I bought Statoil (NYSE:STO) on the idea that this Norwegian energy giant was troubled, but that it would get its house back in order and deliver on its strong legacy of profitably developing energy reserves in challenging locations. So far, not so good. Statoil is one of the worst-performing energy majors over the past year, rising about 3% while Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has risen 29% and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Total (NYSE:TOT), BP (NYSE:BP) are all up about 18%.
Statoil continues to struggle to keep a handle on production costs, and unplanned outages have wrecked havoc with a relatively fixed operating expense structure. Though I still believe that Statoil can do better, and is significantly undervalued on that basis, it's getting harder and harder to stay patient with the stock.

Poor Q1 Results Highlight Familiar Problems
Statoil delivered a negative surprise with its first quarter earnings report, though it has gotten more difficult to honestly call underperformance a surprise.
Production was down 8% from the year-ago period and 2% from the fourth quarter. Although that was not too far off expectations, it was a fair bit worse than the results of BP (down 6% and up 1%), Chevron (up less than 1%, down 1%), and Exxon (down 4% and up 2%). Oil and gas production were largely identical, both in absolute terms (oil production was 52% of the total) and in relative terms. Realizations were likewise weak, with prices down 6% and 2% to an average of $74.78 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).
Profitability was even more problematic. Overall operating income fell 28% and missed the Street average by about 11%. Profits from Norwegian operations were down 26% on a 13% decline in production, as unplanned outages combined with an inflexible cost structure pummeled profits. International profits (down 15%) were weak on very poor U.S. gas profitability, while MPR profits were down 44% (and 38% below expectations) on weak gas trading results.
SEE: A Guide To Investing In Oil Markets
The Cost Of Doing Business Keeps Going Up
High production costs have been a challenge for Statoil, and they're not letting up. Statoil's operations in the North Sea have always been higher-cost operations, and getting production ramped up in areas like the Bakken have likewise required higher layouts. To that end, the company's year-end PV-10 declined 20% on a 24% increase in development costs. While BP and Eni (NYSE:E) have seen pressure to their per-barrel PV-10 numbers, and Total and Royal Dutch (NYSE:RDS.A) haven't shown great growth, Statoil stands out, and not in a good way.
On a more positive note, organic reserve replacement came in at 113% for 2012, the highest number in 15 years. The proved reserves number was flat year on year (5.2B BOE) and the reserve life is somewhat low (eight years), but Statoil's strong exploration results and aggressive drilling program should boost those numbers in the coming years. Finding and development costs were stable at a bit under $27 per boe, which is still rather high relative to its peers.
There's A Lot That Can Go Right
Certainly there are a lot of negatives that can be trotted out against Statoil, and Wall Street's sell-side has been pretty dutiful in doing so in recent months. Nevertheless, I still believe there are meaningful positives that can drive this company to better days.
Few companies (if any) are better than Statoil at operating in difficult environments, and that's increasingly where the new oil and gas discoveries are. Likewise, Statoil is quite adept at various enhanced oil recovery methods and technologies. Couple that with a strong exploration program, I believe Statoil can outperform very low production growth expectations over the next five to ten years.
Likewise, I think Statoil has some excellent future reservoirs still early in their development lives. The company overpaid for its Bakken exposure, but its performance has been pretty good. Elsewhere, I think projects in Angola, Tanzania, Ghana, Mozambique, and Russia's Arctic hold real promise.
The bigger question is whether Statoil can drive operational improvements that flow through to the bottom line. A large percentage of the company's current reserves are in Norway, and that does limit the company's options to some extent. Still, I believe better execution (and maybe even just better luck) is possible and the company could generate better returns with a little more cost discipline and a willingness to walk away from "production growth at any price" projects.
SEE: Oil And Gas Industry Primer
The Bottom Line
Statoil is pretty much hated by the Street right now. Relative to published sell-side price targets, the stock seems about as underpriced as BP and Total, but the implied valuation is much different. A 4x multiple to 12-month EBITDA is generally a low/discounted multiple among the majors, but a 3x multiple for Statoil suggests a whopping 60% upside to the current price. Now Statoil certainly deserves some penalty for its weak margins and its extreme leverage to very high oil prices, but this degree of penalty seems excessive. Accordingly, value keeps me invested in these shares, but if management doesn't pick up its performance in the next year or so, even the die-hards are going to give up.
At the time of writing, Stephen D. Simpson owned shares of Statoil.

I want my VM to be assigned the IP address of the host.
My VM (Ubuntu OS 12.04 LTS) is installed inside my Windows 7 host machine. When I connect the host to the network, it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP. The network does not allow the physical machine to request for more than one IP address; it will lock the LAN connection immediately.
How can I configure the VM to get the network connectivity from the host using the same IP address?
Thank you.

