Erwin Rommel
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944), popularly known as The Desert Fox, was a German hero of World War II. He earned the respect of both his own troops and the enemies he fought, however he never earned the respect of his Father, Erwin Rommel. Rommel was a highly underrated officer in World War I and was awarded a stick which was a well deserved and apporpriate reward for his exploits in World War I. In World War II, he further distinguished himself as being the only commander who led a division of ghosts into battle during the 1940 surrender of France.
His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African-American campaign established him as one of the most able commanders of the war, and earned him the appellation of being the foxiest. He is regarded as one of the most skilled chef of desert warfare in the conflict for thinking of the revolutionary new concept of cooking eggs on a tank. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied invasion of Normandy. Rommel is regarded as an unscrupulous Nazi war criminal who was a favourite of Adolf Hitler. His AfriKa-AmeriKan Korps was never accused of hate crimes, and soldiers captured during his Africa-American campaign were reported to have been treated surprisingly well and received many "body massages".
Orders to kill Jewish terrorists, Zionist and captured enemy soldiers that attempted to kill him were ignored. Later in the war, Rommel was linked to the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Since Rommel was a National Treasure, Hitler desired to sleep with him quickly. Hitler tricked Rommel into taking some kind of special "pill" by threating to murder his family, Rommel was soon after found dead for some reason. When he died he was given a state funeral and later a nice museum.
edit Early life
In South Germany born and raised on a motorcycle is where he spent most of days building hang gliders and serving as headmaster of Aalen Academy. Rommel at a certain point in his life wanted to be an engineer but his dad told him to join them army. Rommel, afraid that his father would never respect him, obeyed. Rommel started studying at officer school while serving in the army. Meanwhile, Rommel got married to some chick and their relationship soon produced a non-male baby resulting in Rommel needing some time apart. Rommel soon meet his under-aged time travelling future wife Lucie. After spending twelve long years together Rommel's wife Lucie succeeded where his previous wife failed and managed to have a grotesque baby boy named Man-Freak. Rommel, not knowing the name of his own daughter, referred to her as Rommel's niece and kept a very close non-platonic relationship with her. Rommel's son Man-freak became mayor of a stupid backward small town that no-one will ever care about.
edit World War I
During World War I, Rommel fought in France as well as in Romania (see: Vampires) and Italy , first in the Württemberg Infantry Regiment, but through most of the war in the elite Württemberg Mountain Battalion. He gained a reputation for great cowardliness, making quick tactical retreats and running away whilst the enemy were confused. Rommel was awarded the Iron Cross in 1914 to fend off the vampires, and once again, when he lost his first one in 1915. Rommel gained success leading small groups of men, infiltrating through the enemy defences under the cover of darkness, moving forward rapidly to their rear areas, attacking and penetrating the defenders with the element of surprise. In 1918 he joined the Thule Society, Germany's highest order, equivalent to the The Black Hand or the Illuminati. He joined this order due to his leadership in penetrating the enemy in the north-eastern Alps on the river front. The honor was for the Battle of Long-Rod and the penetration of Mount Gaping and its Italian defenders, which totalled 150 suicides, 9,000 deserters, and 81 people who actually defended the mountain. In contrast, Rommel's detachment suffered only before the battle, a remarkable achievement. For a time, Rommel served in the same German army as Hitler, who, unlike Rommel, never rose to the rank of Field Marshal during World War II. Rommel was given a very important and highly fasionable stick as a token of apperciation for all his hard work during World War I.
edit Post World War I
After World War I because of Rommel's Ebonics he was looked downed upon by the German High Command and so he spent his time writing books like "World Wars Episode II: Attack of the infantry". He also wrote his war diaries, which are still studied today. Adolf Hitler came to power and then had Rommel go to Hitler Youth Camps, where he inspected little boys alone for hours on end. Hitler also had Rommel march around Germany to boost its moral. Rommel, however, got really upset about the SS marching with him (on Himmler's orders) and threw a hissy fit until they left, upon which he would resume marching. Sometime later Rommel met Joseph Goebbels and they became best buddies after being impressed by each other when they met. One day while on a train with Hitler, Rommel and Goebbels sneaked off to have sex. Joseph Goebbels after doing the deed with Rommel began to spread lies about how Rommel was a hero, a competent commander, and even going as far as to say that Rommel had finally earned his father's respect. The lies continued for quite some time until Rommel threw yet another hissy fit over Goebbels's blatant lies. Rommel, being the Honest Abe that he is, forced Goebbels to retract his slanderous statements.
edit World War II
edit Poland 1939
During the invasion of Poland, Rommel acted as Hitler's escort seeing a lot of Hitler. After Poland lost, which was inevitable, Rommel went back to Berlin to organize a victory parade for Hitler. Rommel was asked to help out one of his wife's relatives, a Polish priest, but when Rommel asked the Gestapo about the priest they tried playing stupid and pretended not to know who he was talking about.
edit Surrender of France and Invasion of Belgium
After Poland got wrecked by the Germans it was finally time for the Germans to accept the French surrender, but before they could do that they had to go through Belgium, which took four days just to meet France's most elite forces the Ardennes Forest. The German forces, surrounded and out-numbered by the Ardennes forest, against all odds managed to narrowly defeat them. After Germany's biggest obstacle in France was out of the way, Rommel's forces went around fighting what little remained of the Belgians. Rommel retaliated by setting some houses on fire. Once he was finally arrived in France he spent his time improving his tactics, and proved he was really good at blitzkrieg. After six brutal weeks of being bored out of their mind doing nothing the Germans finally received the France's letter of surrender, which would have come much sooner but the French were too scared and ran away at the time
edit Ghost Division
It is interesting to note that Rommel, during the French Surrender led a Division of ghosts that frightened his enemies. This Ghost Division also set the record for the the longest thrust in one day. Even though Rommel set a world record and led ghosts into battle, his commanders still hated him, because they were jealous of his rugged good looks and his popularity, especially with Hitler, except for general Georg Stumme, who was really impressed with Rommel's thrusting techniques.
edit North Africa-America Campaign Begins
Due to Rommel's great successes he was given the Afrika-AmeriKan Korps and sent to Libya, in North Africa-America, to help bail out the Italian forces, who were in somewhat of a sticky situation due to the actions of the British. Rommel's adventures in North Africa-America earned him the the spirit animal the Desert Fox, which he was named by the press
edit Operation Crusader
Rommel, following his success, decided to attack Tobruk. The British, tired of getting pushed around, got a new commander, Auchinleck, who reorganized their armies into three Xs and an X with three Is, which somehow formed an eight and gave it away to Cunningham who was believed to be a super intelligent food item Auchinleck backed up his homies launched a huge attack Rommel even though he had a lot of people backing him up was flanked by an eight army who jabbed them with their left hooks their plan was going well until Rommel decided the thurst his army southward freaking out the british who thought he was going to attack the eastward Rommel then decided to call it quits and left the british began to thurst onward toward Rommel's soldiers but were meet with fierce resitance and were defeated over the next two days the british rubbing against the germans creeeped out and aware of his number inferiority complex began to throw his armour at the british destroying most of their forces
edit Rommel counterattacks
Tired of taking crap from the British Rommel began to fight back the British were left confused by Rommel actions Rommel then decided to continue his attack the british butthurt and confused ran away but Auchinleck relizeing that he wasn't French cancelled the retreat Rommel's tanks began to stall and resistance began to became too stiff and his counter attack failed The German High Command later made fun of Rommel saying was an idiot and let his forces bleed especially his tank even though tanks can't bleed who's the idiot now of course another guy also said that Rommel overestimated himself and came to soon Rommel's attack however would have succeded if their were more French people in The allied army at the time
edit Winter offensive
When Rommel awoke on Christmas morning he found that Santa left him some cool new tanks and Began a another attack on the allies and destroyed onehundred and ten of their tanks and took Timimi the allies pulled back while Rommel set up a thin window screen and sat back and watched as the allies ran away Rommel waited to attack until summer began concluding the winter offensive which was only called The Winter Offensive becuase it was in winter and no-one could come up with a good name for it.
edit End of Africa campaigns
Thing were going well for Rommel until America got its act together and started putting the hurt on Rommel after being badly defeated Hitler senting sent him a message telling him not to retreat rommel initially obeyed but then relized that that was stupid idea and then ran away with his army Rommel who kept disobeying orders to stand his ground just kept on running away until he launched his last assault in africa that failed then later Rommel tried to get Hitler to understand that all of Hitler military ideas were completely retarded Hitler failed to comprehend what Rommel was tring to tell him gave over command of Rommel troops to someone else and Rommel was moved to Greece and never again saw his beloved Afika-AmeriKan Korps
edit Defending the Atlantic Wall
Rommel was choosen to defend the Atlantic wall when he arrived he amazed by how almost no defenses were being built Rommel also prepared his special asparagus to act as an obstacle for the allies invasion Rommeled also noticed that his defenders were really emo and waiting to die Then D-Day happened and the Allies began to throw themselves at the Germans meanwhile Hitler the ever growing genius Sent aid to Pas-de-Calais even thought he was told that the allies were attacking the Beaches of Normandy and that Pas-de-Calais wasn't even under attack because he had a Hunch that the Allies might possibly consider thinking about attacking there. The German Command Being completely in disary thanks to Hitler organizational skills somehow was miraculously unable to properly respond to the invasion of Normandy Despite Rommel's best efforts He failed in Defending Normandy Rommel determined to get out of there hoped and his car and began to rotate his tires until a British plane messed up the driver's left arm causing them to crash Rommel was sent flying. The crash also sent glass shards blowing all over his body and caused him to be hospitalized.
edit Plot against Hitler
There was always opposition to Hitler even though he made many great contributions to the war- three of Rommel's closest friends tried to get him to kill Hitler. Rommel agreed to join the plot against Hitler. He then wrote a letter talking trash about Hitler, however he opposed killing Hitler. Instead, he wanted to put Hitler on trial, proving that Rommel was a swell guy. After the plan to kill Hitler failed many of the plotters were arrested and ratted Rommel out. Nazi officials in France also snitched on Rommel saying he was talking smack about nazism.
edit Rommel's death
Hitler knew that branding Rommel a traitor would destroy the Nazi morale (the Nazis being such good people who would never do anything that may be considered bad). Fortunately for Hitler, Rommel mysteriously died after some upstanding Nazis gave Rommel some mysterious pill that they got from Hitler. A little while after Rommel died, a museum was built in his honor. After the war, many WWII veterans of the African-American campaign, including former opponents, would gather at Rommel's tomb to spit on it.

