The other thing you can do to lower your deviation is to lower your mike gain, or just not talk so loud.

No. 84,983
1. We review the denial of a motion to withdraw a plea for abuse of discretion.
2. Our review of questions involving the interpretation of the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act is unlimited.
3. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) is construed.
4. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4720(b)(2) is construed; it only applies to multiple convictions arising out of a single charging document.
Appeal from Seward District Court; T. KEITH WILSON, judge. Opinion filed August 24, 2001. Convictions affirmed, sentence vacated in part, and case remanded with directions.
Brent Getty, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Jacob P. Fitzgerald, assistant county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., JOHNSON, J., and BRAZIL, S.J.
ELLIOTT, J.: Alan Torkelson appeals the denial of his motion to withdraw a plea and also appeals his sentence.
We affirm the convictions, but vacate part of his sentence, and remand for resentencing.
While charged in case No. 99 CR 224 with numerous felony and misdemeanor counts, defendant incurred new felony and misdemeanor charges in case No. 99 CR 344, not related to the charges in the earlier case.
Pursuant to a plea bargain, defendant pled guilty in 99 CR 344 to attempted aggravated sexual battery and pled no contest in 99 CR 224 to criminal threat. The State agreed to dismiss numerous other counts in the two cases; the parties agreed not to seek a departure sentence and that the two sentences would run consecutively.
Prior to sentencing, defendant moved to withdraw both pleas; the motion was denied. Based on a severity level 7 crime and a criminal history of C, the trial court sentenced defendant in 99 CR 344 to 27 months in prison, even though box 7-C of the sentencing guidelines is a presumptive probation box. The trial court did this because the crime was committed while defendant was on felony bond. See K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) and K.S.A. 21-4608.
In 99 CR 224, based on a severity level 9 crime and a criminal history of C, the trial court sentenced defendant to 12 months in prison even though the presumptive sentence was probation, because the sentence in 99 CR 344 was imprisonment. As had been agreed by the parties, the sentences were to run consecutively.
Defendant contends the trial court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his plea in 99 CR 344 (attempted aggravated sexual battery). We review for abuse of discretion. State v. Taylor, 266 Kan. 967, 974, 975 P.2d 1196 (1999).
Defendant argues his plea was not freely, fairly, and understandingly entered because a conspiracy between his wife and the victim led him to believe the victim was overcome by force or fear when, in fact, she was not. See K.S.A. 21-3518(a)(1) (defining aggravated sexual battery). Defendant argues had he known the victim was not overcome by force or fear, he would not have pled guilty.
After an evidentiary hearing, the trial court found no evidence the charged incident did not take place. The victim testified she was scared when the charged incident took place and denied she conspired with defendant's wife to set up Torkelson. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to withdraw the plea.
Defendant next argues the trial court erred in sentencing him to prison in 99 CR 224 when the presumptive sentence was for a nonprison term. This question involves interpreting the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA), K.S.A. 21-4701 et seq.; our review is unlimited. State v. Bolin, 266 Kan. 18, 24, 968 P.2d 1104 (1998).
A sentencing judge must impose the presumptive sentence listed in the KSGA unless substantial and compelling reasons for departure exist. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4716(a). Here, pursuant to a plea agreement, no departure was sought and none was granted.
The State argues there are two statutory provisions which allow a sentencing court to impose imprisonment in a presumptive probation case even absent a departure. We find neither of the statutes relied on by the State to be applicable to the present case.
K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) provides that when a new felony is committed while defendant is on felony bond in another case, the court may sentence defendant to prison in the new case, even when the new crime otherwise presumes a nonprison term. This provision does not apply here, however, because the sentence for the new crime in 99 CR 344 is not at issue. The sentence at issue in the present case is for the prior crime in 99 CR 224, to which K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) does not speak.
The State also argues that K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4720(b)(2) requires all sentences to be ordered served in prison if the sentence for any of the crimes is presumptive imprisonment. But that statute cannot apply here because it only applies to multiple convictions arising out of a single charging document. See Bolin, 266 Kan. at 19.
This leads us back to K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a), which states in part:
"Whenever any person has been found guilty of a crime, the court may adjudge any of the following:
(1) Commit the defendant to the custody of the secretary of corrections if the current crime of conviction is a felony and the sentence presumes imprisonment . . . .
. . . .
(3) release the defendant on probation if the current crime of conviction and criminal history fall within a presumptive nonprison category . . . .
. . . .
(10) impose any appropriate combination of (1) . . . (3) . . . ."
State v. Dubish, 236 Kan. 848, 696 P.2d 969 (1985), does not apply. The inconsistent sentences in Dubish arose from a single case, not multiple cases as here. Dubish is best characterized as holding a sentence of probation on one conviction and imprisonment on other convictions arising out of the same incident is not a disposition authorized by K.S.A. 21-4603 (Ensley 1981) (pre-KSGA case). See Dubish, 236 Kan. at 855.
State v. McDaniel, 20 Kan. App. 2d 883, 893 P.2d 290 (1995), is closer to the facts of the present case, where we held:
"The court could have imposed consecutive sentences for the two crimes but granted probation for both, so that McDaniel would be required to serve consecutive sentences if she violated probation. K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 21-4608(d) requires only that the sentences be consecutive; it does not forbid probation. Probation is granted after imposition of sentence. [Citations omitted.] Probation is not inherently inconsistent with consecutive sentences. 20 Kan. App. 2d at 885.
Further, K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) does not apply because it only requires an "appropriate" combination of available sentences within a single case; it does not require an "appropriate" combination of sentences in two different, unrelated cases.
Here, there simply is no statutory provision granting the trial court authority to impose a prison sentence in 99 CR 224. We recognize that what the trial court did seems logically correct, but we can find no statutory authority for doing what the trial court did.
The convictions are affirmed; the sentence in 99 CR 224 is vacated and remanded with directions to enter a sentence of probation.