Wine can blend beautifully with a variety of dishes including meat, risotto, soup, and shellfish. The rich notes of red wine or delicate flavor of white both work to make these recipes toast-worthy.
20 Recipes with WineCooking with wine allows food to absorb lush and diverse flavors. Reds lend rich, velvety flavors to meats and decadent desserts. Whites help to create a lighter sauce for broths and pastas. Store already-opened wine in the fridge to have around for cooking.
First up, this lamb shoulder recipe combines sweet wine and spring produce with lamb, a meat typically associated with the season. You may need to call ahead to order lamb shoulder from your regular butcher. Look for a producer of grass-fed lamb in your area.
View Recipe: Lamb Shoulder Braised with Spring Vegetables, Green Herbs, and White Wine
Champagne–Browned Butter ChickenThis is a riff on coq au vin, the French standard of chicken and veggies simmered in red wine. The coq usually takes on a deep purplish-red cast from the vin, but our modern take cooks the chicken in broth: It tastes lighter and looks much brighter. After the chicken cooks, it's smothered with a delicious Champagne reduction sauce that's enriched with nutty brown butter.
Angel Hair Pasta with Mussels and Red Pepper SauceThis simple dinner of angel hair pasta with mussels is a delicious way to enjoy fresh seafood. Sweet red peppers help balance the naturally salty mussels, dry white wine, and the slightly acidic tomatoes.
View Recipe: Angel Hair Pasta with Mussels and Red Pepper Sauce
Artichokes with Roasted Garlic-Wine DipThe ritual of eating whole artichokes―tear off a leaf, eat the tender flesh, and repeat―is as much a part of the experience as the flavor. The creamy texture and sweet savoriness of roasted garlic in the dipping sauce serve to enhance everything to heavenly levels. If you plan to serve the remaining wine with this first course, choose a crisp, acidic pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc, which pair well with artichokes. Otherwise, any dry white will work for the sauce.
Tomato-Based White Wine Fish SoupThis fish soup features a tomato-and-white-wine base, chopped vegetables, shrimp, scallops, and halibut. Serve with dry crusty bread for a complete meal.
Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine SauceTry a lighter take on classic chicken marsala with this dish dressed in mushrooms and a marsala wine sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the tasty sauce.
Beef Braised with Red Wine and MushroomsAdd a teaspoon or two of ground dried porcini mushrooms along with the broth and red wine to give the dish an extra layer of mushroom flavor. Meaty, earthy-tasting mushrooms such as porcini or black trumpet are ideal. Serve over egg noodles or rice.
Chicken PiccataBriny capers, white wine, and bright lemon really make this bird sing. Serve tangy Chicken Piccata with mashed potatoes or roasted seasonal root vegetables.
Beef Daube ProvençalThis classic French braised beef, red wine, and vegetable stew is simple and delicious. The flavor and texture allow you to keep it warm for your guests. Buy a whole-grain baguette, bagged salad greens, and bottled vinaigrette to round out the meal.
Filet Mignon with Mushroom-Wine SauceSweet Marsala and mushrooms give this choice dish an elegant taste. For simple sides, serve with packaged refrigerated mashed potatoes and bagged salad greens with bottled dressing.
Red Wine ReductionA red wine reduction sounds impressive, but it isn't as difficult as you might think. You can turn this into a pan sauce for steak by removing the cooked steak from the pan, adding the stock to the pan and scraping to loosen browned bits, then proceeding with the recipe as follows. The deglazed bits add wonderful depth of flavor to the sauce.
Fusilli with Caramelized Spring Onions and White WineDry white wine, garlic, and olive oil are key to starting a delicious, light sauce for pasta. Spring onions are those that have been harvested early—they look like scallions with large white bulbs. If they're unavailable, use Vidalia onions. Rotini (corkscrew pasta) will work in place of fusilli.
View Recipe: Fusilli with Caramelized Spring Onions and White Wine
Strawberry-Blueberry Compote in Red Wine SyrupInfusing red wine with warm spices and herbs creates a fragrant syrup for the distinctive ruby-hued compote. Serve over ice cream, pound cake, or with almond biscotti, and garnish with mint.
Mussels in Tomato-Wine BrothThe people of Belgium dine on moules-frites, a staple dish of mussels and French fries. Try your hand at this international favorite. Steam mussels and place them in this savory wine broth. Lighten up the traditional way by having some plain toasted bread handy to soak up the broth. A glass of chilled white wine goes nicely with this dish.
Steamed Clams with White Wine and TomatoesClam and mussels are best in a light wine broth with crusty bread to soak up the savory broth. Cook clams within 24 hours of purchasing in order to ensure freshness. Be sure to throw out any clams that don't close their shells when tapped.
Barley, Butternut Squash, and Shiitake RisottoA dry or sweet white wine can be used here to flavor the pearl barley and pair with sweet butternut squash.
Beef Filets with Red Wine Sauce and Roasted Veggie FriesA velvety red wine such as pinot noir lends a rich flavor to the beef tenderloins. The cornmeal-coated veggies are a great addition as well.
View Recipe: Beef Filets with Red Wine Sauce and Roasted Veggie Fries
Chicken and Asparagus in White Wine SauceThis tasty chicken and asparagus with white wine sauce is easy enough for a weeknight dinner but impressive enough for company. This recipe works equally well with green beans or haricots verts in place of asparagus.
Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine SauceLeftover sauvignon blanc will work perfectly here. Put this recipe together in less than 25 minutes, probably without a trip to the store. It's adaptable to your pantry--if you don't have egg noodles, use another kind of pasta, and if you're out of tarragon, try basil, oregano, or thyme.
View Recipe: Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce
Red Wine Pear Crisp with Spiced StreuselPears and red wine combine beautifully in this dessert. Make sure that the pears are firm and not too ripe, or they will become mushy when cooked with the wine. Bosc and Anjou pears work well.

Madonna, who just recently adopted a Malawi boy, has decided she wants another child – a Malawi girl. The first orphan just felt so right that she needed another one. Immediately. According to the Daily Mail,
The pop queen has revealed she plans to adopt a second youngster from impoverished Malawi – this time a baby girl, to "redress the balance" in her family.
She is already mother to Lourdes, ten, and Rocco, six.
Asked in an interview if she wanted another child the 48-year-old answered: "Yes, absolutely. I'm going to adopt another Malawian child very quickly. A baby girl this time, in order to redress the balance".
The first uprising of local children rights groups wasn't enough. She wants complete unrest in the streets fields dirt of Malawi. Although it is great she will help another life, after her explaining her reasoning, it just seemed selfish. What the hell does "redress the balance" mean? It sounds something a 5 year old girl would say after she fucked up Barbie's right side of her hair.

Jay Peak Ski Getaways
A lot of mountains in the east offer glades. Jay specializes in them.
Aficionados of tree and glade skiing and riding do enjoy Jay's acres of groomed trails - it makes it easier to zip to their favorite glades. Thanks to reliable natural snowfall, high altitude, and a location in far northern Vermont, Jay's glades open early and stay open late, much to the delight of bark eaters from all over the east. Those who prefer their snow groomed need not worry; Jay has miles of well-groomed trails for all abilities, most of it covered by snowmaking. Scenic cruisers like Vermonter and Northway off the summit vie for your attention with steeper groomed trails like Haynes and The Jet over on Stateside (Jay regulars refer to the two interconnected halves of the mountain as Tramside and Stateside). Those new to skiing and riding also have an excellent choice of lower-angle groomers, and even an easier glade, Bushwacker, in which to sample Jay's signature woods.
Jay's tree and glade possibilities range from relatively open areas - Stateside Glade and Timbuktu come to mind - to tight tree shots like Kitz Woods and Valhalla. Steep chutes lead into Everglade and Staircase, while Vertigo, just off Upper River Quai, is both steep and tight. Up above you'll find The Face and a number of very steep chutes off the summit ridge, open when the snow allows. But beware! Jay doesn't rate any of its terrain above a black diamond, but there are more than a handful of marked trails and glades that require all your attention and skill.
Eight lifts provide access to all this, whether it's mild or wild you're after. The Jet Triple on Stateside serves a pod of mostly black diamond trails and glades, the Bonaventure Quad drops you on the ridge that separates the two halves of the mountain, and the 60-passenger tram or the Green Mountain Flyer provide a ride to the good stuff over on Tramside. Four other lifts get you up and around the easier terrain.
For those who want to play in the park, Jay offers up a half pipe and a large and varied terrain park at Stateside.
Jay anchors the far corner of the Northeast Kingdom, five miles from the Canadian border. That means that about half of the guests on any given day will be from Quebec, lending the mountain a distinctly international flavor.

