A hearty welcome, a contrite tone
Pope Benedict XVI, his white robes billowing in a cool breeze, arrived yesterday for his historic first visit to the United States, setting a contrite tone before he even touched down by telling reporters aboard his plane that the Catholic Church is "deeply ashamed" by the abuse crisis that has roiled American Catholicism. (By Michael Paulson, Boston Globe)
For local victims, too little, too late
Despite the most extensive and ardent papal condemnation of sexual abuse by Catholic priests since the scandal rocked the church six years ago, victims across Massachusetts angrily lashed out at Pope Benedict XVI's words yesterday, saying they rang hollow and false. (By Anna Badkhen, Boston Globe)
Many Mass. graduates unprepared in college

Despite economic struggles, shoppers continue to flock to the Champlain Centre Mall in Plattsburgh.
Marylou Shusda used to travel to Plattsburgh from Lyon Mountain two to three times weekly.
Over the past year that dropped to once every couple weeks.
"I definitely don't spend as much," she said.
Like other North Country residents, Shusda has felt the toll of a staggering economy and rising costs. She and many others cut back in 2011 and are hoping for a stronger 2012.
"I haven't changed my life drastically, but there have been a lot of small changes," Shusda said.
"Hopefully we can get the world straightened out."
In fact, Americans are slowly gaining faith that the economy is on an upswing due to a slightly improved job outlook that helped the Consumer Confidence Index rise to its highest level since April, according to a survey by The Conference Board.
The economy produced at least 100,000 new jobs for five straight months, a record not seen since 2006, though confidence is still far below where economists would like to see it.
At the same time, the number of Americans filing first-time claims for jobless benefits grew by 15,000 recently, to 381,000, according to the Employment and Training Administration.
An Associated Press poll of economists projected U.S. economic growth will speed up in 2012 as long as it is not obstructed by upheavals in Europe. The economy is expected to grow 2.4 percent in 2012, while in 2011 it grew less than 2 percent.
However, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently warned the U.S. economy is close to faltering and could be significantly impacted, for example, by a default in the Greek debt.
And while the economy may be on a shaky path to slow recovery, other numbers remain disturbing.
Since 2006/07, there has been a 17 percent increase in the number of school students receiving free and reduced lunch nationwide, according to a New York Times analysis.
That same analysis found that between 2008 and 2011, the number of those living on food stamps soared by 50 percent.
Catholic Charities reported that requests for the working poor were up 80 percent and 59 percent for the middle class.
Housing and auto sectors are expected to improve some, but remain below normal levels and, overall, unemployment is not projected to improve much in 2012, with 13.3 million Americas looking for work.
Yet an assessment of shoppers, conducted Dec. 1-14, found that those anticipating more jobs increased to 13.3 percent from 12.4 percent and those predicting fewer jobs declined to 20.1 percent from 23.8 percent.
"I think it was pretty evident that last year was financially tough on everyone," said Megan LaPorte of Plattsburgh. "Everyone is in debt nowadays. It used to not be like that."
Most people the 21-year-old knows struggle to cover rent and their bills. She finds that her friends spend much time worrying about money.
"You have to pay attention to every dime that goes out," LaPorte said. "I don't have any friends who can afford to go out."
She hopes for serious changes in a 2012.
"My only hope is the economy can get back to the point where it is not so difficult to afford the basic necessities."
David Drake believes that will require a change in administration. The Vermontville man would like to see someone new, specifically a republican and conservative, in the White House.
He's had to tighten his belt financially, including less travel and vehicle use.
"I think not enough has been done by the current administration to overcome this downward trend."
People like to blame the previous administration, but Drake believes that, "liberal policies are a very real part of the reason for this economic situation."

