Happy hamlets and natural reserves in the Pistoia plain
Read the story of Agliana on Agliana Born on the via Cassia The rise and fall of Agliana is due to its importance as a trade postRead the story
Agliana, with its distinctive quadrilateral shape edged by the Bure, Calice, Ombrone and Brana waterways, is brought to life by the hamlets of Spedalino, San Piero, San Niccolò and San Michele, as Agliana is none other than a name for the grouping of villages.
The main attraction is the Spedalino Asnelli, once an important hospital complex and now a lively village on the plain.
The lovely Sandro Pertini park leads to the center of San Piero, where the Church of San Piero and the Chapel of Santissimo Sacramento stand in piazza Gramsci.At Muccaia, the strip of land between the Brana and Ombrone waterways, you can get an idea of the unique features of this fertile plain. Agliana Park is a nice place to take a relaxing walk in the woods. Upon crossing the Mugnone brook you find Villa Baldi, while the Querciola Nature Area is an interesting place to observe nature in the Pistoia plain.

"Spare an Education?" Feature, 8/15
Tax Us, Please
California schools, roads, parks, etc., could all regain their prime status of the 1950s and 1960s with one simple change. We should go back to the tax codes of the years when schools and infrastructure were first in the nation. Californians (and other Americans) need to eliminate the "no taxes" mantra. Public services cost, and we should be paying.
Joanne Sandstrom, Oakland
Not Local Enough
As an alumna, I was surprised that your article about the rising costs of college ignored Mills College, one of the East Bay's great educational resources. Instead, your writer focused on two Catholic colleges and two Peninsula schools. East Bay readers would have been better served with truly local information, or national information about private college costs for comparison.
Jessica Hilberman, Oakland
Wrong Numbers
Your article on costs of attending public universities in California misstates the tuition and fees charged by them and by other institutions. Although Cal estimates that the total cost of attending exceeds $20,000 per year, only $7,800 of that is fees. The major cost is housing. Thus, much of the solution lies in reducing housing costs.
Gordon Danning, Berkeley
Pricey Housing
Your article on rising college costs fails to separate out the tuition and fees from housing costs, which makes useful comparisons difficult, and hides what may be an issue worth its own reporting. Housing "on-campus" at UC Berkeley is generally much more expensive than housing in the community, even factoring in the costs of going to Blondie's every night. Is this true at Stanford, or UMich, or UVA? How much of the increase in costs at UC Berkeley is due to increased housing costs, versus increased "fees"?
When I started at UCB in 1984, fees were about $1,500 a year, but housing in the dorms was over $6,000. From $7,500 to $20,000 from 1984 to 2007 is a lot, but how much of that is paying for Berkeley's housing construction boom of the '90s versus paying for the legislature's neglect of education?
Anthony Argyriou, Alameda
Jeremy Singer-Vine responds
While housing costs are rising, student fees are rising at a higher rate. Between academic year 2000-01 and 2006-07, Cal's room and board which the university does not disaggregate rose roughly $4,400, a 51 percent increase. Student fees, meanwhile, rose by $3,700, a 91 percent increase.
"Not Dead Yet," Water Cooler, 8/22
Gonads Intact
Thanks for the excellent article about the Northern California Media Workers Guild battle with Dean Singleton's MediaNews empire. Just one complaint about the headline: Gelded?
Ouch! (said in high-pitched voice). We hope we're not being overly sensitive, but that stung (to say the least).
We assure you that the guild is fully intact despite the pronouncements of MediaNews executives. We're committed to continuing to represent our members at the Singleton newspapers. And we're eager to welcome the fine folks at The Contra Costa Times into the fold.

"Dellums' Scarlet Letter," News, 8/15
Forgotten Dream
[Barbara] Lee, Dellums, and company have forgotten Martin Luther King Jr.: "It's not the color of our skin, it's the content of our character." If they represent the best the "progressives/socialists" have to offer, Animal Farm will become a closer reality. Thank you, EBX, for telling the unbridled truth. Chauncey Bailey RIP.
Frank Christensen, Oakland
Treat Pols Fairly
The shock and tragedy of Bailey's murder allegedly done by members of Your Black Muslim Bakery was heartfelt by most individuals in the Bay Area, and politicians as well. I think it rather sick for the Express to attempt to somehow put the death of Bailey on politicians such as Lee or Dellums instead of on the actions of a sick group of people who committed this act.
Politicians write letters and support for a lot of businesses and institutions that they find out later went the wrong way. If they don't write these letters, let's acknowledge what will happen when a publication like the Express gets word then writes a demeaning article about the failure of a politician to support a community institution. Of course politicians in retrospect made a crucial mistake by supporting what appears to be a criminal institution however, the main fault should lie at the foot of law enforcement and the institutions that should have held them accountable.
The Express should go through its own archives from 2002 and begin identifying all these individuals who were aware of the wrongdoings at the bakery and in a position to address these issues, particularly from the law enforcement perspective. Attempting to somehow dump the Bailey assassination and tragedy onto the lap of Ron Dellums is a big stretch and seriously unfair.
There is genuine distrust of the white "system" by the black community and black politicians alike, and news media with its sick myopic approach to black politicians tends to make us even more paranoid. The process in a sense is what continually allows organizations within the black community to navigate between the cracks and often maintain no-longer-warranted legitimacy. This happens because as we see in this article, a mayor with decades of good service and integrity can by sleight of hand and one minor degree of association be categorized with murderers and assassins instead of being seen as one of the many whose good intentions were exploited.
Malik Russell, Oakland
"Economic Improvisation," Music, 8/22
Survive and Prosper
So is the question one of stick to one style and die, or open things up so there can still be a venue for that particular style of jazz? Come on. To ask that a place close down to make a statement, to show that they won't acknowledge something of the tastes of those within the community, is ridiculous. If you're a small-enough space that doesn't need many people to keep the doors open, so be it, and the small spaces are an important part of any city's scene. But it seems that this is another matter altogether. A business either survives or dies on its choices, and fans of any music have to either understand that or remain confused and/or bitter about the reality around them.
Yoshi's survival means that they will be able to do many of the things they've done for years, and in the end, the people benefit on all sides.
Cornelius Delro, Detroit
Yoshi's May Succeed
It's a gutsy expansion, but I think it can work. There's more competition in SF, but Yoshi's is a recognized brand name and that'll give them a certain level of trade from opening day forward. As far as some Bay Area musicians being rankled, well, too bad. You can pout about having limited access to venues, or you can wail about having no venues. They can always open their own clubs if they find the current scene lacking or is that a risk none of them can stomach?
Dan Berkes, San Francisco
Crossover Appeal
The correct name of the band mentioned in the third paragraph is Orquesta La Moderna Tradición, not Orquesta La Moderna. (I'm the pianist with the band, which was formed here in Oakland in 1996 and has a Web site at Danzon.com.) It was a treat to see the band mentioned in a positive light, and while hardcore jazzers might dispute its relevance to Yoshi's, the music we play often appeals to a crossover audience, not just to dancers.