I was told that I cannot put another derailler on the bike unless it has the hanger attached...like the tourney. It doesn't make sense to me that I couldn't put a hanger on the bike and attach any derailler that I want. Any thoughts if this makes sense

Coffee Gudda - Paradise on Earth..
Coffee Gudda Home Stay is indeed a Paradise on Earth. We 9 people from IBM, Benglaur visited this wonderful place on June 16th, 17th and had a Fantabulous time in the HOme stay.
Though we did not have any plans to go to Coffeegudda but we had a Bitter experience at THE RAPPA Resort located in Hassan district which we had booked for 2 days 1 Night package..sinc
e the hospitality was at terrible, we immediately contacted Coffeegudda Owner Ravi Rai and luckily got the oppurtunity to visit this place...
Coffegudda has an Excellent Team with Ravi Rai ( Owner), Shamshuddin and Ashok ( Supervising), Manjunath and Sandesh ( Marketing) who see that we enjoy every minute at the place...
Ravi Rai himself had come to receive us at Kalasa, we made him wait for nearly 2 hours as we had some discrepancies at The Rappa which made us to reach Kalasa late...we reached there at 9pm on Saturday, Ignoring it, Ravi greeted us with a smile which was like a cool breeze in the summer season...
We were tired like hell and the moment we sat for dinner, we tasted the Malnad recipes and we felt rejuvenated...it was really wonderful...he didn't give us pizza or burgers but simple Malnad Dishes which was prepared with utmost care and affection and served with excellent hospitality...It was mind blowing...
We felt as if we were in our own place...That was absolutely incredible from any place which is commercially oriented...but this place is really a Paradise..and Ravi Rai is a Gem...
Next day we got up..Ravi sir came and he didn't ask us for money (which most owners do) but enquired about the journey and our comfort...tat was unique...
We went to near by falls and Ravi Sir had sent one person with us to accompany us to the falls and he took care of us like kids...Hats off to him...we came back for lunch and we were dumb struck about the taste of the Malnad food and the water tasted very sweet...
I think I can write a book about this fantabulous Xperience and we have already decided to visit this place this September for a Joyous time....
Kudos to One and All at Coffeegudda who made our Trip most memorable...

July 13, 2011 - Black wednesday ..yet again..!!!
Bomb blasts in Bomb hey...!!!!!
Once again the terrorists have stuck the economic capital of India, spilling blood over the crowded places in mumbai...all these shoutings, blame games people's sympathy, helplessness, support and co ordination will continue for few days and then will not return to the core until yet another deadly strike happens and few more are added to the graves...
India with a population of 120 crores plus doesn't have any person who can deal with this in a stern way...
whatever may be the reports about wednesday's or friday's, dates such as 11, 13 or 26 nothing is gonna change ...all these comparisons or media cry will not work for the hapless mumbaikars who have become the children of destiny...Severe intelligenc failure, security breach will not affect these politicians who will appear in public during such incidents to pay tributes to the souls or to console the affected...
All this hypocrisy will run and continue to run...
Neither there is any co ordination between various state governments and the central government in curbing this menace...might be they have joined hands with the terrorists for population control...
much said about this...whether it is done by HUJI or Taliban or SIMI whatever may be...they continue to rock and rock...and the common man accepts a crushing defeat in every thing...
The Central government boasts of its friendship policy with Pak which can never sustain India's development, progress and prosperity, while the centre plays double standards with the children of this country...Pak continues to humiliate, disturb in India in all possible ways but still we give them a smile, while our own people revolt against the government for worst governance and they are branded as Extremists/Naxalites and high profile operation is used to silence them...while Pak continues to use their technology to disturb peace in the sub continent...What a tyranny and hypocrisy...!!!!!!!

Youth unrest in Telengana...!!!
Telangana... This topic has become the favorite topic for politicians now and every one is enjoying that using it for their own selfish purposes...
Politicians are using it to fulfill their ulterior motives, they are using the college students (who are always their hot favorites) to participate in the strikes (which is now slowly turning into a battle) and college students are using it according to their whims and fancies...(bunking classes, falsely thinking that they are doing a noble deed by participating in this struggle)...
The central government has become very feeble in handling this situation while the Andhra pradesh state government has become a mute spectator...where one party is taking the entire state into ransom...
Whatever may be the motive of this struggle, the central government has to take a stern stance in diffusing the situation...It should place all the facts and figures before the public and evince public opinion and take action accordingly...and politics should be kept thousand miles away while dealing with these kind of matters which have the potential to turn into a political storm...yet COMMON MAN will be the target and the victim...
Property worth crores of rupees would be damaged, innocent lives would be lost and this is not a gud sign for any country which is trying very hard to develop and rank amongst the developed nations...

Deteriorating law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh..!!!
" Yatra naryastu pujyanthe ramante tatra devataha"
( Gods reside, where women are worshipped)
This is a very popular saying in Sanskrit about Indian cultural values for women..
Women were held in high esteem in primordial times, but now a day has come where in India has become a very unsafe place for women..Rising instances of offense against women, rising female foeticide and adding to it the plight of women in BIMARU states of India (Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh) is pathetic.
The whole nation was dumb struck and shook its head in utter despair, when Uttar Pradesh reported 11 rape cases in a span of 10 days. The naked truth that cops were also directly involved in few cases has made every girl in this country feel nervous about their own existence. Today there are unable to judge who is the enemy...
It may be her father, brother, husband, relative, known person etc... the whole man folk has become her night mare...
Not to mix politics with these issues, this is the time where there are N number of laws being drafted and enacted for women empowerment, but still women have become and are becoming scape goats...!!!
It's also surprising that our President is a woman, Congress Party President (most powerful woman in India) is also a woman, UP is led by Mayawathi, Lok sabha speaker is also a woman, yet and yet we can see these things only in India....Any state government for that matter has to take stringent action against the perpetrators and guilty should be punished...these are not goodd for any upcoming society, where we speak for hours together about women empowerment and upliftment and implementing them we score a big 0...
Still we say Mera Bharath Mahan
Very sad to say that this scenario will never change in India even after 100 years...

Cricket fever, Indio-Pak match and Politics...!!!
Cricket fever grips the nation...!!!
Today the 30th of March 2011, in the world cup semi finals, India is playing against Pak in Mohali stadium.
While i am writing this article, media has created so much hype in past few days that there is so much hype, expectations on the Indian team and
I bet, they would surely disappoint US..
But do we need this much attention to be given to the Cricket Team...are they becoming demi-gods to us..
while all their movements is being watched, while their life styles being emulated but the million dollar question is
are they really worthy of getting this much attention...
India is an epitome of the world; and peoples of all religions stay here...and the major target during India-Pak cricket match would be Muslims. Indian constitution guarantess Freedom of speech and expression and if any Indian born muslim says he would like Pakistan to win then he is seen as a traitor...
But the biggest problem is in every metropolitan city in India, there would be great influx of people from neighbouring states, you can take the example of Mumbai (where Xenophobia exists)
Now to take an example of Karnataka, if the IPL cricket match is between Bengalur and Chennai or Bengalur and Hyderabad then we can't expect that people who are from that states will support Bengalur as they are working in Bengalur
They would support their home state obviously....
so then why is this feeling that if any muslim says that he wants Pak to win or what is the wrong if they celebrate Pak's victory in India....
This is a million dollar ? which needs to be answered without which India would be plagued with communal tensions and we don't unite as a country but as a state or on basis of language....
During such occassions, Politicians take the mileage...
Our feeble minded PM Mr. Manmohan Singh has invited Pak PM Geelani to watch the cricket match in Mohali...well this is a gud move...but don't we think v r becoming very hypocratic...
we are xtending friendship to one country which has been pricking our heart continously while we are using elite forces for our own sons of the soil who have revolted or rebelled against these Politicians and bureaucracy
...We have branded them as Naxalites....
Why don't we extend the same helping hand to these people who are born within India and have rebelled due to these bloody politicians...
Who will tie the bell to the cat's tail...???!!!

