You Can Now Add Emergency Contacts To Your Driver's License For Faster and Proper Notifications In An Emergency
This release is a forward of information released by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles yesterday. We beleive that this is a fantastic program that will indeed save lives and get timely information to family and loved ones during an emergency.
SCDMV announced a new online transaction that allows customers with a driver's license, beginner's permit or identification card to enter emergency contact information on the DMV website.
In the event of a collision or other medical emergency, law enforcement will have access to this information and may provide it to emergency medical personnel. We believe that this contact information will not only save lives, but ensure loved ones are immediately informed of potentially traumatic incidents.
To enter emergency contact information, visit the SCDMV website at www.scdmvonline.com and select Public Services from the Online Services menu. You may designate two individuals as emergency contacts by entering their name, address and telephone numbers.
You may change or update their information at any time by logging on to the system. We recommend that you add the information for your underage children, talk to your spouses about adding emergency contact information and help your elderly parents who do not have internet service enter their information.

Lautner Also Attached To 'Bourne'-Esque Spy Vehicle
With filming now underway on the final "Twilight" movie, the two-part werewolf-falls-in-love-with-a-baby extravaganza that is "Breaking Dawn," the franchise's three leads are starting to look to their careers beyond the confines of Forks, Washington. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are, to their credit, trying to work with top talent on high-class projects, with the former signing last week to star in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis," while the latter will appear, most likely looking bored and sleepy, in Walter Salles' adaptation of Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" later in the year.
But the one actor that Hollywood is pinning their hopes on being the true breakout star is Taylor Lautner, who plays the frequently shirtless werewolf Jacob. The actor has his first solo lead coming up later in the year in the thriller "Abduction," and signed to play Hasbro's toy "Stretch Armstrong" for a hefty $7.5 million last year, although the project won't roll until 2012 at the earliest. Instead, the actor will next topline "Incarceron," an adaptation of a hit young adult novel by Catherine Fisher set up at Fox 2000.
Following a teenager on a futuristic prison planet who romances the daughter of the warden, there's a script from "Moby Dick" writers Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, and now Deadline has word that the film's likely to move forward this year, and that candidates are starting to appear for the female lead, Claudia. Blake Lively, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson are said to be the frontrunners for the role, an impressive, if perhaps overly optimistic collection of names.
Lively's star is firmly on the rise, and we'd be surprised if she was interested, while Lawrence is about to pick up an Oscar nomination, and Watson has enough money to never have to work again, so unless the script is remarkably strong, it seems unlikely that any of them will sign on -- this seems like a wishlist rather than anything else. But we suppose stranger things have happened.
The actor's other project that seems likely to turn over in 2011 is a spy film set up at New Regency, described, predictably, as ""The Bourne Identity" for the next generation." Apparently based on the life of Julal Aviv, who also partially inspired "Munich," it'll be produced by Lautner and Alexandra Milchan, the daughter of New Regency founder Aron Milchan. The project's currently untitled -- we'd politely suggest "Munich Babies."
If neither move forward, however, the world and its mother is trying to court Lautner -- Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes are said to want to make a project with the actor; the producer of another young adult book movie vehicle "Demon Wars" is wooing the star; and "Chicago" producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron want him for an untitled, unknown picture. Expect his schedule to firm up in the coming months. Even if he can't drink legally for another two years, it's good to be Taylor Lautner.

My top five April Fool's columns on SiouxSports.com
As most of you have already figured out, yesterday's blog post "Audio from 'The Timeout' available for the first time" was an April Fool's joke.
As I sat and watched the comments roll in, I was reminded of my favorite April Fools' columns and thought I would share them with you again today.
2008: "T.J. Oshie signs with the St. Louis Blues and gives up a chance to compete with North Dakota at the Frozen Four" (link no longer available)
2009: "Rule Change: Ties in the Frozen Four to be decided by shootout"
2010: "REA to cut beer sizes and raise prices for 2010-11 season"
2011: "NCAA to drop nickname settlement and sanctions altogether if UND wins hockey championship"
2012: "Audio from 'The Timeout' available for the first time"
Which are your favorites? More to the point: Which, at the time, did you fall for?

Visit Take Her Easy
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
At the one holiday resort I've gone to multiple times at this point, the staff always have a saying whenever they're trying to get us guests off our sun-drenched and rum-soaked butts. "Hey, everybody! Don't be lazy, let's go crazy!" Then they normally try to get various North Americans and Europeans to do their infamous beach-club dance that somewhat resembles the Macarena. I was reminded of all that when I saw the various slogans for TakeHerEasy, like "It's this easy being sleazy!"
You'll see sultry beauties like Sunny Leone, but she's not looking to be slowly lured into bed. In fact in one of her shoots among the 97 high-def videos, she appears on the scene sporting a strapon ready to fuck a sweet, wet pussy alongside a hung stud who's simultaneously fucking another chick. It's like a battle of the dicks - flesh versus plastic. The guy really has to work hard to keep up with Sunny, who gives a compelling performance as the butch but beautiful lipstick lesbian.
You'll also get to check out 200 photo sets. You will find one spread for each of the 103 hotties that they've listed in the model index. These normally show you a bit of softcore posing and they also post sets alongside each of the videos. However, while the ones with the vids are high-res, there looks to be some technical difficulties with the model index ones.
Clicking on them to make them bigger just keeps them stuck in the smaller window, so all you see is a small portion of the photo. I also had some issues when streaming the vids. The Flash player cut out and the vid wouldn't play past a certain point at times. Hopefully these issues will be worked out soon. Thankfully you can download everything and there were no problems there.
You also get three bonus sites, including Pussy Eating Club and Petite Teen Confessions. These additional sites certainly add value to your membership as long as you can appreciate a healthy mix of solo, lesbian and hardcore sex. Take Her easy has enough content to make it worth joining and a new episode is being added weekly.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I made the Amish Sugar Cookies, tied them up with the book and added a flouncy bow. I had the heart-shaped measuring spoons and thought it made a nice finish to the gift. I knew I wanted to give it to Eva, a special little girl from our church. Eva lives with two brothers but still enjoys all things girly. She writes me sweet notes. Besides that, she loves books and you know how I feel about that! I wish I would have taken a picture of her with the gift. Her daddy is the sound guy at church so I just put it in the sound room. When she came to thank me after church I told her she could share the cookies with her brothers. She said, "I think there are 12 cookies." I loved it.
When I saw how cute the gift turned out, I immediately ordered another book. This one goes to another little girl from church, Katie. Her parents have only been coming to our church for a year, but they are such a blessing. Her father plays his trombone and they are sweet parents. Katie sang, "I Want to Marry Daddy" for Father's Day. It was so special and touching, too, when her daddy wiped his tears.
The Amish Sugar Cookie recipe is from my long-time friend, Sue. Her sons attended the school RB was principal of when we lived in Bedford. She knew I loved these cookies so whenever she made them she would send a few to me with her sons. Sue is so artistic with everything she touches so they were always tied with ribbon and had one of her tiny notes attached. There is a sugar cookie recipe in the back of the book, but I didn't try it since it's hard to improve on perfection. And to me, that's what the Amish cookies are to me.
The depression glass sugar bowl I use to press the cookies with was the one my mother used. It was handed down from my Grandma Cessna. I get delight by using it because of the nostalgic feeling it raises, but I also smile because every time my siblings are reminded "I have the sugar cookie bowl," I hear, "I can't believe you bummed that off mom. She loves you best." Believe me, they don't mean it, but it's fun anyway. After all, I am the one that collects pink depression glass!
The book cost has gone up, but my cost for this gift was $6.20. The measuring spoons were from JoAnns for $1.00. I was trying to find the book cheaper than the $9.35 it is now and found this adorable video clip. So whip up a batch of sugar cookies. It makes a lot, so I have two tiny bags to take to church for 2 elderly couples. And yes, like Sue's, they are tied with ribbon.
In large mixing bowl, cream sugars, margarine, oil and eggs together. Sift dry ingredients together, then add to creamed mixture. Blend well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, flatten with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes about six dozen.