Its rare to find a modern Japanese pen with a non-cartridge or converter ink filling system, but the Pilot Custom Heritage 92 is a beautiful blend of traditional and modernity with its piston filling ink system and beautiful contemporary design. You can suction ink into the pen by twisting the nob on the back of the barrel. The pen has a 1.2 ml ink capacity, and the transparent design allows you to enjoy the colors of your ink as you write.
Each pen is outfitted with a handcrafted 14k nib that is responsive enough to create character nuance as you draw, write and sketch. Pen also features a screw-on cap for extra security. How do you use it?Responsible for your own use is located. Nib : Medium (M) nib #5. The converter is not available.
Greatest diameter : 14.7 mm. I become handled as cancellation when over. Ryosuke Namiki, who was an alumnus and professor of Tokyo Nautical School, successfully invented a gold writing tip for fountain pens and established Namiki Manufacturing Co. In 1918 with 200,000 yen in capital to start the production and sales of fountain pens.
Namiki's success owed to the collaboration from his friend and classmate Masao Wada. In 1938, the corporate name was changed to the Pilot Pen Co. A ring buoy, the company emblem, stands for the spirit of overcoming difficulties to be unsinkable in a rough sea and the strong ties of friendship. In succeeding years, our products, such as fountain pens, mechanical pencils, roller ball pens, and marking pens, evolved to be widely used in foreign markets.Thereby, the corporate brand of Pilot became famous as high-quality Pilot and regarded as a synonym for writing instruments. However, our voyage up to the present date was never easy. We had to overcome thousands of wild waves. In 1989, due to our strategy of business diversification, the corporate name was changed to Pilot Corporation.
In January 2002, Pilot Group Holdings Corporation was established by stock transfer, jointly from Pilot Corporation, The Pilot Ink Co. And The Pilot Precision Co.For business restructuring of the group. As a part of the restructuring, the corporate name was changed to PILOT CORPORATION after the merger of Pilot Group Holdings Corporation and Pilot Corporation in July 2003. The merger was a source of an operating holding company with functions of mobile sales, product planning, and production in addition to the original function of management strategies for group companies. In 2008, PILOT CORPORATION merged with The Pilot Precision Co. For the purpose of improving cost competitiveness and technological development capabilities in the writing instruments business by swiftly uniting production functions and manpower in the group. By the full use of strong brands, high technical and product capabilities, as well as excellent manpower, PILOT CORPORATION seeks to grow largely as a leader of the Pilot Group. The item "Pilot NAMIKI Custom HERITAGE92 #5 M nib Transparence NC 14kt Fountain Pen" is in sale since Monday, March 25, 2019. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Pens & Writing Instruments\Pens\Fountain Pens\Pilot".
The seller is "pisuke2005" and is located in Tokyo. This item can be shipped worldwide.

In music, an artistic collaboration may bring together artists of different styles, genres or even generations. In literature, a collaborative work may put on display the writing talents of authors across different literary realms. Collaboration, therefore, has to do with bringing together elements that may not be completely alike or in synch.
Similarly, Massachusetts residents can now seek to end their marriages in a collaborative way. It can make sense for the right couple: when a couple decides that it is time to separate it is highly likely that the partners to the failing relationship are starting to experience differences between them. In a collaborative divorce, those differences are acknowledged and solutions to conflict are actively sought out.
The collaborative approach to ending a marriage is not for everyone. Generally, couples who have few disputes do better in the process than couples who battle over every small decision that must be made. In essence, a collaborative divorce allows otherwise agreeable partners to work through the ends of their marriages without the court's interference.
From time to time, however, a collaborative divorce hits a point of contention through which it simply cannot proceed. Rather than going to court to settle the dispute, the divorcing parties and their legal representatives can utilize the services of a mediator. Previous posts on this blog have discussed the role of mediation in divorce; though a mediator does not advocate for one party or resolution, he or she can talk parties through their options for finding peace on a point of contention.
Collaborative law extends to the family law world through collaborative divorce. The process allows couples to talk through issues and find harmony to their conflicts outside of a courtroom. While accord is generally found in a collaborative divorce, couples can settle their differences in the process through the utilization of mediation.

What is TYPSimSelector?
The TYPSimSelector sorts identity by state (IBS) values derived from SNP datasets
using PLINK v1.07 for accessions in the Ames Diversity Panel
(Romay et al., 2013).
The tool available here was conceived and implemented originally by Mark Millard at
the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS) to enable the use
of genomic similarity for germplasm management. Recognizing that this sort of
analysis would be useful for others as well, a collaboration to deploy the
mechanism via MaizeGDB was initiated in 2013.
This tool was developed by Emily Mauch with guidance from Carson Andorf,
Mark Millard, Cinta Romay, Ed Buckler, Candy Gardner, and Carolyn Lawrence.
As described by Romay et al. the Ames Diversity Panel is a
set of approximately 2,500 maize accessions primarily made available via the NCRPIS in Ames, IA.
The panel was interrogated using over 680,000 SNP markers to establish identity by state (IBS) relationships.
This has proven useful for examining relationships between lines based upon similarity and divergence scores
(where identical lines are assigned a similarity score of 1 and a divergence is measured as 1-similarity).
How Similarity Scores were Calculated
Similarity scores were calculated as described by Romay, MC et al. 2013
Identity by state (IBS) was calculated for all possible pairwise
comparisons using PLINK v1.07
(Purcell et al., 2007).