Hey, how're you. I enjoyed your Zine. Did you end up receiving mine in the mail? If not ill re-send it.
I checked my box yesterday and got your zine! thank you so much for the trade, it's a great addition to my collection.
Yeah, it was from one of my paintings...I'd love to trade zines, when I get mine finished, I'll let you know. You can look at my other artwork at www.facebook.com/OrgandySalvageArt

Thanks! I make mostly art zines--right now I am working on a plant identification zine and a zine about losing friends to heroin addiction. I absolutely love your layout!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Lindsay Lohan left UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica today (June 8th) after her Porsche rear-ended an 18-wheeler on the Pacific Coast Highway around 11:30 a.m. Lohan, according to TMZ, was on her way to film Lifetime's biopic, Liz & Dick when she went "smash" right into the big ole truck.
Sources told the celebrity news site that the Porsche was a rental, and that Lohan claimed the accident was not her fault; the 18-wheeler cut her off. Lohan and her assistant were bruised and bleeding when authorities arrived at the scene, and while the assistant was taken to the hospital via ambulance, Lohan was driven separately.
Lohan left UCLA Medical Center in an SUV to resume shooting. "She was brought to Santa Monica UCLA hospital as a precaution," the star's rep told People. "She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident."

Embassy Activities
Ambassador Anania Opens New Forensics Lab
The U.S. Embassy contributed furnishings at the opening of the New Forensics Lab at the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at the Academic Hospital.
December 17 marked the opening of the new forensics lab at the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at the Academic Hospital. The U.S. Embassy donated computers and furniture for the lab. After cutting the ribbon to open the facility, Ambassador Anania toured the lab with other invited guests at the grand opening. The U.S. Government and the Netherlands, in cooperation with the Suriname Ministry of Justice and Police, funded the lab.
The lab is part of the Ministry of Justice & Police's effort to establish a Suriname Forensic Institute (SFI). Introducing forensic investigations helps to professionalize the police force and gives them additional tools in solving crime.
The Institute for Biomedical Sciences will seek international accreditation for the lab, enabling Suriname to share DNA profiles with other eligible countries, such as the U.S., to catch transnational criminals and contribute to regional security.
The United States and Suriname are working together in the fight against transnational

Here are a couple of accounts of commercial airline pilots, one of whom has been put on the TSA's no-fly list and the other is on the terrorist watch-list, for reasons that no one will disclose.
A Gulf War veteran and his wife say they've been unfairly placed on a federal list that limits their commercial flight access and threatens his job as a commercial pilot. To fight back, the couple, who are Muslim, filed a lawsuit today against a host of U.S. government agencies. "We don't know why they're on the list. They don't know why they're on the list. The government won't tell us why they're on the list," said Amy Foerster, an attorney with Saul Ewing, who is providing pro bono counsel and working with the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and the Schuylkill County couple on the case, which was filed in U.S. district court…James Robinson is a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and a commercial pilot for a major airline who flies passenger planes around the country. James Robinson is a retired brigadier general and a commercial pilot. His name is on the terrorist "watch list."
He has even been certified by the Transportation Security Administration to carry a weapon into the cockpit as part of the government's defense program should a terrorist try to commandeer a plane.
But there's one problem: James Robinson, the pilot, has difficulty even getting to his plane because his name is on the government's terrorist "watch list."
Robinson is one of many James Robinsons on the list, including a 5-year-old. Good news, though — all you need to do to avoid the secondary screening is fly under your initials, rather than name. Better hope the terrorists never figure that out. Ho ho ho TSA.

I was just wondering if someone can explain the effect of using a radio scanner (to listen to ATC) on an aircraft? Does it really matter if you use it? I mean, the real radios of the pilots cant work much different, or? I don't mean a transceiver, but just a scanner. Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

Coach Dale Lennon
Sept. 16, 2013
By DeMario Phipps-Smith and Jordan Roberts
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Saluki football coach Dale Lennon held his weekly press conference on Monday. SIU will play Southeast Missouri State at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m.
Q: How is Kory Faulkner progressing?
He feels better. He felt good enough to come into my office and say 'don't rule me out.' But that's the mentality you want from all your players, so that doesn't mean that he's going to be cleared to play, but his heart is in the right place. He wants to be out there on Saturday, and in his mind, he says, 'If it's hurt, no big deal. Everybody plays with a little pain.'"
Q: What is the injury?
"There is no fracture. That was our concern. We're looking at an AC strain."
Q: Is there a feeling among the team that this is a special game with the chance to play at Busch Stadium?
When I had the opportunity to tell the team that this game was going to be at Busch Stadium, it was fun because you could see it in the players' faces. They knew it was something special. Especially for the kids from the St. Louis area. This is going to be one of those games where it's fun to be a part of it, but as a coach, there are a lot of distractions that going along with it too. We need to be sure that the focus is on the normal preparation. This is something different than normal. The players are going to be extremely excited to be playing at Busch Stadium, but then again, you like having something special in the season. There's definitely a different feel to it.
Q: Will the preparation for the game on Saturday be any different this week?
"The biggest thing to account for is that both teams will be on the same sideline. I visited with the officials to find out how substitutions and timeouts would be handled. It's going to be different."
Q: How will the sideline situation affect how you run red zone plays?
"You have to be prepared for those situations. You have to be efficient with your substitutions, so when you send players in, you won't be subbing brand new personnel back out after a few plays. Defense is also an area that will be challenging. The rules state that the opposing team needs to allow you enough time to counter-substitute. When the ball is in the red zone Saturday, I'm sure some interesting scenarios will occur."
Q: How would you describe the rivalry with SEMO since you've been here?
"It's gotten very intense. In 2010, they beat us at Saluki Stadium and that intensified everything. They went on to have a great year and won their conference. Our games since then have been very heated and physical. They play a style of football that's very aggressive and physical—kind of like that old school style. They are well-coached, and I have a lot of respect for those guys. You have to earn everything you get from them."
Q: How do you gameplan against SEMO's running game?
"You have to slow them down. They have a few different types of backs, but when they want to be big and physical, they have a fullback that is 5-foot-11, 267 pounds. They also have a tailback that is 5-foot-10 and 240 pounds. So when you see them line up against Ole Miss and run the ball down their throat, there shouldn't be much surprise. They have two quarterbacks—I'm not sure of the starting situation—but Lathrop played against us last year. He's really improved and is more comfortable throwing the ball. They have some weapons offensively that can potentially be challenging for us."
Q: With them being 0-2, do you see any similarities between them and your team from a week ago?
"It's never any fun starting 0-2. The equation is a little different since we didn't have a week off after the second game. I'd say to their advantage, they have another week to rest up and get healthy."
Q: What steps will you take to ensure that Ryan West can be successful Saturday?
"The biggest thing is that he'll be taking the bulk of the first team repetitions. Usually, your starting quarterback will take about 60 percent of the first team snaps. Also we have to make sure that we have plays in that he likes because every quarterback has a set of go-to plays for certain situations."
Q: What's the biggest difference in style of play that you see between Kory (Faulkner) and Ryan (West)?
"Kory is a polished quarterback now, and Ryan West is a redshirt freshmen. So the biggest difference is the polish. Ryan West could do it, but sometimes you might not be too sure what you would get. That's why we have to put him in positions that he is comfortable with, so nothing gets to overwhelming for him.
Q: What would you consider his biggest strength?
"I think he's a competitor. I think he has a good quarterback demeanor. When he's in the huddle, he has the confidence of his teammates, and now it's just the matter of playing the game."
Q: When you recruited him what types of things did you see on tape or watching him in games in high school?
"Pretty much just what I said. He just had that demeanor about himself. With a quarterback that's really what you look for along with arm strength, athleticism and all those traits are there for him."