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - As fall arrived, so did a new season of leadership for U.S. Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (Airborne). Maj. Gen. David N. Blackledge relinquished command to Maj. Gen. Jeffrey A. Jacobs here Oct. 23, 2011.
Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, chief of the U.S. Army Reserve and commanding general of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, presided over the ceremony as Blackledge passed the unit colors to Jacobs symbolizing the change of command.
Stultz described Jacobs as a "well-known entity within the CA community."
Jacobs completed his assignment as commander of Contingency Command Post 2, United States Army North (Fifth Army) at Fort Sam Houston - a command and control element responsible for rapid deployment to natural disasters and emergencies in North America before assuming command of USACAPOC(A).
"He is a proven leader, he is the right man for the job, that is why he was hand selected for this command," said Stultz.
Jacobs assumed command of nearly 12,000 soldiers in 67 units across 30 states and Puerto Rico. "There is no better job for an officer than being a commander," said Jacobs.
USACAPOC(A) is five percent of the U.S. Army Reserve Command's force and is responsible for 20 percent of the Army Reserve deployments. USACAPOC(A) is home to 94 percent of the Department of Defense's CA capability and 71 percent of the DoD's military information support operations capability. Since 2001, USACAPOC(A) has mobilized and deployed more than 20,000 soldiers to 14 countries in support of the war on terror and assisting in humanitarian actions.
Since assuming command in 2009, Blackledge described the changes within USACAPOC(A).
"The unit has grown by more than 1,000 soldiers, activated, relocated, converted or re-aligned 66 CAPOC units, expanded educational opportunities for our soldiers including the creation and credentialing of a course at the Naval Post Graduate School, filled 178 separate requests for CAPOC support within Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn and various other contingency operations throughout the world and reached 114 percent of retention goals."
Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1979, Jacobs served seven years on active duty before joining the Army Reserves. Since his commission, Jacobs has served in Bosnia, Haiti and as the commander of the 354th Civil Affairs Brigade in Baghdad, Iraq. Most recently, he served as the commanding general of the 350th Civil Affairs Command, headquartered in Pensacola, Fla. He is decorated with the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Medal, earned the Ranger Tab.
Jacobs describes his intent as a commander to be "focused like a laser beam on a mission to provide trained and ready, disciplined and professional units and soldiers to the Army upon and combatant commanders."
Jacobs also mentioned that the command will provide support to the soldiers' families and quoted Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, chief of staff of the United States Army, saying the "strength of our soldiers is our families."
Following the ceremonial passing of the colors, Stultz described the resistance he felt as he took the colors out of Blackledge's hands and the significance of the approximate 3,000 [USACAPOC(A)] soldiers that are deployed around the world: "[This] didn't occur in spite of him, but it occurred because of him due to his leadership, dedication, vision, and guidance. It is because of his leadership that this command is the way it is today."
Among many achievements, Blackledge also helped to reduce the social stigma associated with soldiers seeking mental health treatment from war-related stress after being seriously injured in action in both 2004 and again in 2005.
Blackledge added in his speech, following a national announcement made by President Obama this week that, today, the last of the civil affairs soldiers will redeploy from Iraq, and next week, the bulk of the PSYOP forces will also redeploy from Iraq.
"I am so very proud of all of you, you have done a remarkable job to this nation," said Blackledge. "It has been a privilege to lead you, to serve with you and fight with you."
Blackledge has accepted the position with the United States Army Reserve Command where he will work Civil Affairs proponency matters until his retirement sometime next summer.
"I wish Maj. Gen. Blackledge the best of luck; he will be a hard act to follow," said Jacobs.

As Good Morning America co-anchor Josh Elliott so astutely points out as soon as this segment plays: "That guy is killing guys everywhere."
To boil this ridic story down, the groom in question, Ryan Leak, proposed to his longtime girlfriend Amanda Roman, and then, because he had planned the entire wedding himself to go off without a hitch that day, they got married that day.
Though they were not engaged, Amanda had been keeping a Pinterest board, you see, filled with a bajillion photos of ideas she loved for her "dream wedding." Ryan took those ideas and made them happen. And this wasn't some bare-bones, simple, small wedding, either. Take a look:

Impressive, huh? (And also: Are they not the cutest ever?) Something tells me they're going to have a pretty fun life together.

I've decided to start a weekly post clearly titled "Asshole of the Week" since there are some of you who have such epic comments they deserve to get some attention. Since you get to talk shit about us, why not return the favor?! While there's no way to ensure the same person is choosing the same username each week if you happened to have used that handle, then rock on. This week's asshole is:
Mike- congratulations. You succeeded in making me piss my pants this week with your usage of "poop crumbs." Mike so eloquently commented on the piece about the Situation/Palin PSA. His comments had NOTHING to do with the actual piece really, he just felt like sharing with the world that the "new media dude" in his office doesn't know how to wipe his own ass. Mike, we haven't seen many comments from you recently, so dropping this deuce on our site is truly heartwarming. Really. The laughs definitely got me through the week, so, thanks for being an asshole.