I couldn't resist it. My partner at work got one a week ago, and wouldn't stop talking it up, so I chunked down $348 + tax at Wally World, and dang, was that a great purchase.
I have small hands, so the keyboard is doable, and with 1GB RAM and 120GB memory, I can do everything I need to get done in a computer. While I was at Wal-Mart, I picked up a $20 8GB USB stick, and I was ready to rock and roll.
The only major drawback I could find was the lack of a CD/DVD drive. Thus the USB stick; I download whatever I need to transfer onto the stick from my desktop computer, and transfer it to the netbook.
This thing is quiet, runs cool and is durable, with no major moving parts inside to break. It's about 10" by 6" so I can throw it nearly anywhere and take it with me. Battery life is over an hour; I plan on getting a second, longer life battery if I can, so I can use it on the airplane, or wherever I need.
One last thing: The webcam is the heat. Really clear, and fast. This is the single most useful bit of tech kit I've purchased in the last few years.
I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details
I was asking about them about a week ago... where were you then???
I'm planning on going out and getting one on Monday.

I use a Dell laptop at work, normally, and the wifi on the acer gets "excellent" reception where the Dell gets "good".
The screen looks more like a 8 x 6 to me, right now, but it is absolutely crystal clear.

Given that just about everyone we know subscribes to Netflix, the streaming site can probably get away with charging more for their goods. A couple months ago Amazon Prime announced its annual fee would jump by $20 beginning in 2015. Now Netflix intends to raise its subscription price for new customers by $1 or $2 per month.
Clearly Netflix is putting a lot of bank into its original content -- like pricey "House of Cards," and "Orange Is the New Black" -- and, per the Wall Street Journal, the subscription raise would go towards not only that continued output, but higher quality content. And their popular $7.99 per month streaming plan hasn't taken a price jump since 2011; similarly, Amazon's Prime hasn't increased in several years either.
Even after the price bump goes into effect, current subscribers would reportedly stay at the $7.99 price point for "a generous time period."
At this point Netflix has about 48 million global customers, having added about 4 million new subscribers in the first quarter of 2014.
Meanwhile, even though the company has made a deal to pay Comcast to gain access to a more direct internet connection, now Netflix chief Reed Hastings has made clear his strong opposition to the cable operator's $45 million merger bid to take over Time Warner Cable, saying that it would give them "anti-competitive leverage."

why has there little to no discussion re jerry sands who was part of the deal with LA. He appears to e exactly what the sox are looking for since he is young 25 , plays corner outfield positions, and first base. Big kid over 6 ft 220 with strong arm, power bat.Drove in over 100 runs with 26 home runs and named to Pacific League allstar team. Mattingly felt this kid had great potential. Has anyone seen any red sports writers doing any piece on this kid?
Notice: All Boston.com forums will be retired as of May 31st, 2016 and will not be archived. Thank you for your participation in this community, and we hope you continue to enjoy other content at Boston.com.

If he hits 2 homeruns in his first series with the Sox, he will be anointed the next one!
John Sickels only gave him a C / C+ let's hope he is wrong.
Jerry Sands, OF-1B: The 24-year-old Sands exceeded rookie qualifications in 2011, hitting .253/.338/.389 in 198 at-bats for the Dodgers. He's hit well in Triple-A, including a .303/.380/.531 mark this year with 24 homers for the Albuquerque Isotopes, although the park/league environment boosts his raw stats. Sands has legitimate sock in his bat, although he doesn't project as a star player given his limits to the corners defensively. I think he can be a useful role player. Grade C/C+ type.
Re: Jerry Sands
posted at 10/27/2012 3:13 PM EDT
It will be interesting to see what he does in FL in the spring. A lot of people think his power numbers are somewhat inflated from playing in the PCL.
Re: Jerry Sands
posted at 10/27/2012 3:22 PM EDT
From SoxProspects via ESPN Boston:Jerry Sands -- He is a first baseman and corner outfielder acquired from Los Angeles in the Adrian Gonzalez megadeal, so it might be shortchanging Sands to list him as emergency depth. He hit .296 with 26 home runs for Triple-A Albuquerque in 2012, after hitting 35 home runs in 2010 and 29 home runs in 2011. While he still has an option year left, he may be in Boston's plans as a full-time major leaguer in 2013. The problem is that he's yet to prove himself against major league pitching, and many scouts believe he will have problems with advanced off-speed stuff. Over the long term, he profiles as a solid bench player with the ability to fill in as a starter during extended stretches.
Re: Jerry Sands
posted at 10/27/2012 4:38 PM EDT
Mattingly felt this kid had great potential.
You can pretty much say anything, but the fact that Mattingly didn't want to play says a lot. Rivera and Abreu are replacement level players and got ~ 600 PAs. Sands got 24 PAs. That tells the real story.
Re: Jerry Sands
posted at 10/27/2012 9:22 PM EDT
The PCL inflates offensive stats and always has. Hitting 26 HRs and .296 in the PCL is similar to 16 HRs and .266 in the International league. He has a shot t 1B, because the Sox are weak there. But it is an outside shot at best and if he develops into anything more than bench depth it will be a truly pleasant and unexpected surprise to most.