GREENVILLE, Ill. -- The men's basketball team lost a close game Saturday afternoon as they were defeated 64-57 by Westminster. Senior forward Andy Traeger led the Panthers in scoring, netting a game-high 19 points and went 5-for-9 from beyond the three-point arc.
Adding to Traeger's game-high, junior Markeith Brown put in another double-digit scoring performance, adding 17 points and picking up four rebounds.
Leading the Panthers (10-8, 6-4 SLIAC) in rebounds was Obinna Agomo with eight and K.J. Hilliard who grabbed six. Both Agomo and Hilliard contributed three assists a piece in the losing effort.
Greenville trailed at haftime by one point and fought hard the entire game but to no avail as the Bluejays were just too much down the stretch.
The men's team returns to action Tuesday night, Feb. 8, as they will travel to take on Principia at 8 p.m.

Much of it I was unaware of so a special thank you from me :)
Over to David....
I have been reading with interest the post by Rodger V Chadwick (22-3-2013), and the post about Tommy Sowter (27-3-2013), with the references to the V1 explosion at Westwood Farm, and the German bomber coming down near St Mary's.
The V1 was a winged pilotless aircraft carrying a warhead,powered by a pulse jet engine. This weapon was normally launched from a ramp by catapult, but the 31 V1's that landed in the North of England , aimed at Manchester early on Christmas eve 1944 were air launched over the north sea to give extra range.
The article about Westwood Farm, and the map of V1 impacts, are taken from the book "Flying Bombs Over The Pennines" (1988) by Peter J.C. Smith.
The pictures of Westwood Farm before and after, appear both in this publication and also "Air Launched Doodlebugs, The Forgotten Campaign"(2006) by the same author.
Westwood Farm Before
Westwood Farm After.
I have also included a photo that I took a few years ago of the V1 crater on Midhope Moor. This weapon was part of the same attack, and fell short of the target area.
The crater, numbered 24 on the map, is 15 metres in diameter
The Westwood Farm V1 is numbered 6 on the map.
My grandparents lived on St Mary's Road, and I can remember them telling me about a German plane coming down in fields behind the church. The area was quite accessible and so the wreckage would have been easy to clear. This, and the fact that intelligence officers would go over every inch of an enemy aircraft, meant that the clear up would have been thorough. I think that the area has been built over now.
If the aircraft was attacked by a Hurricane, it would most likely have been from Cranage (Byley).
I hope that some of this is of interest to you.
Thanks so much , David.
Great post indeed !

The government's handling of the sequester is a perfect example of how inept it is ("Lawmakers ease airline delays," April 27).
A business would lay off employees who are not essential to its operations. The government lays off the air traffic controllers and keeps the back office people who supposedly are supporting them.
This is absurd, but it's how an inefficient, poorly managed organization operates. I wonder how many other layoffs are comparable. Operating in this manner will increase the deficit, not reduce it.
Meanwhile, the government is doubling the interest on student loans. The U.S. is one of the few developed nations that puts college education out of the reach of many deserving students. In fact, most developed nations offer free or very low cost college education.
The move is typical of how our politicians are trying to turn us into a Third World country. Why does this country do everything it can to make itself less competitive in the world?

Our multidisciplinary team has experience working with patients who have had a traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumor and other kinds of brain injuries.
Rehabilitation begins as soon as possible after brain injury. Our physicians, therapists and case managers are ready to begin working with patients throughout University Hospital as soon as requested. Patients are seen in their rooms or brought to our rehabilitation gym on the 2nd floor. Treatment goals include patient and family education, identifying problems in everyday functioning that might affect the patient's ability to care for them, and preparing for discharge.
Comprehensive inpatient brain injury rehabilitation is offered at the Rehabilitation Center on the 2nd floor of University Hospital. This service is for children and adults who require inpatient rehabilitation after illness or injury, and who still have significant medical concerns requiring hospital-based treatment. Patients are evaluated for admission by our consultation service. If they qualify for services, they can be brought to the inpatient unit on the 2nd floor when a bed is available. Individualized treatment and discharge plans are developed for each patient.
Our comprehensive Outpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program offers individualized treatment to patients who are struggling with changes in their functioning due to brain injury. The multidisciplinary team includes occupational, physical, and speech therapists as well as physicians, psychologists, a vocational rehabilitation counselor and a case manager. Patients are seen by one or more of these specialists depending on their needs. We also help patients and families identify community-based support services they can use.A physician's referral is required for examination and treatment within this program.

Roseberry, Lynn (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The purpose of this paper is to present a strategy for applying discourse analysis to the debate concerning the legal status of Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR"). In the 1990s activists concerned with corporate involvement in activities that harm workers and the environment encouraged corporations to adopt voluntary initiatives, which have come to be known as CSR policies or corporate codes of conduct. Roughly ten years later NGOs like Christian Aid, which at first was a strong proponent of voluntary corporate codes of conduct, have begun calling for a greater emphasis on law and accountability mechanisms. Trade unions especially have expressed deep scepticism of the idea of CSR initiatives and the attendant industry that has grown up around them. The trade union movement criticises CSR initiatives for being a strategy to avoid regulation and trade unions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7119

BAKERSFIELD — Fernando Jara is something of a star in Kern County — and a mystery.
From humble beginnings, Jara founded a program to rehabilitate drug addicts and felons on a five-acre farm. He is completing a master's degree at Claremont School of Theology and will soon begin work on a doctorate and a law degree.
The energetic 37-year-old and his wife, a Kern County supervisor and rising political star, attended President Obama's inauguration in January at the invitation of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

It's an impressive resume for a junior high school dropout — with one exception. Five years are unaccounted for, and few people here know why.