|You are in: Special Report: 1999: 09/99: Britain betrayed
Monday, 20 December, 1999, 15:34 GMT
Spying scandal spreads
Although no prosecutions will take place, the UK media has been ablaze in 1999 with revelations about Cold War spies.
In the case of Melita Norwood, they even appeared to be coming in from the rose garden, giving the story more than a hint of Miss Marple rather than Smiley's People.
Spy who really did come in from the cold
The rash of cases stemmed from the work of a former KGB agent, Vasily Mitrokhin, who became disillusioned with the Soviet system in the 1970s and 1980s.
He copied thousands of KGB files and when the USSR collapsed in 1992, he decided to defect to the West. Rejected by the Americans, he ended up in the UK and told the intelligence services about the secrets hidden under his floorboards.
MI6 sent an agent, Richard Tomlinson, who brought back six trunkloads of files. It is this material which has resulted in the rash of alleged spying cases.
The revelations have not appeared as a result of the security services bringing prosecutions, however, but because the then Conservative government decided to make the archive public. Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind allowed Cambridge historian Christopher Andrew access to write a book with Mr Mitrokhin.
My granny, the spy
There has also been a BBC Two series, The Spying Game, on the same subject. To general astonishment, this revealed that an 87-year-old great-grandmother from London's southern suburbs, Melita Norwood, had been a Soviet spy for nearly 40 years.
Mrs Norwood admitted that her memory was not what it had been, but confessed to stealing nuclear secrets because she thought they would be useful in keeping the USSR up with the West.
It emerged that in her capacity as a secretary at the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association in London, she had photographed documents on the British atom bomb and passed them on to the KGB.
Failing though her memory might be, Mrs Norwood cannot fail to remember that no-one from the security services has interviewed her about her treachery.
This is one area which continues to rankle in many quarters. Mrs Norwood's activities were known about in 1992, but nothing was done - apparently because the security services did not want to disturb other investigations.
That inactivity has been criticised by politicians, placing pressure on Home Secretary Jack Straw to act - pressure he has ignored.
Further revelations
With the public still digesting the Norwood case, other spies started to be named.
John Symonds, a corrupt former Scotland Yard detective, was identified in the Mitrokhin archive as a "Romeo spy". His speciality was to seduce women working at Western embassies in an attempt to worm secrets out of them.
Among Mr Symonds' claims was that he had been specially trained in the art of love-making by two KGB agents - part of the training he said he enjoyed very much.
That case was followed by those of two former Labour MPs, both now dead.
Tom Driberg had long been rumoured to have been a spy and the Mitrokhin documents confirmed what was well known in Westminster circles.
His homosexuality and appetite for picking up men in public toilets had apparently made him an easy mark for KGB agents.
More of a surprise was Raymond Fletcher, who was thought to be a moderate.
University spying hotbeds
Most of those people recently exposed as alleged spies have been academics.
Vic Allen not only admitted his crime, but remains proud of his activities. "I have no shame... My only regret is that we didn't succeed," he told The Spying Game.
A former economics professor at Leeds University, Mr Allen was also a leading member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and ran for the leadership in 1985.
Exposed at the same time was Dick Clements, former editor of The Tribune left-wing newspaper and adviser to former Labour leader Neil Kinnock.
He admitted meeting Soviet agents, but denied being controlled by them. Mr Kinnock called the accusations "inventiveness".
Back in the world of academia, Robin Pearson, an economics and social history lecturer at Hull University, was shown by The Spying Game to have been an agent for the East German secret police, the Stasi.
Another lecturer, Gwyneth Edwards of Loughborough University, was reported by the Independent on Sunday to have been recruited by the same organisation, but she has denied this.

Dell's UltraSharp 2407LCD-HC is basically the same 24-inch widescreen monitor that we reviewed from Dell a year ago, only with an improved range of displayable color. We called that old Dell display the best in its class. This new one earns similar admiration, although we found its image quality was less impressive with static images than with video and games. Perhaps a serious photo editor wouldn't consider a consumer-level LCD anyway. The rest of us can take heart, though, that this $670 LCD not only works well as a multimedia display, it's also full of useful features.
The basic frame and stand of the UltraSharp remains the same as it has for roughly the past two years. It's a clean-enough design that doesn't quite have the aesthetic polish of an Apple display, but it's suitable for display in any environment. The screen is easy to attach and remove, and the stand gives you just as much adjustability as NEC's recent 24-incher (and much more than any Apple monitor), including tilt, pivot, up-and-down, and 90 degrees of rotation to move into portrait mode.
NEC's display earned a few design points for its easy-to-navigate onscreen menu, which was made possible by a small joystick next to the power button. Dell's new UltraSharp receives no such kudos. All of the options you'd expect to find are present, including three presets for multimedia, games, and desktop, but making a selection and navigating in general is unintuitive. Dell also offers no software for integrating the monitor controls with your Windows display settings, a feature of the NEC that we appreciated.
Manufacturer's specs
Resolution: 1,920 x 1,200
Dot pitch: 0.27mm
Pixel-response rate: 6ms
HDCP-compliant: Yes
Viewing angle: 178 degrees horizontal, 178 degrees vertical
Connectivity: DVI, VGA, S-Video, composite video, component video
Included cables: VGA, DVI
Here's where the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP-HC shines. As we've listed in the specs above, Dell includes almost every kind of PC and mainstream video input you can imagine on this display, the one exception being HDMI. It's not out of the question that you might want to connect an HDMI-only device to this monitor, but you can always use a DVI-to-HDMI adapter if that's a requirement.
The display lacks speakers out of the box, although Dell offers a Dell SoundBar for an extra $35. This set of encapsulated speakers snaps onto the bottom edge of the screen and provides 10 watts of stereo audio output. But even if it doesn't come with audio output, thanks to its large screen, its high resolution and its HDCP-compliance, you might reasonably consider using Dell's display for watching movies in a den or bedroom. You'll just need a separate set of speakers from your video source.
Dell also makes great use of the monitor's downstream USB capability. In addition to four USB 2.0 ports, Dell also includes a 9-in-2 set of media card slots. Building slots for your digital camera data cards into the screen lets you keep your desktop stowed farther out of sight. Those slots also fill a features gap if you own a desktop that lacks a media card reader (aka Mac owners).
Finally, the UltraSharp 2407WFP-HC includes both picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture capability. With all that screen real estate, it's easy to imagine those features coming in handy. The screen will not automatically switch the aspect ratio when you rotate into portrait mode, however, so you'll still need to make that change manually in your video driver software.

Every now and then, we all need a boost to get us moving toward better health. If the official start of summer wasn't enough, maybe the arguments mustered by University of Toronto statistics professor Michael Evans, in this now-classic whiteboard animation, will motivate you.
Imagine a prescription that could reduce arthritis pain, slow the progression of dementia and Alzheimer's, lessen the effects of diabetes — and so much more.
(MORE: Get Your Spouse Off the Couch)
It turns out, such a miracle "drug" exists. Evans has pulled together research from a range of sources about how to get the greatest health bang for your buck, or effort. His surprising review of all the research propelled him to the conclusion he (literally) draws in this video (below), about 23 ½ hours in the day:
What Is the Single Best Thing We Can Do for Our Health?
Next Avenue brings you stories that are inspiring and change lives. We know that because we hear it from our readers every single day. One reader says,
"Every time I read a post, I feel like I'm able to take a single, clear lesson away from it, which is why I think it's so great."
Your generous donation will help us continue to bring you the information you care about. Every dollar donated allows us to remain a free and accessible public service. What story will you help make possible?

The Beast
The Beast is one of those cop shows in which the old-pro rebel — in this case, Patrick Swayze as swaggering undercover FBI agent Charles Barker — snaps out lines like "Screw bureau protocol!" while surrounding characters give begrudging approval with lines like "He gets the job done." This stuff was old when Clint Eastwood was Dirty Harry. Wasted in a generic badass role, Swayze looks none the worse for his tussle with pancreatic cancer: He's lean, ?mean, and totally up for a better script.
Struggling to keep up with Swayze is Travis Fimmel as Barker's rookie partner Ellis Dove. Giving inexpressive line readings, he's here because he's young and pretty (Fimmel was a model), and he fits A&E's desired viewing demo. Ellis is the newbie who earns Barker's respect because, as someone says to Ellis in another tired line, "[Barker] ?looks at you and sees himself 20 years ago."
The "beast" of the title isn't antihero Barker; it's the tedious, dirty job these two have to do while under deep cover, worming their way into the confidence of hoodlums. "The beast eats away at you," Barker explains to Ellis in the opening episode. But for ?us, it's the hour spent trudging through The Beast that eats away at us: We could be spending our time reading better hardboiled yarns from fresh tough-guy novelists like Charlie Huston or Duane Swierczynski. ?In fact, I'd rather watch an hour of ?Swayze reading one of their tales aloud than ?sit through an episode of The Beast.