Rubby and Webster were the players that made this deal work. DeJesus and Sands are throw ins with some potential.

School academic scores drop across the state
Still, two Cape Henlopen elementary schools excelled. Milton Elementary School, under academic review last year, is rated superior this year, as is Shields Elementary School. H.O. Brittingham Elementary maintained its commendable rating, while Rehoboth Elementary slipped from superior to academic review. The Sussex Consortium is rated commendable this year, having been rated superior last year.
The district's middle and high schools did not fare as well. Beacon Middle School is under improvement this year, and Mariner Middle School slipped from commendable to academic review.
Beacon's lower scores are directly related to the way special education scores were counted; Mariner's scores for special education also dropped, but in addition, the school's low socioeconomic group did not meet federal targets in math.
The high school will come under more state control for its trend of poor accountability ratings. Cape Henlopen School District accountability supervisor Robert Fulton said changes in the way state tests were administered to special education students is part of the reason for lower ratings across the state. "The scores are what they are. The way the test was administered had an effect on everyone for overall results and for accountability as well," he said.
The Department of Education reported 20 percent fewer superior schools statewide and 50 percent fewer commendable schools than last school year. Superior and commendable are the highest school accountability ratings. At the same time, the number of schools with the lowest ratings – academic review and academic progress – increased.
Special education changes
This year, Delaware sharply curtailed the use of a read-aloud provision by which special education students could have portions of their state tests read to them. Previously, scores of students whose tests were read out loud to them did not count toward a school's total score. But, this year, the scores of those students who had previously been read to counted toward the school's overall score.
All students, including special education students, are expected to meet targets, Fulton said. "If one group doesn't meet a target, the whole school misses the standard, if there are at least 40 students in that subgroup," he said. Subgroups include special education, low income and racial groups.
He praised H.O. Brittingham staff, saying the school has five student cells that each had to meet standards in English and math.
Most schools struggled to meet standards for their special education students, Fulton said. "We had other areas of weakness, as well, but special education was the most prevalent with the most difficulty meeting the standards," he said.
Rising standards
In the 2009-10 school year, federal law required 79 percent of students as a whole and in each subgroup meet English standards and 67 percent meet math standards. Next year, those requirements jump to 84 percent in English and 75 percent in math. In 2014 all students must meet the standards.
Beacon Middle School was rated superior last year. This year it is under improvement because only 73 percent of special education students met the English standards and only 56 percent of special education students met the math requirements.
Mariner Middle School is rated lower, on academic review this year. There, 62 percent of special education students met English standards and 51 percent of special education students met math standards. Sixty-five percent of the school's low socioeconomic students met the math standard, missing the federal standard by just two percentage points.
The high school failed to meet targets for African-American and low socioeconomic students, Fulton said. Cape Henlopen High School is in academic watch and restructuring under an improvement plan, said Fulton. He said the longer a school is on academic watch, the more authority is put in the hands of the state and the district, not just the school.
"The state will be more involved with the high school, developing and approving our plans for improvement. Throughout the year, they'll check up on the plan and how it's being implemented," he said.
Delaware Secretary of Education Lillian Lowery said the clock is ticking on Delaware schools. Lowery said Race to the Top money will help Delaware schools make aggressive reforms. She said the department will rigorously review improvement plans from all state school districts, which are required for them to receive a cut of the funding. Accountability ratings are based on state testing results and are required by the 2001 federal law No Child Left Behind. Accountability is measured by the number of students in each of nine subgroups who meet standards.

About 126,000 without power across Oklahoma
About 126,000 Oklahomans are still without power Saturday after a winter storm knocked down power lines across the state. Residents in parts of west and southwest Oklahoma have been among the hardest hit by power outages and it could be days before power is restored to these areas. "For some it has been multiple days now without power. To help with that we know there are shelters set up in the affected areas," Ooten said. Residents in Comanche County, many of whom have been without power since Thursday, are staying optimistic, a county spokesman said. "We're keeping them informed of what efforts are going on," said Chris Killmer, public information officer for the county. "They're being patient and most people are being self-sufficient, whether that's waiting it out or going to a friend or family member's house." The city of Lawton and surrounding areas in Comanche County were hit hard by the storm. More than 42,000 people in the county were without power Friday afternoon, including about 34,000 people in the Lawton area. Power companies worked through the night Friday to restore power for about 40 percent of customers in the Lawton area by Saturday morning, Killmer said. More than 150 people spent the night in an emergency shelter in Lawton. Killmer said he hoped most of the people at the shelter would be able to return home Saturday night. Firefighters and city and county officials have been checking on elderly residents in their communities and keeping them informed, Killmer said. Kyla Campbell, Director for Communications for the Red Cross, asked those who live in areas without power to spread the word about shelters so communities will know they are being offered. Campbell said people should bring their own bedding as well as anything that makes them comfortable with them to shelters. "The morale remains pretty high in these areas. Oklahomans are always very resilient and they're wonderful to keep their spirit up," Campbell said. Ice accumulation on power lines has contributed to scattered power outages in the Oklahoma City area, city emergency manager Frank Barnes said. The Oklahoma City Fire Department is urging residents and businesses using generators to be careful and to keep them outside. "That's the big concern now is if people are using generators in other parts of the state, they do produce carbon monoxide so you want to make sure they're outside of the structure. Never use them inside or never use them even inside of a garage where those fumes could build up," Oklahoma City Battalion Chief Brian Stanaland said.

