guides for excusing the crimes of dictatorships:
[I]t's useful to begin by skimming their guidebooks for undemocratic countries like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
There's a formula to them: a pro forma acknowledgment of a lack of democracy and freedom followed by exercises in moral equivalence, various contorted attempts to contextualize authoritarianism or atrocities, and scorching attacks on the U.S. foreign policy that precipitated these defensive and desperate actions. Throughout, there is the consistent refrain that economic backwardness should be viewed as cultural authenticity, not to mention an admirable rejection of globalization and American hegemony. The hotel recommendations might be useful, but the guidebooks are clotted with historical revisionism, factual errors, and a toxic combination of Orientalism and pathological self-loathing.

News broke last week that former Hamilton High School standout Christian Westerman was planning on leaving Auburn to transfer to Arizona State.
According to ASUDevils.com, the transfer became official Wednesday.
Christian Westerman transfer from Auburn to Arizona State is official per ASU program source. Former No. 3 tackle recruit nationally.
— ASUDevils.com (@ASUDevilscom) December 19, 2012
Westerman was rated the third-best offensive tackle prospect in the nation in 2011 by Rivals.com, and chose Auburn over offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas and both Arizona and Arizona State.
The 6-foot-4, 298-pound Westerman played in three games this past season for Auburn, starting one. He was bothered by an ankle injury for a good portion of the 2012 season.

Contradicting statements cloud deadly I-19 accident
Reporter: Marcelino Benito
NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - Serious questions as to what lead up to this weekend's death along I-19. According to the Border Patrol, agents were following a group of undocumented immigrants Sunday night near the Tubac checkpoint, but were not chasing them. DPS, who is heading this investigation, says something different.
It happened along kilometer post 42. An 18-year-old girl, suspected to be in the country illegally, makes her way towards a hectic freeway. She tries to cross, but is hit. Twice. Killed instantly.
"It's just unfortunate, a young lady looking for a bright future in a new land," said Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada. "It just vanished in a split second."
The accident happened in Estrada's county. He says crossing I-19, the major highway that gets them from one side of the county to another is a likely pattern of travel for illegal immigrants. And it can be dangerous.
"You have people who are not familiar with the area," said Estrada. "It's at night. It's dark. They're moving around and they think it's easy, they think it's safe to cross the freeway. They see the lights. They can't calculate speed or distance."
Arizona's Department of Public Safety, the lead agency in this investigation responded with Border Patrol. In a statement DPS told 9OYS this:
"A female pedestrian was being chased on foot by U.S. Border Patrol, when the pedestrian ran across the (southbound) lanes and was struck."
But Customs and Border Protection told us this:
"At the time of the incident, the group was not being actively pursued by Border Patrol agents."
If it sounds like a contradiction, you'd be right. 9OYS wanted to know was there an active chase or not? We tried getting answers, but Border Patrol referred us to the same statement. DPS also stood by its statement.
For now the contradiction remains. Whether there was a chase or not, Estrada tells us, this just shows how dangerous it can be for all players both immigrant and law enforcement along the border.
"They obviously try to avoid detention and escape the Border Patrol," said Estrada. "They take risks, but they don't understand how dangerous it can be."
This was the second time in five months that a suspected illegal immigrant was struck and killed along I-19. The last time it happened was October 14, 2012. That too involved an apparent attempt to escape arrest by BP agents.

Barnett Newman
From Wikiquote
Barnett Newman (29 January 1905 – 4 July 1970) was an American artist. He is seen as one of the major figures in abstract expressionism and one of the foremost of the color field painters.
- To us art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risks.
- This world of imagination is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.
- It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way not his way.
- We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the nequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.
- It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing. We assert that the subject is crucial and only that subject matter is valid which is tragic and timeless.