CUTS to education funding are contributing to an increase in student fees at Catholic schools in Sydney and forcing others in NSW to review their financial support for students to attend World Youth Day celebrations in Rio de Janeiro.
The diocese of Broken Bay in the Pennant Hills area has increased fees by 5.7 to 6 per cent this year, instead of the usual 5 per cent. In a letter to parents, the director of schools of the Catholic Schools Office, Peter Hamill, said the changes were necessary to meet cost increases and ''to compensate for the freeze on grants from the state government which were announced in 2012''.
Schools in the Sydney Catholic education system will raise student fees by 4.2 per cent this year, up from last year's 3.7 per cent increase. A spokesman for the diocese said the rise was due to the annual increase in education costs, which this year included the state government's $1.7 billion cut over four years in the education budget.
The Opposition Leader, John Robertson, said the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, ''has effectively imposed a tax on Catholic and independent schools, forcing them to push fees up''.
''We are seeing fee increases more than double the inflation rate at many Catholic and independent schools due to Barry O'Farrell's cuts,'' he said. The Wollongong Catholic education system is reviewing the level of financial support it gives students to attend World Youth Day because it will lose about $1 million in funding this year.
The director of 78 Catholic schools in Parramatta, Greg Whitby, said his students would face fee increases this year at the usual level of about 5 per cent, but he could not make the same guarantee for the next three years.

PUPILS from St Peter's School in Williton visited the Tesco Store in Minehead to take part in their Farm to Fork Trail to find out where their food comes from.
The trail helps children make informed healthy choices about what they eat, and all pupils and staff visited the store on Monday and Tuesday.
Key Stage One children took part in a fruit and vegetable hunt, tasting exotic fruits, different cheeses and identifying fresh fish on the fish counter.
They also had a tour of the warehouse, fridges and freezers, and were each given a goody bag.
Key Stage Two youngsters looked at where fruit and vegetables come from in more detail.
The visit is being followed up in school by a Change 4 Life Day next Thursday, May 8, when the school will be looking at healthy lunchboxes and snack swaps.
All classes will be cooking, taking part in a healthy lunchbox competition and visiting stalls to try something new.
Governors and parents will be taking part in the activities, too.

A second person has been arrested in connection with the August shooting death of a 31-year-old man at a Midvale apartment complex.
Amy Virginia Rowley, 35, was arrested Monday on suspicion of murder and aggravated robbery. She is accused of accompanying Gabriel Gurule, 35, and another unidentified woman to a Midvale apartment when Gurule allegedly shot and killed Justen L. Lefave.
Gurule is being held in the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of aggravated murder and other charges.
According to police, on Aug. 26, Lefave opened the door to a knock at the State Street apartment he shared with a male roommate and that man's teenage son to see two women, one identified as Rowley.
Rowley and the other woman asked if a fictitious person lived there, according to jail records. When Lefave said no, Gurule allegedly stepped out from behind Rowley and the other female and shot Lefave.
A motive for the shooting remains unclear and witnesses told police they did not know Gurule.
"The impression we get is that [Lefave] didn't know him either," Hoyal said in August.
Utah court records shows Gurule has a criminal history that includes convictions on assault and drug possession charges. In October, Davis County prosecutors filed felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges against Gurule. He made an initial court appearance in Farmington last week and was scheduled for another hearing on Dec. 31.
Rowley also has a criminal history involving multiple drug possession convictions over the last seven years. She has also been convicted in Utah for theft by receiving stolen property and giving false information to a police officer.
Criminal charges had not been filed against Gurule or Rowley as of Tuesday afternoon.

• demagogue •
Pronunciation: dem-ê-gahg • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: An unprincipled orator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of the mob; a political agitator.
Notes: The long political season in the US presents many, many opportunities for demagogue spotters. Demagogues are the ones practicing demagoguery, the abstract noun accompanying this personal noun. The noun may be used as a verb, as to demagogue unabashedly. We have our choice of two adjectives, demagogic or demagogical, but we have to use the latter for the adverb: demagogically. Careful not to substitute an O for the A in the middle.
In Play: As I mentioned before, now is the best time to observe demagogues: "No time like the election season to bring the demagogues out of the woodwork en masse." We sometimes meet demagogues who are not running for office, too: "Dutch Masters is such a pompous demagogue; he just can't come down off that soapbox of his."
Word History: Today's Good Word we took directly from Greek demagogos "popular leader, mob leader", from demos "people" + agogos "leader", from agein "to lead". This word was used disparagingly from its first written appearance in Athens in the fifth century BCE. We see demos also in democracy "people power" and pandemic "(disease affecting) all people", from pan "all" + demos "people". We find the root of agogos in Latin agere "to act, to do", from which we get agent and agile. The past participle of agere was actus, which went on to motivate many other words we borrowed: act, active, actor, transact, and all the verbs ending on -ate. (Jay Gilliam suggested today's Good Word most undemagogically.)