THE GAME: The Washington football team (6-2 overall, 4-1 Pac-12) hosts the final game at the current Husky Stadium this Saturday when Oregon (7-1, 5-0) visits for a 7:30 p.m. game Saturday night. The Ducks are ranked No. 6 in both polls, while Washington sits three spots from the top 25 in both. The game, which will feature a number of special ceremonies to mark the closing of the 92-year old facility for major renovations, will air live on ROOT Sports/FSN. Washington will play the Apple Cup and all of the 2012 season at the Seattle Seahawks' Century Link Field. After the game vs. Oregon, the Dawgs travel to face USC and Oregon State the next two weekends.
QUICK SNAPS: The Huskies are 6-2 overall and 4-1 in conference for the first time since 2001 ... tailback Chris Polk has rushed for 100 yards in seven of eight games this year and now has 18 career 100-yard games, a new school record ... last Saturday vs. Arizona, Polk tied the UW modern record by scoring five touchdowns and became the first player in UW history to top 100 yards in both rushing (144) and receiving (100) in the same game ... he also passed the 1,000-yard mark for a third straight season, joining Napoleon Kaufman as one of two Huskies ever to do that ... Polk is second on the UW career rushing yards list with 3,577 yards ... Polk ranks fifth in the nation in rushing (127.0 yards per game) ... UW quarterback Keith Price is tied for fifth in the nation with 23 touchdown passes ... 23 TD passes already ranks No. 4 in UW single-season history ... if Price were to maintain his current pass efficiency rating of 162.7, he would easily surpass the school record (153.8, Brock Huard, 1997) ... at .665, he's also well ahead of the UW season record for completion percentage (.650, Steve Pelluer, 1983) ... Price is eighth in the nation in pass efficiency ... Kevin Smith ranks ninth in the nation in kick returns while Cort Dennison leads the Pac-12 in tackles ... six true freshmen have played this year for the UW: S James Sample, TB Bishop Sankey, TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, DT Danny Shelton, OLB John Timu and WR Kasen Williams.
TELEVISION: The Washington-Oregon game will air live to a national audience on ROOT Sports (in the Northwest) and FSN (nationally). Craig Bolerjack, Joel Klatt and Petros Papadakis will provide the commentary. Additionally, "Huskies All-Access" airs each Wednesday evening on ROOT Sports. The program is an up-close look at each Husky game, with features, one-on-one interviews and sideline video.
RADIO: The Washington ISP Sports Network, with its flagship station KJR 950-AM, will carry the live broadcast of every football game on 16 Northwest radio stations. Longtime play-by-play man Bob Rondeau and color analyst Damon Huard are joined by sideline reporter Elise Woodward. Many game broadcasts will also be carried on SiriusXM Satellite Radio and can be heard over the internet at gohuskies.com. ESPN Radio will also broadcast the game nationally.
HUSKIES vs. DUCKS HISTORY: Washington leads the all-time series against the Ducks with 58 wins, 40 losses and five ties. While the series of games played in Eugene has the Ducks enjoying a 15-12 edge all-time (Oregon's home games vs. the UW were played in Portland for many years), the Huskies are 31-19-4 against their cross-border rivals in games played in Seattle. Washington has been a frequent visitor to Eugene in recent years. The 2009 game in Seattle was just the third in the decade while they've met at Autzen in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2010. The Ducks have had the edge of late, winning 12 of the last 16 against the Dawgs. The Huskies, however, have won 15 of the last 29 and 21 of the last 36. Last season in Eugene, UW QB Keith Price made his first college start in a 53-16 Husky loss. Oregon led 18-16 in the third quarter before pulling away. Two years at Husky Stadium, Oregon won, 43-19. Three years ago in Eugene in the season-opener for both teams, Jeremiah Masoli came off the bench and led the Ducks to a 44-10 win. In 2007 in Seattle, the Huskies and Ducks were tied at 31-31 after three quarters before Oregon pulled away in the final period for a 55-34 win. The Huskies' last win over Oregon was in 2003, when Shelton Sampson and Kenny James both rushed for over 100 yards in a 42-10 Husky victory. Washington and Oregon first met on the football field in 1900, a 43-0 Oregon win in Eugene. The Huskies got their first win in the series in the next meeting, a 6-5 victory in 1903. From 1974 to 1993, Washington won 17 of 20 meetings. The series also features one of the biggest year-to-year turnarounds in college football history as the Ducks beat the Huskies, 58-0, in 1973 and then lost at the UW, 66-0, the following year.
WASHINGTON-OREGON TIES: While there's barely any crossover between the UW and UO coaching staffs, many Husky and Duck players have played with or against one another in their high school days. On the coaching side, longtime Duck assistant Gary Campbell was on the coaching staff at Pacific for one season when UW defensive coordinator Nick Holt played there. Washington's current roster includes just one player from the state of Oregon: RS-freshman OL James Atoe, from The Dalles. The Ducks' roster lists three Washingtonians: OL Nick Cody (Brush Prairie/Hockinson), DL Nick Morrison (Everett/Cascade) and TE David Paulson (Auburn/Riverside) . A fair number of other Huskies and Ducks went to the same high school, mostly in California: UW kicker Erik Folk and Oregon PK Eric Solis both went to Notre Dame High near Los Angeles (Oregon's Kenjon Barner attended a different Notre Dame HS in southern California). Husky Gregory Ducre and Ducks De'Anthony Thomas and Terrell Turner all played at Crenshaw. Lastly, UW's Erik Kohler and Nick Montana both went to Oaks Christian High, same as Oregon's Anthony Gildon; while UW's Talia Crichton and UO's Rahim Cassell went to Lakewood High in southern California.
DAWGS AND THE NORTHWEST: Washington's oldest and longest rivalries are against the other three other northwest Pac-10 schools. The Huskies have faced Washington State 103 times, Oregon in 102 games and Oregon State on 95 occasions. Washington owns the advantage in all three series. The Huskies lead the Ducks 58-40-5, Washington State 66-31-6 and Oregon State 57-34-4. Combined, Washington has a 181-105-15 (.626) record against its northwest rivals. Washington has played all three of the Northwest teams in a season on 82 prior occasions. Over those 82 seasons in which Oregon, OSU and WSU were all on the UW schedule, the Dawgs have swept all three 28 times. In the meantime, the Huskies have lost to all three in the same season on only seven occasions.
10 OUT OF 12: Washington enters this week's game vs. Oregon having won 10 out of its last 12 games. The last time the Huskies had won 10 out of 12 was during the 2001 season, when Washington began the season 8-2 (they'd also won their last eight in 2000). That year, the Huskies won their first four games of the season (stretching a win streak from the previous season to 12 games) before losing at UCLA on Oct. 13, 2001. After that UCLA loss, Washington reeled off wins over Arizona, ASU and Stanford before falling at Oregon State.
THE PAC-12: This season, the Pac-10 Conference has added Utah and Colorado to expand to the Pac-12. Washington, which along with California is one of two schools who have been in the conference since its founding in 1915, will play in the Pac-12 North, along with the other three Northwest schools (Oregon, OSU, WSU) and Stanford and California. Under current plans, each school will play all five division rivals, plus four of six teams in the other division each season. This year, the Huskies will not face UCLA or Arizona State. The last time that Washington didn't face UCLA in a season was in 1992 (when the Pac-10 schedule was eight games). The UW didn't face Arizona State in 2003 or 2004.
CAPTAINS: At the end of the spring practice season, the four captains for the 2011 season, as voted by their teammates, were revealed. They are senior linebacker Cort Dennison (Salt Lake City, Utah), senior wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (Lakewood, Wash.), senior offensive tackle Senio Kelemete (Seattle, Wash.) and senior defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu (Kent, Wash.). Kelemete was also voted as a season captain in 2010. The team also names two game captains each game. Here's a list of those:
EWU: Cody Bruns, Greg Walker
Hawai'i: Desmond Trufant, Marlion Barnett
Nebraska: Travis Feeney, Everrette Thompson
California: Kevin Smith, Evan Zeger
Utah: Tim Tucker, Taniela Tupou
Colorado: Jamaal Kearse, Willis Wilson
Stanford: Will Shamburger, Corey Waller
Arizona: DiAndre Campbell, Thomas Tutogi
THE 100-YARD FACTOR: Since the 1947 season, Washington is 178-54-3 (.764) when a Husky player rushes for 100 yards in a game. So far this year, the UW is 5-2 in such games (Chris Polk has rushed for 100 in every game but vs. Cal).
HISTORY LESSON: Successfully rushing the football and winning go hand-in-hand for the Huskies. Since 1990, UW has rushed for 200 yards in a game 77 times. The Huskies' record stands at 65-12-1 (.851) in those contests. Since 1995, UW is 40-9-1 (.810) when rushing for 200 yards.
PLAYING AT HOME: Washington has gone unbeaten at home 13 times in its history, including six times in the last 21 seasons. UW has won 92 of its last 138 (.670) games at Husky Stadium with one tie (92-45-1). Since 1980, the Huskies stand 140-56-2 (.712) at home. Since 1990, the Huskies are 58-32-1 (.643) at Husky Stadium vs. Pac-10/Pac-12 opponents.
HUSKY STADIUM RENOVATION: Husky Stadium will undergo a massive renovation following the 2010 season. In fact, in order to aid the project, the Huskies will play this season's Apple Cup vs. Washington State Nov. 26 at CenturyLink Field (home of the Seahaws), meaning the Nov. 5 game vs. Oregon will be the final game in the "old" Husky Stadium. The Seattle icon was first opened in 1920. Upper decks were added in the 1950s (south) and 1980s (north). Renovations will completely remake the lower bowl and the south deck. The stadium track will be removed and an operations center for the football team will be built into the west end. For much more information, including a virtual look from every seat in the new stadium, photo galleries and more, go to huskystadium.com.
HISTORIC HUSKY STADIUM: The 2011 season marks the 92nd season of play in Husky Stadium. Original construction on the facility was completed in 1920 when Washington played one game in the new campus facility. Thanks to several major renovations, Husky Stadium's seating capacity has increased to its current total of 72,500. UW's all-time record in Husky Stadium currently stands at 357-168-21 (.673).