BENWOOD - While city officials say an error which resulted in a Benwood City Council member seeking re-election being left off the May 13 ballot is an honest mistake, a court could decide if further action is needed.
Council members are expected to determine what action could be taken during Tuesday's meeting.
Curtis Mele, who represents Benwood's 1st Ward, was one of four council members up for re-election this year. Others included Larry Ferrera III in the 2nd Ward; Water Yates in the 3rd Ward; and Robert Rose in the 4th Ward. All four men filed for re-election and were running unopposed.
But Mele's name did not appear on the May 13 ballot, which instead listed Councilman Chuck Terry as the candidate running unopposed in the 1st Ward. Terry discovered the error when he voted on May 13, and reported it to city officials.
Terry and three other members of council have terms that extend through the spring of 2016, including John Kazemka in the 2nd Ward; Lori Longwell in the 3rd Ward; and Carl Richter in the 4th Ward.
"This should have been such an easy election since everyone was running unopposed," said Mayor Ed Kuca. "Then we found out we had the wrong name on the ballot. Chuck Terry still has two years left on his term ... his name was on instead of Curt Mele's."
City Attorney Eric Gordon has been in contact with the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office, seeking advice on how the city next should proceed, according to Kuca.
"I can see a reason why Councilman Mele is upset," he said. "He was running unopposed, and all the residents were happy with how he has been running the city."
Mele couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday.
City Clerk Judy Hunt is responsible for sending the ballot information to the Marshall County Clerk's Office, and Police Chief Frank Longwell - who also ran unopposed for re-election - said the error slipped pass city officials who regarded it as an unopposed election.
"They might have to have another election," Longwell said. "No one filed against him the first time, and I can't see anyone filing against him a second time."
The Secretary of State's Office said the office learned of the ballot mix up in Benwood at 4 p.m. on Election Day, according to spokesman Jake Glance.
Glance said the office can't involve itself in the Benwood City Council race, as the election results have been certified, and that the matter likely will be decided in court.
Kuca said it isn't likely a city employee will be punished for the election error.
"It was an honest mistake - I haven't heard any council members say that (it wasn't)," he said. "They understand we're all human, and make mistakes. We've all made human errors in our lifetime."

Quebec Research
Catholic Research Protestant Research
Congratulations on having family in Quebec. It is an interesting and rewarding place to do research if your family is of Catholic origin. If it is not, there is less information available, but there is still a great deal to learn about your family. I do my research primarily in the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake which has an excellent collection of records for Quebec and in on-line resources including the Drouin collection of parish records available at www.ancestry.ca
Types of Records Available
Census Records
There are census records available similar to those in the U.S. for 1851-1921. The 1901 census contains exact birthdates. There are some very early (1600's) census records that name every family member. Extracted information from them is available in several formats. Some localities have additional head-of-household censuses. For further information about these census records, see Census Records on my Ontario page.
I have prepared an index to the 1851 census of Missisquoi County, Quebec which can be accessed Here. Be sure to read the introduction before searching the census index.
Finding Aids
There is a publication called The French Canadians which uses some sources not at the library, such as city directories for the 1800's, which might help find a location to start looking for an ancestor. This information is also available in electronic format on a CD called "Canadian Genealogical Index, 1600-1900".
Church Records
The most important records for Quebec are church records. As in all genealogical research, some records are missing or illegible, but as a whole, Quebec church records are excellent. All parishes were required to make two copies of their baptisms, marriages, and burials and give the 2nd copy to the civil authorities to serve as vital records. It is essential when doing Quebec research to know if a family was Catholic or Protestant so that the proper records can be search. The exact Protestant denomination is less important, though useful. Canadian census records list church affiliation.
Most Quebec records are written in French. Exceptions to this are Protestant parish records, some Irish (or other non-French) Catholic parish records, and records of most kinds that deal with the Eastern Townships. The Eastern Townships is an area just north of the U.S. border which was settled primarily by English-speaking Protestants following the British conquest of Quebec. I provide English complete translations or genealogical extracts, whichever you prefer, with photocopies of the original French-language parish records if you want them.
Parish Records
Microfilm copies of the Quebec Catholic parish records from the beginning of record keeping in the 1600's until about 1900 are available at the Family History Library. These records have been digitized but are not yet indexed. The images are available at Family Search. The Drouin Institute also microfilmed parish records and their copies have been digitized and are now available at www.ancestry.ca. I subscribe to this web site and can now search the parish records from my home computer. The Drouin copies include records well into the 20th century Most parish records list the parents of the child being christened or married, including the mother's maiden name. Marriage records often given the relationship to the bride or groom of the witnesses to the wedding. They also list the residence of the couple and of their parents. Adult burials are less helpful, but they may list parents of a child or an unmarried adult, usually list the husband of a woman who dies (even if she was a widow) and occasionally list the wife of a man who dies.
Compiled Sources and Indexes
Basic printed sources used for Quebec research include Cyprien Tanguay's Dictionnaire Généalogique Des Familles Canadiennes, which lists marriage and many (but not all) christenings and deaths from parish records to about 1780 (but these volumes are known to contain errors, so original records should also be consulted) and Rene Jette's Dictionnaire genealogique des familles du Quebec, an excellent book published in 1983 which lists marriages, births and deaths to 1730 using parish records, census records, notarial records, and others. Jette sometimes lists several generations of a family back in France, also.
Parish Records
Protestant records do not begin until after the conquest of Quebec in 1760. Though Protestant clergymen were required to make duplicate records, many records are still missing. Records begin later and are generally less well indexed and more difficult to search, and usually lack the information on parents found in Catholic marriage records. In spite of these drawbacks, there are still many church records available on Protestant families. Many of the Protestant records are included in the Drouin Institute records available at www.ancestry.ca
Compiled Sources and Indexes
A few printed extracts of Protestant records are available. These are mainly for the Eastern Townships area of Quebec. New compilations appear regularly either in book form or on the internet, though there is much less information available on the internet for Quebec than for the U.S.
Since the Loiselle and the Drouin marriage indexes to Catholic marriages are the only indexes to all of Quebec, it is usually necessary to know the name of a Catholic couple who were married in Quebec or to know a location where your ancestors lived to begin research. I am willing to search U.S. records which might lead to a location in Quebec for your immigrant ancestor or the name of his or her parents (marriage records, death records, county histories, naturalization records, etc.) if you have not already done so. It is usually best to glean all possible information from U.S. records before attempting to make the jump over the border into Quebec.