Rooftops: If buildings with impervious roofs are already in place, the catchment area is effectively available free of charge and they provide a supply at the point of consumption.
Paved and unpaved areas i.e., landscapes, open fields, parks, stormwater drains, roads and pavements and other open areas can be effectively used to harvest the runoff. The main advantage in using ground as collecting surface is that water can be collected from a larger area. This is particularly advantageous in areas of low rainfall.
Waterbodies: The potential of lakes, tanks and ponds to store rainwater is immense. The harvested rainwater can not only be used to meet water requirements of the city, it also recharges groundwater aquifers.
Stormwater drains: Most of the residential colonies have proper network of stormwater drains. If maintained neatly, these offer a simple and cost effective means for harvesting rainwater.
Whether to store rainwater or use it for recharge:
The decision whether to store or recharge water depends on the rainfall pattern and the potential to do so, in a particular region. The sub-surface geology also plays an important role in making this decision.
For example, Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat where the total annual rainfall occurs during 3 or 4 months, are examples of places where groundwater recharge is usually practiced. In places like Kerala, Mizoram, Tamil Nadu and Bangalore where rain falls throughout the year barring a few dry periods, one can depend on a small sized tank for storing rainwater, since the period between two spells of rain is short. Wherever sub-strata is impermeable recharging will not be feasible. Hence, it would be ideal to opt for storage.
Source: A Water Harvesting Manual For Urban Areas
In places where the groundwater is saline or not of potable standards, the alternate system could be that of storing rainwater.
Beyond generalisations, it is the requirement that governs the choice of water harvesting technique. For example, in Ahemadabad, which has limited number of rainy days as that of Delhi, traditional rainwater harvesting tanks, known as tankas, are used to store rainwater even today in residential areas, temples and hotels.

Day 10 and Day 11: Chicago
Day 10 began, for most of the boys, at home with local families who had so generously offered to help host the choir. The small band who had found their way to a distant Marriott hotel met the rest of the group at Emmannuel Church, before travelling downtown to visit the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. The choristers proved themselves surprisingly well-informed on the subject of supertall buildings, but knowing this was the 16th-tallest building on earth didn't prepare them for quite how impressive it was. After a brisk, ear-popping elevator ride we emerged on the Skydeck at the top of the tower, where the boys took turns stepping into terrifying glass boxes that hung from the side of the building.
After ransacking the gift shop we made our way to Portillo's, a temple to kitsch Americana complete with neon signs, checkered table cloths, and (legend has it) the best hot-dogs in the Mid-West. The obliging staff whipped up a fresh batch of frozen custard for us, which revived the boys in readiness for the afternoon's rehearsal back at Emmanuel. This beautiful building has just earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places, and – with its soaring roof and striking stained glass – could easily pass for a cathedral. The packed audience couldn't have given us a warmer welcome, and the choir was delighted to complete a clean sweep of standing ovations in the US (or should that be 'ovations standing'?).
After dispersing to homestays the choristers reconvened on Day 11 at the Marriott Hotel in Burr Ridge. The unbelievably generous (and rather brave) staff had offered us the use of the hotel pool, which given the chilly rain outside was the perfect solution for our final morning. As I write, the boys are taking a brief rest in front of the TV and anticipating the arrival of the largest amount of takeout Chinese food ever ordered by man. We're very grateful to George Tarasuk at Emmanuel for hosting us in Chicago, and to the brilliant staff at the Marriott for looking after us so kindly whilst wait for our flight home. A little light singing in the lobby (above) was the least we could do to say thank you.

Sheriff deputy injured in traffic stop in Louisiana
PARADIS, La. (AP) — Authorities in Louisiana say a deputy who was dragged a short distance after attempting to stop a suspect from driving off has been treated and released from a hospital.
NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports the St. Charles Parish sheriff's deputy was injured during a traffic stop Tuesday night on U.S. 90 in Paradis.
Authorities determined during the stop that the driver, Lamar Lathan, was wanted in Chicago on drug charges. The deputy asked Lathan to exit the vehicle and then attempted to reach inside. Authorities say Lathan then drove off, dragging the deputy.
Lathan's vehicle and his girlfriend, Tiffany Suggs, were later found but he had fled.
Lathan was located and charged with aggravated battery and other offenses. Suggs was charged with possession of ecstasy. It's unclear if they have lawyers.

Purpose :
Retinal ganglion cells (GCs) often are classified as ON, OFF, or ON/OFF based on their responses to simple stimuli, like full-field, square wave flashes. Such analysis, however, fails to capture the computations performed within the receptive fields (RFs) of the GCs because the stimuli are spatially and temporally uniform. This problem often is addressed by the use of white noise stimuli, which permit the RFs of GCs to be mapped and the responses of the GCs to be described with linear-nonlinear (LN) models. LN analysis fails to describe the most numerous GCs in the rodent retina- ON/OFF cells, because it treats the circuitry presynaptic to the GC as a single input. Here, we use a spatially correlated noise stimulus combined with analysis by a novel, nonlinear input model (NIM) to: 1) demonstrate a methodology for characterizing ON/OFF GCs and 2) extract multiple parallel inputs to GCs. This approach is compared to LN analyses and demonstrated to offer several advantages.
Methods :
Light responses of GCs in the ventral mouse retina were recorded using a 60-channel multi-electrode array mounted on an inverted microscope. UV light stimuli from a modified DLP projector were delivered through the objective. Stimuli included full-field square-waves, standard Gaussian white noise checkerboards, and spatially correlated ("cloud") noise generated by low-pass filtering the Gaussian checkerboards. RFs of GCs were characterized by a separable NIM, which describes the responses of GCs as reflecting the integrated outputs of excitatory and suppressive input subunits; the performance of the NIM was compared to that of a standard LN model. All parameters were determined using maximum a posterior optimization.
Results :
LN analysis yielded descriptions of ON and OFF RFs (not those of ON/OFF RFs). NIM analysis, however, revealed a significant number of ON/OFF GCs. And, we observed a number of instances in which GCs that appeared to be either ON or OFF cells from their responses to square waves were found to be true ON/OFF cells by NIM. The ON/OFF nature of GCs revealed by NIM analysis was verified experimentally by observations of responses to repeated stimuli.
Conclusions :
NIM analysis of responses to a cloud stimulus captures the real identity of GCs, describing their spike output as arising from the integration of excitatory and suppressive inputs. Thus, it provides a novel and useful framework for the study of retinal circuits.