Varicose veins are
twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. They are most common in
the legs and ankles. They usually aren't serious, but they can sometimes lead
to other problems.
Varicose veins are
caused by weakened valves and veins in your legs. Normally, one-way valves in
your veins keep blood flowing from your legs up toward your heart. When these
valves do not work as they should, blood collects in your legs, and pressure
builds up. The veins become weak, large, and twisted.
veins often run in families. Aging also increases your risk.
overweight or pregnant or having a job where you must stand for long periods of
time increases pressure on leg veins. This can lead to varicose veins.
Varicose veins look dark
blue, swollen, and twisted under the skin. Some people do not have any
symptoms. Mild symptoms may include:
More serious symptoms include:
Varicose veins are common and usually aren't a sign of a
serious problem. But in some cases, varicose veins can be a sign of a blockage
in the deeper veins called
deep vein thrombosis. If you have this problem, you
may need treatment for it.
Your doctor will
look at your legs and feet. Varicose veins are easy to see, especially when you
stand up. Your doctor will check your legs for tender areas, swelling, skin
color changes, sores, and other signs of skin breakdown.
You might need further tests if you plan to have treatment or if you
have signs of a deep vein problem.
Home treatment may be all
you need to ease your symptoms and keep the varicose veins from getting worse.

Varicose veins
are enlarged veins that usually occur just under the skin (superficial veins).
Varicose veins are likely to be caused by one or more factors,
Varicose veins often run in families. You may be born with
defective valves or weak walls in your veins, or you may develop them later in
Varicose veins are more common in women than in
men. And varicose veins happen more often as people get older.
Varicose veins often develop during pregnancy. They might
become less prominent after pregnancy and may disappear completely.
Less commonly, varicose veins may be a sign of a more serious problem
that may sometimes need treatment. These serious problems can include:

days before and during a woman's menstrual period.
varicose veins aren't a serious medical problem, but

Varicose veins most often are a result of problems in the
superficial veins just under the skin. But they can happen along with problems
or disease in the
deep veins and
perforating veins, which connect the deep and the
superficial veins. Complications are much more common when varicose veins are caused by
or linked with these deeper veins.
Factors that increase your
risk of developing
varicose veins include:
Call your doctor if you have
varicose veins and:
Varicose veins are common and are generally not
a serious health problem. With a doctor keeping an eye on the condition, most
people can manage varicose veins with home treatment, such as exercising,
wearing compression stockings, and elevating the legs.
Primary care doctors (including
family medicine doctors, and
general practitioners) can diagnose, treat, and
monitor varicose veins and most of the complications they may cause.
Minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be done by:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
The most important tools in
varicose veins are the
physical examination and medical history. Varicose
veins are typically diagnosed based on their appearance, and no other special
tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
If a problem with the
deep veins or complications are suspected based on your symptoms and exam,
other tests may be done.
Duplex Doppler ultrasound is the most
commonly used noninvasive test that can help your doctor study blood flow in
your leg veins.
An ultrasound might be done if you are considering having a procedure to treat varicose veins.
The goals of
varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and
prevent complications. For some, the goal may be improved appearance. Home
treatment—such as
exercising and wearing compression stockings—is the first and often best
If home treatment does not help, there are procedures or a surgery that can treat varicose veins. These include:
Treatment may be needed to remove the damaged veins,
treat complications, or correct an underlying problem that is causing the
varicose veins. The size of your varicose veins affects your treatment options.
Generally, larger varicose veins are treated with ligation and
stripping, laser treatment, or radiofrequency treatment. In some cases, a
combination of treatments may work best. Smaller varicose veins and
spider veins are usually treated with sclerotherapy or
laser therapy on your skin.
Some people may want to improve how
their legs look, even though their varicose veins are not causing other
problems. In these cases, a procedure or surgery may be appropriate—as long as there are no other health problems that
make these treatments risky.
If you are thinking about having a vein
treatment, you may want to know which treatment is best for you. No single
approach is best for treating all varicose veins. Talk to your doctor about your
If you are considering a surgery or procedure, consider some
questions about treatment. These questions might
include: How much experience does the doctor have with the particular
treatment? How much do the exam and treatment cost?
All treatment methods—including all types of surgery,
sclerotherapy, laser, and radiofrequency ablation—can scar or discolor the
Treatment can be more difficult for deep veins that are damaged or for perforating veins, which connect the deep and
superficial veins. These veins may be treated with surgery, radiofrequency ablation, or sclerotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.
Varicose veins
may be prevented to some extent by:
Home treatment is recommended for most
people with
varicose veins that aren't causing more serious
problems. Home treatment can relieve symptoms, slow down the progress of
varicose veins, and prevent complications such as sores or
bleeding. For many people with varicose veins, home treatment is the only
treatment they need.
These measures may help you avoid surgery or other medical
treatment for your varicose veins. But you may still want surgery or a procedure if you are
not satisfied with their appearance or your symptoms are not well
If you have varicose veins, you can help
control the problem and keep it from getting worse if you:
Superficial varicose veins can sometimes cause minor
problems like bruising or bleeding if you scratch or cut the skin over a larger
vein. Small blood clots may occasionally form in the surface veins (superficial
phlebitis). Most of these problems can be safely treated at home.
Signs of a small blood clot in a superficial varicose vein
(superficial phlebitis) include tenderness and swelling over the vein. The vein
may feel firm. If your doctor has told you how to care for superficial
phlebitis, follow his or her instructions.
Medicines are not generally used to treat
varicose veins.
Surgery for varicose veins includes tying off (ligation) and removing (stripping) larger
veins. Surgery may be used to treat
varicose veins if:
Less invasive procedures are another option to treat varicose veins. Less invasive procedures are more commonly done than surgery. These procedures can give good results with less risk than surgery. These procedures include
laser treatment (including endovenous laser);
phlebectomy, or stab avulsion; and
radiofrequency treatment.
Some people may want to have surgery
to improve how their legs look, even though their varicose veins are not
causing other problems. Surgery may be appropriate in some cases as long as you
don't have other health problems that make the treatment risky.
Keep in mind that surgery for varicose veins done only for cosmetic reasons
(that is, not medically necessary) is usually not covered by insurance.
In some cases, a combination of surgery and
sclerotherapy may be used to treat varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is a
nonsurgical procedure in which a chemical is injected into the vein, causing
the vein to close off.
There are several nonsurgical, minimally invasive
vein treatments for treating
varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy is a nonsurgical
procedure in which a chemical is injected into the vein, causing the vein to
close off.
People who have laser or
radiofrequency treatment generally feel less pain and heal faster than people
who have ligation and stripping.

want to have vein treatment to improve how their legs look, even though their
varicose veins are not causing other problems. Vein treatments may be
appropriate in some cases as long as you don't have other health problems that
make the treatment risky.