If an ATSC out will not work in real time, then we can atleast use the RP2A03 but the question is this. Is their an NES clone out there that can allow you to sodder the chip to the board, replacing the NOAC chip?
As far as ATSC goes, it's a work in progress.
Posted Mon Nov 30, 2009 3:00 AM
Posted Wed Dec 2, 2009 10:23 PM
You are now officially dead to me.
Because of clones, new software titles are being released on carts for the first time in over 10 years since Nintendo discontinued the NES. That is very rare, not even the Sega Master System or the Atari 7800 is seeing new titles.

Why are you so obsessed with this? It was never meant to be used for anything but non-interactive broadcast TV. It is not simply modulating a signal like NTSC RF. If all you want is one cable, that's what HDMI is for.
Guess your all set, now how do you get digital ATSC out to work in real time for the next version?

What Is The State Of Carmen Electra's Marriage?
There have been rumblings for months that the marriage of Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro has been in trouble. The pair has appeared at a few public events recently, but according to Star Magazine that's all been a front. Why the marriage problems? The couples schedules are totally different have made it hard for the two to spend any time together.
Since March, the two have hardly been together at all because Carmen is always traveling and she doesn't bother to let Dave know her schedule. Dave has tried to patch the marriage up but it wasn't to be.
And Carmen admitted earlier this year that their hectic schedules made it almost impossible for them to even think about starting a family. "We would like to have kids but we are apart so often that it's not easy," she admitted.
More photos of Carmen Electra playing some poker, after the jump.

Have you downloaded the Cards Diaspora app?
NO: I hate you guys. Why would I do that to my phone? (You're fine. Skip to the next post.)

Logically, after ticking off points, rebounds, assists and steals, it's time to move on to looking at late-round players who can help you in the blocks category. This is a list of big men, naturally, so most can help field goal percentage as well, but our focus today is on blocks. Listed below, in no particular order, are some players that will likely be available in the later rounds of your fantasy drafts and can help fulfill your need for blocks. As always, let us know what you think.
1. Roy Hibbert (C – Pacers): This boy's been bananas lately, averaging a league-best 3.67 blocks per game in a little less than 25 minutes per game in six preseason matches. He seems to be bursting at the seams with signs of a breakthrough season but still isn't getting much respect in fantasy drafts. His penchant for drawing fouls (3.1 in 14:24 per game last year) is a damper on his sky-high potential, but with the starting center spot secured, Hibbert should offer great late-round value, especially in the blocks department.
2. Chris Andersen (PF/C – Nuggets): In just 20:36 per game last year, Birdman was second in the League with 2.5 blocks per game. He's backing up the vulnerable Nene and should see more playing time this season, which means he'll be a one-man wrecking crew with his blocking skills. If your team is set with everything else and needs a bit of a push with blocks, slotting in Andersen as one of your utility players could lead your team to many wins in the blocks column.
3. Joel Przybilla (C – Blazers): He'll likely play behind the fragile Greg Oden, but no matter how many minutes the "Vanilla Gorilla" gets, he should help your squad round out with a decent amount of blocks. He's averaged 1.6 blocks in just 20:36 per game throughout his nine-year career and will drop to the lower rungs of most drafts. Przybilla is seen mostly as Oden insurance, but even as a backup he'll offer a reliable number blocks for your squad.
4. Chris Kaman (C – Clippers): He suffered through a forgettable, injury-riddled 2008-09 season but appears ready to take steps toward a comeback this year. He has been mediocre in the preseason but has averaged 2.17 blocks, tying him for third in the League. Kaman will likely have his share of struggles as he eases back into full-time work on the floor but should eventually get his legs back and will be a great late pick for your team's blocking needs.
5. Ronny Turiaf (PF/C – Warriors): Turiaf blocked 2.1 shots in just 21:30 per game last season, making him third behind Dwight Howard and the aforementioned Andersen. Warriors coach Don Nelson has experimented with a tall lineup that includes both Turiaf and the team's starting center, Andris Biedrins, though this lineup probably won't play on most nights. Turiaf's minutes aren't guaranteed to increase this season, but he's shown that he doesn't need much to work with to significantly boost your fantasy team's blocks.
Others to consider: Samuel Dalembert, Kendrick Perkins, Marc Gasol, Spencer Hawes, Erick Dampier, JaVale McGee, DeSagana Diop, Greg Oden, Jermaine O'Neal