Shellfish is a culinary and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Although most kinds of shellfish are harvested from saltwater environments, some kinds are found in freshwater. In addition a few species of land crabs are eaten, for example Cardisoma guanhumi in the Caribbean.
Despite the name, shellfish are not a kind of fish, but are simply water-dwelling animals. Many varieties of shellfish (crustaceans in particular) are actually closely related to insects and arachnids, making up one of the main classes of the phylum Arthropoda. Cephalopods (squid, octopus, cuttlefish) and bivalves (clams, oysters) are molluscs, as are snails and slugs.
Familiar marine molluscs enjoyed as a food source by humans include many species of clams, mussels, oysters, winkles, and scallops. Some crustaceans commonly eaten are shrimp, lobster, crayfish, and crabs.[1] Echinoderms are not as frequently harvested for food as molluscs and crustaceans, however sea urchin roe is quite popular in many parts of the world.[2][3]
Most shellfish eat a diet composed primarily of phytoplankton and zooplankton.[4]
Shellfish are among the most common food allergens.[5]
Although the term is primarily applied to marine species, edible freshwater invertebrates such as crayfish and river mussels are also sometimes grouped under the umbrella of "shellfish".
Although their shells may differ, all shellfish are invertebrates. As non-mammalian animals that spend their entire lives in water they are "fish" in an informal sense; however the term finfish is sometimes used to distinguish fish as animals defined by having vertebrae from shellfish in modern terminology.
The word "shellfish" is both singular and plural; the rarely used "shellfishes" is sometimes employed to distinguish among various types of shellfish.[7]
Archaeological finds has shown that humans have been making use of shellfish as a food item for hundreds of thousands of years. In the present, shellfish dishes are a feature of almost all the cuisines of the world, providing an important source of protein in many cuisines around the world, especially in the countries with coastal areas.
In the Japanese cuisine, chefs often use shellfish and their roe in different dishes. Sushi (vinegared rice, topped with other ingredients, including shellfish, fish, meat and vegetables) features both raw and cooked shellfish. Sashimi primarily consists of very fresh raw seafood, sliced into thin pieces. Both sushi and sashimi are served with soy sauce and wasabi paste (a Japanese horseradish root, a spice with extremely strong hot flavor), thinly-sliced pickled ginger root, and a simple garnish such as shiso (a kitchen herb, member of the mint family) or finely shredded daikon radish, or both.
Lobster in particular is a great delicacy in the United States, where families in the Northeast region make them into the centerpiece of a clam bake, usually for special occasions. Lobsters are eaten on much of the East Coast; the American lobster ranges from Newfoundland down to about the Carolinas, but is most often associated with Maine. A typical meal involves boiling the lobster with some slight seasoning and then serving it with drawn butter, baked potato, and corn on the cob.
Clamming is done both commercially and recreationally along the Northeast coastline of the US. Various type of clams are incorporated into the cuisine of New England. The soft-shelled clam is eaten either fried or steamed (and then called "steamers"). Many types of clams can be used for clam chowder, but the quahog, a hard shelled clam also known as a chowder clam, is often used because the long cooking time softens its tougher meat.
The Chesapeake Bay and Maryland region has generally been associated more with crabs, but in recent years the area has been trying to reduce its catch of blue crabs, as wild populations have been depleted. This has not, however, stemmed the demand: Maryland-style crabcakes are still a well known treat in crabhouses all over the bay, though the catch now comes from points farther south.
In the Southeast, and particularly the gulf states, shrimping is an important industry. Copious amounts of shrimp are harvested each year in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean to satisfy a national demand for shrimp. Locally, prawns and shrimp are often deep fried; in the Cajun and Creole kitchens of Louisiana, shrimp and prawns are a common addition to traditional recipes like jambalaya and certain stews. Crawfish[8] are a well known and much eaten delicacy here, often boiled in huge pots and heavily spiced.
In many major cities with active fishing ports, raw oyster bars are also a feature of shellfish consumption. When served freshly shucked (opened) and iced, one may find a liquid inside the shell, called the liqueur. Some believe that oysters have the properties of an aphrodisiac.
Inter-tidal herbivorous shellfish such as mussels and clams can help people reach a healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats in their diets, instead of the current Western diets.[9] For this reason, the eating of shellfish is often encouraged by dietitians. Shellfish, however, are a rich source of the amino acid taurine.
Shellfish is a common part of indigenous cuisines throughout the globe.
Some popular dishes using shellfish:
The Bible forbids the consumption of shellfish, particularly the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.[10]
Some shellfish, such as
Roe, Gari (ginger), California roll, Tuna, Edo
Cretaceous, Maine, Crayfish, Animal, Canada
Tuna, Salmon, Science, Carp, Mackerel
Spain, France, United States, Garlic, United Kingdom
California Gold Rush, San Francisco Bay, Salmon, Valparaiso, Sailing ship

Mandee TCPA Settlement
- Claims can be filed in-store, online, or by mail
- Many important dates apply to the settlement
- Administrator contact information is available
Alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) have been at the heart of many class action lawsuits. One of the latest to include such allegations is a lawsuit called Zeidel v. A&M LLC. The suit alleges that the Defendant (A&M, parent company of Mandee Stores) violated the TCPA by sending out text messages to individuals who had not previously consented to receive them. To be fair, it should be pointed out that the Defendant denies the allegations brought forth in the suit and denies that it violated the TCPA. At this point it appears that the arguments from either side will never be heard at trial as the case has come to a pending settlement which provides class members with the option of receiving a $15 Mandee voucher or $10 in cash (classic conundrum of taking the higher value voucher or the more flexible cash – TOUGH CALL). Those who opt to go for the cash settlement can get started with the online filing process by going to the Mandee TCPA Settlement page and clicking the Proof of Claim Form link.
Thanks for the info! I have a feeling we're just getting started though….
- Text messages must have been received between October 16th, 2013 and December 31st, 2014
- The deadline by which all claims for cash must be filed (online or by mail) is March 29th, 2020
- Those who plan on opting out must file an exclusion request by the date of February, 2nd 2020
- The hearing to decide whether the settlement will be approved is schedule for March 1st, 2020
- In addition to providing the cash or vouchers the Defendant will change text message practices
Class Members who would rather have the $15 voucher can begin by going to a Mandee location and providing a name, address, and telephone number to the cashier on duty (records will confirm whether or not the person making the claim is a Class Member and entitled to the $15 voucher). All claims for the voucher must be made by May 30th, 2020 (probably a good idea to leave plenty of time and do so long before this date). Those who plan on filing a claim form by mail (for cash payment only) must make sure correspondence is post-marked prior to the March 29th, 2020 deadline and sent directly to the Settlement Administrator. The Settlement Administrator can also be contacted for questions about the settlement.