Thinking about getting into snowboarding next winter as a change of pace.
My favorite LBS also doubles as a ski/snowboard shop and I was a decent skateboarder waaay back in the day.
How many of you guys have tried it? Is there a snowboarder's forum as good as bike forums? Links please! I have no idea where to start on getting a decent starters snowboard. Is it like getting skis- the longer you get, the faster you go?

Share your reviews,
photos and videos here!
Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 weekPros:
-Nice polished look
-The body of the microscope is made of sturdy plastic
-The capture&measure software included are very similar to those included with professionnal digital microscope
-Comes with dimmable white LEDs
-Allows a wide range of zoom
-The zoom/focus adjustment roller "sticks" a little when doing fine adjustements
-The stand base is not perfectly flat making the microscope wobbling a little. Adding self sticking rubber pads on all three corners will probably solve the problem.
-The image compression and usb tranfer does not seems to allow a full 30fps making the video to lag when something is moved fast under the microscope.
-The zoom and focus are not independant, so one have to move the microscope closer to the specimen in order to really zoom in. It also takes more time to adjust precisely.
-Even if the microscope is plug&play, I suggest to install the software in order get the full functionnality.
-It makes a "snapshot" sound when taking a picture... I am not shure this is realy useful since you see the snapshot apearing in the screen.
Great value and a lot of functions for the price!
I recommand it for anyone or any labs that doesn't need an high end microscope or does not have a very high budjet.

A key decision facing autonomous systems with ac- cess to streams of sensory data is whether to act based on current evidence or to wait for additional information that might enhance the utility of tak- ing an action. Computing the value of informa- tion is particularly difficult with streaming high- dimensional sensory evidence. We describe a belief projection approach to reasoning about information value in these settings, using models for inferring future beliefs over states given streaming evidence. These belief projection models can be learned from data or constructed via direct assessment of param- eters and they fit naturally in modular, hierarchical state inference architectures.