In his first response to a searing charge at the Democratic National Convention from Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq, that he "sacrificed nothing" for his country,
Cheap Sale From China Discount High Quality Printed Racerback Top One Rose Touch by VIDA VIDA LgR9Gv
claimed that he sacrificed by employing "thousands and thousands of people." Also, he suggested that Khan's wife, Ghazala Khan, didn't speak at the convention because she was forbidden to as a Muslim and questioned whether Khan's words were his own.
"Who wrote that? Did Hillary's scriptwriters write it?" Trump said in an interview with ABC News'
SHIRTS Shirts Philipp Plein New Arrival Fashion z8ppW
. "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard."
On the last night of the
Tie Front Jumpsuit Marigold Miss Selfridge Discount Authentic Online View Cheap Online Cheap Marketable BUXjg
on Thursday, Gold Star father Khizr Khan, with his wife by his side, recounted to the crowd how their son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004 by a car bomb in .
Khizr Khan chastised Trump for seeking to bar foreign Muslims from entering the country, saying their son would not have been able to serve under a Trump presidency.
"Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America," Khizr Khan said, addressing Trump. "You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one."
Trump appeared to try to brush the speech aside, saying that Khizr Khan "was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me."
Trump also said, "If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me."
This appears to be Trump tipping his hat to some far-right-wing and nationalist Twitter users who have suggested that Ghazala Khan was silent during her husband's speech because they are Muslim and he prohibits her from speaking.
In an interview with ABC today, Ghazala Khan said she did not speak because she was "in pain."
"Please. I am very upset when I heard when he said that I didn't say anything. I was in pain. If you were in pain, you fight or you don't say anything. I'm not a fighter. I can't fight. So the best thing I do was quiet," she said.
Khizr Khan said he asked his wife of 42 years to speak but she declined, knowing she would be too emotional.
"I invited her, 'Would you like to say something on the stage?' when the invitation came, and she said, 'You know how it is with me, how upset I get,'" he said.
Pressed by Stephanopoulos to identify the sacrifices he made for his country, Trump said, "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot."
Trump also cited his work on behalf of veterans, including helping build a
Eastbay For Sale Metallic Crepe Mini Dress Black Rick Owens Quality Free Shipping For Sale Geniue Stockist Sale Online y0aECUTL
memorial in Manhattan and raising "millions of dollars" for vets.
Paul Rieckoff, the founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonpartisan group with close to 200,000 members, said, "For anyone to compare their 'sacrifice' to a Gold Star family member is insulting, foolish and ignorant. Especially someone who has never served himself and has no children serving. Our country has been at war for a decade and a half, and the truth is most Americans have sacrificed nothing. Most of them are smart and grounded enough to admit it."
Figure 2. Increased susceptibility of EDA mice to collagen-epinephrine induced pulmonary thromboembolism. Data represent percentage (%) of mortality after the injection of a mixture of collagen and epinephrine through the tail vein. The mortality was twice as high in EDA compared with EDA or EDA mice. n=39 to 42 mice per genotype.
Because the EDA
mice were more sensitive in the pulmonary thromboembolism model, we hypothesized that EDA
FN might be prothrombotic, playing a special role in promoting thrombus growth. We performed in vitro flow chamber studies with whole blood from EDA
, and EDA
mice at venous and arterial shear rates in a parallel plate chamber at 37°C over glass coverslips coated with fibrillar collagen type I (
Sale Anemone Broderie Anglaise Organic Cotton Dress Stella McCartney Kids Stella McCartney Sale 2018 9Pil2
). To determine the size of thrombi, the surface area covered by the mepacrine-labeled fluorescent platelets was quantified. The mean ±95% confidence intervals of 6 different optical fields in 3 separate experiments is plotted in Shop Online For Sale Buy Authentic Online SHIRTS Shirts Ilaria Nistri Cheap Find Great Buy Cheap Discounts VqGRE7JkkR
B. We found that EDA +/+ blood formed significantly bigger thrombi covering a larger area than EDA −/− or EDA WT/WT samples when perfused over collagen for 1 minute at shear rate of 1500 s −1 (mean±SEM, 15.5±2.4%, 30.5±5.2%, and 18.7±2.7% for EDA WT/WT , EDA +/+ , and EDA −/− , respectively; ANOVA Test, P ≤0.0001, Bonferroni correction EDA WT/WT versus EDA +/+ , P ≤0.001, EDA +/+ versus EDA −/− , P ≤0.01) suggesting a role of EDA + FN in augmenting thrombus growth. However, at venous shear rate of 250 s −1 the percentage surface area covered were similar among EDA WT/WT , EDA +/+ , and EDA −/− mice (mean±SEM, 7.0±0.9%, 9.2±2.6%, and 10.1±2.2% for EDA WT/WT , EDA +/+ , and EDA −/− , respectively; zigzag taxi dress Black M Missoni Cheap Very Cheap Buy Cheap Good Selling Cheap Marketable Free Shipping Pre Order Outlet In China QwCVj11aKI
). These studies suggest that the EDA + FN plays a prominent role only at arterial shear rates.

A, Representative single-frame images at venous and arterial shear rates. B, Quantification of the surface area covered by platelets after perfusion.
After finding that the EDA + FN promotes thrombus growth in vitro we asked whether the presence of EDA + FN in platelets and plasma would also accelerate thrombosis in vivo. We first evaluated whether EDA containing FN could enhance platelet adhesion at an early time point after ferric chloride-induced endothelial injury. The number of single platelets adhering within 2 to 3 minutes after injury was not significantly different in EDA +/+ mice when compared with EDA WT/WT or EDA −/− mice (EDA WT/WT =328±54, EDA +/+ =299±33, EDA −/− =317±31) suggesting that the EDA + FN does not promote early platelet interaction with the subendothelium.