We will be docked in Sitka on May 14th, 8am to 4pm. We are interested in a wildlife tour. The ship offers a Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest through Allen Marine. Has anyone taken this tour? We would love to see puffins and sea otters. Someone recommended Davey at puffinsandwhales.com. Any suggestions or advice is welcome.
It really depends what sort of tour you're after, and only YOU can decide... The Allen Marine tour will feature you and 150 of your closest friends on a ship about 65' long and 2-stories high.
Davey Lubin's tour is a smaller boat, and a much more personal tour of the area. Chances are, it will just be your group aboard, as I believe he maxes at 6 guests per trip.
The last time I was in Sitka (personal trip aboard the Can Can, not a charter or tour) we couldn't find puffins anywhere until we got to St. Lazaria Island. I don't suspect the Allen Marine tours get out that far, so it's a question to ask each vendor. I'm sure, if the weather permits, Davey Lubin will be happy to go wherever necessary if puffins are of interest to you. I also see the Esther G II is listed as having earned 4 stars (out of 5), so without seeing the vessel, I would still feel comfortable recommending the boat.
It all really boils down to whether you're the tour-on-a-motorcoach type, or the sort who travels and sees things a bit more independently, as a local would do it.
Happy Alaska Travels!

Bear Lake •
Surface water temperature is 70 degrees. Lake trout and cutthroat trout fishing has been good and will only get better as the water starts to cool. The mornings at Bear Lake have been very brisk indeed this week. The hot spots are off the Gus Rich Point area on the flats in about 70-85' of water. Best luck has come from trolling minnow lure with rattles, crankbaits with rattles, and flatfish close to the bottom.
We've also had some good reports from anglers fishing along the east side at 1st and 2nd Points and off the Cisco Beach area. Jigging or trolling in depths of 60-90 feet have produced the best results. Tube jigs tipped with cisco or sucker meat has been working for the jiggers and trollers are using minnow-type lures with rattles or flatfish trolled from downriggers near the bottom.
Garden City Community Fishery Pond •
The pond has been stocked with the last load of catchable-sized rainbows for the year. Several of these fish are tagged with a small metal tag on the dorsal fin. This is for the Garden City Outdoor Heritage Days festival on September 7th and 8th. Fishing should be excellent. Try using flies behind a bubble or try worms and powerbait fished either under a bobber about 2 feet down or fished right on the bottom. Use hopper or bee patterns in dry flies and woolly buggers and bead-head nymphs with wet flies. For more information on the tagged fish contest please contact the Town Garden City for more information 435-946-2901.
Laketown Reservoir •
Water levels are average and fishing has been fair for hold-over rainbows from last year. These fish are 16-19" long and up to almost 3 pounds. It will not be stocked again this summer. Try wet flys such as woolly buggers or worms fished on the bottom or powerbait and worms.

I have been volunteering at Animal Humane lately, working with dogs that are timid, shy or otherwise difficult to place in a new forever home. Recently, a young dog came in who was shot in the jaw and left for dead. The folks at the shelter named him "Casino" because he was found wandering around a Casino just outside of Albuquerque. I was asked to do some Reiki energy work on him because he was obviously in a bad way. Because he was young and such a sweet dog, the vets in the shelter had taken the time, effort and expense to rewire and reconstruct his jaw.

Wasted is one term, moody, and irrational alongside doing an Ounce a week made him so wishy washy even the fumes were getting people high 30 feet down the corridor were other Clerical offices were - it was a running joke in the building! The guy had deficits after 30 years of HEAVY use, that was as obvious as a drunken "Gurning Smile"! Once again for me - It's free will and personal preference! Often just a toke is enough!

JERUSALEM (Dec. 9)
A call for a "holy war" against the Conservative movement was spiced here last night by Rabbi Morris Sherer, executive vice president of the Agudas Israel of America, at a meeting here of representatives of the world organization from eight countries. Rabbi Sherer told the conference that the Conservative movement, which recently announced a decision to set up world headquarters in Jerusalem, is a greater danger to Orthodox Judaism than Reform.
The 45 delegates resolved to "alert world Jews and especially the Jewish community of Israel" to the Conservative decision to establish here a world council of Conservative synagogues. Rabbi Sherer said the danger from Conservative Judaism sprang from the fact that it adheres to more of the traditions of Judaism and thus may confuse and mislead the people, particularly in Israel which, he said, was undergoing a religious revival.