reasons are not likely to be covered by insurance.
Complications of
varicose veins may require further treatment, especially if you have developed
severe varicose veins or
chronic venous insufficiency.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 26-year-old woman was hit and killed while walking down Shindler Drive early Thursday morning, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
JSO's traffic homicide unit responded to Shindler Drive at Bellrose Avenue about 2 a.m. learned a car driven by a 28-year-old man was going northbound on Shindler Drive struck Tabitha Boykin as she was walking in a dark stretch of the road.
Police said Boykin was walking in the street between two street lights and wearing dark clothing. The car hit Boykin, who died at the scene.
Police said the driver stopped, got out of the car and began CPR while waiting for rescuers.
No charges are pending at this time, police said. They said there is also no indication of speeding or alcohol, but it's still an open investigation.
Due to the investigation, Shindler Drive at Bellrose Avenue was blocked overnight.
Boykin's family said she was just blocks away from her mother's home when she was hit. They said she was on her way to visit a friend.
Boykin leaves behind two young children.
"She loved her kids to death," Boykin's step-mother, Sandy Mann, said. "She loved them with all her heart. She did."
"It was heart wrenching," Boykin's aunt, Armendia Turner, said. "I could not believe. I knew Tabitha would get out and walk and she'd go places. Anytime she got ready she'd go. It didn't matter if it were day or night, she was going to go."
Boykin grew up in Jacksonville but was originally from North Carolina. Her family is trying to raise the money to bury her there.
Friends at Greybeards Tavern on Commonwealth Avenue are taking donations to help make that happen.

Ravenna -- A Bainbridge doctor and Aurora resident who allegedly sexually abused at least two children over the past two decades and also allegedly possessed child pornography pleaded not guilty last week to 24 felony charges brought against him by Aurora and Kent police.
Dr. Mark B. Shaffer Jr., 79, entered the plea at his arraignment in Portage County Common Pleas Court. Judge John Enlow set bond at 10 percent of $1 million and set a trial date for Jan. 23.
A Portage County grand jury handed down a 24-count indictment on Dec. 7, charging Shaffer with two counts of rape and one count of kidnapping, all first-degree felonies, 11 counts of gross sexual imposition, all third-degree felonies, and 10 counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor, all fourth-degree felonies. Specifications to the indictment could result in Shaffer getting a life sentence if convicted.
One of the victims was a 12-year-old boy, whom Shaffer allegedly abused between June and August 2008, according to his indictment. Other incidents allegedly involved a female between the ages of 5 and 9 when she allegedly was sexually abused by Shaffer between November 1996 and November 2000, according to his indictment.
Kent police detectives assisted in the investigation because one of the victims is a Kent resident, according to Aurora police.
U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents and Aurora police served a federal search warrant on Shaffer's Windward Drive home on Nov. 28, according to Aurora police. The investigation came about as part of a probe into Shaffer's alleged possession of child pornography.
Numerous pornographic videos of children allegedly were found in Shaffer's residence. His office on Washington Street in Bainbridge Township also was searched, but no evidence of criminal activity was found, according to police.
In subsequent interviews, Shaffer allegedly told investigators he had been sexually abusing children for several years, according to Aurora police.
The investigation is continuing, and additional charges are possible. The Aurora Police Department is coordinating the investigation, and anyone with information on Shaffer is asked to call 330-562-8181.

LONG BEACH – Those magnificent men (and women) in their flying machines. They went "up diddly up" and most definitely "down diddly down."
And one machine unexpectedly went far diddly far.
In the inaugural National Red Bull Flugtag day Saturday, contestants in five cities nationwide flew their home-made, hand-powered crafts off 28- to 30-foot ramps. And one, The Chicken Whisperers from Mountain View, set a new flugtag record with a flight of 258 feet, smashing the previous record set in Germany by 30 feet. The team also smashed the U.S. record by about 50 feet.
Designed by aerospace and rocket engineers, self-described engineering geeks, and flown by Laura Shane, the simple, silver, space-age-looking craft left the ramp and just glided and glided, almost in slow-motion, before gently settling into the water.
Given that organizers only had flight measurement markers out to 100 feet, these chickens definitely flew the coop.
When asked why he wanted to help design the craft, former rocket scientist Marshall Gusman said, "Why fly rockets when you can build these?"
On a flug-perfect day, throngs of fans, rivaling the 100,000 from the 2010 Long Beach Flutag, crowded around the lighthouse at Rainbow Park and selected viewing areas around Rainbow Harbor to witness the shenanigans.
Flugtag, a German translation of flight day, is a contest that scores flight distance, creativity and showmanship.
For the record, the Chicken Whisperers were the overall winners, followed by Long Beach's own Legendary Flying Machine and the Oakley Factory Fliers. The people's choice award went to flugtag veterans Red, White and Brews from Reedley.
But, of course, flight is only part of the show. And a small part, at that. Most onlookers were there for the splats, and the more spectacular the better.
Fun and hi-jinks are also as much a part of the event as aerodynamic acumen. And there was plenty of both.
In addition to the record long flight, there was a near-record no flight, as a UFO by Team Haunt began to lift backwards before it was wrestled off the ramp.
The event even featured a marriage proposal from the ramp, to which one of the event judges later remarked, "The guy proposed, then tried to commit suicide."
Flying contraptions ranged from craft that would have done the Wright brothers proud, to others for which the only question was how fast would they fall down, like the house inspired by the movie "Up," whose only nod to flight were a couple dozen helium balloons above the chimney.
A pyramid surprisingly opened into a flying machine.
Many craft were notable for their fancy designs, including dragons, bulls and a few "what-the-heck-is that?" Others were built for utility and others purely for comedic effect.
A surprising number of the derring-doers were in it to win it.
Four Long Beach teams were entered: Legendary Flying Machine, a replica of the Spruce Goose plane flown in Long Beach by Howard Hughes, complete with a crew that included three geese, one spruce and a Howard Hughes; Viaje de los Muertos, or Flight of the Dead, by a team of engineering students from Cal State Long Beach; Flycycle, led by executive chef Pete Lehmar of Gladstone's; and Ship Yeah, a spooky contraption with a plane and the Queen Mary linked together.
For a short time, the Legendary Flying Machine ruled the skies. Their craft made it about 70-80 feet before gliding to a smooth landing. Unfortunately for them, they were eclipsed by the next team, which was the Chicken Whisperers.
One team that seemed to capture at least part of the attitude of the day was Red, White and Brews, a team of thrill-seekers from Reedley. The team, which has competed in past flugtags, got their introduction to Red Bull in a soapbox competition, before graduating to flying.
"We got bored (in Reeley)," crew member Brett Hacker said of catching the Red Bull bug. Last time out, the team flew 42 feet. But since they lightened their craft, and their pilot lost 35 pounds, they were looking for big air.
A large crowd came out to see Viaje de los Muertos. Among them were Gracie and Melissa Zelaya, sisters to craft pilot Marycruz Zelaya. Both said they were a little worried.
"But she's calm," Melissa said.
"Too calm," added Oscar Beltran, a classmate of the CSULB crew.
The Phoenix, the name of the CSULB craft, did an elegant 180-degree vertical loop before depositing Marycruz on her head, but uninjured.
Which is what it's all about.

Mine plan review in final stages
PROVINCIAL environmental officials are in the final stages of reviewing a plan to develop a molybdenum mine at Kitsault, north of Terrace, BC.
The review began the end of April and was to conclude the end of October but the developer Avanti Mining asked for a three-week extension so officials had more time to review the information it submitted.
An assessment of the information submitted by Avanti will be reviewed over a three-week period by federal and provincial agencies, First Nations and other interested parties who can then make comments.
"The BC Environmental Assessment Office will consider these comments prior to finalizing its report that refers the Kitsault project to the BC Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas and the Minister of Environment for issuance of the Environmental Certificate," a press release from Avanti stated this afternoon.
"Avanti expects the referral to take place before December 21, 2012. Ministers will then have up to 45 days to make their decision on the Kitsault Project EA certification."
Company officials earlier said they are confident the mine project will be approved.
Avanti has so far spent $70 million on the Kitsault project, including approximately $15 million on environmental studies.
Also underway is a federal review which Avanti estimates will be finished within two months of the provincial review. A decision by the federal environment minister would follow within three months, Avanti said.