- The subject matter of creation is chaos. The present feeling seems to be that the artist is concerned with form, color, and spatial arrangement. This objective approach to art reduces it to a kind of ornament. The whole attitude of abstract painting, for example, has been such that it has reduced painting to an ornamental art whereby the picture surface is broken up in geometrical fashion into a new kind of design-image. It is a decorative art built on a slogan of purism where the attempt is made for an unworldly statement...
- p. 139
- The failure of abstract painting is due to the confusion that exists in the understanding of primitive art [as well as that] concerning the nature of abstraction.

- All artists whether primitive or sophisticated, have been involved in the handling of chaos.

- Surrealism, is interested in a dream world that will penetrate the human psyche.

- The present painter is concerned not with his own feelings or with the mystery of his own personality but with the penetration into the world-mystery. His imagination is therefore attempting to dig into metaphysical secrets.

- Sylvester: When was it that you first did a painting with one or two simple lines, horizontal or vertical, across the surface?
Newman: I would say that it began in '46— '47. In those years, whenever I did a painting with one or two elements in it, it did always have a sense of an atmospheric background, I suppose — with the exception of a painting which I called Euclidian Abyss, where the background is black and has some of the white coming through, but there's no true atmosphere.

- The problem of a painting is physical and metaphysical the same as I think life is physical and metaphysical.

Quotes about Barnett Newman[edit]
- Subject matter is not... eliminated from Newman's painting in any strict sense. In a monologue entitled The plastic Image (1943-45), Newman stresses the importance of subject-matter in painting. In the absence of subject-matter, he writes, painting becomes 'ornamental'.

The Tattoo
--- Making a Permanent Impression Since 1994 ---
Memo details school response to threats
By Mike Nguyen
with the dizzying coverage of school violence in the media, the thought of a
shooting happening in Bristol seemed extremely unlikely -- almost nonexistent.
police arrested a Bristol Eastern High School junior, John Coons, and charged
him March 12 with threatening to attack the school.
on $500,000 bond for nearly a week behind bars – charged with inciting injury
to persons or property, threatening and breach of peace – the 17-year-old is
currently free and undergoing counseling. He hasn't returned to school.
to a March 14 memorandum sent to school staff members by Daniel Viens, an
assistant principal at Eastern, three students came to his office "to make me
aware of a situation regarding what they heard from a friend."
was the part of the story that bothered us," wrote Viens: "the student
involved had asked two of his friends to assist in developing a plan to attack
the school. This student was also chatting with someone up north regarding the
making of a bomb."
both Viens and Boyd Biondino, another assistant principal, listened to the
students' worries, he wrote in the memo, Coons "was brought down to the
office, interviewed" and "admitted to making the comments."
told the school officials he "was just kidding," according to Viens' memo.
that point, administrators called Coons' mother and turned over the case to
Police Officer Gary Vincent, who is stationed at the school frequently.
said that by 3:30 Monday – three hours after the three unidentified students
first talked with him – Vincent had left a phone message saying "the student
was arrested and charged. A search of his locker, book bag and home showed up
remains unclear exactly what Coons, whose parents declined to allow him to be
interviewed, is alleged to have said or done.
school officials or the police overreact? The evidence isn't in.
a recent Federal Bureau of Investigation report – "The School Shooter: A
Threat Assessment Perspective" – examines the rising numbers of threats and
attacks against random students in the classroom in an effort to find the best
course of action.
stories of white suburban teenagers are the most covered of this time, violence
in schools generally doesn't match that small exception, according to the
how did Eastern's management of a violent threat do, according to the report?
FBI's suggested approach to threats is to treat each one with the same
seriousness, but not the same procedures.
today's climate, some schools tend to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to any
mention of violence," the report said.
response to every threat is the same, regardless of its credibility or the
likelihood that it will be carried out. In the shock-wave of recent school
shootings, this reaction may be understandable, but it is exaggerated -- and
perhaps dangerous, leading to potential underestimation of serious threats,
overreaction to less serious ones, and unfairly punishing or stigmatizing
students who are in fact not dangerous," states the report.
the danger of every threat, the report said, requires school officials to ask
how credible is it and "to what extent does the threatener appear to have the
resources, intent and motivation to carry out the threat?"
report said low-level threats require "interviews with the student and his or
her parents" as well as disciplinary action and possibly counseling or other
example of a low-level threat, the FBI said, would be an email from one student
to another that says, "You are a dead man."
level threats "should in most cases include contacting law enforcement
agencies, as well as other sources, to obtain additional information."
Sometimes, but not always, the report continued, the cases "warrant
investigation as a possible criminal offense."
example of a medium-level threat would be a ninth grader making a video of
students on school property shooting one another with guns that appear real, the
report said.
high-level threats, according to the FBI, the school should "immediately
notify" police and implement plans that should already be on the books.
high-level threat is highly likely to result in criminal prosecution," the
report said.
example offered by the FBI is an anonymous threat made by phone to blow up a
pipe bomb placed in a senior's locker near the gym at noon – what makes it a
serious case is that it is "direct and specific" rather than vague.
the details of Coons' case are still unknown, it is unclear whether officials
overreacted or took the appropriate steps.
there is talk that Eastern will install security cameras and code button
activated security systems, administrators know the best solution is training
faculty and students to recognize and respond to dangers.
Viens' memo, he concludes with a reminder for school personnel: "Open
communication with students and staff is our only defense against acts of
violence. Please keep your eyes and ears open and keep us informed."
staff writer James Hebert contributed to this story.