I had an open Rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago and I really don't like the way my nose looks. I had my nose made smaller, nostrils narrowed, made it come to a point and the bump removed. It looks some what okay in the mirror, but in photos, it just looks big and wide. Is this swelling? How can I determine what's swollen? One side is a little larger than the other and there's an indentation on the left side.
Nose Looks Big and Wide After Rhinoplasty
Doctor Answers 5
Too early to tell
Since it has only been five weeks since your rhinoplasty, it is still too early to tell the full effect of the nose yet. There is still a significant amount of swelling in the five weeks after an open rhinoplasty, and it will take a considerable amount of time, approximately a year, before the swelling will resolve entirely. Your nose will look narrower and less wide both in the tip and the bridge as the swelling subsides, but the change will be rather subtle at this point on a month-to-month basis.

Rhinoplasty; Swelling or Not (5 Weeks Post-op)...That is the Question
Hi Jack,
It is too soon to get too excited about how much of your result is still swelling and how much is your new nose. Be patient and allow nature to take it's course. Discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon, and schedule frequent follow up appointments for your own piece of mind if you continue to have concerns.
If still are unhappy at 6 to 12 months, then it is time to get more excited, and consider revision surgery.
Dr. P
Most likley due to the swelling
Five weeks is still early to see the final results of a rhinoplasty, and it is not uncommon for the swelling to persist for up to a year. I tell patients to expect about 80% of the swelling to resolve within the first 6 weeks, and the final 20% will take up to a year to settle.
My advice would be to be patient, but convey your concerns to your surgeon. What you're describing, however, sounds very normal.

Be patient!
Recovery from rhinoplasty is an exercise in patience! When performed via the open approach (an incision made in the skin between the nostrils), swelling in the tip may last 6-12 months. You can be sure the nose is swollen if it feels hard when you push down on the tip. Often when one side looks more swollen than the other, it is because you slept with that side down and the swelling shifted.
You should notice a steady improvement in your nasal appearance over time, however, the tip will be the last area to improve. It may take a full year to see the final definition of your tip.
It takes 1-3 years for the swelling to fully go down after a rhinoplasty. The tip takes the longest time to heal and mold to the new framework because it is the thickest skin of the nose. The skin over the profile is thinner than the skin over the tip. The only true way to understand if it is swelling or not is to get a post op consultation with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
All the best,

India is aggressively moving to protect domestic companies with more news trickling in on safeguard and antidumping duties. The government is planning to initiate safeguard duty investigations on Chinese imports of 12-13 products from the chemicals and base metals sector, says this report in the Business Standard.
This comes after the government decided on 30 January to impose a safeguard duty of 31% on soda ash imports from China. A consortium of companies, which included Tata Chemicals, claim that Chinese imports which had averaged 4,041 tonnes during April-October 2008 had sharply increased to 10,000 tonnes in November 2009 and 15,000 tonnes in December 2009.
The government also introduced a 25% safeguard duty on phthalic anhydride (PA) imports which will last until 26 August 2009.
And the government is considering levying provisional antidumping duty of $0.84-$0.92/kg on imports of all grades of nylon tyre cord fabric from Belarus. The country's antidumping authority is also separately recommending the levy of definitive ADD on NTCF imports from China.
An antidumping probe has also been launched on polypropylene (PP) imports from Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Oman.
So how do you reconcile this news with the recent statement by the G20 finance ministers that the countries would make efforts to end trade protectionism?

D800 video question: using power aperture. Why is it locked?
First off, I am not a video expert but do attempt to have basic competency with shooting a video clip, so I am coming from a position of less than my usual knowledge base here... Regarding page 322 of the D800 manual, there is this statement:
Power Aperture Power aperture is available only in exposure modes g and h and can not be used during recording or while photo shooting info is displayed (a SYMBOL_HERE icon indicates that power aperture can not be used). The display may flicker while aperture is adjusted.
So, this might be a dumb question, but: I thought the entire point of power aperture was to have smooth aperture transitions during the actual recording of a clip. If you cannot use it "during recording" then what on earth is the purpose of having it at all???
I have tried using it, and indeed it does exactly what the manual says: I can power aperture between recordings (which is useless, because between recordings I can change the aperture the normal way), and during recordings it is locked out with the flashing symbol indicated in the manual (which is even more useless).
May I hazard a guess that maybe it's possible to record the HDMI feed of the live view when the camera itself is not recording and perhaps thus that this feature is only available to those using an external HDMI recording device? That's the only guess I got.
Any explanation from more video savvy person much appreciated.