Sharing a love of knitting - How my sister-in-law became my sister

Sharing a love of knitting
How my sister-in-law became my sister
I affectionately call my sister-in-law Allison sensei, a Japanese term for teacher, not because we are Japanese, but because it is a title of respect and I have the utmost admiration and appreciation for her, her life, and her fiber art. She has patiently and lovingly taught me how to knit and purl the stresses out of my life in a most beautiful and creative way. She gets me and has a magical approach of showing me (kinesthetic learner that I am) exactly how to understand the how and why of each technique, pattern, yarn, gauge, needle type and size everything. She has been knitting, constantly, for as long as Ive known her. And she finally won me over, for which I will always be grateful.
Allison, an amazingly talented nurse and educator, came to our home to be with us for the birth of her first niece or nephew (we wanted to be surprised!). We spent a lot of time together that week, but unfortunately, her niece was not ready to be born yet! Allison knit and waited and we played Backgammon and talked, but no birth pangs. I could not have had a better precursor to my first birthing than that. It really meant a lot to me and showed us how much she truly cared for us. I still have the little pink hat and mittens she lovingly knit that first Christmas, and all the other beautiful knitted gifts every year since.
Two years later my relationship began to deepen even further with Allison. She was in kidney failure and needed a transplant. My husband was the best match, so surgery was scheduled for July. It was an overwhelming situation and the outcome was totally out of our hands, but we tried to stay positive and prayed for successful surgeries and recoveries. Successful transplants usually last about 5-7 years; she is going on 25 years.
I was pregnant (first trimester - sick and tired) during the transplant. The next spring our son was born and Allison dropped everything to rush home to meet her new nephew (she wasnt going to fall for that due date thing again!). She immediately bonded with the sweet, little baby. You could tell how happy she was to be alive and feeling well, peacefully knitting and contentedly soaking in the new life hers and her nephews. I dont think she fully realized what a great stabilizing force she was in our lives.
Years later I finally gave in to her gentle encouragements and began knitting. And boy did I knit! Scarves, hats, hand warmers, felted bowls and gauntlets, and darling little baby sweaters for everyone! I had just gone through a very stressful restructuring at work and was completely exhausted. She taught me simple stitches and bought me my first needles. What a welcome balm of relieve and healing. It works wonders and its a mobile art form you can take anywhere and everywhere. Each time Allison comes home, she shows me new stitches and techniques, new patterns and tools, and she challenges me to take bigger steps. She nurtures my growth perfectly, almost instinctively, and knows when to push me a little bit harder. That is the essence of a true teacher; the perfect balance of patience and challenge.
Ive heard it said that You need to create art everyday, and being a creative person by nature and occupation, knitting provides the best medium for at-the-moment access to a project or two or three (you know what I mean ). I love the challenges of knitting and the discovery aspect that happens almost daily. The possibilities are endless with new yarns, patterns, stitches, techniques and needles continually being designed. I love going online and traversing the world for new ideas and exploring wonderful resources like Lion Brands site, which sparks inventiveness and excitement and provides direction and practical application with a personal touch. Now I know why she carried it with her all the time. Now I get it.
We only see each other once or twice a year (were 2578 miles apart), but we make the most of it. The rest of the time we email back and forth, me with questions, and Alison with answers and understanding. I email photos of my completed projects (much more complex now), stunned that I actually made them, and she always replies with enthusiasm. Her positive energy envelops me and makes me feel accepted and secure. Its such a good, good place to be, and it makes you want to be that kind of positive influence on others too. A circle of sisters knitted together with the yarns of love and acceptance. Knitting can be so much more than just a craft or form of fiber art it can be used to positively change lives and relationships forever.
Allison will be having another transplant this fall. This time it will be her younger brothers kidney. Again I pray for my sisters life, knowing how rich and whole she has made my life, as well as countless other sisters that she has lovingly fostered and awakened through her joy of knitting.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. ~Albert Einstein

Is it possible to change number off recent app
For example reduce it from 12 to 8 in recent app screen
If said this way the only way to reduce it is to simply swipe it away from recent apps. Are you worried about RAM? You shouldn't be worried about it. Android manages its ram kinda good.I usually run my device for months without clearing recent apps or restarting it.

I have been super lazy about riding. But I did go out about a month ago on my birthday and rode around.
It was a balmy mid 30's and drizzling, we had rain like crazy the previous few days so the trails were flooded, but I decided to head into the woods and get off the paved trail. It was a blast! Even made a new friend.....
The river is about 4' deeper (so 10-12 feet past it's banks).
There was an old trail that ran down from the paved bike path that is across the river from this picture. As a kid I remember stopping on the other side and wondering where the old bridge went to. Never knew until now!
And my friend Dan the Deer. He was just dying to be my friend.....
I am excited about the weather getting better. We just got snow and looks like we are getting some more. Unfortunately winter tires are not in the budget this year, so I will have to wait for clearer weather.