American Horror Story Recap Episode "Continuum"
American Horror Story: The Most Insane Moments of "Continuum"
School is almost out for American Horror Story: Asylum. With next week's season finale looming, the writers had some work to do, which makes me all the more impressed to report that "Continuum" is one of my favorite episodes since the season began. The story jumps around a bit, following — spoiler alert — the death of Bloody Face and the reemergence of the presumed-dead Alma and her baby. Briarcliff is in the rear view for Kit and Grace, and now that we're out of the mental ward, we're reminded that it's the swingin' '60s! Though in this case, it's less Austin Powers and more Sister Wives.
That's right. Seems Kit, Alma, and Grace find an "amicable" way to settle their situation, at least for a while. More on that in a bit. Flash forward and we encounter Lana at a book signing for her bestselling memoir. Lana's fulfilled her promise to expose Bloody Face, but she isn't quite the beacon of truth and morality that she promised Sister Jude she would be. Lace up your straightjackets and let's go through this week's most insane moments when you read more.
- Alma, Grace, and Kit are one big, happy family. Am I the only one who's a little mad we're robbed of seeing the direct aftermath of Alma's appearance with the baby? Kit's story really goes in a direction I didn't expect. They skip ahead a couple of years to show the three lovers living together in harmony. They listen to The Grass Roots, they talk about participating in protests (it's the '60s, remember?), and they draw detailed pictures of the aliens who abducted them. Wait, I guess that's just Grace. Her fixation doesn't turn out too well, either . . .
- Alma axes Grace to death. Jealousy can be a bitch, but I suppose getting probed by aliens, then having an alleged murderer in your house around your kids (and sleeping with your husband) could drive one a little crazy, too. I have to admit, when I saw Kit in the beginning of the episode covered in blood, I assumed he was the killer; it never occurred to me Alma would snap like that. Now that she's been committed to Briarcliff, the family really has come full circle.
- Sister Jude hallucinates the Angel of Death. Sister Jude (aka Betty Drake) has been on the wrong side of Briarcliff a little too long. She seems to be having a good week; Pepper is her good friend, they have Candyland, and Monsignor gives her a solemn promise to release her from the asylum. Then things take a turn. The Angel of Death returns to Briarcliff, but as a rough-and-tumble transfer from a county facility. She toys with Jude for a while until it is revealed that Jude's been hallucinating the whole time, and over two years have passed since Monday. Pepper is dead, the Monsignor is now the Cardinal, and Briarcliff has been turned over to the state. Is Jude beyond repair?
- Lana sells out. No doubt, Lana's been through a horrific trauma. So why doesn't she just tell the truth in her memoir? Instead, she expresses "the essence of truth" (her words) and manages to elaborate on the story of her imprisonment while omitting the romantic details of her relationship with her "roommate" — not to mention the fact that her child survived. I'm less upset about her lack of journalistic integrity and more insulted by the harsh tone in which she reprimands her assistant for bringing her a warm Tab. I mean, get over it. Let's hope her conscience is intact enough to help Sister Jude get out of Briarcliff, now that she knows she's alive.
- Johnny Morgan has deadly plans for his mother. Guess who's not happy about Lana telling the world her child died at birth? The son of Bloody Face is taking his heritage quite seriously. This week, he does some drugs in a parking lot (was that a crack pipe?) and threatens a bookstore owner into giving him a signed copy of his dear mother's memoir. What's he gonna do with it? Shove it in Lana's face, proclaim his identity, and shoot her in the face. If you ask me, that's a pretty light punishment given some of the gruesome stuff we've seen go on this season.
How was "Continuum" for you? What do you hope to see in next week's finale? Will there be any tie-ins from the first season?

South Indian cuisine has a reputation for being some of spiciest, most flavorful food around. A lot of times, however, people mistakenly believe it is strictly vegetarian. Not so for Chettinad cuisine, which is the food of the Chettiars, a group of Tamils in southern India who do eat certain meats (i.e. mutton, chicken) and seafood. I first tried Chettinad food at an Indian chain called Anjappar, which had a restaurant in Colombo, Sri Lanka (they also have a location in Manhattan). I found it to have some of the most complex flavors of any cuisine I have ever enjoyed. Even with my extensive knowledge of spices, I was a bit intimidated to try cooking this cuisine myself. But the best way to approach things like this is to dive right in, so I did, and the following is the result.
The Recipe
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. crushed garlic
2 Tsp. sliced fresh ginger
1 cup sliced onions or shallots
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. cayenne pepper powder
½ tsp. turmeric
14 oz. can diced tomatoes
2 tsp. tamarind juice
1 pound shrimp, shelled & deveined with tails intact
salt to taste
2-3 fresh green chilies, sliced
1 spring fresh curry leaves (for garnish)
spice blend: 6 dried whole red chilies
½ tsp. fennel seeds
½ tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. fenugreek seeds
½ tsp. black mustard seeds
- Heat 1 Tbsp. of oil in a pan. Combine spice blend ingredients, and sauté until mustard seeds start to pop.
- Add garlic and ginger to pan and sauté another minute. Add onions or shallots and sauté another 2 minutes.
- Add remaining oil as well as coriander, cayenne, and turmeric, and stir to combine.
- Stir in tomatoes, tamarind juice, and ¼ cup water, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add shrimp and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and shrimp are cooked. Add salt and fresh chilies, and stir for another minute.
- For garnish, heat a little oil in another pan and fry curry leaves until crispy. Sprinkle over shrimp before serving.
Makes 3-4 servings.

I remember when I was first started to get an inkling that it was way more than my imagination at work when it came to the spirit world. I could recall trying to figure out if I'd just seen or heard a ghost or why exactly I would get stressed out around crowds or could clearly get the inside scoop on what someone really wanted to say versus what they actually said.
Being psychic is not easy though for the most part it is a beautiful gift to have. What's even better is to be able to confirm your psychic gifts and then choose how you will utilize them to benefit yourself and your fellow human.
After taking countless psychic quizzes online, I realized that my psychic powers were real and underwent training (and still do) to bring out the best of my abilities.
My top psychic gifts include:
- Mediumship: Speaking with spirit
- Empathy: Ultra sensitive which allows me to pick up energy from the earth, humans, objects, animals, angels and more
- Clairvoyance: Allows me to "see" the unseen
- Claircognizance: I know things without being told
- Clairaudience: I've the ability to hear messages from spirit and sometimes unspoken thoughts of others
- Energy Healing: Through the power of body scanning, I can help to pinpoint a variety of illnesses of both the energetic and medical kind within the body.
Being fully aware of my range of psychic abilities has allowed me to live a fuller life and feel a lot closer to the angelic realm and God.
It is high time that Light Workers like myself (and most likely you too) step into our roles and do the "jobs" that we agreed to do.
Psychic Tip: As you get ready to take this psychic test ask the divine, the angels and your higher-self to help guide you through this quiz and be able to fully dig deep into your soul in order to really shine light on your most important gifts.
This simple but super accurate psychic test from Proprofs is on point and will surely help enlighten you as to where you stand today.