Test Drive: Yongnuo YN-560
Six months in, there have been enough reports of dead or dodgy YN-560s that I cannot in good faith recommend this flash. IMO, if they would put $5 more into build quality and tweak the interface, they could have (or, could have had) a real winner.
Here is a direct quote, from a retailer who sold them in the UK:
"I had piles of dead ones out of the hundreds we bought. We sold them off as dead in batches of 10 for $10 a piece. Other than a fail as soon as we tested before shipping, some were brand new. But YongNuo offer resellers only a 30 day warranty, and it has to get to them inside the 30 days. That's two weeks shipping from them, 2-3 weeks to return = no warranty."
After months of rumor-fueled anticipation, I finally got my grubby little hands on a production model YN-560 speedlight.
The new, $85(!) flash has two important features which potentially potentially make it an good addition to a lighting photographer's bag: A built-in slave and an external sync jack.
Any shoe-mount flash with that kind of bling deserves a look.
First impressions, after the jump.
The flash I ordered was a standard production unit. I had seen reports around the web from pre-production versions, but this review is from a unit purchased directly from Yongnuo via the US eBay site.
There are lots of different people selling them on eBay. But Yongnuo was offering a one-year warranty, which made them the obvious choice. Your mileage may vary with other retailers, who may offer a warranty anywhere from one year down to nothing.
There has been a lot of talk of the YN-560 as a lower-priced alternative to the $160 LumoPro LP160. Let's see how it stacks up.
Build Quality / Warranty
Yongnuo is an up-and-comer. Their quality continues to improve, and I have been very happy with my Yongnuo 10m TTL cord. Similarly, this flash gets triple aces on build quality -- it is very solid. Like, surprisingly so.
It feels like a much more expensive flash, aping the lines of the similarly named Canon EX-580 II. The battery door is captive and hinged (a plus over the LP160) and very well-designed. The battery polarity sticker is a nice touch for guys like me who are putting off getting bifocals. (That bell tolls for me in three weeks -- I am officially old.)
The batts themselves drop right in, whereas the LP160 housing can be a little tight on some of the rechargeable batts that sometimes are a little bigger than the alkaline versions.
The PC jack and high-voltage jack (don't get too excited about the latter yet) are covered by a rubber door -- another nice touch. Unlike the metal foot on the LP160, Yongnuo chose to use a plastic foot on the '560. I would not consider this a problem, as it appears to be solid.
Like the '160, it has a screw-down lock collar, but also adds a lock pin. In practice, the screw-down collar should suffice. Short answer, both models have reliable feet.
Weight-wise, it measures up about the same as an LP160 -- maybe even a tad heavier, judging with one in each hand. Both of these models are well-built.
So, build quality is great. Which is not to say that quality control necessarily is on the '560. As I said, this was a production model. But nonetheless, mine had some problems.
The recycle beep function did not work on my flash, which is a minor annoyance from an otherwise helpful feature. The LP 160 does not include a ready beep, but does include a ready light on both the front and the back. Call it a wash -- well, if the ready beep worked on the '560.
Far more frustrating was the fact that my flash had a non-working zoom-head motor.
I so wanted to love you, YN-560. Now you hit me with a second, non-working feature. The absence of which essentially makes the flash unusable for me, necessitating a round-trip return to China.
On the one hand, this is why I strongly suggest buying direct. On the other hand, I would also suggest that Yongnuo join LumoPro in hand-checking each unit before it goes out. It is only a wasted effort if your quality control is hitting 100%. And you are not there yet, Yongnuo.
It's 30 seconds of prevention to insure against a few weeks' wait for the customer if problems arise later. Especially until Yongnuo gets the early production bugs worked out.