Nov. 19, 2013
LINCOLN, Neb. — University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension and Nebraska OCIA will co-sponsor a no-till organic crop rotation workshop from 1:30-4 p.m. on Jan. 11 at Central Community College, 4500 63rd St., Columbus.
Randy Anderson, USDA-ARS research agronomist at the North Central Agricultural Research Laboratory in Brookings, S.D., will present his research findings followed by a farmer roundtable discussion on cropping systems. Cost to attend the workshop is $15. Registration is at the door and the event is open to the public.
Anderson, a weed ecologist, will discuss the goal of his research program to develop a continuous no-till cropping system for organic producers. He will present results on converting red clover fields to cropland without tillage and describe a no-till cultural system that suppresses weed growth in soybean more effectively than tillage-based management. Though this is focused on organic producers, any producer wanting to decrease input costs will find this information useful.
Anderson also will discuss the impact of underseeding clovers in winter and spring wheat on downy brome growth. Producers will learn how to minimize the need for tillage to control weeds and how a system based on winter-killed cover crops can control weeds adequately to grow no-till.
Anderson's research focuses on reducing the need for weed management inputs by understanding the aspects of weed population dynamics. He developed a population-based approach to weed management that reduced input costs for weed management 50 percent compared to conventional practices. He looks at the benefit of crop diversity and crop sequences that are synergistic and improve growth efficiency of the following crop, thus crop yield can increase without needing to increase resource inputs such as fertilizer or water. He has observed that tolerance to weed interference is greater with synergistic sequences, thus possibly reducing the need for herbicides.
Producers using no-till rotations can learn more about how synergistic crop sequences are improving land productivity, farm economics, soil health and resource-use-efficiency in the semiarid Great Plains. UNL will share an update on organic research results using crimper and flamer to manage weeds.
A round table discussion will follow so producers will have a chance to discuss their crop rotations and how they can reduce tillage and improve soil health.

The President Signs H.R. 4425 (P.L. 106-246), The Military Construction FY 2001 Appropriations Bill
The President signed H.R. 4425, the Military Construction FY 2001 Appropriations bill, on July 13, 2000. The House agreed to the conference report on the bill on June 29 and the Senate on June 30.
As enacted, the law contains three Social Security-related provisions that:
- Provides an additional $35 million for SSA's Limitation on Administrative Expenses. The money is to cover the administrative costs of implementing the elimination of the retirement earnings test, and is available through September 30, 2001;
- Repeals Section 5527 of Public Law 105-33, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Section 5527 changed the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program payment date from September 29, 2000 (Friday) to October 2, 2000 (Monday). This change will allow SSI beneficiaries to receive their payments on the regular SSI payment schedule date of September 29, 2000. Also, the delay in federal pay dates for military and civilian employees and VA benefits has been repealed by this bill; and
- Compensates victims of the Cerro Grande Fire in New Mexico.

The issue is pretty clear: Columbus residents, by an overwhelming majority, don't want clouds of cigarette smoke interrupting their visits to city parks.
The issue is pretty clear: Columbus residents, by an overwhelming majority, don't want clouds of cigarette smoke interrupting their visits to city parks.
According to a recent survey, 71.6 percent of respondents want parks to be free of tobacco, while 19.2 percent prefer it be relegated to certain areas. A slim percentage -- 9.2 percent -- doesn't want any restrictions.
Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for Columbus Public Health, said 1,500 people responded the survey, which was sent to various community groups and individuals, and posted on city websites from Dec. 2 through Feb. 1.
Columbus Public Health is working collaboratively with the city's Recreation and Parks Department on the issue of tobacco-free parks.
"People were very candid in expressing themselves in what they wanted and what they didn't," Rodriguez said.
"The goal is to reduce the presence of tobacco in our parks so we can protect residents and make sure there's less chance of fire and litter."
In other highlights of the survey, 96.5 percent of respondents want playgrounds to be tobacco-free; 87.8 percent want restrictions near swimming pools; 72 percent want them near spray parks; and another 45.5 percent favor limitations near picnic shelters.
A large majority of respondents -- 87.3 percent -- want the prohibition in place to protect children; 85.4 percent want it to keep the park clean; 82.6 percent want to protect their own health; and 51.6 percent want the policy to reduce the risk of fire.
Steve Aumiller, an assistant director with recreation and parks, said the department hopes to have the new rules in place by this spring.
The Recreation and Parks Commission was expected to adopt the new rules at its meeting Wednesday, Feb. 13.
The next step is to apprise softball teams and other contract users of the rules and put signs in place.
"We want to make sure people understand there's a new policy out," Aumiller said.
The survey seems to indicate people would honor the policy, as 84.9 of respondents said they would respect tobacco-free signage, while 5.1 said they would not.
The rules would be self-enforced, meaning they wouldn't be codified into city law.
Tobacco-free zones, which include smokeless tobacco, already are in place in some city parks. For example, smoking, chewing tobacco and sunflower seeds are prohibited in Berliner Park because of potential damage to the artificial softball infields.
Terry Leist, also an assistant director with recreation and parks, said the policy is a good compromise that protects people from secondhand smoke and allows smokers some freedom in city parks.
"I think there has to be a balance for people who do smoke," she said. "They're not indoors or in a confined space."