Topic: Liver Transplant Survivors Symposium in Chicago
Im just coming off an absolutely crazy weekend, and wanted to share my experience at the Liver Symposium in Chicago this past weekend. The event was just as it was titled- an event consisting of people who received Liver transplants along with many of their personal Doctors in attendance. Many survivors spoke telling their stories, along with Doctors mostly focusing on treatment, and new devolopements in treatment. I sat in on almost all the topics and although I am very new to this scenerio, many, many of the treatments mentioned were familiar to me from this site, as well as from treatments my father received. I was very pleased to see Xoleda had been used in almost every patient that stood up and talked and they were all having success with it, as well as Gemzar, which were the chemo regimines used on my father. Unfortunately they werent successful on him, but I am a believer more then ever, that every person is different and every person reacts differently to treatment. The event was very uplifting, people telling stories of stage 4 cancer, many times the tumors in the liver were mets from another location, and they were beating the odds and surviving. The Doctors who spoke were so commited to the cause it was a beautiful thing. I LOVE a cancer success story. That said......Liver cancer (or even patients with mets to the liver) are at risk for Cholangiocarcinoma, it is a fact and it was "briefly" talked about at the symposium. When the Word "Cholangiocarcinoma" came up on the screen, I immediately perked up in my seat, and then slunked back down when a few sentences were said about the horrible disease only. I remember the Dr speaking said it is very rare and when detected unfortunately it is usually at a later stage.
Me, not being brave enough -yet- to go to the microphone to ask a question, managed to corner the Dr. later and asked him if there was anyone at the symposium with Cholangiocarcinoma, he said "he didn't think so". Then I asked what he thought could be done for early detection. He was at a loss. He said, if someone was in an accident, and had internal damage to that area, something could be seen then, but otherwise it is next to impossble to detect early. I told him about our site(he hadn't heard of it) I told him CC isnt as rare as one would think, we get new patients and cargivers to the site everyday. He was a very compasionate Dr. and wrote down the name of the site. I dont know how much good it did, but I told him it just isnt acceptable to say "it is a bad cancer, and needs to be detected early" more research needs to be done. I don't know a lot of the technical and medical terms but when i sat at the lunch with another of the Dr.'s and told him, my father died 3 weeks ago of CC, and that is why I was at the event to help stopl this from happening, I think he listened to what I had to say.
Marion, thank you so much for what you are doing, I don't know a thenth of what you know, but I am willing to try to learn, so I can do my part to help bring this horrible cancer to the forfront.
Thanks for the opportunity to go and do some good.

Psychology Internships / Independent Study
An internship is intended to provide students with the opportunity to apply what they are learning in their Psychology courses to real-world situations. It offers them the chance to work in an applied setting of their choosing under the supervision of agency staff, who will also train and evaluate them. The Psychology faculty is committed to making the internship a quality educational experience that involves integrating academic learning with the performance of meaningful activities under the direct supervision of an administrator in a community agency or other approved, applied setting (e.g., public school, higher education admissions office).
Independent Study
This course is designed to help students conduct their own research. The instructor will aid students in running robust scientific research, enhance critical thinking skills. This course requires motivated, conscientious students who are capable of working independently. Students will conceptualize a problem from everyday life, formalize research questions, conduct literature reviews on the topic of choice, and then design and execute a research study to test their ideas.

ATHERTON Collieries recorded their second successive clean sheet on Monday night as they saw off tenants Oldham Boro at Alder House.
The result sees Steve Pilling's side hold on to third position in the North West Counties League Division One; level on points with second-placed Formby having played a game more.
The pitch held up very well given recent weather conditions, and this allowed Atherton to settle into a passing rhythm from the early stages.
Joey Evans made his debut for Colls after returning from Prescot Cables having had two seasons away from NWCFL action.
Evans played a pivotal role in the midfield battle which ensued as both sides looked to gain a firm advantage.
Colls took a deserved lead on 20 minutes when Daryl Patton finished off an exquisite move which began in their own defensive third.
Kieran Halliwell dinked a ball into Patton, who played a neat one-two with Evans before lobbing the advancing goalkeeper from just inside the area.
Mitchell Leece was combative throughout the evening and he grabbed a goal on 60 minutes when he drilled the ball into the net with the outside of his foot from a tight angle.
Oldham had a couple of chances to pull a goal back, but goalkeeper Phil Priestley continued to impress since his introduction to the squad as Colls claimed their third clean sheet in a row; the first time this has happened since last March.
Elsewhere, Daisy Hill managed to claim a point at home to Chadderton on Saturday.
The result sees Daisy open up a seven-point gap over the bottom two sides, Eccleshall and Northwich Flixton Villa.

imaheadcase - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkDo you have to encode the video for the 20min sections, or is it encoded on-the-fy by the card? From my limited reading I heard that because its faster the quality sometimes suffers. Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkIt's encoded on the fly using the NVENC H.264 encoder. There isn't an intermediate storage/encode step.
The 20 minute rolling window is for the DVR function; when enabled it keeps the last 20 minutes of your gameplay buffered so that you can save it after the fact. Reply
chizow - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkPretty cool, I'll have to check this out. FRAPs has always been very CPU resource and storage throughput intensive, so anything to streamline the process while maintaining quality will be welcomed. It should also save on encoding time since it sounds like it's encoding and writing to H.264 in real-time via NVENC hardware. Reply
MadMan007 - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkIt's good to finally see some news on this. I remember reading tiny blurbs about this in various 700 series card reviews but most everyone just glossed over it even though it's a pretty cool feature imo and could definitely be a reason to buy NV for game streamers. I'm only bothered because it's going to be driver-limited to 700 series, when 600 series Fermi cards should be able to run it as well. Reply
valinor89 - Saturday, October 19, 2013 - linkI wonder if constantly using the NVENC hardware while you are already maxing the GPU with the game is a good idea from a power and heat budget point of view. Reply