Slave and Sync
Kudos to Yongnuo for including both a slave and an external sync jack, although I would have loved to see a 1/8" jack alongside the PC version. Having to buy overpriced PC cords over the life of the flash is a hidden tax when compared to flashes that sync with a 1/8" jack. Advantage: LP160.
From my early testing, the slave appears to be very capable, and on par with that of the LP160. I would have liked to see more rotation on the flash head, which goes 180-left and 90-right. This leaves one quadrant uncovered for times when you need to point the flash head one way and the slave another.
The LP160 goes 180-right and 150-left, meaning click stops every 30 degrees around the circle. This difference will not seem important to you until you need to point the slave in a certain direction to get a good sync. Advantage, LP160.
Control Interface
What can I say. I found the 560's controls to be both fantastic and maddening.
On the plus side, you get a 1/1 - 1/128 power range. This is unheard of in the sub-$100 price range, but they go and include eight steps of variability between each stop. Amazing in theory, but in practice the flash's consistency tops out in the ~1/3-stop range. In other words, it ain't a Profoto D1, but I really like where they are aiming. You have to give them major props for that little trick. Advantage: YN-560.
That was the spoonful of sugar. Now here's the medicine.
The flash uses a row of 8 LEDs across the back display to give the following info:
1. Zoom head angle: This is the only function that is actually labelled, and a tad ironically so for me given that my zoom motor did not work.
2. Power range, from 1/1 to 1/128: When adjusting the power with the left/right buttons, the dot scale represents overall flash power -- but is not labelled as such. You have to count the dots. That's a dumb miss -- what were they thinking?
3. Intra-stop power range: When using the up/down buttons, this adjusts the power between stops. Again, no labels, and going for the third indicator from the same set of LEDs gets problematic when it comes to labeling.
I applaud the effort to get as much mileage as possible out of the LEDs, but I personally found the interface to be completely non-intuitive bordering on pretty annoying.
On the other hand, the LP160 has two rows of LEDs signaling both zoom head setting and power setting. So, while the LP160 lacks intra-stop adjustments and a 1/128th power setting, I still strongly prefer its interface -- faster and more intuitive.
Both flashes feature manual mode and two slave modes -- straight and pre-flash. They are pretty self-explanatory, although I do not know exactly how each handles the pre-flashes. But there is some mechanism for adding slaved manual flash to your TTL flashes, if that is your thing.
The YN560 offers a power saving mode, which will idle the flash after 3 mins. The instruction manual says you can wake it back up from its slumber by pressing the test button or the power button. Presumably, the test circuit could also be activated by a hard trigger at the PC jack, but probably not via the slave. After 15 mins of being dormant, the flash will turn itself off. If you are in either slave mode, the flash will extend the dormancy period to 30 mins.
That's pretty cool, but here's where it goes off the rails. If you turn off the power-saving mode, the flash will still shut down after 30 mins of non-firing (60 mins in slave modes).
Maybe it is just me, but if I turn off the power-saving mode, I would want the flash not to go to sleep. So if you pre-set flashes before an event, you'd better remember to pop them occasionally while you wait for the event to start. This is just dumb programming, and I would strongly suggest changing this on the next product run.
If I am not in power-saving mode, it is because I want the flash to stay on. If I drain the batts, it's on me.
Other testers have reported power levels to be similar to the Nikon and Canon flagship flashes. Just a tad below, to be specific, for both the '560 and the '160 -- and I have no reason to doubt them. In short, plenty of power.