WILMINGTON, Mass. – Instead of chasing after Philadelphia center Mike Richards like a crazy old lady with a rolling pin in those old cartoons, the Bruins should be trying to emulate the Flyers captain's hard-nosed, win-at-all cost approach to the game.
Whereas that attitude sometimes shines through in the Bruins' play, it never wanes in Richards. That's why he's been a huge factor in the Flyers' ability to prevent the Eastern Conference semifinal series with Boston from ending, and why there's so much momentum Philly's way heading into Game 6 Wednesday with them still down 3-2.
When Bruins center Marc Savard first retaliated against a Richards hit by going after the center with his gloves on and his stick still in hand, and then second used his postgame time with the media Monday to throw out veiled accusations of Richards being a dirty player, he came off as disingenuous. Savard tried to compare the hit Richards threw at him in Game 5 to ones that injured David Krejci in Game 3 and Florida's David Booth earlier this season. But just like the previous two Richards hits, the Flyers center's check on Savard was a clean shoulder to the body blow. The hit on Booth was obviously a tad high, but it was within the rules of the time. And no one can ever get inside Richards' head to determine his intent.
One day after their embarrassing 4-0 loss to the Flyers in Game 5, other Bruins were more respectful and understanding of what Richards is trying to do.
"In any playoff series, I think your top guys are targeted. You try to get under their skin, you try to let them know that they're not just going to float around and maybe that's what he was doing on that play," said defenseman Matt Hunwick, who also gave Richards the best description a Philadelphia player can get.
"He's going to finish checks, he's going to do whatever it takes to win. He's definitely a Flyer. So he's a good player."
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk also characterized Richards as clean.
"I think he's just trying to play hard. If he gets somebody in his sights to hit him, he's going to hit him. You know he's probably not going to try to do it dirty. If he does, then we'll take exception. If he has a clean hit, you can't really do too much about that," said Boychuk.
That's a breath of fresh air that the Bruins aren't sitting around pointing fingers and accusing Richards of any dirty tricks. Hopefully, they realize that not only is Richards an honest player that epitomizes what hockey should be all about, but they could all afford to incorporate some of Richards' style of play into their own games.
No less than Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton explained playing against Richards like this:
"He plays with an edge, so he plays hard. He's a pain in the ass to play against," said the winger. "Those are the types of guys you hate playing against and you'd love to have on your team. So he's doing what he thinks he needs to do to help his team."
In Game 5, the Bruins had no one that could hold a candle to Richards in the heart and grit departments. To their credit, they made it this far in the playoffs by playing the type of hockey that you attribute to Richards, to the best contending teams of recent years and to the glorious Bruins teams of the recent past.
Now they just need to get back to playing a brand hockey that might leave the Flyers complaining and might make Richards find out how hard it is to play against someone like him.

ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - Nov 27, 2012) - MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of Packaged Facts' "Moms as Food Shoppers: Grocery Store and Supercenter Patterns and Trends," to their collection of market research reports.
Each year Moms have a hand in spending nearly $200 billion on food purchased for use at home, and of course food marketers and grocers have long targeted Moms as their essential consumer segment. Even so, marketers need to find new ways to engage today's tech-immersed foodie Moms, who are at the epicenter of the new home-based food culture and in the vanguard of the movement toward healthy eating.
Packaged Facts' "Moms as Food Shoppers: Grocery Store and Supercenter Patterns and Trends" delves deeply into the mindset of today's Moms before their trip to the grocery store and analyzes their food shopping behavior in the store. The report provides actionable insights to help brand marketers and grocers understand what they can do to help today's busy Moms achieve their goals of putting healthy and interesting home-cooked meals on the table while saving precious time and balancing their budgets.
This completely new Packaged Facts report shows what marketers and grocers can expect from a new generation of Moms who turn to blogs for meal planning information before the store and use mobile apps to make sure they are getting the best deals in the store. Many of the report's findings may challenge conventional thinking about Moms as food shoppers. For example, although marketers have traditionally appealed to the "pester power" of kids in the supermarket, the report reveals that on their most recent food shopping trip a majority (56%) of Moms were alone and blissfully free from the demands of their kids as they made their way up and down the aisles of the grocery store.
One of the major threads of the report is that Moms want grocery stores to step up to help them plan and prepare healthy family meals. Besides enhancing what they offer Moms on their websites, grocers can build relationships with Moms looking for interesting and innovative cooking tips by strengthening their in-store cooking and meal planner programs. Compared to food shoppers on average, Moms are 33% more likely to choose grocery stores offering cooking classes or cooking videos and 23% more likely to pick stores providing meal planner and recipe information.
The report also highlights broad societal trends that will have a significant impact on food marketers and grocers. For example, over the next few years the ongoing steady decline in the number of births in the United States will create headwinds for grocers and food marketers targeting Moms with kids at home. As Hispanic Moms with kids at home become an increasingly important segment of food shoppers, food marketers and grocers will need to shift their thinking to accommodate the perspectives of Latinas, who spend more money on items such as fresh fruits and vegetables on the perimeter of the grocery store and much less on frozen, canned and packaged foods in the center of the store.