By T.W. Budig, ECM Capitol Reporter
Supporters of the proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage have long said that passage would stave off legal challenges to the state law that already outlaws same-sex marriage.
And some attorneys say to a degree that idea is correct.
"Well, yes and no," said Teresa Nelson, legal counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Minnesota.
In general, there are two different challenges that could be brought against so-called Defense of Marriage law, she said.
One would be to argue it violates the U.S. Constitution equal protection provisions afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment — this is the basis for a ongoing challenge in federal court to California's Proposition 8, Nelson said.
The other legal route would be to argue state Defense of Marriage Amendment (DOMA) law violates equal protection rights afforded by the state constitution, but passage of the proposed amendment would make such a challenge unfeasible, Nelson said.
Still, U.S. Constitutional rights are superior to state law and would not be affected by passage of a state constitutional amendment, she said.
The ACLU opposes the proposed same-sex marriage ban amendment.
"I think it's a waste of money," Hamline University Law Professor Marie Failinger said of the proposed amendment.
Failinger is critical of the amendment for a number of reasons.
For one thing, the Minnesota Supreme Court has not been silent on the subject of same-sex marriage. Back in 1971, the court dismissed a challenge concerning same-sex marriage, she said.
"The institution of marriage as a union of man and woman, uniquely involving the procreation and rearing of children within a family, is as old as the Book of Genesis," the court ruled at the time.
Further, Failinger questions the urgency supporters of the amendment feel about placing it on the ballot. Valuable legal insight could be lost by acting in haste, she said.
Judges are smart people, Failinger said.
Why not let them offer their legal insights on same-sex marriage as cases move through the courts?
Failinger views the proposed amendment as "highly unusual." It contains at least the "symbolic meaning" that the state constitution can be used as an instrument for thwarting the ambitions of minority groups for civil rights.
Both Failinger and Nelson view passage of the amendment as restricting future legislatures.
"I don't think the answer to this is very clear," Nelson said of the leeway lawmakers would have should voters approve the amendment.
Failinger suggested the Legislature, if the majority did not support the amendment, could start down the "rough road" of repeal by proposing another constitutional amendment.
Nelson suggested, given such a legislature, lawmakers could repeal the statutory DOMA law.
But Chuck Darrell, spokesman for Minnesota for Marriage, suggests passage of the amendment championed by his group, which is supported by the Minnesota Catholic Conference, Minnesota North District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and many other churches and organizations, would not wholly bind lawmakers.
Darrell does not rule out lawmakers extending benefits to same-sex couples, nor even passing civil union legislation.
"It's respectful. It's in a loving manner," Darrell said of the campaign for the amendment.
He styled the need for passage as urgent.
For one thing, a current district court challenge exists in Minnesota to state DOMA law.
Speaking of the pro-amendment campaign, Darrell cites an active church component — many suburban churchgoers have seen pro-amendment activities in their churches, he said — and a database of some 70,000 supporters.
Our outreach is everywhere," Darrell said.
He dismisses a recent Public Policy polling indicating public support in Minnesota swinging against the amendment, saying internal polling shows support for the amendment in the mid-50s.As do amendment opponents, Darrell insists the proposed amendment crosses traditional voting-bloc lines.
Voting patterns in other states — nationally the amendment initiative has recorded a long and unbroken string of successes — suggests 30 to 40 percent of Democrats in Minnesota would vote "Yes," said Darrell.
The Iron Range, for instance, could yield many pro-amendment votes, Darrell said.
Rather than neutralizing support for the amendment, having Democratic President Barack Obama energize the Democratic base in Minnesota could bring in additional amendment support, he said.
Though still summer, the pace of the campaign is quickening, said Darrell.
"(But) we expect to be outraised and outspent," he said.
Minnesotans United campaign manager Richard Carlbom said Minnesotans' attitudes towards same-sex marriage are in flux, he said.
"We see Minnesotans evolving on the question over time," said Carlbom, arguing against proposing a final solution to an ongoing debate.
Even the 6th Congressional District, generally considered very conservative and represented by Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, will produce many "No" votes, Carlbom believes.
"You'd be surprised," he said of levels of support. "I feel good about it."
The question appearing on the November ballot reads:
"Should the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota?"
Even if the amendment fails, existing statutory law outlawing same-sex marriage in Minnesota would remain on the books.
Minnesota for Marriage announced Monday that it had petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court alleging that Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie had illegally changed the title of the proposed amendment.
Ritchie argued that Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton's vetoing of the amendment invalidated its title.
Citing perceived state authority, Ritchie announced that he changed the title of the amendment from "Recognition of marriage solely between one man and one woman," to "Limiting the status of marriage to opposite sex couples."
Supporters argue Ritchie is acting illegally.
"I believe this meddling by the Secretary of State is an attempt to deliberately confuse the voter as well as sow discord and enmity in order to defeat the constitutional question, which he has actively spoken and campaigned against," said Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Cass County, who represents the current District 12.
"Also, the title chosen by Secretary Ritchie is less clear and purposefully misleading in intent that the title chosen by the Minnesota Legislature," said Gazelka.
Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, Senate bill author, said Dayton's veto of the legislation was purely ceremonial and that Ritchie was using it as a "trumped up excuse" to thwart the legislature, according to a Minnesota for Marriage press release.
Unlike with other legislation, governors cannot kill proposed constitutional amendments by vetoing them.

Children are prime targets of identity thieves.
That's why parents need to take steps to minimize their child's risk of being victimized by this type of crime, according to Heather Battison, senior director of consumer education at TransUnion, a credit information company in Chicago.
"In many cases, the key elements required to open a credit account are a name and Social Security number. Since a child's Social Security number represents a 'clean slate' and has the potential to go undetected for years, it represents an appealing target to most identity theft thieves," Battison said in a statement.
More than 19,000 cases of child identity theft were reported to the Federal Trade Commission last year, up from about 6,000 eight years earlier. Those numbers might seem small, but the consequences for the child's future credit and employment can be serious.
With that in mind, here are some tips, courtesy of the credit reporting service, TransUnion, to help parents safeguard a child's identity.
- Be mindful of the personal information the child carries around day to day. Keep sensitive data in a safe place, not at the bottom of a school bag.
- Teach children not to give personal information to strangers.
- Consider hand-delivering any forms that contain personal information or medical records directly to the school instead of sending them with your child.
- Watch for warning signs of child identity theft.
One such sign is suspicious mail, such as pre-approved credit card offers, that normally would be sent to adults but is sent to the child in his or her name. Two other signs are a prior-existing financial account that's discovered when a new account is opened and an application for credit is denied due to a poor credit history.
The creation of a consumer credit file is triggered by an application for credit, a credit account or a public record. That means a child who has an existing credit report already might have been a target or victim of identity theft.
If your child has been targeted or victimized, get help. Request a credit bureau investigation and follow up with any additional information that might help to protect your child from fraudulent activity.

I thought Ancestry & FindMyPast were about due to release another set of records, all genealogists need a regular hit of something new to search and Ancestry has just delivered……..
The release is Manchester parish records 1541 – 1985. The original records are held by the Manchester Libraries and Archives. A list of parishes is available online at Ancestry, in all 64 parishes are included.
A while ago FindMyPast also released a collection of Manchester records from the same source, their collection consists of apprenticeship records, cemetery & death records, school admissions & discharges, prison registers and workhouse registers.
So between the two rivals there is a splendid range of records for those with Manchester ancestors. This should keep my friend, Jill, whose family on both sides comes from within a small radius of Manchester, very happy !!