I'd confirm it, but I do not even know what zoom setting my flash is stuck at. It's something wide as far as I can tell. Barring that info, comparative readings would be useless.
Recycle Time
Nice surprise here -- the YN-560 recycles fast. As in less than 2 seconds for NiMH's, and ~4 secs for alkalines. Remember, 1.2 NiMH batts deliver current faster than their higher-voltage alkaline cousins, and that's what counts.
But with great power comes great responsibility, dragonfly. After just ten full-power pops at the speed at which the internal NiMH AA's will recycle it, the '560 will drop into thermal protection mode for several minutes.
So back off, Rambo, unless you want a three-minute time-out. My advice would be to back off the recycle time just a tad so we could make use of it for more than ten pops at a time. Or, add in a little better heat sink and let us make use of this fast cycling.
Oddly (given the above) the YN-560 includes a high-power jack which appears to be a Canon model jack. Why would you do this on a flash that can overheat itself in ten full-power pops using just NiMH AA's?
This I do not know. If you get a YN-560, my advice is to ignore the hi-power batts. The inability of this flash to quickly dissipate heat would make it not very useful.
Unlike the LP160, the '560 does not come with a sync cord, but it does come with a case. Both flashes come with a foot/stand, and the '560's has a metal 1/4x20 insert. Nice.
And, oddly, my '560 came with a Sto-Fen -type dome, but it was outside the box. So I do not know if every YN-560 comes with a dome, or if I was just lucky. Add in the variable of other dealers, and who knows.
There is a pull-up/fold-over wide-angle panel, and a pull-out bounce card -- nice. The panel is pretty stiff, and without a lot of lip to grab. If you are a fingernail biter, you'll probably have to pull out a credit card or driver's license to get it out. But still, nice touch. The LP-160 has a slip-on diffuser panel. No nails needed, but you could lose it.
Advantage: Depends on what accessories are more important to you.
Where to Buy
No brainer -- get it direct from the factory on eBay. Why? Well, there's the one-year warranty for starters. It's not as long as the LP160 (2 years) but still very good. Alas, if you have problems with it as I did, it will require a round-trip back to China. But at least there should be no passing the buck on who is to blame for the problem.
And don't be confused by the Nikon version vs. the Canon version vs. the Pentax version, etc., on eBay. As far as I can tell, they are all the same. Just keywording to try to catch more bidders.
So that's the quick test drive. If you are using a YN-560, hit us in the comments with your experiences.

Rail Freight
California is a key link in the national rail freight system. In 2008, California railroads operated over 6,736 miles of track and carried 6,882,659 carloads of freight with a weight totaling over 164 million tons.
Rail Networks
Class I railroads – the designation for the major rail freight carriers – are represented in California by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). These two railroads have extensive rail networks connecting California with the rest of the nation, particularly corridors to the Southwest, Midwest and Northwest. Including rights obtained by one railroad to operate its trains over another railroad's tracks (trackage rights); these two railroads operate over a total of 5,432 miles in the State. In addition to these major carriers, local markets in California may be served by smaller rail freight networks – known as "short line railroads," that serve a particular market or which provide feeder service to the national freight rail network represented by the UP and the BNSF.
California State Rail Plan
By legislation, Caltrans is required to prepare a bi-annual California State Rail Plan, which includes a passenger- and a freight- rail component. The most recent Plan, signed in January 2009, recognizes the State's strategic interest in preserving and improving its freight rail system. The next iteration of the plan is currently underway.