London - Three fatal airline crashes in a week mean 2014 is shaping up to become the worst year in almost a decade for passenger fatalities.
The disappearance of a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft on the fringes of the Sahara desert on Thursday follows the loss of an ATR-72 turboprop in storms in Taiwan on Wednesday and the downing of Malaysian Air Flight MH17 over Ukraine last week.
The African incident involving a plane operating for Air Algerie takes the potential 2014 toll to 680 travellers, assuming those on the jet died, higher than 12-month totals for the past three years, according to air-safety consultants at Ascend Worldwide. With five months remaining, a further 111 deaths would make this the most lethal year since 2005, when 916 lives were lost, though Ascend's head of safety Paul Hayes said the direction in accident-related fatalities is still down.
"It's important to look at the long term trends," Hayes said in an interview. "What looks likes a 'good' or 'bad' year - let alone just seven months - by itself means nothing. Fatal accidents are now so rare that one or two more can completely change the numbers."
Fatalities in 2014 involving aircraft seating more than 14 people have come in six incidents, compared with 162 deaths in 10 incidents in 2013, he said.
Only three of this year's events appear to be accidents of the kind that would ordinarily be included in Ascend's safety analysis, which excludes war and terror-related losses beyond airlines' control, Hayes said.
The disappearance of Malaysian Airline Flight 70 after the Boeing 777 doubled back on its route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and disappeared over the India Ocean may have involved pilot malpractice, experts have said.
About 227 passengers were travelling on the March 8 service.
Malaysian Air Flight 17, which crashed a week ago on Thursday, killing all 283 passengers, was most likely downed by a ground- to-air missile strike in eastern Ukraine, the United States has said.
Black-box flight recorders from the plane, also a 777, are undergoing analysis in Britain, with the examination of bodies also under way as experts seek evidence of the rocket attack.
Another incident classified as non-accidental saw a woman killed on a Pakistan International Airlines flight after the Airbus Group A310 jet with 196 passengers aboard came under fire while landing in the northwestern city of Peshawar. The incident came two weeks after a Taliban attack on Pakistan's biggest airport in Karachi killed 36 people, none on aircraft.
The three other fatal events involved crashes more typical of airline accidents over the decades, with 44 passengers killed Wednesday when a TransAsia Airways Corp. ATR-72 came down as it prepared to land on Taiwan's outlying Penghu Islands.
The turboprop was on a second approach to Magong Airport when it went down amid heavy rains from tropical storm Matmo.
About 110 passengers were aboard the flight from Ouagadougou to Algiers lost over the northern Sahel today and thought to have crashed somewhere in Mali. The plane's flight crew asked air traffic controllers for permission to divert to avoid a storm about 40 minutes after takeoff, Burkina Faso Transport Minister Jean Bertin Ouedraogo told reporters.
About 15 travellers also died when a Nepal Airlines de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter turboprop plane crashed into jungle on a 7 000-foot hillside in poor weather on February 16. - Washington Post

Dale back on track, Bees buzzing
Rochdale ended a run of four successive defeats with a 4-1 win over third-placed Cheltenham in League Two, while Southend and Barnet also won.
Last Updated: 21/12/12 10:52pm
Rochdale striker Bobby Grant's 25-yard effort gave the hosts a 38th-minute lead and Ashley Grimes doubled the lead from similar distance just before the break.
Phil Edwards' own goal three minutes into the second half brought the visitors back into the contest - but Grimes (67) and Dele Adebola (69) rounded off an emphatic success.
Southend consolidated their place in the play-off positions with a 3-0 win over Chesterfield, with goals from Ryan Cresswell (51) and Gavin Tomlin (61 and 69).
Barnet started Friday night bottom of the table but Ricky Holmes' hat-trick set up a 3-2 win over Burton which lifts them out of the relegation places.
Billy Kee's 16th-minute penalty gave Burton the lead but Holmes equalised three minutes before half-time and wrapped up his treble with a 53rd-minute penalty and a low shot in the 66th minute.
Jacques Maghoma struck from the spot for the Brewers in added-on time but Barnet held on to claim all three points.