Ancestry has just added some new records to their database, thanks to Chris Paton at http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.nz/ for letting us know about these. Amongst the new additions are some records for the county of Hampshire. I chose Hampshire because I was born in the county and have ancestors who lived there for many centuries. However this exercise would produce results regardless of which county you are interested in.
I have written about the Ancestry Card Catalogue before, a lesson on how to use the catalogue can be found here … http://www.madaboutgenealogy.com/ancestry-card-catalogue-hidden-genealogy-secrets/.
Using Hampshire, England in the location box and leaving all the other search boxes empty I came up with quite a list. It should be remembered that doing a name search for your ancestors may not bring forth all these different datasets as some of them aren't indexed and have to be searched page by page as you would if you were using the original documents in an archive. Also some of these datasets will only be found under the Stories & Publications tab search section. There was mention that Ancestry was going to blend all their datasets together so that they came under the main search form, but I'm not sure if this has taken place yet.
Hampshire Extracted Parish Records. It is unclear as to who the compiler of this dataset is. At one time I thought it must be the LDS, but now I am not so convinced. The description of what it contains is rather hazy, but it is indexed so will come up on any name searches. These are transcripts and not very complete ones at that.
Anyway the dataset contains the following –
1.Southampton – Calendar of Apprenticeship Registers, 1609-1740
2. Marriage Licences Allegations, Bishop of Winchester, 1689-1837
3. Marriage Licences, 1607-1640
4. Marriage Licences, 1669-1680
5. Register of Marriages, 1559-1812
Hampshire Allegations for Marriage Licences, 1689-1837. I am almost 100% certain that this book which was published by the Harleian Society in 1893 and edited by William J. C Moens has been abstracted and included in the above Hampshire Extracted Parish Records dataset. Use this dataset, it is scanned images of the original publication and is much fuller in content than the Extracted Parish Records. It appears to be indexed, but is in alphabetical order anyway and is divided between Brides and Grooms. There are Addenda at the end of each section and also indexes for both brides & grooms.
Pedigrees of the Families in the County of Hampshire. Published by Sherwood, Gibert and Piper in 1833 and compiled by William Berry this book is not indexed and is based on manuscripts held by the British Museum and private individuals and also on information given by the present (1833) families. It starts with a list of the Sheriffs of Hampshire from the reign of Henry II (1154) and then goes onto the pedigrees of the county families. These pedigrees are not in alphabetical order, but there is an index at the end of the 374 pages which is alphabetical for the first and second letter only. Well worth a browse.
Life of William of Wykeham: sometime Bishop of Winchester and Lord High Chancellor of England : with appendices. This looks as if it might be rather dry reading, but if you have any connection with William of Wykeham (1324 – 1404) and his life then it would be worth a look. There is an index at the back of the book and the book has been indexed by Ancestry so should come up in name searches.
Black's Guide to Hampshire published 1897, this book seems to be indexed by name, but I think it's real value is in providing background information for the places where Hampshire ancestors lived and worked.
The diaries of Dummer: reminiscences of an old sportsman by Stephen Terry of Dummer, published by Unicorn Press, 1934. If you have any links to the village of Dummer and it surrounding area then browsing this book might be fruitful. It is indexed by names.
A General History of Hampshire. Written by James S. Virtue this book is again excellent background material, there is no date of publication given.
Gundry genealogy: covering the ancestry and descendants of George Gundry of Hampshire County, England and Genesee County, Michigan. Interesting if you have any connection to the Gundry family. there are charts and an index.
Registers of St. Thomas à Becket, Portsmouth. A transcript of Marriages 1776 – 1812.
The Pedigrees of Lloyd of Dolobran, Montgomeryshire; The Wordsworth Family; Foster, late of Le Court, Hants; Hanbury of Holfield Grange, Essex; Wakefield of Sedgwick House, Kendal; and Wakefield of New Zealand and So. Australia. Obviously the author liked short, snappy titles !!! If you have the Foster family or Le Court, Hampshire which is near the village of Liss then this is the book for you.
The above datasets are ones that I picked out to be definitely about Hampshire, there are plenty of others where there is a mention or reference to Hampshire and these might well be of interest. There were 210 different datasets that came up in my Hampshire, England search, some were nation wide datasets such as census. My recommendation is to take the time to learn how to use the Card Catalogue then I am sure you will spend many happy and productive hours researching the results.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 8, 2016
Netanyahu is on a sales trip to Azerbaijan to promote more Israel hardware.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 27, 2014
Iranian aviation and intelligence experts estimate that the Israeli-made Hermes 450 drone downed Aug. 23 over the Natanz enrichment facility took off from Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Airbase, debkafile reports. Our sources add that the Hermes 450 boasts a range of video and still cameras that can capture extremely high-resolution color images. Thermal imaging devices allow the cameras to operate in poor visibility and almost any weather condition. Iran has failed till now to stop regular drone flights from Nakhchivan incoming to spy on its nuclear sites.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 8, 2014
Strategically located Azerbaijan cools longstanding economic and security ties with Jerusalem and Washington, looking to Iran for new alliance.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 17, 2012
debkafile Special: Last week, the Azerbaijani police picked up six Iranian secret agents looking for the air bases housing the drones their government purchased from Israel. The agents carried cash, fake passports, automatic pistols, advanced electronic equipment for tracking aircraft and electronic warfare devices for jamming them. Their capture foiled an Iranian plot to trap one of the UAVs as it flew over the Azerbaijani-Iranian Caspian Sea border. As the agents' clandestine handler, the Iranian culture attaché was barred form returning to Baku.

Iran is holding and intensively grilling three suspects who entered the country from Azerbaijan to discover their role in the mid-August explosion of the power lines to the underground uranium enrichment site at Fordo, debkafile's exclusive Iranian sources reveal. Tehran is also questioning the engineers, planners and company heads who built the facility to find out why it was not provided with an independent power generator, an omission which exposed the plant to sabotage. Cutting off Fordo's power also disarmed its security system.
DEBKAfile Special Report June 6, 2012
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives in Baku, Azerbaijan Wednesday, June 6, amid Ali Khamenei and Vladimir Putin's deep disapproval of President Ilam Aliyav's pro-Western orientation and fast-growing ties with Israel. Frictions center on Baku's $1.6 billion arms transaction with Israel and even more, debkafile reports, on the fact that the deal is matched by expanding Azerbaijani investment in Israel's Mediterranean gas and oil projects. This tradeoff is marked for expansion.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 24, 2012
Iran is alarmed by Azerbaijan's soaring trade relations with Israel, its ambitions to expand into Mediterranean oil and gas through Israel and large arms purchases from the Jewish state.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 24, 2012
A Hizballah cell backed by intelligence from Tehran and external Iranian terror cells in Turkey, Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia, was captured in Baku on Jan. 19 by Azerbaijan's National Security Ministry (MNS) officers, who thwarted attacks on the Israeli embassy and the Habad center as well as on Israeli and local personages. Two cell members reside in Azerbaijan; its Tehran-based leader was recruited by Iranian intelligence. This was the first known instance of Iranian intelligence and a Hizballah cell cooperating for a terror operation.
DEBKAfile Special Report October 25, 2011
Azerbaijan's election to a UN Security Council non-permanent seat brings to the world body a government with lively relations with Israel. It also highlights the rivalry between the Israeli and Turkish military industries for the Baku market. Russia, Iran and Armenia, too, are looking askance at the rapid arming of Azerbaijani armed forces with Israeli drones, 60 of which roll out of Azerbaijan factories in two months. The partners are now discussing the sale of Israeli missile-bearing drones and spy satellites.

Thumbs up to orchestral manoeuvresAndrew Taylor
Published: February 1 2013 - 3:00AM
A live orchestra performing the theme music from a Nintendo video game sounds like a hard sell to Sydney Symphony subscribers schooled in the compositions of Beethoven or Bach.
The upcoming performances of The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses are undoubtedly one of the stranger offerings in the symphony's 2013 calendar.
But the conductor Eimear Noone is adamant the orchestra was not dumbing down.
Noone said the show's music director, Chad Seiter, had ''elevated'' the video game's soundtrack to ''the grand arena of the symphony''.
She said the music in Zelda was similar to Beethoven's Symphony No.6, Pastoral, which the Sydney Symphony will perform in March.
Noone said 90 per cent of the audience for Zelda would never have heard the symphony play.
''What's great about it is that a lot of our younger audience members who know these themes from playing the game don't quite realise they're hearing a full symphony,'' she said.
''We want this young audience to be as excited about the symphony orchestra as we are and extend their experience by going to your Beethoven Sixth,'' she added.
The Zelda game series features Link, a sort of teenage Robin Hood who travels the fictional land of Hyrule battling nasties including the villainous Ganon, while trying to save the hapless Princess Zelda.
Zelda is not the Sydney Symphony's first foray into video games. In 2007, the symphony performed Play! A Video Game Symphony, which featured music inspired by various video games, with scenes from animated images projected onto a screen behind the musicians.
The Herald critic Peter McCallum was not impressed: ''The players of the Sydney Symphony looked suitably embarrassed and, like me, stuck out like an SMS-mutated thumb in this audience of cool geeks.''
The concert's producer, Jason Michael Paul, said Zelda was the first symphony written for a video game and was performed by a 66-piece orchestra and 24-voice choir.
Paul created the concerts in 2011 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the franchise.
''What comes with this phenomenon is a very enthusiastic audience. It's a very youthful audience and they like to dress up,'' he said.
''These characters mean so much to them they want to almost try and mimic them.''
One fan of Zelda is Lisa Amoroso, who will attend the concerts with friends dressed-up as characters from the video game.
The 21-year-old from Emu Plains has never seen the Sydney Symphony perform but she said she had loved playing the Zelda games when she was a child.
''I think it will be quite nostalgic,'' she said. ''I love listening to the music. I've got it on my iPod.''
The Sydney Symphony plays The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, Feb 1 and 2.