Maximum Crapacity
My daughter turned nine last week, and in the throes of planning her birthday party, the biggest question was not what type of cake to get, or how many pizzas, or what to give as party favors. Rather, the biggest question was: to gift, or not to gift?
The underlying issue here is that we've reached a point in our house of Maximum Crapacity. That's right. The amount of crap that my children own has hit critical mass, and I literally do not have room for a single additional item. As it is, my son's staunch refusal to throw away anything - including broken pieces of old, unidentifiable toys - could land him a starring role on that Hoarders show on A&E, and my mother's recent visit from Florida resulted in my daughter's floor being absolutely overtaken with shopping bags from Justice. Seriously, I've reached the point where I'm ready to take a construction claw to their closets. So when it came time to make the invitations for my daughter's party, I told her that I wanted to include a line asking for No Gifts, Please. Her response: what's a party with no gifts? It became, naturally, a Subject Of Heated Debate.
The thing is, though, there is nothing that either of my kids need, and the things they want (laptop, Nintendo DS, Xbox Knect) they're not going to get as birthday presents from their friends. Which brings me back to the crap issue. Now, I'm not saying that all birthday presents are crap, or that the things people give aren't lovely and thoughtful and appreciated. They are. It's just that my daughter doesn't need any of it. She has enough clothes to fill every closet in my house. If she grew thirty new heads, she still wouldn't be able to wear all of the Claire's earrings she has in this lifetime. She has unread books piled ten deep on her nightstand. They would need to change the Top 40 to the Top 1000 in order for her to find enough songs to use up the iTunes gift cards she got for Hanukkah in December. We have drawers filled with bags, scarves, hats, picture frames, potholders, lipgloss, friendship bracelets, bottle cap pins, and flip flops that she's made herself from those Make Your Own whatever kits, and more drawers filled with the remnants of Spooky/Gross/Sticky/Sweet Science Experiments. We even have a closet where I put birthday presents that haven't been used yet. The rule is, if they're still in the closet by the time Christmas rolls around, I give them away to Toys For Tots. Each year, I end up giving away a lot of presents. And before you start accosting me for spoiling her, please know that ninety percent of this stuff does not come from me, but rather from the doting grandparents and great-grandparents, the aunts and uncles, and the birthday presents from friends.
Risa, you are certainly not the only household at maximum crapacity. We try to give things away and still end up full. I have always been torn but the no gifts decision. I think it is so important for kids to learn to give. When we shop for a gift, it is a good opportunity to teach them to think of someone else. We reserve these trips just for shopping for the gift and they are not to ask for anything. (well, they might ask...) My daughter goes to a small school and it is customary for all the girls in the grade to be invited to the parties. This year, one of the girls asked for donations to the humane society. My daughter actually asked to do the same for her birthday this summer. I think she knows she will still get presents from family but was pretty glad she made the choice on her own. We will see what she thinks after the party!
Your solution sounds similar to one that a friend employed recently with her daughter.
Rather than have friends bring gifts for the birthday girl, each was asked to bring a new toy that would be donated to a local charity for kids in need. We intend to do something similar when my son turns 2 as he has so much, both new from family and hand-me-downs (often barely used) from my two nephews.
I like your suggestion as well, especially as a means to cull the excess.
This is such a tragic condition of our times. My home is also filled with junk from friends, relatives, and when I can't help myself at big box stores. The clutter drives me mad and is literally a barrier to my peace of mind. My kids are younger--4 and 1, but I'm a big fan of the "no gifts" policy. We started this way and will continue this way. Don't know what I'll do when my oldest figures out that we buy the gifts for friends' parties, but don't get them at his. Hopefully I'll have a less cluttered mind to think of something really good.
My daughter is only 4 and this year she had her first birthday party with her friends not just the family. I put down no gifts - just donations to a food pantry. She got both - only one parent actually agreed with me and her husband and kids went and bought a present anyway. Two of the moms thought I was joking. I love my child to death but she is an only child and in my parents' case and my husband's mom the only grandchild and she is the baby of 5 granddaughters for his dad so she is very spoiled. She has way too much and it scares me what her expectations will be later in life.

Wax Robots
Terminator 2 is one of my favorite science fiction movies. It has great action and a not-so-terrible plot, which is all I can really ask for in an action movie – seriously, Expendables, you cannot even give me that? – plus a very interesting villain. I mean, sure, the T-1000 is not exactly the most in-depth movie villain, but he is interesting. Composed entirely of liquid metal and thus able to alter its form at will, including comprising weapons out of its own body and regenerating form damage, this was a machine unlike any other machine I had ever seen. Until then, robots were always things like the Terminator itself – the Arnold one – or Robocop. The idea of a soft-form robot was entirely new to my young mind, and I found it both intimidating and fascinating all at once. Unlike the T-101, which was little more than a hunter/killer robot, the T-1000 seemed almost alien. As with many other science fiction movies, it made me wonder if we would ever truly have the technology to be able to create something like that.
Of course, we still have yet to reach that level of technology. Still, we are making strides. Working with Boston Dynamics, Anette Hosoi, a professor of mechanical engineering and applied mathematics at MIT, Nadia Cheng, a former graduate student of Hosoi's, and a team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and Stony Brook University has developed a phase-changing material built from wax and foam that is able to alter its own structure, changing from rigid to soft on command. Build as a part of the Chemical Robots program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, this material was inspired by the way octopuses are able to squeeze through tight spaces, narrowing their bodies and then expanding them again, and wanted to see if they could design a robot that could do the same thing. After all, having a soft body would be useful for traversing through narrow spaces but a rigid form is also needed for any level of manipulation of its environment (such as lifting or moving things) you want the robot to be able to perform.
For the material, foam was used because of its ability to be squeezed down into a fraction of its normal size only to return to its original shape when relieved of pressure. The team then used a wax coating because wax is able to change from a hard outer shell to a softer, more pliable form when heat is applied. This was done by running a wire along each of the struts in the design, applying a current to heat up and melt areas of the wax when desired. Turning off the current and allowing the structure to cool would allow it to cool and then harden once more. In building the material, the research team put polyurethane foam into a bath of melted wax, squeezing the foam so that it soaked up as much wax as possible.
Not only is this an incredibly inexpensive design, after all it is just low-cost polyurethane foam and wax, these wax robots are also self-repairing. The wax surface can crack by too much pressure, but a simply heating and cooling repairs any damage it might have suffered.
Here's a video of this incredible substance.
Robots made of this incredible material could have many wonderful applications in medicine, allowing movement through the body without causing any unwanted damage, as well as search-and-rescue where rescue teams need to find someone trapped under rubble. Sure, its not quite the T-1000, but honestly that is probably for the best.