In yesterday's post I covered the bare bones basics of creating audio with the Web Audio API. In this post, I'll demonstrate one way to start creating some interactivity.
One of the simplest and most dynamic ways to capture interactivity on a computer is by simply reading the mouse position. The strategy for this next experiment is to use the mouse's y-position to control the frequency of a single oscillator. The code for this is super simple:
window.onload = function() { var context = new window.webkitAudioContext(), osc = context.createOscillator(), h = window.innerHeight; osc.connect(context.destination); osc.start(0); document.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) { osc.frequency.value = e.clientY / h * 1000 + 300; }); };
Create an AudioContext and an oscillator, get the window dimensions, connect and start the oscillator and listen for mousemove events.
In the mousemove handler, e.clientY / h will be a number from 0 to 1. Multiply this by 1000 and add 300 and you'll have a frequency from 300 to 1300. This gets assigned to the oscillator's frequency value. Move your mouse around the screen and get different pitches. Simple.
Remember, the above has only been tested in the latest version of Chrome at the time of this writing. Other configurations may work; some may require some changes.
Now what about they x-axis? Yesterday you had two oscillators going. Let's try to hook the mouse's x-position to that second oscillator.
window.onload = function() { var context = new window.webkitAudioContext(), osc = context.createOscillator(), osc2 = context.createOscillator(), gain = context.createGain(), w = window.innerWidth, h = window.innerHeight; osc.frequency = 400; osc.connect(context.destination); osc.start(0); gain.gain.value = 100; gain.connect(osc.frequency); osc2.frequency.value = 5; osc2.connect(gain); osc2.start(0); document.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) { osc.frequency.value = e.clientY / h * 1000 + 200; osc2.frequency.value = e.clientX / w * 30 + 5; }); };
This is much the same as the final code from yesterday, but now you're using the mouse x- and y-positions to control the frequencies of both oscillators. Move your mouse all over the screen now and you'll get all kinds of science-fictiony sounds. I picture a 1950's flying saucer taking off, or maybe an alien ray gun. Mess with the frequency ranges of both oscillators and try changing the oscillator types for both – mix and match square, sawtooth and triangle waves for all kinds of interesting results.

I ENDORSE the views expressed by Syed Abu Riaz in his letter (March 16) on the EOBI pension scale.
I too receive a sum of Rs3,600 a month as pension from the EOBI. I agree with his concern on the meagre pension amount being paid to senior citizens. This amount is too small as compared to the high cost of living and inflation in the country. Senior citizens, on account of their age factor, are vulnerable to a number of diseases. Hence, they need a reasonable amount every month to meet their medical expenses, etc.
The government, as well as the EOBI management, may kindly double the EOBI pension amount to Rs7,200 a month effective Jan 1.

Woodbury boys swimming & diving: Royals' Bennett, Carr, Ho qualify for state meet
The Woodbury boys swimming and diving team is sending three swimmers and divers to the 2014 Class AA state meet.
Woodbury sophomore Will Ho is returning to the state meet for a second-straight year. Ho finished in second place in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 0.12 seconds – which was also over two seconds under the state qualifying time and just .37 back of the first-place finisher, East Ridge senior Sam Scholz.
Ho finished 10th in last year's Class AA state meet with a time of 1 minute, 0.86 seconds in the finals of the 100-yard breaststroke - just outside of an all-state (top eight) performance.
Woodbury sophomore Brady Bennett punched his first ticket to the state meet, taking second place in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:01.07.
Also, Woodbury sophomore diver Ian Carr reached the state meet, taking fourth place in the section diving competition. Carr had a score of 329.15. Stillwater diver Colin Eason took first with 384.05 points. Also in the diving contest, Woodbury freshman Tyler Long earned eighth place (302 points), sophomore Nick Gartner took 13th place (270.20) and freshman Mark Spannbauer finished in 15th place (244.05).
Woodbury was close to sending more swimmers to state.
Woodbury sophomore Garrett Norsten will have to wait another year to make his first state meet. Norsten was fourth in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:01.59 – just .86 off the state cut time. He also finished in fourth place in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:03.13 – only .73 from state.
Also, the Royals 200-yard freestyle relay team of freshman Eric Fong, senior Eric Westfall, Bennett and Norsten took third place with a time of 1:31.17 – just .73 off the cut time.
As a team, Woodbury took third place out of eight teams at the Section 4AA meet with 295 points. Though it only had two first-place finishes Stillwater used its profound depth to win the Section 4AA championship with 525 points. East Ridge took second place with 376 points.
Woodbury finished third in Section 4AA last year as well, but Ho was the lone Royal to reach state.
The 2013-14 Class AA state meet will take place this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center in Minneapolis. The swim prelims will be held Thursday, the diving prelims will be Friday and all finals will be held Saturday night.