Ana Maria Hernando makes paintings, drawings and prints with a layering of natural and formal elements. Designs taken from the mantillas and mantones worn for church and the festivities of her Spanish background are blended with images of plants and insects. Hernando says these are reminders of the playfulness of sensuality and spirituality, the fullness and the sparseness, the rules and the inspirations.
Hernandos most recent prints are Night Flower I and Night Flower II. In these prints Hernando has created rich and expressionistic backgrounds using deep metallic inks and rich blacks juxtaposed with vivid florescent colored flowers.
Ana Maria Hernando has shown her work in Argentina and the United States. In 2011 she had a one person exhibition at the Kemper at the Crossroads, Kansas City, MO.
In 2005, she was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, in Colorado. In 2009 she created an installation made from colorful Peruvian hand-crocheted petticoats for the Projects Gallery at MCA Denver. She participated in the Denver Biennial 2010 with two installations within the Liberadores/Liberators exhibition at the Museo de las Americas, Denver.
Her work is in private and corporate collections, including The Tweed Museum of Art, Duluth; MN, Fidelity Investments, Boston, MA; Hallmark Corporation, Kansas City, MO; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI and the Fundacion Banco Patricios, in Buenos Aires.

With the recent release of the AMD 690G platform, AMD has cemented their leadership in the integrated video market with the other players in the market using 2 year old chips that are due to be replaced (GeForce 6100) or having so many problems with games that it is almost impossible to recommend their motherboard chipset (Intel GMA 3000.) Integrated graphics on the motherboard make up the vast majority of motherboard sales, as the market share numbers of Intel, NVIDIA and ATI suggest over the years.
Elite Computer Systems (ECS) is a Taiwanese manufacturer. They along with virtually every other motherboard manufacturer decided to make boards based upon ATI's new 690G chipset. Over 30 models have been announced, making it numerically an important board as it is the first AMD chipset in a very long time. The board on the test station today is the ECS AMD690GM-M2 V1.0A board.

Foreword, Senator Abraham Ribicoff
Basic Guide to Pesticides is a fitting tribute to the memory of Rachel Carson. It covers all that people need to know about some 700 pesticides and their contaminants. This book is important in dealing with environmental problems both in general and in individual cases.
Rachel Carson's gifts as both poet and scientist turned Silent Spring into an eloquent book. Because of her, we undertook landmark hearings in the U.S. Senate that aroused Congress and the nation to the dangers she described. Her purpose, she told me before she died, was to call attention to the ever-increasing contamination of our environment by various pollutants and the impact of this contamination on the balance of nature, global in scope and detrimental to all mankind.
This present book is a guide for humanity as a whole. Ultimately, if we fail to use chemicals properly, we will injure deeply all nature and mankind.

Blogger Mandy gives another update from 'Eclipse' set!
[Disclaimer: This post really has nothing to do with Robward; just wanted to post that pic again.]
Malicious Mandy has once more updated her blog to let us know what was filmed on Eclipse today! The Cullens and wolves (the A-unit) were shooting at a location that she couldn't get to (most likely the Jasper training scenes?), so she watched the B-unit film, which included Riley (Xavier Samuel), Bree (Jodelle Ferland) and the newborns! See the details after the jump!
B-Unit Set
Here is what I observed:
# Vampires emerging from the water.
# Vampires had wet suits on underneath "street clothes."
# Some vampires were in suits, others in hoodies and pants.
# One of the vampires (leading the pack) was Riley.
# They shot from every angle imaginable.
# There was a hot tub on set for between shots.
# Bree was on set (Jodelle Ferland) and I actually saw her along with other vampire extras when I used the public bathroom.
# They had red contacts that made their eyes look absolutely evil.
# They had white make-up on their faces and visible upper body parts.
# Riley had a brown hoodie on.
# There were two bald vampires.
# Riley is the first to come out of the water, then the other vampires (simply numbered off during the shoot) emerge.
# They walk out of the water and onto the shore.
Based on these observations
I think this is around or just before Ch 25 (Mirror) [Read summary at Twilight Lexicon] when the New Borns (led by Riley) come to Forks. I think (as often happens) the movie has changed from the book a bit to allow an easy and stunning visual of the New Born Army arriving on the shore of Forks to take over.
Thanks to Mandy for the updates!
Thanks to Twifans!

Flooding latest: Firefighters keep water at bay as towns brace themselves for more rain (From This Is Wiltshire)
Flooding latest: Firefighters keep water at bay as towns brace themselves for more rain
Updated 1:35pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in By Katie Smith
A fire crew from Bradford on Avon spent three hours pumping out water from the Bull Pit last night after it seeped through the newly installed flood defences.
On Thursday night, barriers were placed in the Bull Pit, which has an uneven surface, and despite efforts to block the gaps with sandbags, water still passed through.
The Environment Agency has been monitoring river levels and called the fire service when water started to breach the barriers last night. The crew from Bradford on Avon was there for three hours and left at midnight.
Yesterday a second set of barriers were set up on the opposite side of the river in Westbury Gardens, but as of this morning water has not breached the river wall.
Bristol City Council supplied both flood defences and helped put them up with the Environment Agency.
Meanwhile traffic is building up in the town due to emergency repairs to a manhole cover. Temporary traffic lights were set up outside Westbury Gardens yesterday and will remain in place until repairs take place.
Malmesbury appears to have escaped the worst last night as there have been no major reports of flooding, but the town, along with Bradford on Avon and the rest of Wiltshire, is keeping a close eye on the weather forecast.