yesterday i was i some chat - and a person there knew a lot of thing about me-about my connection, ip,,,,,,,,
without me telling him,of course
how did he do that?
how can i do that too? anyone knows?
thank you
What kind of chat, what client, and did you make any file transfers, or direct connections with them?
Usually chats mask the host... So like Soda said, if you initiated a connection (to send files say) or something of that nature they could have found out. So if you do stuff like that, make sure you trust the person for other obvious reasons like malware.
IRC servers don't always mask the host, and even when they do a lot of them are transparent. Undernet is the only truly reliable one I've been on, but many forget to enable /mode <nick> +x so you can still be 'seen'.
Direct connections on file-transfers can be traced with netstat.
I am not familiar with AOL/AIM/ICQ/Yahoo chat rooms because I don't visit them. But I'm sure even those can be traced one way or another.
as far as msn and yahoo goes the chat is routed through the respective servers hence there is no direct way to trace or get real IP of the person by watching active connections. but if you start a file transfer the chat client Establishes a direct connection between you and the other person. but i have heard that after yahoo messanger V 6.0 and MSN messanger V 6.1 and later even file transfers are routed through their servers. i have not confermed this, but ultimately only way to get your IP in Yahoo and MSN chat is to start a file transfer.
Parth Maniar,
*Thank you GOD*
Greater the Difficulty, SWEETER the Victory.
Believe in yourself.
noone has mentioned this yet, but the 'whois' function is more than likely what they used... this option is available depending on what client / chat you use....
otherwise anything mentioned above about file transfers is correct and possible.
i dont think you should worry too much until they start finding out where you live and personal information that should not be publicised.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."
- Albert Einstein
No one mentioned it cos we didnt know if he was on IRC or not CybertecOne..and most IRC servers set mode +x now,so a whois basically turns up zilch...dcc's so much better...specially with half the world still not upgrading from the 6.0x
Thread seems to've gone a lil quiet..maayan_ron..a lil more feedback mate lol,though your answers're prolly a file transfer,dcc or a whois
Havent heard about the MSN file transfer being routed through the server...I seem to remember I got the ip even with 6.2..on another note though,yahoo though used to establish a direct conncetion as opposed to routing it through their server if you were on for a long time(looong time ago,doesnt work now)...funny though,I'd have expected more people lambasting ICQ
thank you all
though i didnt underatand all' but i think i got tje picture
sorry for the ignorance but what is it "whois"? how can i performed it?
thank you all
though i didnt understand all, but i think i got the picture
sorry for the ignorance but what is it "whois"? how can i performed it?
You still havent answered the question maayan_ron
and whois:it's a command on irc that lets you check if a particular nick is online...with a list of all the room's he's in and the ip(usually masked now though)
Syntax:/whois nickname
a /whois nickname nickname if you want to find out for how long they've been idle

text: REST vs SOAP, the difference between soap and rest Fri, Jan 15, 2010 - Read in 4 Min Someone asked me a question today "Why would anyone choose SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) instead of REST (Representational State Transfer)?" My response: "The general rule of thumb I've always heard is 'Unless you have a definitive reason to use SOAP use REST'". He asked "what's one reason?" I thought about it for a minute and honestly answered that I haven't ever come across a reason. My background is building great internet companies.

HISTORICAL tales of Davenham have now entered the modern age thanks to the internet.
Two books by Davenham authors, originally produced in mid Cheshire as paperbacks, are now available on Amazon as Kindle e-books.
They are 'Nellie's Story – A Life of Service' by the late Elizabeth Ellen Osborne, formerly of Charles Avenue, and 'A Nun's Grave – A novel set in the Vale Royal of England' by Alan K Leicester, of Green Avenue.
Nellie Osborne worked her way up the pecking order of servants from lowly between maid to lady's companion and help. Following her marriage she was a nurse, a dinner lady and a much-loved foster-parent with her husband Ralph.
Her recollections paint a vivid picture of times when infant mortality was high, school discipline was brutal and her mother often received second-hand clothes in lieu of wages.
She described the flashes and meadows, flowers and birds of her rural surroundings and could even list the names of all the other children at her school.
She died in 2005, aged 91.
The story of the nun's grave was inspired by a frightening experience at Vale Royal Abbey for a young Alan K Leicester, which led him to undertake years of research into the subject.
He wove his findings into a thought-provoking novel on two time-scales.
The 14th century fates of novice nun Ida Godman and young monk John of Dutton become inextricably entwined with the present-day lives of newlyweds Ian and Jane who buy a house on the site of the abbey.
Alan has always stressed however that the novel is a work of fiction and not of scholarship.
Both are published by Léonie Press, of Hartford.