If "Veep," the viciously funny HBO political comedy, is known for anything, it's the equal levels of tenacity and creativity in its many, many insults.
"I probably have about five or six cuss words that I use all the time," said Tony Hale, who plays the VP's bag boy Gary. "I don't really have that large of a cuss vocabulary. This show has broadened my horizons. My cursing vocabulary is so much more extensive."
Barbs weren't in short supply during the screening of season three's first two episodes, nor before when creator and director Armando Iannucci stepped to the mic to introduce the show. Iannucci took some time to thank the crew, HBO and to individually introduce his cast, but he also called out rival political show "House of Cards." Iannucci said his cast is "better than the cast in 'House of Cards,' which elicited applause and laughter from most of the audience (while a few "ooo's" from one corner) before he went on to say, "in that they don't break that golden rule of acting -- not to stare at the camera."
After the well-received screening, guests were treated to a buffet dinner, decadent deserts and a cleverly designed take-home option for various candies. Part of the new season revolves around VP Selina Meyer's book tour, and fans could pick up their own copy of the hardback at the party -- only to soon discover an empty box where the pages should be, ready to be filled with Reeses bites, Twizzlers and various chocolate delicacies.
The cast was in good spirits, mixing and mingling with guests. Hale was spotted posing for a picture with a fan, and Julia Louis-Drefuss took part in the provided photo booth, creating a goofy picture with fellow cast member Kevin Dunn that's spread over Twitter.
Reid Scott, who plays the (sometimes) suave Dan Egan, was excited about his character in season three. " I met with Armando Ianucci before we even starting shooting season three, and he gave me kind of a wonderful gift," the actor, now sporting a post-shoot beard, commented. "He said, 'What do you want to do this season?' Which no showrunner, in my experience, ever says. And I said, 'I want to see more of Dan's personal life. I want him to dial up the intensity. But I also want him to stay human and fail here and there.'
Failing is a common theme in "Veep," and it comes as no surprise the actors see their characters as struggling endearingly to no end. "He's a disaster," Hale said about his character. "You know what I love about him, though? While everyone else is trying to get ahead, he's kind of fine where he is. He doesn't want to be anywhere else but by [the VP's] side. He just worships her, obviously. But this season, I think because he feels pressure to do something else maybe, he's trying different responsibilities and obviously fails miserably. I think if he had his way he wants to be married to her. He wants to walk the aisle with her. That's what he really wants."
Hale also commented on the similarities between Gary on "Veep" and his famous, fantastic portrayal of Buster Bluth on "Arrested Development." "There are so many mother issues going on there," Hale said about Gary. "There is so much Oedipus stuff happening. Gary's a lot more sane than Buster, so maybe my next character will be more normal. Maybe I'm just getting progressively more normal. It's just taking me a while."
Anna Chlumsky, who plays the VP's right hand woman Amy Brookheimer, shared similar insights on the show. "I think what's fun is that Amy has many insecurities, but we don't see her out of work. I think what she believes she's really good at is work. Maybe in school it was getting straight A's and being a leader. She, in her head, is exactly where she feels comfortable and can excel and overpower people. But I think in every other facet of her life, she's a wreck."
"One of the cool things about season three we... sort of peek behind the curtain with each of our characters," Scott said. "Dan's so obsessive I think he internalizes everything, and I think that comes across in the arc of his story. He goes pretty lone wolf, and not in a good way."
When asked for their favorite insults from the show, the actors were quick to remember their treasured jabs. "My favorite is still from the first season when [Amy] says, 'That's like using a croissant for a dildo. Let me spell it out for you: it doesn't work and it makes a fucking mess.' I think that's just brilliant. Delicious, really."
"Off the top of my head," Scott said. "There was one that might have been from season two when I was referring to Jonah, and I said, 'Jesus Christ, during his birth they must have been pulling him out in shifts.'"
Hale chose a moment from the season three premiere too good to share, but when you hear the term "scaffolding," you'll know. "I gotta tell you, all these Brits have a cuss vocabulary that I... It's just when they write. It's just gold. They have this whole bank of insults. It's an art form, and they have got the art form down."
"Veep" premieres on HBO April 6th at 10:30pm.

Crazy XXX 3D World
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Computer graphics are cool and for years people have been using them to do everything from designing new worlds to making big Hollywood movies. That's all good, but the proof that computer graphics are truly something special is that they are now at a point where they can actually turn you on. Crazy XXX 3D World is a 3D computer graphic porn site where the only limits are your imagination.
I have seen a few 3D sites and I have to say that CrazyXXX3DWorld has got to be my favorite so far. First off is the site itself which is well designed and easy to navigate with content divided up into 3 sections: comics, series pics and movies. Next, and most importantly, is the actual content which is actually very engaging. The comics section consists of about 100 stories with pictures and captions that cover any scenario you can, and probably can't, think of. There are alien and fantasy scenarios (as is very common with these type of sites) however there are also actual "believable" human stories like the guy and the prostitute or the war veteran and the rehab nurse. Crazy XXX 3D World has been around for many years now and you can see the improved quality of the graphics of the more recent ones, but the old ones aren't bad. Also, I actually found the stories rather engaging and found myself reading through the full episode to see what would happened.
Besides the static image comic book stories there is also the movie section. Here you will find 28 items. I know it says movies, but these scenes aren't exactly what you'd normally expect from a video. Instead I like to call them interactive still/flash stories. These scenes play out in page by page format, with each page having an interactive component. For example: if you move the mouse over someone's head a speech bubble pops up and shows what they are saying or thinking. Also certain icons appear on screen that allows you to zoom in on a portion of the screen and then induce certain pornographic actions between characters. Trust me, it's pretty cool.
Your membership also gets you access to real people porn with thousands of bonus picture galleries and access to 6 other Crazy XXX sites: Asian, Teen, Hardcore, Interracial, Lesbian and Transsexual. These sites have lots of pictures and average quality vids.
Average quality bonus content aside, I did really enjoy Crazy XXX 3D World and the only reason I am not shouting at you to go join is the 40 dollar membership fee. That is a lot of money and therefore might scare away the unsure curious type. However, fans of 3D adult porn and comics will find plenty of quality content that might cost a little more but will be better than most other stuff out there.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Thanks to craigslist, I am able to convert from a flatbar to dropbar with very little cost.
Of course that includes a lot of patience waiting for the right part to come along.
Anyway, my question is about brakes and which way to go. I can either buy a Tektro mini-V or just use my Avid SD5 and buy Travel Agents, which would be the better set-up? pros and cons? Cost involved will just be the same on either set-up.
Thanks in Advance!

The Gambia's notorious spy agency – the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are investigating Fatou Camara, a television personality and former Director of Press and Public Relations (DPPR) at the office of the President for possible "espionage and breach of national security", ASN has learnt.
Ms. Camara has been arrested last Monday and released, only to be rearrested two hours later. She has since been held incommunicado at the filthy cells of the NIA.
According to intelligence sources, the main reason for her arrest and continued detention is due to her recent contract with Youssou N'dour's TFM, a Senegal-based television station that often reports critical stories about Gambia's despot dictator Yahya Jammeh.
Intelligence sources have indicated that Ms. Camara was forced to open her email and Facebook addresses to investigators who are bent on finding some evidence to implicate her.
Acting under the directive of the presidency, the NIA investigators were tasked with finding out whether Ms. Camara, while serving as DPPR, had been simultaneously working for the Senegalese station which they see as a violation to national security protocol.
NIA agents are also looking into alleged rumors of sexual affairs between Dictator Jammeh and certain women. The have reportedly been questioning Ms. Camara about such information. According to reports, Ms. Camara is neither been charged no told the explicit reason for her detention.