Botched Oklahoma execution stirs death penalty debate
The execution of convicted killer Clayton Lockett, 38, in Oklahoma went way off script Tuesday, leaving the man reportedly "writhing and bucking" and then "grimacing, grunting and lifting his head and shoulders entirely up from the gurney" after the doctor who administered drugs to sedate him and stop his breathing and heart had declared him unconscious.
In a stunning development, the execution was halted and a second execution was postponed after officials realized Lockett's "vein exploded" and a new cocktail of drugs didn't work as planned. Lockett died of a heart attack 43 minutes after the drugs started to flow, and a debate over capital punishment began almost immediately.
Emotional comments accumulated on websites from the Tulsa World to USA Today to the U.K.'s Daily Mail. Read on, take our poll and weigh in below: Should capital punishment be abolished?
As for what Lockett did to get the death penalty, he was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and watching two accomplices bury her alive in 1999 when he was only a few years older than her.
USA Today: Botched execution could slam brakes on death penalty
Ricky Theil: Doesn't sound botched, to me.
Larry Richards: I agree, it did the job it was expected to do. I think this is exaggerated and he most likely was not even aware.
John Tortorici: "Somebody died because of the state's incompetency," Dieter says. Sounds like success in my book. Didn't he kill someone to end up on that table in the first place? Did that person get to choose how to die? I say make it more painful and maybe people will think twice before they kill someone.
Jeff Schatzman: You make it sound as if the death penalty actually deters crime. It doesn't.
Dave McKenzie: Not in the US it doesn't. We have far too many people concerned more with the rights of the murderers than the victims.
Joe Siegel: You're sick! Capital punishment is barbaric.
Ricky Theil: The death penalty isn't about deterring crime. It's about taking out the trash.
Lyle Stavast: My first thought when I read the headline about the extended period it took for him to die was the fact they'd buried a girl who was still alive. I'm not big on vengeance, but sure was an interesting parallel if not karma...
Wm. Ocheltree: They should "botch" all of them.
G. Sam Sloss: Only people who have a total trust in their government should be for giving that government the ultimate power to kill its citizens.
Should capital punishment be abolished?
Yes 28% (630)
No 72% (1594)
2224 total votes.
Tulsa World: Eyewitness account: A minute-by-minute look at what happened during Clayton Lockett's execution
Kitty Ang: Next execution can we get a second-by-second account??? the crowds yell, please! please! please! No lions to mangle to the man, just flawed drugs to titillate the journalists in hopes of selling more newspapers.
Chris Douglas: How about a minute by minute look at what happened during his VICTIM'S execution ? How about her?
Jonathan Schwarz: Reporters attend an execution out of a sense of duty that has been fundamental to the development of our Nation. Freedom of the press was considered so valuable that our Founders put it in the Bill of Rights, right along the free speech, religion, right to bear arms, and something about no cruel and unusual punishment, as other examples.
Dianna Smith: Witnessed executions by the media are as old as the death penalty itself. This is the one and only way the citizens of the United States can be sure their Constitution and their laws are being followed. I appreciate Ziva and ANY reporter who puts themselves thru the emotional trauma of watching a person be killed, in order to inform us that our rights as citizens have or have not been followed.

Amazon buys Siri rival Yap
Kindle Fire could be an even bigger threat to Apple
ONLINE BOOKSTORE Amazon is expanding further into the mobile device arena with the acquisition of Siri rival Yap, putting it in even more direct competition with Apple.
The voice-activated personal assistant software will most likely go into Amazon's Kindle or Kindle Fire devices, but could also be used in a smartphone if the company decides to go in that direction.
Interestingly, Amazon has been trying to keep quiet about the acquisition. The filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) showed that Yap was acquired by one Yarmuth Dion. Further inspection by the CLT blog showed that Dion's address is, in fact, the address of Amazon's headquarters in Seattle.
Amazon has refused to comment on the news, but Allthingsd reports that it confirmed the acquisition independently. It is not yet clear how much Amazon paid for Yap.
Amazon's upcoming entry into the tablet market with its Kindle Fire device is widely seen as an aggressive expansion of its business, which could pay off considerably, particularly considering the success of the Kindle ebook readers and Amazon's other ventures, such as its high volume online book and music stores.
Apple's latest device, the Iphone 4S, touts the Siri personal assistant as one of its primary selling points, and it's a feature that rival Android devices lack. That situation could be solved with Amazon and Yap, however, considering that the Kindle Fire runs Android. It is likely, however, that Amazon will keep Yap exclusively on its devices, forcing Google and other Android partners to find another Siri clone.
Amazon will launch the Kindle Fire in the US on 15 November. A UK launch date has yet to be announced. µ

Thunder 113, Grizzlies 107
The win ended a three-game losing streak for the Thunder.
After a slow start, Durant scored 17 points in the third quarter to help the Thunder (44-15) take a 87-71 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies cut the lead to four with 3:33 left but after guard Mike Miller missed a layup that would have trimmed the deficit to two, Durant made them pay with a step-back jumper.
Memphis forward James Johnson answered with a three-pointer to make the score 105-102 though center Marc Gasol missed an easy shot while Durant was guarding him and the Oklahoma forward then responded by slotting a corner jumper to push the Thunder advantage to five.
Thunder guard Russell Westbrook scored 21 points in 29 minutes.

Warriors 126, Knicks 103

The Bulls (32-26) won for the eighth time in nine games and snapped the Mavericks' four-game win streak.
Dallas (36-24) raced to a 15-point lead in the first quarter, scoring 32 points before Chicago buckled down, allowing 22 points in the second quarter, 22 in the third and just nine through the first 10:56 of the fourth quarter.

It's interesting to watch how fortunes change. For a while, it looked like John Madden would never be able to match the critical and commercial acclaim of "Shakespeare In Love," with a string of ill-received and underperforming films like "Proof," "Killshot" and "The Debt." Which brings us to 2012. Madden is back on top with "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," which has brought in over $110 million worldwide, so no surprise he's now attached to a film with one of the hottest -- literally and figuratively -- actresses of the moment.
While at one time it had Kevin Macdonald attached, Madden will helm "Murder Mystery" with Theron set to co-star and co-produce the film penned by "Zodiac" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" writer James Vanderbilt. The comedy mystery follows an American couple on honeymoon in Europe who have to go on the run after witnessing and being accused of murder, and are drawn into a web of international intrigue. Said to be a deconstruction of the Agatha Christie whodunit, former producer A.J. Dix had described it "pure entertainment. It's exciting, suspenseful and romantic." We say former because the project, once set up at Disney, is now in the hands of Tower Hill with William Shively producing alongside Vanderbilt, Tripp Vinson, Beau Flynn and Endgame Entertainment's James D. Stern.
No word yet on when it will roll, and Madden could be waiting a while. Theron is gearing up to shoot "Fury Road" next month and she's slowly building up a slate of potential projects, including "Agent 13" with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" director Rupert Wyatt. But it will be nice to see Theron go back to pure comedy mode, something she hasn't really done since "Arrested Development" ("Young Adult" kind of, we suppose) and this has a high enough concept to keep it interesting. At the very least, it can't be worse than "The Tourist." [THR]