Sheriffs Office solves 30-year-old cold case
By TBN WEB STAFF
Article published on
Monday, May 19, 2014
An old booking photo of Lawrence Warren Pierce
Fingerprints on a beer can led Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives to a suspect in a 30-year-old case of sexual battery on a 17-year-old girl in unincorporated Pinellas Park.
Detectives secured an arrest warrant May 8 and served the warrant for sexual battery on Lawrence Warren Pierce, 54, at the Bledsoe County Correctional Complex in Pikeville, Tennessee on May 14.
The case began March 26, 1984 when deputies responded to a report of a sexual battery at a Pinellas Park apartment. The unidentified teen told deputies that a man had knocked on her door to ask for directions to a bar. She told the man she did not know. He then forced his way inside, locking the door behind him. He asked the victim out on a date.
The 17-year-old told deputies that she had lifted her 2-month old baby out of the crib, thinking the suspect would not harm her with the baby in her arms. She sat down on the couch and began to give the baby a bottle of milk.
Detectives said the man then sat next to her and began fondling her. He took the baby out of her arms and placed it back in the crib. He threw the teen onto her bed, removed her clothing and sexually battered her. The teen fought the man. She kicked him and bit him. Eventually he left.
The teen was able to give deputies a good description of the man and the vehicle he was driving. She also was able to provide information from the conversation between the two.
Crime scene investigators collected several fingerprints, including one from a Budweiser Tall Boy beer can that the man left at the scene. A neighborhood canvass and a composite sketch yielded no leads. The case eventually went cold because the fingerprints did not match anyone detectives could identify at the time. Through the years, the sheriffs office processed the prints on multiple occasions with no matches found.
In November of 2013, an AFIS latent print examiner ran the prints again and discovered a possible match from the FBI database. In December, the sheriffs office confirmed that the prints belonged to Pierce.
Detectives from the Crimes Against Children Unit with the assistance of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement re-opened the investigation. Detectives conducted hours of meticulous research on the victim and the suspect, conducted multiple interviews and corroborated information to secure a solid case.
Pierce began serving time April 1, 2013 at the Bledsoe County Correctional Complex for violation of probation on a sexual battery and kidnapping charge from 2001. During an in-depth interview with Pierce, detectives found out that Pierce was in Florida during the time of the incident. In addition, detectives corroborated the victims original statements regarding the incident and confirmed details of the conversation between the two.
During the interview, detectives confirmed specific details of Pierces description as well as a description of the vehicle he was operating, which matched the one described by the victim.
Detectives believe there may be more victims and are asking anyone with information about the case to call Detective Jason Stibbard of the Crimes Against Children Unit at 727-582-6200.

North Carolina F Graves dismissed from team
Posted October 7, 2010
Will Graves has been dismissed from the University of North Carolina men's basketball team for failure to comply with team rules, head coach Roy Williams announced today.
"This is 100 percent not related to any NCAA matters on campus," said Williams in a statement to the media.
"I hate this for Will. He worked extremely hard this summer to get himself physically in the best shape he's been in years, but he did not do everything he needed to do to be a part of our basketball program. This is a huge blow to our team, but an even bigger blow for Will. Playing for the Tar Heels meant so much to him."
The fifth-year senior forward was suspended for a portion of the 2008-2009 season for the same reason.
The sharp-shooter averaged just under ten points a game for the Heels last year when he was the team's third-leading scorer.

Abduction/Robbery in Springfield
Franconia Police District: Police are investigating the report of an abduction and robbery that occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 9, in the 6100 block of Cumberland Avenue.
The victim, a 22-year-old man, was coming out of his home when he was approached by three men. One of the men displayed a handgun and forced the victim into his own vehicle, a red, 1998 Honda, four-door. All three suspects got into the vehicle as well. They drove the victim to two banks and forced him to withdraw an undisclosed amount of cash. The victim was then driven to an unknown location and forced into the trunk of his car; then driven a short distance. One of the suspects opened the trunk, displayed a knife and cut the victim slightly; the injury was non life-threatening. He was instructed to remain in the trunk until the suspects made their escape. When the victim got out of the trunk, he was in the area of Piedmont Place, near Braddock Road.
The suspects were all described as black males between 18 and 25 years of age. All were wearing hooded jackets. Two had masks on and the third covered his face with a cloth.