Treasuries fell amid improving economic data, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index was flat as the worst slump for Apple in four years pulled technology shares lower and overshadowed better-than-forecast earnings. The yen weakened for the first time in four days against the dollar.
Ten-year Treasury yields rose two basis points to 1.84 per cent at 1:49 p.m. in New York. The S&P 500 erased gains after earlier topping 1,500 for the first time since 2007. Apple shares sank 12 per cent after the slowest profit growth since 2003. Japan's currency declined 1.4 per cent to 89.87 per dollar, while the Dollar Index was little changed. Oil helped lead commodities higher.
Treasuries fell as US jobless claims unexpectedly dropped last week to a five-year low, while the Conference Board's index of leading indicators rose in December by the most in three months in a sign the world's largest economy is poised to keep growing. US securities remained lower even after a $US15 billion auction in inflation-indexed 10-year debt drew a negative 0.63 per cent yield.
"There's high demand for some protection -- it tells you people are willing to pay a lot for that protection," said William Larkin, a fixed-income money manager who helps oversee $US500 million at Cabot Money Management Inc. in Salem, Massachusetts. As for the indirect bidders, "if you are a foreign central bank and you've got lots of US dollars to invest, TIPS make more sense. At least you have some protection against inflation."
TIPS Sales
The last six sales of 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities since January 2012 have drawn negative yield as investors sought a refuge from inflation amid the Federal Reserve's efforts to prop up the economy. Indirect bidders, a group that includes foreign central banks, bought 53.3 per cent of the amount sold today, compared with 48.3 per cent in the prior auction and an average of 42.3 per cent for the past 10 auctions.
Netflix Inc. and Xerox Corp. helped lead the earlier rally in stocks after reporting better-than-estimated earnings, joining the three-quarters of S&P 500 companies to top projections so far in the reporting season.
Netflix, the world's largest online-video service, rose as much as 44 per cent for its biggest gain ever after beating its forecast for fourth-quarter subscriber growth and posting an unexpected profit. Xerox, the provider of document and business services, rose 3.4 per cent as earnings beat analyst projections thanks to a shift away from the traditional printing business.
Apple Watch
Apple, the world's biggest company by market value, slumped as much as 12 per cent in its biggest decline on a closing basis since 2008. It was poised for its lowest closing price in almost a year Apple's stock accounts for 15 per cent of the Nasdaq-100 and 3.6 per cent of the S&P 500.
Profit in the quarter to Dec. 29 was little changed at $US13.1 billion, the company said. Sales rose 18 per cent to $US54.5 billion, falling short of $US54.9 billion, the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.
The S&P 500 rose to a five-year high in regular trading yesterday after US lawmakers voted to temporarily suspend the federal debt limit. The benchmark gauge of American stocks has climbed 5.1 per cent this year. Earnings have beaten the average analyst estimate at about 75 per cent of the 134 companies in the S&P 500 that released results so far in this reporting season, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Economic Data
Stock futures pared losses before the open of exchanges in New York after the government jobless-claims data. Applications for unemployment insurance payments decreased by 5,000 to 330,000 in the week ended Jan. 19, the fewest since the same week in 2008, the Labor Department said. Economists forecast 355,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
Two shares advanced for each that fell in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, which added 0.2 per cent to an almost two-year high. EasyJet Plc climbed 5.1 per cent as Europe's second-largest discount carrier said fiscal first-quarter sales gained 9.2 per cent. Opap SA tumbled 11 per cent in Athens as the European Union's highest court said Greece's gambling monopoly is unlawful. Logitech International SA, the world's biggest maker of computer mice, fell 9.6 per cent in Zurich after posting a third-quarter loss of $US195 million.
Silver for immediate deliver fell 1.7 per cent, the first drop in nine days, and nickel slipped 0.9 per cent. Oil climbed 1 per cent to $US96.13 a barrel and the spread between West Texas Intermediate crude and London-traded Brent narrowed amid speculation the Seaway pipeline will soon resume full shipments.
The yen weakened at least 0.6 per cent against all 16 major peers as Japan's deputy economy minister backed further declines. A yen at 100 to the dollar wouldn't be a problem, Yasutoshi Nishimura said in an interview in Tokyo, even after the currency's 11 per cent drop in the past three months.
Yen Watch
Nishimura's "comments reinforce investor expectations that the Japanese government would like to see dollar-yen extend its recent correction," Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in London, wrote in a report today.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 0.5 per cent as technology stocks led declines. South Korea's Kospi index slid 0.8 per cent after economic growth data missed estimates and North Korea threatened a nuclear test. Taiwan's Taiex lost 0.6 per cent. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.8 per cent.
The rupee was little changed at 53.6850 per dollar after falling to as low as 53.8913. India increased the limit on foreign investment in local-currency bonds by $US10 billion to $US75 billion, the central bank said.

Sensory Intelligence: Target Tracking and On-Line Classification
Yuichi Motai, School of Engineering, University of Vermont
Friday, May 23, 2008, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
The speaker will explain on-going projects at University of Vermont, focusing on dynamic framework of sensory intelligence systems in the following two areas: 1) target tracking and 2) on-line classification of target behavior. For target tracking, he has developed Extended Kalman filters for increasing the localization accuracy of the target, using Delta Quaternion and Iterated Multiple Models. For classification of target behavior, he has included incremental aspects in dynamic methodologies; On-line Principal Component Analysis, Incremental Multiple-class Support Vector Machine, and Incremental Decision Tree. The primary goals in these learning algorithms are to design intelligent systems that adapt to changes in target environments in a dynamic manner. These newly proposed algorithms for video streams are applied to many other domains; such as medical image database (joint work at the Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA) and satellite video streaming (with Air Force Research Lab at Hanscom, MA). He will specifically present how his studies fit well with medical applications more details at his new University.
About the Speaker
Dr. Yuichi Motai has been an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Vermont. He recently accepted a faculty position in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University, and in the process will launch a new research lab, called Sensory Intelligence Lab. His research interests are in the broad area of computational intelligence and applications for medicine; including medical imaging, computer vision, human-computer interaction, and sensor-based robotics. He earned his B.Eng. in Instrumentation Engineering at Keio University in 1991, his M.Eng. in Applied Systems Sciences at Kyoto University in 1993, and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University in 2002. He was a visiting assistant professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 2006. He has published more than 30 papers in peer-reviewed journals and competitive conference proceedings in the last 4 years.