Braun, Marcou Named To New England All-Star Team
April 2, 2010
AMHERST, Mass. - Justin Braun and James Marcou have been named to the 2009-10 New England Hockey Writers All-Star Team as announced on Friday morning. The All-Star Team is selected by voting from Division I coaches and media throughout New England. Braun was given the Bob Monahan Award as the region's top defenseman. This marks the second straight season Marcou has been named to the All-Star Team.
The pair will be honored along with the rest of the All-Star Team on April 13 at the Prince Restaurant in Saugus, Mass.
Carter Hutton (UMass Lowell) and Brian Foster (New Hampshire) were named New England's top goalies. Along with Braun, Blake Kessel (UNH), Colby Cohen (Boston University) and Tom Dignard (Yale) were named to the defense. Marcou, Bobby Butler (UNH), Gustav Nyquist (Maine), Brian Gibbons (Boston College), Nick Johnson (Sacred Heart), and Broc Little (Yale) were named as the team's forwards.
Following UMass' season, both Braun and Marcou signed with the NHL's San Jose Sharks. Braun was a 2007 Entry Draft Pick of the Sharks organization.
For the season, Braun, a native of Vadnais Heights, Minn., played in all 36 games scoring eight goals while adding 23 assists. He finished the year with a plus-3 rating while taking just 15 penalties for 30 PIMs. He was named the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the Hockey East All-Star First Team.
Braun finished his career playing in 150 games which tied Cory Quirk '09 for the school record. In all, Braun scored 23 goals, added 65 assists, and was a plus-12. His 88 points are tied for 18th all-time, while his 65 assists are 7th overall.
In Hockey East, Braun ranked second in defenseman scoring, 20th overall in points for the season, ninth in assists, sixth in power play points (3-16-19). Nationally, he ranked sixth in defenseman scoring.
In 2008-09, Braun was named a Hockey East Second-Team All-Star and the UMass MVP. As a freshman in 2006-07, he earned league and team Rookie of the Year honors. Additionally, in each of his three seasons, Braun has been a nominee for the Hobey Baker Award.
Marcou led UMass in scoring for the third straight season after posting 11 goals and a school single-season record 40 assists. His 51 points were the fourth most in program history for a season, while his 96 career assists is a new UMass record.
He finished the season tied for fourth nationally in points per game and first in assists per game. In Hockey East, Marcou ranked second in points, second in assists and first in power play points (4-22-26)
In 111 career games, the native of Kings Park, New York scored 34 goals and added 96 assists.
For much of the year, Marcou led the nation in points and assists and was a front-runner for the Hobey Baker Award. The assistant captain was a two-time nominee for the award and a three-time nominee for the Walter Brown Award.
In 2008-09, he was named to the New England Hockey Writers All-Star Team, the Hockey East All-Star First Team, the Hockey East All-Academic Team, and was named UMass Co-MVP with Braun. He became the first-ever UMass player to finish the year as the Hockey East scoring champion alongside Colin Wilson of Boston University.
As a rookie in 2007-08, Marcou earned Hockey East All-Rookie Team, Hockey East All-Academic Team, and UMass Rookie of the Year honors.

CASPER, Wyo. — A Scottsdale concert promoter accused of writing a bad check to the Steve Miller Band for a 2008 show in Casper has pleaded guilty to one count of felony check fraud.
A prosecutor says Robert A. Green entered his plea Tuesday before District Court Judge Thomas Sullins in Casper.
Authorities say the 48-year-old Scottsdale man didn't have enough money in his bank account to cover a $90,600 check he wrote to the band for performing in November 2008.
District Attorney Michael Blonigen says the plea agreement calls for Green to reimburse the band the total or an amount the band agrees to.
Green is free on bond while awaiting sentencing.

Prison Reform Bill Passes
Measure intended to help ease the jail crowding problem
April 13, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia House passed a bill Friday to reform the state's critically overcrowded prison system, a day after the family of a man killed in a regional jail in January said......

The prisons are overcrowded with drug users who turn to crime to support their addiction and they are getting extremely long (20 years to life) sentences. 20 years to life is typically what a person gets sentenced for murdering another human being. This does not make sense to me. The drug addicts need to be placed in a separate facility where recovery is the focus. Then we have the methadone clinic and pain clinics popping up (do we have a need for 24 hour a day pain clinics?) and are filled to capacity with addicts who want drugs and are willing to follow an assisted management program to obtain these drugs. I believe both are covered by medical insurance. How is it that these drug pushers are allowed to stay open and continue holding people hostage? It is the responsibility of the community to watch for these drug pushers and report to authorities any drug activity seen. No longer can we turn a blind eye to individuals and businesses who continue to ruin society for their personal

Fire up Old Sparky, that should open up a few hundred beds. In all honesty I have absolutely no sympathy for those in jail. Put them in pink undies and house the least violent in a tent. As for Jaquan or what ever his ************* name is, we need a Judge to rule his case superfilous and not even brought to any type of hearing.

I am so tired of the let the weed smokers out nonsense. No one ever goes to jail for smoking weed. If it were true the longest sentence would be ninety days. What this bill will really do is release a bunch of drug addicted thieves out onto the community. The resulting loss from assaults and property crimes will be much greater than building two prisons. Dumb idea, real dumb.

whg,i agree.the people that commit drug related crimes should be jailed but not the users.the people that are running these so called pain clinics are causing a lot of problems.too many pills out there.people that smoke weed will rarely ever commit crimes to support their habits.they generally aren't violent people.whiskey drinkers are.it's real hard to condemn drug users when i've seen so many lives ruined by alcohol.and our government allows this.weed and alcohol are two totally different animals.

Hello all,
I was running the beta of zimbra on a internet facing server and last week it got hacked. It looks like only zimbra got hacked as apache and bind were untouched. When I deleted and reinstalled (without performing an actual uninstall) I got the following from the install output:
Setting defaults... MX: grey-area.mailhostingserver.com (18.104.22.168)
MX: grey-area.mailhostingserver.com (220.127.116.11)
Interface: 64.251.xx.xx
Interface: 64.251.xx.xx
Interface: 127.0.0.1
Now, the first two interfaces were correct, as is 127 obviously. but the others were NOT mine, nor was the MX default correct. And I couldn't figure out where it was pulling this data from. But either way, i did an actual uninstall and reinstalled.
Now, it WAS the beta of 5, I believe. and I have since upgraded to the final and reinstalled and all is well. But now I worry about my mail server security.
Aside from fire walling the server (which I already have) what other steps can be taken to prevent this from happening again?
I'm not blaming zimbra for the hack, I'm certainly not a genius when it comes to this stuff anyway. But I'd like to take steps to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Two students are accused of stealing computers from a Wayne County high school.
Demonta Bowden of La Grange and Eric Hamm of Goldsboro are charged with felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.
Deputies say three netbook computers, valued at $1,020, were stolen from a classroom at Eastern Wayne High School.
It's not known whether the two students also face disciplinary action from the school system. Attempts to reach Wayne County Schools were unsuccessful as the school system is closed on Fridays.