College Student Medical Scrub Progams – Made Easy
Every year classes of Nursing Students, CNAs in training and Medical Residents need custom embroidered scrubs for their classes, externships and residencies. But for some reason the process often remains confusing, cumbersome and a burden to the administrators or students put in charge of the ordering for that year. It doesn't help that someone new often has to take it on each year without a lot of guidance or a proven process.
Fortunately we have created the most simple and seamless process for Student scrub orders possible, and can set it up to be used year after year with no problems or hassles. It starts with a custom web portal which allows the students to place their orders directly, without the need for someone to try and collect all of the orders from everyone which is not always that easy. Then we process and ship the orders directly to each student, removing the need for someone to hold onto hundreds of scrubs and try and pass them out in classes or in their free time.
Every order is limited to the styles and colors you choose (every major brand is available), and will include your school or department logo embroidered on it prior to shipping. We also have options where students can receive a certain number of sets free, pay for them all themselves, or have the ability to pay just for extra sets beyond what the school will provide. This entire service is included at no extra cost, and we are still able to make the uniforms themselves very affordable.
For a school or class to qualify it must have a minimum of 50 students receiving 2 sets each, or 100+ students getting one free set.

text: SAVE For shows to be watched specially by children with relatively short attention span, they must have this certain kind of formula to be engaging but at the same time educational; to be entertaining but at the same time uniquely interesting. Dora the Explorer is perhaps one of the most well-known pre-school shows today. Designed for pre-schoolers that aim to encourage its kiddie audience to sing and dance, Dora the Explorer is an overall play-along quest to help Dora finish a challenge. The show also features bilingual language allowing its young viewers to learn basic Spanish phrases and other cultures. However, the magic formula of the show lies in its one-of-a-kind episode format: 1. An episode always begins with a goal that is stated at the outset. This is when Dora, Boots, Backpack, Map and the audience go on an adventure! The goal is either a problem, puzzle or game that is relatable for children. 2. After the ultimate goal is stated, Map shows the way to go. The kids at home are shown the obstacles they will need to overcome to get to the final location! 3. Dora needs the viewers' help to overcome obstacles by solving puzzles, singing songs or otherwise interacting directly with the show to overcome challenges. Don't be surprised if your child starts jumping and dancing along with Dora and her animal friends. 4. Arriving at the final destination, Dora and Boots celebrate completing their mission. They thank their friends – the home viewers – for helping, and sing the celebratory "We Did It! Lo Hicimos!" song. Dora the Explorer may have its own working formula that will send your children to some wide-eyed wonder adventure. However at the end of the day, the only formula that worked then and will work n0w, is that if it makes your children better—be it physically, emotionally, socially, morally, or intellectually. From TV and now onto the stage, you may catch Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer LIVE! Search for the City of Lost Toys as they come to Manila this October 9 and 11, 2015 at the Meralco Theater. Featuring an 8-year old Dora who leads the audience through a grand adventure to find her lost teddy bear Osito, the show would also carry well-known songs from the Dora the Explorer TV show as well as brand new songs created just for the stage show performed by full-costumed characters! For tickets and information, you may call 470-2222 or book your ticket online at http://smtickets.com. Come on, Vamonos!

Infinite systems of stochastic differential equations and some lattice models on compact Riemannian manifolds
Daletskii A. Yu., Kondratiev Yu. G.
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 326–337
Stochastic dynamics associated with Gibbs measures on an infinite product of compact Riemannian manifolds is constructed. The probabilistic representations for the corresponding Feller semigroups are obtained. The uniqueness of the dynamics is proved.
A priori estimates for solutions of the first initial boundary-value problem for systems of fully nonlinear partial differential equations
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 338–363
We prove a priori estimates for a solution of the first initial boundary-value problem for a system of fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) in a bounded domain. In the proof, we reduce the initial boundary-value problem to a problem on a manifold without boundary and then reduce the resulting system on the manifold to a scalar equation on the total space of the corresponding bundle over the manifold.
Infinite-dimensional analysis related to generalized translation operators
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 364–409
We give an extensive generalization of the white-noise analysis (in the Gaussian and non-Gaussian case) in which the role of translation operators is played by a fixed family of generalized translation operators.
Admissible vector fields and related diffusions on infinite-dimensional manifolds
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 410–423
A variation on the notion of "admissibility" for vector fields on certain infinite-dimensional manifolds with measures on them is described. It leads to the construction of associated diffusions and Markov semigroups on these manifolds via Dirichlet forms. Some classes of concrete examples are given.
One class of solutions of Volterra equations with regular singularity
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 424–432
The Volterra integral equation of the second order with a regular singularity is considered. Under the conditions that a kernel K(x,t) is a real matrix function of order n×n with continuous partial derivatives up to order N+1 inclusively and K(0,0) has complex eigenvalues ν±i μ (ν>0), it is shown that if ν>2|‖K|‖ C -N-1, then a given equation has two linearly independent solutions.
Boundary-value problems for stationary Hamilton-Jacobi and Bellman equations
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 433–447
We introduce solutions of boundary-value problems for the stationary Hamilton-Jacobi and Bellman equations in functional spaces (semimodules) with a special algebraic structure adapted to these problems. In these spaces, we obtain representations of solutions in terms of "basic" ones and prove a theorem on approximation of these solutions in the case where nonsmooth Hamiltonians are approximated by smooth Hamiltonians. This approach is an alternative to the maximum principle.
Regularity results for Kolmogorov equations in $L^2 (H, μ)$ spaces and applications
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 448–457
We consider the transition semigroup $R_t =e^{tsA}$ associated to an Ornstein—Uhlenbeck process in a Hilbert space $H$. We characterize, under suitable assumptions, the domain of $A$ as a subspace $W^{2,2} (H, μ)$, where $μ$ is the invariant measure associated to $R_t$. This characterization is then used to treat some Kolmogorov equations with variable coefficients.
Measure-valued diffusion
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 458–464
We consider the class of continuous measure-valued processes {μ t } on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space X for which ∫fd μ t is a semimartingale with absolutely continuous characteristics with respect to t for all f:X→R smooth enough. It is shown that, under some general condition, the Markov process with this property can be obtained as a weak limit for systems of randomly interacting particles that are moving in X along the trajectories of a diffusion process in X as the number of particles increases to infinity.
On Hausdorff-Young inequalities for quantum fourier transformations
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 3. - pp. 465–471
The classical Hausdorff-Young inequality for the Fourier transformation is generalized to various quantum contexts involving noncommutative L p -spaces based on translation-invariant traces.