It might be in students' best interest for mom and dad to cut the purse strings when it comes to paying for college.
Continue Reading Below
A recent study shows that while parents who fund their child's college education increase children's chances of attending college and completing their degree, students with their parental financial support scaled back on their academic efforts.
In her research, Laura Hamilton, a sociology professor at the University of California, Merced, found that as parental aid increased, students in every income group experienced a drop in GPA, with the steepest curve among the most privileged students.
While most students may have difficulty taking on the entire cost of college, parents can use this opportunity to help them achieve their educational goals while also learning financial responsibility, says Ameriprise Financial advisor Anna Behnam.
"The students that are partially responsible appear to have better financial goals, savings habits and overall better financial responsibility—[they] are the ones who call me to discuss how to pay off the loans faster, how to maximize employer benefits and how to participate in 401(k) plans as well as learn about IRAs," she says.
If parents take on too much of the monetary burden of their child's education, they could end up compromising their own financial future, says Mark Maiewski, certified college planning specialist and founder of StopOverPayingForCollege .
"Now you have to come out and pay $40,000, $50,000, $60,000 out of pocket; if you just got a normal interest rate, that money could double by the time you're ready to retire," he says. "Students have 40 or 50 years of earning power after that—they should accept responsibility and parents should not take that on."
Here are expert tips on how parents and students can split the responsibility of tackling college costs without breaking the bank.
Find a school that matches the budget. A big price tag doesn't always mean a quality education, so families need to identify students' needs, wants and expectations out of a college.
"Too many people feel that they have to get a caviar education on a tuna fish budget—don't go overboard," says Maiewski. "Part of that is to understand if you cannot afford to do this, you cannot afford to go into debt, you're going to ruin your financial future, then you talk to your student about it."
Families can compare and contrast what monthly obligations both parents and students can expect after graduation using a college cost adjuster, says Patrick Kandianis, co-founder of SimpleTuition.
"In general, folks are starting to focus more on can you manage this cost when you get out? The follow up to that is can you get a job to help you afford that obligation when you get out?"
Discuss student loan parameters. Experts say it's essential that families sit down and discuss how the borrowing process works to make sure everyone understands the amount and terms.
Oftentimes parents don't understand the limitations that students face when borrowing on their own, says Maiewski.
"They think, 'well I'll just let the kid borrow it all'--the most they can get is $5,500 as a freshman from the government, that doesn't cover even two thirds of the tuition at state schools nowadays," he says. "You have to co-sign for them or have to borrow all of it in your name at outrageous rates, 7.9% and above."
Borrowing through student and parent loan programs allows both parties to contribute as long everyone is on the same page in terms of what repayment obligations will require, says Kandianis.
"If you look at it before you go and get an understanding of finding the right balance of financing and the shared responsibility, that's a very sound way to approach the issue of, 'as a family, how can we afford that?'"
Find ways to make school cheaper. Students should exhaust every outlet of free money available by applying to as many scholarships and grants they are eligible for and research any work-study programs.
"The biggest chunk of 'free aid' comes from the schools themselves, so a scholarship for $500 is great but that's not really going to move the needle, however, every little bit counts," Kandianis says.
Reinforce smart spending habits. Behnam recommends students take on a low-limit credit card to help them understand how monthly payments work and build their credit without the possibility of getting into too much debt.
"Keep in mind that having a student loan and/or credit card in the student's name helps them build credit early in life—something that parents will appreciate when they do not have to cosign the car loan after college or personally guarantee the apartment rental agreement," she says.
No matter how families decide to split up financial responsibilities, it's important for parents and students to maintain open communication throughout the whole process, suggests Kandianis.
"Families that are having conversations like these open up a lot more good result possibilities as opposed to families that are just writing the check, because maybe there's never this real understanding of what the money costs and what the return is on it."

Manchester man arrested in gun threat
May 07. 2013 2:08PM
MANCHESTER - A 21-year-old man is under arrest for criminal threatening after he pointed a BB gun at another man's head in an incident inside a Wilson Street apartment, according to police.
Police said they were called Monday about 5:30 p.m. to 200 Wilson St. for a reported gun threat. Officers met with a couple outside, and the man, Ryan Bissonnette, 34, no current address, told them Christian Edwards, 21, of 558 Chestnut St., had threatened him with a gun.
Bissonnette said he and his 25-year-old female companion had gone to the Wilson Street apartment to retrieve some clothing. Bissonnette waited in the kitchen with Edwards and several other people while his friend retrieved belongings from a bedroom.
Suddenly, Bissonnette told police, Edwards pulled out a handgun, pointed it at his head and told him to leave the apartment.
Bissonnette was uncertain why Edwards was provoked, but he said he and his friend quickly left.
Police arrested Edwards without incident. Police said they found marijuana on him and also recovered a black BB pistol believed used in the threat. The orange tip was blacked out, making it look like an authentic pistol, according to authorities.
Also arrested was Tanysha Johnson, 19, of 200 Wilson St., who was wanted on an unrelated bench warrant.

Blighty might have astronauts in future, says UK gov
They will ride into space astride flying pigs
The UK government is to reconsider the idea of British astronauts, after deciding 22 years ago that there would be none.
The BBC reports today that a new review of manned spaceflight will be carried out by the British National Space Centre (BNSC) - a government body - as part of the new space strategy. The BNSC will report on the potential costs and benefits that might result from Blighty's boys and girls going into space.
The final decision will be made by ministers at the Department for Innovation, Universities, and Skills (which has science within its portfolio).
Science and Innovation Minister Ian Pearson said: "Space technology is a vital part of our everyday life... Applications from space underpin today's major business sectors... The UK is at the leading edge."
Recent UK space efforts have included the Beagle lander, which hitched a ride to Mars aboard a European spacecraft at colossal expense and then plunged to oblivion achieving nothing.
More positively, British makers have produced the initial GIOVE-A testbed satellite for the Galileo sat nav programme, and will now produce an interim GIOVE-A2 to keep hold of the project's frequency slots.
Whether or not the UK decides to have astronauts, finding and funding spacecraft for them to fly on could be problematic. The scientific budgets are under severe strain at present owing to the running costs of so-called "big science" projects such as the Diamond particle-punisher.
Blighty's physics and astronomy boffins are facing severe job losses as a result, and are already up in arms. If even more of them were sacrificed to pay for a small number of space aces - some of whom at least would presumably not be scientists at all - there would be even more trouble.
The head of the RAF has lately said he would happily provide some of his highly-trained aircrew to be astronauts, but the British military is also strapped for cash and certainly has none to spare for spaceships.
The new UK-forces Skynet 5 comm sats had to be bought with money borrowed on the promise it would be repaid from Treasury "conflict resolution" budget supplements in coming years. This seems a safe bet as the conflict in Afghanistan will take a long time to resolve; but this probably isn't a viable way to fund manned spaceflights.
All in all, then, the putative British astronauts' best chance of actually getting into space would seem to involve trying for a free ride with NASA - or perhaps the Russians, Europeans, Chinese, maybe orbital bubble tycoon Robert Bigelow - some outfit which is actually serious about space exploration.
In effect, the UK government has no real space ambitions - none that it's prepared to back up with cash, anyway - and this doesn't really seem to be changing. A Briton keen to get into space would probably have a better chance of doing so by becoming a billionaire biz kingpin and buying his or her way into orbit than by trying for a future British astronaut programme.
Mr Pearson said: "These coming decades promise to be even more exciting than the last. The Government is determined that the UK remains at the forefront of the evolving space scene." [Our emphasis].
"I look forward to working with all sides of the space community in delivering our exciting vision," he added. ®