FOB DELARAM, AFGHANISTAN – In the middle of southern Afghanistan, a group of Marine officers have just completed an arduous six-hour meeting.
When battalion commander Lt. Col. Maxwell "Zip" Zapolski asks if anyone's got any saved rounds, S-6 communications officer 2nd Lt. William Ross stands up.
"Sir," he begins nervously, "I've completely messed up the communications gear EDL, and we're going to have to do a battalion-wide inventory."
Lt. Col. Zapolski knowingly smiles and calmly pushes a button, opening up a trap door beneath 2nd Lt. Ross and sending him plunging into a tank of water, filled with 300-pound, man-eating sharks.
"This is the price of failure, Lieutenant Ross," said Zapolski, as the screams reverberate through the conference room.
He then turns to his staff and asks if anyone else has any saved rounds. The answer is a resounding 'No!'
Not many units can boast their own shark tank, but the Lava Dogs of 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines took a can-do attitude and made the impossible a reality.
According to Lt. Col. Zapolski, the shark tank was one of the best investments his battalion made.
"We really had to dig into our CERP funds for it, and while my CAG and Supply Officer initially questioned the wisdom of building a shark tank under the battalion conference room, their replacements agree it's definitely worth its weight in gold."
While he initially conceived of the tank as a way to remove the local chief of police, Zapolski quickly found the shark tank had a much greater impact on unit discipline.
"Back in garrison, if one of my lieutenants screwed up I would have to take him aside and actually mentor him, or explain how his MOS fits into my scheme of maneuver, but now I can just drop him into the tank and send for a replacement."
Still, there have been setbacks.
"Once the shark must have been full or something, because he just kept swimming around the guy," said Zapulski. "So I had to have my Sergeant Major take a PRC-116 Radio down there and bludgeon the Lieutenant to death. After that we just added more sharks."
As part of the upcoming transition to Afghan-led forces, the Marines have been allowing Afghan National Army commander Colonel Haj Mohammed use of the shark tank.
"We definitely have a long way to go," said Zapulski. "Right now Colonel Mohammed can't get past the novelty of watching the sharks eat his men. I think he's dropped at least twenty of them in there over the last month."
"Just last week he dropped his chai boy in there, tea tray and all."

Download This Lesson: There's a Wiser Way
Focus Areas: Integrated Pest Management (IPM); Science, Language Arts, Graphic Arts
Focus Skills: summarizing, understanding the main idea
- To illustrate an understanding of IPM
- To recognize the need for reduction of chemical applications in pest management
Essential Question
How can Integrated Pest Management reduce the use of chemicals in managing pests?
Essential Understandings
- IPM seeks to understand the lifestyle of a pest and determine the pest population before taking action.
- IPM applies the most environmentally sound methods to pest management.
IPM offers a scientific approach as well as an alternative to indiscriminate chemical use in the management of pests. Combining identification and an understanding of the pest with a variety of environmentally friendly methods of management, IPM seeks to reduce the use of potentially dangerous chemicals among municipalities, families, and the farming community.
In a series of steps, the pest is identified, the impact of the pest population is estimated, and the choice of action is determined. Sometimes, particularly for the homeowner, the best choice is NO action.
For example, spotting several Japanese beetles feeding on rose bushes would not justify taking action, particularly when the action could make the problem much worse. Homeowners frequently purchase "traps" that have attractants for Japanese beetles. They can attract hundreds of beetles that will mate and produce many more beetles to infest your gardens.
So, while chemicals are not universally condemned, they are not the first choice for control. Thoughtful choices must be made, depending on the situation, the potential impact of the pest, and the damage it is capable of causing. When chemical control is deemed necessary as an IPM method, careful attention is given to the toxicity of the chemical, the amount applied, and the safety precautions required.
biological control the use of natural enemies to control pest populations (ladybugs, bats)
chemical control the use of chemical powders, pellets, or sprays to control pests
cultural (common sense) keeping areas and ourselves 'pest-unfriendly' control (garbage collection)
IPM Integrated Pest Management, a method that seeks to manage pests in the most environmentally friendly way
mechanical control tools, machines, or equipment that aid in pest management (such as screens)

West Ham and Crystal Palace are both chasing Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Daily Star Sunday claim.
The Hammers have been tipped to move for Liverpool's England striker Daniel Sturridge and have now been linked with Mitrovic after Reds boss Jurgen Klopp insisted Sturridge would be staying at Anfield.
Newcastle would be tempted to accept an offer in the region of £14.5m, the Star say.
Meanwhile, The Sun on Sunday say Tottenham fear keeper Hugo Lloris will leave at the end of the season and that Sunderland's Jordan Pickford would be the club's first-choice replacement.
Lloris has yet to sign a new contract at White Hart Lane and there are suggestions he could move on if Spurs do not qualify for the Champions League.
Arsenal want to re-sign Cesc Fabregas, the Sunday Express claim.
The Gunners are supposedly planning to make Chelsea an offer for their former midfielder, who has been linked with a number of European clubs.
The Sunday Mirror say Chelsea are targeting teenage Italian striker Andrea Pinamonti, who is currently with Inter Milan.
Inter are reportedly looking to tie him to a new contract which would include a huge release clause but at the moment, it is claimed, Pinamonti, 17, would cost around £400,000.
Hoffenheim defender Niklas Sule has again been linked with Chelsea, this time by the Daily Star Sunday.
And The Sun on Sunday say Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has given an indication he could rejoin Real Madrid after describing their boss Zinedine Zidane as an "idol".

If you want to capture the world in a nutshell, you begin with the nut itself. But this video by Fabio Friedli quickly expands to encompass a lot of things! Objects, that is. Vimeo takes a closer look at the meaning of In A Nutshell.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
"It is such an excessive amount of things, shown in such a short time, you are never able to perceive everything," Friedli said. "I like to believe it's one's subconscious that chooses what you see, hear and feel, depending on what is occupying your head and heart at the moment. No one has the same first 'In A Nutshell' experience."

Trophy House is an extraordinary and complex novel, at one level a romantic thriller, at another a deeply satisfying story about the disintegration of a marriage and the consequences for all concerned -- that rare piece of fiction that is at once thrilling, grown-up and completely believable.
It begins with the construction of a totally inappropriate and enormous house -- a "trophy house" -- which unexpectedly comes to threaten the tranquillity of what appears to be one woman's perfect life and marriage. Dannie Faber has lots of reasons to feel blessed. A children's book illustrator, she shares a loving marriage with Tom, an M.I.T. professor, with whom she divides her time between one of Boston's finest suburbs and a beloved beach house in Truro, on Cape Cod. And then, for reasons she could not possibly have foreseen, Dannie's life begins to unravel.
With Trophy House, Anne Bernays -- author of Professor Romeo and Growing Up Rich -- delivers a poignant, funny, and ultimately wrenching story of adults in peril and the unlikely hope for romance that, in the end, becomes the key to surviving events that are beyond their control. It is a brilliant and moving portrait of a marriage.

Punjab Congress in-charge Kamal Nath resigned as he did not want the "genuine issues" plaguing the poll-bound state to get diverted amidst the politically-motivated allegations levelled by the opposition parties, AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh said on Thursday.
Nath, who was assigned the responsibility as the General Secretary in-charge of Punjab as well as Haryana only four days back, quit last night in a clear bid to control damage in the coming Assembly polls as rivals have been raking up his alleged role in the riots which followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
"Kamal Nath had no role at all during the 1984 (anti-Sikh) riots. The opposition parties have suddenly woken up to the allegations against him in the view of ensuing Assembly elections and started accusing him of something he had no role in," Digvijaya told reporters.
He said Nath stepped down as he did not want the "genuine issues", including drug menace etc, get diverted.
He also criticised AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Earlier in the day, Digvijaya addressed a protest rally of farmers against "non-fulfilment" of promises made by BJP in run up to 2014 polls.