Seattle fortunate to get win in opener
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Pete Carroll started Monday by acknowledging how fortunate the Seattle Seahawks were to get out of Carolina with a victory, knowing that a year ago that same performance would have likely led to a loss.
Consider it another step in the growth of Carroll's team that lost games on the road last season just like Sunday's 12-7 win over Carolina.
"As it came down to the fourth quarter we needed to make some things happen and we were able to do that at the crucial time and critical areas," Carroll said.
The Seahawks were able to find plenty of mistakes when they looked back at the victory, highlighted by a running game that managed only 70 yards and struggling to give Russell Wilson time in the pocket early in the game.
But Wilson and Seattle's offensive line made adjustments to keep the quarterback clean and that led to Wilson's best regular season passing game — in terms of yards — in his young career. Seattle also closed the game with the ball, running the final 5:25 off the clock and never allowing Carolina a final chance after DeAngelo Williams' fumble at the Seattle 8.
"The guys executed really well. We had to block well, we had to pick up the pressure, we had to run and pass the ball to get through that sequence to run the clock out," Carroll said. "We take a lot of pride in the way we finish stuff and that's the perfect illustration of finishing a football game."
Wilson started the game 1 of 5 passing and closed by hitting 24 of his final 27 throws. The 320 yards passing marked the first time Wilson eclipsed the 300-yard mark in the regular season and is second only to his 385 yards passing in the Seahawks' playoff loss at Atlanta last January.
Seattle needed Wilson to be outstanding in the pass game because of a running attack that never found success until the closing drive.
Marshawn Lynch was held to 43 yards on 17 carries with a long run of 14 yards that was Seattle's final positive-yardage play before kneeling down three times to close out the game. Lynch's backup, Robert Turbin, had only three carries for 17 yards, which included a 15-yard run. Wilson ran five times for 7 yards.
Carroll took partial responsibility for the problems in the run game.
"We just didn't get it done the way we like. I contributed to that so I've got to make sure I help out and do the right things to make sure we get on track with what is really important to us," Carroll said. "We didn't zero in early enough where we could make the adjustments that we normally make. It just took us a while. At the end of the game we were able to run the ball enough to make the drives that we needed and things worked out, it just took longer than needed."
The Seahawks victory could be coupled with good injury news.
Defensive end Cliff Avril has a "good possibility" of playing on Sunday night against San Francisco should he not have any setbacks in practice this week. Avril has been slowed by a hamstring injury and was close to being able to play against Carolina but the Seahawks opted to hold him out.
Seattle's not quite as optimistic about starting cornerback Brandon Browner, who also missed the Carolina game with a hamstring injury. Carroll said Browner would go through running drills on Wednesday and the earliest he would practice would be Thursday.
Defensive end Chris Clemons is also expected to practice this week, although he would be unlikely to play against the 49ers. Clemons has not gone through any contact drills in his recovery from major knee surgery.
"We just need to get him through the practice routine and see if he can handle it, which we think he can. He looks great. But he hasn't done that yet," Carroll said. "He'll be working against other guys and pushing and shoving and all of that in a limited fashion and we'll just take it one day at a time and see how he progresses."

Sept. 3, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – Boosted by a 6-0 start to the season and two nationally-ranked victories, the Florida State indoor volleyball team has earned another program milestone with a school-record No. 6 ranking in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association Poll released Monday.
Making their 54th appearance in the AVCA Top 25 Poll, the Seminoles eclipsed the program's previous-best ranking of No. 7 that occurred in the final 2011 poll. Prior to head coach Chris Poole's arrival in 2008, FSU did not make a Top 25 appearance since Sept. 22, 1998.
As they coach into their fifth seasons at FSU, Poole, associate head coach Holly Watts and assistant coach Gokhan Yilmaz have guided the Seminoles to 40 appearances in the Top 25. All three coaches have been behind the biggest period of success in program history, which includes an NCAA regional final appearance in 2009, an NCAA national semifinal in 2011 and recruiting the current freshmen class that ranked third nationally.
Florida State has also won two ACC titles in two of the first four seasons with the current coaching staff, and has been predicted to earn another one in the preseason conference coaches' poll.
Fully aware of everything his program has achieved, Poole is pleased with the early success this season but knows that more work must be done in order to have staying power.
"We are honored to be ranked No. 6 in the AVCA Coaches poll," head coach Chris Poole said. "However, I realize that this is early in the season and many things can change quickly. The season is not a sprint, but a marathon and if the players want to meet expectations at the end of the season, they need to continue improving every week.
"Every team can experience injuries, sickness and off nights. It is important for each of our players to step up and contribute every day in practice and be ready to perform under pressure at game time."
Florida State will be looking toward a difficult matchup this Friday as it faces Miami on the road in an ESPNU-televised contest at 7:30 p.m. It will be the team's first test since holding its program-record ranking, a measuring-stick match against an in-state rival that will give the FSU good preparation for conference play.
First, FSU hosts an exhibition against the Slovenian Junior National Team on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at Tully Gym. It will be an opportunity for several student-athletes to earn floor time and continue their development through the season.
"We have players that really dedicated themselves this summer and we have incoming players that are pushing hard for playing time," Poole said of his student-athletes. "This is a great group of young ladies and I'm proud of how hard they are working right now."
Fans can follow the Seminoles on Tuesday night on the team's official Twitter page – twitter.com/FSU_Volleyball.
